REMBRANDT:
Oh. Oh, that's it.

Oh. Lower.
A little lower.

Now a little
to the right.

Oh.

It's a crying shame
we're gonna have to
leave this place.

No Kromaggs,
no bad cops.

A world where good tans
and massages
are compulsory. Thank you.

All right, this is really
just an inversion of
the Lorentz transformation.

You see,
X prime equals
X minus UT.

I still can't quite
grasp the geometry
of space-time.

Be patient, bro.
You gotta give yourself
space and time.

Okay, what do you say
you geniuses
take a little break

and get the kinks out, huh?

I think you're loose enough
for the rest of us.

Two minutes and thirty,
people. Everybody
out of the pool.

Oh, no.
REMBRANDT: Oh, man!

So what do you think
it's gonna be this time?

Polar ice world?
Talking dog world?

For once, people,
I can tell you.

We are going home.

What?

You're kidding.

I thought you said
the data from the micro-dots
your parents gave you

was all scrambled.

You see, I thought
Colin's micro-dot was damaged.

Turns out it was
designed that way
to keep other folks

from accessing
the coordinates.

Other folks?
You mean the Kromaggs.

Yeah. But I found a hidden
de-encryption program keyed
to our specific DNA.

There she is.

I tell you, finding out
how they beat the Maggs

is gonna be worth
the whole price
of admission.

Home to see
the parents, huh?

Our parents.
You like the sound
of that, bro?

Yes.

Well, then,
you have
the honors.

(WHOOSHING)

(SCREAMING)

Oh, God.

(COUGHING)

This isn't quite
what I expected.

Hello! Hey!

Where's the
welcome wagon?

Yeah, let's just
find the exit.

The air's got
a metallic taste,
like it's processed.

That still
doesn't tell us
where we are.

I think we're
a long way
from home.

QUINN: What if
you found a portal
to a parallel universe?

What if you could slide into
a thousand different worlds

where it's the same year
and you're the same person,

but everything else
is different?

And what if you can't
find your way home?

ETHEREAL VOICE:Sliders.

Are you sure you got
the coordinates right?

Positive.

Yeah, well, something
must've gone haywire.

It looks like something
out of Star Trek.
The lost episodes.

Look, the timer takes
us to alternate Earths,
not alien planets.

Yeah, well,
it looks pretty
barren out there.

I mean, if this
is your home world,
where are all the people?

I do not know,
all right?

Why does everybody
always expect me
to have all the answers?

Because you
usually do.

So if this is
home sweet home,
we stick around,

if not,
we slide out.

How long
do we have on
the universal remote?

Oh, brother.
We got a problem.

The timer's not
counting down.

What's wrong
with it?

You don't know.

Yes, that's right.
I don't know.

MAN: Excuse me.
Over here, please.

This way.

There's nothing
to be afraid of.

Colin, it's our...
Father.

I know this may be
disorienting for some of you,
as you were no doubt trying

to get to my world.

But instead,
you've been shunted here
by the slidecage mechanism.

Slidecage?

You see,
following the recent
human-Kromagg war,

we have
driven the enemy
from our world

and cloaked it so that
they may not return
by the same means.

And we therefore cannot
return you, as that
would pose a security risk.

If you are a friend
rather than an enemy,
I am truly sorry.

All your needs
will be provided for,

food and air and shelter.

You must not tamper with
the dispensing machines.

If you attempt to venture
outside, the toxic atmosphere
will kill you.

Aside from these
two strictures,

you're free to live
by the rules that you create.

Please, make
the best of this world.

It is now your world,

for the rest of your lives.

For the rest of our lives?

It's a perfect
protection system.

Keep the Kromaggs
from invading.

Try and slide there,
and you get caught
here instead.

They must have
some sort of dampening field
to render this inoperable.

Wait a minute.
You're saying that

we've wandered into
some kind of
roach motel for sliders?

But why would our parents
cloak their world and
not come get us?

They didn't know.

I was hidden from them,
and you were lost,
your foster parents dead.

That's just great.
We're not even in this war
and we're POWs.

No. No, there's gotta
be a way out of this.

Right, Quinn? There's
always a way out.

Okay, okay. We'll do
what we always do,
beat the odds. Okay?

Come on.

Yeah.
Yeah, fine.

Do you guys
hear that?

(ANGRY SHOUTING)

All right.
We need to see
what the rules are first.

Okay,
now we know.

No, come back!
Remmy!
Remmy!

Remmy!

Remmy!

MAGGIE: Remmy!

WOMAN: Hey! Wait for us!

Well,
what the hell
were they?

They were Kromaggs.

Let's go follow
the humans.

What makes you think
the humans
will help us?

I don't know,
but at least
they're human.

MAGGIE: Hey. Hey!

QUINN: Hey, hold it!

Hey!

We're friends!

We're friends!

Friends?
I know my friends.
You, I don't know.

JANIE: Hold it, Luther.

Let them go.

Well, no reason
to start off on
the wrong foot.

We're all humans,
after all.

Now, we don't have
many rules here,

but the ones that we do have
you're going to have to
live by

QUINN: I'm sorry.
to survive.

If you heard about
that little fight,

then you must have heard
that one of our friends
got captured.

He's gone,

or will be before
the night's out.

You're going to
have to forget him.

Well, we're not
about to do that.

I understand your feelings,
but you don't know
where you are.

We are all that's left
of over 200.

We were all away
from the home world
during the war.

Some didn't hear about
the cage being built,

some took
too long
to get back.

Whatever the reason,
we're here.

We keep on the run
so the Kromaggs
can't find us.

Won't you help us?
Believe me,
I'm trying to.

Okay, now, my brother
and I are from
the home world.

But we really
don't remember it,
because during the war

our parents put us
on other worlds.

And we don't want
to make them...
Save your breath, Quinn.

Look, I may be new here,

but I've seen enough
bad COs in my day
to recognize the breed.

And you, someone
who's helped you has
just been hung out to dry,

how does that
make you feel?

Maybe she
has a point, Janie.

Maybe we should...
Out. Now!

All right.
Airlock.

What the hell's
an airlock?

We'll do what you say!

Quinn!
Don't do this!
She's got a temper!

JANIE: Vent it.
Wait!

No! Let him go!
Maggie!

Maggie!

Lock him down.
Computer room.

I'm not leaving
my brother!

We're not going
to hurt your brother.

Come on.
Come on, now.

That's it.

Maggie?
She's probably
dead by now.

Don't give me that.
You murdered her.

She wouldn't have made it
here, and she would have
taken some of us with her.

You don't even know her.

Turn that hate
where it belongs,
on the Kromaggs.

The Kromaggs?
The Kromaggs?

I hope you burn in hell.

This is hell,
or didn't you notice?

The mainframe
that runs this place
is sealed up tight.

We can't get into it.

We can't do a damn thing.
And most of all,
we can't leave.

No one takes
prisoners here.

We get a Magg,
we open him up,
we leave him for the others.

I do what
I do to keep
these people alive.

Lock him up
with his brother.

(GROANS)

REMBRANDT:
Let go of me, man!
Let go! I can walk!

KOLITAR: You humans
are so loud, even when
you're not in pain.

I haven't seen you.

Well, I wish
I could say the same,

but everywhere I go,
there you maggots are.

Is he alone?

No, I had
my group with me.

Group?

Yeah, you know.
Bass, drums, keyboards.

I couldn't bring
my back-up singers
on this tour, though.

The Brownettes.

You're gonna have to
go the limit with me.

I've already
spent time
in Kromagg hell.

What about your companions?
The rest of the humans?

Where do they camp now?

Do you know the difference
between a human brain
and a Kromagg brain?

A human brain
is blood and tissue.

A Kromagg brain
is a knife.

(GROANING)

Your friends.

A woman, two men.

Something special
about the men.

Especially one of them.

You're sure he's going to
find a way out of here.

Something else there, hidden,

buried, deep.

A secret.

A Kromagg secret!

What?

Open to me!

Is he dead, Father?

No, merely unconscious.

There's a wall in his mind,
but I will break it.

I must rest now.

Chain him.

Do you remember
I told you about
the snake in the garden

and how the humans
despised it and
tried to kill it?

They hate anything
that is not like them.

You're not to
speak with him.

Do you understand me?

I can see why this
is a perfect prison for us.

I can't get any
of this stuff to work.

Beat the odds,
right?

That's what I told her.
Just like always, Quinn.

On my world,

we know death well.

Many families
lost a parent,
a child, or both.

The influenza carried off
my foster mother and father.

At first,
I didn't want to live.

Why did it take them
and not me?

I read somewhere that death
is a natural part of life.

You can't change it,
you can't avoid it.

All you can do
is remember those
you've lost

and live for the ones
that are still here.

Okay. Okay, man.

I'll see if we can get
some of this crap to work.

Okay, it's all right,
you're not dead!

I mean, it would be
a pretty sorry afterlife
if it looked like this.

Where am I?
In the walls.

You're confused.

It's only natural,
after what you've
been through.

Pitching you out in
the methane, honestly,

I don't know what
they were thinking.

Thomas. Thomas Beecham.

Maggie Beckett.

Maggie?

I would've figured you
for a Betty,
or maybe a Lola,

when I saw you
in the corridor
with your friends.

Where are my friends?

Easy.

Easy, easy. Take it easy.
You're not up to
anything yet.

That's it. Just relax.

You're a guest.

Matter of fact,
you're the first.

I'm a bit of a stay-at-home,
but when I saw what was
happening to you, I...

Well, what's
done is done.
You rest now.

Thank you.

I'm not allowed
to talk to you.

Everyone's out
foraging, you know.

Except for the guards,
and they're not even
watching us.

You wouldn't happen to have
keys to these locks on you,
would you?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

You know, I've never
been this close to
a human being before.

I mean, not a whole one.

Enjoy the show.

Oh, man, my head.
It's killing me.

Oh, I can fix that.

I mean, I can go
inside your mind.

It took me a long time...
You stay out of my head!

Well, I can, you know.
I had enough of that today.

My father taught me.

Why do you wear that thing
across your face like that?

Because
I'm a mutation.

I'm hideous.

We don't have
any looking glasses,
but my father told me.

Yeah, that's nice of him.

Oh, man!

REMBRANDT: When
my mother dressed me
for kindergarten,

I never thought
I'd end up here.

Tell me about
your mother.

Why?

Because I never had
a mother.

So where do I start?

At the beginning.

Made it myself,
so I could
explore outside.

Good thing, too,
or I wouldn't have been able
to get to you.

You're looking
worlds better.

I'm still a little
unsteady on my pins.

Oh, naturally.
To be expected.

(BELL DINGS)

Hey, presto!
I cooked something.

Actually, it comes out
of a hole in the wall,

so it's more accurate
to say I extruded it.

I didn't know what you'd like,
so I ordered up a choice.

Artificial ham,
artificial turkey.

Actually, it all
tastes like
artificial chicken.

But it does
grow on you.

So, how did you land here?
I assume you were off-world.

I was traveling
with my friends.

It's a little complicated.

Well, complicated is good.
It makes for a long story.

And time we have
in abundance.

So what about you?

How did you end up here?

Oh, various and
sundry this and thats.
Not really important.

How long have you
been here?

In the walls?
Oh, not long.
Ten years.

Ten years?

Well, it's not as bad
as it sounds. Really.

I always loved tunnels
and corridors.

Remember that TV show,
Beauty and the Beast,

not the Disney one,
the other one?

God, I loved that.

Oh, I see you noticed
my home entertainment center.

I set this up
to keep an eye
on things.

I must say, the designers
built this place with
room to spare.

73 disparate levels,
2,300 tunnels.

It's a wonder a soul
ever finds anyone.

The Kromaggs hunker down here,
while the humans
are fairly nomadic.

They're making their digs
in this vicinity nowadays.

Yes, sir, lots
of elbow room.

Generally,
from eight to twelve
I watch the humans,

from twelve to four
the Kromaggs.

It's quite diverting.

I have my favorite characters.

We could use these
to find my friends.

Well, yes,
theoretically.

But I wouldn't recommend it.

Some of the things
you might see... You're not
up to much excitement yet.

Thomas, it matters.

Please.

(BEEPING)

Okay, it's just as I hoped.

The same de-encryption
string our father hid
in the micro-dots

he planted here.

He surmised
we might come
this way.

And he gave us a key.

Can we turn off
the Slidecage mechanism?

Not from here.
It's on a separate grid.

So first,
we've got to find
a way out.

Okay, there's a venting duct
that comes in here.

Over there.

All right,
I can override
this locking code.

Only hitch is that there's
a stretch of it that's open
to the outside atmosphere.

How long of a stretch?

Just a few hundred feet.

We'll hold our breath.

COLIN: I can't make it.

QUINN: Hold on, hold on.
We're almost there.

(COUGHING)

Come on!

(COUGHING AND CHOKING)

(COUGHING)

(GASPING)

I feel like
I've just been through

the longest car exhaust
in the world.

Let's go find Remmy.

(GROANING)

Freaking Kromaggs.

Get away from me.

It hurts!

You are not
speaking of us.

They did something to you
in the camps.

Implanted something
in your mind.

You are to kill someone.

Who? Why?

(EXCLAIMS IN FRUSTRATION)

Twenty minutes,
and then wake him
and we start again.

I will have this.

You know,
you're gonna get
eyestrain that way.

Here.
I made it myself.

Shh.
I'm a positive
fiend at checkers.

Please.

Oh.

How about a good book?

I had it
in my back pocket
when I arrived.

Or I could
recite it for you.

There they are.
Do you recognize it?

Do you know where
it is, Thomas?

Well, I...
It's...
Thomas?

It's a corridor nearby.

Show me the way.
No, that's not such
a good idea, really.

What are you talking about?

It would be much better
if we just stayed here.
Safer, trust me.

They're my friends.
I have to go find them.

Really bad things
happen out there!
You only had a taste.

This is
a controlled environment.

No one knows about it,
no one comes here.

We can live
out our lives.

No. No.

Thomas, I appreciate
your kindness,

but I have
no intention
of staying here.

Now, I'm going to my friends,
whether you come with me
or not.

I'd rather you
come with me.

No, no, no, no.
No, no, that's out!
I don't talk to people!

You talked to me.

You were different.

So many have died here.
I couldn't let you
be another one.

Want to know
why I'm here,
in the walls?

During the war,
I was assigned off-world.
Eighth Armored Division.

It got so bad.
I cracked. Ran off.

When I came back,
they were all dead.

All my friends.

Nothing but blood and meat.

I lost it. Wandered
for months, years.

Finally, I wanted
to come home,
but it was too late.

So I landed here.

It only seems right.

I should have
been with them.

Thomas, you couldn't
save your friends.

But you can
save mine.

Please.

The Kromaggs took
Remmy right through there.

I've still got
this funny feeling

that Maggie's
looking down on us.

At the end of our road,
they say that you
are reunited...

Shh.

MAGGIE: Quinn!

Maggie!
MAN: There they are!
Come on!

In here!

Maggie...
Get in, quick!

MAGGIE:
Hey, let go of him!

(ANGRY SHOUTING)

Get off of me!

We're human!

Thomas, I'm so sorry.

If you had brought
the Kromaggs down on us,

I'd have chased you to hell
and gone and killed you all.

Yeah, well,
we're not so easy
to kill.

Nobody's gonna kill anybody.

That's not up to you.

Now, listen to me.

We've got something you need.

Aren't you a little curious
about how we got out of
that room?

Where's the mechanism
that runs the Slidecage?

In Kromagg territory.

I was hoping
you'd say that.

(GROANS)

My head feels
like a butcher's
gone to work.

There's not gonna be much left
if he keeps it up.

Quickly, while
no one's looking.
Go!

Why don't you come with me?

No, I can't,
because the humans
will kill me.

My father told me so,
all right? Go, go.

All right.

But there's something
I'm gonna have
to do first.

No, no!
Oh, no!

My God.

No! I told you
I was hideous!

I'm hideous!

My God,
you are not hideous.

You're beautiful.
You are human.

You understand?

You're human.

Come on.

Come on. Trust me.

Kaldeen, no!

Stop them!

Go ahead.
Go, go, go!

(GROANING)

Stop!

Kill him.

Come on, come on!

Kaldeen, cover yourself.

I will think
how to deal
with you.

Take him to his room.

How could you do it?

He's your own son.

Wait a minute, you got him
in some kind of raid,
didn't you?

My own son was killed,
and there was no hope
of having another.

Something about this
place prevents it.

So I took this one.

Everyone is
a bit mad here.

Some more than a bit.

And no one
ever told him
he was human.

They were forbidden.

Enough of this!

I will have
your secret now,
and then you die.

Who are you to kill?

Who did they order you
to kill? Tell me.

Tell me.

Quinn.

Quinn.

Why would they
want you to kill
your friend?

He's got the key
to the Slidecage.

Go with him to find it.

Soon as he can open it,
kill Quinn before
he can close it.

Rest.

Remember none of this.

What happened?

Quinn!

Do you mind?
I'd like to
keep my hair.

I got to missing
those loud shirts of yours.
How you holding?

Tortured, beat up
and starved.
Same old same old.

Are you a comrade
of this one?
A recent arrival?

My name is Quinn Mallory.

My father built
this prison.

Go on.

I think I can unlock
the Slidecage,

but the equipment
is in your territory.

So I'm suggesting a truce,
and we might all
get out of here.

To the home world?

I can't say that.

An alternate Earth, perhaps.

But I won't know until
I get to the guts
of the machine.

What do you want?

Safe passage.
For him, too.

Agreed.

If you can do what you say.

The kid comes, too,

or all bets are off.

MAGGIE:
What's taking him so long?

We should never have
let him go alone.

I've been watching
the Kromagg show
for many seasons.

Believe me, it's the only
thing that had a chance
of working.

There something
you want to say?

It's a puzzle to me.

You seem to have
a good heart.

You care about
your people.

Yet you commit
such cruelties.

You can't lead
with your heart.

I've only seen a few worlds,
but I can't believe
that's true.

Time to move out.

He's probably
dead now anyway.

QUINN: That's one of your
favorite words, isn't it?

MAGGIE: Quinn and Remmy!
Oh, my God! Remmy!

Didn't think you'd
get rid of this face,
now, did you?

MAGGIE: Oh, thank God!

REMBRANDT: How
the crops hanging,
farm boy?

Crops don't hang,
Rembrandt.

Stay as sweet
as you are, huh?

I thought you'd had it.

We keep thinking that
about each other,
don't we?

Well, you
keep coming back.

Easy now, easy now,
easy now. We're all friends.

Easy, easy.
We're all friends.
It's all good, it's all good.

QUINN: Well,
at least we share
a common interest.

You don't
need the mask.

He's been away
at a Kromagg prison
for about 16 years.

Does he look familiar?

You're Jules Konig.

My mother
and father?

Dead. I'm sorry.

I will show you
the Slidecage.

Come.

I need to talk to you.

What is it?

We can't let
Kromaggs back
on the home world.

They'll be under guard.

And as soon as they get there,
they'll be sent back
to wherever they came from.

Or maybe when we
slide out of here,
they don't.

Safe passage
goes both ways.

And once they take us
where we're going,

you're going to
have to leave
your war behind.

Better hurry up
to the Slidecage.

You don't want to
get left behind.

You will need this.

Careful!

The force field
will kill all
who near it.

Not anymore.

You've gotta learn
to trust me a little more.

Got the Sharks
and the Jets here.
Better get a move on.

QUINN:
People, welcome
to the Slidecage.

(MUTTERING)

There.

REMBRANDT:
Blue skies, green trees.
Won't be long now, buddy.

It's rather close in here,
don't you think?
So many bodies.

You just keep telling yourself
you'll be back with
friends and family.

Actually, that was never
my strong suit.
Thanksgivings were a horror.

The Slidecage mechanism
is disabled and wide open.

Do you think maybe
I could go with you guys?

Because I don't really want
to go with the Kromaggs.

The system is damaged.

If I slide everyone
to the home world,
it'll stay open.

Rembrandt.

The Kromaggs could
just slide in
and invade.

COLIN: Then there's
no going home.

Sorry, bro.
Not this time.

Quinn!

Incredible.

Grab him! I can't
hold him long!

Remmy?

What did you do to him?

It was the Kromagg
prison camp.

Kaldeen!

My name is Jules.

Remmy!

If it's near
the surface,
I can reach it.

Sure you...

Hold it!
Hold it! Hey!

You Kromaggs have
crossed the line
for the last time!

Hold it! Now,
the truce is still on.

And nobody's
going anywhere!
Okay?

Rembrandt, what
happened to you,
let it go.

You owe it
no allegiance.

Let it go.
Rembrandt,
let it go.

MAGGIE: Remmy.

Okay, it's gone.

What did I miss?

Absolutely nothing.

Oh.

Come on.

What did I do, slip?

QUINN: All right,
using the slide signatures
in our bodies,

I've managed to rig up
a feedback burst.

It'll ship all of us
to where we just came from,

and anyone else
who ever tries to
slide to the home world.

So no more Slidecage.

Yep. And the Kromaggs'll still
be kept out.

Hold on, Q-Ball.
What about Jules?
He's from here.

He has no
slide signature.

Well, I can't change
the parameters on this.
The whole system'll crash.

It's okay.

No way.
It's not okay.

What are you saying?
We just maroon him here?

Look, we're not
leaving you here alone.

I've always
been alone,
Rembrandt.

Is there any way
you could let me
out of this party?

You want to stay?

I'm really not up to
Times Square.

You mind
a roommate, kid?

No.

Well, then you fellas
better grab a seat
on the ramp.

Because this is
a pretty narrow field.

Take care.
You, too.

We're coming
back for you.

That's a promise.

All right.

Anybody who wants a ride...

Kromaggs on the right side
of the cage,
humans on the left.

Goodbye, Father.

Goodbye, Jules.

Son.

QUINN: All right,
everybody.

Bon voyage.

So, you ever
played checkers?

Blue skies,
green trees.
Thank you.

We're not home yet.
But there's places
a whole lot worse.

We'll get there, bro.
You can count on it.

I wonder where
everyone else went.

MAGGIE: Well,
wherever they are,

I can't imagine peace between
the humans and the Kromaggs
lasting for very long.

I was programmed
to kill you, Q-Ball.

Something I'll
never get over.

It wasn't you
who tried to kill
my brother.

It was the Kromaggs.

Gotta admit, though,
it was the perfect plan.

Not so perfect.

They didn't count on you
making a friend who'd stop it.

The Maggs could
get in your head, Remmy,

but they can't
get inside your heart.

Yeah.

To Jules.

And Thomas.

And absent friends.
