Fugitive Mind (1999) - full transcript
A man finds out that he was brainwashed to kill an important government official.
My God.
Hey, Dave, how's it going?
Hey, babe.
Hi, hon.
How's your headache?
It's great.
What's cooking.
I thought I'd make kind
of light vegetable thing
tonight because I think I
gained five pounds last week.
Five pounds, where?
I got the pictures back.
They're over there.
Great.
Next time we're going camping.
I thought we were camping out.
We didn't order
room service once.
Look out, Davy Crockett,
here comes Miss Wilderness.
OK, next time you stay in the
tend and I'll going to the Ritz.
Baby, you know what, you don't
even know what you're missing.
It's great exercise
living off the land.
And every night before you
fall asleep under the stars,
you have this great
satisfaction of knowing
you provided for yourself.
The satisfaction I
can easily do without.
How did I ever end up
with such a city slicker
I don't know.
Well, you did.
Well, I did.
So go get washed up, nature
boy, the kill of the day
is going to be
ready in 10 minutes.
A little more salt and pepper.
For the past six
years, Senator John Davis
has done nothing except
take undue credit
for a positive economy, which
he had nothing to do with.
Now, ask yourself this, what exactly
did senator Davis do with all the time
the people of California gave to him?
By my count, nothing.
I believe in judging candidates
not only for what they do,
but for what they don't do.
My name is Mark Putnam, and I
would like to be California's
next United States senator.
Well, there you have it.
That's how we're getting
licked in the polls.
I wouldn't worry too much.
We're only down three
points, and I have an idea.
I can tell by
looking at this guy
that there's something in his
past that we can glom onto.
Jimmy, I don't want to get
into a mud slinging match here.
What then?
This campaign's coming
up on us in no time,
and I don't want to
have to play catch up.
Now, I said, we spend some money
and throw it right back at him.
That's not what people want.
In a way that cupcake is right.
The people want the action.
They want lower taxes and
better incentive programs.
The last thing they want is state and federal
subsidies going to private companies.
Here we go again.
Why don't we get rid of
big business completely.
Of course, we wouldn't be able
to run a campaign because there
wouldn't be any money.
There has to be some
compromise somewhere.
I'm not talking
about all big business,
but a well-chosen battle
fought for the right reasons.
It'll cost us.
Well, like you said, there's
going to be some compromise.
God.
My God, you're drenched.
Honey, it's OK.
I hate this.
What's wrong?
I don't know.
What is it that you see?
Tell me.
I don't know.
Hey, Tony.
Robert.
How ya doing?
How ya doing?
Marty says you guys
are having some problems
with the sonic system.
What's the problem?
Damn PID keeps misidentifying
personnel and tripping
the alarm without warning.
Do you think you can fix it?
That's exactly my expertise,
but I'll see what I can do?
Excuse me, Mr. Robert Dean?
Yeah.
Hello, I'm Dr. Thomas
Grace, head of the company
health department.
Now you had your employee
physical last week.
Is that correct?
Yeah, last Friday.
Is there a problem?
No, no, no, nothing serious.
No, we just noticed
some irregularities
in your blood tests.
We'd like you to
come to the infirmary
for a followup examination.
Um... how about this
afternoon around about 4:00?
Yeah, that's fine.
Good, 4:00 it is.
Don't forget to cough.
Are you experiencing
any chest pain?
No.
All right.
You can get dressed.
We're going to reprocess
your blood work.
These things get
contaminated very easily.
And I really don't think
there's anything to worry about.
That's good news.
It says here you
don't smoke or drink.
No.
How's your appetite?
Eating well?
Yeah, very well.
And sleeping?
Yeah.
Have you or have
you not been sleeping?
I can't tell you the last
time I had a good night's sleep.
But that's no big deal, right?
Sleep is the best thing we
can do for our bodies, Robert.
It recharges the batteries.
Insomnia is more common
than you think, you know.
But there are ways
of alleviating
stress, revitalizing
our sleep patterns.
I wouldn't say I have insomnia.
What then?
Physical discomfort?
Aches and pain?
Dreams?
Dreams.
Dreams, OK, well dreams
are very interesting, Robert.
They're a window into
our subconscious.
Most people underestimate
their importance.
Do you mind telling you
something about yours?
Well, I don't know.
They're not exactly clear.
I mean, the feeling's clear.
I can't explain it.
OK, well, I don't think there's
anything to worry about.
But I want you to
check in with me
later this week so I can
monitor your condition.
And I want to give
you some sleeping pills,
help you get some rest.
Well, you're the doc.
Well, I'd say
your first few years
have been a great success.
Both Doctor Fordham
and Doctor Grace
have given you high praise.
Your research is unmatched.
Which is why I'd like to offer
you a greater responsibility.
Well, what do you think of that?
Thank you.
That's good enough for me.
Dr. Fordham will fill you
in with all the details.
Congratulations.
Proud of you.
Get to work.
Yes, sir.
How are you doing
tonight, Dr. Foley?
What?
Um... fine, OK, hanging in there.
Just barely from what I can see.
It looks like you
could use a day off.
Yeah.
I wish.
There you go.
Don't work too hard.
I'm hardly working.
Let go.
Let's me go.
No!
Let me go.
No!
Stop it!
No!
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
What's going on?
- Don't.
Robert, what the
hell is going on?
You're scaring me.
You're scaring me too.
Just give me a minute.
Robert?
Let me in.
I want to help.
Robert.
Just a second.
Don't scare me like that.
Sorry.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm scared too.
I want you to get help.
Go talk to that
doctor again tomorrow
and tell him what's happening.
What did you just say?
Nothing.
What?
How did you know
I went to a doctor?
What?
You just told me
I went to a doctor.
I never told you about him.
Yeah you did.
In your sleep.
In my sleep?
And you never mentioned it?
What's going on, Robyn?
I didn't want to frighten you.
Frighten me?
Look at me now.
Robyn, I saw you in my dream.
You were wearing a lab coat.
Robert, you need help.
OK, I swear to you, you told me.
Now let me go.
You're hurting me.
Yeah, you better send someone.
It's urgent.
Yeah, right around the corner.
Now.
Who was that?
Wrong number.
Robyn, that phone never rang.
Honey, I don't
know what's wrong.
And I'm just trying to help.
Who are those guys?
Who are they?
They're here to help you.
He went through there.
Hey, take it easy, buddy.
We don't want to hurt you.
Physically, he's adjusting fine.
Previous abnormalities
are dormant due
to the altered mental state.
He did express some
trouble sleeping.
And he described nocturnal
episodes, which could
represent gaps in the program.
Is there any chance
he could break through?
Well, this is a prototype.
But the imprint is still
the primary occupant.
And even if he experienced
a complete vision,
he has no reference
to substantiate it.
Well, it's hard to believe
it's come down to this.
Are you sure there's
no other way?
I think we've had this
conversation before.
You said it yourself.
Our research is vital
to future generations,
not to mention our
own sacrifices,
all the time and money.
It doesn't make
it easy, does it?
Seeing the problems that our
subject is having, it makes me
wonder if fate is not
trying to tell us something.
That's funny.
Since when does a
man of science take
the time to acknowledge fate?
Keep an eye on him.
Dave.
Dave.
Turn out the lights.
- Who's there?
It's me, Robert.
Can you please turn
out the lights?
Just turn them off.
Dave, I need your help.
They're after me.
Can I come in?
Whoa, whoa, who's after you?
Just let me in.
I got two kids in
there trying to sleep.
I don't appreciate
you coming out here
in the middle of the night.
Dave, there's
some guys out here.
They're after me.
Please.
Listen, I'd like to help.
But it's late.
What?
I don't mean to be rude, but
I don't want to get involved.
Dave, I wouldn't be doing this
if it wasn't serious, please.
It's OK.
Your wife told us.
Told you what?
About your condition, your past.
Past?
What past?
What did she tell you?
When you moved in
last week, she came over
and told us about your...
Wait, wait, wait, last week?
Yeah.
A week?
Dave, I lived in that
house for six years.
You've been my
neighbor for over four.
I helped you move
your refrigerator.
Remember?
Do you remember, for
Christ's sake, please?
All right, you better
go before I call the cops.
No, please, Dave, you
got to remember, please.
Look, all I know is
you moved in last week.
I've never seen you
before that in my life.
I think you better go.
Hey, what can I get you?
Enjoy the straw.
The samples, I got them.
So?
They have the same DNA
structure, but a slightly
different genetic base.
What does that mean?
It's proof.
Plus the stuff I told you
before, about what I heard.
I can't use this stuff.
It'll take weeks to run more
tests and verify everything.
I need something more concrete.
Like what?
Well, like who are these people
are, where they came from.
That's the kind of stuff I need.
You know, my ass is
already on the line here, OK?
And I'm pretty sure that
they're following me.
Gardner, I'm scared, all right.
Look, you agreed
to help us, right?
You realize it's the
right thing to do.
If you don't give me
something I can use,
you might as well
forget the whole thing.
What do you want me to do?
What I want you to
do is go back in there
and start digging and
keep digging until you
find something I can use.
I'll hold onto this
in the meantime.
Hair?
He gives me hair.
He broke the program.
That is impossible.
Something must have set him off.
What did you do?
He caught me off guard.
Precisely.
This wouldn't
have happened if he
weren't having those visions.
He knows that
something is wrong.
Please, blaming each other
does us no good at this point.
Where is he?
My men are still
looking for him.
When they find him,
they've got instructions
to take them to the lab.
Good.
The sooner the better.
Who are you?
It's time to get dressed.
We're going to go for a walk.
We're going to
get some exercise.
Number 734 is ready.
Do you need any assistance?
Yes, I need help
with the escort.
Roger.
Thank you.
Come on, honey, one foot
in front of the other.
What's she doing?
Get up.
Get up.
She's getting away.
Shit.
Over here.
Let's look in here.
There's something that
way, down the stairs.
Let's go.
Check out front.
OK.
No, no, I don't
want to hear that.
I told you no guns.
Now you get out there.
And you search every inch of
the grounds and you find her.
What is going on here?
We have an escapee.
Who?
Suzanne Hicks.
Knocked out an
orderly and a nurse.
She's got a key card.
All right, lock everything down.
I want them posted
at every gate.
Nobody gets in or out
of here unless I say so.
You got that?
Yes, I have it.
Shit.
You go that way.
I'll check the van.
Backtrack to see
what way she went.
Right.
Hey.
How you doing?
You seen a woman
running around here?
No, no woman.
This you van?
Yeah, it's my van.
Wait a minute, what are
you doing out here so late?
Something I forgot to do.
Like what?
Like this.
Howdy.
What's the problem?
- Nothing serious.
I just need to call you in.
What's your name?
Robert Dean.
Yeah, I got Robert Dean
here at the back gate.
Can you please check
for authorization?
Big night?
Yeah, forgot
something in my locker.
I hate when that happens.
Me too.
You know, I don't know
what's taking him so long.
I'm sorry about that, Mr. Dean.
No problem.
Hold on a second.
I've got to take this inside.
Yeah, what's up?
Dean's still there, right?
Yeah, I got you.
You've got to be kidding.
Don't let him leave
under any circumstances.
You serious?
All right, all right.
Get your hands off the wheel.
Now.
Tate.
Tate.
Jesus Christ.
Which way did he go?
Which way?
I don't know.
Damn it.
Let me take the wheel.
Let me drive.
I think we need to
discuss an alternative.
We'll find him.
I promise.
You're willing to bet
your life, your career,
everything we've worked for?
Enough.
Robert Dean is our only choice.
Now, we find him.
We do what needs to
be done or it's over.
What about the Hicks lady?
How badly can she hurt us?
If she can find
someone to believe her,
she could do us some damage.
Tell, Mr. Karns to
eliminate her at all costs.
All right, good man.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Who are you?
OK.
I'm going to ask you
yes or no questions.
And you're going to answer
me by nodding your head.
OK?
Do you understand?
OK.
Did you bring me here?
OK.
Um... Did Gen. Com send you?
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I am?
OK.
I'm going take this off.
You're not going to scream, OK?
You're not going to scream?
OK, good.
What the hell is going on, John.
It's me.
I thought you said you knew me.
Why are you calling John?
Because that's your name.
Hey, Gardner, shake a leg.
What?
What you got?
Looks like we've
got another one.
Robert Dean, age
35, 6 foot, 180.
He's kind of cute.
Check this out.
Call me crazy, but I bet my
bra these two are the same guy.
It looks like somebody
had a real nice make over.
Any of the others match?
No.
We got this guy with the
unibrow here, of course.
Jug head.
And of course, there's
little miss hygiene.
Is there any correlation?
Link?
Look, who gets paid to
be the detective here.
All right, call missing persons,
see if any of those names
come up, OK?
John Rice that was your
name before they got you.
OK, fine.
I'm John.
Who the hell are you?
I'm Suzanne.
You don't remember me?
No.
I haven't seen you
a day in my life.
We used to be friends.
Then how come I
don't recognize you?
Look, I don't know what
the hell they've done to you,
but they've convinced
you you're somebody else.
Obviously, I'm not
who you think I am.
Please, you have
to try to remember.
Look, I'll be the first
to admit there's a lot
of crazy things going on here.
But I know who I am.
My name is Robert Dean.
I was born in Cleveland, Ohio.
I have a younger
brother named Gary.
And I was named after my
father for Christ's sake.
You've never even met
your father, or your mother.
That's probably
why they chose you.
You know, I don't
even know why I'm
wasting my time talking to you.
I'm getting the
hell out of here.
No, you have to stay.
We can't risk getting
caught until we come
up with some concrete answers.
And we're never going to do
that unless we stick together.
Yeah.
Senator Davis's office.
Yeah, can you put me through
to Senator Davis, please?
May I tell him who's calling?
Carl Gardner.
One minute,
please, Mr. Gardner.
It's Carl Gardner on line 1.
I'll take it in my office.
He'll be right with
you, Mr. Gardner.
Speak of the devil.
I was beginning to
think you were going
to leave me out in the cold.
Well, I've come up with
something very interesting
for you.
I sure as well hope so.
Where would you like to meet?
Looks like you're really
moving up in the world.
Well, you said you want to get
in touch with the common man.
Here they are.
What's the news?
Well, this ought to
get you a headline.
They're profiles of four
people who are currently
being tested in the lab.
And one of them, Suzanne Hicks,
was reported missing three
weeks ago out in New York.
None of the other
names match up.
But my man on the inside
swears that these people
are being held against their
will and experimented on.
Will he testify?
He's pretty scared right now.
But, yeah, I think he'll
probably cooperate.
He'll want full
immunity, though.
Done, if it breaks, I'll
personally guarantee it.
Well there's more.
He's got skin grafts,
hair follicles,
and some other medical
crap that he claims
is evidence of human cloning.
Wow.
This is going to be huge.
Do you believe it?
I don't know.
But whatever it is,
it doesn't look good.
Tell your man to
get everything he can
in the next day, because
after that everything
is going to change.
And thanks, as always.
Senator, you forget
something, by bill.
Bartender, give me another
one of these, please.
Well?
Jimmy, tomorrow's going
to be a beautiful day.
There you go.
Thanks.
Go ahead.
OK, we met at a
homeless shelter.
You were living there,
and I worked there.
And the first time we talked,
we got into a huge argument
about government relief
programs or something.
You had a really big
chip on your shoulder
from the way the military
had mistreated you.
But I put you to work
and you loosened up.
Can't imagine why I'd
want to forget that past.
No, you were happy.
Actually, we were happy.
Sounds romantic.
It was.
Actually, you were
really incredible.
You designed this whole
night outreach program.
And, well, that's
when it happened.
What happened?
That we were kidnapped.
We used to take 20 meals
out to people who couldn't
make it to the shelter.
And it was really
late on a Thursday.
And we had one more
meal to deliver
to this old lady, Lucy, who
lived way down on Sixth Street.
So we cut down an alley.
And then out of nowhere
these three guys jumped us.
And you fought them off.
And then we started running.
Let me go.
And they
chased us into a building.
This way.
It's got an elevator, John.
Get in.
John, in the elevator.
Come on, over here.
John.
Move.
Go.
Go.
Go.
We got up to the top,
and there was no place to go.
Suzanne.
And I just
started running to the edge.
Stop.
John.
No!
No!
I remember.
You died.
No, I grabbed onto this ladder.
No!
They caught me.
No, no, let me go, you bastard.
And then they got you.
I kind of remember
your face now.
And I remember
what you just said.
I just can't remember
anything else.
I just can't.
Why can't I remember
anything else?
I don't know.
What's the status?
Karns called in an hour ago.
He got a tip from a gas
station attendant who
claims to have seen the van.
It's just a matter of time.
God, I hope so.
We'll increase man power
it that's what it takes.
Hello.
It's me.
He's going ahead
with everything.
And I haven't been able to
identify the inside source.
That is not acceptable.
We're running out of time.
I realize that.
They're being very
careful though.
You have to convince
him to push it back.
Impossible.
I have to go.
Hello?
When you made this for me
did you ask me how I like it?
No, not that I'd even no...
Black with three
sugars, because I like
a little sugar on the bottom.
How did you know to
make it like that?
I didn't.
And let me see yours.
Cream, no sugar.
Don't you see what this means?
It means it's all in here.
We just have to find it.
Who's this guy?
I don't know?
Senator Davis?
I know this guy.
How do you know him?
It's the guy
that's in my dreams.
What happens?
There's a crowd of people.
There's... there's a
bunch of photographers.
There... my God.
This is Karns.
I think we've got him.
Are you sure?
Yes, we've got him.
A sleazy little motel,
about 60 miles away.
His van's parked out back.
We're ready to move in.
Just make sure that he's alive.
No problem.
God, it all makes sense.
You were special forces.
You assassinated people all over
the world, for Christ's sake.
And then you were
dishonorably discharged.
I'm sure Gen. Com sought you out.
It's perfect.
You have a military background,
a rebellious, difficult past.
I mean, you fit the profile.
They programmed you
to kill the senator.
Why would anyone want
to kill the senator?
Those experiments.
You should have seen what
they were going to do to me.
I'm sure Senator Davis
found out about him.
Who is it?
Maid service.
Yeah, you can
come back tomorrow.
It's OK.
Sorry, we have
to clean the room today.
OK, I'll be right there.
No, go, go.
Get in the bathroom.
Shit.
Get him into the car.
We now have Mr. Dean,
and we are bringing him in.
We got him.
They're on their way back.
Now find Dr. Gray, so let
him know the situation
because we have to work fast.
Right away.
Someone else was with him.
I want you to go get the
van, and then I want you two
to search the surrounding area.
And show this to the clerk.
See if he recognizes her.
OK.
What did you give him?
What did I give him?
Exactly what you
gave us to give him.
And we restrained him
with the taser initially,
but he was out of
it pretty quick.
Well, let's hope he's not fried.
Yes of course,
but listen, Doctor,
Suzanne Hicks was with him.
Now I've got my men over there.
They're covering the area.
But as of yet, we
haven't got her.
How are you certain it was her?
The motel clerk
positively identified her
from a photograph.
She won't get.
How reassure.
Come on, let's get him inside.
Excuse me, what
are you doing here?
Um... I was...
I was sent for some samples
and Dr. Gray sent me.
You're not authorized to here.
You're going to have
to come with me.
No, just... I have a pass right...
How long is he going to be out.
I need to evaluate
the degree to which
his memory has broken through.
He'll be asleep
at least five hours.
We don't have time to waste.
I don't see any alternative.
If the data implementation
is unsuccessful,
you can forget any
chance that the program
is going to be effective.
Come on, I just need
a chance to observe
him and make sure it holds.
I'm closing down the lab.
I don't want any surprises.
Robyn, look, after tomorrow,
it's all going to be over.
Then we can get on
with our research.
Where did you see him?
In one of the holding cells.
I only caught a glimpse of
him, but I'm sure it was him.
You're sure that it was
this Rice guy, the John Rice.
Yes, it was John Rice.
I think something major
is going down tomorrow.
They're locking up the lab.
You wouldn't believe some of
the stuff I heard them talking.
Like what?
These, you get these
developed, it's everything
you dreamed of and more, man.
I don't have those
kind of dreams.
They're doing human
cloning, mind manipulation,
brainwashing.
It's the seventh ring of hell.
Anybody see you?
I had a little run in with
an orderly, but I don't...
I don't think anybody saw me.
I'm just going to call in
sick for the rest of my life,
just to be safe.
Can I get another
one of these, please?
That's probably a good idea.
You know, you told me that
everything was going to be OK.
That if we did this
everything would be better.
But it just feels like
everything's falling apart now.
Well, hang in there.
The next couple of days are
going to get very interesting.
Lot of stuff going to happen.
Thank you.
Just keep the coming.
Hello.
Can you tell me your name?
Do you know who I am?
No.
No.
I know what you're doing.
I'm going to let...
Hold him down.
We're trying to help you.
All right, let's
get him in the tank.
We can proceed immediately.
How long till we can
begin reimplementation?
His vitals are stabilized.
We can proceed immediately.
Dr. Fordham, initiate
data program sequencing.
Sequencing complete.
We're ready to initiate
memory imprint.
Start imprint in five,
four, three, two, one, now.
Flat line, we have
complete cardiac arrest.
Thomas, get him out of there.
No, wait.
1,500 CCs.
If we can revive him, the
program will remain intact.
If he dies, it's over.
Now, we can't risk that.
We don't have a choice.
He's stabilizing.
Stop the program.
Let's get him out of there.
Tucker Foley,
top-level researcher.
I just gave him a promotion,
for Christ's sake.
Privy to almost all
of our operations.
I can't believe it.
Information is leaking.
And there has to be a source.
Find Dr. Grace, alert
him to the situation.
Then get Tucker and
find out what he knows.
What about Gardner?
I saw Tucker hand him something.
I don't know.
Look, I know it's
not my place to say.
But you are going to have
to make a decision quickly.
There is a lot at stake here.
I never thought all
this was necessary.
Truth, advancement
of science, society,
that was what it was all about.
Medical school was supposed
to be an escape from politics.
I guess I was very naive.
Politics can be your friend.
You just have to
know how to play.
And there is nothing
naive about that.
I need to speak
to Senator Davis.
Please, let me go.
I need to speak to the sen...
Senator.
Who is that?
What's going on?
Extra security.
We've had some threats.
I'll take care of this.
What's going on?
Please, you have
to listen to me.
There are people trying
to kill the senator.
I have proof.
The senate is going to be
dead unless got of your asses
and you do something.
Look, Miss, please calm down.
How did she get in here?
Sorry, sir, we
found her sleeping
in the senator's office.
She must have snuck
in last night.
She has no ID.
She says her name is...
Suzanne Hicks.
All right, put her in
this office over here.
And I'll talk to
her in a moment.
Is that all right with you?
- Yes.
Hurry.
What's that all about?
Just some nut job.
It's under control.
Come on, we've got to
work on your speech.
She looked familiar.
Come on, we've got
a campaign to run.
Thank heaven you're OK.
Where am I?
You passed out.
The security guards
brought you here.
I took the liberty
of calling your wife.
My head hurts.
Robert, there's
something you have to do.
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
OK.
My name is John Rice, special
forces, dishonorable discharge.
If you're watching
this, it's because I've
successfully assassinated
Senator John Davis.
The assassination
of Senator Davis
is a pure act of terrorism,
done in the name of all those
who have served their
country in vane.
Very good, Robert.
You can go home now.
Sorry about that.
No, it's not you.
I'm just a little
jumpy right now.
Well, why don't you
start from the beginning
and tell me everything.
About three weeks ago my
boyfriend John Rice and I
were kidnapped.
Kidnapped?
Man.
Son of a bitch.
This guy's been set up.
It's good to have
you home, Robert.
It's nice to be home.
How do you feel?
Is everything OK?
I feel fine.
Maybe you should take a nap.
This has been a
tough day for you.
Yeah.
I'm going to go take a nap.
Hello.
Hello, Robert, are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
That's very good.
There's something I have to do.
Senator Davis's headquarters,
Morabito speaking.
Yeah, would you put me
through to the senator, please.
It's urgent.
He's busy right now.
You'll have to speak with me.
No, I'm afraid I can't.
Look, my name is Carl
Gardner, the senator knows me.
His life is in danger.
You cannot let him
make that speech today.
Well, I'll pass that
information on to the senator.
And thank you for your concern.
No, you don't understand.
I... Hello?
Damn.
It sounded like a direct hit.
Bring the car around.
I'm done here.
I never thought all of this
was necessary.
Truth, advancement of
science, of society,
that's what this was all about.
Makes me wonder if fate's not
trying to tell us something.
That's funny.
Sine when does a
man of science take
the time to acknowledge fate?
How do you know they're
trying to kill the senator?
I know.
This sounds crazy,
but I think they
programmed him or something.
Him?
John Rice.
They have figured out a
way to implant this plan
into his consciousness.
I don't even think he
knows he's going to do it.
Look, Miss, put
yourself in my position.
I mean, this does sound a little
far fetched to say the least.
Well, then check
out his history.
John Rice, he was a
sniper in special forces,
dishonorably discharged.
He has no job, no
home, no family.
He's the perfect
person to pin this on.
I am telling the truth.
I know you feel very
strongly about this...
Look, just tell the senator.
Maybe he'll be willing
to do something about it.
I have already alerted
his security team.
They are going to
be on the lookout.
But you have to
understand, we get over 100
of these death threats a month.
And I cannot tell the
senator every time.
Now I'm going to
send a physician by
to take a look at you.
Then I want you to give your
statement to the local police,
OK?
Keep her here until it's over.
Then take her back to the lab.
No problem.
He's on his way.
Well, I guess it's
just a waiting game now.
No, please, sit.
John Rice's taped confession.
Very good.
Has... has Tucker been handled?
Mr. Karns is
taking care of it.
Taxi.
Worker's Union, I'm in a hurry.
You got it, lady.
That won't give
us no more trouble.
Is everything still on time?
Of course.
We should be heading
over there pretty soon,
don't you think?
I'm still waiting for
just one last thing.
Everything's been resolved.
Well, I think we
better be going.
I'd like to take Mr.
Karns with us, just in case.
Look, if you don't mind, I'd...
- I'd prefer to watch
it on television from here.
See you in a few hours.
You sure you don't
want to come along?
Look, I can't.
I'm just too nervous.
Me too.
I'm afraid we might
have gone too far.
Don't say that.
We're almost there.
Perhaps that's
what I'm afraid of.
This is why I
got into it, Jimmy.
Sure, there are
a lot road blocks.
But every once in a while,
you get to do something good.
And maybe once in a lifetime
you get the chance to do what I
we're going to do today.
I just hope it doesn't backfire.
This is the greatest day.
I saw something.
I followed my instincts.
And it turns out I was right.
You know, if I had
a billion dollars,
I couldn't buy the
publicity that this
is going to bring me for free.
And I'm going to take
you with me, Jimmy.
You were there the whole time.
And I'm not going to forget it.
Robert!
Karns, look.
I'll take care of it.
Drop it!
It's me, Suzanne.
It's Suzanne.
Look at me.
Just listen.
This isn't you.
They've done something to you.
You have something
you have to do.
Are you ready?
Don't do it.
Are you ready?
Ladies and gentlemen, members
of the press, Senator Davis
has a statement of
great importance,
of which he'd like to read.
Now, we respectfully ask that
you wait until he has finished
before asking any question.
Now, Senator John Davis.
John, I love you.
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
For too long, the
public has been strangled
by the hold of companies
that take government funding
and then expect total
autonomy to do what they...
What the hell is he waiting for?
However corrupt,
immoral, or unscrupulous.
Do it.
Just turn around.
Finish it.
No!
Which is why I have conducted
an independent study...
We're about to be ruined.
And have
already unearthed some rather
startling information.
This was the scene
just moments ago at the Workers.
Union, where an
apparent assassination
attempt against Senator
John Davis went awry.
Davis was unhurt.
But his assistant Jimmy
Morabito was fatally
wounded in the shootout.
We'll keep you informed with the
latest up to the minute details
as they become available.
DR CHAMBERLAIN When all
is said about the circumstances
that led me up to this moment,
my only hope is that
it will be understood,
that I did what
I did in the name
of all people and their future.
Phillip Chamberlain.
This will be the last time
this process is ever performed.
I want the entire
apparatus destroyed.
You're standing in the
way of progress, Senator.
Man has a right to
this technology.
What about this man?
You weren't thinking of
his rights, were you?
Now do it.
How's it going?
Hey, babe.
How you doing?
We were kidnapped.
I remember.
I love you.
You know, almost
single handedly,
you two uncovered one of the
most devious conspiracies
that this country has ever seen.
And the powers behind
this conspiracy
were subsidized and
encouraged, unknowingly,
of course, by our government.
The strength that
must have taken
over to overcome
all of this is more
than I can even comprehend.
And I'd like to thank you both.
And I'd like you to have these.
Thank you, both.
Good luck to you both.
You, sir.
Thank you, Senator.
Good luck.
I guess that makes us heroes.
Think so?
Let's go, hero.
Hey, Dave, how's it going?
Hey, babe.
Hi, hon.
How's your headache?
It's great.
What's cooking.
I thought I'd make kind
of light vegetable thing
tonight because I think I
gained five pounds last week.
Five pounds, where?
I got the pictures back.
They're over there.
Great.
Next time we're going camping.
I thought we were camping out.
We didn't order
room service once.
Look out, Davy Crockett,
here comes Miss Wilderness.
OK, next time you stay in the
tend and I'll going to the Ritz.
Baby, you know what, you don't
even know what you're missing.
It's great exercise
living off the land.
And every night before you
fall asleep under the stars,
you have this great
satisfaction of knowing
you provided for yourself.
The satisfaction I
can easily do without.
How did I ever end up
with such a city slicker
I don't know.
Well, you did.
Well, I did.
So go get washed up, nature
boy, the kill of the day
is going to be
ready in 10 minutes.
A little more salt and pepper.
For the past six
years, Senator John Davis
has done nothing except
take undue credit
for a positive economy, which
he had nothing to do with.
Now, ask yourself this, what exactly
did senator Davis do with all the time
the people of California gave to him?
By my count, nothing.
I believe in judging candidates
not only for what they do,
but for what they don't do.
My name is Mark Putnam, and I
would like to be California's
next United States senator.
Well, there you have it.
That's how we're getting
licked in the polls.
I wouldn't worry too much.
We're only down three
points, and I have an idea.
I can tell by
looking at this guy
that there's something in his
past that we can glom onto.
Jimmy, I don't want to get
into a mud slinging match here.
What then?
This campaign's coming
up on us in no time,
and I don't want to
have to play catch up.
Now, I said, we spend some money
and throw it right back at him.
That's not what people want.
In a way that cupcake is right.
The people want the action.
They want lower taxes and
better incentive programs.
The last thing they want is state and federal
subsidies going to private companies.
Here we go again.
Why don't we get rid of
big business completely.
Of course, we wouldn't be able
to run a campaign because there
wouldn't be any money.
There has to be some
compromise somewhere.
I'm not talking
about all big business,
but a well-chosen battle
fought for the right reasons.
It'll cost us.
Well, like you said, there's
going to be some compromise.
God.
My God, you're drenched.
Honey, it's OK.
I hate this.
What's wrong?
I don't know.
What is it that you see?
Tell me.
I don't know.
Hey, Tony.
Robert.
How ya doing?
How ya doing?
Marty says you guys
are having some problems
with the sonic system.
What's the problem?
Damn PID keeps misidentifying
personnel and tripping
the alarm without warning.
Do you think you can fix it?
That's exactly my expertise,
but I'll see what I can do?
Excuse me, Mr. Robert Dean?
Yeah.
Hello, I'm Dr. Thomas
Grace, head of the company
health department.
Now you had your employee
physical last week.
Is that correct?
Yeah, last Friday.
Is there a problem?
No, no, no, nothing serious.
No, we just noticed
some irregularities
in your blood tests.
We'd like you to
come to the infirmary
for a followup examination.
Um... how about this
afternoon around about 4:00?
Yeah, that's fine.
Good, 4:00 it is.
Don't forget to cough.
Are you experiencing
any chest pain?
No.
All right.
You can get dressed.
We're going to reprocess
your blood work.
These things get
contaminated very easily.
And I really don't think
there's anything to worry about.
That's good news.
It says here you
don't smoke or drink.
No.
How's your appetite?
Eating well?
Yeah, very well.
And sleeping?
Yeah.
Have you or have
you not been sleeping?
I can't tell you the last
time I had a good night's sleep.
But that's no big deal, right?
Sleep is the best thing we
can do for our bodies, Robert.
It recharges the batteries.
Insomnia is more common
than you think, you know.
But there are ways
of alleviating
stress, revitalizing
our sleep patterns.
I wouldn't say I have insomnia.
What then?
Physical discomfort?
Aches and pain?
Dreams?
Dreams.
Dreams, OK, well dreams
are very interesting, Robert.
They're a window into
our subconscious.
Most people underestimate
their importance.
Do you mind telling you
something about yours?
Well, I don't know.
They're not exactly clear.
I mean, the feeling's clear.
I can't explain it.
OK, well, I don't think there's
anything to worry about.
But I want you to
check in with me
later this week so I can
monitor your condition.
And I want to give
you some sleeping pills,
help you get some rest.
Well, you're the doc.
Well, I'd say
your first few years
have been a great success.
Both Doctor Fordham
and Doctor Grace
have given you high praise.
Your research is unmatched.
Which is why I'd like to offer
you a greater responsibility.
Well, what do you think of that?
Thank you.
That's good enough for me.
Dr. Fordham will fill you
in with all the details.
Congratulations.
Proud of you.
Get to work.
Yes, sir.
How are you doing
tonight, Dr. Foley?
What?
Um... fine, OK, hanging in there.
Just barely from what I can see.
It looks like you
could use a day off.
Yeah.
I wish.
There you go.
Don't work too hard.
I'm hardly working.
Let go.
Let's me go.
No!
Let me go.
No!
Stop it!
No!
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Wake up.
Wake up.
Wake up.
What's going on?
- Don't.
Robert, what the
hell is going on?
You're scaring me.
You're scaring me too.
Just give me a minute.
Robert?
Let me in.
I want to help.
Robert.
Just a second.
Don't scare me like that.
Sorry.
I don't know what's going on.
I'm scared too.
I want you to get help.
Go talk to that
doctor again tomorrow
and tell him what's happening.
What did you just say?
Nothing.
What?
How did you know
I went to a doctor?
What?
You just told me
I went to a doctor.
I never told you about him.
Yeah you did.
In your sleep.
In my sleep?
And you never mentioned it?
What's going on, Robyn?
I didn't want to frighten you.
Frighten me?
Look at me now.
Robyn, I saw you in my dream.
You were wearing a lab coat.
Robert, you need help.
OK, I swear to you, you told me.
Now let me go.
You're hurting me.
Yeah, you better send someone.
It's urgent.
Yeah, right around the corner.
Now.
Who was that?
Wrong number.
Robyn, that phone never rang.
Honey, I don't
know what's wrong.
And I'm just trying to help.
Who are those guys?
Who are they?
They're here to help you.
He went through there.
Hey, take it easy, buddy.
We don't want to hurt you.
Physically, he's adjusting fine.
Previous abnormalities
are dormant due
to the altered mental state.
He did express some
trouble sleeping.
And he described nocturnal
episodes, which could
represent gaps in the program.
Is there any chance
he could break through?
Well, this is a prototype.
But the imprint is still
the primary occupant.
And even if he experienced
a complete vision,
he has no reference
to substantiate it.
Well, it's hard to believe
it's come down to this.
Are you sure there's
no other way?
I think we've had this
conversation before.
You said it yourself.
Our research is vital
to future generations,
not to mention our
own sacrifices,
all the time and money.
It doesn't make
it easy, does it?
Seeing the problems that our
subject is having, it makes me
wonder if fate is not
trying to tell us something.
That's funny.
Since when does a
man of science take
the time to acknowledge fate?
Keep an eye on him.
Dave.
Dave.
Turn out the lights.
- Who's there?
It's me, Robert.
Can you please turn
out the lights?
Just turn them off.
Dave, I need your help.
They're after me.
Can I come in?
Whoa, whoa, who's after you?
Just let me in.
I got two kids in
there trying to sleep.
I don't appreciate
you coming out here
in the middle of the night.
Dave, there's
some guys out here.
They're after me.
Please.
Listen, I'd like to help.
But it's late.
What?
I don't mean to be rude, but
I don't want to get involved.
Dave, I wouldn't be doing this
if it wasn't serious, please.
It's OK.
Your wife told us.
Told you what?
About your condition, your past.
Past?
What past?
What did she tell you?
When you moved in
last week, she came over
and told us about your...
Wait, wait, wait, last week?
Yeah.
A week?
Dave, I lived in that
house for six years.
You've been my
neighbor for over four.
I helped you move
your refrigerator.
Remember?
Do you remember, for
Christ's sake, please?
All right, you better
go before I call the cops.
No, please, Dave, you
got to remember, please.
Look, all I know is
you moved in last week.
I've never seen you
before that in my life.
I think you better go.
Hey, what can I get you?
Enjoy the straw.
The samples, I got them.
So?
They have the same DNA
structure, but a slightly
different genetic base.
What does that mean?
It's proof.
Plus the stuff I told you
before, about what I heard.
I can't use this stuff.
It'll take weeks to run more
tests and verify everything.
I need something more concrete.
Like what?
Well, like who are these people
are, where they came from.
That's the kind of stuff I need.
You know, my ass is
already on the line here, OK?
And I'm pretty sure that
they're following me.
Gardner, I'm scared, all right.
Look, you agreed
to help us, right?
You realize it's the
right thing to do.
If you don't give me
something I can use,
you might as well
forget the whole thing.
What do you want me to do?
What I want you to
do is go back in there
and start digging and
keep digging until you
find something I can use.
I'll hold onto this
in the meantime.
Hair?
He gives me hair.
He broke the program.
That is impossible.
Something must have set him off.
What did you do?
He caught me off guard.
Precisely.
This wouldn't
have happened if he
weren't having those visions.
He knows that
something is wrong.
Please, blaming each other
does us no good at this point.
Where is he?
My men are still
looking for him.
When they find him,
they've got instructions
to take them to the lab.
Good.
The sooner the better.
Who are you?
It's time to get dressed.
We're going to go for a walk.
We're going to
get some exercise.
Number 734 is ready.
Do you need any assistance?
Yes, I need help
with the escort.
Roger.
Thank you.
Come on, honey, one foot
in front of the other.
What's she doing?
Get up.
Get up.
She's getting away.
Shit.
Over here.
Let's look in here.
There's something that
way, down the stairs.
Let's go.
Check out front.
OK.
No, no, I don't
want to hear that.
I told you no guns.
Now you get out there.
And you search every inch of
the grounds and you find her.
What is going on here?
We have an escapee.
Who?
Suzanne Hicks.
Knocked out an
orderly and a nurse.
She's got a key card.
All right, lock everything down.
I want them posted
at every gate.
Nobody gets in or out
of here unless I say so.
You got that?
Yes, I have it.
Shit.
You go that way.
I'll check the van.
Backtrack to see
what way she went.
Right.
Hey.
How you doing?
You seen a woman
running around here?
No, no woman.
This you van?
Yeah, it's my van.
Wait a minute, what are
you doing out here so late?
Something I forgot to do.
Like what?
Like this.
Howdy.
What's the problem?
- Nothing serious.
I just need to call you in.
What's your name?
Robert Dean.
Yeah, I got Robert Dean
here at the back gate.
Can you please check
for authorization?
Big night?
Yeah, forgot
something in my locker.
I hate when that happens.
Me too.
You know, I don't know
what's taking him so long.
I'm sorry about that, Mr. Dean.
No problem.
Hold on a second.
I've got to take this inside.
Yeah, what's up?
Dean's still there, right?
Yeah, I got you.
You've got to be kidding.
Don't let him leave
under any circumstances.
You serious?
All right, all right.
Get your hands off the wheel.
Now.
Tate.
Tate.
Jesus Christ.
Which way did he go?
Which way?
I don't know.
Damn it.
Let me take the wheel.
Let me drive.
I think we need to
discuss an alternative.
We'll find him.
I promise.
You're willing to bet
your life, your career,
everything we've worked for?
Enough.
Robert Dean is our only choice.
Now, we find him.
We do what needs to
be done or it's over.
What about the Hicks lady?
How badly can she hurt us?
If she can find
someone to believe her,
she could do us some damage.
Tell, Mr. Karns to
eliminate her at all costs.
All right, good man.
Shut up.
Shut up.
Who are you?
OK.
I'm going to ask you
yes or no questions.
And you're going to answer
me by nodding your head.
OK?
Do you understand?
OK.
Did you bring me here?
OK.
Um... Did Gen. Com send you?
Do you know who I am?
Do you know who I am?
OK.
I'm going take this off.
You're not going to scream, OK?
You're not going to scream?
OK, good.
What the hell is going on, John.
It's me.
I thought you said you knew me.
Why are you calling John?
Because that's your name.
Hey, Gardner, shake a leg.
What?
What you got?
Looks like we've
got another one.
Robert Dean, age
35, 6 foot, 180.
He's kind of cute.
Check this out.
Call me crazy, but I bet my
bra these two are the same guy.
It looks like somebody
had a real nice make over.
Any of the others match?
No.
We got this guy with the
unibrow here, of course.
Jug head.
And of course, there's
little miss hygiene.
Is there any correlation?
Link?
Look, who gets paid to
be the detective here.
All right, call missing persons,
see if any of those names
come up, OK?
John Rice that was your
name before they got you.
OK, fine.
I'm John.
Who the hell are you?
I'm Suzanne.
You don't remember me?
No.
I haven't seen you
a day in my life.
We used to be friends.
Then how come I
don't recognize you?
Look, I don't know what
the hell they've done to you,
but they've convinced
you you're somebody else.
Obviously, I'm not
who you think I am.
Please, you have
to try to remember.
Look, I'll be the first
to admit there's a lot
of crazy things going on here.
But I know who I am.
My name is Robert Dean.
I was born in Cleveland, Ohio.
I have a younger
brother named Gary.
And I was named after my
father for Christ's sake.
You've never even met
your father, or your mother.
That's probably
why they chose you.
You know, I don't
even know why I'm
wasting my time talking to you.
I'm getting the
hell out of here.
No, you have to stay.
We can't risk getting
caught until we come
up with some concrete answers.
And we're never going to do
that unless we stick together.
Yeah.
Senator Davis's office.
Yeah, can you put me through
to Senator Davis, please?
May I tell him who's calling?
Carl Gardner.
One minute,
please, Mr. Gardner.
It's Carl Gardner on line 1.
I'll take it in my office.
He'll be right with
you, Mr. Gardner.
Speak of the devil.
I was beginning to
think you were going
to leave me out in the cold.
Well, I've come up with
something very interesting
for you.
I sure as well hope so.
Where would you like to meet?
Looks like you're really
moving up in the world.
Well, you said you want to get
in touch with the common man.
Here they are.
What's the news?
Well, this ought to
get you a headline.
They're profiles of four
people who are currently
being tested in the lab.
And one of them, Suzanne Hicks,
was reported missing three
weeks ago out in New York.
None of the other
names match up.
But my man on the inside
swears that these people
are being held against their
will and experimented on.
Will he testify?
He's pretty scared right now.
But, yeah, I think he'll
probably cooperate.
He'll want full
immunity, though.
Done, if it breaks, I'll
personally guarantee it.
Well there's more.
He's got skin grafts,
hair follicles,
and some other medical
crap that he claims
is evidence of human cloning.
Wow.
This is going to be huge.
Do you believe it?
I don't know.
But whatever it is,
it doesn't look good.
Tell your man to
get everything he can
in the next day, because
after that everything
is going to change.
And thanks, as always.
Senator, you forget
something, by bill.
Bartender, give me another
one of these, please.
Well?
Jimmy, tomorrow's going
to be a beautiful day.
There you go.
Thanks.
Go ahead.
OK, we met at a
homeless shelter.
You were living there,
and I worked there.
And the first time we talked,
we got into a huge argument
about government relief
programs or something.
You had a really big
chip on your shoulder
from the way the military
had mistreated you.
But I put you to work
and you loosened up.
Can't imagine why I'd
want to forget that past.
No, you were happy.
Actually, we were happy.
Sounds romantic.
It was.
Actually, you were
really incredible.
You designed this whole
night outreach program.
And, well, that's
when it happened.
What happened?
That we were kidnapped.
We used to take 20 meals
out to people who couldn't
make it to the shelter.
And it was really
late on a Thursday.
And we had one more
meal to deliver
to this old lady, Lucy, who
lived way down on Sixth Street.
So we cut down an alley.
And then out of nowhere
these three guys jumped us.
And you fought them off.
And then we started running.
Let me go.
And they
chased us into a building.
This way.
It's got an elevator, John.
Get in.
John, in the elevator.
Come on, over here.
John.
Move.
Go.
Go.
Go.
We got up to the top,
and there was no place to go.
Suzanne.
And I just
started running to the edge.
Stop.
John.
No!
No!
I remember.
You died.
No, I grabbed onto this ladder.
No!
They caught me.
No, no, let me go, you bastard.
And then they got you.
I kind of remember
your face now.
And I remember
what you just said.
I just can't remember
anything else.
I just can't.
Why can't I remember
anything else?
I don't know.
What's the status?
Karns called in an hour ago.
He got a tip from a gas
station attendant who
claims to have seen the van.
It's just a matter of time.
God, I hope so.
We'll increase man power
it that's what it takes.
Hello.
It's me.
He's going ahead
with everything.
And I haven't been able to
identify the inside source.
That is not acceptable.
We're running out of time.
I realize that.
They're being very
careful though.
You have to convince
him to push it back.
Impossible.
I have to go.
Hello?
When you made this for me
did you ask me how I like it?
No, not that I'd even no...
Black with three
sugars, because I like
a little sugar on the bottom.
How did you know to
make it like that?
I didn't.
And let me see yours.
Cream, no sugar.
Don't you see what this means?
It means it's all in here.
We just have to find it.
Who's this guy?
I don't know?
Senator Davis?
I know this guy.
How do you know him?
It's the guy
that's in my dreams.
What happens?
There's a crowd of people.
There's... there's a
bunch of photographers.
There... my God.
This is Karns.
I think we've got him.
Are you sure?
Yes, we've got him.
A sleazy little motel,
about 60 miles away.
His van's parked out back.
We're ready to move in.
Just make sure that he's alive.
No problem.
God, it all makes sense.
You were special forces.
You assassinated people all over
the world, for Christ's sake.
And then you were
dishonorably discharged.
I'm sure Gen. Com sought you out.
It's perfect.
You have a military background,
a rebellious, difficult past.
I mean, you fit the profile.
They programmed you
to kill the senator.
Why would anyone want
to kill the senator?
Those experiments.
You should have seen what
they were going to do to me.
I'm sure Senator Davis
found out about him.
Who is it?
Maid service.
Yeah, you can
come back tomorrow.
It's OK.
Sorry, we have
to clean the room today.
OK, I'll be right there.
No, go, go.
Get in the bathroom.
Shit.
Get him into the car.
We now have Mr. Dean,
and we are bringing him in.
We got him.
They're on their way back.
Now find Dr. Gray, so let
him know the situation
because we have to work fast.
Right away.
Someone else was with him.
I want you to go get the
van, and then I want you two
to search the surrounding area.
And show this to the clerk.
See if he recognizes her.
OK.
What did you give him?
What did I give him?
Exactly what you
gave us to give him.
And we restrained him
with the taser initially,
but he was out of
it pretty quick.
Well, let's hope he's not fried.
Yes of course,
but listen, Doctor,
Suzanne Hicks was with him.
Now I've got my men over there.
They're covering the area.
But as of yet, we
haven't got her.
How are you certain it was her?
The motel clerk
positively identified her
from a photograph.
She won't get.
How reassure.
Come on, let's get him inside.
Excuse me, what
are you doing here?
Um... I was...
I was sent for some samples
and Dr. Gray sent me.
You're not authorized to here.
You're going to have
to come with me.
No, just... I have a pass right...
How long is he going to be out.
I need to evaluate
the degree to which
his memory has broken through.
He'll be asleep
at least five hours.
We don't have time to waste.
I don't see any alternative.
If the data implementation
is unsuccessful,
you can forget any
chance that the program
is going to be effective.
Come on, I just need
a chance to observe
him and make sure it holds.
I'm closing down the lab.
I don't want any surprises.
Robyn, look, after tomorrow,
it's all going to be over.
Then we can get on
with our research.
Where did you see him?
In one of the holding cells.
I only caught a glimpse of
him, but I'm sure it was him.
You're sure that it was
this Rice guy, the John Rice.
Yes, it was John Rice.
I think something major
is going down tomorrow.
They're locking up the lab.
You wouldn't believe some of
the stuff I heard them talking.
Like what?
These, you get these
developed, it's everything
you dreamed of and more, man.
I don't have those
kind of dreams.
They're doing human
cloning, mind manipulation,
brainwashing.
It's the seventh ring of hell.
Anybody see you?
I had a little run in with
an orderly, but I don't...
I don't think anybody saw me.
I'm just going to call in
sick for the rest of my life,
just to be safe.
Can I get another
one of these, please?
That's probably a good idea.
You know, you told me that
everything was going to be OK.
That if we did this
everything would be better.
But it just feels like
everything's falling apart now.
Well, hang in there.
The next couple of days are
going to get very interesting.
Lot of stuff going to happen.
Thank you.
Just keep the coming.
Hello.
Can you tell me your name?
Do you know who I am?
No.
No.
I know what you're doing.
I'm going to let...
Hold him down.
We're trying to help you.
All right, let's
get him in the tank.
We can proceed immediately.
How long till we can
begin reimplementation?
His vitals are stabilized.
We can proceed immediately.
Dr. Fordham, initiate
data program sequencing.
Sequencing complete.
We're ready to initiate
memory imprint.
Start imprint in five,
four, three, two, one, now.
Flat line, we have
complete cardiac arrest.
Thomas, get him out of there.
No, wait.
1,500 CCs.
If we can revive him, the
program will remain intact.
If he dies, it's over.
Now, we can't risk that.
We don't have a choice.
He's stabilizing.
Stop the program.
Let's get him out of there.
Tucker Foley,
top-level researcher.
I just gave him a promotion,
for Christ's sake.
Privy to almost all
of our operations.
I can't believe it.
Information is leaking.
And there has to be a source.
Find Dr. Grace, alert
him to the situation.
Then get Tucker and
find out what he knows.
What about Gardner?
I saw Tucker hand him something.
I don't know.
Look, I know it's
not my place to say.
But you are going to have
to make a decision quickly.
There is a lot at stake here.
I never thought all
this was necessary.
Truth, advancement
of science, society,
that was what it was all about.
Medical school was supposed
to be an escape from politics.
I guess I was very naive.
Politics can be your friend.
You just have to
know how to play.
And there is nothing
naive about that.
I need to speak
to Senator Davis.
Please, let me go.
I need to speak to the sen...
Senator.
Who is that?
What's going on?
Extra security.
We've had some threats.
I'll take care of this.
What's going on?
Please, you have
to listen to me.
There are people trying
to kill the senator.
I have proof.
The senate is going to be
dead unless got of your asses
and you do something.
Look, Miss, please calm down.
How did she get in here?
Sorry, sir, we
found her sleeping
in the senator's office.
She must have snuck
in last night.
She has no ID.
She says her name is...
Suzanne Hicks.
All right, put her in
this office over here.
And I'll talk to
her in a moment.
Is that all right with you?
- Yes.
Hurry.
What's that all about?
Just some nut job.
It's under control.
Come on, we've got to
work on your speech.
She looked familiar.
Come on, we've got
a campaign to run.
Thank heaven you're OK.
Where am I?
You passed out.
The security guards
brought you here.
I took the liberty
of calling your wife.
My head hurts.
Robert, there's
something you have to do.
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
OK.
My name is John Rice, special
forces, dishonorable discharge.
If you're watching
this, it's because I've
successfully assassinated
Senator John Davis.
The assassination
of Senator Davis
is a pure act of terrorism,
done in the name of all those
who have served their
country in vane.
Very good, Robert.
You can go home now.
Sorry about that.
No, it's not you.
I'm just a little
jumpy right now.
Well, why don't you
start from the beginning
and tell me everything.
About three weeks ago my
boyfriend John Rice and I
were kidnapped.
Kidnapped?
Man.
Son of a bitch.
This guy's been set up.
It's good to have
you home, Robert.
It's nice to be home.
How do you feel?
Is everything OK?
I feel fine.
Maybe you should take a nap.
This has been a
tough day for you.
Yeah.
I'm going to go take a nap.
Hello.
Hello, Robert, are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
That's very good.
There's something I have to do.
Senator Davis's headquarters,
Morabito speaking.
Yeah, would you put me
through to the senator, please.
It's urgent.
He's busy right now.
You'll have to speak with me.
No, I'm afraid I can't.
Look, my name is Carl
Gardner, the senator knows me.
His life is in danger.
You cannot let him
make that speech today.
Well, I'll pass that
information on to the senator.
And thank you for your concern.
No, you don't understand.
I... Hello?
Damn.
It sounded like a direct hit.
Bring the car around.
I'm done here.
I never thought all of this
was necessary.
Truth, advancement of
science, of society,
that's what this was all about.
Makes me wonder if fate's not
trying to tell us something.
That's funny.
Sine when does a
man of science take
the time to acknowledge fate?
How do you know they're
trying to kill the senator?
I know.
This sounds crazy,
but I think they
programmed him or something.
Him?
John Rice.
They have figured out a
way to implant this plan
into his consciousness.
I don't even think he
knows he's going to do it.
Look, Miss, put
yourself in my position.
I mean, this does sound a little
far fetched to say the least.
Well, then check
out his history.
John Rice, he was a
sniper in special forces,
dishonorably discharged.
He has no job, no
home, no family.
He's the perfect
person to pin this on.
I am telling the truth.
I know you feel very
strongly about this...
Look, just tell the senator.
Maybe he'll be willing
to do something about it.
I have already alerted
his security team.
They are going to
be on the lookout.
But you have to
understand, we get over 100
of these death threats a month.
And I cannot tell the
senator every time.
Now I'm going to
send a physician by
to take a look at you.
Then I want you to give your
statement to the local police,
OK?
Keep her here until it's over.
Then take her back to the lab.
No problem.
He's on his way.
Well, I guess it's
just a waiting game now.
No, please, sit.
John Rice's taped confession.
Very good.
Has... has Tucker been handled?
Mr. Karns is
taking care of it.
Taxi.
Worker's Union, I'm in a hurry.
You got it, lady.
That won't give
us no more trouble.
Is everything still on time?
Of course.
We should be heading
over there pretty soon,
don't you think?
I'm still waiting for
just one last thing.
Everything's been resolved.
Well, I think we
better be going.
I'd like to take Mr.
Karns with us, just in case.
Look, if you don't mind, I'd...
- I'd prefer to watch
it on television from here.
See you in a few hours.
You sure you don't
want to come along?
Look, I can't.
I'm just too nervous.
Me too.
I'm afraid we might
have gone too far.
Don't say that.
We're almost there.
Perhaps that's
what I'm afraid of.
This is why I
got into it, Jimmy.
Sure, there are
a lot road blocks.
But every once in a while,
you get to do something good.
And maybe once in a lifetime
you get the chance to do what I
we're going to do today.
I just hope it doesn't backfire.
This is the greatest day.
I saw something.
I followed my instincts.
And it turns out I was right.
You know, if I had
a billion dollars,
I couldn't buy the
publicity that this
is going to bring me for free.
And I'm going to take
you with me, Jimmy.
You were there the whole time.
And I'm not going to forget it.
Robert!
Karns, look.
I'll take care of it.
Drop it!
It's me, Suzanne.
It's Suzanne.
Look at me.
Just listen.
This isn't you.
They've done something to you.
You have something
you have to do.
Are you ready?
Don't do it.
Are you ready?
Ladies and gentlemen, members
of the press, Senator Davis
has a statement of
great importance,
of which he'd like to read.
Now, we respectfully ask that
you wait until he has finished
before asking any question.
Now, Senator John Davis.
John, I love you.
Are you ready?
Yes, I'm ready.
For too long, the
public has been strangled
by the hold of companies
that take government funding
and then expect total
autonomy to do what they...
What the hell is he waiting for?
However corrupt,
immoral, or unscrupulous.
Do it.
Just turn around.
Finish it.
No!
Which is why I have conducted
an independent study...
We're about to be ruined.
And have
already unearthed some rather
startling information.
This was the scene
just moments ago at the Workers.
Union, where an
apparent assassination
attempt against Senator
John Davis went awry.
Davis was unhurt.
But his assistant Jimmy
Morabito was fatally
wounded in the shootout.
We'll keep you informed with the
latest up to the minute details
as they become available.
DR CHAMBERLAIN When all
is said about the circumstances
that led me up to this moment,
my only hope is that
it will be understood,
that I did what
I did in the name
of all people and their future.
Phillip Chamberlain.
This will be the last time
this process is ever performed.
I want the entire
apparatus destroyed.
You're standing in the
way of progress, Senator.
Man has a right to
this technology.
What about this man?
You weren't thinking of
his rights, were you?
Now do it.
How's it going?
Hey, babe.
How you doing?
We were kidnapped.
I remember.
I love you.
You know, almost
single handedly,
you two uncovered one of the
most devious conspiracies
that this country has ever seen.
And the powers behind
this conspiracy
were subsidized and
encouraged, unknowingly,
of course, by our government.
The strength that
must have taken
over to overcome
all of this is more
than I can even comprehend.
And I'd like to thank you both.
And I'd like you to have these.
Thank you, both.
Good luck to you both.
You, sir.
Thank you, Senator.
Good luck.
I guess that makes us heroes.
Think so?
Let's go, hero.
