Original subtitles

Aah!

Hey, what the hell is that?

Just a little test.

Test?!

What do I look like to you--

some type of lab rat?

Hey, I didn't realize

torture was part of your deal.

It's not.

Hey, aren't you supposed to extract my life force?

Oh, yeah. I'm glad you reminded me.

Cole?

Is everything all right?

You've just been really distracted

the last couple of weeks.

Cole?

I did it, Mel.

I wasn't sure I was going to be able to,

but I did.

Did what?

I've been able to find a way to...

capture all the remaining life forces all at once.

My time here is almost at an end.

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,

and luckily for Earth, neither am I.

I don't understand. How is that possible?

Well, you remember when you guided me

through the government facility a few weeks ago?

It got me thinking.

If I could boost the energy here

and then tie it into a satellite,

I could collect the remaining convicts' life forces

and download them into the containment vessel

all at once.

I did some tests on a fugitive

before I took his life force,

and it seems it's possible.

Can you give me that other circuit board there?

Sure.

This one?

Yes.

Wait a minute, Cole.

You're Cirronian, I'm part Cirronian.

What about us?

I can adjust it to avoid this location.

Good.

So how do you get them back to Sar-top?

Well, I've been monitoring Earth's

energy patterns over the past few months.

It seems there's a small window

when I can reactivate the wormhole.

Magnetic fields only line up this way every hundred years.

The only problem is, is the wormhole opens

in about 20 minutes,

and I'm not sure how long it's gonna stay that way.

[ beep beep beep ]

What's going on?

What is it?

One of the life forces I've collected is contaminated.

Contaminated? With what?

I'm not sure, but unless I can identify the source...

It may collapse the wormhole when I go back.

Can the system tell you which one it is?

No, I'm going to have to identify them one by one.

That might take some time.

But you just said you don't know

how long the wormhole's gonna stay open.

I know. I need some wires, Mel.

It will be easier if we narrowed them down.

The contamination could be a defect

in the human process or...

the fugitive himself.

Okay, something that would make

one particular fugitive stand out from the rest.

Tevv had that virus.

He infected himself with the virus.

He infected himself?

Now Tevv is in his human form,

the virus builds a poison in him.

He needs to get rid of it every day

or he dies.

And how does he get rid of it?

Intimate contact with a woman.

God.

When a female is sexually stimulated,

her body draws out the poison.

Then the virus is transmitted to the woman?

Yes.

It is fatal to her

within 3 to 5 of your earth days.

Maybe it reacted to the human body

he was carrying.

Maybe.

Would it be faster if we checked his blood?

I don't have any left.

Well, I thought we got a pretty big sample.

Aah!

Aah!

We did, but we used it all

to create the antidote to the virus he was carrying.

All right, where are you?

There.

It's not him.

All right, um...

Zin's bodyguard.

- Mederan. - Yeah.

Taking over a dog body could cause some problems.

Yeah, the dog's body was having

some adverse side effects.

Aah! Aah!

Help me!

Help me!

Aah!

Mederan!

Negative.

Okay, Rudy.

His host body was a schizophrenic.

Yeah, his brain chemistry was completely off,

not to mention all the drugs

that they were pumping him up with.

Rudy.

Rudy, it's me, Cole.

Rudy, look at me.

- Cole. - Yes.

Yahir.

Yahir.

[ gasps ]

- Uhh... - Good.

I need your help.

I'm gonna draw you something.

Look at me. Yeah.

We're gonna play a little game.

I'm gonna draw something,

and you're gonna tell me what it is,

all right?

Do you know what it is?

Look.

You remember, don't you?

Yes, I remember.

Good.

What is it?

It's the key.

The key to what?

It's very important, Cole.

Yes, I know.

Zin needs it for something.

Yes.

He must have it.

It's the reason he's here.

It's the reason we're all here.

What's the reason, Rudy?

Rudy, Rudy, Rudy, think.

Think hard.

The key will take us home.

How?

It is our destiny.

The key...

[ grunts ]

The key will take us home.

Rudy.

His body was probably still full of the drugs

when you took his life force.

Yeah, but I'm not so sure.

I think he was off the drugs

even before he attacked me.

Unh.

You thought you could trick me.

Your mistake.

Negative.

Okay, let's keep going.

Um...Remel.

Zin put his life force into Wes Tarver's body,

and that was after I took Krace's

from the same human host.

Right, and that was a new process for Zin.

He'd never transferred a life force

to another body before.

ZIN: Well, I don't want to bore you with the details, doctor...

but this apparatus contains

a very unique form of adrenaline.

I'm hoping it will provide Mr. Tarver

with the jump-start his body needs.

Welcome back to the land of the living, Mr. Tarver.

Zin?

You rest now.

You need to save your energy.

- Is it him? - I'm not sure.

There's something not right here.

Cole!

Cole?

Oh, my God! What happened?

[ groaning ]

Cole?

Are you all right?

Who's Cole?

Cole...

Do you know who I am?

No.

Oh, my God.

Okay, this is just a temporary hitch.

Do you remember anything about who you are?

Um...

I'm not from here.

Yes, right! That's good.

That's good, and-- and your name is Cole.

Well, no, actually, your name isn't Cole.

That's the name of the underwear.

Your real name is Daggon.

Daggon.

Well, you went with Cole

after you created your image from the billboard.

I did what?

And you're from another planet.

You know, in the Migar solar system,

a planet called Cirron?

You were a prison guard at a prison called Sar-top.

Is any of this making sense?

So, I'm from another planet?

Yeah.

And who are you?

I'm Mel.

I helped you.

I gave you a ride when you first got here.

I can't believe I'm going to do this.

Get in the car.

Get in the...car.

Uh...uhh.

Close the door.

Ferme la porto.

What's your name? I'm Mel.

A ride to Chicago. That's it.

Do we understand each other?

Good.

What do you say we keep the chitchat to a minimum?

What am I doing here?

Well, there was a jailbreak at your prison,

and 218 escapees came down

through the same wormhole as you did.

A what? A w--

A W-w-worm...?

Right, and you came after Rhee, remember?

He was the first one to escape.

Rhee...

A-a-and we chased him,

and--and you-- you were able to capture him.

Aah!

That way.

[ woman choking ]

MEL: We've blown the engine!

Cole!

Cole!

How exactly did I do that?

With your collector.

My what?

Your collector.

It's an extraction device.

So, it's...

Aah!

Aah...

Aah!

[ sighs ] Never mind.

It's how you catch them, and--and then you--

you store them in here.

And what is all this?

Well, you built all this--

well, except for the microwaves--

but you did your own modifications on those.

I need to read thermal patterns.

Oh, and I hunt these convicts with this.

Right.

Something about this.

Do you remember?

No, but what is it?

It's how Orsians communicate.

Orsians?

Yeah, they're, like, twins, but from the planet Orsus.

Okay, then.

Bathtub.

Yes, that's where you explained everything to me.

Orsians are born in pairs,

though in their earth bodies, they're not identical.

Okay, but you can't talk and shave

at the same time, all right?

They talk telepathically.

If I find one, I'll find the other.

Okay, why don't you try?

I remember something about this.

You do? That's good.

That's very, very good.

I got out of the bathtub

without any clothes on.

Wow. Um...

You need to towel off.

"Towel off"?

Yeah, you know, rub yourself.

Um...

Wipe your body with a towel.

You had to remember that one.

[ beep beep beep ]

But that--

Wait.

[ beeping continues ]

You remember what to do.

No, I just thought that was what I was supposed to do...

Just, you know...

COLE: What does that mean?

Trust me, it's not good.

Basically, you're on a mission that is almost complete,

but your ticket home goes away in about 2 hours.

Uh...

Wait a second.

Does this mean anything to you,

anything at all?

Try to remember.

The strylo brakk?

Yes, universal annihilation.

Come on, man, you can't be serious.

God, why would anybody create such a thing?

They were Vardians.

The story goes that the Migar Council...

was able to steal the device.

They placed it inside a drone ship

and sent it to the edge of the galaxy where,

supposedly, it exploded harmlessly,

or so they thought.

But the Vardians had switched the brakk with a replica...

and stowed the real one away.

Sorry, Cole, you're way off on this one.

It's just a myth.

So were the Greek gods.

No.

And you don't remember fighting Zin?

- Zin? - Zin.

He was the leader of all the fugitives.

ZIN: You have what you came for. Now go.

Better hurry.

The wormhole's collapsing.

Zin.

You did this?

It's time for you to leave now.

Rhee was test of wormhole?

Bingo.

Make this easy on her and leave.

How many...

- Cole! - Shut up!

Have come?

218 of them.

- Prisoners? - Will you shut up?!

I trusted you, Zin.

Well, you know what they say:

never trust a Vardian.

Sorry.

- Cole! - Okay.

You were a scientist.

Yes, and unfortunately for my planet,

a not particularly appreciated one.

Your planet?!

If you don't enter the wormhole now,

I will kill her.

Now!

MEL: Cole!

And that's when you started tracking Zin

and the rest of the fugitives.

But Zin had a much bigger plan.

This hand goes here,

I'll put mine there,

and we hold hands over here.

There was this weapon

that his people built a long time ago.

Were we involved?

What?

You and me.

No.

We have a problem to solve here.

Are you sure?

I'm positive.

I'm not the one who lost my memory.

Yeah, but I remember us dancing...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Slow down.

Just let the music move you.

♪ I can't stop...

Listen to the rhythm.

♪ Holding you

That's it.

♪ Although we are worlds apart ♪

We did dance once.

So we were involved.

No.

You asked me to teach you to dance,

and I did, remember?

So you didn't like it, then.

- No, I did like it. - You did?

Yeah...

But we really don't have time for this right now.

Yeah, but I'm trying to remember, you know?

You asked me to remember, I'm trying to remember.

I'm trying to remember.

You tell me that Zin and fighting and triangle and--

I know, and remembering is good.

Remembering is what we're going after.

- Okay. - Okay.

Are you sure there's nothing between us?

I'm...positive.

Unless you're thinking about...

The time we had to pretend when we were married.

[ bell rings ]

Can I...help you?

Yes, we've just, uh, tied our rope.

- Knot. - Huh?

We have a reservation.

Uh, we're here for the seminar.

Your name?

Cole.

Hauser.

Mr. And Mrs. Cole Hauser.

Sex seminar.

- Did we...? - No. No.

I--I would have remembered that.

No, no, we didn't.

I'm--I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I just, you know, I just have this...

It's this feeling.

It's like an attraction to you.

Really?

Yeah.

Oh.

Well, that's probably because

I'm part Cirronian.

Oh.

So we've never kissed then?

Well, we did kiss once.

We were at a dance.

At the weekend retreat.

Yeah, and you came toward me and I...

held you like this and...

and we were very close.

Oh.

What's wrong?

I remember everything.

Really? You do?

- Yes. - Oh, thank God.

[ beep beep beep ]

[ beeping continues ]

Oh, no.

Let's try this again.

But we only have an hour left.

MEL: Did it work?

I'm not sure.

COLE: Yes...

and the bad news is it isn't Remel.

What about Krace?

Krace...

No.

I doubt his artificial hyperspeed device

would have contaminated his life force, but...

What's going on?

Cole, don't pull away.

As long as I'm touching you, you're in hyperspeed with me.

How can we be in hyperspeed?

Artificial hyperspeed.

- It's a prototype. - Where did it come from?

Zin's been developing it for some time now.

It's only 85% effective, though,

and like the real Cirronian thing,

it doesn't last long, so...

Whoa, jeez,

would you put that thing away, please?

Tell me why I should trust you.

Well, look, you don't have much of a choice right now,

do you?

Good point. Come on.

Wait a minute.

Didn't you collect his life force

when his human body was dying?

There's still a chance I can save you.

I'd rather live on Sar-top than die on this planet.

You have to take my life force.

GUARD: Go, go, go!

Please.

[ groans ]

Thanks for getting me out.

This is no time for small talk.

Think of the most beautiful place

you've ever seen.

Yeah, maybe I collected

some of his human energy as well.

I'll give it a shot.

Negative again.

Okay, think, think, think, think.

Who else took over a body that...

Teenagers.

What? Teenagers?

Yeah, none of the fugitives were kids themselves, right?

Right.

So maybe when they took over the bodies,

their system screwed up.

I mean, raging hormones and everything.

Right.

There was a Nodulian that took over Jordan Baylor's body.

He was experimenting on transferring life forces.

Maybe he did some tests on himself and created a virus.

PEROS: Multiple fractures,

internal hemorrhaging,

damage to the frontal lobes.

On Enix, he was a highly skilled engineer.

Big loss for Zin.

Not if we're successful.

Back.

What's happening?

I'm not sure.

It's not him.

It's too bad you don't have Lontoria in there.

I mean, the body of a female human teenager

must have had some kind of effect on her life force.

COLE: Wait a minute, Mel, you might be onto something.

Yeah, that might be the key.

- Females. - Females?

Yes, I mean, you have to admit, on earth women are unique.

You have a point.

Perhaps a high level of estrogen

caused the life force to be contaminated.

Right.

Look at Rhee.

Exactly.

That body certainly seemed to have

some kind of strange hormonal reaction

or something.

[ ding ding ]

MAN: Slow day, huh?

Slow...day.

It's not her. Wait a minute.

What if it was on the other end of the spectrum?

Think of Zareth.

She was a beautiful woman, she had no ill effects,

well-adjusted, and she blended in very easily

and didn't have any problem

using her Desserian abilities against me.

Unh!

ZARETH: Now, this is the fun part.

I know.

Sounded like it came from that corner.

I'm afraid I move a little fast.

I know it's a slight problem

that you can't actually see me,

but you're just going to have to do better.

You know, the humans use something called mace.

Zin told me about this nitrogen--

produces a nice cold spray that works the same way...

on you.

It's amazing, isn't it,

how our alien abilities

still work in these human forms?

You had no idea

I was on that wall.

You walked right by me.

The statue.

3,000 years hidden here--

right underneath our noses.

[ groaning ]

Oh, it looks like

you're getting your strength back.

We can't have that, now, can we?

Yeah, it's not her.

Cole, we're running out of time.

Hyperspeed is the only way

you're going to get to the wormhole entrance now.

Yeah, but there's only one other earth woman

who was taken over by one of the fugitives,

and that...was Kate Philips.

[ choking ]

See, we're playing now, babe.

You know, I've encountered

a lot of different life forms in my time,

but you...

you're one of the most disgusting, pathetic,

useless creatures I have ever come across.

Love you, babe.

[ neck snaps ]

[ sighs ]

But she was an Orsian,

and Orsians are symbiotically linked in pairs.

- Like Raahm and Saahm. - Exactly.

RAAHM: [ telepathically ] Saahm, where are you?

SAAHM: [ telepathically ] Don't worry. I have the money.

I'm in the dealer's apartment.

You're not eating, are you?

We have a plan. Now get out of there.

Hey, this body requires a great deal of food, Raahm.

You can stand to lose a meal.

Have you looked in the mirror?

I've seen my reflection, yes.

And you're not repulsed?

SHAAM: What can I do?

I had to choose a body on the train.

You're obese, Saahm.

I've heard about a unique concept called dieting.

You restrict intake, you lose mass.

Try it.

I don't plan on being in this body forever.

SHAAM: Besides, it's just a quick snack.

No, Saahm. No snack.

You're always doing this.

No, I'm not.

RAHHM: Yes, you are. Now we have a plan.

You're supposed to keep the tracker busy.

Get out of there.

Okay.

Now I took both their life forces,

as I did the Vaylix sisters.

But, when we were in London...

I took Jagar's life force,

but I didn't take his brother Haag's.

It's all coming to an end, tracker.

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

JAGAR: Aaugghh!

HAAG: 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.

And so maybe only having one of a set of Orsians in there

is causing some kind of energy imbalance?

Exactly.

That's it. It's Jagar.

Oh, great.

Turn on the power grid.

Okay.

But you can't just take him out and leave him behind.

Once the satellite beam has been activated,

it'll take Haag's life force, too.

That'll take care of the energy imbalance.

Okay...

let's do this.

There.

Each light represents a fugitive.

Wow.

After the identification stage,

the collection can begin.

And all of those life forces

can fit into your containment vessel?

Yeah, I designed it to hold them all.

MEL: It's working.

Come on.

[ system powers down ]

And that's it?

You've got them all?

Yes. They're all here.

MEL: So, mission accomplished.

It must feel pretty good.

Yes, it does feel pretty good.

Well, you better get going before the wormhole closes.

Yes...I'd better.

I have to do this.

I know you do.

Come with me.

How?

Travel through the wormhole.

You're part Cirronian,

and there's so much for you to learn there.

Huh.

Oh, it's tempting, Cole.

It really... really is.

But I... the human part of me,

I think it needs to stay here.

- I understand. - Maybe...

I could come and visit you sometime.

That would be nice...

If I could find a way to reopen the wormhole.

I guess it's not like taking a flight to Newark.

No, it's not.

- Mel-- - Don't.

Don't say good-bye.

Please.

Cole?

Hello, Mel.

What are you doing here?

Fixing the speaker.

The buzzing noise bothered me.

[ Mel laughs nervously ]

No.

I mean, I thought you were going home.

I did.

And when I got there, I realized that it wasn't.

As soon as I got to Sar-top,

I started thinking about my future--

my family gone,

my life as a prison guard on a cold satellite planet--

and I realized that's not what I wanted my life to be.

I was thinking of you.

And thanks to a small miscalculation,

the wormhole stayed open longer than I thought.

I just made it in time, too.

The wormhole closes in another couple of minutes.

Well, there's no one to catch anymore.

You're going to have to find something to do.

I was thinking about that.

What would you think

if I opened up a little electrical repair shop?

[ laughs ]

I think that would be perfect.

[ soft music plays ]

It works!

I promise I won't give you the finger.

I have something for you.

- Cole? - Boo!

Aah! [ laughs ]

Here.

I was waiting for a special occasion to give this to you,

but then everything got so busy.

Wow. It's beautiful.

It's a telescope.

Yes, it is.

Thank you.

MEL: I just thought, maybe if you got homesick...

Oh, but then, it's probably too far.

Well, I can make some adjustments.

I'm sure you can.

Do you want to see roughly where Cirron is?

I'd love to.

Here, look.

Can you see the Big Dipper?

Where?

Look at the North Star and draw a line down to the left.

Right.

No, left.

I got it.

Okay.

Well, look at the star

to the bottom right of the Dipper.

Okay.

If you travel out from there, say...

50 light-years...

50 light-years, is that all?

Give or take a few million miles.

Of course.

Well, if you draw a graduating angle,

which would be to your left,

you'd eventually come to the Migar system.

Cirron is the center of one of those planets.

It's the largest one.

It's beautiful, Mel.

Maybe one day I can show it to you.
