Original subtitles

Out of the fire of earth attraction, beyond the limits of the world, where

and machine and spirit unite.

Born by the power of lightning into the 21st century.

It is the end of the beginning. It is the time of super force.

I don't need anything!

Are you all right?

Yes, yes, I'm fine. Are you sure?

You look as if you're having a troubled thought or some odd vision.

I don't think anything's too odd for this day and age, Victor.

You know, if there's any problem, you can call me any time, 24 hours. That's

what I'm here for.

Loretta?

Yes.

Please connect me with Officer Zack Stone over at the Central Division.

All I'm sure of is that some girl is in trouble and I'm picking up thoughts or

impressions from her.

Like what?

Dark, very dark thoughts.

She's in real trouble, whoever she is.

That's it? That's all you know about the girl?

Well, only that she has a lot of psychic potential.

Her thoughts have really reached out to me.

Have you brought this up with your superiors at Esper?

I would.

It's just... What?

I'm not in a case.

If I start getting visions and they're out of my control, wham!

They send me on this vacation called psychiatric deferment.

And then they set me up with this conference with Dr.

Sankara. But wait a minute. You're a captain. They can't do that.

And a Ph .D.

Well, and a victim of the bureaucracy like the rest of it.

You know what I've come to realize?

Hierarchy is nothing more than an invisible architecture used to contain

harness our power and potential as individuals.

You know what? What? You sound exactly like my friend down at Esper.

Well,

dying, almost, does tend to change the way you look at things.

That's why I came to you, Zack.

I knew you'd understand what a burden these visions can be.

Listen, all you have to do is ask.

I mean, I owe you my life.

No, you don't. Yeah, I do.

No. I do.

Xander, you brought me back from the edge.

Is that why you like me?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Well, what do you think we should do?

I mean, about the girl.

Well, I wish I had a little more to go on. I guess we'll start with some recent

abductions and go from there.

Good.

Man, there are thousands of disappearances nationally.

Hundreds locally.

We might just be spinning our wheels.

No. Sanders, you're good. She says these impressions are real.

I believe her.

You're right.

She wouldn't make a mistake, I don't think.

And there is sound scientific evidence for her impressions being real in

Chester's macro -universe theorem.

What's that?

You see, in quantum mechanics, subatomic particles are linked. Even at great

distances, they communicate at speeds faster than light. At the moment of

creation, either by the Big Bang or whatever, all particles were linked.

and they continue to be linked even as they fly farther apart.

In fact, Zack, we are made of those particles.

Yeah, you see, we interact with them. They're around us every day, every

Aspers can interpret them.

They seem to read them.

You don't have to convince me of that.

I really am concerned, Santa.

It's the paperwork.

It's got me stressed.

Doesn't paperwork stress you, Doctor?

All the more reason for us to have a rap session.

Do me a favor.

If I do, will you then leave me alone?

You don't mean that.

No, look, I want you to relax.

Then shut off that music.

Please, just close your eyes.

Relax. Let your mind clear.

You look worried.

Frightened. Alone.

I can take care of it by myself.

If only that were true.

And then it just happened.

Right there with the doctor.

These images are so indistinct and almost symbolic.

Are you sure this wasn't a dream?

Yes. I know the difference between something that happens from the inside

something that comes in from the outside.

Well, here.

What's this?

The printout of every name of every disappearance in the last six months.

What am I supposed to do with it?

Well, go through it.

See if any name jumps out at you. See if you pick up any vibes.

Are you serious?

Doesn't work that way.

Only in the funny papers.

I was thinking we do an actual investigation, police style.

Well, then we're going to have to narrow it down a little.

Start with the recent abductions, maybe from yesterday or the day before.

Older buildings with big basements, maybe a hotel.

What's the matter?

I can't breathe.

Sandra.

Sandra.

Are you okay?

Well?

Well, what, man? Do something. Like what?

Come on, Xander.

I'm okay.

Thank God. Happy.

I've got it.

What? It's an address.

Well, it's a street name anyway.

It's Orange Drive.

Take it easy. I think we should call her a doctor. No, I said I'm fine.

No, we've got a street name. There's a girl in trouble and she needs our help.

Look, you've got to calm down, okay? Think about yourself for a second.

It's not the way I work. I know. FX and I will take the computer readout and

we'll go check out anything remotely related to Orange Drive.

Norma! Let her get you some fruit juice or something.

Okay, take five minutes, go back to your office.

We'll call you as soon as we get something, all right?

Norma, do you have a street map?

There's no match. I've checked.

There are no kidnappings or disappearances whatsoever relating to

Orange Drive, Orange Avenue, or even Orange Blossom Trail.

All dead ends.

Metaphorically.

Xander left the bar.

She hasn't shown up at Asbury.

I had a strange feeling.

You worried?

Yeah.

I used a real location.

It gives the vision a much greater verisimilitude.

Hi, Victor.

Was this some sort of psychological test?

Very clever.

Why don't you tell me about it on the way back to the office?

Don't move.

Let's stop this and get back to the office so you can tell me what this is

about. You think I'm an idiot?

I give up. What are you?

I have been in love with you for a long, long time.

I'm flattered. No, you're not.

You have rejected my every advance.

Oh, okay, Victor.

Well, why don't you just try it some more? I'll reconsider.

I had hoped that by planting psychic images into your mind, you would come to

appreciate how I felt.

I'm impressed, Victor.

I had no idea your powers were so advanced.

I'm better than you or anyone else on this force. But then, you should know.

You picked up on my thoughts. Tell me, Xander.

How did it feel?

What a stupid victim. I wanted you to feel the way your rejection made me

Like I was trapped inside my own body. Like there's no air.

Helpless and alone.

Okay.

Okay, Victor.

Just be careful with that thing.

Now I know why you resisted me.

There's someone out there.

Who?

Officer Zach Stone.

You're crazy.

Look, Zach's not... I'm not involved with him.

No?

Pity.

But it doesn't matter.

This was supposed to be between us.

But now you've involved another man.

And now...

Both of you have to die.

Are you sure she hasn't been there or checked in for her messages?

Is Dr. Sincar in?

All right.

When Xander gets in, please have her call Zach Stone as soon as possible.

Thanks.

Zach!

Zach.

What are you doing?

I'm sending messages to Loverboy to lead him here.

I told you I'm not involved with Zach Stone.

You may think that you're not, but I know that you are deep down inside. Now

shut up!

Zach?

Zach!

What is it?

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

I just have these flashes.

The visions of Xander screaming out for me like she's in some kind of danger.

When you were on the phone, you mentioned something about Dr. Zincara.

Yeah, that's Xander's supervisor.

I thought he might know where she is.

Zach, in Spanish, Zincara roughly means without a face.

Oh, no.

It won't work!

It's working.

He thinks it's you calling out for help.

But he'll never find the exact location where you're buried.

And besides, I've planted booby traps everywhere.

He'll die instantly.

And you'll die without air.

Cold and alone.

Like me.

I think you underestimate him. Not likely.

But even if he does find you, I've rigged the coffin.

Touch it, and it'll blow you both away.

Now, get in.

No.

That's not easy.

I suppose that's understandable.

Listen to me, Victor.

I say with all sincerity, you need a psychiatrist.

I am a psychiatrist.

Yeah? Funny how that worked out.

Sankara is her vision of a spaceless man.

I can see it.

The building.

The street. I know where it is.

Zack, you're not an esper, man.

These thoughts aren't mine. They're being put into my head.

Xander did go into your mind once already, Zack.

I've got to do something to help her.

Zack! What about the suit?

If Super Force shows up, Sankara might panic. Xander might get hurt. I've got

do this myself.

Your new powers?

You don't fully understand how to use them yet.

Well, I better learn quick, huh? I've got no choice.

Zinkara? I know you're here.

Give it up, Sin Cara.

Damn you.

No way you can win.

Xander?

In fact, this is wild, man.

Zack, what's happening?

I can see the heat of her body coming through the ground.

Like a flame in the dark.

Wait a minute.

Something's wrong. She's sending me images of explosions.

She's warning me that she's booby -trapped.

Be careful, Zack.

It's a Reichman gyro bomb.

It'll blow in four seconds if I even touch it.

What are you going to do?

Something in less than four seconds.

Why is that?

Yeah,

but what fireworks, huh?

Explosive.
