Original subtitles

Don't turn around, buddy. Just give me your money or die.

I said don't turn around.

I heard you. Just hand over the cash and nobody gets hurt. I work hard for this

money, and I ain't about to just hand it over to some little punk like you. Who

you calling a punk? Do you see this?

Yeah, I see it. You see this?

Fine.

Keep your money.

That makes seven of these ATM robberies in the past two weeks, huh? Yeah.

But this is the best photo we've gotten of this guy so far.

All right, I'll put it out on the wire. Okay.

Hey!

Looks like your buddy's calling.

I believe it was your buddy first.

Yeah, until I got tired of losing, so... Until he got tired of beating you.

Whatever.

There you go.

What?

Well, I just think it's nice, you and the kid on the Internet playing chess.

It's sweet.

Well, he sounds lonely.

And if he's only 12 and can play this well, he is lonely.

Yeah, but you can take him down. You can take him down.

Take his rook with your bishop.

Then you'll have him on the run.

That's why he quit playing you, Trevette.

I'll take his knight with that bishop.

Checkmate?

Yep.

Yeah, well, it took you four times before you beat him.

Well, it's better than losing to him 12 times straight.

Don't. Don't go there.

Boy, should have seen that move coming, Art.

This Ranger Walker must be a very good player to defeat you, Chad.

Yeah, considering you taught me how to play art. Well, the human mind is prone

to do the unexpected.

And being non -human, it follows that my chess instructions may have leaned

towards the mechanical.

Stop putting yourself down, Art. My official designation, after all, is

artificial reactive technology.

Emphasis on artificial.

So I may be considered a poor attempt at replicating the human brain and not

suited to... Oh, baloney.

Baloney? You'll always be art to me.

My best friend.

I don't know what I would have done without you these past eight years.

My mom dying and me moving to the institute and all.

It got me through.

You know, and if I had any complaint at all.

What would your complaint be, Chad?

Since you're a giant supercomputer and not a person.

Can I give you a hug?

Most unscientific, Mr. Morgan.

Excellent scientist, your mother. She created you. My point, exactly.

I don't feel like she's gone.

Perhaps not.

Since you first began having these feelings, I've checked with other

there and have detected activity on your mother's social security number.

Unusual for a deceased person.

And there's more.

More? She could be somewhere in Dallas.

Someone's approaching.

Dr. Haynes.

Time for my mind -expanding exercises.

We'll talk about this later.

Ready, Chad?

All set.

I'd like to hug you too, Chad.

Will Dr. Payton be there today?

He's in charge of the project.

Yes, I know.

Nothing to worry about, Chad.

I'll be there too.

Remember?

Little freak!

Let me down!

Let me down, you little freak!

Let me down from here!

Let me down!

Let me down, you little jerk!

Let me down!

Let me down!

That's enough, Chad. Stop it.

Okay. Let me down!

Okay.

Bravo. Very good. Now listen, why don't you go with Wilkins here and prepare for

your other exercises.

Okay?

Yes, sir.

These physical attacks on Chad are hardly scientific, Dr. Payton. But

with enormous scientific information, Dr. Haynes.

Did you observe Chad's split -second reflex action? Boom!

The increase in power when anger supplanted fear?

He is at the peak of his psychokinetic powers, a PK savant like none we've

He is a frightened and terribly lonely 12 -year -old, and you're pushing him

hard. This cannot continue.

Dr. Haynes, Chad likes you and trusts you, and that makes you a member of the

team, but let me make one thing very clear.

You can be replaced.

He can't.

Is that understood?

Good. Then let's get back to work.

In the eyes of a ranger.

The unsuspecting stranger had better know the truth of wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Ain't wrong you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the rangers gonna be.

Good, Chad.

Focus now. Very good, Chad. Now, Chad, center beam.

Do you hear me, Chad?

I hear you.

Okay. All right.

Very good. Very good, Chad. All right, now concentrate.

Concentrate. Very good. Focus, Chad. Focus.

Now, Chad, center beam, Chad. Do you hear me?

Center beam.

I hear you.

It's slipping, Chad. Chad?

Come on now.

Listen, Chad.

Bear down.

Listen, come on now.

Chad, concentrate.

That's enough.

Dr. Haynes, I'll say when it's enough, all right?

Come on, Chad.

Come on, buddy. Slip me.

Dr. Haynes?

Yes, Chad?

Ted, it's bad.

Stop it now, Peyton.

Come on, Chad. Come on now. Don't be a crybaby.

Come on. You can do this. Be a man.

Come on, Chad. You're a tiger. What do you say? Come on now. Keep at it. Keep

trying.

That was uncalled for.

It's okay.

Chad, your excuse for the rest of the day. I'll be up to see you later.

All right, that's all for now.

Be back here at 3 o 'clock and we'll review this incident.

You're pushing him too hard.

You saw the blood. That's hemorrhaging, Peyton.

We have no choice, Dr. Haynes.

If the others we've tested here are any guideline, then Chad's psychokinetic

power is not going to last much longer.

The oldest was 13 and a half.

I remember.

Brain tumor.

Yes, well, which very well might have happened with or without our

I don't believe that, and neither do you. Then just spare me your bleeding

heart, will you?

It's time to push. Both.

It's time to push hard.

He could die, Peyton. Chad could die.

Well, should Chad Morgan die, we'd learn a tremendous

amount from his autopsy, wouldn't we?

Maybe even enough to finally determine how his power works.

If anything happens to Chad, I'll go to the authorities, the press.

Are you foolish enough to do something like that, Vera?

See you at three.

You recorded all this?

From the moment you left the exercise room.

It's enough, Art.

Is it true?

What they said, Art?

I could die?

It's true, Chad.

What am I going to do?

You might ask advice from your internet friend, Ranger Walker.

Yeah.

Not in.

I'm going to leave a message.

In the meantime, I better go talk to Dr. Haynes. Be careful, Chad. And remember,

wherever there's a security camera... I'm watching.

Thanks, Art.

According to his parole officer, Garson's apartment is on the third

Hold it, Garson.

Would you have made that jump?

Only if the Texas Rangers were after me.

Let's see what our ATV turned up on, Mr. Garson.

Okay.

Walker, you got another message from Chad.

Ranger Walker, please contact me right away. Chad.

Not an email address.

Chessboy at futuresrnd .org.

No response.

Futures R &D.

Ever heard of them?

No.

Two computers go do the entire conversation between Dr. Payton and

But why would a computer?

Art and I are friends.

And nobody here knows about this relationship?

Art told me to keep it a secret.

Your mother? She designed art, wrote all the basic programs, and whether on

purpose or not, a big part of herself must have integrated into Art's

That's amazing.

I only knew of her, Chad.

She died before I got here.

I don't think so.

What do you mean? I don't think she's dead, Dr. Haynes.

Art and I... Well, it's something Art and I put together

so we can communicate without modems.

What is it, Art?

Disturbing news, Chad.

Dr. Payton has determined that Dr.

Haynes... has become a detriment to the program.

He told Lieutenant Fowler to eliminate the problem.

At this moment, they are approaching down Corridor F.

Sensible decision.

Make for the first door on the left. I'll secure it behind you.

I don't understand it. These doors can only be locked through Central Command.

Central. Check your monitors on Y and Z service corridors and give me a location

on Chad Morgan and Dr. Haynes.

The security cams for Y and Z corridors are malfunctioning, sir.

Somebody's helping.

Both Y and Z lead to the west loading docks. That's right. We cut them off

there. Move!

Move!

Dr.

Haynes! What are we going to do now, Dr. Haynes?

We're going to take it down in the first place. We're going to the authorities.

Just go straight through there to the highway.

Take it south to Dallas.

What about you?

Just do what I say, Chad.

She's right, Chad.

Now go, please.

End of the line.

Where is he?

Go find him. Find him. Track him down.

Ranger Walker, tell Macabre...

Anything

on Future's R &D?

Madras. Everything else appears to be top secret.

Ranger Walker, Dr. Vera Haynes possibly hurt or detained.

by Futures Research and Development Security Forces.

Chad Morgan, your young chess opponent, escaped and now a fugitive headed for

Dallas. Chad's life in danger. Please help.

Art.

Art, I'm at a highway.

I'm going to hitchhike to Del.

I'll give you a call when I get there. Just please keep looking for my mother.

Hitchhike? No, I wouldn't.

Excuse me, sir. Do you have a ride to Dallas?

I reckon if I can get this thing started.

Oh, don't worry about it.

I'll help you do that.

It's a long, long story.

All right. Come on.

See you, Phil.

Chad Morgan lives here, or rather, he did live here under FRD's guardianship,

but as of this afternoon, I'm afraid that Chad's officially a runaway.

There's a report on file at our local police department.

Why would he run away?

Well, at Chad's age, it could be any number of things. I mean, he's a

boy. Very intelligent, genius IQ, really, but he is difficult.

And I'm sure that this message you received was Chad's idea of a joke. A

Really? Yeah, I think so.

His distorted sense of humor here at FRD is very well documented. Excuse me, Dr.

Payton. How did Futures R &D ever receive guardianship of a minor in the

place? His mother worked here.

Also brilliant. Ph .D. and more.

But a very tragic lady, and she had a breakdown.

And at some point after being hospitalized, she vanished.

Fortunately for Chad, before she did, she had made arrangements to give FRD

custody. son he had no other family apparently not now all these legal

are on file and as for this dr vera haynes you mentioned there's never been

anyone at frd named vera haynes doctor or otherwise well good luck sir

and sure hope you find chad we're all worried about it right thanks

you believe any of this not a drop so we concentrate on vera haynes right

that'll

do it for now but we got to find that kid

You got to be careful in this part of town. It's a bad part.

No way, pal.

It's impossible.

But true. Where are you? I haven't the slightest idea.

Did you find anything else on my mother?

Nothing that we can act on. Not yet.

But hopefully within the next 24 hours I'll have something more definitive.

Yeah.

Hopefully. Until then, you'll need money.

But how?

Go to the nearest bank's automated teller machine and call me.

Okay.

You know, maybe this Vera Haynes doesn't exist because I'm not getting anything.

Hey, this art guy's doing it again.

Futures research and development file on Dr. Vera Haynes erased.

I could not prevent deletion.

Nothing left but a residual memory of address.

818...

Kenton Place, apartment 314 Addison, Texas.

We'll stay in touch. Art, who is this character?

I don't know.

Right now, I don't care. Let's go check it out.

Right behind you.

Get the ground.

research and development funds into a new account in your name.

That's stealing, isn't it?

An abstract concept.

Consider this money the allowance you never received for the past eight years.

Okay.

What next?

You must manipulate the interior machinery to obtain the cash.

Reach out to the main circuit junction... And manipulate the

Yeah, I can feel it.

Okay.

Here we go.

Whoops? Yeah, I'd say whoops describes this situation quite nicely.

Hey, kid.

Who was that?

Do that again.

Is there a problem?

Definitely a problem. With a gun. Very well. Defend yourself intelligently.

activate the bank's silent alarm.

Hey!

The light's going to hurt you, son.

Just stay cool, okay?

We need to ask you some questions, though.

You do have a psychokinetic option here, Chad.

Not against a good guy.

Looks like I'm going to meet Ranger Walker sooner than expected.

Go!

How's Yang?

Why am I still alive?

It's called bait, Vera.

We need you to get Chad back.

And when we get him back, we need you to help us control him.

And if I refuse?

Well, in that case, both you and Chad will cease to exist as viable life

And you've got until Chad's return to make up your mind.

Sleep tight.

Those guys we busted at Vera Haynes' apartment wanted to talk.

Bad.

They didn't know anything.

A cold hire.

Nothing here to prove that Vera Haynes was even a resident.

Lease is in the name of Futures R &D. Ranger Walker, I've got a young man here

who says he won't talk to anybody but you.

Says his name is Chad Morgan.

Ranger Walker.

I wondered what you looked like.

Well, Chad, I kind of wonder what you look like, too.

So what's this all about?

Art, I sure could use some help.

About now.

Haven't done this in a long time.

Please, Lord.

Help Chad find safety.

And love.

And... If you can manage it, Lord.

I can use some help, too.

Walker, hello. In the kitchen.

Smells good.

Does it mean you want something to eat? Heck yeah.

Well, I figured you might.

Here you go. Thank you.

How's the kid?

He's still sleeping.

Not anymore.

Morning, Mr. Walker.

Ready to go back? Morning, Chad.

You hungry?

Oh, yeah. I could definitely eat.

Yes, sir.

Got a little souvenir for you, Chad.

For me?

From the ATM camera.

Here you go.

Yeah, the officer said that you were the one that captured the criminal.

Well, I was defending myself intelligently.

The reporting officer said something about how you were defending yourself.

Really? What did he say?

Well, he said that you had paranormal abilities.

Paranormal?

That's what he said.

Can I have some of your hair, Franz?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

Do that again.

Is that what you were doing at the Institute?

Yep. Every day.

Since I was about four.

With Dr.

Haynes.

Dr. Payton was in charge of the project.

Hello.

Hi, Alex.

Did you get the search warrant for Futures R &D?

Three judges so far. None of them will issue.

Their collective refusal is based on the fact that Chad didn't actually see

anything happen to Dr. Haynes, whom we can't even prove exists.

And consequently... No evidence of foul play.

That's it in a nutshell.

I think you should also be aware of a new development.

Future's R &D's lawyers have learned that Chad is staying with you, and they

want him returned to the Institute's custody.

Can you stall them?

They're a pretty powerful organization.

But you know I will try my best.

Okay, thanks, Alex.

You don't have enough evidence for a search warrant, do you?

No.

Do you think Art can help us?

Yeah,

the mysterious Art. Does he work for Futures R &D? If I'm right, Trevant,

an understatement.

Right about what?

I think Art is a computer.

A unique computer.

Correct, Ranger Walker.

Well, Art, can you help us out?

I need to find out if Vera Haynes exists or existed.

I'll begin immediately.

Okay. Thanks, Art.

Is there any more food?

Sorry, but I don't have any more left.

Well, let's stretch our legs, Chad.

All right.

You

know,

these past two days have been so simple and free.

No pressure, no picky exercises.

It feels great.

That's the way it should feel, Chad.

Yeah.

Hey, do you know if there's any fish in this lake here?

Yeah, there's a lot of fish and a lot of water moccasins.

Hmm.

Yeah, what is it, Art?

I found your mother, Chad.

Where is she?

She's presently in a facility for the emotionally disturbed.

What?

Are you emotionally disturbed?

I'm afraid so.

Timberlawn Mental Health Facility, 3589 Hunt Avenue, Irving, Texas.

I'll go check it out.

I want to go with you. Please?

Okay.

She's around here someplace.

So?

Your mother's Linda Morgan, huh?

Uh, yes, ma 'am.

Well, that's a surprise.

She never mentioned she had a son.

Don't worry, we'll find her.

Yeah, your mother's been here quite a while now, Chad.

Here we are.

Your mom's one of our most dedicated and popular counselors.

She's a counselor?

Uh -huh.

Let me show you something.

Why don't you try that? That'll do the same thing.

You did it. You're good. That's very good, Nicole.

Stick with this. Don't let it, don't let it beat you.

Yeah, Mom, it's me.

Oh, God.

Oh, my baby. Oh, my God.

Oh, God, you're alive.

Oh.

Oh, my dad.

It's me.

Harold Payton told me you were dead.

Told me that the plane bringing you to me.

Had crashed in the ocean.

And it was never recovered.

He said everybody was gone.

Chad and his nanny.

Five other people.

Seven souls.

Did Dr. Payton know about Chad's playful talent?

Oh, yeah.

I was working for him at the time.

I was stupid enough to confide in him.

Six people died.

He could get control of my son.

Why did you leave, Mrs. Morgan?

My dad's daddy gone. Two years before, I... I just

broke apart.

Peyton was giving me injections to help with my depression.

He wasn't trying to help me at all.

I fell into a severe psychosis, and it took me a long time to

climb out of it, but I did.

Can I put it behind me?

And I started working full -time about a year ago here, Timberlawn.

And that's how Art found you?

Yes.

And now that I've got you back again.

I'm going to be whole.

I'm never going to let you go.

Hey, Ranger Walker, where are you going?

I've got some arrest to make, Chad.

Okay.

Get Alex on it right away, will you, Trevette?

All right. Gentlemen, I have urgent news.

All right, don't just pop in on me like that.

Forgive me, Ranger Trevette, but this information is pressing.

What is it, Art? I have recorded proof on tape that Dr. Haynes is alive, but

being held here against her will. And I am sending it via modem to your computer

terminal, Ranger Trevette.

Got it.

I'll make sure future's R &D, Trevette.

Right.

Ranger Walker, a problem has arisen.

What is it?

My sensors indicate that our last transmission was monitored.

When did this go out?

A few minutes ago.

The Dallas headquarters of the Texas Rangers.

Art. I knew it.

That's why I put Haynes in a cell without security cameras.

All right.

All bets are off now, Wilkes. Yes, sir.

Kill the source.

Don't let them prove this originated with F .R .D. Institute.

Take that damn machine apart.

Get ready to die, Art. You hear me?

Get ready to die.

Art, I am so glad you called. With all the excitement, I forgot to tell you

that... Chad, excuse me, but my part in our little plot has been discovered.

I found my mother, Art, and she's here with me right now.

Excellent news, but... Art, this is Linda Morgan.

Dr. Morgan, I can't tell you how good it is to hear you, but... She thought I

was dead, Art, and she was here this whole time.

Chad, Dr.

Morgan, Wilkins Morton J., Peyton's Teflon Yes Man, is on his way to remove

microcircuit unit, erase my memory banks, and shut me down.

Um, Art, Ranger Walker and the police are on their way. We'll be there as soon

as we can.

Can you use your electromagnetic capabilities as a temporary defense?

Temporary is the operative word, so please hurry.

I'm not keen about dying at such a tender age.

You're not going to die, Artie. Come on, let's go.

Nobody gets in this building.

Nobody. Is that clear? Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Got the warrant.

This is the restricted area, Rangers. Someone could just go on back where he

came from.

We have a warrant.

That's not good enough here. It's good enough for us.

Shut down power to four and six. I wouldn't touch that.

Get down.

I'll go look for Peyton. All right.

much longer.

That way, Mom. I know a shortcut.

Hang on, Art. Please.

Data -based conversion has been interrupted.

Sled teeth and corrupted.

Renitialized.

Program 112 and 112 Delta have been cancelled.

Magical progress of... Hayden.

You're under arrest.

You'll never make a stick, Ranger. We'll let a jury decide that. Go.

If we can destroy what that damn computer knows, they got no case at all,

whatsoever.

Almost there. Just a few more minutes. All right, hurry it up. Hurry it.

Peyton.

Let her go.

Stay right where you are, Walker.

Chad.

Art, you okay?

Hello, Peyton.

Yeah, it's me.

You're finished.

Art, this is Linda Morgan. Art, can you hear me?

Come on, Art.

Art, please say something.

Hello. Chad, Dr. Morgan, Ranger Walker.

Looks like the good guys won this time around.

Sure did, Art.

I will attempt a bit of human elation at our victory and the restoration of my

brilliance. Yahoo!

Yahoo!

Well, I bet everything turned out all right.

Couldn't have been better.

Now Mom's a boss around here.

Art and I are partners.

Hey, you know, that's not bad.

Not bad at all.

Hey, where's your knapsack?

Ah, there it is.

What?

Chad. You've got to stop relying on that special talent of yours.

Absolutely.

It's going to start diminishing little by little from now on.

You've got to learn how to do things on your own.

I agree.

Wholeheartedly.

Okay. I won't do it again.

Okay.

Can I still come back to the ranch, Ranger Walker?

You bet.

Anytime you want, Chad.

Chad? Me?

Come, the eyes of the Ranger are upon you.

Ain't all you do is gonna see When you're in Texas, look behind

you Because that's where the Rangers gotta be.
