FlashForward s01e22 Episode Script
Future Shock
Forget what we saw.
We're here, and I don't want to waste any more time.
I've been keeping a secret from you.
Keiko--she's in Los Angeles.
(Woman) Keiko Arahida.
Your mom has posted your bail.
This ring is a quantum entanglement device.
This little thing prevents people from blacking out? Hellinger wants to help you.
Who's Hellinger? Hellinger's our boss.
You're going to die, but your daughter's gonna be better off when you're gone.
(Grunts) They had me install a piece of software.
I can find out who made it and where it came from.
You get me into N.
L.
A.
P.
I'll tell you who caused the blackout.
Janis, this guy has been lying to us about everything.
And now you want to take him to N.
L.
A.
P.
? How the hell do you trust this guy? Her heart has stopped beating.
She's gone.
No, no! You do the math.
You're both part of the equation, both of you.
I cannot be in that house with you tonight.
At 10:00 P.
M.
, you have to here with me.
(Mark) On April 29th, I'm gonna be on a bender.
So why not start now? Today's the day daddy's a die.
(Keys jangling, cell door closes in distance) (Man speaking indistinctly over P.
A.
) (Fireworks exploding in distance) Why are we stopping, mom? 'Cause we're just gonna sit here for a while.
Okay.
Oh, wow, look! That one's shaped a star.
Yeah.
Oh, look at that, mom.
(Olivia) Yeah.
(Keys jangle) (Man) Flight number 37 (Both speaking Japanese) I'm looking for a Keiko Arahida.
I believe she's being held here.
Was.
She was released an hour ago.
Um did--did she say where she was going? Not in English.
Well, do you have a phone number for her? Um, uh, there's gotta be some sort of intake file, right? You got a warrant, officer? Listen, this Keiko-- I've never met her.
But I saw her in my flash-forward.
I-I started drawing her.
I have 20 canvases in my house of her.
She was wearing this t-shirt of a Sushi restaurant just outside of Tokyo.
So I flew to Japan.
I flew to Japan because of a t-shirt.
But I didn't find her.
I didn't find her, and I thought that was my only shot.
I know that she's here in L.
A.
, and now maybe you have a phone number.
She changed my life just because I saw her.
That was really your flash-forward? Yeah.
It was.
That's amazing.
(Lowers voice) Because in my flash-forward (Whispering) I had $100 in my pocket, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me how it got there.
(Aaron) This isn't right.
I saw her alive.
So did you.
I saw her.
Okay.
A pulse? Yes.
Very faint.
Stay with me, Trace.
(Sniffles) I'm begging you.
Stay strong.
Okay.
Stay with me, Tracy.
Stay with me.
Just live, and we'll wind up where we're supposed to be.
That's it The la Honda access point.
This is mile 6 of the accelerator's 10-mile length.
We get in there, I can get to the mainframe, find the software Hellinger's men had me install, and use it to destroy them.
You'll use it to help us identify them.
Right.
That's the deal.
One of us needs to get this device close to the security guard's access card.
(Beeps) Then it'll transmit its code to my cell phone.
Okay.
We'll just get the rig close to the security guard that we're trying to completely avoid.
That sounds simple.
Good stuff, Simon.
This is gonna get us inside the gate.
This is gonna get us inside everything.
I know you don't trust him.
I trust you.
If you're here, I'm here.
Ohh.
What's the matter? What's going on? I don't know.
Something's not right.
I think I did it back in my apartment.
Okay, we're going to the hospital.
No, no.
We have to do this tonight.
We're not gonna get a second chance.
Janis.
The FBI's not gonna let him near that machine.
Catching whoever is behind the blackout is more important than anything else.
You need to do this.
Please.
Do it for me.
(Door buzzes) Stan-- don't tell me I won't regret doing this.
I already do.
Let's go.
Flash Forward 1x22 Future Shock (Siren wailing in distance) Your snapping on Hellinger like that-- I take some responsibility.
I let it happen.
What the hell are you talking about? We were so focused on finding when the next blackout is, I haven't seen what's been going on with you.
Yeah, I've been meaning to talk to you about your priorities lately.
(Chuckles) (Cell phone rings) (Ring, beep) Wedeck.
(Man) Sir, we've found two bombs in the FBI with timers.
There are probably more.
Call in the bomb squad.
I'm on my way.
Guess you're coming with me.
(Tires screech) (Tires screech, horn honks) Hands on the wheel.
Hands on the wheel.
Get out of the car slow.
Slow! I need help! Ma'am, what are you doing here? (Beeping) (Whispers) What's taking so long? (Whisper well, she has to get the reader closer.
(Strained voice) Trying to find Pacific State Hospital on Old la Honda.
Ma'am? Ma'am? Ma'am? (Beep) (Guard grunts) (Beep, door buzzes) (Simon, whispering) Come on! (Demetri, whispering) Wait.
That looked real.
She was hurting.
I need an ambulance at la Honda access point.
He's getting her to a hospital.
Come on.
La Honda access point.
(Charlie) We should be home now.
It's almost 10:00.
Mm-hmm.
Well, we're not.
So then things can change? Mm-hmm.
Dylan! What are you doing ? Hi, Charlie.
Uh, sweetie, why don't you take Dylan to the car and go get him a juice box? Okay.
Come on, Dylan.
How did you find us? Uh, well, actually, um, my people called your people.
The bodyguards? In my flash-forward, I think I was on the verge of--of figuring out something really crucial, but I think for that to happen, I have to be at your house.
I have to recreate those conditions.
Tell you what-- why don't you let yourself in? And then you recreate all the conditions you want.
Listen to me.
Listen.
You're part of it-- you and Charlie.
It's like Gabriel said.
You're part of the puzzle.
How, exactly? I don't know.
I just know that you are.
This is bigger than you and me.
We can't stop it.
I've tried.
Mark pushed me away to save the world-- no, I can't push you away.
Don't you understand? I can't do this alone.
Maybe you should.
You're part of the equation, and I cannot do it without you.
(Cell phone beeps) What, uh, what are you doing here? Did you find her? They just released her.
I got a contact number for her.
It's, um (Beep) It's the restaurant where I saw her in my flash-forward.
Turns out it's in L.
A.
It's all coming true for you.
Look, Bryce, I-I I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
You know, she flew all the way across the Pacific Ocean just to meet you, and I I tried to keep you apart.
No, I'm sorry.
This whole thing is my fault.
I'm sorry.
I've been ignoring the truth, the feelings that I had.
I know it sounds crazy, but I love her.
This whole thing with her was meant to be.
I mean, I put these on this morning without a second thought.
It wasn't until half an hour ago that I realized this is what I was wearing in my flash-forward.
- I gotta go.
- Yeah.
You should go.
(Woman) All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in 3-ounce or smaller containers.
(Speaking foreign language) (Speaking Japanese) Uhh! (Speaking Japanese) (Speaking in Japanese) (Siren whoops) (Brakes squeal) (Helicopter whirring) (Mark) No, no, no, no, no.
Hear me out.
Wait.
Hear me out.
Whoever put those bombs in there is targeting something specific.
So we need to figure out what.
So help me, Mark, all the glorious choirs of heaven, if you step out of this car, I will have your head on a plate.
I'm gonna send over a driver.
Stay in the car.
(Man speaking indistinctly) You need a friend, so I tracked him down for you.
(Beep, phone ringing) Someone to keep you company while you wait.
(Ring) (Ring, beep) Hello? Aaron, it's Mark.
Listen, I'm okay, but I talked to Wedeck, and I need to know what's going on with you.
I don't know.
I just kind of lost it.
And then And then I started to drink.
You know Sometimes what happens in the world makes us forget it's all up to us.
We have choices-- you, me Tracy.
You choose what's next, and you'll wind up right where you're supposed to be.
Take care of yourself, Mark.
Okay.
(Man shouting indistinctly, siren wailing) Agent Benford.
Been celebrating? A little.
Had to get back to the office, though.
Loose ends.
There's nothing to see up there, Mark.
It's a fool's errand.
Last time I listened to you, I took my eyes off the prize.
Not gonna happen again.
I have to go.
Got a little errand to run.
I have a new goldfish named Sadie.
Can I see it? Come on.
It's upstairs.
I want cookies after.
Dylan, that's not how we ask.
(Olivia) It's okay.
Mi casa es su casa.
That means my house is your house, too.
It's my house, too.
Come on.
So So Uh, 9:33.
27 minutes till your epiphany.
Yeah.
Uh okay.
I think I'd better get to work.
All right.
So how--how does this work? We just take our positions at 10:00, wait for your breakthrough? Yeah, I think I'll keep my shirt on this time.
Okay.
(Whirring) (Beep) (Door whooshes) (Beep) What the hell? I don't know what happened.
Open this door.
I don't know what happened.
Wait, let me just-- now, Simon! I don't know what happened.
I knew you'd try to pull something, you sociopathic, lying son You're welcome.
Come on in.
Your friend asked you to trust me.
Janis wanted me to help you.
I do not trust you.
This is the last piece of leverage I have left.
And now you have it.
Let's get to work.
Shall we? (Helicopter whirring) (Man) Confirming devices on floors five, six and ten, over.
(Vogel) You got a det time? Affirmative.
36 minutes and counting.
Copy that.
What's the update? Bombs, Mark.
We've located them on at least five floors.
This is bigger than Hellinger.
Yeah.
He's just a link in the chain.
They're coming after Mosaic.
Are you about to do what I think you're about to do? Your chances of making it out of there are not good.
I need you to do something for me.
If they're coming after Mosaic, Lloyd Simcoe is not safe, either.
Now I've got this covered.
I'll secure Simcoe.
- You can find him at-- - Your house.
It's what I saw.
It's It's where I'm going, right? Right.
Lock it down.
You should know I also saw myself telling another Agent you were dead.
Lloyd Simcoe's key.
We need him alive.
Same goes for you.
I'll keep that in mind.
Mom, come here! My God.
He got into your lipstick and just started writing.
It's the formula in my flash-forward.
This is what I saw.
How is that possible? I always assumed I'd written it.
I guess Dylan must have memorized it this afternoon.
Is he in trouble? No.
Can we get cookies now? Sure.
Uh, Charlie, why don't you take Dylan downstairs and show him where they are? I will, but he already knows.
Come on, Dylan.
So what is this? What does it mean? This equation somehow links the Q.
E.
D.
, the blueprints and the flash-forward all together.
But it's a math problem, right? How would it possibly tie all those things together? It's the tachyon constant.
It's the greatest mystery in all of quantum physics.
And I have to solve it Right now.
(Man) Evacuate the entire building! Clear, blue team! Clear! (Woman) I've been waiting for you.
I'm really happy to see you.
Everything's gonna be okay.
That's what we saw, right? I haven't felt her move in three hours.
We're gonna get you an ultrasound.
Ready.
Okay.
He's where? He's in the building with the bombs where I left my car keys.
We've got 23 minutes until the building goes.
We've gotta get Benford.
The answers will come.
You sound so certain.
At 10:00 P.
M.
, the answers will come because they will.
It's not about equations.
It's not about the two of us just physically being here.
It's about this moment Right here.
I've fought it and resisted it, and yet here it is.
It happened.
The future happened.
All of it? (Gunfire) Somebody means business.
Yeah, you got that right.
You want up or down? Down.
Go for it.
I got you covered.
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
I'm sorry.
You can't come in.
Please, please.
I'm--I'm supposed to meet a woman here.
I learned Japanese.
(Speaking Japanese) (Speaking Japanese) Private party Please-- ah! Keiko (Speaking Japanese) Thank you.
(Horns honking) Try a different street, please.
When I can get to one.
I mean, the traffic's nuts.
Okay.
I need to go.
Thank you.
(Horn honks) (Tires screech) (Cheering) (Man) All right, everybody.
It's almost 10:00.
Five more minutes till we catch up to our future! You installed the software.
Now you can't find the file? I'm just not seeing it yet.
Beer? Beer? (Door squeaks) Helps me cogitate.
You know, Janis is gonna be okay.
How do you know? She saw it in her flash-forward.
All righet's get going.
Someone could walk in here any second.
(Demetri) It's almost 10:00.
(Beep) (Typing) I'm supposed to send Lloyd a text.
What is that, math? (Beeps) It's an equation for a damped 1-dimensional wave.
It was Lloyd's e-mail signature for years (Beeps) A damped wave.
He used to call it his "tearful good-bye.
" That's cute.
Is that physics humor? Well, I'm supposed to send him something.
He saw it.
An inside joke for an inside joke.
(Beeping) (Beep) (Typing) (Man) Four, three, two, one! It's 10:00, everybody! (Cheering) (Water gurgling) (Cell phone chirps) It's the text from--from Simon.
A wave.
Good God.
I have to make a call.
(Ringing) (Scoffs) Yeah.
It's me.
Did you crack it? Look, the constant I've been looking for--it isn't a number.
It's a wave.
If I plug the wave into the blueprint equation, I get an interval which, if added to the previous blackout, tells us-- tells us what, Lloyd? As precisely as I can tell, the next blackout is sometime in April 2010-- which means it's in the next two days.
Mark? Mark? Are you still there? April? April? 2010? (Crowd shouting and cheering) (Panting) (People speaking Japanese) (Whimpering) (Beeps) The baby's fine.
Good heartbeat.
But it's a boy.
It's a boy? You disappointed? No.
Just surprised.
Future is like that.
Yeah.
(Gunfire) (Shell casings clatter) (Beeping) (Door whooshes open) (Gunfire) (Helicopter whirring) God, we're almost through this thing.
Finally go back to the way things used to be-- where the only stuff we see is what's right in front of us.
Welcome to the future.
Who did this? The rings are different.
They moved.
Gabriel.
Make it look right.
You make it look right.
(Whispering) Gabriel.
Gabriel.
Gabriel.
Gabriel.
Gabriel.

(Gasps) April 29th.
10:14.
The blackout-- it's in 12 minutes.
(Elevator bell dings) (Elevator door opens) (Electronic whir) The command system won't let me access it.
What was it you said earlier? Now the only thing we can see is what's right in front of us? (Beep) Whoever did this may have copied the entire mainframe, created some kind of clone.
Wait.
So what you're looking at is a A fake, designed to prevent me from getting in.
They knew I'd be back.
Remember me? Now all I have to do is backdoor into my archived account, compare the system, compare the code I have no idea what you're talking about.
Bye-bye.
(Beeps) You got it? Downloading it for you now.
I don't know who you work for, Mr.
Hellinger, but whoever they are, they won't be very happy that you didn't prevent this Not at all.
(Beeping) Done.
Whatever you'll need to track the bastards is in here.
(Fireworks whistling in distance) Okay.
Hey.
Sweetie, go.
Go.
Go play with Dylan.
Mark Benford is dead.
He ran into the building.
Doesn't have a chance.
(Electronic whirring) (Cell phone rings) (Coughing) Okay.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Are you okay? Careful.
What happened? You went off the road into the lake.
I-I wasn't even sure you were with us.
Then I pulled you out of the car, and you started fighting me.
Hey, come on.
Hey, you must be freezing.
Here.
Okay.
There.
(Coughs) Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
In my flash-forward, I I saw myself saving you.
And all these months I thought maybe I failed.
(Chuckles) I'm, uh I'm really happy that I didn't.
You saw me? Yeah.
Okay.
An ambulance is on its way, okay? Hey.
My name's Ed.
Nicole.
(Beeping) What? (Groans) What is it? Someone's accessing the mainframe from outside.
What does that mean? It's a different command system originating off-site.
They have control.
(Typing on keyboard) (Automated female voice) Commencing activation sequence.
(Alarm blaring, rapid beeping, electronic whirring) (Gunfire) (Grunts) What have you done, Simon? Put your hands up!now! (Breathing heavily) You lying son of a bitch.
(Alarm blaring) (Fires) Hey, I didn't do this, Demetri, not then and certainly not now! I'm going to let them do this to me, Demetri.
I won't let them turn me into a monster, to use my machine, my mind.
Millions of people, Demetri-- millions of people don't deserve to die.
Know what? You want to stop me? You want to stop me from doing what I'm doing, which is trying to shut down this machine? Then you're going to have to shoot me.
(Door squeaks open) (Loud whoosh) (Elevator bell dings) (Yelling) (Grunts) (Panting) (Cell phone rings) Yeah? It's Mark.
You're still in the building? Get the hell out now! The next blackout-- I figured it out, Stan.
It's gonna be at 10:14 P.
M.
Pacific tonight.
Call the White House, EBS, NTSB, everyone.
This place is about to go in three minutes.
Move now! (Whispers) Make the call, Stan.
(Helicopter whirring) Assistant Director Stanford Wedeck.
Yes.
Put me through to the White House now.
(Woman) Credible information that another global blackout will hit in minutes.
Reporters speaking at once in foreign languages) (Rings, beep (Sighs) Mark! (Whispering) Livy, listen very carefully.
The next blackout's about to happen.
Take Charlie, get her somewhere safe.
It's gonna happen in about two minutes.
Tell her I love her.
I love you both.
Please be safe, Mark.
Good-bye, Livy.
"President Segovia has issued an evacuation order "in light of credible reports that another global blackout will hit.
" He's urging immediate steps to be taken to ensure public safety and is appealing for calm.
You might want to put that ring on.
You know what? I didn't see my future the last time around.
I'm not gonna miss it this time.
You want it? I've seen my future.
This is it right now.
(Gun cocks) What did you see? You might want to sit down for this one.
(Rapid beeping) Ready? (Loud rumbling, whooshing) Hang on! I am! (Helicopter whirring) Just hang on! (People speaking at once) (Band of Horses' "The funeral" playing) I'm coming up only to hold you under 'm coming up only to show you wrong ooh ooh really too late to call so we wait for morning to wake you it's all we got to know me as hardly golden is to know me all wrong, they were at every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral (whooshes) (Man) Charlie, what is it? You gotta tell me.
They found him.
(Gasps)
We're here, and I don't want to waste any more time.
I've been keeping a secret from you.
Keiko--she's in Los Angeles.
(Woman) Keiko Arahida.
Your mom has posted your bail.
This ring is a quantum entanglement device.
This little thing prevents people from blacking out? Hellinger wants to help you.
Who's Hellinger? Hellinger's our boss.
You're going to die, but your daughter's gonna be better off when you're gone.
(Grunts) They had me install a piece of software.
I can find out who made it and where it came from.
You get me into N.
L.

P.
I'll tell you who caused the blackout.
Janis, this guy has been lying to us about everything.
And now you want to take him to N.
L.
A.
P.
? How the hell do you trust this guy? Her heart has stopped beating.
She's gone.
No, no! You do the math.

Oh, wow, look! That one's shaped a star.

A.
It's all coming true for you.
Look, Bryce, I-I I just wanted to say that I'm sorry.
You know, she flew all the way across the Pacific Ocean just to meet you, and I I tried to keep you apart.
No, I'm sorry.
This whole thing is my fault.
I'm sorry.
I've been ignoring the truth, the feelings that I had.
I know it sounds crazy, but I love her.
This whole thing with her was meant to be.
I mean, I put these on this morning without a second thought.
It wasn't until half an hour ago that I realized this is what I was wearing in my flash-forward.
- I gotta go.
- Yeah.
You should go.
(Woman) All liquids, gels and aerosols must be in 3-ounce or smaller containers.
(Speaking foreign language) (Speaking Japanese) Uhh! (Speaking Japanese) (Speaking in Japanese) (Siren whoops) (Brakes squeal) (Helicopter whirring) (Mark) No, no, no, no, no.
Hear me out.
Wait.
Hear me out.
Whoever put those bombs in there is targeting something specific.
So we need to figure out what.
So help me, Mark, all the glorious choirs of heaven, if you step out of this car, I will have your head on a plate.
I'm gonna send over a driver.
Stay in the car.
(Man speaking indistinctly) You need a friend, so I tracked him down for you.
(Beep, phone ringing) Someone to keep you company while you wait.
(Ring) (Ring, beep) Hello? Aaron, it's Mark.
Listen, I'm okay, but I talked to Wedeck, and I need to know what's going on with you.
I don't know.
I just kind of lost it.
And then And then I started to drink.
You know Sometimes what happens in the world makes us forget it's all up to us.
We have choices-- you, me Tracy.
You choose what's next, and you'll wind up right where you're supposed to be.
Take care of yourself, Mark.
Okay.
(Man shouting indistinctly, siren wailing) Agent Benford.
Been celebrating? A little.
Had to get back to the office, though.
Loose ends.
There's nothing to see up there, Mark.
It's a fool's errand.
Last time I listened to you, I took my eyes off the prize.
Not gonna happen again.
I have to go.
Got a little errand to run.
I have a new goldfish named Sadie.
Can I see it? Come on.
It's upstairs.
I want cookies after.
Dylan, that's not how we ask.
(Olivia) It's okay.
Mi casa es su casa.
That means my house is your house, too.
It's my house, too.
Come on.
So So Uh, 9:33.
27 minutes till your epiphany.
Yeah.
Uh okay.
I think I'd better get to work.
All right.
So how--how does this work? We just take our positions at 10:00, wait for your breakthrough? Yeah, I think I'll keep my shirt on this time.
Okay.
(Whirring) (Beep) (Door whooshes) (Beep) What the hell? I don't know what happened.
Open this door.
I don't know what happened.
Wait, let me just-- now, Simon! I don't know what happened.
I knew you'd try to pull something, you sociopathic, lying son You're welcome.
Come on in.
Your friend asked you to trust me.
Janis wanted me to help you.
I do not trust you.
This is the last piece of leverage I have left.
And now you have it.
Let's get to work.
Shall we? (Helicopter whirring) (Man) Confirming devices on floors five, six and ten, over.
(Vogel) You got a det time? Affirmative.
36 minutes and counting.
Copy that.
What's the update? Bombs, Mark.
We've located them on at least five floors.
This is bigger than Hellinger.
Yeah.
He's just a link in the chain.
They're coming after Mosaic.
Are you about to do what I think you're about to do? Your chances of making it out of there are not good.
I need you to do something for me.
If they're coming after Mosaic, Lloyd Simcoe is not safe, either.
Now I've got this covered.
I'll secure Simcoe.
- You can find him at-- - Your house.
It's what I saw.
It's It's where I'm going, right? Right.
Lock it down.
You should know I also saw myself telling another Agent you were dead.
Lloyd Simcoe's key.
We need him alive.
Same goes for you.
I'll keep that in mind.
Mom, come here! My God.
He got into your lipstick and just started writing.
It's the formula in my flash-forward.
This is what I saw.
How is that possible? I always assumed I'd written it.
I guess Dylan must have memorized it this afternoon.
Is he in trouble? No.
Can we get cookies now? Sure.
Uh, Charlie, why don't you take Dylan downstairs and show him where they are? I will, but he already knows.
Come on, Dylan.
So what is this? What does it mean? This equation somehow links the Q.
E.
D.
, the blueprints and the flash-forward all together.
But it's a math problem, right? How would it possibly tie all those things together? It's the tachyon constant.
It's the greatest mystery in all of quantum physics.
And I have to solve it Right now.
(Man) Evacuate the entire building! Clear, blue team! Clear! (Woman) I've been waiting for you.
I'm really happy to see you.
Everything's gonna be okay.
That's what we saw, right? I haven't felt her move in three hours.
We're gonna get you an ultrasound.
Ready.
Okay.
He's where? He's in the building with the bombs where I left my car keys.
We've got 23 minutes until the building goes.
We've gotta get Benford.
The answers will come.
You sound so certain.
At 10:00 P.
M.
, the answers will come because they will.
It's not about equations.
It's not about the two of us just physically being here.
It's about this moment Right here.
I've fought it and resisted it, and yet here it is.
It happened.
The future happened.
All of it? (Gunfire) Somebody means business.
Yeah, you got that right.
You want up or down? Down.
Go for it.
I got you covered.
I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be.
I'm sorry.
You can't come in.
Please, please.
I'm--I'm supposed to meet a woman here.
I learned Japanese.
(Speaking Japanese) (Speaking Japanese) Private party Please-- ah! Keiko (Speaking Japanese) Thank you.
(Horns honking) Try a different street, please.
When I can get to one.
I mean, the traffic's nuts.
Okay.
I need to go.
Thank you.
(Horn honks) (Tires screech) (Cheering) (Man) All right, everybody.
It's almost 10:00.
Five more minutes till we catch up to our future! You installed the software.
Now you can't find the file? I'm just not seeing it yet.
Beer? Beer? (Door squeaks) Helps me cogitate.
You know, Janis is gonna be okay.
How do you know? She saw it in her flash-forward.
All righet's get going.
Someone could walk in here any second.
(Demetri) It's almost 10:00.
(Beep) (Typing) I'm supposed to send Lloyd a text.
What is that, math? (Beeps) It's an equation for a damped 1-dimensional wave.
It was Lloyd's e-mail signature for years (Beeps) A damped wave.
He used to call it his "tearful good-bye.
" That's cute.
Is that physics humor? Well, I'm supposed to send him something.
He saw it.
An inside joke for an inside joke.
(Beeping) (Beep) (Typing) (Man) Four, three, two, one! It's 10:00, everybody! (Cheering) (Water gurgling) (Cell phone chirps) It's the text from--from Simon.
A wave.
Good God.
I have to make a call.
(Ringing) (Scoffs) Yeah.
It's me.
Did you crack it? Look, the constant I've been looking for--it isn't a number.
It's a wave.
If I plug the wave into the blueprint equation, I get an interval which, if added to the previous blackout, tells us-- tells us what, Lloyd? As precisely as I can tell, the next blackout is sometime in April 2010-- which means it's in the next two days.
Mark? Mark? Are you still there? April? April? 2010? (Crowd shouting and cheering) (Panting) (People speaking Japanese) (Whimpering) (Beeps) The baby's fine.
Good heartbeat.
But it's a boy.
It's a boy? You disappointed? No.
Just surprised.
Future is like that.
Yeah.
(Gunfire) (Shell casings clatter) (Beeping) (Door whooshes open) (Gunfire) (Helicopter whirring) God, we're almost through this thing.
Finally go back to the way things used to be-- where the only stuff we see is what's right in front of us.
Welcome to the future.
Who did this? The rings are different.
They moved.
Gabriel.
Make it look right.
You make it look right.
(Whispering) Gabriel.
Gabriel.
Gabriel.
Gabriel.

10:14.
The blackout-- it's in 12 minutes.
(Elevator bell dings) (Elevator door opens) (Electronic whir) The command system won't let me access it.
What was it you said earlier? Now the only thing we can see is what's right in front of us? (Beep) Whoever did this may have copied the entire mainframe, created some kind of clone.
Wait.
So what you're looking at is a A fake, designed to prevent me from getting in.
They knew I'd be back.
Remember me? Now all I have to do is backdoor into my archived account, compare the system, compare the code I have no idea what you're talking about.
Bye-bye.
(Beeps) You got it? Downloading it for you now.
I don't know who you work for, Mr.
Hellinger, but whoever they are, they won't be very happy that you didn't prevent this Not at all.
(Beeping) Done.
Whatever you'll need to track the bastards is in here.
(Fireworks whistling in distance) Okay.
Hey.
Sweetie, go.
Go.
Go play with Dylan.
Mark Benford is dead.
He ran into the building.
Doesn't have a chance.
(Electronic whirring) (Cell phone rings) (Coughing) Okay.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Are you okay? Careful.
What happened? You went off the road into the lake.
I-I wasn't even sure you were with us.
Then I pulled you out of the car, and you started fighting me.
Hey, come on.
Hey, you must be freezing.
Here.
Okay.
There.
(Coughs) Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
In my flash-forward, I I saw myself saving you.
And all these months I thought maybe I failed.
(Chuckles) I'm, uh I'm really happy that I didn't.
You saw me? Yeah.
Okay.
An ambulance is on its way, okay? Hey.
My name's Ed.
Nicole.
(Beeping) What? (Groans) What is it? Someone's accessing the mainframe from outside.
What does that mean? It's a different command system originating off-site.
They have control.
(Typing on keyboard) (Automated female voice) Commencing activation sequence.
(Alarm blaring, rapid beeping, electronic whirring) (Gunfire) (Grunts) What have you done, Simon? Put your hands up!now! (Breathing heavily) You lying son of a bitch.
(Alarm blaring) (Fires) Hey, I didn't do this, Demetri, not then and certainly not now! I'm going to let them do this to me, Demetri.
I won't let them turn me into a monster, to use my machine, my mind.
Millions of people, Demetri-- millions of people don't deserve to die.
Know what? You want to stop me? You want to stop me from doing what I'm doing, which is trying to shut down this machine? Then you're going to have to shoot me.
(Door squeaks open) (Loud whoosh) (Elevator bell dings) (Yelling) (Grunts) (Panting) (Cell phone rings) Yeah? It's Mark.
You're still in the building? Get the hell out now! The next blackout-- I figured it out, Stan.
It's gonna be at 10:14 P.
M.
Pacific tonight.
Call the White House, EBS, NTSB, everyone.
This place is about to go in three minutes.
Move now! (Whispers) Make the call, Stan.
(Helicopter whirring) Assistant Director Stanford Wedeck.
Yes.
Put me through to the White House now.
(Woman) Credible information that another global blackout will hit in minutes.
Reporters speaking at once in foreign languages) (Rings, beep (Sighs) Mark! (Whispering) Livy, listen very carefully.
The next blackout's about to happen.
Take Charlie, get her somewhere safe.
It's gonna happen in about two minutes.
Tell her I love her.
I love you both.
Please be safe, Mark.
Good-bye, Livy.
"President Segovia has issued an evacuation order "in light of credible reports that another global blackout will hit.
" He's urging immediate steps to be taken to ensure public safety and is appealing for calm.
You might want to put that ring on.
You know what? I didn't see my future the last time around.
I'm not gonna miss it this time.
You want it? I've seen my future.
This is it right now.
(Gun cocks) What did you see? You might want to sit down for this one.
(Rapid beeping) Ready? (Loud rumbling, whooshing) Hang on! I am! (Helicopter whirring) Just hang on! (People speaking at once) (Band of Horses' "The funeral" playing) I'm coming up only to hold you under 'm coming up only to show you wrong ooh ooh really too late to call so we wait for morning to wake you it's all we got to know me as hardly golden is to know me all wrong, they were at every occasion I'll be ready for a funeral (whooshes) (Man) Charlie, what is it?

They found him.
