[Applause]

Thank you.

Thank you.

Oh, what a wonderful audience!

Such enthusiasm!

[Applause]

And now here is your guide to independent thinning,

Dr. Anthony Ferrel Blake, director of the psychological

research institute.

In this complex world we live in, we need all the help we

can get to make those right decisions.

That's why you, independent thinkers, have made this

the number one show in the greater metropolitan area.

[Applause]

Becky?

Yeah?

Dr. Blake's on.

Don't you want to come down and watch him?

No.

I see him enough.

Tonight I would like to address the subject

of teenage alienation.

Today's young people lack confidence.

Drug abuse, alcoholism, teenage suicide have all

taken a horrendous toll.

But there is an answer.

Modern science can put a stop to this epidemic,

just as it has solved many problems of the past.

And we here at the Psychological Research Institute

of Independent Thinking have the answer.

Independent thinking.

Independent thinking.

[Screaming]

[Screaming]

No!

Let me go!

No!

No!

Becky?

Are you okay?

I don't know.

What is going on?

I don't know.

[Screaming]

Just a few short months ago, we were just another local TV

show here in Meadowvale.

But thanks to your support, I am pleased to announce we will be

going nationwide very soon.

Give yourselves a hand, you independent thinkers.

[Applause]

[Applause]

[car noise]

Today's top story, three more unexplained violent deaths

in the Meadowvale area over the weekend.

Police have found no connection between the rash of murders and

suicides which have swept our community over the

last two weeks.

Stay tuned for the latest details on the hour

with complete local and international news.

Now back to a bit of that hard, hard rocky parade teeny

boppers love so much.

Hi, Jim.

Hey.

Billy?

It's Majewski.

Hey, what's up?

So, what time did you get home last night?

12:30.

My old man almost killed me.

Where is Janet?

She was looking for you.

Hey.

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

Did you do the homework?

Thanks.

How are you going to copy it now?

I'll do it during class.

Jim, if you get caught, I'll get in trouble, too.

I thought you said you loved me.

I love you when you're staying out of trouble.

Okay.

Come on.

Oh, wait.

What?

I'll see you.

Where are you going?

I got to go to the bathroom.

Hurry up.

Save my seat.

Tell me.

Tell me.

[toilet flushes]

Hi, Mr. Sweeney.

[Scream]

[water gushes]

This is one of your stunts, isn't it?

What?

You just came out of the washroom.

I think somehow you managed to tamper with the plumbing.

That's why I'm soaking wet.

That's a pretty serious accusation, sir.

You know, we're learning in civics class right now

how you're innocent until proven guilty.

So you you think you're an American, do you?

Last time I checked.

Well, you're not!

You're in high school.

You left this behind.

Now I really got you, you little punk.

Let's go.

Mr. and Mrs. Majelewski, it's true James has one of the

highest IQs in our high school, however, his intellect and

energy is primarily channeled in causing trouble.

Doesn't seem to be affecting my grades, does it?

No, but it's affecting the students in our classrooms,

our teachers, and myself.

It's too bad.

Yeah, it is too bad.

And unless we can find some other alternative, I may have

no choice but to suspend James.

If I do that, you won't graduate.

You can't do that.

It's blackmail.

It is not blackmail.

Not in any way, shape or form.

What we have to do is get to the root of the problem.

I think it is your attitude that is causing your

antisocial behavior.

You can't prevent me from graduating.

James, you're preventing yourself.

Now, I am prepared to offer some help.

Mr. and Mrs. Majelewski, we have tapes I think you

will find very interesting.

**

Now an important message from the world

famous psychologist, Dr. Anthony Ferrel Bank.

Does your teen-ager have a discipline problem?

Is he or she in trouble at school?

Involved with drugs, alcohol, sex?

At the Psychological Research Institute, we have the answer.

Call us.

Well, I don't have a problem with drugs, alcohol or sex.

So I guess we're done for today, huh?

Sit down, James.

You have a problem with your attitude

and your disruptive behavior.

Dr. Blake has seen some problem students and we've

seen terrific results.

I don't need to go to this guy, Blake!

Everyone knows he's a flake!

You can't make me!

James, you don't seem to grasp the seriousness of

what we're discussing here or how earnest I am to

change your behavior!

Jim, Dr. Blake wouldn't be on TV if he wasn't good.

Mom, everything you see on TV is the truth?

Come on.

I'm sorry.

I have reached the end of my rope.

Jim, it doesn't look like we have any real choice.

Dad, what are you doing?

You're going to sell me out?

What are you going to do if you don't graduate?

Fine.

Make the appointment.

Thank you both for coming.

Thank you both for coming.

[kissing noises]

Jim, Jim, I said no.

Janet, we've been going out for eight months.

I know.

We decided I'm not going to do it until I get to college.

What if we go to different colleges?

If you want to do it, you're going to have to

go to the college I go to.

Come on, I've had a really hard day, okay?

Sorry.

I'm worried about you.

What are you going to do about Mr. woods?

I'm going to go see that TV guy, Dr. Blake.

You mean PRI?

Yeah, why?

Well, do you think that's a good idea?

One place is as good as another.

Except for some places that are better than most.

Stop it.

I'm serious.

I was talking to Sally and she said Becky was under

treatment from Dr. Blake.

So what?

So there is a lot of really weird stuff going on lately.

**

All right.

I agree with you.

But why don't we just talk about that tomorrow.

Okay?

Just have a nice night together alone.

Please?

[Scream]

Oh, God.

Scared your ass, didn't I?

Willie.

What are you...

Is that all you guys know how to do, play jokes?

That's not all Willie knows how to do.

[Laughter]

[Dog barking]

Evening, Officer Marks.

All right, Majelewski, let's move it.

It's past curfew.

Thanks for reminding us.

Come on, move it.

All right!

Relax, we're going!

Geez.

See you later.

I don't know.

Maybe I am crazy.

You know you're not crazy.

Yeah, Marks needs a shrink.

But they give him a badge and let him tell us what to do.

Could you explain that for me?

Well?

No.

**

**

**

**

Yes?

I'm here to see Dr. Blake.

Give me those.

I didn't realize there were so many crazy

people in Meadowvale.

Crazy people are that way.

Follow the white line and fill these out.

Have a nice day, buddy.

**

Hey.

You here?

They're taking over.

The aliens.

Dr. Blake's an alien.

I tell everybody, but nobody believes me.

You believe me, don't you?

Sure, I believe you.

They're not going to find me 'cause I hide in my mind.

Good thinking.

Hey.

Hey.

How did you get out again, huh?

Hey, relax, buddy.

He didn't do anything.

This is none of your business.

Come on, let's go back now.

Come on.

**

**

**

James Majelewski?

Yeah.

You can call me Jim.

Do you have any forms for me?

Right here.

Parents signed the consent form.

That's good.

We have to do a preliminary checkup.

Can you lift up your shirt, please.

Now?

Yes, now.

Take a breath.

Heartbeat's excellent.

That's good to know.

What are those?

**

Dr. Blake will explain everything.

He'll be with you in just one minute.

Let's get started.

**

Dr. Blake.

Hi.

I've seen you on TV.

Ah.

I want you to clear your mind, Jim.

And I want you to answer my questions to the best

of your ability, huh?

Okay.

Keep your eye on the monitor.

**

What is Vivian holding in her hand, Jim?

An apple.

It is a baseball.

I see an apple.

Look again.

Wait a minute.

Nope.

It's still an apple.

**

Look directly at the monitor.

Now this is my kind of therapy.

What do you see now?

Well, there is two of them.

Two apples?

No, they're not apples.

But they're round.

**

**

**

What's happening?

What is it, Jim?

What do you see?

**

**

**

[creature growling]

You can go now.

What the hell happened to me?

I'm not some kind of guinea pig, you know.

You're supposed to be helping me...

It's all right.

You just suffered from an hallucination.

That's all.

Get your hands off me, buddy.

You're crazier than that guy out in the hallway.

**

Look.

Its tail is growing.

Its spinal cord.

It's a brain, not an animal.

Right.

Pick up Majelewski.

I think it's hungry.

Don't tease it.

That thing is trying to control us.

I can feel it.

That is your imagination.

There has been eight deaths since you began TV transmissions

of the brain symbiotic wave.

Is that my imagination, too?

There is no connection that can be proven scientifically.

Resistance to the brain symbiotic wave causes

hallucinations and you know it!

Your mediocre mind cannot begin to comprehend the

importance of my work!

I suggest you look into your own neurotic behavior, then perhaps

you will understand your continuing negativity!

You have to stop this insane research.

That thing isn't satisfied just controlling the minds of the

people who watch your TV show!

It's apparent you and I will no longer be able

to work together.

Fine with me.

But wait 'til I tell people what's really

going on around here.

Now take that thing and bury it where it belongs!

[Scream]

[Scream]

[grunting noises]

It's food for thought.

Ah!

Debbie, where is Janet?

Man, what happened to you?

Janet!

I got into a car accident.

Jesus.

What happened?

I'm all right.

You're bleeding!

I'm all right.

I'm just going... can we just go in the back and talk?

Come on.

Willie, get me a wash cloth.

What happened?

I totaled my car.

How?

I don't know.

I went to that PRI place and they did all this weird shit

to me and made me hallucinate or something.

What are you talking about?

I don't know!

They did all this stuff.

Apples and baseballs.

Then Blake's assistant's blouse just floated off and she

walked right out of the TV.

You better not be joking around!

I'm not joking, Janet.

I'm serious.

I don't even know what happened.

I was just driving along and this thing reached out

and grabbed me.

I'm taking to you the hospital.

No, I don't want to go to the hospital.

Jim!

I don't want any more doctors.

You're bleeding.

You guys, the whole cheerleading squad

just showed up.

Can I get some help?

Willie.

Janet?

In a minute.

Come on!

In a minute!

Shut up, Debbie.

I'll be back here in ten minutes.

Just sit down.

Don't move.

Okay.

**

Weird story, huh?

Thank you.

Can I help someone?

Yeah, cheeseburger and fries.

**

**

**

Can I have cheese on that, please?

Can I have cheese on that, please?

Janet, is Majelewski here?

Why?

I wasn't talking to you.

Why?

Is something wrong?

His car was in an accident down the road.

I thought he might have come in here.

You're his girlfriend.

You're his girlfriend.

What's going on back there?

New stock clerk.

He knocks things over all the time.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hey, real clumsy.

**

Jim, calm down!

Jim!

Stop it!

Calm down!

Jim!

**

Jim!

Stop it!

Jim!

Don't let him take me!

Stop it!

What are you doing?

What are you giving him?

Stop it!

Who are you?

I'm nurse Varnim from PRI.

He just needs a little more treatment.

Where are you going?

Don't let them take me.

No!

What are you doing?

No!

Bring him back.

Where are you taking him?

Wait!

You can't just take him away.

Yes, we can.

We have a release form signed by his parents.

Let me go with him.

No, you don't.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Jim!

Let go!

Damn it!

Willie!

[Car starts]

[Car starts]

[Hammering sound]

[Hammering sound]

[clicking noises]

[clicking noises]

[clicking noises]

Let me sneak in.

You can sneak out.

They'll think I'm you.

They'll never find me in here.

Okay.

Thanks.

**

So you're sure you want to do this?

Yes.

Yes.

**

Come on.

Hurry up.

**

Come on!

I'm trying.

It's increased size, the brain waves we're sending

out could be even stronger.

You'll be reaching a wider audience.

Soon it will be thinking for all those morons out there.

Stronger it gets, the more minds it needs to control.

Must expand or it will die.

Get him!

Stop him!

**

**

[gunshot]

**

Got it.

Hurry up.

Stay close to me.

Stay close to me.

**

**

**

Janet, we're never going to find him up here.

We have to, Willie.

What do you mean we have to?

I don't know.

**

We can't just leave him here.

I know, I know.

Janet!

Jim!

SHHH.

There is two guys after me.

We got to get the hell out of here!

Come on.

But what... what's happening?

Watch out!

Come on.

Hurry up.

Oh, no!

[Screaming]

**

[creature grunting]

[screaming]

[screaming]

Over there!

The truck!

Where's the hell the key?

Willie had them.

Look underneath the dash.

I think he's got a hide a key.

Shit!

Oh, my God!

Here, here!

Go!

Let's go!

Go!

Drive!

[Shots fired]

What the hell is going on here?

It's that monster thing that's killing everyone.

I heard Dr. Blake talking about it.

**

[Siren]

You have to pull over.

It's the police!

We can't trust them.

We need help!

We can't trust them!

Hold it right there!

You got to get back to PRI!

What are you doing?

We got to get back to PRI!

Listen to us.

We saw Willie killed at PRI!

Please, we need your help!

Officer Marks, will you listen?

You killed Willie.

I've got an APB out on you.

Are you crazy?

There's a monster at PRI that's killing people!

You're as crazy as he is.

Officer Marks, you're making a big mistake.

We got to get back to PRI!

Blake's assistant just shot at us!

Shut up and get in the car.

Would you listen, please!

Get in the car!

Hey, Asshole, we got to get to PRI!

Get in the car.

In here!

Come on!

Get in the car!

Jim, look.

I got both of them.

It's Blake's assistant.

They're in the back of the police car.

I'm taking them down to the station.

You can follow me.

**

He's coming after us.

Jim!

Oh, God!

No!

Get out!

Go!

Go!

Go!

Hey!

Hey!

**

Majelewski killed him!

Chopped his head off!

Chopped his head off!

We got to find somewhere to hide.

How about the school?

It's Saturday.

Good thinking.

Come on.

[background noise]

**

**

**

**

It's very sad when a difficult case goes wrong.

James Majelewski has trouble dealing with reality.

Please, James, if you hear my voice, please turn yourself in

before you kill again.

And ladies and gentlemen, if you see this poor unfortunate,

call the police.

Stay down, stay down.

Wait a second.

I knew it.

Independent thinking is on.

Come on!

He's going to brainwash everyone.

There is going to be no one be left to believe our story.

Cops.

Stay down.

Stay down.

**

How many times have you asked your husband to watch this show

and he has refused?

Don't let him ignore you by ignoring me.

Be assertive.

Tell him if he wants you, he must watch me.

If he wants you, he must watch me.

**

[machinery noise]

Stay down, stay down.

Excuse me, sir.

A young boy and a young girl.

They're wanted in connection with three murders.

Get down!

Thank you very much, sir.

Honey, wouldn't you like to watch Dr. Blake with me?

No.

You go ahead.

I'm not interested.

It's that asshole Woods.

Come on.

No.

Please.

[growling]

Hey, what are you doing?

Put that thing down.

That's not funny.

Put it down!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

[Screaming]

[Laughter]

[Laughter]

He killed him!

Majelewski cut him in half!

[growling]

Get down!

[Sirens]

Help me.

Give me your hand.

School's not far.

We'll be okay now.

**

We're not going to be able to get in.

Do not worry about it, please.

What's that?

Last year's metal shop project.

Hurry up.

Let's get these off.

Okay?

I'll find something in the metal shop we can use.

There's got to be something in there.

Jim, I need to call my dad.

He must be worried.

I don't think that's such a good idea.

Why?

He could help us.

People would listen to him.

He's one of them!

What do you mean, one of them?

Didn't you tell me he watches independent thinking every week?

That he really likes Dr. Blake.

Well?

You can't just say that.

I mean, you don't know that!

If you call him, he's going to have the police

down here after you.

And then they're going to find me.

Look, just wait here.

Okay?

I'll be right back.

Where you going?

Metal shop.

**

**

**

[phone ringing]

Hello?

Hi, dad?

Janet!

Where are you?

Daddy, I need your help.

Where are you?

You got yourself mixed up with a very dangerous kid.

He's a psychopathic killer.

You don't understand.

Listen to me.

Janet, please.

Tell me where you are.

I can't.

Janet, I'm not asking you.

I'm telling you.

Majelewski is a psycho!

He's liable to kill you!

He's liable to kill you!

**

**

**

These will work.

You all right?

Yeah.

It's okay.

I didn't tell him where we are.

I understand.

You had to call.

I wonder how many other people this has happened to.

There have to be some sane people left, right?

Yeah.

I guess.

Let's sit down.

We got to get back to PRI, and stop Blake somehow.

How?

I don't know.

But I don't think his hypnosis thing is permanent.

If we kill the brain, everything should go back to normal.

**

What was that for?

I don't want to wait any more.

You sure?

Yeah.

**

**

**

[growling]

**

**

[growling]

**

**

**

Don't take any chances.

Shoot to kill.

James Majelewski has trouble dealing with reality,

but we here at the Psychological Research

Institute can still help him.

Please, James, if you hear my voice, please, turn yourself

in before you kill again.

You can't even watch that for a minute or

it will hypnotize you.

Murderer.

You're a murderer.

Very funny.

Don't even joke about it.

It's the truth, isn't it?

What he said on TV.

Janet, stop it.

Stay away from me.

[Alarm sounding]

What are you doing!

Stay away from me!

This is me, you know the truth!

Stay way way from me!

Will you come to your senses?

Get away from me!

Murderer!

You're a murderer!

You know the truth.

No.

I just saw the truth.

Janet, you're not supposed to watch that!

Stay away from me!

Janet!

Murderer!

Get away from me!

A few minutes 10, 20 million people are going to see our show

Vivian?

This is your hallucination, Jim.

You have a dirty mind.

Yeah?

Don't continue to resist.

The brain will destroy you.

Join the wave of the future.

It's not one of Blake's tricks?

No, Jim.

You're the kind of person Dr. Blake really needs.

No.

Jim, what if I told you that Dr. Blake wasn't human?

But he knows what's good for us.

He's here to help you.

Like he helped Willie?

You can't possibly win.

You can't even control your own mind.

Watch me.

[Applause]

Now, all over America, nationwide.

This independent thinking with Dr. Anthony Ferrell Blake,

director of the psychological research institute.

[Applause]

Thank you.

Thank you.

What a wonderful audience.

So enthusiastic.

We all deserve to celebrate tonight, for tonight is our

first broadcast nationwide, and we are already in negotiations

to go world wide via satellite.

[Applause]

**

You deserve the applause.

You good people of Meadowvale who have supported our

program so loyally, you are all independent thinkers.

Huh?

Every one of you.

**

But before we continue with tonight's festivities,

there is something I must talk about for just a few moments.

The sad tragedy of James Majelewski, something that has

struck the hearts of all of us here in Meadowvale, he has

killed several people and he is here in this building.

My belief is that he came here for help and we,

at the psychological research institute, can help him.

Jim!

You have come for help.

[growling]

**

**

**

Look at this thing!

It wasn't even human!

Dr. Blake was trying to take over by controlling your minds

through television!

He's the one who was responsible for all those murders!

I never killed anyone!

I'm just a high school student!

He tried to use me just like he tried to use all of you.

Everyone, please, look at the TV monitor because

you know that's the truth!

Please, look at the TV monitor.

He tried to use me just like he tried to use all of you!

The truth is that it was him, not me!

**

Dr. Blake committed all those murders.

Not Jim Majelewski.

**

[Scream]

I love you.

Yeah, it is too bad.

[Horn honks]

There is Janet.

Oh, can you take these boxes out?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

I'll be home late.

Don't wait up.

Okay, bye.
