- What do you want? - Melina.
She's busy.
But Mary here, she's free.
Well, not free, honey, but...
available.
Thanks. I'll wait for Melina.
Earth slime.
Thing is, friend, Mel's real picky.
She sticks to her regulars.
She'll like me.
Mel!
Hello, Hauser.
Still bulging, I see.
- What you been feeding this thing? - Blondes.
I think it's still hungry.
You got a lot of nerve showing your face around here, Hauser.
Look who's talking.
Hey, Tony, give the big guy a break.
Relax. You'll live longer.
Come on.
- Honey, take care of Tony, will you? - No problem.
If you need any help with this one, give me a holler.
You son of a bitch.
You're alive? I thought that Cohaagen tortured you to death.
Well, I guess he didn't.
And you couldn't get me a message? You never wondered what happened to me?
Hauser, thank God you're alive.
Melin-- Melina. Melina.
- I have to tell you something. - What?
- I don't remember you. - What are you talking about?
I don't remember you.
I don't remember us. I don't even remember me.
Did you get amnesia? How did you get here?
- Hauser left me a note. - You're Hauser.
Not anymore.
Now I'm Quaid. Douglas Quaid.
- Hauser, you've lost your mind. - No, Cohaagen stole it.
He found out that Hauser switched sides, so he turned him into somebody else: me.
This is too weird.
He dumped me on earth with a wife and a lousy job--
Did you say wife? Are you fucking married?
- She wasn't really my wife. - Oh, she isn't?
How stupid of me. She was Hauser's wife?
- Forget that I said wife. - Let's just forget everything.
- I'm sick of hearing your goddamn lies. - Why would I lie to you?
Because you're still working for Cohaagen.
Don't be ridiculous.
You never loved me, Hauser.
You just used me to get inside.
Inside what?
I think you'd better leave.
-Melina, Hauser sent me to do something. -I'm not falling for it.
He says there's enough in here to nail Cohaagen for good.
- Get out! - You've got to help me remember!
- I said, get out! - Melina, please!
People are trying to kill me.
Really?
All right, I'm leaving.
Baby, you make me wish I had three hands.
I think you're doing just fine with two.
Excuse me, baby. We'll pick this up later.
Hey, that didn't take long.
Let me ask you a question. Did you ever fuck a mutant?
- Take me to the hotel. - I know these Siamese twins.
Man, you won't know if you're coming or going.
This afternoon at 4:30 p.m., I signed an order declaring martial law...
throughout the Mars federal colony.
I will not tolerate any further damage to our mineral export operations.
Mr. Kuato and his terrorists must understand...
that their self-defeating efforts will only bring misery and suffering--
Mr. Quaid?
What?
I need to talk to you about Mr. Hauser.
- Who are you? - Dr. Edgemar from Rekall.
- How did you find me? - It's difficult to explain.
Could you open the door? I'm unarmed.
Don't worry. I'm alone. May I come in?
- What do you want? - This will be hard for you to accept.
- I'm listening. - You're not really standing here now.
- Doc, you could have fooled me. - I'm quite serious.
You're not here and neither am l.
That's amazing.
- Where are we? - At Rekall.
You're strapped into an implant chair...
and I'm monitoring you from the psychoprobe console.
Ah, I get it. I'm dreaming.
And all this is part of the delightful vacation your company has sold me.
Not exactly.
What you're experiencing is a free-form delusion based on our memory tapes...
but you're inventing it yourself as you go along.
If it is my delusion, who the hell invited you?
I've been artificially implanted as an emergency measure.
I'm sorry to tell you this, but you've suffered a schizoid embolism.
We can't snap you out of your fantasy...
and I've been sent in to try to talk you down.
How much is Cohaagen paying you for this?
Think about it. Your dream started in the middle of the implant procedure.
Everything after that-- the chases, the trip to Mars...
the suite at the Hilton-- are elements of your Rekall Holiday and Ego Trip.
You paid to be a secret agent.
Bullshit. It's coincidence.
And what about the girl?
Brunette, athletic, sleazy and demure?
Just as you specified. Is that coincidence?
She's real. I dreamt about her before I even went to Rekall.
Mr. Quaid.
Can you hear yourself? She's real because you dreamed her?
- That's right. - Maybe this will convince you.
Would you mind opening the door?
- You open it. - No need to be rude.
I'll do it.
Sweetheart?
Come in, Mrs. Quaid.
- I suppose you're not here either. - I'm here...
at Rekall.
I love you.
Right. That's why you tried to kill me.
No. I'd never do anything to hurt you.
I want you to come back to me.
- Bullshit. - What's bullshit, Mr. Quaid?
That you're having a paranoid episode triggered by acute neurochemical trauma?
Or that you're really an invincible secret agent from Mars...
who's the victim of an interplanetary conspiracy to make him think...
he's a lowly construction worker?
Stop punishing yourself, Doug.
You're a fine, upstanding man. You have a beautiful wife who loves you.
Your whole life is ahead of you.
But you've got to want to return to reality.
Let's assume I do. Then what?
- Swallow this. - What is it?
It's a symbol of your desire to return to reality.
Inside your dream, you'll fall asleep.
All right, let's say you're telling the truth and this is all a dream.
Then I could pull this trigger and it won't matter.
- Doug, don't. - It won't make a difference to me.
But the consequences to you would be devastating. In your mind I'll be dead.
With no one to guide you out, you'll be stuck in permanent psychosis.
Doug, let Dr. Edgemar help you.
The walls of reality will come crashing down.
One minute you'll be the savior of the rebel cause, and right after that...
you'll be Cohaagen's bosom buddy.
You'll even have fantasies about alien civilizations, as you requested...
but in the end, back on earth you'll be lobotomized!
So get a grip on yourself, Doug, and put down that gun!
Good. Now take the pill and put it in your mouth.
Swallow it!
Go ahead, sweetheart.
Now you've done it. Now you've done it!
That's for making me come to Mars.
You know how much I hate this fucking planet!
Cuff him.
-I got him. -Bring him down in the service elevator.
Let's go.
Fuck you!
Doug.
Honey...
you wouldn't hurt me, would you, sweetheart?
Sweetheart, be reasonable.
After all, we're married.
Consider that a divorce.
That was your wife?
What a bitch.
Hey, get out of the way!
I thought you didn't like me.
If Cohaagen wants you dead, you might be okay.
- Got it. - So you've come back to apologize.
Kuato wants to see you.
Come on.
- Now what? - Jump!
No! Don't do it! You'll crack the fucking dome!
What are you trying to do, kill us? The dome will crack!
Move!
Taxi!
Melina! Melina!
- Need a ride? - Last Resort.
You guys are going in circles.
Jesus!
Come on! You drive!
You guys are in trouble?
Go! Go!
- What are you trying to do to me? - Shut up and drive!
Hey, I got five kids to feed!
Shit!
No brakes!
You idiot!
What are you doing?
Christ! Now they're after me!
Give me that!
Get out of the way!
Tony!
Get out of the way! Come on!
Come on! Come on!
Thank you, Tony.
You wanna have some fun?
Where are they?
What are you talking about? I don't know.
Maybe you know.
Kill them all!
Thumbelina!
Richter!
- A call from Cohaagen! - Richter here.
- We've got them pinned down. - Stop fighting and pull out.
But they've got Quaid. They're protecting him.
Perfect. Get out of Sector G now.
Don't think.
- Do it! - Yes, sir.
Pull 'em out.
Everybody, pull out!
Move!
- Cohaagen's sealing off the area! - Come on, Benny!
The first settlers are buried here.
They worked themselves to death, but Cohaagen ended up with all the money.
He built cheap domes and watched the kids turn into freaks.
I saw them.
And if you want to breathe, you have to buy his air.
Maybe you can change all that.
Hey, I think my grandpa might be here.
So what can I do?
Kuato's gonna make you remember some things you knew when you were Hauser.
- Like what? - All sorts of things.
- Maybe you'll remember you loved me. - I don't need Kuato for that.
Since when?
Freeze!
Come on, Melina.
Kuato's waiting.
I didn't find Grandpa, but--
Oh, shit.
- Who's this? - He helped us get away.
Hey, don't worry about me, man. I'm on your side.
You're a mutant, huh?
All right, let's go.
- Have you tried ramming down the door? - You wait here. Follow me.
It won't do any good.
- Cohaagen depressurized the tunnels. - Then drill through to Section M.
We can't. We're running out of air.
We need help.
Sit tight. Melina just got here with Quaid.
I hope he was worth it.
So do l.
- I'm glad you made it. - You don't look glad.
Cohaagen sealed up Venusville. He shut off the air.
You must know something pretty important, Quaid.
He wants you.
If we don't hand you over, everybody in this sector will be dead by morning.
Then we don't have much choice.
We can't turn him in.
That's up to Kuato. Come with me, Quaid.
Sit down.
- Where's Kuato? - On his way.
You heard the rumors about the Pyramid Mine?
Yeah.
Cohaagen found something weird inside and it's got him scared shitless.
What? Aliens?
- You tell me. - I don't know.
Yes, you do. That's why we brought you here.
Cohaagen's big secret is buried in that black hole...
you call a brain.
And Kuato's gonna dig it out.
- You're Kuato, right? - Wrong.
Kuato's a mutant, so don't get upset when you see him.
What do you want, Mr. Quaid?
Same as you: to remember.
But why?
- To be myself again. - You are what you do.
A man is defined by his actions...
not his memory.
Please...
take my hands.
Now open your mind to me.
Please.
Open your mind.
We should blow the thing up before the rebels turn it on.
I say we throw the switch and see what happens.
- Don't be an idiot. - We can't risk it.
The chain reaction could spread to all the terbinium in the planet.
That means a meltdown, a meltdown on a planetary scale.
Don't you think whoever built this thing thought of that?
Who knows what the hell they thought? They weren't human.
Maybe it's a trap. Maybe they want a meltdown.
We don't even know if this piece of junk will work.
What is it? A million? Half a million?
- About half a million. - Half a million years old.
Let's make sure Kuato--
Wake up! Wake up! Come on, wake up!
They found us! Shit! Let's go!
Wake up! Snap out of it! Come on!
They found us!
- Everybody out! - Melina!
Get moving! Get out!
Get out!
Everybody out! Get out!
Get to the air lock! Follow me!
Benny, come on!
- Benny! - I'm coming!
Put these spacesuits on! We're going outside!
Benny, hurry.
Congratulations, Quaid.
You led us right to him.
How can you do this? You're a mutant.
I got four kids to feed.
So what happened to number five?
Shit, man. You got me.
I ain't even married.
Now put your fucking hands in the air!
Quaid.
Forget it, man. His fortunetelling days are over.
Start the reactor.
Free Mars.
Mr. Cohaagen would like to talk to you.
So this is the great man.
No wonder he kept out of sight.
Well, my boy...
you're a hero.
Fuck you.
Don't be modest. Kuato is dead.
The resistance is completely wiped out, and you were the key to the whole thing.
He's lying.
You two-faced bastard.
You can't blame him, angel. He's innocent.
You see, Quaid, none of my people could get close to Kuato.
Fucking mutants could always sniff us out.
So Hauser and I sat down and invented you, the perfect mole.
You know you're lying. Hauser turned against you.
That's what we wanted you to think.
The fact is, Hauser volunteered to become Doug Quaid.
It was the only way to fool the psychics.
Get your story straight.
This idiot has been trying to kill me ever since I went to Rekall.
You don't kill somebody you're trying to plant.
He wasn't in on it. You set him off by going to Rekall.
- So why am I still alive? - We gave you lots of help.
- Benny here. - My pleasure, man.
The guy with the suitcase, the mask, the money...
the message from Hauser, all of that was set up by us.
Sorry. Too perfect.
Perfect, my ass!
You pop your memory cap before we can activate you.
Richter goes hog-wild, screwing up everything I spent a year planning.
Frankly, I'm amazed it worked.
Well, Cohaagen...
I have to hand it to you. It's the best mind-fuck yet.
Well, don't take my word for it.
-Someone you trust wants to talk to you. -Who is it this time?
My mother?
Howdy, Quaid.
If you're listening to this, it means that Kuato is dead...
and you have led us to him.
I knew you wouldn't let me down.
Sorry for the shit I've put you through, but hey...
what are friends for?
I would like to wish you happiness and long life, old buddy...
but unfortunately, this is not gonna happen.
You see, it's my body you've got there and I want it back.
Sorry to be an lndian giver, but I was here first.
So adios, amigo.
And thanks for not getting yourself killed.
Hey, maybe we'll meet in our dreams.
You never know.
You bastards!
Let go of me!
- Ready? - Auto.
- Check. - Ready to go, sir.
Relax, Quaid.
- You'll like being Hauser. - The guy's a fucking asshole.
That's not true. He's one of my best friends.
Besides, he's got a big house and a Mercedes.
And you like Melina, right? You'll get to fuck her every night.
That's right. She's going to be Hauser's babe.
I'll bust his balls.
Uh-uh, princess.
We're having you fixed.
You're going to be respectful, compliant...
and appreciative, the way a woman should be.
Mr. Cohaagen, telephone.
Yes? What is it?
The oxygen level is bottoming out in Sector G.
What do you want me to do about it?
- Don't do anything. - But they won't last an hour, sir.
Fuck 'em.
It'll be a good lesson to the others.
You got what you want. Give these people air.
My friend, in five minutes you won't give a shit about the people.
Fire it up, Doc.
Excuse me, Doctor.
- Is he gonna remember any of this? - Not a thing.
Oh, really?
Quaid, I'm having a party tonight.
Why don't you and Melina drop by. Remind him, Doc.
- Sure. - See you at the party.
Keep still. Fighting just makes it hurt.
If you don't keep still, you'll end up psychotic.
Hey, don't!
Melina, hold on!
Are you all right? Are you still you?
I'm not sure, dear. What do you think?
Let's get the hell out of here.
You have to make a decision, sir.
Kill him.
It's about goddamn time.
- Where are you going? - To the reactor.
- What reactor? - The one in the mines. Come on!
People are dying, Quaid! Stop! We've got to get air!
The reactor makes air. That's Cohaagen's secret. Let's go.
Where's this reactor come from?
- Aliens built it. - Aliens?
- Are you sure about this? - It's just up ahead.
What the hell--
Quaid!
Hey, Quaid, you remember me?
Benny! Benny's the name!
Oh, that's good!
I'm gonna drill you, sucker!
I'm gonna grind you up!
I'm coming!
I'm coming for you, baby!
What the fuck is this?
Damn this piece of Martian junk!
Hey, Quaid, I'm gonna squash you!
Benny, here!
Where the fuck are you?
Screw you!
Quaid, get over here!
What is it?
There's an opening.
I knew it.
This whole thing is one big reactor made out of terbinium.
Cohaagen knows it makes air. The bastard won't turn it on.
Of course not.
If Mars had an atmosphere, he'd lose control.
See down there?
It's a glacier.
The whole core of Mars is ice.
The reactor melts it...
and it releases the oxygen.
Come on.
- Enough for everyone to breathe? - Sure.
Enough for the whole planet.
If we turn it on in time.
Come on. Come on!
Hold on.
Now!
Son of a bitch.
Go!
He's got a hologram!
You think this is the real Quaid? It is.
You're coming with me!
See you at the party, Richter.
Don't touch that!
Get away! Get back!
What are you afraid of?
- Turn it on. - Impossible!
Once the reaction starts, it'll spread to all the terbinium in the planet.
Mars will go into global meltdown.
That's why the aliens never turned it on.
And you expect me to believe you?
Who gives a shit what you believe? ln 30 seconds you'll be dead.
Then I'll blow this place up and be home in time for corn flakes.
I didn't want it to end this way.
I wanted Hauser back. But no.
You had to be Quaid!
- I am Quaid. - You're nothing!
You're nobody! You're a stupid dream.
Well, all dreams come to an end.
Melina, hold on!
Don't do it!
We'll all die!
Everybody will die!
Quaid!
I can't believe it. It's like a dream.
What's wrong?
I just had a terrible thought. What if this is a dream?
Well, then kiss me quick before you wake up.
