[screams]

ROY NARRATING:
Wakey-wakey! Heads-up.

- [man grunts]
- Shoes. Pants.

Low bridge! Shirt.

On your left. I'll take that.

[machete clatters]

Block. Slap.

Knife switch.

Rip him. Flip him.

OK. Coffee, anyone?

Can you imagine
waking up every day

with some random asshole
like Mr Good Morning here

trying to hack you up
with a fucking machete?

Seriously.

Arggh!

This might have been fun
for a while.

You're fucking dead!

Once the shock wore off,

once I realised
what the hell was happening,

after nearly 140 times,

it just fucking got annoying

and I want it to stop.

- [whirring]
- But I know it won't.

You know how people say,

"Oh, I can do that
with my eyes closed,"

and you always think
they sound like assholes?

But... whatever.

Watch.

[grunts]

[screams]

Sorry, pal!
They think you're me!

[gunfire]

As many times as I've seen this
happen to my apartment,

I still can't help but think,
"Fuck! Man, this is a lease."

The landlord is already
an asshole anyway

and I'm never, ever getting
my security deposit back.

[bullets ricochet and echo]

It wasn't always like this.

I was happy once. I really was.

I had a woman
that I loved, but...

..now I'm just pissed off.

[helicopter whirring echoes]

Ugh!

[watch beeping]

Ah, shit. Gotta jump.

["Foreplay/Long Time" continues]

Arggh!

- [thud]
- Ow!

[grunts]

I missed this truck
exactly 22 times before.

You know how it feels

falling four storeys
to the street below?

[screams]

It fucking hurts
is how it feels.

[horns honking]

Mr Man's-Man
in the Challenger here

screams at date-rape volume
every single time.

- [shrilly] I'm being carjacked!
- "I'm being carjacked!"

Yes, you are.

The next set of assholes trying
to kill me are in that minivan.

Could you get through
this traffic, please?

- Don't tell me how to drive.
- I'm not telling you...

Esmerelda the chauffeur and Pam.

You love to argue.

I have no fucking idea

if those are
their real names

because I never stop
to say hello.

[engine revs]

[silenced gunshots]

[rock music continues]

[horn blares]

Now, after the bus, it's pretty
much smooth sailing and I can...

Wait a second. Did I...
Oh, shit.

- Did I get to the bus yet?
- [horn honks]

- [people screaming]
- Nope.

MAN: Oh, sweet Jesus!

God?

- [siren blaring]
- Don't feel bad for me.

This kinda shit
happens every day.

I used to complain
that every day felt the same

and then May 9th came,

and now every day IS the same.

[screams]

Ugh, same wake-up scream,

same machete-wielding asshole,

same everything,
with slight variations.

- [thud]
- Ohh!

Mother... Ugh!

[helicopter approaching]

Oh...

One thing that never changes...

..is I die

every single day.

I die.

Here's a little highlight reel.

- [cheerful jazzy music]
- Arggh!

Now, truth be told,

I don't even know why
they want to kill me,

or what I've done
to deserve getting killed,

but there's a shit-ton of 'em.

- You've met Pam.
- [horn honking tunefully]

[staccato gunshots]

She did that to me 14 times

before I finally got
her timing down.

This little angel-faced asshole
is known as Guan Yin.

[blade slices]

How do I know her name?

I am Guan Yin.

And Guan Yin has done this.

Her name means
"Goddess of Mercy".

I think she digs irony.

I call this little
cocky motherfucker Kaboom.

- [beeping]
- What's up, pretty boy?

You fucking weirdo dwarf.
What are you doing?

- Oh, I don't like that attitude.
- [device whirring]

I've given them all nicknames -
Pam, Smiley, the German Twins,

Roy Number Two,
who happens to be

some asshole who looks
exactly like me.

[people scream]

Now, sometimes
I manage to kill them.

[bodies thud]

But it doesn't matter.

They always find me

and eventually they take me out.

I am Guan Yin.

And Guan Yin has done this.

I don't know
how this is possible

or why I keep
repeating the same day.

I've never had time
to figure it out.

It's a shit show
from the second I open my eyes.

Jemma, the only woman
I've ever loved

and the one person who has
the answers I'm looking for.

[line ringing]

[phone trills]

Hello.

Uh, I'm looking
for Dr Jemma Wells.

Who's this?

This is her hus...
Um, her boyfriend Roy.

Ah, Captain Roy Pulver,
he of Delta Force fame.

Who's this?

This is Colonel Clive Ventor.

- Jemma's boss.
- Until recently.

Is she around?

Well, no, unfortunately
she's not.

Oh, do you know
when she'll be back?

Now, that is more of
a cosmic question

that I'd have to hand over
to a higher power.

Huh?

She's dead.

What?

VENTOR: Hate to be the bearer
of bad news,

but Miss Wells
took a nasty spill

and snapped her neck last night.

An accident in the lab,
working late,

likely very fatigued.

- No.
- [car boot shuts]

Can I ask where you are?

- Eins...
- Zwei...

ROY: That was
no fucking accident.

BOTH: Drei!

Why is she dead? Who killed her?

I have never lived
long enough to find out.

OK, so where were we?

Oh, yeah, the bus.

Fuck!

[tyres squeal]

[gunfire]

[speaking Spanish]

Oh, honey, we got
ourselves a cowboy.

I think I'm gonna have
to get serious here.

The fuck?

Fuck me!

Oh! Fuck!

[car alarm blaring]

Nah, I think they deserved it.

[cheerful Chinese
pop music plays]

[doorbell chimes]

MAN: Hey, Roy!

Hey, Jake.

Whoa. You look like
death taking a dump.

- What happened to you?
- I just woke up wrong.

- I'm fine, Jake.
- Alright.

Happens all the time.

Can I get a large bottle
of that baijiu, please?

You know what, Jake?

- Make it two large bottles.
- Two! Jesus Christ.

Hear ye, hear ye,
Sir Osis of Liver!

[laughing] I'm just kidding.

Alcoholics Unanimous,
am I right?

You only got today, right, Jake?

'Cause tomorrow
isn't guaranteed.

Fuckin'-A, pal. Fuckin'-A.

This kid is all about
the shutdown.

How can you drink like that?

Ohh!

How can you not?

You know, a lot of expert
internal security pundits -

and, mind you, I'm one of them -

think that the next 9/11 will
target our distilled spirits.

Now, you have got a country
with a rate of alcoholism

and binge drinking somewhere
in the 38th percentile,

so should you wipe out
en masse...

ROY: This douchebag's
named Dave.

Dave is a security specialist
for some private firm

and it doesn't matter
what my answer is

to him asking,
"How can you drink like that?"

he always launches into
this exact same fucking speech.

I know what he's gonna say
word for word.

I know everything
that's gonna happen

from the second I walk in.

[doorbell chimes]

At 11:05, this famous

Chinese swordfighter comes in.

She was a 12-time
world champion.

Holy shit! Dai Feng.

Roy, you know she's
one of the most famous...

ROY: Wudang Chinese
sword masters?

- JAKE: 12-time...
- World champion.

- Have I told you about her?
- A hundred times.

- Really? I don't remember.
- I do.

Pedro, clear a table
for Sifu Feng.

Hi. Please sit.

ROY: Sifu Feng here is the
reason I have to bust my ass

to get to the bar every day.

If I get here
any later than 11:00,

she takes the last seat
at the bar.

[country rock music plays]

JAKE: Oh, shit.

She just stared at me.

Have you ever been with a woman?

Excuse me?

Have you ever been with a woman?

Think I'm catching a fish,
if you know what I mean.

I think you have a better chance

of growing a penis
on your forehead, Jake.

[bell dings]

At around noon...

OK, I... I feel a little bit bad
about this next thing.

I just love seeing him wipe out.

I'm sorry. I know
I should probably warn him.

But it's just so fucking funny

and it's not like I got a lot
to laugh about these days.

You can't file
workman's comp, Pedro!

No-one will believe you!

At 12:20, Dave the pantload
finally goes back to work.

You better hope
the terrorists don't decide

to start poisoning
the world's baijiu supply, Roy!

But not before delivering
that little gut-buster.

[Dave laughs,
speaks indistinctly]

- Too much.
- ROY: Sit down, Dave.

Excuse me?

I wanna tell you a story.

Whoa! OK, I'm bombed today.

Little twist on the war story.

I start talking about
the other times I've died

when I've had too much to drink.

You ever been shot
in the face, Dave?

Huh?

I was shot in the face.

And a funny thing happened
to me right before I died.

This was a while back now.

I think it was a .45 ACP round.

Enters here, clean.

Bullet winds up
in my mouth, almost intact,

and I remember tasting steak.

Yeah, like a really,
really good rib eye.

Mmm!

And it wasn't only
until much later

when I was alive again

I said, "Shit...

"That was my tongue being cooked
by the heat of the bullet."

That's what I tasted, my tongue.

You believe that shit?
That's fucking wild.

That is a true story, Dave.

[Dave and Jake
chuckle awkwardly]

Good stuff, buddy.

Ever thought about getting
a sober coach?

Copy that.

[bell dings]

ROY: At exactly 12:47...

Let me get to that in a second.

But say a quarter till,

I've usually got
a really, really good buzz

and I'm feeling fucking good.

You see, as long as
I make it to this bar,

I can drink until they find me.

[sighs]

I can get absolutely
shit-faced...

..and not feel a thing.

- [doorbell chimes]
- [people exclaim]

12:47 pm.

I've never, not once,

made it a minute
past this point.

Why do I let it happen?

Why not?

'Cause outside of this bar,

no matter what direction I run
and no matter how hard I fight,

I have never lived
past 12:47 pm.

They always get me.

[guns cocking]

Bunch of assholes I've never met

killing me for reasons
that remain a mystery.

And she's dead, my girl.

Gone in a moment further back
than I can ever go,

stuck here in the death loop
of a never-ending day.

I know I can't keep
drinking my way through it...

..not when every day
ends like this.

I need a plan now.
I need to make somebody pay.

They have an army.

All I have is time.

Yesterday was months ago.

[muzak plays]

[elevator bell dings]

Great.

Yep, that's good.

[clears throat]

Guys, um, can you give me
a second, please?

WOMAN: Sure.

My God, woman.

Look at you.

- Hi.
- Hey.

[chuckles]

So have you developed

some allergic reaction
to the phones?

No, no, I just got back.

My cell phone was shut off,

and I didn't get a chance to
square away my landline, so...

- So they shut that off too?
- Eh, yeah.

I mean, it's really just luck

that you got in touch
with me at all.

Oh, yeah! Luck, yeah.

The amount of luck it took
to find you in the bar

at the bottom
of your apartment building.

What were the odds?

[Roy chuckles]

Well, hello there, sarcasm.
How you been, stranger?

Haven't heard
from you in a while.

- [paper rustles]
- What's that?

ROY: I brought a résumé.

But the printer I used
was kind of low on ink

so the Delta Force section
is hard to read.

Shh.

- Is that gonna hurt my chances?
- Ehh.

- Come here.
- Hmm?

They, uh, wear uniforms here.

- Security, so...
- Oh, very cool, yeah.

- So I need to just...
- I mean, it's not those...

Whoa!

Those maroon things,
like mall security?

'Cause I can't rock that look.

Maroon? Like... my dress?

No, not like your dress
because that would be sexy.

- No, I'm just saying.
- Fine.

Anyway, I...

What's the salary here anyway?

ROY ON SPEAKERS: Have any idea?

And is there a medical copay?

Because I have a pre-existing,

you know, with the combat stuff.

Hey, what do you do here?
It looks really... big.

Been working on it a while?

JEMMA: Just long enough, I hope.

ROY: What is that thing anyway?

That's five years' worth
of sleepless nights

and round-the-clock research.

And it means more to me
than you can possibly imagine.

What does it do?

- What's it do?
- Mm.

Unmakes all of time and space...

..and destroys the planet in its
entirety, if improperly used.

ROY: No shit.

Wait. Like, doomsday destroy?

Well, you must

be really stressed!

JEMMA: Mm-hm.

Wow. Look at Joe.

Jesus, he's getting
so big, Jemma.

Hey, you mind
if I swap this out?

- Huh?
- This... this picture.

You got another one of these?

Oh, yeah, sure, you can take it.
What's your weight?

Uh...

I'm doing... I'm doing a special
paleo thing, so it's, like, 175.

Still drinking?

- Yeah.
- I'll put 180.

180.

Have you thought
about telling him?

It would mean a lot to me
if we could tell him, Jemma.

[scoffs] Honestly,
what would he gain?

You've been absent
most of his life.

Why do you gotta
say it like that,

like it wouldn't be worth it

if I got to know him now,
you know?

My work took me away
from you guys.

- Your work?
- Yeah.

Your work?

You loved that life a lot more

than you loved the idea
of sharing one with us.

Getting shot at
is way more exciting

than diapers and minivans.

Right, right, right, there's
your go-to argument,

and you know that.

I'm just an asshole who didn't
wanna stick around, right?

What does it matter
anymore, Roy?

I mean, we've both moved on,
we've made our decision,

and Joe adores you anyway.

- He adores me?
- Yeah.

Well, what'd he say about me?

What do you want, Roy?

I lost you, OK?

I know that I blew it.
I made my peace with it.

Please don't let
that happen with my son.

That's all I'm asking.

He's our boy, Jemma.

[door opens]

- MAN: Dr Wells.
- Just a minute.

Oh, sorry, Brett.

Uh, this is Roy. Roy, Brett.

Brett's head of security
here at Dynow.

Your office is in
a restricted area, Dr Wells,

and is therefore off-limits.

I made it clear to the colonel

that I would accept visitors
when I deemed it appropriate.

I was just dropping off
my résumé, big guy.

It's all good.

Well, we're not hiring
right now, Captain Pulver.

Tell him I'll be there
in a moment.

The colonel's waiting.

What a dick.

I thought you said
you were hiring.

They are. We are.

I am.

What are you talking about?

It's a very specific
security detail.

Black bag stuff, like, covert?

Beyond.

Really?

When do I start?

[lowly] Sooner than you think.

VENTOR: I read the man's résumé
and I see cause for concern.

He doesn't look like much.

Well, no-one ever notices
the housefly

till he fucks up
a good bowl of soup, Brett.

There's something
I don't like about him.

He has that... trait.

What trait is that?

The overachiever who makes up

for a lack of talent
with hustle.

The guy in the playground
I grew up hating.

Vet his service history.

If it's accurate, I want him
tracked and monitored.

If he becomes problematic,
we'll deal with him.

And, uh, reach outside
the normal ranks -

no-one that could
connect back to us.

The more random
the assets, the better.

Find some real freaks.

OK, I'm gonna get out of here,

grab a little vino,
maybe some...

- Just let me fix your hair.
- Ow, ow, Jemma!

I'm bleeding.

Did you get
my birthday present, Roy?

What are you doing here?

- You're acting so weird.
- Did you get it, the present?

- I sent it to you.
- I don't know.

- I haven't checked.
- Well, please do.

I sent it a few days ago.

I will. Of course I will.

VENTOR ON SPEAKERS: Dr Wells,
could I see you for a moment?

ROY: I'm going
to the hospital first.

JEMMA: Be there
in a moment, Colonel.

You drew blood.

Listen to me now, Roy.

OK, look, I know we haven't
seen much of each other lately,

and I know we've gone down
very different paths.

I know, but when I was...

It's important you listen!
Just listen!

Alright, you talk,
you talk, you talk.

OK. I've forgotten
how trying this can be.

OK. Now, I see a lot
of you in Joe. I do.

His determination,

his willingness to succeed
no matter what.

He has some of
your best qualities.

He does.

But he also has your selfishness

and your ability to just
disappear when it suits...

Just when I thought
we were turning a corner.

- ..and run from responsibility.
- OK, alright.

What do you want from me?
Just tell me, just tell me.

I want the man I fell
in love with a long time ago,

the one who gave me a son,

the strong, confident
version of you,

not the Roy who's out
every night getting hammered

and banging a different bimbo.

[door opens]

[whispers]
Remember this - Osiris.

- Osiris.
- OK.

[door opens, closes]

Whoa.

Look. It's Roid and Rage.

You know, carbohydrates
are not your friend, fellas.

[low ominous music]

VENTOR: Dr Wells, are you well?

Yes.

VENTOR:
Does cigar smoke bother you?

No, not at all.

The Spindle.

Well, we're experiencing
a minor delay at the moment.

Define 'minor'.

A week, two weeks at the most.

And why?

R&D is never an exact science.

And yet that's exactly what
we're after - exact science.

Your, uh, friend,
Captain Pulver.

JEMMA: Yes,
he dropped off a résumé.

And whatever possessed him?

Well, I may have mentioned,
in passing,

the military presence
here at the lab.

And whatever possessed you?

The security protocols
of this facility

should not be
the subject of pillow talk.

I can assure you they're not.

Roy and I are not in...

You are the mother
of his child, no?

[Ventor laughs] Huh.

Please, please, sit down.
Make yourself comfortable.

I don't want this to seem
like an interrogation.

I'm not one for long stories.

I'm someone who's always
appreciated brevity in any form.

The shorter, the better.

However, I do have one story
that I've told and retold,

and it's a story that I would
like to share with you now,

if you'll indulge me.

Oh. I happen to like
long stories.

Well, good.
Then we're both in luck.

So, Burma 1979.

I was doing skunk work
for the CIA,

smuggling enough opium
into the country

to backstop
a very bloody military coup

that we would eventually
stage a decade later.

This is all
mostly declassified, mostly.

At any rate, I find myself
in the jungle outside Rangoon,

sniping soldiers
from the KNU Liberation Front

in a three-day running firefight

that had cost me my entire team.

So there I am,
on the verge of being overrun

by a bunch of
machete-wielding rebels

who have terrible attitudes
and even worse hygiene,

and all I have is a Remington
Buckmaster with a shot-out scope

and 36 sleepless hours
in which to squeeze out a win.

Huh!

And then I hear it.

This piercing squeal,

like a steam whistle.

A wild boar.

Make you piss your pants.

The sound alone was enough
to make the rebels scatter.

No-one wants to
fuck with the tusks.

So now this son of a bitch
gets a sniff of me

and comes at me straightaway.

Now, I'd rather put a bullet
in 10 men than kill an animal,

but before I'm even presented
with the do-or-die of it all,

an 18-foot Burmese python
comes down from a banyan tree

and wraps up this raging hog
like a Christmas ham.

Huh! I've never seen
anything like it.

And for the next few hours,
I watch in wonder

as this snake slowly suffocates
and devours this pig.

It was oddly quiet
so I could hear everything,

the boar's bones snapping,

the bellows-like wheeze
as its lungs collapsed

that made it sound like
the snake was laughing.

[chuckles]

It remains the most
awe-inspiring

act of violence
I have ever seen.

But what struck me most,

even as the python
extended its jaws

a full two feet
to devour its prey...

..was the calm
and calculation in its eyes.

And it wasn't till later

when it finally moved
its midsection,

now distended with
the outline of that boar,

that I saw a dozen eggs.

Python eggs.

That boar was about
to trample its nest.

So what I had first perceived
as an act of aggression

was actually an act of love.

The snake killing the boar
not out of malice,

but out of necessity

to prevent its future
from being obliterated.

Hmm.

I enjoyed that story.

Oh, and I enjoy telling it.
I also thought it apt.

How so?

No more visitors to the lab.

No ex-boyfriends, old flames,

or shadowy figures
from the past.

If there's a delay in the work,

I want to be apprised
of it posthaste, yes?

Of course.

Thank you, Doctor.
That's wonderful.

VENTOR: Do watch your step.

[upbeat funky music]

- [laughter]
- ROY: You want another one?

WOMAN: Mm, another one of what?

Hey?

[laughing]

[woman purrs]

[Roy laughs] You are sweet.

[laughter continues]

So how long have you two
known each other?

Oh, we only met today.

He is my newest best friend.

Yes, I am.

Alice is a dental hygienist.

Which is weird
'cause I totally hate teeth.

I mean, just the texture of them
grosses me out.

Then a career
in dentistry seems...

Like the last thing
I should be doing?

Yeah, I know, I know.

But, you know, I'm...
I'm all about a challenge.

I like to, like, push myself
out of my comfort zone.

It's the only way
to grow, really.

ALICE: So true.

So pretty. Isn't he pretty?

- [Roy chuckles]
- ALICE: Mmm.

How long have you guys
known each other?

ROY: Oh, Gabrielle?

For as long as I've been
drinking in this bar.

Since he got back from overseas.

ALICE: Oh, danger! Do tell.

Oh, ladies, there's really
almost nothing to tell.

Then tell us almost nothing.

ALICE: Mm! But can you wait?

'Cause... I gotta pee.

Oh, my God. Hold that.
I'll be right back.

[Alice giggles]

You should take her home, Roy.

[laughs]

You should take her home.

[Roy chuckles]

You're about to ask,

"Why not take you home too,
Gabrielle?"

And I'll say...

.. "Maybe another night."

[Roy sighs]

I'm starting to wear you down.

[speaking French]

We'd have fun, Roy,
but we'll never be in love.

ROY: Oh, love!

- No.
- Why?

- Why?
- Yeah.

Because you're still in love...

..with someone else.

It's in your eyes.

In the sadness I see there.

There is a woman you long for,
but it's not me.

And it's not
our lovely hygienist.

[phone ringing]

Bar, hello. Yeah.

It's for you.

ROY: Who the hell's
calling me now?

GABRIELLE: I don't know.

ROY: Hello?

Roy, can you hear me?

Jemma? What...

Are you still at the lab?
It's almost 3 am.

Jemma, you OK?

- You alright?
- Yeah, I'm fine, but...

What's going on? Listen...

Yeah, listen to me.

I think I might have
to do something drastic,

and if anything happens,

promise me
you'll do what you do...

[static, voice cutting out]

I can't... I can't hear you.

JEMMA: I'm gonna need your help.

ROY: Wait, wait.
What's going on? Are you OK?

JEMMA: I can't explain
it right now.

But you wouldn't
understand anyway.

[line beeping]

Hey, I think I lost you.

Jemma, call me back, OK?

Who was that?

It was my ex and she was...

She sounded pretty worked up.

[door opens and shuts]

It seems our dear doctor
has gone rogue.

Find her.

What did I miss?

ROY: Oh, hi.

Well, you know,
we were talking about

the hottest people
on the planet.

- Naturally, your name came up.
- Oh!

♪ Alcohol, oh, alcohol

♪ Got to put you down

♪ Alcohol, oh, alcohol

♪ Got to put you down

♪ Tried to put you down now

♪ Tried to let you go

♪ Bled to death on alcohol

♪ I don't want you no more

♪ We don't want you no more now

♪ We don't want you no more... ♪

ROY: I should've tried
to call Jemma back,

but I was drunk and horny
and I didn't give a shit.

I didn't know
how important it was.

I didn't know
it would be the last time

that I'd ever hear her voice.

Some things you can't redo.

this whole thing actually is.

JEMMA: Did you get
my birthday present, Roy?

Did you get it, the present?

ROY: I don't know.
I haven't checked.

JEMMA: Well, please do.
I sent it a few days ago.

Remember this - Osiris.

ROY: "Happy birthday, Roy!

"May you always
live your life forward

"and always remember,
time waits for no man.

"XOX..."

How did I never notice this?

[engine roars]

Shit. I missed the exit
to the Chinese restaurant

and the last time
I went anywhere else,

it ended up really bad.

I call this guy Smiley,
for obvious reasons.

[whistling thud]

At least getting shot is simple,
straightforward stuff.

SMILEY: Whoo-hoo!
Yeah, get some!

Who the hell thinks up
shit like this?

Whoo-hoo! Get some!

All I've been doing is running
from my life this entire time.

Now I've got my first real clue

to what the fuck
might be happening to me.

All I need now is a little
ceasefire and somewhere quiet

where I can get
some reading done.

"Osiris and Isis were
devoted husband and wife."

Blah, blah.

"She was an Egyptian
high priestess,

"ideal mother and wife,

"protector of the dead,

"skilled in all magical spells

"for transport through
the afterlife and beyond."

"Osiris was eventually
dismembered into 14 parts

"and scattered across Egypt
by his enemy."

What the fuck kind
of birthday present is this?

JEMMA: Happy birthday, Roy.

May you always
live your life forward.

And remember,
time waits for no man.

ROY: Joe.

What the hell's he doing?

- Shit.
- [video games blip and trill]

He doesn't know his mom is gone
and he's all alone now...

..that I'm the only family
he has left.

ROY: How you doing, pal?

$10 entry, brojam.

$5 per round,
double elimination.

What, uh... what do you got
going here?

Pop-up eSport tourney.

- What is that?
- Competitive video gaming.

We do mostly retro
'80s-based side-scrollers -

'Double Dragon', 'Altered
Beast', 'Street Fighter'.

We're purists, bro,

dedicated to video game's
golden age.

Analog or death.

How old are you?

The big 4-1.

- 41?
- Yeah.

You got a son here somewhere?

I'm childless by choice, bro.

Hey, bud.

Roy, hey. What's up?

You shot way up, huh?

I think you were, like,

the last time I saw you.

- I didn't know you were a gamer.
- Oh, I am not a gamer.

Then what are you doing here?

Actually, I was gonna ask you
the same question, buddy.

Isn't it a school day?

I ditched.

You can do better than this.

Well, I couldn't not come.

Mom would be really mad.
I'll tell you what.

I won't rat you out

OK.

What did you buy

from that boy upstairs,
the older boy?

I didn't buy anything.

Joe, I saw you.

- Oh!
- "Oh!"

JOE: It's an RPG card game.
I traded it with that kid.

You can be, like, all these
different assassins

and mercenaries and stuff.

- It's really cool.
- I bet it is.

So this is what
you got from him?

Mm-hm. What, did you think
I was buying drugs or something?

Or something.

I just turned 11.
I can't do that stuff.

[laughs] You can't do
that stuff ever, pal, OK?

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Alright.
Let's go get some lunch.

We can come back, OK?
I wanna talk to you.

- OK.
- Alright?

The screen is broken anyway.

Oh, pfft. Piece of junk.
Come on.

- What about sushi?
- I don't like sushi.

- You don't?
- No.

- How come?
- [girl exclaims]

- JOE: 'Cause it's sushi.
- Oh, that makes sense.

ROY: I have to tell him now,

tell him that his mother is
gone, tell him that... [sighs]

..he's never gonna see
her again, tell him that...

You know, Mom says
you're a bad-ass.

A bad-ass? She says that?

Well, she doesn't use that word,

but she says you're, like,
a SEAL team guy or something,

like, a soldier.

Mom talks about me?

Yeah, she mentions you a lot.

A lot?

Hey, are you like that guy,
the one from 'Taken',

who has a
"particular set of skills"?

- [laughs] Liam Neeson?
- Yeah.

No. He's kind of
a fake tough guy.

- But, yeah, I'm the real guy.
- Really?

I'm not kidding you. That's me.

Oh, that's so cool.

Hey, Joe.

[melancholy music]

I gotta tell you something, bud,

pretty hard to hear, OK?

I don't have
an easy way to say this.

ROY: 12:50.

Three minutes longer

How?

The inside is all metal.

Then I went below ground.

They're tracking me.

- How are you tracking me?
- Oh! Fuck you!

Fuck me? Where's the device?!

- Up your ass!

Ugh!

Fuck off.

OK, fuck off.

JAKE: Hey, buddy!

OK. When you gotta go,
you gotta go.

Where's this tracker?

I know it's here.

Where is this thing?

Fuck...

Pedro, you wanna help me look?

And then I said,

"I will see your
counterintelligence expert

"and raise you

"a counter-surveillance
specialist, my friend."

You should have seen
the look on his face.

Dude, you're crazy!

- Dave.
- Hey, Roy.

Hey. Sorry to interrupt.

No, I was just telling Chef Jake
about this loudmouth...

Got it, great. Dave, you know
anything about tracking devices?

I don't know anything about
that kind of thing, Roy.

I know everything
about that kind of thing! Hah!

What are we talking?
Traditional transponder?

The kind you put on a person.

A body-based
or an implantable device?

What's better
if you don't want the person

to know they're being tracked?

Well, an implantable version
is loads more reliable.

A body-based device
would be attached to clothing...

Where do you implant it?
Where would you do it?

Most people think
subcutaneously,

just underneath the skin...

Dave, where would you put it?

- Oh, you mean me personally?
- You personally.

Ha-ha! A Dave special.

- What is that stupid face, Dave?
- Hm?

Yeah, yeah.

He gets it.
The teeth, Roy. The teeth!

Ideally, a molar.

You gotta be shitting me.

You look so handsome
with the mask on.

You have nothing to worry about.

Just keep breathing deeply.

It'll all be over soon.

[muffled voices]

So your mouth acts
as a natural transmitter.

- Dave?
- Yes?

Would you be able
to look at a tooth

and detect if there was
a tracking device in it?

I mean, not while it's
inside someone's mouth.

If that tooth were removed,
I could possibly check it out.

Jake, large bottle of baijiu
and a pair of pliers now.

[Roy screaming]

- No, no, no!

- Oh, goddamn this shit!

Don't worry, Dave.
It'll grow back.

Have you lost your mind?!
No, you need some damn help!

You're being so helpful.
What do you think?

- No.
- You sure?

- I'm positive!
- What time is it?

- Shit. It is 12:45.
- Oh, shit. We got two minutes.

No, it's time for you
to stop snatching

your damn teeth
out of your mouth!

There's an irregularity
in that tooth.

- There is?
- Yeah.

Oh, my God. I would need
to see inside of it.

- Roy?
- Yeah.

- Carefully, OK?
- Yeah.

- Careful.
- [crack]

No! No! That's not careful!

Ohh!

Captain,
as first impressions go,

this is truly stand-out stuff.

How you were able to dispatch
the elite level

of high-speed professionals
we threw at you

is really remarkable.

You should be pleased
with the effort

regardless of its outcome.

As someone who bears the same
fraternal scars of battle,

I hope that this defeat,
however bitter,

holds some solace.

He must have
that bullshit memorised

because it's
word-for-fucking-word

and the same
every single fucking time.

Mine.

a man who understands,

Who better to oversee
and implement such a tool?

Exactly.

I am sorry about Dr Wells.

flawed ideology allowed her.

Sweet girl.

Blood on your hands

is what you wanted

Katana? That's Japanese.

Two - whatever I'm stuck in

- 'Street Fighter'?
- That's my favourite.

Mine too.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I like the new
stuff too, though. Uh...

Hey, Roy, you think Mom will be
pissed that I bailed on school?

You know what?

She'll be pissed.

But I'm gonna cover for you, OK?

- OK.
- No more skipping school.

- Cool?
- Cool.

Cool?

Cool.

Let's go play
some 'Street Fighter'.

- GAME: Fight!
- ROY: You're gonna die.

- JOE: No, you're gonna die.
- Yeah?

JOE: You're gonna die and fail.

- ROY: Oh!
- Oh, my bad.

Oh, but I'm still alive!

JOE: This game is so old.

What's it called? 'Glaca'?

- This game is broken.
- No, it's 'Galaga'. 'Galaga'.

Right in your face! Hey!

- What?
- I still won!

I got it. [laughs]

JOE: Ooh!

- [Roy groans]
- JOE: KO!

GAME: You win!

Why do you like
this game so much?

Well, there's a lot of people
that chase you

and you get to kill them.

- That was a power boost.
- That was a cool... arugula.

- Was that the arugula?
- 'Hadouken'!

- GAME: Hadouken!
- ROY: Duking again!

- [Joe sighs]
- Hadouken!

- JOE: How did you...
- Hadouken.

GAME: You win!

This is where it gets hard.

Yeah, get the girl,
get the girl.

JOE: Get her?

Ohh...

Tell you what.

Let me show you how it's done.

JOE: Man, these guys
keep coming.

You have no idea.

JOE: I'm not worried about it.

For a kid who
doesn't go to school

that much, you're pretty smart.

- I have my ways.
- Yeah.

You beat me again!

I'm pretty much the master!

ROY: All the years of this
that I missed...

I want it all back.

He has Jemma's looks,

her smarts, her sense of humour.

Thank God.

Then I see that kid laugh
and I see myself, just a flash.

To see my own face
smiling back at me, it just...

It breaks my heart.

[birds chirping]

I could do this forever,
and I just might.

We've ended this day
just like this

over a dozen times now.

Never gets old.

I like that he's sound asleep
when it all ends.

I like that he never stirs once.

[explosion]

I want to tell him
that I'm his father

like I did before,
but I'm scared.

I'm scared he won't
look at me that way again

and I won't see
what I saw in his eyes,

so I say nothing.

[birds chirping]

I wanna get a boat one day,
take Mom out in it.

She never gets out at all.

I just wish I could rent one.

Could we rent one?

- A boat?
- Yeah.

Take Mom out in it.

- I don't see why not.
- When?

Whenever. We can...

This is when I tell him
we can do it this weekend.

Then he sends his mom a text,

telling her that
we're all going sailing.

This is what usually happens.

Joey...

You know, your mom...

Yeah?

Do you know what your mom
was working on?

The Osiris Spindle.

Osiris Spindle.
You know what that does?

She can't talk about it
'cause it's, like,

super secret and whatever.

But I overheard her say
it could wipe out everything,

like the world, I guess,
if they weren't careful.

Do you believe that?

Yeah, I do.

I wish I didn't.

Your mom trusted me with
something and I let her down.

What do you mean?

Last night, your mom, she, um...

She didn't come home.

I know.

Does she have a new boyfriend?

[chuckles]

No.

No, there's no new boyfriend.

Did she know
I was ditching school?

'Cause it felt like
you were following me.

Yeah, well, I...
Not for that reason.

- Why, then?
- I... I don't know.

I saw you
and I wanted to talk to you.

We could catch up.
We haven't spoken to each other.

Why'd you think
I was following you?

Just something Mom said
this morning.

- Wait, what?
- On the phone. It was weird.

She said if I got into any
trouble that I should find you.

Joe, it's Mom.
Pick up the phone, please.

I didn't know
what she was talking about.

You spoke to Mom today?

If anything strange happens,

I want you to call Roy, OK?

What time?

I don't know. Um...

I'm gonna text you his number,
but call me back. Bye, baby.

Hey, bud, let me see your phone.

ROY: She was still alive
when I woke up.

Ventor hadn't killed her.

[gasps]

She wasn't dead yet.

[explosion]

Don't worry, son.

I'll come back for you.

I'm coming back for both of you.

[momentous music builds]

[groans]

You killed her.

How the hell
did you get in here?

Where is she?

Where is she?!

[melancholy music]

[Brett grunts]

Ugh!

Were you trying
to erase the evidence?

Trying to figure out
what she was doing,

how she was able
to initiate the Spindle...

- Shut your mouth, Brett!
- [gunshots]

Continue...

Continue!

We can't get
the Osiris Spindle to function.

Whatever she did
started a chain reaction

that we can't control.

She sabotaged it somehow
and it's not responding.

VENTOR: Son of a bitch.

The Spindle is working.

It's you. She made you
the missing mass.

Otherwise, how could you
have broken into this facility?

How...

..how many times
have you done this?

A lot.

It works.

[Ventor laughs]

ROY: She was alive at least
14 minutes after I woke up.

I have time to save her.

OK. Let's do this.

Jemma is the only one
who can stop this

and you have at least
14 minutes to reach her.

What the hell. Here we go.

- [Jemma gasps]
- VENTOR: Ugh!

You came for me.

You did it.

You came for me.

How many times did it take?

Just one.

We don't have much time.
Come on.

I couldn't tell you. They were
watching me, monitoring me.

I had to sneak around
the lab all night.

I barely got that book to you.

It was just enough.

[low whirring]

I think Ventor
sent men after Joe.

There's no-one left.
They're all gone, Jemma.

Joe's fine.

He's skipping school to go
to Gamer-Con, but he's OK.

How do you know that?

[tender music]

He's got a crush on a girl
in his class named Camille

who he showed
all the bus routes in school to,

but he's afraid to ask her
to be his girlfriend.

He and his friend Wyatt,

they lied about their age
a couple of weeks ago

to enter a paintball tournament.

You asked him about a welt
on his neck.

He said he got it
from a bug bite.

He, uh... he fractured his wrist
last month skateboarding

and now it makes
this weird, funny...

- Clicking noise.
- ..clicking sound.

He loves dogs, especially pugs,

and he thinks you two
should rescue one.

He did a watercolour version
of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'

about a year ago
for your birthday

'cause he knows
that's your favourite painting.

He thinks Mom works too much,
doesn't smile enough.

Oh, but that boy
loves you so much.

How do I stop this, Jemma?

It's not about stopping, Roy.

It's about restarting.

I made your dimensions,
your DNA,

specific to the missing mass
within the Spindle.

What does that mean?

It means you have to enter
the Spindle's core,

then, theoretically,

the time-space continuum
should reset and resume.

Theoretically?

I don't know.
I honestly don't, Roy.

I mean, this whole thing's
just so cobbled together.

I was just trying
to stop Ventor.

I didn't even know it worked
until you showed up.

You have to remember
I just saw you yesterday.

And I haven't seen you
in forever.

I didn't know what else to do,
where else to turn.

I just knew
the man you were, Roy.

I know the man you are.

But I don't know what'll happen
to you if you go in there.

ROY: I know
what happens if I don't.

You saw it,
the end of the world.

Yeah.

What was it like?

It was everything
you imagined it to be,

only a million times worse.

Will it go forward if I...
walk through this thing?

Is it gonna reset?
Are you and Joe gonna be safe?

If you return your mass
to the core, it should.

You may not make it.

You may cease to be.

Well, then...

..give me a kiss
and tell me you love me.

[music rises]

I love you.

[deep whirring]

Wait for me, yeah?

I will.

What the hell. Here we go.
