Are you ready?

As I'll ever be.

Good.

Big day, huh?

Yeah.

Go ahead.

Stand back.
Ready to proceed.

Just stay alert
and enjoy the ride.

Thanks.

Hold the countdown.

I don't understand.

Is there something wrong
with my calculations?

No. Not at all.

I've just made some adjustments
in the dimensional synchronicity.

Only hold for
a few more seconds.

Resume countdown, now!

Beckett, come on!

- On your right!
- No!

Q-Ball, call it!
We got 20 seconds.

This is getting personal.

Move!
On the left!

Damn it. I'm out.

Come on, guys, shake it!

Go! Go!

Here they come.
Let's go.

They made it!

Another rough one!

Ohh!

Wow!

Never had one like that.

Are you all right?

Yeah. What was
that explosion?

Where are they?

Wow! That was
really something!

Who are you?

Who are we?
Who the hell are you?

I'm Quinn.

Quinn Mallory.

What if you found
a portal to a parallel universe?

What if you could slide into
a thousand different worlds

where it's the same year
and you're the same person,

but everything else
is different?

And what if you can't
find your way home?

Sliders.

I didn't see you in the lab.

How did you get out here?

How did I get out here?

What lab?

- What are you talkin' about?
- And where's Quinn?

What happened to Colin?

Hold on!
Give me a chance.

I told you, I'm Quinn

and I don't know
anybody named Colin.

I saw some guy in that...

What was that... tunnel?

He got hit by some
kind of lightning and...

well, suddenly there
were thousands of him

and then he was gone.

I've never seen
anything like it.

Is he with you?

Yeah. Yeah,
he was with us.

Well, what were you
doin' in there?

Are you with Fremont Labs?

Thermodyne Propulsion?

We're not with anybody.

Okay, I've had enough of this.

What have you done
with our friends?

I haven't done anything
with your friends.

I don't even know you people.

I was part of this experiment
for this weird guy I work for.

What guy?
See? I knew it.

- Who you workin' for?
- Kromaggs?

Take it easy
with the gun, fella.

Maggie, stop him.

If he kills me, little Thomas
will grow up without a father.

What?

What did you mean by that?

I don't know.
It just came out.

We got married...

had a son, named him
after your father, the General.

And you're Rembrandt.

Rembrandt Brown. We've been
together since the beginning.

You're like a brother to me.

A brother...
I got a brother.

I had a brother.

Don't move.

I wish I had a clue,
but I don't.

That place that... that
world, whatever it was,

where Quinn and I got
married and we had a son.

That existed only for us,
and only for a few hours.

There's no way that the
Kromaggs, or anybody else,

could have known about it.

You tellin' me that this
guy's Quinn? That's nuts.

I don't know who he is.

But he knows something
that only Quinn knows.

Maybe he's just some kind of
alternate we haven't seen before.

What?
Like a fraternal twin?

We've seen stranger things.

Not much.

Got about six hours here.

Not long.

We know they made the slide,
there's no point going back.

Look, maybe they landed
some place else on this Earth.

Now that's happened before.

Well, if Colin split up into
1,000 different directions

I don't know where
to begin looking for him.

I'm scared, Remmy.

Yeah. Me too.

And another thing, it was
night when we slid out.

Now it's day.

The wormhole must
have distorted time.

Q-Ball would know.

Well, if they made it, they'd
meet us back at the hotel.

We should go there.

Okay, we're going into town.

Maybe there's somebody
there who might know

who you are and what happened.

Fine with me. Lots
of people know me.

Just hope somebody knows you.

- Hey!
- It was empty.

What's their hurry?

Over here!

Leave it! Hurry!

I looked and there was
a pale green horse

and its rider's name was
Death, and hell followed with him!

I promise you, the
end of days is nigh.

Look to the skies!

There'll be hurricanes and
tornados and earthquakes,

and fire without end!

The heathen will be
ground into the dust,

consigned to an
eternity of pain!

Looks like
let's-get-outta-dodge day.

What's goin' on here, anyway?

Why do you two always
expect me to know everything?

Look, I'm gonna check for
Quinn and Colin at the desk.

Why don't you check out the bar?

We've had more of those
weird magnetic storms

in the Santa Clarita valley.

It's been raining in the
desert for 17 straight days now,

with no sign of stopping.

The temperatures will be in
the mid-70s this afternoon,

so there is some
good news to report.

Now back to Tawny for
tonight's missing persons report.

This is Paul Leonard.

I guess we're experiencing
some technical difficulties...

Hey, folks, what'll it be?

Uh, draft. You?

All right, make it three. I've
got another friend coming.

I have to get back to the lab.

Uh, Dr. Geiger'll
want a report.

Geiger?

He's my boss.

Well, he's more than
that. He cured me.

Well, wait, wait, wait. What...
What are you talking about?

This lab?
It's a hospital?

No.

I don't know.

Okay.

They haven't checked in yet.

Yeah, well they're
not in here either.

So how's fog boy doin'?

Babblin' about some
guy named Geiger.

Thanks.

Uh, listen, barkeep...

Oh no, call me Hal.

Okay, Hal. Look, folks around
here seem pretty worked up.

Yeah, what can I say?
It's the end of the world.

At least that's
what some of these bozos think.

And you don't?

Hey, now. My mamma
didn't raise no mouth breather.

Things these people buy into...

You guys wanna know
what I think?

It's all a government
plot. Yeah.

Part of a big experiment goin'
on at a secret lab outside of town.

Had a cousin used to work out
there 'til he got a little too curious,

if you know what I mean.

Yeah. They, uh... They
got a machine out there.

Call it the Combine, yeah.

You turn that puppy on,

whole world's gonna get
squashed like a bad melon.

That's a... That's a pretty
interesting theory there, Hal.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Ain't no theory, Jack.

You remember when
everybody got all worked up

about that elephant
clonin' over in England?

Well, let me tell you,
that was just a side show.

They've been clonin' people at
Quantico for the last five years.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, and
here's another thing.

How come everybody's got all
these black helicopters flyin' around?

Uh...

Hey, I think that's
for you there, fog boy.

Yes?

Intact? Am I intact?

Yeah.

What do you mean by
anomalies in the vortex?

Well, there were two
people in there with me.

No, I... I don't know them.

Yeah, they're here with me
right now at the Chandler Hotel.

Okay...

They're sending a van.

Dr. Wright,
report to stasis generator.

Dr. Wright...

I'm sure Dr. Davis will be able
to answer all your questions.

Quinn! I'm so glad
you're okay.

We were worried about you.

I'm Diana Davis. Welcome
to Geiger Applied Research.

Thank you for helping Quinn.

He's a very important
part of our work here.

Dr. Geiger is anxious
to talk to you.

Could you take him
to the lab right away?

Don't worry about
a thing, Quinn.

Your new friends will
be with me in my office.

You can join us as soon
as you're de-briefed.

Well, this must
all be very confusing to you.

Matter of fact.

If you'll come with me, I
think I'll be able to explain it all.

Quinn, I'm
glad to see you're well.

I couldn't be sure of the
result of the added mass

in the exotic matter
of the wormhole...

but things seem
to have gone well.

So, then, did it work?

Are you two people?

Well, I don't understand
how you happened to be

in the same vortex
with our test subject.

Well, it's the least
of what we don't understand.

Why don't you explain to us what
your test subject was doing in there?

Considering the circumstances,

I think it would be best if we
laid all our cards on the table.

I'm certainly willing
to do that.

As assistant director
of this lab,

I want to help you if I can.

Look, we're not scientists,

but one of our friends
who's missing, is.

His name is Quinn Mallory

and obviously your Quinn
Mallory is some kind of alternate.

Then there's Colin,
who's Quinn's brother...

It's a long story,
but basically,

I guess you could say
Remmy and I here,

are just along for the ride.

Where to?

I'm just tryin' to get home.

Yeah, well, there's
been complications.

We've, uh, made a few
enemies along the way.

Quinn Mallory invented the
sliding machine, and that timer.

This is counting
down from 4:38.

Yeah. It means we've got four hours
and 38 minutes until our next slide.

And if we don't make it...

You're stuck here
for the next 29 years.

How'd you know that?

It's one of the predicted
algorithms in the EPR Paradox.

Yeah, whatever.

It's been one of the
rules since the get-go.

All right, now you know
what we're doing here.

Ball's in your court.

We've been working with
a new piece of equipment

that Dr. Geiger
calls the Combine.

It's complicated,
but in lay terms,

we use it to extract healthy DNA
from trans-dimensional alternates.

Quinn Mallory was
our first test subject.

He was suffering a previously
incurable strain of muscular dystrophy.

By selectively
combining new DNA,

we were able to cure him.

Completely.

I want to know what
happened to me in there.

What happened to you in there

is exactly what I wanted
to happen to you in there.

We'll need to monitor you
for the next few hours

to make certain you're stable,

but I'm sure there's
nothing to worry about.

Have I ever let you down before?

- No.
- Good.

Then let's review
the data from the traverse.

The, uh, initial entry
phase seems normal.

Did you feel anything
strange at this point?

You mean aside from the fact
that I was flying out of control

through some hole
in the universe?

Look...

the quanta has reached a state
of maximum agitation.

I don't remember a lot about it.

I remember seeing
two men, though.

The collision
produced more energy

than the exotic matter
could contain.

That man came unanchored.

Is he alive?

I don't know.

He's now what we call
"unstuck" in space-time.

Unstuck?

He's in an unstable
state of flux.

He will spend
the rest of his life

involuntarily jumping from
one dimension to another.

The rest of his life?

Unless we can stabilize him
and anchor him in one universe.

Well, please say
you can do that.

It has been done, but
only once that I know of.

So then you do it twice.

All right, what about
Quinn? Is he unstuck too?

That's a different matter.

When our Quinn
entered the wormhole,

it must have caused some
kind of a dimensional nexus.

The physical appearance of the man
who came out of the vortex with you

is that of our Quinn...

but he seems to have
absorbed some or...

or maybe all of the sub-atomic
structure of your Quinn.

I don't get it.

You made this collision
happen on purpose?

Of course.

My calculations anticipated the opening
of the vortex in a parallel dimension.

The slight hold in the countdown

was to coordinate the
traverse on our side

with the initiation of the
vortex in the target world.

But those other guys,
they weren't part of the deal.

They had no idea that
this was gonna happen.

They are now participants

in one of the greatest adventures
in the history of science.

This was a very unfortunate
side effect of the experiment.

Unfortunate?

One of our friends is unstuck

and the other is tangled
up inside another man.

I'm terribly sorry.

Yeah, well, sorry
doesn't cut it, lady.

Now it was your equipment
that caused all of this...

this unstuck business.

So now it can just
un-unstick it.

Those guys never had a chance.

What kind of science is that?

The most advanced science
in the history of the cosmos!

Who are you to question my work?

You came to me in a wheelchair!

You walk now because
of what I did for you!

One of those men may
be missing. It's unfortunate.

But the other is still
with us, in a way.

He's inside you.

I promise you we will put this
entire lab to work on this problem.

Will that solve it?

I wish I could tell you
for certain, but I can't.

I can only promise you
we'll do our best.

So what can we do to help?

You said you weren't scientists.

However, you are
trans-dimensional travelers,

which is of great
interest to us.

I'm sure Dr. Geiger would
be eager to study you.

No ma'am. No way.

No. We're not interested
in your studies. Thank you.

Running out of time there.
You'd better get busy.

I assure you, that if this
problem can be solved,

this is the only place in this
world where it can be done.

You've gotta trust me.

I promise I will do everything
to get your friends back.

I want to trust you,
as always. But...

I am having thoughts and
memories that I just don't understand.

According to my calculations,

this is only
a temporary condition.

The persona of the other man

will eventually be entirely
subsumed in your own.

You have to look
at the big picture.

You are now a key component

in the creation of a
whole new way of life.

A new universe.

The way is now clear
to combine entire cities,

even worlds.

The dimensional compression that
could lead to a recombinant universe...

would cause some form of
elemental collapse on a cosmic scale.

For one thing,
you'd have to account

for the allocation of
an almost infinite mass.

Welcome to my lab,
Mr. Mallory.

I think you'll find plenty
here to occupy that...

excellent mind of yours.

You know, I'm not sure if this
is the end of this world for real,

but it sure feels like it to me.

And no matter what she said,

I don't think findin'
Quinn and Colin

is at the top
of anybody's list here.

Well, she said this was the only
lab in the world that could handle this.

What's the alternative?

I keep askin' myself that.

Keep tryin' to think
what would Quinn do?

But I keep comin' up short
because I'm not Quinn.

Nobody is.

Well I... I decided
one thing.

If these people can't put things
back together by the time we slide,

I'm not goin'.

What? Just like that? I mean,
shouldn't we talk about this?

What's the point of going on?

I don't have a world
left to go to.

Quinn, well...

Quinn was my world.

And if we're gonna find him
and Colin, it's gonna be here.

If here stays here.

Look, whatever we do,

we do together.

You stay. I stay.

Oh, yeah.
Then in 29 years,

we'll just hobble off into the
next dimension on our walkers.

You speak for yourself, girl.
I'll still be in my prime.

I bet you will.

Guys, we've gotta stop it.

- Stop what?
- Oberon Geiger.

He's the head of this lab.

He's collapsing universes
into one another.

I... I was just a guinea pig
to see if the Combine works.

I mean, their Quinn
was the guinea pig.

I just got pulled inside him.

It's so clear to me now.

By creating a single universe,

Geiger is creating
a quantum vibrational rate

that his body can align with.

He'll no longer be unstuck.

Why didn't I see it before?

'Cause you didn't have our
friend in your head before.

Like Colin, Geiger is
unstuck in space-time.

He can only exist inside
that force field at the lab.

If he has his way,

and he can combine universes,

he'll destroy all those worlds
and kill billions of people.

He has to be stopped.

Who's gonna do it?

We are.

There's nobody else.

Diana, this is an exciting day.

Yes, I suppose it is.

You suppose?

You know how long
I've waited for this.

The Combine has achieved
a dimensional nexus.

We have a recombinant life form.

The way to more advanced
experimentation is now clear.

I'm concerned about what
this has done to Quinn.

Oh no. I've spoken
with the boy.

He understands he's part of an
exciting new wave of exploration.

I don't think he was
intellectually or psychologically

prepared for what
has happened to him.

As a matter of fact,
neither was I.

Diana, you were my best student.

You will, no doubt,
succeed me in this work.

Today was one of those
fortuitous moments in research

that make the journey
so exciting.

It's the moment...

The moment the Curies
turned off the light

and saw radium glowing
in the dark for the first time.

As scientists,
we have to be prepared

to exploit breakthroughs
when they come.

Exploiting breakthroughs
is one thing.

Exploiting people
is something else.

When he first came to us,
Quinn Mallory couldn't walk,

and the doctors had given
him no hope whatsoever.

Look at him now.

And then imagine

a world without
hunger or disease.

Through the Combine
we can achieve such a place.

This amalgamate Quinn is
just a... a temporary distortion.

It proves that my calculations

for combining dimensions work.

But what about the other
Quinn? And his brother?

I promised their companions

that we would do
everything we could

to re-constitute their friends.

Well then, I'm sure you'll want
to head up that project yourself.

Dr. Geiger, there is a
limited amount of time.

They have no control
over a timer

which governs their
dimensional travel.

And have you considered that they
might be valuable to our own research?

Of course.

But they are understandably
reluctant to cooperate.

Still, they, uh, they may
have something to teach us.

Keep me informed of your
progress on their little problem.

Diana, as soon as you've
helped your new friends,

I need your full
attention back here.

I'm initiating a new
countdown on the Combine.

The next traverse will be
on a much larger scale.

I have been adrift
between worlds

for what seems like centuries.

Through the work
that we're about to do,

not only will this Earth
be a better place,

but it will finally be a
place where I can live.

Have a normal life again.

I need you.
Now more than ever.

I haven't pieced
it all together,

but what I know from working
there, and what I know from...

from, well, being this
other person that I am,

this Geiger is definitely
your textbook megalomaniac.

He has to stay in some
kind of a special room

protected by
a magnetic force field.

It may be what keeps him
anchored in this dimension.

And what if he
loses that anchor?

Probably the same thing
that happened to Colin.

He'll come apart.

That he is able to
anchor himself

is our only hope we have
to get Colin back.

But you said we
have to stop him.

We do.

And then we make him
put our lives back together.

An hour and 10 minutes.

We gotta go get Diana.

Yeah.

I have to talk to you.
We need your help.

I'm trying to help.

There may not be time for that.

Your boss is up to no good.

And we need your
help to stop him.

Why would I want to do that?

And you're just a lab assistant.

How could you possibly understand
what we're trying to do here?

Because of what
Dr. Geiger did,

I am no longer
just a lab assistant.

You asked for me?

Young Mr. Mallory
and our visitors

seem to be interrupting
Dr. Davis's work.

Experiments have already
disrupted life on this Earth.

Now, if Geiger gets his way,

he'll do the same thing on
parallel universes as well.

You don't understand
what we're doing here.

You know, maybe you're the
one who doesn't understand.

Please bring our guests
in here to see me.

And young Mr. Mallory
with them.

You're the only
one that can help us.

But, before you try to
reconstitute our friends,

you have to stop
this experiment.

If you don't, we may not
have a chance to do anything.

And from what I hear, if Geiger
succeeds, we may not even be here.

Dr. Geiger'd like
to speak with you.

If you'd come with me
please. You too, Mr. Mallory.

Not you, Dr. Davis.

Just these three.

Welcome to my laboratory.

My name is Oberon Geiger.

Forgive me for not
welcoming you sooner,

but I've been rather involved.

I look forward to hearing
about your experiences

in the different dimensions
you have been visiting.

Some other time.

We have only about
an hour left before

we have to make the next slide.

Yes, I've heard about the
difficulty with your timer.

Your assistant said she was
gonna help re-constitute our friends.

I know Diana has been giving
her full attention to that matter,

but unfortunately,

I don't think an hour
will be enough time.

But I might be able to help.

Give her a little extra
time to complete the work.

And how could you do that?

Well, as you were told,

we're involved in advanced
dimensional research here.

And I have what you
might call a stasis generator

that could stop your timer.

That would give us plenty of
time to reconstitute your friends,

and then you could
go on your way.

You, uh, only need to put
the timer on the platform.

The timer
doesn't leave my hands.

Nor mine.

Well, fair enough.

Then you can both
step up there and hold it.

I can assure you,

it will do you
absolutely no harm.

Of course, if, uh, you have
another way to solve the problem,

I would be happy to hear it.

Now then, Mr. Mallory,

would you care to explain what
you were doing with these people?

What happened?
Where are we?

It's just a guess, but I'd
have to say we're nowhere.

Has the timer stopped?

No.

I knew those people
were important,

or dangerous or something.

I didn't trust them
from the beginning.

Then why didn't you tell
me about this? Or security?

I haven't been able
to think straight

since I went into the wormhole.

I'm tryin' to be me,

but this other guy...

You're returning to your
old self ahead of schedule.

Not soon enough for me.

Now, I have a lot of work to do.

We'll talk again when the
experiment is complete.

Keep an eye on him.

When he opened up
the sixth seal,

the sun became
as black as sackcloth,

the full moon became like blood,

and the stars of the
sky fell to the Earth.

And the sky vanished
like a scroll.

Oh, hide us from
the wrath of the lamb,

for the great day of wrath has
come and who is able to stand?

Who is able to stand?

The radar shows
this unusual cloud cover

extending all the way from
Catalina to Palm Springs.

There are reports of lightning
caused brush fires in the Inland Empire

and the San Gabriel Valley is reporting
wind gusts up to 80 miles an hour.

I have never seen anything
quite like this, have you, Tawny?

I'm having trouble with this
reconfiguration formula.

I'm not sure I can make it
before the timer runs out.

Where are Rembrandt and Maggie?

Geiger zapped them
with that laser projector.

I don't know where they went.

What?
Don't be ridiculous.

I saw it. It was the same thing
you used on me this morning.

They could be trapped in
some weird tunnel like I was.

I think you're still a little disoriented
from the traverse this morning.

Listen to me, this is Quinn
Mallory speaking now.

Not the one you know.

Geiger has imprisoned my friends
because they were trying to get

you to help them stop him.

He's about to put a
terrible force into operation.

It could well destroy this
entire planet and everyone on it.

I am going to find out
exactly what is going on here.

You stay right here
until I get back.

Ah, good. I was
just about to call you.

So far, so good. All
the readings are normal.

I think you had better tell me
exactly what we're doing here.

Of course.

You're absolutely
correct, my dear.

Until our recent success
with young Mr. Mallory,

our work here has been
almost entirely theoretical.

The nature of our
ultimate goal has been such

that I couldn't trust
anyone with it.

Until now.

I have entered
the final calculations

to bring the dimensional nexus
force up to the macro level.

These are the coordinates
for Los Angeles.

But not this one.

A city that exists
in a parallel universe.

Buildings, roads,

homes, automobiles...

And people?

According to my best
calculations,

the people in this city
may well not even be

aware of the change
in their surroundings,

their lives or themselves.

Quinn Mallory is quite aware
of what has happened to him.

Yes and that knowledge has
seemed to have faded away

in a matter of hours.

Our dim, but
faithful lab assistant

seems to be himself again.

Diana, you have trusted me
every step of the way of this project.

You know me!
You know my motives.

Now that we are
so close to success,

you have to trust me
more than ever.

The city that will result
from this recombination

will almost certainly be better
than the one that we have.

Cleaner, safer.

But what if it isn't?
And even if it is better,

you are imposing your
will on unsuspecting people,

changing who they are.

Who are you to make
such a decision?

Time is short,
the experiment is underway.

We will have our
little ethics debate

after we view the results.

Security, this is Geiger.

Proceed to Dr. Davis's lab.

Secure
Mr. Mallory and bring him to me here.

It appears our lab assistant
is not as dim as you thought.

This alternate Quinn is a
very arrogant young man.

And apparently
a very talented one.

Please show
Mr. Mallory to the platform.

What are you doing?

Putting Mr. Mallory
in a place

where he cannot
interfere with our work.

Activate.

No!

Stop her!

Diana!

Whoa, slow down, big guy.

Drop the gun and kick it to me.

No!

Argh!

Then another portent
appeared in heaven,

a great red dragon with
seven heads and 10 horns.

His tail swept a third
of the stars of heaven

and threw them to the Earth!

What's happening?
Oh, my gosh.

Or not.

Thank you.

The latest computer printout
from our weather satellite

shows the cloud cover
has completely dissipated.

Winds have dropped to normal...

So, Tawny, it looks
like we're going to have

a typical southern
California day.

How much time, Remmy?

Under two minutes.

I'm goin' with you.

It's the only chance I got.

Who's doin' the talkin'?

Let's do it for Colin,
Wade, the Professor,

and I think I
owe you a 70 Deville.

All right. Let's just continue
being gentlemen here, shall we?

What about you?

I don't know.

Look, you got about 30
seconds to make up your mind.

You're the only hope
we have of getting our friends back.

And since he's coming with us,

it's the only chance you're gonna
have to get your Quinn back too.

What you're doing
here is just theory.

We're giving you the
chance to do it for real.

I'll need a few things.

Diana, let's go!

He saved us again,
and he wasn't even here.

After you!

Oh, come on. The
first step is easy.

It's the last one you
have to look out for.
