You're about to be let in on the most highly classified data in America. We

a device that can allow us to send one human being back in time.

As you all know, the recent advances we've made with Project Backstaff are

significant, but there are also drawbacks and limitations to the system.

do you want to address this?

Well, for starters, we're just beginning to understand Roswell technology.

Our navigational system, primitive at best.

Olga, what's the latest on Parker's condition?

Well, during the last back step, he suffered the loss of a microlayer of

epidermis, some minor lacerations through the facial area, and he lost the

filling.

Psychologically, he's Parker.

Well, is there anything that we can do to make the trip more comfortable for

him? Well, I suppose we could fill the sphere with styrofoam popcorn.

Well, I don't see why we need to coddle this guy.

I mean, John Glenn went into orbit and...

An oversized sardine can.

With respect for Mr. Glenn, he wasn't traveling through another dimension.

I think what Frank would really use is a little R &R.

He doesn't like being cooped up here one bit, does he?

because he doesn't feel any pain.

So what are you saying?

Ramsey, he is not going to like this.

That's why I want to be the one to tell him.

Hey, a little early to be checking out, isn't it?

I thought I'd use Saturday night to catch up on some sleep so I can be a

effective operative.

So, What's up?

A head of state choke on a bone? A stray nuke hit Shamu? No, Frank, this has

nothing to do with the sphere.

No kidding. A change of pace.

I like that.

Wilderness survival training?

Uh, no.

Frank, this is the same course every Air Force pilot goes through. Just think of

it as a vacation.

You're gonna love it.

You know, I think of the Maui Four Seasons as a vacation or... Is that

You leave at 0400.

We have filter compression on. We're at 100%. Yeah.

Okay. You're good.

If it's not possible, it's the end of humanity.

Dr. Forsythe? It's Dr. Forsythe!

He's having a heart attack.

Someone call a doctor. It's gone.

The Ebola virus.

Just stay calm, sir. The doctor's almost here.

Lita? Lita, can I ask you something?

Sure, Kevin.

You've renounced Satan, haven't you?

I broke up with my loser boyfriend, if that's what you mean.

I was just about to go to the airport.

Sometimes I hand out pamphlets.

Maybe you'd like to go with me?

Get to know each other better.

Um...

Maybe some other time.

What if there wasn't any other time?

I'm sorry?

What if this was the last night you could do something meaningful with your

life?

What if it all came down to how you spend the next few hours?

I guess I wouldn't worry about doing my roots.

Bye.

Well, you missed your chance.

Jesus wept.

No coincidence.

Look who's here.

Oh, come on.

Ramsey's got to be kidding.

Ramsey's not much in the sense of humor department. In case you hadn't noticed.

He is, however, concerned you'll try to escape the course as soon as you can.

See, Ramsey has trust issues.

You want to tell me what's the point of a survival course with guards?

We're only here as observers.

Can't actually help you. In other words, you goons have tents.

Beds and food. And something else even more important.

Toilet paper.

With aloe.

See ya.

Parker, come back.

You can run, but you can't hide.

And I look, and behold, a pale horse.

And his name that sat on it was death.

And hell followed with it.

You vipers. You generation of vipers.

How can you escape the damnation of hell?

Destruction cometh.

And they shall seek peace and there shall be none.

And whosoever was not found written in the book of life will be cast into the

lake of fire.

There'll be a bitter harvest, and the harvest is the end of the world.

The reaper will be the angels.

Excuse me, but are you looking for someone?

Ah, no.

You ladies have safe flights, no matter where you're going.

You make this minestrone yourself?

Old family recipe.

Exquisite. Want another baguette?

No, thanks.

I'll tell you what, though.

I wouldn't mind a tad more of that pate.

Of course.

Thanks.

Hey, Frank, you can come out now.

You mind if we call you Frank?

Tell you what, buddy, if you're a good boy, we might even leave you some of our

crumbs.

Maybe he enjoys the taste of bugs.

You know, I did hear they're very high in protein.

Hey, fellas, what's up?

Parker, let us down. Let us down now.

Gentlemen, this is quite some spread.

Provolone, that's my favorite.

Very nice.

Homemade.

If Ramsey finds out, we'll lose our jobs.

I won't tell if you don't.

I wouldn't hang around here too long if I were you guys.

Cougars, you know.

Major Drake, Army Criminal Investigations Detachment.

Mind if I ask you a few questions, Mr.

Poe? Of course, of course, please.

Come in. Thank you.

What's the problem?

There was an incident down at the lab. I heard. Dr. Forsyth, terrible.

Every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.

Meaning what, sir?

Just saying.

Would you like some tea? No, thank you.

Was there something suspicious about Dr. Forsythe's death?

No. No, he had a heart attack.

But our inventory revealed that a controlled substance is missing from his

That's efficient.

Excuse me, sir?

That you're already on top of it. Commendable.

Dr. Forsythe's dealt with very dangerous organisms.

Is that right?

Genetically engineered.

Things God never meant us to fool with. And this symbol on the wall.

What does that mean?

The International Sign for Deadly Infectious Disease.

This is a special report.

No corner of the globe has been unaffected by the devastating spread of

killer virus.

According to CDC spokesmen, the first cases appeared in southeastern

Pennsylvania. Within 24 hours, the virus spread worldwide, decimating

populations from London to Beijing.

As scientists race to find a cure, this much is known.

Symptoms of the virus include bleeding from the nose, throat, and lungs.

Collapse of the central nervous system then follows quickly, as does death.

The president has declared martial law to stop the vigilante burning of

neighborhoods. What is incomprehensible is that the virus spreads so rapidly and

across so many continents.

All we know is it showed up first here in America.

The whole human race could be facing extinction.

We've got authorization for an immediate backstep. To do what? Stop Mother

Nature? This may not be a natural occurrence. The data we have indicate

virus could well have been man -made.

Who the hell would want to release something that kills everybody?

Not some suicidal Middle Eastern camel -riding malcontent that hates us. Look

the kamikazes in WWII.

If it was man -made and it started here on this continent, we have bio -labs in

San Francisco, the CDC in Atlanta, at MIT in Boston. And the Army has a bio

-laboratory just outside Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

The FBI and CIA are conducting investigations of all those

speak. In the meantime, get Parker off that island and get the sphere ready to

go.

Oh my God.

I'm ready to come home.

I like it out here.

Parker, put this on.

Killer virus.

98 % of the world's population has got it.

Randy, talk to me.

U .S. Army.

U .S. Army that the Army isn't too good. What about it?

tell me.

I ain't getting lieutenant.

Can you keep us in the air?

I was born to fly, sir.

Since table I started.

I'll get us home. Yes.

Good playing, kid.

Oh, thank God.

Come on. We've got to get you some help.

Listen, get in the sphere.

Forget that. Come on. No, there's nothing you can do here now, okay?

Listen to me. I'm not going to leave you like this. Listen, there's a place

called U .S. Amrit. You have to go there. Is that where it started?

We think so.

Go.

Please, I didn't forget.

Engage. Engage.

What year is it?

1861.

Dude, what are you talking about?

Great job, guys!

Wait a second.

This is a reenactment, right?

This is the real battle of Gettysburg.

General Grant, he just drove off into the...

We got a problem. Lawn sprinklers go off again.

No, somebody's got your horse.

You'll want this back.

You can't miss the guy. White hair, great uniform, and, uh... Oh, yeah.

He's got his own army.

Sergeant Walker.

Conundrum. Holy cow. Sir, it's Conundrum.

Go ahead, Conundrum. What day is it, sir?

July 1st. Seven days ago.

You're not gonna like this.

In the next seven days, 98 % of the world's population is gonna get wiped

some kind of airborne virus.

How could a virus spread so quickly?

We don't know.

Could be a first -strike weapon.

Are we talking foreign origin? We're not sure.

Do you have the virus's DNA map?

Or the time vector of the epidemic spread?

Look, there wasn't time to get any of that together.

Meaning we were dead?

Where are you now?

Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.

Look, you were sending me to U .S. Amrit. You thought they might have

to do with this.

Parker, I'm sending Olga to meet you there.

Yes, sir.

Alan, I want projections. The rest of us will chart hospitals and clinics. Let's

get to work.

Mr. Parker.

Olga, it's, uh... It's, uh... Wonderful to see you.

Really great. Nice to see you too, Mr. Parker.

Shall we?

Oh, yeah, sure.

articles and 60 minutes pieces are quite frightening but frankly your projection

of an epidemic of this magnitude is unrealistic well we have good reason to

believe otherwise doctor you've asked my opinion as director of this facility

i've rendered it you say this virus doesn't exist but you're wrong i've seen

results on paper right world decimation is that so man I asked you a question,

Dr. Hargrove. What is the third step in the Krebs cycle? What?

Any real scientist would know this, but you don't have a clue, do you? How dare

you? Of course not. He's a decoy, a PR guy.

Nice work, Olga.

Thank you.

You're welcome. You're delusional.

No, desperate and unstable.

And I really should be locked up for my temper. Isn't that right, Olga?

Trust me.

Mr. Parker, Dr. Vukovich.

I'm sorry about the deception, but I hope you understand the need for

precaution. The NSA has confirmed your identities.

I'm Dr. Forsythe.

Dr. Stanford Forsythe. You dropped out of sight years ago.

Yes, to run this program.

And your mother wouldn't happen to be Irina Primanova, would she?

Actually, she would, yes.

You're the very picture of her.

Now, if you'll both come with me.

Do you ever think about what might have been?

Almost constantly.

The symptoms you described point to the Ebola family.

Which you do or do not play with here?

Of course, we don't play with anything.

All right. We do create mutations to determine possible cure scenarios.

But as you can see, accidental release is not a possibility.

Our containment procedures are state of the art.

What if it weren't an accident? What if someone spread the bug on purpose?

Well, they'd have to have high -level access, be very clever, and have a hell

a death wish.

Take a look at the most lethal critters ever to exist.

It's not possible. What's the problem?

It's gone.

A vial of 550.

Come on, Doc. Don't do this.

Lita?

Lita, can I ask you something?

Sure, Kevin.

You've renounced Satan, haven't you?

Thank you.

One of the viral samples is missing.

How long?

Couldn't be more than 30 minutes.

Code Red, get this building shut down immediately.

Anybody who's been here today, get them back here now.

And when you are gathered together with your cities...

I will send the pestilence among you.

Did you notice any unauthorized personnel around your station today?

No, sir. Anybody acting nervous or agitated?

No. All the employees were accounted for except for three, who either weren't

home or weren't answering their phones. Here are their jacket files.

Nothing to indicate any kind of mental instability or... Everyone here has had

extensive background checks, Smith.

All right, we got Neger Rice, William Sims, and Kevin Poe.

Kevin? He's not here?

Is there something we should know about Kevin?

Well, he's looked clean cut and everything. He's kind of weird.

Weird how?

He's a religious nut. You know, he quotes from the Bible all the time.

But something he said to me in the parking lot sort of creeped me out

What was that?

He asked what I would do if I knew it was going to be the last night of my

Oh, my God. He also said something about going to the airport.

If you wanted to spread a virus around the world, how would you do it?

And I looked, and behold, a pale horse.

And his name that sat on it was Death.

And the hell followed with it.

There he is.

West Queen. I'll call for backup.

No, keep your men away.

How can you escape the detonation of hell?

Destruction comets.

They will take peace and there shall be none.

Degeneration will divide them.

Freeze, Poe!

Turn around very slowly.

You probably know what this is.

If I drop this, you'll be the first to die.

That's not God's plan.

How do you know?

God told me I'd be saved.

You will be too, if you're a just man.

Are you a just man?

I'm working on it.

We saved the prodigal son. Maybe he'll save you too.

Get ready for judgment day.

Don't. for I will at this time send all my plagues upon thine heart and upon thy

servants and upon thy people.

It's got nothing to do with you. That was God talking to Pharaoh about

the Jews.

Blasphemy!

And all the wicked shall be destroyed. Psalm 145, verse 20, you left out the

beginning. It starts, The Lord preserveth all them that love him.

The wages of sin... The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal

life.

How can you know this?

For I have seen God face to face.

I can tell you, sir.

Well, Dr.

Forsythe is recuperating nicely.

Can't imagine what would have happened if you hadn't been here this morning.

I can. Believe me, it's not pretty.

You've more than earned some R &R, Frank.

I was thinking we might be able to arrange a little vacation.

No, thanks. I've seen what you guys consider a vacation.

I'd rather spend a night somewhere around here if that's all right with

It's the least we can do.

Olga, why don't you take 24 hours, too?

Thank you.

So, Lita, where's the best place to stay in town?

For you?

Yeah.

Alone?

Well... You don't expect me to stay in the second best place, do you?

Then, uh, I guess it's not alone.

How can I help you?

I'd like a single room for one night, please.

And I think I'll take a honeymoon suite. You got those here, right?

Yes, we do. Great.

What, you don't think what I just did is worth a few taxpayer dollars?

No, no, you go ahead.

Live it up.

I intend to.

And send up a bottle of Stoli and four ounces of beluga caviar as soon as you

can. Very good. Expecting company?

Feeling lonely?

I have a lot of work to catch up with. Oh, come on. You cooped up in that place

just as much as I am.

I have a life, Mr. Parker. I just don't choose to share the intimate details of

it with you.

All right, fine.

Just answer me one question.

What do you do for fun, Miss Vukovic?

Does my room have CNN?

Yes, ma 'am. Are you kidding, Mike?

Please tell me you're kidding.

Please sign here, sir.

What a waste.

Didn't expect to see you tonight.

Wolf Blitzer was boring me.

Ah.

This last one was tough for you, wasn't it?

You don't want to hear about it.

No, I do. I want to know what you know.

I need to be able to see... How much longer I can take it before I crack?

I watch my kid's funeral, you know?

And then I backstep, fiddle with a few events, and then he's alive again.

Anything can be changed.

Ultimately, there's no order.

Sometimes I get the feeling nobody's in charge of the unit, you know what I

mean?

But maybe somebody is, and that's why you're here.

I thought you were supposed to be a good communist, believe in the state instead

of God.

No, I'm supposed to be a good scientist, Mr. Parker.

I have not yet seen proof that there is no empirical order to the universe.

That's because you don't remember some of the timelines I do. This last one

like I was watching the whole planet die.

Ballard, Donovan...

I don't know if I can take that

again.

What are you thinking?

Just that I have never seen an American honeymoon suite.

Well...

Just so happens I have one.

Do you still have that bottle of Stoli?

Damn straight.

Would you excuse me a moment?

Of course.

Just back off.

Hey.

He's got himself!

Back off!

Get out of the car! Oh, no, please, move!

Excuse me, what happened?

Some guy flipped out in the bar and just stole a car.

Some guy.

Ted, this is an emergency. I need that phone.

Do you understand the word emergency?

Do you understand the word bite me?

Do you understand this?

Okay. Okay.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

don't know where he's gone he was obviously distraught because he stole a

need an NSA team if Parker's unstable the secrecy of the entire project's in

jeopardy yeah but what if he's not unstable what if something else is wrong

him oh my god come on

I told you the day would come when Parker just flipped out. Would you

me? Not tonight, son.

Like a hawk, sir.

I'm born to fly 16 when I'm started. If he's out there, I'll find him.

In pursuit of a

capital cab, North Town Road, just off Interstate 97.

Sounds like Parker. Should we check it out?

There.

Take it down.

That's the sign for infectious disease.

My God.

She is infected.

Ramsey?

I was trying to be quiet.

Oh, man, don't tell me your face is going to be the last one I see.

Not if I can help it.

not fair.

He saved us all.

Twice.

He's gonna die, isn't he?

I've been developing an antitoxin.

Just enough for one dose.

I don't know if he'll make it.

Will you follow me, please?

If you're okay.

Just follow me.

I'll stay with him, Doctor.

I knew it, man.

What did he say?

He said he could use a beer.

Yeah.

Welcome back, buddy. You did good.

I don't know how you did it, but you managed to contain the virus to

We checked everyone who came near you last night. All negative.

Olga? Yes, Mr. Parker.

You still want to check out that honeymoon suite?
