Original subtitles

This writ is a Supreme Court final reversal. Dr.

Carpenter is now a free man, and you are required by the law to put me in

contact with him.

If the Supreme Court tells us your client didn't kill his wife, naturally,

accept the verdict.

Don't get cute with me, Captain.

I proved that my client was innocent.

Indeed.

But the fact Dr.

Carpenter escaped...

What makes you think we know where he is?

Well, if you people weren't covering something up, I wouldn't have gotten

runaround. No one in this department is party to a cover -up.

Carpenter isn't here, and we don't know where he is.

But I'll get the word to Captain Lambert, and he'll find your client.

No, no, no.

I'm sorry, but that is not good enough because I don't trust Darian Lambert.

I intend to throw that writ on him personally.

You don't know what you're getting into.

Well, I do know that I'm not going to take a chance on what Darian Lambert

do if I'm not there to keep him honest.

Now, I am on this case until my client is completely out of danger.

Very well.

I'll give you full cooperation.

But you must understand that what you are asking involves enormous personal

risk.

I would risk anything.

I would crawl to the ends of the earth just to set my client free, okay?

That's a figure of speech.

Would you really risk your life?

I am quite serious.

Yes. Laura Darrow, attorney for the defense. My captain's most formidable

adversary in the 22nd century was about to take a trip in time.

It began in the future.

A scientist turning to evil. A time machine called TRAX.

Criminals who vanish.

And a lawman with a mission.

He has one weapon and a computer named Selma.

Good morning, Captain Lambert.

With him, he will travel to a time more innocent than his own.

Now, he is among us.

A special breed of man.

A hunter.

Traveling through our world, searching for fugitives from his own.

knowing he cannot go home until he has found them all.

His name is Darian Lambert, and this is his story.

These are the journals of Darian Lambert, Captain.

Fugitive retrieval section, A .D.

2193.

For several days we had been following Frederick Redalji, a fugitive directly

connected to Dr. Mordecai Zambi. It was the captain's hope that this man would

lead us to Zambi himself.

Yes.

Be specific. Behind you where?

I'm on the roof.

Where? What roof?

Where are you?

He's coming up the stairs. I can hear him.

Hello?

Aren't you going to send me back?

A bastard like you back what for?

A fair trial?

A war of the comfortable prison room?

That's not justice.

This is justice!

Don't drop me!

Please! Don't drop me!

All right, all right, all right. I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going

to give you a little break in exchange for most zombies.

I can't do that.

Zombie would kill me.

You've got a tough decision to make.

Zombie may find you later, but I will kill you right now.

Don't drop me, please. Where's Zombie? Where is he?

I'm listening.

He's supposed to be back tomorrow.

Tomorrow. Where?

Potomac outpatient.

Flip 87. I want to know about today.

What? You're going to shoot me in the back?

You bet.

Now you give my best to Matamba.

Transmission tone, Selma.

Visual mode, Selma.

Coordinate transmission confirmed?

Confirmed.

Fine.

Now the department knows where we are.

And more importantly, we know where to find Zombie.

Slip 87 is part of an exclusive section of the marina.

There will be security guards.

We'll worry about that tomorrow.

Actually, I'm glad it's tomorrow.

I could use a good night's rest.

Let's go home.

Captain.

Captain.

It's time to get up.

It's not the telephone, Captain. It's me.

You wanted to get an early start.

Yeah, right.

What is your ring like, then?

It's one of the few sounds irritating enough to wake you up.

Very clever.

Someone at the door.

Well, if you're so smart, why don't you answer it?

I don't do doors, Captain.

Hello, Lambert.

Salma, did you just see what I think I just saw?

I saw Laura Darrow, the attorney who defended 11 cases in which you were the

arresting officer. She won nine of those cases. What is she doing here?

I suggest you open the door and ask her.

Right.

A Supreme Court writ, Lambert.

Now may I come in?

Thank you.

What's happened?

Frederick's disappeared, Dr. Summit.

Captain Lambert.

Constantly interfering with my agenda.

We must assume Frederick has talked.

Yes. Damn.

He could have revealed my plans to take over the Strategic Science Center.

You have to have seen that.

Nothing must interfere with that.

Lambert forces my hand.

This is Dr. Zombie.

Remember that procedure we talked about?

I think it is time for me to pick up a new cover.

Expect me in a day or two.

You got the rip, but I don't know how because he's guilty as hell.

Put that gun away.

That is not the opinion.

I don't want to argue about it, okay?

I'm going to go after your man after I finish up some more important business.

Nothing is more important than an innocent man in hiding because you have

railroaded him.

What do you know about Mordecai's zombie?

Um, didn't he win the Nobel Prize a few years back?

That's before he went into the business of helping murderers escape to the 20th

century.

So he's the one who might be behind all of this?

There's no way of telling how many deaths he's responsible for.

I want him, and I'm moving on him. Now, if you are just stalling me on this, I

will nail your ass to the courtroom wall. I will.

This is no stall.

Tommy's going down today, and then I will give your carpenter my full

Deal?

Counselor?

Now, if Carpenter can be found, it's only going to take a few days.

Besides, that's all the time I can spare.

Well, when you're ready, I'll send you home.

Hold it. I'm not going back without my client.

Wait a minute.

That rig doesn't require that I let you go along with me.

Listen to me, Lambert. My body has been pummeled and violated by delta waves. I

have risked my life to get here. And why?

Because I want the sheer pleasure of telling Dr.

Carpenter in your presence that he has been vindicated.

So I'm staying.

Fine. You stay.

I'm tending the business.

Fine.

While you're waiting, why don't you do something productive?

Like what?

Like go over to Benton and Clark's and buy some up -to -date clothes.

What? I...

I checked these against the fashion archives, but they're right. From when?

1950?

Now you look like a misfit.

The dress, the makeup, the hair.

It's all wrong.

I'll be back in a couple hours.

You're a misfit.

You're right, Selma. We can't just walk up and sign this bullet.

I do not detect any life form.

Thanks, Selma.

Nothing scientific.

Some bills.

No references to zombie.

Owner seems to be a Carl von Ritterdorf.

An unlikely alias for zombie.

Visual mode, Selma.

Well, either Frederick was lying or zombies cleared out. Either way, we've

missed him again.

Not to be discouraged, Captain.

You will triumph someday.

Well, thanks for the vote of confidence, Selma.

I do not vote, Captain. I was projecting the probabilities.

Well, then, can you project the probabilities of zombies' whereabouts?

No.

No. Insufficient data for probability inferences.

Do you realize that gives me no honorable basis for shirking this daryl?

You may not ignore an order of the Supreme Court.

Selma, you really are quite a prig.

Let's go home and run the carpenter file.

I'll bet he's changed his name.

There are over 60 million names he might have chosen.

All right, well, give me the names that are rough synonyms for carpenter.

Eilidh.

Cooper. Hooper.

Joyner. Uh -huh.

Wainwright. That has a ring to it.

Fine. Try that.

I have three Dr. Wainwright listed in the continental United States.

Now we're cooking.

Come in.

I can't reach the doorknob.

Then it's better.

How much did that set you back?

About $8 ,000. I just charged your account, though.

Your what?

Don't worry, Lambert. I'll reimburse the department when I get home.

I hope so.

I've been working on your case.

Then you got zombie.

No, not this time.

Raise your right hand.

What for?

I'm going to deputize you.

Oh, come on, Lambert. You cannot deputize a defense attorney.

I can do any damn thing I want. I'm the law here.

Now, put up your right hand.

Repeat after me.

I swear... I swear... Subject to sanctions of the Official Secrets Act...

Subject to sanctions of the Official Secrets Act... I will not further

communicate... I will not further communicate... What I'm about to hear...

What I'm about to hear. With any unauthorized person?

With any unauthorized person. At any time, so help me God. At any time, so

me God.

Okay.

Okay, that's worse.

So what's all this about?

This is Soma.

Oh, the supercomputer. I've been briefed on that.

I prefer to be called her.

Oh.

Well, how do you do?

Okay. We've traced your guy to one of three plastic surgeons named Wainwright.

We need you to confirm the ID.

Oh, sure.

Visual project mode, Selma.

On the left is a mugshot of Miss Darrow's client.

On the right is Dr. Samuel Wainwright of Topeka, Kansas.

No match.

This is Dr. Larry Wainwright of San Francisco.

No match.

This is Dr. Lawrence Wainwright of Rochester, Minnesota.

Oh, who are you trying to kid? I mean, his own mother couldn't identify him

that. There's no way.

Patience, please.

Selma, tighten grain cluster perimeters.

And intensify acuteness, please.

That's him. My God, you fell. and that is him.

Pack your bags, counselor.

We're going to Minnesota.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are approaching the Twin Cities.

The temperature is 78 degrees under clear skies.

Please observe the seatbelt sign and thank you for flying continent. You

change, do you? You know, you never listen.

Don't attack me right now. How many times do you have to tell you? He

have two rooms. There's cancellations. I'm sorry.

There's another medical convention in town.

We only have one room left.

One room.

Are there separate beds?

Yes, ma 'am.

We'll take it.

We'll take it. Are you happy now? Yes, I'm happy. Fine, folks, doctors.

No. Good.

They're lousy tippers, you know.

Wait, Rochester is the home of the Amalgamated Clinic, isn't it?

Well, there are a bunch of clinics here.

I guess the Mayo was the biggest.

But I never heard of Amalgamated.

Come on, the Amalgamated Clinic?

Honey, honey, let's check out the room. Come on. I can't believe he's never

heard of the amalgamated clinics.

I mean, that's amazing. They discovered the cure for cancer. Maybe it's because

the clinics haven't amalgamated yet.

Well, well, no.

Oh, charming.

It's not very modern.

Modern? No, it's all relative.

Well, we better talk about how to approach Dr. Carpenter tomorrow.

Well, it's not exactly a police tactical operation.

I just tell him the good news.

What about me? He sees me, he might go nuts.

Nuts?

Klinko. He might get violent.

You are really thinking like a cop.

I am a cop.

Just trust me on this one, Lambert.

As soon as Dr. Carpenter sees me, he will know that everything is all right.

All right, Counselor, we'll play it your way.

So which bed do you want?

Well, I was kind of figuring we'd put the two together.

Forget it.

Oh, come on. You got lucky once, Lambert. Don't push it.

Once?

Once?

Well, once worth remembering.

Lambert, I have a hard time drawing a line between our professional relations

and, well, anything else.

I didn't come all this way for fun and games, so let's just keep this strictly

professional.

Professional? Yes, we're professional.

All right. You want professional?

I got it right here. Okay?

Professional.

Like it so far?

That's just perfect. How's that?

Professional?

Okay.

Good night, counselor.

Have a good evening.

Okay?

That's just perfect.

What? Did you say something? Yeah, I said that's just perfect. Good.

Hello. We'd like to talk to the doctor.

I'm sorry, but the doctor's not taking any new patients. Oh, no, no. We're here

on business.

Please tell him that his lawyer would like to see him.

Of course.

You can take a seat over there. Thank you.

It'll just be a moment.

Bob, why didn't you call?

Is there any good... Laura!

Yeah!

Laura! Do you have any idea why I'm here?

You, uh, committed a crime?

No. I came to take you back.

Back? Yes!

You remember Captain Lampert?

No! I told you so.

Dr. Carpenter!

Dr. Carpenter, wait!

Get off! What do you think you're...

Relax, Doc. You're a free man.

Free? That's right. The court says you're innocent.

Innocent? Yes, that's right. Innocent.

Well, you might have called first.

Well, you understand that I'm overwhelmed.

Innocent.

I never thought... Laura, how can I ever thank you? Oh,

really, there's no need.

And for you, Captain Lambert, of all people to bring me the news.

Took a big man.

I really came along to arrange your passage home.

Home?

Of course, I can go back now.

Well, there's so much to do, you know. I've been here quite a while.

I have a life.

I practice.

Then there's the church.

I'm sorry, but I can't wait around here.

Naturally.

But I can't just fold my tent.

I have patients. I can't leave in the lurch.

Well, what about your family? I mean, they need you.

Yes, my brother and my sisters.

How I met them.

Well, what to do?

Please, can I just have some time to sort things out?

Oh, of course, of course.

I can give you a day.

Then I have to be moving on.

One day?

Well, I'll try.

I'll just be ready tomorrow.

One way or the other.

We'll see you then.

Bless you both.

Thanks, Lambert.

Selma did most of the work.

That's true, but I can't kiss Selma.

Not sure what I did to deserve that.

It's what you didn't do. You didn't give me a hard time.

Yeah. Yeah, listen, something's come up. We've got to cancel the surgery.

What are you trying to say?

I've had a visitor.

Guess who it was?

Don't play games with me.

That changes everything.

It's all so strange. I don't know.

Maybe I can help you. Let's see.

Red snapper.

It's a fish. It's not a lobster. I got taken on that once myself.

New York cut. It's a thick beef steak.

Sort of like a wedger.

Wedger?

And rare is not scarce.

It just means they serve it pink on the inside.

Well,

what is this corn on the cob that seems to be with absolutely everything?

I have no idea, but I think we should order it.

Let's do.

Hey, how are the cubs doing?

Now, you know that I do not follow.

Right, right, right, right.

They're in third place.

I looked it up when they told me that you would be here.

They're in third place. That's great.

It was nice of you to check that for me.

Thanks.

Sounds like our favorite song, huh?

Oh, at least we learned how to poke her.

So if anyone ever asks me, I'm going to deny it.

So you want to watch some television?

No, why don't you activate the pyro tube?

They don't have pyro tubes.

That burns wood.

The Mattel has been generous enough to provide us with the makings.

Captain? Shall we?

Okay.

You know, the 20th century isn't nearly as backward as I expected it to be. I'm

actually enjoying myself here.

And why not?

You finished a case you've been struggling with for a long time.

I think we ought to celebrate.

Yeah. She had some champagne.

What was that again?

Champagne.

Wait right there.

Nice touch.

A small tribute from a vanquished opponent.

To a successful and not unpleasant collaboration.

Why couldn't we ever make it work before?

Might be because we were always on the opposite side.

Well, the law stinks.

Well, that's my line, stranger.

You know, to tell you the truth...

Half the time, I secretly agree with you about strict law enforcement.

Half the time, I admire you for defending individuals' rights against

system.

Really?

Really.

But the gap between us isn't so big after all.

I guess not.

Well, perhaps this is a good time to bridge that gap.

What is it, Selma?

May I suggest you put me on battery charge?

Thank you, Selma.

Good night.

You know, after we tamper with Dr. Carpenter, I could always, well,

stay for a couple of days.

Laura,

it's been fun, but... Oh, but you're busy. You have things to do.

Well, I've got a lot to do. I'm busy. Yeah, well, we've got to move on. I

know what I was thinking.

Let's go.

Okay.

Let's get it done, Counselor.

Okay, Captain.

Let's do it.

Right on time.

Oh, you wouldn't believe the night that I just had.

Well, come in.

Come in.

I had so many arrangements to make, so many affairs to put in order. So you

ready to go home?

Well, I've thought it over carefully, and I've decided not to go.

You what?

Well, things are going so well for me here that... Well, is it because of

Captain Lambert? Did you think that I might be leading you into some sort of a

trap? Oh, no, my dear.

Just be honest. Because I would die before I betray a client. Very

Miss Darrow.

This may be your big opportunity.

Carl.

In Captain Lambert's pocket, you'll find a keychain with a car alarm.

It's a weapon.

I must thank you, Captain, for walking into my...

Little trap.

Now I won't have to undergo Dr.

Carpenter's knife to change my identity.

A new face wouldn't have worked. Your smell would have given you away.

Oh, no unpleasantness, please.

Not when I'm feeling so expensive.

How soon will you be ready?

A few hours.

It doesn't make any sense, Doctor. Why would you help a man like that?

For money, my dear.

Why else?

I don't believe this.

It's quite simple, Miss Darrow.

Both you and Dr. Carpenter help criminals escape punishment.

He does it with a scalpel.

You do it with a law.

Get them out of here.

Move it.

What every plastic surgeon needs, huh? Security lockup for involuntary

Still think he's innocent?

Oh, no, look, this has nothing to do with whether or not he killed his wife.

Laura, he's about to kill us. I know that.

I admit, he's gone bad.

But he was an innocent man. I mean, just consider what he's been through.

Move closer.

I mean, you hounded him.

The media absolutely crucified him. The state prosecuted him. And the first jury

just misjudged him.

Closer.

He's a man who's driven himself to exile.

Come here. And here, instead of being a respected professional,

he's just a fish out of water.

Much closer. Come on.

How does that poem go?

I'm a stranger.

and afraid in a land I never made.

Now, I want you to just think about that before you judge him, okay?

Does the defense rest?

Yes. Put your head on my chest.

Oh, God, Lambert, this is hardly the time or the place. I mean it. Just do

Come on.

All right, Selma, sound check, please.

I can hear you, but not very well.

Can you hear what she's saying?

She can hear you, but not very well.

Okay, okay.

Relate to me what she says.

Okay. All right, Soma.

Handcuffs, I understand, but not straight jackets.

Now, there is a great magician from this century named Houdini.

How did he do it?

Tertiary mind control.

Tertiary mind control. Autonomic concentration.

Autonomic... concentration elevate body temperature elevate body temperature

reduce heart rate reduce heart rate breathing breathing joints become

and joints become pliable can you do all that

Incredible. Incredible.

All

right,

I'm going to get you out of here.

Why? Because it's dangerous.

I am damn tired of men always telling me that it's too dangerous. What do you

think I'm made of? Pip -pop?

We gotta go get those guys.

It's horrific, but it's this way.

They got away.

Back off!

Everybody, hands where I can see them. Don't even think about it. Now, where's

Zombie? Right here, Captain.

Hank, the gun.

Doctor, let's do it now.

It'll just be a minute.

Miss Darrow, come here.

You really enjoy killing people, don't you, Dr. Zombie?

Oh, Captain.

You must know the killing is incidental.

What I enjoy is problem solving.

For example, when you are dead, I will take total control of this country's

advanced research laboratory.

The Strategic Science Center. Of course.

Which only confirms the necessity of your elimination.

I'm ready, Dr. Southerly.

Time for your injection, Captain.

It's quite painless, really. It's like dying naturally.

Xylamine, no doubt.

Yes.

Ten units.

That's how you said that he killed his wife.

Does that surprise you? Captain Lambert is a remarkably good detective.

So you were guilty all along.

Which just shows what a brilliant lawyer you are.

Say goodbye, Captain.

Selma? Yes, Captain?

I want you to monitor the Strategic Science Center's computers.

Round the clock.

That bastard shows his little finger, he's mine.

a little gift for the chief.

Would you mind delivering it for me?

Sure.

When he gets back from vacation, what is it?

It's a box of cigars.

You want me to smuggle an illegal threat for you? Well, if you get caught, I'll

testify to your good character.

You bastard.

What? The cigars? No, because...

You are being so nice to me, but you're not asking me to stay.

Are you ever going to come home?

Someday.

Don't expect me to be waiting for you because I am not going to stay solo

forever.

You will. You're too aggravating to be with someone else.

In that case, why don't you give me a call when you get back?

You bet.

Well, I guess I'm all ready.

I'm going to miss you.

Be gentle.
