[br]Dude, are you still there?

0:00:25.808,0:00:27.868
Bro, are you still there?

0:00:27.868,0:00:31.796
[br]Yeah. Yeah, I’m still here.

0:00:31.796,0:00:33.529
[br]Did you hear what I said?

0:00:33.529,0:00:36.320
Yeah. You have a story, [br]you have to write about it.

0:00:36.320,0:00:39.486
[br]Yeah.

0:00:43.946,0:00:47.296
Okay, so tell me about the story.

0:00:47.296,0:00:55.588
Oh right. So it’s like at a hotel [br]and there’s a guy named Tony.

0:00:55.588,0:00:57.883
[br]Do you know that one?

0:00:57.883,0:01:00.313
[br]Do I know a story about a guy named Tony?

0:01:00.313,0:01:01.690
[br]He works at the hotel.

0:01:01.690,0:01:03.597
Yeah, but what does [br]he do at the hotel?

0:01:03.597,0:01:09.154
[br]Is he a doorman, is he a manager?

0:01:09.154,0:01:12.836
Can you tell me something [br]else about the story?

0:01:12.836,0:01:15.343
[br]There’s a guy named Carl.

0:01:15.343,0:01:21.579
[br]Okay. What does Carl do?

0:01:29.152,0:01:31.993
Dude, be honest. [br]Did you read the story?

0:01:31.993,0:01:34.025
[br]Not yet.

0:01:34.025,0:01:37.446
Well, how are you gonna write [br]about it if you didn’t read it?

0:01:37.446,0:01:40.323
[br]I don’t know. I’ll just read it now.

0:01:40.323,0:01:44.528
Dude, you should have [br]read it before we started.

0:01:44.528,0:01:49.041
Okay, do you want to [br]just read it together?

0:01:49.041,0:01:50.499
[br]You can read it with me?

0:01:50.499,0:01:55.775
Yeah, I get paid either way, dude. [br]What’s the name of the story?

0:01:55.775,0:02:01.393
[br]Uh… “I’ll Be Waiting.”

0:02:03.898,0:02:06.873
[br]Oh, Chandler. Duh.

0:02:06.873,0:02:07.769
[br]Who?

0:02:07.769,0:02:10.847
I’ve read the story before. [br]The author is Raymond Chandler.

0:02:10.847,0:02:13.123
[br]No, his name’s Tony.

0:02:13.123,0:02:14.747
[br]That’s the main character.

0:02:14.747,0:02:18.818
Right, like the author who wrote it.

0:02:18.818,0:02:23.802
No, the guy who wrote [br]the story is Raymond Chandler.

0:02:23.802,0:02:25.280
[br]Oh.

0:02:27.602,0:02:30.360
Wait, didn’t he write the [br]story about the baby?

0:02:30.360,0:02:35.170
I don’t know. What happened in [br]the story about the baby?

0:02:35.170,0:02:37.548
[br]It got ripped in half.

0:02:37.548,0:02:39.143
[br]What?

0:02:39.143,0:02:41.373
[br]They rip the baby in half.

0:02:41.373,0:02:43.691
[br]Who ripped a baby in half?

0:02:43.691,0:02:45.163
[br]The parents.

0:02:45.163,0:02:48.687
They were fighting and then they [br]literally ripped the baby in half.

0:02:54.075,0:02:56.089
Oh, that’s Raymond Carver.

0:02:56.089,0:02:57.868
Yeah, that’s what I said.

0:02:57.868,0:03:01.125
No, Raymond Chandler [br]wrote the story about Tony.

0:03:01.125,0:03:05.918
Raymond Carver wrote [br]the one about the baby.

0:03:05.918,0:03:07.444
[br]Oh.

0:03:09.124,0:03:14.561
Okay, let’s just take five minutes,[br]read the first page.

0:03:14.561,0:03:17.252
[br]Try to figure out what Tony’s job is.

0:03:17.252,0:03:19.957
[br]Okay.

0:03:39.040,0:03:40.560
(A phone beep)

0:03:50.784,0:03:54.256
Hey, are you still there?

0:03:54.256,0:03:57.364
Are you still there?

0:03:57.364,0:03:59.557
[br]Bro, are you still there?

0:03:59.557,0:04:03.877
Yeah, yeah, I’m still here.

0:04:03.877,0:04:06.044
[br]I figured out what Tony does.

0:04:06.044,0:04:07.802
[br]Okay. What does he do?

0:04:07.802,0:04:09.311
[br]He’s a prostitute.

0:04:09.311,0:04:12.602
[br]What? No, he’s a detective.

0:04:12.602,0:04:15.204
[br]It says he’s the house dick.

0:04:15.204,0:04:17.201
[br]What?

0:04:17.201,0:04:20.718
Right here. Tony says, [br]“I wasn't kidding you, Miss Cressy.

0:04:20.718,0:04:23.511
I think Mozart was the [br]greatest man that ever lived.”

0:04:23.511,0:04:28.270
And Miss Cressy says, “I thought you [br]were the house dick,” and then it says,

0:04:28.270,0:04:34.276
[br]“She put her head back on a pillow.”

0:04:34.276,0:04:37.538
She put her head back on a pillow [br]because they just had sex.

0:04:37.538,0:04:41.697
Tony’s a prostitute who has sex with [br]people so he can stay at the hotel for free.

0:04:41.697,0:04:43.850
[br]He’s the house dick.

0:04:43.850,0:04:47.677
She's surprised because he's talking [br]about Mozart, because he’s a prostitute

0:04:47.677,0:04:52.998
So why would he know who Mozart is? [br]Prostitutes don’t listen to Mozart.

0:04:57.197,0:05:01.857
He’s a hotel detective.

0:05:01.857,0:05:03.441
What?

0:05:03.441,0:05:06.213
He’s the in-house detective for the hotel.

0:05:06.213,0:05:09.258
In the thirties, they used [br]to call detectives “dicks.”

0:05:09.258,0:05:11.129
Well, how was I supposed to know that?

0:05:11.129,0:05:14.428
I don't know, context clues?

0:05:19.447,0:05:22.801
[br]Dude, are you even interested in this?

0:05:22.801,0:05:24.314
Honestly?

0:05:24.314,0:05:27.349
Honesty is the best policy.

0:05:27.349,0:05:30.340
[br]I just… do you really wanna know?

0:05:30.340,0:05:33.967
[br]Yes. I don’t enjoy watching you suffer.

0:05:33.967,0:05:37.188
[br]Do you really want to be here?

0:05:37.188,0:05:41.465
[br]No. My parents made me come. I’m sorry.

0:05:41.465,0:05:45.699
[br]Don’t apologize. It’s fine.

0:05:45.699,0:05:49.567
[br]But… where would you rather be right now?

0:05:49.567,0:05:50.832
[br]Honestly?

0:05:50.832,0:05:53.592
You keep saying that. [br]Do you usually lie to people?

0:05:53.592,0:05:58.174
No. I dunno, I feel like [br]people would laugh at me.

0:05:58.174,0:06:00.722
[br]I’m not gonna laugh at you.

0:06:00.722,0:06:03.235
Where would you rather be? Right now.

0:06:04.695,0:06:09.846
[br]I wanna play “Find the Invisible Cow.”

0:06:09.846,0:06:12.093
[br]What is that?

0:06:12.093,0:06:15.610
[br]It’s a game you play online.

0:06:15.610,0:06:19.575
There’s a blank screen with a [br]cow hidden somewhere on it.

0:06:19.575,0:06:22.362
[br]And you have to look for the cow.

0:06:22.362,0:06:24.901
And the game shouts “Cow” [br]at you the whole time.

0:06:24.901,0:06:32.045
And the closer you get to the cow, [br]the louder the shouting gets.

0:06:32.045,0:06:40.488
[br]Cow, cow, cow.

0:06:40.488,0:06:47.394
[br]And when you find the cow, it moos.

0:06:47.394,0:06:51.546
[br]Do you play this online with other people?

0:06:51.546,0:06:53.833
[br]No.

0:06:53.833,0:06:58.464
Good. Good, sometimes [br]it’s good to be alone.

0:06:58.464,0:07:01.071
Well, it sounds like [br]you’d rather be doing that.

0:07:01.071,0:07:07.870
So... go do what makes you happy. [br]Go find your invisible cow.

0:07:07.870,0:07:10.262
[br]But I can’t. My parents -

0:07:10.262,0:07:12.966
[br]Yes you can. You have free will.

0:07:12.966,0:07:15.019
[br]You can do whatever you want.

0:07:15.019,0:07:17.859
But I still have to write the paper.

0:07:17.859,0:07:23.525
[br]No, you don’t. I’m gonna do you a favor.

0:07:23.525,0:07:26.052
I already know the story, [br]I know what it’s about,

0:07:26.052,0:07:29.278
and I know what your [br]professor’s gonna wanna read.

0:07:29.278,0:07:35.326
Why don’t I just do the paper for you?

0:07:35.326,0:07:38.525
[br]Really? You’d do that for me?

0:07:38.525,0:07:42.038
[br]Yeah. I would.

0:07:42.038,0:07:43.620
[br]For free?

0:07:43.620,0:07:46.020
Fuck no. Twenty-five [br]bucks a page, double-spaced.

0:07:46.020,0:07:49.398
You can have it by Friday, guaranteed A.[br]What do you say?

0:07:52.228,0:07:55.970
Uh, are you still there?

0:08:01.642,0:08:04.403
Annie, are you using the microwave?

0:08:04.403,0:08:06.957
[br]Yeah, I’m making Hot Pockets!

0:08:06.957,0:08:09.688
Well it’s messing with the Wi-Fi.

0:08:09.688,0:08:12.069
[br]Well then pay the fucking Wi-Fi bill!

0:08:12.069,0:08:14.935
I can’t, because you keep [br]fucking up my deals!

0:08:14.935,0:08:16.266
[br]Fuck you!

0:08:16.266,0:08:18.119
Yeah, fuck you too.[br](A phone ringtone)

0:08:18.119,0:08:19.465
[br]Hey, George.

0:08:19.465,0:08:22.491
[br]Hey, David. How’s your dad? Still kicking?

0:08:22.491,0:08:24.964
[br]Kicking and screaming. How’s yours?

0:08:24.964,0:08:28.079
He’s… dead. You know this.

0:08:28.079,0:08:32.397
Yeah, I just wanted to make sure [br]he didn’t come back as a zombie.

0:08:32.397,0:08:34.262
[br]If he does, I’ll let you know.

0:08:34.262,0:08:36.839
[br]You can be his first meal.

0:08:36.839,0:08:38.519
Listen, David, what’s up?

0:08:38.519,0:08:41.962
I saw you just got disconnected [br]from your last student?

0:08:41.962,0:08:45.205
Yeah, I’m sorry. [br]My roommate is making Hot Pockets.

0:08:45.205,0:08:47.884
That’s great. [br]I love anything with cheese in it,

0:08:47.884,0:08:50.564
but what does that [br]have to do with anything?

0:08:50.564,0:08:52.742
The microwave messes [br]with the connection

0:08:52.742,0:08:54.920
and the Wi-Fi’s like [br]baby soft around here.

0:08:54.920,0:08:56.820
[br]“Baby soft”?

0:08:56.820,0:08:58.792
[br]It’s sensitive. It’s like a baby’s head.

0:08:58.792,0:09:01.112
You push it too hard, [br]it’s messed up for life.

0:09:01.112,0:09:03.607
[br]C’mon David, we talked about this.

0:09:03.607,0:09:06.602
[br]Oh God, your kids. I’m so sorry, George.

0:09:06.602,0:09:08.859
[br]I don’t have kids.

0:09:08.859,0:09:11.545
[br]You don’t? Oh my God, what happened?

0:09:11.545,0:09:14.925
David, the only kids I have are the [br]ones who come here for tutoring.

0:09:14.925,0:09:18.793
And right now one of [br]those kids is left unattended.

0:09:18.793,0:09:21.839
What kind of father [br]leaves their kid unattended?

0:09:21.839,0:09:24.473
[br]Are we talking about my dad or yours?

0:09:24.473,0:09:28.428
It makes me a bad dad. [br]You think I wanna be a bad dad?

0:09:28.428,0:09:30.915
One of those dads who leaves [br]their kids in the car

0:09:30.915,0:09:33.723
while they pick up cigarettes [br]from the Mini Mart?

0:09:33.723,0:09:35.653
[br]So we’re talking about my dad.

0:09:35.653,0:09:40.864
David. I trusted you and [br]you left that kid hanging.

0:09:40.864,0:09:44.140
You left that kid hanging [br]like Michael Jackson.

0:09:44.140,0:09:47.481
You know what’s gonna happen to that [br]kid if he doesn’t pass his exams?

0:09:47.481,0:09:50.861
[br]He’s… gonna… join the army?

0:09:50.861,0:09:54.569
[br]Worse. Didn’t you see today’s word?

0:09:55.579,0:09:57.182
[br]No.

0:09:57.182,0:10:09.460
EDUCATION: Evil Dominates Uneducated Children [br]And Teens, Indoctrinating Only Negativity.

0:10:09.460,0:10:15.604
Did you just put “uneducated” [br]inside the word “education”?

0:10:15.604,0:10:20.701
Look, my point is: [br]I can’t run an online business

0:10:20.701,0:10:23.875
if my employees don‘t have a stable[br]Internet connection.

0:10:23.875,0:10:28.682
That’s like Mötley Crüe without Vince Neil. [br]You know what I mean?

0:10:28.682,0:10:31.325
[br]I think so?

0:10:31.325,0:10:33.162
So think about it from my end.

0:10:33.162,0:10:35.253
Do I get Vince back and [br]go double platinum?

0:10:35.253,0:10:39.190
Or do I hang on to John Corabi [br]and hope he finds his dick?

0:10:39.190,0:10:44.085
[br]I… I don’t know who John Corabi is.

0:10:44.085,0:10:46.852
[br]And what does that tell you?

0:10:46.852,0:10:49.955
[br]That I wasn’t born in the seventies?

0:10:49.955,0:10:53.342
Find your dick, or you’re out of the band.

0:10:53.342,0:10:55.874
[br]Can you find your dick, David?

0:10:55.874,0:11:00.505
I mean, I can look for it, but how [br]do I know for sure which one's mine?

0:11:00.505,0:11:03.809
Listen: treat your Wi-Fi [br]like a dog and get it fixed,

0:11:03.809,0:11:06.551
‘cause I’m tired of [br]seeing piss on the carpet.

0:11:06.551,0:11:10.909
I’m confused. [br]Am I finding a dick or cutting one off?

0:11:10.909,0:11:15.431
[br]Are we clear, David?

0:11:15.431,0:11:16.611
Beeeeeeeep.

0:11:16.611,0:11:18.789
[br]What the hell was that?

0:11:18.789,0:11:27.300
It’s a defibrillator. “Clear.”[br]Beeeeeeeep.

0:11:27.300,0:11:29.909
[br]Because we’re clear.

0:11:29.909,0:11:35.413
Just do what I ask you.

0:11:38.533,0:11:49.538
Beep. Beep. Beep. [br]Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

0:11:54.558,0:11:56.862
(Amy)[br]Have you looked for other jobs?

0:11:56.862,0:11:59.093
Yeah, but… they’re [br]not looking for me.

0:11:59.093,0:12:01.892
You’re a good writer. [br]Why would they not be looking for you?

0:12:01.892,0:12:05.891
Because they’re not looking for good writers. [br]They’re looking for good resumes.

0:12:05.891,0:12:08.227
[br]You need a resume to do creative writing?

0:12:08.227,0:12:10.194
[br]Not to do it, but, to get a job doing it?

0:12:10.194,0:12:12.410
Yeah. If you don’t have a [br]degree from Columbia

0:12:12.410,0:12:15.067
or an internship at The Onion [br]you’re basically fucked.

0:12:15.067,0:12:16.599
[br]At least you have a degree.

0:12:16.599,0:12:17.920
[br]Yeah. From U.U.

0:12:17.920,0:12:19.336
[br]You mean Q.U.?

0:12:19.336,0:12:21.197
[br]No. U.U. Unknown University.

0:12:21.197,0:12:22.978
That’s what everyone there calls it.

0:12:22.978,0:12:24.338
It's not that bad.

0:12:24.338,0:12:29.124
It’s not like University of Phoenix where [br]nobody knows if it really exists or not.

0:12:29.124,0:12:31.016
[br]Nobody knows Q.U. exists at all.

0:12:31.016,0:12:32.991
They see it on a resume [br]and they’re like,

0:12:32.991,0:12:36.847
“Oh, is that in England? [br]Did you study abroad?”

0:12:38.055,0:12:40.991
[br]Thank God you didn’t go to acting school.

0:12:40.991,0:12:43.649
I might as well have I should [br]have just skipped college;

0:12:43.649,0:12:46.018
I’d be doing just [br]as well as I am now.

0:12:46.018,0:12:48.112
That's easy for you to say.

0:12:48.112,0:12:49.437
[br]It’s easy ‘cause it’s true.

0:12:49.437,0:12:51.606
Some people just shouldn’t [br]be forced to go to college

0:12:51.606,0:12:53.335
and take classes they don’t [br]actually need.

0:12:53.335,0:12:55.660
I had this student today [br]reading fucking detective fiction.

0:12:55.660,0:12:57.219
[br]How is that gonna help him?

0:12:57.219,0:12:59.678
Why is he wasting his time when [br]he could be doing something else?

0:12:59.678,0:13:01.649
[br]Like what?

0:13:01.649,0:13:04.422
I don’t know. Something that [br]actually makes him happy?

0:13:04.422,0:13:07.689
[br]Uh-huh. How much did you charge him?

0:13:07.689,0:13:10.591
Look, seventy-five dollars is [br]reasonable for a three-page paper.

0:13:10.591,0:13:13.564
It’s not reasonable when you’re [br]already being paid to tutor him.

0:13:13.564,0:13:16.595
No, no, no. It’s not reasonable for him to let [br]his parents pay me to tutor him for a

0:13:16.595,0:13:19.626
paper he’s just gonna buy from me anyway.

0:13:19.626,0:13:23.798
Thirty seconds ago you felt bad [br]for the guy; now it’s his fault?

0:13:23.798,0:13:25.476
[br]Whose fault is it?

0:13:25.476,0:13:31.192
Society’s. I don't know, I’m not the [br]one making this kid go to school.

0:13:31.192,0:13:33.105
But you are the one [br]that’s supposed to help him.

0:13:33.105,0:13:34.986
[br]I am helping him.

0:13:34.986,0:13:36.495
[br]You’re helping yourself, David.

0:13:36.495,0:13:39.531
Well, at least it’s going to [br]someone who needs it.

0:13:39.531,0:13:41.827
[br]So you admit you do need help.

0:13:41.827,0:13:44.385
[br]We all do. It runs in the family.

0:13:44.385,0:13:49.394
You're right about that one.

0:13:52.140,0:13:57.789
[br]Ask me how I’m doing.

0:13:57.789,0:13:59.214
[br]How are you?

0:13:59.214,0:14:00.719
[br]I’m shitty.

0:14:00.719,0:14:02.384
[br]Sorry. What’s up?

0:14:02.384,0:14:04.274
Phil’s not doing too good.

0:14:04.274,0:14:06.324
[br]He’s never doing well.

0:14:06.324,0:14:08.170
[br]Like health-wise.

0:14:08.170,0:14:09.174
[br]He’s never been healthy.

0:14:09.174,0:14:09.996
[br]He’s proud of it.

0:14:09.996,0:14:13.725
If you told him he was healthy he’d shoot [br]himself in the head just to prove you wrong.

0:14:13.725,0:14:15.754
[br]I think he’s really sick this time.

0:14:15.754,0:14:17.761
He’s been coughing up [br]some weird stuff, which…

0:14:17.761,0:14:20.693
you know, he always coughs up [br]weird stuff, but it used to be black,

0:14:20.693,0:14:23.399
[br]and then it was red, and now it’s still red

0:14:23.399,0:14:26.178
but it has, like, tints of blue [br]in it so it looks purplish,

0:14:26.178,0:14:29.004
[br]but there’s nothing on Web MD about that.

0:14:29.004,0:14:31.273
[br]What he’d do? Drink out of a Porta Potty?

0:14:31.273,0:14:33.950
I don’t know, but he's gonna need one too.

0:14:33.950,0:14:37.640
The other day he almost [br]had an accident in Key Food.

0:14:37.640,0:14:40.499
Did he run over another cashier?

0:14:40.499,0:14:44.082
David, I’m serious. He’s not old [br]enough to be incontinent.

0:14:44.082,0:14:46.983
I wanna take him to see a doctor, but -

0:14:46.983,0:14:49.665
Don't take him to a doctor.[br]He doesn’t like doctors.

0:14:49.665,0:14:53.975
No, he likes doctors, [br]he just doesn’t trust doctors.

0:14:53.975,0:14:56.121
[br]He’s very specific about this.

0:14:56.121,0:14:59.842
“I’ll have a drink with a doctor, but [br]not if he’s gonna tell me how much to drink.”

0:14:59.842,0:15:01.667
[br]He doesn’t like being told what to do.

0:15:01.667,0:15:04.082
He doesn’t like taking [br]other people’s advice.

0:15:04.082,0:15:08.902
[br]Even when he knows they’re right.

0:15:08.902,0:15:10.431
[br]At me.

0:15:10.431,0:15:13.199
He’s just as stubborn as you are too, so,

0:15:13.199,0:15:15.427
just be prepared if [br]something happens, okay?

0:15:15.427,0:15:16.486
[br]Are you kidding?

0:15:16.486,0:15:18.463
I’ve been waiting for this [br]for twenty-five years.

0:15:18.463,0:15:22.218
I have an expired bag of popcorn [br]chosen specifically for this moment.

0:15:22.218,0:15:24.930
[br]Get another one. I’ll join you.

0:15:24.930,0:15:25.800
[br]Why do you even take care of him?

0:15:25.800,0:15:27.671
[br]Are you gonna take care of him?

0:15:27.671,0:15:29.771
[br]No, I’d dump his ass on the sidewalk.

0:15:29.771,0:15:32.283
You’re practically on [br]the sidewalk yourself.

0:15:32.283,0:15:34.708
[br]I mean, can’t you just put him somewhere?

0:15:34.708,0:15:36.511
[br]Like a nursing home?

0:15:36.511,0:15:37.671
[br]No, a funeral home.

0:15:37.671,0:15:40.983
Maybe they’ll think he’s already [br]dead and box him up right there.

0:15:40.983,0:15:42.815
He won’t go to either.

0:15:42.815,0:15:45.580
He hates old people because [br]they remind him that he’s old,

0:15:45.580,0:15:49.830
and he hates dead people [br]because he’s jealous of them.

0:15:49.830,0:15:55.511
Anyway, as annoying as he is, I’d rather [br]have him be unhappy here than be unhappy

0:15:55.511,0:15:56.909
somewhere else.

0:15:56.909,0:15:58.721
[br]We owe him that much.

0:15:58.721,0:16:02.188
The only thing we owe him is a [br]bill for years of financial abuse.

0:16:02.188,0:16:06.210
I’m not saying he was Keanu [br]Reeves, but he was there for us.

0:16:06.210,0:16:09.154
Maybe we would have [br]been better off without him.

0:16:09.154,0:16:11.176
[br]Maybe we would have been worse.

0:16:11.176,0:16:14.854
Well, you’re not the one with a shit [br]degree, living in a shit apartment,

0:16:14.854,0:16:16.254
working a shit job.

0:16:16.254,0:16:20.138
You could have no degree, [br]no apartment, and no job.

0:16:20.138,0:16:23.670
Okay, but who is the [br]common denominator here?

0:16:23.670,0:16:25.500
[br]How is any of that Phil’s fault?

0:16:25.500,0:16:27.748
[br]If it’s not his fault, then whose is it?

0:16:27.748,0:16:33.451
I dunno, “society”? I’m not the one blaming [br]other people for how my life turned out.

0:16:33.451,0:16:35.202
[br]I don’t blame other people.

0:16:35.202,0:16:36.372
[br]You just blamed him.

0:16:36.372,0:16:38.487
I said “other people.” [br]Phil’s not a person.

0:16:38.487,0:16:41.331
Five minutes ago you were giving me [br]a list of reasons why other

0:16:41.331,0:16:43.396
people won’t hire you.

0:16:43.396,0:16:45.857
They won’t hire me because [br]my resume looks like shit,

0:16:45.857,0:16:48.128
and my resume looks like shit [br]because Phil fucked me up.

0:16:48.128,0:16:49.968
[br]So everything’s his fault?

0:16:49.968,0:16:51.966
[br]He’s the reason both of us are stuck.

0:16:51.966,0:16:53.457
[br]He’s the reason we don’t have a -

0:16:53.457,0:16:55.280
[br]Who said I felt stuck? I never said that.

0:16:55.280,0:16:56.364
[br]You’re stuck taking care of him.

0:16:56.364,0:16:58.500
[br]I don’t mind taking care of him.

0:16:58.500,0:16:59.838
[br]Well, five years down the line, you might.

0:16:59.838,0:17:01.868
If he even lives that long.

0:17:01.868,0:17:03.673
[br]We should all be so lucky.

0:17:03.673,0:17:06.260
You can’t keep using Phil as [br]an excuse to do nothing.

0:17:06.260,0:17:08.169
David, you’re an adult.

0:17:08.169,0:17:10.566
You’re not trapped at home like [br]some SoundCloud rapper.

0:17:10.566,0:17:12.870
[br]You can make choices.

0:17:12.870,0:17:13.253
[br]What choices?

0:17:13.253,0:17:15.748
Choosing between paying for my WiFi [br]so I can keep my job,

0:17:15.748,0:17:17.706
or paying for my rent so I have [br]a place to live?

0:17:17.706,0:17:21.915
Choosing to apply to a different job, [br]instead of talking yourself out of it.

0:17:21.915,0:17:24.148
[br]I talk myself out of embarrassing myself.

0:17:24.148,0:17:25.623
[br]It’s called having dignity.

0:17:25.623,0:17:27.207
Something I didn't get from Phil.

0:17:27.207,0:17:30.373
“Dignity?” David, you sell term [br]papers to college students.

0:17:30.373,0:17:32.410
[br]That’s a matter of integrity, not dignity.

0:17:32.410,0:17:34.501
[br]I do not have integrity.

0:17:34.501,0:17:39.813
Are you gonna blame that on Phil, [br]too? The man is dying, David.

0:17:39.813,0:17:42.466
[br]Yeah, well it’s about fucking time.

0:17:46.686,0:17:50.656
You know, you have never [br]had to bathe him because he

0:17:50.656,0:17:52.384
can't stand in the shower by himself.

0:17:52.384,0:17:53.459
[br]Oh my God.

0:17:53.459,0:17:55.918
No. You keep talking about how [br]much he fucked up your life,

0:17:55.918,0:17:59.440
but you don't have to put his dinner [br]in the blender because he can’t

0:17:59.440,0:18:00.938
chew anything anymore.

0:18:00.938,0:18:03.564
You don’t see the look of embarrassment [br]on his face when he has an accident

0:18:03.564,0:18:05.796
and he cries because he feels like a child.[br]- Can I just say something

0:18:05.796,0:18:09.639
You don’t know what it feels like to be [br]responsible for someone else.

0:18:09.639,0:18:12.945
All you’ve ever had to do was be responsible [br]for yourself, and you can’t even do that right.

0:18:12.945,0:18:15.210
[br]Can I just say one thing?

0:18:15.210,0:18:15.846
[br]What?

0:18:15.846,0:18:19.801
[br]Nobody is asking you to do all of that.

0:18:21.161,0:18:23.398
[br]Fuck you.

0:18:33.095,0:18:36.353
(A dial tone)

0:18:36.353,0:18:38.232
[br]What?

0:18:38.232,0:18:40.910
[br]Okay, maybe I shouldn’t have said that.

0:18:40.910,0:18:42.342
[br]Uh-huh.

0:18:42.342,0:18:44.308
[br]But I do believe honesty is the best pol-

0:18:44.308,0:18:47.270
[br]Oh, shut the fuck up.

0:18:47.270,0:18:48.840
(The line goes dead)

0:18:57.761,0:18:59.851
(An eerie wind sound)

0:19:10.882,0:19:12.842
(An announcer)[br]Most people wouldn't bike

0:19:12.842,0:19:16.183
through a Native American reservation[br]without expressly written consent

0:19:16.183,0:19:17.733
of the local tribe.

0:19:17.733,0:19:19.833
But we're not most people

0:19:19.833,0:19:21.807
How are we gonna [br]get out of this jam?

0:19:21.807,0:19:25.433
Find out on the new season[br]of 'Two White Guys'

0:19:25.433,0:19:28.493
(Static)

0:19:48.281,0:19:54.340
Annie, are you using the microwave?

0:19:54.340,0:19:56.775
[br]Annie!

0:19:58.390,0:20:00.350
[br]Annie!

0:20:00.350,0:20:04.784
[br]Who’s Annie?

0:20:11.789,0:20:13.885
(Annie)[br]What do you want?

0:20:13.885,0:20:19.436
[br]I’m playing Stardew Valley.

0:20:19.436,0:20:22.400
Dude, what the fuck do you want?

0:20:22.400,0:20:25.915
Nothing, I just saw a spider.

0:20:25.915,0:20:28.622
[br]Oh my God! Did you kill her?

0:20:28.622,0:20:31.250
[br]Yeah, she’s dead.

0:20:31.250,0:20:36.213
[br]What the fuck, man? Insect life is sacred!

0:20:36.213,0:20:39.063
[br]It was an accident.

0:20:39.063,0:20:42.427
[br]Are you sure she’s dead?

0:20:42.427,0:20:46.348
[br]Yes. I’m sorry, Annie.

0:20:46.348,0:20:53.391
[br]Okay, let me in. I’ll bury her.

0:20:53.391,0:20:59.253
[br]I can’t. I need to be alone right now.

0:20:59.253,0:21:01.330
[br]Why?

0:21:01.330,0:21:07.456
I have to pray.

0:21:07.456,0:21:10.888
[br]I didn’t know you were religious?

0:21:10.888,0:21:14.879
[br]Yeah, I’m making a change.

0:21:14.879,0:21:17.459
[br]Look, I really need to repent.

0:21:17.459,0:21:23.400
Yeah, I’m sorry. Just bury her outside [br]when you’re done, okay?

0:21:23.400,0:21:24.789
[br]I’ll leave a trowel out.

0:21:24.789,0:21:27.220
[br]I will. Thank you, Annie.

0:21:29.360,0:21:32.863
[br]God bless you, David.

0:21:32.863,0:21:37.399
[br]God bless you too, Annie.

0:21:42.380,0:21:44.576
[br]That’s Annie.

0:21:44.576,0:21:47.501
I see. I should probably [br]introduce myself.

0:21:47.501,0:21:48.783
[br]You’re me.

0:21:48.783,0:21:50.730
Good. I’m glad we [br]got that out of the way.

0:21:50.730,0:21:53.667
Or you’re a deepfake and [br]someone is trying to hack me.

0:21:53.667,0:21:56.884
Okay, maybe we didn’t get that [br]out of the way. Let me explain.

0:21:56.884,0:21:59.878
You don’t need to. Whoever you [br]are, get the fuck off my TV.

0:21:59.878,0:22:01.820
[br]I don’t have any money.

0:22:01.820,0:22:03.800
Honestly, if you wanna steal [br]my identity, just go for it.

0:22:03.800,0:22:05.299
[br]I don’t wanna be myself anyway.

0:22:05.299,0:22:06.444
Are we good?

0:22:06.444,0:22:07.567
[br]Are you good?

0:22:07.567,0:22:09.275
[br]No, my fucking TV is talking to me.

0:22:09.275,0:22:11.799
Do you wanna maybe take[br]a moment to calm down?

0:22:11.799,0:22:14.619
I would really prefer if you [br]just got the fuck off my TV.

0:22:14.619,0:22:16.591
Okay, well, that’s not [br]gonna happen, David.

0:22:16.591,0:22:18.915
I have something important [br]to talk to you about.

0:22:18.915,0:22:20.899
Great. Call my secretary. [br]Make an appointment.

0:22:20.899,0:22:23.147
[br]We’ll do lunch. Get the fuck off my TV.

0:22:23.147,0:22:25.475
You can’t just keep telling [br]me to get the fuck off your TV.

0:22:25.475,0:22:28.287
Is that what I said? I'm sorry.

0:22:28.287,0:22:31.173
What I meant to say was, [br]“Get the fuck off my TV.”

0:22:31.173,0:22:32.926
[br]David. I understand that this is bizarre,

0:22:32.926,0:22:36.139
but this is happening whether [br]you like it or not.

0:22:36.139,0:22:38.995
So can you calm down, and [br]just give me a moment to explain?

0:22:45.175,0:22:47.144
[br]I’m calling the police.

0:22:47.144,0:22:49.546
[br]I can help you change your life.

0:22:49.546,0:22:51.212
[br]Sure. How much do I send you?

0:22:51.212,0:22:53.807
Nothing. All I need is [br]your time and effort.

0:22:53.807,0:22:56.960
I already have work to do, which, you’re [br]kinda preventing me from doing right now.

0:22:56.960,0:23:00.170
You mean that cheap term paper [br]you’re writing for someone else?

0:23:00.170,0:23:01.587
So you’re spying on me, too?

0:23:01.587,0:23:04.890
Is it really spying if you’re [br]just watching yourself?

0:23:04.890,0:23:06.370
[br]You’re not me.

0:23:06.370,0:23:09.743
[br]Yes I am. And no I’m not.

0:23:09.743,0:23:11.487
[br]Are you confused?

0:23:11.487,0:23:16.464
David, I’m you, from an alternate [br]timeline, in the year twenty-thirty.

0:23:16.464,0:23:20.564
♪ (A foreboding chord) ♪

0:23:25.253,0:23:27.296
[br]So you’re from the future.

0:23:27.296,0:23:28.451
That's right.

0:23:28.451,0:23:29.737
[br]But not my future.

0:23:29.737,0:23:34.188
Yes. I’m a different David from a [br]different timeline that is parallel to yours.

0:23:34.188,0:23:36.349
And there are different [br]Davids in different timelines?

0:23:36.349,0:23:37.740
That's right.

0:23:37.740,0:23:38.526
[br]How many?

0:23:38.526,0:23:39.782
[br]More than we can imagine.

0:23:39.782,0:23:41.966
Every timeline’s different [br]from the last one.

0:23:41.966,0:23:44.821
It could be something big,[br]like the planets are made of chocolate,

0:23:44.821,0:23:47.937
or it could be small, [br]like Seth Rogen has two eyes.

0:23:47.937,0:23:49.981
[br]Seth Rogen does have two eyes.

0:23:49.981,0:23:51.922
[br]In this timeline he does.

0:23:51.922,0:23:56.290
Okay. And you must be from the timeline [br]where I’m completely fucking insane?

0:23:56.290,0:24:00.402
We’re in your timeline, David. [br]If anyone’s insane here, it’s you.

0:24:00.402,0:24:03.291
[br]I’m not entirely convinced that I’m not.

0:24:03.291,0:24:07.879
Okay, David… I literally have a [br]time-sensitive issue to discuss with you.

0:24:07.879,0:24:15.344
So can we just… tone down the defensive [br]sarcasm and accept what is happening?

0:24:19.185,0:24:20.581
[br]Prove it.

0:24:20.581,0:24:21.828
[br]Prove what?

0:24:21.828,0:24:24.302
Prove that you’re me. [br]Or, some version of me.

0:24:24.302,0:24:25.619
[br]I don’t have time for this.

0:24:25.619,0:24:27.712
[br]I thought you said you could time travel?

0:24:27.712,0:24:29.497
[br]I said I was from the future.

0:24:29.497,0:24:32.747
This is not “travel,” [br]this is telecommunication.

0:24:32.747,0:24:36.162
You know how much this costs on [br]my phone bill - you know what, fine.

0:24:36.162,0:24:37.889
[br]What do you want me to prove?

0:24:37.889,0:24:39.493
[br]Tell me something only I would know.

0:24:39.493,0:24:42.988
Okay. Your father is currently coughing [br]up something that looks like laundry detergent.

0:24:42.988,0:24:45.341
[br]You could’ve listened to my phone calls.

0:24:45.341,0:24:49.149
Fair. Uh… in high school, you wrote a short [br]story making fun of your music teacher,

0:24:49.149,0:24:52.412
but you got cold feet and didn’t [br]submit it to the school newspaper.

0:24:52.412,0:24:55.123
I actually did submit that paper.

0:24:55.123,0:25:00.759
Oh. See, the timelines are a little different. [br]How’d it go? Did they publish it?

0:25:00.759,0:25:04.733
No. They were not fans of the passage [br]where Mr. Kleio tried to count how many

0:25:04.733,0:25:06.912
trumpets he could fit inside himself.

0:25:06.912,0:25:09.453
Yeah, good thing I didn’t submit it then.

0:25:09.453,0:25:13.911
Okay, I got it. You jerked off to the [br]dance scene in Suspiria.

0:25:20.461,0:25:21.360
[br]Which one?

0:25:21.360,0:25:23.399
[br]We both know which one.

0:25:23.399,0:25:25.486
[br]Okay, you have my attention.

0:25:25.486,0:25:28.621
Can we proceed with the assumption [br]that I am you from a different timeline?

0:25:28.621,0:25:31.736
I will give you the benefit of the doubt [br]provided you do not tell

0:25:31.736,0:25:33.592
anyone what you know.

0:25:33.592,0:25:36.406
I wouldn’t do that. We’re on [br]the same side here, David.

0:25:36.406,0:25:38.115
Doesn’t feel like it.

0:25:38.115,0:25:40.648
Well, I need you on my side.

0:25:40.648,0:25:41.837
[br]I need your help.

0:25:41.837,0:25:43.132
[br]With what?

0:25:43.132,0:25:44.688
[br]I need to catch a murderer.

0:25:44.688,0:25:52.321
♪ (The foreboding chord) ♪

0:25:52.321,0:25:53.321
(A record scratch)

0:25:53.321,0:25:56.512
And why do you think I would be [br]the best person to help you with that?

0:25:56.512,0:25:58.368
I’ll explain that in a moment.

0:25:58.368,0:26:00.317
[br]David, I used to be a Temporal Agent.

0:26:00.317,0:26:03.594
You don’t know what they are yet, [br]but they will exist in your future.

0:26:03.594,0:26:07.533
Our job is to regulate and control [br]the usage of Temporal Technology,

0:26:07.533,0:26:09.107
also known as TempTech.

0:26:09.107,0:26:12.108
It’s what you probably call [br]time travel technology.

0:26:12.108,0:26:15.532
We would call it that, but an [br]interdimensional tourism company

0:26:15.532,0:26:17.223
kinda beat us to the patent rights.

0:26:17.223,0:26:18.712
[br]So it’s TempTech.

0:26:18.712,0:26:20.252
[br]Okay. TempTech.

0:26:20.252,0:26:21.882
[br]Sounds made up, but I believe you.

0:26:21.882,0:26:25.672
A couple years ago, we started seeing [br]videos of murders posted on TubeYou.

0:26:25.672,0:26:26.620
[br]TubeYou?

0:26:26.620,0:26:28.409
[br]TubeYou. You guys don’t have TubeYou?

0:26:28.409,0:26:30.502
[br]I think it’s called YouTube here.

0:26:30.502,0:26:32.276
[br]Oh. That’s weird.

0:26:32.276,0:26:35.971
Anyway, we started seeing [br]videos of murders online.

0:26:35.971,0:26:37.225
[br]But not just any murders.

0:26:37.225,0:26:38.265
[br]What, like snuff films?

0:26:38.265,0:26:39.500
[br]No.

0:26:39.500,0:26:40.193
[br]Murder porn?

0:26:40.193,0:26:40.913
[br]No.

0:26:40.913,0:26:42.274
[br]Cannibalism?

0:26:42.274,0:26:44.674
[br]No. Maybe it’s better if I show you -

0:26:44.674,0:26:47.652
No, no, no, no, no, no. [br]I would rather not watch a murder.

0:26:47.652,0:26:49.714
[br]Squeamish.

0:26:49.714,0:26:50.924
[br]So was I.

0:26:50.924,0:26:51.828
[br]You’ll get over it.

0:26:51.828,0:26:54.194
[br]These videos show murders across time.

0:26:54.194,0:26:58.111
Someone got access to TempTech and [br]is using it to leap across time

0:26:58.111,0:26:59.854
and murder [br]people in the past.

0:26:59.854,0:27:01.205
Wouldn’t that change the future?

0:27:01.205,0:27:03.324
[br]Like, in that shitty Ashton Kutcher movie?

0:27:03.324,0:27:04.783
[br]The Fruit Fly Effect.

0:27:04.783,0:27:06.316
[br]The Butterfly Effect.

0:27:06.316,0:27:08.498
Yeah, whatever. [br]It’s terrible in my timeline too.

0:27:08.498,0:27:10.480
But surprisingly accurate. [br]Let me explain.

0:27:10.480,0:27:12.571
You keep saying you’re [br]gonna explain things.

0:27:12.571,0:27:14.814
You just met someone [br]from an alternate timeline.

0:27:14.814,0:27:16.919
You didn’t think there’d be [br]a huge exposition dump?

0:27:16.919,0:27:18.995
Yeah, but don’t you have a [br]Powerpoint for this or something?

0:27:18.995,0:27:23.252
Powerpoints? Where we’re going, [br]we don’t need Powerpoints.

0:27:23.252,0:27:25.851
[br]Back to the Future. Surprising.

0:27:25.851,0:27:28.822
[br]What? No, that’s from Blade Runner.

0:27:28.822,0:27:30.752
[br]What the hell is Back to the Future?

0:27:30.752,0:27:35.702
Never mind. Just listen. Let’s say you [br]have access to TempTech.

0:27:35.702,0:27:36.518
[br]Okay.

0:27:36.518,0:27:40.601
[br]If you could go back in time and kill anyone, who would you kill?

0:27:40.601,0:27:41.465
[br]Adam.

0:27:41.465,0:27:42.455
[br]What?

0:27:42.455,0:27:44.850
I’m kidding. Hitler. [br]I’d go back and kill Hitler.

0:27:44.850,0:27:46.655
[br]Right. Most people would.

0:27:46.655,0:27:48.990
But you can’t actually do that.

0:27:48.990,0:27:49.967
Yeah. It’s called a grandfather paradox.

0:27:49.967,0:27:51.628
If went back and killed someone you'd be

0:27:51.628,0:27:57.950
erasing the reason you went [br]back in time in the first place

0:27:57.950,0:28:00.095
[br]I read a lot of sci-fi.

0:28:00.095,0:28:03.378
That's exactly right. If you [br]killed Hitler in the past,

0:28:03.378,0:28:06.662
you’d be erasing the reason you [br]went back in time in the first place.

0:28:06.662,0:28:09.759
Right, so you can’t kill [br]anyone in the past.

0:28:09.759,0:28:13.227
Well, that’s what you’d think, [br]but the video says otherwise.

0:28:13.227,0:28:14.417
[br]Video of what?

0:28:14.417,0:28:15.633
[br]Of Hitler’s murder.

0:28:15.633,0:28:16.826
[br]Hitler shot himself.

0:28:16.826,0:28:18.718
[br]No, he didn’t.

0:28:18.718,0:28:22.199
Dude, this isn’t gonna be [br]some Tupac conspiracy shit, is it?

0:28:22.199,0:28:25.180
No, it’s not a conspiracy. [br]This is what actually happened.

0:28:25.180,0:28:27.110
[br]That’s not what Wikipedia says.

0:28:27.110,0:28:29.244
[br]Wikipedia is not fact.

0:28:29.244,0:28:33.801
Wikipedia is an observation [br]made and recorded by humans.

0:28:33.801,0:28:36.861
Wikipedia is what we know, [br]and what we think we know.

0:28:36.861,0:28:39.310
[br]And Wikipedia was wrong.

0:28:39.310,0:28:42.312
We have video evidence that [br]Adolf Hitler, as well as dozens

0:28:42.312,0:28:45.587
of other historical figures, [br]were murdered.

0:28:45.587,0:28:47.363
[br]All by the same person.

0:28:47.363,0:28:51.786
[br]That’s not possible.

0:28:51.786,0:28:53.620
[br]It would cause a grandfather paradox.

0:28:53.620,0:28:55.564
[br]The killer didn’t change the past.

0:28:55.564,0:28:59.320
He already killed his victims; [br]he just didn’t know it yet.

0:28:59.320,0:29:00.346
[br]Nobody knew it.

0:29:00.346,0:29:03.191
People in the past had already come [br]up with reasons to explain

0:29:03.191,0:29:06.347
why these deaths occurred. [br]The killer didn’t change the past.

0:29:07.778,0:29:09.622
[br]He caused it.

0:29:09.622,0:29:11.488
[br]… so he killed Hitler?

0:29:11.488,0:29:12.819
[br]Yes.

0:29:12.819,0:29:15.562
The video is taken from Hitler’s [br]office in the Führerbunker .

0:29:15.562,0:29:18.777
Hitler and his wife, Eva Braun, [br]are both restrained.

0:29:18.777,0:29:22.598
The killer forces Braun to eat [br]a cyanide pill as Hitler watches.

0:29:22.598,0:29:25.538
Then he feeds Hitler a bullet [br]sandwich with his own pistol.

0:29:25.538,0:29:28.103
So Hitler’s death was staged [br]to look like a suicide?

0:29:28.103,0:29:31.255
Nobody would have known, because [br]Hitler signed a last will two days earlier.

0:29:31.255,0:29:34.131
Everyone around him knew he was [br]going to kill himself, so they didn’t

0:29:34.131,0:29:36.167
think to look for evidence.

0:29:36.167,0:29:38.715
But even if they did, they [br]wouldn’t have found anything.

0:29:38.715,0:29:40.898
The timeline can’t allow [br]for an anachronism.

0:29:40.898,0:29:43.208
So… the timeline hides [br]evidence for this guy?

0:29:43.208,0:29:46.590
[br]That’s right. He can kill with impunity,

0:29:46.590,0:29:49.106
because it’s impossible for [br]him to be caught in the past.

0:29:49.106,0:29:51.558
But if he can only kill [br]people he’s already killed…

0:29:51.558,0:29:54.222
[br]how does he know who he’s already killed?

0:29:54.222,0:29:58.713
[br]He doesn’t. If he fails, he fails.

0:29:58.713,0:30:01.251
[br]He can’t get caught anyway.

0:30:01.251,0:30:07.492
But if he succeeds, he has video [br]evidence proving Wikipedia is wrong.

0:30:07.492,0:30:13.497
People who see video after video of [br]murders that supposedly never happened -

0:30:13.497,0:30:15.104
[br]they lose faith in Wikipedia.

0:30:15.104,0:30:18.748
They start to question reality.

0:30:18.748,0:30:23.682
How do you believe in anything when [br]there’s a madman slashing his way through

0:30:23.682,0:30:26.037
history who nobody can stop?

0:30:26.037,0:30:28.491
Nobody can even find?

0:30:40.170,0:30:44.101
I… I don’t know. I thought those [br]were rhetorical questions.

0:30:44.101,0:30:45.979
They were, I was letting the moment land.

0:30:45.979,0:30:48.219
Point is, this is much [br]bigger than just one killer.

0:30:48.219,0:30:50.395
So why doesn’t anyone [br]in your universe stop him?

0:30:50.395,0:30:53.428
Okay, first of all “timeline,” [br]not “universe.”

0:30:53.428,0:30:55.147
[br]“Timeline,” okay?

0:30:55.147,0:30:59.004
If we start using different words, this is [br]gonna get more confusing than it already is.

0:30:59.004,0:31:01.939
Second, we tried. When I was back [br]at the Temp Agency we -

0:31:01.939,0:31:03.810
[br]You worked at a temp agency?

0:31:03.810,0:31:08.158
The Temporal Agency. I was a Temporal [br]Agent. I said that before.

0:31:08.158,0:31:10.944
Oh, sorry, just had to clarify.

0:31:10.944,0:31:15.533
The Agency didn’t want to waste resources [br]trying to catch someone who couldn’t be caught.

0:31:15.533,0:31:19.530
The best they we could do was remove his [br]videos and suspend his Twitch channel.

0:31:19.530,0:31:25.718
But it doesn’t stop him, [br]and it’s not justice.

0:31:25.718,0:31:29.760
The Agency thought I was [br]fixated on the case.

0:31:29.760,0:31:31.942
[br]They say the killer just wants attention.

0:31:31.942,0:31:37.279
They think the problem will [br]go away if they just ignore it.

0:31:37.279,0:31:42.190
Even in the future, people [br]don’t learn from the past.

0:31:42.190,0:31:45.672
I’m the only one who wants [br]to do anything about this.

0:31:50.692,0:31:53.707
[br]You could ask me what my plan is.

0:31:53.707,0:31:55.257
[br]Tell me more.

0:31:55.257,0:31:59.969
Before I left the Agency, I managed to get [br]a hold of a new form of TempTech.

0:31:59.969,0:32:03.516
It was an experimental prototype that would [br]allow telecommunication between

0:32:03.516,0:32:08.904
two timelines over [br]a sixth dimensional plane.

0:32:08.904,0:32:12.475
Basically, the thing that [br]lets us talk right now.

0:32:12.475,0:32:13.181
[br]Okay.

0:32:13.181,0:32:14.357
[br]So I had a theory.

0:32:14.357,0:32:16.570
[br]I know I can’t find this guy,

0:32:16.570,0:32:19.687
I can’t catch him, and even if I did, [br]I wouldn’t be able to kill him.

0:32:19.687,0:32:23.122
I can’t go back in time and stop him [br]from getting access to TempTech,

0:32:23.122,0:32:25.490
because that would cause [br]a grandfather paradox.

0:32:25.490,0:32:28.154
So you want me to kill him [br]from my timeline.

0:32:28.154,0:32:29.307
Not just kill him.

0:32:29.307,0:32:30.364
[br]Erase him.

0:32:30.364,0:32:32.325
I need you to prevent [br]him from being born.

0:32:32.325,0:32:33.765
♪ (A foreboding chord) ♪

0:32:33.765,0:32:36.167
Why can’t you just come [br]here and do that yourself?

0:32:36.167,0:32:39.882
TempTech isn’t advanced enough to transfer [br]physical matter between timelines.

0:32:39.882,0:32:42.644
If I tried, I would most likely [br]just be spaghettified.

0:32:42.644,0:32:43.862
[br]Spaghettified?

0:32:43.862,0:32:48.113
Imagine a baby. Happy. [br]Healthy. Limbs intact.

0:32:48.113,0:32:49.037
Okay.

0:32:49.037,0:32:55.621
Now imagine that same baby being [br]pushed through a cheese grater.

0:32:55.621,0:32:59.352
The gravity created by a wormball [br]of that size would literally

0:32:59.352,0:33:02.126
tear the molecules out of my body.

0:33:02.126,0:33:06.749
Anyway, I can’t move between [br]timelines, but electrons can.

0:33:06.749,0:33:09.320
[br]That’s why I’m reaching out to you.

0:33:09.320,0:33:14.880
If we find out out who the killer is, you can [br]use TempTech to visit my timeline in the past

0:33:14.880,0:33:16.442
contact his parents, and prevent [br]them from meeting.

0:33:16.442,0:33:18.236
[br]It’s two steps.

0:33:18.236,0:33:22.790
We find out who he is, you place [br]a sixth-dimensional phone call.

0:33:22.790,0:33:23.739
And I sit and pray that it works.

0:33:23.739,0:33:25.874
[br]You don’t know if it’ll work.

0:33:25.874,0:33:29.152
It’s the only way I can think of to [br]escape a grandfather paradox.

0:33:29.152,0:33:33.955
But it wouldn’t. If you succeeded[br]you'd be erasing your own present.

0:33:33.955,0:33:39.388
That's right, but that’s [br]a risk I’m willing to take.

0:33:39.388,0:33:41.386
I have many questions.

0:33:41.386,0:33:43.204
[br]Like: why do I want your help?

0:33:43.204,0:33:45.903
You don’t know anything about [br]TempTech or serial killers.

0:33:45.903,0:33:49.617
You’re just a failed fiction writer with [br]a weakness for demonic dance scenes.

0:33:49.617,0:33:51.588
[br]Read my mind.

0:33:51.588,0:33:55.110
Sixth dimensional communication [br]isn’t an exact science... yet.

0:33:55.110,0:33:59.401
You can’t calibrate it in a way that you know [br]exactly what timeline you’re gonna end up in.

0:33:59.401,0:34:02.170
So I’ve been searching for the right David.

0:34:02.170,0:34:05.230
I couldn’t trust anyone but myself with this [br]information, so who better to ask?

0:34:05.230,0:34:08.236
I found Davids who were [br]interested in the science,

0:34:08.236,0:34:11.242
but too queasy to deal with the ethics of [br]erasing someone from existence.

0:34:11.242,0:34:15.428
I found Davids who couldn’t care less about [br]other people dying in a parallel timeline.

0:34:15.428,0:34:19.749
And then I found Davids who just… [br]weren’t cut out for it.

0:34:19.749,0:34:23.140
[br]And then I found you. And you were sad.

0:34:23.140,0:34:27.830
And you were disappointed in yourself, [br]the same way I’m disappointed in myself.

0:34:27.830,0:34:29.622
I knew you were someone who [br]needed a second chance.

0:34:29.622,0:34:32.383
You mean you thought you [br]could manipulate me.

0:34:32.383,0:34:38.180
No. David, if you do this, you’ll save the [br]lives of countless people in my timeline.

0:34:38.180,0:34:41.438
They’ll never know it, [br]but that doesn’t change the facts.

0:34:41.438,0:34:44.165
[br]History is just what’s recorded.

0:34:44.165,0:34:49.415
Your deeds matter, regardless of whether [br]anyone recognizes them or not.

0:34:49.415,0:34:52.974
So, no, I don’t want to manipulate you.

0:34:52.974,0:34:57.080
I want to motivate you to do [br]something selfless, something great.

0:34:57.080,0:34:59.030
[br]I think you want to do something great.

0:34:59.030,0:35:00.490
You were wrong.

0:35:00.490,0:35:02.204
[br]Look, I listened to your pitch.

0:35:02.204,0:35:06.392
You seem like an okay guy, and I’m not just [br]saying that because you remind me of myself.

0:35:06.392,0:35:11.154
[br]But I’m not your guy.

0:35:11.154,0:35:13.536
[br]You didn’t ask about what I said earlier.

0:35:13.536,0:35:15.543
[br]That I could help you change your life.

0:35:15.543,0:35:17.912
That’s because I know what false [br]advertising looks like.

0:35:17.912,0:35:22.492
Maybe you’re so used to being lied to [br]that you’ve stopped believing in the truth.

0:35:22.492,0:35:24.572
You’re not curious about [br]what I can offer you?

0:35:24.572,0:35:27.315
You’re gonna give me TempTech in [br]exchange for helping you.

0:35:27.315,0:35:30.354
That’s right. I can’t [br]physically send you a device,

0:35:30.354,0:35:33.181
but I can give you all the documents and [br]software you would need.

0:35:33.181,0:35:37.236
I also have a discount code for Skillshare [br]so you can learn about the engineering.

0:35:37.236,0:35:40.841
It’ll take a while to understand all of it, [br]but once you’re ready,

0:35:40.841,0:35:44.447
you can reach out to other Davids [br]across the sixth dimensional plane.

0:35:44.447,0:35:48.272
Once you find the right one you [br]can change your own timeline.

0:35:48.272,0:35:50.783
[br]You can change your past.

0:35:50.783,0:35:55.960
You know I knew this was a [br]scam, but... it’s worse.

0:35:55.960,0:35:58.867
[br]Find another David?

0:35:58.867,0:36:03.255
[br]This is just a fucking chain letter.

0:36:03.255,0:36:05.999
No wonder the Agency fired you

0:36:05.999,0:36:11.681
You’re just as insane as the [br]guy you’re obsessed with.

0:36:13.823,0:36:18.615
Cute. But I don’t blame you. [br]This is a lot to take in.

0:36:18.615,0:36:22.961
So I’m gonna come back [br]forty-eight hours from now -

0:36:22.961,0:36:24.121
[br]Don’t bother.

0:36:24.121,0:36:26.675
[br]And you can give me your answer then.

0:36:26.675,0:36:29.983
And David, when you’re [br]thinking about my offer,

0:36:29.983,0:36:33.947
remember this: I’m from [br]the year twenty-thirty.

0:36:33.947,0:36:36.692
Why do think I visited you in [br]the year twenty-twenty?

0:36:36.692,0:36:38.729
[br]Because you’re a masochist?

0:36:38.729,0:36:42.949
No. Well, yes, but, [br]that’s the reason why.

0:36:42.949,0:36:46.509
I visited your timeline [br]in the year twenty-thirty.

0:36:46.509,0:36:52.528
I looked around for you. [br]You weren’t there.

0:36:52.528,0:36:56.835
You need this more than you know.

0:37:16.409,0:37:22.827
(Typing)

0:38:00.890,0:38:03.840
(A dial tone)

0:38:21.846,0:38:24.236
(A phone ringing)

0:38:34.600,0:38:36.620
[br]Hey.

0:38:36.620,0:38:37.583
[br]You called?

0:38:37.583,0:38:39.371
[br]Yeah. Are you busy?

0:38:39.371,0:38:41.996
[br]I’m always busy, David. What do you want?

0:38:41.996,0:38:45.941
[br]I… kinda got a job offer.

0:38:45.941,0:38:48.738
[br]Oh? Where?

0:38:48.738,0:38:52.340
[br]It’s um… I can’t really talk about it.

0:38:52.340,0:38:54.400
[br]But you wanna talk about it.

0:38:54.400,0:38:55.202
[br]Yeah.

0:38:55.202,0:38:59.126
[br]Is it something I wouldn’t approve of?

0:38:59.126,0:39:01.149
[br]Like, writing American history textbooks?

0:39:01.149,0:39:02.658
[br]No, it’s not that bad.

0:39:02.658,0:39:04.403
[br]But I don’t know if you’d approve.

0:39:04.403,0:39:07.207
[br]I don’t even know if I approve.

0:39:07.207,0:39:12.462
Is it more ethical than selling term [br]papers to low-income college students?

0:39:12.462,0:39:15.250
[br]Yes. I think so.

0:39:15.250,0:39:17.268
[br]Does it pay well?

0:39:17.268,0:39:20.564
No, not really? Yes and no?

0:39:20.564,0:39:21.943
[br]So it doesn’t pay.

0:39:21.943,0:39:23.832
[br]Not money.

0:39:23.832,0:39:25.728
[br]So it’s an internship?

0:39:25.728,0:39:27.717
[br]Not exactly.

0:39:27.717,0:39:30.349
So is it a writing job?

0:39:30.349,0:39:34.433
No. But if I do well, they’ll let [br]me rewrite some stuff.

0:39:34.433,0:39:37.232
[br]So it’s a stepping stone.

0:39:37.232,0:39:40.133
Yeah, it’s definitely a step.

0:39:40.133,0:39:44.595
But you’re not sure if it’s a [br]step in the right direction?

0:39:44.595,0:39:47.786
Yeah, yeah, that’s it.

0:39:47.786,0:39:50.043
[br]Why do you feel that way?

0:39:50.043,0:39:53.666
It feels like I’m moving backwards.

0:39:53.666,0:39:57.616
Like I’m doing something [br]I’ve already done before.

0:39:57.616,0:39:59.287
[br]Are you going back to Pizza Pagoda?

0:39:59.287,0:40:00.108
[br]No.

0:40:00.108,0:40:02.709
Because I heard they [br]unionized the kitchen there.

0:40:02.709,0:40:04.347
[br]They get dental now.

0:40:04.347,0:40:07.921
They do?! I mean, uh - I’m not [br]going back to Pizza Pagoda.

0:40:07.921,0:40:13.163
I just… I need to find something else, [br]and this thing just kinda presented itself.

0:40:13.163,0:40:16.681
Well, don’t just take it because [br]it’s the first thing that came along.

0:40:16.681,0:40:20.237
Look what happened to that [br]guy that married Michelle Williams.

0:40:20.237,0:40:23.304
Well, I can’t just stay at the center. [br]It’s a dead end.

0:40:23.304,0:40:28.759
Why do you have to move backwards, [br]whatever that means?

0:40:28.759,0:40:33.102
I don’t know. It’s better than [br]staying stuck in the same spot.

0:40:33.102,0:40:35.330
[br]Do you remember Lenna?

0:40:35.330,0:40:37.704
[br]Yeah. Why?

0:40:37.704,0:40:45.678
They uh, they run a journalism site now.[br]Well, a music journalism site.

0:40:45.678,0:40:49.882
Yeah, they used to run a blog. [br]Uh, Listening with Len?

0:40:49.882,0:40:51.546
[br]They changed the name.

0:40:51.546,0:40:53.161
[br]Oh, thank God.

0:40:53.161,0:40:56.329
Anyway, they’re getting like, [br]solid traction on readership

0:40:56.329,0:40:58.947
and they’re looking to hire writers.

0:40:58.947,0:41:02.669
[br]Oh, I wouldn’t wanna do that.

0:41:02.669,0:41:05.517
Why not? You two worked together.

0:41:05.517,0:41:08.200
Yeah, that’s the problem. [br]They’ve seen me at work.

0:41:08.200,0:41:13.771
Well, writing is different from tutoring. [br]Do they think you’re a good writer?

0:41:13.771,0:41:14.928
[br]I don’t know.

0:41:14.928,0:41:17.562
Well, you should [br]submit and find out.

0:41:17.562,0:41:19.440
[br]Music journalism?

0:41:19.440,0:41:20.672
[br]You like music.

0:41:20.672,0:41:24.960
Everyone likes music. That doesn’t mean [br]everyone should write about it.

0:41:24.960,0:41:25.698
[br]Have you ever read Pitchfork ?

0:41:25.698,0:41:27.726
[br]Well, you wanted something different.

0:41:27.726,0:41:29.970
Well, it’s not the kind of [br]writing I wanna do.

0:41:29.970,0:41:32.940
Nobody starts out writing [br]what they wanna write.

0:41:32.940,0:41:36.260
Hemingway started out as a journalist.

0:41:36.260,0:41:39.379
Yeah, and he ended in [br]pieces on the kitchen floor.

0:41:39.379,0:41:42.194
Yeah, but that’s was because [br]he was a novelist.

0:41:42.194,0:41:46.639
Look, I’m not saying take the job [br]or I’ll disown you.

0:41:46.639,0:41:48.348
But it’s an alternative.

0:41:48.348,0:41:50.882
You shouldn’t have to move [br]backwards to move forward.

0:41:50.882,0:41:55.812
Sometimes you can move sideways.

0:41:55.812,0:41:59.984
Okay, I’ll think about it. Thank you.

0:41:59.984,0:42:02.516
Yeah, no problem.

0:42:08.899,0:42:10.699
[br]Ask me how I’m doing.

0:42:10.699,0:42:12.463
[br]Sorry. How are you?

0:42:12.463,0:42:14.537
[br]Still shitty.

0:42:14.537,0:42:17.712
[br]I, uh, I’m starting to plan.

0:42:17.712,0:42:19.499
[br]Plan?

0:42:19.499,0:42:20.886
Yeah, for Phil.

0:42:20.886,0:42:23.733
What? Like, getting toxins that [br]won’t show up on autopsy?

0:42:23.733,0:42:29.779
No, just making sure there’s [br]enough money. Just in case.

0:42:29.779,0:42:32.240
[br]Is it really that bad?

0:42:32.240,0:42:38.714
Yeah. He's coughing up more red, which [br]is better than purple, but still not good.

0:42:38.714,0:42:41.533
And he’s having more accidents.

0:42:41.533,0:42:44.433
I just feel like something bad's [br]gonna happen one day

0:42:44.433,0:42:46.120
and everything's gonna [br]go downhill from there.

0:42:46.120,0:42:47.711
[br]You’re gonna push him down a hill?

0:42:47.711,0:42:56.863
Can you be serious? Look, I think [br]you need to talk to him.

0:42:56.863,0:43:00.890
About what? Like finding [br]underwear that doesn’t stain?

0:43:00.890,0:43:04.426
I don’t know. Anything you [br]need to tell him.

0:43:04.426,0:43:06.622
I don’t think I have [br]anything to say to him.

0:43:06.622,0:43:09.544
Well, you don't know [br]that until you see him.

0:43:09.544,0:43:12.670
[br]When was the last time you were even here?

0:43:12.670,0:43:16.207
Uh… maybe like Feb...?

0:43:16.207,0:43:17.710
[br]Feb?

0:43:17.710,0:43:19.584
[br]Yeah, definitely Feb.

0:43:19.584,0:43:23.390
[br]Uh-huh. Feb of which year?

0:43:23.390,0:43:24.989
[br]Okay, it’s been a while.

0:43:24.989,0:43:28.410
Well, he can't go and see you, so…

0:43:28.410,0:43:36.601
Look, if I set up a chat between [br]you two, would you talk to him?

0:43:36.601,0:43:39.625
[br]Maybe convince him to see a doctor?

0:43:39.625,0:43:41.208
[br]He’s not gonna listen to me.

0:43:41.208,0:43:44.182
Well, he’s not listening to me. [br]And I’m the one that makes sense.

0:43:44.182,0:43:47.137
That’s because he only [br]understands sarcasm.

0:43:47.137,0:43:52.200
[br]Exactly. You speak the same language.

0:43:52.200,0:44:00.527
Look, you’re not giving him his[br]last rites. Just think about it, please?

0:44:00.527,0:44:03.470
You’re giving me a lot to think about.

0:44:03.470,0:44:06.250
I know. This must be so hard for you.

0:44:06.250,0:44:10.665
Oh, I have something to share with you.

0:44:10.665,0:44:13.231
[br]Is it a DoorDash coupon?

0:44:13.231,0:44:19.713
No. So I was going through [br]the photos in the attic.

0:44:19.713,0:44:23.460
'Cause I figured I should have some ready.

0:44:23.460,0:44:29.839
And I found this. [br]Uh, I’ll just send it to you.

0:44:29.839,0:44:30.839
(A phone beep)

0:44:36.829,0:44:40.550
Huh. I thought he got rid of them.

0:44:40.550,0:44:43.758
I thought so too. [br]At first I didn’t know who it was.

0:44:43.758,0:44:47.950
[br]Are we sure it’s her?

0:44:47.950,0:44:49.113
[br]Who else would it be?

0:44:49.113,0:44:51.110
[br]I don’t know. Maybe we should ask him.

0:44:51.110,0:44:53.170
Maybe you should ask him.

0:44:53.170,0:44:57.775
“Hey, haven’t seen you in two plus years. [br]Also, who is this bitch?!”

0:44:57.775,0:45:01.702
I dunno, she looks... different.

0:45:01.702,0:45:07.300
She’s probably around our age here. [br]Probably when they started dating.

0:45:07.300,0:45:11.780
Huh. If I looked like that, [br]I’d leave him too.

0:45:11.780,0:45:12.623
[br]She didn’t leave him. [br][br]

0:45:12.623,0:45:14.203
[br]Not the way he tells it.

0:45:14.203,0:45:18.405
He tells so many stories about it, [br]I don’t even know what to believe anymore.

0:45:18.405,0:45:20.180
[br]Maybe she’s still here.

0:45:20.180,0:45:23.136
We just can’t see her because [br]we’re blinded by all the lies.

0:45:23.136,0:45:29.370
You get so used to being lied to that [br]you stop believing in the truth.

0:45:29.370,0:45:32.539
That sounds like a really sad [br]Panic! At the Disco song.

0:45:32.539,0:45:35.272
[br]They’re all sad now.

0:45:36.127,0:45:37.847
(A phone ringtone)

0:45:37.847,0:45:40.209
Oh, shit, it’s George.

0:45:40.209,0:45:42.109
[br]Speak of the devil.

0:45:42.109,0:45:45.511
“I heard you were talking about other [br]writing opportunities, David.

0:45:45.511,0:45:48.542
The only thing you’ll be [br]writing is your own obituary.”

0:45:48.542,0:45:50.508
[br]Oh, shit. I gotta take this.

0:45:50.508,0:45:53.210
He’s probably pissed off [br]his kids or something.

0:45:53.210,0:45:56.751
Yeah, no problem. Bye!

0:45:56.751,0:46:00.761
Don’t rob your students of a [br]valuable learning experience!

0:46:00.761,0:46:04.929
[br][br]No. Bye.

0:46:04.929,0:46:07.300
[br]Hey, George. How’re the kids?

0:46:07.300,0:46:12.993
I don’t have - listen David, [br]you’re gonna love this.

0:46:12.993,0:46:16.395
I just got off the phone with [br]a student asking for a refund.

0:46:16.395,0:46:21.943
Get this. They said, and I quote, [br]“My tutor didn’t deliver.”

0:46:21.943,0:46:25.570
Ooh, “deliver.” Someone’s been [br]hitting Dictionary.com.

0:46:25.570,0:46:29.590
Right? So I tell him what [br]we always tell ‘em.

0:46:29.590,0:46:30.212
[br]What’d you tell him?

0:46:30.212,0:46:35.470
I told him to go take a hike [br]in the Black Hills Forest.

0:46:35.470,0:46:38.532
He might be a little too young [br]to understand that one.

0:46:38.532,0:46:43.146
[br]I know. That’s how I get away with it.

0:46:43.146,0:46:44.282
[br]But seriously.

0:46:44.282,0:46:50.955
I told them you tried your best and it just, [br]you know, probably wasn’t a good fit.

0:46:50.955,0:46:56.736
I told they could try another tutor [br]but they insist - they insist - on a refund.

0:46:56.736,0:47:01.758
[br]So what do I do in this situation?

0:47:01.758,0:47:04.984
Tell them we have a no refund policy [br]and we’ll see them in court.

0:47:04.984,0:47:09.214
That’s the thing. We don’t [br]have a no refund policy.

0:47:09.214,0:47:10.407
[br]We don’t?

0:47:10.407,0:47:14.006
No. I have a no refund policy.

0:47:14.006,0:47:16.281
What’s your policy, David?

0:47:16.281,0:47:19.889
My policy is the same as yours, George

0:47:19.889,0:47:24.742
Right. Your policy is the same [br]as mine because you work for me.

0:47:24.742,0:47:30.967
You provide services which are guaranteed [br]through my business establishment.

0:47:30.967,0:47:35.199
Right. So we have the same policy.

0:47:35.199,0:47:40.525
So what’s your policy when an [br]employee violates the policy?

0:47:42.385,0:47:45.261
Uh, what?

0:47:45.261,0:47:52.321
What’s your policy when an [br]employee violates the policy?

0:47:52.321,0:47:53.143
We - uh -

0:47:53.143,0:47:57.642
Not “we.” We don’t share policies.

0:47:57.642,0:48:01.456
I have my policy, and [br]you have your policy.

0:48:01.456,0:48:07.843
They may be the exact same policy, but [br]they’re separate policies nonetheless.

0:48:07.843,0:48:14.803
Now, I know what my policy is, [br]but I want to see your policy.

0:48:14.803,0:48:21.325
So what is your policy when [br]an employee violates the policy?

0:48:21.325,0:48:26.921
Uh, George, are you… [br]accusing me of something?

0:48:26.921,0:48:29.982
I’m just asking you [br]what your policy is.

0:48:29.982,0:48:33.631
But I don’t think you can tell me what your policy is,

0:48:33.631,0:48:36.210
because I don’t think [br]you actually have one.

0:48:36.210,0:48:38.654
Well, you said your policy [br]was the same as mine.

0:48:38.654,0:48:44.520
And last time I checked, I have a [br]strict academic integrity policy.

0:48:44.520,0:48:45.501
[br]Remember what that means?

0:48:45.501,0:48:49.131
Uh, yeah.

0:48:49.131,0:48:52.226
[br]What does it mean?

0:48:52.226,0:48:55.365
It means we don’t write [br]papers for our students.

0:48:55.365,0:48:59.568
[br]And did you break that rule?

0:48:59.568,0:49:01.673
[br]Go ahead, spin me a yarn.

0:49:01.673,0:49:05.453
[br]Dig yourself a bigger pit to fall into.

0:49:05.453,0:49:11.521
No, you’re right, George. [br]I broke the rules.

0:49:11.521,0:49:15.731
[br]I know. But I want to hear it from you.

0:49:18.154,0:49:25.611
Um, the student didn’t understand [br]the work, I was frustrated.

0:49:25.611,0:49:28.210
[br]I saw an opportunity to help us both out.

0:49:28.210,0:49:32.493
So I offered to write the paper, [br]but I didn’t even follow through with it.

0:49:32.493,0:49:35.108
[br]I was gonna give the money back, but…

0:49:35.108,0:49:40.329
I needed the money to get [br]my Wi-Fi fixed like you asked.

0:49:40.329,0:49:44.450
So I figured I’d just pay the [br]student back next week.

0:49:44.450,0:49:49.463
I didn’t think they’d call you.

0:49:49.463,0:49:51.920
[br]I’m sorry, George.

0:49:51.920,0:49:56.228
[br]I… I took the easy way out.

0:49:56.228,0:50:00.508
Okay. I understand why [br]you did what you did.

0:50:00.508,0:50:03.421
It was a moment of weakness.

0:50:03.421,0:50:05.100
[br]We’ve all had them.

0:50:05.100,0:50:09.627
You see, my wife and I were [br]having trouble last year -

0:50:09.627,0:50:10.547
[br]You have a wife?

0:50:10.547,0:50:14.540
[br]Yes! How - never mind.

0:50:14.540,0:50:16.623
I’m giving you a second chance.

0:50:16.623,0:50:17.863
[br]Really?

0:50:17.863,0:50:20.137
Of course. Don’t you [br]remember today’s word?

0:50:20.137,0:50:32.356
[br]LEARNING: Lamentable Emasculations Assist Redemption, Newfound Initiative, and Natural Growth.

0:50:32.356,0:50:36.821
Oh, yeah, I totally forgot to [br]check the website this morning.

0:50:36.821,0:50:40.992
Well, thank you, George. [br]I won’t let you down.

0:50:40.992,0:50:47.264
I know you won’t. But I wanna keep [br]this between us, alright?

0:50:47.264,0:50:49.485
I don’t need this kind [br]of thing getting out.

0:50:49.485,0:50:52.937
[br]Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.

0:50:52.937,0:50:58.611
And George, I promise, what happened [br]with Louie will never happen again.

0:50:58.611,0:51:02.289
[br]Louie? The student’s name was Ramjeet.

0:51:04.209,0:51:06.583
I’ll do it.

0:51:06.583,0:51:07.954
You will?

0:51:07.954,0:51:11.621
I’m broke, my father might be [br]dying, and I just got lost my job.

0:51:11.621,0:51:12.937
I'm all the way in.

0:51:12.937,0:51:14.709
[br]You got fired from the tutoring center?

0:51:14.709,0:51:16.143
[br]I remember that. Good times.

0:51:16.143,0:51:17.638
[br]Did you forget about Ramjeet?

0:51:17.638,0:51:19.650
[br]I forgot about Ramjeet.

0:51:19.650,0:51:20.586
Never forget about Ramjeet.

0:51:20.586,0:51:22.352
You could’ve warned me [br]about that, you know.

0:51:22.352,0:51:24.528
I don’t know everything [br]about this timeline.

0:51:24.528,0:51:27.788
Besides, you’re here, [br]so it worked out for the both of us.

0:51:27.788,0:51:29.690
[br]I thought you might not show up.

0:51:29.690,0:51:31.168
[br][br]Well, I showed up.

0:51:31.168,0:51:32.474
Where do we start?

0:51:32.474,0:51:35.508
I’ll tell you what we know about [br]the killer, which isn't much.

0:51:35.508,0:51:37.635
[br]First thing is the psych profile.

0:51:37.635,0:51:41.263
It’s short, obviously, because there [br]isn't a lot of information available

0:51:41.263,0:51:43.341
on how time travel affects the brain.

0:51:43.341,0:51:46.251
I mean, I don’t even know what I’d [br]do with a psych profile,

0:51:46.251,0:51:49.309
but, sure, tell me what you know.

0:51:49.309,0:51:51.300
[br]Well, he’s a narcissist.

0:51:51.300,0:51:54.467
Delusions of grandeur; [br]he likes to literally cause history.

0:51:54.467,0:51:56.711
He’s a people pleaser [br]and an exhibitionist.

0:51:56.711,0:51:59.910
Posts videos of his crimes; he likes[br]people to know what he’s doing,

0:51:59.910,0:52:01.787
especially when he knows [br]he’s doing a good job.

0:52:01.787,0:52:04.783
Probably also doesn’t like it when people [br]know he’s doing a bad job.

0:52:04.783,0:52:09.520
He doesn’t show videos of failed kills. [br]Most likely middle or lower-class.

0:52:09.520,0:52:15.149
Low power physically, emotionally, [br]economically, socially. Shit job.

0:52:15.149,0:52:17.552
Probably had issues with his parents, [br]if they were around.

0:52:17.552,0:52:21.096
Failed to live up to everyone’s [br]expectations, including his own.

0:52:21.096,0:52:24.707
If he had siblings, probably [br]felt inferior to them.

0:52:24.707,0:52:26.230
[br]Doesn’t have a lot of friends.

0:52:26.230,0:52:30.848
The few he does are probably [br]through the Internet. Single. Virgin.

0:52:30.848,0:52:32.810
[br]That’s all I got.

0:52:35.060,0:52:38.958
[br]So… he’s a libertarian.

0:52:38.958,0:52:42.523
Second thing we know, which will [br]probably be even less useful, is his name.

0:52:42.523,0:52:44.305
[br]We have his name?

0:52:44.305,0:52:46.993
Not his real name, but what we [br]called him at the Agency.

0:52:46.993,0:52:49.101
[br]Promise not to laugh.

0:52:49.101,0:52:50.947
[br]I won’t.

0:52:50.947,0:52:52.868
[br]We call him “the Fizzle Killer.”

0:52:52.868,0:52:59.996
[br]“The Fizzle Killer”? Why?

0:52:59.996,0:53:04.396
His videos and profiles [br]referred to him as “Fizzle,”

0:53:04.396,0:53:06.638
[br]Why not call him “the Time Killer”?

0:53:06.638,0:53:09.951
Like “time travel”, we can’t use [br]that name for copyright reasons.

0:53:09.951,0:53:12.207
There’s a company that [br]produces laser watches,

0:53:12.207,0:53:17.620
which are exactly as cool as they sound - [br]and they beat us to the name.

0:53:17.620,0:53:18.897
[br]So, he’s the Fizzle Killer.

0:53:18.897,0:53:20.431
[br]Get your laughs in now.

0:53:20.431,0:53:21.754
[br]Heinlein.

0:53:21.754,0:53:23.925
[br]Was that a laugh in German?

0:53:23.925,0:53:25.607
[br]No, Heinlein. Robert Heinlein.

0:53:25.607,0:53:27.205
[br]He was a science-fiction writer.

0:53:27.205,0:53:28.858
[br]You think he’s the Fizzle Killer?

0:53:28.858,0:53:29.817
[br]No. He’s dead.

0:53:29.817,0:53:31.710
And you think the Fizzle [br]Killer killed him?

0:53:31.710,0:53:33.345
[br]No. You’ve never heard of him?

0:53:33.345,0:53:36.730
No. Why would I read [br]science-fiction? I’m living it.

0:53:36.730,0:53:40.816
Robert Heinlein has a story [br]called “-All You Zombies-.”

0:53:40.816,0:53:42.550
[br]It’s about time travel.

0:53:42.550,0:53:44.730
The narrator talks about [br]something called a Fizzle War.

0:53:44.730,0:53:47.140
You think there’s a clue [br]hidden in the story?

0:53:47.140,0:53:50.572
No, that is the clue. [br]This guy’s a fucking sci-fi nerd.

0:53:50.572,0:53:53.931
[br]That would fit our profile. Huh.

0:53:53.931,0:53:57.096
We had a whole unit [br]of Agents on this case.

0:53:57.096,0:53:59.871
We thought his name was just some [br]stupid Readdat handle.

0:53:59.871,0:54:00.655
Readdat?

0:54:00.655,0:54:03.812
Readdat? You guys don’t have [br]Readdat? It’s a fivum.

0:54:03.812,0:54:04.772
A what?

0:54:04.772,0:54:09.158
A fivum. It's a website where [br]you share opinions and stuff.

0:54:09.158,0:54:11.310
Oh, a forum.

0:54:11.310,0:54:13.208
Why would you call it a forum?

0:54:13.208,0:54:15.496
I don’t know. Why [br]would you call it a fivum?

0:54:15.496,0:54:18.441
Because five is better than four. [br]Obviously.

0:54:18.441,0:54:21.174
Dude, you’re one of the smarter [br]Davids I’ve met but God,

0:54:21.174,0:54:23.355
you live in a stupid ass timeline.

0:54:23.355,0:54:25.318
No arguments there.

0:54:25.318,0:54:28.876
This is a great clue though. [br]He’s a sci-fi nerd. Of course.

0:54:28.876,0:54:31.265
[br]Well, I do have something else for you.

0:54:31.265,0:54:34.444
I’m gonna send it across the [br]sixth dimensional plane in a second,

0:54:34.444,0:54:36.902
[br]I just gotta get the formatting right.

0:54:36.902,0:54:38.284
[br]Do you guys have Pedia Files?

0:54:38.284,0:54:41.661
[br][br]Uh. You mean PDF files?

0:54:41.661,0:54:43.745
[br]Yeah, what did I say?

0:54:47.738,0:54:50.253
I’m fucking with you. [br]I’m fucking with you.

0:54:50.253,0:54:51.649
[br]I’m sending it over now.

0:54:51.649,0:54:57.530
I’m sorry. Give it a second. [br]Check your email.

0:54:57.801,0:54:59.810
(Beep)

0:55:01.100,0:55:02.194
Really?

0:55:02.194,0:55:03.934
Aw, I thought you’d laugh at that.

0:55:03.934,0:55:07.393
You don’t think it’s a little dangerous to [br]send me something that says that?

0:55:07.393,0:55:12.794
Oh come on. It’s not like the [br]NSA is reading your emails.

0:55:12.794,0:55:16.216
[br]Wait, do they actually do that here?

0:55:16.216,0:55:18.692
Why do I objectively [br]live in the worst timeline?

0:55:18.692,0:55:21.308
[br]Anyway, take a look at this.

0:55:21.308,0:55:23.873
It’s a collection of the videos that [br]the killer posted on TubeYou.

0:55:23.873,0:55:26.259
[br]I told you I don’t wanna look at those.

0:55:26.259,0:55:29.416
Dude, we’re catching a [br]murderer, not watching CBS.

0:55:29.416,0:55:31.804
[br]Besides, you read detective stories.

0:55:31.804,0:55:34.918
Reading about murder and [br]watching it are two different things.

0:55:34.918,0:55:38.032
You’re right. Let’s wait five years [br]for the book to come out.

0:55:38.032,0:55:42.583
Maybe Truman Capote’ll rise from the [br]dead and do all the work for us.

0:55:42.583,0:55:44.722
[br]This is a step in the right direction.

0:55:44.722,0:55:47.589
But you’re gonna have to take a [br]couple more outside your

0:55:47.589,0:55:53.315
comfort zone if you wanna [br]get where you're going.

0:56:33.722,0:56:37.555
(A phone ringtone)

0:56:37.555,0:56:38.769
(Amy)[br]David

0:56:38.769,0:56:41.593
Hey, what’s up? Is Phil okay?

0:56:41.593,0:56:43.428
[br]Yeah, he’s fine. Are you alright?

0:56:43.428,0:56:45.188
[br]You mean in a cosmic sense?

0:56:45.188,0:56:47.222
[br]No, I mean did you get fired?

0:56:47.222,0:56:49.211
[br]Who told you that?

0:56:49.211,0:56:54.302
Lenna. They said you [br]got fired two days ago.

0:56:54.302,0:56:56.411
[br]Why would Lenna know that?

0:56:56.411,0:56:59.149
[br]Because they talked to George.

0:56:59.149,0:57:02.452
Who the fuck talks to their ex-boss [br]three years after they quit?

0:57:04.912,0:57:06.726
[br]You submitted my resume.

0:57:06.726,0:57:08.491
[br]Well, you weren’t going to do it.

0:57:08.491,0:57:10.313
[br]I told you I’d think about it. [br]

0:57:10.313,0:57:12.040
[br]Yeah, that’s how I knew you wouldn’t.

0:57:12.040,0:57:13.581
[br]You don’t “think.”

0:57:13.581,0:57:16.509
If you did, you would’ve stopped [br]selling papers like I told you to.

0:57:16.509,0:57:18.890
[br]David, what are you gonna do?

0:57:18.890,0:57:20.753
You just threw away a job [br]you had for three years.

0:57:20.753,0:57:22.760
And now you can’t even use [br]George as a reference because

0:57:22.760,0:57:24.612
he’s just gonna tell people [br]you were selling so many

0:57:24.612,0:57:27.200
papers you couldn’t keep track [br]of who you were selling them to.

0:57:27.200,0:57:28.478
[br]I don’t need a reference.

0:57:28.478,0:57:30.159
[br]I already got a new position. [br]

0:57:30.159,0:57:31.824
[br]Wha - How?

0:57:31.824,0:57:34.227
Is this the thing you were [br]talking about last time?

0:57:34.227,0:57:35.713
[br]Yeah. I got the job.

0:57:35.713,0:57:37.405
[br]I thought it wasn’t a job.

0:57:37.405,0:57:40.290
[br]It’s not. It - whatever it is, I have it.

0:57:40.290,0:57:41.805
[br]Okay? You don’t need to worry.

0:57:41.805,0:57:42.730
[br]Does it pay?

0:57:42.730,0:57:43.548
[br]It will.

0:57:43.548,0:57:44.768
[br]But not right now.

0:57:44.768,0:57:45.811
[br]But it will.

0:57:45.811,0:57:47.513
[br]I don’t want you to get evicted.

0:57:47.513,0:57:48.733
[br]I’m not gonna get evicted.

0:57:48.733,0:57:50.161
[br]Annie’s not gonna throw me out.

0:57:50.161,0:57:52.437
(Annie)[br]Yes I will!

0:57:52.437,0:57:54.199
[br]Love you too!

0:57:54.199,0:57:55.658
(Annie)[br]Fuck off.

0:57:55.658,0:57:56.795
[br]David.

0:57:56.795,0:57:59.817
She’s not. She’s just gonna [br]rant about me on Tumblr.

0:57:59.817,0:58:04.283
And in real life. Look, I’m sorry you had [br]to find out from Lenna that I got fired.

0:58:04.283,0:58:07.799
I was gonna tell you, but I already [br]got so much work to do.

0:58:07.799,0:58:10.610
[br]What are you even doing?

0:58:10.610,0:58:16.978
It's, uh, I’m assisting on a case.

0:58:16.978,0:58:19.648
[br]“A case?” What did you do?

0:58:19.648,0:58:21.120
[br]I didn’t do anything.

0:58:21.120,0:58:23.130
[br]Are you a police informant?

0:58:23.130,0:58:24.890
[br]You know I don’t like police.

0:58:24.890,0:58:28.440
No, it’s with a… private investigator.

0:58:28.440,0:58:31.504
He’s looking into some cold [br]cases and he needs help.

0:58:31.504,0:58:35.046
“Cold cases?” Like, murders?

0:58:36.816,0:58:38.588
Uh, yeah.

0:58:38.588,0:58:43.589
Oh my God. Does he make [br]you look at photos? Does he?

0:58:43.589,0:58:51.290
No, not… yet at least. [br]It’s like clerical work.

0:58:51.290,0:58:56.394
Why would they hire someone like [br]you for a job like that? No offense.

0:58:56.394,0:59:01.508
I don’t know, I guess he… sees [br]himself in me or something. I dunno.

0:59:01.508,0:59:04.868
Or maybe he wanted to hire someone [br]he could get away with not paying?

0:59:04.868,0:59:08.960
It’s not that he doesn’t want to pay me, [br]it’s that he needs to find the guy

0:59:08.960,0:59:10.854
he’s looking for before he can pay me.

0:59:10.854,0:59:13.580
So it’s contingent on [br]whether you solve the case?

0:59:13.580,0:59:15.070
[br]How long is that gonna take?

0:59:15.070,0:59:19.155
I don’t know. Look, it’s an interesting [br]job. I can use it for my writing.

0:59:19.155,0:59:23.298
I don’t want you to spend another three years [br]working a job just for it to go nowhere again.

0:59:23.298,0:59:27.652
I’m not going to. I was stuck [br]at the center, you know that.

0:59:27.652,0:59:30.372
[br]I’m glad I got fired.

0:59:30.372,0:59:32.701
[br]Amy, this is a good thing.

0:59:32.701,0:59:34.569
[br]You said to move sideways.

0:59:34.569,0:59:36.425
[br]This is a sideways move.

0:59:38.108,0:59:40.514
At least you’re taking my advice for once.

0:59:40.514,0:59:42.853
Yeah, I’m the only one [br]in this family who does.

0:59:42.853,0:59:44.605
[br]You should be grateful.

0:59:44.605,0:59:46.839
[br]Don’t push it.

0:59:46.839,0:59:49.505
[br]We need to do something about him.

0:59:49.505,0:59:51.500
[br]Do we have to?

0:59:51.500,0:59:53.406
Well, if you don’t say [br]anything to him soon,

0:59:53.406,0:59:56.433
we won’t have to because [br]he's just gonna be dead.

0:59:56.433,1:00:00.192
Uh, okay, what's wrong with him?

1:00:00.192,1:00:03.985
He’s coughing up purple again, [br]but now it’s like, flakes?

1:00:03.985,1:00:06.961
It’s like lilac petals that [br]smell like stomach acid.

1:00:06.961,1:00:10.698
Can you just please talk to him?

1:00:10.698,1:00:12.755
What would I even say to him?

1:00:12.755,1:00:16.540
Tell him he’s a stubborn, cantankerous [br]wiseass and if he doesn’t admit

1:00:16.540,1:00:19.346
that there’s something wrong [br]with him, he's gonna die.

1:00:19.346,1:00:21.797
Why don’t you tell him he’s a [br]stubborn, cantankerous wiseass?

1:00:21.797,1:00:24.966
I can’t do that! [br]He thinks I’m the good one.

1:00:24.966,1:00:28.473
David… don’t get stuck in the past.

1:00:28.473,1:00:30.821
[br]You saw what it did to him.

1:00:30.821,1:00:33.316
He spent the last twenty years [br]trying to forget what happened

1:00:33.316,1:00:35.452
and everyone else moved on.

1:00:35.452,1:00:37.309
[br]Time didn’t wait for him to catch up.

1:00:37.309,1:00:41.388
[br]Now he’s alone.

1:00:41.388,1:00:43.175
I don’t want that to happen to us.

1:00:43.175,1:00:44.420
It won’t.

1:00:44.420,1:00:48.156
So just talk to him for yourself.

1:00:48.156,1:00:50.983
[br]Just to move on from it.

1:00:50.983,1:00:54.378
If he can’t do it, or [br]won’t do it, that’s on him.

1:00:54.378,1:00:59.207
At least you won’t have to wonder if [br]you could have saved him or not.

1:01:02.854,1:01:06.599
Okay, I’ll talk to him, but ask him first.

1:01:06.599,1:01:09.989
I’m don't wanna force him to listen to me [br]lecture him if he doesn’t want to.

1:01:09.989,1:01:11.123
Okay.

1:01:11.123,1:01:13.888
And just tell him I wanted to talk.

1:01:13.888,1:01:16.528
Don’t tell him this is an [br]intervention or whatever.

1:01:16.528,1:01:17.787
Yeah, of course.

1:01:17.787,1:01:19.986
And I can’t guarantee results.

1:01:19.986,1:01:24.262
I would not expect you to. Thank you.

1:01:24.262,1:01:26.174
[br]Don’t thank me yet;

1:01:26.174,1:01:29.507
I still have to actually [br]follow through with it.

1:01:29.507,1:01:32.910
Look, I should probably get back to work.

1:01:32.910,1:01:34.254
I have to look at metadata.

1:01:34.254,1:01:35.638
“Metadata”?

1:01:35.638,1:01:36.833
Metadata.

1:01:36.833,1:01:40.533
It’s like this data that [br]gets stored on videos,

1:01:40.533,1:01:43.821
like what date it was taken, [br]what camera it was taken on,

1:01:43.821,1:01:46.386
GPS coordinates if there’s a...

1:01:46.386,1:01:48.711
Yeah, it’s boring, I know.

1:01:48.711,1:01:52.063
Yeah, it sounds like it.

1:01:52.063,1:01:55.570
Alright, I'll see you later.

1:01:55.570,1:01:57.350
Bye.

1:01:57.350,1:01:59.545
Metadata!

1:01:59.545,1:02:01.559
Metadata!

1:02:08.840,1:02:13.555
(Amy's voice, echoing)[br]“Time didn’t wait for him to catch up.”

1:02:13.555,1:02:17.675
( A man's voice)[br]"It's a clue dumbass"

1:02:21.669,1:02:24.342
The metadata from the [br]videos show that the killer

1:02:24.342,1:02:26.160
swapped out cameras [br]between each murder.

1:02:26.160,1:02:28.129
He probably destroyed them [br]after uploading the videos.

1:02:28.129,1:02:29.557
[br]Makes it harder to catch him.

1:02:29.557,1:02:32.395
Right. But when you buy a new camera, [br]or any new device, what happens?

1:02:32.395,1:02:34.336
You… throw away the instruction manual?

1:02:34.336,1:02:37.753
Yes, but, also, the device[br]doesn’t know what time it is.

1:02:37.753,1:02:39.497
[br]Each camera has an internal clock.

1:02:39.497,1:02:41.191
[br]That’s how we get timestamps.

1:02:41.191,1:02:44.180
Most people update the time settings [br]as soon as they turn the camera on

1:02:44.180,1:02:45.933
so it matches the date [br]and time they're using it.

1:02:45.933,1:02:47.314
The killer didn’t.

1:02:47.314,1:02:49.651
Well, yeah. He was going [br]into the past anyway.

1:02:49.651,1:02:53.063
Right. There’s no point in changing the time setting [br]for a camera you’re just gonna throw away.

1:02:53.063,1:02:56.375
But if you don’t set it up, [br]it retains the factory settings.

1:02:56.375,1:03:00.229
So if I buy a camera today and [br]insert the battery for the first time,

1:03:00.229,1:03:04.556
the default factory setting might be [br]January first, two-thousand twenty.

1:03:04.556,1:03:10.780
But what happens if I take that camera and [br]go back to, say, June first, two-thousand ten?

1:03:10.780,1:03:13.160
The camera still thinks you’re [br]in January of two-thousand twenty.

1:03:13.160,1:03:15.619
Exactly. If you look at the [br]recorded dates of the latest videos,

1:03:15.619,1:03:18.223
most of them are from January.

1:03:18.223,1:03:21.882
He didn’t spend a lot of time in the past, [br]because they were short kills.

1:03:21.882,1:03:25.321
But most of the older videos [br]are dated a couple months later.

1:03:25.321,1:03:26.997
[br]So think about it.

1:03:26.997,1:03:30.701
If I take that same camera [br]from January twenty-twenty,

1:03:30.701,1:03:35.707
and I travel to June twenty-ten [br]and stay there for two months -

1:03:35.707,1:03:38.320
The camera will say [br]it’s March twenty-twenty.

1:03:38.320,1:03:41.557
Right. Time doesn’t stop just [br]because you’re in the past.

1:03:41.557,1:03:44.610
[br]And if it doesn’t stop for the camera -

1:03:44.610,1:03:45.478
[br]It’s not stopping for him either.

1:03:45.478,1:03:47.845
So if I go to June twenty-ten [br]and stay for two months,

1:03:47.845,1:03:51.938
and then I travel back to the same [br]moment I left in January twenty-twenty,

1:03:51.938,1:03:54.122
the camera will say March twenty-twenty.

1:03:54.122,1:03:57.624
So both the camera and the killer [br]would have aged two months.

1:03:57.624,1:04:00.145
But no time would [br]have elapsed in the present.

1:04:00.145,1:04:02.001
The killer can move through time, [br]but he’s still affected by it.

1:04:02.001,1:04:03.709
He’s still aging when he’s in the past.

1:04:03.709,1:04:05.771
Which means he’s aging faster [br]than people in the present.

1:04:05.771,1:04:06.386
[br]Exactly.

1:04:06.386,1:04:08.797
So I worked with the assumption [br]that the killer turned on each camera

1:04:08.797,1:04:10.795
at the same time he entered the past.

1:04:10.795,1:04:14.453
So, for example, if a video says [br]it was taken on February first,

1:04:14.453,1:04:17.855
that’s one month from a default [br]factory setting of January first,

1:04:17.855,1:04:20.589
so I can assume that the killer [br]spent one month in the past.

1:04:20.589,1:04:24.125
So working with that estimate, I added [br]up the total time he’s spent in the past.

1:04:24.125,1:04:25.611
How much time?

1:04:25.611,1:04:26.526
Close to eight years.

1:04:26.526,1:04:27.732
[br]Holy shit.

1:04:27.732,1:04:29.357
[br]And that’s conservative.

1:04:29.357,1:04:30.751
[br]It’s hundreds of videos.

1:04:30.751,1:04:34.044
Some are short because all he had to [br]do was show up and shoot someone in the face,

1:04:34.044,1:04:37.546
but others are more complicated, [br]like poisoning or indirect causes

1:04:37.546,1:04:40.248
like emotional abuse that leads to [br]the victim committing suicide.

1:04:40.248,1:04:42.399
Yeah. If he has to spend months, [br]even years in the past,

1:04:42.399,1:04:44.117
[br]he’ll do it to make sure he gets the kill. [br]

1:04:44.117,1:04:46.623
[br]But he’s still aging. And he’s realized this.

1:04:46.623,1:04:48.777
Which is why the more recent [br]kills are getting shorter.

1:04:48.777,1:04:51.100
He needs kills to keep up with demand,

1:04:51.100,1:04:52.967
but that don’t take a [br]lot of time to accomplish,

1:04:52.967,1:04:54.705
because the more time [br]he spends in the past,

1:04:54.705,1:04:56.736
[br]the more time he loses in his actual present-day life.

1:04:56.736,1:05:01.695
But you can’t just age eight years [br]without people around you noticing.

1:05:01.695,1:05:03.177
Unless you’re Toss Cruime.

1:05:03.177,1:05:04.661
Who’s Toss Cruime?

1:05:04.661,1:05:08.822
He’s an actor. He was in, uh… Bottom Gun,

1:05:08.822,1:05:11.966
Assignment: Impractical, Strawberry Sky -

1:05:11.966,1:05:14.300
Oh, Tom Cruise.

1:05:14.300,1:05:16.777
Yeah, the guy who’s like sixty [br]but looks like he’s twenty-two.

1:05:16.777,1:05:18.893
Yeah, but the killer’s [br]not Tom Cruise.

1:05:18.893,1:05:21.474
Are we sure? I really want [br]that guy to fuck up.

1:05:21.474,1:05:23.729
No, the killer’s a loser. [br]Remember the profile?

1:05:23.729,1:05:24.949
He’s probably ugly.

1:05:24.949,1:05:26.893
With all the money he’s [br]made selling videos online?

1:05:26.893,1:05:28.808
He could probably afford plastic surgery.

1:05:28.808,1:05:30.723
So that’s where we should be looking.

1:05:30.723,1:05:34.643
Plastic surgery, cases of advanced aging.

1:05:35.273,1:05:38.274
I can do some digging, but we [br]don’t know where this guy lives.

1:05:38.274,1:05:40.864
I could interrogate every [br]plastic surgeon in New York,

1:05:40.864,1:05:43.879
but it wouldn’t matter if [br]the killer lives in Banglakok.

1:05:43.879,1:05:48.877
Banglakok? Never mind. [br]I'm not gonna ask.

1:05:48.877,1:05:52.501
Look, I’ll do what I can to [br]look into the medical stuff

1:05:52.501,1:05:54.956
This is progress. Good work.

1:05:54.956,1:05:56.601
Don’t thank me, thank Amy.

1:05:56.601,1:05:57.687
Who?

1:05:57.687,1:06:01.390
My sister. She's the one [br]who gave me the idea.

1:06:01.390,1:06:02.986
[br]Oh, right.

1:06:02.986,1:06:05.186
[br]You didn’t tell her about this, did you?

1:06:05.186,1:06:07.500
[br]No, of course not.

1:06:09.688,1:06:12.468
[br]Do you… not have an Amy in your timeline?

1:06:12.468,1:06:15.015
[br]Only child.

1:06:15.015,1:06:17.847
What about parents?

1:06:19.717,1:06:25.516
David, when we erase this guy - [br]it’ll change my timeline permanently.

1:06:25.516,1:06:29.575
The me you know right [br]now isn’t going to exist.

1:06:29.575,1:06:34.400
So, the less you know [br]about me, the better.

1:06:34.400,1:06:35.844
[br]I’ll look into plastic surgeons.

1:06:35.844,1:06:38.178
I’ll let you know what I find. Okay?

1:06:38.178,1:06:39.777
Yeah. Okay.

1:06:39.777,1:06:42.155
Good work today, David.

1:06:42.155,1:06:44.690
(Static)

1:06:48.829,1:06:50.470
He’s all set up in the other room.

1:06:50.470,1:06:51.615
Why isn’t he downstairs?

1:06:51.615,1:06:54.240
[br]He doesn’t want me to be there.

1:06:54.240,1:06:57.460
He keeps calling me NASA for some reason.

1:06:57.460,1:06:58.176
NASA?

1:06:58.176,1:07:02.951
Yeah, I guarantee he’s gonna [br]say something about that to you.

1:07:02.951,1:07:06.202
Anyway, upstairs is the only [br]place where there’s any privacy.

1:07:06.202,1:07:10.540
I don't let him in on our calls, [br]so I couldn’t really argue with him.

1:07:10.540,1:07:13.147
You don’t need to argue. Just threaten [br]him with a morphine overdose.

1:07:13.147,1:07:15.513
I don’t give him morphine.

1:07:15.513,1:07:17.189
Good. Let him suffer.

1:07:17.189,1:07:19.951
You do remember we’re [br]trying to save him, right?

1:07:19.951,1:07:22.451
I remember, I just may not commit to it.

1:07:22.451,1:07:24.951
You don’t have to do [br]this if you don’t want to.

1:07:24.951,1:07:27.352
I just don’t wanna go [br]through this for nothing.

1:07:27.352,1:07:29.990
Well, what’s the worst case scenario?

1:07:29.990,1:07:31.937
He doesn’t listen and he dies.

1:07:31.937,1:07:34.847
And what’s the best case scenario?

1:07:34.847,1:07:36.865
He doesn’t listen and he dies.

1:07:36.865,1:07:39.122
You’re right, good pep talk. Let’s do this.

1:07:39.122,1:07:42.128
Alright, I’m abandoning you.

1:07:42.128,1:07:46.418
I'll see you on the other side.

1:07:48.738,1:07:51.249
(Phil) Amelia! You stay [br]off my wall, do you hear me?

1:07:51.249,1:07:52.979
I’m a grown man.

1:07:52.979,1:07:54.378
Hey, Phil.

1:07:54.378,1:07:56.427
[br]Hey, Dave. You see her watchin’ me?

1:07:56.427,1:07:59.510
She’s like fuckin’ NASA, [br]spyin’ on me all the time.

1:07:59.510,1:08:01.023
You mean the NSA?

1:08:01.023,1:08:03.657
[br]No. Did I say NSA?

1:08:03.657,1:08:06.857
[br]Fuckin’ NASA spyin’ on everybody.

1:08:06.857,1:08:10.320
They put those fuckin’ satellites up there [br]and they’ve been spyin’ on us ever since.

1:08:10.320,1:08:13.308
SDI, Brilliant Pebbles, all that bullshit.

1:08:13.308,1:08:14.746
“Brilliant Pebbles?”

1:08:14.746,1:08:17.643
Brilliant Pebbles. You never [br]heard ‘a’ Brilliant Pebbles?

1:08:17.643,1:08:20.641
I think I had some for breakfast t[br]his morning.

1:08:20.641,1:08:22.412
Don’t get smart with me.

1:08:22.412,1:08:24.542
I know where you went to [br]school, you ain’t that smart.

1:08:24.542,1:08:26.315
[br]Brilliant Pebbles.

1:08:26.315,1:08:29.289
[br]Look it up. NASA was behind all that shit.

1:08:29.289,1:08:31.529
[br]Nobody gave a fuck about space.

1:08:31.529,1:08:33.448
[br]They just wanted to bankrupt the Soviets.

1:08:33.448,1:08:34.734
[br]It was a ruse.

1:08:34.734,1:08:36.385
It was a ruse for the Russkis.

1:08:36.385,1:08:37.879
You came up with that yourself?

1:08:37.879,1:08:39.725
[br]You ain’t the only one good with words.

1:08:39.725,1:08:42.337
I mean the whole thing about NASA.

1:08:42.337,1:08:43.520
Eh, shut up.

1:08:43.520,1:08:45.883
You didn’t live through the eighties [br]and ya don’t know nothin’ worth knowin’.

1:08:45.883,1:08:48.448
Liberal arts colleges.

1:08:48.448,1:08:50.508
[br]Only thing liberal is who they let in.

1:08:50.508,1:08:51.940
[br]So how ya doin’, Dave?

1:08:51.940,1:08:53.580
Amelia says you got a new gig.

1:08:53.580,1:08:54.871
Yeah, I did.

1:08:54.871,1:08:57.263
About time. Was startin’ to think [br]you were gonna be a tutor forever.

1:08:57.263,1:08:58.840
[br]So where’s the new job?

1:08:58.840,1:09:01.890
It’s with a detective.

1:09:01.890,1:09:03.941
You’re doin’ police work?

1:09:03.941,1:09:06.966
You know I don’t like the police.

1:09:06.966,1:09:10.489
No, he’s a private eye.[br]I know him from around.

1:09:10.489,1:09:11.522
[br]That can’t be safe.

1:09:11.522,1:09:13.463
You never know what those [br]people get wrapped up in.

1:09:13.463,1:09:14.858
[br]Murders, affairs.

1:09:14.858,1:09:18.422
Sometimes they watch people a little [br]too closely, you know what I mean.

1:09:18.422,1:09:22.511
But I guess you know about all that [br]from reading those detective novels.

1:09:22.511,1:09:24.782
You still doin’ that or what?

1:09:24.782,1:09:26.593
Am I still reading?

1:09:26.593,1:09:28.206
Nah, writin’. You still writin’?

1:09:28.206,1:09:30.372
Yeah, when I got time.

1:09:30.372,1:09:31.756
Any luck?

1:09:31.756,1:09:34.704
mmm, No.

1:09:34.704,1:09:36.833
Eh, it’s a rough business. [br]Hard to stick out.

1:09:36.833,1:09:40.143
It’s not that. I haven’t [br]really been submitting lately.

1:09:40.143,1:09:42.568
Well, you gotta follow [br]through with these things.

1:09:42.568,1:09:44.873
You know, work's [br]just been kind of busy.

1:09:44.873,1:09:47.350
How much are you workin’?

1:09:47.350,1:09:48.440
Are they even payin’ you over there?

1:09:48.440,1:09:49.810
Didn’t Amy tell you about it?

1:09:49.810,1:09:51.782
She doesn’t tell me anything. [br]She’s just like her mother.

1:09:51.782,1:09:53.994
Are they payin’ you or what?

1:09:53.994,1:09:55.277
What does it matter?

1:09:55.277,1:09:57.420
I just wanna make sure [br]you’re not gettin’ duped.

1:09:57.420,1:09:58.862
I can make sure I’m not getting duped.

1:09:58.862,1:10:00.630
I’m not a child, Phil.

1:10:00.630,1:10:02.740
I didn’t say you were.

1:10:02.740,1:10:05.338
Look, you wanna talk about somethin’ else?

1:10:05.338,1:10:07.448
Sure. How are you?

1:10:07.448,1:10:09.134
How am I?

1:10:09.134,1:10:11.164
I got rainbows comin’ [br]out either end of me.

1:10:11.164,1:10:13.594
I’m like a fuckin’ leprechaun.

1:10:13.594,1:10:15.991
Yeah, I know, [br]Amy told me about that.

1:10:15.991,1:10:17.600
Course she told you.

1:10:17.600,1:10:19.085
[br]You think I don’t know that?

1:10:19.085,1:10:22.305
I bet she asked you to [br]talk to me about that, huh?

1:10:22.305,1:10:25.120
Whaddaya know, I got [br]some detective skills ‘a’ my own.

1:10:25.120,1:10:27.287
Spill it. She set this [br]whole thing up, right?

1:10:27.287,1:10:29.709
Well, she’s worried about you.

1:10:29.709,1:10:31.776
Are you worried about me?

1:10:31.776,1:10:33.902
Honestly?

1:10:33.902,1:10:35.496
What’d I always say to you kids?

1:10:35.496,1:10:38.232
[br]Honesty is the best policy. Be honest.

1:10:38.232,1:10:40.700
[br]You think I’m dyin’?

1:10:40.700,1:10:43.274
No. I think you probably [br]drank too much Pepto.

1:10:43.274,1:10:45.547
[br]Funny thing about Pepto.

1:10:45.547,1:10:47.431
You drink too much,[br]your shit turns black.

1:10:47.431,1:10:50.819
Not pink. Pitch black.

1:10:50.819,1:10:56.479
Fascinating. But I'm not a doctor so [br]it doesn't matter what I think.

1:10:56.479,1:11:00.226
You’re not a detective, either, but that [br]didn’t stop you from working for one.

1:11:00.226,1:11:02.523
I’m talking about your life here.

1:11:02.523,1:11:06.537
And I’m talkin’ about your life.

1:11:06.537,1:11:09.835
You might be dying. You do realize that?

1:11:09.835,1:11:13.908
Everybody’s dyin’. No matter [br]what they do, they’re dyin’.

1:11:13.908,1:11:17.157
Living, though? That’s a choice.

1:11:17.157,1:11:20.384
Phil, what the hell are you talking about?

1:11:20.384,1:11:23.897
Look. I asked Amelia not [br]to be in here for a reason.

1:11:23.897,1:11:26.215
I know. It’s called [br]“divide and conquer.”

1:11:26.215,1:11:28.450
Do I look like I’m [br]going to war with you?

1:11:28.450,1:11:31.290
No. You look like you’ve [br]slept through one though.

1:11:31.290,1:11:33.993
You’re right, I have. I did.

1:11:33.993,1:11:40.543
[br]I… look. I know I wasn’t the best dad.

1:11:40.543,1:11:42.348
[br]“Wasn’t” implies past tense.

1:11:42.348,1:11:45.710
Will you just listen to me? [br]It was hard, okay?

1:11:45.710,1:11:48.569
[br]It was hard to be a parent.

1:11:48.569,1:11:51.731
[br]Your mother was gone, it was just me.

1:11:51.731,1:11:54.916
Everybody was lettin’ [br]cellphones raise their kids.

1:11:54.916,1:11:57.201
Then the economy was shit -

1:11:57.201,1:11:58.773
It’s still shit.

1:11:58.773,1:12:00.832
I know. You kids inherited shit.

1:12:00.832,1:12:01.831
It’s always shit.

1:12:01.831,1:12:03.486
[br]Somebody always has shit going on.

1:12:03.486,1:12:05.550
What’s your point, Phil?

1:12:05.550,1:12:08.102
I’m just sayin’, I know [br]it was hard for you, Dave.

1:12:08.102,1:12:09.985
[br]But it was hard for me, too.

1:12:09.985,1:12:13.417
I made a lotta stupid [br]mistakes raisin’ you guys.

1:12:13.417,1:12:16.236
Kids don’t come with an instruction manual.

1:12:16.236,1:12:18.465
You just figured that out?

1:12:18.465,1:12:20.580
Dave, I’m tryin’ to talk to you.

1:12:20.580,1:12:24.528
[br]I don’t need life lessons from you. Okay?

1:12:24.528,1:12:31.810
Okay. I’m not tellin’ you [br]how to live your life. Just live it.

1:12:31.810,1:12:36.764
Phil, can you just say [br]what you mean for once?

1:12:36.764,1:12:40.372
[br]Your sister is worried about you.

1:12:40.372,1:12:44.678
She thinks you’re havin’ [br]some kinda… quarter-life crisis.

1:12:44.678,1:12:46.472
Of course I’m having [br]a quarter-life crisis.

1:12:46.472,1:12:48.120
[br]I don’t have a life.

1:12:48.120,1:12:49.826
[br]I have a quarter of a life.

1:12:49.826,1:12:52.240
And it’s definitely a crisis.

1:12:52.240,1:12:54.333
I’m tryin’ to talk to you about [br]yourself and you’re makin’ a joke.

1:12:54.333,1:12:56.761
No, I just think it’s funny [br]it’s called a quarter-life crisis.

1:12:56.761,1:12:58.965
Means I gotta deal with [br]seventy-five more years of this shit.

1:12:58.965,1:13:01.350
See, it’s stuff like that that worries us.

1:13:01.350,1:13:02.803
Worries us?

1:13:02.803,1:13:04.652
Well, yes. I’m worried about you too.

1:13:04.652,1:13:05.552
No, you aren’t.

1:13:05.552,1:13:07.464
Like I said, I know I wasn’t the best -

1:13:07.464,1:13:08.779
No, shut up, Phil.

1:13:08.779,1:13:09.954
[br]Now you wanna care?

1:13:09.954,1:13:11.646
My life is shit because of you.

1:13:11.646,1:13:14.210
Dave, do you really believe that?

1:13:14.210,1:13:17.360
Honesty is the best policy.

1:13:17.360,1:13:20.350
Alright. You think I ruined your life.

1:13:20.350,1:13:23.700
I can understand why you [br]may feel that way.

1:13:23.700,1:13:25.325
I don't think you can.

1:13:25.325,1:13:26.504
Yes I can.

1:13:26.504,1:13:27.708
When your mother left, I -

1:13:27.708,1:13:28.912
Oh my God.

1:13:28.912,1:13:31.162
She left because of you.

1:13:31.162,1:13:33.595
I thought that for a long time too.

1:13:33.595,1:13:37.114
First, I blamed her, [br]then I blamed myself -

1:13:37.114,1:13:38.989
Stop the wheel, Vanna. You got it.

1:13:38.989,1:13:41.361
But I realized it was [br]somethin’ she had to do.

1:13:41.361,1:13:43.502
[br]Yeah, to get away from you.

1:13:43.502,1:13:47.492
[br]No. She wasn’t runnin’ away,

1:13:47.492,1:13:49.472
[br]she was runnin’ toward somethin’.

1:13:49.472,1:13:50.671
Somethin’ important.

1:13:50.671,1:13:52.190
It was important to leave us?

1:13:52.190,1:13:55.919
[br]What was more important than us?

1:13:55.919,1:13:58.704
You know, Phil, for somebody who [br]keeps championing honesty,

1:13:58.704,1:14:00.469
you’re a really bad liar, Phil.

1:14:00.469,1:14:03.262
I’m not lying to you.

1:14:03.262,1:14:04.771
[br]So answer my question.

1:14:04.771,1:14:05.755
[br]I can’t.

1:14:05.755,1:14:06.555
Why not?

1:14:06.555,1:14:08.840
Because I don’t hate you [br]enough to do that to you.

1:14:08.840,1:14:10.173
[br]I don’t hate you at all.

1:14:10.173,1:14:12.942
I just wish you would figure [br]that out for yourself.

1:14:12.942,1:14:17.465
[br]Look, you hate me. Fine.

1:14:17.465,1:14:20.294
Your sister is worried about you.

1:14:20.294,1:14:23.714
Me? You realize you’re [br]the burden on her, right?

1:14:23.714,1:14:26.769
I am? Who complains about me more?

1:14:26.769,1:14:28.541
[br]Her? Or you?

1:14:28.541,1:14:31.453
You think you’re some [br]kinda reprieve from me?

1:14:31.453,1:14:32.975
[br]You’re the one she never sees.

1:14:32.975,1:14:34.998
[br]You’re the one she worries about.

1:14:34.998,1:14:39.604
Look, can you just stop making her [br]worry so much? She’s good to you, Dave.

1:14:39.604,1:14:41.288
[br]She’s good to both of us.

1:14:41.288,1:14:45.930
[br]I’m asking you to make her life easier.

1:14:45.930,1:14:46.404
[br]Do it for her.

1:14:49.794,1:14:52.852
Can we work out a trade? [br]You go to the doctor.

1:14:52.852,1:14:57.130
I’ll figure things out. Sound good?

1:14:57.130,1:14:59.546
Sounds good.

1:14:59.546,1:15:02.047
[br]But do me a favor?

1:15:02.047,1:15:06.131
She’s gonna wanna know, [br]so tell her we had a good talk.

1:15:06.131,1:15:08.996
I thought honesty was the best policy?

1:15:08.996,1:15:10.155
How old are you?

1:15:10.155,1:15:14.117
Just let her think we got along for once.

1:15:14.117,1:15:16.859
Okay, fine, I'll do that.

1:15:16.859,1:15:18.546
[br]Nice doin’ business.

1:15:18.546,1:15:22.625
Now put on your happy face. [br]Amelia, we’re done!

1:15:22.625,1:15:24.272
[br]I wanna watch Hulu.

1:15:24.272,1:15:25.736
(Amy)[br]Coming!

1:15:25.736,1:15:28.237
[br]Take care, Dave.

1:15:28.237,1:15:30.403
You too, Phil.

1:15:30.403,1:15:33.733
(Amy) I’ll be back in a second. [br]I just gotta put on Hulu for him.

1:15:33.733,1:15:35.107
How’d it go?

1:15:35.107,1:15:37.621
(Phil)[br]At least let me get outta earshot.

1:15:37.621,1:15:39.275
(Amy)[br]He’s teasing.

1:15:39.275,1:15:40.456
What do you wanna watch?

1:15:40.456,1:15:41.456
(Beep)

1:15:41.456,1:15:43.927
(Phil)[br]Put on the one with the, with the family.

1:15:43.927,1:15:45.572
(Amy)[br]Arrested Development?

1:15:45.572,1:15:48.242
(Phil)[br]Yeah.

1:15:48.242,1:15:49.242
(Beep)

1:15:50.452,1:15:53.417
(Amy) David, I’m just gonna [br]move this to my room.

1:15:53.417,1:15:55.900
Yeah, no worries.

1:15:55.900,1:16:00.203
(Amy) Dad, let me know if [br]you need anything!

1:16:03.554,1:16:05.935
Hey, how’d it go?

1:16:05.935,1:16:08.200
I didn’t hear any screaming.

1:16:08.200,1:16:09.859
“I don’t know why he saved my life.

1:16:09.859,1:16:13.249
Maybe in those last moments he [br]loved life more than he ever had be- ”

1:16:13.249,1:16:15.760
Oh, shut up. What’d he say?

1:16:15.760,1:16:16.932
He’ll do it.

1:16:16.932,1:16:17.968
Really?

1:16:17.968,1:16:20.858
You’re surprised I did [br]something right for once?

1:16:20.858,1:16:24.773
I’ve been telling him for two weeks [br]and it takes you ten minutes?

1:16:24.773,1:16:26.665
I think he knows he should go.

1:16:26.665,1:16:28.928
He just wanted a second opinion.

1:16:28.928,1:16:31.223
It’s more like a third opinion.

1:16:31.223,1:16:34.265
Fourth. His counts twice.

1:16:34.265,1:16:36.792
Yeah, you’re right. He has power of veto.

1:16:36.792,1:16:38.195
[br]Well, whatever.

1:16:38.195,1:16:40.537
I’m just glad it went well.

1:16:40.537,1:16:44.813
Yeah. Me too.

1:16:44.813,1:16:48.794
(David)[br]I'm ready whenever you are.

1:16:48.794,1:16:54.834
(A dial tone)

1:16:54.834,1:16:56.573
Hello?

1:16:56.573,1:16:59.559
Hey, George.

1:16:59.559,1:17:01.388
Who is this?

1:17:01.388,1:17:03.922
It’s… David.

1:17:03.922,1:17:08.108
David? David who?

1:17:08.108,1:17:10.727
I used to work for you?

1:17:10.727,1:17:16.700
… oh. Sorry, I didn’t [br]recognize the number.

1:17:16.700,1:17:20.599
Yeah, it's weird It’s the [br]same number I’ve always had.

1:17:20.599,1:17:23.457
Yeah, I know. Your voice sounds different.

1:17:23.457,1:17:25.918
Have you been drinking water?

1:17:25.918,1:17:28.444
Yeah. I've been drinking [br]a lot of water actually

1:17:28.444,1:17:31.462
Good. You should always [br]drink a lot of water.

1:17:31.462,1:17:33.487
It’s so good for you.

1:17:33.487,1:17:35.859
And it tastes good, too.

1:17:35.859,1:17:39.381
Yeah, I’ll do that. Listen, George, [br]I need to talk to you -

1:17:39.381,1:17:41.120
[br][br]You know what else is good for you?

1:17:41.120,1:17:47.420
Apples. Do you like apples?

1:17:47.420,1:17:51.110
Yeah, yeah. You’ve seen me eat apples.

1:17:51.110,1:17:54.922
I love a good crunchy apple.

1:17:54.922,1:17:58.455
Okay, yeah. [br]George, I need to talk to you -

1:17:58.455,1:18:04.600
What you need to do is try sliced apples [br]with some sharp cheddar cheese.

1:18:04.600,1:18:09.743
I know Cracker Barrel gets a bad rap,

1:18:09.743,1:18:15.590
but the cheese is [br]almost worth the racism.

1:18:15.590,1:18:18.311
George, why are you telling me this?

1:18:18.311,1:18:22.593
This is important. Apples and water.

1:18:22.593,1:18:25.203
[br]That’s all you need to be healthy.

1:18:25.203,1:18:28.315
You need to know this.[br]Everybody needs to know this.

1:18:28.315,1:18:30.259
Everyone already knows this, George

1:18:30.259,1:18:34.743
Everyone knows apples [br]and water are healthy.

1:18:34.743,1:18:36.976
Well I know they do.

1:18:36.976,1:18:39.382
So why are you telling me [br]something I already know?

1:18:39.382,1:18:40.217
I dunno.

1:18:40.217,1:18:42.924
Why are you calling me to tell [br]me something I already know?

1:18:42.924,1:18:44.988
You don’t even know [br]what I’m gonna say to you.

1:18:44.988,1:18:49.087
You think you’re the first person [br]to come crawling back for their job?

1:18:49.087,1:18:55.255
I lived through the [br]Pumpkins’ break-up, okay.

1:18:55.255,1:18:57.396
You know Lenna called me?

1:18:57.396,1:19:00.552
Yeah. Thanks for the glowing review.

1:19:00.552,1:19:02.396
[br]Was I being honest?

1:19:02.396,1:19:04.760
Did I say something to offend you?

1:19:04.760,1:19:07.878
[br]What do you want, David?

1:19:07.878,1:19:10.519
[br]You know what I want.

1:19:10.519,1:19:11.602
[br]Do you want something?

1:19:11.602,1:19:13.895
[br]I wanna know what you want.

1:19:13.895,1:19:15.986
[br]What you really want.

1:19:15.986,1:19:18.515
‘Cause you sure as hell [br]didn’t wanna work for me.

1:19:18.515,1:19:20.590
[br]It’s not personal, George.

1:19:20.590,1:19:24.261
I know it’s not personal. [br]I wish it had been.

1:19:24.261,1:19:28.644
[br]At least you would’ve cared.

1:19:28.644,1:19:32.417
I do care, George.

1:19:32.417,1:19:34.108
[br]Not about the work.

1:19:34.108,1:19:37.946
You know, when you started here, [br]you took pride in your work.

1:19:37.946,1:19:43.670
But then you started spacing out, [br]not responding to emails.

1:19:43.670,1:19:47.999
[br]You lost interest.

1:19:47.999,1:19:52.216
Is that what happened [br]with you and your wife?

1:19:52.216,1:19:58.544
David, I only talk to my [br]friends about my wife.

1:19:58.544,1:20:00.438
[br]We are not friends.

1:20:00.438,1:20:03.347
But I am gonna tell you something[br]‘cause I think you need to hear it:

1:20:03.347,1:20:06.254
[br]you don’t want your job back.

1:20:06.254,1:20:09.738
Yes I do. George, I was [br]wrong to do what I did -

1:20:09.738,1:20:14.402
And as an educator I can appreciate [br]that you learned something,

1:20:14.402,1:20:19.995
but giving you your job back [br]is not gonna reinforce that.

1:20:19.995,1:20:24.138
You made your decision, [br]you got caught - twice.

1:20:24.138,1:20:26.542
[br]Now you gotta live with it.

1:20:26.542,1:20:28.828
Do you know what today’s word is, huh?

1:20:28.828,1:20:33.524
No, but I guess you’re [br]gonna tell me, anyway.

1:20:33.524,1:20:47.615
PROGRESS: Painful Realizations Open [br]Gates, Reveal Errors, and Spark Success.

1:20:47.615,1:20:55.870
just like Jason Everman after [br]he left Nirvana and Soundgarden.

1:20:55.870,1:21:00.163
George, I only know what one of [br]those three things are.

1:21:00.163,1:21:06.224
You know when Lenna left, they came [br]crawling back for their job too.

1:21:06.224,1:21:08.777
[br]Said nobody was reading their blog,

1:21:08.777,1:21:12.822
they made a huge mistake, [br]needed a steady income.

1:21:12.822,1:21:14.798
Guess what I told them.

1:21:14.798,1:21:19.965
If you want a steady income, you might [br]wanna consider switching fields?

1:21:19.965,1:21:31.490
No. I told them they made their decision, [br]and they needed to see it through.

1:21:31.490,1:21:34.600
[br]And look at them now.

1:21:34.600,1:21:39.187
Can you imagine where they’d be right [br]if I had given them their job back?

1:21:39.187,1:21:43.621
As opposed to running the eighth [br]most popular music site in Queens?

1:21:43.621,1:21:46.728
I don't know.

1:21:46.728,1:21:49.748
[br]They grew something, David.

1:21:49.748,1:21:56.964
You can’t grow if you don’t step [br]outside of your comfort zone.

1:21:56.964,1:21:59.901
[br]You were too comfortable here.

1:21:59.901,1:22:03.408
Now you want me to [br]pull you outta the water

1:22:03.408,1:22:09.090
[br]because you don’t wanna sink,

1:22:09.090,1:22:19.444
you need to stay in the pool [br]and you need to learn how to swim.

1:22:19.444,1:22:24.716
[br]... is that what happened to your kids?

1:22:24.716,1:22:29.317
[br]Goodbye, David.

1:22:33.830,1:22:37.730
So I reached out to whoever would speak [br]to me about cases of advanced aging.

1:22:37.730,1:22:38.943
[br]What’d you find out?

1:22:38.943,1:22:41.797
Nothing. All I got was a bunch [br]of infographics about progeria.

1:22:41.797,1:22:44.777
Isn’t there like a database you [br]could look into or something?

1:22:44.777,1:22:47.219
There is, but I don’t have [br]access anymore.

1:22:47.219,1:22:49.232
Can't you just break in and steal it?

1:22:49.232,1:22:51.203
You literally have time [br]travel technology.

1:22:51.203,1:22:53.346
I don’t have time [br]travel technology.

1:22:53.346,1:22:58.520
I have a specific TempTech prototype that [br]allows me to visit other timelines.

1:22:58.520,1:23:00.575
It doesn’t have a [br]built-in hacker edition.

1:23:00.575,1:23:02.634
[br]We need to be moving faster on this.

1:23:02.634,1:23:04.578
You can’t just force a case [br]to move faster.

1:23:04.578,1:23:06.051
[br]When we find a new lead, we’ll -

1:23:06.051,1:23:09.046
I get that, but I’m kind of eating [br]out of my own savings here.

1:23:09.046,1:23:11.206
I’m barely gonna scrape [br]by on rent this month.

1:23:11.206,1:23:12.251
[br]I got Annie up my ass.

1:23:12.251,1:23:13.601
[br]Oh, good for you.

1:23:13.601,1:23:15.568
No, she’s up my ass about the rent.

1:23:15.568,1:23:17.725
[br]Hell yeah. Get bent, pay rent.

1:23:17.725,1:23:19.376
[br]What?

1:23:19.376,1:23:21.727
Maybe “up my ass” isn’t a [br]good thing in your timeline.

1:23:21.727,1:23:23.684
Whatever, just ask Amy for money.

1:23:23.684,1:23:26.316
I can’t. I promised my dad I’d be [br]less of a headache to her.

1:23:26.316,1:23:27.553
[br]Why would you promise that?

1:23:27.553,1:23:28.789
[br]Don’t you know yourself?

1:23:28.789,1:23:31.451
Look, you can’t just send me [br]a care package or something?

1:23:31.451,1:23:34.200
No, I can’t send anything [br]physically over the timeline.

1:23:34.200,1:23:35.504
[br]It’ll just be spaghettified.

1:23:35.504,1:23:38.335
Well, give me a stock tip or send [br]me some bitcoins or something.

1:23:38.335,1:23:40.724
No. I can’t interfere with your [br]timeline more than I already have.

1:23:40.724,1:23:42.426
[br]It’ll jeopardize the mission.

1:23:42.426,1:23:45.651
Let me get this straight, you want me [br]to kill someone in your timeline,

1:23:45.651,1:23:47.302
but you can’t even help me get on my feet?

1:23:47.302,1:23:48.601
[br]It’s not killing, it’s -

1:23:48.601,1:23:50.540
[br]I know what it is.

1:23:50.540,1:23:52.804
And you won’t help me because [br]you need me helpless, right?

1:23:52.804,1:23:55.879
Because that’s the only way I’ll [br]help you finish the mission

1:23:55.879,1:23:57.306
[br]Honesty is the best policy.

1:23:57.306,1:23:59.015
Is that seriously a yes?

1:23:59.015,1:24:01.328
I told you I needed you because [br]you were motivated.

1:24:01.328,1:24:04.747
And you don’t think I’ll be motivated unless [br]I’m being threatened with an eviction notice?

1:24:04.747,1:24:06.240
[br]David, this is not about you.

1:24:06.240,1:24:08.465
This is about stopping a murderer who has

1:24:08.465,1:24:10.691
killed more people than [br]you’ve ever even met.

1:24:10.691,1:24:12.797
You’re right, it can [br]make your life easier.

1:24:12.797,1:24:14.386
[br]That’s why you agreed to do this.

1:24:14.386,1:24:15.720
I am not your enemy, [br]I am your partner.

1:24:15.720,1:24:16.721
[br]You need to trust me.

1:24:16.721,1:24:17.847
I don’t even know you.

1:24:17.847,1:24:18.830
I’m literally you.

1:24:18.830,1:24:20.103
[br]You’re me but you’re not me.

1:24:20.103,1:24:21.131
[br]That’s what you said.

1:24:21.131,1:24:24.141
Well, I’m as close to you [br]as anyone is gonna get.

1:24:24.141,1:24:26.813
Look, I crossed the sixth [br]dimensional plane to find you.

1:24:26.813,1:24:28.129
[br]I made you a promise.

1:24:28.129,1:24:32.538
You don’t think I can deliver on it?

1:24:32.538,1:24:34.198
You don't think think I will deliver.

1:24:34.198,1:24:36.105
[br]Why, because that’s what you would do?

1:24:36.105,1:24:38.317
If I could teleport [br]to a different timeline?

1:24:38.317,1:24:39.964
[br]Yeah, I’d take the money and run.

1:24:39.964,1:24:43.359
[br]Well, like you said, I’m not you.

1:24:43.359,1:24:45.362
[br]Look, I’m not forcing you to do this.

1:24:45.362,1:24:48.217
[br]But you know what happens if you don’t.

1:24:48.217,1:24:50.417
How do I know what [br]you told me is the truth?

1:24:50.417,1:24:53.283
[br]Do you feel like it is?

1:24:56.135,1:24:58.300
How do you get past that?

1:24:58.300,1:25:02.468
I didn’t. I’m still that way, [br]I just got better at dealing with it.

1:25:02.468,1:25:03.889
[br]When?

1:25:03.889,1:25:06.951
I would say when [br]I joined the agency.

1:25:06.951,1:25:11.435
It wasn't the work itself, just... [br]having a purpose helps.

1:25:11.435,1:25:13.500
[br]You need to find your purpose.

1:25:13.500,1:25:16.230
What if this is a timeline [br]where I don’t have a purpose?

1:25:16.230,1:25:19.793
Then let this be your purpose.

1:25:19.793,1:25:22.313
And when we’re done, [br]you’ll find a new one.

1:25:25.431,1:25:28.329
You said there isn't an [br]Amy in your timeline.

1:25:28.329,1:25:29.350
[br]Don’t get nihilistic.

1:25:29.350,1:25:30.729
[br]I can’t deal with that shit.

1:25:30.729,1:25:32.606
[br]No, I’m just asking.

1:25:32.606,1:25:34.678
No, Amy doesn't exist in my timeline.

1:25:34.678,1:25:36.814
[br]So does she just not exist?

1:25:36.814,1:25:39.160
[br]She wouldn’t exist as you know her.

1:25:39.160,1:25:43.249
In your timeline, you - David - [br]have a sister named Amy.

1:25:43.249,1:25:46.901
In my timeline, I - also David - [br]do not have a sister named Amy.

1:25:46.901,1:25:49.953
There are other timelines where [br]you have a sister named Junebug,

1:25:49.953,1:25:51.964
or a father named Bobcat.

1:25:51.964,1:25:53.768
[br]Why are you asking me this?

1:25:53.768,1:25:56.985
Are there timelines where [br]the Fizzle Killer doesn’t exist?

1:25:56.985,1:25:58.185
[br]Absolutely.

1:25:58.185,1:25:59.926
[br]Is this one of them?

1:25:59.926,1:26:01.747
[br]He could exist in this timeline.

1:26:01.747,1:26:05.038
What if we found the person who [br]becomes the Fizzle Killer in this timeline

1:26:05.038,1:26:07.240
and then found the same [br]person in your timeline?

1:26:07.240,1:26:11.775
We’d have no way of knowing whether the same [br]person is the Fizzle Killer in my timeline.

1:26:11.775,1:26:15.312
They might have the same name, or they might [br]look the same, but that’s circumstantial.

1:26:15.312,1:26:16.959
It’s inter-dimensional profiling.

1:26:16.959,1:26:18.143
[br]But it might work?

1:26:18.143,1:26:19.252
[br]It might work.

1:26:19.252,1:26:21.121
We might also erase an innocent [br]person from existence.

1:26:21.121,1:26:22.701
[br]Aren’t you guys used to that by now?

1:26:22.701,1:26:24.020
[br]Used to what?

1:26:24.020,1:26:26.047
[br]It was a police joke. Never mind.

1:26:26.047,1:26:27.437
[br]We’re not the police.

1:26:27.437,1:26:28.836
[br]I mean the Temp Agency.

1:26:28.836,1:26:31.665
Yeah, we're the Temporal Agency

1:26:31.665,1:26:34.702
We deal in matters related to spacetime.

1:26:34.702,1:26:37.661
Spacetime... the Temp Agency [br]is part of NASA?

1:26:37.661,1:26:40.314
NASA deals with space, so, yeah.

1:26:40.314,1:26:41.902
What does space have to do with time?

1:26:41.902,1:26:44.287
It has literally everything to do with time.

1:26:44.287,1:26:47.241
To form a wormball, you need to warp gravity.

1:26:47.241,1:26:50.769
Gravity is weaker in space, [br]so time moves more slowly on Earth.

1:26:50.769,1:26:52.200
It’s called time dilation.

1:26:52.200,1:26:55.771
The first TempTech experiments [br]started because of Y2K paranoia.

1:26:55.771,1:26:57.898
They thought they could [br]send a bunch of couples

1:26:57.898,1:27:00.886
to planets where time moved [br]more slowly than on Earth.

1:27:00.886,1:27:03.309
That way if the world really did end,

1:27:03.309,1:27:06.697
they could wait it out and [br]return back to Earth to repopulate.

1:27:06.697,1:27:07.549
So much for that.

1:27:07.549,1:27:11.191
Yeah, you can kind of imagine why NASA [br]didn’t want that expense report getting out.

1:27:11.191,1:27:12.771
What happened to the astronauts?

1:27:12.771,1:27:13.887
Budgets.

1:27:13.887,1:27:15.554
NASA was already getting defunded,

1:27:15.554,1:27:18.965
but after Nine-Eleven nobody wanted [br]to bankroll a rescue mission.

1:27:18.965,1:27:21.007
The astronauts were lost.

1:27:21.007,1:27:22.820
They’re probably still out there.

1:27:27.410,1:27:30.119
Would it be possible for [br]us to get into NASA?

1:27:30.119,1:27:32.084
I told you, I don’t have access anymore.

1:27:32.084,1:27:33.492
Not in your timeline. In mine.

1:27:33.492,1:27:35.218
You mean, like, a walk-in appointment?

1:27:35.218,1:27:37.182
No, I mean like getting into their system.

1:27:37.182,1:27:38.689
You wanna hack NASA?

1:27:38.689,1:27:40.537
Remember the profile?

1:27:40.537,1:27:42.753
This is a guy who had a distant [br]relationship with his parents.

1:27:42.753,1:27:45.602
What if that distance [br]isn’t just metaphorical?

1:27:45.602,1:27:47.763
You think his parents might have [br]been some of the astronauts?

1:27:47.763,1:27:49.164
Think about it.

1:27:49.164,1:27:50.631
Guy grows up without his parents,

1:27:50.631,1:27:52.994
hears all the time what heroes they [br]are for shooting themselves into space.

1:27:52.994,1:27:55.346
Wants to live up to that sacrifice.

1:27:55.346,1:27:57.889
Goes into the family business.

1:27:57.889,1:27:59.957
You think the killer is a Temp Agent?

1:27:59.957,1:28:01.464
He’s a legacy hire.

1:28:01.464,1:28:04.897
But he has no real potential, [br]he’s stuck in his parents’ shadow.

1:28:04.897,1:28:07.261
That explains how he’s been [br]so good at evading us.

1:28:07.261,1:28:08.832
He knows how we think.

1:28:08.832,1:28:11.858
You were told The Agency [br]didn't want to pursue this.

1:28:11.858,1:28:15.580
Maybe someone didn’t [br]want you getting close.

1:28:15.580,1:28:18.233
Okay. If we got the list of astronauts,

1:28:18.233,1:28:21.390
we could cross-reference that with [br]names in the Agency.

1:28:21.390,1:28:25.623
But getting that list is risky. [br]Hacking NASA is no joke.

1:28:25.623,1:28:26.903
You can walk me through it.

1:28:26.903,1:28:29.249
You know all the passwords [br]and security questions.

1:28:29.249,1:28:30.996
I don’t know that stuff [br]from ten years ago.

1:28:30.996,1:28:32.443
I didn’t even work there then.

1:28:32.443,1:28:36.124
Even if I did, your timeline [br]might have subtle differences.

1:28:36.124,1:28:39.319
If even one thing goes [br]wrong, you go to jail

1:28:39.319,1:28:40.970
and I have to go look [br]for another David.

1:28:40.970,1:28:43.423
No offense, but you’re not [br]gonna be of much help from prison.

1:28:43.423,1:28:45.197
That's a risk I'm willing to take.

1:28:45.197,1:28:47.213
I thought you didn’t [br]wanna worry your sister.

1:28:47.213,1:28:50.763
Three square meals? [br]Regular housing? Home gym?

1:28:50.763,1:28:52.451
She’ll be proud of me.

1:28:52.451,1:28:55.498
Okay. Give me a couple days.

1:28:55.498,1:28:58.874
I can search Readdat and [br]some other hacker fivums.

1:28:58.874,1:29:03.044
See if anyone’s breached NASA’s [br]firewalls in the past.

1:29:03.044,1:29:06.543
In the meantime, you may not be [br]a free man much longer,

1:29:06.543,1:29:11.674
so, sow some wild oats [br]while you still can.

1:29:11.674,1:29:13.905
Is that not a saying here?

1:29:13.905,1:29:21.779
No, it is. I’ve just never heard [br]anyone say that in real life.

1:29:21.779,1:29:25.185
Maybe that’s because you never [br]had to think about it before.

1:29:29.325,1:29:31.385
(Amy) He’s got an [br]appointment for next week.

1:29:31.385,1:29:33.348
I just gotta figure out transportation.

1:29:33.348,1:29:34.861
But he’s going along with it?

1:29:34.861,1:29:38.387
Yeah. He’s been fine [br]about it. Kind of calm.

1:29:38.387,1:29:41.623
I think he’s, like, finally [br]accepting his mortality.

1:29:41.623,1:29:43.438
Well, good. We all have to.

1:29:44.568,1:29:46.140
“We all have to”?

1:29:46.140,1:29:49.590
Yeah. Do we not? Is it negotiable?

1:29:49.590,1:29:52.316
No. Usually you’d make a joke there, like,

1:29:52.316,1:29:54.576
“He’s accepting his mortality,

1:29:54.576,1:29:59.233
more like he’s accepting his throne [br]in the underworld” or something.

1:29:59.233,1:30:01.694
I dunno. It’s not a [br]very “you” thing to say.

1:30:01.694,1:30:03.917
Well, I’m not the things I say.

1:30:03.917,1:30:07.471
It’s the things we do that [br]make us who we are.

1:30:07.471,1:30:09.252
Yeah, no. That doesn’t sound like you.

1:30:09.252,1:30:10.443
What’s going on?

1:30:10.443,1:30:13.490
Work is a little... spicy right now.

1:30:13.490,1:30:17.482
Spicy like jerk chicken or spicy like IBS?

1:30:17.482,1:30:19.824
Spicy like exciting.

1:30:19.824,1:30:21.482
We might have had a break-in.

1:30:21.482,1:30:23.516
Oh my God. Did they steal anything?

1:30:23.516,1:30:26.027
Oh, no. I meant “breakthrough.”

1:30:26.027,1:30:27.932
I dunno why I said “break-in.”

1:30:27.932,1:30:29.690
Guilty conscience.

1:30:29.690,1:30:32.846
No, we just have to make [br]kind of a risky move.

1:30:32.846,1:30:35.149
It’s not dangerous or anything,

1:30:35.149,1:30:37.712
it’s just kind of a big [br]setback if it doesn’t pan out.

1:30:37.712,1:30:40.624
But if it works, we might get [br]what we need to catch the guy.

1:30:40.624,1:30:42.326
Oh. Well, good.

1:30:42.326,1:30:43.708
You’ll finally get paid.

1:30:43.708,1:30:45.820
Yeah. Annie'll be excited to hear that.

1:30:45.820,1:30:49.280
(Annie)[br]I can hear you, asshole!

1:30:49.280,1:30:52.110
I didn’t say anything bad about you.

1:30:52.110,1:30:57.664
(Annie)[br]Oh. Okay. Carry on.

1:30:57.664,1:31:02.771
So, once you finish the case, [br]is this gonna turn into a full-time gig?

1:31:02.771,1:31:06.449
No. The detective, this is like [br]a passion project for him.

1:31:06.449,1:31:09.319
Once we’re done, it’s over for him.

1:31:09.319,1:31:11.935
“Over”? Like, suicide--?

1:31:11.935,1:31:14.998
No, no, no, like he’s gonna go back [br]where he came from.

1:31:14.998,1:31:18.114
This is like his last job.

1:31:18.114,1:31:21.185
Oh, okay.

1:31:21.185,1:31:23.298
Can I be honest with you?

1:31:23.298,1:31:26.994
That depends. Is it the best policy?

1:31:26.994,1:31:34.512
I know this was something different [br]for you, and I’m glad about that, but...

1:31:34.512,1:31:36.591
you can’t even talk about the work.

1:31:36.591,1:31:39.595
And, I hate to be a mom, [br]but someone around here has to,

1:31:39.595,1:31:43.309
so, you can’t just take a job where you [br]don’t know if you’re ever gonna get paid.

1:31:43.309,1:31:44.084
[br]I know.

1:31:44.084,1:31:45.382
[br]You need something stable.

1:31:45.382,1:31:46.500
[br]I know.

1:31:46.500,1:31:48.130
[br]And something you actually enjoy doing.

1:31:48.130,1:31:51.296
I know, I was actually [br]gonna ask you about that.

1:31:51.296,1:31:55.033
The job with Lenna - [br]is that still a possibility?

1:31:55.033,1:31:56.725
[br]Well, I talked to them.

1:31:56.725,1:31:58.852
They weren’t happy with what George said.

1:31:58.852,1:32:02.701
But they also liked the [br]writing sample I sent them.

1:32:02.701,1:32:07.389
You sent them my writing? [br]What did you send?

1:32:07.389,1:32:13.534
Well, I... actually sent the one you [br]wrote in high school. About Mr. Kleio.

1:32:13.534,1:32:15.655
[br]You sent them “Trumpet Pumper”?!

1:32:15.655,1:32:21.689
Well, you hadn’t written any journalism and [br]it was the only thing that had to do with music.

1:32:21.689,1:32:23.437
[br]And they liked that?

1:32:23.437,1:32:27.939
They thought it was funny.[br]Juvenile, but funny.

1:32:27.939,1:32:30.851
They wouldn’t hire you [br]for a journalism position,

1:32:30.851,1:32:34.152
but, since they’re looking to expand,

1:32:34.152,1:32:37.454
they wanna try something [br]a little experimental?

1:32:37.454,1:32:39.551
[br]Like what?

1:32:39.551,1:32:43.306
[br]It would be, like, satirical reviews.

1:32:43.306,1:32:49.768
You would be sort of a personality with [br]these really off-color takes on new releases.

1:32:49.768,1:32:56.702
It’s entertainment, but with [br]music journalism as a side salad.

1:32:56.702,1:32:58.971
[br]What did you tell them?

1:32:58.971,1:33:01.451
I told them you’d be perfect for it,

1:33:01.451,1:33:03.398
but I also had to tell [br]them that you made

1:33:03.398,1:33:06.462
a very sudden career shift [br]without consulting me.

1:33:08.896,1:33:10.558
[br]You should email them.

1:33:10.558,1:33:12.248
[br]No! You should call them.

1:33:12.248,1:33:14.335
[br]Tell them you love the idea.

1:33:14.335,1:33:16.567
[br]People love verbal validation.

1:33:16.567,1:33:18.659
[br]You’re right, that’s a great idea Amy!

1:33:18.659,1:33:22.449
[br]Thanks, sarcastic dickhead!

1:33:22.449,1:33:24.461
[br]But seriously, do it.

1:33:24.461,1:33:26.474
Yeah. I’ll do it.

1:33:26.474,1:33:28.952
[br]So, how are you?

1:33:28.952,1:33:30.876
Who are you?

1:33:30.876,1:33:32.563
I know, I asked on my own for once.

1:33:32.563,1:33:35.006
[br]I must be a fuckin’ alien.

1:33:35.006,1:33:37.964
[br]I’m fine, David.

1:33:37.964,1:33:40.116
[br]I’m glad you and Phil got along.

1:33:40.116,1:33:42.381
[br]I’m glad you’re both doing okay.

1:33:42.381,1:33:45.285
[br]That’s how we’re doing. How are you?

1:33:45.285,1:33:51.172
[br]I dunno. I feel less worried for once.

1:33:51.172,1:33:53.560
[br]I don’t really think about myself a lot.

1:33:53.560,1:33:58.428
Well, when you do, [br]what do you think about?

1:33:58.428,1:34:02.721
I mostly just think that about [br]how I don’t wanna be here.

1:34:02.721,1:34:04.300
[br]Not forever at least.

1:34:04.300,1:34:09.200
Well, where do you want to be?

1:34:09.200,1:34:13.055
I feel like the thing I’m supposed [br]to say is that I wanna go college.

1:34:13.055,1:34:14.419
[br]But I don’t wanna say that.

1:34:14.419,1:34:18.407
Are you sure? U.U. is taking [br]applications for the spring.

1:34:18.407,1:34:21.223
Nah, I can do way better than U.U.

1:34:21.223,1:34:23.171
[br]Wow.

1:34:23.171,1:34:28.145
Well, maybe once I figure this [br]all out, I can help out with Phil.

1:34:28.145,1:34:33.044
I mean, I’m can't help him shower, but [br]like I can maybe send money at least.

1:34:33.044,1:34:35.709
You’re gonna send money [br]on a writer’s salary?

1:34:35.709,1:34:39.473
I’ll just... write a lot. [br]And maybe sell some parts.

1:34:39.473,1:34:41.750
[br]Just some ribs you’re not using.

1:34:41.750,1:34:43.655
[br]Hey, I’m right-handed.

1:34:43.655,1:34:46.769
If I write everything by hand, [br]I can sell this whole thing.

1:34:46.769,1:34:51.629
Just… let me worry about it [br]for once so you don’t have.

1:34:54.304,1:34:57.483
[br]I really wanna believe you, I do -

1:34:57.483,1:35:02.207
[br]I know. I’m gonna make sure you can.

1:35:02.207,1:35:04.977
[br]Thank you.

1:35:04.977,1:35:06.830
[br]You know what I’m gonna do?

1:35:06.830,1:35:11.357
I’m gonna go eat some sherbet [br]and find a new hobby on YouTube.

1:35:11.357,1:35:13.415
[br]Yeah. Do that.

1:35:13.415,1:35:16.797
Yeah I’m gonna do that. Don't forget to -

1:35:16.797,1:35:17.707
[br]Email Lenna.

1:35:17.707,1:35:18.804
[br]Call Lenna -

1:35:18.804,1:35:19.993
[br]I will call Lenna.

1:35:19.993,1:35:20.901
[br]And don’t -

1:35:20.901,1:35:23.005
[br]Don’t die on the job. I know. I won’t.

1:35:23.005,1:35:27.054
I was actually gonna say [br]“Don’t kill anyone.”

1:35:27.054,1:35:30.186
[br]No promises there.

1:35:30.186,1:35:33.591
[br]Yeah, sure. Bye, David.

1:35:33.591,1:35:36.464
[br]Bye.

1:35:41.590,1:35:42.893
[br]Annie!

1:35:42.893,1:35:44.896
(Annie)[br]Yeah?

1:35:44.896,1:35:48.632
How long have you been [br]able to hear me in my room?

1:35:48.632,1:35:50.543
(Annie)[br]Always!

1:35:50.543,1:35:53.896
[br]Do you hear me talk about my job?

1:35:53.896,1:35:55.873
(Annie)[br]You don’t have a job.

1:35:55.873,1:35:58.313
[br]You’re just talking to yourself.

1:35:58.313,1:36:00.980
[br]That is correct.

1:36:00.980,1:36:07.670
(Annie) It’s okay. Mental illness [br]is nothing to be ashamed of.

1:36:07.670,1:36:09.197
[br]That’s true, Annie.

1:36:09.197,1:36:11.947
[br]Thank you for understanding.

1:37:29.111,1:37:30.257
[br]Are you there?

1:37:30.257,1:37:33.528
Yeah, I’m here. What the [br]hell are you wearing?

1:37:33.528,1:37:34.725
[br]We’re hacking.

1:37:34.725,1:37:38.033
Yeah. Hacking. Not robbing [br]a Hot Topic at gunpoint.

1:37:38.033,1:37:41.734
Alright, here’s the plan. I did a bunch [br]of searching on the dark web.

1:37:41.734,1:37:44.746
I found a list of passwords from [br]a hack on NASA in my timeline.

1:37:44.746,1:37:47.121
[br]You can just find that on the Internet?

1:37:47.121,1:37:51.030
Yeah. Hackers just post that shit [br]online for people to find, it’s fantastic.

1:37:51.030,1:37:55.563
This list has thousands of NASA passwords [br]that are probably still current in your timeline.

1:37:55.563,1:37:58.343
All we need to do is find the [br]right target who has clearance

1:37:58.343,1:38:00.985
to the list of astronauts and [br]launch a dictionary attack.

1:38:00.985,1:38:02.278
[br]A dictionary attack?

1:38:02.278,1:38:03.835
Basically we’re throwing every [br]password we have at the system

1:38:03.835,1:38:05.393
until one of them works.

1:38:05.393,1:38:07.255
[br]I found the code for that online.

1:38:07.255,1:38:10.222
I sent it to you last night so all you [br]have to do is copy and paste.

1:38:10.222,1:38:14.547
I’m guessing that’s the email that says [br]“Die, Perish, Croak, Expire.”

1:38:14.547,1:38:16.732
Get it, ‘cause they’re “pass” words,

1:38:16.732,1:38:19.304
words you say when someone [br]passes - okay, never mind.

1:38:19.304,1:38:22.706
I also found a list of NASA employees [br]from this year but in my timeline.

1:38:22.706,1:38:26.220
I looked it over for targets who were likely [br]to have clearance to mission personnel.

1:38:26.220,1:38:29.043
I also narrowed it down to people [br]who were working for NASA

1:38:29.043,1:38:32.484
in the nineties when the first [br]TempTech experiments were running.

1:38:32.484,1:38:36.276
I see it. I am not going to repeat [br]what the subject line reads.

1:38:36.276,1:38:39.553
If one of these people has the [br]same password as their parallel self

1:38:39.553,1:38:42.631
in my timeline, you’ll be able to [br]get into their account easily.

1:38:42.631,1:38:44.028
[br]Ready to do this?

1:38:44.028,1:38:45.018
[br]I guess so.

1:38:45.018,1:38:47.136
You sure? Remember, [br]I’m here as an outsider.

1:38:47.136,1:38:48.927
Everything we’re doing right [br]now is changing the course

1:38:48.927,1:38:50.719
of your timeline permanently.

1:38:50.719,1:38:52.765
[br]If you get caught, there’s nothing I can do.

1:38:52.765,1:38:54.652
[br]You’re sure you wanna do this?

1:38:54.652,1:38:57.536
No. But I know what’s [br]gonna happen if I don’t.

1:38:57.536,1:38:58.567
[br]That’s the spirit!

1:38:58.567,1:38:59.839
Alright, let’s hack NASA.

1:38:59.839,1:39:02.651
I’m on the NASA login page.

1:39:02.651,1:39:04.716
[br]Cool. Cool. Open the list of targets.

1:39:04.716,1:39:05.612
[br]Open.

1:39:05.612,1:39:08.210
[br]Cool. Fire at will.

1:39:08.210,1:39:12.357
[br]Okay, sounds good. I’m gonna target...

1:39:12.357,1:39:13.857
[br]Literally just pick anyone.

1:39:13.857,1:39:14.897
[br]Alright, I’m gonna pick -

1:39:14.897,1:39:16.070
[br]You don’t have to tell me.

1:39:16.070,1:39:17.321
[br]Harrison Ford?

1:39:17.321,1:39:18.180
[br]Who?

1:39:18.180,1:39:20.670
Harrison Ford. This guy’s [br]name is Harrison Ford.

1:39:20.670,1:39:22.558
[br]Okay. So what? Hack his ass.

1:39:22.558,1:39:26.741
It’s just cool that his name is Harrison [br]Ford and he works at NASA.

1:39:26.741,1:39:30.861
Alright, alright. [br]I’m launching the attack.

1:39:30.861,1:39:32.113
[br]Is it supposed to do that?

1:39:32.113,1:39:34.603
Yeah. There’s like a couple [br]million passwords in there

1:39:34.603,1:39:37.304
so we just have to wait for [br]it to go through all of them.

1:39:37.304,1:39:39.944
[br]Just sit tight.

1:39:39.944,1:39:43.025
[br]So... who the fuck is Harrison Ford?

1:39:43.025,1:39:46.136
He’s the guy from - your timeline [br]doesn’t have Star Wars .

1:39:46.136,1:39:47.582
[br]Yes we do.

1:39:47.582,1:39:50.565
[br]Oh. Who played Han Solo?

1:39:50.565,1:39:52.489
[br]Christopher Walken. Who else?

1:39:52.489,1:39:53.608
[br]Oh God.

1:39:53.608,1:39:55.479
[br]What’s wrong with Christopher Walken?

1:39:55.479,1:39:58.401
[br]He’s... he’s weird. He’s just weird.

1:39:58.401,1:40:00.369
[br]You’re talking to yourself in a garage.

1:40:00.369,1:40:02.839
[br]Also, why are we in a garage?

1:40:02.839,1:40:05.382
Annie can hear us through [br]the walls in my room.

1:40:05.382,1:40:08.501
I figured it’d be better if she didn’t [br]overhear me hacking into NASA.

1:40:08.501,1:40:10.864
[br]Oh. Are you and Annie still...

1:40:10.864,1:40:11.896
[br]Still what?

1:40:11.896,1:40:14.017
[br]Look, we’re done.

1:40:14.017,1:40:15.762
[br]Oh, I’m sorry to hear that.

1:40:15.762,1:40:18.459
No, the dictionary attack [br]is done. No matches.

1:40:18.459,1:40:20.330
Guess it’s not the only one [br]who can’t find a match.

1:40:20.330,1:40:22.293
[br]Wha - Can you stay focused?

1:40:22.293,1:40:24.233
[br]Just pick another name off the list.

1:40:24.233,1:40:27.231
[br]Fine. I’m gonna pick -

1:40:27.231,1:40:28.510
[br]You don’t have to tell me.

1:40:28.510,1:40:29.749
[br]Ed Harris?

1:40:29.749,1:40:30.928
[br]You’ve gotta be kidding me.

1:40:30.928,1:40:31.766
[br]What?

1:40:31.766,1:40:35.465
There’s a guy named Ed Harris who [br]worked at NASA in the nineties.

1:40:35.465,1:40:37.645
Does everybody at NASA [br]have “Harris” in their name?

1:40:37.645,1:40:39.353
[br]No, it’s just a funny coincidence.

1:40:39.353,1:40:40.517
[br]How is that funny?

1:40:40.517,1:40:42.938
Because they both did [br]movies about being in space.

1:40:42.938,1:40:44.626
[br]Ed Harris was in Apollo 13 .

1:40:44.626,1:40:46.479
[br]Okay. He lives in Harlem, so what?

1:40:46.479,1:40:48.809
[br]Wha - never mind.

1:40:48.809,1:40:51.757
[br]God, why is hacking NASA so boring?

1:40:51.757,1:40:55.789
[br]It looks so fun on Mr. Robot .

1:40:55.789,1:40:57.649
[br]Please tell me you know what Mr. Rob -

1:40:57.649,1:41:00.554
Let’s just avoid pop culture [br]references from here on out.

1:41:00.554,1:41:03.596
[br]Sure.

1:41:03.596,1:41:05.619
[br]And... no matches.

1:41:05.619,1:41:09.102
How about that one. Laurence Cooper.

1:41:09.102,1:41:13.113
[br]Sure. Why not?

1:41:13.113,1:41:15.657
[br]Oh, shit. That was fast.

1:41:15.657,1:41:17.942
See what happens when you’re [br]not blinded by star power?

1:41:17.942,1:41:19.708
[br]Alright, copy paste and we’re in.

1:41:19.708,1:41:21.237
[br]Okay.

1:41:21.237,1:41:23.928
[br]Oh fuck. There’s security questions.

1:41:23.928,1:41:26.289
[br]I don’t have passwords for this.

1:41:26.289,1:41:30.089
“What walks on four legs in the morning, [br]two legs in the afternoon,

1:41:30.089,1:41:32.328
and three legs in the evening?”

1:41:32.328,1:41:33.902
[br]It’s the Riddle of the Sphinx.

1:41:33.902,1:41:34.981
[br]The answer is “man.”

1:41:34.981,1:41:36.102
[br]No, it’s “polymelius.”

1:41:36.102,1:41:37.752
[br]What? No.

1:41:37.752,1:41:40.968
This is NASA. They’re not literary [br]guys, they’re science guys.

1:41:40.968,1:41:42.466
[br]What the hell is polymelius?

1:41:42.466,1:41:44.499
Something the government [br]hasn’t told you about yet.

1:41:44.499,1:41:45.826
[br]It has a lot of legs.

1:41:45.826,1:41:48.866
[br]Are you sure the answer is “polymelius”?

1:41:48.866,1:41:51.801
Absolutely.

1:41:51.801,1:41:53.503
[br]You better be right about this.

1:41:53.503,1:41:56.562
P-O-L-Y-M-E-L-I-U-S.

1:41:56.562,1:41:58.177
(A computer ding)

1:41:58.177,1:41:59.472
[br]You were right.

1:41:59.472,1:42:04.000
“What is so fragile that when [br]you say its name it breaks?”

1:42:04.000,1:42:05.907
Silence. That’s so obvious.

1:42:05.907,1:42:07.681
[br]Put “Blaschka sea monster.”

1:42:07.681,1:42:08.407
[br]What is that?

1:42:08.407,1:42:13.595
It’s glass but not glass. It’s formed from [br]volcanoes. Trust me, it’s the right answer.

1:42:13.595,1:42:14.897
[br]Are you sure?

1:42:14.897,1:42:16.336
[br]I’ve been right so far.

1:42:16.336,1:42:18.043
[br]You’re risking my freedom on it.

1:42:18.043,1:42:20.548
[br]No, you’re the one risking your freedom.

1:42:20.548,1:42:23.194
[br]I promise, it’s the right answer.

1:42:23.194,1:42:24.891
[br]Blaschka?

1:42:24.891,1:42:30.119
[br]B-L-A-S-C-H-K-A.

1:42:30.119,1:42:31.349
(A computer ding)

1:42:31.349,1:42:35.106
[br]“What has thirteen hearts but no organs?”

1:42:35.106,1:42:36.294
[br]A deck of cards.

1:42:36.294,1:42:37.744
[br]Vestigial cockroach.

1:42:39.042,1:42:40.116
[br]V-E-S

1:42:40.116,1:42:41.612
[br]I know how to spell it.

1:42:44.237,1:42:45.642
(A computer ding)

1:42:45.642,1:42:46.967
[br]Of course it is.

1:42:46.967,1:42:48.762
[br]How many of these are there?

1:42:48.762,1:42:52.281
“What flies without wings?” [br]Time. Time flies.

1:42:52.281,1:42:54.594
[br]No. Telekinetic squirrel.

1:42:54.594,1:42:56.147
[br]Why do they all have to be animals?

1:42:56.147,1:42:58.251
[br]Maybe this guy Cooper just likes animals.

1:42:58.251,1:42:59.396
[br]How can it not be “time”?

1:42:59.396,1:43:01.916
We’re literally talking about [br]NASA and time travel.

1:43:01.916,1:43:03.181
[br]It’s too obvious.

1:43:03.181,1:43:06.920
[br]I’m telling you, “telekinetic squirrel.”

1:43:08.102,1:43:09.448
(A computer ding)

1:43:09.448,1:43:11.521
[br]Let’s pray this is the last one.

1:43:11.521,1:43:14.540
“What is the beginning of eternity, [br]the end of time and space,

1:43:14.540,1:43:18.066
the beginning of every end, [br]and the end of every race?”

1:43:18.066,1:43:19.289
[br]What’s the answer

1:43:19.289,1:43:21.588
[br]I... I don’t know.

1:43:21.588,1:43:23.285
[br]Are you serious?

1:43:23.285,1:43:25.139
There’s no animal at the [br]beginning of eternity.

1:43:25.139,1:43:26.504
[br]Trust me, I’ve seen it.

1:43:26.504,1:43:28.278
Your guess is as good as mine.

1:43:28.278,1:43:30.204
[br]Well, mine have all been wrong so far.

1:43:30.204,1:43:31.830
[br]Might as well give it a shot.

1:43:31.830,1:43:33.742
[br]We’re gonna get locked out if we don’t.

1:43:35.807,1:43:36.551
[br]What?

1:43:36.551,1:43:37.537
[br]Don’t put that.

1:43:37.537,1:43:38.704
(A computer ding)

1:43:38.704,1:43:40.699
[br]Huh. How’d you know?

1:43:40.699,1:43:43.356
The letter “E” begins or [br]ends all of the words.

1:43:43.356,1:43:45.480
I guess maybe they [br]are literary people.

1:43:45.480,1:43:46.897
[br]Well, good for us.

1:43:46.897,1:43:48.785
[br]Okay. Where would I find the list?

1:43:48.785,1:43:50.600
Try “Directory.

1:43:50.600,1:43:53.249
[br]“Manned Missions.”

1:43:53.249,1:43:54.779
[br]This is all ISS stuff.

1:43:54.779,1:43:57.293
[br]Yeah, it’s not gonna be in there.

1:43:57.293,1:43:59.122
[br]Maybe it’s hidden somehow.

1:43:59.122,1:44:01.172
We have clearance. [br]We should be able to see it.

1:44:01.172,1:44:02.741
[br]Well, what if they removed it?

1:44:02.741,1:44:04.440
Why would they remove it?

1:44:04.440,1:44:06.240
[br]They didn’t want hackers finding it.

1:44:06.240,1:44:09.254
Maybe that program [br]doesn’t exist in your timeline.

1:44:09.254,1:44:10.335
[br]It has to exist.

1:44:10.335,1:44:12.100
No, it doesn’t. It’s a difference [br]between our timelines.

1:44:12.100,1:44:13.100
No, hang on.

1:44:13.100,1:44:14.920
[br]Look, we came here on a long shot.

1:44:14.920,1:44:17.124
- There are other leads we can try -[br]- Just hang on

1:44:17.124,1:44:19.685
Could we use TempTech to [br]contact someone in the nineties?

1:44:19.685,1:44:22.656
Well, you were five then, and [br]we can’t involve someone else.

1:44:22.656,1:44:25.385
Besides, if I reach out from my timeline, [br]there’s no grandfather paradox

1:44:25.385,1:44:27.640
to stop your timeline from changing.

1:44:27.640,1:44:31.252
[br]So send me instead.

1:44:31.252,1:44:33.257
[br]Give me access to TempTech.

1:44:33.257,1:44:37.146
Send me the software, and I can log in to [br]Cooper’s account in nineteen-ninety-nine.

1:44:37.146,1:44:39.758
There’s no possibility of me being [br]caught, and I can’t change the timeline

1:44:39.758,1:44:43.261
because I can only cause events that [br]would have happened anyway.

1:44:43.261,1:44:45.287
This is what the Fizzle [br]Killer does, right?

1:44:45.287,1:44:47.904
He uses the grandfather [br]paradox to evade capture.

1:44:47.904,1:44:49.843
We might as well catch him [br]using his own loophole.

1:44:49.843,1:44:51.610
[br]I appreciate the poetry of that -

1:44:51.610,1:44:53.585
Please don’t say we shouldn’t [br]“stoop to his level.”

1:44:53.585,1:44:54.904
[br]I wasn’t going to say that.

1:44:54.904,1:44:57.067
Well, you’re not saying “yes” either, [br]so what are you saying?

1:44:57.067,1:45:00.869
[br]Do you want the list or not?

1:45:00.869,1:45:02.260
[br]You don’t trust me with it.

1:45:02.260,1:45:03.916
[br]That’s not true.

1:45:03.916,1:45:06.425
You think once I get access to TempTech [br]I’m not gonna complete the mission.

1:45:06.425,1:45:08.895
You told me, if it was you, [br]you’d take the money and run.

1:45:08.895,1:45:10.841
Well, maybe I’m not doing [br]this for me anymore.

1:45:10.841,1:45:14.104
[br]You asked me to trust you. I did.

1:45:14.104,1:45:17.103
[br]Now I need you to trust me.

1:45:17.103,1:45:21.223
What version of Mac are [br]you running? Sonora?

1:45:21.223,1:45:24.226
Uh, Mojave. It’s probably the same -

1:45:24.226,1:45:26.271
[br]It’s probably the same thing.

1:45:26.271,1:45:30.234
[br]I’m sending you the software now.

1:45:30.234,1:45:32.312
(A spacey sound)[br]Oh, shit.

1:45:32.312,1:45:33.986
[br]Yeah, it takes up a lot of space.

1:45:33.986,1:45:35.255
[br]You might need to delete some po-

1:45:35.255,1:45:37.887
No. I think Laurence Cooper[br]just logged into his account.

1:45:37.887,1:45:43.062
[br]Fuck. Pretend to be someone else.

1:45:49.238,1:45:50.672
[br]David?

1:45:50.672,1:45:54.188
[br]Honesty is the best policy.

1:45:56.436,1:45:57.816
(Another spacey sound)

1:45:57.816,1:45:59.444
[br]Shit.

1:45:59.444,1:46:01.004
[br]Just ward him off.

1:46:01.004,1:46:04.594
[br]Make him think you’re trying to help.

1:46:09.536,1:46:10.886
(The sound again)

1:46:22.001,1:46:23.001
(And again)

1:46:25.816,1:46:27.396
[br]Alright, good.

1:46:27.396,1:46:29.439
[br]No, fuck that. Just log out.

1:46:29.439,1:46:30.743
[br]Done.

1:46:30.743,1:46:32.559
[br]Alright, TempTech is installed.

1:46:32.559,1:46:34.832
Just warning you, it’s gonna [br]be a little weird at first.

1:46:34.832,1:46:36.348
Weird how? [br](A futuristic sound)

1:46:36.348,1:46:37.561
Oh, shit.

1:46:37.561,1:46:39.844
That’s just a spacetime warp. [br]It won’t hurt you.

1:46:39.844,1:46:43.158
[br]Better not fuck up my MacBook.

1:46:43.158,1:46:44.599
[br]Alright, what do I do now?

1:46:44.599,1:46:46.841
Key yourself in to the year [br]nineteen ninety-nine.

1:46:46.841,1:46:48.795
[br]Doesn’t matter what day or time.

1:46:48.795,1:46:50.895
[br]Alright.

1:46:50.895,1:46:54.458
Wow. So this is what the Internet [br]looked like in nineteen-ninety-nine.

1:46:54.458,1:46:57.064
[br]Yep, that’s exactly what it looked like.

1:46:57.064,1:46:58.922
[br]Alright, let’s head to NASA.

1:46:58.922,1:47:00.039
[br]Done.

1:47:00.039,1:47:01.615
[br]Log in as Laurence Cooper.

1:47:01.615,1:47:04.651
[br]Launch attack.

1:47:04.651,1:47:05.463
[br]Got it.

1:47:05.463,1:47:09.577
The good news is the security’s [br]gonna be much lower here.

1:47:09.577,1:47:11.191
[br]Found it.

1:47:11.191,1:47:15.453
And... here’s the list. [br]It’s not long, either.

1:47:15.453,1:47:20.699
[br]We could go through this today. Dude?

1:47:20.699,1:47:23.968
[br]Where’d you go?

1:47:23.968,1:47:26.610
Are you still there?

1:48:07.218,1:48:10.047
[br]Look like you’ve seen a ghost.

1:48:10.047,1:48:13.010
Dude, what the fuck is this?

1:48:13.010,1:48:14.526
[br]You tell me.

1:48:14.526,1:48:18.388
[br]It’s your timeline, I’m just living in it.

1:48:18.388,1:48:20.586
[br]This is my mother.

1:48:20.586,1:48:23.308
[br]She was one of the astronauts.

1:48:26.491,1:48:29.201
[br]You wanted me to find this.

1:48:29.201,1:48:32.334
I wanted you to figure [br]things out for yourself.

1:48:32.334,1:48:34.540
[br]Figure out what?

1:48:34.540,1:48:38.672
[br]Honesty is the best policy, David.

1:48:38.672,1:48:40.334
[br]So be honest with me.

1:48:40.334,1:48:43.107
Be honest with yourself. [br]What do you think?

1:48:43.107,1:48:45.238
[br]I’m not the Fizzle Killer.

1:48:45.238,1:48:47.285
[br]What makes you say that?

1:48:47.285,1:48:48.520
Because I’m not like you.

1:48:48.520,1:48:50.656
[br]Are we really that different, David?

1:48:50.656,1:48:52.618
[br]I don’t kill people, for one thing.

1:48:52.618,1:48:54.928
[br]Not yet.

1:48:54.928,1:48:59.060
I started with the Agency when[br]I was a little older than you are.

1:48:59.060,1:49:04.635
[br]After a few years, I started killing.

1:49:04.635,1:49:10.509
I realized I was aging faster than people [br]around me, so I turned to cryogenics.

1:49:10.509,1:49:12.564
[br]You froze yourself?

1:49:12.564,1:49:16.574
[br]Couple of months, here and there.

1:49:16.574,1:49:18.393
[br]Offset the aging.

1:49:18.393,1:49:20.373
[br]You waste a lot of vacation time.

1:49:20.373,1:49:23.930
[br]But when you’re committed to something,

1:49:23.930,1:49:25.610
[br]it’s worth it.

1:49:25.610,1:49:30.107
You think killing people is worth it? [br]What is it worth?

1:49:30.107,1:49:32.119
[br]It’s worth living for.

1:49:32.119,1:49:34.274
[br]I had to kill those people.

1:49:34.274,1:49:37.424
The timeline doesn’t [br]allow for paradoxes, David

1:49:37.424,1:49:40.391
[br]Only I could have killed those people.

1:49:40.391,1:49:42.315
[br]That was my purpose.

1:49:42.315,1:49:44.671
[br]And it’s your purpose, too.

1:49:44.671,1:49:46.005
[br]That is not my purpose.

1:49:46.005,1:49:48.213
[br]That is a depressing ass purpose.

1:49:48.213,1:49:50.412
[br]If it wasn’t, you wouldn’t be here.

1:49:50.412,1:49:52.994
I tried other Davids, David

1:49:52.994,1:49:55.905
[br]They weren’t willing to go this far.

1:49:55.905,1:49:57.474
[br]You did.

1:49:57.474,1:49:59.253
[br]You’re the one who wants this.

1:49:59.253,1:50:03.115
You offered to help me change my [br]past, not make me a murderer.

1:50:03.115,1:50:06.068
How do you think I [br]became the Fizzle Killer?

1:50:06.068,1:50:10.740
Someone came to me [br]just like I came to you.

1:50:10.740,1:50:16.036
[br]David, the universe brought us together.

1:50:18.071,1:50:20.297
[br]It doesn’t make mistakes.

1:50:20.297,1:50:22.588
[br]Yeah, but you did.

1:50:22.588,1:50:24.894
I won't become you.

1:50:24.894,1:50:26.999
[br]And I’m getting rid of TempTech right now.

1:50:26.999,1:50:31.215
[br]Go ahead. You’ll find your way back.

1:50:31.215,1:50:33.580
[br]First you’ll join the agency.

1:50:33.580,1:50:34.983
[br]I won’t join the agency.

1:50:34.983,1:50:37.811
[br]You’ll try to do good. You’ll fail.

1:50:37.811,1:50:42.631
You might succeed, but only [br]when the universe allows it.

1:50:42.631,1:50:46.013
If you really think that, [br]then why are you even here?

1:50:46.013,1:50:47.841
[br]Because I’m supposed to be.

1:50:47.841,1:50:52.126
You think having no choice in [br]what you do is a bad thing.

1:50:52.126,1:50:55.542
[br]But it’s not.

1:50:55.542,1:51:02.782
There are no mistakes, there is no “good” [br]or “bad,” the universe moves as it should.

1:51:02.782,1:51:07.012
[br]That’s not scary. It’s comforting.

1:51:07.012,1:51:12.600
Everything that has happened [br]was supposed to happen.

1:51:12.600,1:51:15.915
[br]If you don’t believe me, see for yourself.

1:51:15.915,1:51:16.989
[br]See what?

1:51:16.989,1:51:19.988
Finish the mission. [br]Erase the Fizzle Killer.

1:51:19.988,1:51:22.490
[br]You know who my mother is.

1:51:22.490,1:51:24.196
[br]You have TempTech.

1:51:24.196,1:51:26.800
Go to my timeline, [br]stop me from being born.

1:51:26.800,1:51:30.413
[br]You can do it right now, I won’t stop you.

1:51:34.406,1:51:35.659
[br]No.

1:51:35.659,1:51:37.635
[br]Because you’re afraid it won’t work?

1:51:37.635,1:51:40.580
[br]No. I think you want it to work.

1:51:40.580,1:51:42.596
[br]You want me to erase you.

1:51:42.596,1:51:44.624
[br]Because that’s what you would want?

1:51:44.624,1:51:48.743
You know, I really thought we [br]were past the edgelord shit.

1:51:48.743,1:51:51.525
No, you want this because you [br]don’t actually live for anything.

1:51:51.525,1:51:54.613
I was right from the beginning, [br]this is a fucking chain letter.

1:51:54.613,1:51:58.305
Dude, I’m sorry another David [br]came and convinced you

1:51:58.305,1:52:01.998
this was what made your [br]life meaningful, but it’s not.

1:52:01.998,1:52:04.845
The only reason you’re doing [br]this is because you want to prove

1:52:04.845,1:52:07.977
that other Davids feel the same way [br]you do, and none of them do.

1:52:07.977,1:52:10.503
None of the other ones [br]did, and neither do I.

1:52:10.503,1:52:12.790
[br]You don’t have to believe me now.

1:52:12.790,1:52:23.786
But you will. You‘ll realize [br]this is where you belong.

1:52:23.786,1:52:26.110
The only thing I’ve realized [br]is where you belong.

1:52:26.110,1:52:31.012
And where is--

1:52:31.012,1:52:33.456
(Future David)[br]David!

1:52:37.526,1:52:42.640
Really? You know you can’t [br]just walk away from me

1:52:44.470,1:52:46.010
(Future David)[br]You’ll be back!

1:52:46.010,1:52:50.672
I know. I’ll have to sell that [br]TV to pay my rent this month.

1:52:50.672,1:52:53.410
So Amelia tells me your [br]boss ran out on you.

1:52:53.410,1:52:56.329
Yeah, he had to do some [br]kinda undercover thing.

1:52:56.329,1:52:57.683
[br]He say where he went?

1:52:57.683,1:53:00.720
Nah, he’s keeping a [br]lid on the whole thing.

1:53:00.720,1:53:03.031
What’s he doin’? Livin’ in [br]someone’s dumpster?

1:53:04.521,1:53:05.872
[br]Yeah.

1:53:05.872,1:53:08.673
[br]He’s nuts. What’d I tell ya?

1:53:08.673,1:53:13.043
You follow someone too closely, [br]pretty soon you’re as crazy as them.

1:53:13.043,1:53:14.690
[br]So what are you gonna do?

1:53:14.690,1:53:17.255
[br]Amy set me up with a music journalism gig.

1:53:17.255,1:53:19.808
[br]Music journalism? Is that still a thing?

1:53:19.808,1:53:23.140
You’re just jumpin’ from one [br]dyin’ industry to another.

1:53:23.140,1:53:24.287
[br]They’re all dying.

1:53:24.287,1:53:27.168
Yeah, but next thing you know [br]you’ll be workin’ in a cemetery.

1:53:27.168,1:53:29.494
Everybody’s dying to get in.

1:53:29.494,1:53:31.236
Isn’t that what you said? [br]Everybody’s dying?

1:53:31.236,1:53:33.857
[br]Yeah, I’ll eat my own words on that one.

1:53:33.857,1:53:36.119
Good. You can have that [br]instead of Brilliant Pebbles.

1:53:36.124,1:53:38.663
Oh, you want me to [br]talk about Russia again?

1:53:38.663,1:53:41.306
- It was nineteen-eighty-eight.[br]- I'm not listening to this.

1:53:41.306,1:53:44.900
- Reagan and Gorbachev -[br]- I'm not listening to this

1:53:44.900,1:53:47.286
[br]Amy! Shut it down!

1:53:47.286,1:53:49.676
[br]I’m tryin’ to teach you history.

1:53:49.676,1:53:51.746
[br]I know. You’re just very bad at it.

1:53:54.361,1:53:57.202
[br]Phil, be honest with me for a second.

1:53:57.202,1:53:58.634
[br]I’m always honest with you.

1:53:58.634,1:53:59.871
[br]No, seriously.

1:53:59.871,1:54:01.798
[br]Oh, now we’re serious all of a sudden.

1:54:01.798,1:54:06.118
[br]Go ahead, I got nothin’ better to do.

1:54:06.118,1:54:08.617
[br]Why did Mom leave?

1:54:11.577,1:54:17.062
I told you. She had [br]somethin’ important to do.

1:54:17.062,1:54:20.954
[br]She didn’t wanna leave us. But she had to.

1:54:20.954,1:54:23.019
[br]Where’d she go?

1:54:23.019,1:54:27.612
[br]Honestly? I dunno.

1:54:27.612,1:54:31.470
[br]I don’t think anyone knows. Not even her.

1:54:34.518,1:54:37.955
I’m sorry, Phil. I know [br]that was hard for -

1:54:37.955,1:54:40.182
Oh God. Alright, we had the serious talk,

1:54:40.182,1:54:43.339
can we shift to a lighter [br]topic of conversation?

1:54:43.339,1:54:46.722
[br]Sure. How’d it go at the doctor?

1:54:46.722,1:54:47.857
[br]How is that light?

1:54:47.857,1:54:50.931
Depending on the answer, [br]it could be pretty funny.

1:54:50.931,1:54:53.321
[br]It’s just bronchitis and dehydration.

1:54:53.321,1:54:54.358
[br]What’d I tell you?

1:54:54.358,1:54:56.271
[br]Your sister worries too much.

1:54:56.271,1:54:59.095
Unless I get hit by a truck, [br]I’m not dyin’ anytime soon.

1:54:59.095,1:55:00.188
[br]Aw.

1:55:00.188,1:55:03.413
[br]I know, all that planning for nothing.

1:55:03.413,1:55:08.774
You don’t understand; I ordered [br]a Cookie Puss from Carvel.

1:55:08.774,1:55:11.449
Seriously though, Phil, [br]I’m glad you’re alright.

1:55:13.129,1:55:14.421
Yeah, me too.

1:55:14.421,1:55:16.659
Alright, I gotta go piss [br]out some Skittles.

1:55:16.659,1:55:17.804
[br]Thanks for callin’.

1:55:17.804,1:55:19.194
[br]Let’s do it again next week.

1:55:19.194,1:55:20.753
[br]Can you recover by then?

1:55:20.753,1:55:21.995
[br]From pissin’ or from you?

1:55:21.995,1:55:25.146
From me? You realize you’re [br]the one I get all this from, right?

1:55:25.146,1:55:26.499
[br]What’d I say?

1:55:26.499,1:55:28.046
[br]Don’t follow people too closely.

1:55:28.046,1:55:29.793
Never know what’s gonna [br]come out the other end.

1:55:29.793,1:55:33.340
Don’t worry, Amy’s told me exactly [br]what comes out your other end.

1:55:33.340,1:55:39.183
What?! Amelia! I told you, she’s [br]like fuckin’ NASA. Amelia!

1:55:39.183,1:55:43.457
- What? I’m making puppets. [br]- Are you telling him all my secrets?

1:55:43.457,1:55:46.629
(Amy) Well, someone has to. [br]You don’t tell anyone anything.

1:55:46.629,1:55:49.382
When have I ever been [br]less than honest with you?

1:55:49.382,1:55:51.367
(Amy) You really have to ask that?

1:55:51.367,1:55:53.665
[br]Dave, back me up here.

1:56:27.705,1:56:33.627
♪ (Rhythmic music) ♪

1:57:00.950,1:57:05.157
(A phone ringtone)

1:57:11.715,1:57:13.346
[br]Hello?

1:57:13.346,1:57:15.150
[br]Howdy, am I speaking to David?

1:57:15.150,1:57:16.951
Uh, which one?

1:57:16.951,1:57:20.844
Hi, David. This is Larry C. [br]I work for STAB.

1:57:20.844,1:57:24.424
We’ve been speaking about your interest [br]in our program over the past few days.

1:57:24.424,1:57:26.391
[br]Yeah, we haven’t been speaking.

1:57:26.391,1:57:29.583
You’ve kinda just been sending [br]me unsolicited messages.

1:57:29.583,1:57:31.918
[br]But we have spoken.

1:57:31.918,1:57:36.249
In fact, I’m pleased as a first-prize pickle [br]about your recent interest in STAB.

1:57:36.249,1:57:40.267
Dude, I’m not interested. I don’t [br]even know what STAB is.

1:57:40.267,1:57:43.140
[br]We’re a new subdivision of NASA.

1:57:43.140,1:57:46.348
[br]The “Space Time Adjustment Bureau.” STAB.

1:57:46.348,1:57:48.634
[br]Not the most inviting name, is it?

1:57:48.634,1:57:50.342
[br]We’ll change it someday.

1:57:50.342,1:57:53.130
[br]What did you say your name was again?

1:57:53.130,1:57:58.710
[br]Larry. But my government name is Laurence.

1:57:58.710,1:58:01.428
[br]Laurence Cooper.

1:58:01.428,1:58:05.142
You know, I’ve been looking for [br]you for quite some time, David.

1:58:05.142,1:58:07.909
[br]About twenty years, as a matter of fact.

1:58:07.909,1:58:12.819
I’ve been trying to figure out how I got [br]hacked in nineteen-ninety-nine

1:58:12.819,1:58:18.237
from a MacBook that wasn’t manufactured [br]until two-thousand fifteen.

1:58:18.237,1:58:22.741
That sounds rough. [br]You should ask Apple about that.

1:58:22.741,1:58:26.770
That sounds like some [br]Terminator shit, don’t it?

1:58:26.770,1:58:31.355
I thought maybe the Woz beat us to [br]the punch and built time travel computers.

1:58:31.355,1:58:34.104
[br]Boy, was I wrong.

1:58:34.104,1:58:36.143
[br]But I waited.

1:58:36.143,1:58:40.206
[br]I waited like a snake hunting shrews.

1:58:40.206,1:58:44.385
Finally, I tracked down that [br]MacBook and it led me to you.

1:58:44.385,1:58:46.616
[br]And then I waited some more,

1:58:46.616,1:58:50.409
sent some messages [br]hoping you’d take the bait.

1:58:50.409,1:58:56.103
And boy did you take it when you [br]hacked into my account the other day.

1:58:56.103,1:59:01.117
Now, what I don’t understand is, [br]how did a wannabe writer

1:59:01.117,1:59:06.132
with a deadbeat dad and a stay-at-home sister [br]get access to that kind of technology?

1:59:06.132,1:59:10.134
[br]But I know you can tell me.

1:59:17.430,1:59:19.951
[br]You still there, David?

1:59:19.951,1:59:23.247
[br]David, are you still there?

1:59:23.247,1:59:29.141
Yep. I’m still here.
