The Pickwick Papers


            Detective Constable Mackenzie "Mac" Stone suffers blackouts about the night his wife Lucia disappeared three months earlier. He drinks heavily and obsessively searches for her, only knowing that shortly after she left, she emptied their joint bank account and called him one last time from Paris.John Dean lost his entire memory five years ago in a car crash; since his amnesia is the result of a brain injury, he has no hope of remembering his past. Dean is offered 7,000 Pounds to participate in a Cambridge lab trial which may heal his injuries and restore his memory. Dean turns it down because he does not want to know who he was before the crash. Dean is now happily married to Jenna; he handles the accounts for her newly created yacht design company.While searching missing person files for his wife, Stone decides that Dean is really a missing IT professional named Paul West. Stone's partner and best friend, Detective Constable Ian Reid, agrees to help investigate. At first it seems unlikely that Dean is West: the men resemble each other, but only slightly. West committed suicide by jumping off a Channel ferry after his wife and stepson were killed in a house fire that was ruled accidental. But West's body was never found, and Stone finds enough clues to convince him that the fire was a premeditated murder and Dean is faking his amnesia.When Stone hears that there has been an accident at Jenna's company, he rushes to the hospital, accusing Dean of attempted murder. But Dean is the one who was hurt, keeping Jenna from harm. When Dean complains to Reid, Reid reveals that Stone has not been himself since Lucia disappeared. Reid also reveals that Stone, and only Stone, believes that Dean is a man named Paul West, who killed his wife and stepson.Stone's behavior becomes even more erratic. He seems to see Lucia leave their house. Stone receives an anonymous letter reading "Why did you do it?". Stone gives the letter to Reid to investigate. Stone admits he has waking nightmares, seeing Lucia everywhere. Since he was drunk the night she left, Stone cannot remember what they argued about. He thinks he remembers blood or mud on his clothes afterward. Reid asks Stone if Stone hit Lucia, but Stone cannot remember. Reid discovers that the letter was created on the same kind of computer and printer that Stone owns. Stone receives a second anonymous letter reading "Why did you kill her?". He hides the letter from Reid.Jenna's new yacht designing business is having financial trouble. She discovers that she is pregnant. Dean agrees to participate in the Cambridge trial for the money. The Cambridge trial discovers that there is no physical damage to Dean's brain; if he ever had amnesia, he does not have it now. Dean does not tell Jenna.A third anonymous letter is set to Reid at the police station reading "Check Stone joint account". Reid shows it to his boss, Detective Inspector Brennan. Reid expresses his belief that Stone killed Lucia in a jealous rage, when Stone learned Lucia was unfaithful. Brennan asks how Reid can know this, and Reid admits he was having an affair with Lucia. Acknowledging that Reid might not be objective, Brennan tells Reid to investigate Lucia's disappearance. Reid finds no record of Lucia buying a plane or train ticket to Paris; no record of her calling Stone from Paris; and no record she withdrew any money after she disappeared. Reid tells Brennan of Stone's drinking, blackouts and obsession with Dean; Reid expresses his belief that Stone is sending the anonymous letters himself, as a subconscious confession.Stone's continued investigation puts a strain on Dean's marriage. Jenna suggests terminating the pregnancy and Dean agrees. At the last minute, she can't go through with the abortion.Stone's investigation of Dean leads him to conclude that Dean has created other fake identities in the past and committed other murders. Stone believes Dean's MO is to find a woman who has just gone through a messy divorce, marry her, convince her to "follow her dreams" by starting a company with him, embezzle as much money as possible from the company, kill her and then fake his own death. Stone believes that Dean kills the women when they discover his secret -- or become pregnant (because a baby's DNA will be evidence tying Dean to his victim).Brennan performs an illegal search of Stone's house and finds a large bloodstain under the carpet. Brennan has Stone arrested for Lucia's murder. Stone leads the police to the spot where he last remembers seeing Lucia. Instead of finding a body, they discover Lucia herself, alive. She confirms that Stone has not been hallucinating: she has been in the area, trying to get up the nerve to end her marriage and her affair with Reid in a more adult manner. She also confirms to the police that she did empty the joint bank account, book a ticket to Paris under her own name, and called Stone from Paris. She also confirms that Stone hit her on the night she left, which explains the blood stain. Brennan and the other police realize that Dean must have electronically tampered with the evidence of Lucia leaving to frame Stone for her murder.Dean talks Jenna into taking a vacation, sailing a client's yacht to Saint-Malo, France. In the middle of the English channel, Jenna finds a hidden, waterproof package with a large amount of cash and ID documents for Dean's next identity. Before Dean can kill her, Stone and Brennan arrive in a police boat. As Jenna jumps overboard and is rescued, Stone and Dean fight on the yacht. Dean tauntingly says that Stone will not get what he wants and leaps off the yacht, disappearing under the water. The police cannot find Dean's body.The film ends with Dean in an unnamed resort, conning another woman into following her dreams. He introduces himself as "Mac Stone".
    

Amnesia

Friends & Crocodiles


            WWII. The British headquarters move to Brideshead, a mansion in the middle of the English countryside, and Charles is one of those in charge. He happens to be the narrator of the story, and while he makes some comments about the uncomfortability of the place and its inadequate geography, he also remembers with fondness his past happiness there.A painter who is showcasing his last South-American jungle-themed collection leaves the party where many East-Coast millionaires are buying his paintings. He sees a woman and goes after her. When she has reached her first-class cabin, she turns and says "Hello, Charles."Flashback to Charles Ryder (Matthew Goode) starting his first year at Cambridge, and his cousin Jasper (Richard Teveron) shows him around. Charles wants to be a painter, but he must study something more practical, so he goes for History. He gets a room in the ground floor of one of the dorms. Even before he has unpacked, a drunk student appears and throws up in the floor. The next day, Charles gets some flowers from that student, Sebastian Flyte (Ben Whishaw) a homosexual English Lord who hangs out with Anthony Blanche (Joseph Beattie) - a flamboyant homosexual as well - and Boy Mulcaster (Mark Field).Sebastian and Charles become friends, but they never fulfill their sexual desire - an unsolved sexual tension grows on between then. Sebastian takes Charles to see Brideshead, the manor mansion of his family, and Nanny (Rita Davies), an elderly lady who has always taken care of Sebastian and who says that she is praying for Sebastian's soul. Charles considers this a bit odd, but he doesn't make any comment about it. They leave before Sebastian's mother appear with some Conservative ladies. On such a rush visit, Charles can only catch glimpses of the paintings at Brideshead. He leaves fascinated and mesmerized with the palace, the views, the art, the ever-obliging servicepeople. Also, on their way out, Charles catches a glimpse of Sebastian's older sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell).Summer holidays. Charles finds his father's (Patrick Malahide) company utterly boring, so he runs to Brideshead after Sebastian sends a telegramme asking Charles to come because he was in an accident. Sebastian only injured his foot. Charles and Sebastian get closer and closer.Charles will know the rest of the family: Cordelia, (Felicity Jones), who sends money to some African nuns so that they christen an African girl with her name, Brideshead "Bridey" (Ed Stoppard), business-minded and too formal, and mother-of-four Lady Marchmain (Emma Thomson), who is a die-hard Catholic, the tyrant of her house. However, this time, in spite of her objections, Sebastian and Julia will visit their estranded father (Michael Gambon),and Charles tags along.They are happy there. They also meet Cara (Greta Scacchi), the father's lover. She tells Charles that Sebastian will always like men, but that for Charles himself will be only a phase. During the Carnival, Charles kisses Julia, who will run away afterwards. Sebastian sees that kiss, and his mood towards everything changes.When they return to Brideshead, Sebastian takes to drinking too much, and Lady Marchmain tells Charles that he could never possibly marry Julia, as Charles is an Atheist. Lady Marchmain asks Charles to take care of Sebastian for Julia's 21st birthday party. He gives Sebastian money so that he can buy more drink. Sebastian makes a fool of himself at the party. Julia announces that he is going to marry Rex Mottram (Jonathan Cake), richer than her own family, and a Catholic. She may not be really in love with Rex, and Cordelia thinks Rex is horrible. Lady Marchmain puts Charles out as he has given money to Sebastian.Four years later, Charles is hard at work, painting. He meets Celia Mulcaster (Anna Madeley) while at work. They marry soon.Lady Marchmain appears to ask a favour of Charles: to bring Sebastian back from Morocco. Although Charles refuses at first, he'll travel there. He finds that Sebastian is really sick, and he doesn't want to come back to Brideshead. Charles says that Sebastian has found some piece of mind while working on a monk abbey. Soon afterwards of acknowledging Sebastian's refusal, Lady Marchmain dies.Back at the party, Celia insists that Charles should socialize with the wealthy party-goers. Anthony Blanche appears, seemingly mocking himself and Charles. Anthony says that Charles is ambitious. Anthony makes a comment that, when Charles decided to spend the holidays with Sebastian and Julia, Charles would be like a sheep among the wolves, but he realises that it happen all the opposite way, because Charles has hunted both Sebastian and Julia. "There is no stop to your ambition", he says, and Charles doesn't even pretend to reject this preposition.Charles and Julia make love, (finally). Later, they go to the bar, and they decide each one of them will leave their spouse and live together, maybe in Paris or Italy. Back at Brideshead, Bridey arrives to have dinner with them, telling them of his approaching marriage to a strict Catholic who would never visit somebody living in sin. Julia gets deeply upset because of it. Charles talks to Rex. He'll free her in exchange for some of Charles' paintings.Cordelia appears to say that Sebastian is healthy again, and that he's stayed at the hospital to work there. When Charles and Julia are about to leave Brideshead, Lord Marchmain appears to die at his old home, so Julia feels she can't leave. He refuses to see Father Mackay (Niall Buggy). Lord Marchmain says that he and Charles have betrayed Sebastian. In a conversation with Julia, Charles realises -and admits aloud- that he's always wanted Brideshead.Lord Marchmain makes the sign of the cross and receives the last rites just before he dies, in view of all the family. Julia won't be able to resist: her faith prevents her from leaving Brideshead. Charles leaves alone, and wonders if he wanted too much, or whether he was blind to their strong faith.WWII. The British headquarters move to Brideshead and Charles is one of those in charge. He talks with Hooper (Thomas Morrison), a soldier who believes that this life is all there is. Hooper says that the older brother has died and there is a sister who normally lives in the house, but is currently overseas with the women's service. Charles goes into the house and enters the chapel, dipping his fingers in the holy water. He walks over to a statue of Mary and young Jesus and a burning candle and stands there remembering Sebastian and Julia. He holds his wet fingers in front of the candle flame, intending to snuff it out, then decides not to and leaves the chapel. We see his unfocused figure walking out of the house.
