[indistinct voice] Bernard.

[creaking]

Who is it?

[creaking]

[door creaks]

Who's there?

Hello, Bernard.

Go away.

You go away.

No.

What makes you think
you have any more right
to be here than I do?

I'm sorry.
Leave me alone.

What are you going to do,
kill me?

[Bernard whimpering]

Kill me like you killed
your little sister?

Are you going
to set me on fire
like you did Mimi?

I didn't mean it!

You're a sniveling
little coward.

That's all you are, Bernard.
And a baby killer.

No!

Yes, yes, yes.

You know what they do
to baby killers, Bernard?

Pyromaniac baby killers?

[babbling]

No, no!

Let the punishment
fit the crime.

[laughter]

[maniacal laughter]

[maniacal laughter echoes]

[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]
Experience teaches
that of all the emotions,

fear stands alone
in its power to move us

or to capture us
in its grip forever.

Morning.

[horn honking]

[Car alarm blaring]

[indistinct cacophony]

Hello, Bernard.

[driver] You okay?

[rock music playing]

[indistinct voice] Bernard.

[Doctor]
Bernard Seldon, 27,

Suffered a trauma at age 6
from which he never recovered.

In the midst
of a raging tantrum,

he started a fire
in his orphanage

which resulted in the death
of his 4-year-old sister.

Bernard,
you had us worried.

We weren't sure
you were going to make it.

[Doctor]
In all my years
of studying mood disorders,

I have never seen a patient
so crippled by his phobias.

Bernard lives in a world
filled with chronic, pernicious
hallucinatory terrors.

[female doctor]
As you might expect,
he's been rendered

effectively dysfunctional.

You've got to wonder,

what is he seeing?

[male doctor]
So far he's been impervious

to conventional
somatic therapies.

And you really think
you can help this man.

Dr. Osgoode,

if this procedure
lives up to
its promise,

we are gonna be able
to help him
vanquish his fears forever.

Just relax now.

The sedative should be
taking effect.

[female doctor]
Bernard's life
is dominated by fear.

He lurches from
one panic attack
to the next.

It's these attacks,
often accompanied
by catastrophic migraines

that Dr. Pike's procedure
is designed
to significantly moderate,

and with luck,
eliminate altogether.

[Dr. Pike]
As most of you are aware,

The amygdala is located here,
deep in the limbic system.

Excuse me, Mr. McKenna.

The anatomy lesson's up here.

The amygdala being
the repository
of what, Mr. Mckenna?

The brain's
fear conditioning mechanism.

Indeed, among other things.

Now, you may have noticed

that the patient's amygdala is
grossly enlarged,

which may suggest
an organic component

to his hyper-fearful state.

The EEG even detected
a mild electrical discharge.

Now, for years,
we have observed
a rare medical condition.

For reasons
we have yet to understand

the amygdala can become encased
in a thin calcium shell.

Now, the individuals
to whom this occurs

seem to lose their ability
to feel fear,
in a conventional sense,

or even to recognize it
in others.

Utterly fearless.

The polar opposite of
the patient's
psychological state.

What we're going to do today
is give Bernard

the first of a series
of injections

off a concentrate
of antibodies

taken premortem
from one such patient.

Our animal studies have shown
that these antibodies

trigger the encapsulation
of the amygdala

and we hope,
in Bernard's case,

control his tendency
to be overwhelmed by fear.

[Dr. Pike]
We have found a way

to dramatically accelerate
that process

By irradiating the brain
with an attenuated phase EMP.

We anticipate a series
of three to five injections

and radiation treatments
over a period
of two to three weeks.

Prepare to irradiate.

EMP calibrations 200 Roentgens.

Begin radiation.

[Dr. Pike] Increase
to 400 roentgens.

End radiation.

[Dr. Pike] Bernard,
I just want to remind you

that even if
everything goes perfectly,

you probably won't notice
any significant change
for a while, all right?

Yo, Bernie.

How's my man?

What's the matter?
You don't say hi to a bud?

You're not my friend.

You hear that, guys?

Bernie here don't like us.

I think maybe he needs
a lesson in respect.

You don't want to mess with me.

You know, I think
we understand
each other, Bernard.

[laughing]

[Lisa] Hi, Bernard.

What's wrong?
Are you all right?

I'm just a little
winded, that's all.

Hey, listen, uh,
I'm making lasagna tonight

And there's probably
going to be some leftovers,

so, um, what do you think?

You should probably
freeze it.

I'm always throwing away
moldy food.

Um, thanks for the tip.

[knocking at door]

Hi.

Uh, I'm going for a walk
in the park

And I was wondering
if you wanted to come.

Yeah, I would.

Can I finish
this first?

Sure.

This park is the whole reason
I took the apartment.

I mean, the sinks drip,
the roof leaks.

I don't know about you,

but I can't get them to fix
a damn thing.

I don't even have
a smoke alarm.

If you ask me, the whole place
is a firetrap.

I had a fire,
but it wasn't real.

Have you been living
on your own long?

A long time.

Me too.

[dog barking]

I prefer it, actually.

Do you like animals?

They're okay.

I was going to be a vet.
Didn't know where to start
It didn't work out.

[Lisa] Did you know
that there are
over 200 kinds of pigeons?

I've got some,
I'm raising them.

In your place?

On the roof.
I'll show you sometime.

I'm afraid to go up there.
It's very high.

No, I'll take you. It's nice.

Nobody goes up there, but me.

-Don't look up.
-What?

What do you know,
Bernie got
himself a girl.

Just ignore him.

Hey, who's the babe,
Bernie?

Aren't you going
to introduce us?

Hey, leave him alone.

Come on, Bernard.

Now you tell the truth.

Does she put out, hmm?

Oh, I bet she's a real
screamer.

Shut up, Blanco.

What did you just say to me?

Punk!

Hey, you better
watch yourself, asswipe.

'Cause I got plans for you.

Big plans.

Big plans!

Big plans!

[thugs laughing]

[thunder]

-That hurt?
-No.

A little.

That guy's a creep.

I saw him
harassing others
in the neighborhood.

At least he didn't stab me
this time.

He stabbed you?

In my head.

In my mind.

Repent ye, sinners!

Or you shall burn!

Repent ye, sinners!

Or prepare to burn!

A lot of things go on
in your head, don't they?

Ever since I was a kid.

But they're trying to fix it.

I know what it's like to be
afraid of your own thoughts.

You do?

That's why I had to drop out
of vet school.

I spent six months
in Glen Ellen,
the psychiatric hospital.

How did they cure you?

They didn't cure me.
I cured me.

I just got sick and tired
of being sick and tired.

That's kind of funny.

You think so, huh?

[Lisa chuckles]

This bluish area here.

That's the calcium shell.

As you can see,
it has enclosed

almost half the mass
of the amygdala.

So it's working.

Pretty good so far, Bernard.

Have you noticed any changes?

I'm not sure.

I think so.

The panic attacks?

I haven't had
a bad one
since Tuesday,

After Mr. Wilkes
tried to burn me.

Mr. Wilkes?

Oh, the tall, gray-haired man.

Any feelings of anger?

Not really.

I still get the migraines...

And real claustrophobic.

I don't think I'm ever going
to be okay in an elevator.

But I met somebody
I really like.

Her name is Lisa.
We went for a walk.

And we're going to eat dinner
together sometime.

That's, that's
very encouraging, Bernard.

Well, who knows?
Maybe a couple more
and you'll be done.

[cooing]

Do they have names?

No, not really.

I don't personally believe
in naming animals.

I heard that pigeons
carry lots of germs.

Oh, that's an urban myth.

Right, guys?

You want to hold one?

No thanks.

Do you ever let them out?

Yeah, all the time.

And they come back?

Yeah, they're homing pigeons.

This is their home.

There we go.
Come on.

Going to go for a little fly.

Little fly.

See?

There you go, little guy.

Wow. So high!

Thought I'd be
a lot more scared
coming up here.

Yeah.

I love it up here.

It's like you can see
the whole world,

But they can't see you.

It's so safe.

Come here.

Come on, it's okay.

See? Was that so bad?

You're right. It's...

[Bernard] Wow.

You ever wish you could fly?

I can. In my head.

Bernard.

Bernard, what are you doing?

Don't worry.

It's okay.

Bernard, don't.

You're making me nervous.
Stop it, please.

Get off of there, right now,
I mean it,
you're scaring me.

Oh, my God.
Bernard, listen to me.

This isn't funny.
This isn't why I
brought you up here.

Give me your hand.
For god's sakes, Bernard,
you're really scaring me.

Please stop it. Stop it now.

It's incredible!

I'm not afraid!

It was incredible.

I stood up on that roof,

and I didn't feel afraid.

I'm a little worried

that you're maybe
pushing yourself too hard.

But I feel really good.

Everything's going okay,
isn't it?

Have you noticed
any unusual side effects?

Well, I still have
the headaches.

Any other physical sensations?
Tingling, muscle twitches?

Not really.

Well, maybe when
that bully grabbed me.

I could feel all this energy
rushing through me.

When you were frightened.

When I was angry.

So you have been feeling
increased anger.

Just that one time.

Bernard, there is no question
that you are making
excellent progress.

But we might want
to wait a while

before we move forward
with this next round
of treatments,

just to give your body
a chance to adjust
to some of the changes.

But you said...

...that part of my brain,

the fear part,
wasn't closed up yet.

That's true.

But there may be
some unnecessary risks
in closing it completely.

I want to finish
the treatments.

I have things
I want to do.

Things I have to do.

We'll have an evaluation period

and then we'll make
our best judgment.

But what if it starts
breaking apart?

What if the fears
come back?

What if Wilkes comes after me?

There's no reason
to believe that any
of that is gonna happen.

But you're not sure!

[female doctor]
You've got to trust us.

We want this to work
as much as you do, Bernard.

All right?

All right.

[indistinct chatter]

How much for this flower?

For you, half off.

Are they for anyone special?

For someone very special.

[Bernard] I had another
treatment today.

Well, whatever it is,
it seems to be working.

There's a million things
I want to do, Lisa.

How about buying me lunch,
for starters?

Got to be back in half an hour.

Two hot dogs, please.

[gasps]

What's wrong?

Bernard.

It's nothing.

I'm fine.

[woman screaming]
Help! Somebody help me!

Help! Alex!

What's wrong?
What's wrong?

Help me! My son!
He's fallen down here.

-[boy] Mommy, it hurts.
-He's hurt!

Okay. You're going to be okay.

[boy] It really hurts.

Do something, please!

Do something!

[crying]

Hold on! I'm gonna
come get you!

All right. It's okay.
I'm gonna come get you.

Get a rope
or something.

[crying]

Help me.
It really hurts.

[Mother]
hang on, honey.
This man's coming to help you.

You're going to be all right.

[boy] Ow!

Ow, Mommy, It hurts!

Hang on, honey. Hang on.

Hurry! Help me.

I'm going to get you
out of here, okay?

Okay, you're all right, okay?

Okay.

-Can you stand there?
-[Lisa] Bernard.

[boy] I'm scared.

I know.

I am too.

[mother]
it's okay, Alex.

You'll be all right.

Okay,
Lift your arms up.

We're going to get you
out of here. All right?

[Bernard] Okay.

[Lisa]
Okay, Bernard.
We got him.

[thug] There's the creep!

Hey, Bernie.

What you been doing,
playing in the mud?

Leave me alone.

Whoa. That's no way
to talk to the guy
who's been protecting you.

Protecting me?
From what?

From this.

Lay a hand on me again,
I'll make your life
a living hell.

You got that?

[gun cocks]

Tell him to put it away.

Put it away.

This guy's a joke.

Put it away.

What the hell's going on,
Blanco? You gonna let him
get away with this crap?

To hell with you.

I'm sorry, it sounds
awfully far-fetched.

Oh, come on, Miles.

There's nothing
in the literature

that begins to account
for what we're seeing.

I've run a battery
of brain scans,

every neurological test,
just like you asked.

There's no other way
to account for it.

Look, I agree there seems to be
an excess electrical energy

accumulating
in the limbic region.

But I'm a long way
from accepting

your interpretation
of their release.

Well, think about it.
We've known for years

that one animal
can palpably sense
fear in another.

This is just a reverse
of that mechanism.

Bernard's brain has
somehow managed to transmit,

to instill fear
in another human being.

I'm hearing conjecture,
not hard science.

I know it's anecdotal,
but it's first-hand.

I'm telling you, I felt it.

He reached into
the deepest corner
of my own fear.

Are you telling me
that specific imagery

is being passed on in
whatever you call it,
in this transmission?

All I know is
it happened to me.

The calcium shell
may actually be allowing
the charge to build up.

The energy emissions expelled
through this fissure.

They must have been absorbed
by Dr. Pike's amygdala.

What are you proposing
be done with your patient?

Every time that Bernard
explodes in anger,

This fissure can widen,
maybe irretrievably.

There's no telling
the magnitude of the damage

that he can do,
both to himself and to others.

We close the fissure,
we can stop the discharge.

There is more risk
to non-intervention

than in resuming treatment.

I can't explain it, but...

Something's changed.
Something big.

You're losing your fears.
That's what's
supposed to happen.

Yes, but I've also
gained something.

There's a reason
those bullies
ran away from me.

I-I did something to them,
something that I control.

You believe me, right?

Of course, I believe you.

I'm just worried,
that's all.

You think
i'm not really better?

That I could get sick again?

No, that's not it.

Well, what then?

The last time I was
this close to someone,

I got hurt,
I got really hurt.

I'm worried that I might be,
you know, falling
in love with you.

[knocking]

Just a second, Bernard.

[screaming]

Surprise!

Hey! What are you going to do?

Lisa?

Gonna report me
to your boyfriend?

Wait till he finds out
he's been dating a whore!

[screaming]

Leave her alone!

Yeah, I'll get to her later.

First I'm gonna
cut you in half.

What are you afraid of?

I warned you,
but you wouldn't listen.

[wheezing] No, please.

Get out of here.

Get out!

If you hadn't gotten here...

If I hadn't stopped,
I don't know.

I could have killed him.

Was that your first time?

Uh-huh.

[Lisa] What is it?
What are you seeing?

It's the fire I started.

The one that killed Mimi.

Never saw it
so clearly before.

How do you know
you started it?

You were so young.

He told me, over and over.

The guy with the gray hair.

Mr. Wilkes.

He ran the orphanage.

You know, when I was at
the psychiatric hospital,

I saw how they used
this hypnosis.

No, we already tried it.

Doesn't work.

Anyway, I don't want
to remember.

Well, maybe
that's the problem.

The treatment seems to be
increasing his recall.

He wants to be hypnotized.

This time, it might work.

You know the risk.

One powerful
emotional outburst,

and his amygdala casing
could be ruptured
beyond repair.

He'd be right back
where he started again.

He's still a prisoner
of his past.

We have to try and free him.

[Dr. Pike] I want you
to try again, Bernard.

Go back to that day.

The day your sister died.

Can you do that for me?

[Bernard] I saw her.

I saw the flames.

She wasn't moving.

The fire was everywhere.

[Dr. Pike] How did
the fire start?

I don't know.

-They told me I was very--
-Forget what they told you.

Just tell me what you see.

[Young Bernard] Mimi?

Mimi?

[Bernard]
I'm looking for Mimi.

Nobody can find her.

I think...

No.

[Dr. Pike]
Go ahead, Bernard.

I do.

I hear screaming.

[Dr. Pike] All right.

[Bernard]
I smell smoke.
I see the flames.

There's nothing I can do.

The fire.
When you went downstairs,
was it already going?

Yes... Yes, it was
already burning.

[Dr. Pike] Was it a fire that
you started, Bernard?

No.

I didn't do it.

It wasn't me.

It wasn't me.

[sobs]
It wasn't me!

He lied.

It wasn't me.
It wasn't me.

It wasn't me.

Dr. Pike seems to think
you made
a big breakthrough.

Huh?

Dr. Pike.

[man] Hey!

♪ You shouldn't be here ♪

It's him.

♪ You shouldn't be here ♪

That's him.

I don't think it's
who you think it is, Bernard.

I don't think it's
who you think it is, Bernard.

Bernard, it's not
who you think it is.

It's not
who you think it is. Bernard!

[man] I got a leak to fix here.

You folks might want to go
somewhere else.

It's the super.
He came to fix the roof.

Why is this happening?

I want it to stop.

We've got to find
that Wilkes guy.

He blamed you for
something you never did.

Until you tell him that,
you're never gonna be
free of him.

He'd be an old man by now.
Probably dead.

But if you knew that for sure,
I don't think he'd
haunt you anymore.

I don't think
I could stand to face him.

Would you rather see him
one more time in the flesh

or as a phantom
every day of your life?

[bell dinging]

[Lisa] Wow.

After all this time,
I can't believe
it's still here.

[Young Bernard] Mimi.

[indistinct chatter]

[Lisa] Come on, Bernard.

We've come this far.

Is that him?

No.

Excuse me, we're looking
for a Mr. Wilkes.

We were told
he still runs this place?

I'm Harold Wilkes.

You're Mr. Wilkes?

No, it's not him.

Look, if you don't have
business here...

This is
Bernard Seldon.

Is that supposed to mean
something to me?

He was
in this orphanage
20 years ago.

It's not him.

No, that's not Wilkes.

If you don't remember him,
maybe you remember the fire,

the one that killed
Mimi Seldon.

My God.

You blamed a six-year-old.

You said he killed his sister.

He said so himself.

He confessed
to Father Claridge.

He was there.

Ask him yourself,
if you don't believe me.

Him.

That's him.

It's okay, Bernard.

You're just going
to get yourself upset.

No, I am telling you
he's the one.

This is Bernard Seldon,
Father Claridge.

The boy who set the basement
on fire 20 years ago?

I don't know what
you're talking about.

Of course you do.
The boy who confessed to you.

[young Bernard] Mimi.

Mimi, Mimi.

[fabric tearing]

I saw him.

He was standing over Mimi.

She wasn't moving.

He was tearing rags.

He lit a fire.

Then he saw me.

Come here, boy.

She wouldn't stop
screaming.

She wouldn't stop
screaming.

I never meant to hurt her.

You tell them that
you started the fire

or I'll do the same to you.

I told you not to play
with matches!

Now see what you've done?

She wouldn't stop screaming.

Look what you've done!

You'll burn in hell for this!

No!

Bernard?

Put that down, Bernard.

God will forgive you.

Just put it down.

[screaming]

[screaming]

Bernard.

[whirring stops]

It's gone.

I can feel it.

The fear, the power,

all of it.

It's gone.

The last treatment
did it, Bernard.

The amygdala is now
completely enclosed.

It worked.

Our experiment worked.

You're going to be okay.

The nightmares are over?

At least for you they are.

[Control Voice]
in a world of terrors,

there is nothing more fearsome

than the unknown,

especially when
what is unknown is ourselves.
