(glass shatters)
(light rumbles and buzzes)
(light buzzes and clicks off)
(tense brooding music)
(thunder booms)
- What do you want? Let me go!
(men grunt)
This is my house!
What do you want?

- [Deep Voice]
Hello, Dr. Muller.
- What is this? What's going on?
- [Deep Voice] You've been
injected with a microchip,
a consciousness communications
device we've been developing
here at the organization.
What do you know
about Project Z Plus?
- Almost nothing.
- It's funny.
It's been said that humans
are the only species
with a true understanding
of the concept of time,
but, as it turns out, time
is actually rather malleable.
What is time in reality other
than a concept of our
own interpretation?
This pill allows us to
interpret that sense
of time differently.
An hour here for an hour there.
Today, tomorrow
forwards, backwards,
consciousness, time travel.
- I don't have any.
- (laughs) No. If you had,
you'd have known we were coming.
Tell me, do you know the
whereabouts of this man?
- That man? He's dead?
(thunder booms)
- Sure.
My information tells me
he was rather generous
in sharing his
information with you.
- He was a colleague in
the science community.
That is all. I am sorry.
- Sir, we found
something. Uploading now.
(electronic beeps trill)
- Thank you, Dr. Muller.
This will be quite useful.
(upbeat music)
(traffic hums)
(tires crunch in gravel)
I got it all figured out
I got it all written down
Well, I don't know
what I'm gonna do
- We're here.
I'm going mess around
I'm gonna mess
around with you, baby
I'm gonna mess
around with you
I got you under my skin
You got me under your spell
You reeled me in but honey
(device beeps)
It won't last
Cause baby, I
know all too well
I'm gonna mess
around with you, baby
(door shuts)
(engine starts)
I'm gonna mess
around with you
(electronic beeps trill)
- You ever worry
one of these days,
that thing's not
going to recognize ya
and burn your eye out?
- Only every time.
Well, I'm gonna
mess around with you
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
- Ready?
No, no, no, no, no
(device beeps)
No, no, no, no
- See you tomorrow.
No, no, no, no, no
(scene whooshes)
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
(device beeps)
(truck rumbles past)
- Where is she? 2:05, Movieland.
- She's coming.
(engine rumbles)
(window slides)
- Welcome to tomorrow.
(contemplative music)
(tires crunch)
There's little to no security,
so this should be
relatively simple.
These should get
you to the elevator
and up to the 13th floor.
They hire an external vendor
for the afternoon cleanup.
- And the target is?
- White boarding room, 1334.
- I can never see shit
in these contacts.
- You and me keep going
in with purple eyes, so.
Will you be able
to see the target?
- Maybe. It won't be perfect.
- Well, we need perfect.
Keep 'em in until
the target's in view.
- Okay. Everything will
just be blurry until then.
- Good. Remember, no details.
We don't want to know
what this company does,
who works there, nothing.
(doors open)
(cart rattles)
- Lee, Martin, can you hear me?
- Loud and clear
(doors thud)
- [Martin] Fucking contacts.
(elevator chimes)
- Hold it, hold it,
hold, hold! Phew.
(doors slide shut)
(Muzak plays overhead)
Didn't you guys
switch to mornings?
I could've swore I got
that memo last week.
- Shit, the cleaning
schedule's from last month.
- Oh, oh.
- That's for daylight
savings, sir.
We don't switch
over till next week.
- Oh, okay. Well, good for you.
(elevator chimes)
I hate those dark
mornings. Take care.
(footsteps shuffle)
- Thanks Martin.
- Oh, anytime, Finn.
(elevator chimes)
(contemplative music)
(muffled chatter)
(cart rattles)
(door opens)
(light clicks on)
- We're in. You're up, Finn.
- Ready?
- We're ready.
- Showtime.
(door opens)
(handle clicks)
(alarms wails)
- [Voice Over Speaker] May I
have your attention please?
This is not a drill.
At the building, do
not use the elevators.
After you leave the
building, please wait.
(door opens)
- Can't see shit.
(footsteps shuffle)
(door opens)
- How are we on time?
- 10 Minutes.
We should be fine.
(tires crunch)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(doors open)
- [Guy With Green
Visor] I'll go inside.
You get the look at the girl.
- Oh, no.
- [Martin] Not sure you
needed me for this one.
(footsteps shuffle)
(gun cocks)
- Finn. Where are
you? Finn, hello?
- We're getting ambushed.
Just get out and meet
me at the loading dock.
I ditched the van for
now. We'll get it later.
(footsteps shuffle)
- We work for-
- Quiet.
(tense music)
I found 'em.
- Copy.
Come on, let's go.
(feet stumble)
- Lee, Martin,
where are you guys?
- Can you tell us who you
are or where we're going?
This would make sense
with the mask and all.
- [Guy With Green Visor]
Open the door. Come on.
(footsteps shuffle)
(door slams)
(dramatic music)
(hand slams)
(door slams)
(punch lands)
(man grunts)
(kick lands)
(punch lands)
(men grunt)
(punch lands)
(punch lands)
(head thuds)
(Martin yells)
(body thuds)
(punches land)
(body thuds)
(object pierces flesh)
(body thuds)
(men pant)
(contemplative music)
- You okay?
- Yeah. We're okay.
- You really like
those tranquilizers.
- What's going on?
- You tell me.
Who are those guys?
- I have no idea.
- [Martin] We need to get away
from here before we switch back.
- Finn, you have the car jacker.
- Yeah. I have it. It's
not ready, but I have it.
50-50 shot it'll work.
- 50-50?
- Maybe 60-40.
- Do it.
Pick us up in the back.
- Motherfucker.
(footsteps shuffle)
(footsteps shuffle)
(object thuds)
(electronic beeps trill)
- How we doing, Finn?
- Two minutes
until we jump back!
- Yeah, I'm working on it.
- Where the fuck is she?
(electronic beeps trill)
(engine starts)
- Got it.
(footsteps shuffle)
(door opens)
(door slams)
(engine rumbles)
(tires screech)
- One minute!
(tires crunch)
For Christ's sake,
this isn't tea time!
(doors slam)
- [Lee] Let's go.
- I'm sure you'll
thank me later.
- We're not out yet.
- 40 seconds!
(tires crunch)
(engine revs)
Well shit.
(tires screech)
Jesus Christ, Finn!
(tires screech)
(watch beeps)
Five seconds. See
you in the truck.
(scene whooshes)
(watch beeps)
- Well, that was a shit show.
- We'll talk about
it when we get back.
(door rattles open)
(slow tense music)
(door slides shut)
- We have to do something.
Look, what if we just,
we change the dates.
- Stop. You know the rules.
We don't do anything
that will affect tomorrow
between 2:05 and 3:05 PM.
- Martin.
- Your rules are going
to get us killed.
- They're the only things
that are keeping our feet
on the ground.
Do you have the target?
- Yeah.
Again, don't think you
needed me for that.
- Maybe, maybe not, but I
don't have photographic memory.
It needs to be verbatim.
- I'm worried about this.
- [Lee] Come on, Finn. The
car jacker worked, right?
- Whoa, whoa, wait. What happens
when it does it work, Finn?
- All the electronics
in the car seize up
for 30 seconds and
we get locked inside.
- Oh.
- But it did work.
- Oh.
- And that means that it
is your job to make sure
that it still works tomorrow,
and then when we get
out of the city safely,
we'll figure out the rest.
- Where are you going?
- I gotta get up early tomorrow,
see the representative,
get our money.
See you two tomorrow
at the spot.
Hey.
It's gonna be fine.
(door slams)
(footsteps shuffle)
(key clicks)
(door opens)
(door slams)
(hand slams)
Stupid.
(flask rattles)
(train honks in distance)
(flask rattles and thuds)
(engine starts)
(car beeps)
(upbeat rock music)
(tires screech)
Come back, honey
You're on your own
I say you might as well
just get what you want
Lately I've been
too shy to tell you
That the way I see
ya may be wrong
You got your mother
and your sister
And all your brothers
Counting (muffled singing)
(tires crunch)
Well, let me tell now
I think I could, baby
Never stand to see
you walk out the door
I got the letter
that you wrote
I got the letter
that you wrote
Hey listen, babe,
I'm gonna go
Hey listen, babe,
I'm gonna go
You can't just take my love
and run me out 100 times
I got the letter
that you wrote
(object rustles)
(electronic beeps trill)
(door whirs open)
(soft music)
(flames crackle)
- [Lee] What just happened?
- [Man] What you're
experiencing right now
are the effects of
consciousness time trading.
You see, your mind is
reordering its events.
- [Lee] I saw...
- [Man] You saw tomorrow, and
tomorrow, you'll see today.
(flames crackle)
(soft tense music)
(footsteps shuffle)
- The money should be in
your account within the hour.
- Thanks.
(footsteps shuffle)
- By the way, the
offer still stands.
You hand over the supply,
and I promise you can
name any number you want.
- Not interested.
- May I at least have your name?
- (chuckles) Have a good day.
- You okay?
- Yeah.
You ready?
- Yep.
(watch beeps)
(scene whooshes)
(boom echoes)
(watch beeps)
- Welcome to yesterday.
- Now we wait.
(tense music)
(engine rumbles)
- [Finn] Okay, tell me again.
What exactly is the plan
once you're back in the car?
- We wake up, we drive out
of town, and we assess.
- So basically wing it.
- 10 seconds.
(watch beeps)
Three, two, one.
(scene whooshes)
(men gasp)
- Get us outta the city.
- On it.
(tense jazzy music)
(traffic whooshes past)
- Oh!
I don't know who
the fuck that was,
but they weren't no
match for Lee Warner!
Coming in in the red shorts,
weighing 175 pounds,
Lee Warner! (grunts)
- What exactly did you
do in this operation?
Amateur hour all day,
every day. 50-50, Finn.
50-50, 60-40. No,
(laughs) I'm just saying.
- Oh, fuck.
(dramatic music)
- Fucking Christ. Go!
(engine revs)
Go! Goddammit, Finn!
(engine revs)
(engine revs)
What was that?
- It won't go.
The brakes are locked up.
- 60, 40 on that
car jacker, huh?
- All right, we're
out. We're on foot.
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(doors slam)
- Hey! Hey, it won't open!
(electronic beeps trill)
(footsteps shuffle)
- Where the fuck's Martin?
- Motherfucker! It won't open!
I can't!
(hands slam)
(tires crunch)
Fuck.
(discordant tense music)
(electronic beeps trill)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
(doors slam)
(door opens)
(tense brooding music)
Oh, shit.
- No!
(Finn pants)
(door opens)
(slow dramatic music)
(engine rumbles)
(footsteps shuffle)
- I'm into the future.
I'm at tomorrow and I
spend an hour there,
but that hour is
actually here today.
- Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
What you're talking
about is, what,
some kind of time machine?
- Kind of, but it's
just for your mind.
It's not for your body. I'm
not explaining this well.
Okay, so-
- Are you sure they
weren't just giving
you some psychedelics?
- (laughs) No, man.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, shit. Okay.
Well, thank you.
Are you sure you have the money?
- Yeah, man.
- All right, then I owe you.
- No, and there's more.
So before I have left,
they gave me a job.
It's a really good job.
It pays really well, and Matty,
we're finally gonna get you
the treatment that you need.
- I am getting the
treatment I need.
- Fuck that, the treatment
that you deserve.
You and me were gonna
beat this thing together.
- You're not lying?
- No. I really believe that.
(ducks quack outside)
(sheets rustle)
(mid-tempo guitar music)
(drink slurps)
Little Miss Small Town
(duck quacks)
She went way down south
She's never gonna come back
Little Miss Small Town
She went way down
She never gonna come back
- All we're asking for is
a little more transparency.
You have to understand.
We don't know your name.
We can't see your face.
We've discussed it and believe
you should consult the board
for any future
trades of this size.
- [Deep Voice] Is that right?
- You seem a bit unpredictable.
- Unpredictable,
really. That's cute.
Tell me, how much money
has your firm cleared
in the past six months
thanks to the organization?
- Look, we're not questioning
your value to the company.
- There is nothing
unpredictable about what I do.
- Markets change.
You keep trading like this
and you'll eventually lose.
The world is unpredictable.
People are unpredictable.
- On the contrary,
people are the product,
and they're a product
that should be controlled.
Stick with me and
reap the benefits,
or else we can part ways
right here right now.
- No, no, that won't
be necessary. Carry on.
(tense music)
(electronic beeps trill)
- You requested
to speak with me.
- Yes. I have a job
for our little friend.
- I thought he was clear he
no longer wished to cooperate.
- Yes, well, you and I both
know what happens to people
who don't cooperate
with the organization.
Let's make sure he
gets that message.
- (laughs) I'll do my
best, but to be honest,
the man is a bit of an idiot.
- That man is key to everything.
(dramatic music)
(mid-tempo laid back music)
(ducks quack)
(ringtone chimes)
- Hello?
- [Representative] I see
you're enjoying the company
of your new friends.
(tense brooding music)
Don't worry, you're
safe, for now.
Well, I have
another job for you.
Saying no isn't
really an option.
(door slams)
(punches land)
(Finn breathes sharply)
(Martin grunts)
- No!
(high-pitched ringing echoes)
(slow dramatic music)
(footsteps shuffle)
(Finn sighs)
(ringtone chimes)
(tires crunch)
(contemplative music)
How did they get our
names? Our addresses?
You said we were good.
- I don't know.
(contemplative music)
- And what are we supposed to
do? You got rid of it, right?
- Yeah. I mean, could just
ignore 'em, call their bluff.
- Did you already
forget what happened?
Wait, when you came to
meet with this shit,
you told me that these jobs
were gonna be low
risk, high reward.
I think about it every day.
- You think that I don't
feel the same way as you?
- No, you don't 'cause
it wasn't your fault.
- It never should've
come to that.
We weren't prepared for an
ambush, and that's on me.
Regardless, I trusted you then,
and I still trust you now.
I mean, you trust me don't you?
- Honestly, no, I don't.
- Well, I guess that's
why we never worked out.
- (laughs) Worked out? What?
- New Hampshire,
baby, two years ago.
- That was a long time ago.
Did you actually get rid
of it like we talked about?
- Yeah. What's with the
new decals on the van?
- Starting my own
security company.
- Yeah, that sounds fun.
- Yeah, it's not.
(Finn sighs)
Why aren't we already dead?
(birds chirp)
(contemplative music)
- You motherfucker. You
still have the Z, don't you?
(electronic beeps trill)
And you wonder why
I don't trust you.
- Fine, but I'm not using.
- (scoffs) Lee, we
talked about this.
After what happened to Martin,
we both agreed that
this had to end.
- Yes, but we also both
agreed the less you know,
the better.
The rules-
- Oh my God!
I know, the rules. Just save it.
- Okay, but in my defense,
the organization is gonna kill
us if we don't do this job,
so you're welcome.
- 14 account
numbers? It's a lot.
- It's also a big price tag.
Look, one last job
and we're done.
- Gonna need a new photog.
- I'll handle it.
- You can barely handle
yourself. What's your plan?
- I'm gonna go see Danny.
- Okay. Whatever.
If we're gonna do this, I
need to start planning now,
so just make it happen.
Take a shower.
(footsteps shuffle)
(upbeat music)
(clippers buzz)
(engine rumbles)
(tires crunch)
(muffled upbeat
music plays inside)
(knock taps)
(door creaks)
- [Cici] Not today.
- Cici, it is good to see you.
- What do you want, Lee?
I just came by to say hello,
see how you were doing.
- Just fine until you showed up.
- Where's Danny?
- He's busy.
- Two seconds.
(paper rustles)
(footsteps shuffle)
- We'll see what's up.
- Good, baby?
- Yep.
- All right.
- All right, right on.
- Thought I smelled
some shit up in here.
- (laughs) Danny.
How you doing, man?
- Man, you better tell me
what the fuck you're
doing in here, man.
- I'm just coming by to say hi.
- Your ass better not
be here making no bets.
- I wouldn't dream of it.
- Damn right you
wouldn't dream of it.
You still owe me, motherfucker.
- That is exactly
what I'm going here.
Paying you back, baby.
(paper rustles)
- I guess it's a start, huh?
- (laughs) How you been?
- I'm fussing. I bought
a boat last summer, huh?
- [Lee] Yeah?
- Thought I might like
fishing. Turns out I don't.
Know anybody looking to buy?
- Sorry.
- Ah, it's all right.
- I need a favor.
- Of course you do.
- Can you stop being
such a sourpuss?
- Sourpuss? Let me
explain something to you.
You spent four years
coming in here making bets,
taking my fucking money,
only for me to find out you've
been using that Z bullshit.
- Danny, that was the old me.
- Those days is gone.
You know what I mean?
It's all over. It's a
brand new Lee, right?
You still live in that RV
that you won off Simpson?
- (laughs) Yeah.
- How about that Mercedes
that you won off Tanner?
You still rolling
around in that?
Okay, yeah. Not a
fucking thing changed.
You're a son of a
bitch, you know that?
And this money, where's
this coming from, huh?
Oh, you spend your days working
as a substitute teacher
making it the honest way?
No, I ain't think so.
Your ass is still using, Lee,
which is why I can
trust you about
as far as I can toss you.
What do you want, man?
- I need a photog.
- Okay. What the fuck
happened to Martin?
- He retired.
- I'm sorry to hear that. Okay?
But that right there,
that's the bullshit. Okay?
That's why you need
to stop. All right?
That's what happens when
you start fucking with time!
As long as you got these pills,
you'll never be
able to walk away.
Once an addict,
always an addict.
Ain't they right, what they say?
- You two are bookies. You make
your living off of addicts.
- That's fair enough.
- I got a job. It's a big one.
You two help me out,
I'll pay you back
double what I owe you.
- You're lucky somebody
loves you. Tell you what.
Yeah, I do know someone.
Old Theo from the racino
came in the other day,
talking about some lady
he had to kick out.
Said she was the best
counter he ever seen.
(funky music)
(skateboard rolls)
Spends her days on
campus collecting money
from all the rich college kids,
just taking all
their tests and shit.
Come on, whoo
Yeah
- [Danny] Yeah, she's
a tough little thing.
Come on, whoo
Come on, whoo
- [Danny] And her nights, yeah.
She spends those at
the casino on Broadway.
(slot machines chime)
(muffled chatter)
She set up the table
right here in this bar.
Chances are she'll be
here later on tonight,
(laughs) way past
my bedtime though.
(muffled chatter)
- Saw you on campus and
now here. What do you want?
- I don't think you're
a student, are you?
- I might be. You
here to blackmail me?
- Not quite. I do have
a proposal for you.
Also, you know you don't
need a photographic memory
to count cards, right?
- Doesn't hurt.
- You got a history
of drug abuse?
- (scoffs) What? No.
- Good. Don't take it.
- But I usually love taking
pills from strange men at bars.
- It's called Z
Plus. Look it up.
If you're interested,
meet me tomorrow,
Jenning's Landing, 8:00 AM.
(upbeat bar music)
(Sophia scoffs)
(bright upbeat funky music)
- What's up, everyone.
Welcome back to the channel.
First things first,
I wanna remind you to like,
comment, and subscribe.
If you haven't already,
make sure you hit that
little notification bell
at the bottom so you
never miss another video.
Let's just dive right in.
A question popped
into my feed today
about a Reddit post detailing
a so-called time travel pill.
I took a look and, of course,
met it with heavy skepticism.
But after a little bit of
research, I'm not so sure.
To really understand
where all this comes from,
we're gonna have to go
back a couple of years
and talk about a man
named Dr. Jay Tupple.
He was a neurophysicist
who died in 2018,
or so they say, but
more on that later.
His studies on the concept
of consciousness time trading
were considered
controversial due
to his use of human
test subjects.
Now the serum,
which was called Z,
reportedly made
the subjects crazy.
Later, it was advanced
into its current pill form
called Z Plus.
Now that was before his
disappearance in 2019
after the Russian mob reportedly
raided his laboratory.
The police never found his body,
and they've since
declared him dead.
But this wouldn't be the
first time Dr. Tupple
brought on this
type of controversy.
See, two years earlier,
he was declared dead
after being involved
in the rescue of
a missing child,
only to turn up six
months later unharmed.
See, this has led several
people to theorize
that Dr. Tupple is in fact
alive and is on the run
and is using the Z
Plus to stay ahead
of those that are
looking for him.
The pill is rumored to be
able to change the order
in which our minds
perceive time and events.
But this is where the facts
get a little bit less certain.
(birds caw)
(tense music)
- Yeah, I know.
(tires crunch)
We'll get him, don't worry.
(door opens)
(door slams)
(door opens)
(footsteps shuffle)
What do we have here?
- [Henchman] I think this
one's over the edge, boss.
- Stop! How many times
do I have to tell you?
I don't wanna see their faces.
- [Henchman] You want
me to put it back on?
- No, cut him loose.
Wait in the car.
(knife slices)
(slow dramatic music)
Tell me, what seems
to be the matter?
- Nothing, nothing,
nothing at all.
I made a stupid joke, and
George took me too seriously.
Everything's good.
- Sorry to hear that.
If there is something
wrong, you could tell me.
- I'm trying to remember
what happened even fucking
two minutes ago, and I can't.
It's like two sides,
two competing memories.
- [Derrick] I'm so sorry.
(atmosphere undulates
and rumbles)
(grunts)
- Look, man, I can't
take it anymore.
Like cars crashing
together in my brain.
I don't know what's
real anymore.
- I see. I have to ask you.
Did you or did you not
do what I asked of you?
- (grunts) I did, I did.
- Put the sack back
on your head, please.
(gunshot blasts)
(body thuds)
(gunshots blast)
(slow dramatic music)
(footsteps shuffle)
(door opens)
(door slams)
I need them to keep
things straight.
Get some more Z serum
from one of the new guys.
(engine starts)
(engine revs)
(mid-tempo jazzy music)
(heels clack)
- All right, what is this
really? Time travel pills?
I mean, what are you trying
to sell me magic beans?
You trying to get me to
pass 'em off to others?
- I'm trying to offer you a job.
- No, thank you.
- I did a little
research on you.
You're in debt and
with the wrong people.
I've been there
before. It sucks.
I'm guessing now you're looking
for a way to start over.
- Okay, I'm gonna
humor you for a second
and believe that this is real.
Explain.
- On the paper's what
I'm offering for the job.
Let's get coffee. (grunts)
(footsteps shuffle)
(footsteps shuffle)
- No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no.
I mean, there are many
ways to get exposure.
Well, that's what everyone
gets wrong, right?
I mean, if everyone
was getting right,
they we'd know about it, right?
(laughs) Okay.
(laughs) Right, yeah.
Okay. Well, you know, yeah,
I'm just leaving right now.
Okay. I gotta go.
(upbeat funky music)
(shutter clicks)
(door opens)
- Okay, consciousness
time trading. Just
walk me through it.
- Okay.
(muffled chatter)
Hey, miss. How you doing?
You got a pen on you?
(pen thuds)
Thanks.
Okay, so we think of
time in a straight line,
one road leading
from A to B, right?
Let's start to think
of it as a map.
The locations stay the same,
but the order and the route
in which you hit
them can change.
(electronic beeps trill)
- That's a pretty
high-tech case.
- Yeah. These pills are no joke.
The wrong person tries
to open up this case,
and it will burn their eye out.
- Jesus. And you just
gave me one in a bar?
- Relax. This is a fake.
So do you have plans
tomorrow morning?
- Oh, yeah. I have a gig.
I'm taking a midterm
for a trust fund baby.
(contemplative music)
- It's 9:00 AM, give or take.
Let's say hypothetically
that you take the pill,
the Z Plus, right now.
When you take the pill,
you're gonna close your eyes.
When you open them,
they're gonna be purple.
That means you're
jumping forward.
You should be right on campus,
getting ready to take that test.
- Then they'll definitely
know something's up,
but if I don't do well,
I'm gonna fucking fail,
and my parents are
gonna fucking kill me.
- Wait, what happens to tomorrow
me when I'm in their body?
- Here's where it gets a
little more complicated.
Let's go back to just
before your eyes went purple
on campus.
- I really have
to do well on this
because my parents are paying
full tuition, as you know.
- While you're jumping
forward from the day before,
your tomorrow self is gonna
wake up in your body right now.
Your eyes are gonna be green.
That means you're
jumping backward.
For the next hour,
tomorrow Sophia's gonna get
to hang out here with
me at the coffee shop
while today Sophia-
- Will be in my body tomorrow.
- When the time runs
out, you'll switch back.
That's how it works, basically.
- Basically.
- Basically. (laughs)
The stuff was originally
concocted as a serum, Z,
much more unpredictable,
much more dangerous.
Eventually, it was refined
into the pill form,
Z Plus, with a bit more control.
- But can't any little thing
change everything though,
like the butterfly effect?
- Yeah. That's why we limit
the amount of variables.
The less we know, the better.
We don't know what
we're trying to steal,
it makes it harder for
us to screw it all up.
The team is made up
of three components,
the sitter, the
tech, and the photog.
The sitter, me, is in
charge of making sure
that we don't lose our
minds by limiting the amount
of variable, such
as the moving truck,
making sure that we
have limited knowledge
and administering the Z.
The tech's job is to
plan the actual steal
and manage the logistics.
Lucky for us, we try
to steal information
that has no significant
value on the day of
but means a whole hell of a
lot if obtained the day before.
Low risk, low
security, high reward.
I see took the
decals off the van.
- How's it going?
You must be Sophia.
(clears throat) I'm Finn.
- And I'm the new
photog, I'm assuming.
- Yep.
We get you in. You remember
it when you come back.
- Do I wanna know what
happened to the other one?
- (sighs) Before you
agree to anything,
you should be aware that there
are certain dangers involved
in what we do.
When you steal from people,
sometimes they fight back,
but above all else,
we follow my rules.
We get in, we get
out, and we get paid,
and then we're all on our own.
What do you think?
- So what are we stealing?
- Finn.
- I have bad news
and I have good news.
Our target is 14 account
numbers, 10 digits each,
to be published and stored
in their records Thursday.
I've omitted the name of the
company for obvious reasons.
- 14 account numbers?
- It's a lot. You okay?
- Yeah.
- So the location is
a nightmare for us.
Cameras everywhere at all times,
security at every entrance.
It's a non-starter and
with such a short runway
for planning, even more of
a zero-chance operation.
- You said there was good news.
- Simon Willoughby.
Technically, on their
staff he's a programmer,
but in reality, he's a
go between for any large
and less than ethical
deals for the company.
Basically, he's the fall guy.
- No, no, no, no. I don't
need to know any of that, no.
Just send me over the
details. I'll take care of it.
- What's good for
us is that he works
from his fancy upstate
chalet this time of year.
- Yeah, So I'm heading
north of the week.
Yeah, yeah, you gotta
come check this place out
and then we'll hang
out in the jacuzz.
It'll be a great time.
Yeah, no, no, I'm good.
Okay, yep. I'll give
you a quick call later.
Bye bye.
- Place is nice, but
it's less than secure.
Does seem, though, as of late,
he's been going
through some stuff.
(engine revs)
- [Woman On Tape]
It's easy to believe
that just because
you're not currently
where you want to be
spiritually and physically,
you mustn't ever forget
that tomorrow is a new day,
a day to be a new you.
Repeat after me.
I am good enough.
- I am good enough.
- I am worth it.
- I am worth it.
- I have value.
- I have value.
- [Woman On Recording]
I am a good person.
- I am a good person.
- [Voice On Phone] New
call from Todd Hamilton.
- Hey you! What can I do for ya?
- I'll have the numbers on
his computer Thursday morning.
That gives us a very small
window of time to obtain them
and get them to the organization
before our deadline.
Any questions?
(funky contemplative music)
(car hums)
(doors slide open)
(dial clicks)
(button beeps)
(tires crunch)
- Okay. So you know the plan.
Unless shit hits the fan,
we should wake up at location B,
at which we'll infiltrate
through the pipeline
to the main property.
Then-
- Then it's a matter of
Simon chasing the delivery.
The mail usually comes
around 9:30 or 10.
- Then we get in, we get
the target off the computer,
and we get out undetected, copy?
- Copy.
Word of advice, Sophia.
The first time can feel a
little jolting. Don't fight it.
(scene whooshes and booms)
(Sophia gasps)
How'd it go?
(laughs) You get used to it.
Quarter mile into those
woods is the drainage pipe.
That'll take you to
Simon's backyard.
You good?
- (scoffs) I'm good.
See you soon.
(upbeat funky music)
(door opens)
(door slams)
(door slams)
- All right, Lee,
give me an update.
- We're good. We're
almost at the spot.
(tires crunch)
That's a go, Finn.
(door opens and slams)
(doorbell rings)
(doorbell rings)
- Hello?
Hi.
Hello!
You're up, you two.
- Where are you going?
(door creaks open)
- Finn, it's locked.
- Can you pick it?
- Yeah, sure. Stand back.
(foot thuds)
(Lee groans)
- [Finn] I said pick
it, not kick it, Lee.
(contemplative music)
(lock clicks)
- Well, how'd you
learn to do that?
- Don't wanna know.
- Come on, come on.
- The fuck. Right here!
- The email's not here.
- Finn, the email's not there.
- Should've been there at 10.
- Well, it's not.
- [Finn] Well, if it's not
there, it's coming soon.
- Well, we don't really have
that kind of time, Finn.
- Wait, it just came in.
- Let's go.
- Well, give me
a couple seconds.
- All right, time's
up. Let's go.
(tires crunch)
- Okay, got it.
- Lee, we got company.
- Who?
(dramatic music)
Yeah, yeah, right here.
Bring it back, yeah.
Drive away and then come back.
Right, bring it
right fucking here.
(door opens and slams)
(Simon grunts)
Shit!
(footsteps shuffle)
What do we do?
- Go, minimal impact.
(Simon whimpers)
- Get off of me. Get
the fuck off of me!
Whatever it is, it's another
deal. I can get you details.
- We're going.
- Hi.
I don't know who you are,
but I can fix whatever
the fuck it is.
- Sh, I know. Are you alone?
- This is my place. I'm alone.
I'm always fucking alone. Okay?
(pants)
(tense brooding music)
- Kill him.
- Please, please don't!
I can get you whatever you want.
I can do whatever you want.
I know some very, very
powerful, very rich people.
I can make whatever it is
that you want to have happen.
I'm just trying to actually
be a little bit better
of a person.
I'm just not quite there yet.
I can't die right now. Okay?
Please.
(bullet hits)
(man grunts)
(body thuds)
(tense dramatic music)
(bullets hit)
(men grunt)
See. I knew you weren't alone.
(footsteps shuffle)
- Go with her.
Who are you, you son of a bitch?
(tense music)
(footsteps shuffle)
(punch lands)
(Derrick grunts)
Who are you?
- (laughs) Hi, Lee.
- Answer!
(water splashes)
Answer!
(water splashes)
(Derrick grunts)
(punch lands)
(Lee groans)
(footsteps shuffle)
(engine rumbles)
- Hey.
(door slides open and shut)
- What happened to
minimal impact, Lee?
- What the fuck is going on?
- [Finn] Lee, where are
you? Lee, answer me.
(Lee grunts)
(dramatic music)
- Fucker.
I'm here. I'm here.
Find a safe spot off the road.
Drive some. I'll meet you there.
- I think we're being followed.
- You think?
- No shit!
- No, different follower.
- You know what?
You can just pull over
right here and I'll get out.
Thank you so much for saving
me. I really do appreciate it.
- Lee, were those the same
guys that killed Martin?
- I don't know!
- Who's Martin?
(tires crunch)
(door opens and slams)
- Get out.
- What do you mean get out?
- Get out!
- 15 seconds.
- We'll be back tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- 11 Seconds.
- What?
- Seven seconds.
- Until what?
- Ready?
(device beeps)
(scene whooshes)
(Sophia gasps)
(birds chirp)
- Where are we?
- Why are we at your place, Lee?
- I don't know.
- Why aren't we in the truck?
- Because we clearly
left the truck
after we jumped backwards.
- Fuck! The Z's gone.
- What do you mean?
- I mean it's gone, everything.
(contemplative music)
- Okay. Let's recap.
We were in the
truck and took a Z.
Our tomorrow selves occupied
our bodies for the next hour.
During that hour, they somehow
got us to your trailer,
and the Z was stolen.
- Maybe the driver
brought us here
and forced you to
hand over the Z.
- It wasn't the driver.
- We were being followed
since the beginning.
- Yeah, no shit.
- No, there was another car.
It looked like your car.
Is someone gonna explain how
we got out of a moving truck?
- Yeah. How did we get
out of the truck, Lee?
Jesus Christ. I knew it.
There's an eye scanner in
the truck, isn't there?
- But the truck is moving?
- You have all these
rules that everyone has
to follow except for you.
- It's for emergencies.
Listen, we could've just
decided to come back here,
hide Z from whoever it
is before they got to it.
- Okay. Where would you hide it?
- I don't know. It
could be anywhere.
- Like here?
- Stop.
- What?
- Don't look.
- Why?
- If you look and
it's not there,
then we can't come back
tomorrow and hide it.
- Schrodinger's cat.
- Whose cat?
- Schrodinger's cat.
It's an idea about
paradoxes and realities.
Say you have a box
with a cat in it
and you don't know if
it's alive or dead.
Before you look inside the box,
it's actually both
alive and dead.
Either reality could be true.
Once you look inside
the box, though,
we're committed to that version.
So the Z is both behind the
panel and not behind the panel?
- [Lee And Finn] Mm-hmm.
- Okay, so what do we do?
- We stick to the plan.
Tomorrow, we drive to
Simon's cabin, park the car.
We jump backwards into
the truck, we come here,
we hide the Z behind the
panel, wake up in the woods,
deal with Simon, and then we
are having beers by dinner.
- And what about the job?
- And your car?
- I'll figure it out.
Do you have the numbers?
- Yeah.
- Finn, may I please
have the keys to the van?
(keys jingle)
(footsteps shuffle)
- Better get us paid.
- It is gonna be fine.
(door opens and shuts)
Fuck!
- It's gonna be fine.
(soft tense music)
(birds caw)
(footsteps shuffle)
- I'm sorry.
The liquid sample you provided
to us is just very unstable.
We're getting closer,
but it's not ready yet.
Do you understand what
this is, Dr. Muller?
- This is spatial
temporal neuroscience,
and it's extremely complicated.
- Wrong. This is a race,
a race for the future.
Do you understand?
- I do.
- Keep working.
(dramatic music)
(upbeat music)
(muffled chatter)
- Is Danny here?
- He's out there
trying to find somebody
to buy that stupid boat.
Everything okay?
- Our brains have already
established a timeline
in which we wake up at my place.
So if we wake up anywhere else,
our brains aren't gonna
know which timeline
is the right one.
- I still don't
understand the blindfolds.
- It can be very
tempting to want
to try and change your
past, even only for a day.
If we don't know where
we are when we go back,
it makes it a lot
tougher to change things
than lose total
grip on our reality.
- (scoffs) This
shit's complicated.
- Now you're telling me.
- So be honest.
When you get to the truck,
do you, Lee Warner, really
not know where you are?
You still in love with Finn?
(Lee laughs)
How's she doing?
- She's good.
- I gotta finish closing.
You good to go home?
- Yeah, I got Finn's van.
- What happened to your car?
- Honestly, I don't
know. (laughs)
- Well, good luck tomorrow or
today or I don't fucking know.
(soft ethereal music)
(footsteps shuffle)
(knock taps)
- Hello, anybody?
(knock taps)
- Hi there.
- Whoa, shit. (laughs)
You scared me.
- Sorry.
Would you like to join
me for another drink?
- I think the bar's closing.
(footsteps shuffle)
- Maybe we can go
somewhere else,
somewhere more private perhaps.
- Yeah, maybe.
- I see pain in your eyes, Lee.
(door slams open)
(Lee pants)
- I've had my eye on you.
- Okay! (laughs)
- I have a secret.
Can I share it?
- Look, this is really great,
but I think that you think
that I'm somebody else.
- Don't fight it, Lee.
(device booms)
(Lee grunts)
- [Lee] Fuck was that?
- Don't fight it, Lee.
(Lee grunts and pants)
(electronic beeps trill)
(air undulates)
(Lee groans)
(electronic beeps trill)
- [Deep Voice] It's a
pleasure to finally talk
to you, Mr. Warner.
- What is this?
What is going on?
- You've been injected
with the consciousness
communications device.
I just spoke with
my representative,
and I would love
to discuss how you
and I can improve our
working relationship.
- How about a fucking
phone call, man?
- Lee, I took the privilege of
looking at your profile here.
Arrested seven times.
Robbery, fraud. I mean,
the list goes on and on.
I'm also reading here
that you've got one
of your team members killed.
Such a pity, but
nevertheless, you carry on.
You seem quite strong willed.
I'm also strong willed.
- Where's our money?
- Lee, the organization needs
your help, and quite frankly,
we had the organization do not
like to get our hands dirty.
And it would be such
a terrible shame
if something were to happen
to one of your people,
again, that is.
(soft tense jazzy music)
Look, Lee, let's not
have another death due
to your pride, shall we?
If you reconsider the
offer of helping us,
you can find another microchip
in your left jacket pocket.
You know what to do.
(air whooshes)
(electronic beeps trill)
(Lee groans)
(water runs)
(Lee pants)
(engine rumbles)
(contemplative music)
- Once we're back in the truck,
we'll have one hour to get out,
take the van to my
place, and hide the Z.
- [Sophia] What
happens if we don't?
- Nothing good.
- Lee, again,
remind me how this is
supposed to get us paid.
- Five seconds.
- I have a contingency plan.
- Of course you do.
- See you in the truck.
(truck rumbles and rattles)
- Lee?
(engine rumbles)
(tense music)
(electronic beeps trill)
Lee, the truck is moving.
Guessing you don't
have one for us?
- Not gonna be needing
one. Stand back.
(door rattles open)
- Now what are you gonna do?
- Improvise.
(dramatic music)
- Lee, what the fuck?
(Lee grunts)
(Lee grunts)
(Lee grunts)
Stop
Gonna stop
There's no high like
being chased in that truck
That truck
I feel the pressure
just the sun on my face
The sun on my face
They'll never find
(dramatic music)
(door opens)
(guns cock)
(gunshot blasts)
(Lee grunts)
(horn honks)
(vest rips)
(Lee pants)
(muffled singing on radio)
What do you feel
What do you feel
To face the livin' to
following the rules
(Lee pants)
(engine rumbles)
(traffic hums)
(contemplative music)
(door slams)
(footsteps shuffle)
(door opens)
We need to hide the Z and
leave everything else exactly
how we found it.
- Hey guys,
we need to hide the Z and
leave everything else exactly
how we found it.
- Got it.
Wait. This was open yesterday.
- Because we opened it.
- Oh no, no. Remember,
leave it off.
That's how we found it when
we woke up here yesterday.
- Right, the fucking cabinet.
- Positions.
(door opens)
How we doing for time?
- Five minutes.
- And we were in
these spots, right?
- Yeah. I think I was over here.
- Something's not right.
- We're ahead of schedule?
- I hope so.
(birds chirp)
(dog barks in distance)
(tires crunch)
(dramatic suspenseful music)
Shit! Everybody inside!
(tires crunch)
(door shuts)
- I know you're in
there. Come out.
You have something that I want.
I was thinking perhaps
we can make a trade.
I have something
that you may want.
(footsteps shuffle)
You have 10 seconds!
(soft dramatic music)
10, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four, tres, dos!
- I'm here!
- There he is.
(footsteps shuffle)
(slow dramatic music)
- Who are you?
- Those eyes. See, we're
not so different, Lee.
I was just a few
years too early.
- [Man] What's your
experience right now?
- [Derrick] Think about
what that first batch
of serum was like, your
own memories becoming lies.
It's hard to describe.
You become powerless.
- You see, your mind is.
- Small.
(laughs)
It's pretty quite
fascinating, isn't it?
An entire galaxy of moments
living inside our minds.
With that being said, I prefer
to live in the here and now.
Whenever you wake up tomorrow,
your friend here can
either be dead or alive,
but you probably already
know what happens.
As we both know, we can
always change things, right?
- Now go.
- I'll see you soon, Lee.
(footsteps shuffle)
(doors slam)
(car departs)
(footsteps shuffle)
(soft dramatic music)
- Thank you.
- Mm-hmm.
I'm-
- Sorry, Finn. Time?
(footsteps shuffle)
- 30 seconds.
- I know the way
this is gonna sound,
but I need you to go.
- What?
- We're about to wake up here.
If he's here when we do,
we're gonna lose total grip.
I need you to go right now.
- Okay, what the fuck?
- Sophia!
- 15 seconds.
- Take it and go. Okay?
You're welcome to follow us,
but don't let us
know you're there.
I'll see you at
this time tomorrow.
- Five seconds.
- Positions.
(watch beeps)
(jazzy music)
(engine starts)
- Three, two, one.
(air undulates)
(birds chirp)
- So I'm gonna ask again. What
the fuck is going on, huh?
(door opens)
(engine rumbles)
(door slams)
(soft music)
(door slams)
- I am so sorry.
- Okay. All right.
(footsteps shuffle)
Who's this?
- I'm Sophia.
- Nice to meet ya.
- It's nice to meet you, too.
(leaves rustle)
(jazzy contemplative music)
- His name is Derrick Volkov.
He's a Russian mobster
was, for some reason,
hired to obtain the
full supply of Z Plus.
He's hired mercenaries
to take the Z
and jump so he doesn't have to.
- I'm confused. We saw you die.
- Not quite. I didn't make
it out the first time,
I was told.
(gunshot blasts)
(Finn screams)
They kept me just
barely alive long enough
for them to undo it.
(frequency whines)
(gunshot blasts)
(tense brooding music)
They can fuck with
events on his behalf
without him having to
know their identities.
Then when they
start to go crazy,
lose their grip on reality,
they're disposed of.
- Do you know who hired him?
- I don't.
- I do. Derrick Volkov
is a client of mine.
I've never met him until today.
- Go on.
- Untie me and tell
me what's going on,
and then yeah,
maybe I will go on.
(soft tense music)
He's a client by name only.
Actually, they have a very
large transaction scheduled
for this week.
- How big?
- Big, like 100 million.
- Derrick's selling over
the Z that we handed to him?
- What do you do exactly?
- I'm a programmer
for a crypto company.
I facilitate large transfers
with guaranteed anonymity,
no questions asked.
- So you help the
crooks get paid.
- Crooks like you.
It's the future,
just as good as cash
and completely untraceable.
You know, I'm gonna
be killed for this.
I'm in too deep, and I know
too much with these guys,
so I really hope that you
guys can do something.
I've seen the trades
this company's made.
They're after something big.
I know based on everything
you guys know about me,
I'm a total piece of shit.
I get that, but I've
really been trying
to actually be a better person.
So that in the case
that I do bow out,
I'd like to go out as a
slightly smaller piece
of shit than I am now.
- What are you saying?
- What I am saying is that
they're on a different level.
They wanna control everything,
full market manipulation.
So I don't know if you
all are the good guys
or the bad guys,
but it seems to me
that you're all my best
chance of staying alive
and to start being
a better person.
- Appreciate that sentiment.
The problem is we're all dead.
We have no Z, so no
matter what we do,
they'll always be
a day ahead of us.
(footsteps shuffle)
- What the fuck is Z?
(trunk clicks open)
(birds chirp)
(footsteps shuffle)
- Stop flexing.
- (laughs) I'm not.
- I'm starting to have
that feeling again.
- That we should be dead?
- Why aren't we?
They have our Z.
- Because they want
something else.
- Like more Z?
(contemplative music)
- No.
- Do you know where he is?
- No. Nobody does.
- Lee.
- Fine. He may have
reached out a couple times.
- That could be the 100
million dollar transaction.
- Finn, no.
- The only way to
protect ourselves
from these guys is to
get more Z from Jay.
- But that's exactly
what we want,
and as soon as we lead
them, there they'll kill us.
- Unless we make a plan.
(doors slam)
- So again, where are we going?
(engine starts)
(car beeps)
- His name's Jay. He's the cook.
- Something wrong?
- Hmm?
We have a bit of a
complicated history.
He used to pay me cash
to test out the Z Plus,
and I haven't seen him since.
- Since when?
- Since I stole it from him.
(contemplative music)
(engine revs)
- So I know I've been
asking this a lot,
but where are we going?
- Jay's.
- Oh, right.
- He's the one who
invented the stuff.
- The time travel pills?
- Yep.
- Have you met this guy?
- No. Lee has.
- So, like time travel. Wow.
Can someone just please explain
to me how all this works?
(upbeat music)
Fine.
So are you and the guy
with the 'stache a thing?
I mean, are you
married or something?
I mean, it seem like you guys
are really hitting it off.
- It's called CTT,
consciousness time trading.
(Martin laughs)
Is fallible inside
We're fallible inside
We're so capable
Time is rescindable
This time
When the moment's right
Time
We're gonna break divide
That's yesterday,
it's out of sight
- I was done dealing
with you, Lee.
- Hard to get rid of.
Time
Time
Time
This time
Yesterday is out of sight
Time
Tomorrow night
Time
Tomorrow night
Time
- So that's that?
We're outta Z, on the run,
and they have the supply.
- And that's why I
stopped producing.
You and I both know
you keep doing this,
you'll end up dead or worse.
- So.
Can you help us out?
(food crunches)
- Maybe.
- What do you want?
- I don't want anything.
You know, we're not all
into this for personal gain.
Plus, I only have one pill left.
- That's it?
- Well that and some (laughs)
newly created muscle relaxers.
- What's wrong with 'em?
- They'll kill you.
(contemplative music)
(footsteps shuffle)
- Lee was kind enough to
give me some of his clothes.
- No shit. You look like
Tommy Bahama fucked a wet dog.
(Simon chuckles)
- So how long have you
known the other guys?
- Need you guys
to jump in the van
and put these sensors
down on any roadways
that connect to here
within five miles.
They come early, we'll know.
Sophia's idea, and
a good one, too.
(bag rustles)
(Lee grunts)
- So what are you going to do
when this is all done, huh?
- (sighs) I haven't
thought that far.
- [Jay] You gotta
keep running forever?
- I haven't thought about it.
(shovel hits dirt)
- I am so sorry what I
did to you and the others.
- (exhales sharply)
Save it, Jay.
- No, I was selfish.
- Selfish? You think?
(slow dramatic music)
You understand the up
things that you used to do?
Recruiting desperate
people like me?
- I thought I was acting
in the name of science.
- I told you all about my
brother, how sick he was.
He was my only family,
and I would do anything
that I needed to
to help him out.
And you never even
seemed to care, Jay.
Every time we jumped,
we lost a little bit of
our connection to reality.
- I know. It's just that
when you took the Z-
- When I took the Z,
that's because that was the
quickest thing that I could do
to get my brother the
money that he needed.
- And how did all that work out?
- I went too far.
Eventually, I
couldn't differentiate
between what happened
and what didn't.
I ended up owing a lot of money.
- I don't wanna see you
crash like this, never again.
- Told you, I got
it figured out.
- I know.
I know you think you have
it all under control,
but believe me when I tell you,
you're either gonna have to
give this up or bring others in.
- Jay, after this is done,
I'm getting rid of the Z Plus.
- Whatever you say.
- You wanna know
the worst thing?
Put two grand on the Jets.
- You serious?
You came in and made that
bet yesterday, Lee, and lost.
- No I didn't.
- [Danny] This is the
fifth time this week.
You keep calling and
repeating yourself.
(frequency whines)
(Lee grunts)
- Oh, shit. What day is it?
- [Danny] Really? It's Tuesday.
Lee, you okay?
- No, I'm fine.
I'm fine. I just,
I gotta go, Danny.
Hi, Nancy. Yeah, I called my
brother, and I don't know.
He must be sleeping or
something like that.
I was just thinking
about coming by today.
- [Nancy] Lee, I'm
not sure I understand.
- No, I called Matt.
I just need to come by and talk
to him about some family stuff.
- [Nancy] Lee.
(air booms and undulates)
Our conversation
yesterday. Are you okay?
(muffled speaking)
(crickets chirp)
(slow dramatic music)
At the end, I didn't even
know that my brother had died.
- I'm sorry.
(footsteps shuffle)
- Uh uh, I'm driving.
(bright upbeat music)
- Okay, according to
the information we have
from Simon and Martin, this
plan is based on the assumption
that Derrick and his guys will
try to take us down tomorrow.
First question is
who jumps forward
since we only have one pill.
- It's Martin. Sorry, Sophia.
He's got the experience.
- Over the next 24 hours,
I'll set up a security camera
system around the house
that will record continuously.
Martin, tomorrow,
you'll take the Z Plus.
Presumably, you'll wake
up the day of the ambush.
The security camera feed
will be sent directly
to your phone.
You'll have one hour to
scrub through the footage
to find out exactly
when and how they come.
I know I don't have
to tell you this,
but every detail helps.
Once you have the information,
you'll wake up back here
and inform us of everything.
At that point, Lee
and I will form a plan
to recontextualize
events in our favor.
- Okay, first of all,
love the optimism,
but each of Derrick's men
carry enough Z serum with them
that they could be forwards
or backwards at any moment.
So no matter what we do, they
will always be ahead of us.
Even if this does succeed,
they're not going to stop.
- Noted. How can I help?
- How much control do you have
over Derrick's transactions?
Redirect it?
- Maybe.
I mean, if we're
within a mile of Volkov
when the transaction gets
improved, then yeah, probably.
- Love that confidence.
(dark brooding music)
- [Derrick] Okay, well,
you'll have it tonight.
- Good, good. Very good.
(electronic beeps trill)
Get the transfer ready.
- The funds will be in your
account until midnight tonight.
Then we need answers.
(knock taps)
(soft tense music)
- Hey, how are we doing?
- This definitely
isn't low risk.
We don't have to do this. We
can figure something else out.
- No. We're gonna
finish the job.
- It'll work.
- And what if it doesn't?
- Then you guys can run.
Jay will make some more.
You'll stay ahead. You'll
figure something out.
- Thought we were
getting rid of the Z.
- I'll leave that up to you.
Hey. It's okay.
(watch beeps)
- Northwest sensor
just went off.
- Mm-hmm. Hide everyone.
(dramatic music)
We gotta move. Derrick
and his guys are early.
They're gonna be
here in five minutes.
- Well, shit. So question.
How am I supposed
to jump to tomorrow
and give us an heads
up if we're all going
to be dead within the hour?
(door opens)
(birds chirp)
(door slams)
- It's a beautiful day.
(tires crunch)
You have a plan, don't you?
- Are you serious?
- (laughs) Well, don't tell me.
I mean, I don't care.
I love surprises.
Do you?
(dark brooding music)
(doors open and slam)
(footsteps shuffle)
- Long time no see.
- I wanted to thank
you for the gift.
- Robert?
- The name's Derrick
now, Jay Tupple.
- (sighs) What happened
to you, Robert?
- Derrick!
The name is Derrick.
They told me about your Z Plus,
the advances that you made.
It's pretty amazing stuff
compared to what we used.
- They're jumping.
- No, he's not.
They only have one pill left.
I was gonna take
it this afternoon.
(boots thump)
(tense music)
Sorry, Lee. I've had with
your self-serving rules.
Your rules got me killed.
The girl is still inside.
(footsteps shuffle)
I mean, you've got a
time travel pill, right?
And your first thought is,
"Oh, petty crime." (laughs)
You know what your
problem is, Lee?
You've got no imagination.
I mean, look at you.
You're a low budget Tom
Selleck cosplaying alcoholic.
But us, we're gonna
change the world.
- You piece of shit.
You led us straight to Jay
and then you led
them straight here.
Wait for us to make a plan,
and then you fucked us.
- [Martin] Sorry.
- Don't you take
us and let them be?
- Oh, well, why would I do that?
- Because you need me alive.
- Fortunately for
me, you're fine.
- Except I'm not.
I made these muscle relaxers,
and they're not good.
I mean, they're deadly.
Really, you should see
in the back the mass graveyard
I have (laughs) in place.
So when I saw you
coming, I took one.
I have about 30 minutes to live.
(tense jazzy music)
- You're lying.
- Go ahead, kill
him. I don't care.
I mean, his mind is so
messed up from the Z,
it's probably all mush.
He's nothing to me. Worthless.
- Thank you, Jay.
- No problem.
But I know where an antidote is.
It's buried in a safe
in an empty field
about five miles from here.
(tense brooding music)
We go, leave them here, get
the antidote, and off we go.
(footsteps shuffle)
(laughs)
(gunshot blasts)
(body thuds)
- [Finn] Oh, shit!
(gunshots blast)
- I'm not fucking around here!
(heartbeats echo)
Pack up the body.
I'm sure there's
some experiments they
could do if the old
man's not lying.
(dark brooding music)
Number one, number
two, take them inside.
Number three and
I'll take this one.
We'll meet you back here
once we have the antidote.
(footsteps shuffle)
- [Simon] Fuck!
- Simon, you need to calm down.
- Finn, Lee just got killed
and we lost a scientist.
What the fuck do you want?
- Everything's fine.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah. Are you sure, Finn?
- Trust me.
(jazzy contemplative music)
(phone rings)
- Yes. We have the stash.
We have the
scientist. Lee's dead.
- Well done. What's your ETA?
- [Derrick] We have a
little bit of a situation.
Tupple poisoned himself.
We're on our way to
get the antidote.
- Send your location.
I'll send someone.
- Okay, no. That's
not gonna work for me.
- And why is that, Mr. Volkov?
- Because once you know my
location, I'm a dead man.
I need the transaction
approved before I return.
- Fine.
I'll send half,
but only after I see a picture
of a healthy Dr.
Tupple will I approve.
- Okay, good. Deal.
(electronic beeps trill)
- We have eight minutes to
get within one mile of them.
Need to get to the van.
Simon, you still think you
can redirect that transaction?
- Yeah.
- Okay.
Computer's in the van.
You have the keys, right?
- Oh shit. I left
them on the counter.
- Okay. We'll get the keys.
- How are you gonna do that?
- Improvise.
(door opens)
(tires crunch)
(Derrick snaps)
- Take it off!
Tell us where the
antidote is buried.
- It's about two feet
underneath that red reflector.
- Go.
(door opens)
(door slams)
- You may have some trouble.
It's not a combination
safe. It's an eye scanner.
And if he uses his eyes,
you burn 'em right out.
- I'll call your bluff.
(floorboards softly creak)
(tense music)
(hand thuds)
(both grunt)

(contemplative music)
(electronic beeps trill)
(man screams)
- Oh, fuck! Take Jay.
- No, no. I want you to take me.
- Why? No.
- Fine. I'll die.
- I think we have five
minutes to get to them.
(tires crunch)
(door opens)
(Derrick grunts)
- Something's wrong?
- I don't trust you.
(door slams)
(door opens)
Let's go.
(door slams)
(footsteps shuffle)
- One minute.
- You know, Robert,
I truly am sorry for what
I did to you and everyone.
I mean, my intentions
were scientific.
I wanted to see
what was possible,
what the mind was capable of.
If I had known this
storm was coming-
- [Derrick] Shut up!
Do it.
- Cheers.
- Okay, pull over here.
(tires crunch)
(shutter clicks)
(electronic beeps trill)
(electronic beeps trill)
(device beeps)
- Great.
- Okay, good. The
transfer's been approved.
Soon, the system will pinpoint
the address of the receiver
and transfer the money
onto Volkov's device.
(electronic beeps trill)
(tense music)
The encryption process
is behind a nearly
unbreakable firewall,
and once it's on his
device and he's air gapped,
the money's gone for good, but.
- What?
- Guess who helped design
the security system?
Me. I did, I designed
the security system.
Jesus.
(computer keys clack)
(electronic beeps trill)
(deep electronic alarm beeps)
- Who is this?
- Let's just say I'm a ghost.
(contemplative music)
- Where are you?
- Honestly, it's complicated,
time travel and whatnot.
I just wanted to
say congratulations.
Jay's all yours.
I never got your
name, by the way.
- If I can clone Derrick's
device and address,
I can hijack the transfer,
and the money's ours.
Just hope no one catches on.
- I ask again, where are you?
- Okay, fine. But first,
I have a question.
What do you want with the Z?
I mean, all this work to
track down a crazy old man.
It's just me and my friends.
We love a good plan.
(computer keys clack)
(computer beeps)
- Now we just need the system
to find me before it finds him.
- Lee, do you know
what the world's most
valuable resource is today?
It's not money.
- It's time.
- Now, it's data.
Whoever controls the
information controls everything.
People are products, Lee,
and with more information,
the more you can tell them
what to think, how to act.
We can bring people
together, Lee.
Unfortunately, Jay Tupple
seems to be the only person
who knows how to
make what I need.
Six months ago, I received
a list of subjects
that included both
you and Mr. Volkov.
Our research showed that
you were the only ones aware
of the location of Dr. Tupple.
- So why not kidnap me and cut
my fingers off or something?
- In the meantime,
we figured we might use you
to replenish our finances,
but second, Lee, as I said,
we at the organization don't
like to get our hands dirty.
- Volkov.
- He's always sending
one man jumping forward,
one man jumping back.
He never stood a chance.
- Okay, okay.
Encryption's done. It's
bridging the two accounts.
It's either gonna go to
us or them. Hopefully us.
- Now where are you?
- [Lee] Right, sorry.
Hmm. The better
question is when.
- Come on, come on.
(system beeps)
- But sure,
physically, physically,
I'm in a boat with 50
million in my bank account.
(computer beeps)
- It worked.
(laughs) It worked!
(upbeat funky music)
Fuck yeah! Fucking told
you guys it would work!
(electronic beeps trill)
(electronic beeps trill)
(phone vibrates)
- Martin, get out of there
and kill Derrick and take Jay.
The money's all yours.
(doors lock)
- Right now, you're probably
calling Martin telling him
to get Jay and the Z
and get out of there.
- Hey.
- Don't bother.
He'll be stuck in there for
the next 30 seconds or so.
- If you knew our plans,
the question is how
can you possibly know
what's happening next?
- [Lee] So you don't
think we have time
to make a fake batch?
- Not one that's any good.
(knock thuds)
- We'll figure it out. Come in.
(door opens)
(footsteps shuffle)
- Did I interrupt something?
- No.
- Do we have a plan?
Because I'm not thrilled about
being sidelined like this.
- [Lee And Finn]
We're working on it.
- How are you so sure
you could trust Simon
or Martin for that matter?
- How do we know that
we can trust you?
- You can't, but if
you don't need me,
I don't need to be here.
- Point taken.
- I have an idea.
(bright upbeat music)
- Need you guys
to jump in the van
and put these sensors
down on any roadways
that connect to here
within five miles.
If they come early, we'll know.
Martin didn't lay
down his sensors.
- Okay then.
Okay.
So they'll be here at 12:58 PM,
Derrick and three guys in masks.
Martin's in on it
like we thought.
So we're gonna need that
fake pill that you gave me.
I didn't totally hear why,
but Jay did something crazy,
and they're talking about
someone named Robert.
Lee, you get shot.
- Where?
- In the chest.
- It's gonna hurt.
- Four times.
- Did you see him die?
- No.
- Okay, so right now Lee
is both alive and dead.
Schrodinger's cat. Let's
set the odds in our favor.
Martin, tomorrow,
you'll take the Z Plus.
- They only have one pill left.
I was gonna take
it this afternoon.
(Derrick laughs)
(gunshot blasts)
- I'm not fucking around
here! Pack up the body.
I'm sure there's
some experiments they
could do if the old
man's not lying.
- [Martin] Each of Derrick's
men carry enough Z serum
with them that they
could be jumping forwards
or backwards at any moment.
(air whooshes)
(hatch door shuts)
(door slams)
- I told you, my friends
and I, we love a good plan.
See you later.
(tongue clicks)
(system beeps)
- [Derrick] I said let's go!
(leaves rustle)
- [Simon] We got him.
- Oh, shit, that was hot.
(upbeat rock music)
- No, no, no, no, no! Fuck!
You've gotta be
fucking kidding me.
God, he's got
bulletproof windows!
Hey, you piece of
shit! You're dead!
Look at me!
I got the letter
that you wrote
(Derrick laughs)
- Clever!
You know none of
this matters, right?
The organization
and I are weeks away
from turning my old supply
of Z into your fancy Z Plus!
So if you think-
I got the letter
that you wrote
- Shit! I'm gonna bury you!
Hey, listen,
babe, I'm gonna go
Hey, listen,
babe, I'm gonna go
You can't just take my love
(muffled shouting)
And run me out 100 times
I go the letter
that you wrote
I got the letter
- Nut job shit! I'm
gonna fucking bury you!
Hey, listen,
babe, I'm gonna go
Hey, listen,
babe, I'm gonna go
You can't just take my love
(Martin screams)
And run me out 100 times
(hand pats)
I got the letter
that you wrote
- Whoo!
(door opens)
(birds chirp)
(footsteps shuffle)
(Martin pants)
(air undulates)
(dark brooding music)
(man chuckles)
- [Lee] So, what's
next for you, Jay?
- Good question. I
really don't know yet.
- Well, you know they're
gonna be after you.
- Yeah, but don't
worry about me.
I'll go home, I'll
do some fishing,
and I'll wait for my next call.
("Claire de Lune")
(Jay chuckles)
- You've been using.
- How you feeling?
- Okay, just weird.
- The future that you
saw yesterday when
you jumped forward,
how close was that to what
actually happened today?
- It was pretty close, I think.
Can I ask you something?
All these like
memories and timelines,
how do you decide what's real?
- (chuckles) Look around,
figure out what you
believe is true right now,
and just commit to it.
And if you still have
questions, you can ask me.
(watch beeps)
(air whooshes)
(phone chimes)
- Son of a bitch.
- [Lee] Hey, how's it going?
Whoever this is,
leave a message.
- This is a courtesy call.
I hope you're running
because whenever we find you,
well, you and
whoever you are with
are going to wish you were dead.
- Well, we don't
need money anymore.
(Lee and Finn chuckle)
(flames crackle)
- So what's the plan?
- [Organizer] Let's see
how far those pills get you
because now they're
your only chance.
You can say goodbye to
living in the moment, Lee,
because from this moment on,
if you want to stay alive,
you'll be living
in the yesterday,
(air whooshes)
the today, and the tomorrow.
(watch beeps)
(engine hums)
- Welcome to tomorrow.
(upbeat percussive music)
(cork pops)
(group cheers)
Fortune's paved in gold
Hurry up
You kept me when you feel
like you've had enough
'Cause every night, I
close my eyes to see it
Somewhere to run
I can feel it, I can feel it
We're running out of time
It's the same old, same old
You keep saying I've
been fading away
It's the same old, same old
It's like we're staged
and stuck somewhere
With a season,
but we don't care
This is the same
old, same old
(dark brooding music)
(deep electronic alarm blares)
- Hello. I have some news.
We've had a successful test.
We believed we've
cracked the formula.
- Really?
- Yes and no.
What we've created is close.
However, whereas Z Plus
allowed trading between days,
this one appears to be stronger.
(up-tempo electronic music)
- How so?
- Sir, this isn't a
matter of hours or days.
We're talking about
weeks, months, maybe more.
We don't know.
- Excellent.
