In Time Page #5

I think you deserve a fighting chance.

We play to zero.

What's the point?

I lose, I die. I win, they kill me.

If you don't fight, I'll kill you now.

And her?

After I take you,

I'll take her.

Oh, yeah. And her time.

Then I'll collect my reward

for making everything right in the world.

This way!

All the time he's taken.

Don't you mean the time

he's given away, sir?

Even to you?

I have given 50 years of

my life to this job.

I am not about to see

those years go to waste.

Goon.

I'm sorry to be the one

to break this to you,

but by tomorrow

you won't have time to stand around.

God damn it.

It's over.

We lost. We're not doing any good.

At least we're trying.

No. You don't understand. All they have to

do is keep raising the cost of living.

A hundred years. Two. A thousand.

It does nothing.

So, what? We just stop fighting?

We can't win. We can't hurt them.

The time we're taking

makes no damn difference!

What would? What would hurt them?

A million years.

You got a million years on you?

I guess it really would

take a million years.

Let's give up.

Stop!

I am Sylvia Weis.

I want to surrender,

but only to my father.

Sylvia.

Hello, Daddy.

Stay where you are!

You've hired more guards

since I last saw you.

Thanks to you, I need them.

One too many.

Guns down.

Now!

Do it.

Let's go for a ride.

You'd steal from your own father.

Is it stealing if it's already stolen?

What's the combination?

Well, it's not my birthday.

You've started to regret that day,

I imagine, Father.

Try 12-2-18-09.

Darwin's birthday.

Survival of the fittest.

It cost us centuries

just to bribe our way in here.

Let's see what it got us.

Quality time.

There really is a man

with a million years.

That's my first million.

It won't be my last.

You know how much good it could do?

I know how much harm it could do.

Try to understand,

even if you gave a year to a million people,

you're just prolonging their agony.

You're prolonging their lives.

Flooding the wrong Zone with a million

years, it could cripple the system.

Let's hope so.

We're not meant to live like this.

We're not meant to live forever.

Although I do wonder, Father,

if you've ever lived a day in your life.

Is that so? You might upset

the balance for a generation.

Two.

But don't fool yourself.

In the end, nothing will change.

Because everyone wants to live forever.

They all think they have

a chance at immortality

even though all the evidence is against it.

They all think they will be the exception.

But the truth is,

for a few to be immortal, many must die.

No one should be immortal

if even one person has to die.

What was that?

What was that? What just happened?

It must be a mistake. A million years

just went off the clock in New Greenwich.

It's not a mistake.

It's gotta be a mistake, sir.

It's not a mistake.

It's them.

Take a month, Maurice.

Dispatch, what can you see?

There's a lot of traffic

in the vicinity, sir.

All right, look for the slowest car.

You have a million years.

You are definitely not in a hurry.

If this works...

If this works, we gotta get more.

Dayton's not the only zone that

can use a few extra years.

And wire me my per diem.

Wait. Never mind.

I have him.

Give the order, shoot on sight.

In New Greenwich?

That's against policy, sir.

So is having a million years leave the Zone.

That time cannot leave the Zone!

Shoot on sight!

Please deposit

one month. Please deposit one month.

Keep going! Keep going!

We're close!

We're okay! We're okay!

You're late.

Need a minute?

Go. Go.

Where's our capsule?

Too late.

Lost a lot of time, Mr. Leon.

Looks like you're about out yourself.

- Time!

- There's time!

Move!

Move!

You, get out! Get out!

We gotta get to Livingston.

We can make it.

Can we?

You okay?

Stop!

You can run.

So can you.

You're from here, aren't you?

Long time ago.

Yeah.

I worked out how to escape.

And now you make sure no one else does.

That's the way it has to be.

I didn't start the clock.

I can't turn it back.

I keep it running.

I keep time.

"I keep time. "

I'm gonna need some of that time

you borrowed from me.

Unless you want us to die

on the way to our execution.

Time.

We don't have enough.

One of us can make it. Take mine.

You take mine. You can get there, I can't!

I can't get there. You can.

- No. No.

- Yes!

Please.

No.

There's time.

- What?

- The Keeper's time. Run. Run!

Run!

I need time.

Time transfer.

What have we got?

A day.

Could do a lot in a day.

Sir, do something.

It's already done.

These are

live pictures from Dayton.

Citizens have taken to the streets.

There's so much stolen time in circulation.

Fa stories in Dayton lie idle.

And now, citizens are crossing Zones,

seen here entering New Greenwich.

While authorities claim

they have the situation

under control, others fear the system

may be headed for collapse.

We will continue to update you

on this developing story.

Sir, we lost Zone Eight.

And Ten.

It's spreading.

What do we do, sir?

Go home.

Still no sign of

fugitives Will Salas and Sylvia Weis.

Authorities continue to ask

for the public '5 help

in bringing these criminals to justice.

Told you there were bigger banks.

You almost missed your calling.
