00:02:25.
00:02:30.
00:02:34.
00:02:35You don't understand? I don't...
00:02:41I don't care if you're a girl.
00:02:43I'll punch you right in the mouth.
00:02:45Oh, please, we stop it!
00:02:48Get up.
00:02:51Don't pay any attention to him.
00:02:54Come on, hit the cart. Peter's waiting for you.
00:03:02Sometimes I wish I understood your race. Why?
00:03:04Because I want to help you.
00:03:06I don't need help.
00:03:07Yes, you do.
00:03:08What?
00:03:09You do need help, Reese.
00:03:11The way you acted, the way you treated anybody. It wasn't normal.
00:03:15I don't know, you know, you...
00:03:17You get born, you grow up, you go to school, you go in the army.
00:03:21And if you're not killed, you raise a family.
00:03:25The kids leave you as fast as they can.
00:03:29And then you're alone.
00:03:31And then two weeks before you retire, you die.
00:03:37I don't want that.
00:03:40What I am, you know, it's not so good, but it's not so bad either.
00:03:44I won't let you alone, Reese.
00:03:50Sweet.
00:03:51Private James H. Reese?
00:03:52Mm-hmm.
00:03:53Did some girl get hurt here tonight?
00:03:54Is that what she said?
00:03:55Get in the uniform, soldier.
00:03:56You're wanting out the base for questioning.
00:03:57Look, you come at a very bad time, see?
00:03:58I'm inside with a young lady.
00:03:59I don't care if you're in bed with a four-star general. Let's go.
00:04:00I can't come with you now.
00:04:01Don't put your hands on me.
00:04:02Come on, let's go.
00:04:03You must be in a great deal of pain.
00:04:04Oh, no, sir, I don't believe in pain.
00:04:05On moral grounds.
00:04:06Oh, yeah, is that right?
00:04:07What's your fault?
00:04:08What's your fault?
00:04:09What's your fault?
00:04:10What's your fault?
00:04:11What's your fault?
00:04:12What's your fault?
00:04:13What's your fault?
00:04:14What's your fault?
00:04:15What's your fault?
00:04:16Don't put your hands on me.
00:04:17Come on, let's go.
00:04:22You must be in a great deal of pain.
00:04:24Oh, no, sir, I don't believe in pain.
00:04:26On moral grounds.
00:04:28Oh, yeah, is that right?
00:04:29What's your moral position on being arrested, smartass?
00:04:32Can we keep this conversation on a more impersonal...
00:04:34Shut up. Sign these papers.
00:04:36Look, I'm a simple man. I have simple wives.
00:04:38Just put me in the cast, taught me in the stuff.
00:04:39Nobody's gonna set your arm until you're officially admitted.
00:04:41So sign, troop.
00:04:43You know, you're kind of cute when you're pissed off.
00:04:46Sign.
00:04:47With your record of arrest, you've run out of choices.
00:04:52Sign.
00:04:58And so, Mr. Rees, you say you plan to stay up all night?
00:05:01Oh, yes.
00:05:02I stay up every night.
00:05:03I pray.
00:05:04What for?
00:05:06I pray with the sun to rise.
00:05:08It's my belief that if I didn't pray all night, the sun wouldn't come up.
00:05:11I don't do this for myself, you see. I do this for everyone.
00:05:14And it's a fact that every time I pray all night, the sun comes up.
00:05:17How long have you done this nightly ritual?
00:05:20I used to do it just once in a while to keep in shape, you know, but...
00:05:24It's a family thing.
00:05:26And now that I'm the only one left, the torch of the world has fallen to me,
00:05:29and so I must do it every night.
00:05:31Unless, of course, my eldest son.
00:05:33If I should ever have one, he'll take over for me.
00:05:43Hello.
00:05:44Hello.
00:05:45How are you?
00:05:46It's fine.
00:05:47But you are.
00:05:50I think that MP wanted to take it home with him.
00:05:52A souvenir of our lovely evening together.
00:05:54Tell me, Rhys, what kind of place is this?
00:05:57Is it a hospital or is it a prison?
00:05:59Oh, it's a wonderful place.
00:06:01They take your x-rays, they put you in your casts on the first floor,
00:06:05and they take you to the second floor with this weird man says things like aggravated assault,
00:06:10and they bring you up here.
00:06:12They incarcerate you, and they throw away the key.
00:06:16Have you seen all these silly men out there?
00:06:18Pretending they know who you are?
00:06:20I mean, they think you're...
00:06:22They think you're mad.
00:06:23They think you're a criminal.
00:06:25It's just like Hildegard.
00:06:26They think you hit her, and you won't tell them the truth.
00:06:29Yeah, okay, I'll clear it all at first.
00:06:31I know you won't.
00:06:33I'm serious, Rhys.
00:06:35Don't be.
00:06:36It doesn't become you.
00:06:37And it's boring.
00:06:39What?
00:06:40Boring.
00:06:41I think you're just unhappy.
00:06:44I was attracted by that for a while, but I don't know anymore.
00:06:51Lisa, you remember that man we saw in Frankfurt?
00:06:57The mentally retarded man who just kept smiling while everybody around him was screaming?
00:07:01Yes.
00:07:02Well, he was happy.
00:07:04He was sick.
00:07:07Well, it's hard to tell after this sort of undirected conversation.
00:07:22Sounds articulate, reasonably complex.
00:07:26His record of arrest certainly adds an interesting note to the proceedings.
00:07:32All in all, I'd say he sounded promising.
00:07:36I'd like to investigate him further, if I might.
00:07:38Certainly.
00:07:39I think you've found an excellent candidate in this Rhys fella.
00:07:42He's been a constant offender.
00:07:44Quite obviously sociopathic.
00:07:46Wouldn't you say?
00:07:48Yes, and incipient signs of schizophrenia as well.
00:07:52There's no doubt in my mind.
00:07:54He fits your profile exactly.
00:07:56Well, there sure is a nice car.
00:07:59They make you guys walk a beat before they give you a nice car like this.
00:08:04You know, I used to want to be an MP when I was six.
00:08:09And you guys keep order, you arrest people.
00:08:12You bring the guilty to justice.
00:08:14That's a hell of a thing, bringing the guilty to justice.
00:08:16I wish I was an MP.
00:08:20Geez, I ain't a bitch, but it's awful lonesome here in the backseat.
00:08:24I don't suppose I can climb up front with you fellas.
00:08:27No?
00:08:28I didn't think so.
00:08:30Well, it's better than being in the trunk, right?
00:08:33Right?
00:08:34Oh yeah, right.
00:08:41Whoops, you made a wrong turn here, MP.
00:08:43That's not the way to the stockade.
00:08:46You are taking me to the stockade, aren't you?
00:08:50Oh yeah.
00:08:51Oh no, don't you.
00:08:52Oh no.
00:08:53Oh no.
00:08:54Oh no.
00:08:55Oh no.
00:08:56Oh no.
00:08:57Oh no.
00:08:58Oh no.
00:08:59Oh no.
00:09:00Oh no.
00:09:01Oh no.
00:09:18Hi there.
00:09:19Hi there, Harvey Gorman's the name.
00:09:21I represent the Mutual Beneficial Insurance Company Incorporated.
00:09:25You're a family man, you're probably asking yourself,
00:09:28if a werewolf bit me, would my wife be properly taken care of?
00:09:31Bye.
00:09:34Can we stop the car? I have to go wee-wee.
00:09:37Whoops, never mind.
00:09:49Yeah, I really enjoy talking to you like this.
00:10:03Delivering James H. Reese.
00:10:05Okay, Reese, out.
00:10:16Name's Shannon. Corporal Lawrence Shannon.
00:10:18I'm head orderly here.
00:10:23Where's here?
00:10:32Okay, Reese, in here.
00:10:35Checking in Private Reese.
00:10:38Hey, Reese.
00:10:40Over here.
00:10:43Show Private Reese to the ward.
00:10:46Okay, Reese, this way.
00:10:48Nurse.
00:10:50Excuse me, nurse.
00:10:52Do you mind telling me where I am?
00:10:54Certainly.
00:10:56You're standing four feet in front of me,
00:10:58flagrantly disobeying my order that you go to the ward.
00:11:04I was wondering where I was.
00:11:06Hey, Reese.
00:11:09This way.
00:11:13What's that?
00:11:14Oh!
00:11:17What's this place?
00:11:19Oh, just stay cool.
00:11:20And don't make waves.
00:11:22You keep something in mind, buddy.
00:11:23You cause trouble here, I can mess you up real good.
00:11:28See how he screams like that?
00:11:29Only when he's awake.
00:11:30Okay, Reese.
00:11:35Okay, Reese.
00:11:37Lieutenant Rhodes.
00:11:38Hey, Rhodes.
00:11:39Private Reese.
00:11:40How are you doing?
00:11:41Reese.
00:11:43Sergeant Miles.
00:11:44Hello.
00:11:47The bathroom's at that door there.
00:11:49That's your bed there.
00:11:51Now get undressed.
00:11:52The nurse will be down and take your temperature
00:11:53and do all those things that nurses do.
00:11:54Sure, right away.
00:11:55I just want to relax a minute.
00:11:56You know,
00:11:57custom myself and my new surroundings.
00:12:00That's an order.
00:12:02I don't want nurse Schroeder on my back
00:12:03so you get undressed.
00:12:05Right.
00:12:08Okay.
00:12:14Right.
00:12:15Why don't they give him something?
00:12:27Well, it ain't time yet.
00:12:29Hell, he ain't due for another joke or...
00:12:32About an hour from now.
00:12:34Plays hell with the TV.
00:12:40Hey, listen.
00:12:42Can we give you a hand getting undressed or something?
00:12:44No, thank you.
00:12:49Yes, sir.
00:12:51It would be good to have someone to talk to for a change.
00:12:53Oh, Tommy there.
00:12:54He ain't much of a conversation anymore.
00:12:57Oh, neither am I.
00:12:59Oh, well, you get used to that and once your shock wears off.
00:13:03And when they first sprung it on me,
00:13:05hell, I didn't say a word to nobody for a solid week.
00:13:08Too busy drinking and screwing.
00:13:10What shock is that?
00:13:11Oh, you know, when they first tell you you're a corpse.
00:13:14Dead man.
00:13:17All I got is a broken home.
00:13:19You had your complete physical yet?
00:13:20Mm-hmm.
00:13:21Uh-huh.
00:13:22Uh-huh. And what doctor they say to you?
00:13:25Frederick.
00:13:29Well, that's our doctor too, buddy boy.
00:13:31Me and old Tommy.
00:13:33Yeah. You see, Tommy's got a hole about this big in his intestines.
00:13:38And I can guess to the month and I ain't gonna have any lungs left.
00:13:42Yeah.
00:13:44Yeah.
00:13:46Used to be a fella in here who looked a lot like you.
00:13:49Came in with his leg in a cast.
00:13:51Crooked and leukemia.
00:13:53It's not a bad way to go.
00:13:57Not as bad as talons.
00:14:02How come his head is bandaged?
00:14:06You said he got it in the intestines.
00:14:09I have intestines up my head.
00:14:10Ha!
00:14:13Ha!
00:14:16Hey, that's pretty good!
00:14:17Ha!
00:14:19Hey, Tommy, you been peeing out your ear lately?
00:14:24Ha!
00:14:26I used to know a couple of girls like that.
00:14:28So how come his head is bandaged?
00:14:30I don't know. Go ask Dr. Frederick.
00:14:33Ah!
00:14:35Relax.
00:14:37That's just his hour tone.
00:14:38About half past, we get two quick screams.
00:14:44Yeah.
00:14:45This place has a lot of laughs.
00:14:48And there's only one way out.
00:14:50I doubt that.
00:14:53I doubt that.
00:14:57Hey.
00:14:59Why'd you do that?
00:15:01You are watching it.
00:15:02Okay, Reese.
00:15:03Suit yourself.
00:15:04Okay, Reese.
00:15:06Suit yourself.
00:15:08Okay, Reese.
00:15:09Suit yourself.
00:15:10You are watching it.
00:15:14It's a good night.
00:15:16It's a good night.
00:15:18It's a good night.
00:15:20It's a good night.
00:15:22Good night.
00:15:23Yeah, you see, when old Tommy ain't screaming, there just ain't no place in the world more quiet in this room.
00:15:41You really know how to turn a phrase, don't you?
00:15:45How long you been here?
00:15:48Good counts. I'm worried how long I got left.
00:15:52The place gives me the creeps.
00:15:53Oh, relax, boy.
00:15:56Why can't we have a private room? The place is big enough.
00:16:02Privacy's the last thing you want, kid.
00:16:04Hey, we should talk about the kid. And I don't need all the parental advice.
00:16:08Now, you better keep it, sonny.
00:16:10Look, for both of us, I'll say to shut up.
00:16:12Okay?
00:16:15I don't put it in a crib like this.
00:16:22Excuse me.
00:16:27Hell, you got the wrong attitude, Reese. You know that?
00:16:30We're the elite.
00:16:31We got all kind of preferential treatment.
00:16:34Baby, we're showpieces.
00:16:36Speaking of pieces, Reese, where do you get a load of this little red cross girl who comes around and plays checkers with me?
00:16:44She's got the hots for my body.
00:16:45Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:16:49Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:16:54Audley.
00:16:55Hey, Audley.
00:16:56Some day, Reese,
00:16:57some day me and that little old red cross girl who come to a hell of a lot more and play checkers.
00:17:01I guarantee them to you.
00:17:04Can't you give him a shot?
00:17:05Yeah, you do it for another 45 minutes.
00:17:07Why haven't you been drinking your pink lemonade?
00:17:09Screw the pink lemonade.
00:17:10You think I cut this plop around for my health?
00:17:12I don't drink any more of that piss.
00:17:15Drink it and beg for more.
00:17:17That's for fever.
00:17:19Hey, don't you give me a hard time too, Chief.
00:17:21That's my boy.
00:17:23Yes, sir. 18 years of med school.
00:17:25But it was worth it.
00:17:27Now he makes the best friggin' pink lemonade on the block.
00:17:31Give me a shot, you creep.
00:17:33He ain't do yet.
00:17:35Give him a shot, you bastard.
00:17:37Got another 45 minutes.
00:17:42Get the nurse.
00:17:45Nurse, give him his injection.
00:17:47Get the nurse to give him his injection.
00:17:50When he's fully under, I want him to move carefully to room D, understood?
00:17:54Right, room D.
00:18:00How's it going, Miles?
00:18:02Oh, still kickin', Doc?
00:18:04You know, I'm up to four packs a day.
00:18:07I'd trade all the peanuts in the world for one to taste the old hair of the dog and bit me.
00:18:11You're amazing.
00:18:18Well, hell, Doc.
00:18:19Even a condemned man's entitled to one last smoke.
00:18:21I hate to break this up, but when you have a minute...
00:18:25What is it you want, Reese?
00:18:27How about some information? Am I dying?
00:18:29You have a broken arm.
00:18:30Yeah, I know that, but am I gonna die from it?
00:18:32No, you're not.
00:18:33Then why am I here?
00:18:34Yeah, why is he here? That's not a son of a bitch.
00:18:36Then why can I have a private room?
00:18:38Oh, you can do it with a little company.
00:18:40You call this company?
00:18:41Oh, it's what you make it.
00:18:47How long am I gonna be here?
00:18:48Look, Reese, we'll have a chat about it later right now.
00:18:51I have things to do, excuse me.
00:18:52Hey, wait a minute.
00:18:56Did you see that?
00:18:57Did you see how he ducked out of here?
00:18:58There's something funny about that guy.
00:18:59I sensed it.
00:19:00I sensed it right from the start.
00:19:04Well, you don't take much to anybody, do you?
00:19:07Go eat your peanut slifer.
00:19:12Now, you wanna know something, boy?
00:19:13Hmm?
00:19:14I'm about ready to ram that cast halfway up your ass.
00:19:17Okay, Miles, let's just drop it, okay?
00:19:19Say, I'll bet you're a college boy, ain't you?
00:19:26I'm gonna tell.
00:19:30What did you use to study?
00:19:33English.
00:19:35English?
00:19:49English?
00:19:50English?
00:19:51English?
00:19:52English?
00:19:53English?
00:19:54English?
00:19:55English?
00:19:56English?
00:19:57English?
00:19:58English?
00:19:59English?
00:20:00English?
00:20:01English?
00:20:02English?
00:20:03English?
00:20:04English?
00:20:05English?
00:20:06English?
00:20:07English?
00:20:08English?
00:20:09English?
00:20:10English?
00:20:11English?
00:20:12English?
00:20:13English?
00:20:14English?
00:20:15English?
00:20:16English?
00:20:17English?
00:22:20Come on.
00:22:22Come on.
00:22:24Oh.
00:22:25That's it, baby.
00:22:27Oh.
00:22:28Oh, Jesus.
00:22:31Oh.
00:22:32Come here.
00:22:37Come here.
00:22:38Come here.
00:22:40Okay.
00:22:42Everyone on the left.
00:22:44Let's go out there.
00:22:45You see her?
00:22:47You see her?
00:22:48Oh.
00:22:49Oh, that's it.
00:22:50Oh.
00:22:51Oh.
00:22:52Oh, shit, turn the light out.
00:23:06I'm trying not to think about it.
00:23:09Take a cold shower.
00:23:10Hey, where you been?
00:23:11Nowhere.
00:23:12It's literally nowhere.
00:23:14Dr. Frederick, Congresswoman Johnson.
00:23:16It's a pleasure.
00:23:17And of course, Congressman Weston, whose committee has been very generous with funds for our project.
00:23:21Doctor, I'm over here because I have heard rumors that there have been setbacks.
00:23:28Well, I hesitate to doubt the source of your rumors, but I can assure you, as Army observer and coordinator of this project,
00:23:34each step Dr. Frederick and his staff, and I modestly admit myself, have taken, each step has been a forward one.
00:23:42Doctor, when can we expect to be able to present your findings to Congress?
00:23:45I'm a scientist, Mr. Weston, not a long-distance runner.
00:23:49How soon, Doctor?
00:23:50You know, I bet this place is really something to see in the old days, huh?
00:23:53Yeah.
00:23:55What is this place?
00:23:56Yeah, the way I get it from, uh, Shannon.
00:23:58That's a punk orderly.
00:24:00This place used to belong to a big German field marshal, you know?
00:24:02It's a bachelor kind of guy.
00:24:03The Army had always been his whole life, so when he died, he left the Army in his mansion.
00:24:06Now the Army's got it.
00:24:07How many patients they got here?
00:24:09Oh, let's see.
00:24:11Now, it's just a rough estimate, do you understand?
00:24:13But I'd say, uh, three.
00:24:15Three?
00:24:19Three?
00:24:20Yeah.
00:24:21You, me, and Tommy.
00:24:23So it'd be really accurate, you'd have to, say, uh, two and a half.
00:24:26But you see, Tommy ain't half the man he used to be.
00:24:30He ain't half the man he used to be.
00:24:32Well, that struck me kind of funny, you know?
00:24:36You know, it's weird, Reese.
00:24:37Nowadays, the damnest things just tear me up.
00:24:40Hey, uh, ain't right, is it?
00:24:42I mean, am I conditioned?
00:24:43You ever laugh much?
00:24:45No.
00:24:46No.
00:24:47I didn't think so, somehow.
00:24:50Why?
00:24:52Boy, you sure as hell shrug a lot.
00:24:55I bet that old cask ain't cramped your old style, doesn't it?
00:24:58Hey, I'm pretty good.
00:24:59Hey, uh, uh, you got any brothers or sisters?
00:25:03I don't know.
00:25:07You don't know if you got any brothers or sisters, huh, college boy?
00:25:10What do you care?
00:25:12Well, now that you're missing, I don't give a damn.
00:25:14One way or the other, just trying to make a little conversation, you know?
00:25:22Now where you going?
00:25:23Hey, those woods are off limits.
00:25:30Hey, Reese.
00:25:59Don't turn your back, guys.
00:26:01I've seen those dogs work before.
00:26:04Just, uh, back up slow.
00:26:08Talk to him.
00:26:09Oh, good dog.
00:26:12Yeah.
00:26:13That's a dog.
00:26:14Looks kind of like a Shannon, doesn't he?
00:26:16Hey, easy.
00:26:17Nice.
00:26:18Are we working?
00:26:19Oh, dog.
00:26:21Easy.
00:26:21Easy.
00:26:21You should have seen your face.
00:26:36What do you mean?
00:26:36I wasn't scared.
00:26:37Come on, dog.
00:26:38Let's go.
00:26:39Punch your face.
00:26:40You're being scared.
00:26:42Hey, wait a minute.
00:26:43What's with the fence and the dogs?
00:26:50Well, they don't want to break in here, do they?
00:26:53Right.
00:26:55Miles, did you notice the barbed wire up on top of that fence?
00:26:58On the brackets?
00:26:59Pointing in like this.
00:27:02Yeah.
00:27:02Well, if they wanted to keep people out, did it point out?
00:27:06And the dog, they patrol the area by the, the inside area.
00:27:15What is this place, Auschwitz?
00:27:18In here.
00:27:26This is where the high level.
00:27:29Yeah.
00:27:29These men, these are two of our patients.
00:27:36Sergeant Beaufort Miles, Private James Reese.
00:27:39Well, men, how is life treating you?
00:27:43No complaints?
00:27:46Well, that's the first time I've ever heard of soldiers without any complaints.
00:27:49Well, we make it our business to keep our patients as happy and comfortable as possible.
00:27:53Let's ask a question.
00:27:54What about...
00:27:54We'll have plenty of time for that later.
00:27:56We've got a lot of ground to cover.
00:27:57Bill took after dinner.
00:27:59You see that guy?
00:28:04He ducked out on me again.
00:28:06What do you got against Frederick?
00:28:07I like him.
00:28:08I don't know, Miles.
00:28:09You got a thing about that man.
00:28:10Well, he ain't just no pill doctor, you know.
00:28:12He's some kind of shrink, too.
00:28:13He's some kind of creep, too.
00:28:14Well, let me tell you something, buddy, boy.
00:28:16Well, he knows a lot about brains.
00:28:17I'll tell you that.
00:28:18Yeah.
00:28:19Hey, you take old Tommy, for instance.
00:28:20One day, Frederick comes into the ward.
00:28:23And Tommy's hurt.
00:28:23I mean, he is really hurt.
00:28:26So Frederick takes him by his hand, you know?
00:28:28He's kind of like he's a woman.
00:28:32And he says to Tommy, he said,
00:28:33Would you like me to make it stop hurting?
00:28:36So Tommy's one of his sniffles.
00:28:38Said he'd appreciate it, you know?
00:28:40The old doc says,
00:28:41The hurt's in the head, Tommy.
00:28:43Not just Tommy.
00:28:45And old Tommy just says,
00:28:46Yes, sir.
00:28:48Just like that.
00:28:49Now, me.
00:28:52I said, Doc, are you ever full of shit?
00:28:54But not Tommy.
00:28:56Then, you see, I figured it.
00:28:58He's gonna hypnotize him or something like that.
00:29:01But he didn't, did he?
00:29:05He opened his head.
00:29:08Sort of looks that way, don't it?
00:29:09Miles, I want to ask you a question.
00:29:24I'm trying to line up a shot, do you mind?
00:29:29I want to ask you about roads.
00:29:32What?
00:29:33You're pretty good friends with him, right?
00:29:37Yeah.
00:29:38Excuse me.
00:29:43Has he acted any differently since they worked on his head?
00:29:46Can't say that note, it seems hurt about as bad as ever.
00:29:49Did Frederick say anything more about what he'd done to him?
00:29:51No.
00:29:52Come on, man, think.
00:29:53Did he say anything about removing pressure on his brain, anything like that?
00:29:57Now, why is he gonna say anything to me?
00:29:59You think I'm gonna understand what he's talking about?
00:30:04Probably not.
00:30:06Well, I ain't so goddamn sure.
00:30:07Or you would either.
00:30:11Yeah.
00:30:13Yeah.
00:30:13Don't push me.
00:30:14That's why you're afraid of him.
00:30:16Oh, guys like you, you don't worry about getting beat up and nothing like that.
00:30:19No, you can talk your way out of most spots.
00:30:21But let someone come along who's got a few more smarts than you, and you goddamn near have
00:30:24kittens.
00:30:26For me?
00:30:27I don't worry about looking dumb.
00:30:28Okay.
00:30:29Okay, maybe I don't have no college education and nothing like that.
00:30:31But let me tell you something, son.
00:30:33I went to the toughest school of all.
00:30:35I went to the school of hard knocks, right?
00:30:37Oh, from the teeming tenements.
00:30:38Yeah, didn't we all?
00:30:40Yeah?
00:30:40Listen, Miles, it's okay if you don't like me.
00:30:42Oh, well, wipe my ass.
00:30:45Boy, you really are a sum, aren't you?
00:30:47Well, we don't have much account, do we?
00:30:49Except maybe Frederick.
00:30:50What is this thing you got about Frederick?
00:30:52Use your head, Beaufort.
00:30:53I don't trust the man.
00:30:54Well, I do, old buddy.
00:30:58You have to trust him with your life.
00:31:00Old buddy.
00:31:04Oh, you know, when I was a kid, I used to know someone like you.
00:31:09Yeah, yeah, this kid, if we ever got in a darkroom, see, something like that, he'd always
00:31:13go real tense, and he would say, hey, see you that?
00:31:16And everybody else always supposed to listen up real close, you know, say, no, what?
00:31:20I think what, see, this goddamn kid, he's always making the whole thing up.
00:31:23I gave him a big charge, you know, to hear things that weren't there.
00:31:26But I cured him of that.
00:31:28One day we were in this darkroom, like always, and he says, hey, did you hear that?
00:31:32And I turned and I built a crap out of him.
00:31:35No, I said, do you feel that?
00:31:39Okay, Miles, okay.
00:31:44Okay.
00:31:53Hey, Reese?
00:32:14Ask me if I'm married.
00:32:33Come on, come on, come on, ask me if I'm married.
00:32:36For God's sake.
00:32:37You're married?
00:32:47No, I'm divorced.
00:32:51How come?
00:32:54She talked too much.
00:32:56How long?
00:32:59How long what?
00:33:00We've been divorced.
00:33:02Eight years.
00:33:03Uh, I think something else.
00:33:12Do you ever have any visitors?
00:33:15I never have any visitors.
00:33:17No.
00:33:21No.
00:33:25Just a red cross girl.
00:33:27I think they'd pay her to see me.
00:33:29No relative, none like Ed.
00:33:33Yeah.
00:33:39It's, uh...
00:33:42It's lonely here.
00:33:49I never thought I'd die lonely.
00:33:50What kind of bullshit am I spouting?
00:33:58You know what's wrong with me?
00:33:59I'm horny as a three-balled toad, that's why.
00:34:02I need a woman, any woman.
00:34:03I don't care if she's toothless and crippled
00:34:04and wearing a glass eye.
00:34:05I'll take her.
00:34:09Sometimes I go a little crazy
00:34:10just thinking about, you know.
00:34:13I reckon not having a woman's
00:34:14about the worst thing in the whole world.
00:34:20But for one thing, you know.
00:34:35Silence.
00:34:38Not having somebody to talk to.
00:34:42You know, lately I've caught myself
00:34:43talking to TV.
00:34:44You know, lately I've caught myself talking to TV.
00:34:50Silence ain't good for a goddamn thing.
00:34:59It took roads.
00:35:04I got nobody.
00:35:06That narrows it down to us, doesn't it?
00:35:11You.
00:35:13Me.
00:35:17Frederick.
00:35:17I thought we agreed on later.
00:35:21What are you planning to do with me?
00:35:23You must lead a very dull life,
00:35:25Private Reese.
00:35:27That you apparently have to weave
00:35:29mystery into it at every turn.
00:35:31Oh, for Christ's sake,
00:35:32I break my arm.
00:35:32They throw me in a ward with terminal cases.
00:35:35The guards and dogs.
00:35:37Barbed wire fence.
00:35:39They put me in charge of a brain doctor.
00:35:41That's what you are, isn't it?
00:35:43Does it take an overactive imagination
00:35:45for that to seem strange?
00:35:46Then there's Tommy Rhodes.
00:35:48Now, there's a man with a hole in his intestines.
00:35:50And that poor bastard's laying there
00:35:52with his head taped up.
00:35:53Now, what am I supposed to make of that?
00:35:56Those mysterious bandages
00:35:58represented nothing more than
00:36:00an experimental technique
00:36:02designed to stop pain at its source.
00:36:05Which was, of course, the brain.
00:36:07I'll say it again.
00:36:12You said once.
00:36:14Yes, I did.
00:36:14Rhodes died on the operating table
00:36:18ten minutes ago.
00:36:23How?
00:36:25How did he die?
00:36:27Hmm?
00:36:28Did you kill him?
00:36:30Did you really take a dying man
00:36:31and put the finishing touch on him
00:36:32by fooling with his brain?
00:36:34Let me tell you something about Rhodes.
00:36:36Rhodes.
00:36:38That boy was coherent enough
00:36:40not only to understand
00:36:41that I was trying to ease his death,
00:36:42but that I could turn it
00:36:45into something meaningful.
00:36:49He knew that the same techniques
00:36:51that I applied to him
00:36:52could be used to spare others agony,
00:36:55but they might lead to a cure
00:36:57for many ills,
00:37:00including schizophrenia.
00:37:02Oh, you're wonderful.
00:37:04You're just wonderful.
00:37:08You are a very small man,
00:37:10Mr. Reese.
00:37:11And you're obviously
00:37:12some kind of colossus.
00:37:14So I'm sure you'll understand
00:37:15why I want to keep out
00:37:16from underfoot.
00:37:16In fact, if I had my way,
00:37:18I'd have me a doctor
00:37:18that didn't know shit about brains.
00:37:21Benson!
00:37:21Benson!
00:37:24Hey, buddy, you okay?
00:37:29Yeah.
00:37:31Who's Benson?
00:37:32Benson.
00:37:32Benson.
00:37:32Benson.
00:37:32Benson.
00:37:32Benson.
00:37:34You want me to tell you
00:37:37about her before I die?
00:37:45Gently.
00:37:46In already?
00:37:49Morning.
00:37:51You've been here all night,
00:37:52haven't you?
00:37:53Why don't you go
00:37:54to get some breaths now?
00:37:59Perfectly positioned.
00:38:00What do you mean?
00:38:02They found inflammation
00:38:03in the hypothermic area
00:38:04I don't understand.
00:38:06It hasn't changed.
00:38:07Shh.
00:38:10The amperage level
00:38:11might not have been
00:38:12excessive yet.
00:38:13It was within the gradient limits.
00:38:15Oh, really, doctor?
00:38:16I'm sure you haven't
00:38:16even eaten breaths.
00:38:18Those gradients
00:38:18are established
00:38:19for healthy patients.
00:38:21If you're the debilitation
00:38:23of the subject,
00:38:24isn't it possible?
00:38:25You did everything
00:38:26you could.
00:38:28Nevertheless,
00:38:29Rhodes is dead.
00:38:30I'm well aware
00:38:31of that, doctor,
00:38:32but I see no reason
00:38:33to dwell on it.
00:38:35Aren't you at least
00:38:35interested in the
00:38:36cause of death?
00:38:37He was all but
00:38:38clinically dead
00:38:39before we began.
00:38:40If he had lived,
00:38:41you might have been able
00:38:42to benefit him immensely.
00:38:45No.
00:38:46If we can be faulted
00:38:47for anything,
00:38:49it is simply that
00:38:49our choice of subject
00:38:50was injudicious.
00:38:52Injudicious?
00:38:54But we don't have
00:38:55that many to choose from.
00:38:58Were all the schizophrenics
00:38:59a major promised you?
00:39:01After all,
00:39:02that is what we're here for,
00:39:03isn't it?
00:39:05Is it?
00:39:07There's Miles.
00:39:08Oh, yes.
00:39:10Miles, at least,
00:39:11is still relatively healthy.
00:39:13And Reese.
00:39:16Mr. Miles?
00:39:17Well, my goodness.
00:39:24Where is everybody?
00:39:27Where's Tommy Rhodes?
00:39:28I'm away.
00:39:30Oh, they took him away,
00:39:32I see.
00:39:34And the incorrigible
00:39:35Mr. Miles?
00:39:36Taken a crap.
00:39:38Oh, then I shall see him
00:39:39shortly, I presume.
00:39:42And you are?
00:39:43I'm in a foul mood
00:39:44and I don't want to play games.
00:39:47Of course.
00:39:50Do you mind
00:39:51if I sit down
00:39:52very quietly
00:39:53and wait for Mr. Miles?
00:39:54You can't imagine
00:39:55how much he looks forward
00:39:56to his checkers.
00:39:58Can't imagine
00:39:58what else he's looking forward to.
00:40:01Let's sit down.
00:40:03Wait.
00:40:05I don't care.
00:40:10I've got some
00:40:19nice cookies here.
00:40:40Mrs. Garbage.
00:40:43Matter of taste.
00:40:46What do you like to read,
00:40:48Mr.
00:40:48I'm in the business.
00:40:50Well, I'm afraid
00:40:51you're mistaken there.
00:40:53It is precisely my business
00:40:55to know exactly
00:40:56what you like to read.
00:40:59What sort of games
00:41:00you like to play
00:41:01and what kind of cookies
00:41:02you're fond of eating.
00:41:04It's my business
00:41:05to make this room
00:41:06seem larger.
00:41:08Are you fooling with me?
00:41:20If I'm upsetting you,
00:41:21I could just go away
00:41:23for a while
00:41:23and I could come back later
00:41:25to see Mr. Miles.
00:41:26Good idea.
00:41:32Did you just find out?
00:41:33Find out what?
00:41:35I haven't found out anything.
00:41:37The longer I'm here,
00:41:38the less I find out.
00:41:42Look, Miss, uh, what?
00:41:44Krauss.
00:41:45Miss Anna Krauss.
00:41:47Sometimes known as
00:41:48Florence Nightingale.
00:41:49Although I find that
00:41:50cliche increasingly tiresome.
00:41:52Now, look, Florence,
00:41:53you gotta distribute
00:41:54your professional sympathy
00:41:55more efficiently.
00:41:56You know,
00:41:56you can't waste it on me.
00:41:58Your eyes are all puffy.
00:42:00Are you in pain?
00:42:01Yes, I am.
00:42:05Right here.
00:42:11I just insulted you.
00:42:13You're so stupid
00:42:13you don't get it.
00:42:15Look, can you make babies?
00:42:17Yes, of course I can.
00:42:19Then why don't you
00:42:20go do that?
00:42:20Hey, hey, hey, hey,
00:42:31what's going on here?
00:42:33What's this punk
00:42:34doing to you, Anna?
00:42:34Hey, what's she doing out here?
00:43:00Thomas Krauss in the war today.
00:43:01She depresses me.
00:43:03Oh, hey, now.
00:43:17No reason to be depressed.
00:43:19Not with me around.
00:43:21You just follow this down.
00:43:23What's the pill for?
00:43:24Set your head right, baby.
00:43:25I don't need any dope.
00:43:27Go on, take it.
00:43:28Pre-trial offer.
00:43:29If you like,
00:43:30next time we do business.
00:43:31If not,
00:43:32well, it never happened.
00:43:33What is that?
00:43:35You don't know it.
00:43:36It's perfectly safe
00:43:37for babies and small dogs
00:43:38and things,
00:43:39non-habit forming,
00:43:40no harmful side effects.
00:43:45Never mind, Reese.
00:43:46I just thought I'd do you a favor.
00:43:47No, wait, wait,
00:43:48wait a minute, huh?
00:43:51Will it, uh,
00:43:53will it calm me down?
00:43:56Chief,
00:44:01not even God will scare you.
00:44:06Why are you doing this?
00:44:09Because I hate to see somebody
00:44:10eating his guts out
00:44:10the way you've been doing.
00:44:11Brings me down, you know?
00:44:15Besides,
00:44:16I have faith in a product.
00:44:17It'll make you happy
00:44:31and I'll make me happy.
00:44:32Yeah.
00:44:35Now,
00:44:35what do you want to talk to me about?
00:44:38Rose, right?
00:44:39Rose,
00:44:42he's dead.
00:44:46So?
00:44:49Last time you saw him,
00:44:50would you exactly call that
00:44:51being alive?
00:44:51It wasn't so much
00:44:55what he said
00:44:56as his cynicism,
00:44:58sneering at the very idea
00:45:00of people helping one another.
00:45:02There's nothing funny about that,
00:45:04is there, Mr. Miles?
00:45:06Loving thy neighbor.
00:45:09Oh,
00:45:09I reckon not.
00:45:11I mean,
00:45:12where would we be
00:45:13if we couldn't love one another?
00:45:14Yes, ma'am,
00:45:15I'm a firm believer in love.
00:45:18It's my fault, really.
00:45:19When somebody tries
00:45:22to hurt me like that,
00:45:23so coldly
00:45:24and deliberately
00:45:25hurt me,
00:45:27I can see that he's really
00:45:28just trying to reach out.
00:45:32I can see that he hurts
00:45:33a lot worse on the inside
00:45:34where you can't see it.
00:45:36Yeah,
00:45:37the inside hurt,
00:45:38old man.
00:45:39What are you doing?
00:45:42Peter,
00:45:42this must be
00:45:43one of those days.
00:45:45Thank you very much,
00:45:47Mr. Miles,
00:45:47for listening to me,
00:45:48but I've got to be going now.
00:45:50No, you don't.
00:45:52Well,
00:45:52unless you'd like
00:45:53to play some checkers.
00:45:54Checkers and pink league
00:45:55and lemonade,
00:45:56I've had enough of that.
00:45:57You know what I need, Anna?
00:45:59I need love.
00:46:00I know you do,
00:46:01poor man,
00:46:02but that's not
00:46:03in my contract.
00:46:05Now, please.
00:46:06I'll be dead in a month.
00:46:08Now, don't say that.
00:46:09It's not true.
00:46:10You know it is.
00:46:12And no one
00:46:12to grieve for me.
00:46:14I'll grieve for you.
00:46:15I grieve for all of you.
00:46:17But you'll just grieve for me
00:46:17as a dead patient.
00:46:18You won't grieve for me
00:46:19as a man.
00:46:19I will,
00:46:20I promise.
00:46:21I will.
00:46:22I think my last hour
00:46:23is a little more comfortable,
00:46:24won't you, Anna?
00:46:25It's so lonely here.
00:46:28I'll treat you good.
00:46:30I know,
00:46:30I know.
00:46:32You want to.
00:46:33You know you do.
00:46:34No,
00:46:34I don't.
00:46:36No,
00:46:36please,
00:46:37don't,
00:46:37please,
00:46:38stop it.
00:46:39You don't love me.
00:46:41Oh,
00:46:41but I do,
00:46:42Anna,
00:46:42I love you too.
00:46:43No,
00:46:43you don't.
00:46:44You don't love me
00:46:46because I'm too fat.
00:46:48Fat girls turn me on.
00:46:50Oh,
00:46:51please,
00:46:51no.
00:46:52No.
00:47:01Now,
00:47:01you listen to me,
00:47:02you little bitch.
00:47:03There are two ways
00:47:06you can have it.
00:47:07And you can have it nice.
00:47:10Or you can have it nice and rough.
00:47:12Just take your pick
00:47:13because me,
00:47:13I don't care.
00:47:17Now,
00:47:18don't make me talk tough,
00:47:19okay?
00:47:20Okay.
00:47:21Okay,
00:47:22maybe,
00:47:22maybe I don't love you.
00:47:25But I like you.
00:47:26And that's the truth.
00:47:28And I'm not going to hurt you.
00:47:33And don't be frightened.
00:47:36Please.
00:47:37Mr. Miles.
00:47:38Oh,
00:47:38damn it.
00:47:39Please.
00:47:39Mr. Miles.
00:47:40Please.
00:47:41Please.
00:47:41Please.
00:47:42Please.
00:47:43Please.
00:47:45Please.
00:47:46No.
00:47:47Help.
00:47:48Holy price.
00:47:49Yes, sir.
00:47:51I'll get out.
00:47:52You're hiring me.
00:47:52You want you.
00:47:57You don't have to tell me.
00:47:59I can sense the vibes.
00:48:00The pill's working.
00:48:05Dynamite.
00:48:08Better living through chemistry.
00:48:10I learned that in them.
00:48:12When my 12 months were up,
00:48:13I asked for a transfer here.
00:48:15And you brought your little medicine bag along.
00:48:18You said it.
00:48:21Play the game.
00:48:23Smile at the big boys
00:48:24and keep out of trouble.
00:48:25Sounds easy.
00:48:26If you wised up,
00:48:27you'd have it better.
00:48:28Believe me, buddy,
00:48:29you're almost hot-headed as you are,
00:48:30but I've learned.
00:48:31Don't swim upstream.
00:48:39I've got to get back to the ward.
00:48:41I'm not supposed to leave Miles alone too long.
00:48:42Frederick wants me to kind of keep an eye on him.
00:48:44Oh, no.
00:48:45No, no, no, man.
00:48:46You don't want to do that.
00:48:50You don't want to watch Miles this afternoon.
00:48:53He needs a little privacy.
00:48:54You know,
00:48:56just him and Miss Krause.
00:49:00What, he's privacy when he plays checker?
00:49:01Come on, Shannon.
00:49:02Give him a break.
00:49:03She's been hot after Miles for months now.
00:49:06Today he's finally going to give in.
00:49:09That pill must be stronger than I thought.
00:49:12Hey, Krause, I've never been hot for anything in her whole life.
00:49:14No, no, man.
00:49:16Miles told me.
00:49:17She makes passes at him all the time.
00:49:20That's right.
00:49:21You better check your reality testing mechanism, kid,
00:49:24because poor old Miss Krause
00:49:25never made a pass at anything, period.
00:49:27She's a terminal virgin.
00:49:29Miles had made a pass at her,
00:49:30she'd crack like an old plate.
00:49:32There'd be pieces of her mixed all over the ward with the checkers,
00:49:34and if Miles ever messes with her,
00:49:35there'd be pieces of him all over the ward too.
00:49:37You understand?
00:49:37I was on a kitten.
00:49:38What's the matter?
00:49:39Can't you take a joke?
00:49:45Hey, Rafe!
00:49:45Where are you going?
00:49:46Hey, Rafe!
00:49:55Miles!
00:49:59Mark!
00:50:06How are you, Rafe?
00:50:07Who?
00:50:11Anna!
00:50:12Oh, she left.
00:50:31What are you staring at?
00:50:33Women just can't resist you, can they?
00:50:34Not for long.
00:50:38I should say not.
00:50:41Well, you're more than a match for even a little red crosswork, aren't you?
00:50:49What are you going to do about it?
00:50:51I haven't decided yet.
00:50:53What do you think she's going to do?
00:50:55Nothing.
00:50:57Just forget about it, just like that.
00:50:58Yeah.
00:50:59What else are you going to do?
00:51:05She'll be too embarrassed to tell anybody about it.
00:51:09Did she hurt her?
00:51:11I don't know.
00:51:12Forgot to ask.
00:51:14Do you think she'll be back?
00:51:15Who, Anna?
00:51:16Who cares?
00:51:18That's the first girl you ever raped?
00:51:20Now look.
00:51:21Knock off about it, will you?
00:51:22It's over and done with.
00:51:24What's it like?
00:51:26The more exciting than she can send?
00:51:27Look, goddammit.
00:51:32I asked you real nice to drop a subject.
00:51:34I ain't going to ask you to get shamed.
00:51:38You better shut up.
00:51:39You're a coward.
00:51:42You're a stupid coward.
00:51:43You're a stupid, gutless coward.
00:51:46Let me go.
00:51:46You're one on.
00:51:47You're one on.
00:51:48You're a stupid coward.
00:51:50Let me up.
00:51:51Coward.
00:51:53You're a stupid coward.
00:51:54You're a stupid coward.
00:52:02Maltz?
00:52:11Smell Maltz.
00:52:20Shannon!
00:52:21Get in!
00:52:22Shannon!
00:52:23Shannon!
00:52:24Shannon!
00:52:25Shannon!
00:52:26Get in!
00:52:27Get Frederick!
00:52:28Frank!
00:52:29Frederick!
00:52:30Get Frederick here!
00:52:31Kind of a red-letter day for you, isn't it, Miles?
00:52:36Oh.
00:52:37Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:52:38Get Frederick here!
00:52:39Frank!
00:52:40Frederick!
00:52:41Get Frederick here!
00:52:42Frank!
00:52:43Frederick!
00:52:44Get Frederick here!
00:52:45Kind of a red-letter day for you, isn't it, Miles?
00:52:47Oh.
00:52:48Bet you wondered plenty of times why we had you here, huh?
00:52:50Bet you had yourself all psyched in and thinking everybody was making a big mistake, didn't
00:52:57you, huh?
00:52:58How long?
00:53:01With extensive surgical care.
00:53:04Proper application of certain drugs.
00:53:07Maybe half a year.
00:53:08Yeah, well, if you just sat back and didn't mess with me, how long?
00:53:10Well, what can I say?
00:53:11Maybe a couple of months.
00:53:13Do you feel we have misled you in any way?
00:53:16Encouraged you to build false hopes, because if so...
00:53:18No, no, no.
00:53:19So, I lay around and let me squeeze a few more days out of my house.
00:53:24I've been in trouble.
00:53:25I've been in trouble.
00:53:26I've been in trouble.
00:53:27I've been in trouble.
00:53:28Oh, I've been in trouble.
00:53:29I've been in trouble.
00:53:30I've been in trouble.
00:53:31I've been in trouble.
00:53:32I've been in trouble.
00:53:33Two more days out of my house, is that it?
00:53:34Mm-hmm.
00:53:35That is putting it around the port for him.
00:53:36That's it, just the same, huh?
00:53:38But that's it, just the same, huh?
00:53:47Beautiful.
00:53:50Just beautiful.
00:53:56Well, I ain't going like Tommy Rhodes, you hear?
00:53:59I ain't going out whimpering and screaming and begging for medicine,
00:54:02pleading for shots from that...
00:54:05I'm quarterly.
00:54:08There is an alternative.
00:54:11I'm engaged in a project of some significance.
00:54:16You can help if you like.
00:54:21This is a piece of 31-gauge Teflon stainless steel wire.
00:54:28I want to put it in your brain.
00:54:35Wow.
00:54:41I gotta admit, Doc, the whole thing sounds pretty wild, but...
00:54:47Digging around inside in my head...
00:54:51Uh-uh.
00:54:53No.
00:54:54It might help with Benson.
00:54:57Who told you about that?
00:55:00Nobody knows about that.
00:55:01Nobody.
00:55:02It might help you to sleep easier at night, Miles.
00:55:07Believe me, you're going to want all the sleep that you can get.
00:55:11Tell me about Benson.
00:55:12Benson.
00:55:18Benson.
00:55:22Benson, Benson, Benson, Benson.
00:55:24Tell me.
00:55:26In the war.
00:55:28During the war.
00:55:30He was a bad day?
00:55:31Yes.
00:55:33No.
00:55:35No, he wasn't.
00:55:37I didn't like him very much.
00:55:38He was colored.
00:55:39What?
00:55:43That ain't why I did it.
00:55:46I mean, that ain't it at all.
00:55:48It was instinct, almost.
00:55:49It wasn't me, hardly.
00:55:51What did you do, Miles?
00:55:53We was...
00:55:55scratched down in this...
00:55:57shell crater sort of thing.
00:56:01Just a cut in the ground.
00:56:03And I looked over and...
00:56:06I don't...
00:56:09I don't know what happened.
00:56:15I looked over in his direction.
00:56:19And I saw it.
00:56:22A grenade.
00:56:25A live grenade.
00:56:26I don't know what happened.
00:56:28It wasn't me that did it.
00:56:32You pushed him.
00:56:34Yes.
00:56:36Yeah.
00:56:38Yeah, I pushed him.
00:56:40He fell on top of it.
00:56:52And it, uh...
00:56:55blew him apart.
00:57:00I wasn't even scratched.
00:57:03When I made it back to the platoon, I...
00:57:06I told him about Benson.
00:57:09Only I didn't tell it the way it happened.
00:57:10I said that he jumped to save me.
00:57:12They gave me the medal of honor.
00:57:14They gave him the medal of honor.
00:57:16Miles.
00:57:18I'm giving you a way out.
00:57:20I'm giving you a chance to do one decent thing in your life.
00:57:22I can't stop you from dying.
00:57:23They gave him the Medal of Honor.
00:57:28Miles,
00:57:29I'm giving you a way out.
00:57:34I'm giving you a chance to do one decent thing in your life.
00:57:37I can't stop you from dying.
00:57:42But I can give your death a little meaning.
00:57:45A little dignity.
00:57:53How could you do it?
00:58:14You know about telling him.
00:58:17Doesn't want to happen to him, were you?
00:58:21No.
00:58:23No.
00:58:29Oh, Miles, don't you remember how you said you were going to go?
00:58:33Mean and clean like a man, remember?
00:58:35Now you'll be going with a bunch of strangers leaning over you,
00:58:38measuring your heartbeat and your brainwaves like you're some kind of 200-pound rat.
00:58:42Is that the way you want it?
00:58:46Talk to me, you son of a bitch.
00:58:48Let me sleep.
00:58:49No, I won't. I want you to wake up. I want you to listen to me.
00:58:52I want you to let, let you lay around jiggling and that's for the rest of your life.
00:58:58Miles,
00:58:58don't you care about anything anymore?
00:59:02No.
00:59:02Well, what did they do to you?
00:59:09The same thing they're going to do to you.
00:59:13Oh, you've known about it all along.
00:59:16Why else you've been so shit-eyed scared?
00:59:19I'm perfectly healthy. They can't take me.
00:59:20I ain't going to take you, you jerk.
00:59:22You're going to volunteer.
00:59:24You're going to volunteer.
00:59:24You're going to volunteer.
00:59:52I'mrial, don't you?
00:59:54You're going to volunteer.
00:59:55You're going to volunteer.
00:59:56All right.
00:59:57All right.
00:59:58You're going to volunteer.
01:00:07I'm going to volunteer.
01:00:10You're going to volunteer.
01:00:11You're sure you're answering or unbelievable time?
01:00:13I'm going to volunteer.
01:01:45Can I finish the game?
01:01:48You would have won again.
01:01:58Hey, Miles.
01:02:16All you gotta do is say no.
01:02:32That's it.
01:02:32That's all there is to it.
01:02:36Like that, huh?
01:02:48Just like that.
01:02:49It's kind of like a little toy.
01:02:54No, no.
01:02:55No, not at all.
01:02:56Oh, I mean with the light and buzzer thing.
01:02:58It's like something I got for Christmas once when I was a kid.
01:03:01The light and buzzer arrangement has nothing to do with the probe as such.
01:03:05It is just an aid for me to record the experiment.
01:03:08And you mustn't worry about how long you press the buzzer.
01:03:11I have installed a special built-in cut-out device to prevent you from injuring yourself.
01:03:15Oh.
01:03:18Looks like he thought of everything.
01:03:19Oh, yes.
01:03:20Yes, I think so.
01:03:22Well.
01:03:22Let's do it.
01:03:29All right, Max.
01:03:32Now, you start off with the feet a while.
01:03:35Now, this is really just a great big extension cord.
01:03:38It is much more awkward than the radio-controlled component, but I trust it's more.
01:03:44It's old-fashioned, I guess.
01:03:46Yeah.
01:03:47You said you're married, didn't you, Miles?
01:03:49No, I'm divorced.
01:03:50That's nice.
01:03:50That's nice.
01:03:51Look, don't press that buzzer until I give you the word or I'll...
01:03:55No.
01:03:59That's...
01:04:00Hey, Doc.
01:04:03Well, you're not going to be doing any of this zapping yourself, are you?
01:04:07I mean, unless I push the button, nothing's going to happen, right?
01:04:13Look, Miles.
01:04:16You have to push...
01:04:17You have to push the button yourself.
01:04:21I mean, if...
01:04:21If I press it,
01:04:24the whole experiment doesn't make sense.
01:04:28Well, you knew that, didn't you?
01:04:34I'm sorry, Doc.
01:04:35It's...
01:04:36Sorry.
01:04:36Just that wire kind of psyched me out, that's all.
01:04:41I feel like a robot.
01:04:43I feel like a robot.
01:04:56Am I plugged in?
01:04:59Yes.
01:05:00You're plugged in.
01:05:02Everything's squared away?
01:05:04Yes, everything's squared away.
01:05:05And stand back, baby.
01:05:16Don't fire till you see the whites of their thighs.
01:05:19Yes.
01:05:19Shall I push it again?
01:05:33Shall I push it again?
01:05:36Yeah.
01:05:39What do you feel like, Miles?
01:05:40What do you feel?
01:05:54What do you feel?
01:06:00It feels...
01:06:02Very funny.
01:06:03Very funny.
01:06:07What does it do, Miles?
01:06:10It's, uh...
01:06:11It's like an...
01:06:14It's sort of...
01:06:15Yeah.
01:06:17Like an itch.
01:06:18Oh, it...
01:06:19It doesn't bother me at all, you know.
01:06:21It's...
01:06:22It feels nice.
01:06:24What does it do, Miles?
01:06:30Uh...
01:06:31All over.
01:06:33I...
01:06:34I can't...
01:06:35Pin it down.
01:06:36It's...
01:06:37It's like I'm...
01:06:39In a glove.
01:06:40In a glove?
01:06:41Yeah.
01:06:42Big...
01:06:43Fur-lined...
01:06:45Glove.
01:06:46Go on.
01:06:48Not a mask, but not a...
01:06:50I, uh...
01:06:52It's so warm.
01:06:54Yeah.
01:06:57It's so warm.
01:07:01Oh, it's...
01:07:03Hot.
01:07:21Uh...
01:07:22Uh...
01:07:23Uh...
01:07:23Uh...
01:07:24Uh...
01:07:24Uh...
01:07:24Uh...
01:07:25Uh...
01:07:25Uh...
01:07:27Uh...
01:07:28Uh...
01:07:29Uh...
01:07:29Uh...
01:07:30Uh...
01:07:31Uh...
01:07:32Uh...
01:07:33Angst...
01:07:34Is it not what you expected?
01:07:37Uh...
01:07:38Uh...
01:07:38Uh...
01:07:39Uh...
01:07:39Uh...
01:07:39Uh...
01:07:39Is it better?
01:07:42Worse?
01:07:44I don't know.
01:07:47It's...
01:07:47It's...
01:07:47Just...
01:07:48Different.
01:07:50Are you able to isolate
01:07:51It's the area with the strongest sensation.
01:07:56Yeah, my crotch.
01:08:03But...
01:08:04It was everywhere at once, you know?
01:08:10Oh, boy, I gotta think about this.
01:08:14I was...
01:08:15You seemed a bit upset.
01:08:18Yeah, well, look, Doc.
01:08:20I mean, there was an awful lot going on just now, you know?
01:08:27Why don't you just go away for a while?
01:08:30Yes.
01:08:32Yes, of course.
01:08:33Sleep.
01:08:38We'll talk later.
01:08:50So you did that all by yourself, did you?
01:09:03What do you think of this new plate?
01:09:24It looks all right.
01:09:27It's too far interior.
01:09:30Almost positive.
01:09:31It looked all right on the earlier plates.
01:09:34How can you be sure that this one's right and others are wrong?
01:09:37I can't.
01:09:40But he is living proof that something is wrong.
01:09:42He's still refusing food.
01:09:51And he hasn't had one minute's sleep since he started pressing that button.
01:10:00Where's Miles?
01:10:01What do you think you're doing here?
01:10:03Hello, Reese.
01:10:04Get him back to the ward.
01:10:05What have you done with Miles?
01:10:06I take you back to bed, Reese.
01:10:09Reese?
01:10:10Reese, go back to the ward.
01:10:11Miles?
01:10:13Miles?
01:10:14Reese, back.
01:10:14Is that you, Miles?
01:10:15Brace it.
01:10:18It's not that you don't even have to do anything to do.
01:10:20I'm going to leave him alone.
01:10:21Get away from me!
01:10:32Miles?
01:10:36Miles, it's...
01:10:37It's me.
01:10:41I'm like a little baby.
01:10:58It changed me, empowered me.
01:11:00Christ, I'm worse than wrong.
01:11:03Reese.
01:11:03What are you doing, Miles?
01:11:11What are you doing?
01:11:12Reese.
01:11:13This won't help, Reese.
01:11:17Where's the power?
01:11:21Please.
01:11:24Where are you going?
01:11:25Don't do that.
01:11:26Leave him.
01:11:26I tell you once.
01:11:34I don't play with you.
01:11:37Where's the power?
01:11:40Where's the power?
01:11:41Where?
01:11:41I'm going to die.
01:11:55No.
01:11:55No.
01:11:55No.
01:11:56vent.
01:11:57Mars!
01:11:58Mars!
01:11:59Mars!
01:11:59Go to Mars!
01:12:01Mars!
01:12:03Mars!
01:12:05Mars!
01:12:05Mars!
01:12:06Mars!
01:12:06Get him, Hartley!
01:12:11Hartley! Hartley! Come here!
01:12:14Take this man out of the ward!
01:12:17Get that son of a bitch back to the ward.
01:12:19You see that nobody speaks to him. Nobody.
01:12:22I see he doesn't step one foot out of that ward!
01:12:29No!
01:12:31Go to sleep.
01:12:36Let's leave.
01:12:40It's all over.
01:12:43All right, inside, private!
01:12:49You really put me on the spot, Rhys. I don't like that.
01:12:51Try to be nice to somebody, give him a pill, some good advice, huh?
01:12:55What do you get?
01:12:57Huh? Abuse!
01:12:59Oh, Shannon, give me a break. I gotta get out of here.
01:13:01Not a chance. I gotta look out for myself.
01:13:03Besides, I warned you, didn't I? Huh?
01:13:05Don't swim upstream!
01:13:07Come on, man.
01:13:08You really left me up with that Major, man.
01:13:10You don't understand.
01:13:11Yeah, man.
01:13:12And ain't that lousy doctor, he don't mean nothin'.
01:13:14It's that Major!
01:13:16And you, he's gonna take me apart just because of you, you filthy lousy creep!
01:13:20It's just a bar of soap, Chief.
01:13:22Soap in a sock!
01:13:24It hurts like hell, don't it?
01:13:27Of course, only using self-defense.
01:13:29We get a lot of weirdos around here, you know?
01:13:31The world can do it the whole lot unless...
01:13:33Oh, Leslie!
01:13:40Shannon, they own you.
01:13:46How does this feel?
01:13:48But at least I had a choice.
01:13:58That's more than I can say for you.
01:14:03Shannon.
01:14:18Is he finished?
01:14:30Okay, yes, he's finished.
01:14:33Beautiful.
01:14:35Let us present a problem.
01:14:38Beautiful.
01:14:40After 23 years studying one small portion of the human brain,
01:14:45nothing, nothing, it'll work out somehow.
01:15:02Shannon, are you all right?
01:15:04Major, Major.
01:15:15You're going to have to listen to me, doctor.
01:15:32After miles.
01:15:33When our official friends learn about this fiasco,
01:15:35they'll slice us to ribbons to save their asses.
01:15:38And the rest of the world is just looking for a story
01:15:40about the evils of modern technology.
01:15:43So they'll feed us to them.
01:15:45And you'll be the monster.
01:15:47Let me think about this, Noah.
01:15:52We'll discuss it later.
01:15:54Have you forgotten about your intuitive factory?
01:15:59Reese, you're mad?
01:16:02He despises me.
01:16:03You saw what he did.
01:16:04He's obviously psychotic.
01:16:05And you yourself have described him as hopelessly paranoid.
01:16:08That suggestion is obscene.
01:16:10Oh, come on, doctor.
01:16:11Well, you've been holding him in reserve
01:16:13ever since the experiment started.
01:16:15Go ahead, deny it if you can.
01:16:17Took him because I thought he would volunteer.
01:16:20He's a perfect psychological type.
01:16:22I thought he would leave with it.
01:16:24Well, a judge of human character, you are not.
01:16:26I will not take him against his wishes.
01:16:28You won't have to.
01:16:30Face it, doctor, you work more as a scientist than a scapegoat.
01:16:33You work more as a colonel than as a major.
01:16:35You're damn right.
01:16:36I'd be the first colonel in the history of the United States Army with more brains than bullshit.
01:16:41All right, doctor.
01:16:42Now, how do we measure Reese?
01:16:43From what you say right now, he's not even any good to himself.
01:16:47But by tomorrow, he could be the biggest breakthrough ever achieved in the treatment of mental illness.
01:16:51Well, frankly, who'd miss him?
01:16:57Who'd miss him?
01:17:01Oh, indeed.
01:17:01God help only people.
01:17:07God help only you.
01:17:16Oh, no.
01:17:31Oh, no.
01:17:31Oh, no.
01:17:33Oh, no.
01:17:33Oh, no.
01:17:34Oh, no.
01:17:35Major, why don't you volunteer?
01:17:58You're serious.
01:17:59Any volunteer is preferable to a conscript.
01:18:01Well, I'll tell you what, doctor.
01:18:05As soon as you get the bugs worked out, I'll be the first in line.
01:18:09We go with Reese.
01:18:12If you get him to sign.
01:18:13I'll see the appropriate papers immediately.
01:18:31Well, you must be very pleased.
01:18:52What did you expect?
01:18:53You volunteered.
01:18:54I didn't volunteer for anything.
01:18:57A release phone?
01:18:58Mm-mm.
01:19:00A signature?
01:19:01Sure you did, Reese.
01:19:03You signed the release along with all those other papers the night you were admitted with a broken arm.
01:19:07Please.
01:19:08You bastard.
01:19:10You needed volunteers to work with, so I gave the general order that all patients admitted to the hospital with mentally disturbed backgrounds were to be given the necessary forms to fill out for release.
01:19:21Simple as that and quite legal.
01:19:23You bastard.
01:19:25Oh, come on, doc.
01:19:28The button, Reese.
01:19:30What were you saying, doctor?
01:19:33You think you have the right to ask me to push this?
01:19:36I'm sick of hearing about rights.
01:19:39I've been involved in every classic problem in medical morality and I'm tired.
01:19:44Today I go by only one rule.
01:19:46That is to cure those diseases that I cannot prevent.
01:19:50And that goes for diseases of the mind.
01:19:51But I have nothing to cure, you know that, Miles.
01:19:53He's dying anyway.
01:20:01I'm not even sick.
01:20:04You've jeopardized his life on two occasions.
01:20:06I'm not a criminal, that's what you're saying.
01:20:07You're violent.
01:20:10You're lonely, confused.
01:20:13Frightened.
01:20:16Thoroughly unhappy.
01:20:17Oh, man.
01:20:19You don't like what you see?
01:20:19Look the other way.
01:20:23Those things you just called me.
01:20:27They're conditions, states of being.
01:20:30They're not crimes or diseases.
01:20:31They're not sins.
01:20:32They're not even fixed and constant things inside me.
01:20:36You can't burn them away like warts.
01:20:38You don't just cut them out.
01:20:39But you can override them, the way that certain drugs override pain.
01:20:44Oh, why?
01:20:44Because they're not pretty to look at?
01:20:46Because that side of reality makes people uncomfortable?
01:20:48Jesus, doctor, I need those things.
01:20:50I don't love pain, but it defines me.
01:20:53It's part of what I am.
01:20:55Who are you to come along and just erase that?
01:20:58I'm not trying to justify our methods.
01:21:02How can I when they are repugnant to me?
01:21:06But the fact is, I can help you.
01:21:10Come on, let's get this over.
01:21:40The control system is such that you will respond half a mile away.
01:21:45You're going to take this thing out of my head?
01:21:48You've got to be out of your mind, you know.
01:21:50You can't change me.
01:21:51You wouldn't know where to begin.
01:21:52I am James H. Reese.
01:21:55And you know what else I am?
01:21:57I am unique.
01:21:58You are the brother to three billion men.
01:22:00Can you deny them a better form of existence?
01:22:07Did she use it on your son?
01:22:08I have no son.
01:22:10That's not what you told Miles.
01:22:12Then I was misconstrued.
01:22:15My son is dead.
01:22:17He's very like you in many respects.
01:22:19One day he walked into his room and shot himself through the head.
01:22:24That's too bad.
01:22:26If he stuck around you, it might have brought him happiness.
01:22:29Piece of wire, spark of electricity.
01:22:32It's peace.
01:22:33Peace.
01:22:44Press the button.
01:22:46I'm such a small man, doctor.
01:22:52You do it.
01:22:53Press the button.
01:23:03All right, good man.
01:23:18Hold it.
01:23:20Not on your light, Hitler.
01:23:21That belongs to my good friend, Dr. Frederick.
01:23:24He of the Golden Tongue.
01:23:27Go on, doctor.
01:23:28You made it.
01:23:30You play with it.
01:23:33Look, I'm all set to be sacrificed for the good of humanity.
01:23:35Why the hesitation?
01:23:36You afraid to get your hands dirty?
01:23:37Look at me.
01:23:38I know you.
01:23:40I see you.
01:23:42I know what's bothering you, mister.
01:23:44You're worried about my epitaph, aren't you?
01:23:46Well, shit, man.
01:23:46That's the least I can do for a man who's going to rid me of my shabby little self.
01:23:50How about this?
01:23:52Here lies...
01:23:54What's his name?
01:23:59He wasn't so unique.
01:24:03Go on, push the button.
01:24:06Go on.
01:24:08Push that button.
01:24:09Push that button.
01:24:23I feel sorry for you.
01:24:27I really do.
01:24:28All right, the debate is over.
01:24:36If you won't do it, I will.
01:24:54God.
01:24:54I've got it.
01:25:06I've got it.
01:25:11I'm not sorry.
01:25:15So
01:25:45Ladies and gentlemen of the press, thank you for waiting so patiently.
01:26:02This, of course, is our man of the hour, Dr. Frederick.
01:26:05Oh, by the way, there'll be coffee and donuts served in the foyer after the questioning period.
01:26:09Welcome back from Washington, Doctor.
01:26:11Doctor, what were Corporal Reese's first words?
01:26:13What do you think he felt, Doctor? What did he see?
01:26:18Just God.
01:26:19God? That's all? Just God?
01:26:23I don't know.
01:26:25It may have been a visual experience. Just I know.
01:26:29Could you describe his expression? Would you say he looked happy?
01:26:33Well, why don't you meet Corporal Reese for yourselves?
01:26:35Ladies and gentlemen, not long ago, this man was a hopeless and violent schizophrenic.
01:26:45But you see him now.
01:26:47Tell him how you feel, Corporal.
01:26:51I feel fine. Just fine.
01:26:54Corporal Reese, do you ever feel unhappy or depressed?
01:26:57No, never.
01:27:01What about anger? Don't you ever get angry?
01:27:05No. Not anymore.
01:27:07I think I'll be revealing a happy fact when I tell you that Corporal Reese talked to the president on the telephone and he received a decoration.
01:27:14What did the president say, Corporal?
01:27:16He asked me how I felt.
01:27:19What did you tell him?
01:27:22I told him I felt fine.
01:27:24Tell me, Corporal, how did it feel speaking on the telephone with the president?
01:27:31It was the happiest day of my life.
01:27:33Thank you, Corporal. Thank you very much.
01:27:35Major, we've heard through the grapevine that you're due to make colonel because of this project.
01:27:39What was your role in it?
01:27:41From a military point of view, I was in charge of the project, and I'm a personal friend of the doctor's.
01:27:45But all the credit belongs to him.
01:27:48And I must say, he did one hell of a job.
01:27:51Major, what is the military's interest in this experiment?
01:27:54The military is always interested in the betterment of mankind.
01:27:57Doctor, have many failures preceded your success?
01:28:00There were no failures.
01:28:01Every step was successful in varying degrees.
01:28:04What are your plans for the immediate future, doctor?
01:28:07That's up to the military now.
01:28:09No pulling-up experiments, doctor?
01:28:11First, he's going fishing.
01:28:13Have the Russians been working in this area?
01:28:16Yes, though all indications are that we hold a substantial lead over them.
01:28:20Do you think they'll have better results than the heart transplants?
01:28:23Anything is possible.
01:28:25Well, that's it for now.
01:28:26Coffee and donuts.
01:28:28Just one more major.
