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

.D.

2193. Visual, my son.

Project and review the file.

Alwyn Allister, born 2152, doctorate, Harvard, professor of chemistry, M .I

Where he knew Mosambi.

That is correct.

Alvin was known as the father of PV -12, a mind -altering substance which caused

a drug epidemic in the 22nd century and made him rich.

Indicted on multiple charges, including wrongful death, he vanished while

awaiting trial in 2191 and is confirmed to be in this century.

Looks kind of gentle for a killer.

Resembles Mark Twain, don't you think?

Twain, Mark, the Clemens Samuel.

Would you like visual comparison?

No, thank you.

Just give us the last reported location of Alwyn.

May 9th, 1993, El Paso, Texas.

El Paso.

Gateway to Mexico.

Room lights, Selma.

Lambert, if you want Alwyn, come to the inn at Cancun.

A friend.

Obviously, Ed is placed by somebody from our time.

The question is who.

May I suggest Dr. Sambi himself?

This could be a trap.

Trap or not, it's irresistible.

Vamanos, Selma.

We're going to Mexico.

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 on his own.

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

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

Selma, I can handle this.

Offer him less.

Less? How can I offer him less?

Cab drivers in this part of the world like to negotiate. You commence the

negotiation at your clothing price.

Try again.

Con su abogado?

No. Con mi tarjeta y crédito.

Crédito?

Loco.

Yeah.

So, the next time I... Yeah, Soma, I see him.

Amplify. Key, young fella.

Sir, doctor.

I ask you many times, today is the last time.

The key, please.

One half hour. Honor says, los pesos o la policia.

Fine.

We'll work something out.

Someone out.

Don't move.

Don't move.

No, sir.

What is this?

Alistair Alwyn.

Oh, my God.

It's you.

My name's Darian Lambert. I know.

I mean, you really exist.

Sir, I don't think you understand.

I'm here to arrest you on felony warrants from the 22nd century.

And for unlawful flight to avoid... Selma, not now. I'm making a rant.

Who is Selma?

I must interrupt, Captain.

Why? Because this man is not Alistair Alwyn.

He's not?

You're not?

Never said I was.

May I?

Easy.

Name's Rayfield.

Romulo Rayfield.

I'm a private investigator.

And boy, am I glad you read your paper.

You placed the ad?

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, I'm from the future, too.

Where's Alan?

Uh, can we, uh, talk about this in my room while I still got one?

Scan the room.

The room is clear.

Check your database for a PI named Romulo Rayfield.

Talk to me. Why are you here?

I was hired to find Albert. He owes my client money in the future.

Who's your client?

Come on, Lambert. You can't force a PI to reveal his client.

You want to make a bet?

You're threatening me with a car alarm?

What are you... Gonna beat me to death?

This is a miniature PPT.

Sure it is.

Suddenly, I see it your way.

Client's name?

Dr. Mordecai Zombie.

Oh, Zombie sent you back here to collect the debt? It's a big debt, but then

Zombie disappeared on me just when I found Alvin.

Where? 30 miles from here. Got the videotape to prove it.

Back up.

You find him, and you come back here and impersonate him?

Hey, Zombie left me high and dry. Tap city, like they say here.

I know Alvin left the room here.

I'm good at disguise.

And I need an open tab.

How else am I going to connect with you?

Why me?

Come on, Lambdad.

I know somewhere out there.

Tuned into the Washington Post is a bounty hunter from the future. All I got

do is find him and my financial problems are over.

Look, I lead you to Alwyn.

We split the money.

I see.

Well, I hate to disappoint you, pal, but I'm just a retrieval cop doing his

duty. There is no bounty.

There's no bounty?

Is there a finder's fee?

Progress report ID check.

Go ahead. The name Rayfield Romulo appears once in the master data file of

licensed private investigators.

I am unable to confirm identity due to Mandate 9 restriction.

Mandate 9? It's a PI's right to request that all ID, including photos, finger

and voice prints, and DNA coding be sealed.

Let me tell you one. Mandate 5. The one that requires you to tell me everything

you know about a suspect's present whereabouts.

No fee.

No more stalling.

Either tell me or I zap you back for obstructing justice.

Okay, okay, okay.

One small concession.

What?

Let me work with you.

Look, I got time invested in finding this guy. Let me be there for the

You show me the videotape and we'll see.

It's right here.

Easy.

In my bed.

This is my carry -everything bed.

My whole life's in here now.

Take it out slowly.

Very slowly.

Voila.

It's as close as you got.

There were guards patrolling.

What's the shack?

That's where I think he's going to make the PV -12.

Going to?

Yeah. I don't think he's licked the process yet. I saw tons of Calibra

and nothing coming out.

Calibra.

Calibra or snake vine. It proliferates in the Yucatan and is considered

agriculturally worthless, but its organic compounds may have potential for

conversion into PV -12.

She's terrific.

I would need to scan a Colibra sample to analyze further.

There's a bunch of fields on the way to his compound.

What are we waiting for?

Senor Alvin, open the door.

Open in the name of the law.

Okay, yeah. Wait a minute.

I warn you, senor.

Where is Senor Alvin?

Come right in, please.

Green? I've never seen green.

Green is siesta.

Let's go.

What, you're going to steal a police car?

Ex -police car. Get in.

But how are you going to start?

Don't tell me.

Tell me.

Now you're catching on.

There's a big Calibra field just beyond the plantation.

Your Selma can get a sample.

So tell me, what is she? One of those memory archive jobs?

You have to take a note before I tell you. Oh, come on, Lambert. We're

practically partners.

Not really.

Is this the spot?

Well, it's close.

Why are you stuck?

Example of why we're not partners.

A trained policeman checks out the terrain.

To avoid surprises.

Uh -huh. Wait here.

I do mean...

Now, what is it we're looking for?

PV -12, pentothipenic viburnium, is made from synthetic materials in the 22nd

century. It is possible those materials may exist naturally in the Culebra vine.

Hold on.

Visual project mode.

Look, son.

It's him.

He's moving over towards those bags.

He's just inside pellet range.

In visual project mode.

Damn.

I can almost see the whites of his eyes. I've got to get closer.

We've got the right man this time.

Affirmative Captain.

How are you feeling?

You took a rock fragment in the head.

I made a poultice out of aloe for the wound. It will accelerate healing.

Shouldn't be a scar.

Where's that one?

I assume that he's gone back to his compound.

Worry's probably doubled the security by now.

The hell did you think you were going to accomplish by plinking away with that

handgun? I'm truly sorry.

What kind of detective are you, anyway?

That's something we really ought to talk about.

I'll say.

You see, I'm not a detective.

No kidding.

My name isn't Rayfield, either.

Where'd you get those glasses?

I... Need these to see distance.

To shoot, obviously.

It's not your voice.

Who are you?

My name is Winston DeLong. I'm a doctor, a medical doctor. That's how I knew

what to do with your wound.

With any consolation, I probably saved your life.

You put my life in danger.

Yes, yes, you're right. I'm sorry.

I'm not a very good shot.

And I should have killed the bastard.

Doctors don't shoot people.

Why?

He killed Virginia, my wife.

I don't recall any indictment. No, no, no, it's not murder.

It's unlawful death. That's what they called it for the hundreds, thousands of

people that he killed.

Virginia.

It was just another one.

Oh, how he could talk.

PV -12 was the gateway to happiness.

He made believers of so many people.

God help him, maybe he believed himself.

And maybe he still does.

So you came back here to pay a debt, not to collect one.

When I discovered that Alwyn had used Zombies Project to escape me here, I...

had money.

No life anymore.

You can guess the rest.

And then I failed.

I failed Virginia. I failed you.

It's quite a story.

I wouldn't blame you for a second if you didn't believe a word of it. I would

think that I lost any chance of trust with you a long time ago.

It doesn't matter if I believe in you.

Alwin is a fugitive. That's why I have to go after him, not you.

Now, wait, wait, wait, wait.

I haven't ruled out concussion yet.

20th century x -rays are primitive by our standards, but we should run into

clinic in town. I recommend it.

Get this straight.

We are not going anywhere together.

I'm going to get in that Jeep, and I'm going to go that way.

And you, you can walk anywhere else you want, as long as it's in the opposite

direction from me. I understand.

Your map?

It's on the seat.

Look, I'm sorry you have to walk.

Well, what's keeping you?

May I have my bag?

Good hunting.

It's getting harder for me to see.

Are you tracking?

Affirmative, Captain.

There are still two sets of tire marks. The pickup and the larger vehicle.

What's that mean?

It means we have come to the fork in the road.

Notice the tracks separate. The pickup goes to the right. The heavy vehicle

continues ahead.

The pickup tracks will lead us to the processing area.

According to our friend's map, I can walk in from there.

Captain, perhaps you should get a night's sleep first.

Nonsense.

We'll hide the jeep and we'll go in after dark.

Check out that guard, Selma.

He is sleeping.

Anybody else I don't see?

Scan indicates six others in the far building. They are emitting sinusicular

sounds.

That's snoring, Selma.

Come on.

New lock on an old door. Very promising.

Combination.

Left, 38.

Right, 29.

Left, 11.

I'm still impressed when you do that.

Numeric combinations are merely an exercise in probability.

You take compliments well, too.

I can hardly see anything.

It's fuzzy.

I should have brought a flashlight.

May I suggest visual mode? My light reluctance should solve the problem.

Visual mode.

Some of you give good glow.

Check out the Calibra.

This doesn't look like a going business to me.

Captain, my theory is confirmed.

This coulibra leaf contains a resin which forms a chemical matrix for

acid, a powerful psychedelic and the essential ingredient of PV -12.

So what's Alwyn waiting for? Why isn't this lab up and running?

Dr. Alwyn may have erred in assuming that 20th century technology would be

adequate to his task.

He can't make PV -12?

Correct. The photosynthesis of resins will remain primitive until the

formula of 2007.

Which you understand.

Yes, but I'm a mainframe computer of the 22nd century, Captain, a device which

Alwyn obviously does not possess.

Let's keep it that way.

So, is it hot in here to you?

Room temperature, 19 degrees Celsius, humidity 81%. Maybe that's why I'm

sweating.

Captain, may I suggest I do a scan of your brain activity?

No, no, Emma, let's get out of here while we're ahead. Voice mode.

Emma, maybe you'd better give me that brain scan.

Captain, there are signs of a concussion. You must rest as soon as

Yeah, yeah, that's good.

That's very good.

Captain, wake up, please.

Captain.

Selma. Right here, Captain.

Where are you?

On the floor where you dropped me.

I'm sorry.

The time is?

6 .46 a .m.

Oh, my God.

Did anybody come in last night?

No, Captain, but there is one thing.

Hold on a minute, sir. Hold on.

I think I've got another one of those great ideas.

Buenos dias. Tengo usted.

Y usted también.

Es usted el oficial de guardia.

Oficial de guardia.

Hombre, que español tan fino.

Que tal es su inglés?

Probably better.

Much better.

So what the hell are you doing here?

Well, I love to get up early in the morning, and I'm here to see Dr.

Alwyn. Now, is she going to be here a little later?

No.

Who are you?

Name's Landon. Alf Landon. I'm a chemical engineer.

And I think I may have the solution to his manufacturing problems.

You think he might be interested?

Maybe.

Let's see if you're clean.

Come on. If I was going to do anything, I'd take your gun while you slept.

Okay.

Doctor's up in his house.

Get in the truck and I'll take you. Okay.

Hey, but listen, amigo.

Forget that you found me sleeping.

Or I'm in the ringer, you know.

Deal. Just take me to the wizard.

Does Dr. Alwyn have a lot of guys like you around?

Nah. Just a few good men, you know.

Hey, you really think you can help me make the stuff, eh?

Definitely. Well, that's good.

Because between I and you, I think he's running out of, you know, pesos.

That's why I want to help you.

I think

he wants you.

What did you do?

You go ahead. Tell your boss I'll be there. I'll handle this guy.

You got some cojones.

Captain Fernando, the Cancun police. You are wanted for grand theft auto of a

police jeep.

Two.

Police. Wait a second.

Wait a second.

Two. You.

Greco.

Driver's seat.

Pull it off the road, under those trees.

Look, Captain, let's try and keep a perspective on this.

Do what I am telling you, all right?

Slowly pull it off.

Hands on the windshield.

You're going to shoot me in cold blood over a jeep?

I am not here to shoot you. I am here to save you.

Why don't you have Thelma turn the motor off?

Thelma, turn off the damn engine.

Why me?

Why are you doing this to me?

Do you realize how seriously you've interfered with my work?

Captain Lambert, my dear colleague, you were walking into a death trap. I saved

you. Saved me. I had a setup. I had Alwin right in the palm of my hand. I'd

there right now sending him back.

I do not think so. Not without your P .P .T.

You left this in the jeep.

Captain, that's what I was trying to tell you. Give me the weapon.

Not so fast.

See, if I am such a bad person, maybe I will just send you back.

You don't even know how to use it.

If it is not the blue or the green, then it must be rotten.

Easy, easy.

Then I would place an ad in the Washington Post like Sambi told me.

So you were Sambi after all.

Captain Lambert, if I were with the bad guys, I would have killed you long ago.

I am your friend.

I will prove it.

Here.

A grand gesture.

You're not a cop.

Or a doctor.

Or a private eye.

Except the minstrel. You don't even talk that way!

You found me out! Oh, no, no, no!

Oh, shut up. I'm just beginning.

I want a name, and this time I want a real name.

My name is Kyle Fernando.

Ah.

Now, you're sure it's not Professor Kyle Fernando or Father Kyle?

President Fernando?

Come on, you can come up with a better lie than that. I do not lie.

I create.

The truth is, I'm an actor.

An actor.

You're just an actor.

You don't even have the common decency to be a blackmailer, an extortionist.

You're just a lousy actor.

A good actor.

Fooled you.

Did not?

Not entirely.

Virginia, the wife that died?

Now, tell me that never happened.

Well, that... that did happen.

Eight performances a week. Not a dry eye in the house.

Identity confirmed, Captain.

Fernando Kyle is an out -of -work actor from our century. Out -of -work?

You mean at liberty, between engagements.

So how did you manage to ever talk zombie into sending you back here?

Did you ever see an old play called Petrified Forest about an escaped

No. Neither did zombie.

And he was so touched by my story, he sent me for free.

So what made you turn to him in the first place?

I couldn't get work.

When times are tough, an actor goes on the road.

The road.

Brought all my props with me.

So is it any better here?

No better.

Here they have agents.

You know what mine said to me?

Sweetheart, I can't even get you arrested.

That phrase changed my life.

That's when you started impersonating police officers.

Yeah, and I got damn good at it.

Do you have any idea of the life of an actor?

You see, if you're not a star, you're a fool, clinging to foolish dreams.

Out of work. Is a surgeon out of work between operations? A physicist between

experiments?

I mean, even a writer who never writes a thing has an honorable title. But an

actor... An actor's a beggar.

A couple of them.

And I'm more than that.

I have the ability to be anybody.

Now, that makes me somebody.

Yes.

So far, you're unforgettable.

So let me work with you.

But please, Captain, we'll play it any way you like.

Look, Alwin is come.

I want to be a part, just a small part, of bringing him to justice.

Kyle, I think I finally understand.

You are somebody, certainly to me, but...

Thing is, there is a problem, and that is, I am a loner. And I have a hard time

depending on other people, especially untrained people.

Well, I can relate to that.

You see, I can play against that. No.

You don't understand.

I can't take that chance this time.

Years from now, when you speak of this, and you will speak of this,

be kind.

It's tea and sympathy. Right.

Selma, how far to Alwyn's house?

1 .2 kilometers, Captain.

We'll saddle up.

I believe an actor made those words famous.

Well, then, forget it.

Good morning.

Is Hector around?

Okay, well, they say my Spanish is a little high tone, but here it goes.

¿Cómo está?

¿Dónde está el hombre, Hector?

Wait a minute, guys. Now, I know I'm just a little funny, but I'm not just a

blanco. I'm here to see...

Hey,

big guy, you okay?

Nice welcome.

I'm sorry I didn't expect you so quick.

Hey, man, you probably stopped that cop and took his jeep.

Well, there was only one of him.

You must forgive my men.

No paychecks.

Very stressful.

The boys look for someone to take it out on.

Take it out on the boss.

Oh, no, amigo.

Nobody wants to mess with el gringo grande.

He's a spooky, you know.

So where is he?

He comes when he chooses.

Hey, he's watching you now.

Act natural.

a chemical engineer.

Don't turn your head.

Yes, I am.

Well, let's see about that.

Hector, bring me your gun.

Continue to face forward, please, Mr. L.

Thank you, Hector.

You may leave us now.

Look, I don't want to do that.

Why, don't you think I can shoot straight anymore?

No question. Shoot straight.

But listen first. Yes?

Hector, go.

Have your men stand by.

You can turn around now, Mr. L.

Someone don't tell me that's Kyle Fernando.

No, Captain.

Unfortunately. What are you whispering about?

I was just saying how well you look.

Liar. I look like Shayskate.

I'm sorry, Shayskate. I'm not familiar with that word.

Liar again.

Listen, Dr. Allen, I have come a long way to find you. Now that

is true.

It's your first truth, Mr. L. Mr.

Landon. Mr. Alf Landon.

Did you think I didn't know who Alf Landon was?

I mean, I'm a Harvard man. We specialize in historical trivia.

Let's get back to the truth.

You came to send me back, didn't you, Mr. L., Mr. Lambert? Mr. Darien

damn Lambert.

That's right, Doctor.

That's why I'm here.

Poor Hector.

He actually believed your story.

Hector doesn't know I left the formula behind in time.

Or is it ahead?

Dr. Owen. Captain Lambert.

Do you think I'm a bad man?

I'm not your judge.

But you know my story.

Was I such a devil?

Dr. Owen, everyone is looking for the gateway to happiness.

You thought you found it.

You were wrong.

The truth is you're living proof of just how wrong you were.

Scientists are allowed mistakes.

Not when they kill people.

It's my fault that they abused themselves.

Yes, it was your fault.

You put the poison in their hands.

Thank you for coming, Captain.

I have been afraid of you for so long, it's a relief to face you at last.

Before we part, you must do me one last favor.

What?

Kill me.

Kill me.

Elder Alwyn.

With power vested in me.

And I'll send you home.

But you said... What

have you done?

Great mission, Throne Selma.

Come on, you stupid gringo.

Get your ass in the stagecoach, pilgrim.

So how do you like my John Wayne?

It's the only one I had in my prop bag.

Well, did you get him? Oh, yeah.

I got him.

You're good, partner.

You're real good.

And you're welcome.

For what?

For saving your ungrateful behind.

Thank you.

Don't mention it, Topram.

Tell me something.

Do you think you'll always have trouble with six -shift vehicles? I'm getting

better. Look, I'm going to go in and sleep for 24 hours.

Captain. It

has been

an honor serving with you.

Listen, tell me something.

Back there when you became the doctor, you really had me fooled. Now, was that

just acting?

Now, you're very perceptive.

I did lose someone to PV -12, and suddenly I wanted very much

to kill Alistair Aldwyn.

Your solution was a lot better.

Listen, how about I treat you to a night's rest?

In appreciation.

Oh, I accept, I accept.

And maybe we'll have time to talk about a partnership.

No. Limited partnership.

No, no, no, no, no.
