BERNARD,

( creaking )

( footsteps )

WHO IS IT?

WHO'S THERE?

HELLO, BERNARD,

GO AWAY,

YOU GO AWAY,

NO,

WHAT MAKES YOU THINK

YOU HAVE ANY MORE RIGHT

TO BE HERE THAN I DO?

I'M SORRY,

LEAVE ME ALONE,

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO,

KILL ME?

LIKE YOU KILLED

YOUR LITTLE SISTER?

ARE YOU GOING

TO SET ME ON FIRE

LIKE YOU DID MIMI?

I DIDN'T MEAN IT!

YOU'RE A SNIVELLING

LITTLE COWARD,

THAT'S ALL YOU ARE, BERNARD, ,,

AND A BABY KILLER,

NO!

YES, YES, YES,

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DO

TO BABY KILLERS, BERNARD?

PYROMANIAC

BABY KILLERS?

NO, NO!

LET THE PUNISHMENT

FIT THE CRIME,

( laughter )

( siren wailing )

( laughter )

THAT OF ALL THE EMOTIONS,

( Control Voice )

THERE EXPERIENCE TEACHES

FEAR STANDS ALONE

IN ITS POWER TO MOVE US

OR TO CAPTURE US

IN ITS GRIP FOREVER,

MORNING,

( horn honking )

( car alarm blaring )

HELLO, BERNARD,

( rock music playing )

BERNARD,

( Doctor )

BERNARD SELDON, 27,

SUFFERED A TRAUMA AT AGE 6

FROM WHICH HE NEVER RECOVERED,

IN THE MIDST

OF A RAGING TANTRUM,

HE STARTED A FIRE

IN HIS ORPHANAGE

WHICH RESULTED IN THE DEATH

OF HIS 4-YEAR-OLD SISTER,

BERNARD,

YOU HAD US WORRIED,

WE WEREN'T SURE

YOU WERE GOING TO MAKE IT,

( Doctor )

IN ALL MY YEARS

OF STUDYING MOOD DISORDERS,

I HAVE NEVER SEEN A PATIENT

SO CRIPPLED BY HIS PHOBIAS,

BERNARD LIVES

IN A WORLD

FILLED WITH CHRONIC, PERNICIOUS

HALLUCINATORY TERRORS,

AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT,

HE'S BEEN RENDERED

EFFECTIVELY DYSFUNCTIONAL,

YOU'VE GOT

TO WONDER,

WHAT IS HE

SEEING?

SO FAR

HE'S BEEN IMPERVIOUS

TO CONVENTIONAL

SOMATIC THERAPIES,

AND YOU REALLY THINK

YOU CAN HELP THIS MAN,

DR, OSGOOD,

IF THIS PROCEDURE

LIVES UP TO

ITS PROMISE,

WE WILL BE ABLE

TO HELP HIM

VANQUISH HIS FEARS

FOREVER,

JUST RELAX NOW,

THE SEDATIVE SHOULD BE

TAKING EFFECT,

BERNARD'S LIFE IS DOMINATED

BY FEAR,

HE LURCHES FROM ONE PANIC ATTACK

TO THE NEXT,

IT'S THESE ATTACKS,

OFTEN ACCOMPANIED

BY CATASTROPHIC MIGRAINES

THAT DR, PIKE'S PROCEDURE

IS DESIGNED

TO SIGNIFICANTLY MODERATE,

AND WITH LUCK,

ELIMINATE ALTOGETHER,

( Dr, Pike )

AS MOST OF YOU ARE AWARE,

THE AMYGDALA IS LOCATED HERE,

DEEP IN THE LIMBIC SYSTEM,

EXCUSE ME, MR, McKENNA,

THE ANATOMY LESSON'S UP HERE,

THE AMYGDALA BEING

THE REPOSITORY

OF WHAT, MR, McKENNA?

THE BRAIN'S FEAR CONDITIONING

MECHANISM,

INDEED, AMONG OTHER THINGS,

NOW, YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED

THAT THE PATIENT'S AMYGDALA IS

GROSSLY ENLARGED,

WHICH MAY SUGGEST

AN ORGANIC COMPONENT

TO HIS HYPER-FEARFUL STATE,

THE E, E, G, EVEN DETECTED

A MILD ELECTRICAL DISCHARGE,

NOW, FOR YEARS, WE HAVE OBSERVED

A RARE MEDICAL CONDITION,

FOR REASONS

WE HAVE YET TO UNDERSTAND

THE AMYGDALA CAN BECOME ENCASED

IN A THIN CALCIUM SHELL,

NOW, THE INDIVIDUALS

TO WHOM THIS OCCURS

SEEM TO LOSE THEIR ABILITY

TO FEEL FEAR,

IN A CONVENTIONAL SENSE,

OR EVEN TO RECOGNIZE IT

IN OTHERS,

UTTERLY FEARLESS...

THE POLAR OPPOSITE OF THE

PATIENT'S PSYCHOLOGICAL STATE,

TODAY WE'RE GOING

TO GIVE BERNARD

THE FIRST OF A SERIES

OF INJECTIONS

OF A CONCENTRATE

OF ANTIBODIES

TAKEN PREMORTEM

FROM ONE SUCH PATIENT,

OUR ANIMAL STUDIES HAVE SHOWN

THAT THESE ANTIBODIES

TRIGGER THE ENCAPSULATION

OF THE AMYGDALA

AND WE HOPE,

IN BERNARD'S CASE,

CONTROL HIS TENDENCY

TO BE OVERWHELMED BY FEAR,

WE HAVE FOUND A WAY

TO DRAMATICALLY ACCELERATE

THAT PROCESS

BY IRRADIATING THE BRAIN

WITH AN ATTENUATED PHASE E, M, P,

WE ANTICIPATE A SERIES

OF THREE TO FIVE INJECTIONS

AND RADIATION TREATMENTS

OVER A PERIOD

OF TWO TO THREE WEEKS,

PREPARE TO IRRADIATE,

E, M, P, CALIBRATIONS

200 ROENTGENS,

BEGIN RADIATION,

INCREASE

TO 400 ROENTGENS,

END RADIATION,

BERNARD,

I JUST WANT TO REMIND YOU

THAT EVEN IF

EVERYTHING GOES PERFECTLY,

YOU PROBABLY WON'T NOTICE

ANY SIGNIFICANT CHANGE

FOR A WHILE, ALL RIGHT?

YO, BERNIE,

HOW'S MY MAN?

WHAT'S THE MATTER?

YOU DON'T SAY HI TO A BUD?

YOU'RE NOT MY FRIEND,

YOU HEAR THAT,

GUYS?

BERNIE HERE DON'T LIKE US,

I THINK MAYBE HE NEEDS

A LESSON IN RESPECT,

YOU DON'T WANT TO MESS WITH ME,

YOU KNOW,

I THINK WE UNDERSTAND

EACH OTHER, BERNARD,

( laughing )

HI, BERNARD,

WHAT'S WRONG?

ARE YOU

ALL RIGHT?

I'M JUST A LITTLE

WINDED, THAT'S ALL,

HEY, LISTEN, UH,

I'M MAKING LASAGNA TONIGHT

AND THERE'S PROBABLY

GOING TO BE SOME LEFTOVERS,

SO, UM, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY

FREEZE IT,

I'M ALWAYS THROWING AWAY

MOLDY FOOD,

UM, THANKS FOR THE TIP,

( knocking )

HI,

UH, I'M GOING FOR A WALK

IN THE PARK

AND I WAS WONDERING

IF YOU WANTED TO COME,

YEAH, I WOULD,

CAN I FINISH

THIS FIRST?

SURE,

THIS PARK IS THE WHOLE REASON

I TOOK THE APARTMENT,

I MEAN, THE SINKS DRIP,

THE ROOF LEAKS,

I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU,

BUT I CAN'T GET THEM TO FIX

A DAMN THING,

I DON'T EVEN HAVE

A SMOKE ALARM,

IF YOU ASK ME, THE WHOLE PLACE

IS A FIRE TRAP,

I HAD A FIRE,

BUT IT WASN'T REAL,

HAVE YOU BEEN LIVING

ON YOUR OWN LONG?

A LONG TIME,

ME TOO,

I PREFER IT,

ACTUALLY,

DO YOU LIKE

ANIMALS?

THEY'RE OKAY,

I WAS GOING

TO BE A VET,

IT DIDN'T WORK OUT,

DID YOU KNOW

THAT THERE ARE

OVER 200 KINDS

OF PIGEONS?

I'VE GOT SOME,

I'M RAISING THEM,

IN YOUR PLACE?

ON THE ROOF,

I'LL SHOW YOU

SOMETIME,

I'M AFRAID

TO GO UP THERE,

NO, I'LL TAKE YOU,

IT'S NICE,

DON'T LOOK UP,

WHAT?

OH, BERNIE GOT

HIMSELF A GIRL,

JUST IGNORE HIM,

HEY, WHO'S THE BABE,

BERNIE?

AREN'T YOU GOING

TO INTRODUCE US?

HEY,

LEAVE HIM ALONE,

COME ON, BERNARD,

NOW YOU TELL THE TRUTH,

DOES SHE PUT OUT, HMM?

OH, I BET

SHE'S A REAL

SCREAMER,

SHUT UP, BLANCO,

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?

PUNK!

HEY, YOU BETTER

WATCH YOURSELF,

ASSWIPE,

'CAUSE I GOT PLANS FOR YOU,

BIG PLANS,

BIG PLANS!

BIG PLANS!

( laughing )

( thunder )

THAT HURT?

NO,

A LITTLE,

THAT GUY'S A CREEP,

I SAW HIM

HARASSING OTHERS

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD,

AT LEAST HE DIDN'T STAB ME

THIS TIME,

HE STABBED YOU?

IN MY HEAD,

IN MY MIND,

REPENT YE, SINNERS!

OR YOU SHALL BURN!

REPENT YE, SINNERS,

OR PREPARE TO BURN!

A LOT OF THINGS GO ON

IN YOUR HEAD, DON'T THEY?

EVER SINCE I WAS A KID,

BUT THEY'RE TRYING TO FIX IT,

I KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE

AFRAID OF YOUR OWN THOUGHTS,

YOU DO?

THAT'S WHY I HAD TO DROP OUT

OF VET SCHOOL,

I SPENT SIX MONTHS

IN GLEN ELLEN,

THE PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL,

HOW DID THEY CURE YOU?

THEY DIDN'T

CURE ME,

I CURED ME,

I JUST GOT SICK AND TIRED

OF BEING SICK AND TIRED,

THAT'S KIND OF FUNNY,

YOU THINK SO,

HUH?

THIS

BLUISH AREA HERE,

THAT'S

THE CALCIUM SHELL,

AS YOU CAN SEE,

IT HAS ENCLOSED

ALMOST HALF THE MASS

OF THE AMYGDALA,

SO IT'S WORKING,

IT'S LOOKING GOOD

SO FAR, BERNARD,

HAVE YOU NOTICED

ANY CHANGES?

I'M NOT SURE,

I THINK SO,

THE PANIC ATTACKS?

I HAVEN'T HAD

A BAD ONE

SINCE TUESDAY,

AFTER MR, WILKES

TRIED TO BURN ME,

MR, WILKES?

OH, THE TALL,

GRAY-HAIRED MAN,

ANY FEELINGS OF ANGER?

NOT REALLY,

I STILL GET THE MIGRAINES, ,,

AND REAL CLAUSTROPHOBIC,

I DON'T THINK I'M EVER GOING

TO BE OKAY IN AN ELEVATOR,

BUT I MET SOMEBODY

I REALLY LIKE,

HER NAME IS LISA,

WE WENT

FOR A WALK,

AND WE'RE GOING TO EAT DINNER

TOGETHER SOMETIME,

THAT'S, THAT'S VERY ENCOURAGING,

BERNARD,

WELL, WHO KNOWS?

MAYBE A COUPLE MORE

AND YOU'LL BE DONE,

DO THEY HAVE NAMES?

NO, NOT REALLY,

I DON'T PERSONALLY BELIEVE

IN NAMING ANIMALS,

I HEARD THAT PIGEONS

CARRY LOTS OF GERMS,

OH, THAT'S AN URBAN MYTH,

RIGHT, GUYS?

YOU WANT TO HOLD ONE?

NO THANKS,

DO YOU EVER

LET THEM OUT?

YEAH,

ALL THE TIME,

AND THEY COME BACK?

YEAH, THEY'RE

HOMING PIGEONS,

THIS IS THEIR HOME,

THERE WE GO,

COME ON,

GOING TO GO FOR A LITTLE FLY,

LITTLE FLY,

SEE?

THERE YOU GO, LITTLE GUY,

WOW,

SO HIGH!

THOUGHT I'D BE

A LOT MORE SCARED

COMING UP HERE,

YEAH,

I LOVE IT UP HERE,

IT'S LIKE YOU CAN SEE

THE WHOLE WORLD,

BUT THEY CAN'T SEE YOU,

IT'S SO SAFE,

COME HERE,

COME ON, IT'S OKAY,

SEE?

WAS THAT SO BAD?

YOU'RE RIGHT,

IT'S, ,,

WOW,

YOU EVER WISH

YOU COULD FLY?

I CAN,

IN MY HEAD,

BERNARD,

BERNARD, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

DON'T WORRY,

IT'S OKAY,

BERNARD, DON'T,

YOU'RE MAKING ME NERVOUS,

STOP IT, PLEASE,

GET OFF OF THERE,

YOU'RE SCARING ME,

OH, MY GOD,

BERNARD, LISTEN TO ME,

THIS ISN'T FUNNY,

GIVE ME YOUR HAND,

FOR GOD'S SAKES,

BERNARD,

YOU'RE

REALLY SCARING ME,

PLEASE STOP IT,

STOP IT NOW,

IT'S INCREDIBLE!

I'M NOT AFRAID!

IT WAS INCREDIBLE,

I STOOD UP ON THAT ROOF

AND I DIDN'T FEEL AFRAID,

I'M A LITTLE WORRIED

THAT YOU'RE MAYBE

PUSHING YOURSELF TOO HARD,

BUT I FEEL REALLY GOOD,

EVERYTHING'S GOING OKAY,

ISN'T IT?

HAVE YOU NOTICED

ANY UNUSUAL SIDE EFFECTS?

WELL, I STILL HAVE

THE HEADACHES,

ANY OTHER PHYSICAL SENSATIONS...

TINGLING, MUSCLE TWITCHES?

NOT REALLY,

WELL, MAYBE WHEN

THAT BULLY GRABBED ME,

I COULD FEEL

ALL THIS ENERGY

RUSHING THROUGH ME,

WHEN YOU WERE

FRIGHTENED,

WHEN I WAS ANGRY,

SO YOU HAVE BEEN FEELING

INCREASED ANGER,

JUST THAT ONE TIME,

BERNARD,

THERE IS NO QUESTION

THAT YOU ARE MAKING

EXCELLENT PROGRESS,

BUT WE MIGHT WANT

TO WAIT A WHILE

BEFORE

WE MOVE FORWARD

WITH THIS NEXT ROUND

OF TREATMENTS

JUST TO LET YOUR BODY ADJUST

TO SOME OF THE CHANGES,

BUT YOU SAID, ,,

THAT PART OF MY BRAIN,

THE FEAR PART,

WASN'T CLOSED UP YET,

THAT'S TRUE,

BUT THERE MAY BE

SOME UNNECESSARY RISKS

IN CLOSING IT

COMPLETELY,

I WANT TO FINISH

THE TREATMENTS,

I HAVE THINGS

I WANT TO DO,

THINGS I HAVE TO DO,

WE'LL HAVE

AN EVALUATION PERIOD

AND THEN WE'LL MAKE

OUR BEST JUDGMENT,

BUT WHAT IF IT STARTS

BREAKING APART?

WHAT IF THE FEARS

COME BACK?

WHAT IF WILKES COMES AFTER ME?

THERE'S NO REASON TO BELIEVE

THAT THAT WILL HAPPEN,

BUT YOU'RE NOT SURE!

YOU'VE GOT

TO TRUST US,

WE WANT THIS TO WORK

AS MUCH AS YOU DO, BERNARD,

ALL RIGHT?

ALL RIGHT,

HOW MUCH FOR

THIS FLOWER?

FOR YOU, HALF OFF,

ARE THEY FOR

ANYONE SPECIAL?

FOR SOMEONE

VERY SPECIAL,

I HAD ANOTHER

TREATMENT TODAY,

WELL, WHATEVER IT IS,

IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING,

THERE'S A MILLION THINGS

I WANT TO DO, LISA,

HOW ABOUT BUYING ME LUNCH,

FOR STARTERS?

GOT TO BE BACK

IN HALF AN HOUR,

TWO HOT DOGS,

PLEASE,

WHAT'S WRONG?

BERNARD,

IT'S NOTHING,

I'M FINE,

HELP!

SOMEBODY HELP ME!

HELP! ALEX!

WHAT'S WRONG?

WHAT'S WRONG?

HELP ME!

MY SON!

HE'S FALLEN DOWN HERE,

( boy )

MOMMY, IT HURTS,

HE'S HURT!

OKAY,

YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY,

UM, UM, ,,

DO SOMETHING, PLEASE!

DO SOMETHING!

PLEASE!

HOLD ON!

I'M GOING TO COME GET YOU!

ALL RIGHT,

IT'S OKAY,

I'M GOING

TO COME GET YOU,

GET A ROPE

OR SOMETHING,

HELP ME,

IT REALLY HURTS,

( mother )

HANG ON, HONEY,

THIS MAN'S COMING

TO HELP YOU,

YOU'RE GOING TO BE

ALL RIGHT,

OW!

OW, MOMMY,

IT HURTS!

HANG ON, HONEY,

HURRY! HELP ME,

I'M GOING TO GET YOU

OUT OF HERE, OKAY?

OKAY, YOU'RE ALL RIGHT, OKAY?

OKAY,

CAN YOU STAND THERE?

BERNARD,

I'M SCARED,

I KNOW,

I AM TOO,

( mother )

IT'S OKAY, ALEX,

YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT,

OKAY,

LIFT YOUR ARMS UP,

WE'RE GOING TO GET YOU

OUT OF HERE,

OKAY,

( Lisa )

OKAY, BERNARD,

WE GOT HIM,

THERE'S THE CREEP!

HEY, BERNIE,

WHAT YOU BEEN DOING,

PLAYING IN THE MUD?

LEAVE ME ALONE,

THAT'S NO WAY

TO TALK TO THE GUY

WHO'S BEEN

PROTECTING YOU,

PROTECTING ME?

FROM WHAT?

FROM THIS,

LAY A HAND ON ME AGAIN,

I'LL MAKE YOUR LIFE

A LIVING HELL,

TELL HIM TO PUT IT AWAY,

PUT IT AWAY,

THIS GUY'S A JOKE,

PUT IT AWAY,

WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON,

BLANCO?

YOU GOING TO LET HIM GET AWAY

WITH THIS CRAP?

TO HELL WITH YOU,

I'M SORRY, IT SOUNDS

AWFULLY FAR-FETCHED,

OH, COME ON, MILES,

THERE'S NOTHING

IN THE LITERATURE

THAT BEGINS TO ACCOUNT

FOR WHAT WE'RE SEEING,

I'VE RUN A BATTERY

OF BRAIN SCANS,

EVERY NEUROLOGICAL TEST,

JUST LIKE YOU ASKED,

THERE'S NO OTHER WAY

TO ACCOUNT FOR IT,

I AGREE THERE

SEEMS TO BE

AN EXCESS ELECTRICAL

ENERGY ACCUMULATING

IN THE LIMBIC REGION,

BUT I'M A LONG WAY

FROM ACCEPTING

YOUR INTERPRETATION

OF THEIR RELEASE,

WELL,

THINK ABOUT IT,

WE'VE KNOWN FOR YEARS

THAT ONE ANIMAL

CAN PALPABLY SENSE

FEAR IN ANOTHER,

THIS IS JUST A REVERSE

OF THAT MECHANISM,

BERNARD'S BRAIN HAS

SOMEHOW MANAGED TO TRANSMIT,

TO INSTILL FEAR

IN ANOTHER HUMAN BEING,

I'M HEARING CONJECTURE,

NOT HARD SCIENCE,

I KNOW IT'S ANECDOTAL,

BUT IT'S FIRST-HAND,

I'M TELLING YOU,

I FELT IT,

HE REACHED INTO THE DEEPEST

CORNER OF MY OWN FEAR,

ARE YOU TELLING ME

THAT SPECIFIC IMAGERY

IS BEING PASSED ON

IN THIS TRANSMISSION?

ALL I KNOW IS

IT HAPPENED TO ME,

THE CALCIUM SHELL

MAY ACTUALLY BE ALLOWING

THE CHARGE TO BUILD UP,

THE ENERGY EMISSIONS EXPELLED

THROUGH THIS FISSURE,

THEY MUST HAVE BEEN ABSORBED

BY DR, PIKE'S AMYGDALA,

WHAT ARE YOU

PROPOSING

BE DONE WITH

YOUR PATIENT?

EVERY TIME THAT BERNARD

EXPLODES IN ANGER,

THIS FISSURE CAN WIDEN,

MAYBE IRRETRIEVABLY,

THERE'S NO TELLING

THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DAMAGE

THAT HE CAN DO,

BOTH TO HIMSELF AND TO OTHERS,

WE CLOSE THE FISSURE,

WE CAN STOP THE DISCHARGE,

THERE IS MORE RISK

TO NON-INTERVENTION

THAN IN RESUMING TREATMENT,

I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT,

BUT, ,,

SOMETHING'S CHANGED,

SOMETHING BIG,

YOU'RE LOSING YOUR FEARS,

THAT'S WHAT'S

SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN,

YES, BUT I'VE ALSO

GAINED SOMETHING,

THERE'S A REASON

THOSE BULLIES

RAN AWAY FROM ME,

I DID SOMETHING

TO THEM,

SOMETHING

THAT I CONTROL,

YOU BELIEVE ME,

RIGHT?

OF COURSE

I BELIEVE YOU,

I'M JUST WORRIED,

THAT'S ALL,

YOU THINK

I'M NOT REALLY BETTER?

THAT I COULD

GET SICK AGAIN?

NO, THAT'S NOT IT,

WELL, WHAT THEN?

THE LAST TIME I WAS

THIS CLOSE TO SOMEONE,

I GOT HURT,

I GOT REALLY HURT,

I'M WORRIED

THAT I MIGHT BE,

YOU KNOW, FALLING

IN LOVE WITH YOU,

( knocking )

JUST A SECOND, BERNARD,

SURPRISE!

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?

LISA?

GONNA REPORT ME

TO YOUR BOYFRIEND?

WAIT TILL HE FINDS OUT

HE'S BEEN DATING A WHORE!

LEAVE HER ALONE!

YEAH, I'LL GET

TO HER LATER,

FIRST I'M GOING TO

CUT YOU IN HALF,

WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?

I WARNED YOU,

BUT YOU WOULDN'T LISTEN,

NO, PLEASE,

GET OUT OF HERE,

GET OUT!

IF YOU HADN'T

GOTTEN HERE, ,,

IF I HADN'T STOPPED,

I DON'T KNOW,

I COULD HAVE KILLED HIM,

WAS THAT YOUR FIRST TIME?

UH-HUH,

WHAT IS IT?

WHAT ARE YOU

SEEING?

IT'S THE FIRE I STARTED,

THE ONE THAT KILLED MIMI,

NEVER SAW IT

SO CLEARLY BEFORE,

HOW DO YOU KNOW

YOU STARTED IT?

YOU WERE SO YOUNG,

HE TOLD ME, OVER AND OVER,

THE GUY WITH

THE GRAY HAIR,

MR, WILKES,

HE RAN THE ORPHANAGE,

YOU KNOW,

WHEN I WAS AT

THE PSYCHIATRIC

HOSPITAL,

I SAW HOW THEY USED

THIS HYPNOSIS,

NO, WE ALREADY TRIED IT,

DOESN'T WORK,

ANYWAY, I DON'T WANT

TO REMEMBER,

WELL, MAYBE

THAT'S THE PROBLEM,

THE TREATMENT SEEMS TO BE

INCREASING HIS RECALL,

HE WANTS TO BE HYPNOTIZED,

THIS TIME

IT MIGHT WORK,

YOU KNOW THE RISK,

ONE POWERFUL EMOTIONAL OUTBURST

AND HIS AMYGDALA CASING

COULD BE RUPTURED BEYOND REPAIR,

HE'D BE RIGHT BACK

WHERE HE STARTED AGAIN,

HE'S STILL A PRISONER

OF HIS PAST,

WE HAVE TO TRY

AND FREE HIM,

I WANT YOU TO TRY

AGAIN, BERNARD,

GO BACK

TO THAT DAY,

THE DAY

YOUR SISTER DIED,

CAN YOU DO THAT

FOR ME?

I SAW HER,

I SAW THE FLAMES,

SHE WASN'T MOVING,

THE FIRE WAS EVERYWHERE,

HOW DID THE FIRE

START?

I DON'T KNOW,

THEY TOLD ME I WAS VERY...

FORGET WHAT

THEY TOLD YOU,

JUST TELL ME

WHAT YOU SEE,

MIMI?

MIMI?

I'M LOOKING FOR MIMI,

NOBODY CAN FIND HER,

I THINK, ,,

NO,

GO AHEAD, BERNARD,

I DO,

I HEAR SCREAMING,

I SMELL SMOKE,

I SEE THE FLAMES,

THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO,

THE FIRE,

WHEN YOU WENT DOWN THE STAIRS,

WAS IT ALREADY GOING?

YES, ,,

YES, IT WAS ALREADY BURNING,

WAS IT A FIRE THAT

YOU STARTED, BERNARD?

NO,

I DIDN'T DO IT,

IT WASN'T ME,

IT WASN'T ME,

IT WASN'T ME!

HE LIED,

IT WASN'T ME,

IT WASN'T ME,

IT WASN'T ME,

IT WASN'T ME,

IT WASN'T ME,

DR, PIKE

SEEMS TO THINK

YOU MADE

A BIG BREAKTHROUGH,

HUH?

DR, PIKE,

♪ YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE ♪

IT'S HIM,

♪ YOU SHOULDN'T BE HERE ♪

THAT'S HIM,

I DON'T THINK IT'S WHO

YOU THINK IT IS, BERNARD,

IT'S NOT WHO

YOU THINK IT IS,

I GOT A LEAK

TO FIX HERE,

YOU FOLKS MIGHT WANT TO GO

SOMEWHERE ELSE,

IT'S THE SUPER,

HE CAME TO FIX

THE ROOF,

WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?

I WANT IT TO STOP,

WE'VE GOT TO FIND

THAT WILKES GUY,

HE BLAMED YOU FOR

SOMETHING YOU NEVER DID,

UNTIL

YOU TELL HIM THAT

YOU'LL NEVER BE

FREE OF HIM,

HE'S PROBABLY DEAD

BY NOW,

BUT IF YOU KNEW THAT

FOR SURE,

I DON'T THINK HE'D

HAUNT YOU ANYMORE,

I DON'T THINK

I COULD STAND TO FACE HIM,

WOULD YOU

RATHER SEE HIM

ONE MORE TIME

IN THE FLESH

OR AS A PHANTOM

EVERY DAY OF YOUR LIFE?

WOW,

AFTER

ALL THIS TIME

I CAN'T BELIEVE

IT'S STILL HERE,

MIMI,

COME ON, BERNARD,

WE'VE COME THIS FAR,

CAREFUL, KID,

THEY'RE SLIPPERY,

IS THAT HIM?

NO,

EXCUSE ME, WE'RE LOOKING

FOR A MR, WILKES,

WE WERE TOLD

HE STILL RUNS THIS PLACE?

I'M HAROLD WILKES,

YOU'RE MR, WILKES?

NO, IT'S NOT HIM,

LOOK, IF YOU DON'T HAVE

BUSINESS HERE, ,,

THIS IS

BERNARD SELDON,

IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN

SOMETHING TO ME?

HE WAS

IN THIS ORPHANAGE

20 YEARS AGO,

IT'S NOT HIM,

NO, THAT'S NOT WILKES,

MAYBE YOU REMEMBER THE FIRE,

THE ONE THAT KILLED MIMI SELDON,

MY GOD,

YOU BLAMED A 6-YEAR-OLD,

YOU SAID HE KILLED HIS SISTER,

HE SAID SO HIMSELF,

HE CONFESSED TO FATHER CLARIDGE,

HE WAS THERE,

ASK HIM YOURSELF

IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME,

HIM,

THAT'S HIM,

IT'S OKAY, BERNARD,

YOU'RE JUST GOING

TO GET YOURSELF UPSET,

NO, I AM TELLING YOU

HE'S THE ONE,

THIS IS BERNARD SELDON,

FATHER CLARIDGE,

THE BOY WHO SET THE BASEMENT

ON FIRE 20 YEARS AGO?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT,

OF COURSE YOU DO,

THE BOY WHO CONFESSED TO YOU,

MIMI,

MIMI, MIMI,

( fabric tearing )

I SAW HIM,

HE WAS STANDING OVER MIMI,

SHE WASN'T MOVING,

HE WAS TEARING RAGS,

HE LIT A FIRE,

THEN HE SAW ME,

COME HERE, BOY,

SHE WOULDN'T STOP

SCREAMING,

SHE WOULDN'T STOP

SCREAMING,

I NEVER MEANT TO HURT HER,

TELL THEM THAT

YOU STARTED THE FIRE

OR I'LL DO THE SAME TO YOU,

I TOLD YOU NOT TO PLAY

WITH MATCHES!

NOW SEE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?

SHE WOULDN'T STOP SCREAMING,

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!

YOU'LL BURN IN HELL FOR THIS!

BERNARD?

PUT THAT DOWN, BERNARD,

GOD WILL FORGIVE YOU,

JUST PUT IT DOWN,

( screaming )

BERNARD,

IT'S GONE,

I CAN FEEL IT,

THE FEAR, THE POWER,

ALL OF IT,

IT'S GONE,

THE LAST TREATMENT

DID IT, BERNARD,

THE AMYGDALA IS NOW

COMPLETELY ENCLOSED,

IT WORKED,

OUR EXPERIMENT

WORKED,

YOU'RE GOING

TO BE OKAY,

THE NIGHTMARES

ARE OVER?

AT LEAST FOR YOU THEY ARE,

( Control Voice )

IN A WORLD OF TERRORS,

THERE IS NOTHING MORE FEARSOME

THAN THE UNKNOWN,

ESPECIALLY WHEN

WHAT IS UNKNOWN IS OURSELVES,
