Paradox Page #3

---

Hey, f*** you, man. You wanna

lose both your arms, too?

Hey, hey, hey,

relax, relax, relax,

he's not accusing you, okay.

No, actually, I kinda was.

Guys, guys, nobody but us

is down here.

So whoever the killer is...

it has to be one of us.

Sh*t.

Well, it isn't me.

I hardly know

you f***ing people.

Yeah, but you know

what we've built down here.

You know what it might be worth.

The only reason I'm down here is

because I was blowing bubbles.

Alright?

Okay, so who's Mr. Bubbles?

And who put him in charge?

You wanna a f***ing piece of me?

-Hey, hey, hey, stop it.

-We have a time machine.

-Stop it.

-We have a time machine.

None of this

has to happen, okay?

Somebody goes back.

And they warn us not to come.

So whoever the killer is...

he doesn't get

to kill anybody. Not today.

Yeah, that's good. I like that.

Yeah.

Yeah.

No.

We can't do that.

We'll cause a paradox.

Remember when Lewis said

all he wanted to do

was go back and stop himself

drunk driving that night?

Only reason I joined this

project in the first place.

-Remember what we told him?

-That he'd cause a temporal paradox.

Okay. Now try,

you know, f***ing English.

He'd go back to stop the

accident from happening.

And so, the accident

would've never have happened

and he would've

never have gone back.

And then, well, then he's

Schrdinger's cat.

Crippled and not crippled at the

same time. Except not that.

Is that the best you can do?

Look, this stuff is really

f***ing hard. Okay.

So what happens

if we make a para-thingy?

You're not listening.

-We can't.

-Why not?

Let me put this into words

you'll understand.

F*** you, man.

But yeah, okay, do that.

It's fate.

You can't fight fate.

We don't have a choice.

If we don't...

we're all dead.

So I say screw fate.

Let's not die.

Yeah. That sounds like a plan.

I'm getting something.

I think I'm getting something

from SM card from the camera.

It's just ridiculous.

Yeah, he's a f***ing a**hole

and I can't believe he's just...

throwing him in like that.

Yeah, sorry,

it's kinda in and out.

Can we fast forward

or something?

You know, we don't need to see

stuff that already happened.

-Let's get to the future part.

-Dude, I'm trying.

The camera is f***ed up.

No, what he is, is the most

talented computer engineer at MIT.

Jim's not one of us.

He never was.

It's, it's true.

And he's a bit of dick.

-Sorry, it was just peer pressure really.

-Yeah.

...underground.

What's down there?

How?

They say the kids

are underground.

-We gotta get down there.

-There's no power to the elevator.

So find someone to fix it. Now.

He's not the most liked member

or valuable member of this team.

So therefore, he's expendable.

-Okay. That's nice.

-I was exaggerating.

Hey, go forward

to the next part.

I'm doing my best, okay.

MIT.

What he is, is a f***ing

scholarship kid.

He's there to fill a quota.

I f***ing hate that guy.

Dude, he just got

his head chopped off.

No. Technically, he didn't.

Not yet.

F***. Now my head hurts.

Tell me about it.

I think

you're bleeding again.

I haven't felt right

since I got back.

Something's wrong.

Look, do you

have to film everything?

According to

the future me, yeah.

We never even talked about

what we were gonna

do with the machine.

All we cared about

was can we build it.

We all fixated on the could

and never considered the should.

And less than an hour from now,

we're dead.

Look, it hasn't happened yet.

Which means it doesn't

have to happen, okay?

We can't change anything.

-We can't.

-Enough. This is not helping.

According to Jim, the elevator

comes back online, right?

Yeah. From what I saw.

All right. Well, I'm gonna go

check to see if it already has.

Sh*t. Double sh*t.

Now he's actually out there

and he started killing people.

-Sh*t. That sounds bad.

-Yeah, that sounds bad.

-What sounds bad?

-Something I said.

Or will say.

Will you stop watching it?

We're just

torturing ourselves, man.

Hey, can we just shut up

about paradoxes and fate

and can we just send someone

back to save us, please?

Guys, you should see this.

What are we doing?

Sh*t. Sh*t, that's me.

-You're dead.

-Randy.

Or you will be.

So now what do you think about

all the unchangeable fate stuff?

Send me back. F*** that.

Send me back.

F***.

Okay... Remember the phone

and the security office

will still be connected.

Okay?

It's not gonna work, you know.

If it did, we wouldn't be here.

You have to try.

You got this.

Randy, I never thought

I would say this.

Call me.

Damn it!

-I'm gonna go ahead.

-Okay.

Freeze! You're under arrest!

Let him go!

F***.

-Let me see...

-Are you a f***ing cop?

-Are you?

-What's going on?

The killer was just here.

-You're sure?

-I'm pretty f***ing sure.

I hear you guys

have a power problem.

Let me take a look-see.

Sh*t cakes.

Bunch of circuits got fried up.

-It's gonna take a while.

-That's not gonna work for me.

We've got one of ours

down there.

We've gotta get down there now.

I'm gonna have to dress that.

-So what happened?

-You know, meet my girlfriend, the super cop.

I'm not a cop.

I'm an NSA agent.

And I'm sorry, okay?

-Wait. What?

-She's a f***ing spy.

Literally.

Don't say it like that.

How do you want me to say it?

-Are we gonna get arrested?

-Ask her.

Are we gonna get arrested?

You know,

we got bigger problems.

Yeah. Sh*t.

Double sh*t.

He's actually out there. And he

started killing people now.

I'm guessing you woulda mentioned it by now,

but you didn't happen to see who it was?

No one else has come down here.

So it has to be one of us.

Where's Landau?

I can't believe it's Mr. Landau.

I guess you can't

trust anybody these days.

Really, Jim?

You know, do you have to

film everything?

According to

the future me, yeah.

I can't believe

I actually end up saying that.

What?

Noth... nothing.

He said he'd be here.

F*** it.

Let's go check his locker.

-This thing?

-Perfect.

Boys smell terrible.

What is that smell?

I don't know.

Randy noticed it this morning.

-Yes!

-I got his briefcase.

Brilliant.

I think it's coming from there.

Whoo... Yes, it is.

It's like

he's staring at us.

God, I can't, I can't look.

Poor Randy.

So that means when he was smelling

that bad smell this morning...

he was smelling himself.

What's taking this guy so long?

How's it going?

That answer your question?

He's gonna keep

working on it.

You okay?

I know you liked him.

Look, you can stop with the whole

girlfriend act. Okay, your cover's blown.

We should see what's on that.

I still can't believe it. The NSA

paying you to have sex with me.

It's not like that, all right?

You don't...

What about that crazy night

we had in Catalina?

Hey, you guys.

You know,

that whole safe word thing.

Guys, guys, I'm in the room.

Okay, none of that

was part of the job.

Look, it was

my first assignment. I...

Okay, so you just jump in bed
