Serena and the Ratts
MAN:
Look, Leonard,I know how you feel.
Really, I do,
but this is very important.
She needs to get
back to work.
I know she isn't very strong,
but she can still kill a man
with her bare hands.
Don't you forget
who taught her that.
[ sighs ]
[ sighs ]
[ object scrapes ]
[ sighs ]
[ clicks ]
I'm here today
with Professor Houlden,
and he has something
very exciting
to share with us all.
It is a momentous day for
science and humankind alike.
Isn't that right,
Dr. Houlden?
Yes, that's correct.
Could you tell us why?
Well, my team
of scientists have
discovered a way to create
wormholes here on Earth.
Could you tell us
a little more about
these wormholes?
Yes, wormholes allow
matter to travel
from one point
in space to another
quicker than light
can travel the same path.
And this could be used
to foster time travel?
Well, theoretically yes,
but that would require
the manipulation and control
of the space-time continuum,
and right now,
we're not at that point.
That would take a lot more
research and controlling for--
[ music playing ]
[ gunshots ]
[ boy on TV laughs ]
Good morning.
[ sighs ]
How'd you sleep?
Pretty damn well.
Training will
do that to you.
I didn't
work you too hard
last night, did I?
You never do.
So, you must
be ready, then?
I'm always ready.
Come get
some breakfast.
Hi. Can I help you?
I'm here to see
Professor Houlden.
Are you
the research assistant?
Yeah. There was
an ad in the paper.
Take any one of those
elevators behind you
to the 12th floor,
room 63,
and I'll call
the professor
and let him know
you're on your way up.
All right. Thanks.
Are you going
to the 12th floor?
Yeah, I am.
You're not here
to see Professor
Houlden, are you?
I am, actually.
Are you coming?
[ elevator doors squeak ]
It's simple.
All you have to do
is ride the elevator
for a few minutes.
It's painless.
When you're done,
just come
right back here.
[ air hissing ]
[ knock on door ]
Good evening.
My name is Bill Mixon,
and I've come to spread
the good news.
[ speaking Slavic language ]
Have you considered
surrendering your
will to God?
Romek Tarlowski--
born in Warsaw,
moved to East London
at the age of five,
spent time
in Petersburg
as a thief.
I know
you speak English.
[ British accent ]
What do you want?
I have a job for you.
I'm on vacation.
Take a look
at this figure
and reconsider.
You'll be getting
a phone call
within 24 hours.
Bill!
Don't call me.
[ punk rock playing ]
C*nt.
Hey, hey
We're gonna bring
the spirit of punk rock
Buy a compact disc
without sticker shock
Come on out to shows
and dance
Let's unleash the lion,
take a stance
Can't we get along
without the fights...
[ telephone rings ]
[ ring ]
[ beeps ]
We are the voice
of the future...
Yeah.
Yeah, I feel fine.
We are the voice
of the future...
I'll feel better
when I'm dead.
Hey, hey...
Well, I've been living
on cigarettes and booze
and ramen
f***ing noodles.
[ chuckles ]
That's funny coming
from you, Snowman.
We gonna bring
the spirit of punk rock
Buy a compact disc...
Yeah, I'll be here.
[ beep ]
Come on out to shows
and dance
Let's unleash the lion...
[ song continues muffled ]
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
Whoa oh
We are the voice
of the future...
Where have you been?
Had a meeting
with the Boss.
Come on.
Hey, hey, hey
[ fading ]
Hey, hey, hey
Don't touch that.
Why not?
Because I'm cleaning it.
[ sighs ] So how'd it go
with the Boss-man?
Yeah, about that,
he wants us to do
another job for him.
That's too bad.
Yeah.
How's Serena doing?
She's doing good.
Uh, she's hanging
in there, you know?
Yeah,
she's a tough girl.
Has she been training?
No, no.
Not for a while, now.
You know, I haven't seen
you kids in some time.
Yeah, to be honest, Boss,
she's been better off.
Really?
You know, I seem
to remember the two
of you being, well,
you know, lost
when I first met you.
I didn't mean that she was--
You didn't mean?
You didn't mean what?
Look, Leonard,
I know how you feel,
really, I do,
but this is
very important.
I still need her.
She owes me this much.
You do, too.
She needs
to get back to work.
She needs to get
back to work,
and you need
to help her.
I know she
isn't very strong,
but she
can still kill a man
with her bare hands.
Don't you forget
who taught her that.
I never will.
The job is a group
of scientists,
physics experts,
et cetera.
We'll be calling 'em
The Black Coats.
Why The Black Coats?
Because they
have an affinity
for black peacoats,
and it's simple.
Just get started.
I'll call you
when I need you.
You don't
want to do this,
you don't have to.
No, let's just do it.
Why?
I need the money.
I owe him anyway.
You don't owe him
anything.
[ rock music plays ]
It's hard to believe
that there ain't any more
You're ash to ash
You're dust to dust
[ clatters ]
You want to know why
I live like
there's no future?
Wake up one day,
it'll all be gone
It's all gone
I live life
Like there's no future
Live like
there's no future
Tonight
Live life
Like there's no future
Live like
there's no future
Tonight
[ clatters ]
[ cans clatter ]
[ water running ]
[ water stops ]
[ telephone rings ]
[ ring ]
[ beeps ]
What?
[ sighs ]
[ sighs ]
"The RATTS"?
What the hell
does that mean?
Renegades Against
Time Travel.
Yeah, since when
do we need help?
Uh-huh.
When do we start?
Right. Let's get
down to business.
Right.
Here's the plan.
We're going to
send you back,
um, in time.
Right, time travel.
Here's how it works.
You open up a wormhole--
I'm not interested
in your faggoty mathematics!
I just want to know
if it's going to work.
And if it does work,
am I going to die?
And if I don't die,
how am I going
to make it back?
I can assure you
that it works.
We have tested
the process
several times.
You will not be hurt.
When you're done,
it will be
your responsibility
to open up
another wormhole
and proceed
through it
back here.
What insurance do I have
that I will make it back?
We are very serious
about our work.
We will pay you
half now...
and half
when you return.
So what's to stop me
from killing you right now
and taking all your money?
Mr. Tarlowski...
we control time.
There is nothing
you can do to me
that my associates
could not undo
and then do to you.
So who's the target?
MAN:
You've gotto be shitting me.
I sh*t you not.
Where did you
get this?
I swiped it
from Houlden's office.
This is unbelievable.
The Black Coats
want to go back in time
and assassinate him?
Do you have any idea
what might happen
if they get away
with this?
The scary thing is
I really don't.
No one does.
Where are you going?
Boss said I got
a meeting with a group,
call themselves
the RATTS.
Oh, uh,
did he tell you
what the job was?
Bunch of scientists.
