These are the journals of Darian
Lambert, Captain, Fugitive Retrieval

.D.

2193.

Captain, I have detected an urgent
message from space.

Selma, those monsters are from the
ocean, not space.

I do not refer to your television show,
Captain. I have been receiving an actual

transmission from space.

Visual mode, Selma.

What are you receiving? A signal from
the space shuttle? A satellite?

No, Captain. It is a binary code unique
to the Procardians.

The Procardians?

That doesn't make any sense.

They won't communicate with Earth until
2142.

I have no explanation, Captain, but I am
receiving a prokaryote distress signal.

Can you locate it?

I can angulate the signal to within five
kilometers.

Projection rod.

Is it going to land?

From the urgency of the transmission, it
will be an unscheduled landing.

I think we should start a little bit
earlier tomorrow.

Why?

I'm supposed to be relaxed.

Getting no sleep ain't relaxed.

Hey, Bubba, you want to sleep?

There's one way to find out.

Reach.

Don't move or I'll kill you. Keith, take
it easy. You take it easy.

Whatever you are, you better stop.

This will blow a hole in the size of
your head.

It began in the future.

A time machine called Trax.

Criminals who vanish.

And a lawman who must pursue into the
past.

Now he is among us.

A special breed of man.

He has one weapon and a computer named
Selma. Good morning, Captain Lambert.

With her, he will travel through our
world.

Searching for fugitives from his own.

Knowing he cannot go home until he has
found them all.

His name is Darian Lambert. And this is
his story.

I called a friend of mine who is a
neurological expert at Duke.

Sent him all the x -rays, EEGs and such.

But he can't figure it out either.

Nobody's ever seen anything like this.

There has to be something you can do,
Mike.

As long as he's stable, the best thing
we can do is wait.

Hopefully, he'll come out of his coma on
his own.

Okay.

Start organizing the search party.

I want everybody in town out there
looking for that thing.

And tell them to bring their guns.

You got it, Sheriff. We're on it.

Come on, little brother.

I need you here.

Captain! May I point out that you have
been exceeding the legal speed limit for

eight hours?

Would it not be wise to slow down?

I remember my study of Procardian
transmissions.

They're peaceful and gentle.

What happens if someone not so friendly
comes across them before we do?

You are concerned for their safety?

Exactly.

If they're still alive.

Good luck.

Doesn't look good, gentlemen.

Call up your archive file on Smith
Mountain.

We're going to need a cover story for
these people.

a good cup of coffee.

Seems to be a lot of excitement going on
outside.

Don't mind my daughter.

She means well.

She just can't talk.

Never has.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It ain't your fault.

What can I get you?

What's good?

Grits?

Grits? Okay, I'll have one.

Where are you going?

To join the sheriff on the search party.

You mind if I ask you what you're
searching for?

A lost child or something?

No, nothing like that.

Then what?

Well, it seems that somebody or
something almost killed the sheriff's

last night up in Beaver Woods.

What do you mean, somebody or something?

Say, who are you?

Oh, uh, Dan Blackwell.

Roy Blackwell, he's my uncle.

Oh, dear.

Afraid I got bad news for you, son.
You're...

Uncle passed on last month.

Oh, no.

He was a good man.

Lived a long life.

Actually, I never met him.

Well, listen, son, I'd love to spend the
time talking to you about your uncle,

but right now I've got to get out there.

Could you use another set of eyes?

Sure, if you want to come along.

Yeah, let's go.

I'll take a rain check on that grit.

Okay, move out.

And remember, this creature is
dangerous.

If it raises its hand to you like this,
do not hesitate to shoot.

Otherwise, you could end up like my
brother.

All right, let's go.

Yes, sir.

Hey, Ralph.

Hey, Jake.

I'd like you to meet Dan Blackwell. He's
Roy's nephew.

Nice to meet you. How you doing? Your
uncle was a good man.

Thank you.

Any idea what caused this?

You wouldn't believe me if I told you.

Jake!

Excuse me.

I'm a little busy.

Yeah, I'm coming with you.

So, there's nothing left.

Procardium crafts are programmed to
vaporize after impact.

We'd better find that Procardium before
these people do.

Any ideas?

Yes, Captain.

I'm detecting an unusual alpha wave
fluctuation approximately 425 meters

bearing 35 degrees.

Which way, Selma?

Look up, Captain.

Oh, my God.

Greetings.

I won't hurt you.

Selma, he's just a boy.

Are you injured?

Um... May I try, Captain?

My friend will now appear.

Don't be frightened.

Visual mode, Selma.

He is asking

who we are, Captain.

You speak for Cardian?

Yes. What shall I tell him?

Tell him we know where he comes from and
that we are friends.

He says he understands English.

How?

I have been studying humans for many
years and have learned the language.

However, he does not have the vocal
anatomy to form the sounds required to

the language.

I'm Darien Lambert, and this is Selma.

We don't have much time.

You are in a great deal of danger.

Now, can you climb down that tree?

Voice mode.

Selma, project a high -intensity sound
into the woods that way.

Bearing 260 degrees, Captain.
Transmitting.

It's okay.

They're gone.

Okay?

Come on down and let's get the heck out
of Dodge.

Captain, we are not in Dodge.

We are in Smith Mountain, North
Carolina.

Cowboy talk, Selma.

Come on down.

Here, put these on.

He does not understand the purpose of
covering his body with artificial skin.

You understand the concept of
camouflage?

Blending in.

Captain, he asks where we are going.

I don't know.

As far away from here as we can get.

He doesn't want to go.

You have no choice.

We have to get out of here.

I'm not sure that I understand how he
accomplished it, but I believe our

caused the sudden termination of forward
motion.

He almost killed us.

Why did you do that?

He apologizes. He did not intend to hurt
anyone, but he cannot leave this place.

Why?

He's looking for his mate.

His mate?

That's who he came for.

How did she get here?

On an earlier exploration, she became
separated from the group and had

to be left behind.

Wait a minute. Are you telling me this
is the second landing of Picardians that

we haven't heard about?

Apparently so, Captain.

Okay. Okay, okay. Let's deal with one
problem at a time.

Understand this. We will look for your
mate later.

But right now, you have to get to
safety.

He said he will not leave Smith Mountain
without her.

Visual mode, Selma.

Hold it.

Hold on a minute.

Well, if I'm going to help you, you're
going to need to answer some questions.

Like, um... What do I call you?

His name is not translatable, Captain,
and the human tongue cannot approximate

it. He suggests you give him a name for
the duration of his stay on Earth.

Okay.

What's it going to be?

Sam, Bill, David? He likes Bill.

Bill it is.

Now, Bill, is there anyone from
Procardia who's coming to look for you?

No, Captain.

No one on Procardia knows he came.

Doesn't he have to... Find a flight plan
or something like that? He couldn't.

Travel to Earth has been forbidden.

Procarians consider humans too violent
and primitive at this time.

I guess we advance enough to satisfy
them in the next 150 years.

He asks what you meant by that.

Never mind. Did you attack the sheriff's
brother?

He did not intend to hurt the man.

His TMTI discharged for self
-preservation.

TMTI.

Transitory molecular transfer inhibitor.
It is triggered in the procardion

involuntarily, much like human
adrenaline.

How is it triggered?

The sheriff's brother was pointing a
rifle at him.

So it was self -defense.

Not that anyone in this town is going to
believe it.

He asks if we can look for his mate now.

You better relax, Bill. You're liable to
get lynched.

He would prefer to...

To die than to live without his mate.

All right.

I'll tell you what I'm going to do.

I'll look for her, I'll find her, and
I'll bring her to you.

But you have to stay here out of sight.

Good boy.

Now, give me a description of her.

Where she will die.

There she is, wonderful.

Warm and generous, selfless and caring.

Phil, Phil, not that kind of
description.

Tell me what she looks like.

He doesn't know.

He doesn't know?

Procarians don't age as humans do.

Instead, they develop in spurts. At each
change, they take on an entirely new

look.

Bill's mate was ready for change when
she came here. The fear and stress of

being left behind would certainly have
triggered it. Great.

I don't know what she looks like, where
she is, or even if she's still alive.

What do we know?

She's young.

She glows if she's frightened.

Anything else?

Of course.

Why didn't I realize this sooner?

She doesn't talk.

Bill, stay here.

Don't open the door for anybody. Do you
understand?

I'd like to take you up on that grid.

I'm a little busy right now.

What about your daughter?

Can she help out?

She's out delivering sandwiches to the
church party.

Sweet girl.

And she's been unable to talk since she
was born?

I'm not sure.

You're not sure?

Why are you asking all these questions
all of a sudden?

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to find out more about
your daughter.

What? I thought maybe I could help her.

I'm a speech pathologist.

And you might be able to help Rachel?

Maybe. I need to find out some more
about her. I may need to examine her.

Do you have any other relatives with
Rachel's condition?

Viv, honey, why don't you go down to the
cellar and get us some more fresh eggs?

Yeah. Vivian don't like to talk about
this.

But Rachel is not our blood kin.

We adopted her about two years ago.

There's nothing to be so edgy about.

Yeah.

Well, you see, there was another little
girl.

And her name was Rachel, too.

Only she died at birth.

And that door is apart.

I'm sorry.

When we found that lost child, we took
her as a gift from God, a replacement

our own Rachel.

What do you mean you found her?

She came wandering into town one day out
of the woods.

She wasn't wearing no clothes.

She couldn't speak.

She couldn't write nothing.

Do you know where she came from?

No.

No. Sheriff looked into it, but he
couldn't find any reports of any missing

children.

And the county, why, they wanted to put
her in an institution. They figured she

was retarded.

But me and Vivian, we knew that she
was... as smart as the rest of them.

Maybe even smarter.

So you think you can help her, huh?

I don't know.

When can I see her?

Well, she'll be back in a bit. Tell you
what, why don't you come back here about

8 o 'clock?

We'll be closing up then.

I'll be here.

Oh, and by the way, you be very careful
about what you say about Rachel in front

of her mama.

Because as far as Vivian is concerned,
she is our original daughter sent down

to us by God.

She's working at a coffee shop.

She's a little older than you remember.

Captain, he wants you to take him to her
immediately. No, no. Bad idea.

We wait until the coffee shop closes.

Then we go when there aren't people
there who can see you.

He refuses to wait.

Why? You've waited this long. When's a
few more hours going to hurt?

Bill, come back here.

Bill.

Bill.

Think about her for a minute.

It's going to be a big shock to you.

You're going to have to have patience.

Trust me.

She'll be there tonight.

Stop acting like a child!

He said he's going to find her himself.

I can't let you do that.

It's too dangerous for you out there.

Captain, can you hear me?

Can I help you?

We want that at the table or the
counter.

We got plenty of room at both.

Boy, you can't go back there.

Rachel? What are you doing?

Rachel's in there.

Come on. Come on, go get him.

This

is

the sheriff. Frankie, I need a roadblock
near the fork on 32.

Captain, I must take the initiative.

Attempting radical therapy.

No, no!

No, no, no!

Oh,

Captain.

It worked.

Okay, get ready. Here it comes.

Stop!

It just ran the roadblock. It turned up
under the dirt road.

Which way did they go, Selma?

Bearing 2 -9 -0.

Captain, may I point out that you are in
a severely weakened state, and the

sheriff has at least 20 armed men.

Well, how am I going to help Bill?

A stratagem would be in order.

Okay,

okay, wait a minute.

How did you wake me up?

The field Bill used on you was modulated
to reduce molecular damage.

Apparently, he did not want to hurt you.

Do you understand how it works?

It is probable that the energy field
inhibits transfer of atoms between

molecules, obstructing chemical or
electrical response.

Stop talking technical.

It causes a coma.

Why didn't you say so in the first
place?

what we have to do now.

Visual mode, someone.

It's not working.

It seems he was subjected to a more
violent charge.

I cannot generate sufficient voltage to
revive him.

This is a fibrillator. It might do the
job.

Yes, Captain, it might. I suggest
turning the voltage to the maximum

Now, hold the paddles in the air on
either side of his head.

The paddles must be within seven
centimeters of his head, but not

got it.

Be ready for a jolt between the paddles
when I activate them.

Let's try it again.

All right, people, pan out. They can't

go far.

Now, remember, he has a hostage with
him.

We do not want Rachel Johnson to get
hurt.

So no fast moves This time captain try
reversing the polarity

He's

coming around some

Jake, is it true?

Right so, Ralph. It's not, Rachel. So
what are you going to do?

Jake, Jake, you've got to promise me you
won't do nothing until she's safe.

Don't worry. We'll wait until she's a
safe distance from him.

Then what?

Then we'll kill him.

Real slow.

My Lord, what kind of power she got over
her.

Come to me, sugar.

You'd think he's got her under some kind
of spell.

I don't know what any more than you do.

Jake, don't.

I don't know if you can understand me,
mister, but that man you near killed

yesterday was my brother.

Now you let her go.

Or I'll shoot.

Don't, Bill!

Here's your brother, Jake.

Keep him covered.

You all right?

Still pretty stiff.

He saved my life.

Who the hell are you, mister?

My name is Darian Lambert. I work for
the government.

I'm here to protect these people.

What part of the government?

An organization called CETA.

Hey, I heard of them.

They listen for space signals from
aliens.

This man is from Procardia.

It's a planet in an ex -solar system,
and he means you no harm.

Yeah? Well, how about what he did to my
brother?

He only intended to stun him long enough
to get away.

Besides, Key's fine.

No harm, no foul, right?

Are you sure you're okay?

All right.

Put him away, boys.

What has he done to my girl?

Now, you tell him to let our girl go.

I'm sorry, sir. I can't do that.

What do you mean you can't do that?

Because she's the reason he came here in
the first place.

I don't follow you.

The girl you call Rachel is an alien who
was left behind from a previous

expedition. No.

She's his mate.

That's not true.

She's a human being just like you and
me.

I'm sorry, ma 'am.

She's our little girl.

Viv, honey, you take a look for
yourself. It's true.

No.

She's saying thank you for taking such
good care of her.

Do you really want to go with her?

That man.

What's going to happen to them?

I'm going to take them to a place where
they can contact their own people.

I always knew that someday some boy's
going to come by here looking for her

hand.

But who could have foreseen this?

Take good care of my girl, now, you hear
me?

I... love... you.

I love you too, baby.

God bless you both.

Listen, folks.

I know you're all going to want to talk
about this.

It'll be hard not to.

But please, for your own good, forget
all that you've seen here today.

My agency will disavow any knowledge of
it.

And I think you can understand why.

I actually think I'm starting to
understand some of your language.

You asked me who I am.

What does that mean?

I didn't quite catch that one.

Visual mode, Selma.

Translate? He asks which planet we are
from.

We're from Earth.

Thank you.

What did he say?

He observed that I am much more advanced
than other computers.

He asked that we explain.

Have your scientists developed time
travel technology?

No,

it is thought to be impossible.

He asks if we are from the future.

He asks if you meant it when you said
you would take them to meet their own

people. Yes, I meant it.

He asks how.

A good question, Captain.

The Picardians were about to arrive when
we left our time, right?

Ah.

So we transport Bill and Rachel to 2194.

Rachel said that all their friends and
relatives will be dead in 2194.

You'll never see your friends and
relatives again if you stay here.

At least in the future, you can live
with your own people.

And maybe even someday you can go home.

you both have a bright future

you won't feel any pain

you're

welcome have a good trip

Transmission tone.

Selma, you'd better place a long ad in
the Washington Post for the chief.

Those two are going to take some
explaining.
