Original subtitles

You're not scared, are you?

Scared?

Why should I be scared?

Because we're next to a cemetery.

So?

And because, if anything were to happen, no one would ever hear a thing.

What could possibly happen?

Remember the guy they caught last year?

Yeah, what?

Anyone know the worst part?

What's that?

Chocolate milk?

He ate them. He cut off parts and he carried them around in a cooler. You're

making that up. I'm not.

My sister knows this guy who works with the paper. He told her.

When the cops caught him, you know what the cooler was full of?

Their fingers?

Oh, gross.

It's just the sheep's eye.

From the butcher shop.

When you die, the last thing you see stays on the back of your retina.

Kind of like a photograph.

My grandma said the soul is in the eyes.

The soul is an invention of primitive witch doctors.

Hey!

There's someone out there!

There's no one here.

There was.

I heard him.

Howie?

Howie, is that you?

Howie, no more games, you hear me?

Howie?

No, I didn't. You were the last one.

Jesus! What are you guys doing sneaking around like that? We weren't sneaking.

Thank you, Greg. Get down.

Like a pair of rats, huh?

No!

Emily!

No!

Let me go. Stay in there, will you? Let me go.

Hey, what did you do to that? You have no right.

Wes! What do you have there?

That some kind of animal?

Why, Moncho, are you hungry?

Is that a rat?

Your powers of observation are dubious at best.

Dubious?

Dubious.

You wanted me?

Uh, yes, yes.

Here.

New worker?

Dubious.

Oh!

And it's Sergeant Moncho.

What did you do to Ratty, pendejo?

Mother of God, I ain't seen him. I swear, I'm a sick man. Leave me alone.

Where's Ratty?

What's wrong, Cabrera?

Lose your stinky little pal?

You should ask Wes if he's seen him.

Wes likes animals.

What do you mean?

Think about it.

Dubious.

I love these ideas.

Is he missing?

You've seen him. You better fucking tell me anything.

Does he have any identifiable characteristics, special markings?

Who took him is going to get some special markings upside the head.

Are you the new doctor?

That's right.

That's the way to the clinic.

The warden wants to see you first.

In movies, they call this the death house.

You guys wouldn't call it that, no.

What do you call it?

The death house.

All these prisoners here are... Condemned to death.

73 % of these mates here are... Don't talk until he talks to you first.

Sex criminals.

There's a woman that should report.

Well, it's very disturbing to me as a person.

But as a reporter, it's a very interesting statistic.

Good answer, Laura.

Can I call you Laura?

Certainly.

So, you don't believe in rehabilitation?

Don't be naive, Laura.

I believe in what works.

2 ,000 volts of raw power from a standalone generator.

This works.

When a man fits in it, and I make every new prisoner fit in it.

To my power.

Fascinating.

You're just saying that.

Dr.

Phillips? Yes, sir.

Howard Phillips.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Orton Brando.

Doctor, you graduated in the top 5 % of your class.

You could have had your pick of the jobs.

What are you doing here?

Well, I'm interested in institutional medicine.

Really?

Well, well, yeah.

Hi, I'm Laura Olney.

I'm with the Arkham Record.

Anything you say to me can and will be misquoted or taken out of context.

Well, in that case, let me just say hi.

Hi.

We have a fully equipped medical facility here.

Yeah, I'm sure you do, sir, but these are mine.

Do all doctors have such a personal relationship with their tools?

Doctor, you made a request to have a particular inmate working with you in

infirmary. I believe we're understaffed and he does have a medical background.

Keep an eye on him.

Sir?

He thinks he's smarter than everyone else, but he's not.

It's an additive which can infect others.

Infect?

An idea can be like a disease.

If you're treating a patient and you discover a minor anomaly, do you ignore

Oh, man.

No, Doctor, no.

You cut it out. Those growths are benign. Not inside these walls.

Sir, excuse me, but there's a situation.

Out! Out of the way!

It's the doctor.

Forgive me, Father.

Forgive me.

Hear my confession.

Just calm down.

Blood.

Flesh.

Beating heart.

I had to eat it. I had to eat it.

Don't send me to hell.

Get the drop cloth.

Get the drop cloth.

Hurry. Keep his back perfectly straight, huh?

Sorry. Get your hands off me. Get back. One, two, three, lift.

One, two, three, lift.

This way, doctor.

Out of the way.

Grab my bag.

I'm fine.

Where did we go?

What happened?

Heart attack.

Are you the new doctor?

Yes.

Get on the table carefully.

Nurse set up the IV.

Hurry up. Yes, doctor.

Give me some amiodarone. What?

Amiodarone. We don't have any amiodarone. What do you mean you don't

Then come in. What do you have?

What have you got?

Come on, nurse!

Try soda law.

It has a similar effect.

Go get it!

Would you help her, please?

Nurse, take these guys out of the way. Come on. Nurse, get these men outside.

Come on, out. Everybody out. Come on, out.

Stay out there with them. But don't cry. Stay out there with them.

Clear.

You're wasting your time.

He was dead before you brought him in here.

God damn it!

He was a night patient.

For five minutes.

So you're the new doctor.

What is the meaning of this?

Dr. Herbert West.

I know all about you.

Oh, really?

I know what you did.

They tried to cover it all up.

Your experiments.

Don't believe everything you hear.

I didn't hear it, Doctor.

I thought.

That night they arrested you.

I was that kid.

I want to work with you.

Thirteen years.

There's bound to be some deterioration.

A reactive base.

May have destabilized.

But maybe not.

What are you doing?

Thinking if it still works. No!

Someone could come in.

We're just treating the patient.

How long will it take?

I don't think it's going to take at all.

We couldn't break the dosage. No, no. It's not going to work on him.

It might work on something else.

Thank you for bringing me back my reagent.

Such as it is.

Oh, well.

Hey, wait a minute.

Listen.

Think about it. Come on.

We can make some more.

In here.

This place doesn't even have basic first aid, as you just found out.

But this is my clinic now.

What do you need?

It still works.

Oh, my God.

How do you feel?

Can you hear me? Stay away from him! Can you hear me?

No!

No!

No!

You have to sedate him!

crazy, sir.

Yeah. He was suffering from a severe cardiac arrhythmia. He had a reaction to

the medication.

What medication?

Yeah.

We administrated 10 cc's of soledone.

Provoked an unexpected side effect.

This is what you call an unexpected side effect? Well, I tried patient.

He suffered atrial fibrillation.

Simple English.

His heart was beating too fast.

The side effect was regrettable, but not unusual.

You just added 12 months to your sentence.

I'm a little swollen.

Dr. Phillips, one of my men is hurt.

I'm taking care of him, sir.

Sergeant.

There'll be an immediate lockdown.

Yes, sir.

Miss Olney, the rest of your visit will be conducted outside of the security

areas of this institution.

But, warden... West, the lockdown includes you.

Dr. Phillips asked me to make a list of the supplies we need.

That's right, sir. I do need that list.

Clean that man up and get him to the hole My

last

partner turned state's evidence against me I'm expecting better things of you

Watch out for her.

She's trouble.

Hi there.

Hi.

Just organizing my notes.

You were right about my ankle, by the way.

I should have stayed open.

Kind of hard to push in the clutch, huh?

How about I drive you home?

Are you sure?

I'm putting you through a lot of trouble.

On a day like this, nothing is trouble.

Had yourself a big day, Moses.

Made the hell out of four grown men while you were having a heart attack.

How'd you do that?

They gave you some kind of medication, didn't they?

What was it?

I know why I'm here.

Yes. I'm dead.

And this is hell.

I'll show you what hell is.

What?

What? You and me haven't got to talk, man.

What?

What?

Hey,

I should have smelled it. This pizza is great.

I've had a great time.

Great. I was really impressed by the way you handled that interview today.

Yeah.

I did such a great job that the interviewer threw me out.

But progressive educational programs at the state penitentiary, such a stupid

story. Oh, come on.

Don't give up.

Anything's possible. You just have to see the possibilities and seize the

moment, you know?

Trust your instincts and go for it.

Just go for it?

Yeah.

Okay, I'll go for it.

So, what are you really doing here?

Institutional medicine.

Tell me about your secret institutional medicine research, Doctor.

Yes, why, of course.

I'm investigating the scientific effects of institutionalization on the very

nature of life and death.

Yeah, yeah, why are you doing your residency in the joint?

Really why Howard?

It's all my sister died when I was a kid

I never want to feel that helpless again.

Try to resuscitate her.

I wanted to bring her back to life.

Who was the guy who was helping you today?

Dr. Herbert West.

He's a prisoner now.

He used to work at the Miskatonic University Hospital.

He did research based on the theory that death is a disease.

One of his reanimation experiments went out of control.

Crazy.

Violent. Like the old man today.

An escape from the Miskatonic Morgue.

The Morgue? The guy broke into our house and...

Thanks, Christian.

Reminds me of Emily.

Your sister.

You're going.

It's been a long day.

Yeah.

Looks like your ankle is better.

Yeah.

Seize the moment.

Go for it.

Looks like you got everything.

Moses isn't doing so good.

We need a lab space.

Somewhere private.

I think this will do.

He's a monster.

He's as fresh a specimen as we could hope to find.

It's always been a problem. Goddamn right it's a problem.

I want to help people, not create mindless freaks.

Having second thoughts, Doctor?

All medical research requires...

If you don't understand that, perhaps you shouldn't be here.

I'm on the verge of finding the unifying force that will bring order to that

chaotic organism.

Are you telling me you found a way to restore rational behavior? What I'm

is that I can now accelerate the testing phase of my current work with

your help, of course.

Doctor, this work requires commitment and complete confidentiality.

You must tell no one. I think I'm just gonna walk. You have lipstick on your

collar, Doctor.

Dr. Philip?

I'm gonna be leaving now.

What's that for?

Dr. Philip?

Do you need anything?

Doctor,

are you there?

I was afraid you weren't going to come by.

I was working late.

On what?

Nothing, just clinic stuff, you know.

Oh, come on. What are you doing investigating me?

No. Yeah.

I was just wondering how the old man was doing. He's fine.

He's fine.

Really?

He doesn't seem human anymore.

We shouldn't have.

You shouldn't have what?

What's the matter?

There's a story I'm working on. I figured

out some stuff, but it's really just speculation.

You need hard facts.

Yeah.

But to get them, I'll have to take some risks.

So what do I do?

Play it safe or go for it?

No question.

You gotta go for it.

You mean that?

You gotta take some chances.

That's what you're doing, isn't it?

So tell me, what's your new story about?

Can't tell you yet.

Secrets.

Every girl needs a few secrets.

It hurts so much.

I can't even speak.

I really don't see anything wrong.

Come on. Once they gave me little red pills. Bye, Corinne.

It made me feel better right away.

Little red beans.

Come on, little red... tits.

Here, take two at bedtime.

How about right now?

Today is the day.

Then I'll see you in the yard.

You're a dead man. A dead man.

Today's the day.

It worked.

Reschedule the afternoon patient, nurse.

Doctor!

My story isn't working.

It's too impersonal.

Something's missing.

And it's you.

You are the key.

The key?

To what?

To understanding how this prison works.

Everything here is an extension of your philosophy.

I'd like another look around.

Afterwards, I'll need you for a few hours for an in -depth interview.

I'd be happy to do the interview.

If... If?

If we conduct it over dinner tonight.

That way you can get to know the man behind the office.

After my tour?

Sergeant, please consider me as only my personal guest today.

Yes, sir.

And give her the grand tour.

Again.

Why did you come back?

To finish a profile on you.

Oh, really?

You're a fascinating man.

You're just saying that.

Tonight, then.

Did you know?

The human body loses three to four grams of weight at the moment of death.

I think I heard something about that, yeah.

Of course, a rodent loses much less than that, but the ratio remains the same.

The cerebral cortex is the site of an extraordinary

neuroelectric phenomena.

Hold him.

Hold him.

Tightly.

Ratty is not going to be very happy.

This phenomenon, NPE, nanoplasmic energy, is not

just in the brain. I have found minute traces of NPE throughout the central

nervous system, and I believe that it is present in every cell of the body. I

would hold him a little...

Classic post -reanimation behavior.

Confused, violent, just like all my other subjects at the time.

This brought him back from the dead. But this will give you true life.

What is that?

The nanoplasm from a living donor rat.

Donor rat?

Hold him.

Completely still.

That's it.

This is the catalyst. This is the force that

tells the cells.

Dr. Phillips, how are you? What are you doing here?

Just going for it.

That's the way to the hole.

Certainly is.

You know, I'd really like to talk to him.

Nope. Not a chance.

My editor gives us an expense account for stories.

How much we talking here?

Cell door has to be locked at all times.

I'll be back for you in ten minutes.

And what if I...

Need you.

Do I call?

Not a sound.

No one can know you're in there.

I can't hurt you.

Not in that straitjacket.

Look who's coming.

She's going to see Moses.

I mean, why else would she be going there?

All right, give him to me.

Any last words, pendejo?

Ready?

What happened?

I gave him his pet back.

Are you gonna let him go? Just like that?

Oh, give daddy a kiss.

What's wrong, Betty?

Hi, I'm Laura Olney. I'm a journalist.

I want to talk to you about what happened the other day.

Okay?

Do you remember what Dr. West did to you?

Did you die from that heart attack?

Can I check your pulse?

I'm out of blood.

Forgive me.

What happened to you?

Hungry.

Thank God you're here.

You must think I'm an idiot.

No, I don't.

Really. You're a very intelligent man.

Fascinating.

I don't like it when people lie to me.

I wasn't lying.

Explain.

That's what they'll say.

You know what? Crease in the leg of the ant. It was self -defense.

You have no choice.

I'll swear to it.

You're done.

You're going to have to convince me.

bark you heard me bark

am

i the most fascinating man you've ever met

and you would do anything for me

bribed a guard, came in here and freed a dangerous prisoner.

He got excited.

I want to get Moses

up here.

Why? To put this in him.

You've got some more of that stuff.

No. This is Ratty's NPE.

I gave Ratty the nanoplasm of a different rodent.

But aren't the two animals different? Absolutely not.

Nanoplasm is a completely neutral energy.

It's the same in rats, dogs, human beings.

Hang on.

You want to put this into Moses?

Yes. Look, going from rat to rat is okay, but transferring from species to

species, it's not right.

What?

The result of years and years of painstaking research under

conditions. How dare you say my work is wrong? You can't just go and transfer

the soul into... Oh, the soul.

This is science.

Doctor, not superstition. The human being we're talking about. It was a

being, and it will be again with the... Dr.

Phillips!

One, two, three.

Dr.

Phillips!

There's been an incident.

No!

No.

Moses killed her down in the hole.

He's dead too.

Dead?

The ward needs death certificates.

Now.

Get rid of the nurse.

Nurse, help the officers.

But I'm not supposed to... No!

Love, she turns out like Moses.

She's not getting any fresher.

Come on.

Top of the spinal cord, right? Right.

Thorazine. We don't want her getting too excited.

Hurry up.

Get her!

Can you hear me?

What is your name? Do you know what happened?

It's not a very good idea.

Where the hell did he go?

He's gotta be here. Somewhere.

Look everywhere.

Everywhere!

He's not in there.

Poor little thing.

Come on.

Go get your food. Go.

What is going on? Give it back, you freak!

You

little...

No!

Why not?

Because it's cross feces.

Dr.

Phillips.

Get her down.

Where's the body?

She, uh... She... What the hell is going on in here?

Mr. West and I...

We set up a lab in here.

You've been doing illegal research.

You'll lose your job for this and your medical license.

Move.

It's what you gave Moses.

You are never going to see the outside of these walls again.

No, no,

no, no, no.

You're dead.

You can all execute him.

That's the idea.

Only through electrocution can you drive the nanoplasm to

the hypothalamus where we can extract it at the moment of death. Yes, hang on.

You want to put his nanoplasm in a laura? Rodent to rodent, you have no

Human to human, you do.

He's going to be dead in a few moments.

He's not dying.

Give daddy a kiss.

Happened to me.

You could say that.

Why are you looking at me like that?

Warden Brando strangled you.

You were technically dead for a quarter of an hour. Dr. Phillips and I brought

you back.

What are you talking about?

Brought me back?

I... I feel so... What?

How do you feel?

What's happening?

Let me see what's going on here.

You are using me as a guinea pig.

And you let him do it. No.

Stay away from me.

Both of you.

Fucked him up. Or maybe you gave me the wrong rat.

Get your hands off. Guards!

What?

Guards? There ain't no fucking guards.

This place is a riot.

Leave her alone.

What did you say? Stay away from her. She's sick.

Contagious. Sick?

Well, I got some good medicine here.

Make her feel better.

West took my little ratty, so I'm gonna take this little pussycat.

Hmm.

I can pin no woman! Well, she must still be in there!

This way, man.

Shit.

Hey,

mamacita.

Don't you be playing hide -and -seek with me.

Daddy has a big present for you.

Before I leave, I want to conduct one last experiment, and you are the perfect

subject. Those three years in solitary were very instructive. I did my

best work in there, and this is the result.

Golden.

Human.

Is it a neutral energy?

Behavioral imprinting.

Let's find out.

You creep.

You fry for this. Do you hear that?

There's a riot going on up there. The animals are running the zoo.

They'll make their way down here quite soon, I think.

I'd like to stick around for the results, but I can't. You see, there's a

early release program just today, and I qualify.

I'll just leave this room wide open so they fight you.

It's the warden. It's not the warden anymore.

You don't dare.

I'm always the warden.

I need a doctor.

Sergeant, you let that man go.

Sergeant Mantra, straighten up.

On your feet.

Sergeant!

Stand up.

That's an order.

What do I have to do to get you to follow orders?

Are these men giving you a problem?

I didn't do that.

Well, then, maybe I did.

Or maybe they went and killed themselves.

They couldn't stand living with their crimes.

They couldn't stand looking in the mirror one more time.

The death house was built for only one purpose.

Punishment.

But the problem with execution is it happens too fast.

One moment of pain and bam, you're dead.

And you're off the hook.

Today's criminals aren't scared anymore.

He looks scared to me. Just acting.

They're all actors here.

Execution.

It's the kindest thing we could do for them.

But what if the agony of death didn't end in an instant?

Lucy, move out!

Forgive me.

Forgive me for I have sinned.

All right.

Laura! Laura!

Laura!

Laura!

You lose something?

She changed.

You were wrong. She changed.

It was a theory.

Oh, God, it is you!

What was I thinking?

Laura was right.

You killed my sister. That was an unfortunate incident. Emily, it was not

incident. There's nothing that we can do about your sister now.

But we may still be able to save your girlfriend.

Laura!

Her name is Laura.

Did you try the death house?

What? Did you look for her in the death house? If the warden found her, that's

probably where he took her.

I'm a warden, but...

But he's dead.

God damn you!

Vigil's got nothing to do with this.

In position!

Come on with your hands!

Get that hickeys now.

Sergeant!

Go stand guard.

I can't.

Fascinating.

I was just a piece of ass for you.

No.

Never.

This is mine.

You fucker. You've been hauling out of me, man.

You can keep this.

This is awesome.

This green shit.

Archman! Give it to me.

Sorry. I can do it. Prison rules.

We can't share needles. It's not safe.

And now, if I cough, I'm going to use this.

I wouldn't do that if I were you.

Fortunately, right now, cabron, you are not...

Hey, man.

Got any more?

Just another hit.

I'd say you've had enough.

Please, how about some Baccarin? A little red pill?

Aspirin!

Randall, is that you?

Where is it?

The what? You know very well. What?

Where's my work?

of you.

is over.

Please, Howard.

Please, stop me.

You will be punished for this. I'd say you're the one being punished.

I had to kill her.

Get it out.

To save her.

But I want her back.

It's going to be alright, Emily.

Are you okay?

She's all right now.

I gave her life.

Halt!

This man is critical. I need to get him to Miskatani General right away. Who are

you? Dr. Phillips.

Dr. Howard Phillips. I run the prison infirmary. Who are you? I want to know

who's responsible if this man dies. Okay.

Go. Go.

Loobius.

Loobius.

Hey, hey.

Hey.

Take him.

I saved you! Emily?

Laura?

Emily?

Laura?
