All language subtitles for Tracker - S01E13 - The Miracle

Whoa!

MEL: Why did I make you
watch that movie?

It was very informative.

MEL: Looks like you've
learned a...

- Bit.
- I hope this one's

better than the last.

Wait, wait,
wait, wait.

Thank you, bartender.

My pleasure.

Not bad for
a rookie, Cole.

Yes!

Could use a little
more vodka, though.

Vodka?

Not now,
it's 10:00 in the morning.

Let's keep going.

Try a Lust Rocket
on the rocks.

Lust Rocket on the rocks.
Lust Rocket on the rocks.

Same page
as Sex on the Beach.

What is it with this
lust and sex thing?

They're themes.

They're like
subliminal messages.

People order these drinks

thinking that
they're gonna get lucky.

Do they?

It depends on how many
drinks they order.

[ front door opens ]

Sorry, we're not
open right...

Nestov?

I hate men.
Hate them.

Why are you
dressed like that?

Ask Cole.

I don't know what
he's talking about.

Did you or did you not
ask me to get information

about Zin
no matter what it took?

Well, I didn't ask you
to dress like a woman.

It's called going
undercover, man.

It's called doing my job.

Paying you back
for letting me go free.

Although, right now,
I'm not so sure

I didn't get
the short end of the stick.

Do they really find you
attractive dressed like that?

Yes!

Funny man, here.
Real funny!

I do the grunt work
while you just sit back,

take life forces,
and make funny jokes.

Thank you.

I spent 4 hours at a singles
club because of a tip--

a lame tip, may I add--

that Zin's guys
were gonna be there.

Four hours of guys groping--

hello, up here!

4 hours
of guys groping me,

pinching my a--

my caboose.

Hmm.

I don't know
how you do it.

COLE: Well, try this.

You never know--
you might get lucky.

Oh, that's funny.
Funny again.

[ TV playing ]

Good!

Thank you.

FEMALE REPORTER: According
to eyewitnesses,

the electrocuted teen,
Kevin Forrester,

had not been breathing
for several minutes

when 17-year-old
Jamie Swenson touched his body,

and he miraculously
returned to life.

Even doctors
at nearby Dorset Hospital

say there is
no medical explanation

for how Jamie Swenson
revived Kevin Forrester.

MAN: Thanks, Carol.

We'll have more
on that bizarre story later.

I heard about that on the radio
this morning when I woke up.

You ever notice
how the weirdest things

happen in small towns
where there's--

[ door opens ]

Honey, I feel your pain.
I feel it.

Cole?

MEL: "Town council debates
adding traffic light."

It's got Pulitzer Prize
written all over it.

Take a look at this one.

"Good news
for the Swenson family

of View Mount Road
in Saginaw Falls.

Stunned doctors at
Chicago Children's Hospital

pronounced 17-year-old
Jamie Swenson

in full remission from a tumor
thought to be terminal."

Ah.
Okay, same girl, so?

The article's dated
the 24th.

The doctor pronounced her
fully cured on the 23rd.

Yeah.

That was the day Zin and
the fugitives came to Earth.

[ indistinct chatter ]

Those media people
are jackals.

Yes, but those jackals are
offering thousands of dollars

for an exclusive interview
with Jamie.

Are you sure
about this, Abbie?

Yes, I want Jamie's miracles
to be shared with the world.

I'd hold off on calling it
a miracle just yet.

Yes, but Father,
surely you, of all people,

would have to agree.
I mean, you came all this way.

I just came
to investigate all this.

- What's happened to Jamie is--
- A miracle.

I don't know, Abbie.

Miracles seem to be out of
fashion since Christ's time.

Then why did the archbishop
send you here?

The archbishop didn't send me.

I came on my own.

I don't understand.

To be honest, I wanted
to see for myself

if I could understand
what's happened to Jamie.

If this situation really has
deeper implications or not.

Yes, but she recovered,
and that Kevin boy,

he was brought back to life.

But could these
really be miracles?

All remission from a tumor's
not uncommon,

and as for Kevin Forrester,

the electrocution could
have just been temporary.

Not miracles?

Then how do you
explain that?

She has never had
a lesson in her life.

Now, we have to go. We don't
want to keep Mr. Ravin waiting.

Honey, get ready.

Father, don't worry.

Sheriff Dawson
checked him out for me.

Mr. Ravin
is a respected producer.

I know it's a lot of money,

but sometimes getting
involved in these things,

well, it changes people.

And not always
for the better.

Yes, but I want
a better future for Jamie.

I want her to have
a good education,

not the life that I had.

I understand.

Do you mind
if I tag along?

- As a moral guide?
- [ laughter ]

Something like that.

I like your new car, Mel.
But I'm not used to it yet.

It makes a lot
of different noises.

Yeah, well, I'm getting
used to it real quick.

I still can't believe
I'm driving this thing.

Was it very expensive?

Yeah, but my broker
came through for me.

Remind me to kiss him
the next time I see him.

- [ chuckles ]
- Wait.

There's a lot of
reporters here.

We don't need your face
all over the news.

I can go incognito.

[ Mel chuckles ]

[ indistinct chatter ]

[ reporters shouting
questions ]

Ms. Swenson, do you consider
yourself a miracle worker?

Have you ever healed
anybody before?

[ reporters talking ]

She's over there.

[ indistinct chatter ]

Come on, honey.
Let's go, come on.

What happened?

Did Ms. Swenson
break your fall?

What just happened?

She's Cirronian.

Wait a minute? She's from your
planet and she was in prison?

I thought you guys were
the law-abiding, peaceful ones.

Most Cirronians at SAR-TOP
are convicted

of political crimes,
not violent ones. Come on.

[ police siren ]
Go! Go!

Oh, you're kidding me. I haven't
even turned the car on yet.

Drive away.

- I can't drive away, Cole.
- Why not?

Because a cop
is pulling me over.

Well, maybe I can
talk to him.

Don't worry about it.
I'll deal with it.

[ police radio chatters ]

License and registration,
please?

Uh, what did I do?

Nothing.

I want you to lay off
the Swensons.

They're good people,
Ms. Porter.

They just want their privacy.

So please stay away?

Yes, sir.

I thought you'd understand.

I'll just...

hang on to this while I run it
through for a minute.

I'm screwed.

Maybe more than we know.

He's one of the fugitives.

Are you sure?

Yes, but his life force
readings are very low.

Maybe he's begun to assimilate
with his human body.

Well, it's not as if you
can just take his life force

in front of
all these people.

Although I really
wish you could.

There's a little issue of the
few unpaid parking tickets.

Okay, a couple dozen
unpaid parking tickets.

Drive away, Mel.
Maybe you can catch her.

I can't drive away.
The man has my license, Cole.

Why? Does--it
doesn't matter.

Yes, it does.
As long as he has it--

and hopefully he'll give it
back--I'm not going anywhere.

Mr. Ravin,
I'm Abbie Swenson,

and this is a family friend,
Father Creighton.

And that, of course,
is my daughter, Jamie.

Zin.

It's nice to meet you,
Mrs. Swenson,

Father Creighton,

and of course, it's a pleasure
to meet you, Jamie.

A real pleasure.

Please, sit down,
sit down.

Thank you.

So, how do you like Chicago?

Chicago?
Very nice, very nice.

Not exactly Hollywood, huh?

Actually, Father,
I'm from New York.

We get our smog
3 hours earlier.

[ snickers ]

Um, so how do we go
about doing this?

It's very simple.

For a $25,000 fee,
you allow me to include

Jamie in a documentary
that I'm making

on extraordinary people.

$25,000.

Mom, don't.

Oh, it'll be fine, honey.

- [ laughing ]
- It sounds wonderful.

For me, too.

You know, I am really looking
forward to working with Jamie.

It's clear that
she's very unique.

Mr. Ravin, would you
excuse us for a moment?

Please.

- Abbie.
- Hmm?

[ whispering ]
Don't sign just yet.

Take a few days.
Think it over.

But Father, it's $25,000.

The media exposure
could open up

a whole world
of opportunities for her.

I understand your excitement.

[ sighs ]

But this producer's
only concern is his project,

not Jamie's well-being.

I really recommend that you
go along with this plan, Jamie.

I don't think so.

Maybe you forget
who broke you out of SAR-TOP

and brought you down here.

You are in my debt.

[ sighs ] I'm not one
of your Enixian thugs.

Father, it's not like
I'm not gonna be there.

- I just think--
- Father,

I know what I'm doing.

This money will give her
a whole new future.

I had her when I was so--

Father.

Father, are you okay?

Yeah.

I just want
to protect Jamie.

I don't understand
why you need me, anyway.

Well, these humans
revere you.

With the combination
of your stature

and your Cirronian powers,

you could easily become
their new messiah.

If you let me guide you.

Yeah, and be your puppet?

Forget it.

Let me be blunt.

If you refuse to join me--

You'll what?
Kill me?

Not you, Jamie.

I will do it.
You know I will.

We can meet tonight after
Mrs. Swenson has gone to bed.

[ laughs ]

Everything all right?

Oh, gosh, yeah.

Yes, everything's fine.

Um, Mr. Ravin was just
telling me about the project.

Sounds like fun.

Good, then, I guess
we have ourselves a deal.

Thank you, Mr. Ravin.

It's a pleasure.

So, why did you want
to come back here?

We have to get
into that house.

That's not a good idea, Cole.

The Swensons are gone.

You already know
she's Cirronian.

I have to find out
which one she is.

They're all convicted
criminals, Cole.

What difference
does it make?

Don't you find
something strange here?

The sheriff
is one of the fugitives.

Don't you think
Zin won't be far behind?

Cole, what aren't
you telling me?

They'll be back soon, Mel.

I won't be long.

Lontoria.

[ cell phone rings ]

Hello?

MEL: They're back.

It's all right.
I've found what I need.

Can I get you anything,
Father?

No, thank you.

Oh, my God.

COLE: What is it?

You were right,
It's Zin.

He's heading around
the back of the house.

You've got to
get out of there.

No, I have to find out
what he's up to.

Please be careful.

ABBIE: I really liked Mr. Ravin.
Didn't you, honey?

Oh, yeah, he was great.

Um, do you mind if I go
to my room for a bit?

- Sure.
- Okay.

She looks upset
about something.

Oh, she's just
a little tired.

She's not used to
all the excitement

being the center
of attention.

Have you talked to Jamie about
how she feels about all this?

Well, she said
she liked the project,

that she liked Mr. Ravin.

Abbie, don't take
this the wrong way.

I would never impose
on how you raise Jamie,

but sometimes kids
just go along with things

because they think
that's what's expected.

Your running away
would be such bad form,

don't you think, Jamie?

After all, Cirronians are known
for keeping their word.

- Get out of my way.
- Oh, I don't think so.

ABBIE: I-I'm not planning
on spending a penny on myself.

I know.

But money's not free.

There's a price
for everything.

You've seen already
how much your life has changed.

This is going to have
an impact on Jamie.

[ Jamie gasps ]

ZIN: This might
surprise you, Daggon,

but the one regret I have
about all this is you.

I truly, truly valued
your friendship.

There's a price
for everything, Zin.

Unfortunately, yes.

Why Earth?
Why here?

You know, you probably
won't believe this,

but actually it was the money
I saved by using 1-800-COLLECT.

You have no idea
how convenient it really is.

Well, maybe with all the
craziness that's been going on,

I-I should sit down
and talk to her.

Would you mind
if I spoke to her?

No.

It's amazing
what you can get on sale

by using a little influence.

COLE: Something
you've been trying to gain

ever since you've
been here. Why?

Have you been watching
too much TV, Daggon?

It's the friendly atmosphere,
the weak species.

Simple as that, really.

Then why Lontoria?

She's magic.

When your family
was killed by Rhee

and you were
posted to SAR-TOP,

your eyes were dead
for a very, very long time.

Until you met Lontoria.

You remember that?

CREIGHTON: Jamie!

- Jamie!
- Jamie?

Ohh!

Oof!

Jamie?
Jamie?

Jamie!

MAN: [ on radio ] Now we
have a report that units

are currently searching
a 20-mile radius

to Huntsville in the north,

Bracebridge in the east,

and to Dorset in the west.
Over.

FEMALE DISPATCHER:
Roger that.

We will coordinate with highway
patrol and local sheriffs

in all surrounding counties.

MAN: Car 55 on a 10-24.

DISPATCHER: Thanks.
The estimated...

So?

Who is she?

Her name is Lontoria.

She's serving a life sentence
for treason.

And here
she's got a pink Vespa

and a crush
on her English teacher.

She was a scientist.

She developed
a theory concerning

the pentatonic scale
and how it relates

to what Earth scientists
call the string theory.

Sorry, my specialties
in school were

cutting class
and pissing off my teachers.

She found a way to reconfigure
particles of energy.

But her fellow scientists
on Cirron thought her work

to be ludicrous, and the
government snubbed her.

So she sold her findings

to the Scientific
Consortium of Varda.

What?

You once told me
there were

something like
15,000 inmates on SAR-TOP,

and I was just
wondering how come

you knew so much
about this one.

She's a well-known Cirronian.

Oh.

Everyone knew her.
Her discovery could

lead to new methods
of space travel.

Wow.

Were you and Lontoria
involved?

I felt compassion
for Lontoria.

Nothing else.

You and Lontoria
were involved.

Not as you know
here on Earth.

But yes.

Cole...

It's okay.

She knows me well.

She'll be
difficult to track.

As long as she's with that
priest, she can be tracked.

And she's going to have
to keep her cover, right?

So she's going to have to keep
playing the 17-year-old girl

and let that priest
call the shots.

Right.

How old is she, exactly?

Much older.

Good.

So we track the priest.

Exactly.

Cole...

What about
taking her life force?

It's okay, Mel.
It's my job.

We'll be safe here.

My mom talks to God a lot.

Do you, Jamie?

No...no.

I used to believe.
But it became too hard.

I even took time off
to try to find Him again,

but I never really did.

But now I'm thinking he might
have sent you to remind me.

MEL:
Nicholas Francis Creighton,

born in Akron,
graduated Notre Dame in 1986.

Ordained a Jesuit priest
in 1992,

and assigned to a parish
in Saginaw Falls.

In 1997,
he left Saginaw Falls.

Was assigned to a parish
in South Chicago in 1998,

and been there ever since.

Where was he between
1997 and 1998?

Pull up that
Jesuit Web page again.

Okay,
this could be it.

A lot of priests are required
to perform a hermitage.

- A hermitage?
- Live in seclusion.

Kind of focus
on their spiritualism.

My Sunday school education
might actually pay off. Yes...

My name is Melanie Creighton,
and I'm a Jesuit parishioner.

A while back, my cousin
Father Nicholas Creighton

spent a year or so
in solitary prayer,

and well, I was hoping to make
a pilgrimage to where he was...

Uh-huh?

Mm-hmm.

Please, we need your help.

I thought I could handle this
on my own, but I can't.

MAN: [ on phone ]
Where are you?

Do you have Jamie with you?

CREIGHTON: Yes,
and I promise you, she's fine,

but you've got
to listen to me.

Her life is in danger.
They're after her!

DAWSON:
What are you talking about?

Two men, one posing as
a TV producer named Ravin.

The other, I don't know
who or what he is,

but they're after Jamie.

All right, Father,
calm down, take it easy.

Now, if you need help,
tell me where you are,

and I'll come out myself.

[ sighs ]
Thank you.

The old St. Clement's church,
just outside Minden.

I'll be there in an hour.

[ sighs ]

The sheriff's coming
to help us.

It's Dawson.

- Try to get some rest.
- Okay.

COLE: Father Creighton!

- Stay here.
- No, Father, it's okay.

FATHER: Leave her alone.

It's all right.
I know this man.

Jamie,
what are you doing?

I need to talk to him.
Alone.

This isn't a game.

You said you didn't believe
anymore, but now you can.

[ whispers ]
I promise.

Be careful.

You know why I'm here.

Look, I made a mistake.
I was hurt and angry.

That was your decision.

There's always a price
for the choices we make,

remember that?

That's what we Cirronians
live by. It's our law.

If we fail that,
we fail ourselves

and those
that we try to help.

I was wrong,

but I have
a second chance here.

I can help the people
of this planet as my penance.

That's not my decision to make.
I have a job to do.

You illegally
sold your research

to the Scientific
Consortium of Varda.

I thought they'd use it
for new energy sources,

not military weapons.

Lontoria...

I'm asking you...

give up
your life force willingly.

It's your duty.

But have you thought of the
consequences of your actions?

Jamie Swenson was dying
of an incurable disease.

I gave her life.

Take away my life force,
and you will kill her.

Jamie Swenson died the minute
you inhabited her body.

Tell that to her mother.

To her, Jamie is alive.

I give her love and hope.

Don't make this any harder
than it already is.

You're a man
of great integrity.

And you've always
looked out for me.

Zin may have freed me...

but he would never
have a hold on me.

Never forget that
I am a Cirronian.

We can fight him together.

No, inside.

COLE: Lontoria,
is there no way out of here?

LONTORIA:
I don't know.

The tracker's with them.

We'd better hurry, then,
before he takes her life force.

It's a Vardian weapon.
Interestingly enough,

based on technology
developed by Lontoria herself.

The humans have
a word for that.

Mm-hmm. "Irony."

Let's put it to use.

Father, is there some place
you can hide?

There's a sacristy in the back.
What's going on?

I think we have to get
out of sight immediately.

You learn a lot working
on the South Side of Chicago.

No, Father,
that won't do you any good.

It's only the sheriff.

He might not be the man
you think he is.

Jamie, come with me.

Father, there are things
here you don't understand.

I've had enough of this.

I'll go talk to the sheriff.

I'm sure he can straighten
everything out.

Father, no.

JAMIE:
Father, get back inside!

- COLE: Back inside!
- [ screams ]

CREIGHTON: Ohh...uhh!

CREIGHTON: Oh!
What's the sheriff doing?

Take him. Take him.

- [ grunting ]
- Oh!

Let me see.

The bullet's
lodged in his flesh.

Are you all right?

Barely hit me,
but it was very powerful.

He's using some sort of
energy weapon.

I know.

It's my technology.

CREIGHTON: We have to go.

Wait.

We have to protect Jamie.

We can lock ourselves
in the sacristy.

Let's go.

Go with him, Jamie.

All right.
Come on.

[ both grunt ]

Jamie, how do you know
this man we're with?

He's just, um, just a friend
from a long time ago.

ZIN: How's your hand,
Tracker?

It's a nice little weapon
I've developed.

With the help of Lontoria's
research, of course.

Her work has served
us Vardians well.

You may have your collector,
but the problem is,

you're going to have to get
close enough to use it.

Not likely,
while I have this.

So, I have a deal to propose.

Turn Lontoria over...

And I will spare
your life...

As well as the priest's.

Tracker?

Uhh!

[ gasping ]

[ weapon clicking ]

ZIN: You're suffering...

so why not let me indulge
in a little mercy killing?

JAMIE:
Get away from him!

[ cocks gun ]

I suppose
it was foolish of me

to expect that you and I
would ever work in tandem.

Jamie!

Cole...

He's dying.

[ crying ]

And all because
of my arrogance.

Trying to save human kind
as my penance.

It's a crime
worse than treason.

Through this holy anointing,

may the Lord,
in His love and mercy,

help you with the grace
of the Holy Spirit.

What are you doing?

Administering Last Rites.

So he may join God in heaven.

No. Your God
means little to us.

But we all have
meaning to Him.

Father, please.

I have to try and save him.

May the Lord,
who frees you from sin,

save you and raise you up.

[ strained breathing ]

Jamie...

I thought you were
an angel sent by God.

But I don't think even an
angel can do what I just saw.

[ whispers ]
What are you?

What does it matter
what she is?

She helps people.

Isn't that what
your religion is all about?

Mom?

Jamie!

Oh! I thought I'd lost you.

Are you all right?
Are you okay?

I'm okay.
Father Creighton saved me.

ABBIE: He what?

Mr. Ravin wanted
to hurt me, but...

Father Creighton
saved my life.

Father, I had no idea.
I-I...

I'm sorry
if we gave you a scare.

Honey, who's that man?

Uh, just a friend.

He helped us.

Yeah, he did.

I'm going to be
right back, okay?

Okay.

[ whispers ]
Thanks.

- Father...thank you.
- No, thank you.

Jamie's helped me in ways
I can't even describe.

Seems Mrs. Swenson
really loves her daughter.

Yeah.
Yeah, she does.

You know, I feel like I felt

when I first came
to SAR-TOP.

I've never been more
scared in my entire life.

Well, you never were
the typical prisoner.

You know I never thought
that you should be there.

I committed the crime.

Cole...

I, uh, I sometimes
wonder if--

We were friends where few
others could be, Lontoria.

SAR-TOP was a cold place.

We were able to make it
a little warmer.

[ sighs ]

You were taken in by Zin,
weren't you?

Yeah.

No, don't be ashamed...

I never suspected his
true nature until he got here.

I knew it was illegal
to sell him my research.

Yeah, but you took
responsibility for it.

You were willing
to pay the price.

I know some day you're
going to come back for me.

And I just want you to know
that I will come willingly.

I believe there's
a small margin of error

allowed in my accounting
for all escaped prisoners.

You sacrificed all your
life force so I could live.

You're more Jamie Swenson now
than you are Lontoria.

What if Zin comes?

It will take many years for
your life force to regenerate.

Until then, you'll be
of no value to him.

But you will be to them.

What's the matter?

It's just
you're all alone here.

I mean, who's going
to look out for you?

I have a friend, a human.

She's the only one
who knows who I really am.

Can you trust her?

Yes.
Very much.

I'm going to miss you.

Yeah. Don't worry.
I'll be around.

After all,
you saved my life.

- Yeah.
- [ both chuckle ]
