Millennium (1996–1999): Season 1, Episode 17 - Walkabout - full transcript
Frank is found in an alley in Yakima covered in cuts and bruises and unable to remember where he is or how he got there. All he has are vague memories of a medical study, an email exchange with a doctor that he conducted under a false name, and the belief that someone has been killed. With Peter's help, Frank retraces his steps, first contacting the shut-in former doctor who introduced him to the man conducting the trials. From there, however, the trail seems to run cold: nobody at the clinic knows anything about a medical trial, and none of fellow guinea pigs that Frank contacts can come up with a consistent story about anyone being killed.

RACE YOU! [Laughing]
[Laughing]
HEY! HOW'D YOU TWO
GET TO BE SO FAST, HUH?
UM, JORDAN,
WHY DON'T YOU GO AND SEE IF
BENNY WANTS SOMETHING TO EAT, HUH?
HE ALREADY ATE. MAYBE
HE WANTS SOME WATER THEN.
OKAY. COME ON, BEN. OKAY? OKAY.
HI. I'M PETER WATTS.
YES. I-I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
HAS SOMETHING HAPPENED?
UH, DID FRANK CALL
YOU LAST NIGHT?
NO.
BUT HE WOULDN'T IF IT
GOT LATE OR SOMETHING.
WHAT'S GOING ON? HE NEVER
CHECKED IN TO HIS HOTEL IN YAKIMA.
THE POLICE THERE CALLED THIS MORNING
WHEN HE MISSED HIS MEETING WITH THEM.
HAVE YOU CHECKED THE
HOSPITALS? MM-HMM. ALSO
NOTIFIED LAW ENFORCEMENT
ALONG HIS ROUTE,
BUT, UH, NOTHING SO FAR.
OH, MY GOD.
HE SAID HE WAS GONNA
REVIEW A FEW PAPERS.
THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING.
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK
THROUGH HIS THINGS, IF I COULD.
MAYBE THE TWO OF US TOGETHER
COULD FIND SOMETHING. YES. COME IN.
LISTEN, I APOLOGIZE
FOR EVEN ASKING THIS,
BUT IS THERE ANYTHING
I SHOULD KNOW?
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT HERE?
YEAH. THINGS HAVE BEEN GOOD.
NOT MUCH ON HIS DESK. LET'S SEE
WHAT'S ON HIS COMPUTER. MAY I?
YES.
- WHAT WAS THIS CASE
THAT YOU SENT HIM ON?
- ROUTINE HOMICIDE REVIEW.
THEN WHY SEND FRANK?
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT'S
SOMETHING HE WANTED TO DO.
GOT A FAIR AMOUNT IF INTERNET
ACTIVITY OUTSIDE THE GROUP.
ONE WEB SITE IN PARTICULAR.
SOME ENCRYPTED CORRESPONDENCE.
WE CAN PROBABLY UNDO THAT.
E-MAIL.
THE CORRESPONDENCE ITSELF HAS BEEN
DELETED, BUT THE DIRECTORY IS INTACT.
YOU EVER HEAR OF
A DR. DANIEL MILLER?
NO.
FRANK'S USING ANOTHER
NAME BESIDES HIS OWN HERE.
DAVID MARX. IS THAT
A FRIEND OF YOURS?
CATHERINE, HELP ME HERE.
FIVE YEARS AGO,
JUST BEFORE FRANK
COLLAPSED, HE USED TO VANISH.
SOMETIMES FOR DAYS AT A TIME.
HE WOULD CHECK INTO
HOTELS USING THAT NAME.
IT WAS A FRIEND OF HIS
WHEN HE WAS A KID, WHO DIED.
MOMMY? UH...
- I'LL BE RIGHT THERE,
SWEETHEART.
- IS DADDY ALL RIGHT?
[Woman On Radio] UNIT 311, BE ADVISED WE
HAVE A DISTURBANCE AT 54th AND LINCOLN.
- PROBABLE 415... D AND D.
- DRUNK AND DISORDERLY.
- PLASMA ROW.
- YEAH, YOUR TURN
TO DO THE HONORS.
YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW.
WE GOT ANY RUBBER GLOVES
OR ANYTHING IN THERE?
[Chuckles]
[Man] IT'S MINE! GIVE
IT TO ME! [Man, Indistinct]
[Siren Blares]
[Muttering]
[Police Radio Chatter]
ALL RIGHT. BREAK IT UP.
BREAK IT UP!
YOU WANNA HAND THAT TO ME NOW?
I SEE A MAN SOMEWHERE
LATE FOR AN APPOINTMENT.
JACK, WE GOT A GUY
HERE IN SERIOUS SHAPE.
- HI.
- WHERE'S FRANK?
WE GOT A CALL FROM
THE YAKIMA POLICE.
HE WAS IN PRETTY BAD
SHAPE WHEN THEY FOUND HIM.
- HOW YOU DOIN', JORDAN?
- [Jordan] FINE.
[Sighing]
FRANK.
WHAT HAPPENED?
[Jordan] HI, DADDY.
[Exhales Forcefully]
ANY EXPLANATION?
MAYBE HE'LL TALK TO YOU.
HE WAS WEARING THIS
HOSPITAL BRACELET. DAVID MARX.
FRANK.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I CAN'T REMEMBER.
DAVID MARX. THAT MUST'VE
BEEN SCARY FOR YOU.
I ALREADY KNEW. WE FOUND
THE NAME ON YOUR COMPUTER.
- I USED THAT NAME BEFORE I LEFT?
- ON SOME E-MAIL.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
SOMETHING HAPPENED
TO ME UP THERE.
AND I DON'T KNOW.
I CAN'T REMEMBER.
WHEREVER I WAS,
SOMEONE DIED THERE.
[Man] HERE YOU GO. COME ON IN.
YOU SURE THIS IS
THE RIGHT ADDRESS?
I'M SURE IT'S THE ADDRESS
ON HIS INTERNET ACCOUNT.
[Children Chattering]
[Man] HEY, OUT THERE! SHUT
UP! I'VE WARNED YOU KIDS.
[TV: Indistinct]
- WHAT CAN I DO YOU FOR?
- WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A DR. DANIEL MILLER.
DR. DANIEL MILLER.
YOU MEAN DANNY.
IS HE IN? HE'S IN, ALL RIGHT.
THE GUY HASN'T LEFT THE
BUILDING SINCE I'VE WORKED HERE.
DOWN THE HALL, 109.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HIM MYSELF.
TELL HIM HIS RENT'S
TWO WEEKS LATE.
[Door Opens] [Children
Chattering Continues]
DR. MILLER?
THE SUPERINTENDENT
SAID YOU WERE HERE.
MY NAME IS FRANK BLACK.
DAVID MARX. [Door Unlocks]
YOU LIED ABOUT YOUR NAME?
YOU'RE A DOCTOR? [Chuckles]
PLEASE DON'T ANSWER A
QUESTION WITH A QUESTION.
CORNELL MED.
FOURTH IN MY CLASS.
- I CAME TO YOU
FOR MEDICAL ADVICE?
- HERE?
I'VE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE.
YOU'RE BARELY HERE NOW.
YOU REALLY DON'T REMEMBER.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY I WOULD
HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH YOU.
- DO YOU REMEMBER THE TRIAL?
- WHAT TRIAL?
SELECTIVE RETROGRADE AMNESIA.
POSSIBLY PSYCHOGENIC.
WHAT KIND OF MEDICINE
DO YOU PRACTICE?
I SAID RIGHT UP FRONT. I
CAN'T PRACTICE ANYMORE.
- WHEN DID YOU TELL ME THIS?
- E-MAIL.
WOW!
I HEARD IT GOT WEIRD, BUT...
THE OTHERS JUST SAID THEY SAW...
CRAZY, CRAZY STUFF.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?
I THOUGHT I DID YOU A
FAVOR, ONE TO ANOTHER.
- ONE WHAT TO ANOTHER?
- YOU SAID YOU WERE LIKE ME...
SEEING THINGS.
YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE
LOOKING FOR A CURE.
[Thunder Rumbling]
- YOU WERE HERE?
- ACCORDING TO
DR. DANIEL MILLER.
HE SAID I CONTACTED
HIM ON THE INTERNET.
HE KEEPS TABS ON EXPERIMENTAL
DRUGS AND CLINICAL TRIALS.
TESTING DRUGS BEFORE
THEY'RE APPROVED.
YEAH. HE SAID I WAS INTERESTED
IN A THIRD STAGE EFFICACY TRIAL.
A DRUG CALLED PROLOFT. WHY?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
I DON'T EVEN TAKE ASPIRIN.
CAN I HELP YOU? YES. WOULD YOU
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A CLINICAL TRIAL...
THAT WAS HELD HERE
THIS PAST SUNDAY?
WE'RE CLOSED WEEKENDS.
SIR? MAY I HELP YOU?
SIR, MAY I HELP YOU?
SIR?
[Shouting, Screaming]
IT HAPPENED HERE. THE GLASS...
I BROKE IT WITH MY HANDS.
THIS COULDN'T HAVE
BEEN A NORMAL TRIAL.
THESE WERE ANIMALS IN A ZOO.
[Screaming, Shouting]
THEY WERE OBSERVING. HERE.
OVER THERE, A CAMERA.
[Shouting, Screaming]
[Shouting, Screaming Continue]
WE SCOURED THE CLINIC.
THERE WERE FOUR HOLES IN THE
CEILING MOLDING, ONE IN EACH CORNER.
THEY COULD HAVE
HOUSED VIDEO CAMERAS.
THE GLASS IN THE DOOR
WAS REPLACED AT SOME POINT.
HAIR AND FIBERS CONSISTENT WITH A
MULTIPURPOSE ROOM USED BY MANY PEOPLE.
SOME LATENT BLOOD STAINS, BUT THAT'S
HARDLY UNUSUAL IN A MEDICAL SETTING.
THE DRUG COMPANY RELEASED
THE TEST RECORDS TO US.
NO NAMES, OF COURSE,
BUT THEY CONFIRM...
THAT DAVID MARX
WAS IN THE TRIAL.
LEFT AT 3:45 P.M.
[Frank] WHOSE SIGNATURE IS
THIS? THE ATTENDING NURSE.
WE'RE TRYING TO CONTACT HER.
SO IT APPEARS YOU
WERE IN THIS TRIAL.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER
TAKEN THE DRUG.
THEN WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO YOU CAME LATER.
EVERYONE WAS AFFECTED.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN IN
THE WATER DISPENSER.
NO, IT WAS FINE. WE
CHECKED. IT HAD TO BE.
FRANK, LISTEN TO ME.
YOUR HANDS WERE CUT UP.
THERE WAS BLOOD ALL OVER THEM.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. AND
THIS PERSON THAT YOU SAY DIED...
DID DIE. YOU DON'T KNOW
WHERE YOU'VE BEEN...
OR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
THE GROUP WANTS YOU TO
COME IN AND TALK TO SOMEONE.
DANNY'S BEEN IN TOUCH
WITH THE TRIAL PARTICIPANTS.
HE'S GATHERING THEM TOGETHER
TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME.
MOXIE HERE IS JUST CLUMSY.
SEE? THAT'S HOW THAT
HAPPENED. [Chuckles]
WELL, I WAS SCARED.
THAT GOES WITH BEING PARANOID.
- DID YOU SEE ME THERE?
- SURE.
- YOU WERE WRITING DOWN THINGS.
- THAT WAS THE NURSE.
- [Shouting, Screaming]
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT
ALL THIS STINK IS ABOUT.
BELIEVE ME, I SAW MUCH
WORSE DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS.
[Chuckles] SOME KIND OF
ANTI-ALZHEIMER CONCOCTION...
THAT THEY'RE TRYING
TO SNAKE PAST THE F.D.A.
EVERYONE WAS CRAZY-CORN
FOR A WHOLE WEEK AFTERWARDS.
I HEARD EVERYONE
WAS DRUNK AS SKUNKS.
GREAT TURNOUT. [Woman]
THAT'S YOU, SWEETHEART.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY
DO THIS FOR A LIVING? [Chattering]
BE HUMAN GUINEA PIGS?
THOUSANDS AT TRIALS EVERY YEAR.
- [Man] HE BLINDED HIMSELF.
- THAT'S OEDIPUS, DEAR.
WITH HIS OWN HANDS. I SAW IT.
[Man #2] HEY, I SAW YOU
TEAR YOUR OWN NOSE OFF,
BUT THERE IT IS,
ON YOUR UGLY FACE.
SO WHAT'S THAT ABOUT, HUH?
THE MAN WHO BLINDED HIMSELF,
THAT'S WHO DIED.
BASED ON WHAT? ON
WHAT YOU HEARD IN THERE?
- FRANK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH THESE PEOPLE?
- TRYING TO FIND OUT.
SO YOU TRUST SOME SHUT-IN
YOU MET OVER THE INTERNET?
YOU HAVE TO BE HONEST
WITH ME. I HAVE BEEN.
NO, YOU HAVE NOT
BEEN. YOU MISLED US...
WHEN YOU CONCOCTED GROUP
BUSINESS TO TAKE YOU TO YAKIMA.
- YOU MISLED YOUR WIFE.
- THAT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM.
I AM THE PERSON WHO
HAD TO GO TO YOUR HOUSE...
AND TELL YOUR WIFE
THAT YOU WERE MISSING.
YOU'RE NOT BEING
HONEST WITH ANYBODY.
I AM TRYING... VERY HARD.
[Sighs]
FRANK!
[Woman On P.A., Indistinct]
EXCUSE ME. JUST A MOMENT.
I'M LOOKING FOR A MAN THAT MAY
HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TWO DAYS AGO,
SUFFERING FROM
SEVERE EYE DAMAGE.
SORRY. PATIENT RECORDS
ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN ADMITTED WITH ME.
I WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY MORNING.
MY NAME IS DAVID MARX.
WAIT HERE. I'LL
SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
THANK YOU.
[Shouting, Screaming]
- [Woman] HE WAS RIGHT HERE.
- VIOLENT, HUH?
[Woman] THE GUY NEARLY BROKE JACKSON'S
ARM. YOU KNOW, THAT NEW ORDERLY.
[Guard] WHY'D YOU RELEASE HIM?
WE DIDN'T! HE FOUGHT HIS WAY OUT.
I THOUGHT THE MEDICAL RECORDS
WOULD HELP ME REMEMBER.
- THEY'LL SHOW UP.
- NO. HE HAS THEM.
- WHO?
- [Sighs]
PETER CALLED.
I KNOW IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE
IT, BUT HE'S TRYING TO HELP.
THEN HE SHOULD BE LOOKING
FOR THE MAN WHO DIED...
INSTEAD OF QUESTIONING
WHETHER OR NOT IT EVER HAPPENED.
HE DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU?
HE SAYS I LIED TO
EVERYONE, INCLUDING YOU.
HE TOLD ME SOME
THINGS ABOUT PROLOFT.
THAT IT'S BEING CERTIFIED TO TREAT
CERTAIN TEMPORAL LOBE ANOMALIES,
HALLUCINATIONS.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER
TAKEN THE DRUG.
I KNOW THAT. I... THAT'S
NOT WHAT I MEAN.
I MEAN,
IT MAKES A KIND OF SENSE
THAT YOU WERE AT THE TRIAL.
NOT TO ME.
YOU HAD TO HAVE A GOOD REASON
TO CONTACT DANNY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
FRANK,
I KNOW YOU WOULD
NEVER LIE TO ME.
SO NOW YOU JUST HAVE
TO FIND THE GUY WHO DIED.
I MUST'VE SEEN
HIM AT THE CLINIC.
THEY FOUND YOU THERE
AFTER YOU LEFT THE HOSPITAL.
WHATEVER DREW YOU BACK MUST
HAVE BEEN PRETTY IMPORTANT.
[Shouting, Screaming]
[Clanging]
[Dog Barking]
[Whistles] HEY!
STOP THE TRUCK. TURN IT OFF.
GIVE ME YOUR FLASHLIGHT.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.
[Peter] LACERATIONS,
BRUISES, DEFENSIVE MARKS.
[Camera Shutter Clicking]
PROBABLY FINISHED HER
OFF WITH A BLOW HERE.
THE OCCIPITAL BONE
IS SHATTERED. [Sighs]
WHATEVER CAUSED THE CUTS ON YOUR
HANDS IS NOT WHAT WAS USED TO KILL HER.
MY GUESS IS A ROCK, A
PIPE, SOMETHING AD HOC.
DISPOSAL OF THE BODY READS THE SAME
WAY. A STRUGGLE. NOT PREMEDITATED.
CERTAINLY NOT WELL PLANNED.
HE DOESN'T SEE
HIMSELF AS A KILLER.
I THINK A JURY WOULD DISAGREE.
BUT YOU WERE RIGHT. SOMEBODY DIED.
SHE'S NOT THE ONE.
THIS GUY KILLED TWO
PEOPLE? [Softly] YEAH.
WHOEVER IT IS HAS TO BE
SOMEHOW HOOKED INTO THIS TRIAL.
A PARTICIPANT, SOMEONE
FROM THE DRUG COMPANY.
A MAN OF SCIENCE.
THERE WAS SOMEONE I WAS
SUPPOSED TO SEE. SOME EXPERT.
THAT'S WHY I WENT TO THE TRIALS.
[Knocking On Door]
THAT'S THE NURSE FROM THE TRIAL.
DEAD? YEAH.
THERE'S ANOTHER BODY. WE
JUST HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET.
YOU LED ME TO THE MAN THAT
WAS CONNECTED WITH THE TRIALS.
HE'S SOME KIND OF EXPERT
ON PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS.
YOU SAW WHO I KNOW.
THEY WOULDN'T DO THIS.
HE ALMOST KILLED ME. WHO IS HE?
I DON'T KNOW! ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW!
I TRUSTED YOU!
WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?
DID YOU LIE ABOUT THAT TOO?
I HAVE A WIFE AND A DAUGHTER.
YEAH, BUT YOU DON'T
REALLY SEE THINGS, DO YOU?
I DO.
I HAVE A DAUGHTER.
ONE NIGHT WHEN MY WIFE WAS
OUT, I WAS TAKING CARE OF HER.
THEY FOUND ME ON THE
HIGHWAY TRYING TO RUN INTO CARS.
THE LIGHTS... I
THOUGHT IT WAS...
THE ROAD TO HEAVEN.
BEAUTIFUL CHILD. [Sighs]
I THANK THE LORD EVERY DAY I
DIDN'T DRAG HER OUT THERE WITH ME.
IT'S OKAY FOR ME... THIS.
BUT... MY DAUGHTER...
GOD, I WORRY WHAT SHE
MIGHT HAVE INHERITED FROM ME.
[Pager Vibrating]
I'VE GOTTA GO.
LOOK, THIS IS MY PHONE NUMBER...
IF ANYTHING COMES UP.
OR CALL IF YOU WANT TO CALL.
SO YOU WERE RIGHT. THE
WATER WAS CONTAMINATED.
I THOUGHT YOU CHECKED IT. WE
DID. AND MASS SPECTROMETRY I.D.'D...
A TRACE RESIDUE OF MESMERTINE
HYDROCHLORIDE IN A SPILL TROUGH.
- WHICH IS WHAT?
- PROLOFT.
WE SIMPLY THOUGHT SOMEONE FROM
THE TRIAL HAD SPIT OUT THEIR MEDICATION.
SO WHY ARE WE HERE?
SANDY GEIGER, FRANK BLACK.
HI. SANDY RUNS THE X-RAY
DIFFRACTION FACILITY.
SHE HAD A LOOK AT THE
RESIDUE FROM THE SPILL TROUGH.
I THOUGHT IT WAS
PROLOFT. YES AND NO.
YOU'LL LOVE THIS.
SO WHAT ARE WE LOOKING
AT? STEREOISOMERS.
TWO DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS
OF MESMERTINE HYDROCHLORIDE.
SAME CHEMICAL FORMULA. MASS
SPECTROMETRY CAN'T TELL THEM APART.
- BUT LOOK AT THIS.
- [Beeping]
TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT 3-D
STRUCTURES. MIRROR IMAGES.
LIKE THALIDOMIDE, THE
MOLECULE HAD TWO FORMS.
ONE PREVENTED MISCARRIAGES, BUT THE
FLIP SIDE CAUSED SEVERE BIRTH DEFECTS.
I REMEMBER THAT.
THIS IS PROLOFT.
IT ADJUSTS SEROTONIN
LEVELS, CONTROLS ANXIETY.
BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU GAVE ME.
STRUCTURALLY, IT'S
CLOSE TO MOLECULES...
THAT LOWER THE THRESHOLD
FOR TEMPORAL LOBE SEIZURES.
[Shouting, Screaming]
CAUSING FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT RESPONSE
AND OTHER PRIMAL BEHAVIORS.
- ALMOST THE OPPOSITE OF PROLOFT.
- EVIL TWIN.
I HAD A DRINK OF WATER. I NEVER
KNOWINGLY TOOK THE DRUG.
ANTI-PROLOFT,
ACCESS TO THE TRIAL...
HAS TO BE SOMEONE
FROM THE DRUG COMPANY.
- WAS DANNY ANY HELP?
- NOT YET.
BEDFORD SHRIVER
HAS 2,000 EMPLOYEES.
IF WE GO IN BLIND, WE
COULD TIP THEM OFF.
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS... A TRIAL.
HE'S TESTING HIS PRODUCT
FOR SOMETHING BIGGER.
MASSIVE CONTAMINATION
AFTER PROLOFT IS CERTIFIED?
I'M NOT SO SURE
HE'LL WAIT THAT LONG.
[Typing]
[Knocking On Door]
[Man] DANNY, OPEN THE
DOOR. I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
[Grunting] [Straining] DANNY.
OPEN THE DOOR! I
JUST WANNA TALK!
[Shouts]
[Catherine] FRANK, I'M SO GLAD
YOU CALLED. HOW ARE YOU?
BETTER. WE'RE FINALLY MAKING
SOME PROGRESS ON THIS THING.
- JORDAN ASLEEP?
- OF COURSE. DO YOU KNOW HOW LATE IT IS?
LONG DAY.
PETER AND I HAVE BEEN
ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I TAKE IT YOU SAW DANNY MILLER.
WHY?
HE LEFT KIND OF A
NUTTY MESSAGE FOR YOU.
HANG ON. I'LL PLAY IT FOR YOU.
[Beeps] FRANK, DAVID.
AFTER YOU TWO LEFT,
I STARTED THINKING...
WHY FEEL BAD WHEN
YOU CAN FEEL GOOD?
IT'S A CHOICE WE MAKE.
AND I'M... I'M READY
TO HEAD OUTSIDE.

[Man #2] THE GUY JUST
WALKED OUT IN FRONT OF ME.
HE WALKED RIGHT
OUT IN FRONT OF ME.
YOU SAW IT, MAN.
HE RAN RIGHT AT ME.
THERE WAS NOTHING I
COULD DO. IT WASN'T MY FAULT.
YEAH, I KNOW. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
PETER.
ANY WORD ON WHO DANNY
CONTACTED AT BEDFORD SHRIVER?
IT'S BAD. RIGHT HERE.
ONCE HE GOT GOING, HE
TALKED TO HALF THE COMPANY.
- OBVIOUSLY HE GOT TO OUR GUY.
- I STAYED AT HIS APARTMENT...
UNTIL THE FIBER CREW SHOWED UP.
I'M SURE THEY'LL COME UP
WITH SOMETHING. IT TAKES TIME.
I ALSO WENT THROUGH
SOME OF HIS THINGS.
YOU FIND ANYTHING? YEAH.
DR. DANIEL MILLER IS
DEFINITELY FOR REAL.
TOP OF HIS CLASS AT
CORNELL. CHI SIGMA DELTA.
DID HIS POSTDOCTORATE WORK AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
STACKS OF LETTERS
FROM GRATEFUL PATIENTS.
THEN IT ALL ENDED IN 1986.
BUT HE HAD A LOT OF FANS.
UNTIL HIS BREAKDOWN.
EVEN AFTER THAT.
HE HOOKED PEOPLE UP
WITH EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS.
HE HELPED GET
THEM INTO THE TRIALS.
EVEN PEOPLE IN THE
LATE STAGES OF AIDS,
PSYCH PATIENTS WHO DIDN'T
RESPOND TO APPROVED THERAPIES.
A DOCTOR OF LAST RESORTS.
HE HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE.
THOSE ARE HIS SHEETS
ON THE TRIAL PARTICIPANTS.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT
TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED.
DANNY LEFT US A MESSAGE.
I HAVE A HARD TIME
BELIEVING HANS INGRAM...
COULD DO THE KIND OF
THINGS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
HE DID. HE'S BEEN A MODEL
EMPLOYEE FOR 16 YEARS.
LONG HOURS, NEVER MISSES A DAY.
EXCEPT TODAY. WOULDN'T YOU KNOW?
WHAT I MEAN IS
THERE WAS NO SIGN.
NO ONE.
THAT'S A BAD SIGN.
DOES THIS SEEM MAYBE, UH,
SLIGHTLY OBSESSIVE TO YOU?
A GUY THIS NEAT'S NOT GONNA BE TOO
HAPPY ABOUT GETTING HIS DOOR BROKEN.
GET A LOAD OF THIS.
HMM.
LOOKS HUMAN.
[Liquid Dripping]
HALF THE COUNTRY'S ON
ANTIDEPRESSANTS ALREADY.
PROLOFT WILL SNAG
20 MILLION MORE.
FIFTY MILLION PEOPLE MEDICATED.
WELCOME TO THE AGE OF AQUARIUS.
THIS GUY WITH
HIS ANTI-PROLOFT...
PROBABLY THINKS HE'S
DOING US ALL A FAVOR, RIGHT?
[Phone Rings]
YES?
FOR YOU. PETER WATTS.
PETER.
WE FOUND THE OTHER BODY...
OCCULAR TRAUMA,
TISSUE SAMPLES REMOVED,
TURNED INTO A LAB
SPECIMEN... BUT NO INGRAM.
- HOW ABOUT YOU?
- A HOPPER OF IBUPROFEN
A KILO HEAVY.
- THEY'RE TESTING IT
FOR CONTAMINANTS.
- MAYBE WE GOT HIM IN TIME.
[Frank] FROM WHAT I'M SEEING,
DOSING RANDOM BOTTLES OF
ASPIRIN WON'T DO IT FOR HIM.
I THINK HE'S GONNA
MAKE A GRANDER POINT.
DOES BEDFORD SHRIVER MAKE A
PRODUCT CALLED SMOOTH TIME?
- YOU MAKE SMOOTH TIME?
- I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT.
- NO. WHY?
- HIS GRAND POINT.
- I THINK WE GOT A BOX
OF IT HERE.
- [People Shouting]
[Screaming]
[People Clamoring]
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Sirens Wailing]
[Man On Radio] ALL UNITS IN THE
GATEWAY SECTOR, ALL DISTRICTS,
WE HAVE A STAGE ONE ALERT.
PROCEED IMMEDIATELY
TO 6221 19th STREET.
- 6221 19th STREET.
- [Clamoring Continues]
HANG ON. HELP IS
COMING. HANG ON.
FRANK, HE'S HANDING OUT BOGUS PRODUCT
SAMPLES TO PEOPLE ON THEIR WAY TO WORK.
DO YOU HAVE HIM? HE'S
GOTTA BE LONG GONE.
NO, HE RECORDS EVERYTHING.
HE WOULDN'T MISS THIS.
[Clamoring Continues]
WHERE'S SECURITY?
UPSTAIRS, LEFT.
[Groaning] [Men Shouting]
I SAW YOU COMING.
I COULD'VE LEFT.
AGITATION, 8.5. YOU WERE WILD.
I LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU.
- YOU POISONED ME.
- I HAD A PLAN. YOU STEPPED ON IT.
LOOK AT THEM! LOOK
AT THESE PEOPLE!
- YOU POISONED THEM ALL.
- NO! THEY POISONED THEMSELVES.
NOW LOOK AT THIS!
PEOPLE WILL TAKE ANYTHING!
WE'RE A NATION OF ZOMBIES.
PEOPLE ARE DYING OUT THERE!
HALF THE COUNTRY'S DEAD!
THE COMPANY I WORK
FOR PUTS PEOPLE TO SLEEP.
AND YOU WAKE THEM
UP! THAT'S RIGHT!
AND WHEN THIS IS OVER, WILL EVERYONE
GO BACK TO THEIR ZOMBIE LIVES?
I DON'T THINK SO! SO
YOU MADE YOUR BIG POINT.
YES! YOU KILLED A
NURSE. YOU KILLED DANNY.
WHAT KIND OF POINT IS THAT?
I HAD A PLAN. I...
CUFF HIM.
I HAD A PLAN, AND YOU RUINED IT.
- I HAD A PLAN.
- [Geibelhouse] YEAH,
I GOT A PLAN FOR YOU... PRISON.
HE WAS HERE BEFORE,
IN YOUR OFFICE.
I KNOW. I'LL BE
RIGHT BACK. OKAY.
[Grunts]
LOOKS LIKE THE BODY COUNT'S
GONNA HOLD STEADY AT FOUR.
COULD'VE BEEN WORSE. IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN A LOT WORSE IF YOU HADN'T FOUND HIM.
I THOUGHT YOU'D BETTER HAVE
THIS. DAVID MARX. DID YOU SEE IT?
WHILE YOU WERE AT THAT TRIAL,
WHATEVER YOU WERE
AFTER, THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS.
PETER? THANK YOU.
I'LL SEE YOU.
NO SECRETS.
I GOT DRAWN INTO THESE TRIALS
BECAUSE I WANTED TO FIND OUT SOMETHING.
A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHEN
HELEN WAS ABDUCTED,
SOMETHING HAPPENED
THAT MADE ME WONDER...
IF JORDAN HAS THIS
THING... THAT I HAVE.
I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T WANT HER
TO SEE THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE SEEN.
WE DON'T WANT HER TO LIVE IN A WORLD
WHERE THOSE THINGS EXIST, BUT SHE DOES.
AND IF JORDAN HAS
ANY PART OF MY GIFT,
THEN WE'LL BE
THERE TO GUIDE HER.
DADDY, DADDY, DADDY!
YES? COME AND SEE
WHAT BENNY CAN DO!
I TAUGHT HIM MYSELF. YOU DID?
[Jordan] OKAY, BENNY,
SIT. GOOD BOY! GOOD BOY!
[Child] I MADE THIS!
[Sniffing]
[Whining]
[Whining Continues]
[Thunder Continues]
[Person Screams]
[Man] PLEASE STOP!
[Man #2] DON'T TOUCH
ME! [People Shouting]
[Man #3] GET AWAY! GET AWAY!
[Pounding On Door] [Shouting
Continues, Screaming]
[Screaming] [Man #4] STOP HIM!
[Screaming
Continues, Whimpering]
[Shouting]
[Woman] GET BACK!
[Shouting, Screaming Continue]
[Man] THEY BEACH
THEMSELVES HIGHER EACH YEAR.
THEY WANT TO LIVE ON LAND, BUT
SOMEONE KEEPS PUSHING THEM BACK!
[Man] COME ON! [Shouting]
HELP!
HELP! HELP! HELP! HELP!
[Dog Barking]
SIT. SIT, BENNY. SIT. [Panting]
SIT, BENNY. SIT. [Laughs]
- BENNY WON'T SIT!
- [Catherine Laughs]
- YOU DON'T ALWAYS DO
WHAT I TELL YOU TO DO.
- IT'S NOT THE SAME.
[Doorbell Rings] [Gasps]
RACE YOU! [Laughing]
[Laughing]
HEY! HOW'D YOU TWO
GET TO BE SO FAST, HUH?
UM, JORDAN,
WHY DON'T YOU GO AND SEE IF
BENNY WANTS SOMETHING TO EAT, HUH?
HE ALREADY ATE. MAYBE
HE WANTS SOME WATER THEN.
OKAY. COME ON, BEN. OKAY? OKAY.
HI. I'M PETER WATTS.
YES. I-I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
HAS SOMETHING HAPPENED?
UH, DID FRANK CALL
YOU LAST NIGHT?
NO.
BUT HE WOULDN'T IF IT
GOT LATE OR SOMETHING.
WHAT'S GOING ON? HE NEVER
CHECKED IN TO HIS HOTEL IN YAKIMA.
THE POLICE THERE CALLED THIS MORNING
WHEN HE MISSED HIS MEETING WITH THEM.
HAVE YOU CHECKED THE
HOSPITALS? MM-HMM. ALSO
NOTIFIED LAW ENFORCEMENT
ALONG HIS ROUTE,
BUT, UH, NOTHING SO FAR.
OH, MY GOD.
HE SAID HE WAS GONNA
REVIEW A FEW PAPERS.
THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING.
I'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK
THROUGH HIS THINGS, IF I COULD.
MAYBE THE TWO OF US TOGETHER
COULD FIND SOMETHING. YES. COME IN.
LISTEN, I APOLOGIZE
FOR EVEN ASKING THIS,
BUT IS THERE ANYTHING
I SHOULD KNOW?
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT HERE?
YEAH. THINGS HAVE BEEN GOOD.
NOT MUCH ON HIS DESK. LET'S SEE
WHAT'S ON HIS COMPUTER. MAY I?
YES.
- WHAT WAS THIS CASE
THAT YOU SENT HIM ON?
- ROUTINE HOMICIDE REVIEW.
THEN WHY SEND FRANK?
FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, IT'S
SOMETHING HE WANTED TO DO.
GOT A FAIR AMOUNT IF INTERNET
ACTIVITY OUTSIDE THE GROUP.
ONE WEB SITE IN PARTICULAR.
SOME ENCRYPTED CORRESPONDENCE.
WE CAN PROBABLY UNDO THAT.
E-MAIL.
THE CORRESPONDENCE ITSELF HAS BEEN
DELETED, BUT THE DIRECTORY IS INTACT.
YOU EVER HEAR OF
A DR. DANIEL MILLER?
NO.
FRANK'S USING ANOTHER
NAME BESIDES HIS OWN HERE.
DAVID MARX. IS THAT
A FRIEND OF YOURS?
CATHERINE, HELP ME HERE.
FIVE YEARS AGO,
JUST BEFORE FRANK
COLLAPSED, HE USED TO VANISH.
SOMETIMES FOR DAYS AT A TIME.
HE WOULD CHECK INTO
HOTELS USING THAT NAME.
IT WAS A FRIEND OF HIS
WHEN HE WAS A KID, WHO DIED.
MOMMY? UH...
- I'LL BE RIGHT THERE,
SWEETHEART.
- IS DADDY ALL RIGHT?
[Woman On Radio] UNIT 311, BE ADVISED WE
HAVE A DISTURBANCE AT 54th AND LINCOLN.
- PROBABLE 415... D AND D.
- DRUNK AND DISORDERLY.
- PLASMA ROW.
- YEAH, YOUR TURN
TO DO THE HONORS.
YEAH, I KNOW, I KNOW.
WE GOT ANY RUBBER GLOVES
OR ANYTHING IN THERE?
[Chuckles]
[Man] IT'S MINE! GIVE
IT TO ME! [Man, Indistinct]
[Siren Blares]
[Muttering]
[Police Radio Chatter]
ALL RIGHT. BREAK IT UP.
BREAK IT UP!
YOU WANNA HAND THAT TO ME NOW?
I SEE A MAN SOMEWHERE
LATE FOR AN APPOINTMENT.
JACK, WE GOT A GUY
HERE IN SERIOUS SHAPE.
- HI.
- WHERE'S FRANK?
WE GOT A CALL FROM
THE YAKIMA POLICE.
HE WAS IN PRETTY BAD
SHAPE WHEN THEY FOUND HIM.
- HOW YOU DOIN', JORDAN?
- [Jordan] FINE.
[Sighing]
FRANK.
WHAT HAPPENED?
[Jordan] HI, DADDY.
[Exhales Forcefully]
ANY EXPLANATION?
MAYBE HE'LL TALK TO YOU.
HE WAS WEARING THIS
HOSPITAL BRACELET. DAVID MARX.
FRANK.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
I CAN'T REMEMBER.
DAVID MARX. THAT MUST'VE
BEEN SCARY FOR YOU.
I ALREADY KNEW. WE FOUND
THE NAME ON YOUR COMPUTER.
- I USED THAT NAME BEFORE I LEFT?
- ON SOME E-MAIL.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
SOMETHING HAPPENED
TO ME UP THERE.
AND I DON'T KNOW.
I CAN'T REMEMBER.
WHEREVER I WAS,
SOMEONE DIED THERE.
[Man] HERE YOU GO. COME ON IN.
YOU SURE THIS IS
THE RIGHT ADDRESS?
I'M SURE IT'S THE ADDRESS
ON HIS INTERNET ACCOUNT.
[Children Chattering]
[Man] HEY, OUT THERE! SHUT
UP! I'VE WARNED YOU KIDS.
[TV: Indistinct]
- WHAT CAN I DO YOU FOR?
- WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A DR. DANIEL MILLER.
DR. DANIEL MILLER.
YOU MEAN DANNY.
IS HE IN? HE'S IN, ALL RIGHT.
THE GUY HASN'T LEFT THE
BUILDING SINCE I'VE WORKED HERE.
DOWN THE HALL, 109.
I'D LIKE TO TALK TO HIM MYSELF.
TELL HIM HIS RENT'S
TWO WEEKS LATE.
[Door Opens] [Children
Chattering Continues]
DR. MILLER?
THE SUPERINTENDENT
SAID YOU WERE HERE.
MY NAME IS FRANK BLACK.
DAVID MARX. [Door Unlocks]
YOU LIED ABOUT YOUR NAME?
YOU'RE A DOCTOR? [Chuckles]
PLEASE DON'T ANSWER A
QUESTION WITH A QUESTION.
CORNELL MED.
FOURTH IN MY CLASS.
- I CAME TO YOU
FOR MEDICAL ADVICE?
- HERE?
I'VE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE.
YOU'RE BARELY HERE NOW.
YOU REALLY DON'T REMEMBER.
I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY I WOULD
HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH YOU.
- DO YOU REMEMBER THE TRIAL?
- WHAT TRIAL?
SELECTIVE RETROGRADE AMNESIA.
POSSIBLY PSYCHOGENIC.
WHAT KIND OF MEDICINE
DO YOU PRACTICE?
I SAID RIGHT UP FRONT. I
CAN'T PRACTICE ANYMORE.
- WHEN DID YOU TELL ME THIS?
- E-MAIL.
WOW!
I HEARD IT GOT WEIRD, BUT...
THE OTHERS JUST SAID THEY SAW...
CRAZY, CRAZY STUFF.
WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?
I THOUGHT I DID YOU A
FAVOR, ONE TO ANOTHER.
- ONE WHAT TO ANOTHER?
- YOU SAID YOU WERE LIKE ME...
SEEING THINGS.
YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE
LOOKING FOR A CURE.
[Thunder Rumbling]
- YOU WERE HERE?
- ACCORDING TO
DR. DANIEL MILLER.
HE SAID I CONTACTED
HIM ON THE INTERNET.
HE KEEPS TABS ON EXPERIMENTAL
DRUGS AND CLINICAL TRIALS.
TESTING DRUGS BEFORE
THEY'RE APPROVED.
YEAH. HE SAID I WAS INTERESTED
IN A THIRD STAGE EFFICACY TRIAL.
A DRUG CALLED PROLOFT. WHY?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT.
I DON'T EVEN TAKE ASPIRIN.
CAN I HELP YOU? YES. WOULD YOU
KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A CLINICAL TRIAL...
THAT WAS HELD HERE
THIS PAST SUNDAY?
WE'RE CLOSED WEEKENDS.
SIR? MAY I HELP YOU?
SIR, MAY I HELP YOU?
SIR?
[Shouting, Screaming]
IT HAPPENED HERE. THE GLASS...
I BROKE IT WITH MY HANDS.
THIS COULDN'T HAVE
BEEN A NORMAL TRIAL.
THESE WERE ANIMALS IN A ZOO.
[Screaming, Shouting]
THEY WERE OBSERVING. HERE.
OVER THERE, A CAMERA.
[Shouting, Screaming]
[Shouting, Screaming Continue]
WE SCOURED THE CLINIC.
THERE WERE FOUR HOLES IN THE
CEILING MOLDING, ONE IN EACH CORNER.
THEY COULD HAVE
HOUSED VIDEO CAMERAS.
THE GLASS IN THE DOOR
WAS REPLACED AT SOME POINT.
HAIR AND FIBERS CONSISTENT WITH A
MULTIPURPOSE ROOM USED BY MANY PEOPLE.
SOME LATENT BLOOD STAINS, BUT THAT'S
HARDLY UNUSUAL IN A MEDICAL SETTING.
THE DRUG COMPANY RELEASED
THE TEST RECORDS TO US.
NO NAMES, OF COURSE,
BUT THEY CONFIRM...
THAT DAVID MARX
WAS IN THE TRIAL.
LEFT AT 3:45 P.M.
[Frank] WHOSE SIGNATURE IS
THIS? THE ATTENDING NURSE.
WE'RE TRYING TO CONTACT HER.
SO IT APPEARS YOU
WERE IN THIS TRIAL.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER
TAKEN THE DRUG.
THEN WHATEVER HAPPENED
TO YOU CAME LATER.
EVERYONE WAS AFFECTED.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN IN
THE WATER DISPENSER.
NO, IT WAS FINE. WE
CHECKED. IT HAD TO BE.
FRANK, LISTEN TO ME.
YOUR HANDS WERE CUT UP.
THERE WAS BLOOD ALL OVER THEM.
WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. AND
THIS PERSON THAT YOU SAY DIED...
DID DIE. YOU DON'T KNOW
WHERE YOU'VE BEEN...
OR WHAT YOU'VE DONE.
YOU SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
THE GROUP WANTS YOU TO
COME IN AND TALK TO SOMEONE.
DANNY'S BEEN IN TOUCH
WITH THE TRIAL PARTICIPANTS.
HE'S GATHERING THEM TOGETHER
TO FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.
YOU'RE WELCOME TO COME.
MOXIE HERE IS JUST CLUMSY.
SEE? THAT'S HOW THAT
HAPPENED. [Chuckles]
WELL, I WAS SCARED.
THAT GOES WITH BEING PARANOID.
- DID YOU SEE ME THERE?
- SURE.
- YOU WERE WRITING DOWN THINGS.
- THAT WAS THE NURSE.
- [Shouting, Screaming]
- I DON'T KNOW WHAT
ALL THIS STINK IS ABOUT.
BELIEVE ME, I SAW MUCH
WORSE DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS.
[Chuckles] SOME KIND OF
ANTI-ALZHEIMER CONCOCTION...
THAT THEY'RE TRYING
TO SNAKE PAST THE F.D.A.
EVERYONE WAS CRAZY-CORN
FOR A WHOLE WEEK AFTERWARDS.
I HEARD EVERYONE
WAS DRUNK AS SKUNKS.
GREAT TURNOUT. [Woman]
THAT'S YOU, SWEETHEART.
HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY
DO THIS FOR A LIVING? [Chattering]
BE HUMAN GUINEA PIGS?
THOUSANDS AT TRIALS EVERY YEAR.
- [Man] HE BLINDED HIMSELF.
- THAT'S OEDIPUS, DEAR.
WITH HIS OWN HANDS. I SAW IT.
[Man #2] HEY, I SAW YOU
TEAR YOUR OWN NOSE OFF,
BUT THERE IT IS,
ON YOUR UGLY FACE.
SO WHAT'S THAT ABOUT, HUH?
THE MAN WHO BLINDED HIMSELF,
THAT'S WHO DIED.
BASED ON WHAT? ON
WHAT YOU HEARD IN THERE?
- FRANK, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
WITH THESE PEOPLE?
- TRYING TO FIND OUT.
SO YOU TRUST SOME SHUT-IN
YOU MET OVER THE INTERNET?
YOU HAVE TO BE HONEST
WITH ME. I HAVE BEEN.
NO, YOU HAVE NOT
BEEN. YOU MISLED US...
WHEN YOU CONCOCTED GROUP
BUSINESS TO TAKE YOU TO YAKIMA.
- YOU MISLED YOUR WIFE.
- THAT'S NOT YOUR PROBLEM.
I AM THE PERSON WHO
HAD TO GO TO YOUR HOUSE...
AND TELL YOUR WIFE
THAT YOU WERE MISSING.
YOU'RE NOT BEING
HONEST WITH ANYBODY.
I AM TRYING... VERY HARD.
[Sighs]
FRANK!
[Woman On P.A., Indistinct]
EXCUSE ME. JUST A MOMENT.
I'M LOOKING FOR A MAN THAT MAY
HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TWO DAYS AGO,
SUFFERING FROM
SEVERE EYE DAMAGE.
SORRY. PATIENT RECORDS
ARE CONFIDENTIAL.
HE MAY HAVE BEEN ADMITTED WITH ME.
I WAS RELEASED YESTERDAY MORNING.
MY NAME IS DAVID MARX.
WAIT HERE. I'LL
SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
THANK YOU.
[Shouting, Screaming]
- [Woman] HE WAS RIGHT HERE.
- VIOLENT, HUH?
[Woman] THE GUY NEARLY BROKE JACKSON'S
ARM. YOU KNOW, THAT NEW ORDERLY.
[Guard] WHY'D YOU RELEASE HIM?
WE DIDN'T! HE FOUGHT HIS WAY OUT.
I THOUGHT THE MEDICAL RECORDS
WOULD HELP ME REMEMBER.
- THEY'LL SHOW UP.
- NO. HE HAS THEM.
- WHO?
- [Sighs]
PETER CALLED.
I KNOW IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE
IT, BUT HE'S TRYING TO HELP.
THEN HE SHOULD BE LOOKING
FOR THE MAN WHO DIED...
INSTEAD OF QUESTIONING
WHETHER OR NOT IT EVER HAPPENED.
HE DOESN'T BELIEVE YOU?
HE SAYS I LIED TO
EVERYONE, INCLUDING YOU.
HE TOLD ME SOME
THINGS ABOUT PROLOFT.
THAT IT'S BEING CERTIFIED TO TREAT
CERTAIN TEMPORAL LOBE ANOMALIES,
HALLUCINATIONS.
I WOULD HAVE NEVER
TAKEN THE DRUG.
I KNOW THAT. I... THAT'S
NOT WHAT I MEAN.
I MEAN,
IT MAKES A KIND OF SENSE
THAT YOU WERE AT THE TRIAL.
NOT TO ME.
YOU HAD TO HAVE A GOOD REASON
TO CONTACT DANNY IN THE FIRST PLACE.
FRANK,
I KNOW YOU WOULD
NEVER LIE TO ME.
SO NOW YOU JUST HAVE
TO FIND THE GUY WHO DIED.
I MUST'VE SEEN
HIM AT THE CLINIC.
THEY FOUND YOU THERE
AFTER YOU LEFT THE HOSPITAL.
WHATEVER DREW YOU BACK MUST
HAVE BEEN PRETTY IMPORTANT.
[Shouting, Screaming]
[Clanging]
[Dog Barking]
[Whistles] HEY!
STOP THE TRUCK. TURN IT OFF.
GIVE ME YOUR FLASHLIGHT.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD.
[Peter] LACERATIONS,
BRUISES, DEFENSIVE MARKS.
[Camera Shutter Clicking]
PROBABLY FINISHED HER
OFF WITH A BLOW HERE.
THE OCCIPITAL BONE
IS SHATTERED. [Sighs]
WHATEVER CAUSED THE CUTS ON YOUR
HANDS IS NOT WHAT WAS USED TO KILL HER.
MY GUESS IS A ROCK, A
PIPE, SOMETHING AD HOC.
DISPOSAL OF THE BODY READS THE SAME
WAY. A STRUGGLE. NOT PREMEDITATED.
CERTAINLY NOT WELL PLANNED.
HE DOESN'T SEE
HIMSELF AS A KILLER.
I THINK A JURY WOULD DISAGREE.
BUT YOU WERE RIGHT. SOMEBODY DIED.
SHE'S NOT THE ONE.
THIS GUY KILLED TWO
PEOPLE? [Softly] YEAH.
WHOEVER IT IS HAS TO BE
SOMEHOW HOOKED INTO THIS TRIAL.
A PARTICIPANT, SOMEONE
FROM THE DRUG COMPANY.
A MAN OF SCIENCE.
THERE WAS SOMEONE I WAS
SUPPOSED TO SEE. SOME EXPERT.
THAT'S WHY I WENT TO THE TRIALS.
[Knocking On Door]
THAT'S THE NURSE FROM THE TRIAL.
DEAD? YEAH.
THERE'S ANOTHER BODY. WE
JUST HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET.
YOU LED ME TO THE MAN THAT
WAS CONNECTED WITH THE TRIALS.
HE'S SOME KIND OF EXPERT
ON PSYCHOTROPIC DRUGS.
YOU SAW WHO I KNOW.
THEY WOULDN'T DO THIS.
HE ALMOST KILLED ME. WHO IS HE?
I DON'T KNOW! ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T KNOW! I DON'T KNOW!
I TRUSTED YOU!
WHAT ABOUT YOUR FAMILY?
DID YOU LIE ABOUT THAT TOO?
I HAVE A WIFE AND A DAUGHTER.
YEAH, BUT YOU DON'T
REALLY SEE THINGS, DO YOU?
I DO.
I HAVE A DAUGHTER.
ONE NIGHT WHEN MY WIFE WAS
OUT, I WAS TAKING CARE OF HER.
THEY FOUND ME ON THE
HIGHWAY TRYING TO RUN INTO CARS.
THE LIGHTS... I
THOUGHT IT WAS...
THE ROAD TO HEAVEN.
BEAUTIFUL CHILD. [Sighs]
I THANK THE LORD EVERY DAY I
DIDN'T DRAG HER OUT THERE WITH ME.
IT'S OKAY FOR ME... THIS.
BUT... MY DAUGHTER...
GOD, I WORRY WHAT SHE
MIGHT HAVE INHERITED FROM ME.
[Pager Vibrating]
I'VE GOTTA GO.
LOOK, THIS IS MY PHONE NUMBER...
IF ANYTHING COMES UP.
OR CALL IF YOU WANT TO CALL.
SO YOU WERE RIGHT. THE
WATER WAS CONTAMINATED.
I THOUGHT YOU CHECKED IT. WE
DID. AND MASS SPECTROMETRY I.D.'D...
A TRACE RESIDUE OF MESMERTINE
HYDROCHLORIDE IN A SPILL TROUGH.
- WHICH IS WHAT?
- PROLOFT.
WE SIMPLY THOUGHT SOMEONE FROM
THE TRIAL HAD SPIT OUT THEIR MEDICATION.
SO WHY ARE WE HERE?
SANDY GEIGER, FRANK BLACK.
HI. SANDY RUNS THE X-RAY
DIFFRACTION FACILITY.
SHE HAD A LOOK AT THE
RESIDUE FROM THE SPILL TROUGH.
I THOUGHT IT WAS
PROLOFT. YES AND NO.
YOU'LL LOVE THIS.
SO WHAT ARE WE LOOKING
AT? STEREOISOMERS.
TWO DIFFERENT CONFIGURATIONS
OF MESMERTINE HYDROCHLORIDE.
SAME CHEMICAL FORMULA. MASS
SPECTROMETRY CAN'T TELL THEM APART.
- BUT LOOK AT THIS.
- [Beeping]
TWO TOTALLY DIFFERENT 3-D
STRUCTURES. MIRROR IMAGES.
LIKE THALIDOMIDE, THE
MOLECULE HAD TWO FORMS.
ONE PREVENTED MISCARRIAGES, BUT THE
FLIP SIDE CAUSED SEVERE BIRTH DEFECTS.
I REMEMBER THAT.
THIS IS PROLOFT.
IT ADJUSTS SEROTONIN
LEVELS, CONTROLS ANXIETY.
BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU GAVE ME.
STRUCTURALLY, IT'S
CLOSE TO MOLECULES...
THAT LOWER THE THRESHOLD
FOR TEMPORAL LOBE SEIZURES.
[Shouting, Screaming]
CAUSING FIGHT-OR-FLIGHT RESPONSE
AND OTHER PRIMAL BEHAVIORS.
- ALMOST THE OPPOSITE OF PROLOFT.
- EVIL TWIN.
I HAD A DRINK OF WATER. I NEVER
KNOWINGLY TOOK THE DRUG.
ANTI-PROLOFT,
ACCESS TO THE TRIAL...
HAS TO BE SOMEONE
FROM THE DRUG COMPANY.
- WAS DANNY ANY HELP?
- NOT YET.
BEDFORD SHRIVER
HAS 2,000 EMPLOYEES.
IF WE GO IN BLIND, WE
COULD TIP THEM OFF.
THAT'S WHAT THIS IS... A TRIAL.
HE'S TESTING HIS PRODUCT
FOR SOMETHING BIGGER.
MASSIVE CONTAMINATION
AFTER PROLOFT IS CERTIFIED?
I'M NOT SO SURE
HE'LL WAIT THAT LONG.
[Typing]
[Knocking On Door]
[Man] DANNY, OPEN THE
DOOR. I NEED TO TALK TO YOU.
[Grunting] [Straining] DANNY.
OPEN THE DOOR! I
JUST WANNA TALK!
[Shouts]
[Catherine] FRANK, I'M SO GLAD
YOU CALLED. HOW ARE YOU?
BETTER. WE'RE FINALLY MAKING
SOME PROGRESS ON THIS THING.
- JORDAN ASLEEP?
- OF COURSE. DO YOU KNOW HOW LATE IT IS?
LONG DAY.
PETER AND I HAVE BEEN
ALL OVER THE PLACE.
I TAKE IT YOU SAW DANNY MILLER.
WHY?
HE LEFT KIND OF A
NUTTY MESSAGE FOR YOU.
HANG ON. I'LL PLAY IT FOR YOU.
[Beeps] FRANK, DAVID.
AFTER YOU TWO LEFT,
I STARTED THINKING...
WHY FEEL BAD WHEN
YOU CAN FEEL GOOD?
IT'S A CHOICE WE MAKE.
AND I'M... I'M READY
TO HEAD OUTSIDE.

[Man #2] THE GUY JUST
WALKED OUT IN FRONT OF ME.
HE WALKED RIGHT
OUT IN FRONT OF ME.
YOU SAW IT, MAN.
HE RAN RIGHT AT ME.
THERE WAS NOTHING I
COULD DO. IT WASN'T MY FAULT.
YEAH, I KNOW. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
PETER.
ANY WORD ON WHO DANNY
CONTACTED AT BEDFORD SHRIVER?
IT'S BAD. RIGHT HERE.
ONCE HE GOT GOING, HE
TALKED TO HALF THE COMPANY.
- OBVIOUSLY HE GOT TO OUR GUY.
- I STAYED AT HIS APARTMENT...
UNTIL THE FIBER CREW SHOWED UP.
I'M SURE THEY'LL COME UP
WITH SOMETHING. IT TAKES TIME.
I ALSO WENT THROUGH
SOME OF HIS THINGS.
YOU FIND ANYTHING? YEAH.
DR. DANIEL MILLER IS
DEFINITELY FOR REAL.
TOP OF HIS CLASS AT
CORNELL. CHI SIGMA DELTA.
DID HIS POSTDOCTORATE WORK AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.
STACKS OF LETTERS
FROM GRATEFUL PATIENTS.
THEN IT ALL ENDED IN 1986.
BUT HE HAD A LOT OF FANS.
UNTIL HIS BREAKDOWN.
EVEN AFTER THAT.
HE HOOKED PEOPLE UP
WITH EXPERIMENTAL DRUGS.
HE HELPED GET
THEM INTO THE TRIALS.
EVEN PEOPLE IN THE
LATE STAGES OF AIDS,
PSYCH PATIENTS WHO DIDN'T
RESPOND TO APPROVED THERAPIES.
A DOCTOR OF LAST RESORTS.
HE HELPED A LOT OF PEOPLE.
THOSE ARE HIS SHEETS
ON THE TRIAL PARTICIPANTS.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT WANT
TO TELL THEM WHAT HAPPENED.
DANNY LEFT US A MESSAGE.
I HAVE A HARD TIME
BELIEVING HANS INGRAM...
COULD DO THE KIND OF
THINGS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
HE DID. HE'S BEEN A MODEL
EMPLOYEE FOR 16 YEARS.
LONG HOURS, NEVER MISSES A DAY.
EXCEPT TODAY. WOULDN'T YOU KNOW?
WHAT I MEAN IS
THERE WAS NO SIGN.
NO ONE.
THAT'S A BAD SIGN.
DOES THIS SEEM MAYBE, UH,
SLIGHTLY OBSESSIVE TO YOU?
A GUY THIS NEAT'S NOT GONNA BE TOO
HAPPY ABOUT GETTING HIS DOOR BROKEN.
GET A LOAD OF THIS.
HMM.
LOOKS HUMAN.
[Liquid Dripping]
HALF THE COUNTRY'S ON
ANTIDEPRESSANTS ALREADY.
PROLOFT WILL SNAG
20 MILLION MORE.
FIFTY MILLION PEOPLE MEDICATED.
WELCOME TO THE AGE OF AQUARIUS.
THIS GUY WITH
HIS ANTI-PROLOFT...
PROBABLY THINKS HE'S
DOING US ALL A FAVOR, RIGHT?
[Phone Rings]
YES?
FOR YOU. PETER WATTS.
PETER.
WE FOUND THE OTHER BODY...
OCCULAR TRAUMA,
TISSUE SAMPLES REMOVED,
TURNED INTO A LAB
SPECIMEN... BUT NO INGRAM.
- HOW ABOUT YOU?
- A HOPPER OF IBUPROFEN
A KILO HEAVY.
- THEY'RE TESTING IT
FOR CONTAMINANTS.
- MAYBE WE GOT HIM IN TIME.
[Frank] FROM WHAT I'M SEEING,
DOSING RANDOM BOTTLES OF
ASPIRIN WON'T DO IT FOR HIM.
I THINK HE'S GONNA
MAKE A GRANDER POINT.
DOES BEDFORD SHRIVER MAKE A
PRODUCT CALLED SMOOTH TIME?
- YOU MAKE SMOOTH TIME?
- I'VE NEVER HEARD OF IT.
- NO. WHY?
- HIS GRAND POINT.
- I THINK WE GOT A BOX
OF IT HERE.
- [People Shouting]
[Screaming]
[People Clamoring]
[Police Radio Chatter]
[Sirens Wailing]
[Man On Radio] ALL UNITS IN THE
GATEWAY SECTOR, ALL DISTRICTS,
WE HAVE A STAGE ONE ALERT.
PROCEED IMMEDIATELY
TO 6221 19th STREET.
- 6221 19th STREET.
- [Clamoring Continues]
HANG ON. HELP IS
COMING. HANG ON.
FRANK, HE'S HANDING OUT BOGUS PRODUCT
SAMPLES TO PEOPLE ON THEIR WAY TO WORK.
DO YOU HAVE HIM? HE'S
GOTTA BE LONG GONE.
NO, HE RECORDS EVERYTHING.
HE WOULDN'T MISS THIS.
[Clamoring Continues]
WHERE'S SECURITY?
UPSTAIRS, LEFT.
[Groaning] [Men Shouting]
I SAW YOU COMING.
I COULD'VE LEFT.
AGITATION, 8.5. YOU WERE WILD.
I LEARNED A LOT FROM YOU.
- YOU POISONED ME.
- I HAD A PLAN. YOU STEPPED ON IT.
LOOK AT THEM! LOOK
AT THESE PEOPLE!
- YOU POISONED THEM ALL.
- NO! THEY POISONED THEMSELVES.
NOW LOOK AT THIS!
PEOPLE WILL TAKE ANYTHING!
WE'RE A NATION OF ZOMBIES.
PEOPLE ARE DYING OUT THERE!
HALF THE COUNTRY'S DEAD!
THE COMPANY I WORK
FOR PUTS PEOPLE TO SLEEP.
AND YOU WAKE THEM
UP! THAT'S RIGHT!
AND WHEN THIS IS OVER, WILL EVERYONE
GO BACK TO THEIR ZOMBIE LIVES?
I DON'T THINK SO! SO
YOU MADE YOUR BIG POINT.
YES! YOU KILLED A
NURSE. YOU KILLED DANNY.
WHAT KIND OF POINT IS THAT?
I HAD A PLAN. I...
CUFF HIM.
I HAD A PLAN, AND YOU RUINED IT.
- I HAD A PLAN.
- [Geibelhouse] YEAH,
I GOT A PLAN FOR YOU... PRISON.
HE WAS HERE BEFORE,
IN YOUR OFFICE.
I KNOW. I'LL BE
RIGHT BACK. OKAY.
[Grunts]
LOOKS LIKE THE BODY COUNT'S
GONNA HOLD STEADY AT FOUR.
COULD'VE BEEN WORSE. IT WOULD HAVE
BEEN A LOT WORSE IF YOU HADN'T FOUND HIM.
I THOUGHT YOU'D BETTER HAVE
THIS. DAVID MARX. DID YOU SEE IT?
WHILE YOU WERE AT THAT TRIAL,
WHATEVER YOU WERE
AFTER, THAT'S YOUR BUSINESS.
PETER? THANK YOU.
I'LL SEE YOU.
NO SECRETS.
I GOT DRAWN INTO THESE TRIALS
BECAUSE I WANTED TO FIND OUT SOMETHING.
A FEW WEEKS AGO, WHEN
HELEN WAS ABDUCTED,
SOMETHING HAPPENED
THAT MADE ME WONDER...
IF JORDAN HAS THIS
THING... THAT I HAVE.
I KNOW THAT YOU DON'T WANT HER
TO SEE THE THINGS THAT YOU'VE SEEN.
WE DON'T WANT HER TO LIVE IN A WORLD
WHERE THOSE THINGS EXIST, BUT SHE DOES.
AND IF JORDAN HAS
ANY PART OF MY GIFT,
THEN WE'LL BE
THERE TO GUIDE HER.
DADDY, DADDY, DADDY!
YES? COME AND SEE
WHAT BENNY CAN DO!
I TAUGHT HIM MYSELF. YOU DID?
[Jordan] OKAY, BENNY,
SIT. GOOD BOY! GOOD BOY!
[Child] I MADE THIS!
