Control Page #6

Synopsis: Lee Ray Oliver grew up from abused kid to sociopath, inevitably condemned to death, but wakes up in the morgue after the 'lethal' injection. Dr. Michael Copeland offers him a choice: the real killer drug or 'volunteering' as life-long test person for his pharmaceutic experiment, Anagress, meant to suppress violent tendencies but side-effects unknown. After vicious escape attempts, Lee Ray finally develops genuine remorse and tries to make-up with Gary Caputo, who Lee shot in the head, leaving him mentally a child. Brother Bill Caputo's hate for ruining both of their lives is however redoubled, with tragic consequences.

I need a drink.

Anybody want a drink?

- Hello?

- Michael, is he still in the house?

No, he's outside.

He crapped all over the floor.

I think he's got worms.

- I'm keeping him outside.

- Does he still have a gun?

No, but the vet

should check him out.

- He'll be ready when you get here.

- I'm calling the police.

I got to go now.

- I'm expecting a work call.

- OK. Bye.

That was Barbara.

I call her whenever the dog is sick.

You know how she is.

Are you still seeing her?

I always liked Barbara.

No, we just share

custody of the dog.

You sure you don't want a drink?

'Cause I need one.

Maybe I'll have a drink.

Sh*t!

You can get yourself

killed for doing this.

Nobody is gonna get killed.

Gonna get you to the airport.

Put you on the next flight out.

- I don't have enough pills.

- You don't need any pills.

- What are you talking about?

- You don't need them.

They were nothing but sugar.

- What?

- They didn't do a damn thing.

Son-of-a-b*tch!

When we start a drug trial, half the

subjects are picked at random...

to get the actual drug, the other half

are given a phoney pill: The placebo.

You were in

the control group.

That's bullshit!

No. I never lied to you and

I'm not lying to you now.

- He's headed for the lake.

- We got him.

You knew this the whole time?

It would've affected

how I treated you.

I just found out tonight, I swear.

You knew theses

things weren't real?

They were real to you,

and that's what matters.

You okay?

You gotta get outta here.

Get to the airport anyway you can.

Here's some money.

Disappear. Go.

- That was you, Doc.

- What?

You're the reason why I got better.

It wasn't any drug.

You changed yourself.

Now hurry! Go!

Go!

You gotta go.

- What do you think of it so far?

- It's okay.

Let's have a look outside.

Beautiful!

- Wayne, this is Michael.

- How you doing, Wayne?

- Good.

- You wanna meet the other guys?

Come on.

All right, Rhonda,

time to play a real master.

I want you to meet Wayne!
