Timecop - Van Damme Sci-Fi 1994 English
[ HORSES WHINNYING ]
[ SOLDIER YELLS INDISTINCTLY ]
[ SOLDIER ] Whoa, whoa.
Easy.Easy.
- Morning. - Morning.
Y'all mind stepping aside?
- You know what I think? - No, sir, I don't.
I think you got yourselves a shipment of gold in that waggon...
that you're bringing to General Lee.
[ SOLDIER ] And just who might you be? A friend of the Confederacy.
Why don't y'all just show us what a good friend you are by stepping aside?
I'd be most happy to...
except first, I'd be much obliged if you'd give me that gold.
[ CHUCKLES ]
- I don't think I heard you correct. - I think you did.
I'd like that gold now.
Listen, mister, it ain't very nice out here, as you can plainly see.
There are five of us. I don't know what y'all are about.
If you don't step aside now, I'd just as soon kill you as not.
You wanna die out here in this miserable weather? That's your choice.
I'm gonna ask you one more time.
Would you please give me the gold?
[ SPOTA ] Good afternoon, senators.
The president is very grateful for your time here.
Believe me, this is a matter of the utmost importance.
I cannot stress too much the utmost secrecy.
Why don't you just cut out the shit, George?
You're here to ask the committee for money, so come on out and ask for it.
[ SPOTA ] Thanks for the advice, senator. You're right, I am gonna ask you for money.
And guess what else? You're gonna give it to me.
You all remember Dr. Hans Kleindast, the Nobel laureate...
who helped us during the space program? For the past 20 years, he's been trying...
to keep his face off the cover of TIME magazine, doing research.
His field of research has been time travel.
- Time travel? - [ SPOTA ] Yeah, time travel.
- Well, beam me up, Scotty. - [ SPOTA ] That's very funny, senator.
- Wanna know what's funnier than that? - I get the feeling he's gonna tell us.
The funny thing is, the good doctor actually did it.
I thought that would get your attention. That's right, he did it.
The technology's all in the folders in front of you. You won't understand it.
Now, you can't go forward, because the future hasn't happened yet.
However, you can go back, and that's where things get real tricky.
Turns out, if you go back and change something, it's serious.
It could be catastrophic. Like throwing a stone in a lake...
and it causes ripples in the water. Only, they're ripples in time.
So you can't go back and kill Hitler, much as we'd all like to...
because it could cause a chain reaction of events...
that could alter or even destroy mankind.
And that, my good senators, is where you come in.
We have to form a brand-new covert agency...
to police this technology and to actually protect time.
It's gonna be called the Time Enforcement Commission, or the T.E.C.
This man is Commander Eugene Matuzak of the Washington Police Department.
He is our choice to run the commission.
How much is this gonna cost?
- A lot. - How much is a lot?
More than a little and less than too much.
This is not a good time to ask for money. You know, the economy...
Suppose one of our foreign competitors goes back in time and invents the computer?
Or the aeroplane or auto mobile?
Wanna talk about the state of the American economy?
How about this one? Saddam Hussein finances a trip back to 1944.
He gets our technology and Iraq becomes the first country to have the atomic bomb.
- Oh, you like that one. - Not bad.
Try this one on for size. We think there's already been a ripple. Ten days ago.
CIA broke up an arms sale to Middle-Eastern terrorists in Hamburg, Germany.
That's happened before, so that news doesn't come across the president's desk.
What made this one different is that the purchase was made with gold bullion.
And the gold bullion was dated 1863 and stamped:
Property of the Confederate States of America.
We had it carbon tested and authenticated, and it's real.
Now, just think about what I'm saying.
Going back in time is a pretty easy way to make money.
Our committee would have exclusive jurisdiction over this program?
Yours and yours alone, and no one can know about this. It's too dangerous.
That's very good, George.
Personally, I think this sounds like that bullshit Star Wars program.
You'll probably get your money.
Anyone here wanna chair the oversight on this program?
Yeah, I'll do it.
Ah. Young Senator McComb. Why not?
You'll like him, George.
He's very much like you, except his dorsal fin's a bit bigger.
[ CHATTERING ]
[ SOFT MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS ]
[ CLOCKS CHIMING ]
[ MAN ] There's never enough time.
Never enough for what?
To satisfy a woman.
Then you never wanna miss an opportunity.
Are you busy?
I'm meeting my husband.
If I were him, I would not keep you waiting.
If he's not here when I turn around, I'll go home with you.
You'll do.
- I didn't hear you leave this morning. - It was early. I was meeting with Matuzak.
Are you gonna take that job?
- What? - Be right back.
[ WOMAN SCREAMING ]
Read it.
- Wolverine? - Between the lines.
- I should get the fuck out of here. - Good.
You know, that purse doesn't look good on you.
- Thank you. - Glad you're not hurt.
- Are you okay? - Thank you.
Smart kid. He read my mind.
With your English, he doesn't have much choice.
Hey, I know all the good words.
[ MELISSA LAUGHS ]
[ MELISSA ] You didn't answer my question. Are you gonna take this job?
[ MAX ] I think so.
[ MELISSA ] Is this T.E.C. thing dangerous?
I don't bake cookies for a living.
- Will you have to travel? - Not the way you think.
Pictures bring back your memories.
Aw. You're gonna be very happy you have this.
Why?
I can see into the future.
[ MAX ] You can see the future, huh? [ MELISSA ] Mm-hm.
- What do you see? - I see it's gonna rain.
We both have the afternoon off.
Why don't we go and practise some of those words you seem to like so much?
- Max? - Hm?
What?
I have something I wanna tell you.
[ PHONE RINGING ]
- Shit. I'm sorry. - Don't answer it.
Just this once, don't answer it.
I have to.
Walker.
Now?
Oh, Jesus Christ. Can you find somebody else?
Look, somebody called in sick and...
And there's nobody but Max Walker to keep the streets safe.
I said I was sorry. It's not like I have a choice.
Of course you have a choice.
- This is what I do. - I know that's what you do.
It's just that things are different now.
What are you talking about?
- This isn't the way I wanted to do this. - I have to go.
There's something you need to tell me?
Yes.
- Can you wait until I get back? - Sure.
[ GRUNTS ]
Surprise.
[ MELISSA SCREAMING ]
[ MELISSA ] Max!
Max!
- Max! - Melissa.
- Max! - Finish him.
Who are you?
You're a smart boy. Why don't you sleep on it a while?
[ DEVICE FIRING ]
Max!
[ COUGHING ]
[ MELISSA ] Max!
[ SCREAMING ]
Max! Max!
[ MAN 1 ] There's nothing funny to see over there, it's just another jumper.
As soon as this car clears, I want you to go.
Hang on there, buddy. [ MAN 2 ] All right, folks, that's close enough.
Close enough. Thank you. Step back, folks. [ WOMAN ] Did you see what happened?
[ MAN 2 ] Come on, break it up. There's nothing to see.
Go back to work. Come on. Come on, now. Come on, now.
Break it up. Go back to work. Come on. Come on, get out of here.
[ HORN HONKS ]
Good morning, Mr. Atwood.
- Morning, Charlie. - It's a terrible day.
- BOY: Paper, mister? - Beat it.
- Terrible. - [ ATWOOD ] What's going on?
[ CHARLIE ] Mr. Floatbauer.
[ WOMAN 1 ] He swan dived right out the window.
He went off the roof.
Oh, yeah. Well, shit happens. Excuse me.
[ WOMAN 2 ] Oh, that poor man.
[ ATWOOD WHISTLING ]
Good morning, Pete. [ PETE ] Good morning, Mr. Atwood.
Third jumper this week. They keep this up, Pete, you're gonna be out of a job.
Only going down, sir.
[ MAN 1 ] There he is. [ MAN 2 ] You've got the papers...
- Oh, Mr. Atwood, isn't this terrible? - Tragic.

[ ATWOOD CHUCKLES ]
Get me Ross.
Ross, hi. Yeah, listen.
I want another 100,000 shares of Middle States Oil.
No, no, no. Just buy it. It's an act of faith.
I really think things are gonna turn around. I got a feeling about the future.
Hey, look, I gotta go. I'm very busy.
- Walker. - How have you been, Lyle?
- How you doing, partner? - Ex-partner.
Max. I'm not gonna change a thing.
The only ripples are gonna be in my swimming pool.
It's a nice place.
You couldn't do this by yourself. Who you working for?
Look, I'm not hurting anybody.
It's America, man. You know, I was just taking an opportunity, that's all.
I've got to take you back.
I went 10 rounds with John L. Sullivan himself.
I saw Tyson beat Spinks on TV.
[ GRUNTING ]
[ GROANS ]
- Mr. Atwood... Ah! Oh, my God. - Get down.
[ PEOPLE SCREAMING ]
[ GUN CLICKING EMPTY ]
Doesn't look too good, Lyle.
[ ATWOOD ] Let me go, Max. I'll stay here. I won't go back.
- Who sent you? I want the name. - It's not gonna make any difference.
In a few weeks, this guy's gonna run the whole country.
If he doesn't get the money here, he's gonna get it somewhere else.
I can't tell you anything.
He'll send somebody back to wipe out my grandparents.
It'll be like I never existed. My mother, my father, my wife, my kids, my fucking cat.
You ever hear of the name Aaron McComb? Senator McComb?
- Bullshit. - You don't understand.
He's gonna be president. He's doing this to get money for his campaign.
Shit, Max, he already owns most of the guys we work with.
When we get back, you'll point them out.
You're out of your mind. This guy's gonna roll right over you.
- We'll see. Let's go. - Listen to me.
If I go back and talk, my family is dead.
I'm talking about my f... My family.
If I die here, it's only me. I can't go back.
I have to bring you back. I have no choice.
Neither do I.

[ WOMAN OVER SPEAKERS ] Lieutenant Clapton, 0316. Lieutenant Clapton.
Testify and I'll do what I can.
[ MAN OVER SPEAKERS ] Communication relays rerouted to Alpha-0.
Captain Lyle Atwood, you are charged with violations...
of T.E.C. code 40.8 subsection 9, time travel with intent to alter the future.
The charges are compounded by your current status...
as a time-enforcement officer.
- Does the defendant have any statement? - Tell her.
Agent Atwood, have you something to say on your own behalf?
- Yes. - No.
Then I will pass sentence as mandated by our charter.
Say something. Come on. Say something.
- The defendant has been found guilty. - Take care of yourself, Max.
Sentence of death to be carried out immediately.
[ SCREAMING ]
Poor bastard. Tomorrow might have been a brighter day.
[ MATUZAK ] We're picking up some noise outside Camp David, '79.
Intelligence thinks it's a kill team out of Iran.
[ MAN ] If it is, it's their third try this year.
CIA's trying to locate their launch facility and take it out.
I want two teams on this date, before and after. Let's smoke these guys.
Los Angeles, 1902. Somebody's trying to get a jump on the real-estate boom.
They're buying what's gonna be Beverly Hills for chump change.
- Burr, you and Swain got the deal. - Yes, sir.
You look like shit.
- We have to talk. - In a minute.
- Now. - I said, in a minute.
[ WOMAN OVER SPEAKERS ] Temporary wave guide shutdown in three minutes.
Shit. Go over your dispatch notes and check with me before you launch.
[ MAN ] All right. [ SPOTA ] Good afternoon, gentlemen.
- George. - Gene.
- Senator Nelson, T.E.C. Director Matuzak. - Mr. Matuzak.
Senator Nelson is the newest member of the Oversight Committee.
He's gonna vote on your annual budget, he'd like to see how it's being spent.
Senator McComb, our long-standing committee chairman...
agreed to take time out from his presidential campaign to accompany us.
Senator.
It'll be a pleasure to show you around.
[ NELSON ] Tell me, are these all of your agents?
[ MATUZAK ] Most of them.
Agent Monroe. Agent Anderson. Agents Burr, Bartolo and Shepherd.
- Agent Walker. - Agent Walker.
- I've heard a great deal about you. - And I've heard a lot about you, senator.
Not all of it bad, I hope.
Agent Walker just returned from a successful mission.
Well, congratulations, Agent Walker.
Senator, Director Matuzak will show you the launch room.
Follow me. I'll show you where we kick off.
Gene, you wouldn't mind if Agent Walker accompanied us, would you?
I'd love to hear about his most recent mission.
- I have a report to file. - Agent Walker would be delighted.
[ MAN OVER SPEAKERS ] All units, switch to T.E. C. Channel three.
All units, switch to T.E.C. channel three.
[ MATUZAK ] As you can see, we've spared every expense.
No comfort, no convenience, no necessities. Watch your head.
So, Agent Walker, your latest mission, who were you after?
A man named Atwood. Ring a bell?
Atwood. No. Should that name be familiar to me?
- Unfortunately, Atwood was a T.E.C. agent. - Really?
That's the sort of thing that happens. I don't wanna sound like a broken record...
but that's one of the dangers of having an agency like this.
Imagine the dangers of not having it.
- Did you know this Atwood? - He was my partner.
Oh, I'm sorry. Nothing worse than a rogue cop.
- Except the guy who paid him. - If there is such a guy.
- There always is. - Do you know who the man is?
- Oh, yeah. - Why don't you arrest him?
- I lost my witness. - Oh.
- Well, I trust you'll keep working on it. - You can bet on it.
[ MAN OVER SPEAKERS ] Hydrogen specialists, prepare for inspection.
We've updated our entire operation to state-of-the-art Parker Datalink Systems...
utilising their superconducting chip.
[ SPOTA ] Senator McComb was Jack Parker's partner...
and sold out just before the company got the patent on that chip.
- Bet that cost you a few billion, huh? - Whoa, bad luck.
My deal with Jack Parker is not important, Mr. Spota.
What is important is talking about the dangers of this program.
- Boy, you got my vote. - Excuse me. What dangers?
Well, dishonest agents like this Atwood. Every time an agent goes back...
he risks making contact with a past version of himself. That could be a disaster.
And why is that, sir?
The same matter can't occupy the same space at the same time.
It's in the technical reports. However, it's never happened.
Not yet, but what I propose is far less costly yet accomplishes the same thing.
Why don't we just prevent time travel...
rather than spending stupendous amounts of money trying to police it?
Gentlemen, I have to get back to the Hill.
Malcolm, this is a project that we could do without.
I hope you vote against continued appropriations.
I admire your dedication, Agent Walker.
- I hope you keep trying to get your man. - I never quit.
[ LAWRENCE ] We've done a breakdown of the latest poll results.
While trends are not what we want them to be...
there are some good things that we can utilise.
The numbers in the suburbs are encouraging but they are killing you in the urban centres.
A poll shows you're gaining with the Pro-Life, Pro-Death Penalty coalition...
and with the Close Our Border America for Americans Anti-Immigration faction.
The bad news is the campaign finance chairman put together a projected budget...
based on estimated costs from now to Election Day, and it's a big number.
Even going back again, I don't see how you could get it all in time.
Lawrence, I love you. I really do. But don't tell me what I can't do.
Elections are won with television. You don't need the press, don't need endorsements.
You don't even need the truth. You need money.
So tell me. How much is it gonna cost to buy the network time I need?
- Fifty million dollars. - Fifty million dollars.
Agent Walker has already cost me that. I'm gonna have a little chat with him.
The kind of chat a man remembers for a lifetime.
[ MATUZAK ] Sure is a handsome devil, isn't he?
- He's not my type. - [ MATUZAK ] What did you wanna talk about?
What do you know about him?
Capable of eating his young.
He sure seemed interested in you this afternoon.
He interests me.
- Atwood named him. - You're shitting me.
- He's the one who sent him back. - So why didn't he testify?
He said McComb would go after his family.
He also said McComb has half of the agency. I believe him.
He doesn't have me.
I said, he doesn't have me.
- Well, fuck you too. - He's gonna close the agency.
Then no one can stop him from going back.
- This one is mine. - Not unless I say it is.
The son of a bitch is a presidential candidate.
If you haul him in, you better have enough evidence to plug up the Potomac River.
- You believe me? - I always believe you.
But you're not always right.
Yeah.
Turn off that machine and come over for dinner. Carol would love to see you.
Thanks. Some other time.
You're allowed to have a life. I read it in a manual some place.
I'll tell you this. If I cannot go back to save her...
this scum bag is not going back to steal money.
Go home, Max.
If you won't come to mine, go to yours.
And by the way, when I said McComb hasn't bought me...
you were supposed to say, I know that.
[ COMPUTERIZED VOICE ] System initialised.
- Destination, please. - Home.
[ COMPUTERIZED VOICE ] There are no new messages.
Television.
Play tape.
It's going to look exactly like this when I'm finished.
See? Very nice.
Victorian Villa Deluxe Birdhouse.
This thing is gonna be bigger than our house by the time I'm done.
- Okay. - Want some help?
[ WALKER ON VIDEO ] Want some help? Yeah, you can buy the birdseed.
Okay.
Divide all these parts into groups to determine their structural function.
- I think I Should... - [ WALKER ] I think I should...
- buy more videotapes. - Buy more videotapes.
Definitely gotta be in the mood to do this.
- You were just a second ago. - [ WALKER ] You were just a second ago.
I think that I should start with something a little easier to put together.
Huh? Honey?
[ WALKER ] Maybe you should lay out all the parts first, then...
- You know. - [ MELISSA ] I think I wanna try from memory.
Just find part A and work from there.
[ MELISSA LAUGHS ]
[ WOMAN ON TV ] The controversy over government-provided campaign funds...
is in the news again today.
The White Supremacist Party has qualified for matching funds...
sparking many groups to petition for the abolition of the matching-funds practise.
Meanwhile, Senator McComb's fading presidential bid received another blow...
when it was denied federal campaign matching funds.
Sources close to the McComb camp indicate the senator is out of money...
and may be forced to withdraw from the race.
Though no official statement has been made...
independent party leaders claim that the denial will bolster their play...
for the upcoming presidential election.
With the polls showing independent candidate Elgin Michaels...
trailing the incumbent by only six points...
[ COMPUTERIZED VOICE ] There are no new messages.
Ah!
[ YELLS ]
[ LAUGHS ]
Who are you?
Who sent you?
[ DEVICE HUMS ]
Fifty thousand volts, mother fucker. Have a nice day.
[ SCREAMING ]
Walker? Walker?
My name's Fielding. I'm with Internal Affairs.
He messed up my apartment. You can kill him.
You've got some more inside.
- [ MAN ] Everybody freeze. - I'm a cop. I'm a cop.
ID, ID. Get in there.
You, he's under arrest. They're all under arrest.
Assault, attempted murder, making a mess.
[ MAN OVER SPEAKERS ] Sector 17, Sector 19, report for duty in five minutes.
If you'd like, I'll have the door removed.
- I had company this morning. - You look like they stayed a while.
- McComb sent them. - Did they say that?
- I said that. What does IA want with me? - Atwood was your partner.
Internal Affairs isn't convinced you can be trusted anymore.
- She's not going to follow me around. - We've got a phase four. You take it.
Send somebody else. I wanna be where McComb is.
A little refresher course in agency etiquette.
I'm the director, I direct.
I authorise the missions. I make the assignments. This one's yours.
God damn it, Max. This agency isn't dead yet.
But if I can't keep you from McComb, it will be.
- Fielding, get in here. - She'll get in my way.
Ask her to stay behind you. She's on the ride. You've got an hour until launch.
- You're not funny. - I'm never funny.
[ PHONE RINGS ]
Yeah?
[ WOMAN ] Disturbance jumped from four to six, sir.
[ MUSIC PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES ]
I catch you fucking this machine again, I'll break your neck.
- Sorry, chief. - Looks like safe sex to me.
- Show me. - Okay. Here we go.
The ripple was steady at four, then spiked past five to six.
On the big board, it looks like it set off Waimea.
Somebody's really doing a number.
We've located the point of origin, and it's right here in Washington.
- Shit. Come on, you're out of here. - Yeah.
- You should have an exhibit. - Oh, really? All my best stuffs at home.
I really could care less whether you like me or not...
but you don't know a thing about me.
[ COMPUTERIZED VOICE ] T minus 3 minutes and counting.
I've been with IA for two years.
I'm field rated in weapons and tactics and speak three languages. Impressed?
- I'm blown away. - I read the Atwood file.
You didn't mention you could read.
He was your friend, and you still asked to go after him.
- He crossed the line. - Or he crossed you.
Launch sequence activated. Authorised personnel only, in the area.
She looks just like the Vollmers.
We are at T-minus-Z minutes and counting.
[ FIELDING ] Why is everyone so nervous?
[ WALKER ] When a launch goes wrong, they're the guys who scrape the wall.
And by the way, you do look like the Vollmer twins.
[ FIELDING ] Who are the Vollmer twins?
Launch personnel only, in the bay.
T minus 1 minute, 30 seconds and counting.
Magnetic field polarity initiation in 10 seconds.
Telemetry check is initiated.
Are we gonna blast to the past? Yee-haw!
Green for launch.
I've ran dozens of simulated launches but I never noticed that wall before.
- Simulated? - Yeah, this is my first real launch.
Great. Don't stick your head out of the window.
- She's a little shaky. - Blood pressure's gonna loosen her teeth.
- Pulse is pushing 140. - If she farts, she'll get ahead of the pod.
Fielding, listen to me. It helps to concentrate on something relaxing during a launch.
What do you think about?
Not swallowing my tongue.
- How's Walker? - Have to shake him to be sure he's awake.
- He's awake. - T minus 30 seconds...
29, 28, 27, 26...
25, 24, 23, 22, 21, 20...
- Have they ever lost a pod during a launch? - Ask the Vollmers.
- I'll do that. Where are they? - See those two red spots?
Twelve, 11, 10...
Oh, God.
Eight, seven, six, five...
four, three, two, one, zero.
[ FIELDING ] Ahhh...
They're away. Is this the hottest thing or what?
God damn, Ricky.
[ FIELDING ] So much for a dry run. We're alive.
- Are we where we're supposed to be? - Give me a date.
Sunday, October 9th, 1994.
Target.
- We're close. - October 9th?
- I'll be 16 tomorrow. - Where?
I was living in Colorado. Oh, man, this is weird.
Oh, yeah? Well, don't get sentimental and try to visit yourself.
I'd kind of like to call myself and tell me not to sleep with Bobby Morgan after my party.
It's really disappointing.
[ FIELDING CHUCKLES ]
A smart woman would call Bobby and give him some advice.
Oh, yeah, right.
[ FIELDING ] How long was Atwood your partner?
[ WALKER ] Three years.
Was it difficult for you to bring him back?
What do you think?
Well, you got a family?
Mine's still in Colorado. You know, my dad, when he started reading about time travel...
he said it was a bigger threat to the world than the nuclear bomb.
He's right.
[ FIELDING ] That's why I joined the agency.
The world should be able to party Saturday night, sleep in on Sunday...
and not worry whether or not the planet's still gonna be here on Monday.
- You sound like a woman I knew. - Someone remarkable, I hope.
Yeah.
Someone you knew, huh? So where is she?
She was killed.
Sorry.
You must have thought about going back and changing that.
We're here.
I thought it was just Parker Data link.
Take the back and wait for my call.
Keep your head down. Tomorrow's your birthday.
[ McCOMB ] I have a problem. [ MAN ] You do?
[ McCOMB ] Yes, I do. Let me tell you what my problem is.
This isn't working for me. I can't keep paying for this.
[ PARKER ] Hey, it doesn't matter to me one way or the other.
[ McCOMB ] Oh, but it should, Jack. It should matter to you.
Because you're taking the god-damn company into bankruptcy.
We have a difference of opinion. The chip is the future of this company.
And since you don't agree, walk away.
This isn't the first time we've had this conversation.
You come up with the money, and I'm out of here.
[ PARKER ] I really can't afford it, and you know it.
But I've found an enterprising banker with faith in the future.
Take it.
You're out. You've got no faith in the company and I've got none in politicians.
If I were you, I wouldn't cash that check.
It's gonna cost you more than you'll ever know.
Hey, Jack, it's been a while.
- What is this? - It's me.
Well, it's him.
No, it's us.
Where did you come from? Are you supposed to be his father?
Do I look that old?
Look, I'm a United States senator. Hurting me is a federal offence.
- I don't know anything about Jack's busi... - Will you stop it? Just stop it, get a grip.
I remember having bigger balls.
I'm gonna have to get this fixed. Wait. Don't touch me.
Same matter can't occupy the same space.
Same matter?
So you got a special NSA briefing coming up. A secret session.
It's not for another week.
Time travel, someone says. Gets a big laugh.
Oh, Christ, you're me.
[ PARKER ] How far back have you come?
Never interrupt me when I'm talking to myself.
- We're gonna take them. - What's the signal?
You were a visionary, Jack.
The computer market was saturated, the software stocks were in the toilet...
and your fucking cold war revolutionises the industry.
I made a mistake. So I came back to tell you I changed my mind.
[ WALKER ] Now.
Freeze.
Agent Walker, do you realise how inappropriate that word is?
- Do I look frozen to you? - You look like shit to me.
Get away from him.
Move.
Drop the guns now.
[ GUNS CLANKING AGAINST FLOOR ]
Under your jacket, there's a track and return module. Throw it to me.
- You gonna leave me back here? - Do it.
Agent Walker, I wanna see how you get from up there to down here...
and keep the gun on us. What are you gonna do? You gonna jump?
That's how the Vollmers would do it.
Move back.
Give me the envelope.
Thank you.
Country's down the drain because of the special interests.
We need someone in the White House so rich he doesn't have to listen to anybody.
- [ FIELDING ] What's that? - The senator was having a fundraiser.
[ McCOMB ] When I'm in office, it's gonna be like the '80s again.
Top 10 percent will get richer, other 90 percent can emigrate to Mexico...
where they can live a better life. So, Agent Walker, you're going or staying?
I think you plan too far ahead.
[ FIELDING ] Obviously, you don't.
[ WALKER ] Anything else you want to tell me about yourself?
Don't tell anyone I killed you. I'm out on bail.
Okay, let's finish up and get out of here.
- He's running for president. I'm voting early. - It's good seeing you again, Jack.
Maybe he'll calm down after the election.
What's the big deal?
Point it, pull the trigger, and boom, somebody dies.

[ YELLING ]
Fucking great. Will you get him? God damn it.
[ GRUNTING ]
Aaron.
Come here.
You own the company, do you understand?
The chip is going to be worth billions, my billions.
Now, read this. Oh-oh, oh.
You just read it and do what it says. Now, you get out of here.
And will you do me a favour? Will you lay off the fucking candy bars?
[ YELLING ]
[ SCREAMING ]
Have a nice day.
- I should have said freeze. - I think he got the idea.
Do me a favour. Don't give up without a fight.
It never crossed my mind.
- I don't want to fight a woman. - Then don't.
I changed my mind.
Tell me he's gonna kill your family.
- Don't you leave me, god-damn it. - Who you talking to?
Stay here, Walker.
In my future, you're dead.

[ WOMAN 1 ] How about up there?
[ MAN 2 ] Let's get a canine unit up here. [ MAN 3 ] How many you got?
[ WOMAN 2 ] I can check it, sir. [ MAN 4 ] No, don't, stop.
[ MAN 5 ] Let's move. [ MAN 6 ] We get two guys up there.
[ MAN 7 ] There's one round back.
[ WALKER ] What the hell's going on here?
[ MATUZAK ] You're lucky you got back. They're getting ready to tear up these tracks.
McComb? [ MATUZAK ] Who else?
He hasn't got the power.
You kidding? He's way ahead in all the polls.
He's probably buying running shoes for his transition team.
Senate Committee caved in. They all wanna be on the good side of the new boss.
[ DOOR BUZZES AND BEEPS ]
What's the matter? It's been headed this way for months.
[ WALKER ] When I left, nothing had happened.
Hey, Walker, when they tear up the launcher you get the pod as a memento.
- [ WALKER ] He's changed the future. - What are you talking about?
[ WALKER ] McComb.
- He's buying the presidency. - So, what's new? It's been done before.
- The guy's a killer. - Doesn't surprise me. He killed my agency.
- And he shot two people. - Who?
Who? A guy named Parker and Fielding.
- Do I know them? - Fielding was with me. You sent her.
I don't like this guy one little bit, but who the hell do you think...
I can sell this story to without a smoking gun and about 50 eyewitnesses?
- How about one? - You don't count.
There's a chance she's still alive.
[ MATUZAK ] Who? Fielding. The cops were there.
I'm gonna be looking for a new government job next week.
And I don't think it'll help if I'm the guy that tried to put our next president in jail.
- You think I'm making this up? - Forget it, you're not going back.
If she's alive, we've got him. You understand that? We've got the guy.
We're shut down. Take a look around, we're history.
Wait, I'm gonna show you something. You come with me.
[ MATUZAK ] Those files are supposed to be sealed. I don't know why I'm doing this.
- You say you were my best friend? - [ WALKER ] For a long time.
- [ MATUZAK ] I liked you? - Oh, yeah.
[ MATUZAK ] What are you looking for?
[ WALKER ] Fielding's friends or family, anyone she would go to in 1994.
- Who was she? - [ WALKER ] Internal Affairs.
But she had a deal with McComb. He's got to go back to be sure she's dead.
Since you say we were friends...
I'm gonna ask you a question I'm sure the prison psychiatrist will ask.
How's our leading presidential candidate making expeditions into the past...
without our equipment, old pal of mine?
The prototype was never dismantled.
Kleindast's.
It's in Calverton, Maryland.
Short drive from Washington.
- We have no authority to get in there. - What about Ricky?
If you were my best friend, you wouldn't do this to me.
[ McCOMB ] I would've had him killed here.
But if he's back, he's already told the story to Matuzak.
God knows who else. They won't know what he's talking about.
But they'll give it a lot of thought if he comes up dead.
Right.
- He's gonna have to be erased. - Erased?
Yeah, have him killed before he joined T.E.C.
That way, nobody in the agency ever talked to him or even knew him.
- Perfect. - No, it's not. It's not perfect.
But it's all we've got.
Don't expect to be my chief of staff if my slamming your face...
into the side of the car is gonna turn you into a snivelling worm.
[ RICKY ] Well, what do you know?
Random intervals, Maryland Utilities show spikes in demand and duration...
that are almost identical to ours.
- Send me back. - [ RICKY ] No, they won't let us do that.
Stay out of it, Ricky.
Would it be too much trouble to call me Richard?
Richard, do I have a best friend around here?
[ RICKY ] It isn't me, maybe Gordon. [ MATUZAK ] Gordon is a putz.
I can tell you who...
my best friend was in school, the Marines, when I was a cop. Gordon doesn't fit.
Since I'd like to see McComb take a fall, you get the benefit of the doubt.
- Whoa, where you going? - We've got to vent the fuel shunts.
Oh, is that right? You'll have to wait while I get authori...
[ DOOR BUZZES ]
[ MATUZAK ] Was I your only friend?
- A launch is not a one-man operation. - Yeah, I know.
If I'm off on velocity or trajectory, you're gonna be an omelet.
- You trying to scare me? - Yeah.
Just hit the right year.
I'll see you.
You know, I have had your wife's goulash a hundred times. Always too much salt.
Here goes the pension.

Gotcha.

Happy birthday.
Thanks. Get me anything?
- Tell me what you want. - I wanna go home.
I already know who's gonna win the next 10 World Series.
- No problem. - Why did you come back?
I need you to testify against McComb.
That would be my pleasure.
- It could be dangerous. - I know that.
It's not that simple. McComb has made some changes.
You were never in the T.E.C. Matuzak never heard of you.
No, that can't be.
- I had training for six years. I have friends. - I've got to move fast.
If I can find you, so can he.
- What can I do? - I need proof that you existed here.
In case I don't make the trip, huh?
They just took some blood.
It would be in the lab.
- I'll be right back. - Hey.
I really screwed up.
Yes, you did.
I wanna make things right.
You may find you can make things right for yourself.
I'll be right back.

[ MAN ] Stop him.
Pictures bring back your memories.
- This is for what you're going to do. - Hey, wha...?
What the...?
- Melissa, don't turn around. - Why? What's wrong?
It's okay.
- Listen, listen. - Who are you?
It's me. Look, it's Max.
Max? Max, what happened?
I can't tell you right now. We have to go, trust me.
Trust me.
Come on.
Let's go.
Here. Here.
Stop. Please, just tell me what happened to you.
Just try to believe me.
I love you. Trust me.
You're not Max.
It's me. Ten years from now, it's me.
That's not possible.
Remember, Matuzak, the new job, time travel.
Time travel?
If one day I need a birdhouse built, I know who to talk to.
- Oh, my God. - It's me. It's Max.
- I can't believe this. - Try.
What am I like 10 years from now?
Just like now.
Perfect.
You time travelled and... What? Why?
Let me show you.
Today you have something very special to tell him.
- How do you know that? - I've just told you.
What are you here to prevent?
Changes in the past.
- Why? What's gonna happen? - Later.
Stay and meet with him. Don't tell him anything, please.
[ CLOCKS CHIMING ]
There's never enough time.
Never enough for what?
To satisfy a woman.
Well, then you never wanna miss an opportunity.
- Are you busy? - I'm meeting my husband.
Senator McComb, sir.
That message came from the senate operator, sir.
- It's 3:30, sir. You have a 4:00 with... - Clear my schedule. All of it.
Yes, sir.
Kelly, have you ever been inside the president's limo?
No, sir.
You keep in touch. I'll send you a photograph of it.
I have something I wanna tell you.
[ PHONE RINGING ]
- Oh, shit. - Don't answer it.
I have to.
- You did not tell him? - He didn't give me a chance.
[ WALKER ] You should have tried.
- Are we still together in 1O years? - Yes, we're together.
Do you have a picture?
No, nothing recent.
- Am I dead? - No, you're not dead.
- What about tomorrow? - Everything is going to be fine, okay?
Why can't we just get out of here?
Why can't we just run away from whatever it is?
It would come back as many times as it takes.
It has to end tonight.
Hurry, keep him upstairs. Whatever you do, keep him upstairs.
Just do what I say. Please, go.
Max, I don't want you to go.
I'll be back soon.
L... I'm pregnant.
Great.
[ MELISSA ] I love you.
- Surprise. - Who the fuck are you?
Friend of the family.
Don't go down.
[ WALKER ] Upstairs.
[ COLE ] How did you miss him?
[ SHOTGUN ] He knew it was coming. It was a T.E.C. cop.
Son of a bitch doesn't know how to die.
[ COLE ] He'll learn tonight. You don't kill him, you don't go back.
Upstairs.

Oh, my God, Max, look out.

Max!

[ MELISSA SOBBING ]
You have nothing soft to land on, do you?
[ WALKER ] Go, go.
- [ MELISSA ] I'll get help. - Go.
Say, ah.
Oh, shit.
Ooh. That's gotta hurt.
- Lousy night to be out. - Don't hurt her.
[ McCOMB ] You were at a disadvantage from the beginning.
You see, I'm an ambitious, Harvard-educated visionary who deserves...
to be the most powerful man in the world.
And you, you're a fucking idiot who never figured out that the only way...
to make anything of himself with that fancy kicking, is on Broadway.
Thanks for clearing that up.
[ McCOMB ] The polls have me winning by 28 points.
That's the biggest landslide since Nixon back in '72.
I find it reassuring to know what the future holds, don't you?
[ DEVICE CLICKS ]
[ BEEPING ]
That's C-4. Not only will it turn this house into dust...
but it will also separate every part of you from every other part of you.
Let her go. You've got me.
I don't want you. You see, Agent Walker is too visible.
But Officer Walker, dead, is just another D.C. statistic.
When he is gone, you're gone.
- Get the younger one. I want him to see. - He's dead.
No, he's not, you moron. If he were dead, he would not be here. Get him.
Let her go.
What do you want?
You're a bright boy. Why don't you sleep on it?
I did that.
It's different than before, isn't it? It's what happens when you change time.
Lines of confluence, probability scales, all that shit.
Put your gun on the floor.
What were you gonna do? Shoot me?
There's a bomb that's gonna go off any second.
You know what happens then? We're all gonna be dead.
And I'm gonna win by default.
My young self is still gonna be president and you can't save your wife.
Just like you couldn't save her once before.
She died because you came back and made some changes.
So now you're gonna fuck with time.
- You're as bad as me. - Wrong. I'm setting it right.
Usually, I hate doing things more than once.
But in this case, I don't see any other option.
I do.
What are you doing here?
What do you mean? You called. You left a message with the senate operator.
I didn't leave any message, you idiot.
Don't argue among yourself. I left it.
Now nobody's got a future.
Okay, this is a real mess now. I hope you're happy. This is a real mess.
You turned what was gonna be a simple ordinary murder into a bloodbath.
You get out of here. Get out of here. Go, now, go.
- You two should be closer. - Keep him away.
Same matter can't occupy same space. I'm still kicking. I must be on Broadway.
No!

Hey, what's going on with Senator McComb?
Senator McComb?
- Yeah. - If you want time off, ask for it.
- Don't act like you're out of your head. - Got a blank spot.
A blank spot? You've got a hole in your head.
Ten years ago, McComb left his office, cancelled all his appointments, disappeared.
