ACT THREE

FADE IN:

32 EXT. AN ALLEY - DAY 32

As our heroes are recovering from their aborted slide.
Diana pulls out the PDL and runs some numbers.

MAGGIE
What the hell happened?

DIANA
I'm not sure yet.

MALLORY
Please don't tell me we're stranded
here for twenty-nine years.

REMBRANDT
You were wondering why they didn't
come after us. Maybe they didn't
need to.

MALLORY
You're saying someone purposely
stopped us from leaving.

REMBRANDT
Think about it. Thousand dollar a
plate meals, personal appearances.
A lot of cash stands to be made if we
stick around.

MAGGIE
Assuming they can stop the slide, do
you think someone would actually
stoop that low just to make money off
us?

REMBRANDT
You've obviously never had an agent.

DIANA
     (still reading PDL)
It seems that there was some kind of
force field blocking the wormhole
entrance.

MALLORY
Somebody capped it?

CONTINUED

#E0818 - 1st Yellow Revs. - "The Seer" 3/19/99 30.

32 CONTINUED 32

DIANA
Basically, yes. But what makes this
really strange is that the timer is
ticking down again, from three days
this time. Whatever blocked us
somehow reset the cycle.

MAGGIE
Meaning we may have another shot.

DIANA
Maybe, unless we run into that force
field again.

REMBRANDT
I think I know who's responsible.
Time to have some blunt conversation
with him.

As they move off we...

CUT TO:

33 INT. THE SEER'S HOME - STUDY - DAY 33

The Seer is standing before his easel. In sort of a
trancelike daze, he's putting the finishing touches on his
latest painting. It is, of course, of the Sliders.

A COMMOTION is heard from the hall.

REMBRANDT'S VOICE
I don't care what he's doing. We
need to see him. Now!

The Seer looks over to see the Sliders enter, preceded by a
harried looking maid.

THE SEER
     (to the maid)
It's all right, Martha, I'm finished.
     (to Sliders)
There you are, my friends. I must
admit, you left me with a
considerable amount of egg on my face
today. Why did you leave us?

MALLORY
We suddenly remembered we left the
iron plugged in.

CONTINUED

#E0818 --1st Green Revs. - "The Seer" 3/19/99 31.

33 CONTINUED 33

The Seer just lets out a chuckle.

THE SEER
Just the kind of brash spirit that
has inspired us so.
     (refers to painting)
Do you like it? It's the vision I
had of your arrival here.

REMBRANDT
Yeah, lovely. Now conjure up a
vision of us leaving.

The Seer doesn't seem to have heard Remmy. He's rapt by the
painting.

THE SEER
It's something new. You see, before
you arrived I never could have a
vision in this dimension. I must
have some kind of direct psychic
connection with you.

MALLORY
Well, you have to break it.

DIANA
Turn off your force field so we can
slide out of here.

THE SEER
But Claire told me you were going to
stay.

MAGGIE
We never told her that.

DIANA
The only thing keeping us here is
that force field you put over the
wormhole.

THE SEER
I know nothing of any force field, I
assure you.

MAGGIE
You're not going to deny that you
benefit by us staying here? That
your crazy cult fizzles if we die.

CONTINUED

#E0818 - 1st Green Revs. - "The Seer" 3/19/99 32.

33 CONTINUED 2 33

THE SEER
Of course I'm not going to deny it.
But I have made enough money. At
least more than I need for what
little time I have left.

DIANA
You're dying?

THE SEER
My heart. The doctors say it could
happen any time. Unfortunately, the
movement may not outlive me. It is
deeply in debt.
I had hoped, with your help, to
revitalize it by creating phase two
of our movement, Slidology.

REMBRANDT
We're not convinced that we're stuck
here. The timer has re-set. If
anything we've just had a three-day
setback.

MALLORY
And we want your word that you won't
interfere.

THE SEER
What can I do? But please
reconsider. My vision of your future
was quite clear.

As they start out.

REMBRANDT
We've already made our choice. And
if you know us as well as you say,
you know there's no changing it.

The Seer sits down heavily, deeply troubled by what he knows.

34 OMITTED 34

34A EXT. ALLEY 34A

The Sliders are sneaking back to the hotel.

#E0818 - 1st Green Revs. - "The Seer" 3/19/99 32A.

34A CONTINUED 34A

MALLORY
So Claire lied to the Seer about us.
That makes her our prime suspect if
you ask me.

CONTINUED

#E0818 - 1st Yellow Revs. - "The Seer" 3/19/99 33.

34 CONTINUED 34

Maggie's patience is thinning. She's ready to kick some butt.

MAGGIE
That would also make her our next
stop.

Diana is still puzzling over the timer.

DIANA
A little over three days. Enough
time to concoct that virus. This
whole force field fiasco may have
been a blessing in disguise.

REMBRANDT
If we can get our hands on the
ingredients.

Rembrandt gets an idea. He takes the Four S card from his
pocket.

REMBRANDT
I think I know just the person who
might help.
     (to Diana and Mallory)
You two find Claire. If she's behind
this maybe you can talk some sense
into her. We'll catch up with you in
a couple of hours.

Rembrandt and Maggie split off from the group and are gone.

MALLORY
Where are you going?

REMBRANDT
Back to school.

35 OMITTED 35

35A EXT. FOUR S CLUB - DAY 35A

To establish. A basement level entrance located somewhere on
Brownstone Street.

A sign fastened to a railing reads: EL SEGUNDO UNIVERSITY 4S
CLUB.

#E0818 - 2nd Pink Revs. - "The Seer" 3/24/99 34.

36 INT. FOUR S CLUB - DAY 36

As we pan across the contents of a typical college dorm room.

VERNON (O.S.)
What branch of the service did Maggie
serve in?

LISA (O.S.)
That's easy, Marines. She was a
captain and her middle name is
Allison.

VERNON (O.S.)
Just give me the answer, not her
total life story.

We hear the sound of RATTLING DICE.

VERNON (O.S.)
     (continuing)
Three.

And we finally see...

Vernon and two other College Students, LISA and NUBSY are
seated around a table playing a board game. Two other N.D.
college students look on. From the top of the box on a nearby
chair we can see it is THE SLIDERS GAME. Vernon is
mercilessly pounding his game piece into the board as it makes
the rounds.

VERNON
One, two, three.

LISA
     (picks up card and
      reads it)
What was the name of Rembrandt's best
friend and former member of the
Spinning Tops?

Vernon is clearly stumped.

REMBRANDT (O.S.)
I think I know the answer to that.

The Students turn and all jaws drop when they see...

Rembrandt and Maggie standing in the doorway.

VERNON
Wow.. you came!

MAGGIE
     (seductively)
Yeah, let's get to know each other
first. Make it worth the wait.

#E0818 - 2nd White Revs. - "The Seer" 3/22/99 35.

36 CONTINUED 2 36

These sex starved male students suddenly seem a bit squirmy,
as if... well... just use your imagination. Maggie has them
in the palm of her hand. Lisa has no choice but to go along.

37 INT. THE SEER'S HOME - STUDY - DAY 37

The Seer is still sitting in the chair in his study where we
left him. We PUSH IN close on his face. His eyes are
fluttering. He seems to be in a trance. As the camera moves
closer we begin to hear the voices he is hearing.

REMBRANDT'S VOICE
There must be a way to recreate the
virus. Don't you have Internet
contacts or something?

And now we begin to see what the Seer is seeing in his mind.
It's the scene at the Four S Club: Rembrandt, Maggie, Vernon,
Nubsy and Lisa. Only now we see them from...

38 A HIGH ANGLE DOWN 38

on the room in the Four S Club. The picture is a bit hazy as
if we're looking through some kind of liquid. And their
voices are tinny, filtered.

LISA
That only works if you want to build
an atomic bomb.

VERNON
Why do you want the virus? You're
not going to try to leave are you?

A beat. Should they tell the truth? Then..

REMBRANDT
Yes. We have to, Vernon.

CUT TO:

39 INT. SEER'S HOUSE 39

suddenly the Seer's eyes pop open. He's very troubled by what
he's seen.

CUT TO:

#E0818 - 2nd White Revs. - "The Seer" 3/22/99 36.

40 INT. FOUR S CLUB ROOM 40

Back to normal coverage as the scene continues.

MAGGIE
We have to have that virus before we
slide.

VERNON
     (to Lisa, gleefully)
Ah ha, pay up! I told you they'd
try. The sliders never give up.

LISA
Lucky guess. But what good is
getting away if they don't have the
virus?

VERNON
Are you high, Lisa? There is a way.
     (to the others)
Think, Space Journey...
     (to Remmy and Maggie)
That's my second favorite show...
     (back to Lisa)
Episode twelve, The White Menace.

Suddenly all the Students make the connection, AD LIBBING a
few AH HA's, I GET ITs and so forth. Nubsy rushes out of the
room while Vernon starts to roll up his sleeve.

VERNON
In 'The White Menace' the killer
plague was put down by a counter
alien plague extracted from the blood
of a race known as The Zangs.

Nubsy returns to the room with a wood box. He places it on
the table and opens it. It's full of syringes and needles.
Our guys look on, puzzled.

VERNON
Lucky thing for us Nubsy here is a
diabetic.

MAGGIE
Lucky thing.

Vernon preps a needle, plunges it into his arm and extracts a
vial of blood.

REMBRANDT
Whoa, whoa, what are you doing?

CONTINUED

#E0818 - 2nd White Revs. - "The Seer" 3/22/99 37.

40 CONTINUED 40

VERNON
It's okay. I give Nubsy his shots
all the time. I practice on myself.

REMBRANDT
Lucky thing.

Vernon completes the procedure, removes the needle from the
syringe, caps it, and hands the vial to Rembrandt who is still
quite stupefied.

VERNON
You don't need to recreate the virus.
We all carry it in our bloodstream.
It's only harmful to Kromaggs.

Rembrandt begins to make the connection.

REMBRANDT
You mean the virus is in here? We
can make more from this?

VERNON
Absotively. Providing you get it to
a lab in two days to synthesize it.

REMBRANDT
Thanks, man.

Maggie plants a kiss on Vernon's cheek. He blushes.

MAGGIE
You guys are okay.

Rembrandt and Maggie head for the door. Then Rembrandt turns.

REMBRANDT
And by the way, his name was Maurice
Fish.

And our heroes are gone.

VERNON
     (slaps his head)
And I knew that!

41 INT. CHANDLER SUITE - LIVING ROOM - DAY 41

Mallory and Diana enter, looking frazzled. She sets the timer
and PDL on a table.

41 CONTINUED 41

MALLORY
Well, that was a waste of time
looking for Claire.

DIANA
I'm going to check on Mrs. Mallory.

MALLORY
Uh... I'll do it.
     (fumbling for an
      excuse)
Shouldn't you be doing something with
the timer?

Diana can see right through him. He's taken on a new attitude
toward Mrs. Mallory. For the better.

DIANA
You're right. I'll get to it.

Mallory crosses to the bedroom.

42 INT. CHANDLER BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS 42

Mallory enters and sees...

The two Attendants, dressed in Sliders T-shirts. Attendant #1
is holding Mrs. Mallory, his hand cupped over her mouth.
Attendant #2 is charging straight at Mallory. He tackles him,
sending the two flying into the...

43 LIVING ROOM 43

Diana looks up, surprised to see the two duking it out. They
struggle to their feet. Then Mallory lays him out with a
haymaker.

Attendant #2 comes bolting into the room. He grabs the timer
and makes for the door. Diana intercepts him and tries to
grab for the timer. But he's bigger and stronger and he
easily swats her aside.

Mallory tackles him from behind. The timer goes flying. It
hits the floor. Attendant #2 struggles to get away. He kicks
Mallory in the face, stunning him long enough to make his
exit.

Mallory staggers to his feet. Attendant #1 is standing a few
feet behind them. The timer is between them. It's a
standoff. Attendant #1 picks up a floor lamp. At first

Mallory thinks he's the target. The attendant suddenly
smashes the heavy base down onto the timer, smashing it.

Mallory and Diana are so stunned by this that Attendant #1
sprints right past them and out the door.

Diana reaches for the timer. She holds up a handful of broken
plastic, smashed LED's and twisted wires.

The Timer has been completely pulverized.

Off their horrified reactions we...
