- [Deep Voice] Hello, Dr. Muller.
- What is this? What's going on?
- [Deep Voice] You've been injected with a microchip,
a consciousness communications device we've been developing
here at the organization.
What do you know about Project Z Plus?
- Almost nothing. - It's funny.
It's been said that humans are the only species
with a true understanding of the concept of time,
but, as it turns out, time is actually rather malleable.
What is time in reality other
than a concept of our own interpretation?
This pill allows us to interpret that sense
of time differently.
An hour here for an hour there.
Today, tomorrow forwards, backwards,
consciousness, time travel. - I don't have any.
- [laughs] No. If you had, you'd have known we were coming.
Tell me, do you know the whereabouts of this man?
- That man? He's dead?
[thunder booms]
- Sure.
My information tells me he was rather generous
in sharing his information with you.
- He was a colleague in the science community.
That is all. I am sorry.
- Sir, we found something. Uploading now.
[electronic beeps trill]
- Thank you, Dr. Muller.
This will be quite useful.

[window slides]
- Welcome to tomorrow.
[contemplative music] [tires crunch]
There's little to no security,
so this should be relatively simple.
These should get you to the elevator
and up to the 13th floor.
They hire an external vendor for the afternoon cleanup.
- And the target is? - White boarding room, 1334.
- I can never see shit in these contacts.
- You and me keep going in with purple eyes, so.
Will you be able to see the target?
- Maybe. It won't be perfect. - Well, we need perfect.
Keep 'em in until the target's in view.
- Okay. Everything will just be blurry until then.
- Good. Remember, no details.
We don't want to know what this company does,
who works there, nothing.
[doors open]
[cart rattles]
- Lee, Martin, can you hear me?
- Loud and clear
[doors thud]
- [Martin] Fucking contacts.
[elevator chimes]
- Hold it, hold it, hold, hold! Phew.
[doors slide shut] [Muzak plays overhead]
Didn't you guys switch to mornings?
I could've swore I got that memo last week.
- Shit, the cleaning schedule's from last month.
- Oh, oh.
- That's for daylight savings, sir.
We don't switch over till next week.
- Oh, okay. Well, good for you.
[elevator chimes]
I hate those dark mornings. Take care.
[footsteps shuffle]
- Thanks Martin. - Oh, anytime, Finn.

- [Voice Over Speaker] May I have your attention please?
This is not a drill.
At the building, do not use the elevators.
After you leave the building, please wait.

- Can't see shit.

- How are we on time? - 10 Minutes.
We should be fine.

- [Guy With Green Visor] I'll go inside.
You get the look at the girl.
- Oh, no.
- [Martin] Not sure you needed me for this one.
[footsteps shuffle] [gun cocks]
- Finn. Where are you? Finn, hello?
- We're getting ambushed.
Just get out and meet me at the loading dock.
I ditched the van for now. We'll get it later.
[footsteps shuffle]
- We work for- - Quiet.
[tense music]
I found 'em. - Copy.
Come on, let's go.
[feet stumble]
- Lee, Martin, where are you guys?
- Can you tell us who you are or where we're going?

- Finn, you have the car jacker.
- Yeah. I have it. It's not ready, but I have it.
50-50 shot it'll work. - 50-50?
- Maybe 60-40. - Do it.
Pick us up in the back. - Motherfucker.

- Well, that was a shit show.
- We'll talk about it when we get back.
[door rattles open]
[slow tense music]
[door slides shut]
- We have to do something.
Look, what if we just,
we change the dates. - Stop. You know the rules.
We don't do anything that will affect tomorrow
between 2:05 and 3:05 PM.
- Martin.
- Your rules are going to get us killed.
- They're the only things that are keeping our feet
on the ground.
Do you have the target? - Yeah.
Again, don't think you needed me for that.
- Maybe, maybe not, but I don't have photographic memory.
It needs to be verbatim. - I'm worried about this.
- [Lee] Come on, Finn. The car jacker worked, right?
- Whoa, whoa, wait. What happens when it does it work, Finn?
- All the electronics in the car seize up
for 30 seconds and we get locked inside.
- Oh. - But it did work.
- Oh. - And that means that it
is your job to make sure that it still works tomorrow,
and then when we get out of the city safely,
we'll figure out the rest. - Where are you going?
- I gotta get up early tomorrow,
see the representative, get our money.
See you two tomorrow at the spot.
Hey.

- Oh, fuck.

Go! Goddammit, Finn!

I'm at tomorrow and I spend an hour there,

- Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
What you're talking about is, what,
some kind of time machine?
- Kind of, but it's just for your mind.
It's not for your body. I'm not explaining this well.
Okay, so- - Are you sure they
weren't just giving you some psychedelics?
- [laughs] No, man.
[upbeat music]
- Okay, shit. Okay.
Well, thank you.
Are you sure you have the money?
- Yeah, man.
- All right, then I owe you.
- No, and there's more.
So before I have left, they gave me a job.
It's a really good job.
It pays really well, and Matty,
we're finally gonna get you the treatment that you need.
- I am getting the treatment I need.
- Fuck that, the treatment that you deserve.
You and me were gonna beat this thing together.
- You're not lying?
- No. I really believe that.

- All we're asking for is a little more transparency.
You have to understand. We don't know your name.
We can't see your face.
We've discussed it and believe you should consult the board
for any future trades of this size.
- [Deep Voice] Is that right?
- You seem a bit unpredictable.
- Unpredictable, really. That's cute.
Tell me, how much money has your firm cleared
in the past six months thanks to the organization?
- Look, we're not questioning your value to the company.
- There is nothing unpredictable about what I do.
- Markets change.
You keep trading like this and you'll eventually lose.
The world is unpredictable. People are unpredictable.
- On the contrary, people are the product,
and they're a product that should be controlled.
Stick with me and reap the benefits,
or else we can part ways right here right now.
- No, no, that won't be necessary. Carry on.
[tense music] [electronic beeps trill]
- You requested to speak with me.
- Yes. I have a job for our little friend.
- I thought he was clear he no longer wished to cooperate.
- Yes, well, you and I both know what happens to people
who don't cooperate with the organization.
Let's make sure he gets that message.
- [laughs] I'll do my best, but to be honest,
the man is a bit of an idiot.
- That man is key to everything.

- Yeah. I mean, could just ignore 'em, call their bluff.
- Did you already forget what happened?
Wait, when you came to meet with this shit,
you told me that these jobs
were gonna be low risk, high reward.
I think about it every day.
- You think that I don't feel the same way as you?
- No, you don't 'cause it wasn't your fault.
- It never should've come to that.
We weren't prepared for an ambush, and that's on me.
Regardless, I trusted you then, and I still trust you now.
I mean, you trust me don't you?
- Honestly, no, I don't.
- Well, I guess that's why we never worked out.
- [laughs] Worked out? What?
- New Hampshire, baby, two years ago.
- That was a long time ago.
Did you actually get rid of it like we talked about?
- Yeah. What's with the new decals on the van?
- Starting my own security company.
- Yeah, that sounds fun. - Yeah, it's not.
[Finn sighs]
Why aren't we already dead?

[electronic beeps trill]
And you wonder why I don't trust you.
- Fine, but I'm not using.
- [scoffs] Lee, we talked about this.
After what happened to Martin,
we both agreed that this had to end.
- Yes, but we also both agreed the less you know,
the better.
The rules- - Oh my God!
I know, the rules. Just save it.
- Okay, but in my defense,
the organization is gonna kill us if we don't do this job,
so you're welcome.
- 14 account numbers? It's a lot.
- It's also a big price tag.
Look, one last job and we're done.
- Gonna need a new photog. - I'll handle it.
- You can barely handle yourself. What's your plan?
- I'm gonna go see Danny.
- Okay. Whatever.
If we're gonna do this, I need to start planning now,

what the fuck you're doing in here, man.
- I'm just coming by to say hi.
- Your ass better not be here making no bets.
- I wouldn't dream of it.
- Damn right you wouldn't dream of it.
You still owe me, motherfucker.
- That is exactly what I'm going here.
Paying you back, baby.

- I guess it's a start, huh?
- [laughs] How you been?
- I'm fussing. I bought a boat last summer, huh?
- [Lee] Yeah?
- Thought I might like fishing. Turns out I don't.
Know anybody looking to buy? - Sorry.
- Ah, it's all right.
- I need a favor. - Of course you do.
- Can you stop being such a sourpuss?
- Sourpuss? Let me explain something to you.
You spent four years coming in here making bets,
taking my fucking money,
only for me to find out you've been using that Z bullshit.
- Danny, that was the old me.
- Those days is gone. You know what I mean?
It's all over. It's a brand new Lee, right?
You still live in that RV that you won off Simpson?
- [laughs] Yeah.
- How about that Mercedes that you won off Tanner?
You still rolling around in that?
Okay, yeah. Not a fucking thing changed.
You're a son of a bitch, you know that?
And this money, where's this coming from, huh?
Oh, you spend your days working
as a substitute teacher making it the honest way?
No, I ain't think so.
Your ass is still using, Lee,
which is why I can trust you about
as far as I can toss you.
What do you want, man? - I need a photog.
- Okay. What the fuck happened to Martin?
- He retired.
- I'm sorry to hear that. Okay?
But that right there, that's the bullshit. Okay?
That's why you need to stop. All right?
That's what happens when you start fucking with time!
As long as you got these pills,
you'll never be able to walk away.
Once an addict, always an addict.
Ain't they right, what they say?
- You two are bookies. You make your living off of addicts.
- That's fair enough. - I got a job. It's a big one.
You two help me out,
I'll pay you back double what I owe you.
- You're lucky somebody loves you. Tell you what.
Yeah, I do know someone.

- What's up, everyone. Welcome back to the channel.
First things first,
I wanna remind you to like, comment, and subscribe.
If you haven't already,
make sure you hit that little notification bell
at the bottom so you never miss another video.
Let's just dive right in.
A question popped into my feed today
about a Reddit post detailing a so-called time travel pill.
I took a look and, of course, met it with heavy skepticism.
But after a little bit of research, I'm not so sure.
To really understand where all this comes from,
we're gonna have to go back a couple of years
and talk about a man named Dr. Jay Tupple.
He was a neurophysicist who died in 2018,
or so they say, but more on that later.
His studies on the concept of consciousness time trading
were considered controversial due
to his use of human test subjects.
Now the serum, which was called Z,
reportedly made the subjects crazy.
Later, it was advanced into its current pill form
called Z Plus.
Now that was before his disappearance in 2019
after the Russian mob reportedly raided his laboratory.
The police never found his body,
and they've since declared him dead.
But this wouldn't be the first time Dr. Tupple
brought on this type of controversy.
See, two years earlier,
he was declared dead after being involved
in the rescue of a missing child,
only to turn up six months later unharmed.
See, this has led several people to theorize
that Dr. Tupple is in fact alive and is on the run
and is using the Z Plus to stay ahead
of those that are looking for him.
The pill is rumored to be able to change the order
in which our minds perceive time and events.
But this is where the facts get a little bit less certain.
[birds caw] [tense music]
- Yeah, I know.
[tires crunch]
We'll get him, don't worry.
[door opens]
[door slams] [door opens]
[footsteps shuffle]
What do we have here?
- [Henchman] I think this one's over the edge, boss.
- Stop! How many times do I have to tell you?
I don't wanna see their faces.
- [Henchman] You want me to put it back on?
- No, cut him loose. Wait in the car.
[knife slices]
[slow dramatic music]
Tell me, what seems to be the matter?
- Nothing, nothing, nothing at all.
I made a stupid joke, and George took me too seriously.
Everything's good. - Sorry to hear that.
If there is something wrong, you could tell me.
- I'm trying to remember
what happened even fucking two minutes ago, and I can't.
It's like two sides, two competing memories.
- [Derrick] I'm so sorry.
[atmosphere undulates and rumbles]
[grunts]
- Look, man, I can't take it anymore.
Like cars crashing together in my brain.
I don't know what's real anymore.
- I see. I have to ask you.
Did you or did you not do what I asked of you?
- [grunts] I did, I did.
- Put the sack back on your head, please.
[gunshot blasts] [body thuds]
[gunshots blast]
[slow dramatic music] [footsteps shuffle]
[door opens]
[door slams]
I need them to keep things straight.
Get some more Z serum from one of the new guys.
[engine starts]
[engine revs] [mid-tempo jazzy music]
[heels clack]
- All right, what is this really? Time travel pills?
I mean, what are you trying to sell me magic beans?
You trying to get me to pass 'em off to others?
- I'm trying to offer you a job.
- No, thank you.
- I did a little research on you.
You're in debt and with the wrong people.
I've been there before. It sucks.
I'm guessing now you're looking for a way to start over.
- Okay, I'm gonna humor you for a second
and believe that this is real.
Explain.
- On the paper's what I'm offering for the job.
Let's get coffee. [grunts]
[footsteps shuffle]
- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I mean, there are many ways to get exposure.
Well, that's what everyone gets wrong, right?
I mean, if everyone was getting right,
they we'd know about it, right?
[laughs] Okay. [laughs] Right, yeah.
Okay. Well, you know, yeah, I'm just leaving right now.
Okay. I gotta go.
[upbeat funky music]
[shutter clicks]
[door opens]
- Okay, consciousness time trading. Just walk me through it.
- Okay.
[muffled chatter]
Hey, miss. How you doing?
You got a pen on you?
[pen thuds]
Thanks.
Okay, so we think of time in a straight line,
one road leading from A to B, right?
Let's start to think of it as a map.
The locations stay the same, but the order and the route
in which you hit them can change.
[electronic beeps trill]
- That's a pretty high-tech case.
- Yeah. These pills are no joke.
The wrong person tries to open up this case,
and it will burn their eye out.
- Jesus. And you just gave me one in a bar?
- Relax. This is a fake.
So do you have plans tomorrow morning?
- Oh, yeah. I have a gig.
I'm taking a midterm for a trust fund baby.
[contemplative music]
- It's 9:00 AM, give or take.
Let's say hypothetically that you take the pill,
the Z Plus, right now.
When you take the pill, you're gonna close your eyes.
When you open them, they're gonna be purple.
That means you're jumping forward.
You should be right on campus,
getting ready to take that test.
- Then they'll definitely know something's up,
but if I don't do well, I'm gonna fucking fail,
and my parents are gonna fucking kill me.
- Wait, what happens to tomorrow me when I'm in their body?
- Here's where it gets a little more complicated.
Let's go back to just before your eyes went purple
on campus.
- I really have to do well on this
because my parents are paying full tuition, as you know.
- While you're jumping forward from the day before,
your tomorrow self is gonna wake up in your body right now.
Your eyes are gonna be green.
That means you're jumping backward.
For the next hour, tomorrow Sophia's gonna get
to hang out here with me at the coffee shop
while today Sophia- - Will be in my body tomorrow.
- When the time runs out, you'll switch back.
That's how it works, basically.
- Basically. - Basically. [laughs]
The stuff was originally concocted as a serum, Z,
much more unpredictable, much more dangerous.
Eventually, it was refined into the pill form,
Z Plus, with a bit more control.
- But can't any little thing change everything though,
like the butterfly effect?
- Yeah. That's why we limit the amount of variables.
The less we know, the better.
We don't know what we're trying to steal,
it makes it harder for us to screw it all up.
The team is made up of three components,
the sitter, the tech, and the photog.
The sitter, me, is in charge of making sure
that we don't lose our minds by limiting the amount
of variable, such as the moving truck,
making sure that we have limited knowledge
and administering the Z.
The tech's job is to plan the actual steal
and manage the logistics.
Lucky for us, we try to steal information
that has no significant value on the day of
but means a whole hell of a lot if obtained the day before.
Low risk, low security, high reward.
I see took the decals off the van.
- How's it going? You must be Sophia.
[clears throat] I'm Finn.
- And I'm the new photog, I'm assuming.
- Yep.
We get you in. You remember it when you come back.
- Do I wanna know what happened to the other one?
- [sighs] Before you agree to anything,
you should be aware that there are certain dangers involved
in what we do.
When you steal from people, sometimes they fight back,
but above all else, we follow my rules.
We get in, we get out, and we get paid,
and then we're all on our own.
What do you think?
- So what are we stealing?
- Finn.
- I have bad news and I have good news.
Our target is 14 account numbers, 10 digits each,
to be published and stored in their records Thursday.
I've omitted the name of the company for obvious reasons.
- 14 account numbers? - It's a lot. You okay?
- Yeah.
- So the location is a nightmare for us.
Cameras everywhere at all times,
security at every entrance.
It's a non-starter and with such a short runway
for planning, even more of a zero-chance operation.
- You said there was good news.
- Simon Willoughby.
Technically, on their staff he's a programmer,
but in reality, he's a go between for any large
and less than ethical deals for the company.
Basically, he's the fall guy.
- No, no, no, no. I don't need to know any of that, no.
Just send me over the details. I'll take care of it.
- What's good for us is that he works
from his fancy upstate chalet this time of year.
- Yeah, So I'm heading north of the week.
Yeah, yeah, you gotta come check this place out
and then we'll hang out in the jacuzz.
It'll be a great time. Yeah, no, no, I'm good.
Okay, yep. I'll give you a quick call later.
Bye bye.
- Place is nice, but it's less than secure.
Does seem, though, as of late,
he's been going through some stuff.
[engine revs]
- [Woman On Tape] It's easy to believe
that just because you're not currently
where you want to be spiritually and physically,
you mustn't ever forget that tomorrow is a new day,
a day to be a new you.
Repeat after me. I am good enough.
- I am good enough.
- I am worth it. - I am worth it.
- I have value. - I have value.
- [Woman On Recording] I am a good person.
- I am a good person.
- [Voice On Phone] New call from Todd Hamilton.
- Hey you! What can I do for ya?
- I'll have the numbers on his computer Thursday morning.
That gives us a very small window of time to obtain them
and get them to the organization before our deadline.
Any questions?
[funky contemplative music]
[car hums]
[doors slide open]
[dial clicks]
[button beeps] [tires crunch]
- Okay. So you know the plan.
Unless shit hits the fan,
we should wake up at location B,
at which we'll infiltrate through the pipeline
to the main property.
Then-
- Then it's a matter of Simon chasing the delivery.
The mail usually comes around 9:30 or 10.
- Then we get in, we get the target off the computer,
and we get out undetected, copy?
- Copy.
Word of advice, Sophia.
The first time can feel a little jolting. Don't fight it.
[scene whooshes and booms]
[Sophia gasps]
How'd it go?
[laughs] You get used to it.
Quarter mile into those woods is the drainage pipe.
That'll take you to Simon's backyard.
You good?
- [scoffs] I'm good.
See you soon.
[upbeat funky music]
[door opens]
[door slams]
- All right, Lee, give me an update.
- We're good. We're almost at the spot.
[tires crunch]
That's a go, Finn.
[door opens and slams]
[doorbell rings]
- Hello?
Hi.
Hello!
You're up, you two.
- Where are you going?
[door creaks open]
- Finn, it's locked. - Can you pick it?
- Yeah, sure. Stand back.
[foot thuds] [Lee groans]
- [Finn] I said pick it, not kick it, Lee.
[contemplative music] [lock clicks]
- Well, how'd you learn to do that?
- Don't wanna know.
- Come on, come on.
- The fuck. Right here!
- The email's not here.
- Finn, the email's not there. - Should've been there at 10.
- Well, it's not.
- [Finn] Well, if it's not there, it's coming soon.
- Well, we don't really have that kind of time, Finn.
- Wait, it just came in. - Let's go.
- Well, give me a couple seconds.
- All right, time's up. Let's go.
[tires crunch]
- Okay, got it.
- Lee, we got company. - Who?
[dramatic music]
Yeah, yeah, right here. Bring it back, yeah.
Drive away and then come back.
Right, bring it right fucking here.
[door opens and slams] [Simon grunts]
Shit!
[footsteps shuffle]
What do we do? - Go, minimal impact.
[Simon whimpers]
- Get off of me. Get the fuck off of me!
Whatever it is, it's another deal. I can get you details.
- We're going.
- Hi.
I don't know who you are,
but I can fix whatever the fuck it is.
- Sh, I know. Are you alone?
- This is my place. I'm alone.
I'm always fucking alone. Okay?
[pants] [tense brooding music]
- Kill him. - Please, please don't!
I can get you whatever you want.
I can do whatever you want.
I know some very, very powerful, very rich people.
I can make whatever it is that you want to have happen.
I'm just trying to actually be a little bit better
of a person.
I'm just not quite there yet. I can't die right now. Okay?
Please.
[bullet hits] [man grunts]
[body thuds] [tense dramatic music]
[bullets hit] [men grunt]
See. I knew you weren't alone.
[footsteps shuffle]
- Go with her.
Who are you, you son of a bitch?
[tense music]
[footsteps shuffle]
[punch lands] [Derrick grunts]
Who are you?
- [laughs] Hi, Lee.
- Answer!
[water splashes]
Answer!
[water splashes] [Derrick grunts]
[punch lands] [Lee groans]
[footsteps shuffle]
[engine rumbles]
- Hey.
[door slides open and shut]
- What happened to minimal impact, Lee?
- What the fuck is going on?
- [Finn] Lee, where are you? Lee, answer me.
[Lee grunts] [dramatic music]
- Fucker.
I'm here. I'm here.
Find a safe spot off the road.
Drive some. I'll meet you there.
- I think we're being followed.
- You think? - No shit!
- No, different follower. - You know what?
You can just pull over right here and I'll get out.
Thank you so much for saving me. I really do appreciate it.
- Lee, were those the same guys that killed Martin?
- I don't know! - Who's Martin?
[tires crunch]
[door opens and slams]
- Get out. - What do you mean get out?
- Get out!
- 15 seconds. - We'll be back tomorrow.
- Tomorrow? - 11 Seconds.
- What? - Seven seconds.
- Until what? - Ready?
[device beeps]
[scene whooshes] [Sophia gasps]
[birds chirp]
- Where are we?
- Why are we at your place, Lee?
- I don't know. - Why aren't we in the truck?
- Because we clearly left the truck
after we jumped backwards.
- Fuck! The Z's gone. - What do you mean?
- I mean it's gone, everything.
[contemplative music]
- Okay. Let's recap.
We were in the truck and took a Z.
Our tomorrow selves occupied our bodies for the next hour.
During that hour, they somehow got us to your trailer,
and the Z was stolen.
- Maybe the driver brought us here
and forced you to hand over the Z.
- It wasn't the driver.
- We were being followed since the beginning.
- Yeah, no shit. - No, there was another car.
It looked like your car.
Is someone gonna explain how we got out of a moving truck?
- Yeah. How did we get out of the truck, Lee?
Jesus Christ. I knew it.
There's an eye scanner in the truck, isn't there?
- But the truck is moving?
- You have all these rules that everyone has
to follow except for you.
- It's for emergencies.
Listen, we could've just decided to come back here,
hide Z from whoever it is before they got to it.
- Okay. Where would you hide it?
- I don't know. It could be anywhere.
- Like here?
- Stop. - What?
- Don't look. - Why?
- If you look and it's not there,
then we can't come back tomorrow and hide it.
- Schrodinger's cat. - Whose cat?
- Schrodinger's cat.
It's an idea about paradoxes and realities.
Say you have a box with a cat in it
and you don't know if it's alive or dead.
Before you look inside the box,
it's actually both alive and dead.
Either reality could be true.
Once you look inside the box, though,
we're committed to that version.
So the Z is both behind the panel and not behind the panel?
- [Lee And Finn] Mm-hmm.
- Okay, so what do we do? - We stick to the plan.
Tomorrow, we drive to Simon's cabin, park the car.
We jump backwards into the truck, we come here,
we hide the Z behind the panel, wake up in the woods,
deal with Simon, and then we are having beers by dinner.
- And what about the job? - And your car?
- I'll figure it out. Do you have the numbers?
- Yeah.
- Finn, may I please have the keys to the van?
[keys jingle] [footsteps shuffle]
- Better get us paid.
- It is gonna be fine.
[door opens and shuts]
Fuck! - It's gonna be fine.
[soft tense music] [birds caw]
[footsteps shuffle]
- I'm sorry.
The liquid sample you provided to us is just very unstable.
We're getting closer, but it's not ready yet.
Do you understand what this is, Dr. Muller?
- This is spatial temporal neuroscience,
and it's extremely complicated.
- Wrong. This is a race, a race for the future.
Do you understand? - I do.
- Keep working.
[dramatic music]
[upbeat music] [muffled chatter]
- Is Danny here?
- He's out there trying to find somebody
to buy that stupid boat.
Everything okay?
- Our brains have already established a timeline
in which we wake up at my place.
So if we wake up anywhere else,
our brains aren't gonna know which timeline
is the right one.
- I still don't understand the blindfolds.
- It can be very tempting to want
to try and change your past, even only for a day.
If we don't know where we are when we go back,
it makes it a lot tougher to change things
than lose total grip on our reality.
- [scoffs] This shit's complicated.
- Now you're telling me.
- So be honest.
When you get to the truck,
do you, Lee Warner, really not know where you are?
You still in love with Finn?
[Lee laughs]
How's she doing? - She's good.
- I gotta finish closing. You good to go home?
- Yeah, I got Finn's van. - What happened to your car?
- Honestly, I don't know. [laughs]
- Well, good luck tomorrow or today or I don't fucking know.
[soft ethereal music]
[footsteps shuffle]
[knock taps]
- Hello, anybody?
[knock taps]
- Hi there. - Whoa, shit. [laughs]
You scared me.
- Sorry.
Would you like to join me for another drink?
- I think the bar's closing.
[footsteps shuffle]
- Maybe we can go somewhere else,
somewhere more private perhaps.
- Yeah, maybe.
- I see pain in your eyes, Lee.
[door slams open] [Lee pants]
- I've had my eye on you. - Okay! [laughs]
- I have a secret. Can I share it?
- Look, this is really great,
but I think that you think that I'm somebody else.
- Don't fight it, Lee.
[device booms] [Lee grunts]
- [Lee] Fuck was that?
- Don't fight it, Lee.
[Lee grunts and pants]
[electronic beeps trill]
[air undulates] [Lee groans]
[electronic beeps trill]
- [Deep Voice] It's a pleasure to finally talk
to you, Mr. Warner.
- What is this? What is going on?
- You've been injected
with the consciousness communications device.
I just spoke with my representative,
and I would love to discuss how you
and I can improve our working relationship.
- How about a fucking phone call, man?
- Lee, I took the privilege of looking at your profile here.
Arrested seven times.
Robbery, fraud. I mean, the list goes on and on.
I'm also reading here that you've got one
of your team members killed.
Such a pity, but nevertheless, you carry on.
You seem quite strong willed.
I'm also strong willed. - Where's our money?
- Lee, the organization needs your help, and quite frankly,
we had the organization do not like to get our hands dirty.
And it would be such a terrible shame
if something were to happen to one of your people,
again, that is.
[soft tense jazzy music]
Look, Lee, let's not have another death due
to your pride, shall we?
If you reconsider the offer of helping us,
you can find another microchip in your left jacket pocket.
You know what to do.
[air whooshes]
[electronic beeps trill]
[Lee groans]
[water runs] [Lee pants]
[engine rumbles] [contemplative music]
- Once we're back in the truck,
we'll have one hour to get out,
take the van to my place, and hide the Z.
- [Sophia] What happens if we don't?
- Nothing good. - Lee, again,
remind me how this is supposed to get us paid.
- Five seconds.
- I have a contingency plan. - Of course you do.
- See you in the truck.
[truck rumbles and rattles]
- Lee?
[engine rumbles]
[tense music] [electronic beeps trill]
Lee, the truck is moving.
Guessing you don't have one for us?
- Not gonna be needing one. Stand back.
[door rattles open]
- Now what are you gonna do? - Improvise.
[dramatic music]
- Lee, what the fuck?

We need to hide the Z and leave everything else exactly
how we found it. - Hey guys,
we need to hide the Z and leave everything else exactly
how we found it.
- Got it.
Wait. This was open yesterday. - Because we opened it.
- Oh no, no. Remember, leave it off.
That's how we found it when we woke up here yesterday.
- Right, the fucking cabinet.
- Positions.
[door opens]
How we doing for time? - Five minutes.
- And we were in these spots, right?
- Yeah. I think I was over here.
- Something's not right.
- We're ahead of schedule? - I hope so.
[birds chirp] [dog barks in distance]
[tires crunch]
[dramatic suspenseful music]
Shit! Everybody inside!
[tires crunch]
[door shuts]
- I know you're in there. Come out.
You have something that I want.
I was thinking perhaps we can make a trade.
I have something that you may want.
[footsteps shuffle]
You have 10 seconds!
[soft dramatic music]
10, nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four, tres, dos!
- I'm here!
- There he is.
[footsteps shuffle] [slow dramatic music]
- Who are you?
- Those eyes. See, we're not so different, Lee.
I was just a few years too early.
- [Man] What's your experience right now?
- [Derrick] Think about what that first batch
of serum was like, your own memories becoming lies.
It's hard to describe.
You become powerless.
- You see, your mind is. - Small.
[laughs]
It's pretty quite fascinating, isn't it?
An entire galaxy of moments living inside our minds.
With that being said, I prefer to live in the here and now.
Whenever you wake up tomorrow,
your friend here can either be dead or alive,
but you probably already know what happens.
As we both know, we can always change things, right?
- Now go. - I'll see you soon, Lee.
[footsteps shuffle]
[doors slam] [car departs]
[footsteps shuffle]
[soft dramatic music]
- Thank you. - Mm-hmm.
I'm- - Sorry, Finn. Time?
[footsteps shuffle]
- 30 seconds.
- I know the way this is gonna sound,
but I need you to go. - What?
- We're about to wake up here.
If he's here when we do, we're gonna lose total grip.
I need you to go right now.
- Okay, what the fuck? - Sophia!
- 15 seconds. - Take it and go. Okay?
You're welcome to follow us,
but don't let us know you're there.
I'll see you at this time tomorrow.
- Five seconds. - Positions.
[watch beeps] [jazzy music]
[engine starts]
- Three, two, one.
[air undulates] [birds chirp]
- So I'm gonna ask again. What the fuck is going on, huh?
[door opens] [engine rumbles]
[door slams]
[soft music] [door slams]
- I am so sorry.
- Okay. All right.
[footsteps shuffle]
Who's this? - I'm Sophia.
- Nice to meet ya. - It's nice to meet you, too.
[leaves rustle]
[jazzy contemplative music]
- His name is Derrick Volkov.
He's a Russian mobster was, for some reason,
hired to obtain the full supply of Z Plus.
He's hired mercenaries to take the Z
and jump so he doesn't have to.
- I'm confused. We saw you die.
- Not quite. I didn't make it out the first time,
I was told.
[gunshot blasts] [Finn screams]
They kept me just barely alive long enough
for them to undo it.
[frequency whines] [gunshot blasts]
[tense brooding music]
They can fuck with events on his behalf
without him having to know their identities.
Then when they start to go crazy,
lose their grip on reality, they're disposed of.
- Do you know who hired him? - I don't.
- I do. Derrick Volkov is a client of mine.
I've never met him until today.
- Go on.
- Untie me and tell me what's going on,
and then yeah, maybe I will go on.
[soft tense music]
He's a client by name only.
Actually, they have a very large transaction scheduled
for this week. - How big?
- Big, like 100 million.
- Derrick's selling over the Z that we handed to him?
- What do you do exactly?
- I'm a programmer for a crypto company.
I facilitate large transfers with guaranteed anonymity,
no questions asked.
- So you help the crooks get paid.
- Crooks like you.
It's the future, just as good as cash
and completely untraceable.
You know, I'm gonna be killed for this.
I'm in too deep, and I know too much with these guys,
so I really hope that you guys can do something.
I've seen the trades this company's made.
They're after something big.
I know based on everything you guys know about me,
I'm a total piece of shit.
I get that, but I've really been trying
to actually be a better person.
So that in the case that I do bow out,
I'd like to go out as a slightly smaller piece
of shit than I am now. - What are you saying?
- What I am saying is that they're on a different level.
They wanna control everything, full market manipulation.
So I don't know if you all are the good guys
or the bad guys, but it seems to me
that you're all my best chance of staying alive
and to start being a better person.
- Appreciate that sentiment. The problem is we're all dead.
We have no Z, so no matter what we do,
they'll always be a day ahead of us.
[footsteps shuffle]
- What the fuck is Z?
[trunk clicks open] [birds chirp]
[footsteps shuffle]
- Stop flexing. - [laughs] I'm not.
- I'm starting to have that feeling again.
- That we should be dead? - Why aren't we?
They have our Z.
- Because they want something else.
- Like more Z?
[contemplative music]
- No. - Do you know where he is?
- No. Nobody does. - Lee.
- Fine. He may have reached out a couple times.
- That could be the 100 million dollar transaction.
- Finn, no.
- The only way to protect ourselves
from these guys is to get more Z from Jay.
- But that's exactly what we want,
and as soon as we lead them, there they'll kill us.
- Unless we make a plan.
[doors slam]
- So again, where are we going?
[engine starts] [car beeps]
- His name's Jay. He's the cook.
- Something wrong? - Hmm?
We have a bit of a complicated history.
He used to pay me cash to test out the Z Plus,
and I haven't seen him since. - Since when?
- Since I stole it from him.
[contemplative music] [engine revs]
- So I know I've been asking this a lot,
but where are we going?
- Jay's. - Oh, right.
- He's the one who invented the stuff.
- The time travel pills? - Yep.
- Have you met this guy? - No. Lee has.
- So, like time travel. Wow.
Can someone just please explain to me how all this works?
[upbeat music]
Fine.
So are you and the guy with the 'stache a thing?
I mean, are you married or something?
I mean, it seem like you guys are really hitting it off.
- It's called CTT, consciousness time trading.

- So that's that?
We're outta Z, on the run, and they have the supply.
- And that's why I stopped producing.
You and I both know you keep doing this,
you'll end up dead or worse.
- So.
Can you help us out?
[food crunches]
- Maybe. - What do you want?
- I don't want anything.
You know, we're not all into this for personal gain.
Plus, I only have one pill left.
- That's it?
- Well that and some [laughs] newly created muscle relaxers.
- What's wrong with 'em?
- They'll kill you.
[contemplative music] [footsteps shuffle]
- Lee was kind enough to give me some of his clothes.
- No shit. You look like Tommy Bahama fucked a wet dog.
[Simon chuckles]
- So how long have you known the other guys?
- Need you guys to jump in the van
and put these sensors down on any roadways
that connect to here within five miles.
They come early, we'll know.
Sophia's idea, and a good one, too.
[bag rustles]
[Lee grunts]
- So what are you going to do when this is all done, huh?
- [sighs] I haven't thought that far.
- [Jay] You gotta keep running forever?
- I haven't thought about it.
[shovel hits dirt]
- I am so sorry what I did to you and the others.
- [exhales sharply] Save it, Jay.
- No, I was selfish. - Selfish? You think?
[slow dramatic music]
You understand the up things that you used to do?
Recruiting desperate people like me?
- I thought I was acting in the name of science.
- I told you all about my brother, how sick he was.
He was my only family, and I would do anything
that I needed to to help him out.
And you never even seemed to care, Jay.
Every time we jumped,
we lost a little bit of our connection to reality.
- I know. It's just that when you took the Z-
- When I took the Z,
that's because that was the quickest thing that I could do
to get my brother the money that he needed.
- And how did all that work out?
- I went too far.
Eventually, I couldn't differentiate
between what happened and what didn't.
I ended up owing a lot of money.
- I don't wanna see you crash like this, never again.
- Told you, I got it figured out.
- I know.
I know you think you have it all under control,
but believe me when I tell you,
you're either gonna have to give this up or bring others in.
- Jay, after this is done, I'm getting rid of the Z Plus.
- Whatever you say.
- You wanna know the worst thing?
Put two grand on the Jets. - You serious?
You came in and made that bet yesterday, Lee, and lost.
- No I didn't.
- [Danny] This is the fifth time this week.
You keep calling and repeating yourself.
[frequency whines] [Lee grunts]
- Oh, shit. What day is it?
- [Danny] Really? It's Tuesday.
Lee, you okay? - No, I'm fine.
I'm fine. I just, I gotta go, Danny.
Hi, Nancy. Yeah, I called my brother, and I don't know.
He must be sleeping or something like that.
I was just thinking about coming by today.
- [Nancy] Lee, I'm not sure I understand.
- No, I called Matt.
I just need to come by and talk
to him about some family stuff.
- [Nancy] Lee.
[air booms and undulates]
Our conversation yesterday. Are you okay?
[muffled speaking]
[crickets chirp] [slow dramatic music]
At the end, I didn't even know that my brother had died.
- I'm sorry.
[footsteps shuffle]
- Uh uh, I'm driving.
[bright upbeat music]
- Okay, according to the information we have
from Simon and Martin, this plan is based on the assumption
that Derrick and his guys will try to take us down tomorrow.
First question is who jumps forward
since we only have one pill.
- It's Martin. Sorry, Sophia.
He's got the experience. - Over the next 24 hours,
I'll set up a security camera system around the house
that will record continuously.
Martin, tomorrow, you'll take the Z Plus.
Presumably, you'll wake up the day of the ambush.
The security camera feed
will be sent directly to your phone.
You'll have one hour to scrub through the footage
to find out exactly when and how they come.
I know I don't have to tell you this,
but every detail helps.
Once you have the information,
you'll wake up back here and inform us of everything.
At that point, Lee and I will form a plan
to recontextualize events in our favor.
- Okay, first of all, love the optimism,
but each of Derrick's men carry enough Z serum with them
that they could be forwards or backwards at any moment.
So no matter what we do, they will always be ahead of us.
Even if this does succeed, they're not going to stop.
- Noted. How can I help?
- How much control do you have over Derrick's transactions?
Redirect it? - Maybe.
I mean, if we're within a mile of Volkov
when the transaction gets improved, then yeah, probably.
- Love that confidence.
[dark brooding music]
- [Derrick] Okay, well, you'll have it tonight.
- Good, good. Very good.
[electronic beeps trill]
Get the transfer ready.
- The funds will be in your account until midnight tonight.
Then we need answers.
[knock taps] [soft tense music]
- Hey, how are we doing?
- This definitely isn't low risk.
We don't have to do this. We can figure something else out.
- No. We're gonna finish the job.
- It'll work. - And what if it doesn't?
- Then you guys can run. Jay will make some more.
You'll stay ahead. You'll figure something out.
- Thought we were getting rid of the Z.
- I'll leave that up to you.
Hey. It's okay.
[watch beeps]
- Northwest sensor just went off.
- Mm-hmm. Hide everyone.
[dramatic music]
We gotta move. Derrick and his guys are early.
They're gonna be here in five minutes.
- Well, shit. So question.
How am I supposed to jump to tomorrow
and give us an heads up if we're all going
to be dead within the hour?
[door opens] [birds chirp]
[door slams]
- It's a beautiful day.
[tires crunch]
You have a plan, don't you? - Are you serious?
- [laughs] Well, don't tell me.
I mean, I don't care. I love surprises.
Do you?
[dark brooding music] [doors open and slam]
[footsteps shuffle]
- Long time no see.
- I wanted to thank you for the gift.
- Robert?
- The name's Derrick now, Jay Tupple.
- [sighs] What happened to you, Robert?
- Derrick!
The name is Derrick.
They told me about your Z Plus, the advances that you made.
It's pretty amazing stuff compared to what we used.
- They're jumping. - No, he's not.
They only have one pill left.
I was gonna take it this afternoon.
[boots thump] [tense music]
Sorry, Lee. I've had with your self-serving rules.
Your rules got me killed. The girl is still inside.
[footsteps shuffle]
I mean, you've got a time travel pill, right?
And your first thought is, "Oh, petty crime." [laughs]
You know what your problem is, Lee?
You've got no imagination. I mean, look at you.
You're a low budget Tom Selleck cosplaying alcoholic.
But us, we're gonna change the world.
- You piece of shit.
You led us straight to Jay
and then you led them straight here.
Wait for us to make a plan, and then you fucked us.
- [Martin] Sorry.
- Don't you take us and let them be?
- Oh, well, why would I do that?
- Because you need me alive.
- Fortunately for me, you're fine.
- Except I'm not.
I made these muscle relaxers, and they're not good.
I mean, they're deadly.
Really, you should see
in the back the mass graveyard I have [laughs] in place.
So when I saw you coming, I took one.
I have about 30 minutes to live.
[tense jazzy music]
- You're lying.
- Go ahead, kill him. I don't care.
I mean, his mind is so messed up from the Z,
it's probably all mush.
He's nothing to me. Worthless.
- Thank you, Jay. - No problem.
But I know where an antidote is.
It's buried in a safe in an empty field
about five miles from here.
[tense brooding music]
We go, leave them here, get the antidote, and off we go.
[footsteps shuffle]
[laughs]
[gunshot blasts] [body thuds]
- [Finn] Oh, shit!
[gunshots blast]
- I'm not fucking around here!
[heartbeats echo]
Pack up the body.
I'm sure there's some experiments they
could do if the old man's not lying.
[dark brooding music]
Number one, number two, take them inside.
Number three and I'll take this one.
We'll meet you back here once we have the antidote.
[footsteps shuffle]
- [Simon] Fuck!
- Simon, you need to calm down.
- Finn, Lee just got killed and we lost a scientist.
What the fuck do you want? - Everything's fine.
- Are you sure? - Yeah. Are you sure, Finn?
- Trust me.
[jazzy contemplative music] [phone rings]
- Yes. We have the stash.
We have the scientist. Lee's dead.
- Well done. What's your ETA?
- [Derrick] We have a little bit of a situation.
Tupple poisoned himself.
We're on our way to get the antidote.
- Send your location. I'll send someone.
- Okay, no. That's not gonna work for me.
- And why is that, Mr. Volkov?
- Because once you know my location, I'm a dead man.
I need the transaction approved before I return.
- Fine.
I'll send half,
but only after I see a picture
of a healthy Dr. Tupple will I approve.
- Okay, good. Deal.
[electronic beeps trill]
- We have eight minutes to get within one mile of them.
Need to get to the van.
Simon, you still think you can redirect that transaction?
- Yeah. - Okay.
Computer's in the van. You have the keys, right?
- Oh shit. I left them on the counter.
- Okay. We'll get the keys.
- How are you gonna do that? - Improvise.
[door opens]
[tires crunch]
[Derrick snaps]
- Take it off!
Tell us where the antidote is buried.
- It's about two feet underneath that red reflector.
- Go.
[door opens]
[door slams]
- You may have some trouble.
It's not a combination safe. It's an eye scanner.
And if he uses his eyes, you burn 'em right out.
- I'll call your bluff.

[man screams]
- Oh, fuck! Take Jay.
- No, no. I want you to take me.
- Why? No. - Fine. I'll die.
- I think we have five minutes to get to them.
[tires crunch]
[door opens] [Derrick grunts]
- Something's wrong?
- I don't trust you.
[door slams] [door opens]
Let's go.
[door slams] [footsteps shuffle]
- One minute.
- You know, Robert,
I truly am sorry for what I did to you and everyone.
I mean, my intentions were scientific.
I wanted to see what was possible,
what the mind was capable of.
If I had known this storm was coming-
- [Derrick] Shut up!
Do it.
- Cheers.
- Okay, pull over here.
[tires crunch]
[shutter clicks]
[electronic beeps trill]
[device beeps]
- Great.
- Okay, good. The transfer's been approved.
Soon, the system will pinpoint the address of the receiver
and transfer the money onto Volkov's device.
[electronic beeps trill] [tense music]
The encryption process
is behind a nearly unbreakable firewall,
and once it's on his device and he's air gapped,
the money's gone for good, but.
- What?
- Guess who helped design the security system?
Me. I did, I designed the security system.
Jesus.
[computer keys clack] [electronic beeps trill]
[deep electronic alarm beeps]
- Who is this?
- Let's just say I'm a ghost.
[contemplative music]
- Where are you?
- Honestly, it's complicated, time travel and whatnot.
I just wanted to say congratulations. Jay's all yours.
I never got your name, by the way.
- If I can clone Derrick's device and address,
I can hijack the transfer, and the money's ours.
Just hope no one catches on.
- I ask again, where are you?
- Okay, fine. But first, I have a question.
What do you want with the Z?
I mean, all this work to track down a crazy old man.
It's just me and my friends. We love a good plan.
[computer keys clack] [computer beeps]
- Now we just need the system
to find me before it finds him.
- Lee, do you know
what the world's most valuable resource is today?
It's not money. - It's time.
- Now, it's data.
Whoever controls the information controls everything.
People are products, Lee, and with more information,
the more you can tell them what to think, how to act.
We can bring people together, Lee.
Unfortunately, Jay Tupple seems to be the only person
who knows how to make what I need.
Six months ago, I received a list of subjects
that included both you and Mr. Volkov.
Our research showed that you were the only ones aware
of the location of Dr. Tupple.
- So why not kidnap me and cut my fingers off or something?
- In the meantime,
we figured we might use you to replenish our finances,
but second, Lee, as I said,
we at the organization don't like to get our hands dirty.
- Volkov.
- He's always sending one man jumping forward,
one man jumping back.
He never stood a chance. - Okay, okay.
Encryption's done. It's bridging the two accounts.
It's either gonna go to us or them. Hopefully us.
- Now where are you?
- [Lee] Right, sorry.
Hmm. The better question is when.
- Come on, come on.
[system beeps]
- But sure, physically, physically,
I'm in a boat with 50 million in my bank account.
[computer beeps]
- It worked.
[laughs] It worked!
[upbeat funky music]
Fuck yeah! Fucking told you guys it would work!
[electronic beeps trill]
[phone vibrates]
- Martin, get out of there and kill Derrick and take Jay.
The money's all yours.
[doors lock]
- Right now, you're probably calling Martin telling him
to get Jay and the Z and get out of there.
- Hey. - Don't bother.
He'll be stuck in there for the next 30 seconds or so.
- If you knew our plans,
the question is how can you possibly know
what's happening next?
- [Lee] So you don't think we have time
to make a fake batch?
- Not one that's any good.
[knock thuds]
- We'll figure it out. Come in.
[door opens] [footsteps shuffle]
- Did I interrupt something? - No.
- Do we have a plan?
Because I'm not thrilled about being sidelined like this.
- [Lee And Finn] We're working on it.
- How are you so sure you could trust Simon
or Martin for that matter?
- How do we know that we can trust you?
- You can't, but if you don't need me,
I don't need to be here.
- Point taken.
- I have an idea.
[bright upbeat music]
- Need you guys to jump in the van
and put these sensors down on any roadways
that connect to here within five miles.
If they come early, we'll know.
Martin didn't lay down his sensors.
- Okay then.
Okay.
So they'll be here at 12:58 PM,
Derrick and three guys in masks.
Martin's in on it like we thought.
So we're gonna need that fake pill that you gave me.
I didn't totally hear why, but Jay did something crazy,
and they're talking about someone named Robert.
Lee, you get shot.
- Where? - In the chest.
- It's gonna hurt. - Four times.
- Did you see him die? - No.
- Okay, so right now Lee is both alive and dead.
Schrodinger's cat. Let's set the odds in our favor.
Martin, tomorrow, you'll take the Z Plus.
- They only have one pill left.
I was gonna take it this afternoon.
[Derrick laughs] [gunshot blasts]
- I'm not fucking around here! Pack up the body.
I'm sure there's some experiments they
could do if the old man's not lying.
- [Martin] Each of Derrick's men carry enough Z serum
with them that they could be jumping forwards
or backwards at any moment.
[air whooshes]
[hatch door shuts]
[door slams]
- I told you, my friends and I, we love a good plan.
See you later.
[tongue clicks] [system beeps]
- [Derrick] I said let's go!
[leaves rustle]
- [Simon] We got him.
- Oh, shit, that was hot.
[upbeat rock music]
- No, no, no, no, no! Fuck!
You've gotta be fucking kidding me.
God, he's got bulletproof windows!
Hey, you piece of shit! You're dead!
Look at me!
♪ I got the letter that you wrote ♪
[Derrick laughs]
- Clever!
You know none of this matters, right?
The organization and I are weeks away
from turning my old supply of Z into your fancy Z Plus!
So if you think-
♪ I got the letter that you wrote ♪
- Shit! I'm gonna bury you!
♪ Hey, listen, babe, I'm gonna go ♪
♪ You can't just take my love ♪ [muffled shouting]

[Martin pants]
[air undulates] [dark brooding music]
[man chuckles]
- [Lee] So, what's next for you, Jay?
- Good question. I really don't know yet.
- Well, you know they're gonna be after you.
- Yeah, but don't worry about me.
I'll go home, I'll do some fishing,
and I'll wait for my next call.
["Claire de Lune"] [Jay chuckles]
- You've been using.
- How you feeling? - Okay, just weird.
- The future that you saw yesterday when you jumped forward,
how close was that to what actually happened today?
- It was pretty close, I think.
Can I ask you something?
All these like memories and timelines,
how do you decide what's real?
- [chuckles] Look around,
figure out what you believe is true right now,
and just commit to it.
And if you still have questions, you can ask me.
[watch beeps]
[air whooshes]
[phone chimes]
- Son of a bitch.
- [Lee] Hey, how's it going?
Whoever this is, leave a message.
- This is a courtesy call.
I hope you're running because whenever we find you,
well, you and whoever you are with
are going to wish you were dead.
- Well, we don't need money anymore.
[Lee and Finn chuckle] [flames crackle]
- So what's the plan?
- [Organizer] Let's see how far those pills get you
because now they're your only chance.
You can say goodbye to living in the moment, Lee,
because from this moment on, if you want to stay alive,
you'll be living in the yesterday,
[air whooshes]
the today, and the tomorrow.
[watch beeps]
[engine hums]
- Welcome to tomorrow.

[deep electronic alarm blares]
- Hello. I have some news.
We've had a successful test.
We believed we've cracked the formula.
- Really? - Yes and no.
What we've created is close.
However, whereas Z Plus allowed trading between days,
this one appears to be stronger.
[up-tempo electronic music]
- How so?
- Sir, this isn't a matter of hours or days.
We're talking about weeks, months, maybe more.
We don't know.
- Excellent.
