Anya Kenway?

I have an appointment with David LaSalle.

Not exactly club mud, is it?

Be clear, Dr. Kenway.

Building 16.

Straight ahead. Take a right.

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, David.

Come on.

I'll show you around.

Berkmere was built for H -bomb research during the Cold War.

I know it's not much on amenities, but believe me, you're going to be glad you

decided to come up here.

I only agreed to look.

You promised me the most fascinating project of my career.

So fascinating.

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? Dr. Kinley?

I'm Roy Everesnack, postdoc out of Caltech.

Pleased to meet you, doctor.

Roy's been with the project five months now. I think it's really excellent that

you're here.

Your essay on Bell's interconnectedness here?

Awesome stuff, doc.

It's like my Bible in grad school, man. I used to sleep with it under my pillow.

You gotta take this job, doc.

Well, I'll take it under advisement, Roy. Yeah, Roy got his bachelor's at 15.

Just like you did.

I'm like the janitor around here.

I can never be nearly 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 and go on in.

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

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.

Please stand by.

Tragedy touches many lives.

seemingly without reason.

But is there a hidden purpose that lies beneath our apparently random fates?

URS -28 was born Sasha Vadimski, Belarus, Russia, 1987.

His unwed mother was a tech at Chernobyl, critically injured in the

She didn't even know she was pregnant at the time.

After the reactor blew, she was in intensive care of 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 her in 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

Berkmer.

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 it, Astrophysics 101?

It's a theoretical construct of a tachyon.

A hypothetical subatomic particle.

It's the only thing in the universe faster than light.

If we understood 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 U .S. 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 Biemler. He's the director here at Berkmeer.

I'm in, Doctor.

Excellent. We began this project as an investigation into a URS. It's our

Unexplained Radiation Source.

Thank you. You're welcome. Our subject emits all sorts of high -intensity

electromagnetic pulses.

They're crazy random signals, muon particle streams, even gamma radiation,

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 an 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 ICU.

Too bad you haven't been able to figure out the right equation for the frequency

mix. Well, that's why you're here, aren't you?

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

-energy protons.

URS -28 is nothing more than a closely deformed, irradiated, massive

Maybe, but it gave me a pretty creepy look.

Pure reflex.

His brain has no visual cortex.

You know, David, if URS 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. I mean nothing.

Show me where to hang my toothbrush. I'll get started.

All of our key personnel live right here at Berkner.

Nancy and I were planning a little welcoming party for you. Our place is

night. Just people from work. No big deal.

I'm not much for parties anymore.

Oh. Well, not a whole lot of social life out here in the boonies.

People are looking forward to it.

It would 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.

Hi, Roy.

How's our URS -28 this afternoon?

Well, let's see. Today he homered in the bottom of the knife 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 IV.

I guess he liked his lunch. He's been snoozing ever since.

Don't look now, Roy. It sounds like you're getting attached.

I guess I 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.

URS has no feeling or thought.

You really that sure?

I've seen it in the EEG.

Complete flatline punctuated by random bursts of energy.

I know, but... I'm a scientist.

I deal 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, aren't you?

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 errors. these energy levels.

It's worth taking the risk, considering what we've got to gain.

I had a weird little chat with Roy Everesnick today.

No, Roy's a bright guy.

He's a few kopeks 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 Berkmeer. Nancy used to work administration.

Ah, well.

David always was a lazy dater.

David is really happy you've come on board on you.

You're amongst friends here, okay? If there's anything you need, please ask.

Thank you. I appreciate it.

Honey, would you grab the wine?

Yes, sir.

Oh, 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 to go home. I shouldn't have come.

I'll give you a ride. I said I'm fine.

Sorry. That's it.

Dr. Kenway still in the house, burning the midnight oil.

I 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 Sack 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.

So how long does the process last?

Theoretically, we could keep them on it for years, decades even.

We'd need decades to be able to understand and harness the energy of the

tachyons.

Well, Houston, we got a problem.

Looks like Delta 7 probe is loose.

I'll go check it.

I'll get it. Finish your breakfast.

Dinner.

Right.

You okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, Doc.

You gotta suit up.

Right.

My name is Anya, and I assure you, this does hurt me more than it hurts you.

You've got to suit up.

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

that would appear to her.

It was thought to be the result of radiation poisoning, but ultimately it

revealed that the woman had a genetic brain disorder.

And fuss removed from her post.

The hour is 28.

Sasha.

Is there a secret you're hiding?

you've been here all night?

I went through the Russian files and spent some time in the ICU.

And while I was in there, there was an EMP burst.

And?

Nothing. It was just a weird sensation.

You've got to take better care of yourself with your condition. You don't

to remind me I have a terminal illness.

It's something I live with every day.

back for a second shift any time now.

If you don't go, I'm going to have to tell Roy to play his rap without

headphones.

And we can't let Sasha be toast.

Because Sasha is the only one I know

who's worse off than me.

Hey, Jamie.

I talked to Dr. Biemler.

Said it's okay if I cover the rest of your shift. You sure?

Take off whenever.

Thank you, Roy.

I owe you one. How's my boy?

Out like a light. What else do you expect?

Cool. See you tomorrow.

Bye.

I almost made a difference.

Got a joke for you, Zach?

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.

Stop.

What the hell?

Where's Roy?

He's in the lab.

No, he's not in the lab. I was just in the lab.

Your S -28's all alone. Dr.

Biemler will hit the roof.

Go in there and watch him.

But don't let anyone in the ICU. 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 to me.

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.

I thought...

I think I'm experiencing some kind of connection with Sasha.

Oh, Anya. No, 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

thin air. That's what I saw.

The woman involved?

She 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

Just like my condition is allowing me to experience things that the rest of you

can't. You're under a lot of pressure.

Hard to get any sleep?

No wonder your mind's playing tricks. David, if you had seen what I just saw,

you... You're under 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 level at 2 .12 this afternoon.

Video playback?

The video went out for a few seconds about the same time. Just read static.

We've been having trouble with the new system. Thanks. I'll take over now.

Okay, Dr. Henry.

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.

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.

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?

Perfect little boy who never awakens because his consciousness is caught in

world.

Parallel dimensions.

Sasha got me to him.

His mind is the bridge allowing us to communicate between our worlds.

Do you know how to set him free?

You are his only hope.

Do you have any children?

Well, if you are looking after him in your work, then he is your child, too.

has generated a rift between our dimension and another.

I've seen this dimension.

I know it exists.

I know.

You're not well.

Why don't you take some time to get yourself sorted out?

How much time, Doctor?

I'm officially off this project.

You can't do this.

I have no choice.

We are that 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

And tomorrow, in the name of science, you're going to horribly torture a

boy.

I know it's only 5 .30.

Don't worry about that. Come on in.

What's going on?

I know how to send Sasha through.

What? Where's your laptop?

It's... It's unbelievable.

We can use the proton array.

It's already set up in the ICU.

Instead of training them on Sasha, we can set 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 this other dimensional cell.

All we need to do is divert enough power from the rest of Berkmere to the proton

generators in the lab.

Biemler will never allow it. We can't tell Biemler.

David, I've proven to you that... No, 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 and 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

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 that you

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.

James, take a break. I'd look after everything for an hour or so.

If that doesn't mean someone else might not come by.

Just get me the power I need.

All right.

And David, thank you.

Yeah.

Morning, Sasha.

Good luck. You'll be taking a trip today.

Oh, David.

Good morning.

I wanted to tell you how badly I feel.

I had to let Anya go. I know how close you are.

Yeah, well, I mean, she's a pro.

She'll get over it. Let's go over the final checklist with you before we

actually get to it.

Dr. Kenway's in the lab.

What the hell is she doing?

Anya, come out of there. The computer's running some kind of automatic sequence.

Well, shut it down.

It can't. She's controlling it from inside the ICU.

We're going to get her out of there.

Sir, she damaged the suit. There's more in the radiation lab.

Anya, you're sick.

You don't know what you're doing.

David, talk to me.

What can I tell her, Frank?

You're going to tell her to get out of there.

But 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 K6 resistor board.

Have you lost your mind?

My end's over.

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 now. I think it's really

that you're here.

Your essay on Bell's interconnectedness serum?

Awesome stuff, Doc. It's like my Bible in grad school, man. I used to sleep

it under my pillow.

You gotta take this job, Doc.

You okay on that?

Dr. LaSalle, it's impossible.

URS -28 is 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.
