They had a hostage.
It was Janet.
Who's this?
Zhang Rui.
Could we meet? Tomorrow maybe? OK.
That's some good speakers you got.
It sounded like a g*n went off.
I've met someone.
We're getting married.
George Addo, I'm arresting
you on suspicion of m*rder.
Now, you don't have
to say anything unless
So, er, the thing is we've been
working together for a while now.
And, er, I respect you as
And, er, I respect you as
a colleague and as a professional.
Right.
But recently well, not that
recently, but never mind.
I've begun to think-

Dennis
Are you trying to ask me out?
Well yes, I am.
Well yes, I am.
Well, go on then.
This is it.
This is me asking you out.

Right now, yeah.
Oh, f*ck off, Jesus Christ.
The thing is, I think about
you all the bloody time.
The thing is, I think about
you all the bloody time.
And it's starting to do my head in.
So, there you go.
Well
Well
I think about you all the time, too.
Yeah?
It-It does my head in an' all.
It-It does my head in an' all.
So, what do you reckon?
Yeah, I'll go out with you.
Yeah?
Yes, why not?
Why not?
Why not?
Who's texting you?
Dunno.
Who cares?
Who cares?
Are you comfortable?
Good.
Uncuff yourself. If you try anything
I will sh**t you.
Move!
Move!
What the f*ck was that?!
Hey man, I'm so sorry, er
I just got these new speakers
and a g*n went off on the TV,
nearly gave me a heart att*ck.
I didn't wake you up, did I?
Nah, you're alright, man.
I didn't wake you up, did I?
Nah, you're alright, man.
I wanted to make sure you were OK.
No, no, no, I'm all good.
I'll makes sure I keep it down.
Hey, no worries. OK.
Bye- Bye, bye, bye, bye.
Bye- Bye, bye, bye, bye.
Hello?
George, you need to come
in straight away.
George, you need to come
in straight away.
Yeah.
What the hell happened?
The world ended.
Who nuked us?
No one. It wasn't a b*mb.
Who nuked us?
No one. It wasn't a b*mb.
It was an emission of
gravitational radiation
caused by two black holes
merging together.
There was a big f*cking
expl*si*n in space
and everything in the known
universe got zapped.
Sorry, what?
There's the singularity.
Sorry, what?
There's the singularity.
Now there's another one.
What, someone made a copy?
What, someone made a copy?
You don't just make a copy
of a black hole.
It's im- It's impossible.
Yet it's just happened.
But there wasn't a warning.
How did we go back?
We have a dead man's
switch on our end.
We have a dead man's
switch on our end.
If it's destroyed
it resets automatically.
Alright, so how do we stop it
exploding again?
It's already started
collapsing in on itself.
It's already started
collapsing in on itself.
In three weeks' time it'll go
again. We can't stop it.
So we're just going to keep living
the next three weeks on loop?
So we're just going to keep living
the next three weeks on loop?
Ma'am?!
So what do we do?
I don't know, George.
I can stop a nuclear m*ssile
being launched,
I can stop a nuclear m*ssile
being launched,
I can't stop
a black hole collapsing.
There must be something.
The singularities don't just
appear overnight.
No. They don't.
So someone's behind this.
No. They don't.
So someone's behind this.
If you wanted to work out a way
of creating your own machine,
If you wanted to work out a way
of creating your own machine,
of turning back time yourself,
what would you do?
I don't know.
I don't know.
If it were me?
I'd find the one person smart enough
to know how all this works.
I'd go and get them
and I'd put them to work.
I'd go and get them
and I'd put them to work.
Janet?
Where's Archie, Wes?
Shanghai.
We think the Chinese are involved.
We think the Chinese are involved.
I've met someone.
We're getting married.
I wanted to say I'm
sorry for how we ended.
This is Archie. Leave a message.
Yo, Archie, it's me.
Just call me back.
Just call me back.
She's your sister.
If that jogs your memory.
She's your sister.
If that jogs your memory.
I don't know where she is.
It's the singularity.
It's self-destructing.
I don't think we can stop it.
I don't think we can stop it.
Oh hey, man. I'm-I'm
so sorry, I just got, erm
Oh hey, man. I'm-I'm
so sorry, I just got, erm
I got these new speakers

called The Lazarus Project
who are tasked with preventing
and undoing Extinction-level events.
and undoing Extinction-level events.
Why is he dead in the
boot of your car?
Because I'm a Lazarus agent.
You're an app developer.
You're an app developer.
No. No, not for a long time.
I don't understand, you're
like, you're a spy?

No. Er, no, I'm-I'm an operative.
You k*lled someone.

Bad people.

I want to show you something.
Is this real?
Is this real?
Oi
You know you can't tell anyone.
I can't tell anyone
there's a secret Bond lair
I can't tell anyone

just off Tottenham Court Road
and my ex-boyfriend's a spy?
I hate it when you call me your ex.
Same.
What were you gonna tell me
in the cafe yesterday?
What were you gonna tell me
in the cafe yesterday?
Nothing.
Well, I'm only gonna be here
for another three weeks.

After that I've got to go somewhere.

What are the chances I turn up and
have security agents waiting for me?

Please, I

Get up.
You're not going anywhere.
Jesus!
Jesus!
I wish you could tell me
where you were going tomorrow.
I wish you could tell me
where you were going tomorrow.
Yeah, I wish I could too.
I really missed you.
I missed you.
Whenever you get back from
Whenever you get back from
wherever it is you're going
will you come and find me?
I will always come and find you.
Nah, you're alright.
Nah, you're alright.
I just wanted to
make sure you were OK.
Hi.
Nice to see you again.
Nice to see you again.
Next time just knock.
You can remember time loops?
Did you think
you were the only ones?
I'm looking for Janet.
Janet. Yeah, I know.
Who gave you the serum?
Who gave you the serum?
We made our own.
Yeah? What else did you make?
We wanted what you have
so we made a machine.
Where's Janet?
I passed her to my handler.
Where's Janet?
I passed her to my handler.
I don't know where they were
taking her after that.
OK.
Where's your handler?
We were supposed to meet,
Where's your handler?
We were supposed to meet,
day before the checkpoint,
but he never showed.
Now he doesn't answer his phone.
Maybe your friend got to him first.
My friend?
Maybe your friend got to him first.
My friend?
Brown skinned guy.
British accent. Curly hair.
k*lled my team in Germany.
I hope we meet again one day.
No, I don't think you do.
How did you find Janet
in the first place?
Lazarus. We've been tracking
all of you for years.
Lazarus. We've been tracking
all of you for years.
Your new recruit led us
straight to her.
George? He went to
her apartment in Barcelona
just before the nuke went off.
We couldn't believe our luck.
This is gonna keep
happening, isn't it?
I don't know.
George? I waited for you
for an hour in the cafe today.
George? I waited for you
for an hour in the cafe today.
Hey
Wait.
Wait, Sar-
Wait, Sar-
Oh sh*t. Oh sh*t.
f*ck sake, Sarah.
Just look both ways for once.
Christ, Christ, Christ.
Christ, Christ, Christ.
You f*cking idiot.
f*cking idiot! f*cking id-
Just tell me something, Shiv.
Just try and tell me something.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do.
I just wanted you
to hear it from me.
We're happy.
I know this is painful.
We're engaged!
I'm sorry about the noise, mate,
I was just playing a video game.
I'm sorry about the noise, mate,
I was just playing a video game.
Just watching a movie.
It's just a movie, Reggie!
It's just a movie, Reggie!
Man on a bike.
Woman with a buggy.
Woman with a buggy.
Hat man.
I wanted you to hear it from me.
We're happy.
We're happy.
You're alright, man.
What are we going to do, ma'am?
What are we going to do, ma'am?
Going to start
waking people up.
Who?
World leaders.
World leaders.
Governments.
People in charge.
We can't fix this on our own.
Maybe we can't fix it at all but
We can't fix this on our own.
Maybe we can't fix it at all but
..it's time to start
looking for help.
Boy, did I underestimate you
Shiv?
I'm about to wake up in China.
I'm about to wake up in China.
Archie, I-
I don't want to hear it, George.
I know why you did it.
I know why you did it.
And you know
why that doesn't matter.
Is Shiv 'dead' dead,
or will the loop bring him back?
It brings him back with
a b*llet in him.
It brings him back with
a b*llet in him.
I've been trying to save him.
I haven't.
Well, you better work out a way.
Right now we live in a world
without consequences.
But you're gonna help me
bring them back.
And then you're gonna face them.
Understand?
Understand?
Good.
I trusted you.
You betrayed me.
I had to save her-
No.
You wanted to save her.
It's the same thing, Archie.
It's the same thing, Archie.
You pretend like
you don't know that,
but you do.
Janet?
I don't know.
I don't know where she is.
But there's a rival machine
out there
and she's the key to fixing this.
I think Shiv knows something.
I think Shiv knows something.
Better find out a way to
save him, hadn't you?
Next loop,
Next loop,
while he's still alive,
tell him I'm sorry
I didn't believe him.
Tell him I'm gonna make it right.
Tell him I'm gonna make it right.
Collapsed lung.
Almost certainly.
Almost certainly.
So, how, how would you treat
this if you were there?
Well, I'd release the trapped air
and get some fluids into him.
Yeah, OK..
..but like, which fluids?
Which department did you say
you were from again?
m*rder squad.
m*rder squad.
Look,
there was probably nothing
you could have done.
there was probably nothing
you could have done.
I wouldn't b*at yourself up
about it.
You didn't show up today.
Yeah, sh*t. I'm sorry.
It's alright, I don't blame you.
I figured it wasn't
gonna be a good talk.
George, I-
You're seeing someone, I know.
It's fine.
You're gonna marry him, but,
you're already having doubts
and figured if you told me,
it would mean you couldn't turn back.
Or
Or
..am I wrong?
Yeah.
George, are you OK?
I'm just really f*cking alone.
What's the f*cking point?
Where're you going?
Anywhere else.
Anywhere else.
See you in the next loop.
I'm sorry, I can't
Just mind your own business, Reggie!
Just mind your own business, Reggie!
Just mind your own f*cking business!
Hey, I didn't mean to
disturb you last night.
Hey, I didn't mean to
disturb you last night.
You know, I heard the noise,
I was just a bit worried.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Er, I'm sorry, I was- I was just-
Are you f*cking kidding me?
Excuse me?
What do you think?
Looks like blood.
Yeah.
I wouldn't hold your breath.
No, that's OK. This was kind of
a last resort anyway.
No, that's OK. This was kind of
a last resort anyway.
Ah, yes, here
..I can read the words.
"It'll worth wait.
"It'll worth wait.
"It'll worth wait."
It'll, it'll be worth the wait?
Gaps match.
Mean anything to you?
No.
Oh, there is something else.
Here at the bottom.
What are they?
What are they?
Symbols of some kind.
Japanese kanji
or Chinese characters maybe?
I don't know.
I don't know.
George?
Why didn't you come
to the cafe earlier?
Why didn't you come
to the cafe earlier?
Yeah, I'm, I'm sorry. Can I come in?
I just want to talk.
I feel like I'm losing my mind.
I mapped out everyone
that walked past my apartment
on that first morning.
I followed most of them home.
There's this one guy.
He got a bus out of town
to a small park and hanged himself.
Now I see him every time we go back,
Now I see him every time we go back,
off to hang himself.
I said hello to him once
and you know what?
He didn't do it.
He went home instead.
He went home instead.
It's crazy.
The smallest things
can make the biggest difference.
Can you hear that?
A couple of loops back
I went next door
and threw the guy playing
the guitar out the window.
I'm thinking about doing it again.
What's so special about Janet?
Genius level IQ.
Brain the size of a small country.
Brain the size of a small country.
Your government made
their own serum.
Then they tried to
make their own machine.
And it's gone wrong.
And it's gone wrong.
And I think they've taken her
to try and fix it.
I found out where
they're keeping her.
And you're gonna need help.
And you're gonna need help.
Know anyone good?
Let me get this straight,
Let me get this straight,
they have a time machine
..that can undo time,
and no one knows about it
Yeah, it's true, Sarah.
and no one knows about it
Yeah, it's true, Sarah.
And now there's a problem
we can't fix.
We just keep living these three weeks
again and again and again and
..it's just like it was
right at the start of this
and I don't know what to do.
and I don't know what to do.
I don't know if not knowing what's
going on is better than knowing.
I don't know if
I don't know if
..it's selfish and cruel
to even give you this option,
if being woken up is worse
than sleeping through it.
All I know is that I miss you, Sarah.
All I know is that I miss you, Sarah.
I miss you so much.
And I know you miss me too.
And I told you that
I would always come and find you.
This is me trying to do that.
Are you taking heroin
No, I'm not ta-
No, I'm not ta-
it's a serum, Sarah.
It will help you remember
the time you've lost -
It will help you remember
the time you've lost -
And what did I lose, George?
Everything.
We were married.
We were gonna have a baby.
Everything.
But we can get that back.
I love you, Sarah.
I always have.
Every time.
Alright, pal?
Rebrov
I don't need this, do I?
Probably not, the world's gonna
explode in half an hour anyway.
What do you want?
Where's Janet?
f*ck me if know.
I went to Barcelona.
No sign of her.
Yeah, she got taken.
Yeah, she got taken.
Think it was the Chinese
but she could be anywhere now-
You've got people looking for her?
Archie.
And Shiv?
Hmm.
Hmm.
No, we f*cked Shiv, remember?
Aye.
Well, he still might be
looking for her though.
Beer?
Go on then.
It's the singularity, isn't it?
Something happened.
Yeah, it's f*cked.
Yeah, it's f*cked.
Is that your scientific opinion?
Am I wrong?
No, pretty much on the money.
This does not feel like a flat
that has a woman living in it.
This is very much a bachelor pad
if I'm not mistaken.
This is very much a bachelor pad
if I'm not mistaken.
So,
where's the resurrected girlfriend?
She dumped me.
Oh? Sad.
Oh? Sad.
f*ck off.
Sorry.
Hmm, Shiv.
Hmm, Shiv.
Interesting.
He came here to tell me something.
But I sh*t him, before he could.
Well, that was a silly thing to do.
Yeah, well obviously
I didn't mean to-
Anyway, he has a note with him.
Anything helpful?
It says "time machine" in Mandarin.
It says "time machine" in Mandarin.
And above it,
the full sentence must be-
It'll be worth the wait.
What?
This is-
Right
He's been sh*t, I need help! Come on!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Call 999.
Mate, are you alright?
Can you hear me?
Oh Jesus.
Call 999!
No, no.
You need to stabilise him here.
Look, George,
there's only so much I can do.
Look, George,
there's only so much I can do.
Then do it.
Jesus.
OK. I asked the landlord
what the neighbours were like.
OK. I asked the landlord
what the neighbours were like.
I f*cking asked him.
Shiv, I need you to speak to me.
Where's Janet?
Shiv, I need you to speak to me.
Where's Janet?
Shiv?!
Come on, man, you need to
give me something! He needs space!
He's trying to speak!
Get the f*ck out the way!
Shiv! Shiv, talk to me.
Shiv! Shiv, talk to me.
I got you, man. I got you.
You sh*t me. You f*cking dickhead.
You sh*t me. You f*cking dickhead.
Yeah, yeah, man.
I'm sorry about that.
Ja-Janet -
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I know,
we have to go and save her.
No.
No.
You don't understand
What? Under, understand what, Shiv?
Rebrov's the key
Big plans are afoot.
Remember that?
One of our little codes.
It was Janet's idea, actually.
It was Janet's idea, actually.
We had all sorts.
k*ll, run, hide.
Simple meanings.
But there was one that was more
important than the others.
The phrase that meant,
"I'm in trouble.
I need you.
I need you.
Come and get me."
"It'll be worth the wait."
"It'll be worth the wait."
She came up with that one.
Something about that phrase
always reminded me of something,
but I could never
put my finger on it.
Then I saw it again the other day,
written down.
Then I saw it again the other day,
written down.
And I remembered.
You won't find Janet because
she's not here anymore.
Someone's found a way to break
through the checkpoint.
Someone's found a way to break
through the checkpoint.
They've found a way to
send her back in time.
'Welcome to London
and the 2012 Olympic games'
And I know exactly where she is.
If you wanna get her back
..you're gonna need my help.
f*cking hell.
You can time travel.
