Synchronicity Page #2

and he would have,

except Edison did everything

in his power

to discredit him

and crush his reputation.

Mm.

Edison's company developed a patent

for an inefficient current

you had to pay for.

Tesla wanted to better the world.

And Edison forced us all

to have a monthly power bill

because he was envious

of a profound idea.

Now, I don't have a horse

in this race,

but I would put my money on Jim,

because he's Tesla,

and Edison was a dick.

I'll supply you with the M.R.D.

But I want to own half the machine.

Can't do that.

Well, you see, my company

is in the enviable position

of being the sole

manufacturer of M.R.D.

So, best of luck.

Forty-nine percent.

And money for the repairs.

You have a week.

I won't sleep till it's complete.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You want to share a cab?

Was I playing the beard tonight?

Why do you ask?

Well, either you came

to the lab with Klaus

or you got there

through the wormhole.

I did arrive with Klaus.

But I'm leaving with you.

That kiss could've cost me

millions of dollars.

Would it have been worth it?

I'd have to do more research,

eliminate the variables.

Mm.

This is me.

You sure he won't mind?

He went home...

with his wife.

Drinks?

Black coffee for me.

KMC 0-14.

You like my dahlia?

Yeah. Where did you get it?

Sorry. I have to take this.

Chuck, what do you got?

What are you doing?

Uh, talking to you.

What time do you have

exactly to the second?

9:
45:22, 23.

Come on, get on with it.

When did you and I first meet?

- What is this?

- Just tell me. It's important.

Uh, ten years ago at that karaoke bar

with the weird name. What's going on?

So, we've known each other

a long time.

- We trust each other?

- Yeah.

Stay away from that girl.

She's no good for you.

What?

Just don't tell her

or anyone else about the experiment.

We're onto something

much bigger than we imagined.

What are you doing here, Jim?

I went to the lab.

You guys were gone.

You should go back.

We'll meet you there.

No, no, no, you called. You said

something... We were onto something.

And what was this stuff about Abby?

My head is killing me.

See?

I told you, you need to stop popping

those pills and get some sleep.

What did you mean earlier

when you were talking about Abby?

Let me get you some pills.

Chuck. Chuck, I figured it out.

It makes sense.

I finally see it now.

F***ing intense.

Matty, stop.

You're giving Jim a headache.

This isn't a headache. This is

a lightning storm between my temples.

Just tell me,

what did you mean earlier

when you were talking about...

How long was I out?

Huh? Oh, Jim, you're awake.

Um, you were unconscious

for approximately 8.5 hours.

Why didn't you wake me?

Your biological imperative requires

a minimum amount of dormancy per day

in order to properly function.

But you should lie back down

in case of another...

I just needed some sleep.

I got plenty.

Where'd you get that jacket?

Haven't you considered

the correlation

between your episodes

and the arrival of KMC 0-14?

KMC 0...

The serial number of the dahlia.

We have to wait for Chuck

to get back.

You and Chuck meet me at the lab.

We have another wormhole to open.

We have to wait for Chuck.

Hey, did you forget your keys?

Is this the residence of Abby Ross?

She's not here.

This is Jim Beale.

I'm a friend of hers.

Hey, sleepyhead, looking for me?

Is there a man in your place?

I guess you buzzed

my neighbor by accident.

I need to see your flower.

Wow, classy. I am a lady.

You can at least buy me

breakfast first.

Do they even serve breakfast here?

Two morning specials, Mike.

Your dahlia, where did you get it?

It was a gift.

Exotic plants like that are hard to

come by. It's an expensive present.

Ahh.

It was from someone who

gave me everything I wanted

except a minute of his time.

Well, time is our only real currency.

Hm.

Meeting you was the most

important part of my experiment.

Is that a fact?

Hm. No, it's not a fact.

I, uh, only meant to say

that your dahlia,

that may be important to my research.

Mm-hmm.

Hit me again, Mike.

Or maybe not, I don't know.

Right now it's just a theory.

So, what's all this fuss

about my dahlia?

How do I know I can really trust you?

The truth will set you free.

The ID number matches the one

that came through the wormhole.

But that's probably

just a coincidence.

You people don't believe

in coincidences.

Sure we do. Yeah.

Einstein himself said that they're

God's way of remaining anonymous.

So, your machine working

was total happenstance.

No. No, that was me. I did it.

I'm the one that came up

with the idea that made it work.

And what was that?

The rotation of the Earth.

The biggest obstacle

in opening a wormhole

is creating enough energy.

Not unlike

the tremendous amount of energy

that an entire planet makes

as it spins on its axis.

The power is there.

I didn't have to generate it.

I just thought of a way

to utilize it.

Kind of like us.

I mean, the energy's there.

We just got to think

of a way to use it.

Jim?

Are you okay?

Chuck.

You found me.

Technology's come a long way.

Not being found is hard.

I think we sent this to ourselves.

Chuck...

you were right about the girl.

...five, four...

three, two...

Jim. Jim, Jim.

The pressure dropped below 029.

We have to abort.

All right, abort.

It's that damn bracket again.

We're gonna have

to reconfigure the output.

It might take a while to recalibrate.

Why don't you take a break?

- I like your lighter.

- Take it, it's yours.

Needs fuel. Hand me those matches.

So, my flower's really the same one

that came through your wormhole?

I'd have to run some tests

to know for sure.

What's my finder's fee?

What?

Okay, fine.

I'll settle for one butterfly kiss.

It's a match, Jim.

Identical DNA match.

KMC 0-14, you're the first

organism to time-travel.

Yes, but in

a parallel-universe scenario,

we have to consider

that the Klaus Meisner Corporation

- may not have...

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- What did you just say?

- Parallel universe?

- We have to...

- No, no.

Klaus Meisner Corporation.

KMC 0-14.

Klaus Meisner Corporation 0-14.

They license exotic plants

and flowers for domestic use.

We have to take into account

the very distinct possibility

that these two plants

when they traversed...

Jim Beale.

I have Klaus Meisner for you.

Yeah, put him through.

Mr. Beale, you have

the dahlia in your possession.

Yes. Did she tell you that?

I want you in my office

to go over the contracts.

What's going on here?

You're about to get f***ed.

Logic.

Rationale. Dignity.

All seem to disappear

with the scent of that perfume.

Good reason, common sense,

they just go by the wayside

'cause of the way her hair

breaks across her forehead

and frames her eyes.

The total reckless abandon

that you have absolutely

no control over, Mr. Beale.

Have a seat.

I prefer to stand

when I'm getting it from behind.

You watch your tone.
