Original subtitles

EVEN THE CORONER DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF THIS ONE.

WHY IS IT YOU AND I ALWAYS END UP IN DARK CORRIDORS TOGETHER?

JUST LUCKY, I GUESS.

*

WHAT WAS THAT?

WHAT WAS WHAT?

NOTHING.

IT'S IN HERE.

A REAL STOMACH CHURNER, IS IT?

YES, SIR.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE A BREAK.

THANK YOU.

IT'S OKAY.

HER SKULL CRACKED ON IMPACT.

AND SHE'S PROBABLY SUFFERED

A TORN LIVER,

SEVERED SPLEEN,

SHEARED HEART.

WELL, IF THE IMPACT DIDN'T KILL HER

THE INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL BLEEDING DID.

OH, MAN.

CAUSE OF DEATH:

UNCONTROLLED FALL.

FROM 8 FEET?

.ELEOA, WE7LA3AoS

MANY THEORIES, RUMOURS AND STORIES REVOLVE AROUND

A PARANORMAL OCCURRENCE DURING WORLD WAR II

KNOWN AS THE PHILADELPHIA EXPERIMENT--

WHEREIN A WARSHIP AND ITS CREW SUPPOSEDLY SHIFTED THROUGH TIME.

THE O.S.I.R. DIDN'T EXIST THEN, BUT IN CASE FILE 600-001

ITS INVESTIGATORS CONFRONTED A SIMILAR EVENT:

THE PALIMPSEST EFFECT.

*

LOOK AT THE FLOOR.

IT'S COMPLETELY BUCKLED.

SEE THE WAY THE BLOOD POOLED?

SHE WASN'T DRAGGED IN FROM ANYWHERE.

HOW ARE THE ENVIRONMENTALS?

NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY.

YEAH, EXCEPT HER.

THE SOIL COMPRESSIBILITY TESTS WERE NORMAL.

EARTH UNDER THE FOUNDATION'S ROCK SOLID.

LET'S CALCULATE THE VELOCITY

SHE'D NEED TO BE TRAVELLING WHEN SHE HIT.

HEAR THAT?

THERE'S NO SEISMIC ACTIVITY AROUND HERE.

NO SUBWAY.

ANY CONSTRUCTION?

NO, NOT YET.

SHE SHOULD JUST NOT BE HERE.

I'M RUNNING HER PRINTS.

SHE HAS NO I.D. ON HER, NOT EVEN ANY POCKETS.

MAYBE SHE WAS ON HER WAY TO A STAR TREK CONVENTION.

WAIT TILL YOU GET A LOAD AT OUR LATEST CORPSE.

I'M LOOKING AT IT.

DAMN WALK UPS.

SOME TENANT, NAME OF TAYLOR, FOUND THE 2nd BODY.

TENANT?

THE BUILDING'S UP FOR DEMOLITION NOBODY SHOULD BE LIVING HERE.

TAYLOR'S HOLDING OUT FOR A JUICY PAY OUT FROM THE DEVELOPER.

LITTLE GUY WITH A BIG LAWYER, YOU'D LIKE HIM.

WHAT FLOOR ARE WE ON? 3rd.

YOU GET AROUND.

AFTERNOON, SIR.

AFTER YOU.

ARE YOU IN CHARGE?

YEAH, YOU COULD SAY THAT.

WE'RE WORKING WITH THE POLICE.

CAN'T YOU GET IT OUT OF HERE?

THE BLOOD.

IT'S EVERYWHERE.

IT'S A SET UP.

AND HE STINKS LIKE THEY FOUND HIM

IN A SEWER.

OH, JEEZ.

MR. TAYLOR,

TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW.

NOTHING.

I CAME BACK WITH MY SANDWICH

TO WATCH THE NOON NEWS, THEN I HEARD THIS CRASH.

LIKE GLASS BREAKING?

LIKE A DEMOLITION CREW COMING THROUGH MY WINDOW!

THEN I FOUND THIS GUY

STINKING UP THE PLACE, BLEEDING ON MY CARPET.

THIS WON'T WORK. WHAT WON'T WORK?

THEY ARE TRYING TO SCREW ME.

WHO? THE DEVELOPER,

THE ARCHITECT.

IF THEY EXPECT TO DRIVE ME FROM MY HOME

IT'S GONNA COST THEM BIG, BIG, BIG TIME.

THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE DEALING WITH.

YEAH WELL,

WE ALL HAVE THAT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW, DON'T WE?

I'LL GO DO A BACKGROUND CHECK.

ON ME?

OH, I THINK YOU'D DO THAT.

GATHER YOUR INFORMATION.

WHY DON'T YOU HARASS

THE ARCHITECT?

SHE'S TRYING TO SET ME UP.

WHY WOULD SHE GO TO ALL THIS TROUBLE?

IF IT'S NOT HER

THEN HE'S FROM THE GOVERNMENT.

THE TAX DEPARTMENT.

*

RAY?

COME ON, HANDSOME.

I'M SURE HE'S IN GOOD HANDS.

ANOTHER FASHION STATEMENT.

WHAT IS THAT; WINDOW GLASS?

IT FEEL LIGHTER, KINDA LIKE PLEXIGLASS.

FROM THE SHARDS AND THE POSITION OF THE BODY,

IT'S AS IF WE WALKED THROUGH A WALL OF GLASS--

FROM RIGHT HERE.

NO SCAFFOLDING, NO LEDGES, NO BROKEN WINDOW.

WEIRD.

MAYBE IT'S TIME TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE ARCHITECT.

I'M NOT CHANGING THE DESIGN OF THE BUILDING.

JUST FIGHT HIM ON IT,

ISN'T THAT WHAT I PAY YOU FOR?

JUST TELL ME HOW IT GOES; OKAY, THANKS.

MY OVERPRICED LAWYER.

HI, I'M VALERIE WELLES.

HI, LINDSAY DONNER,

OFFICE OF SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH.

MATT PRAEGER, HER OVERPRICED COLLEAGUE.

THE POLICE SAID THEY WERE BRINGING IN SPECIALISTS.

WHAT DO YOU SPECIALIZE IN?

SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION AND RESEARCH.

WE EXPLORE UNUSUAL PHENOMENA:

GEOPHYSICAL ANOMALIES, HAUNTINGS, THAT SORT OF THING.

YOU'RE TALKING GHOSTS?

I HAVE A UNION CREW STANDING BY AT FULL PAY,

AN ILLEGAL TENANT WHO WON'T BUDGE

AND A COURT SYSTEM THAT'S TOTALLY INDIFFERENT TO MY LIFE.

YOU'RE TALKING GHOSTS?

TELL US ABOUT YOUR BUILDING.

THAT ISN'T MY BUILDING.

THIS IS MY BUILDING.

AND I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND INSENSITIVE

BUT ONE SQUATTER'S DEATH IS HOLDING UP--

PEOPLE HAVE DIED.

UNDERSTAND THAT?

PEOPLE?

IT WASN'T MR. TAYLOR, WAS IT?

NO, MR. TAYLOR IS FINE.

SORRY

TO DISAPPOINT YOU.

YOU KNOW YOU CATCH MORE FLIES WITH HONEY THAN WITH VINEGAR.

THANK YOU, GRASSHOPPER.

WHY THE HARD TIME?

PEOPLE HAVE DIED, ALL SHE CARES ABOUT IS HER BUILDING.

SHE'S CLEAN, IT'S TAYLOR WHO HAS OUTSTANDING WARRANTS.

ANYTHING INTERESTING?

DISTURBING THE PEACE, D.W.I.

HE'S NOT EXACTLY A KILLER.

BUT ENOUGH FOR RAY TO TURN HIM OVER TO HIS PALS ON THE FORCE.

FINGERPRINT CHECKS ON BOTH VICTIMS TURNED UP NOTHING.

JUST MEANS THEY WEREN'T CRIMINALS

OR SERVICEMEN.

THERE'S NO STORE LABELS IN HIS CLOTHES,

THEY'RE ALL HANDMADE.

AMISH FARMER; HUTTERITE?

UNLIKE OUR JANE DOE, HE HAD POCKETS.

I FOUND THIS ON HIM.

IT'S A OLD TRIMMING KNIFE, A REAL ANTIQUE.

AND COINS FROM THE 1860's.

WHAT IS IT?

I'M NOT SURE.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT HER.

YOU HAVEN'T RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS.

OH, UM,

BUSY.

SORRY.

THIS IS SOME KIND OF SYNTHETIC THREAD

I CANNOT IDENTIFY.

IT'S NOT PETROLEUM-BASED.

WHAT ABOUT THE GLASS?

THE GLASS.

THE GLASS IS VERY STRONG,

VERY FLEXIBLE,

VERY EFFECTIVE FILTER AGAINST U.V. RAYS.

SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY USE

IN THE SPACE SHUTTLE.

IT'S NOT COMMERCIALLY AVAILABLE YET.

WOULDN'T YOU LOVE TO HAVE THE PATENT ON THIS?

THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT.

WHAT?

ACCORDING TO MY CALCULATIONS THE DEAD WOMAN

FELL 12 STORIES IN A 5 STORY BUILDING.

DID YOU CHECK FOR ANGLE OF ENTRY?

IT'S IMPOSSIBLE ANY WAY YOU LOOK AT IT.

IMPOSSIBLE'S OUR MIDDLE NAME, REMEMBER?

YEAH.

I NEED MORE TIME AT THE SITE.

THE BUILDING'S ABOUT TO BE TORN DOWN.

LET'S STAY FOCUSED ON THE VICTIMS.

I'M HAVING ANTON RUN A D.N.A. SCREEN.

FINDING OUT WHO THEY ARE WON'T TELL US WHAT HAPPENED.

IT USUALLY COMES BACK TO THE PEOPLE.

EXCEPT WHERE THERE'S A PHYSICAL FORCE.

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THE SITE THAT'S TRIGGERING THE EVENTS.

I'M GETTING BACK THERE.

THIS SHOWS THE LAYOUT OF THE WHOLE AREA IN THE 1800's.

THANKS.

NO, THANK YOU FOR PRYING MR. TAYLOR OUT OF HIS APARTMENT.

NOW I CAN START THE DEMOLITION.

WE'D REALLY LIKE TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON HERE

BEFORE THE BUILDING COMES DOWN.

LOOK, I HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO MY INVESTORS.

YOU'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME, MS. DONNER.

CASE MANAGER'S LOG, PRAEGER REPORTING.

ON AXON'S SUGGESTION WE'RE REEXAMINING THE SITE

WHERE THE DEAD WOMAN WAS FOUND.

ANYTHING?

NO.

*

THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.

PETER, SHUT UP.

JUST LET ME HEAR YOU BREATHE.

WELL, WHATEVER IT IS YOU ENCOUNTERED IN THERE

HASN'T HAD ANY ILL EFFECTS.

YOU BOTH SEEM PERFECTLY NORMAL.

SEE THAT, I'M PERFECT.

BUT THE RUSSIAN JUDGE GIVES YOU A 4.

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?

IT SHIMMERED LIKE A MIRAGE.

WELL, MAYBE THE DUST IN SOME WAY ALTERED YOUR VISION.

WE COULDN'T HAVE BOTH HAD THE EXACT SAME HALLUCINATION.

TRUST ME MATT, IT'S GOTTA BE THE BUILDING.

I'VE ACCESSED THE SCHEMATICS TO THE CITY'S POWER GRID.

TURNS OUT THERE'S 2 HIGH KVA POWER TRUNKS

INTERSECTING DIRECTLY BENEATH THE BUILDING.

ANYTHING ON THE E.M. SCANNER?

NOT THE ANSWERS I WAS LOOKING FOR.

WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE COME FROM?

COULD THIS BE SOME KIND OF SPONTANEOUS APPORTATION?

NOT QUITE ANTON, BUT YOU'RE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

PETER AND I HAVE ANOTHER EXPLANATION FOR THE PHASING.

PHASING?

OH, BOY.

THE THEORY'S BASED ON A CONCEPT CALLED PALIMPSEST.

PALIMPSEST REFERS TO TEXT ON PARCHMENT WHICH HAS BEEN ERASED.

AFTER IT'S RE-USED, SOME OF THE ORIGINAL TEXT

STILL BLEEDS THROUGH.

PALIMPSEST.

THE SITE WOULD BE THE PARCHMENT

AND THE ARCHITECTURE, THE TEXT.

THAT'S QUITE A STRETCH.

SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT PIECES OF THE PAST

STILL EXIST IN THE PRESENT BUILDING?

LET'S LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE.

THERE'S THE OLD COINS,

THE TRIMMING KNIFE,

THE DEAD MAN HIMSELF.

WHAT ABOUT THE WOMAN?

AND THE GLASS FROM THE MAN'S BODY?

OH, HE'S A MESS.

NO FILLINGS

OR CROWNS.

RETARDED DENTITION.

THAT INDICATES POOR HEALTH AS A CHILD.

AVULSED TEETH,

LOOSENED TEETH.

BRUSHING, FLOSSING.

THIS MAN HAS NEVER SEEN A TOOTHBRUSH

OR A DENTIST FOR THAT MATTER.

CLAIRE, DID YOU CHECK THE ORGANS FOR TRACES OF MERCURY?

YEAH, IN THE KIDNEY BIOPSY.

MERCURY POISONING?

YES, IT'S QUITE COMMON AMONG CERTAIN TRADES IN THE 1860's,

LIKE FURRIERS AND TANNERS.

DOESN'T PROVE

HE'S FROM THE PAST.

OR DISPROVE IT.

FOLLOW ME, GENTLEMEN.

FEMALE CAUCASIAN.

AGE INDETERMINATE.

LOOKS LIKE SHE'S IN HER 60's.

BASED ON HER BONE DENSITY AND SPINAL COLUMN COMPRESSION

I WOULD SAY SHE'S IN HER 80's.

MAYBE OLDER; THAT'S REMARKABLE.

YET HER EYES

SHOW NO EVIDENCE OF CATARACTS OR ANY OTHER EXPECTED SIGNS

OF ADVANCED AGING.

I ALSO FOUND THIS.

IT'S A SYNTHETIC HIP.

KIND OF THE WAY I DRESS.

IT MUST BE STURDY IF IT SURVIVED THE IMPACT OF THE FALL.

I'VE WORKED WITH ARTIFICIAL LIMBS IN AFGHANISTAN, CAMBODIA,

BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING

AS ADVANCED AS THIS.

THE TECHNOLOGY HERE IS YEARS AWAY FROM CLINICAL TRIALS.

IF THAT MAN IS FROM THE PAST,

MAYBE THIS WOMAN IS FROM THE FUTURE.

*

THERE WAS A TANNERY HERE UNTIL 1918.

MILES FOUND TRACES OF LYE ON THE MALE VICTIM'S BODY.

THAT ACCOUNTS FOR THE STRONG ODOR.

SOONER OR LATER EVERY D.O.A. STINKS, IT'S NATURE'S WAY.

THEY USE LYE

TO REMOVE FLESH FROM THE HIDE AND TRIMMING KNIVES

TO CUT AWAY UNUSABLE PIECES.

OH, VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD.

LOOK, WE STILL DON'T KNOW

TAYLOR'S NOT BEHIND THIS.

COME ON, RAY.

YOU THINK THIS GUY SET IT ALL UP TO SAVE A LOUSY APARTMENT?

TO TRANSPORT A BODY ALL YOU NEED IS A DEEP TRUCK.

IT'S NOT THAT EASY.

RAY, COME ON, OPEN YOUR MIND, THINK ABOUT THIS.

THE PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE ALL EXISTING IN THE SAME PLACE.

YOU KNOW, ARGUING FOR SPACE, BOUNCING OFF EACH OTHER.

SOUNDS LIKE THANKSGIVING DINNER AT MY IN-LAWS.

HEY!

DIDN'T YOUR MOTHER TELL YOU, IT ISN'T NICE TO POINT?

SORRY.

I APPRECIATE YOUR INITIATIVE,

BUT WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

I DIDN'T SIGN OFF ON THIS.

WITH PALIMPSEST THE TEXT IS SOMETIMES RECOVERABLE

WHEN YOU HIT IT WITH ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT.

THAT'S WHAT MADE THE BUILDING SHIFT?

IT HAPPENED AROUND NOON, LIKE THE OTHER EVENTS.

WHEN U.V. RAYS PEAK?

EXACTLY.

IT'S NEARLY NOON NOW, SO WHAT I'M GONNA DO

IS SCAN THE BUILDING WITH CONCENTRATED U.V. LIGHT

AND TRY TO RECREATE THE PHENOMENON.

WE COULD OPEN A WINDOW INTO THE PAST

OR EVEN THE FUTURE.

OPEN WINDOW TO PAST AND FUTURE.

HERE, JUST WEAR THE GLASSES.

ALL RIGHTY.

HERE WE GO.

JEEZ.

WOW.

LINDSAY, YOU GETTING THIS?

I'VE GOT IT, IT'S INCREDIBLE.

LET'S TRY THIS.

OH, MY GOD.

WHOA.

ONE MORE TIME.

HOLD ON.

HEAT SENSOR INDICATES

SOMEONE IN THE BUILDING.

SOMEONE'S IN THERE.

THERE'S SOMEONE IN THE BASEMENT.

GET THEM OUT.

CUT THE POWER!

HE'S IN THE BASEMENT.

HELLO!

ANYBODY HERE?

HELLO!

*

HELP!

I CAN'T BREATHE, HELP!

HELP ME OUT!

HELP, HELP!

HELP ME OUT!

WE'LL GET YOU OUT.

STAY WITH US, BUDDY.

HE'S BLACKED OUT.

EASY, NOW.

EASY.

YOU'LL BE FINE

IF YOU REST.

I'M A DOCTOR.

MY NAME IS HENDRICKS.

NELSAN.

WALLACE NELSAN.

WHO ARE YOU?

WHAT IS THIS PLACE?

YOU'RE SAFE.

WE BROUGHT YOU

FROM THE APARTMENT BUILDING.

FROM WHERE?

HOW GOES THE BATTLE?

HAVEN'T YOU HEARD?

WE'VE GOT THE REBS ON THE RUN.

RICHMOND IS SURROUNDED.

IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME NOW.

MR. NELSAN IS IN SHOCK AND SUFFERING A MILD CONCUSSION.

BUT YOU'LL BE FINE.

IF YOU FEEL UP TO IT,

I'D LIKE TO ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS.

AT YOUR PLEASURE.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY THESE WERE WORTH.

THAT'D BE ONE DOLLAR

AND 40.

A GOOD DAY'S WAGE.

WHAT ABOUT IT?

DO YOU NOTICE ANYTHING UNUSUAL ABOUT THEM?

IS THIS SOME KIND OF PARLOUR GAME?

NO, NOT AT ALL.

WE'RE SCIENTISTS

AND RESEARCHERS.

SCIENTISTS?

WE'D LIKE YOU TO STAY AND REST FOR A WHILE.

RIGHT, THEN.

OH, THE COINS PLEASE, I NEED THEM BACK.

OH, I THINK THERE'S ONE MORE.

SO THERE IS.

THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT, MR. NELSAN, I'M JUST GONNA REMOVE

ONE OF THESE.

AT WHAT TIME DO PEOPLE EAT AROUND HERE?

WE'LL BE EATING--

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP HIM HERE.

WE CAN'T HOLD HIM AGAINST HIS WILL.

HE'S TAKING IT ALL PRETTY WELL;

NO PANIC, SMOOTH ANSWERS.

IF HE'S NOT THE REAL DEAL, IT'S A PRETTY GOOD ACT.

WHAT IF IT'S NOT?

FIND OUT.

I'LL DO SOME HOMEWORK.

THIS MIGHT BE A TIME FOR MORE VINEGAR THAN HONEY.

TOUCHE.

I STILL DON'T TRUST HIM--

...YOU'VE HAD A LIGHT CONCUSSION.

EVEN IF HE IS 160 YEARS OLD.

I DON'T SUPPOSE I COULD HAVE A STRETCH OF MY LEGS?

A BREATH OF AIR?

SOON, IF THAT'S OKAY.

DO Y0U HAVE ANY IDEA HOW YOU GOT INTO THAT BUILDING?

THE ONE MINUTE, I WAS IN THE TANNERY,

THEN IT WAS PITCH BLACK AND I COULDN'T BREATH.

THEN, I FOUND MY SALVATION.

JUST TAKE IT EASY.

I MEANT NO OFFENSE.

IF I MAY BE SO BOLD,

YOU SEEM TO BE A VERY...

MODERN WOMAN.

THERE'S SOMETHING I WANT TO SHOW YOU.

THEY LOOK RATHER DEAD.

DO YOU KNOW THEM?

NO.

I NEED TO TAKE A PHOTOGRAPH OF YOU,

IF THAT'S OKAY.

OF COURSE.

JUST STEP BACK.

OKAY.

NOW, WHAT IS THAT?

YOU MIGHT FIND THIS INTERESTING.

TAKE A LOOK.

I HAD MY CARTE VISITE

TAKEN ONCE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE WITH COLOURS.

WILL IT DO THIS TO YOU?

SURE.

TRY IT.

STAND BACK, AGAIN,

AND POINT IT AT ME.

PUSH THAT BUTTON ON TOP.

THAT'S IT.

YOU GOT IT.

THIS WILL GIVE THE BOYS LOTS TO TALK ABOUT.

LINDSAY, PRAEGER WANTS YOU IN ON THE 11 O'CLOCK.

OKAY.

YOU'RE NOT LEAVING ME, ARE YOU?

I'LL KEEP YOU ENTERTAINED.

KNOCK IT OFF!

WATCH THE BLOOD PRESSURE, RAY.

*

THIS IS MR. NELSAN'S RIGHT LEG.

SEE HOW CRUDELY

THE FIBULA WAS RESET.

NO ONE WOULD GO TO THOSE LENGTHS TO PERPETRATE A FRAUD.

I STILL DON'T TRUST HIM, ANTON.

I THINK HE'S THE REAL DEAL.

ON DECEMBER 2nd,

A UNION TROOPER BY THE NAME OF W.R. NELSAN

WAS CONVICTED OF DESERTION.

HE ESCAPED THE STOCKADE

BUT WAS RECAPTURED CROSSING INTO CANADA AND EXECUTED IN 1865.

WHAT WAS HE DOING IN THE TANNERY?

LIKELY TRYING TO HIDE.

YOU'RE SURE HE'S THE SAME GUY?

MATT, LET'S LOOK AT THIS.

WE MAY HAVE PLUCKED HIM OUT OF HIS PROPER PLACE IN TIME.

CAN YOU IMAGINE THE CONSEQUENCES?

WE DIDN'T START THIS.

FOR ALL WE KNOW, HE WOULD'VE TURNED UP ANYWAY.

THAT MAY BE.

BUT WHAT THE HELL DO WE DO WITH HIM NOW?

I KNOW, I KNOW.

I'M NOT RUNNING THE SAME TEST, THOUGH.

IT'S A SMALL, CONTROLLED BEAM, NOTHING RISKY.

WE GOTTA FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

ANTON THINKS WE'VE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE ALREADY.

WE CAN'T RISK PHASING AGAIN.

IF WE DID BRING THAT GUY HERE,

WE COULD BE ON THE VERGE OF AN INCREDIBLE BREAKTHROUGH.

WE COULD BE UNCOVERING A WHOLE NEW CONCEPT OF TIME.

THAT'S WHAT WORRIES ME.

I'LL SEE WHAT KATE AZZOPARDI HAS TO SAY.

AH, WAIT...

A REMOTE VIEWER?

WE DON'T NEED A REMOTE VIEWER.

HER GIFTS WON'T SOLVE OUR PROBLEM.

WE'RE DEALING WITH SCIENCE NOT METAPHYSICS.

MAYBE, BUT I'M NOT PREPARED TO TAKE ANYMORE CHANCES.

YOU THINK SHE'LL BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT MADE THAT BUILDING SHIFT?

NO, I THINK SHE CAN TELL US WHERE THE PEOPLE CAME FROM.

YEAH.

IF SHE CAN CONFIRM THIS IS PURELY

A QUESTION OF SCIENCE, WE'LL PLAY IT YOUR WAY.

I'M NOT A CLAIRVOYANT.

I'VE NEVER REMOTE VIEWED INTO ANOTHER TIME BEFORE. I KNOW.

THE THINGS I SEE WHEN I PROJECT MY MIND

HAVE ALWAYS BEEN LIMITED TO CURRENT EVENTS AND LOCATIONS.

KATE, 2 PEOPLE ARE DEAD.

DO THIS FOR ME?

PLEASE?

DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TANGIBLE I CAN WORK WITH?

AN ARTICLE OF CLOTHING?

A PERSONAL POSSESSION; BETTER.

I'VE NEVER USED A LIVE PROP BEFORE.

IN CASE YOU HAVE TO RESORT TO OLD-FASHIONED TECHNIQUES.

YOU PERFORM IN THE THEATRE?

SOME PEOPLE THINK SO.

*

*

*

IN THE NAME OF GOD.

QUIET.

IT'S THE TANNERY.

*

IT'S VALERIE'S TOWER.

SHE'S DRAWING

WHAT WILL BE HERE IN THE FUTURE.

WHAT'S SHE DOING?

KATE!

KATE!

HER PULSE IS RACING.

WHAT'S GOING ON?

GET HIM THE HELL OUT OF HERE.

RAY!

MATT, HOLD HER ARM.

I'M GIVING HER SOME LIDOCAINE.

KATE, LISTEN TO ME!

YOU GOTTA BREATHE.

IN AND OUT!

SLOW IT DOWN.

SLOWLY BREATH, KATE.

IN AND OUT, DEEPLY.

KATE, LISTEN TO ME.

WHAT DID YOU SEE?

COME ON, KATE.

LET'S TAKE A WALK.

YEP.

YOU ALRIGHT?

I FEEL LIKE I'M HUNG OVER ON CHEAP BULGARIAN WINE.

THAT'S ABOUT HOW I EXPECT YOU TO FEEL

AFTER A JOLT OF LIDOCAINE.

YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME, YOU KNOW.

I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

YEAH.

LISTEN,

WHERE WERE YOU?

I DON'T KNOW.

KATE,

YOU'VE SEEN SOMETHING, HAVEN'T YOU?

NOTHING.

I--

HAVE YOU HEARD ANY NEWS?

I'M AFRAID NOT.

*

KATE?

YES?

IN A LONG CORRIDOR

ON A HIGH FLOOR.

WITH HUGE WINDOWS

AND A BLUE TINT.

WHAT, MY BUILDING?

I'VE SEEN YOU SOMEWHERE BEFORE.

HAVE WE MET?

NO.

BUT I FEEL LIKE I KNOW YOU.

KATE?

WHAT IS IT?

I THINK YOU SHOULD TEST HER FOR P.K. ABILITY.

*

KATE DREW A FLOOR PLAN OF THE TANNERY FROM WHAT SHE REMEMBERS.

AND HERE IS THE EXISTING LOW-RISE APARTMENT.

THE "X" MARKS THE BODY FOUND IN TAYLOR'S APARTMENT,

POSITION OF THE BODY COINCIDES WITH A CATWALK IN THE TANNERY.

THERE'S MORE.

VALERIE WELLES GAVE ME THIS.

THE OFFICE TOWER FLOOR PLAN.

IN THE FUTURE

THERE'S A GLASS PARTITION THERE.

SO, OUR JOHN DOE

RAN DOWN A CATWALK IN THE PAST

CRASHED THROUGH A WINDOW IN THE FUTURE

AND THEN BLED TO DEATH IN THE PRESENT?

WHAT WOULD DO THAT?

PALIMPSEST.

THESE CARDS ARE AMAZINGLY LOW TECH.

BUT THEY WORK.

I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU THE BACK OF ONE

AND I WANT YOU TO TELL ME WHAT YOU SEE.

OKAY.

IT'S A BIT DARK.

OH, UM,

THAT'S TOO BRIGHT.

REALLY?

YEAH.

HAVE YOU HAD YOUR EYES LOOKED AT?

YES, I HAVE MACULAR

DEGENERATION.

SHORT OF A MEDICAL BREAKTHROUGH I WILL BE BLIND IN 5 YEARS.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR WORK?

IT'S OVER.

I JUST, I WANT TO SEE SOMETHING COMPLETED.

I WANT TO SEE MY BUILDING.

I'M SORRY.

ME TOO.

I HAVE SOME THINGS TO DO SO IF WE COULD JUST, YOU KNOW...

OF COURSE.

OKAY.

1st CARD.

STAR.

LET'S TRY ANOTHER ONE, SHALL WE?

*

I'M SORRY, I CAN'T.

*

VALERIE, TAKE A LOOK AT THE CLOCK.

SHE HAS LATENT P.K. ABILITIES.

SPECIFICALLY, SHE CAUSED A CLOCK TO RUN BACKWARDS.

IT'S AS IF,

UNCONSCIOUSLY, SHE'S AFFECTING THE VERY NATURE OF TIME.

SO IT WASN'T JUST THE BUILDING.

PETE,

YOU WERE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.

I WAS ON THE WRONG TRAIN.

YOU KNOW, VALERIE'S POWERS MAY HAVE BEEN ACCENTUATED

BY THE STRESS SHE FELT AT TRYING TO COMPLETE HER PROJECT.

THANKS ANTON, I'D HATE TO THINK SHE WAS THAT GOOD BY HERSELF.

SHE WAS SO STRONG IN HER DESIRE TO CONSTRUCT HER BUILDING

SHE MAY HAVE AFFECTED

THE NATURE OF TIME ITSELF.

KATE; WHAT IS IT?

THAT OLD WOMAN YOU FOUND IN THE LAUNDRY,

I SAW HER IN A VISION.

ARE YOU SURE SHE'S DEAD?

CLAIRE DID CONDUCT AN AUTOPSY.

I MEAN, ARE YOU SURE SHE'S DEAD IN THE WAY YOU THINK SHE'S DEAD?

THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT HER.

SOMETHING FAMILIAR.

*

THIS WOMAN IS VALERIE WELLES.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

OLDER,

DIFFERENT HAIR, BUT IT'S HER.

IT'S POSSIBLE.

HER EYES, THEY'RE A DIFFERENT COLOUR.

WHO SAYS THEY CAN'T

TRANSPLANT EYES IN THE FUTURE?

WE HAVE TO BRING THEM TOGETHER.

VALERIE WELLES HAS TO MAKE CONTACT WITH THIS BODY.

WHAT; WHY?

IF PRESENT VALERIE MAKES CONTACT WITH FUTURE VALERIE

IT COULD CLOSE THE WINDOW.

IT COULD RE-ORDER TIME.

NO.

IF WE SUCCEED WE'LL SEND NELSAN BACK TO HIS EXECUTION.

ANTON, WE'RE NOT JUST OBSERVERS ANYMORE.

MATT,

WE HAVE TO SEE THIS THROUGH.

IF WE CAN'T FIND AN END TO THIS

WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT.

NO ONE SHOULD HAVE TO

LOOK ON THEIR OWN DEATH.

I GUESS WE HAVE NO CHOICE.

ANTON?

I'LL SPEAK TO VALERIE.

WE DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

THE DISRUPTION

MAY CLOSE AND STRAND YOU HERE

OR IT MAY SEND YOU BACK.

TO WHAT?

I HAVE NO FAMILY.

NO PROSPECTS.

IF I RETURN I AM AS DEAD AS THEY ARE.

I'M A DESERTER.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?

IT MEANS THE GALLOWS.

THE WHOLE TOWN WILL COME OUT, HAPPY TO SEE ME SWING.

BUT THE MERE FACT THAT YOU'RE HERE

MAY CHANGE YOUR FATE ALTOGETHER.

I CAN'T TELL YOU

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

I WISH I COULD.

*

SO, THAT'S ALL THERE IS TO IT, HUH?

VALERIE,

WHAT YOU DO NOW

COULD ALTER YOUR FUTURE.

AND YOU STILL HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE IT.

I'VE JUST NEVER SEEN A DEAD BODY BEFORE.

WELL, YOU KNOW, IT CAN'T BE ME.

SO WHAT'S THE HARM?

RIGHT?

IT'S PROBABLY JUST SOMEBODY WHO LOOKS LIKE ME.

MY MOTHER'S SISTER,

SOMEONE LIKE THAT.

OKAY?

YEAH.

OH, MY GOD.

LOOK AT ME.

*

SO, WHEN WILL IT HAPPEN?

JUST SIT TIGHT.

EASY FOR YOU TO SAY.

YOU GOT ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.

AHHH!

RAY?

GET THE BASTARD!

PRAEGER, OUTSIDE, NOW!

LET'S GET YOU TO A HOSPITAL.

*

I'LL TAKE THE BACK.

*

*

*

*

*

*

VALERIE?

HOW ARE YOU?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH.

MY GOD.

MY GOD.

WHAT HAVE WE DONE?

*

SO, HOW'S RAY?

HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL.

NOT EVEN SURGERY COULD TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN.

HEY, HOW'S VALERIE?

SHE PLANS TO FINISH HER BUILDING.

BUT SHE WILL NEVER GO INSIDE IT.

JUST WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS ANOTHER ABSENTEE LANDLORD.

KATE?

YOU SAW INTO THE FUTURE.

WHAT WAS THERE?

I DON'T KNOW.

WAR?

UTOPIA?

WHAT?

DARKNESS.

YOU SAW MORE THAN THAT.

I REALLY COULDN'T SEE.
