How did the Roman Catholic Church manage
to keep this a secret for 2,000 years?
Apparently, a decision was made...
to characterize pure evil
as a spiritual force,
even within the darkness
in the hearts of men.
It was more convenient.
In that way, man remained
at the center of things.
A stupid lie.
We were salesmen, that's all.
We sold our product...
to those who didn't have it.
The new life.
Reward ourselves,
punish our enemies...
so we can live without truth.
A substance,
malevolence.
That was the truth.
Asleep...
until now.
Help me break this up.
The others shouldn't hear this.
Faith is a hard thing to come
by these days. Look at this.
That thing down therejust directed
a fairly sizable burst of energy.
Directed?
In a straight line... with the precision
of less than a millisecond.
Everybody's acting like we should
really be taking this seriously.
You two aren't taking
this seriously, are you?
What are we supposed to do?
Just go back to work?
a wreath of garlic?
A benediction?
A crucifix?
Then it really is Old Scratch
knocking at the door.
A few minutes ago, a vibration was triggered
in the metal on that thing downstairs.
A strong one.
Some kind of...
kinetic emission came out of it.
Now, if it can transmit
It can move other objects...
instantaneously across a distance...
Without outside intervention.
Psychokinesis.
Mind-directed energy.
Don't tell the others yet.
Why not?
They have a right to know that this...
that it... it's conscious.
Not until you prove
it wasn't something else...
a power surge or a draft of air.
All right.
You missed the big history lesson.
You're not gonna believe
what's been going on up here.
Want one?
Anyone ever tell you that
you could pass for Asian?
Whew.
What was that all about?
No sense of humor.
Have you seen Susan?
Who?
Radiologist, glasses.
Oh, yeah. She's right outside.
Where?
She was there. I think
somebody oughta tell her.
Look, am I crazy, or are we
stroking ourselves heavily here?
Thank you for taking the time
to share your thoughts.
Susan?
There's more to it.
There's some kind of power...
directed outward.
A controlled force.
What's it doing?
Reaching out.
Influencing.
Changing things.
Moving objects by thought.
Extraordinary intervention.
Intelligent cause other than man.
Susan?
Hello?
Suppose...
what your faith has said
was essentially correct.
Suppose there is a universal mind
controlling everything.
A god willing the behavior
Now, every particle
has an anti-particle.
Its mirror image.
Its negative side.
Maybe this universal mind...
resides in the mirror image
instead of in our universe...
as we wanted to believe.
Maybe he's anti-God,
bringing darkness instead of light.
Why weren't we told the truth?
Without the technology to confirm,
it would have been another legend.
But he was our prisoner, not yours!
We had a responsibility...
to warn the rest of the world.
Only the corrupt
are listened to now,
and they tell us
what we want to hear.
We believe it to be divine light.
It just got colder in here.
I know.
Suddenly, as if...
as if something...
moved through the room.
Listen, do you realize
what's going on up there?
We are on the brink
of the ultimate truth!
Oh, this priest is a real case.
He is looney tunes, and I'm
beginning to wonder about Birack too.
I'm going back.
Come on, Calder.
Come on, Frank!
You're outta your minds!
This is a joke. This is caca.
Come on!
Caca.
Hello?
Where's Wyndham?
Uh, he left.
When?
We tried to talk him out of it,
but, uh...
Has anyone seen Susan?
Who?
The radiologist. Glasses?
Well, maybe she left too.
Maybe they both had
the right idea.
This is not a dream.
Not a dream.
We are using your brain's
electrical system as a receiver.
We are unable to transmit
through conscious neuro-interference.
You are receiving
this broadcast as a dream.
We are transmitting from the year 1-9...
Walter?
What?
Have you seen Mullins?
What? No.
Susan?
Who?
Radiologist. Glasses.
Come on, man.
I was asleep.
We can't find them.
And Wyndham's left.
Couple of the others are talking about leaving.
We're gonna have a meeting in the lab in half an hour.
Mullins left?
I don't know.
I'm gonna go downstairs
and look for him.
Well, since I'm up now.
If I don't come back,
you can have my Porsche.
You are receiving this broadcast in order
to alter the events you are seeing.
Our technology has not developed
a transmitter strong enough...
to reach your conscious
and your awareness.
What were you dreaming?
Your kingdom, Father, does
not include my unconscious.
It's mine, and I may abuse it
any way I wish...
without having to confess
what's in it.
Something I haven't
told you.
The Brotherhood of Sleep...
Anyone in close proximity...
has the same dream.
The one you had
just now.
Um...
Excuse me, but I...
the dream for years.
What does it mean?
A premonition.
The dream evolves,
unfolds.
every time we go to sleep.
As if it's pushing
everything else out.
Making room for itself.
Mullins?
Do you think he really
just took off?
I mean, like he was actually
believing this whole business?
Why is everybody
looking at me that way?
'Cause you're being a**hole-ish. That's
very a**hole-ish of you to say so.
Look, Mullins is probably
off asleep someplace.
Or he's boffing
the radiologist.
I hope he's getting laid. I hope they're both
on their way to a nice Chinese restaurant.
How can you keep
working like this?
It's... 3:
30.No wonder I'm so tired.
in the computer,
but they're not
making any sense.
about 15 minutes ago.
No, I mean these equations
are beyond me now.
They're like another language. Mmm.
Go get some sleep.
I'll wake you in half an hour.
Oh, 45 minutes?
Okay.
Hey, are you okay?
No.
I know what you mean.
I just want to go home, pretend
none of this is really happening.
What's that?
Hmm?
Oh, it's just a bruise
I got somehow.
Finally stopped hurting.
This looks like a figure
of some kind.
No, I got to close my eyes. Okay.
I'll wake you.
Thanks.
Hello.
I'm opening the door, if you want to stop
what you're doing and put your clothes on.
Big doings in the lab tonight.
There's a meeting.
Oh, give me just 15 minutes.
You want me to come back?
Later.
Any luck?
Can't find anybody.
I'm going up to the lab.
I'll be there in a minute.
We're having a meeting
in the lab.
Lisa.!
Mona Lisa!
Lisa?
have to be encased in concrete.
No way. A building this size? I
say we launch the f***er into space.
I'm hearing something.
Where are the others?
We think they've left.
Kelly's asleep. I didn't
want to wake her up.
I'm asking you to stay.
