Synopsis[]
Introduction
- [a groggy Kolchak has been doped by the Feds]
I don't know when exactly I was in this office last. In some ways it seems like I never left. But, no, that's not right. For at least a few days I was away, far away, in the hands of men with no faces and no names. They broke me down, broke my story down, telling me how it hadn't happened the way I claimed. At least that’s what I think they did between injections. Memories fade fast enough without chemical help. But if I don't tell this story now, I don’t think I ever will. Now... what was that date?
Closing Narration
- I don’t even know where they took me now. At least I can’t be sure. Maybe it was Terrell Institute but it could just have well been the Black Hills of South Dakota for all I know. Was there a drug? Pentathol? Pascalamine? I can’t be sure of that either but there must have been something. I can’t even be sure the events ever happened the way I told them. Perhaps when I’m completely back in this world, I’ll turn on this tape and not believe any of it myself but I doubt it. Because I believe that somewhere, some place, They or someone else will put some other R.I.N.G together without the help of Leslie Dwyer and who will program him then?
