He's been this way since George brought him in.
We call it a state of catatonic stupor.
He's completely shut .
How long will it last, doc?
No way of knowing. Medication might snap him out in minutes,
or he may never come out of it.
Where did you find him, George?
I didn't find him. He found m. He came to my apartment.
Oh, why's that?
I don't know, but he tried to kill .
Why would he wanna kill you?
I don't know that either. We were good friends.
I thought he always liked me.
In his psychosi, he might have me
some transference to George.
Thought he was somebody else.
Yes, I think that's what it wa.
He always hatd his mothe.
He probably thougt he was killing he.
Probably thought I was he.
That's only natural,
considering the way you take care of him.
He was a nice guy. I hae to see him end up this wa.
You sure you're not glad to see him end up that way?
Why would you say something like that?
Because you've been lying, George.
I'm lying? About what?
About your relationshp with Ted.
You were in Vietnam toget.
You were in the same squad together.
Didn't you think we'd find out about that?
Well, I didn't think it made any difference,
except between the two of us.
Is that why you came to this hospital?
That's exactly ri.
He saved my life and I figured I owed him.
Is that why you wrote ransom notes?
I didn't write any ransom notes.
From your typewriter.
They're one of a kind, just like fingerprints.
What exactly are you trying to prove?
Why don't you tell us, George, and save us the trouble?
Why don't you ask Ted?
What you wanna know
is all wrapped up in his mind anyway.
The only trouble is, you can't get to it. It's gone.
No, it's wrapped up in your mind.
Stay away from me.
You'll never get rid of it unless you let it out.
Leave me alone.
How does it feel to be a hero?
To know deep down inside
that you sacrificed yourself for others?
They give medals for that, don't they?
For bravery, for courage above and beyond the call of duty?
Leave me alone.
What did you do to earn those medals?
Carry your buddy to safety? Tell me.
Did you make some sweep of some ***-infested hill?
( action theme playing )
No. No. No, n!
Something happened.
No!
Something happened on that sweep, George.
No, no.
Something happened that you had to keep Ted
from remembering.
Something happened up there.
What happened on that hill?
I told them. I told them.
Tell me, George. Tell me that what made you such a hero.
No, no. No, I won't.
Tell me.
I won't. I won't.
Move out, mister.
There's mortars all around here.
That's-- Why can't we dig in here?
Dig in, but keep your head down.
But you've gotta take that hill. Do you hear that?
That's a top priority. You're gonna take that hill.
Now move it out!
You can't.
They've got a thousand VC on that hill.
It's suicide.
Mister, you're going up there.
And you're gonna take that hill. Now move it.
You can't make me.
Move it.
I'll kill everyone here.
Kill?
I'll kill everyone.
I'll kill everyone here.
TED: Loomis, what are you doing?
I'll kill everyone here.
( breathing heavi)
( whispers ): Easy.
Easy. Easy.
( panting )
Easy.
We don't need that.
Easy.
Take him.
He was trying to p his secret locked.
I'm afraid he was worried about the wrong hiding place.
What about Ted, doc?
Is he gonna make it? Did George do much dama?
The medication seems to have taken him out of his catatonia.
Perhaps the bee hasn't hurt him too much.
The bee?
He knows all about the bee.
What about the be?
The bee's a rare psychological term, Steve.
Uh, it takes a lot of studying to understa.
