RICK:Stop.
Take off the bag and face the window.
(♪♪♪)
RICK: Congratulations.
You have been accepted to take part in The Sleep Experiment.
This experiment is being conducted for research purposes.
If you comply with the following requirements all charges
currently held against you will be dropped and you will be
automatically released from your prison sentence.
[♪♪♪]
RICK: You must stay awake for the next 30 days.
You must complete all physical activities.
You must obey any orders given to you without delay.
Strictly no physical contact between each other.
Failure to cooperate will result in you returning to prison immediately.
30 days of food and supply are included.
We have given each of you a diary, so that we can monitor
your thoughts and feelings.
We will be testing an experimental gas that will be
administered to you to prevent you from falling asleep.
[♪♪♪]
RICK: It is now four minutes past midnight, May 16th, 1961.
The experiment will begin now.
[♪♪♪]
INVESTIGATION DAVID: Is this the property of Christopher Sampson?
CHRISTOPHER: Yes.
I'm Christopher Sampson.
DAVID: I'm Inspector David Mac Lowe.
Do you mind if I come in for a chat?
[door closes]
We tried to call, but there was no response.
CHRISTOPHER: Sorry about that.
I was out of town recently.
[foot falling]
Going somewhere?
No. No.
Just clearing out some old stuff.
Shall we?
Christopher, I believe you used to work for the Porton
Down Chemical Defence Establishment?
CHRISTOPHER: I did, yes.
But that's a long time ago.
DAVID: You were aware of the investigation?
No, I'm not aware of any investigation.
DAVID: Really?
It's been in the papers all week.
I thought you of all people would have known.
Top secret documents on the human experiments were leaked
to the papers.
Really?
Christopher, you wouldn't mind coming down to the police station
and answering a few questions, would you?
Alright, Christopher, thanks for coming down.
I'm sure you have better things to be doing today.
My name is Inspector Robert Scott.
We wanna ask you a few questions about one experiment
in particular that you worked on.
The Sleep Experiment.
ROBERT: We're trying to understand why it went so horribly wrong.
We have the original recordings of the experiments.
And what we're gonna do, is we're gonna break it down
into small sections.
We're gonna ask you a few questions and we'd like you to answer them honestly.
We'll start with Day 1.
(♪♪♪)
Look at the state of this place.
It's not much, but it will do.
I thought we'd have things to do, you know,
to keep us occupied?
Are we meant to just read books for the next 30 days?
Just think yourself lucky you're in here and not in prison.
SEAN: I suppose you're right.
And there are a lot of books, and a deck of cards.
I mean, we're bound to be kept occupied.
EDWARD: Anybody hungry?
SEAN: Yeah, I'm starving.
Throw us a piece of bread here, will you?
EDWARD: Excuse me. You in the corner?
Are you hungry?
ERIC: No. I'm fine, thanks.
Oh, go on, you must be starving.
Have something.
Okay.
Thanks.
You okay?
What's your name?
It's Eric.
How does a guy like you end up in here?
Like, how do you end up in prison?
You don't seem like the type.
Forget to bring your book back to the library in time or something?
Murder.
SEAN: Murder? [chuckles]
You?
What?
How? Who'd you kill?
Come on, tell us.
He doesn't have to say if he doesn't want to.
Nah, he does.
No, he doesn't. It's none of your business.
No, no, no. I think it is.
If I'm gonna spend the next 30 days with him, in here.
And he's murdered someone.
I wanna know his intentions if I kill him.
LUKE: Why are you in here?
Robbery.
And you?
I didn't pay my taxes.
[♪♪♪]
Can you tell me why those particular men were chosen for the experiment?
Oh well, it's been so long. I--
DAVID: As a psychologist, your job is to psycho-analyze the subjects,
is it not?
Yes.
But as you know, our main priority was to ensure the
experiment was completed.
I simply recommended the men I felt had the best chance of doing that.
On what basis?
Their desire to leave prison.
They all had very long sentences and obviously
any man would do anything for his freedom.
But surely there are more factors when choosing
someone besides their desire to leave?
You know something like um, their background, mental state,
if they're a serial killer or not.
[♪♪♪]
Right, so
girlfriend's pissed off at me.
So I said to meself, I'm getting the fuck out of here.
So, jumped on a boat, headed out to England and here I am.
Blimey, what did you do?
SEAN: Anything. Anything I could get me a hands on.
Took any job that anywhere I could, Eventually,
got a job in the docks in Liverpool.
Did your father beat you?
SEAN: What?
LUKE: Did your father beat you?
What are you talking about?
LUKE: Did he?
Seriously.
What way of a thing is that to say?
Huh. Look at the way you're holding yourself.
Like, do you know what you look like to me, you're like a terrier.
You're quick tempered and you're rude.
You're putting on this tough-guy act and this
deep voice you're trying to talk, it is really quite amusing.
Jesus. Shut the fuck up, will ya?
There's some pain inside that you're channeling into this anger.
What-- what-- what is it?
My father never beat me. I never had a dad.
LUKE: So that's what's wrong?
No.
-But there is something. -You wanna shut the fuck up, mate.
I just don't like seeing people ungrateful, is all.
-SEAN: Ungrateful? -Yes, ungrateful?
Ungrateful that grew up a man with no da.
Ungrateful that me ma had to walk every single day of the
week to put food on the table.
Ungrateful that I couldn't afford to stay in school?
Ungrateful, that me life is a fucking mess?
Yeah, I'm fucking ungrateful.
Growing up, my mother was paralyzed from the neck down.
Seeing how helpless she was made me appreciate everything that I had.
Didn't really have a home.
One day, I'd stay with my aunt's, another my uncle's.
One day I asked, uh.
[♪♪♪]
"Mummy, all my friends' mummy's meet
them after school.
And they all get hugs from their mummy's.
Can you hug me?
" She didn't say anything, but a tear rolled down her face.
It was the first time I saw her crying.
Since then, I've always appreciated everything that I have.
If you have two working legs, two arms, two eyes, two ears.
You have nothing to whine about. So stop complaining.
[♪♪♪]
Why would Luke look for sympathy from Sean?
I thought psychos can't feel sympathy.
No, they can't.
But they can feel lonely.
Psychopaths are extremely isolated.
They find it very difficult to relate to anyone.
Out of curiosity, what are the traits of a psychopath?
[♪♪♪]
Well, some of the traits would be
dishonesty, lack of guilt,
manipulativeness.
Reckless risk-taking.
He or she will con and manipulate those around them
using charisma and intimidation.
And they can effectively mimic feelings that present
as normal to society.
For pleasure, they torture and murder animals and humans.
It makes them feel something inside
that empty soul of theirs.
So how do you know when you're speaking to one?
You don't.
RICK:You will begin the physical exercises now.
We will do them in order of Sean, Luke,
Eric, Edward, and Patrick.
You have 60 seconds to perform as many push-ups as you can.
So team, please step forward to begin the physical exercises.
Please get into the ready position.
The timer will begin in 5, 4,
3, 2, 1,
begin.
EDWARD (VO): I felt sorry for Eric the most.
He was like a fish out of water.
How did an innocent kid end up in a place like this?
Well, I suppose I never thought I'd end up here either.
I like Eric though, he's a nice guy.
Sean, on the other hand, seems a bit obnoxious.
Patrick is a good guy, and I can see me and him getting on over
the next few days.
I don't really know what to think of Luke.
He's a bit odd.
But it's still a bit too early to form an opinion on someone.
The way I look at it, it's 30 days until I see my family again.
This experiment is a blessing for my girl.
And I'm not gonna take it for granted.
I know my little girl Isabelle is out there watching me.
[♪♪♪]
What was the purpose of creating this gas?
CHRISTOPHER: It was for the military, David.
If a soldier doesn't need to sleep, they have a distinct
advantage over the enemy.
So why were the diaries added?
Diaries? Could you elaborate?
When we read the proposal for the experiment,
the proposal that got funding, there was no diaries.
It was solely testing the physical side effects of sleep deprivation.
So why were the diaries added?
Well, it's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
You see Robert, the mind controls the body.
And as a psychologist, I took the opportunity of further
studying the human mind in a controlled environment.
And what attracted you to work there?
What do you mean?
What made you wanna work in a place that treated people
like human guinea pigs?
You could say that I was brainwashed into thinking
that what I was doing was for greater good of the British Empire.
The things we did, as horrible as they were,
brought about a lot of good to the world.
It's just unfortunate about the bad.
Interesting.
Because you were the one who designed the experiment.
Now that's not true!
I only worked as a psychologist during my time at Porton Down.
But not in this experiment.
We know you were the one who designed the experiment and gave
Roger Morgan the plans to conduct.
DAVID: Along with Roger, all the other people who worked on that
experiment said that you designed it.
CHRISTOPHER: Luck.
I was young.
Trying to impress my superiors.
And I was afraid that we would not get funding due to my
inexperience.
So why does an inexperienced psychologist
design an experiment testing the physical side effects of sleep
deprivation for the military?
And then deny it.
DAVID: Christopher, I don't think you're telling us the truth.
[♪♪♪]
Whose up for a game of cards?
Yeah, I'm in.
-EDWARD: Patrick? -Oh ah, no thanks.
Not really into it. I'll just uh, observe.
Luke?
What's in it for me?
It's just a game of cards.
LUKE: No, no, no. You got to uh, spice it up a bit.
You know, uh,
how about the winner
gets to piss in a cup
and all the losers have to take a sip from it.
-No. -Fuck off.
LUKE: Well, how the game be intense?
-But can't we just have an ordinary game of cards? -You're sick in the head.
Anyway, why are you doing this?
SEAN: Ah, you know yourself.
I just wanna get out.
[indistinct speech] You know.
Nah, I think there's something else.
Need to get back home.
LUKE: Why?
Just because.
Want to see your family?
SEAN: Sort of.
[♪♪♪]
What, your mother? Your girlfriend?
You know, I used to do a bit of drama when I was in
school as a young lad.
I always wanted to be an actor, but couldn't uh,
me mum came along.
One day,
seeing her after the play and I said to her,
"Why are you crying, Ma? " She was crying.
She said to me she was so proud.
One line I had, one line.
I got a bit older.
I started acting like shit, you know hanging around with a few
dodgy heads.
Stopped coming home on time.
I'd stay out on the weekends and stuff.
Me mum, when I come home you know,
she'd be waiting up for me.
I'd be like, "Ma, what are you doing staying up?
" She would sit and talk to me.
Sean-- [indistinct speech] .
And I'd just be like, "Fuck off Ma, go to bed.
I can't be talking.
" [indistinct speech] And up she goes.
Can't get to sleep until I get home.
Moved off to England.
Didn't tell her, I just disappeared.
I had been away from home for don't know how long.
I know she'd stop me. I know she'd try to get me home.
Anyway, I roll home and a week later, a good week later,
I got a letter from me aunty.
Saying,
"your mother's dead".
One fucking person in this world
that loved me, that believed in me.
She died without knowing where I was, what happened to me.
Fucking broke her heart.
Is it a coincidence of all the men chosen
suffered from significant trauma in their past?
I shouldn't be here.
I'm innocent.
CHRISTOPHER: If you look at the lives of most criminals,
you'll see they all experience something traumatic.
Did not matter what they had done in the past.
We just wanted them to complete the experiment, and that's why
they were chosen.
About three years ago,
my daughter never came home one night after being out.
CHRISTOPHER: If you wish to understand Robert, how we could
do all of those horrible things, then you must realize that we
were doing our job.
ROBERT: Your job was running unethical experiments on
naive, vulnerable men--
Those men volunteered by choice.
They would have rotted away in jail if we didn't give them a
second chance to redeem themselves.
She was 14.
She always came home.
This night she didn't.
See, I-- I'm not sure those men were fully aware of
what they were signing themselves up for.
-Christopher, you personally- -DAVID: My time--
Designed an experiment that resulted in the
deaths of nine people.
What are you writing?
It's just you've been writing for some time now.
One of the tapes, uh tape number 24 was missing.
I just have a lot on my mind.
DAVID: For certain procedures and protocols,
that are put in place to protect the subjects.
Not only did you break them,
you completely ignored them.
What are you in here for Eric?
They were either in for murder or attempted murder.
Even a child could see, they're putting all those men in the
same room for 30 days without sleep is a recipe for disaster.
Are you still not gonna tell us?
Eric strangled a man to death for God's sake!
Eric wasn't some kind of cold-hearted killer.
He had been bullied his whole life.
Poor Eric.
He ended up living a miserable life.
Now, I'm not just defying that what he did was right.
But the poor man was a ticking time bomb.
Like us all.
There's only so much one can take.
[♪♪♪]
[Patrick coughing]
You stop breathing please?
Just not-- not so loud, please. Just stop breathing loud.
Nobody's breathing loudly.
I don't know-- I don't why it's annoying me.
It's just-- just please stop.
Do you want us to kill ourselves?
What? No.
He wants us to stop breathing, right?
[coughing in background]
ERIC: Can you stop eating too please, loudly?
Just I'm sorry, please stop.
I'll eat and breathe if I want to, mate.
Just-- just not loud. Just not loud, please.
Just stop!
Can you stop? [Patrick coughing]
ERIC: It's hurting my head. Stop coughing so loud.
It's hurting my head.
He's fucking dying!
-ERIC: Stop that! -[Patrick coughing]
EDWARD: Patrick, you okay? Patrick?
What's wrong?
We need help with him!
RICK:We are opening the doors to the room.
Step away from the door and stand with your back against
the opposite wall.
[♪♪♪]
[Patrick breathing heavily]
[♪♪♪]
RICK:Everyone, stop what you're doing. The door will be opened.
Stand up and stand at the opposite wall to the door.
EDWARD: Hey.
What happened to you?
Ah, um, they said that my system reacted badly to the gas.
Something to do with that.
So, I've bad asthma.
LUKE: Asthma?
Yeah, asthma.
What type of asthma?
[chuckles]
Umm, I don't know.
I just know that I have asthma.
LUKE: You're not allergic to anything?
No.
There's six different types of asthma.
Right, well, I've always just been told since I
was a child that I have asthma.
You were away for a while.
PATRICK: I know.
What happened?
Ahh, doctors injected me with something.
Um, they ran a few tests on my body.
I really don't know, to be honest.
EDWARD: Did they keep you awake?
Oh yeah. Yeah, of course.
So why are you here?
Sorry?
LUKE: You said it yourself the gas was reacting
badly with your system.
So why did they put you back in here?
Oh, they've said that they've lowered the amount of
gas entering the room.
LUKE: That doesn't make sense.
You should've either had an asthma attack when you first
entered or should be having one right now.
How do you know so much?
LUKE: I just do.
Maybe you should work for them.
So it was your decision to ultimately break protocol?
Myself and the others just tried to get the best possible result.
You were the one who designed it.
Correct? So therefore, you are the one at fault.
Everyone that worked on all the experiments was at fault.
ROBERT: No.
You're the one who designed the experiment.
-You're the one who added the diaries without any permission. -Wrong.
You're the one who chose unstable murderers without any
-permission. -I know that.
But everything I did was with good intentions.
I promise you.
I just wanted to get the best results possible to make sure
the experiment was a success.
-Because of your good intentions, nine people died. -DAVID: Robert? Robert?!
-Of course, I know that! -Robert!
How do you think that makes me feel?
You think I wanted this to happen?
You think I wanted those men to die?
I was just doing my fucking job!
You realize what you did is a criminal offence.
-And you're gonna go to prison for a long, long time. -Robert, stand down!
Get your fucking hands off of me!
I left Porton Down 15 years ago, because I could not live with
myself after what had happened.
And now I'm facing jail time.
Even though I've been minding my own business doing my own
fucking thing for the last 15 years.
Tell me Robert,
why is this case so important to you?
What do you mean?
Oh, it's clear.
You have a very strong emotional connection to the case.
Emotional connection?
Yes. It's in the way you speak.
How you ask questions and how you react to my answers.
You ask questions hoping that I'm guilty, don't you?
Now why is that though?
Did you know someone that took part in the experiment?
No?
Oh yes. That's it, isn't it?
Now who was it, I wonder?
You would have been too young.
So it can't have been a friend.
It would have been someone much closer.
It was a parent, wasn't it?
Yes.
It was your father.
You grew up with pure hatred for Porton Down and all of the
people that worked there.
And now finally, you get to have--
Instead of making up stories about my partner,
just answer the questions.
Making up stories?
Why don't we ask Robert?
Burn marks all over his face and body.
What?
Fucking what?
The kids at school used to laugh at him, because of how he
looked. They said he looked like a monster.
-DAVID: Robert? -All because-- shut the fuck up!
-All because he volunteered-- -[indistinct speech]
He looked like a monster!
DAVID: ... fuck out of here.
What the fuck was that in there?
No wonder you were so keen to get involved
in this investigation.
Why didn't you tell me about your father?
I didn't think it mattered.
Fucking idget.
You should never have been involved in this investigation.
This reflects poorly on me, for fuck's sake.
I'm trying to do the right thing.
DAVID: You were manhandling him in there.
Do you have any idea who his connections are?
Fuck his connections.
DAVID: You need to look at this with a non-biased approach.
I am.
He was just doing his job.
Designing experiments was not part of his job.
If it might break a procedure.
But David, I'm not gonna argue with you.
Let's go in, finish this fucking interview.
So, where were we?
[♪♪♪]
LUKE: Here, Sean.
You'll do anything for your mother, right?
Huh?
LUKE: I'm serious. Imagine if your mother was still alive.
SEAN: You're serious, yeah?
Listen.
What lengths would you go to to protect your mother?
To-- to-- to make sure that she felt loved.
Would you, uh...
Why you asking me?
We have this thing in common and it seems that we're
doing this experiment for our mothers.
And?
I've killed people.
Oh, so the taxes thing was bullshit?
Yes.
-Why'd you lie? -That's no important.
Look I-- what I'm trying to say is,
if you have a right reason
to kill someone, is that justifiable?
No.
I don't know. I think some people have it coming.
Who'd you kill?
Anyone that mistreated or disrespected my mother.
Man, woman, child.
You're sick in the fucking head.
Really?
Yes.
You would actually murder a child?
If I had a reason to, yes.
What exactly does a child have to do for you to
justify killing them?
Why are you even in here?
You're seriously don't have a response to that here?
Calm down.
And listen to what I have to say.
And then, you'll understand why I did it.
So I'm sat at home with my mother.
Just the two of us, minding our own business.
When I hear this noise.
Bang, bang, bang.
I look outside and I see a small group running away.
They threw stones at the house.
My old disabled mother's house.
Luckily, I saw one of the group.
Little girl with a bright yellow school bag.
For a week,
I waited outside every school in the area
to try to find that bag again.
Until eventually I did.
I saw her.
And I followed her home.
I saw she hung out with her friends and when she was alone,
and then I kidnapped her.
I kidnapped her.
And I tied her to a post.
And I threw stones.
At her naked body.
Over and over again.
You sick fuck.
SEAN: Fucking monster.
How sick do you have to be to throw stones at an
-old disabled woman's home? -RICK: Luke and Edward, step away from each other immediately.
I repeat, step away from each other. Immediately.
-[indistinct speech] -No. Look at what she was doing.
Her and all her friends. She had it coming.
-RICK: Stand with both hands on the wall, now. -You bastard.
RICK:I repeat,
stand with both hands firmly on the wall. Now!
[♪♪♪]
[choking]
[indistinct whispers]
Excuse me?
It's me.
[♪♪♪]
I'm sorry, they're-- they're gone.
It's okay.
[♪♪♪]
[laughing noises]
[crying]
Please. Please, let me out.
There's too many people here.
Please.
There's nothing to do.
Supposed to be five of us.
I think I want to stop.
Please let me out!
Let me out!
Please!
Let me out!
[screaming]
Let me out!
Please!
[screaming]
[coughing]
[♪♪♪]
By day 12 they all began to experience extreme
hallucinations.
[screaming]
What the fuck?
-No! -SEAN'S MOTHER: Sean, where have you gone?
No. No.
-No, please. -SEAN'S MOTHER: Why did you leave?
Please no.
SEAN'S MOTHER: Why did you have to?
Please no. Go.
-Sorry. -SEAN'S MOTHER: Please, Sean.
I'm begging you to come home, Sean.
SEAN: Why?
SEAN'S MOTHER: Sean?
Ma, please! What the fuck!
-SEAN'S MOTHER: Where are you? -[screams]
SEAN'S MOTEHR: Come back home.
You left me all alone.
SEAN: I'm sorry.
SEAN'S MOTHER: You left me all alone.
You broke my heart!
SEAN: Get me fucking out of here.
Get me out of here!
Get me fucking out of here!
It's fucking not ending.
[indistinct speech] Go fucking home!
Get the fuck, get me out of here!
You!
It's fucking animals.
[♪♪♪]
[laughs]

[child crying]

SEAN'S MOTHER: Why did you leave me, Sean?
What did I do?
Come back to me.
Please Sean.
I'm begging you to come home, Sean.
Sean?
Oh Sean.
Where are you, Sean?
Come back home.
Please come home to mummy.
I miss you so much.
No. No, I don't.
SEAN'S MOTHER: I miss you.
No, I know you're not here.
[overlapping speech]
SEAN'S MOTHER: Come on, Sean.
I love you.
I love you so, so much.
I want you to be here.
Let me hug you and love you.
Please, please.
Please ma!
Don't do that to me!
SEAN'S MOTHER: Sean.
Don't do that to me.
Don't!
SEAN'S MOTHER (VO): Sean, where are you?
Sean.
Sean?
-SEAN: No, I'm losing it. -SEAN'S MOTHER: Sean, this is your fault.
Uh-uh.
SEAN'S MOTHER: This is your fault.
I know you're not here.
SEAN'S MOTHER: You killed me, Sean.
You-- you made me do this.
[♪♪♪]
SEAN'S MOTHER: You killed me, Sean! Look at what you've done.
[screaming]
SEAN'S MOTHER: How could you do this to your own mother?
[screaming continues]
[pants]
[♪♪♪]
RICK:Everyone, please stand at the opposite wall to the door immediately
as we are opening the door to the testing room.
I repeat, please stand at the opposite wall to the door as we
are opening the door to the testing room.
[♪♪♪]
That's when we realized we had made a huge mistake.
And what was that?
We weren't watching Luke.
[♪♪♪]
[Patrick gasping]
Excuse me?
It's me.
Can you do something?
I'm sorry for the cough.
It's okay.
Please. Please let me out.
There's too many people here.
Please.
This wasn't the deal.
There's supposed to be five of us.
Please, I wanna stop.
Please let me out!
Let me out!
Please!
Let me out!
[Eric screams]
ERIC: Let me out!
Please!
Let me out!
[Eric screams]
No, let me out!
Let me out!
Please!
[screams]
[Eric coughs]
[Eric takes deep breaths]
[♪♪♪]
RESEARCHER: [indistinct speech]
Are you sure you want to go ahead with this?
-Yes. -Great.
There are just a few documents that we want you to sign.
On Day 4, 12 and 21,
we will want you to fake the asthma attacks.
How will I know what day it is?
CHRISTOPHER: You will hear a church bell play through the
speakers every 24 hours.
We'll take you out of the room on those days,
so that we can evaluate your physical and mental
deterioration.
You will then be allocated 12 hours of sleep.
And injected with a shot of noradrenaline.
As a safety precaution, we want you to stay
as close as possible to the testing room door, in case of an
emergency.
PATRICK: In the event that anything does happen,
I want a guarantee that my wife and my son will be looked after.
Patrick, I promise you everything will be okay.
[♪♪♪]
Remember, if anything goes wrong, just get as close to the
door as possible and we'll send someone in.
Yeah, I know.
Oh Patrick, take this.
What's this?
I've added these diaries for all the men in the experiment.
There's already stuff written in here?
That's just some background information on the prisoners.
Are you sure this is a good idea?
You being in the room, I'd like you to document
what you see.
In case we miss something.
Alright.
Good luck, Patrick.
[♪♪♪]
She's not there.
[girl crying]
[♪♪♪]
You're safe. I found you.
I found you.
Daddy's here.
You're safe now.
[indistinct speech] I promise.
I promise.
Don't leave me please.
You're safe.
LUKE: Little girl with a bright yellow school bag.
For a week,
I waited outside every school in the area.
I was trying to find that bag again.
Until eventually I did.
I kidnapped her.
And I tied her to a pole.
And I threw stones
at her naked body.
Over and over again.
[♪♪♪]
Bastard!
LUKE: What are you on about?
SEAN: Don't do it, Edward. Think of your family.
-Think of your family! -You killed her!
You killed her! My daughter!
-And you killed her! -If you ever want to see your wife and your child again,
you will let go of me right this instant.
You killed her!
You fucking killed her.
Edward, you are losing your mind.
Well, how could I possibly have killed your daughter?
-Liar! -That man is the liar.
Sorry, what?
Go on, Patrick.
Tell us your little secrets.
Tell us who you really are.
What's he on about?
Patrick hasn't been telling us who he really is.
Is that right?
Go on. Show us your little diary.
Oh, you don't know where it is, do you?
There it is.
What is it, Edward?
Nope, just...
-Who are you? -I can explain.
LUKE: He's one of them.
He's one of the researchers.
Listen, I took part in the experiment, like you did.
LUKE: Patrick, you're sweating.
Are you feeling alright?
You're very warm, Patrick.
You're not gonna have one of those asthma attacks, are you?
[chuckles]
EDWARD: Get away from him!
LUKE: Why? A minute ago you were angry at me for lying and it's just
turned out that he's been lying to us this whole time
about everything.
I don't give a fuck about him. It's you!
How could you even consider giving him a second chance?
I didn't know that he killed children.
This-- this is-- this is new.
It's new information. I'm--
EDWARD: He's admitted it!
He's admitted it on tape.
You got it on tape.
You got evidence on tape.
Put him back in prison.
Fuck your experiment.
Put him back in prison.
Go on, Patrick. Tell him.
Tell me what?
Everything's that's been said is strictly
confidential and used for research purposes only.
It's all there in the fine prints had you bothered
to read it before signing up for this.
You better be fucking kidding me!
I'll be sure to write you a postcard when I get outside.
EDWARD: I'm gonna kill you one day.
Go on. Hit me then.
I'd love to but I got a family out there.
[chuckles]
LUKE: This is great.
I'll tell you what, Luke.
Fuck you and fuck your disabled whore of a mother.
[♪♪♪]
What colored eyes did your daughter have?
EDWARD: Shut up.
Green eyes and black hair, wasn't it?
EDWARD: Shut up!
And what color school bag did she use?
EDWARD: Shut it now.
It was yellow, wasn't it?
EDWARD: Shut up!
LUKE: I know everything about you and you know nothing about me.
EDWARD: Shut up.
You know what your daughter said to me before I killed her?
EDWARD: Shut your mouth.
She was screaming for her daddy.
-"Daddy, daddy." -EDWARD: Shut your mouth.
And you weren't there to rescue her.
I told her I'd let her go if she did things to me.
Want to know what she did?
[chuckles]
EDWARD: Fucking nonsense!
Cunt!
I'll fucking kill you.
[chuckles]
-LUKE: You will never see your family again. -EDWARD: You bastard nuts!
-[Luke chuckles] -EDWARD: Nuts!
SEAN: Luke, you have a chance.
Edward, don't do this. Don't do this.
What he did was wrong, but please don't do it.
-No! -Edward no.
SEAN: Oh Jesus.
[Edward breathes heavily]
I'm not a killer.
I'm not a killer. I'm not a killer. Please.
I didn't do it. I didn't do it, please.
I-- I didn't do it.
Please. You didn't see anything.
You didn't see anything.
Please. Please.
You didn't see anything.
Pretend you didn't see anything.
Pretend you didn't see it.
Please.
[banging the door]
We couldn't see inside the test room,
because Edward had completely
covered the observation window with Luke's blood.
TOM: What the hell are we waiting for?
Let's get Patrick out of there.
CHRISTOPHER: Wait. -We don't have the time to wait.
What are we meant to do? Barge in there
and shoot them all dead?
If we go in, Patrick dies.
Let's not do anything irrational.
Well, unless you have a better plan, Christopher.
I suggest this is our only option.
There is no need for panic here.
We could turn it off.
The gas.
It's stopping the process of melatonin, right?
That's what's keeping them awake.
If we turn it off, they all fall asleep.
It will just be a matter of going in and taking Patrick out
when he's sleeping.
That could work.
CHRISTOPHER: And how can we be absolutely sure that they'll
fall asleep?
What if we flooded the room with Desflurane, combined
with nitrous oxide?
Sleeping gas.
[♪♪♪]
PATRICK: No.
Get out!
Get out of here!
[♪♪♪]
[men screaming]
[screaming]
No. Take me back to my mother.
Take me back please!
No, please.
Please.
No. Please.
[indistinct shouting]
[indistinct shouting on tape]
[♪♪♪]
And that's where it cuts off.
As I said before, what happened was horrific.
But we were brainwashed by the propaganda the government was
feeding us.
It was just devastating what those men went through.
But I promise, all I wanted to do, was get the best results
possible for the experiment.
[sighs] I can't tell you enough how much I regret it.
But listening back to that now,
it's tough. [sighs]
Knowing that I was a part of it, of ever having worked in that
research facility.
Oh, and Robert,
I am truly sorry about your father.
I'm just happy that you've finally found justice for him.
Gentlemen, if you need anything else,
you know where to find me.
Thank you for your time.
Robert.
David.
Thank you, gentlemen.
[♪♪♪]
[indistinct chatter in background]
So what are we gonna do about Christopher?
He's-- he's not the worst part.
I mean, he'll do the necessary punishment.
Come on.
I think we should continue on with the investigation.
Look into the researches and who knows what else will pop up.
[♪♪♪]
We were working with sea water.
Their candidates would drink nothing but salt water.
And they became
completely dehydrated.
When they were put back in the cells they would lick the floors
in the hope that some fresh water was left behind after they
were mopped.
And what were you trying to achieve?
We were
creating different dissolvents to see
if they could desalinate the salt water.
And we were unsuccessful.
What was your role in this particular experiment?
I was one of the chemical engineers.
You know, luckily, the lead researcher, Christopher, he--
well he knew I couldn't tolerate anything too graphic.
So, he made sure I saw as little as possible.
Christopher who?
I'm-- I'm not sure.
Christopher Sampson?
Oh yes. Yes, that was it.
DAVID: Are you sure it was him?
There's no record of his name in this experiment?
Really?
No, he was completely adamant about making this experiment a
reality.
In fact, he was very enthusiastic about all the
experiments he designed.
Wait.
Are you saying he designed other experiments?
JULIE-ANN: Yes.
Well, I worked with him on many.
Let's go right now.
Um, uh, we're gonna have to cut this interview short.
I'm sorry.
[♪♪♪]
DAVID: Christopher?
Christopher, are you there?
Christopher?
CHRISTOPHER:Day 24.
Edward, the remaining subject is still conscious.
He is in critical condition and it's estimated that he will die
soon due to infection.
Therefore, I am going to conduct one final interview with him.
Hello, Edward.
My name is Christopher Sampson.
I'd like to ask you a few questions regarding the
experiment if you don't mind.
Go fuck yourself.
Edward, this will be a lot easier if you cooperate.
What's gonna happen to me?
You broke the rules, Edward.
You already know.
Let me ask one question.
I'll let you see your family again one more time.
What do you want?
How did it feel to end the life of another human being.
Did you feel guilty?
No.
Did you feel guilty when you killed those two soldiers?
No.
Can you describe how you felt after killing them?
Alive.
Thank you, Edward.
That's all I need to know.
[♪♪♪]
Wait!
Did Luke kill my daughter?
Please. I deserve to know.
The human mind is amazing.
What it does to make us feel comfort.
What it does to make us justify our mistakes.
Luke never killed your daughter, Edward.
He'd been in prison a long time before she ever went missing.
It was the idea of vengeance and revenge for your daughter
that consumed you.
Always looking for answers.
Searching for the truth.
Luke caught on to this and you fell into his trap.
You allowed Luke to get into your head.
That's not true.
He knew her.
He knew details about her.
CHRISTOPHER: Did he?
Or did you just tell yourself he did?
You don't know what you're talking about.
CHRISTOPHER: Look at yourself, Edward.
You killed Luke.
You ripped the organs out of those two men's bodies with your
bare hands.
You sacrificed the only chance you ever had of seeing your
family again.
For what?
Self-gratification?
To give yourself a sense of purpose?
You'll never see your family again, because of you.
That's the difference between you and I, Edward.
I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not.
I know what I am.
What are you? A monster?
It was very apparent that I was quite
different from all those around me growing up.
I was aware of other people's actions, not matching my own.
I didn't feel as they felt.
[♪♪♪]
I felt nothing.
I couldn't understand what all the fuss about murdering and
death was.
Just made me more curious to know what it would feel like to
kill.
It started as cravings at first.
I used to torture my pet dog.
But it wasn't until I strangled him to death that I felt
something.
And it made me feel alive.
But I had to stop, because murder is frowned upon in
this civilized society of ours.
But that feeling of utter dominance
you get from a kill,
it starts to grow inside.
And soon it becomes pure compulsion.
And you have to kill again and again.
So that's why I work here.
I designed the experiments to go wrong.
Make them look like an accident.
Accidents happen all the time in a place like this.
And the government just comes along and covers them up.
But it made me wonder,
why me?
Why am I the only one like this?
Or could anyone given the right circumstances,
take the life of another human being and enjoy it?
So I designed this.
The Sleep Experiment.
Take away basic human needs and you're left with war and chaos.
So I deprived you of a basic human need.
The need to sleep.
That's why you were chosen.
That's why all of you were chosen.
You'd all shown signs of this madness
that I believe lurks deep inside us all.
Deep down, suppressed,
just waiting to be unleashed.
Out of curiosity, what are the traits of a psychopath?
CHRISTOPHER: Some of the traits would be dishonesty, lack
of guilt, manipulativeness.
They gravitate towards torturing and murdering humans
and animals.
Psychopaths want to be acknowledged for their
achievements.
How they tricked and deceived everyone around for so long.
ROBERT: So how do you know when you're speaking to one?
CHRISTOPHER: You don't.
