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 ]

[ 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.

[ eerie music playing ]

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 ]

You gotta be kidding me.

[ 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 got

to 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.
