You go to your room
with your pen...
1:17:06
...and your pad of paper,
always alone.
1:17:09
You try and lock in,
you crank out an ideogram.
1:17:13
Son of Sam,
John Wayne Gacy, Ted Bundy.
1:17:16
He might be driving his car,
having a beer, brushing his teeth...
1:17:21
...cutting someone's eyes out.
1:17:26
If you did it right,
you got it all.
1:17:29
The way it sounded,
the way it smelled.
1:17:33
Those people were looking right
up at you, begging you for mercy.
1:17:36
It was like being God.
1:17:38
But, of course, you're not God.
Can't do a thing for them.
1:17:46
They wired us into this current,
the five of us...
1:17:50
...darkness, the pit itself.
1:17:52
We were plugged right into it,
and no one taught us how to turn it off.
1:18:00
We saw things men shouldn't see.
1:18:04
Agony...
1:18:06
...torture...
1:18:08
...evil.
1:18:10
It never shut off.
1:18:14
I checked once
with all the guys that'd...
1:18:17
...been on the project when it
was just used for intel.
1:18:20
You know, finding gun-runners
and drug lords, Soviet missile sites...
1:18:27
...even the Iran hostages.
1:18:29
Anyway, I checked with them,
and they're all okay.
1:18:35
But the five of us...
1:18:38
...plugged into the brains and
nervous systems of human beings...
1:18:41
...that's when we lost it.
1:18:44
We're all either dead
or institutionalised.
1:18:51
After a while, those conversations
about the Yankees became impossible.
