Did you miss me?

Regg? How... how...

how did you get here?

Um, in my car, like normal.

I'm feeling much better,

thanks for asking.

Hey, how come you haven't

been answering your phone?

I've called you, like, 20 times.

Did Matt confiscate

your phone again?

Why aren't you wearing

your uniform?

I like it.

What? Regg!

Okay.

I almost... I almost got it

working last night.

- What?

- I tried a few tests.

I couldn't get the petawatts

to stabilize, but I'm so close.

Wait! What?

You have one of these

machines at your house?

Yeah, like we discussed.

You gotta take me there.

My place?

Sorry about the mess inside.

It's been a crazy week.

Tell me about it.

So, this is what you wanted

to talk to me about.

- You've been busy.

- It's all here.

Just a few teething

problems though.

What are you doing?

Do you have a screwdriver?

Why?

Cause I know how

to make it work.

Right, that's...

should do it.

This is exciting.

Yeah.

What? We're testing now?

Yeah.

Are you crazy?

Possibly.

I need you to push the slider

to 350 petawatts.

Whoa! We could blow

the entire grid!

You've heard of tegmark's

theory of parallel worlds?

- Yeah.

- I've proven it.

What?

You've done this before?

Yes.

Well, I'm coming with you.

350 petawatts.

It's a parallel world.

Yeah.

Oh, it feels like

a really bad hangover.

Yeah.

Oh, this is amazing.

Trust me, you'll get used to it.

- We need a car, regg.

- Where are we going?

I've gotta get to my place.

Come on.

What are you doing?

Seizing my initiative.

What?

Oh, my god.

- I need you to stay here.

- Sure.

- What's that for?

- It's just a precaution.

When you're looking

at petawatts, at petawattage,

you've gotta be really clear about how

much power... the logistics of it...

you just stick

to writing your books, honey.

- Okay? I'm done with you.

- -I'm very sorry.

We're very, very close.

We've mixed up in a couple of

verbals, it's not quite there yet,

but we are so close,

i just know it,

I can feel it in my bones.

Regg is nearly there.

- What happened?

- We're in the wrong world.

What?

Go!

You changed the parameters?

Yeah, yeah, i...

well, I think we're good to go.

This is kind of exhilarating.

Listen, regg...

There's something i...

i have to tell you.

Your Jane is dead.

My Jane?

What?

I'm from a different

world to yours.

What do you mean dead?

How?

I think it was Matt.

I think he's killed her.

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Police, open up!

He's got my kids.

I have to get home.

- Regg, I have to go, i...

- just go. Go now!

- I'll wait for you.

- No, I'm staying here.

- What? Here?

- Just go!

What the hell is this?

Surprise.

Yes?

Hello.

Who is this?

Jane asked me to call you.

- I'm her new assistant.

- What happened to regg?

You won't be seeing him again.

What do you want exactly?

She wants me

to pick up the kids.

Are they with you?

No, probably at Ruth's.

Do you want the number?

Actually, i need the address.

Oh, god.

Oh, regg.

Oh, god.

Ruth!

Anybody home?

Jake, Ruth?

Ruth?

Samantha?

- This is Ruth.

- Oh, god, Ruth!

- Jane?

- Thank god.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah, listen are the kids with you?

Yes, we're heading

to your home now.

Jane?

Listen, I've gotta go.

Just wait for me there, okay?

You okay?

Just wait for me there.

Jane!

Ruth?

Samantha?

Jane!

Samantha!

Open the door!

- Mom?

- -Oh, god.

Mom, are you okay?

What's going on?

I thought I'd lost

you, too. Oh, Samantha.

Jane, what's going on?

Lock the door.

He's gone crazy.

- We have to hide.

- What? From who?

I don't have time to explain.

You have to trust me.

We have to hide.

Anyone there?

How the hell did you get back?

I saw what you did to her.

She was the one

having the affair.

That's no justification.

It was to me.

Oh!

Oh!

Holy sh*t.

What do we do now?

I'm coming back for you, b*tch.

Where's he going, mom?

A long, long way away from us.

Ah.

Ooh! We better get going.

We'll be late.

Yeah.

Have a great day, guys.

- Be good.

- Always, mom.

- Bye.

- Yeah, right.

And, bye.

Are we meeting later for coffee?

Sounds great.

- At the lab?

- Yes.

Something terrible's happened.

You're in the wrong world.
