Living Hell Page #2

Did she mention the name of the program?

No.

My mother

was disturbed. So...

Maybe none of this is true.

So just tell me that I'm wrong,

and that I have nothing to worry about.

And I'll apologize, and I'll...

I'll go back to teaching my high school

biology class in Trenton, New Jersey.

And why are you coming to us now?

I've been trying to forget

what my mother said my entire life.

But I was up one night...

I was Googling on the Web, and I saw

that they were tearing down Fort Lambert.

And I tried to call.

But I couldn't get anywhere.

So I got in my car, and I...

I just drove straight here.

As you were.

With your permission...

- I think we're finished here.

- Hold on a second.

Sir?

Proceed, Freeborn.

Tell us exactly what your mother said.

The best as you can remember her words.

She came into my room at bedtime.

It was two weeks before my 10th birthday.

It was a Sunday night, February 27, 1969.

She told me that she worked

at Fort Lambert.

She told me that there was something

locked away underneath the base.

Something bad.

And that it was up to me to make sure

that it never got disturbed.

She said it was in Sublevel 3, Vault 12.

And then she killed my father.

Mommy, no!

Frank Chalmers Sears, go to your room!

Mr. Sears, are you sure of the words

your mother used to describe the location?

Sublevel 3, Vault 12?

There's nothing in my life

that I'm more sure of.

What'd you get from Washington?

They ran three separate searches,

with three different spellings

of the name Sears... It's nothing.

Mr. And Mrs. Freeborn...

Your report says Sublevel 3 was cleared

Vault 12 was empty.

- We wanna have another look.

- Washington has no record

of an Eleanore Sears

in the employ of the US Military.

I've checked every branch.

Fortunately, that means nothing.

Tell me what you're not telling me.

Carrie and I found gaps

in the documentation of the activities

on this base during the summer of 1958.

High electricity consumption,

material deliveries

when official records

show no programs in operation.

And how does that impact

the accomplishment of our mission?

- Here. Today.

- Potentially in every way.

We suspect a secret program

was staged here in 1958.

There's no hard evidence yet,

but the residue of such

a program might still exist.

We can't ignore

what Frank Sears is telling us.

The 1950s was the black hole

of secret Cold War programs.

After Hiroshima, our military believed

future wars would be won

in a laboratory, not on a battlefield.

Unknown billions were spent,

secret laboratories set up

all over the country,

the best scientific minds enlisted to create

the warfare techniques of the future.
