1
00:00:39,373 --> 00:00:42,667
There is nothing wrong
with your television set.

2
00:00:42,668 --> 00:00:45,129
Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

3
00:00:45,212 --> 00:00:48,299
We are controlling
transmission.

4
00:00:48,382 --> 00:00:50,301
We will control
the horizontal.

5
00:00:50,384 --> 00:00:53,095
We will control
the vertical.

6
00:00:53,137 --> 00:00:55,806
We can change the focus
to a soft blur

7
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:57,933
or sharpen it
to crystal clarity.

8
00:00:57,975 --> 00:00:59,894
For the next hour,
sit quietly,

9
00:00:59,935 --> 00:01:02,646
and we will control
all that you see and hear.

10
00:01:02,688 --> 00:01:05,775
You are about to participate
in a great adventure.

11
00:01:05,816 --> 00:01:09,695
You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

12
00:01:09,779 --> 00:01:14,408
which reaches from
the inner mind to...

13
00:01:33,552 --> 00:01:36,722
In this room,
24 hours a day,

14
00:01:36,764 --> 00:01:38,432
7 days a week,

15
00:01:38,516 --> 00:01:40,935
security personnel
at the defense department's

16
00:01:41,018 --> 00:01:42,520
Cypress Hills
research center

17
00:01:42,561 --> 00:01:45,147
keep constant watch
on its scientists

18
00:01:45,231 --> 00:01:46,690
through O.B.I.T.,

19
00:01:46,774 --> 00:01:48,651
a mysterious
electronic device

20
00:01:48,692 --> 00:01:51,028
whose very existence
was carefully kept

21
00:01:51,112 --> 00:01:52,613
from the public at large.

22
00:01:52,696 --> 00:01:54,406
And so it would
have remained,

23
00:01:54,448 --> 00:01:57,118
but for the facts you
are about to witness.

24
00:01:58,994 --> 00:02:00,621
Tell me about Norton.

25
00:02:00,704 --> 00:02:02,456
If his father hadn't been
on the board of trustees,

26
00:02:02,540 --> 00:02:03,624
they would have
literally tossed him

27
00:02:03,666 --> 00:02:05,042
out of grad school.

28
00:02:05,084 --> 00:02:08,087
Now he's the head of
my bio-chemical project.

29
00:02:08,212 --> 00:02:10,005
He doesn't know
the difference between

30
00:02:10,047 --> 00:02:12,383
a periodic table
and a timetable.

31
00:02:17,513 --> 00:02:19,682
Code I3b4d.

32
00:02:19,723 --> 00:02:22,226
Dr. Anderson.

33
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:24,645
Derogatory remarks
against superior.

34
00:02:24,728 --> 00:02:26,772
12th occurrence.

35
00:03:00,097 --> 00:03:02,349
Sight of image on screen.

36
00:03:02,433 --> 00:03:04,268
Checking resolution,
circuitry,

37
00:03:04,351 --> 00:03:05,603
and video self-control.

38
00:04:34,566 --> 00:04:36,193
Senator Orville,
Mr. Lomax.

39
00:04:36,277 --> 00:04:37,736
Nice meeting you,
Mr. Lomax.

40
00:04:37,778 --> 00:04:39,029
An honor, Senator.

41
00:04:39,113 --> 00:04:40,364
Are the witnesses
all assembled?

42
00:04:40,406 --> 00:04:41,282
Yes, sir.

43
00:04:42,574 --> 00:04:44,243
I don't
quite understand

44
00:04:44,285 --> 00:04:46,120
the purpose of
this investigation.

45
00:04:46,203 --> 00:04:47,705
Well, a murder
has been committed.

46
00:04:47,788 --> 00:04:49,456
Well, that's
a police matter.

47
00:04:49,540 --> 00:04:52,042
To drag the senate and
Washington down here?

48
00:04:52,126 --> 00:04:53,460
Take it easy,
Mr. Lomax.

49
00:04:53,502 --> 00:04:55,796
The Senator isn't here
to hurt your project.

50
00:04:55,838 --> 00:04:57,881
Oh, I understand
your concern, Mr. Lomax,

51
00:04:57,965 --> 00:04:59,883
but you must realize
that, well,

52
00:04:59,925 --> 00:05:01,844
since captain Harrison's
death, we have received

53
00:05:01,927 --> 00:05:03,470
all kinds of letters
concerning

54
00:05:03,554 --> 00:05:05,639
the morale situation
at this base.

55
00:05:05,681 --> 00:05:08,225
Now, Cypress Hills is
one of our top secret

56
00:05:08,267 --> 00:05:09,810
defense installations.

57
00:05:09,852 --> 00:05:11,812
Now, we know
that murders can occur

58
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:14,773
in soda fountains, uh,
paper box factories,

59
00:05:14,815 --> 00:05:16,233
even ladies tea rooms,

60
00:05:16,317 --> 00:05:18,152
as can
morale situations.

61
00:05:18,235 --> 00:05:21,196
But when a key center of
the defense department

62
00:05:21,238 --> 00:05:25,034
is spotlighted
in sordid headlines,

63
00:05:25,326 --> 00:05:27,578
well, the public is
justifiably concerned,

64
00:05:27,619 --> 00:05:30,372
and I intend to get
to the bottom of it.

65
00:05:30,414 --> 00:05:31,665
But I assure you,
Mr. Lomax,

66
00:05:31,749 --> 00:05:34,251
that I will conduct
my investigation

67
00:05:34,335 --> 00:05:36,378
as briefly and
as cleanly as possible,

68
00:05:36,420 --> 00:05:38,297
in the interest
of all concerned.

69
00:05:38,630 --> 00:05:40,382
Now, if you gentlemen
will excuse me,

70
00:05:41,091 --> 00:05:42,634
I believe we're delaying
the proceedings.

71
00:05:59,151 --> 00:06:01,362
Barbara, not now.

72
00:06:01,612 --> 00:06:03,405
They haven't called you
yet to testify.

73
00:06:03,489 --> 00:06:05,074
You may be spared
the embarrassment.

74
00:06:05,157 --> 00:06:06,575
But it's important
that I go in there...

75
00:06:06,658 --> 00:06:09,244
Witnesses will be
making insinuations

76
00:06:09,286 --> 00:06:10,871
about you
and your husband

77
00:06:10,954 --> 00:06:13,123
to hear him
publicly discredited.

78
00:06:13,207 --> 00:06:14,458
But that's why.

79
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:15,709
I feel I owe it
to cliff.

80
00:06:15,793 --> 00:06:17,335
No.

81
00:06:17,336 --> 00:06:19,630
You don't owe him
anything.

82
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:21,006
Not anymore.

83
00:06:21,090 --> 00:06:23,675
You owe me...

84
00:06:23,717 --> 00:06:26,345
A little self-concern.

85
00:06:28,430 --> 00:06:31,934
Just... just keep on
trusting me.

86
00:07:01,130 --> 00:07:02,381
Mr. Clyde Wyatt?

87
00:07:04,007 --> 00:07:06,260
Would you take
the stand, please?

88
00:07:18,939 --> 00:07:20,566
Mr. Wyatt, what is
your occupation?

89
00:07:20,607 --> 00:07:22,526
Investigator, C.I.D.

90
00:07:22,609 --> 00:07:23,861
And you conducted
the inquiry

91
00:07:23,944 --> 00:07:25,487
into captain James Harrison's
demise?

92
00:07:25,529 --> 00:07:26,613
Yes, sir.

93
00:07:26,655 --> 00:07:28,198
And the body was found
in this room?

94
00:07:28,282 --> 00:07:29,199
Yes.

95
00:07:29,283 --> 00:07:30,200
Where?

96
00:07:30,284 --> 00:07:32,119
Slumped over
that machine.

97
00:07:34,705 --> 00:07:35,956
What kind
of machine is it?

98
00:07:35,998 --> 00:07:37,374
It's, uh...

99
00:07:37,458 --> 00:07:39,084
It's a computer used

100
00:07:39,126 --> 00:07:40,836
to process
security data.

101
00:07:40,919 --> 00:07:43,422
And the victim was
operating it at the time?

102
00:07:43,505 --> 00:07:45,215
Yes, he was.

103
00:07:45,299 --> 00:07:46,717
Well, now,
you examined the body.

104
00:07:46,758 --> 00:07:47,926
What were your findings?

105
00:07:47,968 --> 00:07:50,053
Well, we know that
the cause of death

106
00:07:50,137 --> 00:07:51,638
was strangulation
committed

107
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,432
by an unusually
strong person.

108
00:07:53,557 --> 00:07:55,559
Unusually strong?

109
00:07:55,601 --> 00:07:57,227
The marks
at the throat, sir,

110
00:07:57,311 --> 00:07:59,228
the way the bone
was literally crushed

111
00:07:59,229 --> 00:08:00,355
at the base
of the skull,

112
00:08:00,397 --> 00:08:02,608
I never saw
anything like it.

113
00:08:02,691 --> 00:08:03,942
I see.

114
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:05,944
In your opinion,
Mr. Wyatt,

115
00:08:05,986 --> 00:08:07,863
would you say that
a blunt instrument

116
00:08:07,946 --> 00:08:08,864
could have been used?

117
00:08:08,947 --> 00:08:11,033
No. There were
no other bruises

118
00:08:11,074 --> 00:08:12,326
beyond finger marks.

119
00:08:14,077 --> 00:08:15,162
How long
have you been here

120
00:08:15,245 --> 00:08:16,872
in Cypress Hills,
Mr. Wyatt?

121
00:08:16,955 --> 00:08:18,373
About 5 days.

122
00:08:18,415 --> 00:08:20,834
Well, now, would you say
that the center

123
00:08:20,876 --> 00:08:23,670
was a reasonably contented,
peaceful place?

124
00:08:23,712 --> 00:08:25,923
I was investigating
a murder, sir,

125
00:08:26,006 --> 00:08:27,299
so that took
all my time.

126
00:08:27,382 --> 00:08:30,219
Well, now, that
wasn't very responsive.

127
00:08:30,260 --> 00:08:31,678
Well, I don't know

128
00:08:31,762 --> 00:08:33,096
what you want
to know.

129
00:08:35,265 --> 00:08:37,809
Well, let me
put it this way.

130
00:08:39,311 --> 00:08:42,189
You wouldn't say
that the morale

131
00:08:42,231 --> 00:08:43,899
at Cypress Hills
was any lower

132
00:08:43,941 --> 00:08:45,567
than any other installation

133
00:08:45,651 --> 00:08:47,152
with the same sort
of personnel?

134
00:08:47,236 --> 00:08:49,780
I'm not competent
to say so.

135
00:08:49,821 --> 00:08:52,741
I'm really not.

136
00:08:52,783 --> 00:08:54,826
Thank you, Mr. Wyatt.
You may go.

137
00:08:58,580 --> 00:09:01,333
A murder
at a defense installation

138
00:09:01,375 --> 00:09:03,085
such as Cypress Hills

139
00:09:03,126 --> 00:09:05,212
cannot be construed

140
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:06,505
as a random...

141
00:09:09,841 --> 00:09:13,220
If captain Harrison's murder
was an act

142
00:09:13,303 --> 00:09:15,472
of private passion

143
00:09:15,514 --> 00:09:21,436
or a crime
of personal revenge,

144
00:09:21,687 --> 00:09:25,232
then it becomes necessary
to understand exactly

145
00:09:25,315 --> 00:09:28,318
what relation that passion
or that revenge had

146
00:09:28,402 --> 00:09:30,946
to the psychological climate
of Cypress.

147
00:09:33,657 --> 00:09:36,034
Now the press has seen to it
that rumors

148
00:09:36,076 --> 00:09:40,289
of distinct and distressing
morale problems of Cypress

149
00:09:40,330 --> 00:09:41,707
have been brought
to the attention

150
00:09:41,790 --> 00:09:45,210
of all and sundry.

151
00:09:45,294 --> 00:09:47,045
Well, I cannot,

152
00:09:47,129 --> 00:09:48,922
nor do I wish to,

153
00:09:49,006 --> 00:09:51,425
ignore those rumors.

154
00:09:51,466 --> 00:09:53,218
And in the interest
of exploding

155
00:09:53,302 --> 00:09:54,552
or verifying them

156
00:09:54,553 --> 00:09:56,263
or perhaps
even compounding them,

157
00:09:56,305 --> 00:09:57,806
I find it necessary

158
00:09:57,848 --> 00:10:00,934
to investigate certain
otherwise irreproachable

159
00:10:01,018 --> 00:10:02,769
members of Cypress research.

160
00:10:05,897 --> 00:10:08,817
Call Dr. Philip Fletcher,
please.

161
00:10:33,508 --> 00:10:37,262
Do you recognize
this letter, doctor?

162
00:10:37,346 --> 00:10:39,014
You will have
to reply aloud, doctor.

163
00:10:39,097 --> 00:10:40,515
The stenographer
has to hear you.

164
00:10:40,557 --> 00:10:42,601
Oh, yes.

165
00:10:42,684 --> 00:10:45,354
Uh, I wrote it
to your office.

166
00:10:45,437 --> 00:10:47,230
I now will regret
that I did so.

167
00:10:49,149 --> 00:10:50,400
May I ask why, sir?

168
00:10:50,484 --> 00:10:52,402
Well, I...

169
00:10:52,486 --> 00:10:54,905
I'm not a complaining
sort of a person.

170
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:57,741
I try not to be.

171
00:10:57,783 --> 00:10:58,825
No one threatened you

172
00:10:58,867 --> 00:11:00,952
or reprimanded you
for writing to my office?

173
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:02,079
No.

174
00:11:04,581 --> 00:11:07,167
How long have you been
employed by Cypress Hills?

175
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:09,503
5 years.

176
00:11:09,544 --> 00:11:11,380
And in what capacity?

177
00:11:11,463 --> 00:11:14,049
Research consultant
in astrophysics.

178
00:11:18,220 --> 00:11:20,889
It says here
that you were...

179
00:11:20,972 --> 00:11:23,725
Awakened
by military policeman

180
00:11:23,809 --> 00:11:25,602
and taken out
of your quarters

181
00:11:25,644 --> 00:11:28,980
and taken
to security headquarters.

182
00:11:29,022 --> 00:11:30,023
Yes.

183
00:11:30,107 --> 00:11:32,484
What prompted that?
Do you know, doctor?

184
00:11:34,653 --> 00:11:36,738
I had written
some letters.

185
00:11:36,822 --> 00:11:38,281
To who?

186
00:11:38,323 --> 00:11:39,366
No one.

187
00:11:40,575 --> 00:11:42,160
No one?

188
00:11:42,244 --> 00:11:43,578
I mean,
I...

189
00:11:43,662 --> 00:11:45,664
I never mailed them.

190
00:11:45,706 --> 00:11:47,457
Oh, please, please,

191
00:11:47,541 --> 00:11:49,084
I don't want
to tell you.

192
00:11:50,210 --> 00:11:52,379
I didn't want
to tell them, but...

193
00:11:52,462 --> 00:11:54,464
They wouldn't take
no for an answer.

194
00:11:54,548 --> 00:11:57,384
They kept after me
and after me:

195
00:11:57,467 --> 00:11:59,803
Why did I write
those letters?

196
00:11:59,845 --> 00:12:02,264
And then tear them up
and burn them?

197
00:12:02,347 --> 00:12:05,267
Why did I write
in the dead of night?

198
00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:06,601
With the curtains drawn?

199
00:12:06,685 --> 00:12:07,853
Well, how could
anyone ever know

200
00:12:07,894 --> 00:12:09,271
you wrote
those letters, doctor?

201
00:12:09,354 --> 00:12:10,939
They know.

202
00:12:10,981 --> 00:12:12,816
They know everything.

203
00:12:12,899 --> 00:12:14,860
They know what you
say in your sleep,

204
00:12:14,943 --> 00:12:16,486
in your bathroom.

205
00:12:16,528 --> 00:12:20,115
And everywhere
rumors, fears.

206
00:12:20,198 --> 00:12:22,951
Cypress Hills is
just like a ghost town.

207
00:12:23,034 --> 00:12:26,204
People whisper
in their own houses.

208
00:12:26,288 --> 00:12:28,832
Husbands discuss
their wives,

209
00:12:28,874 --> 00:12:30,584
and...

210
00:12:30,667 --> 00:12:32,502
Nobody laughs.

211
00:12:35,088 --> 00:12:36,423
Is there any connection

212
00:12:36,506 --> 00:12:37,924
between these letters
you mentioned

213
00:12:38,008 --> 00:12:39,717
and the death
of captain Harrison?

214
00:12:39,718 --> 00:12:42,304
They have nothing
to do with it.

215
00:12:44,222 --> 00:12:45,432
About these letters,
doctor,

216
00:12:45,515 --> 00:12:46,933
I must ask you to explain.

217
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:51,146
I have
a terminal illness.

218
00:12:53,398 --> 00:12:56,735
When it's very painful,

219
00:12:56,818 --> 00:13:00,864
I want to have
at my side someone...

220
00:13:00,947 --> 00:13:04,367
Who is close to me.

221
00:13:04,409 --> 00:13:06,745
I wrote those letters

222
00:13:06,828 --> 00:13:08,914
to my son
in Philadelphia.

223
00:13:11,208 --> 00:13:13,335
He's a wonderful boy,
but...

224
00:13:13,418 --> 00:13:15,378
He's married,

225
00:13:15,420 --> 00:13:17,923
he has 2 children.

226
00:13:18,006 --> 00:13:21,885
To disrupt his life,
his home,

227
00:13:21,968 --> 00:13:25,555
to come and hold
an old man's hand...

228
00:13:30,018 --> 00:13:33,146
After the pain lets up,

229
00:13:33,230 --> 00:13:35,774
I always destroy
those letters.

230
00:13:40,821 --> 00:13:43,073
Thank you, doctor.

231
00:13:43,114 --> 00:13:44,157
You may go.

232
00:14:13,186 --> 00:14:15,021
Call Dr. Clifford Scott.

233
00:14:15,063 --> 00:14:16,731
Uh, Senator...

234
00:14:16,815 --> 00:14:18,525
Yes?

235
00:14:18,567 --> 00:14:19,818
Um...

236
00:14:19,860 --> 00:14:22,279
Dr. Scott is,
um, not here.

237
00:14:23,530 --> 00:14:24,447
He was called.

238
00:14:24,531 --> 00:14:25,448
He was, Senator.

239
00:14:25,532 --> 00:14:26,867
He's, uh, unable
to attend.

240
00:14:26,950 --> 00:14:27,909
He's unavailable.

241
00:14:27,993 --> 00:14:31,079
Dr. Clifford Scott,

242
00:14:31,162 --> 00:14:33,248
head of the Cypress Hills
research center,

243
00:14:33,331 --> 00:14:35,667
is unavailable.

244
00:14:35,709 --> 00:14:37,210
Well, now, I wish
you'd tell me why.

245
00:14:37,252 --> 00:14:39,421
He's suffering
a physical breakdown.

246
00:14:41,423 --> 00:14:43,008
As acting head
of the center,

247
00:14:43,049 --> 00:14:44,759
I'll gladly answer
all questions

248
00:14:44,843 --> 00:14:45,844
in the doctor's absence.

249
00:14:47,846 --> 00:14:49,723
Is Mrs. Clifford Scott
present?

250
00:14:49,764 --> 00:14:51,558
She's right outside.
Perhaps we sh...

251
00:14:51,683 --> 00:14:53,184
One moment.

252
00:14:53,226 --> 00:14:54,853
We had planned

253
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:56,688
on calling on you
later, Mr. Lomax,

254
00:14:56,730 --> 00:14:59,691
but since we've more
or less begun...

255
00:14:59,774 --> 00:15:01,359
Would you mind
taking the stand?

256
00:15:01,610 --> 00:15:03,570
No, not at all, Senator.

257
00:15:17,334 --> 00:15:20,003
How long have you been
at the center, Mr. Lomax?

258
00:15:20,045 --> 00:15:21,129
A little
over a year.

259
00:15:21,212 --> 00:15:22,464
Mm-hmm. How would you
describe

260
00:15:22,547 --> 00:15:25,050
the morale situation here?

261
00:15:25,091 --> 00:15:27,052
Oh, neither
better nor worse

262
00:15:27,135 --> 00:15:28,345
than we anticipated.

263
00:15:28,386 --> 00:15:30,138
Now, that seems to be
a discrepancy

264
00:15:30,221 --> 00:15:32,891
between Dr. Fletcher's
ghost town testimony

265
00:15:32,974 --> 00:15:34,225
and your statement.

266
00:15:34,267 --> 00:15:36,770
How do you account
for that?

267
00:15:36,895 --> 00:15:40,023
Scientists are
likely to be

268
00:15:40,065 --> 00:15:42,484
withdrawn, introspective
individuals

269
00:15:42,567 --> 00:15:45,820
with a great deal
of inner tension.

270
00:15:45,904 --> 00:15:46,905
The center's
composed

271
00:15:46,988 --> 00:15:48,573
almost exclusively
of such men.

272
00:15:48,615 --> 00:15:50,867
Those words describe
almost exactly

273
00:15:50,909 --> 00:15:54,162
my initial reaction
to the morale rumors.

274
00:15:54,204 --> 00:15:56,456
And I was, uh,
sorely tempted

275
00:15:56,539 --> 00:15:58,959
to credit that reaction.

276
00:15:59,042 --> 00:16:01,336
But a Senator must learn

277
00:16:01,378 --> 00:16:02,921
not to be impulsive.

278
00:16:05,006 --> 00:16:06,716
That is, until he has
all the statistics.

279
00:16:06,758 --> 00:16:07,676
Thank you.

280
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:10,011
That's a sound, uh...

281
00:16:10,053 --> 00:16:11,388
Scientific approach.

282
00:16:11,471 --> 00:16:14,808
I have here the war department's
statistical report

283
00:16:14,849 --> 00:16:16,726
on your center.

284
00:16:16,768 --> 00:16:18,937
About your, uh,
social problems.

285
00:16:19,020 --> 00:16:21,523
Your functions,

286
00:16:21,606 --> 00:16:23,817
golf tournaments,
and, uh...

287
00:16:23,858 --> 00:16:25,318
Barbecues, dances.

288
00:16:25,402 --> 00:16:26,903
All went
virtually unattended.

289
00:16:28,655 --> 00:16:30,615
As with any, uh,
small group

290
00:16:30,699 --> 00:16:32,117
in confined
surroundings,

291
00:16:32,158 --> 00:16:33,994
these social affairs
tend to start out

292
00:16:34,035 --> 00:16:37,122
with a great deal
of zest and enthusiasm

293
00:16:37,205 --> 00:16:39,124
and then run down.

294
00:16:39,165 --> 00:16:40,500
Well, now, that seems

295
00:16:40,542 --> 00:16:42,502
to be a gross understatement,
Mr. Lomax.

296
00:16:44,504 --> 00:16:46,756
The divorce rate
went up 400%,

297
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:49,551
alcoholism became
a major problem,

298
00:16:49,592 --> 00:16:52,970
and, uh, there were
3 suicides at the center.

299
00:16:52,971 --> 00:16:54,931
Now, remember,

300
00:16:54,973 --> 00:16:56,474
we're dealing
with people

301
00:16:56,558 --> 00:16:59,936
who are hard-driving,
fantastic perfectionists

302
00:16:59,978 --> 00:17:01,688
who live
on a veritable razor's edge.

303
00:17:03,898 --> 00:17:07,318
Now, about
that unfortunate homicide.

304
00:17:07,402 --> 00:17:09,779
Captain Harrison
was operating that machine,

305
00:17:09,863 --> 00:17:10,947
a, um...

306
00:17:11,031 --> 00:17:12,949
Data processing computer,

307
00:17:12,991 --> 00:17:14,075
I believe that's
what it's called?

308
00:17:14,117 --> 00:17:15,994
That's correct, Senator.

309
00:17:16,077 --> 00:17:18,747
We use it regularly
in security procedures.

310
00:17:18,830 --> 00:17:20,081
Well, what is it?

311
00:17:20,123 --> 00:17:21,666
How exactly does it work?

312
00:17:25,128 --> 00:17:26,379
Well, I'm afraid,

313
00:17:26,421 --> 00:17:27,630
Senator, I'm, um...

314
00:17:27,714 --> 00:17:29,132
Not at Liberty
to discuss it.

315
00:17:31,718 --> 00:17:34,262
I have here a, uh...

316
00:17:34,345 --> 00:17:36,639
Letter from
one of your technicians.

317
00:17:36,723 --> 00:17:38,641
A woman.

318
00:17:38,725 --> 00:17:40,143
Uh, do you mind
if I quote?

319
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:43,772
"There's a bizarre story
going the rounds.

320
00:17:43,855 --> 00:17:47,442
"They say the center
has a peeping-Tom machine

321
00:17:47,525 --> 00:17:49,569
"that follows you
anywhere, anytime,

322
00:17:49,611 --> 00:17:52,280
and sees and hears
everything."

323
00:17:52,363 --> 00:17:54,532
The device
is top-secret.

324
00:17:54,574 --> 00:17:55,950
I am unable
to discuss it.

325
00:18:02,123 --> 00:18:04,334
Colonel Grover, you are
the military liaison officer

326
00:18:04,375 --> 00:18:05,376
of this subcommittee.

327
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:07,587
I don't care
how you do it,

328
00:18:07,670 --> 00:18:09,297
but I expect to see
that machine

329
00:18:09,380 --> 00:18:10,548
in full operation

330
00:18:10,590 --> 00:18:12,759
first thing
tomorrow morning.

331
00:18:12,842 --> 00:18:15,386
Thank you, Mr. Lomax.
You may step down.

332
00:18:35,281 --> 00:18:37,283
Oh, Senator?

333
00:18:37,367 --> 00:18:38,868
You must have really
put on pressure

334
00:18:38,952 --> 00:18:40,578
to get clearance
from the Pentagon.

335
00:18:40,620 --> 00:18:42,122
I didn't think
any outsider

336
00:18:42,205 --> 00:18:43,414
would get
to see O.B.I.T.

337
00:18:43,456 --> 00:18:44,791
Well, I'm confident
that we will continue

338
00:18:44,874 --> 00:18:46,709
to get the cooperation
of the defense department.

339
00:18:46,793 --> 00:18:48,545
They realize that
the United States senate

340
00:18:48,586 --> 00:18:49,629
has the right
and the duty

341
00:18:49,671 --> 00:18:50,755
to get the facts,

342
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:51,840
all the facts.

343
00:18:51,923 --> 00:18:53,341
Well, Senator...

344
00:18:53,383 --> 00:18:55,468
Are we going to see
a demonstration

345
00:18:55,510 --> 00:18:57,595
of the peeping Tom?

346
00:19:11,943 --> 00:19:15,113
Do I understand you
correctly?

347
00:19:15,363 --> 00:19:17,198
This machine can
pick up people

348
00:19:17,282 --> 00:19:19,242
anywhere, anytime,

349
00:19:19,325 --> 00:19:21,744
through steel
or concrete walls?

350
00:19:21,828 --> 00:19:24,956
Well, the, uh, density
of the surrounding

351
00:19:24,998 --> 00:19:29,252
has no appreciable effect
on reception.

352
00:19:29,335 --> 00:19:31,337
What do you call it?

353
00:19:31,379 --> 00:19:32,922
O-B-I-T.

354
00:19:33,006 --> 00:19:34,048
Or O.B.I.T.

355
00:19:35,508 --> 00:19:36,467
Actually, uh,

356
00:19:36,551 --> 00:19:37,677
those are initials for

357
00:19:37,719 --> 00:19:41,639
outer band
individuated teletracer.

358
00:19:43,016 --> 00:19:44,434
How does it work?

359
00:19:45,727 --> 00:19:47,312
Well, you see,

360
00:19:47,353 --> 00:19:52,567
um, every living organism
is a transmitter

361
00:19:52,650 --> 00:19:54,194
operating 24 hours a day,

362
00:19:54,235 --> 00:19:55,653
and that, of course,

363
00:19:55,737 --> 00:19:58,406
is true
of human beings, too.

364
00:19:58,489 --> 00:20:00,033
Uh, awake or asleep,

365
00:20:00,116 --> 00:20:03,077
active or passive,
we are each of us

366
00:20:03,161 --> 00:20:07,832
constantly sending out
our particular brain waves,

367
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:09,792
heart sounds,
respiratory rhythms,

368
00:20:09,876 --> 00:20:11,961
and, uh... well,
like fingerprints,

369
00:20:12,045 --> 00:20:16,716
no 2 human patterns
are, uh, alike.

370
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:18,384
Well, now, do you
mean to tell me

371
00:20:18,426 --> 00:20:21,471
that you can pick up
anyone's signal at will?

372
00:20:21,512 --> 00:20:23,765
Yes. It's like, uh...

373
00:20:23,848 --> 00:20:25,099
A push-button radio.

374
00:20:25,183 --> 00:20:29,437
You see, once we have
an individual tuned in

375
00:20:29,479 --> 00:20:31,022
and have their
particular wavelength,

376
00:20:31,105 --> 00:20:33,691
it's simply
a matter of, uh...

377
00:20:33,775 --> 00:20:35,151
Hitting
the right buttons and...

378
00:20:36,319 --> 00:20:38,321
Bringing them in.

379
00:20:38,363 --> 00:20:40,073
Who is that?

380
00:20:40,156 --> 00:20:42,242
That's, um,
Ed Wilson,

381
00:20:42,325 --> 00:20:43,952
one of the draftsmen
at Cypress Hills.

382
00:20:43,993 --> 00:20:46,788
He's in Washington
on a particular project.

383
00:20:46,871 --> 00:20:50,750
I knew
his wavelength code.

384
00:20:50,833 --> 00:20:52,877
Suppose you didn't?

385
00:20:52,961 --> 00:20:54,462
Well, I could
still bring him in

386
00:20:54,504 --> 00:20:56,422
on this location finder.

387
00:20:56,506 --> 00:20:57,924
You see,
this dial tells us

388
00:20:58,007 --> 00:21:00,217
where we're picking up
our transmission from.

389
00:21:00,218 --> 00:21:02,053
It's like
a shortwave receiver

390
00:21:02,136 --> 00:21:04,430
that says London,
Moscow,

391
00:21:04,514 --> 00:21:06,015
Washington, Bangkok.

392
00:21:06,057 --> 00:21:09,227
I can turn this dial
to a given location

393
00:21:09,352 --> 00:21:11,104
and pick up signals from

394
00:21:11,145 --> 00:21:14,023
the various persons
there.

395
00:21:14,107 --> 00:21:17,026
And you can do this
anywhere on earth?

396
00:21:17,110 --> 00:21:19,779
Oh, we're limited to
a 500-mile radius now,

397
00:21:19,821 --> 00:21:23,408
but we're working
to extend that limit.

398
00:21:23,491 --> 00:21:24,951
Wouldn't you say,
Mr. Lomax,

399
00:21:25,034 --> 00:21:27,578
that this machine
in large part

400
00:21:27,662 --> 00:21:29,747
was responsible
for the faltering morale

401
00:21:29,831 --> 00:21:31,332
of the research center?

402
00:21:31,374 --> 00:21:32,625
Well, nobody
at the center

403
00:21:32,709 --> 00:21:34,544
was aware of O.B.I.T.'s
existence.

404
00:21:36,087 --> 00:21:38,339
Dr. Fletcher was
pulled in for questioning

405
00:21:38,423 --> 00:21:39,507
on the basis
of the information

406
00:21:39,590 --> 00:21:41,676
you received
on this machine.

407
00:21:41,718 --> 00:21:43,386
No doubt others
were questioned.

408
00:21:43,469 --> 00:21:45,555
People with nothing
to hide

409
00:21:45,596 --> 00:21:47,056
have nothing to fear
from O.B.I.T.

410
00:21:48,599 --> 00:21:52,519
Are you that perfect,
Mr. Lomax?

411
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,731
Well, I'd hate to have
that thing trained on me

412
00:21:54,814 --> 00:21:56,774
when I was cussing out
fellow Senators

413
00:21:56,816 --> 00:21:58,693
or the president
of the United States

414
00:21:58,776 --> 00:22:00,570
or my former law partner,

415
00:22:00,653 --> 00:22:02,405
to say nothing
of my wife.

416
00:22:04,157 --> 00:22:05,325
That will be all,
Mr. Lomax.

417
00:22:07,285 --> 00:22:09,454
Oh, just a moment.

418
00:22:10,580 --> 00:22:12,373
Are you the inventor
of O.B.I.T.?

419
00:22:12,457 --> 00:22:13,583
Oh, no, Senator.

420
00:22:13,666 --> 00:22:15,585
I was assigned
to operate it

421
00:22:15,626 --> 00:22:17,587
and tabulate
statistics.

422
00:22:17,628 --> 00:22:19,213
By whom?

423
00:22:19,297 --> 00:22:21,049
Well,
the defense department.

424
00:22:28,306 --> 00:22:29,223
Thank you.

425
00:22:39,150 --> 00:22:41,486
Colonel Grover, will you
please take the chair?

426
00:22:57,126 --> 00:22:59,337
Colonel Grover, why weren't
the American people notified

427
00:22:59,420 --> 00:23:00,755
of the existence
of this equipment?

428
00:23:00,838 --> 00:23:02,757
Well, let me say

429
00:23:02,799 --> 00:23:04,717
that the intelligence
community

430
00:23:04,801 --> 00:23:08,221
must of necessity employ
many secret devices.

431
00:23:08,304 --> 00:23:11,557
And who authorized
its acceptance and purchase?

432
00:23:11,641 --> 00:23:15,060
Well, the head of G-2
signed the papers.

433
00:23:15,061 --> 00:23:16,729
But, of course,
hundreds of items

434
00:23:16,813 --> 00:23:17,855
cross his desk daily,

435
00:23:17,897 --> 00:23:20,149
and I'm certain he never
got a proper picture

436
00:23:20,191 --> 00:23:21,359
of this machine
any more than I did.

437
00:23:21,442 --> 00:23:23,820
He merely signed
the papers.

438
00:23:23,861 --> 00:23:25,780
Well, now,
who wrote the papers

439
00:23:25,822 --> 00:23:28,074
that the head of G-2
merely signed?

440
00:23:28,157 --> 00:23:30,910
We haven't been able
to find him.

441
00:23:35,748 --> 00:23:37,250
Who manufactures it?

442
00:23:37,333 --> 00:23:40,962
Heh. A company that's
since gone out of business.

443
00:23:43,631 --> 00:23:46,050
Colonel, if this
is the old badger game

444
00:23:46,134 --> 00:23:47,051
and if your department

445
00:23:47,135 --> 00:23:48,386
is knowingly
concealing information

446
00:23:48,511 --> 00:23:49,887
from the Senatorial
investigation...

447
00:23:49,929 --> 00:23:51,013
I assure you, Senator,

448
00:23:51,097 --> 00:23:52,473
we're as much
in the dark as you are.

449
00:23:52,515 --> 00:23:54,100
Colonel, I want
every available record

450
00:23:54,183 --> 00:23:55,768
on that machine,
and I want them quickly!

451
00:23:55,852 --> 00:23:57,228
Is that clear?

452
00:23:57,270 --> 00:23:59,564
That will be all,
Colonel.

453
00:24:06,070 --> 00:24:08,114
Call Mrs. Clifford Scott.

454
00:24:23,004 --> 00:24:25,840
Would you take the chair,
please, Mrs. Scott?

455
00:24:38,728 --> 00:24:42,273
Mrs. Scott...

456
00:24:42,315 --> 00:24:44,650
How would you describe
the morale climate

457
00:24:44,734 --> 00:24:47,820
at Cypress Hills?

458
00:24:47,862 --> 00:24:49,071
Not good.

459
00:24:49,155 --> 00:24:51,741
And, uh, did
this condition prevail

460
00:24:51,782 --> 00:24:53,659
when you and your husband
first moved out here?

461
00:24:53,701 --> 00:24:56,120
Well, it wasn't
until toward the last

462
00:24:56,162 --> 00:24:59,123
that things became
almost unbearable.

463
00:24:59,207 --> 00:25:02,335
And would you attribute it
to that machine?

464
00:25:03,836 --> 00:25:04,962
I didn't know
it existed

465
00:25:05,046 --> 00:25:06,797
until I heard
about it this morning.

466
00:25:06,839 --> 00:25:08,758
And who told you
about it?

467
00:25:09,050 --> 00:25:10,134
Mr. Lomax.

468
00:25:10,384 --> 00:25:13,971
Your husband never
mentioned O.B.I.T. To you?

469
00:25:14,013 --> 00:25:16,349
No. He never spoke
of security matters.

470
00:25:16,432 --> 00:25:18,226
But Mr. Lomax
did this morning?

471
00:25:18,267 --> 00:25:20,269
Senator,

472
00:25:20,353 --> 00:25:22,355
Mrs. Scott was called
as a witness.

473
00:25:22,438 --> 00:25:24,941
She's the wife of the head
of Cypress Hills.

474
00:25:25,024 --> 00:25:26,150
I don't see any harm...

475
00:25:26,234 --> 00:25:27,527
Neither do I.

476
00:25:29,070 --> 00:25:30,655
Mrs. Scott,
it's in the record

477
00:25:30,738 --> 00:25:33,449
that you had filed
for separation

478
00:25:33,491 --> 00:25:34,867
from your husband.

479
00:25:34,909 --> 00:25:36,077
Yes.

480
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,454
But I never
pursued it. I...

481
00:25:38,538 --> 00:25:41,290
I began to see
that he was ill.

482
00:25:41,374 --> 00:25:43,793
And you never
actually separated?

483
00:25:43,876 --> 00:25:44,877
No.

484
00:25:44,961 --> 00:25:47,046
Have you ever visited him
at the rest home?

485
00:25:47,296 --> 00:25:49,882
I don't know
where he is.

486
00:25:49,966 --> 00:25:52,051
We've hunted everywhere
for him, but...

487
00:25:52,134 --> 00:25:53,511
We?

488
00:25:53,594 --> 00:25:56,055
Yes. Mr. Lomax
and I.

489
00:25:56,138 --> 00:25:58,766
We've phoned
and written

490
00:25:58,808 --> 00:26:01,727
and hounded the army.

491
00:26:01,811 --> 00:26:03,896
Maybe he just doesn't
want to see me.

492
00:26:03,980 --> 00:26:05,731
Well, you don't
know that for sure.

493
00:26:07,066 --> 00:26:09,151
No, but...

494
00:26:09,193 --> 00:26:10,945
These past months,

495
00:26:10,987 --> 00:26:13,781
before they
took him away, he...

496
00:26:14,949 --> 00:26:15,866
Please go on.

497
00:26:15,950 --> 00:26:18,327
Well, he...

498
00:26:18,369 --> 00:26:21,289
He imagined things...

499
00:26:21,372 --> 00:26:23,124
About me.

500
00:26:23,165 --> 00:26:27,128
He accused me
of horrible things.

501
00:26:27,211 --> 00:26:31,007
He called me
a monster.

502
00:26:31,090 --> 00:26:32,508
And then
he began to speak

503
00:26:32,550 --> 00:26:35,344
of seeing real monsters.

504
00:26:37,179 --> 00:26:38,347
And finally one night,

505
00:26:38,431 --> 00:26:40,808
he didn't come home,

506
00:26:40,850 --> 00:26:42,768
and they told me

507
00:26:42,852 --> 00:26:45,062
that he had
had a physical breakdown

508
00:26:45,104 --> 00:26:48,399
and that they had
taken him somewhere.

509
00:26:50,776 --> 00:26:52,236
I don't know
what to believe.

510
00:27:07,710 --> 00:27:09,920
Did you locate
Dr. Scott yet?

511
00:27:09,962 --> 00:27:11,047
No, sir.

512
00:27:11,130 --> 00:27:12,381
Why not?

513
00:27:12,465 --> 00:27:13,924
I'd like to take
this matter

514
00:27:14,008 --> 00:27:16,260
up with you
during recess.

515
00:27:19,972 --> 00:27:21,515
Thank you,
Mrs. Scott.

516
00:27:52,630 --> 00:27:54,215
It is not
in the best interests

517
00:27:54,298 --> 00:27:55,383
of the government

518
00:27:55,424 --> 00:27:57,634
for Dr. Scott to attend
these hearings.

519
00:27:57,635 --> 00:27:59,637
Who said so?

520
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,597
Senator,
you have no idea

521
00:28:01,639 --> 00:28:02,932
what you're
opening up.

522
00:28:03,015 --> 00:28:05,142
Well, perhaps you
might enlighten me.

523
00:28:05,226 --> 00:28:07,353
I'm afraid
that's impossible.

524
00:28:07,436 --> 00:28:08,854
Well, are you
trying to tell me

525
00:28:08,938 --> 00:28:10,773
that I can't be trusted
with secret data

526
00:28:10,815 --> 00:28:12,024
and you can?

527
00:28:12,108 --> 00:28:13,693
It's not
a matter of trust.

528
00:28:13,776 --> 00:28:17,321
Well, what is it
a matter of?

529
00:28:17,363 --> 00:28:18,406
Senator,

530
00:28:18,447 --> 00:28:20,324
the storm warnings
are up back home.

531
00:28:20,408 --> 00:28:23,994
You're facing
a very rough election.

532
00:28:24,036 --> 00:28:25,788
Now, I don't think
it would help

533
00:28:25,871 --> 00:28:27,123
if you were
to be charged

534
00:28:27,206 --> 00:28:28,708
with undermining
the security

535
00:28:28,791 --> 00:28:30,459
of your country.

536
00:28:30,501 --> 00:28:33,587
Colonel, I want
to see Scott.

537
00:28:33,671 --> 00:28:35,798
Even at such
a price?

538
00:28:35,881 --> 00:28:38,634
Yes.

539
00:28:38,676 --> 00:28:41,011
Should you make
a moral decision

540
00:28:41,095 --> 00:28:42,221
so abruptly?

541
00:28:42,304 --> 00:28:45,683
Morality makes its own
decisions, Colonel.

542
00:28:45,808 --> 00:28:47,685
I want to see Scott,

543
00:28:47,810 --> 00:28:50,062
and I want
to see him tonight.

544
00:30:02,384 --> 00:30:03,761
I'm sorry, Senator,

545
00:30:03,844 --> 00:30:05,679
but Dr. Scott doesn't
want to see anyone.

546
00:30:05,721 --> 00:30:06,722
Or perhaps it's that

547
00:30:06,764 --> 00:30:08,599
he doesn't want
anyone to see him.

548
00:30:08,682 --> 00:30:10,726
Why is he
in this place, Colonel?

549
00:30:10,768 --> 00:30:12,019
Well, you heard
Mr. Lomax say...

550
00:30:12,061 --> 00:30:13,979
A complete
physical breakdown.

551
00:30:14,063 --> 00:30:15,481
Which is
his very polite way

552
00:30:15,523 --> 00:30:16,774
of saying
that the man is not

553
00:30:16,857 --> 00:30:18,234
in full possession
of his senses.

554
00:30:18,275 --> 00:30:19,276
Yes.

555
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,695
Then can a man who is
considered irrational

556
00:30:21,737 --> 00:30:22,947
be given the right
to decide

557
00:30:23,030 --> 00:30:25,115
as to whether or not
the United States senate

558
00:30:25,199 --> 00:30:27,326
can properly conduct
investigations?

559
00:30:27,368 --> 00:30:29,745
Well, I cannot conduct
this investigation

560
00:30:29,829 --> 00:30:30,871
without all the facts,

561
00:30:30,913 --> 00:30:32,373
and you know this,
Colonel.

562
00:30:32,456 --> 00:30:34,959
And Dr. Scott has
especially pertinent facts

563
00:30:35,042 --> 00:30:37,127
which I need.

564
00:30:37,169 --> 00:30:39,213
Well, if you wanna
take the responsibility

565
00:30:39,255 --> 00:30:40,339
for interrogating
a sick man...

566
00:30:40,422 --> 00:30:42,341
Not interrogation,
Colonel,

567
00:30:42,383 --> 00:30:44,969
just a few questions.

568
00:31:07,032 --> 00:31:08,117
Dr. Scott?

569
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,411
Colonel Grover again.

570
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:21,505
Dr. Scott?

571
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:24,967
Come in.

572
00:31:31,599 --> 00:31:34,518
Dr. Scott,
I'm Senator Orville.

573
00:31:34,560 --> 00:31:36,896
I know.

574
00:31:36,979 --> 00:31:38,814
Colonel,
the corridor's drafty.

575
00:31:38,856 --> 00:31:40,649
Please close the door.

576
00:31:44,153 --> 00:31:45,738
Do you know
why I'm here?

577
00:31:45,821 --> 00:31:47,114
Oh, yes.

578
00:31:49,533 --> 00:31:52,494
Do you know why I'm here?

579
00:31:52,578 --> 00:31:55,873
I know
what I've been told.

580
00:31:55,956 --> 00:31:57,416
Don't you believe it?

581
00:31:57,666 --> 00:31:59,585
Doctor, I'm a Senator,

582
00:31:59,668 --> 00:32:01,879
not a psychiatrist.

583
00:32:02,129 --> 00:32:03,797
You're here
because you belong here,

584
00:32:03,881 --> 00:32:05,549
or you're being held...
I believe the word is

585
00:32:05,633 --> 00:32:06,800
incommunicado.

586
00:32:06,884 --> 00:32:08,636
Either way,
it's a direct result

587
00:32:08,677 --> 00:32:10,596
of the conditions
at Cypress Hills.

588
00:32:10,679 --> 00:32:12,973
A direct result.

589
00:32:18,103 --> 00:32:20,814
When I told them
what I saw,

590
00:32:20,898 --> 00:32:24,902
they got very quiet

591
00:32:24,944 --> 00:32:30,032
and looked at me
with great, quiet eyes.

592
00:32:31,533 --> 00:32:34,161
Quiet can
tell you so much.

593
00:32:36,622 --> 00:32:37,957
Until they looked
at me that way,

594
00:32:37,998 --> 00:32:39,917
I was certain
that I had seen

595
00:32:40,042 --> 00:32:42,086
what I had seen.

596
00:32:42,127 --> 00:32:44,004
Dead certain.

597
00:32:44,088 --> 00:32:47,174
What did you see,
doctor?

598
00:32:47,216 --> 00:32:49,802
Of course, I hadn't.

599
00:32:49,885 --> 00:32:51,804
It was just that...

600
00:32:51,887 --> 00:32:53,138
My life had become
a nightmare,

601
00:32:53,180 --> 00:32:55,933
so naturally I saw
the kind of things

602
00:32:56,016 --> 00:32:58,602
that inhabit
a nightmare world.

603
00:33:01,105 --> 00:33:02,648
Dr. Scott...

604
00:33:03,816 --> 00:33:05,109
I saw a monster.

605
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:13,117
I saw a monster.

606
00:33:19,081 --> 00:33:20,541
When I told them that.

607
00:33:20,749 --> 00:33:22,918
They got very quiet.

608
00:33:23,210 --> 00:33:26,463
Can you
describe these...

609
00:33:26,922 --> 00:33:29,174
This monstrous thing
you saw?

610
00:33:31,260 --> 00:33:34,471
That's very strange.

611
00:33:34,763 --> 00:33:36,181
You're the first one
who's asked me

612
00:33:36,223 --> 00:33:37,516
to describe it.

613
00:33:37,558 --> 00:33:40,102
Did you see it
on the O.B.I.T. Screen?

614
00:33:41,270 --> 00:33:42,396
Yes.

615
00:33:48,569 --> 00:33:51,613
Is it my imagination,
Senator,

616
00:33:51,655 --> 00:33:53,782
or do you believe me?

617
00:33:53,866 --> 00:33:55,784
I believe you saw
something,

618
00:33:55,868 --> 00:33:57,870
something monstrous.

619
00:33:57,911 --> 00:33:59,496
Why?

620
00:33:59,580 --> 00:34:01,832
Because you
believe it.

621
00:34:01,915 --> 00:34:03,625
Do I?

622
00:34:03,667 --> 00:34:05,169
I think you do.

623
00:34:07,546 --> 00:34:09,381
Of course, I do.

624
00:34:09,423 --> 00:34:11,300
No one has ever been
able to convince me

625
00:34:11,383 --> 00:34:13,594
that I didn't see it.

626
00:34:13,635 --> 00:34:15,679
I wish they could,
but they couldn't

627
00:34:15,763 --> 00:34:17,181
yet you stayed here

628
00:34:17,222 --> 00:34:19,475
and pretended
to agree with them.

629
00:34:19,516 --> 00:34:22,102
I'm out of it now.
I'm away from it.

630
00:34:22,144 --> 00:34:24,480
I just want
to forget it.

631
00:34:24,563 --> 00:34:25,898
Doctor, I'd like you
to return with us

632
00:34:25,939 --> 00:34:26,940
to Cypress Hills.

633
00:34:27,024 --> 00:34:28,650
I'd like to question
you on the stand.

634
00:34:28,734 --> 00:34:29,777
Oh, no.

635
00:34:29,818 --> 00:34:30,778
I need your help, doctor.

636
00:34:30,861 --> 00:34:32,780
Everybody at Cypress Hills
needs your help.

637
00:34:32,863 --> 00:34:33,822
Not everybody.

638
00:34:33,906 --> 00:34:34,823
Now, if you're
referring to your wife,

639
00:34:34,907 --> 00:34:35,866
you're wrong, doctor.

640
00:34:35,908 --> 00:34:36,825
She needs
your help, too.

641
00:34:36,909 --> 00:34:37,826
I'm not referring
to my wife.

642
00:34:37,910 --> 00:34:39,328
Someone else there
who doesn't want me

643
00:34:39,411 --> 00:34:40,996
to say anything more
than I've already said,

644
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,331
who'd be perfectly
willing to kill me

645
00:34:42,414 --> 00:34:43,874
rather than let me talk.

646
00:34:46,502 --> 00:34:48,879
Why do you think
I'm willing to stay here?

647
00:34:48,921 --> 00:34:50,923
Because I'm safe.

648
00:34:53,133 --> 00:34:55,636
As long as I'm insane,
I'm safe.

649
00:35:00,933 --> 00:35:02,810
It's a pretty lousy way
to live, isn't it, doctor?

650
00:35:09,191 --> 00:35:12,945
I hope that you believe
in nightmares, Senator.

651
00:35:48,897 --> 00:35:51,650
Well, I phoned
several times,

652
00:35:51,692 --> 00:35:54,653
but they won't
let me talk to him.

653
00:35:54,736 --> 00:35:55,863
They said
that Senator Orville

654
00:35:55,946 --> 00:35:57,239
hasn't been
at the rest home

655
00:35:57,322 --> 00:35:59,158
and hasn't
seen my husband.

656
00:36:04,663 --> 00:36:06,748
Why do you keep asking?

657
00:36:08,417 --> 00:36:09,960
Sometimes I...

658
00:36:10,043 --> 00:36:12,629
I feel that you don't
care about me at all

659
00:36:12,713 --> 00:36:17,551
and that you're using me
in some odd way.

660
00:36:19,845 --> 00:36:22,556
I'm sorry, Byron,
I do know better,

661
00:36:22,598 --> 00:36:24,433
only sometimes I...

662
00:36:26,518 --> 00:36:28,103
All right, Byron.

663
00:36:28,145 --> 00:36:30,480
Will you call me
if you hear anything?

664
00:36:47,915 --> 00:36:49,458
I couldn't get
anything out of her.

665
00:36:49,499 --> 00:36:50,584
If Orville's found Scott,

666
00:36:50,667 --> 00:36:52,252
he's keeping him
out of range.

667
00:36:52,336 --> 00:36:55,839
Something far more worrisome
than Scott has come up.

668
00:36:55,881 --> 00:36:57,424
A night watchman
at the center,

669
00:36:57,507 --> 00:36:59,426
Armand Younger.

670
00:36:59,509 --> 00:37:00,969
He saw me?

671
00:37:01,011 --> 00:37:02,429
He claims he saw someone

672
00:37:02,512 --> 00:37:04,932
inside the restricted zone
of the center.

673
00:37:05,015 --> 00:37:06,808
Never gave it much thought

674
00:37:06,850 --> 00:37:08,810
till he read
about the investigation.

675
00:37:08,894 --> 00:37:10,479
He offered to testify.

676
00:37:10,562 --> 00:37:12,231
But if he saw me,
I haven't a...

677
00:37:12,314 --> 00:37:13,815
Not your face.

678
00:37:13,857 --> 00:37:15,692
He claims he saw
the killer from the back

679
00:37:15,776 --> 00:37:17,694
as he left
the murder scene.

680
00:37:17,778 --> 00:37:19,112
He mentioned
a peculiar walk

681
00:37:19,154 --> 00:37:21,073
he's certain
he could identify.

682
00:37:21,156 --> 00:37:23,492
Where is he now?

683
00:37:30,666 --> 00:37:32,209
He's still
in his apartment.

684
00:37:32,334 --> 00:37:36,630
1708 west Holton street,
apartment 12.

685
00:37:36,713 --> 00:37:38,799
Have you what you
need this time?

686
00:37:38,882 --> 00:37:41,218
I won't be taken
by surprise again.

687
00:37:44,930 --> 00:37:48,183
Mr. Younger,
it's Senator Orville.

688
00:37:48,225 --> 00:37:50,018
You'll have to sign
some documents

689
00:37:50,060 --> 00:37:51,561
before you can appear.

690
00:37:56,483 --> 00:37:58,026
Put that thing down!

691
00:37:58,110 --> 00:37:59,111
Who are you?!

692
00:38:32,978 --> 00:38:34,604
Call Armand Younger.

693
00:38:34,688 --> 00:38:37,024
Uh, Senator...

694
00:38:37,107 --> 00:38:40,110
He isn't here.

695
00:38:40,152 --> 00:38:41,987
Where is he?

696
00:38:42,070 --> 00:38:43,030
We don't know.

697
00:38:43,071 --> 00:38:45,407
You don't know?!

698
00:38:45,490 --> 00:38:46,908
Well, he isn't
in his apartment.

699
00:38:46,950 --> 00:38:48,368
He may have gone off
on a binge

700
00:38:48,452 --> 00:38:50,370
or run away somewhere,
I can't say,

701
00:38:50,454 --> 00:38:51,830
but we're looking for him.

702
00:38:51,872 --> 00:38:52,831
Colonel Grover,
will you please

703
00:38:52,914 --> 00:38:54,166
take the stand?

704
00:39:03,508 --> 00:39:06,011
Colonel Grover,
I assume you have a record

705
00:39:06,094 --> 00:39:07,471
of the number
of O.B.I.T. Machines

706
00:39:07,512 --> 00:39:09,097
in use at the present time.

707
00:39:09,139 --> 00:39:12,517
Yes, an instillation
check has revealed

708
00:39:12,601 --> 00:39:14,186
that there are
18 O.B.I.T.s

709
00:39:14,269 --> 00:39:17,105
in use on our
military bases,

710
00:39:17,147 --> 00:39:19,358
and we've discovered
that these machines

711
00:39:19,441 --> 00:39:21,026
are also
being employed

712
00:39:21,109 --> 00:39:22,861
in civilian life.

713
00:39:22,944 --> 00:39:26,406
Well, how is that possible?
They're top secret.

714
00:39:26,448 --> 00:39:28,200
I don't know, sir.

715
00:39:28,241 --> 00:39:29,743
Are they used
in industry?

716
00:39:29,826 --> 00:39:33,163
Industry, education,

717
00:39:33,205 --> 00:39:36,958
communication networks,
all over the country.

718
00:39:37,042 --> 00:39:40,128
It's like
a debilitating disease.

719
00:39:40,170 --> 00:39:43,340
Now, surely there...
There must be a record

720
00:39:43,423 --> 00:39:45,926
of the total number
of machines installed?

721
00:39:45,967 --> 00:39:48,136
There are no records.

722
00:39:48,178 --> 00:39:49,513
None at all?

723
00:39:49,596 --> 00:39:53,934
It's awful. Awful!

724
00:39:53,975 --> 00:39:59,689
I feel responsible.
I should've spoken out.

725
00:39:59,731 --> 00:40:01,650
Weren't you in favor
of O.B.I.T.?

726
00:40:01,733 --> 00:40:03,693
I was at first,

727
00:40:03,777 --> 00:40:05,695
but I was wrong.

728
00:40:05,737 --> 00:40:10,158
It's the most hideous
creation ever conceived.

729
00:40:10,242 --> 00:40:14,871
No one can laugh or joke.

730
00:40:14,955 --> 00:40:18,375
It watches.

731
00:40:18,458 --> 00:40:21,169
It saps the very spirit.

732
00:40:23,213 --> 00:40:27,008
And the worst thing
of all is...

733
00:40:27,092 --> 00:40:28,718
I watch it.

734
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:33,849
I can't not look.

735
00:40:33,932 --> 00:40:36,852
It's like a drug,

736
00:40:36,935 --> 00:40:41,314
a horrible drug.
You can't resist it.

737
00:40:41,398 --> 00:40:44,401
It's an addiction.

738
00:40:52,159 --> 00:40:56,413
What Colonel Grover has done
is a very brave thing.

739
00:40:56,496 --> 00:40:59,833
Addiction to any form
of deadliness is

740
00:40:59,916 --> 00:41:03,628
difficult to admit.

741
00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:06,715
In the past 24 hours,
I have learned facts

742
00:41:06,798 --> 00:41:09,634
and seen examples
of this debilitating disease

743
00:41:09,676 --> 00:41:15,223
that's been infesting
this great country of ours.

744
00:41:15,348 --> 00:41:18,351
And I have been advised
to leave it alone,

745
00:41:18,393 --> 00:41:21,021
to drop it.

746
00:41:21,313 --> 00:41:22,481
I have been threatened

747
00:41:22,522 --> 00:41:26,651
with the loss
of political support.

748
00:41:26,943 --> 00:41:29,362
But I just happen to believe
that the people

749
00:41:29,446 --> 00:41:31,448
who entrusted me
with this office

750
00:41:31,531 --> 00:41:38,330
might just like
to know all the facts.

751
00:41:38,413 --> 00:41:42,292
Even the ones
that no human mind

752
00:41:42,334 --> 00:41:44,252
today can explain.

753
00:41:46,379 --> 00:41:48,757
Call Dr. and Mrs. Scott
please.

754
00:41:55,972 --> 00:41:59,392
Mrs. Scott, will you
please be seated?

755
00:41:59,434 --> 00:42:02,020
Dr. Scott, would you
please take the stand?

756
00:42:20,413 --> 00:42:22,541
Doctor, I don't want
to tax your strength,

757
00:42:22,624 --> 00:42:24,376
so if you feel
you need a rest,

758
00:42:24,417 --> 00:42:27,504
let me know and we'll
hold up proceedings.

759
00:42:27,837 --> 00:42:31,633
How long have you
been confined to a rest home?

760
00:42:31,716 --> 00:42:33,093
A month.

761
00:42:33,134 --> 00:42:36,179
And what was the reason
for that confinement?

762
00:42:36,221 --> 00:42:38,473
The doctor said
that I was suffering

763
00:42:38,515 --> 00:42:40,767
complete exhaustion

764
00:42:40,809 --> 00:42:44,020
precipitated
by anxiety.

765
00:42:44,104 --> 00:42:47,023
Now, doctor, during
this period of time,

766
00:42:47,065 --> 00:42:49,526
did you ever suffer
from a lapse of memory

767
00:42:49,609 --> 00:42:52,404
or incoherence
or hallucinations

768
00:42:52,487 --> 00:42:55,365
or any other mental
aberrations of this type

769
00:42:55,407 --> 00:42:58,076
that might tend
to impair your judgment?

770
00:42:58,159 --> 00:42:59,995
No.

771
00:43:00,036 --> 00:43:01,079
Have you ever suffered

772
00:43:01,162 --> 00:43:03,039
from the conditions
I described?

773
00:43:03,081 --> 00:43:06,001
I have not.

774
00:43:06,042 --> 00:43:07,877
Now, doctor, as head

775
00:43:07,961 --> 00:43:11,256
of the Cypress Hill
research center,

776
00:43:11,339 --> 00:43:13,133
can you recall
your reaction

777
00:43:13,216 --> 00:43:15,302
when O.B.I.T. Was
first installed?

778
00:43:15,385 --> 00:43:17,846
I was unalterably
opposed to it.

779
00:43:17,887 --> 00:43:18,930
And did you notify

780
00:43:19,014 --> 00:43:20,348
the defense department
of this?

781
00:43:20,390 --> 00:43:21,558
Yes.

782
00:43:21,683 --> 00:43:23,476
And what did they do?

783
00:43:23,518 --> 00:43:25,645
Nothing.

784
00:43:25,687 --> 00:43:27,397
I got the view
that they thought

785
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:29,399
that the machine was
highly successful

786
00:43:29,482 --> 00:43:33,486
in eliminating
undesirable elements.

787
00:43:33,737 --> 00:43:35,989
Who told you this?

788
00:43:39,451 --> 00:43:40,994
Mr. Byron Lomax.

789
00:43:44,539 --> 00:43:48,084
What were your feelings
towards Mr. Lomax?

790
00:43:48,168 --> 00:43:51,087
I considered him
highly intelligent.

791
00:43:51,338 --> 00:43:53,381
Very perceptive.

792
00:43:54,841 --> 00:43:56,926
Were your relations
cordial?

793
00:43:57,010 --> 00:43:59,346
No,

794
00:43:59,387 --> 00:44:01,848
but respectful.

795
00:44:01,931 --> 00:44:04,017
Till I found out
what was happening

796
00:44:04,059 --> 00:44:05,769
to the people
at the center.

797
00:44:05,852 --> 00:44:10,815
Friends. Colleagues.

798
00:44:10,857 --> 00:44:12,942
I couldn't bear
to look at the man.

799
00:44:13,026 --> 00:44:14,611
I hated what
he stood for.

800
00:44:14,653 --> 00:44:17,572
Did you continue
your efforts

801
00:44:17,656 --> 00:44:19,157
to have O.B.I.T. Removed?

802
00:44:21,826 --> 00:44:22,911
No.

803
00:44:22,994 --> 00:44:24,287
Why not?

804
00:44:24,371 --> 00:44:26,331
Well...

805
00:44:28,958 --> 00:44:30,460
I was having
what was becoming

806
00:44:30,502 --> 00:44:34,172
a daily argument
with Lomax over O.B.I.T.

807
00:44:37,008 --> 00:44:40,929
He deliberately clicked
on a familiar image

808
00:44:40,970 --> 00:44:43,223
in a bathing suit

809
00:44:43,264 --> 00:44:45,350
lying next
to a young officer.

810
00:44:47,977 --> 00:44:50,605
It was my wife Barbara.

811
00:44:50,689 --> 00:44:53,858
They were at the beach.

812
00:44:53,942 --> 00:44:55,110
It seemed to me

813
00:44:55,151 --> 00:44:59,030
that she was being
overly friendly to this man.

814
00:44:59,114 --> 00:45:00,115
But I realize, now,

815
00:45:00,156 --> 00:45:02,784
she's simply
gregarious by nature,

816
00:45:02,867 --> 00:45:05,036
loves laughter
and friendship

817
00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,747
and perhaps even
innocent flirtation,

818
00:45:07,831 --> 00:45:09,999
but at the time
I was convinced

819
00:45:10,041 --> 00:45:11,459
that it was more.

820
00:45:11,501 --> 00:45:14,421
Much more.

821
00:45:14,504 --> 00:45:17,924
And you questioned her
about it?

822
00:45:18,007 --> 00:45:21,094
Relentlessly.

823
00:45:21,136 --> 00:45:22,303
I made her
account to me

824
00:45:22,345 --> 00:45:23,972
for every move
that she made.

825
00:45:24,055 --> 00:45:27,350
I made life
miserable for her.

826
00:45:27,434 --> 00:45:29,644
I even watched her
without her knowing it

827
00:45:29,769 --> 00:45:30,979
on the machine...

828
00:45:31,062 --> 00:45:34,149
Her every gesture
and intonation...

829
00:45:34,190 --> 00:45:37,444
And I would throw it
up to her at night.

830
00:45:37,485 --> 00:45:39,404
I literally drove her
away from me.

831
00:45:39,487 --> 00:45:42,365
Then,
it finally happened.

832
00:45:42,449 --> 00:45:44,576
She was driven
to someone else.

833
00:45:44,659 --> 00:45:47,954
I could see that she was
serious about him,

834
00:45:47,996 --> 00:45:52,041
but I couldn't tell
who he was.

835
00:45:52,125 --> 00:45:53,293
I would sit in front
of the machine

836
00:45:53,334 --> 00:45:55,628
and tune in her image.

837
00:45:55,712 --> 00:45:57,130
I could see her
clear as crystal,

838
00:45:57,213 --> 00:45:59,632
but no matter what
I did,

839
00:45:59,674 --> 00:46:02,427
I couldn't
pick up his image.

840
00:46:02,510 --> 00:46:04,179
He was the one person
on the center

841
00:46:04,220 --> 00:46:06,681
whose image I couldn't
pick up on O.B.I.T.

842
00:46:06,723 --> 00:46:09,309
And you never found out
who this person was?

843
00:46:09,350 --> 00:46:10,685
I found out.

844
00:46:10,727 --> 00:46:12,562
How?

845
00:46:12,645 --> 00:46:14,397
Well, I discovered
who the one person was

846
00:46:14,481 --> 00:46:15,607
on the center
who never appeared

847
00:46:15,648 --> 00:46:16,649
on the screen.

848
00:46:16,733 --> 00:46:18,568
And I found out why.

849
00:46:18,651 --> 00:46:20,403
He had seen to it
that his wavelength was

850
00:46:20,445 --> 00:46:23,656
outside the operating
limits of O.B.I.T.

851
00:46:23,740 --> 00:46:26,493
So, it was impossible
for you to bring in

852
00:46:26,534 --> 00:46:27,619
this person's signal?

853
00:46:27,702 --> 00:46:30,955
I finally did,
accidentally,

854
00:46:30,997 --> 00:46:33,583
by violating the machine's
operating instructions.

855
00:46:33,666 --> 00:46:36,753
The O.B.I.T. Machine was
manned 24 hours a day

856
00:46:36,878 --> 00:46:39,380
by security officers.

857
00:46:39,464 --> 00:46:40,757
How were
you able to use it

858
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,467
to follow
your wife's activities?

859
00:46:42,509 --> 00:46:44,260
I swore captain Harrison
to secrecy

860
00:46:44,344 --> 00:46:46,304
and then I told him
that I have been given

861
00:46:46,346 --> 00:46:48,431
special instructions
to keep certain individuals

862
00:46:48,515 --> 00:46:49,766
under my personal
surveillance.

863
00:46:49,891 --> 00:46:51,768
In other words,
you lied to him?

864
00:46:51,851 --> 00:46:53,353
I lied to him.

865
00:46:55,313 --> 00:46:56,773
Do you have
any idea how

866
00:46:56,815 --> 00:47:00,401
or why captain Harrison
was murdered?

867
00:47:00,485 --> 00:47:02,403
He saw something
on the machine

868
00:47:02,487 --> 00:47:04,447
he was not
supposed to see.

869
00:47:04,489 --> 00:47:06,074
And what was that?

870
00:47:08,076 --> 00:47:09,744
What I saw.

871
00:47:34,352 --> 00:47:36,271
Mr. Lomax...

872
00:47:36,312 --> 00:47:39,065
The machines
are everywhere!

873
00:47:40,984 --> 00:47:44,612
Oh, you'll find them all.
You're a zealous people!

874
00:47:44,654 --> 00:47:48,408
And you'll make a great show
of smashing a few of them,

875
00:47:48,491 --> 00:47:49,868
but for every one
you destroy,

876
00:47:49,951 --> 00:47:51,202
hundreds of others
will be built.

877
00:47:51,244 --> 00:47:54,831
And they'll demoralize you,
break your spirits,

878
00:47:54,873 --> 00:47:57,375
create such rips
and tensions

879
00:47:57,458 --> 00:47:58,418
in your society

880
00:47:58,501 --> 00:48:00,420
that no one will
be able to repair them!

881
00:48:00,503 --> 00:48:03,339
Oh, you're a savage...

882
00:48:03,381 --> 00:48:05,967
Despairing planet.

883
00:48:06,009 --> 00:48:10,179
And when we come
here to live,

884
00:48:10,221 --> 00:48:14,851
you friendless,
demoralized flotsam

885
00:48:14,934 --> 00:48:18,271
will fall without even
a single shot being fired.

886
00:48:18,313 --> 00:48:21,482
Senator, enjoy
the few years left you.

887
00:48:21,566 --> 00:48:23,484
There is no answer.

888
00:48:28,156 --> 00:48:29,991
You're all the same.

889
00:48:30,033 --> 00:48:32,994
Dark, persuasive.
You demand...

890
00:48:33,077 --> 00:48:35,330
Insist on knowing
every private thought

891
00:48:35,413 --> 00:48:37,415
and hunger of everyone.

892
00:48:37,457 --> 00:48:39,042
Your family's,
your neighbor's,

893
00:48:39,083 --> 00:48:42,837
everyone,
but yourselves.

894
00:49:46,442 --> 00:49:48,236
Agents
of the justice department

895
00:49:48,319 --> 00:49:50,655
are rounding up
the machines now,

896
00:49:50,697 --> 00:49:52,448
but these machines,

897
00:49:52,490 --> 00:49:54,409
these inventions
of another planet

898
00:49:54,492 --> 00:49:56,536
have been
cunningly conceived

899
00:49:56,619 --> 00:49:59,497
to play on our
most mortal weakness.

900
00:49:59,539 --> 00:50:02,333
In the last analysis,
dear friends,

901
00:50:02,417 --> 00:50:05,961
whether O.B.I.T. lives up
to its name or not

902
00:50:05,962 --> 00:50:08,506
will depend on you.

903
00:50:10,091 --> 00:50:12,677
We now return control
of your television set

904
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:15,680
