Scanners II: The New Order Page #4

EPH-2.

EPH-1. It was eight years ago.

- Morse.

- And Forrester.

He's the one who killed Dad.

I tried to get Walter away,

but he was addicted.

One day... he disappeared.

And the cops came after me.

I had to kill two of them.

- Someone has to stop them.

- Don't even try.

They're animals, David.

Let them destroy each other.

- They're human.

- But we're not.

Not really.

I love a girl back there.

A normal girl?

You poor boy.

It won't work.

- I have to try.

- David, I've been through it.

David.

I do, too.

Sorry, Miss Leonardo, but orders are

to keep you here until this is cleared up.

If you need anything,

we'll be glad to get it for you.

- Just one more question.

- Make it fast.

Lately you've been putting yourself

more in the public eye.

Clearly you've become an advocate

for change in our society.

What's the question?

Well, would it be fair to assume that

you're considering running for mayor?

Well, you know, Kerry, the voters are looking

for someone to keep this city under control,

so... well, if the people need me...

yes, I'll run.

- Excuse me.

- Cut.

'The forecast, cloudy skies.

We can expect up to an inch of snow...'

'... Mayor Franzone's

dismal failure to halt crime in our city.

'Acting Police Chief Forrester intends

to challenge the Mayor in the election.

'Furthermore, a news radio poll has

revealed that of 100 sampled voters,

'more than half would vote for Chief

Forrester if the election were held today.'

Oh, excuse me.

- Excuse me, sir.

- I'm gonna win this election.

- No doubt, sir.

- And you know what that means?

What, sir?

That you are going to be

the next Chief of Police.

But only if you find David Kellum.

I don't care if you have to use every man

in this department, but just bring him back,

dead or alive.

Funny you should mention him.

We just spotted him.

- Where?

- He's parked right outside City Hall.

Friday, two o'clock.

Perfect, thank you. Bye-bye.

Pardon me, ma'am, a gentleman to see you.

I told you not to disturb me.

It's about Chief Forrester.

He says it's important.

- Who are you?

- Please, just sit down and listen.

My name is David Kellum.

I know you didn't mean to appoint

Forrester as Chief of Police.

How do you know that?

Because I made you do it.

I was born with a kind of... telepathic ability.

I used it on you.

There are others like me.

Forrester has forced

some of us to work for him.

They call us scanners.

Scanners?

- Please, Mr. Kellum, don't make...

- Don't make you laugh.

I can make you laugh. I can make you cry.

I can make you do anything.

Have a cigarette.

I don't smoke.

Those are just for...

Tell me more about this.

- Forrester.

- 'It's Gelson. I found Kellum.

'He's at the Mayor's house. I can see them

through the window. They're talking.'

You know what to do.

Using scanners,

Forrester can control anyone.

Unless we stop him now.

- 'Internal Affairs.'

- This is Mayor Franzone.

I need to speak with the Assistant Director

right now. Tell him...

Oh, my God.

There he is! Fire!

Find him and call me.

Don't let anyone through.

'There's been a shooting

at the Mayor's house.

'Our news reporter is rushing to the scene.'

- We got him.

- Take good care of him.

Hey, Davie, time for a little one on one.

We're both scanners, Drak.

Why help them?

They're going to use you and throw

you away. You know it. You told me.

And what are you gonna do, Dave,

be my best friend?

We can work together, all of us!

No! Protect each other!

Put our powers to some decent use.

I like this use.

Power doesn't make you good, Dave.

It just makes you powerful.

And it makes me hungry.

I'm gonna suck you dry, pretty boy.

Hurry up! Get in!

'... a few minutes later and Police Lieutenant

Gelson took charge of the operation.

'Before the police intervened,

shots were fired inside the house.

'The Mayor was declared dead

on arrival at the hospital

'and police confirmed that she died

of a gunshot wound to the head.

'David Kellum, the man sought

for the murder of Mayor Franzone,

'is a mental patient who recently escaped

from the hospital where he is being treated.'

Smells good. What's cooking?

Soup.

- Want some?

- Yeah, sure. Why not?

That's the same place, all right.

I'm pretty sure one of those guards is

a scanner. How am I going to get past him?

Just before he died...

Dad taught me a trick.

We practiced it a few times.

If I can remember... how.

Show me.

Look into my eyes and do as I say.

Scan me.

Lightly.

No, lighter.

If you want to slip into my mind, go gently.

Keep trying.

Concentrate.

That's better.

Now, get... behind... my eyes.

And look out.

But...

- You just turned into me.

- Because you're looking through my eyes.

My eyes...

- It's Gelson.

- Let's use him.

- You see?

- Yes.

Lieutenant, is something the matter?

I'm fine. Just open the gate.

Lighten up.

Pull back.

Hi.

He doesn't even know we're there.

Relax your control.

Let him go on with his business.

Let's take over.

Look around.

Remember the code.

The scanners.

Or what's left of them.

Oh, God.

Walter.

He's alive.

Gelson, you're not supposed to be in here.

Morse.

I thought I heard something.

I've waited eight years for this.

Oh. Argh!

Let's give the doctor

a taste of his own medicine.

There's someone else.

Knock, knock.

Is that you in there, Davie?

This is fun.

It's like playing with a puppet.

Argh!

Ah! Argh!

Did you get 'em?

Look, I haven't seen anything up here.

Oh!

It's all right.

It'll wear off. Just give it time.

Go help Walter.

I'll be fine.

Go.

Sir, we have to leave. I've arranged

an interview before the reception.

Yes?

'Excuse me, sir.

There's been an emergency.'

What's the matter, got a little nosebleed?

Not bad, pretty boy.

Your name's Walter.

- Who are you?

- My name's David Kellum.

My sister's Julie. Julie Vale, remember?

Julie...

No.

She's waiting upstairs.

We came to help you.

All of you!

You're killing yourselves here!

You have to get out.

Nobody is going anywhere.

This is the big feed.

I'll finish you now.

Like I did your loving mother.

You bastard.

Bye-bye, cutie.

- No!

- Get out of my way!

Urgh!

Find them.

Argh!

This can't be.

Don't move.

Turn that camera off!

- You're not going to talk to anybody.

- What's going on here, Chief Forrester?

For security reasons,

you have to clear the area.

Have you been using

psychics called scanners?

There are no scanners. It's a myth.

- Chief Forrester...

- I'm sorry. You all have to leave.

What is your response to allegations

that you have deliberately...

that you have deliberately assassinated

criminals to gain popularity?

Nonsense. We've just captured

the Mayor's assassin inside this building.

His name is David Kellum.

But we have just learned that David Kellum

is not an escaped mental patient.

He may be a scanner.

What is your comment?

Kellum's a maniac

and there's no such thing as a scanner.

You're a liar.

Are you trying to tell us that David Kellum
