The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant

1

Mrs. Pierce?

Mrs. Pierce, are you there?

Please answer.

Please don't.

- Please.

- Mrs. Pierce?

You don't want to end up

with your mommy and daddy, do you?

Relax.

Let go!

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Relax.

Oh, God.

Please, please, please let me go!

Get back, coppers.

- Take it easy.

- I mean it.

One more step and she's gonna end

on the floor with the rest of them.

- You don't mean that.

- Easy, now.

You don't want to hurt that girl.

Let's talk about this.

Come on. Put the knife down.

Manuel Cass, you have been found

to have been legally insane

at the time of your crimes.

Therefore, I commit you to be confined

to a state mental hospital

until your sanity has been restored.

- Oh, Ken.

- Hi, sweetheart. How are you?

I'm so glad you're here.

What's wrong? What's all this?

Come on in. We'll talk about it.

Are you okay?

They haven't come out of that

laboratory for the last three days.

They won't answer when I knock.

Ken, I don't know what I'm gonna do.

Linda, you've been married six months now,

and you sound like a woman

who's been married for ten years.

It's those experiments of his.

They just mean more to him than I do.

Come on, now. You know that isn't true.

Now, Roger had one heck

of a jolt after that breakdown, honey.

Yes, I know. That was cruel,

the way the hospital

wouldn't let him return to the staff.

Ken, he's driving himself

right into another breakdown,

and I don't want to be around

when it happens.

I'll go in and talk to him, all right?

I can do something.

Roger, it's me... Ken.

- Ken?

- Yeah.

Hey, Doctor. How are ya?

How ya doin'?

This is really quite a setup.

Thanks.

Hey, Rog, you know

you got Linda all shook up?

That's why she called me out here

if you wanna know why I'm here.

Why don't you go out and talk to her,

let her know you're alive?

- I can't.

- Why not?

Come here.

- What do you think?

- It's remarkable.

How long's it been since you operated?

Three days. And I haven't

been able to leave his side.

Let me show you something.

Come here.

See this snake here?

This was our first successful experiment.

It's amazing. What's your next step?

Is to take the live head of an animal

and replace it completely

with the other live animal's head.

And after that?

Then humans.

When I am successful with this operation...

then I'll be able to do it.

Well, Roger, what happens to the person

whose head you've removed?

You can't keep the body alive, can you?

No.

But supposing somebody has

irreparable brain damage,

can't ever be cured, is absolutely incurable,

can't ever lead a normal life again.

Rog, they're a human being.

You don't think that he'd be better off?

Say you perfect the operation.

Who's going to judge

who should live and who should die?

The future generation.

Then we could have a society

that takes a man's life

on the pretext of humanity.

Roger, the white blood count

is the same as yesterday.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Kenny, this is Dr. Cooper.

Doctor, how are you?

How do you do?

If you'll excuse me,

I have more tests to run.

I'll take that, Roger. Thank you.

I don't want to get into a discussion

of ethics about all of this,

but you have another problem.

- What's that?

- Linda.

- What about her?

- I think she's gonna leave you.

Now, what makes you think that?

Why don't you come out and talk to her?

I'll tell ya what. I got one more test here.

It'll take about four minutes to run it.

Good. Then I can tell her you're coming out.

Wait a second.

Do me a favor.

Look, anything that you've seen here

or anything that we've talked about

is just between you and I, okay?

Of course.

Roger, can you trust him?

Max, look, you've got to relax now.

That is the primary thing...

you've got to relax.

The man is my best friend.

I went to college with him.

He was my closest colleague at the hospital.

There's no problem with him.

Pull!

Come on! Giddyup! Pull.

Come on. Come on!

Come on. Pull.

Come on! Come on! Giddyup!

Come on, you horses. Giddyup!

Pull hard. Come on!

Get that old tree.

Well, Dan, I guess the old boys

just can't do it anymore.

Let me help, Daddy.

Please?

Please? Please, Daddy?

Go back there and see what you can do. Go on.

Giddyup! Come on! Come on!

Giddyup! Come on, pull, you critter!

Pull! Pull!

Come on!

Giddyup.

Come on! Come on!

Giddyup! Giddyup!

It's coming!

I knew I could do it, Daddy.

You sure did.

I did it, Daddy.

I've got to really get back.

I'll see you.

Danny? What are you doing

at this time of night?

- And with that ax?

- Give me the ax. Come on.

Give it to me.

That's right.

Does your father know you're here?

Now, this is an ax...

and it is used to chop wood, correct?

Correct?

And nothing else.

Okay, now, you go on home.

Yes, Mr. Roger.

- I'm sorry about that.

- It's okay.

Ken, I'm sorry.

He only has the mentality

of about an eight-year-old.

Really?

He was trapped in a mine cave-in

when he was young

not very far from here.

When they finally reached him,

he'd suffered irreparable

brain damage from lack of oxygen.

He still holds a morbid

fascination for that cave.

It's a good thing he's got you

to take care of him.

Danny's just like family to us.

Well, I've got to get back,

and I want to thank you.

- Don't be a stranger.

- I won't, I promise you.

Next time I'll come back...

it'll be about a month...

- I'll come back and stay with you.

- Please do.

And you, take care of her, will ya?

- I mean it.

- I will.

I'll be curious to know

about your little pets, too,

see their progress.

Good-bye.

Yeah. Feeling good now, aren't you?

Got some rest?

Feel a little chipper today.

Thirty days already, and you're

still doing real fine, aren't ya?

You've done an amazing job, Roger.

I think maybe we're ready

for the next step, wouldn't you say so?

What?

If you're ever to be

recognized for your abilities,

you have to be prepared to take chances.

Ten years ago, these hands

were skilled and confident

as yours are now.

Only you can give me back those hands...

and the body needed to go with them.

Miss Linda.

- Let me help, Miss Linda.

- Sure, Danny. Come on.

Danny, you get back to chopping that wood.

I can do it later.

Never you mind. You get back to your chores.

You'd better go now.

You can help me after you've finished.

Okay, if you say so.

Go on.

I feel so sorry for him.

Isn't there anything that can be done?

Well, maybe after my next experiment.

Roger, could we go away someplace?

Just the two of us?

We could go to that lodge

where we spent our honeymoon.

Really, the change would do us both good.

It sounds like it would be very nice.

The only problem is, what about my work?

What do you want me to do about my work?

Come quickly! The monkey!

We lost him.

I wonder what could have happened.

It could have been heart failure.

We better start the autopsy right now.

All right.

Max, come here and look at this.

See that right there?

But it looks like the coronary artery...
