You see...
:24:09
You see...
:24:13
This pituitary extract is responsible
for the occasional flashes of psi ability

:24:18
which most human beings demonstrate
from time to time.

:24:22
Precognition, telekinesis,
mental domination,

:24:25
the kind of domination that this
experiment brought out in Andrew McGee.

:24:30
What is the point, Doctor?
:24:32
Since this child was born, her father has
tried to inhibit her use of those powers.

:24:37
But what if his control
had weakened now?

:24:44
Why would he lose control now
after all these years?

:24:48
Ask yourself this question.
:24:50
How exhausting must it have been
for Victoria and Andrew McGee

:24:55
when this child was an infant?
:24:58
The bottle is late. The baby cries.
:25:01
And at that moment, one of her stuffed
toys right there in the crib beside her

:25:05
bursts into smoky flame.
:25:08
Joe, she's just a little girl.
She can light fires, yes,

:25:11
but you're making her sound
like Armageddon.

:25:15
That's what it might well be.
:25:18
Suppose lighting fires
is merely the tip of the iceberg.

:25:22
I don't know what you're talking about.
:25:25
I am talking about a talent
that is directly linked

:25:27
to this child's pituitary gland,
undeveloped pituitary gland.

:25:31
What happens when she becomes
adolescent and that sleeping gland wakes

:25:36
and becomes, for 20 months, the most
powerful force in the human body?

:25:41
Suppose we have a child here
who some day is capable

:25:47
of creating a nuclear explosion
simply by the power of her will.

:25:52
- That's insane.
- Is it? Is it?

:25:57
Then allow me to progress
from insanity to utter lunacy.
