help you get control of them,

but there's no cure.

And even if I could cure you, I wouldn't.

You're one of a kind.

I don't care.

I wanna go home.

Well... one challenge at a time.

It's called a cheiroscope.

Come on. Let's go.

Right now your mind is like an open tent.

Anyone could sneak in.

If we were to drop you

in a heavily populated area...

- Well, you know what would happen.

- Brookridge.

Uh-huh. Or worse. In Brookridge

you found a way to shut the tent.

- You're talking about my books.

- Right.

Books helped you focus your mind

and shut out the voices.

Now you have to learn to do the same

thing with the minds, but the key...

is to do it one mind at a time.

(Michael) All right.

It's OK. It's OK. Come on.

Let's go.

Put this on you...

OK. Your mind will only hear

what your eyes see, so look at me.

Keep them on me. Now...

All right. Blocks down.

(garbled voices)

You're hearing other voices.

Let them go.

Don't give them power.

Concentrate.

Come on. Come on, listen only

to my thoughts. Focus on my voice.

Let all the rest go.

Find the silence. Find it.

- (voices stop)

- That's it.

OK. Come back.

You're doing great.

Very good. Now let's try it again.

Circle.

Wavy lines.

Star?

Excellent.

OK, this time

I want you to close your eyes.

Close my eyes? Why?

You'll see.

(garbled voices)

So I can never close my eyes again?

Well, with practice,

there's nothing you can't do.

Your eyes select what you're gonna read.

It's called active telepathy.

- With your eyes closed, it's passive.

- You mean insanity.

No. I mean power.

With passive telepathy, you can read

minds whether you see people or not.

Look, if you can control the voices

with your eyes closed,

you can read thoughts behind you,

through walls... just about anywhere.

What about when I sleep?

My eyes are closed then.

Do I dream other people's

dreams, or nightmares?

See, there you go.

That's very creative.

- I didn't think about that.

- What else didn't you think about?

I don't know.

I have to think about it.

Why can I only read your thoughts

when you want me to?

Because then we'd have nothing

to talk about, and I enjoy our little chats.

All right. It's called "blocking".

A little mental discipline I developed

over the years. It quiets my thoughts.

What are you thinking about right now?

You.

Circle... square...

star... square... wavy lines.

- I don't know about this.

- That's the point.

Till now you've read minds

because you wanted to.

In the world, it's gonna be because you

have to. It's gonna become instinctual.

Elizabeth?

Elizabeth is gonna approach

and attack you.

Try and listen for her intentions.
