Original subtitles

Not much of a hideout.

But still a charming place to spend the night.

They'll never know what hit them.

Even though I like it when they do.

Showtime.

Hey, I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry. This ain't my car. These aren't my clothes. I

met this guy and he gave me all this stuff.

Where to, kid?

You can have it if you want. You told me.

There is nothing wrong with your television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can dilute you with a

channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, We will control all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and mystery

which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the outer limits.

Sometimes, to uncover that which is hidden, we must first be made to look.

Hey, hey, we're getting a little worried about you, dude. I wouldn't miss this.

We've got a show to do.

Donald, where the hell have you been? I had to give a couple ardent fans a slip.

That's comforting.

Well, I'm here.

Did everybody make it?

Yes, barely.

That's good.

Boys, lock it up real tight today. I don't want anybody in or out of the

Got that?

Everybody, focus. This is the big one.

Sandra, you're losing your edge. I've been here a minute already and you

asked me for the script.

I don't care. I'm behind the camera, remember?

Get this on the teleprompter ASAP.

Listen, Donald, it's not too late to rerun your expose on the Hartford River

Nuclear Facility, you know? You just say the word.

There's a reason people don't do live TV anymore.

Yeah, well, we used to do a lot of it, remember?

Yeah, for cable access in Des Moines.

Life was simpler then.

You think the job's still open?

Sandra, we're going to make history here.

People need to know this.

And we need them to watch.

They will.

Good shot.

I'm just going to close circuit today.

Before we lock it up. Bring it up then, if you would.

Colin, could you pipe me in to interview A and make that private, please?

You got it.

Close -up would be nice, thank you.

Hello?

My friend, are you there?

Can you hear me?

Yes, Donald.

Good. How are you feeling?

Fine.

Not bad, huh?

I don't feel safe here, Donald.

improvement. Remember last time we spoke, you didn't feel safe anywhere.

The fact that this place isn't any worse than any other isn't very comforting.

There has to be another way.

Well, your brother tried it another way, remember? And that's what got him into

that mess.

You're just going to have to try to trust me.

You do trust me, don't you?

Yes.

Good. Well...

We're going to go live in about five minutes, so try to relax and remember

you're here for.

I remember.

Okay.

Yep, this is all I want you to do.

It's a big one today.

That's right.

We just got the script down on the set.

You got it.

I'll be giving you the breakthroughs directly.

No problem.

I'll need double checks on all the gearing cameras, two and three as well.

No problem. I want them prepped and ready to roll at a moment's notice.

No problem.

The network guy just called. He's got a transmitter on standby for you.

But he's not too happy about it. Well, neither am I.

So, where are we at?

Well, the crew's set to go.

Billy's ready to take the floor, but he can't find his headset.

And he won't find it.

I'll be taking the floor tonight.

Is that wrong with that?

No. I mean, Sandra, all this security and stuff.

I thought it was a standard promo hype.

This is for real, huh?

Wish it weren't.

Well, you know, I came here to be a TV reporter.

I guess I can do a little James Bond on the side.

Yeah.

This is a big one. Let's make it happen.

In five, four, three...

This is The Whole Truth.

Tonight on a special edition of The Whole Truth, DNA, genetic engineering,

cloning. The daily advances in biotechnology are almost overwhelming.

But what does it really mean for our lives?

And where will it ultimately lead us?

Good evening, I'm Donald Rivers, and what you're going to see tonight will

you, maybe even terrify you.

You might be tempted to turn away or change the channel, hoping or praying

none of this is true.

It will be my job, my responsibility, to make you listen, to make you believe.

How many times have our own elected officials deceived us, used us?

Alabama, 1932. The U .S. government denies penicillin to black men infected

syphilis so that researchers can observe the disease run its course.

The Tuskegee experiment continues for the next 40 years as scientists watch

their subjects' bones, heart, and nerve tissue slowly disintegrate and do

nothing to stop it.

1946.

As part of the Manhattan Project, the government secretly injects 12 patients

Rochester, New York, with uranium and plutonium to test the effects of

exposure on human beings.

Fifty years later, the Department of Energy releases files detailing similar

experiments on nearly 20 ,000 other people, including prisoners, mentally

disabled children, and pregnant women.

1953.

The CIA initiates MKUltra, a series of experiments in advanced mind control

techniques, including electroshock therapy and psychoactive drugs on a wide

variety of often unsuspecting subjects.

The project is spread out across a vast network of governmental and private

institutions and continues in secret for nearly 20 years.

Time and again, our government has openly confirmed our worst, most

fears. And if that's what they're willing to admit, then what have they

to conceal?

Tonight, The Whole Truth will expose a secret government program dispersed

through numerous public agencies and private corporations, all with the same

goal, to slowly and invisibly manipulate the course of human genetic

development, and by extension, the future of every man, woman, and child in

country.

Since the people responsible will do everything in their considerable power

suppress this information, we are broadcasting tonight's show live.

Everyone here has volunteered to be here, and I'd like to thank both my

colleagues and the network for their courage in letting me go on the air with

this.

Our story begins over 30 years ago with an extraordinary U .S. Army medical

experiment on immortality.

In a series of brutal tests...

Dr. Terrence Sinclair made extensive studies on the blood of a remarkably

woman, identified only as Jade, who appeared to be immune to the aging

While Sinclair's attempts to extend human lifespans did achieve some

the intervention of an unidentified soldier brought his experiment to an

halt, as we see in this dramatic reenactment.

June 20, 1600 hours. This is Dr.

Terrence Sinclair. I'm about to introduce the second test series into

subject's bloodstream to measure toxicity response.

Then why don't we... Please, no.

You can't. That would affect the test results.

Hold it still.

I'm looking at a court -martial just coming in here. What the hell is he

to you? Please help me before he comes back.

I think I can walk.

What will they do to you?

Let's just get you out of here.

Put her down.

I can't let you hurt this girl any more, sir. That was an order. I'll repeat it.

Put her down.

Look, Corporal, I don't think you're going to... I know, but you can't treat

person like... She's not a person. She's not... I'm a scientist.

I know how this must look.

The work we are doing here is very important.

It could mean a great deal to the rest of us.

Look, soldier, just put her back on the table and get out.

Please don't.

We're leaving.

Now?

Caped logs obtained by the whole truth reveal the astonishing detail.

August 11, 2100 hours.

The subject shows remarkable resiliency to both extreme heat and extreme cold.

Tissue regeneration is at least 700 % of normal.

She's the fountain of youth.

The laboratory and virtually all evidence of the project were destroyed.

No bodies were ever recovered.

But was it simply an isolated incident or the first piece of a much larger

puzzle?

When we return, we'll meet the person responsible for bringing this evidence

a great deal more to light.

Coming up next, the man who's made a picture from those pieces.

When our chosen leaders turn against us, Where do we turn?

To the police?

To our laws?

To a gun under the pillow?

Or to the courage of a single man armed only with the truth?

The source for much of what you will see tonight is just such a man. He's a

molecular biologist, formerly with the Department of Defense, and for obvious

reasons we have taken every precaution to keep his identity and location

We appreciate you being here with us tonight, sir.

Thank you.

Now... You claim you've pieced together evidence of a long -range government

project to change the course of human genetic development. Yes, that's

And this project was created by Dr. Sinclair?

Not exactly.

Sinclair's longevity experiments were just a starting point.

But several of the current research initiatives did build on his work.

And what's wrong with an attempt to extend human lifespans?

Nothing. The government never intended that research, that technology, to reach

the public.

Why?

They were developing a process to alter humans at a cellular level.

It began as a way to reverse necrosis in human tissue.

Now, you mean a way to reanimate the dead.

Right. But it was more than that.

Their process involved rebuilding the neural pathways of a subject's brain in

such a way that they could control the subject.

That's what they were really trying to do. All right, joining us via satellite

is Dr. Richard Morgan. He's vice president of research and development at

Ferriton Laboratories, one of the companies in question.

Dr. Morgan, how do you respond to these allegations?

Well, in a nutshell, the allegations are absurd.

The Ferenton Corporation has a distinguished record of public service

most scrupulous research protocols in the industry. But it is true that over

% of your R &D is devoted to defense projects.

We're a defense contractor.

The benefits from your research are being kept exclusively for the

agencies that support you.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Is it? We have a video which was distributed to Ferenton's board of

containing a progress report of your reanimation project.

What? Doctor, please, just watch your monitor.

Through the use of the scanning molecular reorganizer,

or SMR, necrosis reversal is accomplished in a four -step process.

SMR module beginning orientation.

Secondary systems online.

Step one, photolytic regeneration.

The SMR high energy laser array repairs and restores all

nerve, tissue, and organ functions.

Step two, neural reorganization. The SMR reestablishes all cortical and higher

brain function.

Synaptic repatterning is possible with an optional module.

Step three,

fluid replacement.

All preservatives and fluids are flushed and perfused.

as the body temperature is restored to normal.

Step 4.

Reactivation. The subject's nervous system is re -energized by a series of

-frequency electrical impulses, thus completing the process.

Doctor, would you care to comment on what you just saw?

That material is completely out of context.

Clearly, it's been used, and... So, you're admitting that it is authentic?

Well, this research was exploratory, and the project was only for proof of

principle, and it was never intended to be used as a working project, and if, in

fact, it's been taken out of the lab, I... Doctor, we're losing your signal

here. If you would bear with us for just a moment, we're experiencing some

technical difficulties.

Please stand by.

They're trying to take us off the air.

We are apparently having trouble with one of the network's satellite

transponders. We're not sure if the interference is accidental or

but in any case, we are prepared for this contingency. We have several backup

transmitter relays set up across the country. They can be switched over to

sure we stay...

On the air. This will be just another moment. Donald, they're coming. I know

they are.

I have to get out of here.

No, not yet.

You were saying that many of these government -funded breakthroughs were

deliberately suppressed.

Yes.

There's another example.

The Dayton C compound created at Metadyne Pharmaceuticals.

This one was a cellular regenerative agent, a way to accelerate the self

mechanisms in human cells.

It was basically a broad -spectrum cure, a genuine wonder drug. But it never

reached the public.

There's a good reason for that.

Which we will see in this dramatic reenactment based on Metadyne security

transcripts.

to the man behind the curtain.

Very clever call.

Fading the containment business by transporting it into your own body. The

has a right to know, Michael.

The virus coursing through your veins is the property of Metadyne

Pharmaceuticals. Computer, unlock the door. Security code McKendrick 5 -7 -7

That code has been terminated. Please restate authorized security code.

McKendrick, damn it. 5 -7 -7 -5.

I meant to tell you, Carl.

You're fired.

That code has been turned off.

So you can suppress the retrovirus?

Suppress it?

No. Restrict it?

Absolutely.

Only the people who I want to have will get it.

What are you going to do to me, Michael, huh?

Kill me?

All living tissue.

will be fatalized. All living tissue. That includes you. Eight.

Seven.

Lock the door!

Lock the door!

When

we return, the

pattern behind it all, how these apparently different research

actually connected.

Longevity studies, neural programming, cellular regeneration. Now, at first

glance, these would all seem to be separate and distinct areas of research,

according to you, sir, they are not.

No, they're not. You see, all of those procedures are based on physical

alteration of human genetic material.

So the key is transformation.

Yes, changing one thing, one human thing, into another.

And the reason for that... Just a moment, please. We're getting word that

is a...

Another broadcast going out over several of the major news networks right now.

It's being picked up, and can we bring that up?

Okay. Here we go. And I reiterate that Affiliated Technologies is simply the

network's parent corporation. We are not involved in day -to -day programming.

However, we are appalled that they would allow this kind of sensationalism on

the air.

Is this just a publicity stunt?

Come on, guys.

The name of his show notwithstanding, Donald Rivers is obviously only

in one thing, And that's ratings.

Just one more, please.

Frank? Can you tell us anything about his source?

We have it on excellent authority that his so -called source is nothing more

than a mentally ill individual who is being used in the worst possible way.

This is the kind of thing that really inflames the public. It can make some

people do crazy things.

That's all we have for now. Thank you.

You might have to wing this, okay?

My producer has just informed me that a number of our affiliates are having

problems receiving our network feed, and we're learning that several stations

have been ordered by their corporate owners to drop this broadcast entirely.

I can only urge our affiliates to please stay the course, keep us on the air. We

are depending on you to let the truth come out.

You know, over the years, I've done over a hundred reports.

An expose I've developed. I like to think the instinct to know when

right and when something's wrong. And time and again, you people have placed

your trust in me. I like to think that trust has been rewarded.

And what I'm showing you tonight is the truth. I'm asking you to trust in me one

more time. There will always be people who will try to hide the truth. They

try to poison it, murder it. And tonight we're not going to give them that

chance. Isn't that right?

I'm honored to introduce my source, Dr. Avery Strong. Welcome, Doctor.

This is the man your government is trying to discredit, but they're not

succeed because we know exactly how they're planning to do it, how they're

planning to drag his name through the mud. We're going to face their

head on and preempt them.

If you're ready.

Yes. Good.

Please.

What you're about to see is hidden camera footage taken two years ago

Pentagon. Watch.

Mr. Randall Strong.

Welcome. Mr.

Chairman, thank you.

I'm grateful that the committee has granted me a hearing.

Mr. Chairman, in the past several years, I have been conducting research.

I've come to the inescapable conclusion that the United States...

quite possibly the entire world, is being overrun by aliens.

I believe this may be the greatest threat we've ever faced as a nation.

We have to act.

And we have to act now, before it's too late. You're paranoid.

No, sir.

Understandably distressed. I see a threat for what it is. You see delusion.

beg your pardon, sir.

This hearing is over.

Goodbye.

Dr. Strong, what does this have to do with you?

The man in the tape, the one who shot the chairman, he was my brother Randall.

He was institutionalized after testifying to that committee.

He hasn't spoken a single word since.

And we've obtained Army medical records indicating that your brother was an

unstable individual, that he's suffering from paranoid delusions.

And post -traumatic stress disorder.

Randall had his problems. It was no secret.

And there are similar files on you. You know that. They're fabrications.

They're trying to make me out to be some kind of lunatic.

So the people think everything I'm telling you is just some... Some twisted

attempt at revenge by an unstable man who blames the government for the loss

his brother.

All right, if not revenge, then what is your motive for coming forward?

Because of what I saw.

I was part of the military research team.

A project to transform humans into alien life forms.

And when you say alien, you mean extraterrestrial.

Yes. It was purely theoretical at first.

Everybody treated it kind of like a joke.

But then it stopped being funny.

Well, we have some security camera footage from the Department of Defense

You should watch this.

We were given a sample of alien DNA.

And we implanted the genetic material in a volunteer.

At least I think he was a volunteer.

He started to change in small ways at first.

Then it accelerated.

He was in a lot of pain.

I didn't kill anyone!

Do you hear me?

You can't touch my soul!

God, no!

He nearly died.

More than one.

Is that clear?

After a while, it was hard even to look him in the eye.

Sergeant, I'm Dr. Strong. I'm here to test your... Sensory acuity.

Your hearing.

That's incredible.

Why didn't you tell us about it before?

Never show your advantage to the enemy.

We're not... I'm not your enemy.

There is a reason behind it.

There has to be.

We've all got jobs to do.

And what is yours?

They never told us why we were doing it or what for.

And then they told us to forget it ever happened.

Yes.

Well, of course.

You couldn't forget that.

I couldn't get the image of that man out of my mind.

I had to know why.

I still had my security clearance, so I started looking around, even in a few

places I probably shouldn't have.

It took a few years to put it all together, but I'm convinced.

that this project was just another step in perfecting physical transformation

techniques on human beings.

The terrifying reason why... Adjustable.

Can

you

put this all together for us, Doctor?

You begin with raw genetic material.

Living or even dead then you regenerate the cells rebuild the tissue accelerate

the cell growth shape it to whatever form you want and Then you reprogram the

neural pathways and you get a replacement for anyone you want Human

clone, but better because you can make it think and act and talk any way you

want it to Go on The government is

attempting to replace powerful individuals using this technique. World

with exact duplicates completely under their control. Perfect for espionage.

Or disinformation, propaganda.

Or simply manipulation of critical people at critical times.

Consider the case of Mason Stark, CEO of the Eigenphase Corporation, the Defense

Department contractor whose very public disagreements with the Pentagon were

recently and unexpectedly settled.

In this exclusive footage, an experiment log recovered from an abandoned

government laboratory, we see Mr. Stark coming face to face with what can only

be clones of himself.

Is the current mr. Stark truly who he seems to be at this point we can't

that question none of our calls to mr. Stark or his representatives were

returned, the whole truth has turned over copies of this footage to the

authorities for further investigation.

Next, we'll examine other possible clone replacements, people who are walking

the corridors of power for even... Are we still in the air?

Picture's still up.

Studio power must be down.

Try the... How can I take me alive, Don? I will not end

up like my brother.

You won't. But we're not finished. Okay, everybody out of here now. Quick. Use

the service tunnel.

Move it. Get the handheld.

Stay with us. Stay with us.

Hurry, Donald. How much cheese left? Use what you got. Come on.

Let's go.

Switch to remote.

Remote. Got it. Move, everyone.

Go. Watch your step out there. Look at me. No, no.

Ladies and gentlemen, we don't know exactly who is trying to interrupt this

broadcast or how long we'll be able to continue. Be careful going through

But we will stay on the air as long as possible. We're not sure of how much

power we've got left.

But stay with us. We'll see how this turns out. We have important information

for you still, and we will be back.

You're watching The Whole Truth.

Forgive us if our production values are not up to standard today, but we are

broadcasting live via remote and unsure at this moment exactly what the

situation is. Back at the studio, as far as we can determine, we are not being

followed right now. Just because we can't see them doesn't mean they're not

there. Well, yes, very true.

We're going to show you hidden camera footage taken at great personal risk by

Dr. Strong.

This will show the government's...

Secret cloning facilities.

Sandra, please.

There were thousands of babies.

Clones. In various stages of development. Everywhere I looked.

Just like livestock.

Raw material.

It was horrible.

We are... en route to that facility at this very moment, and once we're there,

we'll confront the people who run it and find out if, in fact, they truly have

nothing to hide. We'll see. We have to take a break right now. Please stay with

us.

And we're clear.

They're never going to let it end, are they? Well, then let them explain that

a national television audience. Yeah. This isn't an alien autopsy. This is

Please, put that away. That makes people very nervous.

It's designed to do that. And that's the kind of attitude that got your brother

put away.

Randall did what he thought he had to do, and so will I. You already are,

Please. All of us are.

Sorry.

Sorry.

How much further is it to the lab?

Should have been there by now.

We're scheduled to lose network speed in less than 15 minutes. Well, they're not

going to cut away from us in the middle of this.

I'll cut him live when we get to the lab.

I still owe the affiliates one more commercial. I'll have them run all the

Hey, what's going on up there?

Donald, we've lost our satellite up, Link. Well, how do we get it back?

I don't know.

The board looks fine.

Definitely. You know, I don't think the problem came from the end.

There's something very wrong here.

Wait, wait, we're back. We're back.

Okay, let's go.

As promised, we are still reporting.

No, wait.

This isn't our signal.

What?

Ladies and gentlemen, something terrible has happened here.

Avery Strong lied to me, lied to all of us, and everything he said,

everything he showed us has turned out to be a fabrication, a hoax.

Did you go to tape? No.

I never recorded any of this stuff.

Just a very sick mind.

It's all in his suicide note.

Avery Strong is dead and killed himself.

It all happened so fast.

He went absolutely crazy. He just started shooting.

this tragedy.

I have notified the authorities they should be here shortly.

And to you, the audience, I can only apologize for being gullible.

I should have known better.

I'm a professional and...

Who's this?

Who are you?

Nakawa, my brother.

We were telling the truth.

No hard feelings.

There's plenty more where he came from.

Oh, you're one hell of a reporter, Donald. This would have been the story

lifetime.

Doesn't matter what you do to us now. The people have seen it. They saw

everything. Oh, but they didn't see enough.

And by tomorrow, they'll already be starting to forget.

Because... As important as you are and as influential as your program is, in

end, it's just a TV show.

And you've been replaced.

We rely upon others to inform us, but wisdom can never be taught, and we must

always decide the truth for ourselves.

There's more from The Outer Limits tomorrow at 8.
