INDISTINCT CHATTER

Where's Greg?

Oh, he called in sick. I'm covering for him.

Just fix it, please.

Mr Corrigan has a conference call at 8:45.

Not a problem.

Greg, hey, thanks for coming. - I'm Vincent.

Screen's locked up again.

I'm gonna need it for a call in five minutes.

Can you get me back up? - Oh, yeah, for sure.

I just need to get back there.

Hal? Listen, I gotta let the IT guy work on the computer for a bit here.

Let me just duck into another office.

Yeah, let me put you on hold, hang on.

Just take two minutes, two minutes...

Sorry.

Just turn it on and off again, I guess, huh?

VINCENT LAUGHS No, no, no, sir.

'something's wrong..

'According to the historical record'

'Anthony Corrigan, stockbroker'

was at his desk on a conference call

I decide I should at least try to warn them.

Everyone listen!

I can't explain why, but if you don't all follow me right now, you're going to die.

You have to leave now.

And then I wake up.

DR PERROW: Dreams of 9/11 aren't uncommon, Vincent

even for those who were nowhere near ground zero.

I have the dream because it happened.

My mission was a proof of concept

to send a confirmation that I arrived safely in the 21st Century

then die, so no one could trace me.

But...

I survived.

They won't forgive that.

So you're afraid whomever you were to send this message to

intends to punish you?

They're already here.

I've seen the changes in history.

At least, the histories that I remember.

And they'll be coming for me.

[DOOR LOCK BEEPS] [DOOR CLICKS OPEN]

Walt!

Jesus, what took you so long?

You're lucky they gave me permission to talk to you at all.

I'm gonna say one thing and I need you to listen.

Destroy that device

by whatever means possible.

I've never asked you to do anything more important.

What, that thing in the barn?

You need to do it now. - What is it?

What is your association with those people in the barn?

They all raised a red flag a few months back.

You said that they were just a bunch of kids.

I ask because two of those people are in the hospital, and a farmer is dead.

Alright... I'll talk.

A few weeks ago I received a top secret inter-departmental communication

asking if I'd noticed any changes in you.

I told a pair of special agents with very expensive sunglasses

that, yeah-— WAKEFIELD: You know your friends

are giving you up as we speak? - Sir...

can you please be quiet so I can think?

FORBES (VO) CONTINUES: and your Wife noticed, too.

Nothing that either one of us could point to

but enough to say that something is up.

These people, whoever they are, if they have something on you

if they're using you, if they're making you do things

we can protect you!

Destroy the device.

That's all I got.

PHILIP WHISPERS: They're never gonna do that, boss.

Philip, stay off the coms.

I'm not talking to you anymore.

Before I go...

they wanted me to ask you about this.

HE CLEARS HIS THROAT Well, Walt...

that's a handkerchief.

They tell me it's a communication device.

Really?

It's made from something called graphine.

A technology we're working on but we're not quite there yet.

They suspect that it's powered by the natural electricity of the human body

capable of broadcasting an encrypted signal for miles.

This one came from the high-school senior that's in surgery right now.

TRAVELER D-13: How is she doing?

DOCTOR: Rifle was shot from point-blank range.

There's severe damage to the spleen and...

Who are you? TRAVELER D-13: Seriously, no one told you?

I'm a specialist, hereto assist from Grace hospital.

Call me Derek.

DR MORI: And suction?

DOCTOR 2: Take care of that blood.

DR MORI: The bullet's causing a lot of inflammation

between the T-12 and L-1. I'm worried about the lumbar nerves.

DOCTOR 2: We can't get ahead of this blood loss anyway, so...

DR MORI: OK.

DR MORI: Let's get it outta there.

OFFICER: I need to state for the record that you gave me permission

to look at your phone and listen to your messages without a lawyer present.

Well, I have nothing to hide, so...

Wait, what are you doing?

I'm playing back a saved message.

Yeah, that one, that has nothing to do with... with anything.

Sir, the message came from a phone registered to you

that called this number two seconds before a man with no identification

who was allegedly holding a gun to your head-

was fatally shot from the apartment next door.

And you saved this message because...

It's kind of a keeper.

MARCY (RECORDING): Hey, David, it's me.

I guess it 's my turn to leave you a goofy message.

[just know how stressed out you get when you don 't hear from me

so I wanted you to know that I might be away for a while

maybe even relocated.

I just don 't want you wondering or worrying

if you don't hear from me. You know, if it happens.

I don't even know for sure if it will, but if it does...

thank you for being there for me when I really needed someone.

In another time or another life, right?

'Goodbye, David..

See?

MAN SHOUTING OUTSIDE: This is bullshit!

Jesus, he's having a bad day.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Hey, Jeff, keep your voice down.

I told you what happened.

The optics suck, and you know it.

It's on the news, you shot a 13-year-old kid.

That was about to shoot Carly.

Who also murdered her mother and brother last night.

That kid? Number 2 pencil to the head, both of them.

Girl was certifiable.

Now, get Carly's ass down here to make a statement

and you're just the poor bastard who had to stop her.

OK, Carly's not answering her cell.

We've been having trouble at home.

In the meantime, buddy, I'm sorry, but I gotta take your badge.

Forensics already got your gun.

Oh, come on, this is bullshit, man. Let me just go down the hall

and talk to him. - Hey, no.

Not with booze on your breath, OK?

Hey, if I was forced to shoot a kid, I might have a few drinks, too.

This is gonna work itself out.

Just go home.

I can see there's a fight going on inside of you.

If you're worried about Kat-...

She is completely in the dark about this.

She called me earlier to tell me that you sent her away.

That your life was in danger and so was hers.

Is that true?

It's what made me put a team together to come after you.

We were tracking your car, and then it disappeared like it went into

a dead zone... - HE STAMMERS: Yes, but...

she's alright?

If you don't talk, you won't walk

which means Kat may never, ever find out whether you are dead or alive-

Destroy the device, Walt.

Please.

I'm begging you.

Look, I probably shouldn't tell you this

but I have also been told that that device is far beyond-

DOOR LOCK BEEPS

Thank you, Agent Forbes.

I'll take it from here. - Look, I need more time.

Seriously?

You're telling him more than he's telling you.

But, hey, thanks for trying.

Walt...

remember what I said.

AGENT WAKEFIELD: Yeah, yeah, yeah, destroy the device.

He heard you the first time. We all did.

DOOR SLAMS

Yeah, it's not gonna happen.

DR PERROW: Are you feeling threatened, Vincent?

VINCENT: No, I have defences in place.

Deuterium oxide in the radiant heating system

acts as a fair space-time attenuator.

It slows neutrons.

Don't worry, it's not radioactive.

Uh... Why wouldn't they just assume that you died on 9/11?

Why do you think that they're still after you?

Because they've already found me twice.

VINCENT: / found my way out of New York

and took a train to the Pacific Northwest.

I had the money and the stock certificates I'd taken from the safe

but if I was going to stay hidden, I needed more.

'Historically, there was'

a man named Oliver Norton, became a tech millionaire on his own

and all I did was insert myself into the process

as invisibly as possible, and take my fair share.

VINCENT: lhad convinced Oliver that I had debilitating phobias

difficulties dealing with people, privacy.”.

I needed a front man for my company

that uses proprietary computer software to predict market trends.

Of course, I wouldn't let anyone see it

{not even him..

As long as the predictions were correct, he didn't care.

'In fact, he was so grateful'

he constantly wanted to reward me.

And that's when Oliver introduced me

to the woman who became Taylor's mother.

Buddy!

Meet your new assistant.

Assistant?

Hi, Vincent, it's a pleasure to meet you-

No, no, I don't need an assistant.

Oh, yeah. You do.

I got a company I gotta pretend to run.

No, sorry, I can't-— - Trust me, alright?

I already told Irene all about how you like to do things.

No cell phones, portable radios, webcams.

No life, no fun...

And I completely understand.

Me, I don't like crowds.

I... I'm not sure I'll have anything for you to do.

High-maintenance people always think that they're low maintenance.

You need this, partner.

VINCENT: It wasn't an assistant I needed

{it was human contact...

and Oliver must have known that..

You said in our initial session that your wife died of an aneurysm.

Yes. That was the first time I was discovered.

TAYLOR: Dad?

You know I'm not to be disturbed when I'm in this room.

Sorry, but Pepper wants out, and Mr Morraca isn't around.

Well... alright, take her out then. I'll watch you from here.

TAYLOR: OK.

Hi.

Hello.

TAYLOR: Come on, Pepper.

He looks like you.

Fortunately for him, he looks like the host who provided the chromosomes.

Not me.

David Mailer?

Yeah.

I'm your lawyer. - I don't have a lawyer.

Philip Pearson said you might want my help.

I don't know Philip Pearson. - Friend of Marcy?

Marcy? Oh, my God, yes. Is she OK?

Are you...

what are you, like a... FBI lawyer?

Wow. No. No.

Jeez, uh, he said she said you were special

but I didn't realise you were "special".

HE SIGHS: Well, this...

Sorry, this is...

I... I'm not good at this. This is so not my thing.

Well, David, fortunately this is my thing

and I am very good at this.

So... we're probably looking at 10 years tops

nine with good behaviour.

What?

Nah, just fuckin' with you.

Why would you... Oh, my God.

This isn't how actual law-enforcement officers behave, MacLaren.

There's giant chunks of time missing from your logs.

It's a miracle we didn't catch on to you people sooner.

"You people", what does that mean?

Agent Forbes says, compared to just a few months ago

you are like a different person- - Jesus!

Take my blood, take my fingerprints

take whatever you need- - Who now spends

half his time with a high-school senior

his counsellor, a single mum

a heroin addict, a farmer, and... this one kills me...

a mentally-challenged woman in the care of the state.

Philip Pearson is my CI on a hacking case.

We suspected the device had something to do with hijacking internet-

Let's skip over the part where you pretend

there's a legit scenario

where those people, in a fucking barn

with whatever that device is

makes any sense whatsoever.

Whoever you are

and whoever you work for

we're on to you now.

I'm a single mum.

There's a lot of folks like me.

This is gonna sound weird, and possibly insane

but I'm just gonna go ahead and say it.

I have a turtle at home, and I had to leave in a hurry

and there was a lot of broken glass-

You think this is funny?

No.

that's all I am.

No, he needs to be with his mother!

God, how long are you going to keep me here?

He went down pretty hard. - Marcy?

It's probably just a concussion.

He'll live. OK, let's go, let's go, let's go.

That looked like it hurt.

Well, they didn't try to kill anyone, so you owe me a buck.

Dr Kravitz, you have a visitor in the main lobby.

Mr and Mrs Holden?

Is Trevor OK?

He's out of surgery, and we've stopped the bleeding.

What the hell happened?

All I can tell you is that your son was involved in a shooting

and that the bullet we removed in order to save his life

was lodged dangerously close to his spinal cord.

There's still a great deal of inflammation.

Can we see him?

DR MORI SIGHS Tomorrow at the earliest.

So he's gonna be OK?

I'm confident Trevor will survive this.

He's very strong.

But you should know there's a possibility

he may not regain the use of his legs.

DR PERROW: How old was Taylor when his mother died?

A baby.

I'd spent the latter half of my life before this one

being eaten away by a disease that doesn't exist yet.

I never imagined the possibility of family.

A loving wife.

A child.

Irene was convinced that I'd be angry when she told me about the baby

afraid I'd think she'd trapped me.

But how could she know that

that in the future I'd left behind, life was so precious...

And new life, so rare

most precious of all.

it was possible to send messages directly to the 21st through a host

but we projected a 40% chance

that an adult mind might not be able to withstand the shock of transfer.

That's the whole reason I volunteered to go first!

No one would have to die that wasn't going to die-

OK, let's just stop-

Artificial Intelligence isn't supposed to be capable

of taking a life that isn't about to end.

The Director shouldn't have risked it, don't you understand?

No!

Not one part of what you just said.

I apologise.

Vincent, I can't help you

if I don't understand what you're saying.

Of course.

I just want to say

whatever happens from this point...

be proud of what you accomplished.

I still think, in the grand scheme of things

we did good.

I know we did.

And I still have faith

the Director will find a way.

I believe that with all my heart.

Just...

maybe not with us.

No, I'd rather you stay a little longer.

Vincent, these delusions... - Memories.

Are a very complex product of severe paranoia.

I can't... - I told you they've found me twice.

They? - The Director.

Alright. SHE CLEARS HER THROAT

Tell me about the second time.

It was a year later.

The company had become quite successful...

You're not gonna believe how well that meeting went.

Meeting?

Yeah, with the venture capital company, I told you.

I told you it was a bad idea.

They made an offer.

Now, I didn't commit because... - No...

because they want your software, too

but- - No.

Eighty-seven million dollars!

Say "no" again, I dare you.

Oliver, I told you from the beginning.

OLIVER: I thought we were supposed to be partners!

This is my software.

I've told you, if we affect the market in any tangible way it just doesn't work.

Yeah, OK, one, why is that?

And... And two, who cares?

If we can sell the company for 87 million?

I'm not taking "no" for an answer.

You're gonna hear them out. - Oliver, wait. Wait!

HE SIGHS

There is no predictive software.

It doesn't exist, it never has.

All the computers out there, the software

it's just for show, it's a front.

Then... how have you... - I'm doing it.

No one could have guessed large market trends

that accurately and that often.

That's true, I'm not guessing. I'm remembering.

What the hell is that supposed to mean?

It means you can't sell the company, Oliver, I'm sorry.

You can't use that in here- - Yeah, I'm breaking the rules

because you're out of your fucking mind!

If I had stayed silent, he might have lived

but the FCC was investigating the company

and they had tapped his phone.

Voice recognition and GPS allowed them to find me

the moment I spoke...

Oliver, please, I told you.

Stop, please, I told you, it's dangerous.

I said, stop!

I'm not helping.

Of course you are.

Oh. - Thank you.

You're welcome.

It's going to quadruple my recovery time

but I suppose you're worth it.

So there's no sweet nanotech for me again?

You've lived longer than any human in history, and you're complaining?

I'm starting to take it personally.

Do you really think it's ethical to plant a bomb

and then take over the people who would have died

when that bomb went off?

How is that not circular reasoning?

No way the Director would allow that level of technology in the 21st.

The Director was the one who had it ordered built

in the first place- - Hey...

a wise man once told me, take the win.

Hey.

They wouldn't tell me much

but I got a quick look at the monitors

at the nursing station, and...

they're both gonna recover.

Well, I'll take that win, too.

Come on, everybody, I'll drop you home.

I think I'm gonna stay.

He would.

I've decided I'm not gonna kill you.

Oh. HE CLEARS THROAT

Good.

I was gonna ask.

I mean, there must have been some kind of power struggle

back and forth when all that was going down.

Who knows where the order came from, right?

Well, at least it's settled now.

Still...

it must have been hard for you.

Thanks for the lift.

David...

It's the middle of the night.

It won't come out.

I mean, you'd think...

they'd properly clean up something like this, you know?

All those people here, every one of them capable of holding a mop.

But nah, they're just gonna leave a...

a giant blood stain and a...

a business card with the number of a cleaning service.

I'm surprised they took away the dead body.

I'm sorry that you had to go through that.

Yeah, not just no ID

no record at all.

But you probably already knew that.

Ray's a heck of a nice guy.

Here, let me help- - Nah, I got it. I'm trying, uh...

I'm trying baking soda.

You know, the good news is

apparently, the Indian lady that lives next door

whose name I never knew

told an Officer Boyd

whose name I do remember for some reason

that the person that came into her apartment

was a stocky bald man with a thick Canadian accent.

Those Canadians, man...

you gotta watch out.

But I'm sure you knew all about that, too.

David, here...

Stop, stop- - Now all I have to do

is make myself available

for future questioning whatever that means.

That's good. - Oh, it's wonderful.

Can I do anything?

Can I make you some tea?

Um...

You know, I've had about 57 cups

so I'm... I'm a little wired.
