Psychiatrist Sam Foster Ewan McGregor and his girlfriend and former patient, art teacher Lila Naomi Watts are then introduced in a new scene. Sam discusses his patient, Henry, a college student and aspiring artist whom he describes as depressed and paranoid, with feelings of guilt and remorse over having set fire to his car at the beginning of the film. Henry mentions that he sometimes hears voices, and seems able to predict future events. Henry is also suspicious of Sam because he had suddenly been called to stand in for his ordinary psychiatrist, Beth Levy Janeane Garofalo. Henry has told Sam of his plans to kill himself that Saturday at midnight, which Sam finds very troubling. Lila, who has survived a past suicide attempt, offers to help to dissuade Henry from killing himself.Sam investigates Henrys circumstances in an effort to help. After repeatedly attempting to reach Dr. Levy, he comes to her apartment to find her disoriented and lethargic, mumbling incoherent phrases like I didnt touch him I know youre not supposed to move them, occasionally belittling Sam with a maudlin reference to an implied unresolved tension between the two, and the fact that shes aware that hes dating an expatient. Henry, who had earlier claimed to have killed both of his parents, has his account contradicted by Sam when he finds Henrys mother Kate Burton and her dog living in a bare house, confused about Sams identity she insists that he is Henry and refusing to respond to his questions. Henrys mother insists on feeding Sam, but when she opens the fridge it is completely empty. Her head starts bleeding and when Sam attempts to help her, her dog bites him. ........
