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.

It can't be happening. Not to Zack.

Wait just a moment, FX.

This is all my fault.

FX.

FX, I'm talking to you. Get a hold of yourself.

It's not over.

What? I said it's not over yet. I've reconnected some of the biomatrix, and I

personally am keeping his body alive with a neural link.

He's alive?

Technically, no.

There are high levels of death hormone throughout his body, but I'm keeping him

alive for now.

FX, Zack is strong.

There is still cortical activity.

What does that mean?

There is no other brain activity.

The brain stem is dead.

Then what other signal are you picking up?

It could be... FX.

I believe we're seeing Zack's soul.

Oh.

So what can we do about that? Can we bring him back?

Well, tell me, quickly!

I know of no way, unless... Unless what?

We need to reach down and communicate with Zack's soul.

How?

FX, I'm going to try to link your mind to Zack's.

Now, FX, take the green connector and plug it directly into the chutes by a

matrix converter at the transformer.

Which socket?

It doesn't matter.

Anyone that's free.

Done. Now, patch the red connector into my utility panel.

Now what? Then plug the blue connector into the Millennium power supply.

What's next?

I'm going to induce an alpha state in your brain.

Sort of instant hypnosis.

When your brain waves are synchronized, I will try to initiate contact between

you and Zack.

Okay. Wait a minute.

What am I supposed to do now?

Reach him.

Communicate. Bring him back.

I'm ready. Hurry up. FX, you must remain calm.

You will be suspended between life and death.

It will be very dangerous.

Your every response is critical.

I couldn't bear losing you both.

Let's do this.

I saw him. I saw him. But something's wrong. He tried to attack me.

You've got to send me back.

No, FX. I'm sorry. That wasn't Zack you saw.

I'm afraid you never escaped your own consciousness.

What? What you experienced was a lucid dream.

I was only dreaming?

Not a mere dream, FX.

A lucid dream. They can have quite real consequences.

You could have suffered permanent psychological damage.

I don't care. We have to try again.

No. We need someone trained for this sort of thing.

Someone whose mind is disciplined enough to reach Zack on that plane of reality

between life and death.

I want you to bring someone here immediately.

Who?

I mean, they're going to find out Zack is Superforce, and they're going to find

out about you.

I'm not important, and as for Zack, would you rather he be revealed or dead?

Who is it?

I need to speak to Xander Tyler.

Please. It's a matter of life and death.

Amanda Tyler.

Yes.

It's an emergency.

I have a message from E .B. Hungerford.

E .B.? I haven't heard from him.

What's wrong?

Why didn't he come himself?

Because... he's dead.

What?

Yes, he told me to tell you that Project Lazarus succeeded. He said you would

understand.

I do.

He said that? Yes, just please come with me now. We don't have much time.

Hungerford, is that you?

Yes. Are you? I'm in the computer's memory. And I'm as alive as I ever was.

Project Lazarus?

Yes, I cheated death.

And now we must do it again in a more direct way.

Look, whatever you're going to do, just do it quickly, okay?

I'm aware of the risks, Xander.

If you think it's too dangerous... Just dim the lights in your Hungerford and

shut up.

What happened to him?

He was electrocuted.

No, it was an accident.

No, it was all my fault.

FX, you must stop blaming yourself.

Could you just please go in the other room or something?

Let's go into the office and leave her to work. Your anxiety is palpable even

me, FX.

What the hell's going on? What's she doing?

Xander Tyler is a member of the ESPA division of the police force.

What is the ESPA division?

ESPA, derived from the term ESP.

So the police have a division that uses ESP? They keep a very low profile.

It's a collection of some of the best psychics and mental magicians in the

country.

People with a genetic predisposition are culled from the general population and

trained with advanced techniques.

Very interesting, Mr. H.

Xander was an old friend.

She helped me.

She acted as a go -between in my early experiments with transferring my living

mind into this computer.

So she's going to use ESP to read Zack's mind?

How will that help?

She's going to project her own mind into Zack's.

I didn't know psychics could do that.

Most can't. And those that can, rarely do.

I don't blame them.

Especially after what happened to me. It's far more dangerous than what

to you, FX.

When a person leaves their body and implants their mind into someone else's,

they risk disassociation.

At best, it could mean permanent insanity.

At worst?

Death.

So she's risking her life to save Zax?

That's the kind of woman she is.

one out there.

Don't interfere. You could make things worse. Let her handle it.

Who are you?

I've come to take you back.

I've come to take you home.

That's my home.

Isn't it beautiful?

It hurts you?

It's so beautiful.

How can it hurt you?

Because I'm alive, Zach.

Is that the pain that I feel pulling at me?

My life?

Yes. Feel it for a second, Zach.

What are you doing?

What's the matter? You were in trouble.

I was helping you.

Then you want to live.

Because I helped you?

To help people is part of life.

Once you cross that gateway, the concerns of life are no longer yours.

not ready to cross over yet.

I told you, life hurts.

Why should I face that pain?

Because there are so many people who still need your help.

That's why I was just standing there?

That's why I didn't cross over?

Yes. It'll always be there for us, Zach.

Come back with me now.

I'm afraid.

I'm with you.

It's going to hurt.

I'm with you.

You all right? Yeah.

Welcome back, Zack.

I thought I was dead. I had this dream that I met this angel.

It's her.

Zack, meet Sam and Tyler.

Thank you.

It wasn't a dream.

No. I went inside your mind and made you back.

Back from where?

It was an accident.

I'm sorry.

Must have made a mistake in the wiring.

You tried on the helmet and it shorted out.

Zack, you were dead.

No effects. You didn't do anything wrong.

This was no accident. Check it out.

What are you talking about?

The failure of this helmet was intentional.

It was sabotage.

Part of a plan.

How do you know?

I don't know how I know. I just know.

And I'm going to sit down right now. Be careful.

You've been through a lot.

Xander, could I speak with you?

I'll be all right.

What was Zach talking about?

After the near -death experience, many people can temporarily manifest unusual

behavior. So he's just a little paranoid right now?

But he seems so sure.

Zack's going to be all right.

But Xander, you now possess knowledge which must be kept secret.

You're a computer.

And Zack Stone is Super Force.

Precisely. You must forget that you know this.

I can't forget it. But I can promise you.

that no one else will ever know.

Your secrets are safe with me.

I'm still your friend, EB.

Look.

If you're worried about me knowing who you are, don't be.

I've had a lot of training in controlling my thoughts.

You can trust me with your secret.

So you know I'm safer for us.

Big deal.

That's all I did to inquire.

Maybe you should get something to eat. I'm not hungry.

I just thought that... I'm not hungry.

I'm not happy. I'm not sad.

I'm not anything.

Listen to me back.

You've had a near -death experience.

The dopamine and serotonin levels in your brain are going to be fluctuating

wildly for about a week.

You're going to go from being euphoric to depressed, from trusting to paranoid.

You're going to have to take it easy and be careful.

I'm sorry.

Please sit down.

Look, I know that you risked your life to save me.

I don't know how you did it. It was an amazing thing.

I can't tell you.

I'm beyond grateful.

It's just that the way things seem now, something's different.

Of course.

You'll experience a degree of confusion. That's just it. See, I'm not confused.

Everything's very clear.

I see patterns and meaning, life, my life, everything that's happened to me.

see distinctly every event that has led me to be right here at the table with

you.

Mr. H?

Can you give me some help checking out these components?

Mr. H?

I'm sorry, FX. I was preoccupied.

This is astounding.

What is?

Well, I'm hesitant to bring it up, lest you think I'm going crazy.

That's impossible.

Your hard wiring won't allow that.

Good. Because as strange as it seems, I can still sense Zack's presence inside

me.

What are you talking about?

If you recall, I maintained a neural link to Zack for several hours

his ordeal. I kept his body alive.

It would seem that this communication persists.

Wait a minute.

You're still hooked up to Zack?

It would appear so, in some indescribable, inchoate way.

A phantom neural link.

Pretty interesting person.

I had a weird thinking about you.

Someday I'd like to get inside yours.

It didn't come out the way I meant it.

I warned you.

Be careful.

You hurt?

No, I'm okay.

I didn't even see it coming.

Yeah, neither did I.

Maybe precognition.

No, no, I did see it. I saw it's exhaust or something.

Right through that building.

E .B. Zack, we have to talk.

Zack, you were right about the helmet. It was sabotaged.

Someone's trying to kill you.

Someone who knows your super force.
