All language subtitles for The Outer Limits_S07E15_Time to Time.srt - 2

[man] Sixties, huh?

You a history major?

A grad student?

I could help you study.
I'm something of an expert
on the '60s.

Oh, really?

Uh-huh. Go ahead.
You ask me a question.

First one I miss,
I'll take off.
You'll never see me again.

-[Lorelle gasps]
-Now go on.

The first two
Gemini astronauts?

Grissom and Young. 1965.

President Kennedy's
Secretary of State?

Dean Rusk.
Don't waste my time.

The Johnson administration
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs?

Maxwell Taylor, replaced
by Earl Wheeler in 1964.

Your turn. Uh...
Losers, 1969 World Series?

The Baltimore Orioles.

Academy Award winner,
Best Supporting Actress, 1965?

Shelley Winters.
A Patch of Blue.

Most popular country music song
on the charts for 1967?

Who cares about that?

I don't listen
to country music.

I don't hang out with Johnson's
Joint Chiefs of Staff.

You can't stand losing,
can you?

Well, the only thing I'm losing
by talking to you is time.

Time that I need for my
master's thesis, so...

You know, in the sixties,
they'd say you were uptight.

Oh, really?

And what would
they say about you?

They'd say I'm a
glass-is-half-full kind of guy.

-[Gavin] Oh.
-Oh, my God.

-I'm really sorry.
Here, let me...
-Oh, my God.

-Ow.
-What did I do?

Your ring cut me.

Oh, I'm sorry.
Can I get you a bandage?

No, I'm fine. Thank you.

I just-- I want you
to leave me alone.

Okay, I'm... [sighs]

Okay.

Sorry.

[chronograph beeping]

[automated voice]
Analyzing blood sample.

Target confirmed.

[thunder rumbling]

[over answering machine]
This is John Riley
in apartment 6.

I still don't have
any hot water.

Will you please
call the plumber already?

[answering machine beeps]

Mom?

Mom, did you call
the plumber for Mr. Riley?

[tiredly] Oh,
I'll do it tomorrow.

You said that yesterday.

I've been managing this
building for 20 years.

No one's gonna fire me.

That's not the point, Mom.

You can't lay in bed all day.

I told you. I've got a cold.

I talked to Professor Martin.

He said you could
audit his class for free.

You just have to pay
for the paints and brushes.

You shouldn't have bothered.

Mom, you used to love to paint.

It was a long time ago.

Yeah.

Twenty years.

I gotta go to work.

[suspenseful music playing]

[chronograph beeps]

[thunder rumbling]

[static]

[radio announcer]
...gonna be all next weekend.

Let's look at
the live local calendar.

Uh, keep yourselves
aware tonight.

That storm is really starting
to brew out there.

I'm looking out the
window right now,
and it is looking nasty.

[transmission interrupted,
static]

-[vehicle honks]
-[Lorelle gasps]

[Lorelle exclaims]

[Control Voice]
There is nothing wrong
with your television.

Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling
the transmission.

We control the horizontal
and the vertical.

We can deluge you
with a thousand channels

or expand one single image
to crystal clarity

and beyond.

We can shape your vision

to anything our imagination
can conceive.

For the next hour,

we will control
all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from
the deepest inner mind

to The Outer Limits.

[Control Voice] It is said
the moving finger of fate,

having written, is indelible.

But what if destiny's trail
could be erased,

-and etched anew?
-[door opens]

[Lorelle] Oh...

Tea?

[cups clinking]

Where am I?

Not "where,"

when.

I'm afraid nothing
will quite make sense

until you find out
what time it is.

Why?

Because as odd as this
is going to sound,

it's 8:30 a.m.,
August 3rd, 2059.

You're crazy.

Perhaps, but that
doesn't change the fact

that you leapt
70 years into the future.

That's what we do here.

Where's here?

Chronautics.

Time travel for hire.

And, uh, highly miniaturized,
as you can see.

You're telling me that,
that watch took me
70 years into the future?

Your future.
Our present.

Glad you're awake.

What did you do?
Did you drug me and kidnap
me or something?

Calm down.

No, you calm down, baldy!
I'm gonna get out of here.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.
It's all right.

The first jump's always
a little tough.

Why don't you hang here?
Have some tea.

Prentice makes a mean
cup of Darjeeling.

I warned you
about this one.

You know
I have reservations.

Come on, Prentice.
She's a slam dunk.

Don't worry about it.
Perfect candidate.

That remains
to be seen.

What was that all about?

[sighs]

He's not sure you're right.

Right for what?

To join the team.
I think he wants me
to take you home.

Oh, well,
at least we agree on that.

I don't think you fully
appreciate what
that means, Lorelle.

I'd have to zero out
the impact on the future.

Oh, right.
Of course you would.

I would have
to take you back

an instant before the events
that were ordained.

You'll swerve
to avoid that truck,

and you'll die

when your car
goes off the cliff.

"Graduate student missing,

"presumed dead
in auto accident."

"Presumed dead."

So where's my body?

Right here,

if I don't take you back.

If I do, you swim
with the fishes.

That's really cute.

You know,
I have one at home

that says that I walked
on the moon.

Okay.

Come on.

Come on. I bet you
don't have one of these.

There are windows
into the time stream.

Our technology allows us
to see through these windows

and sometimes even
travel through them.

Of course, because
you're time travelers.

[sighs] Travis, Satchko,
I'd like you to meet somebody.

Uh, Prentice, you've already
had the pleasure.

This is our newest recruit,
Lorelle Palmer.

Hi, I'm Satchko Watanabe.

You can call me Satchie.

They recruited me from 2144.

Lorelle just came here
from 1989.

[Satchko] That's one of
our spanners
working on a job in 1863.

You expect me to believe that
that movie playing down there

is actually happening.

Who are you people?

Is this some giant
practical joke?

[Travis] Another
classic Gavin recruit.

Lorelle, it's great
to have you aboard.

They plucked me out of 2003.

I was just about to
graduate summa cum laude

from Cornell School
of Hotel Administration.

So if I need extra towels,
I come to you?

I warned you, Gavin.
She's not a team player.

He's right.
I'm not a team player.

Shut up.
You are a team player.

I'm getting
really tired of this.

Thank you for the tea,

and thank you
for the tour. Good-bye.

Okay, so it's not exactly
a slam dunk.

I'd love to stay
and deal with this...

[Lorelle] Hello?

[Prentice] But I have an
appointment in 1995.

Your window to 1989
closes in an hour.

If she's not aboard
by then, take her back.

Lorelle, I know it's hard,
but when they first
recruited me

I didn't believe
any of this either,

then somebody broke the rules
and took me on a jump.

Looks like I'm gonna
have to do the same.

I'm... I really am...
I'm really tired of this.

If we wait 40 minutes,
I can get us to 1680.

We don't have time for that.

Oh, hey, you're a 60s fan.

I can get you 6 minutes
in 1969.

We're gonna time travel
with an antique pocket watch?

Mm-hmm.

Okay. Okay, I'll play.

What about the location?

Your choice.

Berkeley, California, April 14.

I'll see what I can do.

I don't--

Believe...

...it.

[people chattering]

Love that time-traveling
head rush.

Can you believe they
actually pay me for this?

"Ban warmongering pigs
from Berkeley.

"ROTC Petition Drive,
April 14."

That's today.

Too bad we can't stick around
for the festivities.

Hey, baby.

Want...

Groovy.

[Lorelle] I don't believe this.

We're in 1969.

[inhales deeply]
I love the smell of 1969
in the morning.

How is any of this
possible?

You really want
a physics lesson now?

You'll have plenty of time
for that when we get back.

-This is incredible.
-Yeah.

You know, I have a trunk full
of these posters under my bed.

They were my dad's.

Oh, he was so passionate
about ending the war.

Yeah, I remember that
from your file.

He planted a bomb
in the ROTC office.

He died when it
went off prematurely.

Took me a long time
to get over that.

My mother never did.

Gavin, my dad is still
alive right now, isn't he?

Of course. The 14th.
April 14th, 1969.

That's the night
your father was killed.

This is the most important
day of my life.

-Don't even think that you--
-Why not? I can save him.

You can't just
mess with the past.

It's not that simple.
We're gonna go back now.

You guys do it
all the time.

Chronautics,
time travel for hire.

Yeah, every one of our missions
is cleared by the council

to make sure we don't
mess up the future.

Our return window's only open
for a couple of minutes.

So come on.
This was a mistake.

What is it? Oh!

[suspenseful music playing]

Lorelle!

Damn it.

[telephone ringing in distance]

Yes?

Can I help you?

You're the manager?

Yes. Are you here
to see the apartment?

Uh, yes.

Oh, I'll just get the keys.
Come on in.

I'm Angie Palmer.

I'm Lauren.

Oh, that's just
a silly little hobby.

My husband keeps
buying me canvasses

hoping I'll turn into
the next Rauschenberg,

so we can retire
to the French Riviera.

I'll get lunch off the stove,
and I'll take you next door.

-This is amazing.
-Sorry?

Um... have you guys
lived here long?

No. My husband and I just
started managing the place

while he's getting
his master's.

You look really familiar.
Do you go to the school?

[girl giggling]

Uh...

Lorelle, you better not be
jumping on that bed!

[young Lorelle] I'm not, Mommy.

[Angie] That's Lorelle,
my 5-year-old tornado.

She's always looking
for the next adventure.
Keeps me on my toes.

I'll be back in a few
minutes, sweetheart.

Give me the next transport
window, November 20th, 2059?

[automated voice]
2352.

Great. Midnight.

Next communication
window?

Next communications
window, 1320.

Great.

You know Tom Palmer?

[man 1] Is that the truth?

-[man 2] I'm serving
my country.
-[man 1] Really? You're serv--

-What is your problem here?
-Either of you guys
know Tom Palmer?

Why do you want to know?

Oh, he's just an old friend.

Yeah, I'll bet you are.

[scoffs]

What was that all about?

He thinks you're a cop
or a fed.

You sure don't look like
any friend of Tom Palmer.

You're not, are you?

Come on. You can tell me.

That big mouth Palmer's
been trying to get us kicked
off this campus for a year.

Can I trust you?

Yeah, sure.

I'm IRS.

Yeah, Palmer owes
two years back taxes,

leftist bastard.

Thinks he can get away
with scamming Uncle Sam,

I tell you, man,
it really chaps my ass.

You got a problem there,
Susie?

[chuckling]

Those are his friends.
Hang out over there,
he'll show up.

Thanks.

Hi, there. ROTC?

[keypad beeping]

We seem to be getting
some interference.

[Satchko] I'm picking up
a reading on DX-27.

[Travis] That's Gavin's
chronograph. Where is he?

1969.

What the hell
is he doing in 1969?

We'll have a communication
window open in 14 seconds.

[Gavin] Yeah.

What the hell are you
doing in 1969?

[Gavin] Is Prentice there?

No, but he's due back
any minute.

[sighs] All right, look, um,

I was trying to convince
the new recruit we're legit.
She took off on me.

You mean she's just
running around '69?

[Travis] Better get her
back here fast.

This trip isn't authorized.

Yeah, um,
l... I'm working on it.

But, uh, I'm gonna
need you guys to
cover for me with Prentice.

[scoffs] I don't think so.

I'm not making
that mistake again.

[sighs]

Travis?

Oh, no, no, no.

Come on, man.
You owe me.

I can't lie to Prentice.
He'll know.

He sees
right through me.

He's got those hawk eyes
that bore right in,

like your head's some kind
of giant transparent melon.

[Satchko]
Comms window is closing
in three seconds.

[Travis] Find her
and get back here!

Thanks.

Why didn't I think of that?

I'm really glad
you liked the place.

We're gonna need
first month's rent,

and $100 security deposit,

but if you don't
have the cash--

-[telephone rings]
-Oh, excuse me.

[Lorelle] Okay.

[Angie] Hello?

Hello.

Hello.

Would you
like to see my room?

Yes, I would.

Wow! What a pretty room
you have.

[chuckling]
Oh, Mr. Noodles.

How did you know?

Well, he looks
just like a Mr. Noodles.

Do you know what?
If your, um, if your
aunt ever buys you

a music box
that matches this,

don't leave it sitting
on the edge of your table.

Huh?

Just take my word for it.

[young Lorelle]
That's my favorite picture
in the whole world.

Your mommy painted that,
didn't she?

Does she know
how much you like it?

I guess.

No, I don't think
she ever did.

-Would you do
something for me?
-Yup. Mm-hmm.

Would you tell your mommy
how much you love
that painting?

Why?

Well, because sometimes
mommies need to hear
things like that.

Especially when they're sad.

-'Kay.
-Okay.

This is my monkey.

[Travis] Window opening
for Prentice.

[Prentice] ...do this!
You have to leave her!

-No! No! We're going now!
-[Prentice shouting]

[indistinct clamoring]

We're going now!
We're going!

-All right.
-No!

Go! Go! Go!

[Angie] Okay, honey.
I love you.

Oh, Tom, I almost forgot.

I think we have
a new tenant.

Her name's Lauren.

Yeah, she's gonna
take Number 6.

She's here right now. You wanna
talk to her about anything?

Oh, no. Hurry.

No, no, no. Go, go, go.
Don't miss it.

Okay. Yup. Bye.

I hope I didn't make him
miss his bus.

He's heading over
to the campus to organize
some anti-ROTC rally.

Really?

You know, I'd really be
interested in doing
something like that.

-Do you know what time
he'll be home?
-Oh, not till late.

Sometimes I wish he
wasn't so dedicated,

but we all have
to make sacrifices

if we want to end the war.

Yeah, I guess so.

So where is the rally?

They're organizing
it at the campus
by the quad.

It's too late.
I did what I had to do.

Of course you did.

It was all part
of what I was paid to do.

Save your sister.

-[man] Dad.
-Huh?

Dad.

There's someone
I want you to meet.

My God in heaven...

For a minute I thought...

You see what old age
does to you?

Dad. Look.

It's not possible.

It's not.

[girl] Seda?

[speaking Yiddish]

[alarm sounding]

Looks like he's
wrapping things up.

[automated voice]
Incoming traveler.

[Satchko] Another successful
mission, sir.

Yes. Well done.

Thank you.

It was very satisfying.

Where's Gavin?

Travis?

I think he took
the new recruit

down to level three
for some coffee.

Why isn't the
viewing portal on?

Saving energy.

Turn on the
viewing portal, Travis.

What is he doing in 1969?

This trip hasn't been vetted.

He was just trying to convince
Lorelle to join us.

[automated voice]
Warning. Warning.
Time stream instability.

Time stream instability.

Lorelle must have
done something.

She has changed
the time stream.

Scanning temporal integrity.

Checking historical database.

[alarm sounding]

Prentice, she's gone!

[automated voice]
Searching database.
Person not found.

[Prentice] She doesn't
exist anymore.

According
to all the databanks,
she was never born.

We need a full regression
analysis on the time stream.

We've got to find out exactly
what they did to
change history.

I'm on it.

We need to talk to Gavin.

Get me the next
communication window.

[Travis] It's not
for another two hours.

Remember me?

I'm not leaving
until I do what I have to do.

Oh, yes, you are.

I just want 24 hours.

Yeah, and I want a chalet
in Lake Geneva. Guess who's
got the better chance?

What is the problem?

You are the problem right now.

I've gotta get you
back through the window.

And when's that gonna be?

[sighs] 2300, 52 minutes.
That's 11:52 civilian time.

So if we miss it, then we'll
just take the next one.

You just don't get it.
It could be months.
It could be years.

This is getting
real old.

Oh, I'm... I'm really
sorry. You okay?

It's okay. I'm fine.

-I didn't see you there.
-[man] Thomas.

-I'm okay.
-Tom, why are you so late?

Look, I gotta
talk to you, man, okay?

Now. Look,
something's going down.

James, I missed my bus.

Can we talk after the speech?

-Thomas!
-Yeah.

-Do I know you?
-Hi, I'm Lauren.

I came to your apartment
building and I looked at
an apartment there.

Oh, yeah, my wife
told me about you.

Something wrong?

Something familiar about you.
Have we met?

Come on!
Where's the speaker?

Speech!

Listen, I, uh, I gotta
do my thing here.

Maybe we can talk
afterward?

Yeah. Great.

-Thomas...
-Hey, after... After, man.

You were about to snitch
to Thomas, weren't you?

Oh, hell, no, man.

Don't lie to me,
you bastard.

Look, I told you I'm in, okay?

[Tom] Listen up! Listen up!

Can I have your attention,
everyone?

Everyone, look, first of all,
I want to thank you all
for coming out

and showing your support today.

What's going on
in southeast Asia
may seem a world away,

but we can no longer afford
to be silent. To acquiesce.

To allow the slaughter of
innocents to be carried out

in the name of some
hollow altruisms...

[continues indistinctly]

[crowd cheering]

[rock song playing]

♪ You've got to understand

[crowd applauds, whoops]

Richard, did you see James?
He wanted to talk to me.

I think he split.

That was a great speech.

[chuckles] You in school?

Um, I'm kind of
on leave right now.

Give up your education,
you give up the power
to change things.

Doesn't sound like someone
who's trying to
bring down the system.

Yeah, well, you know,
I'm not much of
a revolutionary.

[over earpiece]
Try to fix things,
we break them.

-Then why would you--
-Why would I what?

[Gavin clears throat]

Nothing. I just wish
I knew how I could help.

Listen, seeing how
we're about to be neighbors,

would you like to have dinner
with me tonight?

You and Angie?
My treat.

Um... Sure. Sure.
That'd be great,

but why don't you
come over to our place?

Can't really afford
sitters for Lorelle.

-7 o'clock all right?
-It's great.

Okay, then.
See you then.

-Great.
-I have to find
my friend James.

Okay, so you had a little
face time with dad.

-You happy now?
-Not yet.

You know, I never would've
picked you if I knew you were
gonna be such a pain.

Why did you pick me,
anyway?

[sighs] We had our reasons.

Is it because I scored so high
on my IQ test in psychology?

Not exactly.

I speak four languages.

I'm athletic.

Actually, I guess
it is an honor,
if I think about it,

that you chose me out of
the billions of people
that you could have chosen.

Well, actually, it wasn't
billions that we had to
choose from.

What do you mean?

Well, not everyone
can survive time travel.

It takes a rare,
physiological condition

involving especially dense
cellular composition.

About one in 50 million people
have the right makeup.

"Dense cellular composition"?

This is why you chose me?

[stutters] No, I mean,
the other things you mentioned
were a definite plus,

and since we
always snatch people
in their last seconds of life,

we also wanted somebody
who died really young.

Oh, well, gee.
This is all really flattering.

Of course, there is
one other qualification
for being a spanner,

and, uh, frankly, it's the
reason Prentice has his
doubts about you.

Oh, and what is
this grand qualification?

Character...

Selflessness.

The ability to put the
greater good ahead of your
own personal interests.

Who are you people
to judge me?

We have to judge you.

In time travel,
there's too much at stake

for us to risk adding
the wrong person to our team.

But you know what?
You can keep your team,

because I'm not
interested in joining.

What are you doing?

I'm taking you
where your father isn't.

-Take your hand of me.
-Not a chance.

Don't you remember
in my file it talks about my
kick-boxing experience?

Nice try. You took
two classes and bagged it.

[scoffs]

[thud]

I didn't need more than
two classes to learn that.

[automated voice]
Communication window
open to 2059.

[console beeping]

Look, I know I shouldn't
have brought her here.
I promise I'll get her back

before she does
anything stupid.

She already changed
the time stream.

Lorelle's presence
at her parents' house

caused her father
to miss his bus,

and made him late
to a rally at the park.

As a result, a man
named James Williams

was unable to tell him
about a key meeting

with the activists
responsible for the bombing.

In the new timeline,
Thomas Palmer no longer
dies in the bombing,

but thousands of others
will eventually die
who would have lived.

And their descendants
will never be born,
including our friend Satchko.

You've got to restore
the time stream.

You've got to make sure
Thomas Palmer finds out
about that meeting tonight.

Three, two, one, blast off!

[young Lorelle giggles]

Hide and go seek!

[Tom groans]

One Mississippi...

Two Mississippi...

[Angie] Three Mississippi...
Four Mississippi.

You're ruining my count.

Start over.

[Young Lorelle] Don't come
in yet. I'm not ready!

[Angie laughs]

I'm still counting.

-24 Mississippi.
-25 Mississippi.

I met our new tenant
at the rally today.

She's sweet, isn't she?
She reminds me of someone.

Yeah, I can't place her.

Maybe a sitcom actress
or something.

What are we serving
our guest for dinner tonight?

My mother's new recipe...

Semolina surprise.

-Salmonella surprise?
-[doorbell buzzes]

That must be the victim now.

[Young Lorelle] Daddy!

Here I come, rascal!

[all laughing]

[Lorelle] Mmm. I love
semolina surprise.

I haven't had it in years.

You said this was
your mother's original recipe.

Well, she exaggerates
a little sometimes.

[Tom] Did James call?

Not while I was here.

Hmm. Strange, you know?

Uh, he was all gung-ho to talk
to me at the rally today,

then he starts
talking to Richard.

And I never saw him after that.

Hmm.

Thomas tells me you're
a history student.

Mm-hmm.

You picked the right
place to visit.

History's being made
right here right now.

Tell me about it.

Mom, can I go watch TV
in your room?

Okay.

-It's Smothers Brothers night.
-[Lorelle chuckles]

I'll get the rice pudding.

You really have
a great family.

I hope you appreciate them.

That's why I'm working to
make the world a better place.

It's for them, not me.

I just...

Violence isn't the answer.

I don't think
violence is the answer.

Although I sometimes
have trouble

convincing my friends
in the movement.

They don't think of the
consequences of their action?

The consequences of their
actions on their families?

Well, I try and tell them.

[Tom sighs]

Sorry, I just...

I got caught up there.

All that talk at the rally
about fighting back
and sacrifice

got me a little carried away.

[telephone rings]

-Hello?
-Hey, listen, I'm a friend
of James Williams.

He said he was trying
to get a message to you before,
but he didn't get the chance.

That's right.

Yeah, well, everyone's
meeting at Richard's tonight,

so get over there
as soon as you can.

And you're a friend of James?

What did you say
your name was?

Luke...

Luke Skywalker.

Luke Skywalker.
Okay, thanks, man. Peace.

Yeah, um, may the force
be with you.

Where are you going?

I got a meeting.

I'll go. Can I come?

I'm sorry. You can't.

Are you... You know,
maybe that was one of the feds

you were telling me about.
Maybe you shouldn't go, Thomas.

I'll be back soon.
I promise.

Are you sure
I can't come with you?

Ah, hey, you can't. Really.
It's private. I'm sorry.

It's Thomas.

Go ahead. Let him in.

[Richard] I didn't expect
you here.

I only just heard
you were meeting.

And who told you that?

I didn't tell him, man.
I swear.

Doesn't matter who told me.
What the hell is going on?

It's very simple, Tom.

The time for talk is over.

Meaning?

Meaning tonight we will
enter McClanahan Hall

and leave a little token
of our esteem
in the ROTC Headquarters.

For God's sake,
we are not going to stoop

to the tactics of the people
we are fighting!

Don't be naive.
You knew this was coming.

It's time we sent a message.

You're gonna plant a bomb?

Better than that.

We're gonna
put it on a timer.

You're gonna wait
till that building is full?

How many Vietnamese
were murdered today?
How many children?

You think you can stop
one atrocity with another?

You can say you did everything
you could to stop us.

Your conscience
will be clear.

We're wasting time here.

No. You're destroying
everything we're working for!

Tom...

Power to the people, Tom.

Tie him up.

Tie him up!

So where is
this meeting tonight?

Why?

Because something's
gonna happen tonight.

Something terrible.

What are you talking about?

I can't explain it to you,

but Thomas is in real danger.

Please trust me.

I do trust you.

I don't know why, but I do.

Do you know
where the meeting is?

Uh, at Richard's pad.

He lives in a condemned
building across from
the campus.

There's no phone
and no electricity.

I'll take you.

No. No, no.
You have your little girl.
You stay here.

It's hard to find.
I'll get you directions.

[sighs]

[dog barks distantly]

[muffled shouts]

[banging]

Thomas!

-Who did this to you?
-[Tom grunts]

Richard and the others are
planting a bomb at the school.

-Hurry. Untie me.
-You mean-- You mean--

You weren't... You weren't
involved in that?

I don't believe in violence.

But if you weren't
planting the bomb, then--

Cut me loose! I have to get
to the ROTC building.

You weren't planting the bomb.
You were trying to remove it.

What?

I grew up thinking you
died trying to hurt people.

And now I finally
know the truth.

I can have you back.

What are you talking about?
Untie me!

No, I can't.

If I do, you'll die tonight
trying to disarm the bomb.

[sighs in exasperation]
You're crazy, you know that?

I won't lose you again.

I'll run across to the campus,
and I'll call the police,

and I'll stop
the bombing myself.

Wait. Wait! No, wait!

[grunts]

[door slams]

Operator, get me the police.

[Lorelle grunts]

She's a friend of Tom's.

What is she doing here?

I don't know.

Let's get out of here.

[James] Thomas!

I snuck away when they
left me as a lookout.

Richard's gone crazy.

What are we gonna do?

We gotta get over there.

Not me, man.
I'm done with all this.

-Lorelle?
-[Lorelle exclaims softly]

Okay. Easy.

Where's my father?

He went to
dismantle the bomb
as he was meant to.

Okay. We still
have two minutes.

-I can stop him--
-Lorelle, listen to me.

When your father inadvertently
sets off that bomb tonight,

he saves 12 people from dying
in that blast tomorrow.

One of them goes on
to have a child.

That child becomes
a famous researcher.

He discovers
the cure for AIDS.

He saves thousands
of lives,

as well as their descendants.

Your father made a choice
to save lives.

Would you choose any less?

There's still time.
I can save him.

Yes, there is.

I told you everything
I know, Lorelle.

It's in your hands.

It's your call, Lorelle.

[chronograph beeping]

Forgive me, Father.

[explosion]

Good to have you back.

Good to be back.

I should bring you up
in front of the council
for what you did.

I know.

Although I did learn
my recruiting tactic
from somebody.

Well, the council is
backlogged this month,

so it might be best to wait.

That was a very brave
thing you did.

What my father did was brave.

Letting him die...
That's something
I'll have to live with

for the rest of my life.

He placed the greater good
above his own welfare.

You learned from his example.

Perhaps the most important
quality we look for.

So I can't go back
to my own time?

[Prentice] Unfortunately, no.

In that time stream,
you really are dead.

But I can't leave my mother.

She's too weak.

She won't make it without me.

You saved thousands of people
with your difficult decision,

but you saved one other
with the simplest
of words.

Your mother.

I don't understand.

It was your conversation
with your 5-year-old self.

It was her encouragement,
your encouragement,

which inspired your mother
after your father died.

Will I be able
to see her again?

Perhaps.

One never knows
what time will bring.
