Dr. Arcane?

Dr. Arcane, it's me, Graham.

Speak.

I staggered the speakers over a
three-mile radius per your instructions,

sir. And the other matter?

Oh, yeah.

I paid off the county commissioner, and
he'll revoke the license on the

Montessori school.

We'll get the building by the end of the
month.

Good.

Nosy, prying little brat.

If I hear duck-duck-goose-goose one more
time, I'll toast the little buggers

myself.

Is there anything else I can do to help?
Yes. Dance still. Shut up.

Bath. Get my reflected glory.

Am I going to need goggles, sir?

Is that a joke, Grant?

No.

Goggles for the experiment.

I'm amplifying ultrasound, not
electricity, you midwit. Sorry.

Where were you born?

Born, sir?

Give me the zip code, Grant. Zip code.

44131.

Cleveland? Why doesn't that surprise me?

A piece of you, a little piece of me,
and they fry his roots.

I know that sound can affect plants, but
how can it kill that walking asparagus?

That creature is just an annoyance,
Graham.

Alec Holland's mind I wish to destroy.

Three combinations.

I'm using the form of a huge tuning fork
to amplify a particular frequency of

sound.

Now, complete the failsafe code.

If I calculated correctly, these
frequencies did work in conjunction with

Alex Holland's brain waves and drive him
completely insane.

is my world.

It is who I am.

It is what I am.

I was once a man. I know the evil men
too.

Do not bring your evil here.

I warn you.

Beware the wrath of one thing.

Dr. Arcane, what happened?

We must capture Alec Holland, Grant.

Capture him?

Holland will be turning himself into
swamp grass by this time tomorrow.

No.

No, we must stop it.

We must cancel our agreement with the
commissioner.

Those poor children have nowhere else to
go.

Are you all right, Doctor?

When I woke up, everything was
different.

You're different.

I'm fine.

I must put a stop to that awful machine.

Save poor Alec Holland.

Well, Doctor, you certainly are the hero
of the junior life.

That's very kind of you.

Well, my Connie was just beside herself
about the computer lab we donated.

Well, how old is Connie?

Thirteen, and she wants to be a
scientist just like you.

Well, that makes me happier than I can
say.

You know, Doctor, I heard a lot of
things about you. A lot of bad things.

These last couple of days since you've
been coming in here, well, I guess you

can't believe everything you hear.

But you're a pretty nice guy.

Thank you.

You know, he donated all his computer
equipment to the junior high.

He's probably booby-trapped. I wouldn't
put it past him.

I smell a big, fat setup.

I thought I'd seen everything, but that
Dr. Doolittle routine really takes the

cake. They're going to be writing folk
songs about him soon.

Yeah, well, I don't believe a word of
it. Arcane's the kind of snake that

takes five steps back to get six
forward.

Meg, he's the birthday boy.

Little Bradley Shaw.

He's not much of a birthday cake.

I know that's all they can afford.

Damn shame.

Speak of the devil.

Hi, Will.

Tressie, you're looking lovely.

Turn it off, Arcane. You're wilting our
flowers.

Can we help you?

I wondered if you could spare some time
later tonight.

We're busy.

It's really very important.

Let's find out what it is.

Make it stop.

I can't stand the pain.

We destroyed the transponder in sector
four, and he's heading our way.

Good.

It's great to have the old doctor back.

Well, Tressa, what are you doing here?

I knew it.

That whole Mother Therese act was a
bunch of garbage.

I know you don't trust me, but this is
the only way I could get to save Alec.

Save it for an audience.

true, Will.

You know, I can smell a rat a mile away,
and you're stinking up the joint. Don't

talk to Dr.

Arcane like that. I'm through talking.
Will, look, you've got 15 seconds. Make

it good.

I need you to communicate with Alec. Be
my go-between. Help me communicate with

him. You really are mad if you think I'm
going to bring him to you on a silver

platter. If I prove my sincerity, will
you help me then?

I don't remember much, but I remember
enough to know that I've hurt this man

very badly.

hurricane.

Thank you.

How is it?

It's not so wide as a church door, nor
deep as a well, but twill suffice,

Shakespeare, I think.

It's funny, I used to be able to quote
the Bard verbatim.

I'm sorry, it's just a powder burn. I'll
be fine.

It's my fault, you know.

All my fault.

I've broken that man.

Well, still, I guess I should thank you
for saving his life.

Okay, I'm listening. What happened?

I tried to destroy Alec Holland.

Again? Yes.

Apparently, I created a sound wave
machine that would work in conjunction

with Alec Holland's brain waves, driving
him insane, if I was correct. Which

apparently you were. But I've heard
enough. No, there's more.

I succeeded in driving him mad.

But I also succeeded in driving the
madness from me.

It seems Alec Holland and I have
something in common.

We both had similar brainwave patterns.

Turn off the machine.

I wish it was that simple.

You see, the machine started the Earth's
crust vibrating at the same rate, and I

believed to stop it, I'd have to create
a counterfrequency.

Then what's stopping you? My genius.

I devised a fail-safe mechanism to stop
people tampering with the machine.

I could defeat the mechanism if I could
remember the path code, but that

abstract knowledge, that particular part
of my genius, was lost during the

accident. So the new you is a great guy,
but the new you can't say valid. No, I

can. I have the counterfrequency worked
out. I just can't remember my fail-safe

code.

Please try and understand, Trevor.

My life, my entire history, started last
Tuesday at 12.45.

Even our friendship's very new.

Oh, I didn't say friends.

But I will say I'm open to the
possibility.

Well, that's all I can ask.

I've ruined a man.

I believe I once admired, and I don't
even remember why.

I might have lost help.

Well, what about you? If you reverse
what happened to Alec, is that going to

change you back?

Possibly.

But after all I've done to Alec Holland,
he deserves a chance, doesn't he?

I should be with him.

He'll be here.

Tressa just picked him up.

Now look, we've got bigger problems.

What the hell is this thing? His last
experiment, something went wrong. It

cross-fired.

I'm afraid I lost him.

You're breaking my heart.

What is this stuff for?

It's... It's been destroying Alec
Holland's mind.

Shut the damn thing off! Unplug it now!

There is no plug. Its power source is
nuclear, self-contained.

It's got to be stepped down in reverse
order.

I need the fail-safe code.

A piece of you, a piece of me. I'm
trying every possible combination, all

the Cleveland zip code, but he's the
only one who knows.

How can I help?

You'd help me?

Let's get something straight.

We're neither friends...

nor allies.

Just so happens we have a mutual need.

There, I took the better on the noise
level. It's the best I can do.

Try your social security number, year
you were born, car registration,

anything! Don't shout, Will. I can't
concentrate when you do that.

You like him this way, don't you?

He wouldn't understand.

Oh, I understand. I understand
perfectly.

That's not Dr. Arcane. That's some
laboratory accident.

He doesn't deserve to spend the rest of
his life being ordinary.

This will never work.

I made a computer program of every
conceivable combination of Cleveland zip

codes. Nothing's working.

Well, think.

Was there any reason you picked
Cleveland zip codes?

I don't know, really. It was just a
random thought.

Could have been anywhere. I just simply
asked Graham.

Cleveland.

It was Cleveland. Look.

Failsafe codes. Eval, venal, deval.
Great. Punch him in.

Just a minute, Will. Give me time to
think.

There may be a way around this.

Fine. I'll do it myself. You can't.

Why? Because if I hit the correct
counter frequency, I can hear it in my

mind, but it may kill you.

Since when have you ever cared about me
anyway?

Since a few days ago.

I hated you.

I hated who you were.

And who you are now, I don't know how to
take it. I understand, Will.

Hopefully, if I succeed, you will get
the job.

Perhaps I can save the best of both
worlds.

Alec and mine.

There's one thing Alec taught me. It's
that something out of balance cannot

survive.

Maybe who you are now is not meant to
work.

Or maybe what I was before was not meant
to be and couldn't be.

It's an interesting thought.

Graham? Give me a third suppressor and
50 feet of coaxial cable.

What? Make an electromagnet.

You've been at this for over 24 hours,
Doctor. Maybe you should rest.

There's no time.

See, what I'm hoping for, Graham, is
that by introducing a magnetic field

within the coil, I can preserve the
person I've become.

Don't you understand, Graham?

Your Dr. Arcane's gone.

And if this electromagnet can protect
me, he'll be gone forever.

Goodbye, old Arcane.

Let me tell you something.

You may be a reformed man now, but my
friend is dying out there because of

what you did to him.

If this fails, I'll kill you.

Stop it, Will. Give him a chance.

If this works, we'll all be better off.

If you survive... Right, if. Listen,
Dor.

What if something goes wrong? Something
has gone wrong, Graham.

And I have to put it right.

This room is the closest to the power
generator.

We need to hook those coils up to the
frequency modulator at the same instant.

Timing's critical.

I can't do it alone.

Talk with you for a moment outside.

My old adversary.

Amazing how tranquil.

How peaceful all this seems to me now.

What have I lost in my lifetime?

What have I done because of my madness?

A man like me doesn't have many... any
friends.

You have one now.

The next few moments in there could be
very telling.

And I'm afraid... I'm afraid that I
might say goodbye before... Don't.

You realize if it does go badly, I'll be
just the same as I was before. But if it

works, you'll have a whole new life.

There's a chance I won't remember any of
this, and if I can't...

I just want to say I'm sorry.

I'm so very sorry for everything I've
done.

What's this?

Just remember me.

Remember me like this.

We all set, Graham?

I can take the pain.

I must end it.

Are you all right?

Anton, can you hear me?

Dr. Arkane... Stay away from him. Don't
touch him.

The coils. He said they had to have
power at the same time.

I was trying to save Dr.

Arkane. What's going on? Are you all
right?

What happened?

I'll tell you what happened.

Graham sabotaged the whole thing.

How did Alec Holland's lackey get past
my men?

What may I ask of you doing here?

Nothing.

What are you grinning at?

This place is a bloody pigsty. Get it
cleaned up, Graham.

Yes, sir. Right away, Dr. Harkin.

Like a kite cut from a string.

likely the soul of my youth has taken
flight.

Just remember me like this, would you?

I didn't get a chance to thank you.

It's not necessary.

What's that?

Just a little nothing scribbled on a
napkin.

Trust the trust of your heart does not
make you a fool.

It only makes you wiser.
