The scientists say that the super human version of Clinton predicted a casino Craps game by watching previous rolls of the dice. The scientists would know that not even a super human could do that (because each roll is independent). Only in a Black Jack card game in a casino can previous outcomes assist in future predictions.
Only if one looks very closely can one see bits of the fishing lines hoisting Sgt. Alger when Dr. Clinton lifts him up from the floor.
The chemically enhanced Dr. Clinton, morally compromised and capable of mind-manipulation (which he calls post-hypnotic suggestions), and who can think as fast as a computer, carries out his bold plan to quietly lead the human race in a new direction by throwing Sgt. Alger through a door and threatening to kill Dr. Wayne and Lt. Branch if Sgt. Alger doesn't sit tight and shut up.
When an eyewitness reports seeing Dr. Peter Wayne at the building where and when its night watchman was killed, Dr. Wayne launches into an extraordinary speculation that ties newspaper reports of a Brainiac winning at craps and a Hercules helping a imperiled motorist with their night watchman's assailant. He bares no logic for this incredible linkage of the murderer, the gambler, and the roadside hero, yet others decide to give it some favorable thought rather than logically consider that Dr. Wayne is trying to move the finger of suspicion away from himself.
Pragmatic and capable of mind-manipulation, Dr. Clinton decides instead to trust Dr. Peter Wayne before converting him.
