:23:00
- Yes.
- Good.
:23:02
You called me a scanner.
:23:05
What is that?
:23:09
Freak of nature...
:23:10
Born with a certain form of E.S.P.,
:23:15
a derangement of the synapses
:23:19
which we call telepathy.
:23:23
Could be a disease, possibly,
:23:25
or a result of radiation.
:23:27
We don't really know why.
:23:33
Who are you?
:23:36
My name is Dr. Paul Ruth.
:23:39
I'm a psychopharmacist by trade,
:23:41
specializing in the phenomenon
:23:43
of scanners.
:23:48
The woman in the shopping mall.
What were you doing to her?
:23:53
I wasn't doing anything to her.
:23:56
It was her.
:23:59
She was...
:24:01
forcing me...
:24:03
To what?
:24:07
To think about her.
:24:10
The 50 people that were in this room
they appeared to disturb you.
:24:14
Why was that?
:24:15
They talked too loud.
:24:17
They talked, and they talked.
:24:19
Really? I didn't see
their lips move, did you?
:24:22
No, it was the other voices.
:24:24
The ones without lips.
:24:26
They were drowning me.
:24:28
I couldn't stop them.
:24:33
The injection I gave you, the needle.
:24:36
What happened to the voices?
:24:38
They stopped.
:24:40
The drug is called ephemeral.
:24:44
It's a scan suppressant.
:24:46
It does nothing
when it's given
to ordinary human being.
:24:49
When given to a scanner,
:24:52
it prevents the flow of telepathy.
:24:55
It stops the voices.
:24:58
It can help you.
