All language subtitles for Outer Limits S02E19 - Falling star

Play
a little tango,

Well, what's up
with that?

I'll go find out,

Melis, what about
the encore?

What for?

Save my life,
thanks,

Listen to them,

The crowd loves you,

What crowd?

I thought this tour
was about

getting away from
big concerts anyways,

Is that what Terry's
telling the band?

Where's that husband
of mine anyway?

He just said you wanted
to play the clubs again,

I can't even sell out
a thousand-seat hall anymore,

They want you, Melissa,
Listen to them,

Janet, I'm coming down
from stadiums full of people,

70,000, 80,000 people
screaming my name...

Not some small-town club
like this,

Listen,
sweetheart,

you've got a much better voice
than I have,

Why don't you go give them
their encore?

You deserve it,

I got to go,

Sweetheart,

Where the hell you going?

You're supposed to be
on stage right now,

Melissa,

Darling, you owe them
another song,

I don't owe anyone anything,

Melissa?

Is she okay?

I heard
something strange,

Come on, sweetheart,
open the door,

My God,

Are you all right?

What the hell happened?

I don't know,

There is nothing wrong
with your television,

Do not attempt to adjust
the picture,

We are now controlling
the transmission,

We control the horizontal,

and the vertical,

We can deluge you
with a thousand channels

or expand one single image
to crystal clarity...

And beyond,

We can shape your vision

to anything our imagination
can conceive,

For the next hour,

we will control
all that you see and hear,

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from
the deepest inner mind

to
The Outer Limits,

We are told everyone will be
famous for 15 minutes,

but in these times

when celebrity is
the drug of choice,

the truly famous will tell you

15 minutes is rarely
long enough,

It was so weird,

I mean... lt really hurt,

It felt like I was being
electrocuted,

Did you touch something?

Nothing over here
that could shock you

that I can see,

I'm all right,

You partying
by yourself?

How many did you pop?

None,

Well,
these pills...

They're none of
your business, Brian,

All right,

Look, I'm sorry,

Why don't you all
get out of here

before I turn into
a complete bitch?

Let's clear out, everybody.
See you back at the hotel.

Thanks for
a lovely show,

You want to tell me how many
of these you actually did take?

None,

I just opened them
to take one

and then something hit me

and I spilled them,

I'm all right, Terry,

You sure about that?

Why don't you just
wrap things up here

and I'll take a little bit
of sleep, okay?

All right,

Melissa,
you have to listen to me,

My God,

I know what you're doing,

Please don't do this,

Please,

What?

Terry?

Do you believe
in miracles?

Absolutely,

I think one
just happened to me,

What's that?
A miracle?

Yeah,

Call it
a guardian angel,

a presence,
I don't know,

Whatever it was,
I feel totally different,

I can't even
explain it,

but I feel like
a whole new person,

Not at all
a sleepy person,

I don't suppose,

I thought about
killing myself tonight,

What?

I've been thinking about it
for a long time,

Melissa,

It's all right though,
honestly,

Something stopped me,
or maybe I stopped myself,

I don't know,

But whatever,

I feel like I've got
a second chance,

Why didn't you say something
about this before?

I did,

You just weren't listening,

I really want a second chance
with you, too,

What do you mean?

I know I've been
nothing but a depressing,

depressed wet rag
for months now,

If I was you,
I'd have left me ages ago,

That's all going to change,
I promise,

Should I be thanking
your guardian angel for that?

No,

That was from me,

Brian...

Brian...

Apologize to Brian,

Brian,

Hi,

The other day,
sorry I was such a...

Don't worry,
Forget about it,

New song?

Yeah, it's the start of one,

Good to see you writing again,

Yeah, thought it was time,

I don't know, man,

I wrote my first album

in one 24-hour, crazy,
Kamikaze writing jag,

Now, I'm lucky if I get
two good lines in in a day,

Yeah, well,
you hit the big time,

It stops being
about the music,

Suddenly it's all about
instead of, "Well, I like this,"

you wonder,
"Will they like this?"

Or "Is this too much about
what I wrote before

or is it not enough like
What I wrote before?"

How do I make
the lightning strike twice?

How did I make it strike
in the first place?

Man, no wonder you can't get
anything done,

Yeah,

Sometimes I just feel so...

Sometimes you feel...

You okay?

Yeah,

Anything I can do?

Yes,

Ask him,

Um...

As a matter of fact, yeah,

Would you like to write
a song with me?

Yeah, you're kidding,

No, I'm not,

I think you're one of the best
composers there is,

I think I do okay
with a lyric,

but, yeah, I would like to write
one more good song,

Me too,

I mean, yes,
I'd love to, yes,

Okay,

No, no, don't go!

I'm not going anywhere,
I'm right here,

Um... Excuse me,

Where are you?

Where are you?

My God, Melissa,

You're losing it,

Absolutely losing it,

I'm here with
Melissa McCammon,

That was one of
my favorites of hers

from a few years back,
"Dance Away,"

the blues,
Beg your pardon?

The song is called
"Dance Away the Blues,"

Of course, right,

I'm very sorry,

Of course
that's the name,

I'm getting tongue-tied
with this beautiful woman

sitting here,

and let me tell you,
she does look hot,

That's nice of you to say,

Folks, you can catch
Melissa tomorrow night

at club Zeus,

What time's the show?

There's an 8:00
and an 11:00

and there's still
some tickets left,

but we think
it's going to be a good show,

Well, we've got
a little Whitney Houston

coming up for you
right after this,

Hey, it was fun
having you,

Thanks,

Sorry again about the
faux pas

with
the song title,

I used to be
a big fan,

Used to be?
Thanks a lot,

No, I just
meant that...

Man, that first
album you put out

was really great,

I loved it,

Why don't you
stick around?

We can play
some more tunes...

I'd love to, but I've got
a really tight schedule,

Yeah, okay,

Don't go yet,

Why are you doing this?

If you go now, you'll see,

See what? Who are you?

I don't know how much longer
I can...

No, wait, wait, wait!

Damn it!

You okay?

Yeah,

No problem,

Bye,

Son of a bitch!

Bloody hell,

Would you leave me
the hell alone?

Okay, sorry,

No, not you,

I'm sorry,

What are you doing
down here?

I was getting drunk,
Want to join me?

I thought we were going
to work on a song,

God, Brian,
I am so sorry,

I completely
forgot,

That's okay,
Rain check?

Sure,

Whatever,

Listen, sweetheart,

There you are,

Go away,

Let's not make anything more
out of this than it is,

You were making love
to her!

I was screwing her,
There's a difference,

Okay, I guess
I'll see you later,

No, you stay,

Terry was just leaving,

I love you,

That's what matters,
isn't it?

Just get your stuff
and get the hell out of my life,

What are you going to do
for a road manager?

I'll get a new one,

You don't know
what you're saying,

I know exactly
what I'm saying,

Let's get you upstairs,
sober you up,

Let go of me,

Let go of her,
Terry,

Do you want to make
a spectacle?

Let go of her,
Terry,

Sod off, you!

You sure you're okay?

I'm fine,

You see the look
On that S, O, B, 's face

after you dropped him?

I have to admit,
it felt good,

I never much liked him,
to be honest,

Sorry,

I was out of line,

He's your husband,
and I shouldn't have,

It's okay,
He
was
my husband,

You want to go somewhere
and talk?

Nah, I'm okay,

I just need some sleep,

Yeah, I'll let you
get some rest,

Brian,

Thanks,

No problem,

Would you go away?

I won't let you
kill yourself, Melissa,

What do you mean?
Who the hell are you?

What the hell
are you?

A fan,

Now I know
I'm hallucinating,

because I don't have
any fans anymore,

From the future,

My name is Rachel,

Rachel,
it was nice to meet you,

but I'm going
to go take a bath now,

Please listen to me!

There should have been
a headline

on every newspaper
in America,

April 2nd, 1997,

"Melissa McCammon
found dead

of a drug overdose
In her dressing room,"

What are you
talking about?

Your obituary,

The one that no longer exists
because I saved you,

April 2nd,

Two nights ago,

I was supposed to die?

But I stopped you,

I changed history,

Why?

Your music matters, Melissa,

My music?

I was with you when you wrote
"Dance Away the Blues"

and I was with you
when you sang before

80,000 people five years ago
on the 4th of July,

What do you mean,
you were with me?

Like I'm with you now,

Feeling what you feel,

seeing what you see,

Don't you realize

how deeply your music can touch
a person's soul?

It died along with you,

In the future
we have the ability

to project a person's
consciousness back in time

into the body of somebody living
in that time,

We can share a consciousness
with great people of the past,

It's how we learn about history
and about ourselves,

The host never knows,

They can't know,

There are failsafes
to prevent the traveler

from affecting the past,

But I broke the rules,

I had to pass
some of the restraints,

I saved you,

That's it,
Yeah,

Terry!
Terry, what's wrong?

Terry...

You all right?

I think so,

Hard to maintain
control,

We won't be here long,

Stop that!

We're not here
for our own amusement,

We have a job to do,

Sorry,
Easy to get distracted,

Never traveled
in a woman's body before,

Let's find that
Melissa McCammon

and be done
with this,

Ms, McCammon,

may we have a word
with you, please?

I was just going
to call you two,

Well, guys, I've decided to make
a couple of changes,

Your services have been
terminated,

Both of you,

My agent's drawing up
your severance checks,

Ms, McCammon,

We're not
who you think we are,

That's for damn sure,

Why are you talking like that?

We're from the same time
as Rachel,

Melissa, don't
listen to them,

You've done
enough damage,

Somebody just explain
what the hell is going on?

Ms, McCammon, a transgression
has taken place,

Ordinarily,

a time tourist sees life
through the host's eyes

without the ability
to affect his actions,

However,
Rachel seems to have

hacked past
our security measures,

Melissa, leave now,

We are monitors,

Our job is to prevent
such transgressions,

But she reprogrammed
the equipment

so that we can't disconnect her
without killing her,

She stranded her consciousness
inside you,

Stranded inside of me?

My God, for how long?

Forever,

If I leave your body,
they'll take control of it,

like they're doing now
to Terry and Candice,

and force you
to commit suicide

to preserve
their future,

Melissa,
their future is
a terrible place,

It's a place

of cookie-cutter music

and only
government-approved art,

Rachel, you've done
enough damage,

There's no
creative expression,

Everyone is
exactly the same,

like them,

I believe you could
change that,

Please,
we have to leave,

Rachel, we don't want
to sedate your body,

but you leave us
no choice,

No! Don't!

Melissa,

We'll have to deal
with Rachel

sooner or later,

She's committed one of
our most serious crimes,

She saved my life,

And in doing so,
changed our history,

Your future,

We're here
to put things right,

What does that mean?

It means you have to die

of a drug overdose,
now,

What?

The time line
has to be maintained,

That is the law,

Any change is a crime,

It must look
like suicide,

You expect me
to kill myself?

We were hoping
you'd cooperate,

Cooperate?

I am sorry
about your history,

but this is my future,

I didn't ask
for this stuff,

When Rachel first came here,
all I wanted to do was die,

But now I actually want
to live,

Unless you can come up
with a better reason

than the one you're giving me,
I have no intention of dying,

No,

She has to die,

She has to do it
herself,

We can't convince her
to kill herself,

Well, then we have
to make it look

like she did.

So what
we have to do

is find some way
of simulating
a suicide,

But she has to die
of a drug overdose,

I suspect it has to
appear that way, yeah,

Right,

What are you doing?

This body dies of lung cancer
in seven years,

No, I think the head
was more like that,

Like that?
Okay,

What?

Do you believe how long
we've been at it?

What's wrong?

Nothing's wrong,

What could
possibly be wrong?

This is some of
the best stuff
we've done in ages,

You think
it's that good?

Yeah, I think
it's almost perfect,

Jeff, could you work out
a fill for the bridge?

You got it,

And, Janet?

Like to try harmony
in the second chorus?

Sure,

All right,
let's take five

and then
we'll go again,

Brian?
Yeah?

This song is going to be hit,

You think?

Yeah, don't you?

I don't know,

You're the big star,

You'll be one too, soon,

No, really,
you are,

You really made
this song possible,

in more ways
than you know,

Thanks, Brian,

You don't have
to thank me,

Yes, I do,

Would you like to go to dinner
after the show?

Sure, I'd like that,

Okay,

Wow, do you ever
look wonderful,

Why didn't you tell me they were
going to come after me?

I know, I'm sorry,

I was worried about you,

About me?

About what they
might have done to you,

They can't keep me away
from you for long,

Don't you have a life
to go back to?

But your life is
so much better,

That's just it, Rachel...
It's my life,

We can't keep this up,

Hi, Sam,
hi, Eddie,

I was just about
to leave,

We hate to lay
this stuff on you

before a show,

but we have some
money problems

we need to talk
with someone about,

With Terry gone,
that's you,

Well,
come in then,

What kind of problems...

My God, Melissa!

Please don't
struggle,

Ms, McCammon, it will
all be over very soon,

Stop it, damn you!
Don't do this!

Get off!

Melissa, are you okay?

My God,

Melissa, are you
all right in there?

Janet,

My God!

What happened?

It's a long story,

Tell me you're not
doing this now,

No, no,

You wouldn't believe
what's going on here,

I don't even
believe it myself,

You know the other night
when I had that attack?

Well,
I came back here...

Brian, I need your help,

Sure, anything,

What's the...?

Before I tell you,
come over here for a second,

You're bleeding,

Here,

All right,
what happened?

Terry and I,
we didn't have the money

to finance the personnel
that we were carrying,

We went to some people that
weren't exactly above board,

I think a couple of them
just tried to kill me,

Call the cops,

Brian, I can't,

I have to get away from here
so I can think this through,

Can you go back home?

Cancel the tour,
go back to Marin county,

No, they'd just be
waiting for me there,

Melissa, you have to call
the cops,

I can't, Brian,
believe me,

I can't do this
alone, either,

Are you sure this is
the right place and time?

That's what was
recorded

in the police logs,

Shouldn't be long,

Are you all right?

Yeah,

It's just that the longer
I stay in this body,

the harder it is
to maintain control,

So get a new one,

No,

Janet's her closest friend,

Do you know what
a tranquilizer gun looks like?

I'll have time to find it,

According to their logs,

the police don't answer
the alarm for 17 minutes,

Welcome to the ass end
of nowhere,

Perfect,

No one saw you?

Clerk did,

He dies of his wounds

before the police arrive,
so he'll tell no one,

- We only have enough heroin
to fill one or two darts. - Yeah.

- Are you sure you're all right?
- I'm fine, drive.

Are you okay?

Yeah,

I'm just paranoid,

This is crazy,

A couple of days ago,

all I wanted to do
was die,

Why?

I wanted to be
the most famous person out there

and stay that way,

It's all I could ever
think about,

Seems a little...

What?

Shallow?

Yeah,
I guess it is,

But you got to understand
what it's like, Brian,

Once you get a taste for it,
you get addicted to it,

The crowds
and the adoration

and everybody
loving you,

You start to believe
all that stuff after a while,

I would turn on the radio
and all I would hear

was my own voice
or some DJ talking about

how brilliant I was,

Still want that now?

No,

Now, all I want is to live

and to make music and...

Maybe even have a baby someday,

Most of all,

I want to enjoy
that warm feeling that you get

whenever you meet someone

really special,

Who would that be?

Melissa,

That was my first time,

My God,

What?

That was wonderful,

The sensations,
it just felt so...

No, no, no, no,

This isn't
going to work,

Melissa,
what's wrong?

I can't do this,

What are you talking about?

We can't let the man
you inhabit wake up

till we get him back
to where we found him,

What do we do?
Sedatives,

There were some left
in Ms, McCammon's room,

Brian,

You okay?

Yes, I'm fine,

Shoot her,

I can't maintain control,

Janet, if there's
a part of you

that can still
hear me, please!

Melissa?

Where am I?

My God!

My God, Janet!

My God,

Do something,
She's going to die,

I'm sorry,

I don't know
what I can do for her,

This wasn't
supposed to happen

in your idea
of the future, was it?

Can we repair the damage
to her heart?

Erase the damage
of the overdose?

It's too late,

I felt her consciousness
leave her body,

Janet Marshall
is gone,

How will this affect
the time-stream?

I'll go back to
the control center and find out,

I can't live like this,
Rachel,

Neither of us can,

It's over,

No, wait,

You can still have
a second chance,

They have the technology

to transfer your consciousness
into Janet's body,

This is quite extraordinary,

What is it?

The control center changed,

Changed how?

There was music playing,
not like in our time line,

The people there
seemed so... happy,

The time line's changed,

I knew it,

Your music must have opened up
possibilities

for other musicians,

and that little cultural ripple
changed everything,

I told you
your music mattered,

Melissa McCammon
does live on,

Actually,

it seems Melissa McCammon
died...

Here tonight in this motel,

No,

Then that's the answer,

Take over her life?

It's the only way,

It'd be like stealing
her life from her,

Wouldn't she want you to?

No!

I think you people
should put things back

the way you wanted it,

Give her back her life
and take mine,

You don't seem
to understand,

The life force
has left her body,

It cannot return,

Ms, McCammon,

The song you and Brian
wrote together,

Janet Marshall will release it
three months from now,

Her first hit, the beginning,

Other artists will imitate her,

We have to do this now,

while there's still time
to revive the body,

You can't stay
with me, can you?

No,

Ms, McCammon,

If you do this,

Rachel will receive
no punishment,

You can't guarantee that,

When you see home,
you'll agree,

It's a world I would like
my children to live in,

You have my word,

Melissa,

Don't worry about me,

Whatever happens,
I'll have your music,

In the long view of history,

what difference will
any of our lives make?

The true measure
of a life

is not how many people know
our names when we die,

but whether we touched
the lives of others,
