All language subtitles for the_outer_limits_s07e08_think_like_a_dinosaur

Good morning, Steve.

Good morning. The jump chamber is
primed. Are you ready?

Yes. Let's go then.

You've not eaten since 0600 yesterday?

No. You have removed all jewelry and
artificial devices from your body,

including contacts, hearing implants,
and other sensory enhancement devices?

Yes. You have reviewed and signed the
release documents?

Yes. All right then.

One last thing.

I hear they're working on grape flavor.

Come on.

Come on.

Remember,

stay as still as possible.

It's important to breathe normally,
especially when the solution covers you.

You must aspirate it so that solution
coats all mucous membranes.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Yes.

Um,

Doc.

You haven't lost anyone in this thing,
have you?

Don't worry, Steve.

We're going to take good care of you.

I try to relax and remember what I said
about breathing.

you

Here we go, Steve.

Let's relax.

Grave, Steve.

Thank you.

There is nothing wrong with your
television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We
are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the
vertical. We can deluge you with a

channels or expand one single image to
crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our
imagination can conceive.

For the next hour, we will control all
that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and
mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limit.

We believe that human advancement should
be attained at almost any cost.

But what if that ultimate payment is
one's soul?

Willa Carson, actually. Hi. Michael
Burr. The dinos aren't much for first

Welcome to the snake pit.

Thanks.

Uh,

thank you, Administrator Lena.

Warm and fuzzy, aren't they?

I think etiquette kind of embarrassed
them, if that's possible.

Um, well... No, don't worry about it.
You'll get used to it. Come on. I'll buy

you a cup of coffee.

They call them dinos to their face.

They don't care.

In order to hurt their feelings, they
have to have them first, right? But to

insult them to their face. Oh, hell,
they've got worse things for us. They

us weeps and the babies.

Not that I blame them, given how much
more advanced they are than us.

I'm just glad they stay behind that
glass.

Didn't they give you any training before
you got here?

The glass is for atmosphere.

Their air is three times as dense as
ours, and it's mostly carbon dioxide.

I know what the glass is for, but come
on.

Tell me it doesn't make you nervous
looking at those incisors all day.

The Hanan are a truly advanced species,
Will. They're not driven by anger or

fear or hatred, like those wonderful
human emotions.

In fact, they're pacifist, totally non
-violent.

And despite those incisors, they're
vegetarian to boot.

Wait a second. They don't eat burgers.

I thought you said they were advanced.

Start shuttle docking in T -minus five
minutes. Damn, I forgot about the

shuttle.

Let's go meet our next customer.

How often do these things run?

About every eight hours.

Some are supply ships, some bring
jumpers, and take the ones that arrive

back to Earth.

You get a lot of returning jumpers? A
few.

Mostly people are dying to get off
Earth, not come back.

Kamala Shastri.

I'm Michael Burr. I'm your jump
supervisor.

This is Will Carson. You'll be assisting
me.

Glad to meet you, Burr.

Let's get you to jump at 0800 tomorrow
morning.

As you know, it's important that your
body acclimate itself here for 12 hours

beforehand. If you'll follow me, I'll
show you to your quarters.

That'd be great.

Thanks. Thanks, Will.

I'll meet you in the common room in half
an hour.

See you in the morning, Kamala.

Well, maybe winning the lottery isn't
the exact analogy, but it's pretty

I mean, of 250 ,000 or so applications
for jumps, how many do you accept a

300?

275. At least in this pilot program.

Once this initial testing is done,
there'll be a lot more.

Eventually, we'll have 1 ,000 jump
stations doing as many as 10 million

year. Of course, that's still a year
away.

It'll be way too late for my doctoral
thesis.

That's why I feel so lucky.

I mean, there's no way I could travel
again the conventional way. It would

me over a hundred years.

You'll be having lunch with the Gentians
tomorrow.

Well, after all these years of study, to
finally be there.

Well, here we are.

Not exactly swank, but you'll only be
here till morning.

As you know, no food tonight, water
only.

Well, good night.

Michael?

Do you think I could see it?

The jump room, I mean?

The room is off limits except during
jumps.

It's against regulations to... I won't
touch anything.

I just want to see it before I have to.

Before the jump.

Please?

We're not allowed to go into the jump
room itself. It's kept sterile until

before the jump.

But you can see the room in the jump
chamber from here.

This is the control room.

You can read about it and see the vids,
but it's just not the same.

Right there.

The hunt and control from in there.

This is the human supervisor's control.

What's it for?

Once the transfer is complete and
confirmed, we have two copies of the

One here, and an exact duplicate at the
destination point.

He told us about it in our training.

Called a redundancy. That's right.

You have to destroy the jumper left
behind.

The Hanan call it balancing the
equation.

How cute.

And you've missed it. Well, that's them.

Sentimental to a fault.

Does it hurt?

Not a bit.

You'll close your eyes here and open
them again.

Must be hard for you, though, to push
that button.

I mean, knowing that it... For the Hanen
will trust us with this technology.

They must know that we will
unflinchingly balance the equation every

This is the whole reason for this pilot
program, and it's the reason I'm here.

I have four advanced degrees, and my
only responsibility is to push that

I don't think twice.

I didn't mean to apologize. It's all
right.

I'm sorry.

This is irregular.

I know, Sir Lloyd. I just wanted... You
will follow protocol.

The jumper will return to quarter.

Of course.

Good night.

This is Will Carson.

I'm in.

No one suspects anything.

Excellent. Keep us informed.

Good morning.

All ready?

Are you ready?

Yes.

No.

Gendian, isn't it?

Meditation sphere?

It's supposed to reflect your inner
emotions.

I find it relaxing.

Judging by its color, I'd say you're
more queasy than relaxed right now.

No kidding.

I should be excited, but frankly, I'm
not sure I can get out of this chair.

You will.

They all do.

Shall we?

So, patriarchal power hierarchy, huh?

Excuse me?

Well, on your profile, you said you were
going to Ghent for the next two years

to chronicle Ghentian patriarchal power
hierarchies within the transgenic

populations.

Sounds like a bunch of heady stuff.

Well, truth be told, the anthropology is
only part of it.

It's really about Piri.

Piri?

And Galileo, and Armstrong, and Goodall.

The thrill of being the first human to
explore a new world.

Yeah, that's pretty cliche, huh? No,
just honest.

Most jumpers are the same. They want to
escape the smog and overcrowding of the

Earth.

The mission statements on the front of
those applications are just the academic

veneer.

You're pretty insightful for someone
with four advanced degrees.

Thought you academic types were
withdrawn and bookish.

Well, it's just an image we want to
promote.

Helps hide our social dysfunction.

Dinos are nothing if not punctual.

My bag. It's okay.

We'll sew it for you along with your
clothes until you return.

Thanks for talking to me, Michael.

part of the service.

How is the subject?

Calm and in control.

We can't afford another breakdown in
protocol with the Haunted. I understand.

I'm going to observe the jump now.

So far, Michael has shown no overt signs
of stress.

I have no cause for concern.

I'll be in touch.

Including contacts, hearing implants,
and other sensory enhancement devices?

Yes. You've reviewed and signed the
release documents?

Yes.

Your stasis solution?

L 'chaim.

Is it good? Delicious.

If you like mercury ethyl chloride.

Would you keep this for me?

Until I get back?

Sure.

Who knows?

Maybe you'll have better luck making it
work than I did.

I doubt it.

But you can show me how to use it when
you return.

I will.

The jumper will enter chamber!

It's okay.

You'll be fine.

Don't worry, I'll walk you through it.

Okay,

Kamala.

Remember to stay still as possible.

It's important to breathe normally,
especially when the solution covers you.

It has to coat all of your
dismembrances, you understand?

Yes. What's the station for this?

It immobilizes the tissues until a
complete scan can be done.

Does it really stop the heart?

The heart, brain, lungs, everything has
to be in complete stations for the scan

to be successful.

Complete stations for how long?

It's only two seconds. Ouch.

But the jumper barely feels it because
they're reconstituted at their

destination point long before the
effects of the tape can be felt.

You doing great, Mama?

Just try to keep breathing normally.

You have to breathe in the solution. You
can do it.

James Bond!

What's up?

I don't know. It's never happened
before.

Non -confirmation of transmission
retriever.

Do not balance equation.

mean aborting? Did she reconstitute Gend
or not?

Did

she

make it to Gend or not, Administrator?

Confirm this information.

Interrogation with Gend was interrupted.

And when will you know?

We will inform.

What about Kamala?

Kamala? The jumper.

The procedure was reported. She is
unhung.

Physically, maybe.

But it took me an hour to calm her down.
She was nearly psychotic.

Mental states do not concern us. She is
structurally uncorrupted.

Structurally uncorrupted, great.

I will contact you when I know more.

Michael.

Well? I don't know when they'll confirm
transmission.

Looks like Kamala's gonna have to jump
all over again.

She's gonna love that.

Yeah, no kidding.

What about the Hanan?

What about them?

Are they angry that Kamala lost it?

Why is it you're so worried about how
the Hanan feels?

And what is it with all those questions
in the jump room for a replacement tech?

You don't know a lot about jump
technology.

I know, of course I know what jump
technology is. Not for someone who's

to have a double PhD in physics.

Look, I know I'm new, but I assure
you... When two jump transmitters are in

phase, what's the quantum differential?

Okay, I'm not gonna be questioning...
Who the hell are you, really?

Look, Michael, it's not a nefarious
deceit.

I'm with Zykov.

You're a rink?

I did my quarterly. I know, and passed
with flying colors. I know, just like

Jackson. When Jackson bugged out, it
made the brass nervous. I was sent here

watch you, make sure you're okay.

You son of a bitch, you're here to spy
on me. Look, Michael, I'm sorry for the

deceit, but we cannot afford another
protocol for each of us.

Unbelievable.

Unbelievable.

Is this what you call establishing good
doctor -patient trust?

Look, I...

Just stay out of my way, okay?

And you can tell your handlers that if
they're worried about my sanity, sending

squirrels like you to spy on me isn't
going to help the cause.

I just woke up from a terrible
nightmare.

Realized it all really happened.

It was horrible, Michael.

The darkness.

The suffocation.

And then the pain.

Like your whole body's being set on fire
from the inside.

You wish for death.

Do you know what that's like?

It's over now.

If it makes you feel any better, the
Hunnid are trying to figure out what

wrong. I don't care if they fix it.

I'm not doing it again. I'm not getting
back into that machine.

Okay. It's okay.

You don't have to.

This whole program is voluntary.

It's honey and sweet tea.

Believe it or not, the dinos have quite
a sweet tooth.

It can't be easy living here with
creatures so different from you.

There's only one other human being in
the company.

It's not so bad.

You'll get used to it after a while.

How long have you been here?

Just over two years.

Wow.

The walls don't close in.

Even Earth is better than this tin can.
The work I have to do is important.

There's got to be more to it than that.

There's something keeping you here,
isn't there?

I'm sorry, I'm prying.

It's a bad habit.

I'm an anthropologist. Nothing kind of
comes with a job.

No, it's okay. It's just that it's been
so long since I sat and talked.

Five years ago, I lost someone.

Someone very close to me.

Do you know what ESS is?

Environment sensitivity syndrome.

Of course.

My wife woke up choking one morning. Her
lungs shut down.

She went into anaphylactic shock.

By the time we got her into the
hospital, she was dead.

My God.

And the doctors?

Well, they said it was ESS.

That Karen literally had an allergic
reaction to the poisons in the air

her.

Oh, I lost it.

I withdrew. I went into deep, deep
depression. I haven't even thought about

you know.

What stopped you?

Molly.

She's with her grandparents now.

When Karen died, I just couldn't...

It's the best that she's with them.

You know, and the terrible thing,
though, is knowing that Karen's death

happen again with Molly.

You want to know what keeps me here?

Hope.

Knowledge that one day Molly might get
off Earth, that she and I could find a

place like Gens, a place that has fresh
air and trees and we'll never look back.

My daughter will not die the same way
that her mother did.

I will see you.

I'll be right there.

We have discovered the reason for the
irregularity in the procedure.

Yes?

The transmission was sent without
corruption.

Never seen after the destination
station.

Kamala arrived on Gend?

The transmission has been received.

But I don't understand.

What about the alarms?

Sir Lloyd said the transmission never
went through.

M.

M. M. M.

M. M. M. M. M. M. M. M.

Therefore, you will balance the
equation.

Wait a minute, do you mean I have to
kill Kamala?

You will balance the equation.

So the jump transmission actually went
through, and now you have to balance the

equation. Like that's going to be a walk
in the park now.

What if I don't do it?

Michael, I know you're angry at me, but
do not joke about it. I'm not!

Just for the sake of argument!

What if I don't agree to kill her?

Then we'll shut down the program and
take their toys home. Do I even need to

tell you that this technology will
liberate our planet?

No.

But are we prepared to get it by any
means necessary at the death of an

woman?

What about the millions that are dying
every year because they're living in

pollution? Philip, I can't believe I'm
even having this conversation with you

after what happened to your own wife.

You leave Karen out of this.

I'm talking about one other person.

That's Kamala.

That is not Kamala.

It is a redundancy, a mistake.

The real Kamala is on Gen.

You tell that to the Kamala drinking tea
in her quarters.

And what about the Kamala that will
return home two years from now?

What are you going to tell her when she
finds a version of herself living in her

house?

Working in her job?

The redundancy elimination rule is there
for a reason. You know this.

We cannot afford to screw this up,
Michael.

One way or the other, we have to kill
Kamal.

If you're not prepared to do it, I will.

Stay away from her. I will deal with
this, but my way.

Is that clear?

Or I'll show the Han in some erratic
behavior that will blow Jack from the

of the water!

Hi.

The shuttle here?

Soon.

Another hour or so.

Actually, Kamala, I wanted to talk to
you about that.

Yes? Are you sure about this?

About going home?

All the time and effort, all the work
you went through, are you sure you're

ready to give it all up?

I can't go through that process again,
Michael.

Kamala, what happened to you was an
accident. It was a fluke.

The jump process is uncomfortable, but I
promise you it's nothing like what you

went through.

How do you know?

Because I've seen jumpers come back
through.

It is uncomfortable, but they're hardly
traumatized by it.

The truth is that the Han had screwed
this one up.

But are you ready to give up this
opportunity because of it?

I mean, you could jump again now or lose
this chance forever.

You promise it won't happen again?

The Han are meticulous. They won't let
it happen again.

What do you say?

Take a step forward toward your new life
or go back to the old one.

Enter chamber.

Michael. It's okay.

I'm here. You can do this.

We're entering chamber.

I don't think I can do this. Yeah, I'll
help you through it.

I'm sorry.

I can't. What's wrong?

The equation must be balanced.

Subject will enter chamber. What does
she mean, equation must be balanced?

You have to get in the chamber, Kamala.

Wait a minute.

What's going on here?

This isn't about me jumping, is it?

The original transmission went through
to Kendo K.

What do you mean? You're a redundancy.

You wanted to get me into the jump
chamber again. We have to finish the

Kill me.

Burn!

Subject will comply! No!

Kamala, listen.

No!

Kamala! You lied to me!

No!

I told you we needed to complete the
process.

Romantics, don't pull back. You know
what you did.

You're right. I'm sorry.

Would you have gotten into the chamber
if I told you the truth?

Of course not.

We need to finish the process, Kamala.

The equation needs to be balanced.

Stop saying that.

If you're going to do this, then at
least call it by what it is.

You need to kill me.

Say it.

I need to kill you.

So I'm just supposed to get back in that
device and be turned into ash?

Forget it.

You knew this was part of the jump
process. Of course, but not like this.

I was supposed to close my eyes here and
open them again, do you remember?

Look, a mistake's been made. I'm sorry
for it, but it's not my fault.

I'm not getting back in that machine.

You signed an agreement. You knew the
risks. Don't give me that contractual

obligation crap here. This is different
and you know it.

I'm not going to do it.

Next shuttle leaves in about an hour,
right?

But at least I'm going to be on it.

Where is she?

I need a moment with Deloyne, Will.

No. Please, wait for me in your
chambers.

I need a word, Deloyne.

I want to talk to you about Kamala
Shastri, the jumper.

No. Yes.

Well, she refuses to return and finish
the process.

Look, can't we just let this one go? I
mean, we made the mistake.

Can't we just... No, you must balance
the equation. It's our primary law.

The consequences are grave.

And the Hanun would pull out if we let
one jumper go.

There are those among the Hanun,
including Lena, who want to deny human

technology. May they, your crude
emotional state, do not support our

Letting the redundancy live is just what
they need to stop us from helping your

species advance.

It is an unforgivable breach of our
protocol. I know how important your

protocols are, but please, Siloam, can't
you help them understand?

I cannot.

I know it is hard for you, Vern, but you
must do this. You must terminate the

redundancy.

Do you understand?

Bye.

Do it quickly, then.

Get up.

Will you kill me? We're getting you off
on the next shuttle.

If we don't have much time, let's go.

The shuttle will be landing soon.

Why are you doing this? We're trying to
sneak you on, but if all else fails,

we'll have to hijack it.

What about the Hun?

They can stop us, but they won't.

Why not?

They're pacifists.

Don't believe in violence in any form.

Truly advanced species.

But, Michael, the program.

I mean, if you get me out of here... Do
you want to die?

No.

Stop arguing with me and do as I say.

I want you to stay in here.

I'll greet the shuttle passengers and
the crew and then come for you.

If all goes well, we'll be able to
smuggle you on board for the return

without anyone seeing you.

T minus five minutes.

Michael!

What do you think you're doing?

Don't get in my way, Will.

For what?

Are you going to shoot me?

Just stay out of my way.

Might be.

So you're going to save one life by
taking another.

This isn't right, Will. She doesn't
deserve to die.

Kamala Shastri is not dying. She's alive
and well and ganned.

You're not... saving Kamala, you are
dooming the rest of us. No.

You know it's true.

I can see it in your eyes. Why are you
doing this?

Because I care about her, Will.

You can't watch another woman that you
care about die.

Don't you understand, Michael, that
Kamala on this station is already dead?

But dead as Karen is.

It's all just a formality now.

It's just inevitable.

It's time you stop this.

But you did what's right.

No. You must.

The Hanan are watching and you know
that.

You let that redundancy leave the
station. You doom us.

You doom your daughter.

Are you going to choose Kamala over
Molly?

Come on.

We've got to go.

What's going on?

The shuttle crew will come on to the
station. Will will warn them about you.

All right, we're going to have to force
our way on to the shuttle as soon as

they open the hood or door.

Okay. My bag.

I'll get it.

It's about 100 meters away.

What is it?

Sorry. No!

Michael!

Don't do this!

Michael, please! Don't do this!

Thank you.

Wow.

It's definitely easier the second time.

Michael, isn't it?

Excuse me?

It's me, Kamala.

You were my job supervisor two years
ago, weren't you?

You were very kind to me.

I'm sorry, that was somebody else.

As we pursue technological advancement,
we should be careful not to abandon our

humanity in the process.

The UK TV premiere of The Outer Limits
Series 7 continues every Monday at 9.
