Original subtitles

What's the matter?

You want to go home, don't you?

I would if I were in your place.

Don't worry.

I'm right here.

You think I'm going to hurt you, don't you?

Hurt a 12-year-old boy.

Is that it?

Smart lad.

That hurts, doesn't it?

You'll have to speak up.

Yes, it hurts!

Makes you angry, doesn't it?

Doesn't it?

Yes! Makes you hate?

Yes! Then use that hatred.

You want to be free, don't you?

Then use it.

Use it.

You want the pain to stop?

All you have to do is shoot, Kate.

Shoot, Kate.

In 1564, Nostradamus predicted the destruction of Earth in three terrifying

waves. The first wave is here.

My name is Cade Foster.

These are my journals.

They killed my wife, framed me for murder.

Now I run, but I don't hide.

With the prophecies of Nostradamus as my guide, I seek them.

I hunt them.

I will stop the first wave.

A white room, a guy torturing you, and then you shoot someone?

How long have you been having this charming little nightmare?

Last couple of weeks.

I'm dealing with it.

Right.

That's why you're practically mainlining all that Juan Valdez juice.

You never see who you shoot?

I pull the trigger, then I wake up.

Think it means something?

But what it means is I'm not sleeping, Eddie. It's a dream.

I'm 12 years old.

Twelve.

Twelve.

What? What is it?

It's this quatrain.

It's so obscure, I've never been able to get a handle on it.

Here. When twice three years and twice again find secret skill in darkest hour,

between blessed and cursed a third will come, or worlds consumed in battles

fire.

It's twice three and twice again. It's 12.

Maybe he's referring to you as a 12-year-old.

Even if you're right, it's about 16 years too late, Eddie.

Maybe not.

There's a doctor that works with Raven Nation, Tyler Greer.

He specializes in regression therapy.

What, are you saying I need to shrink?

Regression therapy, man.

He can take you back.

Relive your past.

In my childhood, it wasn't any picnic, Eddie.

Living at once was enough.

Besides, there's nothing there that would help us stop a second wave.

Not according to the quatrain.

Kate, look at yourself.

This thing is eating you up.

Invasion's getting close, brother.

If there's some way we can find this special skill, we can't afford to pass

it up.

Hey, Mom.

Cade.

I... I thought it was Ned.

He doesn't get off till four.

They get more dead again?

Yeah.

Don't you think about him?

I don't remember him.

Besides what you tell me.

And what do I tell you?

That he was a very brave man. That he died so other men could live.

That's right.

He was a hero.

And if you ever want to know what he was like, you just look in any mirror, and

you'll see him looking right back at you.

What's this?

A little trip down memory lane, nobody invites me?

Ned, you're home early. What happened?

I got laid off's what happened.

Hey, it wasn't my damn fault.

Oh, Ned. Ned, he didn't say anything.

He doesn't have to.

Here, give me a cold beer.

No, I'll get it.

I asked her.

She's sick.

You drink too much. You snotty-nosed little son of a bitch. Ned, please.

Kate, go. Go out and play.

Oh, Ned.

He didn't mean it.

Please.

I... I haven't seen you all day.

All right, you go wait in the bedroom.

Go on.

It'll be okay.

You'd love to take a shot at me, wouldn't you, kid?

Be a man for once.

That's what I thought.

Some hero.

Aggression is a powerful tool, Kate.

How do you feel?

Like I just watched my stepfather kick the living hell out of my life all over

again. How do you think I feel?

Kate, you were 12 years old. It wasn't your fault?

Maybe.

Anyhow, Ned and my mother had nothing to do with the nightmare.

We have to ease into this, Kate.

You successfully regressed to the age of 12.

But now, we go deeper. We explore.

I think we've explored enough.

Kate, you have to give it a chance. I gave it a chance.

All I did was relive some memories that I tried my best not to think about for

the last 16 years.

I really don't need this.

It's a hockey shirt.

I made it just for you, Kate.

Just for you.

It makes you angry, doesn't it?

Shoot, Kate!

It makes you hate.

I hate you!

Easy.

Easy, man.

Same nightmare?

Except worse.

Foster, I know how reluctant you are to dig up this stuff from your past, but

you can't go on like this.

What's the matter? How do you think I'm cracking up?

Look, one thing I know for sure,

quatrain or no quatrain, you need help.

Nightmares aren't random, Kate.

They're triggered by traumatic events in our life that we can't face.

I know the theory. I read a few books.

Yeah. I did, too.

Your journals, mostly.

Oh. The Gua, Mabus, Alien Experiments.

It's like trauma's been your middle name.

So what's causing this nightmare?

The answer lies somewhere inside a 12-year-old child.

Can you face that again?

But what choice do I have?

Kate, you're in your apartment.

Your mother is with you.

It's just after your 12th birthday.

Blackhawks.

Blackhawks? At the arena?

Or else you're going to see a playoff game.

Is this for real?

As real as it gets, buddy.

Blackhawks and the Leafs.

Just the three of us.

Things are going to be better from now on, Kate.

What do you say?

You want to go?

We have to go.

Mom, we have to go, Mom.

We have to go.

We have to go.

I got your call.

What's going on?

I'm not sure, but these readings are spiking. You see this wavelength here?

This indicates that he's using his memory creatively.

What do you mean? He's inventing a memory? The mind can create walls, false

memories, to hide some painful truth.

Looks like he's hit one of those walls right now.

Maybe we should take him out.

No, wait.

The readings are stable again.

I think he's through it.

What'd you do?

Nothing.

It just happened.

We have to go.

Kate, you can't come to the hospital with me.

It's just for some tests. I'll be back in two days. I don't want to come back

here. Never.

Not while he's here.

He hurts us. He hurts you.

He's a bastard.

Kate, don't say that.

Ned hasn't been a good father to you. I know that. I wish to God that I could

change things, but I can't.

But right now, I need you to be strong.

We have to stay together. Mom, promise you'll stay until I get back.

Okay.

Okay.

Where do you think you're going, huh?

Give me that! It's mine!

Listen, you little bastard.

Nothing around here is yours, understand?

You're dead weight.

You're a zero.

You're drunk.

Go ahead, old stewie. True.

Yeah, maybe I do drink a little bit too much. So what?

The readings are spiking again.

He said something big.

Another false memory?

Whatever it is, it scared the hell out of him.

This may be it.

The nightmare.

That's him. I know.

Who are they?

He's a doctor, kid.

He's Dr. Rook.

He's the Beaumont?

I'm not that kind of doctor. I'm more of a... scientist, actually.

Well?

Yes.

He'll do nicely.

What's that for?

That's for funds outstanding.

You're going to earn your keep, kid.

What are you doing?

Going to bring a little cash into the family.

Get off of me! Just one day, right? His mom will be back after that. You'll be

quite finished in one day.

Finished what?

Let go!

He did it.

The bastard did it.

Man.

This son of a bitch sold me to them.

Sold you?

To who?

Beguin.

Search 1982 through 86.

There's no record of a Dr. Rook in any university in Chicago.

The U.S., for that matter.

But ask me about the missing kids.

What about the missing kids?

There's a lot of them. All in the Chicago area.

Most showed up after a day or two.

Alive? Well, you can call it that.

They were in and out of mental hospitals.

Some ended up suicides.

None of the kids could remember what happened to them.

Now, wait a second. Are you saying I was one of them?

Yeah, it seems pretty clear to me, Foster.

Makes sense, Eddie. The Guadalini grabbed me two years ago.

There's a hundred kids disappeared at the same time you did, Foster.

All of them 12 years old, all orphans, and all their fathers died in the war.

Gua were running an experiment on children, Cade.

He must have been a subject.

How could I forget something like that?

Maybe you didn't.

Maybe the memories were blocked with some advanced technique.

As lousy as my childhood was, at least it was mine.

Now I find out the Gua were there.

They were in my head even then.

But why?

Look what they want from you.

And whatever it is, it's in the quad train.

That means a second wave, buddy.

Thanks, Eddie.

Put me under again.

We will work you in gradually.

Kate, I'm taking you back before the kidnapping.

You're with Ned.

Who'd you get that?

Fell off a truck. What do you think?

I think you've been stealing again.

Hey, kid.

Do you think you could open it?

How'd you do that?

Find out.

Gentle.

It's like music.

Some people got the feel, some don't.

World's full of secrets, kid.

You got the feel, you can go places, get into things.

It's stuck.

There's no such thing as stuck, kid.

If you hit something, you keep trying. There's always a way.

I'll be damned, kid.

You got the feel.

No stress.

These readings indicate a pleasant memory.

He doesn't have many of those.

Too bad he can't stay there for a while.

We don't have time.

We have to go deeper.

What's the rush?

The sooner we get there, the sooner we find the truth.

And that's what you want, isn't it?

Kate, I'm taking you ahead now.

You sneaky little son of a bitch.

Where'd you get that? That's none of your damn business.

Stole it.

Ned, what's the matter?

If my mom finds out about this, she'll make you leave.

If your mom finds out about this, it'll kill her.

Now you know how sick she is. Do you want to kill her?

Huh? Do you want that?

Ned.

That's okay, hon.

We're just talking about the game.

Isn't that right, kid?

Kate.

Sure.

Sunday's game.

It's okay, Rose.

You go on back to bed now.

Go on now. You get your rest.

Self-righteous little punk.

I earned that money.

How?

Well, it's not how you think.

But if you make a sound, if you tell your mother about this, next

time, it's going to be twice as bad.

You know what to do.

Easy, Kate.

Why'd you take me out? I was getting close.

We didn't.

Every time you approach that target memory, you hit a block.

False memories.

Physical reactions.

They're keeping you from the truth.

There must be a way to get past it.

There's one chance.

We forget putting you in gradually. We try to put you directly into the

suppressed memory.

And bypass any blocks?

In theory, yes.

Kate, we don't know what's waiting for you in there.

It's too risky.

If I don't do it, I'll never know what they did to me.

And that's the worst nightmare of all.

Put me in the weight room.

Let me out of here.

Help, let me out.

Stop it.

Stop it.

You said we bypassed the blocks.

We did.

There must be traps built into the memory itself and the entry triggered

him.

I thought this might happen.

You knew he was entering a minefield?

Why the hell didn't you warn him?

Because he had to go in there.

Foster was right.

There is no choice.

Come on, young man, that's enough horseplay.

I made all your favorites.

Whatever happens, we'll never forget this.

Cade, what is it?

Something's wrong.

Cade, honey, nothing's wrong. It's perfect.

I know, but... How about this didn't happen?

Cade, please, don't ruin this.

No! No, no, this didn't happen!

This didn't happen, no!

No, it's-

You shouldn't see me like this.

Are you going to die?

Not if you leave.

Just leave and I'll get better.

I can't. I have to stay.

Don't do this to me, Kate.

Don't kill me.

I'm sorry.

I can't leave you.

Why do you want to kill me, Cade?

Why?

Why do you want to kill me? Why?

No! No!

No!

Well,

Cade Foster.

Are you ready to begin?

You're no doctor.

I scratched your friend and his blood disappeared by itself.

You're not even a real human.

I'm impressed.

And since you're so perceptive...

Don't you like what you see?

Someone's gonna find me here, and I'll tell them everything about you.

No, you won't.

You'll never even remember any of this.

And if you ever try... Well, let's just say... It would be bad

for your heart.

Oh, good.

He stopped breathing.

Come on, kid. Come on.

There, he's back.

I'm going to get the hell out of there before my heart stops.

Wait, Jordan. He's been through the worst of it.

Just do it.

It's an adrenaline derivative.

The sign is E.

I should bring him out.

Nothing's happening.

I think he's looking deeper.

Do something, Greer. I can't.

We are not in control of this regression, Jordan.

It is not in our hands. Not anymore.

How long until he comes out?

How long?

He may never come out.

Why don't you take me?

What do you want?

There are some impediments to my kind taking over this world.

I believe the greatest of these is a chosen one, named in an ancient

prophecy.

Humanity's savior, the twice-blessed man.

That's nuts! A new savior!

My leaders agree.

They say all humans are weak, that the prophecy itself is meaningless.

So let's prove them wrong, shall we?

Why me?

There must be others.

Many. They'll populate your asylums for years.

You're not going to beat me.

That's just the attitude I'd hoped for.

But chosen one or not, Kate Foster, I will beat you.

Traps? You're saying the Guala is some kind of psychic minefield in Foster's

head? And we put him right into that minefield, Eddie.

You also saved his life.

Great.

He can thank me if he ever wakes up. Eddie, I talked him into this.

Hey, if there's one thing I've learned about Foster, it's that nobody pushes

him around.

Besides, I'm the one who found the quad train. If anyone's to blame, blame me.

I just might take you up on that.

Look, did you check out that adrenaline derivative cytosine?

Yeah, nobody's ever heard of it.

Jordan, how far do you trust Greer?

He's been with the Raven Nation for over a year.

Maybe it's just a paranoid talking, but...

I got a funny feeling about this one.

What kind of feeling?

Scared.

Hurts, doesn't it?

Yes, it hurts.

Makes you angry, doesn't it?

Makes you hate.

You know, I know about your life.

How your father died in the war. He was a hero.

Some hero.

He abandoned you and rose to me.

I drink, I lie, I hurt you.

Worst of all, I hurt your mother.

And you didn't do a damn thing to stop me.

Shut up, she's sick. That cancer? It's gotta hurt like a bitch.

You know, she might live if I paid for the treatment or if you'd done

something. I hate you, I hate you, I hate you!

How much, Kate?

You want the pain to stop?

It's easy.

All you gotta do is shoot.

Shoot!

You know you want to.

Shoot!

No.

I won't kill anyone.

Not for you.

We'll see about that.

Greer, what is that?

Brainwave measurement.

I know that, damn it.

I mean this.

Another brainwave pattern?

How is that possible?

I'm not exactly sure.

It could be an equipment malfunction.

I don't think so.

I think the only malfunction around here is you.

Look, Jordan.

That sinusine doesn't exist, does it?

What did you really give him?

Hypnotic. A sedative.

You put him deeper under?

You traitor.

You son of a bitch!

I did it to save him.

Who are you working for?

Mavis?

Or did Rook send you in here to check on his little experiment?

A follow-up on subject 117?

No, that's not it.

Then what is it?

If I had taken Foster out, it would have disturbed the process.

What process?

You wouldn't understand.

Please.

Please.

You have to trust me.

No.

I don't.

I don't know who they were.

All I know is that they took my boy.

I'm sorry, Ross.

But we know there was no university test conducted on Boyce's age.

My God.

Are you absolutely sure?

I've been following similar cases in the Chicago area for some time.

All Boyce.

All the same age as your Kate.

Similar backgrounds, shall we say.

Please. There must be something you can do. Some way that you can find him.

Believe me, Rose.

Nothing is more important to me than finding your son Nothing

I'll get you some more

coffee

for you you're wondering how you could possibly know this happened after all

you were never here and rose never told you about it you're here because

i'm bending the rules you created this memory for me yes

leaving it for when you most need it and you will need it who are you

Within this memory, I've taken the face most familiar to you.

Yours.

Who are you? What do you want?

You'll learn the answers to these questions soon enough.

When prophecy and fate intersect, I'll be there in my true form.

Now, there's someone else who needs to see you.

I think you know who.

Excuse me.

Were you talking to someone?

We're quite alone, Rose.

Tell me about your son.

Tell me about Cain.

Jordan.

I want Foster to get through this as much as you do. Believe me.

I've seen people crumble under the wall.

Kill their friends.

Their own parents.

How do I know somebody didn't get to you?

Maybe someone did.

But not who or what you think.

No, I don't listen.

Just tell me how to get him out of there.

We can't.

Like I said.

It's out of our hands now.

What's going on here?

I'm not sure, but I think it's a separate entity.

Are you saying someone else is in Foster's brain?

Who? I honestly don't know.

But I do know that a mind is meant to hold only one consciousness.

The council does not approve of your actions.

They want hard data on the human subjects.

Don't they understand I'm offering them more than that? I'm offering them

victory over the humans.

By following a mystical prophecy?

That the fate of all Gua hangs on the existence of one 12-year-old child? Not

any child.

The son of a dead warrior in a great city by the lake.

One who always acts selflessly, who has an instinct for the truth, who will do

what is right for humanity, whatever the cost.

He exists.

Tell the council they will just have to wait a little longer. Tell them

yourself. You're to return with all your research.

The experiment is terminated.

They can't do that. I am so close. This current subject could be the one I'm

after. That's no longer your choice, Rook.

The council will not be defied.

Neither will I.

hey who's there you can't see me just listen all this is just

you can win i can't believe me you're gonna make it through this how because

you know something what what do i know the truth what

truth what truth profound question for a small boy

Shall we find the answer?

What?

She can't hear you.

Wait.

What the hell is this?

Nine years, nine years, and you still moan over the worthless son of a bitch?

Please, I'm not well.

Holy sick!

Don't you think I could have done better than you?

Not in front of Kate.

Why not? Why not? Why shouldn't the little bastard watch?

Professor!

Get out of here, boy!

No!

Leave her alone!

Well, well.

Someone suddenly grow a pair?

Kate, make him stop!

Kate, make him stop!

What did you think, runt?

Did you think you were good enough to protect her?

Stop hurting her!

I'll tell you what.

When I'm finished with you, I'm gonna make her sorry she ever gave birth to

you!

Kate.

Dad?

There's only one way to stop him, Kate.

Kill him.

Shoot! Shoot him, son. It's the only way.

Do it, kid.

What are you waiting for?

It's true, Cade. Oh, you want to?

Shoot, damn it!

He was a very brave man, and he died so other men could live. He was a hero. I'm

your enemy! He's a hero!

No!

You are!

No!

Why?

He was your father.

No, he was a lie.

My father wouldn't have done that.

I beat you, didn't I?

And that means we can beat you all.

You are the one that I've been seeking, Kate Foster.

The one the fate of all Gwar rests on.

But it doesn't matter.

The prophecy ends here.

Because your life ends here.

But I found him.

I found the Chosen One.

And I thank you.

Or something's happening.

He hasn't left.

He's still there. He's still with Foster.

He?

The master.

You knew.

You knew all along who was inside Cade's mind.

I helped him.

Foster could have died.

Not if he is truly the one.

I've been waiting for him.

How could you have known he'd come here?

Have these nightmares?

The master knows.

What is this master?

A light.

A key.

An answer.

Who are you?

Someone you'll meet again.

When a great evil threatens this world, and you're the only one to stop them,

I'll be your guide.

You're not one of us, are you?

It's human army.

No.

But I'm not one of them, either.

You'll remember all of this when the time is near.

A nightmare will signal it's coming.

My God, Kate, where have you been?

I have been worried sick.

Are you sure you're all right?

I'm all right now, Mom.

I'm home.

You're saying this mystery man was you?

What?

It looked like me, but I think that's just because he chose to appear that way

to me.

I think I'm getting a migraine.

He got into your head and set a wake-up call to go off 16 years later.

Well, if he's not human, he's not Gua.

What the hell is he?

I don't know.

Tween blessed and cursed a third will come.

The quad train says he's gonna be there, Eddie.

He said it too.

I believe him.

With some secret skill you're supposed to get in darkest hour.

That'd be one hell of a skill.

Still no sign of Greer. Nothing.

His office is stripped.

I've got operatives out searching for him, but it's like he dropped off the

face of the earth.

Kate, are you alright?

I always felt responsible for my mother's death somehow.

Like I should have saved her.

I thought Ned was some kind of monster.

But he was just a weak man.

He couldn't have saved himself any more than I could have saved Rose.

You guys don't mind. It's been a long day.

I could use some real sleep.

No more nightmares?

Not those ones.

The demons of the past are many, and each of us carries them deep within us.

They shape our lives, make us who and what we are.

They can have the faces of our fathers, our mothers, especially our own selves.

But demons can be laid to rest.

And now I know that the monsters of my childhood were not of my making.

The mysterious stranger who helped me promised new hope in the darkest hour.

Meanwhile, I wonder what new demons the Gua may bring us.

And I wait for the stranger to come again.

um
