[Ambulance siren]
[Man crying out]
Dr. Gruber!
[Crying continues]
Doctor!
Mr. West!
Get out!
[Man yells, glass breaking]
Now?
Yes.
Move back.
[Man yelling]
My God.
[Yelling increases]
You idiots! You'll ruin my notes.
I have to record his vital signs!
No!
Dr. Gruber?
Dr. Gruber, how are you?
[Gruber and woman screams]
Dr. Gruber?
He's dead.
Of course, he's dead, the dosage was too large.
You killed him.
No, I did not.
I gave him life.
[♪ "Psycho" Tribute plays ♪]
[Equipment beeping]
Alright, I'm gonna zap her again.
Charge up the paddles.
- Come on, let's go! Let's go! - Sorry, doctor.
Hold the compressions.
Clear!
Straight line.
Alright, let's call it.
Cain.
She just needs a little more time for the drugs to circulate.
Cain, we have done everything that can be done for this woman.
She has not responded.
She's gone!
Cain, your optimism is touching, but a waste of time.
A good doctor knows when to stop.
- Dr. Harrod, just-- - Take her.
And take her to the morgue.
Gangway.
- How you doing? - Alright.
Mr. Cain.
Hey, Mace.
I got another one for you.
They ain't locked. Doc Hill's in the autopsy room.
Oh, thanks.
Don't know why they keep locked doors around here.
Nobody wants in...
and ain't nobody gettin' out.
Heh...
Yup.
Oh, full house.
[Panting]
[Sizzling]
[Gasps]
Oh, I'm sorry, Dan. I didn't mean to scare you.
Oh, it wasn't too bad Dean Halsey.
I just didn't know anybody was here.
You mean, "anybody else".
Dan, this is Herbert West.
He'll be joining you in your third year.
He was doing independent research in Switzerland
with Dr. Gruber shortly before he died.
Mr. West, this is Daniel Cain.
One of Miskatonic Medical's
best young hopes for the future of medicine.
What were you researching?
Death.
Oh, Alan, we don't see you around here much anymore.
Well, I was just showing our newest student,
Herbert West here, the not-so-grand tour.
This should interest you, Carl.
He worked with Hans Gruber.
Ah, Mr. West?
This is our eminent brain researcher and grant machine, Dr. Carl Hill.
I know your work, Dr. Hill.
Quite well.
Your theory on the location of the will in the brain is...
interesting.
Though derivative of Dr. Gruber's research in the early '70s.
So derivative, in fact, that in Europe it's considered plagiarized.
And your support of the 12-minute limit on the life of the brain stem after death--
6 to 12 minutes, Mr. ah...
West. Herbert West.
Frankly, Dr. uh, Hill?
Your work on brain death is outdated.
Uh, Carl, while I remember,
we're having a grant committee meeting Thursday.
Megan and I would love it if you came to dinner.
Well, I'd love to, Alan, looking forward to it.
And looking forward to seeing you in class, Mr. West.
Uh, Dean Halsey, I don't know if this is the right time, but I've been so busy--
No, this is the perfect time. What is it?
I wondered if you could write me a letter of recommendation,
for the... Wellman Scholarship.
Oh absolutely.
Of course.
I was going to suggest that you applied.
It's a very prestigious scholarship, Dan.
It'll do good things for your career.
- Thank you sir. - Mr. West.
I'll take you to Pathology.
Good.
- Hi. - Hi.
[Giggling] No.
No!
Oh yeah!
Oh!
[Both moaning]
I'm dead.
You work too much Dan.
[Both laugh]
Well, I can go to medical school and find out more.
- Rufus. - Hi Rufus.
Hi.
Hi baby.
Where have you been boy?
Yeah. Usually, you're always bothering us.
Yeah, he likes his new home.
Lots of new corners and closets to hide in.
I hadn't seen him all day yesterday.
Get out of here. C'mon.
It's a nice place Dan. I really like it.
Yeah?
Yeah.
So why don't you move in with me?
Please don't start. You know I can't.
You know...
its alright for two people who love each other...
to live together.
Yeah, I know.
But not me.
And especially not with one of Daddy's students. Okay?
[Chuckles]
I'm not sure, but I think that violates one of my civil rights.
You'll find a roommate.
Well, I better.
I can't afford this place by myself.
You know any eligible nurses?
Hey! That's not fair!
[Chuckles]
Uh...
[Meagan laughs] - Oh.
[Dan giggles]
- Don't. - Hey. You have a beautiful body.
[Meagan chuckles]
- You do. - Yeah?
I'm not sure that's a compliment.
Coming from someone who spends who spends most of his time with cadavers.
[Both laugh]
Hey. "Dead body's" is "Cadaver".
Beautiful.
Besides, you know...
you just don't jump...
when you tickle! [Meagan laughs]
Dan, don't! I hate that!
Stop.
Don't! Don't tickle me!
- He-he... Stop! - Okay.
Oh.
Oh, Rufus.
- I have to go. - Thanks a lot.
Stay.
- Daddy knows I'm here. - I don't care what Dean Halsey knows.
Well, you should care. For his sake, mine and yours--
I want you again.
- Now. - Be reasonable.
If I didn't come home one night...
just one night...
What would he do?
Expel me?
He has too much integrity for that.
He likes you, you know.
I like him.
He's out of touch with the times.
That's just the way he is.
The world's last living Puritan.
I really hate it.
I love you.
Marry me.
Dan--
It's a perfect solution. It solves all our problems.
Solving your rent problems.
It's hardly a firm basis for a marriage.
Besides...
Daddy wouldn't allow it.
What does he want me to do?
Whatever it is, I'll do it.
Graduate.
The day that you graduate,
the minute you get your M.D., I'll marry you,
and I'll help you, and I'll be with you
as much as I can until then.
I promise.
Back to square one.
Well, at least it gives me a chance to housebreak you.
Housebroken, is it?
I'm going to have to teach you a lesson, my girl.
What are you doing?
Yeaaaow!
Dan! [Laughs]
Dan, stop! Don't!
[Evil laugh]
- Dan, stop it! - Come, my pretty.
Dan, I don't like that!
Don't!
- There's not a jury in the world... - Stop!
that would convict me!
Dan, stop it!
Doctor Dan!
Dan, don't, come on, stop!
- I'm going! I have to go! - Come here! Come to me.
- Oh. - What?
Oh, shit.
Hi.
Can I help you?
You're here about the apartment.
Yes.
Didn't we meet this morning? You're...
West. Herbert West.
Excuse me just one sec.
- Come in. - Thank you.
I startled you.
- Yes, you did. - Hmm.
May I introduce my fiancée, Megan Halsey?
- Miss Halsey. - Mr. West.
I'm afraid the place is still kind of a mess, Mr. West.
Oh... Herbert.
So, you've just come from Europe?
Switzerland.
What was Dr. Gruber like? He was pretty famous.
Yes, pretty famous...
Does this building have a basement?
Oh, yes.
Yes.
I think this will be just fine.
I have my things outside, shall I move in now?
Look, I have to go.
I think you and Mr. West have a lot to discuss
before you decide anything.
Oh, I've decided.
Well, I'd like--
You know, you'll never even know that I'm here.
Dan, I--
Except, of course, on the first of the month.
Mr. West?
Miss Halsey?
You didn't say why you left Switzerland.
There was no more I could learn there.
Do we... have a deal?
Done.
You make the incision at the base of the skull...
cutting away enough of the faschia...
to get your fingers in...
and then grasping firmly with both hands,
you pull the skin forward over the head.
It is very much like peeling a large orange.
[Class laughing]
Once the skull is plainly visible,
you take the bone saw...
[Saw whirring]
and you cut around the perimeter.
[Saw grinding]
[Saw off]
And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen,
the human brain.
Once the brain stem of an individual,
I'm talking about the reticular activating system,
heart regulation, respiratory center.
Once these activities cease,
the brain can only survive an additional 6 to 12 minutes.
6 to 12 minutes.
Until...
brain death brings about an irreversible conclusion.
We all want to retain our personalities
in some idyllic afterlife.
We all pray for some miracle,
some drug,
potion, pill.
Perhaps, though...
it takes something else.
Perhaps it takes desire, an obsessive desire.
Perhaps it ta--
We will discuss the location of the will in the brain structure
at another time.
Mr. West!
I suggest you get yourself a pen!
Class dismissed.
How can you teach such drivel?
These people are here to learn and you're closing their minds
before they even have a chance!
What are you here for, Mr. West?
You know, you should have stolen more of Gruber's ideas,
then at least you'd have ideas!
Mr. West!
It is gonna be a pleasure to fail you.
I would like to propose a toast
to the National Science Foundation
for recognizing the genius of Dr. Carl Hill,
and for awarding Miskatonic Medical School
its largest grant ever.
Your new laser drill is gonna revolutionize neurosurgery.
To the foundation, and to Miskatonic.
It's alright, sweetheart, you can drink up.
We're celebrating.
I know, Daddy, but I have to go soon.
After preparing such a feast? You must be tired.
I have a study date.
With Daniel?
Yeah.
Daniel Cain?
Mm-hm.
Herbert West has moved in with him, hasn't he?
For the time being.
[Doorbell] That must be him. Excuse me.
So, your daughter is seeing Cain, eh?
You think that's wise, Alan?
Dan!
Hello, sir.
Dr. Hill.
Would you join us for a glass of wine?
Actually, we have some work to do.
Why don't you study here?
Well, I've her home soon, don't worry.
Well then... one last toast.
To Megan...
my esteemed colleague's capable,
beautiful, loving daughter,
the obsession of all who fall under her spell.
- I'll drink to that. - Here, here!
Are you sure, you won't stay with us?
We promise not to be too boring.
And you do look tired, my dear.
Very tired.
Um, no. That's okay, um...
you two have a good time.
Bye, Daddy.
- Now don't be too late. - Okay.
I'll see you soon. Dr. Hill...
- Thanks again. - Bye.
How 'bout some Brandy?
Your daughter has grown into an enchanting young woman.
Oh, yes she has.
You know, since Maryanne died...
she's taken care of the house, the cooking and me.
It'll be a shame when she leaves.
She deserves the best, Alan.
[Chuckles]
Someone... clearly superior.
Oh, give the boy a chance.
He's a very good scholar.
He needs our help, Carl.
He deserves our Wellman Scholarship.
Oh, I don't know, Alan.
Perhaps.
But I can't help wondering...
is he morally fit, to be a doctor?
What do you mean?
Well, as you said...
he's a clever young man.
He knows full well, he's dating the deans daughter.
He could be using her, to gain an advantage with you.
I suspected the same thing, in the beginning.
He's proven himself to be a perfect gentleman.
Oh, of course.
But after he gets the scholarship...
he won't need her then.
I don't believe that.
I trust him.
Meg, trusts him.
Meg has matured a great deal, in the past few years.
But she's still young...
and impressionable.
And now Cain is rooming with that West character.
West, is a strange bird, I'll grant you that.
He's a cancer, Alan.
His intelligence is highly questionable.
He's disrespectful...
tells lies about the staff.
I think he's deranged.
Dangerous.
Dangerous?
Yes, Alan.
And Cain is with him, all the time.
And with your daughter.
Cain, is dangerous.
He's dangerous.
To the school...
and to your daughter.
Your beautiful...
young...
loving, daughter.
Dangerous.
My God.
[Dog barking]
[Clunk]
What is it?
It's nothing.
What's the matter?
Nothing.
He's not here, you know.
He's still on shift, at the hospital.
- It's not West. - No?
[Both chuckle]
You know, ever since he moved in, you come over less and less.
And when you do, you're in a case of repressed hysteria.
I'm sorry, Danny. But he makes my skin crawl.
Well, he's just one of your typical geniuses.
He's, um...
he's very intelligent, he's very private.
Doesn't quite act like other people.
But he--but he's been no problem, really.
Yeah.
[Exhales]
[Deep exhale]
No, Dan.
No.
Please!
Okay, what is it?
I don't know.
Look, it's not you, really.
It's just a lot of little things.
Like what?
Well, West is always in his room with the door closed.
I mean, do you ever see him?
Does he ever eat?
I told you, he's a little cracked.
He bothers you, too.
No, don't be ridiculous.
Rufus is terrified of him.
When West comes in, he runs and hides.
Rufus hides and runs all the time,
- it's standard cat activity. - Yes, but not when we're together,
then he's all over us trying to get your attention and...
Where is he?
I haven't seen him since we got here.
It's okay, he's around here.
I haven't even heard him,
usually he at least knocks something over when I'm here.
Pss pss pss pss.
Rufus... Rufus... Rufus.
Pss pss pss pss.
Come on, you fat cat.
Here, kitty!
Rufus.
Come on now, you mad animal.
Don't you try to hide from me.
- Rufus. - I know all of your tricks.
Rufus? Where are you, boy?
Here, kitty.
Pss pss pss pss.
Here, kitty.
Pss pss pss pss.
Rufus. Hey, boy!
Pss pss pss pss.
[Sighs]
Rufus?
Rufus.
Rufus?
Pss pss pss pss.
Come here.
Rufus, are you in here?
Here, boy.
Here, kitty.
Pss pss pss pss.
Rufus?
Oh, Dan, I think it's...
What are you doing in my room?
- How dare you come in... - Dan!
Dan!
What's the matter? What's the matter?
I thought I was renting a private room, Dan!
Meg, what the hell are you doing in here?
- I-- - Would you please leave, now!
Easy, Herbert!
- Come on-- - In the fridge!
My God.
I was going to show you.
Shut up.
What happened?
It was dead when I found it.
You killed him.
He hated you!
Meg. It suffocated.
It knocked the garbage over and it got its head stuck in a jar.
You weren't home, so I put it in there.
I certainly didn't think you'd want to find it like that.
I didn't want to stink the place up.
I was going to show you.
You couldn't call, or write a note?
I was busy pushing bodies around, as you well know,
and what would a note say, Dan?
"Cat dead, details later"?
I knew you were fond of it.
You killed him, I know you did. He killed him!
Besides, I do not like people in my room!
Alright, that's enough.
I think you both better leave, now.
- What the hell is this? - That is none of your business.
- Yeah, I think it is my business! - Just as it is none of my business
that you're sleeping with Dean Halsey's daughter.
You know, I would not want to see a fellow student,
especially one as promising as yourself,
be thrown out of school, out of the profession...
on moral ground.
I think Dr. Halsey just might understand.
Oh, do you?
Well, you may well be right.
Are you sure you want to find out?
Dan! Dan, he's right.
It's your life! You know how Daddy is.
He could kill your scholarship.
Dear, diluted, little Danny.
So much he doesn't know. Isn't there?
Come on, Dan. Let's get out of here.
Dan.
Garbage to garbage.
I want him out of here tonight!
No, Dan. We need more on him.
I'll check Daddy's files.
[Cat screams]
Herbert.
Herbert!
You hear that sound?
West! West!
West, what is that?
[Cat screams]
Whoa!
[Cat screaming] [West shouting]
Get off of...
Cain!
Get out of here!
Get it off of me!
- What the hell is it?! - Later! Later!
[Cat growling]
Aw, shit.
There he is! Shit.
Don't move.
[Cat howls]
Look out!
There it goes under the stairs, it's under the stairs.
[Cat cries]
Okay, I got it.
I got it.
[Cat screams]
[Cat cries]
How?
Look out!
[West laughing]
I don't know, I-- I can't seem to focus.
It is really quite simple.
All life is a physical and chemical process, correct?
It stands to reason then, that if one could find extremely fresh specimens
and recharge that chemical process, bang, we have re-animation.
- The theory is not new, West. - But my reagent is.
Read.
"With various animating solutions,"
"I have killed and brought to animated life,"
"a number of rabbits, guinea pigs, cats, and dogs."
I've broken the 6 to 12 minute barrier.
I've conquered brain death.
"With the higher animals and the consequent"
increased strength of solution, reaction has become more violent...
and my research has become more difficult.
Which is why I need you to help me.
Help you?
You are the perfect person to assist me.
You're hard-working, bright, people respect you,
and you have access to certain authorities.
We can defeat death.
We can achieve every doctor's dream.
You'll be famous... and live lifetimes.
You haven't done this on people?
I've done all I can here.
I'll need new lab space.
You will help me.
- No! - Why? Because it's mad?
No, because I don't believe you.
How can you say that? You've seen the results.
No, Rufus wasn't dead to begin with.
You drugged him and reduced his vital signs.
You lowered his body temperature. He couldn't have been dead.
Do you agree that he's dead now?
West, no!
West, stop!
I'll show you.
- Then you'll help me. - No!
Yes, you will.
That is why I brought the infernal beast back to life in the first place.
- In the brain? - Of course.
Don't expect it to tango, it has a broken back.
[Cat crying]
God! Why does it make that noise?
Birth is always painful.
It was dead.
Twice.
[Meg screams]
- Oh, it's him! - Baby, what are you doing here?
It's Rufus! How did...
- Come on, let's go upstairs. - Oh! Oh, my God.
God! It's morning already.
- Dan! What happened? - It was incredible!
No, I mean, it was an incredible experiment!
Herbert West has overcome physical death!
West?
Dan, that's why I came.
I--I tried to call. But no one answered.
I was so worried. As soon as I could get out, I came.
I went through Daddy's files last night.
When Wests' professor Dr. Gruber in Switzerland died.
Well, for hours afterwards, West...
did things to the body.
The police had to tear him away.
He was in psychiatric observation for months.
I tried to save him.
- Now, you'll tell Halsey? - Damn right, we'll tell him!
And you'll be outta here so fast, your head will spin!
Meg, you know, let me talk to your father.
I'll tell him.
Dan.
I think we should have a little talk.
Yes sir.
You think it's wise, doing what you're doing?
What?
Dating the deans daughter.
Sir...
I have something very important I need to discuss with you.
Yes, I've been expecting that.
It's the scholarship. Right?
Herbert West has effected re-animation in dead animal tissue.
Mr. Cain...
- I'm surprised. - No, I--I've seen it.
He brought back a dead animal, a cat, back to life.
I hadn't expected such nonsense from you, Mr. Cain,
but I should have guessed it when you took up with Mr. West.
I know he's unstable, but I've seen the results,
and so has your daughter.
What have you been doing with my daughter?
She walked into an experiment.
You've involved Megan in your insanity?
I never intended to involve her.
Tomorrow morning, you will submit to me a written apology
for this entire affair.
These experiments were clearly beyond the scope of your legitimate studies.
They've obviously interfered with your ability to do your class work.
If any equipment from the hospital or from the laboratories
of Miskatonic University were involved in any of this unauthorized activity,
criminal charges may be pressed.
You will, in any case, have your student loan rescinded.
My loan?
I won't be able to continue school.
As for Mr. West, he needs submit no apology.
You may tell him that he may continue with his research
without the impediment of an education.
As of now, he is no longer a student of this university.
Sir, can we please just discuss this?
I think you're being blinded by your emotions.
That will be all, Mr. Cain.
Don't take this out on Meg.
She tried to stop me.
I said that will be all.
I'll talk to him.
It won't do any good.
He listens to me.
- I've gotta talk to West. - You've got to avoid him.
Daddy's angry now.
But he'll listen to me. He likes you. He always has.
But you've got to separate yourself from West.
Meg...
don't you understand what he's done?
What we could do?
Well, what about what we could do?
I love you.
I love you too.
And I accept.
What?
I accept your proposal.
Let's get married.
- Your father-- - It's perfect. Don't you see?
Daddy will have to come around eventually.
And West won't have anything to hold over us.
And we'll be together.
- Okay, I just have to talk to West first-- - No!
Dan, don't!
I'll get a job, 'til this blows over.
You keep your job driving. Daddy will see that we're serious.
Yes.
Daddy will see that we're serious.
- West-- - You still don't believe
what you saw this morning. Do you miss Halsey?
Dan, come with me.
West, we've been thrown out of school. He's threatened to call the police.
Oh, yes?
Curious... He didn't seem such a fool.
He must have been talking to Hill.
You're right.
He was different. He was angry from the start.
He'll roll on you! He doesn't care about anything
except his own crazy ideas!
- Can't you see that?! - Meg...
he's right! Your father's wrong!
Okay--okay, now, what do we do now?
- We prove it to him. - Danny, listen to me!
- It's the only way, Danny. - I'll tell Daddy that
you plan to go home with the experiments.
- I'll tell him. - Please do.
A--and tell Dr. Hill too.
Dan, please! Please come with me!
He is a maniac! He may even be a murderer!
- Meg! - You're in danger!
Meg... we can save millions of lives!
Oh, yes. We could save everyone’s life.
Okay, we need-- we need the lab animal.
[Chuckles]
I'm gonna tell Daddy.
He'll stop you!
For your own good, Dan. He'll stop you!
No, he'll never except an animal subject.
He'll claim it's some sort of artificial stimulus response.
There's only one kind of proof that he'll accept.
That he'll have to accept.
No. No, Herbert, we can't do that.
Oh, yes... We can.
- Oh, they keep on a-comin', don't they? - Oh, yeah.
You ain't got my lunch under there, have you?
Yeah, one meatball run over by a semi.
Ew!
I lost my appetite. You gonna be around for a while?
- Yeah. - I might go fetch me some coffee.
- Take your time. - You got it.
Meatball?
Just put your shoes on.
Oh, damn, if we get caught...
Oh, well, what will they do?
Embalm us?
Let's go.
Okay.
"Burn victim."
- Here's your meatball. - Oh.
"Shotgun wound to the head."
Oh, God, he's rotten.
- "Malpractice." - Shit.
Let's go, we're not gonna find anything.
Wait. Wait!
Yes, I think you.
How long?
He arrived early this evening.
John Doe, apparently just dropped dead.
No record of any damage. It's almost perfect.
- Why almost? - Could be heart damage.
- Then just find another one! - No! We do not have time!
All we need tonight
is a specific, conscious reaction.
He's been dead for hours.
Any evidence of re-animated consciousness will justify proceeding.
Start the recorder.
Start the damn recorder!
Make the entry.
October...
- Tenth. - Tenth.
- Subject: Male. - Age?
Age, early twenties.
- Physical condition? - No deformities.
Appears to have been in excellent physical condition.
Apparent cause of death...
um... what?
Heart failure.
Time is 10:33 PM.
10:33 PM.
15 cc's.
15 cc's of reagent being administered.
He loves me, we're getting married.
He's mad! I've seen this happen to medical students before.
Good ones!
Dr. Harrod, is Mr. Cain loose in this hospital?
In the morgue, I think, doctor.
I specifically told Dr. Riley to suspend him,
and to take him off the floor if he reported to work!
Dr. Riley's been in emergency surgery for four hours.
I haven't seen him.
Time elapsed.
15 seconds.
Something should have happened by now.
[Telephone rings]
[Ring continues]
It's not working.
Let's get out of here!
Obviously, the human dosage factor is unknown.
Increasing the dosage, 20 cc's of reagent.
- Herbert, let's go! - No!
Ohhh...
Damn!
Page Mr. Cain and have him report to Level L security desk,
and make sure that she stays right here.
You can't stop me! I followed you here, and I'm gonna follow you
- until you listen to me! - Megan!
- I love him! - You're my daughter,
and you'll do as you're told!
Sit down, Miss Halsey.
Mr. Cain will be up soon, you can discuss it then.
Don't blame him, Daddy!
We failed.
Come on, let's go!
I mean, someone could be coming any minute!
He failed! Not I!
Paging System: Mr. Cain, Mr. Daniel Cain,
please report to the security desk, Level L
Oh, God.
Cover him up.
Let's go.
- Let's go! - Alright!
Yeeeeeaaaaaahhhh!
[Crashing and moaning]
Grab him!
Stop!
It listened to me.
Cain?
Cain, open up this door!
Help!
Get help!
Is West in there with you?
You're in a lot of trouble, both of you!
[Crunch]
No!
Let go!
Stop!
For God's sakes!
Stop!
Dan...
look out.
[Saw whirring]
[Pressure whirring]
[Crunching]
Oh...
[Saw off] [Crash]
[Splat]
Come on.
Find the recorder!
- Herbert... no! - Did you see him react?
He listened to me. It made a conscious act.
He heard you as an animal would.
Herbert, no, you can't be serious!
Eh, you may be right.
It'd probably been dead too long. It wasn't fresh enough!
We probably only revived the senses and the instincts, so, come on!
Help me get him up.
Is he dead?
Of course, will you give me a hand here?
Now, he interrupted an important experiment in progress.
Granted, it was an accident.
But this is the freshest body that we could come across
save of killing one ourselves,
and every moment that we spend talking about it costs us results!
Now will you give me a hand?
Dan...
we can bring him back to life.
Yes.
Okay.
Now, get the recorder.
Find my serum.
This is a dream.
Fiction.
Here. Do his other hand.
Oh, good.
Unbreakable plastic.
It's one of man's few durable inventions.
Certainly more durable than this.
We need you in the crash room.
Coming.
12 cc's being administered.
The dosage lessened in accordance to the freshness of the subject.
5 seconds.
Come on.
I'll show you.
15 seconds. I'll show you!
17 seconds.
Re-animation at 17 seconds! The eyes opened!
Doctor. Dr. Halsey,
you once did me a favor by letting me into your medical school.
Doctor...
welcome back to life.
Daddy?
Dan?
Damn that bitch.
Megan...
Meg?
Dan.
[Chocking sound]
What is it, are you alright?
Dan, he's trying to speak, the recorder!
Rrrrraaaaahhhh!
No!
Daddy!
- Daddy, no! - No! No, Meg, don't go near him!
- No! - What the hell happened here?
Dan, you alright?
Who's that?
[Halsey whimpering]
Uh... that is Dean Halsey, sir.
You see I came down here to visit Mr. Cain,
who was here working and Halsey entered
and started ranting at us, rather irrationally.
No!
He was just angry!
- Daddy! - Meg.
What happened?
Who's that over there?
Uh, just, a--just a corpse.
You see, Halsey came in, grabbed that thing,
and, well, went crazy.
Dean Halsey? Dean Halsey!
Arrest them!
I'm calling the police!
Oh, Daddy!
[Halsey whimpering] [Meg crying]
Shock.
Don't worry.
Eat that. We have work to do.
First of all,
there are a few decisions that we have to make.
Now fortunately, the police accepted
the explanation, that Halsey went mad.
Well, what else could they believe?
The truth? That he died and came back?
We did it, Dan!
Did you see him react, to his daughter?
He recognised her. He knew who she was.
And he knew, what had happened to him.
He had conscious thought!
Oh.
So...
So, we can stay here in school, if we want.
It is up to us, Dan, what our next move--
is going--
umph...
when we show the world--
gahhh--
[Door slams]
Uh, Dan!
The hypo.
- God, Herbert, you're actually-- - No!
No, it's just a weak solution.
So I don't have to sleep, just to keep the brain...
sharp.
- No! - Yes!
I need it!
Please?
- How much? - 5 cc's.
Oh! Give it to me.
Please!
[Yells]
Now...
we must make our plans.
[Straining grunts]
[Yelling]
Daddy.
He can't hear you, or see you.
That's a one-way mirror.
What is wrong with him, Doctor?
Will he ever be--
Until we know exactly what happened to him,
there's no way to determine his course of recovery.
That's why I need you to sign a release,
so that I can perform exploratory surgery on him.
Is that absolutely necessary, Dr. Hill?
I know how difficult this must be for you.
But I'm convinced that your father's problem is neurological.
Of course, we'll take every precaution.
You must trust me.
I want to take a look at the right frontal lobe.
I'll open the skull here--
I... don't want to know.
Just help him.
Please, doctor.
Please let me talk to him.
No.
I must insist you leave his treatment up to me.
And I insist...
you call me Carl.
I want you to think of me as someone you can come to with your problems.
Or if you're ever lonely.
I know you're all by yourself now.
[Thud] [Meg yelps]
[Meg crying]
I'm going to take care of him, doctor,
and I'm going to find out what happened to him.
First and second lumbar vertebrae are crushed.
And dorsal ganglion is torn.
Inferior cervical ganglion is torn.
The neck, is broken!
Dean Halsey, is clearly dead.
Patients' brain wave is erratic.
Disconnected.
Ha...
I've never seen anything like it.
The patient, though apparently dead...
must be made docile...
so that he can be studied, more closely.
[Sizzling]
What are you doing here?
I've been waiting for you.
I have to tell you.
What did you do to him?
What did you and West do to him to make him like that?
It was... it was horrible.
I didn't...
What did you do to him?
He's not insane.
He's dead.
No.
No!
You're insane, you are insane, no!
You know it's true, Meg.
You know it's true.
No!
Daddy.
I'll tell you, Meg. Everything.
Good evening, Mr. West.
What do you want?
I want to know why Halsey's heart fibrillated.
I don't have to talk to you.
Why his pulse is erratic.
I've told everything I know to the police.
Why he cries out in pain.
You can leave now, doctor.
When we both know he is quite dead.
Hmm...
Interesting little laboratory you have here.
Ah! Mr. West!
I recognize this. Hmm.
[Chuckles and tsks]
What do you want?
Yes, we are both scientists.
Let us get to the point.
I want your discovery.
Whatever it is that gives the dead the appearance of life.
Oh, it is not the appearance of life.
It is life. This is not magic.
As you say, I am a scientist.
I'll have you locked up for a madman...
or a murderer.
You will do...
what I tell you to do.
Yes, doctor.
I want to see your notes.
Ingenious, Mr. West.
Your extension of that old fool Gruber's work is really quite...
brilliant.
You...
will be my assistant.
We will work...
very closely together.
And in a year or so...
I will reveal, to an astonished world...
my new serum.
They will retire the Nobel Prize in my name.
And you, as my assistant...
will be famous.
That leaves only Cain.
He, will disappear.
Ohhhh...
- Yes. - Yes.
I think, West believes, we'll really get away with it.
Oh, ha...
and I didn't think that at all.
Huh...
I think, he's only excited, by the experiment.
We tried to save him.
West, killed the...
the thing.
The corpse.
West, killed the corpse.
I see how that sounds.
I'll go to the police, but I gotta have proof.
I'll turn myself in, but I gotta see your father first.
He's dead.
I have to prove it.
Has Dr. Hill examined your father?
Yes.
He wanted to do exploratory surgery on him.
Oh, shit.
Then he'll find out.
Eventually he'll find out.
Let us see...
my new serum at work. Hmm?
Dead cat tissue.
Oh.
The reagent.
Magnificent.
Yes, Mr. West.
I will be famous.
Plagiarist!
Yes.
Parts.
I've never done whole...
parts.
Wesssssst!
Yes, doctor.
It's Herbert West.
What are you thinking?
How do you feel?
Yooooooou.
" You."
Baaaaaa
staaarrrd!
[Screams]
Dan!
Oh my God, what has Hill done to him?
Looks like a laser drill.
Your father's been lobotomized.
That's it.
My work! My work!
What's going on?
My work! It's gone!
It's all gone!
He took my serum!
Except for what I have upstairs.
Who?
What happened here?
Hill.
Hill took my serum! My notes! Everything.
Herbert, you're insane! Now, what happened here?
I had to kill him!
What?
He's dead?
Not any more.
No, Herbert! This has gotta stop!
Look, he tried to blackmail me, Dan.
- Enough is enough! - And he wanted you to disappear!
Oh.
Oh, that's why he did it to Halsey.
What? You've seen Halsey?
He lobotomized him, so he could control him in case
he ever tried to talk or tell somebody what happened.
So he could protect his discovery.
- Yes. - Very clever.
I gotta tell Meg.
What does Meg have to do with this?
Hill's got this weird file on her,
it's full of napkins and hair and photographs.
I think he's projected some sort of psychotic need onto her.
[Laughs]
You're sick. You're as sick as he is!
Oh, I don't think so.
- So, what do we do now?! - Well...
we're the only ones that know the truth.
Yes?
So...
he'll have to come to us.
You mean, after us.
Yes.
[Chuckling]
Are you sure he's coming?
Yes.
Because if what you told me is true, he can hardly just, walk down the street.
Perhaps not him, but somebody. Some, thing, will.
And we're just gonna sit here.
I told you, I have a plan.
I bet you do.
So do I.
Oh, now, Dan, he spoke words.
The speech patterns, the muscle control.
You just wait 'til you seen him. You wait.
Alan.
I still don't understand why he'd come here.
Because, he wants the credit.
Both of him.
No, don't you understand?
We stand between him and his obsessive desire.
[Whispering] Obsessive desire.
Besides, he hates me. Well...
he's jealous.
Meg!
Oh, my God.
Don't you see? It's not us he wants.
It's her!
I gotta go now!
Is that you, Dr. Hill?
[Muffled] Of course it's me.
Break time.
[Gasps]
That's... better.
[Knocking] Meg? Meg!
Dan? Dan...
- I was so afraid. - What is it?
What's the matter?
Well...
I don't know, I...
I was just worried about you.
Why?
I...
I just feel horrible about everything.
I guess I'm just getting paranoid.
It's just...
so hard to lose you.
You should go away.
Transfer to another school.
Don't worry about me.
You're the one that should get away.
Go live your life.
Find somebody.
I tried to hate you.
I wanted so much to hate you.
I love you.
No! Daddy!
Dr. Halsey.
No, Daddy!
Oh, no, Daddy!
Don't! [Screams]
[Sizzling]
[Bang]
The door.
Oh...
yes...
Alan...
Ahhhhh!
Dan?
Dan?!
Come on.
Ahhhhh!
Oh, well, you'll be alright.
Meg!
Oh, my God.
Where, Herbert?
He's at the hospital I imagine. Can you stand up?
Let's go.
Oh...
Meg.
[Yelps]
[Screams]
[Hill laughing]
I've always...
admired your beauty, my dear.
I think I've always loved you.
You will love me.
You will!
Please!
Please stop!
Let me go!
That's it, my dearest Meg...
more passion!
- Oh, my God! - Yes, my love!
I must say, Dr. Hill...
I'm very disappointed in you.
You steal the secret of life and death,
and here you are trysting with the bubble-headed coed.
You're not even a second-rate scientist.
Ah! Mr. West!
I'm actually glad to see you.
It saves me the trouble of having to send for you.
You'll never get credit for my discovery.
Who's gonna believe a talking head?
Get a job in a sideshow.
I wonder why
an intelligent young man like yourself
should make such a foolish, fatal mistake,
of coming here to challenge me.
Oh... I have a plan.
So do I.
[Laughing]
Let go of me!
Enough!
I will show you power, Mr. West!
My discovery,
a laser surgical drill.
It makes possible a new technique in lobotomy,
which results in total mastery
of the human will.
Re-animated subjects
have proven to be the best.
They will give me power!
Undreamed of power.
Stay behind me.
[Sizzling]
Daddy, listen to me.
It's Megan, Megan!
Hill, they'll kill her!
Then I'll give her life!
Look at me!
Ah! Ahhh!
Ahhhhh!
Ahhhh!
What the...
Aaaaahhhhh!
[Re-animated corpses scream]
Herbert, come on! Let's go.
Come on!
No, wait!
I am not through here!
Megan, no! No!
- No! Let me go! - I told you, I have a theory!
- Overdose! - No!
Herbert!
Look out!
Daddy!
Go, Meg!
My notes!
Let's go.
Oh, no!
Stop it!
Come on!
Meg!
My God! Megan!
Dan, take her into number three!
Bring her this way!
Is she breathing?
Okay, hurry, hurry, she's got nothing!
Activating.
Air on.
Somebody give me some paste!
On three!
Okay, everybody off!
Clear.
Nothing.
Bringing back air.
The trachea's fractured.
She's fixed and dilated.
No response.
Cain.
[Whimpers]
I love you.
[Megan screams]
