1
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,500
In the 1940's a drug called EPHEMEROL
was given to women to ease their pregnancies.
1
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:15,000
It was abandoned when these women gave birth
to children afflicted with a wide range of
1
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:20,500
side effects including migraines,
uncontrollable rages and auditory hallucinations.
1
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:25,000
Those afflicted with the so-called
"scanner Syndrome"
1
00:00:25,500 --> 00:00:30,500
also showed evidence of extraordinary
telepathic and telekinetic powers.
1
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
While most were institutionalized
or died of related causes,
1
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:40,500
a few managed to adapt to their condition.
1
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,500
The children of these surviving "Scanners"
also carry the Scanners gene.
1
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Attempts to develop a cure with drugs
such as EPH-1 and EPH-2 have failed.
2
00:00:53,000 --> 00:01:00,000
[V.6.]
5
00:01:41,184 --> 00:01:44,358
You know what they say?
They say the minute they look at you - bingo!
7
00:01:46,815 --> 00:01:48,112
They can read your mind.
8
00:01:48,108 --> 00:01:50,452
- I can't believe you guys fell for that.
- I'm telling you!
9
00:01:50,444 --> 00:01:53,163
- That's exactly what happened.
- So this is where you've been hiding.
10
00:01:53,155 --> 00:01:55,783
- Everybody else is upstairs.
- Great party!
11
00:01:55,782 --> 00:02:00,083
Anyway, so as I was telling you, I met
this psychic. He was unbelievable.
13
00:02:09,671 --> 00:02:13,301
Well, if it isn't my favourite sister
and brother act.
14
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,598
I'm glad you could make it.
15
00:02:15,594 --> 00:02:19,349
So am I, Joyce, but you know me -
regular party animal.
16
00:02:21,683 --> 00:02:23,811
So is Dad here yet?
17
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:27,189
When I left the office he said
he'd be here in 20 minutes.
18
00:02:27,189 --> 00:02:29,362
That was two hours ago.
19
00:02:29,358 --> 00:02:32,077
Knowing Daddy, he'll spend
an entire holiday in the lab.
20
00:02:32,069 --> 00:02:33,161
Yes.
21
00:02:34,237 --> 00:02:36,660
Well, I guess I'm off to mingle.
22
00:02:40,619 --> 00:02:43,042
Come here. I got something for you.
24
00:02:48,835 --> 00:02:51,429
Wait, wait...
25
00:02:51,421 --> 00:02:53,844
Merry Christmas.
26
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,935
Alex!
29
00:03:08,897 --> 00:03:10,820
It's beautiful.
30
00:03:12,275 --> 00:03:13,777
- Just put it on.
- Help me.
31
00:03:18,615 --> 00:03:20,913
I bet you believe in Santa Claus too.
32
00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:22,536
- Give me a break!
- You rang?
33
00:03:22,536 --> 00:03:25,540
But it's true, really. I know this guy,
this cousin of mine,
34
00:03:25,539 --> 00:03:29,214
and he knows this guy that was scanned by
one of them at a convention in Des Moines City.
35
00:03:29,209 --> 00:03:32,554
Scanned? You guys are talking scanners?
36
00:03:32,546 --> 00:03:35,925
- We're talking science fiction.
- Oh yeah?
37
00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:37,392
Hey, Alex!
39
00:03:39,803 --> 00:03:43,649
- What's up, buddy old boy?
- These guys don't believe in scanning.
40
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,062
- Sorry.
- Oh yeah?
41
00:03:45,058 --> 00:03:46,731
They're right.
42
00:03:46,727 --> 00:03:50,857
Now listen, don't mind Santa Claus. He
goes a little crazy at this time of year.
43
00:03:50,856 --> 00:03:53,575
Come on, Alex.
Makes believers out of these guys.
44
00:03:53,567 --> 00:03:56,320
Come on, give me a break.
It's Christmas Eve.
48
00:04:05,704 --> 00:04:09,504
That's it. Come on, now. Give me one
of those. Give me one of those.
49
00:04:09,499 --> 00:04:11,046
You know, come on now.
50
00:04:11,042 --> 00:04:12,715
Let's show these guys.
51
00:04:12,711 --> 00:04:14,679
Not going to leave me alone,
are you, Taylor?
52
00:04:14,671 --> 00:04:16,298
Come on, let's do it. Do it, do it.
53
00:04:16,298 --> 00:04:17,971
- OK, you ready?
- Come on.
54
00:04:17,966 --> 00:04:19,843
I'm ready.
55
00:04:22,804 --> 00:04:25,023
All right, hold on to your beard.
57
00:04:34,691 --> 00:04:36,489
Whoa!
58
00:04:39,070 --> 00:04:41,243
Come on, Alex.
You can do better than that.
59
00:04:41,239 --> 00:04:43,20
Whoa!
61
00:05:05,263 --> 00:05:07,561
See that? This guy's incredible.
62
00:05:07,557 --> 00:05:09,480
What's going on?
63
00:05:09,476 --> 00:05:11,524
Come on!
64
00:05:12,938 --> 00:05:15,441
Just what I told you.
These guys are fantastic.
65
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,113
Alex! No!
67
00:05:22,197 --> 00:05:24,700
No!
68
00:05:24,699 --> 00:05:25,916
Look, Mum, it's...
69
00:05:28,203 --> 00:05:29,500
Taylor!
70
00:06:10,537 --> 00:06:15,213
Even if I was declared not guilty
for what they called an accident,
71
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:17,802
I had no choice but to leave.
72
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,469
I couldn't face my friends or Joyce.
73
00:06:22,507 --> 00:06:26,637
And I couldn't face the man that adopted
me and my friend Helena,
74
00:06:26,636 --> 00:06:30,140
taking us out of that horrible
scanners institution.
75
00:06:31,182 --> 00:06:35,062
I had to find a way to master my powers.
76
00:06:36,104 --> 00:06:39,904
I went around the world
and finally found a place.
77
00:06:40,942 --> 00:06:43,161
A monastery in Thailand.
78
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,795
I can't believe you talked a Polish girl
into red lingerie.
79
00:06:52,787 --> 00:06:56,212
- I thought it was just for hookers.
- Come on, Helena!
80
00:06:56,207 --> 00:07:00,838
It's the 90s. We are women, we are strong
and we can do whatever the hell we want.
81
00:07:00,837 --> 00:07:03,010
And where exactly am I supposed to wear it?
82
00:07:03,006 --> 00:07:04,303
Under your clothes.
83
00:07:05,884 --> 00:07:08,808
To work. Anywhere you feel like it.
84
00:07:08,803 --> 00:07:12,808
I mean just imagine you and your new boss,
what's his name, the takeover king.
85
00:07:12,807 --> 00:07:15,811
Mark Dragon. But then maybe
you two could hit if off.
86
00:07:15,810 --> 00:07:18,279
Takeover king meets makeover queen.
87
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,524
Sounds like a match made in heaven.
88
00:07:20,523 --> 00:07:23,367
Unfortunately I'm not interested.
89
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,990
I know it sounds crazy,
it's been almost two years,
90
00:07:26,988 --> 00:07:30,333
but even after all this time
I'm still hung up on Alex.
93
00:07:36,706 --> 00:07:38,708
Helena, are you all right?
94
00:07:38,708 --> 00:07:41,632
No. Not again. These damn migraines.
95
00:07:42,712 --> 00:07:47,218
See, any time I get in a crowd or
any pressure situation I get paralyzed.
96
00:07:47,217 --> 00:07:50,596
No wonder I can't hold a job.
How am I ever supposed to?
97
00:07:50,595 --> 00:07:53,690
Let's get you home. This way.
I know a shortcut back to the car.
98
00:07:53,682 --> 00:07:57,437
This is what always happens
when I forget my pills.
99
00:07:57,435 --> 00:08:01,030
Aren't you supposed to take them every day?
100
00:08:01,022 --> 00:08:03,741
Yes, but they make me stupid
like a sleepwalker.
101
00:08:03,733 --> 00:08:05,827
Almost anything is better than that.
102
00:08:09,239 --> 00:08:10,957
Let's get out of here.
103
00:08:10,949 --> 00:08:14,453
Well, well, well, what have we got here?
104
00:08:14,452 --> 00:08:17,126
Rocking babes walking down my street.
105
00:08:17,122 --> 00:08:19,295
Whatever it is you're doing,
it's none of our business.
106
00:08:19,290 --> 00:08:21,463
We didn't see anything so just let us go.
107
00:08:21,459 --> 00:08:24,804
Didn't anyone ever tell you it was
dangerous in this part of town?
108
00:08:24,796 --> 00:08:28,050
You don't want to do this. You're just
getting yourself into trouble.
109
00:08:28,049 --> 00:08:30,393
Thanks for the warning but you see...
110
00:08:30,385 --> 00:08:32,433
We're not the ones in trouble - you are.
111
00:08:35,432 --> 00:08:39,482
Run! Run, Helena.
112
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:52,874
OK. Suck on this.
113
00:09:17,474 --> 00:09:19,772
I think that we'd better get out of here.
114
00:09:35,867 --> 00:09:40,088
I haven't really scanned anyone
since I was 12 years old.
115
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,378
It was pretty amazing.
116
00:09:43,374 --> 00:09:45,877
I just didn't know I had it in me.
117
00:09:45,877 --> 00:09:48,847
I knew Alex could do that kind of thing
but you...
118
00:09:48,838 --> 00:09:50,840
Just don't tell Father, please.
119
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,559
Don't worry. Your secret's safe with me.
120
00:10:01,643 --> 00:10:02,986
Thanks.
122
00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:40,307
Helena.
123
00:10:42,433 --> 00:10:43,776
Helena?
124
00:10:47,438 --> 00:10:49,315
Darling, you all right?
125
00:10:49,315 --> 00:10:51,443
I have a headache, Dad.
126
00:10:51,442 --> 00:10:52,819
Oh.
127
00:10:56,281 --> 00:10:58,329
So you were with Joyce.
128
00:10:59,409 --> 00:11:00,956
I just saw her leaving.
129
00:11:00,952 --> 00:11:04,126
Hardly recognised her without
her lab coat and clipboard.
130
00:11:05,206 --> 00:11:06,423
Here.
131
00:11:06,416 --> 00:11:08,464
Take one of these, try to relax.
132
00:11:09,836 --> 00:11:12,134
You do know I hate those pills.
133
00:11:14,424 --> 00:11:15,721
Look...
134
00:11:17,135 --> 00:11:20,105
I don't want to get your hopes up but...
135
00:11:20,096 --> 00:11:21,518
I have something.
136
00:11:22,557 --> 00:11:26,733
Something which could change your life
and every other scanner.
137
00:11:31,482 --> 00:11:34,577
That, my darling, is EPH-3
138
00:11:34,569 --> 00:11:36,412
A new delivery system.
139
00:11:36,404 --> 00:11:39,658
Electronically charged skin patches.
140
00:11:39,657 --> 00:11:43,787
You wear it behind the ear and the drug is
absorbed into the blood stream.
141
00:11:43,786 --> 00:11:46,005
One patch should last 24 hours.
142
00:11:45,997 --> 00:11:48,466
And you think it'll stop the pain?
143
00:11:48,458 --> 00:11:49,675
And the voices?
144
00:11:49,667 --> 00:11:54,093
I certainly hope so. We've done everything
possible to purify the compound.
145
00:11:56,174 --> 00:11:57,801
When can I try it?
146
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,519
As soon as I've finished testing.
147
00:12:00,511 --> 00:12:04,266
I hope it's soon cos I can't stand
those pills any longer.
148
00:12:04,265 --> 00:12:07,860
They stop the pain,
but everything else too.
149
00:12:07,852 --> 00:12:11,857
We don't know, if any,
what the side effects are.
150
00:12:11,856 --> 00:12:15,656
As you know, there's no such thing
as scanner lab rats.
151
00:12:17,654 --> 00:12:19,827
Then let me work with you on it, Dad.
152
00:12:19,822 --> 00:12:22,291
I understand the problem better than anyone.
153
00:12:22,283 --> 00:12:25,662
I live with it every day.
I can be your personal control group.
154
00:12:25,662 --> 00:12:27,380
Helena...
155
00:12:27,372 --> 00:12:29,545
We've been through this before.
156
00:12:31,542 --> 00:12:33,590
Who are you going to test it on?
157
00:12:33,586 --> 00:12:37,511
I've found two terminally ill scanners
who'll volunteer.
158
00:12:37,507 --> 00:12:40,602
They're at the Baumann Clinic.
159
00:12:42,053 --> 00:12:44,852
You're going to work with Dr Baumann again?
160
00:12:48,059 --> 00:12:49,732
That pervert.
161
00:12:49,727 --> 00:12:53,277
It's the only clinic for scanners
in the region.
162
00:12:54,482 --> 00:12:59,409
I don't want anything to do with EPH-3
if that sadist is going to be involved.
163
00:13:00,530 --> 00:13:02,703
Helena, be reasonable.
164
00:13:04,951 --> 00:13:06,544
I'm sorry, Dad.
165
00:13:06,536 --> 00:13:10,006
I just have so much work to do -
a meeting tomorrow with ASN.
166
00:13:09,998 --> 00:13:12,046
I know. Get some rest.
167
00:13:12,041 --> 00:13:15,170
Come on. We can catch up in the morning.
168
00:13:18,089 --> 00:13:19,261
Ow !!
169
00:13:19,257 --> 00:13:21,180
Stop!
170
00:13:21,175 --> 00:13:23,678
Ow! Stop! Please.
171
00:13:23,678 --> 00:13:25,897
Subject demonstrated pain responses
172
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:29,313
which could not be verified
without further examination.
173
00:13:29,309 --> 00:13:31,562
Oh, keep it quiet, Helena.
174
00:13:31,561 --> 00:13:32,733
It doesn't hurt that much.
176
00:13:39,027 --> 00:13:42,076
Please don't! Ow!
177
00:13:44,157 --> 00:13:46,455
Ow! Stop, please!
178
00:13:46,451 --> 00:13:49,330
Ow! Ow! Stop!
179
00:13:54,584 --> 00:13:55,961
Ow !!
180
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,303
Please stop!
181
00:14:01,424 --> 00:14:05,429
Ow! Stop!
185
00:16:02,628 --> 00:16:03,754
Ugh!
186
00:16:08,551 --> 00:16:12,306
Oh, you stupid creature.
188
00:16:27,695 --> 00:16:31,120
Well, if it isn't my gorgeous god-daughter.
189
00:16:31,115 --> 00:16:33,868
Well, if it isn't our expensive attorney.
190
00:16:36,537 --> 00:16:38,631
How do you feel this morning, Helena?
191
00:16:38,623 --> 00:16:40,625
Like pure electricity.
192
00:16:40,625 --> 00:16:43,253
Well, that's a change.
193
00:16:43,252 --> 00:16:45,004
Yes, it certainly is.
194
00:16:45,004 --> 00:16:49,475
So I hear you're taking the world
by storm with Mark Dragon.
195
00:16:49,467 --> 00:16:50,969
They haven't seen anything yet.
196
00:16:50,968 --> 00:16:54,814
Oh, aren't we the confident one these days.
197
00:16:54,805 --> 00:16:57,149
Thanks to Daddy, dear.
198
00:16:58,142 --> 00:16:59,894
Have a good day.
201
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:14,538
What's with her?
202
00:17:15,826 --> 00:17:18,375
I'm not sure. She's been a little...
203
00:17:18,371 --> 00:17:19,918
flighty lately.
204
00:17:19,914 --> 00:17:21,006
I see.
205
00:17:22,542 --> 00:17:25,216
So why don't you bring her into the business?
206
00:17:25,211 --> 00:17:27,339
I'm not convinced she's ready.
208
00:17:30,633 --> 00:17:32,510
Oh, you're right, it's...
209
00:17:32,510 --> 00:17:36,686
It's Alex. I just feel he should have
something to come home to.
210
00:17:37,723 --> 00:17:39,771
I guess when you adopt children
211
00:17:39,767 --> 00:17:43,863
you're always afraid that your hold
on them is a little tenuous.
212
00:17:45,606 --> 00:17:48,826
Elton, you've adopted them both.
213
00:17:48,818 --> 00:17:51,071
I mean they're both your children.
214
00:17:51,070 --> 00:17:55,792
I think it's time that you faced the fact
that Alex just might not be coming back.
215
00:17:55,783 --> 00:17:58,332
So give her a chance.
216
00:17:58,327 --> 00:18:00,830
It could make things easier for both of you.
217
00:18:00,830 --> 00:18:02,798
I've lost Alex, Mike.
218
00:18:05,793 --> 00:18:08,046
I don't want to lose her too.
231
00:19:15,279 --> 00:19:18,954
AS N Broadcasting.
232
00:19:18,949 --> 00:19:21,327
54 TV stations.
233
00:19:21,327 --> 00:19:24,456
Satellite pick up in 15 countries.
234
00:19:25,915 --> 00:19:29,545
Well, here's to the new kid
on the block, Helena.
235
00:19:29,543 --> 00:19:31,887
I'm very flattered, Mr Dragon
236
00:19:31,879 --> 00:19:37,431
I didn't know if you realised just how
much work I put in to the ASN deal.
237
00:19:37,426 --> 00:19:40,521
Not you - me, Mark Dragon.
238
00:19:40,513 --> 00:19:42,766
Takeover king, your boss.
239
00:19:44,058 --> 00:19:48,939
Oh, come on, Helena. People expect
my employees to do the courting
240
00:19:48,938 --> 00:19:52,158
and you do it very well
241
00:19:52,149 --> 00:19:55,619
but when it comes to the wedding,
they want me as the groom.
242
00:19:55,611 --> 00:19:58,285
And I'm always the bridesmaid,
never the bride, right?
243
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,203
It takes time, sweetie.
244
00:20:00,199 --> 00:20:03,499
But if you play your cards right...
you'll be fine.
245
00:20:03,494 --> 00:20:06,919
And what exactly am I doing here,
Mr Dragon?
246
00:20:06,914 --> 00:20:10,964
You're...um...window dressing,
you know what I mean?
247
00:20:15,589 --> 00:20:17,387
Look who's here.
248
00:20:17,383 --> 00:20:21,388
Mr First World Bank himself.
249
00:20:22,555 --> 00:20:24,523
You wanna be the big cheese one day?
250
00:20:24,515 --> 00:20:26,938
Watch a master at work.
251
00:20:29,395 --> 00:20:33,025
Mr Crandall! What a surprise!
253
00:20:35,526 --> 00:20:37,073
Mark Dragon.
254
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:39,413
Mr Dudswell and Mr Bentley.
255
00:20:39,405 --> 00:20:40,622
Won't you join us?
256
00:20:40,614 --> 00:20:43,208
No, thanks,
I'd hate to bust up your evening.
257
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,170
Oh, not at all, not at all.
We're just celebrating.
258
00:20:46,162 --> 00:20:48,756
Oh? Are you about to make an announcement?
259
00:20:48,748 --> 00:20:51,297
Well, yes, but not the kind you mean.
260
00:20:51,292 --> 00:20:55,923
It's business. A little thing called
ASN Broadcasting - I just bought it.
261
00:20:55,921 --> 00:20:59,346
Oh really! And how do you plan
to finance this?
262
00:20:59,341 --> 00:21:03,642
That's exactly what I wanted
to talk to you about.
263
00:21:03,637 --> 00:21:07,608
Helena Monet, VP Finance.
I'm very pleased to meet you, Mr Crandall.
264
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,729
It's always a pleasure to meet
such a beautiful lady.
265
00:21:11,771 --> 00:21:12,988
Where was I?
266
00:21:12,980 --> 00:21:16,484
Listen, honey. Go get us some more
champagne, would you, babe? Atta, girl.
268
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:20,154
One more thing, I...
269
00:21:20,154 --> 00:21:23,033
gotta dance!
270
00:21:27,453 --> 00:21:30,923
- Look at him!
- Look at that guy!
275
00:22:19,421 --> 00:22:21,389
- Is he all right?
- I don't know.
276
00:22:21,382 --> 00:22:22,634
Oh my God!
277
00:22:22,633 --> 00:22:26,888
Don't take it personal, Mark.
You just fucked with the wrong person.
278
00:22:28,764 --> 00:22:30,687
See ya!
281
00:23:03,132 --> 00:23:05,635
Dr Baumann.
282
00:23:05,634 --> 00:23:07,102
No one is allowed in here.
283
00:23:07,094 --> 00:23:11,816
Oh, don't worry, Doctor. I'll just take
a moment of your precious time.
284
00:23:11,807 --> 00:23:14,481
Who are you? What do you want?
285
00:23:15,519 --> 00:23:18,113
I guess for you I'm just a distant memory.
286
00:23:18,105 --> 00:23:20,233
But where are your awards?
287
00:23:20,232 --> 00:23:22,576
All those ground-breaking experiments
288
00:23:22,568 --> 00:23:25,617
and no recognition from
the psychiatric community.
289
00:23:25,613 --> 00:23:27,832
What a pity!
290
00:23:27,823 --> 00:23:31,123
I personally thought that your work
with that little girl from Poland
291
00:23:31,118 --> 00:23:32,916
was Nobel Prize material.
292
00:23:32,912 --> 00:23:34,459
What was her name?
293
00:23:35,623 --> 00:23:37,466
Helena Lowy.
294
00:23:39,460 --> 00:23:41,178
That's right.
295
00:23:42,379 --> 00:23:44,256
Dear little Helena.
296
00:23:44,256 --> 00:23:47,009
Dear little Helena, my ass!
297
00:23:47,009 --> 00:23:51,105
You were always a brat and I can see now
that things haven't changed...
298
00:23:51,096 --> 00:23:53,770
Now, now, you know, Doctor,
it's not polite to point.
299
00:23:53,766 --> 00:23:55,439
Where the hell did you get the idea
300
00:23:55,434 --> 00:23:57,812
- that you could waltz in here...
- I said...
301
00:23:57,811 --> 00:24:00,610
it's not polite to point.
303
00:24:08,322 --> 00:24:11,622
The subject demonstrated pain responses
304
00:24:11,617 --> 00:24:15,042
which could not be verified
without further examination.
305
00:24:16,622 --> 00:24:18,750
Still a photography buff, I see.
306
00:24:19,750 --> 00:24:22,594
I... I was just trying to help you.
307
00:24:22,586 --> 00:24:24,054
There was no other way.
308
00:24:24,046 --> 00:24:28,301
I guess I should have felt honoured, being
your favourite little lab rat and all,
309
00:24:28,300 --> 00:24:29,392
but I didn't.
310
00:24:29,385 --> 00:24:33,106
I felt like shit.
312
00:25:03,502 --> 00:25:06,005
Now what do you say?
313
00:25:08,173 --> 00:25:09,675
I'm sorry.
314
00:25:09,675 --> 00:25:12,053
No, that's not it.
315
00:25:12,052 --> 00:25:14,805
Forget the camera, Doctor.
316
00:25:14,805 --> 00:25:16,057
Come on.
317
00:25:22,312 --> 00:25:23,689
Cheese!
318
00:25:36,535 --> 00:25:40,039
Darn! I hate the way the flash makes
their eyes go red.
319
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:56,351
Hey, lady! Looking for someone?
320
00:26:00,601 --> 00:26:03,775
Work, work, work.
324
00:26:14,073 --> 00:26:17,623
You're starting to piss me off, pal.
325
00:26:20,913 --> 00:26:23,086
Oh shi...!
326
00:26:23,082 --> 00:26:24,709
That too can be arranged.
328
00:26:31,548 --> 00:26:34,392
Oh, I hope you're not going to
shoot me with that.
330
00:26:38,055 --> 00:26:40,478
That's better. Now, come here.
331
00:26:40,474 --> 00:26:42,727
Yeah, that's it.
332
00:26:42,726 --> 00:26:46,401
Just a little closer so we can get
to know each other better.
333
00:26:48,732 --> 00:26:52,327
Did you ever play "Doctor"
when you were a kid?
335
00:26:54,363 --> 00:26:55,785
It was fun, wasn't it?
336
00:26:55,781 --> 00:26:57,078
Yeah.
337
00:26:57,074 --> 00:26:58,417
Do you want to play it now?
338
00:26:58,408 --> 00:27:00,206
OK.
339
00:27:02,704 --> 00:27:03,876
Open your mouth.
340
00:27:05,332 --> 00:27:09,178
And now say, "Aaaaaaah!"
342
00:27:17,553 --> 00:27:19,396
Next?
345
00:27:30,858 --> 00:27:33,862
You could... You could be...
346
00:27:36,989 --> 00:27:39,617
You could be in big trouble, lady.
347
00:27:39,616 --> 00:27:43,917
It's OK, really.
I worked it all out ahead of time.
348
00:27:44,955 --> 00:27:46,377
With Doctor Baumann.
349
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:49,752
Don't worry. I'm one of you.
350
00:27:51,003 --> 00:27:54,678
An alumni of the hallowed halls of
Baumann Institute.
351
00:27:54,673 --> 00:27:56,175
And guess what.
352
00:27:56,175 --> 00:27:58,348
It's graduation day.
353
00:27:58,343 --> 00:27:59,765
Are you a scanner?
354
00:27:59,761 --> 00:28:01,138
Like us?
355
00:28:01,138 --> 00:28:03,891
Not like you. Not by a long shot.
356
00:28:03,891 --> 00:28:06,895
Cos you know those
skull-crashing headaches
357
00:28:06,894 --> 00:28:09,693
that make you feel like your brain's on fire?
358
00:28:09,688 --> 00:28:15,195
And that endless cacophony of voices
that runs on and on and on in your head
359
00:28:15,194 --> 00:28:19,791
until you would gladly claw out
your own eyes with your bare hands,
360
00:28:19,781 --> 00:28:24,753
if it will only give you one single second
of blessed silence.
361
00:28:24,745 --> 00:28:26,247
But you know what?
362
00:28:26,246 --> 00:28:28,920
I got it licked and so can you.
363
00:28:43,805 --> 00:28:45,557
With EPH-3.
364
00:28:45,557 --> 00:28:49,152
The latest miracle of
neuropharmalogical research.
365
00:28:49,144 --> 00:28:51,613
I had a headache this big
366
00:28:51,605 --> 00:28:54,484
but then I tried EPH-3
367
00:28:54,483 --> 00:28:58,363
and it went away just like that,
so don't delay.
368
00:28:58,362 --> 00:29:03,209
Get your free samples of EPH-3 now
while quantities last.
369
00:29:10,374 --> 00:29:13,469
And then maybe, just maybe,
370
00:29:13,460 --> 00:29:17,260
if you're willing to give it your all, 100%
you will not only win your freedom
372
00:29:20,008 --> 00:29:25,606
but the opportunity to stand beside me,
tall and proud, and say, "We're scanners.
374
00:29:27,599 --> 00:29:32,821
"We do not belong on the bottom of
the dung heap. We belong at the top."
375
00:29:32,813 --> 00:29:35,236
And we're going to go out there
376
00:29:35,232 --> 00:29:41,865
and make those self-righteous normals
squirm like worms on hooks.
378
00:29:50,747 --> 00:29:55,719
There will, of course, be a small price
for the second instalment.
379
00:29:55,711 --> 00:30:01,138
Do any of you remember a patient here
from about 15 years ago
380
00:30:01,133 --> 00:30:04,228
- named Alex Malone?
- I know him.
381
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:35,046
You wanted to speak with me, master?
382
00:30:35,042 --> 00:30:38,012
Yes, Alex. I would like to speak with you.
383
00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:39,755
Come.
384
00:30:47,888 --> 00:30:49,435
Now, tell me...
385
00:30:49,431 --> 00:30:51,980
You have been here a long time
386
00:30:51,975 --> 00:30:55,104
but why do you continue to stay here?
387
00:30:57,439 --> 00:31:00,534
Because I don't belong
in the outside world.
388
00:31:00,525 --> 00:31:03,244
You don't belong here either.
389
00:31:03,236 --> 00:31:07,912
This is not the place
for you to hide from yourself
390
00:31:07,908 --> 00:31:09,910
nor from your past.
391
00:31:09,910 --> 00:31:12,129
I wanted to go back, master.
392
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:15,670
I tried everything but
I can't find the answer,
393
00:31:15,665 --> 00:31:17,884
the way to live with myself.
394
00:31:17,876 --> 00:31:21,380
You have special powers.
395
00:31:22,506 --> 00:31:26,977
You must choose whether
to treat them as a curse
396
00:31:26,968 --> 00:31:28,561
or a gift.
397
00:31:34,059 --> 00:31:37,814
I killed my best friend with my special power.
398
00:31:43,235 --> 00:31:45,704
Instead of denying them...
399
00:31:47,197 --> 00:31:50,167
...you could do good with your powers.
400
00:31:50,158 --> 00:31:51,785
There is a saying.
402
00:31:54,204 --> 00:31:56,457
That means...
403
00:31:56,456 --> 00:32:02,429
"if you receive a boat as a gift,
do not criticise the hull."
406
00:32:27,279 --> 00:32:28,496
Hello?
408
00:32:41,293 --> 00:32:45,139
- J' There's no sitting“;
- Who's there?
411
00:32:59,311 --> 00:33:01,655
Helena, what are you doing?
412
00:33:01,646 --> 00:33:06,527
I thought I'd throw a little party
to thank you for your magnificent gift.
413
00:33:06,526 --> 00:33:08,699
You took EPH-3?
414
00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:14,664
It works wonderfully, Daddy.
You're a genius.
415
00:33:14,659 --> 00:33:16,878
Are you insane?
416
00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:20,044
Take it off. It's dangerous.
417
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:25,092
But I've never felt so marvelous.
You've got to give me more.
418
00:33:25,086 --> 00:33:26,508
That's out of the question.
419
00:33:26,505 --> 00:33:29,008
Why don't you come in here and we'll discuss it?
420
00:33:29,007 --> 00:33:31,635
Come out of there this instant.
423
00:34:13,552 --> 00:34:16,681
Remember when you adopted us?
424
00:34:19,307 --> 00:34:24,313
Two poor little orphans that no one wanted.
425
00:34:24,312 --> 00:34:25,689
We were freaks.
426
00:34:33,113 --> 00:34:38,916
You told us you wanted
a little boy to succeed you
427
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:43,586
and a little girl of your very own.
428
00:34:43,582 --> 00:34:46,677
But you didn't say what for.
429
00:34:48,169 --> 00:34:52,140
That's why you didn't want me to work.
430
00:34:59,556 --> 00:35:02,480
You wanted me all for yourself.
431
00:35:02,475 --> 00:35:04,477
It's the drug.
432
00:35:05,520 --> 00:35:06,863
Take it off.
433
00:35:06,855 --> 00:35:10,405
All that pain and all this time...
434
00:35:11,735 --> 00:35:14,079
...you've had the answer.
435
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:15,413
Take it off.
436
00:35:48,772 --> 00:35:51,742
Nothing personal, Daddy,
437
00:35:51,733 --> 00:35:56,614
but with you around, I'd never get control
of your company.
441
00:36:20,637 --> 00:36:22,639
Michael!
442
00:36:22,639 --> 00:36:25,313
I got here as fast as I could.
443
00:36:25,308 --> 00:36:26,855
What happened?
444
00:36:28,687 --> 00:36:32,157
They say it was a heart attack, Michael,
445
00:36:32,148 --> 00:36:36,995
but I just saw him floating out there
and I tried to help him but...
446
00:36:36,986 --> 00:36:38,158
I was too late.
447
00:36:40,699 --> 00:36:44,704
What was he doing in the hot tub
at this hour? He hated that hot tub.
448
00:36:46,287 --> 00:36:48,381
Michael, he's dead.
449
00:36:51,084 --> 00:36:53,633
My dad's dead.
450
00:37:15,525 --> 00:37:18,244
Of course I'll make all the arrangements.
451
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:21,239
At least his will is in order.
452
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:25,961
As you know, I'm the executor so
I can go over it with you in detail.
453
00:37:27,078 --> 00:37:29,581
In a few days - there's no rush,
don't worry.
454
00:37:32,709 --> 00:37:35,303
And of course I'll have to contact Alex.
455
00:37:35,295 --> 00:37:39,266
He's going to have to make several
decisions about the company.
456
00:37:39,257 --> 00:37:43,057
I don't think you can. You know,
Father tried to find him for a year.
457
00:37:43,052 --> 00:37:44,224
Yes.
458
00:37:45,388 --> 00:37:48,392
Perhaps that's why Alex
didn't want to be found.
459
00:37:48,391 --> 00:37:50,143
Not by his father, at least.
460
00:37:50,143 --> 00:37:51,235
Michael, you...
461
00:37:51,227 --> 00:37:53,776
Don't get your hopes up. We'll see.
462
00:37:56,649 --> 00:37:58,447
I've got to make some calls.
463
00:38:02,447 --> 00:38:04,495
And don't worry, please.
464
00:38:04,491 --> 00:38:06,869
I'm taking care of everything.
465
00:38:17,837 --> 00:38:20,431
Alex, hmm...
466
00:38:21,466 --> 00:38:22,968
My dear...
467
00:38:24,093 --> 00:38:26,562
...beloved brother.
469
00:39:05,009 --> 00:39:08,513
Your passport is due to expire
in less than a week.
470
00:39:08,513 --> 00:39:11,016
I know. I'm only going to be here
a couple of days.
471
00:39:11,015 --> 00:39:13,109
Sorry, you cannot enter Thailand
472
00:39:13,101 --> 00:39:18,198
without a passport valid for at least
six months after the date of your arrival.
473
00:39:26,197 --> 00:39:30,373
Of course, we will make an exception
in your case.
474
00:39:30,368 --> 00:39:32,621
Enjoy your stay, sir.
476
00:39:36,291 --> 00:39:37,838
Thank you.
477
00:39:45,884 --> 00:39:47,511
Welcome to Thailand.
478
00:39:47,510 --> 00:39:50,559
Yeah, right.
479
00:40:07,488 --> 00:40:09,582
The master says...
480
00:40:09,574 --> 00:40:12,418
we must accept death as karma.
481
00:40:14,954 --> 00:40:18,458
But there's a long way between
theory and practice.
482
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:24,305
I cannot accept Father's death, Michael.
484
00:40:45,026 --> 00:40:47,324
It's been hard on all of us.
485
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:49,948
Come back with me. It's been over a year.
486
00:40:49,948 --> 00:40:52,246
No one blames you for what happened.
488
00:41:43,960 --> 00:41:47,430
He never understood. Even if I hadn't...
490
00:41:51,634 --> 00:41:54,729
Even if things hadn't turned out
the way they did, Mike,
491
00:41:54,721 --> 00:41:56,849
I still wouldn't have gone back
to the company.
492
00:41:57,890 --> 00:42:01,986
Well, he was obsessed with having an heir
to the family business, you know that.
493
00:42:01,978 --> 00:42:03,480
I wish it had been Helena.
494
00:42:03,479 --> 00:42:05,197
It just might be if you don't come back.
495
00:42:06,858 --> 00:42:08,405
Alex, don't get me wrong,
496
00:42:08,401 --> 00:42:12,702
but I feel there's something pretty
strange about your father's death.
497
00:42:15,658 --> 00:42:19,253
Alex, I didn't come here just to tell you
about your father.
498
00:42:20,830 --> 00:42:22,457
It's Helena.
499
00:42:22,457 --> 00:42:24,459
Something's happened to her.
501
00:42:54,489 --> 00:42:58,084
Yes, I'm certain.
I saw the patch on her neck.
502
00:42:58,076 --> 00:43:00,795
Why would she do that, Mike?
503
00:43:00,787 --> 00:43:03,040
She was never the impulsive type.
504
00:43:03,039 --> 00:43:05,133
She's changed, Alex.
505
00:43:05,124 --> 00:43:07,047
Not for the better.
506
00:43:07,043 --> 00:43:09,592
What do you mean?
507
00:43:09,587 --> 00:43:11,430
I can't put my finger on it but...
508
00:43:11,422 --> 00:43:15,768
it was as if she resented the way
your father treated her.
509
00:44:21,909 --> 00:44:23,752
Hey, Alex!
510
00:44:23,744 --> 00:44:26,213
It's a long way from Baumann's Clinic, huh?
512
00:45:29,685 --> 00:45:34,987
HELENA: My brother, Alex, is dead.
513
00:45:34,982 --> 00:45:39,328
As you can imagine, this second blow
has affected me deeply.
514
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:43,996
However, because both my father
and my brother are now gone,
515
00:45:43,991 --> 00:45:46,790
I have, through these tragic accidents,
516
00:45:46,786 --> 00:45:51,041
been left in the position of being
my father's sole heir.
517
00:45:52,124 --> 00:45:55,128
And after a great deal of soul searching,
518
00:45:55,127 --> 00:45:57,926
I have decided to succeed him.
519
00:45:59,006 --> 00:46:03,682
As chairman and CEO of Monet Pharmaceutical.
520
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:14,071
Well, we all share your grief, Miss Monet,
521
00:46:14,063 --> 00:46:19,194
and I believe that I can safely say
that we appreciate your desire
522
00:46:19,193 --> 00:46:21,787
to continue your father's work.
523
00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:27,081
However, a decision of this nature
must be brought to a vote.
524
00:46:27,076 --> 00:46:29,704
I presume you have a candidate in mind.
525
00:46:29,704 --> 00:46:33,129
Yes, I would like to nominate...
529
00:46:41,924 --> 00:46:43,221
Miss Helena Monet.
530
00:46:58,232 --> 00:47:00,985
My father was a brilliant scientist.
531
00:47:00,985 --> 00:47:03,784
He was a great humanitarian.
532
00:47:03,779 --> 00:47:08,660
But as many of you no doubt realise,
he was not an aggressive businessman.
533
00:47:08,659 --> 00:47:14,007
He was content to simply maintain
corporate stature of Monet Pharmaceutical.
534
00:47:13,998 --> 00:47:15,750
However...
535
00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:18,048
I am not.
536
00:47:18,044 --> 00:47:20,593
So here is the game plan.
537
00:47:20,588 --> 00:47:25,890
First, annihilation of MPl's competitors
in the pharmaceutical field
538
00:47:25,885 --> 00:47:30,561
Second, strategic diversification
and expansion into new areas.
539
00:47:30,556 --> 00:47:35,312
Third, total domination of
all new markets and territories.
540
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,074
Things have changed around here, guys.
541
00:47:40,066 --> 00:47:42,194
And it's going to be a bumpy ride,
542
00:47:42,193 --> 00:47:43,911
so if you want to bail out,
543
00:47:43,903 --> 00:47:45,530
bail out now.
544
00:48:12,765 --> 00:48:14,392
Alex.
545
00:48:49,802 --> 00:48:53,306
I know you are traumatized.
546
00:48:53,305 --> 00:48:59,733
But there is evil in this world
that not even a stoic can ignore.
547
00:48:59,728 --> 00:49:04,154
And we must face the conflict
548
00:49:04,150 --> 00:49:08,656
between such evil and its opposite, good.
549
00:49:10,364 --> 00:49:12,537
We must have criteria
550
00:49:12,533 --> 00:49:17,505
for deciding what,
in any situation, is good,
551
00:49:17,496 --> 00:49:20,124
what is evil.
552
00:49:20,124 --> 00:49:24,595
You will find the fulcrum in your heart.
553
00:49:26,046 --> 00:49:30,347
Now go deep inside yourself.
554
00:49:30,342 --> 00:49:33,892
Use the long breath method.
556
00:49:40,478 --> 00:49:43,948
Now that you can control your breath...
557
00:49:44,982 --> 00:49:49,579
...you learn to control your heart.
559
00:50:24,271 --> 00:50:25,739
- Hi.
- Hi.
560
00:50:25,731 --> 00:50:27,358
- How are you?
- Fine.
561
00:50:27,358 --> 00:50:28,905
Listen, Joyce...
562
00:50:28,901 --> 00:50:31,074
I have a question.
563
00:50:35,533 --> 00:50:39,709
Before Father's heart attack he was
working on a new formula, EPH-3.
564
00:50:39,703 --> 00:50:40,875
You know about it?
565
00:50:40,871 --> 00:50:42,498
- Mm-hmm, a little.
- Good.
566
00:50:42,498 --> 00:50:47,049
- Because I want to go into production.
- Helena, that's impossible.
567
00:50:47,044 --> 00:50:50,173
Your father was making progress
but it was still experimental.
568
00:50:50,172 --> 00:50:52,766
It's OK, Joyce.
569
00:50:52,758 --> 00:50:55,102
I tried it myself.
570
00:50:55,094 --> 00:50:57,188
Helena, how could you do that?
571
00:50:57,179 --> 00:51:00,149
Do you know what could have happened
to you, taking an untested drug?
572
00:51:00,140 --> 00:51:03,485
I know, I know, but it works, Joyce.
It works beautifully.
573
00:51:03,477 --> 00:51:07,823
No negative side effects,
just a complete release from pain.
574
00:51:07,815 --> 00:51:12,821
The problem is Dad only left a small
supply and I need more to keep going.
575
00:51:12,820 --> 00:51:15,699
Especially if I'm going to run this company.
576
00:51:15,698 --> 00:51:18,417
I can't do that. I don't have the formula.
577
00:51:19,702 --> 00:51:22,000
Here. You have to do top to bottom analysis
578
00:51:21,996 --> 00:51:25,466
and I want you to put it into
full scale production immediately.
579
00:51:28,294 --> 00:51:31,218
This is what Dad wanted.
580
00:51:31,213 --> 00:51:35,343
It was his dream to make scanners' lives
bearable, to cure their pain.
581
00:51:35,342 --> 00:51:37,891
We cannot let it be destroyed.
582
00:51:39,054 --> 00:51:41,227
It's going to take some time.
583
00:51:41,223 --> 00:51:44,648
I'm so glad I have at least one friend here.
584
00:51:44,643 --> 00:51:46,566
Thank you, Joyce.
586
00:51:53,152 --> 00:51:55,405
You wanted to see me, Miss Monet?
587
00:51:55,404 --> 00:51:57,031
Yes. George, isn't it?
588
00:51:57,031 --> 00:51:58,248
Yes, Miss Monet.
589
00:51:58,240 --> 00:51:59,617
Have a seat.
590
00:52:02,119 --> 00:52:04,417
I liked your presentation to the board.
591
00:52:04,413 --> 00:52:05,585
Thank you, Miss Monet.
592
00:52:05,581 --> 00:52:08,755
I want you to be my personal assistant.
Any problems with that, George?
593
00:52:08,751 --> 00:52:10,628
- No, I'd be...
- Good.
594
00:52:10,628 --> 00:52:14,678
Because I want all the company's financial
records, the latest earnings report,
595
00:52:14,673 --> 00:52:17,426
a list of all our assets,
particularly liquid assets.
596
00:52:17,426 --> 00:52:20,976
I want it complete and
I want it in an hour. Got that?
597
00:52:20,971 --> 00:52:23,065
Yes, Miss Monet.
598
00:52:23,057 --> 00:52:24,934
One more thing.
599
00:52:24,933 --> 00:52:27,527
- Do you have a girlfriend?
- Yes.
600
00:52:27,519 --> 00:52:28,941
Ditch her.
601
00:52:28,937 --> 00:52:31,531
You are going...
602
00:52:31,523 --> 00:52:33,446
to be a very...
603
00:52:33,442 --> 00:52:35,661
busy boy.
604
00:52:38,822 --> 00:52:44,124
You must be just so very excited.
You've got a new rock video,
605
00:52:44,119 --> 00:52:48,920
A new hairdo, I see, and if my research
staff haven't screwed up again,
606
00:52:48,916 --> 00:52:50,543
a new man in your life.
607
00:52:50,542 --> 00:52:55,264
- Whoa, a new man in my life.
- Come on, Georgie boy,
608
00:52:55,255 --> 00:52:58,134
use your imagination.
609
00:52:58,133 --> 00:53:01,558
The video's coming out next week
and so far the response...
610
00:53:01,553 --> 00:53:06,104
Oh yes, that's much better.
611
00:53:06,100 --> 00:53:10,480
Oh yes, that's much better.
612
00:53:10,479 --> 00:53:16,236
You make me tingle all over.
613
00:53:19,738 --> 00:53:22,617
I didn't say that, did I?
614
00:53:22,616 --> 00:53:26,291
We'd better watch it-
we're on live television.
615
00:53:26,286 --> 00:53:33,511
I need you so bad. I need you now.
617
00:53:36,255 --> 00:53:38,474
Let's make it with a naked nasty.
618
00:53:38,465 --> 00:53:41,093
Oh yeah...
619
00:53:41,093 --> 00:53:44,063
Let's make it with a naked nasty.
621
00:53:50,769 --> 00:53:53,864
Please stand by. We are experiencing
technical difficulties.
622
00:53:53,856 --> 00:53:59,738
I hope you're not experiencing
any technical difficulties, George.
623
00:54:00,654 --> 00:54:03,703
No, no, no. Just watch the TV, OK?
625
00:54:37,274 --> 00:54:39,652
It works.
626
00:54:41,403 --> 00:54:45,158
I've got a feeling we'll be going
network on this.
627
00:54:45,157 --> 00:54:46,875
You see what's happening to the ASN stock?
628
00:54:46,867 --> 00:54:48,915
Yeah? Well, you're supposed to be
in charge of it.
629
00:54:48,911 --> 00:54:51,755
Well how the hell did it happen?
630
00:54:53,415 --> 00:54:56,214
Well, tell them to stop selling, jerk off.
631
00:54:57,294 --> 00:55:01,595
I am the goddamn takeover king.
Nobody does this to me.
632
00:55:01,590 --> 00:55:06,471
Find out who the hell's behind it
and find out now.
633
00:55:06,470 --> 00:55:08,438
Jesus!
634
00:55:08,430 --> 00:55:11,559
Helena, who the hell let you in here?
635
00:55:11,558 --> 00:55:15,153
Is that the way to greet your favourite
girl Friday?
636
00:55:15,145 --> 00:55:18,570
What did you do?
Slip a Mickey in my drink?
637
00:55:18,565 --> 00:55:23,787
I actually slipped a Mickey
into your life.
638
00:55:24,863 --> 00:55:26,536
By the way, how am I doing?
639
00:55:26,532 --> 00:55:30,457
You? You? You're behind this?
640
00:55:34,623 --> 00:55:36,717
Well, let me tell you something.
641
00:55:36,708 --> 00:55:41,464
You don't have a hope in hell, cos I
personally am going to rip off your balls
642
00:55:41,463 --> 00:55:44,637
- and shove 'em down your throat.
- Ooh!
643
00:55:44,633 --> 00:55:46,681
I don't have any balls, Mark.
644
00:55:46,677 --> 00:55:47,974
Goddamn right.
645
00:55:47,970 --> 00:55:50,644
But by the look of things,
I do have ASN.
646
00:55:50,639 --> 00:55:52,357
What was it again?
647
00:55:52,349 --> 00:55:55,523
15 stations in 54 countries
or the other way around?
648
00:55:55,519 --> 00:55:58,068
Over my dead body.
649
00:55:58,063 --> 00:56:02,944
I knew you had a knack for business,
Mark, but wow!
650
00:56:02,943 --> 00:56:04,820
That's brilliant!
651
00:56:04,820 --> 00:56:07,619
What are you talking about?
What do you mean?
652
00:56:09,992 --> 00:56:16,341
I mean how about a nice cool dip
in the old pool?
653
00:56:16,331 --> 00:56:18,208
What are you, nuts? It's free...
654
00:56:21,545 --> 00:56:23,718
Now that you mention it...
656
00:56:25,173 --> 00:56:28,973
Um... Not such a bad idea.
657
00:56:31,972 --> 00:56:37,524
Mark, Mark, Mark, this exhibitionist
thing, I start to worry about you.
658
00:56:37,519 --> 00:56:42,070
Mmm... Excellent form, Mark.
659
00:56:45,235 --> 00:56:48,409
I must say, you do have balls.
660
00:56:48,405 --> 00:56:51,204
Now, hang on to them.
661
00:57:18,143 --> 00:57:20,271
Now that I think of it,
662
00:57:20,270 --> 00:57:23,649
it was 54 stations, 15 countries.
663
00:57:23,649 --> 00:57:28,246
Exactly what I need for my next takeover.
664
00:57:56,390 --> 00:57:57,482
Helena?
665
00:59:43,371 --> 00:59:44,418
Can I help you?
666
00:59:44,414 --> 00:59:47,918
Yes, I'm here to see Helena Monet.
I'm her brother, Alex.
667
00:59:47,918 --> 00:59:48,965
Just a moment.
668
00:59:52,005 --> 00:59:54,303
Miss Monet's brother is here to see her.
669
01:00:03,892 --> 01:00:06,395
- They'll just be a moment.
- Thank you.
670
01:00:12,192 --> 01:00:13,409
Alex!
671
01:00:20,242 --> 01:00:22,290
You haven't changed.
672
01:00:25,372 --> 01:00:27,170
You heard.
673
01:00:29,543 --> 01:00:31,090
Yeah, I've heard.
674
01:00:34,714 --> 01:00:36,136
Michael told me.
675
01:00:36,133 --> 01:00:38,056
Michael?
676
01:00:38,051 --> 01:00:40,600
When did you talk to him?
677
01:00:44,724 --> 01:00:46,476
He's dead.
678
01:00:46,476 --> 01:00:48,353
Oh my God!
679
01:00:48,353 --> 01:00:50,401
Not Michael.
680
01:00:53,066 --> 01:00:55,194
What happened?
681
01:00:57,737 --> 01:01:00,456
I've been over in Thailand, Helena.
682
01:01:00,448 --> 01:01:03,543
Michael came to tell me about Dad.
683
01:01:07,247 --> 01:01:09,090
He was attacked for no reason.
684
01:01:09,082 --> 01:01:12,677
There was a scanner there
who I think was responsible.
685
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,388
Scanner?
686
01:01:15,380 --> 01:01:17,633
Something must have set him off.
687
01:01:17,632 --> 01:01:19,475
It wasn't like that.
688
01:01:20,844 --> 01:01:23,768
It was deliberate, calculated,
cold-blooded murder.
689
01:01:23,763 --> 01:01:27,267
Why would anyone want to kill Michael?
690
01:01:29,269 --> 01:01:31,488
I was hoping you'd be able to tell me.
691
01:01:31,479 --> 01:01:34,323
I've been living in a monastery
for two years.
692
01:01:34,316 --> 01:01:37,115
Suddenly Dad's dead, Michael's dead and...
693
01:01:38,278 --> 01:01:40,656
...and you've taken over here.
694
01:01:43,241 --> 01:01:44,663
What's with the...
695
01:01:44,659 --> 01:01:48,129
- scan signal on video, Helena?
- That!
696
01:01:49,289 --> 01:01:51,542
I was just playing around, Alex.
697
01:01:51,541 --> 01:01:52,793
You were burning cigars?
698
01:01:54,336 --> 01:01:57,931
Michael said he was concerned about you,
said you were taking a new drug.
699
01:01:57,923 --> 01:02:00,642
Miss Monet, your car is waiting
700
01:02:00,634 --> 01:02:02,887
for your 10.30 at ASN.
701
01:02:04,429 --> 01:02:06,227
Thank you, George. I'm on my way.
702
01:02:06,223 --> 01:02:10,729
I'm sorry. I have a meeting
with our Japanese affiliates.
703
01:02:17,025 --> 01:02:20,825
Look, there is a drug, it's true.
704
01:02:20,820 --> 01:02:22,663
EPH-S.
705
01:02:22,656 --> 01:02:24,750
Dad invented it.
706
01:02:24,741 --> 01:02:29,212
It's for scanners,
completely relieving their pain
707
01:02:29,204 --> 01:02:33,334
but I don't know what Michael was
talking about - it's a miracle drug.
708
01:02:33,333 --> 01:02:35,882
Ask Joyce if you don't believe me.
709
01:02:38,046 --> 01:02:39,923
Joyce is involved?
710
01:02:39,923 --> 01:02:44,019
Yes, she's up at Baumann. They're doing
wonderful things for scanners.
711
01:02:44,010 --> 01:02:46,229
The place has changed so much.
712
01:02:46,221 --> 01:02:48,394
Go and see for yourself.
713
01:02:49,683 --> 01:02:51,936
I think Joyce would love to see you.
715
01:03:21,172 --> 01:03:24,517
Dr Baumann is unavailable.
May I take a message?
716
01:03:26,094 --> 01:03:28,563
Ah yes, thank you.
717
01:03:32,225 --> 01:03:33,977
I can help you.
718
01:03:34,978 --> 01:03:36,104
Hi.
719
01:03:36,104 --> 01:03:38,527
I'm looking for Joyce Stone.
720
01:03:38,523 --> 01:03:40,196
Tell her it's Alex Monet.
721
01:03:40,191 --> 01:03:42,569
Of course, sir
722
01:03:42,569 --> 01:03:44,913
If you just follow me.
723
01:03:51,619 --> 01:03:56,500
I think you'll find what you're looking
for right in here.
725
01:04:07,969 --> 01:04:09,437
Um...
726
01:04:09,429 --> 01:04:11,773
- Miss...
- Susie.
727
01:04:11,765 --> 01:04:13,938
Susie. Susie, look...
728
01:04:15,060 --> 01:04:18,189
I don't think this is a good idea.
See, I...
729
01:04:19,272 --> 01:04:20,945
I live in a monastery.
730
01:04:21,983 --> 01:04:26,159
Well, this'll give you something
to think about
731
01:04:26,154 --> 01:04:28,498
when you lay in bed...
732
01:04:29,783 --> 01:04:31,956
...alone in the dark...
733
01:04:31,951 --> 01:04:37,003
doing whatever it is you do.
734
01:04:38,249 --> 01:04:40,343
Where's Dr Stone?
735
01:04:40,335 --> 01:04:42,258
She's been detained
736
01:04:42,253 --> 01:04:47,384
but I'm here to take care
of your every need.
737
01:04:51,221 --> 01:04:54,020
- Can you keep a secret?
- Yeah.
738
01:04:54,015 --> 01:04:55,437
They're not real.
740
01:04:59,854 --> 01:05:04,781
Well, well, well, well, well, well.
What do we have here?
741
01:05:04,776 --> 01:05:07,404
Boys, I think we've got us a rapist.
742
01:05:07,404 --> 01:05:10,624
Oh, come on, Mitch, he was willing.
743
01:05:10,615 --> 01:05:15,621
Not you, nimbo-bimbo. Him.
744
01:05:15,620 --> 01:05:17,213
- Me?
- Mm.
745
01:05:17,205 --> 01:05:19,503
What's going on around here?
746
01:05:26,589 --> 01:05:28,887
- And what?
- Well, let me explain.
747
01:05:28,883 --> 01:05:32,558
This is the breakdown of the analysis
of the EPH-3 prototype.
748
01:05:32,554 --> 01:05:37,401
Peroxide hydrochloride, cyanocobalamin,
cupric oxide.
749
01:05:37,392 --> 01:05:39,815
- I know that. And so?
- So nothing.
750
01:05:39,811 --> 01:05:43,315
It's inert. You might as well be taking
vitamin pills, Helena.
751
01:05:43,314 --> 01:05:45,988
You must have missed something.
752
01:05:45,984 --> 01:05:49,113
Well, we're running it through again
but I don't think so.
753
01:05:50,321 --> 01:05:53,245
If there is anything I can do to help.
754
01:05:54,784 --> 01:05:57,537
I know.
755
01:05:58,580 --> 01:06:00,833
I'll look through Dad's videotape.
756
01:06:00,832 --> 01:06:02,675
See if I can find something there.
757
01:06:02,667 --> 01:06:04,669
- Wake up, pal.
- Guard the door.
758
01:06:04,669 --> 01:06:08,219
Taking a little stroll down memory lane.
759
01:06:10,341 --> 01:06:12,184
Oh come on! Come on!
760
01:06:17,682 --> 01:06:20,310
Nothing like a taste of
Baumann's laser therapy
761
01:06:20,310 --> 01:06:23,439
to teach a guy to keep his hands off
the staff, huh, Mitch?
762
01:06:24,772 --> 01:06:27,946
Wake up, Romeo.
We want to show you our new toy.
763
01:06:35,408 --> 01:06:36,660
Agh!
767
01:07:37,804 --> 01:07:40,432
Quick! Get around the back door.
768
01:07:42,934 --> 01:07:44,732
Get in the bus.
769
01:07:48,022 --> 01:07:50,901
Come on! Come on!
The creep's getting away.
770
01:08:41,534 --> 01:08:43,161
Faster! Faster!
772
01:09:20,740 --> 01:09:22,834
I think I got him.
773
01:09:22,825 --> 01:09:24,293
Can you swim?
774
01:09:25,578 --> 01:09:28,798
Better safe than sorry. Go check.
777
01:10:41,112 --> 01:10:42,455
Alex?
778
01:10:48,619 --> 01:10:50,041
Jesus!
779
01:10:50,037 --> 01:10:52,665
What's happened to you?
780
01:10:58,337 --> 01:11:01,637
I'm...not sure you're going to believe it.
781
01:11:03,176 --> 01:11:04,928
I'm still not sure I do.
782
01:11:10,475 --> 01:11:12,273
What is it?
783
01:11:12,268 --> 01:11:13,861
'Can
784
01:11:17,315 --> 01:11:18,908
I had to kill a man today.
785
01:11:23,529 --> 01:11:25,748
I just got back this morning.
786
01:11:25,740 --> 01:11:29,335
I wanted to see you so
I went out to Baumann.
787
01:11:29,327 --> 01:11:31,500
Baumann? Why?
788
01:11:31,496 --> 01:11:34,750
Cos Helena told me that
you would be there.
789
01:11:34,749 --> 01:11:36,968
But it was a trap.
790
01:11:36,959 --> 01:11:39,963
She sent me out there deliberately.
791
01:11:39,962 --> 01:11:44,718
A group of scanners attacked me.
792
01:11:44,717 --> 01:11:46,219
That's impossible.
793
01:11:46,219 --> 01:11:47,971
She's your sister.
794
01:11:49,347 --> 01:11:51,315
She's my best friend.
795
01:11:55,686 --> 01:11:57,563
She's changed.
796
01:12:04,278 --> 01:12:05,450
Joyce...
797
01:12:05,446 --> 01:12:10,919
can you tell me anything about
this new drug she's taking?
798
01:12:10,910 --> 01:12:13,880
EPH-3. Your dad developed it.
799
01:12:13,871 --> 01:12:17,921
Are you sure there's no side effects
of that drug?
800
01:12:17,917 --> 01:12:20,466
I never saw the test results.
801
01:12:20,461 --> 01:12:22,429
Helena said it herself.
802
01:12:22,421 --> 01:12:26,392
I just believed her when she told me
there were no side effects.
803
01:12:28,261 --> 01:12:30,059
Maybe there are.
804
01:12:30,054 --> 01:12:31,556
The way she's been acting.
805
01:12:31,556 --> 01:12:35,436
I think it's somehow blocked out
her conscience.
806
01:12:38,646 --> 01:12:42,401
Especially with scanners, Joyce.
That can be a very dangerous thing.
807
01:12:44,068 --> 01:12:46,036
It's hard to explain.
808
01:12:46,028 --> 01:12:47,575
But when a...
809
01:12:47,572 --> 01:12:50,291
When a scanner loses control...
810
01:12:51,617 --> 01:12:53,995
...there are these forces,
811
01:12:53,995 --> 01:12:57,249
strange feelings inside that...
812
01:12:57,248 --> 01:12:58,966
It's almost like a rage.
813
01:13:00,293 --> 01:13:05,390
It just builds and builds and builds
and builds inside you.
814
01:13:07,717 --> 01:13:09,640
Is there, Alex?
815
01:13:09,635 --> 01:13:12,764
Is that what you were afraid of?
816
01:13:13,931 --> 01:13:16,525
Is that why you ran away?
817
01:13:22,106 --> 01:13:26,077
Exterior application is necessitated.
818
01:13:26,068 --> 01:13:27,866
Now, I have with me
819
01:13:27,862 --> 01:13:32,288
a rough prototype skin patch, which...
Oh shit!
820
01:13:32,283 --> 01:13:37,414
Pardon me for using such
highly technical language.
821
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:43,298
Which... Oh shit!
822
01:13:45,171 --> 01:13:49,347
Pardon me for using such highly
technical language.
823
01:13:55,848 --> 01:14:02,697
Ah! This is continuation of lab report
October 17th 1990.
824
01:14:02,688 --> 01:14:05,658
Daddy, what have I done?
825
01:14:05,650 --> 01:14:09,996
In order to isolate...
828
01:14:47,274 --> 01:14:53,748
Most important, E.P.H.3, or as we call it,
EPH-3, remains inactive
829
01:14:53,739 --> 01:14:57,664
until the electronic sensor is triggered
830
01:14:57,660 --> 01:15:03,008
by trace molecular elements
found only in scanner subjects.
831
01:15:02,999 --> 01:15:05,252
Bingo!
832
01:15:05,251 --> 01:15:07,128
Now I'm going to turn this off.
833
01:15:09,505 --> 01:15:12,850
- Alex.
- Mm-hm.
834
01:15:12,842 --> 01:15:16,472
I've been thinking about what you said
about Helena.
835
01:15:21,600 --> 01:15:24,479
Is that what you've been thinking about?
836
01:15:24,478 --> 01:15:26,321
Seriously.
837
01:15:27,940 --> 01:15:32,070
I think I'm going to go down to the office
and see what I can find out.
838
01:15:33,362 --> 01:15:34,705
Mm.
839
01:15:34,697 --> 01:15:36,870
Are you listening to me?
840
01:15:40,202 --> 01:15:41,419
No.
841
01:15:41,412 --> 01:15:43,756
No, I didn't think so.
844
01:17:41,073 --> 01:17:42,541
Hi there!
846
01:18:34,376 --> 01:18:36,970
Go! He's going around the other side.
848
01:19:20,172 --> 01:19:22,345
I hate this bloody city.
849
01:19:51,287 --> 01:19:53,005
I really hate this city.
850
01:20:04,842 --> 01:20:06,515
Interesting reading?
851
01:20:06,510 --> 01:20:11,641
It's nice to see my employees in bright
and early snooping through my office.
852
01:20:13,100 --> 01:20:15,148
Speaking of eager beavers,
853
01:20:15,144 --> 01:20:19,695
I hear you and Alex had
a very tender reunion.
854
01:20:20,733 --> 01:20:22,610
Helena, what have you done?
855
01:20:22,609 --> 01:20:26,079
You're such an innocent, such a prude.
856
01:20:26,071 --> 01:20:28,165
I'll tell you what I've done.
857
01:20:28,157 --> 01:20:29,625
I've come into my own.
858
01:20:29,616 --> 01:20:34,167
I've finally gotten the power
I've always deserved.
859
01:20:34,163 --> 01:20:37,508
By the way, while you were
making whoopie...
860
01:20:39,293 --> 01:20:41,921
...I was making history.
861
01:20:43,547 --> 01:20:44,764
Yep.
862
01:20:44,757 --> 01:20:47,226
I cracked the code, Joyce.
863
01:20:47,217 --> 01:20:52,565
Seems like poor old Dad just forgot
to mention that the missing element
864
01:20:52,556 --> 01:20:55,935
is only to be found
865
01:20:55,934 --> 01:20:58,153
in bodily secretions...
866
01:20:59,438 --> 01:21:02,783
...of the scanners' metabolic type.
867
01:21:02,775 --> 01:21:06,621
Helena, please listen to me.
868
01:21:06,612 --> 01:21:10,788
You've got to stop taking the drug.
869
01:21:10,783 --> 01:21:13,832
Psychological side effects
could be devastating.
870
01:21:15,037 --> 01:21:16,960
- You think so?
- Yes.
871
01:21:16,955 --> 01:21:19,378
This isn't you, Helena.
You're not normal.
872
01:21:25,464 --> 01:21:27,011
You can say that again.
873
01:21:28,217 --> 01:21:30,265
You're not normal.
874
01:21:30,260 --> 01:21:32,137
That's better.
875
01:21:49,613 --> 01:21:53,208
I wanted to get you between the sheets...
876
01:21:54,660 --> 01:21:57,163
...but this is ridiculous.
877
01:21:58,789 --> 01:22:00,086
Oh well.
878
01:22:01,166 --> 01:22:03,089
Easy come, easy go.
879
01:22:05,421 --> 01:22:06,968
Oops!
880
01:22:08,799 --> 01:22:12,724
Good night, sweet prince.
881
01:22:16,140 --> 01:22:17,437
Who are you?
882
01:22:17,433 --> 01:22:20,812
I'm...temporary.
883
01:22:20,811 --> 01:22:24,816
Not too temporary, I hope.
884
01:22:27,359 --> 01:22:30,659
Say, after I've finished with my rounds...
885
01:22:30,654 --> 01:22:33,874
I can't wait.
886
01:22:34,908 --> 01:22:36,251
Neither can I.
887
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:41,215
Now that you can control your breath...
889
01:22:44,626 --> 01:22:50,349
...you learn to control your heart.
891
01:22:53,844 --> 01:22:55,266
Jesus!
892
01:22:55,262 --> 01:22:57,685
We've got a code blue! Move it!
893
01:22:57,681 --> 01:23:00,275
Well, don't just stand there. Prep him.
894
01:23:04,855 --> 01:23:06,277
Nothing.
895
01:23:06,273 --> 01:23:08,901
OK, let's try and jump star':
the poor bastard.
896
01:23:08,901 --> 01:23:10,699
- Clear.
- Clear.
897
01:23:12,237 --> 01:23:14,160
- Nothing.
- Clear.
898
01:23:14,156 --> 01:23:15,908
Clear.
899
01:23:17,701 --> 01:23:19,703
Oh, there's nothing, doctor.
900
01:23:23,207 --> 01:23:26,757
Mark the time and take him down
for an autopsy.
902
01:24:42,703 --> 01:24:44,831
Mind if I use your phone?
903
01:24:44,830 --> 01:24:46,582
Is it a...
904
01:24:46,582 --> 01:24:49,927
Is it a...a...a local call?
905
01:24:49,918 --> 01:24:53,343
I've got total control over Worldwide
Satellite Network
906
01:24:53,338 --> 01:24:55,261
and EPH-3 in full production.
907
01:24:55,257 --> 01:24:58,511
Now let's go on the air
and take over the world.
908
01:24:58,510 --> 01:25:02,231
Scanners are in control,
thanks to you, Joyce.
909
01:25:02,222 --> 01:25:04,099
My job was simple.
910
01:25:04,099 --> 01:25:05,851
By the way, how are you feeling?
911
01:25:05,851 --> 01:25:08,229
I have never felt better in my life, Helena.
912
01:25:08,228 --> 01:25:11,277
That's good because it's show time.
914
01:25:29,416 --> 01:25:31,714
Come on, Joyce, answer the phone.
915
01:25:48,602 --> 01:25:52,072
He's fading back long and there's the pass.
916
01:25:52,064 --> 01:25:56,820
Oh, look at that!
He's cut down on the 45-yard line.
917
01:25:56,818 --> 01:25:59,617
Joyce Stone, I need to see her.
918
01:25:59,613 --> 01:26:00,910
Now.
919
01:26:05,452 --> 01:26:06,954
I don't know where she is.
920
01:26:06,953 --> 01:26:10,583
- Where did she take her?
- I don't know.
921
01:26:10,582 --> 01:26:12,835
Enjoy the game, Ms Monet.
922
01:26:12,834 --> 01:26:18,182
The Unstoppable Force, with this year's
highest points per game average,
923
01:26:18,173 --> 01:26:20,892
going head to head with immovable Objects.
924
01:26:20,884 --> 01:26:25,560
ASN is bringing all the excitement
and action of pro football
925
01:26:25,555 --> 01:26:27,978
to an additional 25 countries.
926
01:26:27,974 --> 01:26:30,523
And now back to you, Jim.
927
01:26:30,519 --> 01:26:33,819
Right, Miss Monet.
It's two and ten on the 45.
928
01:26:33,814 --> 01:26:37,614
And there's the snap back. Oh!...
929
01:26:37,609 --> 01:26:44,117
And Jim, I think I can guarantee that
our estimated 75 million viewers
930
01:26:44,116 --> 01:26:46,744
have a big thrill in store for them, right?
931
01:26:46,743 --> 01:26:49,417
Right, Miss Monet.
Now, let's get back to the playing field.
932
01:26:49,413 --> 01:26:52,633
It's third down and ten to go
933
01:26:52,624 --> 01:26:58,882
and there's the snap, he's fading back
for the pass. Oh! He's going for it.
934
01:26:58,880 --> 01:27:02,259
Up to the 35, the 30,
could be going all the way.
935
01:27:10,100 --> 01:27:14,901
Like I said, Jim, a violent game.
936
01:27:30,537 --> 01:27:33,006
- Hey, man, what's going on?
- I don't know.
938
01:27:34,541 --> 01:27:37,294
There goes a doctor onto the field.
940
01:27:44,676 --> 01:27:48,271
But first let's take another look
with ASN's isocam.
941
01:27:48,263 --> 01:27:50,357
Wow, talk about special effects!
942
01:28:16,041 --> 01:28:20,296
You will obey without hesitation
943
01:28:20,295 --> 01:28:23,174
my every command.
944
01:28:38,188 --> 01:28:40,486
And you will serve,
945
01:28:40,482 --> 01:28:44,612
united by a glorious common goal,
946
01:28:44,611 --> 01:28:46,659
me.
947
01:28:46,655 --> 01:28:51,707
Beyond which there is no higher authority.
948
01:28:51,701 --> 01:28:57,083
Yes, because from this moment on
949
01:28:57,082 --> 01:29:00,882
you are mine, body and soul
950
01:29:00,877 --> 01:29:03,255
till death do us part.
951
01:29:22,607 --> 01:29:25,702
Nothing can stop us now.
952
01:29:25,694 --> 01:29:27,412
Resistance is impossible.
953
01:29:27,404 --> 01:29:32,035
It is a new world order
954
01:29:32,033 --> 01:29:35,207
and we are in control.
955
01:29:38,164 --> 01:29:40,383
Come on, Joyce, gonna get you out.
956
01:29:42,127 --> 01:29:44,380
That wouldn't be a very good idea, Alex.
957
01:29:44,379 --> 01:29:48,259
Wouldn't want you to ruin everything
we've been working so hard for.
958
01:29:53,763 --> 01:29:55,106
Agh!
959
01:30:11,364 --> 01:30:13,708
Get him!
960
01:30:25,086 --> 01:30:27,339
Look, Joyce, I gotta go back.
962
01:30:31,968 --> 01:30:35,848
Excuse me, but nobody leaves
until after intermission
963
01:30:35,847 --> 01:30:39,568
so get your popcorn, get back to
your seats and get ready for Act Two.
964
01:30:47,525 --> 01:30:49,448
Are you ready for the second act?
965
01:30:50,528 --> 01:30:52,201
I'll give you the second act.
966
01:31:29,901 --> 01:31:31,528
Helena!
967
01:31:32,779 --> 01:31:35,908
You meddlesome little twerp.
968
01:31:49,004 --> 01:31:53,680
Sweet, sweet revenge.
969
01:31:53,675 --> 01:31:57,851
A dish best savored cold.
970
01:31:57,846 --> 01:32:00,941
But some like it hot.
971
01:32:00,932 --> 01:32:05,733
It's gonna get a hell of a lot hotter
before I'm through.
972
01:32:07,147 --> 01:32:09,024
Give it a rest, Helena.
973
01:32:11,985 --> 01:32:15,580
You always wanted to hog my glory,
didn't you?
974
01:32:15,572 --> 01:32:17,950
I never wanted your glory, Helena.
975
01:32:24,122 --> 01:32:25,590
I never did.

01:34:15,984 --> 01:34:20,990
