The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 5, Episode 5 - The Other Side - full transcript

[E.K.G. machine beeping]

[man screams]

(fireman)
Get back. Get back!

(woman)
Oh, my god!

(man)
I don't know,
it just rolled over.

(medic)
B.P. is 100 over 45
and falling.

Pupils are fixed and dilated.

Let's get a drip on him, stat.

[gasps]

[pants]

[machine continues beeping]



My God.

I'm alive.

Hello. Is anybody there?

God, no!

(Adam)
No!

No reaction.
Let's try upping the Dosage.

His brain is so damaged,
it's hard to tell.

Node number 2, hit him.

Try stimulating
the node structure

deeper in the cortex.

Node number 2.
I'm locked.

[sighs]

(Neal)
I don't get it.

Look at those Spikes.



There should be
some sort of
physical manifestation.

Elevated heart rate,
a little rapid eye movement.

This doesn't make sense.

Maybe it's just bounce
and nothing more.

No, no, no, no,

something's gotta be going
on inside his head.
Has to be.

I just wish to god
I knew what it was.

Help! Oh, god! Help!

Somebody help me!

[screams]

Please. No!

(male narrator)
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.

(narrator)
For all our medical advances,

the human brain

remains vast
and largely uncharted.

What revelations
lie ahead

for those who would explore
this undiscovered country?

And what unknown dangers

will they encounter
on their journey?

I keep goin' back
to the animal trials.

The results
were so definitive.

All of their brains,

no matter how damaged,
attempted to reroute

neurological function
around the damaged area.

You're gonna have
to be patient, Neal.

Human brains are vastly
more complicated.

Human brains
more complicated.

You know, I--I gotta write
that down, Vince.

You're a--
you're a genius.

You know what I mean.

I still say go heavier
on the stimulus.

You could up
the dosage by a 3rd

and still keep it biosafe.

Of Course
were gonna up the dosage,

but that's not the problem.

[exhales]

Maybe we're stimulating
the wrong area.

Yeah, that's it.

what?

I keep putting
off telling you,

but I've decided
to take

that assistant teaching post
at Hopkins.

Now?

When We're this close?

Close?

[chuckles]

Look, I'm gonna be 30
in 2 years.

I've gotta start marking
some territory for myself

or I'm going nowhere.

Meaning here?

Is that where
you think we are?
Nowhere?

That's not what
I'm saying, Neal.
Don't take it personally.

Says the lab rat
abandoning ship.

You know, this might just be
a job to you

but it's
my whole Life's work.

I take it very personally.

You know,
maybe that's the problem.

[woman announcing on P.A.]

[panting]

[grunts]

[panting]

[grunts]

That's game.

And you owe me 50 bucks.

Like hell.
We're playing again.

No, Neal. I'm so tired
of beating you.

50 bucks,
double or Nothing.

Look, I've got
work to do,

you've got work to do.

Is that the sound
of forfeiture I hear? Huh?

Forfeit, my Butt.

What's this really about?

Are we havin'
a bad day

or is this something worse?

What's bad about it.
The sun is shining.

The birds are singing.

And my assistant
just bailed on me.

[pantIng]

I'll give you that point
if you want it.

And to top it off,
I haven't won a game

off you in 2 years.

About the latter,
I can do nothing.

You suck.

[chuckles]

As to the former,

actually, I'm the one
that told Vince

to apply for that job.

You what?

Do you know
what you've done to me?

What I've done to you?

Let me see.

I've remained
your friend

while everyone else ran
screaming from the room.

I've kept funding
your research

when my own board
threatened to fire me

for throwing away money.

I mean, besides that.

I'll find you
a new assistant.

I'm working on it.

But We're gonna need results.

Or is that part
of the problem?

Of course
I'm getting results

I just need more data, Marty.

I told you that
from the getgo.

And I told you
it wouldn't be easy.

Brain-damaged people
don't grow on trees.

You just get 'em
for me, I promise

I'll deliver the results.

Ok, I'll try.

You try Harder.

Hey, where you goin'?

I want my money back.
Come on.

Oh, you're so exhausting.

All right.

Let's go.

[birds cawing]

(Neal)
Janice?

[birds chirping]

Janice.

[laughs]

Neal.

What are you doing
out of your lab?

You get time off
for good behavior?

W-what're you doin here?

I thought
you moved across town.

I moved back.

So when's
the next book comin'?

have you been checking up
on me?

Ever since I've known you,

you've been talkin'
about that.

I just took a guess

well, unless something
really strange happens,

it should be out
in a few weeks.

I hate to admit it
but, uh,

there's quite a bit of you

in the design
of the research.

I'll send you the abstracts
if you like.

Don't bother.

I already read 'em.

Ok, ok, so I've been
checkin' up on you.

They were great, by the way.

No one can touch
what you've done

with cognitive therapies.

My esteemed colleagues,
here at last

is incontrovertible Proof.

Absence makes the heart
grow fonder.

Oh, fond.
Let's not go crazy here.

The truth is

you were the best
research partner
I ever had.

[laughs]

That's what I miss
most about you.

Your romantic side.

As I recall,

you were the one
who suggested

we spend our 1st anniversary
sectioning rat brains.

You didn't find
that romantic?

It worked for me.

So, what now?

Well, I'm weighing
a few offers,

but, I don't know,

nothing that
I'm in love with.

Seeing that you're not busy
at the moment...

what?

...I could really use
your help.

(Neal)
With your permission,

we'd like to hook
your daughter up.

I'm sorry, but, uh,

I still don't understand

how your machine
is going to help our daughter.

There's an extensive body
of evidence

that the brain,
when injured,

seeks to rewire
Itself around

whatever part
that is damaged.

(Janice)
For instance,

if a person suffers
a head injury.

And becomes blind,

they often gain

improved hearing
and other senses.

So while the brain
can't restore

the lost function,

there's a kind
of compensation.

(Neal)
And in your daughter's case

the aneurysm she suffered

destroyed a portion
of her brain tissue
near the thalamus.

I think it is possible
to forge

synaptic pathways
around this damaged area.

Our machine, a neural
intracortex stimulation array,

we call it nisa,

is designed to stimulate
the brain

so it will build
these New neural pathways.

Well, maybe it could somehow
wake her up?

I wish I could tell you
that it would.

To be honest,
you probably won't notice

any change in your daughter.

We're just trying
to determine

whether we can stimulate
this--this rewiring

within Lisa's brain.

And, of course,
the more people
like your daughter

that we can bring
into the program,

the faster
we can find answers.

So really,

you're just poking
and prodding.

We're gonna have
to think about it

(Mr. Dobkins)
you have to understand
something.

To us, Lisa's still alive

she's not just
a pin cushion.

[woman announcing on P.A.]

Mr. And mrs. Dobkins,

can I share
something with you?

When I was 8 years old,

my mother was involved
in an accident.

For the next 5 years
of her life,

until she died,
she lay in a hospital bed

just like
your daughter.

Medical science
had given up on her.

I used to read her
the funny papers.

She was real big
on blondie and dagwood.

But I couldn't help thinking,

every time I sat by her
and looked into her eyes,

that she was inside somewhere,
trying to get out.

We just didn't know
how to do it.

And the fact is,
we still don't.

But if we don't try
to find them,

if we don't do anything
except sit here and watch,

they'll just stay there,

inside their own heads,
forever.

[E.K.G. machIne beeping]

I gotta say, Neal,
I'm impressed.

You actually developed
some people skills.

I think of it more
as desperation,

but, hey, whatever works.

I'm upping the current
30 percent

from previous Levels.

[keys clacking]

(Janice)
Why not go 50?

It's up to you.

No, 50's Good.

Let's move the locus
up just a little higher

starting stimulation.

There it is again,
that spiking.

It's just like Adam's.

I wanna try something.

(Neal)
Keep an eye on the monitors.

Just tell me what you see.

Neal?

Yeah?

Their levels
practically Match.

(Neal)
Practically?
They match exactly.

(woman)
Lisa! Lisa, what's wrong?

[woman screaming]

Hello.

Is--

is anybody there?

(Adam)
Who are you?

I'm Lisa.

How did you get here?

I don't know.

I don't even know
Where here is.

Neither do I.

Be careful,
it's deep right there.

Do you have a name?

Adam.

Where does that door lead?

I don't know, it's locked.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I'm positive.

Oh, my God.

Do you know
what's on the other side?

I--I think I do.

What's happening to me?

What?

Lisa.

(Lisa)
Adam?

Lisa, please.
Don't go, Lisa.

This is absolutely amazing.

Did you see his readings?

They were
practically identical.

[Adam exhales]

Lisa.

What did he say?

I think he said "Lisa."

(Marty)
So this patient,
he said the girl's name?

He didn't say
anything.

The fact that his lips
were moving

is amazing.

It could have been
a random autonomic response.

He suffered
massive head trauma
in a car accident.

It's amazing he ever lived.

Did he look at her?

He hasn't moved.

His pupils
are totally dilated.

For all intents
and purposes,

he's still
a 100 percent vegetative.

And she just came
onto the ward,

so how does he know
her name?

Well, that's
the million-dollar question.

Do you suppose
he could have heard it?

It'd be
a pretty neat trick.

Cognizance in a guy
who is essentially brain dead.

Here's a record of it. Look.

[beeping]

(Marty)
So all this activity here...

(Janice)
That's Adam.

Now compare Lisa's output

to Adam's.

So what does it mean?

I think somehow
We stumbled upon something.

I don't know what it is.

But I've never seen
anything like it.

Most likely it's a pattern
of stimulus and Response.

That doesn't answer
the question of how Adam
knew Lisa's name.

Neal--
he said it,
I heard him.

Listen to me,

there's--there's
something bigger
going on here, ok?

I mean,
their brainwave activity

synched up like--like
they were communicating.

Maybe that's how
he knew her name.

Somehow
she told him.

2 comatose patients
communicating?

Is my skepticism showing?

The whole event
is so anomalous.

It'd be a mistake

to go jumping
to any conclusions.

You see,
that's the other thing.

This whole
particular type

of Brainwave activity
is highly Unusual.

Bottom line is, Marty,
we need to see.

If it's repeatable,
which means

we need more subjects.

More subject equals

more data equals
better results.

What do you want me to do?

Put an ad in the paper?

Boy Genius seeks

BRAIN-damaged individuals
for experiments and fun times.

Sure.
If it'll work, do it.

How do you explain that, huh?

He's disconnected
from Nisa

yet his brainwave activity
still Continues.

His brain is building
new Pathways.

It's working.
Let's hook him up again.

I know more than anyone

what this means
to you, Neal.

Well, then humor me.

You wanna push yourself,
that's one thing.

Don't push them,
it's not fair.

Don't push them,

what're you
talking about?

The way you're going
about this research,

it's more vendetta
than science.

I'm not lookin
for my mother,

if that's what you mean.

She's gone.
I accept that.

Then what are you
looking for, Neal?

Why are you doing this?

Look, take a break.

Let's grab you some dinner.

I'm not hungry.

You may not think they're
communicating, but I do.

I wanna watch them talk again.

You haven't eaten all day.

You really think
the quality of your work

improves the more
you abuse yourself?

God, I hope so.

Ok, ok, 10 minutes,
and I'm yours.

[keys clacking]

[engine whirring]

Adam?

(Adam)
I'm in here.

Lisa, are you there?

(Lisa)
Oh my god!

Isn't it wonderful?

That's the dance Studio
my father Built for me

in our house.

[laughs]

It's exactly the way
I remember it.

He built it for me
when I was 5.

And this!

[laughing]

This is the dance space

at the
metropolitan ballet.

Oh.

[laughs]

I joined the company
when I was 13.

How did you know before that
everything was gonna be here?

I don't know.

You know what I think?

I think you knew
it would be here

because you wanted it
to be here.

You--you created it.

You weren't afraid
of this place

like I was at first.

Are you still afraid?

No.

Actually, I'm kinda
startin' to like it.

This... this I've never seen
before.

I have.

It's my garden,
right down to the crack

in the glass
above the gladiolas.

Bird hit it.

[both laughing]

You wanna go in?

Yeah.

Good thing you weren't hungry.

Is it as hard
as it looks,

being right all the time?

Harder, especially
where you're concerned.

Do you get some kind
of bizarre pleasure

out of driving me crazy?

I don't think
of it as bizarre.

Look, if you have
your doubts

about where the nisa research
is going, I'll understand.

If you wanna--
walk away?

What is this
pathological need

of yours to send me packing?

Send you packing?
What are you talking about?

Why do you think
I left before?

Why do you think
our relationship ended?

'cause, I assume,
you were unhappy.

Interesting.

So you do live in a vacuum.

How's the weather
in there?

I didn't want you to go.

And you didn't want me
to stay, either.

Or is my memory
a little faulty?

Look, I don't know why
we're talking about this.

Listen, I'm happy to be
working together again,

but you--
but what?

Don't contradict you?

Don't--don't tell you

when I think
that you're wrong?

Look, you've got 2 Books
under your belt, ok?

You get teaching offers
from places

that won't even return
my phone calls.

And though
Marty is my friend,

he's so results-oriented
it's driving me crazy, ok?

So I apologize

if my career Angst
is cranked up to 11.

You wanna help
your career?

Then stop chasing conclusions

that your results
don't support.

And stop alienating people
that are trying to help you.

You're beautiful when you're
infuriating, you know that?

[beeping]

They gotta be in there.

They gotta be in
there somewhere.

I remember thinking
I was gonna die.

The ambulance ride.

The emergency room.

The faces.

I could hear the paramedics
workin on me,

tryin to get
my heart started,

they were saying,
"He's not gonna make it."

and then everything
kind of goes fuzzy from there.

I remember being scared,

feeling helpless.

And the sound of dripping.

All I remember is a headache.

It started in the morning,

and by the time
I got to rehearsal,

I almost
couldn't see straight.

One of the first things
you learn as a dancer

is how to work
through pain.

What were you rehearsin'?

Giselle.

I'm sorry,

I, uh, I don't know much
about ballet.

[laughs]

It's about a beautiful girl
who dies,

and comes back as a ghost.

It's good casting so far.

I bet you were great.

It would've been my debut

[audience cheering]

after all those years
in corps de ballet,

there I was,

3 days before the opening.

Rehearsal was going well.

I had just done
a grace haut de chat.

I was heading offstage,
and then,

Nothing.

So, you never got to do it?

Well, you can dance it
for me right now.

I'd really love it
if you did.

[telephone dialing]

[telephone ringing]

(Janice)
Yeah?

Hi Jan, it's me.
I'm sorry to call so late.

Can I ask you a hypothetical?

Ask me a what?
What time is it?

How much fentenol
would be toxic?

Fentenol?

Not a whole lot.

5 C.C.S could knock you
for a pretty good loop.

Why are you
asking me this?

How much would slow

a person's
brain function down

to say minimal levels?

Have you lost your mind?

You could say
I'm trying to find it.

So 10 C.C.S will do
the trick, right?

Neal, you could end up
killing Yourself.

Neal, no!

Neal? Neal?

Neal, talk to me.

Neal? Neal?

Neal!

Lisa, you know who he is?

I--I don't think so.

Do you?

Who are you?

[Neal screams]

[E.K.G. machine beeping]

(Janice)
Neal?

Neal, talk to me.

[gasps]

What did you do?
Me?

What did I do?

Janice, I saw them.

Adam and Lisa.
I saw them together.

Just take it easy.
I'm calling e.M.S.

No, I'm fine.
I'm fine.

You just took your body

to the edge of
never never land.

Fine is
the last thing you are.

I'm telling you,
I saw them together.

They were in a garden
and they were kissing.

[keys clacking]

Hi, can you get me
the emergency room please?

Just look at these 3 readouts
before you do that.

Tell me what you see.

(Neal)
There's Lisa,

there's Adam,
and there's me.

They match exactly.

All it means
is that your brain

experienced the same
stimulus response effect
as theirs.

Jan, I am telling you
the truth!

These 2 people are cognizant.

They're alive somewhere,

in some--
some other dimension,

I don't know
where this place is

but it exists

and somehow
it's nisa That's doin' it.

[sighs]

(Marty)
Well, that's interesting.

And then yesterday
we discovered that

Adam and Lisa maintain
the exact same levels,

the exact same wave patterns,

even when disconnected
from Nisa.

Wherever that place is,
they're there

and they're stayin' there.

I gotta tell you people,

I'm not real comfortable

with Where this is going.

I'll be honest, Marty,

I'm a little uncertain Myself.

Emperically I see
brain function
where it didn't used to be.

Now I'm not saying
that it couldn't be

some form
of higher consciousness--

I'm talking
about his behavior.

I know I took a big risk

but I promise you
the results will be worth it.

You're missing the point.

The results
are worth nothing

if we all lose our jobs
while you get them.

Do you hear me?

Yeah, I hear you.

I've kept my part
of the bargain.

I've found you more subjects.

Now I'll expect you
to keep up your end.

Marty, listen to me--

(Marty)
No, no, you listen to me

the Wolf is at the door.

Now I think I can massage
this little irregularity

and keep the board
from turning nasty.

But they're gonna want
satisfaction, A.S.A.P.

Or I'm gonna have
to cut Bait.

Am I clear?

I'm sorry, Jan,
I can't go backwards.

He doesn't want
you to go backwards, Neal.

He wants you
to give him results.

[E.K.G. machine beeping]

Start up
computer Protocol.

(Janice)
Starting protocol.

Start at 45 Percent.

Starting at 45.

Achieving Stimulation.

(man)
Gimme your wallet.

[panting]

Where--where am I?

You're not where you were,
if that's any help.

The brain waves
are in Sync.

Do you have any idea
how you got here?

I'll say this much.

It is the damnedest thing.

I haven't walked in 20 years.

I don't see how it's possible.

Warner, in this place,
anything is possible.

Come on, I'll show
you my greenhouse.

I can see it
just fine from here,
thank you.

What do you love
most about life?

Uh, working in my restaurant,
I guess.

What's that got
to do with anything?

Haven't you ever wished
you could move around
it a little easier?

Come on.

Oh.

Come on.

[laughs]

Atta boy.

[grunts]

There you go.

Oh, my god!

[all laughing]

What about him?

Doesn't he want
to join the party?

(Janice)
Let's up the amperage
just a little bit More.

[beeping]

Look at that.

Can you believe it?

They're even better
than New.

[thunder rumbling]

What the hell is that?

Looks like we got
more company.

Just because you perceived
these people

doesn't mean
that they were actually there.

Are dreams real?

Your perceptions
could have been

completely drug induced.

Ok. How do you explain
the brainwave activity?

How do you explain
the fact

that the 3 of us
were synching up like that?

Where is this taking place?

How can 3 people share
a common psychological state?

There's a swedish study.

It cited 2, 3, 4 people
at a time

sharing
telepathic communication

with virtually
the identical E.E.G. Readings.

Readings that
look a lot like
the ones We're getting.

Maybe nisa is stimulating

the same part of the brain.

Look,

you've already shown

that more of
the brain survived

than we thought,
and that's worth Knowing.

Why not stop there?

Whip these results

into publishable shape
and move on.

Because our real findings
are way bigger.

What nisa has revealed
about these people

are that they are alive.

They are alive.

Nothing in the hard data

suggests
Anything like that.

Neal, who these patients are,

their personalities,
that's all gone.

If you met them,
you wouldn't say that.

Met them?

Neal, will you listen
to yourself?

Neal, what are you thinking?

I've been back and forth
between here and there.

I existed there physically.

They saw me.
I can be their guide.

I'm not gonna
let you do this.

Lisa's parents asked
if I could bring her back.

Forget it.

Jan, it's imperative
that I try.

What have I got to lose?

Nothing,
except for maybe your life.

[grunting]

Roger,
what's your problem, man?

My problem?
What's your problem?

Uh, you.
I mean your negativity.

It's killin' my plants.

And look what it did
to my souffle.

This was gonna be lunch.

Your cooking stinks.

Roger, this is serious.

We have to talk about it.

Get outta my way.

What're you gonna
do tough guy,
you gonna knock her out?

Y'all act like
you wanna be here.

Well, not me. I have a life.

A good life.

And I'd much rather be there

than in
this ridiculous place.

Hell, what am I talkin'
to you for?

You're all figments
of my imagination.

Why can't you
just accept

what's happened to you?

Roger, answer her.

You wanna piece of me, punk?

I'm down with it.

I can get you
to a comatose state

With 5 C.C.S.

8 Worked last time.

And there's still
enough fentenol

in your system
from then

if you consider
the residual effect

of the last 2 doses.

I gotta be sure I get there.

All right.

In 7 minutes

I want you
to amp up 10 percent.

I'm giving you
5 C.C.S

and that's the end of it

argue with me
and I'll give you 50.

You want,
fine, I'll give,

but I want
a little quid pro quo here.

If this doesn't work
and you wake up,

you gotta promise me
to walk away.

That's askin' a lot.

There's no point
in bringing you back

if you lose yourself.

Promise.

[sighs]

Come back.

Thanks.

[panting]

It's him again.

I wonder who he is.

You all right?

Oh, I-I'm fine. I'm Neal.

I'm--I'm the one
that got you here.

Got us where?

Where exactly
is this place?

I'm--I'm not sure exactly.

Physically
you're in a hospital.

In--in a research ward.

You all have

varying degrees
of severe brain Injury.

Great. Another lunatic.

You're all part
of an experiment

I'm conducting.

I--I--I know it sounds absurd,

but I've come

to help move you
across the divide

that separates
our world from this one.

I've come to take
you all home.

Home as in home?

(Lisa)
We could see
our parents again?

I can see my wife.

Will I still
be able to walk?

I don't know.

What about the feelings
We've had here.

I mean, will we be able
to take them with us?

I wish I could tell you
for sure.

Physically I don't know

what's gonna
happen to you.

Some of you have
been comatose
for quite a while,

but... but the fact
that you're here,

the fact that you--

the fact that we all created
this place means

our brains accomplished
something truly miraculous.

Miraculous would be waking up
from this place.

Well, that's what I'm gonna
try to help make happen.

[thunder rumbling]

We'd have to go back
through the tunnel.

I don't know
if I wanna leave.

It'll be ok, Adam.

We'll help each other.

Just think
how much better

our lives
will be back there

for having experienced
this place,

and everything
and everyone in it.

All right.

Good.

Now I'm not gonna
lie to you.

This could be dangerous.

But the tunnel
is how you got in here.

Neurally and physically,

and I'm--I'm willing to bet

if I can get you
through the door

at the end of that hallway,
1 at a time,

I can get you back

to a state
of waking consciousness.

I'll take my chances.

10 seconds there.

Beats another minute
here, hands down.

All right, Roger.
You first.

[grunts]

Hold tight!

[grunting]

Roger!

Something's wrong!

Just a couple more steps.

[Roger groans]

[keys clacking]

No!

[groans]

Something's really,
really wrong.

Roger, no!

I'm not gonna make it.

Leave me.

Like hell!

[gasps]

Are you ok?

Roger!

[gasps]

He made it!

[E.K.G. machIne beeping]

[groans]

[machine continues beeping]

I've got a code blue
in ward 3.

2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

Damn it!

10, 1, 2, 3, 4.

15!

Marty, I brought the man
out of a vegetative state.

Are you telling me
that counts for nothing?

You killed him in the process.

Read the damn autopsy Report.

He had a congenital
heart defect.

A defect exacerbated
by the physical stress

of whatever
the hell it is you did to him.

Bottom line is
I got him here,

I got him back.

The only bottom line
that matters to me

is that Roger's family

is holding you responsible
for what happened.

And me, and
my research program.

And this whole
friggin' hospital!

Roger's family
signed the papers.

They understood
there might be risks.

You are the last person
I wanna hear from.

You were supposed
to keep him in line.

I wasn't there
to baby-sit him.

I was there to assist him,
there's a difference, Marty.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
"keep him in line"?

w-What the hell
is goin on here?

You wanted an assistant.

I got you 1.

You don't think
it was a coincidence

that you bumped
into each other?

Tell me
he's makin this up, Jan.

Neal,
it's not what you think.

I was asked to talk to you

and if I felt
there was any way

I could genuinely help you--

and conveniently there was.

Any other dirty
little secrets?

Only 1.

Your privileges
at this institution

have been
permanently suspended.

Marty, are you crazy?

I've gotta go back in!

The rest
of those people

are trying to get out
and I gotta to help 'em!

You got near
those people

and I will see that
your license is revoked.

If you'd just listen
to me, Neal,
I'll explain everything.

Why don't you start
with the part

where you were spying on me
for that son of a bitch?

If I'd been spying on you,
do you think any of this
would've happened?

He would've shut
you down weeks ago.

I guess
you're not much
of a spy then, huh?

When Marty first called,
I turned him down flat.

I thought it was
a reprehensible idea.

But then I started
to think about it.

And the more
I thought about it,

the more I wanted to work
with you again,

in spite of Everything.

Work, hell!

I wanted to be with you again.

Because something in me
really hates the fact

that I gave up on us.

That I let you Goad me
into walking away.

That's real Sweet.

Too bad
the feelings aren't mutual.

What would you know
about feelings?

Maybe That's what
you should go looking For.

Neal?

Neal, stop!

What have you done?

I've got to go back inside
and get them.

You go in again,
I can't guarantee

you'll ever come back.

That's why you said
those things, isn't it?

I'm sorry.
When I come back,

you can yell at me then.

You're damn right
I'm gonna yell at you.

Did you really think

you could get away
that easily?

I love you.

I always have,
if you wanna know the truth.

I love you, too,
you son of a bitch.

(Adam)
What're you doing here?

We thought
you weren't coming back.

I told you I'd come back.

(Adam)
What happened?
Where'd you go?

There's no time!

I'll get you out of here.

Grab onto me.

I've got you!

God, I hope so!

Adam, do it!

Grab onto Lisa!

[screams]

Hold tight!

(Lisa)
Neal, are you all right?

I'm fine.

[screams]

I'm fine.

Go!

(Adam)
You're not gonna make it,
are you?

I don't know.
Don't worry about me.

I'll see you
on the other side.

Ok.

It's been 12 hours
and he's still comatose.

He's not gonna make it

[woman announcing on P.A.]

He should've been here
to see this.

(Warner)
He did it.

He brought us back

just like he said he would.

I don't understand.

If they all made it back,
why didn't Neal?

He went too far.

Maybe he'll find
another way out.

Or whatever else
he's looking for.

This place is so cool.

It's just filled
with possibilities.

I'll bet there's another way
out of here.

(narrator)
Our greatest achievements

do more than heal the sick

and give strength
to the weak.

They also lead us
from the darkness

to a place of hope and light.
