Unstable, unreliable.
That is because their unique gifts
are not understood, Mr. Keller.
there's no doubt at all,
and that is that ConSec was attacked.
For our own peace of mind,
we have to retaliate in some way.
And I think Dr. Ruth's suggestion
is a very interesting one.
Except that... we don't have
any scanners left to send into the field.
As a matter of fact...
I do have one still unaffiliated.
A very special one.
I don't suppose you speak much.
No.
It's not surprising.
With all those other voices in your head,
how can you hear your own voice?
How can you develop a self, a personality?
How do you feel?
I feel... crystal clear.
How do you like it? Clarity.
I'm not sure.
I think I'm a bit afraid.
Why?
I feel so exposed.
I can hear myself.
- You hear your own voice?
- Yes.
- Good.
- You called me a scanner.
What is that?
A freak of nature,
born with a certain form of ESP.
A derangement of the synapses,
which we call telepathy.
It could be a disease, possibly.
Or a result of radiation.
We don't really know why.
Who are you?
My name is Dr. Paul Ruth.
I'm a psycho-pharmacist by trade,
specializing
in the phenomenon of scanners.
The woman in the shopping mall,
what were you doing to her?
I wasn't doing anything to her.
It was her.
She was... forcing me...
'To what?'
'The 50 people that were here
appeared to disturb you.
- 'Why was that?'
- 'They talked too loud.
- 'They talked, and they talked...'
- 'Really?
'I didn't see their lips move, did you?'
'No, it was the other voices, the ones
without lips. They were drowning me.'
I couldn't stop them.
The injection I gave you, with the needle,
- what happened to the voices?
- They stopped.
The drug is called Ephemerol.
It's a scanner-suppressant.
It does nothing
when it's given to ordinary human beings.
When given to a scanner,
it prevents the flow of telepathy.
It stops the voices.
- It can help you.
- How do you know these things?
It's my profession.
This is Mr. Keller.
Will my car be ready this evening?
'Tell us what you did, please, Darryl.'
- 'I drilled a hole in my head.'
- 'Where? '
'It's kind of obvious, isn't it? Right here.'
'Why did you do it, Darryl?
Why did you drill the hole?'
'Too much pressure.
'To lessen pressure.'
'You wanted to let the pressure out? You
wanted to let something out of your head?'
'Listen, I can't get anything past you, can I?'
'You wanted to let something
out of your head?'
- 'Uh-huh.'
- 'What?'
'People.
'The people in my head.
They're from the Devil.'
'You mean the voices?'
'No. All people. Arms, legs, hands.'
'What's that you've put over the hole?'
