"The cradle rocks above an abyss

"And common sense tells
us that our existence

"is but a brief crack of light

between two eternities
of darkness,"

Yes, the cradle rocks,

and, I think you'll agree,
so does vladimir nabokov,,,

Every time he sets pen to paper,

But whether old
vlad's description

of the human condition is born
of hope or of dire pessimism,,,

is the question,,,

3:56 P, M,

Is, is the question
we will come back to

when I return from my leave,

Now, before you go,
no doubt a lot of you

have heard the rumors
circulating around campus

about my upcoming operation

and I figured I'd better
set the record straight,

The next time I see you,
I may actually see you,

Dear sweet Molly Bloom
here may be out of a job,

I know that sounds

kind of crazy,
but I volunteered to be a guinea pig

in a medical procedure
that I and my doctors Hope

will allow me to see
for the first time

since my childhood accident,

I could give you
the hard science,

but, uh, there's a reason
I teach the humanities,

I can tell you that it involves
a combination of an implant

of some state-Of-The-Art
micro-Electronics

and the use of a
sophisticated drug...

Get this...
That could only be manufactured

in the zero gravity
of outer space,

So if, uh, if anyone asks me

what the hell good all those
space shuttle missions are for,

you can tell them,,,

they may have just made
a Miracle possible,

You're looking at areas B-1
and 17 of the occipital lobe,

better known as the
primary visual cortex,

By removing the damaged portion

of the necrotic area

and replacing it with
our neural prosthesis,

we expect to fully restore

the patient's visual circuitry,

Syringe,

I'll now be injecting
the cerebral sheath

with the same iridium suspension

which has been part
of the patient's

pre-Surgery drug therapy
for the last seven days,

Ready for the implant now,

Patrick?

How are you feeling?

Like I parted my hair
with a jackhammer,

We've cut down on
the painkillers

until we can assess the
results of the surgery,

Are you going to take
the bandages off now?

Before we do that,
I want to introduce you

to dr, Louise Burrows,
the consulting psychologist,

You're still convinced
I'll need therapy?

Regardless of the results,

you will be facing a
period of Adjustment,

Hi, Patrick,

It's a pleasure to
finally meet you,

Are you as attractive
as you sound?

Let's hope you'll be able

to answer that question
yourself, Patrick,

Okay,

Oh, my god, there's light,

I can sense light, doctor,

That's wonderful, Patrick,

Just take it easy,

Oh, my god, there's light,

Oh, my god,

Oh, I can see your face,

I can see your faces,

Oh, it's incredible,

It's incredible,

Thank you, doctor,

Thank you,

What is it, Patrick?

What is that?

What is that? Oh, my god!
Who are you?

Oh, my god,

What are you...

Patrick, what do you see?

There is nothing
wrong with your television,

Do not attempt To
adjust the picture,

We are now controlling
the transmission,

We control the horizontal

and the vertical,

We can deluge you with
a thousand channels

or expand one single
image to crystal clarity

and beyond,

We can shape your vision

to anything our
imagination can conceive,

For the next hour,

we will control all
that you see and hear,

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from
the deepest inner mind

to The outer limits,

It is said that what we behold

with our eyes is merely
the surface of reality,

But if we could see

beneath that facade,
what would lie within?

Come in,

Louise, I was hoping it was you,

Remember, you promised,

no more jokes about "a
sight for sore eyes,"

All right,
I'll try to restrain myself,

Have you talked to Dr, Lennox?
Yes,

He can't keep you
in the hospital

against your will,

although it is his
strong preference,

I did manage to convince him

that what you experienced
is not likely to recur,

So what happens now?

I get remanded to the custody

of my personal shrink?

No, Patrick,

I'm only here when you need me,

Just like Molly,

Louise, do you still think
it was all a hallucination?

This was the first use of your
eyesight in almost 20 years,

and they tell me

your brain's visual cortex

is actually being retrained,

It was so damn real,

Yeah,

Tell me again,

what did she look like?

Red eyes,

Red hair,

The rest,,,

her skin, it was,

it was so pale, it was strange,

almost like a ghost,

Is that what you think you saw
then, a ghost?

You just got finished

with a perfectly
plausible explanation,

When you were a child

when your vision
was still intact,

did you ever see anything
like, like this woman?

You mean like the bogeyman?

Give it any name you like,

I had fantasies, phobias,

like any kid,

Such as?

Well, um,
I remember lying in my bed

staring at the
half-Open closet door,

I swear the door
started to move,

It doesn't mean we're
crazy when we see something

that's not there,

Well, I think I'm ready
to face the world,

Do you mind if I accompany you?

Twist my arm,

The trees, the sky...
Everything is so beautiful,

So they tell me

you lost your sight
in an accident

when you were, what, 7?

Going blind was the least of it,

I lost my parents in
the same accident,

I'm sorry,

It was a single-Engine
plane crash,

We were on our way to alaska,

They wanted me to see
the Aurora borealis,

the northern lights,

My father was at the
controls when we lost power

over Fort yukon in
the arctic circle,

So who raised you?

My aunt... My mother's sister,

She never let me
wallow in self-Pity,

If it wasn't for her,

I don't think I would have
gone on to college or teaching,

She died of cancer a
little over a year ago,

That certainly puts
things in perspective,

How do you mean?

Uh, it's just those
kinds of losses,

the emotional
trauma can affect us

in ways that are, well,
sometimes unpredictable,

That's psychoanal-Ese for
"This guy's a whack-Job"?

I'm not here to make judgments,

I thought that's exactly...

What is that? What do you see?

Patrick, talk to me,

Did you...

She's gone,

Who's gone?

The girl,

You didn't see a
girl right there?

No headaches or dizzy spells?

No,

Any discomfort associated with

shifting focus from near to far?

No,

Any halos around objects?

I don't think so, no,

Artifacts,

I'm sorry?

Oh, um, spots of light or dark

that seem to float over
your field of view,

Not really, no,

Well, everything looks Good,

Very good,

No evidence of rejection,
no brain swelling,

Except for the restricted
peripheral vision, Patrick,

you're doing better

than we could have
ever hoped for,

So there's,,,
there's nothing abnormal,

Physically,
I don't see anything anomalous,

Why, is there something
that doesn't feel normal?

No, I just,,,

you know,
when the bandages first came off,

You experience anything
like that again?

No,

Uh, no, dr,
Burrows explained how that was

just a figment of
my imagination,

Vivid as hell from
the sound of it,

Yes, it was,

I'm going to give
you another injection

of the iridium suspension,

Are you all right?

Yeah,

Not my favorite
part of the process,

Yeah,

Look, Patrick,,,

we're going to have to hope

that your body
becomes acclimated

to the side effects,

because without the drug,

the bridge to your
neural prosthesis

would quickly disintegrate,

Well, like I said,

best feeling in the world,

You didn't say anything to
dr, Lennox?

I did, actually,

He pretended he
hadn't heard a thing,

Maybe he wanted you
to volunteer it,

Why are you all
playing games with me?

No one's playing games with you,

I think dr, Lennox just feels

it's best dealt with
in a therapeutic realm,

Can you go back there?

Do you remember what you saw?

She's trying to talk to me,

I can't hear her,

but I can make out
what she's saying,

She's crying for help,,,

over and over and over
and over and over,

Would you like to help her?

I'm not a child, Louise,

I know what you're driving at,

Which is?

Wish fulfillment,
unconscious cravings,

I've created an imaginary girl

to fulfill some twisted need,

We do that routinely
in our dreams,

Both times I wasn't dreaming,

You were there,

Why would my mind fantasize

something so terrifying?

Patrick, listen to me,

For 20 years you were blind,

You lived in a world that
was cloaked in darkness,

And then as sudden as
turning on a switch,

your senses are
flooded with light,

How can it not be overwhelming?

When does it stop?

I don't think anyone Can
answer that question but you,

This is everything we
could have hoped for

and more,

I'm still not persuaded

that it is anything more

than an EMOTIONALLY
inspired vision...

Like the Madonna appearing

in the reflection of
an office building,

Listen to the tape of
Dr, Burrows' session,

I defy you to write that
off as a fantasy, a mirage,

Maybe you're just seeing
what you want to see,

Joseph,
I don't have to remind you

that without the iridium we
supplied, your experiment

would have had no
chance of succeeding,

I would like to
be able to report

your continued cooperation
to my superiors,

It'd be a shame to have

as precious a gift as your
patient's snatched away,

Help me, Patrick,

This isn't happening,

This isn't happening,

This isn't happening,

You're not real,
You're not real,

You're not real, You can't be,

I'm not dreaming, am I?

Who are you?

Kyra,

That's beautiful,

You said you wanted
me to help you,

How could I help you?

You're not alive, are you?

You're some, you're some,,,

No,

No,,,no, Kyra, wait, please,

Kyra, Kyra, don't go,

Will I see you again?

Just tell me that,

All right,

Let's take it at
face value then,

This girl...

Kyra, She told me her name,

Okay,

She appears to you
and no one else,

She can't be heard,

so she communicates
by writing in the air,

And she tells you

she's from another planet?

Another world,

I never should
have said anything,

Your mother had red
hair, didn't she?

Who told you that?

I read about it in the
story of the accident,

She looks nothing like my
mother, Louise,

Please stop twisting what I say,

I am just trying to
make sense of it,

I won't be able to help you

if you don't meet me halfway,

Patrick, is it happening?

Kyra, Kyra,

Kyra,

I'm sorry,
I thought you were someone else,

I'm sorry,

It's all right,

Leave me alone, okay?

Get the hell away from me,

All right,

Oh,,,

I wasn't dreaming,

Both times I wasn't dreaming,

You were there,

Why would my mind fantasize
something so terrifying?

Patrick, listen to me,

Where did you get that tape?

Oh, Louise,

I never recorded that session,

And if I had,
it would have been for my own use,

You were told from
the moment you came in

how important this
experiment was,

I feel like I've already
betrayed Patrick's trust,

He opened up to me
with the understanding

that it would be
strictly confidential,

Louise, please understand that
your participation in This

is just one part of
a larger picture,

Well, if you expect me to
continue to participate

I won't have you spying
on me or my patient,

With all due respect,
you won't lay the ground rules,

If you choose to withdraw
from this project,

there are other mental
health professionals

who would jump at the chance,

I have a connection
to this young man,

I'm not walking,

After all, this is a case
that could make one's career,

Or am I reading
between the lines?

Besides,
he's not just your patient,

He's our patient too,
and something of a milestone,

He's a human being, Joseph,

And a very troubled one,

He insists on going
back to the classroom,

He's clearly delusional,

And if he deteriorates
any further,

it might develop into
a serious psychosis,

If in fact his symptoms Truly
are signs of a psychosis,

Joseph,
I have the strongest feeling

I haven't been thoroughly
briefed on this case,

You know as much as
you need to know,

No, that is not good enough,

I want to know what the
hell is going on here,

Louise, have a seat,

Please,

You know the iridium that
has been an integral part

of Patrick's
post-Operative therapy?

The synaptic stimulant,

the one that helps
stroke victims,

There's compelling
scientific evidence

that it doesn't just enhance
the brain's receptivity,

But it enhances perception,
heightens the senses,

even in Faculties sometimes
referred to as extra-Sensory,

What are you trying to tell me?

That what Patrick
is experiencing,,,

it just might be real,

Aside from their
immeasurable genius,

what Virginia Woolf,
William Faulkner, James Joyce

all had in common was their
use of a literary technique

that we've come to know as
stream of consciousness,

in which the characters'

thoughts, their
actions, their emotions

all have an associative
pattern rather...

No,

No,

Uh,,,

uh, stream of consciousness,
right, where,,,

the characters, their
thoughts, their act...

Is everything okay?

If I had a trophy room,

I'd probably hang a picture
of your brain scan in it,

You are the real-Life
six million dollar man,

So is that it for today?

Not yet,

I'll be giving you
another injection,

In fact, I'd like you to come in

every day this week
for a treatment,

I don't know if my
body Can handle that,

You don't want to backslide,

Of course not,

It's just,,,the drug wreaks
havoc on my system, doctor,

I can't eat for
hours afterwards,

The headaches are unbearable,

Something's wrong, isn't it?

No, nothing is wrong,

I don't believe you,

Patrick, you're proof that
the treatment is a success,

It's the drug, isn't it?

The iridium is
allowing me to see her,

See who?

Oh, I know Louise has
told you everything,

Why won't you tell me the truth?

He's right, We should,

It's time you were
told the truth,

Oh,

Mr, Borden, I didn't know
that you were observing,

What truth?

I wasn't aware there
was more than one,

Who are you?

Forgive me... Dwight Borden,

I work with British intelligence

and the national
security agency,

National security?

The iridium drug that was
produced on the shuttle,

Mr, Borden's agency
made it possible,

Rarer than a flawless diamond,

And far more costly,

It wasn't developed

for your procedure per se,

It's used in your
case as one of those

unexpected byproducts
of scientific research,

What was It produced for?

Actually, Mr, Tarloff,,,
may I call you Patrick?

Patrick, eight years ago

a small group of scientists
within the government discovered

that a drug originally
developed for stroke victims

had some extraordinary
properties,

It allowed certain
subjects to perceive

faint but consistent signs
of what we could only call

a non-Visible lifeform,

Now, we surmised that
if we refined the drug

and found the right person,

we could track these
signals, amplify them,,,

that he might become
a receiver of sorts,

A receiver?

We tried it on hundreds of
volunteers in a dozen studies,

We never got further
than trace evidence,

Until now,

Patrick, these visions
you've been experiencing,

We believe they are the
first corroborative proof

of the lifeform
I'm talking about,

It's,,,I can't,,,
it's too bizarre,

You are that human
receiver, Patrick,

Are you all right?

I can hear you,

That's what I'd hoped,

What was that thing?
What did you do to me?

It's something I
salvaged from my craft,

I can only use it in
limited areas like this one,

Magnetic nodes,
where currents cross,

I'd hoped it would break
down the remaining barriers,

But you're still
visible only to me?

I can feel you,

I can really feel your hand,

It's been so long since
I felt another's touch,

I don't know how
long this will last,

We were warned about
COMING too close

to the magnetic
field of your planet,

but my father wanted
a better look,

I was the only survivor of five,

It was almost seven years ago,

I was orphaned

in a craft that crashed too,

It was just a
single-Engine plane,

All these years, I've wandered your
planet, seeing everything,

But unable to be seen,

Until you,

I still don't understand

how you found me, how you knew,

The system,

the substance that
was created in space,

The iridium drug,

As soon as it was
returned to earth,

I found myself drawn to it,

drawn to the people
who were treated by it,

I was scared though,

I'd seen so much cruelty here,

so much darkness and suffering,

But when it was used on you,

it was so intense,

became irresistible,

And like a moth to flame,,,

why do you say that?

Because I could pose
a danger to you,

I don't understand,

The people who created it,

they know about you,

They used the iridium
before I even saw you

to somehow detect your presence,

The worst,,,

the worst of it is,

now they think I have
a way to reach you,

Through you,

I can't go back to being alone,

You have no idea
what it's been like,

To have no one to talk to,

share my feelings, my thoughts,

To touch, to embrace,

It's still so hard to fathom,

We need your help, Louise,

We want him to bring
the alien to us,

How can you be so certain
that this energy phenomenon

is an alien?

We've heard them communicate,

Of course,
all we hear is his side

of the conversation, They speak?

Yes, it's a recent development,

They were up half the
night, talking, laughing,

Sensory exchange is

even,,,tactile,

It's quite astonishing, really,

You bugged his apartment,

Louise, you must realize

the importance of
what we stumbled upon,

Oh, I do, but...

Louise,
it seems Patrick trusts you,

We want you to assure him that
we mean this being no harm,

On the contrary,
we want to learn all we can from her,

Eventually we might be
able to return the favor,

Our telemetry might be
used to signal her world,

We know she wants that,

I just don't know,

Louise, Patrick's
psychological state Depends

on his being able to
help this creature,

You thwart that

and he may never recover,

I don't know, Louise,

Bringing Kyra to meet them,

it scares the hell out of me,

What's scary is making

the scientific
discovery of the century

and not being able to
share it with the world,

And you really believe that
Borden is willing to help her

make contact with
her home planet,

All they want is to be
able to ask her questions

and you'd serve as interpreter,

You're in love with
her, aren't you?

You must really
think I'm crazy now,

No,

On the contrary,

It's enough to make a
cynic believe in fate,

Welcome,,,

to both of you?

What's all this?

Some instrumentation,

Measuring devices,

She is with you, yes?

She's right here,

Would you direct her
to take that seat?

She can hear you,

She can understand
everything you say,

Kyra, please,

Let's start, shall we?

Ask her where she comes from,

Beyond your reach,

Could she be a
little more specific?

You would call it
a neutron star,

How is that possible?

The temperatures
are unthinkable,

Only by your measure,

What are the coordinates

of the star?

Something's wrong,

Something's very wrong,

She's not comfortable
giving you that information,

Tell her we've been
to a lot of trouble

on her behalf,

Patrick, please, I want to go,

We're not doing this right
now, We're leaving,

Don't! What have you done?

My god, Kyra!

Patrick,

Do you really
think that We would harm her?

This is a strong magnetic field,

Nothing more,

She can't pass through it,

Once she's over
her skittishness,

we will switch it off,

You can both go,
That's a promise,

If she's still alive,

Turn it off now!

Borden, maybe he's right,

I want you to consider where
your allegiance lies, Patrick,

With the scientists

who gave you back your sight,

or with An INTERLOPER

whose agenda you
don't really know,

No, when she's
ready to talk to us,

we will be ready to listen,

She's not the enemy...
We're the enemy!

This is all my fault,

I never should have
brought you here,

It's the nature of your kind,

Fear what you don't know,

We don't have any
choice, you know,

You have to tell
them everything,

You know better than
that, Patrick,

I'm a trophy now,

They'll never let me go,

How much time do we have?

I don't know,

Hours, maybe less,

Kyra,,,Kyra,

Kyra, no,

Kyra, you can't, Kyra!

No, no, Kyra,

You can't!

Kyra, you need help,

Patrick,
I have to talk to you,

Just for a moment,

Patrick, I swear,
I knew nothing of Borden's plan,

I'm as appalled as you are,

You expect me to believe that?

It's the god's truth,

All right,

All right, you told me,

Now go,

I, uh,
wanted to leave you with this,

What is "This"?

It's the remaining stores
of iridium suspension,

It's all that's standing
between you and total blindness,

So you struck a
deal with the devil?

Patrick,

As long as there's iridium
pumping through my veins

they've got the perfect bait

to lure Kyra back,

They knew about her

before you gained your eyesight,

She was only a shadow,

She was a whisper in the void,

She was free,

Thank you,

I better go,

Goodbye, Patrick,

Kyra!

Kyra!

Kyra!

No!

You can't,

I didn't think
I'd see you again,

You're the only thing
I have in this world,

The only thing that matters,

I thought going home mattered,

It's never going to happen,

The only people who can
help me are so ignorant

they'll wind up
killing me first,

That's why I'm doing this,

Patrick, please,

The iridium is preventing you

from being consigned
to darkness,

It's also the only thing
that's guaranteeing your doom,

If there's a Link between
us, they can track you,

they can hunt you
down and imprison you,

I made that mistake once

and I won't let it happen again,

You'd rather lose your sight?

Not meant to see
something so wondrous

picked at and prodded
by their damn machines,

We have no right,

I have no right,

I love you,

That's enough for me,

I knew I'd be followed,

There isn't enough time,

You have no idea

what you've done,

In closing, for those of you

who've expressed concern
about my condition,

I refer you to Victor
Hugo's Les miserables,

"Possessing love,
he is not deprived of light,

"a love, moreover,
that is wholly pure,

"There can be no blindness

where there is this certainty,"

Well,,,

see you next time,

of all the gifts
his maker has bestowed upon man,

none is more precious than
his ability to love another,
