In all tribal cultures, every village had a sentinel.

Now, a sentinel is chosen because of a genetic advantage.

A sensory awareness that can be developed beyond normal humans.

Your time spent in Peru has got to be connected with what's happening to you

now.

I've got hundreds of documented cases of one or two hyperactive senses, but not

one single subject with all five.

You could be the real thing.

Is it working?

What? On your cold.

These rhythms, they promote better circulation.

Something I picked up from the Mombasa tribe in Kenya. Open up all those

passages. Sort of like sonic antihistamine.

Would you turn it down?

Come on, Jim. Give it a chance.

Give it a rest, please.

Why?

That's okay. It's okay, because I got something else for you.

And it's almost done.

Come on, would you forget it? I'm fine.

You know what? You are amazing. All that crap that you put in your body that you

call food, and you won't take anything for your cold.

I don't believe in chemicals.

No argument from me, but this stuff is not your over -the -counter...

stuff here. I mean, it's all natural.

What's in it? It's a little bit of this, a little bit of that. It doesn't

matter. Any illegal substances?

No, no. Come on. Well, maybe if you're in Zimbabwe. I mean, they have

restrictions on certain U .S. goods.

Look at this. Check this out.

Now, that stuff, that'll clean your sinuses.

Or clean a floor.

Yeah,

this is Captain Banks.

What?

All right.

No, yes, sir. I have the perfect man for the job.

Detective Jim Ellison.

Oh, he's been working with a special consultant to the department, Blair

Sandberg. Is it okay if he comes along?

I understand.

Get right on it.

Rhonda, better hang up your coat. We're going to be staying late tonight.

See if you can find Lieutenant Plummer. Make sure she stays.

And also better see if we can track down Jim Ellison.

Right.

Can't you tell me anything about where we're going?

Sorry, Chief, it's not my call.

Come on.

Did you know that germs have a life of their own?

Not only did you pull me out of bed in the middle of the night, but now you're

going to get me sick?

Here, take a couple of these.

Samberg, seeing a whole new side of you.

Didn't realize you were such a hypochondriac.

You'll be fine.

Well, seeing that I am risking disease tonight.

Can't you tell me what this is all about?

Picking up a package and bringing it back to Cascade.

What type of package requires this much secrecy?

Come on, Jim. Who am I going to tell?

How you guys doing?

Sorry.

Look, I'll give you something here.

The Jinhaka Indians swear by this stuff.

They extract it from the root of the Niktabi plant.

It'll keep you from getting sicker.

You just take a little pinch, and your legs dissolve underneath your tongue.

Thanks, I've had my flu shot.

Those don't always work, you know.

See there?

See?

Take a little bit of this. I'm telling you.

Good. Plane's waiting for you at the airport.

It'll get you to the state line.

After that, the train's making a special stop to pick you up.

Good. Would you mind if I told Sandberg what's going down? Get him off my back a

little bit.

That bad, huh?

Worse.

Well, I'm sorry. You can't tell him anything until you get on board that

Thanks very much for your support.

I don't make the rules.

That's what I keep telling him.

They finally came, huh?

Yeah.

It says in big letters, you are divorced.

Now what?

Hell, man.

I kept expecting this to be a great moment.

I don't know.

All I feel is empty.

It gets better, right?

I'll check with you later on. All right.

Take care of the cool.

Yeah, I'll pass.

Okay,

let's go.

I got to say it, because I'm really beginning to take this personally. It's

because I'm not a real cop, right? Not part of your great fraternal

Okay, you're right.

That's it.

Oh, man.

We're a cult.

Every cop in the state of Washington is required to join this cult.

Actually, we have our secret headquarters under the Masonic Temple on

Street. Get out. Hey, Mike, am I lying?

Of course, you realize that now that we've divulged your secret, we'll be

obliged to kill you.

Thanks for your ride, Mike.

Why can't we take this package back to Cascade by plane?

It can't be. It's a question.

Hey,

wait a minute.

I'm not getting mixed up with anything poisonous or radioactive, am I? I mean,

that's it, right?

The plane crashes, the stuff becomes airborne, gets into the water supply,

people start getting sick, losing fingers, having mutant baby.

I'm right.

Jim, I'm an anthropologist, not a biologist. This is definitely not my

Our package's name is Derek Wilson.

Oregon State Police are handing him over to us.

Supposed to testify against a guy named Edward Murdoch. You heard of him?

Oh, yeah, yeah. He's that real estate guy that went on trial a couple of days

ago. Yeah, he torched one of the hotels and used $20 million in insurance to

help save his other businesses.

17 people died in that fire.

Oh, man.

I'd say this guy's ruined his karma for the next 60 lifetimes. Yeah.

Wilton was his accountant and agreed to testify in exchange for a quick trip

into the witness relocation program after the trial.

Odds are that Murdoch's going to do everything in his power to see that that

doesn't happen.

So that's why all the secrecy. That's right.

Nobody's taking any chances on this one. No, definitely not. Hold that.

For extra security, we're supposed to have the whole car to ourselves.

Oh, great, great, great.

How you doing? Jim Allison, Cascade BD.

How was your trip?

Oh, I wouldn't want to spoil it for you.

It's all yours.

Take care. Thanks.

You got another tissue?

I don't know. It felt like I knew him from some place.

Yeah, me too.

Cascade Zoo.

Primate House.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. Wilson?

Yeah. You guys taking me back?

Yeah. Detective Allison, this is Blair Sandberg.

Never been in this kind of situation before.

Sorry about the train thing.

I have a ruptured eardrum.

If I fly, I get these really terrible migraine headaches.

Hi.

Pleasure.

I've got pills, but they never seem to work.

You don't want to know.

You're right. I don't.

Uh, Junior, please sit next to the gentleman.

Come on.

Sorry about the jewelry, kids, but, uh, these are rules.

Procedure.

You are?

Isabel Kane.

I'm an attorney with the firm representing Mr. Wilson.

Jim.

The boss thought it would be a good idea to have someone along.

It's a party.

Yeah.

There's a problem, Simon.

What's that?

The agent got word from an informant. There's been a leak.

Murdoch's people know about the train and they're planning a hit.

Maybe I can catch Jim before he gets on the train.

The mobile customer you have called is either away from the phone or out of

range.

Cell phone's out of range.

Derek Wilson is going to be a sitting duck unless we can find a way to get in

touch with Jim and fast.

Rhonda. Yeah, give me Metro.

All right, thanks a lot for your help.

We're screwed.

The train has already left the state line.

Well, can we get through to Jim?

Railroad's going to try, but their communication gear doesn't work very

in those mountains.

Cell phone is out of range.

They're going to hold the train at the next scheduled stop.

But that won't be for another four hours.

I don't like this, Simon. Hey, I don't like it either. But at the moment,

there's not much we can do.

That's why I put Jim on the train in the first place.

There's nobody better in a situation like this.

The train makes one stop before it gets to Cascade.

I'm going to get on the horn with the state police.

I want to be there with a welcoming committee.

Meantime, I want you to hold down the fort here.

Also, I know this is a little out of your area, but if you wouldn't mind

rustling me up a chopper.

Right away.

Must be a pain, huh, detective, being dragged out in the middle of the night

like this to ride shotgun.

Especially when you're not feeling well.

That's my job, Miss King.

Yeah, that's our job.

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night will stay these guys from doing

appointed round.

I like the post office bottle.

Well,

I've got to say, you're a lot nicer than those other two guys.

We aimed to please.

You know, the train's a classic.

It was rusting away enough.

warehouse someplace in Wisconsin until somebody had a brainstorm, fixed her up,

and started making this run.

In the summer, it's both solid.

You can't even get a coach ticket. I've tried.

I need to speak to you outside.

Jim, come on. Do us all a favor.

I'm fine. It's not going to poison you.

Look, if that stuff's so great, why don't you run it by the FDA and put a

on it? Then I'll give it a try.

What did you drag me out here for?

I'm going to take a walk around. I want to check out the rest of the train.

Something wrong?

I don't know. I just got a strange feeling.

Maybe you're running a fever or something. No, I don't have a fever.

You just hold down the fort to light it back. Well, hey, wait a second. You're

the one with the gun, man.

Well, lock the door.

Well, don't you think we should have some type of secret password or

Secret password?

Yeah, so I know it's you.

All right, well, why don't you say, who is it? And I'll say, Allison.

And then you open the door.

Choppers aren't flying tonight. Too windy.

All right.

Look, it's going to take four hours before that train arrives at the next

I can make it in three if I take the mountain roads.

I'll get them to load me a four -by -four downstairs.

Listen, that road's pretty treacherous, Simon. Be careful.

All right, I will. And tell Jim I, uh... Never mind.

Forget it.

Carolyn.

I'll call you from the road. Let you know how things are going.

Here you go, sir.

This is the non -drowsy formula, right?

Yes, it is.

Thank you.

You bet.

Would you rather I sit someplace else? No.

Don't tell Sandberg.

He's getting claustrophobic in there. And your partner kept staring at my

Sure, it's just a nervous tick.

Right.

Is everything okay?

Couldn't be better.

A cop, a defense attorney.

Would it be unethical for us to be friends?

I don't know.

Might be a conflict of interest, huh?

I arrest the bad guys, and you do everything you can to get them off.

We make for some interesting conversation.

Or we could just end up killing each other.

Detective,

what's wrong?

Are you all right?

Should I call someone?

Jim.

Jim.

Excuse me. I'll be right back.

Jim, it's Simon.

Jim, you there?

Yeah, yeah, I'm here.

Murdoch knows about the train.

There's a bogey on board that's going to try to hit Derek Wilson.

You copy that?

Yeah, yeah, I hear you.

There's some guy on board.

He looks familiar to me. I'm just not sure where I know him from. Maybe he's

one. All right, try not to spook him.

I'm on my way. I'm going to meet you at the next stop with the state police.

Till then, you and Sandberg are going to be on your own.

I'm counting on you, Jim.

Jim, you okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.

How long you all wait?

We have to go back to the compartment.

I'm not feeling very well.

Problem with your eyes, too?

It's the light. Would you just come on?

Three more kills and I win, right?

Uh -huh.

Pathetic.

You know, this game is 5 ,000 years old. It took me months to get good at it.

Are you sure you haven't played before?

Nope.

Maybe we should switch to tic -tac -toe.

What's up with the shades?

Let's go. We got to talk. Come on.

What? Again? Come on.

Right back.

I just got word from Banks.

We're about to put somebody on board. They're planning to take Wilson out. So

what do we do? Stop the train?

No, no, no. It's going to be too dangerous. We don't want to tip him off

know. Banks is meeting us up to lie with the state police.

There's another problem.

My senses have gone completely crazy, and I'm totally out of control. How out

control? I mean, you want a laundry list? Yes.

Every little light blinds me. When somebody flushes the toilet down at the

of the train, it sounds like Niagara Falls in my head. One minute I'm hot,

next minute I'm freezing.

Sounds like menopause. This is not the time for jokes. I'm not.

You've got to help me stop this because I can't do my job this way. All right,

but first things first. Just calm down.

Relax. Okay. Remember, this is all new to me, too.

Let me think.

All right. How's your cold?

My what?

Your symptoms. You're sneezing, you're coughing. Anything?

No, I'm fine. I took some stuff.

What stuff, Jim? What did you take? Some stuff in a bottle that said non -drowsy

formula. You weren't kidding.

Well, that's got to be it. The cold medicine.

Okay, genius. So how do we reverse it? We don't. It's too late. It's already

been rattling around in your blood system. We're just going to have to wait

it to wear off.

How long is that going to be? Like I have a clue.

Oh, man.

What is that?

What is what?

I hope he's number nine.

This is fluid. You clean guns. We'll get him. Okay.

Get the best out of my bag and put it on Wilson.

What's going on, Detective?

Just procedure.

Get up.

What's this all about?

I don't know, Derek.

Folks, please bear with us and be quiet.

Close the blind and move away from the window.

Look, I want to know what's going on here. This is not part of the plan. Sir,

sit down. I won't ask you again.

What's your indicator, Bobby? Who pulled the cord?

Nobody.

Malfunction.

Board's on the fritz again.

I'll talk to you later.

I hope.

Let's move it.

Anybody who comes through that door without my face, you shoot them.

You got it.

SKPD. Thank you, Captain.

Any word yet from the train?

Nothing. The railroad hasn't been able to raise them.

Could mean we have trouble. We don't know yet who's on the train or what

they're carrying, so your men should be ready for anything.

Yes, sir.

He would have said something.

Jim?

Maybe he's hurt.

Oh, man.

I might have to shoot somebody.

Okay.

Derek!

Derek, what are you doing?

Sit.

Sit!

Are you nuts, man?

What the hell happened?

You threw him out the window.

Oh, my God.

You son of a bitch.

Give me your hand. Give me your hand.

Derek. Derek, we got you a really good deal. You were already home free. What

are you doing?

Home free?

You really think I was going to spend the rest of my life cooped up in some

small town pulling a government pension?

Please.

I've skimmed enough for Murdoch to last me two lifetimes.

Anyway, even if they do manage to get a conviction, guys that rich don't stay in

jail for long.

Witness protection?

That means records.

He'd find me and he'd kill me, I guarantee it.

You don't understand.

It's happening now.

Murdoch really does know you're on the train.

Remember, Mr. Sandberg, I'm better at games than you are.

Hey, come on. How else would I know that those guys are outside the door?

Maybe Ellison saw them when he was out there before and figured something was

up. That's impossible.

You all have records he's a detective. Why not?

Because we were careful.

Face it, Derek.

There is somebody on this train who is going to kill you.

If Murdoch can find you in the witness protection program, he can also find you

here, right?

Okay, so what?

I should just fold?

No, no, I've got too much invested for that. Let's go.

Look, if you give this up right now, I'm sure we can cut you a really good deal.

all of you.

You really think the D .A. is going to go for that after Detective Ellison's

little accident?

No.

I closed that door when I stole from Murdoch.

You're making a big mistake, man.

Maybe so.

Anyway, nothing personal.

Enjoy the ride.

Well, you sure had me fooled.

Yeah, enjoying the club and the fox.

I'm definitely not having a good time. Neither rain nor sleep.

Hey, I'm just along for the ride. And as a matter of fact, I may be reevaluating

my whole situation very soon. Why do you think Allison? No, people can fall off

the trains without.

Anyway, this is not your ordinary guy.

Remember, you were born with these senses.

They're a gift passed on to you by your ancestors.

What are we doing here? Oh, it's something very cool.

Made it myself.

Okay, put your chin here.

Put your chin here.

Hey, relax, man.

I've deliberately put your sense of sight on overload.

Don't struggle. See if you can separate from it and just hear the music.

I don't like it.

Fine, then. You're the one with the wacko senses.

You don't want to learn how to control it?

There's no skin off my back, pal.

Good. Now we're talking. One step at a time.

It's all about breathing and concentration.

One step at a time.

Zone out the light.

Concentrate.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's it.

Zone out the light.

It's only music.

Ow!

What are you doing?

My backpack. I'm trying to get my Swiss Army knife.

Why?

It's one of a good luck charm. I got it for my bar mitzvah.

Oh.

To see if we can use it to pick the locks on the cuffs. Well, why didn't you

so?

Let me move closer.

Try it out.

Okay. Can you reach it?

Almost. Not quite.

Oh, wait. Can you reach it?

Come on.

Come on.

Oh, you're... Oh, no.

Oh, wait.

There. This may be really weird, but... Not a chance.

The knife.

Okay?

All right, let me try. I'm taller than you.

Just give me a little vacuum.

Oh, um, yeah, I got it. Oh, great.

Ow.

Uh -oh.

How you doing?

Oh, no.

That's good.

That's real good.

Oh, I'm sorry. Are you okay? Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Thanks.

All right, everybody, this is it. Let's go.

position you don't know what you're doing it isn't safe we're gonna kill

somebody

I'm at the Brackendale Crossing.

I got four men down. I need an ambulance.

Is there a service road that runs along the tracks? Yes, sir. How do I get to

it? It's about three miles north of here where the tracks cross Robinson Road.

Great. Get a copy of the archives. Now I'm getting a car. Follow me.

Roger. Roger.

Take two units and roll the sheet.

Detective Ellison?

Detective. Detective.

Hey, hey, hey, relax, relax.

He's a doctor.

Doctor.

Look, I'm sorry I hit you. I thought you were a train jumper.

Boy, I'm sorry. I apologize. I thought I recognized you from the board,

detective.

Last summer, yeah, at the hospital.

You were having some problems with your hearing. We ran some tests.

Yeah, I'm sorry. It's a small world.

What's going on? We blew through the last stop. There's gunfire everywhere.

Gunfire?

Wait a minute! Wait!

I see a lawsuit.

Jim! You're alive!

Where's Derek? Oh, I don't know, man. This whole thing was a setup from the

start. Those guys are here to help him escape, not kill him.

We're stopping.

What the hell is going on? You stay out of this.

Go, go, go!

Stay with her.

Once it took off, he's on the engine. Let's go.

Go, go, go.

Let me have your gun.

Please do it.

I gave it to Sandberg.

Do what?

I'll explain later. Please, let me have your gun.

Zink.

Here, take it.

We're still right on schedule.

Chopper's supposed to meet us about two miles up the line.

Let's get this beast under control, shall we?

All right, now what?

Pull up next to her. I'm getting... Are you out of your mind?

I'm getting on, sir.

unless you want to risk that locomotive taking out a stray passenger.

I'll try to hold her still.

Go!

You're the one they sent to kill me?

Sorry.

Okay, look.

Whatever he's paying you, I can double it. Or more.

Let's just get with the plan, okay?

Today.

What?

I want the money today.

That's impossible.

I can't. That money is invested. You know that.

Drop your weapon.

I can make you a very rich man.

Oh, thanks.

I'm getting really tired of this.

So am I.

I'll talk to you later.

Hey, you look pretty good for a man who was hanging from a train a couple hours

ago. What are you going to do for an encore?

Leave tall buildings and a single bed. No, no, no. Don't encourage him. Oh, you

were okay, too.

I was?

I don't remember you being there.

What about when I was watching your back? Watching my back? I was pushed out

window. Where were you then?

Oh, oh, and that's my fault? You know, together, you guys have everything that

I've been searching for in a man.

We do? Oh, really?

Now, if I could only find that man.

Nah, she wasn't that great anyway.

Hey, how about some breakfast? Sounds good. Who's buying?

You sign your papers, son?

Move around.

Jim, what was it like when those things started happening with your census?

I don't know. Everything was bigger than usual.

More intense, why?

How intense?

Where are we going with this?

Outstairs at five.

You bet.

And everything seems to be better now?

Seems to be. Damn.

I really wanted to get you back to the lab, see if we could study this.

You know, you could take some more of that cold stuff.

In a controlled environment, of course.

Okay. Under one condition.

You hang underneath the speeding train while I spend the night handcuffed to

Isabel.
