um

ever have to go to a gym i don't have to go you see they're exactly 128 steps to

the underground lab and down twice a day would equal jogging about uh two miles i

guess exclude sundays and holidays that would be exactly don't tell me i've had

more truth than i can manage lately you mean the additions to the program yes i

didn't ask for those additions well who did roth i suppose well what's on the

menu for today the four subjects roth's finally made his decision

General's office.

Internal security here. Put me through to the general immediately.

Yes? Let's go to scramble, sir.

Go ahead. What's the trouble?

Someone has broken into the top secret files.

You know what's missing?

Two things, sir.

The brain machine file and Dr. Krishna's project file.

Then it's probably Kristner.

Nobody else would connect those two files.

If it is Kristner, he knows that his project is nothing more than a guinea

pig to test the brain machine.

How do you want me to handle this? Get Kristner.

I'll have Saxon and his men secure the grounds and send my car. I'm coming

back.

We've got all this truth business programmed and punishment for the

subjects if they tell a lie, but how are we going to know if they tell the truth?

Don't ask me, love.

If we get the money to do what we want to do, then we have to do some of the

things the Arabs want done.

Why don't you give me a quick rundown on our four lucky winners?

Okay, there's four out of 147 applicants, so they ought to be what we

need.

Minnie Lee Parks, age 22.

Birthplace, Tennessee.

One year of college.

Rated low academically.

Single. no previous marriage no immediate family kind of cute kind of

dumb just my type well she is judd

reeves age 31 born in pennsylvania truck driver bartender carpenter well

he's versatile army service honorable discharge no immediate family think he's

kind of cute too

Emory Neal, age 44.

Postgraduate work in seminary.

Contributing editor to various religious publications.

Serious automobile accident two years ago.

No immediate family.

Willard West, age 26.

Father, medical doctor. Mother, PhD in literature.

IQ above 150.

Star athlete in high school.

Held no permanent position and traveled since graduation from college five years

ago.

Inherited large estate when both parents were killed in a plane crash.

No immediate family.

Okay, if you'll get the lights, we'll start programming our subjects.

What's all that about?

Dr. Christner.

Sam, I think maybe you better cover the trace road.

Here he comes.

Keep moving.

Have you got enough men out there to stop Christmas?

I don't see how he can get away now, sir. What happened?

Must have discovered our plans for his project.

That's all I can figure.

Saxon, get those files. I don't care what it takes.

Yes, sir.

Mobile 3 out.

I've spotted him. He's at the end of the trace road.

Send the chief to my office and call Washington. Tell the senator we've had

an emergency. I'll be in touch with him as soon as I can.

Take the general's briefcase inside.

Yes, sir?

The general wants the chief. He points him on the double in his office.

Can we tie in on schedule?

We can, but not without problems.

What problems?

Failsafe.

It's a specially designed system.

We can't bypass it.

There's no problem if it's not activated.

But if it is activated, the computers take complete control of both projects,

the EBOX and CIC.

In my opinion sir, that's a very big risk.

Doctor Roth's office. Sorry, wrong number.

Mr. Saxon to see you, sir.

Send him in.

Yes, sir.

Were all the documents in Chrisner's briefcase?

The documents are all here, sir.

What about Dr. Chrisner? I've already got the right team on Chrisner. They'll

take care of him.

Yes.

But you don't understand.

I've got to reach the senator.

Is there any way I... No.

No, I'll call him later.

My secretary received a phone call.

Krisner was trying to reach me.

Krisner tried to reach you? When?

This morning.

Do you know where he is?

He knows my work on the Environmental Committee, but I hope to God he doesn't

tie me in with this.

Frankly, I'm concerned now whether we should stop the brain machine tests.

No, we shouldn't stop anything, Senator.

We're changing to our standby project, Dr. Roth.

Well, do you think Roth suspects anything?

No, he thinks his project was set up by the Environmental Committee.

Then he doesn't tie you in in any way.

Will this change mean you'll need more funds?

Roth will, but we've got enough to handle it.

Good.

You know, I'm sticking my neck out a long way, General, because I believe

this country is riddled with enemies, inside and outside.

Your machine may be the only defense.

I certainly hope so, sir. You know, it's not vigilance anymore, General.

It's surveillance.

Eternal surveillance is the price of liberty.

That's why I'm willing to go all the way with you. Thank you, Senator.

Senator, what I am about to

write you is more

horrible

General's office.

Yes? Chrisner's dead, sir.

Yes, sir. Fill out a special administrative transfer for Dr.

Chrisner. He's been transferred.

And send a memo of this to all personnel at ECC.

Mr. Saxon to see you, sir.

I'll be there shortly.

This matter is closed.

You take care of this.

We simply can't go with this project, sir. The subjects are all wrong for us.

They're totally programmed for environmental research.

You said yourself that it was dangerous.

Otherwise, we would never have selected Christner's project.

We're going with Roth.

But that's impossible, sir. It won't work.

Make it work.

Welcome to the Environmental Control Center.

You have a copy of regulations.

Three things you must memorize.

One, you are a member of a team.

Two, you have access only to the E wing. You must not enter the area of other

projects.

You received the name tag, which you will wear at all times.

You will not wear this in the E box.

Three,

truth is the most vital aspect.

Now, this program for which you have volunteered... You mean the whole truth?

Yes. About everything?

Yes.

Golly.

This experiment is going to get an X rating.

Okay. Okay, calm down.

Our study is one of survival.

You have volunteered to be a part of something of vital importance.

The scientific study of man and his environment.

Are there any questions?

Uh, yeah.

You said volunteered.

I, uh, I thought it was being paid.

You're right, Mr. Reeves. You are a paid volunteer.

We've accepted only people with no immediate family. Because there is less

chance for embarrassment over confidential matters.

And we must have the truth.

All of it.

Not part.

I believe you know my assistant, Dr. Portland.

Excuse me, Dr. Roth, but there's an urgent call.

Saxon Research Control.

Saxon. It's a call I've been waiting for. My request for... Excuse me.

I'll be in just a moment.

Saxon. Roth.

How have you been?

Fine, Dr. Roth. And you?

Waiting for your call.

We're almost ready.

Yes.

is interested in some very big people. Well, I'm glad to hear about that. These

people would like some cooperation from you.

But I thought it was understood that I was to be left alone until I could

report my complete findings.

Yes, I know. I told them that, but they insisted.

Tell them my answer is no.

I'd think twice before I'd give that answer, Roth.

You need funds. I have your requisition right here in front of me now.

Don't tie my hands.

You know damn well why I'm out of funds.

These people have power. They're not afraid to use it.

The truth is, you know where they've got me.

You said it, I didn't.

Ugly.

Fine.

Music.

Woman.

Don't question your responses. Just relax and respond freely.

Well, it doesn't make sense.

Please, Father Neil.

Not Father.

Not Father.

I'm sorry, Reverend.

Are you all right?

Yes. You were recalling something vividly. Was it pleasant or painful?

Both.

Let's try the screen again.

Woman.

I thought it. I tried not to say it.

I'm going to let Dr.

Roth take over at this point.

I just want to see what he thinks.

Aren't you...

considerably more comfortable with Dr. Roth.

Where is Roth?

Where is Roth?

Where's Ralph?

He's in accounting.

But I definitely would not disturb him right now.

New funds?

I think he's got them.

Would you take over the interview with Reverend Neal?

Why? What's wrong?

He's uptight about something.

We've really selected some strange subjects.

Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you general I Know you have a lot on your

mind sir.

Give me your weapon

If

you wanted to protect yourself which weapon would you choose

That's

P-38.

I take it, you know.

Take it.

Now take a closer look at this.

A very clever bugging device.

Testing one, two, three.

I think I changed my mind.

I'd rather have this.

In certain situations, things like this can be real effective.

That's the correct weapon, all right.

But at best, it's only 1% effective.

If you really want to know your enemy, you've got to know what he's thinking,

not what he's saying.

If I could hear the music I heard when I was young, I wouldn't be out of step.

Are you quoting someone?

Yes.

Who?

Myself.

One of my sermons.

Do you feel you're out of step?

Yes.

Here or everywhere?

If it's myself, then it's everywhere.

Are you trying to get back?

I, uh... I suppose so.

I... I don't know. I, uh... Maybe that's why I applied.

I, uh... At times you have a speech impediment.

Yes.

This impediment, this, uh...

Hesitation. Is it from childhood?

I don't know what it was. I can't explain it. I just don't know. Maybe

God knows. I don't.

Doctor,

I don't think I'd better go on with this. I don't think I'm a good subject.

I thought that it was going to be different. I'm not a good subject.

On the contrary, you're excellent, if not perfect.

Thank you.

Doctor, may I ask you a question?

Yeah, it's your time.

Do you ever pray?

Often in my own way.

Why?

Well, I guess I don't want to take any unnecessary chances.

Our attitude on that matter is fairly close.

What is my attitude?

You know man exists.

And you believe God exists.

But you're not sure which one created the other.

Roth knows something that Mars doesn't know.

Anyway, in the land of the blind, a one-eyed man's a king.

Nuts? Nothing.

What the hell?

Minnie Lee!

What's wrong, Minnie Lee? What happened?

Someone was here, in my room.

He was trying to feel...

What the... What's all the racket? I don't know.

What is it?

I thought I heard someone screaming. I heard something.

I want a lock on my door.

I want a lock.

Okay.

You go back to sleep now.

Oh, please, please don't go.

Please don't leave me.

Just lay there and go back to sleep.

Don't wake up, Dr. Roth.

She's had a nightmare, that's all.

I understand.

Is everything all right? Is there anything we can do?

Did any of you hear anything before she screamed?

No. No sleeping.

Was she all right?

Maybe there's something I could do to help.

No, Dr. Portland's with her right now. She just had a nightmare, that's all.

You gentlemen can go back to sleep.

It's nothing.

Good night.

Why did you lie, Reeves?

I didn't lie.

You lied, Reeves.

What is the one word we've tried to impress upon you?

What one word?

Truth. Say it again.

Truth.

You've never been in jail?

You have a police record.

You've also been in a reform school.

What about the army?

The, um... The army?

You're a troublemaker there, too.

What do you think we are, incompetent?

You don't think we check things out?

The truth, Reeves.

Absolute accuracy.

One lie can cause us a lot of trouble.

Look, I didn't lie exactly.

I was put inside a jail.

But when I said I was never in jail, it was because I didn't do nothing.

I was innocent.

Have you ever been booked for theft?

I never stole nothing in my life.

But food.

And that's not stealing if you're hungry enough.

You're dismissed from the project.

You've got to let me do this.

Please.

What you may have done in your life is of no great matter to us.

The truth is everything.

Everything. Now, do you completely understand this?

Yeah.

Are you pleased?

Well, I'm satisfied with old Ross's.

Well, that's another change of D-Day. No, not necessarily. It just means we're

going to go through every checkpoint and every phase again.

What's bothering him?

Everything.

That's impossible.

This place gives me the all-overs.

Doctors running around like a chicken with its head cut off.

And last night, I know I wasn't dreaming.

And these guards, they make me think of tombstones.

It's like we were going to be buried or something.

Not like we were.

As if we were.

A like is never followed by a complete predication.

You better not let me in your room alone, because I wouldn't just be

touching you.

And when I left, you wouldn't be screaming.

You'd just smile.

A big smile.

You shut your filthy mouth, Judd Reeves. I'll second that. Leave her alone,

Reeves. And who's going to make me?

You?

Violence. Sweet violence, huh, human?

You both stop it.

The impulse scale.

This is where the real danger lies.

Feeding impulses into the upper and lower cortex of the brain can be

dangerous.

Carol, you'll be in there all soon.

You're vulnerable.

Biofeedback training will help me.

The others.

Well, that's why we're experimenting.

Like another redaction of impulse feed on all stages?

Yes, if you don't mind.

Carol, get my phase three impulse breakdowns.

Come on, Des.

Yes, sir?

Are we ready to test the first patch in?

We need more time, sir. I'm still worried about the fail-safe circuits.

We can try it if you say so.

Then try it.

What the hell?

Go to standby.

Stand by.

Not responding.

Check sections E.

Sections E circuits, not responding.

Well, don't just stand there, Dr. Portland. Call engineering.

dr roth's office this is williams engineering hold on

engineering yes we've checked out all the circuits in e-cell

everything seems to be okay i'm going over next to

hold on just a second i think i've run across something

he's found something

How'd you know where it was?

The computer shut down again and we had an accident.

I'll be right there.

What happened?

An accident.

Who was it?

One of the men from electrical engineering.

He was checking the circuits.

He found something.

Good.

Today's the first time I ever yelled at you.

I know.

How long did it take for you to forgive me?

A few minutes or an hour or... or have you forgiven me?

I forgave you before it ever happened.

Yes. Do you like trees?

Woods?

No, I don't know.

Yeah, I guess so.

I mean, I'm not in love with them.

Not like my father.

My father really loved trees.

He liked the woods, the shadows, walking.

First thing I clearly remember is a tree.

It was enormous.

And my father was leaning back against it.

His eyes were closed.

Geez, I was like four.

What kind of tree?

I don't remember. I don't remember anything about it except the trunk, how

big it was.

The bark was smooth like a poplar.

It was too dark for a poplar.

He had given me a knife, and I remember opening it, but I didn't cut on that

tree.

I just stood there and thought about how long it would take me to cut it down

with that knife.

I clearly remember thinking that... Did you get along well with your parents?

Oh, my parents left me alone. I mean, when I wrote poetry, my mother didn't

sneak around and read it.

When I played football, my father didn't keep bragging to the world how good I

was.

Were you good at either one?

Sure, sometimes I was good at both.

Do you know anything about the brain?

Nope.

Your brain has strongest impulses of any subject we've tested.

Is that good or bad?

Neither one.

Nature doesn't make moral judgments.

It's simply the balance of the books.

I think.

We're losing it. The computers are overriding us.

Emergency. Emergency.

All sections.

About your father.

We're dead.

Quit. I've lost total power twice. Why?

Roth, I don't know. Could be anything.

We're checking it out.

You do that.

What the hell is going on, Roth?

I don't know.

But I intend to find out.

Computers have total control.

Control returning.

CIC's impulse is to normal.

It's up to them now. They have control.

Why do they have to keep asking all those personal questions?

To ascertain the truth, sweetheart.

Well, what's that got to do with pollution and population explosion?

You haven't been listening properly.

You see, the truth is everything.

Truth will clear the water, vanish the smog, lower the birth rate,

break down DDT and banish the world.

Dr. Roth didn't say all that.

Well, I can say all that.

Why did you volunteer?

I wanted to do something for my country.

You what?

I want...

to do something for my country well of course you did that's because you have

vision and where there is no vision the people perish

now each day in the e-box represent five years of

time now you've all been briefed on a number of problems discomforts and

possible dangers involved now the population explosion is going to be

simulated not by increasing the number of people in the box but by decreasing

the space the walls will actually move inward toward

the service module now certain pollutants will be added to the area

and noise levels will fluctuate with any questions

now we'll be doing many things we'll be

measuring the tiniest electrical impulses of your brain

And we'll be sending impulses back into the box.

You know, the magic of this computer enables us to formulate and insert into

this experiment calculations that would have taken many great minds many years

to perform.

This may look like a very simple device.

However, that's not the case.

Now, Dr. Portland has taken this very simple device and developed for this

project an impulse sensor.

which conducts to the computer every vital function of your body, like blood

pressure, heartbeat, and so on.

As you know, Dr. Portland will be instructing you on rest, sleep, and

exercise periods, all of which are very necessary.

Any questions?

Um, yeah.

When it's hooked up in there, is it ever going to shock us?

You shouldn't feel a thing.

Dr. Morris, I've changed my mind.

I don't want to go.

Why?

It's, uh... It's just that I, uh... I'd feel lost without my collar.

Dr. Roth?

I think we can make an exception in this case.

Thank you.

They're ready to go into the E-box, General.

Good.

now, sir.

Stand by.

As all of you know in your briefings, this safety device is simple.

In the face of any emergency, anyone can just break the glass.

That's all there is to it.

Simple.

But I'd like to underscore in your minds that the consequences can be far

-reaching.

And out of a major matter,

This experiment will be immediately aborted.

It's a minor matter that you will receive no further money.

How do you feel, Red?

Much better now.

Thank you.

Yes, sir. Begin stage one brain probe procedure.

Anything wrong? No, I'm all right.

I'm just not sleepy, I guess.

I was thinking.

About me?

About my granddaddy.

Somebody wrote a song about my granddaddy once.

It was a ballad, and it told the story about this man who was poor.

And he made a lot of money selling very little insurance.

And he bought this mortuary and a pair of alligator shoes, and you'd go

downtown and you'd meet these people who put him down like the banker, and you'd

say...

It's a computer. I don't quite understand it. It's... Roth's sleeping,

and if it isn't too important, I'd rather not wake him.

Well, go on. What is it?

Well, the computer's kicked out a question here on subject number one.

C-I-C-N-S-C-2-5.

It's a question of previous marriage, true or false.

What do you make of it?

Minnie Lee.

Our programming. She's number one.

Possibly impulse receiving.

Let's ask her.

Whatever you say. Should I get Ross?

No, you can follow it through. It seems routine to me.

Here she is now.

Did I do something?

No, Minnie Lee. Just routine.

Uh, Dr. Morris would like to ask you a question from the computer.

Do you mind?

I guess not.

Uh, Minnie Lee.

This is Dr. Morris.

Were you ever married?

No, Dr. Morris.

I told you that before.

I was never married.

It was an old...

He didn't know about the baby.

It was too late.

After it was annulled, he didn't know about the baby.

He wouldn't have had it annulled.

and all the baby, except by killing him.

And that's what I did.

And my daddy found out.

Portland? Yes?

We got another one.

Judd Reeves.

Who the hell do you think you are, man?

Morris? What is this, your version of truth or consequences?

I assure you, Mr. West, that this is in line with the program.

Dr. Morris is just following questions from the computer.

What do you mean, calling me a liar?

Judd, listen, if you're trying to brainwash me, man, you're crazy.

They tried that in the army and they couldn't beat nothing out of me.

Judd.

Merriman was killed.

He was killed, you scientific birdbrain.

You shove that up your computer, Morris.

Or just come down here and I'll shove it down your throat for you.

No.

I didn't kill him.

He killed himself!

Judd, calm down.

Listen, you just stay away from me, you scientific bitch.

All right, Judd, that's enough.

Oh, boy, Judd.

This is what I've been waiting for. Man, calm down.

Come on, Willie boy.

Come on.

You're not ashamed, are you?

Why should I be?

You know, Reverend, this God thing.

My husband says it. I was talking about a personal God.

Aren't you afraid God will strike you dead?

You sound like you don't believe in a personal God, do you?

No.

What? A minister?

And you don't believe in God?

I'm talking about a personal God.

Are you kidding me?

No, I'm not kidding you. One, two, three, four.

St. Peter only denied him three times.

I am speaking about a personal God.

He does not exist.

So let's just let him go at that, okay?

We'll find out just what's going on.

What have you done?

No one could know this about me.

I didn't mean to, I... Oh, not Brother Neo!

You can't do this to me.

Only God shall know my sins.

You're not God.

You can't do it to me. A man who dares

enter the infinite must be willing to suffer the consequence.

God's wrath shall fall on your head.

You and your kind.

I do not have to suffer this blasphemy. A

man has a right to hide his innermost

thoughts from mere mortal men.

God is my witness.

My sins are between God and me.

I don't have to put up with this.

I want out.

You hear?

I don't want out.

Saxon, you're killing these people.

You're going to kill them unless you open those doors.

Do you understand? I've lost all control.

This damn machine has gone berserk. The information you want is classified and

you're not cleared for national security control secrets.

Listen, you listen to me and you listen well.

Okay, Portland.

You get those fingers of yours punching on those buttons and get me out of here.

It's all right, Judd. It's all right. They'll get us out.

Not with my crummy luck, they won't.

I'm going to die and I know it. Take it easy.

The hell you say. I know I'm going to die and so are you.

Judd, we're not going to die. Not if we don't want to. It's that simple.

So it's dying.

Cerebral impulse converter.

It actually converts brain impulses into exact pictures of thought.

Audio and visual.

Jesus.

Mortality.

You stupid fools.

No man, no human ever believes they're going to die.

That's a question of faith.

That's... That's the paradox of mankind.

No one really believes they'll ever die.

Don't you understand?

Faith, human faith to a computer doesn't compute.

Yes.

We understand that.

Now, you made a mistake.

Let's get her down.

What? We've got to get her down.

Rowan.

It's Minnie Lee.

She just hanged herself.

You have answered one more question for science.

Has it been worth it?

Did you learn something?

Look at your truth.

Garrison here.

Seal off the E-Way.

Isolate. You're off in Saxon in the computer lab.

I'm coming over.

What? I am sorry, sir, but you've been confined to the computer room until

further notice.

Those people are dying down there, but we have our orders.

Orders?

Get out of my way!

I'm very sorry, sir, but if you go back into the room

now...

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

Jesus, cut that babbling.

He maketh me lie down in green pastures. Stop it.

Stop it, Merriman.

Needeth me beside distilled water.

Roland. Roland.

Don't answer me.

Shut up, Merriman.

He's losing it.

He thinks Reverend Neal is Lieutenant Merriman. Through the valley, the shadow

of death.

I will fear no evil. Do you hear me?

I'll kill you!

Roth, we've got to get those people out of there.

We've got to stop this.

We've got to stop it!

They'll notice my head with oil.

That's what you've been telling us, huh, Lieutenant?

We're all killing machines!

My cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me.

We're also all the dying machines!

And I shall walk alone in the house of the Lord. You're going to die first, you

bastard. Forever.

You're going to die first.

I'm going to kill you!

You listen to me, Roth.

And you listen good.

If he could break in that service module, we could get him out of there.

Service module.

You've got to get inside.

You've got to break into the service module.

Scientific bastard.

Come on.

Let's get to the hatch. We can break out that one. Let's go.

I'm sorry, sir, but we have orders not to let anyone out of this room. I'm

overriding those orders. But you don't have that authority.

What do you mean? I'm the head of this project. I order you to let us pass.

But my orders don't come from you or this project.

Don't move. Hold it. Hold it.

Don't let anybody move.

Kill me before I die.

She's down here.

What are we going to do about this, sir?

This won't be easy to cover up.

Winds reached a velocity of 80 miles per hour. The damage was estimated to be

more than $1 million.

And this just in, the National Environmental Control Center reports

that Dr. Roland Roth, world-famous authority on the human brain, was

electrocuted, along with six others, when a patient broke from an

experimental therapy area, ripped through a protective panel, and exposed

himself and the other victims to 500,000 volts of electricity.

Along with Dr. Roth, the dead include his two assistants, Dr. Carol Portland,

Dr. Elton Morris, three other patients, and Willard West, a patient who

apparently went berserk during a routine experiment, shouting, I can't die.

I am immortal.

I am God.

This is Cornel Wood. That's tonight's late news.

Good night.

That was a good news release, General.

Very effective.

How did you handle Saxon?

He was transferred.

Well, the machine works. That's the important thing.

And this is only the beginning.

But I suggest you get it out of there within the next 24 hours.

It'll be out.

And you understand, no matter what happens, I don't know about anything

except the environmental pet.
