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.

Fight it! Drill into him!

Doc Shadows clutches his hands to his forehead.

DOC SHADOWS

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

I almost

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.
