Through the Door (2024)

[bunniefuu]

(bright music)

(gentle music)

- [Zoe] Why do I keep doing this?

Another one night stand.

Another feeling of emptiness.

I thought I was over this

phase, but here I am,

drifting from one meaningless

encounter to the next,

realizing I'm searching for

something I can't even define.

(gentle music continues)

- So, are we just going to pretend

like I didn't hear anything last night?

- Yeah, I'd actually prefer that.

- How was it?

- Oh, amazing.

No, it's just another night of regret

that I'd like to forget.

- [Camila] What's your

biggest regret in life?

- I don't know. What's yours?

- Amelia.

Amelia Hayes.

- You answered that way too quickly.

- That's because she's all I've

been thinking about lately.

Who's Amelia?

- The one that got away.

We were both too afraid to be

our true selves at the time.

- Maybe it's not too late to reconnect.

- No, it's way too late for that.

The last time I saw her, I said

some really horrible things.

She'd never forgive me now.

We have a very complicated history.

- Well, time heals all wounds, right?

- If you could go back, would you?

- Go back where?

- In time?

- Go back in time?

- No.

- I'd like to go back a few weeks ago,

but I haven't heard anything.

- You applied?

Okay, what does that mean?

Is it like an exclusive club you applied

to get into or something?

- No, it's gonna sound stupid to you,

but there's this phenomenal

time portal that exists

and you can go back to

the day you were born

and redo your life,

but it's incredibly hard to get accepted.

The competition is crazy.

- Oh wow.

Are you doing lots of mushrooms again?

- [Camila] No, I mean, I'm microdosing.

- Right.

- But yeah,

you think it's stupid.

- I think it's entertaining.

- [Camila] I believe in

it and I wanna try again

if I have another shot, you know?

- And you applied to

see if you get accepted

to do this thing?

- Uh-huh. Exactly.

- I didn't know it existed.

- Not a lot of people do.

There's a website and you just apply

and if you get accepted,

they send you an address and

you get a chance to go back.

Apparently it's not guaranteed.

You have to find a portal

and you might not find it.

I figured it's worth a shot, you know?

- Yeah, why not?

Maybe it works.

- Maybe

- She kept going on,

but I stopped listening.

The thought of regret filled my mind.

There was one thing I regretted the most,

and if I could go back and change things,

I'd do it in a heartbeat.

I couldn't stop thinking

about the one thing I regret.

The thought of changing

my past took over my mind.

The choice I made when I was a teenager,

that terrible choice.

If I could go back,

things would be different.

It sounded so stupid,

the idea of time travel,

but I had nothing else going on,

and it was all Camila talked about, so.

How do you apply to the time travel thing?

- You wanna time travel now?

I'll show you the website,

but you gotta make it good,

your reason, that is.

They only take those who have a really,

really good reason.

I keep reapplying.

- Wait, you've applied more than once?

- Way more than once.

- [Zoe] I spent the next

two hours filling out

the application.

It explained everything Camila mentioned.

You're sent back to the day you were born

with no memory of what happened

in your life's timeline,

but with an intuition so strong

that your subconscious will

hopefully make better choices

the second time around.

The next day, I got called

in for an interview.

(suspenseful music)

- What year were you born?

- 2003.

It was the strangest thing I'd ever done,

showing up to an empty room

and having an interview

with a voice over a cell phone.

- [Interviewer] Why should we choose you?

- [Zoe] Two days later, I got an email.

(suspenseful music)

- Really? You got accepted?

- Yeah.

- How?

Do you know how many times I've applied?

You never actually said.

- Dozens.

What did you say? What was your reason?

- [Zoe] I didn't know if I

should tell you the truth

or make something up.

I went with the truth.

- Okay. Wow, that wasn't...

- What you were expecting.

- [Camila] Not exactly.

They're letting you film a documentary?

- Yeah, kind of.

I mean, they were letting me go in

and take videos on my phone.

I wasn't joking.

I wanted to be truthful,

but as I came up to the 500 words on my

why do I deserve to go

back in time answer,

my logical brain kicked in.

Am I f*cking crazy?

I knew this thing was bullshit.

It was just so damn interesting.

I'm a content creator.

Well, that and...

(gentle music)

It had been a while since I made a video

and I was ready to get back into it.

I needed something interesting.

- I just think or thought

they'd pick someone

who has something bigger

going on for them, you know?

- Oh, like you not going

after your true love?

- [Camila] The universe

appreciates a good love story.

- Mm, please.

You cannot call that a true love story

when you don't even know

if she felt the same.

- Her and I had a connection.

I felt it intuitively, something

you wouldn't understand.

- Ouch.

I'm sorry, I'm just jealous.

I wanna be excited for you.

When are you going in?

- I don't know.

- Zoe, you are the only

person I know to get accepted.

Do you understand how

rare and unique this is?

- I will show you the

videos when I get out.

- You may not be coming out.

- Two days later I got

a text with an address

and a time.

(phone buzzing)

I showed up, not sure

what was about to happen,

but I was all in.

All right, I'm at the entrance.

Let's do this.

(door slams)

(footsteps padding)

(ominous music)

(door slams)

Your time begins now.

You can leave at any time through any

of the emergency exit doors.

Once you leave, your time is up.

You may not reenter.

You're looking for a portal.

You must go through a

door and enter the portal

that takes you back to the

very beginning of your life.

You must enter with

nothing to be born again.

Find the doorway and activate the portal.

Good luck.

Find the door and activate

the portal. Got it.

So there's no lights.

I really don't wanna run through there,

but not backing out yet.

(heavy breathing)

Oh, no, no, no, no.

Okay, I'm done. I'm done.

(heavy footsteps)

- Oh sh*t (knocking on door)

sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Hello?

Oh my God. Oh my God.

(Zoe panting)

(ominous music)

(heavy footsteps)

Oh, okay. Don't like that.

Don't like that at all.

Oh God.

(Zoe panting)

Okay.

(gentle music)

I have no idea what I'm looking for.

Well, I know I'm looking for a

door to a time travel portal,

but what's a portal even look like?

Okay. Okay, here we go again.

I can't believe I'm doing this again.

The things I do for views.

Exit door.

I can always just exit.

- What was that?

(Zoe breathes heavily)

(gravel crunching)

(ominous music)

Oh my god.

(hurried footsteps)

Oh my God.

(Zoe panting)

- Okay, that better be the

last of the dark rooms.

I do not like running

through dark rooms alone.

It's terrifying.

Like, I'm literally shaking.

Okay, so now I'm in some

kind of office space.

Let's take a look around

and see if we can find

this time travel machine,

time travel portal thing.

(ominous music)

- Who are you?

- Okay, I'm Logan.

Who are you?

- I'm Zoe.

Sorry, I didn't think

anyone else would be here.

- Neither did I.

- Are you looking for a time machine

- Portal to go back in time, yeah.

I guess we're looking

for some sort of a door.

- Well, what kind of door?

- A magic one.

- This is Jane.

She's with me, but she's a skeptic.

- I'm just here to prove to Logan

that time travel isn't real.

And there's nothing

interesting down that corridor.

I like your outfit.

- Oh, thanks.

- [Jane] Should we keep going?

- You can stick with us if you want.

- Thank you.

It was pretty scary

wandering alone back there.

- Well, if you get too afraid,

there's always an exit door.

(gentle music)

- Did you two apply together?

- We did.

- How long have you been here for?

- Five hours in here. You?

- Not long. Like an hour.

(gentle music continues)

(door squeaking)

- sh*t, another dark room.

- [Jane] Let's move towards the light.

- Maybe I can get the lights back on.

- Yes, put those

electrician skills to work.

- Okay, maybe this will do it.

(Logan knocks on electricity box)

sh*t.

- Someone's there.

- [Logan] What?

(ominous music)

Hello?

- You here for time travel?

- Yeah, we are.

- I think I may have found

the portal. This way.

(ominous music)

(footsteps padding)

Makes sense, right? You

have to go through the door.

- What is he doing?

- You enter with nothing.

(gentle music)

- I guess this ain't it.

(door thudding)

- Okay, so things have gotten interesting.

I'm in here with three other

people, Logan and Jane,

a couple who applied to

go back in time together,

and a strange dude, Carson,

who just walked naked through

a doorframe thinking he'd go back in time.

God, this is so bizarre.

I mean, it's super scary, but

it's also kind of hilarious.

I think I'm just gonna

stick with Logan and Jane

because it is way easier

going through the dark rooms

with other people.

I'm getting some good content in here.

(ominous music)

- What do you think?

- Huh?

Oh, I don't know.

How big is this place?

- No idea.

It feels like it goes on forever.

- How long have you been in here?

- I'm on day three, I think

- You've been here for three days?

- Somewhere between three to five days.

- Is there food?

- I found three separate kitchens.

There's food. It's not great,

but it's enough to get by.

- [Zoe] How many of us are in here?

- I've only seen one

other, a guy named Jacob.

- Anyone wanna explore more?

- I'm good. I gotta re-strategize.

- That was a good try.

- I'm ready to explore.

- Okay.

- Yeah, I think I saw another

door in that dark room

where we just were.

- You did, and it leads

to another dark room,

and then to another dark

room, and so on, and so on.

Look, if you find the portal,

come get me, all right?

Will do.

(ominous music)

(door squeaking)

He wasn't joking.

- Let me know if you see

a fuse box or anything.

There's gotta be a way

to get these lights on.

- That door. Come on.

(footsteps padding)

- Is this the same room?

- It's kind of hard to tell.

- Good job, babe. So much better.

- Let's try that room.

(footsteps padding)

(ominous music)

- More offices.

(door squeaking)

Hey, yeah. Good job of finding some light.

- Thanks, that's that's what I do.

- Well, you're good at what you do.

- What were you even looking for?

- I don't know, babe.

None of us really know

what we're looking for.

(ominous music continues)

(switch clicking)

- How much longer are we gonna do this?

- Until we find the door.

- I think I'm done.

- Jane, come on.

- I'm tired. It's creepy.

I'm not having fun anymore.

- If this is real, this is a

second chance for us, for me.

- It's not real, Logan.

- Come on. We're desperate.

I'm desperate.

- Look, I want this to be real for you,

but I think it's time we

go back and face reality.

- [Logan] I'm not leaving.

- Why does she have to be with us?

- What's wrong with her?

- I don't like how she looks at you.

- Looks at me, why should that matter?

You're the one with the wandering eye.

- Don't start with the jabs.

You said we weren't gonna talk about that.

- [Logan] You're the one bringing it up.

- All I'm saying is I don't

want her hanging around us.

I want to go home.

- If I go back out there, I'm done.

- I know.

- There's an exit door right there.

Leave if you want, I'm staying.

(ominous music)

(ominous music continues)

- Hey, what's...

- What's going on?

(ominous music continues)

(heavy breathing)

- What was it?

- Just keep going.

Okay, what the f*ck was that?

- What did you see?

- There was someone in a cloak.

- A guy in a cloak?

Okay, so what? What does that mean?

Why are we running

from that?

- Jane, just be quiet, okay?

Listen. You always jump in and you ramble.

Okay, there was a body.

- A body? Like, a dead body?

- Jane, just listen, okay?

Did you see it?

- I saw it.

- Okay, so what?

Should we talk to them?

- I don't think so.

- Do you think it's real?

- What?

- The body.

This whole thing could

be a prank, you know?

- Maybe.

- So, do we exit, Logan?

- No. No, let's stay and figure this out.

- Wait, listen.

(footsteps padding)

Get down.

- Okay. Yeah.

Get down. Get down.

- What the hell is going on in here?

I call him the Time Wielder.

- He knew about it. Of course, he did.

- [Logan] Did you know

about the dead body too?

- What do you know

about this Time Wielder?

- Not much, other than it's

here to make us disappear.

- Explain.

- There's nothing to it.

It's an entity, a force.

Whoever created this time portal

is basically breaking

the laws of the universe.

This entity believes things

should remain as they are.

If something happened, it happened.

There's no going back. You only

get one shot, one timeline.

- What will it do?

- It'll k*ll you.

I saw it happen with Jacob.

- What did you see happen?

- Jacob and I first saw this

thing in one of the dark rooms

and quickly learned that it

was there trying to stop us.

That's when I started to believe.

I started to believe this was real.

Jacob and I learned to

avoid the dark spaces,

but one day he went out on his own.

I went looking for him,

and when I found him,

the Time Wielder had him.

I went back to get a

weapon, but it was too late.

Since then, I only see

them once in a while,

and always in the darkness.

The offices and the corridors

are safe as far as I can tell.

- How do we get around them?

- You don't.

It's a force trying to stop

you. Didn't I make that clear?

- Okay, enough of this sh*t.

Why didn't you warn us?

- He doesn't want to help us.

- Hey, Carson, f*ck you.

- f*ck me? That's funny.

There's one more thing you

might find interesting.

Jacob and I had a lot

of time on our hand...

- Can we get the short

version of the story?

- We talked about a lot of things,

and when we got to talking

about the World Cup,

that's when we made the discovery.

(suspenseful music)

(paper crumpling)

- Whoosh, still got it.

- World Cup, here you come.

- Yeah, I'm so devastated

France lost to Italy.

I'm a huge France fan. Don't ask me why.

I have no idea.

(speaking in French)

- Lost? What are you talking about?

France just beat Brazil

to win the World Cup.

- Nah, France lost to

Italy in penalty kicks.

Man, it was such a close game.

- We're talking about the

most recent World Cup, right?

France just beat Brazil

to win the World Cup.

- No, that was in 1998.

I'm talking about the one

that just happened in Berlin.

- What?

- [Jacob] Yeah, Italy won the World Cup.

- France just won, I watched it.

- [Jacob] No, Italy won.

I'm a huge France fan.

- Then you should be happy

because they just won.

- No, in 1998 they won.

I'm talking about the

one that just happened.

- In 1998? It is 1998.

- Hey, we'll see what

happens in four years.

I'm not too confident in 2010,

but hey, there's still a lot of time.

- Jacob, what year is it?

- It's 2006.

- It's 1998.

- No, it's 2006.

- No, it's 1998.

(gentle music)

And there you have it.

- You're both wrong.

Brazil beat Germany to win the World Cup.

- It's true, we watched it.

Like, last month we watched that.

Brazil won the most recent World Cup.

- Oh yeah. What year are you from?

- [Logan] 2002.

- See, in here time doesn't matter.

You're already time traveling.

- No, it's 2002. He is

just trying to confuse us.

- I dunno much about football,

but it is definitely 2002.

- How about you? What

year are you from, Zoe?

- 2026.

- Wow, I didn't expect

that far. There you go.

- Seriously?

- Seriously.

(gentle music)

Okay, I think I'm

actually getting pranked,

because apparently we're

all from different years.

Like, I'm from 2026.

(door knocking)

- Who are you talking to?

- Oh, I was making a video.

- Your flashlight records videos?

- My flashlight?

- Oh no, this is my phone.

Yeah, like a cell phone.

They get pretty advanced in the future.

I'm making a video journal.

- You actually think it's 2026?

- Yes. Do you really think it's 2002?

- It's not. You're not joking?

- Yeah, I'm not joking.

- This is, it's real.

I can go back and change things.

- You're excited?

- Yeah,

if you're actually from the year 2026.

- I am.

- This is real.

- You wanna check out my futuristic phone?

- Yeah, not right now.

Carson showed us his stash of food,

I guess he felt bad for

withholding information,

so if you're hungry.

- Thanks.

- Hey, leave me outta your videos, okay?

- Okay.

(gentle music continues)

- Hey, Carson.

I don't watch football, or soccer,

I mean, whatever you wanna call it,

but I did the calculations

and we're all from years that

the World Cup took place,

even my year, 2026.

Do you think that has

something to do with this?

- It must mean something. Who

wins the World Cup in 2026?

- I don't remember. Brazil, I think.

Why do you wanna go back?

- Because I want to.

- Did you do something terrible?

Did you hurt someone?

- There's an old sliding door

that leads to another

section of the building.

I haven't been down there

much. I'm gonna go take a look.

- What about you, Zoe?

Why are you going back?

- Oh, it's complicated.

- Tell us.

- Tell us why you've been recording us.

Her flashlight does more

than just provide light.

- Okay, I'm not actually

trying to go back in time,

just here to record videos on my phone.

I told 'em I wanna make a

documentary and they let me in.

- That's a camera?

- Yes, this is a camera.

I'm from the future.

- They wouldn't let you

in to make a documentary.

I call bullshit.

- No, it's not bullshit.

In my interview.

- [Interviewer] Why should

we let you make a video?

- For the believers.

Look, most people aren't

gonna believe this is real,

so why not have some kind of video

to capture what happens in there?

Think of it like a promotion,

or evidence for the people

who wanna apply in the future.

So, now that you know why I'm

here, why I'm being so nosy,

can I interview each of you?

- Oh, what the f*ck? No.

No, absolutely not.

- Okay, I was just asking.

- Leave Jane and I out of it.

- Yeah, that's fine.

- I k*lled some people.

I'm not gonna hide it.

I'll stay in here till I either

die or make things right.

I'll do an interview.

They didn't let you in with a real camera?

- Oh no, this is all

they'd let me bring in,

but it actually does a pretty good job.

- All right, what do you wanna know?

- What's your name? What do you do?

- My name is Carson Barnes.

I'm a mechanical engineer.

- What are you here for?

- To go back in time.

(suspenseful music)

- Do they want your footage after

or do you get hold onto it?

- They didn't say.

Thanks for doing this.

- Yeah.

- What year is it?

- It's 2002.

- Do you really believe that?

- Do I really believe that?

Of course, I believe that.

It's 2002. That's what year it is.

- [Zoe] Change your mind?

- Everyone else is doing it, right?

- I'm recording. Why do

you wanna go back in time?

- I've made a lot of

bad choices in my life.

Most recently, I ended

the lives of some people.

It was planned. I planned it all out.

If I go back,

there's some changes I need

to make from the beginning,

from the early years,

so I don't turn into the same person.

I was never meant to be this guy.

I am the result of some

very, very bad decisions.

- I cheated on Logan.

He found out about it

and didn't take it well.

We had a good thing going and I ruined it.

I'm sorry.

I can accept what I've done.

I don't need to go back in time.

But for him, I want

this to be real for him.

I just don't think time

travel is possible.

- You don't think it's real

even if we're 24 years apart?

- I don't believe you are from 2026.

- Okay, nut I am, okay?

I'm from 2026.

- That's ridiculous.

(suspenseful music continues)

- I k*lled a guy.

I found out what Jane had been up to

and I went to confront this

person and something clicked.

I blacked out. I couldn't stop myself.

I just want a second chance.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Have you seen Jane? I can't find her.

- She's not out there?

- No.

- Have you tried that door yet?

- I don't think so.

- Let's go find Jane.

- You think I'm a monster, don't you?

- No.

- I made a mistake.

I regret it deeply.

- I understand that.

- If you wanna go off on your own

because you don't feel safe around me, I...

- Let's just not focus on our past, okay?

- Okay. Gotta find Jane.

(eerie music)

(door squeaking)

What is this?

(footsteps padding)

(eerie music continues)

Do you think it means something?

(eerie music continues)

- Jane?

- I think I found it.

If this doesn't work, I'm leaving.

- Jane? Jane?

(ominous music)

Oh, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

(ominous music continues)

Jane.

- It didn't work.

I had a small glimmer of

belief that it was possible,

but now I'm done.

I need to get out of here

before I turn insane.

- Well, where's Logan?

- I thought he was with you.

- No, he went in after you.

Okay, listen, I think I

figured something out about

the hooded guy, the Time Wielder.

If you go near an exit

door, he leaves you alone.

I tested it.

- Good for you. Good luck with that.

(ominous music)

- sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Hey! Run to the exit.

Hey!

Hey!

(Jane panting)

(ominous music)

(Zoe panting)

Oh my God.

(electricity box clanking)

Jane.

He's gone.

Come on, let's get you outta here.

You feeling better?

- Thanks, Zoe.

- Sounds like you've

been going through a lot.

Sorry.

- It's been hard.

- You should leave with me.

This place is dangerous.

- I think I'm gonna stick

around a little bit longer.

- I like you.

Good luck, Zoe.

- Goodbye, Jane.

(gentle music)

(door thuds)

(gentle music)

- I was on my own for a while.

I didn't care about filming anymore

and I became less afraid of the darkness.

It was nice being alone,

I had time to think.

I started taking note of every

exit door. There were many.

They kept my fear in check.

As long as there was one

near, I had a way out.

I was walking in circles,

but I was getting to know the layout well.

The light spaces are safe, gray neutral,

and the dark rooms are dangerous.

I started thinking about what I wanted

and I started believing.

I came here wanting to

film interesting content.

Thought the idea of a time travel doorway

would get me some views,

but the more I'm here,

the more I change.

I've had a lot of time to think

and I've changed my intentions.

I wanna go back and restart

my life just as much

as these others want to.

- Do you now?

- Logan, I've been looking for you.

- Have you been as lonely as I've been?

- Yeah, I thought maybe you left.

- No. No, I ain't leaving.

Jane ran away.

- Yeah, I saw her go.

- Out An exit?

- Yeah.

So, what's all this about,

wanting to go back in time now and...

- I just, I think it's an opportunity.

- What do you regret in your life?

- That's a lot to get into.

- I told you my reason, tell me yours.

- Right.

Just have nothing going

on for me out there.

Broke, I jump from one

relationship to the next,

have no family.

- So that's it?

You're depressed, you're out of money,

so you deserve a second chance?

- No.

- You kind of played

the system here.

I don't think they would've

let you in with that.

- Yeah, I know.

I grew up with foster parents.

They were good people,

but I was a troubled kid.

At 16, I had a chance to meet my real mom.

We had a day set and everything,

but when that day came, I couldn't do it.

Instead I went to the

park where I met Anthony.

He was older and I was vulnerable,

and eventually we started dating

and I ran away from home with him.

He was a bad person, but I liked that.

We robbed gas stations, restaurants

sold drugs, sold my body.

We were driving all over the

country, running, hiding,

and eventually the police

found us and he went to jail.

If I can restart my life,

do it all over again,

when that day comes,

I'm gonna meet my mom.

(Zoe breathing heavily)

Have you seen the four pillars?

What are you thinking, Carson?

- I think I got it figured out.

- [Logan] How did I miss this?

- They stand for the elements,

earth, fire, water, air.

We've got air.

We just need the other three

and the portal will activate.

- How do you know this?

- I don't,

but I did find the portal.

I'll show you.

When I first saw it,

I knew it was the one,

but something was missing.

When I walked through

it, nothing happened.

Then it came to me that the

doors have to mean something.

The colors representing the elements

is the only thing that makes sense.

- Is it?

- You got a better idea.

We activate the time travel

with the four elements.

This way.

Make sense?

- It's a paint booth.

- Wait 'till it's activated.

- Okay, but the elements thing,

you're just going off a hunch, right?

- Yeah, so what?

- Nothing.

I'm not disputing it, I just

wanna clarify your reasoning.

It's a hunch. Yes. It's a f*cking hunch.

- Let's just work together, okay?

Each of us pick an element, go find it,

don't get caught by the Time Wielder,

and bring it back to the floating doors.

- I like it. I'll get water.

- We might as well just try it.

- Fine, I'll get earth.

- That leaves me with fire. Let's move.

- [Logan] That was easy.

- I got suck with the hard one.

- Maybe the kitchen, there

might be something in there.

- Yeah, a lighter would be good.

What's going on?

- Nothing.

(suspenseful music)

- What the f*ck?

- Sorry.

- No, don't do that, okay?

- Sorry.

No, it's fine, it's just

it's not what I'm here for.

- Me neither.

- Fire.

(match striking)

- Nothing's changed.

- Just wait.

That doing anything?

- Nope.

- Well, f*ck.

- Do you think if you went back,

you'd know not to make the same mistake?

- I hope so, but Jane

made the first mistake.

That's the part I can't

stop thinking about.

How do I prevent that?

- Why'd she make that mistake?

- Things weren't great. We were

going through a rough patch.

- Maybe the change needs come earlier,

before things got complicated.

- Maybe.

(gentle music)

- Come with me.

(gentle music continues)

- Jane.

Jacob.

- Where have YouTube been?

- Around.

- Around? f*cking around?

- What?

- Maybe this whole thing is one big prank,

somebody's watching us, laughing at us.

Maybe we should all just leave.

- I'm not ready to go.

- I'm not leaving.

- Okay, neither am I.

I discovered something.

I think we should talk

about it. Have a seat.

The doors are not about the elements.

I believe I was wrong about that.

When I went back, I noticed something.

The solo door says "The

Traveler" at the bottom.

- You're lying. That's ridiculous.

- Go look.

The blue one says Jacob and

the white one says Jane.

- Wait. Seriously?

- Seriously.

The other two have no names.

There's three of us left.

The last one standing

is the chosen traveler.

It's that simple.

- I need to see this. Show us.

(ominous music)

- Logan, I want this.

- I need this.

Zoe, how can I convince you

to let me be the one to travel?

- You don't have to convince me.

I've already learned to

live with my life choices

and I wasn't even here to

travel in the first place.

You deserve to go.

- Thank you.

Maybe it's not too late for

you to meet your real mom.

- Yeah, she's a good person.

I mean, so I've heard. I

think I'll look her up.

- What's her name?

- Anna Taylor.

- Anna Wilson?

- Anna Taylor.

Anna Wilson was her name

before she got married.

How did you know that?

- Anna Jane Wilson.

Jane's first name is Anna,

but we all just call her

by her middle name, Jane.

- Wait, what?

Are you saying Jane's my mom?

- Yeah. Yeah, I think so.

- Oh, wait, does that make you my?

Oh sh*t.

- What's happening?

- Nothing.

- Come on, we're wasting time.

We need to decide.

Zoe's decided to step out.

- No, no, I haven't

decided on anything yet.

I just need a minute to think.

Logan, this is kind of a

lot to process right now.

- When were you born?

- 2003.

- What month?

- April.

- Zoe, I'm not your father.

- Then who is?

- Mark.

It just confirms that Jane

is gonna keep the baby.

- Mark was the guy she was seeing?

- Yes.

- The guy you k*lled?

- I am so sorry.

- So now that we're all in agreement,

I think it's obvious we have

some decisions to make here.

Two of us need to leave

and we need to decide

who's the most deserving.

- I did something that I truly regret,

but I am not that person.

If I go out there, my life is over.

But if I travel back,

I know I can do better.

I will not make that mistake again.

- That it?

- I will help you.

- If you go back, I'll never exist.

- Okay, here I go. I did the most damage.

I need this the most.

- How do we know you won't just go back

and do what you did all over again?

- I've changed. I'll

have better intuition.

- Yeah, better intuition

on how to not get caught.

- Exactly. That's what I think.

If he goes back, he'll be better

at getting away with sh*t.

He's evil.

(chair thudding)

- Sorry, I'm calm.

I'm not that guy, okay?

I'm not.

(suspenseful music)

- So, are we gonna

vote? How do we do this?

- Can I plead my case first?

- Plead your case? What case?

Zoe ran away with some piece

of when she was a teenager,

she didn't take the chance

to meet her real mom,

which guess what?

You just met.

- Your mom is Jane?

- Yeah.

- She's the least qualified

to be the chosen traveler

outta the three of us.

It's true.

Okay, so Zoe's toast. You

might as well walk out.

- You know what? f*ck this.

We're not voting, okay?

We'll never decide like that.

We can leave it up to

chance, or consider it fate.

What's the highest valued card?

- Ace of spades.

- Ace of spades.

Everyone agree?

Shuffle.

(cards shuffling)

Shuffle.

(cards shuffling)

- One of these cards is the ace of spades.

We take turns flipping them.

Whoever pulls the ace of

spades is the chosen traveler.

- No, I don't like it.

- I like it.

- Two outta three like it, Logan.

Tough luck.

- What?

Are you gonna force me out

an exit door if I disagree?

- Yeah.

- Yes.

- All right. Who goes first?

- Oldest first.

(suspenseful music)

- How about any Ace?

- Ace of spades.

(suspenseful music continues)

- Well, that is sh*t.

- Zoe, please.

(suspenseful music continues)

- Wait, f*ck. No!

(crowbar thuds)

(suspenseful music continues)

(suspenseful music continues)

(Zoe panting)

- I know you're here somewhere.

(suspenseful music continues)

(Zoe panting)

(suspenseful music continues)

This isn't the way I wanted it to be, Zoe,

but I've gotta do what I gotta do.

If there's only enough power

for one of us to travel,

it's gotta be me.

Just leave out an exit door

so I don't have to hurt you.

Just leave!

Just leave, please!

(crowbar thudding)

(ominous music)

(Zoe panting)

(Zoe panting)

(Logan grunting)

(crowbar clanking)

(Logan grunting)

(Logan grunting)

(electricity buzzing)

(Zoe panting)

(door squeaking)

(Zoe breathing heavily)

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

(gentle music)

(door creaking)

- I'm standing inside of

an abandoned warehouse

where some people believe

time travel is a possibility.

- I have no idea what I'm looking for.

Well, I know I'm looking for a

door to a time travel portal,

but what does a portal even look like?

- [Reporter] Recently, footage

of four individuals wandering

this warehouse has been discovered.

In the videos, there are also interviews

of each person explaining

why there are attempting

to go back in time.

- I am the result of some

very, very bad decisions.

- I came here wanting to

film interesting content.

Thought the idea of a time travel doorway

would get me some views,

but the more I'm here,

the more I change

- The person filming this is Zoe Lewis.

We track down Zoe to interview her.

- The things I do for views.

The person in that video is not me.

This has to be a prank of some kind.

I mean, whoever shot the

footage is obviously trying

to go viral with a time travel story.

My only explanation is that

they used AI technology,

and without consent,

use my voice in my face.

That's not me,

and it's actually pretty disturbing

to find out that they can create

this without my permission.

- Police have been given a copy

and are conducting an investigation.

In the meantime, time travel

continues to remain a mystery.

(gentle music)

You thought you got me now

'Cause I've been soft and

small and breaking down.

Outta this world

You see, I express myself efficiently

But you're so tough, so bright

No one buy your lies,

'cause you're caught up

Uptight, can't look me in the eyes

Tell me where I'm going

You ain't there

Living in the moment

You're too scared

Your eyes' already falling

Can't compare

Writings on the wall

Sick of prayer

Taking in the rear view (indistinct)

Losing you after the bend

Headed to (indistinct),

rolling back the fear

And building up my confidence

You're just a little boy

You stomp and pout and throw your toys

And here's the bottom line

You just really aren't worth my time

'Cause you're so mean, so mean

So cruel, so cruel

Not playing by the rules

'cause you're so dark

So dark, a fool, a fool

That's why I'm over you

Tell me where I'm going

You ain't there

Living in the moment

You're too scared

Your eyes' already
