Brainstorm Page #2

Synopsis: Brilliant researchers Lillian Reynolds and Michael Brace have developed a system of recording and playing back actual experiences of people. Once the capability of tapping into "higher brain functions" is added in, and you can literally jump into someone else's head and play back recordings of what he or she was thinking, feeling, seeing, etc., at the time of the recording, the applications for the project quickly spiral out of control. While Michael Brace uses the system to become close again to Karen Brace, his estranged wife who also works on the project, others start abusing it for intense sexual experiences and other logical but morally questionable purposes. The government tries to kick Michael and Lillian off the project once the vast military potential of the technology is discovered. It soon becomes obvious that the government is interested in more than just missile guidance systems. The lab starts producing mind torture recordings and other psychosis inducing material. When o

...to knock my socks off. Okay?

Good!

And thanks.

Don't lose that.

You did it again, Alex.

Thank you.

Any problem working with Karen?

No. Not for me.

Thanks, Mike.

I told you to get out of the pool.

He pays no attention.

I'll get him, honey.

Hurry up!

Dr. Brace, I'd like to introduce

Dr. Harris and Dr. Bock.

Call me Ted.

You saw the house before.

Yeah, yeah, we're sold.

We just want to get all the details.

- We signed all the papers today.

- Good.

- That's for you.

- Hey, Dad, is that it?

- That's what you wanted.

- All right. You got the right one.

Say thank you.

As you can see...

...this is a very special house.

I spent a lot of time to get it right.

Why don't you show them

the secret closet?

Good idea. Right this way.

The house is wonderful. Ted loves

all the special things you've done.

Do you like them?

No.

- It's theirs now.

- I know.

I can't stay here now.

Oh, well, that's okay. I can...

...take care of all the packing and stuff.

- You sure?

- Sure.

It's a lot to do.

Do you have cardboard boxes?

Yes, I have cardboard boxes.

I can take care of it all. Don't worry.

You could go live over at the center.

Lillian's there.

This is Flight Simulation Lab Control.

Sold your house yet?

Yep.

I keep telling you

the rooms at the center are so cheap.

I know.

At 9:
38 p.m. pilot Gordon Forbes is

performing a low-level simulated assault.

Range:
100 yards and closing.

Ninety-five.

Ninety. Simulated altitude, 60 feet.

Ground speed, 512 knots.

Assault range, 85.

Eighty.

It's not worth it, Gordy! Don't do it!

Pilot Forbes, you're...

...off of the simulation.

Sweet target in sight.

Dr. Reynolds, Dr. Brace...

...your pilot has lost control.

Ready.

- Helmet's on?

- Yeah.

Contact. Okay, let's get in.

How's that? Okay.

Give me the seat belts.

Okay, Gordy. Hit it.

Great gas pedal. Let's go!

Come on, Gordy!

Yeah, I'm comin'. Wait a minute.

Tallyho! Here we go!

- I'm gonna die. I'm freezing!

- You're gonna make history!

- It's a little chilly. It's gonna be great!

- I don't wanna go! It's too cold!

Come on. One more time for science.

It's gonna rain, Gordy. Let's go home!

- Too cold. It's not even...

- Come on, come on.

We're gonna do it. Come on, get in.

Nobody is gonna put a thing like that

on their head.

It's gotta be pared down

to the absolute essentials.

Just enough to house the sensors.

You know, it can't look intimidating.

What do I care what it looks like!

Put a chip here...

...another here...

...here...

...an op. Amp, spread flat across.

That's all. Just do it.

- Put the rest of the stuff remote.

- Sure.

How's that?

It's good.

Good night, all.

Don't fall!
