All language subtitles for The Outer Limits (1995) - S07E05 - The Vessel - [DVD][480p][x265 10-bit][AAC 2.0]

The space shuttle Inspire,
returns to earth tonight

after 10 days in orbit,

bearing a very
unlikely passenger,

Jacob Worthy,

known for both his
bestselling nonfiction

and his audacious personality,

became the first author
in space on this mission,

It will be interesting to see how
his outsider's take on the experience

meshes with the image
conscious space program,

As the first
author in space,

this the part where I am
supposed to get all gooey-eyed

and humble,

Look out at that big blue marble

and wax on and on and wonder
about secure blessings

of liberty for
generations to come,

Sorry, folks,

But,
the account of this experience

isn't going to talk about
the tranquil sea of space

or the courage of those
landed-god pioneers

who explored the unknown,

It's going to be the
unvarnished truth,

Shuttle Inspire,
this is Mission Control,

Once you initiate, the burden will
last for two minutes and 50 seconds,

Entry interface will
occur 28 minutes later,

Now, that's three minutes
before communication blackout,

Roger that, Jim,

Tell Cathy to get those
ham hocks simmering,

I got a mean craving for
some red beans and rice,

Commander McCarty
smells home cooking,

I smell a seven figure advance,

Unfortunately,
I may have to shatter some illusions

to get there,

It's a dirty job,

but a hero's work is never done,

Jake, I need you to
prepare for re-entry,

Time to buckle up,

Whoopie,

And the Inspire is now
in its final descent

over the Kennedy Space
Center in Florida

All right,
we got way too much soup,

So we'll go to
instrument approach,

tactical error and
application online,

Look, your glide slope's
just, uh, too steep,

Pitch it up +8 degrees theta,

Runway zone should be appearing

on the top of your combiner,

Prepare to deploy landing gear,

Roger that,

Air speed 300 knots,

altitude 250 feet,

Control,
I am reading hydraulic system one

pressure not
available to release,

Uplock hook,

Deploy pyrotechnic initiator,

Repeat,

Deploy pyrotechnic initiator,

Yeah,
it won't deploy, Jim,

It's not budging,

Too steep, Inspire,

Okay, okay, uh,,,

Ears booming,,,

But, your nose is
under the horizon,

Come on, pull up!

Strut failure,
Sparks everywhere,

There is nothing
wrong with your television,

Do not attempt to
adjust the picture,

We are now controlling
the transmission,

We control the horizontal
and the vertical,

We can deluge you with
a thousand channels

or expand one single
image to crystal clarity

and beyond,

We can shape your vision

to anything our
imagination can conceive,

For the next hour,

we will control all
that you see and hear,

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from
the deepest inner mind

to The Outer Limits,

It is said that those
who survive a brush with death,

see the world anew,

But what if that second chance,

became a second life?

Welcome back, Jake,

How you feeling?

Like hell,

Where am I?

It's our debriefing center,

outside Seattle,

What happened?

The shuttle exploded when
it attempted to land,

Exploded?

That's right,

What about the crew?

I,,, I'm afraid we lost them,

Everyone?

Afraid so,

How did I get out alive?

We're still trying
to sort it out,

You walked out of that fire

but other than being
covered with soot,

there were no broken bones,
no lacerations, no injuries of any kind

as far as we can tell,

You collapsed shortly after
walking away from the wreckage

and you've pretty much been
asleep for the last 48 hours,

Nothing short of a
miracle, Jake,

Don't talk to me about miracles,

What the hell happened?

Well, I am afraid we
don't have an easy explanation,

That's why you're here,

So as soon as you're up to it,
we would like to begin the debriefing,

De-briefing? What?

Why am I in isolation?

What am I, quarantined?

No, it's just a
routine precaution,

Nothing showing up on
our preliminary tests,

Well, I have got to get to New
York, okay?

My editor is expecting pages,

Well, nobody is going anywhere

until Dr, Bader here certifies
that you're safe to go home,

So in the meantime,

we'd like to see about
getting some answers,

It's been days,
When do I get out of here?

Just, uh,
try to relax, Mr, Worthy,

Oh, yeah!

Yeah, right, I'll relax,
What are you people? Crazy?

I don't even have a phone,
Even a prisoner gets a phone call,

So, Jake, -

Let's talk about the mission,

Do you remember an
electrical disturbance

that happened on
the second day out?

What?

The blackout,

The instruments went haywire
for a couple of minutes,,,

We lost contact
with the shuttle,

Oh, right,
Yeah, the uh,,,

Commander said something about
hitting an electromagnetic field,

but I am the last one you ask
about whatever the hell that was,

Well, at this point,
I am afraid you're the only person

that we can ask,

God!

Are you all right, Mr, Worthy?

Yeah,

It's these migraines,
I feel like somebody's

lobbing grenades
around inside my skull,

The nurse will give
you something for it

as soon as the
debriefing is over,

This electrical disturbance

what does that,
what does that have to do with

whatever happened to me?

We think that there may have been far
more serious damage to the shuttle systems

than we had first anticipated,

The navigational controls,

the landing gear,
both malfunctioned on re-entry,

Well, that sure as
hell doesn't explain

how I survived a blast like
that, does it?

No, it doesn't,

The NSA is expecting me

to report on your
preliminary findings by 2200,

What am I supposed to tell them?

A man walks through an inferno hot
enough to vaporize exotic alloys

with nothing but dehydration and
crushing migraines to show for it,

I cannot offer you a
scientific explanation

because there is no
scientific explanation,

Couldn't something have happened
in the explosion itself,

something that shielded
him from its fury?

What are you not telling me?

Jake Worthy was given an exhaustive
physical before the mission,

just like the rest of the crew,

Dr, Bader can tell you
there was nothing abnormal

about the man that
we sent up there,

And now?

There were second and
third degree burns

that were observed by the
emergency workers on the ambulance,

By the time they got to the
ER, they were gone,

The skin was
virtually unblemished,

DR, BADER: I'm
reluctant to speculate,

but somehow his body's
natural healing properties

have, uh, accelerated,

Gentlemen,
I don't need to tell you

the potential
significance of all this,

If you would just allow
us to complete our test

before making any report to
the National Security agency,

I can stall them a day,

Maybe two,

But eventually,
this is going to the president,

Ah, Mr, Worthy has a visitor,

It's his ex-wife,

I don't think we want him
talking to the public just yet,

We can make it clear to Jake

what the perimeters are and we
can monitor his conversation,

I suggest it would
lessen press speculation

if we allow some limited
contact with the outside world,

I'll need approval,

Hello, Jake,

Well, I'll be damned,

How are you, Alexis?

The question is how are you?

Well, I have always been
able to walk on water,

I guess, I am just,,,

,,, expanding my repertoire,

I wasn't even going
to watch the landing,

I was afraid that you might say
something to the press you'd regret,

Moi?

It was so terrifying,

I sat there and came
apart at the seams,

It was like losing
Timothy all over again,

Yeah, well,

at least this time God picked
on someone his own size,

It wasn't always like this,

When Timothy was alive and I could
drag you away from your work,

Yeah, well, it was my work that

put food on our the
table, Do you remember?

I never said you
weren't a good provider,

No, just a cold unfeeling
son of a bitch, right?

I don't believe
that for a minute,

Do you want you know
what I really think?

I think that if you
had let yourself grieve

after we lost Timmy,,,

I'll tell you what,
Alexis, if I want advice

on how and when to grieve,
I'll give you a call, okay?

I guess I'll go now,

What is it, Jake?

Headache, I'll get over it,

You said you were going
to teach me how to ride,

You said you were
gonna teach me how to ride,

Dad, Daddy!

Good morning, Jake,

Huh?

I said good morning,

Yesterday you were ravenous,
today you haven't touched your breakfast,

That's not true,

I had a banana,

And an entire shaker of salt,

No ill effects?

No,

What about the headaches?

They're getting worse,
I hope you got something stronger,

I'll talk to Dr, Bader,

Okay,

Well, that was, uh,
quite a creative spurt last night,

I was delirious,

My fingers ran away with me,

So you have no idea
what significance

those symbols or
those numbers had?

No, Why, do you?

No, it's just that you
were very prolific,

It was over 100 pages,

And, uh,,,
What about the drawings?

I was doodling and
that's what came out,

When do I get out
of this fish bowl?

Listen, Jake, I was wondering

if you would be up
to seeing someone?

Is this where you roll
out the head shrinkers?

It's Commander McCarty's widow,

Great,

Mr, Worthy,
they don't want me to stay very long,

I just wondered

during the mission,
if Phil said anything,

anything personal
about me or Grady?

To be honest with you, I, uh,,,

I spent most of my
time on my journals,

I was busy writing,

So I don't think
your husband and I

exchanged more than
half a dozen words,

I see,

Oh,

I don't know maybe if I,,,

Yeah, he did say something
about, um,,,

,,, your son and what
a handsome boy he was,

And he got his looks from you,

You didn't have to make it up,

Excuse me?

Grady was adopted,

Phil never would have said that,

It didn't have to be much,
I just wanted something small,

something true, something,,,

,,, that I could hang on to,

I didn't ask to be
the one who survived,

Well, they tell me that
it all happened so fast

that he didn't feel any pain,

I am grateful for that anyway,

My son,

our son,

he wants to go up
there like Phil,

That's what kids do, they dream,

I don't
know what to tell him,

I couldn't bear to lose him,

Could you imagine what
that would be like?

Yes, I think I can,

As soon as I finish this EEG, I'll give
you an injection for those migraines,

I was gonna suggest
the guillotine,

You always dress like
this for inoculations?

The word around here is
you're pretty special

I could have told you that,

What is it?

Nothing,
It's just your brain activity,

I don't think I have seen the
needles jump like this before,

Better than being brain
dead, I suppose,

The lump,

I'm sorry?

The small lump on
your left breast,

It's a fluid filled cyst,

It's completely benign,

Years ago, the French
government funded research

into what was known as
the Pre Aura project,

It applied
electromagnetic energy

into the terminal tumors
of laboratory animals,

Now, by altering the electrical
currents within cells,

there were able to
time reverse them back

to an earlier state,
to a healthy state,

Of course,
that explains his cravings for salt,

And potassium rich
food like bananas,

All of it increases the
conductivity of his blood,

Something occurred during that
brief electromagnetic event

on the second day of
the Inspire's mission,

Something that,
that altered Jake Worthy's body,

You're telling us that his
body uses electrical currents

to heal itself?

Reduced to its essence, yes,

And it may have altered
more than his body,

My nurse tells me that he diagnosed
a medical condition in her

that she only just
confirmed with her doctors,

I meant to teach you to ride a
bike, I swear to God,

Daddy,

Daddy!

Daddy! Daddy!

Daddy!

Hey!

Let me out of here!

You hear me?

I can't take it!

I can't take it anymore!

I can't see him,

You're telling me he survived
a hit of 50, 000 volts?

If there is one thing we
learnt, General,

is that Jake Worthy appears to
be impervious to physical injury,

What about his state of mind?

I'm afraid we can't be
definitive, General,

We know that if he
tries to harm himself

he won't be successful,

for reasons that
are all too obvious,

More to the point,
is he a threat to the others?

Ask the security guard
he knocked unconscious,

I warned them about using
civilians on these flights,

Who knows what he'll
say to the press,

Can you imagine the
panic he will create?

Now what do we know for
certain about this phenomenon

you have documented?

That it defies all reason,

The real problem is that
without further tests

we could never fully understand

how he could be
altered so profoundly,

I want Worthy found
and brought back,

I'll authorize whatever
manpower is required,

Just get the man back,

Sorry to bother
you, Mrs, McCarty,

Mr, Worthy?
My God, what happened?

May I?

No one can know I am here,

so I'd appreciate it if
you didn't call USAS,

What's this about?

I'm scaring you,
I don't mean to,

No, it,,,

-They must be looking for you,
-This will just take a minute,

Um,,,

I feel like our conversation
wasn't finished,

To be honest I was, uh,,,

I was completely insensitive,
I had no right to patronize you,

You asked an honest question

and you deserve
an honest answer,

Um,,,

You're husband told me a story,

The night before the crash,

I put it out of my mind because
I was jealous, I was angry,

Really, I was angry

that he had a wife and
child to come home to

and all I had was
an impatient editor

and a bunch of so
called friends,

who loathe me as much
as I loathe them,

You don't have to do this,

He told me about
the night that,,,

,,, he told you he was
picked for the assignment

and how happy you
pretended to be,

even though he knew
you were dying inside,

And how brave you were,

And how giving,

And that he was one lucky son,,,

S-O-B,

That's all,

Thank you, Mr, Worthy,

You're gonna need some clothes,

You can go through
Phil's things,

You'd probably need some cash,,,

Your husband was a good
man, Catharine,

Let's see about those clothes,

Audrey, damn it!

Will you stop worrying about
how tough things are for you?

I spent the night on the
street, Remember?

Audrey, listen to me,

You're my editor, Listen to me!

If I can get all of
this down on paper,

I am going to blow the roof
off of the publishing industry,

I am telling you,,,

No, I can't,,,

I can't come to New
York, Audrey!

They're all over the
place, They're after me!

That's what I'm trying,,,

Audrey, listen to me,

Something is happening to me,
something I don't understand,

I don't know, It's like, uh,,,

It's like I'm being watched,

it's like I'm being
observed, I don't know,

Like I'm being judged,,,

,,, from the inside, I don't,,,

Look, I can't explain it,

I know it sounds crazy,
but it's happening!

You gotta trust me on this,

No, no, no, no, no,

I will call you,

Rent's
paid by the week,

We don't allow any loud music,

or pets,

or any kind of carrying on,

I just need a quiet
place to work,

What was it you said you did?

I'm a writer,

Okay,

Uh, sheets and towels,
pillow cases, uh,

kitchen things,

You got pretty much
everything you need,

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine,

What am I doing?
Why am I doing this?

Why did I call
Catharine McCarty?

Why the hell were my wisdom teeth
extracted without anesthetic?

I'd apologize to someone
for being callous,

That's who I am for God sake!

It's always been that way,
Jake Worthy against the unworthy,

the undeserving, the unwashed,

What's happening to me?

It's unreal, it's a
fever, it's a sickness,

It's a nightmare,
That's what it is,

And I am going to wake up,

God help me if I don't,

It's not the technology
that makes these things go,

it's not the gizmos,

It's the humans,
Flawed as they may be,

What the hell is going on?

The instruments
are going crazy!

Okay, we're back online,

Give me
a full system status,

McCARTY: You, okay,
back there, Jake?

Yeah,

A-Okay,

Here,

Let me help you with that,

I'm telling you, Audrey,

This thing,
it's making me crazy,

I see a kid on a bicycle,

I turn into a blubbering idiot,

I'm helping old ladies
with their groceries,

Does that sound like
the man you know?

I can't
control my thoughts,

I can't control my actions,

It's turning me inside out,

Hey, stop!

Jake! Jake!

Just me your money!

Don't hurt me!

Please help me,

It's all right,
We are going to get you help,

You're going to make
it, You hear me?

How did you do that?

We got a lead on our man,

He made a series of calls
to his literary agent

from a phone booth
in downtown Seattle,

Check in every hotel and
flophouse in the vicinity,

General, we've finished
running, uh, computer programs

on the electromagnetic event
on day two of the mission,

-And? -Well,
it didn't show up on the instruments,

but apparently there
was a corruption

of the programing's of
the onboard computers,

and once the landing
routine kicked in,

the air began to compound,

What was it? Some kind of virus?

I don't know,
I wouldn't begin to characterize it,

But it just overwhelmed
the computers,

And there's ample evidence
it may have infected

more than the shuttle's systems,

Dr, Bader believes the transformation
of Worthy's body chemistry

may have happened at
the very same time,

It's all right, Jake!

The pain will subside,

What are you?

A stranger,

Much like you,

You saved my life,

I was only returning a favor,

I don't understand,

Our ship collided with a meteor,

Our bodies were reduced
to electrical impulses,

The others faded into
the ether one by one

and I was the last survivor,

I had only hours left
when I found your craft,

So you entered my body?

I had no choice,

I would have died
without a suitable host,

Why me?

There were six others
aboard that craft,

It could have been anyone,
You were the nearest vessel,

I'm going off to deep end,

This isn't happening,
You're a figment of my imagination,

I didn't know beings like
you were possible either,

So, you entered my body,

you merged with me,

so you could stay alive,

That's right,

But you are not in me now,

No,

So, you don't need me anymore?

The only way I could
leave your body

was through the
machine we built,

We have a machine, So,
you don't need me anymore,

I'll die, Jake,

If it was the machine, I could only
exist outside of you for a short while,

I'm not even sure how long
I'll live inside of you,

I find,
I'm growing weaker by the hour,

Wait a minute,

You're the reason this,,,
This ship crashed,

That electrical disturbance they
were talking about, that was you!

I never intended it,

You have to believe me,

Because of you,
six people are dead and,,,

You almost took me as well,

And in weighs upon me
more than you could know,

but together we can make amends,

You've already
witnessed a miracle,,,

I hate what you've
done, do you understand?

I want my life back,

I wanna be the person I
was before you invaded me,

A man who used to care
about no one but himself,

I've seen your thoughts,

The anger, the loneliness,

So, that's it,

This guilt, these,,,
These pangs of conscience,

that was made all up,,,

That's you,

Is that what you believe?

You have no right
to take me over!

I'm bleeding,

-Your powers of healing
will disappear, -Good,

I don't wanna be
some freak of nature,

You lost your child to
cancer, didn't you?

I don't wanna talk about it,

You think about it all the time,

How do you know
what I think about?

You don't know
anything about me!

Perhaps you're right,

Perhaps I've given you
the benefit of the doubt,

Why couldn't I have had
the power when it mattered,

when I could save my son's life?

We've both experienced
loss, Jake,

My mate,

my child,

both died when that
meteor hit our ship,

It was a grief I wish no
one else ever has to know,

It's overloading!

God Almighty!

-How's he doing?
-He's heavily sedated,

Anything turn up
on the brain scan?

Yes, and it's quite troubling,

Now, you'll notice the most of
the synaptic array reads normal,

That's the blue shades here,

here, here,

And the reddish color?

It's my conclusion Mr,
Worthy's neurological engrams

have been hijacked by this,
this creature you described,

You're telling us what,

that half his brain

has been taken over
by this other being?

Oh, it's more than that,

I believe it's continuing to
encroach in every key region,

from the autonomic to
motor and the sensory,

to higher cognitive function,

At the rate displacement
is occurring,

I would suggest that
72 hours from now,

there'll be no more Jake Worthy,

I can assure you we're not gonna
allow things to get that far,

What are you proposing that we
do, General?

Find some answers, damn it!

Our best experts have been
unable to come up with a reason

for this machine's existence,

We have no idea what the
agenda of this creature is!

What we do know,
is that it's made the body it's occupied

virtually indestructible!

That's all the more reason to
study its incredible properties,

Curing life-threatening
diseases, treating injuries,

Don't forget this eerie
little sprite of yours

caused a crash that bought
down a billion dollar shuttle

and killed most of its crew,

We have no idea what's gonna happen
once it gets up ahead of steam,

Worthy will have to be sacrificed so
that we can eliminate that threat,

We don't have a whole hell
of a lot of choice, do we?

We gotta find a way to reduce
the creature in him to dust,

My God!
We devote billions in resources,

countless lifetimes of manpower,

in order to look for intelligent
life outside our planet,

and what do we do the
minute we find it?

We order its destruction!

Look, the MEG gives a pretty
good map of the affected areas,

Now, based on that,

I believe that we can selectively
target the invading brain activity

with pinpoint radiation,

Now, if my theory is cracked,

we just might be able to
rid him of the invader

without irreparable harm,

Theories?

You know what's frightening?
Is that nobody can assure me

that we can kill this thing!

But what I do know,
is that we've got to try,

Jake,

I'm trapped inside you,

And it's slowly
killing both of us,

It's clear now,
we can't co-exist,

If you're going to survive
this, I've got to die,

He didn't ask for much,

You know, I,,,

He just wanted me to teach
about, uh,

how to ride a bike
without training wheels,

I missed his
birth because I,,,

I wouldn't cancel a trip,

Tell me, do I have more of a
right to this body than you do?

Listen to me,

We don't have much time,

If you're gonna survive this,

you gotta do exactly
as I tell you,

Harold, he's awake,
He wants to talk to us,

High intensity meson bombardment
to all the, uh, the affected areas,

Well, you should know that,
that kind of radiation

holds the risk of serious
collateral damage,

Look at me,

It's my only chance,

You have to trust me,
it's the only way,

Since when did you become
a medical authority, Jake?

Let's just say I was
given a crash course,

Why should we believe anything this,
this thing communicates to you?

It's benign,

It's more than that,
it's good and it's decent,

And it's willing to sacrifice
its life to save mine,

We could try a moderate
dose of meson radiation,

measure it's effect on the invading
engrams and then decide from there,

I won't lie to you, Jake,

if Dr, Bader can't find an effective
way to purge this creature,

you are looking at the
gravest possible measures,

So I guess I don't have
much to lose, do I?

Are you ready, Jake?

Hell, yes,

He's here,

How's he doing?

Jake is doing as well
as could be expected,

considering what he's
been subjected to,

But even better,

all signs of the invasive brain
activity have been eradicated,

You're certain?

Take a look yourself,

Even the moderate dose began to eat
away at it, so I went for broke,

The red areas that we
determined were the creature's,

are gone completely,

All indications are that the
brain, it's back to normal,

Thank God,

The hell we've done
the right thing,

I still need one more assurance,

This is gonna hurt, Jake,

God, I hope so,

No healing, General,

Okay,

But let's give it a few minutes,

It's gone,

I can feel it,

DR, BADER: Oh, my God,

What's wrong?

I just had a scary thought,

What if the electrical
activity in the red areas

we assumed were
taking over his brain,

were actually Jake's?

What the hell are you saying?

If the creature's synapses
were actually in retreat,

then we would have killed off the
wrong inhabitant of Jake Worthy's body,

Your father loved you very
much, Timothy,

And he missed you,

until the day he died,

Tell me what I have to do,

Buy some time,

I'm dying, Jake,

In two-three days the most,

there won't be a trace of me,

Meson bombardment is the only
thing that might bring me back,

But you'll never survive
it, Jake,

Never,

I understand,

"How do you make up
for a life time of mistakes?

"A life of squandered
opportunities,

"For once I had to
make the right choice,

"to leave behind something
that could make a difference,

"That legacy,

"my otherworldly friend,

"that legacy is you,"

Few of us have the
opportunity to truly begin again,

to redress the flaws
that tarnish our souls,

But only when we
remake ourselves,

can we remake the world,
