Original subtitles

- Go erase it. - What?

- Erase what you wrote. - Nah, I'm not doing it.

Why are you messing with him?

Don't make me curse you, Gerasim.

Screw you.

Gerasim, it's me, Kolya Gerasimov, and right now

I'm sticking to my principles, refusing to erase from the board

A farewell message addressed to Nastya Altukhina, the girl I spent a week

thinking was the love of my life, who, in the end,

betrayed my feelings.

But right now, nothing's more important to me.

Although in the scale of school, our drama with Altukhina is not a big deal,

and even less so in the scale of the city, or let's say, the solar system.

Anyone here heard of Altukhina?

Honestly, in the near future, there's going to be

so much going on that I'll barely care about her.

Like what?

Well, like, aliens might land.

Central. Arrived at address KKL95

Yellow dwarf, 1.4 density, 8 planets and 2 gas giants.

Just like in the order. For some reason, no one's responding.

I'm pinging your location, A234BB.

You're in an uninhabited sector. Fifth fine for you.

What do you mean a fine? Maybe you should leave clearer comments on the order?

Wait, are you eating?

No, I'm not.

By the way, did you know your average rating is three dark stars? You're fired, A234BB.

You're firing me? I'm firing myself. Let the karma guys deliver your snacks.

Fix it! Careful, sniper, left side! What?

On control! On control! Squat!

Didn't get it.

Who's on the other end of the line?

Flash drive in, hurry up! Okay, give me a high five!

That's my buddy Fima. He'll be the first to make contact with the aliens.

Can't say it's a huge achievement, but they didn't choose.

I don't get what you're saying!

Stop ruining our game, guys! You're not even trying to leave!

Guys, hold up!

A234BB, express courier in the protocol. Block planet.

Copy that! Anyway, you got it, in 2024 the new era will begin when we...

Basically, when we join the Star Federation.

And it'll be such a thing that even those who followed our offline relationship

and liked my posts won't care anymore.

There'll be all kinds of movements in astrophysics,

engineering, new organ-growing tech...

Next up, spine replacement.

Plus, opening Earth to space tourists.

Transfer to galaxy M85 in the Virgo cluster sent.

Transfer will happen in two Earth seconds.

Yeah, that's cool, but you're so sensitive. I thought maybe I could

pick you up, and we could sit somewhere scenic.

You can visit a scenic place by signing up

for a travel loan to Krasnodar resorts.

Can we hurry up? People are waiting.

Sorry, just for you, smooth green cube.

Do you see anything about me and Altukhina? Yeah, still nothing.

And there won't be, because in 2110, armed conflicts will start.

As usual, someone shoots at someone on the Star Federation's border,

and then it's on. And you guys wonder, who are we fighting? I'll explain.

It's the pirate alliances. Their leader's name is Glot.

The universe will be mine.

A nasty dude with psychic abilities.

But the worst part is that he can time travel.

For example, there's a battle for some planet.

The pirates lose, and Glot goes back in time to

leave them a message with the enemy's whole tactical plan.

Then he comes back, and the future's already changed,

because the pirates knew the whole plan in advance.

Complicated, but we'll get back to this later.

The main thing you need to know now is that it'll be tough for us.

And it'll keep going like this until we send a special ops unit

straight to the heart of the pirate lair.

This is Kira Selezneva.

Death to the deserters! She's our top dog.

That's why she'll get to Glot and even sacrifice herself to destroy him.

And basically, the pirates will face...

game over.

Why am I telling you all this?

Because of her.

Kira Selezneva will have a daughter.

Alyssa.

She'll study at my school.

In my class.

And maybe sit at the same desk I did.

Just a hundred years from now. And despite...

the fact that Pluto's physical characteristics don't qualify it as a planet...

the active Plutonians fought for a long time to have this

trans-Neptunian object properly recognized.

I won't repeat it, Milashin.

Recognized and entered into the register of full-fledged planets.

The need to grant planet status

is primarily due to economic... Sorry, but no.

No, not because it's gas.

What's that got to do with it... - Alyssa!

What are you doing, can you say?

Honestly, I'm waiting for the class to end.

And we're here discussing the industry economic geography of Pluto.

Don't you find this subject interesting? Very interesting.

If I ever find myself on Pluto's southern plains at night...

and can't figure out where there are ice deposits rich in tellurium,

needed to power mobile solarators...

then yeah, I'll definitely regret my behavior.

Hey, Alyssa. Hey.

Hey.

Verter, hey. Got a minute? Hey, Alyssa.

Sorry, but I'm busy.

Your dad and I agreed that I'd finish regenerating the RNA of Krealo Phazavr.

Oh, alright.

You're not getting paid to play with me.

Is that what I think it is?

I won't distract you. Good luck with the crealo-whatever.

Alyssa, she thinks I'll fall for this. I won't.

So, you were strolling around the Cosmovet grounds, clueless,

when suddenly, the most dangerous pirate appeared?

Got it. Make it three.

Three dangerous pirates.

Ready?

Think. Think, Alyssa.

Retreat. Wise choice.

Impressive, but not effective.

Bingo. I love it.

I don't want to give hints, but...

From behind...

Your spine was sneakily shot through by a pirate's Yadogan.

A terrible, ridiculous death. Verter, one more time, please.

Then from this moment.

My girl, I didn't want to interrupt, but...

Alyssa!

Can you hear me? Alyssa!

Alyssa!

Does it hurt?

We're about to have a very serious conversation.

You also got out, of course. Who approaches like that?

I just spoke with your homeroom teacher.

I can't pretend I'm interested in it. Sorry.

Alyssa, what is this...

What is this?

That's what I was about to say.

They sent this from the cadet school for preparation.

Where did they send it from? Lie down, lie down.

Kira Selezneva Cadet School.

I passed the test, they're ready to consider me.

When were you planning to ask me? You wouldn't like it.

I don't like it now! I don't like it, Alyssa!

Okay, calm down, everyone.

Calm down. Calm down. Put it away.

Alyssa.

I love you, you know that. I'm talking to you.

I know you miss your mom.

I miss her too, believe me.

I'm not just missing her, I'm going to get her out.

Look.

The pirates used time as a weapon.

And they never found my mom after the flagship was stormed.

What if, when she attacked Glot, the time continuum broke?

And now mom is stuck in the past.

Maybe the pirates are keeping her there.

Alyssa, if that were the case...

She would've figured out how to send us a message.

She would've left a note. Right? Yeah, let's go.

I'm actually talking to you. Follow me. Coming.

Here, look.

This heart, I've been drawing it since childhood.

Let me finish!

Verter and I did an isotope analysis.

This drawing is a hundred years old.

A hundred years, you get it? Yeah. How did it get here?

Why here, if it's not a message from mom?

She's letting us know that she's back there, a hundred years ago.

I'll go to the cadet school, figure out how to travel to the past, and pull her out.

Alyssa, this heart has been here as long as I can remember.

That's what I've been telling you, aren't you listening?

And you draw it because you've been seeing it since childhood.

Yeah, but if the past changes, our time can change too.

What if our memories were replaced by what mom did a hundred years ago?

You can explain anything like that.

Sorry, Snake, but the hardest questions usually have very simple answers.

You're getting all emotional.

Are you messing with me?

Whale songs really help with relaxation.

Your hormone levels say you're getting close to depression.

Want some help?

I need data on matches with mom's appearance on

all sensors and devices from a century ago. Hmm, again.

I must remind you we've already done similar analyses many times.

If mom's in the past, then theoretically, she could've

changed something, which would lead to changes in the present.

And then something new might show up in the database.

No new match found. Sorry.

Then we'll look among these.

What do we know about her?

Margareta Stepanovna Utkin, worked in 2014

as a physics teacher at school number 7-3-3.

Margareta Stepanovna is my physics teacher.

You'll understand soon enough.

In the meantime, she's rushing down the hallway, what do you think she's doing?

Right, stopping the bloodshed.

It's the same old story here, no alien contact yet

I'm still getting hit, and I'm not giving up.

Guys, what's going on? Hey. Guys, stop, enough! What?

Do something!

I said, erase it! Or I'll wipe it with your face!

Kolya, just wipe it!

Run, fools!

What's going on here?

Everything's fine, Margareta Stepanovna.

Enough! Both of you!

Give it to me!

Kolya.

Kolya.

Kid, I'm worried about you.

I get it, you like Nastya, she's beautiful, impressive.

Let me handle it myself, alright?

- You'll handle it. - Yeah. You've already handled it.

Here's the deal, they gave us one last chance. Wow.

Sorry, but I'm taking extreme measures.

This is for your own good. Uh-huh.

I don't know what to do with you.

Kolya, if this keeps up, who are you going to grow up to be?

I'm gonna grow up to be someone else, for sure.

Alright, I'm already late, and we agreed that you'll clean up this mess yourself.

You'll scrub this whole class clean.

Easy, no problem. I've got a shift with no stress.

Good shift, mom. Yeah, that's it.

Go ahead.

Go home, why sit around?

I'm here because of guilt.

It's eating me up inside. There's a second rag here.

No, that'd be unfair. I wasn't part of the conflict.

Uh-huh.

You know, Kolya, I get the deep reasons behind your actions, but looking at your

tactics, I gotta say, they're pretty ineffective.

Well, go ahead. You haven't buried me yet today.

It's just, what's the point

in competing with Viktor in real life?

If you thought a little deeper, you could've come to me,

thrown a call in the chat, gathered the guys, and wrecked

him in Counter-Strike, grief him in Minecraft, spam reports in Fortnite.

He wouldn't go online for years then.

Now that's what I call effective.

Kolya, you gonna break the lock now?

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to do.

She probably has a stash, some acid or whatever to erase it off the board.

But this is a physics classroom, not chemistry.

And besides, they told me to check the class and lock up.

So just yell louder, Fima, so the teachers can hear it.

And then you can say you tried to stop me, but... - Kolya!

It didn't work.

So what works better, alcohol or some acetone or something?

If I tell you, I'll have to confess to assisting.

Good thing you stayed, Fima. A true friend is worth his weight in gold.

So...

Seen anything?

Yeah. You almost broke the water-filled lens.

No, no, no, no, no.

Some magnet.

What magnet? It's glass and plastic.

Funny.

Wait! You're not actually gonna?

We'll get expelled. Both of us.

You're right, Efim. I need your advice.

Let's say we found a gravitational anomaly leading to a hidden stash.

Am I right in understanding that you're suggesting we stop,

and spend our whole lives wondering what was there?

Oh, yeah.

You've got no natural tomorrow in you. Please, be careful.

Uh-huh.

Hey, what... Huh? What? Aaaaah!

What? What is it...

Have you seen yourself?

Are you stupid? What if they hear us? Why?

Wait.

Let's go, huh?

Heavy bastard.

What's this?

Some puck.

Kolya,

you've got something there.

Whoa. It even attracts blood.

Stop, stop, stop. Maybe...

Let's go. No, I mean...

- Fima! - Damn.

I'm going for the nurse!

Fima! Femicide!

Cosmeon is back.

In this system.

I like how that sounds.

You'll die fast.

Alyssa, get out.

Kolya, hurry.

Buddy! Buddy, sorry! Listen, can you get the nurse...

It hurts, it hurts!

Sorry, I didn't mean to.

Thanks. I... Something's wrong...

I don't feel good. Come on, I just pressed a bit.

No, my head's poisoned, probably, or my blood pressure.

Uh-huh. And the bio-sensor's not working because solar flares are blocking the orbital signal.

What? Go annoy the Lumarian girls with your poison.

Can you at least call an ambulance?

Call? Uh-huh.

Alright, I admit, that's funny.

Lukobuliar's on the line.

What's so funny? Call an ambulance. I just don't have a phone.

- Ambulance? No phone? - What a mess.

Are there any normal people around here? This is crazy.

What's this? Polyester? Synthetic? Cotton. Just regular.

Where are you from? From 11-B. Don't lie, I'm from 11-B.

Now, you?

I thought so.

What, am I the only one freaking out?

Kolya, listen.

I might be wrong, but...

Anyway, look around.

You probably think all this is hallucinations, but it's not.

This is reality.

It's the year 2124.

Ah.

Sounds believable.

Knock, knock.

Busy, huh?

I'll come back later.

Hope you hear me.

I'd wait for you to finish all your stuff here,

but sorry, no time. So I'll get straight to the point.

Let's just say we had some relatively democratic elections.

And as a result, I was elected.

Well... captain of the pirate

Alliance.

Or what's left of it.

Well, as you can guess, there's a little catch.

I can't take the captain's position while the previous captain is still alive.

He has to be dead.

So, if there's anything to say before he dies...

A final wish, advice...

I'll pass it word for word to the crew.

Well?

You're not gonna say anything at all?

Alright, then I'll say it.

I've always had a lot of respect for you.

And when we conquer this system, and we will conquer it for sure...

I'll arrange a monument for you. Or print it on coins.

I don't know.

Without Cosmeon, you won't be able to conquer even the most underdeveloped planet.

He's talking.

Yeah, without Cosmeon, it'll be, to say the least, tough.

But Cosmeon's not here.

Want me to remind you who lost him?

It feels gravitational waves.

Cosmeon's back.

In this system.

It'll help us find him.

I have a lot of respect, so to speak,

for all those kinds of religions, you know.

But I'd like some guarantees.

When we find Cosmeon, it'll put the universe at our feet.

At our feet.

I love how that sounds.

Let it, whatever it is, put the universe at my feet.

We'll find you some position. I don't know.

Assistant.

Deputy.

But Cosmeon's mine.

Yeah, no. Another one.

Well, it's just that you're not always clear.

If you're ready, I need a word.

No, it's not that I don't trust you.

But yeah, I don't trust you.

Well, I don't want you poking around in my head.

Well.

We're one team and we'll never harm each other until death.

Death.

Death.

We're one team and we'll never harm each other until death.

The word of a noble pirate.

The word of a noble pirate.

Just checking, sorry. It works.

Hug it out? We won't make it.

I missed you.

Cool. Yeah, super exciting.

Hey, back off!

Alyssa, I finished the checkup. Red blood cells and hemoglobin are fine,

a little high cortisol, but that's normal given the circumstances.

What's this?

A politically correct pronoun. Who? But considering your age, it's excusable.

Verter, sorry, but could you leave? Well, if it's not too much trouble.

Of course. I've just done my job, and no one else

needs my services. Have a good day.

We love you so much. Hungry?

Where am I? At my place.

You passed out, and I brought you here. Yeah.

My dad's a doctor, so you're really lucky. He'll be here soon.

Eat, it's not poisoned.

One more time. I might have just been wrong. Did I get it right? The future, yeah?

The twenty-fourth year.

Two thousand one hundred twenty-four.

Let's go. Where?

The neuron cell cleaning of the came uses is delayed until the interplanetary quarantine is over.

Let's go.

Moscow?

Moscow. Second of October. Uh-huh.

Then why are there so many green trees?

Ah, right, global warming.

What's so funny about that?

We control temperature changes to

maintain the ecosystem's stability and support photosynthesis.

Okay, okay. And where are the flying cars, like?

Well, they exist. But they're used when necessary. It's energy-inefficient.

So we use magnetic levitation transport. Mostly.

Hmm. Like, for the environment.

Fighting for it, huh? - Uh-huh. Do you eat meat?

It's not meat, obviously. But the taste is the same, yeah.

If you have any more questions, ask.

You know, there is one small one. How the hell did I end up here?

That's exactly what I wanted to ask you in detail.

Verter, hey. Good day. Hello.

Is Alyssa home? What's up with the RNA?

The RNA is decoding. 73% left.

Alyssa's home. And I don't want to sound like a panic-er, but she brought a guy from school.

What guy? A young man.

A dialectic question. According to my data, he's 117 years old.

Do you think it's worth reporting to the police?

Hey, dad. Come in.

Thanks. Hello.

Hello. Want a hug?

Nice to meet you. Igor. Alyssa's dad. So. So, so, so.

Let me remind you, check with your developers, if it's possible to reflash you? Nice to meet you.

Kolya.

You study together, huh? Yeah. In the same class.

Don't recall that. Alright, I won't distract you. Talk.

In the same class, in the same school. It's just I saw him for the first time today.

That happens. But I don't get it.

What's this? Oh, it's simple. Kolya, show him.

Yeah, sure.

What, is this a hospital here? - Cosmovet.

Veterinary clinic. One of the branches of the Star Federation.

You bring some alien creatures here?

Sometimes. But mostly, we restore Earth animals by their DNA

and send them to planets most suitable for their habitat.

Let's hurry up. Where are we even running?

I need to quickly take an altropunction from him.

The procedure is completely painless. If you feel discomfort, let me know, we'll stop.

Nah, I'm pretty chill with this stuff. I don't faint at the sight of blood.

There won't be any blood. Allergic reactions?

Gluten. But everyone has that, right? Uh-huh.

Okay.

Everything's normal. We can start.

Let me know when. Already.

Verter.

There's a clump of exotic matter with variable gravity in the body.

Cosmeon?

What's that?

Is this dangerous?

Take out the needle.

How did you get it?

Where?

What about Kira?

Can we get some straps? Remember, you said if there's discomfort, well, this is discomfort.

Cosmeon must be with Kira.

Let it be. I have no idea who Kira is.

I just, well, found this thing in the storeroom.

The physics teacher left me after class.

What physics teacher? Utkin Margareta Stepanovna.

How do you know her?

What's wrong with her?

The physics teacher? She's fine. Got Teacher of the Year.

Do we have a “Teacher of the Year” in shop class too? Are we talking about him now?

Definitely. But first, let's hear from you, dad.

Hey, Igor.

I'm writing this letter because it's my only hope to explain myself.

Maybe I should wait somewhere?

Our squad was given the mission to infiltrate the pirate flagship and take

Cosmeon, a clump of exotic matter with variable gravity.

It allows travel strictly 100 years back and forth.

I managed to neutralize Glot and extract Cosmeon,

but the only way to hide it was in the past.

That's how I ended up in 2014.

I changed my name and laid low. Every time I look at this artifact,

I think I could use it to see you and Alyssa again.

But it's too dangerous. I don't expect you to ever

understand me, but I know you'll accept my choice.

This is my duty.

To you, Alyssa, I hug you every day before bed.

Hug for both of us.

The only thing that comforts me is your beautiful future.

Love you both, your Kira.

On the back.

My Alicia. Hey, my little snake.

How many more poor little knees have you added since we last saw each other?

If this keeps up, you'll have to bathe in green dye.

Still beating your dad at hide and seek?

Hope he still hasn't figured out your secret spot.

I'm sure you won't spill your secret, even if he

tries to torture you with his plate of carrot patties.

Though I'd spill everything if he tried to feed me again.

I also play hide and seek.

One day you'll realize that the world isn't just good.

There are far more people whose thoughts are darker than a black planet in the Dragon constellation.

But I've hidden myself well, sweetheart.

They'll never be able to beat me.

Alyssa, the thing I regret the most is not being able to see you grow up.

But you're a strong girl.

You can handle anything.

And I know, no matter how hard it gets for you, you'll never give up.

You're as stubborn as I am.

Know that there isn't a day I don't think about you.

Can you do something for me?

Please take care of dad.

We both know he can't do anything without you. Love you.

Forever.

I'll always be proud of you. Snake.

Yeah...

The situation, well, it's like that.

But...

This is good news, right?

Well, first of all, your mom's alive.

And secondly, I can use this Cosmeon to move back and get her.

I know you're sad right now. You're upset.

Your dad's been lying to you your whole life.

That's not easy. But no hard feelings.

You probably had your reasons too. Not to give false hope.

You know, all that. Anyway. What's my point?

My point is, now's the time to make it right.

And it's time to take action. Right? Alyssa.

Alyssa.

Alyssa!

Igor! Igor! Sorry, I don't know your last name.

Kolya, wait. Wait in the lab. But she won't listen to you.

I get it, everyone's on edge.

But you'll only make it worse if you push her now.

And there's a good solution.

You stay here, and I'll just talk to her.

Smart, understanding the situation. You!

We won't go anywhere.

She'll calm down, and I'll bring her back.

Got a better idea? You don't have a better idea.

Because this is a good idea from the start. Deal?

Thanks. Yeah, no problem, professor.

Yeah, everyone's on edge. If you want to talk to someone,

I'm always here. Take him out. Alright.

On edge.

Professor! He's busy, professor. It's urgent, look.

What's this?

I didn't know they still deliver these.

What a bunch of nonsense.

Open exactly at 10:00 PM.

This is just low, in the end.

He thinks he can decide for me what I should know and what I shouldn't.

But did he even ask me? He didn't even show me the letter.

And he knew this whole time.

He knew mom was there and did nothing.

And when I came, when I came and told him, he just lied to me...

to my face.

Nikolai, follow me exactly, step by step. Or what?

Is some alien gonna eat me... What do you have there?

A crocodile? That's all that comes to mind for some reason.

Cosmovet is completely safe.

But it's open for public visits.

And there's a 0.750 quadrillionth percent chance

you'll meet yourself, still alive after all these years.

Then what happens?

Continuum failure.

Dissolution of both entities due to temporal interference.

So, it's painful? In a way, it's worse than death.

Either you stop existing, or maybe you never did.

Let's talk about something positive, huh? Agreed.

Cosmovet spans 76 hectares and includes

three separate climate zones.

The first, largest one, is a tropical zone

that combines regions like...

Good evening, young gentleman.

What are you doing to me?

Not me. It's him.

Ah, so this is the situation, huh?

Yeah, this is the situation.

So, Nikolai, not that I'm in a rush, but... Are those pirates?

Yeah, those are pirates.

Never liked robots.

Attention! Invasion of Cosmovet.

Unauthorized personnel in sector 32C.

Attention! Invasion of Cosmovet.

Unauthorized personnel in sector 32C.

Attention! Invasion of Cosmovet.

Unauthorized personnel in sector 32C.

Attention! Invasion of Cosmovet.

Unauthorized personnel in sector 32C.

How long do we wait?

I get it, this is our... slow-paced way of doing things, but still...

It lets us take the Cosmeon.

I'll take the Cosmeon.

You're strong.

Out of respect for it choosing you, you'll die quickly.

Interesting offer.

But, maybe there's another way... - We won't be able to take the Cosmeon.

Not while you're alive.

And waiting for you to die a natural death, unfortunately, we can't do that.

Sorry, Kudryavy.

Attention! Invasion of Cosmovet. Unauthorized personnel in sector 32C.

Verton, I need you! Hurry up!

Finally! No! Dad!

Who are you?

Alyssa!

Oh, look at that!

Thank you!

Stop.

The space fleet will be here in a minute! Surrender! Please!

I guarantee you a fair trial!

It's under control, professor! Quiet, quiet, quiet!

Yes, it's not loaded!

Kolya, no! It's not me! It's not!

Run!

Where are you all running off to, little ones, huh?

Just bought it! I'm sorry! Hey, come here!

What's going on? Looking for Cosmeon!

I can see everything!

Better stay inside!

Lenya! Lenya, don't you dare!

Mom, quiet!

Alyssa, Kolya, go. I'll hold them off.

Surprise!

I'm so tired of you!

Surprise!

All lies.

Alyssa, come here.

Are you sure this thing actually works, huh?

Not really eager to get involved in the search, huh?

It brought us to Cosmeon.

Right.

The rest was up to you.

Me?

Well, this doesn't seem very partner-like, does it?

Let's do this. Yeah?

You're now in contact with this whole thing,

And it shows us where that curly guy is running, right?

Come on, come on, do it! You can do it, go ahead!

Huh?

So, everyone for themselves.

Next station, Chertanovskaya.

For your safety, hold onto the handrails...

Alyssa, don't you think we should discuss this?

Discuss what? I mean, that I didn't shoot? I would never...

Glot can suppress the will of biological beings. I'll fix it.

Glot? Is that the one your mom wrote about? The one who's not the boss?

Didn't you beat him?

Ah, got it. So, he survived.

And what about the second guy with the swords? U.

What's U? - The Hangman U. Glot's right-hand man.

Wanted across the Milky Way and thirteen mini-galaxies.

We need to find mom, contact her right now.

How? We don't have her address or phone number.

But we do know exactly where she'll be tomorrow morning.

So I suggest we breathe for now, and tomorrow, with fresh energy...

In short, we'll fix everything.

We'll save your parents, the Milky Way, and thirteen galaxies. Everyone.

You live here? Yeah, but we're not going to my place.

Where have you been? I ran to get the nurse, we were looking for you, and now you've disappeared...

Didn't call the police, didn't tell the teacher. Went off to play, huh?

I recognize my buddy Fima. What?

Well, not now. Anyway, there's something.

So, this is Alyssa, and she needs somewhere to sleep tonight.

Hi.

I'd let her stay at my place.

Well, my mom would freak out. And you said your parents were at the dacha.

She's quiet, and I'll pick her up in the morning.

Well, hey.

Hey, Fima. Fima, are you even listening? Yeah.

Oh, yeah, I... I'm just... probably won't be allowed to keep a girl overnight.

Well, we can go in for tea... Come on, Fima, what tea?

Any, you can pick.

Okay, this might sound weird, but remember that gravitational thing at school?

That was Cosmeon.

Because of it, I can now tear apart the time continuum

and jump a hundred years into the future and back.

It's not at all how we imagined it. No flying cars and...

Never mind. We have a problem now.

We're being hunted by space pirates with knives and mind powers.

And they want to kill me and steal Cosmeon.

And me and Alyssa need to beat them to find

her mom, who's stuck here in the past,

and has been hiding all this time under the guise of our physics teacher.

So, she's a guest from the future.

What's this?

Alyssa, show him.

Holy crap. Yeah, dude.

This is insane.

But my parents didn't go to the dacha. What?

By the way, I actually wanted to ask you about that.

There's a big tournament tomorrow, and I just can't miss it.

What tournament? The Open Cup tomorrow.

The fate of the planet, the Milky Way, and thirteen... Thirteen?

Thirteen. Thirteen galaxies.

Quiet, quiet, I don't understand.

Our entire present and future. Fima, are you even listening?

Listen, what can I do? I thought they left.

They didn't leave. Give me the keys to your apartment.

I'll play the game fast tomorrow and leave once.

I'll leave them under the doormat. Alyssa, let's go.

Thanks. By the way, Koly, your mom called.

Well, I told her I didn't know where you went.

I knew I could count on you, buddy. Thanks again, man.

Bye. Bye.

Are you out of your mind? I get home, and you're nowhere.

It's eleven o'clock, and you're not answering.

Well, you took my phone.

Alyssa, come in.

Mom, this is Alyssa.

Alyssa, this is my mom, Victoria Sergeyevna.

Hello, Victoria Sergeyevna.

She's in a tricky situation, her parents went far away.

And she lost her keys.

We've been looking for them all evening, but didn't find them.

So, can she stay over with us?

You, Alyssa, go to the living room for now.

I'll make tea. You're the best.

Come here. What's going on? Doesn't she have any friends?

She's from out of town. And her family just moved here.

Got it. Make the tea.

She hasn't had time to make friends at school yet, just with me, really.

We can put her on a train to her aunt in Nizhny,

but we haven't been able to reach her yet, so...

Kolya, I get it, things are complicated for you right now. With Katya...

With Nastya, apparently.

Yeah, with Nastya.

When you act impulsively you can hurt someone else. Sometimes even yourself.

What?

Revenge isn't the answer. Me and Alyssa are just friends.

Alright, alright. Do her parents know she's staying with us?

Yeah, of course.

It's not what you're thinking, by the way. Not at all.

What did I think? I don't know what you thought.

But if you thought something, it's wrong.

Anyway, I'll sleep in the living room, that's it. Kolya!

What? Tea. Yeah.

Can I get my phone back? Yeah. Thanks.

Well, yeah, it's quite a place. Oh, just a second.

Just don't touch the hammer, please.

You have a lot of hobbies. Kinda, yeah.

Do you play sports?

I used to. Played soccer a few years ago.

Then I kinda dropped it. Now I just play on my console.

E-sports? Yeah, but my internet isn't great.

And it's all about speed— Whoever has the fastest wins. So...

Do you read much? A lot.

But not for long. Ten minutes and I'm out cold.

Mom says I've got attention deficit syndrome.

Something like that. And most of the books are from Dad.

Where's your dad?

I don't know, honestly. Well, when he and mom divorced,

he used to visit once a month,

then he called once a month, and then he stopped calling altogether.

Guess I'm saying something wrong. I don't know. Got it.

Oh, I also write texts. Poems?

Rap. It's when, well, thoughts just come to my head. What do I do with them? I write them down or

remember them. Sometimes I freestyle, you know? That's when you make it up on the spot, like...

How's that?

You need a beat for this. A beat?

Wait.

What? Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. No.

Let's run away. What? Let's go. Let's run away.

What?

Forget gravity laws.

The future doesn't even exist. Don't be afraid of it.

Yo. Let's run away. Believe. Time is just an abstraction.

Our gravity is against it. It should be scared. Yo.

I'm sure even the wind won't stop us.

A hundred kilometers an hour. No sentimentality.

Nothing will stop me from showing myself

Just so your hair doesn't get wet. Your pink hair, all wet.

Not much else is coming right now.

I think it's cool.

Really?

Kolya, what are you doing? I'm getting my workout stuff.

Kolya. What?

Here's the sheet. – Thanks. The duvet cover. Don't confuse it.

Here's the pillowcase. – Thanks.

Can you handle it?

It doesn't make itself, you know.

Yeah.

We'll find her.

I'll help.

Good night, Alyssa. Good night.

- You're crazy. Hello? - I'm sorry... I'm not local.

I need to get to school 733.

To school, yeah? Yeah, I have a nephew there. At night?

Yeah.

Never done it at night before. Wait, I...

Hey!

That's just rude.

Sorry, I'm local. From this planet.

I need to get to school 733.

Well. Order through the app, and we'll go.

What if I don't use the app?

That works too. Yeah? Five thousand then. Alright.

Nice setup. It'll take twenty minutes. So, pay up front.

Different situations can happen. What kind of situations?

Got it. Let's go, let's go. Got it. Let's go.

What's so uncomfortable here?

Calm down.

Sorry. Open your eyes.

Sorry. Do you know how to make it go forward?

You'll be apologizing somewhere else.

Do you know who my husband is? Yeah, got it.

- Hello, Vasya, we've got a situation. - Alright, got it.

What do you mean? When can you make it?

- What's your meeting? - Come here.

What, you don't care that I've got this old man here?

Vasya, he's just leaving. Should I fight him?

Just a normal guy. He comes and handles it all.

Right!

Get away from him. I just... What don't you understand?

You don't stand a chance!

The driver miraculously survived.

There's a huge traffic jam now. Dozens of cars are damaged.

Doors are torn off, and there are dents in the bodies.

It sounds strange, but some of these damages were made with cold weapons.

According to eyewitnesses, a man armed with a knife,

or possibly a short sword, deliberately attacked the car.

We have footage from a mobile phone camera,

where you can see the perpetrator of this incident.

Here he is. You can see the man calmly walking on top of car roofs.

He is now being searched for by the police, and we continue to follow

the situation. Andrey Zlataryov, Nikolai Milashin. News.

Hey, are you out of your mind?

Semyonich, you know me, 11 years together, and you forget...

Uh, Gerasimov. That's my last name.

Uhh, what the hell is this?

Oh, that's Alisa. Now you know her too.

She's Margarita Stepanovna's daughter.

Wait, what's going on? Huh? What?

Who's that? My name's Alisa. We need to go.

What's going on? – No time to explain.

I'll be quick. Is something wrong? – No, all good.

Everything's just peachy. Well then, we're off.

Freeze!

And what are we staring at? – Nothing. What? What now?

Come on, say it!

Yesterday you were all emo, and today... Who even are you?

That's Alisa.

We don't have time for this. Sorry, Kolya, let's go.

Who are you telling to stay, Vitya?

What do you want from me? Listen, I'm ♪not♪ his girlfriend.

She's not my girlfriend. We just need to go.

Don't give me that. I see how you look at him.

What? I'm not even looking at him.

But ♪he's♪ looking at ♪you♪.

How is he looking? Yeah, what kinda look is that?

Oh come on, Vitya! Like ♪this♪! Intense.

No eye movement. Just locked in.

Was that supposed to be funny? No.

Sweetheart, you probably think you and Kolya have a future.

But nope. He's been into ♪me♪ since fifth grade.

I'm not into you. Yes, you are.

He's just shy, it happens. He'll come back around.

And you? You're just some side character

meant to get someone else's attention. Got it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Whose attention?

You're new here. Guess you missed the rules.

Let me break it down for you. Everything here's already claimed.

If you wanna finish school in one piece, learn to be so-cial.

Understand?

Margarita Stepanovna! Margarita Stepanovna!

Kolya, not now, okay?

No, no, this is serious. First of all, I need to apologize.

Yesterday, I snuck into your supply closet. What?

And I found your C-C-Cosmeon thing in there. Now it's inside me.

Yeah, I know who you are. No need to play secret agent.

But that's just the warm-up. I've got ♪way♪ crazier news.

So basically, thanks to Kosmeon, I jumped to— Yefim? Why are you at school?

Me?

You're not supposed to be here. You should be at Kolya's, playing the tournament.

Are you even listening to me, Margarita Stepanovna?

Yefim, why did you come to school?

Well, it's a school day... And Kolya said your daughter's from, like, the future or something.

By the way, Petrovna told me— – Yeah, yeah. What?

No, I'm ♪not♪ from the Parent-Teacher Committee!

And no, I don't have any indoor shoes!

Stay calm, no panic. Where you going, dumb-ass?

I'm not here to hurt anyone!

I just need one boy.

That one.

Me? – Not you. Him.

Well, look who it is...

You really ♪never♪ change.

Hmm...

Miss me, baby?

Every damn minute. Ohh! I'm about to cry!

Ahhh!

Exit's over there, please! Careful, I'm begging you!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Easy, easy, easy, easy! Keep moving, come on!

Don't forget your stuff! Exit's that way, okay?

Maybe we put the kids to bed and...

Yeah, I'm into that too.

Doesn't even hurt.

Damn. I thought Margarita Stepanovna was, like, 60.

Tired yet, baby?

I can wipe it off.

I love kids!

C'mon, I'll show you something... Ta-da!

Alisa, get out of here.

All this! Alisa, Margarita Stepanovna! That dude with the swords! It's...

All connected, right?

Close the door! No, Mom!

The vice principal's kid? Well that explains a lot.

No explanations! Can someone ♪ please♪ tell me what's going on?!

Margarita Stepanovna!

Desks, now! Fima, the desks! How'd you even get in here?

Pulled some strings, duh. Kolya's got Kosmeon in him!

You've gotta take us to the future!

Locked! Why is it locked?! Come on, open up, please!

Hand over the kid and no one gets hurt! Pirate's honor!

Glot said no one gets touched!

Oh, don't make me laugh! I'm the new captain now!

I give the orders around here!

Now ♪that's♪ actually funny.

You guys are boring!

I'm leaving already! I'm outta here!

Yefim! I don't even want your kid! Later!

Kidding! I was joking!

Sorry, but maybe we should call the cops?

No, let's just give him Kolya! He said no one gets hurt if we do!

Go ahead, Kolya, go with him! No one's giving anyone away!

Great! Guess we're all dying here, then! Kolya, come on!

I'm trying! I just don't know how this thing works! Okay?

Cosmeon links with your nervous system! Try raising your heart rate!

Focus on your somatic division! On my ♪what♪ division?

You need an emotional jolt!

What, and ♪this♪ isn't jolt enough for you?!

Get it together! Let me try! That's not helping!

Damn it, Pasha! Don't push him too far!

That's enough! Back off!

Maybe we just talk this out, yeah?

Where's Glot? Why are you ♪so♪ hung up on Glot?

I'm getting jealous here!

Oof, right in the face! Kolya, hurry up!

You really are dumb, huh?

Glot would never send you for the Cosmeon!

He'd never give it to you!

Untie me, please! I swear I'll be good!

Kolya, do it! I'm trying!

Too bad! I was gonna propose to you! Just listen, okay?!

Glot used you!

Kolya! Kolya, look at me!

He doesn't want Kolya!

Yefim's already here, so he won't pick up the signal!

What?!

Like, ♪right now♪?

Any time interference—♪any♪—can lead to stuff like ♪that♪!

You asking me out or what?

Would you say yes?

But if Alisa really means something to you—think about her future!

It's gonna be okay, trust me!

Keep your heart for now!

Alisa!

Mom!

Are you okay?

I'm fine, Mom, really!

Snake!

You've grown so much!

Guys!

You're seeing this too, right? Man, this is insane...!

I just jumped us to the future. Short version.

You... to the future?

Guys!

Holy crap!

It felt kinda nicer last time we were here...

Margarita Stepanovna! My name's Kira.

You said he doesn't need Kolya, that Yefim's here, so he won't get the signal.

Was that about ♪me♪? This is kinda hard to explain. Step away from the window.

No, but you ♪did♪ say Yefim won't get the signal. What signal? What does that even mean?

Yeah, I was wondering the same— Attention! Please present—!

Shhh!

Yeah, same here. Happy to see you too.

Werther! Hey Alisa, Nikolai. What's going on here, Werther?

Last hundred years? Nothing good, nothing good. Follow who?

Who are you?

Not my fault, sorry. I just remembered. Follow... follow...

Me, me...

Fim.

No way! Let's go!

Yeah, Fima!

Attention, please present your code. — This way?

It's the safest and... and... and... route.

Safe... I ♪think♪. I hope. No. Yes, yes! Exactly, exactly!

Okay, hold up!

Sorry, but I'm not going ♪anywhere ♪ until someone gives me a clear explanation.

Like, what the hell just happened, where are we going now,

and most importantly, what does any of this have to do with ♪me♪, and why Yefim?

Alright, but I'll be quick.

A hundred years ago, and three hours ahead, a delivery guy from the company forgot—forgot—forgot.

Uhh... express protocosi, courier protocosi,

accidentally rerouted a signal channel right to Kolya's apartment,

where, at that moment, there was supposed to be...

Yefim Korolyov — the guy who made first contact with the Star Federation.

Contact? ♪I♪ made first contact?

Wait, ♪him♪? You sure?

That's what the textbooks say. Only it never happened.

So just to be clear—I was supposed to be the legendary

dude who made the biggest discovery in human history,

but I'm ♪not♪ because...

Uhh... why didn't I just stay home and play?

It's a super tangled mess, but I'll try to explain.

A quick rewind—so, like, a hundred years ago,

Fima was supposed to make first contact during an eSports tournament.

Which would've tanked his leader board score,

but made him the most useful human on Earth. ♪But♪... at that moment,

just as he grabbed my key and opened the door...

he randomly decided he ♪had♪ to go to school.

He convinced himself he'd outgrown games,

and instantly adopted Mom's stance that computers ruin your eyesight...

and he's already got, like, -3 vision.

But ♪we♪ know the real story.

Lucky for us, Glot decided not to kill Fima,

and just took the path of least resistance.

Then, of course, he accepted the signal himself.

Nobody knows what exactly was said, but instead of a Starfleet fleet...

now we're getting a pirate alliance invading Earth.

The Solar System's great location makes it

perfect for setting up a heavily fortified outpost.

It's not like people are in chains or anything, but if you need stuff...

The only job left is servicing the great pirate fleet.

No factories, no shops, no parks. But hey—safety level?

Blazing. Basically, if you're big and dumb, you can bust your back on pirate assembly lines

and earn yourself a bowl of soup.

But not everyone's big... or dumb.

Fima! Fima!

W-we have arrived. W-w-welcome.

Wait here.

Hold on. There's no reason to be alarmed.

Yes, yes, absolutely none.

Great! Just great!

I ♪told♪ you to stay back. Alright. Three, two, two... one.

Hey.

I missed you so much. Seriously. I need to talk. I'm— – Freeze!

Okay. He really ♪does♪ want to talk!

Jump in his head and drop the war mode! I'm chill! Chill.

Super chill.

What did you do to Werther? Actually, I saved him.

It's just... pirate firmware was all I had.

Look, just lower your weapon.

You really think I waited here a hundred years just to kill you all now?

I... I... Chill, I...

This is lasagne. I made it myself. It's really good.

Take it easy.

Right here...

Lasagna.

I've got cookies, crackers, tea. Help yourselves.

There's sugar too, if anyone wants it.

Haven't talked to anyone in ages. What do you want?

Revenge.

What else would I want?

Glot betrayed me.

You were right.

I thought we were a team, but nope.

Yeah right, he's totally bluffing.

I'm telling the truth.

I'd love to get revenge myself. But he...

I physically ♪can't♪ hurt him.

Personally.

Why not?

We made a pact. Gave each other pirate word.

Here's the mark.

And no matter what, physically, we just can't kill each other.

Until the Cosmeon is in my hands.

It's... in a hand.

Oh, forgot to mention... I don't even ♪want♪ the Cosmeon!

I've had a lotta time to think—like, a hundred years.

And all I want now is freedom.

So go ahead... cut me down.

Or—we go find Glot ♪ together♪ and take him out.

And you get your planet back—the one we all used to love.

And me... I just want amnesty. That's it.

How do we pull it off?

Hands.

I've got a plan.

You smell nice.

One hundred years ago, and one hour forward...

Glot sliced it himself.

He'll get the signal. Right here, in Kolya's apartment.

Tasty? Very.

'Cause it's made with love.

So, we've got one hour

to get to the point where Nikolai triggers the time rift.

And we stop Glot in the past.

Why can't we just jump straight to our time right now?

Technically, I can—under certain conditions.

And from there we'll calmly get home.

Glot can track Cosmeon's gravity waves.

So you have to trigger the rift specifically in the apartment.

Not before.

Questions?

Suggestions? Objections? Yeah, no, maybe.

Attention! Oh my God! Please present your code. Relax!

If code is not presented... – Just sit tight.

I'll have to initiate residential liquidation protocol.

Nice, huh?

What day is it?

Attention! Tuesday. Please present your code. It's Tuesday.

Attention! Yes.

Every time I do this, I think of you.

Five, four, three, two...

Have a nice day. Thanks, sweetheart.

What?

They, uh—they were already here when I showed up.

Cool, huh?

All mine. Pick whichever.

Lot of talk about this place.

Sorry, all the nice stuff got confiscated.

But a hundred years ago... No, no, no, not that.

We need to keep it quiet.

Besides, it jams half the time anyway—fifty-fifty chance.

Excellent choice.

Not hungry?

Look, I don't usually plan that far ahead but...

I was thinking—if everything turns out fine, maybe we could...

You sure you don't want any? It's getting cold. Okay.

So yeah, if everything ends up great, maybe I could show you Moscow?

Not this one—the old one, I mean. Ours.

It can be really beautiful.

Especially in fall.

Are you asking me out? No, no.

I mean... yeah.

Do ♪you♪ want to?

So is that a yes or no?

Yes.

I'll take you to Burger Spot, and you take me to... Gorky Park.

Or we could catch a movie.

What if I've already seen it? Right, good point.

Well, we can still watch it again. It'll be like a retro experience for you.

If it's been a while, it'll still hit. I think.

Especially if it's a romcom. Not that I'm into those, but...

girls seem to like them. Just basic statistical observation.

Whatever.

Margarita Stepan... Kira Stepan... Wait, is she Stepanovna?

Kolya, get ready. We have to go. I'm going with you.

You're staying here. Watch over the others.

Wait—why? Can't they stay by themselves?

Not up for debate. I just found you.

It's dangerous. We'll have to go through a scanner.

But Kolya gets to go!

Without him, we can't break the continuum.

I don't care. Either we all go, or no one does.

You need someone to watch your back. Someone you trust.

And that's not me, huh? You can trust me.

Okay, I may not be super smart, and I didn't study in your fancy future...

Heck, I didn't even have great grades back in my time.

Kira—sorry—I don't know what proves what.

Point is, I know what it means to give your word.

And I promise you, your mom's coming back safe and sound.

Have I ever lied to you? Not once.

Why? 'Cause En's reliable.

And we'll get your dad back too. That's also kinda on me now.

Don't say that. It was Glot.

He did what?

What are you talking about? Uh...

He made Kolya shoot his dad.

But we'll kill Glot in the past. And then...

Everything will go back to normal.

He'll...

He'll come back when we win, right?

Cosmeon only jumps 100 years forward or back. That's it.

And we're in a continuous time stream.

So when we return to our future, it'll be one day ♪after♪ this moment.

I'm sorry. The professor isn't coming back.

Then let's make sure his death wasn't for nothing.

Sorry, Snake.

We're in a pirate's hideout. Retired pirate—but still...

Whoa—this place is packed with all kinds of loot.

What else do you wanna hear? What are you doing, Vitya?

Filming history. There's no internet here though.

I've got the latest iPhone.

Where are you off to? I've gotta help them.

C'mon, they'll be fine. Nobody even knows we're here.

Everyone's looking for us... a hundred years back.

You know, like—there. Wait, hang on.

Actually, why...

Ugh, I hate when people just start like that and never explain. And I'm left hanging.

So, Margarita Stepanovna said that

Glot can track continuum rips, right?

Well...

But when Kolya jumped us here, ♪that♪ was a rip too, right?

Seems like it.

And yet nobody showed up to attack us or vaporize us or anything.

Isn't that a little weird to you?

Seriously, think about it. What, is he stupid? Villains don't work like that.

Thanos wasn't stupid. Okay, maybe his logic was a stretch, but still...

Darth Vader, Voldemort—they all had solid villain plans. But this guy...

It just doesn't add up.

Unless it was all luck.

A trap.

Why even lure us into a trap

when we were all at school together?

He could've just ambushed us there

and grabbed Cosmeon if it was so urgent.

Maybe... someone from the group wasn't there yet.

The Jester wasn't with us.

Okay, take a seat, people. Sit down.

By the way, what's your patronymic?

Ludvigovna.

Let's stick with just Kira. Yeah, that's better.

So? Me and Alisa kinda have a date planned. You guys cool with that?

Just checking.

I mean, I wouldn't mind, Kolya, but...

No, I'll fix my physics grade if that's...

When this is all over, Alisa's going back to her time—and you'll go back to yours.

And you have to promise me you'll never use Cosmeon again.

What? Why not?

Humanity still doesn't fully understand how the continuum works.

We can't just spawn time copies whenever we feel like it.

Any interference—♪any♪—can lead to something like ♪that♪.

I know it's a big responsibility. But if Alisa

really matters to you, think about her future.

Yefim, come on, stop it. Please.

Quit it, you're being super annoying.

He didn't know where the Jester was. Couldn't track him.

Still doesn't explain why he didn't hit us back at school.

They made a pact, remember? Pirate mark.

And as long as the Jester's alive, Glot can't take Cosmeon from Kolya.

Let's go.

Yeah, if they all show up and the pirates kill the Jester,

the pact is void—and Glot won't owe anyone anything anymore.

That's when he can take Cosmeon back.

Now ♪that's♪ a real villain move.

Alisa, what about us? Stay quiet, don't go near the windows.

Just let her go. We're all going.

What, is this thing contagious? Come on, Margarita Stepanovna said it clearly.

You know what, Nastya? Let me tell you this.

Back in third grade, in gym class, I flushed a fem-bot

down the toilet. Kolyan—he fished it out.

I flushed it again. He got it out again. But that's not the point.

The point is—Kolyan would ♪ never♪ leave us hanging.

Same with Margarita Stepanovna—even if it turns out she's a pirate.

Vitya, she's not a pirate.

You're right, Yefim. She's our physics teacher. We owe her.

Where would we be without her?

Me? Total failure. Straight downhill.

Altukhina—maybe a hostess. Or flight attendant, if she's lucky.

Gerasimov—rapping garbage in subway tunnels.

Korolyov—okay, maybe he found a civilization. But then—bam!

Accident. Why risk it, huh?

Answer: There's. No. Point.

That's why we act now. Right here, right now.

People—with no past, no future.

We'll change the present—for the sake of the past we all share.

Which is kind of... the future too.

That's the plan, folks.

So ♪you're♪ the one who trashed my gym shoes?

This is a disaster. — We've got no time. Uno momento.

No need to thank me, Kolya.

I told you to stay put. It's a trap, Mom.

Glot's setting you up. That doesn't change anything.

We don't have another plan anyway.

Run!

This is our turf!

Nooooo!

That was a hell of a boom.

We're home. I can't see anything.

He saved me.

Risked everything for me.

Kolya. Nastya.

I was thinking maybe we... had a future. Nastya, come on.

Stay here, okay? Okay.

Femidze, you'll get the signal once we destroy Glot.

And you? I've gotta help Alisa.

What the heck is wrong with me?

Remember when you granted me amnesty?

Let's make out.

I'm married. Well... technically.

Legally, you're a widow. Heh-heh-heh.

Now miss me.

Vitals.

Yours, currently. They're... showing the vitals.

Nope.

Nothing showing.

Fly free, pirate heart.

Farewell, Captain.

Nice robe.

Where'd you get it?

I missed you.

So why didn't you call?

Don't fight it, U.

Death is the natural outcome of time.

In the end... it always wins.

Too soon.

Wait!

Stop, Vitya! Are you insane?! — That's not me.

Nastya! Vitya!

Vitya, let her go!

Margarita Stepanovna—got confused.

Kolya, careful.

Run!

Alisa! Alisa! Alisa! Alisa! Alisa.

Alisa.

Alisa. What are you doing?

Alisa.

Please fight it.

I can't...!

Yefim!

That's my girlfriend, jerk. We're, like, a couple!

I didn't mean to... Kolya, please, no.

E... ichn. Not flying. Please—no! No, no, no!

Alisa!

You promised. You ♪never♪ lie.

You promised!

It's okay. It's okay.

Mom's already there. You're done anyway.

She already killed you once.

A hundred years ago, I was already in this apartment.

And I saw a boy tear open the continuum.

You led her to slaughter.

But it's not your fault.

You really think you can control time?

Time always ends up controlling us.

Your mom's going to die.

How do I know that?

I remember it.

So what, you're saying it's all fate?

But how can you be so sure, if your memory depends on actions in the past

that are happening right now—in the present?

I mean, ♪my♪ present,

which is your past.

This isn't the present. It's the past.

The past-past. Relative to you. To Kira. To her mom.

It's basically the future.

Which means ♪you♪ right now don't know what she's gonna do.

Kinda wild to think about, huh?

You're wild. The thought—not so much.

I know she dies because ♪I♪ killed her.

But... Right now. If the past can't be changed...

then how'd you just get ♪ that♪ scar outta nowhere?

She stabbed me. Left a scar. But that's weird.

'Cause I swear it wasn't there a second ago.

Here's the deal: For me, this ♪is♪ the present.

So I can see things change as they happen.

But for you? Your memory updates ♪after the fact♪, got it?

No, that scar wasn't there. Definitely wasn't.

You had a clean, smooth neck. Okay, not smooth—but no scar.

The scar was there.

And then... I killed her.

Okay.

Let's check.

We're not really in a rush, right, Alisa?

Go ahead.

Kolya. It'll be fine, trust me.

Your mom's gonna take him down, no doubt.

Except I'm the one who's gonna take her down.

Wanna see?

Sorry.

So what? Continuum glitch, dumb-ass.

You can't meet yourself.

Kolya. Alisa.

It worked.

Yeah. Cosmeon needs a host.

That's very, veeeery bad!

Super bad! Terrible! We're doomed! Everything's doomed!

Yup! Nope! Different one!

Sorry, Alisa. I lied to you after all.

There's not gonna be a date.

Kolya!

Did I go?

Kolya!

Nastya, he's not waking up!

I don't know, I don't know what to do! Dima, the signal!

Crap, crap, yeah! Kolya, wake up! Kolya!

Kolya, come on, wake up!

He's back.

It's just reflex pupil movement.

Nope, his teeth are moving.

Kolya!

Baby!

Mom.

Hang on.

Yuri Vladimirovich!

Someone call a doctor, please!

Dude, you really pulled it off.

No clue how you took Glot down...

but man, that was top-tier stuff.

I think there was a paradox, that messed with the timeline.

Then exotic energy leaked through the continuum...

Okay, enough...

and Glot met his own duplicate. — Fim, come on...

Bottom line—we got the signal.

Kolya, we did it. Wait, “we”?

Yefim Korolev received the signal.

Just like in the textbooks.

So where's Cosmeon, Kolya? You still have it or what?

Yeah, seriously—do you?

No.

It's gone.

Damn, Gerasimov, you genius.

We could've used it to time-hop like it's our weekend house!

Maybe it's for the best.

At least the butterfly effect won't mess with our... Wait, what?

What now?

What about Alisa? Vitya!

What?

We mostly scavenged stew. And yeah, two cans per person is cool...

but when you share one arm between two people...

One sec...

I don't see it.

Dad!

A lot of you are probably wondering the same thing Alisa and Kira did...

How the heck is the professor still alive?

My mom always told me modesty is a virtue, but...

Yeah, it was me.

Remember how Werther saved me and Alisa? I thought...

"Hey, that's a great move," and saved it in my notes.

When I came to, I figured I'd remind the professor it's an option.

Naturally, I worded it super carefully—not to break the continuum.

Something like, “Right now, tell Werther to make a hologram.”

Surrender now and I guarantee you a fair trial.

Credit to him too—he caught on real fast.

And shout out to the postal service. Kidding. Honestly thought the message might not even make it.

To be real, I was gonna message someone else too.

Who am I kidding? I wanted to go back to the future.

Take her on that date, y'know? I promised.

But I didn't. Of course not.

Didn't wanna mess with the universe. Charles!

So beautiful!

Look at that!

Kolya, you coming?

Yeah, you guys go ahead—I'll catch up.

But here's what I figured out.

Just 'cause it's the future doesn't mean I can't shape it.

You just gotta stop slacking and actually ♪do♪ something—starting today.

Not just for tomorrow, or summer beach trips...

But even for a time that feels way, way far off.

Because even if ♪you're♪ not around in that bright, far-off future...

the people you love... they'll be there.
