- Morning, sir.
Welcome back, Rainbird.
- How was Venice?
Sinking.
- Is our problem there solved?
- Our problem there is solved.
- Dr Wanless is here.
- Christ, there goes a beautiful day.
Ah, the good doctor.
What do you want, Joe?
- Have you caught them yet?
- We'll catch them. What do you want?
What do I always want?
Why do I stay alive?
To try to persuade you
to sanction them both,
expunge them,
wipe them from the face of the earth.
Andrew McGee and his daughter
constitute the greatest threat
that's confronted this nation.
- That's a lot of crap.
- You feel guilt!
Eight out of ten of our young volunteers
have died, committed suicide.
You want to justify your participation.
You were all in favour of it at the time.
I know.
I didn't realise.
None of us did.
Lot Six was nothing more
than a synthetic copy of pituitary extract.
- A powerful painkiller hallucinogen.
- For God's sake, Joe, don't start again.
You see...
You see...
This pituitary extract is responsible
for the occasional flashes of psi ability
which most human beings demonstrate
from time to time.
Precognition, telekinesis,
mental domination,
the kind of domination that this
experiment brought out in Andrew McGee.
What is the point, Doctor?
Since this child was born, her father has
tried to inhibit her use of those powers.
But what if his control
had weakened now?
after all these years?
Ask yourself this question.
How exhausting must it have been
when this child was an infant?
The bottle is late. The baby cries.
And at that moment, one of her stuffed
toys right there in the crib beside her
bursts into smoky flame.
Joe, she's just a little girl.
She can light fires, yes,
but you're making her sound
like Armageddon.
That's what it might well be.
Suppose lighting fires
is merely the tip of the iceberg.
I don't know what you're talking about.
that is directly linked
to this child's pituitary gland,
undeveloped pituitary gland.
What happens when she becomes
adolescent and that sleeping gland wakes
and becomes, for 20 months, the most
powerful force in the human body?
Suppose we have a child here
who some day is capable
of creating a nuclear explosion
simply by the power of her will.
- That's insane.
- Is it? Is it?
Then allow me to progress
from insanity to utter lunacy.
Suppose there is a little girl out there
somewhere today, this morning,
who has within her,
lying dormant at present,
the power some day
to crack the very planet in two,
