HE SAYS HE CAN MOVE HIS HEAD.
ITLL FALL OFF.
HOW COME
IT DIDNT FALL OFF?
HES BIDING
HIS TIME.
WHO?
JOHN DOE.
HE THREATENED
TO CUT YOUR HEAD OFF?
YES.
YOU LIE LIKE A DOG.
HE NEVER SAID "BOO"
TO YOU, PROPHET!
WHEN WAS
HIS LAST MEDICATION?
HE WONT TAKE IT.
HES AFRAID
TO SWALLOW.
THEN WELL
HAVE TO INJECT IT.
WHO IS IT?
WHO IS IT?
THIS IS SERGEANT STROUD.
HOLD THE LINE, PLEASE.
HELLO.
SERGEANT STROUD.
YES, THIS IS
DR. FARMER.
505 CORINTH WAY.
SOMEBODYS BREAKING
INTO MY HOUSE.
OK. NOW STAY CALM.
THERES A CAR
ON ITS WAY.
DR. FARMER.
ITS ALL RIGHT.
ITS NOT A PROWLER.
ITS A PATIENT OF MINE.
HE TOOK A PIECE OF JEWELRY
FROM MY NIGHTSTAND.
ITS A NECKLACE--HE SAW
ME WEARING IT TODAY.
EXCUSE ME.
IVE GOT TO CALL IN.
OK.
HELLO. 43.
HI, ITS GAIL.
A PATIENT OF MINE,
A SUICIDAL PATIENT,

THE LOCKED WARD TONIGHT.
AND I WANT TO KNOW
WHEN AND HOW.
HIS NAME IS
JOHN DOE 83.
JOHN DOE 83.
HOLD THE LINE.
THANK YOU.
HOW DID HE GET IN?
HE BROKE
A WINDOW.
UH-HUH.
YOU LIVE HERE ALONE?
DR. FARMER.
YES. WHAT HAPPENED?
I DONT KNOW, DOCTOR.
IF HE WALKED
OFF THE WARD,
HE WALKED
RIGHT BACK ON AGAIN.
HES IN THE DORM NOW.
SLEEPING.
ARE YOU SURE?
YES, DOCTOR,
IM SURE.
WELL, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT MAY NO HAVE BEEN HIM.
YOU WANT TO SHOW ME
WHICH WINDOW
HE BROKE?
YES. ITS IN
THE LIVING ROOM.
YOU SEE, DOCTOR,
WE CHECKED
THESE WINDOWS
FROM THE OUTSIDE.
YOU SURE IT WASN A BOTTLE IN THE STREET?
YES. I HEARD
A WINDOW BREAK.
WHERE WERE YOU?
IN BED.
SLEEPING.
NO.
YOURE POSITIVE?
YES. WHY?
ROY.
YO.
IS THA THE MISSING ITEM?
IT SEEMS TO ME, DOCTOR,
LIKE SOMEBODY
WAS DREAMING.
GOOD NIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU.
WHATS--WHATS
THAT LADY DOING SHE HERE?
WHAT LADY? WHERE?
THERE
IN THAT ROOM.
WHY, YOU DONT HAVE
TO SEE ANYBODY
YOU DONT WANT TO.
DO YOU WANT ME
TO TELL HER TO GO?
NO.
NO, ILL TELL HER.
WHATS THE MATTER,
BABY?
ARENT YOU HAPPY
TO SEE ME?
HOW DID YOU KNOW
I WAS HERE?
MERCIFUL GOD, YOU
HAVE TO ASK ME THAT?
YOU RAN AWAY
FROM ME, REMEMBER?
YES.
WELL, IVE COME
TO TAKE YOU HOME.
GAVE HIM ANOTHER SEDATIVE.
DO WE THINK WE
SHOULD SCHEDULE
HIM FOR SHOCK?
NO. WHY?
HES SEVERELY DEPRESSED--
PRACTICALLY CATATONIC.
HES AMNESIAC.
IM TRYING
TO LOOSEN HIS MEMORY,
NOT KNOCK IT OUT.
JUST GIVE ME
SOME MORE TIME
WITH HIM.
FOR WHAT, ANOTHER
SUICIDE ATTEMPT?
GAIL, I KNOW YOUR VIEWS
ON SHOCK THERAPY,
BUT IN EVERY OTHER
HOSPITAL I KNOW,
ELECTROSHOCK IS
THE TREATMENT OF CHOICE
FOR SUICIDAL
DEPRESSION. IT WORKS.
SO WOULD TORTURE.
THERES NO PAIN INVOLVED.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
HAVE YOU EVER
BEEN SHOCKED?
NO PATIENT HAS
EVER REPORTED PAIN.
YES, BECAUSE THEY
DONT REMEMBER IT.
THAT DOESNT MEAN
THEY DIDNT FEEL IT.
YOU SHOCK
A PATIENT,
YOU PUNISH HIM.
HE STOPS FEELING
GUILTY FOR A WHILE--
EXACTLY. AND
HE BECOMES ACCESSIBLE
TO PSYCHOTHERAPY.
HES ALREADY
ACCESSIBLE.
HES NOT GOING
TO KILL HIMSELF.
CAN YOU BE
SURE OF THAT?
SOME WOMAN CAME
TO SEE HIM TODAY.
THATS WHY
HES UPSET.
AND WHY ARE YOU
SO UPSET?
I AM NOT UPSET.
DR. FARMER, DID YOU WANT ME
TO GIVE THE MESSIAH
HIS INJECTION?
NO, ILL
TAKE CARE OF IT.
GAIL...
BUT WHAT IS I THATS BOTHERING YOU?
JUST TELL ME.
JUST, PLEASE,
GIVE ME SOME MORE TIME
WITH HIM BEFORE YOU STAR SCRAMBLING HIS BRAIN.
OH!
OHH! OH!
WHAT WERE YOU
LOOKING FOR?
THE THORAZINE.
HERES THE THORAZINE, ITS
RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE.
DOCTOR,
WHATS WRONG?
NURSE.
IM SORRY, DR. FARMER,
I DIDN'T MEAN TO SPOOK YOU.
IM HERE ABOU YOUR PATIENT,
THE ONE THATS
DRIVING YOU CRAZY.
MY NAME IS JEROLYN.
YES.
WHAT CAN I
DO FOR YOU?
TELL ME
YOU HAVENT YOU
BEEN SEEING THINGS?
OF COURSE, I DIDN LET IT THROW ME.
IVE BEEN
LIVING WITH I FOR 20 YEARS.
I GAVE HIM
PERFECT LOVE.
WHATEVER HE NEEDED,
I GAVE HIM.
ID BE WORKING
AT THE FACTORY,
ID RUSH HOME IF
HE WAS HUNGRY, OR...
HAVING A BAD DREAM.
ID KNOW ABOUT IT.
A MOTHER
ALWAYS KNOWS
HER--HER BABY
NEEDS SOMETHING.
HE TELLS HER.
THATS ALL HE IS.
HES A BABY
HES CRYING
FOR HIS MAMA.
NO MATTER WHERE
I AM, I...
I CAN ALWAYS
HEAR HIM CRYING.
THATS WHY YOURE HERE.
HE NEEDS ME.
HES LOS WITHOUT ME.
HES NEVER BEEN
AWAY FROM HOME.
IM ALL
HES EVER KNOWN.
IM A GOOD MOTHER.
I RAISED A POWERFUL,
GOOD SON.
YES, I KNOW.
WILL YOU TELL ME
HIS NAME?
YOURE
IN DANGEROUS WATER.
TAKE IT FROM ME.
I APPRECIATE
THE WARNING.
IF YOU DONT MIND,
ID LIKE SOMEONE ELSE
TO HEAR THIS.
DR. DENMANS
OFFICE.
YES, MARY, I NEED
TO SEE DR. DENMAN.
WOULD YOU ASK HIM
TO COME RIGHT AWAY?
IM SORRY, DR. FARMER.
HES ON THE TELEPHONE.
HE MAY BE A FEW MINUTES.
WELL,
WHEN HES FINISHED,
WOULD YOU TELL HIM
TO COME TO MY OFFICE?
TELL HIM JOHN DOES
MOTHER IS HERE.
THANK YOU.
THERE WAS
A WOMAN
IN MY OFFICE,
WHERED SHE GO?
IM SORRY, DOCTOR.
I DIDNT SEE.
EDDIE,
EDDIE, DID YOU SEE
A WOMAN GO BY HERE,
ABOUT 40, WITH A
DARK BLUE DRESS ON?
NO, DOCTOR, I
CANT SAY I DID.
JEROLYN!
IM SOME KIND
OF A RECEIVER FOR JOHN DOE.
HES SENDING ME
HIS DREAMS.
THIS TRUCK, DID
ANYONE ELSE SEE IT?
I THOUGHT I WAS
GOING CRAZY. I WASNT.
I WAS SEEING
WHAT HE WAS SEEING.
THATS HOW
HE COMMUNICATES.
THATS HOW HES ALWAYS
COMMUNICATED SINCE HE WAS BORN.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
BECAUSE HIS MOTHER
WAS HERE EARLIER.
SHE TOLD ME.
ITS BEEN OCCURRING
SINCE HE WAS A BABY.
ITS POSSIBLE,
I SUPPOSE,
IT COULD BE
SOME FORM
OF TELEPATHY.
THATS WHAT I THINK.
DO YOU THINK
JOHN DOE KNOWS
HE HAS THIS ABILITY?
OH, I DONT THINK
HE WANTS TO KNOW.
HE CANT CONTROL IT.
THATS WHY IT COMES OU IN HIS DREAMS.
DR. FARMER, YOU ASKED
TO SEE A BIBLE?
OH, YES, YES.
THANK YOU.
WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
IM LOOKING UP
THAT LICENSE PLATE NUMBER.
ITS LUKE1:31.
LUKE...
1:31.
"AND BEHOLD, THOU SHAL CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB
"AND BRING FORTH A SON,
"AND SHALT CALL
HIS NAME JESUS."
OH, MY GOD,
THAT CRAZY WOMAN.
THANK YOU.
DONT FORGE YOUR JACKET.
WHERE IS JOHN DOE?
HES IN THE DAY ROOM.
DOES IT REMIND YOU
OF HER?
WHATS 1963?
WHY WERE YOU
TRYING TO GET THERE?
I DONT KNOW WHA YOURE TALKING ABOUT.
LOOK AT THE TOP CARD.
WHAT FOR?
JUST LOOK AT IT.
DONT SHOW IT TO ME.
ITS A HEART.
AGAIN.
CLUB.
WRONG AGAIN.
KEEP GOING.
BLACK CARD.
RED CARD.
RED CARD.
BLACK CARD.
RED CARD.
BLACK.
BLACK.
RED.
O OUT OF 10.
YOU KNOW THE ODDS
AGAINST THAT?
ABOUT 1,000 TO 1.
THE SAME AS GETTING
10 OUT OF 10.
PEOPLE READ YOUR MIND.
THEY THINK
YOUR THOUGHTS.
THEY SEE YOUR DREAMS.
THEY FEEL YOUR PAIN.
YOU MAY NOT WAN TO ADMIT IT,
BUT THEY DO.
IM NOT TRYING
TO HURT YOU.
SEE, THATS
WHEN IT HAPPENS,
WHEN YOU FEEL
THREATENED OR UPSET.
BUT YOU CAN CONTROL IT. THATS WHA REALLY SCARES YOU.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
KEEP HER AWAY FROM ME.
YOURE CRAZY.
DEFINITELY SOME SOR OF TELEPATHY.
HOW ELSE WOULD YOU
EXPLAIN THE CARDS?
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED
THIS POSSIBILITY?
WHAT?
PATIENT COMES
INTO THE HOSPITAL,
DEPRESSED, SUICIDAL.
YOU FEEL SORRY FOR HIM,
YOU WANT TO MOTHER HIM.
IN YOUR EAGERNESS
TO EMPATHIZE,
YOU EVEN START SEEING
THINGS THROUGH HIS EYES.
AND THEN HIS REAL MOTHER
SHOWS UP.
YOU FEEL
THREATENED BY HER,
SHES A RIVAL FOR HIS LOVE.
YOU GET UPSET WITH HER,
WITH ME, WITH YOURSELF.
AND GO OUT WRECK
AND MY CAR?
IM NO THAT GUILTY.
NO.
GUILT WOULD BE NEUROTIC.
AND YOU THINK IM
JUST FLAT-OUT CRAZY?
HE SAYS, "IM
BACK IN ALFREDS BEARD."
GAIL, I WANT YOU
TO GO HOME.
I WANT YOU
TO GET SOME REST.
AND I WANT YOU TO STAY
AWAY FROM JOHN DOE 83.
AND THAT, IM AFRAID,
IS AN ORDER.
DR. FARMER?
NURSE!
TAKE HIM
TO ROOM "B".
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
WHAT WE SHOULD'VE
DONE IMMEDIATELY.
NO! I KNEW HE WAS
TRYING TO KILL HIMSELF.
HE SENT ME A WARNING.
LIE DOWN.
NOW, YOURE GOING TO
HAVE TO KEEP YOUR HAND STILL.
NOW, DONT BE
FRIGHTENED.
YOU WONT FEEL
ANY PAIN.
SOON AS I TURN
THAT MACHINE ON,
YOURE GOING TO FA
LL FAST ASLEEP, OK?
OK.
GOOD.
TAKE THESE TO
TREATMENT ROOM "A"
AND THEN
GIVE ME A CALL, OK?
RIGHT, DOCTOR.
GAIL, LISTEN,
I HAVE TO HAVE
A TALK WITH YOU.
BITE DOWN.
READY.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
IM FINE. I RAN
A RESEARCH STUDY.
INTERESTING MATERIAL
ON MOTHERS AND BABIES.
IT SEEMS AN INFAN CAN COMMUNICATE MENTALLY
WITH ITS MOTHER.
ITS CALLED SENDING.
RESEARCH SHOWS ITS
A TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION.
IT FINISHES WHEN
THE BABY'S ABOUT 7 MONTHS.
WEVE GOT THE FIRS ADULT CASE.
WE HAVE TO BE
VERY CAREFUL WITH HIM.
.
IM GOING HOME
HOW MUCH LONGER
WILL YOU NEED HIM?
WERE NEARLY THROUGH.
GOOD NIGHT,
JOSEPH.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
SEE YOU, GAIL.
HELLO.

ITS ABOUT MY BOY.
ARE YOU LISTENING?
YES, I AM.
I KNOW YOURE
REAL ENHANCED
WITH HIM,
AND I DON BLAME YOU,
BUT YOURE MAKING
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
HE--HE TRIED
TO KILL YOU ONCE.
ITLL GET WORSE,
BELIEVE ME.
I KNOW WHA IM TALKING ABOUT.
YES,
I KNOW YOU DO.
I'M TRYING
TO HELP YOU OUT,
BUT YOUVE GOT TO
DO WHAT I SAY.
YOUVE GO TO LET HIM GO.
YOU WANT ME
TO RELEASE HIM?
HE BELONGS
WITH HIS MOTHER.
THAT WAY
HELL BE SAFE,
AND SO WILL YOU.
OTHERWISE,
I PROMISE YOU
YOURE GOING TO CURSE
THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.
JEROLYN, I HAVE A PO OF WATER BOILING.
CAN I CALL YOU
RIGHT BACK?
CAN YOU GIVE ME
YOUR NUMBER,
TELL ME WHERE
I CAN REACH YOU
RIGHT NOW?
HELLO?
JEROLYN?

THATS IT. COME ON.
MOMMY.

I SAW YOU.
DO YOU THINK
YOU CAN YOU TALK ABOUT IT?
I SMELLED GAS.
HERE,
SIT DOWN.
WHAT ELSE?
DID YOU SEE THIS?
DO YOU RECOGNIZE IT?
IS IT YOUR NUMBER?
I DONT KNOW.
IF WE CALLED IT,
WOULD WE
GET YOUR MOTHER?
ARE YOU AFRAID
TO TALK TO HER?
YES.
WHY? WHAT DID
SHE DO TO YOU?
SHE, UH...
.
SHE LOCKED ME UP.
SHE WOULDNT LET ME GO
IN THE DREAM,
YOURE NOT LOCKED UP.
IN THE DREAM,
YOURE DEAD.
LOOK AT ME.
DID SHE TRY
TO KILL YOU
TO KEEP HER CHRIST-CHILD
FROM LEAVING?
IS THAT WHY
THE GAS WAS ON?
I DONT KNOW.
WHY DON'T YOU ASK HER?
BECAUSE I THINK
YOU SHOULD ASK HER.
MAMA?
IM SORRY. YOU HAVE
REACHED A NUMBER
THAT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED
OR IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.
IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE REACHED
HIS NUMBER IN ERROR,
PLEASE CHECK THE NUMBER,
OR TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN.
COME ON.
IM GOING TO GIVE YOU
SOMETHING TO HELP YOU SLEEP.
NO! NO,
I CANT SLEEP!
YOU HAVE TO.
YOU NEED IT.
THESE PILLS
ARE VERY STRONG.
YOU WONT DREAM.
NO! I DON WANT TO DIE!
YOURE NO GOING TO DIE.
ILL BE RIGHT THERE.
SWALLOW THAT.
HANG IN THERE,
BROTHER.
HERE.
ILL BE ON CALL
IF YOU NEED ME.
AND THEN
WHAT HAPPENED?
SHE TOLD ME
TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS
AND SHOOT UP THE HEAT,
SAY MY PRAYERS.
THATS THE LAST THING
I REMEMBER.
YOU DONT REMEMBER
LEAVING THE HOUSE?
NO.
OR WHERE IT IS
OR HOW TO REACH HER?
NO.
SHE HEARD ME CRYING.
SHE CAME.
GOD KNOWS WHERE FROM.
DONT WORRY.
WELL GET IT.
IM SCARED
TO EVEN CLOSE MY EYES.
IM SCARED
OF HURTING YOU AGAIN.
WHY CANT I CONTROL IT?
WHEN YOU
REMEMBER EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED,
YOU WILL
CONTROL IT.
I HOPE SHE
NEVER COMES BACK.
HOPE I GE SOME SLEEP TONIGHT.
YOURE SURE YOU DON WANT TO PLAY?
SAY, YOU OK, BROTHER?
HEY!
SAY, MY MAN?
SAY, YOU OK, BROTHER?
...RECENTLY ADMITTED
TO THEIR WARD
SUFFERING FROM AMNESIA.
IF YOU KNOW THIS FACE,
MAYBE YOU CAN HELP.
THERES NO IDENTIFICATION
ON HIM WHATSOEVER
AND CAN ONLY RECALL THE
FACT THAT HE LIVES ALONE
WITH HIS MOTHER.
ITS CRUCIAL THA THE HOSPITAL CONTACT HER.
THE HOSPITAL KNOWS THA THEY LIVE IN A HOUSE
OR A CABIN
NEAR A HIGHWAY.
THEY DONT KNOW THE NUMBER
OF THE HIGHWAY...
WHATS THE MATTER,
MAMAS BOY?
IF YOU KNOW THIS MAN...
OH, CHANGE IT. THE MAN
DONT WANT TO SEE THAT.
DO IT.
NO!
GIVE IT HERE.
ITS MINE.
GIVE IT TO ME!
GET YOUR HANDS
OFF IT!
STOP IT!
IF YOU KNOW THIS MAN
OR HIS MOTHER,
IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY HIM
OR HIS MOTHERS WHEREABOUTS,
IF YOU HAVE ANY
INFORMATION WHATSOEVER,
CALL OUR HOTLINE NUMBER...
YOU CANT CHANGE IT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY
INFORMATION WHATSOEVER,
CALL OUR HOTLINE NUMBER,
WHO WILL PUT YOU
IN TOUCH WITH THE HOSPITAL.
YOU CANT CHANGE IT.
IF YOU HAVE

RON.
RON.
JOHN DOE?
WHATS GOING ON HERE?
I DONT KNOW,
DR. ERSKINE.
OK.
ILL TAKE HIM BACK.
COME ON, JOHN.
HE DIDNT HAVE
A HEAD.
I SWEAR TO GOD.
HE HAD NO HEAD!
ITS ALL RIGHT.
ITS NOT YOUR FAULT.
ILL TAKE CARE OF IT.
YOU TAKE JOHN DOE
BACK TO HIS WARD. OK?
RON, CALL DR. WARREN
AND TELL HER
TO GET THE OPERATING
ROOM READY IMMEDIATELY.
YES, SIR.
AND LETS GE A STRETCHER HERE, OK?
RIGHT.
HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN
IN DREAMLESS SLEEP?
ABOUT 16 HOURS.
YOU CANT JUST KEEP
FEEDING HIM BARBITURATES.
HE WILL GO INTO A COMA.
PRECISELY.
BUT THE LONGER
WE KEEP HIM UNDER,
THE MORE LIKELY
HE IS TO HALLUCINATE
WHEN HE WAKES UP.
WELL, WHAT OPTIONS
DO YOU HAVE?
WE GO IN
WITH MICROELECTRODES.
WE STIMULATE HIS LIMBIC
SYSTEM POINT BY POINT.
AND HES AWAKE
THE WHOLE TIME?
FROM BEGINNING
TO END.
THEN YOURE FLYING BLIND.
YOULL HAVE TO KNOCK OU HIS WHOLE LIMBIC SYSTEM.
NO.
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP HIM
FROM DREAMING, YOU MOS CERTAINLY WILL.
I MEAN, IF THATS
WHAT YOURE AFTER.
EVERY TIME
HE HALLUCINATES,
WE ABLATE THAT AREA.
IN EFFECT,
FOR THE FIRST TIME,
WELL BE IDENTIFYING
THE REGIONS OF THE BRAIN
RESPONSIBLE
FOR TELEPATHY.
HOW ABOUT THE
KLEPTOMANIACS?
SORRY?
HOW DID YOU CURE
THE KLEPTOMANIACS,
DID YOU CHOP OFF
THEIR HANDS?
NO. JUST THEIR FINGERS.
DOCTOR DENMAN,
WERE GETTING
SOME BETA.
THIS BOY HASNT RAPED
OR MURDERED ANYBODY.
HE TRIED
TO MURDER YOU.
HE NEARLY KILLED
THE MESSIAH.
HES TOTALLY
WITHOUT CONTROL.
THEN BY ALL MEANS,
LETS CONTROL HIM.
DR. FARMER,
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT THIS PATIENT.
WHAT ABOU HIS FEELINGS?
OR WERENT YOU
GOING TO ASK HIM?
NO. I WAS GOING TO
LEAVE THAT UP TO YOU.
DR. DENMAN!
ALL RIGHT. INSIDE.
NURSE, COME WITH US.
TELL HER
TO LEAVE ME ALONE!
TELL HER TO QUIT IT!
LEAVE ME ALONE!
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
HOW DID YOU
GET IN HERE?
WHY COULDNT YOU
LET ME HAVE HIM?
BECAUSE YOU TRIED
TO KILL HIM,
DIDNT YOU?
I ONLY WANTED TO HELP.
THATS ALL I EVER WANTED.
WELL, YOU ARE
GOING TO HELP.
YOU WANTED HIM DEAD?
NOW YOURE GOING
TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
WHAT IS IT?
WHATS GOING ON?
SHERIFF PROUTY,
THIS IS DR. FARMER.
SHES BEEN WORKING
WITH THE BOY.
YOU BEEN
TRYING TO LOCATE
HIS MOTHER?
YES.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THEY FOUND HER.
WHERE?
IN A CABIN BY
POTTERS POND,
ABOUT FOUR MILES
NORTH OF HERE.
THATS IMPOSSIBLE.
I JUST SAW HER--
I JUST TALKED TO HER
IN MY--IN MY OFFICE.
I DONT KNOW WHO
YOUVE BEEN TALKING TO,
BUT IT CANT BE
HIS MOTHER.
DR. FARMER,
SHES DEAD.
SOME HIKERS FOUND HER.
THE GAS WAS
STILL ON IN THE CABIN.
THE WINDOWS WERE SEALED,
THE OUTLETS TAPED,
THE VENTS
STUFFED WITH TOWELS.
WE KNEW
IT WASNT A SUICIDE.
THERE WERE TWO SETS
OF PRINTS IN THE CABIN
AND THE ONES ON THE
GAS VALVE WERENT HERS.
THEN WE SAW
YOUR REPORT ON TV
ABOUT A RUNAWAY BOY.
THATS WHY
HE ESCAPED.
HE KILLED HER.
NO. SHE TOLD HIM
TO TURN ON THE GAS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE I KNOW.
BECAUSE I TALKED TO HER.
YOU COULDNT HAVE
TALKED TO HER.
SHES BEEN DEAD
AT LEAST FIVE DAYS.
SHE WAS DEAD
WHEN HE GOT HERE!
WHEN DOES
HE GO INTO SURGERY?
HES IN THERE NOW.
IM GOING TO HAVE
TO POST A MAN.
OK, SURE.
ILL TAKE YOU.
IS THIS THE WOMAN
WHOSE BODY YOU FOUND?
UH-HUH.
START BRINGING HIM UP.
ITS BEDTIME,
COME ON.
NO.
TAKE HIM DOWN
SLOWLY.
OK?
YEAH.
OK.
MAMA!
GET OUT OF HERE! QUICK!
GET OUT OF THERE!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
GET HIM OUT OF THERE!
!
HURRY, HURRY!
ITS GOING TO BLOW!
ITS GOING TO BLOW!
WHERE IS HE?
STOP!
NO!
GET OUT OF THERE!
SHES DEAD!
GIVE ME YOUR KEY!
NO!
SHES DEAD!
NO! NO, TAKE ME
WITH YOU! PLEASE!
NO! WAIT!
MAYBE I OUGH TO LEAVE NOW.
WHERE AM I GOING TO GO?
WHAT?
I SAID,"WHERE ARE YOU
GOING TO GO?"
THATS NO WHAT YOU SAID!
YES, IT IS.
COME TO ME.
PUT THE CANDLE DOWN.
IM SORRY.
I CANT HELP IT.
I KNOW. POOR BABY.
COME ON, LIE DOWN.
THATS BETTER.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
THERE YOU GO.
SHH.
NOW I LAY ME
DOWN TO SLEEP.
I PRAY THE LORD
MY SOUL TO KEEP.
IF I SHOULD DIE
BEFORE I WAKE...
I PRAY THE LORD
MY SOUL TO TAKE.
THATS A GOOD BOY.
WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOURE GOING?
YOURE TRYING TO RUN AWAY
FROM ME AGAIN.
SHES NOT REAL.
SHES DEAD.
SWEET JESUS,
WHEN ARE YOU EVER
GOING TO LEARN?
THERES NO PLACE
FOR YOU OUT THERE.
GO BACK TO SLEEP.
DIE.
NO!
I FELL ASLEEP.
WHEN I WOKE UP,
I COULD SMELL THE GAS.
SHE WAS DEAD.
I MADE IT OU OF THE HOUSE
AND HEADED DOWN
THE HIGHWAY.
I MUST HAVE PASSED OU BY THE LAKE.
WHEN I CAME TO,
I COULDN REMEMBER ANYTHING,
EXCEPT I WANTED
TO DIE
CAUSE SHE WANTED
ME DEAD.
AT THE SAME TIME,
I WANTED HELP.
AND I WAS--
AND I WAS AFRAID,
SO AS LONG AS
I COULD BLOT IT OUT,
AS LONG AS I DIDN REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED,
I DIDNT HAVE
TO FACE THE TRUTH.
SHE COULDNT HELP IT.
I HATE WHA SHE TRIED TO DO TO ME,
BUT SHE COULDN'T HELP IT.
SO HIS AMNESIA IS
COMPLETELY GONE.
ANY QUESTIONS?
WHAT YOU
GOING TO DO?
WHATS IT MATTER?
HES GETTING OUT, ISNT HE?
SO LONG, BROTHER.
SEE YOU WHEN
WEVE WON THE WAR.
COME ON, COME ON.
YOU, UH, YOU LOOK
AFTER YOURSELF NOW, OK?
GOOD-BYE.
OFF QUICKLY.
LETS SEE THAT AGAIN.
HES COMING DOWN NOW.
SORRY TO DISTURB
YOU, DR. DENMAN.
WEVE GOT AN ATTEMPTED
SUICIDE CASE IN ADMISSIONS.
I THINK DR. FARMER
SHOULD SEE HIM.
OK, THANKS.
DR. FARMER,
WILL YOU GO
TO EMERGENCY
RIGHT AWAY?
OK.
WILL YOU SHUT UP!
HELLO, RON.
HI.
THANK YOU.
DID THEY HAVE
TO RESUSCITATE HIM?
NO, HE WAS
CONSCIOUS.
WHEN DID IT HAPPEN?
AROUND LUNCH TIME.
WHO IS HE?

HES BIDING
HIS TIME.
WHO?
JOHN DOE.
HE THREATENED
TO CUT YOUR HEAD OFF?
YES.
YOU LIE LIKE A DOG.
HE NEVER SAID "BOO"
TO YOU, PROPHET!
WHEN WAS
HIS LAST MEDICATION?
HE WONT TAKE IT.
HES AFRAID
TO SWALLOW.
THEN WELL
HAVE TO INJECT IT.
WHO IS IT?
WHO IS IT?
THIS IS SERGEANT STROUD.
HOLD THE LINE, PLEASE.
HELLO.
SERGEANT STROUD.
YES, THIS IS
DR. FARMER.
505 CORINTH WAY.
SOMEBODYS BREAKING
INTO MY HOUSE.
OK. NOW STAY CALM.
THERES A CAR
ON ITS WAY.
DR. FARMER.
ITS ALL RIGHT.
ITS NOT A PROWLER.
ITS A PATIENT OF MINE.
HE TOOK A PIECE OF JEWELRY
FROM MY NIGHTSTAND.
ITS A NECKLACE--HE SAW
ME WEARING IT TODAY.
EXCUSE ME.
IVE GOT TO CALL IN.
OK.
HELLO. 43.
HI, ITS GAIL.
A PATIENT OF MINE,
A SUICIDAL PATIENT,
WALKED OFF
THE LOCKED WARD TONIGHT.
AND I WANT TO KNOW
WHEN AND HOW.
HIS NAME IS
JOHN DOE 83.
JOHN DOE 83.
HOLD THE LINE.
THANK YOU.
HOW DID HE GET IN?
HE BROKE
A WINDOW.
UH-HUH.
YOU LIVE HERE ALONE?
DR. FARMER.
YES. WHAT HAPPENED?
I DONT KNOW, DOCTOR.
IF HE WALKED
OFF THE WARD,
HE WALKED
RIGHT BACK ON AGAIN.
HES IN THE DORM NOW.
SLEEPING.
ARE YOU SURE?
YES, DOCTOR,
IM SURE.
WELL, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THAT MAY NO HAVE BEEN HIM.
YOU WANT TO SHOW ME
WHICH WINDOW
HE BROKE?
YES. ITS IN
THE LIVING ROOM.
YOU SEE, DOCTOR,
WE CHECKED
THESE WINDOWS
FROM THE OUTSIDE.
YOU SURE IT WASN A BOTTLE IN THE STREET?
YES. I HEARD
A WINDOW BREAK.
WHERE WERE YOU?
IN BED.
SLEEPING.
NO.
YOURE POSITIVE?
YES. WHY?
ROY.
YO.
IS THA THE MISSING ITEM?
IT SEEMS TO ME, DOCTOR,
LIKE SOMEBODY
WAS DREAMING.
GOOD NIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU.
WHATS--WHATS
THAT LADY DOING SHE HERE?
WHAT LADY? WHERE?
THERE
IN THAT ROOM.
WHY, YOU DONT HAVE
TO SEE ANYBODY
YOU DONT WANT TO.
DO YOU WANT ME
TO TELL HER TO GO?
NO.
NO, ILL TELL HER.
WHATS THE MATTER,
BABY?
ARENT YOU HAPPY
TO SEE ME?
HOW DID YOU KNOW
I WAS HERE?
MERCIFUL GOD, YOU
HAVE TO ASK ME THAT?
YOU RAN AWAY
FROM ME, REMEMBER?
YES.
WELL, IVE COME
TO TAKE YOU HOME.
GAVE HIM ANOTHER SEDATIVE.
DO WE THINK WE
SHOULD SCHEDULE
HIM FOR SHOCK?
NO. WHY?
HES SEVERELY DEPRESSED--
PRACTICALLY CATATONIC.
HES AMNESIAC.
IM TRYING
TO LOOSEN HIS MEMORY,
NOT KNOCK IT OUT.
JUST GIVE ME
SOME MORE TIME
WITH HIM.
FOR WHAT, ANOTHER
SUICIDE ATTEMPT?
GAIL, I KNOW YOUR VIEWS
ON SHOCK THERAPY,
BUT IN EVERY OTHER
HOSPITAL I KNOW,
ELECTROSHOCK IS
THE TREATMENT OF CHOICE
FOR SUICIDAL
DEPRESSION. IT WORKS.
SO WOULD TORTURE.
THERES NO PAIN INVOLVED.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
HAVE YOU EVER
BEEN SHOCKED?
NO PATIENT HAS
EVER REPORTED PAIN.
YES, BECAUSE THEY
DONT REMEMBER IT.
THAT DOESNT MEAN
THEY DIDNT FEEL IT.
YOU SHOCK
A PATIENT,
YOU PUNISH HIM.
HE STOPS FEELING
GUILTY FOR A WHILE--
EXACTLY. AND
HE BECOMES ACCESSIBLE
TO PSYCHOTHERAPY.
HES ALREADY
ACCESSIBLE.
HES NOT GOING
TO KILL HIMSELF.
CAN YOU BE
SURE OF THAT?
SOME WOMAN CAME
TO SEE HIM TODAY.
THATS WHY
HES UPSET.
AND WHY ARE YOU
SO UPSET?
I AM NOT UPSET.
DR. FARMER, DID YOU WANT ME
TO GIVE THE MESSIAH
HIS INJECTION?
NO, ILL
TAKE CARE OF IT.
GAIL...
BUT WHAT IS I THATS BOTHERING YOU?
JUST TELL ME.
JUST, PLEASE,
GIVE ME SOME MORE TIME
WITH HIM BEFORE YOU STAR SCRAMBLING HIS BRAIN.
OH!
OHH! OH!
WHAT WERE YOU
LOOKING FOR?
THE THORAZINE.
HERES THE THORAZINE, ITS
RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE.
DOCTOR,
WHATS WRONG?
NURSE.
IM SORRY, DR. FARMER,
I DIDN'T MEAN TO SPOOK YOU.
IM HERE ABOU YOUR PATIENT,
THE ONE THATS
DRIVING YOU CRAZY.
MY NAME IS JEROLYN.
YES.
WHAT CAN I
DO FOR YOU?
TELL ME
YOU HAVENT YOU
BEEN SEEING THINGS?
OF COURSE, I DIDN LET IT THROW ME.
IVE BEEN
LIVING WITH I FOR 20 YEARS.
I GAVE HIM
PERFECT LOVE.
WHATEVER HE NEEDED,
I GAVE HIM.
ID BE WORKING
AT THE FACTORY,
ID RUSH HOME IF
HE WAS HUNGRY, OR...
HAVING A BAD DREAM.
ID KNOW ABOUT IT.
A MOTHER
ALWAYS KNOWS
HER--HER BABY
NEEDS SOMETHING.
HE TELLS HER.
THATS ALL HE IS.
HES A BABY
HES CRYING
FOR HIS MAMA.
NO MATTER WHERE
I AM, I...
I CAN ALWAYS
HEAR HIM CRYING.
THATS WHY YOURE HERE.
HE NEEDS ME.
HES LOS WITHOUT ME.
HES NEVER BEEN
AWAY FROM HOME.
IM ALL
HES EVER KNOWN.
IM A GOOD MOTHER.
I RAISED A POWERFUL,
GOOD SON.
YES, I KNOW.
WILL YOU TELL ME
HIS NAME?
YOURE
IN DANGEROUS WATER.
TAKE IT FROM ME.
I APPRECIATE
THE WARNING.
IF YOU DONT MIND,
ID LIKE SOMEONE ELSE
TO HEAR THIS.
DR. DENMANS
OFFICE.
YES, MARY, I NEED
TO SEE DR. DENMAN.
WOULD YOU ASK HIM
TO COME RIGHT AWAY?
IM SORRY, DR. FARMER.
HES ON THE TELEPHONE.
HE MAY BE A FEW MINUTES.
WELL,
WHEN HES FINISHED,
WOULD YOU TELL HIM
TO COME TO MY OFFICE?
TELL HIM JOHN DOES
MOTHER IS HERE.
THANK YOU.
THERE WAS
A WOMAN
IN MY OFFICE,
WHERED SHE GO?
IM SORRY, DOCTOR.
I DIDNT SEE.
EDDIE,
EDDIE, DID YOU SEE
A WOMAN GO BY HERE,
ABOUT 40, WITH A
DARK BLUE DRESS ON?
NO, DOCTOR, I
CANT SAY I DID.
JEROLYN!
IM SOME KIND
OF A RECEIVER FOR JOHN DOE.
HES SENDING ME
HIS DREAMS.
THIS TRUCK, DID
ANYONE ELSE SEE IT?
I THOUGHT I WAS
GOING CRAZY. I WASNT.
I WAS SEEING
WHAT HE WAS SEEING.
THATS HOW
HE COMMUNICATES.
THATS HOW HES ALWAYS
COMMUNICATED SINCE HE WAS BORN.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
BECAUSE HIS MOTHER
WAS HERE EARLIER.
SHE TOLD ME.
ITS BEEN OCCURRING
SINCE HE WAS A BABY.
ITS POSSIBLE,
I SUPPOSE,
IT COULD BE
SOME FORM
OF TELEPATHY.
THATS WHAT I THINK.
DO YOU THINK
JOHN DOE KNOWS
HE HAS THIS ABILITY?
OH, I DONT THINK
HE WANTS TO KNOW.
HE CANT CONTROL IT.
THATS WHY IT COMES OU IN HIS DREAMS.
DR. FARMER, YOU ASKED
TO SEE A BIBLE?
OH, YES, YES.
THANK YOU.
WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?
IM LOOKING UP
THAT LICENSE PLATE NUMBER.
ITS LUKE1:31.
LUKE...
1:31.
"AND BEHOLD, THOU SHAL CONCEIVE IN THY WOMB
"AND BRING FORTH A SON,
"AND SHALT CALL
HIS NAME JESUS."
OH, MY GOD,
THAT CRAZY WOMAN.
THANK YOU.
DONT FORGE YOUR JACKET.
WHERE IS JOHN DOE?
HES IN THE DAY ROOM.
DOES IT REMIND YOU
OF HER?
WHATS 1963?
WHY WERE YOU
TRYING TO GET THERE?
I DONT KNOW WHA YOURE TALKING ABOUT.
LOOK AT THE TOP CARD.
WHAT FOR?
JUST LOOK AT IT.
DONT SHOW IT TO ME.
ITS A HEART.
AGAIN.
CLUB.
WRONG AGAIN.
KEEP GOING.
BLACK CARD.
RED CARD.
RED CARD.
BLACK CARD.
RED CARD.
BLACK.
BLACK.
RED.
O OUT OF 10.
YOU KNOW THE ODDS
AGAINST THAT?
ABOUT 1,000 TO 1.
THE SAME AS GETTING
10 OUT OF 10.
PEOPLE READ YOUR MIND.
THEY THINK
YOUR THOUGHTS.
THEY SEE YOUR DREAMS.
THEY FEEL YOUR PAIN.
YOU MAY NOT WAN TO ADMIT IT,
BUT THEY DO.
IM NOT TRYING
TO HURT YOU.
SEE, THATS
WHEN IT HAPPENS,
WHEN YOU FEEL
THREATENED OR UPSET.
BUT YOU CAN CONTROL IT. THATS WHA REALLY SCARES YOU.
LEAVE ME ALONE.
KEEP HER AWAY FROM ME.
YOURE CRAZY.
DEFINITELY SOME SOR OF TELEPATHY.
HOW ELSE WOULD YOU
EXPLAIN THE CARDS?
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED
THIS POSSIBILITY?
WHAT?
PATIENT COMES
INTO THE HOSPITAL,
DEPRESSED, SUICIDAL.
YOU FEEL SORRY FOR HIM,
YOU WANT TO MOTHER HIM.
IN YOUR EAGERNESS
TO EMPATHIZE,
YOU EVEN START SEEING
THINGS THROUGH HIS EYES.
AND THEN HIS REAL MOTHER
SHOWS UP.
YOU FEEL
THREATENED BY HER,
SHES A RIVAL FOR HIS LOVE.
YOU GET UPSET WITH HER,
WITH ME, WITH YOURSELF.
AND GO OUT WRECK
AND MY CAR?
IM NO THAT GUILTY.
NO.
GUILT WOULD BE NEUROTIC.
AND YOU THINK IM
JUST FLAT-OUT CRAZY?
HE SAYS, "IM
BACK IN ALFREDS BEARD."
GAIL, I WANT YOU
TO GO HOME.
I WANT YOU
TO GET SOME REST.
AND I WANT YOU TO STAY
AWAY FROM JOHN DOE 83.
AND THAT, IM AFRAID,
IS AN ORDER.
DR. FARMER?
NURSE!
TAKE HIM
TO ROOM "B".
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
WHAT WE SHOULD'VE
DONE IMMEDIATELY.
NO! I KNEW HE WAS
TRYING TO KILL HIMSELF.
HE SENT ME A WARNING.
LIE DOWN.
NOW, YOURE GOING TO
HAVE TO KEEP YOUR HAND STILL.
NOW, DONT BE
FRIGHTENED.
YOU WONT FEEL
ANY PAIN.
SOON AS I TURN
THAT MACHINE ON,
YOURE GOING TO FA
LL FAST ASLEEP, OK?
OK.
GOOD.
TAKE THESE TO
TREATMENT ROOM "A"
AND THEN
GIVE ME A CALL, OK?
RIGHT, DOCTOR.
GAIL, LISTEN,
I HAVE TO HAVE
A TALK WITH YOU.
BITE DOWN.
READY.
HOW DO YOU FEEL?
IM FINE. I RAN
A RESEARCH STUDY.
INTERESTING MATERIAL
ON MOTHERS AND BABIES.
IT SEEMS AN INFAN CAN COMMUNICATE MENTALLY
WITH ITS MOTHER.
ITS CALLED SENDING.
RESEARCH SHOWS ITS
A TWO-WAY COMMUNICATION.
IT FINISHES WHEN
THE BABY'S ABOUT 7 MONTHS.
WEVE GOT THE FIRS ADULT CASE.
WE HAVE TO BE
VERY CAREFUL WITH HIM.
.
IM GOING HOME
HOW MUCH LONGER
WILL YOU NEED HIM?
WERE NEARLY THROUGH.
GOOD NIGHT,
JOSEPH.
GOOD NIGHT.
GOOD NIGHT.
SEE YOU, GAIL.
HELLO.
DR. FARMER,

ITS ABOUT MY BOY.
ARE YOU LISTENING?
YES, I AM.
I KNOW YOURE
REAL ENHANCED
WITH HIM,
AND I DON BLAME YOU,
BUT YOURE MAKING
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.
HE--HE TRIED
TO KILL YOU ONCE.
ITLL GET WORSE,
BELIEVE ME.
I KNOW WHA IM TALKING ABOUT.
YES,
I KNOW YOU DO.
I'M TRYING
TO HELP YOU OUT,
BUT YOUVE GOT TO
DO WHAT I SAY.
YOUVE GO TO LET HIM GO.
YOU WANT ME
TO RELEASE HIM?
HE BELONGS
WITH HIS MOTHER.
THAT WAY
HELL BE SAFE,
AND SO WILL YOU.
OTHERWISE,
I PROMISE YOU
YOURE GOING TO CURSE
THE DAY YOU WERE BORN.
JEROLYN, I HAVE A PO OF WATER BOILING.
CAN I CALL YOU
RIGHT BACK?
CAN YOU GIVE ME
YOUR NUMBER,
TELL ME WHERE
I CAN REACH YOU
RIGHT NOW?
HELLO?
JEROLYN?
GREAT.

THATS IT. COME ON.
MOMMY.

I SAW YOU.
DO YOU THINK
YOU CAN YOU TALK ABOUT IT?
I SMELLED GAS.
HERE,
SIT DOWN.
WHAT ELSE?
DID YOU SEE THIS?
DO YOU RECOGNIZE IT?
IS IT YOUR NUMBER?
I DONT KNOW.
IF WE CALLED IT,
WOULD WE
GET YOUR MOTHER?
ARE YOU AFRAID
TO TALK TO HER?
YES.
WHY? WHAT DID
SHE DO TO YOU?
SHE, UH...
.
SHE LOCKED ME UP.
SHE WOULDNT LET ME GO
IN THE DREAM,
YOURE NOT LOCKED UP.
IN THE DREAM,
YOURE DEAD.
LOOK AT ME.
DID SHE TRY
TO KILL YOU
TO KEEP HER CHRIST-CHILD
FROM LEAVING?
IS THAT WHY
THE GAS WAS ON?
I DONT KNOW.
WHY DON'T YOU ASK HER?
BECAUSE I THINK
YOU SHOULD ASK HER.
MAMA?
IM SORRY. YOU HAVE
REACHED A NUMBER
THAT HAS BEEN DISCONNECTED
OR IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE.
IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE REACHED
HIS NUMBER IN ERROR,
PLEASE CHECK THE NUMBER,
OR TRY YOUR CALL AGAIN.
COME ON.
IM GOING TO GIVE YOU
SOMETHING TO HELP YOU SLEEP.
NO! NO,
I CANT SLEEP!
YOU HAVE TO.
YOU NEED IT.
THESE PILLS
ARE VERY STRONG.
YOU WONT DREAM.
NO! I DON WANT TO DIE!
YOURE NO GOING TO DIE.
ILL BE RIGHT THERE.
SWALLOW THAT.
HANG IN THERE,
BROTHER.
HERE.
ILL BE ON CALL
IF YOU NEED ME.
AND THEN
WHAT HAPPENED?
SHE TOLD ME
TO TURN OFF THE LIGHTS
AND SHOOT UP THE HEAT,
SAY MY PRAYERS.
THATS THE LAST THING
I REMEMBER.
YOU DONT REMEMBER
LEAVING THE HOUSE?
NO.
OR WHERE IT IS
OR HOW TO REACH HER?
NO.
SHE HEARD ME CRYING.
SHE CAME.
GOD KNOWS WHERE FROM.
DONT WORRY.
WELL GET IT.
IM SCARED
TO EVEN CLOSE MY EYES.
IM SCARED
OF HURTING YOU AGAIN.
WHY CANT I CONTROL IT?
WHEN YOU
REMEMBER EVERYTHING
THAT HAPPENED,
YOU WILL
CONTROL IT.
I HOPE SHE
NEVER COMES BACK.
HOPE I GE SOME SLEEP TONIGHT.
YOURE SURE YOU DON WANT TO PLAY?
SAY, YOU OK, BROTHER?
HEY!
SAY, MY MAN?
SAY, YOU OK, BROTHER?
...RECENTLY ADMITTED
TO THEIR WARD
SUFFERING FROM AMNESIA.
IF YOU KNOW THIS FACE,
MAYBE YOU CAN HELP.
THERES NO IDENTIFICATION
ON HIM WHATSOEVER
AND CAN ONLY RECALL THE
FACT THAT HE LIVES ALONE
WITH HIS MOTHER.
ITS CRUCIAL THA THE HOSPITAL CONTACT HER.
THE HOSPITAL KNOWS THA THEY LIVE IN A HOUSE
OR A CABIN
NEAR A HIGHWAY.
THEY DONT KNOW THE NUMBER
OF THE HIGHWAY...
WHATS THE MATTER,
MAMAS BOY?
IF YOU KNOW THIS MAN...
OH, CHANGE IT. THE MAN
DONT WANT TO SEE THAT.
DO IT.
NO!
GIVE IT HERE.
ITS MINE.
GIVE IT TO ME!
GET YOUR HANDS
OFF IT!
STOP IT!
IF YOU KNOW THIS MAN
OR HIS MOTHER,
IF YOU CAN IDENTIFY HIM
OR HIS MOTHERS WHEREABOUTS,
IF YOU HAVE ANY
INFORMATION WHATSOEVER,
CALL OUR HOTLINE NUMBER...
YOU CANT CHANGE IT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY
INFORMATION WHATSOEVER,
CALL OUR HOTLINE NUMBER,
WHO WILL PUT YOU
IN TOUCH WITH THE HOSPITAL.
YOU CANT CHANGE IT.
IF YOU HAVE

RON.
RON.
JOHN DOE?
WHATS GOING ON HERE?
I DONT KNOW,
DR. ERSKINE.
OK.
ILL TAKE HIM BACK.
COME ON, JOHN.
HE DIDNT HAVE
A HEAD.
I SWEAR TO GOD.
HE HAD NO HEAD!
ITS ALL RIGHT.
ITS NOT YOUR FAULT.
ILL TAKE CARE OF IT.
YOU TAKE JOHN DOE
BACK TO HIS WARD. OK?
RON, CALL DR. WARREN
AND TELL HER
TO GET THE OPERATING
ROOM READY IMMEDIATELY.
YES, SIR.
AND LETS GE A STRETCHER HERE, OK?
RIGHT.
HOW LONG HAS HE BEEN
IN DREAMLESS SLEEP?
ABOUT 16 HOURS.
YOU CANT JUST KEEP
FEEDING HIM BARBITURATES.
HE WILL GO INTO A COMA.
PRECISELY.
BUT THE LONGER
WE KEEP HIM UNDER,
THE MORE LIKELY
HE IS TO HALLUCINATE
WHEN HE WAKES UP.
WELL, WHAT OPTIONS
DO YOU HAVE?
WE GO IN
WITH MICROELECTRODES.
WE STIMULATE HIS LIMBIC
SYSTEM POINT BY POINT.
AND HES AWAKE
THE WHOLE TIME?
FROM BEGINNING
TO END.
THEN YOURE FLYING BLIND.
YOULL HAVE TO KNOCK OU HIS WHOLE LIMBIC SYSTEM.
NO.
IF YOU WANT TO KEEP HIM
FROM DREAMING, YOU MOS CERTAINLY WILL.
I MEAN, IF THATS
WHAT YOURE AFTER.
EVERY TIME
HE HALLUCINATES,
WE ABLATE THAT AREA.
IN EFFECT,
FOR THE FIRST TIME,
WELL BE IDENTIFYING
THE REGIONS OF THE BRAIN
RESPONSIBLE
FOR TELEPATHY.
HOW ABOUT THE
KLEPTOMANIACS?
SORRY?
HOW DID YOU CURE
THE KLEPTOMANIACS,
DID YOU CHOP OFF
THEIR HANDS?
NO. JUST THEIR FINGERS.
DOCTOR DENMAN,
WERE GETTING
SOME BETA.
THIS BOY HASNT RAPED
OR MURDERED ANYBODY.
HE TRIED
TO MURDER YOU.
HE NEARLY KILLED
THE MESSIAH.
HES TOTALLY
WITHOUT CONTROL.
THEN BY ALL MEANS,
LETS CONTROL HIM.
DR. FARMER,
I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
ABOUT THIS PATIENT.
WHAT ABOU HIS FEELINGS?
OR WERENT YOU
GOING TO ASK HIM?
NO. I WAS GOING TO
LEAVE THAT UP TO YOU.
DR. DENMAN!
ALL RIGHT. INSIDE.
NURSE, COME WITH US.
TELL HER
TO LEAVE ME ALONE!
TELL HER TO QUIT IT!
LEAVE ME ALONE!
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
HOW DID YOU
GET IN HERE?
WHY COULDNT YOU
LET ME HAVE HIM?
BECAUSE YOU TRIED
TO KILL HIM,
DIDNT YOU?
I ONLY WANTED TO HELP.
THATS ALL I EVER WANTED.
WELL, YOU ARE
GOING TO HELP.
YOU WANTED HIM DEAD?
NOW YOURE GOING
TO SAVE HIS LIFE.
WHAT IS IT?
WHATS GOING ON?
SHERIFF PROUTY,
THIS IS DR. FARMER.
SHES BEEN WORKING
WITH THE BOY.
YOU BEEN
TRYING TO LOCATE
HIS MOTHER?
YES.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THEY FOUND HER.
WHERE?
IN A CABIN BY
POTTERS POND,
ABOUT FOUR MILES
NORTH OF HERE.
THATS IMPOSSIBLE.
I JUST SAW HER--
I JUST TALKED TO HER
IN MY--IN MY OFFICE.
I DONT KNOW WHO
YOUVE BEEN TALKING TO,
BUT IT CANT BE
HIS MOTHER.
DR. FARMER,
SHES DEAD.
SOME HIKERS FOUND HER.
THE GAS WAS
STILL ON IN THE CABIN.
THE WINDOWS WERE SEALED,
THE OUTLETS TAPED,
THE VENTS
STUFFED WITH TOWELS.
WE KNEW
IT WASNT A SUICIDE.
THERE WERE TWO SETS
OF PRINTS IN THE CABIN
AND THE ONES ON THE
GAS VALVE WERENT HERS.
THEN WE SAW
YOUR REPORT ON TV
ABOUT A RUNAWAY BOY.
THATS WHY
HE ESCAPED.
HE KILLED HER.
NO. SHE TOLD HIM
TO TURN ON THE GAS.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
BECAUSE I KNOW.
BECAUSE I TALKED TO HER.
YOU COULDNT HAVE
TALKED TO HER.
SHES BEEN DEAD
AT LEAST FIVE DAYS.
SHE WAS DEAD
WHEN HE GOT HERE!
WHEN DOES
HE GO INTO SURGERY?
HES IN THERE NOW.
IM GOING TO HAVE
TO POST A MAN.
OK, SURE.
ILL TAKE YOU.
IS THIS THE WOMAN
WHOSE BODY YOU FOUND?
UH-HUH.
START BRINGING HIM UP.
ITS BEDTIME,
COME ON.
NO.
TAKE HIM DOWN
SLOWLY.
OK?
YEAH.
OK.
MAMA!
GET OUT OF HERE! QUICK!
GET OUT OF THERE!
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
GET HIM OUT OF THERE!
!
HURRY, HURRY!
ITS GOING TO BLOW!
ITS GOING TO BLOW!
WHERE IS HE?
STOP!
NO!
GET OUT OF THERE!
SHES DEAD!
GIVE ME YOUR KEY!
NO!
SHES DEAD!
NO! NO, TAKE ME
WITH YOU! PLEASE!
NO! WAIT!
MAYBE I OUGH TO LEAVE NOW.
WHERE AM I GOING TO GO?
WHAT?
I SAID,"WHERE ARE YOU
GOING TO GO?"
THATS NO WHAT YOU SAID!
YES, IT IS.
COME TO ME.
PUT THE CANDLE DOWN.
IM SORRY.
I CANT HELP IT.
I KNOW. POOR BABY.
COME ON, LIE DOWN.
THATS BETTER.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
THERE YOU GO.
SHH.
NOW I LAY ME
DOWN TO SLEEP.
I PRAY THE LORD
MY SOUL TO KEEP.
IF I SHOULD DIE
BEFORE I WAKE...
I PRAY THE LORD
MY SOUL TO TAKE.
THATS A GOOD BOY.
WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOURE GOING?
YOURE TRYING TO RUN AWAY
FROM ME AGAIN.
SHES NOT REAL.
SHES DEAD.
SWEET JESUS,
WHEN ARE YOU EVER
GOING TO LEARN?
THERES NO PLACE
FOR YOU OUT THERE.
GO BACK TO SLEEP.
DIE.
NO!
I FELL ASLEEP.
WHEN I WOKE UP,
I COULD SMELL THE GAS.
SHE WAS DEAD.
I MADE IT OU OF THE HOUSE
AND HEADED DOWN
THE HIGHWAY.
I MUST HAVE PASSED OU BY THE LAKE.
WHEN I CAME TO,
I COULDN REMEMBER ANYTHING,
EXCEPT I WANTED
TO DIE
CAUSE SHE WANTED
ME DEAD.
AT THE SAME TIME,
I WANTED HELP.
AND I WAS--
AND I WAS AFRAID,
SO AS LONG AS
I COULD BLOT IT OUT,
AS LONG AS I DIDN REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED,
I DIDNT HAVE
TO FACE THE TRUTH.
SHE COULDNT HELP IT.
I HATE WHA SHE TRIED TO DO TO ME,
BUT SHE COULDN'T HELP IT.
SO HIS AMNESIA IS
COMPLETELY GONE.
ANY QUESTIONS?
WHAT YOU
GOING TO DO?
WHATS IT MATTER?
HES GETTING OUT, ISNT HE?
SO LONG, BROTHER.
SEE YOU WHEN
WEVE WON THE WAR.
COME ON, COME ON.
YOU, UH, YOU LOOK
AFTER YOURSELF NOW, OK?
GOOD-BYE.
