"What's goin' on here?" "Jack, I'm pullin' you down the line." "There's some place you have to be now." "[Jack] Jennings, that sounds like an order." "Since I'm a senior member of the council, you're damn right it is." "Can't you just let it slide until I've singed my last trancer?" "Where the hell you sending me this time?" "It's about your daughter and your non-future." "What the hell are you talkin' about?" "God damn it, stop it!" "Surprise, Jack!" "You're goin' down the line now."

"Did you see it?" "I'll be by tomorrow for a confirmation report." "Thanks a lot, Doc." "What do you mean, be careful?" "Really?" "Are you OK?" "Well but why would anyone be upset that we saw the meteor?" "No, no I'll be by tomorrow." "OK, bye." "Hello." "Hello." "Hello." "(thud)" "Shoot!" "Please don't stain." "Please don't stain." "I need my cleaning deposit back, thank you very much." "(whoosh)" "(gasp)" "(thud)" "(dramatic music)" "That was an ass breaker of a ride." "Too old to be goin' up and down the line like this."

"No, no, no Jennings," "I'm gonna tear you apart!" "(door lock clicks)" "(dramatic music)" "(door creaks open)" "Explain yourself, Toots." "You'll be turnin' tricks at the pearly gates." "Let go of me, Trooper Deth." "You know, you should really work on your technique." "Jennings." "That's right, my great great great grandma was a ho." "I hope I don't look surprised because I'm not." "Very funny." "Look, just don't go blab to the council, OK?" "You know the tight asses they can be." "If you'd tell me what the hell is going on." "Whose body am I in?" "It's your daughter, Jack." "You better start explaining now." "I was doing a standard monitor of the time continuum, just to make sure everything was at it should be." "We've gone down the line so many times," "I'm surprised all of history isn't out of whack." "Your history might be, Jack." "Take a look." "When you left Lena back in Old Los Angeles, she was pregnant with your daughter." "When you met the child, Lena let you believe that someone else was the father in order to spare your feelings." "Well, I did a DNA trace, and she's yours." "Otherwise, you couldn't be in her body right now." "Guess these time travel paradoxes have finally gone from the ridiculous to the sublime." "[Jennings] Not really." "She's in trouble, or should I say, you're in trouble." "Last time I was here, I wiped out all the trancers." "We don't know who or why." "I grabbed these images from the time belt, and they show the girl fighting for her life." "If she loses, then you're erased." "I mean, she exists in the past, or well, right now, so eventually her descendants will be your parents." "Congratulations, Jack." "You've just fathered your own great great great grandmother." "Jesus, could you have screwed this up anymore?" "I can't even get my brain around this." "Then think of it this way." "Someone is trying to kill your daughter, and I think it's a trancer." "Maybe you should be a dad, stay in her body, and save her." "Full reinstatement?" "Lieutenant Jack Deth, you are once again a trancer hunter, first class." "I don't know what your daughter's gotten herself into." "You have to find that out on your own." "Shouldn't be too hard, singe a few trancers, be back by supper, you're buyin'." "Deal." "Oh Jennings, if you need some cash before you go back, there's a convention in town." "Just don't screw this up, Jack." "Your daughter's life and yours depends on it."

"OK, it's just that I've never been able to sell you anything but organic sesame buns." "New diet, fats, animal protein, and carbs only." "What about them?"

"This is your last chance, Josephine." "Save your flattery for the boss." "That's a great suit, Mr. Castle." "Have a seat, Miss Forrest." "I meant at the other end." "I like to look right into somebody's eyes when I grill them." "You requested this audience, but I'm gonna make it easier on both of us." "Now, I looked over your report, and I even checked with NASA, and there is no evidence of a meteor shower in the area you pinpointed." "That plus the fact that this has nothing to do with your job means I don't want to be bothered with this again." "This meeting is over." "Hold it, pal." "I got some questions." "What have I done that's got you in such a sweat?" "Excuse me?" "Look, I've seen martian molesters put up better fronts than you're doin' right now." "Have you lost your mind?" "There's a video of this thing crashing to the earth." "Why are you saying it didn't happen?" "Well I'm sorry I didn't make myself clearer." "One, what you saw was a gaseous explosion above the earth's atmosphere." "And two, you're fired." "I know what you are, buddy." "Oh, I lied about the outfit, but I still think you got a great ass."

"Some penetrate the atmosphere?" "Well you know they do, all the time, but only one in every 200 thousand ever reaches a populated area." "So it's rare, but why is everybody so pissed off?" "Well I don't know what's upsetting people." "Maybe the aliens have finally landed." "Wouldn't that be something?" "I've met 'em, Doc." "They're no great shakes." "Smell bad, too." "Listen, we're not the only ones that saw this thing." "Well, certainly not, but we don't know what happens to the information once we inform the authorities, do we?"

"Congratulations, but you better break the record for finding the killer, because you're starting to fade." "What the hell are you talking about?"

"You don't think much of this place either, kid, huh?" "Kid?" "How old are you?" "Older than you think." "So where'd they pick you up?" "Sleeping in a doorway on Argyle, like the rest of us." "All these kids runaways?" "Runaways 'cause mom and dad tossed our asses out or dad couldn't keep his slong away from his daughter." "Rest of 'em are just your run of the mill bums and winos."

"If the rich aren't safe in their gated communities, then who is?" "No one." "Now we've aimed high this time, but we have to start finding replacements for the city and state officials we've removed." "Not some carbon copy idiots taking their place, but our own people." "Our own trancers." "(suspenseful music swells)" "Look, I know this is better than livin' on the streets, but you don't wanna be tranced." "They're frying your brains." "They're teaching us to stand up for ourselves." "By killing on command?" "That's the kind of scum bag who's been victimizing us our whole lives." "Tell me, honey, how many of those little blue devils have you eaten today?" "Oh, you're losin' 'em." "Why not let it go?" "Because I know what kind of crazy shit this will lead to." "What?" "Have you got a crystal ball?" "Yeah, I've seen the future, and it sucks unless we do something about it now." "Look, I know you're all drugged or hypnotized." "That sleazebag with the hot dog cart's probably been feedin' you crap for months to soften you up." "Sam is our friend." "Look, you gotta get it together." "This place is goin' up in flames, and I don't wanna see innocent people buy it for some trancing bitch." "Now I can help you get the hell out of here, but you gotta want it."

"(knocking on door)" "(keys jingle)" "(toilet flushing)" "(phone dialing)" "Hey, it's me." "Yeah, I've got something to report." "Yeah, in the usual way." "(suspenseful music)" "You did your job, now make your report." "The girl was trying to get the bunk house to escape with her 'cause she said the whole place was going up in flames." "Now what did she mean by that?" "I don't know." "I don't know, Miss Shauna." "I kept her alive trusting you, Mark, to find out what she knew so you can turn her." "But then I've always had a little doubt about your worth." "Maybe I should just treat you like the other me and put you in the trancing beam just to be sure." "Then we can never be together again." "Well, you're very replaceable." "You're lucky that I choose to tolerate you for now." "(suspenseful music)" "(gentle guitar music)" "You see?" "They don't seem like they're having such a bad time." "Sure, they're all brain dead." "It's better than the alternative." "When you gonna wise up, babe?" "Son, you really don't know who you're dealing with." "I'd back off big time if I were you." "(car doors shut)" "Surprised it took you so long to find it." "It was right there in plain sight." "Sorry to point out your shortcomings." "She's getting away!" "Hey, you looking for this?" "Get your ass out of the car." "(car door shuts)" "Miss Jo, what happened to the nice clothes and the nice attitude?" "Lady I knew would never play with guns." "Lady you knew is gone, asshole."

"How many of these kids have you killed?" "We are just helping a lost and bitter generation find a purpose." "That little demonstration of yours last night was lovely." "When do they start eating brains?" "Don't worry, you'll understand everything in just a few seconds." "(suspenseful music swells)" "(lasers)" "You mousy little bitch." "I don't know how you got here, but you are leaving on a mission 'cause there's someone that we need to help us fight the scum of the world, and you're gonna get him for us." "Say you understand me." "I understand you." "I live to do your will." "To flourish in your shadow, to grovel at your feet like the unworthy cur that I am." "To wallow in your filth." "That's enough!" "No, nothing's enough." "God above all others, master of all masters." "Get her and two others ready for transport." "(suspenseful music)" "What task has the glorious Miss Shauna set us to this fine day, we who are so unworthy we could never hope to..." "Will you shut up with that crap?" "There's the objective right over there." "(suspenseful music swells)" "(car door shuts)" "(suspenseful music)" "Get out!" "I'm not afraid to use force." "Good God, Josephine."

"They're wrong." "I know." "That's our ace in the hole." "He didn't put up a fight at all." "It's your ex-employee who's causing all the problems." "Now she's gone to enormous lengths to protect Malvern." "You might be able to use that." "I know how to handle this." "No, you'll leave a pile of corpses, and we won't be any closer to our goal." "If Miss Forrest and Malvern have a friendship, use it against them." "Once Malvern is compliant, you can gut the girl for all I care, but if you kill her now, she's of no use." "Those are my orders, Shauna." "Yes sir." "Good evening, doctor." "Hope this hasn't been too much of a trial for you." "Except for the zombies and the mass murders, it's been peachy." "You're lucky you're still standing." "I'd show a little bit more respect if I were you." "Yeah, Toots?" "Respect for what?" "The possibility of new world order, with your help, Doctor." "Josephine told me." "That's the meteor we tracked." "Come take a look." "What's it say?" "Less than 20 retins." "Josephine, there's practically no radiation at all." "See?" "No danger of contamination." "Bullshit." "What about the ray that thing gives off?" "Doctor, even though it has no radiation, this meteor has special qualities that we have distilled, an energy force that alters human tissue," "particularly those of the brain." "What are you talking about?" "By focusing the energy using this device, we're able to concentrate the ray on the frontal lobes" "using the optical nerve as a point of entry." "(lasers)" "Good God." "(grunting)" "What have you done to this child?" "Oh, this is just a demonstration, but you see the result." "With certain drugs, we've been able to control the behavior of these subjects, evoke certain emotions, and in this case, rage." "Nothing like an army of killers to make your megalomaniacal day complete." "That's why you're here." "I can't have anything to do with something so monstrous." "These results are not our ultimate aim." "This poor child's life was over a long time ago." "Don't feel sorry for her." "(rapid gunfire)" "God." "Doctor, we don't want you to be a part of this." "We want you to help us modify the beam so that the results are not that extreme." "Examine the meteor, test its elements." "I know that you can find a key to harness this force." "We don't want an army of killers." "What do you expect from me?" "Your best efforts, or you friend is dead." "Doc, don't listen to that shit, and don't worry about me." "I'm gonna kill all their trancing asses." "(punches)" "(grunts)" "She's helpless." "If you want her to live, then get to work." "Come on, I want to show you something." "Come on!" "You can't do anything for her now." "We've been gathering these meteors since the first shower started two years ago." "I remember." "I tracked it, I reported it." "Only to us, Doctor." "We've intercepted all your reports since then." "They led up to the very first tiny pieces of energy scattered around the desert." "We saw the potential for something very important in that rock and started experiments." "The results are in here." "(suspenseful music)" "We've had other scientists work with us on perfecting the trancing beam." "The results, as you can see, have been, well, unfortunate." "So all this human misery's worth it, isn't it?" "Don't suddenly grow balls, Doctor." "They don't fit you." "Just do as your told, and you and the girl can walk out of here." "Don't try my patience." "If you haven't noticed, I don't have any." "(suspenseful music)" "Jennings, if you can hear me, don't worry." "My daughter ain't dyin' like this, and neither am I." "You got a problem, babe?" "Just talkin' to a friend up the line." "I was tellin' him how sweet it's gonna be to kill you." "Don't think so, babe." "See, I've looked into my future, and it's clear sailing." "I've got somebody on the inside." "No shit." "Just don't count on them to protect you from me." "I'm shakin', babe." "I'm the one on the inside." "(suspenseful music)" "(switches click)" "(machinery beeps)" "(suspenseful music)" "(thuds)" "I never seen one do that before, Doc." "You need to try that again." "Don't worry, we'll get this up." "(suspenseful music)" "[Jo] Put me down." "You know how this works, Doctor, don't you?" "Complete the circuit, and you get a real nice effect." "(screams)" "Stop it!" "(grunts)" "Are you out of your mind?" "Failure won't be tolerated, Doctor!" "I gave you a job to do, and I expect you to do it." "One more test that doesn't work, and Miss Forrest..." "The name's Jo Deth, bitch." "Deth, fine." "How appropriate, and it won't be a pretty one, either, unless your friend cooperates." "I won't let you down." "Put her in the last cell." "Enjoy yourself." "(suspenseful music)" "I've singed trancers that make you guys look like choir boys." "You're nothin'." "OK, guess we're all in the same shape here, huh?" "It's alright, I'm a friend." "[Shauna] How do the targets look to you?" "Oh they're doable provided we can replace them quickly with our own people." "Oh that's being taken care of right now." "Now, Malvern has given you nothing but failures." "Assassins are fine, but we need intelligent subjects we can control." "His background makes him perfect for this, and let's just say I gave him a little incentive." "I know we want to put one of our own in power as soon as possible." "I have the candidate." "We don't even have to trance this one to get him to do what we want, but treatments would modify his behavior and give us a chance to educate him." "I can see him running for office." "Oh, I could see him winning." "Have your eyes on being the first lady?" "I'm not that ambitious, sir." "I'll settle for assisting you." "How comforting." "(hammering)" "(suspenseful music)" "(liquids bubbling)" "(suspenseful music)" "(knocking on door)" "Josephine, can you hear me?" "Yeah." "Take this." "Believe it or not, I found a good use for this thing." "With the proper filters, it will greatly reduce your healing time." "Put the salve on your wounds and dress them with a sterile gauze." "[Jo] Thanks, Doc." "For once, I'm gonna rescue you." "(suspenseful music)" "Thanks." "(inaudible dialogue)" "(car door shuts)" "I think I found something to meet your requirements." "How so?" "I broke down the base elements of the meteor and found substances that will filter out certain types of the energy it gives off." "The dosage of the ray can be controlled so you can simply break a man's will or turn him into a raving animal, your choice." "Since I need to have it operate at its mildest level," "I think Josephine would be a perfect choice, don't you?" "I mean it can't hurt her much." "That's not the deal we talked about." "I don't remember having that conversation." "In fact, I don't think that it ever took place." "(suspenseful music)" "You know your shit, Doc." "Here, this'll help." "With this gift from the stars," "I can give you strength and power." "Sometimes we need a brute force to deal with the scum who control our lives, and other times, we need the power of mind." "Now we have a choice as to which direction we will go in order for our voice to be heard in this world, and I ask you, children, do you want a voice?" "[Both] Yes." "[Both] Yes." "I ask it again, do you want a voice to be heard in this world?" "Not the cries of some weak victims, but someone of strength," "of body and mind." "Someone with true power." "[All] Yes."
