[woman laughing]

[hoofbeats]

[woman laughing]

[hoofbeats]

-Have you had enough of my
back, Your Lordship?

-Aye, now have some of mine.

[woman laughing]

[hoofbeats]

[woman laughing]

[laughter]

-You cannot catch me, sir.

Mmm, unless I choose it.

-Then so choose, forevermore.

Choose me, and I'll
defy my father and

have you for my wife.

-How can I?

I mean no disrespect, but your
father is a dangerous man.

Never would he countenance
a servant's

daughter in his family.

-You misjudge him.

And you misjudge my love if you
think I'd allow my father

to keep us apart.

-If I dare say yes, you must
swear to stand by me in all

circumstance, and you must
protect my family.

We would have no recourse
but you.

-With all my heart, I swear no
harm will come to you, nor

anyone you hold dear, so
long as I draw breath.

Just say yes.

[alarm buzzing]

[alarm buzzing]

QUINN (OFFSCREEN): Hey,
Wade, you awake?

-Yeah, I'm up.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN):
Come on, girl.

-I'm up!

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN): Yes.

INNKEEPER (OFFSCREEN): Upon
you and all your--

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN):
Blessings

on you too, my friend.

INNKEEPER (OFFSCREEN): Thank
you so much, sir.

Thank you--

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN): Thank
you again for your

hospitality.

Yes, thank you.

INNKEEPER (OFFSCREEN):
Forever, thank you.

-Oh, exasperating ninny.

-Oh, come on, Professor.

He's just trying to be polite.

-"Thank you, goodbye,"
is polite, Mr. Brown.

Half an hour of servile
nattering is sheer insanity.

Oh, Lord, I hate these
early morning slides.

-You kidding me?

[inhales]

Just take a nice, deep breath of
that bracing pre-dawn air.

[coughing]

-I could tell you what to do
with that bracing pre-dawn

air.

-All right, enough with
the bickering, kids.

-And as for you, I have
but one word.

Hamburger.

[cow moos]

-How much longer must we endure
the dubious merits of

New India, Mr. Mallory?

-Oh, about which five minutes.

What do you say we
go to the park?

Maybe we'll get lucky and find
you some soft grass to land on

for a change.

-Ha, ha, ha.

Very considerate
of you, my boy.

-Hey, you all right,
sweetheart?

-Hm?

Yeah.

I had the weirdest dream.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN):
Come on.

We don't want to
miss the slide.

[all cry out]

WADE WELLES (OFFSCREEN): Hey!

QUINN (OFFSCREEN): Oh!

Oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh.

Oh.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN): Aughh.

Ahhh!

Soft landing there,
hard part here.

And where do we land,
unfailingly?

-Oh my god.

-Just say yes.

QUINN (OFFSCREEN):
What's going on?

-Hello, Wade.

I've been waiting for you.

QUINN (NARRATING):
What if you could

travel to parallel worlds?

The same year, the same Earth,
only different dimensions?

A world where the Russians
rule America.

Or where your dreams of being
a superstar came true.

Or where San Francisco was a
maximum-security prison.

My friends and I found
the gateway.

Now the problem is finding
a way back home.

[theme music]

[theme music]

MALE SPEAKER: (WHISPERING)
Sliders.

-Who are you?

DEREK (OFFSCREEN):
The name's Bond.

Derek Bond.

(LAUGHING) It's kind of hard to
resist saying it that way.

You're wondering how I
knew you were coming.

I'm a seer.

I have visions of things
before they happen.

I've experienced this night a
thousand times ever since I

was a child.

I know you're skeptical,
Professor.

And you, Quinn, you have your
own reasons for denial.

But you'll accept the
possibility, won't you?

-Me?

DEREK (OFFSCREEN): Your friends
can't conceive the

continuity of the spirit, but
you can sense this is a

reunion, that we've found
each other again.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN): What the
devil do you mean by that?

Are you implying that you and
Miss Welles have met each

other before, somewhere?

-In another time, Professor.

We were lovers in a past life.

I'm sorry.

I've been anticipating this
moment my entire life, but

this is all happening much
too quickly for you.

Look, I'll go now and let
you regain your balance.

But please have dinner with me
tonight, so we can talk?

-I don't know.

-But you do.

I'll pick you up at 7:00.

The Dominion Hotel.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN): How
did he know our hotel?

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN):
And our names?

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN):
This is weird, girl.

WADE (OFFSCREEN):
Gets weirder.

I was dreaming about
him when I woke up

for the slide tonight.

-Despite Mr. Bond's claims,
there must be another

explanation.

For instance, he would know
our names if he'd met our

doubles previously.

QUINN (OFFSCREEN): Maybe with
the right technology, he could

detect the timer's energy and
figure out when we'd be here.

But how the hell'd he
get in Wade's dream?

-Well, it looks like they
do have some pretty good

technology here.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN):
Good heavens.

If these people are mining the
moon, then there could be any

number of possible
explanations.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN): Wade!

Augh!

Ohhh.

[brakes squealing]

QUINN (OFFSCREEN): ORACLE 1.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN): Are you
all right, sweetheart?

-Yeah, I'm fine.

-Oh, God.

I'm fine, I'm fine!

-He's hurt.

-Ow!

Oh.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN):
Come on.

-Oh, my foot's not too good.

-How was that, sir?

-What's wrong with you people?

Can you believe that?

I think he stopped
just to taunt us.

What kind of world have
we landed on?

-I got their plate.

Come on, let's get him
to a hospital.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN):
Can you walk?

-I think so.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN): So what
am I supposed to put down for

local address?

WADE (OFFSCREEN): You might as
well put the Dominion Hotel.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN):
JFK died.

-Heh.

Nobody keeps magazines longer
than hospitals.

-Not on this world.

He died two months ago
from complications

of Addison's disease.

Attendees at his funeral
included his brother Robert

and Martin Luther King.

-Let me see.

-Here, they were not
assassinated.

NURSE (OFFSCREEN): First things
first, Mr. Brown.

Let's take a look
at the damage.

WADE (OFFSCREEN): E-excuse me.

Shouldn't you take off
his shoe and sock

before examining him?

-Why?

WADE (OFFSCREEN): So you
can see what's wrong.

-Well, other than a slight
bruise to the base of his

fifth metatarsal bone, and a
slight strain on his internal

annular ligament, he seems to
be in pretty good shape.

-W-well, shouldn't you take
an x-ray or something?

-An x-ray?

WADE (OFFSCREEN): Never mind.

-Where are you two
from, anyhow?

-San Francisco.

-Look, I don't know what your
story is, but, uh, it doesn't

take a fifth-degree psychic
to know you

two are hiding something.

What gives?

-What took so long?

-The nurse wanted to know where
we really come from.

-You told her?

-No choice.

She's like a walking
lie detector.

-She calls herself
a medical oracle.

She could see everything that
was wrong with Rembrandt's

foot without x-rays,
and she could sense

when we were lying.

-What?

-Look, I had a compound
fracture of the leg

when I was a kid.

She knew exactly where it was.

-Apparently 10% of the

opulation has psychic abilities.

They're trained to specialize
in things like medical

diagnosis, mineral exploration,
criminology.

QUINN (OFFSCREEN):
She's in heaven.

A world of people who
think like she does.

[elevator dings]

-That's them.

-She's really nice, too.

She's going to take
me shopping so I

can get a new dress.

-What for?

-Well, I can't go out to dinner
in a pair of blue

jeans.

-Come on, Wade, you're
not really going

out with this guy?

-Why not?

What's the worst that
can happen?

-Wade, how many times do
we have to tell you?

No involvements.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN):
Look who's talking.

-Up against the wall.

-Are you mad?

What for?

-We haven't done anything.

COP (OFFSCREEN): Not
yet, you haven't.

This is a preventative arrest.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN):
Preventative arrest?

What the hell is that?

-Police oracle says you're
going to kill someone.

-A police oracle?

You blistering idiot.

Who are we supposed to kill?

-A woman named Wade Welles.

Let's go.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN): Officers,
with all due

respect, the man that you are
accusing of intending to

murder Wade Welles saved her
life a few hours ago.

-Look, a man tried to run her
down with his car, OK?

We got the license plates
and everything.

-What's the plate number?

-ORACLE 1.

[laughter]

-You want to file a complaint
against the Prime Oracle?

-You're damn right, we do.

COP (OFFSCREEN):
Listen, friend.

If the Prime Oracle tried to run
down Wade Welles, it was

probably a matter of
national security.

-National security?

-What is this?

It says here that we acknowledge
having received

our Miranda warning?

We've received no such thing.

-What are you, a moron?

What do you think we've been
doing for the past hour?

Now listen, just sign the forms
and you're free to go.

And then I'm able to get
home before midnight.

-You just booked us.

You took our pictures and our
fingerprints, and now you're

letting us go?

-We don't incarcerate
you until after

you commit the crime.

So if you're smart, you
keep your noses clean.

And if anything happens to Wade
Welles, we'll be on you

before she hits the floor.

Now sign them and get the
hell out of here.

-In 1865, a young seer from San
Francisco is purported to

have prevented the

ssassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln was so impressed he
created a special cabinet

post, Prime Oracle, with the
responsibility to foresee

potential disasters.

The rest of the country soon
came to believe in psychic

powers.

-So from one coincidence,
they set up this whole

crazy social order?

Unbelievable.

-Under the apparent guidance of
Prime Oracles, this society

has averted nearly every major
conflict of the last century.

Earthquakes, volcanic eruptions,
assassinations--

all are predicted here.

People have weeks to adjust.

-Yeah, well, before you start
cheering for the Prime Oracle,

remember it was him that
nearly ran Wade down.

-I know.

And that's maddening.

I mean, why would he
do such a thing?

Every indication here suggests
that this Prime Oracle is a

remarkable and benevolent man.

-These are the same who think
you and Rembrandt are about to

murder Wade.

So don't believe everything
you read.

-I can't believe this
is happening.

I don't feel I'm ready.

-I've always known it
would be today.

I've been ready for years.

-How can you be so cold?

He's been like a father to us.

-That's a poor choice
of words, Melanie.

-No, it's not.

You hold onto your anger
from a past lifetime,

you'll poison this one.

-What I'm holding onto from
the past lifetime is love.

-Sit, sit.

No need to stand on ceremony.

Clearly you both received
the vision I sent you.

Oh, I still can remember the
first time I saw both of you.

So young, yet so gifted.

As you know from the vision, I
will succumb to a cerebral

hemorrhage by this
time tomorrow.

So now I must choose
my successor.

-Melanie Wallace, declare
yourself.

-In fairness to Derek, I know
that he is a more powerful

seer than I am.

But he lacks discipline and
compassion, and a Prime Oracle

without these qualities
would be a disaster.

I admit I would have preferred
a few more years of training.

But I still believe I am
the better choice.

-Derek Bond, to declare
yourself.

-The Prime Oracle is responsible
for seeing every

potential calamity that
might befall this

country or its leaders.

I've devoted my life
to expanding

the range of my powers.

Even Melanie admits that I'm
further along than she is.

I remind you, sir, that you were
in your early 20s when

you first took over, and your
early years were not without

controversy.

I

-Both of you are right.

You have more power.

You have more discipline.

But while events can teach Mr.
Bond greater balance, they

cannot give Miss Wallace
greater power.

There's is a woman Derek wants,
and I believe she can

teach him what he
needs to know to

be my worthy successor.

He is my choice.

WADE WELLS (OFFSCREEN): I really
appreciate this, after

working all day and
everything.

NURSE (OFFSCREEN):
Are you kidding?

The truth is I actually have
an ulterior motive.

I mean, I know you're only here
for a couple of days,

but, uh, I mean, I'm not

thinking of anything long-term.

Just--

(QUIETLY) Is Rembrandt committed
to anyone back home?

-Nope.

He's great, isn't he?

-So tell me, what's it like,
sliding from world to world?

-Well, it has its moments,
that's for sure.

-Well, I don't have any
dinner plans tonight.

I'd love to hear all about it.

-Gosh, I don't think I've worn
a dress since the Lottery

Winners' Ball.

DOMINIQUE (OFFSCREEN):
Anna's a genius.

She always envisions
the perfect outfit.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN):
[whistles]

-What do you think?

-You look absolutely stunning,
Miss Welles.

-She had it waiting for
me in the window.

It's kind of like the one
I wore in my dream.

Quinn?

-Nice dress.

[knock]

-Hi.

-You look like something
out of a dream.

-Don't wait up.

This is amazing.

I can't believe this place is so
deserted on a Friday night.

-I didn't want a lot of
strangers staring at us.

I should have warned you,
I'm a little famous.

-No, that's OK.

Just a little famous?

-I'm getting a promotion soon.

Then I'll be very famous.

-Oh.

-You don't have to
be so impressed.

I'm the lucky one here.

-Why is that?

-Just to be with you.

I've been in love with
you a very long time.

-So what did your father do
after we got married in our

last lifetime?

-You don't know?

-No, I woke up for the slide.

The dream was interrupted.

What's wrong?

-A blind spot.

-Excuse me?

-I thought you already
had the whole dream.

-No, the alarm woke me.

Are you all right?

Derek?

-The Prime Oracle just died.

-Chin up, my boy.

We're only here for
a couple of days.

Not long enough for her to form
a permanent attachment.

-You don't know her like
I do, Professor.

She's a sucker for all
this past life stuff.

-Ah, well.

Regardless of any passing
infatuation, she's got a good

head on her shoulders.

And she won't do anything to
jeopardize her chances of

going home.

REPORTER (ON TELEVISION):
Already, thousands of

mourners--

-What's going on?

REPORTER (ON TELEVISION): Have
gathered outside the gate to

pay their respects.

Regent Douglas Higgins as
assured me the Prime Oracle

knew his death was imminent, and
earlier today, chose Derek

Bond to succeed him.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN): Good
heavens, it's him.

REPORTER (ON TELEVISION):
During his

tenure as Prime Oracle--

-Mr. Mallory, there's a loop
between the old Prime Oracle,

his successor, and
Miss Welles.

And somehow it must be connected
with the attempt on

her life.

-Yeah, I guess.

Who knows?

Maybe it's connected with the
fact the police think you and

Rembrandt would murder Wade.

-Let's assume that the
Prime Oracle really

could predict events.

He could interfere with
cause and effect.

He could set events in motion.

A whole series of events,
initiated by a single action.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-Where's Rembrandt?

-Oh, he's out with his nurse.

-You're not going to believe
what just happened.

-Oh, yes, we've just seen
it on television.

-No.

Not just the Prime Oracle.

Look.

Derek's asked me to marry him.

[hoofbeats]

-You are Kate?

-I am.

Who are you?

-A messenger.

-Is Richard all right?

-His father has learned of your
plans and has taken steps

to prevent them.

Richard begs that you flee to
the bridge at Hampstead.

There he will meet you,
as soon as he is able.

-Are my parents safe?

Are they?

-I cannot say.

-Richard swore to
protect them.

If harm comes to my parents, it
falls on me that I gave in

to selfish passion.

MESSENGER (OFFSCREEN): That
choice cannot be taken back.

But things may yet be right.

As you love Richard,
trust in him.

Ride to Hampstead and
await better news.

-I will away.

Tell Richard I have
done as he asked.

[phone rings]

-Hello?

Derek.

Yes, of course I've thought
about it, but--

now?

I guess I can.

OK.

-Whoa, now slow down.

He did what?

-He gave her an engagement
ring.

-This is unbelievable.

-Not as far as he's concerned.

-After one date?

-Yeah, but bear in mind, she
hasn't said yes yet.

-OK, now is she wearing
the ring?

-She didn't want to take it.

He insisted.

-Don't you guys know anything
about women?

Once they put the rock on the
finger, it's all over.

Well, I hear you had quite
a night last night.

-Derek called.

He wants an answer.

QUINN (OFFSCREEN): Good.

Pick up the phone and tell
him to get lost.

-No.

-No?

What are you talking
about, no?

-You heard me.

-What are you saying?

You're really thinking about
marrying this clown.

-He's not a clown.

If you want to know the truth,
Derek's everything that I

could possibly ask for.

-You know this after one date?

I told you, she's infatuated
with this guy.

WADE WELLS (OFFSCREEN):
I'm not infatuated.

The least I can do is explain
it to him in person.

QUINN (OFFSCREEN): Yeah, well,
we're coming with you.

WADE WELLS (OFFSCREEN): No.

I can handle this myself.

-You guys could have
said something.

PROFESSOR (OFFSCREEN):
No need, Mr. Mallory.

You said more than enough
for all of us.

-Good morning.

Thank you for coming.

-We need to talk.

-Yes.

But you haven't eaten.

We'll talk over breakfast.

You are having doubts
about me.

It's not fair.

If there was more time, I
know we'd resolve them.

-Derek, I--

I can't marry you.

-You've had the rest
of the dream.

I knew that would
be a problem.

-Look, it's not that I don't
feel a connection between us.

I do.

But I can't base the rest of my
life on what happened in a

dream.

-It's not a dream.

Those events happened.

-Even if you're right, I can't
place as much faith

in it as you can.

DEREK (OFFSCREEN): It's
not about faith.

It's like sliding.

Each new world is
a new lifetime.

WADE (OFFSCREEN): Yeah, but
Derek, I remember all of the

worlds that I've been to.

-Just as I remember
my past lives.

Wade, even the old Prime Oracle
knew of our connection.

He told you'd be the most
powerful influence in my life,

that you would teach me to
be a great Prime Oracle.

-Me?

-Yes, you.

-But the Prime Oracle tried to
run me over with his car right

after I met you.

(INCREDULOUSLY) What?

-It's true.

He would have killed me if
Rembrandt hadn't pushed me out

of the way.

DEREK (OFFSCREEN): No, the Prime
Oracle would never have

done that unless he
knew Rembrandt was

going to save you.

He must have had something else
in mind, some plan he was

setting in motion to bring
us closer together.

Wade, please.

Don't make your decision now.

You don't slide for
a day and a half.

Give me that time.

Then if you choose to turn me
down, I'll accept that.

I'll honor that.

-It's easy.

Just tell him, hers
your ring back.

No, no, no, don't hang up.

No.

[dial tone]

-She's off the deep end.

-Listen, Q-Ball, you're
only making it worse.

-He's manipulating her.

It's obvious.

-That's right, and
she knows it.

Last thing she wants is
to hear that from you.

Just makes her feel like you're
manipulating her too.

-Where in the hell did you
get to be such an expert?

-I'm the Crying Man.

You think that just happens?

-Sorry.

We gotta get her out of
there, Rembrandt.

-It's not our call.

It's hers.

-She doesn't know what she's
doing right now.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN):
Look, I would miss

her more than anyone.

But this may be the best world
that we've ever seen, and this

guy could give her anything
that she wants.

It's got to be her call.

-We're the only friends, the
only family she's got.

We have to do something.

-Not until she asks.

-My childhood room.

-I had the workmen here round
the clock to get it ready.

-It's not possible.

Muggsy?

How could you--

how could you know everything
in my room?

Every detail like this?

[thunder rolls]

-You read my mind?

-To make you happy.

-How dare you?

You went into my mind without
even asking me?

God, I feel totally violated.

My thoughts are private.

What you did, that's
like rape.

DEREK (OFFSCREEN): All I did was
recreate the room so you

could have a little piece
of your home here.

-I got--

I've got to go back
to my hotel.

-But I can't let you do that.

-I said, I want to leave now.

-Look, I'm sorry if
this upset you.

I didn't mean it to.

Wade, I won't sacrifice our
happiness just because of one

little mistake.

-Look, I just--

I need some time to think.

And I--

I don't feel comfortable
here right now.

-You and I both know that
if I let you leave, I'll

never see you again.

-OK.

OK, look.

I'll stay here tonight,
and we'll talk

about it in the morning.

OK?

-OK.

WADE (OFFSCREEN): All right.

See you tomorrow.

-Sleep well.

[dialing beeps]

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN): Are
you sure that this

is the right place?

-This is my world, sweetheart,
remember?

-Well, now, the first law of
adventures is Murphy's law.

Whatever can go wrong
will go wrong.

-What a strange law.

Must be very hard to get along
on other worlds without a

Prime Oracle.

-If she doesn't show up
soon, we should just

go in and get her.

-Mr. Mallory, this place is
designed to stop people from

breaking in.

Let's play a waiting game, eh?

Let her make a move and then
help her to break out.

-If this is the right place,
then where is she?

There.

-God, am I glad to see you.

-The feelings more than
mutual, girl.

-Hurry.

There's bound to be
security cameras.

-Come on.

[police radio in background]

-Did you think I
wouldn't know?

-If you cared at all for
me, you'd let me go.

-You violated my trust, Wade.

Say goodbye to your friends,
because you're not going to be

seeing them again.

[gunshot]

[horse screams]

[hoofbeats]

-No!

-Testament to my foolishness.

-My love, I swear it, the woman
who came to you was sent

by my father, not by me.

He boasted of it, knowing that
no horse could care me swiftly

enough to save you.

-Then oppose him no more, for
you will only come to harm.

He is an evil man, and his
power is too great.

-By all that is holy, I swear
myself to attaining

more power than his.

-Swear not, my love.

The pursuit of such power is the
source of his corruption.

-You can't die.

-The choice is not mine.

-No.

No.

No.

No!

Noooooooo!

-Don't you get it?

When I died as Kate, you wished
for power greater than

your father's.

Now you've got it, and you're
using it just as ruthlessly as

he ever did.

-Wade, I'm not keeping
you here to be cruel.

I know in time, you'll
change your mind.

-You have so much power.

How can you have such
little insight?

I can't predict the future, but
I know if you don't let me

go, I'm never going to be
able to forgive you.

-Do you want to know
the truth?

I can't see the whole picture
when it comes to you, and that

scares the hell out of me.

The old Prime Optical called
you a crossroads

in my life, a nexus.

Everything changes based on
what happens with you.

-Derek, no matter how much
power you have, you can't

force people to love you.

Not even God can do that.

-The President will
be here soon.

I have a busy day.

-What the hell's taking them?

-Well, maybe they had more
luck than we did.

Rembrandt's companion's
well-connected in this world.

Perhaps she had some
influence.

-What a miserable world.

-It's not the world,
Mr. Mallory.

Just one man.

REPORTER (ON TELEVISION):
He arrived about a

half an hour ago.

The President was delighted
in the--

-Just one man.

Trouble is, he's the most
powerful man on the planet.

-Sorry we're late, guys.

We finally found a lawyer who
would at least talk with us,

but not without a $10,000
retainer.

You have any luck?

-Wade called.

She's going to try and
talk to the Regent.

We slide in less than six hours,
and there's no damn way

to get her out of there.

-So what are we going to do?

REPORTER (ON TELEVISION): Is
expected to focus on--

-Oh my god.

It's Maggie!

-Who's Maggie?

DOMINIQUE (OFFSCREEN): My
roommate from college.

She's the President's
speechwriter.

-You actually know someone in
the President's entourage?

-Yeah, I'm so stupid.

I should have realized.

She must be in town for
the ceremonies.

-Well, can she get us
to the President?

At least talk to him for us?

-Well, there's a chance.

-Come on, guys.

Maybe we can still
stop this thing.

-No, wait.

You've got to stay here, just
in case Wade calls.

-I'm not staying--

-If she calls and you're not
here, and we're not here,

we're lost.

-Let me have another.

[knock]

-Come in.

-I don't have very much
time, Miss Welles.

We're very busy with
the inauguration.

-Please, sir, you still have
authority over Derek.

-At this point, my authority is

little more than a formality.

-Yeah, but it's legal,
and he's keeping me

here against my will.

That kidnapping.

-Miss Welles, the Prime Oracle
is our guardian of the future.

No one--

no one-- has the authority to
challenge his vision of it.

If he says that you should
be here, we must

trust that he is right.

-Are you all blind?

Derek is acting like
a spoiled child.

I can't believe that you would
put the future of your country

in his hands.

-I'm very sorry.

I can't help you.

-Your prescription arrived.

-Prescription?

-The pharmacy just
delivered it.

-Hour and ten minutes.

Where are they?

[phone rings]

-Hello?

-He won't let me go.

-Wade.

WADE (ON PHONE): He won't.

Gonna die, Quinn.

It's the only way.

QUINN (ON PHONE): Wait.

Hang on, OK?

WADE (ON PHONE): Remember me?

-I'm--

WADE (ON PHONE): Shhh.

Just listen.

If you get home, tell my
mother don't wanna--

but I gotta--

-I'm--

I'm coming right over.

I'll be right there!

WADE (ON PHONE): Bye.

-(SHOUTING) Call someone in the
Prime Oracle's mansion!

[pounding on glass]

-(SHOUTING) Call someone in
the Prime Oracles mansion.

The Prime Oracle's fiancee
has poisoned herself.

I've got to get in there.

Make the damn phone call!

She's dying, man!

DEREK (OFFSCREEN): I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

QUINN (OFFSCREEN):
Get off her.

Get off of her?

-She was all I had.

I loved here.

-Love?

She had to kill herself to get
away from you, and you call

that love?

-I didn't understand.

-Yeah, well, a lot of
good that does now.

ASSISTANT (OFFSCREEN):
It's time, sir.

You have to go to
your ceremony.

-(SHOUTING) What do I do?

-Same as me.

You go on without her.

-The President is waiting.

-May God forgive me.

[siren blaring]

-Why did I have to
take you with me?

I didn't know what
I was doing.

God, I'm so sorry.

-I can't do this.

I can't be Prime Oracle.

-You have to.

You were chosen.

-Don't you understand?

I abused my power.

I used it to get what I want and
I ignored everything that

I should've seen.

She killed herself.

But I might as well have put
the poison on her lips.

-I'll have to stall.

We have a crisis.

-Where are you people going?

This isn't the hospital.

What's going on?

-Out of the way.

-What is going on?

-Hang in there, Q-Ball.

It's gonna be OK.

-Once you've been installed,
you can choose whoever you

want to succeed you, if that's
what you really want.

But if you don't go through with
this, it will be chaos.

-My god, she's alive.

Get me my car.

And I'm going to need
a police escort!

-Do you have any idea what
you put me through?

-We couldn't tell you
anything, Quinn.

The guy could read your mind.

-In order to convince Bond that
Wade was dead, we have to

convince you.

-So that whole thing about
Dominique's friend's cousin--

-Nah, that was just a sham.

That--

we just had to make sure that
you were alone when Wade

called.

-I could kill you guys.

Thank god.

-Well, the weird thing is that
it was the police oracles who

said we were going to kill Wade
that gave me the idea.

-That and Miss Welles' passion
for "Romeo and Juliet," where

the same ploy is used, but not
with the same happy result.

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN): So
Dominique wrote the

prescription and had
it delivered.

We put the note in the bottle.

That gave Wade the plan.

-How's it going in here?

We haven't got much time.

[sirens blaring]

REMBRANDT (OFFSCREEN): Uh-oh.

How much time, Q-Ball?

-Almost two minutes.

-Aw, Dominique, come
on, sweetheart.

Bad guys are coming.

We gotta run.

-She's in no shape for that.

[sirens blaring]

-Hi, guys.

-You scared the crap
out of me./

DEREK (OFFSCREEN): Stop!

-You stay away from her.

-I came to say goodbye, and
to beg your forgiveness.

-You're letting me go?

-I'll miss you more than you'll
ever know, but I thank

god the Prime Oracle
spared you.

-The Prime Oracle?

DEREK (OFFSCREEN):
You were right.

He knew the only way I'd ever
let you go is if you were

dead, so he introduced you to
Dominique and the whole chain

of events which unfolded
thereafter.

-He knew we'd trick you?

-Now we're both free.

-Maybe we'll meet again
in another lifetime.

-I hope so.

I'd like a fresh start.

You.

Take good care of her.

[zap]

[whoosh]

-Come along, Mr. Brown.

New worlds await.

-Gotta go.

[whoosh]

-I'll never forget you.

[whoosh]

-What's wrong?

-I've just seen where
they were going.
