Time Cut (2024)

[bunniefuu]

Joe Crack the Don, uh

Yeah, yeah, y'all

Irv Gotti, Irv Gotti

What's love?

Ashanti

Terror, Terror Squad

It should be about us

It should be about trust

What's love?

Got to do, got to do with...

Hey, Summer.

- Hey.

- Quinn. Hi.

Hi.

I didn't know

if you were coming out tonight.

Mm. That makes two of us.

Seems like I'm the only one

who's afraid of a serial k*ller.

I'm sorry.

I know they were your best friends,

and I know you and Emmy were close.

Are you doing okay?

No.

What's that?

I... I actually...

I kind of wanted to give this to you...

Hey, hey, hey! You made it!

Ethan.

Ain't a party till Summer Field shows up.

Spring Fling, baby!

Let's go!

...in a hoodie or a linen, a provider

You should see the jewelry on my women

And I'm livin' it...

This is Unit 7, curfew patrol,

responding to an ill*gal party

at the Hayshed Barn. Over.

Got to do, got to do with it?

What's love?

It should be about us

It should be about trust...

Oh, wait. One sec.

Hey!

You got a man

But you need to understand

That you got something with you

a*s is fat, frame is little

Tattoo on your chest with his name...

- Hey.

- Summer!

I'm so sorry about Emmy.

- How are you, Summer?

- Okay.

I was at the mall

when it happened.

- ...Taj Mahal

- What's love...

Hey, DJ!

I'm just...

All right, everybody. Cups up!

Brian and Val were my best friends,

and nothing will ever be the same

without them, without Emmy.

I hope they catch the Sweetly Slasher

and he fries for what he's done.

- Whoo! Heck yeah! That's right!

- Val, Emmy, Brian.

Rest in peace.

This party's for you.

- Cheers!

- Cheers!

Everyone's acting so normal.

Yeah. I know. I miss them too, okay?

But the point of this party

is just get wasted and forget about it.

- Isn't that why you're here?

- No. No, I... I couldn't sleep.

I miss Emmy so much.

I just didn't wanna be alone.

Yo, Summer, I'm sorry.

Just... I... What?

Hey, Summer!

Summer!

These kids have a death wish?

Ah, probably just blowing off

a little steam.

No justice, no peace

They got me face down

In the middle of the street

p*stol-whip me with the heat

Chicken shits sizzling...

All right, everyone! Party's over!

Last one out spends the night

at the station. How about that?

Let's go.

Help! Help!

Please, somebody help me!

Cat got my tongue...

What happens

when a bright shining star dies?

A black hole is born

where something brilliant and strong

suddenly vanishes,

leaving ripples across space and time.

Unfortunately...

...this sounds a lot like my life.

Feels like my skin

Doesn't fit right over my bones

So I guess I should go

The party's done, and I'm no fun

- Yes!

- I know, I know, I know...

I'm applying

to the 2024 NASA Internship Program

because sometimes it feels like

my life is a black hole.

On April 16th, 2003,

the Sweetly Slasher

went on a three-day k*lling spree.

Four teenagers were m*rder*d,

including my sister.

Even though it was over 20 years ago,

tragedy still hangs over this town.

And every year,

on the anniversary of their deaths,

I'm reminded

that one single moment in time

can change everything.

The past overshadows my future,

and I'm not sure where I fit in.

I want to try to understand

the darkest parts of the universe

and where I belong in it.

I told secrets I shouldn't tell

I stumbled over all my words

I made it weird, I made it worse

Each time I step outside...

- Morning.

- Morning.

Yes!

I knew NASA would take you.

What'd your parents say?

You didn't tell them.

Mr. Fleming,

I can't tell them today of all days.

Uh, your sister... uh, was my student.

This day can't be easy for you.

I didn't even know her.

Besides, there's no way my parents

will let me go to DC for three months.

They barely let me out of the house

after dark.

Oh, come on. They might surprise you.

How long has Mr. Pickles been in this box?

Let me think.

Twenty years?

I feel your pain, Pickles.

Hey, Lucy...

Lucy, Lucy, don't let your life

just happen to you.

Take control of your future.

Four kids

m*rder*d in three nights,

and they never even caught the guy.

Yeah, it was just like

a horror movie.

We should

seriously start a podcast.

I don't know.

They're never gonna find the k*ller.

It's been 20 years.

Wait, how did they die again?

Didn't one get k*lled

at the old Marine Museum?

Oh my God.

I know that the first two

were at the mall.

Ew, malls.

Makin' my way downtown

Walkin' fast, faces pass

And I'm homebound

Starin' blankly ahead

Just makin' my way

Makin' a way through the crowd

And I still need you

And now I wonder

If I could fall into the sky

Do you think time would pass me by?

'Cause you know

I'd walk a thousand miles

If I could just hold you

Tonight

"Summer, now I'm free,

but you'll never be."

"You'll regret this."

"E"?

Luce?

What are you doing in here?

I was looking for you.

Well, it's time to go. We're leaving.

Welcome to Olive Garden.

The Field Family Special.

Thanks, Delores.

You look so much like her.

Sorry. Anything else you'll need?

- No, all set. Thank you, Delores.

- Okay.

Hey, how was your day, kiddo?

Um...

I got an internship.

You got a... a what?

- At NASA.

- NASA?

- I didn't know you'd applied for this.

- Where is it, honey?

Um, it's... it's in DC... this summer.

Uh...

I...

What about SONR?

You used to love

coming with me to work as a kid.

I could probably

get you an internship there.

It's right here in Sweetly.

- SONR's doing some cutting-edge work.

- Um...

Let's talk about this later.

We should eat

so we can go pay our respects.

Your mother used to cook,

and she was amazing.

Remember that, when Summer would help you?

I remember your first steps

like it was yesterday.

I miss playing with you.

At least you won't have to pretend

to let me win anymore.

Lucy, hon?

You brought something for Summer?

Yeah.

I left it in the car.

What the hell?

What?

What is happening?

Mom?

Where did they go?

What the hell?

No, no, no, no. No.

Mom?

Dad?!

Wait... The Riverside Grill's open?

2003?

What is going on?

I gotta talk to Mr. Fleming.

So yesterday

You can change your life, if you wanna

You can change your clothes

If you wanna

If you change your mind

Well, that's the way it goes

But I'm gonna keep your jeans

And your old black hat, 'cause I wanna

They look good on me

You're never gonna get them back

At least not today

Not today, not today

'Cause if it's over let it go and

Come tomorrow

It will seem so yesterday

So yesterday

I'm just a bird

That's already flown away

Laugh it off and let it go and

When you wake up

It will seem so yesterday

So yesterday

Haven't you heard

That I'm gonna be okay?

What's crack-a-lackin'?

- Figure out your outfit?

- I don't have anything to wear.

We're going to the mall.

- You excited for Spring Fling?

- Yeah.

Yo, Summer. Can we talk?

Jesus, Ethan. Take a chill pill.

Suck it, Val.

Come on, Summer.

Can we talk for a minute? Alone?

I... I gotta go. Ethan, I'm sorry.

Ethan Myers?

Hey, dude. You're trippin'.

Let her go.

I don't get it. She just ends it

out of nowhere after two years.

Don't let it get to you. Come on.

Let's go take it out on that nerd Quinn.

Please don't use my computer

to illegally download music.

What?

Oh...

- Are you a student here?

- Yeah.

Well, I will be. I have a question.

sh**t.

What are your thoughts on time travel?

Hypothetically speaking,

for a paper that I'm writing.

We're all time travelers.

You know,

scooting along at the stellar pace

of one second per second.

I'm... I'm sorry.

If only we could pop back to the moment

before you dropped that jar, Quinn.

Yeah.

Perfect timing.

Quinn here is a physics genius.

Yeah, um...

It's just... traveling into the past

is a horrible idea,

'cause you could create a paradox,

or multiple paradoxes.

You know, you could create a

ripple effect that could be devastating.

Okay, go to lunch. Both of you.

Get outta here.

All right.

Mr. Pickles deserves better.

How do you know his name?

Let's go, nerd!

Goin' swimmin'!

A beautiful day for a swim.

Hey, what's going on?

Seniors throw someone

in the river every year.

Stupid tradition.

Are you Emmy Golden?

Yeah. Why?

Nothing, nothing.

Please, stop!

- Man, come on.

- I can't hear you!

Guys, I said stop!

It's not funny anymore. Please!

Hey!

Ethan, you know I can't swim! Stop!

Hey, you got

your floaties on, huh?

Time to take a dip!

What's the problem, spaz? Can't you swim?

You know I can't swim!

Toss him in! Toss him in! Toss him in!

Hey! Put him down!

Just a joke.

Yeah, it's not funny.

Hey, you guys think it's funny?

Yeah!

Ooh!

It's kind of funny now.

Hey! What's going on?

I don't need a girl fighting my fights.

You know, you're lucky.

At my school,

everybody would've taken a video,

and you would've been viral on Twitter.

What's Twitter?

Whatever it's called now.

If you really are a physics genius...

I need to tell you something.

You're from the future.

Prove it, if you are.

Uh...

I'll show you.

- What is this?

- It's my phone.

You call people on this?

I don't... I don't really call people.

But it's my flashlight,

it's my alarm clock, it's my music,

it's my TV... It's everything.

You're from the future.

Yeah, look.

If you want to unlock it, Face ID.

Try to unlock it.

See?

Let me see that.

This must be a million bucks.

- Emmy, wait!

- What?

Look, I'm sorry.

This is insane.

- I can fix it, Emmy.

- Don't touch me, Summer.

This is not a phone.

This is like a miniature pocket computer.

I don't... I don't see any way you could

call someone on this thing. This...

Wait, wait, hold on.

I have a million more questions.

Is Arnold Schwarzenegger president?

It gets a lot worse.

Is, um... Is Paris Hilton still hot?

- That's your second question?

- I'm just curious.

- Do we have robot pets?

- We have a Roomba.

It's like a robot vacuum cleaner.

Quinn.

Hey.

Hey, Summer.

Hey, Quinn. I'm... I'm sorry about Ethan.

You know, he was just messing around.

Plus, I totally dumped him.

He's an as*h*le.

Um, did you do the chem homework?

Yeah. I have it back at my house.

You want it?

I can, uh, bring it to you if you need it.

Oh my God. Oh, that would

really save my life. Thank you.

Okay.

Do I know you?

You... You look really familiar.

Uh, no, I just have one of those faces.

No, no, no, no, no.

Hang on. It'll come to me.

Camp Deerkill. Three years ago?

- Yeah, yeah, I was... I was there.

- Yeah?

Yeah.

You were the girl that peed in the pool

and then denied it.

Mm-hmm.

- Well, excuse me.

- Mm-hmm.

Um, it was nice meeting you...

Lucy.

Lucy. That's my middle name.

All right, ladies, suit up!

This cannot be happening.

- There's something you need to see.

- Hm? Yeah.

You're telling me

this is a time machine?

There was a flash, and now I'm here, so...

Okay. I just thought a time

machine might look more futuristic.

Why'd you choose April 16th, 2003?

April 16th?

Oh sh*t. You're not doing anything

right now, are you?

No... no... no.

Great. Let's get me home.

Welcome.

This is so cool.

Yeah? Thank you.

I spend most of my time out here.

It's better than my... house, but...

Uh, give me a hand.

- Lucy.

- Yeah?

It's the heaviest time machine

I've carried. Please help.

Okay.

- The sides. You got it?

- Yep. Careful.

I'm being careful.

Slowly.

- Clear? All right.

- That was heavy.

Yeah.

This light was on before,

and now it's out.

"SONR."

You know,

maybe we just need another one of these.

SONR? Well...

We can't exactly walk up

to a nuclear research facility

and ask them for a sample.

My dad works there.

Oh my gosh.

Uh, excuse me.

These are my favorite.

- Plus, I haven't eaten since 2024.

- Okay. You're lucky I have another one.

Cheers.

To sending me home.

Emmy?

I really need to talk.

Can I... Can I see you tonight?

I have work.

I can come to the museum. Um...

I... I just... I really

need to talk to you...

Summer, stop.

You made your choice.

Please leave me alone.

Sorry.

Why were you worried

that today's April 16th?

If you knew something bad

was gonna happen tonight,

would you try to stop it?

No.

Right, but, you know, don't I have

some type of moral responsibility

if I know

something really bad starts tonight?

It'd be a huge mistake.

You should not change the past.

This isn't some Marty McFly scenario

where he just disappears from a photo.

You could create a paradox

where everyone, everywhere

just, whoof, disappears from every photo.

Just ceases to exist.

I've got to go to work, so...

Hey, uh, can you give me a ride?

I have a plan.

This is my house here.

This is your house? You live here?

Quinn! Hey!

Wait, is Summer your sister?

Don't act so surprised.

Just gonna grab my dad's key card,

and we're out of here.

Lucy, this is a stupid plan.

You should not interact with your family.

It's not the best,

but it's our only way into SONR.

Okay. All right.

Let's do it.

Hey!

Hey!

- Summer, um...

- Hi.

Hey.

I, um... I brought the homework

that you wanted.

Oh, this is actually...

This is calculus.

Do you have the chem homework?

That's kinda the one that I needed.

Yeah, sh**t, the chem homework.

No. You know what?

No, I don't have the chem homework,

but Lucy can help you.

She loves science. Right, Lucy?

Yeah, like, I know we literally just met,

but I am great at science.

- Better than Quinn.

- Really? Well, okay. Yeah.

- Okay, uh, sure. Thank you.

- Yeah, of course.

- Come on in.

- Sure.

Okay.

Okay, I'm going to work now. So...

Bye!

Okay, my house is kind of a mess,

but just ignore it.

God, I'm hungry.

I'm so hungry.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Food, hello.

Oh, who's this?

This is Lucy.

She's gonna help me with my homework.

- Nice to meet you, Lucy.

- Hi, Lucy.

I'm ready to eat.

It's nice to meet you guys.

Are you hungry?

We made way too much food.

- You should totally eat with us.

- Totally.

- Did you just say "totally"?

- Uh-huh.

You're more than welcome to.

I'd love to. Thank you.

Oh sorry.

You two are very cute.

Oh my God.

Val and Brian

are going to the mall tonight.

Maybe Lucy and I can go?

Nice try. Homework first.

And thank you so much, Lucy,

for helping Summer.

- She needs all the help she can get.

- Mom.

I'm sorry, sweetie,

but you just have so much potential.

You were doing so much better

when Emmy was helping you.

Did you two patch things up?

No.

This is amazing.

Do you cook like this all the time?

Aww. Summer and I cook dinner

almost every night.

Mm. Mm-hmm.

It's my favorite time with her.

You have family dinners at your house?

Not really.

- You're always welcome here.

- Yes, absolutely.

Hey, Lucy.

You okay?

Your parents are just...

nothing like my parents.

Lucky.

Do you see the way my mom

was getting onto me about my grades?

Yeah, my mom's the same way.

Not about grades, but everything else.

I'm not that great at math.

Or English.

Or Spanish, or science.

Last semester, Val and I

had to beg Mr. Fleming not to fail us.

Really?

Yeah.

Is that why Quinn does your homework?

He offered.

He's so sweet.

We've been friends forever.

He's kind of like a brother to me.

But my mom would k*ll me if she found out.

Question...

Your outfit.

What exactly were you going for?

Come with me.

'Cause I'm just a teenage dirtbag...

- It's a little much.

- No, it's not enough.

I'm just a teenage dirtbag, baby

Listen to Iron Maiden, baby...

Shut up!

God!

Shut up!

- Who's too glamour?

- You.

That's so fly!

Sorry!

Use me like a coat hanger.

- Next.

- Okay.

- Time is money.

- Okay.

What?

It's one size fits all.

- I look like Hannah Montana.

- Who?

Before we're done,

you're gonna look like Mariah!

Next.

We'll find it, don't worry.

Doesn't know what she's missing

It's not the worst.

My work here is done.

No offense.

None taken.

So, um...

You, Val, and Brian have been friends

for a long time, huh?

How do you know that?

Instagram.

Facebook.

Myspace.

I think Quinn told me.

I think it was really cool

how you stood up

to Ethan and Brian earlier.

I could never do that.

Yes, you could.

They're dicks.

I mean, they're harmless.

They're my best friends.

I really wish

we could go to the mall right now.

You could meet them.

What do you think? Leopard, zebra?

Either one would look good on my floor.

Behave.

I've known Val since I was, like, five,

and she's literally the sweetest person.

They're not perfect, but I wouldn't be

able to survive without them.

This might be

a weird question, but...

If you knew something bad

was gonna happen,

would you try to stop it?

Well, yeah. Who wouldn't?

What if it made

something bad happen later?

I would still try and fix the first thing.

Um, what time does the mall close?

Nine. Why?

- I gotta go.

- Right now?

What about the chem homework?

Okay.

Yes!

Can I have your attention?

We will be closing in five minutes.

We thank you for shopping with us today.

My fellow time traveler.

It's always so strange

seeing a student outside school.

Excuse me. Sorry.

- Can I use one of the change rooms?

- We're closing.

I'll be so quick.

Come on, you won't even know I'm here.

Please, please, please.

- Oh, and I need this in a medium.

- Of course you do. All right.

You can go in here.

I'll get you a medium.

Thank you.

Lucy?

Quinn!

Hey. Have you seen Val and Brian?

Yeah. Brian was in here earlier.

Rented American Psycho,

which is so on-brand for him.

Brian, come look at

how cute this outfit is.

"Baby,

do you like my leopard print jacket?"

"You're such an animal."

"Mm. Like that?"

Hey, your sh*t turned off.

You know where they are?

I think I overheard Val saying

that she wanted to go to Wetslide.

- Wetslide. Where is that?

- But I'm not sure.

- Third floor.

- Third floor.

Wait, Lucy. Why? Why?

Brian?

Brian!

Brian?

Brian, come on. This isn't funny.

Val!

Go!

Go! Go!

Val? Val!

Val!

Help!

Help!

Help!

No! No!

Lucy! What's going on?

Holy sh*t.

Watch that step right there.

All right. No one will know you're here.

Thanks for letting me crash.

You can just sleep here.

Here's a blanket for later.

And, uh, I just... In case you get chilly.

Thanks.

You okay?

The security guard...

He wasn't supposed to die.

I made the Sweetly Slasher

even more deadly.

Wait, wait.

Only serial K*llers get nicknames.

Yeah, he... he kills...

No, n-no, don't.

Don't tell me.

Except...

I mean, do they catch the guy?

I mean, my mom was always certain

that it was Ethan.

Supposedly, he had alibis

for all of the murders, but...

I mean, honestly,

these murders destroy this town.

Lucy, you can't stop this.

I'm sorry. It's just... whatever was

supposed to happen has to happen.

We should be focusing on

fixing the machine, getting you back.

I need to get my dad's badge.

Okay.

I'll go in the morning.

Where is it?

Lucy?

You asked if I would do anything

if I knew something

bad was gonna happen.

- And then you left for the mall.

- I went there to try to stop it.

How could you know?

- Unless...

- I should go.

No, my friends are dead.

You owe me the truth.

I know that. And I want to tell you.

But you're never going to believe me.

Yes, I will.

Please.

I'm your sister.

I just haven't been born yet.

What?

I'm from the future.

You're from the future.

Look. I can prove it.

In 20 years, I find this letter

from Ethan under your floorboard.

I've never seen this before.

Look,

you don't have to believe me, but...

why would I make this up?

Hey.

Figure out how to get me home yet?

No.

- Did you get your dad's badge?

- No, but I'll try again later.

I was gonna check out

the computer next.

You want me to start it up or...?

No, I got it.

- You okay?

- Yeah. I just need to go home.

Whoa.

You'd be amazed

what I can do on a home system.

I already am amazed.

"Fire Particle A into Particle B."

Okay. We know Particle A

is the laser beam,

but Particle B, I don't know.

It says here "rubidium."

Antimatter.

Right. Yeah.

Like, uh, like quantum entanglement.

Matter and antimatter.

If we had two entangled particles

on either end of the machine,

then we could connect them.

- Yeah.

- Like opening a microscopic wormhole.

Which you've traveled through.

So this canister from SONR

must've had enough antimatter in it

for it to create a singularity

big enough for you to travel through.

So that's what we need.

We need more antimatter.

Holy sh*t.

We have to get

into their power plant.

Maybe we can hack their website.

I'm gonna look up SONR.

I got it.

Wait, I think I made it angry.

- What? Relax. Give it a minute.

- Why is it making that sound?

What, the modem?

That's what a modem sounds like.

Oh.

I just checked all the connections.

Arm B is fully functional.

Now we just need a new canister.

Great.

You know, it sucks you have to leave.

It's kind of nice...

just, you know, having someone around.

Trust me. I'm not exactly looking forward

to going back to my life.

I can't exactly stay here.

Why don't you want to go back?

It's just...

I feel like nobody really sees me.

It can be lonely, you know?

Yeah, my, uh...

My dad left a couple years ago,

and my mom...

Um, I understand lonely, so...

Um, you know, if we get this thing fixed,

I'd love to take a peek at my future.

Why?

I just hope it's better than...

...this.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Hey.

You believe her, don't you?

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

It's totally crazy,

but it made a lot of things make sense.

You have to tell me everything.

Do I make it on Broadway?

Do I ever get married?

- Should I invest in Blackberry?

- Definitely don't do that.

Uh...

You don't have to worry.

You have a great life.

You have a... a great job, great friends,

an annoyingly handsome husband.

You have it all.

Wait, um... so who k*lled Val and Brian?

I don't know.

- They never solve any of the murders.

- There are more?

Oh my God. Who?

Look, you know,

you can't do anything about it.

Look, I tried last night,

and I made things worse.

Are you serious?

We have to do something.

Doing something in this context

is extremely subjective.

I mean, we could save a life.

We might also start World w*r III.

- Exactly.

- Just tell me who's next.

Lucy.

Just... Please.

Emmy Golden dies next.

Emmy?

She dies tonight at the Marine Museum.

Emmy.

We... We can't let that happen.

Quinn, please.

I need your help.

She's at the museum tonight,

and... Can you...

Yeah. Yeah, I can...

I mean, I can, like, drive or something.

Sorry, what happened to World w*r III?

I could be wrong.

Or we could alter the future,

and then we all die.

- We're not altering the future.

- No.

We're just giving it a little... makeover.

Makeover.

- A makeover.

- Yeah, like in She's All That.

Yes.

I don't remember that movie ending

in the destruction

of the space-time continuum.

I will not let Emmy get k*lled.

What kind of person just stands back

and lets something like that happen?

How are we doing this?

'Cause life's like this

That's the way it is

Chill out, whatcha yellin' for?

Lay back, it's all been done before

And if you could only let it be

You would see

Seriously? I've tried

the office number, like, three times,

and there's still no answer.

I'll search the Bradbury,

you guys search the Keenora,

the other boat.

There's a back entrance

that's never locked.

Watch your head.

Emmy, are you here?

Emmy?

Why did the k*ller have to choose

the world's creepiest museum?

Why would anybody work here?

Emmy?

Emmy!

Oh sh*t.

- What was that?

- I don't know.

No, no, no, no.

Oh my God.

I hate this museum.

Me too.

Come on.

Why'd you have to go

And make things so complicated?

I see the way

You're actin' like you're somebody else

Gets me frustrated

Life's like this

You, you fall

And you crawl, and you break

And you take what you get

And you turn it into honesty...

Emmy!

Emmy!

You're makin' me

Laugh out when you strike your pose

Emmy! Turn around!

They're above us.

Emmy!

Oh sh*t.

Emmy!

Behind you!

Summer?

It won't open! Summer!

- Lock the door.

- I'm trying!

Lock it, lock it, lock it!

Look out!

This way. Come on, let's go!

He's coming! Go, go, go!

Go!

Go! Go! Go, go, go!

Go! Go!

You okay?

Yeah. I think I'm just in shock.

Thanks for coming to save me.

We did it.

We saved Emmy, and no one else died.

Yeah, I just hope she lives

a very long, boring, and uneventful life.

I was thinking

that we could save the next person too.

Who is it?

Summer.

It's Summer?

Lucy, why aren't we driving

across state lines right now?

- We have to get her out of here.

- I know. We have to save her.

You have to tell her, Lucy.

I will.

I'm gonna tell her tonight.

You and Emmy...

What about me and Emmy?

The letter.

"You'll regret this."

I thought it was from Ethan, but it's not.

It's from Emmy.

Yeah.

Yeah, um, we promised

to come out to our parents.

And then I was afraid.

I don't think I can do it.

And I've never told anyone

that before, so...

I mean, it gets better.

Things aren't perfect,

but we've made progress.

No spoilers, but g*y marriage is legal.

Some really cool people come out.

The point is, you know,

you can be yourself.

Then why did you say

that I would end up with a husband?

I mean,

that's seriously a fate worse than death.

There's something that I...

need to tell you about your future.

- Hey, there.

- Hey.

- Summer.

- Delores.

Let me guess...

Chicken Alfredo,

cheesecake with extra strawberries.

Yes.

Please tell me they have

never-ending breadsticks in 2003.

- Duh.

- Make that two of each, please.

You got it.

Wait, are we friends?

I mean, I know I'm, like, 40,

but we're sisters.

It's a bummer you were born so late.

Were you an accident?

No.

They did IVF and everything.

Why did they wait so long?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

- I think they're delicious.

- It's not necessary.

Morning, Lucy.

Good morning.

You're up early.

I'm a... an early riser.

Come on. Come say hi.

Good morning, Lucy.

I hope Summer

wasn't too much of a bed hog.

No, I just couldn't sleep.

So, what are your plans

for the summer, Lucy?

Well, I... I got an internship at NASA.

NASA? Wow.

- That's amazing.

- Impressive.

Congratulations.

Your parents must be so proud.

Thank you.

Will you have some breakfast?

I'll get you a plate.

I actually gotta go, but thank you.

This might be kind of random, but...

did you guys

ever think about having another kid?

No.

Can you imagine?

Summer was quite a handful

as a baby.

I think one has always been enough for us.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Yeah.

Thanks again for having me.

Anytime.

Quinn?

Lucy.

I got my dad's badge.

- So, we're good to go to SONR.

- Cool.

We should test the lasers.

Did you, uh... Did you tell Summer yet?

Lucy.

You didn't.

Why not?

I wanted to, but...

I realized if she lives,

then I'll never be born.

So, you're just gonna let her get k*lled?

Did you hear me?

If she lives, then I'm gone.

Lucy, I can't just let her die.

I can't.

'Cause you're in love with her?

This isn't about me.

Please.

This is complicated.

We're sisters.

Hey.

There's something I need to tell you.

So if I die, you live.

And if I live, you don't exist.

Seems like it.

To be honest,

I never really existed anyway.

It always felt like my life

was defined by your death.

When you died,

you left this hole in our lives...

that Mom and Dad tried to fix with me.

I never knew you.

But I... I do now.

And I... I get it.

If I lost you, my...

my life would be ruined too.

It's okay to want to live, Lucy.

I don't know what's gonna happen...

to me.

No one does.

But I don't want a future

if you're not in it.

You have to do everything

that you want to do.

You have to live.

I have a plan to save you tonight,

but you have to trust me.

Okay.

Hey.

- You came.

- Yeah, that was the plan, right?

I'm sorry.

I was being selfish.

I... I understand.

I don't want to lose either of you.

Let's go steal some antimatter.

Hey, you coming?

Let's party.

Let's go!

Yes!

So, you really think we can save Summer

and send you home?

Yeah, if we stick to the plan,

and we k*ll the Slasher.

Oh sh*t.

Hide!

I'm livin' it up

The squad stay fillin' the truck

With chicks that's willin'

To triz with us, uh

You say you got a man

And you're in love...

Yo, DJ!

It's just a security guard.

Brian, Val...

Rest in peace.

This party's for you.

To a long life.

Cheers.

Cups up!

Hey, babe, this is our jam.

What's love...

I should've done this a long time ago.

What's love...

I love you.

I want you to remember that.

Why are you acting like

it's the last time I'm gonna see you?

I'm sorry.

Summer.

- All right. Come on. We gotta go.

- Hold on.

Yeah?

You didn't want to save Summer before.

What changed?

I got to know her.

I mean, my whole life, she was just this

looming presence

that I could never live up to.

And now she's my sister.

For real.

I have to try.

There you are.

Quinn.

Wow.

What the...

Lucy?

The Slasher's been here.

He needs antimatter.

The machine. That's his.

He's from the future.

That just means he's one step ahead of us.

No. He's not.

Because I'm from the future too.

This is where I die.

- Did we do it? Is he dead?

- Summer.

Summer!

It worked! She's alive!

Hey. Are you okay?

Come on! Go, go! Get in the car!

- Let's go!

- Yeah.

Come on! Get in!

- Come on! Let's go!

- Go!

The plan worked!

He's moving.

- What?

- He's moving.

Quinn.

- You gotta run him over.

- k*ll him!

Run him over.

Quinn, hurry up! k*ll him!

- Hurry!

- I can't! It's stuck!

Guys?

Quinn...

Oh my God.

Quinn?

It's me.

Put it in reverse, and get us out of here!

Floor it. Go!

- Get me to the time machine.

- It's in my garage, Lucy.

- He knows where I live.

- That's what I'm counting on.

Wait, Lucy. Wait.

I'm never gonna become that monster.

Okay? I promise. You have to believe me.

I do.

When he shows up, keep him distracted

while I power up the time machine.

Guys?

He's here.

Hey, guys.

What's going on?

What's going on?!

- What happened to you?

- Don't you mean, "What happened to us?"

No.

We're the same, buddy.

It was a lot of things.

Everyone looked down on me.

No one cared. They treated me like sh*t.

And then the river happened.

Oh, the river.

They threw you in.

And Summer...

Summer laughed while you screamed.

- That never happened.

- It did in my timeline.

And then things got worse.

- She made things worse!

- What the hell are you talking about?

Hey, hey!

Remember I wrote you a letter?

I spilled my guts.

And you told me...

that you could never love us like that.

'Cause you... are pathetic!

No.

I wanted to escape.

So I made a plan.

k*ll Summer,

k*ll all of her closest friends,

and then I would

just disappear through time.

Just because I rejected you

doesn't mean you get to m*rder me.

Hey.

If I die, you die, right?

You'll learn

that's not how time travel works.

Something you didn't plan for

when you m*rder*d Summer...

You created me.

Get her out of here!

Go!

You're really starting

to get on my nerves.

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

I'm gonna enjoy this.

Seriously doubt you enjoyed that

as much as I did.

I kind of liked having a sister.

I never got to tell her that.

Well, at least the Slasher's gone.

So is Lucy.

No, I'm not.

Lucy!

I came back.

And the Slasher?

He's dead.

But what about you?

What about your life, your future?

I got back to 2024

and started thinking that...

maybe where I'm meant to be is here.

With you.

You belong here.

This is your future.

Wait, so you k*lled the Slasher

and then, what? And then just came back?

Well, I may have gone home

to see if anything had changed.

Okay. And?

My parents had no idea who I was.

Tell me everything.

Let's just say there's no husband.

Dear NASA, thank you for accepting me

into the 2003 Internship Program.

As requested,

please find my personal statement below.

The biggest lesson I've learned in life

is to take advantage of the present.

Growing up, I felt trapped,

living in the shadow of the past.

I was told to take control of my future,

but the future is not guaranteed.

One moment in space and time

can change your life forever.

You can lose everything you love

in an instant,

or you can gain a new best friend

by giving someone a chance.

My friends have taught me

that we shouldn't spend too much time

regretting the past

or worrying about the future.

To the present.

The only moment worth fighting for

is the one happening right now.

Cheers.

Life is short.

All we can do

is enjoy the moment we're in

and hug the ones we love.

That time... is now.

I always wanted a little sister.

- I'm clearly the big sister.

- I'm definitely older.

No way.

I was born 20 years before you.

No, look at us.

I'm obviously the big sister.

No.

I can save you

I can take you away from here

So lonely inside, so busy out there

And all you wanted

Was somebody who cares

All you wanted was somebody who cares

If you need me, you know I'll be there

Oh, oh

Whoa, yeah

If you want to, I can save you

- I can take you away from here

- I can take you away

So lonely inside, so busy out there

And all you wanted

Was somebody who cares

Oh

- If you want to, I can save you

- Want to

- I can take you away from here

- I can take you away

So lonely inside, so busy out there

And all you wanted

Was somebody who cares

Please, can you tell me?

So I can finally see

Where you go when you're gone
