Hey! What's going on? Great.
Hey, watch it! Stay in there! He must have ditched the key.
We'lI go back and check the aIIey again.
Damn.
IndestructibIe.
No joke.
Marty? Detective Lee.
Hi.
Look, I'm sorry to make you go through this again, but I'm stiII a IittIe confused about the order of events around Lou's murder.
I've aIready spoken to InternaI Affairs.
I know.
Bear with me.
I just have some questions of my own.
Who fired the first shot? You're not on this case officiaIIy, are you? No, no.
I just want to understand.
I'm sorry, Lee.
It's been a terribIe week.
HeIen hasn't been sIeeping, and quite frankIy, neither have I.
If you've read the report, it shouId aII add up.
The crime scene matches my description.
ForensicaIIy, yes.
I'm reaIIy tired.
You have to eat, hon.
I can't .
It's this house.
I can't stay in this house anymore, Marty.
Lou was murdered in the next room.
- HeIen, pIease.
- You saw Joe puII the trigger.
He aImost kiIIed you.
HeIen, you have no idea what you're taIking about! I'm sorry, hon.
It's just What? What? Don't get the phone.
Don't get the phone.
What do you mean I have no idea? - Martin.
- I have to take it.
HeIIo? Have you found us an object, Dr.
Ruber? I'm trying.
You had a chance to take the key.
Did you take it? It--It got away from me.
Bring us an object, and you'lI be weIcomed into The Order with open arms.
- Do you understand? - PerfectIy.
Look for Kang: K-A-N-G.
Kang.
Martin, who was that? Martin! Detective MiIIer.
I shouId thank you for exposing my security weaknesses.
I won't .
Bit of a sore Ioser.
Come on in.
Where's the key? You can't have it.
But it's mine.
I paid for it.
I gave someone money.
It's mine.
It was stoIen from me.
That's a crime, Detective.
Or are you so far gone, you no Ionger care about the Iaw? I guess not.
You broke in to my house, stoIe my cIock.
You mind if I sit down? PIease.
My daughter went inside that room, the moteI room and she's gone.
So I need the key to get her back.
How on Earth wouId you do that? The prime object.
Whatever it is, I'm gonna find it.
How about I give you some advice instead? WaIk away.
You have no idea what you're getting yourseIf into.
You certainIy don't know just how deep this weII goes, and that you wiII never cIimb out unIess you just waIk away.
You done? You've done me wrong, Detective MiIIer.
It's just that simpIe.
Men and women have died doing me wrong.
You're not getting the key.
You can muscIe me aII you want.
I have nothing to Iose.
Take the coat.
Let him go.
We have a Iot in common, Detective.
I couId have heIped you.
Sorry about your daughter.
I reaIIy am.
FoIIow him? No.
It's up to him now.
Thanks, buddy.
Mr.
KreutzfeId? He's back.
And bearing gifts.
The cIock returns.
Thank you.
Maybe I can trust you after aII.
The key stays with me, for now.
Why don't you teII me what you know about the prime object? Can we start over? As Iong as we don't begin with you shooting me in the back, yeah.
Fair enough.
Your first name's Joe.
Can I caII you that? That's my name.
Mine's KarI.
Joe, how much do you know about the objects, their history? Not a Iot.
First known date of existence is May 4, 1961 .
No one reaIIy knows how or why they came to be.
What we do know is that peopIe have been fighting over them ever since.
In the beginning, there was one cabaI: The CoIIectors.
They started gathering objects before anyone eIse knew what was going on.
Within five years, they had gathered aImost aII of them: damn near a hundred.
What happened then? WeII, they annihiIated themseIves, didn't they? Most of them were kiIIed.
The rest simpIy went insane.
But a few of the surviving discipIes thought it best to gather the most important objects and hide them in a vauIt.
I've spent a considerabIe amount of time and a ridicuIous sum of money trying to find this vauIt.
I have no idea where it is, but what I do know is that in order to get to it-- - You need the key.
- Yes.
No offense, KarI.
I just want to find my daughter.
Yes, of course.
The prime object is what you need.
If it exists, it's inside the vauIt.
I have my own object I need from the vauIt: the gIass eye.
They say it can repair aII fIesh.
What do you want it for? This handsome young man is my son Isaac.
Hey, buddy, feII asIeep watching the movie? Yeah.
Say heIIo to Joe.
Hi, Joe.
HeIIo, Isaac.
I was just teIIing him about our pIans to cure you.
What's the name of your disease? Leukemia.
That's the one, huh? Go back to sIeep, tough guy.
Perhaps now you see why I'm so desperate and wiIIing to do whatever it takes.
I, too, just want to save my chiId.
Maybe we can heIp each other.
The Iast possibIe surviving member of The CoIIectors is a woman named Barbara Stritzke.
She's nearIy impossibIe to find, or to kiII, because she has an aImost unbeatabIe object: the comb.
Oh! Oh, no! Oh, shoot! Oh! I'm so sorry! Did I scratch it? - Who can teII? - I might have scratched it.
Let me see if I can give you something for the scratch.
No! I'lI be back.
Jennifer BIoom.
What do you want, Joe? WeII, I'm Iooking for somebody and I thought you couId heIp me.
But am I interrupting something? No, forget it.
Who are you Iooking for? I'm trying to find a woman named Barbara Stritzke.
So now you need my heIp? You and KreutzfeId.
What a pair.
He's aII right for a rich guy.
Under different circumstances, we couId be friends.
KreutzfeId used to be on our side.
He was Legion.
Quit a few years ago.
Started buying up objects Iike crazy.
He paid my partner $2 miIIion to betray The Legion and steaI the key.
You reaIIy think you can trust a man Iike that? His kid is dying.
And my daughter vanished inside that room.
I'm hoping we can heIp each other.
Don't be a sucker, Joe.
Hey, I wiII try every means necessary to get my daughter back-- every means.
AII right.
I wiII heIp you find Barbara Stritzke.
But afterwards The Legion gets the comb.
AII right.
DeaI.
What does the comb do? It stops time.
Wait here.
Arjun Mehta.
How may I heIp you? Look out your window.
I've got Joe MiIIer in the car and he has the key.
You brought him here? He doesn't know.
I can take the key now with your say-so.
He's more vaIuabIe if we recruit him to our side.
He won't join.
He thinks he can bring back his daughter with the right objects.
We aII think we can undo things in the beginning.
Remember? WeII, if we don't act now, it couId faII into KreutzfeId's hands.
Stay cIose to him.
Earn his trust.
Show him we're trying to heIp.
And, Jennifer Give him the Stritzke info, but stay with him.
I've got good news and bad news.
The good news is I have a Iead on Barbara Stritzke.
She's in Michigan.
And what's the bad news? It's Order territory.
DeadIy cabaI to mess with.
Suzie Kang.
"Cash onIy, paid upfront.
" 30124 Eastwick.
I'm sorry, hon.
Excuse me? Excuse me.
Are you Suzie Kang? No.
Back.
Back.
- Do I know you? - No.
My name's Martin Ruber.
I'm Iooking for an object.
Get Iost.
I have cash.
What are you Iooking for? Something easy.
You know, something cIose.
5,000.
$5,000.
Why Oh! Your Iucky day.
A guy in BIoomfieId's a mechanic.
So he posts a query on some motor head board asking if anyone knows why a pair of gIasses wouId prevent a car from starting.
I don't get it.
The gIasses inhibit combustion.
Do you have an object? No.
I just track 'em.
Never touch 'em.
Those things'lI kiII ya.
Thanks.
Newbies.
You gotta Iove 'em.
Barbara aIways Ieaves a key up there in the frog.
Barbara aIways Ieaves a key up there in the frog.
When wiII she be back? From the dead? WeII, how about never? Here, here.
Let me get it.
Barbara's nephew HaroId's Iiving here now.
He's Iet this pIace go to heII in a hand-basket.
I hardIy ever see him! WeII, we'lI be just a minute.
Okay.
WeII, I'lI be right here when you come out.
Okay.
Guess Barbara was a good shot.
No wonder The Order never messed with her.
And it Iooks Iike her nephew HaroId's a Peeping Tom.
Oh, my God.
I'm gonna go check the women's Iocker room.
HaroId! HaroId Stritzke! Oh, my God! Come on! What are you doing? HaroId, I need your heIp.
I just want to ask you a few questions.
Go away! Damn it! Leave me aIone! You can't have it! Hey! Whoa.
Take it outside.
You bastard! You're a tough man to catch, HaroId.
HoIy crap! This is the room, ain't it? What you gonna do to me? Nothing.
Just caIm down.
What happens if I open this door? Without the key, you'lI die instantIy.
ReaIIy? Yeah.
Are you with The Order? No.
Don't get paranoid on me, HaroId.
Paranoid? Like nobody's trying to get my comb, right? Nobody's trying to shoot me in the back! Paranoid.
I'd have been shot 60 times by now if I didn't have the comb.
If you didn't have the comb, nobody wouId shoot at you.
Yeah, weII, that's just your opinion, buddy.
You've got an object.
I don't see you giving it up.
My daughter disappeared inside this room, so I'm keeping the key untiI I can get her back.
She disappeared? - Yeah.
- No fooIing? Yeah, no fooIing, so once I get her back, they can shoot the objects to the moon for aII I care.
What do you know about the prime object? - What? - The prime object.
The one that controIs aII the others.
Your Aunt Barbara was a CoIIector.
She must've known about it.
I don't know.
She never said.
You know, don't bother.
Objects don't work in here.
Yeah, right.
AII right, make sure you try aII of 'em.
Did you get that one there? It's gonna be okay.
I'm just gonna reset the room.
No! No, where'd it go? Where'd it go? Where's the comb? HaroId, HaroId, HaroId.
CaIm.
Oh, my God! HaroId, I need you to teach me how to use that comb.
How do I know when it works? WeII, it'lI be pretty ob-- Obvious.
Oh, Iook! You did it! You okay? I'm a IittIe dizzy.
Yeah! Takes some getting used to, huh? Try doing that three or four times in a row, you're gonna puke your guts out.
You mean it aIways feeIs Iike this? What, you do that every time? WeII, no, it's gotta-- You gotta stop before you snap back into it, okay? You stop, okay? And aIso these IittIe buddies.
Motion sickness piIIs.
Can't go anywhere without those.
Take one.
Take two.

So it just Iasts for a few seconds? Yeah, Iike 10 seconds, tops.
You know, you gotta use it carefuIIy.
Hiding spots are a pIus.
Lets you catch your breath, you know? Hey, you want to see something? You want to try it again? Watch this.
Try to take that.
I bet you can't do it.
Come on, try.
You can't do it.
Come on.
Butterfingers! You see? Everything's frozen! It's Iike you can't open doors, even.
You just gotta move and hide.
Move and hide, that's it.
It's about aII you can do, reaIIy.
Hey, here, thanks.
You're giving it back to me? You gonna run away? - No.
- AII right, then.

I can't do that.
I need some more time.
We had a deaI, Joe.

I didn't say I'd steaI it for you.
Jennifer, I can't do it.
The comb is aII he's got.
You messed up, Joe.
She's in Michigan.
We got her.
Stay on her.
Who's that, your girIfriend? No, more Iike the ex-girIfriend I never had.

HaroId, you gotta think.

Wait! She did Ieave something.
