The Dead Pit (1989) Movie Script
- Doc, Doc hold my calls please.
I don't have time Doc.
Hold my calls.
- I can't cover up for
you any longer Colin.
Whatever you're doing
to them has to stop.
- Are you going to stop me Joe?
- I don't know you anymore.
- You never did.
- What the...
Formaldehyde?
- You don't look well Gerald.
Let me help you.
- You're supposed to
be doing research.
This is sick!
My god, you're a doctor.
You're supposed to
be saving lives.
- I've done life.
Now I'm doing death.
- You're a fucking maniac.
- Think your last
thought Doctor.
You can't kill me.
Hey, hey.
- Nurse Robbins.
Please take Mrs. Simmons
to the F ward, third down,
and make sure she
knows the rules.
- Yes Nurse Kygar.
- You next.
From what it says here you were
found wandering the streets
with no identification and
no idea of who you are.
Is that correct?
- Yes, but I don't belong
in a place like this.
- And what do you mean,
"a place like this?"
- I can't remember my past,
that doesn't make me crazy.
- The court psychiatrist
evaluated you
and decided that this
is the perfect place
for you to receive therapy.
- I don't need therapy.
I just need to get out of here.
- Right now you are
a ward of the state.
Your psychiatric
condition and memory loss
are the reasons we're forced
to intervene on your own...
- I didn't lose my memory,
it was taken from me.
I told them it was taken.
Move.
- They need help.
They're need help.
The people in the
cellar need help.
- Get down on the floor
and cover your head.
- They need help.
- What?
- The people in the
cellar need help.
It's alright.
- They want out, the
people in the cellar,
you have to let them out,
you have to help them.
It's
only an earthquake.
Okay everybody the
earthquake seems to be over.
- Please.
Let them out.
Can't you hear them?
The people in the
cellar need help.
Let them out!
- Nurse Kygar.
- Let them out!
- I need help.
- They need help.
They need help.
They need help.
- Good morning.
How do you feel today?
- Fine.
- I'm Nurse Robbins, I'll
be showing you around a bit.
We'll get you some breakfast
before your session
with Dr. Swan.
- Who's he?
- Oh he's the head
psychiatrist here.
You'll like him.
- Oh Jane, come in.
I'm Dr. Swan.
Why don't you come over
here and have a seat.
How are you?
I was concerned
about what happened
after the earthquake yesterday.
- Earthquake?
- Do you remember what happened?
- Yeah.
I was with the nurse and
everything started to shake.
She pushed me into the hall.
After that I went black.
I must've fainted or something.
- Do you remember seeing me
in the hallway yesterday?
- No.
- Let's talk about amnesia.
I've treated quite
a few cases here
that are similar to yours
and through hypnotherapy we
can trigger core memories
which can eventually lead to
partial or even total recall.
- I'm not like your other
cases, I don't have amnesia.
- What do you think it is then?
- You'll think I'm crazy,
like the people who
threw me in here.
- Try me.
- Well I don't remember my past,
but I remember how I lost it.
Someone or something
took my memory from me.
I was on a table in
an operating room
and my head was open and
then my memories were cut out
and then the, I know how
it sounds, but it's true.
- Well it sounds as if
you've been through
some terrible trauma.
We'll have to take this nice
and slow one step at a time.
I think hypnotherapy
will open some doors
and we should start
that tomorrow.
Now if you feel up to it
why don't you take a
walk around the grounds.
Get some fresh air.
- Alright.
Civilization will be the
death of humanity.
He's trying,
really sometimes.
- Cat man.
Do you know where my cat man is?
Oh Toots.
Toots, cat man.
- Oh no I thought maybe
we could get out of
here this weekend.
- You're gonna
get me in trouble.
How was your session
with Dr. Swan?
- It was alright.
- This is Christian Meyers.
Watch out for him, he's a flirt.
- Only with beautiful nurses.
My friends call me Chris.
- I can't tell you my real name,
I call myself Jane, Jane Doe.
- So you're a double agent then
like Mr. Kinski over there.
- Jane has amnesia.
- I don't remember my
past, that's why I'm here.
- I'm sorry Jane
give it some time.
People here want to help,
it's not such a bad place.
- Robbins I was expecting you
in Iso ward 10 minutes ago.
- I'm sorry Nurse Kygar
I forgot the time.
- I don't want it
to happen again.
- There's some
real horror stories
around here about Nurse Kygar.
- I'm not surprised.
- Like she tortures
those poor bastards
up in Iso ward just for kicks.
- Iso ward?
- Isolation, upstairs.
It's where they keep the
real crazies locked up.
- So many people stuck in here.
- Nothing like it was
in the 50s and 60s.
See all those
buildings out there?
They were full back then,
but when the government
funding dried up
they let all the loonies
out onto the street.
This building's
the last outpost.
- Why are you here?
You don't seem crazy.
- I've been known to get
crazy from time to time.
I like to blow things up.
Demolitions expert in the
service, kind of stuck.
So there was this
little incident
and I had some psychiatric
treatment before
so my lawyer gets me a
couple of months in here
instead of six
months in the pen.
- Have you got a cig?
Chris, you got a cig?
- Sure Bud.
- I got me one bad headache man.
One bad headache, since
that shaker, that did it.
- Jane this is Bud.
Bud worries a lot,
but he's harmless.
- Of course I am,
of course I am.
Teasing, you know
all the time teasing.
Oh it's nice to meet you,
it's a pleasure, a pleasure.
So, hey you want to
play some cards tonight?
- Sure.
- Oh good, good.
You want to play bridge?
Bridge, Buddy,
Buddy, poker's the game.
Poker, poker huh?
I could do poker, okay good.
- Who is that out there?
- Oh yeah, that's the crazy nun.
- Yep, that's Sister
Clair, she's out of it,
but I've never seen her do
anything like this before.
Hey, Sister Clair,
what're you doing?
Holding a prayer
meeting without us?
No, no.
- Stop, please stop it!
- Hey take it easy,
everything's okay.
What's
going on here Meyers?
- Nothing to be
concerned about Jensen.
Just talking about the
playoffs, got a bit excited.
- Yeah the playoffs,
the game, the big game.
- Bullshit Meyers.
You know the rules pal.
- Right Mr. Jensen.
- I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
I should've left
the old nun alone.
- Jessica, double shift huh?
- Double time,
double money Jimmy.
- Well aren't you ambitious?
- No I promised myself a trip
to New Orleans for
the Mardi Gras.
- How is it down here tonight?
- It's quiet.
- I wish I could say
the same for isolation.
Everyone of them nuts is
up banging, screaming.
It's very creepy.
- I wonder what's
agitating them.
Right.
Is everything okay Jane?
- I was just going
to the bathroom.
- Are you having
trouble sleeping?
- Yeah.
Nightmares.
- Look I'm gonna
be here all night
if you need me
for anything okay?
Just come to the
nurses' station.
- Thanks.
- Jensen, have you
seen Nurse Robbins?
- No one's where they're
supposed be today pal.
- Excuse me Nurse Kygar I've
been looking for Nurse Robbins.
She hasn't been around all day.
- That's right, she hasn't.
And she didn't fill out her
patient reports last night.
She left her post and
there's no excuse for that.
- I'm sure she'll
have a good reason.
I saw her car outside.
She'll probably be back soon.
She's not coming back.
- What do you mean by that?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
- Just sit back and relax.
It's a simple
procedure actually.
I just want you to
breath deeply, regularly,
and watch the pendulum.
Keep your eyes on the
pendulum and relax.
Deeply relax.
That's it, fall back.
Let go.
Deeper.
Deeper.
Now I want you to go back.
Back to the time
when you were happy.
What are you doing?
- Playing on the monkey bars.
- And how old are you?
- Three years old.
What's your name?
- Sara.
- What's your last name Sara?
- I don't know.
Where's your mother Sara?
- Here she comes, she's running.
We have to go, we have to hide.
- Where are you going?
- Far away, we're
moving safe, far away.
- Where is your daddy Sara?
- I'm not supposed
to talk about Daddy.
- It's okay to talk to me.
- No, no not ever.
No.
- Sara?
- I...
- Sara.
Sara!
- No, don't call me Sara.
Mama will be so
mad at me.
- Jane snap out of it.
Jane, come out of
it, come out of it.
- What happened, why are you
standing over me like that?
- A deep memory was
triggered by the hypnosis.
Nothing to be alarmed about.
- What was it?
- Well I'd prefer to wait
a few sessions before we...
- I don't, I want
to know what it was.
- Alright, alright I'll tell
you if you'll calm down.
It seems your mother might
have taken you away from
your father at a very early age.
It was a traumatic
experience for you.
She might've tried to change
your names, your identities,
which could be a
link to the amnesia.
- I don't have amnesia.
I don't want to be
hypnotized again.
I told you what
happened to my memory.
- That would be a mistake Jane.
It seems to work
very well for you.
- Dr. Swan I have a terrible
sense of danger here.
I can't sleep at night.
This place gives me nightmares.
- Through further hypnotherapy
I think you'll find that
it's not this place,
but things in your past that
are causing the nightmares.
Yes?
- I'm sorry Dr. Swan,
but we have an emergency
in the common room.
One of the patients is code red.
You wait right there.
- I'm gonna cut out his brain.
I'm gonna cut it out.
His brain man!
- What are you doing Bud, you're
out of here in two months.
You're really blowing it.
Jensen's not worth a shit.
You don't believe in violence
remember we talked
about it, huh?
What the fuck's the
matter with you?
This is me, Chris.
- Chris.
- Chris.
- You crazy lunatic.
- What are you doing?
You don't have to hurt him.
- That's enough.
Get him upstairs and
put him in a jacket.
- This whole place guys.
You're all fools!
This place is going down.
You're all going down!
No, no!
No!
Take this.
- How did he get this?
- The east wing supply room
was broken into last night.
I have no idea how he did it.
There were other
items missing as well.
- Well check his room
and anywhere else
where he might've hidden
something like this.
I don't want a repeat
of this incident.
- Of course Doctor.
- What happened with him?
- I don't know.
He's been having these
headaches ever since the quake.
How does that turn a sweet,
funny, harmless little guy
like that into a
card carrying psycho?
You tell me what's
going on Doctor.
- No.
No.
I don't want to think anymore.
No more thoughts.
No more.
God.
God.
- What the hell?
Damn.
Son of a bitch.
Fucking nut.
Shit.
Alright, qualified
for the marathon.
It's time to go back.
Oh jeez.
I'm the
head surgeon here.
- No.
No!
No!
- Come on now tell
me what's wrong?
- No, no.
- What's wrong?
Breathe.
Dr. Swan says you've
been having nightmares.
- It wasn't a nightmare.
- Why don't you take
a few deep breaths
so you can tell
me what happened.
- Come on.
- I thought I saw someone.
I thought...
Maybe it was a nightmare.
Poor girl.
- Come here.
- No!
- Let me ease your mind.
- No.
No!
- No!
- Orderly.
Orderly.
- No!
No.
- Get her a shot.
- No, no, no.
- Orderly.
- I've got her.
- The door was open
when I came in.
- I've checked
everywhere, he's gone.
- What does the report say?
- Jimmy didn't fill one out.
It's pure negligence.
- What are you doing here?
- I came to check in on Bud.
- Too late man, he's vanished.
- What do you mean
he's vanished?
- Dr. Swan.
- Yes?
- I found something,
look, it's human isn't it?
- Where'd you get this?
- Well since that
Bud guy was gone
I figured I'd eat his breakfast,
but this was on the plate.
Doesn't look like
French toast to me.
- Look I don't know
what's going on here.
- I want to know where Bud is
and Nurse Robbins hasn't
been here for two days.
- She probably ran off with
the night orderly Jimmy.
She was always
sniffing after him.
- You know that isn't true.
- Orderly take Meyers downstairs
and make sure the duty nurses
are aware that he's
having a hard day.
You're a good nurse
Kygar, a good nurse.
- Wake up, Jane wake up,
you're having a dream.
It's a dream Jane.
It's almost lunch time.
I let you sleep in this morning.
You were given a
sedative late last night.
- I was told about the
nightmare you had last night.
- Is it still troubling you?
- Yes.
Would you
like to tell me about it?
- You'll think I'm crazy.
- I want to win your trust Jane.
You should be able to tell
me anything, I'll listen.
- I need help.
- Of course you do Jane
and I want to help you.
- Well you know I believe
that my memory loss
wasn't by accident, that it
was taken from me surgically.
The surgeon who took it is here.
He was outside my
window last night
and he threw
someone's head at me
and I ran out to tell the nurse
and he was there waiting for me.
Calling me.
You don't believe me.
- I believe you saw it Jane,
but the nurse and the orderly
in the hall with
you saw nothing.
- Then I must be insane
because he was as clear
to me as you are now.
- Not insane Jane, confused.
Some of the doors in your
mind are still closed.
Probably because of that
trauma you can't remember.
I'd like to put you
under hypnosis again.
Maybe we can get at what's
locked up in your subconscious.
Let's go back to the day
you were found
wandering in the park.
How did you get there?
- I walked to the park
from the hospital.
- What hospital?
- I don't know.
I only saw the inside
of the operating room.
The room where I
had the operation.
- Describe the room.
- I'm laying on a table.
I can't see the walls.
And I'm cold, I'm cold.
He doesn't want me to be afraid.
- Who doesn't want
you to be afraid?
- The surgeon.
I don't want this
to happen to me.
I don't want him to touch me.
He smells like death,
like formaldehyde.
I can't stand the smell.
- What does he look like?
- I can't look at him.
He's hideous.
- How?
- There's something
wrong with his eyes
and he's got a hole in his...
No.
No!
- Jane, Jane, snap out of
it Jane, snap out of it.
- You can never kill me Gerald.
- What kind of trick
are you playing on me?
- No trick Gerald.
You can never kill me.
But I can kill you Gerald
and I will through her.
What happened?
- Get out.
Get out I said, get out!
Nurse Kygar I think you
were right about Jane Doe.
What's her sedative does?
Well double that and
put her on Thorazine.
Tonight?
- Yes tonight.
And Nurse Kygar keep her
under strict observation.
- As you say Doctor.
Happy birthday.
Nobody hurt my baby.
Nobody hurt my baby.
Nobody hurt my baby.
What do you want?
- I need your help.
I have to get out of here.
- What's your hurry?
- Please, I know I have
nothing to offer but...
- You're right about that,
I've got enough problems.
I want to know what you meant
when you said Jessica
wasn't coming back.
- It was a feeling,
I had a feeling.
- Well she hasn't come
back and now Bud's missing.
Suddenly everyone in
here is going ape shit
and I want to know why.
- It's the surgeon.
- Surgeon?
What are you talking about?
- He killed a man last
night, I saw him, he's here.
He's the same one that
took my memory from me.
- You're a fucking nut.
- Please listen to me,
I know it sounds crazy,
but I'm telling you the truth.
- Alright I'm listening.
- He's in that old building
with the clock tower.
I think he has people
locked up in the cellar.
Maybe even Nurse Robbins.
- You're right it
sounds completely crazy.
- Confess, confess!
Death is near.
From the valley of darkness
the shadows draw near.
Make your confession!
Confess.
Confess!
- Cat man.
- I can't get it off.
Come on, oh come on.
- Alright, you and I are going
to check out that
building tonight.
- I'm scared.
- If any of what you say is true
then I'll get both of
us out of here, deal?
- Okay.
- Tonight, don't take your
medication, don't swallow it.
- You'll sleep well tonight.
- Are you ready?
- It was hard to fake
swallowing all these pills.
- Jesus Christ.
They've been giving you Thorazine,
would've wiped you out.
Come on we've got to hurry.
Listen to
the French, chapter six.
If I'm guilty of
the sin of avarice
and greed and using others
and coveting other's goods
and Adam if you
are you must repent
because if you do not repent
it will be everlasting death.
If you die you will be dead
and you will not rise again.
Oh lord you must in heaven
give us everlasting life.
- I always knew this
door would come in handy.
- How are we gonna get it open?
- I burrowed it
from my bed frame,
just like in all
the prison movies.
- You're going to isolation pal.
- Sara.
- I'm gonna have to watch you
more closely from now on Meyers.
- Fuck you for that.
Damn.
- Wait.
Nurse Robbins?
Where are you?
Nurse Robbins why are
you hiding from me?
Terrible things are happening.
I took your memory.
Nurse Robbins wasn't
so cooperative.
- No, no.
No.
No.
No.
No.
You're going
to be my little secret.
- I feel sick.
I gotta get to a nurse.
Real sick.
Yeah you
don't look so good.
- I feel like puking,
I can't breath.
Like I'm gonna puke.
- I'll get the nurse.
Be a good
girl while I'm gone.
- We're gonna get
that motherfucker.
- Quiet.
- So you been down to that new
donut shop down the street,
what's it called,
The Donut Hole?
- Yeah it's good, but I
like The Universal Donut.
They have apple.
They're monstrous,
they're great.
- You mean the one with the
brown kind of crispy covering?
- Oh yeah, yeah.
- And the black
coffee, nothing like...
What the fuck?
Get out of there,
get out of there!
Hold that there.
- I can't reach
anybody in security.
I'm gonna have to go out
and find that son
of a bitch myself.
- We're so short handed.
I'm going to call Dr. Swan.
- I'm not waiting.
- Yes?
- Dr. Swan, thank god
you're still here.
- What is it Nurse Kygar?
- I think you better come down.
We have an orderly hurt.
One of the patients
broke out of Iso.
- I'll be right there.
- Thank you Doctor.
- Chris it's him.
We have to get out of here.
Those things are out there.
We have to go.
- It's impossible, calm down.
He probably gave you
a drug, it's alright.
Wait, wait.
I thought I heard something.
Bud what the fuck?
- No.
No!
- Let's get the
hell out of here.
- Who's in there?
I'll be
right there Nurse Kygar.
- Nurse Robbins
where have you been?
Open this door immediately.
- Holy shit, there are
more of those things.
- I told you.
- Come on let's get
ourselves a ride.
Orderly.
Nurse Kygar, where is she?
- I think she went
down the hall.
- Damn the distributor's gone.
For dead people
they sure are smart.
- They just keep coming on.
- Let's get to the fence.
- Nurse Kygar.
Nurse Kygar are you
alright in there?
- We won't make it
to the fence come on.
- Can you open it?
- No.
It's locked.
Oh no, somebody!
- Stay away from me.
Stay away from me!
- Shut up.
The line's dead.
- Those things, those things
they're because of her.
She brought him back.
- What are you talking about?
- Today in hypnosis
she spoke in his voice.
Colin Ramzi is out there.
- The surgeon, you
know about him?
- Bastard, you bastard!
- Get her off, get her off.
- It's alright, it's alright.
Come on.
Listen I want to know who
the fuck this Ramzi is
and what he has to do with
those zombies out there.
Now start talking Swan.
- I hadn't that
of it in 20 years.
Colin Ramzi was,
among other things,
the most brilliant
man I've ever met.
He was doing research here
into the organic
causes of insanity.
The linkage between the
physical brain and the mind.
And then somewhere along
the way his genius twisted.
He seemed seduced by death.
He became something evil.
I couldn't let anybody
find out what he was doing.
My career would've
been over too.
I sealed him up in his dead pit.
His wife had left him,
she'd taken the children.
He didn't have any friends.
There was nobody who
wanted to investigate.
Everybody just assumed
he'd disappeared.
It was easy.
I made myself forget.
- So he killed them
and you killed him.
That doesn't explain
why they're alive now.
- The earthquake,
it opened the seal.
- An earthquake is a
natural phenomenon,
this is supernatural.
Colin
Ramzi has come back
from the other side of death.
He's come back for revenge.
- And he's come for me.
- Yes.
He's using you,
can't you see that?
You broke the seal.
- This is no time
for psychoanalysis.
They're swarming out there.
If we don't come
up with a plan soon
we'll be buried in
those dead things.
- Someone's gotta stop him.
I killed him once,
I'll kill him again.
Stay back, stay back.
- With that gun we've all
got a chance to make it.
You can't leave us
without a weapon Swan.
- I have to do this and I
have to do it by myself.
- They're following him.
- Let's try to find
a weapon upstairs.
What are they doing?
- They've got brains
in their hands.
He's dead.
- Where did you get that?
- Holy water, holy
water kills the beasts.
- Where can we get more
of this holy water Sister?
- Any water's holy
if it's blessed.
Can holy water stop
what's happening here?
Stop him?
- The place where the beast
rises must be washed clean.
The desecrated grounds
must be made holy.
- She's talking about the pit.
Putting holy water in the pit.
- Can you bless water Sister?
- I do the prayer.
God does the blessing.
- Can you bless all the
water in that tower Sister?
All of it.
- If it is God's will.
How about you
get in the pit Gerald?
You're flawed Gerald.
I'm going to open you up
and see what the problem is.
- If we can get to the
machine shops near the tower.
I should be able to find
enough material to make a bomb.
- You can do that?
- Oh it's my
specialty I'm afraid.
If my thinking is correct
that tank can be felled
so it falls directly
into the south wing
of the clock tower building.
It'll crack open beautifully.
And a hell of a lot of water
will go into the
basement, into the pit.
- I want to watch him die.
I know when that happens
I'll remember who I am.
- Please.
Please don't cut me.
The brain
is a parasite Gerald.
It attaches to the mind
and gives us physical form.
- Don't cut my brain.
The brain
is the destroyer.
The brain is the
clock that kills us.
- I found another
weapon we can use.
- Cartridges.
I can use this gun
powder as detonator.
- Oh.
Oh.
- Omnipotent.
Glorious.
Amen.
Where for I bless thee
oh pitcher of water,
God by the holy,
God by the true,
God by the omnipotent.
We've just
begun Gerald, just begun.
- It's not fancy,
but it should be enough to
sever one of the trust joints
at the top of the water tower.
- Does it have to be
placed on the top?
- I'm afraid so,
but don't worry, I've
set a long enough fuse.
And once I'm up there
I can set it, light it,
have enough time to get
down before it blows.
It'll be close.
Wait!
That was Jensen.
It's alright, it's alright.
We're going to get out of here.
Here take this.
Come on.
We've got a water balloon
to drop on these assholes.
I'll be back down in
less than 10 minutes.
If one of those things come.
Make a run for it, I'll
meet you at the front gate.
- Alright.
Alright.
Chris.
- I never thanked you for...
- Save it,
for when I get back down.
- Chris.
- Get down.
Get down and run.
Do it now before it's too late.
Go that way, that way,
it's your last chance.
Run away Sara.
- Run!
Dr. Swan wanted me
to give you a piece of his mind.
- Sister Clair.
Help me.
Help.
- Daddy.
Daddy.
- That's right Sara,
you're my flesh and blood.
Come to Daddy.
I don't have time Doc.
Hold my calls.
- I can't cover up for
you any longer Colin.
Whatever you're doing
to them has to stop.
- Are you going to stop me Joe?
- I don't know you anymore.
- You never did.
- What the...
Formaldehyde?
- You don't look well Gerald.
Let me help you.
- You're supposed to
be doing research.
This is sick!
My god, you're a doctor.
You're supposed to
be saving lives.
- I've done life.
Now I'm doing death.
- You're a fucking maniac.
- Think your last
thought Doctor.
You can't kill me.
Hey, hey.
- Nurse Robbins.
Please take Mrs. Simmons
to the F ward, third down,
and make sure she
knows the rules.
- Yes Nurse Kygar.
- You next.
From what it says here you were
found wandering the streets
with no identification and
no idea of who you are.
Is that correct?
- Yes, but I don't belong
in a place like this.
- And what do you mean,
"a place like this?"
- I can't remember my past,
that doesn't make me crazy.
- The court psychiatrist
evaluated you
and decided that this
is the perfect place
for you to receive therapy.
- I don't need therapy.
I just need to get out of here.
- Right now you are
a ward of the state.
Your psychiatric
condition and memory loss
are the reasons we're forced
to intervene on your own...
- I didn't lose my memory,
it was taken from me.
I told them it was taken.
Move.
- They need help.
They're need help.
The people in the
cellar need help.
- Get down on the floor
and cover your head.
- They need help.
- What?
- The people in the
cellar need help.
It's alright.
- They want out, the
people in the cellar,
you have to let them out,
you have to help them.
It's
only an earthquake.
Okay everybody the
earthquake seems to be over.
- Please.
Let them out.
Can't you hear them?
The people in the
cellar need help.
Let them out!
- Nurse Kygar.
- Let them out!
- I need help.
- They need help.
They need help.
They need help.
- Good morning.
How do you feel today?
- Fine.
- I'm Nurse Robbins, I'll
be showing you around a bit.
We'll get you some breakfast
before your session
with Dr. Swan.
- Who's he?
- Oh he's the head
psychiatrist here.
You'll like him.
- Oh Jane, come in.
I'm Dr. Swan.
Why don't you come over
here and have a seat.
How are you?
I was concerned
about what happened
after the earthquake yesterday.
- Earthquake?
- Do you remember what happened?
- Yeah.
I was with the nurse and
everything started to shake.
She pushed me into the hall.
After that I went black.
I must've fainted or something.
- Do you remember seeing me
in the hallway yesterday?
- No.
- Let's talk about amnesia.
I've treated quite
a few cases here
that are similar to yours
and through hypnotherapy we
can trigger core memories
which can eventually lead to
partial or even total recall.
- I'm not like your other
cases, I don't have amnesia.
- What do you think it is then?
- You'll think I'm crazy,
like the people who
threw me in here.
- Try me.
- Well I don't remember my past,
but I remember how I lost it.
Someone or something
took my memory from me.
I was on a table in
an operating room
and my head was open and
then my memories were cut out
and then the, I know how
it sounds, but it's true.
- Well it sounds as if
you've been through
some terrible trauma.
We'll have to take this nice
and slow one step at a time.
I think hypnotherapy
will open some doors
and we should start
that tomorrow.
Now if you feel up to it
why don't you take a
walk around the grounds.
Get some fresh air.
- Alright.
Civilization will be the
death of humanity.
He's trying,
really sometimes.
- Cat man.
Do you know where my cat man is?
Oh Toots.
Toots, cat man.
- Oh no I thought maybe
we could get out of
here this weekend.
- You're gonna
get me in trouble.
How was your session
with Dr. Swan?
- It was alright.
- This is Christian Meyers.
Watch out for him, he's a flirt.
- Only with beautiful nurses.
My friends call me Chris.
- I can't tell you my real name,
I call myself Jane, Jane Doe.
- So you're a double agent then
like Mr. Kinski over there.
- Jane has amnesia.
- I don't remember my
past, that's why I'm here.
- I'm sorry Jane
give it some time.
People here want to help,
it's not such a bad place.
- Robbins I was expecting you
in Iso ward 10 minutes ago.
- I'm sorry Nurse Kygar
I forgot the time.
- I don't want it
to happen again.
- There's some
real horror stories
around here about Nurse Kygar.
- I'm not surprised.
- Like she tortures
those poor bastards
up in Iso ward just for kicks.
- Iso ward?
- Isolation, upstairs.
It's where they keep the
real crazies locked up.
- So many people stuck in here.
- Nothing like it was
in the 50s and 60s.
See all those
buildings out there?
They were full back then,
but when the government
funding dried up
they let all the loonies
out onto the street.
This building's
the last outpost.
- Why are you here?
You don't seem crazy.
- I've been known to get
crazy from time to time.
I like to blow things up.
Demolitions expert in the
service, kind of stuck.
So there was this
little incident
and I had some psychiatric
treatment before
so my lawyer gets me a
couple of months in here
instead of six
months in the pen.
- Have you got a cig?
Chris, you got a cig?
- Sure Bud.
- I got me one bad headache man.
One bad headache, since
that shaker, that did it.
- Jane this is Bud.
Bud worries a lot,
but he's harmless.
- Of course I am,
of course I am.
Teasing, you know
all the time teasing.
Oh it's nice to meet you,
it's a pleasure, a pleasure.
So, hey you want to
play some cards tonight?
- Sure.
- Oh good, good.
You want to play bridge?
Bridge, Buddy,
Buddy, poker's the game.
Poker, poker huh?
I could do poker, okay good.
- Who is that out there?
- Oh yeah, that's the crazy nun.
- Yep, that's Sister
Clair, she's out of it,
but I've never seen her do
anything like this before.
Hey, Sister Clair,
what're you doing?
Holding a prayer
meeting without us?
No, no.
- Stop, please stop it!
- Hey take it easy,
everything's okay.
What's
going on here Meyers?
- Nothing to be
concerned about Jensen.
Just talking about the
playoffs, got a bit excited.
- Yeah the playoffs,
the game, the big game.
- Bullshit Meyers.
You know the rules pal.
- Right Mr. Jensen.
- I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
I should've left
the old nun alone.
- Jessica, double shift huh?
- Double time,
double money Jimmy.
- Well aren't you ambitious?
- No I promised myself a trip
to New Orleans for
the Mardi Gras.
- How is it down here tonight?
- It's quiet.
- I wish I could say
the same for isolation.
Everyone of them nuts is
up banging, screaming.
It's very creepy.
- I wonder what's
agitating them.
Right.
Is everything okay Jane?
- I was just going
to the bathroom.
- Are you having
trouble sleeping?
- Yeah.
Nightmares.
- Look I'm gonna
be here all night
if you need me
for anything okay?
Just come to the
nurses' station.
- Thanks.
- Jensen, have you
seen Nurse Robbins?
- No one's where they're
supposed be today pal.
- Excuse me Nurse Kygar I've
been looking for Nurse Robbins.
She hasn't been around all day.
- That's right, she hasn't.
And she didn't fill out her
patient reports last night.
She left her post and
there's no excuse for that.
- I'm sure she'll
have a good reason.
I saw her car outside.
She'll probably be back soon.
She's not coming back.
- What do you mean by that?
- I don't know.
I don't know.
- Just sit back and relax.
It's a simple
procedure actually.
I just want you to
breath deeply, regularly,
and watch the pendulum.
Keep your eyes on the
pendulum and relax.
Deeply relax.
That's it, fall back.
Let go.
Deeper.
Deeper.
Now I want you to go back.
Back to the time
when you were happy.
What are you doing?
- Playing on the monkey bars.
- And how old are you?
- Three years old.
What's your name?
- Sara.
- What's your last name Sara?
- I don't know.
Where's your mother Sara?
- Here she comes, she's running.
We have to go, we have to hide.
- Where are you going?
- Far away, we're
moving safe, far away.
- Where is your daddy Sara?
- I'm not supposed
to talk about Daddy.
- It's okay to talk to me.
- No, no not ever.
No.
- Sara?
- I...
- Sara.
Sara!
- No, don't call me Sara.
Mama will be so
mad at me.
- Jane snap out of it.
Jane, come out of
it, come out of it.
- What happened, why are you
standing over me like that?
- A deep memory was
triggered by the hypnosis.
Nothing to be alarmed about.
- What was it?
- Well I'd prefer to wait
a few sessions before we...
- I don't, I want
to know what it was.
- Alright, alright I'll tell
you if you'll calm down.
It seems your mother might
have taken you away from
your father at a very early age.
It was a traumatic
experience for you.
She might've tried to change
your names, your identities,
which could be a
link to the amnesia.
- I don't have amnesia.
I don't want to be
hypnotized again.
I told you what
happened to my memory.
- That would be a mistake Jane.
It seems to work
very well for you.
- Dr. Swan I have a terrible
sense of danger here.
I can't sleep at night.
This place gives me nightmares.
- Through further hypnotherapy
I think you'll find that
it's not this place,
but things in your past that
are causing the nightmares.
Yes?
- I'm sorry Dr. Swan,
but we have an emergency
in the common room.
One of the patients is code red.
You wait right there.
- I'm gonna cut out his brain.
I'm gonna cut it out.
His brain man!
- What are you doing Bud, you're
out of here in two months.
You're really blowing it.
Jensen's not worth a shit.
You don't believe in violence
remember we talked
about it, huh?
What the fuck's the
matter with you?
This is me, Chris.
- Chris.
- Chris.
- You crazy lunatic.
- What are you doing?
You don't have to hurt him.
- That's enough.
Get him upstairs and
put him in a jacket.
- This whole place guys.
You're all fools!
This place is going down.
You're all going down!
No, no!
No!
Take this.
- How did he get this?
- The east wing supply room
was broken into last night.
I have no idea how he did it.
There were other
items missing as well.
- Well check his room
and anywhere else
where he might've hidden
something like this.
I don't want a repeat
of this incident.
- Of course Doctor.
- What happened with him?
- I don't know.
He's been having these
headaches ever since the quake.
How does that turn a sweet,
funny, harmless little guy
like that into a
card carrying psycho?
You tell me what's
going on Doctor.
- No.
No.
I don't want to think anymore.
No more thoughts.
No more.
God.
God.
- What the hell?
Damn.
Son of a bitch.
Fucking nut.
Shit.
Alright, qualified
for the marathon.
It's time to go back.
Oh jeez.
I'm the
head surgeon here.
- No.
No!
No!
- Come on now tell
me what's wrong?
- No, no.
- What's wrong?
Breathe.
Dr. Swan says you've
been having nightmares.
- It wasn't a nightmare.
- Why don't you take
a few deep breaths
so you can tell
me what happened.
- Come on.
- I thought I saw someone.
I thought...
Maybe it was a nightmare.
Poor girl.
- Come here.
- No!
- Let me ease your mind.
- No.
No!
- No!
- Orderly.
Orderly.
- No!
No.
- Get her a shot.
- No, no, no.
- Orderly.
- I've got her.
- The door was open
when I came in.
- I've checked
everywhere, he's gone.
- What does the report say?
- Jimmy didn't fill one out.
It's pure negligence.
- What are you doing here?
- I came to check in on Bud.
- Too late man, he's vanished.
- What do you mean
he's vanished?
- Dr. Swan.
- Yes?
- I found something,
look, it's human isn't it?
- Where'd you get this?
- Well since that
Bud guy was gone
I figured I'd eat his breakfast,
but this was on the plate.
Doesn't look like
French toast to me.
- Look I don't know
what's going on here.
- I want to know where Bud is
and Nurse Robbins hasn't
been here for two days.
- She probably ran off with
the night orderly Jimmy.
She was always
sniffing after him.
- You know that isn't true.
- Orderly take Meyers downstairs
and make sure the duty nurses
are aware that he's
having a hard day.
You're a good nurse
Kygar, a good nurse.
- Wake up, Jane wake up,
you're having a dream.
It's a dream Jane.
It's almost lunch time.
I let you sleep in this morning.
You were given a
sedative late last night.
- I was told about the
nightmare you had last night.
- Is it still troubling you?
- Yes.
Would you
like to tell me about it?
- You'll think I'm crazy.
- I want to win your trust Jane.
You should be able to tell
me anything, I'll listen.
- I need help.
- Of course you do Jane
and I want to help you.
- Well you know I believe
that my memory loss
wasn't by accident, that it
was taken from me surgically.
The surgeon who took it is here.
He was outside my
window last night
and he threw
someone's head at me
and I ran out to tell the nurse
and he was there waiting for me.
Calling me.
You don't believe me.
- I believe you saw it Jane,
but the nurse and the orderly
in the hall with
you saw nothing.
- Then I must be insane
because he was as clear
to me as you are now.
- Not insane Jane, confused.
Some of the doors in your
mind are still closed.
Probably because of that
trauma you can't remember.
I'd like to put you
under hypnosis again.
Maybe we can get at what's
locked up in your subconscious.
Let's go back to the day
you were found
wandering in the park.
How did you get there?
- I walked to the park
from the hospital.
- What hospital?
- I don't know.
I only saw the inside
of the operating room.
The room where I
had the operation.
- Describe the room.
- I'm laying on a table.
I can't see the walls.
And I'm cold, I'm cold.
He doesn't want me to be afraid.
- Who doesn't want
you to be afraid?
- The surgeon.
I don't want this
to happen to me.
I don't want him to touch me.
He smells like death,
like formaldehyde.
I can't stand the smell.
- What does he look like?
- I can't look at him.
He's hideous.
- How?
- There's something
wrong with his eyes
and he's got a hole in his...
No.
No!
- Jane, Jane, snap out of
it Jane, snap out of it.
- You can never kill me Gerald.
- What kind of trick
are you playing on me?
- No trick Gerald.
You can never kill me.
But I can kill you Gerald
and I will through her.
What happened?
- Get out.
Get out I said, get out!
Nurse Kygar I think you
were right about Jane Doe.
What's her sedative does?
Well double that and
put her on Thorazine.
Tonight?
- Yes tonight.
And Nurse Kygar keep her
under strict observation.
- As you say Doctor.
Happy birthday.
Nobody hurt my baby.
Nobody hurt my baby.
Nobody hurt my baby.
What do you want?
- I need your help.
I have to get out of here.
- What's your hurry?
- Please, I know I have
nothing to offer but...
- You're right about that,
I've got enough problems.
I want to know what you meant
when you said Jessica
wasn't coming back.
- It was a feeling,
I had a feeling.
- Well she hasn't come
back and now Bud's missing.
Suddenly everyone in
here is going ape shit
and I want to know why.
- It's the surgeon.
- Surgeon?
What are you talking about?
- He killed a man last
night, I saw him, he's here.
He's the same one that
took my memory from me.
- You're a fucking nut.
- Please listen to me,
I know it sounds crazy,
but I'm telling you the truth.
- Alright I'm listening.
- He's in that old building
with the clock tower.
I think he has people
locked up in the cellar.
Maybe even Nurse Robbins.
- You're right it
sounds completely crazy.
- Confess, confess!
Death is near.
From the valley of darkness
the shadows draw near.
Make your confession!
Confess.
Confess!
- Cat man.
- I can't get it off.
Come on, oh come on.
- Alright, you and I are going
to check out that
building tonight.
- I'm scared.
- If any of what you say is true
then I'll get both of
us out of here, deal?
- Okay.
- Tonight, don't take your
medication, don't swallow it.
- You'll sleep well tonight.
- Are you ready?
- It was hard to fake
swallowing all these pills.
- Jesus Christ.
They've been giving you Thorazine,
would've wiped you out.
Come on we've got to hurry.
Listen to
the French, chapter six.
If I'm guilty of
the sin of avarice
and greed and using others
and coveting other's goods
and Adam if you
are you must repent
because if you do not repent
it will be everlasting death.
If you die you will be dead
and you will not rise again.
Oh lord you must in heaven
give us everlasting life.
- I always knew this
door would come in handy.
- How are we gonna get it open?
- I burrowed it
from my bed frame,
just like in all
the prison movies.
- You're going to isolation pal.
- Sara.
- I'm gonna have to watch you
more closely from now on Meyers.
- Fuck you for that.
Damn.
- Wait.
Nurse Robbins?
Where are you?
Nurse Robbins why are
you hiding from me?
Terrible things are happening.
I took your memory.
Nurse Robbins wasn't
so cooperative.
- No, no.
No.
No.
No.
No.
You're going
to be my little secret.
- I feel sick.
I gotta get to a nurse.
Real sick.
Yeah you
don't look so good.
- I feel like puking,
I can't breath.
Like I'm gonna puke.
- I'll get the nurse.
Be a good
girl while I'm gone.
- We're gonna get
that motherfucker.
- Quiet.
- So you been down to that new
donut shop down the street,
what's it called,
The Donut Hole?
- Yeah it's good, but I
like The Universal Donut.
They have apple.
They're monstrous,
they're great.
- You mean the one with the
brown kind of crispy covering?
- Oh yeah, yeah.
- And the black
coffee, nothing like...
What the fuck?
Get out of there,
get out of there!
Hold that there.
- I can't reach
anybody in security.
I'm gonna have to go out
and find that son
of a bitch myself.
- We're so short handed.
I'm going to call Dr. Swan.
- I'm not waiting.
- Yes?
- Dr. Swan, thank god
you're still here.
- What is it Nurse Kygar?
- I think you better come down.
We have an orderly hurt.
One of the patients
broke out of Iso.
- I'll be right there.
- Thank you Doctor.
- Chris it's him.
We have to get out of here.
Those things are out there.
We have to go.
- It's impossible, calm down.
He probably gave you
a drug, it's alright.
Wait, wait.
I thought I heard something.
Bud what the fuck?
- No.
No!
- Let's get the
hell out of here.
- Who's in there?
I'll be
right there Nurse Kygar.
- Nurse Robbins
where have you been?
Open this door immediately.
- Holy shit, there are
more of those things.
- I told you.
- Come on let's get
ourselves a ride.
Orderly.
Nurse Kygar, where is she?
- I think she went
down the hall.
- Damn the distributor's gone.
For dead people
they sure are smart.
- They just keep coming on.
- Let's get to the fence.
- Nurse Kygar.
Nurse Kygar are you
alright in there?
- We won't make it
to the fence come on.
- Can you open it?
- No.
It's locked.
Oh no, somebody!
- Stay away from me.
Stay away from me!
- Shut up.
The line's dead.
- Those things, those things
they're because of her.
She brought him back.
- What are you talking about?
- Today in hypnosis
she spoke in his voice.
Colin Ramzi is out there.
- The surgeon, you
know about him?
- Bastard, you bastard!
- Get her off, get her off.
- It's alright, it's alright.
Come on.
Listen I want to know who
the fuck this Ramzi is
and what he has to do with
those zombies out there.
Now start talking Swan.
- I hadn't that
of it in 20 years.
Colin Ramzi was,
among other things,
the most brilliant
man I've ever met.
He was doing research here
into the organic
causes of insanity.
The linkage between the
physical brain and the mind.
And then somewhere along
the way his genius twisted.
He seemed seduced by death.
He became something evil.
I couldn't let anybody
find out what he was doing.
My career would've
been over too.
I sealed him up in his dead pit.
His wife had left him,
she'd taken the children.
He didn't have any friends.
There was nobody who
wanted to investigate.
Everybody just assumed
he'd disappeared.
It was easy.
I made myself forget.
- So he killed them
and you killed him.
That doesn't explain
why they're alive now.
- The earthquake,
it opened the seal.
- An earthquake is a
natural phenomenon,
this is supernatural.
Colin
Ramzi has come back
from the other side of death.
He's come back for revenge.
- And he's come for me.
- Yes.
He's using you,
can't you see that?
You broke the seal.
- This is no time
for psychoanalysis.
They're swarming out there.
If we don't come
up with a plan soon
we'll be buried in
those dead things.
- Someone's gotta stop him.
I killed him once,
I'll kill him again.
Stay back, stay back.
- With that gun we've all
got a chance to make it.
You can't leave us
without a weapon Swan.
- I have to do this and I
have to do it by myself.
- They're following him.
- Let's try to find
a weapon upstairs.
What are they doing?
- They've got brains
in their hands.
He's dead.
- Where did you get that?
- Holy water, holy
water kills the beasts.
- Where can we get more
of this holy water Sister?
- Any water's holy
if it's blessed.
Can holy water stop
what's happening here?
Stop him?
- The place where the beast
rises must be washed clean.
The desecrated grounds
must be made holy.
- She's talking about the pit.
Putting holy water in the pit.
- Can you bless water Sister?
- I do the prayer.
God does the blessing.
- Can you bless all the
water in that tower Sister?
All of it.
- If it is God's will.
How about you
get in the pit Gerald?
You're flawed Gerald.
I'm going to open you up
and see what the problem is.
- If we can get to the
machine shops near the tower.
I should be able to find
enough material to make a bomb.
- You can do that?
- Oh it's my
specialty I'm afraid.
If my thinking is correct
that tank can be felled
so it falls directly
into the south wing
of the clock tower building.
It'll crack open beautifully.
And a hell of a lot of water
will go into the
basement, into the pit.
- I want to watch him die.
I know when that happens
I'll remember who I am.
- Please.
Please don't cut me.
The brain
is a parasite Gerald.
It attaches to the mind
and gives us physical form.
- Don't cut my brain.
The brain
is the destroyer.
The brain is the
clock that kills us.
- I found another
weapon we can use.
- Cartridges.
I can use this gun
powder as detonator.
- Oh.
Oh.
- Omnipotent.
Glorious.
Amen.
Where for I bless thee
oh pitcher of water,
God by the holy,
God by the true,
God by the omnipotent.
We've just
begun Gerald, just begun.
- It's not fancy,
but it should be enough to
sever one of the trust joints
at the top of the water tower.
- Does it have to be
placed on the top?
- I'm afraid so,
but don't worry, I've
set a long enough fuse.
And once I'm up there
I can set it, light it,
have enough time to get
down before it blows.
It'll be close.
Wait!
That was Jensen.
It's alright, it's alright.
We're going to get out of here.
Here take this.
Come on.
We've got a water balloon
to drop on these assholes.
I'll be back down in
less than 10 minutes.
If one of those things come.
Make a run for it, I'll
meet you at the front gate.
- Alright.
Alright.
Chris.
- I never thanked you for...
- Save it,
for when I get back down.
- Chris.
- Get down.
Get down and run.
Do it now before it's too late.
Go that way, that way,
it's your last chance.
Run away Sara.
- Run!
Dr. Swan wanted me
to give you a piece of his mind.
- Sister Clair.
Help me.
Help.
- Daddy.
Daddy.
- That's right Sara,
you're my flesh and blood.
Come to Daddy.
