These are the journals of Darien
Lambert, Captain, Fugitive Retrieval

.D.

2193.

That's the one. The one with the red on
his ears.

I knew the little buggers weren't
extinct.

Yeah, well, come on, mate. We'd better
get him before he disappears into the

shrubbery.

He needs the koala because he's got a
sick kid on his hands.

Tough.

Come on, Jake. We've got

$100 ,000 worth of koala disappearing
into the jungle.

Clive, the old man's dead.

Too bad. Come on.

You hear that?

The locals around here collect heads for
a hobby, mate.

Well, what about the koala?

Forget the koala. We got to get out of
here.

Yeah.

It began in the future.

A time machine called Trax.

Criminals who vanish.

And a lawman who must pursue into the
past.

Now he's among us.

A special breed of man.

He has one weapon and a computer named
Selma.

Good morning, Captain Lambert.

With her, he will travel 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.

My captain and I had just returned from
a grueling mission.

We were looking forward to a long
-needed rest, but that was not to be.

No.

Electric bill.

Phone bill.

Gas bill.

Charge card. Selma, how long before the
World Banking Authority proposes a

centralized credit system?

The centralized credit system was first
established.

Captain, I'm sorry.

I'm experiencing something I cannot
explain.

Visual mode.

Selma, what's going on?

Incoming transmission.

Circuit to patient.

How is this compromised?

Captain, transmission from our time.

That's not possible.

Microlinear symbiotics.

Reflexive codification.

Transitive frequency.

Format omega.

A distress signal.

Medical emergency.

Worldwide epidemic.

He about the power of malaria.

Two million dead.

Five million infected.

My God.

Two million dead.

Five million infected.

Selma, I didn't get that.

Urgently required.

Carlos, come on.

Assistance requested.

What kind of assistance?

Selma!

Selma, visual mode.

Energy reserve dangerously low.

Scanning intermittent.

Captain, go to Wesley Institute.

What do I do there?

Dr. Kincaid.

Dr. Catherine Kincaid.

Battery charge mode.

Battery charge mode.

Dr. Kincaid? Hold on a sec.

Amazing.

What is it?

It's an entirely new concept in bath
oil.

Bath oil?

Look, I'm sorry. I must be in the wrong
place.

I was looking for Dr.

Catherine Kincaid.

My friends call me Kate.

It's Darian Lambert. I'm an investigator
with the Center for Disease Control.

I assumed you worked in medical
research.

Gave it up for cosmetic.

The work's not as challenging, but at
least no one calls you a quack.

So, what can I do for you, Mr. Lambert?

I was wondering what you could tell me
about P.

valstaparum malaria.

I know it's a horrible way to die.

Then you've had some experience with the
disease?

Look, Mr. Lambert, nobody in the medical
community has been interested in that

strain of malaria for 50 years.

Why have you come to me?

There has been a rather serious
outbreak.

In New Guinea?

I'm sorry. The exact location of the
epidemic is classified.

Epidemic? The infection is spreading
quickly.

That's why we've stepped up our efforts
to find a cure.

Now, your name came up on my computer.

And to be perfectly honest with you, I
don't know why she... I don't know why

they sent me to find you.

They sent you... because of my father.

Dr. Benjamin Kincaid, Chief Medical
Officer, Papua New Guinea, 1945.

My father's unit was building an
airstrip near a fitamen during

Guinea campaign.

Dozens of his men became infected with
an unusual strain of malaria.

Later identified as P.

valsaparil. The parasite proved
resistant to all known therapy.

My father watched in horrors one by one.

The infected men slipped into a coma and
died.

Out of desperation, he consulted with a
local medicine man.

He told my father that there was only
one cure.

The blood of the lavabuna.

The scarlet koala.

The scarlet koala.

My father realized that it could contain
the antibodies necessary for fighting

the disease.

He took a small blood sample, developed
a serum, and inoculated 20 of the

infected men.

What happened?

They all recovered.

Completely.

Wait a minute. Did I miss something
here?

According to the sources that I checked,
there is no cure.

For P.

valsiperum malaria.

Yeah, well, my father was a hero among
his own men, but in scientific terms, it

was a fluke, not a cure.

The medical community refused to accept
his findings.

So that was it?

Oh, not by a long shot.

After my father retired from the army,
he returned to New Guinea.

He spent the last 30 years of his life
treating the natives and trying to get

recognition for his serum.

After medical school, I spent every
summer trekking through the jungles with

father.

And when he died, I tried to continue
his work, but by then it was too late.

Too late for what?

For the New Guinea koala.

I thought they were plentiful.

No, you're thinking of the Australian
koala.

Lavabuna is a different subspecies.

They were scarce even during the war,
but in the late 80s, they were virtually

extinct.

Virtually?

On my last trip, I saw only one.

And I've been searching every day for
months.

If you had this koala, could you
reproduce the serum?

Well, yes, of course.

Kate, I need you to go with me to New
Guinea.

Oh, you're kidding.

No, no, I think catching this scarlet
koala...

It's the only way we're going to lick
this thing.

I just told you they're practically
extinct. Now, what makes you think we'd

succeed? I have all the resources of the
government, access to unlimited

technology. Oh, technology or no
technology.

New Guinea is still a treacherous place.
If the poisonous snakes don't get you,

then the headhunters probably would.

That's why I need you to show me the
way.

You don't know what you're asking.

I think I do.

You're still a doctor, Catherine. People
are dying, and your father's work could

save them.

I have to make the phone call.

By the time we arrived in New Guinea, I
was fully functional again.

My captain had disguised me...

At the communication device.

Where you say again, Missy?

Miniman. It's a small village on the
Sepik River.

It's about a hundred miles north of
Telefolman.

No good.

No good, Missy.

No good.

No can go.

White fella kill shaman.

Headhunter go berserk.

Better you go beach. Get down.

Much more safe.

No, this is a scientific expedition.

Yeah, yeah. I see long before time.

White fellow go jungle, hunt butterfly.

Much better you go tourist, okay,
butterfly?

We're not butterfly hunters.

We're after Lava Buna.

Lava Buna?

Very rare.

But we know how to find one.

Okay. You, Lord, we go.

This better be important, Sarli. You're
interrupting my busy schedule.

You still want Lava Buna?

You bet.

How much money you pay?

Ten thousand, when we have it in our
hands.

Could be I do.

Timetrack will continue.

So we'll call you when we're ready to be
picked up.

Darian, that's a cellular phone. There's
not a transmitter within 500 miles

here. Actually, it's a high -powered
computerized radio designed by the

government. It's just disguised as a
telephone for security reasons.

Oh, I see.

If you haven't heard from us in two
weeks, come back.

Two weeks, I come. You're not here, I
wait. Happy hunting trip.

Listen, you wait here. I'm just going to
buy a canoe from the Navy.

Selma, you okay in there?

Yes, Captain. Quite comfortable.

Thought it might be easier for us to
communicate this way.

I must commend you on your ingenuity.

Well, thank you, Selma.

Can you translate what Kate is saying?

Sorry, Captain. I'm not programmed for
this dialect.

Captain, there are over 700 separate and
distinct dialects spoken in New Guinea.

Many of them have never been written or
recorded in any way. Dr. Kincaid has

demonstrated fluency in two of them.

Quite a remarkable woman, isn't she?

Yes, Captain. I agree with your
assessment.

You are now the proud owner of one
dugout canoe.

The natives in this area have primitive
technology, but highly developed

physical skills.

I've seen Feiyu boys as young as four
years of age maneuver a dugout through

rapids in a rainstorm without getting
their feet wet.

Not now, Selma.

Watch out for crocodiles.

Wouldn't it be easier just to walk?

New Guinea is 70 % swamp.

The mosquitoes are lethal and...

A foot rod sets in after just a few
days.

I said not now, Selma.

So what's the battle plan?

Travel up the river about 15 miles and
then continue inland to the foot of the

Hindenburg Range. That's where I last
spotted the Scarlet Koala.

Calling Darien Lambert. This is Weather
Central calling Darien Lambert.

This is Darien Lambert. Go ahead,
Weather Central.

A severe storm front is rapidly
approaching from the south. Please

thunder and lightning in 20 seconds.

Did they know that?

They can do amazing things with
technology these days. Paddle.

was lost.

How about your radio?

It's waterproof.

You cold?

I'm just frightened.

Nothing like a scrape with death to
remind you that you're not invulnerable.

So we've got no blankets, no tent, no
tools, no map, and enough food for about

three or four days.

What do you think we should do?

Press on.

Right answer.

Well... Your father would be proud of
you.

I wish I had half my father's courage.

He hung on to his dream to the very end.

But I gave up.

I was running away. I was hiding from my
responsibility.

Until you came along.

You made me realize that I... I just
couldn't let any more people die the way

father died.

Your father died of P -vessel
paramalaria?

Well, he'd spent almost 20 years in New
Guinea. I guess it was just a matter of

time before he became infected.

What about his serum?

All our samples had been sent to a
government lab where they sat on the

collecting dust because nobody cared.

My father died in my arms.

And I couldn't do anything to save him.

Two miles north, the river curves
sharply east.

We can save a day by cutting through the
jungle.

You're the boss.

I'll follow my trail. I'll try to keep
us out of trouble.

What is it, Selma?

Captain, I have detected an unusual life
form.

Based on size, shape, and pattern of
movement, I believe it to be a scarlet

koala.

Where? 0 .6 kilometers due east, just
over that ridge.

Kate, wait a minute!

Look, um, this is going to sound crazy,
but I think we have a better chance of

finding what we're after if we head
towards the east.

I thought I was the authority here.

No, you are.

Call it a hunch.

Darian, there's no path through those
hills.

Wait a minute.

What was that?

It's a special tracking device developed
by the government.

It sounded like it was coming from your
radio.

Yeah, well, it's a radio and it's a
tracking device.

One gadget, many uses.

You're right. That does sound crazy.

Kate, I know you're the expert here, but
the government guarantees the

effectiveness of this device.

Now, she says there is a scarlet koala
over that hill.

I think we should give it a try.

She?

It.

Oh, God.

I think you better go first.

Have I ever told you that you have
remarkable eyes?

Don't distract me. I'm just trying to
concentrate on surviving this

Remind me.

I'll tell you again later.

Don't move.

Don't breathe.

Give me your hand.

I can't.

Come on, Kate. Where's that pioneer
spirit?

I'm beginning to think the day wouldn't
be complete without a near -death

experience.

We found the koala. Let's move on to
stage two.

Stage two?

I believe the object of the expedition
is to catch the koala.

Boy, that's not going to be easy with
all our equipment at the bottom of the

river. That's right. I've got it under
control.

You're going to catch him with your car
alarm?

Actually, it's a miniaturized
tranquilizer gun. It's just disguised as

alarm.

This may be the only chance we get.
Should I send him back right now?

Captain, a clinical trial would be
advisable.

All right, I'll use the blue.

Test him while he's out.

I'm going to send him back as soon as we
can.

What do we do now?

You want to live?

Yes.

Then smile and do exactly what they
want.

You don't suppose they're thinking about
having us for lunch, do you?

The aphidomen don't eat their victims.

They stuff them.

Oh, thanks. That's very reassuring.

He said we were hunting the sacred
koala.

Jinka Kai.

I can't believe Jankakai is gone.

Who is Jankakai?

The shaman my father told me about. The
one who gave him the secret cure.

Poachers have killed him.

The chief's grandson is in a coma.

Without Genkikai's medicine, he will
die.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

Don't jump to conclusions. It could be
anything.

We can save the boy.

We are your friends.

Translate for me, Kate.

Darian, I'm not so sure. Just tell them.

High fever, comatose state. He's got all
the symptoms, but without a microscope,

I can't be sure.

I've got something better than a
microscope.

Darian, that's a credit card.

It just looks like a credit card,
actually. It's a high -tech medical

Oh, come on.

Kate, trust me on this.

Trust you?

First it was a radio disguised as a
telephone.

Then there was the tranquilizer gun
disguised as a car alarm. Now this?

They all worked, didn't they?

That's the problem. There's something
going on here you're not telling me

Kate, I will explain it all to you
later.

Selma, can you confirm Dr.

Kincaid's diagnosis?

Selma? Scanning.

Oh, my God.

Diagnosis confirmed.

I detect the presence of P. valciparum
bacteria in the boy's bloodstream.

Thank you, Selma.

What do you need to prepare the serum?

Well, with all that... What do you need?

Saline, dextrose, benzalconium chloride.
It's all right here in the medical kit.

I think it's about time to test your
father's syrup.

Wait a minute, Darian.

Maybe we should talk about this. Kate,
it's now or never.

We need to save the boy.

I want you to tell the chief that we
need the sacred koala to make the magic

happen.

He'll bring the koala.

Good.

He also said, if we fail, we die.

Darian, what if it's a fluke?

What if the medical community was right?

Maybe the serum never worked at all.

Listen to me.

I believe in your father's serum, and I
believe in you.

And when the morning comes, that boy is
going to open his eyes.

And what if he doesn't?

Then we can say we did the best we
could.

Time tracks will continue.

Selma, what's going on?

Captain, there has been a change in the
boy's condition.

Kate, wake up. Something's happened.

Vital signs, Selma.

Reparation, 16.

Pulse, 82 beats per minute. Blood
pressure, 90 over 60.

Temperature? 99 .5 and falling.

Oh, thank God.

Okay, come on. Come on, time to wake up.

You did it.

Tastes like caramel corn or something.
What is it?

Roasted grubs. The natives dig them out
of rotten tree stumps.

The chief is thanking us for saving the
boy.

He wants to give us a gift.

We may choose anything.

Tell him we want the koala.

I am my Gabu, taudia idia, gorera bona,
idia mafe.

Lava buna, mani o hendamai.

What did he say he said he hopes the
sacred koala will bring magic to our

as we did to him

You

missed a golden opportunity back there I
did

The chief would have given you any one
of his wives all you had to do with that

How would you have felt if I had

Jealous? Good.

Is that our plane?

Yeah, I radioed before we left the
plane.

So what happens now?

There's a research team ready to jump on
this project the minute they get the

koala. You know, you never did tell me
where the epidemic is.

Or when.

What did you say?

When?

I think it's time I gave you that
explanation I promised you. Sit down.

Are you familiar with the concept of a
parallel universe?

Yes. Good. Then you'll be able to
understand what I'm about to tell you.

There is an epidemic.

Happening right now, all over the world.

Literally, millions of people are
infected and dying.

Well, that can't be. I would know about
it.

No, you wouldn't.

It's taking place in the 22nd century.

The 22nd century?

I'm a time traveler, Kate.

You're telling the truth, aren't you?

Yes.

Well, now it all makes sense.

Radios that predict rainstorms are one
thing, but talking medical scanners

disguised as credit cards?

Not in this lifetime.

There's so much I want to tell you about
the future and why I'm here.

But right now, the world needs this
koala, and there isn't any time to

have to send it back to the future right
now.

And how will you do that?

I use my car alarm.

It's true.

I inject the koala with a small chemical
pellet, and my computer does the rest.

So what can I do to help?

Just put the koala in the cage.

Freak! Now just drop that thing, put
your hands in the air. Who are you?

Come for the koala.

That animal is government property.
Mate, everything I've ever poached is

government property.

Go, Jake!

Now don't push me, pal.

We've been tracking that pelt for two
years now.

Wouldn't be anything I wouldn't do to
get it.

Let's move it, Jake!

How's the koala?

He'll be all right if we can keep him
warm.

Okay. Will you let me know when you
think he's ready?

We'd better send him back.

Darian, I was wondering, what good is
one koala against a worldwide epidemic?

Computers in the 22nd century can
synthesize any biochemical material.

24 hours after that koala arrives,
they'll begin mass distribution of the

But how would they know the formula?

I'll send detailed instructions.

That's not good enough.

What are you talking about?

I am the only living person who's ever
administered that serum.

Yeah?

You're going to have to send me, too.

No, really.

It's the only way.

won't do it darian there is so much
riding on this so many lives at stake we

can't afford to leave this to chance
kate i just found you and this is the

we can be together you don't understand
i'm not going why not

my work here isn't done darian

As usual.

They're right.

They need you.

Somebody has to show them how to do it.

So what happens now?

Well, I... I shoot you with this.

And it won't hurt a bit.

I'll be seeing you.

Yeah.
