Ready? Good.

Paddle up.

Okay.

Day two begins.

Equipment check.

Knife.

First aid kit.

Compass.

Good.

Operational plan.

Estimated time of return?

1900. So don't be late.

Now, if you see animal tracks you're not sure of,

yes, stay upwind and...

That's right.

Don't shout.

When

I teach you to paint?

After I teach you to survive.

You're welcome, Ravi.

But you must not call me father yet.

Come on.

Archive mode ready.

George casteth personal notes.

This must surely be the happiest day of my life.

Ah, my lives.

Born 2153, he found joy in 1993.

The joy of giving back to a child what was once given to him.

God knows I'm unworthy of this joy.

I, who have sinned across the barriers of time.

But I beg that same God.

I beg to finish this task.

Let me be strong enough.

Oh, God, no.

Not now.

It began in the future.

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 on his own.

Knowing he cannot go home.

Until he has found them all.

His name is Darian Lambert.

And this is his story.

The case of George Carters was to prove highly personal to my captain. Let's go.

Yet it was only by chance that we became involved.

Pleasant Valley, Medevac 1. We have a Code 1 male, age 45.

Extreme VTAC stabilized now. The pulse is only 3 -0.

We're bringing him straight to the OR.

The chain of events which brought my captain into this case began as we were

waiting for our transport to Washington.

President's Club.

Summer, are you sure I can go in here? I'm not the president of anything.

Captain, it appears to be a custom in a 20th century airport.

There are also clubs for ambassadors and admirals, but you don't have to have

achieved that status either.

Yes, sir. Can I help you?

Can you check us in, please? Sure.

May I have your tickets?

Tickets? Of course. I got it right here.

There you go. Thank you.

There's only one ticket here, sir. Right.

But didn't you say check us in?

I'll see you.

Force of habit. Oh, my God.

Right. Your flight departs in one hour, Mr. Lampert. Please enjoy the lounge,

and I'll call you for boarding. Thank you.

The lounge.

In a tragic turn of events, a deaf boy appears to be lost in the heart of the

Colorado Rockies.

Search and rescue efforts are being mounted by local and state authorities.

of this place is on them. They give food away.

Perhaps they have mistaken you for the president.

Well, don't beep and ruin my image.

My wife and I appeal to you.

This is a small town doing everything they can.

Not enough manpower.

They need volunteers.

My God, that's George Costas.

Someone you know, Captain?

Someone he taught me at West Point.

Map -making and survival?

What's he doing in the 20th century?

Help us find our little boy.

Though 12 -year -old Robbie is described as intelligent and survival -trained,

there is concern his inability to hear or speak will make rescue efforts

difficult, if not impossible.

Volunteers are asked to report to the sheriff's office here or to the

This is Barry Wilson reporting from Pleasant Valley.

So how far to Pleasant Valley?

Eight hours by car.

What if I fly a helicopter?

Two hours.

If you do see animal danger, show no fear.

Back away.

Hide.

Hide.

Rescue Ops, this is Rescue One.

We got nothing in the clearing.

Kind of fixing on a homing beam, but it's gone now. Taking a look.

Nah, nobody here.

Running low on fuel. We're coming home now.

Can I talk to your patient?

Sure. Maybe you can get more sense out of him than I can.

Doc, a man tries to speak survival to a deaf city kid and got no sense.

He's just another one of those oddballs from L .A.

Odd, I'll say.

Man lives an hour with a runaway heart, then recovers with a subnormal pulse of

30. He's in there now, says he's okay, wants to go look for his kid.

Well, is he sick or what?

Sick. He should be dead.

I'll understand more when I get the lab work.

Meanwhile, he stays put.

Don't let him talk you into joining the search.

Mrs.

Costas?

George, the boss is here.

Sure.

You found him.

No, not yet.

What time is it?

It's after seven, Mr. Costas.

Then he's there, waiting for me.

No, sir.

Chopper reports no one in sight.

They must keep looking.

They'll be back on station soon as they refuel.

What about search parties?

Halfway there.

Took you two days to pack it in, remember?

You just take it easy.

My people are doing everything they can.

But is it enough?

Sir, you'll have our best.

Taking a handicapped kid into that situation doesn't make the job easy, if

say so.

Oh, God.

Now, let's try to work together.

Was anyone out there with you?

And who sent the Mayday call?

It was a transponder.

Emergency signal device.

Does Robbie have one?

If he found mine.

Big if.

I'll be in touch.

Do you blame me too, Carolina?

No.

Everything he is, everything we have will do you.

Damn. Blancos.

I'll take care.

Don't, George.

Just pray with me.

Help will come.

You've been awfully quiet, Selma.

Still nervous about my flying? I am incapable of being nervous.

Of course.

On the other hand, I am capable of being destroyed by fire.

Fire? That which results when a helicopter crashes.

Is that what's on your mind?

No, Captain.

My focus is on other matters.

Visual mode.

All right, what's bugging

you?

I'm simply waiting for you to pursue the question you asked two hours ago.

Which question?

What George Carstis is doing in the 20th century.

Perhaps you had forgotten.

No, I haven't forgotten.

Perhaps. I'm afraid to ask.

Okay. Why is he here?

Your friend is a fugitive.

Selma, there must be some kind of mistake. The man doesn't have an evil

his body.

Captain, your cartography teacher was also a skilled painter.

Skilled. He was brilliant.

He loved the painters of the American frontier.

Catlin, Homer.

His beer stats were like originals. Indeed, he sold them as such.

He what?

George Casas was indicted for art forgery in 2189.

Before he could be brought to trial, he vanished.

Logic suggests he secured time passage from Dr. Zombie.

What logic?

A man like George wouldn't even know a bastard like Zombie.

I'm sorry, Captain, but my records indicate otherwise. There was, in fact,

fiduciary relationship between them. They did business together.

Sombie was his art patron. He helped distribute the forged paintings. It is

therefore logical to assume... Okay, Sombie.

Spare me more logic.

Damn it!

How could he turn like that?

It is you who claim to understand the criminal mind.

That's not the mind that I knew.

He nurtured me, Selma.

He's one of the few men in the world that I admired.

What am I supposed to do?

What you came to do.

Find Lost Boy.

Well, if that's as far as you got, you might as well pack it in for the night.

No, you'd have to crush Sherman Creek and you can't make it at night.

Look, will you just do what I'm telling you? We already have one man down with a

broken arm.

Is someone going to get me the damn weather forecast?

It's coming through now, Sheriff.

Stand by wind.

Excuse me, Sheriff.

What do you want?

Name's Lambert, Washington PD.

You just dropped in, did you?

I was ferrying my helo back home when I heard your NPR.

My what?

I'm sorry, local.

Cops speak.

A missing boy.

Oh, I get it, Captain. Away from home, you thought you'd log a few extra days

per diem?

Uh, no, you don't get it at all, Sheriff.

I have a chopper, and unless I've lost my memory, you asked for help.

So I did.

Local 24 -hour forecast, Sheriff.

Damn, Hicks don't know what they're doing.

Get the National Weather Service online for me.

Okay, Lambert, report back here at first light. We'll give you a second to

patrol. Thank you.

You know where I can find George Costas?

What do you want with him? I once knew a man by that name.

Was he a jackass?

I didn't think so at the time.

Hospital's three miles down the road.

It's not an easy diagnosis, I'm afraid.

Amplify some.

There is evidence of coronary amyloidosis, yet none of the other

affected.

That makes no sense.

May I ask why?

Because in that disease, the heart is the last organ to show symptoms, not the

first.

But then everything about your husband seems to defy the rules.

He's an extraordinary man.

I can't promise anything until I know more.

To lose myself.

Then my husband.

It is too much.

I'm sorry, Mr. Castus.

I wish I had more answers.

More voodoo medicine.

This century needs another opinion.

At your service, Captain.

How he's aged.

Hardly seems the same man.

Captain, the 20th century phrase for what you said is wishful thinking.

Permit me to make a positive identification.

Scanning.

Scan complete.

Identity, George Casters confirmed.

His condition is serious, Captain.

He has developed amyloidal symptoms.

Actually, it is an allergic reaction to something in this time period.

Allergies can be controlled?

In the 22nd century.

And here?

They do not have the knowledge.

Easy, George.

Easy.

Duty.

Honor.

Country.

Professor.

Darian.

Am I dead?

No. You're too tough to die.

In any century.

Is it really you?

Yes.

Tyrion, what are you doing here?

I came to help you find your son.

Thank God.

Carolina said help would come.

But you, the best tracker I ever taught.

How did you get here?

The same as you.

In Zombie's magical time machine.

Do you reason for coming?

Find fugitives.

And send them back to justice.

See, you must find it hard to believe that I am one of them.

Yes, I find it very hard.

I'm sorry, Terry.

It's okay, George.

It's okay.

One problem at a time.

You taught me how to track.

Tell me how to find the boy.

Starting to blow in from the lee side.

Hard lines are down.

FAA weather, Grand Junction. Best I could do.

Could pass through by morning.

Could.

If it don't, we got no air, sir.

First light.

I'd better get started.

If there's any chance he has my computer, it's an EMA6.

Can your Selma access that model?

Selma?

Selma, it's okay. George knows you're there.

I can access any encapsulated memory archive, provided it is not in battery

charge mode.

He couldn't do that. He couldn't hear the touch tones.

We'll give it a try.

Darian.

Godspeed. Yeah.

We'll get you a son.

Show no fear.

Back away slowly, without hurry.

This is an emergency transmission.

This is an emergency transmission.

This is an emergency.

Yeah, rescue port, pay again. You're breaking up damage.

Are we paying for satellite link or what? I mean, why is it so damn... Okay,

I hear you, Paul.

You want to try which cutoff?

Now, negative for you're asking for trouble. You stay on Timberline Ridge.

At least you'll be there by tomorrow.

FAA.

God.

For how long?

Who can you make a guess? We got a kid out there.

Okay, I understand.

Nobody flies till further notice.

This is an emergency transmission.

This is an emergency transmission.

This is an emergency transmission.

This is an emergency transmission.

This...

This is an emergency transmission.

This is an emergency transmission.

Thanks for the lift.

Selma? Oh, I was preoccupied. With what?

Your friend has a memory archive.

That's right.

He said it was an EMA -6.

I'm receiving a signal.

Selma, can you establish distance and direction?

The signal is weak, but I will scan.

Bearing 286 degrees, distance 103 .47 nautical miles.

Selma, you're outstanding.

Captain, I can only be outstanding in visual mode. Is that what you mean?

Strike that. Let's go.

What if Rescue 3 fords the river here, cuts across there?

Could be at the fall tonight.

And then what?

How are they going to find a deaf -mute kid in the dark?

Sheriff, I need an azimuth disc and a line calibrator. Hey, whoa, whoa, whoa.

You need what? I need to measure distance and bearing.

How about a compass and a ruler?

286 degrees.

Extend 103 .47 nautical miles depth.

There? That's where the boy is. There. Really?

You know, I haven't seen an act like that since pin the tail on the donkey.

Sheriff, you've got to believe me. Why, you got this information from some

pixie? Look, my helicopter has some very sophisticated tracking equipment.

Show me.

I can't.

It's classified.

Mr. U is some piece of work.

All I ask is that you relay the information to your search team. Fine.

ground party gets there tomorrow, I'll have them check it out. Tomorrow?

your air search?

Are you crazy? No one takes a chopper up and went like this.

Somebody's got to. I'm going after that boy. The hell you are.

So much as look at your helo till I say so, I'll haul your ass to jail. You got

that?

All right, Sheriff.

Inside. You're the boss.

You watch it.

Here's to me slipping toward the flight line.

Ignition, Selma. Captain, this action is dangerous and unwise.

Devin, I said ignition now!

Hold it.

Shut her down and give me your keys.

You want my keys?

Yeah. All right.

Here you go.

On course 286.

ETA. 37 minutes.

See, it isn't so bad.

Dangers of high wind flight are during climb or descent.

So far you have experienced... May I use slang, Captain?

Yes.

Dumb luck.

No, I'm sorry I yelled at you. I do not expect apologies.

Thank you. I expect good judgment.

How close are we? Less than one mile.

What happened?

The signal has stopped.

But we're almost there.

Captain, I took the precaution of storing signal coordinates into the

your autopilot. A marker light on your panel will indicate target directly

below. Thank you, Selma.

How soon?

Approximately now.

I see something.

Looks like a clearing.

It's going to be it.

So what are my chances of making a safe landing?

I think it unwise to tell you.

I'm going to land.

I'm going to burn.

the ignition. We're going in.

Captain, you'll be pleased to know you have averted fire danger.

Captain?

Selma.

I think I've broken my leg.

There.

At least I can move.

Come on, Solo.

Where is he?

Directly in front of you, 9 .1 meters.

I can't see a thing. The signal was subterranean. I submit the boy's fallen

a shaft.

A shaft?

In the middle of the wilderness?

You may not have noticed. This area is an abandoned mine.

You mean like a ventilation shaft?

Precisely. Okay, let's take a look.

My God, someone, is he alive?

Hold me over the opening.

I read a heartbeat.

The rate would indicate a state of sleep.

I have to wake him up.

Robbie!

Robbie!

That is really stupid.

I agree.

What would you do?

Don't get cute. I need your ideas.

I do not create ideas, Captain.

I... Synthesize yours, I know. Look, I didn't listen to you, and I have screwed

things up royally.

Okay?

I'm out of ideas.

Captain, I will break precedent and provide you with a plan, provided you

it without those moments of inspiration you are so fond of.

Agreed. In order to wake the boy, I must administer a mild electroshock.

That would mean you'd have to be down there.

Precisely. You want me to drop you down the shaft?

Yes.

Selma, I could lose you.

The plan does entail some risk.

Selma, how am I going to save Robbie by risking you?

There is a fair chance of success if you follow my directions.

Fine.

Direct me.

Yeah, this is Dobbs, Pleasant Valley.

Yeah, it's almost passed through here. What's it look like in our search

Okay, that's a roger.

Now, Captain.

Excellent shot, Captain.

Headphones on.

Standing by, Selma.

Electroshock now.

Command visual mode now.

What about the third person role?

Command, Captain.

Visual mode.

My name is Thelma.

How do you do?

No.

I am not an angel.

I am a friend of your father.

Do not worry.

Your father is safe.

He sent us to get you.

Who is us?

Me and my helper.

Even now he begins his work.

Reach that.

Put it in your pocket.

Captain,

medical scan reveals right medial sprain and exhaustion.

We must get him out of here quickly to prevent shock.

Working on it, Summer.

Okay.

It's connected through the battery to the radio.

Hit it.

Oh, you've...

Now can you slip it into free will?

Yes!

Okay.

I'm heading back.

Selma, clear?

Clear, Captain.

Pull it

to you.

Over your shoulder.

Around your waist.

Disappear now.

What fun.

Do not be afraid.

Final phase, Captain.

Understand.

Resume voicemail.

Okay, partner.

Let her rip.

Transmitting now.

Tell me, you know any other ways to keep a kid warm? The best way, Captain. I

detect helicopters headed in this direction.

Tell me, give me the rescue frequency.

Go ahead.

Pleasant Valley Rescue, do you read me, over? This is Rescue One, Sheriff Dodds.

Say again, you call? Sheriff, this is Lambert.

I have, uh... We have found the boy.

Lambert, where the hell are you?

I'm at that place.

I bet she told me about it. Come and get us. Roger. Keep your signal hot. I

double -rogered that.

It was not necessary to share the credit.

Yes, it was, Salma.

Hi.

What did he say, Salma?

He said, thank you.

Don't even look.

7 p .m. on the dot.

My best tracker.

And your worst camper.

City boys do not sleep on the ground.

Thanks.

God, it's beautiful back there.

They don't have water this clear back where we come.

A lot of precious things here that aren't there.

How is Robbie?

Fine. He's off to summer camp.

He tells everyone his life was saved by Mary Poppins.

And Carolina?

Fine.

The best.

What did you tell her?

Nothing. You haven't made up your mind yet?

I just didn't want to burden her.

You're not a burden, you're a joy.

George.

She knows about the illness.

How?

She was in the doctor's office with me.

Does she know how long I have?

No one knows.

Not even Selma.

A year, two, maybe five.

But of course there's a cure.

You send me back, I live to be 120, but ten of those years are in prison.

And all are without the things I've come to love.

Is just breathing that important?

Don't ask me, George.

The one thing I've learned out here is not to play God.

So what's it going to be?

I've come a long way.

So she knew all the time.

Never said a word.

Didn't want to be a burden.

You gave her back her joy. You gave her child a life.

There are lots of us you've touched and are grateful to you, George.

But you have to decide.

That dignity I owe you.

I want to stay, Darian.

A couple of years.

It's a long time to watch my boy grow up.

To share a woman's love.

And five years, who knows?

Maybe I'll get lucky.

I wish you that luck.
