Quantum Leap s03e22 Episode Script
Shock Theater - October 3, 1954
Dr Sam Beckett stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished.
He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better.
His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear.
And so Dr Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.
' (THUNDER) Hey, what's going on here? Nobody punches me and gets away with it, nobody! Butch? What are you doing? Dr Masters wanted me to calm him down.
So I'm gonna calm him down.
You're not giving him shock treatment? Shock? You watch me.
Oh, no! You know the rules.
Only a doctor's allowed to administer shock.
A doctor told me to do it and that's close enough.
Just wait a second.
I wanna get Dr Masters, OK? No, Butch, please, no! No, you can't do that.
That's too high.
You'll kill him! (MUFFLED) Oh, no! Butcher and a baker, candlestick maker Butcher, baker, candlestick maker You're the butcher.
I know you're the butcher.
(WHISTLES) Mr Biederman's back! He's feeling much better now.
The more you lunatics take a swing at me, you'd better believe I'll make sure you feel much better, too.
Man, he's been in recovery for four hours.
Dr Masters must have zapped him a good one.
Yeah.
Yeah, he did.
Did you kill him? Not today.
You tried to, though, didn't you? Go finish your puzzle, Tibby.
Didn't you? Didn't you? If I'd tried, I would have done it.
I mean it, go play with your puzzle or you won't get ice-cream tonight.
I mean it.
You don't like him? That's why you keep hurting him.
I keep hurting him cos I don't like you, Tibby.
So, if he dies, it's gonna be all your fault.
(THUNDER) (LAUGHS) That ain't Mr Biederman.
It ain't! It ain't! Yeah? Who is it, Tibby? I don't know, but it ain't Mr Biederman.
Well, maybe Biederman's dead and I brought back a stranger in his place.
No, he ain't dead, but that ain't him.
When you figure it out, you come tell me.
I won't tell you nothing.
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
You'd better not make me mad, Tibby.
You don't like it when I get mad.
Boo! (LAUGHS) You shouldn't have come here, man.
These folks are crazy.
They won't help you, you know.
They're just looking for a chance to make you die.
They are No, we're not, Tibby.
The Butcher's trying to kill him.
Go to your spot, Tibby.
Go right now.
It is kinda weird, don't you think? Weird? What's happened with Mr Biederman since he got here.
He was down at first, then suddenly What happened to Mr Biederman happens to lots of people.
Yeah.
They get committed and then go crazy.
Personally, I think he'd be better off if he just went home.
You get my vote on that one.
It's good for Mr Biederman that you're not a doctor yet, Freddie.
Yeah, well, I hope he isn't stuck here till I get to be one.
I've been a nurse here for ten years, Freddie.
I've seen all kinds.
Sam Biederman is a classic depressive.
He's in here now because he needs our help.
Sam, you get to use your own name this time.
That's why he's here with us.
I thought the guy in the waiting room looked bad.
Sam, you look terrible.
Hey, how are you feeling? Er I f-f-feel He's had kind of a rough time, Freddie.
He might not recognise you right away.
Of course he wouldn't recognise him.
He's never seen him before.
Sam, you're Sam Biederman.
You're in Havenwell Hospital for .
.
acuteacute I hope it's not nerves.
Oh, acute depression.
Sam, it's Nurse Chatam, Sam.
And you recognise Freddie? Freddie? Sure, we're old buddies, right? Wanna say hello, Sam? (WEAKLY) Hello.
Know where you are, Sam? Of course he does.
I just told him.
Sam, tell 'em you know where you are so they won't think you're a nut case.
I'm a nut case? No! You're not.
No, you just had a treatment and now you're a little tired.
The guy that's in the waiting room, I think he's got some chemical problems.
He seems a little more disoriented than usual.
Go get Dr Masters.
I've got Dr Beeks working full-out on this.
But she won't have any results for What? No, don't leave me here.
Just cool it Don't leave me here! He'll be right back.
It's OK.
You shocked me! Sam, they gave you electro-shock treatment? God! I don't wanna stay here.
Don't worry, I'll get you out.
Sam I'm very sorry about what happened.
Sorry? It looks like you tried to kill him.
Sam, everything's going to be all right.
It won't happen again, I promise.
I don't wanna stay here.
You're weak.
You need to rest.
No! Sam, take it easy.
I got Ziggy working overtime on this.
Please, Sam, if you don't calm down I remember you.
You gave me a .
.
electro-shock.
I'm sorry, Sam.
It shouldn't have happened.
Sam, all we have to do is figure out why you're here.
Then all you have to do is what you have to do.
Then get the hell out! OK, OK, well Then you tell me now so that I can go home.
What do you want me to tell you? How to get out! OK, but first, we gotta get rid of Florence Nightingale here.
The way to do that is, you've gotta chill out.
OK, Sam, Dr Masters will be here in a minute.
I forgot she called in the cavalry.
When he gets here, I want you to be calm, OK, Sam? Promise me.
Sam, stop it.
Sam, do you promise? OK.
Come on back down.
You gotta promise.
All right, Sam.
No more shocks, no more shocks.
Does he know who he is? Er, he seems to.
He's not Mr Biederman.
(GASPS) You get away from me! Get him outta here! Stay back, boys.
Get him Keep away Do you know who I am, Sam? No.
Do you recognise Nurse Chatam? No.
I don't know anyone.
And I don't care what he says, I don't have to help anybody do anything.
I don't! Who the hell is he talking to? I told you to stay back! Why don't you have some help, Sam? AL: Sam, listen to me.
These people can't see me.
I am a hologram tuned to your mind.
I'm here to help you.
They can't see you? No.
Then how are you gonna help me get out? Do you know who you are, Sam? You are Sam Biederman.
You have a wife, no children.
You're here because you have an acute case of depression.
No.
Do you remember who you are, Sam? No! You're Sam No.
No, I'm not.
I'm Samantha.
Stormer.
Samantha Stormer.
And Oh, my Oh, my, what a storm.
I'm an executive secretary.
At a national motor company.
In In Detroit, Michigan.
You know that, silly.
It's 1961.
And I'm 26 .
.
years old.
And, one day Some day, I'm gonna join the design programme with Gloria.
I'm here because I hit Buddy Wright.
Aren't I? That's it, isn't it? Isn't it? That's it.
My God, they .
.
pushed you over the line.
(WHIMPERS) I can't believe this is happening.
I really shouldn't be punished.
You know that, don't you? Buddy Wright deserved a lot more than a punch in the jaw.
Could I have a cigarette? Please? Don't tell Gloria.
She doesn't like me smoking in the apartment, thank you.
They don't let me smoke at work either.
Oh, thank you.
Get Dr Wickless up here immediately.
Gushie, get Dr Beeks on the scene as soon as possible.
We got problems, big-time.
How long has he been like this? Well, er, he was a little disoriented when he first woke up from his therapy.
So, you see, it's all just been a misunderstanding.
Sam, Sam You are a scientist named Sam Beckett.
Dr Sam Beckett.
Beckett I know a Sam Beckett back in Elk Ridge, Illinois.
Indiana! Indiana.
Who's Sam Beckett? Oh Just a boy I knew a long time ago.
Yeah, you were a boy and then you grew up and then you built a time machine Was he a friend of yours, Sam? .
.
you called Project Quantum Leap.
I don't remember.
You don't remember whether he was your friend or not? Of course he remembers.
When you completed it, you tried an experiment that sent you travelling back through time, reliving little pieces of other people's lives.
Samantha, can you hear me? Doctor, is he in a trance? I think he's listening to someone.
What's he looking at? The guy! The guy in the red jacket! You can see me? Sure.
Nice jacket.
Oh, great.
I'm tuned into little kids, tuned into dogs, and now I'm tuned into the mentally absent.
Why not blondes? What is it, Tibby? Don't you say anything! Or they're gonna put you in a hole so deep under this place, you'll never get out! Nothing.
Never mind.
I don't understand what's happening.
I think Mr Biederman is splitting into a very rare psychosis known as multiple personality disorder.
When the human mind can't deal with something, it creates a whole new personality that can.
But why? Oh, great.
Now they think you're Cybil.
We've gotta talk, Sam.
Samantha.
Samantha, I want you to tell them that your name is Sam Biederman, that you're very tired after your therapy.
And, Samantha, if you don't, you'll never get out of here.
Tell them.
Doctor Yeah? I'm Sam Biederman.
And I'm very tired after my therapy.
I was just wondering, could I take a nap? But I would like to talk to Samantha.
Well, yes, I know, but I'm really I'm so very, very tired from my therapy.
Couldn't I just take a nap, doctor? OK, Mr Biederman, you rest for a while and we'll talk later.
OK.
Thank you.
Don't tell Gloria.
No.
OK.
He's looking at you like you were a frog in Bio 101.
Ha, ha! But you did well, Sam.
You did very well.
I don't understand what just happened.
I think the voices he's been listening to told him to say he was Biederman so we'd go away.
I want an observation room prepared for him immediately.
What is it, doctor? Mr Biederman's showing signs of multiple personality disorder.
Nurse Chatam is preparing an observation room (THUNDER) (ELECTRONIC SQUEAKS) Now what? Well, I can't locate Dr Beeks.
She's the shrink.
I need her.
You said you could help me get outta here.
I don't really like it here.
Sam, the only way you're gonna leap outta here is if you can keep Biederman I mean, if we can keep you from getting your brain fried by Dr Frankenstein! (THUNDERCLAP) Who are you? I'm Al.
I'm your buddy.
I gave you your first break.
You're the only person who believed in me when I gave up believing in myself.
You brought me on this project.
Whywhy couldn't anyone else see you? (THUNDER) Well, it's like I told you.
I'm a hologram.
And I'm tuned into your brain waves.
Look, see, I can't touch you, I can't touch anything.
You and everything around you is a hologram to me.
How did you do that? Because I'm not here.
I'm 43 years in the future.
Hey, keep your hands outta me, will you? God.
I gotta check my medication.
Can anyone else see you? I don't know.
Er, can any of you guys see me? (GIGGLES) Yeah, I can.
He can.
Are you really from the future? Yeah.
My name is Tibby.
Tibby Johnson.
I'm from right here in Havenwell, Pennsylvania.
Am I in the future? Yeah, sure, you are.
Sam, Sam! Now he's gone to sleep.
What is it like in the future? What is it like? I mean, is it Is it real clean? Are there cars that float on air? No, er The air is filthy and the cars are still on the ground.
But we're working on it, Tibby.
I like your threads.
Gushie, where the hell is Beeks? Who's Gushie? The programmer.
Well, never mind.
I'll find her myself.
Listen, Tibby, when Sam wakes up, would you tell him Her, her, her.
Him, him, him! Tell him that I'll be right back and not to talk to anyone, OK? But, please, will you tell me about the future? (THUNDER) A little later, OK? Keep an eye on him for me, Tibby.
Wow! Man, oh, man, I love that future stuff! (MAN CHANTS) What if he's developed more than one personality? That's what I hope these tests will show.
Yesterday, Mr Biederman was a manic depressive.
And now he's created a whole new world for himself.
Samantha Stormer seems so real to him.
A distinct secondary personality with her own life, job, friends, problems, eight years in the future.
It doesn't follow any cases I've read about.
The Cook girl was the only multiple personality disorder I've actually interacted with.
Hers was a result of childhood trauma.
But Sam, he's created a whole personality totally unrelated to anything he's ever experienced.
And everything takes place in the future.
This has never happened before.
It's the aspect of time displacement that fascinates me.
Perhaps we should perform some of these tests under sodium amytal.
Dr Masters, Mr Biederman is still a patient here in need of our help.
I'm a little worried that this type of research may overshadow our interest in him as a person.
If I become overzealous, I'm sure Dr Wickless will let me know.
Thank you.
Hi, Al.
Hi, Tibby.
Oh, any word on my future? Yeah, actually, there is.
It's not all good, but that can be changed.
As a matter of fact, you're the reason Sam ended up in this asylum in the first place.
She was here to get me out? He.
Yes, yes.
But now I'm gonna do it, OK? Oh, OK, OK.
How did you get in here? Headache.
(THUNDER) I used to get real bad headaches when I was little.
They used to make me crazy.
My folks brought me here to get fixed.
They never came back.
Too many kids, not enough food.
I'm not mad at them, though.
I'm not.
How's your head now? Oh, I still get 'em, but I don't tell nobody.
No, no, no.
Ziggy says you've got mild Downs Syndrome.
Let's see, you're outta here in seven years and you end up in the streets.
Well, if we could find a way to change that Oh, Sam, I'm glad you're awake.
Listen, I think we've got it figured out.
Ziggy says there's a 94% chance that you're here to help Tibby.
You're here to help Tibby.
You are.
You are, you are! He can't help if you keep talking like you're missing a few bolts.
Help him do what? Well, what we've gotta do is make sure that when he gets out of this loony bin, he doesn't end up on the streets.
You know, set him up with a job.
Hey, Biederman! Get your things together.
In a loony bin? We like to call it "an institution for the mentally unstable".
Sam, let me know what's going on inside that noggin of yours, will you? Sam? Who are you talking to? Right, Samantha.
Just get your stuff together.
Masters wants you moved.
Samantha? My name's Tyler.
Jesse Tyler.
I only sat down at that lunch counter cos I was hungry.
I don't belong to no loony bin.
Oh, no, Sam.
No is right.
I don't think you should punish people cos they're hungry.
I had money.
Yes, sir.
Now, I know that colour matters to you, but it shouldn't.
Cos I hadI had money.
I'd better go get Masters.
Don't do this, Sam.
Masters? Sam, it took us full power to get me back here this time.
All you have to do is save Tibby and then you can leave.
(LAUGHS) I can't leave.
Son, I can't hardly walk.
I got rheumatism, you know.
Sam, Ziggy says there's an 82% chance .
.
that, if you keep switching in and out .
.
to these people that you've leapt into .
.
we could lose contact .
.
forever.
Would you like to play a little game with me, Jesse? I'm too old to be playing games.
Besides I can't read.
No, you don't have to read.
I just want you to look at some pictures and tell me what you think you see.
Please.
Sit down.
It's OK, Sam.
I got power.
I'm here.
This is Jesse Tyler, a second personality.
He seems to be a 70-year-old negro who feels unjustly persecuted in some sort of civil rights disturbance.
He believes he's living in 1955.
Hmm.
MASTERS: You just tell me what you see.
It's a mess.
This ain't no picture.
He wants you to use your imagination, Sam.
Sure there is.
Look a little closer.
Bird chitlins.
A whole mess of bird chitlins.
(LAUGHTER) All right, all right.
Now this one.
Try this one.
That's blood.
What blood, Jesse? It's Nell's blood.
They ran my granddaughter off the road, and I found her.
She was bleeding bad.
Miss Bailey and me, we took her to the hospital.
But it was a white hospital and they wouldn't take her.
Miss Bailey told 'em, "You had just better.
" I knew what to do.
"I think she severed an artery.
She'll need a transfusion" I knew the proper medical procedure.
And I told those doctors That's because you're a medical doctor.
But I thought you said you couldn't read? Sam Beckett is a doctor.
What is it, Jesse? Leave him alone.
Sam, you've got seven degrees.
I can't read! Yes, you can.
Then you couldn't know the proper medical procedures.
You can! No, I can't.
No, sir.
We were share croppers.
My folks been slaves.
They didn't do no reading and writing.
Who's he talking to? Dr Masters believes it's an hallucination.
His name is Al.
Dr Wickless, this Al, is that another one of his personalities? No, an external personality would be the aberration of a schizophrenic, not someone with MPD.
One thing about Willis, he tried teaching me, you know.
But no, I'm stubborn as a mule and twice as slow.
Sam, sit back down.
If you have to talk to me, don't look at me any more.
Why not? Are you having a problem with your friend? Because this nozzle here can't see me and I don't want him to think you're more crazy than he already does.
So please, just let Dracula here finish drinking your brain.
What? I said, are you having a problem with your friend? Just sit down, finish the test and we can get the hell outta here.
No problem.
I'm gonna sit right down here and finish this test so we can get the hell outta here.
I don't know who Dracula is.
But I got me a powerful thirst, too.
What's it take to get a man a glass of water? Huh? Round here? Water.
We'll have water in this room from now on.
OK.
What do you see? Well, this here's the subatomic structure of a quark.
What the hell is a quark? I don't know what a quark is, Jesse.
A quark is a micro particle of a proton or neutron.
You've got a degree in quantum physics, too.
Micro thingy Please, Jesse, give it a try.
(WAR CRIES) Jesse? Jesse, it's OK.
This is part of what we're doing.
VC! VC! (WAR CRIES) Ambush! Ambush! Pull back! Pull back! It's an ambush, sir! What's happening? Get out! I didn't do nothing to him.
Get out! Oh, man! Oh, man! Who are you? Where are you? He's VC, sir! Oh, man! Who are you? Oh, man, oh, man! He's VC, sir! Give him your name, rank, and serial number.
Signalman first class, Williams, United States Navy.
Number D195686.
Where are you? Signalman first class, US Navy.
Herbert Williams.
Serial number D195686.
Can you tell me what year it is? Seventy He's in the future again.
Signalman, tell him that all's clear and you just wanna secure for the night.
All's clear and secure for the night! Sleep, sleep.
Sleep, sleep.
You'll stay here.
You'll have a room of your own.
No! You wanna get back to your own camp.
We've gotta secure our own position! Stay here.
No! No! OK, OK.
Sleepsleep.
Whatever you say.
That's it.
Sam, are you awake? Sam? Mm-mm.
Listen, I've figured out what we have to do to help Tibby.
All I have to do is teach him to read.
Al.
Nobody ever tried to teach me nothing.
Well, I'm going to.
I'll try and teach you to read.
But I can't.
I can't read.
I can't learn my ABCs.
I never could.
I could learn music.
I learned all the words to Pig's Foot Pete, and Scrub Me Mama With The Boogie Beat, the very first time.
That's good.
Could you teach me a song from the future? Yeah, I could teach you a song from the future, but that wouldn't help me teach you Wait, maybe it would.
Hey, Sam, you remember that song we put in Ziggy's memory banks a few years ago? No, you wouldn't remember.
We were fooling around with a rap song there.
If I could just access this and maybe get it to play through the handle (HIP HOP BEAT) .
.
that'd be pretty good, huh? That's boogie woogie.
No, this is rap.
I've gotta make up words.
Let's see.
You're a loony toon in a big white room And I'm a hologram from the future I'm moving fast back into the past And I got to say I'm pleased to meet you Cos you're my man, I'm a fan, you gotta understand that you got the power To write, read, it's guaranteed I'm gonna give you what you need Say ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP QRSTUV WXYZ! (THEY JOIN IN) # ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP QRSTUV WXYZ! You're all loony toons in a big white room And I'm a hologram from the future I'm movin' fast back into the past Gotta say I'm pleased to meet you But I gotta say I'm pleased to meet you Well, you're my man, I'm a fan, you gotta understand That you got the power to write, read, that's guaranteed I'm gonna give you what you need! ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP What the hell is going on here? What are you guys doing? You think this is a party? (MUSIC CONTINUES) What are you doing? Stop this! Oh, you think it's funny, Mr Johnson? Hey, you people are gonna have to clean this place up! Stop it! It's rap music.
Sam, that's right.
You remember! You used to hate rap music.
The name's Stratton, little buddy.
Captain Tom Stratton.
This is a loud hospital.
Is Diana in here? Oh, no, not again.
What happened to the X2? Did I do it? Sam, it doesn't matter what you did.
I just saved Tibby! He's gonna learn how to read and get a good job when he gets out Are you feeling all right? Tibby's going to be OK.
So you're ready to leap.
Look, all I wanna know is, did I break Mach Three? Come on, Sam, you gotta leap.
We're running out of time Maybe it was the storm.
I sure as heck don't remember Where'd you go, little buddy? Al? (THUNDER) Hit him, Sam! Hit him! Pop him! Pop, pop, pop! (ECHOES) 'Sam, Sam, it's OK, you're just dreaming.
I'm right here, Sam.
' Stay calm.
Ziggy's only got ten minutes of emergency power.
I've got Dr Beeks here.
And she's got a theory to get you to leap.
Where is she? She's right here.
But you can't see her because she isn't tuned into your brain waves.
Would you like to see her? Er, yeah, sure.
OK.
I can see her, but I can't hear her.
Well, you can't hear her because touching her just brings in the image.
It's kinda weird.
Yeah.
This whole leap is weird, Sam.
The name's not Sam.
It's Kit Cody, OK? You keep saying Sam, I keep looking around for a Sam.
OK, we don't have time to argue about that now.
If you wanna get outta here, you gotta trust me.
I want out.
You got that much right.
I definitely want out.
Everyone here thinks you're Sam Biederman.
But I'm Kit Cody.
No, you're not! You said I was Kit Cody! Not Samantha Stormer OK, you're Dr Samuel Beckett.
You're a quantum physicist and you've been leaping in and out of people's lives.
So, at one time or another, you have been Samantha Stormer, Jesse Tyler, Herbert Williams And Kit Cody.
And Kit Cody, yes.
And Kit Cody.
When you did what was needed to change the people's lives, you leaped out.
So I'm a good guy? Oh, yeah, you're a damned good guy.
Yeah.
But now you're Sam Biederman.
Before you had a chance to change his life, they gave you electroshock treatment.
Hey, no more shocks, OK? The treatment kicked out your ego and left a valley.
It's a valley that's being filled by the memories of all these people you leaped into.
I tell you, I feel a little punch-drunk, that's for sure.
Yeah, well, that's a good definition of it.
What's going on? Sam, I'm gonna have to let Dr Beeks go.
Because it's draining too much power.
Say goodbye.
OK.
Bye, doc.
Huh! Sam? Yeah? I think you can see that we're in danger of losing contact with you.
I don't want that you should lose contact.
Well then, you have to do exactly what I tell you.
OK, what do you want I should do? Dr Beeks says the only way you're gonna get your ego back Yeah? .
.
is if you take another one of those electroshock treatments.
No.
Yes! No, no more shocks.
Yes, Sam.
I just said no! No more shocks! No way, pal.
No more.
Forget it.
Forget the whole thing.
It's the only chance of getting outta here! Sam, yes! You've sure been spending a lot of time with Masters.
I'm a nurse, he's a doctor.
We both happen to work for this hospital.
I just didn't want you making any mistakes.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about Masters finding out what happened to Biederman yesterday.
Mr Biederman came in here as a depressive.
Six weeks later, he's showing signs of violence.
Now he's split into not one but several personalities.
If what you did yesterday has anything to do with it, I will tell Dr Masters.
You were there, too.
Weren't you? Or did you forget that little bit of information? You lied to me.
You told me Dr Masters You know the rules, Nurse Chatam.
Too bad you didn't stop me.
I did try to stop you! But you didn't.
You could have killed him.
WE could have.
Ha, ha! He told us this morning his name was Jimmy LaMotta.
He says he has a real job.
Again, this personality lives in the future.
We can tell from his speech patterns and his physical impediments that the personality of Jimmy is retarded.
Thank you! He calls himself a special person.
Did you pinpoint yet what first brought on this change in behaviour? Dr Masters suspects that the electroshock therapy yesterday might have triggered some traumatic childhood memories.
Mr Biederman's inability to cope with those memories opened a floodgate of people.
People in his mind? People he invented to protect himself.
Wait a minute.
From what? According to his family history, nothing traumatic occurred in his childhood or young adult life that would merit anything like this.
Unless those traumas never registered in his conscious mind.
Hello, doctor.
Hello, Jimmy.
Hi.
Bye, Freddie.
Bye, Jimmy.
Hi.
Hi.
When's lunch? Soon.
Wanna build a ship? What kind of ship, Jimmy? Space ship.
(WHOOSH OF AL MATERIALISING) It's time, Sam.
Tell the doctor that you want another therapy session.
But I don't.
You have to have it or I won't be able to come back.
You come back! Then tell the doctor you want another shock treatment.
Is it your friend, Al? Al said you'd better give Jimmy shock or he go back to the future forever.
Al, don't leave Jimmy! Tell him! He's not gonna leave you, Jimmy.
What's happening? Through all the personality changes, two things have remained constant: an invisible friend named Al and the memory of his last electroshock therapy session.
Sam, I'm running out of time.
Ziggy's out of power.
He's using all he's got just to keep us connected.
Come on, come on.
Jimmy! Let's sit down and play some games.
Tell him! Al says, you give Jimmy shock or Al go away! Al won't go away unless you want him to! Yes, I will! We need to restrain him.
SAM: And it's all Dr Master's fault! It's your fault! All doctor's fault! Jimmy! I'll be gone forever unless you give it him now! Jimmy! Give Jimmy shock! Come here! Get off him! Give Jimmy shock! Al! Help! Give me help! I can't help you unless you get another shock! Get me a straitjacket! He doesn't need a straitjacket! I'll give you a shock, you freak! Prepare for electroshock! Yes, sir.
That'll be two sessions in Nurse, shut up! I said prepare the electric shock room! Let Jimmy go! Let Jimmy go! Get him in there! Come on! No! No! Let Jimmy go! Let Jimmy go! Get him in there! Come on! (ECHOES) No! No! Al Don't leave me.
I won't, Sam.
Don't leave.
I won't, Sam.
Set the voltage.
Doctor, I really think after his session yesterday If you can't perform as a professional, I don't need you in this room.
Do I make myself clear? Sam, tell him you've gotta have the same voltage as yesterday.
Tell him! We're almost there, doctor.
It hurts.
Tell him! You'll be fine.
Everything'll be fine, I promise.
Gushie, turn the power up.
Turn it up to the max! You gotta keep me here.
Come on, Sam.
Tell him, buddy.
I can't hang on much longer.
The same shock as yesterday! The same shock as yesterday! No! Yes! It's gotta be the same as yesterday! The same as Butcher did yesterday! What was the voltage Dr Wickless set yesterday? It wasn't Dr Wickless, it was Butch.
Butch? Yes.
You administered electroshock without a doctor present? I don't remember.
What was the voltage set? It was set at 200.
Now! Now! Give shock now! He got angry cos Sam hit him, so he punished him by turning up the voltage.
That's a lie! You had the audacity to take that kind of control? Do it! Save Jimmy.
I told you to prep them.
Save Sam.
Please, 200.
No, that's too high! Tell him.
.
.
a doctor, now a registered nurse.
Oh, God.
I don't care! Not without medical procedure! You had the audacity to take that kind of control.
All right.
Why would she lie, Butch? Do it! (ARGUMENT CONTINUES) I was doing what you told me! I told you to prep them! Without medical staff present? Put your head down.
Put your head down, Sam! I have never ordered you to administer shocks.
(THUNDER) Do it! Sam? Sam, you OK? Al? You OK? You must sleep with me.
Oh, we did it, Sam.
Sam, what the hell am I doing in this uniform? What's going on, Sam? I think Come here.
Sam, what the hell's happening, huh? BOTH: Oh, boy!
He woke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better.
His only guide on this journey is Al, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Sam can see and hear.
And so Dr Beckett finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap will be the leap home.
' (THUNDER) Hey, what's going on here? Nobody punches me and gets away with it, nobody! Butch? What are you doing? Dr Masters wanted me to calm him down.
So I'm gonna calm him down.
You're not giving him shock treatment? Shock? You watch me.
Oh, no! You know the rules.
Only a doctor's allowed to administer shock.
A doctor told me to do it and that's close enough.
Just wait a second.
I wanna get Dr Masters, OK? No, Butch, please, no! No, you can't do that.
That's too high.
You'll kill him! (MUFFLED) Oh, no! Butcher and a baker, candlestick maker Butcher, baker, candlestick maker You're the butcher.
I know you're the butcher.
(WHISTLES) Mr Biederman's back! He's feeling much better now.
The more you lunatics take a swing at me, you'd better believe I'll make sure you feel much better, too.
Man, he's been in recovery for four hours.
Dr Masters must have zapped him a good one.
Yeah.
Yeah, he did.
Did you kill him? Not today.
You tried to, though, didn't you? Go finish your puzzle, Tibby.
Didn't you? Didn't you? If I'd tried, I would have done it.
I mean it, go play with your puzzle or you won't get ice-cream tonight.
I mean it.
You don't like him? That's why you keep hurting him.
I keep hurting him cos I don't like you, Tibby.
So, if he dies, it's gonna be all your fault.
(THUNDER) (LAUGHS) That ain't Mr Biederman.
It ain't! It ain't! Yeah? Who is it, Tibby? I don't know, but it ain't Mr Biederman.
Well, maybe Biederman's dead and I brought back a stranger in his place.
No, he ain't dead, but that ain't him.
When you figure it out, you come tell me.
I won't tell you nothing.
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
You'd better not make me mad, Tibby.
You don't like it when I get mad.
Boo! (LAUGHS) You shouldn't have come here, man.
These folks are crazy.
They won't help you, you know.
They're just looking for a chance to make you die.
They are No, we're not, Tibby.
The Butcher's trying to kill him.
Go to your spot, Tibby.
Go right now.
It is kinda weird, don't you think? Weird? What's happened with Mr Biederman since he got here.
He was down at first, then suddenly What happened to Mr Biederman happens to lots of people.
Yeah.
They get committed and then go crazy.
Personally, I think he'd be better off if he just went home.
You get my vote on that one.
It's good for Mr Biederman that you're not a doctor yet, Freddie.
Yeah, well, I hope he isn't stuck here till I get to be one.
I've been a nurse here for ten years, Freddie.
I've seen all kinds.
Sam Biederman is a classic depressive.
He's in here now because he needs our help.
Sam, you get to use your own name this time.
That's why he's here with us.
I thought the guy in the waiting room looked bad.
Sam, you look terrible.
Hey, how are you feeling? Er I f-f-feel He's had kind of a rough time, Freddie.
He might not recognise you right away.
Of course he wouldn't recognise him.
He's never seen him before.
Sam, you're Sam Biederman.
You're in Havenwell Hospital for .
.
acuteacute I hope it's not nerves.
Oh, acute depression.
Sam, it's Nurse Chatam, Sam.
And you recognise Freddie? Freddie? Sure, we're old buddies, right? Wanna say hello, Sam? (WEAKLY) Hello.
Know where you are, Sam? Of course he does.
I just told him.
Sam, tell 'em you know where you are so they won't think you're a nut case.
I'm a nut case? No! You're not.
No, you just had a treatment and now you're a little tired.
The guy that's in the waiting room, I think he's got some chemical problems.
He seems a little more disoriented than usual.
Go get Dr Masters.
I've got Dr Beeks working full-out on this.
But she won't have any results for What? No, don't leave me here.
Just cool it Don't leave me here! He'll be right back.
It's OK.
You shocked me! Sam, they gave you electro-shock treatment? God! I don't wanna stay here.
Don't worry, I'll get you out.
Sam I'm very sorry about what happened.
Sorry? It looks like you tried to kill him.
Sam, everything's going to be all right.
It won't happen again, I promise.
I don't wanna stay here.
You're weak.
You need to rest.
No! Sam, take it easy.
I got Ziggy working overtime on this.
Please, Sam, if you don't calm down I remember you.
You gave me a .
.
electro-shock.
I'm sorry, Sam.
It shouldn't have happened.
Sam, all we have to do is figure out why you're here.
Then all you have to do is what you have to do.
Then get the hell out! OK, OK, well Then you tell me now so that I can go home.
What do you want me to tell you? How to get out! OK, but first, we gotta get rid of Florence Nightingale here.
The way to do that is, you've gotta chill out.
OK, Sam, Dr Masters will be here in a minute.
I forgot she called in the cavalry.
When he gets here, I want you to be calm, OK, Sam? Promise me.
Sam, stop it.
Sam, do you promise? OK.
Come on back down.
You gotta promise.
All right, Sam.
No more shocks, no more shocks.
Does he know who he is? Er, he seems to.
He's not Mr Biederman.
(GASPS) You get away from me! Get him outta here! Stay back, boys.
Get him Keep away Do you know who I am, Sam? No.
Do you recognise Nurse Chatam? No.
I don't know anyone.
And I don't care what he says, I don't have to help anybody do anything.
I don't! Who the hell is he talking to? I told you to stay back! Why don't you have some help, Sam? AL: Sam, listen to me.
These people can't see me.
I am a hologram tuned to your mind.
I'm here to help you.
They can't see you? No.
Then how are you gonna help me get out? Do you know who you are, Sam? You are Sam Biederman.
You have a wife, no children.
You're here because you have an acute case of depression.
No.
Do you remember who you are, Sam? No! You're Sam No.
No, I'm not.
I'm Samantha.
Stormer.
Samantha Stormer.
And Oh, my Oh, my, what a storm.
I'm an executive secretary.
At a national motor company.
In In Detroit, Michigan.
You know that, silly.
It's 1961.
And I'm 26 .
.
years old.
And, one day Some day, I'm gonna join the design programme with Gloria.
I'm here because I hit Buddy Wright.
Aren't I? That's it, isn't it? Isn't it? That's it.
My God, they .
.
pushed you over the line.
(WHIMPERS) I can't believe this is happening.
I really shouldn't be punished.
You know that, don't you? Buddy Wright deserved a lot more than a punch in the jaw.
Could I have a cigarette? Please? Don't tell Gloria.
She doesn't like me smoking in the apartment, thank you.
They don't let me smoke at work either.
Oh, thank you.
Get Dr Wickless up here immediately.
Gushie, get Dr Beeks on the scene as soon as possible.
We got problems, big-time.
How long has he been like this? Well, er, he was a little disoriented when he first woke up from his therapy.
So, you see, it's all just been a misunderstanding.
Sam, Sam You are a scientist named Sam Beckett.
Dr Sam Beckett.
Beckett I know a Sam Beckett back in Elk Ridge, Illinois.
Indiana! Indiana.
Who's Sam Beckett? Oh Just a boy I knew a long time ago.
Yeah, you were a boy and then you grew up and then you built a time machine Was he a friend of yours, Sam? .
.
you called Project Quantum Leap.
I don't remember.
You don't remember whether he was your friend or not? Of course he remembers.
When you completed it, you tried an experiment that sent you travelling back through time, reliving little pieces of other people's lives.
Samantha, can you hear me? Doctor, is he in a trance? I think he's listening to someone.
What's he looking at? The guy! The guy in the red jacket! You can see me? Sure.
Nice jacket.
Oh, great.
I'm tuned into little kids, tuned into dogs, and now I'm tuned into the mentally absent.
Why not blondes? What is it, Tibby? Don't you say anything! Or they're gonna put you in a hole so deep under this place, you'll never get out! Nothing.
Never mind.
I don't understand what's happening.
I think Mr Biederman is splitting into a very rare psychosis known as multiple personality disorder.
When the human mind can't deal with something, it creates a whole new personality that can.
But why? Oh, great.
Now they think you're Cybil.
We've gotta talk, Sam.
Samantha.
Samantha, I want you to tell them that your name is Sam Biederman, that you're very tired after your therapy.
And, Samantha, if you don't, you'll never get out of here.
Tell them.
Doctor Yeah? I'm Sam Biederman.
And I'm very tired after my therapy.
I was just wondering, could I take a nap? But I would like to talk to Samantha.
Well, yes, I know, but I'm really I'm so very, very tired from my therapy.
Couldn't I just take a nap, doctor? OK, Mr Biederman, you rest for a while and we'll talk later.
OK.
Thank you.
Don't tell Gloria.
No.
OK.
He's looking at you like you were a frog in Bio 101.
Ha, ha! But you did well, Sam.
You did very well.
I don't understand what just happened.
I think the voices he's been listening to told him to say he was Biederman so we'd go away.
I want an observation room prepared for him immediately.
What is it, doctor? Mr Biederman's showing signs of multiple personality disorder.
Nurse Chatam is preparing an observation room (THUNDER) (ELECTRONIC SQUEAKS) Now what? Well, I can't locate Dr Beeks.
She's the shrink.
I need her.
You said you could help me get outta here.
I don't really like it here.
Sam, the only way you're gonna leap outta here is if you can keep Biederman I mean, if we can keep you from getting your brain fried by Dr Frankenstein! (THUNDERCLAP) Who are you? I'm Al.
I'm your buddy.
I gave you your first break.
You're the only person who believed in me when I gave up believing in myself.
You brought me on this project.
Whywhy couldn't anyone else see you? (THUNDER) Well, it's like I told you.
I'm a hologram.
And I'm tuned into your brain waves.
Look, see, I can't touch you, I can't touch anything.
You and everything around you is a hologram to me.
How did you do that? Because I'm not here.
I'm 43 years in the future.
Hey, keep your hands outta me, will you? God.
I gotta check my medication.
Can anyone else see you? I don't know.
Er, can any of you guys see me? (GIGGLES) Yeah, I can.
He can.
Are you really from the future? Yeah.
My name is Tibby.
Tibby Johnson.
I'm from right here in Havenwell, Pennsylvania.
Am I in the future? Yeah, sure, you are.
Sam, Sam! Now he's gone to sleep.
What is it like in the future? What is it like? I mean, is it Is it real clean? Are there cars that float on air? No, er The air is filthy and the cars are still on the ground.
But we're working on it, Tibby.
I like your threads.
Gushie, where the hell is Beeks? Who's Gushie? The programmer.
Well, never mind.
I'll find her myself.
Listen, Tibby, when Sam wakes up, would you tell him Her, her, her.
Him, him, him! Tell him that I'll be right back and not to talk to anyone, OK? But, please, will you tell me about the future? (THUNDER) A little later, OK? Keep an eye on him for me, Tibby.
Wow! Man, oh, man, I love that future stuff! (MAN CHANTS) What if he's developed more than one personality? That's what I hope these tests will show.
Yesterday, Mr Biederman was a manic depressive.
And now he's created a whole new world for himself.
Samantha Stormer seems so real to him.
A distinct secondary personality with her own life, job, friends, problems, eight years in the future.
It doesn't follow any cases I've read about.
The Cook girl was the only multiple personality disorder I've actually interacted with.
Hers was a result of childhood trauma.
But Sam, he's created a whole personality totally unrelated to anything he's ever experienced.
And everything takes place in the future.
This has never happened before.
It's the aspect of time displacement that fascinates me.
Perhaps we should perform some of these tests under sodium amytal.
Dr Masters, Mr Biederman is still a patient here in need of our help.
I'm a little worried that this type of research may overshadow our interest in him as a person.
If I become overzealous, I'm sure Dr Wickless will let me know.
Thank you.
Hi, Al.
Hi, Tibby.
Oh, any word on my future? Yeah, actually, there is.
It's not all good, but that can be changed.
As a matter of fact, you're the reason Sam ended up in this asylum in the first place.
She was here to get me out? He.
Yes, yes.
But now I'm gonna do it, OK? Oh, OK, OK.
How did you get in here? Headache.
(THUNDER) I used to get real bad headaches when I was little.
They used to make me crazy.
My folks brought me here to get fixed.
They never came back.
Too many kids, not enough food.
I'm not mad at them, though.
I'm not.
How's your head now? Oh, I still get 'em, but I don't tell nobody.
No, no, no.
Ziggy says you've got mild Downs Syndrome.
Let's see, you're outta here in seven years and you end up in the streets.
Well, if we could find a way to change that Oh, Sam, I'm glad you're awake.
Listen, I think we've got it figured out.
Ziggy says there's a 94% chance that you're here to help Tibby.
You're here to help Tibby.
You are.
You are, you are! He can't help if you keep talking like you're missing a few bolts.
Help him do what? Well, what we've gotta do is make sure that when he gets out of this loony bin, he doesn't end up on the streets.
You know, set him up with a job.
Hey, Biederman! Get your things together.
In a loony bin? We like to call it "an institution for the mentally unstable".
Sam, let me know what's going on inside that noggin of yours, will you? Sam? Who are you talking to? Right, Samantha.
Just get your stuff together.
Masters wants you moved.
Samantha? My name's Tyler.
Jesse Tyler.
I only sat down at that lunch counter cos I was hungry.
I don't belong to no loony bin.
Oh, no, Sam.
No is right.
I don't think you should punish people cos they're hungry.
I had money.
Yes, sir.
Now, I know that colour matters to you, but it shouldn't.
Cos I hadI had money.
I'd better go get Masters.
Don't do this, Sam.
Masters? Sam, it took us full power to get me back here this time.
All you have to do is save Tibby and then you can leave.
(LAUGHS) I can't leave.
Son, I can't hardly walk.
I got rheumatism, you know.
Sam, Ziggy says there's an 82% chance .
.
that, if you keep switching in and out .
.
to these people that you've leapt into .
.
we could lose contact .
.
forever.
Would you like to play a little game with me, Jesse? I'm too old to be playing games.
Besides I can't read.
No, you don't have to read.
I just want you to look at some pictures and tell me what you think you see.
Please.
Sit down.
It's OK, Sam.
I got power.
I'm here.
This is Jesse Tyler, a second personality.
He seems to be a 70-year-old negro who feels unjustly persecuted in some sort of civil rights disturbance.
He believes he's living in 1955.
Hmm.
MASTERS: You just tell me what you see.
It's a mess.
This ain't no picture.
He wants you to use your imagination, Sam.
Sure there is.
Look a little closer.
Bird chitlins.
A whole mess of bird chitlins.
(LAUGHTER) All right, all right.
Now this one.
Try this one.
That's blood.
What blood, Jesse? It's Nell's blood.
They ran my granddaughter off the road, and I found her.
She was bleeding bad.
Miss Bailey and me, we took her to the hospital.
But it was a white hospital and they wouldn't take her.
Miss Bailey told 'em, "You had just better.
" I knew what to do.
"I think she severed an artery.
She'll need a transfusion" I knew the proper medical procedure.
And I told those doctors That's because you're a medical doctor.
But I thought you said you couldn't read? Sam Beckett is a doctor.
What is it, Jesse? Leave him alone.
Sam, you've got seven degrees.
I can't read! Yes, you can.
Then you couldn't know the proper medical procedures.
You can! No, I can't.
No, sir.
We were share croppers.
My folks been slaves.
They didn't do no reading and writing.
Who's he talking to? Dr Masters believes it's an hallucination.
His name is Al.
Dr Wickless, this Al, is that another one of his personalities? No, an external personality would be the aberration of a schizophrenic, not someone with MPD.
One thing about Willis, he tried teaching me, you know.
But no, I'm stubborn as a mule and twice as slow.
Sam, sit back down.
If you have to talk to me, don't look at me any more.
Why not? Are you having a problem with your friend? Because this nozzle here can't see me and I don't want him to think you're more crazy than he already does.
So please, just let Dracula here finish drinking your brain.
What? I said, are you having a problem with your friend? Just sit down, finish the test and we can get the hell outta here.
No problem.
I'm gonna sit right down here and finish this test so we can get the hell outta here.
I don't know who Dracula is.
But I got me a powerful thirst, too.
What's it take to get a man a glass of water? Huh? Round here? Water.
We'll have water in this room from now on.
OK.
What do you see? Well, this here's the subatomic structure of a quark.
What the hell is a quark? I don't know what a quark is, Jesse.
A quark is a micro particle of a proton or neutron.
You've got a degree in quantum physics, too.
Micro thingy Please, Jesse, give it a try.
(WAR CRIES) Jesse? Jesse, it's OK.
This is part of what we're doing.
VC! VC! (WAR CRIES) Ambush! Ambush! Pull back! Pull back! It's an ambush, sir! What's happening? Get out! I didn't do nothing to him.
Get out! Oh, man! Oh, man! Who are you? Where are you? He's VC, sir! Oh, man! Who are you? Oh, man, oh, man! He's VC, sir! Give him your name, rank, and serial number.
Signalman first class, Williams, United States Navy.
Number D195686.
Where are you? Signalman first class, US Navy.
Herbert Williams.
Serial number D195686.
Can you tell me what year it is? Seventy He's in the future again.
Signalman, tell him that all's clear and you just wanna secure for the night.
All's clear and secure for the night! Sleep, sleep.
Sleep, sleep.
You'll stay here.
You'll have a room of your own.
No! You wanna get back to your own camp.
We've gotta secure our own position! Stay here.
No! No! OK, OK.
Sleepsleep.
Whatever you say.
That's it.
Sam, are you awake? Sam? Mm-mm.
Listen, I've figured out what we have to do to help Tibby.
All I have to do is teach him to read.
Al.
Nobody ever tried to teach me nothing.
Well, I'm going to.
I'll try and teach you to read.
But I can't.
I can't read.
I can't learn my ABCs.
I never could.
I could learn music.
I learned all the words to Pig's Foot Pete, and Scrub Me Mama With The Boogie Beat, the very first time.
That's good.
Could you teach me a song from the future? Yeah, I could teach you a song from the future, but that wouldn't help me teach you Wait, maybe it would.
Hey, Sam, you remember that song we put in Ziggy's memory banks a few years ago? No, you wouldn't remember.
We were fooling around with a rap song there.
If I could just access this and maybe get it to play through the handle (HIP HOP BEAT) .
.
that'd be pretty good, huh? That's boogie woogie.
No, this is rap.
I've gotta make up words.
Let's see.
You're a loony toon in a big white room And I'm a hologram from the future I'm moving fast back into the past And I got to say I'm pleased to meet you Cos you're my man, I'm a fan, you gotta understand that you got the power To write, read, it's guaranteed I'm gonna give you what you need Say ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP QRSTUV WXYZ! (THEY JOIN IN) # ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP QRSTUV WXYZ! You're all loony toons in a big white room And I'm a hologram from the future I'm movin' fast back into the past Gotta say I'm pleased to meet you But I gotta say I'm pleased to meet you Well, you're my man, I'm a fan, you gotta understand That you got the power to write, read, that's guaranteed I'm gonna give you what you need! ABCDEFG HIJKLMNOP What the hell is going on here? What are you guys doing? You think this is a party? (MUSIC CONTINUES) What are you doing? Stop this! Oh, you think it's funny, Mr Johnson? Hey, you people are gonna have to clean this place up! Stop it! It's rap music.
Sam, that's right.
You remember! You used to hate rap music.
The name's Stratton, little buddy.
Captain Tom Stratton.
This is a loud hospital.
Is Diana in here? Oh, no, not again.
What happened to the X2? Did I do it? Sam, it doesn't matter what you did.
I just saved Tibby! He's gonna learn how to read and get a good job when he gets out Are you feeling all right? Tibby's going to be OK.
So you're ready to leap.
Look, all I wanna know is, did I break Mach Three? Come on, Sam, you gotta leap.
We're running out of time Maybe it was the storm.
I sure as heck don't remember Where'd you go, little buddy? Al? (THUNDER) Hit him, Sam! Hit him! Pop him! Pop, pop, pop! (ECHOES) 'Sam, Sam, it's OK, you're just dreaming.
I'm right here, Sam.
' Stay calm.
Ziggy's only got ten minutes of emergency power.
I've got Dr Beeks here.
And she's got a theory to get you to leap.
Where is she? She's right here.
But you can't see her because she isn't tuned into your brain waves.
Would you like to see her? Er, yeah, sure.
OK.
I can see her, but I can't hear her.
Well, you can't hear her because touching her just brings in the image.
It's kinda weird.
Yeah.
This whole leap is weird, Sam.
The name's not Sam.
It's Kit Cody, OK? You keep saying Sam, I keep looking around for a Sam.
OK, we don't have time to argue about that now.
If you wanna get outta here, you gotta trust me.
I want out.
You got that much right.
I definitely want out.
Everyone here thinks you're Sam Biederman.
But I'm Kit Cody.
No, you're not! You said I was Kit Cody! Not Samantha Stormer OK, you're Dr Samuel Beckett.
You're a quantum physicist and you've been leaping in and out of people's lives.
So, at one time or another, you have been Samantha Stormer, Jesse Tyler, Herbert Williams And Kit Cody.
And Kit Cody, yes.
And Kit Cody.
When you did what was needed to change the people's lives, you leaped out.
So I'm a good guy? Oh, yeah, you're a damned good guy.
Yeah.
But now you're Sam Biederman.
Before you had a chance to change his life, they gave you electroshock treatment.
Hey, no more shocks, OK? The treatment kicked out your ego and left a valley.
It's a valley that's being filled by the memories of all these people you leaped into.
I tell you, I feel a little punch-drunk, that's for sure.
Yeah, well, that's a good definition of it.
What's going on? Sam, I'm gonna have to let Dr Beeks go.
Because it's draining too much power.
Say goodbye.
OK.
Bye, doc.
Huh! Sam? Yeah? I think you can see that we're in danger of losing contact with you.
I don't want that you should lose contact.
Well then, you have to do exactly what I tell you.
OK, what do you want I should do? Dr Beeks says the only way you're gonna get your ego back Yeah? .
.
is if you take another one of those electroshock treatments.
No.
Yes! No, no more shocks.
Yes, Sam.
I just said no! No more shocks! No way, pal.
No more.
Forget it.
Forget the whole thing.
It's the only chance of getting outta here! Sam, yes! You've sure been spending a lot of time with Masters.
I'm a nurse, he's a doctor.
We both happen to work for this hospital.
I just didn't want you making any mistakes.
What are you talking about? I'm talking about Masters finding out what happened to Biederman yesterday.
Mr Biederman came in here as a depressive.
Six weeks later, he's showing signs of violence.
Now he's split into not one but several personalities.
If what you did yesterday has anything to do with it, I will tell Dr Masters.
You were there, too.
Weren't you? Or did you forget that little bit of information? You lied to me.
You told me Dr Masters You know the rules, Nurse Chatam.
Too bad you didn't stop me.
I did try to stop you! But you didn't.
You could have killed him.
WE could have.
Ha, ha! He told us this morning his name was Jimmy LaMotta.
He says he has a real job.
Again, this personality lives in the future.
We can tell from his speech patterns and his physical impediments that the personality of Jimmy is retarded.
Thank you! He calls himself a special person.
Did you pinpoint yet what first brought on this change in behaviour? Dr Masters suspects that the electroshock therapy yesterday might have triggered some traumatic childhood memories.
Mr Biederman's inability to cope with those memories opened a floodgate of people.
People in his mind? People he invented to protect himself.
Wait a minute.
From what? According to his family history, nothing traumatic occurred in his childhood or young adult life that would merit anything like this.
Unless those traumas never registered in his conscious mind.
Hello, doctor.
Hello, Jimmy.
Hi.
Bye, Freddie.
Bye, Jimmy.
Hi.
Hi.
When's lunch? Soon.
Wanna build a ship? What kind of ship, Jimmy? Space ship.
(WHOOSH OF AL MATERIALISING) It's time, Sam.
Tell the doctor that you want another therapy session.
But I don't.
You have to have it or I won't be able to come back.
You come back! Then tell the doctor you want another shock treatment.
Is it your friend, Al? Al said you'd better give Jimmy shock or he go back to the future forever.
Al, don't leave Jimmy! Tell him! He's not gonna leave you, Jimmy.
What's happening? Through all the personality changes, two things have remained constant: an invisible friend named Al and the memory of his last electroshock therapy session.
Sam, I'm running out of time.
Ziggy's out of power.
He's using all he's got just to keep us connected.
Come on, come on.
Jimmy! Let's sit down and play some games.
Tell him! Al says, you give Jimmy shock or Al go away! Al won't go away unless you want him to! Yes, I will! We need to restrain him.
SAM: And it's all Dr Master's fault! It's your fault! All doctor's fault! Jimmy! I'll be gone forever unless you give it him now! Jimmy! Give Jimmy shock! Come here! Get off him! Give Jimmy shock! Al! Help! Give me help! I can't help you unless you get another shock! Get me a straitjacket! He doesn't need a straitjacket! I'll give you a shock, you freak! Prepare for electroshock! Yes, sir.
That'll be two sessions in Nurse, shut up! I said prepare the electric shock room! Let Jimmy go! Let Jimmy go! Get him in there! Come on! No! No! Let Jimmy go! Let Jimmy go! Get him in there! Come on! (ECHOES) No! No! Al Don't leave me.
I won't, Sam.
Don't leave.
I won't, Sam.
Set the voltage.
Doctor, I really think after his session yesterday If you can't perform as a professional, I don't need you in this room.
Do I make myself clear? Sam, tell him you've gotta have the same voltage as yesterday.
Tell him! We're almost there, doctor.
It hurts.
Tell him! You'll be fine.
Everything'll be fine, I promise.
Gushie, turn the power up.
Turn it up to the max! You gotta keep me here.
Come on, Sam.
Tell him, buddy.
I can't hang on much longer.
The same shock as yesterday! The same shock as yesterday! No! Yes! It's gotta be the same as yesterday! The same as Butcher did yesterday! What was the voltage Dr Wickless set yesterday? It wasn't Dr Wickless, it was Butch.
Butch? Yes.
You administered electroshock without a doctor present? I don't remember.
What was the voltage set? It was set at 200.
Now! Now! Give shock now! He got angry cos Sam hit him, so he punished him by turning up the voltage.
That's a lie! You had the audacity to take that kind of control? Do it! Save Jimmy.
I told you to prep them.
Save Sam.
Please, 200.
No, that's too high! Tell him.
.
.
a doctor, now a registered nurse.
Oh, God.
I don't care! Not without medical procedure! You had the audacity to take that kind of control.
All right.
Why would she lie, Butch? Do it! (ARGUMENT CONTINUES) I was doing what you told me! I told you to prep them! Without medical staff present? Put your head down.
Put your head down, Sam! I have never ordered you to administer shocks.
(THUNDER) Do it! Sam? Sam, you OK? Al? You OK? You must sleep with me.
Oh, we did it, Sam.
Sam, what the hell am I doing in this uniform? What's going on, Sam? I think Come here.
Sam, what the hell's happening, huh? BOTH: Oh, boy!
