NOW THIS IS WHERE WE WORK WITH ALL OUR TEST SUBJECTS,
AS YOU CAN SEE, WE TEST THE ENTIRE RANGE OF EMOTIONS
FROM HAPPINESS TO SADNESS AND FEAR AND SO ON,
THAT'S ONE OF OUR NEWEST PATIENTS, JENNIFER,
POOR DEAR,
MOST KIDS WOULD BE LAUGHING,
JENNY, WE CALL HER,
SHE'S ALSO ONE OF OUR MOST SEVERE CASES,
HI, JENNY,
THAT'S A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF WHAT I'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT,
SHE HAS NO DESIRE TO PLAY WITH THE PUPPY,
TO CUDDLE WITH IT, ANYTHING ELSE,
JENNY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE
TO LAUGH OR CRY, BE HAPPY, SAD, AFRAID, ANGRY,
SHE DOESN'T EXPERIENCE ANY OF THE BASIC EMOTIONS,
EMOTIONS THAT THE REST OF US TAKE FOR GRANTED,
IT'S AMAZING THAT YOU WOULD
TALK THIS WAY IN FRONT OF HER,
THINK I'M INSENSITIVE? NO, NO,
NO, JENNY WAS BORN WITH THIS CONDITION,
ALEXITHYMIA,
PRIMARY ALEXITHYMIA,
CAUSED BY A GENETIC NEURO-PHYSIOLOGICAL DEFECT
WHICH MEANS SHE'S NEVER HAD ANY FEELINGS THAT CAN BE HURT,
IF YOU COULD GRAPH EMOTIONS
THE WAY YOU GRAPH A HEARTBEAT OR A BRAINWAVE,
MOST OF MY PATIENTS WOULD BE FLAT-LINING,
IF THEY DON'T FEEL ANYTHING,
HOW DO THEY SURVIVE IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD?
JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE VOID EMOTIONALLY
DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE VOID INTELLECTUALLY,
MOST OF THEM FAKE IT AS THEY GROW OLDER,
THEY SEE SOMEONE LAUGH, AND THEY LAUGH,
OR THEY FAKE A SMILE OR TWO, YES, COME IN,
I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT,
THERE'S SOMETHING ON TELEVISION YOU SHOULD SEE... EXCUSE ME,
YOU'RE SEEING LIVE PICTURES OF A HOSTAGE-TAKING
IN PROGRESS IN THE DOWNTOWN CORE,
WE GO ON THE SCENE TO ADRIAN WHEELER,
40 MINUTES AGO, TWO MEN APPARENTLY ROBBED THE STORE,
A SHOOT-OUT WITH POLICE OCCURRED
AS THE ROBBERS ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE,
ONE ROBBER IS DEAD,
THE OTHER SUSPECT IS HOLDING A HOSTAGE
IN THIS PARKING LOT BESIDE THE STORE,
THE HOSTAGE IS BETH,
A DETECTIVE IS ENTERING THE PARKING LOT,
HE'LL ATTEMPT TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE SUSPECT,
THE SUSPECT IS ARMED,
HE'S HOLDING A STORE EMPLOYEE,
A WOMAN, AS HOSTAGE,
ZOOM IN, JIMMY... WE HAVE A NAME NOW,
THE HOSTAGE IS ELIZABETH CARTER,
SHE LOOKS REMARKABLY CALM CONSIDERING THE SITUATION,
SHE'S ONE OF YOUR PATIENTS,
SHE'S COMPLETELY WITHOUT EMOTION,
MY GOD! NO,
IS THE HOSTAGE OKAY?
YES, SHE'S STANDING, BUT THE ROBBER IS DOWN,
ONCE AGAIN, THE HOSTAGE BETH CARTER IS UNHARMED,
AND SHE LOOKS SURPRISINGLY UNAFFECTED
BY WHAT SHE'S JUST BEEN THROUGH,
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR TELEVISION,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE PICTURE,
WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING THE TRANSMISSION,
WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL
AND THE VERTICAL,
WE CAN DELUGE YOU WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS
OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE TO CRYSTAL CLARITY
AND BEYOND,
WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION
TO ANYTHING OUR IMAGINATION CAN CONCEIVE,
FOR THE NEXT HOUR,
WE WILL CONTROL ALL THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR,
YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE THE AWE AND MYSTERY
WHICH REACHES FROM THE DEEPEST INNER MIND
TO THE OUTER LIMITS,
IT IS SAID THAT EMOTIONS ARE THE LANGUAGE OF THE SOUL,
BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THAT EXPRESSION IS MUTED?
WHAT BECOMES OF FEELINGS THAT HAVE NO VOICE?
HI, BETH, HOW ARE YOU?
FINE,
COME ON,
COME IN,
BETH IS HERE,
SURE, SEND HER IN,
BETH, HI, PLEASE SIT DOWN,
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
FINE,
WELL, THAT WAS
QUITE AN EXPERIENCE YOU WENT THROUGH,
EXPERIENCE?
YEAH, THE ARMED ROBBERY,
BEING HELD HOSTAGE,
THE POLICE SHOT THE MAN,
YES, I KNOW, YEAH,
DID YOU FEEL ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
THE MAN WHO HELD YOU HOSTAGE BEING KILLED?
NO,
THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT YOU IN,
BETH, I THINK IT'S POSSIBLE FOR YOU
TO TAKE A HUGE STEP FORWARD IN YOUR THERAPY,
IT WOULD REQUIRE THAT
YOU UNDERGO AN OPERATION
WHERE AN IMPLANT, A TINY DEVICE, DESIGNED TO STIMULATE
THE NEURO-TRANSMITTERS RESPONSIBLE FOR EMOTIONS
BE PLACED DIRECTLY INSIDE YOUR BRAIN,
EMOTIONS? YEAH,
YOU'D BE THE FIRST PERSON TO TRY IT,
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR A LONG TIME,
FOR ME?
YEAH, WELL, YOUR... DISORDER MAKES YOU A PERFECT TEST CASE
FOR THE IMPLANT,
IF WE'RE SUCCESSFUL, THIS COULD HELP
MANY OTHERS, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE,
THIS TECHNOLOGY CAN MAKE
ANTI-DEPRESSANTS, ANTI-PSYCHOTICS,
PROZAC EVEN, OBSOLETE,
THIS WOULD NOT ONLY CHANGE YOUR WORLD, BETH,
IT WOULD CHANGE THE WORLD,
OKAY, EVERYONE,
I'M CUTTING THROUGH THE DURA NOW,
HOW'S SHE DOING, BILL?
SHE LOOKS STABLE,
OKAY,
CLAMP, PLEASE,
YOU LOOK LIKE AN EXPECTANT FATHER,
WELL, IF THIS WORKS...
YOU'LL HAVE REINVENTED THE TREATMENT
OF MENTAL ILLNESS IN ONE FELL SWOOP,
HOPEFULLY SO,
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT, ISN'T IT?
HONESTLY, I WAS THINKING ABOUT BETH,
SOME SUCTION HERE, PLEASE,
WE CAN INTRODUCE TECHNICOLOR
INTO A WOMAN'S LIFE
WHO'S ONLY LIVED IN BLACK AND WHITE,
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ABOUT,
ISN'T IT?
OF COURSE,
AND THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS
IT WILL GENERATE
HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT,
WELL...
I'M INSERTING THE IMPLANT NOW,
FROM THE BEGINNING OF CIVILIZATION,
THE HUMAN RACE HAS CONTINUALLY SEARCHED
FOR BETTER WAYS TO UNDERSTAND THE MYSTERIES OF THE WEATHER,
SOME METHODS WERE MORE RELIABLE THAN OTHERS,
BUT NOW WE USE THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY
TO BRING YOU ACCURATE
AND UP-TO-THE-MINUTE WEATHER REPORTING,
ANY CHANGE?
NO,
DAMN!
WE CHECKED THE IMPLANT BEFORE LUNCH,
IT WAS WORKING BEAUTIFULLY,
YOU'D NEVER KNOW TO LOOK AT HER,
THE PREDICTIONS ARE BASED ON THE FACT
THAT THERE'S BEEN TWICE THE AMOUNT OF SNOW COVER,
LAST SPRING, THE FLOODING AFFECTED
A MASSIVE AREA IN THE SOUTH,
IS THAT SOMETHING WE'VE SEEN BEFORE?
IS THAT AN EXPRESSION?
THAT PROGRAM SHE'S WATCHING,
SHE WANTS TO CHANGE THE CHANNEL,
SHE'S BORED WITH IT, OR DISSATISFIED WITH IT,
OFFICIALS IN BOTH NORTH DAKOTA AND MINNESOTA
ARE ALSO PREDICTING MASSIVE FLOODING,
THE SHOW-PACK THERE
HAS BEEN RECORD-BREAKING THIS WINTER,
MANY AREAS HAVE SEEN
UP TO THREE TIMES MORE SNOW THAN USUAL,
MEANTIME, IN WESTERN ILLINOIS...
SHE DID IT! SHE DID IT!
LOOK AT HER!
SHE FELT A NEED,
SHE EXPRESSED A DESIRE,
SHE DID THAT ALL ON HER OWN,
THAT IMPLANT IS STARTING TO WORK,
YOU CAN'T BE THINKING OF GOING IN THERE,
NOW YOU KNOW THE RULES,
SMOKE BEFORE FIRE,
THAT MEANS YOU START,
YOU DIDN'T LIKE THAT, DID YOU?
GOOD FOR YOU,
AS YOU KNOW, A GOOD GOAT WILL DO THAT,
COME ON,
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IS THIS REALLY YOURS?
COME ON,
IT IS SO PRETTY,
ONE DAY YOU'LL HAVE A PLACE OF YOUR OWN TOO,
HEY, MULLIGAN,
- COME HERE, BOY, - YOU HAVE A CAT?
WANT TO PET HIM?
YEAH,
WOULD YOU LIKE TO HOLD HIM?
YEAH,
BETH, IT'S OKAY,
THERE'S SOME WORKMEN DOING RENOVATIONS UPSTAIRS,
THAT'S ALL IT IS, IT'S NOTHING,
I SHOULD HAVE WARNED YOU, I'M SORRY,
ACTUALLY SOME OF THEM ARE KIND OF CUTE, THE WORKMEN,
OKAY, MAYBE I'M MOVING A LITTLE FAST THERE, YEAH?
I THINK THE FIRST THING WE NEED TO DO...
WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING WITH THIS LOOK OF YOURS,
MY LOOK?
YEAH, YEAH, COME ON,
JOAN,
WOW,
I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN DO THIS,
SURE YOU CAN,
NOT LIKE THE FIRST DAY
AT A NEW JOB,
JUST PICKING UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF,
EVERYONE WILL WANT TO KNOW HOW I AM,
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M SCARED,
THAT'S GOOD,
THAT'S HOW IT SHOULD BE,
YOU LOOK GREAT,
THANK YOU...
FOR EVERYTHING,
SHE'LL DO FINE,
I DON'T KNOW,
WE KNEW THAT FEAR WOULD BE ONE OF
THE HARDEST EMOTIONS TO DEAL WITH,
SHE'S FINE,
SHE'S SHOWING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF COURAGE,
HEY LADY, YOU FORGOT TO PAY ME!
I'M SORRY,
I'VE NEVER BEEN EXCITED BEFORE,
SORRY!
HI,
HELLO,
JOAN!
JOAN?
NO JOAN,
JERKS,
MULLIGAN! HERE, KITTY, KITTY!
YOU HAD
A REAL SCARE THROWN INTO YOU,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I THINK SO,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE AFRAID OF HIM,
THAT'S A FACE ONLY A MOTHER
OR SOMEONE LIKE ME COULD LOVE,
BUT HE'S HARMLESS,
I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO HIM FOR 40 YEARS,
SORRY I SCARED YOU,
THE DOOR WAS AJAR,
I WANTED TO ENSURE
YOU WEREN'T GETTING ROBBED,
WE'RE YOUR NEW NEIGHBORS,
I'M DOLLY, AND THIS IS... MIKE KELLERMAN,
YES, YOU MUST BE JOAN'S NEW ROOMMATE,
I DON'T KNOW WHO'S PRETTIER, HER OR JOAN,
JOAN IS MUCH PRETTIER THAN I AM,
DON'T SELL YOURSELF SHORT,
YOU'RE NO SLOUCH IN LOOKS,
- BETH, WHAT HAPPENED? - NOTHING HAPPENED,
MIKE SAW YOUR FRONT DOOR WAS AJAR,
THOUGHT HE'D STICK HIS CONSIDERABLY LARGE NOSE
IN HERE TO INVESTIGATE,
SCARED HER A LITTLE, THAT'S ALL,
YOU LEFT THE DOOR OPEN?
I... I DON'T REMEMBER,
I JUST... VOICES,
WHAT VOICES?
BETH... WHAT VOICES?
IT WAS NOTHING,
YOU NEED TO BE A LITTLE MORE CAREFUL,
THIS IS A SAFE BUILDING,
BUT LEAVE THE DOOR LOCKED,
ESPECIALLY IF YOU'RE ALONE,
OKAY,
SO I SEE YOU'VE MET DOLLY AND MIKE,
YES, ACTUALLY THEY'VE BEEN VERY NICE TO ME,
THE RUMORS THAT WE'RE A COUPLE OF OLD OGRES
HAVE BEEN GREATLY EXAGGERATED,
BETH, YOU STILL LOOK WEAK,
I'LL CALL KEVIN AND CANCEL TONIGHT,
A FRIEND WHO LIVES DOWNSTAIRS, KEVIN?
IN 1A?
HE INVITED US TO DINNER ON HIS BOAT,
WE'LL TAKE A RAIN CHECK,
NO, I'D LIKE TO GO,
I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GO,
SO I WENT FROM HAMMERING NAILS FOR A LIVING
TO HIRING OTHER PEOPLE TO HAMMER NAILS
TO BUYING AND RENOVATING OLD APARTMENT BUILDINGS,
INCLUDING THE ONE WE LIVE IN,
YOU'RE A LANDLORD?
YOU SAY THAT WITH SUCH DISTASTE,
YOU DON'T LOOK LIKE A LANDLORD,
WHAT DO LANDLORDS LOOK LIKE?
LIKE MIKE KELLERMAN,
HE LOOKS LIKE A LANDLORD,
BETH BUMPED INTO MIKE TODAY,
I HOPE HE'S OKAY,
SO, WHO ARE YOU?
I'D LIKE TO KNOW,
I'VE BEEN RAMBLING ON AND ON ABOUT MYSELF,
TYPICAL, WATCH IT NOW,
BESIDES, YOU'VE BEEN HANGING ON EVERY WORD,
DREAM ON, BUDDY,
I LOVE YOUR TALKING,
THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST DINNER I'VE EVER HAD,
THE FOOD, THE CONVERSATION,
I USED TO PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS EAT ALONE,
THIS MAY NOT BE THE BEST MEAL I'VE EVER COOKED,
BUT...
I CAN'T REMEMBER
WHEN I'VE HAD TWO MORE CHARMING DINNER COMPANIONS,
JOAN!
JERKS,
JOAN, WHERE ARE YOU?
JOAN?
SHOOT,
JOAN?
STOP IT! JUST STOP IT!
I SCARED YOU,
I'M SORRY,
IT'S OKAY,
I HATE DOING LAUNDRY,
I DON'T MIND,
YOU STILL SEEM SORT OF JUMPY,
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
I THINK MY IMAGINATION IS PLAYING TRICKS ON ME,
MIKE ALWAYS ACCUSES ME OF THAT,
KNOW WHAT I TELL HIM?
YOU BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU WANT, BUT I'VE SEEN WHAT I'VE SEEN,
AND I KNOW WHAT I KNOW,
WHAT HAVE YOU SEEN?
WOULD YOU BELIEVE THE INSIDE OF AN ALIEN SPACESHIP?
YOU'VE HEARD ABOUT PEOPLE
BEING ABDUCTED BY ALIENS, HAVEN'T YOU?
WELL, OF COURSE YOU HAVE,
IT'S ALL OVER THE TV,
I THOUGHT ALL THAT STUFF WAS MADE UP,
THAT'S WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS YOU TO THINK,
BUT IT'S REALLY HAPPENING,
TAKE MY WORD FOR IT,
WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?
SAME ONES WHO ABDUCT
EVERYBODY ELSE,
GRAY ONES,
THEIR FACES LOOK DEAD,
EXCEPT FOR THEIR EYES,
AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY COULD SEE RIGHT INSIDE ME,
RIGHT INSIDE MY BRAIN,
WHAT DID THEY DO TO YOU?
ANYTHING THEY WANTED,
THEY HAD THIS SORT OF
LONG METAL PROBE THING,
WELL, I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO DETAILS,
BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH IMAGINATION,
IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,
THAT'S AWFUL, AWFUL,
YEAH,
STILL HAVE NIGHTMARES,
STILL HEAR THEIR VOICES,
VOICES?
YEAH, INSIDE MY BRAIN,
THIS CONSTANT CHATTERING
LIKE THEY WERE ALL TALKING AT ONCE,
BETH, THIS IS DR, MOLSTAD,
I'M TRYING TO REACH JOAN,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I NEED TO ASK JOAN SOMETHING,
SHE'S ALREADY LEFT,
I DON'T KNOW IF SHE WAS GOING STRAIGHT HOME,
BUT SHE'LL BE THERE SHORTLY,
I CAN'T HELP YOU?
NO, I MEAN, YES,
I'LL JUST WAIT TILL SHE GETS HOME, THANK YOU,
MULLIGAN!
YOU'RE NOT REAL,
I'M JUST HEARING THINGS,
THERE'S NOBODY HERE,
THERE'S NOBODY ELSE HERE,
I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU GET IN THE WAY OF MY NEW LIFE,
ESPECIALLY SOME STUPID MINDLESS CHATTERING
THAT DOESN'T REALLY EXIST! STOP!
BETH, WHAT'S WRONG?
BETH, WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT'S WRONG?
WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT'S WRONG?
IT'S OKAY,
SHE SAID SHE SAW MULLIGAN
RIGHT OUTSIDE THE FRONT DOOR DEAD,
SCARED ME HALF TO DEATH,
KEVIN CAME UP, DIDN'T SEE ANY SIGN OF THE CAT,
I'M SURE HE'S NOT DEAD,
HE COMES AND HE GOES,
HE'LL BE BACK,
I'M SURE HE WILL,
SHE SAID SOMETHING
WAS IN THE APARTMENT, NOT SOMEONE,
BUT SHE REFUSES TO SAY WHAT,
WHATEVER IT WAS
SCARED HER HALF TO DEATH,
IF THERE WAS SOMETHING,
DO YOU THINK SHE HALLUCINATED?
SHE SAID SHE HEARD VOICES,
BUT SHE DIDN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT,
YOU NEED ONE OF MY SUPER GOURMET HOME-COOKED MEALS
SERVED BY CANDLELIGHT,
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
WE'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO BETH ALONE,
SURE, NO PROBLEM,
THINK ABOUT WHAT I SAID,
TOMORROW NIGHT, I'LL COME UP HERE,
OKAY,
THANKS, KEV, FOR EVERYTHING,
I'LL BE DOWNSTAIRS IF YOU NEED ME,
BYE,
WELL, BETH, UM,
IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA
FOR YOU TO COME BACK
TO THE INSTITUTE FOR A FEW DAYS,
JUST FOR OBSERVATION,
IT'S POSSIBLE THE IMPLANT
IS GIVING YOU SIDE EFFECTS,
I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK,
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND,
I NEVER KNEW HOW AMAZING IT ALL WAS,
HOW ICE CREAM TASTES,
HOW FLOWERS SMELL,
HOW SOMEONE SMILES AT YOU
JUST BECAUSE... YEAH, BETH...
PEOPLE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THESE FEELINGS, FEELINGS,
FEELINGS... I THOUGHT THEY JUST SEEMED TO BE
SOMETHING THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD,
BUT NOW I KNOW,
I KNOW HOW PRECIOUS THEY ARE,
AND I NEVER WANT TO LOSE THEM EVER,
I'M NOT SUGGESTING THAT THE IMPLANT BE REMOVED,
I WON'T LET YOU,
IT'S MINE NOW, RIGHT?
IT'S IN MY HEAD,
I JUST NEED TO LEARN
HOW TO CONTROL MY IMAGINATION A BIT BETTER, THAT'S ALL,
WHAT WAS IT YOU THOUGHT YOU SAW?
NOTHING,
IT WAS NOTHING,
I JUST GOT FRIGHTENED,
IT'S OVER NOW,
IT'S OVER, I'M OKAY,
AND I'M NOT GOING TO GO BACK,
ALL RIGHT,
I WANT YOU TO STAY HERE TOMORROW,
KEEP AN EYE ON HER, SEE HOW SHE'S DOING,
ANOTHER INCIDENT, I WANT HER BACK IMMEDIATELY,
NO IFS, ANDS OR BUTS,
WOULD YOU LIKE SOME WINE?
PLEASE,
WHERE'S YOUR PARTNER IN CRIME?
SHE'S OUT WITH FRIENDS,
I COULD CALL HER, IF YOU LIKE,
NO, NO, THAT'S OKAY,
I WAS JUST CURIOUS,
I MADE ENOUGH FOR THREE,
JUST IN CASE,
YOU DON'T LIKE IT?
NO, IT'S FINE,
IT'S NOT BAD,
BETH... YOU DON'T THINK
THIS IS WHY I COOKED FOR YOU,
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO...
NO, NO, IT'S OKAY,
I'M SORRY,
NO, NO, IT'S OKAY,
I JUST DIDN'T WANT YOU TO THINK...
I MEAN, I DIDN'T EXPECT...
I'M SORRY,
CAN YOU TURN THE LIGHTS OFF?
SURE, NO PROBLEM,
THIS ONE TOO?
YEAH,
NO! STOP IT!
NO! NO!
STOP! NO! NO!
NO! NO!
NO! NO! NO! STOP! NO!
NO!
NO! NO!
NO! DON'T!
NO! NO!
NO!
BETH?
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
BETH?
BETH, LOOK AT ME,
LOOK AT ME,
IT'S ME, IT'S DR, MOLSTAD,
YOU MUST HOLD ON A WHILE LONGER,
WE MUST TAKE THE IMPLANT OUT,
UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M SAYING?
THE IMPLANT IS MALFUNCTIONING,
WE'RE TAKING IT OUT,
TAKE IT OUT?
IT'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY,
NO!
I'M SORRY...
THE NEUROSURGEON WILL BE AN HOUR,
DAMN IT, THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
I'M SORRY, I'M SO SORRY,
NO, I DON'T WANT AN OPERATION,
IT'S TOO DANGEROUS,
NO! NO! NO!
DR, MOLSTAD!
HE'S COMING RIGHT BACK,
OKAY, I'LL GO GET HIM,
I DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT OUT!
NO, I DON'T WANT TO!
SAM, THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH,
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME,
I NEED YOU AS FAST AS POSSIBLE,
IT CAN'T WAIT,
IT MUST COME OUT NOW,
SHE WANTS TO SEE YOU,
OKAY, PLEASE, YES, HOW LONG?
20 MINUTES, GREAT,
I'LL BE HERE WAITING,
YOU LEFT HER ALONE?
SHE GOT AGITATED,
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO,
COME ON UP,
MULLIGAN?
MULLIGAN... HOW'S THE BOY?
HEY, GET BACK HERE!
MULLIGAN!
COME HERE, BOY!
COME HERE, MULLIGAN,
HERE, BOY,
COME HERE, BOY,
THE HELL WITH YOU,
STAY IN HERE AND ROT FOR ALL I CARE,
HOW DID SHE ESCAPE?
WHO KNOWS? WHO CARES?
SHE'S COMING BACK HERE,
WHEN SHE DOES, I WANT HER TO SEE MULLIGAN ALIVE AND WELL,
DID YOU TELL DOLLY AND MIKE?
THEY KNOW TO KEEP IT UP,
THEY WANT MORE MONEY,
SURPRISE,
COME ON, UNLOCK THE DOOR,
YEAH, YEAH,
MULLIGAN!
HERE, KITTY, KITTY,
SHE MIGHT NOT EVEN COME BACK,
THAT IMPLANT MUST BE FRIED AFTER WHAT WE PUT HER THROUGH,
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SLEPT WITH HER, KEVIN,
SORRY, BABE,
I HAD TO OCCUPY HER UNTIL THE DRUGS KICKED IN,
SHE WAS OUT BEFORE WE FINISHED,
YEAH, RIGHT,
I'LL MISS THESE GUYS,
HOW MUCH DID THE CORPORATION SPEND ON 'EM?
HUNDRED GRAND, MAYBE MORE,
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY SPENT THAT MUCH,
WHEN MOLSTAD'S IMPLANT FAILS,
OUR COMPANY HAS THE MARKET CORNERED,
YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY WE'RE TALKING ABOUT?
MULLIGAN, WHERE ARE YOU?
COME ON,
COME ON, BOY,
HERE, KITTY, KITTY, KITTY,
MULLIGAN, COME ON OUT,
HERE HE IS,
VERY FUNNY,
THERE HE IS,
THERE HE IS, MULLIGAN,
WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN HERE, YOU CRAZY BOY?
COME ON,
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE,
MULLIGAN!
FORGET ABOUT THE STUPID CAT,
WE DID IT, WE'RE RICH,
LET'S CELEBRATE,
WE SHOULD GET DOWNSTAIRS,
QUIT WORRYING,
IF BETH DOES SHOW,
WE'LL WRAP HER UP AGAIN AND TAKE HER TO MOLSTAD,
HE'LL DIG THE IMPLANT OUT OF HER BRAIN
AND SLAP A LABEL ON IT... "DEFECTIVE,"
DR, HAWTHORNE, CALL ON LINE THREE,
DR, HAWTHORNE, LINE THREE,
WELL, THAT'S IT, THE RESULTS OF THE HEARING ARE IN,
BECAUSE OF THE UNUSUAL NATURE OF THE CASE,
AND BECAUSE YOU'VE REVERTED TO YOUR OLD SELF,
YOU CANNOT NOW UNDERSTAND
THE EMOTIONS BEHIND WHAT YOU DID,
YOU WON'T BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR THE DEATHS OF JOAN GARRISON AND KEVIN FLYNN,
THE KELLERMANS' CONFESSION HELPED,
THEY SAID THEY WERE ACTORS PLAYING ROLES,
OF COURSE WITH THAT SPACESHIP
AND THE ACCOUTREMENTS UP THERE IN THE APARTMENT,
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN PRETTY HARD TO DENY ANYWAY,
BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
I'M FINE,
IT DOESN'T BOTHER YOU
THAT IMPLANT IS IN YOUR BRAIN? NO,
WELL, IT'S HARMLESS,
IT'S BURNED ITSELF OUT,
ALL THE BEHAVIORAL TESTS CONFIRM THAT,
THERE WOULD BE NO POINT
IN DOING SURGERY TO REMOVE IT,
I'M SORRY THAT IT'S TURNED OUT THIS WAY...
FOR BOTH OF US,
DON'T WORRY, BABY, I'M HOME,
ERRANT COMPUTERS CAN BE REPROGRAMMED,
IMPERFECT MACHINES REDESIGNED,
BUT HUMAN BEINGS ARE ANOTHER MATTER.
