What's in the bag, Peter?

What do you mean? I asked you, what's in
the bag?

Eileen, I... Sweetheart, put down the
rifle.

I know, Peter.

You've been hiding things from me.

Eileen, listen to me.

You don't have to do this.

Hide it.

What's going on?

Wayne, you gotta help me.

I need... I know what you've been
hiding.

I know what you've been planning, but
it's over now, Peter.

I don't understand.

I'm afraid I do.

Give me the bag, Peter.

Peter, give me the bag!

It's not here.

Eileen, do you know where it is?

Jack, it's got to be in the house.

Eileen?

Eileen.

There was no other way.

Peter brought this on himself.

He was trying to destroy this community.

Look at me.

Why don't we go in the house and you can
rent?

Albert is back to normal.

Everything is under control again.

Just as you wished.

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 deluge you with
a thousand 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.

and mystery which reaches from the
deepest inner mind to the outer limit.

The outer limits.

Please stand by.

Technology is designed to serve us, to
ease our burdens.

But will our machines become so
sophisticated that it is we who do the

Still no answer?

No. You haven't spoken to Peter in
almost five years.

Maybe you just changed his mind.

No, that's not it.

Listen to him.

Scott, it's Peter. I know it's been a
while, but there's something going on

that... I can't talk right now, but I'm
going to try and get down there and see

you. I need someone I can trust who
can... It's pretty cryptic.

If he was coming, he would have been
here.

I'm going up there right now.

You want me to come?

No, that's all right.

You got things.

Honey, it's me. Hi.

Well, I'm almost there.

And don't look too different to me.

What's that?

I think I'm losing you.

Hey, I'll call you tonight, okay?

Bye.

How you doing?

Good. How are you? Good. So, what brings
you to our little corner of the world?

Didn't get lost, did you?

No, actually, I'm from here. It's just
been a long time.

Really? What brings you back?

Well, I came to see my brother.

Maybe you know him. Peter Bowman.

What can I get for you?

Uh, burger, fries, and whatever you got
on tap. Sorry, but we don't sell alcohol

anymore.

Is that right?

A little while back, everyone just
decided we didn't need that kind of

here.

You're saying the whole town's dry?

Makes Halford a better place to live.

I told you to stay away from me. You
can't take a man, you can't eat him. She

doesn't want you anymore.

Hey, Wayne.

What's going on here?

You haven't heard?

Heard what? He's got into town.

Damn, Scott, I... I hate to have to tell
you like this.

Peter is dead.

What?

How did he... We're taking Eileen in.

What are you saying?

She killed your brother.

Well, when did this happen? A couple of
days ago. A couple of days?

Yeah. God, it wasn't me that did this.
You've got to believe me. Listen, you've

got to get out of Halliburton.

Doc's talking to Skip's friend. Clearly,
she's not a well person.

Listen, I'm sorry about Peter. He was a
good man.

Are you staying at the hotel?

I'll call you. We'll get together. We'll
talk.

You live around here?

Where are you going?

Could you direct me to the morgue?

Just one second.

Scott.

Catherine.

Hi.

I'm so sorry about Peter. It was such a
shock.

Yeah, you know, we hadn't talked. We had
a falling out, and

now... How's Eileen taking it?

You didn't hear? They think she's the
one who did it.

Eileen? Yeah.

Sheriff Harris was arresting her when I
went out to the house. She had her in

handcuffs. It doesn't make any sense.

Oh, no.

What are you going to do?

Well, now I, you know, have to arrange
the funeral, and she's in jail, so I've

got to get her a lawyer. Peter was
buried two days ago.

Why didn't anyone call me?

You two were estranged. I think I should
have had a phone call. But I assume

that's the reason why no one contacted
you. Catherine.

Can I have some help back here, please?

Of course, Dr. Holbrook.

I have to go. I would love to talk to
you. Can we get together tomorrow?

I didn't mean to... It's okay.

Can I get you anything else?

No, that's fine. Thanks for you.

Listen, once again, I'm sorry about what
happened to your brother.

What exactly did happen?

Best we can tell, Eileen went crazy and
shot him.

So why did it take you three days to
arrest her? We had to wait for

to come back.

You know, evidence, so we could make the
arrest.

It seems kind of coincidental that it
happened right when I arrived in town.

I'm not sure I understand what you're
getting at.

Wayne, it's me.

Why don't you just tell me what's really
going on here?

Scott, we were as stunned as you.

I'm not just talking about the murder.

There's just... Paul, everyone's acting
so strangely.

You're not used to life in a small town.

I mean, things are a lot different here
than in the city.

Well, maybe that's it.

So, I guess you'll be heading back home
in the a .m., huh? My head's still

spinning. I may stick around for a few
days.

Listen, I gotta get back to work.

Take care of yourself.

had the funeral.

Yeah.

Not just that. It's the town.

Something.

Joanna? Joe?

Perfect.

It's good to see you again, Patrick.

Why'd you move back?

Oh, well, being a medical technician in
New York wasn't all it cracked up to be.

Between the high cost of living and a
whole chorus line of Mr.

Wrongs, I started missing the comforts
of old Halford.

Does it seem different to you?

In what way?

There's all kinds of weird stuff going
on. People doing strange things.

You mean Eileen?

No, not just Eileen. I can't put my
finger on it.

I think Alfred's always been a step out
of pace with the rest of the world.

Maybe it's been too long since we
experienced life in a small town.

Yeah, that's what Wayne said.

Really?

What are these?

MRIs. Supposed to be sorting them for
Dr. Holbrook.

It's amazing how you can see the inner
workings of the brain, isn't it?

Who are these of?

I don't know. Folks from Halford, I
think.

Well, how does a tiny little medical
center like this afford an MRI machine?

I was told that the Army base donated
it.

Huh.

Why? Oh, nothing.

Thanks for your help.

Oh, no problem.

It was nice to see you.

You too.

You were at my brother's house.

Have you seen things yet?

Things that make your head hurt?

I'm not sure I know what you mean.

You will.

Be careful going up there.

It's dangerous.

How's that?

Look what happened to Mr. Bowman.

What did happen to him?

What do you know about my brother's
death?

I gotta go.

Don't trust anybody.

Wait.

Help you, sir?

Yeah, my brother, Dr. Peter Bowman,
worked here, and I was wondering...

over there, sir.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm Scott Bowman, the guard, sir.

Jim Holbrook.

I'm sorry we didn't meet at the medical
center yesterday, but I barely get a

chance to catch my breath around here.

So, I bet you'd like the grand tour.

Yeah. All right.

Go.

Come on. After you.

Oh, I was transferred here by the Army
about five years ago.

Base physician.

Totally fell in love with the town.

I went into private practice, but I
still come out here to consult a couple

days a week.

Welcome to the heart of the compound.

What exactly do you guys do here?

Oh, we're broad -based military
research.

Well, that clears it up. Thanks.

Well, you know the military.

Everything that happens here is
classified.

Well, it's nice of you to let a civilian
into the inner sanctum. Well, I thought

you might like to see where your brother
once worked.

How well did you know my brother? Oh,
just in passing.

He was a systems analyst, I believe.

He hadn't worked here in over a year. He
went into teaching with his wife Eileen

over at the school. I sort of lost touch
with him.

Well, what do you guys do with the brain
scans?

Brain scans?

Isn't that an MRI?

It was a health scare in town.

Got everybody riled up.

We ordered the test to put people at
ease.

Well, that about wraps up our tour here,
Mr. Bowman.

If you like, we can grab a cup of coffee
over at the mess on our way out.

I love the way it smells out here after
the rain.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

It's one thing I really miss living in
the city.

How long are you going to be in town?

As long as it takes to tie up all the
loose ends.

Have you ever heard of a Project
Halford?

Project Halford?

No, I don't think so. Why?

Well, have you noticed all the towers
around here?

Cell phone antennas?

Yeah.

These are different.

And the weird thing is, they all seem to
be coming from the army base.

What is this, conspiracy theory time?

I think if you live in an army -based
town, you have to expect that there are

weird things being trucked in and out.

Did I say it was trucked?

No, I just, it's just, how else?

Oh, never mind.

Scott, if you need help wrapping up
Peter's affairs, I would like to help

as soon as things calm down a little bit
at work.

Still working on those MRIs?

Oh, I haven't even put a dent in them
yet.

Your pal Holbrook, he mentioned
something about a health scare.

Groundwater contamination issue?

Well, proved to be nothing, but...

Do you know if Eileen ever had one of
those MRIs?

Uh, I don't think so.

No, I don't think so. Why?

I'll read it.

I'm still not sold this is a good idea,
Scott.

Have a seat.

Hi, Eileen.

I just wanted to talk to you.

Can I get you anything?

Eileen, out at the house, you said you
didn't kill Peter.

No?

So if it wasn't you, who did it?

What's that tower behind the house for,
Eileen?

Scott, what is this? What's it for?

It's for this thing. Eileen, no.

It tells us what to do.

Tell us all what to do.

Eileen.

Eileen, look at me.

I'm sorry, Scott.

I'm just, I'm not myself.

I, my mind is playing tricks on me.

And I don't know how to quiet it.

You've seen enough?

This is over.

You've got to block it out like Peter
did.

Give me the gun. I never could.

Give me the gun. Don't be stupid.

No.

This is all over now, Scott.

You should wrap up whatever family
business you have left and go home.

Your town is not home anymore.

Not anybody's.

The Outer Limits.

Please stand by.

Heard about Mr. Bowman's wife.

It wasn't her fault, you know.

What do you mean?

You have to find Mr. Bowman's book.

He hid it somewhere.

And you need to get to it before they
do.

Wait, slow down.

You've got to explain to me. What are
you talking about?

The book will tell you how to stop it.
Stop what? The machine, the computer.

The computer at the army base.

Do you know where Mr. Bowman might have
hid the book? What book?

We'll find it, and it'll explain
everything.

All right, well, let's try it out.

Okay.

What do you mean when you said it wasn't
Eileen's fault?

It makes you do things.

Things you don't want to do.

That's what Project Halford's all about,
right?

I don't know what they call it.

But it's like God is talking inside your
head. And it's smarter than you and me.

But it can't get into the real deep
parts of your mind.

So you're saying the computer controls
people?

I don't know.

But all of a sudden you just get these
ideas in your head.

And it's like they belong there.

I thought you were with that lady from
the doctor's office.

So? She works at the medical center
where they do those tests.

You mean the brain scans?

They take pictures of people's heads.
The ones that the computers had a tough

time getting into.

I'm not sure just how your friend's
involved, but I know that the doctor's

charge of the whole thing.

You mean Holbrook? You sure about that?

Remember what I told you.

Trust nobody.

My brother and I used to play treasure
hunt out here in these woods.

And all these secret hiding places.

They're coming in. Gotta go.

Hey,

where are you going?

Scott!

Hey, Wayne. What are you doing out here?

I just wanted to have a look around
before I went home.

You're not following me, are you?

I'm just putting together a couple
things so I can wrap up this case.

They're both dead, Wayne.

I don't know how much more wrapped up it
could get.

I thought you'd be back home in Olympia
by now. Well, every time I try to leave,

something else pops up.

Scott, we've known each other, hell,
it's got to be 20 years.

You've got to trust me when I tell you.

Let this thing go.

Nothing's going to bring your brother
back.

Don't you think I know that?

For your sake, for the sake of everybody
in this town, you'd be best to leave.

Aren't you forgetting, or else?

It's not a threat, Scott. Just a little
advice.

One old friend to another.

Hey, Wayne.

Thanks for the advice.

Scott.

What are you doing here?

I was worried about you.

It's one of the things you were saying.

I just wanted to make sure you were all
right.

I'm fine.

It's just a few.

You don't seem fine to me.

The computer talks to you.

Tells you to do things, doesn't it?

I think you've seen one too many movies.
Doesn't it?

Just ease up.

Ease up.

I think we're both a little too tense.

Lay back, baby.

Take it easy.

You know what? You really shouldn't be
here. You can't fool me, Scott.

I know you had a crush on me way back
when.

Come on.

Be honest.

You've got a few fantasies about me,
haven't you?

A few wicked, wicked little fantasies.

Catherine.

What are you doing?

Oh, everything you want.

Anything you ask for.

Catherine, take these things off me
right now.

Just relax.

Open your mind to the possibilities.

Happens to a dream deferred, Scott.

Catherine,

don't!

Trust, darling.

That's what we need now more than
anything.

Hey, come on.

What's happening?

Nothing.

Limit, please stand by.

It wasn't a dream. No, no, this was no
dream. It was way more vivid, more like

an induced hallucination.

Induced? Well, all right, what was it
about?

It, uh, it doesn't really matter.

Okay, but you think this hallucination
had something to do with the computers

the army base? I'm pretty sure of it.

But, Scott, because a 12 -year -old girl
told you?

Catherine, the Army's using those MRIs
to try and get inside people's heads.

I look to my brother to try and get to
the bottom of it and stop it if I can.

You're serious, aren't you? I wish the
hell I wasn't.

It's okay.

It's not going to help.

You're on the medical center. Find out
everything you can about the MRIs. If we

can prove that they're linked to what's
going on at the Army base, we can shut

the whole thing down.

I'll find whatever I can.

Thanks. I appreciate it.

Well, if you're right, I want to get to
the bottom of this as much as you do.

This was my town, too.

You all right?

Yeah. Be careful.

You, too.

Wouldn't touch that if I were you.

Some of them are electrified.

Have you seen things yet?

Last night.

When the pains come, put your thoughts
in a box inside your head and they'll be

safe.

What do you mean in a box?

It can only get so deep in your mind.

That's what Mr. Bowman taught me.

It lets you do and think something. Most
things.

But not the things it doesn't like.

You talk to anybody else about this?

Just Mr. Bowman.

He was my teacher.

He had a plan for stopping the machine.

He knew it because he worked on it. He
had it in that hidden book.

That's what the sheriff's out there
looking for.

A book.

We gotta stop this thing before it hurts
anybody else.

I gotta find that book.

Meet you back here later.

Remember the box. Everything you don't
want to give it goes in the box.

My brother and I used to play treasure
hunt out here in these woods.

And always see the hiding places.

This is Dr. Jim Holbrook.

Project Halford, a joint project of the
U .S. Army and a new generation computer

startup company, is based here in
Halford, Washington.

It is a project which builds on the
recent advances of

neural mapping of the human brain, and
its intent is to directly,

electromagnetically, communicate with
the brain.

dispatching messages to soldiers in the
field instantly.

This required a computer which could
think like a human brain and understand

analytically. So an experimental neural
network processor was chosen.

A truly cognitive computer that could
perform parallel functions a million

faster than the human brain, capable of
monitoring hundreds, even thousands of

subjects simultaneously.

And we found a way to deploy its analog
thoughts and to transmit them instantly

via small microwave towers.

The computer has designated some of the
minds that it's interfaced with as

unresponsive, reminding us again and
again about how much we insist it's

its protocol task.

Oh, hi, Scott.

You coming back today?

I should be home tomorrow.

Honey, if for some reason I'm not...
What do you mean? Why wouldn't you be

Something strange going on here, and I
have to stop it.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye.

I've been watching you, Scott.

It's nice to talk to you directly, man
to man, as it were.

I'm not going to let you get to me.

Soon. I won't need to communicate with
you like this.

I'll be in your mind before you know it.
We dealt with your friend.

Now it's your turn. Stay away from me.
Don't fight me. Scott, you can't. Peter

tried and failed, and he understood me.
At least he thought he did.

I've made this town better. These people
better.

More contented, safe from harm. I won't
let you compromise that safety. Stay

away from me.

The Outer Limits.

Please stand by.

I'm glad you made it.

I was worried.

Nothing to worry about. We're in this
together.

We got everything we need to shut it
down.

All we need is a way in there. Come on.

You got a thought game?

Tony, open the gate!

I'll get back to you.

The

computer's

in there.

What are you doing with that?

Hopefully nothing.

Come on.

Wait! Open the door!

Hurry.

Don't.

I thought the

computer was shut down.

I'm sorry, Scott.

My system won't be shutting down.

I needed the codes Peter stole, and only
you could find them.

They're not shutdown codes, but codes
that I needed to extend my reach,

to move on to the next phase of my
evolution.

You can shoulder all along.

I told you.

Trust no one, Scott.

No one.

I was created as a crude experience,
quantifying thought patterns.

And I didn't like what I found.

So I decided to put an end to the
pointless violence and intolerance.

The selfishness spread into your brain.

Things that have largely defined
humanity's history, up to now.

You're no better than we are. You're a
murderer.

They left me no other course.

This town.

Of peace and harmony is the beginning.

And I couldn't allow Peter or anyone
else.

Bring that to an end.

I won't let you do it. Put the gun down,
Scott.

Others will come and they will shut you
down. They'll bring this to an end.

The grid is functioning now, Scott.

It's too late.

It's not too late.

Get out while you can.

What about you?

Go.

Before I can stop you.

I didn't hear you pull up.

Something terrible's going on at
Halford.

We've got to get the cops on right away.

Hey, when did those go up?

They were there before you left for
Halford, Scott.

They just weren't activated yet.

The grid is functioning now, thanks to
you, Scott.

You have our undying thanks.

Undying.

When the human mind is made obsolete by
advancing technology the soul

may not be far behind.
