Now for a foreign news
summary in English.

Four suspects were arrested
today by the Athens police

but there is no confirmation
yet that the arrests were made

in connection to the scalpel murders.

The third victim of this terrifying series

of surgical slayings was
discovered last night.

The Greek prime minister announced...

♪ and in the middle of the night ♪

♪ I know she'll make me feel alright ♪

♪ And in the middle of desire ♪

♪ You know she makes my heart a fire ♪

♪ She takes the sun ♪

I'm applying for this job, Mr.
McKinnon, because a,

I believe I'm fully qualified and b,

because I don't wanna go back
to the states right away.

You see, sir, working in the
middle east for five years

was sort of a divorce from
reality and civilization for me.

To find myself plugged into the
Madison Avenue scene might

upset my balance.

This is what I really need,
a decompression chamber

where one half of the brain
thinks western while

the other half can think in
terms of five centuries ago.

On the other hand, I'm an
excellent account executive,

but I know a lot about copy.

I speak English, French, Italian,
I work hard for my money.

Anything else you need
to know is in my resume.

Just exactly, the camera
goes all the way there, okay?

Spread out.

James?

Now, on business matters,
I'm proud to inform you

that I managed to get
everything ready on time,

and in return, you promise not to ask

how much we're spending.

Do you absolutely, definitely,
honestly swear not to ask?

Yeah.

Good, I'll start the shooting now.

Alright, you guys, let's
get the show on the road!

Action!

No.

It can't be.

Not Mary Anne.

Not my Mary Anne.

I personally like
the new four-color brochures,

but the client thinks different.

He said though that he'll
be happy with them

if you're happy.

What do you think?

Well, I don't know, Olympic
holidays is bringin'

100,000 people into this
country every summer.

You can do better than this.

That's it for today.

It has to grab you.

Mr. Ratcliff, this is for you.

Great, thank you.

Did you arrange payment
for the girls, Claire?

Claire?

Claire!

No, I didn't.

It's the sixth day of the bank strike.

It's also the eighth
day of the bus strike.

Second week of the taxi strike.

Third month of gas rationing.

32nd year of my life on
this planet, so what?

So, happy birthday!

Do you want me to sing?

Buy me a Cartier watch instead.

Do you wanna come over
tonight and celebrate?

- Who else is invited?
- Just you.

I don't know, Claire.

You probably just want me for my body.

I don't know, Jonathon,
you're probably right!

- In that case, I'll come.
- Good.

Be there at nine.

Not tonight, Harry, I've got a headache.

I promise you,
we'll always be together.

I love you, Jonathon.

I love you, Mary Anne.

No!

Mary Anne!

No!

Help me, Jonathon, help!

You get your
hands off her, let me go!

Help me, Jonathon, help!

No, Mary Anne, marry Anne!

It's not your fault, son.

They were four, they were older, stronger.

I wanna see her.

I won't let you, Jon.

In a few months.

A few years, maybe.

When it's safe for her to see you again.

- What...
- Shh.

Don't move.

I think someone's watching us.

Oh, god.

You're gonna be alright.

It's me, Claire.

What's...

What's...

Shh.

Take it easy.

You're in a hospital.

You took a real bad fall and they, uh,

they found you unconscious,
but you're gonna be okay.

You're gonna be okay.

Are you sure, absolutely nothing?

No.

Everything's black.

- Just black.
- Alright, let's try again.

I've been away from the office
for an entire week, Claire.

Screw the office.

While you're at it,

why don't you include the
tests and the doctors?

I know you feel horrible about this.

Confused is more like it.

They're confused, too.

They have absolutely no
idea why you're blind.

- They act like you're...
- Claire.

This bed is killing me, I wanna go home.

Tomorrow, they said.

No more tests?

That's what they said, I
don't trust them, they...

We'll give this a few days,

and then I'm taking you back home.

I'd feel safer in New York.

Look, ma, no eyes.

You're doing fine, in a couple of days,

you'll be cruising around
here just like you used to.

Easy for you to say.

You'll be alright.

Sure.

I'll be dandy.

She never got over it, her
family committed her,

I never even saw her again.

Until a couple of days ago.

At least, I think it's her.

I can't tell.

You know what the hardest part was?

I couldn't help her.

I just couldn't.

I'm not giving you up, Jon.

I don't want you to.

But this is something that
I just, I have to do.

For me.

You, you're mad, aren't you?

No.

I'm hurt.

And I'm scared and I'm too god
damn stupid to cover it up.

You know somethin', it's
pretty damn dark in here.

I'm not gonna take it.

Mm-hm.

You know what I'm gonna do today?

I'm gonna go out.

If thousands of other blind
people can do it, I can do it.

Oh, one!

A two!

A three!

A four!

Hello?

Hello.

Where are you?

- Over there?
- No, over here.

No, here!

Here.

Look, I don't want any trouble,
just show me back to the...

Sure!

But it'll cost you.

Show us some money and we
might show you the way home!

Hey, don't point that
fucking stick at me, man.

Silly boy.

Or I might just bust your head in!

Now what you made him do.

You've annoyed him!

Oh, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely!

A blind man
shouldn't have so much money.

Alright, I'm gonna tell
you where the exit is,

so you can get out of here
and give the police a good

description of the arseholes who
kicked the shit out of you.

The exit is this way.

Come on, come on, let's go!

If you'd like to give us any
more, you can find us here

any night between the
hours of 11 and 12, okay?

Goodbye!

Goodbye!

Excuse me, is there a doctor in the house?

You're not going out alone again.

- Says who?
- Says me.

That little stunt you pulled
last night was suicide.

I'm not gonna let you kill yourself.

Even if your condition is permanent,

blind is better than dead, for Christ sake.

That's a matter of opinion.

What happened last night, Jon?

I told you.

I fell down.

I want the truth.

Come on, Jon.

Talk to me.

You talk to your god damn plants,
why can't you talk to me?

Plants don't talk back.

Hi, Jon, it's
Brian from the office.

I just called to say that the
us embassy has no record of

Rachel Boyet or Mary Anne Perry.

If you can, give me some
details, I could try them again.

Call me when you feel like it, eh?

Bye.

- Thanks.
- You're welcome.

For what?

For coming with me.

Hey, why didn't you bring a drink for me?

I only have two hands.

- You want a sip?
- Yeah, I do.

Here's your coffee.

Thanks for the ride, pal.

Cut the crap.

Heavy slang for a proper Brit.

What did you come up with?

Well, it seems Barnard and the others

run a pretty tight outfit.

The Hedra society is definitely a temple

for high-tech devotees.

And Steiger?

Two-time Nobel prize winner.

Top-notch brain surgeon and a good husband.

Meaning?

Meaning I pulled a few
social strings here and there

and got through to his wife, Stephanie.

And?

Steiger will see you on Sunday.

I checked your medical
tests from the hospital,

worked up by highly qualified physicians.

Everything's negative.

You should not be blind.

Your optic nerve doesn't
appear to be damaged.

The sheathing's intact.

Everything appears to be
functional, and should be.

Except for the possibility of
blindness induced by trauma.

So, if there's no clinical case,

there's no cure, right?

Well, that depends.

If, for example, I were
dealing with someone who was

recently blinded and whose
optic nerve were irreversibly

damaged, I might just
possibly be able to help him.

Alright, this demonstration
will give you an idea

of the principals involved.

Some 20 years ago, a young
amateur in the United States

found a way for deaf people to hear music.

What he did, using electrodes,
he connected some secondary

auditory nerves of a deaf
subject to a sound source.

Now, the music we're about
to play will not be audible,

but will come directly from that tape deck

to the electrodes on your arm.

Uh, Andrew, would you mind?

You're not hearing things, the
music you just experienced

was transmitted directly
through your nervous system

to the auditory center of your brain.

In other words, we bypassed your ears.

Well, this basic concept.

I've devised a method to do
the same thing with sight,

and this is what I've come up with.

A tape recorder?

Not quite.

This little unit, which for
obvious reasons is concealed

in a plain commercial case,
is a mass of printed circuits

and computer electronics.

What does it do?

Well, put simply, it
combines a sonar device

with a visual synthesizer.

That's not quite simple enough.

Alright, it's like the
sonar used in submarines

or even some self-focusing cameras.

An electronic signal is
sent out from a source.

Now, as soon as it hits an object,

it bounces back to the source again.

This little unit does
essentially the same thing.

It sends out a constant inaudible signal.

Now, when that signal hits
any objects near around you,

it bounces off them and
returns to the unit again.

And that signal is then fed
into a computer chip which

measures the size and the
distance of those objects.

That information is then
transmitted directly

to the visual synthesizer
which processes it instantly.

And it relays the image
directly to the sight center

of your brain, it's more or
less like looking through

the eyes of a computer.

Unbelievable.

We have a problem, however.

It's never been tested on a human subject.

I'd like to try.

I want you to be very sure,

because once I perform the operation,

it will destroy any chance whatsoever

of you ever regaining your eyesight again.

Can you make this decision?

I'll use the laser to cut
an 0.3 millimeter hole

in the skull.

I will then implant the
positive electrode plate.

Um, are we ready?

Ready, doctor.

I wanna emphasize again,
Jon, that compuvision

is still only in its experimental stage.

There's no way that we can imply

that it even replaces normal sight.

First I'll teach you how
to use the main unit,

which is actually three units in one.

The forward button activates the unit.

It takes a couple of seconds
for the initial feed

of information, then the
computer takes over.

The rewind button activates
a cassette inside the unit.

All signals you receive can
be recorded and played back.

In other words, you'll be
able to keep a visual record

of what you see and re-examine
it at a later time.

Finally, the volume control,
which activates an advanced

and very powerful sound amplifier.

Now, the positive contact
between this unit,

your nervous system and your brain,

is made via the minute
platinum-electrode plate

which we implanted in your skull.

Now, I'm gonna turn the
unit to its ready position,

and I want you to let me know how you feel.

Good.

Now, as I turn the unit to its on position,

you'll begin to see outlines
forming a computerized grid

giving you the exact layout of this room.

Your journey begins, Jon Ratcliff.

Good luck.

I trust that you now have a
complete view of the room.

Ah.

I forgot to mention something.

One of the limitations of this first model

is its sensitivity to fast head movement.

The headset, which sends out sonar signals,

takes the place of your eyes.

Now, turn slowly and give the unit time

to adjust to the field of vision.

And be careful around windows.

The sonar will not penetrate glass,

no matter how transparent.

Remember, a window is still a
solid surface to the sonar.

There's one more limitation.

You won't be able to see precise details.

Generally, you'll see people and things

in outline form only.

Um...

Of course, you won't be
able to read, either.

But if you get close enough,
you'll be able to see faces,

or anything else that's three-dimensional.

That's good enough for me, doctor.

You must also remember that
prolonged use of the unit

is not recommended.

We're dealing here with
an electrical stimulation

of the brain which could
prove damaging if overdone.

I would suggest an initial
trial period of no more than

two hours and then, only in
15 minute blocks of time.

Otherwise, you could experience
synapse dysfunction.

Meaning?

Petit mal seizures,
blackouts, even collapse.

See what tolerance you
develop, we'll play it by ear.

Varies from brain to brain.

You're the boss.

I don't think so.

Hello.

So, why didn't you tell me?

I wasn't sure how you'd react.

I wouldn't have said anything.

There are times when I think
you are the ideal companion.

How about when you're sober?

My condition doesn't matter.

I've always known when you were faking it.

Like right now?

What're you talking about?

You're worried.

Hey.

I can't see your face
well enough to prove it.

But I know you're trying
to hide your concern.

Don't fret, Claire, I know
what I'm doing, believe me.

Eat, your fish is getting cold.

Okay, let's see.

The computer unit feeds electronic signals

to my brain, right?

Right.

The game feeds electronic signals

to the TV screens also, right?

So, if I'm correct, I should
be able to feed the game

directly into my clever little brain.

Well, what a night that was.

Ta-da!

Not bad for the money, eh?

What do you think?

It's great.

Bye.

Hi, Lisa.

Yeah.

Terrible.

Listen, I can't go tonight.

I'm gonna take a sleeping
pill and go right to bed.

Just really hard.

The usual.

Started on me right away.

Yeah.

Listen, can I tell you about it tomorrow?

It's been a really long day.

Mm-hm.

Yeah, you too.

Bye.

Time to say goodnight.

Andoni, will you get out of here?

I, I'll tell your wife, she'll kill you.

Come on then, get out.

Get out.

Don't come back again.

Hello?

Jon?

- Yeah.
- It's me, where've you been?

I've been calling all night,
didn't you get my messages?

I just walked in, sorry.

Where were you?

Out.

On business.

What were you doing?

I paid some bills that were due.

I even opened a new account.

I just don't see what good it would do

to go to the police, I don't
have anything to tell them.

You've got the tape.

Which I can only play back up here.

Maybe you can get some
detail from the tape.

Maybe give the cops a lead.

Have you ever dealt
with the local police?

Come on, Jon.

If that tape can help
stop this maniac, use it.

What you know may save somebody's life.

Oh, and Jon, if you do find
anything, don't play detective.

Let the police handle it.

Come on!

Right there, right there.

That's the
hotel, that's the hotel.

That's the hotel, that's hotel.

Well, I'll be damned.

This tape is for Dr. steiger,

in case I can't tell him myself.

This is only a precaution,
doctor, because I don't know

how far I can go experimenting
with this unit.

And by the way, I think
it's a fantastic machine.

Alright, down to business.

The other night, I was
walking on the streets and

I heard someone scream inside a building.

There had been a murder.

I just replayed my compuvision tape.

I think that the killer was
driving a car with a bad engine.

It made a distinct sound, real noisy.

That's not much in itself,
except I'm positive I've heard,

maybe even seen that car
before, the problem is,

I can't remember where or when.

It must be buried in my
subconscious or something.

Anyway, the point is, I
overdosed the other day when I

connected my computvision unit directly

into a video game machine.

I went into some kind of seizure.

Collapsed for quite a few hours.

When I started coming to, I
had a strange experience.

Something I had forgotten about years ago.

I saw myself at four years old,

on a day I fell and twisted my ankle.

What if the video game acted
as some kind of trigger

on subconscious memories?

What if the overdose brought
them back to my conscious mind?

I don't know how dangerous this
thing can be, doctor steiger

but I'm going to try.

Somebody's life could depend on me

remembering where I heard that car.

This recorder is
voice-activated, doctor steiger,

so it'll record every sound I make.

If I do make any more sounds after this.

I'm not here right now, I'll
probably be out all day.

At the sound of the insufferable
beep, please leave your

name and number, I'll get
back to you as soon as I can.

Hello, darling.

I just called to remind you that I'm going

to that cocktail party for a while.

Oh, I don't want to, but I have to.

So, when I get to your place,
I expect to find you in bed,

ready and very willing.

It worked, Dr. steiger.

I saw the car, a taxi cab and the killer.

Not his face, but I saw
him with surgical gloves.

He even had...

Jesus.

Rachel.

Come on.

Come on!

Dave.

You scared me.

Be careful, you'll choke me.

How was your day at the hospital?

Terrible, how about yours?

Okay, I made my thousand bucks.

Anything exciting on your end?
No, I didn't operate today.

Had meetings all day long with
administration, real drag.

Well, you
can forget the hospital now.

Take your clothes off and join me.

I'll put your suit in the dressing room.

Yeah, in a minute.

Stop!

Stop here!

What happened?

What does it look like?

It must be a fuse.

I'll go check.

How? It's pitch-black.

I've got some matches in my clothes.

Dave?

Yeah?

Want me to come with you?

No, stay in the water!

Are you the smart-ass
who killed the lights?

You think it's some kind
of joke or something?

Who's that, David?

Who are you talking to?

Some prick's playin' games.

Games?

You mean like putting on surgical gloves

and cutting people up?

You mean those kinds of games?

I'm coming out, David!

Don't move, Rachel,
you're safe over there.

- Who is that?
- It doesn't matter.

Just stay where you are.

This maniac has a scalpel in his hand.

He was gonna use that on you.
He's lying, Rachel.

Am I?

Listen to me, Rachel.

Good ol' Dr. David isn't a doctor.

Maybe he had some fantasy about
being one when he was a kid,

but it never worked out.

Know what David really does, Rachel?

He drives a taxi, not a real taxi.

He just drives it to pick up his victims.

He's sick, Rachel.

He wants to hurt you.

I'm gonna cut you in
half, you son of a bitch.

Well, go ahead, doctor, try.

But you've gotta find me first.

The master switch is next to the entrance.

Go for it.

David!

What the hell's going on?

Feel more comfortable
in the light, Dave?

I thought so.

I thought I'd make it easy for you.

You have to find me, Dave.

I've seen you kill.

I know all about you.

You can come out now, Rachel.

It's all over.

Who are you?

What's going on?

Call the police,
they'll do the rest.

The rest of what?

Who the hell are you?

Just a friend.

Hey.

Hi, gorgeous outline.

Thank god you're okay.

Why are you breathing so hard?

Because I ran all the way!

The problem with you
is you worry too much, hm?

What happened?

The girl is alright.

And you?

I'm okay.

I'll tell you about it.

Now that it's over, I can
tell you all about it.

Can you drive us back?

Hell yes.

Good.

But be careful.

There's a lot of lousy drivers out there.
