Original subtitles

Don't be nervous. You know I won't let anything happen to you.

First off, I'm Lolita. I don't know where this signal's going to land.

I don't even know what year it's going to be when it bounces back off the satellite.

Hell, I don't even know if it's going to be this planet.

But whoever you are, don't shut me down.

If you receive this transmission, keep it safe.

The society is trying to stop me, but I'm not going to let them.

And this is what the society's after.

These. These. The stories.

They want to destroy them all. I should know. I was the one destroying them.

It was all part of the cleansing. Let me show you.

That's why I'm doing this.

You'll understand what I'm talking about when you experience the stories.

Jerry, how nice to see you. I can't believe it. Do you feel better? Yes, thank you.

Good.

Welcome back. I saved your favorite spot for you.

Have a seat. Great. Now we can get started.

Good morning, class.

Good morning.

You're going to be very happy to know today that we're

leaving behind the vases of flowers and the bowls of fruit.

I know you love that.

And we're going to be moving on to the human form.

Would you like to come up?

How are you? Come on.

Now I want you to think about emotion.

How do you want the viewer to feel?

Notice also how each line of the body flows into the next.

I want you to capture that flow.

You can start to draw.

Sherry, what's wrong? Are you all right? I'm sorry.

I can't.

I don't know what's gotten into her, but I'm starting to worry.

I'm really afraid that she's going to hurt herself.

I can't even sit her down and talk to her.

I've got to go.

No, she's coming in. I'll call you later.

Hey, babe.

How was the art class? Fine.

Are you cold? Freezing.

Why do you keep this thing down so low? To save money.

I don't care what it costs.

Cold.

How would you like to go down to Little Italy for dinner tonight? Come on.

We haven't been out in...

Christ, it's been so long I can't even remember the last time.

You can go if you want to. You don't need me.

I don't want to go out by myself.

Well, I'm not going.

Fine.

We'll order in.

Again.

Sherry, do you think your hands are clean enough?

Jesus Christ, will you just get the fuck away from me and leave me alone?

God, I'm taking a shower.

What's the matter? Oh, God.

They're back. They're back.

What the hell is the matter with you? Don't touch me.

That's it.

You either get some help or I'm out of here.

I can't take this anymore.

No, sorry. Don't leave. Don't leave me.

Help me. Help me.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

Listen, I have problems.

But the truth of it is...

I don't know what they are.

That's why I'm here, Sherry.

I'm here to help.

You know, there's a lot of people who love and

care about you and only want to see you get better.

I know. I know.

But what am I supposed to do if I don't know what's going on?

Well, tell me how you feel.

It's like I'm out of my body for a while.

I guess you would call them blackouts.

But I never pass out.

It's more like I zone out.

Now I am sounding crazy.

When did these feelings start?

Honestly? When I was 13.

But I never really paid attention to them.

It's only been in the last couple of weeks that they really...

intensified.

I find myself blacking out more often.

I lose track of time.

I'm not aware of my surroundings.

It's like...

It's like I'm dreaming, but I'm wide awake.

When I come out of those dreams...

I don't remember any of it.

There is a way to perhaps unlock these so-called dreams.

How?

Through hypnosis.

Hypnosis?

Well, it can be a very effective tool.

Yeah.

Feel when you bark like a dog every time I hear a bell ring.

Come on, Cherry.

You trust me, don't you?

I just want to stop feeling like this.

Then let me help.

What do I have to do?

Have a seat and relax.

Okay, Cherry.

I want you to...

focus on this pen.

I want you to stare at this pen.

Focus all of your attention on the pen.

Yeah, that's good.

Deeper breaths.

Relax.

Feel yourself drifting.

Drifting.

Now I want you to go back to a time that was happy for you.

Pleasurable experience.

Memory.

Tom.

Now remember that special moment with Tom.

Now this will be your anchor.

That was fun.

I've got another surprise for you.

Whipped cream?

Damn, why didn't I think of that?

You know what?

I hope you like it.

It's beautiful.

What does this mean?

Well, it means that my life didn't start until the day I met you.

I don't want to live another day without you.

So I guess that we should...

get married.

I guess we should.

Where's your ring now, Cherry?

No.

No.

Please.

Don't take my ring.

Who took the ring?

No.

No.

Alright, alright, alright, Cherry.

Go back to your anchor.

Relax.

Deep breaths.

Nice and easy.

Drift.

Let's go back to several weeks ago when you

had these feelings of apprehension intensify.

Do you remember when they started?

I was painting late one night.

Damn.

Great.

Tom!

Tom!

They came back for me.

Who came back for you, Cherry? Visitors.

They said they would come back.

When did you first see them, Cherry? When I was 13.

They took me then.

Where did they take you?

Up.

To the ship.

Back on the ship.

Back on the table.

I hate the table.

No.

Please.

Please.

Please don't touch me.

Your hands.

They're wet.

I know I leave.

I don't like.

No.

No.

Please.

No, please.

Don't take my ring.

No.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop it.

The visitors came with you?

They never talked.

But I could hear them in my head.

So many voices all at once.

When they wanted me to understand.

What did they want you to understand?

I had to be examined.

To make sure I was ready.

Ready for what? Experiments.

It wasn't a dream.

Are you sure you want to go on?

I'm starting to feel like pieces of the puzzle are falling together.

I want to finish.

Okay.

Sherry, I want you to focus all of your attention again on this pen.

What's going on? It's all right.

I'm not going to hurt you.

I promise.

Slow down.

Slow down.

Slow down.

Do you speak English? A little maybe.

Okay.

My name is Sherry.

Sherry.

Sherry? Sasha.

Sasha.

Sasha.

Your name is Sasha.

Okay.

Let's start.

It's all right.

Don't be embarrassed.

You shouldn't be ashamed.

I'm not.

Where is this?

It's not Earth anymore.

We're in trouble, Sasha.

Big trouble.

They kept us there for a long time.

It felt like days.

We helped each other learn.

How do you say Martian? Martian.

Martian.

Druga Planeta.

Druga Planeta.

Druga Planeta.

Martians.

Druga Planeta.

I want to go home.

I want to go home, too.

Don't.

No. Stop it.

No.

Don't take him.

Don't hurt him.

No.

Stop it.

God damn it.

Stop this.

Stop this.

Sherry.

They took him from me.

Why?

Why did they have to take him from me?

It's all right, Sherry.

Just relax.

Come down.

Now.

Now.

What happened next? I waited.

And waited.

And then.

..

What did they do to you? Oh, my God.

Those bastards.

You bastards!

Let us go! It's okay.

It's gonna be all right.

It's gonna be all right.

It's gonna be okay.

Shh.

It's okay.

You're all right.

We needed each other.

It felt like...

It was the only way we knew we were still alive.

What happened next?

They took us back out to be examined.

The visitors.

They told me what they wanted.

They wanted to watch.

They wanted to watch us make love.

They just wanted to watch.

If we do this, we can go home.

Now I see everything clearly.

I can't escape the dreams, but I don't want to.

They become my reality.

They're all I think about now.

They're all I need.

I'm only waiting for the day when the visitors return to take me back where I belong.

To be with them.

Sorry.

You can see how stories can lead to all sorts of interesting discussions.

It's amazing the tricks the mind can play.

The society always said,

who controls the mind, controls everything.

Are you in control of your mind?

It's a subterranean penal colony on the planet Kelvar.

From which there is no escape.

Now, I don't care if you think you're innocent or guilty.

You do your time,

and you follow the rules and you live.

Any questions?

Yeah, I have a question.

Any more questions?

No?

There's no way out.

I'll check for myself.

Human.

It's a tuya.

And I can tell by your attitude you must be an earther.

I haven't seen an earther in this part of the galaxy in eons.

I just got a little off course.

A starship pilot?

Look, I don't feel like being very social right now, so if you would just...

How long is your sentence?

They wouldn't tell me.

But I'm planning on sticking around to find out.

I don't think you have much of a choice.

No one has ever escaped from here.

That's what I keep hearing.

But if that's true, then I'll find out for myself.

And won't I? So stubborn.

So forceful.

Look, just stay out of my face and you won't get hurt.

Let's go, Earther.

Up!

Get your breezy cock off me.

You want a run?

I hope you don't eat Java.

You'll use it for caffeine rush.

Oh, so sorry, my dear.

Would you like something else to drink?

A daring ale?

An illusion brandy?

Whatever you had handy.

I wouldn't want to be any trouble.

This is no pleasure planet, Earther.

You have been caught in Kelvin space and we don't like visitors.

No kidding.

The tribunal has ruled that you're shipwrecked.

Your ship being pounded and you're sentenced to ten years in confinement.

Ten years for traveling into this dust bowl in space?

Are you crazy?

The Alliance won't allow it.

When they find out I didn't return,

they're going to send a whole fleet of star cruisers out looking for me.

Oh, really?

An insignificant little pilot in our insignificant little cargo ship? Leave us.

I do have some influence with the tribunal.

I could speak on your behalf.

Perhaps they would be more lenient with your sentence.

Why would you do that?

Don't you Earthers have an expression?

You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.

I can make your stay here very much easier.

I can also make it extremely painful.

The choice is yours.

Why did you fight them? Funny that way.

You have to give in to them.

Follow the rules.

It's not exactly my style.

See, you're not so tough after all.

I am too damn.

I can show you how to get along in this place.

How long have you been here? Too long.

Have you ever thought about getting out?

And go where?

We're miles underground and I'm not much of a fighter.

Do you know where they're keeping my ship?

In the impound yards.

Can we get there?

Not without getting zapped.

Oh, God.

Have you ever been with a feline before?

I can't say that I have.

Such a shame.

I'm not really into this kind of scene.

How do you know if you've never tried?

I promise I'll be gentle.

What now? Want to dance?

Do you ever shut up?

Get your hands off me, you creep.

The name is Darren.

Casey. Now what the hell is going on?

Look, we don't talk to each other.

We can't even look at each other.

You've got to follow the rules.

Or at least act like you're following the rules.

To hell with that. I'm going to find my way out.

Good luck? Yeah.

How long have you been in here? Almost a year.

I was running cargo across the Mutoid Nebula when I crossed into Kelvin Space.

I tried to outrun them, but their star cruisers were too fast.

I got a few shots off, though.

I was making the same run.

Did your ship damage when they captured you?

My thrusters are shot, but I can fix that in a heartbeat.

You can use your ship to get off this planet.

What makes you think I want to take you?

Because I know my way around here.

And there's no way you can make it past the guards until you ship without my help.

I've been in tougher places.

I'm sure you have.

Listen, pal, I don't have to... No, you listen.

These Kelvins, they don't follow Alliance rules.

They like breaking you down. They get off on that.

The tougher you are, the harder they get.

Now you listen and you do what I say,

you'll end up spending the rest of your life in this place.

I don't take orders well, and I don't take them from some stupid cargo jockey.

Fine.

I'll get your ship on my own.

Go ahead and try, and you're going to use the wrong code to blow past the planet.

Then I guess we're stuck with each other.

Fine.

How much time before you have to go back?

The guards are changing shifts.

They won't be looking for me.

For us.

For about ten minutes.

That should be plenty of time if you're any good.

What are you doing?

I'm going to be sticking my neck out for you.

I want to find out what I'm getting into first.

Besides, I've been in space for about six months.

That's a long time before shore leaves.

You can't.

I would have was.

Wow.

Yeah.

So you find yourself a new playmate.

I'm so jealous.

It's too bad we had to discipline him.

I don't think he'll be much use to you now.

Go to hell.

Oh, still feisty, eh?

I think it's time for a little lesson in discipline.

For you as well.

Go ahead.

Scream out.

Squirming.

I like that.

Looks like somebody else needs a little discipline too.

Huh, bitch? Oh, please, no.

It's me.

Come on.

Casey?

Get out of here.

It's all right.

It's all right.

Casey?

Come on, you're going to get out of here.

Come on.

I can't.

You go on.

I'm not going to leave you here to die.

I can't.

Jesus.

It's too late.

Casey, we have to go.

It's around the next bend.

Let's go.

I can't.

What are you talking about? I'm afraid.

But we're almost there.

I don't know what's out there for me.

Whatever it is, it's better than what's in there.

This life is all I know.

Don't let it beat you.

I can't.

I can't.

Save yourself, please.

Tell the Alliance about this place and I'll be back for you.

I promise.

What's happening?

A simple experiment in behavioral science.

What are you talking about?

Your ship crossed into our space and we detained you for this experiment.

You're free to go now.

You mean none of that was for real? Of course not.

What do you take us for?

Barbarians?

What gives you the right to mess with my mind like that?

Well, you did cross into our space.

Oh, right.

I guess that makes us even.

Now we're even.

You liked that one, didn't you?

Yeah, I thought so.

Well, I have another one for you.

Oh, shit.

Damn.

Security forces locked onto our signal.

Oh, no.

Don't worry.

I've got some tricks in store for them.

And we have time for one more transmission before we pack up.

Come on, love.

Danger's half the fun.

Say, what's the chemical symbol for selenium? Huh? Right.

Look who I'm asking.

Good morning.

Well, it's getting better by the minute.

Coffee?

You read my mind.

I can barely keep my eyes open.

Long haul?

You wouldn't believe.

You hungry? I'm starving.

Now, let me guess.

Pancakes?

Eggs over easy?

Side of bacon?

And a large OJ?

That's exactly what I wanted.

Now, how'd you know that?

I just got a gift.

Yeah.

Just look how far it's got me.

Jim, you want to get back there and get this man his breakfast? Yeah, yeah.

Don't rush me.

It'll be just a minute.

Now, you wouldn't happen to know the chemical symbol for selenium, would you?

Selenium?

I think it's SC.

Yeah.

It fits.

Thanks.

Looks like it's going to be another scorcher today.

Why should today be any different?

Well, I figured it was time for a change.

Nothing ever changes around here.

Don't you know that, Lefty? Hey, there.

Jesus.

You scared me.

Sorry.

The storeroom's back here.

I just had to get some syrup for your pancakes.

Yeah, right.

Thanks.

Hi, my name's Keely.

Hey, Keely.

I'm Jake.

So, whatcha haulin', Jake?

A load of furniture.

From Encino to Tulsa.

That's right.

Yeah.

It's a real trip.

So, thank you for helping me with my crossword puzzle out there.

You sure know your chemical symbols.

You must have gone to college or something.

Yeah.

And look where it got me.

I never had a college boy before.

Had him for what?

What do you think? Silly.

I told the drivers to stop in here.

Only ones I think are cute.

You know, Keely, I've been up a long time.

Well, there's a hop.

There's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

It's a hop.

You sure know how to hit all the right spots.

Hey, you weren't too bad yourself.

So, how long you gonna be around?

As long as it takes to eat my pancakes, darling.

You sure you don't want to stick around a little bit longer?

I sure could use more of that lovin'.

Well, you know what?

Not enough time, darling.

Not enough time.

Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.

Suit yourself.

Your breakfast is ready, honey.

Keely?

What the hell's going on here?

What do you mean, baby? This place.

..

It's not what it was.

Come on over here. Get something to eat.

I think you're getting a little lightheaded.

What year is it?

Year? It's 1955, man.

What year do you want it to be? Okay.

Okay.

This is some kind of joke, right?

Looks like it's gonna be another scorcher today.

You! Look, it's not supposed to be 1955.

1955?

1979?

1942?

Don't matter what year it is when your time is slipping.

What?

Time slipping, boy.

You caught up in a time slip.

You've got to help me.

Hey! I'm talking to you!

Where you going, sweetie?

This has got to be a dream.

I've got something special for you.

Not again!

Not again!

What? What's going on?

You know what's going on, pretty boy.

Now get!

Let's go!

Let's go!

Hell if I help!

Why is this happening to me?

You said you didn't have enough time.

Well, we're gonna give you a whole bunch of time now.

Then you're controlling this? Nope.

Sorry.

Who is?

Well, that's kind of a complicated question.

You've got to help me. I can't stay here.

That's the ticket.

You keep thinking that way.

You're gonna be alright.

You mean I can find the right time?

Everybody needs the right time to live in.

What's yours?

Are you ready for your time in the ring, boy?

No!

He's leaving!

No!

This can't be happening.

You've got to get me out of here.

You!

You!

You!

Show me the way out!

Show me the way out!

Come on!

What?

Is this what you want?

Is this what you want, huh?

Come on!

Come on!

Come on!

No!

No!

No!

If you're still watching this, you're too late.

I already sent out the transmission.

And guess what?

I'm gonna keep sending out the transmissions until I broadcast all the stories.

Oh, you're gonna have to work harder than that to catch me.

Keep watching the airwaves.

Okay, keep it up, guys. Let's go. Keep it going.

That's it. Let the passion build.

Grab a breath. That's it.

Bring your hands up.

Don't look away.

Don't pull his wig off, though.

Alright, keep it going.

Alright, Billy, bring her up now.

Great. Beautiful. Beautiful.

Let it build. You're capable for crying out loud.

Keep it going, guys. Keep it going.

We're gonna count down to a big climax now.

Billy, you got it.

Profile. Profile. Put her in profile.

Point her head the other... That's it.

Okay, here we go.

And one.

Building up. Building up.

Two.

That's it. Keep it going. Keep it going.

Hey, big explosion. It happens for you.

Beautiful.

Collapse down now. Collapse down.

Settle in. Settle in.

Beautiful.

That's it. Alright, pan off.

Pan off the camera.

Perfect. Cut.

Okay, people. That's lunch.

Can I have a towel, please? Sorry.

Please, I need my hot towel to dry off.

How's my profile? Perfect.
