The Adam Project Edit

A couple of years ago, she didn't come back from a jump.

A lot, all the time.

A time jet returning from 2018.

Aaargh!

About a year and a half ago.

Actually, you're in the wrong campus.

Adam,

Adam, before this goes any further, let's just go home, please.

Adam, I'm goin' inside. Cover the perimeter.

Adam, I'm headed out.

Adam, I'm sorry. We... we should have spoken about this.

Adam, just listen to her.

Adam, what are you doing? I'm about to get my ass kicked.

Adam, you're on those cars, right?

Adam!

Adam! Stop it! Please. [sobs]

Adam?

Adam? He's just a little kid.

Adam.

After Dad died, she got rich off of his tech.

Ah da da da da da.

Ah, I find that hard to believe.

Ah, it's at 50% capacity,

Ah...

Ahh!

Alive. Come here for a second. Hey.

All right, can we maybe slow down a bit now?

All right, the, uh, reading's on my website, and I'll see you Tuesday.

All right.

All right. Can you do me a favor?

All right. We'll see each other again.

All that loneliness,

All that loneliness,

All these years, I funded your work.

Almost every night.

Alone. All this time.

And after that happens, nothing is ever the same again.

And by the way, Maya, you did it, all of it,

And every time we passed that store,

And get rid of whatever political obstacles

And gets nothing from you but a fistful of crap,

And given her younger self some kind of future intel.

And here we are.

And hope you were crazy enough to come look for me.

And how lucky am I

And I did it.

And I guess, when I get older,

And I know why you hate him so much.

And I love you.

And I remember some stuff that you maybe don't wanna.

And I will be on my merry way.

And I'll tell you what, kid.

And I'm sorry.

And I'm still the nerd with an inhaler who gets his ass kicked.

And I've given it a lot of thought,

And if we had let the government take it from us,

And in the subbasement in a diamond hard neuromorphic processor.

And it was from his 1949 classic, "Enjoy Yourself."

And it won't be like a couple of kids in a playground scrap.

And let some creepy dude just wander around my house alone?

And m sin 1 is the mass of the Earth, m sin e,

And not even, like, ten seconds of genuine empathy.

And punch him hard in the private bathing suit parts.

And somehow, you ended up in 2022. How does that work? You just missed?

And thanks to Sorian, none of it's good.

And that's an extremely big "if" with Sorian on my ass,

And the problem with acting like you have it all together is...

And the work we are doing here is simply ahead of the current statutes.

And then along comes time travel, and the whole world starts to fall apart

And then fly out of your life.

And then you're gonna look Ray right in the eye.

And we did it four weeks ago.

And we suck at dealing with it.

And we will find each other.

And when you're not...

And when you're older, you'll realize that. It...

And why was 2022 a mistake?

And you flew this jet?

And you know that for a fact?

And you never understood the science.

And you were trying to get to 2018 'cause that's where she went before?

And you? What do you need?

And you're cooking. What are you making? Hi.

And you're probably wrong.

And you're wearing my dad's watch.

And your buddy Adam Reed is about to betray you.

And your fixed time, 2050, is it bad there?

And, what, you're gonna suspend Adam? Because what?

Any other questions?

Anything you say or do could cause a divergence.

Anyway, times have changed.

Are you kidding me?

Are you sure?

Are you sure? I mean, I would hate to disturb your sleep.

Are you talking about your penis?

Aren't you grieving too?

Aren't you late for work?

Aren't you, Adam?

As soon as you tell me who she is.

Ask your son how I play.

Avoid contact, minimize my footprint,

Back! Back!

Be a father.

Be so tired, and I'd be in the yard throwing the ball against the pitch back.

Be the change you wanna see, okay?

Because he died.

Because I named him.

Because I'm injured... aah, the jet won't even clear me to fly,

Because it was easier than missing him.

Because no one ever flew to 2018.

Because no one has a right to change the future, including us.

Because somewhere inside that cheap suit and ridiculous ponytail is me.

Because we can't control time travel if it never existed.

Because you can't do it without me.

Because you're small, and fragile, and you have a big mouth.

Being a geek is about to pay off.

Boom.

Both of you.

Bought all the right people.

Boys always come back for their mamas.

Buddy, it's time to go. Come on.

But did she?

But does that make you a shitty guy? No.

But going back to save her.

But guess who can?

But he needs you.

But here's the thing. He doesn't wanna fight.

But I know somebody who might.

But I saw you being born.

But I was... I was just playing with the theory

But I'll tell him you stopped by.

But if I'm right, your tracking system is about to...

But if you go near Adam again, I'll know, and I will find you, Ray.

But just in case,

But long before that,

But maybe there'll be an echo or somethin', like Laura said.

But that hasn't happened yet.

But the rest of you is pretty awesome.

But this is our legacy.

But this...

But we can't have a life here. Not like this.

But we're gonna try anyway.

But without the algorithm, no one will ever be able to program it again.

But you cannot tell me how or when it happens.

But you need to piss off to where you came from.

But you will die before your life's work is done.

By Newton's gravitational formula.

Bye. Pfft.

Call me if you need me.

Can we please stop saying "date" now? Thanks.

Can you please shut up for a second?

Can... can we be serious now?

Catch.

Check it out.

Christ. You're so sensitive.

Christos, please escort Adam back to 2050.

Chuck.

College is a high point, until after a year, you lose your scholarship

Come and have your dinner.

Come here.

Come here.

Come on, come on, come on!

Come on, Reed. Come on.

Come on!

Come on.

Come on.

Commence evacuation.

Could be devastating.

Could be fun to just keep it in.

Crap.

Dad did too.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Dad.

Derek. Derek, Derek, Derek.

Destroy time travel before it's even invented.

Destroy time travel. How will we do that?

Did I? Hmm.

Did you order, like, a "Bully Starter Kit" on Amazon or somethin'?

Die!

Divided by r squared.

Do it!

Do you have scientific proof that she changed things?

Do you realize how absolutely wrong this is?

Do you realize that you have broken every rule?

Do you still miss him?

Do you understand me?

Do you understand?

Do you wanna talk about why you're still here

Do you work out?

Do you?

Does everyone skip leg day in the future?

Does he seem, uh... does he seem sad to you?

Don't get me wrong, your outfits are incredible though.

Don't give me that stink eye.

Don't look back. Look up.

Don't touch that.

Don't worry. He doesn't wanna fight.

Don't you do it! Don't you do it, Reed!

Don't you just wanna hold him underwater till the bubbles stop?

Don't... Hey, don't call anyone. Put the phone down. I won't hurt you.

Easy for you to say. I'm the one who ends up in a therapist's office,

Eight.

Ellie.

Even if we correct the time stream,

Even us being here, talking like this, we're perverting fate and time.

Ever had your ass kicked by a 12 year old nerd with an inhaler?

Ever hear the expression, "Every bully has a bully"?

Every conceptual idea you have about the universe

Every moment we ever had will always have happened.

Every time you remember how you treated her now.

Everybody gets a trophy.

Everyone is twice my size. I've seen babies bigger than me.

Everything has already been changed by Sorian.

Everything we've worked for,

Everything you asked me to do.

Everything you're doing right now just to rescue one person.

Except the stability of these wormholes is no longer a hypothetical,

F is equal to big G, Newton's gravitational constant,

Fair.

Find him.

Fine, come with me, and we'll...

Fine. Can you at least tell me how you got here?

Finish him!

For something that is so unbelievably stupid

Four years.

Four.

From ever being invented and save the future.

Gah! That bullet went straight through. Good.

Get back in the house before our mother gets home, and don't make it weird.

Get behind me, both of you.

Get it together. Ray's ready. You're embarrassing yourself.

Get out of my stuff and open the door.

Get over here! Get over here!

Get yourself home and clean yourself up.

Gimme the gun.

Give it to me!

Give me... the drive.

Give Mom a hug for me.

Give yourself permission to be inadequate, and then get to work.

Go away, Adam. [sighs]

Go, go, go, go, go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go!

Go!

Go.

Go. Go!

God damn it!

God, I hated those assholes.

God, I hope the boss lets me kill you.

God, it's like I traded my brains for those muscles.

God, no. That'd be irresponsible of me.

Good.

Gotcha!

Gotcha.

Gotta dress the wound, prevent a nasty infection,

Grab on to that railing,

Guns.

Had it in the calendar, but I can't find the statement.

Hang on.

Has just been thrown out the window.

Have you seen this guy?

Hawking?

He believes it.

He bought it because they had one in the window of Altman's.

He called it The Adam Project.

He doesn't hate you.

He doesn't need perfect. He just needs you.

He hates me.

He loves you.

He played catch with us

He runs security for Sorian.

He seems nice.

He was giving me crap in front of the whole class.

He'd always grab his mitt to come out for a catch.

He'd get home from work,

He'd see me throwin' in the yard, and no matter how tired he was,

He's a decent pilot but a terrible person.

He's an odd duck, like his dad.

He's been talking for 15 minutes. Managed to put the entire class to sleep.

He's busy right now,

He's got a big mouth. I get it.

He's so...

Hello, Laura.

Hello. You have a wonderful mouth mullet. You must be very proud.

Here at Sorian Technologies, we're building it.

Here we go. All right, give me your hand.

Here, eat something.

Here, ready? Deep breath.

Here's the rest of it. Dad's death screws you up more than you ever realize.

Hey there.

Hey there. Good morning.

Hey, Adam.

Hey, buddy, I have good news for you.

Hey, careful with that.

Hey, grab a pile.

Hey, guys. Enjoying our suspension?

Hey, I love you.

Hey, look, you lost one fight. I figured you'd be used to that by now.

Hey, Ray Dollarhyde has been bullying you for years

Hey, she's my wife too.

Hey, what's goin' on? Huh?

Hey, you had to lose that fight.

Hey! Hey!

Hey. You have her to take care of you. She has no one. You understand?

Hmm. Your boy still havin' a hard time?

Hold it.

Hold on for dear life, and try not to pass out from the G's, okay?

Holy shi...

Holy shit! I'm the godfather of time travel?

Holy shit.

Holy shit. I wonder what it i... Was it because he's narcissistic,

Honestly? Your future is pretty tragic either way.

How are we gonna do that? What's your plan?

How did I live this long? That's a terrible idea.

How did this happen?

How did you know that would work?

How did you turn out to be an asshole? I thought you loved me.

How do you destroy math?

How do you know my dog's name?

How is he gonna find his place in the world?

How long ago was Dad's accident?

How long will that take?

How was your not a date? Will you be seeing him again?

How'd you get to be so dumb?

How'd you get to be so smart?

How's that strange?

Hundreds of millions of my money, my wealth.

I am not being critical. I'm... I'm narrating.

I am now.

I am so keeping this thing.

I am.

I am. Of course I am.

I asked him nicely to shut up and listen.

I begged him to buy it for me,

I can feel somethin' happening.

I can think of somethin'.

I can... I can walk you to Schaefer.

I can't be here, Adam. I... I have to go.

I can't believe you're future me.

I can't believe...

I can't do this again, okay?

I can't do this again, please. I can't afford to lose you. Don't do this.

I can't hear you through the helmet. It muffles a bit. It's hard to hear you.

I can't know the future.

I can't shut it down!

I cannot even say it out loud right now.

I don't know how to handle it. Let's talk about it now.

I don't know if I should've built that game for him.

I don't know if we're gonna remember any of this,

I don't know what that is, but when is a flashing red light ever good?

I don't think he needs it.

I don't think we should be out here.

I don't think you do.

I figured after we eliminated time travel, you two would go back to your fixed times.

I fixed that future where we had been forgotten.

I forget that there's a difference.

I found you.

I give Mom a hard time now, and...

I got 12 stitches.

I got this.

I gotta go.

I gotta hand it to you, Dad. You were not messin' around.

I had no intention of coming back to revisit... this.

I had to kill his wife twice to protect the integrity of my program.

I happen to collect odd ducks.

I hate to say it, but you were the best part all along.

I have a lot going on.

I have to go home. Your mom and you are waiting.

I have to go to work.

I haven't been there for you.

I hope you're right.

I jammed the coordinates. I didn't have time to double check 'em.

I just got your shirt, by the way. It's very clever.

I just gotta stop bleeding long enough.

I just wanna know.

I keep waiting to wake up and miss him less,

I knew the moment I saw you.

I knew you'd come someday. I just didn't know when.

I know exactly what got you punched.

I know you came for me.

I know you think you know more than me because you're older.

I know you wanna touch all the pretty buttons

I know you, Adam. I know that mouth of yours.

I know.

I know.

I love you too, Mom. More than I know.

I love you, honey.

I loved Laura. You were both like family to me.

I loved you from the first minute that I saw you.

I mean, do you even hear yourself? Chuck, we talked about this.

I mean, stop time travel

I need to get this wound closed up.

I need to go for a walk.

I need you, Dad.

I offered to walk her to the right one, and...

I once was.

I ran into a table on the patio.

I really believe that.

I remember these little turd burpers.

I spent 30 years trying to get away from the me that was you.

I think it's easier to be angry than it is to be sad.

I think it's pretty obvious. I'm stealing this jet.

I think...

I thought you were gonna say that.

I told you Sorian already did that. She's had the world by the balls since.

I told you to hang on.

I used to love this jacket.

I wanna hear you say it, "I won't tell him." Say it.

I want my drive.

I want the rest of it.

I was analyzing data when I found something strange in the jump logs.

I was beginning to think you were making this up as you went along.

I wasn't supposed to land here. I was aiming for 2018.

I watched you take your first breath.

I went to the motel, and when I didn't find you there,

I will pull bones out of your body.

I will set up those accounts.

I will sharpen them.

I wish I knew what I was doin' wrong.

I would never have hurt her. I hate that it's come to this.

I... I already know.

I... I figured I'd find you here.

I... I saved your ass with a Subaru, son.

I... I... Well, I just wanted to stay home with you today.

I... I'd rather something that'll make me feel better.

I'd rather cut to it and tell you the truth, if you're up for it.

I'll heal for a few more days until I can get a clean read

I'll need your DNA to start her up.

I'll show ya.

I'll tell ya. [sighs]

I'm about to lose my shit here!

I'm Adam. Adam... Adam Reed.

I'm back

I'm crazy about him.

I'm extremely lovable.

I'm glad that you didn't ask me that because "they" are classified.

I'm gonna get some stuff.

I'm gonna go inside the house.

I'm gonna go upstairs, grab some stuff. Stay cool. You can trust me.

I'm gonna kill you!

I'm gonna lose my job.

I'm gonna smoke your banana, motherf...

I'm kidding. Let's go. Come on. Here we go.

I'm leaving.

I'm not gonna explain my plan to a nerd with an inhaler...

I'm not kidding.

I'm not the villain here. I spent millions...

I'm sorry if I went too far today.

I'm sorry that I'm... I'm not gonna be there for you down the road,

I'm sorry to interrupt what I'm sure is gonna be a scary threat,

I'm sorry, boys. I'm, uh...

I'm sorry, do I know you?

I'm sorry.

I'm starting to think it's something we do.

I'm still researching boarding schools in Fallujah, so...

I'm talkin' the break a rib kinda hug. Yeah?

I'm thinking it over.

I'm very happy to see you, and I mean this in the best possible way,

I'm you, you know.

I've got time.

I've gotta do better.

I've had years to rig my defenses. They'll never see me coming.

I've never written the algorithm down or demonstrated it to another human being,

I've trained myself to...

I've, uh...

If I go back and stop time travel,

If I keep having to leave work in the middle of the day,

If I'm being honest with myself, you have a very punchable face.

If I'm being honest, yeah, I'm still kinda pissed.

If they're here.

If you don't abort right now, I will shoot you out of the...

If you don't come back now, you never will.

In fairness to us,

In the wrong building.

Infinitely Shifting Plasma Containing Algorithm,

Instead of being at work?

Is coded to its user's DNA.

Is toward the Earth or away from it.

Is... is this time travel?

It goes away unless you pull this trigger.

It probably takes a while for 30 years of changed time

It sounds like you're speaking from experience.

It was Guy Lombardo,

It was really nice chatting with you. I'll see you later.

It was the Romans who etched it on their sundials.

It'll take two semesters just to begin solving that.

It's 2018, so EM technology isn't stable yet.

It's a little disturbing, actually.

It's a shit deal.

It's a singer. Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians.

It's a whole new world.

It's amazing.

It's barely been a year since we lost his father.

It's because he died.

It's fine. I got used to being alone.

It's fine. We'll be fine. It's good. Good, good, good.

It's gettin' there.

It's in the calendar, but I can't find the statement.

It's interesting that you, uh... you know that.

It's later than you think."

It's like living with a urinal cake that yells at you.

It's like they're genetically engineered to bore us to death.

It's not a multiverse!

It's not his fault. He's... he's just dealing.

It's not like you're keeping a low profile, obviously.

It's okay if you don't.

It's okay. It's all right.

It's really him.

It's so hard without you.

It's the third time you've been suspended for fighting.

It's too dangerous what he's asking me to do. I can't.

It's your family.

It's your future.

Jesus Christ, Adam.

Jesus. Okay.

Jinx.

Just auditing the class. [chuckles]

Just look him in the eyes and smile.

Just making sure I wasn't getting mugged.

Just... just no.

Just... no.

Kidding. Sort of.

Know that inside your heart. Know... Come here.

Laura Shane.

Laura, is that you?

Laura, this is... me.

Let's find him and get the hell outta here.

Let's just talk like normal people, okay?

Let's see what we're dealing with here. All right, some minor shield damage.

Like what?

Like you can't wait to watch his soul exit his body.

Like, gene therapy or nanotechnology for...

Listen, guys, instead of moaning about it,

Listen, guys, that is the beauty of physics.

Lockdown in two minutes.

Locked and docked.

Long time no see.

Look, Dad, Dad, those guns shoot armor piercing bullets.

Look, um... Dad.

Love you too.

M sin 2 is the mass of the object the Earth is exerting force on.

Man, I was all in before we even made it outside.

Mankind has no business tampering with the mechanics of the universe.

Maya, Jesus Christ.

Maya, you're better than this.

Maybe he needs to know that you don't.

Maybe in the future, there's, like...

Maybe she saw something Sorian didn't want her to see.

Maybe so.

Maybe you are.

Maybe, maybe not. We'll see.

Met in the academy.

Mind hitting the light on your way out?

Missed him while he was here.

Mm, well, somethin' to look forward to. [chuckles]

Mmm. Well, I think your nice friend Maya had her killed.

Mom's gone to work.

More than he knows.

Mothers are usually the ones who take the hit.

Multiplied by m sin 1 times m sin 2

My God, we watched too many movies.

My guess is enough future stock tips to amass her fortune

My husband had a jacket just like that.

My memory... our memories, they reform, they reconcile.

My need to be best, to be first, to be the smartest guy in the room.

My... my ego. My hubris.

Next thing you know,

Nice dog.

Nice hit, Dad.

Nice try, asshole.

Nice, healthy DNA right there.

No ovens, no answering the door, no video games.

No, I came back for you.

No, I don't mean that. He's such a sweet kid.

No, I was stabbed with a bullet. What do you think, you moron?

No, it wasn't. And that is a flight suit. Are you a pilot?

No, no, no, no! No. That... that's not what we talked about.

No, she didn't.

No, we do not have a wife anymore.

No, you don't because you can't know. But I will tell you this.

No, you're not. You're too busy.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. No, no, no, no, no.

None of it matters anymore.

Nope.

Nope.

Not a word.

Not anymore.

Not anymore. I found you.

Not on purpose.

Not one of your lame ass side hugs either.

Not yet, anyway.

Nothin'. I'm just gonna lay down. Let this bullet wound heal.

Now you have to go back to 2018, and you have to put things right.

Now,

Now, don't think I won't put a bullet right through you.

Now, where is your husband?

Of course we use money in the future. Stay here.

Oh God! That's where you go? Immediately? You are dark, man.

Oh God. Thank God. There's a plan.

Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God,

Oh my God, oh my God!

Oh my God! You're killing me with the theoretical.

Oh my gosh, Adam. [laughs]

Oh my gosh. You're right. Okay. Have a great day, honey.

Oh no, Chuck. Look, we made him cry.

Oh no. I'm so sorry.

Oh yeah?

Oh, come on.

Oh, hey, Adam.

Oh, hey, um...

Oh, hey. I'm surprised you're still up.

Oh, I think that's well established.

Oh, it is a date. I am going on a date. Why am I going on a date?

Oh, just out to dinner with a friend.

Oh, pretty sure.

Oh, this is a classic.

Oh, this shit's about to get weird.

Oh, uh...

Oh, wait. Do we get a lot of girls in college?

Oh, well, for me, it was 32 years ago.

Oh, you... Oh, no, no. No, no, no. Wha...

Oh!

Oh! Time to go.

Oh. This is my son, Adam. Adam, this is Derek.

Oh. You're in the wrong place, I think.

Okay, baby, it's about to get busier.

Okay, back, back. Go, go, go! Reverse!

Okay, come on.

Okay, I've isolated the damaged relays,

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, tell me.

Okay, the prevailing wisdom is that when I go back to my fixed time,

Okay, we'll park it down there,

Okay, you came to terms with that pretty quickly.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Okay. I'll see you at work.

Okay. Sit down.

On a date.

On the bright side, your... your face now matches your soul.

One.

Only took you 44 years to bring me here.

Only what he needs to know. Everything else...

Or are we gonna talk about it all day? Let's go, go, go, go, go.

Or cared more about his job than his son...

Or something that's gonna make you feel better.

Or there's a cataclysmic meltdown

Or you can get left behind in the past.

Or, uh, never came home from work

Or?

Ouchie, with the face. Did I do that?

Our goal is to calculate the variability of gravitational force,

Over some paranoid delusion that I somehow killed Laura.

Oy.

Physics is a slog. It's a slog.

Please proceed to the gymnasium.

Please.

Plus...

Point is, this fight needs to happen right now.

Put that back.

Put the bat down. I'm not gonna hurt you, I promise.

Put the drone down. It will kill us both.

Pyeow!

Ray, can we just take a break from the ass kicking today?

Reactor stability compromised.

Really?

Really?

Red Leader.

Reed!

Right?

Right. That's why we're gonna put the genie back in the bottle.

Roger Dodger.

Roger that, middle aged Adam.

Run away, Reed!

Screw it.

Seven.

She already had that.

She has exclusive control over the most valuable resource on Earth,

She still hasn't cleaned out his closet.

She wakes up every morning

She was 20 minutes late to the wrong classroom

She went back to November 2018 for a reason.

She wrote the book on reentry. Didn't make sense.

She... she just gets taken away.

She'd never do that. She knows the consequences.

She's not much of a housekeeper.

Shhh.

Shit!

Shit!

Shocking. It should all be online.

Shoot him now.

Should not and cannot be undone under any circumstance.

Shouldn't have done that.

Shouldn't he be outside, playing with the rest of the kids?

Shouldn't you be at work?

Shut your mouth, or I'll fill it with Ray's feet.

Smile in a way that says, "I want this."

So are you in or are you...

So by being here and telling me this,

So even behind you, we're still Swiss cheese.

So here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna blow this bitch up.

So hopefully less time than it takes me to heal.

So I didn't exactly steal it. I borrowed the shit out of it.

So I had to follow protocol, you know, live out my life here,

So is he a little lonely?

So it lives here in the old bean,

So just give us a second, okay, Ray?

So let's define the gravitational force of the Earth on an object

So one of us doesn't know something else, right?

So say goatee.

So sorry if I'm a little fuzzy on the details.

So tell him.

So that's what Dad did.

So the future the jet had left from had already been changed.

So the person you came to save is in 2018.

So the ship should be able to start repairing itself.

So this world, our world,

So we go there, destroy the hard drive, prevent time travel from being invented.

So what happened to Laura?

So you can either support my program and be a part of the future,

So you're gonna walk over there, and you're gonna raise your hands,

So you're not gonna break this up?

So you're risking your own young life

So, uh... I was losin' blood. Ship was comin' apart.

So, uh... so we're both right.

So... Oh, you...

Some people dream of the future.

Somebody was hidin' somethin'.

Somethin's wrong.

Sometimes it pays to be a nerd, guys.

Somewhere in us will be the echo of this one.

Son, you'd better start caring, because the future is coming,

Sooner than you think.

Sorian must've come back to 2018

Sorian must've spotted me and planted an altitude bomb on my jet.

Sorian warned her younger self we were coming.

Sorry, Louis, but you brought this on yourself.

Sorry. [laughs]

Sorry. I gotta get to my room to think about what I've done.

Sorry. It's been a rough day.

Start the area scans for his jet.

Stay behind me. [exhales]

Stop the car.

Stretch out. You don't wanna pull a hammy.

Sure it's okay for us to be here?

Sure. See you soon.

Take it easy.

Tell me about it.

Tell you what? You come up with a plan, and we'll do it your way. Sound good?

Tell your husband to get his bitch ass out here.

Telling them about where the bad man touched me.

Thank you, thank you.

That I got to see it?

That is the mathematical equation that will make time travel possible.

That is the nerve center of the accelerator.

That is your fixed time.

That part's theoretical.

That ship has sailed. It's too late for me. So, you know, whatever. I'm fine.

That was awesome.

That was invigorating!

That was the first step toward practical time travel.

That will destroy all living things within 100 miles.

That you can use wormholes for time travel.

That's 2050 on a good day.

That's chilling. What happened?

That's Christos. We were in the academy together.

That's classified. But yes...

That's crap. I have the top reentry stats in the program.

That's my bad. Hi.

That's my wife, Laura.

That's nice.

That's not a Denver omelet. That is a cry for help.

That's the job, right?

That's weird. It farts when I cough.

That's what you get. We don't hit people in this family.

That's why I gotta get back to 2018 as soon as possible.

That's why I know you're gonna find me again.

That's your mother's car.

That's, yes, the guy with the, um... with the mouth mullet.

The accelerator will continue to run on a dormant loop.

The Adam Project, had just gone online.

The car?

The eggs are burnt, and the bacon's still somehow totally raw.

The environment was pretty much toast before we came along.

The environmental impact alone from the companies you had me pick

The jet's almost ready. I'll lay low in the shed.

The magnetic particle accelerator. Remember that?

The minute I find myself with a few extra hours,

The only thing that's changed is you. Have you lost your mind?

The only woman you ever loved gets taken away.

The quote, um... "It's later than you think." It's not the Romans.

The reactor's damaged.

The stock buys, the offshore accounts, all of it. It's unethical.

Then everything we sacrificed,

Then hit him in the private bathing suit parts.

Then I'm in the wrong building.

Then I'm lost.

Then why are you back here now?

Then you're gonna drop to your knees

Theoretically, time travel...

There are forces greater than science.

There is a crystal hard drive running the algorithm in a closed loop.

There she is.

There's a dirt road around the bend.

There's gotta be somethin' we can do.

There's no one even following us.

There's nobody here.

There's only one place in time where you belong on a quantum level,

They changed the jump logs.

They don't have safeguards where you come from?

They found us.

They grow into teenagers, who grow into be assassins of happiness.

They told me her jet broke up on reentry, but she was the best pilot in the program.

They wanna fight. They really, really wanna fight.

They're intimidating but also scream, "Please don't hurt me."

They're leaving.

They're not leaving. They're regrouping.

Things happened to you, to us.

Think about some key investment opportunities for your future.

This company is all you will ever have.

This goes on your permanent record. Get that? Care about your future?

This guy likes you.

This happened.

This is Butternut Sippy Cup. Ten four, over.

This is mine to do with as I please.

This is my fixed time. You already had my childhood.

This is the world's largest electromagnetic accelerator.

This is where we house the hard drive.

This theory needs to take a leak. So let's go.

This watch.

This watch.

This way!

This. Right here, right now.

Those armor piercing rounds contain a magnetic steel core.

Three, two, one.

Three.

Throughout all time.

Till you lose...

Time to go. Let's go.

Time.

To destroy your accelerator, and I'm gonna enjoy it.

To fall fast asleep but keep my eyes open.

To quote the Romans,

To sort itself out.

Twelve.

Uh, I know you like the Denver omelet.

Uh, it bears repeating.

Uh, no!

Uh, not really. No.

Uh, we're gonna switch to plan A, which is where you come in.

Uh...

Um... computational linguistics.

Unless it works like a multiverse,

Unless someone went back and altered the time stream,

Unlikely, but I'll put in a good word for you.

Until the only woman you have...

Until then, this is how your dad did it.

Wait a minute. You're saying Dad invented time travel?

Wait, "Sorian"? Maya Sorian, Dad's partner?

Wait.

Wait. It already happened? Somebody already altered time?

Wanna see something cool?

Wanna start low or go high?

Was it Ray Dollarhyde again?

We are meant to work on problems that our children will solve.

We can fix it.

We can't.

We could generate utilitarian wormholes in space.

We did happen.

We don't pull this off, we're not gettin' back, either one of us.

We have a wife?

We have the same scar.

We have to move fast, or they'll be on us before we can jump to 2018.

We lost his dad in a car accident year before last.

We meet in the program. We meet there. Do you understand that? We can't...

We never happen, Laura.

We never happen.

We never meet.

We'll have to deal with security. You know this bag of toys you love?

We're going that way. Be ready.

We're gonna find Dad.

We're okay.

We're taking you back to 2050, Reed.

Well, I got shot when I was stealing the plane.

Well, I have some idea.

Well, I'd say Bring Your Kid to Work Day was a huge success.

Well, let's hope it's the first thing.

Well, look at that.

Well, look who we have here.

Well, this night's been full of surprises, mother.

Well, you... you're right about that.

Well, you've always said that you wished you'd met me earlier.

Well... well, I have so much more in my body. Where's your mother?

Were keeping her from gaining control of the time program.

Were you really gonna steal that from us? Destroy everything we've worked for?

What are you doin' here?

What are you doing here? You said I wouldn't be seeing you again.

What are you doing?

What are you doing? Are you crazy?

What do you say, kid? Your call.

What do you think we're doin' here? Think we're short of hugs in the future?

What for?

What happened in November 2018?

What I meant was I didn't need you originally.

What if we don't? What if... what if you're wrong?

What is it? You see something?

What is that?

What the hell is this?

What was that?

What was that?

What?

What?

What?

What's a... Jesus!

What's Dad doing?

What's done, no matter how terrible,

What's going on with you, honey?

What's going on, honey? Can you just tell me?

What's your field?

When am I ever wrong?

When I say "classified," what does your brain hear? Chocolate?

When I was seven,

When was that? Remind me.

When we get to altitude, the bio stop will come down, and then I can take over.

When you are with us... [clicks tongue]

Where each ripple creates an alternate timeline...

Where the hell are they?

Where you actually belong.

Where you goin'?

Where you going?

Where you going?

Where you're not screwing around with the cosmos like I am.

Where you've been suspended two, three times for fighting,

Which depends entirely on whether your path of motion

Which friend?

Which I designed to stabilize the wormholes.

Which is ironic because you can't fight to save your life.

Which means I can't get in there to fix her.

Which means they're here.

While generations that come after you

Who are "they"?

Who said that?

Who's that?

Whoa!

Why are you here?

Why don't you wear some of Dad's clothes?

Why? What's happening?

Will be finishing the work that you started.

Will you just stop? Stop. Where the hell are you going?

Will you please just stop talking?

Will you stop and listen to me?

With a broken heart and a closet full of his clothes

With a sixth grader.

With real oversight.

With that filing system? Shocking.

With who?

With your sticky little child fingers, but the reactor has a quantum signature.

Without my jet, I was a permanent castaway.

Would you do that?

Would've been for nothing.

Yeah, believe me. I don't wanna be here any more than you want me here.

Yeah, he bought it so he didn't have to play with me.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I need to pay the insurance on the house today.

Yeah, probably.

Yeah, trust me. She's no friend.

Yeah, well, that little kid...

Yeah, well, when a bad idea is the only idea, it becomes a great idea.

Yeah!

Yeah? Then why are you here, Dad?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah. I need to pay the insurance on the house.

Yeah. That's tough.

Yeah. Yeah, listen to me. Uh...

Yeah. You have no idea.

Yeah... No, actually, no.

Year. Couple of years.

Yes, I theorized that with a powerful enough pulse,

Yes. No. Yes.

Yet your big question is, "Do I get laid?"

You always do.

You being here in 2022?

You being here opens up the potential for catastrophic reconfiguration.

You came back here

You can be a real jerk sometimes.

You can't be good at something unless you're willing to be...

You can't be here.

You can't be here. You can't be anywhere but your own timeline.

You can't have it.

You could show some compassion.

You coulda helped. You just stood there.

You don't go from bein' you to bein' me without gettin' your ass kicked,

You don't play any sports because of acute asthma.

You don't say. I like this guy.

You end up in the air force. Turns out you could really fly.

You fire it up, they can find us.

You found me.

You get depressed. You get angry.

You go to Franklin Middle School,

You had adventures, you flew planes,

You had to. Trust me.

You hate him

You have a good mom?

You have one jump left.

You just never understood the bigger picture. [chuckles sadly]

You knew how to close the fridge.

You knew how to get into my dad's garage.

You knew how to time my breathing.

You know I love you.

You know that? [sighs]

You know the potential for catastrophic changes to the time stream.

You know what? It's...

You know, 30 years, you still get sick to your stomach

You left your scarf in my car.

You look awake.

You made yourself hate him

You may have just changed my whole future?

You might find the odd solution here or there.

You put that back.

You said that already.

You see, time jets, like all tech in the future,

You seeing someone?

You should have stayed dead the first time.

You should tell him.

You think he started a fight with that thug Ray?

You think I'm playing?

You think you're being strong for him,

You understand what I'm saying? Got all of it? The bones?

You wander around school without making a social dent.

You were always more interested in the universe than your son.

You. Nine years from now, right before you get arrested.

You'd think I'd be better at it by now.

You'll feel differently when you meet her.

You'll just figure out some other way to pound the crap out of him.

You're a good fighter. You like to kick ass. You're a big kid.

You're Adam Reed. Born February 10th, 2010.

You're changing the future. That's gotta be against the rules.

You're gonna be okay.

You're gonna find Dad.

You're gonna go dressed like that?

You're gonna smile in a way that says,

You're his place in the world.

You're me.

You're my future.

You're my son, Adam,

You're not doin' anything wrong.

You're not still mad at me for blowing up your jet, are you?

You're totally a guest lecturer, aren't you?

You're trying to break into a highly sensitive, secure facility

You've blown past every conceivable ethical boundary like it wasn't there.

Your cold, lifeless husk will be moldering in the ground

Your cooking makes you a borderline serial killer,

Your father's magnetic particle accelerator,

Your jet is meshed for your DNA. It won't fly with anyone else.

Your parents are Ellie and Louis Reed. Louis would've died about a year ago.

Yours isn't holding up his end of the bargain, so I'm gonna take over.

What? Try to focus.

What? Yeah.

What? What do you mean you're thinking? Yeah.

What's happening? That.

What's with the lightsaber? It's not a lightsaber.

What's wrong? I got shot.

Where are you goin'? [gasps]

Where do they find these guest lecturers? [snickering]

Where you goin'? Drugstore.

Where's little Adam? He's fine!

Who? Sorian.

Why did you need your 12 year old self? [Adam] I didn't.

Why would he need to know that? Okay, stop. Both of you stop talking now.

Yeah, but, baby... It's...

Yeah, he doesn't matter. None of them matter.

Yeah, we should run. Yep.

Yeah. [Adam] Yeah.

Yeah. Super cool. [chuckles]

Yeah. You're a real streamer.

Yeah. Your feet in Chuckie's mouth?

Yeah. Okay. All right.

Yeah... I don't think so.

Yep. [Louis] If you think you've got...

Yes, I am. Yeah. Shit.

Yes, that should do it. Good. Let's do that.

Yes. Did you, though?

You don't have a plan. Because I do not have a plan.

You don't say. They shot him when he stole the jet.

You got shot? By a gun, yeah.

You have to put an end to all this. What do you mean "put an end to it"?

You have to. What are you talking about?

You know I can track your jump. Yeah, but you know that I know that.

You know what you have to do. Nooooo.

You know what? We should get into that. Thank you.

You needed me to fly the jet. Jet? There... there's a jet?

You remember the pitch back, right? Oh, I... I remember the pitch back.

You're amazing. [Adam] Okay.

You're gonna be better than okay. You don't know that.

You're my boy, and I love you. Okay. You don't have to do all...

You're smart. You can figure it out. Adam!

You're still here. [Louis] Oh.

You're up. Yeah. All right, drop the Mag Cyl.

You're wasting your time. That means it already happened to you.

...gotta believe in the miracle...

...you're with us 100%.

'Cause Adam's gonna give me the drive right now.

"Enjoy yourselves.

"His place in the world"? He's a kid. We're his place in the world.

"I've been waiting my whole life for this."

"I've waited my entire life for this moment."
