Yeah! Folks!

And with the ring,
it's the Ageless One!

The great one, Tanner Brooks!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

ANNOUNCER: On behalf of
the World Octal Federation,

thank you all for coming down
here, We love you!

And remember,

the thrills never stop
when you go for the,,,

Ring!

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

ANNOUNCER: Yeah!

Tanner, you were limping out
there, Any comment?

Yeah, what happened?
Are you injured? I won,

You sure did that, What about your
next match? You gonna be okay?

I'll be fine, yeah,

MALE REPORTER: That was a
hell of a throw, Tanner,

where did you come
up with that one?

It was like I could
see the moves,

I could see there was a white light
from where I was to where I had to be,

I saw it and I went for
it, and it was there,

MARCUS: Thanks, boys,

Man was in the zone,

That's good stuff, Tanner,

Reminds me of that move you made in
the Manila Open a couple of years ago,

And you were still a top ten
then, weren't you?

Yeah, (MARCUS CHUCKLES)

The tour won't be the same
without Tanner Brooks,

I just hope I get a chance to
go up against him one last time,

Of course,

the only way that will happen is
if we both make it to the finals,

See you there, Count on it,

MALE REPORTER: How're you
gonna prepare for that?

FEMALE REPORTER: Will
it be a grudge match?

Hey, you looked good out
there, Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm all right,

Don't let Marcus psych you out,

he's just a lot of noise,

Besides, you'd kick his butt,

Yeah, not even on my best day,

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Yeah?

MICHAEL: Mr, Brooks? Yeah?

Uh, hi,

I wanted to congratulate
you on your match today,

Thanks,

If you want an autograph,
you can talk to the lady out front,

she'll send you one,
Oh, no, no, thanks,

but I didn't come here
for your autograph,

What can I do for you? Well, um,

would you like to
win this tournament?

Of course I would,

You can't,

Is that right?

Mr, Brooks, I've been a fan
of yours for a very long time,

I've watched your progress,
your entire career,

but your performance today

clearly indicated to me the
limits of your abilities,

I see, MICHAEL: Yes,

Uh, now if you really,

really want to win
this tournament,

you need something extra,

Now, I've developed this
treatment,,, That's real,,,

And if you came
down to my office,,,

I'll tell you what, Doc,
I don't know what you're selling

but I don't want any of
your snake oil, okay?

I'm not talking
about taking drugs,

I don't care what
you're talking about,

Get the hell out of here,

Why don't you make me?

(SCOFFS)

MICHAEL: Come on,
what are you afraid of?

Mr, Brooks,

I'm a hell of a lot
faster than I look,

CONTROL VOICE: 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

We can shape your vision

For the next hour,

we will control all

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from

to The Outer Limits,

Evolution is guided
by the principle

of survival of the fittest,

For the human animal,

the urge to compete is
ingrained in our spirit,

But in some arenas,
the rules are not clear,

and victory may
well be an illusion,

Loser,

I used to keep my extra
bottle under the sofa,

Or have you checked
there already?

Just looking for my sneaker,

I didn't want to wake you up,

Sorry, It's okay,

You're going to the gym?

Yeah,

Since when do you work
out the day of a match?

I just thought I'd try
something different, you know,

Shake things up a bit,

Can't hurt to change a little,

No, I guess it can't,

Tanner, I was thinking
that, you know,

between your tournaments
and my clients,

we haven't had a lot of time
to spend together lately,

(ZIPS BAG) I think we've
been doing all right, huh?

Yeah, well, I was hoping that

afterwards we could
get away for a while,

Afterwards?

You mean like after
I lose the match? No,

I mean after the tournament,
Did you see me yesterday?

Yeah, I really think I
can win this one, Jess,

Used to be a time I didn't have
to try to convince you of that,

That's not fair,
and you know it,

You're right,

I'm sorry,

But win or lose,
you are retiring, right?

Sure,

I said I would, didn't I?

Gotta go,

(SIGHS)

You're late,
You're lucky I came at all,

What are you doing
with military hardware?

(BEEPS)

Well, you can hardly buy this
kind of stuff at Radio Shack,

You know, for a sports doctor, you look
an awful lot like a rocket scientist,

Yeah,

Well,
the defense technology transfer

to the private sector is
very commonplace these days,

You know, microwave ovens
came from the space program,

Look, you said you had
some kind of a treatment

that could guarantee
me to win the Octal,

Uh-huh,

Is it legal?

It's not illegal,

How does it, how does it, uh,

how does it work?

I thought you were the
one that told me, uh,

you weren't into drugs, Look,
I've never been on drugs,

I've been in the
game a lot of years,

but I'm in top shape now,
I've never felt better in my life,

I don't need you or
any treatment to win,

I just,,,

MICHAEL: You just,

maybe would like
an edge perhaps?

Um, just in case, yeah?

Yeah,

Tell me,

have you ever heard the
phrase "transcortical reflex"?

No,

Well, it has to do with a high-speed
response to neural stimulation,

You see,
when you take a nerve impulse,

uh, and allow it
to go much faster

directly to the cerebral cortex,

it will influence,

influences voluntary
muscle control,

You see, Mmm-hmm,

I'm not a doctor,

What are you saying?

Um, would you turn
that switch on for me?

Sure,

(ELECTRICITY BUZZES) Ow!

(SNICKERS) Case in point,

You see, your hand reacted before
you even knew what was happening,

Before your brain could
process the event,

the event was already
passed, you see?

Now, my treatment accelerates
the human neuromuscular system,

so that a person can comprehend

and take part and
react to events

in a much shorter time scale than
would ordinarily be possible,

You mean like how
baseball players say

they can see the ball slow down before
they hit it, That kind of thing?

Yes, yes, exactly, exactly,

Now, my treatment

results in some remarkable improvements
in reflex and reaction times,

Now,
this is temporary of course,

However, it lasts long enough

to make the difference
in the Octal,

Hmm,

What do you get out of it?

Well, um,

I get out of it what any couch
potato, armchair athlete would

in watching his favorite
sport, A vicarious thrill,

You're going to bet on
me, aren't you?

Oh, yes,

Yes, I am, but not for money,

Sometimes,

success alone is
indeed its own reward,

I see,

So, Mr, Brooks? Mmm-hmm?

Tell me,

do you feel like a winner today?

(LIQUID BUBBLING)

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

(BUBBLING)

What the hell is that stuff?

Oh, human nerve tissue,

(BEEPS)

Genetically engineered,

This stuff is not easy to grow,

But you see,
the energy required to accelerate you

through this whole process
is gotta come from somewhere,

so what I do is,
I pull the energy

out of the tissue,
then I amplify it

and I put it back into you,

The conductive fibers
in this special suit

serve to equalize that effect
throughout your entire body,

The hormones that you give off
during intense physical effort

will kick in then trigger
that reflex acceleration,

So, all you got to
do is concentrate,

and let it work for you,

What happened?

The treatments are wearing
off, man,

What treatments? Who's this?

Jessica, this is Michael Chen,

He's a sports
medicine specialist,

Come on,

Mrs, Brooks,

your husband is an
exceptional athlete,

I'm sure you must be
very proud of him,

I am, Dr,
Chen's been helping me with my, uh,

training program,

How long's this been going on?

Not long,

Uh, look, why don't you drop by
the office later this evening?

Perhaps we could discuss
the situation further then,

That's great,
That's what I'll do,

Come on,
I gotta hit the showers,

I'll meet you outside,

I mean,

Mr, Brooks? Yeah,

Do you think you could sign this?
Sure,

KID: Thanks,
TANNER: What's your name?

Douglas, Douglas,

(SCRIBBLING)

Thanks, man!

Hey, guys! Check it!

I got Tanner Brooks' autograph!

JESSICA: Look out!

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

(GRUNTS)

TANNER: Kid? Kid, you all right?

Tanner! Come on, guys!
Let's get out of here,

JESSICA: Are you okay?

Get me to Chen's lab,

Hurry,

(SHIVERING)

JESSICA: If you can't
do anything for him,

I'm taking him to a hospital,

MICHAEL: Now Mrs, Brooks,,,
To see a real doctor,

Mrs, Brooks, please,
try to understand,

Now, the treatments
your husband underwent,

and quite by choice I might add,

were to enhance his reflexes
and his coordination,

Now on occasion,

there are some stresses on the
body, certain side effects,,,

Side effects doesn't
begin to cover what I saw,

(TANNER GROANS)

Tanner? (GASPS)

Tanner? (GROANS)

What happened? Do you remember?

(SIGHS)

(TANNER GROANS)

Not all of it,

Man, it was like,

my senses were on a rubber band,

I was being snapped from one
world to the other, It was,,,

One place,
everything was moving real slow,

and the other place, everything
was, was moving really fast,

Oh, baby,
what have you done to yourself?

Mr, Brooks,

MICHAEL: Mr, Brooks,

it appears that the energy from my
treatments is building up in your system,

It's affecting you more than
just on a cellular level,

it's affecting you also on
a quantum mechanical level,

What does that mean?

Well, it means that your
body is shifting in and out

of an entirely
different quantum phase,

a phase where time flows
much differently than here,

Can you do anything about it?

Well, I believe the effects should
dissipate on their own in due time,

It may take a little
while, but in the meantime,

no more treatments for you,
starting immediately, all right?

Hey, Chen,

You can't do that to me,

The finals are tomorrow!

There's no other choice!

TANNER: Chen said this energy
build-up's gonna dissipate, right?

I can take another treatment,

I'm in great shape,
I can take a 100 more treatments,

Will you listen to
what you're saying?

(JESSICA SIGHS)

I don't understand any of this,

You've never taken drugs before in
your life, (WHISPERS) It's not a drug!

You used to feel sorry for the
players that did, It's not a drug!

There's no difference,

I can't win without it!

Well, then that's something
you're just gonna have to accept,

That's easy for you to say,

I have spent my entire life
training to be the best,

Not my best, "the best!"

And for the first time, in my career,
I can actually see it happening,

You know what,
you don't understand that,

And you never
will, you know why?

Because you don't know what
it's like to be a winner,

You don't know what it's
like to be the best,

Well, I'm sorry, honey,

but you're not the best,

And so what if you're not?

This game is not who you are,

Winning only lasts for a moment,

You can't build your
life around a moment,

because a moment doesn't last,

You know that I love you, right?

Of course,

Then please,

forfeit the match tomorrow,

Walk away from this
while you still can,

I can't do that,

I can't, Jess,
that'd be pathetic,

Everybody would
think I was scared,

Not the people that matter!

I don't wanna go out that
way, okay?

You know,

when I nearly drank my
way out of our marriage,

you helped me stop,

You stopped me from
hurting myself,

I'm just trying to
do the same for you,

REPORTER: (ON TV) And
with the startling news of

Tanner Brooks' injury
just before the finals,

we spoke to his
opponent in the match,

Marcus, do you think
this is just bad luck?

Considering the timing
of Tanner's injury,

I'd say his luck's
holding out just fine,

Got to be honest with
you, boys, I mean,

look at the man's career,

It's always been second
place, second best,

Never really had what it takes,

It's no different now,

Won't surprise me
if he doesn't show,

I mean, look at me,

Can you blame the guy if he's
scared to go up against this?

(HORN BLOWING)  REPORTER: Here

and unless Tanner Brooks reports

by rule, the match will
be declared a forfeit,

(AUDIENCE CHANTING) Tanner!
Tanner! Tanner!

(CHANTING CONTINUES)

Jessica, tell me he's
coming, please,

I don't know where he is, Neil,

I woke up this morning
and he was gone,

Check his dressing room,

Yes, again,

(AUDIENCE CHANTING CONTINUES)

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

ANNOUNCER: Tanner Brooks!

Hey, folks, you didn't think we
were gonna disappoint you, did you?

(AUDIENCE CHEERS)

(CRACKLES)

(GASPS) Tanner?

(AUDIENCE JEERING)

(CAMERAS CLICKING)

NEIL: What kind of lab is this?

Why did you give my
husband another treatment?

Mrs, Brooks, I didn't,

I got here,

the locks were cut,
the equipment was all on,

Your husband broke into
this place last night,

Then I want to know

exactly what's happened to him,

Look,
the treatments were developed

to improve the reaction
times of fighter pilots,

There were some side effects

and the DOD decided to
abandon the project,

It doesn't look abandoned to me,

Their decision was premature,

My principles were sound,

and I decided to develop
the treatment on my own,

All it needed was
a few refinements,

And a guinea pig!

The treatment works
best with individuals

that have a very high
degree of athletic ability,

So a professional athlete
was the perfect choice,

You know,
you're just like my husband,

Obsessed with victory,

no matter what the cost,

No matter who it hurts,

Is Tanner dead?

Uh, no,

I don't think so,

Mrs, Brooks,

your husband
subjected himself to

power levels even higher
than I've ever used before,

My read-outs indicate that

the effect has
probably shifted him

into an entirely
different quantum phase,

uh, another time
continuum, if you will,

and in that state, uh,

everything around him has
to be going so slowly,

that seconds to us,

have to seem like hours to him,

How long can he
survive like that?

I have to guess that he can't
last more than 10, maybe 12 hours,

I mean, the strain on his body,
his cells, his metabolism,

has got to be
absolutely incredible,

Is it supposed to be doing that?
(CRACKLING)

We've got to catch this,

(ENERGY PULSATING)

(GASPS) Oh, my God!

(ENERGY PULSATING)

There!

(BEEPS)

JESSICA: It is Tanner,

I thought you said he couldn't
interact with anything,

The chamber is energized the
same way your husband is,

It's been responding
to his presence,

JESSICA: If you're right
about what's happened to him,

he may have been in
that chamber for hours

just to get our attention
for a few seconds,

He may not even
realize we saw him,

Can you use the chamber
to bring him back?

It's possible,

Even if it is,

how are we going to let him know
he has to get back in there?

JESSICA: I'll tell him,

In person,

This treatment will shift you into
the same state as your husband,

at which point, you will be able
to touch and interact with him,

Assuming you can find him,

I think I know
where he might be,

Get back as quickly as possible,

Every second counts,

Okay,

Mrs, Brooks, Mmm-hmm?

I'll bring you back, I promise,

Let's do it,

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

(MACHINE POWERS UP)

(ENERGY CRACKLING)

That's it,

She's gone,

Not quite,

You still have to
bring them back,

That depends entirely on her,

TANNER: And Tanner Brooks
comes up from behind,

With incredible effort,
he snags the ring,

and slams it home,

(CLANGS)

The crowd goes wild,

JESSICA: Tanner,

How did you get here?

Same way you did,

Tanner, everything's
going to be okay, but,

we have to get back to the lab,

Why?

JESSICA: Chen thinks he
can reverse the process,

We got the idea from you, We saw you in
the chamber when you were calling for help,

I wasn't calling for help,
I was waving goodbye,

Why?

(SIGHS)

I thought I'd never
see you again,

TANNER: I was in the chamber
it seemed like forever, I just

wanted to say goodbye,

JESSICA: Are you telling me that
you don't want to come back?

You know, when I first
started Chen's treatments,

it was like I was invincible,

Nobody could touch me in here,

And you know what?

Nobody could,

It was easy,

It wasn't challenging,

It wasn't exciting,
it wasn't dangerous,

It wasn't fun,

I managed to take the
fun out of the only thing

I was ever really any good at,

(TANNER SIGHS)

I hurt the only woman
I ever really loved,

Pretty impressive, huh?

Tanner,

Look, I'm sorry,

I blew it,

Big time,

Hey,

Sometimes it's not
about winning or losing,

It's about accepting
what's happened,

and finding our way through it,

You're the one who
taught me that,

Come on,

Let's get back,

(EXHALES)

Come on,

(ENERGY PULSATING)

MICHAEL: It's not working,
What's the matter?

I should have realized,
(ELECTRICITY CRACKLES)

There are two of them!

What are you doing?

The system is designed
for only one person,

There's not enough
nerve tissue left

to absorb the energy of two,

What are you talking about?

If I'm going to bring them back,
I have to absorb the excess energy,

Please,
there's very little time left,

(ENERGY INCREASING)

I thought I had all
the bugs worked out,

Here, when they get
back, give them that,

What for?

It's an explanation,

(ENERGY CRACKLES)

(GROANING) I'm so sorry,

He's cold,

It's gonna be okay,

Here you go,

Tanner!

What?

(BREATHES DEEPLY)

Your face,

You've aged,

Chen said that,

the treatments would
accelerate the cells,

the metabolism, Aging process,

Even though you were
only there a few hours,,,

It felt like years,

Chen, uh, said to give you this,

He was only 30 years old?

He tested the
treatment on himself,

It's not his fault,

I did this to myself,

I can deal with it,

Hey,

we'll deal with it,

I love you,

CONTROL VOICE: For
the human race,

life is a ceaseless competition

for power, for fame, even love,

But when the desire for victory

is reduced to
winning at any cost,

then we can only
