Original subtitles

Believe me, it's strange out here with a capital S. I can't discuss it without a

tempested line, but T wants a full beta scan and Rankin's Stimplex done.

Soil samples you dug up in the Amazon rainforest?

Not just any rainforest.

This section was treated.

Sulfate. And the test went south.

We're shipping two separate holes full of samples we isolated.

Just get us the results ASAP before...

Thank you.

It will never be the same.

So, are you enjoying your busman's holiday?

My busman's what?

Your busman's holiday. Have you never heard that phrase before?

No. What's that mean?

Well, okay, it's like when...

A bus driver, he drives a bus all year long, and then he gets a two -week

vacation, and the first thing he does is go take a bus somewhere.

I'm not taking a bus anywhere.

No, I meant that you... I know what you meant, but just because

I want to spend my day off at the water where I work doesn't mean I'm taking a

busman's holiday.

I just love it here. I mean, look at this, beautiful girls.

Beautiful girls.

You know.

Beautiful girls.

Oh, Mitch.

Oh, these are the best.

Let's do this.

Fortunes? Oh, come on. You don't believe in that stuff, do you?

I don't believe in it, but it's fun.

No, no, no. The whole thing's funny.

Well, listen. It's your day off. You should have some fun. No, no. I don't

to know my fortune. I just want to have my cappuccino. Okay.

My cappuccino is in the trash can.

Oh, it's dark in here and spooky. Oh, come on. I don't want to go in here. Oh,

come on. I don't want to go in. Go. No, I'm not going in. Mitch. No. Hey.

Oh, wait. I told you. Look at this. Complete ripoff. Complete phony. It is

Look at this. This place is great.

Oh, it brings back so many memories.

All right. Get this over. I'm going to find the fat lady with the Billy Lugosi

accent. Mitch, I owe you one.

And I will collect.

Very funny. I know it's not very funny, but come on, get the hell out of here.

It's my only day off. There's nobody here.

Well, okay, then let me do your fortune.

Oh, please.

Okay, okay, go, go, go.

Thank you. You're welcome.

The woman that lived down the street from me when I was little, she taught me

how to do it. Okay? Okay. Okay.

Ready? Ready. Okay.

Oh, the death card.

Shore ports are crimped in my day off.

Yeah. Well, it doesn't mean death.

It means inexorable forces.

Being in the path of sweeping change or being caught in the inescapable.

And the lady down the street shot you all this? Hmm.

Hmm.

Is this where I come to get my fortune read?

Uh, no, no, no. You don't understand. We're not, uh... Mitch.

Please, you have to help me.

It's important.

You're an actress.

Ryan! No, no, don't stop her. It's true.

I am an actress. And I'm up for this really big part in Fish Monster 3.

Yeah, and...

You recently lost a part that was equally important to you. Yes.

I lost it to Bitsy May.

Who was sleeping with the producer?

Yes.

How can you be so accurate?

You think I'll get the part?

Do you see Fish Monster in my future?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You know, it's not fair. You shouldn't play with people like that.

I wasn't playing with her.

It's like I had this feeling come over me, and I know that everything I told

is going to come true.

That was the weirdest thing. I've never felt like that before.

It is because you are one of the chosen.

The chosen.

Yes, the seers, the anointed ones.

You must be the fortune teller.

I am Wahote, the guide.

You will see your own

future through there, through the vortex, if you have the courage.

The courage is not easily found except within the heart.

We have courage. No, we don't have the courage.

Yes, we do have courage. No, we don't have the courage.

We have courage. We don't. It's my day off. I'm not courageous. You're

courageous on your day off. I'm not saving anyone today.

faith in the younger generation. Yeah, right. Look, it's my day off. I don't

want to spend it in a cave.

Well, here's your sense of adventure.

Ooh, spooky.

Yeah, right.

Well, now what do you charge us for this?

Probably charge us to get out.

Sit down.

All right.

Come, see your future.

I saw the future yesterday and I... You want to see the future?

Yes, come on.

Is it me, or do you see that?

Mitch! Where are you?

No, I... Yeah.

I see it.

It's incredible. It looks like...

She or... I'm in trouble.

to abandon anybody, much less you.

You didn't abandon me. The whole thing is manipulation.

You go in there, you give the guy 20 bucks, he shows you a video where you're

going to die. Why? So you spend another 20 bucks to make sure you don't die. The

people out there are going to believe that type of thing. Okay, okay.

Okay, what?

Well, it was a scam, and you said that, all right? Yeah, right, right. But I

still would like to know how he did it. I mean, you know, he used one of those

little wacky videotape things like they use in the movies. And Sylvester

Stallone is hanging from the mountain.

Yeah, that's fine.

Fine is fine, but they start talking about death.

It's a whole different ballgame. Okay.

Okay. It was a dirty, dirty trick and a scam, and I'm sorry I made you go in

there. This is L .A., Mitch. You know people. Anybody will do anything in this

town for a buck. Doesn't make it right. No, no, no. Okay, that's better.

What? And they were farming?

And what about this dirt?

You see what I... Do you have a name of your guy?

Do you have a name of the ship?

God.

Okay, okay. Yeah.

All right, fine. Bye.

Wonderful. My only day off, I get a call from Teague. Yeah, all the way from

South America.

South America?

20 -minute cell phone call from South America? Just a guess.

Do you have any idea how much that costs?

Oh, this cannot be happening.

No, I have no idea.

Apparently, this is important. He wants us to go to San Pedro and meet one of

his guys.

Today? Yeah. No way. I'm not going to San Pedro. It's my only day off.

Matt, you can have the day off tomorrow.

Isn't that weird that that fortune teller lady said that I was going to be

ship soon, and now Teague has called us and wants us to go get on a ship?

If you're going on a cruise, take me with you, please.

You okay? Did you see that?

Just missed me. No, uh -uh.

You went right through it.

Like it wasn't even there.

That's impossible.

What is going on?

I don't know.

You have seen the future.

Yeah. What does that mean?

You have entered the vortex.

And you've become your future.

What the hell is going on?

I don't understand.

Those people look exactly like us.

It is because they are in the world of the living.

Oh, and we're not.

Okay, look.

Whatever trance we're in, why don't you just wake us up, take us back to the

Flim Flam studio, and we'll pay you 20 bucks and we'll be on our way, okay?

When you enter the vortex, you take on the form of the ghost spirit.

Right. So now we're ghosts.

Wait a minute.

I'm going to get my coat. Teague, is this something about a refrigerated

Where is this guy?

There's supposed to be a guard here.

Weird.

Why wouldn't Teague's guy wait?

Come on.

Come on, look, there's nobody here. Let's get out of here.

Well, I think it's safe to assume that he's probably going inside.

That's what I don't like about Teague. Things never really seem to be the way

they are.

That's not just Teague. That's everything. Oh, come on. Look at the

ship. We could search all day and never find these people. Come on. Let's go

back to the beach and have a cappuccino.

Well, Mitch, we're working today.

No. It's my day off.

It's not your day off. We're working. Okay, we're working now. We go aboard

like, say, 15 minutes. We don't find Teague. No guard.

We go to the beach.

30 minutes, you got a deal. 20.

22 and a half. Deal. Thank you.

So T called and said that this ship arrived from the Amazon on Thursday,

Right. And went down there to do some experimenting on the soil to try and

it fertile to introduce farming into the... Rainforest.

Rainforest, right. And they brought back more crates of dirt for further

research. So what's the problem?

Well, one of the crew members died while I was pulling into harbor.

Didn't they examine the body?

They couldn't. It's missing. I am still missing the point as to why we are here.

Why are we here?

Because in the two days that this ship has been quarantined here, a homeless

vagrant wandered on board and he was found dead.

How did he die?

You're going to love this.

Something attached itself to him, drained him of all life, and then

him in some acid -like substance that they supposedly can't identify.

Ew.

He also said his body had trace elements of the same unprocessed mineral earth

that they have in the cargo hold One

cargo hold after you

22 minutes I think we should give it 30

You tricked us.

The crystal ball and the tarot cards had nothing to do with you.

I was dealing in your language because you don't know mine.

Icons you are familiar with.

You wouldn't understand ours.

Who are you?

A spirit.

Such as yourself.

Okay, well, I don't want to be a spirit anymore.

I wish I was back with my body or them or me. She's trying to tell you that we

would like to be back in our bodies, please.

So wish.

What, we just wish where we want to go? No, no, no, we don't do that. That makes

us as crazy as them, okay?

Well, look at everything else that's gone on here. I mean, what's it going to

hurt? It's going to hurt because it's going to validate everything and you're

going to wish yourself there and all of a sudden... You see, that's what I love

about her. She always lives.

I don't know. Maybe it was acid or something.

Where are we?

I don't know.

In a ship, I guess.

On a cruise ship.

I'm glad they work. It's dark enough in here.

Well, like Teague said, on a trace of anyone or anything, let's go have a

cappuccino.

Impossible.

I'm still not exactly sure what we're supposed to be looking for.

Well, the only record anybody knows about is a radio call from one of

agents in South America, alerting his people that the ship was coming. The

problem was the call was interrupted.

Anybody identify the cause of that interruption?

No. After four days, a team was sent in to check it out, and the body of the

agent was found encased in some strange kind of cocoon.

What was that?

They're in trouble. No kidding.

No, I'm getting that psychic feeling all over again. Don't start that.

I'm not kidding. I mean it.

Whatever killed that guard is going to kill them. And if it killed them, it

killed us.

And somehow I'm supposed to understand how that makes sense.

We're for the future, right? I don't know. Yes.

Okay, yes. I'll play along. Go. Listen to me.

Then they are our past.

If they die, they have no future.

We can't exist.

I still don't understand what the hell you're talking about, but yes, let's

follow you, your psyche.

Which way? Which way? Tell me.

I don't know.

This way.

I don't see anything.

There's no trace of anybody even being down here.

Teague's man's got to be here somewhere.

Okay.

Here's some more dirt.

Teague found on the dead bodies.

Oh, look at this.

Looks like some kind of acid slime. Look at the way it's burned into the grate.

What was that?

Which anything could be hiding in here.

Yeah, I realize that.

Oh, my God, what the hell is that?

I thought whatever killed the guard, huh?

Look out, he's behind you!

He can't hear us.

what do we do now

i'm back to square one

We got a serious, I mean, a critical problem here.

So I have seen.

So you know about it.

All that occurs within the vortex is known to me.

I am there.

Your courage must guide you.

You must learn to trust, to believe.

Believe in what?

In yourselves.

What do we do now?

Like the Indians said, trust us.

You mean trust them.

Right now, it's the only choice we got.

I don't know.

What dirt are you talking about?

Damn it. I can't touch anything.

Must have grown.

From the Amazon, right?

Tropical.

No wonder this thing is angry.

Not angry, surviving.

My people have a saying.

In order to survive, some must die.

Your future is almost present.

What do you think that means? I haven't a clue.

But I think we're going to find out sooner than later, La.

Let's go find out where that thing was going, huh?

Okay.

How are we going to get off this ship?

Unfortunately, same way we came in, through the cargo hold.

We've got to figure out what this thing is. Yeah, I know. And stop it.

What's that?

Looks like a seed of some kind.

Wheat and barley and sugar beets, I think.

Wheat and barley don't come from the rainforest.

I'll check down here.

Yeah, I know. So that means somebody was trying to introduce them.

Wait a minute, here's something else.

Silicone crystals, but how is that possible?

Uh, silicone comes from heat.

Yeah, but the only heat strong enough to do that is radiation.

Radiation? Yeah.

Okay, go with me on this.

Say I want to grow something in an area that won't cultivate because of the

soil. What do I do?

You, um, change the soil.

Right. Well, say in changing the soil, I don't check out everything that lives

in the soil before I irradiate it.

then you could mutate something you didn't count on. What are you saying?

were fighting some sort of insect?

Something that mutated from radiation?

That's exactly what I'm saying.

That thing looked like a giant slug. And slugs feed on anything within their

domain.

Well, that would explain the missing crew member.

Yeah. I think that thing's become part of him.

Where is it?

Good God.

How do we get off this ship?

I don't know.

This thing's been on this ship for a lot longer than we have.

I got an idea.

There's an electrical conduit down there with a gas junction next to it.

I'm going to rig this thing to blow it up.

We'll get the hell out of here.

I'm going with you. No, no, no.

You stay here.

I got to come back up to get out.

You stay on the site, all right?

I'll be right back.

Hurry.

Let's hurry, okay?

Whatever you are.

I certainly get used to her not feeling that.

What's she running from?

I don't know. Maybe the creature. It got you.

I mean, the other you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, look. You stay with her if I'm

going to die. I want to be there when it happens.

There is nothing which can be done. Your paths are crossing soon, but until that

happens, they are alone in their time and you in yours.

But if she dies, I die.

And it's the same with Mitch, and it's not fair if we can save them. Your

knowledge is of your time. It cannot be used to benefit them.

Knowing the future is not the blessing it is thought.

Watch this.

You can see me.

I don't have any time to explain this to you. I am your future, and you are in

grave, grave danger.

You have got to get off this ship.

It's just fine. Just get off the ship.

He's coming. Go now!

Come on.

Yes, sir.

Bring the gas bomb.

He's trying to blow up the entire ship, but it's not going to work. Seems to be

caught here.

We'll fix it. I can't. I can't. I mean, we're spirits, remember?

No, no. We're becoming physical.

She saw me.

And that thing knows we're here.

Listen to me. I know what the Indian woman meant.

Why some of us have to die in order for others to live.

It's us.

You taught me.

Which I saw myself in the car go.

No, you didn't. You were scared. You probably saw your past life flash in

of your eyes. No, no, no. It was my future. It was the same future that I

the vortex.

It was the future me running from the creature. And it was the present you

running from the explosion. And you didn't abandon me. You saved me.

As a matter of fact, the future us died so that we could live.

And I bet you were dying to explain all this to me.

Okay, so now since you're reading my mind, then why don't we just take you

to the fortune teller? No, I'm never going in there again. I don't care about

his future or mine or anyone else's, okay? Oh, good God!

This is my day off, okay? I just want a cappuccino. And I don't want to see

any Indians named Wahote or Tahoe.
