PSI Factor: Chronicles of the Paranormal (1996–2000): Season 1, Episode 6 - Infestation, The/Human Apportation - full transcript

these stories are inspired by the actual

case files of the office of scientific

investigation

and research

yes sir yes there are copy we are five

clicks inside the park

no no sign of them yet uh we'll advise

over corporate

new orders intent no same as when we

started

we'll keep the last civilians bring them



on home first time ever got called up to

locate some lost fly fishers

don't talk about fishing gardner this is

screwing up my whole weekend

all right all right cut the chit chat

let's move out out of sweep formation

sergeant take the point yes sir

you know what's weird no what is weird

corporal

there's no birds this time of day they

should be going full throttle

don't look like fishing tackle to me

over here to cover this perimeter hey

gentlemen spread out



report sergeant what the hell happened

here i don't know sir

looks like they were attacked by some

kind of animal

they're all there

we secure this perimeter sergeant let me

lock it down tight

hold on now mister i'm gonna get you out

of here

go before it comes back

lieutenant whatever did this is gonna be

foreign

jackson fox with me let's move double

diamonds move

oh lord

just take it easy

[Music]

squad fall back now

let's go fall back don't die move

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

one of the joys of living on this planet

is to watch shooting stars streak across

our heavens

meteorites from the depths of space

burning up in our atmosphere

some have collided with earth and caused

massive destruction

there are those who believe a giant

meteor contributed to the ice age

and the extinction of the dinosaurs as

the osir

investigated the horrifying deaths of a

nasa scientific team

they had to determine if the meteorite

in this case had brought with it

an unwanted hitchhiker

yes sir same story here we got five

victims all dead

we've begun evacuation of the entire

park move it

sir i am aware of the threat i lost one

of my men up on that ridge last night

so health is on the way and what's the

eta on this

team of specialists i understand sir

they are to have full authority oh yes i

will liaise with them as soon as they

get here out

lima tango out

come on lieutenant those nasty guys up

there will not fly fishing any more than

these folks were

what the hell is going on here recon up

that road and look for civilian vehicles

they should be here any minute

make sure they get to the roadblocks the

tent sergeant phillips he's dead i know

we all follow orders corporal it's

called chain of command now this

conversation is over

dismissed

yes sir

[Music]

file number 33130 case manager conor

doyle initial log entry

we've been asked by federal authorities

to investigate the mysterious deaths of

a team of nasa scientists

and a member of the arkansas national

guard in the ozark mountains

this mission falls hard on the heels of

our tracking the orbital entry and

impact of a meteorite in the same

general area

professor doyle lieutenant jack bond

with the national guard out of little

rock

welcome to arkansas can you bring us up

to speed as to when this latest attack

occurred

it's about uh 12 hours ago

this brings our body count up to 13

that's the nassau team my squad and now

these people

what exactly attack you lieutenant i

don't know exactly i guess that's why

you're here

i'll tell you one thing though something

hit these folks so hard

they didn't even have time to say a

short prayer

the nasa team that was in the area first

what was their mission

inspection of the meteorite data

collection trajectory match seems like

light duty for nasa

let's just say that this particular

meteorite has government intelligence

watching us close

according to military sources lieutenant

vaughn was under strict orders not to

tell his men what they were looking for

so this was a high security military

operation

connor i'd like to review the

preliminary autopsies just to

see what we can learn i'll start

interviewing the witnesses uh russell

will handle that lindsay i want you to

assist anton

this operation is extremely sensitive i

need my most experienced operatives

spearheading the investigation

and do we have a case objective or is

that high level security as well

identify the phenomenon rectify the

situation that's all for now

what we found it was out there something

tore those people to pieces

and killed phillips in like three

seconds

took him down like a rag doll

you know i i saw action in the gulf

and in bosnia but this was brutal

i never even really saw what took

phillips out but i saw him die

he was a friend of mine

[Music]

the forensic team will conduct a full

autopsy upon their arrival

this is my specialty anton i don't know

the first thing about forensics

then it's about time you learned

the dead sometimes speak more eloquently

than the living

come on over here leave me a hand

what do you see cause of death

massive blood loss i would guess

precisely

that's odd there's punctures inside the

wound that are

smooth something's blocking the trachea

pull this head back come on

[Music]

what on earth is it well it's something

organic

but as to what it is dr cooper will have

to

analyze it

dear god what alex

alex know

[Music]

i met him at a symposium on the genetic

botany in london

last year his specialty is

xenobiology

[Music]

unknown life forms doyle go ahead

it seems that nasa was out there looking

for something a little livelier than a

meteor

they had a team of geneticists with them

you see

anything else air space command and

norad both confirmed tracking the

meteor's entry

but i think they're being a little too

quiet about nasa's involvement anything

from the autopsies

we've pulled something from inside one

of the neck wounds

it's definitely organic we're going to

go back to the lab to run an analysis

copy that maintain contact we're closing

in on the impact site

doil out

i'm reading a lot of air moisture no tox

traces or hazmat yet

stay sharp keep an eye on the motion

sensors

we've arrived at point of impact

expedite the scans peter this place

isn't secure copy that it feels like a

different planet

what the hell are those things cooper

can you identify them it appears to be

an embryonic shell

of some kind shape and consistency

unlike anything i've seen before

connor you better take a look at this

these must be the eggs themselves you

picking all this up

loud and clear peter i got a bad feeling

about this

we'll need a sample

we have movement 500 meters southeast

and closing

moving closer rapid life-form movement

closing in from the southeast

any visuals negative

we'll switch to thermal vision and try

and get a lock on it sound

thermal tracking online professor move

your people back peter what's going on

yeah we're reading lifeboards they're

closing fast we're trying to get a lock

on thermal

this is doyle prepare to move back on my

command

just give him a few more seconds connor

hold your positions

whoa what was that what's happening

like a movement in the north now peter

something just went through the scan

fall back

repeat

scandal report what do you see

[Applause]

what the hell was that

oh god

peter what happened scandalous russell

peter there was nothing you could do

it wasn't your mistake

it was mine we have a job to do

scanlan and russell knew that now let's

get back to work

lindsay i want you to analyze the

on-site footage and prepare a report

we need to know what happened out there

okay back it up

back it up and now

freeze that that's it whatever it is

that appears to be some kind of barb

left behind after the physical attack

perhaps a

feeder tube and it's related to this

embryo it seems likely it's composed of

the same organic matter

common to heterotroph parasites an

insect ache

oh well i i don't know that i'm ready to

make that conclusion

yet the hell hit us out there i really

don't know

you get anything from the psych

assessments some post-traumatic stress

typical across the board disorder is

nothing unusual maybe you can pry some

more details from the witnesses

start with peter put him under

[Music]

peter i want you to relax

i want you to go back to yesterday

to where the meteor came down sorry

i want you to freeze the image of that

creature in your mind you're safe

and i want you to describe to me exactly

what you see

in the most specific detail

insect wingless connor you better come

look at this

obviously i've been detecting rhythmic

vibrations coming from within the embryo

the surface tension and interior

temperature rising as well

what's happening to it i don't know life

form readings are increasing

is it hatching

i really don't know it's hard to say

with an unknown life form

[Music]

well it does appear to be an insect of

some kind

an insect that big

cooper what are you doing co2

that should tranquilize it for a few

minutes

siphon after my norris

incredible my latin's a bit rusty

well believe it or not

it's a close genetic cousin to a flea

that's a flea wow a mutation of one at

any rate

how big could it get once it matures

well

insects of this class usually grow to

20 sometimes 30 times their birth weight

i think we found our life for i'm

inclined to agree

look this is peter's description

sketched out how many eggs did we find

out there

several dozen most of them already

hatched what might be the possible rate

of reproduction

well normally 10 adult females could

produce

100 000 eggs in under 30 days let's put

a team together to assemble some

first-hand data full security hardware

case log update having determined that

the life form we're looking for may be a

mutated or possibly extraterrestrial

insect

we're returning to the impact site

comm link check donna do you copy copy i

have you on my screens

cracker jack freon guns you got ain't

gonna be any good when they come at you

we'll take our chances

probably what them science geek said for

they got wasted too all right platoon

hall

doyle this is as far as the platoon goes

lieutenant your orders are i know my

order sir but i will not repeat not send

these boys into a situation they can't

handle

me gardner i'll go the rest of the way

with you damn right

send your men back then let's press on

all right platoon

fall back let's move out safety's off

just come here in daylight the whole

battalion night is when this type of

insect lies dormant

theoretically doc there's nothing

dormant about this bug

cover this side don are you getting this

affirmative you guys

better see this

cooper careful

it's dead

look at the size of the epipharynx

incredibly efficient don are you getting

this too

yeah affirmative that's a nasty piece of

work

what killed it possibly it's mate

which would mean that more reproduction

is underway

[Music]

leave it everyone fall back

do you want to end up like scaling and

russell move

go go

nobody moves

[Music]

[Music]

cooper we need a way out of here connor

this is their breeding ground we're

cutting them off from their nests

everybody move forward very

slowly yeah sure no problem

i'm just gonna take this little guy in

the name of science

final case log entry after discovering

the magnitude of the infestation the

authorities have ordered the termination

of the life form encountered

the region has been evacuated widespread

airstrikes have been implemented

[Music]

where did these deadly creatures come

from were they cosmic stowaways

were they a mutated form of insect

affected by radiation from the fallen

space rock

or were they a grotesque and deadly

prehistoric species

unearthed by the meteorites collision

well if the latter is true

then who knows what else may rest

beneath the surface of our soil

waiting to grow under the light of our

nurturing sun

i think it's all right it's just some of

the cases are broken

that's that's all even it fellas

okay guys we're gonna have to ask you to

turn down the music oh come on man i

just finished mike

oh well there are some people who

haven't finished their exam

come on guys take it inside okay we

gotta be quiet now

[Music]

finally listen what did you get for the

last question in chapter seven

if i tell you this time are you gonna

remember it you asked me the same

question four hours ago god i hate

quantum mechanics

no i hate all physics well after

tomorrow you won't have to think about

it

until next year i gotta get some

caffeine

[Music]

jake

where am i dimensional portholes

enabling matter to move instantly from

one place to another great distances

apart

have been frequently exploited by

science fiction writers

unproven by existing technological means

the concept remains possible

if one considers super string theory but

for a stressed

out single mother angela corby and her

seven-year-old daughter sabine

encountering a dimensional rift became

much more than a mere

theoretical possibility it became a

disturbing reality

which would ultimately change their

lives forever and involve the office of

scientific investigation and research

file number 87105 case manager conor

doyle day one

we're launching an investigation of the

mysterious appearance of one angela

corbay

she claims to have been in her home in

eureka california one second and then in

toronto ontario the next

thanks for coming so soon where is she

now well the police are keeping her here

pending charges of trespassing and for

the safety of her daughter

we discovered two students uh howard

samick and

james mcnaughton check out their story

right i just wish someone would make a

decision about what we're supposed to do

we'll do all we can to help i want you

to handle the preliminary interview but

take it slow right excuse me

well this must be angela

and sabine you're another shrink

ah i am

i'm dr anton hendricks i'm here to help

i already told the cops everything and

they don't believe you

all i want to do is take my daughter and

go home

why don't you tell me what happened look

i was at home with sabine one minute and

the next i'm here

in another city under arrest and they're

charging me with trespassing

is that what you were doing i was making

supper at home and then

a doorway and

[Music]

i don't know

we had to charge her with trespassing i

mean

we asked her to move along peacefully

she was extremely resistant

couldn't calm her down she finally said

her name was angela corbay

from eureka california she couldn't

explain how she got to toronto

how she got into the men's residence she

doesn't know so we just took her to

university hospital

had her checked out by a psychiatrist

she presented signs of shock from

psychological trauma

paranoia bordering on hysteria at first

for my brief session with her my opinion

is she's not unstable

whatever happened to her was very

disturbing for her even terrifying

later i checked for the california

department of motor vehicles a woman by

the name of angela corby

does live in eureka california

you figure it out would you like to tell

me the story

about how you got here okay

good so you were at home

and you're watching tv then what

happened

the door opened the front door

what door the one to the sunlight

[Music]

did you go through this door

with mommy and now we were here

so i'm standing here like getting a pop

and then i turn around and poof

right where you are here yeah exactly i

mean i thought that they came in through

the door

but that couldn't have happened hallie

because i would have seen them

and how much time elapsed between the

time you went over there in the time

that they appeared

in like six seconds max and the door was

locked yeah it's like that uh heisenberg

uncertainty principle well i don't know

how much the uncertainty is really

relevant here in the macroscopic world

there was a party that night were you

there no we were studying look i know

everyone thinks we're lying but i am

telling you

there is no normal way she could have

got in here

according to the desk monitor on duty

howard and james were in their room

studying from 5 pm onward

at around 10 15 pm they showed up

and no one matching their description

had entered the building we need to rule

out the possibility that this was a

staged event

could they have gotten here this fast by

any other means

i've run westmatt central scan interpol

and cis

all airline bookings bus train even car

rental companies

nobody has an angela corby traveling on

or around the date in question

she could have traveled under an alias

possibly although

immigration has no record of anyone

matching their description well if she's

perpetrating no hoax how does she expect

a benefit

it could be some ruse to attract public

sympathy

let's see what dr hendricks gets from

his assessments

all right all right are you comfortable

i guess okay we're going to begin

i'm going to ask you some questions i

know they're going to seem rather

obvious but i just want you to give me

the most direct answers

is your name angela kobe yes do you live

at 342 light-born crescent in eureka

california

yes

do you have any living relatives just

sabine and my sister mary

is mary your twin no she's five years

older

what do you do for a living angela i'm a

secretary

in an accounting firm in eureka are you

married

divorced why is that because i threw him

out

he was no good for me or sabine what

does any of this have to do with how i

got here

we're trying to understand you better

please i know you're under a great deal

of stress dr hendricks i want to take my

daughter home

all of the questioning in the world

isn't going to make that happen

you and sabine are free to go whenever

you like it's entirely up to you

can you find out what happened to us

that's what we're trying to do but i'm

gonna have to ask you to be patient

right now all we're doing is assessing

your psychological profile

you and sabine are in good hands i

promise you that my psychological

profile

i'm tired i'm confused and i'm sick

of being treated as though i'm a liar i

don't think you're a liar what do you

think

i think that you and your daughter went

through something extremely traumatic

something that's very real to you it was

real i'm not saying it wasn't

you both experienced an event something

something that defies conventional

understanding perhaps

[Music]

i can help you deal with that but you're

gonna have to trust me

can you do that

i'll try my best

she's not consciously lying to us she

seems utterly convinced of her story

do you agree with the university

psychiatrist assessment some elevated

stress levels but otherwise she's cogent

makes sense if you believe her

that must be donna reporting in from

eureka

well we've started the preliminary

inspection of the corbei house

and i've also talked to the neighbors

and the subject's sister mary

now that interview should be downloading

as we speak

i don't know i i phoned angel about 7pm

and we only talked for about 10 minutes

she was making sabine some dinner

i was supposed to babysit and i was

going to be a bit late

because she had to go and take her class

so i phoned her a half hour later there

was no answer

so i just i just went or went over

it was weird it was food burning the

television was still on but

no sign of angela or sabine i called

school friends i called the workplace

and then the police nothing

then finally at about 10 pm i get a call

from the police in toronto it's

strange i don't know what's going on

it's weird did you get that

yeah thanks lindsay good work i'll keep

monitoring the site

uh the next transmission will be in 12

hours

so someone moves halfway across the

continent in a blink of an eye you want

to tell me how that's possible

try progressing her see if she remembers

a few more details

angela can you hear me

yes i want you to go back in time

to may 5th two days ago

it's 7 p.m where are you

at home in the kitchen

my sisters just told me to say hello

what are you doing

drinking imperial chinese chicken

sweet's favorite

i have jury to get to my class

where's sabine watching tv

in the living room

dinner's almost ready

[Music]

a breeze a small

gust of wind where's the wind coming

from

the living room

[Music]

the light so bright

sabine no sabine don't sabine

don't

[Music]

what about the trespassing charges on

angela headquarters had them dropped to

assist our investigation

that's convenient i think the university

wants this one off their books

what are your results from the

environmental scan of the dormitory

we've found nothing

your conclusions from the hypnosis i

believe angela carpe

experienced something quite traumatic no

matter what the outcome of this

investigation this woman is going to

need counseling

i don't think she understands what has

happened to her

any more than we do so we're still at

square one

let's move the entire investigation to

the source take a closer look at where

this phenomenon may have initially taken

place

[Music]

case file update day six so far initial

environmental scans of the core bay

house have turned up normal baseline

readings

we're preparing angela and her daughter

for real-time biomonitoring scans in

conjunction with uninterrupted

surveillance of perhaps

geothermal and geomagnetic environmental

scans all negative

nothing nothing it just doesn't make

sense

you know if what she said actually

happened there'd be some

residue some traces of electromagnetic

radiation something

i know i got something here for you

sabine

now they're a little bit sticky you know

what hurt won't hurt their one

stay still honey let the man do his job

two

how long will this last until we can

determine the nature of the events you

described

what exactly are you looking for well

anything out of the ordinary in the

environment or in your own bodies

you mean we could have caused this to

happen we can't rule that out

if it happens again your vital signs

will be recorded they can offer us a

clue as the kinds of things that might

be at work here

now but don't worry if anything should

happen we'll be inside

as soon as possible to help you and

sabine

case log update the team has spent the

requisite period of 168 hours logging

bio feedback from angela and her

daughter as well as keeping the house

under continuous surveillance

we'll continue on-site monitoring for a

second week

the possible mainly actually exists that

it does

all right it's been nearly two weeks

what do we have uh nothing quite yet

there's no government weapons testing in

the area there's no stray energy fields

what about the environmental experiments

uh we tried practically everything

electrostatic fields uh altering the

atmospheric conditions to various

extremes hot

cold differing the humidity levels still

no evidence

uh afraid not all right

if any of you have any theories now's

the time to put them on the table

anyone peter may have one

oh thanks a lot um it's uh

it's kind of out there let's hear it

i think we may be dealing with some form

of apportation

instantaneous movement through physical

space one moment you're in california

and then boom you're in canada the

question is how

i have a couple of hypotheses the first

of which being

psychokinetic apportation angela and or

sabine

may be subconsciously accessing

psychokinetic energy that is strong

enough to transport them across the

continent

but peter neither of them have exhibited

any pk ability you're right

so we go to the second hypothesis if the

energy responsible wasn't internal

then it had to be external i.e some

concentrated flux in the space-time

continuum

you're talking about the fabric of space

being

bent that's right a conduit

forming between two distant points

a wormhole now can i prove it

i'll give it a little more time peter

as if today you don't have anything

these are hypotheses hypotheses need

testing

i recommend we scale back the

investigation pull out

maintain periodic contact with the

subjects why

well you said it yourself there's no

hard evidence only testimony

a witness's testimony is evidence

i know

let's close up shop tomorrow

first thing

what are you going to tell angela so

that's it

we have no choice angela we found

nothing you still think i'm lying don't

you

no no we don't what if it happens again

this could have been a one-time

occurrence and if you're wrong angela

look we've tried everything believe me

yeah you're right

i guess it still just scares me if

there's an emergency you know how to

reach us

and we'll keep regular contact with you

over the next six months

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Applause]

file number 87105 log supplement case

manager conor doyle

we've maintained periodic contact with

angela over the past two months

we became concerned when she didn't

check in over a two-week period

and repeated attempts to contact or

failed investigator donner was

dispatched to personally re-establish

contact

[Music]

that's it that's all i know

the neighbors all say the same thing two

weeks ago they woke up to find the house

gone

no one saw or heard a thing no contact

with angela or her daughter

which means they either saw nothing or

they're too afraid to talk well they're

certainly anxious

and defensive whether from

fear of the unknown or some

outside intimidation is difficult to

determine what about her sister i sent a

team over to her apartment

it's empty no sign of her at all

well there's definitely been some heavy

machinery here but uh

neither the department of works or the

state development commission has issued

any permits for demolition on the site

what exactly did you find uh industrial

grade tire trucks probably

caterpillar couple of flatbeds about two

weeks old and no one's talking about it

professor doyle operations is calling

you on a secure line

i don't know what do you think they want

nothing would surprise me

boil here professor doyle i'm responding

to your request for additional research

and personnel

unfortunately we can proceed no further

i see

[Applause]

headquarters wants us to terminate the

investigation what

why no explanation given

you're watching dvd then what happened

the door opened final case log entry

we've been unable to determine what

happened to angela mary and sabine

corbett

the traces left at the site of the home

remain unexamined as per your express

instructions

this investigation has been terminated

conor doyle

out did you

go through the storm

with mommy and now we are here

the osir never saw these subjects again

the cause of what occurred to angela

corby and her daughter could not be

determined conclusively

their journey from california to toronto

without any known material conveyance

and the subsequent permanent

disappearance of angela her sister and

sabine

is only one small yet tragic example of

the mysteries in this infinite universe

we share

i'm dan aykroyd for sci factor
