That's right, that's right. Now, where

does it go when y-you touch somebody?

- It just goes out.

So ener- So, so electricity,

like energy, uh,

just-just, um, uh, recycles.

It flows in a cycle that d-doesn't end.

It-It, uh-

Are you all right?

Mr. Ripley?

Are you okay?

The local news and

those Channel 5 people are outside.

So is Jimmy Hobbs

from the newspaper.

- Tell them to go home.

- Oh, come on, Doug.

They ain't goin' anywhere 'til somebody

goes out there and talks to 'em.

Tell them there's no fatalities, no sex

scandal. That will get rid of them fast.

Goddamn it, Doug,

I sound like a moron...

- if I say more than five words to those people,

and you know it. - Well, if the shoe fits-

Dr. Tarentino,

you're wanted in Pediatrics.

But I can't do it. I've got

no authorization to do anything.

- I can't let you go anywhere-

- Hi, Doc.

Here we go, here we go. Doug, Doug, tell

Duane that it's okay for me to see that kid.

- Thank you.

- Donald, you're just the man I wanted to see.

I got 20 different kids

telling me 20 different stories.

Right. Uh, if I hadn't seen it myself,

I'd say it was impossible.

It was a model. For God sakes,

it picked him right out of his seat.

- What did?

- Hold it! Ho-Hold it, Doug.

The kid doesn't have a scratch on him.

Heart rate's a little irregular,

but nothing to indicate the kind of

electrical shock you're talking about.

Right, right! And he's got a hole,

uh, burned in his shirt...

the size of a bowling ball.

Something's happened here.

Something's happened here. I'm telling

you, with everything we know about science,

about the makeup of the human body,

what happened in that classroom

is impossible!

That kid attracted an arc

of electricity from 30 feet away!

And not just from the Jacob's ladder. I

mean, after a second, it was like it was...

comin' at him out

of the whole... building.

- You want to know why there isn't a hair on him?

- Why?

Because he is electrolysis.

It can't grow on him.

- Doc Roth?

- Yes?

- Can I see you for a minute?

- Excuse me.

- Excuse me.

- Dr. McGrail and Dr. Cain to C.C.U.

- Drink that in.

- Dr. McGrail and Dr. Cain to C.C.U.

I will.

Nobody saw him leave his room,

- but his clothes are gone too.

- Find him.

He can't have gotten far.

Dr. Brodnick, call 2-9-2.

- Dr. Brodnick, 2-9-2, please.

- Lucy, come in.

Hey.

Zack! Zachary!

Zack, come here.

Come here, boy.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Watch out. He bites.

The family before us

made him pretty mean, so-

Wow, I can't believe I'm looking at you.

Are you okay?

I didn't mean to scare anybody.

- The whole thing was pretty embarrassing really.

- Embarrassing?

You're kidding, right?
