Anya kenway,

I havepointment

with David Lasalle,

Not exactly club med, is it?

You're clear, dr, Kenway,

Building 16,

Straight ahead, take a right,

and follow the signs,

Thanks,

You have a nice day,

I already am, ma'am,

It's been a long time, Anya,

It's really good

to see you again,

Yes, ,,

in a twisted sort of way,

Nice place,

You didn't tell me

you were working in a gulag,

I'll show you around,

Burkmeer was built

for h-Bomb research

during the cold war,

I know it's not much

on amenities,

but, believe me,

you'll be glad you decided

to come up here,

I only agreed to look,

You promised me

the most fascinating project

of my career,

so fascinate me,

Fascinated yet?

I've seen radiation Chambers

before,

So are we going to the moon

again,

or are you just trying

to take over the world?

I'm Roy evereznak,

post-Doc out of cal tech,

Pleased to meet you,

Roy's been with

the project five months,

I think it's really excellent

that you're here,

Your essay on Bell's

interconnectedness theorem,

it was awesome

stuff, doc,

It was like my Bible

in grad school, man,

I used to sleep with it

under my Pillow,

You've got to

take this job, doc,

Well, I'll take it

under advisement, Roy,

Roy got his

bachelor's at 15,

just like you did,

Oh, I'm like the janitor

around here,

I could never be in your league,

dr, Kenway,

The focus

of our experiment

is in there,

Roy, you and I have

some diagnostics to run,

Why don't you grab

a radiation suit?

Tell me what you think,

Roy, ,,

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 coeive,

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,

Seemingly without reason, y touches many lives,

but is there a hidden purpose

that lies beneath our apparently random fates?

"Urs-28" was born

"Sasha vadimsky,"

belarus, russia, 1987,

His unwed mother

was a tech at chernobyl,

critically injured

in the accident,

She didn't even know

She was pregnant

at the time,

After the reactor blew,

she was in intensive care,

comatose,

The fetus inside her grew,

Six months later,

just before she died,

the russian doctors performed

a c-Section

and delivered

what you just saw,

They put it on

a life-Support system,

Didn't think

it would survive,

but it did,

After

the soviet union collapsed,

urs-28

was eventually brought here

to burkmeer,

And it's been kept alive

like this

all these years,

As long as

it's fed intravenously,

the autonomic nervous system

keeps the heart pumping,

the organs functioning, ,,

What about

higher brain function?

None, No consciousness at all,

So why am I here?

I'm a physicist,

not a biologist,

Recognize that?

What is this, astrophysics 101?

It's the theoretical

construct

of a tachyon,

a hypothetical

subatomic particle,

It's the only thing

faster than light,

If we understand that,

we could rewrite

the physics books,

It could lead

to a whole new source of energy,

That's a big "If"

When we don't even know

if it exists,

They're being emitted by urs-28,

Anya, this is not hypothetical,

This is an actual reading,

All right, David,

I'm officially fascinated,

Does that mean

you'll accept the job?

Anya, this is Dr, Frank beimler,

He's the director

of burkmeer,

I'm in, doctor,

Excellent,

We began this project

as an investigation

into a U, R, S,

It's our Lingo...

"Unexplained

Radiation Source,"

Thank you,

Our subject emits all sorts

of high-Intensity,

electromagnetic pulses,

They're crazy

random signals,

muon particle streams,

even gamma radiation,

which is why we require

protection around urs-28,

Weird stuff,

and it started emitting

tachyons?

It only happened once,

and only for

a microsecond,

We've been trying

to get urs-28

to generate them

again ever since,

Without success,

Tell me, dr, Kenway,

how would you suggest

that we approach this task?

Well, I'd hit the subject

with a array

of accelerated protons

set at different frequencies,

just like you were planning to,

Don't look so shocked,

I saw the proton generators

in the I, C, U,

Too bad

you haven't been able

to figure out the right equation

for the frequency mix,

That's why you're here, Anya,

Welcome aboard,

If we succeed,

it'll be the scientific coup

of the century,

We'll change

the face of physics,

And maybe win

a nobel prize

along the way, ,,

Quite possibly,

Of course,

your urs-28

might not appreciate

being slammed

with a bunch of

high-Energy protons,

Urs-28 is nothing more

than a grossly deformed,

irradiated mass of protoplasm,

Maybe, but he gave me

a pretty creepy look,

It's pure reflex,

His brain has no visual cortex,

You know, David,

if u, R, S, Was a monkey,

you might hear

the word "Vivisection"

More than you like,

Yeah, well,

a monkey has a working brain,

Urs-28 does not,

Show me

where to hang my toothbrush,

I'll get started,

All of our key personnel

live right here at burkmeer,

Nancy and I were planning

a little welcoming party for you

at our place Sunday night,

Just people from work,

No big deal,

I'm not much for parties

anymore,

Oh,

Well, there's not

a whole lot of social life

out here in the boonies,

People are

looking forward to it,

It'd be good if you came,

I don't suppose you'd believe me

if I told you

I don't have a thing to wear,

Come on,

Hi, Roy,

How's our urs-28 this afternoon?

Well, let's see, ,,

today, he homered

in the bottom of the ninth

to win the little league

world series title,

and he brought

a girl home

after the game,

so I suspect he's

not a virgin anymore,

He is the man, isn't he?

I'm just yanking

your chain, doc,

Actually, he's been

very cool all afternoon,

no Spikes in his readings,

I just changed out his I, V,

I guess he liked

his lunch,

He's been snoozing

ever since,

It sounds like

you're getting attached,

Well, I guess feel bad

for the little guy, you know,

It's not much of a life,

And if you and the other docs

are able to set up

this experiment,

it's Only going to get worse

for him,

No one's getting hurt, Roy,

U, R, S, Has no feeling

or thought,

You're that sure?

I've seen his e, E, G,,

a complete flatline punctuated

by random bursts of energy,

I know, but, ,,

I'm a scientist,

I believe in facts, not fantasy,

and I suggest you do, too,

if you intend

to pursue this field,

Well, I guess this means

you're one of us, Anya,

All right,

Welcome aboard,

Well, help yourselves,

I tweaked the algorithm

for phase wave addition,

but it still didn't cut it,

We're stuck

on the initiating sequence,

Why didn't I

see that?

Maybe you're too close

to the problem, ,,

or maybe I'm just smarter

than you,

And, ,,

we'll run both simulations,

Along with

hundreds of others, ,,

you know, don't you,

if we miscalculate

on the real deal,

your urs-28 is history,

There's no room for error

at these energy levels,

It's worth taking the risk,

considering

what we've got to gain,

I had a weird little chat

with Roy evereznak today,

Roy's a bright guy,

He's a few kopecks

short of a Ruble,

but the kid crunches physics

like nobody's business,

Hey, enough with the shop talk,

you two,

This is supposed

to be a party,

Sorry,

So, how did you two meet?

We met right here

at burkmeer,

Nancy used to work

in administration,

Ah,

Well,

David always was a lazy dater,

David is really happy

you've come on board, Anya,

You're amongst friends,

If there's anything

you need,

please ask,

Thank you, I appreciate it,

Honey, would you grab

the wine?

Yeah, sure,

Well, come on,

Let's make some friends,

Hey, help yourselves,

My aunt Had

multiple sclerosis,

but she was upbeat

and engaged in life

right up until

the day she died,

"your attitude

determines your altitude,"

she used to say,

Are you all right, dear?

Yes, I'm fine,

You okay?

Yeah, yeah,

I'm fine,

I'm going home,

Uh, ,,I'll give you a ride,

I said I'm fine,

What's up?

It's, ,,

Dr, Kenway, still in the house,

burning the midnight oil, ,,

can't sleep

when I'm running numbers

in my head,

I get all my inspiration

from the ones

with the sprinkles,

Why does that

not surprise me?

So, you're really

going to hit old Sasha

with that triple-Decker dose

of protons?

As soon as

we can come up with

the proper

frequency mix, ,,

Sounds mucho painful,

It would be,

if the subject had

the capacity to feel pain,

How long does

the process last?

Theoretically,

we could keep him on it

for years,

decades even,

and we'd need decades

to be able to understand

and Harness the energy

of the tachyons,

[ beeping ]

uh-Oh,

Houston, we've got a problem,

Looks like Delta-Seven probe

is loose,

I'll go check it,

Oh, I'll get it,

Finish your breakfast,

Dinner,

Right,

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay,

Whoa, who, whoa, doc!

You've got to suit up,

Right,

Sorry,

Thanks,

Hello, urs-28,

My name's Anya,

and I assure you

this does hurt me

more than it hurts you,

[ alarm Sounding ]

warning, radiation levels rising,

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

You've got to suit up,

Right,

Sorry,

Thanks,

[ speaking russian ]

[ translator ]:

I recorded many energetic emissions

associated with the subject,

The radiation had side effects...

Headaches and such,

In one case,

a nurse began to see visions,

hallucinating visions

of a small boy That would appear to her,

It was thought to be the result of radiation poisoning,

but, ultimately, it was revealed

that the woman had a genetic brain disorder,

and was removed from her post,

Urs-28,, ,

Sasha, ,,

is there a secret you're hiding?

Or is my disease

affecting my mind?

Don't tell me you've been here

here all night,

I went through

the russian files,

and I spent some time

in the I, C, U,,

and, while I was in there,

there was an e, M, P, Burst,

And?

Nothing,

It was just a weird sensation,

You've got to take better care

of yourself,

In your condition, ,,

you don't have to remind me

that I have a terminal illness,

It's something I live with

every day,

Go home,

Get some rest,

Go on,

Roy's due back

for the second shift

any time now,

If you don't go,

I'm going to tell Roy

to play his rap

without headphones,

Okay,

Okay, I'll go,

Sasha's toast, ,,

and we can't let Sasha be toast

because Sasha

is the only one I know, ,,

who's worse off than me,

Jackpot,

Hey, Janie,

I talked to dr, Beimler,

He said it's okay if I cover

the rest of your shift,

Take off whenever,

Thank you, Roy,

I owe you one,

How's my boy?

Out like a light,

What else did you expect?

See you tomorrow,

Bye,

I almost made a difference,

Got a joke for you, sash,

Did you hear about

the new restaurant on jupiter?

The food's great,

but the atmosphere sucks,

That was a good one, huh?

You know, sash,

the science brass

have big plans for you,

You're supposed

to help them solve

the mysteries

of the universe,

They're only

going to torture you

for 20 or 30 years

to do it,

Well, not on my watch,

I'm going

to help you escape this hell

the only way I can,

Emergency,

Life systems critical,

No!

What the hell, ,,

Jane, ,,

Where's Roy?

He's in the lab,

No, he's not in the lab,

I was just in the lab,

Urs-28 is all alone?

Dr, Beimler will hit the roof,

Go in there and watch him,

but don't let anyone in,

Do you understand?

Yes, but...

Go,

David...

Anya, I knew you'd do it,

Your last series

of equations

is the answer,

David, where's Roy?

Didn't you hear me?

I ran the simulation,

It checked out,

We can start the experiment

tomorrow,

Listen,

Something's happened to Roy,

What are you talking about?

I don't know exactly,

He's disappeared,

He was in the lab,

and I was at home,

and I saw it,

David, I think I'm experiencing

some kind of connection

with Sasha,

Anya, ,,

I'm not losing

my mind,

I read

the russian files,

There was a nurse

who was monitoring Sasha,

She saw a little boy appear

out of thin air,

That's what I saw,

The woman turned out

to have a brain tumor,

That's what was causing

the hallucinations,

Maybe,

Or, maybe Sasha was able

to reach her telepathically

because

of the problem in her brain,

just like my condition

is allowing me

to experience things

that the rest of you can't,

You're under a lot of pressure,

You hardly get any sleep,

No wonder your mind

is playing tricks,

David, if you had seen

what I just saw, you...

You're on heavy medication,

Some of those drugs

have neural side effects,

Are you asking me

to disbelieve my own senses?

No,

I'm asking you to be

what you've always been,

a scientist,

Any word from Roy?

No,

I tried him at home,

but no one's answering,

Did you check the readings

for 2:15?

There was a brief drop

in the subject's

oxygen levels

at 2:12 this afternoon,

The video playback?

The video went out

for a few seconds

about the same time,

We've been having trouble

with the new systems...

Thanks,

I'll take over now,

Okay, dr, Kenway,

Do you need me

to do...

No, you can go,

Thanks, Jane,

Fantastic, ,,

and you've run this

through the simulation?

Five times,

It's gold,

I told you Anya would crack it,

The equipment's in place,

We can be up and running

by the end of tomorrow,

What's the problem, David?

Um, well, ,,just, ,,

these long days

have been putting

a major strain on her,

Be specific,

She says

she's experiencing things,

She thinks

she's developed

some sort of empathic connection

with urs-28,

Oh, she's just been putting in

long hours,

and in her condition, ,,

do you think she's going through

some kind of a breakdown?

I don't know,

Where is she now?

I know you didn't want

to hurt him,

He was trying to kill you,

What choice

did you have?

You know, Sasha,

you and I are almost

in the same boat,

You're not part of this world,

Pretty soon, I won't be either,

I only wish I'd found

more of the answers

I was looking for, ,,

and I wish there was something

I could do for you,

Help me,

Where am I?

Who are you?

I am Sasha's mother,

This is Sasha as I know him,

a perfect little boy

who never awakens

because his consciousness

is caught in your world,

Parallel dimensions, ,,

with Sasha caught between, ,,

his mind is the bridge

allowing us to communicate

between our worlds,

Do you know how set him free?

No,

Try,

You are his only hope,

Do you have any children?

Well,

if you are looking after him

in your world,

then he is your child, too,

Anya? Anya?

Anya?

And Sasha has generated a rift

between our dimension

and another,

I've seen this dimension,

I know it exists,

Anya, ,,

you're not well,

Why don't you take some time,

get yourself sorted out?

How much time, doctor?

I'll be dead in a year,

I'm sorry,

but you're officially

off this project,

You can't do this!

I have no choice,

We are that little child's

Only chance,

David, ,,

David, you've got

to talk to him,

You've got

to do something,

You've got to stop him,

There's nothing I can do,

Dr, Kenway?

I'm supposed to help you

to your quarters,

I'm sorry, Anya,

Everyone's sorry, ,,

and, tomorrow,

in the name of science,

you're going to horribly torture

a little boy,

That's it, ,,

[ knocking ]

I know it's only 5:30,, ,

don't worry,

Come on in,

What's going gb?

I know

how to send Sasha through,

What?

Where's your laptop?

It's, uh, ,,

it's unbelievable,

We can use the proton array,

It's already set up

in the I, C, U,

Instead of training them

on Sasha,

we can set up the coordinates

to clash

at a singularity

above the life-Support chamber,

We can amplify

the tachyons

in Sasha's brain

and draw them

up to the singularity,

punching a hole

in the space-Time continuum,

Even on the wild chance

that this is possible,

you'd never have enough power,

The hole would only

have to exist

for a nanosecond,

Sasha would instantly

be pulled through

to his natural point

in space-time,

and be reintegrated

with his

other-Dimensional self,

All we need to do

is Divert enough power

from the rest of burkmeer

to the proton generators

in the lab,

Beimler will never allow it,

Oh, we can't tell beimler,

David,

I've proven to you that...

All you've proven to me

is that tachyons travel

interdimensionally,

That does not mean

that I believe

that urs-28 is a small boy,

or that you've seen

this other dimension

that you plan on sending him to,

You once said to me

that maybe there's meaning,

an unseen greater good

in even

our worst tragedies,

Well, I now know

that it's my illness

that is allowing me

to experience things

that perhaps

no one else ever has,

and it's what's

going to allow me

to save this little boy

when no one else can,

All right,

how do I know this boy exists?

I mean, I go along with this,

it's the end of my career,

Now, how can you ask me

to throw everything away

on the chance

you might be right?

Because the stakes are too high

not to,

A human life, ,,

look, maybe this is

the last desperate delusion

of a dying woman,

but, if I'm right,

then what I've experienced

is not insanity,

It's destiny, ,,

maybe even the hand of god,

Help me, David,

I told Jane

to take a break,

that I'd

look after everything

for an hour or so,

But that doesn't mean

someone else might not come by,

Just get me

the power I need,

All right,

And, David?

Thank you,

Yeah,

Good morning, Sasha,

With any luck,

you'll be taking a trip today,

Oh, David,

Morning,

I wanted to tell you

how badly I feel

that we had

to let Anya go,

I know

how close you are,

Yeah, well, I mean, ,,

she's a pro,

She'll get over it,

I'd like to go over

the final checklist

before we actually...

Dr, Beimler, ,,

Dr, Kenway's

in the lab!

Get out of there!

What the hell is she doing?

Anya, come out of there!

The computer's running

some kind of automatic sequen

Well, shut it down,

I can't,

She's controlling it

from inside the I, C, U,

Go in and get her out of there,

Sir, she damaged

the suits,

There are more

in the radiation lab,

Anya, Anya, you're sick,

You don't know

what you're doing,

David, talk to her,

What can I tell her, Frank?

You can tell her

to get out of there!

We'll shut the power down,

You can't,

If you try, you'll blow

every circuit in this place,

and electrocute urs-28,

What are you talking about?

I jammed the circuits,

You're part of this?

I just couldn't take the chance

that she might be right,

The system won't take the power!

It will, It will,

It's just a safety precaution

in the system,

Go down to the access panel,

and remove

the k-6 resistor board,

Have you lost your mind?

Get her out of there,

No!

Jensen, leave her alone,

Leave her alone!

I can't reach,

I can't get in there

with this helmet,

Oh, my god,

Anya, don't!

She won't last 30 seconds

without that suit,

Get out of there,

You're going

to have to come with me, doctor,

Jensen, don't let her near

the console,

It's not going to happen,

doctor,

Don't make this

Harder on yourself,

Roy's been with the project

for five months,

It's really excellent

you're here,

Your essay on Bell's

interconnectedness theorem...

Awesome stuff, doc,

It was like my Bible

in grad school, man,

I used to sleep with it

under my Pillow,

You've got to

take this job, doc,

You okay, Anya?

Dr, Lasalle!

It's impossible,

Urs-28, it's gone,

What are you

talking about?

You have a good day, ma'am,

Thanks,

I already did,

Despite our ever-More sophisticated technology,

sometimes

an open mind and a caring heart

are more important tools

to fathom our reality,

all the way

from Its deepest inner reaches

to its most DISTANT

outer limits,
