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 beginnings. It is the time of the super force.

Howard, you can go now.

I'm going to be here at least a couple more hours.

I'll lock up.

See you tomorrow.

Fogman!

You've come back.

And all on your own.

Dr. Denuncia will be so happy to see you.

No!

What?

You can talk?

Maybe you're not such a monster.

No!

You hungry, Fogman?

Okay.

Why don't you wait here, and I'll go get some help, okay?

What?

Wait.

Get away from there.

There are rich plutonium pellets in there.

We use them to bombard things, like the bone.

Tells us how old they are.

How could I make you understand?

If you open this, it could kill us both.

Doc!

Doc!

I know you think you were doing the right thing or the noble thing in

that creature go. No, it escaped.

Fine. Well, now it's back.

What are you talking about?

I stole the canister of highly radioactive plutonium from DiNunzio's

This could be a disaster.

It is bad news.

No, it's good news.

Now I got a way to track him.

So our interdimensional friend has resurfaced, has he?

I don't get it.

When we saw E .L. run off into the woods that night, I thought that was the last

we'd see of him. But, Zack, you never spoke to E .L. You just exchanged

Maybe you interpreted them wrong.

I don't think so.

It's unlikely.

You've actually become pretty incredible with your new powers.

It just seems so weird. This huge man is a priest from another dimension who's

trying to get back his sacred flame.

Yeah, and FX, your own analysis of his blood showed that he wasn't human.

He had, uh, what was it?

Xanthanone. Right, yeah.

Which doesn't even exist in nature.

I also point out, you gentlemen, that the artifacts he stole, although

throughout different geological strata, all were dated as coming from the same

time.

No. I believe Zack got all the information correct.

Maybe he hadn't collected everything that he needed.

It's just that he was gone for so long.

He must have always known that plutonium was at the lab.

Why did he just take it now?

What was he waiting for?

I don't know.

But if he opens that plutonium's lead container and exposes it, Merkel's going

to have a way to track him. Yeah, not to mention the fact that anyone who comes

in contact with Eow could be contaminated.

You a leprechaun? My mom said there were leprechauns in the forest.

Wow, you're too big to be a leprechaun.

You must be a hermit.

Yo!

Yo!

Jamie, was it you playing the music?

I heard some weird music and I followed it here.

Maybe it was mostly in my head. I don't see any radio.

Wah!

Wah!

Wah!

That's my lunch.

What do you want?

This?

I heard the music because of this?

It's not yours. My mom gave it to me. She found it out here in the woods.

I've got to teach him. I've got all day. I'm sick, so I don't have to go to

school anymore.

You don't believe me.

Here.

My National Health Card.

Can't you read?

Well, it says there's something wrong with me.

Cancer. My mom calls it the Big C.

The National Health Service says it's fatal, so I'm not allowed to go to

I'd just be taking the place of someone else.

Bring me the grab.

Okay, the plutonium source is roughly 100 yards in that direction.

Stay quiet. We're sneaking up on him.

I don't want any of you getting hurt.

Are you sad because you're a long way from home?

You want half my sandwich?

Peanut butter and jelly.

The anthem.

That's right. Real jelly.

Because I'm not in school, my mom doesn't have to follow those stupid

nutritional laws.

All right, on your toes. There it is.

Oh, brother.

He's got a kid.

You're my best marksman. You think you can pick him off without hitting the

All right, get a beat on him.

Careful.

What is it?

What?

Oh,

no.

He's got the kid.

Hold your fire!

Hold your fire!

You'll hit the kid, but I got marksmen for it. Follow him!

Stan, you three guys continue to follow him. We're going to cut back across the

road and see if we can pick him up there.

Let's go.

Heard about your hunting expedition, Merkle.

I've had enough of your attitude, Stone.

You just let some fact filter through your head.

Maybe you'd reevaluate your opinion of that monster. Take it to you, a child's

life's in danger. He's not the monster that opened fire on a kid with hollow

points. A couple of my men may have gotten carried away, but they did it in

name of the law. I work within the system, Stone.

You call that being a monster? Top!

I call your recklessness and insensitivity being a monster, Merkle.

the kid's mother!

We found your monster once, though, and we'll find him again when we do. Yeah,

you'll bring him and the kid down, won't you? Darn right.

I mean, no.

You know what I mean. Yeah, sometimes, Merkle, I know exactly what you mean.

Good. Fine. Great.

Okay.

Those are the things that he outstole.

Yeah, but what's he done with them?

Well, he needs them, somehow, to get back.

They line up straight with downtown Metroplex.

Wait a minute. They line up all right, but not with Metroplex.

With what, then?

Something up there, in the sky.

Okay.

Zack! What are you doing? He outneeds this stuff. That's why we're not going

leave it here to get stolen or vandalized. It's too important.

But, Zach, he put it here. Look, he's tracked this stuff across dimensions.

He knows where it is. If he needs it, he'll be in touch.

Help me out, will you?

Let's go.

Zack, I believe your instincts were absolutely spot on.

Though constructed of seemingly primitive materials, our

friend's stone pile is in reality a highly sophisticated celestial compass.

Sort of like a divining rod to the stars, huh?

If, as you say, the center line of Eao's artifacts point due west from Burnham

Woods, then the most amazing thing happened.

At precisely midnight tonight, the mound of rocks on the left will line up with

the first star in the constellation Ophiuchus, and the rocks on the right

aim dead center at Orion's belt.

What would that accomplish?

At that exact moment, the twig that he's arranged point dead center at

Sagittarius and Aquarius by drawing a straight line through the Earth to

and Scorpio, each within one -half percent of a degree arc.

Now, that's beyond the realm of coincidence.

That's a level of accuracy that's comparable to the astroscope you

Yes, and it took me a year to build that.

Taurus, Aquarius, Sagittarius, and Scorpio.

Earth, air, fire, and water.

What I don't understand is, this guy's supposed to be from another dimension,

not from outer space.

No, not another dimension.

A parallel dimension.

One close enough to ours that he was able to find a door and slip through it.

So our dimensions share signposts and landmarks?

Yeah. So he needs to find them to find the door so he can get back to his

reality. Yeah, that's why he had to wait until now for those stars to line up.

More than the stars. At precisely midnight, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will

a unique alignment straight up in the sky.

E .B., when will that alignment happen again?

Not for another 200 years.

I think he better plan on leaving tonight. Yeah, we gotta find him and get

back his stuff. By midnight.

Boys, if you would check the monitor from the perimeter camera, I believe

problem has been solved.

We trace the plutonium tracks to here, and the blips just disappear?

A half a pound of plutonium pellets can't just vanish!

What do you do, eat them?

Move out. On the double.

It's just incredible.

You sense these artifacts from your world and then follow your instinct to

lab. No, what's more incredible than that, Zach, are not only Jamie's bullet

wounds totally healed, but he also shows no sign of exposure to radiation and he

checks off completely healthy.

Hey, that's great.

Yeah, except his national health card says he's supposed to have incurable

cancer.

He did it. I told you.

glow, and then I was well.

My, my.

Our medicine man has confounded modern science.

Why can't E .L. see you?

Apparently, he cannot perceive two -dimensional images.

Since I have no negative reality, he can't sense me either.

A shame I could learn so much.

What's he saying?

Sometimes we don't understand Mr. Achievement. But come on. If we got

everything, we have to get E .L. to the woods before midnight.

Hold on. We don't have everything.

Eow, you came for the sacred flame.

Do you have it?

Uh, I think I have it.

Amazing. A crystal from Eow's dimension.

Its molecules must be arranged in a highly stressed crystalline lattice.

Sort of like a coiled spring.

He somehow can pass a resonant force from his mind into the crystal,

that energy.

Oh, if only there were...

Time to learn from him.

But there isn't.

I've got to call Jamie's mom and tell her that he's all right.

Then we can go.

Bingo. When technology fails, rely on instinct.

No, does he have to go?

I knew that troll would come back to the scene.

And this time, I got stoned as an accomplice.

Stan, this is Merkel. Report to Fire Zone A.

Jamie, look.

I know you care about Ian. So do I.

But sometimes the best thing you can do for people you care about is let them

go.

He doesn't belong here.

He has his own home.

And he's more important to his people than he is to us.

So what?

Don't go.

Zack.

Do something.

The alignment begins in less than 30 seconds.

Jamie, listen.

If Theo doesn't step through that door, he'll never make it back.

I don't care.

That's his music.

He says I can have it.

I understand now.

Okay.

Jamie by

He

used the

flame and left the crystal for you Jamie

What are you talking about, Merkel?

The thing, the monster, your buddy, where is he?

Yeah, what are you talking about, Merkel?

Okay, Stone, make this make sense for me.

I'm just so proud of you, Merkel.

You're proud of me?

Okay, now I really know I'm crazy.

Oh, don't be modest.

You risked your life to save Jamie here. Sure, the creature got away.

But you saved the kid. And that Bex and I both saw. You saw it? I saw it.

Stan! Where were you guys? You should have seen your commander here, man.

Unbelievable. He was great. He saved the kid. I wouldn't be surprised if you

got, like, a big... Merit badge.

In hallucinations.

You were great.

Let's go, Jamie.

See you, Myrtle.
