Original subtitles

Ever wish you could rid you last week all over again?

Well, my name's Frank V. Parker, and I do it all the time.

I work for a secret government project experimenting in time travel.

When things really get screwed up, I'm the guinea pig they send back to take

care of it.

The catch is, I can only go back seven days.

You are watching America Revealed, the voice of today's youth.

Our job is to expose the corruption and secrets of our government to its people.

From the intense to the mundane, we bring you stories from around the world.

man devoured by a snake? We bring it to you. Rampant sex in our government? We

bring it to you. Our failing economy?

Nah, that's too boring.

Tonight's episode deals with aliens. We think they exist.

We think they've been here. Now we need proof.

Our target, Never Never Land, the top secret government facility in Nevada.

Twenty years ago, one of our colleagues in journalism, Todd Pulaski, tried to

break in and expose to the world Roswell aliens rumored to be there. Now we will

show you, live and uncensored, no one else would dare.

We are going to own reality TV.

Without marrying trailer trash or eating worms.

Say hello to our compact wireless uplink to the internet.

Hi. I'm impressed.

I want producer credit.

When we confront those alien babysitters, the eyes of the world will

watching.

Say hello.

We're going to be famous.

Hello, Earthling.

Time is at hand.

Hey, Olga, aren't you going to help out on Donovan's test?

Oh, I have something to attend to. See you later.

Hang on. Where are you going?

Mr. Parker, what I do in my spare time is my business.

Come on. What's the big secret? What are you going to go?

Binge on donuts? Maybe get your roots done?

Sorry, bad joke.

Come on. Where are you really going?

If you really must know, I am going to the airport to pick up my sister.

Svetlana? You know, I'm not doing anything right now. I can go down there

pick her up for you. Oh, no, no, thank you. Come on, I like your sister. And

besides, I haven't seen her in, I don't know, over a year. Yes, you like my

sister because she's a little minx and you're not going to see her for another

ten years.

What? Why?

Because the two of you are like fuel and fire together, and you know it.

I'm because you're a dog.

I'm a dog.

How's he doing?

His hand -eye coordination's sweet, but he just can't take the pain like Frank.

Yeah, but he is getting better.

They rocked it.

How about we call it quits for the day, huh? Oh, no, let's go again.

You know what? Your stats are starting to slide anyways. You might want to just

give it a rest.

No, man, but I've got to get up to speed. Let's just do it again.

We appreciate the dedication, Craig, but you don't have anything to prove. We

all know Frank's uniquely suited to time jumps.

Insanity. All right, I'll be in the whirlpool.

If the sphere ride was a little smoother, his cores would be in the

Tired of being the only quarterback?

Well, I gotta admit, I wouldn't mind sitting out the fourth quarter once in a

while. Well, I have been working on some new software programs. They might help,

but to test it, we'd have to power up element 115.

With Frank in the sphere?

The simulator doesn't behave enough like it to give me accurate telemetry.

Well, if it will give us an extra chrononaut.

Sure. Let's try it.

Yeah. Just can't wait to improve upon the original, can you?

Whatever I can do to help.

Okay, kids, this is it. The electrical layout for Never Never Land.

The power runs off a series of tag team underground generators.

The main line for this sector is located 14 inches outside the perimeter fence

here.

Thanks to a little mess up by the fence builder.

Which happens to be your pop.

Yeah, well, that's what got us in, okay?

And they got cameras watching every inch of this place.

So, Sarah, you're going to have to take the van up to the gate here and do your

little lost girl thing long enough for me to cut the power.

That should cut out about a half mile of this area.

Which hopefully will buy Steve and me enough time to get into one of the

buildings with our cameras.

Right, and you meet us back here with the uplink, and it's showtime.

Just be careful, okay?

Remember, the camcorders are best defense.

Unless they shoot us.

We are about to make history.

Make sure you don't want to wear your suit and helmet.

What for?

Not like I'm going anywhere, right?

This man is hard -headed.

There's only one road out this way, Miss.

And you're on it. Just turn around.

Get back on the main road.

This program will let me create virtual cosine waves that should counteract the

power spikes during a backstep.

In other words, new shocks and struts.

Well, technically, it's more of a hooter. I get it.

I'll get the reactor up to capacity. Just hold the needle steady.

Yeah, whatever.

Something wrong, Miss?

No.

No, I mean, um, I'm... I'm hungry.

Is there a snack bar in there?

Afraid not.

Now you really have to leave.

Stop!

I'm with America Revealed, and this signal is being patched directly onto

Internet, so whatever you do or say, the whole world is watching right now.

Miss, get out of the car right now. The only thing that's going to happen right

now. is you're going to show us some aliens.

Uh, we've got a code orange, gate 19.

Ramsey here.

Mr. Ramsey, please report to gate 19 for a code orange.

Orange? Damn crap.

Okay, Frank, we're at 80%. Sensors aren't reporting any big bumps so far.

Uh -huh.

Any chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Excuse me, young lady. What do you think you're doing?

The American people demand full access.

This facility is funded with our tax dollars. Oh, don't you mean your mommy

daddy's tax dollars?

We have every right to know whatever it is you're hiding.

Yeah? You ever heard of national security?

You ever heard of freedom of the press?

Okay, reactor at 90%. Just a few more seconds.

Well, I'll tell you what. Why don't you just move to Kosovo? We'll see how free

you feel over there.

Our viewers demand to know what's really going on here. Oh, so are we being

broadcast right now?

Smile. Oh, great.

Well, let me just say to your viewers that we appreciate the public's interest

in our little homestead, but you've got it all wrong. There's nothing going on

here except for the testing of some experimental aircraft.

Alien aircraft?

Kid, you watch way too much TV.

All right, we're at 98%. Just keep those needles steady.

We have the F -14.

Now, that has a wingspan of 61 feet 10 inches.

And there's also the SR -71.

Now that.

We also test a variety of other ones here. What the hell?

Felt that.

Parker, but I'm damn well going to find out.

Find out what caused the power surge, and I mean now!

Yes, sir.

I

don't

know how you managed to sabotage this test.

But I know damn well you did.

What? You just can't stand the idea of another chrononaut, can you, Mark?

Especially me.

Oh.

Oh.

Okay.

You almost had me there. I don't know how you guys got this together so

You think this is a joke?

Yeah, you got me.

Very nice. I like the scarf. Nice touch.

You will address me as Admiral Donovan, or I will have you shot.

Admiral, first.

Take it.

Battalion leaders, stand by.

What is this?

She was with the rebels at the gate, sir.

Two others got away. They're the ones that cut the power.

So this is the best the Resistance can do?

Just walk right up to my front door.

I didn't know you had a back door.

Sir.

She had this with her.

Broadcast equipment.

Do you have any idea the consequences you could be facing, young lady?

Hmm?

Well, maybe Dr.

Talmadge can get you to tell us what we want to know.

I won't tell you anything, you son of a bitch.

Donovan! What are you doing?

Where is Ramsey?

Ramsey here.

Admiral Donovan needs to see you.

Now.

Tell him I'll be right there.

Oh, man.

Nice outfit, buddy.

Sorry I'm late, sir. What did I miss?

Where were you when our security perimeter was being breached?

In the can, maybe?

You know, if your uncle wasn't on the commission... Yeah, those ifs and buts

will make you nuts.

Take these prisoners back to Dr. Talmage.

Parker, too. Yes, sir.

There's something seriously wrong with that boy.

What would you do to piss him off this time, buddy?

Buddy? Yeah, come on. Get you out of this. What the hell is going on?

Where's Olga?

Don't you shush me. I want to know where Dr.

Fogovich is. And I want to know now. Come on, Frank.

Hey!

That is not funny! Sir, sir, I'll take care of it, sir. I'll take care of it.

Whoa.

New.

Let's be cool and toss back a couple of cones after this is over. Yeah, sure.

Bradley, what the hell's going on here?

Frank.

Admiral Donovan claims you've been damaged in a test. Is that right?

Well, uh... Is anything wrong?

Oh, definitely. But it ain't me, sir.

Tell him to take off her cuffs and get out.

Yes, sir.

Can't you and Donovan ever get along?

Yeah. Guess not.

I said get out.

Oh, me too. Yes! Oh, sorry.

Just have a seat while I deal with this silly girl, then we'll have a talk.

Sure.

Look at me.

What's your name?

How old are you?

Sixteen.

Seventeen.

You're young and beautiful.

Why get mixed up in something so pointless?

Now, just tell me, where are your rebel friends?

we studied these Roswell devices, looking for some way to activate them.

And then one day we stumbled on it.

The trigger is here.

They focus thought waves.

They are facilitators of my intent.

Now, again, where is the rebel base?

Eat me.

Frank, I'm on your side, remember? Take your hand off me.

I don't know what the hell is going on here, but I'm going to put a stop to

this.

They also have their more primitive uses.

It's a simple video link to an internet website.

I guess Dr.

Vukovic thinks by telling people about Backstep...

She could sway popular opinion. Yeah, well, then she's a fool.

Because if she was successful with one of her stupid schemes, we'd just go back

and undo it. Just as we've been doing all along.

How's Commander Parker?

Damned if I know.

Mr. Owsley, what's your opinion?

Well, the power surge hit while we were running our test.

After that, his behavior became erratic.

I think we may have finally fried him mentally, sir.

And that would leave us minus a chrononaut, wouldn't it?

And you feel you're ready?

Yes, I am.

Ah, yes, definitely, sir.

Well, I'll need a set of half -decent test scores to show the commission.

And Mr. Owsley?

Yes, sir?

No more unauthorized screwing around, even if it is to help the Admiral here

gain chrononaut status.

If you wish to continue to rise in this organization, you'd better understand

that there's a fine line between bending the rules and treason.

And there are grim alternatives to execution.

I think I can make a distinction, sir.

I'll be more cautious in the future.

You're known for your outbursts, Frank, but never at me.

You know, when you first came into the program as Crononaut No.

9, everybody thought you were cocky, and they were right.

But I saw where it came from.

Oh, yeah?

Where?

From the idea that we could make a real difference in the world out there.

And we did, didn't we?

Everything's changed.

We still have a hell of a lot to do.

How's the girl?

Did you get anything out of her?

We won't. She's going to be executed in the morning. The public loves to see

these traitors punished. They need it to make them feel safe.

Right.

So, you feeling better?

Think you can behave?

Yeah. I, um, I don't know what came over me.

Good.

Let's get you out of here.

Whatever here is.

Scooter.

What? Are you talking to me?

Sorry. Yeah, listen.

That Baxter test last night.

What was it all about anyway?

You don't remember?

Well, I remember it was a rough ride.

Well, you were just trying to smooth it out for Donovan's sake. Then that power

surge hit.

After that, it all went haywire.

Listen.

What if I told you something happened while I was in the sphere?

Something weird.

How weird?

What are the odds on the existence of an alternate universe?

Not a snowball's chance in hell?

That's why they refer to it as a universe?

Mr. Osley!

Let's go with that test.

Yes, sir, Admiral. Increasing intensity.

Fuck.

Something got screwed up during that test.

Yeah, some circuits got fried. Big deal. No, no. Look, I know it's gonna sound

crazy, but you gotta believe me. This is not the same place I left.

More juice!

Yes, sir. 85%. So, what was it like, this place you say you experienced?

Donovan was my best friend.

Yeah. Talmadge was tough, but he was no torturer.

There was no resistance.

Hell, we were the good guy.

So now you're saying we're not the good guy?

Allison, I'm telling you, everything is different.

The people, the politics, left is right, right is wrong, even the writing is

bad. I'm telling you, this whole thing is crazy. Keep it steady, Admiral.

I guess it is possible.

So there could be an alternate universe.

No, not an alternate. If what you say is true, the place you're talking about

doesn't exist anymore.

It got erased?

No, the power surge could have caused the space -time continuum to turn inside

out, like a mirror image of itself.

Theoretically, at least.

Well, you've got to send me back through that mirror. Is that possible? We've

got to straighten things out here.

Is that why you're here, Parker?

Help straighten things out?

How are my scores?

Just made the grade, sir.

Well, I guess that makes you kind of irrelevant, huh, Mr. Barker?

Just think about it.

I thought you'd like to know.

I've been approved as the new chrononaut.

Think you can handle it?

When I'm done with her, you're next.

Oh, yeah?

What does Talmadge have to say about that?

Talmadge doesn't have anything to say about it.

It's already been approved by the commission.

Get away from me. I'm not a damn showgirl. Hold this cigar.

Let's do it.

I'm Bradley Talmage, director of the Nevada Military Facility that you see

behind me. The aircraft tests that we conduct here are of the utmost secrecy,

essential to maintain advantage over foreign threats to our proud nation.

Last night, a member of a radical faction threatened the security of our

installation and was able to briefly cut power.

It's impossible to say what data may have been lost to hostile enemies during

the precious second that our security shield was breached.

I'm sure you and your families can well understand the grave danger we were all

put in.

because of the actions of this terrorist.

It is with the deepest concern for your safety that President Maxwell has

authorized the immediate execution of this coward in the hope that we might

discourage further attack.

May God bless you.

Give me back that cigar.

people.

You shoot her, I shoot him. No more backstepping. You can't hide behind that

forever. Oh, yeah, we'll see about that, Mr. Kronos.

I'm tired.

Find your shot, men.

As soon as you get a clean alley, take him out.

Get in the car!

Wait for me!

Let's go, buddy!

Is he dead?

He doesn't like you, buddy.

Owsley, look him back. See if there's a set of bolt cutters.

Okay.

Sarah, we're gonna need your help on this one. Where exactly is your rebel

Ashland High School.

Where is that? I know.

It's about 30 miles northeast of here.

So

you

lost them.

We still have the tracking chip in Owsley.

Poor bastard doesn't even know he's lowjacked.

Lucky for you.

He committed another little treachery before he departed. We can't decode the

sphere default.

We may not have to backtrack.

Plug it in.

This is the girl's laptop.

Their home page. We track the server to each connecting hub, and we can take

care of the Rebellion One traitor at a time.

Really? And what is that number?

A hit count. The number of people who've logged on to this network.

It seems her PR stunt has succeeded.

The rebel force is gaining strength to dangerous proportions.

So we do need to backstep. So we need Mr. Owsley. Now, do you think, with all

the awesome technology at your disposal, that you could get his scrawny little

ass back in here?

Exactly a local mall down here.

No. Doesn't anyone go to school anymore?

There really had been another reality.

Commission closed down all public schools years ago. Kids are forced to go

military school now.

Leaving that was my first act of resistance.

How about you, Owls?

I went. I didn't like it much, but it kept me in line.

Really? Oh!

Yeah, I used to be a little goofy, if you could believe it.

Kind of undisciplined, directionless.

I don't know.

This way.

put me here.

Oh! Dr. Vukovic, no!

Damn, Olga.

When did you start working out? Are you trying to be funny?

Everyone thinks I'm a comedian today.

Yeah, well, I don't. Huh?

Svetlana? I was expecting you. Oh!

Where are the rest?

The commission isn't going to send one man to take down the rebel base. And

me you think that's arrogant.

You don't want to listen to me, okay? I stopped listening to you a long time

ago.

Or were you too drunk to remember?

Why is it every time we meet you try to jump me?

Svetlana's top.

He saved my life.

I don't believe it.

It's true. They were going to execute her because she wouldn't divulge the

location. Parker rescued her.

They killed Ramsey. They always wanted to kill Ramsey. At least one thing's

familiar. Look, I'm trying to help, okay? She needs medical attention.

Let go of the gun.

Nice place you got here.

Can we turn this all around, Osley, back the way it was?

The way I remember it, anyway.

Theoretically, we could recreate the power surge, but we'd have to make it

to the sphere hangar.

Then let's do it. I can't risk any more of these people's lives for a suicide

assault. Look, where I came from wasn't perfect, but it was a hell of a lot

better than what you guys have here.

We don't have a choice.

Donovan's a chrononaut now. We need to get inside the sphere hangar.

Okay, stop shopping, would you?

Just keep moving.

You want to tell me where the hell you're taking me?

The steam generation plant that once heated this area.

It's abandoned now and the commission doesn't know it still exists.

Shut up.

We're almost there.

wedding reception.

What a hundred... Sorry.

Our officers in D .C. were able to smuggle these blueprints out of N .N .L.

Some top secret stuff you got here.

There's even a couple of tunnels I didn't know about.

Svetlana, I gotta ask.

Whatever happened to Olga?

How do you know about my sister?

Well, she's pretty important where I come from. It's a project backstep, I

Olga, she died when I was 12.

She was always a wild girl.

She was 16. She ended up with a bad crowd.

And you studied hard and went into physics like your mother.

Yes. That's pretty much Olga's story in my world.

Frank. Yeah?

In the other timeline, if it exists, did you know?

Yeah, I did.

What was it like?

You were trouble.

And trouble in this place for Talmadge and the other oppressors.

What about me in this world?

What?

You were a troubled soul and difficult to know.

Nobody knew what side you were on.

Eventually, what this place made you do, it hardened your heart.

What? What are you smiling about?

You were vile.

Wait a second. You and I, we... Oh, man.

Why do I always miss all the good stuff?

You're going to be okay.

What you guys did, cutting the power, it worked.

The rebellion's growing.

And you can count me in.

Andrew Housley, genius physicist, guardian of the sphere.

For the longest time after Lights Out, I would use my secured line to log on to

your website.

I would hear about stolen government data or the assassination of a

official. That was Svetlana and some of the earlier resistance people.

She was my inspiration.

I always wanted to help, but I was on the fast track in the organization.

getting the gold stars.

I was in it for the science. I just tried to forget about the rest of it.

When you guys caused the power surge at NNL, you changed everything.

And long before that, you were changing me.

You take the left tunnel just ahead.

Listen.

Gunfire.

Come on. We gotta move.

I am sorry. I am so sorry.

I don't see Owsley.

We should have been here.

Then we'd be dead, too.

She never got to be a teenager.

Oh, my God. It's the sphere default codes.

Look, it might still be time for her to make it to the prom.

What is Mr. Owsley's condition?

He lost a lot of blood, but he should survive.

Is he conscious?

Not yet.

Let me know the instant he revives.

Let's see now.

What possible motive could you have had for shooting him before you got the

codes?

What are you saying?

I'm saying that your test scores are barely acceptable and time travel is an

unforgiving experience.

Are you suggesting that I'm afraid?

I'm way past suggesting.

Frank Parker never ran away from a mission in his life. Frank Parker just

betrayed you. At least he wasn't a coward.

Nor am I.

And as soon as I get those codes, I am going to backstep and take care of

Vukovic and her rebels.

And never call me a coward again.

What? Just glad we're on the same side in this timeline.

Are you sure you've done this before?

Don't worry, Mr. Parker.

Dry run initiated.

Reactor at 60%. As soon as we get to full power, I'll cut the electricity and

we'll crash.

That sounds encouraging.

Frank, will you do me a favor?

When you get to the other side, will you kiss hold of him?

We bet.

Reactor to 80%, Svetlana.

Svetlana?

The actor 100 % cut power, Svetlana.

Svetlana, cut power.

What's going on?

Where goes that damper, boy?

What's going on?

Svetlana, I'm almost at backstab. We're out of runoff now.

Not good, Andrew. Forget it.

Cutting power.

What the hell?

Parker!

Dude!

Dude? Dude, are you okay?

Dude.

Yeah, it's like man, but newer. But now it's old.

Dude, I love it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We have a lot of fascinating aircraft here. We have the X -40, which has a

wingspan of 61 feet, 10 inches.

Oh, I guess we're done. Well, we cut the power, and about a second later, we're

being pushed into a big black helicopter by about 100 stormtroopers. I got the

security thing down.

Crash.

You're the demon, aren't you?

Buddy? Never mind. I need to talk to these kids for a minute. Why?

Don't be a butthead, okay?

Although I do appreciate that about you, but just stand back for a second.

Sarah. You know me?

Sure. Is that thing on?

Yeah.

Start rolling.

All right.

Cool.

I'm Frank B. Parker.

I'm a test pilot, and I'm appearing from Never Never Land in Nevada.

There are two things you need to remember.

Question everything and understand you're lucky that you can.

Does that mean we get to see the aliens?

Okay, that's enough. You're out of here. What the hell is wrong with you? I'm

trying to help.

Who told you you could come down here? You just look like you're in trouble.

I don't need your help. I like it better when you just don't.

What are you doing?

I'm just going to give you a kiss. What?

Mosfet Lana told me to give you a kiss. Wait.

When did you talk to Svetlana?

Did you see her?

Never mind.

Have you seen my sister, Mr. Parker?

Hey, I'm asking you a direct question. Did you get together? Not that I mind or

anything. I'm just wondering how she is.

Mr. Parker?

And apparently, I was burned.

Like little girl said, there's no place like home.

Still means something, doesn't it?

Yeah. Sometimes we forget.
