All language subtitles for The Outer Limits s07e14 Mindreacher

You like it, huh?

You're good, Dr. Vaughn.

Not so bad yourself, Dr. McGuire.

My dad used to bring me here when I was
a kid.

Isn't there a ski resort around here?

Yep, winter vacation, 1981.

Broke my leg in three places.

Out.

What a beautiful...

Many things are.

We should have come here sooner.

Well, if I'd known you had Paradise up
your sleeve.

Paradise is just an appetizer.

I guess it's not really fair to keep him
in suspense, huh?

You're right.

Ready to go back?

Hey!

Cycling brainwave! Help!

And hell, we're sightseeing at Dr.
Vaughn's bank today.

Fascinating. As usual.

Mm -hmm. I'm back.

This time he took me hiking.

And then after that, we went skydiving.

Subject A, alpha to theta, 1 .52.

Subject B, alpha to theta, 1 .7.

Separation complete.

Another perfect landing, Dr.

Siegel. Way to go, Big Kahuta.

Well, 500 incident -free journeys into
the human mind, all courtesy of our

little psionic synchronizer here, which
means... Margaritas, huh?

It means that we have successfully hit
the FDA benchmark.

Time to start rounding up volunteers for
clinical trials.

Congratulations, folks. We did it!

There is nothing wrong with your
television. Do not attempt to adjust the

picture. We are now controlling the
transmission. We control the horizontal

the vertical. We can deluge you with a
thousand channels or expand one single

image to crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to any
imagination.

A mystery which reaches from the deepest
inner mind to the outer limits.

Please stand by.

The human mind has been compared to a
house. Its rooms filled with memories,

ideas, and dreams.

Rooms which remain essentially locked
and inaccessible. But what if we could

make a master key?

500 years ago, if you were mentally ill,
they thought you were possessed by

demons. What was the treatment? A large
piece of wood, some kindling, and a book

of matches.

Okay, we laugh now, but really, has our
century gotten that much better?

You know, electroshock therapy?

The ever -popular cold water submersion?

Yeah, there's a weekend, huh?

Even psychotropic drugs like Thorazine?
We all know can do as much harm as good.

Doping patients into zombies? No, no,
no, no, no, no.

Their way failed.

They needed a new way. They needed a way
to open up another patient's mind.

They needed PSR, psionically
synchronized reality.

Mind -reaching.

Mind -reaching, to use a nickname. Yes.

Check it out. Baby voice rocks.

Anybody scrapping him into the dream
chair?

Now, we all know it was only six short
years ago we began this journey.

It was 1995.

The dead were still on tour.

Six years of sweat and determination to
bring this PSR baby from conception to

birth. And I don't have to tell anybody
here what a long, painful delivery that

was.

So I have to thank all of you here
tonight.

But most notably, I would like to thank
my colleague and chess partner, Dr.

Candice McGuire.

McGuire, more champagne for that man?

It was Dr. McGuire's psychiatric
expertise that pushed our program

exponentially.

Oh yes, and of course, of course, you
also kept the physics and chemistry grad

students from killing one another, so
thank you for that. Thank you, Candace.

And thank you, thank you one and all for
your determination, your dedication,

and your talent.

You are all pioneers.

And now, now I'd like to give you the
man.

The man who's opened his checkbook to
our research.

the man who's opened his home to our
little party, the man whose cufflinks

could zero out your student loans, I
give you Rogan University's Chancellor,

Duncan Wilder.

Thank you, Dr. Steger, for that creative
introduction.

While it's the therapist's job to better
the human condition, I believe it's my

job to better the university's
condition.

I had no choice but to put every
possible resource behind this incredible

venture. Cheers.

Sorry if I embarrassed you. No, you're
not. Not really, ma 'am. On behalf of

university... You know, your mother
would have been proud of you today.

Yeah. My dad said the same thing on the
phone this morning.

The deans of chemistry, psychology, a
toast to a swift and

triumphant clinical trial.

The sooner that mind -reaching gets to
those who need it, the better.

Next one through gets a knife.

Oh, sure.

Right in there on Chancellor's granite
countertop, right?

Trust me, granite conducts heat.

I'm sure it does, but come on.

I mean, after how hard we work a
quickie? A quickie to get a bad rash.

Oh, Kent, look, I'm serious.

I mean, last week we were in the
cloakroom at the faculty lounge, and

that we were in the medical library. I'm
starting to feel like a high school

student. Do you still have that cheer
leaving out?

Again?

You're saying you want a romance,
Doctor?

Well, I think that romance gets a bad
rap.

Okay, good.

We have to hurry and no spats for this
time.

Dr. McGuire.

And Dr. Vaughn.

Uh, we were just on our way back.

If I might tell you for a moment,
there's something I've been anxious to

you about.

Ken, would you excuse us?

Certainly.

What's the nature of these voices that
she says she hears?

Do they have an identity or a source?

They're, uh...

embodied, distorted, taunting.

We've been to every kind of specialist
we could find.

They can't explain it, and neither can
she.

Auditory hallucinations.

I think mind -reaching could help.

Going inside my daughter's mind might
reveal the source of the voices, maybe

give us a better idea of how to treat
her. With all due respect.

Chancellor, we're just in the beginning
of political trials. There's a risk

that's involved. Look, Dr. McGuire, I'm
as much a stickler for protocol as

anyone, but I don't know how much longer
Judith can hold up.

All of her friends have gone on to high
school without her. She's broken off

contact with almost everyone she knows
because she... She doesn't know when the

voices are going to come or what they're
going to say.

I'm losing her, Candace.

Dr. Siegel tells me.

About your work at the clinic.

You have a great connection.

A really honest connection with the
patients.

She'll be safe with you, I know it.

You know, up until now, it's just been
us researchers.

She would be the first true test of the
PSR.

Can I meet her?

This is Alice, my nanny.

I keep calling you that.

That's all right, sweetheart.

Judith thinks she's too old for a nanny
now.

Well, it's nice to meet you.

Likewise.

You really have an amazing room here,
Judith.

Yes.

Bet you can't wait to get out of it,
huh?

I'd like to get her in as soon as
possible.

It's not going to hurt, though, right?

Oh, no, no, no. It's going to just be a
tiny little pinprick, that's all.

Scouts on her.

I don't know very much of a Girl Scout.

Oh, no?

I was.

Brownies on up.

The whole drill.

Cookie sales, you're looking at her
number two overall.

923.

Who came in first?

Monica Betterman.

And yes, that was her actual name.

Mm -hmm.

Okay. You're going to use this to
monitor your heart rate and your brain

during the session.

Okay?

You know, you've already made a huge
step towards getting better.

How? How? You left your room.

You came all the way down here, and you
trusted me, and I appreciate that.

Sure.

Have you ever known anyone else who was
sick like me?

Yes.

You know, you're allowed to be upset
about everything you've gone through.

Sometimes it's really good to be mad.

I would if I knew who to get mad at.

Okay, I'm going to be right here holding
your hand.

What's that?

That is the tiny little machine that
they put under the skin of my palm.

It attaches itself to a main nerve in my
hand.

And it uses the nerve to talk to my
brain like a little phone line. I'm

put the same little guy under your skin.

If you look on the monitor over there,
that's the little device.

And that's going to be able to talk to
me and tell my brain to match my

brainwaves to your brainwaves.

You know, it's kind of like a little
mini -network.

And when the brainwaves are matched
exactly, we're going to be in sync and

going to be able to read your
unconscious mind.

Kind of like tuning into a radio
station.

And that's PSR.

Bionically Synchronized Reality.

Sounds complicated.

Now, you ever feel like you sometimes
read someone else's mind?

Yeah.

Sometimes I'll be humming a tune or
something and my dad will be like, hey,

was just thinking about that.

Well, that's all it is really.

It's simple.

It's just going to be you and me and
these tiny little machines under our

It's safe.

Come on.

I promise. Trust me.

Ready?

It's all right. I'm here now.

Look at what if you sit there.

I'm not afraid.

Hey, you're that doctor.

Yes.

Everything looks so different.

We're in your subconscious.

This is how you feel about your life
right now.

You look different, Tim.

I know. I would leave my lab coat
behind. I guess that's just part of my

subconscious at work, too.

My dad says you're going to make it
better.

I'm going to try.

You're not like all the others.

You're like me.

You're a dick.

You're a dick.

Judith, listen.

You're not alone.

Listen to me.

Judith, you're not going home. Wait,
don't watch out. I'm right here. I'm

here. I can see you.

I can see you.

I can see you.

Yes, you can. You can use your strength.
Whatever they say, you say it right

back to them. Yes,

you can.

Do it, Judith. Do it. Believe in
yourself.

I'm not afraid.

Okay,

Judith. Just wait.

BP 100 over 60.

Heart rate descending to normal.

Welcome back.

Do you remember anything?

No, not really.

It felt like I had a scary daydream or
something.

I'm not sure.

Is that when it didn't work? No, no, no,
no. It takes hours of training to learn

how to remember a PSR experience. When
we first started, it was just like

dreaming, too.

Did I do okay?

Oh, you did great.

I think that we are on the right track
here.

If you're willing to come back again.

It's from Judith's PSR.

She scratched me during my reaching and
it manifested itself in reality.

Are you sure? Yeah, I'm positive.

Safeguards were supposed to be
foolproof. I know.

After some early indications of mind
-body connection, we altered the

I have been through everything. I've
been through every system check, every

protocol, every circuit, trying to find
an answer. I'm completely stumped.

I mean, if PSR has this kind of
variable, it's unsafe.

You haven't exactly tried everything.

Going back into the PSR to examine what
really happened is the only thing that

makes sense.

Ken, it's possible that being injured in
PSR can result in trauma in reality.

Done it a hundred times, never had any
serious problems.

The cheated session was different. Why?

Only one way to find out.

Going back into your memory.

Hold on, I gotta concentrate more.

Poor kid.

This isn't exact, but it was all pretty
quick.

My dad says you're gonna make me better.

She said she thinks I can help her.

You can, you will.

Show me where it happened.

He was freaking out from the voices and
then she ran under the bed.

And then the door opened and the nanny
was there.

I'm here, sweetheart.

Does that make it better or worse?

Better. Alice is a safety net. A touch
of dumb.

Judith's mom died of Parkinson's when
she was four.

Could be her childhood trauma.

Yeah.

Then we were... Right there, we were
both trying to calm her down and then...

That's when just a scratch happened.

Ken and I felt completely isolated like
some sort of freak.

You said, I felt completely isolated.

Your mind was so convinced that you were
scratched, your skin cells mimicked an

actual scratch.

You're saying because I identify so
strongly on a personal level that that

connection is what overrode the
safeguard?

Let's think this through. It's the first
session of a real patient, a young girl

who also lost her mother.

She does remind me of me at that age.

Except I was angry at the world, and
she's so accepting.

I mean, nobody should have to accept
what she's going through. No one. In

words?

In other words, my emotional bond to the
child is what put me at risk.

Bingo.

You're brilliant.

No. We are. Oh, if you're right, there's
hope. We can fix this.

It's a step back, but it's not a
complete disaster.

We just adjust the sensitivity range on
the theta match.

But we only have a very narrow margin.
If we make the sensitivity range too

wide, then mind -reaching is not going
to be possible.

Distancing our brain waves only
slightly. What are you smirking at?

You were vulnerable a minute ago.

I saw it.

I've never seen you completely let your
guard down.

I like to enjoy it for a minute. That's
okay.

Sure.

Oh, so when you found me tonight, ready
to throw myself off a bridge, you

thought that was sexy?

The fact that you didn't throw yourself
off.

Your commitment.

Your passion.

That's sexy.

You're not actually trying to seduce me
here, are you?

No, I would never think of doing
anything like that.

Nice dress.

Hey, we're in your mind.

finding solutions and vulnerability.

Ken. Ken.

Ken, wake up. Wake up. Wake up. Ken.

Ken.

Ken.

Ken, wake up.

No.

Ken. Ken, wake up. Wake up.

Please, wake up.

running tests all day.

The coma's been assessed as a Glasgow
Bevel 3.

Conditions anything but acceptable.

Oh, my God.

There's no sign of trauma, which means
that there's got to be some

reason for it.

You should have come to me about the
scratch.

I was going to.

When?

What happened during Judith Wilder's
session wasn't some minor complication.

You two acting like the rest of the team
didn't even matter.

Chip and Andy, what this has cost us,
what it's cost you.

I don't know what else to say.

I know I was wrong. I'm sorry.

Sorry can't fix it.

No.

No, it can't.

We bring the PSR gun and the microtech,
and we bring it here to Ken. I mean,

it's designed to be portable.

Candace! Ken and I came up with a theory
about the scratch.

Well, that makes sense.

I need to get back in there and try to
help him wake up.

You haven't heard.

I've heard you. I have. Look, I know the
PSR is... This could be our only way

that we're going to reach him.

That's not what I mean. It's not up to
me. We'll get his family to assign you

a primary doctor.

Listen to me, okay?

Some things have changed in the past 24
hours. What things?

The labs closed.

We're locked out.

Chancellor Wilder's order to psionic
research shut down.

It wasn't a decision I made lightly or
in haste.

I thought about it.

For a whole two days?

Chancellor, after supporting us so
valiantly for two years, and...

It's bewildered.

I mean, less than a week ago, we stood
in that kitchen and you begged me to

you. Please.

It's bad enough that Dr. Vaughn is in a
coma.

That I volunteered my daughter for a
procedure that's potentially

It was going to help her.

And it still can.

Look, I understand how you can be
spooked with it. I do.

But we've got so much to gain here.

It's just a few steps back.

That's all.

I'm sorry.

So what, Judith, was the only reason
that you supported PSR research?

How can you suggest that?

I wanted to see it change the face of
mental health as much as anyone.

Then don't give up on us now when we
need you the most.

Please.

No, my decision is final.

You do that.

Just kill six years of Herculean efforts
with a phone call.

Aren't you right off the millions, but
you could use the tax break, huh?

Candace, I suggest you curb your tone.

Ken needs our help, and I need to get
back in there.

Dr. Vaughn was a respected... Is a
respected and valued member of our

I want to see him wake up as much as you
do. P .S .R.

Just one more time.

Chancellor, please.

There is no one more time.

There is no more lab.

I .D.?

You

can take personal files, but the
equipment has to go to storage.

Thank you.

I said personal files only. All that
equipment, they're going in storage.

I said no equipment, period.

I'm sorry.

Please, lady. Change.

Lady. Lady.

Oh, my God.

Oh,

my God. This can't be. I'm

here,

sweetheart.

These people lost!

Now leave me here!

This isn't happening.

Oh God, what have I done?

Okay, let's go!

Is he bothering you, miss?

I'm sorry. I had to go. Give me the
watch out.

He's coming. He's coming for you. You've
got to get away from him.

You've got to save yourself.

The line between PSR and reality was
completely blurred.

I was locked in this man's mind with his
demons.

No, don't.

It could happen again. I'm not in
control.

Just by touching you spontaneously?

No matching microtech device.

It's like this new hyper -evolved
version of mind -reaching.

I mean, the homeless guy was clearly
bipolar, but it wasn't just that. It

The guy was different, too.

Only he felt more like myself than I
ever did before.

And my mom was there.

Just like the day that they took her
away.

Like one of my own memories actually
followed me into that man's mind.

And the exit sequence didn't work.

The security guard had to pull him off
of me. And then we were slammed back

reality.

What is it? What?

Just...

I gotta stay off the double lattes.

Mm -hmm.

Okay, okay.

Tell me what you need.

I know you got a first -generation PSR
gun here in the house.

I need you to take this microtech out of
my hand and reinsert it the right way

so it'll work properly so I can help
Ken.

I promise no one's ever going to know
that you helped me.

I'm not worried about that, Candace. I'm
worried about you.

You've injected yourself with
malfunctioning technology that's no

play with.

The catcher is you've injected it the
wrong way.

What? Why did you stop looking? I can't
find it. I mean, the tracking unit shows

nothing. You must have completely missed
the target nerve. What?

The macro tech is no longer in your
hand.

What do you mean? It has to be.

The gun was loaded. I performed the
injection sequence.

The microtech launched.

If you had a vein by accident... No.

You were rushed.

If the microtech migrates into your
bloodstream, it's going to search for a

strong electrical impulse to recharge.

Yeah, but I mean... Where?

No.

Joe, my brain, right?

It's dead center.

The headache.

The erratic.

PSR, no wonder.

I'm sure there's a surgery that they...
Yeah, it's called an autopsy.

I'm no good anyway anymore.

What have I done?

Dr. McGuire, what are you doing here?

Are you okay?

I have to go see Judith.

I, uh, I gotta go. Say goodbye.

She's gone to bed.

Maybe if you came back tomorrow.

Look, I just have to talk to her.

Okay, I just have to explain that I'm
not going to be able to help her

Actually, she's not feeling well. I'm
sure she'll understand about everything.

Another day. There might not be another
day.

There's a private home doctor.

Dr. Wilder!

You are not permitted to see her at this
time. I must ask you to stop.

Hey.

I just wanted to tell you. What do you
think you're doing?

Can you just give me a minute? You are
not permitted to hear this person.

You are not permitted to leave.

You see, she still needs me.

If she still needs you, then I still
need you.

Then I still need you.

Then I still need you. Then I still need
you.

Then I still need you.

Then I still need you.

What is the problem?

Dr. McGuire?

What did you just do to me?

It's you.

You've been doing this to keep her here
so you can stay?

Dr. McGuire, if this is your way of
getting back... Tell him, Alice.

I don't know what you're talking about.
The poison that you're giving her, huh?

What was it?

What was it?

What is going on?

John McCain, of course.

She's giving... Judith had drug for
Parkinson's disease.

I believe that's your late wife's
prescription.

I found that while I was tidying up. I
never... This was filled last month.

She's been dead ten years.

I can explain.

Yeah, one of the side effects for
triminocaine is auditory hallucinations.

Why?

I just needed more time.

It was just for more time.

Only because... Because I love you.

Oh, my God.

God, oh, my God. It doesn't do permanent
damage.

I checked first.

I would never hurt her.

I would never hurt her.

I knew you'd come eventually.

I got nothing to lose at this point.

His brain waves are getting weaker.

You know the way this thing is hardwired
into your brain that all bets are off.

Inconsistent, it's erratic. Yeah, well,
if this works, that's good for the both

of us.

You're the one who told me that the exit
sequence doesn't work anymore. How do

you plan on getting back?

Just give me a half an hour and then
separate us. There is no way to predict

what's going to happen. You could end up
in a coma or worse.

I'll see him in my bed.

Okay?

Ken.

Ken.

Listen, we have to help each other now.

I'm so tired.

I know, but you've got to stay with me,
okay?

We don't have much time.

I know.

Listen, Ken, in your subconscious mind,
you're awake.

But your conscious mind, you're fat and
sweet.

Ken, Ken, are you on any medication?

Drugs of any kind, huh?

No drugs.

Ken, Ken, listen. You see, in PSR, you
were exposed to something that induced a

coma. All right? We've got to figure out
what it was.

Help me.

Was it the alcohol, the champagne?

Come on. Help me help you, Ken.

Oh, God. I'm losing you.

Baby, please.

Oh, what is that?

What is that?

Ken, that's allergies.

All right. Ken, you got allergies,
honey. What is it? What are you allergic

Mildew.

Yeah.

Come on.

The strawberries.

I was eating strawberries.

Ken. Ken, you didn't have the
strawberries. That was me.

All right, Ken.

We got medicine.

We got medicine.

Ken.

Ken. Ken. This is a strawberry antidote.
Just take my word for it.

All right? Believe me.

Open your mouth.

Okay? Take it down. Take it down. There
you go.

There you go.

That's going to make you well.

There you go.

Okay, just believe me.

Just got to believe me.

Okay. All right.

Cycling up.

3 ,000, 2 ,000, 1 ,000.

You've only been in five minutes.

The exit sequence. It worked this time.
I guess I got some control.

Concentration is the key.

What about Ken?

Oh, God.

Be a good doctor, McGuire.

That's a bad name, so don't do that.

Come here, man.

Cycling up. 3 ,000. 2 ,000. 1 ,000.

It's free.

I can come to you.

You don't even have to make an
appointment.

The clinic's open 24 hours a day.

I haven't been needing the pills as much
since you've been visiting me out here.

Thanks. You take care.

You ready?

Yeah, it didn't take too long, right?

Come on.

I'm all the way.

Okay,

my dad said I can't have anything that
shows my stomach.

But that's lame. He doesn't know what's
up.

It's all about midriff.

Whoops.

If we are going to

delve into the true secrets of the human
soul, we must be prepared to deal with

the demons that reside there.
