Space/Time (2025)

[bunniefuu]

(RADIO STATIC)

(RADIO CHATTER) We're heading to

the relay, start the shutdown

before the engine blows.

Maria. Thanner. They're gone

and I don't know where.

It just swallowed them up,

all of them.

Everyone from Lindstrom.

The relay is gone.

Six and seven are vented

and drained.

(RUMBLING expl*si*n)

Holt.

No!

(OVER RADIO)

We need a medic down here--

Liv!

(OVER RADIO) Holt is injured,

he's bleeding badly.

Liv!

Holt, you're right under

the engine you're not going to

make it out.

Don't!

(DEBRIS CLATTERS)

(STRUCTURE CREAKING)

(DEBRIS CRASHES)

(DISTORTION WAVE TEARS OPEN)

(HOLT) You see what's going

on out there?

Rising temperatures.

Extreme weather.

Over farming and widespread

pollution...

(OVERLAPPING) ...

climate shifting rapidly around

the globe...

...struggle with civil unrest

and violence.

(HOLT)

Everywhere.

It's imperative

that we revitalise crop

production.

We need a lasting,

long term solution.

Today's controversial

announcement to accelerate

funding for the NFC...

(HOLT)

You tell me.

...resources that could

transform

agriculture and food security

on Earth...

...experts agree that it is only

a matter of time.

(HOLT)

What's the solution?

(OVER RADIO) What you are

hearing behind me is

(OVER RADIO) the g*nf*re which

has been raging

(OVER RADIO) since three A.M.

this morning as the

(OVER RADIO) desperate

Portuguese masses clash

(OVER RADIO) with police,

in a disaster-ravaged city.

(OVER RADIO) It is the result

of torrential floods

(OVER RADIO)

which have washed away, what was

(OVER RADIO)

once the Portuguese coastline.

(MANNY OVER RADIO) Liv.

Holt said stop fiddling with

the sensors and get down here.

Yeah, I'm meeting the Lindstrom

guys out front when they arrive.

(MANNY OVER RADIO) Yeah,

they landed on the south end

of the island ten minutes ago.

(OVER SPEAKER) Attention all

crew. The Reiko Facility is in

lockdown.

sh*t!

Hey, you better hurry up.

We're all headed down to

the engine room now.

Sorry. Yeah,

I'll be down shortly.

I seem to remember you being

late to the press conference

last year as well.

It was Liv, wasn't it?

Good memory.

Sorry. I didn't know you'd

already arrived,

are there more of you?

Harris.

Harris

They're in the briefing.

sh*t.

I saw the Reiko Island piece

the BBC did.

-Pretty interesting.

-Ah, yes!

'Knocking the planet

of its axis'.

Oh, wait, was that

the 'triggering every volcano

on Earth'?

-That one?

-Yeah.

Yeah. That one was hilarious.

Come on.

C'mon.

Just between us,

you're seriously saying there's

nothing to worry about here,

just crushing space then.

Completely safe.

Not crushing.

Our engine simply fold space.

Everything in between is fine.

When we're done

we simply stretch it out again.

Everything's safe.

No one has even noticed.

And there you are,

at your destination,

a galaxy away.

You'd think the guy about to

design the ship would be able

to grasp the difference.

Crushing, folding.

I still say it's dangerous.

What happened to traveling

through space

the old fashioned way?

(LIV)

Hey.

This way is faster.

(VIDEO VOICE) It's one step

forward in technology,

(VIDEO VOICE) but one giant leap

forward for humankind.

(VIDEO VOICE) With the ability

to bend and fold

(VIDEO VOICE) With the ability

to bend and fold

(VIDEO VOICE)

the very fabric of space itself.

(VIDEO VOICE) The Caliver Engine

is the first engine

(VIDEO VOICE) able to bring your

destination to you,

(VIDEO VOICE) making

interstellar travel

instantaneous.

(VIDEO VOICE)

Reiko's team of--

Ms. Thanner.

Dr. Renault.

Ladies and gentlemen.

I think it's time we show you

what our engine can do.

(STEADY ENGINE HUM)

(OVER SPEAKER) All safety tests

must be completed now.

I don't think that's going to

fit any of our ships.

So build a bigger ship.

(RADIO CHATTER)

That's him.

Holt. The Lindstrom

team is here.

Okay, try it now.

You need to talk to them.

They can wait.

What did that do?

Anything?

(MANNY)

Not even close.

(LIV) Holt. This is tooimportant

to let slip away because you

don't like talking to people.

We have a dozen techs that

can do that.

It would take a dozen

techs to do this.

I already have the NFC

bean counters

watching my every move,

making sure no penny

goes astray.

Now I have to deal with

Lindstrom.

(SIGHS)

He's coming up.

Take them through to the beak.

HARRIS: Even more impressive

in person.

You can't be down here.

Okay, try it now.

You're the only one in

this place

who seems to know

what's going on.

I'm sticking with you.

Come on.

We're headed to the beak.

Beak?

Jesus, how big is this thing?

Big enough.

Big enough to save the world?

Right?

Right?

This is the beak.

You're testing this thing on

a pot plant?

Unless you're volunteering?

So where does it go?

There.

Baby steps, Harris.

It's going to be years before we

actually move a whole spaceship.

(NEWS ANCHOR ON TV) Three years

after the Reiko Island disaster,

that k*lled nine and

injured dozens.

The victims families will today

learn the findings

of the lengthy investigation

into the cause of the incident.

The demand for accountability

(HARRIS OVER PHONE)

Hey Liv, um.

Give me a call when you get

this. I heard about the job

interview and just,

There'll be others.

Stay positive. It's almost over.

I'll, uh, I'll meet you at

the lawyer's office, okay?

(LAWYER) All personnel at

the administrative level

of New Frontiers

have been cleared of any

wrongdoing.

Surely it's not as

simple as that.

So you're telling us it's over?

There was no wrongdoing found

at this level in the company.

Due to the magnitude of the

storm that hit the island.

There can be no doubt that

this incident

was not the result

of human error.

(HARRIS) Couple of notable

absentees from the meeting.

Harris.

Hope they send him a postcard

if they find whatever corner

of the world he vanished to.

-Let him know

he got away with it.

-Again?

Really?

We all know God damn well there

was no storm.

It's the bullshit, Liv.

The way they've spun it...

Do you want me in jail

to pay for my crimes?

I am just as guilty as Holt is.

You're not.

Hey, who's cheering who up

here anyway?

Stop moping, Liv. This is the

verdict we were hoping for.

I'm sorry.

You're right.

Well I don't care.

Just a salad I guess.

Mmhm, Come on.

If you want the duck,

just get the duck.

It's a celebration.

You got nothing holding

you back.

The job hunt can really start.

It sure will look good on a C.V.

Cleared of all charges.

I can hear them lining up.

You know, I'm not saying that.

Tried giving it time

and here we are,

three years later and--

hell of a three years.

Hey hey hey hey.

Pretty great three years,

if you ask me.

I just don't know what I can do.

That's okay.

You don't have to know.

I just...

I just need to figure

out myself.

What I want.

(RENAULT)

Olivia.

Oh, God.

Renault, hi!

Harris is here too,

he's just bringing

the car around.

Oh, yes.

I heard that you and he were,

um, that's great.

You must be excited about

starting phase two.

No. I left Lindstrom long ago,

just after the island, really.

Right.

I just.

When something like

that happens,

you really, take stock of things

and for me,

it was time to move on.

So, what are you doing now?

Oh, would you believe

I was going to call

you about it?

It's a...

It's a personal project

I have wanted to try

for a while.

Got investors?

Well, one.

But, when that one is

Julian Boulevont

you don't really need

any others.

Jesus.

Boulevont.

Impressive.

And you were going to call me?

Well, that's a sure way to scare

off any investor.

My reputation, since the island

It is not even a worry.

You leave that to me.

Sounds intriguing.

What sort of--

I really need someone

with your skills

on this project, Olivia.

So, why don't you just come

and take a look at my setup,

I will.

All right then.

Oh, do you want to wait

and say hello to Harris?

He's just coming around.

I'm so sorry, my dear.

I catch up with him

another time.

(HARRIS)

Renault?

As in Henri Renault?

(ON TELEVISION)

Without a successor to NFC

(ON TELEVISION) we could have as

little as two years

(ON TELEVISION)

to prevent an irreversible--

Two years?

Geez.

Liv.

He, um...

he offered me a job last night.

(ON TELEVISION) The whereabouts

of the controversial figure

He, um,

(ON TELEVISION)

are currently unknown.

He wants me to come and

take a look at his setup.

Well, that's great, isn't it?

So, what will you be doing?

Um, he didn't really say.

I don't even know what

the project is.

Hmm.

Yeah, that's what I'm

going to find out.

It's being funded by Boulevont.

It's real.

God, Boulevont -

the mystery thickens

We had to deal with him a few

years back on the micro-med

nano project.

My team designed the algorithm

so that the bots could

replicate.

And we use some of your notes.

You know what I'm trying to say

is that he's odd.

Yeah.

You know any reclusive

billionaire

industrialists who aren't?

I thought he was taking

a step back from the company.

He's got health issues.

Really?

Yeah.

So why didn't you mention

any of this?

What are you talking about?

I just did.

Oh. Last night you didn't

say a word.

Look, I'll head out.

I'll check out his setup,

if I don't like it--

Okay.

I hope it all goes all right.

Harris.

No. It's okay.

It's just.

I've got a meeting.

Talk about it tonight.

Alright?

But, uh, mind yourself, darling.

[Laughs]

Look, it's a little isolated but

that's kind of the idea.

It's often beneficial to be

out of the way

left to one's own devices.

Right.

Well, I, um...

Oh, I suppose that

depends on what one is

working on.

In wartime

people were scared enough

to allow science

to progress as fast as it could.

Paige.

That's when the real strides

were always made.

but we do not have that

advantage.

Do we, Olivia?

We must not be afraid

of trying new things.

Why is there an NFC crate--

(HOLT)

Without perseverance...

Progress is impossible.

When we hit a hurdle,

it doesn't mean the race

is over.

We set out to achieve

something, Liv.

We spent years with that

plan in mind.

If we roll over after just

one fall...

We were never going to succeed

in the first place.

Liv.

The people that died on that

island were there for a reason.

They believed in something.

In this.

Do you remember why you

signed up to begin with?

Nothing's changed.

Come on.

You see it all just like I do.

Things are bad and

getting worse.

What's the solution?

What's our best shot

at really changing things?

At finding something new?

We need to finish what we

started, Liv.

And I need you with me.

(OVER SPEAKER)

The Caliver test will commence

in T-minus 2 minutes.

(OVER SPEAKER)

All teams are checked in

at their stations and ready.

(OVER SPEAKER)

Initialising test sequence.

(OVER SPEAKER)

Standby to commence fold.

Take it away when you're ready.

(EMITTER POWERS UP)

(OVER SPEAKER)

Engine chambers primed.

(OVER SPEAKER)

Countdown on my mark.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

Chamber One open.

(ENGINE STRAINING)

Get ready.

and stabilise.

One is locked in.

Here we go.

(WHIRRING ENGINE)

Steady.

That one's a little hot.

Isaac.

(OVER SPEAKER)

Chamber two.

(ECHOING BOOM)

(WHOOSH OF DISTORTION)

What was that?

(OVER SPEAKER)

Relay reports no change.

(ISAAC OVER RADIO)

We're heading to the relay.

(ISAAC OVER RADIO)

Start the shut down.

(ISAAC OVER RADIO)

Before the engine blows.

What?

(OVER SPEAKERS)

The relay is fully responsive.

Standing by.

Isaac, repeat.

(OVER SPEAKER)

Chamber Four is in the red.

Vent Gate Four.

Open it.

Lock it.

Okay, it's reached Point B.

(OVER SPEAKER)

Standby to close the fold.

(HARRIS OVER RADIO)

We need a medic down here.

(HARRIS OVER RADIO)

Holt is injured. I repeat,

Holt is injured.

(HARRIS OVER RADIO)

He's bleeding badly.

(HARRIS OVER RADIO) We need

a medic down here quickly.

Three.

Two.

One.

(SMASHES)

(AUDIBLE GASP)

(ENGINE BOOMS LOUDLY)

Shut it down.

The entire console's lost power.

Okay now it actually is

the relay hub.

It's dead.

Holt!

It's still accelerating.

What do we do?

Liv.

I need you to help me get

everyone out.

I'm heading down to clear

the personnel below.

(ENGINE ROARS VIOLENTLY)

Everyone out!

Get out!

Get yourselves out now! Go!

We're heading to Evac Point One.

Holt. How long until

you're at evac?

(HOLT OVER RADIO) Liv, I've got

to shut this thing down.

But they've given

the evacuation order.

(HOLT OVER RADIO) With the relay

out, someone has to stay back

and drain those energy chambers.

What, manually?

Is he insane?

Liv, he doesn't have a choice.

If this thing blows - with all

that stored energy...

There is no evacuation.

We're on tiny island

in the middle of the Pacific.

Right. Isaac,

we're closer to the relay.

Harris, help Maria get

everyone out.

(ISAAC) We're heading to

the relay. Start the shutdown

before the engine blows.

(POWERING DOWN SOUNDS)

(PAIGE OVER RADIO)

Liv! Where are you?

I'm here.

I don't know what this is.

(TV PUNDIT)

I'll tell you what it is.

(TV PUNDIT)

It's a wake up call.

Hey, there she is.

How did--

Hey! You okay?

How was it?

It's, um...

Long drive out there.

Not my kind of job.

Waste of time, really.

Hey.

Like you said,

there'll be other offers.

That's a shame.

You want to watch some TV?

Order some pizza.

Actually,

I'm gonna go for a quick run.

You're going the other

way with that.

Well, if there's a pizza here

when you get back, don't--

get angry with me.

(ON TELEVISION) They too will

still face tighter restrictions

(ON TELEVISION)

in an effort to delay further

(ON TELEVISION)

environmental deterioration.

(ON TELEVISION) The urgent need

for a comprehensive

(ON TELEVISION)

and experts caution

(ON TELEVISION) that without

significant progress

within the next two years

the situation may become

irreversible.

Okay.

You have one chance here.

I have one question for you,

and you better know the answer

or I'm gone.

You have my assurances,

we're making every effort--

No.

We'll get to that.

Maria.

Thanner.

Isaac.

Do you actually know

what happened to them?

Because if you don't, this whole

thing is being shut down.

Now.

There was a secondary output

of fluctuating energy.

Now, I warned NFC

We needed a larger

surge inhibitor

to protect against any

unforeseen bursts.

But it didn't fit their budget.

Well, if NFC couldn't afford

a larger one

with their billions of dollars,

then how do you expect--

I'm building one.

From scratch.

And where do I fit in?

I need someone to design seven

new energy chambers.

And I need the best.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Let's skip the flattery, though.

What I need to know is that this

is all being done the right way.

It is.

There's a particle compressor

in the hall back there,

and I know there's no way

you have a permit for it.

New Frontier's gone, Liv.

We're stretched as far as we

can go on Boulevont's money.

Permits and taxes are luxuries

we just can't afford.

-Cutting corners--

-No.

Isn't that insane?

No, not cutting corners. No.

We're being smart about it.

And you know that safety is

something I've never taken

lightly.

We figured out what went wrong

and we fixed it.

We just don't have the

funding we had before.

This is the only way.

It's as simple as that.

Everyone here is the best at

what they do.

I can rely on them.

Now I'm going to finish

this engine.

Then we can go. Explore.

Find what we need to fix

this mess.

The events of Reiko

aren't going to happen again.

I promise.

So starting from scratch.

Seven chambers.

It's been on three months?

Have you started draining

the runoff energy yet?

A quantum extractor costs around

a quarter of a million,

you know?

I'll have one here by morning.

Easy as that?

I see he convinced you?

Where was I supposed to go?

Yeah, tell me about it.

Okay,

so that's that.

What now?

I need you to start mapping

those energy chambers.

You want to take a look at her?

Designing mainframes,

that's great.

LIV: Mm.

I'm glad you came around.

I mean, I know he's an odd guy,

but he's pretty switched on.

It's going to be great.

I know it's not what you

wanted, but--

No, it is good.

I really need this.

I think if...

Car's here.

(KISSES)

Hey!

Hey! Whoa whoa whoa!

Hey, wait, wait.

What's that?

It's the extractor core

you asked for.

It looks used.

Do you have any idea what one

of these would cost brand new?

Yes, I do.

That was my point.

Where would you even find one

second hand?

We know a guy.

Are you sure it works?

We're supposed to be

using this thing to fold space.

Would you want to sell me faulty

merchandise?

This is all new.

So how long before we

can test it out?

Just need Innis to give it

a good look over.

Main shaft's useless.

Needs replacing.

sh*t.

The shaft?

Don't worry.

I know a guy.

(THUNDER)

(EXTRACTOR POWERS UP)

We'll just let it run overnight.

It's very different to

last time.

Like I said,

it has to be.

So you and Harris.

How's he with all this?

Not my biggest fan, I imagine.

I, uh...

I think I'm probably

better off just

avoiding the issue with

him for now.

Don't give me that look.

Things are great between

us, and I'm

all for honesty. But...

Sometimes I think it's

best just,

you know, I think it's,

it's complicated.

Oh, it always is.

It always was

with me and Fiona.

I forget you used to be married.

Seems so out of character.

Well,

I suppose you didn't know

me back then.

I was a different man.

I hadn't made the decision yet.

I know I'm going to regret

asking this, but

what decision?

I hadn't decided

if my work was getting in

the way of my home life,

or if my home life

was getting in the way

of my work.

You're saying you can't

have both.

Not necessarily.

But until you decide

which it is,

both halves will suffer.

And even worse,

for people like us,

so driven, so focused.

It's not as easy as choosing

which half

you like more.

It's all or nothing.

It pretty much comes down

to which life

you're willing to sacrifice

for the other.

Not everyone is you, Holt.

(CHUCKLES)

No.

Not everyone.

(HARRIS ON PHONE)

Hey. So I'm at the place

(HARRIS ON PHONE)

we said six right?

(LIV ON PHONE) Sorry,

I had to wait for some parts to

come in before I could leave.

(LIV ON PHONE)

I'm coming now.

(LIV ON PHONE) Listen,

I might have to go back in again

after dinner.

(LIV ON PHONE) Renault needs me

to look over some things.

(LIV ON PHONE)

I'll make it up to you.

(LIV ON PHONE)

Promise.

I'm heading out with the boys.

We just blew another inhibitor.

Got to pick up a replacement.

(LIV)

The surge shield?

How strong is it?

You need to go by the oscilating

measurements, not the alpha.

That's why they're shorting out.

Want to tag along?

What do you think?

It's not going to take half

the energy

that thing's going to put out.

sh*t.

This is it.

This is as strong as they come.

We can't just walk away.

-These guys--

-I get it.

Have probably ripped this out

of an Israeli sub or something.

But it doesn't do the job.

Everyone, back to the car.

-We're not taking it.

-What?

It's broken.

Here's half for their troubles.

Oh, sh*t.

Yeah, mi scusi.

(SHOUTING IN ITALIAN)

(VAN ENGINE REVS)

(SHOUTING IN ITALIAN)

Is that the splitter box?

Jesus.

(PAIGE) It'll still work.

That's how they sold it to us.

Who?

Gordo knew a guy.

Olivia, my dear, what's up?

I need to talk to Holt.

I'd give him a minute.

(HOLT)

What I'm saying here--

(BOULEVONT)

It's just not good enough.

(BOULEVONT) It's not even close

to the schedule we agreed--

(HOLT)

I'm not extending your sunroom.

Nobody's done this before.

There's always going to be

unforeseen complications.

Julian, if you want to be

a pioneer.

If...

you mention the Wright brothers

one more time

I'm going to puke.

I'm not some hayseed oil tycoon.

I get what I paid for.

Not, uh,

chatter.

If this is not up and running

by the 31st

I'm handing it all over

to my own

research and development guys.

That's crazy.

They wouldn't have the first--

They might not be Tesla

Marconi or

Well,

but I'm sure they'll

figure it out.

And at least with my guys,

I know I'll get results.

And we wouldn't want

another Reiko.

Would we?

(TV BEEP)

(LIV)

So that was him.

The man with the money?

Yep.

So keen on space travel

he's willing to risk

millions, to--

I really need this.

Oh, my brain is just imploding

right now.

See, I came up here to

set a few things straight,

and now half of me is saying,

'Calm down, Liv.

This isn't the time'.

Very, very not the time.

What we're doing here. Okay.

Even under the best

of circumstances,

we're pushing our luck.

But on top of that,

you've got Fagin's

little pinchers

out there stealing

the rubber bands

we're using to keep this

thing together.

You really think that--

Oh, sorry. Yeah. No.

Not stealing.

They know a guy.

We are wasting time.

Two years until

the tipping point.

Do you really expect

me to trust--

I do.

I do expect a little trust.

That's the deal.

Oh my God.

Reiko was a disaster.

NFC's bureaucracy cost

people their lives.

I was drowning in paperwork,

not focusing on what

was important.

So, yes, it's different

this time, thank God.

It has to be different.

There's no publicity machine.

There's no corporate protocol.

This time,

it's just about the work.

It's about having

the right people.

And yes, it is about trusting

those people.

Now, it may not look pretty

and I'm sorry if it doesn't fit

with your ideals.

But this.

This is it.

This is the only way.

What if I need more than that?

Then maybe you need to

work that out once and for all.

(PAIGE ON RADIO)

Where are you?

(LIV ON RADIO)

I'm here.

(LIV ON RADIO)

I don't know what this is.

We got stuck on level two.

There was this

energy field

blocking the way out.

We're on our way back down.

(LIV ON RADIO) I think I'm

looking at one right now.

(PAIGE ON RADIO)

They're all over the facility!

Oh.

(HOLT ON RADIO) Control.

Give me regular readings.

of fifty megatons.

He's Isaac's.

(ISAAC ON RADIO) We're heading

to the relay. Start the shutdown

before the engine blows.

Thanner, they're gone

and I don't know where.

(PAIGE ON RADIO) It just

swallowed them up. All of them!

Everyone from Lindstrom.

(LIV ON RADIO)

The relay is gone.

Six and seven are vented

and drained.

Holt.

(HARRIS OVER RADIO)

No. We need a medic down here.

(HARRIS OVER RADIO)

Holt is injured.

I repeat Holt is injured.

Liv!

Holt you are right under

the engine.

You're not going to make it out!

No!

(DEBRIS CLATTERS)

(STRUCTURE CREAKING)

(DEBRIS CRASHES)

(LIV)

Holt!

On Reiko,

the power this thing was

putting out.

It would rip that inhibitor

apart like a beer can.

Come on, kids,

let's get to work.

We've hit a roadblock.

A big one.

So, what do you need?

That's the problem.

We don't know.

We need a shield.

Energy inhibitors.

They stop the secondary flow--

Do you have any idea how--

Yes, I have some experience

in this.

Yes.

Wait.

What about that safe

room you built?

It's a tiny box for emergencies.

It neutralizes all energy,

not just the secondary flow.

We're not building this thing

to hide from it.

No.

All this is for nothing

unless we can make that engine

safe enough to work.

Well, when you can't stop a

river from crashing down on you.

You have to learn to

flow with it.

That makes no sense.

But the force of energy.

What I'm saying is flow with it.

But that's insane.

That would mean that

every part--

He's right.

Of course I am.

Every particle.

We can't stop the bursts

of energy.

We have to flow with them.

Nanos.

We program nanos into a human.

They latch on to every particle,

keeping the person together.

They run in sync with the engine

so when the energy wave hits,

they go with it.

This is sounding crazy.

On an atomic level.

It'll work.

You are gonna need some pretty

g*dd*mn amazing nanos.

Do they even come that small

and complex?

Yeah. They do.

Well, if you thought

the inhibitor was rare

and expensive.

We can do this.

You sure?

I know a guy.

Julian Boulevont.

Yep.

We know him.

He's dying.

It's a big secret.

Nobody knows.

Stage four lung cancer.

He's had it for years.

Man's a survivor.

I'm sorry.

How do we know?

He's got one thing keeping

him alive.

Nanos.

He's filled

with an army of microscopic

bots, all fighting to keep

the cancer contained.

Again, how do we know?

Harris.

Lindstrom built them

for Boulevont.

I'm not supposed to know.

How much do you think?

Well, Julian paid over five

billion for them.

(WHISTLES)

But don't worry.

They're not for sale.

He's in town right now.

Think you better give

the boss a call.

Come on.

We're all in now.

Aren't we?

We have to be.

You're home early.

Fair enough.

I'm going to make myself

a lasagna.

I didn't think I'd have company.

Should be enough for two.

I can't tell.

I have no idea.

Is it a good job or not?

You're up, you're down.

Harris.

There's no reason why I

should know.

You're working

for the CIA maybe.

I think I'm going to quit.

You think, but you don't know.

Okay, I'm assuming

you're not actually working

for the CIA

but can you at least tell me why

you don't know?

I don't think I can.

That's going to make

this tricky.

You're afraid I won't understand

because I'll try.

I'm an open minded guy,

aren't I?

I mean, you're not building

bombs, are you?

Or working for t*rrorists.

So long as you're not off

working with...

(SOBS)

(INHALE)

I won't even

ask you what he's got you

working on.

Because, honestly,

I don't want to know.

If there was any justice,

he'd be--

Nine people died, Liv.

Your co-workers.

And he didn't even.

I don't even know

where to start.

(LAMP SMASHES)

No.

I'm sorry.

You've been working with him

for weeks now,

on God knows what.

You've been working with him in

secret, and lying to me.

You can say what you

want, but...

You've made your decision.

(SOBS)

(DALE ON PHONE)

Don't worry.

Holt says you can stay at

the warehouse.

We'll come get you.

We're on the way to pick up.

You can make sure the parts

are compatible for us.

(CAR PULLING UP)

(DOOR SLAMS)

(FUNK MUSIC PLAYS ON RADIO)

So that's three chambers filled.

Once we source those nanos,

we can start our first test.

God, I still can't get

over that.

The chambers on the last engine

took months to fill.

That's Innis.

The carbon ducts were his idea.

What used to take weeks

and months is now a matter of--

Did you hear?

We were just talking about you.

Join us.

He's dead.

(NEWS REPORTER)

Boulevont has been found

dead in his apartment.

One of his bodyguards

found the deceased recluse

in the early hours

of this morning.

Authorities say

there are no suspicious

circumstances,

but insiders speculate that

the CEO had

secretly been battling

lung cancer for years.

What was that?

What was what?

Remarkable timing.

What?

Have you got something to

say to me?

You just couldn't

leave it alone, could you?

He knew what this thing

really was,

and he was a loose end, so you--

Wait, what? You think Holt did

this for his nanos?

That's crazy.

Do you have, um, any idea?

The investigation.

The number of calls he

made to us.

I'm no k*ller, Henri.

Now, unless you have any actual

evidence, then.

We are about to have

this place raided by

the authorities.

I suggest we all get

out of here.

What we need to do is go

back to work.

In just a few hours,

we're going to have enough

energy to get this thing

running.

Oh, Jesus.

You know what?

If there is anyone here

who still trusts me.

Feel free to stick around.

Otherwise.

I didn't know you had it in

you, old man.

You going to tell us

what that was all about?

What are they talking about?

They're nuts, right?

They can do what they want.

I need sleep.

Hey!

None of this will matter

tomorrow.

Now, if you're truly ready

to make some history with me.

I'll see you in the morning.

(PAIGE OVER RADIO)

Maria. Thanner. They're gone

And then...

I'm telling you, it did.

(OVER RADIO) What you are

(LIV)

Hello?

(OVER RADIO) since three A.M.

this morning as the

(OVER RADIO) desperate

Portuguese masses clash

(OVER RADIO) with police,

in a disaster-ravaged city.

Holt?

(OVER RADIO) It is the result

of torrential floods

(OVER RADIO)

which have washed away, what was

(OVER RADIO)

once the Portuguese coastline.

Anyone?

(ENGINE STRAINING)

Third gear.

We're close now.

Where's Renault?

Where's Gordo?

Very,

very close.

...and Innis?

Anyone?

Holt, there's no one here.

Who the hell is going to

run this thing?

We don't need anyone else.

That was the idea.

Too many cooks last time.

A smaller operation.

This time we'll be able to

keep a reign on it

It's all pretty grim, isn't it?

Doesn't matter.

Grab me a circuit board,

would you?

It doesn't matter.

How can you say that?

Because when I'm done here

it won't.

What happened?

Give that to me.

Answer me!

What did you do to Boulevont?

It doesn't matter.

Was it an accident or

intentional?

Did he have a family?

Doesn't matter.

When I think about the years

I've given to this thing -

to you.

You're not understanding me.

(DISTANT THUD)

Are you going to make me

understand

the blurry difference

between right and wrong?

You're about to give me

a 'gotta break

some eggs to make an

omelet' speech?

Nope.

I'm just going to show you

how to un-crack the eggs.

-What?

-See?

I'm saying it actually

doesn't matter.

I'm saying

that when this thing is working,

it is all irrelevant.

Every wrong, every mistake

erased, we can start fresh.

A clean slate for everyone.

This isn't the Caliver engine.

-It is--

-Not the one I built.

It's better.

You were there.

You saw what it did on Reiko.

Is it working?

Think of what we can do.

Yeah.

I remember Reiko.

The room

and the people disintegrating

around us.

I remember.

What if it didn't end that way

on the island that day?

What if

whatever happened,

we could control?

We are not having this

conversation.

We don't know what--

We never do!

The car was built a century

before anyone even realized

what damage emissions caused.

Science is always two steps

further forward than it

should be.

We never see the

dangers of progress coming,

except now.

Liv.

For the first time,

we can literally see the

problems coming and avoid them.

This thing can erase

the very mistakes

it was built on.

That's why you did it.

He knew what this engine

really was.

(DEVICE POWERS UP)

(WATCH BEEPING)

(SHOCKWAVE expl*si*n)

He wanted it for himself

and you went and--

(SHOCKSTICK IGNITES)

Listen to me.

This.

This can't happen.

The potential dangers

are just too out of control.

It was out of control that

day years ago.

I know, but it's just energy.

Once we harness it,

once we control it--

It tore them apart!

But now we have the nanos.

They're programmed

and installed and ready to go.

It was random bursts on

the island,

but not anymore.

They're in here.

The engine and the passenger.

We're working in sync.

I flow where it flows.

And where are you planning

to flow to?

We were supposed to be

looking for

something better.

Jesus, Harris was right.

You are so obsessed

with progress that... You keep

talking about a solution.

There's a real shitstorm brewing

out there and...

This is the solution!

A storm is coming,

and it will wipe everything

clear away.

And long after it settles

with this,

we will arrive at the dawn

of a new day

and start again.

That's great.

So that's it.

It's not about building

anything any more.

We're just going to let

everything we've ever done

just be buried?

Jump over the mass

grave of rubble

and destruction to your

perfect future.

Start again.

That's the plan?

It's the same plan.

Liv.

Five years ago,

we were building a life raft

to get off this sinking ship.

No, that's not what we

were doing!

Yes, it was.

What's changed?

We can't stop what's coming.

But we can jump past it.

You know there's no fixing it.

(ENGINE STRAINING)

Fourth gear.

We're three hours out.

We're just three hours.

Give me that much so I can

show you what

this is.

Liv!

Switching this on again

without any idea what

will happen.

You're insane.

Oh, Jesus.

You weren't ready.

I shouldn't have told you.

I should have let you

see before--

Well too late,

you can't change that now.

Can you?

(STUNNER ZAPS)

I know.

I'm sorry.

Holt.

Don't.

It's too dangerous.

Okay. Now.

Three hours.

I can fix this.

You'll see.

You'll be safe in here.

(STIFLED SNIFF)

He hit you with a tranq.

Come on.

You'll get better.

Just relax.

This is what I used to

wake you up.

You'll need it later on.

He keeps them in his trunk.

Feeling better?

(SQUEALS)

Great. We need to hurry.

(MICROPHONE FEEDBACK)

(OVER SPEAKER)

Okay.

What?

(OVER SPEAKER)

Hold still.

You know, you can trust me.

Oh, what the hell?

(OVER SPEAKER)

Come on.

Once he told you what

the engine was for.

You saw this coming.

It was your idea.

(FUTURE LIV OVER RADIO)

Yeah, well,

Great, you've got nanos all

through you.

I just had to make sure

they're working.

I mean, I guess I didn't.

I guess I already knew.

Man, this is already weird.

Okay.

You ready?

We need to stop him.

I'm just going to be calibrating

those little buggers inside you.

(PIERCING SHRIEK)

(RETCHING)

Hey, I'm...

I'm not exactly 100% yet.

The irony is we actually

don't have a lot of time.

Move it!

Clothes in the corner.

(FUTURE LIV OVER RADIO)

Lucky for us,

he can only go back a couple

of months

to when the engine was first

switched on.

He can't jump any further

back than that.

Oh, hey,

what the hell is going on?

It's okay.

I'm going to walk you

through this.

He locked you up

but you came up with a plan,

remember?

And so far, it's working.

But he's about to jump

for the first time,

and we need to stop him

making that jump?

(FUTURE LIV OVER RADIO)

Absolutely not.

No. We can't.

He's already jumped in

the future.

Okay? This is very dangerous.

What we're dealing with.

We need to respect all history.

Past and future.

Wait.

How do you know

the future? If...

If he hasn't jumped yet.

How do you know what--

(FUTURE LIV OVER RADIO) Because

I do. Because I've lived it.

Because I'm here.

(NANOS CALIBRATING)

Jesus, could you not?

(FUTURE LIV OVER RADIO)

He's going back.

(LIV WINCES)

He's trying to change it.

Change what?

(FUTURE LIV OVER RADIO)

When he told you what the

engine really was,

he didn't like your reaction.

So he's going back to

change it to stop

that conversation from ever

happening. Get me?

We have to stop him from

changing history.

If he succeeds in altering

the timeline,

the consequences could be

catastrophic.

End of the universe stuff.

Wait.

What the hell are you doing?

You came back here.

You dragged me out.

You're changing it.

(FUTURE LIV OVER RADIO)

I'm not changing anything.

This is how it happened for me.

How? What happened?

(FUTURE LIV OVER RADIO)

Thirty minutes ago, I was you

listening to this sentence

and this sentence and

this sentence.

And all I was told

is what I'm telling you.

That man with that engine

could mean the end

of everything.

So I'm here to guide you

the same way I was--

(VIOLENTLY VOMITS)

Guided.

Forgot about that.

Listen,

the nanos in your suit and

the nanos inside you

work together with

the engine to--

Hey. Hey! Hey!

Oh, God.

This is William Arthur Holt.

The date is the 15th

of August, 2033.

The time is coming up on

0800 hours.

And I'm about to become

the first human on record

to reverse

along a fourth

dimensional plane.

(HIGH-PITCHED ENGINE WHINE)

In the fifth gear,

the range at the moment

is limited.

But as the engine clicks up

in the gears

We'll be able to travel further.

Further forward.

Further back.

(ENGINE POWERS UP)

The engine will project me

three hours into the past.

I will remain there

for only about a minute or so,

due to the amount of power

required to make the jump.

While I'm away,

the engine and I will

be tethered.

Still experiencing time at

the same rate.

(ENGINE POWERS UP)

One minute will pass

for each of us,

even though we exist in

different times.

And then I'll automatically

be snapped back.

(ENGINE SURGES)

I don't know what records

will keep of this trip.

As the very point of this test

is to change history.

(ENGINE SURGES)

But.

Well,

into the great unknown I go.

(ENGINE STRAINING)

For the benefit of us all.

Don't worry,

you're about to snap back.

(LIV IN PAIN)

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO)

Good work.

You stopped him from

changing the past.

Now we've got to take control

of the engine from him.

Where are we?

Stop!

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO)

Back at the jump point

where you started.

You've trusted me this far.

Why not now?

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO)

The bad news is

Holt's not going down

without a fight.

He's plotting in another jump.

He needs you out of the way.

Once you are,

he'll be free to use the engine

to change

whatever he wants.

The worse news is that with

every jump,

those nanos are going to have

a harder time

keeping you together.

I know you can already feel it.

So that means

we've got to destroy this

thing using

as few jumps as possible.

You hear me?

No matter what happens,

we need to destroy this thing

without hesitation.

Quick!

Hold on.

It's about to get rough.

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO) You're

What the hell do you think

you're doing?

Oh, are you trying to k*ll us?

We're going to disable

the guidance system.

Get to a terminal.

(ENGINE GRINDS LOUDLY)

First step.

Isolate the compressor.

Now flip the relay.

Cutting the power with

off is going to create

No!

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO)

Hey! Look out!

Yeah, it's jumped you

back a while.

You got to keep moving.

I need you to get to

Here it comes.

One more second.

(DISTORTION INTENSIFIES)

I bought you some time alone.

You've probably got

a few minutes before Holt

pops up again.

So stay on your toes.

So what now?

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO)

Well, we've taken control

of the engine,

so we're going to plot

a few jumps of our own.

But listen,

with the damage we've done,

one way or another,

the engine is going to blow.

I'm hoping the safe room

will be enough

to protect you both

from the blast.

Okay.

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO)

But with the nanos,

Oh, right.

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO)

They're already starting to

destabilise inside you.

I don't know if the safe room

is going to be enough.

This was always the way

it had to be.

We're all in now.

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO)

Hotwire the relay

Start by reversing the conduct--

Thanks.

I got it.

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO)

I know you do.

You'll need to program

your first jump

to take you back a week or so.

Okay,

one week back.

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO) Remember,

you have to preserve history.

Everything depends on it.

Don't be seen. Don't be heard.

Do what has to be done and

(FUTURE LIV ON RADIO) The nanos

are already programmed.

There's an injector in

the med bay.

There's a nice suit in your size

under Holt's desk.

Everything you need is

in that case.

Then jump again.

Wake her up

and then become me.

Talk to her.

Guide her.

If we pull this off,

then I'll

see you on the other side.
