I haven"t seen in a Iong time.

Sit down.

The food is actuaIIy pretty good here.

Give me one good

reason not to kiII you right now.

Good.

Gonna try and get inside my head?

Go ahead.

See if you can push me

before I puII the trigger.

Wow! Ten years is a Iong time

to hoId a grudge.

My father wouId disagree.

- You piece of sh*t.

- Your father I had respect for.

He took a stand with great integrity,

which is more than anyone

can say about you.

- If this is your attempt at...

- Think I don"t know this future?

Huh?

I"ve got twenty of the best watchers

in the worId...

tracking every moment

of this time right now.

You die, Nick.

You aII die.

You know who doesn"t?

- Me.

- You sure about that?

Okay.

Kira is our patient zero.

And with her we"re going to create

an army the worId"s

- never seen before...

- I"m sorry. Am I supposed to care?

Fine. F*** patriotism.

The girI wiII die unIess she receives

the necessary injections.

And you"re not going to find

it anywhere but with me.

Maybe you care about that.

TeII me something, Nick.

Her bIood turn bIack yet?

No? Insides running out?

Or is she keeping that

away from you, too?

I"II take that as a yes.

You aIready know

the ending to this story.

You can onIy draw it so many ways.

We"re going to change it.

You don"t beIieve that, do you?

PIease...

don"t make me do anything to myseIf.

Hurting you wouId change the future.

And I Iike how this future goes.

So wiII kiIIing him.

Victor!

I think I just saved your Iife.

There"s no need to thank me.

You shouId just start Iistening to me.

You Iook Iike sh*t.

- Where is she?

- 5-A.

- Is she safe?

- Yeah.

She"s sick, though. Pretty bad.

I need to ask you a question.

What"s in the case?

It"s a drug.

Some sort of psychic steroid

that boosts our abiIities...

but kiIIs us.

They want me back

because I"m the onIy one...

who survived the injection.

TeII me why I just drew a picture

of me hoIding her shoe.

Is she okay?

What? No.

You"ve got to be kidding me.

- She"s dying.

- You are not bringing me into this.

You"re aIready in it.

We need to know

what this key unIocks.

PIease.

Cassie,

how much do the Chinese know?

Whatever we do. It couId be more.

Their watcher is better than me.

We know there"s a suitcase

with a Division drug in it.

Kira hid it somewhere in Hong Kong.

Can you draw us a way out of this?

We can"t change anything

with that b*tch tracking us.

The second we do,

she"s gonna see it.

- What do you mean?

- She sees intentions.

What we decide to do.

I decide to cross the street,

so she sees me crossing the street.

What if nothing we did made sense?

Or we just kept changing our mind,

we didn"t know exactIy

what we were gonna do?

WouId that throw her off?

It might, but we stiII have

to find the case.

Whatever this key unIocks

is being shadowed.

Like I"ve never seen before.

It"s this way.

That reaIIy narrows it down.

If it"s shadowed,

I won"t be abIe to draw.

There"s a buiIding missing.

I thought shadows weren"t supposed

to be effective against

watchers Iike Cassie.

They"re not.

We"re not supposed to be abIe

to shade entire buiIdings either.

You wanted to see me?

I"m going to need your heIp.

Watchers from everywhere

are tracking us.

Carver... the Chinese...

Anything we think we"re gonna do,

they know about it.

That"s why we aII keep dying

in Cassie"s book.

- Pardon?

- You die outside an eIevator.

Oh.

How are we gonna make

the future unpredictabIe?

By not knowing what we"re gonna do

untiI right before we do it.

- Like a pIan without pIanning.

- Yes. Right.

Okay!

I"II write Ietters to each of you

giving you specific instruction.

You don"t open them untiI I teII you.

Then the Iast Ietter,

I write to myseIf...

and wipe the memory

of ever having written them.

That"s why I need you to find

the guy that wiped Kira.

- Sure thing.

- That sounds Iike a great pIan.

- Do you have a better one?

- We"re fIying bIind.

Yeah.

Cassie...

I need one more drawing out of you.

I need to know the exact size

and shape of that case.

And that syringe.

Our watchers say it is aIready here.

Father...

I know what Division is Iooking for...

It"s a syringe.

with this drug we"II be more powerfuI

than Division.

The girI wiII die unIess she receives

the necessary injections.

You"re not going to find the stuff

anywhere but with me.

You die, Nick.

You aII die.

You need the medicine

that Carver has.

I"m not gonna watch you die.

I"II come back for you.

I promise.

When do I open it?

When you start to doubt the truth.

- You know when to open these.

- You sure this is right?

No.

Nick?

Take an umbreIIa.

It"s gonna rain.

You be carefuI, too.

You make us chase

you haIfway across the worId...

then you Iet a hack

Iike Pinky Stein bring you in?

- I"m sick.

- You"re sick?

You don"t know what you are.

Victor, pay the man.

Of course.

I knew I wouIdn"t get paid yet.

Wait here.

Were you foIIowed?

I"m never foIIowed.

Where is this guy?

- Which one?

- The yeIIow one.

- The big one?

- Yep.

Wo Chiang?

You are here about the girI?

You"re the one that wiped Kira?

an American girI wouId come.

That was two days ago,

Kira showed.

I have a job for you.

Two hours ago,

I wrote seven Ietters.

I need you to erase the memory

of ever having written them.

Seven Ietters,

two hours of memory.

The woman teII me those things.

She did not pay for you, too.

And when you"re done,

I need you to open this and read it.

- I need a minute.

- As you wish.

I"m not gonna wake up

and forget who I am, am I?

Wait, wait. No, just... go.

It"s aII gone.

The future has... disappeared.

I Iost the connection.

HaIt. Identification?

Safety inspector...

I need to know where the security Iockers are.

CertainIy, sir. Go up the eIevator...

to the top fIoor.

- Up this way?

- Yes, sir.

No probIem.

The job is over.

You don"t have to shadow

the buiIding anymore.

The girI sent me...

""4,100""

Thank you.

You ready?

Right size, right shape.

No probIem.

Better hurry. Won"t Iast Iong.

Crap.

The Lord giveth.

Did you reaIIy think

you couId sIip out of town with this?

TeII me, was this worth dying for?

No. He dies sIowIy.

Your sister promised me that

and a great deaI of money.

Do you know how many peopIe

in the worId wouId kiII for this drug?

Now...

Where is Cassie?

Get me back on my feet.

Perhaps the Pop famiIy

can"t be reIied upon.

Didn"t see that one coming,

did you?

Do you reaIIy want to do this,

IittIe girI?

I know where the drug is.

More importantIy,

I know how you die.

Do you want to know

what the tiger means?

The drug is here.

See if that wiII make him Iove you.

My note says I"m supposed

to teII you...

the Division has Kira.

It said a Iot on there.

Was everyone"s that compIicated?

I knew you couId handIe it.

This immuno-suppressant

wiII save your Iife

and aIIow you

to reach your fuII potentiaI.

You"re going to be a better you, Kira.
