The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 1, Episode 6 - The Choice - full transcript
Ten year-old Aggie Travers is expelled from school after several incidents involving other students. She's very bright but her behavioral problems lead the school to determine she is a danger to the other students. Aggie's problem is that she has telekinetic powers but doesn't know how to control them. Her parents decide to hire a full time caregiver, Karen Ross, who it turns out has powers similar to Aggie's. Karen gives Aggie a crystal to help her focus her powers but when government agents arrive looking for her, Aggie's parents must decide what is in her best interest.
NOT AGAIN.
KICK IT BACK, SCUM WAD.
DID YOU HEAR ME?
I'M NOT A SCUM WAD.
O. K., YOU'RE NOT A SCUM WAD.
YOU'RE A SCUM PILE.
( kids jeering )
GET AWAY FROM ME.
MAKE US.
OW!
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.
IT IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
PEOPLE THAT CAUSE
CONFLICTS--
DIFFERENCES IN RELIGION,
IN RACE, IN BELIEFS.
WHAT WARS WOULD BE FOUGHT
IF THE DIFFERENCES
GREW BETWEEN
TWO INTELLIGENT SPECIES--
HUMANS AND THOSE WHO MIGHT
ULTIMATELY REPLACE US?
( Principal )
THIS IS THE FIFTH INCIDENT
IN AS MANY WEEKS.
ONE GIRL CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN
PUSHED OFF THE SLIDE.
ONE CLASSROOM LOOKED LIKE
THE TASMANIAN DEVIL
HAD GONE THROUGH IT.
AGGIE CLAIMS TO HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
WE REALIZE
THAT AGGIE
HAS SOME EMOTIONAL
PROBLEMS.
WE'RE DEALING
WITH IT.
IF YOU COULD
RECONSIDER.
GIVE HER
ANOTHER CHANCE?
THE PROBLEM
IS THE OTHER PARENTS.
WHAT DO YOU
MEAN?
WE'RE PUTTING THEIR CHILDREN
INTO AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT
AND WE'RE LEGALLY LIABLE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO INSIST
THAT AGGIE BE REMOVED.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU WANT US TO PUT HER
IN REFORM SCHOOL?
SHE'S A KID.
I SUGGEST A SCHOOL FOR
SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN.
SPECIAL NEEDS?
MY DAUGHTER
ISN'T RETARDED.
NO ONE'S SAYING THAT.
WE WOULDN'T HAVE
THIS DISCUSSION
IF NOT FOR HER
BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS.
WE'D PUT HER INTO
ANOTHER GRADE.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
HER BEHAVIOR IS DESTRUCTIVE,
IT'S UNCONTROLLABLE AND--
AND WHAT?
DANGEROUS.
THIS IS
RIDICULOUS.
DANGEROUS?
WE KNOW AGGIE
HAS PROBLEMS.
SHE MAKES A MESS
EVERY NOW AND AGAIN,
BUT SHE DOESN'T
LIE TO US.
SHE NEVER
HURT ANYONE.
CLARK HOWELL
DID NOT HIT HIMSELF.
I'M SORRY, I HAVE TO
SUSPEND AGGIE FROM SCHOOL
FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS--
UNTIL THE END
OF TERM.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO MY CHILD.
THE OTHER PARENTS
AREN'T THE ONLY ONES
WHO CAN FILE SUIT,
YOU KNOW.
SO, IS SHE IN BED YET?
ALMOST.
IT'S SO HARD, JOE.
SHE WON'T TALK
TO ME AT ALL.
IT'S THE SAME
FOR ME.
SHE CAN'T
UNDERSTAND
WHY WE WON'T
BELIEVE HER.
SHE ACTUALLY
FEELS BETRAYED.
WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO WITH HER?
I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK WE SHOULD GET
SOMEONE FOR AGGIE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"GET SOMEONE"?
WELL, A FULL-TIME
LIVE-IN.
SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE
THE PRESSURE OFF US.
SOMEONE AT WORK SAID
THERE'S A NEW AGENCY IN TOWN.
MAYBE THEY HAVE SOMEONE
WHO DEALS IN PROBLEM KIDS.
WE CAN'T AFFORD
IT RIGHT NOW.
WE CAN'T NOT
AFFORD IT!
WE DON'T HAVE
ANY CHOICE.
LET'S SAY WE FIND
SOMEONE.
HOW LONG COULD WE
KEEP THEM?
HAVING A KID WHO HITS
OTHER CHILDREN AND LIES.
WE DON'T
KNOW THAT.
JOE, PLEASE.
EVERY TIME
SOMETHING BREAKS
AGGIE SAYS SHE
DIDN'T DO IT.
LESLIE, I'M NOT
TRYING TO ARGUE.
I'M JUST TRYING
TO WORK THIS THING OUT.
( knocking on door )
AGGIE,
UNLOCK THE DOOR.
AGGIE?
DON'T DO
THIS, AGGIE.
AGGIE, OPEN
THIS DOOR!
OH, MY GOD.
AGGIE,
WHAT IS THIS?
EVERYTHING JUST STARTED
SHAKING.
BY ITSELF?
LOOK AT
THIS MESS!
JOE, YOU'RE
FRIGHTENING HER.
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!
I DON'T KNOW WHY
THIS HAPPENS.
WHY DON'T YOU
BELIEVE ME?
AGGIE.
DAMN IT, JOE.
( crash )
OH, GOD. AGGIE?
( phone ringing )
ANTIQUARIUS BOOKS,
RUTH SPEAKING.
JEAN, DO WE HAVE
ANY PAPERBACK COPIES
OF THAT NEW
MARGARET ATWOOD NOVEL?
WE'LL BE GETTING IN A COUPLE
LATER THIS WEEK.
CHECK WITH US FRIDAY.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT.
DO WHAT?
REMEMBER ALL
THESE THINGS
WHILE YOU'RE
READING
ALL THOSE
NEWSPAPERS.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE
TO CHANGE GEARS.
THIS IS JEAN.
I'VE GOT ANOTHER PROSPECT
FOR YOU.
SARAH AND RACHEL
ARE BUSY WITH OTHERS.
THE LOCATION IS
EUGENE, OREGON.
THE FAMILY'S NAME
IS TRAVIS.
ARE YOU ALL HERE
FOR THE LIVE-IN JOB?
I THOUGHT I WAS EARLY.
WE HAD
THE SAME IDEA.
ABOUT GETTING HERE
EARLY, I MEAN.
IT'S PRETTY TOUGH
NOWADAYS
WITH ALL
THE COMPETITION.
WE ALL WANTED
TO MAKE
A FIRST
IMPRESSION.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
I'M PROBABLY
THE MOST QUALIFIED.
I HAVE A DEGREE IN EARLY
CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
FROM BROWN.
I LIKE YOUR DRESS.
THANK YOU.
OW, MAN.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I GET THESE MIGRAINES.
I'LL BE O. K.
ARE YOU SURE?
OH... MAYBE NOT.
EXCUSE ME.
I LIKE YOUR DRESS.
WE'RE READY TO SEE
THE FIRST...
HI, I'M KAREN ROSS.
OH, UH, HI, I'M--I'M JOE.
COME ON IN, COME ON IN.
I COME FROM A LARGE FAMILY,
AND I LOVE KIDS.
THERE WERE EIGHT OF US.
I WAS THE OLDEST,
SO I HELPED OUT A LOT.
YOU HAVE JUST THE ONE CHILD?
AGGIE.
SHE'S 10.
WE SHOULD
TELL YOU...
THERE'VE BEEN
SOME PROBLEMS.
WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS?
AGGIE IS JUST A LITTLE...
WELL, AT FIRST THE DOCTORS
THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE
ATTENTION DEFICIENT DISORDER.
IT COULD BE WORSE THAN THAT.
SHE GETS
A LITTLE...
WELL, WE'VE HAD SOME
PROBLEMS AT SCHOOL
INVOLVING OTHER KIDS.
AND SOMETIMES
SHE BREAKS THINGS.
SHE BREAKS THINGS?
HER TOYS
AND SOMETIMES DISHES.
THOSE KINDS
OF THINGS.
BUT SHE'S
A NICE KID.
I'D LIKE TO MEET HER.
OF COURSE.
EXCUSE ME.
KAREN,
HAVE A SEAT.
UM,
YOUR LAST JOB,
WHY DID
YOU LEAVE?
THE FAMILY MOVED
TO HAWAII.
THERE'S
A NUMBER THERE.
TWO LITTLE BOYS,
THEY WERE ADORABLE.
AGGIE, THIS IS KAREN.
IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.
AGGIE'S A PRETTY NAME.
IS IT SHORT FOR ANYTHING?
AGATHA?
AGORAPHOBIA?
HEY, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
WHY DON'T YOU SHOW ME
YOUR ROOM?
THAT'S
A GOOD IDEA.
GO AHEAD, HONEY.
THIS IS PRETTY.
WHAT A COOL BED.
I USED TO LOVE
TO BOUNCE ON MY BED.
I BET YOU COULD BOUNCE
UP TO THE CEILING.
OH, I USED TO HAVE
A CLOWN JUST LIKE THAT
WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE.
CAN I SEE HER?
PLEASE?
I'LL SHOW YOU SOMETHING
YOUR CLOWN CAN DO
I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT.
( squeaky voice )
HI, AGGIE.
OH, YOU DON'T LIKE
OUR NEW FRIEND KAREN.
I SURE DO.
I CAN MAKE HER DANCE--WATCH.
UM-PAH, UM-PAH, UM UM.
YOU MUST THINK I'M 5.
AGGIE?
AGGIE, OPEN THE DOOR,
PLEASE.
GO AWAY!
GO AWAY.
DID I SCARE YOU?
IF I SCARED YOU,
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
I ONLY MEANT TO SHOW YOU
WHAT I CAN DO.
WHY?
YOU KNOW WHY, AGGIE.
NO, I DON'T.
YOU'RE
JUST LIKE ME.
YOU CAN DO THINGS.
NO, I CAN'T.
I'M NOT LIKE ANYBODY.
YES, YOU ARE.
THINGS JUST HAPPEN
ON THEIR OWN
WHEN YOU'RE AROUND,
AND PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOU
BECAUSE OF IT.
I DON'T MAKE THINGS
HAPPEN.
I'LL TEACH YOU
HOW TO CONTROL YOUR POWER.
I DON'T WANT
TO CONTROL IT.
I WANT IT
TO GO AWAY!
IS EVERYTHING
ALL RIGHT?
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
AGGIE AND I WILL
GET ALONG JUST GREAT.
WHAT DO
YOU THINK?
WOULD YOU LIKE KAREN
TO STAY WITH US?
AGGIE?
IT'S UP TO YOU, SWEETHEART.
DO YOU WANT KAREN TO STAY?
I GUESS.
WELL, THEN,
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A JOB.
EXCELLENT.
HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN
MISSING, MR. HAGAN?
THREE WEEKS.
WE ALREADY WENT THROUGH THIS
WITH THE POLICE.
I'D THINK YOU'D HAVE
BETTER THINGS TO DO
THAN TO QUESTION US
OVER AND OVER.
MY AGENCY CONDUCTS
ITS OWN INVESTIGATIONS.
WHAT AGENCY
WAS THAT?
THE FBI?
NO, SIR.
MY AGENCY HAS A SLIGHTLY
NARROWER FOCUS THAN THE FBI.
WE CONCENTRATE ON
MISSING CHILDREN LIKE LUCY.
WELL, SHE WAS WALKING
HOME FROM SCHOOL.
PEOPLE SAW HER
LEAVING THE PLAYGROUND
AND WAITING
FOR THE BUS.
AND THEN SHE
WAS GONE.
SHE WOULDN'T RIDE
WITH SOMEBODY
SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
LUCY HAD TOO MUCH
COMMON SENSE.
IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT SHE WAS
PICKED UP BY
HER NANNY, MARTHA?
NO, MARTHA
WASN'T IN TOWN.
TWO WEEKS BEFORE
LUCY DISAPPEARED
MARTHA HAD
A FAMILY EMERGENCY
AND HAD TO GO
TO FLORIDA.
( Mr. Hagan )
YOU DON'T THINK MARTHA
HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THIS.
OH, MY GOD.
IS THIS A PHOTO
OF MARTHA?
YES.
NO, SHE...
SHE COULDN'T
HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH...
SHE LOVED LUCY.
TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU CAN
ABOUT MARTHA.
SHE WAS NEW IN TOWN.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE
A LOT OF FRIENDS.
SHE SAID SHE WAS
AN ONLY CHILD.
DID MARTHA EVER GIVE
YOUR DAUGHTER
A GIFT?
A SMALL CRYSTAL?
HOW DID YOU KNOW
ABOUT THAT?
DO YOU HAVE ANY RECORDS
CONCERNING MARTHA?
SOCIAL SECURITY FORMS,
RESUMES, PHONE BILLS...
ANYTHING THAT MIGHT TELL ME
WHERE TO FIND HER.
THERE'S SOMETHING.
SHE WOULD GET PARCELS--
I DON'T KNOW IF
THEY WERE FROM HOME--
THAT HAD THIS
PRETTY LABEL ON IT.
IT WAS ANTIQUAR--
ANTIQUARIUS BOOKS.
ANTIQUARIUS BOOKS.
WHICH CITY?
I JUST REMEMBER
THE NAME OF THE STORE.
WELL,
I THINK THAT WILL HELP.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WILL YOU FIND LUCY?
IF IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
OH, YEAH, IT'S WALSH HERE.
PATCH ME TO SELMA.
SELMA?
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A LEAD.
I NEED THE LOCATION
OF AN ANTIQUARIUS BOOKSTORE
SOMEWHERE
IN THE CONTINENTAL U. S.
OH, AND GET ME A PLANE
AND A CAR.
I DON'T CARE
HOW MANY THERE ARE.
I'LL CHECK THEM ALL.
( phone ringing )
ANTIQUARIUS BOOKS, THIS IS JEAN.
HI, IT'S ME.
YOU SHOULD KNOW,
I'VE MADE CONTACT AND WE
DEFINITELY HAVE
A POSITIVE--
A LITTLE GIRL NAMED
AGGIE TRAVIS.
GOOD.
HOW SOON WILL SHE BE READY?
THE MOTHER'S SUSPICIOUS,
BUT I'M WORKING ON IT.
IT WON'T BE LONG.
SO, AGGIE,
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?
HMM.
DO YOU HAVE
ANY FRIENDS?
NO.
PEOPLE DON'T WANT
TO BE FRIENDS
WITH ME.
I DO.
MY PARENTS
PAY YOU.
WELL, THAT DOESN'T MEAN
WE CAN'T BE FRIENDS,
DOES IT?
I USED TO GET
THOSE HEADACHES, TOO.
YOU DID?
YEAH.
ESPECIALLY
WHEN I WAS MAD.
SOMETIMES I COULD SEE
THIS GLOW AROUND PEOPLE
AND IF I SQUEEZED IT
DOWN TIGHT
THINGS WOULD HAPPEN
TO THEM.
YOU WERE LIKE ME
WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE?
YOU'RE NOT ALONE, AGGIE.
LOOK AT THE STRAW.
HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?
I FOCUSED.
I SQUEEZED THE LIGHT
TO A POINT.
YOU CAN FOCUS,
TOO.
IT GETS GOOFED UP
WHEN I DO IT.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO.
THIS WILL
HELP YOU FOCUS.
LOOK, I HAVE ONE, TOO.
THINK ABOUT THE STRAW.
I CAN'T.
YES, YOU CAN.
DON'T GET MAD.
REALLY CONCENTRATE.
THAT WAS CLOSER.
TRY IT
ONE MORE TIME.
THINK ONLY
OF THE STRAW.
BLOCK EVERYTHING
ELSE OUT.
YOU'RE DOING THAT.
NO, YOU'RE
DOING THAT.
THAT WAS
EXCELLENT.
WHEN YOU GOT MAD
DID YOU
HURT PEOPLE?
I DID UNTIL I LEARNED
HOW TO CONTROL IT.
I DON'T WANT
TO CONTROL IT.
WHEN PEOPLE
ARE MEAN TO ME
I WANT THEM
TO GET HURT.
IT ISN'T RIGHT,
AGGIE.
WE DON'T USE
OUR POWERS
TO HURT PEOPLE.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE NATURE
DIDN'T GIVE US
THESE POWERS
TO HURT PEOPLE.
ONCE YOU LEARN
HOW TO FOCUS
PEOPLE WON'T BE
MEAN AS OFTEN.
WE'LL PRACTISE EVERY DAY,
JUST THE TWO OF US.
EXCUSE ME.
DO YOU HAVE ANY BOOKS
ON THE HUMAN GENOME PROGRAM?
I'LL SEE.
JEAN, IS IT?
THAT'S A VERY
INTERESTING CRYSTAL
YOU'RE WEARING, JEAN.
WHERE WOULD I GET ONE
JUST LIKE THAT?
THIS IS ONE OF A KIND.
NO, I THINK
I'VE SEEN SEVERAL CRYSTALS
JUST LIKE THAT.
WHO ARE YOU?
JUST A MAN
WITH SOME QUESTIONS, JEAN.
FOR EXAMPLE,
WHERE IS LUCY HAGAN?
OR A NANNY NAMED MARTHA?
RUTH!
RUTH, COME--
NO, NO, NO,
LET ME TELL YOU...
SHOULD I CALL
THE POLICE?
NO, DON'T BOTHER.
BYE, JEAN.
JEAN, IS THERE
ANYTHING I CAN DO?
JUST TELL EVERYONE
I'LL BE GONE FOR A FEW DAYS.
YEAH, I FOUND HER.
FACE TO FACE
WITH THE FAMOUS JEAN ANDERSON,
WHICH IS WHAT SHE'S
CALLING HERSELF THESE DAYS.
NO, NO, I DIDN'T HAVE HER
PICKED UP,
BECAUSE SHE'S OVER 50.
HER POWERS ARE SO DIMINISHED
SHE ISN'T A THREAT.
BUT SHE MAY LEAD US TO OTHERS,
MAYBE EVEN SANCTUARY ITSELF.
YEAH.
HELLO?
AGGIE?
AGGIE, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?
AGGIE?
AGGIE, WHERE ARE YOU?
HI.
OH, I WAS
REALLY WORRIED.
YOU SHOULD HAVE
LEFT ME A NOTE.
I DID.
IT'S IN THE KITCHEN.
I SAID WE'D BE BACK BY NOW.
IS THAT O. K.?
YEAH, THAT'S FINE, FINE.
DID YOU HAVE FUN,
SWEETHEART?
YEAH, I GUESS.
YOU GUESS?
THAT'S A LOT BETTER THAN NO.
I REALLY LIKE KAREN.
YOU DO?
THAT'S GREAT... THAT'S GREAT.
GO WASH UP, O. K.?
O. K.
WOW.
YOU SEEM TO HAVE
SOME KIND OF MAGIC.
HI THERE.
SOMEONE CAME HOME
IN A GOOD MOOD.
I AM IN
A GOOD MOOD.
WHY?
I'M HAPPY BECAUSE
AGGIE'S HAPPY.
I HAVEN'T SEEN
HER LIKE THIS
IN A LONG TIME.
IT WORKED.
WHAT WORKED?
KAREN.
WHAT?
DON'T YOU LIKE HER?
YES, I LIKE HER.
IT'S JUST...
JUST...?
SHE'S TOO PERFECT.
IF SHE'S SO GOOD
WHY HASN'T SHE STAYED
WITH ANOTHER FAMILY
FOR A LONG TIME?
SHE DID. THOSE
PEOPLE IN HAWAII.
DIDN'T YOU CALL THEM?
I SPOKE WITH
THE MOTHER... JEAN.
YEAH, AND WHAT
DID JEAN SAY?
WELL, ACCORDING TO HER,
KAREN IS HEAVEN-SENT.
HEAVEN-SENT?
THAT'S A PROBLEM?
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
I THINK WE LUCKED OUT
FOR ONCE.
LET'S JUST ENJOY IT.
JEAN, I CAME AS
SOON AS I COULD.
IT'S THE TRACKERS.
THEY FOUND ME.
OH, MY GOD.
WHY DIDN'T THEY
GRAB YOU?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT THEY'LL FIND ME AGAIN,
AND FIND YOU AND AGGIE.
HOW IS SHE?
SHE'S NOWHERE NEAR READY.
WE CAN'T BE CONCERNED WITH THAT.
BRING HER TO ME.
I NEED MORE TIME.
IF WE TAKE HER NOW
SHE'LL NEVER REALLY TRUST US.
IF THE TRACKER FINDS US,
IT'S THE CAMP FOR HER,
AND GOD KNOWS WHAT
FOR YOU AND ME.
I KNOW WE HAVE RULES
BUT I'LL BREAK THEM ALL
TO SAVE ONE LITTLE GIRL
FROM THEIR EXPERIMENTS.
I KNOW... I'M SORRY.
I ONLY MEANT--
I'LL GIVE YOU
TWO DAYS.
48 HOURS.
THEN I WANT HER.
THANK YOU.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.
WHERE WILL YOU BE?
I'LL BE WATCHING.
( knocking on door )
YOU'RE GETTING
REALLY GOOD.
IT'S A LOT
OF FUN.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW
MOMMY AND DADDY.
AGGIE, YOU REALLY CAN'T SHOW
MOMMY AND DADDY.
THE POWER WE HAVE IS A SECRET.
THE BIGGEST SECRET EVER.
WHY?
WELL, EVEN GROWN-UPS,
EVEN MOMMIES AND DADDIES
CAN ACT LIKE THOSE KIDS
AT SCHOOL.
THEY THINK WE CAN
MAKE THEM DO THINGS
AND THEY CAN'T STOP US.
IT MAKES THEM AFRAID.
AND SOMETIMES,
IT MAKES THEM MEAN.
YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND
MEAN PEOPLE, THOUGH.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU
THERE WAS A PLACE,
A SPECIAL PLACE,
WHERE THERE WERE LOTS OF
OTHER GIRLS JUST LIKE YOU.
THAT'S WHERE I LIVE,
AND IT'S CALLED SANCTUARY.
IS IT A TOWN?
SOMETIMES WE'RE IN A TOWN.
SANCTUARY'S REALLY
MORE OF A GROUP.
WE MOVE AROUND TO STAY SAFE
FROM BAD PEOPLE.
WE TEACH EACH OTHER
AND WE PROTECT EACH OTHER.
AND WHEN WE'RE READY
WE FIND OTHERS THAT NEED US.
COOL.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO?
CAN I TAKE MOM AND DAD?
NO, AGGIE.
SANCTUARY ISN'T
FOR THEM.
WELL, THEN I GUESS
IT'S NOT FOR ME EITHER.
ALL RIGHT,
I'M GETTING A GOOD
DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL.
IF YOU TAKE THE VAN DOWN 14th,
YOU GET A FIX,
WE'LL FINALLY BE ABLE
TO TRIANGULATE.
ALL RIGHT, OUT.
OW!
AGGIE,
REMEMBER CONTROL.
AGGIE IS SO MUCH BETTER,
KAREN.
IT'S THANKS TO YOU.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE WORKER.
NO, JUST IN
THE RIGHT PLACE
AT THE RIGHT TIME.
SHE'S JUST OUTGROWING
HER PROBLEMS.
EXCUSE ME.
I HAVE TO GO TO
THE LITTLE GIRLS' ROOM.
O. K.
( Karen )
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
( Jean )
I'VE BEEN WATCHING.
SHE HAS A LOT
OF ANGER.
YOU'VE TOLD HER
ABOUT SANCTUARY?
SHE DOESN'T
WANT TO GO.
WITH THE TRACKERS
THIS CLOSE
WE CAN'T WAIT
ANY LONGER.
AND TO HELL
WITH OUR RULES?
THE YEAR BEFORE
I RESCUED YOU
I FOUND THIS
LITTLE GIRL
IN MODESTO,
CALIFORNIA.
HER NAME WAS JOY.
SHE WAS SO SMART,
AND PRETTY.
SHE WAS
A LITTLE BALLERINA
AND WAS ABLE TO FOCUS ENOUGH
SO SHE COULD ALMOST FLY.
JOY LOVED HER PARENTS,
AND I WAS YOUNG.
I DIDN'T SEE WHY I SHOULD
TAKE HER AWAY FROM THEM.
YEARS LATER I SAW HER
AFTER THEY'D BEEN TESTING HER
AT ONE OF THEIR CAMPS.
WHEN THEY FINISHED,
THEY NEUTRALIZED HER,
WHICH IS A POLITE TERM
FOR THEIR KIND
OF ELECTRO-SHOCK.
SHE COULD BARELY WALK,
MUCH LESS DANCE.
THEY KILLED
WHAT MADE JOY SPECIAL.
I'LL BE WAITING
AT THE BURRARD MOTOR INN,
CORNER OF BURRARD AND 3rd,
ROOM 23.
THAT WAS FUN.
YEAH, THAT
WAS FUN.
CAN WE STAY LONGER?
NO, SWEETHEART,
WE'LL COME BACK
NEXT WEEK.
NEXT WEEK IS TOO FAR.
AREN'T YOU TIRED?
NO, I'M
NOT TIRED.
ALL THAT SUGAR.
I'VE GOT
AN IDEA.
YOU TWO GO ON,
AND WE'LL WALK.
YEAH, MOM,
CAN WE, PLEASE?
PLEASE, MOMMY?
THAT SOUNDS
GOOD, SURE.
MEET US BACK
AT THE HOUSE.
O. K.?
YOU GOT IT.
TAG, YOU'RE IT!
HAVE FUN.
LOOK AT HER.
THIS IS GREAT.
THAT'S OUR NEW
LITTLE GIRL.
OH, I CAN'T
BELIEVE THIS, JOE.
HELLO, JEAN.
YOU FOLLOWED ME FROM
PARKVIEW.
ACTUALLY,
I FOLLOWED
A TRANSPONDER.
I ATTACHED IT TO YOUR PURSE
IN THE BOOKSTORE.
THEN WHERE ARE
THE OTHERS?
OH, THEY'LL BE HERE
SHORTLY.
MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE THIS
MUCH LESS UNPLEASANT
AND SIMPLY TELL ME
WHERE MARTHA IS.
AND I KNOW THERE'S
ANOTHER LITTLE GIRL INVOLVED.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE'RE GOING
TO FIND OUT, JEAN.
BY THE END OF THE DAY
WE'LL HAVE
YOUR ASSISTANT KIDNAPPER
AND THE GIRL.
AND ONE OTHER THING--
THE LOCATION OF SANCTUARY.
WE'LL HAVE YOUR PEOPLE
IN THE CAMP
BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
GENERATIONS OF WOMEN LIKE ME
HAVE BEEN HUNTED
BY MEN LIKE YOU.
YOU USED TO BURN US
AT THE STAKE.
NOW YOU JUST NEUTRALIZE US.
ALL BECAUSE WE COULD DO THINGS
YOU COULDN'T.
YOU'RE SO AFRAID
OF BEING REPLACED,
LIKE THE NEANDERTHALS.
THE WAY YOU'VE ACTED,
YOU DESERVE TO BE REPLACED.
OH, MANY TIMES I'VE WISHED
WE COULD FIGHT BACK.
BUT THAT ISN'T OUR WAY.
I'LL DIE BEFORE
I'LL TELL YOU ANYTHING.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE, JEAN.
YOU ARE GOING TO DO
A LOT OF TALKING.
KAREN, HOW COME
I CAN DO THINGS?
YOU HAVE
A Z CHROMOSOME.
ONLY A FEW WOMEN
HAVE IT.
MAYBE ONE
IN A MILLION.
IT'S A KEY TO
BEING ABLE TO FOCUS.
WELL, YOU HAVE A Z CHROMOSOME,
TOO, DON'T YOU?
YES.
I'M NOT AS STRONG
AS YOU, THOUGH.
THE OLDER YOU GET
THE WEAKER
YOUR POWERS GET.
SO, HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
WE WERE JUST
BORN WITH IT.
SOME MEN HAVE
AN EXTRA
Y CHROMOSOME.
IT'S NATURE'S WAY OF
TRYING SOMETHING NEW.
MAYBE IN 500 YEARS
WE'LL ALL HAVE Zs.
IF IT MAKES ME
SO DIFFERENT
HOW COME THEY JUST CAN'T
TAKE IT OUT?
WELL, IT'S TOO SMALL
TO EVEN SEE,
MUCH LESS TAKE OUT.
HOW LONG ARE YOU
GOING TO STAY
AT OUR HOUSE?
WE'LL SEE.
THAT'S NOT
A REAL ANSWER.
LET'S GO OVER
THIS WAY.
ALL RIGHT, I SEE YOU.
I'VE GOT THE WOMAN
IN CUSTODY.
TAKE UP POSITIONS
AND STAND BY.
WAIT FOR MY CALL.
( thud )
DAMN IT.
CYANIDE.
FRONT DESK.
COULD YOU TELL ME IF ANY CALLS
WERE MADE FROM THIS ROOM?
UM, ROOM 23.
GOOD... I'LL BE RIGHT OVER.
SO, WHAT WILL YOU BE
WHEN YOU GROW UP?
I'M ALREADY
GROWN UP.
I MEAN WHEN YOU'RE
REALLY OLD, LIKE 30.
UM, I ALWAYS WANTED
TO HELP PEOPLE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO BE?
A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S
MUCH MONEY IN THAT.
YOU JUST WANT
TO BE ALONE.
SO DID I,
BUT YOU CAN'T.
HEY, THIS ISN'T
THE WAY HOME.
I JUST WANT
TO SEE A FRIEND.
IS THAT O. K.?
ALL RIGHT.
IS SHE NICE?
ARE WE ALMOST THERE?
STAY HERE A MINUTE, AGGIE.
JEAN?
OH,
JEAN.
AGGIE, WAIT.
AGGIE, COME BACK.
LET ME EXPLAIN.
MR. AND MRS.
JOSEPH TRAVIS?
YEAH.
SPECIAL AGENT WALSH.
I'M HERE ABOUT
YOUR DAUGHTER.
IS THERE
A PROBLEM?
IS THIS YOUR NANNY?
DOES SHE GO BY
THE NAME OF MARTHA?
WELL, THAT'S HER,
BUT HER NAME'S KAREN.
DID KAREN EVER
GIVE YOUR CHILD A GIFT?
YES. HAS SHE
DONE SOMETHING?
WAS IT A CRYSTAL
ON A NECK CHAIN?
YES, IT WAS.
HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?
MY AGENCY KNOWS A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT THIS KAREN.
SHE KIDNAPS CHILDREN.
WHAT?
MOMMY.
BABY, WHAT HAPPENED?
HELLO, AGGIE,
MY NAME'S TERRY.
CAN YOU TELL ME
WHERE KAREN IS?
AT THE OTHER PLACE.
WHAT OTHER
PLACE?
THAT'S ENOUGH
QUESTIONS FOR NOW.
AGGIE,
GO UPSTAIRS.
WHO IS HE?
DO AS YOUR
MOTHER SAYS.
I'LL COME GET YOU.
WHO IS HE?
AGGIE!
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
I'M SORRY,
I'LL NEED AGGIE'S HELP.
WHEN SHE'S CALMED DOWN
I'LL GET HER
TO COME DOWN TO THE OFFICE.
SHE'S NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.
YOU DON'T REALIZE
HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.
THERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
MY SECTION FINDS THEM.
HOW DO YOU MEAN
DANGEROUS?
BECAUSE
THEY'RE DIFFERENT.
THEY PREY ON INNOCENT
LITTLE GIRLS LIKE YOUR DAUGHTER.
THEY CAN'T BE CONTROLLED
OR STOPPED
AND THEY DON'T FOLLOW RULES.
RULES THAT
LET YOU
HUNT GIRLS
LIKE AGGIE?
KAREN.
KAREN, WHAT'S
GOING ON?
THERE'S THESE PEOPLE
IN THE GOVERNMENT
THAT STUDIED WOMEN
LIKE ME, LIKE AGGIE.
THEY GOT AFRAID
OF WHAT THEY FOUND.
THEY CONVINCED THEMSELVES
THAT WE WERE A THREAT.
YOU ARE A THREAT.
YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?
( Karen )
WHY DO YOU THINK
I CAME BACK HERE?
HE KILLED
MY BEST FRIEND.
I CAME BACK BECAUSE
I CARE ABOUT AGGIE.
SHE'S LYING!
AGGIE HAS
THIS POWER.
IT'S SOMETHING
SHE'S BORN WITH.
SHUT UP!
NO, AGGIE.
AGGIE, DON'T
KILL HIM.
HE HURT YOU.
YOU'LL BE AS BAD
AS THEY ARE.
MY GOD.
HE'S NOT DEAD.
WHERE AM I?
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M AGGIE TRAVIS.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
TERRY... IT'S TERRY.
WHAT AM I
DOING HERE?
AGGIE, WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE TO HIM?
I... ERASED
THE BAD PARTS.
MORE MEN FROM
WALSH'S AGENCY
WILL BE HERE.
WE'VE ONLY BOUGHT
A FEW MOMENTS.
THEN YOU
HAVE TO GO?
I HAVE TO TAKE
AGGIE WITH ME.
YOU CAN'T TAKE HER,
SHE'S OUR LITTLE GIRL.
I WISH I COULD DO
ANYTHING
TO CHANGE THIS.
JOE, YOU SAW
WHAT HAPPENED.
A MAN CAME
INTO OUR HOUSE
TO TAKE
AGGIE AWAY.
WE'LL HIDE HER.
THEY'LL FIND YOU.
DAD, I HAVE TO BE WITH
PEOPLE LIKE ME.
OH, BABY.
I'LL TAKE GOOD CARE
OF HER.
SHE NEEDS TO BE
SAFE, JOE.
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE
DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL.
YOU PROMISE
YOU'LL COME BACK
SOMEDAY SOON.
I LOVE YOU, DADDY.
I LOVE YOU
TOO, HONEY.
THE WARS OF EVOLUTION
ARE FOUGHT OVER GENERATIONS.
BUT SOMETIMES, ONLY
THE FITTEST SURVIVE BATTLES
WHICH LAST
THE BRIEFEST MOMENTS.
100 YEARS FROM NOW,
A NEW RACE MAY LOOK BACK
AND SAY
THIS LITTLE GIRL'S STAND
WAS A TURNING POINT.
KICK IT BACK, SCUM WAD.
DID YOU HEAR ME?
I'M NOT A SCUM WAD.
O. K., YOU'RE NOT A SCUM WAD.
YOU'RE A SCUM PILE.
( kids jeering )
GET AWAY FROM ME.
MAKE US.
OW!
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

WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION

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.
IT IS THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
PEOPLE THAT CAUSE
CONFLICTS--
DIFFERENCES IN RELIGION,
IN RACE, IN BELIEFS.
WHAT WARS WOULD BE FOUGHT
IF THE DIFFERENCES
GREW BETWEEN
TWO INTELLIGENT SPECIES--
HUMANS AND THOSE WHO MIGHT
ULTIMATELY REPLACE US?
( Principal )
THIS IS THE FIFTH INCIDENT
IN AS MANY WEEKS.
ONE GIRL CLAIMS TO HAVE BEEN
PUSHED OFF THE SLIDE.
ONE CLASSROOM LOOKED LIKE
THE TASMANIAN DEVIL
HAD GONE THROUGH IT.
AGGIE CLAIMS TO HAVE
NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
WE REALIZE
THAT AGGIE
HAS SOME EMOTIONAL
PROBLEMS.
WE'RE DEALING
WITH IT.
IF YOU COULD
RECONSIDER.
GIVE HER
ANOTHER CHANCE?
THE PROBLEM
IS THE OTHER PARENTS.
WHAT DO YOU
MEAN?
WE'RE PUTTING THEIR CHILDREN
INTO AN UNSAFE ENVIRONMENT
AND WE'RE LEGALLY LIABLE.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO INSIST
THAT AGGIE BE REMOVED.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
YOU WANT US TO PUT HER
IN REFORM SCHOOL?
SHE'S A KID.
I SUGGEST A SCHOOL FOR
SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN.
SPECIAL NEEDS?
MY DAUGHTER
ISN'T RETARDED.
NO ONE'S SAYING THAT.
WE WOULDN'T HAVE
THIS DISCUSSION
IF NOT FOR HER
BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS.
WE'D PUT HER INTO
ANOTHER GRADE.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY,
HER BEHAVIOR IS DESTRUCTIVE,
IT'S UNCONTROLLABLE AND--
AND WHAT?
DANGEROUS.
THIS IS
RIDICULOUS.
DANGEROUS?
WE KNOW AGGIE
HAS PROBLEMS.
SHE MAKES A MESS
EVERY NOW AND AGAIN,
BUT SHE DOESN'T
LIE TO US.
SHE NEVER
HURT ANYONE.
CLARK HOWELL
DID NOT HIT HIMSELF.
I'M SORRY, I HAVE TO
SUSPEND AGGIE FROM SCHOOL
FOR THE NEXT TWO WEEKS--
UNTIL THE END
OF TERM.
THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO MY CHILD.
THE OTHER PARENTS
AREN'T THE ONLY ONES
WHO CAN FILE SUIT,
YOU KNOW.
SO, IS SHE IN BED YET?
ALMOST.
IT'S SO HARD, JOE.
SHE WON'T TALK
TO ME AT ALL.
IT'S THE SAME
FOR ME.
SHE CAN'T
UNDERSTAND
WHY WE WON'T
BELIEVE HER.
SHE ACTUALLY
FEELS BETRAYED.
WHAT ARE WE GOING
TO DO WITH HER?
I DON'T KNOW.
I THINK WE SHOULD GET
SOMEONE FOR AGGIE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"GET SOMEONE"?
WELL, A FULL-TIME
LIVE-IN.
SOMEONE WHO CAN TAKE
THE PRESSURE OFF US.
SOMEONE AT WORK SAID
THERE'S A NEW AGENCY IN TOWN.
MAYBE THEY HAVE SOMEONE
WHO DEALS IN PROBLEM KIDS.
WE CAN'T AFFORD
IT RIGHT NOW.
WE CAN'T NOT
AFFORD IT!
WE DON'T HAVE
ANY CHOICE.
LET'S SAY WE FIND
SOMEONE.
HOW LONG COULD WE
KEEP THEM?
HAVING A KID WHO HITS
OTHER CHILDREN AND LIES.
WE DON'T
KNOW THAT.
JOE, PLEASE.
EVERY TIME
SOMETHING BREAKS
AGGIE SAYS SHE
DIDN'T DO IT.
LESLIE, I'M NOT
TRYING TO ARGUE.
I'M JUST TRYING
TO WORK THIS THING OUT.
( knocking on door )
AGGIE,
UNLOCK THE DOOR.
AGGIE?
DON'T DO
THIS, AGGIE.
AGGIE, OPEN
THIS DOOR!
OH, MY GOD.
AGGIE,
WHAT IS THIS?
EVERYTHING JUST STARTED
SHAKING.
BY ITSELF?
LOOK AT
THIS MESS!
JOE, YOU'RE
FRIGHTENING HER.
THIS HAS GOT TO STOP!
I DON'T KNOW WHY
THIS HAPPENS.
WHY DON'T YOU
BELIEVE ME?
AGGIE.
DAMN IT, JOE.
( crash )
OH, GOD. AGGIE?
( phone ringing )
ANTIQUARIUS BOOKS,
RUTH SPEAKING.
JEAN, DO WE HAVE
ANY PAPERBACK COPIES
OF THAT NEW
MARGARET ATWOOD NOVEL?
WE'LL BE GETTING IN A COUPLE
LATER THIS WEEK.
CHECK WITH US FRIDAY.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT.
DO WHAT?
REMEMBER ALL
THESE THINGS
WHILE YOU'RE
READING
ALL THOSE
NEWSPAPERS.
I'VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE
TO CHANGE GEARS.
THIS IS JEAN.
I'VE GOT ANOTHER PROSPECT
FOR YOU.
SARAH AND RACHEL
ARE BUSY WITH OTHERS.
THE LOCATION IS
EUGENE, OREGON.
THE FAMILY'S NAME
IS TRAVIS.
ARE YOU ALL HERE
FOR THE LIVE-IN JOB?
I THOUGHT I WAS EARLY.
WE HAD
THE SAME IDEA.
ABOUT GETTING HERE
EARLY, I MEAN.
IT'S PRETTY TOUGH
NOWADAYS
WITH ALL
THE COMPETITION.
WE ALL WANTED
TO MAKE
A FIRST
IMPRESSION.
I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.
I'M PROBABLY
THE MOST QUALIFIED.
I HAVE A DEGREE IN EARLY
CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT
FROM BROWN.
I LIKE YOUR DRESS.
THANK YOU.
OW, MAN.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
I GET THESE MIGRAINES.
I'LL BE O. K.
ARE YOU SURE?
OH... MAYBE NOT.
EXCUSE ME.
I LIKE YOUR DRESS.
WE'RE READY TO SEE
THE FIRST...
HI, I'M KAREN ROSS.
OH, UH, HI, I'M--I'M JOE.
COME ON IN, COME ON IN.
I COME FROM A LARGE FAMILY,
AND I LOVE KIDS.
THERE WERE EIGHT OF US.
I WAS THE OLDEST,
SO I HELPED OUT A LOT.
YOU HAVE JUST THE ONE CHILD?
AGGIE.
SHE'S 10.
WE SHOULD
TELL YOU...
THERE'VE BEEN
SOME PROBLEMS.
WHAT KIND OF PROBLEMS?
AGGIE IS JUST A LITTLE...
WELL, AT FIRST THE DOCTORS
THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE
ATTENTION DEFICIENT DISORDER.
IT COULD BE WORSE THAN THAT.
SHE GETS
A LITTLE...
WELL, WE'VE HAD SOME
PROBLEMS AT SCHOOL
INVOLVING OTHER KIDS.
AND SOMETIMES
SHE BREAKS THINGS.
SHE BREAKS THINGS?
HER TOYS
AND SOMETIMES DISHES.
THOSE KINDS
OF THINGS.
BUT SHE'S
A NICE KID.
I'D LIKE TO MEET HER.
OF COURSE.
EXCUSE ME.
KAREN,
HAVE A SEAT.
UM,
YOUR LAST JOB,
WHY DID
YOU LEAVE?
THE FAMILY MOVED
TO HAWAII.
THERE'S
A NUMBER THERE.
TWO LITTLE BOYS,
THEY WERE ADORABLE.
AGGIE, THIS IS KAREN.
IT'S NICE TO MEET YOU.
AGGIE'S A PRETTY NAME.
IS IT SHORT FOR ANYTHING?
AGATHA?
AGORAPHOBIA?
HEY, I'VE GOT AN IDEA.
WHY DON'T YOU SHOW ME
YOUR ROOM?
THAT'S
A GOOD IDEA.
GO AHEAD, HONEY.
THIS IS PRETTY.
WHAT A COOL BED.
I USED TO LOVE
TO BOUNCE ON MY BED.
I BET YOU COULD BOUNCE
UP TO THE CEILING.
OH, I USED TO HAVE
A CLOWN JUST LIKE THAT
WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE.
CAN I SEE HER?
PLEASE?
I'LL SHOW YOU SOMETHING
YOUR CLOWN CAN DO
I BET YOU DIDN'T KNOW
ABOUT.
( squeaky voice )
HI, AGGIE.
OH, YOU DON'T LIKE
OUR NEW FRIEND KAREN.
I SURE DO.
I CAN MAKE HER DANCE--WATCH.
UM-PAH, UM-PAH, UM UM.
YOU MUST THINK I'M 5.
AGGIE?
AGGIE, OPEN THE DOOR,
PLEASE.
GO AWAY!
GO AWAY.
DID I SCARE YOU?
IF I SCARED YOU,
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
I ONLY MEANT TO SHOW YOU
WHAT I CAN DO.
WHY?
YOU KNOW WHY, AGGIE.
NO, I DON'T.
YOU'RE
JUST LIKE ME.
YOU CAN DO THINGS.
NO, I CAN'T.
I'M NOT LIKE ANYBODY.
YES, YOU ARE.
THINGS JUST HAPPEN
ON THEIR OWN
WHEN YOU'RE AROUND,
AND PEOPLE DON'T LIKE YOU
BECAUSE OF IT.
I DON'T MAKE THINGS
HAPPEN.
I'LL TEACH YOU
HOW TO CONTROL YOUR POWER.
I DON'T WANT
TO CONTROL IT.
I WANT IT
TO GO AWAY!
IS EVERYTHING
ALL RIGHT?
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
AGGIE AND I WILL
GET ALONG JUST GREAT.
WHAT DO
YOU THINK?
WOULD YOU LIKE KAREN
TO STAY WITH US?
AGGIE?
IT'S UP TO YOU, SWEETHEART.
DO YOU WANT KAREN TO STAY?
I GUESS.
WELL, THEN,
IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVE A JOB.
EXCELLENT.
HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN
MISSING, MR. HAGAN?
THREE WEEKS.
WE ALREADY WENT THROUGH THIS
WITH THE POLICE.
I'D THINK YOU'D HAVE
BETTER THINGS TO DO
THAN TO QUESTION US
OVER AND OVER.
MY AGENCY CONDUCTS
ITS OWN INVESTIGATIONS.
WHAT AGENCY
WAS THAT?
THE FBI?
NO, SIR.
MY AGENCY HAS A SLIGHTLY
NARROWER FOCUS THAN THE FBI.
WE CONCENTRATE ON
MISSING CHILDREN LIKE LUCY.
WELL, SHE WAS WALKING
HOME FROM SCHOOL.
PEOPLE SAW HER
LEAVING THE PLAYGROUND
AND WAITING
FOR THE BUS.
AND THEN SHE
WAS GONE.
SHE WOULDN'T RIDE
WITH SOMEBODY
SHE DIDN'T KNOW.
LUCY HAD TOO MUCH
COMMON SENSE.
IS IT POSSIBLE
THAT SHE WAS
PICKED UP BY
HER NANNY, MARTHA?
NO, MARTHA
WASN'T IN TOWN.
TWO WEEKS BEFORE
LUCY DISAPPEARED
MARTHA HAD
A FAMILY EMERGENCY
AND HAD TO GO
TO FLORIDA.
( Mr. Hagan )
YOU DON'T THINK MARTHA
HAD SOMETHING
TO DO WITH THIS.
OH, MY GOD.
IS THIS A PHOTO
OF MARTHA?
YES.
NO, SHE...
SHE COULDN'T
HAVE ANYTHING
TO DO WITH...
SHE LOVED LUCY.
TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU CAN
ABOUT MARTHA.
SHE WAS NEW IN TOWN.
SHE DIDN'T HAVE
A LOT OF FRIENDS.
SHE SAID SHE WAS
AN ONLY CHILD.
DID MARTHA EVER GIVE
YOUR DAUGHTER
A GIFT?
A SMALL CRYSTAL?
HOW DID YOU KNOW
ABOUT THAT?
DO YOU HAVE ANY RECORDS
CONCERNING MARTHA?
SOCIAL SECURITY FORMS,
RESUMES, PHONE BILLS...
ANYTHING THAT MIGHT TELL ME
WHERE TO FIND HER.
THERE'S SOMETHING.
SHE WOULD GET PARCELS--
I DON'T KNOW IF
THEY WERE FROM HOME--
THAT HAD THIS
PRETTY LABEL ON IT.
IT WAS ANTIQUAR--
ANTIQUARIUS BOOKS.
ANTIQUARIUS BOOKS.
WHICH CITY?
I JUST REMEMBER
THE NAME OF THE STORE.
WELL,
I THINK THAT WILL HELP.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WILL YOU FIND LUCY?
IF IT'S NOT TOO LATE.
OH, YEAH, IT'S WALSH HERE.
PATCH ME TO SELMA.
SELMA?
I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A LEAD.
I NEED THE LOCATION
OF AN ANTIQUARIUS BOOKSTORE
SOMEWHERE
IN THE CONTINENTAL U. S.
OH, AND GET ME A PLANE
AND A CAR.
I DON'T CARE
HOW MANY THERE ARE.
I'LL CHECK THEM ALL.
( phone ringing )
ANTIQUARIUS BOOKS, THIS IS JEAN.
HI, IT'S ME.
YOU SHOULD KNOW,
I'VE MADE CONTACT AND WE
DEFINITELY HAVE
A POSITIVE--
A LITTLE GIRL NAMED
AGGIE TRAVIS.
GOOD.
HOW SOON WILL SHE BE READY?
THE MOTHER'S SUSPICIOUS,
BUT I'M WORKING ON IT.
IT WON'T BE LONG.
SO, AGGIE,
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?
HMM.
DO YOU HAVE
ANY FRIENDS?
NO.
PEOPLE DON'T WANT
TO BE FRIENDS
WITH ME.
I DO.
MY PARENTS
PAY YOU.
WELL, THAT DOESN'T MEAN
WE CAN'T BE FRIENDS,
DOES IT?
I USED TO GET
THOSE HEADACHES, TOO.
YOU DID?
YEAH.
ESPECIALLY
WHEN I WAS MAD.
SOMETIMES I COULD SEE
THIS GLOW AROUND PEOPLE
AND IF I SQUEEZED IT
DOWN TIGHT
THINGS WOULD HAPPEN
TO THEM.
YOU WERE LIKE ME
WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE?
YOU'RE NOT ALONE, AGGIE.
LOOK AT THE STRAW.
HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?
I FOCUSED.
I SQUEEZED THE LIGHT
TO A POINT.
YOU CAN FOCUS,
TOO.
IT GETS GOOFED UP
WHEN I DO IT.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO.
THIS WILL
HELP YOU FOCUS.
LOOK, I HAVE ONE, TOO.
THINK ABOUT THE STRAW.
I CAN'T.
YES, YOU CAN.
DON'T GET MAD.
REALLY CONCENTRATE.
THAT WAS CLOSER.
TRY IT
ONE MORE TIME.
THINK ONLY
OF THE STRAW.
BLOCK EVERYTHING
ELSE OUT.
YOU'RE DOING THAT.
NO, YOU'RE
DOING THAT.
THAT WAS
EXCELLENT.
WHEN YOU GOT MAD
DID YOU
HURT PEOPLE?
I DID UNTIL I LEARNED
HOW TO CONTROL IT.
I DON'T WANT
TO CONTROL IT.
WHEN PEOPLE
ARE MEAN TO ME
I WANT THEM
TO GET HURT.
IT ISN'T RIGHT,
AGGIE.
WE DON'T USE
OUR POWERS
TO HURT PEOPLE.
WHY NOT?
BECAUSE NATURE
DIDN'T GIVE US
THESE POWERS
TO HURT PEOPLE.
ONCE YOU LEARN
HOW TO FOCUS
PEOPLE WON'T BE
MEAN AS OFTEN.
WE'LL PRACTISE EVERY DAY,
JUST THE TWO OF US.
EXCUSE ME.
DO YOU HAVE ANY BOOKS
ON THE HUMAN GENOME PROGRAM?
I'LL SEE.
JEAN, IS IT?
THAT'S A VERY
INTERESTING CRYSTAL
YOU'RE WEARING, JEAN.
WHERE WOULD I GET ONE
JUST LIKE THAT?
THIS IS ONE OF A KIND.
NO, I THINK
I'VE SEEN SEVERAL CRYSTALS
JUST LIKE THAT.
WHO ARE YOU?
JUST A MAN
WITH SOME QUESTIONS, JEAN.
FOR EXAMPLE,
WHERE IS LUCY HAGAN?
OR A NANNY NAMED MARTHA?
RUTH!
RUTH, COME--
NO, NO, NO,
LET ME TELL YOU...
SHOULD I CALL
THE POLICE?
NO, DON'T BOTHER.
BYE, JEAN.
JEAN, IS THERE
ANYTHING I CAN DO?
JUST TELL EVERYONE
I'LL BE GONE FOR A FEW DAYS.
YEAH, I FOUND HER.
FACE TO FACE
WITH THE FAMOUS JEAN ANDERSON,
WHICH IS WHAT SHE'S
CALLING HERSELF THESE DAYS.
NO, NO, I DIDN'T HAVE HER
PICKED UP,
BECAUSE SHE'S OVER 50.
HER POWERS ARE SO DIMINISHED
SHE ISN'T A THREAT.
BUT SHE MAY LEAD US TO OTHERS,
MAYBE EVEN SANCTUARY ITSELF.
YEAH.
HELLO?
AGGIE?
AGGIE, WHERE ARE YOU GUYS?
AGGIE?
AGGIE, WHERE ARE YOU?
HI.
OH, I WAS
REALLY WORRIED.
YOU SHOULD HAVE
LEFT ME A NOTE.
I DID.
IT'S IN THE KITCHEN.
I SAID WE'D BE BACK BY NOW.
IS THAT O. K.?
YEAH, THAT'S FINE, FINE.
DID YOU HAVE FUN,
SWEETHEART?
YEAH, I GUESS.
YOU GUESS?
THAT'S A LOT BETTER THAN NO.
I REALLY LIKE KAREN.
YOU DO?
THAT'S GREAT... THAT'S GREAT.
GO WASH UP, O. K.?
O. K.
WOW.
YOU SEEM TO HAVE
SOME KIND OF MAGIC.
HI THERE.
SOMEONE CAME HOME
IN A GOOD MOOD.
I AM IN
A GOOD MOOD.
WHY?
I'M HAPPY BECAUSE
AGGIE'S HAPPY.
I HAVEN'T SEEN
HER LIKE THIS
IN A LONG TIME.
IT WORKED.
WHAT WORKED?
KAREN.
WHAT?
DON'T YOU LIKE HER?
YES, I LIKE HER.
IT'S JUST...
JUST...?
SHE'S TOO PERFECT.
IF SHE'S SO GOOD
WHY HASN'T SHE STAYED
WITH ANOTHER FAMILY
FOR A LONG TIME?
SHE DID. THOSE
PEOPLE IN HAWAII.
DIDN'T YOU CALL THEM?
I SPOKE WITH
THE MOTHER... JEAN.
YEAH, AND WHAT
DID JEAN SAY?
WELL, ACCORDING TO HER,
KAREN IS HEAVEN-SENT.
HEAVEN-SENT?
THAT'S A PROBLEM?
SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.
I THINK WE LUCKED OUT
FOR ONCE.
LET'S JUST ENJOY IT.
JEAN, I CAME AS
SOON AS I COULD.
IT'S THE TRACKERS.
THEY FOUND ME.
OH, MY GOD.
WHY DIDN'T THEY
GRAB YOU?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT THEY'LL FIND ME AGAIN,
AND FIND YOU AND AGGIE.
HOW IS SHE?
SHE'S NOWHERE NEAR READY.
WE CAN'T BE CONCERNED WITH THAT.
BRING HER TO ME.
I NEED MORE TIME.
IF WE TAKE HER NOW
SHE'LL NEVER REALLY TRUST US.
IF THE TRACKER FINDS US,
IT'S THE CAMP FOR HER,
AND GOD KNOWS WHAT
FOR YOU AND ME.
I KNOW WE HAVE RULES
BUT I'LL BREAK THEM ALL
TO SAVE ONE LITTLE GIRL
FROM THEIR EXPERIMENTS.
I KNOW... I'M SORRY.
I ONLY MEANT--
I'LL GIVE YOU
TWO DAYS.
48 HOURS.
THEN I WANT HER.
THANK YOU.
KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN.
WHERE WILL YOU BE?
I'LL BE WATCHING.
( knocking on door )
YOU'RE GETTING
REALLY GOOD.
IT'S A LOT
OF FUN.
I CAN'T WAIT TO SHOW
MOMMY AND DADDY.
AGGIE, YOU REALLY CAN'T SHOW
MOMMY AND DADDY.
THE POWER WE HAVE IS A SECRET.
THE BIGGEST SECRET EVER.
WHY?
WELL, EVEN GROWN-UPS,
EVEN MOMMIES AND DADDIES
CAN ACT LIKE THOSE KIDS
AT SCHOOL.
THEY THINK WE CAN
MAKE THEM DO THINGS
AND THEY CAN'T STOP US.
IT MAKES THEM AFRAID.
AND SOMETIMES,
IT MAKES THEM MEAN.
YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.
I DON'T WANT TO BE AROUND
MEAN PEOPLE, THOUGH.
WHAT IF I TOLD YOU
THERE WAS A PLACE,
A SPECIAL PLACE,
WHERE THERE WERE LOTS OF
OTHER GIRLS JUST LIKE YOU.
THAT'S WHERE I LIVE,
AND IT'S CALLED SANCTUARY.
IS IT A TOWN?
SOMETIMES WE'RE IN A TOWN.
SANCTUARY'S REALLY
MORE OF A GROUP.
WE MOVE AROUND TO STAY SAFE
FROM BAD PEOPLE.
WE TEACH EACH OTHER
AND WE PROTECT EACH OTHER.
AND WHEN WE'RE READY
WE FIND OTHERS THAT NEED US.
COOL.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO GO?
CAN I TAKE MOM AND DAD?
NO, AGGIE.
SANCTUARY ISN'T
FOR THEM.
WELL, THEN I GUESS
IT'S NOT FOR ME EITHER.
ALL RIGHT,
I'M GETTING A GOOD
DIRECTIONAL SIGNAL.
IF YOU TAKE THE VAN DOWN 14th,
YOU GET A FIX,
WE'LL FINALLY BE ABLE
TO TRIANGULATE.
ALL RIGHT, OUT.
OW!
AGGIE,
REMEMBER CONTROL.
AGGIE IS SO MUCH BETTER,
KAREN.
IT'S THANKS TO YOU.
YOU'RE A MIRACLE WORKER.
NO, JUST IN
THE RIGHT PLACE
AT THE RIGHT TIME.
SHE'S JUST OUTGROWING
HER PROBLEMS.
EXCUSE ME.
I HAVE TO GO TO
THE LITTLE GIRLS' ROOM.
O. K.
( Karen )
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?
( Jean )
I'VE BEEN WATCHING.
SHE HAS A LOT
OF ANGER.
YOU'VE TOLD HER
ABOUT SANCTUARY?
SHE DOESN'T
WANT TO GO.
WITH THE TRACKERS
THIS CLOSE
WE CAN'T WAIT
ANY LONGER.
AND TO HELL
WITH OUR RULES?
THE YEAR BEFORE
I RESCUED YOU
I FOUND THIS
LITTLE GIRL
IN MODESTO,
CALIFORNIA.
HER NAME WAS JOY.
SHE WAS SO SMART,
AND PRETTY.
SHE WAS
A LITTLE BALLERINA
AND WAS ABLE TO FOCUS ENOUGH
SO SHE COULD ALMOST FLY.
JOY LOVED HER PARENTS,
AND I WAS YOUNG.
I DIDN'T SEE WHY I SHOULD
TAKE HER AWAY FROM THEM.
YEARS LATER I SAW HER
AFTER THEY'D BEEN TESTING HER
AT ONE OF THEIR CAMPS.
WHEN THEY FINISHED,
THEY NEUTRALIZED HER,
WHICH IS A POLITE TERM
FOR THEIR KIND
OF ELECTRO-SHOCK.
SHE COULD BARELY WALK,
MUCH LESS DANCE.
THEY KILLED
WHAT MADE JOY SPECIAL.
I'LL BE WAITING
AT THE BURRARD MOTOR INN,
CORNER OF BURRARD AND 3rd,
ROOM 23.
THAT WAS FUN.
YEAH, THAT
WAS FUN.
CAN WE STAY LONGER?
NO, SWEETHEART,
WE'LL COME BACK
NEXT WEEK.
NEXT WEEK IS TOO FAR.
AREN'T YOU TIRED?
NO, I'M
NOT TIRED.
ALL THAT SUGAR.
I'VE GOT
AN IDEA.
YOU TWO GO ON,
AND WE'LL WALK.
YEAH, MOM,
CAN WE, PLEASE?
PLEASE, MOMMY?
THAT SOUNDS
GOOD, SURE.
MEET US BACK
AT THE HOUSE.
O. K.?
YOU GOT IT.
TAG, YOU'RE IT!
HAVE FUN.
LOOK AT HER.
THIS IS GREAT.
THAT'S OUR NEW
LITTLE GIRL.
OH, I CAN'T
BELIEVE THIS, JOE.
HELLO, JEAN.
YOU FOLLOWED ME FROM
PARKVIEW.
ACTUALLY,
I FOLLOWED
A TRANSPONDER.
I ATTACHED IT TO YOUR PURSE
IN THE BOOKSTORE.
THEN WHERE ARE
THE OTHERS?
OH, THEY'LL BE HERE
SHORTLY.
MAYBE YOU CAN MAKE THIS
MUCH LESS UNPLEASANT
AND SIMPLY TELL ME
WHERE MARTHA IS.
AND I KNOW THERE'S
ANOTHER LITTLE GIRL INVOLVED.
WHAT'S HER NAME?
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
WE'RE GOING
TO FIND OUT, JEAN.
BY THE END OF THE DAY
WE'LL HAVE
YOUR ASSISTANT KIDNAPPER
AND THE GIRL.
AND ONE OTHER THING--
THE LOCATION OF SANCTUARY.
WE'LL HAVE YOUR PEOPLE
IN THE CAMP
BY THE END OF THE WEEK.
GENERATIONS OF WOMEN LIKE ME
HAVE BEEN HUNTED
BY MEN LIKE YOU.
YOU USED TO BURN US
AT THE STAKE.
NOW YOU JUST NEUTRALIZE US.
ALL BECAUSE WE COULD DO THINGS
YOU COULDN'T.
YOU'RE SO AFRAID
OF BEING REPLACED,
LIKE THE NEANDERTHALS.
THE WAY YOU'VE ACTED,
YOU DESERVE TO BE REPLACED.
OH, MANY TIMES I'VE WISHED
WE COULD FIGHT BACK.
BUT THAT ISN'T OUR WAY.
I'LL DIE BEFORE
I'LL TELL YOU ANYTHING.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE, JEAN.
YOU ARE GOING TO DO
A LOT OF TALKING.
KAREN, HOW COME
I CAN DO THINGS?
YOU HAVE
A Z CHROMOSOME.
ONLY A FEW WOMEN
HAVE IT.
MAYBE ONE
IN A MILLION.
IT'S A KEY TO
BEING ABLE TO FOCUS.
WELL, YOU HAVE A Z CHROMOSOME,
TOO, DON'T YOU?
YES.
I'M NOT AS STRONG
AS YOU, THOUGH.
THE OLDER YOU GET
THE WEAKER
YOUR POWERS GET.
SO, HOW DID IT HAPPEN?
WE WERE JUST
BORN WITH IT.
SOME MEN HAVE
AN EXTRA
Y CHROMOSOME.
IT'S NATURE'S WAY OF
TRYING SOMETHING NEW.
MAYBE IN 500 YEARS
WE'LL ALL HAVE Zs.
IF IT MAKES ME
SO DIFFERENT
HOW COME THEY JUST CAN'T
TAKE IT OUT?
WELL, IT'S TOO SMALL
TO EVEN SEE,
MUCH LESS TAKE OUT.
HOW LONG ARE YOU
GOING TO STAY
AT OUR HOUSE?
WE'LL SEE.
THAT'S NOT
A REAL ANSWER.
LET'S GO OVER
THIS WAY.
ALL RIGHT, I SEE YOU.
I'VE GOT THE WOMAN
IN CUSTODY.
TAKE UP POSITIONS
AND STAND BY.
WAIT FOR MY CALL.
( thud )
DAMN IT.
CYANIDE.
FRONT DESK.
COULD YOU TELL ME IF ANY CALLS
WERE MADE FROM THIS ROOM?
UM, ROOM 23.
GOOD... I'LL BE RIGHT OVER.
SO, WHAT WILL YOU BE
WHEN YOU GROW UP?
I'M ALREADY
GROWN UP.
I MEAN WHEN YOU'RE
REALLY OLD, LIKE 30.
UM, I ALWAYS WANTED
TO HELP PEOPLE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO BE?
A MOUNTAIN CLIMBER.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S
MUCH MONEY IN THAT.
YOU JUST WANT
TO BE ALONE.
SO DID I,
BUT YOU CAN'T.
HEY, THIS ISN'T
THE WAY HOME.
I JUST WANT
TO SEE A FRIEND.
IS THAT O. K.?
ALL RIGHT.
IS SHE NICE?
ARE WE ALMOST THERE?
STAY HERE A MINUTE, AGGIE.
JEAN?
OH,
JEAN.
AGGIE, WAIT.
AGGIE, COME BACK.
LET ME EXPLAIN.
MR. AND MRS.
JOSEPH TRAVIS?
YEAH.
SPECIAL AGENT WALSH.
I'M HERE ABOUT
YOUR DAUGHTER.
IS THERE
A PROBLEM?
IS THIS YOUR NANNY?
DOES SHE GO BY
THE NAME OF MARTHA?
WELL, THAT'S HER,
BUT HER NAME'S KAREN.
DID KAREN EVER
GIVE YOUR CHILD A GIFT?
YES. HAS SHE
DONE SOMETHING?
WAS IT A CRYSTAL
ON A NECK CHAIN?
YES, IT WAS.
HOW DID YOU KNOW THAT?
MY AGENCY KNOWS A GREAT DEAL
ABOUT THIS KAREN.
SHE KIDNAPS CHILDREN.
WHAT?
MOMMY.
BABY, WHAT HAPPENED?
HELLO, AGGIE,
MY NAME'S TERRY.
CAN YOU TELL ME
WHERE KAREN IS?
AT THE OTHER PLACE.
WHAT OTHER
PLACE?
THAT'S ENOUGH
QUESTIONS FOR NOW.
AGGIE,
GO UPSTAIRS.
WHO IS HE?
DO AS YOUR
MOTHER SAYS.
I'LL COME GET YOU.
WHO IS HE?
AGGIE!
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
I'M SORRY,
I'LL NEED AGGIE'S HELP.
WHEN SHE'S CALMED DOWN
I'LL GET HER
TO COME DOWN TO THE OFFICE.
SHE'S NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.
YOU DON'T REALIZE
HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.
THERE'S A GROUP OF PEOPLE
WHO ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.
MY SECTION FINDS THEM.
HOW DO YOU MEAN
DANGEROUS?
BECAUSE
THEY'RE DIFFERENT.
THEY PREY ON INNOCENT
LITTLE GIRLS LIKE YOUR DAUGHTER.
THEY CAN'T BE CONTROLLED
OR STOPPED
AND THEY DON'T FOLLOW RULES.
RULES THAT
LET YOU
HUNT GIRLS
LIKE AGGIE?
KAREN.
KAREN, WHAT'S
GOING ON?
THERE'S THESE PEOPLE
IN THE GOVERNMENT
THAT STUDIED WOMEN
LIKE ME, LIKE AGGIE.
THEY GOT AFRAID
OF WHAT THEY FOUND.
THEY CONVINCED THEMSELVES
THAT WE WERE A THREAT.
YOU ARE A THREAT.
YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN?
( Karen )
WHY DO YOU THINK
I CAME BACK HERE?
HE KILLED
MY BEST FRIEND.
I CAME BACK BECAUSE
I CARE ABOUT AGGIE.
SHE'S LYING!
AGGIE HAS
THIS POWER.
IT'S SOMETHING
SHE'S BORN WITH.
SHUT UP!
NO, AGGIE.
AGGIE, DON'T
KILL HIM.
HE HURT YOU.
YOU'LL BE AS BAD
AS THEY ARE.
MY GOD.
HE'S NOT DEAD.
WHERE AM I?
WHO ARE YOU?
I'M AGGIE TRAVIS.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
TERRY... IT'S TERRY.
WHAT AM I
DOING HERE?
AGGIE, WHAT HAVE YOU
DONE TO HIM?
I... ERASED
THE BAD PARTS.
MORE MEN FROM
WALSH'S AGENCY
WILL BE HERE.
WE'VE ONLY BOUGHT
A FEW MOMENTS.
THEN YOU
HAVE TO GO?
I HAVE TO TAKE
AGGIE WITH ME.
YOU CAN'T TAKE HER,
SHE'S OUR LITTLE GIRL.
I WISH I COULD DO
ANYTHING
TO CHANGE THIS.
JOE, YOU SAW
WHAT HAPPENED.
A MAN CAME
INTO OUR HOUSE
TO TAKE
AGGIE AWAY.
WE'LL HIDE HER.
THEY'LL FIND YOU.
DAD, I HAVE TO BE WITH
PEOPLE LIKE ME.
OH, BABY.
I'LL TAKE GOOD CARE
OF HER.
SHE NEEDS TO BE
SAFE, JOE.
YOU'LL ALWAYS BE
DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL.
YOU PROMISE
YOU'LL COME BACK
SOMEDAY SOON.
I LOVE YOU, DADDY.
I LOVE YOU
TOO, HONEY.
THE WARS OF EVOLUTION
ARE FOUGHT OVER GENERATIONS.
BUT SOMETIMES, ONLY
THE FITTEST SURVIVE BATTLES
WHICH LAST
THE BRIEFEST MOMENTS.
100 YEARS FROM NOW,
A NEW RACE MAY LOOK BACK
AND SAY
THIS LITTLE GIRL'S STAND
WAS A TURNING POINT.
