The Outer Limits (1995) s03e18 Episode Script
A Special Edition
1 IT'S NOT MUCH OF A HIDE-OUT.
BUT A CHARMING PLACE TO SPEND THE NIGHT.
HE'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT HIM.
I LIKE I WHEN THEY DO.
( mumbling ) ONE OF THOSE GUYS.
A COUPLE OF FREAKS! SHOW TIME.
LET'S GET HIM.
HEY, I'M SORRY, MAN.
THIS AIN'T MY CAR.
THIS GUY GAVE ME ALL THIS STUFF.
WHERE TO, CHIEF? YOU CAN HAVE IT, IF YOU WANT.
HE TOLD ME OH, MY GOD.
( phone ringing ) ( Control Voice ) THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR TELEVISION.
DO NOT ATTEMP 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 THA YOU SEE AND HEAR.
( ) YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE THE AWE AND MYSTERY WHICH REACHES FROM THE DEEPEST INNER MIND TO THE OUTER LIMITS.
SOMETIMES, TO UNCOVER THA WHICH IS HIDDEN, WE MUST FIRST BE MADE TO LOOK.
HEY, WE WERE GETTING A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
I WOULDN' MISS THIS ONE.
WE'VE GO A SHOW TO DO.
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? I HAD TO GIVE A COUPLE OF ARDENT FANS THE SLIP.
THAT'S COMFORTING.
WELL, I'M HERE.
DID EVERYBODY MAKE IT? YES, BARELY.
THAT'S GOOD.
LOCK IT UP REAL TIGHT TODAY.
I DON'T WANT ANYBODY IN OR OUT OF THE STUDIO.
EVERBODY! FOCUS! THIS IS THE BIG ONE.
SANDRA, YOU'RE LOSING YOUR EDGE.
I'VE BEEN HERE A MINUTE, AND YOU HAVEN' ASKED ME FOR THE SCRIPT.
I'M DON'T CARE.
I'M BEHIND THE CAMERA.
GET THIS ON THE TELEPROMPTER ASAP.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO RERUN YOUR EXPOSE ON THE HARTFORD RIVER NUCLEAR FACILITY.
YOU JUS SAY THE WORD.
THERE'S A REASON PEOPLE DON'T DO LIVE TV ANY MORE.
WE USED TO DO IT.
YEAH, FOR CABLE ACCESS IN DES MOINES.
LIFE WAS SIMPLE THEN.
YOU THINK THE JOB'S STILL OPEN? SANDRA, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE HISTORY HERE.
PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS.
AND WE NEED THEM TO WATCH.
THEY WILL.
GOOD SHOW.
WHO'S GOT CLOSED CIRCUIT TODAY? I'LL CHECK OU THE REMOTE BEFORE WE LOCK IT UP.
BRING IT UP THEN AND, COLIN, COULD YOU PIPE ME INTO INTERVIEW 'A' AND MAKE THAT PRIVATE? YOU GOT IT.
CLOSE-UP WOULD BE NICE, THANK YOU.
HELLO? MY FRIEND, ARE YOU THERE? CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, DONALD.
GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING? FINE.
THAT BAD, HUH? I DON'T FEEL SAFE HERE, DONALD.
WELL, THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT.
LAST TIME WE SPOKE, YOU DIDN'T FEEL SAFE ANYWHERE.
THE FAC THAT THIS PLACE ISN'T ANY WORSE THAN ANY OTHER ISN' VERY COMFORTING.
THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY.
YOUR BROTHER TRIED IT ANOTHER WAY, AND THAT'S WHAT GOT HIM INTO THAT MESS.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO TRUST ME HERE.
YOU TRUST ME, DON'T YOU? YES.
GOOD, WELL, WE'RE GOING LIVE IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.
SO JUST TRY TO RELAX, AND REMEMBER WHAT YOU'RE HERE FOR.
I REMEMBER.
OKAY.
YEAH.
IT'S THE BIG ONE TODAY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE JUST GOT THE SCRIP DOWN ON THE SET.
YOU GOT IT.
SO I'LL BE GIVING YOU THE BREAK CUES DIRECTLY.
NO PROBLEM.
I'LL NEED DOUBLE CHECKS ON ALL THE GEAR.
CAMERAS TWO AND THREE AS WELL.
I WANT THEM READY TO ROLL AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE.
THE NETWORK GUY JUST CALLED.
HE'S GOT A TRANSMITTER ON STAND BY.
HE'S NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT.
WELL, NEITHER AM I.
SO WHERE ARE WE AT? THE CREW'S SET TO GO.
BILLY'S READY TO GO BUT CAN'T FIND HIS HEADSET.
HE WON'T FIND IT.
I'LL BE TAKING THE FLOOR TONIGHT.
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT? NO I MEAN, SANDRA, ALL THIS SECURITY AND STUFF.
I THOUGH IT WAS A STANDARD PROMO HYPE.
THIS IS FOR REAL? I WISH IT WEREN'T.
I CAME HERE TO BE A TV REPORTER.
I GUESS I CAN DO A LITTLE JAMES BOND ON THE SIDE.
YEAH.
COME ON.
LET'S BE SHARP, PEOPLE! STANDING BY.
CAMERAS READY.
GET YOURSELVES TOGETHER.
WE'RE GOING TO AIR! WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT NOW.
WE'LL DO IT LATER.
OKAY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE ON IN 10.
HERE WE GO.
THIS IS THE BIG ONE.
LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN.
IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE ( announcer ) THIS IS ( Donald Rivers ) TONIGHT, ON A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE WHOLE TRUTH DNA GENETIC ENGINEERING CLONING THE DAILY ADVANCES IN BIO-TECHNOLOGY ARE ALMOST OVERWHELMING.
BUT WHAT DOES I REALLY MEAN FOR OUR LIVES? AND WHERE WILL I ULTIMATELY LEAD US? ( ) GOOD EVENING, I'M DONALD RIVERS.
AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TONIGHT WILL SHOCK YOU, MAYBE EVEN TERRIFY YOU.
YOU MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO TURN AWAY OR CHANGE THE CHANNEL, HOPING OR PRAYING THAT NONE OF THIS IS TRUE.
IT WILL BE MY JOB, MY RESPONSIBILITY, TO MAKE YOU LISTEN, TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE OUR OWN ELECTED OFFICIALS DECEIVED US? USED US? ALABAMA, 1932 THE U.
S.
GOVERNMEN DENIES PENICILLIN TO BLACK MEN INFECTED WITH SYPHILIS SO THAT RESEARCHERS COULD OBSERVE THE DISEASE RUN ITS COURSE.
THE TUSKEGEE EXPERIMEN CONTINUES FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS AS SCIENTISTS WATCH THEIR SUBJECTS' BONES, HEARTS AND NERVE TISSUE SLOWLY DISINTEGRATE AND DO NOTHING TO STOP IT.
1946 AS PART OF THE MANHATTAN PROJECT, THE GOVERNMEN SECRETLY INJECTS 12 PATIENTS IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK WITH URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM TO TEST THE EFFECTS OF RADIATION EXPOSURE ON HUMAN BEINGS.
50 YEARS LATER, THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY RELEASES FILES DETAILING SIMILAR EXPERIMENTS ON NEARLY 20,000 OTHER PEOPLE INCLUDING PRISONERS, MENTALLY DISABLED CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN.
1953 THE CIA INITIATES MK-ULTRA, A SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS IN ADVANCED MIND-CONTROL TECHNIQUES, INCLUDING ELECTRO-SHOCK THERAPY AND PSYCHO-ACTIVE DRUGS ON A WIDE VARIETY OF OFTEN UNSUSPECTING SUBJECTS.
THE PROJECT IS SPREAD OU ACROSS A VAST NETWORK OF GOVERNMENTAL AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS AND CONTINUES IN SECRET FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS.
TIME AND AGAIN, OUR GOVERNMENT HAS OPENLY CONFIRMED OUR WORST MOST PARANOID FEARS.
AND IF THAT'S WHA THEY'RE WILLING TO ADMIT, THEN WHA HAVE THEY CHOSEN TO CONCEAL? TONIGHT, THE WHOLE TRUTH WILL EXPOSE A SECRET GOVERNMENT PROGRAM DISPERSED THROUGH NUMEROUS PUBLIC AGENCIES AND PRIVATE CORPORATIONS, ALL WITH THE SAME GOAL TO SLOWLY AND INVISIBLY MANIPULATE THE COURSE OF HUMAN GENETIC DEVELOPMEN AND BY EXTENSION THE FUTURE OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD IN THIS COUNTRY.
SINCE THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR CONSIDERABLE POWER TO SUPPRESS THIS INFORMATION, WE ARE BROADCASTING TONIGHT'S SHOW LIVE.
EVERYONE HERE HAS VOLUNTEERED TO BE HERE.
I'D LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES AND THE NETWORK FOR THEIR COURAGE IN LETTING ME GO ON AIR WITH THIS.
OUR STORY BEGINS OVER 30 YEARS AGO WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY U.
S.
ARMY MEDICAL EXPERIMEN ON IMMORTALITY.
IN A SERIES OF BRUTAL TESTS, DR.
TERRANCE SINCLAIR MADE EXTENSIVE STUDIES ON THE BLOOD OF A REMARKABLE YOUNG WOMAN IDENTIFIED ONLY AS JADE WHO APPEARED TO BE IMMUNE TO THE AGING PROCESS.
WHILE SINCLAIR'S ATTEMPTS TO EXTEND HUMAN LIFESPANS DID ACHIEVE SOME SUCCESS, THE INTERVENTION OF AN UNIDENTIFIED SOLDIER BROUGHT HIS EXPERIMENTS TO AN ABRUPT HAL AS WE SEE IN THIS DRAMATIC RE-ENACTMENT.
NO! NO! NO! STOP! MAKE IT STOP! JUNE 20, 1600 HOURS.
THIS IS DR.
TERRANCE SINCLAIR.
I'M ABOUT TO INTRODUCE THE SECOND TEST SERIES INTO THE BLOODSTREAM TO MEASURE TOXICITY RESPONSE.
WHY DON' WE SEDATE HER? THAT WOULD AFFEC THE TEST RESULTS.
HOLD HER STILL.
( screaming ) PLEASE.
PLEASE DON'T HURT ME ANY MORE.
I WON'T HURT YOU.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I'M LOOKING AT A COURT MARTIAL COMING IN HERE.
WHAT'S HE DOING TO YOU? HELP ME BEFORE HE RETURNS.
I THINK I CAN WALK.
WHAT WILL THEY DO TO YOU? LET'S JUST GET YOU OUT OF HERE.
PUT HER DOWN! YOU CAN'T HURT THIS GIRL, SIR.
THAT WAS AN ORDER.
PUT HER DOWN! ( girl sobbing ) LOOK, CORPORAL, I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T TREAT HER LIKE THIS! SHE'S NOT A PERSON! SHE'S NOT I'M A SCIENTIST.
I KNOW HOW THIS MUST LOOK.
BUT THE WORK WE'RE DOING HERE IS VERY IMPORTANT.
IT COULD MEAN A GREAT DEAL TO THE REST OF US.
SOLDIER, PUT HER BACK ON THE TABLE AND GET OUT! PLEASE DON'T.
IT'S OKAY.
WE'RE LEAVING.
NOW.
YOU CAN'T HAVE HER! ( gun shot ) DON'T! DON'T SHOOT! DON'T! TAPED LOGS OBTAINED BY THE WHOLE TRUTH REVEAL THE ASTONISHING DETAILS.
( Dr.
Sinclair ) AUGUST 11, 2100 HOURS THE LABORATORY AND VIRTUALLY ALL EVIDENCE OF THE PROJECT WERE DESTROYED.
NO BODIES WERE EVER RECOVERED.
BUT WAS THIS SIMPLY AN ISOLATED INCIDENT? OR THE FIRST PIECE OF A MUCH LARGER PUZZLE? WHEN WE RETURN, WE'LL MEE THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING THIS EVIDENCE AND A GREAT DEAL MORE TO LIGHT.
COMING UP NEXT THE MAN WHO'S MADE A PICTURE FROM THOSE PIECES.
( ) WHEN OUR CHOSEN LEADERS TURN AGAINST US, WHERE DO WE TURN? TO THE POLICE? TO OUR LAWS? TO A GUN UNDER THE PILLOW? OR TO THE COURAGE OF A MAN ARMED ONLY WITH THE TRUTH.
THE SOURCE FOR MUCH OF WHAT YOU WILL SEE TONIGH IS JUST SUCH A MAN.
HE'S A MOLECULAR BIOLOGIS FORMERLY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
WE'VE TAKEN EVERY PRECAUTION TO KEEP HIS IDENTITY AND LOCATION SECRET.
WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE WITH US TONIGHT, SIR.
( electronically altered voice ) THANK YOU.
NOW YOU CLAIM YOU'VE PIECED TOGETHER EVIDENCE OF A LONG-RANGE GOVERNMENT PROJEC TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HUMAN GENETIC DEVELOPMENT? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
AND THIS PROJEC WAS CREATED BY DR.
SINCLAIR? NOT EXACTLY.
SINCLAIR'S LONGEVITY EXPERIMENTS WERE JUST A STARTING POINT.
BUT SEVERAL OF THE CURREN RESEARCH INITIATIVES DID BUILD ON HIS WORK.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH AN ATTEMP TO EXTEND HUMAN LIFE SPANS? NOTHING THE GOVERNMENT NEVER INTENDED THAT RESEARCH, THAT TECHNOLOGY TO REACH THE PUBLIC.
WHY? THEY WERE DEVELOPING A PROCESS TO ALTER HUMANS AT A CELLULAR LEVEL.
IT BEGAN AS A WAY TO REVERSE NECROSIS IN HUMAN TISSUE.
YOU MEAN A WAY TO REANIMATE THE DEAD? IT WAS MORE THAN THAT.
THEIR PROCESS INVOLVED REBUILDING THE NEURAL PATHWAYS OF A SUBJECT'S BRAIN IN SUCH A WAY THA THEY COULD CONTROL THE SUBJECT.
THAT'S WHA THEY WERE REALLY TRYING TO DO.
JOINING US VIA SATELLITE IS DR.
RICHARD MORGAN, VICE PRESIDEN OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMEN AT FERRITIN LABORATORIES, ONE COMPANY IN QUESTION.
DR.
MORGAN, HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THESE ALLEGATIONS? WELL, IN A NUTSHELL, THE ALLEGATIONS ARE ABSURD.
THE FERRITIN CORPORATION HAS A DISTINGUISHED RECORD OF PUBLIC SERVICE AND THE MOS SCRUPULOUS RESEARCH PROTOCOLS IN THE INDUSTRY.
IT'S TRUE THAT OVER 75% OF YOUR R & D IS DEVOTED TO DEFENSE PROJECTS? WE'RE A DEFENSE CONTRACTOR.
THE BENEFITS FROM YOUR RESEARCH ARE BEING KEPT EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT SUPPORT YOU.
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
WE HAVE A VIDEO WHICH WAS DISTRIBUTED TO FERRITIN'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONTAINING A PROGRESS REPOR OF YOUR REANIMATION PROJECT.
WHAT? DOCTOR, PLEASE, JUST WATCH YOUR MONITOR.
( mechanical voice ) PRESSURE 165 POUNDS PSI.
( narrator ) THROUGH THE USE OF THE SCANNING MOLECULAR REORGANIZER OR SMR, NECROSIS REVERSAL IS ACCOMPLISHED IN A FOUR-STEP PROCESS.
SMR MODULE BEGINNING ORIENTATION.
SECONDARY SYSTEMS ON LINE.
STEP ONE PHOTOLYTIC REGENERATION.
LASER PROBES ACTIVATED.
NECROSIS PROCESS REVERSING.
THE SMR'S HIGH-ENERGY LASER ARRAY REPAIRS AND RESTORES ALL NERVE, TISSUE AND ORGAN FUNCTIONS.
STEP TWO NEURAL REORGANIZATION.
THE SMR RE-ESTABLISHES ALL CORTICAL AND HIGHER BRAIN FUNCTIONS.
SYNAPTIC REPATTERNING IS POSSIBLE WITH AN OPTIONAL MODULE.
BLOOD REPLACEMENT SYSTEMS ON LINE.
STEP THREE FLUID REPLACEMENT.
ALL THE PRESERVATIVES AND FLUIDS ARE FLUSHED AND PROFUSED AS THE BODY TEMPERATURE IS RESTORED TO NORMAL.
STEP FOUR REACTIVATION.
THE SUBJECT'S NERVOUS SYSTEM IS RE-ENERGIZED BY A SERIES OF HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRICAL IMPULSES, THUS COMPLETING THE PROCESS.
( Donald Rivers ) DOCTOR, CARE TO COMMEN ON WHAT YOU JUST SAW? THAT MATERIAL IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT.
CLEARLY, IT'S BEEN USED IN A YOU'RE ADMITTING THAT IT'S AUTHENTIC? WELL, THIS RESEARCH WAS EXPLORATORY.
THE PROJECT WAS ONLY FOR PROOF OF PRINCIPLE.
AND IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE USED AS A WORKING PROJECT.
( signal breaking up ) DOCTOR, WE'RE LOSING YOUR SIGNAL HERE.
BEAR WITH US FOR A MOMENT.
WE'RE EXPERIENCING SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
PLEASE STAND BY.
THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE US OFF THE AIR.
WE ARE APPARENTLY HAVING TROUBLE WITH A NETWORK SATELLITE TRANSPONDER.
WE'RE NOT SURE IF THE INTERFERENCE IS ACCIDENTAL OR INTENTIONAL, BUT WE'RE PREPARED FOR THIS CONTINGENCY.
WE HAVE SEVERAL BACK-UP TRANSMITTER RELAYS SET UP ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THEY CAN BE SWITCHED OVER TO MAKE SURE WE STAY ON THE AIR.
DONALD, THEY'RE COMING.
I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE! NO, NOT YET.
YOU WERE SAYING THAT, UH, MANY OF THESE GOVERNMENT-FUNDED BREAKTHROUGHS WERE DELIBERATELY SUPPRESSED? YES.
UM UH, THERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE.
THE DAYTON C COMPOUND CREATED AT METADYNE PHARMACEUTICALS.
THIS ONE WAS A CELLULAR REGENERATIVE AGENT, A WAY TO ACCELERATE THE SELF-REPAIR MECHANISMS IN THE HUMAN CELLS.
IT WAS BASICALLY A BROAD SPECTRUM CURE, A GENIUNE WONDER DRUG.
BUT IT NEVER REACHED THE PUBLIC? THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.
WHICH WE WILL SEE IN THIS DRAMATIC RE-ENACTMEN BASED ON METADYNE SECURITY TRANSCRIPTS.
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
VERY CLEVER, KARL.
EVADING THE CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BY TRANSPORTING THEM IN YOUR OWN BODY.
WORLD HAS A RIGH TO KNOW, MICHAEL.
THE VIRUS COURSING THROUGH YOUR VEINS IS THE PROPERTY OF METADYNE PHARMACEUTICALS.
COMPUTER, UNLOCK THE DOOR.
SECURITY CODE MCKENDRICK-5775.
( computer ) THAT CODE HAS BEEN TERMINATED.
PLEASE RESTATE AUTHORIZED SECURITY CODE.
MCKENDRICK-5775! I MEAN TO TELL YOU, KARL.
YOU'RE FIRED.
( computer ) THAT CODE HAS BEEN TERMINATED.
SO YOU CAN SUPPRESS THE RETRO-VIRUS? SUPPRESS IT? NO.
RESTRICT IT? ABSOLUTELY.
ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO I WAN TO HAVE I WILL GET IT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO ME? YOU GOING TO KILL ME? ( computer ) ALL LIVING TISSUE WILL BE VAPORIZED.
ALL LIVING TISSUE.
THAT INCLUDES YOU.
MICHAEL, UNLOCK THE DOOR! ( warning buzzer beeping ) ( computer ) THREE, TWO, ONE.
MICHAEL, OPEN THE DOOR! WHEN WE RETURN, THE PATTERN BEHIND IT ALL.
HOW THESE APPARENTLY DIFFEREN RESEARCH DEVELOPMENTS ARE ACTUALLY CONNECTED.
( ) ( ) LONGEVITY STUDIES, NEURAL PROGRAMMING, CELLULAR REGENERATION NOW AT FIRST GLANCE THESE WOULD ALL SEEM TO BE SEPARATE AND DISTINCT AREAS OF RESEARCH, BUT ACCORDING TO YOU, SIR, THEY ARE NOT.
NO, THEY'RE NOT.
YOU SEE, ALL OF THOSE PROCEDURES ARE BASED ON PHYSICAL ALTERATION OF HUMAN GENETIC MATERIAL.
SO THE KEY IS TRANSFORMATION? YES, CHANGING ONE THING, ONE HUMAN THING, INTO ANOTHER.
THE REASON FOR THAT JUST A MOMENT PLEASE.
WE'RE GETTING WORD THA THERE IS ANOTHER BROADCAS GOING OUT OVER SEVERAL OF THE MAJOR NEWS NETWORKS NOW.
IT'S BEING PICKED UP.
CAN WE BRING THAT UP? OKAY HERE WE GO.
AND I REITERATE THA AFFILIATED TECHNOLOGIES IS SIMPLY THE NETWORK'S PARENT CORPORATION.
WE AREN'T INVOLVED IN DAY-TO-DAY PROGRAMMING.
HOWEVER WE'RE APPALLED THAT THEY WOULD ALLOW THIS KIND OF SENSATIONALISM ON THE AIR.
IS THIS A PUBLICTY STUNT? COME ON, THE NAME OF THE SHOW NOTWITHSTANDING, DONALD RIVERS IS OBVIOUSLY INTERESTED IN ONE THING, AND THAT'S RATINGS.
JUST ONE MORE, PLEASE.
CAN YOU TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT HIS SOURCE? WE HAVE I ON EXCELLENT AUTHORITY THAT HIS SO-CALLED SOURCE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MENTALLY ILL INDIVIDUAL WHO IS BEING USED IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY.
THIS KIND OF THING REALLY INFLAMES THE PUBLIC, CAN MAKE SOME PEOPLE DO CRAZY THINGS.
THAT'S ALL WE HAVE FOR NOW, THANK YOU.
MY PRODUCER HAS JUST INFORMED ME THAT A NUMBER OF OUR AFFILIATES ARE HAVING PROBLEMS RECEIVING OUR NETWORK FEED.
WE'RE LEARNING THAT SEVERAL STATIONS HAVE BEEN ORDERED BY THEIR CORPORATE OWNERS TO DROP THIS BROADCAST ENTIRELY.
I CAN ONLY URGE OUR AFFILIATES TO PLEASE STAY THE COURSE, KEEP US ON THE AIR.
WE ARE DEPENDING ON YOU TO LET THE TRUTH COME OUT.
YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS, I'VE DONE OVER A HUNDRED REPORTS AND EXPOSES.
I'VE DEVELOPED, I'D LIKE TO THINK, THE INSTINCTS TO KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS RIGHT OR WRONG.
AND TIME AND AGAIN, YOU PEOPLE HAVE PLACED YOUR TRUST IN ME.
I LIKE TO THINK THAT TRUST HAS BEEN REWARDED.
WHAT I'M SHOWING YOU TONIGH IS THE TRUTH.
TRUST IN ME ONE MORE TIME.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO WILL TRY TO HIDE THE TRUTH AND POISON IT, MURDER IT.
AND TONIGHT, WE'RE NO GOING TO GIVE THEM THAT CHANCE, ISN'T THAT RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT.
I'M HONORED TO INTRODUCE MY SOURCE, DR.
AVERY STRONG.
WELCOME, DOCTOR.
THIS IS THE MAN YOUR GOVERNMEN IS TRYING TO DISCREDIT, BUT THEY WON'T SUCCEED, BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW THEY'RE PLANNING TO DO IT, HOW THEY'RE PLANNING TO DRAG HIS NAME THROUGH THE MUD.
WE'RE GOING TO FACE THEIR ACCUSATIONS HEAD ON AND PRE-EMPT THEM IF YOU'RE READY.
( sighing ) YES.
PLEASE.
WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE IS HIDDEN-CAMERA FOOTAGE TAKEN TWO YEARS AGO INSIDE THE PENTAGON.
WATCH.
MR.
RANDAL STRONG, WELCOME.
MR.
CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU.
I'M GRATEFUL THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS GRANTED ME A HEARING.
MR.
CHAIRMAN, IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, I HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING RESEARCH.
I'VE COME TO THE INESCAPABLE CONCLUSION THAT THE UNITED STATES, QUITE POSSIBLY THE ENTIRE WORLD, IS BEING OVERRUN BY ALIENS.
I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE THE GREATEST THREA WE'VE EVER FACED AS A NATION.
WE HAVE TO ACT.
WE HAVE TO ACT NOW.
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
YOU'RE PARANOID.
NO, SIR.
UNDERSTANDABLY DISTRESSED.
I SEE A THREAT.
YOU SEE DELUSIONS.
I BEG YOUR PARDON, SIR! THIS HEARING IS OVER.
GOODBYE.
DR.
STRONG, WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOU? THE MAN IN THE TAPE, THE ONE WHO SHOT THE CHAIRMAN, HE WAS MY BROTHER RANDAL.
HE WAS INSTITUTIONALIZED AFTER TESTIFYING TO THAT COMMITTEE.
HE HASN' SPOKEN A WORD SINCE.
AND WE'VE OBTAINED ARMY MEDICAL RECORDS INDICATING THAT YOUR BROTHER WAS AN UNSTABLE INDIVIDUAL.
HE'S SUFFERING FROM PARANOID DELUSIONS AND POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.
RANDAL HAD HIS PROBLEMS.
IT WAS NO SECRET.
THERE ARE SIMILAR FILES ON YOU.
THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME OU TO BE SOME LUNATIC SO THAT PEOPLE WILL THINK EVERYTHING I'M TELLING YOU IS SOME TWISTED ATTEMP AT REVENGE BY AN UNSTABLE MAN WHO BLAMES THE GOVERNMEN FOR THE LOSS OF HIS BROTHER.
IF NOT REVENGE, THEN WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE FOR COMING FORWARD? BECAUSE OF WHAT I SAW.
I WAS PART OF A MILITARY RESEARCH TEAM, A PROJECT TO TRANSFORM HUMANS INTO ALIEN LIFEFORMS.
AND WHEN YOU SAY ALIEN, YOU MEAN EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL.
YES, IT WAS PURELY THEORETICAL AT FIRST.
EVERYBODY TREATED I KIND OF LIKE A JOKE.
THEN IT STOPPED BEING FUNNY.
WE HAVE SOME SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FILES.
YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS.
( Dr.
Avery Strong ) WE WERE GIVEN A SAMPLE OF ALIEN DNA.
AND WE IMPLANTED THE GENETIC MATERIAL IN A VOLUNTEER.
AT LEAS I THINK HE WAS A VOLUNTEER.
HE STARTED TO CHANGE IN SMALL WAYS AT FIRST.
THEN IT ACCELERATED.
( groaning ) HE WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN.
I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE! YOU HEAR ME?! YOU CAN'T TOUCH MY SOUL! GOD KNOWS.
( alarm sounding ) HE NEARLY DIED MORE THAN ONCE.
SET! CLEAR! AFTER A WHILE IT WAS HARD EVEN TO LOOK HIM IN THE EYE.
SERGEANT, I'M DR.
STRONG.
I'M HERE TO TEST YOUR SENSORY ACCUITY.
YOUR HEARING.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US ABOUT IT BEFORE? NEVER SHOW YOUR ADVANTAGE TO THE ENEMY.
WE'RE NOT I'M NOT YOUR ENEMY.
THERE IS A REASON BEHIND THIS.
THERE HAS TO BE.
WE'VE ALL GO JOBS TO DO.
WHAT IS YOURS? THEY NEVER TOLD US WHY WE WERE DOING IT OR WHAT FOR.
THEN THEY TOLD US TO FORGET IT EVER HAPPENED.
YES WELL, OF COURSE YOU COULDN' FORGET THAT.
I COULDN'T GET THE IMAGE OF THAT MAN OUT OF MY MIND.
I HAD TO KNOW WHY.
I STILL HAD MY SECURITY CLEARANCE.
I STARTED LOOKING AROUND IN PLACES I SHOULDN'T HAVE.
IT TOOK YEARS TO PUT IT TOGETHER, BUT I'M CONVINCED THAT THIS PROJEC WAS JUST ANOTHER STEP IN PERFECTING PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES ON HUMAN BEINGS.
THE TERRIFYING REASON WHY IN JUST A MOMENT.
( ) ( ) PUT THIS TOGETHER FOR US, DOCTOR.
YOU BEGIN WITH RAW GENETIC MATERIAL, LIVING OR EVEN DEAD.
THEN YOU REGENERATE THE CELLS, REBUILD THE TISSUE, ACCELERATE THE CELL GROWTH, SHAPE I TO WHATEVER FORM YOU WANT.
AND THEN YOU REPROGRAM THE NEURAL PATHWAYS.
AND YOU GET? A REPLACEMEN FOR ANYONE YOU WANT HUMAN LIKE A CLONE, BUT BETTER BECAUSE YOU CAN MAKE IT THINK AND ACT AND TALK ANY WAY YOU WANT IT TO.
GO ON.
THE GOVERNMENT IS ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE POWERFUL INDIVIDUALS USING THIS TECHNIQUE, WORLD LEADERS WITH EXACT DUPLICATES COMPLETELY UNDER THEIR CONTROL.
PERFECT FOR ESPIONAGE.
OR DISINFORMATION, PROPAGANDA.
OR SIMPLY MANIPULATION OF CRITICAL PEOPLE AT CRITICAL TIMES.
CONSIDER THE CASE OF MASON STARK, CEO OF THE EIGENPHASE CORPORATION, THE DEFENSE DEPARTMEN CONTRACTOR WHOSE VERY PUBLIC DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE PENTAGON WERE RECENTLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SETTLED.
IN THIS EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE, AN EXPERIMENT LOG RECOVERED FROM AN ABANDONED GOVERNMENT LABORATORY, WE SEE MR.
STARK COMING FACE TO FACE WITH WHA CAN ONLY BE CLONES OF HIMSELF.
HELLO? HELLO? OH, GREAT! ANOTHER ONE THA LOOKS LIKE ME! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! I CAN'T LOOK AT THESE OTHER TWO GUYS ANY LONGER! AND YOU BRING ANOTHER ONE! YEAH, COME OVER HERE! JUST WAIT! I'LL TAKE YOUR HEAD OFF! HELP! NO.
IS THE CURRENT MR.
STARK TRULY WHO HE SEEMS TO BE? AT THIS POIN WE CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
NONE OF OUR CALLS TO MR.
STARK OR HIS REPRESENTATIVES WERE RETURNED.
THE WHOLE TRUTH HAS TURNED OVER COPIES OF THIS FOOTAGE TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.
NEXT, WE'LL EXAMINE OTHER POSSIBLE CLONE REPLACEMENTS, PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING THE CORRIDORS OF POWER EVEN ( power shutting down ) ARE WE STILL ON THE AIR? PICTURE'S STILL UP.
STUDIO POWER MUST BE DOWN.
OPEN THAT DOOR! ( gunshots ) ( woman screaming ) THEY WON' TAKE ME ALIVE.
I WON'T END UP LIKE MY BROTHER.
BUT WE'RE NOT FINISHED.
EVERYBODY OUT! USE THE TUNNELS! GET THE HAND-HELD! STAY WITH US! STAY WITH US! HURRY, DONALD.
NOT MUCH JUICE LEFT.
USE WHAT YOU GOT.
LET'S GO! SWITCH TO REMOTE! REMOTE! GOT IT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE WITH ME, THEN DON'T.
GO FOR SHELTER SOMEWHERE.
I NEED SANDRA, COLIN, AVERY.
ARE THEY COMING AFTER US? WHAT ABOUT SECURITY? WERE THEY STILL IN FRONT? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS TRYING TO INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAS OR HOW LONG WE'LL CONTINUE CAREFUL GOING THROUGH THERE.
WE'LL STAY ON THE AIR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
WE'RE NOT SURE HOW MUCH POWER WE'VE GOT LEFT.
BUT STAY WITH US.
WE'LL SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT.
WE HAVE IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU STILL, AND WE WILL BE BACK.
YOU'RE WATCHING THE WHOLE TRUTH.
FORGIVE US IF OUR PRODUCTION VALUES AREN'T UP TO STANDARD TODAY.
WE'RE BROADCASTING LIVE VIA REMOTE AND UNSURE AT THIS MOMEN WHAT THE SITUATION IS BACK AT THE STUDIO.
AS FAR AS WE KNOW, WE AREN'T BEING FOLLOWED.
JUST BECAUSE WE CAN'T SEE THEM DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT THERE.
WELL, YES, VERY TRUE.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU HIDDEN CAMERA FOOTAGE TAKEN AT GREAT PERSONAL RISK BY DR.
STRONG.
THIS WILL SHOW THE GOVERNMENT'S SECRET CLONING FACILITIES.
UH, SANDRA, PLEASE.
( Dr.
Strong ) THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF BABIES, CLONES IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMEN EVERYWHERE I LOOKED.
IT WAS LIKE LIVESTOCK, RAW MATERIAL.
IT WAS HORRIBLE.
WE ARE EN ROUTE TO THAT FACILITY AT THIS VERY MOMENT.
WE'LL CONFRON THE PEOPLE WHO RUN I AND FIND OUT IF THEY TRULY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.
WE'LL TAKE A BREAK NOW.
PLEASE STAY WITH US.
AND WE'RE CLEAR.
THEY'LL NEVER LET US IN, DONALD.
LET THEM EXPLAIN THA TO A NATIONAL TELEVISION AUDIENCE.
THIS ISN' AN ALIEN AUTOPSY HOAX.
THIS IS REAL.
PLEASE THAT MAKES PEOPLE NERVOUS.
IT'S DESIGNED TO DO THAT.
THAT ATTITUDE PUT YOUR BROTHER AWAY.
RANDAL DID WHAT WAS NECESSARY.
SO WILL I.
YOU ALREADY ARE, AVERY.
PLEASE, ALL OF US ARE.
I'M SORRY SORRY.
HOW MUCH FURTHER IS IT TO THE LAB? WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE BY NOW.
WE LOSE NETWORK FEED IN 15 MINUTES.
THEY WON'T CUT AWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.
I'LL CUT IN LIVE WHEN WE GET TO THE LAB.
WE OWE THE AFFILIATES ANOTHER COMMERCIAL.
I'LL HAVE THEM RUN PSAs ( brakes screeching ) WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE?! WE'VE LOST OUR SATELLITE UPLINK.
HOW DO WE GET IT BACK? I DON'T KNOW.
THE BOARD LOOKS FINE.
THE PROBLEM DIDN' COME FROM HERE.
THERE'S SOMETHING VERY WRONG HERE.
WAIT! WAIT! WE'RE BACK.
OKAY, LET'S GO.
IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE AS PROMISED, WE ARE STILL REPORTING DONALD, WAIT.
THIS ISN' OUR SIGNAL.
WHAT? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED HERE.
AVERY STRONG LIED TO ME, LIED TO ALL OF US.
AND EVERYTHING HE SAID, EVERYTHING HE SHOWED US HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A FABRICATION, A HOAX.
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SEEN, EVERYTHING YOU'VE HEARD DID YOU GO TO TAPE? NO.
I NEVER RECORDED ANY OF THIS STUFF.
A DERANGED MAN, JUS A VERY SICK MIND.
IT'S ALL IN HIS SUICIDE NOTE.
UH, AVERY STRONG IS DEAD.
AND, UM KILLED HIMSELF.
IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST.
HE WEN ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.
HE JUS STARTED SHOOTING.
AND IN THE PROCESS, SHOT MY PRODUCER, MY CREW.
ONLY MY DRIVER AND I GOT OUT IN TIME.
AND, UM, I I CAN ONLY ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS TRAGEDY.
I'VE NOTIFIED THE AUTHORITIES.
THEY SHOULD BE HERE SHORTLY.
UH AND TO YOU, THE AUDIENCE, I CAN ONLY APOLOGIZE FOR BEING GULLIBLE.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.
I'M A PROFESSIONAL, AND, UH, I'M SORRY TO YOU AND TO THESE GOOD PEOPLE.
I'M SO I'M SORRY.
THAT, UM ( Rivers ) WHO'S THERE? WHO ARE YOU? I'M NOT GOING LIKE RANDAL.
( Sandra ) OH, MY GOD! YOU WERE TELLING THE TRUTH.
NO HARD FEELINGS.
THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE HE CAME FROM.
YOU'RE ONE HELL OF A REPORTER, DONALD.
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE STORY OF A LIFETIME.
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DO NOW.
THE PEOPLE SAW EVERYTHING.
OH, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEE ENOUGH.
AND BY TOMORROW, THEY'LL BE STARTING TO FORGET.
BECAUSE AS IMPORTANT AS YOU ARE AND AS INFLUENTIAL AS YOUR PROGRAM IS IN THE END IT'S JUST A TV SHOW.
AND YOU'VE BEEN REPLACED.
( gunshots ) ( control voice ) WE RELY UPON OTHERS TO INFORM US, BUT WISDOM CAN NEVER BE TAUGHT.
AND WE MUST ALWAYS DECIDE THE TRUTH FOR OURSELVES.
( gunshot )
BUT A CHARMING PLACE TO SPEND THE NIGHT.
HE'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT HIT HIM.
I LIKE I WHEN THEY DO.
( mumbling ) ONE OF THOSE GUYS.
A COUPLE OF FREAKS! SHOW TIME.
LET'S GET HIM.
HEY, I'M SORRY, MAN.
THIS AIN'T MY CAR.
THIS GUY GAVE ME ALL THIS STUFF.
WHERE TO, CHIEF? YOU CAN HAVE IT, IF YOU WANT.
HE TOLD ME OH, MY GOD.
( phone ringing ) ( Control Voice ) THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR TELEVISION.
DO NOT ATTEMP 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 THA YOU SEE AND HEAR.
( ) YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE THE AWE AND MYSTERY WHICH REACHES FROM THE DEEPEST INNER MIND TO THE OUTER LIMITS.
SOMETIMES, TO UNCOVER THA WHICH IS HIDDEN, WE MUST FIRST BE MADE TO LOOK.
HEY, WE WERE GETTING A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT YOU.
I WOULDN' MISS THIS ONE.
WE'VE GO A SHOW TO DO.
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? I HAD TO GIVE A COUPLE OF ARDENT FANS THE SLIP.
THAT'S COMFORTING.
WELL, I'M HERE.
DID EVERYBODY MAKE IT? YES, BARELY.
THAT'S GOOD.
LOCK IT UP REAL TIGHT TODAY.
I DON'T WANT ANYBODY IN OR OUT OF THE STUDIO.
EVERBODY! FOCUS! THIS IS THE BIG ONE.
SANDRA, YOU'RE LOSING YOUR EDGE.
I'VE BEEN HERE A MINUTE, AND YOU HAVEN' ASKED ME FOR THE SCRIPT.
I'M DON'T CARE.
I'M BEHIND THE CAMERA.
GET THIS ON THE TELEPROMPTER ASAP.
IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO RERUN YOUR EXPOSE ON THE HARTFORD RIVER NUCLEAR FACILITY.
YOU JUS SAY THE WORD.
THERE'S A REASON PEOPLE DON'T DO LIVE TV ANY MORE.
WE USED TO DO IT.
YEAH, FOR CABLE ACCESS IN DES MOINES.
LIFE WAS SIMPLE THEN.
YOU THINK THE JOB'S STILL OPEN? SANDRA, WE'RE GOING TO MAKE HISTORY HERE.
PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS.
AND WE NEED THEM TO WATCH.
THEY WILL.
GOOD SHOW.
WHO'S GOT CLOSED CIRCUIT TODAY? I'LL CHECK OU THE REMOTE BEFORE WE LOCK IT UP.
BRING IT UP THEN AND, COLIN, COULD YOU PIPE ME INTO INTERVIEW 'A' AND MAKE THAT PRIVATE? YOU GOT IT.
CLOSE-UP WOULD BE NICE, THANK YOU.
HELLO? MY FRIEND, ARE YOU THERE? CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, DONALD.
GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING? FINE.
THAT BAD, HUH? I DON'T FEEL SAFE HERE, DONALD.
WELL, THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT.
LAST TIME WE SPOKE, YOU DIDN'T FEEL SAFE ANYWHERE.
THE FAC THAT THIS PLACE ISN'T ANY WORSE THAN ANY OTHER ISN' VERY COMFORTING.
THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER WAY.
YOUR BROTHER TRIED IT ANOTHER WAY, AND THAT'S WHAT GOT HIM INTO THAT MESS.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO TRY TO TRUST ME HERE.
YOU TRUST ME, DON'T YOU? YES.
GOOD, WELL, WE'RE GOING LIVE IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.
SO JUST TRY TO RELAX, AND REMEMBER WHAT YOU'RE HERE FOR.
I REMEMBER.
OKAY.
YEAH.
IT'S THE BIG ONE TODAY.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE JUST GOT THE SCRIP DOWN ON THE SET.
YOU GOT IT.
SO I'LL BE GIVING YOU THE BREAK CUES DIRECTLY.
NO PROBLEM.
I'LL NEED DOUBLE CHECKS ON ALL THE GEAR.
CAMERAS TWO AND THREE AS WELL.
I WANT THEM READY TO ROLL AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE.
THE NETWORK GUY JUST CALLED.
HE'S GOT A TRANSMITTER ON STAND BY.
HE'S NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT IT.
WELL, NEITHER AM I.
SO WHERE ARE WE AT? THE CREW'S SET TO GO.
BILLY'S READY TO GO BUT CAN'T FIND HIS HEADSET.
HE WON'T FIND IT.
I'LL BE TAKING THE FLOOR TONIGHT.
SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT? NO I MEAN, SANDRA, ALL THIS SECURITY AND STUFF.
I THOUGH IT WAS A STANDARD PROMO HYPE.
THIS IS FOR REAL? I WISH IT WEREN'T.
I CAME HERE TO BE A TV REPORTER.
I GUESS I CAN DO A LITTLE JAMES BOND ON THE SIDE.
YEAH.
COME ON.
LET'S BE SHARP, PEOPLE! STANDING BY.
CAMERAS READY.
GET YOURSELVES TOGETHER.
WE'RE GOING TO AIR! WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT NOW.
WE'LL DO IT LATER.
OKAY, EVERYBODY, WE'RE ON IN 10.
HERE WE GO.
THIS IS THE BIG ONE.
LET'S MAKE IT HAPPEN.
IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE ( announcer ) THIS IS ( Donald Rivers ) TONIGHT, ON A SPECIAL EDITION OF THE WHOLE TRUTH DNA GENETIC ENGINEERING CLONING THE DAILY ADVANCES IN BIO-TECHNOLOGY ARE ALMOST OVERWHELMING.
BUT WHAT DOES I REALLY MEAN FOR OUR LIVES? AND WHERE WILL I ULTIMATELY LEAD US? ( ) GOOD EVENING, I'M DONALD RIVERS.
AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE TONIGHT WILL SHOCK YOU, MAYBE EVEN TERRIFY YOU.
YOU MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO TURN AWAY OR CHANGE THE CHANNEL, HOPING OR PRAYING THAT NONE OF THIS IS TRUE.
IT WILL BE MY JOB, MY RESPONSIBILITY, TO MAKE YOU LISTEN, TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE OUR OWN ELECTED OFFICIALS DECEIVED US? USED US? ALABAMA, 1932 THE U.
S.
GOVERNMEN DENIES PENICILLIN TO BLACK MEN INFECTED WITH SYPHILIS SO THAT RESEARCHERS COULD OBSERVE THE DISEASE RUN ITS COURSE.
THE TUSKEGEE EXPERIMEN CONTINUES FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS AS SCIENTISTS WATCH THEIR SUBJECTS' BONES, HEARTS AND NERVE TISSUE SLOWLY DISINTEGRATE AND DO NOTHING TO STOP IT.
1946 AS PART OF THE MANHATTAN PROJECT, THE GOVERNMEN SECRETLY INJECTS 12 PATIENTS IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK WITH URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM TO TEST THE EFFECTS OF RADIATION EXPOSURE ON HUMAN BEINGS.
50 YEARS LATER, THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY RELEASES FILES DETAILING SIMILAR EXPERIMENTS ON NEARLY 20,000 OTHER PEOPLE INCLUDING PRISONERS, MENTALLY DISABLED CHILDREN AND PREGNANT WOMEN.
1953 THE CIA INITIATES MK-ULTRA, A SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS IN ADVANCED MIND-CONTROL TECHNIQUES, INCLUDING ELECTRO-SHOCK THERAPY AND PSYCHO-ACTIVE DRUGS ON A WIDE VARIETY OF OFTEN UNSUSPECTING SUBJECTS.
THE PROJECT IS SPREAD OU ACROSS A VAST NETWORK OF GOVERNMENTAL AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS AND CONTINUES IN SECRET FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS.
TIME AND AGAIN, OUR GOVERNMENT HAS OPENLY CONFIRMED OUR WORST MOST PARANOID FEARS.
AND IF THAT'S WHA THEY'RE WILLING TO ADMIT, THEN WHA HAVE THEY CHOSEN TO CONCEAL? TONIGHT, THE WHOLE TRUTH WILL EXPOSE A SECRET GOVERNMENT PROGRAM DISPERSED THROUGH NUMEROUS PUBLIC AGENCIES AND PRIVATE CORPORATIONS, ALL WITH THE SAME GOAL TO SLOWLY AND INVISIBLY MANIPULATE THE COURSE OF HUMAN GENETIC DEVELOPMEN AND BY EXTENSION THE FUTURE OF EVERY MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD IN THIS COUNTRY.
SINCE THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR CONSIDERABLE POWER TO SUPPRESS THIS INFORMATION, WE ARE BROADCASTING TONIGHT'S SHOW LIVE.
EVERYONE HERE HAS VOLUNTEERED TO BE HERE.
I'D LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES AND THE NETWORK FOR THEIR COURAGE IN LETTING ME GO ON AIR WITH THIS.
OUR STORY BEGINS OVER 30 YEARS AGO WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY U.
S.
ARMY MEDICAL EXPERIMEN ON IMMORTALITY.
IN A SERIES OF BRUTAL TESTS, DR.
TERRANCE SINCLAIR MADE EXTENSIVE STUDIES ON THE BLOOD OF A REMARKABLE YOUNG WOMAN IDENTIFIED ONLY AS JADE WHO APPEARED TO BE IMMUNE TO THE AGING PROCESS.
WHILE SINCLAIR'S ATTEMPTS TO EXTEND HUMAN LIFESPANS DID ACHIEVE SOME SUCCESS, THE INTERVENTION OF AN UNIDENTIFIED SOLDIER BROUGHT HIS EXPERIMENTS TO AN ABRUPT HAL AS WE SEE IN THIS DRAMATIC RE-ENACTMENT.
NO! NO! NO! STOP! MAKE IT STOP! JUNE 20, 1600 HOURS.
THIS IS DR.
TERRANCE SINCLAIR.
I'M ABOUT TO INTRODUCE THE SECOND TEST SERIES INTO THE BLOODSTREAM TO MEASURE TOXICITY RESPONSE.
WHY DON' WE SEDATE HER? THAT WOULD AFFEC THE TEST RESULTS.
HOLD HER STILL.
( screaming ) PLEASE.
PLEASE DON'T HURT ME ANY MORE.
I WON'T HURT YOU.
PLEASE HELP ME.
I'M LOOKING AT A COURT MARTIAL COMING IN HERE.
WHAT'S HE DOING TO YOU? HELP ME BEFORE HE RETURNS.
I THINK I CAN WALK.
WHAT WILL THEY DO TO YOU? LET'S JUST GET YOU OUT OF HERE.
PUT HER DOWN! YOU CAN'T HURT THIS GIRL, SIR.
THAT WAS AN ORDER.
PUT HER DOWN! ( girl sobbing ) LOOK, CORPORAL, I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T TREAT HER LIKE THIS! SHE'S NOT A PERSON! SHE'S NOT I'M A SCIENTIST.
I KNOW HOW THIS MUST LOOK.
BUT THE WORK WE'RE DOING HERE IS VERY IMPORTANT.
IT COULD MEAN A GREAT DEAL TO THE REST OF US.
SOLDIER, PUT HER BACK ON THE TABLE AND GET OUT! PLEASE DON'T.
IT'S OKAY.
WE'RE LEAVING.
NOW.
YOU CAN'T HAVE HER! ( gun shot ) DON'T! DON'T SHOOT! DON'T! TAPED LOGS OBTAINED BY THE WHOLE TRUTH REVEAL THE ASTONISHING DETAILS.
( Dr.
Sinclair ) AUGUST 11, 2100 HOURS THE LABORATORY AND VIRTUALLY ALL EVIDENCE OF THE PROJECT WERE DESTROYED.
NO BODIES WERE EVER RECOVERED.
BUT WAS THIS SIMPLY AN ISOLATED INCIDENT? OR THE FIRST PIECE OF A MUCH LARGER PUZZLE? WHEN WE RETURN, WE'LL MEE THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING THIS EVIDENCE AND A GREAT DEAL MORE TO LIGHT.
COMING UP NEXT THE MAN WHO'S MADE A PICTURE FROM THOSE PIECES.
( ) WHEN OUR CHOSEN LEADERS TURN AGAINST US, WHERE DO WE TURN? TO THE POLICE? TO OUR LAWS? TO A GUN UNDER THE PILLOW? OR TO THE COURAGE OF A MAN ARMED ONLY WITH THE TRUTH.
THE SOURCE FOR MUCH OF WHAT YOU WILL SEE TONIGH IS JUST SUCH A MAN.
HE'S A MOLECULAR BIOLOGIS FORMERLY WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.
WE'VE TAKEN EVERY PRECAUTION TO KEEP HIS IDENTITY AND LOCATION SECRET.
WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE WITH US TONIGHT, SIR.
( electronically altered voice ) THANK YOU.
NOW YOU CLAIM YOU'VE PIECED TOGETHER EVIDENCE OF A LONG-RANGE GOVERNMENT PROJEC TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HUMAN GENETIC DEVELOPMENT? YES, THAT'S CORRECT.
AND THIS PROJEC WAS CREATED BY DR.
SINCLAIR? NOT EXACTLY.
SINCLAIR'S LONGEVITY EXPERIMENTS WERE JUST A STARTING POINT.
BUT SEVERAL OF THE CURREN RESEARCH INITIATIVES DID BUILD ON HIS WORK.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH AN ATTEMP TO EXTEND HUMAN LIFE SPANS? NOTHING THE GOVERNMENT NEVER INTENDED THAT RESEARCH, THAT TECHNOLOGY TO REACH THE PUBLIC.
WHY? THEY WERE DEVELOPING A PROCESS TO ALTER HUMANS AT A CELLULAR LEVEL.
IT BEGAN AS A WAY TO REVERSE NECROSIS IN HUMAN TISSUE.
YOU MEAN A WAY TO REANIMATE THE DEAD? IT WAS MORE THAN THAT.
THEIR PROCESS INVOLVED REBUILDING THE NEURAL PATHWAYS OF A SUBJECT'S BRAIN IN SUCH A WAY THA THEY COULD CONTROL THE SUBJECT.
THAT'S WHA THEY WERE REALLY TRYING TO DO.
JOINING US VIA SATELLITE IS DR.
RICHARD MORGAN, VICE PRESIDEN OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMEN AT FERRITIN LABORATORIES, ONE COMPANY IN QUESTION.
DR.
MORGAN, HOW DO YOU RESPOND TO THESE ALLEGATIONS? WELL, IN A NUTSHELL, THE ALLEGATIONS ARE ABSURD.
THE FERRITIN CORPORATION HAS A DISTINGUISHED RECORD OF PUBLIC SERVICE AND THE MOS SCRUPULOUS RESEARCH PROTOCOLS IN THE INDUSTRY.
IT'S TRUE THAT OVER 75% OF YOUR R & D IS DEVOTED TO DEFENSE PROJECTS? WE'RE A DEFENSE CONTRACTOR.
THE BENEFITS FROM YOUR RESEARCH ARE BEING KEPT EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES THAT SUPPORT YOU.
THAT'S RIDICULOUS.
WE HAVE A VIDEO WHICH WAS DISTRIBUTED TO FERRITIN'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS CONTAINING A PROGRESS REPOR OF YOUR REANIMATION PROJECT.
WHAT? DOCTOR, PLEASE, JUST WATCH YOUR MONITOR.
( mechanical voice ) PRESSURE 165 POUNDS PSI.
( narrator ) THROUGH THE USE OF THE SCANNING MOLECULAR REORGANIZER OR SMR, NECROSIS REVERSAL IS ACCOMPLISHED IN A FOUR-STEP PROCESS.
SMR MODULE BEGINNING ORIENTATION.
SECONDARY SYSTEMS ON LINE.
STEP ONE PHOTOLYTIC REGENERATION.
LASER PROBES ACTIVATED.
NECROSIS PROCESS REVERSING.
THE SMR'S HIGH-ENERGY LASER ARRAY REPAIRS AND RESTORES ALL NERVE, TISSUE AND ORGAN FUNCTIONS.
STEP TWO NEURAL REORGANIZATION.
THE SMR RE-ESTABLISHES ALL CORTICAL AND HIGHER BRAIN FUNCTIONS.
SYNAPTIC REPATTERNING IS POSSIBLE WITH AN OPTIONAL MODULE.
BLOOD REPLACEMENT SYSTEMS ON LINE.
STEP THREE FLUID REPLACEMENT.
ALL THE PRESERVATIVES AND FLUIDS ARE FLUSHED AND PROFUSED AS THE BODY TEMPERATURE IS RESTORED TO NORMAL.
STEP FOUR REACTIVATION.
THE SUBJECT'S NERVOUS SYSTEM IS RE-ENERGIZED BY A SERIES OF HIGH-FREQUENCY ELECTRICAL IMPULSES, THUS COMPLETING THE PROCESS.
( Donald Rivers ) DOCTOR, CARE TO COMMEN ON WHAT YOU JUST SAW? THAT MATERIAL IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTEXT.
CLEARLY, IT'S BEEN USED IN A YOU'RE ADMITTING THAT IT'S AUTHENTIC? WELL, THIS RESEARCH WAS EXPLORATORY.
THE PROJECT WAS ONLY FOR PROOF OF PRINCIPLE.
AND IT WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE USED AS A WORKING PROJECT.
( signal breaking up ) DOCTOR, WE'RE LOSING YOUR SIGNAL HERE.
BEAR WITH US FOR A MOMENT.
WE'RE EXPERIENCING SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.
PLEASE STAND BY.
THEY'RE TRYING TO TAKE US OFF THE AIR.
WE ARE APPARENTLY HAVING TROUBLE WITH A NETWORK SATELLITE TRANSPONDER.
WE'RE NOT SURE IF THE INTERFERENCE IS ACCIDENTAL OR INTENTIONAL, BUT WE'RE PREPARED FOR THIS CONTINGENCY.
WE HAVE SEVERAL BACK-UP TRANSMITTER RELAYS SET UP ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
THEY CAN BE SWITCHED OVER TO MAKE SURE WE STAY ON THE AIR.
DONALD, THEY'RE COMING.
I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE! NO, NOT YET.
YOU WERE SAYING THAT, UH, MANY OF THESE GOVERNMENT-FUNDED BREAKTHROUGHS WERE DELIBERATELY SUPPRESSED? YES.
UM UH, THERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE.
THE DAYTON C COMPOUND CREATED AT METADYNE PHARMACEUTICALS.
THIS ONE WAS A CELLULAR REGENERATIVE AGENT, A WAY TO ACCELERATE THE SELF-REPAIR MECHANISMS IN THE HUMAN CELLS.
IT WAS BASICALLY A BROAD SPECTRUM CURE, A GENIUNE WONDER DRUG.
BUT IT NEVER REACHED THE PUBLIC? THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.
WHICH WE WILL SEE IN THIS DRAMATIC RE-ENACTMEN BASED ON METADYNE SECURITY TRANSCRIPTS.
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
VERY CLEVER, KARL.
EVADING THE CONTAINMENT SYSTEMS BY TRANSPORTING THEM IN YOUR OWN BODY.
WORLD HAS A RIGH TO KNOW, MICHAEL.
THE VIRUS COURSING THROUGH YOUR VEINS IS THE PROPERTY OF METADYNE PHARMACEUTICALS.
COMPUTER, UNLOCK THE DOOR.
SECURITY CODE MCKENDRICK-5775.
( computer ) THAT CODE HAS BEEN TERMINATED.
PLEASE RESTATE AUTHORIZED SECURITY CODE.
MCKENDRICK-5775! I MEAN TO TELL YOU, KARL.
YOU'RE FIRED.
( computer ) THAT CODE HAS BEEN TERMINATED.
SO YOU CAN SUPPRESS THE RETRO-VIRUS? SUPPRESS IT? NO.
RESTRICT IT? ABSOLUTELY.
ONLY THE PEOPLE WHO I WAN TO HAVE I WILL GET IT.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO ME? YOU GOING TO KILL ME? ( computer ) ALL LIVING TISSUE WILL BE VAPORIZED.
ALL LIVING TISSUE.
THAT INCLUDES YOU.
MICHAEL, UNLOCK THE DOOR! ( warning buzzer beeping ) ( computer ) THREE, TWO, ONE.
MICHAEL, OPEN THE DOOR! WHEN WE RETURN, THE PATTERN BEHIND IT ALL.
HOW THESE APPARENTLY DIFFEREN RESEARCH DEVELOPMENTS ARE ACTUALLY CONNECTED.
( ) ( ) LONGEVITY STUDIES, NEURAL PROGRAMMING, CELLULAR REGENERATION NOW AT FIRST GLANCE THESE WOULD ALL SEEM TO BE SEPARATE AND DISTINCT AREAS OF RESEARCH, BUT ACCORDING TO YOU, SIR, THEY ARE NOT.
NO, THEY'RE NOT.
YOU SEE, ALL OF THOSE PROCEDURES ARE BASED ON PHYSICAL ALTERATION OF HUMAN GENETIC MATERIAL.
SO THE KEY IS TRANSFORMATION? YES, CHANGING ONE THING, ONE HUMAN THING, INTO ANOTHER.
THE REASON FOR THAT JUST A MOMENT PLEASE.
WE'RE GETTING WORD THA THERE IS ANOTHER BROADCAS GOING OUT OVER SEVERAL OF THE MAJOR NEWS NETWORKS NOW.
IT'S BEING PICKED UP.
CAN WE BRING THAT UP? OKAY HERE WE GO.
AND I REITERATE THA AFFILIATED TECHNOLOGIES IS SIMPLY THE NETWORK'S PARENT CORPORATION.
WE AREN'T INVOLVED IN DAY-TO-DAY PROGRAMMING.
HOWEVER WE'RE APPALLED THAT THEY WOULD ALLOW THIS KIND OF SENSATIONALISM ON THE AIR.
IS THIS A PUBLICTY STUNT? COME ON, THE NAME OF THE SHOW NOTWITHSTANDING, DONALD RIVERS IS OBVIOUSLY INTERESTED IN ONE THING, AND THAT'S RATINGS.
JUST ONE MORE, PLEASE.
CAN YOU TELL US ANYTHING ABOUT HIS SOURCE? WE HAVE I ON EXCELLENT AUTHORITY THAT HIS SO-CALLED SOURCE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MENTALLY ILL INDIVIDUAL WHO IS BEING USED IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY.
THIS KIND OF THING REALLY INFLAMES THE PUBLIC, CAN MAKE SOME PEOPLE DO CRAZY THINGS.
THAT'S ALL WE HAVE FOR NOW, THANK YOU.
MY PRODUCER HAS JUST INFORMED ME THAT A NUMBER OF OUR AFFILIATES ARE HAVING PROBLEMS RECEIVING OUR NETWORK FEED.
WE'RE LEARNING THAT SEVERAL STATIONS HAVE BEEN ORDERED BY THEIR CORPORATE OWNERS TO DROP THIS BROADCAST ENTIRELY.
I CAN ONLY URGE OUR AFFILIATES TO PLEASE STAY THE COURSE, KEEP US ON THE AIR.
WE ARE DEPENDING ON YOU TO LET THE TRUTH COME OUT.
YOU KNOW, OVER THE YEARS, I'VE DONE OVER A HUNDRED REPORTS AND EXPOSES.
I'VE DEVELOPED, I'D LIKE TO THINK, THE INSTINCTS TO KNOW WHEN SOMETHING IS RIGHT OR WRONG.
AND TIME AND AGAIN, YOU PEOPLE HAVE PLACED YOUR TRUST IN ME.
I LIKE TO THINK THAT TRUST HAS BEEN REWARDED.
WHAT I'M SHOWING YOU TONIGH IS THE TRUTH.
TRUST IN ME ONE MORE TIME.
THERE WILL ALWAYS BE PEOPLE WHO WILL TRY TO HIDE THE TRUTH AND POISON IT, MURDER IT.
AND TONIGHT, WE'RE NO GOING TO GIVE THEM THAT CHANCE, ISN'T THAT RIGHT? THAT'S RIGHT.
I'M HONORED TO INTRODUCE MY SOURCE, DR.
AVERY STRONG.
WELCOME, DOCTOR.
THIS IS THE MAN YOUR GOVERNMEN IS TRYING TO DISCREDIT, BUT THEY WON'T SUCCEED, BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW THEY'RE PLANNING TO DO IT, HOW THEY'RE PLANNING TO DRAG HIS NAME THROUGH THE MUD.
WE'RE GOING TO FACE THEIR ACCUSATIONS HEAD ON AND PRE-EMPT THEM IF YOU'RE READY.
( sighing ) YES.
PLEASE.
WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE IS HIDDEN-CAMERA FOOTAGE TAKEN TWO YEARS AGO INSIDE THE PENTAGON.
WATCH.
MR.
RANDAL STRONG, WELCOME.
MR.
CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU.
I'M GRATEFUL THAT THE COMMITTEE HAS GRANTED ME A HEARING.
MR.
CHAIRMAN, IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS, I HAVE BEEN CONDUCTING RESEARCH.
I'VE COME TO THE INESCAPABLE CONCLUSION THAT THE UNITED STATES, QUITE POSSIBLY THE ENTIRE WORLD, IS BEING OVERRUN BY ALIENS.
I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE THE GREATEST THREA WE'VE EVER FACED AS A NATION.
WE HAVE TO ACT.
WE HAVE TO ACT NOW.
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
YOU'RE PARANOID.
NO, SIR.
UNDERSTANDABLY DISTRESSED.
I SEE A THREAT.
YOU SEE DELUSIONS.
I BEG YOUR PARDON, SIR! THIS HEARING IS OVER.
GOODBYE.
DR.
STRONG, WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH YOU? THE MAN IN THE TAPE, THE ONE WHO SHOT THE CHAIRMAN, HE WAS MY BROTHER RANDAL.
HE WAS INSTITUTIONALIZED AFTER TESTIFYING TO THAT COMMITTEE.
HE HASN' SPOKEN A WORD SINCE.
AND WE'VE OBTAINED ARMY MEDICAL RECORDS INDICATING THAT YOUR BROTHER WAS AN UNSTABLE INDIVIDUAL.
HE'S SUFFERING FROM PARANOID DELUSIONS AND POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS DISORDER.
RANDAL HAD HIS PROBLEMS.
IT WAS NO SECRET.
THERE ARE SIMILAR FILES ON YOU.
THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME OU TO BE SOME LUNATIC SO THAT PEOPLE WILL THINK EVERYTHING I'M TELLING YOU IS SOME TWISTED ATTEMP AT REVENGE BY AN UNSTABLE MAN WHO BLAMES THE GOVERNMEN FOR THE LOSS OF HIS BROTHER.
IF NOT REVENGE, THEN WHAT IS YOUR MOTIVE FOR COMING FORWARD? BECAUSE OF WHAT I SAW.
I WAS PART OF A MILITARY RESEARCH TEAM, A PROJECT TO TRANSFORM HUMANS INTO ALIEN LIFEFORMS.
AND WHEN YOU SAY ALIEN, YOU MEAN EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL.
YES, IT WAS PURELY THEORETICAL AT FIRST.
EVERYBODY TREATED I KIND OF LIKE A JOKE.
THEN IT STOPPED BEING FUNNY.
WE HAVE SOME SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE FILES.
YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS.
( Dr.
Avery Strong ) WE WERE GIVEN A SAMPLE OF ALIEN DNA.
AND WE IMPLANTED THE GENETIC MATERIAL IN A VOLUNTEER.
AT LEAS I THINK HE WAS A VOLUNTEER.
HE STARTED TO CHANGE IN SMALL WAYS AT FIRST.
THEN IT ACCELERATED.
( groaning ) HE WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN.
I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE! YOU HEAR ME?! YOU CAN'T TOUCH MY SOUL! GOD KNOWS.
( alarm sounding ) HE NEARLY DIED MORE THAN ONCE.
SET! CLEAR! AFTER A WHILE IT WAS HARD EVEN TO LOOK HIM IN THE EYE.
SERGEANT, I'M DR.
STRONG.
I'M HERE TO TEST YOUR SENSORY ACCUITY.
YOUR HEARING.
THAT'S INCREDIBLE.
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US ABOUT IT BEFORE? NEVER SHOW YOUR ADVANTAGE TO THE ENEMY.
WE'RE NOT I'M NOT YOUR ENEMY.
THERE IS A REASON BEHIND THIS.
THERE HAS TO BE.
WE'VE ALL GO JOBS TO DO.
WHAT IS YOURS? THEY NEVER TOLD US WHY WE WERE DOING IT OR WHAT FOR.
THEN THEY TOLD US TO FORGET IT EVER HAPPENED.
YES WELL, OF COURSE YOU COULDN' FORGET THAT.
I COULDN'T GET THE IMAGE OF THAT MAN OUT OF MY MIND.
I HAD TO KNOW WHY.
I STILL HAD MY SECURITY CLEARANCE.
I STARTED LOOKING AROUND IN PLACES I SHOULDN'T HAVE.
IT TOOK YEARS TO PUT IT TOGETHER, BUT I'M CONVINCED THAT THIS PROJEC WAS JUST ANOTHER STEP IN PERFECTING PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES ON HUMAN BEINGS.
THE TERRIFYING REASON WHY IN JUST A MOMENT.
( ) ( ) PUT THIS TOGETHER FOR US, DOCTOR.
YOU BEGIN WITH RAW GENETIC MATERIAL, LIVING OR EVEN DEAD.
THEN YOU REGENERATE THE CELLS, REBUILD THE TISSUE, ACCELERATE THE CELL GROWTH, SHAPE I TO WHATEVER FORM YOU WANT.
AND THEN YOU REPROGRAM THE NEURAL PATHWAYS.
AND YOU GET? A REPLACEMEN FOR ANYONE YOU WANT HUMAN LIKE A CLONE, BUT BETTER BECAUSE YOU CAN MAKE IT THINK AND ACT AND TALK ANY WAY YOU WANT IT TO.
GO ON.
THE GOVERNMENT IS ATTEMPTING TO REPLACE POWERFUL INDIVIDUALS USING THIS TECHNIQUE, WORLD LEADERS WITH EXACT DUPLICATES COMPLETELY UNDER THEIR CONTROL.
PERFECT FOR ESPIONAGE.
OR DISINFORMATION, PROPAGANDA.
OR SIMPLY MANIPULATION OF CRITICAL PEOPLE AT CRITICAL TIMES.
CONSIDER THE CASE OF MASON STARK, CEO OF THE EIGENPHASE CORPORATION, THE DEFENSE DEPARTMEN CONTRACTOR WHOSE VERY PUBLIC DISAGREEMENTS WITH THE PENTAGON WERE RECENTLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY SETTLED.
IN THIS EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE, AN EXPERIMENT LOG RECOVERED FROM AN ABANDONED GOVERNMENT LABORATORY, WE SEE MR.
STARK COMING FACE TO FACE WITH WHA CAN ONLY BE CLONES OF HIMSELF.
HELLO? HELLO? OH, GREAT! ANOTHER ONE THA LOOKS LIKE ME! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! I CAN'T LOOK AT THESE OTHER TWO GUYS ANY LONGER! AND YOU BRING ANOTHER ONE! YEAH, COME OVER HERE! JUST WAIT! I'LL TAKE YOUR HEAD OFF! HELP! NO.
IS THE CURRENT MR.
STARK TRULY WHO HE SEEMS TO BE? AT THIS POIN WE CAN'T ANSWER THAT QUESTION.
NONE OF OUR CALLS TO MR.
STARK OR HIS REPRESENTATIVES WERE RETURNED.
THE WHOLE TRUTH HAS TURNED OVER COPIES OF THIS FOOTAGE TO THE PROPER AUTHORITIES FOR FURTHER INVESTIGATION.
NEXT, WE'LL EXAMINE OTHER POSSIBLE CLONE REPLACEMENTS, PEOPLE WHO ARE WALKING THE CORRIDORS OF POWER EVEN ( power shutting down ) ARE WE STILL ON THE AIR? PICTURE'S STILL UP.
STUDIO POWER MUST BE DOWN.
OPEN THAT DOOR! ( gunshots ) ( woman screaming ) THEY WON' TAKE ME ALIVE.
I WON'T END UP LIKE MY BROTHER.
BUT WE'RE NOT FINISHED.
EVERYBODY OUT! USE THE TUNNELS! GET THE HAND-HELD! STAY WITH US! STAY WITH US! HURRY, DONALD.
NOT MUCH JUICE LEFT.
USE WHAT YOU GOT.
LET'S GO! SWITCH TO REMOTE! REMOTE! GOT IT.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE WITH ME, THEN DON'T.
GO FOR SHELTER SOMEWHERE.
I NEED SANDRA, COLIN, AVERY.
ARE THEY COMING AFTER US? WHAT ABOUT SECURITY? WERE THEY STILL IN FRONT? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHO IS TRYING TO INTERRUPT THIS BROADCAS OR HOW LONG WE'LL CONTINUE CAREFUL GOING THROUGH THERE.
WE'LL STAY ON THE AIR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
WE'RE NOT SURE HOW MUCH POWER WE'VE GOT LEFT.
BUT STAY WITH US.
WE'LL SEE HOW THIS TURNS OUT.
WE HAVE IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOU STILL, AND WE WILL BE BACK.
YOU'RE WATCHING THE WHOLE TRUTH.
FORGIVE US IF OUR PRODUCTION VALUES AREN'T UP TO STANDARD TODAY.
WE'RE BROADCASTING LIVE VIA REMOTE AND UNSURE AT THIS MOMEN WHAT THE SITUATION IS BACK AT THE STUDIO.
AS FAR AS WE KNOW, WE AREN'T BEING FOLLOWED.
JUST BECAUSE WE CAN'T SEE THEM DOESN'T MEAN THEY'RE NOT THERE.
WELL, YES, VERY TRUE.
WE'RE GOING TO SHOW YOU HIDDEN CAMERA FOOTAGE TAKEN AT GREAT PERSONAL RISK BY DR.
STRONG.
THIS WILL SHOW THE GOVERNMENT'S SECRET CLONING FACILITIES.
UH, SANDRA, PLEASE.
( Dr.
Strong ) THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF BABIES, CLONES IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DEVELOPMEN EVERYWHERE I LOOKED.
IT WAS LIKE LIVESTOCK, RAW MATERIAL.
IT WAS HORRIBLE.
WE ARE EN ROUTE TO THAT FACILITY AT THIS VERY MOMENT.
WE'LL CONFRON THE PEOPLE WHO RUN I AND FIND OUT IF THEY TRULY HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.
WE'LL TAKE A BREAK NOW.
PLEASE STAY WITH US.
AND WE'RE CLEAR.
THEY'LL NEVER LET US IN, DONALD.
LET THEM EXPLAIN THA TO A NATIONAL TELEVISION AUDIENCE.
THIS ISN' AN ALIEN AUTOPSY HOAX.
THIS IS REAL.
PLEASE THAT MAKES PEOPLE NERVOUS.
IT'S DESIGNED TO DO THAT.
THAT ATTITUDE PUT YOUR BROTHER AWAY.
RANDAL DID WHAT WAS NECESSARY.
SO WILL I.
YOU ALREADY ARE, AVERY.
PLEASE, ALL OF US ARE.
I'M SORRY SORRY.
HOW MUCH FURTHER IS IT TO THE LAB? WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE BY NOW.
WE LOSE NETWORK FEED IN 15 MINUTES.
THEY WON'T CUT AWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.
I'LL CUT IN LIVE WHEN WE GET TO THE LAB.
WE OWE THE AFFILIATES ANOTHER COMMERCIAL.
I'LL HAVE THEM RUN PSAs ( brakes screeching ) WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE?! WE'VE LOST OUR SATELLITE UPLINK.
HOW DO WE GET IT BACK? I DON'T KNOW.
THE BOARD LOOKS FINE.
THE PROBLEM DIDN' COME FROM HERE.
THERE'S SOMETHING VERY WRONG HERE.
WAIT! WAIT! WE'RE BACK.
OKAY, LET'S GO.
IN FIVE, FOUR, THREE AS PROMISED, WE ARE STILL REPORTING DONALD, WAIT.
THIS ISN' OUR SIGNAL.
WHAT? LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SOMETHING TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED HERE.
AVERY STRONG LIED TO ME, LIED TO ALL OF US.
AND EVERYTHING HE SAID, EVERYTHING HE SHOWED US HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A FABRICATION, A HOAX.
EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SEEN, EVERYTHING YOU'VE HEARD DID YOU GO TO TAPE? NO.
I NEVER RECORDED ANY OF THIS STUFF.
A DERANGED MAN, JUS A VERY SICK MIND.
IT'S ALL IN HIS SUICIDE NOTE.
UH, AVERY STRONG IS DEAD.
AND, UM KILLED HIMSELF.
IT ALL HAPPENED SO FAST.
HE WEN ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.
HE JUS STARTED SHOOTING.
AND IN THE PROCESS, SHOT MY PRODUCER, MY CREW.
ONLY MY DRIVER AND I GOT OUT IN TIME.
AND, UM, I I CAN ONLY ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS TRAGEDY.
I'VE NOTIFIED THE AUTHORITIES.
THEY SHOULD BE HERE SHORTLY.
UH AND TO YOU, THE AUDIENCE, I CAN ONLY APOLOGIZE FOR BEING GULLIBLE.
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.
I'M A PROFESSIONAL, AND, UH, I'M SORRY TO YOU AND TO THESE GOOD PEOPLE.
I'M SO I'M SORRY.
THAT, UM ( Rivers ) WHO'S THERE? WHO ARE YOU? I'M NOT GOING LIKE RANDAL.
( Sandra ) OH, MY GOD! YOU WERE TELLING THE TRUTH.
NO HARD FEELINGS.
THERE'S PLENTY MORE WHERE HE CAME FROM.
YOU'RE ONE HELL OF A REPORTER, DONALD.
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE STORY OF A LIFETIME.
DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DO NOW.
THE PEOPLE SAW EVERYTHING.
OH, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEE ENOUGH.
AND BY TOMORROW, THEY'LL BE STARTING TO FORGET.
BECAUSE AS IMPORTANT AS YOU ARE AND AS INFLUENTIAL AS YOUR PROGRAM IS IN THE END IT'S JUST A TV SHOW.
AND YOU'VE BEEN REPLACED.
( gunshots ) ( control voice ) WE RELY UPON OTHERS TO INFORM US, BUT WISDOM CAN NEVER BE TAUGHT.
AND WE MUST ALWAYS DECIDE THE TRUTH FOR OURSELVES.
( gunshot )
