hmm dr. Martin not now you're mapping

the facial muscle control regions right

have you finished

not quite I wonder why all right going

to the stacks get me two more class 3

class hurry yes sir right away

No

bercovich

well what not what who who fell one of

the specimens a class four I think

yeah I thought that we understood each

other people Vuckovich individuals mind

Souls every brain is a living record of

a life a journey taken

who knows what journey they're on now

mm-hmm now who fell Montag

Phillip Montague that's parietal

paralysis I think we're fairly well

covered on that area but still the place

just won't be the same without him

gather up what you can prepare a new

bottle 80% more gelatin and we'll see if

we can keep the old boy together yes sir

morning

stuff you can't house every little

floating thing oh yeah you don't say

feeling little suspicious persecuted

I see like somebody studying you or

observing right well that's correct

just remember how just because you're

paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to

get you

[Music]

are you alright dr. Martin oh nothing

that a little brain surgery couldn't

cure now where was I

oh that we suffer right or enjoy comes

from the brain in its condition whether

it's hot cold moist dry madness in

particular stems from its moistness

Hippocrates fourth century BC thanks

there but by the grace of God go I I was

just thinking that about you showboat

the universe is just a wet dream

by the perception of the illusion we

experience reality the inscrutable

professor bang ah see the liberal arts

course pays off after all

have you been drinking you always get

cryptic after you've been drinking it's

the only way I could keep my lunch down

I just spent the last hour and a half

being grilled by the chairman of a plate

of calamari funghi he says I'm not

people-oriented now what the hell is

that supposed to mean I don't know I'm

brain oriented and that doesn't seem to

have anything to do with people exactly

how would you know you're your own boss

you do your own work you married the

smartest prettiest girl in our class it

was me or you and you lost that's about

the only thing you ever lost now

I lost Halsey I lost that numbers [ __ ]

I'm probably gonna lose my job what are

you talking about

do you know lakeside yeah it's a mental

institution correct we own it oh you own

it the corporation is very diversified

interests from the tritium that feeds

the Rockets to the powdered milk that

feeds the babies we're Eunice all right

what about lakeside there's a patient

there former employee name of Halsey the

man was a genius but he lost it

butchered his family in clad in sanity

but some of the board members feel he

might be dissembling oh why would he

fake it Halsey wasn't exactly happy with

some of the applications his work might

be put to look baby he's just trying to

get out of it

the point is he's not he's not

responsible but I am responsible you see

Halsey was my baby so now I mean should

city with the Bourne and he's in a

rubber room totally paranoid

so this is what it's all about huh I

didn't know who else I could turn to I

mean nobody knows more about paranoia

than you you're the brain man for

Christ's sakes

I don't do corporate science I told you

that oh come on it's a favor to me would

you go to lakeside visit ward aid as for

Halsey I'm not a psychiatrist then run a

few tests see what you think

besides aren't you getting a little

tired of bottled brains here's one you

can have fresh

[Music]

thank you

mr. Halsey the confidence and you know

my wife send you know my lawyer know mr.

Halsey I didn't say it was Halsey

well I'm sorry you see I was not hold on

Clint no nor from your wife my wife

what's she do you how long have you

known Oh what do you mean sit down thank

you

I'm Halsey I've been expecting you

let's go somewhere where we can talk you

didn't trust me

I didn't trust her

and she didn't trust him you see yes go

on

smiling it pays me in cash right always

have son cackling pays cash checks if a

bank is and grifters but when I look I

don't see Ben Franklin no siree

I said calculon's greasy face smiling up

at me it was his way of spying on me for

this little face in my pocket and worse

much worse what he [ __ ] my wife right

there in the factory on the Perfect

Sleeper and that man is he's the

troublemaker

he's even followed me in here he's in

the hospital have you ever heard of

Eunice Corporation Eunice

that's my wife's name no this is a

corporation maybe you did some

mathematical work for them or something

I work with numbers sure but I work for

conference conference not resist I'm an

accountant neat little rows and columns

no equations equations are too messy you

get a few numbers left over and boom end

of the world as we know it

no I stick to a chance it's safer safer

are you familiar with the Hippocratic

oath doctors take it right but maybe

everybody should at least do no harm I

think that's a fine or rule

we can't all do good but at least I

dunno huh

mr. Halsey would you mind if I ran a few

tests on you

just make a few maps all simple all

completely painless would that be all

right this is a paid cash money no I'll

take it

well one thing's for sure Ali's not

faking oh really how do you know

look at these brain maps of three

certified paranoiacs see this green area

here yeah yeah that's the abnormality

that's the fly in the ointment if you

will and here's Halsey do that same

thing fantastic

how soon can you operate operate oh no

no this is all theoretical work okay I

need maybe two more years of lab work

and then two years of animal research

and then I think we might just chance

opening somebody Ivan got four years I

haven't even got four weeks why not just

cut it out

no no not you you open that door and you

step off a cliff it's awfully risky

especially for for Halsey Halsey was

working on something big

cornerstone technology that's all I can

tell you it's classified [ __ ] when

Halsey lost his marbles he destroyed his

results we need those numbers or we need

to make sure that nobody else will ever

get them

[Music]

you want him brain-dead who said

anything about brain-dead don't you

believe your own theories afraid to put

them to the test

no come on you can't stand there and

tell me you haven't dreamed of an

opportunity like this a living brain

thank

that's what you feel right about it

sorry Jim I'd rather not Oh for Christ's

sakes what you're thinking about Halsey

for a second and think about yourself

you see in a sense you already work for

unis unis he's so naive whose research

isn't corporate funded these days I mean

it's either us or the Department of

Defense that doesn't mean that you own

me don't you want to change the world

and get rich

what if Palsy refuses well Hall's is

really not in a position to choose and

nor am i oh don't be ridiculous look at

it this way it could be worse you could

be the patient and Halsey could be the

doctor

[Music]

it's got my brain

he's got my

that's my [ __ ] brain yes Oh

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

let's put the cages over here the

freezers along this wall over here

Oh Martin how embarrassing

Ellis sorry to hear about your grant I

think it's outrageous I mean whatever

happened to academic freedom bastard's

own us Rex mock stock and barrel you've

got guts I'll say that for you not me do

I question whether US Army is interested

in endocrine secretion chemical

regulators of human behavior you can set

your bottom dollar I don't what do you

want I know it's terrible of me that

barge in here so soon but well I'll have

to be in Washington all next week I'm

sorry I thought they told you my grant

has been doubled we need more space and

you know I love all this just thanks by

the way what are you going to do with

all of these I don't know

tell you what I can probably use most of

them of course all I really need are the

endocrine receptors but I'll pay you by

the pound charge as much as you want our

Uncle Sam is picking up the tab

get out here what you heard me

get out of here oh no need to be nasty

Rex I'm just trying to do you a favor

they're individuals they're special

they're unique you're not gonna grind

them up into your brain shake smears yes

all right no problem Rex just make sure

that you and all of your friends are out

by the end of the week that's a cop

makes me

[Applause]

[Music]

bad dream oh it must be an aftershock of

the accident accident what accident oh I

had a little accident this afternoon I

think Oh was that part of my tree Jim

said you seemed a little tense this

afternoon when did you see Jim since

when do you and Jim get together to talk

about me relax

he called me he's my friend too oh great

you and Jim huh you should both get

together and decide what's the matter I

don't know why you're so upset I think

you'd be excited

I guess I'm a little afraid I don't want

to rush into anything you've been poking

around in people's brains as long as

I've known you what makes this one so

different palsy palsy makes it different

he was a full fellow at the Institute

for Advanced Studies when he was 14 I

was still reading Tom Swift moist

scientists so what happened to him Tom

Swift

no silly Halsey oh well they said he

went nuts he killed his wife two kids

and three research assistants genius

maybe but definitely not a nice guy no

quite to the contrary he's a very sweet

man I met him today he likes me

I'm so glad you're making new friends

[Music]

would you buy me a pack of cigarettes

please oh my my money's no good here

oh here's a couple of bucks no no give

me your wallet oh you think I want every

Jo in the joint to know who's buying me

cigarette

all right

old man RJ was nobody's fool you can

learn a thing or two from this piece

back look real close you can see Amanda

is pissing see it's Franklin Roosevelt

and there that's his Willy

actually it's Rosenfeld it's true he

changed his name I read it in a book and

there in the lion you can see a giant

bald eagle mounting a naked woman from

behind palsy I need your help

you do yes here let me help you with

that in fact I think you're probably the

only one who can help me me why me you

and I we have something in common

what's that well for one thing we both

had the same employer pitch palsy no one

I don't know why oh I'm not a spy I

don't work for Conklin let me explain it

to you this way we both know that pure

science exists above all this do you

trust me

I do

I need to open you up I need to examine

your brain my brain you have a special

brain a very special brain that's why we

did all those tests but tests aren't

enough for them now I need to show them

my brain I know you feel like I've

railroaded you try blackmail I'm just

helping you bu you know you want to do

this and believe me

someday when you're rich and famous and

you're the head of unisys neuroscience

division you'll thank me mark my words

you'll thank me for what I did good luck

mr. Reston surely you're not suggesting

that unis go into the lobotomy business

we don't need that kind of publicity

it's not the image Eunice wants to

project I was merely using these

unpleasant associations to illustrate a

point dr. martens procedure is quite a

different story he's right it's very

different than the 50s you could call it

the kinder gentler lobotomy let's get to

the point shall we

what about Halsey yeah Mr Hall's EES

paranoid psychosis stems from an

abnormality near the sub visual cortex

now I've been doing very extensive maps

on the area skip the map can you cure

him restore his mathematical genius

stimulate his memory at least get the

numbers in the best possible case he may

completely recover if so he'll probably

remember the numbers you want or be able

to recalculate then if and only if he

believes it's appropriate and in the

worst case

Debu la raza a clean slate it could

completely wipe his brain please proceed

dr. Martin you have our undivided

attention

mr. Halsey are you still with us

why are you at the Lakeside

oh yes you do what about your family

they're dead

oh I'm so sorry what happened to me they

were murdered

really

oh I'm so sorry mr. Halsey

who killed them mr. Halsey Conklin black

and white and red all over

you didn't kill them yourself but what

about the numbers I'm just an accountant

[ __ ]

just give us those numbers all day

gentlemen

please

delicate procedure

mr. Hall

did you hear me mr. Halsey yeah mr.

Halsey is the man who followed you the

man who killed your family this Conklin

is he here

yes do you see him no how do you know

that a father's well I read well well I

can't see him mr. Halsey why don't you

take a look around just to put your mind

to rest

[Music]

[Laughter]

now I want you to just relax

mr. Halsey

is the man in white still with us look

for him please

Oh how are you affirmed Thank You mr.

Halsey by the way mr. Halsey what do you

do for a living and what are you working

on now not at liberty to discussion

sorry that's quite all right

[Applause]

Stockinger Martin you have written and

said many times reality is in the brain

that's right yes

and yet you give yourself the power to

alter another human beings reality

ethical questions aside what are we

really talking about here what's the

growth potential I've got this one the

last decade cosmetic plastic surgery has

out-grossed every other medical

procedure bar none by several thousand

percent people are so anxious to change

their faces and bodies what about their

personalities the very souls had a bad

childhood we can fix it we sculpt your

memory sharpen your perception or soften

it

why not and why not Eunice

[Applause]

look I know I pushed you the longer on

this one when it's all for the best

now you have Dana removing the Chairman

lot for dinner today

from me you maniac I don't know what's

going on here but did I follow you

did I try mention did I perhaps even

kill your loved ones yes you did good

that's very frightening that's a very

frightening thoughts are you frightened

sometimes we have thoughts that are so

frightening we can't even admit to

ourselves that we have them the only way

we can deal with those thoughts is to

believe that somebody else has don't do

that

it's sir it's not reality up but it's

progress

you don't know you don't to get into any

of this I do you know mr. Martin dr.

warn you my wife is a top attorney Fred

Dewey all right this confined this is

get hurt it wasn't bad was it

thank you gentlemen wait at the nurse's

station I'll call you later

god I wish that you would stop treating

me like what like you're what Oh

I've started to feel a little lazy that

was no sedative you gave me if you are

the man who was following me I know that

that's right and my best right suit

staying with blood you killed Jim and

Dana it's possible to be distracted by

too much detail for instance your dream

it could be very simple you create

yourself as that which you have always

wanted to be but some part of you or

some part of your mind is not very

comfortable with that so your fragment

into another part called halsy and in

your dream halsy becomes your patient as

in actuality you are my patient but in

real life mr. Martin

there is no Halsey you are hold

[Music]

[Music]

yeah you think you can behave yourself I

should think so all right

buckle

[Applause]

yes

Paul Donnie - of course sir here as

always see she knows me but what is this

how did you get in my office

make yourself comfortable mr. Martin my

office is your office you can sit in my

chair if you like but I think could be

more comfortable over here then I can

close the door and we can start a

session

Francis Martin born December 7 thank you

I'm fine I know

I can't believe it I'm sorry I can't

believe it you think you big host yes I

think there is a very real possibility

it's a very remote possibility surely

man of science can you think about this

scientifically excuse me dr. Reza Tim

thank God get me out of it that's a

crazy mix-up here you remember Jim our

accountant accountant

shock therapy will help you relax

no I think just a lightly

[Applause]

what are you doing here they keep all

the psycho killers on the same floor but

I didn't do it you don't need to tell me

not dreaming this it's not a dream I've

ruled that out it's more like that I'm

being dreamed by Eunice you to everybody

the whole thing this car we're all being

dreamed by Eunice for the universe is

like a wet dream by the perception of

illusion we experience reality are you

experienced mr. Halsey

that's mr. Conklin Eunice security he's

been looking all over for you

alright I'd like to tell you that you

have the wrong man

I'm sorry mr. Halsey but it's important

we really do need that equation where

are you taking me home to Lakes I

believe the law farmhouse this is the

Sheppard

we're coming in go

[Music]

where should we begin at the beginning

of course that's just relaxed astrology

how do you want just the facts

I don't know what you talking about

but you can't do this we only halsy you

your ideas your thoughts your very brain

it's all ours you cause you're a wholly

owned subsidiary of Yunus corporation

and that hothi are you sure changsu

wondered whether he was a man dreaming

of being a butterfly or whether he was a

butterfly dreaming of being a man are

you sure this doesn't seem to be working

I don't see what we're accomplishing

here he's of no use to us this way just

make sure no one else will ever get it

out of him tabula rasa the clean slate

wait let me try can you hear me palsy

can you hear me okay

Martin Rex can you hear me it's me Jim I

know who you are

good now listen very carefully it

doesn't make any difference anymore who

you are when you get out of here you can

be whoever you want to be we'll help you

start a whole new life you want to be a

neurologist fine you've got it but

you've got to work with us

but my ass is on the line too I could

lose my job but you could lose much more

much much more I don't know what you

want we want the right side of the

equation you erased it don't you

remember

last day you came to work you'd have a

tough weekend hard work killing and
