Man from Atlantis (1977–1978): Season 1, Episode 4 - The Disappearances - full transcript

Now, easy, thark.

Why did you do that?

You steal from thark?
You ruin his work?

You have placed
my world in danger.

That is the only
reason I am here.

I've done nothing
to harm your kind.

You are draining our oceans dry.

Whoa!

Muldoon!

[Theme music]

[Instrumental music]



[Thark growling]

[Thark growling]

[Grunts]

[Thark growling]

[Screams]

C.w. On the line, Dr. Merrill.

Well, Elizabeth, did you find
that leak in the ocean yet?

(Dr. Merrill) 'Mark's
outside exploring now.'

'all we know at
this point is that'

'we've got a water
loss rate of 7.34.'

you're talking about millions
of gallons of sea water

just going down the drain.

(Dr. Merrill) 'It's gotta be
going down something, c.W.'

'water doesn't
evaporate at this rate.'



if it is just disappearing
down some kind of a hole..

No, Elizabeth,
that's mind boggling.

Where on this earth could
so much water just vanish to?

- Elizabeth.
- Gotta go, c.W.

I'll fill you in as soon as
we hear something definite.

Right.

There is a great
whirlpool here, Elizabeth.

Monitor it on camera four.

Punching in, camera four.

(Dr. Merrill) 'That's where
the water must be going, Mark.'

'is there a fissure in
there of some sort?'

I cannot see from here.

Mark, don't get any
closer before I can calculate

the speed of that current.

The sooner I confirm this
as our problem, Elizabeth

the better.

[Dramatic music]

(Dr. Merrill) Here he comes.

- Elizabeth, this disturbance..
- Yes?

I think it might be artificial.

Man-made?

(Mark) Whoever made it.

The flow of water is
too uniform to be natural.

As if the sea were
being siphoned off.

The only place the sea
could be siphoned off

would be at the
center of the earth.

That's a physical impossibility.

(Mark) 'But it is happening.'

and if it continues to happen

this planet will be
nothing but desert.

(Dr. Merrill) 'Mark?'

someone is out
there, in trouble.

- Scan.
- Scanning.

There is someone or something.

A person this far down?

(Jane) 'I can't get anything
with the nose camera.'

let's try camera five.

Long lens.

[Instrumental music]

- 'It's a scuba diver.'
- He looks dead.

At this depth, what
else would he be?

(Dr. Merrill) 'Mark.'

I have him, Elizabeth.

- Alive?
- 'Yes, but just barely.'

Get the sick bay ready.

Flushing vent.

- They're clear.
- Open it.

(Mark) Help me, please.

- Compression chamber?
- I do not think so.

Is he alive?

Yes, I think he will be alright.

(Dr. Merrill) Skin tone, good.

Pulse good too.

His will to live
seems quite strong.

According to my
medical knowledge

this man should
be wide awake now.

(Dr. Merrill) 'What was he
doing out there, anyway?'

probably diving off akemi reef

although it is
very far to drift.

[Coughs]

Convulsions.

I'm gonna need a
sedative, hurry it.

This is the first sign of pain.

I don't know what
else to do for him.

There could be
internal injuries.

I'm gonna have to
transport him to a hospital.

There's a weather
station at akemi reef.

They can take him by
helicopter from there.

Medusa bay.

I'm dying.

Lungs ruptured.

Medusa bay.

My mother, she's there.

'She never wanted
me to go to the sea.'

[coughs]

Who are you? What's your name?

What were you doing
diving this far out to sea?

[Gasps]

He's in a coma.

Well, do we set a
course for medusa bay

'or bring the investigation
to a dead stop for 48 hours?'

the man is dying, Elizabeth.

[Door shuts]

Muldoon, you
brilliant devil, you.

This is absolutely
the greatest caper yet.

Complete, with
chauffeured submarine

and pretty lady doctor.

[Chuckles]

Look, Elizabeth, if these
calculations are on target

we have a problem
of major proportions.

We know it, c.W., and that's
why we've changed course.

'We're dropping our
guest off at akemi reef.'

they'll transfer him from there

and we can get back
to the vortex by nightfall.

I've alerted the meteorological
stations along the coast.

This thing could create
tides, the likes of which..

(C.w.) 'Well, I don't
have to tell you.'

computer readout puts the
leak in geometric context.

Give it five days, c.W.

'And it isn't just the tides
that we're gonna be facing.'

it's a total alteration
in the orbit of the earth.

[Intense music]

[Beeping]

Cards. Everybody
plays cards, don't they?

I have seen the crew on occasion

but I have never participated.

By the time I'm through with
you there won't be a casino

between here and Singapore
you won't feel right at home in.

- Five cards, right?
- I have five, yes.

Oh, don't show 'em to
me. This is a game of bluff.

And another thing..

You don't like the
hand I dealt you

'you can replace up
to three cards. Savvy?'

how many cards you need?

Well, these will do
quite fine, thank you.

What do we do now?

- We bet.
- Bet what?

Well, that your hand's
better than my hand.

What else? How much
bread you got on ya?

Bread? That is
slang for something?

Right.

- Money.
- Oh.

In lieu of which, uh, some
folks would take a marker

or some item of value.

Like, uh, say that snazzy
jacket you got there.

This is an official foundation
jacket. It is not mine.

Oh.

Too precious to, uh,
gamble with, huh?

Yeah, alright.

We could talk about
taking me to medusa bay.

Nah! Next hand.

Couple of hands
down the line, maybe.

'You sure you don't
want a new card?'

for myself? One, methinks.

- Did you get something good?
- Uh-huh.

You wanna see it?

You gotta pay for it.

You were talking
about this jacket.

Right, into the pot
with it, old buddy.

It'll be your jacket
against my, uh..

My lucky rabbit's foot.

Huh?

Is there supposed to be
some correlation between

the dismembered paw
of a lagomorph and luck?

Two pair.

(Muldoon) 'Sorry, old buddy.'

(Mark) Is this better?

Well, uh..

No.

Kings and queens have a
way of cancelling each other out.

You see, uh, too
many faces in one hand.

Now that makes
sense, doesn't it?

- If that is the rule, yes.
- Mm-hmm.

(Dr. Merrill) And if you don't
know anything about playing poker

and you're being
taken by a shark.

Elizabeth!

(Muldoon) 'Lovely
vision of the deep.'

forget it, muldoon.

Hey, I was just
tryin' to keep the kid

from gettin' that nasty
card-playin' habit.

How very noble.

Does this mean
I've won the game?

Hmm.

You are now the proud possessor

of one lucky rabbit's foot.

Somewhat mothy, hmm, but you
can't have everything, can you?

Does that mean you're not
taking me to medusa bay?

(Muldoon) 'Can't
blame a feller for tryin'.'

[beeping]

But he's back out
of the vortex now?

Yes. He thinks he can pinpoint

the center of the
whirlpool for us.

Maybe even catch a glimpse
of what's on the other side.

(C.w.) 'Wait a minute, Elizabeth,
you yourself told me how deadly'

'the flow rate alone
in there was, and... '

look, Dr. Merrill!

[Intense music]

Elizabeth?

Mark, get out of there, fast!

[Intense music]

We must contact c.W., Elizabeth.

Muldoon must not be allowed
to leave the weather station.

Muldoon? What's he
got to do with anything?

He was not diving
off the akemi reef.

Well, where else could
he have come from?

From the other
side of the vortex.

That's impossible.

You know the rate
flow through that hole?

A salmon couldn't get through
that swimming upstream.

Perhaps he did not come
from that passageway.

- Perhaps another entryway.
- Entryway? To where?

That is what we must find out.

Muldoon?

Now what is so important
about that reprobate?

Where he was when
I found him, c.W.

We had assumed he'd
drifted down from akemi reef

but now I see that could
not have been the case.

Well, come on, Mark. What
other case could it have been?

Muldoon has been wherever
it is the water is going to.

Which means he knows the way in.

I wish you'd figured
that out before.

He has left the weather station?

After fleecing half the
meteorological staff

of their paychecks.

Jomo, lay in a course
for medusa bay.

[Beeping]

[Beeping]

(Muldoon) 'And it
was nip and tuck'

'all the way, let
me tell you, ladies.'

that abominable snowman
had me up by the ears

dangling me out over
that glacier. And me?

'I didn't have so
much as a jackknife'

'to protect myself with.'

can hardly wait to hear
how you got out of that.

What I did was, I untied my boot

and I strangled the
cuss with a boot string.

[Laughing]

Oh, Joseph! We are parched.

We have run up a bloody big tab
since noon, haven't we, muldoon?

And I still haven't seen, I
didn't hear of anything green.

Now, Joseph..

Didn't I tell you?

I have enough legal tender

to buy this stinking pesthole
of an island ten times over.

You said a lot of crazy things
since you walked in here.

But people who don't cough
me up the green find themselves

playing footsie
with the, uh, sharks.

And there's a lot more
where that came from.

The essar's flying in special,
first thing in the morning.

After which, yours truly becomes

'the richest man
from here to Fiji.'

'now, Joseph. How
about those drinks?'

(Joseph) 'Yes, sir.'

now, ladies, as I was saying..

Ah, Mark, laddybuck,
what a pleasant surprise.

Let me buy you a drink.

I must speak with
you urgently, muldoon.

Now, what could be so urgent?

- Debbie, Irene.
- Later perhaps.

Oh. Excuse us, ladies. My
friend wants some privacy.

Uh, he's a responsibility
I've taken on.

You see, I saved his neck
once in Fiji, and, uh, you know..

Responsibility.

Mark, after you.

Terrific chicks, both of 'em.

They come from the
sandwich islands, you know?

Get my meaning?

You don't get my meaning?

Alright, uh, talk to me.

The place I rescued
you, we must return.

Twenty thousand
leagues under the sea?

You gotta be
kidding, sweetheart.

You have to show me the
way beyond the disturbance.

Disturbance?

I-I don't know what
you're talkin' about.

Muldoon, the world is in danger.

The oceans are being bled dry.

I got deals to attend to.

Mark, amigo..

It-it means that
much to you, does it?

It means that much to everyone.

Can't we just keep
it one to one, alright?

You and me. I owe you,
and you got it comin'.

Now, as soon as I say
goodbye to my friend Dexter..

We can shove off, okay?

I'm glad you have a
sense of responsibility.

Responsibility? Why,
that's my middle name.

What'll ya have?

Uh, water.

Water.

Hey, be careful of
that. It's mighty potent.

Is it true what he said?

I beg your pardon?

Why did you do that?

Hey! Knock it off!

- You started this!
- Ah!

[Woman screams]

Hey!

Stop that!

Muldoon!

(Mark) 'Muldoon!'

[chuckling]

[Heavy breathing]

Easy, thark.

Now, easy, thark.

Be cool.

[Grunts]

[Shouting] Look what
you've done to my place!

It's all your fault.

Cease or I fire.

Ask this guy, look
at this place! I...

Hey, Joe. Easy.

Now, officer, I'm a
victim of circumstance.

He'll vouch for me.

(Muldoon) Mark?

Amigo?

- Come on.
- I've been framed!

(Muldoon) I admit it, I have
been on the other side of that hole.

But if you think I'm crazy
enough to go back there..

(Mark) Perhaps it is
dangerous, but once through..

Unless there is some further
danger you have not told me of.

Hmm, nothin'.

Nothin' I'd be afraid of anyway.

Besides, the whole
place is probably

'evaporated now and gone away.'

- yes. Probably.
- There you go.

The bill for damages to
the bar add up to $6,000.

That will not
evaporate and go away.

Joseph.

He's a bloomin'
bill padder, that one.

(Mark) 'If it were $6,
muldoon, you could not pay it.'

'your pouch is gone.'

I noticed that when you
came in through the window.

Yeah, well, uh..

These waters
are full of thieves.

Doesn't mean I'm
not good for it, buddy.

Besides, it'd be a
good investment for ya.

You are asking
me to pay your bill?

Hey, I know a good
ol' boy when I see one.

And that, my friend, is you.

It would not be necessary
for you to repay me.

Good ol' boy.

Now can I pick 'em
or can I pick 'em?

Not in cash, anyway.

Oh, no.

No, sir.

You go through that funnel all

by your pretty little lonesome.

You hear me?

Goodbye, Jake.

I trust Joseph, the bartender

will not be too hard on
you when you are released.

Released? What released?

Alright, this is a
60-day offense.

Maybe even 120.

Two hours.

It is the least I could
do for you. Goodbye.

You can't do this to me.

Why, they'll scout me out there.

'I wanna stay in
jail, do you hear me?'

(muldoon) 'Hey, we really don't
need no buddy line, now, do we?'

hey, you guys don't
trust me, now, do you?

'Now, if that don't beat all.'

and my word's my bond.

Everybody in the
islands knows that.

Sure would appreciate
the opportunity

'to demonstrate that to ya.'

you've got a way about
you, Jake muldoon.

Too bad you're dealing
with a cynic like myself.

Cynic, are ya?

Pretty big challenge
for an enthusiastic

young buckaroo, I'd say.

Don't wear a tank, amigo?

- I do not use one.
- Right.

Wait a minute, you
weren't wearing a tank

'when you pulled me
out of the water, were ya?'

I mean, I don't
remember any air tanks.

Oxygen starvation will do
weird things to your mind.

You know that.

Well then, give
him a tank, okay?

- Your tank.
- Thank you.

So long, pretty lady.

'Keep a candle
burnin' in the window.'

[Instrumental music]

It is not natural. I knew
it could not be natural.

(Muldoon) You wanted
to get to the other side.

[Chuckles] Here you are.

Exactly as it was
the first time I saw it.

Now, you can imagine my
surprise and discombobulation.

I mean, being in here
instead of out there.

That was, of course,
before I went up the rope.

And as you can
see, there is no rope.

I'll be seeing ya.

There it is.

Yeah, looks just like a rope.

[Chuckles]

Will you give me a leg up?

[Grunting]

[Grunting]

Whoa!

Muldoon!

Mark!

Mark?

(Muldoon) 'You can't
leave me just dangling here.'

[intense music]

(Muldoon) 'Mark, hombre.'

Mark, ol' buddy.

Can you get me out of this?

(Mark) You were supposed to
know about things like this, muldoon.

(Muldoon) 'Sorry,
things just have a way'

'of movin' on you sometimes,
lad, they certainly do.'

I think it's tearin' my
leg out of the socket.

It's really startin' to hurt.
Can you come on up?

[Mark grunting]

Mark, ol' buddy, could
you get me out of here?

(Mark) Sure, okay.

Come on over here.
Around the side.

Okay.

(Mark) Okay.

[Muldoon grunting]

Over there.

Now, that's what I call
your basic close shave.

- The rope was tampered with.
- Booby trapped, huh?

Just because I've
been in this place before

doesn't mean I've seen it all.

Perhaps.

It is another world, I think.

(Muldoon) 'Quiet and
peaceful, you think, huh?'

quiet and peaceful,
just like that well was.

Well, you want some
advice from a man

who's had experience
in this place?

Hey, where do you
think you're going?

- 'Those beauts.'
- 'Why there?'

this world touches ours
somewhere up there.

We find the channel the water
is flowing through, we cut it off.

Hey!

Now, you're not gonna
find any water up here.

I will admit that the
land is arid, muldoon.

[Water splashing]

See, I told ya.

(Mark) It is water.

There is water here,
but you cannot see it.

That's right, amigo,
you can't see it.

It's a crazy place.
Different rules apply here.

And one of 'em is going up
to those beauts is a no-no.

You don't know what kind
of monster lives up there.

Then we will have to be careful.

Hey! Hey.

I warn you of certain danger,
and you wanna go on anyway?

What are you, man?
Some kinda martyr?

Unless we break the
connection between the worlds

and cut off the
flow of sea water...

Now you listen to me, boy.

I'm your guide here,
and if I say it's dangerous

you can believe it's dangerous.

You have fulfilled
your obligation to me.

There's no need for
you to go any farther.

Oh, no, you don't.

If you think I'm gonna
let you walk ignorant

into all sorts of
unimaginable terror

you got another thing comin'.

You wanna go up there,
and see it for yourself, alright.

But it's my bet

you're gonna lead us
back down here so fast

it's gonna make your head swim.

Come on.

[Beeping]

How are we coming with the scan?

Not good.

Once Mark followed
muldoon under that rock..

Our heat sensor
should have been able to

penetrate that rock.

We should have been able to get

an outline at least

fifty yards in, instead..

[Beeps]

(Jomo) 'Just goes into nothing.'

maybe what, ten yards in?

(Jomo) Ten, no more than twelve.

Impossible, right?

You know, Mark..

This, uh, this foundation
you work for, ocean research.

What is it? Funded by a Grant?

Uh, government stuff
or private industry?

Lot of bucks there, huh?

(Mark) Muldoon, there are
intelligent beings in this world.

Well, that depends
on your definition

of intelligent, now, doesn't it?

Architectural
wonder, it ain't, friend.

Point is I can speak
with whoever made it

and explain our problem.

Thark'd sooner split
you like a wish bone

than listen to your
problem, believe me.

[Footsteps approaching]

We gotta hide.

We must try and talk with him.

You wanna get a
good look at the man

you're gonna speak
with upfront, right?

'I'm not exaggerating
the deep dip we're in.'

we gotta hide, believe me.

[Intense music]

- 'Flour?'
- yep.

(Muldoon) Used this one to
get myself out of a tight one

like this back in one of
them kona coast hotels.

(Mark) 'By sprinkling
flour on the floor?'

(muldoon) By putting
my footprint in it.

Aim in a general direction

of the window, amigo.

[Water gurgling]

Well, comprende?
Was that fearful?

Most new and strange things
are fearful to humans it seems.

Well, with good right with
that walking skyscraper.

- He's a menace.
- He's a miner.

- I don't care how old he is.
- A prospector.

Did you not see his
tools in this cabin?

That's why he had
all those shiny, little...

Those shiny, little
what, muldoon?

[Clears throat]

The bartender at medusa bay

mentioned nuggets.

'Is this where you got them?'

now, what does that
have to do with anything?

Miners use water, water
flowing through a narrow channel.

Oh, you mean a sluice.

It is somewhere near here.

Come on, how
could you know that?

'Can you not hear it?'

no.

I can.

You know who's likely
to be over there, don't ya?

I know something else that is
likely to be over there as well.

- What?
- More golden nuggets.

Got a good point there.

[Water gushing]

Just as I thought.

There's no sign of the
big kid. That's good.

The water's coming
from that gate.

Look, every third
stone is pure gold.

Now, why didn't somebody tell me

about this the first
time I was here?

Do not touch it.
It is dangerous.

Come on, mate.

There's enough
momentum in this current

to tear a man to pieces.

Yeah, well, now there's a little
pile, don't look too dangerous.

Muldoon, I need your
help to close this water gate.

You think this is the water
that's escaping from our ocean?

'Yes.'

'we have to find a
way to close the gate'

'so it will never open again.'

[footsteps thumping]

Would you look at the
size of that nugget, paisano?

Any idea what that's
worth on the open market?

Muldoon, help
me with this wheel.

I've had it with
you, you hear me?

'Go on off and save the world
by yourself. My debt's paid.'

'if thark doesn't
get you first.'

muldoon!

Adios, sucker.

[Dramatic music]

[Footsteps approaching]

You steal from thark?

You ruin his work?

I am not a thief.

Go back to the well
you crawled from, thief.

Not until I finish
what I've come to do.

To steal.

You are with the other one.

The other one is a
thief, you are a thief.

Go, before I lose control
and destroy you completely.

Where is muldoon? The other one?

Told to leave.

If he's smart, he
has left. If not...

It was necessary for me

to use him as a guide.

Just leave.

You have placed
my world in danger.

That is the only
reason I'm here.

I've done nothing
to harm your kind.

You are draining our oceans dry.

That is not harmless.

Riddles to confuse me.

The water you use for mining..

Where do you
think it comes from?

The rock, the
underground stream.

Before, perhaps. But
now our worlds overlap.

The water is from our oceans.

We need it. We
cannot survive without it.

This is the truth?

It is the only reason I'm here.

Atta baby, Mark, keep
the big kid distracted.

I did not mean any harm.

This is a great sadness to me.

Then help me. Together
we can stop the flow.

Yes, it's necessary for us both.

- Why for us both?
- 'The water is out of control.'

if the gate is not closed,
the sluice will collapse.

And I'll be unable
to mine the ore.

Why is mining so
important to you?

It is what I do.

Are there not other
things to do here?

Other people do
other things, I mine.

That is the way
it is. I am content.

Elizabeth, is your
position safe now or not?

We're like spectators watching

the fire burn our corn crop.

'We're not gonna
get burned, but we'll'

'sure as heck starve to death.'

- Elizabeth.
- C.W.

Nobody's position is safe.

All readings confirm that.

'Now, assuming that
the rate of closure'

is anywhere near
the rate of increase

effects of the water
loss are irreversible.

How much time have we got?

We're out of time.

If you're looking
for initial effects

'you can expect the first
tides in a matter of hours.'

Elizabeth, you're
talking doomsday.

A rock is wedged in the gate.

It's knocked it off its runners.

Can it be fixed?

If the sluice were dry, perhaps.

'But the running water
will tear my arm off.'

let me try.

You're less than
half my strength.

Thark, trust me.

I can withstand the pressure

and the current for a time.

One moment.

The water loss is up to
1,500 gallons per second.

Well, if they're
gonna do something

they'd better do it fast.

Look what's happened to those
rocks at the edge of the vortex.

Crumbling away.

Not exactly unexpected.

We'd better calculate widening.

We're getting an undercurrent.

Maintain steady.

- No! All engines reverse.
- 'Reverse?'

(Dr. Merrill) 'Vortex is gaining on us,
jomo. We gotta get out of here fast.'

but Mark, muldoon?

[Beeping]

All engines reversed. Hang on.

[Water gushing]

[Panting]

The gate is still
off the runners.

We must try again.
We need your strength.

You push from the top, I
will push from the bottom.

The sluice is collapsing.

Damage control.

- 'All stations ready.'
- 'All engines rolling.'

Dr. Merrill, I'm
fighting control.

We're being sucked back.

'It's like looking down
the bottom of a ski run.'

it's the vortex. Something
punched it wide open.

We're slipping away.

More power.

Here goes nothing.

You've got it all.

Jomo?

Unh-unh.

The engines can't take
the strain for too long.

Suppose we moved laterally?

Underwater tacking.
Good thought.

Easing right rudder.
Thirty degrees.

(Jomo) Forty.

We're making a
little headway. Fifty.

- Reverse direction.
- 'Right rudder.'

'thirty degrees.'

we're... beating it!

(Jomo) Now all we gotta worry
about is for that thing to stop

before we run out of
water to sail home to.

More!

[Laughing]

Muldoon, you're gonna
hate yourself for this.

- More!
- I cannot.

A little more. It
is almost there.

I'm trying.

You want the wheel
turned now, do you?

Now, muldoon, now!

[Laughs]

You guys can't condone
me for anything, can you?

Not even to let you down.

Why did you come back?

(Muldoon) 'I hate to admit it'

but I think I got a
conscience or something.

'I mean, the farther
away from here I got'

the more guilty I felt.

Strange place you
got here, mister.

Plays havoc with a
man's self-esteem.

[Instrumental music]

(Airlock officer) 'Current,
zero. Wider outflow, zero.'

there's nothing out there
but normal everyday ocean.

- Mark's done it.
- How?

They turned that
thing around so fast, I..

Well, he'll tell us

if he ever gets out of there.

(Mark) 'Is something wrong?'

gold. An entirely new vein.

It runs directly
underneath the sluice.

Some dudes have all the luck.

I'll no longer need
water to mine.

'A pick will do the job.'

and it will no
longer be necessary

for anyone to
trespass on your land.

The well. My friends, you
must return to the well now.

What's this? The bum's rush?

Now that the water's
shut off, all connections

to the outside world
will cease to exist.

If you remain here, you'll
be trapped here forever.

No offence to you, old buddy

but I don't think I
could handle that.

You have barely enough time.

Thank you, for everything.

Good fortune.

Whoa! Wait just a
minute. I forgot something.

Muldoon, where are you going?

Gold! I almost forgot the gold.

Leave it. There is no time.

No problem. It's
in these bushes.

It'll take just a second.

It's not here.

It's gotta be here.

- Muldoon.
- 'Wait a minute.'

muldoon!

(Muldoon) 'Ah, there's my gold.'

be right with you, amigo.

Gotta have something
to show for all this trouble.

Mark!

Mark!

Mark.

Mark, wait.

You can't just
leave me here, Mark.

Thark, old buddy,
you can bring it back.

Bring it back.

There's nothing I can do.

Then I've lost everything.

If there was something
I could do, I would do it.

I got nothing left to live for.

There's no people.
There's no civilization.

No cold beer.

No taxes, no laws,
no cops, no jails

no bunco squads,
no none of that.

[Laughs]

Thark..

You know what this is?

No.

Thark, my friend,
I'm about to show you

the greatest game
ever invented by me.

- Now this is a deck of cards.
- Cards?

Yes. Here.

Pick a card.

Any card.

[Instrumental music]

Mark, what happened in there?

You know muldoon.

A term you use
in poker, I believe.

He stayed "Pat" A
few seconds too long.

Is he..

- Dead?
- Yeah.

No, Elizabeth, he's not dead.

I expect in time he will
become quite comfortable there.

Where? Where?

- Excuse me?
- Mark, where is there?

Our instrument showed something
on the other side of the vortex.

'What was it? What was it like?'

I do not have the technical
words to explain it, Elizabeth.

Perhaps thark could.

'Who?'

but of course, there's
no way to reach him.

- Mark...
- Elizabeth, pick a card.

Any card.
