Philadelphia Experiment II

Feelings... I don't know.

Everything's... Everything's normal.

Then, out of nowhere, suddenly they're tearing at me.

I don't know if it's the past or the future,

heaven or hell.

Scared?

Yeah... I'm scared.

Something's happening, again,

and I want to know what it is

or who's responsible.

What do you know about the truth?

The truth's all twisted.

Go back to what?

Think about it.

What would it really be like to go back

and to know the future?

Everyone I grew up with, everyone I knew,

they're dead, or in some retirement home.

I go visit them.

The kids I grew up with don't even know who I am.

Why should they?

I don't even know who I am.

These feelings... how long have they been going on?

I don't know.

Three months.

That was when you lost your business.

What's that got to do with anything?

Now the bank wants to foreclose on your house.

I told those guys I just need a little time, that's all.

How's Benjamin?

How is he, David?

He misses his mother.

School?

He's doing fine.

Missed five days last month.

You seem to know all the answers, doctor!

Why bother asking the questions?

All I want to know is what's going on.

You owe me that!

Nothing. Nothing's going on.

These hallucinations coincide

with high-stress incidents...

The death of your wife,

collapse of your business.

A period of remorse, of introspection,

even resentment is inevitable.

You have to come to terms,

to accept what's happened.

You have to move on.

Are you finished?

David.

David!

The Navy wants to know

if you'll consider coming back.

They'll clear the slate,

take care of the mortgage,

settle the bills.

I have to ask.

They have my blood.

Tell them I'll hang on to my soul.

This is 1-1-7 Alpha.

Bearing 2-9-0.

Descending.

0-0-0. Over.

The stealth fighter, gentlemen...

100 million tax dollars a pop.

The American people ponied up for one reason.

It was the future.

It was invincible and invisible.

Enable systems.

Alpha Romeo, this is test control.

Series 4...

Nest to rogue bird. You are clear to cloak.

Decode.

Charlie, Romeo. Commence.

3... 2... 1...

Peaceful, isn't it?

She's up there somewhere between earth and heaven,

and we can't see her, right?

When you approved phase one of this project,

I told you that scientific innovation

was constant competition.

If we build a better mouse,

somebody will build a better trap.

Show them, Hank.

Transponders are on.

Commencing ultrasound emissions... Now.

Overlay... on.

What the hell is that?

It's exactly what you think it is, sir...

Our invisible aircraft.

It's an acoustical tracking system.

We picked it up from a disemployed Soviet physicist.

Sold it to us cheap.

We're failing, gentlemen.

Radar stealth is dead.

The truth is

that if you want to make something invisible,

you have to make it disappear.

Yeah! Way to connect, Benny!

That's a double!

Let's go!

Come on!

Throw it!

Safe!

What?

All right. Nice hustle, Ben.

Save some for the opening game.

Dad!

Sorry, coach. I got to go.

Be on time Saturday, Benny.

Remember, this is opening game this weekend.

Let's go. Next batter.

Come on, Joey! You're up!

Heads up, guys.

Come on. Look alive.

All right. All right.

So Mark says Terminator kills predator,

but I say no way.

Predator's cool, right?

Then Paul goes, "no. Robocop kills them both."

What do you say?

About what?

Dad!

Terminator and predator against robocop.

Who wins?

I don't know... Superman.

Superman? Come on, dad. He's a wimp.

Superman's not a wimp.

That's the man of steel.

Yeah, well, adamantium's harder than steel.

That's why Superman retired.

Ada what?

Adamantium... Hardest metal on earth.

Look, I got some.

Traded my lunch for it.

See? You can't break it.

Don't do that.

Let me see that.

This is what put Superman out of business?

Yep. Think it'll go good on old blue?

Well, we'll give it a shot.

Really? Cool!

It's still another sunny day

in sunny Southern California on 102.2 fm

here in Santa Paula.

It's may 3, 1993,

and the second hand is ticking on

towards 5:03 in the afternoon.

Coming up, we have another uninterrupted hour...

I'm already fast as Tommy.

Maybe faster.

But he's got better stuff.

I get my curve ball going, I know I'll start.

Coach said so.

Don't throw the ball in the house.

Wouldn't that be cool... Me winning the opening game?

I'll help you, later!

When? The game's on Saturday,

and I really want to...

I told you not to do that!

I'm working!

Nothing's broken.

Good. Now, take it outside, all right?

Will you come with me?

Not right now.

But the curve. You always say... Damn it!

Sorry, dad.

The curve.

The curve.

You want to see the curve?

Yeah.

All right. I'll show you the curve.

Remember, it's just a swing of the arm does it, all right?

Elbow high, wrist relaxed, just like that.

You see it?

Kind of.

Get your bat.

Some guys try and force it with the wrist,

but you can't.

Watch the ball.

See the action?

Yeah!

Give me another.

Here we go. Last strike.

Bottom of the ninth.

Bases loaded.

Checks his man on first.

The pitch.

Oh, and he's out of there!

Lucky catch.

There's nothing wrong with a little luck.

Come on, dad. Throw me another.

You go on outside and practice.

I need someone to catch the ball.

Go on. I'll play catch with you after dinner.

O.k.

After dinner.
