You see this?

- Saved?

- Yeah, yeah. Look.

Look. 1974, Chicago chemical spill.

That driver never made it to work

in the morning.

Now, 324 lives saved.

Look, look. What's next? What's next?

Right, well we have... We have 1991,

April 3rd, Hamburg, Germany.

1,861 lives saved.

The Hardshaw Weapons Factory Heist, 1968.

You know, the terrorists never came in the

building because I blew it the f*** up.

3,027 lives I saved.

Do you keep count of all the civilians

you killed as well?

Your next attack will kill 10,000 more.

You're disappointed in me, right?

I remember that, I do.

But when the dust settles

I think you'll see that

we did the right thing.

I will never become you.

No, I'm curious.

Did you report

that your decommissioned Field Kit

didn't decommission?

Right?

Some people say that it's fate.

But you and I,

we know

some things are predestined.

I made you who you are.

You made me who I am.

It's a paradox, right?

But it can't be paradoctored.

Right?

I had so much fun at preempting you, I did.

And now you're free and you found me

and we can be together.

I'll never become you.

Don't say that.

Don't say that.

We're just puppets.

We are Robertson.

He set the whole thing up.

He played us for fools.

He's laying out the dominoes.

You know, we're just watching it fall.

I will never become you

and I will not let you kill those people.

Wait, wait, wait.

What, you're gonna live a regular life

with that b*tch, Alice,

from the antique store?

She has a stupid cat,

she has a disgusting birthmark

on her left hip.

She's a lousy f***ing cook.

Okay, trust me.

She can't handle our secrets.

She can't, trust me.

She's not right for us.

You have no idea what is right for me.

Okay, okay, okay, all

we have is each other.

It is all we've ever had.

Now if you shoot me

you'll become me.

You get it?

That's how it happens.

If you want to break the chain

you have to not kill me

but try to love me, again.

What if I put him in front of you,

the man who ruined your life...

Forget all that.

We can have a future together.

Would you kill him

to save thousands?

You wanna know what

we're gonna do tomorrow?

No.

Here you are

at the beginning of your new life.

It can be overwhelming

knowing the future you're about to create.

Knowing the purpose of that life.

You know who she is.

And you understand who you are.

And now maybe you're ready

to understand who I am.

You see I love her, too.

You'll have to make tough choices.

You'll influence the past.

Can we change our futures?

I don't know.

The only thing that I know for sure

is that you are the best thing

that's ever happened to me.

I miss you dreadfully.
