When i wake up, i found my fiancée married to an other man Raising my son.
Everything has changed Including me.
One touch, and i see things Things that had happend, things that will happend You should see what i see Previously on The Dead Zone.
There's nothing in these latest MRI's that would account for the symptoms you're describing.
But doc, it's definitely getting worse.
The headaches before were at least bearable.
I'll give you medication for the pain.
I'm more concerned about these "blackouts" you've been having.
- Who's the girl with the camera? - Rachel Caldwell.
She's shooting a documentary for the campaign.
- She's my sister.
I'm Rebecca Caldwell.
- I met Rachel earlier tonight, to warn her when I came to she was gone.
You think I've crossed that thin line between Psychic and Psycho.
.
John Smith, you're under arrest for the murder of Rachel Caldwell.
This is Vera Smith's son we're talking about.
He is part of the family.
And if he should decide to challenge administration of her estate, we've a serious problem.

- What does this have to do with me? - We found this.
.
suicide note on his desk.

Who the hell are you? My name is Christopher Wey.
- Every time i hold this and you hold that.
- We can see each other.
This is the one personn who can tell us how all this get to start and it's cause.
My support to Greg Stillson is founded on his vision for the futur which is promising to be very bright.
- You aren't getting away with this.
- You think you saw something about me in your visions You ain't yet see nothing - Hey! - Hi! Hungry? On so many levels.
What's for breakfast? - It's a surprise - Oh, yeah? Toaster waffles? Oh, that not psychic.
It's all you had.
Come on, I wasn't expecting company.
- C'mon, I'll make some very bad coffee.
- Oh! I love it when you talk like that.
You? - How long you've been here? - Just a few seconds but I've been waiting a long time.
- What do you want now? - Reverend Purdy lied.
- What do you mean? - About Mike Kennedy.
You knew something was wrong the night they set you free you didn't know what, but you felt it.
How could you know that? You weren't here.
I just know, okay.
Get the truth from Purdy.
I hope you like your coffee black, your milk went out of date two weeks ago John? John? The Dead Zone - Saison 3 - Episode 12 "Tiping Point (part.
1)" Traduction par Ronanasplit, Unknow37 et Cpt Lolo Merci à Xylomid, Fabregues pour l'interim Merci à Lilik et Travis pour les corrections Medical science has made great strides Johnny in the study of Neuroanatomy, the functioning of the brain.
With MRI's, and P.
E.
T.
scans, we can actually pinpoint and surgically treat brain tumors and strokes that were, until quite recently, inoperable.
Are you saying you can cure Johnny's Dead Zone? Actually, we would remove the diseased part of the brain that causing his symptoms, the headaches, blackouts And what about my visions, Doctor ? My belief is that your visions are a unique state of consciousness arising from a specific part of your brain.
Somehow your accident awakened this dormant region.
If we can find it, and figure out how it works, we may be able to surgically alleviate, or at the very least control the negative side effects.
And you believe this is possible? Let me show you something.
When I was reviewing the records your doctor sent on me, I came accross this incomplete scan and the technician wrote a note that this scan was redone because the patient had suffered temporary hallucination during image capture.
I remember that.
I didn't hallucinate, Actually I had a vision of a little girl who had an MRI before me.
What did you see? Her funeral.
She had a brain tumor.
There, that red blur, that happens nowhere else in any of the other scans only when you had that vision.
Somewhere in that red blur might just be the source of your headaches.
It's not an option.
Not now.
You heard what Doctor Jaeger said, your headaches and blackouts are just gonna get worse.
You could die.
I'll take my chances.
I understand John, you don't want to lose your gift, but Can you please stop for a second so I can talk to you.
Look, what's happening between us, it's really great, and I hope it's just the beginning but I can't tell you what to do here.
Why don't you talk to your friends, people you trust.
Talk to Sarah.
In the meantime let Dr.
Jaeger do the tests That way when you'll make your decision, it will based on all the information.
I'll go through the testing, but I can't promise anything beyond that.
Ok? Ok, thank you Johnny? Where are you? It's Gene.
In the living room Gene.
Living room? Fighting off a migraine.
Thanks for coming.
I'm not supposed to drive or I would have come to you.
You said you wanted to ask me something? Yeah.
- Why did you lie? - about the trust fund? I told you.
We made some bad investments.
You'll be made whole, I promise.
I don't care about the money.
There's something else.
About Rachel's murder.
You know the night that I was released, after you found Kennedy's suicide note, I knew something was wrong But I couldn't say anything or I'd land back in jail as the only suspect.
So, if you know anything about Rachel's murder or Kennedy's suicide, you need to come forward with it.
Walt is having Kennedy's body exhumed, and they will go over everything again.
It's only a matter of time before we all know what really happened.
Whatever I did, I did to protect you.
I don't need your protection.
I need the truth.
The truth is, I don't know who killed Rachel Caldwell.
I don't know why Mike Kennedy killed himself.
I do know is that these are not ordinary times, and after I saw what you had written about your future's visions, about the coming of Apocalyspe.
I couldn't stay by and do nothing.
So what is it Gene? What did you do? Hey doc! You're early Bannerman, my report won't be ready for forty-eight hours.
But if I know you, you've already made up your mind what did you find out? Same as the first time.
Probable suicide.
I can't rule out homicide to a medical certainty, but there's nothing here to support changing the cause of death.
Is that what it looks like Doc? The right frontal lobe.
You can see where the bullet passed through.
Size of the hole matches the caliber of the gun found in his hand.
- What about the slug? - Smashed through the driver's window.
We found it nearby.
There were also numerous bullet fragments we removed today.
These? Yes.
May I touch them? I'll take for the responsibility.
Ah my head.
You all right? It's Elliman.
It was Sonny Elliman.
, Walt.
The security guy who works for Stillson? Kennedy was knocked out.
Elliman put the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger.
Why would Stillson want to kill Kennedy ? Hey John! You're home? I got some groceries.
Thought I'd make us some dinner - Hello John! - Hey - Hey yourself.
How you feeling? - Okay Listen, Rebecca I have some bad news.
What is it? Mike Kennedy did not kill Rachel.
What do you mean? I had a very clear vision.
And Kennedy did not commit suicide.
He was murdered by someone who's working for Stillson, a guy named Sonny Elliman.
It must have been something that Rachel found out while shooting her documentary that got her killed.
When the truth comes out, Rebecca, that Kennedy didn't kill Rachel I'll be a prior suspect again And they might even arrest me.
We're not gonna let that happen I know you didn't hurt Rachel It was Greg Stillson, and we have to prove it.
We owe it to her.
We'll go over everything okay? Maybe there's something than I'm missing.
Okay.
We will see this thing through, together Whatever happens, okay? Glad to see you're getting some use out of that bible I gave you.
"Congressman" Deluxe edition.
Back when Daddy and I sold the good book door to door, the grand slam of sales - Having good times.
- What do you want? I suppose by now you heard they dug up poor Mike Kennedy? Yes - Now what do you suppose prompted that? - I'm sure I don't know.
You'll have to ask Sheriff Bannerman.
Did seem awful convenient, Mike taking the blame for Johnny Smith.
- What's your point? - My point is, don't let Smith take you down with him.
He and Bannerman couldn't frame me for Rachel Caldwell's murder so now they're poking around Mike Kennedy's death looking for something they can use against me.
But they aren't going to find anything are they? are they? - Not from me - Yeah.
Good.
Because the only one who's going to be hurt by Smith poking around Mike Kennedy's past is you.
I'd hate to see that.
Take care.
So, here it is.
It's her car.
- Didn't you already touch her car? - Not the inside.
The initial vision I got from the door handle led us to the camera.
By then I was a suspect.
What is it? What do you see? Rachel it must be the night of the murder - What did you tell him? - John? What's wrong? What did you tell Smith about us? Nothing.
Nothing I swear.
Please don't hurt me.
Who was it? Who was driving the car? I couldn't see his face, but she knew him.
The killer kept saying, "What did you tell Smith about us.
" You said she had an affair with Stillson.
He must have thought she told me something something worth killing her for So it was him.
Can you feel the warm sand John? Actually all I feel is cold metal but keep going It helps just to hear your voice.
Ok, I want you to keep imagine yourself on the beach.
.
sand between your toes - I'm feeling it - Good.
Ok, John.
.
They have to insert something into your neck but I want you to ignore the pain just stay on the beach, listenning the waves, John? Come back to the beach Johnny ignore the pain come back to the beach How does that feel? Much better Ok.
They're getting ready to start.
I have to go now Just stay here on the beach listen to the waves, Yeah, I feel much better.
Feel the warm sand and just drift away Nice job done any anesthesia would certainly alter the scan.
You've done this before? Just a little guided imagery.
I use it sometimes when the kids I work with have been traumatized.
We're going to inject the radioisotope now.
You may hear a little noise from the scanner, just try to ignore it Great.
We have an excellent baseline.
You can see the areas of brain activity, here.
The brighter colors, here in the frontal lobe.
We're actually "seeing" him imagine your beach.
It's incredible Hey, Johnny we're going to try and trigger a vision now by touching an object to your hand, I want you to just trying relax and let the vision happen.
- Ready? - Ready.
Yes Yessssss.
What did you see Johnny? Your son catching a home run, doc.
That's right There look that glow near the amygdala in that area the brain actually integrates the senses and links our emotions to memories.
But the image is very undefined.
We're gonna need to create a much stronger vision.
He said his headaches came when he touch the cane - Ok, Johnny, we're going to try another vision.
- Hey, how's the beach? All I need now is a Jinto.
He's here - Who did this to you? - Nevermind that the camera the dead girl's camera Stop the test.
Something's wrong.
Wait! Wait! What about the camera? Who are you talking to? Is he here? Who is this? Do I know him? - You should, he's - No! Are you ok? I think so What happened? Did it work? There there it is.
They really think they know what causes your blackouts? And there's something they can treat ? If they can isolate it, they might be able to operate.
- What would that do to your visions? - Stop them.
Maybe.
Listen, Sarah there's something I really need to ask you Yeah? If something happened and I wound up back in the hospital if I'm not able I want you to be the one to decide whether or not to operate.
I know it's a lot to ask.
Of course I'll be there for you.
Anything, always.
We're your family, J.
J.
, Walt, and I.
There's one more thing if it ever comes to it don't leave me in another coma.
I want you to pull the plug.
Promise me.
Ok, I promise.
I promise.
Have you told Rebecca? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
She's been great.
She's been through a lot.
We both have.
She's the first personn since you and I that I really care about This operation, you know, I I dream about getting rid of these visions having a normal life with somebody like her But a part of me knows it just isn't possible.
Of course it's possible.
You're a father You've a son who loves you You have a wonderful girl who's crazy about you.
Everyone can see that.
Johnny fight for the life that you want.
Get yourself another drink Jimmy, I just need Greg for a minute thanks.
I've got some thoughts on those amendments when you guys are through.
Listen, Greg, I think I can speak for everyone here when we say how impressed we are with all the work you've done for us on the "Justice For All" bill our re-naming it "Rachel's Law" will help with your constituents back home.
But something has come to our attention that is cause for concern.
A friend over in the justice department told me the Penobscot County Sheriff is having the FBI crime lab re-examine evidence in the Rachel Caldwell murder.
You wouldn't want some overzealous Sheriff to re-open her murder investigation.
Who knows what peripheral issues might come to light.
Yeah.
Don't worry.
I've got it under control.
Rachel!!! I had a dream.
Would it help to talk about it? I was with Rachel.
We were together.
We were on these swings, in a park near where we grew up.
And it felt so good to be with her I keep having dreams about her really happy, then I wake up into this nightmare where she's gone.
If Greg Stillson killed her, we have to do whatever it takes.
Ok? Promise me? I can't live with him walking around free while she's Listen to me I know how much he hurt you, and I know what he took away from you.
He will not get away with it, okay? I promise you.
I promise you.
Ok.
Here it is.
You gotta make this fast.
District attorney Schweigel would have my head on a stick if he found out about this.
What exactly are you looking for? Something I never touched The murder weapon.
Lets get this over with.
Gentlemen.
I'd like to introduce you to my next director of media relations, Miss Rachel Caldwell.
Pleasure.
Let me ask a stupid question.
Does it even matter which one of these I pick? In a close election like yours, it all gets down to.
.
margin of error, which our friend here manipulated in your favor.
Nothing can stop us now, Son.
Sorry, I didn't know anyone was out here.
No, no, it's okay, c'mon over, we're just finishing up here What did you see? I saw Rachel and Stillson.
I saw this before the first time I bumped into her.
They're with a group of men.
They're looking at one of those new computerized voting machines.
.
when she walks in on them with the camera still running.
It might be what go her killed.
I bet he was having the voting machines rigged and she walked in and caught him.
There's no way I'll accuse Stillson of voter fraud without solid evidence.
I don't want Stillson fined for election fraud, I want him in jail for the rest of his life for murder.
It's gonna be some other angle to look at this from, like another way in for a vision.
What about Stillson? Not a chance.
He's not going to let Johnny anywhere near him.
You know there can be another way.
He's been trying to talk to me about endorsing this bill he wants to get passed, "Rachel's Law.
" He's here in Bangor for few days, I could arrange a meeting.
You could be my chaperone.
and we're back in five-four-three And now, live from his office with a special message of hope and salvation, the founder of Faith Heritage Ministries, Reverend Gene Purdy Good evening.
And thank you.
Both those here at Faith Heritage, and all of you at home.
We are trully blessed by your continued support For twenty years I have witnessed the good news to you and you have put your faith in me to do so.
Tonight I come before you to say, I am not worthy of that faith.
I have sinned.
A grievous sin the one that cannot go unpunished I have given false witness against a colleague.
My friend Mike Kennedy It's shoking statement from one of means most respected clerge man Reverend Gene Purdy made this emission earlier tonight.
I forged a suicide note stating that Mike Kennedy was responsible for the murder of Rachel Caldwell That's what he needed to confess What's happening now? What I did was a sin, and I accept fully whatever punishment God and Caesar.
.
chose to bring upon me.
I am resigning directorship here at Faith Heritage, effective immediately.
Good Night.
And God Bless.
Son of a bitch Yeah, yeah, I'm on the next flight to Washington.
I just have a little bit of work to wrap up here.
Well, thank you.
You too.
- Yes - Greg? Ms.
Caldwell is here.
Great.
Send her in.
Rebecca pleasure.
And Johnny Smith I asked Johnny to come along, I hope that's not a problem.
Yeah I have to tell you I'm a little surprised after Reverend Purdy's announcement last night please.
.
Have a sit.
Seems to me it makes you a suspect again? I didn't kill Rachel.
- You know that, right? - No, actually I don't know that, Johnny.
What I do know is that the Justice Department will get to the bottom of it.
Bannerman's investigation was so inept, I've asked the U.
S.
Attorney's office.
I have complete faith in John.
You know Rebecca I was hoping that we could speak alone.
Anything you need to say, you can say in front of John.
Oh, I know.
Heck he probably already knows what I'm saying, don't you? You said you wanted to speak to me about this crime bill? Yes.
I asked you here today because we are on the verge of passing "Rachel's Law" and I'd like nothing more that you'll be there for the signing ceremony.
The president would be there, and your presence would mean the world to the other victims of crime out there who feel alone with their grief.
I'm sorry, Congressman.
But I won't be able to be there for your bill signing.
Did you know what I did, after what happened to your sister, I actually passed an amendment to make it a federal crime, subject to the death penalty, to kill a state or federal campaign worker, did you know that? I still hope you'll reconsider, Rebecca.
I really do, it mean a lot to me.
I don't know what your friend here has been telling you about me, but I can assure you it's not true.
- You have her answer, right? - Yeah, yeah I do.
I knew you were capable of some despicable things, but preying on a grieving young woman after killing her sister, that's a damn low.
What do you really want here? Trying to get one of your "visions"? 'Cause I give you one.
John! - This part of his act? - John? Oh my god! Call 911 Hurry! Com'on John.
Johnny, these seizures are becoming more and more devastating each time.
We need another round of scans to precisely map your brain.
In the event you need emergency surgery, there won't be time.
Have you designated someone to give consent in the event that you can't? Yes.
Sarah Bannerman.
Good.
Okay.
We'll be ready to start in a few minutes.
Okay, thanks too.
John? What did you see? What did you see when you touched Stillson? Did you see him kill my sister? I don't know how to tell you this Whatever it is, you can tell me, I can handle it.
I didn't see Rachel when I touched Stillson, I saw a vision I've gotten before from him a vision of the future a future I'm certain he causes What? What? Washington D.
C.
destroyed by fire.
Widespread death and destruction.
Some kind of apocalypse.
And Stillson is somehow responsible.
my god Now you see why I don't tell a lot of people about this.
You and Bruce are the only ones who know.
But if you're still seeing this vision in Stillson's future, it must mean he doesn't go to prison for killing Rachel - He gets away with it.
- We can't let that happen.
Whatever what it takes we have to stop him.
Not just for Rachel but for the future.
Excuse me.
We're ready for you Mr.
Smith.
Thank you.
You okay? Yeah.
But they told me this was going to be even more painful than last time I was hoping you could send me to that beach Sure.
How about you? You okay? It's going to be all right.
Just keep moving forward.
Close your eyes.
I want you to go back to that safe place, I want you go back to that beach.
Tell me what you see The sun - Some warm sand.
- Okay.
I want you to feel me covering you in warm sand Ok John instead of the pain, I want you to feel the sand on the beach fell the warm sand feel the air on your face and the waves crashing.
Can you do that for me? For you, anything That's good, because I have something else I want to ask you, and when it's done, I want you to forget I ever asked Can you do that? Yes John if you see any vision of my future you will see me planning a surprise birthday party for you Any vision of my future will just be of me planning this surprise party - Can you do that? - Sure.
Okay.
.
Now I want you to forget I asked you or you will spoil the surprise, and you don't want to do that do you? - no - No.
.
What did we just talk about? The beach you told me to listen to the crashing waves That's right.
Just the crashing waves Johnny, only the waves.
Okay.
Just keep listening to the crashing waves only the waves, - We're ready to start.
- Okay.
Just stay on the beach.
He's here.
Alright send him in.
Reverend Purdy.
Where's your lawyer? I don't have one.
I want to be punished for my sins.
Thanks for driving me home.
Can you stay? I really wish I could, but if I leave now I can get a connecting flight back to D.
C.
I need to straighten some work stuff before I come back.
Rebecca, I don't want you to worry about what the doctors say, I'm not backing off on Stillson.
I know.
I should get going.
Yeah, right um, listen I know it may seems kind of insane to talk about the 2 us with everything that's going on but I just want to tell you that I know.
Can I help you? Yes, I'd like to buy a birthday cake.
- Sure.
Do you have something in mind? - Something small.
What about that one? Excellent choice.
German chocolate.
Comes in silver or black icing.
Have you ever eaten cake before? A long time ago.
A box of candles with that? Whatever you're thinking, it's not gonna work.
You're not gonna get away with it.
Don't worry, I'll act surprised.
I don't want you forget that I actually prefer chocolate cake with white icing.
Okay? Okay! I'll keep that in mind.
- I better go.
- Yeah, just hurry back.
Okay, I will.
Pathetic.
Welcome back, Smith What's going on? Why don't you ask yourself? What are you talking about? - Is he here? - Yeah, he's here.
It's time.
There you are.
We've been waiting for you.
Who the hell are you? Oh, I'm you alright.
You have no idea how much trouble I went through to get you here.
What happened to you to me? Everything you're afraid of? Happens.
No There's still time.
but not much.
We've got to go.
Not yet J.
J.
J.
J.
? Yes.
That's him.
We really got to go.
- What do you want from me? - Too much.
But you've got to do it.
I'll do it.
Just tell me.
When the time comes, do not save Rebecca.
Can I help you? Yes, I need a gun, something small Like that one.
Excellent choice, comes in silver and black.
