[ Man ] Whoa ! Whoa !
- [ Whinnies ] - Whoa !
Whoa.
- Easy. - Mornin'.
Mornin'. Y'all mind steppin' aside ?
- You know what l think ? - No, sir, l don't.
l think you got yourselves a shipment of gold in that wagon...
that you're bringin' to General Lee.
- Just who might you be ? - A friend of the Confederacy.
Why don't y'all show us what a good friend you are by steppin' aside ?
l'd be most happy to, 'cept first...
l'd be much obliged if you'd give me that gold.
- [ Laughing, Horse Whinnies ] - l don't think l heard you correct.
l think you did. l'd like that gold now.
Listen, mister, it ain't very nice out here, as you can see.
There are five of us.
lf you don't step aside now, l'd just as soon kill you as not.
You wanna die out here in this miserable weather, that's your choice.
l'm gonna ask you one more time.
Would you please give me the gold ?
[ Horse Whinnies ]
[ Grunting, Screaming ]
[ Whinnying ]
Good afternoon, senators.
The president is very grateful for your time here.
Believe me, this is a matter of the utmost importance.
l cannot stress too much the utmost secrecy.
Why don't youjust cut out the shit, George ?
You're here to ask the committee for money, so come out and ask for it.
Thanks for the advice. l am gonna ask you for money.
Guess what else ? You're gonna give it to me.
You all remember Dr. Hans Kleindast,
the Nobel Laureate who helped us during the space program ?
For 20 years, he's been keeping his face off of Time magazine doing research.
His field of research has been time travel.
- Time travel. - Time travel.
- Well, beam me up, Scotty. - That's very funny, Senator.
- Wanna know what's funnier than that ? - He's gonna tell us.
The funny thing is... the good doctor actually did it.
l thought that'd get your attention.
He did it. The technology is in the folders in front of you.
You won't understand it any better than l can.
Now, you can't go forward, because the future hasn't happened yet.
However, you can go back, and that's where things get tricky.
lf you go back and change something, it's serious. lt could be catastrophic.
lt's like throwing a stone in a lake,
only now there are ripples in time.
So you can't go back and kill Hitler, much as we'd like to,
because it could cause a chain reaction of events...
that could alter or even destroy mankind.
And that, my good senators, is where you come in.
We have to form a new agency to police this technology and protect time.
lt will be called the Time Enforcement Commission or the T.E.C.
Eugene Matuzak of the Washington P.D. is our choice to run the commission.
- How much is this gonna cost ? - A lot.
- How much is a lot ? - More than a little and less than too much.
This is not a good time to ask for money. The economy--
Suppose one of our competitors goes back in time and invents the computer ?
Or the airplane or the automobile ?
You wanna talk about the American economy, Senator ?
How about this one ? Saddam Hussein finances a trip to 1944.
He gets our technology, lraq becomes the first country to have the atomic bomb.
- Oh, you like that one. - Not bad.
Try this one. We think there's already been a ripple.
Ten days ago, the C.l.A. broke up an arms sale to middle-east terrorists...
in Hamburg, Germany.
Ordinarily, that sort of news doesn't cross the president's desk.
What made this different was that the purchase was made with gold bullion,
and the bullion was dated 1863 and stamped ''Confederate States of America.''
We had it carbon-tested and authenticated. lt's real.
Now, just think about what l'm saying.
Going back in time is a pretty easy way to make money.
Our committee would have exclusive jurisdiction over this program ?
Yours and yours alone. No one can know about this. lt's too dangerous.
[ Chuckles ] That's very good, George.
[ Strikes Match ] Personally...
l think this sounds like that bullshit Star Wars program.
You'll get your money. Anyone here want to chair the oversight on this program ?
Yeah, l'll do it.
[ Chairman ] Ah, young Senator McComb.
Why not ? Oh, you'll like him, George.
Very much like you, except his dorsal fin's a bit bigger.

[ Chuckling ] You didn't answer my question.
- Are you gonna take this job ? - l think so.

- Not the way you think. - [ Shutter Clicks ]

Aw, you're gonna be very happy you have this.
Why ?
[ Chuckles ] l can see into the future.
- You can see the future, huh ? - Mm-hmm.
- What do you see ? - l see it's gonna rain.
We both have the afternoon off.
Why don't we go and practice some of those words you seem to like so much ?
Max ?
Hmm ? What ?
- l have something l want to tell you. - [ Phone Rings ]
Shit. l'm sorry.
Don't answer it. Just this once, don't answer it.
- [ Rings ] - l have to.

Now ?
Oh, Jesus Christ. Can you find somebody else ?
[ Strikes Match ]
Look, uh, somebody called in sick and--
And there's nobody but Max Walker...
- to keep the streets safe. - l said l was sorry.
- lt's not like l have a choice. - Of course you have a choice.
- This is what l do. - l know that's what you do.
lt's just that things are different now.
What are you talking about ?

l want two teams on this date. Let's smoke these guys.
- Right. - Number two: Los Angeles, 1902.
Somebody's trying to get ajump on real-estate, buying up Beverly Hills.
- Burr and Swain got the deal. - Yes, sir.
You look like shit.
- We have to talk. - ln a minute.
- Now. - l said in a minute.
[ Computer Voice ] Temporary wave guide shutdown in three minutes.
Shit. Go over your dispatch notes and check with me before you launch.
- Good afternoon, gentlemen. - George. Welcome.
Gene. Senator Nelson, this is T.E.C. Director Matuzak.
Senator Nelson is the newest member of the oversight committee.
Since he's gonna be voting on your budget, he'd like to see how it's spent.
Senator McComb, our long-standing committee chairman,
agreed to take time out from his presidential campaign to accompany us.
Senator.
Well. Be a pleasure to show you around.
[ Nelson ] Are these all of your agents ?
Most of 'em. Agent Monroe. Agent Anderson.
Agents Burr, Bartolo and Shepherd.
- Agent Walker. - Agent Walker.
l've heard a great deal about you.
- And l've heard a lot about you. - Not all of it bad, l hope.
Agent Walkerjust returned from a successful mission.
Well, congratulations, Agent Walker.
Senator, now Director Matuzak will show you the launch room.
Follow me. l'll show you where we kick off.
You wouldn't mind if Agent Walker accompanied us ?
l'd love to hear about his most recent mission.
- l have a report to file. - Agent Walker would be delighted.
[ Man On P.A. ] All units switch to TEC channel three.
All units switch to TEC channel three.
As you can see, we've spared every expense.
No comfort, no convenience, no necessities. Watch your head.
So, Agent Walker, who were you after ?
A man named Atwood. Ring a bell ?
Atwood. No. Should that name be familiar to me ?
- Unfortunately, Atwood was a TEC agent. - Really ?
See, George, l don't want to sound like a broken record,
but that's one of the dangers of having an agency like this.
- lmagine the dangers of not having it. - Did you know this Atwood ?
He was my partner.
Oh, l'm sorry. Nothing worse than a rogue cop.
- Except the guy who paid him. - lf there is such a guy.
- There always is. - Do you know who the man is ?
- Oh, yeah. - Why don't you arrest him ?
- l lost my witness. - Oh.
Well, l trust you'll keep working on it.
You can bet on it.
[ Man On P.A. ] Hydrogen specialists, prepare for inspection.
We've updated our entire operation to Parker Datalink Systems,
utilizing their superconducting chip.
Senator McComb was Jack Parker's partner...
and sold out before the company got the patent on that chip.
- Bet that cost you a few billion. - Whoa, bad luck.
My deal with Jack Parker is not important, Mr. Spota.
What is important is talking about the dangers of this program.
- You got my vote. - Excuse me. What dangers ?
Well, dishonest agents like this, uh, Atwood.
Every time an agent goes back, he risks making contact with the past version of himself.
- That could be a disaster. - And why is that ?
The same matter can't occupy the same space at the same time.
lt's never happened.
Not yet, but what l propose is far less costly, yet accomplishes the same thing.
Why don't wejust prevent time travel...
rather than spend money trying to police it ?
l have to get back to the Hill.
Malcolm, this is a project that we could do without.
l hope you vote against continued appropriations.
l admire your dedication, Agent Walker.
-l hope you keep trying to get your man. -l never quit.
We've done a breakdown of the latest poll results.
While the trends are not what we want,
there are some good things we can utilize.
The numbers in the suburbs are encouraging,
but they are killing you in the urban centers.
But you're gaining with the pro-life, pro-death-penalty coalition...
and with the close-our-border, anti-immigration faction.
The bad news is the campaign chairman put together a projected budget...
from now to Election Day, and it's a big number.
Even going back again, l don't see how you could get it all in time.
Lawrence, l love you. l really do.
But don't tell me what l can't do.
Elections are won with television.
You don't need the press, endorsements. You don't even need the truth.
You need money.
So... tell me.
How much is it gonna cost to buy the network time l need ?
- $50 million. - $50 million.
Agent Walker has already cost me that much.
We're gonna chat with him, the kind of chat a man remembers for a lifetime.
Sure is a handsome devil, isn't he ?
- He's not my type. - What did you want to talk about ?
What do you know about him ?
Capable of eating his young.
He sure seemed interested in you this afternoon.
He interests me.
Atwood named him.
- You're shittin' me. - He's the one who sent him back.
- Why didn't he testify ? - McComb would go after his family.
He also said McComb has half of the agency. l believe him.
He doesn't have me.
l said, he doesn't have me.
- Well, fuck you too. - He's gonna close the agency.
Then no one can stop him from going back.
- This one is mine. - Not unless l say it is.
The son of a bitch is a presidential candidate.
lf you haul him in, you better have enough evidence to plug up the Potomac.
- You believe me. - l always believe you...
but you're not always right.
Yeah.
Come over to the house for dinner.
Carol would love to see you.
Thanks. Some other time.
You're allowed to have a life. l read it in a manual.
l'll tell you this: lf l cannot go back to save her,
this scumbag is not going back to steal money.
Go home, Max.
lf you won't come to mine, go to yours.
By the way, when l said McComb hasn't bought me,
you were supposed to say, ''l know that.''

[ Female News Anchor ] The controversy...
over government-provided campaign funds is in the news again.
The White Supremacist Party has qualified for matching funds,
sparking many groups to petition for the abolition of the practice.
Meanwhile, Senator McComb's fading presidential bid received another blow,
when today it was denied federal campaign matching funds.
Sources indicate the senator is out of money...
and may be forced to withdraw from the race.
Though no official statement has been made,
independent party leaders claim that the denial will bolster their play...
for the upcoming presidential election.

You're taking the goddamn company into bankruptcy.
We have a difference of opinion.

Agent Walker, l wanna see how you get down here and keep the gun on us.
What are you gonna do ? You gonnajump ?
That's how the Vollmers would do it.
Move back.
Give me the envelope.
Thank you.
The country's going down the drain because of the special interests.
We need someone rich in the White House who doesn't have to listen to anybody.
- [ Fielding ] What's that ? - The senator was having a fund-raiser.
[ McComb ] When l'm in office, it's gonna be like the '80s.
Top 10 will get richer, the rest can emigrate to Mexico, live a better life.
So, you goin' or stayin' ?
l think you plan too far ahead.
[ Fielding ] Obviously, you don't.
Anything else you want to tell me about yourself ?
Don't tell anyone l killed ya. l'm out on bail.
Okay, let's finish up and get out of here.
He's running for president. l'm voting early.
- Good seeing you again, Jack. - [ Gunshot ]
Maybe he'll calm down after the election.
What's the big deal ?
Point it, pull the trigger...
and, boom, somebody dies.

[ Chattering Continues ]
- What the hell's going on here ? - You're lucky you got back.
They're gettin' ready to tear up these tracks.
- McComb ? - Who else ?
- He hasn't got the power. - Are you kiddin' ?
He's ahead in the polls. He's probably out buying running shoes for his team.
Senate committee caved in. They want to be on the good side of the new boss.
What's the matter ? lt's been headed this way for months.
When l left, nothing had happened.
[ Ricky ] Hey, Walker, when they tear up the launcher, you get the pod as a memento.
He's changed the future.
What are you talking about ?
McComb. He's buying the presidency.
What's new ? lt's been done before.
- The guy is a killer. - Doesn't surprise me.
- He killed my agency. - He shot two people.
- Who ? - Who ? A guy named Parker and Fielding.
- Do l know them ? - Fielding was with me.
- You sent her. - l don't like this guy one little bit,
butjust who can l sell this story to without 50 eyewitnesses ?
- How about one ? - You don't count.
There's a chance she's still alive.
- Who ? - Fielding. The cops were there.
l'm gonna be looking for a new governmentjob.
l don't think it will help my chances...
if l'm the guy that tried to put our next president injail.
- You think l'm making this up ? - Forget it ! You're not going back !
lf she's alive, we've got him.
You understand that ? We've got the guy.
We're shut down. Take a look around. We're history.
Wait, l'm gonna show you something.
- You come with me. - [ Typing ]
Those files are supposed to be sealed. l don't know why l'm doing this.
You say you were my best friend ?
- For a long time. - l liked you ?
- Oh, yeah. - What are you looking for ?
[ Walker ] Fielding's friends or family; anyone she would go to in 1994.
- Who was she ? - l.A., but she had a deal with McComb.
He's got to go back to be sure she's dead.
- [ Typing ] - Since you say we were close friends,
l'm gonna ask you a question the prison psychiatrist will ask you.
How's our leading presidential candidate...
making these expeditions into the past without our equipment, old pal ?
The prototype was never dismantled.
Kleindast's. lt's in Calverton, Maryland.
Short drive from Washington.
We have no authority to get in there.
What about Ricky ?
lf you were my best friend, you wouldn't do this to me.
[ McComb ] l would have had him killed right here, but if he's back,
he's already told the story to Matuzak. God knows who else.
They won't get it, but they'll sure give it thought if he comes up dead.
- Right. - He'll have to be erased.
-Erased. -Have him killed before hejoined T.E.C.
That way nobody in the Agency ever talked to him or even knew him.
- Perfect. - lt's not perfect, it's all we've got.
Don't expect to be my chief of staff if slamming you into the side of the car...
turns you into a sniveling worm.
[ Ricky ] Well, what do you know ?
At random intervals, Maryland Utilities shows spikes in demand and duration...
- that are almost identical to ours. - Send me back.
- No, they won't let us do that. - Stay out of it, Ricky.
Would it be too much trouble to call me Richard ?
Richard, do l have a best friend around here ?
lt isn't me. Maybe Gordon.
Gordon is a putz. l can tell you who my best friend was...
in school, in the marines, when l was a cop.
Gordon doesn't fit. l'm not saying you do...
but since l'd like to see McComb take a fall, you get the benefit of the doubt.
- Whoa ! Where you goin' ? - We've got to vent the fuel shunts.
Oh, is that right ? You'll have to wait while l get authori--

Mmm. That would be my pleasure.
- lt could be dangerous. - l know that.
lt's not that simple. McComb has made some changes.
- You were never in the T.E.C. - No, that can't be.
l had the training for six years.
- l have friends. - l've got to move fast.
lf l can find you, so can he.
