The Millhurst Express...

Ain't run for nearly three decades now.

What?

The Poughkeepsie Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Look out!

Your attention please.

Your safety is our first priority.

Please remain calm.

Thanks for coming.

Hey, I'm tired and...

I'm so sorry, Sarah.

I'm so sorry.

Hey. Hey.

Are you okay?

What's really going on?

I... I know what this looks like.

I get it.

How long have you been doing this?

Just a couple of days.

Well... since the day at JFK, really.

It was like I saw the sky cracking open.

I saw right through it.

Now look at this.

His name's Jake Redmond, right?

He was a killer. He was...

- I see.

- And this is Evelyn mills.

She was a singer.

And they died at grand central

30 years ago tomorrow,

the day you and I were born.

We're them.

- No.

- Look at this. Look at this.

Look. Look.

I wrote these letters to you.

And you...

Wrote these to me.

A lifetime ago.

Look. Look at this.

Look at them.

It's all happening again.

- No, I...

- I know. I don't understand.

- I...

- I don't... I don't...

I don't... I don't want

to know what is in them.

Your patterns...

These letters...

They don't mean anything.

They mean everything.

You've gotta understand...

No, you need to understand.

It is grand central.

I could go there any time of

day and find these people

if that's what I was looking for.

All these patterns

that you think exist...

They're just people.

No.

You live in a city of 8 million.

Of course they're going to

be doing similar things.

You hear that?

Dog barking.

Telephone ringing.

Airplane. Baby crying.

Car horn.

Car horn.

It is New York City and

it is all happening.

It is all happening, all of the time.

Please don't do this.

Please.

When I'm with you I feel

something so special.

Just stop it.

Don't you get it?

She dies. He kills her.

This is us.

We die tomorrow, Sarah.

We need to end this now for your own good.

No.

We can not see each other again.

- Don't do this to us.

- Go!

Please go.

Can I help you?

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

I've missed you.

Can I help you with that?

Yeah?

Hey, it's me.

I need to know why grand central.

You both have this connection.

It's a coincidence.

He doesn't believe in that.

Or therapy, apparently.

Sarah, this has to stop.

You can't keep doing this to us.

To yourself. It's...

It's destructive.

I'm going to take you away for a few days.

You saw the way he looked at me.

He wanted to kill me.

He is out of control, Sarah.

You're not safe here.

I mean it.

I love him.

I love him so much.

I don't know what it is, we

just have this connection.

Constellations.

A map of the heavens.

Electromagnetic shifts

in the earth's atmosphere.

Einstein's theory of relativity...

Happy birthday.

Scientists believe

the electromagnetic field around the earth

is being affected by the supernova

from the dying star, Hamil.

So more and more we're able to confirm

just how alive and effectible

our world truly is.

Even an exploding star 30 light years away

causes our planet to adjust and react

as its light actually reaches us.

Science is starting to...

What am I missing?

What appears to be a star dying to us now

actually happened 30 years ago.

So when we look into the distant night sky

we are not just seeing the

reaches of the universe,

we are quite literally

looking back in time itself.

Back in time.

Can I help you with that?

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

I've missed you.

I'm seeing the day I die.

- Hey.

- Hey.

You good?

Yeah.

JFK, please.

A woman laughs.

Can I help you with that?

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Bell.

Follow the bell.

Door slams.

Hey.

A couple of days in Millhurst

will do you wonders.

Sarah.

No.

Jonas.

You're Noah marks.

Just don't answer it.

Sarah, where are you?

Just pick up the phone.

Sh*t.

What?

Our flight's been cancelled.

Change of plan. We're

going to grand central.

Siren.

2:
15. Jackhammer.

Alright, swinging it back.

Gonna get the tickets.

Meet you at the clock.

Okay.

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Car horn.

Hey! What's your problem?

Sir!

Sir, get down off the vehicle!

Sarah, where are you?

I know what the patterns are.

I'm seeing the day we die.

Two tickets to Millhurst please.

What?

Millhurst.

30 years ago maybe.

Poughkeepsie will get you there.

That'll be $52.

Poughkeepsie.

Hands behind your back, Sir.

Okay.

2:
17. Glass shatters.

Why you jumping on the car?

Sir, just stop right there.

Put your hands behind your back...

- People are gonna die, man!

- Nobody's gonna die, Sir.

Give me the hands.

Come on!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Right, drop the weapon!

Okay, okay.

That's it. Lower it to the ground.

- I'm warning you.

- Alright.

- Put the weapon down.

- Letting it go.

Three.

Two.

One.

Heads down! Get out of the way!

There we go.

Two tickets to Poughkeepsie.

I thought you said we

were going to Millhurst.

What are you talking about?

You ready?

I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, hey. Wait, what's wrong?

- Take your hands off me.

- What?

Stay away from me.

Stop!

You love me, Evelyn.

You just called me Evelyn.

But you love me.

I don't.

- Say it.

- No.

Say it!

- Tell me you love me!

- No.

Sarah!

You brought him here?

You brought him here?

A businessman.

A businessman.

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

A couple hugs.

I missed you.

There's always a row of schoolchildren.

And a pregnant woman...

Standing under the clock.

Get out of here!

She'll never be yours.

No!

Oh, god! Oh, god!

No!

Put the weapon down!

Freeze! Drop your weapon now!

The Millhurst Express

is now boarding on track 32.

The Poughkeepsie Express

is now boarding on track 32.

Boom.

No!

No! No!

No.

A star shines brightest

right before it dies.

God.

The sun's coming out for us.

- I want more of you.

- You want more of me?

All these years, history

said Jake was a murderer,

when in fact he was framed by

the cops to protect their own.

And in the end, only love

could reveal the truth.

"My dear Jake,

I just got your letter

and I can't stop smiling from ear to ear.

I don't understand why I'm feeling...

the way I am so quickly.

I just never believed a love

like this was possible. "

Hi.

It's 2:
23.

We made it.

So as expected,

the dying star Hamlin

did finally disappear.

But somewhere, somehow

another star was born right after.

Dad's predictions all those

years ago did finally play out.

He was right when he said

in everyone's life there comes a time

or, in my case, many times...

When the universe opens

itself for just a few moments

to show us what's truly possible.

11:
15.

No plane.
