IT'S NOT MUCH OF A HIDE-OUT.

BUT A CHARMING PLACE
TO SPEND THE NIGHT.

HE'LL NEVER KNOW
WHAT HIT HIM.

I LIKE IT
WHEN THEY DO.

( mumbling )

ONE OF THOSE GUYS.

A COUPLE OF FREAKS!

SHOW TIME.

LET'S GET HIM.

HEY, I'M SORRY, MAN.

THIS AIN'T MY CAR.

THIS GUY GAVE ME
ALL THIS STUFF.

WHERE TO, CHIEF?

YOU CAN HAVE IT, IF YOU WANT.

HE TOLD ME...

OH, MY GOD.

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY

WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND

TO
THE OUTER LIMITS.

SOMETIMES, TO UNCOVER THAT
WHICH IS HIDDEN,

WE MUST FIRST BE MADE TO LOOK.

HEY, WE WERE GETTING
A LITTLE WORRIED ABOUT YOU.

I WOULDN'T
MISS THIS ONE.

WE'VE GOT
A SHOW TO DO.

WHERE THE HELL
HAVE YOU BEEN?

I HAD TO GIVE A COUPLE
OF ARDENT FANS THE SLIP.

THAT'S
COMFORTING.

WELL, I'M HERE.
DID EVERYBODY MAKE IT?

YES, BARELY.

THAT'S GOOD.

LOCK IT UP REAL TIGHT TODAY.

I DON'T WANT ANYBODY
IN OR OUT OF THE STUDIO.

EVERBODY! FOCUS!

THIS IS THE BIG ONE.

SANDRA, YOU'RE LOSING YOUR EDGE.

I'VE BEEN HERE A MINUTE,

AND YOU HAVEN'T
ASKED ME FOR THE SCRIPT.

I'M DON'T CARE.
I'M BEHIND THE CAMERA.

GET THIS
ON THE TELEPROMPTER ASAP.

IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO RERUN

YOUR EXPOSE ON THE HARTFORD
RIVER NUCLEAR FACILITY.

YOU JUST
SAY THE WORD.

THERE'S A REASON PEOPLE
DON'T DO LIVE TV ANY MORE.

WE USED
TO DO IT.

YEAH,
FOR CABLE ACCESS IN DES MOINES.

LIFE WAS
SIMPLE THEN.

YOU THINK
THE JOB'S STILL OPEN?

SANDRA, WE'RE GOING
TO MAKE HISTORY HERE.

PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW THIS.

AND WE NEED THEM TO WATCH.

THEY WILL.

GOOD SHOW.

WHO'S GOT CLOSED CIRCUIT TODAY?

I'LL CHECK OUT
THE REMOTE

BEFORE
WE LOCK IT UP.

BRING IT UP THEN AND, COLIN,

COULD YOU PIPE ME
INTO INTERVIEW 'A'

AND MAKE THAT PRIVATE?

YOU GOT IT.

CLOSE-UP WOULD BE NICE,
THANK YOU.

HELLO?
MY FRIEND, ARE YOU THERE?

CAN YOU HEAR ME?

YES, DONALD.

GOOD.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?

FINE.

THAT BAD, HUH?

I DON'T FEEL SAFE
HERE, DONALD.

WELL, THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT.

LAST TIME WE SPOKE,
YOU DIDN'T FEEL SAFE ANYWHERE.

THE FACT
THAT THIS PLACE

ISN'T ANY WORSE
THAN ANY OTHER

ISN'T
VERY COMFORTING.

THERE HAS TO BE
ANOTHER WAY.

YOUR BROTHER
TRIED IT ANOTHER WAY,

AND THAT'S WHAT GOT HIM
INTO THAT MESS.

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO TRY TO TRUST ME HERE.

YOU TRUST ME, DON'T YOU?

YES.

GOOD, WELL, WE'RE GOING LIVE
IN ABOUT FIVE MINUTES.

SO JUST TRY TO RELAX,

AND REMEMBER
WHAT YOU'RE HERE FOR.

I REMEMBER.

OKAY.

YEAH.

IT'S THE BIG ONE TODAY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

WE JUST GOT THE SCRIPT
DOWN ON THE SET.

YOU GOT IT.

SO I'LL BE GIVING YOU
THE BREAK CUES DIRECTLY.

NO PROBLEM.

I'LL NEED DOUBLE CHECKS
ON ALL THE GEAR.

CAMERAS TWO AND THREE AS WELL.

I WANT THEM READY TO ROLL
AT A MOMENT'S NOTICE.

THE NETWORK GUY
JUST CALLED.

HE'S GOT A TRANSMITTER

WELL, NEITHER AM I.
SO WHERE ARE WE AT?

THE CREW'S
SET TO GO.

BILLY'S
READY TO GO

BUT CAN'T FIND

HE WON'T FIND IT.

I'LL BE
TAKING THE FLOOR TONIGHT.

SOMETHING WRONG WITH THAT?

NO... I MEAN, SANDRA,
ALL THIS SECURITY AND STUFF.

I THOUGHT
IT WAS A STANDARD PROMO HYPE.

THIS IS FOR REAL?

I WISH IT WEREN'T.

I CAME HERE TO BE A TV REPORTER.

I GUESS I CAN DO
A LITTLE JAMES BOND ON THE SIDE.

YEAH.

COME ON.

LET'S BE SHARP, PEOPLE!

STANDING BY.
CAMERAS READY.

GET YOURSELVES TOGETHER.

WE'RE GOING TO AIR!

WE DON'T HAVE TIME

GOOD EVENING,

YOU MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO TURN

HOPING OR PRAYING
THAT NONE OF THIS IS TRUE.

IT WILL BE MY JOB,

TO MAKE YOU LISTEN,
TO MAKE YOU BELIEVE.

HOW MANY TIMES

HAVE OUR OWN
ELECTED OFFICIALS DECEIVED US?

USED US?

ALABAMA, 1932...

THE U.S. GOVERNMENT
DENIES PENICILLIN

TO BLACK MEN
INFECTED WITH SYPHILIS

SO THAT RESEARCHERS
COULD OBSERVE THE DISEASE

RUN ITS COURSE.

THE TUSKEGEE EXPERIMENT
CONTINUES

FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS

AS SCIENTISTS
WATCH THEIR SUBJECTS' BONES,

HEARTS AND NERVE TISSUE
SLOWLY DISINTEGRATE

AND DO NOTHING TO STOP IT.

1946... AS PART OF

THE MANHATTAN PROJECT,

THE GOVERNMENT
SECRETLY INJECTS 12 PATIENTS

IN ROCHESTER, NEW YORK

WITH URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM

TO TEST THE EFFECTS

OF RADIATION EXPOSURE
ON HUMAN BEINGS.

50 YEARS LATER,
THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

RELEASES FILES

DETAILING SIMILAR EXPERIMENTS
ON NEARLY

20,000 OTHER PEOPLE

INCLUDING PRISONERS,
MENTALLY DISABLED CHILDREN

AND PREGNANT WOMEN.

1953... THE CIA INITIATES

MK-ULTRA,
A SERIES OF EXPERIMENTS

IN ADVANCED
MIND-CONTROL TECHNIQUES,

INCLUDING ELECTRO-SHOCK THERAPY

AND PSYCHO-ACTIVE DRUGS

ON A WIDE VARIETY OF
OFTEN UNSUSPECTING SUBJECTS.

THE PROJECT IS SPREAD OUT

ACROSS A VAST NETWORK

OF GOVERNMENTAL
AND PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS

AND CONTINUES
IN SECRET FOR NEARLY 20 YEARS.

TIME AND AGAIN,
OUR GOVERNMENT HAS OPENLY

CONFIRMED
OUR WORST MOST PARANOID FEARS.

AND IF THAT'S WHAT

THEY'RE WILLING TO ADMIT,

THEN WHAT
HAVE THEY CHOSEN TO CONCEAL?

TONIGHT,
THE WHOLE TRUTH

WILL EXPOSE
A SECRET GOVERNMENT PROGRAM

DISPERSED THROUGH
NUMEROUS PUBLIC AGENCIES

AND PRIVATE CORPORATIONS,
ALL WITH THE SAME GOAL...

TO SLOWLY AND INVISIBLY

MANIPULATE THE COURSE
OF HUMAN GENETIC DEVELOPMENT

AND BY EXTENSION

THE FUTURE OF EVERY MAN,
WOMAN AND CHILD IN THIS COUNTRY.

SINCE THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE
WILL DO EVERYTHING

IN THEIR CONSIDERABLE POWER
TO SUPPRESS THIS INFORMATION,

WE ARE BROADCASTING
TONIGHT'S SHOW LIVE.

EVERYONE HERE
HAS VOLUNTEERED TO BE HERE.

I'D LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUES
AND THE NETWORK

FOR THEIR COURAGE IN LETTING ME
GO ON AIR WITH THIS.

OUR STORY
BEGINS OVER 30 YEARS AGO

WITH AN EXTRAORDINARY
U.S. ARMY MEDICAL EXPERIMENT

ON IMMORTALITY.

IN A SERIES OF BRUTAL TESTS,

DR. TERRANCE SINCLAIR
MADE EXTENSIVE STUDIES

ON THE BLOOD OF
A REMARKABLE YOUNG WOMAN

IDENTIFIED ONLY AS JADE

WHO APPEARED TO BE IMMUNE
TO THE AGING PROCESS.

WHILE SINCLAIR'S ATTEMPTS
TO EXTEND HUMAN LIFESPANS

DID ACHIEVE SOME SUCCESS,

THE INTERVENTION
OF AN UNIDENTIFIED SOLDIER

BROUGHT HIS EXPERIMENTS
TO AN ABRUPT HALT

AS WE SEE
IN THIS DRAMATIC RE-ENACTMENT.

NO!

NO!

NO!

STOP!

MAKE IT STOP!

JUNE 20, 1600 HOURS.

THIS IS DR. TERRANCE SINCLAIR.

I'M ABOUT TO INTRODUCE
THE SECOND TEST SERIES

INTO THE BLOODSTREAM
TO MEASURE TOXICITY RESPONSE.

WHY DON'T
WE SEDATE HER?

THAT WOULD AFFECT
THE TEST RESULTS.

HOLD HER STILL.

( screaming )

PLEASE.

PLEASE DON'T HURT ME ANY MORE.

I WON'T HURT YOU.

PLEASE HELP ME.

I'M LOOKING AT A COURT MARTIAL
COMING IN HERE.

WHAT'S HE DOING TO YOU?

HELP ME
BEFORE HE RETURNS.

I THINK
I CAN WALK.

WHAT WILL
THEY DO TO YOU?

LET'S JUST GET YOU
OUT OF HERE.

PUT HER DOWN!

YOU CAN'T HURT THIS GIRL, SIR.

THAT WAS
AN ORDER.

PUT HER DOWN!

( girl sobbing )

LOOK, CORPORAL,
I DON'T THINK YOU KNOW...

YOU CAN'T TREAT HER LIKE THIS!

SHE'S NOT A PERSON!

SHE'S NOT...

I'M A SCIENTIST.

I KNOW HOW THIS MUST LOOK.

BUT THE WORK WE'RE DOING HERE
IS VERY IMPORTANT.

IT COULD MEAN A GREAT DEAL
TO THE REST OF US.

SOLDIER,
PUT HER BACK

ON THE TABLE AND GET OUT!

PLEASE DON'T.

IT'S OKAY.

WE'RE LEAVING.

NOW.

YOU CAN'T HAVE HER!

DON'T!

DON'T SHOOT! DON'T!

TAPED LOGS

THE WHOLE TRUTH

REVEAL THE ASTONISHING DETAILS.

( Dr. Sinclair )
AUGUST 11, 2100 HOURS...

THE LABORATORY
AND VIRTUALLY ALL EVIDENCE

OF THE PROJECT WERE DESTROYED.

NO BODIES WERE EVER RECOVERED.

BUT WAS THIS
SIMPLY AN ISOLATED INCIDENT?

OR THE FIRST PIECE
OF A MUCH LARGER PUZZLE?

WHEN WE RETURN, WE'LL MEET
THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE

FOR BRINGING THIS EVIDENCE
AND A GREAT DEAL MORE TO LIGHT.

COMING UP NEXT...
THE MAN WHO'S

MADE A PICTURE
FROM THOSE PIECES.

( ♪ )

WHEN OUR CHOSEN LEADERS TURN
AGAINST US, WHERE DO WE TURN?

TO THE POLICE? TO OUR LAWS?

TO A GUN UNDER THE PILLOW?

OR TO THE COURAGE OF A MAN
ARMED ONLY WITH THE TRUTH.

THE SOURCE FOR MUCH
OF WHAT YOU WILL SEE TONIGHT

IS JUST SUCH A MAN.

HE'S A MOLECULAR BIOLOGIST

FORMERLY WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

WE'VE TAKEN EVERY PRECAUTION

TO KEEP HIS IDENTITY
AND LOCATION SECRET.

WE APPRECIATE YOU BEING

HERE WITH US
TONIGHT, SIR.

( electronically altered voice )
THANK YOU.

NOW YOU CLAIM YOU'VE
PIECED TOGETHER EVIDENCE

OF A LONG-RANGE
GOVERNMENT PROJECT

TO CHANGE THE COURSE
OF HUMAN GENETIC DEVELOPMENT?

YES, THAT'S CORRECT.

AND THIS PROJECT

WAS CREATED
BY DR. SINCLAIR?

NOT EXACTLY.

SINCLAIR'S
LONGEVITY EXPERIMENTS

WERE JUST A STARTING POINT.

BUT SEVERAL OF THE CURRENT
RESEARCH INITIATIVES

DID BUILD ON HIS WORK.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH AN ATTEMPT
TO EXTEND HUMAN LIFE SPANS?

NOTHING...
THE GOVERNMENT NEVER INTENDED

THAT RESEARCH, THAT TECHNOLOGY
TO REACH THE PUBLIC.

WHY?

THEY WERE
DEVELOPING A PROCESS

TO ALTER HUMANS
AT A CELLULAR LEVEL.

IT BEGAN AS A WAY

TO REVERSE NECROSIS
IN HUMAN TISSUE.

YOU MEAN A WAY
TO REANIMATE THE DEAD?

IT WAS
MORE THAN THAT.

THEIR PROCESS INVOLVED

REBUILDING THE NEURAL PATHWAYS
OF A SUBJECT'S BRAIN

IN SUCH A WAY THAT
THEY COULD CONTROL THE SUBJECT.

THAT'S WHAT
THEY WERE REALLY TRYING TO DO.

JOINING US VIA SATELLITE

VICE PRESIDENT
OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

AT FERRITIN LABORATORIES,
ONE COMPANY IN QUESTION.

DR. MORGAN,
HOW DO YOU

RESPOND TO
THESE ALLEGATIONS?

WELL, IN A NUTSHELL,
THE ALLEGATIONS ARE ABSURD.

THE FERRITIN CORPORATION

HAS A DISTINGUISHED RECORD
OF PUBLIC SERVICE

AND THE MOST
SCRUPULOUS RESEARCH PROTOCOLS

IN THE INDUSTRY.

IT'S TRUE
THAT OVER 75% OF YOUR R & D

IS DEVOTED TO DEFENSE PROJECTS?

WE'RE A DEFENSE
CONTRACTOR.

THE BENEFITS
FROM YOUR RESEARCH

ARE BEING
KEPT EXCLUSIVELY

FOR THE
GOVERNMENT AGENCIES

THAT SUPPORT YOU.

THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

WE HAVE A VIDEO
WHICH WAS DISTRIBUTED

TO FERRITIN'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS

CONTAINING A PROGRESS REPORT
OF YOUR REANIMATION PROJECT.

WHAT?

DOCTOR, PLEASE,
JUST WATCH YOUR MONITOR.

DOCTOR, CARE TO COMMENT
ON WHAT YOU JUST SAW?

THAT MATERIAL

IS COMPLETELY
OUT OF CONTEXT.

CLEARLY, IT'S
BEEN USED IN A...

YOU'RE ADMITTING
THAT IT'S AUTHENTIC?

WELL, THIS RESEARCH
WAS EXPLORATORY.

THE PROJECT WAS ONLY
FOR PROOF OF PRINCIPLE.

AND IT WAS NEVER
INTENDED TO BE USED

AS A WORKING PROJECT.

( signal breaking up )

DOCTOR,
WE'RE LOSING YOUR SIGNAL... HERE.

BEAR WITH US FOR A MOMENT.

WE'RE EXPERIENCING
SOME TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES.

PLEASE STAND BY.

THEY'RE TRYING
TO TAKE US

OFF THE AIR.

WE ARE APPARENTLY

HAVING TROUBLE WITH A NETWORK
SATELLITE TRANSPONDER.

WE'RE NOT SURE
IF THE INTERFERENCE

IS ACCIDENTAL OR INTENTIONAL,

BUT WE'RE PREPARED
FOR THIS CONTINGENCY.

WE HAVE SEVERAL
BACK-UP TRANSMITTER RELAYS

SET UP ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

THEY CAN BE SWITCHED OVER
TO MAKE SURE WE STAY ON THE AIR.

DONALD,
THEY'RE COMING.

I HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!

NO, NOT YET.

YOU WERE SAYING THAT, UH,
MANY OF THESE GOVERNMENT-FUNDED

BREAKTHROUGHS
WERE DELIBERATELY SUPPRESSED?

YES.

UM... UH,
THERE'S ANOTHER EXAMPLE.

THE DAYTON C COMPOUND CREATED
AT METADYNE PHARMACEUTICALS.

THIS ONE WAS A CELLULAR
REGENERATIVE AGENT,

A WAY TO ACCELERATE
THE SELF-REPAIR MECHANISMS

IN THE HUMAN CELLS.

IT WAS BASICALLY
A BROAD SPECTRUM CURE,

A GENIUNE
WONDER DRUG.

BUT IT NEVER REACHED THE PUBLIC?

THERE'S A REASON FOR THAT.

WHICH WE WILL SEE
IN THIS DRAMATIC RE-ENACTMENT

BASED ON METADYNE

PAY NO ATTENTION

TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN.

VERY CLEVER, KARL.

THESE WOULD ALL SEEM TO BE

SEPARATE AND DISTINCT AREAS
OF RESEARCH,

BUT ACCORDING TO YOU, SIR,
THEY ARE NOT.

NO, THEY'RE NOT.

YOU SEE,
ALL OF THOSE PROCEDURES

ARE BASED ON
PHYSICAL ALTERATION

OF HUMAN GENETIC MATERIAL.

SO THE KEY IS
TRANSFORMATION?

YES, CHANGING ONE THING,
ONE HUMAN THING, INTO ANOTHER.

THE REASON FOR THAT...

JUST A MOMENT PLEASE.

WE'RE GETTING WORD THAT
THERE IS ANOTHER BROADCAST

GOING OUT OVER SEVERAL
OF THE MAJOR NEWS NETWORKS NOW.

IT'S BEING PICKED UP.

CAN WE BRING
THAT UP?

OKAY...

AND I REITERATE

WE AREN'T INVOLVED

HOWEVER WE'RE APPALLED
THAT THEY WOULD ALLOW

IS THIS

DONALD RIVERS IS OBVIOUSLY
INTERESTED IN ONE THING,

AND THAT'S RATINGS.

JUST ONE MORE, PLEASE.

CAN YOU TELL US
ANYTHING

ABOUT HIS SOURCE?

WE HAVE IT
ON EXCELLENT AUTHORITY

THAT HIS SO-CALLED SOURCE

IS NOTHING MORE
THAN A MENTALLY ILL INDIVIDUAL

WHO IS BEING USED

THIS KIND OF THING
REALLY INFLAMES THE PUBLIC,

CAN MAKE SOME PEOPLE
DO CRAZY THINGS.

THAT'S ALL WE HAVE FOR NOW,
THANK YOU.

MY PRODUCER HAS JUST INFORMED ME
THAT A NUMBER OF OUR AFFILIATES

ARE HAVING PROBLEMS
RECEIVING OUR NETWORK FEED.

WE'RE LEARNING
THAT SEVERAL STATIONS

HAVE BEEN ORDERED
BY THEIR CORPORATE OWNERS

TO DROP THIS BROADCAST ENTIRELY.

I CAN ONLY URGE OUR AFFILIATES
TO PLEASE STAY THE COURSE,

KEEP US ON THE AIR.

WE ARE DEPENDING ON YOU
TO LET THE TRUTH COME OUT.

I'VE DONE OVER
A HUNDRED REPORTS AND

ISN'T THAT RIGHT?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I'M HONORED TO INTRODUCE
MY SOURCE, DR. AVERY STRONG.

WELCOME, DOCTOR.

THIS IS THE MAN YOUR GOVERNMENT
IS TRYING TO DISCREDIT,

BUT THEY WON'T SUCCEED,

BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW
THEY'RE PLANNING TO DO IT,

HOW THEY'RE PLANNING TO DRAG
HIS NAME THROUGH THE MUD.

WE'RE GOING TO FACE

PLEASE.

WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE
IS HIDDEN-CAMERA FOOTAGE

TAKEN TWO YEARS AGO
INSIDE THE PENTAGON.

WATCH.

MR. RANDAL STRONG, WELCOME.

MR. CHAIRMAN, THANK YOU.

I'M GRATEFUL THAT THE COMMITTEE

HAS GRANTED ME A HEARING.

MR. CHAIRMAN,
IN THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS,

I HAVE BEEN
CONDUCTING RESEARCH.

I'VE COME TO
THE INESCAPABLE CONCLUSION

THAT THE UNITED STATES,
QUITE POSSIBLY THE ENTIRE WORLD,

IS BEING OVERRUN BY ALIENS.

I BELIEVE THIS MAY BE
THE GREATEST THREAT

WE'VE EVER FACED
AS A NATION.

WE HAVE TO ACT.

WE HAVE TO ACT NOW.

BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

YOU'RE PARANOID.
NO, SIR.

UNDERSTANDABLY DISTRESSED.

I SEE A THREAT.

YOU SEE
DELUSIONS.
I BEG
YOUR PARDON, SIR!

THIS HEARING IS OVER.

GOODBYE.

DR. STRONG,
WHAT DOES THIS

HAVE TO DO
WITH YOU?

THE MAN IN THE TAPE,
THE ONE WHO SHOT THE CHAIRMAN,

HE WAS MY BROTHER RANDAL.

HE WAS INSTITUTIONALIZED AFTER
TESTIFYING TO THAT COMMITTEE.

HE HASN'T
SPOKEN A WORD SINCE.

AND WE'VE OBTAINED
ARMY MEDICAL RECORDS

INDICATING THAT YOUR BROTHER
WAS AN UNSTABLE INDIVIDUAL.

HE'S SUFFERING FROM
PARANOID DELUSIONS

AND POST-TRAUMATIC
STRESS DISORDER.

RANDAL
HAD HIS PROBLEMS.

IT WAS NO SECRET.

THERE ARE SIMILAR FILES ON YOU.

THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME OUT
TO BE SOME LUNATIC

SO THAT PEOPLE WILL THINK
EVERYTHING I'M TELLING YOU

IS SOME TWISTED ATTEMPT
AT REVENGE BY AN UNSTABLE MAN

WHO BLAMES THE GOVERNMENT
FOR THE LOSS OF HIS BROTHER.

IF NOT REVENGE, THEN WHAT IS
YOUR MOTIVE FOR COMING FORWARD?

BECAUSE OF WHAT I SAW.

I WAS PART OF
A MILITARY RESEARCH TEAM,

A PROJECT TO TRANSFORM HUMANS
INTO ALIEN LIFEFORMS.

AND WHEN YOU SAY ALIEN,
YOU MEAN EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL.

YES, IT WAS
PURELY THEORETICAL AT FIRST.

EVERYBODY TREATED IT
KIND OF LIKE A JOKE.

THEN IT STOPPED BEING FUNNY.

WE HAVE
SOME SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE

FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
FILES.

YOU SHOULD WATCH THIS.

( Dr. Avery Strong )
WE WERE GIVEN A SAMPLE
OF ALIEN DNA.

AND WE IMPLANTED

THE GENETIC MATERIAL
IN A VOLUNTEER.

AT LEAST
I THINK HE WAS A VOLUNTEER.

HE STARTED TO CHANGE
IN SMALL WAYS AT FIRST.

THEN IT ACCELERATED.

( groaning )

HE WAS IN A LOT OF PAIN.

I DIDN'T KILL ANYONE!
YOU HEAR ME?!

YOU CAN'T TOUCH MY SOUL!

GOD KNOWS.

( alarm sounding )

HE NEARLY DIED...

MORE THAN ONCE.

SET!
CLEAR!

AFTER A WHILE... IT WAS HARD
EVEN TO LOOK HIM IN THE EYE.

SERGEANT,
I'M DR. STRONG.

I'M HERE
TO TEST YOUR...

SENSORY ACCUITY.

YOUR HEARING.

THAT'S INCREDIBLE.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US
ABOUT IT BEFORE?

NEVER SHOW
YOUR ADVANTAGE
TO THE ENEMY.

WE'RE NOT...

I'M
NOT YOUR ENEMY.

THERE IS A REASON
BEHIND THIS.

THERE HAS TO BE.

WE'VE ALL GOT
JOBS TO DO.

WHAT IS YOURS?

THEY NEVER TOLD US WHY
WE WERE DOING IT OR WHAT FOR.

THEN THEY TOLD US
TO FORGET IT EVER HAPPENED.

YES...
WELL, OF COURSE

YOU COULDN'T
FORGET THAT.

I COULDN'T GET THE IMAGE
OF THAT MAN OUT OF MY MIND.

I HAD TO KNOW WHY.

I STILL HAD
MY SECURITY CLEARANCE.

I STARTED
LOOKING AROUND

IN PLACES
I SHOULDN'T HAVE.

IT TOOK YEARS
TO PUT IT TOGETHER,

BUT I'M CONVINCED
THAT THIS PROJECT

WAS JUST ANOTHER STEP
IN PERFECTING PHYSICAL

TRANSFORMATION TECHNIQUES
ON HUMAN BEINGS.

THE TERRIFYING REASON WHY
IN JUST A MOMENT.

( ♪ )

PUT THIS TOGETHER
FOR US, DOCTOR.

YOU BEGIN
WITH RAW GENETIC MATERIAL,

LIVING OR EVEN DEAD.

THEN YOU REGENERATE THE CELLS,
REBUILD THE TISSUE,

ACCELERATE THE CELL GROWTH,

SHAPE IT
TO WHATEVER FORM YOU WANT.

AND THEN YOU REPROGRAM
THE NEURAL PATHWAYS.

AND YOU GET?

A REPLACEMENT
FOR ANYONE YOU WANT...

HUMAN LIKE A CLONE,
BUT BETTER BECAUSE YOU CAN

MAKE IT THINK AND ACT AND TALK

THIS WILL SHOW THE GOVERNMENT'S
SECRET CLONING FACILITIES.

UH, SANDRA, PLEASE.

( Dr. Strong )
THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF BABIES,

CLONES IN VARIOUS STAGES
OF DEVELOPMENT

EVERYWHERE I LOOKED.

IT WAS LIKE LIVESTOCK,
RAW MATERIAL.

IT WAS HORRIBLE.

WE ARE EN ROUTE TO THAT FACILITY
AT THIS VERY MOMENT.

WE'LL CONFRONT
THE PEOPLE WHO RUN IT

AND FIND OUT IF THEY TRULY
HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE.

WE'LL TAKE A BREAK NOW.

PLEASE STAY WITH US.

AND WE'RE CLEAR.

THEY'LL NEVER
LET US IN, DONALD.

LET THEM
EXPLAIN THAT

TO A NATIONAL
TELEVISION AUDIENCE.

THIS ISN'T
AN ALIEN AUTOPSY HOAX.

THIS IS REAL.

PLEASE...
THAT MAKES PEOPLE NERVOUS.

IT'S DESIGNED TO DO THAT.

THAT ATTITUDE
PUT YOUR BROTHER AWAY.

RANDAL DID WHAT WAS NECESSARY.
SO WILL I.

YOU ALREADY ARE, AVERY.

PLEASE, ALL OF US ARE.

I'M SORRY... SORRY.

HOW MUCH FURTHER
IS IT TO THE LAB?

WE SHOULD
HAVE BEEN THERE BY NOW.

WE LOSE NETWORK FEED
IN 15 MINUTES.

THEY WON'T CUT AWAY
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS.

I'LL CUT IN LIVE
WHEN WE GET TO THE LAB.

WE OWE THE AFFILIATES
ANOTHER COMMERCIAL.

I'LL HAVE THEM RUN PSAs...

( brakes screeching )

WHAT'S GOING ON UP THERE?!

WE'VE LOST OUR
SATELLITE UPLINK.

HOW DO WE GET IT BACK?

I DON'T KNOW.

THE BOARD LOOKS FINE.

THE PROBLEM DIDN'T
COME FROM HERE.

THERE'S SOMETHING
VERY WRONG HERE.

WAIT! WAIT!
WE'RE BACK.

OKAY, LET'S GO.

IN FIVE, FOUR,

THREE...

AS PROMISED,
WE ARE STILL REPORTING...

DONALD, WAIT.

THIS ISN'T
OUR SIGNAL.

WHAT?

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, SOMETHING
TERRIBLE HAS HAPPENED HERE.

AVERY STRONG LIED TO ME,
LIED TO ALL OF US.

AND EVERYTHING HE SAID,
EVERYTHING HE SHOWED US

HAS TURNED OUT TO BE
A FABRICATION, A HOAX.

EVERYTHING
YOU HAVE SEEN,

EVERYTHING
YOU'VE HEARD...

DID YOU GO TO TAPE?

NO.

I NEVER
RECORDED ANY OF THIS STUFF.

A DERANGED MAN,

JUST
A VERY SICK MIND.

IT'S ALL IN HIS SUICIDE NOTE.

UH, AVERY STRONG IS DEAD.

AND, UM... KILLED HIMSELF.

IT ALL HAPPENED
SO FAST.

HE WENT
ABSOLUTELY CRAZY.

HE JUST
STARTED SHOOTING.

AND IN THE PROCESS,
SHOT MY PRODUCER, MY CREW.

ONLY MY DRIVER AND I

GOT OUT IN TIME.

AND, UM, I... I CAN
ONLY ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY

FOR THIS TRAGEDY.

I'VE NOTIFIED THE AUTHORITIES.

THEY SHOULD BE HERE SHORTLY.

UH...

AND TO YOU,
THE AUDIENCE,

I CAN ONLY
APOLOGIZE

FOR BEING GULLIBLE.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER.

I'M A PROFESSIONAL,
AND, UH, I'M SORRY

TO YOU
AND TO THESE GOOD PEOPLE.

I'M SO...

I'M SORRY.

THAT, UM...

( Rivers )
WHO'S THERE?

WHO ARE YOU?

I'M NOT GOING LIKE RANDAL.

( Sandra )
OH, MY GOD!

YOU WERE TELLING THE TRUTH.

NO HARD FEELINGS.

THERE'S PLENTY MORE
WHERE HE CAME FROM.

YOU'RE ONE HELL
OF A REPORTER, DONALD.

THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN
THE STORY OF A LIFETIME.

DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU DO NOW.

THE PEOPLE SAW EVERYTHING.

OH, BUT THEY DIDN'T SEE ENOUGH.

AND BY TOMORROW,
THEY'LL BE STARTING TO FORGET.

BECAUSE AS IMPORTANT AS YOU ARE
AND AS INFLUENTIAL

AS YOUR PROGRAM
IS...

IN THE END

IT'S JUST A TV SHOW.

AND YOU'VE BEEN REPLACED.

( gunshots )

( control voice )
WE RELY UPON OTHERS

TO INFORM US,
BUT WISDOM CAN NEVER BE TAUGHT.

AND WE MUST ALWAYS DECIDE
THE TRUTH FOR OURSELVES.
