"It's okay" "I'm Grant" "You're in a shelter called Transitions." "You're safe here" "You're still not hearing me." "I am Grant" "You're not reading my lips either" "Well, however you got this way, I'm going to find out soon enough" "New.!" "New.!" "New.!" "She's got severe hearing damage" "Symptoms suggest acute tinnitus" "Would you like this?" "A cop friend said the shooting left her almost completely deaf and with tinnitus" "I had no idea the condition at its worse could stop you from even functioning" "She said the condition started to taper off around the time we found her" "Here she comes" "Liza , this is Doctor Keller" "Mr. Porter, we cannot move forward" "These rats are the only survivors" "And look at their psychotic behavior" "Within days they all become like this" "Overreacting at even the slightest sound" "You brought me here all the way from Washington" "Because I wanted you to see how this auto sight infusion is not working" "Let's figure the rats" "I've been funding this thing for 2 years" "Look I have already explained to you that N.l.H. guidelines require my partner and I" "Doctor, the sign of a great scientist is the willingness to take risks" " When prudent" " When do the human trials begin?"

"If I was deaf" "The doctor who gave you the hearing aid." "He sent it a few days ago" " Why didn't you tell me?" " It's an experimental treatment" "It's never been tested on humans" "You've only had the hearing aid for a few weeks" "The doc said it could sometimes take a while for it to work right" "This half in half out and..."

"Genetically engineered cells are put into a solution and then they are injected through an I.V." "The cells find their way to your inner ear and up to the cochlea" "When you lost your hearing, billions of cells here were damaged" "Our infusion cells should replace these damaged cells and..." "Hopefully, in a couple of days you'll be able to hear again" "Okay" "Thank you" " Doctor?" " We're hoping for the best, Mr. Porter" "We've recruited all 15 subjects" "The first 6 patients got their hearing back" "Good." "You took a risk, now it's paying off" "Some complain of loud sounds and can't sleep" "But, maybe that's just nerves" " What day is she on?" " Five" "Getaway!" " I have to get out!"

" Don't panic" " The rats were never quite right but your friend, Mr. Porter" "You were just as willing to move forward as I was" " You make sense of this mess!" " Alright" "Their hearing range is definitely expanded" "It's just that the extreme volume keeps them from sleeping 72 hours without sleep would make anybody psychotic" " This is a disaster" " Patient 14 is sleeping normally" " What day is she on again?" " Five" " Patients 13 and 15?" " They're just mildly psychotic" "Let's see how patient 14 is doing" " Are they releasing you yet?" " No." "You can come in" " But you hear me like normal?" " Yes, I can hear you, Grant" " This is great news - 0k." "I'll talk to you later" "Keep me posted ok?" "I got to run" "Well this is wonderful" "It is just what we talked about." "You're feeling okay?" "Forgive me for asking a technical question" "But, what's the quality of the sounds you're hearing?" "My social worker, he..." "He sounded squeaky" "Nothing else unusual?" "That high-pitched whistle?" "Another issue is cropped up" "We would like to move you" "Can I take a walk outside first?" "I'd like to get some fresh air" "You know I don't think that's a good idea" "I think it's fine if we are not here when you return, you'll find us in Audiology where we did the audio tests?" "Alright" "A few months ago" "I thought I would never be normal again and..." "I..." "Thank You" " We'll see you up in Audiology - 0k" "I wonder what she looks like naked." "You have to get your mind off sex" "Stop it!" "Don't take this boy from me" "I wish he was never born knowing he might die so soon" "It's terrible to think it but I can see what that woman in Texas might have been thinking when she drowned her babies in their tub" "They should have pop corn at the doctor's office" "He sees you're wearing it, he'll get upset" "Make on like everything's fine" "The treatment might work" "And she knows it..." "I got to put more money in the meter" "I don't want to see her deteriorating like that... if he comes out of this operation well" "If he believes he's a man trapped in a woman's body" "If she doesn't get out of my face, I swear I'm going to..." "She's talking to that lady..." "Rudy, from the bay" "The tests don't make sense" "Every patient is hearing sounds far beyond normal with hyper acoustic sensitivity" "The rats heard things way too loud, just like the humans now" "Why can't any of them sleep?" "Sounds keeping them awake" "Hsieh thinks he can play the innocent" "He knows damned well he pussy-footed around the F.D.A." "Kramer and his ambitions" " Liza" " We change that quickly..." "Patient 14" "What's happening?" "Don't panic." "It could be a momentary effect" "Doubtful" "Get to talking about what she's experiencing" "What are you hearing now?" "Don't make her more anxious" "Anxiety could trigger a chemical reaction that would make her psychotic" "She's our last hope" "Voices coming from both of you" " Bizarre" " Every patient..." " Everywhere" " Do they sound louder or normal?" "I don't know" "The voices are fainter like whispering to themselves" " Whispering?" " Don't make sense" "That would mean schizophrenia, like we've seen in the others" " When do you hear these voices?" " Maybe not schizophrenic" " When you or..." " This is strange the doctor, or..." "Most of the rats died after they reacted to strange things other people aren't talking" "Patient 14 won't panic if she thinks she's clueless" "If you step into the booth, we'll run some tests" "I warned Kramer the psychosis result in rats would probably occur in human subjects" "Porter better back me up" "If I get called before Congress, the first finger I got to point is at him" "The voices just stopped" " Can you still hear me?" " Just like if you were standing right here" "One beep" "Four" "She's hearing frequencies ten times beyond the normal human range" " No return of those strange voices?" " No" " Can I come out?" " That's not a good idea for the moment" "At least in the booth you're all right" "You're feeling okay otherwise?" "No headaches or fever?" "No." "Nothing" "Quiet, don't open your mouth!" "I can think for myself." "Leave me in peace!" "There's a woman" "If I sent her a thought, would she answer me?" "Hello?" "My name is Emily." "I'm Patient number 13" "Did they give you the infusion?" "Have you been able to sleep?" "Liza?" "Yes, yes" "Come here." "Their infusion poisoned me" "The doctors locked me in here" "They say I talk to things that aren't there" "Make the nurses your guinea pigs!" " The sound's getting louder!" " Someone's coming" " Miss Raines?" " Open this!" " She is by 13's room" " Miss Raines" "Open m." " I was in the supply room" " Would you be my friend Liza?" " Come, let's go back to the booth, alright?" " Help me" " Come on, come on" " I just wanted water" " Let me get you water" " I..." "That woman" " Open!" "Open!" "Open!" " The doctors ordered... not to leave the booth." "Now, come on let's go" "Watch it, she might have a weapon under her robe, like Patient 9" " I don't have a weapon" " Help" "Why's that now?" "That girl is reading my mind" "Look." "Let's go on back to the booth, right?" "You'll be fine there" "What this treatment's done to these people 13 of 15 dead in two weeks" "5 stabbing themselves, 2 suffocated, 3 hanging in the bathroom" "Sound so loud they're screaming, they won't sleep" "I'll soon come with the water, alright?" "You know, the water there's so nasty" "I'll bring you some good stuff, alright?" "Patient 8 knocked out her guard" "Made her way to the interstate and was killed by an oncoming car" "Patient 10 somehow was able to electrocute himself" "Patient 13 is wandering the halls and..." "You got the tranquilizer?" " Liar!" "I can hear you!" " Emily!" "Now you're telling yourself something about Robby, your son" "Coming from your head!" "Oh No!" "Emily please don't" "Hsieh's son is named Robby" "That's what impressed you?" "There's no way she could have known his son's name" "She had no access to this private information" "She was a patient" "This exceeds even my expectations" "We have 12 dead by their own hands" "If this leaks out" "You said one was making progress Why the anomaly?" "Why her?" "I don't know." "These are the first human subjects" " There's no precedent for this" " Why her?" "Because she hears sounds normally" "Not frighteningly loud like the rest of them" " Why?" " What do you want me to tell you?" "Drugs work different on different people" "Luck?" "Show me this wild card" "Hello, Liza." "How are you feeling?" "I'd be better if you could answer some questions" "Well..." "Sure." "That's what I'm here for" "Most of the other patients are dead, aren't they?" " Shall I ask that question again?" " No" "These voices I'm suddenly hearing the second I step outside the booth" "Why this doorway acts as some kind of threshold" "I don't understand that yet" "These voices Dr., they are not imaginary" " Well how do you know that?" " I left the booth last night" "Because I was thirsty" "And I ran into another patient" "And the night nurse came and with both of them there" "I realized that the voices coming from their heads are... they sound like them when they talk" "There is a connection" "I think I need to be alone with the patient" "It's not like I'm reading minds, it's more hearing them like there's a live broadcast coming from their head all the time" "You know that actually just doesn't sound plausible" "What is she doing?" "She's staring right at my forehead" "She appears to be testing me." "She's testing me" " You're thinking "she's testing me"" " Is she getting impressions?" " She couldn't be reading me word for word" " Yes, I'm reading you word for word" " She's psychic" " I am not psychic." "Dr. we can keep this up!" "Unless she's hearing the brain's electromagnetic activity" " I'm not the scientist." "You are" " She's tracking my thoughts" "If we publish this finding, it could save my career" "That's what's important to you?" " She's hearing everything!" " Your reputation?" "Dr. I put my trust in you when I signed those forms" "What you're saying doesn't make any sense" "The other patients are dead, aren't they?" "How does she know that?" "The staff signed confidentiality" "I don't care what they signed." "I heard them thinking" " This is unbelievable." "This can't be real" " I heard you!" "I heard doctor Hsieh !" "You don't want me too anxious because it could trigger some chemical reaction that would make me crazy like the other patients or like..." "If she heard that, God knows what else she's intercepted" " The rats!" " Shit!" "The rats!" "When could she have found out?" "Yesterday I heard you thinking" "When I interviewed her, I bet she asked about the rats" "You saw all this happen with the rats" "I'm going to have legal troubles over this for years" "You lied to me" "Doctor Hsieh even warned you" "I'm going to ask you to please get back into the booth" "I'd better start her on the booster pills before she contacts anyone" " What booster pills?" " The freakish side effects" "I'm going to ask you to please get back into the booth!" "How come the infusion has led us to this nightmare?" "Could it be that the other patients heard about this too?" "They also knew things they shouldn't have?" "The booster pills..." "The booster pills they're..." "They are to make sure that there's no rejection of the cell line" "You're gonna have to take them for 6 months or so" " They weren't listed in the contract" " Yes but the side effects were" "Side effects?" "13 of 15 people are dead" "Look." "What you have experienced is nothing like what they have experienced" " Now that is significant" " Then, can you explain to me?" "How it is that I am hearing people's thoughts?" "It's an electromagnetic signal" "I don't know." "Somehow your inner ear has become a receptor" "I just don't know" "If that's the way it's going to be, I have put in my 2 weeks" "I'm going home to the shelter" "No, look, we have to monitor you" "We have tests to run" "Is this condition permanent?" "I don't know" "Crack and horns have messed up your life..." "I wonder If I was in a deserted island with everybody from work, who would I sleep with first?" "Got to stop thinking about what I'll do after I'm dead" "You dump money in the Lakers, you dump money in the Nicks" "You're going to get yourself in serious..." "I don't understand why was the booth blocking the mind waves?" "Look, these mind waves, as you like to refer to them can go through wood, glass, concrete, but not metal" " And the connection being?" " The audio booth is framed in metal" "I'm reclassifying this study to limited access" "There were no survivors" "I'll supply the documents for the cover stony" "That means Liza died too" "You can't do that." "Liza's invaluable to us" "You want to be a success as much as I do, don't you?" "Follow my lead, doctor" "In your field or mine, politics isn't about what people know" "It's about what they think they know" "If the trustee's expecting me to put in more hours and take a pay cut" "They can hire someone really incompetent" "That guy on the board showing up with his mistress yesterday" "Maybe I should tell his wife" "I've seen her check me out" "No, don't put your hand down her cleavage" " Oh, shit!" "Liza." "The treatment" " Hi" "Well, hello" "She's talking to me like she hears me" "She got released." "Why didn't she call?" "I should have called to let you know that I was released" "It's like she was never deaf" "This is amazing!" "You actually hear normally?" "I could live forever in those eyes" "Woa-woa, penis boy, down to half mast" "Get your mind off sex" "You cross the line with a resident, you get your ass fired" " Side effects?" " No" " That sounds too good to be true" " It sounds too good to be true, but..." "That's weird." "I was just thinking that" "I wonder what I sound like to her" "I figured that you would have a deep voice" "You're kidding?" "That's sexy" "Stop it." "It's not going to happen" "Well, it's a good thing you didn't listen to me" "It's a miracle that treatment worked" "Oh, a call" "Transitions, Cost reports Damn, where'd I put them?" "Yeah, they just came in" "Worthless as they are" "Oh, Liza..." "I have to put her in bed" "Yeah..." "She seems to know what I'm talking about" "It's the same dorm room." "I didn't move her stuff" "A new lab is being set up to your specifications" "Here's the cover file" "Don't ask for the original back" "So, how much metal?" "2 pieces of metal about the size of quarters" "Placed near the temple lobe" "That should cut out the reception" "Hearing range?" "She should be able to hear mind voices within, maybe, 30 feet" "About Dr. Hsieh, I secured a position for him in Los Alamos" "He left with his family this morning" "This project's your brainchild anyway" "But I go in front of the I.R.B. board tomorrow" "Should they be concerned?" "This is Patient number 14, the last one who died?" "Yes" " Good God!" " 12 years I've known you" "I say, sure, come here for the trials" "Sounds like the breakthrough you've been talking about" "Years in the making" "Now I see you broke protocol" " Didn't wait for F.D.A. approval" " The F.D.A. doesn't need approval" " Doctor, it was improper!" " These events were highly likely" " We didn't expect these adverse results" " You didn't expect these results" " This institute is liable for your actions" " You've handed us a publicity nightmare" "Where's Hsieh?" "He's, he's on a retreat" "Get him out of his retreat by the time our attorneys contact you" "Right" "It's getting near to bed and I'm going to get that stack of intakes done if it kills me" "Now this chump comes waltzing in" "For once I'd like to get through something without being pulled away by something stupid" " Can I help you, sir?" " I'm here to see Miss Raines, about a job" "There was a sign outside about visitors signing in" "I must have missed it when I came in." "My apologies" "He's hiding something" "I'm Liza's case worker, Grant Kane" "I see" "Scientific Projects Liaison Division?" " Department Of Defense?" " That's correct" "I understand the circumstances that brought her here were less than pleasant" "What's he digging for?" "That information is confidential" "Did Doctor Kramer tell you where to find me?" "As a matter of fact, he did" "The Department of Defense coming here?" "It's nice to see you again Liza" "The way he's looking at her, I wonder if this is really business" "If I'm not going to cross the line with her, he sure isn't" "You two must want to talk" "He must have found her through the clinic where she did the treatment" "We have a conference room" "It's your job to facilitate" "If anything is weird, I'm sure I'll hear about it later" "Now let's see, it'll be great to finish off those intern files" "Doctor Kramer reports no worrisome changes in your condition since you left last week" "He's working on new cell lines..." "improved cell lines" "And he discovered why the sound booth acted as a barrier" "For the same reason you can't hear me" "Consider these earrings and honor us to help you cope with your ability" "Made of an experimental alloy created in another government project I supervise" "This alloy was in the booth's framing" "I had a different set custom-made for me" "So you and I can converse like in normal life" "Here we go" "Is she's intercepting, has to be hearing my..." "Can you hear me now?" "Can you hear me now?" "Better than most cell phone reception, I'll bet" "Without a control like this, your day life might continue to be overwhelming" "We'll only know if the earrings work, Liza if you try them all the way" "Doctor Kramer insisted" "They block the signal" "Trust us" "I wonder how she's copped with this thing since she left the clinic" "She doesn't look stressed" "That shows fortitude, a quality you always find in a good asset" "It works" "Good" "Again, come on" "Assets have got to be open to taking risks" "Good girl" "Yes." "I can't believe it." "Incredible" "Reactions at C.l.A., the Pentagon" "I have to pitch this right away, to protect us" "You came here about a job?" "Could we agree that what is said in this room remains confidential?" "My office's mandate is to identify scientific projects which may have national security applications" "Government officials often face situations where innocent people are at risk" "Information that only you might gather could save lives or break unsolved cases or protect this country against those who wish to harm it" " You're talking about being some sort of..." " Public servant" "Oh!" "I offer merely an opportunity" "Your health comes first" "Don't forget, plenty of water" " How did it go?" " It's better than looking at the classifieds" " Those a job enticement?" " Maybe" "His office funds medical research and they'll help me find a place to live" "I think you'd be thrilled" "I will expect to hear from you" "Duty calls" "Your upcoming trials may produce more of these, so called, mind hearers" "That is the goal, sir" "Though Miss Raines could be ready for a few works in 6 weeks" "This woman is an ordinary civilian!" "With no intelligence training whatsoever" "The success of this mission depends entirely upon her" "I'd appreciate your trust, General" "I did nurture this project" "How do you know she can handle the pressure of undercover work?" "She's bright" "She figured out her own mess" "If I had been part of your little recruitment session" "I had told this woman straight up" "The U.S. Government gave you back your hearing along with this unique ability" "You owe us and you're going to repay that debt" "Look." "When I was overseas, the soft sell always worked better when recruiting assets" "Mr. Porter, I can give a rat's ass about your C.l.A. protocols" "As long as you work for me, you're going to do things my way" "First you get her trained" "And when you make your pitch to the Pentagon next month" "I want your presentation to be informative, provocative and fraught with promise" "You sell it!" "Otherwise I'll never get the additional funding I need to complete this operation" "It's your house to do as you wish" "Please" "I could even arrange for you to purchase it" "Should you decide to remain in government service" "I've provided some things to give you a head start" "I trust I wasn't acting out of turn" "Termites" "This house has termites" "That'll be taken care of" "Please!"

"Now you fill in the missing pieces of the puzzle" "I call my friend the Federal Prosecutor" "And you get less time on a lesser charge" "So, what's it going to be, Ronny?" "Tell me, sefior, where did your people grease their way across the border?" "You got to my case because you're lonely and I know we've got forbidden love" "This pinche maricon thinks that I'm in love with him" "The only men I love is my father, my brothers and my son" "Come on with the love and I lead you to all those dead girls" "Wasn't each one a little adventure?" "Probably wore gloves at the killing scenes" "Where are those bodies?" "The little bodies are all in the same place." "A lover's bouquet" "Careful, she's listening" " I did it so..." " I wonder if she's real" " Not fake like these other psychics" " You'd pay attention to me" "You and me, my little brown monkey" "That's what her boss said, word for word" "Behind uncle Nathan's cabin, facing lovely 0'Neil's Pond" "An orchid's over the remains of each one of those little darlings" "If we were somewhere else, I'd break his pinche neck" "I hope we were helpful" "Yeah, you were" "I've been in this case for 2 years" "Dead end after dead end" "Terrific, If you need our services again, you know my number" "Thank you" " Did you get what you needed?"

" Jason" " And if he panics?" " Our team will be right in there" "Are you going to step up to the plate here or what?" " Please..." "Please" " I'm under a lot of pressure right now" " I got..." " Chief of Police." "Please, excuse us!" "Here's your chance to make a difference" "Someone with a gun changed your life over a year ago" "Why don't you let me know beforehand the next time you decide to put my life on the line?" "What's it going to be?" "I know he's going to kill us just to get even" "When I saw that book about making explosives in his knapsack" "I knew I should have told someone" "They diss me." "I'll pick them off like Mr. Kirby" "Two bullets and that jerk was gone" "Wasn't that good?" "The voices come and go in his head" "I knew when I saw him in class" "I'm going to be more famous than those Columbine kids" "I'll be on TV., you name it" "I You re a C0D, aren't you?" "!" "I told them not to send in a cop!" " Jason" " You should try something else" "I work with the district school board" "Chill out!" "I'm starting to hear voices again!" "Why couldn't they tell the cops how to spell my name right?" "She'll see." "I can read fine." "I'm not dyslexic." "Stupid cops" "It's not Layson." "It's Jason" "They think I don't know how to read." "I know how to read!" "Someone's going to treat me right or I don't know... more people will die" "Chill out" " You're gonna be cool?" " Yes" "Good." "She seems alright" "The cops out there are wound up tight, you know" " You know" " Like rubber stretched to the friggin' max !" "Split the joke in the eye." "I told them no talking" "Don't fuck with me!" " Keep your mouth shut" " Don't you know it's enough, Jason?" "Don't act scared..." "Jason, safe now?" "Don't chicken out" "You're going to be bigger than those Columbine Kids, I know it" "Voice, stop calling me now." "I'm under too much pressure" " So what, you're sick" " Jason, stop" "Would you like to eat something?" " You pick me something" " Jason!" "No!" " Not now!" " 0k" "You have to blow this place" "But you have to kill those voices and the lights" "He)' hey..." "Shut up!" "All you do is diss me, like my dad" "What are you talking about?" "You done good" "Wiring those bombs in the rafters in the science building and under the boys' locker room?" "They'll never find them there" "Yeah, I guess." "She's being so cool" "What's your name?" " Liza" " Now she's pretty" "I wish that there were teachers like her" " Things are kind of tensed, huh?" " Why did I have to do this on my own?" "I wish they'd bring mom" "She might make this easier" "Would you like it if I have them bring your mom in?" "No!" "She wouldn't... she wouldn't come" "I can get your morn to come" "No, she won't." "She's lying." "She's a cop" "You missed it" "You've been a screw up ever since kindergarten" "They're going to keep you back a grade again" "I don't want to hurt anyone." "I didn't!" " You really didn't" " I believe you" "Does she really?" "She's so nice" " She's lying" " Shut up!" "Shut the fuck up!" "Goddamn these voices in my fuckin' head!" "They want me to stop?" "They want me to stop?" "I can stop." "I can stop." "You understand?" "I can!" "I'm going to get your mom" "No, don't leave me alone right now" "I won't" "Maybe if you tell them I only deal with her maybe she can come back" "She'll come back, won't she?" "I'll be right back" "What did she say?" "Goddamn, these voices!" "Turn on some music" "Sometimes that keeps them away" "Someone's up to something" "Damn lights are getting brighter." "They're killing my eyes" "Of course they are" "Those bad voices are hiding in them" "Shoot out the lights or the cops will shoot you... there" " Oh, my God!" " I just want to go home" "Don't!" "He's shooting at the lights!" "..." "The bombs they found were set to go off in an hour." "You've saved lives" "Not his!" " That kid would have been" " Could have been saved!" " You're not a psychologist" " I was making a connection to him" " He might've turned on you at any moment" " No!" " How do you know that?" " You were not there" "You were not in there." "How dare you talk to me like you were in there?" "!" "He was complicated, this is true but I got to him, I was getting to him" "You think everything evolves around you?" "Oh great!" "You sound like you're talking about yourself" "Things in life were conspiring against this boy" " That was not your problem" " I will decide what my problems are" "You want to be effective in this work?" "You put a cap on your feelings" "The word about you is spreading" " Our options are expanding" " The hell with your options" "Somebody has to be out there gathering intel" "It's our best short circuit against disaster" "Screw your intelligence" "You're upset." "You go home and we start fresh tomorrow" "You do not own me!" "This technology represents a quantum leap in espionage" "It gives us a leg up on the Chinese, the North Koreans" "Hell even those Al Quaeda sons of bitches!" "Yes, sir, I realize the Secretary of Defense is a busy man" "If you could just fit us into his schedule" "Yes, sir, I can hold" "You asked for an update on Doctor Hsieh" "Thursday after next?" "That's terrific, sir" "Thank you, sir" "By the way, while you were on the line, the Security Office called" "Mr. Porter ordered surveillance on Miss Raines" "The time stamp" "It's 9:34 a.m., July 12" "Los Alamos, New Mexico, National Lab number 6" "Why are we taping this?" "Porter said if he gets grilled" "He wants to say he saw it with his own eyes" "Can I help you gentlemen?" "Yes doctor, Mr. Porter sent us for the protocol detail" "He wanted this filmed?" "Yes, he wanted a visual record of the work you're doing here" "ls the cleaning crew coming?" "How did we come by this?" "I conducted a sweep of Mr. Porter's private files at S.P.L.D." "Goddamned, irresponsible, free-wheeling son of a bitch!" "That's the reason C.l.A. don't use irresponsible asshole nuts" "The man has no regard for chain of command" "I can make regular sweeps in occurrence, sir" "Do that" "I want his computer monitored" "I want his files duplicated, and, most importantly" "I want samples of every new cell line that comes out of that lab" "This material is way loo valuable to be entrusted solely to one man" " Got one" " Grant!" "Bet I know what she's really hiding wearing these things" "After that treatment there's a new G spot" "Besides there she erupts like a volcano" "This is great!" "My God, this is hot as molten lava" "Like I'm back at high school, the endless boner" "What's so funny?" "What?" "Please, give that back to me" "Time I showed her why the sisters be calling me Mr. White Chocolate" "I really like her mamma muchkies not loo big, not loo small" "Oh man, I'd like to get some head right now" "I wonder if she'll give it up without me having to drop the hint" "And she'll find out how good lam at giving back the breakfast of champions" "What is it?" "God, she turns me on" "She's great" "It's so much better with a woman you care about" "Those earrings do look sexy on her" "If anyone pulls anything with Liza and they think they don't have to worry about me" "Won't they be surprised?" "Like that jerk I put in the hospital a few years back when he pinched my girlfriend" "I still have that creepy feeling that Liza's psychic and afraid to tell me" "She's more than on my wave length" "But sometimes she reads my thoughts like telex" "There's something about her work for the government that just doesn't add up" "Internal Ops, this is Captain Moran, aide to General Johnston Humes" "Pentagon, extension 8929" "The General requests that you send an 8.0. to the S.P.L.D. lab" "An appropriate scientific technology" "The vials are marked cell line two, three" "And the most important, cell line four" "This directive is not to be shared with the Director of S.P.L.D., Aiden Porter" "I still think that bombing 2 terminals at the airport's too much" "How many people are you going to kill to make your point?" "Everything's going to be fine" "Our crew will be here in a minute" "All you got to do is give them access and get them approve this baggage handlers and then you can leave this goddamned country!" "What the hell's has it ever done for you?" "You're saying she can't be trusted" "I'm saying the sooner we improve the infusion and create another asset" "Which may take forever" "Miss Raines is playing the game now, but for how long?" "The way she threatened you after the shooting at that high school clearly her respect for authority is limited" "We can't base this program on someone like that" "This lethal version you were telling me about the one that affects the brain and the nervous system simultaneously?" "Cell line four, we are close on that" "Yeah, but, the one to create more mind hearers, that's the good one" "In the meantime" "This talented asset of yours, Miss Raines" " I have her under control" " You better" "This is not some sleepy third-world C.l.A. station you're running here" "A drug like this could transform the very nature of intelligence gathering" " F.B.l. get down" " For that reason I am taking this to the highest levels in Pentagon and to the White House" "Your findings here better be rock solid" "If it was up to me, I'd have these seditious motherfuckers shot" "Come in" "I've told you about General Johnston Humes" " Yes, hello." "How do you do?" " What do you need, doctor?" "The beaker with the improved cell line is missing" " Did you check with your staff?" " Of course I checked with my staff" "Have you searched every inch of the lab?" "Yes." "And I tried to call doctor Hsieh in Los Alamos, and he's not listed" "A pharmaceutical company called him from overseas about an opening" "I said fine" "I should have told you." "Sony" "That'll be all, doctor" " You better keep an eye on that doctor" " Both eyes, sir" "Keep Miss Raines under tight surveillance too" "S343." "She's in" "What are you doing?" "Wow." "You keep looking that good, you can be a menace to public order" "You turned the wilted ﬂower into a rose" "Buy one, get one free" "See what living on a social worker's salary does to you?" "Where were you before when I needed a clever man?" "Oh!" "..." "You want to see clever?" "6 months." "That's a milestone for me" "These are lovely." "Thank you" "There's that look again" "Every time she touches her ears" "Always around those earrings like it's her scarlet letter" "I bet it's a side effect of that treatment" "Her ears over-sensitive to the touch, like when we made love" "Well, it's not like you tell her everything" "Don't call her on it, it'll spoil the moment" "Do they hurt or something?" "The earrings did something to her" "No" "Strange" "Are you alright?" "I mean that look on your face, Liza!" " Where'd you get these?" " Why?" "Do you know what they're made of?" "They told me silver." "What's the big deal?" "Don't you like them?" "Yes." "I think they're beautiful" "Your ears are sensitive, aren't they?" "Ever since you got back from the clinic" "Always putting on and taking off your earrings?" "Maybe they are a little sensitive but it's..." "It's nothing to be worried about" "Your job causes too much stress, Liza" "My job isn't what I thought it would be" "The violent reaction of the pa..." "The patients and their treatment" "The government officials that we deal with who treat me like a thing providing a service" "And we move from project to project so quickly that..." "I don't really get to know anyone" "For argument's sake, just for argument's sake" "Let's say there was something out there more rewarding" " Does this kid have a name?" " Jason" "I can stop, you understand?" "I can!" "I didn't want to hurt anyone!" "Teaching" "I live with a man who makes a difference every day he goes to work" "And I'd like to say the same about my job" "I'm getting the feeling you're avoiding me, Mr. Porter" "I need to talk to you about the trials you've been conducting with military personnel" "My question is where are the bodies being stored?" "I understand you found a place within your facility at S.P.L.D." "I want nothing done with those bodies until after we have generated the necessary paperwork, is that clear?" "And, by the way the Secretary of Defense has no need to know anything about this" "Certainly not prior to the upcoming meeting" "I got your message, General" "It's been handled" "Good." "Now, about this sudden issue with Kramer" "I just want you to talk to him understand?" "Understood, sir" "You're finished for the day" "No." "She's working on an important bacterial strain" "It'll be a greater strain if she stays" "Thank you" "Your job, like mine, is about significant data, right?" "Right" "I have proof that you've made phone calls to a news correspondent named Art Harris" "Look I'm telling you." "I didn't say anything at all." "Really" " I didn't say anything at all" " Not according to the wiretap" "And I quote:" "This medical research is to give the US Government an edge in the intelligence end game" "Gentlemen!" "No, you misunderstood" "I'm no... no, no." "No!" "Come on now!" "Hey!" "Don't kill him, gentlemen." "I need him alive" "Honey, I'll be out in a moment" "What do you say we go out to eat tonight?" " Lab D-113" " Doctor Kramer, please?" "He's not in" "I've been trying to get in touch with him for 2 days" "Yes but he's been reassigned" "He's what?" "!" "He's been reassigned." "With whom am I speaking please?" "He's gone?" "Do you have a security clearance number, please?" " Hello?" " Your timing couldn't be worse, Mr. Porter" "An hour ago the doctor escaped from the lab with a weapon" "And God knows what else he took" " It's impossible, sir" " You want details?" "Call security!" " But sir..." " Goddammit, this never would've happened if you've had simply spoken to Kramer as I told you to" "Sir, I took the necessary precautions" "You handle it." "I'm on my way for our meeting with the Secretary of Defense" "Track him" "What can I do for you Liza?" "I need more pills." "It's affecting me" "I tried the lab again" "Why was Dr. Kramer replaced?" "We had hoped to present the President with results as ground-breaking as the original trial but the recent cell lines had extremely negative effects" "Every one of the subjects manifested behavior even more violent than the subjects in the original trials" "Psychosis within a day" "Death after three" "Why wasn't I in on this cockamamie scheme from its inception?" "Sir, we were waiting until we'd developed something more concrete before bringing it to your attention" "You were sneaking around the Goddamn Executive Branch with something that could be another Watergate" "Mr. Secretary, with all due respect there was no intent on our part to attempt at deception" "This project is developing biological weapons, people" "A more exact term would be biochemical" "You know, by the end of this fucking administration" "I'm going to be bald from dealing with hair-splitting pricks like you" "You people think you're running some kind of fascist dictatorship" "This country signed a treaty prohibiting us from ever producing biological weapons" "You want to call them biochemical?" "Mr. Secretary, we are working on improving the cell lines" "In order to provide a higher yield of mind-hearers" "Exclusively, now, using volunteers drawn from the military" "This medical technology could, as an added benefit be used to treat troops who have hearing impairments due to... combat or to training exercises" "We have every intention of sharing this technology with the appropriate firms within the civilian sector" "But, there is no plan to use this technology as a military weapon" " Sir, the original proposal - is to expand the present budget to 4 times" "Should the latest stages results prove significant" "At that time, Mr. Secretary, I will brief the President" "Do you think the President hired me to be briefed by you?" "Yeah, it seemed alright" "We'll send a clean up crew to back you up" " Has he got company?" " Looks like he's alone" " Got it covered for now?" " Yes" "Dr. Kramer?" "I can't understand you!" " His people are after me" " His tongue's cut out!" "Help me" " The sound is so loud!" " You're safe here." "It's going to be okay" "This is what my patients heard?" "The sounds..." "Liza, they put me under guard" " His men cut off my..." " Who?" "Who?" "Aiden gave you the infusion?" "They killed Hsieh." "I know they killed him." "I was next" "I knocked out my guard" "I got the files here." "Look" "Take the gun to protect yourself" "He made me tell the I.R.B. you died" "He changed the name in your file" "The girl in the tub, they said it was you, but, who is she?" "I should have said no to it all" "Porter was pushing the science too far" "Created more cell lines that no one has survived" "Tell the press." "This must stop" "Cell line four attacks the mind and body!" "It eats the brain" "A nightmare of sound before it kills you" "It's in my lab!" " Liza?" " Who's that?" "One of Aiden's thugs?" "Who's this guy?" "Blood on him?" " His tongue's cut out?" "What's going on?" " Oh my God" "What the hell is this?" "Dennis Kramer" "What the hell is this?" "Liza, tell me what's going on?" "She better come clean" "Tell me what, what is it?" " A call." "Who could this be?" " Hello?" " Her boss?" " I just pulled up in front of your home" "What do you want?" "You are to tell your social worker friend nothing" "This is a sensitive situation" "Come out, we'll talk." "I'll fill you in" "Liza?" " What?" " I got to go" " Wait." "Where are you going?" " I can't" " Just stay here..." "Just stay here" " Liza?" " I'm asking you to please just stay here!" " Stay here?" "I'm going to take care of this" " This is unreal" " Alone if she's in trouble, I'll be damned if I lake a back seal" "Last week, a troubled patient in the second trial stabbed Dr. Kramer with the infusion" "Kramer attacked the guards and escaped" "That sounds about as true as the stony you told me about the earrings" "They're made of metal" "You lied to me" "A pair of silver earrings from my boyfriend works just" "These little tablets are vital" "How do you think Dr. Kramer got them?" "There are plenty of reporters that I can go to" "Any information about the clinical trials is classified" "Do you know what that means?" "Think twice before you compromise yourself or him" "We have a packed schedule this week" "What's going on?" "The Doc?" "And suddenly your boss shows up at home?" "What are you talking about?" " Talk to me!" " Get out!" "Liza!" " This is for your own safety" " For my own safety?" "Don't do this" " There is a part of the federal government" " Oh." "We're on a TV show now" "The part of the government that answers to no one" "I am right here, Liza" "Hello." "How are you?" "Maybe you see something you like?" "Maybe you like these?" "Fine quality" " What are these made of?" " Oh they're plastic." "Yes." "Very good" " Plastic?" " Yes." "You get 2 pairs 12 dollars" "She's buying some jewelry near the subway entrance" "Good" "Yes" " You like?" " Okay" "She's all yours" "Dead things keep breaking." "Shit!" "Big government's willing at least to lake my calls now because I've become important" "I have something they want and if they want it" "The new kid on the block gets invited into the power club" "But take care of yourself first" "Put Liza on their Wall Street insider" "Inject my Swiss account with another sweet chunk" "I'll be damned if I retire on a piddly government pension" "Following the rules set by others always takes forever" "Power isn't given, it's seized" "And with this project I've come of age it looks like I might have replacement for this coming group" "I can finally get rid of Liza" "Wearing her earrings." "Good, good girl" "Her threat to go to the press was the last straw" "Our client has one simple question" "Would you put him... on our Supreme Court?" "Who's the client?" "A pity she turned" "She's probably not bad in bed, as long as she's got those earrings on" "She's being good today" "I wonder why" "Got to stop this judge" "I could turn the Supreme Court into a pool of Liberals" "This country isn't what it used to be" "Humes will try and cut you out of this project, you know that" "Where that slime bastard gets off treating me like his third string bitch" "I'll have him saluting me when I slap him with his hush-hush green personnel file hiding in that silver box in my office" "Yeah, it's safe there" "My trump card" "Hey, sweetie" "How do you feel about eating out tonight?" "How do you feel about telling the truth?" "I'm a woman living in a big city and..." "Some nights I walk home from the subway" "You didn't need a gun when I found you" "Living in the back of a car" "I feel like I'm the one with a hearing aid" "Half in, half out, isn't that how you described it?" "Take yourself out of the equation" "Is that what you want?" "I just want for things to be normal" "Normal?" "You know how long normal lasts, Liza?" "About that long" "Haven't you learned that yet?" "Finally I have something..." "You" "You lost everything, now you have something" "Or am I the only one that feels this way?" "I need that gun for now" "Please don't ask me why." "I have my reasons" "You need this too?" "I found it while repairing the fence in the back" "It's a sound bug" "Are you going to come clean with me Liza?" "Just give me some time" "I'm working on a way out" " Of what?" " I can't tell you" "Lose cannon or not?" "Getting rid of Miss Raines is out of the question" " But sir..." " Sir my ass" "You terminate the single mind hearer, this program has produced?" "We have no replacement!" "After all the money we have spent, not to mention 41 deaths" "Shit!" "My career will be in the toilet" "And yours, Mr. Porter, is circling the drain" " General, we have a replacement" " You what?" "Since when?" "I wanted to make sure her condition was stable before informing you" "She was a satellite specialist with the air force" "Well then..." "However you decide to handle Miss Raines" "For God's sake, be professional and be discrete" "Operations like this were routine at C.l.A., sir" "Somehow that does not reassure me, Mr. Porter" "Your handling of Dr. Kramer was the classic example of FUBAR" "You know what that means?" "Yes, sir." "I do" "We cannot afford another such misstep" "The Secretary of Defense is about to brief the President" "Pretty trippy about the Supreme Court Judge nominee, don't you think?" " I didn't read the paper today?" " It was on TV at the shelter" "Cops found kiddie porn in his office" "Hours later his wife found him hanging in the garage" "The press was calling him a shoe-in too" "Too bad you're not here" " Hello" " Liza, a job just came up" "If it wasn't an important assignment" "I wouldn't interrupt your evening at home" "I'm at the new lab now" "Meet me here I'll give you a new supply of booster pills" "Then we head up to the new assignment" " Should I send the car?" " No." "I'll get there on my own" "He's interviewing a new scientist and he wants me to take notes" "I should be back before midnight" "That must be her in the elevator" "What he's planning is wrong, to kill you, Liza" "Isn't that your name?" "I'm your replacement" "Aiden?" "But if he kills you, he might kill me, couldn't he?" "I don't care about the documents Mr. Porter made me sign" "I will disobey a bad order" "He'll try cell line four on the next group" "It's in the lab now, remember him thinking about it?" "It kills people instantly" "To use against enemies in times of war" "Driving them mad with sound, it's inhuman" "He's near." "I hear his blood ﬂow" "I won't let him kill you" "I'm stuck in this now" "Aiden?" "He's right here!" "I need to keep you safe!" "There he is" " Now" " Me being a threat to you" " It's all in your mind" " Wouldn't you like to go there?" " Who's that?" "A friend of yours?" " No." "No" "The voice is..." "It's out of range" "You hear anything?" "Show me" "Which one is it?" "I'm going to try and smash his head against the wall" "Got the safety on the gun" "Have to ﬂick it off!" "Liza , there!" "Out of here!" "Why is she stopping me?" "Neutralize her" "There she is!" "Get her under the glass" "Feisty moves." "Right there" "Cut off her mind" "Kill" "Kill the bastard" "Down!" "Die, you, then her!" "You think you can outsmart a trained officer?" "Never!" "God, she stuck me with syringes stuffed, not with cell line 4" "No, it can't be Cell Line 4" "What it did to the others" "It's surging through my head." "Stop!" "I'm going to kill you too" "I'm going to control this" "I'm going to kill you" "Stop!" "It's ripping through my head, crackling" "Oh, man!" "The electricity's zapping my heart!" "My heart!" "Not there!" "Not the cells" "Oh, my God!" "Everything's getting so loud" "My heart!" "Oh, my eyes." "Don't go dark!" "This cell line was meant to be a weapon against our enemies, not against one of us" "Serves him right, that son of a bitch, whoever he really is" "If she does, if she doesn't tell me what she's involved in our relationship is over" "I don't, I don't care what her excuses are" "The government's mixed up in some kind of scientific" "We didn't create this mess and we don't have to explain it." "We're leaving" "We can't leave the scene of a crime!" "Listen to me." "I figured out a way" "I can get us out of this" "She's smarter than I figured" "Survived Porter, now she's getting dirty on me" "We would have shut this up" "But they sold it down in Saigon to army intelligence" "Jesus, all the deserted drug traffic and chicken shit" "Hey, the bottom line is you executed Americans and here it is on film" "This is a one-way ticket to Leavenworth" "I just want to step away from all of this and be free to live my own life" "Free?" "People in this countw owe their freedom to men like me" "If she shows up here to blackmail" "That look like the original, but..." "She might have made copies just to keep me in check" "Still, the cell line the new team is working on might mean I'm going to have another mind hearer soon" "If not, there's always a way to find out" " Do we understand each other?" " Let her have her freedom by now" "Benedict Arnold, the subject of the essay on the test pretended to be a patriot" "But really he was a spy" "Now Paul Revere, we consider to be a patriot living in a city occupied by his enemies" "Imagine walking around pretending to be everyone's friend" "Wouldn't we consider that deception?" "I knew I blew it" " So the connection here's that both men" " I studied the wrong chapter made others believe" "They were one person, when secretly inside" "Did he see me when I dropped my tampon?" "Oh my God!" "They were somebody else saying one thing, thinking another" "The question on the test was when is deception justified?" "This one's easy." "God, she asks the stupidest questions!" "A moron could get an A in this class" "Paul Revere was right because he was on the right side" "Yes, but, who's to say who's right and who's wrong?" " What's she talking about?" " The answer was in Chapter 5" " Just get me the book, I can..." " Some of you read chapter 5 Monday night" "While others were, I don't know, surfing the internet" "No way." "I couldn't have done this bad" "Do you think your parents would approve of on-line dating?" "How the hell does she know?" "It's weird" "She always knows what you were doing, if you blew up the work for this class" "Don't think about sex." "She'll know" " Who cares about history anyway" " It was in the textbook on page 71" "Deception is justified when it's meant to shield others or oneself from harm" "If Dad hits me tonight I'm not taking it" "I'll frigging break into his gun cabinet" "Get his 45 and shoot to kill" "Mom's out of it even when she's sober" "Miss Raines is staring right at me again" "I don't get what she sees in me" "I'm not that special, I'm not that smart either" "I did better than I thought" "If Dad sees this he'll kick my ass" "You think you're smarter than me?" "Wish there were beds here, so I don't have to go home" "Chapter 6 tomorrow." "Please, read it" " Why does she want me to wait?" " You keep it up, Mr. Mister" "I'm going to have to recommend you to the Honors Program" "She's just saying that" "It's cool if you don't" " Did you think about my other proposition?" " Counseling is for losers" "I don't see how talking about is going to solve anything" "It's not going to make Dad ease up" "Here she is, talking to that kid again" " Hello, Mrs. Kane" " Hi, sweetie, I've told you about Damian" " So you are the culprit, huh?" " What's that supposed to mean?" "Anything Damian says to his counselor is confidential, right?" "Whatever we talk about stays in the room" "I've seen him around the halls" "I can't even tell a judge" " Mr. Angry in black" " I don't know" "Look, I've got time tomorrow around four." "Interested?"
