Short filmTranscript
00:25I got that confederate deserter you wanted to see
00:29and it's going to be the last thing you see in this life, General Grant.
00:32Slavery ain't going to end with this piss-ass little war.
00:45Not changing anybody's history tonight, Stedman.
00:47Yeah, we got a nice warm prison cell waiting for you back in 2007.
00:57Everything you told me is true.
00:59Yes, sir.
01:01I sure as hell don't understand it.
01:04It's not important that you understand it.
01:07In any case, it'll all be ever soon.
01:10Killing will finally end.
01:17All right, so who's got bragging rights on this one?
01:19Two weeks of Copaoni, you already lost track of the arrest board.
01:23Lost track of this whole life?
01:24Oh, Jack, that beach at Copaoni was paradise.
01:27You know those drinks with the little skirt umbrellas?
01:29That's what the women were wearing.
01:32This war is a long way from over.
01:39Oh, you won, partner.
01:43Jack, you ever wonder how much longer we're going to be able to do this?
01:46Until we run out of bad guys.
01:48Oh, I want to be back on that beach.
01:50Let's settle for getting this grand wizard back to 2007.
01:55Beam me up, Scotty.
01:57See you on the other side, Jack.
02:16Oh, man, that was some kind of turbulence.
02:19It wasn't turbulence.
02:20Tell that to whoever's hitting my head with a titanium baseball bat.
02:23Get him a lockup.
02:25The temporal stream is clean.
02:26There's got to be something else.
02:28Something inside the sled?
02:29We don't know yet.
02:30Sled rotate.
02:31Prepare for unmanned launch.
02:33So what?
02:33Do you think there's a problem with the wave emission?
02:35Tachyon waves don't have problems, Maddox.
02:37When you're moving faster than the speed of light, the concept of a problem doesn't exist.
02:42Now, if your aim is off and you happen to hit a star from another solar system in, say, the
02:46year 1900, that's a problem.
02:49Are you saying my aim is off, Hemmings?
02:50I'm just making polite conversation, Maddox.
02:53Initiate launch sequence.
02:58I need to see your temporal control device.
03:01She takes a licking but keeps on ticking.
03:03I need a complete stress instructional analysis.
03:06The problem could be with the directional sequence.
03:08We won't know that for sure until Logan gets back.
03:11He should be entering the temporal stream any second now.
03:28We're not.
03:38We're not.
03:39Who the hell is this guy?
03:41Don't worry about it.
03:42Don't worry about it.
03:42Just aim straight.
03:44If I am where I think I am, those aren't caps.
03:46Don't worry about it.
03:48Happy Valentine's Day!
03:56The year 2007.
03:59Time travel is a reality, and it's fallen to criminal hands.
04:03With history itself at risk, the United States has formed the Time Enforcement Commission,
04:09a top-secret agency responsible for policing the temporal stream.
04:36And a team of agents track unlawful travelers across time.
04:40Their mission, protect the past, preserve the future.
04:45These agents are known as Time Cops.
04:57Somebody want to explain to me why I ended up back in 1928 Chicago?
05:01No, it was 1929, actually.
05:03Quite an interesting year.
05:04In addition to the St. Valentine's Day massacre, there was a stock market crash.
05:07Faulkner published The Sound on the Fury, and Fritz Lang directed The Woman and the Moon,
05:10which contained the very first countdown sequence.
05:12Easter!
05:13Sorry.
05:14Too much information, right?
05:18Not a scratch on you, Jack.
05:20Period obviously agrees with you.
05:22Almost got my head blown off.
05:24Reconfiguring all the re-entry systems right now.
05:26I need your controller.
05:28I also need to rule out the possibility of human error.
05:34Human error?
05:35She told me my aim was off.
05:38Hemmings, has it ever occurred to you the problem might be with your fancy technology?
05:43I've got an entire team looking for a system failure, Jack.
05:46Captain Matusik, we've got a major risk developing.
05:54Where's it coming from?
05:551990. Probability level's already at a four.
05:58Could be another glitch.
06:00I don't think so.
06:01A glitch.
06:01Everything that's gone wrong in a single hour, it's too much to be a coincidence.
06:04We're zeroing in on a point of origination.
06:06The rift appears to be originating from here.
06:11What do you mean, here?
06:12Time Enforcement Headquarters, 1990.
06:14Told you it was a glitch.
06:15TEC didn't exist in 1990.
06:17TEC didn't exist.
06:18But the prototypes for the original time slade did.
06:20They were built right here in this building.
06:22I'm looking for volunteers.
06:24Jack and I.
06:25With all due respect, I think we could locate the problem with the controllers before you access another launch.
06:29That's on a scale of one to ten, Hemmings.
06:31An event that can irrevocably change the course of history is well on its way to happen if we don't
06:35stop it.
06:35I just need a chance to shake the system down.
06:37It'll take 20 minutes.
06:38Or two hours.
06:39I think this is a mistake.
06:40You are putting two officers at risk.
06:42Hemmings, your jurisdiction is science and technology.
06:44Police matters are my jurisdiction.
06:46Police matters tend to be risky.
06:4830 seconds and counting until launch.
07:05I've got some period-specific information downloading.
07:07We've already initiated the launch sequence.
07:09If it's not already in the sublimator...
07:10We're thinking of directing a radio signal straight into their cerebral cortex.
07:14That way we...
07:14Easter!
07:1710, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
07:27And launch.
07:56That's right, people.
07:57An actual sled that actually goes back in time.
08:01Now let's get some actual work done.
08:39Hey, how'd you do that?
08:42Well, we're time cops.
08:44Traveling back from the year 2007 to stop someone from changing the course of history.
08:48Cool.
08:50Nice choice, Ace.
08:51That's the first thing that came to mind.
08:53This is something you guys should definitely not try at home, okay?
08:55Alright?
08:56We'll go for a pond.
08:59You know they're gonna tell every kid in their neighborhood.
09:01Which gives us about two minutes to find TEC headquarters.
09:04Yeah, and just enough time to place a bet on the 96 World Series.
09:07The Yanks one, you know.
09:08Those kind of ideas are gonna get you into trouble, Tommy.
09:10Trouble, me?
09:11Yeah.
09:18Well, I did a hell of a job making this place look abandoned.
09:21I'm not so sure it's a tension.
09:29Found it!
09:32Well, these must be the trip switches for the alarms.
09:36And these...
09:38must be the lights.
09:43After you.
09:51Matuszak never said anything about this place being closed.
09:54You sure we're in the right year?
09:57Yeah, 1990.
10:00Hey, Jack.
10:02Look at this.
10:07What do we got?
10:08The problem with the directional appears to be related to a piece of faulty software.
10:13How come it hasn't happened before?
10:15I don't know.
10:17At least that's an answer I can understand.
10:19Easter.
10:20I found an anomaly in the general data bank for 1990.
10:23I know it couldn't last.
10:24English, Easter, English?
10:27Oh, you were right when you said the original time slide was tested in this building.
10:31However, for most of 1990, TEC headquarters was completely shut down.
10:34Congress was threatening to stop the entire project.
10:36So what?
10:37Logan and Maddox are investigating an empty building?
10:41Not exactly.
10:49Oh, look at this.
10:52Rocket powered thrusters.
10:54How'd they ever get into hyperdrive?
10:57Sometimes they didn't.
11:02You're saying that wall got to work out.
11:04Since 1990.
11:07Attack on propulsion wasn't a reality until 2001.
11:10So how many of these test flights were manned?
11:14No idea.
11:16But after 98, it was illegal to use monkeys.
11:21I gotta check this baby out.
11:27What are you doing?
11:27Oh, man.
11:29They didn't even have holographic monitors on these things.
11:32Tommy.
11:36March sequence is initiated.
11:42What the hell'd you do?
11:43Uh, I didn't do anything.
11:47You started the countdown sequence.
11:49Jack, I swear.
11:50I didn't touch anything.
11:51Get out of here.
11:52That's Lexibati blasted into oblivion.
11:55I can't.
11:56Something seems to be holding me in.
11:58Get out of here, Jack.
11:59Damn it, Jack!
12:04No!
12:19None of the terminals was powered up.
12:22Not a one.
12:23What about the backup systems in the platform module?
12:27Nothing worked until Tommy powered up that sled.
12:29Okay.
12:30Now, why couldn't Maddox get out of the sled?
12:33I told you there was some kind of gravitational force holding him in.
12:36And you felt it yourself?
12:37Yeah, I felt it.
12:38It almost drove me through that wall.
12:40Look, Logan, I'm sorry about your part.
12:41Why weren't we properly briefed about that place?
12:44The original time sled project was shut down because of a series of accidents in 1990.
12:48We didn't know that when you, uh...
12:51I was downloading information from that period when you took off.
12:54Maddox gets blasted into oblivion because we don't have the right information?
12:57No.
12:58Maddox got blasted because he was screwing around.
13:00He wasn't supposed to get in that sled.
13:02Everything was a game to him.
13:05Look, Jack.
13:07I'm sorry.
13:08He was a good man.
13:09Don't talk about him as if you were dead.
13:11He might be out there somewhere.
13:13I found the problem in the temporal controllers.
13:16It's the main microprocessing chip in Logan and Maddox's controllers.
13:20They're both damaged?
13:22It's the chip itself.
13:23It's defective.
13:24Somebody's trying to sabotage us?
13:26I didn't say that.
13:27I'm just saying that the chip is defective.
13:29Okay.
13:29That leaves us two options.
13:31Either Deckard Electronics who supplies the damn thing screwed up.
13:35Or somebody else is trying to sabotage us.
13:38Somebody with access to the TEC.
13:41Boot up the security silhouette.
13:43I want full coverage.
13:46Where are you going?
13:47The microchip contract for this project is worth about six billion dollars.
13:51So whoever lost the contract?
13:53Cromwell Technology.
13:54As of now, they're official suspect number one.
13:58I'm coming with.
14:01Cybernetics is not making us less human.
14:04By freeing us from the boring mundane tasks in our lives.
14:08Cybernetics allows us to reach a potential we would otherwise never even dream of.
14:13At Cromwell Technology, we would like to help you realize that human potential.
14:19So this is new age, huh?
14:21We would like to help you.
14:22Looks a little too new for me.
14:25Our microprocessors are here to serve as you.
14:28How about these guys?
14:29Did they bring back the good old days?
14:32They looked like they could have worked for Don King.
14:35They probably did.
14:45Forgive the informality, gentlemen.
14:47But I was in the middle of my yoga session.
14:49We appreciate you taking the time to see us, Mr. Cromwell.
14:52I had no other choice.
14:53There's a reason for the secrecy.
14:55I understand.
14:56If the public found out that time travel was a reality, it would cause cultural shockwaves.
15:01Mr. Cromwell, do you know what a temporal controlling device is?
15:04Of course I know what it is.
15:06I lost a six billion dollar contract to supply microchips for them.
15:10It's a Deckard software.
15:11That's right.
15:12We had a major screw up with two of our controllers today.
15:15We think the microchip is to blame.
15:17That doesn't surprise me.
15:18Deckard makes an inferior product.
15:19You should have gone with me when you had the chance.
15:21We don't know if it's Deckard's chip.
15:23Might be some kind of corporate sabotage.
15:26You wouldn't know anything about that.
15:28Would you?
15:30That thinly veiled insinuation does not sit well with me.
15:34You said yourself.
15:36The contract's worth six billion dollars.
15:38I already have six billion dollars.
15:41And unlike Deckard, I have spiritual contentment.
15:44I spend four hours every day meditating and practicing yoga.
15:48Mr. Cromwell, I lost one of my best men today, alright?
15:51What do you mean lost?
15:52Lost? As in can't be found?
15:55My partner Maddox is lost.
16:01Did you know Maddox?
16:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
16:07You were talking about a technical problem.
16:10The possibility that you might have lost one of your people is...
16:15upsetting.
16:17Yeah.
16:19You look all broken up.
16:22I don't think that venting at me is going to bring your friend back, Officer Logan.
16:30Thank you for your time, Mr. Cromwell.
16:33Well, time is relative.
16:35But then, of course, who would know that better than you?
16:41Don't be so sure that Deckard isn't responsible for this.
16:45He's not infallible, you know.
16:47His quality control sucks.
16:55Tap in.
16:56Boot up.
16:59Dream on.
17:05Cromwell says dirty as a plutonium reclamation center.
17:08Colorful phrasing, Jack.
17:10Useless, but colorful.
17:11We've got another ripple.
17:13It's coming from a brokerage house about ten miles away from TEC headquarters.
17:17Same day, same year.
17:18Ten million dollars has mysteriously appeared in an account that never existed before.
17:23I gotta get back there.
17:24We can't authorize another launch right now.
17:26We are still running diagnostics on the equipment.
17:28For all we know-
17:29What's this we, Hemmings?
17:30I'm just saying that-
17:31Captain Matusik, prop building levels reached to six.
17:35Looks like you're up.
17:36If you're gonna allow Jack to go back, I think I should be able to go back with him.
17:39Hemmings.
17:40I am qualified to deal with any problems a faulty controller might have.
17:43Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out.
17:45You're not seriously gonna let her go-
17:47Easter, I'm getting real tired of being second-guessed.
17:55Logan.
17:57Hemmings is going with you. She's in charge of the scientific part of your investigation.
18:01Not a problem.
18:03All right, people, we're wasting time. Let's get ready to transport two people.
18:28I am having serious trouble trying to find my center.
18:34What's wrong?
18:35What's wrong is that somebody is back in 1990 buying up my company.
18:43That's bad, huh?
18:45Bad? Were you spawned by a salmon? Bad doesn't describe it!
18:52Okay.
18:55We're just going to have to go back to 1990 and straighten this out.
19:00You can do that?
19:03I have six billion dollars.
19:06I can do anything I want.
19:25Well, that wasn't so bad.
19:28I don't know why you time cops make such a big deal about these landings.
19:34What?
19:42Wow, look at this.
19:44It's the same but totally different.
19:47You're not in Kansas anymore.
19:49Texas. I grew up in Abilene, Texas.
19:52What are you doing in Abilene right about now?
19:54Oh, wondering if I'll ever get to New York.
19:57And counting the days until I get my braces off.
20:03What?
20:05Just trying to imagine you with braces.
20:08Yeah.
20:09I was a picture.
20:21I, uh, better see if I can power up one of these terminals.
20:25I think that's a good idea.
20:30Ah, they still had male and female connectors.
20:33Cute.
20:36Launch sequence initiated.
20:40Logan!
20:43Hey!
20:44Didn't Matusak tell you to stay away from the sled?
20:46These are the same coordinates that were locked down before Tommy disappeared.
20:49He didn't just disappear, Logan.
20:51He was likely splattered into a void in the space-time continuum.
20:54When did dematerialize become splattered?
20:56Logan, this is rocket-powered.
20:58This part of the project was shut down because these sleds couldn't access the temporal stream with any consistency.
21:03Got through the wall on these coordinates.
21:05Logan, you don't...
21:06This sled will take me where he went. I can find him.
21:08And suppose it does. How do you get back?
21:10I haven't worked that out yet.
21:12Yeah.
21:12Get off the platform, Hemmings.
21:14Logan, this is insane.
21:17You're right.
21:17Eight.
21:18Get off the platform.
21:19Seven.
21:20Six.
21:22Five.
21:23Four.
21:24Damn it, Logan.
21:25You're gonna get yourself killed.
21:27One.
21:35Damn.
21:36There's a difference of about 15 generations.
21:39Come on, come on.
21:40How am I supposed to track Logan's coordinates if I can't even interface this stupid computer?
21:57Logan?
21:58How long have I been gone?
22:00Logan, you are nuts.
22:01How long, Hemmings?
22:02Not that long. About 15 minutes. What the hell is going on?
22:05Some kind of loop in the temporal stream.
22:08Just like getting caught in a whirlwind. Next thing I know, I'm back here.
22:11So the sled didn't dematerialize at the end of the run?
22:15You didn't step out into another time period?
22:17No.
22:18Well, then it must have been programmed to go into a time loop.
22:23Tommy's still alive.
22:24Yeah, well, if he is, he has a hell of a lot of explaining to do.
22:28Ever stop to think this might be part of some elaborate setup?
22:32I rule out nothing.
22:33What say we visit that brokerage house, chase down that 10 million?
22:37If you're waiting on me, you're backing up.
22:44Captain.
22:46Cromwell and two of his bodyguards have disappeared.
22:49I ordered Remiclock surveillance on those clowns.
22:52We were on them.
22:52We even ran an infrared scan.
22:54Just like they vanished into thin air.
22:57Yeah.
22:58We're into a temporal stream.
23:01How we doing?
23:02Not good.
23:03Probability level's at eight.
23:04Cromwell's got something to do with this.
23:06Yeah, I'm not so sure.
23:09Whoever's doing this is buying up stock in Cromwell's company.
23:13Come again?
23:1317 years ago, he was a boy genius starting his own company.
23:161990 was the first year his stock went public.
23:20I think we should notify the oversight committee.
23:22No.
23:23This could be a major economic catastrophe if history itself has changed.
23:26Exactly.
23:27How do you prepare for something like that?
23:30As long as Logan and Hemmings are out there, we've still got a chance.
23:41Right this way.
23:42Mr. Dumont will see you now.
23:47Hey, hey, hey.
23:49David Dumont.
23:50Jack Logan, TEC.
23:51This is Officer Hemmings.
23:53TEC?
23:53You're familiar with the SEC?
23:55Sure.
23:56We're a lot tougher.
23:58Mind if we ask you a couple questions?
24:00Hey.
24:01Fire away.
24:02Always want to cooperate with the authorities.
24:04Well, let's just see.
24:07Hey, look.
24:08We run a very tight ship here, okay?
24:10I mean, we don't even sell junk bonds.
24:12You recently opened up a new brokerage account with a cash deposit of $10 million.
24:16Is that a crime?
24:18Well, that depends on where the money came from and what it's being used to buy.
24:21Well, it was being used to buy Cromwell technology, which I happen to be extremely bullish on.
24:29Cromwell?
24:30Yeah, you probably never heard of it.
24:32The initial offering was just a few weeks ago, but believe me, this stuff is going to make Microsoft look
24:36like a widow's and orphan's fund.
24:39And I suppose the money was wired in from some offshore account?
24:45Maybe I should bring my boss in on this.
24:47Yeah, maybe you should.
24:48I mean, why take the fall alone?
24:51I'll, um...
24:51I'll be right back.
24:57Very good for a girl from Abilene.
24:59That's a compliment?
25:09The money was transferred in on a signature account.
25:13What's the name on the screen?
25:14Williams.
25:15Bernie Williams.
25:17Yankee outfielder.
25:19Hit a home run in the 96 World Series.
25:21You know this guy?
25:22No.
25:23Is there an address?
25:26It's a suite at the Beaumont Hotel.
25:28The Beaumont that still exists on Jefferson Street?
25:31That's the one.
25:32We're out of here.
25:35Indications of fate and neurosis leading to dangerous, often self-destructive behavior has problems with authority.
25:41This guy shouldn't have been a time cop. He should have been a bodyguard for Genghis Khan.
25:45Hey.
25:47What are you doing in here?
25:48Oh, there's a problem with the ancillary circuits in the library. It's blowing white noise through all the machines.
25:52I found something very interesting here.
25:54Hopefully it'll be interesting to both of us.
25:56Well, I've been going through the psychiatric profiles of all our time cops.
25:59That include your own?
26:02Ah, not being a field agent, I'm exempt from that otherwise mandatory requirement.
26:05Ah, which means you have to pay for your own shrink.
26:08Fortunately, it doesn't take a huge bite out of my salary.
26:11But it would have for Tommy Maddox.
26:13Maddox?
26:14Hey, I don't know if you're aware of this, but Maddox's latest temporal stress analysis revealed something very alarming.
26:20He was a classic case of fate and neurosis.
26:22The test is still highly controversial, and Maddox is definitely not a neurotic.
26:25You want a neurotic? You want a neurotic? Look at my ex. Look in the mirror.
26:29Now, fate and neurosis is a psychological dysfunction that causes people to constantly put themselves in situations of great personal
26:36risk.
26:36Why would anyone do that?
26:37People do it all the time. Race car drivers, mountain climbers.
26:40Maddox wasn't into any of that stuff. He was into baseball.
26:43Yeah, well, I'm not talking strictly about athletes. I'm talking about a type of personality.
26:47People who need to live on the edge in order to really feel alive.
26:51It's been thought that the lack of a certain brain chemical causes them to take greater and greater risks.
26:55Easter, this sounds like a lot of psychobabble, and it definitely doesn't make Tommy Maddox a criminal.
26:59The results of a psychiatric evaluation indicate that he might be.
27:04Indicate?
27:04Well, look, you've got to agree there's at least a possibility that Maddox is the one who stole Cromwell's stock.
27:08One, I don't like shrinks. Two, I like people who believe in them even less.
27:13We're talking about a guy that I trained as a rookie. He was as good as they come.
27:17Until he left.
27:17That wasn't his fault. It was a defect.
27:19That's right. There was a defect. That is precisely my point.
27:50I think the defect was in Maddox's personality, not in the chip.
27:52The Beaumont rings a bell, doesn't it? Have you stayed there? Some forgotten romance?
27:58TC used to put up potential recruits at the Beaumont.
28:00Ooh, the plot thickens. The romance was a female non-cop.
28:04It wasn't a romance, Hemmings. It's where I met Tommy.
28:07You were part of the first recruiting class that stayed there.
28:10Somehow I see Tommy fitting in more at the Beaumont than you.
28:14Yeah, he was in heaven.
28:16Two with lots of caffeine.
28:21Yeah, Tommy was in heaven.
28:23VIP treatment in one of the top hotels in D.C.
28:25Round-the-clock room service.
28:29You've got to understand.
28:30He was a small-town cop. Came here on a lark.
28:33Figured he had no chance in hell of making the TC.
28:36He must have been surprised when he got the nod.
28:40Especially since he charged over two grand in room service.
28:43Oh, I can't imagine Matusak's reaction.
28:46I didn't have to.
28:47Tommy got into the hotel computer and switched the charges to my room.
28:51And you two actually became friends after that?
28:54Yeah.
28:55To tell you the truth, I kind of admired his resourcefulness.
28:57Yeah, his resourcefulness sounds like it borders on the criminal.
29:00Hey, I'll be the first to admit that Tommy screws up on a regular basis.
29:05When it comes to the job, he's always the first one through the door.
29:08I hope you understand that.
29:09Yeah.
29:10I think so.
29:12He's a great partner.
29:15He's always there to watch my back.
29:17You trust him?
29:19With money? Never.
29:22With my life?
29:25Absolutely.
29:26You know, I know you don't want to hear this, but somebody has programmed that sled to go into a
29:30time loop, and I think that same somebody is buying up Cromwell stock.
29:36I know.
29:38What are you doing?
29:39Trying to get to the bottom of a stock transaction that took place in 1990.
29:43I thought you said we could only narrow this down so far.
29:46The probability level's at eight.
30:16All right.
30:18I live in an information age.
30:21A single piece of paper is more powerful than ever.
30:23What are you looking for?
30:24Maybe I can help you out.
30:25All right.
30:26Everything from 1990 on.
30:28Anything over a million dollars.
30:30Anything between February and April.
30:32Okay, we'll get it.
30:41You okay?
30:43Yeah.
30:45We go to who and where the case takes us, right?
30:48I know the job.
30:51Well, no one seems to be home.
31:10Don't ask.
31:23A little cold for my taste.
31:28Here's something.
31:33This is Bernie Williams' signature along with the rest of the 96 New York Yankees.
31:43The Yankees were Tommy's favorite team.
31:45So what, this is some kind of message to you?
31:47It's a message I'm not sure I want to get.
31:52We got a company.
32:02Those are Cromwell security people.
32:08Let's get out of here before you use that thing on us.
32:28Nice to see you again, Mr. Logan.
32:33Logan?
32:36You okay?
32:37Yeah.
32:37I think so.
32:39My teeth are twitching, but otherwise...
32:41We got hit with a lot of volts.
32:43Actually, it's only one eighth of what this baby is capable of.
32:46But I'm a man who abhors violence.
32:48So I kept the voltage low.
32:49Yeah, you're a real prince.
32:51Since I don't see you as Mother Teresa, I gotta figure you left us alive for a reason.
32:58I want your friend Maddox, and I want my stock.
33:01Well, you lost me, pal.
33:04You know, I believe I have.
33:06Let me bring you up to speed.
33:08I paid Maddox $10 million to sabotage some of your time controllers with defective chips.
33:15Now, why, you may ask?
33:17Because Deckard's contract is up for renewal and you just can't stand him having a contract that should be yours.
33:22You know, there comes a time in a man's life when he realizes that $6 billion just isn't enough.
33:28In any case, things were going along swimmingly until Maddox decided to get entrepreneurial.
33:34He took the $10 million, came back here to 1990, and bought up my stock at dirt cheap prices.
33:39The net result of this move is that in 2007, I suddenly have a majority partner.
33:44A partner I don't want.
33:46You're breaking my heart.
33:50Save me the brave front in the face of death moment, Mr. Logan.
33:53And tell me where Maddox is.
33:56I don't know.
34:04What?
34:07I still don't know.
34:10Okay.
34:11You're a heroic sort of guy, trained to withstand the worst sort of physical pressure, take your secrets to the
34:15grave, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
34:20I'm not going to ask again.
34:24Gee, Cromwell, if it means that much to you, I'm right here.
34:27Sorry, Jack, I was hoping things would be a little, um, simpler.
34:31That's because you're a simpleton.
34:32Now, where's my stock?
34:34Sticks and stones.
34:35Looks to me like we've got a little Mexican stand-up.
34:45Maybe watching her die will help motivate you.
34:48What'd you inject her with?
34:50Synthetic virus.
34:52A very aggressive little strain.
34:54It'll take about a half an hour to get to her heart.
34:57And when that happens, she'll be dead.
34:59I believe him, Jack.
35:01So do I.
35:03Tommy.
35:07You give me the stock certificates, and I'll give you the antidote to save her.
35:11I've got them hidden.
35:12Beautiful.
35:12Then we can all find them together.
35:14No.
35:15I'll meet you at the TEC.
35:16I trust you about as much as you trust me, Cromwell.
35:19Jack, I know you trust Maddox with your life, but since this is my life, could you go with him?
35:28What the hell were you thinking, Tommy?
35:30I was thinking I'd take this psychopath down, you know, burn him with his own cash.
35:33Oh, so you're the good guy in all this.
35:35All right, I get rich in the process, but I figured, where's the harm? Who would get hurt?
35:38Who'd get hurt?
35:39Why don't you ask Hemmings?
35:44I'm sorry about that, Jack. I really am.
35:46Sorry isn't enough, Tommy. Not this time.
35:54You wanna know the truth, Jack?
35:57I just got tired. Tired of being shot at in the past.
36:01I would think if I died in 1865 or 1902, who would know me? Would anybody care?
36:07That's the job. I know that, but I want it out.
36:09And I want it out with more than a gold-plated time controller and a pat on the back for
36:12a job well done.
36:14I made a mistake, so kill me.
36:17The thought has crossed my mind.
36:21Well, let's save Hemmings first, huh?
36:28Where to, fellas?
36:32Easter's Library.
36:33What will become Easter's Library?
36:36Since I was leaving a paper trail, what better place to hide the most important papers?
36:40You're a real genius, Tommy.
36:41Wait till I tell you what I plan to do with the dividends.
36:43Just show me the money, okay?
36:44I'm more concerned about that virus in Hemmings' bloodstream than I am about your daydreams.
36:48Okay, okay, just making conversation, trying to take the edge off a stressful situation.
36:51Tommy!
36:52I'm on it.
37:07There you go.
37:12So this is what ten million dollars in stock certificates looks like?
37:15Uh, no.
37:16Back in 2007, that's what nearly ten billion dollars looks like.
37:20That's what Cromo's company is worth.
37:22And those certificates give whoever owns them controlling power.
37:27I won't tolerate another double-cross, Tommy.
37:29You better know that.
37:30We're here to save Hemmings.
37:32And I've got just the stuff.
37:44There.
37:46I'll be awaiting your signal, Chief.
37:49And you'll get it as soon as I know Hemmings is safe.
37:54You ready for one last ride into the sunset?
37:57Just like Butch and Sundance.
37:59Let's just hope the ending's different.
38:07Feeling poorly?
38:09Well, if your friends don't show up in three minutes, you won't be feeling anything.
38:16Ever again.
38:21Gentlemen.
38:23Well?
38:24You first.
38:26Oh, no, no. By all means.
38:28After you. I insist.
38:30Oh, well. If you insist.
38:32Yeah.
38:46Okay.
38:47Oh, well.
38:55No needny.
38:56No needny.
39:00No needny.
39:00Before you.
39:01Anybody's even unit.
39:01a trip.
39:02Hang on, we're almost there.
39:13Thank you, Tommy.
39:22You're gonna be okay.
39:26You know what I've been doing while I've been back here?
39:28You mean besides stealing my company?
39:30I've been learning magic.
39:46You see, Jack?
39:48This is the kind of stuff I was talking about.
39:51Is it bad?
39:52Well, no, but it could have been.
39:54Where's Cromwell?
40:06Rough day.
40:08Tell me about it.
40:21It's like a maze down in those tunnels. I couldn't find him.
40:23It's all right.
40:24He's gotta show his face again sometime.
40:26And when he does, I just know you'll be waiting.
40:29You know, there's gotta be an old first aid kid around here somewhere.
40:35Ready to get out of here?
40:37You know, your buddy's not a bad guy.
40:41No, he just did a bad thing.
40:44Large sequence initiated.
40:48You gotta disengage that thing.
40:50Where you going, Tommy?
40:54I'm going to my beach, Jack.
40:57I'm gonna lie in the sun.
40:58You can figure out what year.
41:00Join me.
41:01I can't let you go, you know that.
41:05I can't let you take me in, Jack.
41:08I'd rather have you shoot me than spend the rest of my life in a cage.
41:11Now I'm getting on that sled, Jack.
41:15You do what you gotta do.
41:24Better!
41:25You owe me eight billion dollars!
41:30That's right.
41:32Tommy.
41:33Get out.
41:35I'll see you on the other side, partner.
41:38And I'll see you in hell!
42:00See you on the other side, Tommy.
42:08Stock certificates were destroyed?
42:09Up in smoke.
42:11And, uh, just for the record, mind you, Tommy and Cromwell are dead?
42:17Well, technically, given the volatility of the rocket's lead, Maddox could be caught in a type of alternate units.
42:22Fine.
42:23Cromwell's dead.
42:24We type in missing in action from Atlas.
42:27It's you, Hemmings.
42:28First mission, your first mission report.
42:41I, uh, know it's tough, and being your partner and all.
42:46Yeah.
42:50It's a powerful thing, money.
42:53It wasn't the money.
42:59It wasn't the money.
43:02Same coin.
43:03Thank God.
43:05Thank God.
43:06No one.
43:06Two Wellings and Force on all!
43:07Yes, you have your own band like this.
