00:00:44 the one you take to bed with you.
00:00:46 Max, it's that time again:
00:00:50 Time to slowly, painfully
00:00:56 No, I'm not a dream...
00:00:58 although I've been told
00:01:00 Who told you that?
00:01:02 I'm nothing less than
00:01:06 here with your wake-up call of today,
00:01:11 You got that?
00:01:13 Wednesday the 23rd.
00:01:17 And I have a message.
00:01:19 Remember your meeting this morning at 6:30...
00:01:22 with Shinji Kuraki of Hiroshima Video.
00:01:25 This meeting is to take place...
00:01:27 at the Classic Hotel, suite 17.
00:01:31 And needless to say,
00:01:35 Don't you know anyone
00:01:39 Over and out, Commander.
00:01:43 Civic TV,
00:03:04 - Cindy, open the door, will ya?
00:03:08 Come on. You know I love ya.
00:03:10 - Get outta here!
00:03:12 For fuck's sake, open the door!
00:03:14 I want you out of this place!
00:03:19 For fuck's sake, open the door!
00:03:25 You just gotta open
00:03:28 Well, I looked over the stills.
00:03:31 I am interested a little bit.
00:03:33 - How many shows you got?
00:03:35 With a possibility of another six
00:03:38 - You got cassettes?
00:03:49 No, hold it.
00:03:52 Number 13.
00:03:54 But you won't understand anything.
00:03:58 My audience ain't gonna see
00:05:03 What do you think?
00:05:06 Can we get away with it?
00:05:10 I think Oriental sex is a natural.
00:05:13 I think it'll get us an audience
00:05:17 I don't like it.
00:05:20 - Not tacky enough for what?
00:05:24 Too much class. Bad for sex.
00:05:28 Maybe.
00:05:30 I don't know.
00:05:32 It's soft.
00:05:34 Something too...
00:05:37 soft about it.
00:05:41 I'm lookin' for something that'll
00:05:45 tough.
00:06:34 Hey, Harlan, uh - Huh?
00:06:37 Oh. Okay.
00:06:39 Here we go.
00:06:44 Now, it'll come through on that.
00:06:47 Now, we only got about 53 seconds,
00:06:51 They've got an unscrambler scrambler,
00:06:56 It sensed that we were unscrambling...
00:06:58 and, uh, automatically
00:07:02 What satellite is it coming from?
00:07:04 - Snooker, I think.
00:07:06 Uh, let me see. Uh -
00:07:08 Assuming 53 seconds
00:07:12 I'd say somewhere, uh...
00:07:15 in Malaysia?
00:07:18 Okay, here we go.
00:07:22 This is it.
00:07:37 What is that wall behind her?
00:07:41 Yeah. Wet clay.
00:07:44 I think it's electrified.
00:08:11 That's it?
00:08:13 That's it.
00:08:15 Grotesque, as promised.
00:08:19 Okay. Can you hang a search on it
00:08:21 Already workin' on it.
00:08:23 I was pretty insulted when it just
00:08:27 Well, patrón, interested?
00:08:32 Yeah. Harlan, can you do something
00:08:35 I mean, uh, this is supposed to be
00:08:40 Sí, patrón.
00:08:51 You always find yourself
00:08:54 even if you've been doing it
00:08:57 Oh, yeah. Oh, for sure.
00:08:59 - Course, that's part of the excitement of it.
00:09:04 Want a smoke?
00:09:08 No, thanks.
00:09:14 - Max, just relax.
00:09:17 And now here it is: The Rena King Show.
00:09:21 And this afternoon,
00:09:23 controversial president of Channel 83,
00:09:28 and media prophet
00:09:31 Take it away, Rena.
00:09:33 Max Renn...
00:09:36 your television station
00:09:38 everything
00:09:40 to hard-core violence.
00:09:42 - Why?
00:09:45 We're, uh, small.
00:09:47 In order to survive, we have to give people
00:09:51 and, uh - and we do that.
00:09:54 But don't you feel
00:09:57 to a social climate of violence
00:10:01 - And do you care?
00:10:04 I care enough, in fact,
00:10:07 a harmless outlet for their fantasies
00:10:11 As far as I'm concerned,
00:10:14 What about it, Nicki?
00:10:18 Well, I think we live
00:10:21 We crave stimulation
00:10:23 We gorge ourselves on it.
00:10:25 We always want more, whether
00:10:30 and I think that's bad.
00:10:32 Then why did you wear that dress?
00:10:35 - Sorry?
00:10:38 It's very stimulating, and-and it's red.
00:10:44 You know what Freud would
00:10:47 And he would've been right.
00:10:50 I live in a highly excited
00:10:54 Listen, I'd really like to take you
00:10:58 - Professor O'Blivion.
00:11:00 Do you think erotic TV shows
00:11:04 lead to desensitization...
00:11:06 to dehumanization?
00:11:10 The television screen has become
00:11:15 Yes.
00:11:18 That's why I refuse
00:11:21 except on television.
00:11:24 Of course, O'Blivion is not
00:11:26 That's my television name.
00:11:29 Soon all of us
00:11:33 names designed to cause
00:11:37 - Yes.
00:11:40 Nicki, is Max Renn
00:11:44 I'm not sure.
00:11:47 He's certainly a menace to me.
00:11:55 When does the plot,
00:11:57 I mean, who is this black guy?
00:12:02 There's no plot.
00:12:04 It just goes on like that for an hour.
00:12:06 - Goes on like what?
00:12:09 Torture, murder...
00:12:14 Mutilation.
00:12:16 - We never leave that room?
00:12:19 - It's a real sicko.
00:12:21 - For perverts only.
00:12:23 I mean, look, there's almost
00:12:26 You can't take your eyes off it.
00:12:29 Where do they get actors
00:12:31 - Oh, help me. I think he wants it.
00:12:34 It's worth checking out.
00:12:36 Did you have any trouble
00:12:39 Not after I realized
00:12:43 - It's not coming from Malaysia?
00:12:47 Har- Harlan,
00:12:52 Pittsburgh.
00:12:57 Pittsburgh?
00:12:59 Pittsburgh.
00:13:02 Get professional help.
00:13:05 But it's not me. It's my sister.
00:13:08 It's not your sister.
00:13:11 Can't you tell?
00:13:15 You want help.
00:13:18 You're going insane. I can hear you
00:13:24 I've got your number, haven't I?
00:13:28 I hate my sister.
00:13:33 I don't want to.
00:13:37 But I do. I do.
00:13:40 Will you call our Distress Center?
00:13:43 Will you call
00:13:46 They'll tell you where
00:13:49 And you need it.
00:13:52 I will. I will.
00:13:58 We'll return to Nicki Brand...
00:14:00 and the Emotional Rescue show
00:14:03 This is CRAM in Toronto,
00:14:09 - Got any porno?
00:14:12 Yeah.
00:14:19 What's this? "Videodrome."
00:14:21 Torture, murder.
00:14:23 Sounds great.
00:14:25 Ain't exactly sex.
00:14:29 Says who?
00:14:42 - God, I can't believe it.
00:14:45 No, no, no. It's okay.
00:14:52 Can you get it any clearer?
00:14:55 It's a pirate tape.
00:14:57 I like it.
00:15:00 - Yeah?
00:15:06 Take out your Swiss Army knife
00:15:09 just -just a little.
00:15:11 Looks like somebody's
00:15:21 I wonder how you get
00:15:24 I don't know. Nobody ever
00:15:28 What did you say happened
00:15:32 A friend.
00:15:36 - You let somebody cut you?
00:15:40 What do you think?
00:15:44 Well, l-I don't know.
00:15:47 You wanna try a few things?
00:16:26 Oh.
00:16:33 Oh.
00:18:53 Max, thank God. Masha Borowczyk
00:18:57 - Masha.
00:18:59 - Didn't you get my message?
00:19:02 - Coffee. Cigarette. Office. Masha. Go.
00:19:06 She's hot to trot.
00:19:11 I call it...
00:19:13 Apollo and Dionysus.
00:19:20 Masha, does it ever get good?
00:19:22 It's all good.
00:19:25 Darling...
00:19:28 I am looking
00:19:31 contemporary.
00:19:33 I want something that's gonna show people
00:19:38 This stuff is too - It's too naïiïve.
00:19:41 It's too sweet, like you, darling.
00:19:50 Well, it's your market.
00:19:56 Do you know a show
00:19:59 - Video-what?
00:20:02 Videodrome,
00:20:05 - You know it?
00:20:08 It's just torture and murder.
00:20:10 No plot, no characters.
00:20:14 I think it's what's next.
00:20:17 Then God help us.
00:20:19 Better on TV than on the street.
00:20:25 Arnold on line three.
00:20:27 You interested in, uh,
00:20:30 I'll see that you get
00:20:32 I'm interested.
00:20:37 Max...
00:20:40 did you ever think...
00:20:42 of producing your own show?
00:20:44 Right here?
00:20:47 I could be your agent...
00:20:49 worldwide.
00:20:51 I could sell subterranean
00:20:55 - No, I don't have the temperament.
00:21:00 what kind of show would you do?
00:21:02 I mean,
00:21:06 Would you do... Videodrome?
00:21:11 Max.
00:21:13 - Mm-hmm.
00:21:18 on assignment.
00:21:21 Guess where?
00:21:23 L.A.
00:21:26 - Pittsburgh.
00:21:29 Don't stay in the sun too long.
00:21:33 Oh, come on.
00:21:36 Yeah. Why?
00:21:40 I'm gonna audition.
00:21:44 I was made for that show.
00:21:46 Nobody on earth
00:21:51 Hey. Listen to me.
00:21:57 - Listen to me.
00:21:59 I want you to stay away from it.
00:22:01 Those mondo weirdo video guys,
00:22:03 They play rough, rougher than
00:22:07 Do you understand me?
00:22:09 Sounds like a challenge.
00:22:20 Got a cigarette?
00:22:24 It's not a challenge.
00:22:27 I swear. You know, in Brazil,
00:22:31 making underground video
00:22:35 They execute people for it.
00:22:48 Max.
00:22:59 Nicki, don't!
00:23:16 Nicki, don't.
00:23:23 Don't.
00:24:19 - Do you have a hangover?
00:24:25 Did you get in touch
00:24:28 In a way.
00:24:31 - Subterranean grapevine.
00:24:35 Max...
00:24:37 Videodrome is something
00:24:41 It is definitely not
00:24:45 Channel 83 is
00:24:49 It is still too public.
00:24:52 - Do you understand me?
00:24:56 I think it's dangerous, Max,
00:24:58 - Why? It's Mafia? They do business.
00:25:02 It's more, um -
00:25:06 More political than that.
00:25:09 - Come on, Masha. What are we talkin' about?
00:25:13 What you see on that show...
00:25:16 it's for real.
00:25:17 It's not acting.
00:25:22 I don't believe it.
00:25:26 So don't believe.
00:25:30 Why do it for real?
00:25:32 It's easier and safer to fake it.
00:25:35 Because it has something...
00:25:38 that you don't have, Max.
00:25:40 It has a philosophy...
00:25:42 - and that is what makes it dangerous.
00:25:49 There must be a name.
00:25:51 Give me a name I can talk to.
00:25:55 I stay away from the scary stuff.
00:26:02 Max...
00:26:04 you are going to have to
00:26:07 We can take a shower together,
00:26:14 I'm sure you would be
00:26:19 but, uh, you're a little older
00:26:24 Thank you...
00:26:26 so much.
00:26:35 Sell me a name...
00:26:37 and I'll make Apollo and Dionysus
00:26:42 That hurts me, Max.
00:26:45 Hey, the world's
00:26:51 Yes, Max.
00:26:52 It is.
00:27:00 Brian O'Blivion.
00:27:03 That is the only name
00:27:05 Professor Brian O'Blivion.
00:27:14 Wait, where you goin'? Come back here.
00:27:16 Hey. Hey, buddy. Got a fag?
00:27:19 - Are they goin'in now?
00:27:26 - Gotta have a smoke and a cup of coffee.
00:27:29 They don't serve coffee there.
00:27:32 I don't need to put up
00:27:38 Take a good look at me.
00:27:43 Let's go.
00:27:51 Hello. Move along.
00:28:00 Move out of my way!
00:28:03 Hello.
00:28:09 Keep on.
00:28:12 Keep going, keep going.
00:28:17 Come on. Step along.
00:29:00 - Bianca O'Blivion?
00:29:02 I'm Max Renn. I, uh -
00:29:05 I did a panel show with Prof. O'Blivion.
00:29:09 Oh, yes. You said some
00:29:12 Violence, sex, imagination, catharsis.
00:29:14 - My exact words.
00:29:16 I wanna talk with your father...
00:29:19 about a new twist in video
00:29:44 I love the view.
00:29:46 You look like them,
00:29:50 Think it's a style that's coming back.
00:29:53 In their case, Mr. Renn,
00:29:56 It's a disease forced on them by their
00:30:01 You think a few doses ofTV
00:30:03 Watching TVwill help patch them
00:30:08 Absolutely.
00:30:12 And I guess you encourage Father's derelicts
00:30:16 The world's mixing board?
00:30:18 Professor O'Blivion sends video letters
00:30:22 - Is the Professor here?
00:30:34 Once you've told me what this visit is all
00:30:38 If he does, which format
00:30:41 If he does, it's gonna
00:30:44 My father has not engaged in conversation
00:30:48 The monologue
00:30:53 Format.
00:30:57 Videodrome.
00:30:59 Is that a Japanese configuration?
00:31:04 - You've never heard of it?
00:31:06 Then there have been serious gaps
00:31:09 Videodrome.
00:31:12 Mention it to your father.
00:31:16 I love the view.
00:31:35 Torture, murder, mutilation.
00:31:39 Videodrome.
00:31:41 What you see on that show...
00:31:44 it's for real.
00:31:46 I'm gonna audition.
00:31:48 I was made for that show.
00:31:50 It has something
00:31:56 It has a philosophy,
00:32:43 Hi. This is
00:32:47 and this came to the office
00:32:50 - What did they say at CRAM?
00:32:52 is definitely not
00:32:55 She had a month off coming.
00:32:57 Don't touch that!
00:33:06 Jesus, Max, you scared me.
00:33:12 What the hell's wrong with you?
00:33:14 I don't know, man. I think I'm gettin',
00:33:17 - Uh -
00:33:21 Are you all right?
00:33:24 Hit me?
00:33:27 You didn't hit me.
00:33:29 No? No.
00:33:35 Do you want me to stay here?
00:33:39 - Uh -
00:33:42 - Can I get you something?
00:33:45 No, I'm just, uh -
00:33:47 Uh, I'm -
00:33:50 I'm exhausted.
00:33:54 and I guess I'm still not out of it.
00:33:56 I'll remember to set the timer.
00:33:58 - You're sure? Are you sure?
00:34:00 Thanks, Bridey.
00:34:02 Max, that other cassette
00:34:05 I promised
00:34:09 Will you call me
00:35:10 The battle for the mind
00:35:12 will be fought in the video arena:
00:35:15 The Videodrome.
00:35:17 The television screen
00:35:22 Therefore, the television screen is part
00:35:27 Therefore, whatever appears
00:35:32 emerges as raw experience
00:35:37 Therefore, television is reality...
00:35:41 and reality is less than television.
00:35:44 Max.
00:35:47 I'm so glad you came to me.
00:35:51 I've been through it all
00:35:55 Your reality is already
00:36:00 If you're not careful,
00:36:05 You'll have to learn to live
00:36:10 I had a brain tumor...
00:36:12 and I had visions.
00:36:16 I believed the visions
00:36:19 and not the reverse.
00:36:22 I could feel the visions
00:36:28 Uncontrollable flesh.
00:36:32 But when they removed the tumor...
00:36:35 it was called Videodrome.
00:36:39 I was the -
00:36:41 L- I...
00:36:44 was Videodrome's...
00:36:47 first victim.
00:36:51 But who's behind it?
00:36:55 I want you, Max.
00:36:58 You.
00:37:04 Come to me.
00:37:07 Come to Nicki.
00:37:11 Come on.
00:37:13 Don't make me wait.
00:37:20 Please.
00:37:52 I want you, Max.
00:37:56 You.
00:38:00 Come on.
00:38:03 Come on.
00:38:11 Come to me now.
00:38:15 Come to Nicki.
00:38:17 Don't keep me waiting.
00:38:21 Please.
00:38:27 Please.
00:38:47 Today Lady Luck
00:38:51 and start them on the road
00:38:53 We have a new group of people
00:38:56 - so tell the staff about that.
00:39:10 Exciting. Very lively.
00:39:13 Careful. It bites.
00:39:22 - You watched the cassette?
00:39:24 - And?
00:39:26 I'm not surprised.
00:39:28 Because your father admits
00:39:32 More than that. It bites.
00:39:36 What kind of teeth
00:39:38 It triggered off a series of hallucinations.
00:39:42 - First time ever?
00:39:46 - ever since -
00:39:51 Since I first saw Videodrome.
00:39:55 How did you come
00:39:57 Pirate satellite dish.
00:40:00 A- An accident.
00:40:04 I made some tapes.
00:40:06 This is part of my own
00:40:08 But that tape is just your father
00:40:11 The tone of the hallucinations is determined
00:40:17 But the Videodrome signal,
00:40:20 it can be delivered
00:40:24 Mmm.
00:40:28 Damage?
00:40:30 The signal induces
00:40:35 It's the tumor that creates
00:40:37 You let me watch it?
00:40:40 I expect them to come to me eventually
00:40:45 Now I realize you're
00:40:48 like Father was.
00:40:50 Where is your father?
00:40:54 He's in there.
00:41:00 I'm afraid he'll disappoint you.
00:41:09 This is him.
00:41:11 - This is all that's left.
00:41:14 Brian O'Blivion died quietly
00:41:19 - The brain problem?
00:41:24 - You have it too.
00:41:28 On tape.
00:41:31 Sometimes three or four a day.
00:41:33 I keep him alive as best I can.
00:41:36 He had so much to offer.
00:41:38 My father helped
00:41:41 He saw it as the next phase in the evolution
00:41:46 When he realized what his partners
00:41:49 he tried to take it
00:41:51 And they killed him.
00:41:55 At the end, he was convinced
00:41:59 was more real than
00:42:02 He wasn't afraid
00:42:11 Tell me about
00:42:14 My father knows much more
00:42:17 Listen to him.
00:42:26 Where's Harlan?
00:42:28 - I think he's up in V.T.R. Max -
00:42:34 - Harlan.
00:42:37 Have you been hallucinating lately?
00:42:40 No.
00:42:42 - Should I be?
00:42:45 You should be.
00:42:50 I believe...
00:42:52 that the growth in my head -
00:42:55 this head, this one right here -
00:42:59 I think that it is not
00:43:03 not an uncontrolled,
00:43:08 but that it is in fact...
00:43:11 a new organ...
00:43:13 a new part of the brain.
00:43:16 I think that massive doses
00:43:20 will ultimately create
00:43:25 of the human brain...
00:43:27 which will produce
00:43:31 to the point that it will
00:43:35 After all, there is nothing real...
00:43:38 outside our perception of reality...
00:43:42 is there?
00:43:46 You can see that, can't you?
00:45:33 - Max Renn?
00:45:35 Who is this?
00:45:37 Barry Convex would like to talk
00:45:40 I've got a car waiting
00:46:22 Please direct your attention to
00:46:26 Mr. Convex has recorded
00:46:41 Hi, I'm Barry Convex,
00:46:46 and I'd like to invite you
00:46:50 an enthusiastic global corporate citizen.
00:46:54 We make inexpensive glasses
00:46:56 and missile guidance systems for NATO.
00:47:00 We also make Videodrome, Max...
00:47:02 and as I'm sure you know...
00:47:04 when it's ready for the marketplace,
00:47:09 It can be a giant hallucination machine
00:47:14 But it's not ready.
00:47:19 We thought nobody
00:47:21 He's good, that Harlan.
00:47:26 Well, now that you have...
00:47:29 I think we oughta have
00:47:32 I thought maybe... my place?
00:48:46 I hope you realize
00:48:50 That's our spring line.
00:48:54 I brought it with me for a trade show
00:48:58 Max Renn, I'm Barry Convex.
00:49:05 I -
00:49:07 I think that machinery
00:49:09 too much for the shape of your face.
00:49:11 Overwhelms you.
00:49:13 Try something more, uh, spidery...
00:49:16 more delicate.
00:49:22 Here she is.
00:49:25 This is the little number
00:49:30 Max...
00:49:32 I would like you
00:49:36 I would like to use this machine
00:49:42 Then I would like to take that tape
00:49:47 Do I get to keep the copyright?
00:49:49 I mean, I'd hate to see it show up as
00:49:53 Max, I'm trying to help you.
00:49:55 What makes you think
00:49:58 None of our test subjects
00:50:03 They're all in need
00:50:08 Now, you seem
00:50:11 so far.
00:50:13 I'd like to find out why...
00:50:15 and I think an analysis
00:50:18 would be the right place to start.
00:50:24 Will it hurt?
00:50:26 It won't hurt you.
00:50:28 You might catch yourself
00:50:30 of a hallucinatory state
00:50:32 If you do, just relax and enjoy it.
00:50:36 But for now, I think that
00:50:40 will be necessary to trigger off
00:50:45 That's why our Videodrome show is so strange.
00:50:49 Something to do with the effects of exposure
00:50:53 It opens up receptors
00:50:55 and that allows
00:50:58 You mean I'm gonna have
00:51:00 'Fraid not. You don't have
00:51:04 You just have to think about it.
00:51:15 Wha-a-a -That's too bright!
00:51:17 - Yes! I forgot! Sorry! How's that?
00:51:19 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's fine.
00:51:28 Okay, we're rolling.
00:51:31 The taping mechanism
00:51:34 You don't have to do
00:51:37 Yeah. Yeah. Okay.
00:51:43 I'll come back for you later.
00:51:48 You'll forgive me if I don't
00:51:52 I just can't cope with the freaky stuff.
00:52:44 Nicki?
00:52:47 - Nicki.
00:52:53 right where we oughta be:
00:52:56 On Videodrome.
00:53:12 What are you waiting for, lover?
00:53:15 Let's perform.
00:53:17 Let's open those neural floodgates.
00:53:45 Aah!
00:53:50 Aah!
00:54:06 Aah!
00:54:11 Aah!
00:54:19 Aah!
00:54:34 What's going on, Professor O'Blivion?
00:54:37 I mean, really.
00:54:39 Oh.
00:55:11 Oh, Masha.
00:55:47 Harlan...
00:55:49 it's Max.
00:55:51 Can you come over to my apartment?
00:55:54 Yeah, I'm serious.
00:55:57 - Come on in.
00:56:00 Camera. Flashgun. What's up?
00:56:04 I want you to go
00:56:06 and I want you to take a look
00:56:08 Uncover it. Don't be shy.
00:56:14 - Pictures of what's in your bed?
00:56:18 Sure. Okay.
00:56:23 Oh, God.
00:56:42 Well?
00:56:47 Max.
00:56:53 I don't see anything.
00:56:56 You didn't just want me to shoot
00:56:59 did you?
00:57:11 - It's disa -
00:57:15 I've got friends who can help.
00:57:19 Did you tape Videodrome
00:57:21 If it was transmitted,
00:57:23 I'll meet you in the lab in one hour.
00:57:26 - Jeez, it's not even 7:00 a.m.
00:57:30 Well, fuck you. I'm not some fucking
00:57:33 You want me to run around like an asshole,
00:57:37 Otherwise, I'll see you
00:57:39 Harlan... you're right.
00:57:42 It's momentum. I'm runnin' like an express
00:57:46 Look, I'll meet you
00:57:49 Okay? And then we'll see if we pulled in
00:57:52 and I'll tell you what's going on.
00:57:54 Everything. I promise.
00:57:57 Okay. I'm sorry
00:58:01 - I don't work with you for the money.
00:58:04 With pirates, it's never
00:58:07 You want a cup of cof- No, look.
00:58:52 Come on in.
00:58:55 Did you look at the tape?
00:58:59 - Did you see me on Videodrome?
00:59:04 There was no Videodrome
00:59:07 Not last night.
00:59:09 - Aw, fuck!
00:59:14 What -What are you talking about?
00:59:20 I'm out of my depth now, patrón.
00:59:22 I had to bring in the reinforcements.
00:59:34 Max.
00:59:38 An intriguing combination.
00:59:42 - Don't let me interrupt.
00:59:45 "What are you talking about?"
00:59:48 I was playing you tapes, Max.
00:59:51 Prerecorded cassettes.
00:59:55 Videodrome has never been transmitted
00:59:58 Not yet.
01:00:00 I guess Barry sent you here,
01:00:03 It has been... two years,
01:00:08 Two. Two wonderful years.
01:00:12 Why?
01:00:19 To get you involved.
01:00:23 To expose you
01:00:27 It didn't affect you because
01:00:31 You knew what was there.
01:00:34 It really does work
01:00:39 Anybody who watches it, Max.
01:00:42 But why would anybody watch it?
01:00:45 Why would anybody watch
01:00:51 Why did you watch it, Max?
01:00:53 - Business reasons.
01:00:59 What about the other reasons?
01:01:01 Why deny you get your kicks
01:01:05 You murdered Brian O'Blivion,
01:01:08 Did you enjoy that?
01:01:19 North America's getting soft, patrón.
01:01:21 And the rest of the world
01:01:25 Very, very tough.
01:01:28 We're entering savage new times...
01:01:30 and we're going to have to be pure...
01:01:34 and direct...
01:01:36 and strong...
01:01:38 if we're gonna survive them.
01:01:40 Now, you and this, uh...
01:01:45 cesspool you call a television station...
01:01:49 and, uh, your people
01:01:52 and, uh, your viewers...
01:01:55 who watch you do it -
01:01:58 you're rotting us away
01:02:03 We intend to stop that rot.
01:02:05 We're gonna start
01:02:09 We're gonna use it for our first authentic
01:02:13 I have a hunch it's gonna be
01:02:17 I've gotta be hallucinating now, right?
01:02:19 I mean...
01:02:22 you two can't possibly be for real.
01:02:26 Ah, we did record
01:02:29 as I said we would.
01:02:32 And we did analyze them.
01:02:36 You're ready for something new.
01:02:39 That's terrific.
01:02:48 What do you, uh -
01:02:51 I want you to open up, Max.
01:02:54 Open up to me.
01:03:10 I've got something
01:03:16 Oh, my God!
01:03:46 We want Channel 83, Max.
01:03:48 Give it to us.
01:03:51 Give us Channel 83.
01:03:55 Kill your partners.
01:03:58 Kill them.
01:04:00 Kill your partners
01:04:23 Aah.
01:05:43 Give us Channel 83.
01:05:46 Kill your partners.
01:05:49 Kill them.
01:05:51 Kill your partners
01:05:57 Hello, Max.
01:06:10 How ya doin', Max?
01:06:21 Where's Moses?
01:06:24 He's in a meeting with Rafe.
01:06:29 Don't.
01:06:40 We dub in a funny track. Gentle comedy.
01:06:44 Mm-hmm.
01:06:48 Yeah. Yeah, I would. I used to write
01:06:52 Hi, Max.
01:06:54 You're just in time to throw some light
01:07:01 Don't.
01:07:12 Max.
01:07:14 What the fuck?
01:07:20 Jesus!
01:07:23 It was from the boardroom!
01:07:25 Max, what happened?
01:07:27 - They killed -They-
01:07:29 - They killed us!
01:07:32 Jesus! Look out!
01:07:35 Help!
01:07:38 In here! In here!
01:07:41 Get out! Just clear outta here!
01:07:43 Come - Get out!
01:07:46 Let me see.
01:07:51 Max!
01:07:53 Max.
01:08:37 Kill Bianca O'Blivion.
01:08:40 She knows too much.
01:08:43 She can hurt us.
01:08:46 Don't let her hurt us, Max.
01:08:49 Kill her.
01:09:59 Bianca O'Blivion.
01:10:02 I run Civic TV.
01:10:05 I was on a talk show
01:10:08 So it was to be you after all.
01:10:11 You've come to kill me.
01:10:13 No. No, I'm Max Renn.
01:10:22 - I don't kill people.
01:10:26 You're an assassin now
01:10:30 They can program you.
01:10:32 They can play you
01:10:35 They can make you do
01:10:38 and they want you to destroy
01:10:43 They want you to destroy me.
01:10:45 Destroy you?
01:11:16 They killed her, Max.
01:11:24 She died on Videodrome.
01:11:26 They used her image to seduce you,
01:11:31 Don't back away.
01:11:34 I stole it from them
01:11:42 Videodrome is death.
01:12:07 That's better.
01:12:09 So much better.
01:12:15 It's always painful
01:12:20 to change the program.
01:12:24 But now that we have...
01:12:26 you'll see that you've become something
01:12:31 You've become
01:12:36 I am the video word made flesh.
01:12:40 And now that you are
01:12:45 you know what you have to do.
01:12:49 You turn against Videodrome.
01:12:52 You use the weapons they've given you
01:12:57 Death to Videodrome.
01:13:00 Long live the new flesh.
01:13:04 Death to Videodrome.
01:13:10 Long live the new flesh.
01:13:25 It was only 26 hours ago
01:13:28 that a bizarre, apparently
01:13:31 which has triggered off
01:13:34 Thirty-four-year-old Max Renn,
01:13:37 is being sought in connection
01:13:39 of two executives
01:13:41 You wanna see the monkey dance,
01:13:44 See what I'm sayin', Teddy? You know
01:13:47 They don't last in the cold.
01:13:50 I can't dance.
01:13:53 But, uh, I can't, so -
01:13:55 You got some change, Teddy?
01:13:59 A quarter. You got somethin', Teddy.
01:14:03 Can't ya put somethin'in, Teddy?
01:14:50 Well, hello, sport.
01:14:52 They call me Brolley.
01:14:55 - Just looking.
01:14:58 Well, that's a good one.
01:15:00 There ain't much to see here, but
01:15:03 Ah, what this?
01:15:05 Yeah, this is one hell
01:15:10 Very tricky grind.
01:15:12 Can't imagine you'd see things
01:15:15 Well, don't worry at all.
01:15:33 Where's Convex?
01:15:35 Oh, setting up his trade show.
01:15:38 - Oh.
01:15:41 - What's in the box?
01:15:46 Got your head in this box.
01:15:49 Ah.
01:15:51 You've been busy, Max.
01:15:53 Been readin' about you in the papers.
01:15:57 Have you been
01:15:59 - I saw her.
01:16:02 No.
01:16:04 Well, that's good.
01:16:08 Maybe you'd like to visit
01:16:11 - Is that why you're here?
01:16:16 You've been very useful to us, Max.
01:16:18 We'd like to keep using you
01:16:25 Open up to me.
01:16:37 Got something
01:17:24 See ya in Pittsburgh.
01:17:36 Mommy, look at the big ka-boom!
01:17:40 Tracey, come back here!
01:17:42 - Stay with Mommy.
01:17:44 You come with me.
01:17:46 Come on.
01:19:19 Well, you know me.
01:19:21 - Yeah, we know you.
01:19:24 Every one of you!
01:19:31 We're here to celebrate the arrival
01:19:36 the Medici line...
01:19:38 and our theme for this year
01:19:42 from the famous Renaissance
01:19:46 Lorenzo de Medici.
01:19:49 "Love comes in at the eye,"
01:19:51 and "The eye is the window of the soul."
01:19:53 Now, I think that even Pete...
01:19:57 oughta be able to sell the hell
01:20:11 Oh, God!
01:20:15 No!
01:20:29 Death to Videodrome!
01:20:52 Convex Gagging]
01:23:34 I was hoping you'd be back.
01:23:36 I'm here to guide you, Max.
01:23:39 I've learned a lot
01:23:42 I've learned that death is not the end.
01:23:45 I can help you.
01:23:48 I don't know where I am now.
01:23:50 I'm having trouble...
01:23:53 finding my way around.
01:23:55 That's because you've gone just about
01:24:00 Videodrome still exists.
01:24:06 You've hurt them,
01:24:09 To do that, you have to
01:24:13 What phase is that?
01:24:15 Your body has already
01:24:18 but that's only the beginning -
01:24:20 the beginning of the new flesh.
01:24:24 You have to go all the way now -
01:24:27 a total transformation.
01:24:30 Do you think you're ready?
01:24:34 I guess I am.
01:24:37 How do we do it?
01:24:40 To become the new flesh,
01:24:45 But don't be afraid.
01:24:47 Don't be afraid
01:24:51 Just come to me, Max.
01:24:53 Come to Nicki.
01:24:56 Watch. I'll show you how.
01:24:59 It's easy.
01:25:30 Long live the new flesh.
01:26:22 Long live the new flesh.
