[door opening]

hello

[door slams]

my god. Hello?

[gasp]

what am I doing here?

your research Dr. Tanning.

We know about your work

your last experiment.

and who exactly is we?

let's just say certain interested parties.

interested in what?

parallel universes...

And what happened to professor Jack Brenner?

Your last experiment...

We want to know how you did it

all the details... Everything.

[lab vapor]

- how about you jack? Your theory?

some ideas are just too controversial.

what happened to him?

am I being accused?

we know he vanished.

Disappeared into thin air.

But we don't know how... Or where to.

looks like you have some idea.

Jack drew the answer for you.

- Einstein-Rosen bridge...

But where?

I don't know.

- your office okay? Uncomfortable enough?

Small enough for the perfect scientist?

Got plenty of tin foil?

you know I could use another roll.

I'll make a note of that.

So listen, you got a few minutes?

yeah, why?

I want to talk to you about something.

about?

in my office.

Why can't we get past that singularity?

cosmic censorship.

what was it like before the big bang?

[mysterious music]

- any information that goes in... Anything, even light...

There's no way out.

not in this universe.

Perhaps another.

so you didn't give up on your theory...

That parallel universes do exist and they can be created?

there has to be a way.

a matter of science?

some science is better left as a belief.

years ago jack got close.

[Velcro being undone]

to what?

his notebook.

where did you get this?

from jack.

what?

- who do you think funded his research in the early days?

- there's no way. Jack would never work for...

he wanted the same thing you want...

That we all want.

Nah.

your paper was the missing piece in his research.

He had given up till he found you.

but I applied to work for him.

did you?

he sent me an email first...

To congratulate me on my dissertation.

Q.E.D.

the girl?

- it's a long time ago... Malibu.

An artist.

like my wife, Lyndi.

Well I certainly didn't know what he was thinking.

It's like jack was always happier somewhere else.

A different time, place...

On the beach I guess... With his girl.

she was the problem.

what happened?

they were young.

Jack was ambitious like you.

He lost her.

[door opening]

hey.

How's it coming?

it's as far as I can go.

- what's with the rope? She looks trapped?

thank you.

Come on.

I love you.

[laughing]

did you make...

your favorite.

well now I really love you.

[laughing]

[glasses clank]

[lab door opening]

♪♪

Hey, so how's it look?

one sec.

what?

I just gotta check the linear accelerator.

Hold on.

It should work.

you don't sound too confident.

it's just really dicey, eh.

hey, is it going to work or not?

it will work.

- cool... I'll see you when you get up here.

five Tesla enough magnet?

should be.

Who's he?

the physics operator.

Hey Robert.

hey guys... What's going on?

peter tanning, Robert Jaret.

you know I didn't see your name on the night schedule.

- oh... I'm just trying to get some of this old...

Equipment working... It might be needed.

the goniometer is actually fairly new...

It's only been used a couple of times.

good to know.

I'll be running some experiments with it next week.

- okay then. If you guys have any...

Problems, I'm down stairs in the control room.

thanks.

- you know... It's really important to...

Let me know when there is a problem.

will do.

see you then.

- it was Robert who told you about the experiment wasn't it?

does it matter?

son of a bitch.

we've been monitoring you...

since when?

Who are you people? What right do you have?

more than you or I will ever know.

- okay so who's the we? This us?

Those interested you keep talking about?

All right...

I'm not going to tell you anything more about...

The experiment.

it has no name.

Only purpose.

[laugh]

I thought you said there was no one in here after 6.

Robert has to be here to take care of any...

Beamline scientists.

you mean they're here too?

not usually.

I don't believe this!

chill out man.

Nobody cares what we are doing here.

Robert seemed to care.

so this was a critical moment in the experiment?

it was the first stage of the experiment to see...

If we could synthesize a magnetic monopole.

- I thought you were trying to synthesize a singularity?

basically, once you've synthesized a monopole...

You've got a singularity.

Now, theory says that they should naturally occur...

But no one's ever found one... Except maybe jack.

yeah, jack did.

of course you would know that.

I told you, he was working with us.

and just what was he doing up there at your lab...

In northern California?

Ok, so here we go again...

I tell you about the experiment, and you keep your mouth shut...

About anything that might be remotely relevant.

How do you expect me to get the answers you need...

When you hold back information that will...

Help me piece it together?

piece what together?

jack!

What happened to him?

I thought we were talking about the experiment.

understand what happened to jack...

And you will understand the experiment.

Not just what happened...

But what it really means...

Its significance.

you ready?

lets go.

[intense music]

neutron source.

almost there.

Go.

all right.

[goniometer drone]

let's see what it looks like.

Come on...

Fragment!

how long should it take?

less time than its taking.

can you check the hysteresis curve?

is the field saturating?

sure is. Yeah.

we're ramping the field too quick.

hey!

I'm getting power surges off the chart.

look I know we're way out of line here...

But if you just let us finish the hysteresis experiment...

He can pass his class.

too much bias.

yeah we're trying to fix that.

you know if this were anybody else.

How much more time do you guys need?

another half hour, max.

okay, I'm giving you until 11.

he doesn't believe us.

- whatever... What do you want to do?

can we get 7 Tesla?

the current to get there could fry it.

no choice.

Here goes.

[experiment drone]

[fluorescence drone]

[warning alert]

I'm shutting it down.

just a few more seconds.

dude, it's no use.

look.

it's fragmenting.

It's fragmenting.

[goniometer drone stops]

crystal fluorescence.

beautiful, eh?

[laughter]

how did it feel?

amazing...

And at the same time fearful.

why fearful?

no.

is this because I didn't answer your question...

About jack's research?

I think you don't understand the constraints that I'm under.

What I'm authorized to say.

- you know I can't believe this conversation is taking place.

It's entirely absurd.

Stuck in this room...

With an intelligence operative?

A mathematician. God knows what else.

jack was trying to stabilize the singularity.

A portal to another universe.

found a mechanic today.

really?

name's buck.

how did you find him?

he was in this diner next to a gas station.

The car was smoking because you didn't fix it...

Like you said you would.

is he any good?

think so.

pardon me miss.

Saw you pull up smoking.

well, yeah, as long as he's reasonable.

it's been a really difficult day.

- whoa. Tell you what.

Why don't I take your car to my garage?

It's on me.

said it was a welcome to the town gift.

[laughter]

you're kidding.

I'll get your car all fixed up.

[sigh]

- I'm sorry Lyndi. Are you okay?

- I don't know peter. There's nothing here for me.

you know what working under...

Jack Brenner means for my career.

it was suppose to mean we could start a family.

What are you so afraid of?

look I'm not afraid.

Just hold on a little while longer...

We're almost there.

Everything's been leading up to this where...

Everything starts to make sense.

maybe you don't need to accomplish anything...

To mean something.

Maybe who you are is enough.

Who we are.

what are you talking about?

Everything hinges on this.

You know you used to believe in my dreams.

and you used to believe in ours.

[door slam]

so why did jack stop working with you?

he lost heart.

The reason to keep trying.

I can understand that.

can you?

ever since I can remember...

Even as a child...

I was obsessed with somewhere beyond this world.

I'd never admit it to anybody but my...

Research was much more than just science.

It was about validating who I was...

That what I had experienced my whole life wasn't because...

I was crazy.

I was meant to discover that.

[whispers]

who's there?

[birds chirping]

so what's on your mind, peter?

what you say in your paper is a...

Parallel universe...

From an elementary monopole singularity expansion.

It's a brilliant idea, but it's like you held back.

well, I couldn't stabilize the elementary monopole.

Theoretically speaking...

If you had a stable monopole...

The idea would be to bombard it with fast energy particles.

Chances are one of these...

Is going to slam into the monopole...

And when that happens...

A new universe, parallel to ours, will be born.

The problem is, besides needing the stable monopole...

You need...

This to trigger the singularity expansion.

well yeah, the synchrotron.

maybe.

[mysterious music]

thanks for coming, peter.

I know you're busy.

Buck Townsend.

peter tanning.

nice to meet ya.

pleasure to meet you.

buck's the one who helped fix the car.

oh, we really do appreciate that, buck.

oh, it's my pleasure.

You know I've been thinking...

You two being new in town and all...

There's a resort and casino just north of Calgary.

I'm taking some friends up there this weekend.

Why don't you guys come along?

We'd stay at my ranch.

It's part of the resort.

Flying us all in my plane.

oh, we didn't order

buck's usual.

And that little ranch he's talking about...

Buck owns the resort.

what do you think, peter?

it sounds really great...

But it's going to be hard to get time off from work.

Why don't you go, Lyndi?

without you?

will it be okay?

my pleasure.

I want this place to be good for both of us.

Go on have some fun.

hey, thanks for this, buck.

it's my pleasure.

- I'd never do that now. I mean who would do that?

Let their wife go with another man.

I was so blinded.

I didn't see him as a threat.

All I could think was I could...

Finish the experiment.

I just needed one final push...

Uninterrupted by my relationship with my wife.

So stupid.

[peter remembering] any information that goes in...

Anything, even light... There's no way out.

not in this universe, but perhaps in another.

jack was trying to expand the singularity.

But he couldn't control it.

He came face to face with...

- the Einstein-Rosen bridge.

we had always been interested in the creation of...

Other universes.

But, there were uncontrollable side effects.

so, jack did experiment with his theory?

Another universe.

jack?

[flashlight clicks]

what's up?

hey.

anything interesting?

what?

that.

just some calculations.

what do you know about undulators?

why?

get the door.

We need a way to expand the monopole...

To learn about its properties.

We're going to need very intense and...

Narrow energy bands to hit it hard.

an undulator beam will get you the energy...

But you'll need optics to focus the beam.

[Einstein-Rosen bridge pulsates]

what does jack think?

- I don't know. I haven't asked him yet?

don't you think you should?

This is heavy stuff, way beyond us.

not just yet.

I want to have more data before we tell him.

I don't know.

- we just got to expand the monopole... That's all.

So?

I'll get you the beam.

cool.

Tonight then.

how much did Tim know about the science?

I never told him more than he needed to know.

He knew we were running renegade experiment...

And he knew not to ask.

he didn't wonder?

I'm not sure and I didn't care.

At that moment I needed to get to the airport.

You're going to clean this all up aren't you?

it's a lot more complicated than you know.

[gusts of wind]

I really wish you were coming.

me too, but I can't.

I still think you should of asked.

there's no way.

It's safe right?

why safe as anything.

Besides, I got a good co-pilot.

I've never flown a plane before in my life.

- piece of cake. I'll teach you in the air.

Hop in lets getty up.

- but your friends, are they-

ah, there meeting us up there.

okay.

Lyndi.

I love you.

I'll take good care of her.

[plane engine]

[gusting wind]

[synchrotron noise]

[goniometer pulsing]

undulator beam?

ready to rock.

go.

[experiment noise]

radiation levels?

holding steady.

keep an eye on them.

got it.

can we magnify around the monopole?

yeah.

So, what exactly are you looking for here?

a kind of expansion.

shouldn't we be looking for the crystal lattice?

That would at least tell us something about the structure.

I can switch to an atomic structure view...

no!

well at least let's get a visual.

I'm bring up a view of the crystal.

fine.

I'm seeing Cheronkov radiation.

Here it comes.

radiation levels?

increasing but still safe.

shut it down.

what?

I said shut it down, now.

okay. Whatever.

What was that all about?

radiation levels were getting too high.

we weren't even close to a danger level.

rates were increasing too quickly...

I couldn't chance it.

sure.

Tim didn't believe you that there was radiation.

not sure and I didn't care.

As long as he was gone.

If I succeeded...

you were willing to take the risk.

I never believed it would end badly.

if you didn't think it would end badly...

Why did you kick Tim out?

You see it's a lot more complicated.

[wind gusts]

- problems in Texas... Odessa pipeline.

howdy, red.

No kiddin? They get it cleaned up?

I'll see you Tuesday.

You hungry?

starving.

- great, the lodge makes the best steak you ever tasted.

[typing]

so what's on tonight?

I'm taking it alone tonight.

what?

that guy Robert, we're under his eye.

We got to play cool for a little while.

he's always like that, you know?

Sticking his nose into everything, but that's all.

You're being paranoid.

look, I'm taking it alone tonight.

That's it!

go for it.

good thing Tim wasn't there.

why?

- that's when it happened. The singularity expansion.

It changed everything.

[typing]

[intense music]

[singularity pulse ramp]

how did it change everything?

- well normally there's one person for every universe...

But when you only have one person...

For two universes...

You've got problems.

I was phase shifting into

multidimensional space.

Then again...

Could have been a psychotic break.

or an alternate reality...

Another universe.

you still there?

something you said...

That there's one person for each universe.

Reminded me of something jack use to say.

yeah?

- "some people aren't meant for this world."

[goniometer pulsing]

I don't care what jack says, you little prick...

I swear to god...

if I knew what you are talking about, I would help...

- you see that? They're dead...

the computer kicked me out.

- look at those diagnostics. They're dead. They're blank.

Now I want to know what is going on.

Robert, if you have a problem, go ask peter...

Cause I don't know what he did.

homework, right?

Yeah that's really what you guys were doing.

- hey guys. What's up?

what were you guys working on?

And don't even try the homework line.

what did you tell him?

I keep telling him it was just homework.

forget about that!

I saw the energy spikes going off the chart.

But what I don't understand is when it all went blank.

what are you talking about?

- oh come on... You had to have seen something.

I didn't see anything.

- all the x-ray lab diagnostics...

You really don't know, do you?

that's what I'm saying.

- all the x-ray lab diagnostics went dead.

probably just a computer glitch.

- I checked. It's way more than that.

what do you mean way more?

- it's like the entire x-ray lab just disappeared.

Now what were you guys working on?

All right, that's it! You're both going on report.

Jack can sort this out.

- come on, man-

forget it, Tim!

- whoa, hey! It's not worth it.

I hate you.

[paper shuffling]

did Tim know you had created a universe?

I mean, he must of suspected.

it was my experiment.

I couldn't have him or anyone else interfering.

Okay.

Look, I didn't know what the hell was going on.

I was starting to loose control.

[intense music]

[phone rings]

hello.

peter?

- hey, you okay? I've been trying to call you.

sorry, the phone reception is really bad out here.

how was the plane ride?

it was fine.

Buck let me fly.

you're still alive?

[laughter]

where are you?

at the bar waiting to get a table for dinner.

sounds like you're having a really good time.

I miss you.

my research, lyndi...

What I've discovered...

It's amazing.

it's always about what you're doing...

It's never about us.

why do you always have to look for the bad?

Why can't you just...

Enjoy what's right in front of you?

- oh yeah. I'm at a bar, alone...

With a man I just met.

alone?

Where are buck's friends?

they didn't end up coming.

so what's he doing up there?

Throwing his money all over you?

he's not doing anything.

Besides being nice.

lyndi?

[phone vibrates]

lyndi?

yes?

please come home.

now's not the best time.

what do you mean?

- buck and I are going to Texas. One of his pipelines burst.

you're doing what?

he asked me to go with him.

so tell him you can't go.

don't tell me what to do.

I gotta go.

I don't believe this

I'm sorry.

something...

Misfired in my head.

How could I be so stupid?

so, she started having an affair with this man?

no.

I didn't know it then...

But I know it now that...

I was actually jumping into a parallel universe.

It wasn't her... It wasn't my lyndi.

You see I started to shift.

shift?

yeah, between universes.

did anyone else know of this affair, this...

Shifting?

well, jack knew I was off.

And he tried to reach out.

how's the beamline going?

yeah the beamline seems to be working to spec...

But these mirrors are a little out of alignment.

Too much vibration.

I tried to compensate by...

Changing the primary default angle at initialization.

Tim and I...

yeah?

Tim’s been helping me at night with the beamline.

- far be it for me to discourage a young talented scientist...

From his research.

As long as you keep this x-ray beamline working...

Whatever you do around here is okay by me.

thanks jack.

you like rockabilly?

yeah, I do.

there's a bar called the fez...

On river drive.

Rockabilly band playing there all week long.

Why don't you and lyndi, meet me there tomorrow night?

You're always gonna have work here.

Come on.

- okay sure. We'll see you there.

[drone]

[laughing]

hey peter.

I thought you'd already be at work.

howdy, peter.

something wrong?

no, everything's okay with you and buck.

I best be getting on.

thanks again buck, I had a really great time.

see ya there, peter.

I don't believe you!

How could you be so rude to him?

- are you serious? The guy wants to take you to Texas?

I have a right to be rude.

where do you get that?

Come on lyndi, you told me on the phone.

What happen? Your conscious get to you?

what are you talking about?

oh, you said flat out...

That you're going down to Texas with him.

are you okay?

I know what I heard.

buck is going to Texas, not me!

What is wrong with you? You're ...Acting

crazy?

I didn't say that.

- no, go ahead, say it... Crazy!

[birds chirping]

[whispering]

I mean, ever since I can remember I saw...

I always thought they were hallucinations.

[mysterious drone]

whatever your concerns for your sanity...

Your research is valid.

how can you say I'm not just crazy?

perhaps, as you say, if there was a shifting

between universes, maybe between time as well.

Assuming you were shifting...

How would you know which universe you were in?

The real or the alternate.

well, frame of reference is irrelevant.

Both universes would be real.

one time jack had the same concerns.

like what?

the girl.

I don't get it, if he was so hung up on her...

Why not just get her back or at least try?

well, that was the problem...

He couldn't find her.

what she took off? Disappeared?

- it's not like she disappeared it's like she never existed.

We offered to look for her...

But jack said not to bother, that it was impossible.

- jack, what? Imagined her?

no.

It's as if she was somewhere between the imagined...

And a memory.

It's like a dream you wish was true.

Tim.

Thanks for going along with the story last night.

what are you talking about, peter?

last night when Robert reported us.

what?

what were you guys working on?

And don't even try the homework line.

the last time I saw you was when you...

Kicked me out of the lab.

yeah, I'm sorry about that, too.

But you see the way Robert’s been-

I don't know what you're talking about peter.

you don't remember charging Robert in the...

Control room last night?

- you're both going on report! Jack can sort this out!

come on, man!

forget it, Tim.

whoa, hey, it's not worth it.

- I don't what you're thinking man, but that did not happen.

I got class in 10 minutes.

You okay, peter?

- yeah. Sure.

so when you were shifting...

You were living in two universes?

When the singularity expanded...

Instead of a separate me for each universe...

There was somehow only one of me...

Switching back and forth between the two.

and you couldn't control which universe you were in?

correct.

so somehow you opened a doorway...

Into another universe.

And it was effecting your perception of reality?

science is crazy, right?

let's just try to have some fun.

[rockabilly music]

glad you guys could make it.

jack, this is my wife lyndi.

hey, nice to meet you.

so good to meet you.

Peter's told me so much about you.

uh oh.

Complaining about the boss already?

[laughter]

well let's sit down.

[rockabilly music]

peter's always telling me about...

How much he admires your research.

well, I'll drink to that.

And here's to lyndi for...

Putting up with being married to a physicist.

[laughing]

oh yeah.

you all know, our local, surfing scientist here...

It's jack "the cat" Brenner!

[applause]

well tonight, jack's brought with him...

All the way from California...

His very own stand-up bass player!

he downloaded your demo, man, you're good.

come on, get up there.

come on, peter.

come on up, come on and play a song.

[band starts playing]

he's good.

he loves to play.

well, everybody needs an escape.

he works too much to have an escape.

yeah, peter!

I worry about him.

Would you watch out for him at the lab, jack?

of course.

thank you.

you bet.

Wanna dance?

yeah!

[rockabilly music]

[birds chirping]

hey, peter.

What's up?

I'm really sorry about last night.

what are you talking about?

I shouldn't have let buck get to me.

I didn't mean to make a scene at your favorite bar.

But when they started dancing together...

The way that they were looking at each other...

I just sort of-

wait, sit down.

The only other person to dance with you wife was me.

buck was there when lyndi and I arrived.

They danced right in front of you.

no, peter.

I don't understand.

Jack, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to...

I'm going through some personal problems...

why don't you take the rest of the day off?

no, I don't need to do that.

What do you do, jack, when life doesn't make sense?

that can be real scary.

You know, you find what's important to you.

And you trust that whatever happens...

It happens for a reason.

You're not alone here.

[ocean waves]

join with us, peter.

We can give you everything you need to...

Perfect what you've discovered.

We can help you with you and lyndi.

no you can't.

work with us...

And you'll never have to...

Justify your work or your dream to her again.

Be home for dinner every night.

Have a good position. Lots of money.

and you would...

Help me for some, altruistic reason?

Some noble cause?

what we're facing...

Our very existence...

You can't imagine.

try me.

what jack started, and you continued...

Wouldn't you say it stands to reason that there are...

Counterparts to you and jack in other universes?

sure, of course.

we have to be prepared in order to protect.

is this the same offer you made to jack?

[mysterious music]

peter...

Are the weekly reports ready for me?

they're right here.

hey sorry about bothering you at the university.

bother?

Not at all. You're welcome any time.

you know if it's ok with you...

I do think it would be best...

If I did take the rest of the afternoon off.

I don't know if it would be wise to take off early...

The same day you came in late.

- you're right, I agree. Sorry.

you alright?

yeah, I just need to get some food...

And then I'll finish out the day.

hello, Tim?

yeah?

jack Brenner here.

Listen, I wanna talk to you, but not over the telephone.

Can you meet me over at the x-ray lab?

now?

well, when can you get here?

half an hour.

make it twenty.

So tell me about peter's work.

- X-ray physics.

Mostly calibration and mirror alignment for the beamline.

- you don't measure space-time curvature...

For an x-ray beamline.

what's he really been working on?

I'm not upset Tim.

But I'm concerned about peter.

I need to know what he's doing.

it's what he uses to get the magnetic monopole.

he's done it.

Has he managed to expand the singularity?

I'm not supposed to know.

it's the logical next step.

jack?

you've done something amazing here.

thank you.

I believe this is yours.

We need to talk about this.

In your office, tonight?

okay.

that's who jack was.

He knew I was in trouble...

And he was determined to find a way to help me.

so did jack believe...

That you had created an alternate universe?

at that point, yeah we all did.

And then...

I started to unravel.

hey.

I'm just reheating some leftovers.

I hope that's ok.

I wasn't sure when you'd be home or what you wanted to do.

what are you doing?

just cooking dinner.

How was your day?

you expect everything to just be normal now?

I'd like it to be.

I just came here to get some clothes.

I'm surprised you're even home.

where else would I be?

sleeping with buck, maybe?

what are you talking about?

Nothing happened!

unbelievable!

where are you going?

I'm sleeping at the lab tonight.

you're going to stay at the lab?

better than at home with my lying...

Skanky wife!

how can you say that?

You're not making any sense!

yeah, that's been made perfectly clear.

Say hi to buck for me.

wake up!

Nothing happened!

You're delusional and you can't even admit it.

figure things out at home?

lyndi and I are splitting up.

She had an affair.

We're not even in town 6 months and she...

Sleeps with some stranger.

the other night at the fez...

You and lyndi, it's clear that she really loves you.

- you saw her dancing with buck, like I wasn't even there.

Yeah, I know you don't believe me.

I didn't say I don't believe you...

I said I didn't see anything.

How far along are you with the singularity expansion?

I was almost there the other night...

Then Robert pulled the plug.

I know, he showed me the lab diagnostics.

that had to be a computer glitch.

maybe, or maybe...

The creation of a universe.

[laughter]

or, maybe my imagination.

in any event...

There may be some answers in these notes.

Go ahead and use those. Don't lose them.

thanks, jack.

[suspenseful music]

what was the significance of the note?

- an Eisenstein-Rosen bridge...

The same as on jack's whiteboard.

It demonstrates a connection between two universes.

Two black holes, linked by a wormhole.

I know that, but...

Did the note imply a connection to an existing universe?

If jack believed that you had created...

Another universe...

Why would he want to go into it?

Does it make sense that your mentor...

The man you claim understood the science...

Even better than you...

Would want to blindly jump into yet another...

Third reality?

Or is it more likely...

That it was a window back...

To the universe that he had come from?

So that would mean that he believed that...

Einstein-Rosen bridge was a bridge...

And not the actual creation of a universe.

ah!

peter?

how did I get here?

what's wrong?

this can't be happening.

I was just in my office

and then I turned and I closed the door and now I'm here.

- maybe your just having a-

a hallucination?

Like when I was a kid?

- maybe this is just your body getting your attention.

You need sleep.

I don't need sleep!

What I need is for people to stop lying to me!

why won't you let me help you?

I don't need your help!

I just need to solve my problem.

My problem.

My problem.

Bastard!

Don't even try to deny it!

whoa, you need to calm down there partner.

peter!

what are you doing here?

[knock on door]

is peter here?

I need to talk with you.

this isn't the best time.

it's about peter.

It's important.

Thanks.

When's the last time you saw him?

you're not going to believe me.

try me.

we were having a fight.

I was in here and...

He was over there...

And he was screaming and yelling...

And then the next thing, he was gone.

what do you mean, gone?

I don't know he was just gone.

He was screaming.

This can't be happening again.

- what again? What?

when he was young he had problems.

Hallucinations. Delusions.

Peter can't be losing his mind

I thought he was but it just doesn't make sense.

How's someone there one minute and then just vanish?

I think I know what might be going on here.

I believe peter has...

Opened up a bridge, so to speak...

To another reality.

But I'm not talking about his mind.

I'm talking about a parallel reality.

A total shift...

With this physical world.

Besides the 3 dimensions...

That you and I can perceive sitting here in this kitchen

there are other dimensions which exist...

Here and now...

Where space and time blur.

There's no before, no after.

If we can get peter to the lab...

I believe I can help him.

We're gonna do this together here.

We're gonna get it fixed.

[suspenseful music]

peter?

- not, not now jack. I gotta figure this out.

what's going on?

What are you doing?

I wanted to kill him, you know?

who?

buck.

- I can't believe lyndi had an affair. Okay?

okay, but I just saw them together!

I'm so close, jack.

You know? I'm so close.

That's why I came here. Because of you.

Because of your theory.

Because I thought I could prove it.

I thought I could prove it, but I can't!

where'd you get this?

you gave it to me.

hold on a minute, peter.

We're gonna try something here, peter.

Alright, you keep this note.

why?

take it!

Take the note and hold on to it.

why?

so this was the second jack?

yeah.

why would he write you a note...

And then ask you to give it back to him?

because they were both trying to help me.

why?

I think I understand what's going on here now.

you do?

yeah.

We need to create a naked singularity.

And we can do that with a spherical confinement.

peter?

I'm almost ready.

Have you had enough yet?

We might have time for one more.

yeah, bring that up.

Meet me in the lab.

Make sure you keep that energy ramping.

he still hasn't come home.

I'm so worried.

we're gonna go find him.

Alright? Let's go.

jack!

it's okay.

we were so close.

you did it!

You got there.

I've been waiting a lifetime...

For this moment, alright.

You gotta trust me.

We just got to get to the lab.

[intense music]

peter!

- that's not possible! You were just...

it's okay.

you got the note?

Yes!

Alright, now we're gonna go to to the lab.

I got this side.

Let's go!

[grunting]

if there was any hope for me, it was jack.

how was he going to help you?

I can only speculate but...

You know the story of Schrodinger’s cat?

yeah.

The essential mystery of quantum mechanics.

That you can only tell whether the cat's alive or dead...

When you open the box containing the cat.

That two possibilities can exist simultaneously.

The outcome of which only happens...

When something is measured.

that the outcome is actually...

Effected by the observation.

you're not comparing yourself to...

An elementary particle on the submicroscopic level?

You can't extrapolate...

Quantum mechanics to the macroscopic.

we're dealing with the unknown here.

The edge of physics.

Look, all I know is what I experienced.

The shifting...

It's like I was a kind of probability.

You know, in both universes, but not definite in either.

so you were the cat...

And jack was the guy opening the box?

we need lots of energy now, Robert.

you got it jack.

fired up, Tim?

good to go.

alright, set him down here.

I wish I had time to explain what was going on here, lyndi.

what's happening to him?

I don't understand.

just trust me.

Peter, remember the classroom?

It's all connected.

Remember that?

How's it going, Tim?

hang on.

it's very important that you...

Keep his mind right here with you.

Okay? You got that?

We all set?

I don't like this, jack.

I mean, the radiation.

Getting peter back into phase? That's crazy.

it's only crazy if you don't believe.

but, peter in two parallel universes?

You can't believe this is gonna work.

it's what I believe.

I don't believe this.

Jack!

what's happening?

[jack narration] there are other dimensions...

Which exist where space and time blur.

There's no before, no after.

Trust that whatever happens, it happens for a reason.

I'm alright.

you were right.

Jack was from another universe...

The one that I inadvertently reopened.

So, jack was never supposed to exist in this universe.

He was in fact...

A kind of copy of himself from another universe.

and he created a timeline for himself here...

In this universe.

But that's why he couldn't find the girl...

She didn't exist here.

the symmetry between universes was broken.

That's why I was phase-shifting back and forth.

That's why I've always phase-shifted.

and the only way he could help you...

Was for him to cease to exist in this universe.

To merge with himself in the other universe.

that's how he did it.

He fixed it.

you never did answer my question.

I told you about the experiment.

And we discovered what happened to jack.

What more is there?

you.

look...

I get what you're trying to say about...

Needing to be prepared, but...

Really?

there's no other way for you, peter.

and if I choose another way?

the day will come when you will be needed.

And when that day comes...

You will have no choice.
