Releasing valves.
Prepare to load M.R.D.
Radioactivity meters online,
ready for exposure.
Docking hatch open and clear.
M.R.D. removed from containment.
Preparing to load.
Hold full exposure duration
at no more than ten seconds.
Nine, eight...

M.R.D. in place.
Close hatch.
Turn handle left 45 degrees.
Lock it at high noon
to engage sequence.
Left 45, then right.
Left... right.
You just caused
a thermonuclear explosion,
wiped out the whole city.
Sorry, Jim.
I promise I'll get it right
on the day.
This is the day, Matty.
You want us to switch?
No, there's no time for him
to learn the meters.
I'll never understand
how you're able to solve
the most complex
mathematical equations,
but you can't tell
left from right.
It's a form of dyscalculia.
The parietal lobes
of my cerebral cortex...
Okay.
We have time for one more practice
run at this. Reset everything.
We've been at this
for 72 hours straight.
Only two more till we go live.
I'll get you some more coffee.
Coffee, amphetamines,
more coffee.
You're gonna kill yourself.
We are precious moments
from a topological anomaly.
Is that what I should tell
everyone at your funeral?
No.
You signed
a confidentiality agreement.
Jim Beale, project log.
Part one of the experiment.
Tentative results.
Opening a traversable wormhole
in the space-time continuum,
first ever recorded.
This tear that I will create
in the fabric of the universe
is powered by M.R.D.
Extremely volatile,
radioactive substance,
so, of course,
all precautions will be taken.
Possible dangers range
from manageable radiation leak to...
well, the universe
collapsing onto itself.
It's now 47 minutes until we initiate
the first part of the sequence...
opening one end of the wormhole.
Okay. He should be here.
I'm gonna give him
the Big Bang speech.
Oh, Jim, give him the fireworks.
That's what he's here for.
Now, once opened, we should detect
a unique sequence
of particles sent through
from the other side,
a sequence so unique
that we will know that we
sent them to ourselves.
And I will have
proof of the findings
to show our venture capitalist,
Klaus Meisner.
And he will then provide
the necessary M.R.D.
for us to open the other end.
Let's see what I'm paying for.
Then we will send this unique
sequence of particles
back through to ourselves,
thereby proving that the project
is a success.
The Big Bang.
We have proven theories...
This isn't my ideal situation.
To have an investor be this kind
of major factor in an experiment.
But I only have enough M.R.D.
to open one end.
We are about to embark on a journey
- that's going to take...
- Enough of the physics lesson.
Get on with the light show.
an experiment in certainty.
I'm certain it will work.
Balance metric pressure at 057.
Metric pressure

Releasing valves.
Docking hatch open and clear.
Prepare to load M.R.D.
M.R.D. removed from containment.
Hold full exposure no longer
than ten seconds.
Nine, eight...
seven, six...
five, four...

M.R.D. in place.
Close hatch.
Turn handle left 45 degrees.
Lock it at high noon.
Engage sequence.
Here we go.
Jim. Jim.
We thought you were having a seizure.
- Did it work?
- Kept you from biting your tongue.
- No, the machine.
- The magnetic core melted.
- The regulator's blown.
- Where's Klaus?
He left when you were unconscious.
You can only burn a candle
at both ends for so long.
You should go home
and get some sleep.
I sold my home to pay you and Matty.
Maybe it was sabotage.
- Right.
- No, I'm serious.
Maybe it was visitors from the future
who came back to destroy our project
because it eventually leads
to some distant apocalypse.
It's a distinct possibility.
Guys.
Look what I found.
It's an exotic hybrid
of the dahlia genus.
There. Right there. That black speck.
Could be a missing pixel.
- It's moving.
- Yeah. There it goes.
There.
- I think that was Matty.
- No, no, I saw someone.
I saw it before I blacked out.
It looked like a person. Not Matty.
They went out the front.
Where did you just come from?
How did you do that?
- What?
- That.
How did you get here?
In a car. How did you get here?
You didn't just walk
through a wormhole?
You're making me feel like I did.
I just met you.
Then why are you acting
like you know me?
I don't.
You left before you could see.
It was a success.
Didn't appear
that way to me, Mr. Beale.
If you just come back
into the lab.
You've wasted my money.
Now you're wasting my time.
I can prove to you that it worked.
Look, I'm already late
for a previous engagement.
We made history tonight. I'm sure
whoever it is will understand.
"Whoever it is" is my wife.
She's already at the restaurant,
and I assure you,
she will not understand.
Why don't you
and your little friend join us
and we can discuss this over dinner?
We just met.
- Another time, then.
- No. no, no, no.
We would love to join you and your
wife for dinner, wouldn't we?
- Abby.
- Abby.
Abby.
What's going on, Jim?
Start running preliminary tests
on the flower.
I'm gonna go to dinner
with the Meisners and Abby.
Okay.
Who's Abby?
What we've done is folded
on top of itself
by forming a tunnel, a shortcut
between one location in space-time
to another light-years away.
But in order to traverse a wormhole,
you have to have two openings.
What we did tonight
was open one end of it.
Where's the other end?
We have to do it again to find out.
I'm not sure I follow.
The way it works is,
you need a transmitter
and a receiver.
Now, like a telephone...
but you can't complete a call
without another phone involved.
We already have the receiver.
We got the call.
How much?
It's not capital I'm asking for.
No, for the whole project.
The research, the formulas,
the machine, everything. How much?
It's not for sale.
Then what do you want, Mr. Beale?
- Another unit of M.R.D.
- And for that I get what, 10%?
We're talking about
dangerous radioisotopes,
enriched uranium, yellowcake,
the sort of thing
countries go to war over.
Not anymore, once we have the ability
to answer the fundamental
questions of the universe.
But how will we make money
on our investment?
With all due respect,
we're not talking about
hover cars and x-ray goggles.
of human evolution.
Pardon my pedestrian
viewpoint, Mr. Beale,
but how do you plan to market that?
Pardon my pedestrian viewpoint
for a moment, Ms. Meisner.
Do you know
who pioneered electricity?
Of course.
Thomas Edison.
I thought so, too.
Until I stumbled upon a book
about Nikola Tesla.
You see, Tesla was working
towards a way
to get everyone
on the planet safe, free,
limitless electricity,
