Displacement Page #6

---

...to navigate through

the displacement field.

You altered the timeline.

That photograph is proof.

[music playing]

Look outside.

Oh, my God.

[music playing]

Go to her.

[music playing]

Mom?

Mom!

- Mom.

- Cassie,...

...I thought you went back

up to the car.

Everything all right?

Yeah.

[music playing]

I miss you so much.

I miss you, too.

You know, even Einstein...

...took a break once in a while.

Yeah, I'm--

I've been so busy.

I'm sorry.

You don't like to hear this, but you

remind me so much of your father.

I always felt like a mistress...

...to his science spouse.

I won't let that be me, I promise.

No, no, I'm not complaining.

No. I wouldn't change

any of it.

He's doing important work.

As are you.

Don't ever forget that.

We all have to make sacrifices...

...to fulfill our destinies.

This destiny was mine.

Don't let anyone deny yours.

Ever.

Most especially yourself.

Hey, I was gonna wait on this, but...

...since we're both here.

Happy early graduation, sweetheart.

[music playing]

Open it.

[music playing]

(Carol)

I was told it was one-of-a-kind.

Very, very special.

For a very special girl.

[music playing]

Let's take a picture, okay?

[music playing]

Perfect.

You're so beautiful.

I'm gonna print and frame this.

I want you to keep it

near my urn when I'm gone.

Will you make sure and do that?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I just wish we had more time.

I know.

Me, too.

But remember, you'll

never have a future...

...if you cling too hard to the past.

[music playing]

Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

[music playing]

Enjoy your beach.

Okay.

I'll be up in a while.

Okay.

[music playing]

Dad?

[music playing]

(Deckard) It's you, Cassandra.

It's you that must be negated.

(Dr. Miles) Think of

the good you can do.

The wrongs you can right.

- (Josh) Cassie, no!

- (Cassie) Jesus, what the hell?

- What are you doing?

- I'm fixing it.

There's only one way this ends, Josh.

You don't know that.

You've changed things.

We've changed things.

No, it's over.

Give me the gun.

What the hell is wrong with you?

You wanted this.

Discoveries are meant...

...to be tested, remember?

Change history, see your mom.

- You were obsessed.

- I was wrong.

Okay, we all lose people, Josh,...

...but that doesn't

justify what I've done.

Okay, but we did it.

Don't you remember?

Right here, in this room,...

...the two of us.

Just because we could, Josh--

Jesus, you gonna quote Oppenheimer next?

- I am become Death--

- No, actually, Krishna.

I am become Time.

Destroyer of worlds.

Don't you understand?

This way, I could be with you.

That's what this is about?

I'm just protecting you.

I don't need your protection!

Cassie, Cassie!

Cassie, they thought

f***ing with your brain...

...was a good idea.

Implanting screen memories...

...to make you think you shot Brian.

Stealing your work!

I'm saving you from these clowns,...

...I've been saving you.

I don't need to be saved!

What the hell is going on here?

- Hey, what is he doing here?

- What? Put that down.

What is he doing here?

It's supposed to be Brian,...

...what is he doing here?

It's supposed to be Brian.

Dad, come on, dad, stop it.

- Dad, come on, dad, no.

- Give me the gun.

[gunshot]

(Cassie) No! No!

- No!

- (Josh) I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

(Cassie)

Dad, dad.

Daddy--

[groans]

Dad?

(Cassie sobs)

[coughs]

(Cassie) Daddy, come on.

We gotta get you help.

We gotta get you help.

- Let me see, let me see, please.

- No, no, no.

- Cassie, Cassie, no.

- Let me.. daddy, please.

Negation.

I came to warn you.

The place is here.

But--

It's not quite time.

[music playing]

Thank you.

[music playing]

Dad.

Daddy.

(Cassie sobs)

(Josh) Oh, sh*t.

Oh.

What happened?

Oh, God, oh, God.

You wanna save me?

Shoot me.

Do it.

Negation, Josh.

Reset the timeline, do it, shoot me.

This whole exercise...

...has brought me nothing but pain.

Everyone I care about

is gone. Shoot me!

(Josh) No, let's get outta here.

(Cassie) No.

I'm not going anywhere, Josh.

- No, no.

- (Josh) Let's get out of here.

I'm not going anywhere with you.

- Get out of my way, Josh!

- I know you need...

...to restore balance or

whatever Deckard...

...or Dr. Miles told you,...

...but if you close the loop,...

...you'll be lost forever.

Let me save you.

I don't want to be with you.

Then why did you bring me along?

You knew having me close could help you.

We're a perfect team, Cass.

We could--

We could be that way forever.

Can't you see?

I've loved you since we were kids.

I need you.

Negation's not the only answer.

We can.. we can figure out another way.

Pairs destroy themselves, Josh.

It's the only way.

What?

You're um--

You're bleeding.

[music playing]

[gunshots]

[music playing]

[groaning]

[phone beeping]

[phone vibrating]

[music playing]

[coughs]

[screams]

(Cassie) In my world, time is relative.

All right, put the video camera

over there.

Are you sure about this?

You're kind of rushing, you know.

Discoveries are meant

to be tested, Josh.

Or maybe--

You should leave the past in the past.

Put the video camera over there...

...and hit record.

Okay, guys, quantum inducer

is hard-wired directly...

...into the University's

pulse magnifier,...

...remote triggering software

is Wi-Fi'd directly...

...from this laptop into the lab.

Entanglement Laser is online,...

...negation point

computations entered,...

...and hypothermic protective bath...

...is prepared.

Ready to change history?

[music playing]

What?

Just deja vu or something.

You know, I think

I'm gonna run these by my dad.

Your father?

I thought you said--

It's just something doesn't seem right.

I know he's a jerk, but--

He's the smartest jerk that I know.

I can't keep blaming him for my mom.

Whoa, really?

What, where did...

Where did that come from?

Hey, did someone bodysnatch

the real Cassie?

'Cause I don't recognize this person.

Who--

Who are you?

Trust me.

[music playing]

Hey.

I just texted you.

I know--

Come on, let's get you checked out.

You doing okay?

Never better. Come on.
