Original subtitles

I was reading your form,

and you've indicated that you have Parkinson's disease?

The disease's in its beginning stage.

The signs of the disease are minimal.

You will need to remain still for the

images to be sharp.

Can you control your shaking?

Well I think I can control my shaking for a short while.

While you're inside the MRI scanner you'll be able to talk through the two-way Channel.

Hold still.

The first image is about to form.

Breathe normally.

I'm going to take one cross section.

I'm going to take one photo of a cross section.

The doctor will examine the images and talk to you.

Either of you ever been in this room before?

Either of you have a relative that had an MRI done in this room?

My father came here in July in a scan of the bone marrow in his hips.

How did he feel about the MRI?

He thought it was pretty loud.

Part of the diagnosis process involves using an MRI scanner.

The scanner gives an internal picture of a specific tissue.

In some cases CAT scans or x-rays can be used instead of the MRI.

Before these procedures the other option available was to surgically open

the layers of tissue in order to make an examination.

The hospital has had this MRI scanner for the last five years.

The staff uses it to identify cancerous cells and to treat cancer patients.

We also use it to examine the brains of

patients that have traumas from

automobile accidents.

That's unexpected when did you learn about it?

Mhm, I'm on a third floor. I live in an

apartment building on the east side of the city.

It's about 15 minutes from the bridge.

I have a view of downtown through my windows.

I have some of the MRIs.

We took the images of the brains of patients suffering from extreme cases of schizophrenia.

Many of these patients hear voices inside their heads.

Some hear voices that seem to be coming from across the street.

One of my colleagues, Dr. Raymond, treated a patient who heard voices inside her head.

He treated her with the medication that blocks dopamine receptors in the brain.

After taking this medication the patient stopped hearing these voices.

He took a snapshot of her brain and compared it with the brain of a patient,

who was treated with a different medication,

one that blocks serotonin receptors.

I have some of the MRIs.

Dr. Marlon?

Yes.

Do these patients hear voices that resemble people talking at random?

They hear different types of voices. Usually, a voice stands out.

Dr. Raymond's patient...

She heard a voice that claims to be the voice of a dead man.

This picture was taken through Dr. Raymond.

It's an image of his patient's brain.

And this is a normal brain.

In the majority of studies the lateral ventricle inside the brain of a

schizophrenic person was larger than the one inside of a normal brain.

Now I'm showing you MRIs for an extreme case.

The differences are more subtle in patients who suffer from minor cases of schizophrenia.

I'm holding an MRI that shows an obstructed

artery inside the brain of a patient.

This is one of my patients prior to surgery.

Look at the small clot inside the artery.

After the patient is placed on the flatbed,

the MRI produces three-dimensional

pictures of the patient's anatomy.

Yeah, can, uh, you transfer me to the library's reserve section?

Thank you.

The patient will go through scans that vary in length.

The scanner will form an image in a few seconds for some scans.

Some images will take a few minutes.

An entire MRI lasts longer.

Who is it?

Started moving on Monday.

My apartment's down the hall.

Yeah the landlord told us there'd be new tenants.

There's a lot of furniture being carried around.

So are you all settled in your new apartment?

Ed!

Thanks I don't know much before that.

My mother didn't go to the details.

She spent most of her early years in a small town.

I can go as far back as my grandfather. He grew up in Riem.

He didn't have any brothers or sisters.

Did he love the town?

Sometimes he gave me the impression that he didn't.

But my grandfather stayed in Riem for most of his life.

What did he do in Riem?

He became a carpenter.

Well, uh, my father also grew up in a small town.

He stayed in his town until he was 15.

Later on his family moved away into the suburbs of a large city.

Wow, you got a nice radio clock!

When did you get it?

Um last week yeah the, uh, buttons on my old one weren't working anymore so...

We've been sharing the room together

since the beginning of term,

but I rarely see her.

Need my Neurochemistry Book!

She's your new roommate?

She spends a lot of hours in the Fehler Building and when she's here she barely

sees me, because I've spent a lot of hours at the Auburn Hospital.

Don has injured his hand over the weekend.

He's said that he's lost some

sensitivity in his right hand.

He's worried that it might be permanent.

Has he seen a doctor for the injury?

Has he seen a doctor? The doctor sent him to see Neurospecialist.

If the damage was in the hand the nerves were either cut or damaged and has uh...

(LINE?!)

Hmm...

Yeah it may not be permanent though.

Well, he was telling me yesterday that his hand hasn't gotten better.

The specialist may be able to do something for him.

It's easier to repair a nerve in the hand than a nerve in the spinal cord.

It is puzzling that you can repair a nerve in a hand but not the ones in a spinal cord.

Neural surgery isn't my field.

Sarah is actually writing a paper on nerve grafting. She has some photos that show

the nerves in the spinal cord.

There are places I'd still like to visit.

I still haven't been to the main market.

Food isn't bad from what I've gathered.

Well your room is almost as spacious as mine.

There's an apartment down the hall that

is larger. It has three bedrooms.

I saw these ads in a magazine for some

apartments North of Berringwell.

It's so much calmer compared to where I live.

Is it far from where you live?

No it's not far.

I can take a bus and get there.

[MIDI Interlude]

Hi, I'm the new intern. I think I'm on the third floor.

Sarah?

Oh hi!

You're an intern at the company?

Yeah it's um...

It's my second day the bulletin board has a lot of notices.

Yeah...

There's someone else in Mr. Kintura's office.

Yeah...Did you recognize her?

The girl in the office?

She's the person that discovered Ed Brown's body.

Ed Brown...?

Oh!

The, um, the student discovered dead in the downtown apartment?

Yep. He was living by dorms without a place outside campus.

Yeah I heard uhm...

I heard about that on the news I just I didn't know that was the same person.

You know there's been three homicides in the past four months?

Yeah I mean they keep showing where the homicides took place.

What happened in Ed's seemed similar to the Past ones.

How do you know?

Look at some articles. A lot of the victims had similar stab wounds.

Oh! I almost forgot I have your...your questionnaire.

Oh, great thanks!

Thanks for participating!

No problem.

So what'd you think of the questions?

Uh, I think that you would probably get

some really strange looks if you asked

those at my dinner date.

Yeah they'd probably have second thoughts about ever going on another date.

Yeah...

It's a small world huh? I mean we're in

the same graduate program and interns at

the same company...

Yeah, how likely is that?

She's still in the office.

Hmm...

The other participants...

Well most of them anyway,

answered questions three and four

the same way as you.

You're the second person to choose live in a deserted Island in question two.

Only for two days.

I mean, I think it'd be a unique experience,

but if I have to stay over longer,

then I wouldn't do it.

Set for the second part of the exercise?

How long is it?

Should be more than a half an hour. Most of the subjects were done in like 20 minutes.

Um, yeah...

But my schedule looks pretty booked up this week. Uh, what about next week?

Uh...

Is Wednesday a good day?

Wednesday I have something in the evening.

What about what about Tuesday evening? Um, around 7pm?

Yeah.

Seven seven sounds okay.

Okay I'll see you seven o'clock, Tuesday the 11th.

Uh where?

Uh in this building uh you see the hall over there? It'll be in a room in the

middle of the hall.

The room before the meeting room?

Uh the one before that. I'll put a sign on the door.

Okay, yeah, that'll be helpful.

Well, looks like she's leaving.

Good luck.

New synapses will form inside an injured brain.

People who have lost part of their brain,

through a stroke or through a car accident,

have been able to recover some movements

in their arms and legs.

In some rare cases a very young person

may have lost a great portion of one

side of their brain and the remaining

side will develop new functions usually

associated with the other side of the brain.

[MIDI Interlude]

Mike is that you?

Haley?

There was a glass on the cabinet.

I've unpacked some of his belongings.

These pictures look recent.

He mailed them to me, a couple of weeks before the day he was stabbed.

There's no date on the pictures.

I went to his apartment to get his

belongings but the police had taken most

of them away to be analyzed.

Except for some items in his closet.

When he was here during the winter we talked about what he had seen.

Then with a severe injury a [INAUDIBLE] patient with Alzheimer's.

We also talked about the other people in his group.

I saw the note on the table.

Yeah, the uh... The driver tried to deliver the package this morning.

Raise your left arm as high as you can.

Okay...

It's higher than you were able to raise it during your previous visit.

You should be able to get it even higher in the coming weeks.

It seems to get better every day.

Yeah, well the nerves are still healing.

The next couple of weeks you should be able to regain normal movement of the arm.

Now the numb sensation in your foot, how's that?

It feels the same.

That's the trade-off that we talked about.

I took a small portion of the nerves around the ankle and grafted them into your arm.

Well there's a little discomfort in my

foot and the numb sensation doesn't

bother me as much anymore.

I think a room on the first floor is being moved to the second.

I went to print some documents and a

technician said the printers have been moved.

Can you still print?

They've got uh printers in the basement you can use.

The computer room on the second floor

should be available to print tomorrow.

Yeah, yeah I'm taking a I'm taking a

class taught by Robert Free in the spring.

I took molecular biology with him.

After Friday, uh, we'll have a long

weekend with Monday off.

How's Dad?

Oh... Ugh...

Well biochemistry is one of the hardest subjects.

Uh no. Hands-on dissection of brains and spinal cords isn't until next year.

Well, we don't operate on live patients, that doesn't happen until residency.

Oh really?

God I haven't seen her in forever.

Where did you run into her?

Do you think she remembers me?

Now the last time I saw her uh was Lexington.

Yeah she only spoke a little bit about where she was going.

Martin may have talked to her.

No, Lori doesn't know her.

So, we went to the restaurant across the

street because one other one had closed.

You know everything was going okay.

I ordered a salad and Amy ordered the

shrimp plate. You know, it was.. We really

need to eat we were starving.

So she starts eating you know several

bites of her shrimp and all of a sudden

she feels really ill. She actually had to

be rushed to the hospital.

Just from eating the shrimp but what were her symptoms?

She couldn't breathe, uh she had stomach cramps she was

actually diagnosed with an allergic reaction to shrimp.

And she didn't know she allergic to shrimp?

No she told me she's had shrimp many times before this was the first

time she developed an allergic reaction to the food.

My hometown is near Turlend.

Yeah I've never been to that town, but I've been through it.

Yeah I've worked there for a few years so.

I grew up in Salisbury it's probably 40 miles from Turlend.

But I go by the race track every time I commute downtown.

Yeah um I haven't been to the racetrack but I've been by that large display for the track.

And did you have anywhere else besides Salisbury?

Yeah, I lived in Pelham.

Um Pelham, that's north of the city.

Yeah, yeah so it's just north.

So you share an apartment in Turlend for how long?

Um for two years.

Everything was wonderful during the first year.

We discovered we weren't as compatible as we thought.

I ended up leaving the apartment we were sharing and ended up in another apartment.

What makes a signal that tells a muscle

to contract different from a signal that

tells an entire hand to contract?

Good question.

We're not entirely successful in selling

experiments the brain signals are

processed and converted into numerical values.

The values can then be represented

as pixels on a monitor.

Hi!

Hi.

Sorry I'm late, I got caught in traffic.

Ah, glad you were able to make it. Let's have a seat.

Right Here?

Yeah.

Okay.

It's cold outside today!

Yeah... Yesterday felt like summer though.

I know, by noon everyone was in shorts and t-shirts.

Hmph, I saw people in the lawn outside Dana Hall.

I know the weatherman said it was... The temperature was, like, in the 80s.

So... These are the chips?

Yep.

I can't experiment with them until next

month when I start my psychology project

with the company.

They're uh slightly heavier than ordinary chips.

Yeah but they're still so light. Have you ever misplaced them by accident?

Hm, no... But it's pretty easy to lose them.

Okay so so what are the steps of the exercise?

I'll place a chip on my right Temple,

and a second ship ago in your right Temple.

They'll ask you to close your eyes clear your mind.

And I'll ask you a series of questions.

For each answer, an image will form inside my mind.

So the chips help you see like the thoughts that a person has?

Some of the thoughts that the Chip's able to interpret.

I'll see a basic composition of geometric objects.

But nothing else?

Not at this point.

So then will I be able to see your thoughts too?

No the chips inform the information

flow in one direction only.

You won't see any of my thoughts,

but at the end of the questionnaire

we'll switch them. You'll have a chance to ask

me the same questions and see my thoughts.

And the people I've talked to have said

really great things about them, but still

I haven't talked to everybody have you...

Have you ever had a bad experience with the chips?

No, I worked with eight previous subjects,

none of them gave me any negative feedback.

And there's no danger to the brain?

No, the electrical signals created

are far too weak to cause any harm.

The worst thing that can happen is

I don't see anything at all.

Sometimes the chips can't read the brain

signals of certain subjects.

And there's also a safety mechanism.

When you want to end the thought transmission,

either open your eyes or just remove the

chip from your temple.

You ready for a trial?

Ready!

Think of an object.

Any object?

Simple one.

Wow!

That was a surprise.

Picture was so clear.

So what did you see?

I saw a cylinder was that what you were picturing?

Oh I was picturing a basket.

Let's try something more elaborate.

Think of a series of objects one after the other.

There was a flower...

And then...

People? Were they people?

My head they are.

Why were you thinking of them?

I wasn't they just appeared out of nowhere.

I mean the same people that I saw right

before Ed Brown was murdered.

You mean that was Ed Brown, the person who stabbed him?

Ed's face is distinguishable I right up

to the color of his eyes I could see

that his Iris was dilating.

Wait you with the same pictures in your

head before the murder

the week before it happened.

And the Visions go away when you open your eyes?

They only they only appear when my eyes are closed.

But if you can see a murder before it happens

we can do something about the next one.

I mean yeah what can I do I can't do anything.

Well the police work with psychics to

find Clues when looking for missing people.

The pictures are in my head I mean

there's no way to tell when they're

gonna appear again.

Do you want to go on with the exercise?

Yeah.

Yeah let's go on.

Okay, look, during the exercise if you

have another Vision you let the entire

thing unravel itself?

Yeah I'd have to keep my eyes closed.

I had a glimpse of your last Vision,

but I'd like to see the entire thing.

And maybe pick up clues about the assailant.

Several cubes are in an empty room.

How would you arrange them?

It looks like a hook?

Or question mark?

Yeah it's a question mark.

So picture a flat surface.

Out of the surface one letter rises.

From the alphabet?

Yes.

Sarah are you imagining the scenery?

No, I'm not imagining it.

[MIDI Interlude]

[MIDI Interlude Redux]

I don't recognize the house.

Can you tell which house it is?

No, I don't recognize it either.

It could be house off campus?

Straight lines.

They form a wall around the window.

Yeah they're I see cabinets in the wall.

One cabinet is open.

And there's a cereal box on the counter.

I only see the shape of the box.

We're moving toward another door.

Yeah there are two chairs by the sink.

And one of them seems to have a piece of paper on it,

but I think it's just blank.

There's an object there's there's some

kind of ornament on the door.

Yeah it's a board. It's a... There's a small board on the door.

The image is becoming sharper.

I see someone.

It's a person yeah. I see a woman...

She's wearing some sort of blouse.

Her left arm is bleeding!

Where is she?

She's in a room... appears to be very small.

She's, she's throwing objects across the room.

What's in the corner?

Do you see a hand on the wall?

No I have limited view of the wall.

Yeah there's someone else inside the room.

Who else? I don't see anyone.

Wait I... I see something. Do you recognize them?

No I just see a blur... There's a haze over the face!

What is she doing?

She's facing the door she's trying to open the door but she can't get out!

And the vision it's...

It's stopped.

Angie!

It looks like someone left a book in the living room.

Is it yours?

What we've just seen might not have

really happened.

Do you know the woman?

I don't know who she is.

Angie?!

I couldn't tell where she was

strongly didn't have enough details.

I only saw I mean I saw the inside

of the room and I just outside of the

house and that's not enough information.

While I was out there, [INAUDIBLE] went to a house on Laris Street.

A woman was trapped in a room.

She has multiple stab wounds and she's

in critical condition.

I need some fresh air.

Well?

The wind died down.

How much do we have left?

Well I got four questions left.

We can finish another time if you want.

No no let's um let's just finish the

four questions and then and then we'll

switch the chips because I want to be

able to see a picture I'm creating.

A bright sun shines on the small waves

of an ocean...

You dive under the waves.

What do you find under there?

How's the transmission?

Very good the images were clearer than

ones I've gotten with previous subjects.

What was wrong with the other ones?

No, some were fuzzy

somewhere intermittent like a bad

television connection.

Some transmissions had no images at all.

[MIDI Interlude]

Who's there?

Is it locked? Is it locked?

Yes, the handle turns but it won't open.

I don't see anything moving.

Are you okay?

I was having a terrible dream.

About what?

You don't look so good.

Oh sorry I'm late I'm gonna it was in a discussion with a professor 107.

I was dreaming we were exchanging thoughts.

That sounds pretty interesting how do you do that?

We had um chips on our Temple and, uh they let us see

each other's thoughts.

What was so terrible about it?

Uh the dream the guy who killed Ed Brown,

he was trying to kill us.

Well, that's some dream you've had.

I can tell you about later let's let's

finish the exercise. Have a seat.

Okay first question:

if you could choose between a truck a

sedan or a sports car,

which car would you choose and why?

Mmm, I'll choose a sedan.

Okay is there any particular reason why you choose a sedan?

Um I don't even move much of my stuff around.

I don't know just more convenient for me

to have a sedan.

Okay uh you can decorate your room any

which way you choose:

what objects would you put in your room?

Am I decorating for some special event?

No I didn't have a special event in mind.

So just you walk into your dorm room and

you can decorate it however you want so,

what would you do?

First I changed the lighting.

I put in a switch that let me dim the lights.

And I bring in two metallic floor lamps,

and a wooden Round Table.

The one I have is rectangular.

Uh I'm writing down kinda a long answer

does it matter if it's two lines or three?

Um two lines are good three if you feel it's necessary.

Okay so you're given a wish you can

change two events within the last 48

hours of your personal schedule:

what would you change?

Hmm, In the last 48 hours...

Thursday night I...

Thursday I attended lectures but...

I didn't fully hear everything

I was half asleep.

Wednesday night I would have gone to bed

like two hours earlier.

I wouldn't have been so exhausted.

In your dreams do you ever fly?

I was flying one time last month.

That was floating several feet above the ground,

and I was floating forward.

Did you have control of your flight?

I left the ground, but I trouble gaining altitude.

And I wanted to go faster but I couldn't.

So you were walking

and you decided to leave the ground...

Were you being chased?

I don't I don't remember all the parts.

I know I wanted to leave the ground.

Did you did you land back on the ground

during your dream?

I forward above it for what seemed like minutes.

Before that dream do you remember any

other times when you dreamed that you

were flying?

That one was really Vivid.

I don't remember any other times.

We're down to number 15.

I was trying to get into the lab there

are six digits to the access code. Now

what are the last digits to the access code?

The... The chair it knocked him out.

The chair knocked him out?

The chair it...

It just lifted itself up and pushed him against the wall.

I'm in the corporate building I'm in the

room right before the meeting room.

Someone's been stabbed uh the murder is

still in the building.

No, I'm fine.

Sarah. Austin.

That chair moved, just like the ones in my dream.

Sarah.

Did you call me?

No I didn't.

But I did hear a voice call your name.

I'm over here.

Sarah?

Did you hear that?

Yeah I heard "I'm over here."

I don't see anyone.

You can't see me but the two of you can hear me.

No one else seems to be able to hear me talk.

Can you tell where I am?

Yeah you're right in front of me.

I don't have a shape neither of you can touch me.

There's no one near the chair.

I didn't have that same feeling in my

hands after that knife.

They can sometimes move objects.

How can you move objects?

I'm having a difficult time moving that chair.

I could see myself having arms and with

my arms I could feel the object and I can push it.

Well, can you move my backpack?

The bag is too heavy.

I can't hold on to it.

I can lift the ruler.

Craig, what happened after you collapsed?

I saw myself lying on the ground.

The person on the ground wasn't moving.

I felt dizzy and I walked into the front yard of the house.

Did you know you've been stabbed?

I recognized myself on the ground and I

remembered being stabbed.

I waited outside the house. I waited to

see what was going to happen.

I didn't want to go back into it.

I talked to people walking by but no one responded.

Craig?

The Ruler is becoming heavy.

It's passing through my fingers.

Through my hand.

Craig?

Craig?

Are you still in the room?

Eric Nelson is going through an evaluation of his mental state.

They still have a lot more questions to ask him.

About, what he was doing inside the

Prorolis company building.

Eric Nelson was trying to get into

a research laboratory he walked to an

employee who's working that night and

asked the employee to open up the lab

for him, and when the employee wouldn't

open up the lab for him,

Eric Nelson began to strike him.

Eric Nelson lives in town nearby.

He worked for the Prorolis Corporation

until last year.

He says that he'd been hired to obtain

some confidential research data from the

Prorolis Corporation.

This would explain the connection

between him and his other victims.

They were working on the same research project!

So do you have any other strange

sensations, discomforts, anything that you

haven't mentioned to us already?

I missed a stair step Friday night,

and I fell on my right arm.

Um, do you want to show us the spot?

Right in there.

Does it hurt intensely?

No.

Lift your left arm as high as you can of course.

I can raise my arm and perform most of the Motions that I could perform before the accident.

No, he was unconscious.

I followed him outside when the cops

escorted him to the car

and tossed him in the back seat.

Yeah apparently he may have committed

crimes in other states.

And he lives a few miles from here.

Oh, did you see Steve?

Yeah he was in Dana Hall yesterday, he came back Sunday.

And I was talking to him he says his

brother is staying in an area with a lot

of hot Mineral Springs.

In Centerville,

the places are all around there.

My Uncle stayed in the area last year.

Uh, he showed me a picture.

There's a lot of places you can stay and

swim in the spring.

He says a lot of tourists go there

to swim in them.

Yeah apparently it's one of the area's

main attractions.

Some people go there to swim in the

water for therapeutic reasons.

He stopped there on his way back.

Says, uh, in some places the water can be

really hot.

Yeah steam actually arises from the ground

in some spots.

Not very long.

Less than a day.

He didn't get to see the whole town.

Craig?

My husband spotted a coyote near that tree.

It stood there for several seconds then went away.

The area seems quiet.

We have neighbors further up the road.

I went to Qualis, last summer.

Some of the houses we used to walk by

are still there.

Did you see the new shopping plaza?

Yeah!

I stopped at a restaurant inside the

plaza to get some lunch.

I live in a building near the subway station.

A wall used to divide this room into two

smaller rooms.

We knocked down the wall.

We've been in this neighborhood for

almost two years.

You've turned this into a really neat room.

We repaired the walls. Then John and I

painted them. Before that you could see

crack lines extending from the ceiling.

Were these taken while you were in Arrington?

The pictures were taken a few miles away

in 'Bury.

It's been many years since I've been in the area.

I haven't seen pictures of your kids.

Is this Mike?

That's him.

And the young man in this picture is Craig?

It's Craig.

The picture was taken last year.

He looks younger than his brother.

Had things been different, he would

have finished his fourth year of medical

school in June.

We have a room next to the living room.
