ATTENDANT
I think you want to see them sir. Yes.

The attendant puts down the phone and looks at Fred and Lawyer.

ATTENDANT
Dr. Dobin will be out to see you shortly.

Dr. Dobin comes out about ten seconds later from the office on the other side of the hall.

DR DOBIN
Mr. Noble, so glad to see you. Perhaps there has indeed been some misunderstanding. You see Mr. Noble checked himself into our clinic.

FRED
Really? That sounds like crap to me.

DR DOBIN
He specifically requested that no one be informed that we admitted him. He is demonstrating...well, extreme catatonic manic depressiveness.

LAWYER
Those terms are contradictory.

DR DOBIN
Are they? Well, here, come-you'll see for yourself. He just sits in the corner and babbles to himself all day.

Dr. Dobin, Fred and Lawyer walk down the hall.

INT. PADDED CELL - DAY
Frank Noble has a straight jacket on and is babbling to himself. He looks up at a camera in the wall and makes faces at it. Then he turns to the wall.

FRED
I don't think you understand. My brother has been locked up here. As his next of kin, I was not notified. I demand to see him immediately.

ATTENDANT
What is the name of the patient?

FRED
Frank Noble.

ATTENDANT
I'm afraid we have no patient here by that name.

FRED
This is my lawyer, she seems to think that you're holding out on us.

LAWYER
I have definite testimony from another patient here that Mr. Noble is indeed here and being held against his will. We can contact law enforcement authorities but felt that it might be easier for all involved if we tried to handle the situation quietly, but if you insist on making a ruckus about the issue.

FRED
I'm in the mood to make a ruckus. Are you in the mood to make a ruckus?

LAWYER
I...couldn't say.

ATTENDANT
Hold please.

The attendant picks up the phone and calls Dr. Dobin again.

ATTENDANT
I think you want to see them sir. Yes.

J.R.R. THORNE
Send a medic up for Doc Shadows. Also arranged to have Frank sent to the Bellweather facility. Tell Jason his footage worked perfectly. He believed the whole thing. No. We didn't get the results. But we will.

J.R.R. Thorne puts the phone down and looks at a blathering Frank.

J.R.R. THORNE
We will.

EXT. LUNATIC ASSLYUM - DAY

FRED NOBLE heads towards a sanitarium with a lawyer in tow. Various patients lay around the grounds doing various crazy things. Fred is obviously very angry.

INT. LOBBY OF ASSLYUM – DAY

Fred walks up to the front desk. He approaches an attendant.

FRED
My name is FRED Noble. I want to see the person in charge of this place.

ATTENDANT
That would be Dr. Dobin. I'll get him.

The Attendant picks up the phone and dials a number.

ATTENDANT
Dr. Dobin? There is a FRED Noble here to see you. Yes. I'll tell him.

The attendant puts the phone down.

ATTENDANT
I'm sorry, but you will have to make an appointment.

FRED
I don't think you understand. My brother has been locked up here. As his next of kin, I was not notified. I demand to see him immediately.

J.R.R. THORNE
Fight it! Drill into him!
Doc Shadows clutches his hands to his forehead.

DOC SHADOWS
I …nearly….Impossible! Slashing and burning his own mind….he’s tossing aside his own sanity to keep me from

FRANK
Yo Hoho O forces of EVIL! Yohohohoho…I am the mighty….I am the MIGHTY

DOC SHADOWS

Doc Shadows collapses from the pain.
J.R.R. Thorne sits next to Frank Noble, looking into his now mad eyes.

J.R.R. THORNE
Touché Dr. Noble…touché….but I've got most of what I need. The rest is only a matter of time.

FRANK
I am the model of a modern major general, I am familiar with both animal vegetable and the prodigious use of highly placed explosives…

J.R.R. Thorne goes over to the phone again and presses a button.

J.R.R. THORNE

Thorne presses a button on the phone and speaks into it. The screen goes black. There is gunfire, and screams can be heard, Frank stares in horror at the screen, and shakes his head in denial.

J.R.R. THORNE
Kill them!

FRANK
NO!
DOC SHADOWS
I will regress you to the age of two for this. Just who do you think you are dealing with? Just because you have a little toy that keeps me from easily reading your mind does not really defend you from me.
J.R.R. THORNE
You WILL be party to this or everything we worked for is useless. His mind is now open to you, you know it, and I know it. Take him now, or do I have to find another telepath, and kill more of Dr. Noble’s family until I have what I want. You are expendable, he is expendable, but what he knows is not. By any means, my Dear Doctor.
Doc Shadows glares at Thorne, but finally squats again and stares into Dr. Noble’s eyes.

DOC SHADOWS
He’s still fighting, but I can…yes…I’m nearly there…I have it…

Doc Shadows shrieks in pain.
Frank Noble thrashes back and forth painfully.

FRANK
TALLYHO!

J.R.R. THORNE
I thought as much, fortunately, I’ve come prepared.

J.R.R. Thorne swings the chair around.

J.R.R. THORNE
Observe the video, Dr. Noble. I think you’ll be interested to see this.

J.R.R. Thorne holds Frank Noble’s head up to be able to see the video screen.

J.R.R. THORNE
Are those your parents, Dr. Noble?
Frank suddenly becomes more animated, and begins to struggle at the restraints.

FRANK
What are you doing?
J.R.R. THORNE
I thought as much. I do my homework Dr. Shadows, and I’ve come to learn that certain violent and sudden psychological trauma can undo these ‘psychic barriers’ you speak of. Let’s find out, shall we?
DOC SHADOWS
You know I do not condone to the harming of innocents. That was part of our arrangements.
J.R.R. Thorne picks up the phone and looks at Doc Shadows

J.R.R. THORNE
In this war, Dr. Shadows, there ARE no innocents.

J.R.R. THORNE
Your opinion isn’t necessary, Dr. Noble. In fact, if you had simply cooperated in the first place none of this would have happened. You’re a normal flesh and blood human being, like I am. If you can’t understand the logic of what I’m doing, then you’re just not cut out to be among the living…you’re no better than everyone else who blindly sits by and lets these demigods run amok about the earth.

DOC SHADOWS
(chuckles)
Am I a demi-god then?
J.R.R. THORNE
It is interesting Doctor Shadows, that you question my logic. You didn’t question it when you joined my organization. Are you doing so now?

DOC SHADOWS
(pauses)
No. It is necessary.

J.R.R. THORNE
Then proceed with your interrogation.
Doctor Shadows squats down on his legs and stares again into Frank’s eyes. There is a brief visible struggle.

DOC SHADOWS
Amazing…he’s still holding on some how. He’s got something he’s using as a psychic barrier against me….I’ve never seen such willpower.

DOC SHADOWS
Yes, he’s weakening…one more time and I should have it. I’m ready to begin at any time.
J.R.R. Thorne flips a switch on the side of the chair, causing Frank to jolt as if from an electric current.

J.R.R. THORNE
Why waste a perfectly good telepathic probe when you can do it the old fashioned way…

Doc Shadows turns off the switch.

DOC SHADOWS
That wasn’t necessary.
J.R.R. THORNE
Of course it didn't help get the information from him, but I think it was, Doctor Shadows, very necessary. It was the kind of necessary that a young mother feels when she shoots the man that ran over her child and drove away into the night, it’s the kind of necessary our founding fathers felt when they dumped the tea into the Boston Harbor, and it’s the kind of necessary that I’ve felt every day of my entire life for the last twenty years. I assure you Doctor Shadows, it was and is necessary.
DOC SHADOWS
I believe your logic has a few flaws in it Thorne.

FRANK
(weakened)
I’ll second that
