The Dead Pit

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.
