The Holly Kane Experiment

I'm sane and rational, and I am in control of my thoughts and feelings.

I'm sane and rational, and I am in control of my thoughts and feelings...

Today the ex-leader of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office...

...has gone on record to say it is a mistake to assume...

...the next UK terrorist attack will be in London...

...and that Jihadists could just as easily target Bristol or Portsmouth.

Michael Burke resigned last month, citing differences of opinion for his resignation.

With the terror threats at the second highest level...

...the shadow defense ministered has claimed that UK borders...

...have never been more vulnerable.

40% of the UK borders patrol vessels have been moved to the Aegean Sea...

...to deal with the migration crisis...

- Hello? - Ms. Kane?

I'm calling from East Sussex Hospital surgical unit.

We have a patient who needs his appendix removed...

...but he's highly allergic to anesthetic.

Our regular therapist is already engaged elsewhere.

I see you've not practiced with us before, could you provide a solution?

- Yup. Yeah, of course. - Our patient is in a critical condition.

How soon could you get here?

I can be there in 30 minutes.

Pain is not required for this procedure.

Pain is not required for this procedure.

Dr. Collins, this is Holly Kane.

We're a little bit pressed for time.

Soon you're going to hear a rapid beat.

This will entrain your brainwaves into theta rhythm.

It's a trance like state where your subconscious can acquire information...

...up to 2,000 words per minute.

Subliminal suggestions will then synchronize with the theta rhythm.

- Hello? - Good afternoon.

This is David Goldmen, senior registrar at the East Sussex Hospital.

I'm phoning about yesterday's emergency appendectomy.

- The patient is still numb. - That's to be expected.

The attending psychiatrist doesn't think so.

- The psychiatrist? - He believes your technique is dangerous.

It isn't dangerous. The patient just isn't feeling any pain.

Just give it time, it'll pass.

He's watched the video footage and he thinks there are grounds for malpractice.

This is ridiculous. What's his name? I'll speak to him.

I'm afraid our legal department will be in touch, Ms. Kane.

I'm not my sister. I'm not my sister.

I'm not my sister.

Sounds like bollocks to me.

The attending psychiatrist is obviously the one that's incorrect.

It's just another mind control technique to them.

Fuck him! Look, he hasn't got a case anyway. Have a drink.

- Have some drugs. - What's the next cocktail?

90 mils of MD with a pinch of ket and Thai grass.

You know, you could this and retreat.

I need something stronger.

I guess you're talkin' about research rather than recreation...

...since you won't even smoke a joint for fear of turning into your sister.

What do you need?

What you gave me is great, but I need to go deeper.

Deeply held beliefs are just further down than I thought.

I need to get to a place where I can access the absolute depths of my subconscious.

You need to get out more.

You know, step off the hamster wheel. Kickback, unwind, chill out.

Relax, playa.

Please.

- I suppose it might be possible. - Oh, you are a legend.

You haven't told anyone else about this, have you?

No one knows apart from me and you.

Alright, well as long as it stays that way, I'll give it a go.

That is why I love you.

- You're buying the shots. - Fine.

Hello, Ms. Kane. My name is Marvin Greenslade.

You might've heard of me, I was fortunate enough in the 1980's...

...to achieve one or two successes in the debriefing of cult victims.

It should be easy enough to research me.

I'd very much like to speak to you about something. Please, call me back anytime.

- Marvin Greenslade? - It's Holly Kane.

Ms. Kane! How very kind of you to return my call.

I did my thesis in subliminals. Your work was very influential.

Forgive me, I'm in the process of escaping a rather tedious gala dinner.

Would you allow me to buy you lunch tomorrow here in London?

I'd very much like to speak to you about something I've been working on.

Security forces are on high alert today...

...after Islamic state terrorists told the United Kingdom...

...to expect a doomsday attack that will eclipse the brutal Paris killings...

...and turn children's hair white.

The threat was made in the latest edition of extremist Arabic newspaper, Al-naba.

Theta entrained by neuro suggestion.

Ingenious.

There is a little bit more to it than that.

But I'm guessing you haven't given up all your trade secrets.

Well, I wouldn't want anybody to replicate my technique without my permission.

Just as I thought.

So what can I do for you, Mr. Greenslade?

Marvin, please. I run a research unit for psychological investigation.

Most research units wouldn't go anywhere near something like this...

...they'd see it as brainwashing.

As one of the original members of the anti-cult movement...

...I don't hold with that view at all.

We've found plenty of evidence of the efficacy of such techniques.

In fact, I'm of the firm belief that in the 1980's the whole concept...

...of mind control was deliberately discredited by vested interests...

...including mainstream religions, governments, and the corporate world...

...all of whom never stopped trying to control our minds.

The general populace has been brainwashed to dismiss brainwashing.

I can believe that.

So who funds you?

I came into some money which allows me to indulge my passion...

...for researching projects which might benefit society.

Why me?

Because no one else thought to synchronize subliminal suggestion...

...with the whole brain state. Have you done trials?

- Not yet. - I can get that organized for you.

I'm a great believer in experimentation.

I could also probably extricate you from any legal proceedings...

...attended on your little hospital adventure.

You're very well informed.

Old school tie, I'm afraid. The senior registrar was a classmate.

Well, I would need some time to develop my technique.

- I have clients I'd still need to see. - Of course.

But surely you've already proved that your technique works.

All that's missing are the clinical trials.

Most hypnosis can achieve what I've done.

I need to ensure that I can consistently change deeply held beliefs...

...before the trials. I need this to work on any limiting belief.

To get the unconscious to accept whatever you choose for it to believe.

It's the holy grail.

People suffer when the subconscious makes up its own mind.

Any ideas?

I've got a few tricks up my sleeve.

A senior French counter-terrorism church has today warned...

...that Isis has sent dozens of Jihadists to Europe...

...to carry out loan wolf attacks, thereby squandering intelligence agencies...

...with unsophisticated attacks while larger...

I don't normally do things like this, but...

...I've got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it.

Would you have dinner with me?

Nothing fancy, just a pizza or something.

That's really sweet of you, but I'm busy. I'm sorry.

I was... I was afraid you'd say that.

These butterflies feel like lead now.

You seem to be very aware of your emotions.

- They keep me sane. - Is that something you need to worry about?

- Not when I stay with my feelings. - What about when you need to think?

Most things of interest happen without any input from the mind.

- I'm not sure I agree. - That's because you're thinking about it.

Have dinner with me.

Don't pay any attention to your mind.

Yes.

Are you sure?

Give me a time and a place.

I need some inspirations, Al Harani.

How do you plunge someone into their unconscious...

...without making them unconscious?

So what drove you out of your mind?

You've been thinking about me.

My mind tends to do that sometimes.

- Don't let it run away with ya. - You avoiding my question?

My wife left me for somebody else...

...and I...

...I realized I hadn't only been in the wrong relationship, but in...

...in the wrong career as well. So...

...I had a bit of a meltdown.

What kind of meltdown?

I thought I was going crazy.

I...

...I was obsessing all the time, I was clinging to everything.

And then one day, it just... it just clicked.

I just... I realized that I had to just feel it all...

...and the more I felt, the more the craziness receded.

Then I moved to the seaside and I got a job as a gardener...

...and began to feel better.

What did you do before?

I was a civil servant.

Well, I could see how that might not have helped.

So do you have any other family?

You ask a lot of questions.

I'm interested.

Sisters?

I would've liked one, but no.

Brothers?

I'm afraid not.

You look sad.

You don't let up.

- Are you avoiding the camera? - No need for them to know my business.

Do you want them to see you?

It's not just CCTV anymore.

They have intelligent video analytics...

...which uses facial recognition and process inspection programs.

You are being watched.

We've got algorithms which can distinguish objects of interest.

It means that every camera in the city...

...could potentially be programmed to monitor my specific activities.

I have to warn you, you're beginning to sound a little bit paranoid.

Sorry, I...

- ...I was thinking again. - Yeah.

Looks like we picked the wrong night.

I think we should take some cover.

So... this is it.

Or will be.

I have your list of specifications so we should be able to get it all kitted out...

- ...over the weekend. - That's quick.
