with one of the suspects.

This was my whole life

to two years.

What was I supposed

to do about sex?

Still in the room. FYI.

I feel so special.

This seems like company names.

Stock prices?

Sh*t.

Wait, dates.

What are the first dates?

June 13th, 2007.

2007. Okay,

what are the last dates?

August 20th... 2029.

Explains all the breakthroughs

he brought to the project.

Yeah, and I thought

he was just smart.

Now the only way a time machine

could be built...

is if someone from the future

in which one had been built,

uses it to come back

and build one.

Yeah.

What are you guys talking about?

Landau.

He's from the f***ing future.

It's like having a winning lottery

ticket every day for the next 15 years.

So, Landau went back to 2007

and started generating all

the cash to fund this.

All of this.

Then he had us build the precursor

to the machine that he uses in 2029.

Because otherwise, time travel

wouldn't exist in the future.

Therefore, he couldn't be here.

But why does he wanna kill us?

Well, he can't have anybody know

that time travel exists now.

He has to kill us.

You gotta admit,

it's pretty brilliant.

Yeah.

But now we gotta find him.

And kill him.

Before he kills us.

I think we'll find him.

This is like

time traveling via television.

Yep. Server farm.

This is so f***ing weird.

Yeah, we found him

'cause we saw we found him.

So...

let's go get him.

-All right.

-I'II, sit this one out.

A little wheelchair humor.

Okay.

Was it true?

What you said before?

Was it just about sex for you?

Seriously, Jim, you wanna have

this conversation now?

Hey, you need to tell me.

Hey, just tell me, okay.

You at least owe me that.

No. With you,

everything changed.

I lost sight of what I was

supposed to be doing.

This is my first assignment,

and I got lost in it with you.

Okay? That's the truth.

Now I know why I never

met your family.

Why your mom would call all

the time, but never come over.

That wasn't my mom.

That was my NSA contact,

my mentor.

She recruited me

out of my first year at MIT.

Trained me. Taught me everything I know.

And I lied to her, too.

-To the NSA.

-That's okay, then.

My mentor always said when you go undercover,

don't drink the cherry Kool-Aid.

And with you, I did.

I love your cherry Kool-Aid.

You know, all those phone calls you

were getting so paranoid about?

Yeah.

That was me just trying to plan

an anniversary party for us.

Sh*t.

Now, I kinda wish

you were cheating on me.

Actually, it was more like a...

anniversary-slash-holy crap,

we're just invented

time travel party.

Doc...

It's... not him.

Listen, it's not him.

Hey, I just

thought of something.

Is Gale even your real name?

Man. I don't even

know your real name?

-You tried to murder us.

-It's not me. I am not the killer.

Don't keep on doing that.

He's not the killer!

-He tried to kills us all Lewis.

-No, he didn't.

Look, look around, okay.

I know I'm not the killer.

It's not you. It's not Gale.

So that leaves him.

-Hey, hey, you okay?

-No. I'm not feeling so great.

Your nose is bleeding again.

I haven't felt right

since I got back.

No!

Who are you?

I know what you're thinking.

I found the knife.

The killer is in here.

It wasn't me.

Where are you going?

F*** no.

Guys...

Guys!

-Yep. Server farm.

-This is so f***ing weird.

Yeah, we found him

'cause we saw we found him.

I knew you were gonna say that.

That's exactly what's on the tape.

You know, we should find

something to tie him up.

-I'm on it.

-We can't change anything.

-It's not me.

-Shut up.

No, Gale, please.

It wasn't me.

It's... it's not him.

-Listen, it's not him.

-He killed Randy.

And the security guard.

He was gonna kill us all.

No, it's not me.

I followed the killer.

I found the knife

because he must've dropped it.

Stop lying!

Jim, kicking him

is not gonna help us.

This is not one

of your NSA deals, Gale.

-You're NSA?

-Yeah. Turns out.

All this time,

I thought it was you.

You're already my least favorite

person. Don't f***ing push it.

-Jim, just let me talk to him.

-He's not under arrest.

This is the a**hole that wanted

to f***ing kill us, Gale.

No, I'm not the killer.

Stop doing that!

He's not the killer.

He tried to kill us all, Lewis!

-No, he didn't!

-Yes, he did! Look around, okay.

I know that I'm not the killer.

It's not you. It's not Gale.

So it must be him.

You're so sure we're

the only ones down here.

-What if you're wrong?

-No, I am not wrong.

There is nobody else in here.

-I think there must be.

-There can't be.

He has a point.

If it's not one of us, what if

there's someone else down here?

The killer has gotta be Landau.

I keep on trying to tell you.

He's not the killer!

It's not me.

-Shut up! I saw him on the tape!

-What?

You know, the tape that's full of

everything that haven't happened yet?

-Yeah.

-I saw Mr. Landau running.

-He's not the killer!

-Thank you.

-How do you know?

-Because... I saw the killer, too.

So, who is it, Lewis?

I don't know.

-What?

-I couldn't see his face.

Great.

But it's not him.

I'll show you.

Gale, please go see

what he's talking about.

I'm gonna stay here

and watch this a**hole.

-Don't hurt him anymore.

-Don't do this, you mean?

No kicking. Got it.

You can keep kicking me.

But it's not gonna

make you right.

Yeah. But it makes me

feel better, so...

And by the way...

We found this.

-Okay, you're not gonna like seeing this.

-Okay.

Wait. Who's filming this?

Depressingly, me.

I... I think.

-Okay.

-I was the one who gave Jim the camera.

-Right.

-Okay.

See, the next part's a doozy.

So, there... that's Landau.

-Now tell me about 2029.

-The world is a f***ed up place.

What happened to your accent?

There is no accent.

I was born here.

In fact, this morning, I watched

my mother take me to school.

F*** all that sh*t.

Where did you get this disk?

The only thing I really know...

is the name Max Devlin.

Max Devlin, okay.

Who the hell is Max Devlin?

No one knows who he is.

All we know

is that he's like a ghost...

that haunts the

stock exchange.

And he's got more money

than you could ever imagine.

I can imagine a hell of a lot

right now. So, please.

He works through a network

of Wall Street traders.

No one knows

who they're working for.

All they know is that they make

trades and they win big every time.

-They never lose.

-Because of the disk.

That was his secret.

And I found it.

-How?

-I don't know.

All these clues, you know, they were

left for me like, like breadcrumbs.

Almost like

he wanted me to find him.

Don't get upset.

See, that's you

and that's the killer.

Come on.

Damn it. I can't see his face.

It's almost like he knows

the camera is there.

Those clues led me to a small

town in Arizona called Destiny.

I guess that was

Devlin's idea of a joke.

Okay. So what's the joke?

I discovered a top secret

facility underground.

-And there was a time machine.
