Sliders

You think he saw us? I don't think so.

I do.

Even if they didn't, they have infrared scanners.

Yeah, well, I don't think anyone saw us.

We slide out of here in 45 minutes.

If we lie low, we should be all right till then.

That's a long time to play hide and seek with a Kromagg.

Hustle it up, Remmy.

Come on, move it.

What do you think that place was?

Well, it's gotta be military.

The Maggs don't go in for leisure sport.

Could be a burned-out storage depot.

Yeah, well, I didn't see any other structures.

Well, it could be a proving ground for weapons.

Or it could be a camp where they train the Maggs to hunt humans.

Kind of like that pleasant resort

we stumbled across a couple of worlds back.

I don't think anyone saw us.

Maybe we're overreacting.

It is humanly impossible to overreact to the Kromaggs.

All right, this place looks pretty good.

Maggie and I'll take lookout.

You guys lay low. We're out of here in 40 minutes.

The girl's in Sector 5 Red.

For a breeder to escape.

And with an infant, yet.

Commander, I assure you there's no way this breeder will get away.

My men will pick her up any minute now.

We're picking up other indicators in the same sector.

What could that be? I had that sector patrolled less than an hour ago.

You, go take a unit and find out what's going on there.

Maggie, someone's coming.

Kromaggs?

No.

Looks more like a woman.

She's alone.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. We're friends.

Don't touch him.

It's okay. It's okay.

Mommy's right here.

Go back to sleep.

Who are you?

Where'd you come from?

I'm Quinn Mallory, and where we came from is kind of a long story.

Quinn Mallory?

Yeah, that's right.

Then you're Maggie.

How do you know who we are?

I'm Christina Griffin.

Wade told me all about you guys.

Wade?

Yeah, your friend Wade. Wade Wells.

So you know Wade? Where is she?

I don't know.

We gotta get moving.

They gotta know by now we've escaped.

Escaped from what?

A Kromagg breeder camp.

What if you found a portal to a parallel universe?

What if you could slide into a thousand different worlds

where it's the same year and you're the same person,

but everything else is different?

And what if you can't find your way home?

Sliders.

Where were you going to go?

I don't know. I just had to get out of there.

Once I was outside, I hoped to find someplace.

But you're here now.

It's just like Wade said. You'd find a way to get to us.

Can I go with you guys when you... What is that?

Slide.

Of course you can.

Guys, this is Christina.

She just escaped from the Kromagg breeder camp,

somewhere down there.

This is my brother Colin, and this is Rem... I know.

It's Rembrandt.

She knew Wade.

Knew?

I mean, is she alive? Is she there?

Yeah, she's alive. As far as I know.

Hey, if Wade is back there, we gotta do something.

I don't know if we have enough time.

Look, I don't care, man. We gotta get back there!

It's too late. She's gone.

The Magg shipped all the other prisoners out yesterday

to make way for the new arrivals.

Wade was with them.

I managed to get away in all the confusion.

For what it's worth, Wade doesn't think that you deserted her.

And she doesn't blame you at all for what happened to her.

I'm picking up a slight reading on that hill.

Several indicators.

Several indicators?

Who is out there besides your runaway?

All right, we're gonna go take lookout.

Well, it looks like a perfectly normal baby to me.

Yeah, well, they do for the first year.

I don't know a lot about it. It's some kind of genetic quirk.

The gestation and birth are normal.

The Kromagg genes are repressed.

It'll grow up ugly, trust me.

Wouldn't you know it.

We land in a world crawling with Kromaggs,

no guns, and now we got a baby.

And I was thinking about getting a dog.

You hear something?

It's coming from over there.

All right, guys, stay hidden.

We're gonna go check out what this is.

Oh, there we go.

We're keeping steady, you and me.

We're in this together.

It's okay. He seems to be in pretty good shape.

Yeah, he's a fighter.

How old is he? Almost eight months.

We made our break just in time.

Humagg babies are taken away from their mothers at nine months.

Then at a really young age, they start their training to be soldiers.

We've run into a few of them along the way.

Well, you seem to have survived it.

It wasn't easy.

Hello.

Hello.

You know, at first, I couldn't stand to look at him.

Half of him came from something I hated so much.

But he's so beautiful, and he's smart.

Yeah. After all, what happened to me wasn't his fault.

We're gonna get out of this, little guy.

You just wait and see.

What's his name?

Well, you're going to think this is really strange,

but he doesn't have one.

I haven't been able to think of the right one.

Surviving from day to day in that place,

I had to think of nothing else.

You've got plenty of time.

The right one will come to you.

You can always name him Maggie.

Yeah.

Okay, let's go, huh?

Two Maggs in a Humvee.

I knew it. Infrared scanners.

This is the part where you usually come up with a great idea.

Wait, me? Why do I always have to come up with a good idea?

Hey, guys,

wait.

They're looking for a woman, right?

Maybe we should give them one.

All right, Magg.

Well, that should buy us some time.

I don't know. There's gotta be more goons out there like these.

How long till the slide?

Eighteen minutes.

Where will we go?

We don't know. I'll take point.

There's a little glitch in our gizmo.

Could we go to my home world?

If we knew your home coordinates.

They'd be in the Kromagg Central Data Bank.

Okay, uh, you've got a choice now.

You can either work with us or die.

Question too difficult for you, Magg?

I'll help.

Smart choice.

Can you work it?

If I can get into the system. I'm sure there's a password.

Here, come here.

Log us on.

Unit Four, report.

Unit Four, what's happening out there?

All right, uh, tell him you're enjoying the weather and having a fine day.

Unit Four.

What's going on?

Uh, sorry, sir. False alarm.

No sign of the prisoner.

You said you had a pattern.

Several indicators, you said.

It must have been wildlife.

No sign of a human out here.

Resume the search pattern, and keep me posted.

Base out.

You do very good work.

Now open up your system and bring up the prisoners' files.

No tricks. I read your language.

Go on, Maggot.

What are we looking for?

Bring up anything on prisoners Christina Griffin

and Wade Wells.

I'll need their prisoner serials.

Their what? ID numbers.

We don't keep their human names on file.

I don't know Wade's, but mine's JK1125.

Now cross-reference that with her home world.

What is it?

That's interesting.

So, when do you think that happened?

The file states that our battalions withdrew six months ago.

Withdrew?
