Original subtitles

COLE: Last week onTracker ...

JONAS: You see this? A missing 18-year-old.

Second one in a week. Disappeared 2 days ago.

His car abandoned along Highway 94,

right near the Bedford exit.

That's the same... place

where Gacy abducted his last victim.

Who's Gacy?

John Wayne Gacy, the killer clown.

The most notorious serial killer in Chicago history.

- Ugh! - Oh!

- Uh... - God!

I'm so sorry!

I hired you to pour drinks, Laura, not to experiment.

Stand back!

MEL: Who is she?

26-year-old female found dead in Boston last week.

This photograph was taken in 1964.

The third victim of a killer named the Boston strangler.

Why are you looking at all this?

The past 3 months, there's been a string of copycat killings.

Each one similar in style to each one of those.

MEL: Manson, Bundy,

Dahmer, the Son of Sam?

All the greatest hits.

You know who's doing this, don't you?

COLE: On SAR-TOP, we had a prisoner named Suudor.

He was serving a life sentence for mimicking

multiple homicide offenders in the Migar solar system.

[ bell chimes ]

I was happy in Chicago.

And you then just decide to drop back in my life.

Well, here I am and I want to know why.

Jess, I...

You planning on filling this or not?

Looks like he left the country 2 days ago.

One way plane ticket. O'Hare to Heathrow.

JESS: Guys! Over here!

[ squeals ] I can't believe you're here!

So good to see you both...

MAN: Tracker's arrived, along with the woman.

The girl came and picked them up.

HAAG: Keep an eye on them, but don't get too close.

The London Times has received a death threat.

"Dear Boss, they say I've been dead near 100 years.

Truth is, I've just been sleeping.

Now I'm back, the streets of London

will again flow with the blood

that spills from my blade.

Yours truly..."

Jack the Ripper.

A-aah!

[ muffled screams ]

[ screaming ]

[ heavy breathing ]

COLE: This is Cirron, my home.

One of 6 planets in the Migar Federation.

There was a prison break.

218 of the most violent criminals

have disappeared into the city of Chicago.

Finding them won't be easy.

They aren't human.

Luckily for Earth, neither am I.

PARKER: Oh, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, Inspector.

Daniel Parker.

The hospital chief administrator.

And you are?

[ British accent ] Cole.

Uh, Inspector Cole, is it?

Special Investigator, actually.

- Ah. - Ah.

If I can I take you into my confidence,

this whole thing is a disaster.

We could be facing a 7-figure settlement.

- 7-figure? - Oh, easily.

There was a case in Lancaster,

where a man had a cancerous tumor on his leg.

And the doctor operated on the wrong leg.

Took it off just below the knee.

Oh.

The hospital settled for £8 million.

I suppose that's the going rate for a healthy leg.

I suppose so.

Would you mind telling me what, uh, happened here?

Mrs. Carswell came in for elective surgery.

A simple cyst removal.

Now she's in full renal failure.

There were complications?

Well, you could say that.

Instead of removing the cyst,

this lunatic cut out both her kidneys.

The surgical order was forged.

Along with his personnel file,

medical license, and hospital I.D.

So this surgeon was masquerading as a doctor.

More than that.

He must have had some training.

This chap really knew what he was doing.

Why would you say that?

I had a head of surgery examine the patient.

He said the incisions and sutures

were some of the best he'd ever seen.

I think you'd better slow down.

I've got a long way to go.

Jess, getting drunk

in the middle of the afternoon isn't going to solve it.

Really? Well, I've always found

that getting a bit pissed helps me

forget just how crap men can be.

And then the fact that it's only noon,

well, that's a bonus, really.

So what did Ewan say?

What's it matter?

Because maybe you misinterpreted what he said.

Mel, how many ways can you misinterpret the word "no?"

Well...

There's, "No, not yet,"

and then there's, "No, I don't want a commitment."

Of course, then there's, "No, I don't want to get married."

Sounds like you were listening in on our conversation.

Well, which excuse did he give you?

Now, let me see.

It was, "No, not yet.

"No, I don't want a commitment,"

and, "No. I don't want to get married."

[ Jess sighs ]

So he called it off?

Mel, maybe you know something I don't,

but I don't think it was ever on.

[ sighs ] Jess.

Do you still love him?

Yeah.

MEL: Well, I've been honest about how I feel about Ewan.

But if that's the way that you really feel,

and if this is what you want,

then you have got to fight for him.

Fight.

- And you've had enough. - No. I haven't.

Yeah you have. And you know why?

Because you've reached that stage where

your emotions are in a perfect balance.

You know, a little anger, a little fear,

some rationality, and a whole lot of who-gives-a-damn.

- Yeah. And? - And...

One more drink, you screw up the balance

and lose your edge.

My edge.

What edge?

You need to get together with Ewan

right now and close this deal.

Close the deal? Now?

You sure?

Positive.

Okay. Just one question.

If you're so good at all of this,

how come you're still single?

Because I've never reached that perfect balance.

Never?

I came close once.

That was it.

[ sighs ]

That is so sad.

You've got to get out of here.

Don't want to lose that balance.

Don't want to lose that edge.

Can't have that now, can we?

Jess... give him hell.

I will.

Hello!

- [ cell phone beeps ] - Hello!

MEL: [ on phone ] Cole, where are you?

I'm tracking Suudor.

You still haven't found him yet.

COLE: I tracked him to a hospital, but he got away.

How?

He threw a nurse out the window.

It's a long story, Mel.

Disgusting and tenacious.

His tenacity's what landed him at SAR-TOP in the first place.

What do you mean?

He was mimicking a Vardian thrill-killer

when the authorities closed in. He still proceeded with the kill

knowing full well that he'd get caught.

Why wouldn't he just give up at that point?

Because he can't.

Once he's assumed the identity of a killer,

he can't shed the role until he's satisfied all his urges.

[ sighs ] Well, he killed that woman the other night.

Isn't that enough?

Well, he's a serial killer, which means multiple victims.

He'll definitely strike again.

MEL: Do you know when?

COLE: Now that he knows I'm here, he'll strike quickly.

My guess is tonight.

All the Ripper murders happened in a 2-hour window,

between midnight and 2:00 A.M.

So you have a rough idea when. Do you know where?

Same place as last night: the Whitechapel District.

I'm gonna check out the area,

see if I can find a vantage point.

Okay.

I'm gonna try and catch up on my sleep.

Well, say hello to Bobby for me.

Cute!

[ hangs up ]

[ ringing ]

[ rings ]

- [ rings ] - [ groans ]

Hello.

Mel, how's London?

- Laura? - Yeah.

What's wrong? What happened?

Please don't tell me there was another fire.

Mel, relax. Everything is totally cool.

Cool. That's good.

Are you sure everything is cool?

- Very cool. - Cool.

So, why are you calling me at 6:00 in the morning?

Just to let you know that everything is totally cool here.

Okay, let's try this from another angle.

Where are you?

- At the bar. - At 6:00 in the morning?

Why?

Oh, I was fast asleep,

but then I heard some sounds downstairs.

So I flipped on all the lights and checked out the bar.

After that, I couldn't get back to sleep.

You slept at the Watchfire last night?

Well, not technically at the Watchfire.

I mean, not in the bar.

Let me guess. My room?

Well, you weren't using it,

and I had a big fight with my boyfriend,

and had to move out, so--

So you just forgot to tell me

that you were gonna be living in my bedroom

when I was out of town.

It's not like it was planned or anything.

It just kind of happened.

- [ sighs ] - It's not a problem, is it?

Why don't we talk about this when I get back?

- Cool. - Yeah.

Mm, by the way, I totally love

your Martha Stewart collection sheets.

What's the thread count?

Laura, this is costing me money.

I got to go.

Oh, right.

I'll use the 1-800-COLLECT thing next time.

No, actually I'd still be paying for it

because you would be calling me collect.

Oh, right.

Look, just please look after the place, okay?

Don't worry about a thing.

I'll even replace your Derma Scrub body wash

before you get back.

[ sarcastically ] Great.

[ hangs up and sighs ]

And I'm not gonna take this anymore.

So, either we get married or we're off.

Jess, what was so urgent?

I was in the middle of installing

a mega system into a Bloke's car.

Yeah, we need to talk.

Yeah, I know.

- You do? - Yeah.

I might not be the most reliable guy,

but I'm not stupid.

I know you're disappointed in me.

You do?

And I know you've had expectations

I haven't fulfilled.

You do?

So, I think it's about time

I lived up to my promises.

I do. I mean, you do?

How about a real date tonight?

You, me and a few dozen locals at the Nitebox.

Oh, you know I love that place.

That's why we're going.

Is that the only reason?

Well, you don't want to ruin

all the surprises, do you?

[ squeals ]

I'll just tell Cole and Mel they're on their own tonight.

Right.

WOMAN: Come on there, darling.

You're looking good, you know.

MAN: Ah, thank you, Jane.

You're looking pretty good yourself.

Hey, let's go somewhere a little bit private.

- Okay, sure. - I know you want to.

HAAG: Do you still have him?

Yes, I've told you there's no problem.

Who are you?

You with Suudor?

Aah...

It's all coming to an end, Tracker.

I'm afraid I'll have to agree with you on that.

[ screaming ]

[ knocking at door ]

[ knocking ]

- [ knocking ] - [ sighs ]

[ knocking ]

Coming!

- [ thud ] - Ow!

Room service.

Ugh! It looks like I'm interrupting something.

Just me trying to get some sleep.

Uh-huh, really?

And what have we done with him?

Where is he? In the loo?

MEL: Who?

Aren't you the coy one? Cole.

Oh, Jess. I'm too tired to even go there.

Yeah, I can imagine.

So, tonight is the night.

- Yeah? - Oh, yeah.

So you talked to Ewan and you went shopping.

Yeah, spent all day in Camden.

Spent all my money. But you know what?

It's gonna be so worth it when Ewan sees me

in one of these outfits.

Call me old-fashioned, Jess,

but snakeskin pants and a belly shirt just don't seem

the proper attire for a romantic night out.

Well, they are when your romantic night out involves

drinking kamikaze shots and dancing on speakers.

What do you think?

No.

Where's he taking you, anyway?

Nitebox. That's where we first met.

Ewan used to spin there.

Of course, I thought he was gorgeous.

[ sighs ]

"Ends of the Earth," Steel Raven.

I must have asked for that song, like, a thousand times

before I got the courage to ask him out.

So you guys met in a club?

Yeah, East End, Whitechapel.

- Whitechapel? - Okay.

What do you think? Hair down?

No, I don't think so.

Well, it kind of goes with the outfit.

I can do a kind of up thing.

Ewan cannot propose to you in a nightclub.

Why not?

Think about it, Jess. What's he gonna do?

Get down on bended knee on those nasty floors,

or shout out his proposal over Nirvana?

- Nirvana? - Whatever.

Mel, Ewan and I have been through a lot,

and it all started in that club.

- So? - So, this is about our history.

This is also about your future.

Think about it, Jess, you're not a kid anymore.

You're planning on spending the rest of your life with this guy.

Do you really want this to go down in a nightclub?

Yeah, but Mel, if I cancel now,

he'll think that I'm backing out.

And if he thinks I'm backing out,

then he'll back out, and then this whole thing will just--

Jess, if he loves you, the place is not gonna make a difference.

Oh, I don't know, Mel.

Look, Cole hasn't seen much of London yet,

why don't the 4 of us go out to dinner

and afterwards, in the romantic surroundings

of Ewan's own flat, he can propose to you properly.

Mel, Ewan lives over a car repair shop.

It's hardly romantic, is it?

Romance is where the heart is.

Exactly! Exactly!

That's why we're going to the club,

but then you said that--

Honey, it'll be right.

[ sighs ]

I don't know.

What the hell is that?

Uh, that's just Cole's stuff.

You know, undercover.

Really? What, CIA?

Just let me get a couple hours sleep,

and then I'll be ready for the big night.

Okay.

Well, just make sure you do, okay?

Mel, I really don't know what to wear.

Whatever you choose, you're gonna look gorgeous.

Hair up, hair down.

And say hi to Cole for me...

and I'll see you later.

I'm getting married.

And I'm so tired.

Ahh...

COLE: I saw Jess in the hallway.

Did you two go shopping?

No.

I thought you were gonna take a nap.

So did I.

Did you find anything?

COLE: More than I bargained for.

Isn't that one of those collars that Raahm or Saahm,

or whatever his name was, wore?

Actually, both of them did.

Where'd you get it?

From another Orsian.

Meaning there are other fugitives here besides Suudor?

Well, there's one less now.

Well, do you think that they came here together?

I'm not certain.

What are you doing?

What is that?

Well, there are no words in your language really to describe it,

but it's the knowledge.

Convenient and easy to carry.

Does it do anything?

Oh, it does many things.

It stores my training simulator,

my universal translator that helps me

blend into different species and different cultures.

Wow!

So this helps you change your form.

Yes.

It also stores all my files from SAR-TOP.

Which will help me ascertain which fugitive this Orsian is.

Speaking of Orsians, where is its life force right now?

In the collector,

but it acts as a mini-storage unit as well.

And that's just as safe

as those little metal balls at home, right?

Yes. Just as safe.

Easy for you to say.

So?

There are many possibilities,

but none that really make any sense.

My guess is this twin is somewhere here in London.

I'm going to have to locate him to find out what's going on.

Don't you kind of have your hands full with Suudor?

Well, Suudor won't strike again until tonight.

Which will give me plenty of time to track this Orsian.

Using this, right?

Yes, the collar is biologically in sync

with the symbiotic other half.

So this will help you find him.

And what concerns me is,

what is this Orsian doing here in London?

It is kind of far away from Chicago, isn't it?

I don't think it's a coincidence.

Cole, listen to this:

Jess told me that her and Ewan had plans

to go to a club in Whitechapel tonight.

Well, I hope you convinced her not to go.

I did. It wasn't easy.

But we're having dinner together instead.

You didn't tell her about Suudor?

No, of course not.

You told her one of your lies?

They're not lies. They're--

What?

White lies.

All right, so long as you convinced her not to go there,

white lies are fine.

Whatever they are.

Oh, no!

MAN: [ on phone ] Reception, can I help you?

Apparently not. I ordered a wake-up call for 7:00.

Could I have your room number, please?

243.

Yes, there's a wake-up call here for 7:00.

- Thank you! - A.M.

There's also a message.

A woman named Jess called at 8:30.

She said she couldn't get in touch with you,

so she assumed your dinner plans were off.

She's going to the club and will call you tomorrow.

Madam, are you still there?

[ slams receiver ]

[ indistinct chatter ]

[ laughs ]

[ giggles ]

Yeah. You're right.

[ music playing ]

It's really happening in here.

Yeah. Good vibe.

Brings back loads of memories, doesn't it?

Yeah. Lots of memories.

We had some good times in here, didn't we?

Yeah.

You know...

I met this girl here once.

She was very hot.

Really? You don't say.

Yeah. We got together and there was this instant chemistry.

We started dating and eventually fell in love.

Then what happened?

I messed it up.

Just like I do with everything else that's good in my life.

That's a sad story.

Yeah. Sad all right.

But I always hoped it would

turn around and have a happy ending.

To happy endings.

No. To new beginnings.

Ohh.

[ sighs ]

[ stammers ]

What is it?

I-I've got to go shake hands with the Prime Minister.

I'll be right back.

Such a charmer.

All right, mate, do me a favor.

- Yeah. All right. - Yeah.

BOUNCER: Okay, 2 more. Thank you. That's it.

Whoa. No, no. Sorry. No.

Yeah, yeah. All right, all right. Yeah.

One more. One more.

Now, that's it! Sorry. Okay.

[ cell phone rings ]

Mel?

MEL: [ on phone ] Cole. Where are you?

I'm not far from ...Mel.

Cole? Hello.

Mel!

[ phones beep ]

Mel! What are you dong here?

- I need to talk to you. - Listen, you bailed on me.

What was I supposed to do?

Trust me. It's not about that.

Where's Ewan?

The loo. Case of nerves. You know,

with everything we've got to talk about and that.

Actually, it might be better if we were able to be alone.

Look, it's not that I don't want you here or anything, but--

Well, I was kind of hoping that

we could go somewhere else tonight.

Excellent! Just as soon as Ewan

and I have taken care of business,

we can go somewhere and celebrate.

Well, I kind of meant now.

Mel, you're acting stranger than usual.

And that's saying something.

So, what's going on?

- Well, what is it? - Come on.

What are you doing?

- Leaving. - Leaving?!

Mel, this could be the most important night

of my life, and you want me to leave?

Jess, this could be the last night

of your life if we don't leave now.

- Oh, my God! - What?

"Ends of the Earth," Steel Raven.

- What? - The song!

Our song. I need to find Ewan.

Jess! All right, Mel.

What's going on? Were the 2 of you leaving?

We thought it'd be fun to go someplace else for a while.

We like it here, don't we?

JESS: That's what I keep trying to tell her.

You know what, you're right. Why don't you guys go dance?

I'll go find Cole, and we'll hook up later.

Uh, just want to say thanks.

Sure. Stay close to him.

I will.

Get back.

Sorry, sorry.

- [ cell phone rings ] - No. No more. Thank you.

Cole?

Hey, Mel, it's me.

- MEL: Laura? - Yeah! How's it going?

Uh, this really isn't a good time right now, Laura.

Oh. I just wanted to say that I got

some negative vibes from you earlier

about me staying here and everything,

and it kind of bummed me out.

But when I was doing my Pilates,

I realized that I kind of invaded

your space, and I know some people

have a hard time dealing with that.

You know what? Don't worry about it. It's okay.

What?

Don't worry about it, Laura.

I can hardly...oh!

- [ crash ] - Mel?

I said don't worry about it. It's okay.

Really? Because I was going to see

if I could find some place else to stay tonight.

Can we talk about this another time?

Oh, okay. Well...

I just kind of really need to know, so I--

It's fine. Stay at the Watchfire until we get home, okay?

Really? That is so totally fantastic!

I mean, we may not know each other

and everything, but...oh!

And I need to bring my dog...

Hey. No. I told you, man. Hey, what's up?

[ cell phone rings ]

Laura, this really isn't a good time right now.

COLE: Hello, Mel?

Cole, thank God. Where are you?

Um, down the street from the London Bridge Hotel,

a few blocks east of the Nitebox. Where are you?

MEL: I'm outside of the club. Suudor just left,

and he's headed in your direction.

- Where's Jess? - She's inside with Ewan.

I figured she'd be safer in there.

Okay. Get back inside and stay with her.

What's wrong?

I'll be there soon.

- No. Thank you. - What?

No, not--uh...

[ sighs ] Okay, hurry.

- [ gasps ] - No hurry, really.

[ shouts ] Cole!

[ whimpers ]

Now, we don't want to attract

any attention to ourselves, do we?

[ muffled screams ]

How much longer are you going to make me wait?

For what?

[ sighs ] All right, that's it.

I can't take another second of this.

Jess, wait, wait.

Oh, I guess I shouldn't have said that.

Ewan, I'm serious.

Sit down, please.

[ whispers ] Sit down.

Jess, I promise you one thing.

You won't...

feel a thing.

Jack was primarily a throat man,

but always took a souvenir.

[ muffled cries ]

I can see why the tracker fancies you.

Your eyes are so lovely.

They'd look wonderful in a jar on my shelf.

Agh!

Ah, I can't wait to tell...

Mel? Mel!

What the hell is...

[ gasps ]

[ gasps ]

Back in the alley...

That wasn't very nice, was it?

[ gasps ]

Now you can make it up to me.

Uhh!

Oof!

Oh! Ahh.

Now...where were we?

EWAN: Ahh.

Uhh.

Mel!

- Ewan! - Ugh.

JESS: Cole?

Ooh...

Oof!

Go. Get out of here.

A grand entrance, I'll admit.

Though I suspect your exit won't be quite so graceful.

Nor will yours.

I'm afraid it doesn't end this way, Tracker.

It's over, Suudor.

Oh, now see, you're forgetting one thing:

Jack the Ripper was never caught.

[ click ]

COLE: Oof!

- Ooh! - [ sizzling ]

[ groaning ]

Bravo! [ laughs ]

A brilliant performance.

All we had to do was drop some bread crumbs along the way.

You did exactly as expected.

It's called liquid nitrogen.

You might feel a slight chill.

Suudor, we need him alive.

Oh, he'll be alive, all right. I promise you that.

I'll only remove a few of his superfluous human appendages.

Yes, it's tempting. However--

Do you know how many of us he's captured, Haag?

How many of us have suffered at his hand?

HAAG: That is not your concern.

Just give me a minute. 30 seconds.

Just a little payback for some of our associates.

Enough!

You have fulfilled your purpose.

Now, get out of my sight.

I'll bring you a little souvenir--

something to remember them by.

[ groans ]

We can't leave him!

Excuse me! This is my cab!

It's an emergency.

Who the hell do you think you are?

Hey, I'm talking to you.

- Back off! - JESS: Listen,

we can't just leave Cole here.

Kensington. Drive!

I'm sorry.

Still conscious, Tracker? Hmm?

You have my brother in here, don't you?

When I lost contact with him,

I assumed it was because you had taken him.

Yes, so I left my collar in a warehouse...

To draw you in.

The tracker became the tracked.

My men will be coming any second now...

to pick you up and bring you to Zin.

[ groans ]

[ gasps ]

There you are, Lassie.

Aah! Oof!

I knew you'd come back to me.

Where's your friend gone, huh?

She's missing all the fun.

Ohh!

So, now that we have you and the device,

we can free all those life forces that you've captured...

Including my brother.

And then we'll find new human hosts for all of them.

[ gasps ]

- [ screams ] - [ grunts ]

[ groans ]

Yes, Tracker, your time on Earth is finished.

Yours...and your girlfriend.

[ groans ]

No more games.

[ grunts ]

[ groans ]

[ weakly ] Oh...no.

[ grunts ]

Unh!

[ screams ]

Uhh...oh!

Come on. We've got to go.

Oh, come on. Faster, Mel.

Okay. Easy.

- Oh no. - WOMAN: You all right, love?

- What? - Who's that?

It's an emergency.

Cole, what just happened?

I'm not sure. Go. Go!

MEL: You're a very efficient packer, Cole.

Is that all my stuff from the bathroom?

Yes. 3 shampoos, 2 conditioners,

a color stabilizer, and a...sheen enhancer.

Yeah. Well, it takes a lot of work to look nice.

You make it look easy.

Thank you... I think.

Jess said to say goodbye and she'd see you next month

when her and Ewan come to Chicago.

Well, she must be very excited getting married.

She's been wanting it for a long time.

Mm-hmm.

I'm going to miss her from the bar.

Me, too.

Did you find out anything about the other Orsian?

No. His life force identification

wasn't on my list.

Which means he and his brother

weren't fugitives from SAR-TOP.

Then how did they get here?

My guess is Zin.

What I need to know is why.

So Zin was behind this whole Suudor thing?

No. Suudor was a killer long before Zin freed him.

He even told me that luring me to London

was all part of a plan to trap me here.

Well, I don't understand.

Why would he go through all the trouble

of luring you here? Why couldn't Zin

just do all this in Chicago?

Maybe he has another organization here.

Or maybe he just wanted to get you

out of the city for a while.

- [ knocking on door ] - Well, all the more reason

for us to get back to Chicago.

MEL: I'm ready.

Yes. Uh, over there.

[ cell phone rings ]

[ rings ]

Hello?

COLE: I'll take these.

Laura, it's okay. Whatever it is,

I'm sure it can be replaced.

Well, that duvet cover did belong

to my grandmother, but...

No. I'll take that, thank you.

I was thinking about getting a new one.

Dog?

Uh-huh. And what kind of dog is Archie?

A Great Dane... I should've known.

[ sighs ] Look, we'll be back tonight. Just--

What was that crash?

Laura?!

We do need to get back.

And sir?

Oh. Yes, of course.

I almost forgot.

Thank you very much. You've been very helpful.

[ door shuts ]

Thank you, sir.
