Project Almanac (2014) Movie Script

DAVID: (SIGHING) So, we're
really doing this, huh?
Right now?
CHRIS: Yup.
Okay, we got to
present this properly.
DAVID: Where should I go?
CHRIS: Come to the right.
DAVID: To the right?
CHRIS: Come on.
(PIGEON COOING)
Okay?
Hi, my name is...
(LAUGHING)
Hi. My name is David Raskin
and I'm applying for the
MIT Physics Fellowship.
What I've developed
is an intelligent
propulsion experiment
which allows me to...
Um...
I think I'm getting
into that too early.
I should talk about
them more, right?
I first became interested
in the sciences, uh...
No, that was not
the way to start.
What if I walk at you like...
CHRIS: Can you just go?
All right, watch.
Hi. My name is David Raskin.
CHRIS: Take it down,
like, four notches, Seacrest.
What?
CHRIS: Come on!
I'd like to introduce you
to my engineers,
Adam Le and Quinn Goldberg,
and it's my sister,
Christina Raskin,
behind the camera.
Would you not...
Hold on one second.
I'll hold it
so you can point...
Dude,
you're distracting him.
What if it looks
like you built it?
Close your eyes.
No, it's not gonna
look like I built it.
All right. Like that?
(MACHINE BEEPING)
Let's put this up, Chris.
Okay, the smartphone's
connected to the Wi-Fi. Ready.
QUINN: Wait, wait, wait.
(MUSIC PLAYING ON CELL PHONE)
(ALL LAUGHING)
DAVID: Beginning
to lift the craft.
Take the controller.
I want you to notice
these marks on my fingers.
All right, cutting off
power now.
(MUSIC STOPS)
(MUSIC RESTARTS)
Dude, you're
getting into MIT!
These marks on
my hand are read
by the modified motion sensor
on the computer.
It allows my hands to
manipulate this craft
with uncanny precision.
Oh!
That's nuts!
The motion sensors are routed
through my smart phone
with an 802.11g,
64 gigahertz wireless.
Chris, watch out.
Coming your way.
Whoo! Ta-da!
Yes!
All right, let's
take this thing
to its max altitude!
Come on, let's go!
ADAM: Oh, shit!
DAVID: Grab the computer.
CHRIS: Go, go, go!
Okay, so, unlike
other static systems,
my algorithm tracks gestures
while the operator is moving.
Elevation, 140.
151, David. 170!
DAVID: It should
have a vertical reach
of about 250 feet.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
QUINN: What is that?
Is that my phone?
ADAM: David,
I think I lost signal.
DAVID: What do you mean
you lost signal?
ADAM: The call's
interrupting the Wi-Fi.
Who could possibly
be calling you right now?
Everyone you know
is standing right here!
ADAM: It's not
connecting, David.
DAVID: Guys,
it's not responding!
It's not responding.
CHRIS: I don't
see it anymore!
ADAM: It's gone.
It's dropping!
DAVID: Guys, run!
QUINN: Which way do I go?
Which way?
DAVID: Go! Quinn, run!
QUINN: Oh, shit!
(PHONE CONTINUES RINGING)
(MACHINE CRASHING)
(ALL GRUNTING)
(GROANING)
(CROWS CAWING)
(PANTING)
The experiment
was a complete success.
Thank you for your
consideration, MIT.
KATHY: Christina, I need you
to put that laundry away.
CHRIS: Yes.
I will do it later, I promise.
David's daily ritual.
Checking for
the letter, day 37.
(CAR ENGINE STARTING)
(CHRIS LAUGHING)
Quinn. Yeah, it came.
No, I don't know if I got
in yet, but it's really...
It's big.
All right, well,
come over then. Come on!
CHRIS: Go show her.
David, go show her.
Christina, I need you
to put that laundry away.
Yeah, I will.
And I'm not gonna
tell you again. Oh, good.
Can you see this stain here?
No, Mom...
I got two
job interviews today.
Mom, look, look. It came.
Oh, my God!
Christina, give me that.
It's a family moment.
ADAM: Wait for me,
wait for me!
I'm growing a beard, David.
Open it.
Shut up.
Christina, be more supportive.
Okay, I want you to listen.
I want you to know
whatever happens...
Oh, my God.
David...
QUINN: Shut up.
You shut up.
"On behalf of the admissions
committee, we're delighted
"to inform you...
(ALL SHOUTING EXCITEDLY)
"...that you have
been admitted
"to the MIT class of 2018."
Congratulations!
ADAM: Yay!
QUINN: Yo, Adam,
she didn't get into anything.
ADAM: We're celebrating,
right?
You know, your father
would be so proud of you.
QUINN: Dude!
KATHY: David?
What's the matter?
"We've reviewed your request
"and we're pleased
to award you $5,000
in financial aid."
QUINN: What?
CHRIS: Wait! What about
the other $40,000?
Mom, how are you
gonna afford that?
QUINN: Look, dude,
let me see that.
DAVID: Please, turn that off.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
QUINN: God, dude,
look at those.
Perfect little tree trunks.
Those legs are like...
LOU: Good job, David.
Sorry to hear about MIT.
DAVID: Yes, sir.
QUINN: I also didn't
get a scholarship
to MIT, Dr. Lou.
Also didn't sprout
wings and fly.
Still a few scholarships
left, David.
DAVID: I'll look into
those, sir. Thank you.
QUINN: Yo, just
pretend it's not me.
If you could say one thing
to MIT, what would it be?
Um, this is stupid.
QUINN: Wrong answer, dude.
You know what?
Maybe you don't want to go.
I do wanna go.
Dude, I think these nuggets
were frozen before
Obama was elected.
QUINN: David, prove it.
Prove that you wanna go.
How am I gonna prove
that I wanna go to MIT?
How about for a free ride,
every day, your mom shows up
and publicly hands
you your fungal medication?
Only if your mom
does the application.
You know what I mean?
ADAM: Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah.
QUINN: What if
MIT was like,
"Go up to Sarah Nathan
and just start
making out with her."
Why would MIT want me
to make out with people?
QUINN: Because MI believes in bold risk takers.
I take risks.
I'm a risk taker.
Yeah. Name one risk you took.
Right now.
QUINN: Exactly.
That's not... That's too big.
This is what I'm saying, dude,
if I had your brain
and bone structure,
I would be unstoppable.
I mean, aren't you sick
of having sex with your hand?
What?
I'm sorry.
He sniffs Sharpies.
You drug addict.
You totally
are stupid, dude.
Hey, look. Hey, hey,
dude, check this out.
Bam.
Oh, hey,
that's cool.
Right?
Well, you see,
that's my problem.
I can't get the UIs
to interact.
Oh, you got to put
the L2 cache in ad hoc mode.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
Obviously...
What are you doing?
QUINN: Oh, my God,
Jessie Pierce.
Dude, I would
literally give away all
my earthly possessions
for one date with her.
DAVID: What, are you gonna
give her your Xbox
and a coupon at Chipotle?
(ADAM LAUGHING)
Will you please
get in the car?
CHRIS: Bye, guys,
see you later.
DAVID: Chris, come on!
CHRIS: Coming!
QUINN: Look at
the bright side, David,
you're gonna have
so much free time now.
Hey, Jessie, what are
you doing tonight?
David wants to take you out!
You're such an idiot.
Dude, I'm hooking you up.
Shut up, Quinn.
Yo, keep it up, ladies!
You know, you wouldn't...
QUINN: David, what the shit,
man?
(ALL GROANING)
Why do you drive this car?
CHRIS: So embarrassing.
This is the best
part of my day.
QUINN: One day, this car
is going to kill us.
CHRIS: Don't let
them see me.
(CAR HONKING HORN)
QUINN: Yo, relax!
It's a classic!
BOY: C'mon. Just move
that piece of shit!
I think it's my starter relay.
Give me that Leatherman,
please.
QUINN: Well, actually,
I believe it's
the fuselage valve,
but what do I know?
You're confusing my car
with an airplane, but, uh...
ADAM: David, you got this?
Yeah, no, I got it.
CHRIS: Please tell me
you got it working.
QUINN: Come on,
come on, come on.
(CAR ENGINE STARTING)
(ALL CHEERING)
QUINN: Dude, if you
want a permanent fix,
just let me know.
I'll take a look at your car.
Sure, you're gonna fix my car?
What the hell is that?
Oh, shit.
CHRIS: Oh, my God.
David?
QUINN: This
doesn't make any sense.
Mom, goddang.
KATHY: The house
will pay for MIT,
and Aunt Chloe says
your sister and I can
move into her apartment.
I can't let you
sell this house, Mom.
There's got to be
something that I can do.
I can get a job.
KATHY: It's too late
for that, David.
You tried to get
a scholarship. It didn't work.
Well, none of this
would have happened if...
KATHY: David. Come on.
I'm sorry.
KATHY: I miss
your father, too.
But he would have wanted this.
You're just as smart
as him, you know.
I'm not gonna
let that go to waste.
Okay.
KATHY: It is
what it is, David.
There's nothing you can
do about it now.
CHRIS: (LAUGHING)
What are you, sulking?
DAVID: God! You scared
the shit out of me.
(CHRIS CHUCKLING)
I'm not sulking.
CHRIS: Dude,
you should be happy.
You're getting
what you wanted.
I'm the one who's
getting screwed.
This isn't
what I wanted, Chris.
CHRIS:
I remember this thing.
DAVID: I'm trying
to solve this, okay?
CHRIS: How are you solving
this in the creepy attic?
DAVID: Uh...
It's dumb.
You know, there's this one
last scholarship where I have
to submit a proposal for
an experiment and I thought
maybe if I got it,
Mom wouldn't
have to sell the house.
CHRIS: Huh. Dad must
have a million ideas
lying around up here.
I don't know, Chris.
I mean, I thought there'd
be something up here.
I can't find
anything I can use.
CHRIS: Hey, what is this?
When did we get
a video camera?
Oh, that's Dad's old camera,
yeah. Remember that?
CHRIS: Yeah.
(LAUGHING) Hey,
look, it still works.
DAVID: Really?
Wow. Yeah.
Let me see.
Check it out.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING
FROM VIDEO CAMERA)
That's my seventh birthday.
I guess it makes sense
that's the last thing
he would have
filmed, right.
Fuck.
Quinn, I'm telling you,
I'm looking at it right now.
You were a chubby kid.
Come here.
(DAVID LAUGHING)
No, I mean, it's weird
to hear his voice
for the first time, like,
after all these years.
Are you getting this?
BOY: Light the last three.
DAVID: What was that?
Here we go.
DAVID: Hold on a sec.
Nothing, I just saw something
weird in the mirror.
Are you getting this?
BOY: Light the last three.
DAVID: Holy shit.
Quinn, I got to go.
Chris! Chris, come down here!
I don't... I don't understand.
DAVID: It just is. I got
to show Quinn and Adam.
There's this footage of me
at my seventh birthday.
I mean, I was at
my seventh birthday.
We were all at your
seventh birthday.
CHRIS: No shit.
No, I know, I know. Here.
Just... You don't understand.
Just watch this.
CHRIS: I still think it's
just a glitch in the camera.
Oh!
DAVID: So right...
Wow!
Right as this lady walks by.
Oh, my God,
I remember this.
DAVID: No, no, no.
Right as this lady walks by,
look in the mirror...
Right there, right there!
Did you guys just see that?
QUINN: Dude, I was
so frickin' cute.
CHRIS: Dude, I was cute.
Adam fell off
that frigging bike
and it was the funniest thing
I'd ever seen.
Am I...
Do I exist in the world?
Are you guys even
seeing me right now?
Please, look at this.
CHRIS: Dude, you're crazy.
ADAM: Ready, go.
Play. I'm ready, I'm ready.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING ON TV)
Right there. In the mirror.
Look in the mirror.
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
QUINN: Dude, is that...
That can't be.
DAVID: (SIGHING) That's me.
CHRIS: David, you are just
seeing what you want to see.
ADAM: Maybe, I don't know,
someone could have
photoshopped it.
DAVID: Nobody's
messed with it.
It's been in my attic
for 10 years.
CHRIS: Look, it's
obviously like a relative
or something, David.
Family does tend
to actually look alike.
All right. Well,
then explain this.
We're wearing the same shirt.
LIV: What's with
the camera, Chris?
CHRIS: Yeah, isn't
it cool? It's my dad's.
LIV: Oh, that bitch.
CHRIS: What is
Sarah Nathan's problem?
She knows I like Justin.
MARINA: Chris, check this out.
Lollapalooza was so sick.
Lemme see?
CHRIS: I am so jealous.
God, why did I have
to miss that?
Uh, what is your
brother doing?
No offense, Christina,
but that's kind of creepy.
He's just watching
a tape of kids.
Ew!
ADAM: You don't know...
CHRIS: Let me guess,
you found aliens
at your party, too.
Okay, we're gonna be using
some really big words...
CHRIS: David,
that's not you.
Okay, no!
This is definitely me.
ADAM: Maybe.
Look!
That is my T-shirt,
that is my backpack
and that is my watch.
That's me.
Wait! What's the thing
in your hand?
The ballerina thing.
DAVID: What?
ADAM: Oh, uh...
A keychain, I think?
CHRIS: Okay. Everybody,
take out your keys.
Maybe it's not you, man.
Shit. Whose stuff
is this in my bag?
Wait, wait.
This is Jessie Pierce's.
What?
Are you serious?
You have a hot chick bag.
You're like a hot chick!
This is what you need to do.
Go over there
and pretend like
you just don't care.
Throw it at her
and be like, "Yo, here's
your shit, Pierce."
I'm sorry. Have you
seen David with girls?
Oh, I'm still right
here, Chris. Be nice.
Oh!
No! I will go
give this back to her.
No, no, no. I'm gonna go
and take it back to her, okay.
That's right.
I'm not gonna let
my sister do my bidding.
Man. Man. Yo, let me
smell your breath, though.
What are you gonna say?
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)
Are you trying to
communicate with me
telepathically?
Excuse me, I...
I have... I think
you have my bag.
I think we switched bags.
Possibly? Looks like.
By the way, my name is...
David?
Yeah.
We've gone to school
together for four years.
Yeah.
Did you go through my stuff?
No.
I might have reached
in there a little bit
to kinda feel around
blindly, but...
Is that why you're
wearing my perfume?
Well... I didn't spray that.
That wasn't me.
So other people
went through my stuff, too.
I'm really sorry, okay.
I just came to
switch bags with you.
I would never have...
I would never do that.
David?
Yeah.
Congrats on MIT.
Um... Thank you.
Dude, David, you've
lived here your whole life.
Where are you gonna go?
CHRIS: Quinn, come on,
can you stop talking
about it all the time?
Guys, stop arguing
for two seconds, okay.
We need to figure out what
I'm doing on this tape, right?
So... So, I'm over here?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're back there.
Back there to the right.
DAVID: Uh-huh.
Yeah, that's good.
Then somebody crosses frame.
CHRIS: Quinn, go here.
Actually, move the camera
to the left a little.
CHRIS: Okay.
And you, back to the right.
That's perfect,
that's perfect.
Wait, wait.
Split that difference.
CHRIS: Uh, there.
That's perfect. Don't move.
DAVID: Right here.
So what am I doing?
We're just standing here?
QUINN: You're doing
mad backflips.
(ADAM LAUGHING)
CHRIS: Let me check.
Um, it looks like
your right hand
is reaching for something.
Like, maybe the wall?
DAVID: Okay.
QUINN: Wait, no, no, no.
Behind the wall.
Yeah.
DAVID: There's a light switch.
QUINN: What does
that one turn on?
DAVID: Uh...
The basement? Let's check.
Down here.
Quinn, turn the lights on.
(LIGHTS CRACKLING)
This all your dad's stuff?
Yeah.
CHRIS: Whoa.
(LOW HUMMING)
Let's do this.
CHRIS: Are you sure
you should touch that?
Help me out.
CHRIS: We weren't
allowed in here.
DAVID: We're going in today.
Help me out.
QUINN: Ooh, spooky.
CHRIS: Quinn!
QUINN: Jeez! Someone's afraid
of the dark. (LAUGHING)
CHRIS: What are you,
10 years old?
(LOW HUMMING)
DAVID: Did you hear that?
ADAM: Yeah, what was that?
I don't hear it anymore.
Was that the light?
Quinn, keep clicking
the lights on and off.
I thought I heard a sound.
(LOW HUMMING)
There, there!
ADAM: Yeah, I hear it, too.
It's like a fricking
clicking noise or something.
Yeah, check over there.
ADAM: I don't know
where it's coming from.
DAVID: Where's it coming from?
ADAM: Uh...
Wait, I see something.
Leave the lights on!
Holy shit!
ADAM: No way.
CHRIS: Oh!
DAVID: Goddang!
Wait! Turn the
lights back off!
ADAM: Why?
DAVID: Try this.
It's connected
to the light switch.
ADAM: Oh, my God.
That's the same thing your
dad was holding on the tape.
The case...
DAVID: Help me out.
Come on.
Right here, right here.
ADAM: What the hell?
Turn them on!
QUINN: What the hell is that?
ADAM: Open it.
QUINN: No, you open it.
ADAM: You need to open it.
It's your dad's.
BOTH: Whoa!
Oh, my God.
(HUMMING)
Chris, come get this.
Chris, Chris, come here.
CHRIS: I'm getting it.
QUINN: What?
(CHRIS CHUCKLING)
Whoa.
DAVID: (VOICE DISTORTED)
You getting this, Chris?
CHRIS: (VOICE DISTORTED)
What's D-A-R-P-A?
It's DARPA.
It's a classified division
of the military.
They work on
all kinds of crazy shit.
They invented the Internet,
tried teleportation.
I thought your dad
was in energy research.
Yes, my dad worked for
Eastern Power and Electric.
I mean...
ADAM: Is this it?
Uh... Thermomagnetic
accelerator navigation drive?
I don't understand.
This is some sort
of a machine, guys.
CHRIS: What, like
a computer or something?
No, not a machine.
These schematics use equations
like the theory of relativity.
Engine pressure ratio.
Course deviation indicator?
Longitudinal static stability?
Hydraulic interface module.
Oh, wait, here we go.
Project Almanac.
ID number 453-Delta-71?
"Temporal relocation
prototype?"
Temporal relocation?
That's... That's impossible.
CHRIS: Any time you guys
want to speak English
so that I can follow.
ADAM: Temporal relocation.
QUINN: What does that mean?
It means time travel.
I mean, that's
what that means.
What?
Holy shit!
CHRIS: So you're
telling me Dad left
a time machine
in the basement?
Well... I mean,
I guess technically,
he left blueprints, but, uh...
Still...
Slow down
for one second, okay.
Let's just all
take a beat here.
DARPA designed this.
So it could actually
be real, right?
ADAM: It's possible.
QUINN: We should
try to build it.
You guys, my dad messed
around with a bunch
of junk down here.
Why would he hide junk then?
It's in a fricking
case in the ground?
Even if it wasn't junk...
Dude, he must have
left this for you.
Okay, I know you'd
like to think that
my dad left me
a time machine, okay, but...
I think this glass thing is,
like, the heart
of the machine.
It runs everything.
QUINN: David.
Just for a second
think about it.
You guys are...
You guys are crazy.
We can't build
a time machine in my basement.
I mean, did you see the tape
at your seventh birthday?
I mean, I think
we already did build it.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING
ON LAPTOP)
Shit.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
Hello.
Sweetie, I got to go.
I got to go. I'm sorry.
DAVID: Who were
you talking to, Dad?
He's just a friend, David.
He's here to fix something.
I won't be gone long.
DAVID: Promise?
Of course, I promise.
Here.
Time me.
Ooh.
(KIDS SHOUTING
AND LAUGHING ON LAPTOP)
CHRIS: It is
February 18th, 2014.
My brother has
officially lost his mind.
He genuinely believes
he is building a time machine.
ADAM: Extension cords,
fuses, relays, power cables.
It's cool you
hang out with us.
CHRIS: You guys
are my ride home, Adam.
What happened to your pants?
CHRIS: Sarah Nathan
is a backstabbing bitch.
Okay, so I've got five
1,000-volt DC couplers,
four 70-ohm resistors,
but I just can't find
any, uh, capacitors.
Did you check
by the couplers?
What do I look like, an idiot?
CHRIS: Well, you are
trying to build
a time machine, David.
We're just trying to turn on
this glass box, okay.
CHRIS:
Yeah, yeah, totally.
Hey, um, excuse me, sir,
but where is your
time machine section?
Sorry. Nobody likes her.
We can all agree
on something, right?
I mean, you
have to kill Hitler.
That's like Time Travel 101.
DAVID: Naturally, but none
of us even speak German, so...
CHRIS: That's why God
invented Google Translator,
David.
QUINN: Exactly.
They didn't have
Wi-Fi in 1939.
QUINN: These are all the
batteries we could afford.
DAVID: Well, the guys who
built the Hubble Telescope
started out building it
in their garage
with parts from Home Depot.
CHRIS: Oh, what
time was their curfew?
What are you doing here?
CHRIS: Just getting
a record of you
burning down the house.
What are you doing?
I used to kind of watch
Dad do a lot of this stuff.
This is called stripping wire.
Hey, Quinn, isn't
your mom a stripper?
(ADAM LAUGHING)
QUINN: Shut up, dude.
Hey, put the camera down?
I want to teach you.
All right, I think
we're all set.
DAVID: Christina, you
may wanna stand back.
We're pumping about
400 volts into this puppy.
CHRIS: So, uh, what,
you plug those things together
and we're gonna go
back to the Stone Age?
DAVID: No. If we can't turn
the glass circuit on,
there's no point in building
the rest of the machine.
I... I only have one.
Sorry, guys.
Let's hit it.
(ELECTRICITY HUMMING)
QUINN: What's happening?
DAVID: It's supposed to...
I'm not seeing anything.
Holy shit.
Oh, crap.
BOTH: Are you okay?
What does that even...
Give me the camera.
Give me the camera.
Look at yourself. Your hair.
What is it? What?
DAVID: Your hair.
On your head.
ADAM: Touch your head!
QUINN: Oh, my God.
Wow.
(RATTLING)
DAVID: Guys, guys, guys!
QUINN: What the shit?
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
(TOOLS CLATTERING)
CHRIS: What's going on?
What's it doing?
(BEEPING)
Is anybody else seeing this?
It's creating
electromagnetic energy!
QUINN: Whoa!
(LAUGHING)
Whoa!
Oh, shit!
What the...
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
QUINN: It's in my mouth!
Dude! Dude!
(QUINN SPITTING)
ADAM: All the batteries
are fried.
This battery flew up
and almost hit me.
Dude, it did hit me.
Film everything.
From now on, film everything.
(MUSIC PLAYING IN BACKGROUND)
I've literally never seen
any inputs like this before.
I mean, it must
be a prototype.
Let me see it.
It's DARPA.
They have access to more
technology than we do.
Intentional obsolescence.
You've got to love it.
Oh, wow. This is...
We need a graphics processor.
Where the hell do we
get one of those?
QUINN: You owe me
a new Xbox, dude.
Okay, you know what, guys?
Just don't talk
to me for a while.
CHRIS: When you
love something, Quinn,
you have to set it free.
This isn't a joke to me,
Christina, okay?
This is my life here.
Right there, right there.
Wow. What the hell is that?
Uh, some kind of
navigation program.
I think we can control
the time machine with this.
Okay, so, you're telling me
that thing can run
the whole machine?
I thought it called for
a boatload of computers.
No, this was 12 years ago
my dad made the schematics.
They didn't have
the technology.
Trust me, welcome to 2014.
This thing is strong enough
to send a rocket to the moon.
You enter the time here,
and you just press
the red button and boom.
We're Doctor Who.
CHRIS: Who's Doctor Who?
Dude, I am sorry for every
mean thing I've ever said
to you.
Really?
Yeah.
Mean thing today.
What he said today.
Oh, yeah, today.
CHRIS: So, how much
longer is this gonna take?
Chris, it's not some
high school textbook, okay.
This is highly
classified schematics.
It could take a day,
take weeks. We don't know.
It goes back six weeks, but
we have to split the power
for the return trip,
so it's three weeks
in the past,
three weeks back.
If we go further than that,
we're basically stuck there.
QUINN: What?
We're stuck in
the past forever!
Why?
If we go more than
three weeks...
I'll tell you later!
Goddang it!
QUINN: Oh, shit, my Xbox
is all tricked out.
That looks good.
That's insane.
You finish with
those couplers yet?
ADAM: Yeah, almost.
Whoa, what the hell, man?
QUINN: Wait. Are you...
These two wires right here?
What do I do
with this screwdriver?
DAVID: Here we go.
There it is.
ADAM: That's it!
Uh, I think I finally
got this thing dialed in.
ADAM: This looks good, David.
QUINN: You need this
for something?
I feel like you
might need this.
ADAM: No, I don't need that.
Hey, guys, are we in position?
Wait, let me get my helmet.
ADAM: Relax,
the switch is cold.
(SMALL EXPLOSION)
(MACHINE RUMBLING)
I thought you just
said it was cold!
It's off!
That is not cold! Do you
know what "cold" means?
Do you feel the power?
DAVID: Guys, guys, guys!
What the...
How is this happening?
I don't know.
Is it all the
electromagnetic energy?
(ADAM LAUGHING)
Oh. Then explain this.
Come here, Chris.
CHRIS: Holy shit.
Oh, my God. Look at that!
QUINN: Oh, shit.
What the...
Guys!
Holy shit, are you
guys seeing this?
Does it hurt? What's it like?
What's my hand doing?
David, the battery's
overheating!
Are you okay?
Yeah. That was...
That was awesome.
These batteries are dead.
It didn't work.
Guys?
Does this seem
familiar to you?
CHRIS: Oh, my God.
(MUFFLED LAUGHTER)
Okay, so I was wrong.
That's definitely you.
(SIGHING)
I mean, you guys, we're, uh,
close.
We still need hydrogen.
Without it, we're done.
What do you mean done?
Without hydrogen, no fusion.
Without fusion,
there's no time travel.
CHRIS: Well,
how much will it cost?
It's not a matter of cost.
I mean, you need
a permit just to buy it, so...
Oh!
You guys, I got an idea.
Cut the camera.
CHRIS: I can't believe
we're doing this.
DAVID: Wait, wait.
There's a security guard.
Hey, Argo, you realize
we're not taking
hostages, right?
What, you didn't bring yours?
QUINN: What?
Can we get
expelled for this?
ADAM: Obviously.
QUINN: Shit.
(DOOR CLOSING)
DAVID: (WHISPERING) Let's go.
CHRIS: Go, go, go.
(PANTING)
DAVID: We're clear.
ADAM: Yo, what's the code?
One, three, four, five.
CHRIS: Come on, hurry.
DAVID: Wait, is it...
ADAM: It's pi. Duh.
Put it, put it, put it.
Yes! Lights.
ADAM: Go, go, go, go!
CHRIS:
Someone get the lights.
DAVID: Lights, lights.
CHRIS: Go, go, go!
DAVID: Guys, it's probably
locked in one of these, okay?
ADAM: Wait up. David, David.
CHRIS: David, too far,
too far, come back.
QUINN: Yes!
CHRIS: Nice.
QUINN: God, I'm strong.
Hey, get one
of those crates!
CHRIS: Yeah.
ADAM: Yo, how much do we need?
DAVID: We'll take them all.
Get the bag.
ADAM: We might
not get another shot.
CHRIS: Here,
I got two crates.
QUINN: Yo, I can't
carry all that.
ADAM: Careful, it's hydrogen!
Got it. Let's get out of here.
Whoa!
ADAM: Oh, come on.
QUINN: You frickin' idiot.
ADAM: Shut up!
QUINN: Come on!
DAVID: You got the camera?
CHRIS: Yeah, got it.
DAVID: Come on,
come on, come on.
You first.
(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS
OUTSIDE)
Hey, does anyone
want to take like...
I don't know,
like a five-minute break?
It looks like
Walker's having a party.
DAVID: Guys, it works.
The hydrogen fits.
Chris, get in position.
CHRIS: What's
with the watches?
Okay, so if this works,
when the red one comes back,
it'll be 60 seconds
behind the black one.
Here you go.
This is Project...
Oh, yeah.
This is Project Almanac.
Experiment one, trial one.
Temporal distance, 60 seconds.
CHRIS: In English, please?
Uh, it means we're going
to send your crappy toy
a minute back into the past.
All right, you guys ready?
Quinn. Are you
going to set this?
QUINN: Oh, shit.
One job, he has one job.
GoPro, set.
Come on, come on, come on.
ADAM: All right, we're good.
Three, two...
CHRIS: Wait,
let me put my goggles on.
DAVID: Chris, come on,
be present, focus.
CHRIS: One second.
ADAM: You good?
CHRIS: I'm good.
Three, two, one.
(LOW RATTLING)
QUINN: What the hell?
ADAM: Just give it a second.
Do it again, just do
it again, man. Go on.
ADAM: Three, two, one.
(LOW RATTLING)
QUINN: What the hell, Adam?
ADAM: Just give me a second.
QUINN: What did you do?
ADAM: Nothing.
(RUMBLING)
QUINN: Oh, shit.
ADAM: All right.
It's working!
ADAM: The power's holding!
What's going on?
Come on, come on!
(BATTERY CRACKLES)
QUINN: Oh, shit!
ADAM: Come on!
(OBJECTS CLATTERING)
What the hell?
ADAM: No, no, no, no.
They're fried.
DAVID: Really?
You guys, we haven't
had a night off in weeks.
Why don't we just, you know,
take it off and
check out the party.
DAVID: Then how the hell are
we supposed to do we do this?
This thing just keeps
eating through batteries, man.
We need a really
strong power source.
Something that can recharge
itself as it puts out power.
(MUSIC PLAYING OUTSIDE)
It's nickel-metal hydride.
Oh, my God, how did I not...
Oh, for sure.
What did he say?
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
QUINN: What the hell
is he doing?
CHRIS: Beats me.
Why is he getting
Jessie Pierce to
park in our driveway?
Right there's good.
QUINN: Whoa!
Jessie Pierce drives?
I assumed she just, like,
appeared out of thin air,
like most
mythological creatures.
You guys coming to the party?
Yeah. We just
gotta get changed.
JESSIE: Uh-huh.
Stay out of my perfume.
GIRL: Jessie, come on.
DAVID: I'm gonna need every
jumper cable you can find.
We're going
to use her battery.
CHRIS: I got them.
Christina.
CHRIS: Here you go.
QUINN: What's so special
about this hybrid battery?
Its negative electrodes uses
a hydrogen-absorbing alloy...
QUINN: Okay, you know what?
Forget I asked.
Connecting now!
QUINN: Wait!
Dude!
CHRIS: That was awesome.
DAVID: Hey, what's the hell's
taking you guys so long?
Well, maybe, you know,
if Adam wasn't
trying to kill me, then
it might go a little faster.
(CHRIS LAUGHING)
Stop laughing,
it's not funny! Come on!
ADAM: We're good.
CHRIS: Let's go, let's go!
Come on!
Quick! Adam,
clean off the table.
ADAM: How long do we have?
I don't know.
Chris, how long do
girls stay at parties?
Well, dude, hot girls
don't stay at parties long.
They go to multiple ones,
like five or six a night.
What do you
know about that?
Is this gonna work?
I don't know,
there's a good chance
we're gonna blow up her car.
Chris, give me a hand. Here.
CHRIS: What?
Look, I want you to make sure
this connection is stable.
ADAM: So we just go, right,
David?
DAVID: Yeah! It's cool.
QUINN: GoPro set. (GRUNTING)
Wait, let me get my helmet.
Coordinates set, 60 seconds.
DAVID: Come on, come on.
CHRIS: Let me
get my goggles!
Oh, shit, it doesn't reach.
Guys, table, table, table!
ADAM: Okay, one,
two, three, push.
Again, again!
ADAM: One, two, three, push.
Whoa!
(MACHINE STARTING UP)
Everybody, back, back, back.
QUINN: Look at the camera!
Look at the camera!
CHRIS: Let me get
my camera! I gotta get it!
Let me get my camera!
Hold on one second!
ADAM: Chris, come on!
DAVID: Chris, hurry up!
(CRACKLING)
Aw. Jeez, that was loud.
(BANGING ON DOOR)
Oh, my God.
JESSIE: David, let me in!
David, open the door!
Oh, shit, guys! It's Jessie.
Do not let her in! She can't
handle this, honestly!
David, what the hell? Wh...
What is going on?
What are you doing?
DAVID: Jessie, get down!
Why? What are you guys doing?
Oh, my God.
(VOICE DISTORTED)
Project Almanac.
Experiment one, trial two.
Get that, get that, get that!
What is all this?
DAVID: Get this! Get this!
Get down!
(EXPLOSION)
(CLATTERING)
MAN: Oh, my God,
the lights went out.
DAVID: Are you guys okay?
QUINN: Yeah. Are you?
DAVID: You okay?
JESSIE: Yeah.
QUINN: That scared me.
ADAM: Good idea.
(ALL BREATHING HEAVILY)
DAVID: Oh, God. Oh, God.
QUINN: What the hell?
ADAM: Wait, disconnecting.
DAVID: Grab the camera.
Where's the...
Guys, where's the Corvette?
ADAM: It was supposed
to be here, one minute behind.
JESSIE: What the hell
did you guys do?
DAVID: I can't believe
the Corvette's not there.
ADAM: This doesn't
make any sense.
(THUDDING)
CHRIS:
Ow, ow!
Chris, are you sure
you're okay?
CHRIS: Yeah, I'm okay.
DAVID: Oh, shit.
Hey, guys, I found it!
ADAM: No way.
ALL: Oh, my God.
QUINN: What?
It's fused to
the fricking wall!
CHRIS: No way.
Are you guys seeing this?
Yo, stopwatch.
ADAM: My God! It went
back two hours. David?
Two hours?
ADAM: That's what it says.
What's on the GoPro?
DAVID: Clean off the table.
ADAM: How long do we have?
DAVID: I don't know.
It was there the whole time.
QUINN: Well, dude, hot girls
don't stay at parties long.
They go to multiple ones,
like five or six a night.
DAVID: What do you
know about that?
I can't even comprehend
this right now.
ADAM: It works.
We sent something
back in time.
Chris...
Hey.
Hey. You okay?
Uh, yeah. I just...
I don't really understand
what just happened.
Well...
We just built
a time machine.
We built a time machine.
We built a time machine.
Smoke! Shit! The cables!
Get the fire extinguisher!
Oh, my God. My car!
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
QUINN: So, what's
with the backpack?
DAVID: I'm reducing
the width of frame
so the machine can fit inside
a 22-by-14-inch backpack.
QUINN: So we could
just walk around with it?
It'd only weigh 8 pounds.
QUINN: The whole thing?
LOU: Goldberg! It's time
for your presentation.
QUINN: Did that guy
just say "presentation?"
LOU: All right,
everybody, settle down.
Quinn, you didn't study?
No, I didn't study. I've been
building a time machine.
LOU: Let's
get this over with.
You're up first.
QUINN: Yeah, I know.
Name the first 10 elements
of the periodic table.
(INDISTINCT BANTER)
ADAM: All right, so, um,
I was thinking we should
start off small.
I was making a list.
Uh, bacteria, to send through.
CHRIS: Yeah.
I can grab something
from Dr. Lou's class.
He actually really likes me.
Yesterday I was
at Petco with my mom.
And they have, like, dozens
of those little white mice,
and you could just
send those back.
Think about it.
If you were a mouse,
you'd be like,
"Damn, I'm time traveling
right now!"
Guys, I'm serious.
We need to keep this quiet.
Okay, Jessie saw me
staring at her.
That's real smooth...
Real smooth, David, perfect.
Guys, can you please not just
all look at her? Guys, stop!
JESSIE: Hey, guys!
Smooth, guys. Nice.
Is she coming over?
ADAM: David, game face,
put your game face on.
DAVID: I haven't
got a game face.
(JESSIE CLEARING THROAT)
Somebody say something.
DAVID: Okay,
thank you for letting
us use your battery.
Yeah, no problem.
What are you going
to do with it?
Well, we're gonna test it.
We're gonna...
JESSIE: But I thought
you already tested it.
Yeah, yeah, but we haven't
tested on a living organism.
So now you're going to
test it on people, right?
ALL: No!
ADAM: Bacteria first.
QUINN: Or puppies.
DAVID: We need to start...
Puppies?
QUINN: You've been
to Petco, right?
You've seen all
the white mice?
DAVID: Quinn,
enough with the Petco.
We have to take
this step by step.
Be very conscious
of what we're doing.
Right, but shouldn't
the next step be, like,
testing it on us?
It's not... You know,
this is not a toy.
We need to take it
step by step...
JESSIE: I'm not
saying it's a toy, but like...
I mean, there's a lot
of things we have
to think about...
DAVID: Hey, what is that?
What is this?
JESSIE: What? My keys?
CHRIS: Oh, my God.
JESSIE: What's wrong
with my keys?
CHRIS:
They're just really cool.
JESSIE: You're kidding, right?
Hello?
Sorry.
JESSIE: I don't... (SIGHING)
This isn't fake, right?
DAVID: No.
No, it's real.
(SIGHING)
It doesn't make any sense.
You guys film everything, huh?
(CHUCKLING)
(PEOPLE SHOUTING ON LAPTOP)
DAVID: I think, um,
we have to go with
another inanimate object
and then move our way to...
No.
DAVID: You know, plants and...
Come on.
DAVID: Come on, what?
You're watching this video
and you're gonna send
another inanimate
object through?
DAVID: It'll be very
potentially dangerous.
But you know that
you can do this.
What are you waiting for?
ADAM: If we
increase the power
to the glass circuit,
the diameter of the warp
could expand to 9 feet,
which may fit all five of us.
DAVID: Graphics processor
dialed in.
QUINN: Am I gonna
get electrocuted?
DAVID: Setting the machine
to 24 hours back.
That's how far we'll push it.
CHRIS: David,
I'm getting scared.
ADAM: Running system
diagnostic test.
All systems check.
DAVID: Guys, turning
machine to standby mode.
We're ready to go.
(SIGHING)
Dad, I'm not sure what
you were doing down here
or why you were doing it,
but this is for you.
(PANTING)
(SIGHING)
DAVID: Full disclosure, guys.
There's a slight chance that
oxygen and nitrogen
naturally found in the air
could catalyze.
QUINN: What does that mean?
DAVID: We could explode.
Here. Set the GoPro
up over there,
so we can get a, you know,
wide shot of the environment.
QUINN: Okay.
We need to move away from
the car, away from the trees,
and everything, right.
Get some clearance.
Remember, the warp has
a 10-foot diameter, so...
Yeah.
CHRIS: Where should we go?
I think, um, yeah, right here?
(ADAM EXHALING)
DAVID: Are you recording?
CHRIS: No, the red light
means something else entirely.
(CHUCKLING)
DAVID: Okay.
To reiterate,
because of the catalyzation
of the oxygen in our lungs,
do not hold your breath.
You got that?
CHRIS: Yeah.
Because of the
high level of impact,
keep your body
loose, right?
Yeah.
And because of UV light,
keep your eyes closed.
ADAM: (SOFTLY) Yeah.
Okay, is anyone else, like,
shitting their pants
right now?
Or is it...
(LAUGHING)
Guys, I'm not gonna lie.
I'm completely terrified.
But I'm the one
who's on the tape.
So if you guys
don't want to come,
I understand. Okay?
CHRIS: I'm in.
If you're going, I am.
I'm in, too.
ADAM: I'm with the group.
I've done every boring thing
with you since first grade.
Of course I'm coming.
All right.
Let's step in.
Wait, like right now?
It's all right.
It's okay.
We're going to be okay.
We're gonna be okay.
Chris, come on,
you need to get closer.
Okay.
(ALL BREATHING HEAVILY)

Well, if it worked,
it's not gonna be here
until we drive it
here tomorrow.
Look at this. Look.
Holy shit.

to see if this really worked.
Wait, I got an idea. Yeah,
I got a sick idea. Come on.
Shh.
My neighbor's dog
is a beast.
(DOG BARKING)
Why are we going
in your house?
QUINN: Just trust me.
Seriously, this is

My mom's asleep,
just don't wake her.
I want to see if this works.
Have you guys ever
seen the movie Looper?

ADAM: It was
a crazy feedback loop.
Look at me, are you okay?
QUINN: I'm all right. Okay.
DAVID: Quinn, you
disappeared for a second.
I think we should
get out of here.
Yeah, we should

He's on my side...
ADAM: Guys,
why am I in the trunk?
DAVID: Quinn, stop pushing
him on my side.
Sit, sit, sit.
Guys... Guys, check it out.
These flyers definitely
weren't here before we jumped.
CHRIS: Huh.
JESSIE: There's so
many of them.
QUINN: That's weird.
JESSIE: Do you think
we changed things?
CHRIS: What does it say?
DAVID: It says, uh,
"Lost Dog."
Guys, we changed reality.
QUINN: Holy shit.
Oh.
(DOG WHINING)
CHRIS: David, come on.
Oh.
Well, I told you
we wouldn't die.
DAVID: Yeah.
I, uh...
No, I got my wallet.
Never mind. I thought
it was...
Thought it was on
my side of the car?
No, I was just checking
my backpack.
Thank you for the ride.
You're welcome, David.
I'll see you, uh...
See you at school.
Dude, how have you
never seen Timecop?
Quit saying that
like it's a bad thing.
Look, you're missing
the point.
You can't go back
and give yourself
information about
the future.
QUINN: Dude, wrong.
That's the entire purpose
of time traveling.
Here, just look
at Terminators
one through four.
My dad...
He's a genius.
He's an absolute genius.
Dude, you could
actually, like,
go back and meet him now.
We can do anything.
JESSIE: We can meet anyone.
Literally.
You guys, we invented
freaking time travel!
Why don't we sell this thing
to Richard Branson for, like,
a zillion dollars?
We didn't invent anything,
first of all.
We just put it together
with the directions that
we had over there, so...
You make it sound like
we got it at IKEA.
Okay, we can't sell it.
No chance. We don't even know
what it is.
We don't even know
what it can do yet.
CHRIS: Okay, well, look,
I mean, he's right, but we
could beat the stock market,
or win the Powerball.
Stock market, Powerball.
It's not about money.
We could do
whatever we want.
Imagine the possibilities.
It's like
a second chance machine.
CHRIS: We know.
Okay, so we need to
learn how to use it.
QUINN: How hard is it
to learn how to time travel?
Obviously, very, man.
You almost short-circuited
last night.
ADAM: Dude,
you were disappearing.
We gotta have rules.
JESSIE: Okay.
Yeah?
Yes. So what are they?
QUINN: What are
the rules then?
First rule, no jumping alone.
We always have to jump
all together every time.
JESSIE: That makes sense.
Yes?
JESSIE: What else?
CHRIS: Well, we could film
all of our jumps,
so that if we mess
something up,
we know what
we did wrong.
JESSIE: That's a good idea.
That's a great idea.
And we have
to keep it a secret. Right?
So no Twitter, no Facebook,
none of that stuff.
Absolutely.
We should have code names.
Like safe words.
You know, from now on,
I want to be called
Obsidian One.
(ADAM CHUCKLING)
QUINN: I'm definitely not
taking part in any of that.
ADAM: Whatever.
CHRIS: So what do you guys
wanna do with the machine?
I want to see Biggie
and Tupac live.
CHRIS: You know what?
I wanna go to the original
Star Wars premiere.
That's not bad.
Dude, that is
so freaking awesome!
Guys, guys, I wanna go back
and meet Einstein, okay,
but this machine only goes
back three weeks. All right?
So we have to take it slow.
Keep testing it.
But there's still things
we can change.
Well, I just failed
my Chem report.
And I don't really wanna
repeat 12th grade,
I'd probably go change that.
I wouldn't mind being captain
of the baseball team.
QUINN: No.
What do you mean, no?
It's not a magic wand, it's
just kinda a time machine.
Cool, thanks, man.
Okay, right there, you guys.
You're broke.
You're getting bullied.
I'm failing high school.
You know, let's take
this thing out for a spin.
Cheers to that.
DAVID: Here's to taking it
out for a spin.
CHRIS: Hell yeah!
ADAM: Let's take it
for a spin. Baseball...
There, that's it.
I think we got it.
QUINN: Okay, David,
so my Chem report
was eight days ago.
That's pretty secure.
Here, let me

No, there's no sub.
Sweet.

Atomic weight, what?
Do you know it or not?
You didn't ask that last time!
So why would I know that?
Last time? What the hell
are you talking about?
Goldberg, this is
about comprehension,
not memorization.
See you after class.
Okay, let that be a lesson.
Comprehension.
(MOUTHING)
Who doesn't know
the atomic weight of fluorine?
Why did he ask him that?
(WHIRRING)
QUINN: Okay, so fluorine
is 15.2.
Then why are you texting him

You're kidding.
We have to do this again?
This is hell.
This is what hell is like.
I made flashcards this time.
I know everything
backwards and forwards.
BOY: Then why are you texting
him at 3:00 in the morning?
You're overreacting.
He's just a friend.
But she'll be screwing

Hey, guys, look out!
DAVID: Shit, it's us.

Uh, yeah.

What's silicon's

Silicon's classification

Boom, Lou!
That just happened!
That's mine.
Quinn Goldberg, pleasure.

I'll bet you $200,000

Congratulations.
You're winners.
Me personally, I'm gonna

You know, I'm gonna get

you know, then see what
happens, go from there.
WOMAN: Okay, you guys do know
that $1.8 million after taxes
isn't enough for what
you want to do?
You should save it,
pay for college.
I'm sorry, I thought
you just said 1.8?
It was 53 million,
876 thousand, and, uh...
After taxes.
WOMAN: You guys only got
five out of six numbers.
Why did you put 44?
CHRIS: Are you kidding me?
Because that's what
you put down.
That is not what I put down.
I put a... That is a nine.
That's 49, Adam.
Are you blind?
How is that a nine?
You have to go back

It's a million dollars, guys.
Are you freaking kidding me?

have to use that for school.
No, no.
There was plenty more.
Please.
Oh, my God.

Okay. Mom...
Okay, bye.

Well, I'd love to, but this is

Whoo!

Come hang out with us.
DAVID: Yeah. Look,
I'll be there in one second.
I just wanna tweak
something with the

CHRIS: David, you're
allowed to take a break.
(EXHALING)
Hi.
CHRIS: So, what do you
think of David?
Chris, it's your brother.

he can't hear us.
He is pretty smart, huh?
DAVID: Experiment 16.

JESSIE: David?
You're still down here?
Jess. Hey.
Hey.
Sorry, I think I left
my English folder.
Yes, you did.
It's right there.
Thank you.
Is there something wrong
with the machine?
No, I'm trying to figure
out how to make it go back
even further.
You know
what I mean?
Can you?
I think so.
I've been running some tests
on a new battery source,
uh, xenon difluoride.
You just made
that up, right?
No.
(JESSIE CHUCKLING)
How far back could we go
if you got it to work?
Ten years?
Ten years.
Seriously?
Yeah. Ten years.
Sorry. When you said
"time machine,"
I thought dinosaurs,
or at least Woodstock.
Why do you always
do that?
The watch thing.
Oh!
I don't know. It's like
a nervous habit or something.
Oh.
Yeah.
Are you saying
I make you nervous?
No.
I, uh...
So where did you
get it?
What?
The watch.
Oh. Uh, my dad gave it
to me before he died.
I was like...
On my seventh birthday.
Your seventh
birthday, right?
Yeah.
You look just like him.
Really?
Handsome.
Thank you.
So how did he, um...
It was a car crash.
He left my party.
Um, had some kind of
urgent call or something.
I don't even really know.
To be honest with you,
I don't know the whole story.
You think you'll go back
to save him?
That's what I'm trying to do.
If I can just get the machine
to go back that far.
Maybe I'm the mastermind.
Did you ever think about that?
I mean, you're pretty smart.
You're pretty smart.
I'm just saying,
like, you know,
clearly something's missing.
And now you have my keys
and now you have me, so...
Wait. What do you mean,
I have you?
Well, you know, I'm like...

Did we have some kind of,
like a moment?
Wasn't that a moment
the other day at the
wall, and...
I don't know. I mean,
it was a really fun day.
It was cool, right?
And when you said
that one thing,
and I kind of...
I don't know, there were
so many people around,
I wasn't really thinking.
I didn't expect you...
I didn't expect someone like
you to really say that to me.
What do you mean,
someone like me?
You're like, fun,
and you go out to parties
and, like, hang out
and all that kind
of crazy stuff.
That's it.
I mean, you don't care
about that important shit.
You just have fun.
I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to say that.
No, no, I know
what you meant.
It's fine.
Whatever moment
you thought,
you know, happened,
you should probably
just forget about it,
I think.
Okay.
Some things just aren't
meant to be, you know?
You don't have to
film everything, Chris.

you later.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Bye.
Hey, Dr. Lou.
Where are you going?
LOU: Don't be
a wiseass, David.
What?
(SOBBING)
Hey, you okay.
Sarah, what's up?
Everyone just mind
their own business.
CHRIS: God, what the hell
is up with him?
"Better luck next year?"
But we won the division.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
CHRIS: Hey.
QUINN: (ON PHONE) You got
to get over here right now!
Quinn, hold on, slow down.
ADAM: Oh, my God.
Are you seeing this?
QUINN: I just don't understand
how this is even possible.
How do we not
remember this?
But we could fix this, right?
We could fix this.
I mean, we have
the means, right?
This is what we should be
doing in the first place,
not partying.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
Hey. Guys, what's
the emergency?
David, look at this.
There was a plane crash,
David.
Seventy-seven people
onboard a flight from
London to Madrid.
It happened
five days ago.
DAVID: Jesus.
So, why are you guys
watching a plane crash?
Because I think
it's our fault.
Why would a plane crash
be our fault?
Sarah Nathan's dad
was the pilot.
So what?
Look, whatever we did
at Lollapalooza
had some crazy
ripple effects.
Wait, wait. Are you saying
that Lollapalooza caused
a plane crash?
Because that sounds
crazy, dude.
Look, I'm not crazy, okay.
It's cause and effect.
Somehow we caused
the basketball team
to not make the playoffs.
Our captain, Justin Kelly,
broke his leg on March 1st,
right?
We all know
that never happened.
Then the basketball team
didn't make the playoffs,
and that affected
the players,
their parents,
hundreds of people who were
supposed to be at the game.
And it just kept spreading.
Sarah Nathan's brother,
he was on the team, right?
QUINN: Yeah.
Her dad was supposed to be
at the game.
He wasn't supposed to be
flying that night.
David, look...
Dude, there's other shit, too.
Robberies. Fires.
None of this happened before.
At some point, we're not gonna
be able to track this, David.
If we don't stop this now,
it could just keep going
out of control.
CHRIS:
David, we have to fix this.
QUINN: Look, Lollapalooza
was a mistake.
We have to go back
and make it so that
we never jumped there
in the first place.
Right.
DAVID: No, no, no.
We cannot go back.
We cannot do that, okay?
ADAM: That's the only way.
ADAM: We have to.
It's gonna undo
everything...
ADAM: That's the point!
QUINN: We need to undo it!
We gotta fix this.
I'm not even buying it.
I don't even think...
QUINN: Dude, you were the one
who set the rules!
You're the one who said that
we had to be all freaking
careful!
I did. We all followed them,
and kept each other
accountable on every
single one!
I'm not gonna go and play
God with you guys...
David, you know what?
That is what we're doing!
I'm gonna get Jessie,
we're gonna come over tonight
and we're gonna fix this!
If you wanna vote on that
'cause that will make you
feel better, then that's fine,
but that's what we're doing!
CHRIS:
David, we get it, okay?
None of us will
remember Lollapalooza.
Yeah.
(SIGHING)
MAN ON LAPTOP:
Hey, Justin, look out!
(MAN GRUNTING)
MAN: I'm calling 911.
DAVID: Screw this.
(DAVID PANTING)
DAVID: Oh, shit.
JESSIE: Guys, I'm here!
David, it's me!
(CAR HORN HONKING)
It's April 23rd, 2014.
This is to keep a record.
I know exactly what to do
to fix this.
Justin broke his leg
at Walker's party.
I'll fix that. Everything else
will fall into place.
Guys, I'm sorry.
It's gonna be okay.
(PANTING)
Oh, shit!
Shit. Oh.
ADAM: David, what are
you doing here?
What do you mean?
This is where we're
supposed to meet.
You're 15 minutes late.
No, we said we'd meet
at your house first.
We had to track
the controller.
Oh, yeah, why didn't
you call me?
We all called you,
David.
Really?
The guys are
right behind me.
Really?
What did you do
to the machine?
You know, I'm just making
some modifications.
Modifications? Why?
We did a full systems
check yesterday.
Can I talk to you
for a second?
What's on that?
Just, uh...
Oh, God, man.
Can you just be
my friend for a second?
I have to ask you.
Of course I'm your friend.
You know, like,
the plane crash in Spain
and the basketball team
and the fires in Brazil.
It's not your fault.
We've been
over this, okay.
No, no, no, no.
You're not listening to me.
It's not your fault.
It's not your fault.
It's my fault.
I went back alone.
There...
Alone?
Yeah.
Why would you ever
jump alone, David?
David...
It's not important.
But where did you jump to?
It doesn't matter.
It's done.
Stop it! Stop it.
We don't have to
undo everything, okay.
We just have to make sure
Justin doesn't break his leg
at Walker's party.
We can fix it, man!
You gotta trust me.
I can fix it.
You can fix it?
By yourself?
Yeah, you broke
the pact once
and now you're gonna
do it again?
You're coming clean.
No. I can't.
Why not?
Because...
Why, David?
Because I'll lose her, man.
(CAR HORN HONKING)
I'm sorry, David.
But you have to
come clean.
Guys!
Guys, let's go!
Come on!
(MACHINE STARTING)
ADAM: No, no, no, no.
David, don't go!
DAVID: I'm sorry, Adam!
I would never do
anything to hurt you guys!
ADAM: David!
DAVID: You won't even remember
this happened!
(COUGHING)
QUINN: Hot girls don't stay
at parties long.
They go to, like,
multiple ones.
DAVID: Table, table, table!
(MUSIC PLAYING IN DISTANCE)
(METAL CREAKING)
Again, again!
JESSIE: Hey!
DAVID: Oh, shit!
David! What the hell
are you doing to my car?
DAVID: Three, two, one.
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
MAN: The lights went out.
DAVID: Sorry, excuse me!
Coming through! Excuse me!
Justin, look out!
(CAR HONKING HORN)
Oh, shit.
(INDISTINCT TALKING)
JUSTIN: You saved me, bro.
MAN: David, you're awesome.
You're like a superhero.
DAVID: Excuse me.
MAN 2: That was so awesome.
MAN 3: Right here, man.
That was badass.
DAVID: Excuse me.
(SIGHING)
FEMALE VOICE:
You have two new messages.
JESSIE: (OVER LAPTOP)
Hey, babe, sorry I missed you.
I'll see you later tonight.
Miss you.
CHRIS:
David, are you coming?
We gotta go.
We have to be there by 5:00.
Yeah. Yeah, I'm coming.
One second.
What the hell's
she talking about?
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
(SNIFFLING)
(CAR ENGINE STARTING)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
CHRIS:
Are you gonna go in?
Yeah.
Quinn, thank God.
Hey. You all right?
You look like shit.
I'm fine, I'm fine.
Oh. Adam.
(MONITOR BEEPING)
QUINN: We don't
have much time.
Visiting hours
are almost up.
DAVID: Did he
say anything?
What are you talking about?
He can't speak.
He barely knows
where he is.
Yeah, I... I know that.
CHRIS: Did they find
anything else out?
QUINN: Nothing.
Just that it happened
after the basketball game.
DAVID: Oh, shit.
So they don't know
what happened.
QUINN: No, they don't
know anything,
but, I mean, look, it's fine.
We'll just, you know,
figure out when the last time
he was safe was and just,
you know, go back.
Uh... He was fine
in school this morning.
What're you talking about?
That was yesterday.
He's been here
since last night.
CHRIS: David, why don't
you know this?
I do know, I'm just...
My fucking head, man.
Look, we gotta
do something.
Okay, I'll get Jessie,
we'll come over tonight.
No, no, I'll get
Jessie, okay?
Forget it, just come
to my house.
When?
I don't know,
just tonight.
What does that mean?
I'll call you
when I'm in touch
with her, okay?
Something is wrong here.
(SOFTLY)
It's going to be okay.
It's going to be okay.
(SIGHING)
It's gonna be okay.
It's gonna...
CHRIS: David!
David! David, where
are you going?
(CAR ENGINE STARTING)
Chris, just stay here.
CHRIS: I don't
have a ride!
DAVID: I'm coming back!
Hey!
(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)
(DAVID PANTING)
Okay, Adam.
When is the last time
you were safe?
Effects of Lollapalooza.
That's Justin.
That's a different day.
Doesn't connect to
anything at all.
Plane crash had nothing
to do with it.
Adam.
The basketball game.
Robberies.
Adam...
Tuesday, 7:00 p.m.
Everything should
be all right.
(PANTING) Oh, shit.
Tuesday.
(MACHINE STARTING)
David, what are you doing?
DAVID: No, Jessie!
Don't come in here! Stay back!
Please!
JESSIE: Where are you going?
DAVID: Don't come in
the warp! No!
JESSIE: David!
(GROANING)
Shit.
(JESSIE COUGHING)
JESSIE: David, when are we?
DAVID: It's Tuesday.
Adam's still okay.
I can make it so he never
ends up in the hospital.
JESSIE: What about
everyone else?
What happened to
"nobody jumps alone?"
DAVID: I know!
(DAVID PANTING)
I'm sorry for
yelling at you.
I just keep thinking
I can go back and
I can fix it myself.
I don't have to worry
about anybody else.
You keep thinking?
What do you mean?
How many times
have you done this before?
David, how many times
have you done this before?
I'm sorry.
Wait, where are you going?
David!
David!
DAVID: Jess!
You have to stop talking.
You're being too loud.
People are gonna hear you.
I don't care if people
can hear me!
You have to tell me.
What did you change?
(DAVID SIGHING)
Lollapalooza.
Wha...
"Before the world ends..."
That's why you and I...
DAVID: No, Jess. Listen.
Listen to me. I didn't mean
for this to happen.
After everything,
you're just a liar.
Jess, I understand
how this could feel...
You have no idea
how this feels!
You played me!
(SOBBING)
Like I was just some idiot
that would just fall
for your trick or something!
Stop it.
There was no other way
I could have got you.
You didn't care that
it was dangerous?
That all of your friends
could be hurt?
We had this
real connection.
I knew it, and I just went
back and I wanted
another chance,
and I... I was the person
that I should have been.
How do I know that
you're telling me the truth?
That's who I should have been.
How do I know that
this hasn't already
happened before?
Twice before?
How do I know that?
No.
Jesus, David.
I mean, did you ever stop
to think that maybe
I've liked you since
the first time I met you?
No, I didn't.
Well, you know what
I would have done?
If I was as smart as you,
if I could have built
a time machine?
What?
I would have used it
so I could go back
and meet you sooner.
Jess.
JESSIE: David.
DAVID: Jessie.
JESSIE: I love you.
JESSIE: Guys, I'm here!
David, it's me!
DAVID: Shit! You gotta let go.
You gotta let go.
David, it's me.
David, it's me. (ECHOING)
BOTH: David, it's me. David,
it's me. David, it's me.
DAVID: Jess, no!
DAVID: Jessie!
Oh, shit.
No, no, no, no.
Jess!
Oh, God, please.
No, no, no. Shit!
(DAVID PANTING)
Oh, my God, no!
I can save you.
Please, please.
Come on. Come on.
Jess, I got you.
(PANTING)
(MACHINE POWERING DOWN)
Shit! There's gotta be
more hydrogen in here!
(BOTTLES CLATTERING)
(GASPING)
(RAPID KNOCKING ON DOOR)
QUINN: David, it's Quinn!
Open up!
Yo, dude, Jessie's missing
and no one can find her.
Is she here?
I screwed up.
I screwed up.
I wasn't trying to
hurt Jessie, I swear.
I was just trying to keep Adam
from getting in this accident.
Dude, Adam's fine.
Adam's not in the hospital?
Jesus! How many times
have you jumped?
It doesn't even
matter anymore.
The timelines, you know,
they can, like, crisscross.
I just need to get
more hydrogen.
I'm going back
to the beginning.
Why would you need
to go back that far?
Because that's the only way to
stop all this from happening!
I need to stop this machine
from ever being built, Quinn.
(SIRENS WAILING IN DISTANCE)
David, think about
what you're saying!
The machine has
given us everything!
We can't just
get rid of it!
It's bigger than just us!
Don't you see that?
DAVID: I'm going.
You are not thinking clearly!
We can't go back to
the way things were before!
DAVID: Quinn,
don't you get it?
The only way to fix this
is to destroy everything.
Dude, people know who we are.
I've never had that.
(PANTING)
DAVID: Quinn, I need
you to trust me, okay?
(TIRES SCREECHING)
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)
OFFICER: This is the Atlanta
Police Department.
Open up, please.
DAVID: Quinn.
Okay.
OFFICER: We're looking
for David Raskin.
QUINN: Just be careful, dude.
(BANGING ON DOOR)
OFFICER: Open up, please.
You guys go to the back.
(POUNDING ON DOOR)
If anybody finds this,
I want you to know I didn't
mean to hurt anybody
and I didn't kidnap anyone.
I was just...
I just wanted a second chance.
(PANTING) My name
is David Raskin.
And I built a time machine.
(BANGING ON DOOR CONTINUING)
OFFICER: Police Department!
Break down the door.
DAVID: Oh, shit.
Come on! Come on!
OFFICER: There he is!
Stop him!
David Raskin, Atlanta PD!
DAVID: Oh, shit!
(DAVID PANTING)
(SIRENS WALING IN DISTANCE)
Oh, shit!
Oh, shit!

David, stop!
Get on the ground, David!

You guys take the front.

(OFFICERS SHOUTING)
Don't shoot! Don't shoot!
JESSIE: So you take my keys
and you disappear forever.
DAVID: I need to go back
to the beginning.
The timelines crisscross...
Ten years total.
You look just like him.
I won't be gone long.
DAVID: Promise?
You think you'll go
back to save him?
Save him?

(DOOR OPENING)
(THUDDING)
What are you doing
in my house?
(DAVID SIGHING)
David?
Hi, Dad.
You figured it out.
Yeah.
I don't...
(STAMMERING) I've got
so many questions.
We can't.
I can't.
We were wrong.
There are no second chances.
Are you okay?
I'm going to be okay.
YOUNG DAVID: Hey, Dad.
Dad, are you down there?
I think it's time for you
to say goodbye to your son.
BEN: I'm proud of you.
YOUNG DAVID:
Who were you talking to, Dad?
BEN: Just a friend.
He's here to fix something.
YOUNG DAVID: Where are
you going? It's my birthday.
BEN: You caught me, pal.
You know I wouldn't be leaving
unless it was real important.
I won't be gone long.
YOUNG DAVID: Promise?
BEN: Of course I promise.
I'll tell you what.
Uh, why don't you...
Time me.
BEN: Time me.
(KIDS SHOUTING)
You guys ready for this?
JESSIE: What is this?
Whoo!
Did you just check out my ass?
Uh, yeah.
DAVID: It's yesterday!
SINGER: This song goes
out to Jessie Pierce.
He is pretty smart, huh?
JESSIE: Stay out
of my perfume.
I'd go back
and meet you sooner.
"Before the world ends,
I have to fall in love."
JESSIE: I love you.
(VIDEO CAMERA BEEPING)
CHRIS: (LAUGHING)
What are you, sulking?
DAVID: God! You scared
the shit out of me.
(CHRIS LAUGHING)
DAVID: I'm not sulking.
CHRIS: Why are
you up here?
Uh...
It's dumb.
You know,
there's this one last
scholarship where I have to
submit a proposal for an
experiment and I thought
maybe if I got it,
Mom wouldn't have
to sell the house.
CHRIS: Huh.
Dad must have a million ideas
lying around up here.
I don't know, Chris.
I mean, I thought there'd be
something up here.
I can't find anything
I can use.
CHRIS: Hey, what is this?
When did we get
a video camera?
Oh, it's right here.
This is Dad's old camera.
Did Dad have two
old cameras?
Uh, I don't know.
Yeah. I guess.
They both say
"Property of Ben Raskin."
Yeah, let me see.
Weird. Do they work?
Yeah, it's playing.
C HRIS: (ON CAMERA) When
did we get a video camera?
DAVID: Oh, that's Dad's
old camera. Remember that?
CHRIS: Yeah .
Hey, look, it still works.
QUINN: I mean, what the hell
is he supposed to say to her?
He can't just walk up
to her and be like...
CHRIS: (SHUSHING)
Would you just be quiet?
Are you trying to
communicate with me...
Telepathically.
How did you know
I was gonna say that?
This is gonna sound crazy,
but I think we're about
to change the world.
