The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 3, Episode 4 - Last Supper - full transcript

Carol and Frank Martin welcome their college age son Danny who brings his girlfriend Jade home for dinner. Frank is stunned to see that Jade is the spitting image of a woman, Laura, that he rescued from a military lab experiment 20 years ago. He assumes she is Laura's daughter but that isn't the case - she's the same woman, who hasn't aged in many years. The scientist who conducted the original experiments, Dr. Lawrence Sinclair, is also looking for her and will go to great lengths to get what he wants from her.

Carol, you switched
it four times,

I just want things to be right,

Yes, well, china patterns are
the hottest topic of
conversation among

college women today,
American floral versus
European traditional,

It's a subliminal thing, Frank,

Isn't this the one
you started with?

Out of the way,

I know you think
that I'm making too big
a deal out of this,

No, I think that Danny
is going out with her,
not you,

He's so excited about this one,

He's 20 years old,



You're trying to
marry him off already,

You're just afraid of
becoming a grandfather,

No, no, I'm just, you know,

kids don't get married
that early these days,-

And I'm not crazy about
being a grandfather,

I still see the young,
handsome, fresh...

Soldier, I once married,

Hello, we're here,

I still see my bride,

Hi, honey,

Hey, If it isn't the MVP,

How you doing, Dad?

Congratulations, Thanks,

Mom, Dad, I want you
to meet Jade,



Jade, these are my folks,

It's so nice to meet you,
I've heard so much,

Please,
make it stop!

Jade, is it?

We've heard so much
about you, Jade,

We look forward to hearing more,

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,

Events in our past seem to
slip further away with time,

but what happens
when they circle back

and meet us head on
in the present?

I'm having a drink,
Anybody else want one?

Something soft will be fine,

İt's in the fridge,
I'll go get it, You guys talk,

Thank you,

Jade, please sit,

So...
You have a beautiful home,

So, Jade, where are you from?

I'm sorry, Mr, Martin?

That's Frank,

Frank, what did you ask?

I was wondering
where you were from,

I'm from all over,

I'm an army brat,

Really?

I'm ex-army myself,

Have you and Danny
known each other long?

Just over a month, actually,
We met after one of his games,

Have you ever been to Virginia?

Virginia?
Yes,

There's several bases there,

I thought maybe your parents
might have been stationed
there at one time,

We might have passed
through once or twice,
Why do you ask?

Yes, why do you ask?

Just curious,

We're from there originally,

Are they giving you
the third degree in here?

They have ways
of making me talk,

Well, take the fifth,
it worked for me,

I think this would have been
some time ago,
Frank,

I'm just curious,

Danny, why don't you take
Jade up and show her around?

Yeah, I got something
to show you, We'll get it,

Why do you care if that
poor girl's from Virginia?

I was just, her accent,

Her accent?

I swear, I don't know what's
gotten into you, Frank,

Middle age,

Senility,

The inner sanctum,

I bet you bring
all the girls up here,

No, you're the first,

You're kidding,

No, I'm serious,

You saw how hard it was
getting past the commandant,

What a great room,

I hope your mother
didn't clean up for me,

Believe me, I didn't do it,

I know that, I spend most
nights at your place,
remember?

Care to make a boyhood dream
come true, little girl?

Now, that would make
a fine impression
on your parents,

No, but we'd be quiet,

No, we wouldn't,
Yes, we would, I promise,

Come on,

I didn't know you
were from Virginia,

Well, um,

actually, my mom and dad
moved here right before
I was born,

Kind of all of
a sudden, I guess,

Why?

Well, my dad did a tour
in Vietnam and then,

a year or two on some army
base he doesn't talk about,

I guess they just wanted to
move away from the memories,

I guess your dad thought you'd
be a star pretty early?

Yeah,

Gosh,

I must have been about

six months in that picture,

You were so cute,

"Were?"

I'd say you're more manly now,

Manly's good,

No!

No!
Â

Stop,

Please stop,

June 20, 1600 hours,

This is Dr, Terence Sinclair,

I'm about to introduce
the second test series

into the subject's
bloodstream to measure
toxicity response,

Sinclair, why don't
we sedate her?
Please don't,

We can't, That would
affect the test results,

Hold her still,

No!

Help,

Do you need
help with that?

What?
Frank?

No, thanks,
I think I can handle it,

We need to talk,

Um, I'm sorry about
all the questions,

I know what you
must be thinking
and remembering,

You're right, Frank,

You're her daughter,

You're Laura's daughter,

What did she tell you about me?

Dad, come take a look,
Hey, Ma, come on!

I want to show you guys
my trophy, It's way cool,

Dr, Sinclair, John Fisk,

I know who you are,
What do you want?

I want to show you something,
I found her,

"Her?"

You mean the woman?

From Building Nine,
Yes, it's the same woman,

Impossible,

She was killed in the explosion,

I was the only one who
made it out of that room,

I can show her to you,

I was watching the news, and
this came on, I couldn't
believe it when I saw it,

Saw what? What is it?

It took me a minute to get
the tape in, but we see
her again, Just wait,

Danny, Danny, how does
it feel being MVP already?

It's great,
but I had a lot of support,

and I have to give credit
to my girlfriend, Jade,

So you're keeping that
trophy in your dorm room?
Hell no,

My girlfriend and I are
driving down to Barrington to
put it on my parents' mantel,

Barrington,

They're just as responsible
for this as I am,

Well, is it her, or is it her?

After all these years, it's her,

We can continue the work,
We were so close to getting
what we...

We?

You can't have her,

Something wrong, Frank?

I ate too much,

You hardly touched your plate,

This is a delicious dinner,
Mrs, Martin,

Thank you, and call me Carol,

Will we get to meet your family?

My mother died a long time ago,

and I never really got a
chance to know my father,

I'm sorry,

That's all right,
It was so long ago,

I barely remember her,

Gosh, if Coach Dickson
knew how much I just ate...

Well, it'll be
our little secret,

Let me help you
with that, Carol,

Can I help?

Yes, You can set up the
pull-out couch for yourself
in the rec room,

Well, Mom, um, Jade and I were
planning on sleeping up in my
room tonight,

Not under my roof,
and I think you know better,

Dad?

You know what
she's like when she
puts her foot down,

Yeah,

You okay?
Yeah,

I'm just working
a little too hard,

You should take it easy,

You're not such
a young guy anymore,

Yeah, I've noticed,
You know what I mean,

All right, guess I'm gonna
go set up the bed upstairs
before Mom grounds me,

I heard that,

You were supposed to,

Going out for a little air,

Don't you go out
there and smoke, Frank,

There will be
an officers' call
at 1400 hours,

Officers' call at 1400 hours,

Please don't smoke out here,
Yes, sir,

Please help me,

Please!

Please, don't hurt me anymore!

I won't hurt you,

Please help me,

I'm looking at a court-martial
just coming in here,

What the hell
is he doing to you?

Please help me
before he comes back,

I don't know
how much I can help,

I think I can walk,

Let me help,

What will they do to you?

Let's just get you out of here,

Put her down!

I can't let you hurt this
girl anymore, Sir,

That was an order,
I'll repeat it, Put her down!

Look, Corporal,
I don't think you know...

I know that you can't
treat a person like this!

She's not a person!
She's not...

I'm a scientist, I know
how this must look,

but the work we are doing
here is very important,

It could mean a great deal
to the rest of us,

Look, Soldier, just put her
back on the table and get out,

Please don't,

It's okay,

We're leaving now,

You can't have her!

Don't!

Don't shoot! No!

No!

You're not still
smoking, are you?

After all these years?

My God,

How much did
your mother tell you?

You haven't told
your family, have you?

If Laura told you everything,

why are you here?
What do you want
from me?

Am I your father?
What?

Is that what this is about?
Is it about money?

I don't want your money,

Well, you can't have my son,

It's not right, he'd be
your half-brother,
Frank,

Don't you understand?

It wasn't my mother that
you saved in the lab,

That was me,

I'm Laura,

You can't be Laura,

The girl I rescued
from Building Nine
was 20 years old,

Frank, it's me,
You must know that,

I changed my name, Why?

Sinclair, he's been,

he's probably still looking
for me, and if he isn't,
the others might be,

No, no, if you were Laura,
you'd be in your 40s by now,

Frank, I'm much,
much older than that,

What are you saying?

I couldn't even begin
to tell you how old I am,
Centuries,

When I was a teenager, the
Black Plague swept through my
village in northern Spain,

Black Plague?
Everyone succumbed to it,
but for some reason,

I survived out of
a village of 200 people,

Since then,
I haven't aged at all,

Then, what are you?

That's what Sinclair's
been trying to find out,

That's what I've been
trying to find out
my whole life,

I know that I'm missing the
gene that triggers the aging
process within the cell,

I know that I'm
immune to disease,

You know what you're
asking me to believe?

No, this is too much,
it's too much,

Frank, I'm a woman,

One very much
in love with your son,

August 11, 2100 hours,

The subject shows
remarkable resiliency

to both extreme heat
and extreme cold,

Tissue regeneration is
at least 700% of normal,

She's the fountain of youth,

Frank,
Danny reminded me of you,

That's what first
attracted me to him,

but now it's gone
beyond that point,

Living as long as I have, I've
been able to see the potential
for greatness in a man,

Daniel's a football star now,
but he's gonna become
something much more,

He's a leader, Frank,
and I'm gonna help him
to become a great one,

I need your blessing,

I don't believe this,

You collect art books,

Those are Carol's,
What does that have
to do with anything?

Do you have anything on
the English Romantic period?

What are you getting at?

Look up "Thomas Gainsborough,"

See if there's a picture
of this portrait of Mrs,
Richard Brinsley Sheridan,

1783, I believe,

What's going on in here?

Just chatting, What's up?

Nothing, Me and Mom were
just watching the late news,

Gonna see what's going on
with the pro draft coming up,
You guys coming?

I wouldn't miss it,

Mrs, Richard Brinsley Sheridan,

Where are we?

We're safe,

I just had to get
you out of the rain,

You're hurt,

No, it's just superficial,

But you don't have
a scratch, it's amazing,

You're gonna get in
trouble for what you did,

I don't even know what happened,

but don't worry,

I'll tell them I was the only
one thrown clear, that you
were killed in the explosion,

There's someone in your life,

My wife,

She'll be worried about you,

I don't want her to get the
call that I'm missing, I, I,

you know, she just
went through that,

I don't want her to have
to go through that again,

I was reported missing
in action in Vietnam,
That's terrible,

Yeah, for both of us,

We got married just
before I shipped out,

Ever since I've been back,
we're different people,

What was Sinclair doing to you?

What was he talking about?

He thinks I'm something
more than I am, Stay away
from them, Frank,

Sinclair, all of them,

I don't think you have
to worry about him,
he's probably dead,

You're freezing,

I'm fine,

That's much better,

You risked your life for me,

I'm just glad you're safe,

I am now,

Frank?

Yeah?

The kids have gone up to bed,
You coming up soon?

Yeah, In a few minutes,

Okay,

Whatever you need, honey,

Thanks,

Good night,

Now do you believe me?

I don't know what to believe,

After the explosion,

we hid in an old warehouse,

We spent the night there,

Do you remember?

I'm not ashamed of
what happened, Frank,
Are you?

I remember that Laura
had a beauty mark,

This,

My God,

It is you,

Dad?

Danny,

Danny, it's not what you think,

Danny, Danny!

You stay away from me,
Danny, just stop and listen!

What are gonna say? You were
up there with my girlfriend,
she's got her clothes off,

No, son, she is not the girl
that you think she is,

What're you saying?
She came on to you?

No, no, that's not what I
mean, but Laura and I...

Well, who the hell's Laura?
That's Jade's real name,

You're out of your mind,

No, no, listen to me,

I knew her, I knew her
20 years ago, I know it
sounds impossible,

but I met her when I came
back from Vietnam...

I don't have to listen to this,

Danny, no!
You get off me,

God,

I deserve it,

How could you do this, Dad?

To me? And to Mom?

To Mom?

Do what to me?

Danny and I were just
having a...
I found him with Jade,

What do you mean
you were with Jade?

She was showing me something,

Yes, you're darn right she was!

- Frank...
- Stop!

Just please stop,

I think you should leave,

I will if you want, I want,

But first, listen to your
father and I, both of you,

If you care about me,
if you've ever cared
about me, hear us out,

and then if you want
me to leave, I will,

Transfusion of the subject's
blood into lab rats

must be limited
to, 5 milliliters
at yearly intervals

for the life-extension
properties to remain viable,

Dosages beyond that are fatal,

Danny reminded me
so much of Frank, I,

I guess I should have
walked the other way,
I wish you had,

Carol,

You expect us to believe this?

You know, if you wanted
to sneak a young piece
of ass in the house,

you could have
found another way,

It's the truth,

I really do love you,

You're pitiful,

The both of you,

Carol?

Carol, please,

Okay,

All right, I'll stay
out here and say it,

I was wrong to keep this
from you for all these years,

Don't you remember what
we went through back then?

Carol, you left me,

I know that's no excuse for
what I did and I tried to tell
you a thousand times, but,

I was afraid that
you'd leave again,

I couldn't survive that,

When I came home from Nam,

we both acted like
I came back from the dead,
and in a way, I did,

I didn't come back
the man you married,

That's not your fault,

That was 20 years ago,

Go home to her,

I don't even know
if she'll be there,

But I thought...

What's important's
changed for me,

'Cause I've seen things that I,

I can't begin to tell her about,

Terrible things,

That's why I couldn't let
them do that to you anymore,

She'll be back,

You don't know that,

Frank,

I do know that,

Because you love her,

I can see it in your eyes,

I don't know how
it happened, but,

we fell in love again,

I fell in love with you,

I love you,

Not you,

So this is where
you disappeared to,

I can't believe she came to you,

What do you want?
What do you think?

Get her down here,

I'll do it,
I think you know that,

It's okay, Frank,

I'm here,

My God,

You haven't changed at all,

Leave these people alone,
and I will come with you,

No, We'll do it here,

I'm not gonna wait anymore,

You did this to me, both of you,

You stole something
very important from me
20 years ago,

and I'm gonna take it back,

You were supposed
to be my life's work,

I could have been the man
responsible for discovering
the fountain of youth,

and instead, I became this,

You still believe she's human?

She hasn't changed, has she?

Not in 20 years,

Not in 100, probably,

You live long enough,
your past catches
up with you,

Frank?
No, Carol, get out of here!

Mrs, Martin, please,

Come in, Sit down,

Frank, who is this man?

The man your husband tried
to destroy 20 years ago,

I won't let you do this,
Yes, you will,

This time he can
have what he wants,

The FBI found Jade in too many
records as too many people,

but then, when they compared
pictures 50 years apart, they
sent her to me,

Do you remember the lab rats
we transfused with your blood?

I still have them,

Just one drop of your blood
20 years ago,
and they're still alive,

They were my constant
reminder of you,

Tie her off,

I knew then, that just
a couple drops of your blood
would add years to my life,

but I was afraid
to take the risk,

and now, you can see,
I've nothing to lose,

If I recall your
service record, you were
a field medic in Vietnam

before you were
transferred to guard my work,

Find a vein,

I won't be a part of this,

It's all right,

Trust me,

Give him what he wants,

This should be enough

to last 1,000 years,

It's working,

I can feel it,

It's working!

I can feel it,

No! Get away!

What are you?

A woman who loves you,

Danny, you have to go to her,

Tell Danny I'm sorry,

You've got nothing
to be sorry for,

Where will you go?

The next life, I guess,

Always liked
the name Margaret,
Do you think it suits me?

Stay till he's
calmed down a little,

Do you know what
the hardest part about
living as long as I have?

I've fallen in love 100 times,

I've helped men become kings,

but I can never stay very long,

It doesn't take them
much time to realize
that I haven't aged,

and when I tell
them my secret...

Daniel's gonna make
you proud, Frank, I know,

The cab will be here any minute,

Take care, Frank,

I guess if you live long
enough, you learn to forgive,

I'd take another chance,

Before we allow ourselves to
be consumed by our regrets,

we should remember
the mistakes we make in life

are not so important as the
lessons we draw from them.
