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

.D. 2193.

my dear.

No.

It began in the future.

A time machine called Trax.

Criminals who vanish.

And a lawman who must pursue into the
past.

Now he's 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.

The captain and I were about to leave
for Los Angeles in pursuit of a

Only one important detail remained to be
settled.

So what's it going to be, Selma? A
raincoat or some blouse? The five -day

forecast for Los Angeles, California,
indicates clear skies and daytime

temperatures of 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

However, weather forecasting in the 20th
century has proved to be highly

inaccurate. I was hoping you could check
a more authoritative source.

Ah, I see.

Scanning.

According to historical records, the
city of Angel will receive five inches

rain in the next seven days.

Maybe I should pack an inflatable leg,
friend.

I think we found our guide.

Darian Lambert?

Jefferson McCoy, ISA. We'd like you to
come along with us.

What's this all about?

It's a matter of internal security.

Do you have a warrant?

Just step into the car.

I don't think... Wait!

Mr. Lambert.

As a personal favor, won't you please
come with us?

You tell me what this is all about.

Agent Giles wants to see you.

Agent Giles?

Tulsa Giles?

They made you a federal agent?

Isn't this cool?

I even have a batch of guns.

You want to see them?

Some of the time.

Thanks, guys. I owe you one.

Thanks, guys.

I wanted you to be the first to know.

since you were the one who inspired me
to do it. Do what?

Take another run at the ISA.

Wait a minute. Let me get this straight.
You sent two ISA agents to kidnap me so

you could tell me you got a new job?

It wasn't exactly a kidnapping.

You couldn't use the phone? I did call.
Lots of times, but you're never home.

Besides, I thought this might be more
fun.

Fun? Fun?

Tulsa, you could have got somebody
killed.

Okay, okay, okay. Listen, I am sorry
about the goon squad, but...

I really needed to see you. And it
wasn't just to tell you about my good

I need a favor.

What kind of favor?

I want you to marry me.

You're right.

That's a good punchline. Now, what's the
joke?

Relax, Lambert. I'm not talking about
the real thing.

Just a reasonable facsimile.

You see, I have been investigating this
housing development down in Florida

called Happy Valley.

There's some really weird stuff going on
down there.

What do you mean by weird?

Oh, well, like in the last couple of
years, almost 20 homeowners have just

packed their bags and walked away.

Maybe they just decided they didn't like
the neighborhood.

No way. It's your basic suburban
paradise.

And then, oh, and then...

weeks ago this lady goes running out of
her house in the middle of the night

screaming fire what's so weird about
that there wasn't any fire but she's so

freaked she drives into a parked car
coincidence not likely

when she'll throw this chicken to the
mix veronica barkley

sales manager prosecuted three times for
land fraud convicted

This still seems like a local matter.
Where's the ISA from?

Veronica Barkley is peddling federally
insured home loans, but the FHA has

heard of Happy Valley.

Tulsa, this is all very interesting, but
what does it have to do with getting

married?

Oh, well, um, Happy Valley is a family
community.

I need somebody to play my loving hubby.

Really.

But I was just about to leave town.

But I promise it will only take one day
for us to fly down there, check it out,

and split.

Why don't you just get one of the guys
from the gun squad to do it? Because

investigation isn't exactly official.

What?

I'm trying to make a name for myself.

So why pick on me?

Because we're a great team.

Don't you forget what we did to Charlie
Burke.

Tulsa, you know how much I appreciate
what you did for me.

But...

Big D, did I say no to you that night
you climbed in through my bedroom

I kind of think you owe me.

Okay.

One day. I'll give you 24 hours, but
that's it.

Yes!

Just remember, this is my gig.

I plan to let you do all the talking.

Hi. Hi. Do you have any problems finding
things?

I really think you'll like it.

We call this model the honeymoon house
because it's completely set up with

everything a young couple would need
just starting out in life.

You mean the furniture is included?
Everything is included.

The towels in the bathroom.

Oh, wow, that is great, because we don't
have anything except two fish forks and

some pasta bowls.

And the price is $250 ,000.

Ooh, that's a little steep.

I think you'll change your mind once you
hear the term.

You see, Happy Valley is a very buyer
-friendly community.

We're offering FHA loans at very
reasonable terms.

Such as?

$50 ,000 down.

A little steep, yes.

But consider this.

30 years.

No points mortgage.

Fixed at 2%. Did you say 2 %?

Mm -hmm. Wow, 2%. That's incredible.

Excuse me, Veronica, would you mind if I
had a word with my lovely wife? Oh, no.

You take as long as you need.

I'll be in my sales office waiting.

Thank you.

So, are you going to buy this house?

Get real. I'm not going to buy it. You
are.

Are you out of your mind?

How are we going to bust these bums if
we chicken out now?

What do you think I'm going to get this
money?

I saw the balance in your D .C. checking
account.

Your what? Don't forget, I crunched
numbers for the G .F .O. for ten years.

give me a high -powered computer and a
couple minutes to spare of time, I can

give you anybody's account balance in
the country.

Well, that's great, but the money in my
account is reserved for investigations

authorized by my superiors.

Think of it as an advance.

You'll get it back as soon as I break
the case.

If you...

Piece of cake.

Well, thank you, Jane. I believe that
completes the transaction.

Well, here we are, Mr. and Mrs. Lambert.

Congratulations. I'm sure you'll be very
happy here at Happy Valley.

Oh, by the way, we have a tradition
here.

A barbecue in the rec area to welcome
new owners.

Fun starts at 7 o 'clock. Sharp.

Oh, wow. Thanks.

Done?

Signed, sealed, delivered.

Which unit did they buy?

221 Shadybrook Lane.

What a pity.

They seemed like such a happy young
couple.

Hey, an investigation like this takes
time. You have to win people's

Look at, uh, what's his name?

Who? That big -time spy. You know, um,
the one in the British Secret Service.

Kim Philby?

Right, him.

He spent 25 years building his cover
before he even started feeding secrets

the Russians.

Look, Tulsa, honey, this is not the Cold
War I signed on for one day.

And I'm out of here.

I don't know, 24 hours. You promised me
a full 24 hours. I think I've done

enough. I floated you a $50 ,000 loan, I
signed a 30 -year mortgage, and now I'm

leaving.

Oh, hi.

You must be the new owners.

Hi, I'm Darian Lambert, and this is my
wife.

Uh, Teresa.

Hi.

It's so nice to have neighbors again.

It's been really lonely down here at
this end of the street ever since the

previous owners moved out.

Oh, what did you say your name was?

Oh, I forgot to introduce myself.

I'm Alice Delaney.

He doesn't like to be alone in the house
at night.

It makes him nervous.

Me too.

I hate a dark house.

Well, I'd better get home.

Wouldn't want to upset Joe.

Oh, I'll see you at the barbecue.

Whoa. Major burnout.

She's afraid of her own shadow.

He's got the night sweats. What was
that?

Don't think it's a coincidence.

Oh, come on, Lambert. You're not really
going to make me go to the weenie roast

alone.

And it was just from then that Darian
fell headfirst into the pitchfork.

He spent the rest of the reception
wearing a

bathtub.

It was a total bummer. I think our man's
entitled to enjoy his own wedding.

After all, it happens only once.

Oh.

Oh, nice touch, Lambert. The Fidelity
Inc. was very convincing.

Does anybody need a drink?

What is it, Selma?

Captain, I took the liberty of scanning
the real estate agreement.

Are you aware it is not a conventional
20th century mortgage?

Selma, I wouldn't have the vaguest idea
of what a conventional 20th century

mortgage looked like.

The document you signed is called a
contract for deed.

In this type of agreement, the real
estate transfer does not occur until all

terms and conditions... Selma, could you
give it to me in 25 words or less,

please?

I believe I have discovered, Slank Rose.

A loophole.

A loophole?

According to this document, Happy Valley
homeowners must occupy the property for

24 months.

And if they don't? They're in breach of
contract. Since no equity is accrued,

the down payment would be forfeit to
Happy Valley Estates.

Tulsa said that 20 homeowners packed up
and moved out. Creating a net profit of

$1 million.

Well...

The real estate business may be slumping
everywhere else, but it's certainly

booming here in Happy Valley.

And what is on the menu now?

Real chicken.

Marinated in fresh lime.

Garnished with cilantro.

Oh, Julius, you're a man of many
talents.

I look forward to these neighborhood
gatherings.

It allows me to enjoy the fruits of my
labor.

Our newlyweds seem to be enjoying
themselves.

For the moment.

What about Joe Delaney?

He should be receiving his regular dose.

How long have you lived here?

Oh, Joe and I celebrate our second
anniversary at Happy Valley one week

tomorrow. Oh, that's wonderful.

By the way, where is Joe?

Oh, well, he likes to take a nap before
dinner.

Come on out.

Stay here.

The enemy's out of range. Stand down
your weapon.

Who the hell are you?

Commanding officer of this detail
soldier. Now stand down your weapon.

You're lying.

Know a goop when I see one

Joe was in and out of his mind for
weeks.

Ever since Melissa Wainwright died.

Wainwright? Isn't that the woman who
thought her house was on fire?

It was horrible.

Joe and I saw the whole thing.

How old did you know Melissa?

We used to have coffee every morning.

But then she started doing strange
things and she was frightened all the

Just like Joe.

Her husband, he couldn't stand it
anymore, and he just packed up and moved

two days before she died.

I wish we'd never come here.

No one's really happy at Happy Valley.

Come on, Alice, I'll drive you to the
hospital.

Selma, did you manage to run a medical
scan on Joe Delaney before the police

arrived? Affirmative, Captain.

What did you find?

Extensive tissue damage to the
subcortical region of the brain,

by some form of electrolysis.

Electrolysis?

Possible beta -gamma infusion.

Wait a minute, Selma. Beta -gamma
electrolytes weren't synthesized until

22nd century.

Yes, Captain.

I am aware of that.

Has it occurred to you that we might
both have been killed?

I will admit, there are certain risks
involved in the process.

But every mistake brings us closer to
finding the perfect equation.

Well, I hope you find it soon, Julius,
because I'm not going to risk my life

a lousy million bucks.

Why is it you always insist on taking
the short view?

You know perfectly well that Happy
Valley is a prototype.

When we iron out the flaws in the
system, the possibilities are endless.

Real estate is just the tip of the
iceberg.

Think of the unlimited money and power
in controlling people's thoughts.

CEOs,

congressmen. You know, that's all very
inspiring, Julius.

Right now, we have to decide.

I'm going to tell the press when they
descend upon me tomorrow morning.

Forget the press.

We've got a more immediate problem to
discuss.

What? The newlyweds.

How much do you know about them?

Katie Feldman?

She's a housewife.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure, Julius. The bank verified
their check.

I want you to delve deeper.

Especially into Mr. Lambert.

Why?

Because... I think he may be a
policeman.

A cop?

No more.

He was decidedly professional in the way
he handled Delaney.

Besides...

Used a style of martial arts that I've
seen before.

My guess is we are under surveillance.

Oh, my God.

In any event, the honeymoon is very
definitely over.

Oh, man.

I knew there was some weird stuff going
on down here, but this, we are talking

wackos on parade.

Tulsa, you were right all along. None of
this is a coincidence.

It's a highly developed, very effective
real estate scam.

So, did you figure it out?

They're driving people out of their
homes by driving them out of their

Whoa, that's heavy.

So, you think it's some kind of
psychedelic mind -bending?

I haven't figured out exactly how
they're doing it, but I do know that

people are very dangerous.

Right. That's why we've got to find them
and stop them cold.

Not we.

Me. This is no place for rookies.

You're pulling rank on me?

I want you in the car and out of here as
fast as you can go.

Uh -uh. No way.

Tulsa, if our cover hasn't been blown
already, it will be soon. At least

Veronica, whoever she's working with.

They're desperate now.

I don't want to see you get hurt.

But this is my case.

I've dreamt about this for years. I am
not giving it up.

Okay.

We both stay.

You will get some sleep.

We both need some sleep.

Come on.

I'm going to stand guard down here.

Standing guard?

Are you serious?

Okay, Julius, I re -ran the credit check
on the newlyweds.

Their entire history is a fake.

Entered into the system less than a week
ago.

What a surprise.

What did you find?

Well, nothing on Lambert, but the
blushing bride used her own social

number. She's a problem.

Her name's Tulsi Giles, and she works
for the ISA.

I think it's time we put our newlyweds
on the accelerator program.

Captain,

I have scanned all entries relating to
gamma technology.

Did you find anything useful?

Yes, Captain.

Vida gamma infusion was used extensively
in a 22nd century psychiatric treatment

known as accelerated dream therapy, also
called ADT.

ADT.

Of course.

Dr. Julius Rathenberg's shortcut to
complete mental health.

I remember reading about this quite
years ago.

Rathenberg used electrolysis to heighten
dream states.

He believed this would shorten the
lengthy process of Freudian analysis.

Unfortunately, his theory backfired.

Yes. His patients experienced violent
nightmares and terrifying

Eventually, some of them died.

Wait a minute, Suma. Is there a fugitive
warrant outstanding on Julius

Rathenberg? Yes, Captain, there is.

I'm only getting one wave back from the
bedroom.

Apparently, the loving husband has not
yet retired for the night.

Then where is he?

Miss Giles, on the other hand, is right
where we want her.

She's just entering REM sleep.

A perfect moment to enhance her dreams.

Have you got a mugshot?

Affirmative, Captain.

Let's take a look at him.

Project mode.

My compliments to the chef.

After the death of his fifth patient,
Rathenberg was prosecuted for murder. He

was sentenced to life in prison but
disappeared shortly thereafter.

So Julius Rathenberg travels to the 20th
century, trades in his Hippocratic Oath

for a real estate license, uses ADT to
ensure a high profit margin.

Ironic, isn't it?

What is?

Julius Rothenberg has turned the
American dream into a hideous nightmare.

Darian?

She's beginning to spike.

It's fancy time.

Tulsa

The knife you're holding in your hand.

Tulsa.

You're having a nightmare.

Okay?

It's just a bad dream.

No.

I'm wide awake.

The signal's gone flat.

Is she dead?

Unfortunately not.

My worst suspicions have just been
confirmed.

Miss Giles has just been hit by a PPT
pellet.

A what?

Never got to her, didn't he?

Yes, Captain.

When we entered the bedroom, 40 ,000
megahertz of Vida gamma waves were

emanating from the smoke detectors in
the ceiling.

Will she be all right?

Permanent damage only occurs after
prolonged exposure.

Thank God.

We've got to find Rathenberg. Now, he
must be operating from some kind of

control center nearby.

Captain, I believe I may be able to
assist you in locating him. Please take

out of your pocket.

Good, Captain. Now, take me to the
bedroom.

Whatever you say, Selma.

No wonder you couldn't get any
information on Darian Lambert.

He's a cop from the 22nd century.

From the 22nd century? Julius, what are
you talking about?

He catches me, he'll send me back.

The system works both ways. Back?

Julius, back where?

To the future.

All right.

What now?

I have been transmitting Miss Giles'
brainwave pattern, Captain.

Dr. Rappenberg will soon bombard me with
gamma waves.

I'm getting a pattern again on Miss
Giles.

She's just gone back to sleep.

And Darian Lambert is with her in the
bedroom.

Perfect.

Now I can get them both.

I thought gamma rays were invisible.

The arc you are witnessing is created by
the collision between his transmission

and the one I am sending.

Are your circuits in danger?

No, Captain.

I'm currently tracing the gamma waves
back to their source.

Ah, here we are.

You located the control center?

37 degrees due east and one story down.

I believe that would locate it directly
below the sales office.

Good work, Selma. Give me five minutes,
then reverse wave function.

Beginning countdown.

I've had the worst nightmare.

It's like a major freakout.

Let me guess, someone was chasing you
and they look like me.

Yeah, but how... They turned their
device on you. Now let's go.

We have to stop them before they hurt
somebody else.

Okay. Okay?

Oh, yeah.

I'm going to look for another way in. I
want you to stand guard.

Stand guard?

I need you to cover me, partner.

Partner? I like that.

Oh, wait.

Can I have my gun back?

Only if you promise not to shoot me with
it.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Reversing polarity.

Juliet, what's wrong with you?

Julius, you look as if you've seen a
ghost.

How's it feel to be poisoned by your own
medicine?

You reversed the wave function.

Computers have come a long way since you
left the 22nd century.

Who are you?

Captain Barry Robert, fugitive retrieval
section.

No, you're not.

You're a figment of my imagination.

You'll soon go away.

Don't count on it.

Say goodnight, Julius.

It's time to retire.

Selma, can you hear me?

Yes, Captain. I've established a
communication link through the

system. Can you give me a transmission
tone?

Stand by.

Freeze! Federal agent.

Always wanted to say that.

Got to work fast, Selma.

Can you overload the weight function and
destroy this stuff before the police

arrive? Affirmative, Captain.

Good. Give me ten seconds to get out of
here.

Ten seconds and counting.

Good work, Agent Giles.

I'll make sure your supervisor hears
about this first thing in the morning.

Thank you, sir.

We did it, didn't we, partner? We busted
the bad guy.

No, you did it, Tulsa.

It's your investigation and your collar.

I think I'll get a promotion.

You certainly deserve it.

Yeah, well, a little help from my
friends.

Well, let's not forget that you owe me
$50 ,000.

Oh, hey, you know, we never did get to
try out that king -size bed.

Bummer.

So, uh, what do we do now?

There's a little motel up the road.

Hey, where are you going?

Back to the house.

What for?

to get my credit card.
