Original subtitles

It started as a gentle breeze,

and grew into a hurricane,

It swept south

from the granite hills,

across farmlands,

in small towns,

across schoolyards

and factories,

It's the winds of change,

my friends,

And they will not die down

until they have lifted

this campaign

into the Oval Office!

Now, ,, The political insiders

may not have seen the future,

But I can say, in all humility,

that I have,

It is full of hope and promise,

It is a future

of integrity in government

and prosperity,

(APPLAUSE, CHEERING)

And that future is now,

my friends,

And I want to thank you,

On to South Carolina!

(INDISTINCT)

Okay, everyone, he's here,

He's coming,

We did it, everybody, We did it!

(CHUCKLES)

Thank you,

Thank you very much,

All of us share in this,

each and every one of you,

Thank you,

It was a great, great win,

All right, listen everybody,

I want to introduce

somebody, okay?

Come in,

This is Frank McKenna,

Special Agent,

Frank McKenna

of the United States

Secret Service,

Agent McKenna

and his small band

of merry men back here

have just been assigned

to our candidate,

and I think we know

what this means,

It means the Senator here

has been officially anointed

-as the front-runner

in this little race,

-MAN: Yeah!

JON TARKMAN:

Now, let's buckle up

and get to South Carolina,

Well, we did it, boys,

I mean, we really did it,

We showed them all

we're for real, Cheers!

You are the man,

I can't wait to see the polls,

We are going to get

a hell of a bounce

off of this,

Yeah, I wonder

how Governor Stanton's

feeling right now,

Oh, you mean

the ex-front-runner?

I think he's choking

on our dust about now,

that's how he's feeling,

This is no time to get cocky,

He's got a war chest

and a huge organization,

We let him off the canvas now,

he could deck us

in the next round,

MICHAEL DOWD: Well,

here's your thank you list

for the party leaders

in New Hampshire,

The new draft

of tomorrow morning's speech,

And, ,, Oh, here's the copy

on that 60 second spot

we want to run

in South Carolina,

Yes, yes, yes, yes,

Thank you, Michael, and, ,,

Believe me,

I will get to all of these,

but, right now, gentlemen,

I think I need

a little time alone,

to savor tonight's win,

He's not turning in, is he?

I promised Will Sunderland

a one-on-one,

Will Sunderland can kiss my ass,

Wallpaper the plane with them,

I want to make sure

everybody's on the same page,

(SCREAMING)

MAN: Whoa!

-What was that?

-MAN: Just a little

turbulence,

MAN: That was something else,

CO-PILOT: All systems green,

Captain,

No damage I can see,

MCKENNA: it's okay, folks,

We just had a little

lightning strike,

-Pilot says there's no damage

to the aircraft,

-(SENATOR MUTTERING)

There's nothing

to worry about,

Senator, are you okay?

I'm fine, I'm fine, Thank you,

MAN: Fresh drink?

No, no, I'm all right,

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Who are you?

What are you, ,,

What are you doing here?

Agent McKenna's wrong,

The lightning strike

did damage the plane,

though no one,

not even the pilot

knows about it,

In exactly two hours

and 11 minutes,

on final descent,

one of the engines

will malfunction

and catch fire,

-forcing the pilot to make

an emergency crash landing,

-(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Seven passengers will die,

Including Senator

Wyndom S, Brody,

CONTROL VOICE:

There is nothing wrong

with your television,

Do not attempt

to adjust the picture,

We are now controlling

the transmission,

We control the horizontal

and the vertical,

We can deluge you

with a thousand channels

or expand one single image

to crystal clarity

and beyond,

We can shape your vision

to anything our imagination

can conceive,

For the next hour,

we will control

all that you see and hear,

You are about to experience

the awe and mystery

which reaches from

the deepest inner mind

to The Outer Limits,

We live in an egocentric age

where many of us believe

we are the sun

in our own universe,

But what happens

when these illusions

collide with reality?

-(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

-MCKENNA: McKenna, sir,

(CLEARS THROAT)

Yeah,

SENATOR: Well, where is she?

How did she get on board

and what was she doing

in my quarters?

Wyn, it's okay, all right?

Just calm down,

Agent McKenna and the boys,

they took a good look

around the aircraft,

they couldn't find anybody,

Okay?

We searched

the entire plane, sir,

we checked out

all the passengers,

Yeah, but she was here,

I saw her,

I, ,, I talked to her,

And nobody is denying

that you saw, ,,

Something, Senator,

You said you talked to her?

I may have said something,

Did she say anything back?

(SIGHS) I, ,,

-I don't recall,

-Yeah, and you know what?

It's perfectly understandable,

The Senator, here,

has been surviving on like, ,,

(CHUCKLES) Two hours sleep,

tops, right?

Like the past week or so,

You know, it's been,

you know,

one hell of a drill, right?

I mean, I'm surprised,

to be honest,

that the guy is not seeing,

you know,

green elephants drinking

banana daiquiris, okay?

You know, I must say

I am impressed, Agent McKenna,

with the way your men

responded to the situation,

Absolutely, You guys were great,

And you know, I can see now,

the value of having you

on this campaign,

Absolutely,

Hopefully, the Senator

does realize

that we take our

responsibilities seriously,

Oh, I do,

I do, Agent McKenna,

Mmm,

Oh, and, may I say sir,

it's a pleasure to serve

a distinguished candidate

like yourself,

Thank you,

Listen, like, I can't say

I love your timing, okay?

Sorry?

-Will Sunderland here, ,,

-(DOOR OPENS)

Gentlemen,

You invite a reporter like

Will Sunderland

to come on board the airplane,

and I know it's to take

our guy through his paces

and blah, blah, blah,

But, you know what?

We haven't even had a chance

to get our bearings yet,

I mean, this guy, ,,

Use your head,

This guy's a barracuda, okay?

Are you telling me

that I should have expected

a Senator

to start ranting like that?

Look, I'm good, Jon,

But I'm not that good,

(MOUTHING)

We should rig primaries

more often,

Hmm, well,

if this is the incentive, ,,

I just might, (CHUCKLES)

-(SENATOR CHUCKLING)

-I don't know how wise it is

to keep doing this,

It's just sex, Catherine,

Danielle and I don't have sex

anymore,

-An incurable romantic, ,,

-(SNICKERING)

To the end,

(SIGHS)

Tonight validates everything,

Everything that I've been

trying to do,

Everything we've been

trying to do,

Oh, that son of a bitch

thought he had it won,

Hell, everybody thought

he had it won,

But I showed him,

I showed 'em all,

Wait, wait, what are you doing?

That is one of the best lines

in the whole speech,

Oh, come on, it's says

the same thing over there,

(SIGHS)

Oh, hi,

Hey, Will Sunderland,

as I live and breathe,

Take a load off, buddy,

Thank you,

Hey, you want some popcorn?

No thanks,

About this alleged stowaway?

What stowaway?

There isn't any stowaway,

SUNDERLAND: I saw

your candidate come rushing

out of his quarters,

-Oh, please,

-I saw the look on his face!

He believed there was

a stowaway,

Yeah, well, he had to

make that convincing,

didn't he?

Make what convincing?

Well, the Senator was putting

the Secret Service boys

through their paces, okay?

-Just seeing if they're

up to snuff, that's all,

-Ahem,

It's true, it was just a test,

Pretty strange test,

Hey, all presidents

end up testing

their Secret Service details,

But your boy is not president,

(SCOFFS) Not yet,

But we're starting to like

our chances,

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

Here you go, Senator,

I hope you find we've

hit the mark,

And, when you get a chance,

Sunderland is anxious

for some time,

All right,

give me a few minutes

to look over the speech,

and then we'll talk,

All right,

Don't bother to call in

the cavalry,

They won't be able to see me,

And no, I am not

a figment of your imagination,

Who the hell are you?

A visitor from the future,

106 years in the future

to be precise,

But that's crazy,

I am here

on the most important mission

a time traveler

has ever embarked upon,

Mission?

What mission?

To save a great president

from a terrible accident,

You're running out of time,

Senator,

One of the engines

on this aircraft will fail

in exactly one hour

and four minutes,

And you will go down with it

unless you do

exactly as I tell you,

No!

SENATOR: (FROM OTHER ROOM)

No, what you're telling me, ,,

-Who's he talking to?

-That's a damn good question,

I have no idea,

No,

No,

Hey, Senator, How you doing?

Listen, anything I can

help you out with?

Sir?

(RADIO STATIC)

(MAN TALKING ON RADIO)

Senator, hello,

To what do we owe

the honor?

(SIGHS)

I just, ,, Couldn't sleep,

Anything we can do for you, sir?

Well, that lighting strike

gave us quite a scare,

We had a huge storm front

to contend with,

But don't worry,

I'll get you to South Carolina

safe and sound, almost on time,

So, there's nothing

wrong with the airplane?

Nothing at all,

Passing out of the storm front

as we speak,

You can rest assured

we'll have a smooth flight

from here on,

(THUNDER RUMBLING)

Good,

Hey, there you are,

Did you get a chance

to go over the speech yet?

Wyndom?

Senator,

Would now be a good time

for our little chat?

Yes Will, come on,

Thank you,

Thought you were ducking me,

(CHUCKLES)

You know, one of the things

I wanted to ask you about,

Senator, is, ,,

-Well, that old phrase,

"Man of the people,"

-Mmm,

It really does seem

to apply to you,

But at the same time

you've been embracing

the Silicon Valley and in fact

the entire hi-tech industry,

I'm wondering, are the two

really compatible?

Well, technology is integral

to our country's future

and well-being,

It's what's driving

this economy,

And it is the very foundation

of future growth,

You've become

quite the internet zealot

of late,

Well, the online environment

is the only world that I know,

where we can all truly

come together as equals,

What about issues of privacy?

Off the record?

Just between you and me?

All right,

There is no privacy anymore,

Not to be morbid, Senator,

but when they find your body

you're completely decapitated,

So what are you going

to do about it?

What are you looking at?

What?

Uh, nothing,

Not a thing,

What were we talking about?

Do you really think that people,

ordinary citizens,

as you like to call them,

won't be concerned

about their loss of privacy?

Ordinary citizens

have nothing to hide,

Really?

Senator, you're wife's

on the phone from Michigan,

You can take it

in the conference room,

Yes,

SENATOR: If you'll excuse me?

Absolutely,

-What line is she on?

-JON: She's not,

There's no phone call,

I need to talk to you,

You need to talk to me?

Yeah,

Okay, (CLEARS THROAT) Talk,

It's been a great week, Senator,

We notched up

our first win, down there,

I mean, it's been a great week,

But I tell you something,

we've got a long way

to go here,

That may be something

of an understatement,

JON: Me, I know

how I'm feeling,

I'm feeling all

prickly and jumpy,

Like I've got this, ,,

This itch I can't scratch,

But, I'll tell you something,

a few beers,

the love of a good woman,

some sleep, I tell you,

I will be as right as rain,

Will Sunderland's not happy,

Well, why don't you go

charm him, then?

All right,

Senator,

Jon, are you telling me

I need to get laid?

(CHUCKLES) No, no, sir,

All I'm saying is,

we have another big day

coming up tomorrow

and it might be a good idea

if you try to get

a little bit of rest,

That's all I'm saying,

I'm not tired,

Well,

Maybe you should spend

a little bit of time

going over your speech,

How about that?

What you getting at, Jon?

Come on,

quit beating around the bush,

Let me have it,

Listen, I, ,,

We think that it might be

a good idea if you stay here,

In this room,

Or in your quarters until

this plane touches down

in Columbia, ,,

What're you afraid of?

Hmm?

You afraid of Sunderland,

is that it?

(SENATOR SCOFFS)

-Sunderland is just

another reporter, ,,

-Okay, listen, this man is, ,,

Oh, oh, oh, okay, okay,

He's not just

another reporter,

He's doing

an in-depth profile on me,

We have granted him access,

Well, Jon, I have talked to

thousands of reporters

in my time,

And I can tell you, ,,

And I'm just telling you

that I would feel

a lot more comfortable

if you would not

talk to that man,

Okay, until you've had a chance

to just recharge

your batteries, all right?

Cause you are, ,,

You are running on fumes,

okay, we all are,

What is it?

What's the matter?

(CLEARS THROAT)

Okay, okay, ,,

I won't talk to Sunderland

till after I've showered

and shaved and all of that,

Thank you,

If you don't mind, Jon,

I'd kind of like to be alone,

Yeah, all right,

Is he okay?

Well, I don't know, Catherine,

You tell me,

Cause, you're the one

who's sleeping with him,

I'm telling you

it's none of your business,

Listen, I am the campaign

manager, okay?

I'm the manager,

Everything the man

says or does

is my business, Everything,

What, are you in love with him?

(SCOFFING) Oh, please,

I am not a fool, Jon,

Well, good,

Stop acting like one, then,

-This has to stop!

-I told you, I'm on a mission,

If you were real,

I would be able to, ,,

To touch you,

The technology which allows me

to be here

is way beyond anything

that exists here today,

Suffice it to say

I'm as real as you are,

though I can only travel

through time

as a projection,

Well then, how come

I'm the only one

that can see you?

I'm keyed to your

neural signature,

Your brain waves,

In a sense, you yourself

are projecting me,

Well then, why don't you

just key into Jon

and Catherine's, ,,

-And the pilot's

neural signature, ,,

-I can't save them,

I can only save you,

You're more important than

you can possibly understand,

Your agenda for the future

will be the first genuinely

futuristic legislation

of the 21st century,

It will usher in

a new age of enlightenment

for all of humankind,

A new age of enlightenment?

Yes,

But it will only happen

if you're elected president,

It's your skills as a leader,

your vision,

your wisdom that will

bring it to fruition,

That's why I must get you

off of this plane,

But, it, ,,

It doesn't make any sense,

How come I die now

when I didn't die

the first time around?

I know the concept of

time travel

is difficult for someone

who is not of that era,

-Uh-huh,

-But, ,,

A new time-line

can be triggered

when history is tampered with,

(STAMMERS) Wait, you've lost me,

In the original time-line,

your agenda helps to foster

an environment which allows

time travel to develop,

And we, in the future,

are so grateful for you

for this,

So grateful, in fact, that, ,,

One of my peers

traveled back in time

to congratulate you

at your first primary win,

Wait, you mean

there's another time traveler

around here some place?

TIME TRAVELER: There was,

Back there,

at your victory party

in New Hampshire,

There was a man

who approached you,

He couldn't shake your hand

but he did delay your exit,

I'm sorry, I don't remember,

Perhaps, this will help,

(CROWD APPLAUDING, CHEERING)

(INAUDIBLE)

What just happened?

That was so real,

I put the image in your mind,

But how?

As I told you,

my appearance to you

is triggered by a

neural response,

Okay, look, what's important is,

by inserting himself

in the moment,

the time traveler was able to

delay your flight

by several seconds,

Instead of the lightning

narrowly missing the plane

as it did the first time around,

the lightning struck the plane,

And that means

your friend altered

the course of time?

Not just of time,

Of history,

SENATOR: Son of a bitch,

Why did he do that?

Yes, yes, I understand,

Still, I, ,,

SUNDERLAND: How's the

candidate doing?

-He's good,

-Terrific,

He's working on his speech,

Yeah, he's fine,

Is there any questions, Will,

that you'd like to

ask me, maybe?

No, I was hoping to get

a word with the candidate,

Look, you'll get

your one on one, but, ,,

Later,

Look, I just talked

to the pilot,

He swears this plane's okay,

The lightning strike melted

a critical bundle of wires

near the terminal block,

These wires will short circuit

when the landing gear is

deployed,

Causing the engine

to catch fire and shut down,

Oh, my God,

Senator, you're back,

Everything okay?

SENATOR: Bear with me

a moment,

There is something

called a terminal block

on this plane,

with wires running

in and around it,

Am I right?

That's correct,

Now, would it be possible

for the lightning

to have somehow, ,,

Fried the insulation off of

one or more of these wires

causing them

to eventually short circuit?

If there was

any electrical problem

it would show up on, ,,

It would show up

on your instruments, yes,

I know that, but, ,,

It wouldn't show up

on your instruments if, ,,

It hadn't short circuited yet, Would it?

What are you getting at,

Senator?

Well, let's just say

the short circuit, ,,

I don't know how exactly

it works, but, ,,

Well, it causes

one of the engines

to catch fire and burn out

-just as we are preparing

to land, ,,

-Wait a minute, hold on there,

With all due respect, Senator,

-I believe you're letting

your imagination run places, ,,

-No, no, no, no,

I think this plane's

in very capable hands,

-Let's just let

these gentlemen, ,,

-Just listen to me!

Now, I believe

that this airplane has been

seriously compromised

and that we should take

whatever actions appropriate

to save ourselves,

I'm going to have to ask you

to return to your seat, sir,

And I am telling you

that this airplane

is going to crash,

No, Senator, it isn't,

Get him out of here,

No, ,, At least check the wires,

There's no way to check

the terminal block wiring

when we're in-flight,

Even if we could,

there's no reason to,

-Get him out of here,

-At least consider

the possibilities, then,

-Let's go,

-Look, I am not

making this up!

I can't tell you

how I know this,

but it is going to happen

and you have to believe me, ,,

Senator, it is my job

to protect you,

even if it means

protecting you from yourself,

Let's go,

JON: The two of you

have worked with the Senator

a lot longer than I have,

all right?

So, you tell me,

Is a man a coke hound?

You know,

where's all this paranoia

coming from?

-I don't know,

-He just needs some sleep,

like you said,

Oh, stop it, Don't feed me

that crap, all right,

I don't want to hear it,

Listen, it is not too late

for me to drop this nutbar,

go hang my hat

on another campaign, okay?

Jon, I swear to you,

I've never seen Wyndom

act like this,

-Me neither,

-Fine, then what the hell

is going on?

And any other

mini-psychotic breaks

that I should know about?

I am not going to let this man

take apart everything

that I have

worked my ass off here

trying to build,

-Listen, we land

in less than an hour,

-Yeah,

So, my guess is,

as soon as we touch down,

all of this will be over with

and he'll be back to normal,

Great, He better be

or he's going to be

minus one campaign manager,

We, ,, You only have

27 minutes, Mr, President,

If I die tonight

as you say I'm going to,

does Governor Stanton

win the nomination?

He does, doesn't he?

The son of a bitch

probably goes on

to be elected,

If history isn't put

back on track,

a weak president

does get elected,

Terrorism escalates,

riots break out, ,,

The stage is set

for a tyrant to emerge,

A tyrant?

Someone who only pretends

to be acting out of concern

for his people,

but is acting for himself,

Someone who radically subverts

the ideals of freedom

and democracy

and turns the country

into a totalitarian state,

It's Stanton, isn't it?

I know it's Stanton!

Un-freaking-believable!

This new America, ,,

The citizens are constantly

monitored and observed

by the government,

One has to be careful

where one goes, what one says,

who one talks to,

There is no enlightenment,

No renaissance,

Then, the future

of this country

is entirely in my hands,

Yours and yours alone,

I could do it, you know,

I could be the leader

that you describe,

Of course you could,

All my life I've been fighting

for the respect of my peers,

Senator Lightweight,

they used to call me,

(CHUCKLES)

They didn't know what I know,

Deep down inside

I have always had the brains

and the vision, and the, ,,

Guts to be a great leader,

I just never had

the opportunity to show it,

(SLAPS KNEE)

Until now,

What do I have to do

to become the next president

of these United States?

You must leave the plane,

How do I do that?

How do I leave a plane

at 30,000 feet?

It's simple,

You steal the Secret Service

agent's firearm,

shoot out the window

of the emergency exit,

Decompression pulls the door

from its hinges,

All that's left

is for you to, ,, Jump,

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Crazy, absolutely crazy,

Senator, may I sit down?

Sit, stand, what do I care?

(SIGHS)

I can tell you're very upset

about something,

but we have

a little situation here,

(SCOFFS) I'll say

we have a little situation,

Will Sunderland is demanding

to speak with you,

Will you forget Will Sunderland?

In about 20 minutes,

one of the engines

on this plane

is going to catch fire,

forcing us to make

a crash landing,

People are going to die,

Michael,

Maybe even you,

19 minutes,

You're crazy,

You are crazy if you think

that I am going to jump

out of this plane,

-That would be suicide

for sure,

-No, it won't,

We have the technology

to rescue you,

What technology?

All I can tell you is,

once you are outside

this aircraft,

you will be rescued

by means so advanced,

it'll seem like magic,

Oh,

Maybe he's right,

Maybe there is trouble

with this flight,

Maybe he's psychic,

Yeah, and maybe,

my golden retriever

can sing

Carmen,

Do you mind telling me

what the Senator is doing

over there?

WILL: Appears that he's having

a conversation,

but the question is, with whom?

I don't see anybody,

(INAUDIBLE)

I'm going for a beer, excuse me,

If I shoot this emergency exit

door in this altitude, ,,

I'll end up killing

everyone on board,

Instead of

seven passengers dying,

they'll all die!

Great causes require

great sacrifices,

Oh, ,,

You know, why don't you

just go back in time

to my victory party

and you tell that, ,,

Idiot friend of yours

not to congratulate me,

Time travel is unforgiving,

No two time travelers

can be in the same moment

in the past,

Hello, Senator,

What do you see out there?

I thought someone

should tell you

that your campaign staff

is starting to get

a little worried,

Oh?

I think they're

getting worried because

you look so worried,

You mind my asking, ,,

What exactly is it

that you're so anxious about?

Will, one of the requirements

of being a great president

is the ability, ,, No, no, no,

The courage, ,,

To make tough decisions,

Would you agree?

What is it, Senator,

are you thinking about

dropping out of the race?

Dropping out of the, ,,

No, I can't drop out

of the race!

My role in the future

of the country

is too critical,

I see, (CLEARS THROAT)

What then is it

that you have to decide?

Who lives, and who dies,

What is it? Senator,

Wyndom, why are you

acting like this?

I saw you sitting there crying,

Don't come any closer,

What's wrong with you?

You could say, ,,

I've seen the future,

What does that mean?

What does that mean,

you've seen the future?

The work that needs to be done

is more vital

than you could ever imagine,

Do you still think

you're going to be elected

president?

Is that what you think,

after the way

you behaved tonight?

No,

I just want you to know, ,,

I just wanted to say, ,,

How much I appreciate

-everything you've

done for me, ,,

-Stop! Stop it, stop it!

You sound like

you're saying goodbye,

And Jon told me what happened

in the cockpit,

Now, do you really think

this plane's going to crash?

This plane isn't going to crash,

The only thing

that's crashing around here

is your campaign,

Is that what you want?

Do you want to drop out

of the race,

throw it all away?

I don't know, ,,

What to do,

What do you want to do?

What I want to do

and what I need to do

are two different things,

What does that mean?

Can you explain it to me?

If you tell me

what the problem is,

I can help you,

I care about you, Wyndom,

more than you'll ever know,

Now, do you still want to be

elected president?

It's all I ever wanted,

Then maybe it isn't too late,

We're talking about

a very contained

situation here

and if you could just

pull yourself together

Jon, Michael, myself,

we'd still be here for you,

But you have to

go back to being

the Wyndom Brody I know,

The Wyndom Brody I believe in,

Can you do that?

12 minutes,

Jon, we need to talk,

Sorry, boys,

I'm fresh out of talk

at the moment,

Mr, Sunderland seems to think

the Senator may be

planning something

that might endanger

this aircraft,

Oh yeah? Like what?

I don't know, He wouldn't say,

He just made

this unsettling comment

about having to decide

who lives and who dies,

Well, life is unsettling,

Or hadn't you noticed?

Well, do you think

the Senator believes

this plane's going to crash?

(MICHAEL CLEARS THROAT)

Yes, yes, he does,

He told me one of the engines

was going to catch fire

in 20 minutes,

Oh my God,

That was about 10 minutes ago,

I think we need to see

the Senator,

What is it?

What do you want?

We need to see Senator Brody,

-What about?

-Just get out of the way,

Catherine,

-Is he in there?

-Yes, yes, he's all right,

Really, ,,

We're going to need to see him,

-Excuse us,

-Go ahead,

MCKENNA: (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Senator, it's Agent McKenna,

May I come in?

TIME TRAVELER:

When they find your body,

you're completely decapitated,

MCKENNA: Senator,

open the door please,

TIME TRAVELER:

I'm as real as you are,

-Great causes require

great sacrifices,

-(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

You only have 27 minutes,

Mr, President,

Nineteen minutes, ,,

Twelve minutes,

You're running out of time,

Senator,

You must leave the plane,

MCKENNA:

Please open this door,

MCKENNA: Senator Brody?

SENATOR: It's open,

Come on in, gentlemen,

Oh, Catherine,

would you mind getting me

a copy of my speech?

I've had some

additional thoughts,

Seven minutes,

Listen, Frank, ,,

May I call you Frank?

Agent McKenna is, ,,

You know, it's too formal,

-Is Frank okay?

-Yes, sir, Yes, sir, Um, ,,

I wanted to ask you

about something to said

to Mr, Sunderland

a little while ago,

Ah, what'd I say?

Oh, oh, yes,

I was talking about

making decisions,

You know,

who lives and who dies,

I was just speaking

figuratively,

You know, running a campaign

is like waging war,

You know that, Frank, Huh?

I may have to fire

someone now and then,

that's all,

SENATOR: Michael!

Over here,

Don't I have a speech

in front of the South Carolina

Women's Caucus

this morning?

Yes, sir,

Well?

Jonny, We're on the bubble now,

so we have to stay

close to the ground

on this thing,

SENATOR: After New Hampshire,

they'll be holding us

to a different standard,

I don't understand,

What are you doing?

Ah, thank you, All right,

let's get focused now,

What are our priorities?

Who do I talk to next?

Me, you have to talk to me,

Senator,

I don't know

what's going on here,

but it doesn't wash,

What do you mean, Will?

What do I mean?

I'll tell you what,

Just a little while ago

you were like a little boy,

half frightened

out of your mind,

having conversations

with people who weren't there,

I was?

-Are you sure about that?

-Of course I'm sure,

I saw you,

We all saw you, didn't we?

Didn't we, Jon? Huh?

Oh, I get it,

Everybody's back

on the gravy train, hmm?

Well, too late for that, folks,

This train has derailed,

TIME TRAVELER:

You're running out of time,

You have less than

three minutes

to leave this aircraft,

Three minutes before you die,

Agent McKenna, would you

please describe for me,

and for everybody here,

Senator Brody's behavior

over the last couple of hours?

It is my job

to protect the candidate,

not to evaluate him,

Oh, no,

You're not going to

get away with this,

TIME TRAVELER:

I thought I was

getting through to you,

I thought you understood

what was at stake,

PILOT:

Ladies and gentlemen,

we are making

our final approach

into Columbia Metro Airport,

Please take your seats

and fasten your seat-belts,

We should be on the ground

in approximately six minutes,

When the plane crash lands

short of the runway,

you will be killed,

Your legacy will be destroyed,

Michael, I, ,,

I think we need to rethink

some of this,

TIME TRAVELER:

If you're going to

save yourself

you must act now!

Individuals are important,

One person can make

a difference,

But, individuals

do not take precedence

over the common good,

See, ,,

The people, ,,

The people need to know

that we are all in this

together,

What the public needs

is you, Mr, President,

Your country needs you!

The future depends on you!

Unfortunately!

People don't want to

make a sacrifice anymore,

TIME TRAVELER:

I can't understand you,

Senator,

SENATOR: There's a, ,,

There's a price to be paid,

A price to be paid

for anything that we do!

30 seconds,

It's for the common good,

25, 24,

I'm not sure

I follow you, Senator,

19, 18, 17,, ,

I have a choice to make,

And that choice

involves sacrifice,

And what are you sacrificing?

TIME TRAVELER: Yes!

There's a price to be paid,

The window is closing, Senator,

Your lives!

MCKENNA: You don't

want to do this!

Put your guns down

and put 'em down now!

TIME TRAVELER: Thank God!

I knew you'd come

to your senses,

That's it, Move toward the door,

TIME TRAVELER: (WHISPERING)

There's nothing they can do,

Senator, you don't know

what you're doing,

I know precisely what I'm doing,

Everybody,

back in your seats now!

Oh, my God, have mercy,

Now, hurry!

MCKENNA: Hang on!

The winds of change!

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING) Wyndom, no!

(SCREAMING)

(SIREN BLARING IN DISTANCE)

What the, ,,

SENATOR: It worked!

God, almighty, it worked!

(CHUCKLING)

It worked!

I knew you'd try to

save your own skin,

I was counting on it,

In the original time-line

you were elected president,

But it was no

Age of Enlightenment,

Your selfishness,

your egotism, your paranoia,

all combined

to turn you into the tyrant

I was talking about,

I traveled back in time

to save the future, ,,

From you,

(GASPS)

Then, why, ,,

Why, ,,

Why did you rescue me?

Rescue you?

Yeah?

Who says I rescued you?

(SCREAMING)

CONTROL VOICE:

No idea is so strong,

it should not be tested by doubt

and no man so powerful
