Original subtitles

From Hollywood to the world, you're watching Fox Friday.

Really, Magnolia, you know I've got a whole big...

Full of absolutely perfect tomatoes set aside for you. I'm sorry, Vinny. I

thought we... You thought what?

I'd forget?

Let me get them for you. Thank you.

No.

Thank you. I want $50. On the library number you gave me. Don't tell anybody.

I only do that for special friends.

Ego?

Maclaurius?

Maclaurius!

Hello? Hello, is anybody home?

Hey, shut the door before the cats escape.

Who are you?

My name's Adam. I'm looking for Magnolia. She's not here.

Would it be okay with you if I wait?

Might be a while. She's out of town.

You know where she went?

Upstate.

Look, if you're here for a reading, you're out of luck. She doesn't do that

anymore.

I'm not here for a reading.

You're in shame if you ask me. She's good.

She's better than good.

You know, the police, the FBI, they call her all the time.

She predicted that 737 crash last year, though. She didn't want anybody to know

about it.

Upstate? You know where upstate?

Someplace called Sparta.

She phoned me from the bus station, asked me to watch the babies. I live

next door.

I'd offer you something to drink, but the truth is, the only thing Magnolia

keeps in the refrigerator are tomatoes.

Well, thanks anyway.

I'm gonna go see if I can catch up with her.

Bye.

I wish they'd stop running that New York City bus.

Ma'am?

Ma'am, you're going to have to come down from there.

Can't. Can't. It's the only place I can see it from.

See what, ma'am?

What's coming?

Ma'am, you've got to come down from there. We have to run like the wind,

faster than the wind. There's not much time left.

Flip forward.

Heads.

Well, get a move on.

No, please.

Please don't. I have to see it. See where it comes from. I can't let it

happen. They're coming.

They're coming and we're all going to die.

You have violated U.S. airspace.

If you do not land immediately, we will be forced to shoot you down.

It's coming right up. You are read and free to engage unknown.

Lockpane loaded.

It's him.

What did you see?

Unidentified, sir.

Unidentified.

That's where it is.

What kinds of plants?

And?

There does seem to be one other substance, but the gas chromatograph

couldn't identify it. I'm preparing additional tests.

Do you know how long the liquid was exposed to the open air?

It was at least an hour after McCarthy disappeared before my man found his

little fire pit.

That timing would match the lab reports from the bonfire ashes.

Any identity on that body that was burned? Not enough left to even pull

dentals. And no matches with missing persons yet.

Colonel, it is possible that an airborne contaminant affected this mixture.

Nothing to do with Nick Arthur's accident.

Vitriol circle, fire, cremated body.

Death.

Colonel, do you need to sit down?

No, I need to know what this is, what it does.

MacArthur keeps coming back from the dead.

I want to know if this is how he does it.

A magic potion?

No, not magic.

Sir?

Extraterrestrial.

What kind of shrink looks at your pupils?

My kind.

Now, your hands, please. Oh, no. I don't like to be touched.

Really?

No, I don't have to touch. You can just show me.

I have visions.

That's why I wear gloves.

What do you see?

You know, all sorts of things, you name it.

Good things?

Bad things?

I wouldn't wear gloves if it was good things more than bad things, now would

I? But that isn't the world we live in, is it, Doctor?

At least not my world.

I'll tell you a secret.

My grandmother had the same thing.

She used to say, I just had a visit, or a visiting.

Really?

Every time she saw something.

Mostly simple things, though.

Someone's about to call, and sure enough, the phone would ring.

But it was spooky how many times she was right on the money.

Did she wear gloves?

No.

She was lucky.

Maybe she was.

Of course she was.

Didn't completely screw up her life. She had a family and children.

She was very lucky.

I guess you're right.

A few more working hours before I can do that. No, go home now. There's been a

fire.

You have a daughter named Hannah.

She has a lot of stuffed animals.

That's very good.

I do have a daughter, as a matter of fact. And, yes, like most kids her age,

she has quite a collection of stuff. Her favorite is a giraffe named Joshua.

Doctor, your wife is on the phone. It's an emergency.

Hello?

Slow down, slow down.

My God.

Is Hannah okay?

Please, Lizzie, slowly.

Yes, yes, of course, I'll be right there. Just make sure you ask for Dr.

Hilger.

Yes, Hilger.

It's going to be okay, Lizzie.

It's important you stay calm for Hannah's sake, all right?

I'll be right there.

Okay.

Your daughter will be fine How did you know I told you just be

grateful it isn't anything worse Please not yet

Yeah, not really.

Ah, come on through. Come on through.

Anybody here interested in stealing

a slightly used rental?

There you go, lady.

Don't run up the mileage.

All right, I'm looking for the local loony bin. Anybody know where that is?

Anybody?

Magnolia Vale.

I'm looking for Magnolia Vale.

She's down that way, isn't she?

Magnolia? Get out.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

You don't know what you're gonna do.

You're a freak.

Well, we are a little different, you and I, but we can help each other.

I don't need your help. I don't need anybody's help.

Yes, you do.

Why are you so scared?

Because I know what's going to happen.

Oh, what's gonna happen?

Nurse!

What do you see?

Nurse!

Help!

Plague.

Okay.

Come with me. Let me help you. It's too late.

The plague is coming and I don't know how to stop it.

I, uh, I always loved this show as a kid.

Tim, it's Magnolia.

Hang on, I'm coming.

Help! Help!

Get away from me! Take it easy, Magnolia. Get away! Get away! Get away

from me!

Just calm down. Get away from me! Get away from me! What are you doing? It's

gonna be okay.

Hold still. We have to stop it! No!

Just take it easy. Calm down.

Okay,

Magnolia.

All right, you got it.

Let's go.

Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to leave.

Hey, tough break, man.

Ozzie Faulkner.

Adam McCarthy.

So, who tipped John Magnolia?

Excuse me?

Oh, I get it. I don't give up mine. You don't give up yours.

Okay. Whatever.

I'm just a friend.

Uh-huh.

Yeah, right.

Are you a reporter?

Yeah. National title, Eric.

I know. Don't even say it.

But I bet when you're alone, you read us, don't you?

No, sorry. I don't... Do you know Magnolia?

Yeah, sure.

We all know Maggie.

This will be my fourth story on her if these pictures all come out.

Psychics make great copy, huh?

Especially Maggie Mae, because she is the real thing.

Then again, you know all about that, don't you?

I know she's in pain.

Ain't we all?

Yeah, life's tough, then you die.

Difference is, people will pay good money to hear about her pain, huh?

Is there anything you can tell me about her?

You mean something I'd be compelled to pad your wallet for?

A hundred bucks off the record?

I'll tell you this, for free, she's going to make a difference someday.

If she survives.

All right.

Hey, look, I've got to find a FedEx office to get this off of. I'm going to

get the story in in time. So, uh, see you there.

I don't even want to know what that is.

Chinese astragalus root.

It's supposed to be good for the immune system.

Don't tell me.

Tastes like chicken.

More like dirt. You want a hit?

I got yours with extra sprouts and arsenic. That's good for the immune

system, too.

Okay.

What is that?

This is, um, standard FBI-issued stakeout reading material.

It's the National Tadler.

Craig, you're going to rot your cassava if you keep reading stuff like that.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Famed psychic Magnolia Vale flees New York City, ends up in the

Sparta County Psychiatric Hospital.

I'll never say it again.

She's awake now and much calmer.

I appreciate you letting me see her.

As long as you understand it's her choice.

I do understand.

Magnolia? Adam's here.

Would you like to speak with him?

Can I be released?

I can't keep you. Your tests are all negative.

I'd like to speak to Malone, please.

No one ever comes to see me.

Just for me.

They all want something.

What do you want?

I told you.

I want to help you.

But that's not all.

Like that, you put me first.

Never mind. You'll ask me when you're ready.

In the meantime, get me out of here.

Can I ask you what changed your mind about trusting me?

I saw you in my vision.

You're a part of it now.

The cats absorb energy.

Same reason I live in New York.

So many people, so much mental energy, the psychic signals just cancel each

other out.

So you got some peace and quiet.

Yeah, smack dab in the middle of the city.

It was such a relief until the vision started.

What visions?

Well, the ones that brought me here.

Started about two weeks ago, flashes at first.

Then they came more often, like nothing I'd ever seen before. More intense.

Something bad is going to happen to Adam, and it's going to happen soon.

I hoped it would stop, but it only got worse.

And now you're a part of it, too.

I need some tomatoes.

You sure she said the gladiator?

Mr. Faulkner will meet you at the gladiator. That's what she said.

As an employee of the Tattler, we know she cannot tell a lie.

Here it is.

Well, let me guess.

Mr. Faulkner.

Special Agent Wilcox.

These are Special Agents LaRue and Van Patten.

I'd like to talk to you about a picture you took.

I'm a professional. My time costs.

Tell us about the man in the photo.

Well, what about him? What was he doing there with Magnolia?

Says they were friends.

What do I know?

Thought you were a reporter.

He's not the story. She is.

Have you seen him since you took the photo?

No.

And now the reporter in me would like to know why.

Well, if you do see him, you contact us immediately.

Absolutely.

I'll put you on the installment plan.

I need to ask you a couple of questions.

Let's skip the questions. Go straight to the answers, okay, Doc? Sorry, Colonel.

The universe has rules.

I can't change that.

Colonel, your gunshot wounds are not healing appropriately.

And? And I don't know why.

Are you sleeping?

Much as I need to.

Appetite? I eat.

Job stress?

Are you kidding me, Doctor?

Over here.

You got your blood panel back.

Your white count is elevated.

Is it warm in here?

I, uh, run a little hot.

102 is not a little hot.

I'll take a couple aspirins, call you in the morning.

You having dizzy spells? Any lightheadedness?

No.

Hold out your hand for me.

That's ridiculous.

Oh, come on, Colonel. Humor and old broad.

I think you better clear your schedule.

I can't do that.

Sorry, Colonel. That's not a request.

That's an order.

The things I see, my visions, are all very confusing.

So, in my life, it is better if everything is all lined up, organized,

simple. Well, you have a remarkable gift.

A gift?

You are a minority of one, my friend.

I have been diagnosed, examined, therapied, and no one in all that time

has ever called it a gift.

That's what it is.

You know, Native Americans considered psychics to be emissaries of the gods.

And look what happened to the Native Americans.

I'm sorry, but a gift it is not.

But you help people.

You think giving a friend the lottery number is going to help them feel okay

when the plague comes?

The plague doesn't have to come.

Everything always happened the way I saw it.

I don't know what to do.

What is it?

What does the FBI have to do with any of this?

Have you seen this man?

Right there.

Magnolia Vale, FBI.

We're looking for this man.

Have you seen him?

Not recently, no.

Perhaps you'd like to use your psychic powers to help us out.

You're a part of it.

What's about to happen?

Okay, I'll bite.

Part of what?

I'm not sure.

But I know you die.

I die?

Really?

How?

He kills you.

I think we should leave.

Now.

Come on. Are you crazy?

MacArthur's probably within spitting distance. And he'll turn up somewhere

else tomorrow.

I mean, is it worth risking your life for?

This, this is ridiculous.

Doug, she said I kill you.

She's a fruitcake. This fruitcake cracked the Thomas kid neck.

Do you remember I told you back when I was in the San Francisco office?

I got a six-year-old that's less gullible than you are.

Her predictions come true. So you can picture yourself killing me, huh?

Absolutely. But that's not the point. The point is, we're not going to leave a

case just because something's got you spooked, Greg.

Come on, we got a job to do.

Where'd she go?

Come in here.

Come in here.

Pass the bag.

This

way.

I hope you understand why this is upsetting me.

The only way to make the vision stop is to know what it means. Then you'll be

free.

Which means everybody dies.

So you're right.

Strictly speaking, that would mean I'm free.

What you see isn't set in stone.

Right.

Until it happens.

What you see is only one possibility.

One among many.

And an infinite number of possible futures.

That has not been my experience, friend.

It has.

You've just chosen not to act on it before.

You get to choose.

Do I change the future or don't I?

Embrace your dominion, Magnolia.

It's time.

What do you see?

Creatures from space bringing a blip.

How do you know they're from space?

They're silver.

Big eyes. Pine mask.

Silver skin?

No.

Like astronauts.

Only not.

Look carefully.

Tell me what you see.

What's it gonna be?

Everton Hill.

All right, it looks good.

Long haul?

Not so bad.

Make sure you slide in.

Don't worry.

Keep an eye out for me. I'll be right back.

All right.

Okay, I understand. Can you tell us what kind of research you do here?

Come back in the morning and the PR department will be happy to talk to you.

Look, is there anything hazardous here in the lab? Anything highly contagious?

This is a private facility.

You and your friend.

I have to leave now.

Listen, mister, I think there's going to be a terrible accident here tonight.

Nothing's happening tonight.

If a cockroach passes gas in this building, I'll know it first.

But to show you my heart's in the right place, I am calling someone for you.

Okay, thank you.

The police.

Maybe I was wrong.

You're not wrong. You saw it.

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie.

What have we here?

One of them looks a little off.

All right, if you'll need it, I'll check it then.

What? What is it?

It started.

Come on.

Yeah.

We'll quit smoking next week.

This is the way.

We're too late.

No, we're not. We can't stop this. Yes, we can. It's going to happen. It's like

an unbreakable chain.

We can change what you've seen.

We can change the future. It's up to us. Come on, it's time.

Either believe it or you don't.

Who called the honor guard?

That ain't no honor guard.

I'm telling you, boss, we should sit this one out.

Forget it.

Well, then maybe I should just stay in the car.

What is with you?

Fine, fine. Go ahead. Stay in the car.

Fine.

FBI. This man on the premises?

He's the least of our worries. Where is he?

How do I get there?

Forget it. The computer is sealing off that part of the building. That wasn't a

request.

Bureau, get the back.

Madam, the next chamber.

Come on.

Come on, hurry.

What do we do?

Why did I listen to you? We can't change anything.

Wait. Wait!

We gotta get to the others. There's no one else here. Now let's go.

It

doesn't

make sense.

The T-cells.

The white count.

All of it.

It's like you were never sick.

I'm back in uniform.

I like it that way.

What did you do, Colonel?

I did what was necessary.

Well, if you found a miracle cure, I'd sure like to hear about it.

There are no miracles, Doctor.

Only choices.

Life and death, good and evil.

I pray you never have to make the choices I have.

You know what they do in there?

Brain research.

They ain't got a living brain, they're experimental.

You mean Willie's just thinking about it? Yes, sir.

A virulent psychoactive agent was stored in there that would feed it to the brain

and then study the effects.

Apparently it makes you lose your mind going to a full bore rage.

That's what killed that reporter.

If it had gotten out, it could have wiped out half the county.

So she was right.

Magnolia?

I mean, come on, Doug, you have to admit it.

If you had shot through that door, I might have killed you.

MacArthur saved our lives.

Then once again, like a puff of smoke.

What was he doing here?

All I can say is nothing was taken out of the lab, so whatever his plan was

ain't a threat to anybody now.

You were wrong, Adam.

You can't change the future.

Because the future doesn't exist unless we make it, and you can't change

something that doesn't exist.

You just crossed the threshold.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Your son is alive.

Someday, look who's joining the carnival.

You gonna get drunk and start a lot of trouble? Sure, anything you want.

On a brand new Simpsons. Then, Troy Aikman joins the Super Bowl bash.

Boomhauer's dip was so thick our chips were snapping like Joe Theismann's leg.

On a brand new King of the Hill.

And a series of unexplained deaths. I came out of his stomach. Lead to a

terrifying revelation.

The X-Files, an all-new episode.

It all starts Sunday at 8, 7 central on Fox.

Now, Golden Globe nominee for Best Actor, Lance Henriksen in Millennium.
