Scanners Page #4

from your brain... to his heart.

I want your brain to make his heart...

beat faster.

If his heart beats too quickly,

then he will take over control of his heart...

and slow it down.

Don't worry about him. All you have to do...

is make his heart beat faster.

Fast...

Fast.

Fast.

Fast.

Faster. Faster...

Faster. Faster!

Faster!

Aaargh!

End your scan.

End it!

- Stop him!

- End it!

End it!

You were right, Dr. Ruth.

It was easy.

This man's name is Benjamin Pierce.

These photographs were taken in a prison

for the criminally insane.

There's another one.

This is a plaster cast of him

at present on display

in the Crostic Art Gallery

He's our only lead.

A known scanner who may or may not

be part of Revok's underground.

Why was he in prison?

He tried to kill his entire family.

His father, his sister,

mother.

At the age of ten. That was in 1958.

A few years later, he was released.

They say here...

"Rehabilitation through art."

The man has incredible power, doesn't he?

Power?

Oh, yes, he does.

I'm Arno Crostic.

I'm pleased you came to my gallery.

Are you an aficionado of Benjamin Pierce?

I'm interested in buying this piece

for my apartment in Paris.

- Yes?

- I don't think it'll work out

unless I can get to meet the artist first.

I'm afraid, no.

I hope it won't prejudice you

against acquiring this piece

but I would lose Benjamin Pierce for good

if I even approached him with the idea.

You see, it's part of our agreement.

He will not meet his public.

Maybe you could just tell me where he lives.

Then I could approach him myself

and you wouldn't be involved.

I'm afraid I can't.

Then maybe you could just

think about where he lives.

Excuse me.

I'm suddenly... feeling ill.

Arno, what's the matter?

- Are you OK?

- I will be all right.

Let me take you back to your office.

You've got to lie down.

That's it, take my arm. I'll help you.

Benjamin Pierce?

Why don't you leave me alone?

I need some help.

You're the only one that could give it to me.

Is that right?

- Me?

- Yes.

Then I think you're in big trouble, chum.

I've heard you know

a man named Darryl Revok.

Who are you?

I was told

you were coming to pay me a visit, Mr. Vale.

How did you know that?

How did I know that? Well...

I have friends.

I don't want them...

but I have them.

Scanner friends?

What do you mean by that?

I'm one of you.

- You're one of me.

- Yes.

You know what I think?

I think you'd better tell me

what you really want.

It's the voices in my head.

They're driving me crazy.

How do you stop them, your voices?

My art.

My art keeps me sane.

My art...

Sane...

I don't have anything like this.
