The Incredible Hulk (1978) s02e22 Episode Script
The Quiet Room
Don't worry, David.
You're going to stay right here with us.
(GROWLING) What you've just seen is a part of my surgical procedures carried to the next logical step.
HILL: Behavioral control.
Now, listen to me.
I don't know what he's told you, but you gotta let me out of here.
No! No! Secure all exits.
Come, my friend.
Come! Escape! NARRATOR: Dr.
David Banner, physician, scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.
Then, an accidental overdose of gamma radiation alters his body chemistry.
And now, when David Banner grows angry or outraged, a startling metamorphosis occurs.
(ROARS) The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(ROARS) TOM: I couldn't believe it.
There I was, alone, with a whole box of matches, and I wasn't even tempted.
I mean, you know, it feels so good to finally have control over something that's been running my life.
You know what I mean? Well, I can imagine, yes.
You know, the judge said that it was arson, but I was a pyromaniac.
I really was.
Thank God for Dr.
Murrow.
WOMAN ON PA: Dr.
Snyder, contact electrotherapy.
Dr.
Snyder.
Well, I can take that now.
Well, good luck.
Thank you very much.
Hi, Mom.
Tommy! Oh, Tommy! Amazing, isn't it? The fact that he's leaving? According to his records, Tom Vincent is antisocial, extremely violent, quote, "incurable.
" He has been institutionalized since he was 11.
What kind of treatments did he have prior to the surgery? Psychiatric counseling, drug therapy, all of it unsuccessful.
Twenty years ago, he would have been a prime candidate for lobotomy.
That is right.
So who is more amazing? The patient that's cured or the doctor that cures? Hmm.
The phenomenal Dr.
Murrow has taken society's misfits and made them functional, nonviolent human beings.
Dr.
Hill, can I see you? Oh, of course, Dr.
Caldwell.
Excuse me.
Aren't you gonna miss your plane? I hope not.
This is one convention I can't afford to be late for.
You're afraid we'll all fall apart without our distinguished leader, who's going to Cincinnati? Not at all.
I just want to discuss Mr.
Rothman's treatment with you.
PATIENT 1: Get away.
I can't see the television.
PATIENT 2: Don't change the channel.
PATIENT 3: Don't change the channel.
WOMAN ON PA: Nurse Harris, call extension 2197.
PATIENT 1: Come on, move.
PATIENT 2: Move.
Come on.
PATIENT 3: Come on, now, I want to see that.
(GRUNTING) Well, how's Rothman doing? He seems more comfortable.
Dr.
Caldwell checked him just before he left.
Good.
(KATHY SCREAMING) PATIENT 1: Hey, come on.
(SCREAMING) PATIENT 2: Now go away.
Get moving.
ATTENDANT 1: Page the rest.
Let's go.
ATTENDANT 2: Got her.
Quick.
ATTENDANT 3: Come on.
Watch it.
All right, take it easy.
You know you're not supposed to be in here.
Come on.
PATIENT 1: Watch it.
PATIENT 2: She turned over that TV! Come on, give me the chair.
Take it easy, Kathy.
Nobody's gonna hurt you.
Kathy, come on, put it down.
(SCREAMING) It's okay.
It's okay.
Come on, give me the chair.
Kathy! Listen to me, Kathy.
Listen to me.
Now, Kathy, you have no reason to be so angry.
Now, you know me.
Dr.
Murrow? You're not afraid of me, are you, Kathy? Come on, Kathy, give me the chair.
Take it easy, Kathy.
Come on.
PATIENT 1: Turned over the TV, Doc.
PATIENT 2: Yeah, could not see it.
There you go.
PATIENT 3: Yeah, doesn't help the media.
PATIENT 2: Yeah.
There, there.
Take her back to the quiet room.
PATIENT 2: Bye-bye, honey.
PATIENT 3: We were watching a movie.
ATTENDANT: You'll see it again.
Dr.
Hill, I want to give her 10 more milligrams of chlorpromazine, and I want to be kept advised of her condition.
Yes, Doctor.
What happened here? How did she get out of the room, Sam? Houdini! PATIENT 4: Yeah.
Yeah, it was Houdini.
Who else is gonna let her out of the room? PATIENT 5: Sure.
MURROW: Mr.
Wilson, did you let Kathy out of her room? Yes.
You know, she was there for her own good.
You probably thought you were helping her, but you might have hurt her.
Now, I'm gonna have to restrict you to your room.
It doesn't matter, Doc.
I'll get out of there, too.
You better keep a closer watch on Mr.
Wilson.
All right.
Oh, and have someone send down the television from my quarters.
Okay, Doctor.
You know, you've just got to stop practicing your escapes on all these patients.
You're gonna get me in so much trouble, you know? Well, everything's all right now, folks.
How are you? Fine, Doctor.
Say, you did a good job.
Oh, thank you very much.
Some days are a little easier than others.
Yes, so I see.
Dr.
Murrow, do you mind if I ask about Kathy Allen? How long has she been having her attacks? She had the first one two years ago.
She hasn't spoken since she nearly killed her child.
But you're convinced that the attacks are more physiological than psychological? Yes, it is.
The physical abnormality of the amygdala is what causes the severe emotional reaction.
Hmm.
Most attendants don't take such a clinical interest in the patients.
Oh, well, you see, it's just that I feel if I'm gonna take proper care of the patient Oh, there's no need to apologize.
I'm grateful that you do care.
She's resting.
Say, you're not hurt, are you, Gene? No, sir.
Well, let me take a look at this.
Why don't you come into my office? (SIGHING) You know, I was very impressed with the results of Tom Vincent's operation.
When the scientific community finds out about Dr.
Murrow's new work, there won't be a criminally insane or violently uncontrollable person who won't be able to get help.
Hmm.
Dr.
Hill? I bought you a present.
(LAUGHING) Thank Thank you.
For your reports.
That's very nice.
Thanks.
See you later.
WOMAN ON PA: Dr.
Sperling, contact the operator.
Dr.
Sperling.
Yours? No, it's Sam's.
I'll see that he gets it.
Doctor, I'd like to thank you very much for upgrading my position here.
Oh, well, attendant suits you a lot better than custodian, don't you think? Anyway, anyone can tell you're too smart to push a broom.
Well, thank you.
Is Kathy Allen being prepped? They're moving her to OR now, Doctor.
MURROW: This procedure should restore the patient's ability to speak.
The affect on the amygdala will alter the behavior pattern to the exclusion of all uncontrollable violent behavior.
Now, please have several hemostats ready.
Let's be very careful.
We don't want a bleeder to damage the surrounding brain tissue.
Use 40 catgut here.
Then I'll close the scalp with fine silk.
Beautiful day.
You're gonna be taking a walk this afternoon, too.
So as soon as you've finished your food, you just ring the bell.
I'll come and take the tray.
Thank you.
You've been so kind.
Thank you.
MURROW: Very good, Kathy.
You're progressing nicely.
Mr.
Allen, hello, I'm David, and this must be, Miss Allen? Well, she takes after you.
You think so? Yes, I do.
Good.
It's nice to see the whole family going home together.
It's about time.
Yes, it is.
Thank you for everything you've done.
Oh, I can honestly say I'm very glad to see that you're leaving.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Let me take this down for you, okay? I'll meet you in front.
Okay, thanks.
Here you go.
Good.
So Kathy's left, huh? Oh, yeah, she just took off.
The old man's done it again, has he? Mmm-hmm.
Sam, could you spare me for a few minutes? Yeah, sure.
I'll be back.
WOMAN ON PA: Dr.
Johnson, report to surgery.
MURROW ON TV: Who's that sitting over there? It's Kathy.
Do you like her? A lot? Oh, she's okay.
Now, walk over to her.
On the table, there's a gun.
Pick it up.
Now, shoot her.
(GUN CLICKING) Very good, Tom.
Why did you do that? Because you told me to.
Very good.
You're coming along splendidly since your operation.
Come in, David.
David, my work will change the face of society.
Fewer criminals, fewer victims, less violence.
That's not my immediate concern, Doctor.
What I just saw on that tape wasn't dealing with less violence.
If that gun had been loaded, Kathy Allen would be dead.
But it wasn't loaded.
You see, David, it's important that I determine the extent to which normal behavior is altered by my procedures.
It was a simple test.
One that you've kept very secretive.
Doctor, I've read the patient consent forms.
Mind control is not part of the agreement.
My only obligation to the patients here is to return them to society as viable human beings.
You saw Mr.
Vincent.
You saw Mrs.
Allen.
As far as I'm concerned, my obligation has been fulfilled.
Nothing else concerns me.
Well, what about the possibility of your technique falling into irresponsible hands? (LAUGHING) David.
You are clearly an intelligent, capable man, yet I'm afraid there are aspects of my work that you could never hope to understand, but I'll try to put it simply.
Nobel created dynamite and gave it to the world, but could Nobel control what others would do with his discovery? Do you see what I'm saying, David? Yes, I think I do.
Nobel made a great deal of money.
Exactly, because science is a business.
Just like any other business, you've got to peddle your wares in order to keep working.
And to whom do you intend to peddle your wares? Do you see what I mean, Doctor? Yes, I see exactly what you mean.
I'd hoped you would cooperate with me, David.
However Gene, I need some assistance in my office.
There's a patient.
Hold on.
It's David Ballen.
Get him.
I said, get him.
Secure all exits.
There! There he is! Toward the gardener's shed.
Right there! That way! Gene, now, listen to me.
I don't know what he's told you, but you gotta let me out of here.
Well, let's go back and talk about it.
No, we gotta get to the police.
You gotta help me get to the police.
Just calm down, David.
Yes, but, I mean, he did seem nervous, quite tense, but I never imagined He came to me begging for help.
Something set him over the edge.
I blame myself for not recognizing the symptoms.
WOMAN ON PA: Dr.
Perea to prep room.
Dr.
Perea.
Well, can I see him? Of course.
He'll be suffering from paranoid delusions.
He thinks we're his enemy now.
WOMAN ON PA: Please report to Dr.
Laiman's office.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) David.
David.
Dr.
Hill.
Dr.
Hill, you've got to get the tape.
It explains everything.
David, take it easy.
Now, the tape is very important.
Now, listen to me.
MURROW: Where is that tape, David? Don't let him get it.
Don't let him get it.
It's got the entire experiment on it.
It explains everything.
Have you given him medication? Listen, I'm trying to make you understand.
I wanted your opinion.
I thought Amytal.
Three hundred and fifty milligrams, IM? Yeah, fine.
No! No No, Doctor.
No, you've got to stop him.
The experiment, the entire thing is on tape.
David, take it easy.
Doctor, if you look at the tape Do you understand? See what he did.
See what he did to Tom and to Kathy! You gotta stop that man! Maybe we'd better make that 400 milligrams, for his own good.
No! Doctor, listen I'll take care of it, Doctor.
Listen to me! Sam, will you help me? Listen to me, you'll understand if you see the tape.
You cannot allow him to continue, Doctor.
David, take it easy.
No! Doctor! Doctor, don't! (GRUNTING) Four hundred milligrams of Amytal, and you should stay with him till it takes effect.
(GROWLING) (ROARING) One, two, three, four, five Get out of here.
Must go down the stairs.
Down the stairs.
I said, get out of here.
Get out of here! (GLASS SHATTERING) (GROWLING) Get out of here! Go on! Get out of here! (ROARING) Stop! Hang on! Come on, get up! There he is! He could be headed for either gate.
You take the front gate.
I'll take the other one.
PATIENT 1: Where is he going? Where is he going? PATIENT 2: Wherever you're going, I'm going.
What did they do to him? They saw you there.
What are we going to do? Are you all right? Tired.
He's tired, yeah.
Hey, listen, come on, don't stop running.
No, we like you.
They'll come back.
They'll come and get us if we don't keep running.
Come on.
Come on.
What is that? Where's the other guy? Oh, wait a minute.
PATIENT 1: I've never seen anything like that.
PATIENT 1: I better get back.
PATIENT 2: Hey, you wouldn't have believed it, Doc! I mean, he just changed right in front of us.
Only 47 more steps, 47.
I don't know how you can hold yourself responsible for not noticing the symptoms of one employee.
I did some preliminary tests on David.
The limbic system is definitely affected, and as you can see, the cranial structure is typical of those patients who suffer from violent seizures.
Hmm.
The physical strength exhibited by these patients is phenomenal.
All of the patients insist that they saw this large green creature.
Hmm? And the wall? Well, that wall's been crumbling for years, and with the weight of twelve men against it, it's no wonder, and as for some giant creature, group hallucinations, which is not unusual under stressful situations.
I assured David that he wouldn't have to go to a state hospital.
Oh, no, there's no public or private facility that could offer better care.
I do think, though, Doctor, that surgery is his only hope.
Well, we'll have to postpone the other patients.
Oh, yes.
Because when David has another seizure, he could injure one of the staff or one of the patients or himself.
His symptoms are critical.
I don't see how we can wait.
(SIGHING) All right.
WOMAN ON PA: Visiting hours are over.
Please leave all parcels with reception.
(BEEPING) (SHUSHING) DAVID: (WHISPERING) What are you doing? (WHISPERING) The stairs.
We have to go down the stairs all the way to the basement.
ATTENDANT: I'll be right back.
Get down.
Get down.
WOMAN ON PA: Attendant to hydrotherapy.
(PHONE RINGING) Looks like he's gone.
David? Where's David? He's gone.
Hold on.
Stand up.
Wait there.
Wait there.
Stay there.
I have more ways of getting out of here than you can imagine.
This is a new homemade number.
It has to get used to the terrain.
I told you I could do it! Come on, David.
I told you I could do it! Come on.
You'll make it.
Come on.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
Come on, David.
Come on.
Come on.
You're all right.
David.
David.
David, you go ahead.
I can't go.
I've been out there.
I get lost.
Go ahead.
WOMAN ON PA: Duty attendant, please call security for main-gate clearance.
Who the hell are you? Please help me.
Are you a patient here? No.
No, you have to help me get out of here.
You out of your mind? I'm sorry.
You better get back to bed.
No, please, help me.
Please.
Help me get out of here, please.
Please, help me.
Okay, buddy.
You get back here.
Now, duck down real low and be quiet.
We gotta go back.
No.
No.
No.
Yeah, David.
Easy.
Easy.
Easy.
Come on.
Come on, David, please.
Come on.
No.
It's okay.
Come on, David.
Come on.
No.
No.
This Houdini Mr.
Wilson, he let him out.
Was David all right? Yeah, he's all right, but he's got enough drugs in him to tame King Kong.
I'm surprised he got as far as he did.
Dr.
Murrow is qualified to prescribe medication in appropriate amounts.
I'm sorry, Doctor.
Hello, David.
I understand you went for a little walk.
Dr.
Hill, listen to me.
That's what I'm here for.
Sam said that you were restless.
Dr.
Hill, the tape.
The one that you took from Dr.
Murrow's office? Yes.
Yes.
David, that was an important part of Dr.
Murrow's research.
They still haven't been able to find it.
Mind control Very dangerous.
You shouldn't have taken it.
Well, I'll let you sleep without restraints, and I'll cut back on the medication.
The tape.
Maybe tomorrow you'll be able to tell us where the tape is.
The tape, the tape.
FRANKIE: Come on, throw it.
HOUDINl: How's that? Catch it.
Come on.
Too high.
Look out! Frisbee.
Give it back.
(HOUDINI LAUGHING) No fair, Houdini.
No fair.
Frisbee! Frankie! Come on, Frisbee.
Hey, Frankie, what you got? Hey, what you got there, Frankie? Nothing.
Come on, let me see what you got.
Here, I got a piece of paper.
Come on.
Cigarettes.
Cigarettes, Frisbee.
Frisbee, cigarettes.
How much? How much? Come on, come on, what have you got? Sam? Yes? What is it? Well, I saw Frankie pick up something from the bushes, and I wanted to find out what it was.
Give it to me, Frankie.
I don't have anything.
Put it in my hand, Frankie.
Give it to me.
Come on, Frankie, give it to me.
I don't have anything.
Come here, Frankie.
Come here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What is it? Why, that's my tape.
MURROW ON TV: Now, walk over to her.
On the table, there's a gun.
Pick it up.
Now, shoot her.
(GUN CLICKING) Why did you do that? TOM: Because you told me to.
Very good.
You're coming along splendidly Do my methods offend you? No, I'm not offended, just confused.
That's understandable because this is a part of my procedure I've purposely kept away from you.
Why? Because I didn't want you to be involved in a part of my work that might be unattractive to you.
Well, I can't make a moral judgment about it until I know what I've seen.
What you've just seen is a part of my surgical procedures carried to the next logical step.
Total behavioral control? The potential for behavior control, yes.
(HESITATING) Tom Vincent? Kathy Allen? Yes.
I performed my procedures on four others before you arrived.
Gene and Mark were patients here before they became attendants.
I had no idea.
And they're not lobotomy patients but useful, healthy people, controllable when necessary but completely functional on their own.
I took nothing from Tom and Kathy.
On the contrary, I gave them back their lives.
(SIGHING) Sometimes, I think that we should keep our work theoretical until we have a say in how it is used.
Joyce, the men who split the atom also helped build the atom bomb.
Scientists who do not have that kind of commitment about their work, do not, in my opinion, deserve to be called scientists.
Are you almost done with your research? Yes, and I'll let my colleagues be the final judge, scientists such as yourself.
Do I have your support? (HESITATING) Yes.
Yes, you have my support and my help, if you want it.
Sam? Yes, David? Sam, call Dr.
Hill.
You've got to call Dr.
Hill.
I already did, David.
I called her.
She couldn't have told you to do this.
I've got to talk with her.
Sam, let me see him.
Dr.
Hill, did you see the tape? Then you know the truth.
Why are you doing this? Why are you Why are you doing this? Doctor, help me.
Here it is.
Valley View Police Department, may I help you? This is the Valley View Sanatorium.
We have an emergency here, and I want to know Help! Hello, this is Dr.
Murrow, Chief Resident at Valley View.
One of our patients got to the telephone.
I'm very sorry because I know how busy you are.
Yes, we sure are, but no problem.
Goodbye, Dr.
Murrow.
Thank you.
Well, I honestly thought you understood, Dr.
Hill.
No! No! HILL: Stop it! Let me go! (SCREAMING) Are all the patients in their rooms? Yes, sir, just like you told me.
Take her directly to OR.
(SCREAMING) HILL ON TV: No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Operator.
Operator, yes, this is an emergency.
Please get me the police right away.
No! This is the Valley View Police Department.
Yes All our lines are busy at this time.
Your call will be answered in order.
HILL ON TV: No! MURROW: All right, we'll be ready to start in just a minute.
This is the Valley View Police Department.
All our lines are busy at this time.
Your call will be answered in order.
Come on! Come on! MURROW: Gene, prepare the instruments.
This is the Valley View Police Department.
All our lines are busy at this time.
Your call will be answered in order.
Come on! Come on! Ready to spot the location of the first incision.
COREY: Hello, Valley View Police Department.
Hello? Hello? Are you there? Are you ill? What's wrong? Hello? Hello? Sergeant Corey here.
May I help you? Hello? (GROWLING) What was that? Hello? Would you please repeat Ready, Doctor.
(GROWLING) What's that? The light.
Distract it with the light.
(ROARING) Look out! (SCREAMING) (GROWLING) Come, my friend.
Come.
This way.
Dr.
Hill, are you all right? Come, come, this way.
Straight.
Let's go.
Dr.
Hill? Come! Come! This way.
You can escape! What's the matter, my friend? Why are you stopping? Why are you stopping? Sam? (ALL CHATTERING) Sam? Sam? Come on.
Come, my friend.
Come! Escape! PATIENT 1: Come on! You gotta climb the gate.
Yeah! Goodbye! Run! Faster! PATIENT 2: Come back! Come back! CALDWELL: What the hell's going on here? All right, that's enough, everybody.
Back.
Let's go.
Let's go.
ATTENDANT 1: Back to the bedrooms.
ATTENDANT 2: Back to your rooms.
The excitement is over.
PATIENT 3: Let's go back now.
Since you reversed Dr.
Murrow's procedure, I'm beginning to feel afraid again.
Does it happen all the time? No, and I don't get as angry as I used to, but sometimes it's hard to control myself.
Well, that kind of control isn't easy for any of us, but you're learning to do it for yourself, and that's what's important.
(KNOCKING AT DOOR) Yes? I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt the session.
Oh, no, no, session's over.
See you Wednesday, Kathy.
Okay.
Hello, David.
Hi, Kathy.
How are you? Better.
I'm glad.
WOMAN ON PA: Nurse Pearly, call extension 2780 Oh, I'm sorry that you're leaving.
We never did get to know each other.
There were a few distractions.
Yes, there were.
I gave my deposition to the District Attorney, and Dr.
Caldwell assures me he would have done the same.
You did the right thing.
Is Kathy gonna be all right? Well, it's harder to predict a cure with the more conventional therapies, but Dr.
Caldwell and I are very hopeful, and sometimes that hope is more important to the cure than any scientific theories.
Then let us hope.
Yes.
Goodbye.
Bye.
You're going to stay right here with us.
(GROWLING) What you've just seen is a part of my surgical procedures carried to the next logical step.
HILL: Behavioral control.
Now, listen to me.
I don't know what he's told you, but you gotta let me out of here.
No! No! Secure all exits.
Come, my friend.
Come! Escape! NARRATOR: Dr.
David Banner, physician, scientist.
Searching for a way to tap into the hidden strengths that all humans have.

(ROARS) The creature is driven by rage and pursued by an investigative reporter.
Mr.
McGee, don't make me angry.
You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
The creature is wanted for a murder he didn't commit.
David Banner is believed to be dead.
And he must let the world think that he is dead until he can find a way to control the raging spirit that dwells within him.
(ROARS) TOM: I couldn't believe it.
There I was, alone, with a whole box of matches, and I wasn't even tempted.
I mean, you know, it feels so good to finally have control over something that's been running my life.
You know what I mean? Well, I can imagine, yes.
You know, the judge said that it was arson, but I was a pyromaniac.
I really was.
Thank God for Dr.
Murrow.
WOMAN ON PA: Dr.
Snyder, contact electrotherapy.
Dr.
Snyder.
Well, I can take that now.
Well, good luck.
Thank you very much.
Hi, Mom.
Tommy! Oh, Tommy! Amazing, isn't it? The fact that he's leaving? According to his records, Tom Vincent is antisocial, extremely violent, quote, "incurable.
" He has been institutionalized since he was 11.
What kind of treatments did he have prior to the surgery? Psychiatric counseling, drug therapy, all of it unsuccessful.
Twenty years ago, he would have been a prime candidate for lobotomy.
That is right.
So who is more amazing? The patient that's cured or the doctor that cures? Hmm.
The phenomenal Dr.
Murrow has taken society's misfits and made them functional, nonviolent human beings.
Dr.
Hill, can I see you? Oh, of course, Dr.
Caldwell.
Excuse me.
Aren't you gonna miss your plane? I hope not.
This is one convention I can't afford to be late for.
You're afraid we'll all fall apart without our distinguished leader, who's going to Cincinnati? Not at all.
I just want to discuss Mr.
Rothman's treatment with you.
PATIENT 1: Get away.
I can't see the television.
PATIENT 2: Don't change the channel.
PATIENT 3: Don't change the channel.
WOMAN ON PA: Nurse Harris, call extension 2197.
PATIENT 1: Come on, move.
PATIENT 2: Move.
Come on.
PATIENT 3: Come on, now, I want to see that.
(GRUNTING) Well, how's Rothman doing? He seems more comfortable.
Dr.
Caldwell checked him just before he left.
Good.
(KATHY SCREAMING) PATIENT 1: Hey, come on.
(SCREAMING) PATIENT 2: Now go away.
Get moving.
ATTENDANT 1: Page the rest.
Let's go.
ATTENDANT 2: Got her.
Quick.
ATTENDANT 3: Come on.
Watch it.
All right, take it easy.
You know you're not supposed to be in here.
Come on.
PATIENT 1: Watch it.
PATIENT 2: She turned over that TV! Come on, give me the chair.
Take it easy, Kathy.
Nobody's gonna hurt you.
Kathy, come on, put it down.
(SCREAMING) It's okay.
It's okay.
Come on, give me the chair.
Kathy! Listen to me, Kathy.
Listen to me.
Now, Kathy, you have no reason to be so angry.
Now, you know me.
Dr.
Murrow? You're not afraid of me, are you, Kathy? Come on, Kathy, give me the chair.
Take it easy, Kathy.
Come on.
PATIENT 1: Turned over the TV, Doc.
PATIENT 2: Yeah, could not see it.
There you go.
PATIENT 3: Yeah, doesn't help the media.
PATIENT 2: Yeah.
There, there.
Take her back to the quiet room.
PATIENT 2: Bye-bye, honey.
PATIENT 3: We were watching a movie.
ATTENDANT: You'll see it again.
Dr.
Hill, I want to give her 10 more milligrams of chlorpromazine, and I want to be kept advised of her condition.
Yes, Doctor.
What happened here? How did she get out of the room, Sam? Houdini! PATIENT 4: Yeah.
Yeah, it was Houdini.
Who else is gonna let her out of the room? PATIENT 5: Sure.
MURROW: Mr.
Wilson, did you let Kathy out of her room? Yes.
You know, she was there for her own good.
You probably thought you were helping her, but you might have hurt her.
Now, I'm gonna have to restrict you to your room.
It doesn't matter, Doc.
I'll get out of there, too.
You better keep a closer watch on Mr.
Wilson.
All right.
Oh, and have someone send down the television from my quarters.
Okay, Doctor.
You know, you've just got to stop practicing your escapes on all these patients.
You're gonna get me in so much trouble, you know? Well, everything's all right now, folks.
How are you? Fine, Doctor.
Say, you did a good job.
Oh, thank you very much.
Some days are a little easier than others.
Yes, so I see.
Dr.
Murrow, do you mind if I ask about Kathy Allen? How long has she been having her attacks? She had the first one two years ago.
She hasn't spoken since she nearly killed her child.
But you're convinced that the attacks are more physiological than psychological? Yes, it is.
The physical abnormality of the amygdala is what causes the severe emotional reaction.
Hmm.
Most attendants don't take such a clinical interest in the patients.
Oh, well, you see, it's just that I feel if I'm gonna take proper care of the patient Oh, there's no need to apologize.
I'm grateful that you do care.
She's resting.
Say, you're not hurt, are you, Gene? No, sir.
Well, let me take a look at this.
Why don't you come into my office? (SIGHING) You know, I was very impressed with the results of Tom Vincent's operation.
When the scientific community finds out about Dr.
Murrow's new work, there won't be a criminally insane or violently uncontrollable person who won't be able to get help.
Hmm.
Dr.
Hill? I bought you a present.
(LAUGHING) Thank Thank you.
For your reports.
That's very nice.
Thanks.
See you later.
WOMAN ON PA: Dr.
Sperling, contact the operator.
Dr.
Sperling.
Yours? No, it's Sam's.
I'll see that he gets it.
Doctor, I'd like to thank you very much for upgrading my position here.
Oh, well, attendant suits you a lot better than custodian, don't you think? Anyway, anyone can tell you're too smart to push a broom.
Well, thank you.
Is Kathy Allen being prepped? They're moving her to OR now, Doctor.
MURROW: This procedure should restore the patient's ability to speak.
The affect on the amygdala will alter the behavior pattern to the exclusion of all uncontrollable violent behavior.
Now, please have several hemostats ready.
Let's be very careful.
We don't want a bleeder to damage the surrounding brain tissue.
Use 40 catgut here.
Then I'll close the scalp with fine silk.
Beautiful day.
You're gonna be taking a walk this afternoon, too.
So as soon as you've finished your food, you just ring the bell.
I'll come and take the tray.
Thank you.
You've been so kind.
Thank you.
MURROW: Very good, Kathy.
You're progressing nicely.
Mr.
Allen, hello, I'm David, and this must be, Miss Allen? Well, she takes after you.
You think so? Yes, I do.
Good.
It's nice to see the whole family going home together.
It's about time.
Yes, it is.
Thank you for everything you've done.
Oh, I can honestly say I'm very glad to see that you're leaving.
Thank you.
Yeah.
Let me take this down for you, okay? I'll meet you in front.
Okay, thanks.
Here you go.
Good.
So Kathy's left, huh? Oh, yeah, she just took off.
The old man's done it again, has he? Mmm-hmm.
Sam, could you spare me for a few minutes? Yeah, sure.
I'll be back.
WOMAN ON PA: Dr.
Johnson, report to surgery.
MURROW ON TV: Who's that sitting over there? It's Kathy.
Do you like her? A lot? Oh, she's okay.
Now, walk over to her.
On the table, there's a gun.
Pick it up.
Now, shoot her.
(GUN CLICKING) Very good, Tom.
Why did you do that? Because you told me to.
Very good.
You're coming along splendidly since your operation.
Come in, David.
David, my work will change the face of society.
Fewer criminals, fewer victims, less violence.
That's not my immediate concern, Doctor.
What I just saw on that tape wasn't dealing with less violence.
If that gun had been loaded, Kathy Allen would be dead.
But it wasn't loaded.
You see, David, it's important that I determine the extent to which normal behavior is altered by my procedures.
It was a simple test.
One that you've kept very secretive.
Doctor, I've read the patient consent forms.
Mind control is not part of the agreement.
My only obligation to the patients here is to return them to society as viable human beings.
You saw Mr.
Vincent.
You saw Mrs.
Allen.
As far as I'm concerned, my obligation has been fulfilled.
Nothing else concerns me.
Well, what about the possibility of your technique falling into irresponsible hands? (LAUGHING) David.
You are clearly an intelligent, capable man, yet I'm afraid there are aspects of my work that you could never hope to understand, but I'll try to put it simply.
Nobel created dynamite and gave it to the world, but could Nobel control what others would do with his discovery? Do you see what I'm saying, David? Yes, I think I do.
Nobel made a great deal of money.
Exactly, because science is a business.
Just like any other business, you've got to peddle your wares in order to keep working.
And to whom do you intend to peddle your wares? Do you see what I mean, Doctor? Yes, I see exactly what you mean.
I'd hoped you would cooperate with me, David.
However Gene, I need some assistance in my office.
There's a patient.
Hold on.
It's David Ballen.
Get him.
I said, get him.
Secure all exits.
There! There he is! Toward the gardener's shed.
Right there! That way! Gene, now, listen to me.
I don't know what he's told you, but you gotta let me out of here.
Well, let's go back and talk about it.
No, we gotta get to the police.
You gotta help me get to the police.
Just calm down, David.
Yes, but, I mean, he did seem nervous, quite tense, but I never imagined He came to me begging for help.
Something set him over the edge.
I blame myself for not recognizing the symptoms.
WOMAN ON PA: Dr.
Perea to prep room.
Dr.
Perea.
Well, can I see him? Of course.
He'll be suffering from paranoid delusions.
He thinks we're his enemy now.
WOMAN ON PA: Please report to Dr.
Laiman's office.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) David.
David.
Dr.
Hill.
Dr.
Hill, you've got to get the tape.
It explains everything.
David, take it easy.
Now, the tape is very important.
Now, listen to me.
MURROW: Where is that tape, David? Don't let him get it.
Don't let him get it.
It's got the entire experiment on it.
It explains everything.
Have you given him medication? Listen, I'm trying to make you understand.
I wanted your opinion.
I thought Amytal.
Three hundred and fifty milligrams, IM? Yeah, fine.
No! No No, Doctor.
No, you've got to stop him.
The experiment, the entire thing is on tape.
David, take it easy.
Doctor, if you look at the tape Do you understand? See what he did.
See what he did to Tom and to Kathy! You gotta stop that man! Maybe we'd better make that 400 milligrams, for his own good.
No! Doctor, listen I'll take care of it, Doctor.
Listen to me! Sam, will you help me? Listen to me, you'll understand if you see the tape.
You cannot allow him to continue, Doctor.
David, take it easy.
No! Doctor! Doctor, don't! (GRUNTING) Four hundred milligrams of Amytal, and you should stay with him till it takes effect.
(GROWLING) (ROARING) One, two, three, four, five Get out of here.
Must go down the stairs.
Down the stairs.
I said, get out of here.
Get out of here! (GLASS SHATTERING) (GROWLING) Get out of here! Go on! Get out of here! (ROARING) Stop! Hang on! Come on, get up! There he is! He could be headed for either gate.
You take the front gate.
I'll take the other one.
PATIENT 1: Where is he going? Where is he going? PATIENT 2: Wherever you're going, I'm going.
What did they do to him? They saw you there.
What are we going to do? Are you all right? Tired.
He's tired, yeah.
Hey, listen, come on, don't stop running.
No, we like you.
They'll come back.
They'll come and get us if we don't keep running.
Come on.
Come on.
What is that? Where's the other guy? Oh, wait a minute.
PATIENT 1: I've never seen anything like that.
PATIENT 1: I better get back.
PATIENT 2: Hey, you wouldn't have believed it, Doc! I mean, he just changed right in front of us.
Only 47 more steps, 47.
I don't know how you can hold yourself responsible for not noticing the symptoms of one employee.
I did some preliminary tests on David.
The limbic system is definitely affected, and as you can see, the cranial structure is typical of those patients who suffer from violent seizures.
Hmm.
The physical strength exhibited by these patients is phenomenal.
All of the patients insist that they saw this large green creature.
Hmm? And the wall? Well, that wall's been crumbling for years, and with the weight of twelve men against it, it's no wonder, and as for some giant creature, group hallucinations, which is not unusual under stressful situations.
I assured David that he wouldn't have to go to a state hospital.
Oh, no, there's no public or private facility that could offer better care.
I do think, though, Doctor, that surgery is his only hope.
Well, we'll have to postpone the other patients.
Oh, yes.
Because when David has another seizure, he could injure one of the staff or one of the patients or himself.
His symptoms are critical.
I don't see how we can wait.
(SIGHING) All right.
WOMAN ON PA: Visiting hours are over.
Please leave all parcels with reception.
(BEEPING) (SHUSHING) DAVID: (WHISPERING) What are you doing? (WHISPERING) The stairs.
We have to go down the stairs all the way to the basement.
ATTENDANT: I'll be right back.
Get down.
Get down.
WOMAN ON PA: Attendant to hydrotherapy.
(PHONE RINGING) Looks like he's gone.
David? Where's David? He's gone.
Hold on.
Stand up.
Wait there.
Wait there.
Stay there.
I have more ways of getting out of here than you can imagine.
This is a new homemade number.
It has to get used to the terrain.
I told you I could do it! Come on, David.
I told you I could do it! Come on.
You'll make it.
Come on.
I'm gonna get you out of here.
Come on, David.
Come on.
Come on.
You're all right.
David.
David.
David, you go ahead.
I can't go.
I've been out there.
I get lost.
Go ahead.
WOMAN ON PA: Duty attendant, please call security for main-gate clearance.
Who the hell are you? Please help me.
Are you a patient here? No.
No, you have to help me get out of here.
You out of your mind? I'm sorry.
You better get back to bed.
No, please, help me.
Please.
Help me get out of here, please.
Please, help me.
Okay, buddy.
You get back here.
Now, duck down real low and be quiet.
We gotta go back.
No.
No.
No.
Yeah, David.
Easy.
Easy.
Easy.
Come on.
Come on, David, please.
Come on.
No.
It's okay.
Come on, David.
Come on.
No.
No.
This Houdini Mr.
Wilson, he let him out.
Was David all right? Yeah, he's all right, but he's got enough drugs in him to tame King Kong.
I'm surprised he got as far as he did.
Dr.
Murrow is qualified to prescribe medication in appropriate amounts.
I'm sorry, Doctor.
Hello, David.
I understand you went for a little walk.
Dr.
Hill, listen to me.
That's what I'm here for.
Sam said that you were restless.
Dr.
Hill, the tape.
The one that you took from Dr.
Murrow's office? Yes.
Yes.
David, that was an important part of Dr.
Murrow's research.
They still haven't been able to find it.
Mind control Very dangerous.
You shouldn't have taken it.
Well, I'll let you sleep without restraints, and I'll cut back on the medication.
The tape.
Maybe tomorrow you'll be able to tell us where the tape is.
The tape, the tape.
FRANKIE: Come on, throw it.
HOUDINl: How's that? Catch it.
Come on.
Too high.
Look out! Frisbee.
Give it back.
(HOUDINI LAUGHING) No fair, Houdini.
No fair.
Frisbee! Frankie! Come on, Frisbee.
Hey, Frankie, what you got? Hey, what you got there, Frankie? Nothing.
Come on, let me see what you got.
Here, I got a piece of paper.
Come on.
Cigarettes.
Cigarettes, Frisbee.
Frisbee, cigarettes.
How much? How much? Come on, come on, what have you got? Sam? Yes? What is it? Well, I saw Frankie pick up something from the bushes, and I wanted to find out what it was.
Give it to me, Frankie.
I don't have anything.
Put it in my hand, Frankie.
Give it to me.
Come on, Frankie, give it to me.
I don't have anything.
Come here, Frankie.
Come here.
Thank you.
Thank you.
What is it? Why, that's my tape.
MURROW ON TV: Now, walk over to her.
On the table, there's a gun.
Pick it up.
Now, shoot her.
(GUN CLICKING) Why did you do that? TOM: Because you told me to.
Very good.
You're coming along splendidly Do my methods offend you? No, I'm not offended, just confused.
That's understandable because this is a part of my procedure I've purposely kept away from you.
Why? Because I didn't want you to be involved in a part of my work that might be unattractive to you.
Well, I can't make a moral judgment about it until I know what I've seen.
What you've just seen is a part of my surgical procedures carried to the next logical step.
Total behavioral control? The potential for behavior control, yes.
(HESITATING) Tom Vincent? Kathy Allen? Yes.
I performed my procedures on four others before you arrived.
Gene and Mark were patients here before they became attendants.
I had no idea.
And they're not lobotomy patients but useful, healthy people, controllable when necessary but completely functional on their own.
I took nothing from Tom and Kathy.
On the contrary, I gave them back their lives.
(SIGHING) Sometimes, I think that we should keep our work theoretical until we have a say in how it is used.
Joyce, the men who split the atom also helped build the atom bomb.
Scientists who do not have that kind of commitment about their work, do not, in my opinion, deserve to be called scientists.
Are you almost done with your research? Yes, and I'll let my colleagues be the final judge, scientists such as yourself.
Do I have your support? (HESITATING) Yes.
Yes, you have my support and my help, if you want it.
Sam? Yes, David? Sam, call Dr.
Hill.
You've got to call Dr.
Hill.
I already did, David.
I called her.
She couldn't have told you to do this.
I've got to talk with her.
Sam, let me see him.
Dr.
Hill, did you see the tape? Then you know the truth.
Why are you doing this? Why are you Why are you doing this? Doctor, help me.
Here it is.
Valley View Police Department, may I help you? This is the Valley View Sanatorium.
We have an emergency here, and I want to know Help! Hello, this is Dr.
Murrow, Chief Resident at Valley View.
One of our patients got to the telephone.
I'm very sorry because I know how busy you are.
Yes, we sure are, but no problem.
Goodbye, Dr.
Murrow.
Thank you.
Well, I honestly thought you understood, Dr.
Hill.
No! No! HILL: Stop it! Let me go! (SCREAMING) Are all the patients in their rooms? Yes, sir, just like you told me.
Take her directly to OR.
(SCREAMING) HILL ON TV: No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Operator.
Operator, yes, this is an emergency.
Please get me the police right away.
No! This is the Valley View Police Department.
Yes All our lines are busy at this time.
Your call will be answered in order.
HILL ON TV: No! MURROW: All right, we'll be ready to start in just a minute.
This is the Valley View Police Department.
All our lines are busy at this time.
Your call will be answered in order.
Come on! Come on! MURROW: Gene, prepare the instruments.
This is the Valley View Police Department.
All our lines are busy at this time.
Your call will be answered in order.
Come on! Come on! Ready to spot the location of the first incision.
COREY: Hello, Valley View Police Department.
Hello? Hello? Are you there? Are you ill? What's wrong? Hello? Hello? Sergeant Corey here.
May I help you? Hello? (GROWLING) What was that? Hello? Would you please repeat Ready, Doctor.
(GROWLING) What's that? The light.
Distract it with the light.
(ROARING) Look out! (SCREAMING) (GROWLING) Come, my friend.
Come.
This way.
Dr.
Hill, are you all right? Come, come, this way.
Straight.
Let's go.
Dr.
Hill? Come! Come! This way.
You can escape! What's the matter, my friend? Why are you stopping? Why are you stopping? Sam? (ALL CHATTERING) Sam? Sam? Come on.
Come, my friend.
Come! Escape! PATIENT 1: Come on! You gotta climb the gate.
Yeah! Goodbye! Run! Faster! PATIENT 2: Come back! Come back! CALDWELL: What the hell's going on here? All right, that's enough, everybody.
Back.
Let's go.
Let's go.
ATTENDANT 1: Back to the bedrooms.
ATTENDANT 2: Back to your rooms.
The excitement is over.
PATIENT 3: Let's go back now.
Since you reversed Dr.
Murrow's procedure, I'm beginning to feel afraid again.
Does it happen all the time? No, and I don't get as angry as I used to, but sometimes it's hard to control myself.
Well, that kind of control isn't easy for any of us, but you're learning to do it for yourself, and that's what's important.
(KNOCKING AT DOOR) Yes? I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to interrupt the session.
Oh, no, no, session's over.
See you Wednesday, Kathy.
Okay.
Hello, David.
Hi, Kathy.
How are you? Better.
I'm glad.
WOMAN ON PA: Nurse Pearly, call extension 2780 Oh, I'm sorry that you're leaving.
We never did get to know each other.
There were a few distractions.
Yes, there were.
I gave my deposition to the District Attorney, and Dr.
Caldwell assures me he would have done the same.
You did the right thing.
Is Kathy gonna be all right? Well, it's harder to predict a cure with the more conventional therapies, but Dr.
Caldwell and I are very hopeful, and sometimes that hope is more important to the cure than any scientific theories.
Then let us hope.
Yes.
Goodbye.
Bye.
