Anton inexplicably reappears, but he's now dying from the arch's effects. Matt suspects that Elsinger knows more than he's admitting.
PREVIOUSLY ON PSI FACTOR.
*
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS WIFE
AND DAUGHTER, ANYWAY?
THEY WERE AT
A RAILROAD CROSSING,
A TRUCK LOST CONTROL
AND REAR ENDED THEM
FORCING THEM INTO
THE SIDE OF A MOVING TRAIN.
OH MY GOD.
NO TRACE OF THEM
HAS EVER BEEN FOUND.
BREAKFAST SHOULD BE READY
ANY TIME.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH.
CATHERINE?
NICOLE?
DARLING,
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT.
I KNOW YOU NEVER GAVE UP HOPE.
DADDY, IT'S COLD IN HERE.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
WHY ARE YOU
SO LATE?
DON'T WORRY.
DADDY,
HELP US.
THERE'S NOTHING
TO BE AFRAID OF.
ANTON, ANTON, WAIT.
HOW DO WE GET ANTON BACK?
MAYBE WE DON'T.
*
IT SEEMS FITTING THAT WE'RE
STANDING HERE AT A CROSSROADS,
WHERE PEOPLE TRAVEL PAST
ALL THE TIME.
THEY COME AND THEY GO.
JUST AS THE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES
COME AND GO.
ANTON INSPIRED US
WITH HIS HUMILITY,
WITH HIS HUMOUR
AND WITH HIS INFINITE CAPACITY
FOR CARING.
HE MADE ME WANT TO BE
A BETTER PERSON.
I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
3 MONTHS AGO
WHEN WE LOST HIM,
WE NOT ONLY LOST
A COLLEAGUE,
WE LOST A MENTOR
AND WE LOST
A GREAT, GREAT FRIEND.
*
*
*
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
CLEAR TRAUMA 4!
I.C.U. ROOM 3,
WHERE IS IT?
JUST THERE, BUT HE'S NOT ALLOWED
ANY VISITORS.
ANTON?
*
*
ELEOA, WE7LA3AoS
AN O.S.I.R. INVESTIGATOR
CLINGS TO LIFE,
QUESTIONS ARE RAISED:
CAN LOVE
EXTEND BEYOND CONSCIOUSNESS?
CAN IT REACH BEYOND THE BOUNDS
OF SPACE AND TIME?
AS FAR AS ANOTHER PLANE
OF EXISTENCE?
AND DO OUR DECEASED LOVED ONES
WATCH OVER US?
WOULD THEY TOUCH US
IF THEY COULD?
WHO BROUGHT HIM
IN HERE?
HOW'D HE GET HERE?
I DON'T KNOW;
I JUST CAME ON.
WHO CAN TELL ME?
PLEASE LOWER
YOUR VOICE.
EXCUSE ME.
ARE YOU FAMILY?
NO.
HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY.
WE'RE HIS FRIENDS.
DID YOU ADMIT HIM?
NO, WHEN I CAME ON THIS MORNING
HE WAS ALREADY HERE.
HE WAS A WALK-IN
DOWN IN THE E.R.
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE CAN BREATHE
FOR HIMSELF, LET ALONE WALK.
MAYBE HE WAS DUMPED
BY ANOTHER HOSPITAL.
HAPPENS SOMETIMES.
LOOK,
NO ONE SAW HOW HE GOT HERE
BUT WE'RE CHECKING INTO IT.
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH HIM?
WHY IS HE
HOOKED UP TO THAT?
THIS IS
A POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATOR.
HE HAS STSTAGNANT HYPOXIA;
IT'S AN OXYGEN DEFICIENCY.
CAUSED BY?
WELL, HE MAY HAVE BEEN
SOME PLACE VERY COLD,
OR SUSPENDED WITHOUT MOVEMENT
FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME.
ANY IDEAS?
IS HE GONNA
BE ALRIGHT?
WE'VE GOT HIM ON VERSED
TO EASE THE DISCOMFORT
OF THE VENTILATOR.
WE'RE TAKING THINGS
ONE STEP AT A TIME.
HE SAY ANYTHING
BEFORE YOU PUT THAT TUBE IN HIM?
NO.
NOT A WORD.
HERE ARE
HIS EFFECTS.
GREAT,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
LET'S SEE
WHAT WE'VE GOT.
WHOA.
ANTON'S COMLINK.
HE WAS WEARING IT
WHEN HE DISAPPEARED IN THE ARCH.
I WONDER
WHERE THE REST OF IT IS.
MAYBYBE
WHERE HE RE-ENTERED.
PETER?
WHERE IS HE?
CAN I SEE HIM?
HOW DID YOU KNOW
HE WAS HERE?
WE JUST
GOT THIS CALL.
*
*
DON'T EVER
DO THAT AGAIN.
HE'S HERE.
YOUR FRIEND IS HERE
IN THE I.C.U.
WHO IS THIS?
YOUR MISSING FRIEND'S
COME BACK.
HE NEEDS YOUR HELP.
WHO IS THIS, PLEASE?
LARKSPUR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
I'M GONNA TRY AND CLEAN IT UP;
SEE IF I CAN GET A VOICE PRINT.
DID WE GET THE TRACE?
A PAY PHONE IN THE E.R., CENTRAL
LAB PATCHED IT TO MY CELL.
GOOD,
THAT'S A START.
IS THAT ANY GOOD?
YEAH,
FOR WALLPAPER PASTE.
UM--
IT JUST
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
IF THE CALLER
HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE,
WHY BRING ANTON
TO A PUBLIC HOSPITAL?
I KNOW WHEN I CHECKED
THE HOSPITAL SURVEILLANCE TAPES,
THEY'RE LOST.
THAT'S CONVENIENT.
WHAT IF ANTON--
WHAT IF HE APPORTED
RIGHT INTO THE HOSPITAL; NO ONE
WOULD HAVE SEEN HIM COME IN.
YOU DON'T THINK
SOMEONE WOULD HAVE SPOTTED HIM
"BEAMING IN"
FROM NOWHERE?
WHERE ARE
YOUR PRIORITIES?
1st WE GET ANTON HEALTHY, THEN
WE FIGURE OUT HOW HE GOT HERE.
WOW.
YOU'RE SINGING
A NEW TUNE.
I CAN'T SIT AROUND
WAITING FOR ANSWERS.
I WANT ANTON TO GET BETTER,
OF COURSE, BUT I NEED TO KNOW.
IF WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS GOING
ON MAYBE WE COULD HELP HIM.
ALRIGHT LOOK,
ANTON STEPS INTO THE ARCH,
HE DISAPPEARS--
AND HE COMES OUT
SOME PLACE ELSE.
COULD SOMEONE HAVE TAKEN YOUR
WORK ON THE ARCH AND ADAPTED IT?
MY RESEARCH IS ON FILE
AT THE CENTRAL LAB--
IT'D HAVE TO BE--
SOMEONE INSIDE
THE O.S.I.R.
EXCUSE ME,
DR. THOMAS?
HOW IS HE TODAY?
HE'S STILL HYPOXIC,
I'M AFRAID.
BUT HE IS AWAKE.
HE'S AWAKE?
YES.
ANTON?
NO, DON'T TRY
AND TALK.
IT'S OKAY,
YOU'RE IN HOSPITAL.
OKAY.
HERE YOU GO.
CATHERINE?
HIS WIFE.
I THOUGHT
HE HAD NO RELATIVES.
SHE PASSED AWAY
12 YEARS AGO.
SO DID HIS DAUGHTER.
ANTON, ANTON,
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
*
MATTHEW.
FRANK.
WE MISSED YOU
AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE.
YES, I WISH
I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
WHEN DID THIS BECOME
AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION?
DON'T YOU THINK
IT SHOULD BE?
I THINK YOU SHOULD ARRANGE
TO HAVE THE MOBILE LAB RETURNED.
SURE FRANK,
SOON AS I FINISH USING IT
TO SAVE ANTON'S LIFE.
I'M HAVING HIM TRANSFERRED
TO A PRIVATE CLINIC.
LEMME GUESS,
CLASSIFIED LOCATION?
SOME PLACE WE CAN'T ASK HIM
TOO MANY QUESTIONS.
NO, A PLACE WHERE HE'LL GET
THE VERY BEST CARE.
WE BOTH WANT THAT,
DON'T WE?
I'M
DR. CLAIRE DAVISON.
DR. ERIC THOMAS.
I'M ANTON'S
PERSONAL PHYSICIAN.
DO YOU MIND?
HYPOXIA?
HIS LIVIDITY'S
MORE PINK THAN BLUE.
THAT'S STRANGE.
I'D LIKE TO DRAW SOME BLOOD, RUN
SOME TESTS, IF THAT'S ALRIGHT.
ALL THE PRELIMINARY BLOOD WORK
HAS BEEN DONE.
DO YOU
HAVE PRIVILEGES HERE?
NO.
YOU SEE,
ANTON HAS BEEN THROUGH
SOMETHING VERY--
UNUSUAL.
SUCH AS?
IT'S RATHER DIFFICULT
TO EXPLAIN.
I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE
IF I COULD EXAMINE HIM MYSELF.
FOR A PATIENT
WHO HAS NO RELATIVES,
HE CERTAINLY HAS
A LOT OF FRIENDS.
I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE ALL LOOKING OUT
FOR HIS BEST INTERESTS,
DOCTOR.
EXCUSE ME.
DR. THOMAS,
CARDIAC DISTRESS,
TRAUMA 6.
ANTON.
WHEN I WAS 8,
I STOLE SOME GUM
FROM BECKER'S.
MY FATHER MADE ME TAKE IT BACK,
ADMIT WHAT I'D DONE
AND APOLOGIZE.
I NEVER STOLE AGAIN--
UNTIL TODAY.
HAVE YOU FINISHED
THE TESTS?
YEAH.
DR. THOMAS SAID
THAT HE WAS HYPOXIC.
BUT HYPOXIC BLOOD
APPEARS DARK,
ALMOST BLACK.
THAT LOOKS
CHERRY-RED TO ME.
WHAT IS IT?
NORMALLY, BLOOD CARRIES CARBON
DIOXIDE BACK TO THE LUNGS.
IN ANTON'S CASE,
BEFORE
IT CAN BE EXHALED
ONE OXYGEN ATOM
IS FALLING AWAY.
SO, INSTEAD
OF CARBON DIOXIDE,
HIS BLOOD IS PRODUCING
CARBON MONOXIDE.
HIS OWN BLOOD
IS POISONING HIM?
AND C.O. ACCUMULATES.
AT THE RATE
THAT I'M SEEING HERE--
HOW LONG HAS HE GOT?
I'VE NEVER SEEN
C.O. CREATED INTERNALLY BEFORE.
UNLESS WE CAN FIND--
HOW LONG?
A WEEK.
NO.
PROBABLY LESS.
IT'S OKAY, ANTON.
CLAIRE'S
TAKING CARE OF YOU NOW.
I'M GONNA REMOVE THE TUBE,
OKAY?
I WANT YOU
TO EXHALE, HARD.
READY?
NOW.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
BREATHE ANTON!
DEEP BREATHS!
STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
FORCED OXYGEN WAS KILLING HIM
FASTER THAN ROOM AIR.
WHAT--
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IT'S OKAY,
SHH, IT'S ALRIGHT.
YOU'RE GOING
BEFORE THE BOARD.
I'M ARRANGING PRIVILEGES
WITH YOUR CHIEF OF STAFF.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE GOT
A DISPENSATION FROM THE POPE.
STAY OFF MY WARD.
I AM LEAVING.
DON'T LEAVE HIM ALONE.
GRADUALLY, HIS MIND
WILL BECOME CLOUDY.
HE'LL GROW
INCREASINGLY DISORIENTED
AND DISTRESSED.
WHEN THE OXYGEN LEVEL
REACHING HIS BRAIN
DEPLETES
TO A CRITICAL STAGE,
HE'LL SLIP INTO A COMA
AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT--
ASSUMING WE CAN'T TREAT
THE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
IF IT WAS COMING
FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE,
THEN WE COULD.
BUT
SELF C.O. POISONING
IS UNHEARD OF.
AND I CAN'T HELP ANTON
IF THEY WON'T LET ME SEE HIM.
HAVE YOU TALKED
TO HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION?
TWICE, ALREADY.
BUT I HAVE SOME OTHER STRINGS
TO PULL, EXCUSE ME.
LOOK,
ANTON'S PROBLEMS
ARE MORE
THAN PHYSICAL.
IT HAS TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE APPORTATION.
WE KNOW
THAT PHONE CALL
CAME FROM SOMEONE
INSIDE THE O.S.I.R.
IF I WERE YOU,
I WOULDN'T BE TALKING TO ANYBODY
RIGHT ABOUT NOW.
AS FAR AS
ELSINGER'S CONCERNED,
IF HE DIDN'T USE
MY RESEARCH HIMSELF,
I BET THE FARM
HE KNOWS WHO DID.
HE'S STILL THE SAME.
LINDSAY?
I DON'T KNOW
WHO TO TRUST.
YOU'VE BEEN KNOWN
TO MAKE ANONYMOUS CALLS BEFORE,
SO I'VE GOT TO ASK.
DID YOU
MAKE THAT CALL?
NO.
BUT GIVEN THE CHANCE
I WOULD HAVE.
FAIR ENOUGH.
I COULDN'T FIND THEM
IN THERE.
ANTON?
ANTON?
IT'S OKAY,
IT'S ALRIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE?
HOSPITAL.
DO YOU KNOW
WHO I AM?
NICOLE,
YOU'VE GROWN SOME.
OH,
YOU'RE NOT MY DAUGHTER.
LINDSAY.
LINDSAY.
RIGHT.
WELCOME BACK,
ANTON.
MATT.
YOU STILL OWE ME
20 DOLLARS.
ANTON,
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED?
I WAS STANDING
IN FRONT OF THE ARCH.
CATHERINE AND NICOLE
WERE INSIDE.
I WENT TO THEM.
THEY WERE CLOSE,
BUT I COULDN'T
TOUCH THEM.
THEY WERE FRIGHTENED,
BUT I COULDN'T
HELP THEM.
I REACHED OUT--
THEN I WOKE UP
IN HERE.
I NEED
TO GO BACK TO THEM.
PLEASE.
*
CLEANING OUT
THE ATTIC?
NO, IT'S THE FILES FROM THE
DISAPPEARANCE OF ANTON'S FAMILY.
THAT'S WAS THE CAR
THEY WERE
SEEN IN LAST.
WHERE ARE
THE ATMOSPHERIC REPORTS?
THERE'S STUFF MISSING.
INCLUDING ALL THE LOGS.
WHO WAS
THE CASE MANAGER?
BEFORE MY TIME.
I DON'T GET THIS.
ANTON CLAIMS
HE SAW THEM IN THE ARCH.
THAT WAS JUST AN ILLUSION
TO LURE HIM IN.
MAYBE IT WASN'T.
HURRY UP;
BRING THE JAWS!
I'M A DOCTOR,
CAN I HELP?
I DON'T KNOW.
DUMP TRUCK HIT THEM,
PUSHED THEM INTO THE TRAIN.
WE'RE STILL TRYING
TO GET THEM OUT.
WE WILL
GET YOU OUT.
JUST HANG ON A LITTLE LONGER,
ALRIGHT?
CAN YOU HEAR ME;
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
IF YOU CAN HEAR ME,
STAY STILL.
DON'T MOVE,
WE'LL HELP YOU.
OH MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
THAT'S MY WIFE'S CAR--
MY DAUGHTER--
CATHERINE,
NICOLE!
GOD!
GET HIM OFF.
NO!
CATHERINE!
NICOLE!
KEEP HIM BACK!
NICOLE!
YOU HAVE
TO STAY BACK.
CATHERINE!
NICOLE!
THEY'RE GONE!
OH, MY GOD!
OH, MY GOD!
CATHERINE.
NICKY.
GET OVER HERE,
QUICK!
CATHERINE!
NICKY!
CATHERINE!
WHERE ARE YOU?
ANTON?
WHAT IS IT;
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHAT IS IT?
CAN I HAVE A LOOK?
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
I DON'T KNOW.
*
4 CRACKED RIBS.
THEY LOOK FRESH; THEY SHOULD
HAVE BEEN ON ANTON'S CHART.
WHAT COULD HAVE
CAUSED THEM?
AT HIS AGE,
A FALL, A MAJOR IMPACT TRAUMA
OF SOME KIND.
WHY DIDN'T DR. THOMAS
TELL US ABOUT THEM?
SAME REASON HE NEGLECTED
TO MENTION THE C.O. POISONING.
THAT'S 2 STRIKES.
HE DOESN'T GET
A 3rd.
DR. ADLER, HEMATOLOGY.
DR. ADLER, HEMATOLOGY.
HEY!
*
WAIT!
STOP HIM!
HEY, STOP THAT GUY!
HEY!
*
DAMMIT!
WHO WAS HE?
I WASN'T THERE.
THE MAN
WITH THE GOATEE.
I SAW YOU 2
WALTZING TOGETHER
ON THE MENDOZA CASE.
ARE YOU SURE
IT WAS HIM?
KEEP HIM AWAY
FROM ANTON.
WHY?
WHO IS HE?
MILITARY;
I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME.
HE'S WHY YOU WANTED US
TO BACK OFF.
DR. THOMAS,
IS HE MILITARY, TOO?
I WOULDN'T KNOW;
ASK HIM YOURSELF.
I WOULD IF I COULD FIND HIM, BUT
HE'S NOT ANSWERING HIS PAGES.
DR. DAVISON'S BEEN AWARDED
FULL HOSPITAL PRIVILEGES.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
IF ANYTHING YOU KNOW CAN SAVE
ANTON AND YOU'RE NOT TELLING US,
I SWEAR TO GOD, I'LL--
WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO KNOW?
IS THERE ANY CONNECTION
BETWEEN THE ARCH
AND WHAT HAPPENED
TO ANTON'S FAMILY
BACK IN 1986?
I WANT TO TALK
TO THE ORIGINAL CASE MANAGER.
NO,
HE CAN'T HELP YOU.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE IT WAS ME.
*
THESE ARE 3 OF THE SCIENTIST
WHO WALKED INTO THE ARCH.
THEY WERE ALL FOUND
WITHIN
THE LAST 2 WEEKS.
DR. NEIL ALFRED
WAS DISCOVERED
IN VICTORIA.
DANIEL HADFIELD
IN GENEVA.
AND LUCY SYLVESTER IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.
LONG SWIM HOME.
THOSE SITES HAVE THE STRONGEST
MAGNETIC FIELDS ON THE PLANET.
YES, YOUR RESEARCH DID POINT US
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
GLAD I COULD BE OF HELP.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW,
FRANK?
THEY ALL DIED
WITHIN A WEEK.
FROM THE SAME CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING AS ANTON?
YES.
WE THOUGHT THAT
IF WE COULD REPRODUCE
THE CONDITIONS OF HENDRICKS
FAMILY'S DISAPPEARANCE
EXACTLY,
THAT WE MAY BE ABLE
TO OPEN ANOTHER PORTAL
AND BRING THEM BACK.
SO, WE POSITIONED
THE REMAINS
OF THE CAR
IN THE PRECISE LOCATION
IT HAD BEEN DESTROYED
12 YEARS BEFORE.
YOU'D HAVE TO CHARGE AN E.M.
FIELD; WHERE'D YOU GET POWER?
INSTEAD OF COLLISION FRICTION
WE USED HEAT AND INFRARED LIGHT.
SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU WERE TRYING
TO DO WITH YOUR RESEARCH.
THEN WE FLIPPED A SWITCH
AND WE WAITED.
AND ANTON
JUST APPEARED
IN THE BACK SEAT.
THE INTENSE
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
DESTROYED
THE VIDEO RECORD
FROM THAT POINT ON.
WHAT ABOUT CATHERINE
AND NICOLE, FRANK?
NO.
HE'S HERE.
ALRIGHT, LET'S TRY THIS.
HE'S HERE; HE'S HERE, HE'S HERE.
HE'S HERE; HE'S HERE, HE'S HERE.
NOW WE'RE
GETTING SOMEWHERE.
HE'S HERE; YOUR FRIEND IS HERE.
HE'S IN THE I.C.U.
HE'S HERE;
YOUR FRIEND IS HERE.
HE'S IN THE I.C.U.
CURTIS,
GOOD OF YOU TO COME.
WHERE'S ANTON?
HE'S IN THE I.C.U.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
JUST TELL US WHERE HE WAS?
I NEEDED TO STAY ON THE INSIDE
AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
BUT ANTON WAS SICK.
HE NEEDED HELP.
YOU SHOULD HAVE
TRUSTED US.
I TOOK A BIG ENOUGH RISK
BRINGING HIM TO A HOSPITAL.
HOW COULD YOU USE MY RESEARCH
WITHOUT ME?
I SHOULD HAVE
BEEN AT THE SITE.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT'S ABOUT ANTON.
NO HARD FEELINGS.
*
HELLO DARLING,
YOU OLD FLEABAG.
A GIRLFRIEND WITH 8 LEGS,
THAT HAS POSSIBILITIES.
YOU'RE DISGUSTING.
*
THIS IS HOT.
IT'S STILL MAGNETIZED.
OH, YEAH.
THE REST
OF ANTON'S COMLINK.
ANTON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT
WHEN HE RE-ENTERED, RIGHT?
YEAH.
THERE'S NOT
ENOUGH ROOM.
IT MUST BE
HOW HE BROKE HIS RIBS.
THIS CAN'T BE ANTON'S;
THERE'S TOO MUCH.
HE DIDN'T
COME BACK ALONE.
HERE'S A FIRST,
YOU LIED TO US.
I HAD NO CHOICE.
I'M LISTENING.
FOR 12 YEARS I'VE SEARCHED
FOR CATHERINE AND NICOLE.
THERE WAS SO MUCH
THEY COULD HAVE TOLD US.
THEY COULD HAVE
ANSWERED QUESTIONS
THAT WE DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW HOW TO ASK.
BUT NOW--
CATHERINE HENDRICKS
CAME BACK WITH ANTON.
SHE HASN'T PHYSICALLY AGED
A DAY IN 12 YEARS.
UM--
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?
I WANTED TO CONTAIN
ANY POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS.
YOUR MILITARY PAL.
HE WANTS HER
DOESN'T HE?
YES.
AND IF HE CAN'T HAVE HER,
HE'LL TAKE ANTON.
ANY WAY
THAT HE CAN GET HIM.
WHERE'S CATHERINE?
SHE'S SAFE.
WHAT ABOUT NICOLE?
NICOLE CAME BACK IN
THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR.
RIGHT WHERE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN
12 YEARS AGO.
THE ROOF WAS CRUSHED
IN THE ACCIDENT.
SO WHEN SHE RE-MATERIALIZED
SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN--
IS THERE ANY WAY
YOU COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THIS?
WE DID.
BUT WHAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT WAS
FOR ANTON TO RETURN WITH THEM.
HIS PRESENCE
PUSHED THE SEAT
AND NICOLE
TOO FAR FORWARD.
DOES HER MOTHER KNOW?
NO, NO.
SHE HASN'T RECOVERED HERSELF,
YET.
I DON'T SUPPOSE SHE KNOWS
IT'S 12 YEARS LATER.
THE SHOCK
WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR HER.
YOU SHOULD AT LEAST
LET HER SEE HER HUSBAND.
FRANK,
ANTON MAY NOT LAST
LONG ENOUGH TO WAIT.
IT'S NOT SAFE
TO BRING HER OUT.
NICOLE, JOANNE BESTER,
16 SCIENTISTS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE
HAVE TO DIE
FOR
YOUR LITTLE EXPERIMENTS?
THERE WERE
NO WITNESSES.
HOW LONG
HAS HE BEEN HERE?
MAYBE AN HOUR.
HIS NECK'S BROKEN.
BETWEEN THE 2nd
AND 3rd VERTEBRA.
*
HE'S IN A COMA.
JESUS.
WE GOTTA GET HIM
OUTTA HERE.
MOVING HIM NOW
WILL KILL HIM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
FOR HIM?
I'VE STARTED
A RAPID INFUSE OF OXYGENT.
BUT,
IT'S STILL EXPERIMENTAL.
LOOK, THE PROBLEM
IS IN HIS METABOLISM,
NOT IN THE BLOOD ITSELF.
I THINK WE SHOULD START
PREPARING OURSELVES FOR--
DON'T YOU SAY THAT;
DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP!
TAKE IT EASY.
WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
I'M LEAVING.
WE'RE ALL
USELESS.
YOU KNOW,
YOU TALK
ABOUT PRIORITIES
BUT YOU PUT YOUR OWN EGO
AHEAD OF THE TEAM
EVERY TIME OUT.
I CAN'T WORK WITH YOU
ANYMORE.
YOU THINK
YOU'RE A PRIZE?
GET OVER YOURSELF.
IT WAS YOU
WHO BETRAYED US.
BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA WATCH
ANY MORE PEOPLE DIE.
LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO ANTON.
I'M NOT
GONNA STICK AROUND
AND WATCH THESE SICK SCENARIOS
GET PLAYED OUT ANYMORE.
DON'T HELP ME.
LOOK,
UM--
I CAN'T STAY HERE
KNOWING THAT YOU DON'T TRUST ME.
I WANT TO.
I WANT TO, LINDSAY.
SORRY.
LISTEN, MATT AND I
ARE GONNA GO SEE ELSINGER
ABOUT ANTON.
WE GOT THINGS TO TALK ABOUT;
WANNA COME?
I WANNA BE HERE
WHEN HE WAKES UP.
THERE'S GOTTA BE
SOME WAY TO HELP HIM.
*
MANY PATIENTS
REMEMBER SOMEONE VISITING THEM
WHEN THEY'RE
UNCONSCIOUS.
A VISIT FROM CATHERINE
COULD TURN HIM AROUND.
NO.
I'M NOT GONNA RISK CATHERINE
FOR SOME LONG SHOT.
DOUBLE SECURITY,
TRIPLE IT.
IF WE FLUSH HIM OUT
WE CAN NAIL HIM.
IT'S TIME
TO UNLOCK
HER CAGE,
FRANK.
YOU CAN'T PROTECT THEM
FOREVER.
SHE HAS TO KNOW.
*
*
*
*
*
*
ANTON.
ANTON.
CAN YOU HEAR ME, HONEY;
IT'S ME.
IT'S CATHERINE.
IT'S TIME
TO WAKE UP NOW.
TEAM 2 REPORTING,
PERIMETER B SECURE.
NEXT COMMUNICATION
AT 1600 HOURS.
COPY, OVER.
HE'S GONE.
WE CAN'T BRING HIM BACK,
THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.
*
NICKY?
NICOLE,
WAIT FOR ME.
*
NICOLE?
HIS PULSE
IS RISING.
ANTON,
PLEASE.
ANTON?
NICOLE.
NICKY,
DON'T LEAVE US.
NOT NOW.
GO BACK, DADDY.
I'M NOT LEAVING YOU.
YOU'RE BETTER OFF THERE.
MOM NEEDS YOU.
WE NEED YOU, TOO.
*
ANTON!
FIGHT ANTON.
COME ON,
STAY WITH US.
SECURITY OP. DOWN
IN THE WEST STAIRWELL.
COME ON,
HONEY.
PLEASE.
GO THAT WAY!
*
IT'S OVER.
HEY!
YOU ALRIGHT?
I HEARD A SHOT.
HE GOT AWAY.
REALLY?
WE BETTER GET BACK
TO ANTON.
HONEY, LET'S GO HOME.
YOU'RE FINE.
FINE.
CATHERINE.
NICKY?
SHE'S--
SHE'S GONE.
ISN'T SHE?
*
CASE MANAGER'S FINAL LOG.
FRANK ELSINGER RECORDING.
OUR "FRIEND"
HAS ELUDED US MOMENTARILY.
WE'RE WORKING WITH FEDERAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO LOCATE HIM.
IN THE MEANTIME,
SECURITY HAS BE ARRANGED FOR
ANTON AND CATHERINE HENDRICKS.
A MEMORIAL SERVICE WILL BE HELD
NEXT WEEK FOR THEIR DAUGHTER.
12 YEARS LATER,
CASE FILE 751-718
IS OFFICIALLY AND FINALLY
CLOSED.
ELSINGER OUT.
*
*
*
BYE, NICOLE.
*
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS WIFE
AND DAUGHTER, ANYWAY?
THEY WERE AT
A RAILROAD CROSSING,
A TRUCK LOST CONTROL
AND REAR ENDED THEM
FORCING THEM INTO
THE SIDE OF A MOVING TRAIN.
OH MY GOD.
NO TRACE OF THEM
HAS EVER BEEN FOUND.
BREAKFAST SHOULD BE READY
ANY TIME.
I MISS YOU SO MUCH.
CATHERINE?
NICOLE?
DARLING,
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT.
I KNOW YOU NEVER GAVE UP HOPE.
DADDY, IT'S COLD IN HERE.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
WHY ARE YOU
SO LATE?
DON'T WORRY.
DADDY,
HELP US.
THERE'S NOTHING
TO BE AFRAID OF.
ANTON, ANTON, WAIT.
HOW DO WE GET ANTON BACK?
MAYBE WE DON'T.
*
IT SEEMS FITTING THAT WE'RE
STANDING HERE AT A CROSSROADS,
WHERE PEOPLE TRAVEL PAST
ALL THE TIME.
THEY COME AND THEY GO.
JUST AS THE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES
COME AND GO.
ANTON INSPIRED US
WITH HIS HUMILITY,
WITH HIS HUMOUR
AND WITH HIS INFINITE CAPACITY
FOR CARING.
HE MADE ME WANT TO BE
A BETTER PERSON.
I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
3 MONTHS AGO
WHEN WE LOST HIM,
WE NOT ONLY LOST
A COLLEAGUE,
WE LOST A MENTOR
AND WE LOST
A GREAT, GREAT FRIEND.
*
*
*
GET OUT OF THE WAY!
CLEAR TRAUMA 4!
I.C.U. ROOM 3,
WHERE IS IT?
JUST THERE, BUT HE'S NOT ALLOWED
ANY VISITORS.
ANTON?

ELEOA, WE7LA3AoS
AN O.S.I.R. INVESTIGATOR
CLINGS TO LIFE,
QUESTIONS ARE RAISED:
CAN LOVE
EXTEND BEYOND CONSCIOUSNESS?
CAN IT REACH BEYOND THE BOUNDS
OF SPACE AND TIME?
AS FAR AS ANOTHER PLANE
OF EXISTENCE?
AND DO OUR DECEASED LOVED ONES
WATCH OVER US?
WOULD THEY TOUCH US
IF THEY COULD?
WHO BROUGHT HIM
IN HERE?
HOW'D HE GET HERE?
I DON'T KNOW;
I JUST CAME ON.
WHO CAN TELL ME?
PLEASE LOWER
YOUR VOICE.
EXCUSE ME.
ARE YOU FAMILY?
NO.
HE DOESN'T HAVE ANY.
WE'RE HIS FRIENDS.
DID YOU ADMIT HIM?
NO, WHEN I CAME ON THIS MORNING
HE WAS ALREADY HERE.
HE WAS A WALK-IN
DOWN IN THE E.R.
DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HE CAN BREATHE
FOR HIMSELF, LET ALONE WALK.
MAYBE HE WAS DUMPED
BY ANOTHER HOSPITAL.
HAPPENS SOMETIMES.
LOOK,
NO ONE SAW HOW HE GOT HERE
BUT WE'RE CHECKING INTO IT.
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH HIM?
WHY IS HE
HOOKED UP TO THAT?
THIS IS
A POSITIVE PRESSURE VENTILATOR.
HE HAS STSTAGNANT HYPOXIA;
IT'S AN OXYGEN DEFICIENCY.
CAUSED BY?
WELL, HE MAY HAVE BEEN
SOME PLACE VERY COLD,
OR SUSPENDED WITHOUT MOVEMENT
FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME.
ANY IDEAS?
IS HE GONNA
BE ALRIGHT?
WE'VE GOT HIM ON VERSED
TO EASE THE DISCOMFORT
OF THE VENTILATOR.
WE'RE TAKING THINGS
ONE STEP AT A TIME.
HE SAY ANYTHING
BEFORE YOU PUT THAT TUBE IN HIM?
NO.
NOT A WORD.
HERE ARE
HIS EFFECTS.
GREAT,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
LET'S SEE
WHAT WE'VE GOT.
WHOA.
ANTON'S COMLINK.
HE WAS WEARING IT
WHEN HE DISAPPEARED IN THE ARCH.
I WONDER
WHERE THE REST OF IT IS.
MAYBYBE
WHERE HE RE-ENTERED.
PETER?
WHERE IS HE?
CAN I SEE HIM?
HOW DID YOU KNOW
HE WAS HERE?
WE JUST
GOT THIS CALL.
*
*
DON'T EVER
DO THAT AGAIN.
HE'S HERE.
YOUR FRIEND IS HERE
IN THE I.C.U.
WHO IS THIS?
YOUR MISSING FRIEND'S
COME BACK.
HE NEEDS YOUR HELP.
WHO IS THIS, PLEASE?
LARKSPUR MEMORIAL HOSPITAL.
I'M GONNA TRY AND CLEAN IT UP;
SEE IF I CAN GET A VOICE PRINT.
DID WE GET THE TRACE?
A PAY PHONE IN THE E.R., CENTRAL
LAB PATCHED IT TO MY CELL.
GOOD,
THAT'S A START.
IS THAT ANY GOOD?
YEAH,
FOR WALLPAPER PASTE.
UM--
IT JUST
DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE.
IF THE CALLER
HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE,
WHY BRING ANTON
TO A PUBLIC HOSPITAL?
I KNOW WHEN I CHECKED
THE HOSPITAL SURVEILLANCE TAPES,
THEY'RE LOST.
THAT'S CONVENIENT.
WHAT IF ANTON--
WHAT IF HE APPORTED
RIGHT INTO THE HOSPITAL; NO ONE
WOULD HAVE SEEN HIM COME IN.
YOU DON'T THINK
SOMEONE WOULD HAVE SPOTTED HIM
"BEAMING IN"
FROM NOWHERE?
WHERE ARE
YOUR PRIORITIES?
1st WE GET ANTON HEALTHY, THEN
WE FIGURE OUT HOW HE GOT HERE.
WOW.
YOU'RE SINGING
A NEW TUNE.
I CAN'T SIT AROUND
WAITING FOR ANSWERS.
I WANT ANTON TO GET BETTER,
OF COURSE, BUT I NEED TO KNOW.
IF WE UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS GOING
ON MAYBE WE COULD HELP HIM.
ALRIGHT LOOK,
ANTON STEPS INTO THE ARCH,
HE DISAPPEARS--
AND HE COMES OUT
SOME PLACE ELSE.
COULD SOMEONE HAVE TAKEN YOUR
WORK ON THE ARCH AND ADAPTED IT?
MY RESEARCH IS ON FILE
AT THE CENTRAL LAB--
IT'D HAVE TO BE--
SOMEONE INSIDE
THE O.S.I.R.
EXCUSE ME,
DR. THOMAS?
HOW IS HE TODAY?
HE'S STILL HYPOXIC,
I'M AFRAID.
BUT HE IS AWAKE.
HE'S AWAKE?
YES.
ANTON?
NO, DON'T TRY
AND TALK.
IT'S OKAY,
YOU'RE IN HOSPITAL.
OKAY.
HERE YOU GO.
CATHERINE?
HIS WIFE.
I THOUGHT
HE HAD NO RELATIVES.
SHE PASSED AWAY
12 YEARS AGO.
SO DID HIS DAUGHTER.
ANTON, ANTON,
DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
*
MATTHEW.
FRANK.
WE MISSED YOU
AT THE MEMORIAL SERVICE.
YES, I WISH
I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE.
WHEN DID THIS BECOME
AN OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION?
DON'T YOU THINK
IT SHOULD BE?
I THINK YOU SHOULD ARRANGE
TO HAVE THE MOBILE LAB RETURNED.
SURE FRANK,
SOON AS I FINISH USING IT
TO SAVE ANTON'S LIFE.
I'M HAVING HIM TRANSFERRED
TO A PRIVATE CLINIC.
LEMME GUESS,
CLASSIFIED LOCATION?
SOME PLACE WE CAN'T ASK HIM
TOO MANY QUESTIONS.
NO, A PLACE WHERE HE'LL GET
THE VERY BEST CARE.
WE BOTH WANT THAT,
DON'T WE?
I'M
DR. CLAIRE DAVISON.
DR. ERIC THOMAS.
I'M ANTON'S
PERSONAL PHYSICIAN.
DO YOU MIND?
HYPOXIA?
HIS LIVIDITY'S
MORE PINK THAN BLUE.
THAT'S STRANGE.
I'D LIKE TO DRAW SOME BLOOD, RUN
SOME TESTS, IF THAT'S ALRIGHT.
ALL THE PRELIMINARY BLOOD WORK
HAS BEEN DONE.
DO YOU
HAVE PRIVILEGES HERE?
NO.
YOU SEE,
ANTON HAS BEEN THROUGH
SOMETHING VERY--
UNUSUAL.
SUCH AS?
IT'S RATHER DIFFICULT
TO EXPLAIN.
I WOULD FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE
IF I COULD EXAMINE HIM MYSELF.
FOR A PATIENT
WHO HAS NO RELATIVES,
HE CERTAINLY HAS
A LOT OF FRIENDS.
I JUST WANNA
MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE ALL LOOKING OUT
FOR HIS BEST INTERESTS,
DOCTOR.
EXCUSE ME.
DR. THOMAS,
CARDIAC DISTRESS,
TRAUMA 6.
ANTON.
WHEN I WAS 8,
I STOLE SOME GUM
FROM BECKER'S.
MY FATHER MADE ME TAKE IT BACK,
ADMIT WHAT I'D DONE
AND APOLOGIZE.
I NEVER STOLE AGAIN--
UNTIL TODAY.
HAVE YOU FINISHED
THE TESTS?
YEAH.
DR. THOMAS SAID
THAT HE WAS HYPOXIC.
BUT HYPOXIC BLOOD
APPEARS DARK,
ALMOST BLACK.
THAT LOOKS
CHERRY-RED TO ME.
WHAT IS IT?
NORMALLY, BLOOD CARRIES CARBON
DIOXIDE BACK TO THE LUNGS.
IN ANTON'S CASE,
BEFORE
IT CAN BE EXHALED
ONE OXYGEN ATOM
IS FALLING AWAY.
SO, INSTEAD
OF CARBON DIOXIDE,
HIS BLOOD IS PRODUCING
CARBON MONOXIDE.
HIS OWN BLOOD
IS POISONING HIM?
AND C.O. ACCUMULATES.
AT THE RATE
THAT I'M SEEING HERE--
HOW LONG HAS HE GOT?
I'VE NEVER SEEN
C.O. CREATED INTERNALLY BEFORE.
UNLESS WE CAN FIND--
HOW LONG?
A WEEK.
NO.
PROBABLY LESS.
IT'S OKAY, ANTON.
CLAIRE'S
TAKING CARE OF YOU NOW.
I'M GONNA REMOVE THE TUBE,
OKAY?
I WANT YOU
TO EXHALE, HARD.
READY?
NOW.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
BREATHE ANTON!
DEEP BREATHS!
STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
FORCED OXYGEN WAS KILLING HIM
FASTER THAN ROOM AIR.
WHAT--
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IT'S OKAY,
SHH, IT'S ALRIGHT.
YOU'RE GOING
BEFORE THE BOARD.
I'M ARRANGING PRIVILEGES
WITH YOUR CHIEF OF STAFF.
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'VE GOT
A DISPENSATION FROM THE POPE.
STAY OFF MY WARD.
I AM LEAVING.
DON'T LEAVE HIM ALONE.
GRADUALLY, HIS MIND
WILL BECOME CLOUDY.
HE'LL GROW
INCREASINGLY DISORIENTED
AND DISTRESSED.
WHEN THE OXYGEN LEVEL
REACHING HIS BRAIN
DEPLETES
TO A CRITICAL STAGE,
HE'LL SLIP INTO A COMA
AND SHORTLY AFTER THAT--
ASSUMING WE CAN'T TREAT
THE CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING.
IF IT WAS COMING
FROM AN OUTSIDE SOURCE,
THEN WE COULD.
BUT
SELF C.O. POISONING
IS UNHEARD OF.
AND I CAN'T HELP ANTON
IF THEY WON'T LET ME SEE HIM.
HAVE YOU TALKED
TO HOSPITAL ADMINISTRATION?
TWICE, ALREADY.
BUT I HAVE SOME OTHER STRINGS
TO PULL, EXCUSE ME.
LOOK,
ANTON'S PROBLEMS
ARE MORE
THAN PHYSICAL.
IT HAS TO HAVE SOMETHING TO DO
WITH THE APPORTATION.
WE KNOW
THAT PHONE CALL
CAME FROM SOMEONE
INSIDE THE O.S.I.R.
IF I WERE YOU,
I WOULDN'T BE TALKING TO ANYBODY
RIGHT ABOUT NOW.
AS FAR AS
ELSINGER'S CONCERNED,
IF HE DIDN'T USE
MY RESEARCH HIMSELF,
I BET THE FARM
HE KNOWS WHO DID.
HE'S STILL THE SAME.
LINDSAY?
I DON'T KNOW
WHO TO TRUST.
YOU'VE BEEN KNOWN
TO MAKE ANONYMOUS CALLS BEFORE,
SO I'VE GOT TO ASK.
DID YOU
MAKE THAT CALL?
NO.
BUT GIVEN THE CHANCE
I WOULD HAVE.
FAIR ENOUGH.
I COULDN'T FIND THEM
IN THERE.
ANTON?
ANTON?
IT'S OKAY,
IT'S ALRIGHT.
DO YOU KNOW
WHERE YOU ARE?
HOSPITAL.
DO YOU KNOW
WHO I AM?
NICOLE,
YOU'VE GROWN SOME.
OH,
YOU'RE NOT MY DAUGHTER.
LINDSAY.
LINDSAY.
RIGHT.
WELCOME BACK,
ANTON.
MATT.
YOU STILL OWE ME
20 DOLLARS.
ANTON,
DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED?
I WAS STANDING
IN FRONT OF THE ARCH.
CATHERINE AND NICOLE
WERE INSIDE.
I WENT TO THEM.
THEY WERE CLOSE,
BUT I COULDN'T
TOUCH THEM.
THEY WERE FRIGHTENED,
BUT I COULDN'T
HELP THEM.
I REACHED OUT--
THEN I WOKE UP
IN HERE.
I NEED
TO GO BACK TO THEM.
PLEASE.
*
CLEANING OUT
THE ATTIC?
NO, IT'S THE FILES FROM THE
DISAPPEARANCE OF ANTON'S FAMILY.
THAT'S WAS THE CAR
THEY WERE
SEEN IN LAST.
WHERE ARE
THE ATMOSPHERIC REPORTS?
THERE'S STUFF MISSING.
INCLUDING ALL THE LOGS.
WHO WAS
THE CASE MANAGER?
BEFORE MY TIME.
I DON'T GET THIS.
ANTON CLAIMS
HE SAW THEM IN THE ARCH.
THAT WAS JUST AN ILLUSION
TO LURE HIM IN.
MAYBE IT WASN'T.
HURRY UP;
BRING THE JAWS!
I'M A DOCTOR,
CAN I HELP?
I DON'T KNOW.
DUMP TRUCK HIT THEM,
PUSHED THEM INTO THE TRAIN.
WE'RE STILL TRYING
TO GET THEM OUT.
WE WILL
GET YOU OUT.
JUST HANG ON A LITTLE LONGER,
ALRIGHT?
CAN YOU HEAR ME;
CAN YOU HEAR ME?
IF YOU CAN HEAR ME,
STAY STILL.
DON'T MOVE,
WE'LL HELP YOU.
OH MY GOD.
OH, MY GOD.
THAT'S MY WIFE'S CAR--
MY DAUGHTER--
CATHERINE,
NICOLE!
GOD!
GET HIM OFF.
NO!
CATHERINE!
NICOLE!
KEEP HIM BACK!
NICOLE!
YOU HAVE
TO STAY BACK.
CATHERINE!
NICOLE!
THEY'RE GONE!
OH, MY GOD!
OH, MY GOD!
CATHERINE.
NICKY.
GET OVER HERE,
QUICK!
CATHERINE!
NICKY!
CATHERINE!
WHERE ARE YOU?
ANTON?
WHAT IS IT;
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
WHAT IS IT?
CAN I HAVE A LOOK?
HOW DID THIS HAPPEN?
I DON'T KNOW.
*
4 CRACKED RIBS.
THEY LOOK FRESH; THEY SHOULD
HAVE BEEN ON ANTON'S CHART.
WHAT COULD HAVE
CAUSED THEM?
AT HIS AGE,
A FALL, A MAJOR IMPACT TRAUMA
OF SOME KIND.
WHY DIDN'T DR. THOMAS
TELL US ABOUT THEM?
SAME REASON HE NEGLECTED
TO MENTION THE C.O. POISONING.
THAT'S 2 STRIKES.
HE DOESN'T GET
A 3rd.
DR. ADLER, HEMATOLOGY.
DR. ADLER, HEMATOLOGY.
HEY!
*
WAIT!
STOP HIM!
HEY, STOP THAT GUY!
HEY!
*
DAMMIT!
WHO WAS HE?
I WASN'T THERE.
THE MAN
WITH THE GOATEE.
I SAW YOU 2
WALTZING TOGETHER
ON THE MENDOZA CASE.
ARE YOU SURE
IT WAS HIM?
KEEP HIM AWAY
FROM ANTON.
WHY?
WHO IS HE?
MILITARY;
I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME.
HE'S WHY YOU WANTED US
TO BACK OFF.
DR. THOMAS,
IS HE MILITARY, TOO?
I WOULDN'T KNOW;
ASK HIM YOURSELF.
I WOULD IF I COULD FIND HIM, BUT
HE'S NOT ANSWERING HIS PAGES.
DR. DAVISON'S BEEN AWARDED
FULL HOSPITAL PRIVILEGES.
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
IF ANYTHING YOU KNOW CAN SAVE
ANTON AND YOU'RE NOT TELLING US,
I SWEAR TO GOD, I'LL--
WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO KNOW?
IS THERE ANY CONNECTION
BETWEEN THE ARCH
AND WHAT HAPPENED
TO ANTON'S FAMILY
BACK IN 1986?
I WANT TO TALK
TO THE ORIGINAL CASE MANAGER.
NO,
HE CAN'T HELP YOU.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE IT WAS ME.
*
THESE ARE 3 OF THE SCIENTIST
WHO WALKED INTO THE ARCH.
THEY WERE ALL FOUND
WITHIN
THE LAST 2 WEEKS.
DR. NEIL ALFRED
WAS DISCOVERED
IN VICTORIA.
DANIEL HADFIELD
IN GENEVA.
AND LUCY SYLVESTER IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE.
LONG SWIM HOME.
THOSE SITES HAVE THE STRONGEST
MAGNETIC FIELDS ON THE PLANET.
YES, YOUR RESEARCH DID POINT US
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
GLAD I COULD BE OF HELP.
WHERE ARE THEY NOW,
FRANK?
THEY ALL DIED
WITHIN A WEEK.
FROM THE SAME CARBON MONOXIDE
POISONING AS ANTON?
YES.
WE THOUGHT THAT
IF WE COULD REPRODUCE
THE CONDITIONS OF HENDRICKS
FAMILY'S DISAPPEARANCE
EXACTLY,
THAT WE MAY BE ABLE
TO OPEN ANOTHER PORTAL
AND BRING THEM BACK.
SO, WE POSITIONED
THE REMAINS
OF THE CAR
IN THE PRECISE LOCATION
IT HAD BEEN DESTROYED
12 YEARS BEFORE.
YOU'D HAVE TO CHARGE AN E.M.
FIELD; WHERE'D YOU GET POWER?
INSTEAD OF COLLISION FRICTION
WE USED HEAT AND INFRARED LIGHT.
SIMILAR TO WHAT YOU WERE TRYING
TO DO WITH YOUR RESEARCH.
THEN WE FLIPPED A SWITCH
AND WE WAITED.
AND ANTON
JUST APPEARED
IN THE BACK SEAT.
THE INTENSE
ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION
DESTROYED
THE VIDEO RECORD
FROM THAT POINT ON.
WHAT ABOUT CATHERINE
AND NICOLE, FRANK?
NO.
HE'S HERE.
ALRIGHT, LET'S TRY THIS.
HE'S HERE; HE'S HERE, HE'S HERE.
HE'S HERE; HE'S HERE, HE'S HERE.
NOW WE'RE
GETTING SOMEWHERE.
HE'S HERE; YOUR FRIEND IS HERE.
HE'S IN THE I.C.U.
HE'S HERE;
YOUR FRIEND IS HERE.
HE'S IN THE I.C.U.
CURTIS,
GOOD OF YOU TO COME.
WHERE'S ANTON?
HE'S IN THE I.C.U.
WHY DIDN'T YOU
JUST TELL US WHERE HE WAS?
I NEEDED TO STAY ON THE INSIDE
AS LONG AS POSSIBLE.
BUT ANTON WAS SICK.
HE NEEDED HELP.
YOU SHOULD HAVE
TRUSTED US.
I TOOK A BIG ENOUGH RISK
BRINGING HIM TO A HOSPITAL.
HOW COULD YOU USE MY RESEARCH
WITHOUT ME?
I SHOULD HAVE
BEEN AT THE SITE.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOU.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
IT'S ABOUT ANTON.
NO HARD FEELINGS.
*
HELLO DARLING,
YOU OLD FLEABAG.
A GIRLFRIEND WITH 8 LEGS,
THAT HAS POSSIBILITIES.
YOU'RE DISGUSTING.
*
THIS IS HOT.
IT'S STILL MAGNETIZED.
OH, YEAH.
THE REST
OF ANTON'S COMLINK.
ANTON WAS IN THE BACK SEAT
WHEN HE RE-ENTERED, RIGHT?
YEAH.
THERE'S NOT
ENOUGH ROOM.
IT MUST BE
HOW HE BROKE HIS RIBS.
THIS CAN'T BE ANTON'S;
THERE'S TOO MUCH.
HE DIDN'T
COME BACK ALONE.
HERE'S A FIRST,
YOU LIED TO US.
I HAD NO CHOICE.
I'M LISTENING.
FOR 12 YEARS I'VE SEARCHED
FOR CATHERINE AND NICOLE.
THERE WAS SO MUCH
THEY COULD HAVE TOLD US.
THEY COULD HAVE
ANSWERED QUESTIONS
THAT WE DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW HOW TO ASK.
BUT NOW--
CATHERINE HENDRICKS
CAME BACK WITH ANTON.
SHE HASN'T PHYSICALLY AGED
A DAY IN 12 YEARS.
UM--
WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US?
I WANTED TO CONTAIN
ANY POSSIBLE COMPLICATIONS.
YOUR MILITARY PAL.
HE WANTS HER
DOESN'T HE?
YES.
AND IF HE CAN'T HAVE HER,
HE'LL TAKE ANTON.
ANY WAY
THAT HE CAN GET HIM.
WHERE'S CATHERINE?
SHE'S SAFE.
WHAT ABOUT NICOLE?
NICOLE CAME BACK IN
THE PASSENGER SEAT OF THE CAR.
RIGHT WHERE SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN
12 YEARS AGO.
THE ROOF WAS CRUSHED
IN THE ACCIDENT.
SO WHEN SHE RE-MATERIALIZED
SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN--
IS THERE ANY WAY
YOU COULD HAVE ANTICIPATED THIS?
WE DID.
BUT WHAT WE DIDN'T EXPECT WAS
FOR ANTON TO RETURN WITH THEM.
HIS PRESENCE
PUSHED THE SEAT
AND NICOLE
TOO FAR FORWARD.
DOES HER MOTHER KNOW?
NO, NO.
SHE HASN'T RECOVERED HERSELF,
YET.
I DON'T SUPPOSE SHE KNOWS
IT'S 12 YEARS LATER.
THE SHOCK
WOULD BE TOO MUCH FOR HER.
YOU SHOULD AT LEAST
LET HER SEE HER HUSBAND.
FRANK,
ANTON MAY NOT LAST
LONG ENOUGH TO WAIT.
IT'S NOT SAFE
TO BRING HER OUT.
NICOLE, JOANNE BESTER,
16 SCIENTISTS.
HOW MANY PEOPLE
HAVE TO DIE
FOR
YOUR LITTLE EXPERIMENTS?
THERE WERE
NO WITNESSES.
HOW LONG
HAS HE BEEN HERE?
MAYBE AN HOUR.
HIS NECK'S BROKEN.
BETWEEN THE 2nd
AND 3rd VERTEBRA.
*
HE'S IN A COMA.
JESUS.
WE GOTTA GET HIM
OUTTA HERE.
MOVING HIM NOW
WILL KILL HIM.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING
FOR HIM?
I'VE STARTED
A RAPID INFUSE OF OXYGENT.
BUT,
IT'S STILL EXPERIMENTAL.
LOOK, THE PROBLEM
IS IN HIS METABOLISM,
NOT IN THE BLOOD ITSELF.
I THINK WE SHOULD START
PREPARING OURSELVES FOR--
DON'T YOU SAY THAT;
DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP!
TAKE IT EASY.
WHAT
ARE YOU DOING?
I'M LEAVING.
WE'RE ALL
USELESS.
YOU KNOW,
YOU TALK
ABOUT PRIORITIES
BUT YOU PUT YOUR OWN EGO
AHEAD OF THE TEAM
EVERY TIME OUT.
I CAN'T WORK WITH YOU
ANYMORE.
YOU THINK
YOU'RE A PRIZE?
GET OVER YOURSELF.
IT WAS YOU
WHO BETRAYED US.
BECAUSE I'M NOT GONNA WATCH
ANY MORE PEOPLE DIE.
LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED
TO ANTON.
I'M NOT
GONNA STICK AROUND
AND WATCH THESE SICK SCENARIOS
GET PLAYED OUT ANYMORE.
DON'T HELP ME.
LOOK,
UM--
I CAN'T STAY HERE
KNOWING THAT YOU DON'T TRUST ME.
I WANT TO.
I WANT TO, LINDSAY.
SORRY.
LISTEN, MATT AND I
ARE GONNA GO SEE ELSINGER
ABOUT ANTON.
WE GOT THINGS TO TALK ABOUT;
WANNA COME?
I WANNA BE HERE
WHEN HE WAKES UP.
THERE'S GOTTA BE
SOME WAY TO HELP HIM.
*
MANY PATIENTS
REMEMBER SOMEONE VISITING THEM
WHEN THEY'RE
UNCONSCIOUS.
A VISIT FROM CATHERINE
COULD TURN HIM AROUND.
NO.
I'M NOT GONNA RISK CATHERINE
FOR SOME LONG SHOT.
DOUBLE SECURITY,
TRIPLE IT.
IF WE FLUSH HIM OUT
WE CAN NAIL HIM.
IT'S TIME
TO UNLOCK
HER CAGE,
FRANK.
YOU CAN'T PROTECT THEM
FOREVER.
SHE HAS TO KNOW.
*
*
*
*
*
*
ANTON.
ANTON.
CAN YOU HEAR ME, HONEY;
IT'S ME.
IT'S CATHERINE.
IT'S TIME
TO WAKE UP NOW.
TEAM 2 REPORTING,
PERIMETER B SECURE.
NEXT COMMUNICATION
AT 1600 HOURS.
COPY, OVER.
HE'S GONE.
WE CAN'T BRING HIM BACK,
THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO.
*
NICKY?
NICOLE,
WAIT FOR ME.
*
NICOLE?
HIS PULSE
IS RISING.
ANTON,
PLEASE.
ANTON?
NICOLE.
NICKY,
DON'T LEAVE US.
NOT NOW.
GO BACK, DADDY.
I'M NOT LEAVING YOU.
YOU'RE BETTER OFF THERE.
MOM NEEDS YOU.
WE NEED YOU, TOO.
*
ANTON!
FIGHT ANTON.
COME ON,
STAY WITH US.
SECURITY OP. DOWN
IN THE WEST STAIRWELL.
COME ON,
HONEY.
PLEASE.
GO THAT WAY!
*
IT'S OVER.
HEY!
YOU ALRIGHT?
I HEARD A SHOT.
HE GOT AWAY.
REALLY?
WE BETTER GET BACK
TO ANTON.
HONEY, LET'S GO HOME.
YOU'RE FINE.
FINE.
CATHERINE.
NICKY?
SHE'S--
SHE'S GONE.
ISN'T SHE?
*
CASE MANAGER'S FINAL LOG.
FRANK ELSINGER RECORDING.
OUR "FRIEND"
HAS ELUDED US MOMENTARILY.
WE'RE WORKING WITH FEDERAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO LOCATE HIM.
IN THE MEANTIME,
SECURITY HAS BE ARRANGED FOR
ANTON AND CATHERINE HENDRICKS.
A MEMORIAL SERVICE WILL BE HELD
NEXT WEEK FOR THEIR DAUGHTER.
12 YEARS LATER,
CASE FILE 751-718
IS OFFICIALLY AND FINALLY
CLOSED.
ELSINGER OUT.

BYE, NICOLE.
