Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief Page #10

---

a scientologist believe?

You need to be in scientology

for seven or eight years,

And in for a couple hundred

thousand dollars,

Before you finally

learn this backstory

Of xenu

the galactic overlord.

Now, if you were told that

on day one,

How many people would join?

But if they were

upfront about it,

I'd have more respect

for them.

But it's that sort of

bait and switch

That people are told,

"oh, it's an applied philosophy

"to help you

with your communication."

Oh, yeah?

So why is tom cruise

paying 1,000 bucks

To have invisible aliens

pulled out of his body?

What happens when

your zone of influence

Is the global stage?

How much must one do

to call themselves

a scientologist?

How much so that

when their head

hits the pillow,

They can live

with themselves,

Knowing they did

all they could do?

That is our final story

this evening.

It's a story that affects

every scientologist,

For all of us

are the beneficiaries

of what he presents.

Tom cruise was the guy.

Miscavige and cruise

had been pretty buddy-buddy,

Way back

to "days of thunder."

He was on the set with him,

he went skydiving with him,

Was hangin' out with him

all the time.

And that was when

tom first met nicole.

He had really fallen for her.

They got married,

And this posed

a dilemma for the church,

Because her father

Is a well-known psychologist

in australia.

From the church's perspective,

he's the enemy.

He's a suppressive person.

How could you ignore me

like this?

Because nicole is still

In a relationship

with her father,

That makes her dangerous.

She's a potential

trouble source, pts.

And because tom

is related to her,

This all causes trouble

from the church's perspective.

You have to

break that dynamic.

Nicole-- her biggest beef

Was that tom was becoming

increasingly like dave.

She really got him

to drift away from the church,

And tom was not

really actively involved

in scientology

Between '92-ish

all the way up until 2001.

They were away

for more than a year

Shooting "eyes wide shut"

in the uk.

And cruise was not in touch

with miscavige,

And this

drove miscavige crazy.

I was assigned to, um,

get him back in.

And that was coincident with,

and-- and i was to facilitate

The breakup

with nicole kidman.

And how'd you do that?

Uh, well,

through a lot of auditing.

And every session

i ever gave to tom cruise--

And there was dozens

upon dozens of them

over a three-year period--

I had to write

detailed reports

And send them directly

to david miscavige.

I would sit there every night

with our scotch

And watch and listen

to miscavige comment

About cruise's sex life,

and what-- yeah,

How perverted he was.

Why is he gettin'

daily reports on cruise?

Miscavige really wanted

to get him back

Into being somebody

that he could use

To lure people

into scientology

and increase his own status.

And i was also involved

in the legal team

And actually

hiring investigators

to investigate nicole.

Men have to stick it in

every place they can,

But for women--

women, it is just about

Security and commitment--

Tom wanted to know exactly

who she was talking to,

And so he wanted

to tap her phone.

If you men only knew.

When i reported that day

to miscavige,

I reported it,

like, "i mean, he wants

to tap her phone."

He said,

"god damn it, get it done."

And so i arranged,

through the scientology's

consigliere,

To get

a private investigator

Who physically installed

a wiretap on her home.

And those tapes

would come in,

And i forwarded them

to dave miscavige.

The church then turned

its attention

To their adopted children,

to turn them against

their mother

And make sure

that the custody went to tom.

Tommy davis,

he was my liaison

Who had to do all the things

that are required

To please tom cruise

While he was being put through

the scientology hoops by me.

He also was

part of this whole

reeducation program,

So that they would conclude

that their mother

Was a suppressive person.

And that was successful.

It was all going

according to plan.

And of course,

miscavige would really

Pump the oxygen

into that little fire,

you know.

Miscavige was brilliant

at flaming people's fears,

And building up their egos.

So you were

being audited by marty

At the same time

he was auditing cruise?

Oh, yeah, yeah, i was--

yeah, tom cruise.

Tom would go in,

and i would go in,

and tom would go in,

And i would go in,

and so, you know...

And i had been audited

by the best auditors

on the planet.

The best auditor,

hands down,

I mean, like--

like kinda michael jordan,

Wayne gretsky,

kinda auditor is marty.

They stole him,

you know?

Tom thinks he's supposed

to be david miscavige.

By 2004, tom cruise

was the most gung-ho

scientologist in the world,

And miscavige wanted

to recognize him for it.

He called it

the freedom medal of valor

And they put together

this 35-minute video.

Ias freedom medal

of valor winner, tom cruise!

In it, they just

pump up this idea

That tom cruise

is the ambassador

of scientology to the world.

He's known as

the biggest movie star ever.

Tom cruise

travels this world,

Meeting with ministers,

ambassadors,

And the american

state department,

Advancing lrh technology

straight into the corridors

of power.

It's about

improving conditions.

It allows you to find out

for yourself.

There's things

that we can do to help.

They even did

a calculation,

Where they figured

between his films

And all the "opinion leaders"

that he had met

And all the travel

he had done...

Tom cruise has introduced

lrh technology

To over one billion people

of earth.

No question,

he has been a huge asset

to them.

Which is why the story

of tom cruise,

Scientologist,

has only just begun.

I think it's a privilege

to call yourself

a scientologist,

And it's something

that you have to earn.

Scientology loves to use

this word "end phenomena."

Every level

has an end phenomena,

You know, that you attain,

And tom cruise shows that.

That video

with him in the black

turtleneck sweater?

A scientologist is someone

who can look at the world

And really see what it is.

Not only

look at it and see it,

but be able to go,

Poof, and be effective,

and do something about it.

And he's as arrogant

and as untouchable

As could possibly be.

At the same time,

he looks like an utter

crazy paranoiac.

And, uh...

I know-- you know, she...

They, said, "so, like

have you met an sp?"

And i looked at her,

And i thought, "oh,

what a beautiful thing,"

Because maybe one day,

it'll be like that.

You know what i'm saying?

Maybe one day,

It will be that--

"wow. Sp's?"

Like, they'll just

read about those

In the history books,

you know?

That's where it takes you.

That's the end phenomena

of the scientology bridge.

All scientologists

are full of sh*t.

You know, they lie.

"aw, i'm doing great!

"you gotta get on seven."
