Forget what we saw.
We're here, and
I don't want to waste any more time.
I've been keeping a secret from you.
Keiko she's in Los Angeles.
Keiko Arahida.
Your
mom has posted your bail.
This ring is a quantum
entanglement device.
This little thing prevents
people from blacking out?
- Hellinger wants to help you.
- Who's Hellinger?
- Hellinger's our boss.
- You're going to die,
but your daughter's gonna be better
off when you're gone.
They had me install a piece of software.
I can find out who made
it and where it came from.
You get me into N.
L.
A.
P.
I'll
tell you who caused the blackout.
Janis, this guy has been
lying to us about everything.
And now you want to take him to N.
L.
A.
P.
?
How the hell do you trust this guy?
Her heart has stopped beating.
She's gone.
No, no!
You do the math.
You're both
part of the equation, both of you.
I cannot be in that
house with you tonight.
At 10:00 p.
m.
, you have to here with me.
(Mark) On April 29th,
I'm gonna be on a bender.
So why not start now?
Today's the day daddy's a die.
(Keys jangling, cell
door closes in distance)
(Man speaking indistinctly over P.
A.
)
(Fireworks exploding in distance)
Why are we stopping, mom?
'Cause we're just gonna
sit here for a while.
- Okay.
Oh, wow, look! That one's shaped a star.
- Yeah.
Oh, look at that, mom.
(Olivia) Yeah.
(Keys jangle)
(Man) Flight number 37
(Both speaking Japanese)
I'm looking for a Keiko Arahida.
I believe she's being held here.
Was.
She was released an hour ago.
Um
did did she say where she was going?
Not in English.
Well, do you have a phone number for her?
Um, uh, there's gotta be some
sort of intake file, right?
You got a warrant, officer?
Listen, this Keiko I've never met her.
But I saw her in my flash-forward.
I I started drawing her.
I have
She was wearing this
t-shirt of a Sushi restaurant
just outside of Tokyo.
So I flew to Japan.
I flew to Japan because of a t-shirt.
But I didn't find her.
I didn't find her,
and I thought that was my only shot.
I know that she's here in L.
A.
,
and now maybe you have a phone number.
She changed my life
just because I saw her.
That was really your flash-forward?
Yeah.
It was.
That's amazing.
(Lowers voice) Because
in my flash-forward
(Whispering) I had $100 in my pocket,
and I couldn't figure out for
the life of me how it got there.
(Aaron) This isn't right.
I saw her alive.
So did you.
I saw her.
Okay.
A pulse?
Yes.
Very faint.
Stay with me, Trace.
I'm begging you.
Stay strong.
Okay.
Stay with me, Tracy.
Stay with me.
Just live, and we'll wind up
where we're supposed to be.
That's it
the la Honda access point.
This is mile 6 of the
accelerator's 10-mile length.
We get in there, I can
get to the mainframe,
find the software Hellinger's
men had me install,
and use it to destroy them.
You'll use it to help us identify them.
Right.
That's the deal.
One of us needs to get this device
close to the security
guard's access card.
(Beeps)
Then it'll transmit its
code to my cell phone.
Okay.
We'll just get the rig
close to the security guard
that we're trying to completely avoid.
That sounds simple.
Good stuff, Simon.
This is gonna get us inside the gate.
This is gonna get us inside everything.
I know you don't trust him.
I trust you.
If you're here, I'm here.
- Ohh.
- What's the matter? What's going on?
I don't know.
Something's not right.
- I think I did it back in my apartment.
- Okay, we're going to the hospital.
No, no.
We have to do this tonight.
We're not gonna get a
second chance.
Janis.
The FBI's not gonna let
him near that machine.
Catching whoever is behind the blackout
is more important than anything else.
You need to do this.
Please.
Do it for me.
Stan
don't tell me I won't regret doing this.
I already do.
Let's go.
Your snapping on Hellinger like that
I take some responsibility.
I let it happen.
What the hell are you talking about?
We were so focused on finding
when the next blackout is,
I haven't seen what's
been going on with you.
Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you
about your priorities lately.
Wedeck.
Sir, we've found two
bombs in the FBI with timers.
- There are probably more.
- Call in the bomb squad.
I'm on my way.
Guess you're coming with me.
(Tires screech)
(Tires screech, horn honks)
Hands on the wheel.
Hands on the wheel.
Get out of the car slow.
Slow!
I need help!
Ma'am, what are you doing here? (Beeping)
(Whispers) What's taking so long?
(Whisper well, she has
to get the reader closer.
(Strained voice) Trying to find
Pacific State Hospital on Old la Honda.
Ma'am? Ma'am?
Ma'am? (Beep)
(Guard grunts) (Beep, door buzzes)
- (Simon, whispering) Come on!
- (Demetri, whispering) Wait.
That looked real.
She was hurting.
I need an ambulance at
la Honda access point.
- He's getting her to a hospital.
Come on.
- La Honda access point.
(Charlie) We should be
home now.
It's almost 10:00.
Mm-hmm.
Well, we're not.
So then things can change?
Mm-hmm.
Dylan!
What are you doing?
Hi, Charlie.
Uh, sweetie, why don't
you take Dylan to the car
and go get him a juice box?
Okay.
Come on, Dylan.
- How did you find us?
- Uh, well, actually, um,
my people called your people.
The bodyguards?
In my flash-forward, I
think I was on the verge
of of figuring out
something really crucial,
but I think for that to happen,
I have to be at your house.
I have to recreate those conditions.
Tell you what why
don't you let yourself in?
And then you recreate all
the conditions you want.
Listen to me.
Listen.
You're part of it you and Charlie.
It's like Gabriel said.
You're part of the puzzle.
- How, exactly?
- I don't know.
I just know that you are.
This is bigger than you and me.
We can't stop it.
I've tried.
- Mark pushed me away to save the world
- No, I can't push you away.
Don't you understand?
I can't do this alone.
Maybe you should.
You're part of the equation,
and I cannot do it without you.
(Cell phone beeps)
What, uh, what are you doing here?
Did you find her?
They just released her.
I got a contact number for her.
It's, um (Beep)
It's the restaurant where I saw her
in my flash-forward.
Turns out it's in L.
A.
It's all coming true for you.
Look, Bryce, I I
I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
You know, she flew all the
way across the Pacific Ocean
just to meet you, and I
- I tried to keep you apart.
- No, I'm sorry.
This whole thing is my fault.
I'm sorry.
I've been ignoring the truth,
the feelings that I had.
I know it sounds crazy,
but I love her.
This whole thing with her was meant to be.
I mean, I put these on this
morning without a second thought.
It wasn't until half an
hour ago that I realized
this is what I was wearing
in my flash-forward.
- I gotta go.
- Yeah.
You should go.
(Woman) All liquids, gels and aerosols
must be in 3-ounce or smaller containers.
(Speaking foreign language)
(Speaking Japanese)
Uhh!
(Speaking Japanese)
(Speaking in Japanese)
(Siren whoops)
(Brakes squeal)
(Helicopter whirring)
(Mark) No, no, no, no,
no.
Hear me out.
Wait.
Hear me out.
Whoever
put those bombs in there
is targeting something specific.
So we need to figure out what.
So help me, Mark, all the
glorious choirs of heaven,
if you step out of this car, I
will have your head on a plate.
I'm gonna send over a driver.
Stay in the car.
(Man speaking indistinctly)
You need a friend, so I
tracked him down for you.
(Beep, phone ringing)
Someone to keep you
company while you wait.
(Ring)
- (Ring, beep) Hello?
- Aaron, it's Mark.
Where the hell are you?
Listen, I'm okay, but I talked to Wedeck,
and I need to know
what's going on with you.
I don't know.
I just kind of lost it.
And then
and then I started to drink.
You know
sometimes what happens in
the world makes us forget
it's all up to us.
We have choices
you, me
Tracy.
You choose what's next, and you'll wind up
right where you're supposed to be.
Take care of yourself, Mark.
Okay.
(Man shouting indistinctly, siren wailing)
Agent Benford.
Been celebrating?
A little.
Had to get back to the office, though.
Loose ends.
There's nothing to see up there, Mark.
It's a fool's errand.
Last time I listened to you,
I took my eyes off the prize.
Not gonna happen again.
I have to go.
Got a little errand to run.
I have a new goldfish named Sadie.
- Can I see it?
- Come on.
It's upstairs.
- I want cookies after.
- Dylan, that's not how we ask.
(Olivia) It's okay.
Mi casa es su casa.
- That means my house is your house, too.
- It's my house, too.
Come on.
So
so
Uh, 9:33.
Yeah.
Uh
okay.
I think I'd better get to work.
All right.
So how how does this work?
We just take our positions at 10:00,
wait for your breakthrough?
Yeah, I think I'll keep
my shirt on this time.
Okay.
(Whirring)
(Beep)
(Door whooshes)
(Beep) What the hell?
- I don't know what happened.
- Open this door.
- I don't know what happened.
- Wait, let me just now, Simon!
- I don't know what happened.
- I knew you'd try to pull something,
you sociopathic, lying son
You're welcome.
Come on in.
Your friend asked you to trust me.
Janis wanted me to help
you.
I do not trust you.
This is the last piece
of leverage I have left.
And now you have it.
Let's get to work.
Shall we?
(Helicopter whirring)
(Man) Confirming devices on
floors five, six and ten, over.
(Vogel) You got a det time?
Affirmative.
36 minutes and counting.
Copy that.
What's the update?
Bombs, Mark.
We've located
them on at least five floors.
This is bigger than Hellinger.
Yeah.
He's just a link in the chain.
They're coming after Mosaic.
Are you about to do what
I think you're about to do?
Your chances of making it
out of there are not good.
I need you to do something for me.
If they're coming after Mosaic,
Lloyd Simcoe is not safe, either.
Now I've got this covered.
I'll secure Simcoe.
- You can find him at
- Your house.
It's what I saw.
It's
it's where I'm going, right?
Right.
Lock it down.
You should know I also saw myself
telling another Agent you were dead.
Lloyd Simcoe's key.
We need him alive.
Same goes for you.
I'll keep that in mind.
Mom, come here!
My God.
He got into your lipstick
and just started writing.
It's the formula in my flash-forward.
This is what I saw.
How is that possible?
I always assumed I'd written it.
I guess Dylan must have
memorized it this afternoon.
Is he in trouble?
No.
Can we get cookies now?
Sure.
Uh, Charlie, why don't
you take Dylan downstairs
and show him where they are?
I will, but he already knows.
Come on, Dylan.
So what is this? What does it mean?
This equation somehow links the Q.
E.
D.
,
the blueprints and the
flash-forward all together.
But it's a math problem, right?
How would it possibly tie
all those things together?
It's the tachyon constant.
It's the greatest mystery
in all of quantum physics.
And I have to solve it
right now.
(Man) Evacuate the entire building!
Clear, blue team! Clear!
(Woman) I've been waiting for you.
I'm really happy to see you.
Everything's gonna be okay.
That's what we saw, right?
I haven't felt her move in three hours.
We're gonna get you an ultrasound.
- Ready.
- Okay.
He's where?
He's in the building with the bombs
where I left my car keys.
We've got 23 minutes
until the building goes.
We've gotta get Benford.
The answers will come.
You sound so certain.
At 10:00 p.
m.
, the answers will come
because they will.
It's not about equations.
It's not about the two of us
just physically being here.
It's about this moment
right here.
I've fought it and resisted it,
and yet here it is.
It happened.
The future happened.
All of it?
(Gunfire)
- Somebody means business.
- Yeah, you got that right.
You want up or down?
Down.
Go for it.
I got you covered.
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
I'm sorry.
You can't come in.
Please, please.
I'm I'm
supposed to meet a woman here.
I learned Japanese.
(Speaking Japanese)
(Speaking Japanese)
Private party
Please ah! Keiko (Speaking Japanese)
Thank you.
(Horns honking)
Try a different street, please.
When I can get to one.
I mean, the traffic's nuts.
Okay.
I need to go.
Thank you.
(Horn honks)
(Tires screech)
(Cheering)
(Man) All right, everybody.
It's almost 10:00.
Five more minutes till
we catch up to our future!
You installed the software.
Now you can't find the file?
I'm just not seeing it yet.
- Beer?
- Beer?
(Door squeaks) Helps me cogitate.
You know, Janis is gonna be okay.
How do you know?
- She saw it in her flash-forward.
-
All right, let's get going.
Someone could walk in here any second.
(Demetri) It's almost 10:00.
(Beep)
(Typing)
I'm supposed to send Lloyd a text.
What is that, math?
(Beeps) It's an equation for
a damped 1-dimensional wave.
It was Lloyd's e-mail
signature for years (Beeps)
A damped wave.
He used to call it
his "tearful good-bye.
"
That's cute.
Is that physics humor?
Well, I'm supposed to send him something.
He saw it.
An inside joke for an inside joke.
(Beeping)
(Beep)
(Typing)
(Man) Four, three, two, one!
It's 10:00, everybody!
(Cheering)
(Water gurgling)
(Cell phone chirps) It's
the text from from Simon.
A wave.
Good God.
I have to make a call.
(Ringing)
(Scoffs)
Yeah.
It's me.
Did you crack it?
Look, the constant I've been
looking for it isn't a number.
It's a wave.
If I plug the wave into
the blueprint equation,
I get an interval which, if
added to the previous blackout,
tells us tells us what, Lloyd?
As precisely as I can tell,
the next blackout is
sometime in April 2010
which means it's in the next two days.
Mark? Mark? Are you still there?
April? April?
(Crowd shouting and cheering)
(Panting)
(People speaking Japanese)
(Whimpering)
(Beeps)
The baby's fine.
Good heartbeat.
But it's a boy.
It's a boy?
You disappointed?
No.
Just surprised.
Future is like that.
Yeah.
(Gunfire)
(Shell casings clatter)
(Beeping)
(Door whooshes open)
(Gunfire)
(Helicopter whirring)
God, we're almost through this thing.
Finally go back to the
way things used to be
where the only stuff we see
is what's right in front of us.
Welcome to the future.
Who did this?
The strings are different.
They moved.
Gabriel.
Make it look right.
You make it look right.
(Whispering) Gabriel.
Gabriel.
Gabriel.

April 29th.
The blackout it's in 12 minutes.
(Elevator bell dings)
(Elevator door opens)
(Electronic whir)
The command system won't let me access it.
What was it you said earlier?
Now the only thing we can see
is what's right in front of us?
(Beep) Whoever did this may
have copied the entire mainframe,
created some kind of clone.
Wait.
So what you're looking at is a
A fake, designed to
prevent me from getting in.
They knew I'd be back.
Remember me?
Now all I have to do is backdoor
into my archived account,
compare the system,
compare the code
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Bye-bye.
(Beeps)
You got it?
Downloading it for you now.
I don't know who you
work for, Mr.
Hellinger,
but whoever they are,
they won't be very happy
that you didn't prevent this
not at all.
(Beeping)
Done.
Whatever you'll need to
track the *** is in here.
(Fireworks whistling in distance)
Okay.
Hey.
Sweetie, go.
Go.
Go play with Dylan.
Mark Benford is dead.
He ran into the building.
Doesn't have a chance.
(Electronic whirring)
(Cell phone rings)
(Coughing) Okay.
Hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey.
Are you okay?
Careful.
What happened?
You went off the road into the lake.
I I wasn't even sure you were with us.
Then I pulled you out of the car,
and you started fighting me.
Hey, come on.
Hey, you must be freezing.
Here.
Okay.
There.
(Coughs)
Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
In my flash-forward, I
I saw myself saving you.
And all these months
I thought maybe I failed.
(Chuckles)
I'm, uh
I'm really happy that I didn't.
You saw me?
Yeah.
Okay.
An ambulance is on its way, okay?
Hey.
My name's Ed.
Nicole.
(Beeping)
What?
(Groans) What is it?
Someone's accessing the
mainframe from outside.
What does that mean?
It's a different command
system originating off-site.
They have control.
(Typing on keyboard)
(Automated female voice)
Commencing activation sequence.
(Alarm blaring, rapid
beeping, electronic whirring)
(Gunfire)
(Grunts)
What have you done,
Simon? Get away from that.
Put your hands up! Now!
(Breathing heavily)
You lying son of a ***.
(Alarm blaring)
(Fires) Hey, I didn't do this, Demetri,
not then and certainly not now!
I'm going to let them
do this to me, Demetri.
I won't let them turn me into a monster,
to use my machine, my mind.
Millions of people, Demetri
millions of people don't deserve to die.
Know what? You want to stop me?
You want to stop me from
doing what I'm doing,
which is trying to shut down this machine?
Then you're going to have to shoot me.
(Door squeaks open)
(Loud whoosh)
(Elevator bell dings)
(Yelling)
(Grunts)
(Panting)
(Cell phone rings) Yeah?
- It's Mark.
- You're still in the building?
Get the hell out now!
The next blackout
I figured it out, Stan.
It's gonna be at 10:14
p.
m.
Pacific tonight.
Call the White House, EBS, NTSB, everyone.
This place is about to go
in three minutes.
Move now!
(Whispers) Make the call, Stan.
(Helicopter whirring) Assistant
Director Stanford Wedeck.
Yes.
Put me through to the White House now.
(Woman) Credible information
that another global blackout
will hit in minutes.
Reporters
speaking at once in foreign languages)
(Rings, beep) (Sighs)
Mark!
(Whispering) Livy, listen very carefully.
The next blackout's about to happen.
Take Charlie, get her somewhere safe.
It's gonna happen in about two minutes.
Tell her I love her.
I love you both.
- Please be safe, Mark.
- Good-bye, Livy.
"President Segovia has
issued an evacuation order
in light of credible reports that
another global blackout will hit.
"
He's urging immediate steps to be taken
to ensure public safety
and is appealing for calm.
You might want to put that ring on.
You know what? I didn't see
my future the last time around.
I'm not gonna miss it
this time.
You want it?
I've seen my future.
This is it right now.
(Gun ***)
What did you see?
You might want to sit down
for this one.
(Rapid beeping)
Ready?
(Loud rumbling, whooshing)
Hang on! I am!
(Helicopter whirring)
Just hang on!
(People speaking at once)
(Band of Horses' "The funeral" playing)
I'm coming up only
to hold you under
'm coming up only
to show you wrong
ooh
ooh
really too late to call
so we wait for
morning to wake you
it's all we got
to know me as hardly golden
is to know me all wrong, they were
at every occasion
I'll be ready for a funeral
(whooshes)
(Man) Charlie, what is
it? You gotta tell me.
They found him.
(Gasps)
