Yeah.

You getting the rhythm?

Nothing.

Please don't.

No!

I'm here!

Look at me!

I'm here!

The damn damn again?

I did it this time.

What?

I died.

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 dilute 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 here.

You

are about

to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to

the outer limit.

We exist in this time.

And in this space.

But where are we when we dream?

Before we are born?

Or after we die?

What if we exist in many times and many spaces?

Now and forever?

Do I have to go in there? Only if you want to keep doing your research.

Our research.

Okay, our research.

But without additional funding, it's not going to be anybody's research.

scientific search for the human soul.

I think I have to write that in the Times.

You know, the crazies are going to be lined up and they're waiting for us.

It doesn't make fundraising any easier.

Don't worry.

You'll have one. You always do.

Our latest test subject is a chimpanzee named Duncan.

Here's Duncan during his first test in the hyperspace chamber.

Like all of our other animal subjects, Duncan reached a state approximating

hibernation just a few minutes after the test began.

Body temperature, heart rate, respiration all fell off dramatically,

electrical activity in his brain exceeded that of someone experiencing

sleep.

And here he is after the test, alive and well.

Dr. Warfield, Carl Haven from the Morgan Foundation.

Oh, yes, Mr. Haven, we spoke on the phone. Thank you for coming.

Do you really believe your subjects, these animals, are having an out -of

experience in this chamber of yours, that some part of them splits off and

travels to another dimension?

Well, I honestly wish I knew whether they were or not, but that's not the

of this phase of our testing.

So far, we've just been merely trying to determine the safety of the hyperspace

chamber. We'd like to report that not one of our animal subjects has been hurt

or injured in any of these sessions.

Dr. Warfield, many of us here believe that you are the person that's finally

going to prove that each and every one of us has a real live soul.

My question for you is, when are you going to put a real live, honest -to

-goodness human being in that chamber of yours?

Well, in our next days of tests.

which is what we're currently trying to secure funding for while you're all

here. I have a question, Dr. Warfield.

John Wymer. Yeah, I know who you are, Mr. Wymer. On what moral basis do you

conduct your research?

Don't you mean on what religious basis?

The soul is not something to be worn or discarded like a pair of swimming trunks

one puts on to go swimming.

The human soul is God's eternal truth.

Well, look, I never personally defined my work as a search for the human soul.

That was a newspaper article.

Like those who would genetically engineer a human birth or abort a living

inside a woman's womb, you were defying God's will.

How so?

You're searching for the face of God instead of sitting back and letting him

reveal himself on his own schedule.

How did such fact -religious research come to be, sanctioned by this respected

institute of higher learning? Wait, look, I don't understand. This was not a

problem until you turned it into a religious issue, Mr. Weimar.

Rebecca.

All right, I suggest that we open dialogue between all the parties

hopefully come to some sort of sane and rational solution to this matter.

When you're ready to come down and humble yourself.

Do you think what we're doing is wrong?

You're letting Weimer get to you.

I'm just so damn tired of these tug -of -wars between scientists and

theologians. Well, why should they start coexisting now? They haven't for

centuries. Well, why shouldn't we?

I'm not looking to define a soul. All I want is a scientific explanation for

what happened to me in that accident.

That does not mean I'm refuting God.

Hey, I know that.

Swimer makes us sound like devil worshippers.

Tempting fate and God's wrath.

God blessed us with curiosity.

These questions lead to discoveries which in turn result in progress. Ben,

without curiosity, where the hell would we be?

Back in the garden with Eve?

Sorry. Listen, scientists always sound foolish when they...

Begin discussing metaphysics. That's why so many of us wisely refrain from doing

so.

What about you, Amy?

Do you believe that you have a soul?

Me?

Uh, yeah.

I mean, it's never been proven that we don't have one.

Good evening. Hello, please come in. Anything to report?

I was just sifting through the latest test data.

And?

Dr. Warfield's theories are fascinating, really.

They rest on the assumption that elementary particles are these tiny

loops. I mean, that's what we're all made of, basically.

Subatomic vibrations.

She believes that we're vibrating in phase with our three -dimensional world

out of phase with other dimensions.

By modifying the vibrations, Dr. Warfield is trying to access... Amy, I'm

interested in science.

I need to know exactly where Dr. Warfield is in her research.

She's ready to start testing on human subjects.

We can't allow that to happen.

Well, if none of her grants come through, then she won't have the funding

start... No, that's not what I mean.

Amy, pride is the downfall of any human being.

It's this woman's pride that concerns us here.

I mean, life is not being out of phase with other dimensions.

Some accident that God made, we need to correct.

The purpose of life... to glorify God.

Dr. Warfield's pride is in violent opposition to that privilege.

She must be talked to.

You're here early.

I woke up early. I...

I thought I'd come in and crunch the numbers from yesterday's test.

Where's Ben?

He has an errand to run. Hello?

Yeah, hi, Phil. What?

Oh!

Don, we needed that grant.

Yes,

I'm aware. We're almost out of funding.

What about Carl Haven? What did he have to say after the presentation yesterday?

Oh, well, I'll see if I can turn him around.

Yeah, okay, bye.

Don!

He just lost the DOE grant.

program 64A.

That's a program designed for a human test subject.

I didn't tell you. I just found one.

Rebecca, you can't do this.

It's not a good idea.

What's Ben going to say?

Chances are we'll be done by the time he gets here. See what he has to say then.

64A Amy, now.

What about Mr. Weimer? To hell with Mr. Weimer.

I'm sorry.

Just don't think about it.

Just do it.

I can't.

Amy, if you don't help me, I'll load the program and let the computer run it.

I'd much rather have you in the computer monitoring me.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What's the problem? What happened?

Amy?

Oh,

God. What do I do?

We did it. Amy, we did it.

I was right.

I mean, you can't see me, you can't hear me, but I'm here and I've done it.

We've done it. We've accessed another dimension.

Ben. I've got to tell Ben.

Can't go alone.

Thank you.

Bye -bye.

Our physical laws are rooted in space, time, entropy,

energy, momentum, but without space and time.

They're meaningless.

Oh, Ben, my wonderful, wonderful husband.

You don't even know I'm here right now.

I just want to tell you that I love you, Benjamin McCormick. I love you, I love

you, I love you.

Don't get so excited, honey.

I'd like you to call my wife, please. Oh, you're such a sweetheart.

She's been feeling a little down lately.

Not anymore.

No physical body, no reflection.

I wonder if... Well, Alice did it.

we are.

Vibrations.

Frequencies.

Something else we're right about.

Becca?

Amy?

Where's everybody?

Lab.

Thank God it's Amy.

It's been a terrible accident.

You have to come to the hospital. What?

Rebecca.

Amy,

what happened? Where is she? She's in there. This room?

Wait outside.

What's wrong with her? That's what the doctor's trying to find out.

Where is she?

You don't know what's wrong with her? Please, you'll have to wait outside.

You can speak to the doctor in a minute.

and you've got to get me back to the lab. Amy, tell me again what happened.

how can I get through to you? I got to the lab at the usual time, and when I

there, Rebecca had strapped herself into the chamber.

What? As far as I could tell, she had loaded 64A into the computer and set it

run automatically. The human test subject program?

It must have been a glitch. Otherwise, the power levels wouldn't have been so

high. Think about the test we've been doing.

You have to get back to the chamber. Shut the lab down. No, you can't let

happen. I don't give a damn about the lab. I just want my wife back.

Doctor.

How is she?

Why are you lying?

This isn't your fault.

I practically twisted your arm to get you to help me.

I'm afraid her brain is showing low level of activity.

I always have and I always will.

You have to bring my body back here.

I'm still here.

Becca, why did you do this?

What are you thinking?

I should have been here.

It's my fault! No!

Okay. I was so afraid you wouldn't come.

Be ridiculous.

I'm here, aren't I?

I'd like to come in, though, if that's all right.

Okay, I'm sorry. Come in.

Where are my manners?

Can I offer you anything?

No, no. No, no. I can stay long.

I heard all about it on the news.

Dr. Warfield used herself as a guinea pig in her own experiment.

Yeah.

I was there.

I mean, I told them that I wasn't, but... I was there.

Why did you tell them you weren't?

Amy.

Amy, I want you to sit down.

Take a deep breath.

And try to relax.

The experiment is designed to take place at a preset power level.

I raised the input past the preset level.

You cranked up the power.

No. I mean... Yeah.

A little, I mean, just to throw the data off, you know.

And then something happened.

Everything, the power just increasing.

It was going up.

And I tried to bring it back down, but it wouldn't respond to my commands.

Everything was just, it was going crazy. And I froze.

I couldn't move.

By the time I figured out a way to reverse the power, it was too late.

You've done nothing wrong in denying God.

I know. I mean, Rebecca's work was wrong. Of course it was.

I mean, it was like she was trying to prove that you don't have to believe in

God to have a soul. You don't have to go to church or be divided. How do you

know what I'm trying to prove?

You might have asked me what I believe. Coming to work day after day, fighting

on me. Is this the angel of the Lord? Oh, come on!

This wasn't the Lord's work. This was yours.

What do we do now?

We can't bring Family Foremost into that.

We can?

If people ever thought that I'd put you up to this, it would be a terrible blow

to Family Foremost.

Our local chapter might never recover.

What do I do?

Make sure no one ever finds out.

You didn't want me to do this.

Amy, any change?

No.

I can't tell you how

sorry I am about all of this.

Hey, it's not your fault.

You weren't even there.

Oh, Ben, but I'm here.

The bulb must be bad.

I hate to hear like this.

Don't do this.

Tell Ben the truth.

Um, I'm gonna, um, I have to run some errands. I'm gonna go by the lab. What

for? Can I get you anything?

No, thanks. Um, I'll be back.

I know you're here, Rebecca.

I can feel you.

You are here, aren't you?

This light.

Make it flicker like you did at the hospital.

Rebecca.

This is the devil's work.

Man's arrogance must be stopped.

Science is not divine.

You, Weimer, are.

This is not yours anymore.

Pray for my forgiveness, Rebecca.

And I will pray for you.

Amy, don't do this. You can save me.

May God have mercy on our souls.

Amy, don't do this. You can save me.

Rebecca, you're damned and you have nobody to blame but yourself.

Could you get me a pitcher of water?

We have a code blue. Get Dr. Minkoff in here.

Come on in. Get in here now.

Home.

Home. Go.

See you later.

Mr. Bellini, hand me the pamphlet.

Wait, wait.

You can help me.

Please tell Ben you saw me.

For a

moment,

I thought we'd lost you.

I'm done.

I'm done.

Yeah, yeah

I'll pray with you if you like.

What the hell is there to pray about?

Stop. You're Ben, aren't you?

Yes.

I saw her.

Your wife.

What? When I left my body, I floated and she was standing right next to my bed.

She talked to me.

She told me to tell you that she was here, Ben.

She was here.

Let's go.

She's alive.

That means it worked. The experiment worked.

Ben, you're not making any sense.

Rebecca's alive. She crossed over. I've got to get to the lab.

I don't know if you're here or...

Lost road somewhere else, but here

But

I couldn't live without you.

Now there's a chance to live with you.

Perhaps at the end of life's journey, another begins.

Two hearts, two minds.

Two souls, one destiny.
