[playing cheerful tune]

[Dr. Molstad] Now
this is where we work
with all our test subjects.

As you can see, we test
the entire range of emotions

from happiness to sadness
and fear and so on.

That's one of our
newest patients, Jennifer.

Poor dear.

Most kids
would be laughing.

Jenny, we call her.

She's also one
of our most severe cases.

Hi, Jenny.

[puppy whimpering]

That's a perfect example
of what I've been
talking about.

She has no desire
to play with the puppy,

to cuddle with it,
anything else.

Jenny doesn't know
what it's like

to laugh or cry, be happy,
sad, afraid, angry.

She doesn't experience
any of the basic emotions,

emotions that the rest of us
take for granted.

It's kind of amazing

that you would
talk this way
in front of her.

Think I'm insensitive?
No, no.

No, Jenny was born
with this condition.

Alexithymia.

Primary alexithymia,

caused by a genetic
neuro-physiological defect,

which means she's never had
any feelings that can be hurt.

If you could graph emotions

the way you graph
a heartbeat or a brainwave,

most of my patients
would be flat-lining.

If they don't
feel anything,

how do they survive
in the outside world?

Oh, well, just because
they're void emotionally

doesn't mean
they're void intellectually.

Most of them fake it
as they grow older.

They see someone laugh,
and they laugh.

Or they fake
a smile or two.

-[knock on door]
-Yes, come in.

I'm sorry to interrupt.

There's something on television
I think you should see.
Excuse me.

[announcer on TV]
You're seeing live pictures
of a hostage-taking in progress

in the downtown core.

We go now to our reporter
on the scene,
Adrian Wheeler.

[Wheeler] A little over
40 minutes ago,

two men, both of them armed,
apparently robbed the store.

A shoot-out with police
occurred outside

as the robbers
attempted to escape.

As a result,
one robber is dead.

The other suspect
is holding a hostage
at gunpoint

in this parking lot
right next to the store.

The hostage,
I think it's Beth.

A police detective
is now entering
the parking lot.

I believe he'll attempt
a face-to-face negotiation
with the suspect.

The suspect,
as I mentioned,
is armed.

He's holding a store employee,

a woman, as hostage.

Can you zoom in
on this, Jimmy?

We have a name now
on the hostage.

Her name
is Elizabeth Carter.

She looks remarkably calm
considering the situation
that she's in.

She's one of
your patients.

Mm-hmm.

She's completely
without emotion.

-[gunshot]
-[Wheeler] Oh, my God!
Oh, no.

Is the hostage okay?

Yes, she's still standing.
But the robber is down.

Once again, the hostage
Beth Carter is unharmed,

and she looks
surprisingly unaffected

by what
she's just been through.

[Control Voice]
There is nothing wrong
with your television.

Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling
the transmission.

We control the horizontal
and the vertical.

We can deluge you
with a thousand channels

or expand one single image
to crystal clarity

and beyond.

We can shape your vision

to anything our imagination
can conceive.

For the next hour,

we will control
all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from
the deepest inner mind

to The Outer Limits.

[Control Voice] It is said
that emotions are
the language of the soul.

But what happens
when that expression is muted?

What becomes of feelings
that have no voice?

Hi, Beth,
how are you?

Fine.

Come on.

[knocking at door]

Come in.

Beth is here.

Oh. Sure, send her in.

Beth, hi.
Please sit down.

How are you today?

Fine.

Well, that was
quite an experience

you went through
day before last.

Experience?

[Dr. Molstad] Yeah,
the armed robbery,

being held hostage.

The police shot the man.

Yes, I know, yeah.

Did you feel anything
about that?

The man who held you hostage
being killed?

No.

Well, that's why
I brought you in here today.

Beth, I think
it's possible

for you to take
a huge step forward
in your therapy.

It would require that
you undergo an operation

where an implant,
a tiny device,

designed to stimulate
the neurotransmitters
responsible for emotions

be placed directly
inside your brain.

-Emotions?
-Yeah.

You'd be the first person
to try it.

It's something
we've been working on
for a very long time.

For me?

Yeah, well, your disorder
makes you a perfect test case

for the implant.

If we're successful,
this could help
many more people.

Millions of people, Beth.

This technology can make
anti-depressants,
anti-psychotics,

Prozac even, obsolete.

This would not only change
your world, Beth.

It would change the world.

[surgeon] Okay, everyone,

I'm cutting through
the dura now.

How's she doing, Bill?

[Bill] She looks stable.

[surgeon] Okay,

clamp, please.

You look like
an expectant father.

Well, if this works...

You'll have reinvented
the treatment
of mental illness

in one fell swoop.

Hopefully so.

That's what this is
all about, isn't it?

Honestly,
I was thinking about Beth.

[surgeon]
A little suction
here, please.

We have the chance
to introduce technicolor

into the life of a woman

who's only ever lived
in black and white.

That's what this is about,

isn't it?

Of course.

And the billions
of dollars
it will generate

has nothing
to do with it.

Well...

[surgeon] I'm inserting
the implant now.

[woman on TV]
From the beginning
of civilization,

the human race
has continually searched

for better ways to understand
the mysteries of the weather.

Of course, some methods
were more reliable than others.

But now we use
the latest technology

to bring you accurate
and up-to-the-minute
weather reporting.

Any change?

No.

Damn!

We checked the implant
just before lunch.

It was working
beautifully.

You'd never know
to look at her.

[man on TV]
The predictions
are based on the fact

that there's been
about twice the normal amount
of snow cover on the ground.

Last spring, of course,

the flooding affected
a massive area in
the southern part of the state.

Is that something
we've seen before?

Is that
an expression?

That program she's watching,

she wants to change
the channel.

She's bored with it,
or dissatisfied with it.

Officials in both North Dakota
and Minnesota

are also predicting
massive flooding.

The show-pack there
has been record-breaking
this winter.

Many areas have seen
up to three times more snow
than usual.

Meantime, in western Illinois--

She did it!

She did it!
Look at her!

She felt a need.

She expressed a desire.

She did that all on her own.

That implant
is starting to work.

[woman on TV]
You can't be thinking
of going in there.

[Dr. Molstad]
Now you know
the rules.

Smoke before fire.

That means you start.

You didn't like that, did you?

Good for you.

[doctor] As you know,
a good goat will do that.

[laughing]

Come on.

What do you think?

Is this really yours?

Come on.

It is so pretty.

One day you'll have
a place of your own
just like it.

-[cat meows]
-[Joan] Hey, Mulligan.

-Come here, boy.
-You have a cat?

Yeah. What's life
without a cat?
Want to pet him?

Yeah.

Would you like
to hold him?

Yeah.

[crashing]

Beth, it's okay.
It's okay.
Beth, it's okay.

It's just...
There's some workmen
doing renovations upstairs.

That's all it is, okay?
It's nothing.

I should have warned you,
I'm sorry.

Actually some of them
are kind of cute, the workmen.

I mean...

Okay, maybe I'm moving
a little fast there, yeah?

You know,
I think the first thing
we need to do...

We need to do something
with this look of yours.

My look?

Yeah, yeah, come on.

Joan.

Wow.

I don't know
if I can do this.

Oh, sure you can.

Not like the first day
at a new job.

Just picking up
where you left off.

Everyone will want
to know how I am.

How are you?

I'm scared.

That's good.

That's how
it should be.

You look great.

Thank you...

For everything.

She'll do fine.

I don't know.

We knew that fear
would be

one of the hardest emotions
for her to deal with.

She's fine.

She's showing
a tremendous amount of courage.

[horn honking]

Hey lady,
you forgot to pay me!

I'm sorry.

I've never been
excited before.

Sorry!

Hi.

Hello.

Joan!

Joan?

No Joan.

[banging]

Jerks.

Mulligan! Here, kitty, kitty!

[echoing voices]

[voices stop]

[voices continue]

[screaming]

Oh...

You had a real scare
thrown into you.

Are you all right?

I think so.

Oh, you don't have
to be afraid of him.

It's true that's a face
that only a mother
or someone like me could love,

but he's harmless.

I ought to know.
I've been married to him
for 40 years.

Sorry I scared you.

The front door was ajar.

I wanted to make sure
the place wasn't
getting robbed.

We're your
new neighbors
from down the hall.

-I'm Dolly, and this is--
-Mike Kellerman.
Nice to meet you.

-You must be
Joan's new roommate.
-Yes.

I don't know who's prettier,
her or Joan.

Joan is much prettier
than I am.

[Dolly] Don't sell
yourself short.

You're no slouch
in the looks department either.

Beth,
what happened?

Nothing happened.

Mike saw your
front door was ajar,

thought he'd stick
his considerably large nose

in here to investigate.

-Scared her a little,
that's all.
-That's all.

You left the door open?

I...I don't remember.

I just...Voices.

What voices?

Beth. What voices?

It was nothing.

It was nothing.

You need to be
a little more careful.

This is
a pretty safe building,

but you should always
leave the door locked,

especially if you're
here by yourself.

Okay.

So I see
you've met Dolly and Mike.

Yes, actually
they've been very nice to me.

The rumors that
we're a couple of old ogres

have been greatly exaggerated.

[Joan] Beth, you still
look a little weak.

I'm gonna call Kevin
and tell him no
about tonight.

-Kevin?
-Yeah, he's a friend of mine
who lives downstairs.

In 1A?

Yeah. He invited us to dinner
on his boat.

But I'll tell him
we'll take a rain check.

No, I'd
like to go.

I would really like to go.

[Kevin] So I went
from hammering nails
for a living

to hiring other people
to hammer nails

to buying and renovating
old apartment buildings,

including the one we live in.

[Beth]
You're a landlord?

[Kevin] Oof. You say that
with such distaste.

No, you don't look
like a landlord.

What do landlords
look like? Pray, tell.

Like Mike Kellerman.

Now he looks like
a landlord.

[laughing] Beth bumped
into Mike today.

Oh. I hope he's okay.

Oh!

So, who are you?

That's what
I'd like to know.

Here I've been
rambling on and on
about myself all night.

-Typical.
-Hey, watch it now.

Besides, you've
been hanging
on every word.

Dream on, buddy.

I love hearing you talk.

I mean, this has
pretty much been
the best dinner I've ever had,

the food, the conversation.

I used to pretty much
always eat alone.

Well, this may not be
the best meal I've ever cooked,

but...

And I can't remember when
I've had two more charming
dinner companions.

Joan!

Joan!

Joan!

[banging]

Jerks.

Joan, where are you?

Joan?

Joan?

Shoot.

[knocking]

Joan?

[car alarm beeping]

[echoing voices]

Stop it! Just stop it!

[echoing voices]

Oh, I scared you.

I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I hate doing laundry.

I don't mind.

You still seem sort of jumpy.

Is everything
all right?

I think my imagination
is playing tricks on me.

Mike accuses me of that
all the time.

Know what
I tell him?

You believe anything you want,
but I've seen what I've seen,

and I know
what I know.

What have you seen?

Would you believe the inside
of an alien spaceship?

You've heard
about people

Being abducted by aliens,
haven't you?

Well, of course you have.

It's all over the TV.

I thought all that stuff
was, you know,
that was made up.

That's what the government
wants you to think,

but it's
really happening.

Take my word for it.

What... What do they
look like?

Same ones who abduct
everybody else.

Gray ones.

Their faces
look dead,

except for their eyes.

And it looks like
they could see
right inside me,

right inside my brain.

What did they do to you?

Anything they wanted.

They had
this sort of

long metal
probe thing.

Well, I don't want
to go into details,

but it doesn't
take much imagination,

if you know what I mean.

Oh...That's awful, awful.

Yeah.

Still have nightmares.

Still hear their voices.

Voices?

Yeah, inside my brain.

This constant chattering

like they were
all talking at once.

Beth, this is
Dr. Molstad.

Dr. Molstad,
I was trying to reach Joan.

Are you all right?

I'm fine. I just need
to ask Joan something.

She's already left.

I don't know if she was
going straight home or not,

but I'm pretty sure
she'll be there shortly.

You sure
I can't help you?

No, I mean, yes.

I'll just wait till
she gets home, thank you.

[meowing]

Mulligan!

Mulligan!

Mulligan!

[echoing voices]

You're not real.

I'm just hearing things.

There's nobody here.

There's nobody else here.

[echoing voices]

I'm not going to let you
get in the way of my new life,

especially some stupid
mindless chattering

that doesn't really exist!

Stop!

[voices fading away]

[voices returning]

[screaming]

Beth, what's wrong?

Beth, what happened?
What's wrong?

What happened?
What happened?

What happened?
What's wrong?

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

[Joan] She said
she saw Mulligan

right outside
the front door dead.

Scared me half to death.

But Kevin
came up here first.

He didn't see
any sign of the cat
or an intruder.

I'm sure
he's not dead.

He has a kitty door.
He comes and he goes.

I'm sure he's
gonna be back.

Yes, I'm sure he will.

She said something
was in the apartment,
not someone.

But she refuses
to say what.

Whatever it was
scared her
half to death,

if there really
was something.

Do you think
she hallucinated
the entire episode?

She said something to me
the other day
about hearing voices.

But she didn't want
to talk about that.

[Kevin] You need one of
my super gourmet
home-cooked meals

served by candlelight.

What do you say?

We'd like to speak
to Beth alone.

Sure, no problem.

Think about what I said.

Tomorrow night,
I'll come up here.

Okay.

Thanks, Kev,
for everything.

No problem.
I'll be downstairs
if you need me.

-Bye.
-Bye.

[clearing throat]

Well, Beth, um,

it might be
a good idea

for you to come back
to the institute
for a few days,

just for observation.

It might be best
just for now.

It's possible the implant
is creating some
side effects for you.

I don't want to go back.

You don't understand.

I never knew
how amazing it all was,

how ice cream
tastes,

how flowers smell,

how someone smiles at you.

-Just because--

Before, I...

People always talked about
these feelings, feelings,

feelings...I thought
they just seemed to be

something that
other people had.

But now I know.

I know how precious they are,

and I never
want to lose them ever.

I'm not suggesting
that the implant be removed.

I won't let you.

I won't let you.

I mean, it's mine now, right?

It's in my own head.
I own it.

I just need to learn
how to control
my imagination

a little bit better,
that's all.

What was it
you thought you saw?

Nothing.

It was nothing.

I just got frightened.

It's over now.

It's over, I'm okay.

And I'm not going to go back.

All right.

I want you
to stay here tomorrow,

keep an eye on her,
see how she's doing.

Another incident like that,
I want her back
at the institute immediately,

no ifs, ands or buts.

Would you like
some wine?

Please.

Where's your
partner in crime?

She's out with some friends.

I could call her
on her cellphone,
if you like.

No, no,
that's okay.

I was just curious.

I made enough
for three,
just in case.

Oh.

You don't like it?

No, it's fine.

It's not bad.

It's not bad.

Beth... I hope you don't think
this is the reason
I cooked for you.

I'm sorry,
I didn't mean to--

-[glass shatters]
-No, no,
it's okay.

-I'm sorry.
-No, no, it's okay.

I just didn't want
you to think--

I mean, I didn't expect...

I'm sorry.

Can you turn the lights off?

Sure, no problem.

This one too?

Yeah.

[echoing voices]

[screaming]

No! Stop it!

No! Stop it!

No! No!

Stop! No! No!

No! No!

No! No! No! Stop! No!

No!

No! No!

No! Don't!

No! No!

No!

[muffled screaming]

Beth?

Beth?

Beth?

Can you hear me?

Beth?

Beth, look at me.

Look at me.

It's me,
it's Dr. Molstad.

You got to hold on
a little while longer.

We're gonna have to
take the implant out.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

The implant is malfunctioning.

We're going to
take it out.

Take it out?

Yes, it's not
working properly.

No!

I'm sorry--

The neurosurgeon
can't get here
for another hour.

Damn it, that's
not good enough!

I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.

No, I don't want an operation.

I know,
but it has to come out.
It's too dangerous.

No! No! No!

Dr. Molstad!

-He's coming right back.
-No!

Okay, I'll go get him. Okay?

No, I don't want
to take it out!

No, I don't want
to take it out!

Sam, that's not good enough.

You're not listening to me.

I need you here now
as fast as you can get here.

It can't wait.
It's got to come out now

before something else
happens.

She wants to see you
right now.

Okay, okay, please.
Yes, how long?

20 minutes, great.
Get going.

I'll be here
waiting for you.

You left her alone?

She got agitated
when you weren't there.

I didn't know
what to do.

[ringing buzzer]

[man] Come on up.

[meowing]

Mulligan?

[meowing]

Mulligan?

Mulligan...
How's the boy?

Hey, get back here!

Mulligan!

Come here, boy!

Come here, Mulligan.

Here, boy.

Come here, boy.

Ah, the hell with you.

You can stay in here
and rot for all I care.

[gasping]

[echoing voices]

[man] How the hell
did she escape?

[woman] Who knows?
Who cares?

The important thing is
she's gonna come back here.

When she does, I want her
to see Mulligan alive and well.

[Kevin] Did you tell
Dolly and Mike?

[Joan] Yeah, they know
to keep up the act.

They want more money.

Surprise.

Come on, unlock the door.

Yeah, yeah.

[Joan] Mulligan!

Here, kitty, kitty.

You know, she might
not even come back.

I mean, that implant
must be fried after what
we put her through.

I can't believe
you slept with her, Kevin.

Sorry, babe.

I had to occupy her somehow
until the drugs kicked in.

Besides, she was out
before we even finished.

Yeah, right.

[chuckling]

I'll miss these guys.

How much do you think
the corporation spent on 'em?

Hundred grand, maybe more.

I can't believe
they spent that much.

When Molstad's implant
is a failure,

our company
has the market cornered
with our own version.

You have any idea
how much money
we're talking about?

As long as I get a piece.

Mulligan, where are you?

Come on.

Come on, boy.

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Mulligan, come on out.

[Kevin] Oh, here he is.

Very funny.

[meowing]

Oh, there he is.

There he is. Mulligan.

What are you doing in here,
you crazy boy?

Come on.

[Kevin] Let's get
out of here.

[Joan] Mulligan!

[meowing]

Forget about the stupid cat.

We did it, we're rich.

Let's celebrate.

[both chuckling]

[Joan] Maybe we should
get downstairs.

[Kevin] Quit worrying.

If Beth does show,

we'll just wrap her up again
and take her back to Molstad.

He'll dig the implant
out of her brain

and slap a label on it,
"defective."

[screaming]

[both screaming]

[bodies thudding]

[woman on PA]
Dr. Hawthorne,
call on line three.

Dr. Hawthorne, line three.

Well, that's it, the results
of the hearing are in.

Because of the unusual nature
of the case,

and because you've reverted
to your old self,

you cannot now
possibly understand

the emotions
behind what you did.

You won't be held responsible

for the deaths of Joan Garrison
and Kevin Flynn.

The Kellermans'
confession helped.

They said they were actors
playing roles
they were hired to do.

Of course with that spaceship

and the accoutrements
right up there
in that apartment,

it would have been pretty hard
to deny anyway.

But what about you?

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

It doesn't bother you
that implant is
still in your brain?

No.

Well, it's harmless.

It's burned itself out.

All the behavioral tests
confirm that.

There would be
no point

in going through
painful surgery
to remove it.

I'm truly sorry that
it's turned out
this way, Beth.

For both of us.

Don't worry, baby,
I'm home.
