Hey, Karl,

I just heard,

I can't believe it,

No notice, nothing?

I guess giving them

24 hours a day

for the last three years

wasn't good enough,

What did they say?

The company appreciated

my vast contributions

to the cps 1200

and hoped I would find

my Severance package

satisfactory,

Bastards,

Vast contributions?

Without you, this whole machine

wouldn't exist,

I don't think Ted

Would agree with you,

Well, everybody knows

the cps is your baby,

So what happened?

I insisted the machine's ready

for its first trial,

Ted wants to re-Run

all the theoreticals,

Take three months, maybe more,

You know Ted... He's cautious,

Cautious?

If Ted ran the space program

we'd still be orbiting

chimpanzees,

This isn't about safety,

It's about Ted's ego,

He wants me gone

before the damn thing's unveiled

so I don't get the spotlight,

I'm sorry we're losing you,

Look, I'm late for a meeting,

Give me a call tomorrow,

We'll grab a drink,

Three more months

of mathematical calculations,

What a waste,

Uh-Uh, Ted,

You do the math,

Set it for two days from now,

Of course, if I'm wrong, ,,

my molecules will be scattered

across time,

( buzzer sounding )

Yes! It worked,

Oh,

Karl!

Karl,

Andrew, what are you doing here?

I just came from the Mach...

You've got to get out of here,

The police are looking for you,

What do the police want?

Go!

Susan?

Susan,

Susan, you home?

Oh, my God,

Hey,

Stop! Hey!

Stop!

( 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,

Nothing in our world is

more unyielding

than the inexorable March

of time,

But what will happen

when man finds a way

to manipulate

that awesome force?

Susan,

9-1-1, emergency operator,

No, no, no,

I couldn't have,

I couldn't have,

I got to go back,

Come on, come on,

I got to travel back to Monday,

( buzzer sounding )

I'm back,

Susan!

Andrew?

I saw your car out front,

What are you doing home?

I wanted to see you,

Something happened

at work today,

No, don't tell me

that you were...

Why do you always jump to

the most negative conclusion?

Well, I'm sorry,

but you're never home this early

and I know you're not

getting along with Ted,

It has nothing to do with Ted,

Then what is it?

Look, ,,

it's just, it's complicated,

You were fired, weren't you?

Okay, all right, yes,

I got laid off,

Andrew, I'm sorry,

I know how much

this job meant to you,

I really thought you found

your niche this time,

Yeah, well, so did I,

Look,

Susan, when I joined

Anderson technology

they put me in charge

of developing

a chronological phase-Shifter,

It's a fancy name for what's

essentially a time machine,

A time machine,

It allows the user to be

transported through time,

So why after three years

are you telling me this now?

Because I tested it today, ,,

and it works,

By testing it,

you're saying what?

You traveled back in time?

Forward, actually,

I went ahead two days,

And?

And, ,,

I was so overwhelmed

that it actually worked

that I came straight home

to share the news with you

and, ,,when I got here, ,,

yes?

When I got here,

you were lying on the floor

in the den,

You were in a pool of blood,

You'd been shot,

And killed,

Andrew, I want you

to tell me the truth,

Have you been drinking?

Do you understand

what I'm telling you?

If we don't divert

the time stream

in two days

you are going to die,

Now, our best bet is

we change the circumstances

leading up to your murder,

That's it,

We have to leave town,

Andrew, Andrew,

listen to yourself,

You tell me

that you've been fired,

that you beamed yourself

into the future

and you found me dead,

I have a hard time

swallowing this,

I know, it sounds insane,

But you have to believe me,

Remember that night

you lost $3,000 in a poker game

and you told me

you'd been mugged?

That was a long time ago, Susan,

If something bad happens

you fabricate some wild story,

No, this is different,

How is this different?

Because I'm not lying,

Because This is the truth!

Okay, okay, we'll talk

about it, all right?

Don't you patronize me!

I'm trying

to save your life here,

So am I, Andrew,

So am I,

"Did I actually break

the temporal Barrier,

"or did I imagine

the whole thing?

"Am I succumbing

to some horrible psychosis?

"Could I ever kill my own wife?

"I have my weaknesses,

god knows,

"But could I possibly descend

to that kind of violence?

"is there anything in this world

that would drive me

to do something so heinous?"

I'm just telling you

what he told me,

So there is no time machine?

I have no idea what's

going on in his head, Karl,

Obviously the stress

of losing his job

has been too much,

Anyways, I would

really appreciate it

if you kept this between us,

Thanks,

I'll call you tomorrow,

You talking to Karl?

I was worried about you,

So you sneak

behind my back,

you talk to him,

He told me this time machine is

a pet project of yours,

but that it's just a pipedream

at this point,

Why would you make up

such an outrageous story?

It is not, ,,it is not a story!

Why can't you believe me?

I am trying, but... trying!

Oh, my god,

You shouldn't

have to try!

I don't know

what's going on, Andrew,

but I can't do this anymore,

You can't do what?

I can't live like this,

What are you saying?

I think we need to spend

some time apart,

No, ,,no, no, no, Susan,

We just have to make it

through the next few days

And everything will be fine,

Andrew, everything is

not going to be fine,

I'm not even saying

that it's all you,

I mean, sometimes people, ,,

look, I can't go on pretending,

If you don't mind, I'd like you

to sleep downstairs tonight,

No, Susan...

If you don't, I will,

I have to clean up this mess,

No, look, uh, ,,

I'll, uh, ,, let me do that,

That's all right,

Good night, Andrew,

"the jolts of pain

"Are increasing in Frequency

and intensity,

"At times,

they're almost unbearable...

"Like being stabbed in

the brain with a molten blade,

"Apparently some kind

of neural reaction

"to the time-Travel process,

"Maybe Ted was right,

"What's worse are the visions,

"Nightmarish images

about Susan's death,

"Images I can't quite decipher,

or don't want to,

"I don't know if they're

flashes of the past

"or the future, or both,

"I've contemplated

leaving town by myself,

"if I am the killer,

then Susan would be safe,

"But what if I'm not the killer?

"The irony is, either way

I'm the only one

who can save her,"

Morning,

Morning,

How are you feeling?

I'm okay,

Susan,

about last night, ,,

look, I'm sorry

that you had

to hear all that,

Maybe it's a blessing

that it's all out,

We have to figure out

how to protect you,

Andrew, please,

We still have

more than 24 hours...

You're really scaring me,

you know that?

I'm trying to scare you,

If I could just get you

into the lab,

you could see the machine,

You should make an appointment

with Dr, Berger this afternoon,

I don't need to see

a psychotherapist,

You need to talk to somebody,

I need to talk to you,

Karl vandermeer gave you

the corporate line, Susan,

He wouldn't tell you the truth

about the cps 1200,

I really don't know

what else to say,

Say you believe me,

Look, I have

some prospective buyers

meeting me in 20 minutes,

Why don't you get some rest?

We'll talk more

about this later,

Susan,

Sorry,

I didn't mean to hurt you,

Andrew, please,

Call Dr, Berger,

"My wife thinks I've snapped,

"Maybe I have,

"I can't sleep,

"It's getting more and more

difficult to think,

"to think straight

Or to control myself

and now

Susan Wants to leave me,"

Damn!

Los Angeles,

This Friday,

Karl,

Thanks for coming,

No problem,

You look, uh, tired,

Yeah,

Can I have the same?

So I, ,,

heard you talked

to Susan last night,

Yes, she's very concerned

about you,

Told her the cps 1200

is just a fantasy?

What could I say?

We all signed

confidentiality waivers,

Now she thinks I'm lying,

Thinks You're lying?

You told her you time-Traveled,

I did,

That's impossible,

The machine is not running yet,

Yes, it is,

You're serious, aren't you?

Uh-huh,

You tested it on yourself?

You believe me, don't you?

Karl, I need your help,

I know events in history

can vary

according to temporal

and spatial perspective,

but I need the bottom line,

Can history be altered?

Theoretically, but we never had

a chance to test it,

So someone could change

a specific outcome

by changing the circumstances

leading up to it,

That's one school,

The other, um, time travel camp

are fatalists,

They posit that

no matter what you do

the outcome is inevitable,

You mean, I travel back

to november 22nd, 1963,

I shoot Oswald

before he kills Kennedy,

Kennedy still gets Assassinated?

Thank you,

The fatalist conjecture

is that someone else

would have been in the texas

book depository with a rifle,

Right, right, right,

Personally, I disagree,

As far as I'm concerned,

you take Oswald

out of the equation

and Kennedy leaves Dallas

without a scratch,

Unless, of course,

you're one of those

"Grassy Knoll"

Conspiracy theorists,

What is this all about?

Are you planning on going back

and trying to save

Kennedy's life?

No, no, it's, um, ,,

it's someone

much more important,

Andrew, I'm home,

What's it remind you of?

Andrew, don't,

Don't tell me

you don't remember,

The honeymoon suite

at the

mauna Lea,

What is all this?

I phoned the office today

to see how you did on the house,

They told me you sold it,

full asking price,

Congratulations,

You always did know

how to make the perfect Martini,

It's one of my few Remaining

social skills,

Susan, I, ,, I'm so sorry,

I promise you, from now on,

things are going

to be different,

Andrew, this is lovely,

The martinis

and the flowers, but, ,,

it's not really that easy,

You put all of that

out of your mind, okay?

'cause tonight is

for celebrating, okay?

Do you remember

how much in love we were?

Oh, well, you do have

a good memory,

No, I'm serious,

I'm still the same guy

that made you smile

that first night we met,

And that was just by chance,

You were the most beautiful

woman I'd ever seen,

Oh, well, it's easy to impress

a man who spends half his life

chained to a lab bench,

It was fate, you know,

Our meeting...

You always said so,

Andrew, ,,

look, you really helped me

through a very rough time,

but that was seven years ago,

We can have that back...

I know we can,

Wishing something

isn't enough, Andrew,

I know, because I've spent

too much of my life

doing just that,

I still love you,

And I know deep down, Susan,

you love me too,

Andrew,

Enough,

Close your eyes,

Please, just, ,,

okay,

Can I open them?

Yeah,

What's this?

It's just my way of saying

congratulations

on the sale of the house,

Hawaii,

I booked that suite

at the

mauna Lea,

Leaving tomorrow Morning?

Mm-hmm,

Come on, you spend a few days,

you'd relax on the beach,

I've just got to

clean up a few loose ends here,

but I'll join you on thursday,

Oh, um, Andrew,

this is really very sweet,

but I, I can't,

Why not?

Because I don't think

it would be fair,

Not to me and not to you,

Would it have anything to do

with that?

What are you doing with that?

Were you

digging through

my personal things?

What's in Los Angeles?

A realtors' convention,

Why are you keeping it a secret?

I only found out about it

the other day,

We haven't had time

to discuss it,

Andrew, do you see

what's happening here?

This is one of our big problems,

You don't trust me,

That's not True,

So this big romantic trip

to hawaii...

Was this your way

of getting me out of town

for my alleged safety

or keeping me from

going to Los Angeles?

No, it was my way

of putting our crumbling

marriage back together,

The sentiment was nice,

but the execution left

a lot to be desired,

Where are you going?

Out,

Susan,

Susan, come back here,

Sure you don't want

anything stronger?

I can open a bottle of wine,

No, this is great,

Where's Dave?

Coeur D'Alene...

Golf trip with the boys,

You ever wonder

about these golf trips?

I trust him, Andrew,

Besides, if I ever found out

Dave was fooling around on me

I'd surgically remove his putter

and frame it

with his other golf trophies,

You and my sister are having

a rough go of it again,

Yeah, everything's

falling apart,

I lost my job,

She told me, I'm sorry,

Amy,

Susan's planning on leaving me,

I know,

I just, I don't understand

why she doesn't want to work

our problems out,

She's been trying to talk to you

for years, Andrew,

She's beyond trying,

I love her so much, Amy,

Nice words, but what

have you done to show her?

Have I really been

that lousy a husband?

I could give you

a one-Word answer,

but you know

how I hate being Blunt,

How did I let my priorities

get so screwed up?

At least you're asking

the right question,

Unfortunately,

I think it's too far gone,

Too many years of neglect,

Is she seeing someone?

Maybe you should be having

this conversation with her,

Then it's True, isn't it?

Andrew, if she is

having an affair,

she hasn't told me about it,

I honestly don't think

that's Susan,

But if we're going to be

brutally Frank here,

I wouldn't blame her

if she was trying

to fill up some

of that emptiness,

I have to talk to her,

Do you know where she is?

She called a little while ago

from the sonora cafe,

That's, ,,

that's where we first met,

I'm so glad I ran into you,

Me too,

To the best salesperson

I've ever met,

You were awesome

on that close today,

I wouldn't have even made

the sale if it wasn't for you,

Well, teamwork is

what it's all about,

And we make a great team,

Andrew,

Needless to say,

you weren't expecting me?

Let me introduce you

to Craig Swenson,

Craig is our new office manager,

Hi, nice to meet you,

Susan, let's go home,

No, Craig and I are talking

about the conference,

You're going to l, A, Too?

Yeah,

Yeah?

Why?

Oh, god, he thinks

we're having an affair,

Whoa,

Uh, listen,

I just met Susan last week,

So once you get to know her

better, then you'll screw her,

Oh, my god, This is ridiculous,

I apologize for

my husband, Craig,

I'll see you in the office

tomorrow,

Susan, Susan,

It might be best if you stayed

someplace else tonight,

I'm serious,

I can't take any more of this,

You're under arrest,

What for?

No, you don't understand,

It's a life-Or-Death situation,

I have to save her,

You've got to believe me!

I'm so glad you're here,

What in god's name is going on?

They told me you broke into

the lab last night,

I wanted to go forward in time

to protect you,

How can you keep doing this?

I would do anything to stop

what is going to happen today,

You shouldn't be worrying

about me,

We don't have much time,

Let's get out of here,

They're not releasing you yet,

What do you mean?

Anderson Is pressing charges,

Well, uh, ,,

what about bail?

You got to call me a lawyer,

I already called one,

You're being transferred

to a county facility

so you can meet with a lawyer

when you get there,

I set up an appointment

for you to see a neurologist,

Anything you want,

I want you to get better,

Please take care of yourself,

Wait, wait, Susan!

You can't go,

You can't leave,

You are going to die,

Susan! Susan!

Susan, don't go!

Susan!

Listen to me!

Susan! Susan!

Please, send someone over

to protect my wife!

She's in danger!

Just, just send somebody

to protect my wife!

Oh, cool it, man,

My wife's going to be murdered

in a few hours,

What are you talking about?

Someone's going to shoot her,

Well, how do you, ,,

how do you know that?

I know you're not going

to believe me,

but I traveled forward in time

and I witnessed her murder,

What part of that

didn't you think I'd believe?

I know, it sounds crazy,

I've heard crazier,

Who shot her?

I'm not sure,

It might have been me,

Well, look on the bright side,

If you're locked up,

you can't do her any harm,

But what if I just showed up

after she was shot

or what if in that time stream

I was the murderer,

but in this time stream

she's killed by Somebody else?

I'd say you got yourself

a real conundrum,

I got to get out of here,

Mclaren?

Let's go,

Hands,

Come with me, tough guy,

What the hell you doing?

I was going to ask you

the same thing,

I wanted to see

if Susan was home,

I thought you were in Jail,

Yeah, sorry to disappoint you,

You want to hurt my wife?

I came here to help move some

things to her sister's house,

She can't do this to me,

Hey, I think you better...

Andrew!

What do you think you're doing?

I came, ,,came back to save you,

You call this saving me?

He was spying on you,

I asked him to come and help me,

We have to work this out,

There is nothing to work out,

No, don't say that!

Call the police,

Oh, my god... Andrew,

Andrew, calm down,

I am calm,

Put the gun away,

You and I need to talk,

All right,

just put the gun away,

Oh, my god!

Susan!

No!

Susan!

Andrew, I'm begging you,

Don't hurt me,

I'm not going to hurt you,

Why do you keep

saying that?

I'm sorry,

You're just not yourself,

I am, yes, I am,

I want to protect you

and I want us to be together,

Okay, okay,

No, no,

Let me go out and get the boxes,

No,

Susan,

I didn't mean it, I swear,

I only wanted to protect you,

There's still a chance,

I love you,

I always have,

Karl!

Andrew, what are you doing here?

Going on a trip,

You can't,

Yes, I can... There's my ticket,

Get security here, right away!

Get out of here!

Get out of here!

( buzzer sounding )

What do you want?

I just want to tell you

that your theories are right,

What do you know

about my theories?

Everything,

My god,

You, ,,

you're me,

I did it,

Time travel's a reality,

More or less,

What's happening to you?

There's still a few bugs

in the system,

Unfortunately,

you're not going to be around

to exalt in your triumph,

Got to change the time stream,

Can't let you meet Susan,

Who?

Make things right,

Don't do this,

There's no other way,

Another fresh one,

( control voice )

We have always struggled

to control our destiny,

but even when We think

we've succeeded,

fate may have the final word,
