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

.D.

2193.

My captain was in pursuit of Michael O 'Leary, a fiscal genius who worked for

organized crime in both the 22nd and 20th centuries.

You have a good flight, Mr. O 'Leary.

Thanks, thank you.

Michael O 'Leary.

That I am. Who are you?

The name's Darian Lambert.

Oh, yes.

Captain Lambert, isn't it?

That's right.

Well, Captain, darling, I'd love to stop and chat with you some other time.

Give me a minute, O 'Leary.

What would you be wanting a peaceful fellow like me for?

swindling, stock manipulations you could for 20 years back home.

You'd send me back?

Ready? Weird.

Can we talk about this?

There must be something I can offer you.

What are you trying to bribe me?

Name your price.

One million?

Two?

Money won't do it.

What will?

I want your boss.

Bergdorf?

If I did that, I'd be a dead man.

Not if I send him back home.

You take me to Bergdorf, or I'll just have to settle for you.

Shall we call it a deal, then?

That guy you wanted to watch out for? Yeah. He's getting very chummy with O

'Leary. Really?

Better tell Mr. Bergdorf.

Got it.

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.

It's fairly ironic, when you think about it.

Bergdorf's actually paying you to fly to England.

It so happens the only air connection to Kelsey Island is this.

Hyrule especially wants to take the VIPs to his casino.

You're sure he's going to be there?

Someone's expecting me.

You're the big surprise.

I don't believe it.

One man who can send us back.

Yes, sir.

Tell Hank to kill them both.

Why don't we wait till they get here?

He's got the gall to come here.

Yeah, on the casino special.

That's too bad.

I hate to lose a perfectly good airplane.

Mr. O 'Leary.

Always glad to have you on board, sir. Grand seeing you again, Chuck.

This is my friend, Mr. Lambert.

Welcome. I hope you enjoy your flight with us.

May I take your bag?

How much longer are we going to be kept waiting?

Excuse me.

I'm sorry, ma 'am.

The front office sent through a hole.

It won't be long.

The front office should know that's no way to treat us.

Maybe they were just being cautious.

That's no excuse. At these prices, you don't keep people waiting.

Would you run your business like that?

I wouldn't know.

I'm just a fireman.

Oh? Pretty fancy vacation for a fireman.

Oil well fires pay good.

Excuse me.

I seem to have gotten turned around.

This is the plane to the resort, isn't it?

Yes, sir. Come on in. We're just getting ready to take off.

Harry Flanders, working still.

Denny Hobbs, retired.

How'd you manage that?

I invented some stuff.

Already.

Anderson Tower, this is Kelsey Air. Request taxi clearance.

Kelsey Air, Anderson Tower.

You're clear for immediate takeoff, runway 26R. Wind is west at 10,

2996. Have a good flight.

Kelsey Air, roger.

We're rolling.

Climbing to a cruising altitude of 30...

Pretty fancy.

Say what you like about Bergdorf. He runs a class operation.

I'm surprised a man like you would help him.

What do you mean by that?

You know exactly what I mean.

It's not just luxury resorts and overcharging the rich.

Bergdorf controls most of the narcotics coming out of Asia.

I'm not involved in that part of the business.

You make it possible.

Would you be trying to awaken my conscience at this late date?

Well, if you have one, it's not too late.

Compliment of Kelpie Island Charter Service?

Champagne. Anybody care for some?

That's not happened before.

Why don't we have a little nap? I don't think so.

I want you sober.

It was in Las Vegas.

He actually offered me one million dollars.

Just like in the movie.

Did you take it?

Oh, I'll never tell.

I'm feeling a little bit lightheaded.

You've had one too many.

No. I only had a soda.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Jim.

We're experiencing some gentle headwinds, so we may be a little late.

But who cares when you're going to paradise?

Pretty sloppy way to run an airline.

Hey, do you know old MacDonald? Yeah. He was a song popular a few years ago.

Maybe more than a few years ago. But it goes... Oh, MacDonald had a farm. E -I

-E -I -O.

And on the farm he had a duck.

E -I -E -I -O. I think... I'm going to eat your head.

Was I singing that bad?

Give her some water.

Sure.

Shalma. Yes, Captain.

What's going on here?

The oxygen level is decreasing rapidly. You are witnessing the symptoms of

anoxia.

I'm all right. So is Uluri.

Captain, you forget the physical differences between humans of this

your own.

Can you find the cause?

Scanning.

I detect a pinhole leak in the pressurization system.

All right.

Hi,

guys. You change your mind about the champagne?

No. Listen, I think you may have a problem.

Oh, yeah?

You've got a leak in your pressurization system.

Sure. You've been outside looking under the hood, haven't you?

I know what I'm talking about, okay? You've got a passenger that's passed out

already.

Listen to me. Listen to me. Your judgment is being affected by a lack of

here. Look, buddy, we're okay. You, I'm worried about. You better run a check

anyway. It's a waste of time. Do it.

Jeez.

Oh my god!

Hey, look as if you know what you're doing.

No, I don't.

And I have a friend who does. Selma!

Yes, Captain.

It's a bit out of control.

I suggest you diminish airspeed.

Visual mode, show me.

Captain. Just do it. Yes, Captain.

Don't leave it. Taunt me.

Speed brake.

That control, Mr. O 'Leary.

Yes, ma 'am.

better but she still doesn't want to respond yes some of the hydraulic

lines ruptured on your dive what does that mean that means that i can't keep

in the air for very long oh my but our chances of making kelsey i'm afraid that

reaching your destination is not probable

Selma, it's no use. The rudder's not responding.

May I suggest you steer by asymmetrical application of power?

What's that?

Understand, Selma.

Good.

It's okay.

See if you can get the radio to work.

Radio.

Nothing. I'm afraid it is inoperative, Captain.

Can you send a mayday call?

Yes, Captain. I can transmit intermittently on the distress channel.

Good.

Oh.

I don't like the sound of these engines.

I recommend checking the fuel booths.

These?

Yes, Captain.

Congratulations, Captain.

You are learning with alacrity.

Well, some of that's because the prospect of crashing into the sea tends

focus the mind.

You better get them back to the

passenger's cabin.

Right.

Excuse me.

I'm a hologram, Mr. O 'Leary. You may pass through me.

Thank you.

What happened?

Can I help? Get it laid.

I'm a nurse.

He's dead.

No. I think he's got a broken arm.

That's the pilot.

Who's flying the plane?

One of the passengers.

We're all going to die.

Lady. Shut up!

What's going on?

I've got some of the hydraulic pressure back.

Then why does the ocean look so close?

Well, we're down to 5 ,000 feet.

I don't know if I can hold out with you.

Selma, find some place to make an emergency landing.

Got it.

The only land within your probable flight range is Howland Island, bearing

degrees.

Outstanding. Get on the throttle, follow my instructions.

Roger. Let's run.

I'll eat some back.

I'll eat the right throttle back.

Little, little, little.

185.

Don't say dead.

All right, Stump.

What kind of airport do they have at this Howland Island?

No airport, Captain. The island has been uninhabited since World War II.

All right, so what is it then? Some kind of deserted landing strip?

Unfortunately, it has long since been overgrown by jungle.

Stump, I don't know if you've noticed or not, but this isn't a hovercraft.

Where am I supposed to land this thing?

There are clearings in the jungle.

Clearings?

I assure you, Captain, Howland Island represents your slang phrase, best shot

survival.

Do me a favor, Selma.

Of course, Captain.

Don't tell me the odds.

We're going to have to set his arm. I've never done this before.

But you're a nerd.

Not really. I dropped out. I know how.

Listen, son.

There's really only one way to do this.

That's it right there.

Thank you.

Selma, has our May Day been acknowledged?

Not yet, Captain.

What's our ETA for Halloween?

At present speed, you should have the island in sight at dawn.

Not bad.

For a dropout.

Selma, confirm Howland Island.

Confirmed, Captain.

That is a truly insignificant flight back.

Isn't it?

Actually, Mr. O 'Leary, it holds a place in American history.

It does?

Yes, Captain.

It was here that Amelia Earhart disappeared mysteriously in 1937.

Thank you, Selma. I needed that.

All right, I'm going to tell the passengers to get ready.

Hey, listen up, everybody.

I'm going to try to make an emergency landing on Helmuth Island.

Brace yourself.

I knew it.

We're all going to die.

Latham, the man said to brace yourself.

Let me show you how.

We're about to land.

I heard. I'll be right there.

You better come now.

You think so?

I think it's safer.

All right.

We've got a straight shot, but we have to get it on the first pass.

What do you want me to do? Get on the throttles.

Right, Hattie.

So many in place?

Yes, Captain. Be sure to maintain sufficient airspeed to avoid stalling.

Right.

Here we go.

Throttle back.

Captain, you are coming in too high.

Back. Easy.

Lower your angle of attack.

Easy.

He'll be okay.

Too low, Captain.

Pull up.

Power. Power!

Pull up!

Push it!

Easy, easy.

Optimum approach.

There's nothing but trees.

There will be a clearing, Captain.

All right, that's it. Easy. Back, back, back, back, back.

Pull up.

Pull up. Someone set you?

No.

Clearing inside.

I got it.

You okay?

All right, everybody, listen up.

Check the supplies.

Most of the food is ruined. There's almost no water left.

My God.

What about the mixes in the bar?

All the bottles were shattered.

How long till help gets here?

We don't know.

As far as we can tell, no one's received our emergency transmissions. We're

marooned.

The main radios are out, but we do have an auxiliary unit, and it's sending out

an automatic distress call.

Can the auxiliary be programmed to slide through the frequencies while

transmitting?

It should help you get through faster.

Is that so?

Thanks. We'll give it a shot.

In the meantime, we've got to pitch some kind of cover and organize supplies and

find some water.

In case you don't know it, you've got a nasty cut above your eye there.

Scout the terrain to the north. Does anybody want to check out the south?

My arm's shot, but I think I'm okay.

I'll go.

You're all right.

Try to find some fresh water.

I'll need some fruit juice.

I beg your pardon?

I think I can rig a water de -stylenizer, but I'll need a mild acid.

Citrus fruit would be perfect.

You're sure, Mr... Hobbs.

Denny Hobbs.

Hobbs. All right, we'll see what we can do.

There is a tarp and some rope in that tail section.

I figure we can construct a lean -to over here. Just assemble anything

Selma. Yes, Captain?

Denny Hobbs. Is he who I think he is?

Indeed, Captain. He will eventually hold over a thousand seminal patterns and be

known as the Thomas Edison of the 21st century.

One moment, Captain.

I'm receiving an acknowledgement of our distress call.

Visual mode, let's hear it.

Kelsey Air, this is Navy 2 -6. What is your position?

Navy 2 -6, this is Kelsey Air. We are stranded at longitude 184 west, latitude

degrees, 47 minutes north, over.

Managed to land.

Roger, Kelsey Air, this is Navy 2 -6. I copy your position and make it Howland

Island. How many souls on board are there?

Navy 26, this is Kelsey Air. If by souls you mean human passengers and crew,

there are eight souls on board. Our pilot is seriously injured and in need

immediate medical attention. Over. Roger, Kelsey Air. This is Navy 26.

At current speed, we cannot reach your position before 2100 hours tomorrow.

Will your man make it? Over.

Hello, Navy 26. This is Kelsey.

Assuming a 29 -hour delay, the probability of his recovery is 7 .3%.

Hello, Kelsey, this is Navy 2 -6. Say again?

I'll take it, Selma.

Navy 2 -6, this is a passenger.

The pilot's chances are not good, but we'll do the best we can.

Mr. Kelsey, you're out.

That was Lambert.

How long will it take us to get there?

To Allen, not more than three hours.

Good. The Aussies aren't going to find any survivors.

How's it going?

I think it's going to work.

You are amazing.

Hey, princess.

Get your bottom over there and secure that line.

Now!

I don't know how.

Then there's still something you can learn from an old sailor. I thought you

were a fireman. Before I was a fireman, I was a sailor.

A thebe in WW2.

You ever hear of it?

I happen to be a Harvard graduate.

I'll try not to hold that against you.

Now just watch.

Here's the tricky part.

Just remember, the mouse goes in and out.

And all about... taught, but adjustable.

It appears that the pinhole was intentionally

made. Bergdorf.

Why would he sabotage his own airplane?

Somebody told him I was on it.

Hey!

Chuck's back.

No water, but I found some mangoes.

Are there any more?

That's all I saw, but maybe further inland.

How many do you need? Two.

Two.

How about if we each take one and we'll save the rest for later?

One for the pilot, too.

Did I hear something?

What is that?

It's my beeper.

Excuse me.

What is it, Selma?

Captain, I'm receiving a transmission from a rescue helicopter.

All right.

Patch him through.

Kelsey Air, this is Rescue Zero Three.

Do you read me? Over.

Rescue Zero Three, this is Kelsey Air.

We read you loud and clear. Over.

Roger, Kelsey Air. We are approximately five minutes from Howland Island.

What is your condition?

Rescue 03, this is Kelsey here. We have a few injuries, but we're all very much

alive. Over.

Roger, Kelsey. We're on our way.

Rescue 03 out.

They'll be here in a few minutes. Everybody gather up your belongings.

Come on!

You know who that was, don't you? No. That was the old man himself.

I knew he wouldn't let us down. The old man.

Bergdorf? Yeah, can you imagine him taking the time to rescue us personally?

What a guy.

I don't get it.

Bergdorf doesn't give a damn about his employees.

He's coming to kill us, pal, as if you didn't know.

What do you mean by that?

The pressurization system didn't fail.

It was sabotaged.

Oh, God.

He knew I was coming before we left Hawaii.

You think I tipped him?

Think what you like, boyo.

I wouldn't be so stupid as to target myself.

Well, now we're both targets.

Come on, let's get everybody out of here.

All right, everybody, listen up.

You all have to get out of sight.

This might sound ridiculous, but Bergdorf is coming to kill O 'Leary and

What? There isn't much time, all right? You're in a great deal of danger.

This is no time to be cracking jokes.

I'm dead serious.

Then you're crazy.

Well, the story's crazy.

So crazy it has to be true.

Come on.

Look, if you've got a fight with Bergdorf, that's between you guys.

But I'm going to welcome that rescue team with open arms.

You don't get it, do you? If Bergdorf kills the two of us, you think he's

to leave any witnesses behind?

That is nonsense.

I don't have time to argue with you.

Get in the jungle or break your other arm.

And I won't be half as polite.

Now go.

You too, Princess.

Move it. All right.

But you'd better be right.

There it is.

Over there.

There's the crash site.

Lock and load.

Lay low.

We should be signaling it.

We're making a mistake.

Will you shut up?

Coming straight at us

Ready

to move

He's got some kind of sensing device.

An adze replete, Captain.

Can you neutralize it?

Yes, Captain.

Transmitter.

Ah!

Lambers knocked this thing out. Set up a search pattern.

They're going away.

Don't celebrate yet.

They're flying a search pattern. We've got nowhere to hide. What we need is

kind of anti -aircraft ordnance. You're right.

My desalinizer.

Your what?

I can improvise something from its parts.

Something that can shoot down a helicopter?

Yes. I'll need that diamond. My ring?

If he says he can do it, he can do it.

How long will it take?

Just a few minutes. If the laser isn't totaled.

It's all right.

I'll need a battery of some kind.

So we're lucky to have Dennis Hobbs along just when we need him.

So it would seem, Captain. Although I am concerned that his file does not

indicate patents for any weapons.

He's a genius.

I need some tape.

Here you go.

All right.

Hold this.

Voila.

What is it?

It's called a Vorbfaust.

A what?

A Vorbfaust. It's supposed to be repeating, but this model is just a

shot. You just aim and press here to fire.

Are you sure it'll work?

It's the most feasible weapon I've ever designed.

So you have designed other weapons, then? Oh, yeah, a whole battery.

There's the Transfixer, the Demogalizer, and for really sensational effects,

there's this digital Cellbuster.

Wait a minute, I've never heard of those weapons.

Well, that's because you aren't into games.

Games?

Well, yeah, I designed all these for Seizure of the Doomsday Aliens, the

computer game that made my fortune.

Let me get this straight. This is an imaginary weapon designed for a computer

game. Well, don't worry.

I would never put anything into a game that wouldn't work in theory. The end

users would complain if I did.

We're all going to get killed if this doesn't work.

Trust me.

Right behind.

Hold on hold on it's not over yet. There might be survivors. What do you want us

to do? I just wait here. I'll be right back

He said we should stay here.

Well, no.

I never was any good at obeying orders.

Selma, it looks like no one survived.

Wrong, Lambert.

Bergdorf.

Why don't you give up? You can't win this thing.

No, but I can still kill you. Bergdorf, over here.

Who said I'd deliver Bergdorf to you tonight?

Captain, darling.

You're as good as your word.

It's funny.

I always lived a high life.

It never really meant anything.

It's the first time that I ever felt...

Michael O 'Leary!

You know, you're just like my mother.

Knock, knock, knock.

It's been a pleasure to have business with you.

You just stay out of trouble, Boyle.

No, no. I have a whole new conscience.

Good.

Compliments of Mr. M .J. Carlton, ma 'am.

Thank you.

Maxwell J. Carlton of Pan Asian Oil?

Yeah, he's a special friend of mine.

A special friend?

Yeah. Well, a girl has to get by one way or another.

You don't have to do that, Linda.

You could be a nurse. You've got the talent.

Yeah. Well, you could be inventing something besides electronic games.

Okay. It's a deal.

What?

I'll concentrate on important inventions if you'll forget about Mr. Big Shot and

go back to nursing school.

I'll pay for it.

Why would you do that?

I don't know.

I just want to.

Give this to Mr. Carlton, please.

Tell him I won't be joining him after all.

So, where are you guys headed?

We're going to finish off the trip together.

To Kelsey?

No, Tahiti.

Our plane was headed to Kelsey Island, not Tahiti.

It was?

Yes.

My God, I got on the wrong plane.
