PROLOG

So

So

Where is he?

Where is he?

Speak

And what?

What you’re doing here

I've been traveling for some time

and wanted to ask if I may warm me up for a while

and get a sip of coffee

I'll be on my way again

Coffee?

Who the hell are you?

My name is Jack Nekoti

Never heard of you

I am a hunter

I am from around here and I see you for the first time

Not many people here know me

I spend a lot of time in the woods

And you? Do you have a name?

I am asking the questions here

Sorry, I just wanted to know who I'm talking to

Or shall I guess your name?

Well, if you manage that, you can have a cup

That’s hard

But I’ll try

You’re out here all alone here without a horse

And you seem a bit agitated

I see two bags very well filled

If I’m not mistaken, the mail coach company uses similar ones

I’m sure it could be five thousand or more

We are far up in the north

Hm

There are not many brave people strong and passionate

to rob a well protected mail coach in this area

But

could you be the infamous

P P P

Pete

Pete

Pete Parker?

Damn it, it’s John Parker

Pete is my little brother

Ah

Johny Boy, the other one

It is John Parker

Not Johny Boy

I'm sorry, I didn’t know that you did not care for the name

That’s my nickname

And how did you get it?

I got that from a sheriff I killed

That sheriff wanted to tell me and my boys what to do

There was a firearms ban in that city

Of course we did not obey

One day in the saloon,

he came up to us

just like that and just punched my little brother

And if you're anyone but our goddamned mother who hits Pete

then you’re done

I shot off both his kneecaps

He went down,

I finished my drink

and walked to the door

Suddenly this bastard pulled out his revolver

What was I supposed to do?

Either him

or me

So I shot his balls off

It was really enjoyable

seeing him lying there in his own blood

without knees

and without balls

H-E-L-P

H-E-L-P

But because I am a good guy,

I put him out of his misery

The name you’ve mentioned before always reminds me of this story

and I do not care to think about it

So never call me

Johny Boy

I think I've heard this story before

Could I have a coffee now?

For a Nobody from the north you've heard a lot

People talk a lot

What do you hunt?

Wild animals

What kind of animal is this?

A deer,

still a cub

Take a good look at it

Ah

Well,

how does that feel?

Hm?

You're this damned Jack,

the insane bounty hunter

Yes, I'm this damned Jack And unlike you, I like my nickname

Go ahead, do it My brother will kill you

Oh, my brother will kill me for this, my brother will kill me for this

Fuck it

You know what? I’ll tell you a story And you will listen carefully to it

Do you know that I met little Pete today?

Ah

You dirty bastard, what did you do to him?

That was right after your attack on the mail coach

As you two split up I followed him

And do you know what I did then?

He begged me, he really, really begged me

but do you know what I did then?

I shot off his kneecaps

Yes

Just the same way you did to my brother Tom

You know

The sheriff from your little story

That was your brother?

Yes

Tom and me were brothers

I swore back then that I would hunt you down

I was searching for you but I couldn’t find you

I was afraid I would never find you again

But the attack on the mail coach helped me

I was planning on laying out your bled out brother in front of you

Just so that you suffer

Just so that you suffer like I did

You know what?

Fuck it

Ah

You know what?

Time heals all wounds

CHAPTER ONE - DENIAL

Pete, do you remember

that cold winter when the snow locked us in

our cabin and we were trapped in

a huge, icy, white world?

It was so endless

You were tiny, but you were already great at getting up to mischief

Mother was barely keeping up

You almost got stuck in the chimney

“Freedom, I want to go out into the snow”

You always had to be looked after

What would you have done out there

Tell me

You don’t answer

Your ticking has stopped

I have to admit,

that when I received the message from my great-grandfather,

I was not expecting someone like you

Surprise is science’s best friend, isn't it?

I would say that it is curiosity

Yes, definitely curiosity

That's also the reason I invited you

And I thought the reason was gathering the whole family together

Where are the wonderful values of our good old days?

I just wanted to tell you personally

What you are trying to do here

isn't possible

And if anyone knows, it's me

Knowledge from books

I have to say I'm a little disappointed

In our family,

practice has always been greatly preferred over theory

Save yourself the trouble?

Have my colleagues hired you?

They would do anything to stop me from doing my research

But you

You must be crazy to think I would allow this

Or to believe you

Crazy

A lot of things are crazy

Probably even most of them

Why should I be an exception?

I need your help to fix the watch

Which watch?

The watch which allows me to jump through time

I'll tell you again that's not possible

She jumps a few hours

But I cannot travel back as much as used to be able to

It was once capable of so much more

There is something very important I have to do in my time

Help me

Please

I need your help

I can't do it alone

I'd really like to help you out, but

You can become one of the most famous physicists humanity has ever seen

Who says that’s what I even want?

What do you want?

I want you to leave my house right now

There's the door

Should I still leave the house?

How many times did you have to turn back the clock for this to happen?

Not as often as you might think

Yes, of course

The first moment you really want to get out

of an unpleasant conversation with a supposedly insane person

and the next moment you're lying in bed with them

If I didn't believe in the unlimited possibilities of science

it would almost seem like

Magic

Yes

This time has lost quite some of its magic

In this time,

alchemical processes take place

Technology is creating possibilities

I couldn't even have imagined hundred years ago

These are miracles

Miracles, do you understand?

And yet, people are blind to this magic

Except for you

Apparently it runs in the family

If we manage to fix this pocket watch

We can form the world the way we want

Then everything would be possible

We could prevent wars and stop injustice

We could change the world

We can show people that everything is possible

Everything

Whoa, whoa

I can't believe it

This madman

This maniac

He actually ripped you out of your life

It seems like it was yesterday when we robbed the stagecoach

The coachman was astonished by your punch

And honestly Pete,

I was surprised too

Where did you learn that?

There is still so much I want to tell you

John

I feel

Your voice

Your voice brother

I can still hear it

It rages like a thunderstorm inside me

The last words you said to me before you died

I can't forget them

I swore that I would hunt these two sons of bitches

until the earth was soaked with their blood

I will set all the bloodhounds of the world on them

I will hunt, hunt, hunt them until the bitter end

You know

I look forward to the moment when they kneel on the ground in front of me

Whimpering and begging for their miserable, useless lives

I didn't forget your words

I will seek revenge

I'll be there

I will keep my promise

You can rely on me

CHAPTER TWO - ANGER

I was never a man of revenge

I never asked for much

I was loyal

humble

brave

and the only thing being good,

being beautiful in my life,

was taken away from me

Ah

What am I doing here?

John

So you found my old friend

Old friend

The guy looks like he's about to die

Fatally ill

Something like that? Yes

Then we have to help him

I already have

by bringing him here to 1979

In his time he would have died long ago

But he needs medical help

He needs some real food or at least a blanket

He will have it all, trust me

Why have you tied him up?

For our safety, my love

You haven't seen what he's capable of

The weak guy?

Help me

Help me

Help me

Help me

You don't want to help him, do you?

Help is a very flexible term

Only naive people believe that you can really save others

So you won't help him?

In some ways, yes

Or do you not believe me?

Yes

of course

Whoa

This is where it happened

This means

You won't find him here

Put that in, lonely wanderer

Come on, you have to obey me

You're not supposed to be enjoying yourself, bastard

You're supposed to be helping, as Janna would say

Your little rescuer would like it

if we were all one big family

But for that you have to help me

I don't know how to fix this wretched clock

I don't even know how I ended up in this goddamn time

I believe you

No one survives my

“truth-finding methodology” with just a hint of lie in their body

You bastard

You tortured me

and I don't even remember that

It will happen in the future

Well now I'm reassured

I know you hate me, little Pete

I would be shocked if it were otherwise

But remember

If we can't fix this watch

We are both trapped in this time forever

You still won't be able to save

your little, dead brother

Shut your dirty mouth You bastard

Let him be

This is still my house

Everything OK?

Does it hurt?

I'm used to worse

Can I get you anything?

No

Go, please

Go or he'll hurt you too

Leave please

Yes

Go

Jack

I am a physicist with a double PhD

All day long I am dealing with men who think

I'm not suitable for research just because I'm a woman

And?

Why do you care about the opinion of others?

I don't care about their opinion, but I do care about yours

And you think you can

soothe me with lukewarm excuses about Pete

What did he do to you?

He didn't do anything He's an old friend

An old friend that you keep hostage and torture?

You understand nothing about my time

What do you want to do with him?

I already said that

Tell me the truth

Please, you can trust me

He

He must die

Does he really have to?

Yes

There is no other way

There's a lot you don't know

Because you're keeping it from me

You would not understand

Just try me

My brother

He was a fine person

A soul of a human being

He was different

He was kind-hearted and friendly,

maybe a little naive

Pete he,

he reminds me of him

You have a brother?

In your time?

I had a brother

Before

John killed him

John?

That bastard John is Pete's brother

And that's why he has to be here

Be there for what?

So you shall give, life for life,

eye for eye, tooth for tooth,

hand for hand, foot for foot, brand for brand

Yes Okay, you want your revenge Okay

Then take revenge on John

But don't take your hate out on Pete

You cannot tell me what to do

You need my help You depend on me

That bastard John took the only thing I had

Nothing will happen to Pete

And that's a condition

Promise me

I promise

It stopped working, hasn’t it?

Who are you and why are you chasing me?

I'm an old friend, John

My name is Aiona

Do you remember?

And you're chasing me

For a long, long time now

What is happening to me?

You walk

You breathe

You eat

I don't know where I am

No, I know where I am, I don't know when I am

Is that important?

It's important for me

My brother Pete

I remember his death, but his grave is empty

I know that Jack the Madman had something to do with it

There was

a fight

And?

I don't know for sure That is exactly my problem

You humans are strange creatures

You always want to know everything

Let me tell you a story

Tell me, are you hard of hearing? I have no time for fairy tales

Oh

If you no longer have the time or the muse to listen to stories,

you shouldn't be surprised if your life is shrouded in darkness

Ah

John, I solved the problem

The paradox disappears when we apply a nonlinear logic

This will change all our calculations

Soon we will be able to travel through time again

William Parker

Aiona

Come back

How come this wound never stops bleeding?

Just ask Jack

Don't worry

when he's working on his watch,

he won't notice anything

He's obsessed

Jack is brilliant

You are brilliant

Book knowledge

I've never met a woman like you

There are no such women in my time

Yes,

these women exist in your time too

You're just not seeing them

Ouch

Sorry

I just feel like I'm being overlooked sometimes even in this time

And that what I say

is less true just because I say it in a female voice

Jack too, he needs me but

he doesn't see me

I see you

I see this magical light glowing down on you

And sparkling on your hair

I see your clever head

Pondering over so many books,

and your

delicate hands, which understand so much about medicine

and look after me so lovingly

Mmm

While you were whispering sweet nothings, I fixed the clock

Your time has come

Is that possible?

CHAPTER THREE - BARGAINING

You're back, finally

Finally

What an interesting word

Have you ever thought about that?

No more games, please

What a pity

I have

I found this letter, it's from my father and it's dated

This has to be a mistake

Are you ready for a story now?

Finally

Yes

Hear, hear,

the serious John finally finds some time to spare

So, my dear, listen carefully

Once upon a time lived a gifted watchmaker

and a brilliant alchemist

They were best friends

Together they figured out how to capture time,

their greatest enemy, with an ordinary pocket watch

That way, they could change time as they pleased

They went to war with their ancestors

drank wine with their descendants

and were able to collect all future knowledge in their clever heads

Two watches were made,

but as it often happens with young, eager men,

the first disagreements soon arose

Each of them just wanted the two watches for themselves

Their minds were soon confused by the many jumps in time,

didn't find a solution and so a bitter dispute broke out

The watchmaker killed the alchemist in a fight

and gave the pocket watches to his two sons

I don't understand

You can't understand

That's not what it's about

Playing with time has consequences John

People are used to linear time

Your mind isn't ready to fall out of time yet

Do you know where my brother is?

Yes

Tell me

No

Aiona, please tell me

I'll give you anything you want, money Do you want money?

There is only one thing you can give me,

but it is of no material value

Anything you want

Bring me the second watch which Jack the Madman took

The pocket watch?

Yes

But what do you want with that pocket watch?

You, who can jump around so freely in the worlds

My wishes are my own business

All right

Bring me the pocket watch

I will bring it to you, and now help me

Actually, I've already helped you more than enough

I don’t know what’s going to happen

The story can develop in an infinite number of directions

Unfortunately, I can't influence it

Are you ready?

Yes

Close your eyes

Pete

John

John help me

Run away

Pete

Pete

John

Pete

John

What do you mean, his time is up?

You promised me that nothing will happen to him

How often I had to turn back time to prevent your love

You did what?

You lousy, lying, dirty

No

Not now

The boy will die

One way or the other

Do you want to save one person or many people?

If you want to have what you desire,

you have to play by my rules

I'm sorry

Pete

I have to help him

Be patient

Patient?

How can I be patient after what I just saw?

It is almost time

It's not in my hands

Have faith

Trust you?

You don’t have to trust me Just have faith

I could think of something nice we could do to pass the time

John

People say that I am just an illusion

Don't you want to convince yourself otherwise?

I have to fix the watch

It's Pete's watch

You wanted to help me, right?

I have to go

How long have we been here for?

A few years

In your way of thinking

How is that possible?

Don't try to understand just have faith

Farewell

Aiona wait

Give me one last hint please

You have fixed this watch so many times

Even if you can't remember

Just have faith

The paradox disappears when we use non-linear logic

This changes all our calculations

A non-linear logic

Non-linear

It is winter

It's been going on far too long

Pete

What strange time did you end up at?

John

Pete

Hello Johnny

You wanted to surprise us?

We beat you to it

Hand over your weapon

Otherwise, he will be dead long before you can say paradox

My watch was finished just in time for me

to discover, on my first trip into the past,

that you are no longer in your time

We had no other choice than to wait

You waited?

Luckily little Pete passed the time by repeatedly sending

his pitiful cries for help through the space-time continuum

There's a lot you can do with these watches

You can travel forward jump backwards

Experiencing things over and over again

But there's one thing you can't do

Outwit death

So he's dead?

Something like that

But alive enough to feel this

Stay put, otherwise you'll feel the same

Pete Can you hear me?

Come on

CHAPTER FOUR - DEPRESSION

Come on

Pete

I thought it was a dream

I thought you were just a crazy nightmare

Crazy nightmare

No one has called me that in a long time

What did you do to my brother?

While you were whining for the last century

I saved him

You didn't save him, you shot him

Shot down, shot and brought here, so in a sense saved

You're sick

Now I remembered

It's been going on for too long

You always overdid it

Exaggerated?

You killed my brother first

Now don't be a killjoy, Johnny Boy

You haven't seen what I'm going to do with him yet

Jack please

Ah

What a monster I am

I completely forgot to introduce you:

Janna, my lovely granddaughter

John Parker the son of a bitch who killed my brother

John Parker the son of a bitch who killed my brother

Janna my lovely granddaughter

So now you know each other

Ah By the way, without Janna

I wouldn't have been able to repair the watch

Thanks again

How did you do it?

It wasn't broken

It can't be broken at all

You only know that when you understand its essence

I remembered and

just stepped out of the linearity

Do you see Janna?

These are the men from my time

This man still understands magic

Ah

Enough talking

Um

Now for the Grand Finale

If you can even call it that

When it repeats itself forever

You can not be serious?

John

This is for you

That's enough

You wouldn’t do that to your great-great-great

Pete

Let's go home

Hey, Pete

Hold on

It will be alright

Breathe Pete

We are at home again

Let's end it once and for all

Right now

In this time

It's been a long journey Jack

And if there's one thing I've learned from this

It's that time is valuable

Whether we understand it or not

Whether it's an illusion or not

We only have this one life

And I don't want to take that away from you, my old friend

Oh, Johnny

I didn't know there was a poetic side to you

If I had noticed this earlier,

we would have met here much earlier to chat

Mock me all you want

This is my peace offering under one condition

Pass me my pocket watch

Your pocket watch

It never was your pocket watch

Not even your father's

Your father stole it from my father

I didn't know that

That doesn't help us, it is centuries too late for peace

It's never too late

There are two kinds of men:

Those who talk and can't stop because they're afraid

And those with loaded revolvers

Don’t be a disappointment in your last breaths

Please let me live

Please

Please let me live

Paradox

Pete

Pete

Hey, no, no, no

Hey, hey

We're just going back in time I know how to do that now

Everything will be fine

John

It's okay

No time in the world can bring him back

Let him go

CHAPTER FIVE - ACCEPTANCE

Farewell, little brother

It was the right decision, John

Why did you help me?

Humans are not ready for the chaos of timelessness

It drove Jack crazy

And you almost met the same fate
