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, Mmm-hmm,
And I'm not crazy about being a grandfather,
I still see the young, handsome, fresh, ,, (LAUGHS)
Soldier, I once married,
DANNY: Hello, we're here,
I still see my bride,
Hi, honey,
Oh! 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,
WOMAN: Please, make it stop!
Ahhh!
Jade, is it?
We've heard so much about you, Jade,
We look forward to hearing more,
CONTROL VOICE: 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

For the next hour,

You are about to experience the awe and mystery
which reaches from the deepest inner mind
to The Outer Limits,
CONTROL VOICE: 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?
Uh, I'm having a drink, Anybody else want one?
Uh, something soft will be fine,
Oh, it'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,
Uh, we might have passed through once or twice, Why do you ask?
Yes, why do you ask?
Just curious,
We're from there originally, Oh,
DANNY: 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?
Oh, 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, uh, her accent,
Her accent? (SIGHS)
I swear, I don't know what's gotten into you, Frank,
Middle age,
Senility,
Ah, 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, uh,
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, huh?
(LAUGHS) 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,
Oh, manly's good, Mmm-hmm,
(JADE GIGGLING)
(WOMAN CRYING)
Ahhh!
Ohh!
No!

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! (SOBBING)
Help,
JADE: Do you need help with that?
What? Frank?
Uh, 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,
(POLICE SIREN)
(PEOPLE YELLING)
(KNOCKING AT DOOR)
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,
REPORTER: (ON TV) Danny, Danny, how does it feel being MVP already?
DANNY: 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? Oh, 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?
(GASPS)
You can't have her,
CAROL: 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,
Oh, I'm sorry,
That's all right, It was so long ago,
I barely remember her,
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
(SIGHS) Gosh, if Coach Dickson knew how much I just ate, ,,
Well, it'll be our little secret,
Let me help you with that, Carol,
Uh, can I help?
Uh, 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,
Uh, 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,
CAROL: I heard that,
You were supposed to,
Going out for a little air,
CAROL: Don't you go out there and smoke, Frank,
MAN: (ON PA) There will be an officers' call at 1400 hours,
Officers' call at 1400 hours,
(LAURA CRYING)
Please don't smoke out here, Yes, sir,
(LAURA CRYING)
LAURA: Please help me, (SOBBING)
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,
Oh, (SIGHS)
I think I can walk,
Let me help,
What will they do to you?
Let's just get you out of here,
SINCLAIR: Put her down!
I can't let you hurt this girl anymore, Sir,
That was an order, I'll repeat it, Put her down!
(LAURA CRYING)
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,
(WHIMPERS)
You can't have her!
Don't!
Ahhh!
Don't shoot! No! (SCREAMS)
No!
(LAURA SCREAMS)
(GRUNTS)
(SIREN WAILING)
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,
SINCLAIR: (RECORDED) August 11, 2100 hours,

Tissue regeneration is at least 700% of normal,
She's the fountain of youth,
JADE: 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,
(DOOR OPENING)
What's going on in here?
Just chatting, What's up?
Oh, 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,
(SIREN WAILING)
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,
CAROL: 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,
Oh, 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,
Oh, 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,
Oh, 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, ,, JADE: 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,

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,
(DOOR CLOSING)
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,
(SCOFFS) 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,
(SNIFFLING)
I love you,
(GASPS)
(GRUNTS)
(MUFFLED CRIES)
SINCLAIR: 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,
JADE: It's okay, Frank,
I'm here,
SINCLAIR: Oh, 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,
CAROL: 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,
JADE: It's all right,
Trust me,
Give him what he wants,
This should be enough
to last 1,000 years,
(GROANING)
It's working,
(LAUGHING)
I can feel it,
(LAUGHING) It's working!
I can feel it,

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?
Uh, 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,
