The Philadelphia Experiment Page #5

It's Davey Herdeg.

- No, it's not, it can't be.

- It's me, Pam.

Please help me.

Oh my God, David!

May we come in?

Ah... yes.

I'm Allison.

All of this time he was telling the truth.

All of this time and nobody

would believe him, not even me.

- Who was telling the truth?

- Jimmy.

- Then he came back!

- Yes.

Well, what happened?

Well, nobody would listen to him.

We all believed the Navy,

and they said he had been

affected by the experiment.

And the ship and the other guys?

Burned, some of them, some of them died.

What about me?

What happened to me, Pamela?

You never came back, David.

You just never came back...

'til now.

Jimmy?

He still likes to go out there and work.

I'll be right back.

Davey!

- He's not like he used to be.

- I know.

Jimmy.

Jimmy, it's me, David.

I know you recognize me, Jimmy.

I just want to talk to you about

what... about what happened.

Now, what's the matter, c'mon,

stop this, I want to talk to you.

Now, c'mon, talk to me, stop the horse!

Stop this god damned horse and talk to me, damn it!

- Leave me alone.

- Just tell me what happened!

Get him outta here!

Just get him outta here!

Tell me what happened.

Tell me what happened!

- What's the matter?

- Jimmy?

- Jimmy?

- What's happening? What's going on?

I better go now, I'm afraid he's

going to get sick, please, please go.

Wait! You can't do this!

You've got to help David!

He can't go through this again!

Please, please leave him alone!

- David, are you all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

Why didn't you want to speak with him, Jimmy?

What for?

He just wanted you to tell him some things.

It's better he doesn't know.

Why don't you come sit down?

I can't go through all that again, Pamela.

I just can't.

I know you can't, Jimmy,

I do understand.

He looks just the same, doesn't he?

Yes, he does.

I wish to God it was all over for him.

I'm goin' back.

It won't do any good, he's frightened,

he's a sick man, she told me.

I don't care.

David, they thought he was

crazy, they put him in a hospital,

do you think he wants to

go through that again?

All I want to do is talk to him.

You already know what happened,

you didn't go back, David.

What happened to him

is not gonna happen to you.

Oh shod!

Jesus Christ!

Slow him down!

Look out!

- David!

- Get down! Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!

Keep going!

Get down! Get down!

Hang on!

Look out!

- Hold on!

- David, stop!

David, where are you going?

David, come on!

Damn it!

Please, David, let's get out of here!

Dry Wells.

- David, we gotta get out of here...

- Dry Wells!

This is close to the place that me and

Jimmy first came in in the desert.

Please, David, these are federal documents, let's go.

This is the guy! This is the guy who was in charge

of the experiment we were in, Dr. James Longstreet!

All right, get in the car, this guy

will know exactly what's goin' on.

- David, they're gonna be looking for this car.

- We'll get there some other way.

Easy on his arm there! Easy! Easy!

We're just crossing the Nevada border.

What's goin' on, Allison?

C'mon, what's the matter?

Why can't you just let it go?

I mean... we could go away somewhere,

together, just... just you and me.

Allison, I can't let it go,

I gotta find out!

Is it worth dying for? It's not worth it.

It's not worth killing people for.

THEY were trying to kill US, remember?

Look, if you want to bail-out of

this, ya know, I'll understand.

I don't know what the hell

you're doing here anyway.

No, I don't want to leave you.

I'm just... I'm just frightened.

Oh, jeez, come here.

The canyon's is closed, hold it up right there!

I said turn around! Turn around!

Make arroyo, Jack, walk to arroyo, turn around.

Looks like a road block.

What is it, David? What? Tell me!

- It's happening to me now.

- No.

All right, we gotta get out of here,

- I gotta find Longstreet now.

- Okay, okay.

- The storm's front got everything tied-up.

- What's goin' on?

- The road's blocked 'til the storm's over.

- I've got to be in Salt Lake tomorrow!

- I guess you just gotta find another way to go.

- Damn!

What the hell.

Hey, that's my rig!

That's my god damned rig!

David!

That's my god damned rig!

What the hell...

That's my damn rig!

- They'll get 'em at the next roadblock.

- Damn!

- Must be on your side.

- Yeah.

- You better wait here.

- No, I'm coming with you.

Come in, the door's open.

Drop it over there by the fireplace.

Oh, I thought you were from the Base.

- Dr. Longstreet here?

- No, can you help you?

This is the town! This is place

in the desert I was telling you about.

This is close to where

Jimmy and I first showed up.

I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to leave.

- Where is Longstreet?

- This is a private residence!

We're not leavin' 'til we see him.

Be careful of that, it's loaded!

- Where is he?

- He's on the base.

- Take me to him.

- It's a secured area, they'll never let you in.

We'll see about that!

- All right, get down.

- You're never gonna make it.

Shut up and get down!

Halt! Halt!

Attention all security personnel breach at gate!

- All right, where is he?

- The control room.

Unauthorized vehicle approaching control area.

Get down! Let go! C'mon, let's go!

Get down!

Let's go! C'mon, get out!

- Come on! Let's go!

- We're not gonna god damned make it!

David!

You all right? C'mon, c'mon, move it! Let's go!

There'll be a guard.

- Why don't you just let me talk to him.

- Shut up!

- That's it, sailor.

- I'll blow his head off.

At this point, you'll have to chance that.

- Put the gun down.

- All right, Major.

Don't hurt him.

Let him through.

What the hell have you done, Longstreet?

Replay the probe.

Recognize 'em? Your ship and

our town... trapped together?

- How did it happen?

- We don't know exactly.

But somehow the electromagnetic fields created

in two experiments, one in 1943 and the other now...

cross-connected, they created a vortex, a hole in

the space-time continuum, and you fell through it.

What the hell are you talking about?

In 1943, when the Eldridge

came back, the hole closed behind it.

This time it stayed open... it's like... it's like

a giant vacuum, sucking everything into it.

Now, we can't stop it, but I believe that you can.

- How?

- Don't listen to him, David.

The source of energy explosion in the vortex

is the generators on the Eldridge.

You have to go back

and shut them down, David.

- I'm not doin' anything for you.

- I'm afraid you've no alternative.

You see, in the very real sense,

you've already done it.

You see, when I interviewed the survivors

of the Eldridge, they told me that

you were the one that

shut down the generators.

- But I didn't.

- Not yet.

But we know that eventually you will.

You're still multiply-connected, David.

Your hand.

The molecules still drift. As long as that

hole stays open, you'll continue to deteriorate,

until you return to 1943,

same as your friend, Parker.

He's lying, David, don't listen
