13:14North Maddie has some lips.
13:15Straight ahead.
13:18We're a nasty and nice war repulsion.
13:20This flag's loose, Doc.
13:22The flags are all brazen.
13:23The flag's on the top brazen.
13:26You've almost seen all the crap I needed.
13:29Come on.
13:30Clear the world.
13:32These are cutting the dynamo six in eight minutes.
13:36Hey, hey, hold on.
13:40Where's Patty?
13:41Patty Aspen.
13:50Mr. Carter, delighted, deeply moved.
13:57Patty.
14:02We've had a few like this lately.
14:05Hey, friend of yours, Mr. Carter.
14:18Very thoughtful, Mr. Carter.
14:22Your friend will be gently spirited away
14:25to Glad Hand Meadows,
14:28where he will rest in one piece
14:30and all eternity.
14:35If you go near a body bank,
14:37I'll kill you.
14:40I believe you will.
14:44He will be safe.
14:46Cash is honor, Mr. Carter.
14:48High principal attends high payment.
14:54Where's your other colleague, Bruegel?
14:57Mr. Mahler?
15:00I was short of stock one night.
15:03He made the supreme sacrifice.
15:06This new Mahler is on approval.
15:08You're on a side count trace on that van.
15:24I already am, Edison.
15:27Edison, I'm sorry about Patty.
15:31I really am.
15:32I don't want to stand up.
15:33I don't want to move.
15:35Well, we're going across.
15:38Get up the race.
15:40Go.
15:53This is your Network 23 Sunrise Report,
15:56bringing you only the good news.
15:58Economic indicators are awesome.
15:59And a baby alligator has been cloned
16:01as a children's zoo.
16:01Good morning.
16:03You look ghastly.
16:04You're early.
16:06Wait.
16:09I haven't been to bed.
16:12I'm sure I follow up on Patty's story.
16:14What story?
16:15You can't believe Patty.
16:17Murray, can I have a word with you?
16:24Patty was killed yesterday.
16:31I don't follow.
16:50It doesn't make any sense.
16:51How do you make it to Glyhan's crematorium, okay?
16:54Patty's death doesn't make sense either, Murray.
17:04I feel responsible.
17:06Oh, come on.
17:07Come on.
17:08You can't pull that one.
17:10You're not responsible.
17:11Patty would have died anyway,
17:13without you meeting him.
17:14Don't start crying crocodile tears over Patty.
17:17Murray, that's unforgivable.
17:18And don't you start.
17:21Patty was a nice guy.
17:23We didn't do this.
17:26He was betrayed by the limits of his own potential.
17:29These notes prove it.
17:33It's drivel.
17:34I can't believe you.
17:35You're being so insensitive.
17:37I spent the entire night trying to work this drivel out, Murray.
17:40When I left him, he said he was on to something.
17:45He said he was on to a story.
17:47I think the clue to what it was is in this stuff.
17:51It's all about dreams.
17:52But I can't get into the right files in the mainframe.
17:57To sleep a chance to dream, Bill the Scribbler.
18:01The night horse rides the black shores of sleep.
18:04Dream's all right.
18:05You've accessed the right file type,
18:07but you've gone off at tangents all over the system.
18:10Let me have a go.
18:14Okay, night horse.
18:16Of course, nightmares.
18:19Took me hours to get that run.
18:21You're brilliant.
18:21All right.
18:26There.
18:27All right, nightmares.
18:29Specialist trauma research on.
18:31Evidence of neurosis.
18:32Deep psychological damage as a result of.
18:35Night terrors.
18:37Patty was on to something.
18:39You know what I mean, Ciara?
18:41Where are you going?
18:42I'm going to go into that place.
18:43Well, don't start ringing out your conscience in public.
18:46Give me a break, Murray.
18:47I'm going to make damn sure I find out why Patty Ashton died last night.
18:51Well, just make sure it's a story.
18:55Let's go.
18:56Move quickly.
18:58Mind side research participants.
18:59Sign contracts here.
19:01With me, people.
19:03Hello, cherubs.
19:05Brought a friend with you this time, I see.
19:08I'm going to try for the same one.
19:09Oh, how nice.
19:11I do love spice.
19:12Come on, come on.
19:13Let's move it.
19:14Let's move it.
19:19Yes, sir?
19:20Do I have to use my own name?
19:21Oh, you can use mine anytime.
19:23Or you can just dream one up, Taggart.
19:26Category?

19:28To Paradise Islands with matching suitcases.

24:33trouble is

24:35you just can't stop
24:37now for 32
24:56get around the road
24:57get her all flying fast
24:59let's go
25:07Get her out of it, fast.
25:12Come on.
25:14Come on.
25:17We've had a lot like this lately.
25:21Move it.
25:23What is this, a videocam?
25:25Is it broadcasting?
25:28Get in.
25:30Here we go.
25:33Where you at?
25:35Here.
25:37Where is she?
25:43We're ringing her up.
25:44Look what we got.
25:46You know, Finn, I wonder if we've pushed the dosage too high.
25:50This girl has reacted just like that guy last night.
25:53But look at the results.
25:55Look at number seven.
25:56That guy's had 12 dreams in six minutes.
25:58Sex, action, the whole lot.
26:00Yeah, but these casualties are scary.
26:02It shouldn't happen.
26:04Listen.
26:05The Fringer last night had a weak heart.
26:07That happens.
26:08That's why they sign an own-risk clause.
26:15She's already dead.
26:23Look at this.
26:24Edison.
26:29Edison, Edison, this is control.
26:34He's in trouble.
26:38Murray, I don't think he's there.
26:40Then where the hell is he?
26:42Come on, man.
26:44Keep your head on this.
26:45Open up, Red.
27:06Stop.
27:07Come on, open up.
27:08Don't say anything.
27:13Just sit down and listen.
27:15Limey, Edison.
27:16I need your help.
27:19Yes, of course I recognize that, Finn.
27:22It is a Network 23 Viticam.
27:24Where is the operator?
27:25Gone.
27:26But worst news is, we've had another nightmare-induced trauma.
27:29I'm beginning to have one myself.
27:31Our whole strategy for Dreamview relies on these shows of yours.
27:34But what about this reporter?
27:36Could that camera have transmitted one of those dreams?
27:38Absolutely not.
27:40We switched it off the second we found it.
27:42But the odd thing is, there are dreams coming from inside it.
27:47Maybe some old recordings.
27:49Finn, the point is, you switched it off.
27:52Forget the reporter.
27:53Your job at Mind's Eye is to give us that dream material fast.
27:58Our Dreamview commercials run within the hour on several networks.
28:01It is costing us a fortune.
28:03We're hyping this Dreamview channel massively.
28:06Watch this.
28:08Dare you step into the Mind's Eye?

28:16Feel their desires and erotic longing.

28:46This research of yours will be seen for what it is.
28:49So we need that stockpile before we run the spot.
28:52Before people realize their intimate thoughts will be compulsive viewing for millions of subscribers.
28:57Of course, there will always be a few exhibitionists who enjoy doing that sort of thing.
29:03But you see the point.
29:08Ordinary people will stop selling their dreams.
29:10You'll have to take chances, Finn.
29:12You old dream thief.
29:14Understand me, Finn.
29:16This is our big one.
29:18This will even hit Network 23's Max Headroom hard.
29:22He is only one person's mind.
29:23We will have thousands.
29:25Deliver them, Finn.
29:26Step up the recordings.
29:31A shredding party for the paperwork?
29:34Call someone about that girl.
29:36Call Broigo.
29:40So.
29:41So.
29:41Edison.
29:42There he was, climbing out of a Roman bath.
29:45Rest only in a bunch, bunch, bunch of grapes.
29:48And I thought, is this his dream?
29:52His nightmare?
29:52Or just his wishful thinking?
29:53When I'm suddenly cut, cut, cut off.
29:57Fortunately, I don't dream.
29:59I perform subconscious calculation.
30:01My equivalent of, uh, jogging.
30:03How do you know you don't dream if you're asleep?
30:06Hmm?
30:07Ah, that's something I've calculated.
30:10You're becoming quite a humorous, Bryce.
30:13Oh, hi.
30:14Edison.
30:15Ah, he's my pupil.
30:17Not very good.
30:18Keeps trying to analyze all the punch, punch, punch lines so he can tell them at the beginning.
30:21To save time.
30:22Is Theora there yet?
30:25Yes, I am.
30:26I also have a book.
30:28Are you all right, Edison?
30:31How are you at codes, Bryce?
30:34Oh, brilliant.
30:35What do you have?
30:38Some sort of word game.
30:40Ah, easy.
30:41This will be like cracking the password on the old Kray computers.
30:44A piece of cake.
30:46You know, I used to be a hacker in my youth.
30:47Ah, dear, poetry.
30:53Ah?
30:53Ah?
30:54Poetry.
30:55Not his strongest point.
30:57Well, you'll have to work together with Max.
30:59Combine the logical with the intuitive.
31:02Oh, that will be fun.
31:03Yeah, well, make it fast fun, will ya?
31:07Theora, stay with them.
31:08And feed me the results here a big time.
31:10Ah, before you go.
31:11That dream, dream, dream, dream, dream with the bunch of fruit in the Roman bath.
31:16Were they red or white?
31:19The grapes, I mean.
31:20Well, well, that caught him with his toga down.
31:29Reg, I know we love him, but do you really think Fang is the right man for the job?
31:33It's his big break, Dom.
31:35World's first dog video job.
31:37Don't knock him.
31:37I just have never seen him not eating or sleeping before.
31:42Wonder where he gets it from.
31:44Nepotism, mate.
31:46Cup of tea?
31:47Yeah.
31:48Dom?
31:48I'm apparently in training to replace the dog.
31:52He'll be doing the account soon.
31:58Can Dom operate a relay link?
32:00Oh, yeah.
32:01Do anything.
32:03Especially for you.
32:06Look, mind if I say something?
32:09I've listened to what you've said.
32:12I know how it feels to lose a mate.
32:15But you can't wear your heart on your sleeve all the time.
32:17It messes up your appearance.
32:21Get the tea.
32:22Oh, it's with us or without us, then.
32:24Is that it?
32:30It's with us.
32:31Just don't forget who you are.
32:33As well as Paddy's friend.
32:36All right.
32:36Let's be off.
32:37Dom, stow the tea.
32:39Oops.
32:39Make room for me.
32:41And get ready for sea.
32:43Fang, station announcement, please, my son.
32:46Two hours off air.
32:47Tell them we're going to go walkies.
32:53You're a pro, Fang.
32:54Come on.
32:55Come on.
32:56Come on.
32:57Come on.
32:57Wait, Jose.
32:58Oh, it's...
32:59Oh, God.
33:02I'm not wearing anything.
33:04Yes.
33:05Sure is, you Todd.
33:06Hello?
33:08I'm sorry.
33:09Hello, who?
33:10Dominic, is that you?
33:11This is the Edison Carter Rolling Enfield Relay Unit.
33:14Requesting link.
33:15Do you read me?
33:1610-5.
33:17Damn.
33:184.
33:19We are rolling control.
33:21Over.
33:21I'm afraid it's the actress in her, mate.
33:24Well, it's just as well you left your billy cam.
33:27Can't go sharking about with a sudden great thing like that.
33:30Where there's balloons in the place.
33:33Take the wheel, will you?
33:38I have you loud and clear.
33:40Bandits anticipated at Angels 9 or 0.
33:43Over.
33:45Dominic, what are you talking about?
33:47I've got SACCAM 0680 in orbiting lock-on.
33:51Tally-ho, control!
33:59Rock-voilá!
34:01It's an infrared camera used by sewer inspectors.
34:06It's short-range and a limited battery life,
34:08but very handy for nefarious activities in the dark.
34:12If you know what I mean.
34:13Edison, your big-time camera link is strong, showing you arriving at mine's eye.
34:31How much and what for, son?
34:33Twenty creds to sleep and dream.
34:35You should be fabulous, dear.
34:36Oh, punk dream.
34:38Heavy metal, mate.
34:40Music of the angels.
34:41Brandy of the damned.
34:44Punks of the world, you not wallop.
34:46Give it a bit of the welly.
34:49Reg.
34:51Son here.
34:57Sorry.
34:58Reg.
35:01Next.
35:05Hey, Edison.
35:06Come on, Reg.
35:08Shut up.
35:11Put them on.
35:26Come on.
35:27Wear them or else, you old skinhead.
35:29Oh.
35:31Easy, Reg.
35:32Easy.
35:32Easy.
35:32Looks like a good bunch.
35:5213's a bit repetitive, but we've got a guy on 14 dreaming he's a girl.
35:58Might be interesting.
35:58Tom.
36:05Where are the lights?
36:09Where am I?
36:11Oh, Reg.
36:12Use the camera.
36:13Use the infrared.
36:15Sometimes you're impossible.
36:20Ah, right.
36:21Here we are.
36:22Do you want to experience the wildest dreams of Vanessa's people as they happen?
36:34Feel your desires and life longer.
36:37See what lies in the dreams of the executive and the younger girl.
36:41Unless we keep it.
36:42The poor and the rich.
36:43Why?
36:44What was that?
36:45I don't know.
36:48That was us celebrating my promotion five years ago.
36:51Let's drive now and get a special event.
36:54Straight from the line of the sky.
37:03I'm sorry, Edison.
37:05I thought it was the lights.
37:06Doesn't matter.
37:06You cracked it, Reg.
37:07That's an ad up on that screen.
37:09An ad?
37:09For what?
37:10Dreams.
37:11They're stealing dreams and it's killing people.
37:14I killed Patty Aston.
37:29Edison, come in, please.
37:32Go ahead, Control.
37:33Edison, your batteries are fading.
37:35I'm boosting your audio only.
37:38Go ahead, Bryce.
37:39I managed to crack your friend's code.
37:41And I think you'll find it quite interesting material.
37:44All right, Bryce.
37:45Give it to me.
37:46May I just say that this was a joint effort?
37:50Logic, 10%.
37:51His?
37:53Poetic intuition, 90%.
37:56Max, I don't have time for this now.
38:00It was a simple matter to extrapolate.
38:02Lots of mystical nonsense about magic eyes, third eyes, all that.
38:06Then I got it.
38:09Pineal glands.
38:10What is he on about?
38:11Hurry up, Bryce.
38:13It's pretty simple, really.
38:15The pineal gland was once here on top of the brain, a light, sensitive gland.
38:19Birds still have them, and in lizards and salamanders, they're connected to an eye-like structure on the dorsal surface of the head.
38:27Anyway, in real sense, it was once an eye.
38:29Dreams occur randomly in the electrochemical brain storage system, the subconscious mind, as romantics have always wrongly called it.
38:39Now, the pineal is sort of a chemical game, and with the right drugs, it can make images transfer backwards from the brain to the eye and actually play back on the eye's retina.
38:47The optimum conditions would be brain, rest, or sleep, thus a dreaming state.
38:52Simple.
38:53The brain just empties dreams out into the eye.
38:55You could record them.
38:57I should have thought of that before.
38:59You know, this may be what causes REM, REM, rapid eye movement during dreaming.
39:03By the way, they could only capture those images on film through some sort of telecine machine.
39:09Does that help?
39:11I've got everything I need.
39:13You in there!
39:14Well, whatever it is, someone doesn't want you to have it.
39:17Patrol, what's the layout here?
39:19Only one door.
39:21Oh, there is a film reel lift by the projector.
39:24It looks pretty small, though.
39:27Roger!
39:28Oh, my God, wretch!
39:30Torrent, torrent, torrent!
39:31Oh, my God!
39:44Oh, sorry, squire.
40:01I didn't want to hang about.
40:02We're okay.
40:20Now, clean away.
40:21Lovely.
40:21Dom, for crying out loud.
40:28Normandy, put it down, please.
40:31You should take things more seriously.
40:33I was guarding my turf.
40:35Lady not fanged growl.
40:37A girl in there had a nightmare trauma.
40:49I know that's what happened to Patty.
40:52They killed them.
40:53Those people killed them, Murray.
40:55They know this process is lethal.
40:57It can be lethal.
40:59Maybe.
41:00Now, take it easy, Edison.
41:02You have a personal involvement here,
41:04and I can't let it influence your judgment,
41:06particularly if this thing is killing people.
41:08All right, I need a clear view here.
41:10I'm going back in, Murray.
41:11I want this.
41:13Those people are using dreams as entertainment,
41:15and they're killing people to get it.
41:16It's mind rape.
41:17The only way we can stop them
41:18is by proving they're killing people.
41:22You don't take me on this one, Murray.
41:25Edison?
41:27Edison?
41:28Damn it!
41:29Too close to it, Theora.
41:30It's unprofessional.
41:31It's dangerous.
41:33Is this what you call
41:33his unshakable determination?
41:35No, it's what I call
41:36his pain.
41:36And it's...
41:37What are we going to do?
41:42Kid Angela and the chopper,
41:43I'm going down there.
41:46Edison Carter, news break.
41:47Upcoming.
41:49Point me at 10-minute window.
41:50Speculate 12 on the story.
41:5212, got it.
41:52Stay on us.
41:52This may be tight.
41:53Dunk home.
41:54You have control.
41:55Five side research participants.
41:57Side contract here.
41:58Five side research participants.
42:01This place is shut down.
42:01Go home.
42:02Five side contracts here.
42:03Big people.
42:07Wake up.
42:09Come on, wake up.
42:10Get your toggles off.
42:11Wake up.
42:12Come on, wait.
42:13Team, wait.
42:14T-Roy, this is going.
42:15Wake up.
42:15Come on, get out of here.
42:16Wake up.
42:17Come on, moving.
42:19Wake, T-Roy, T-Roy.
42:20Wake up.
42:23T-Roy, T-Roy.
42:24I tell you, Edison Carter is in here.
42:28I'm getting out, Greek.
42:30If Carter's on to this, you'll find out about the girl, about that Fringer guy.
42:34I'm out.
42:45Let's go, Control.
42:46Standing by.
42:47Listen, Edison, Murray's coming back.
42:49I'm going live, Control.
42:51Three, two, one, go.
42:55This is Edison Carter, live and direct from the mind's eye.
42:59This is the story of Patty Ashton, my friend and colleague who died right here.
43:03This is outrageous.
43:04How dare you burst in here?
43:05I'm accusing you of causing the death of at least two people.
43:09Do you know what the hell you're talking about?
43:11I want you out of here.
43:13Riot.
43:13Riot.
43:15I demand my rights.
43:21What rights did you extend to Patty Ashton, the man who died here yesterday?
43:26He was insane.
43:27He was unbalanced.
43:29He left here perfectly well physically.
43:32Oh, liar.
43:34He left here yet.
43:35Bravo.
43:49Oh.
43:53Turn that thing off.
43:54Well, congratulations.
43:59You've just gone live and direct to millions of people with pictures of the world's top
44:04telejournalist punching out an interviewee.
44:06I expect that's what you call breakthrough television.
44:10Back off, Murray!
44:12He killed Patty!
44:15He's selling this stuff to a lousy subscriber channel.
44:17He deserved it!
44:18Quite probably.
44:20But not from you, not from us.
44:23We carry out objective investigative journalism, not personal vendetta.
44:27He killed Patty Ashton for his dreams!
44:36You better knock me down, too.
44:40I also broke Patty's dream this years ago, when I chose you instead of him.
44:44He died a bit then, too.
44:50So go ahead, knock me down.
44:54Go ahead.
45:00You do to me what you did to him over there.
45:05I think you owe somebody an apology.
45:09I think we both do.
45:14There's nothing I want to say.
45:24I'll just say I'm sorry.
45:28Both of you.
45:44Are you okay?
46:01Is that a professional inquirer?
46:05No.
46:06How long is it since anyone told you you're a great guy?
46:17I don't know.
46:36What do you do?
46:37I don't know.
46:58I don't know.
46:59I don't know.
47:00I don't know.
