Another time wave is coming! Hang on!
Is everyone all right?
Lucas, make sure everyone's okay.
Give me your hand.
Let's see if the backup generator works.
The power is out all over the city.
Power's probably out all over the world.
Why couldn't I get back?
You weren't able to jump through the time wave.
Remember, I explained it's like a ripple in a pond.
We can't break through the rings.
We seem to be stuck ahead of the changes that are occurring.
What do we do? Jesus Christ, what do we do?
Let me work on it.
This is not a time for panic.
Actually, as times for panic go, this is right up there.
What we need to do is take a look at the jump and find out what was changed.
That was nothing. I was standing right there.
That's a safety feature.
They're all tied to Travis's gun, won't fire until he fires first.
Why the hell not?
To keep clients from shooting things they shouldn't.
Derris, how about we don't mention this in our report?
No harm, no foul.
Appreciate it.
Go forward.
Let's see that.
Over here! Try and get me!
Get out of here!
Get behind the bushes!
We're not going alone!
Get behind the bushes! Over here!
Can we follow them down the path?
Once they're out of range of my recorder, there's no way to see them.
Speed up again to after the kill.
Travis, the volcano!
We better get going.
Follow me.
Anybody see anything?
Anything small that may have fallen off one of us?
Nothing.
Boys and girls, I think I found something.
You're not gonna believe this,
but, according to the physical log,
when we came back we weighed 1.3 grams more than when we left.
What does that mean?
It means we brought something back.
No, it's impossible. There's the bio-filter.
No organic matter can pass through the...
We never needed it. We've always been so careful.
You turned it off?
You turned the bio-filter off?
It takes a lot of energy. It costs a fortune and we never needed it.
My God. Are you insane?
Did you know about this?
Of course not.
Why does this not surprise me?
We need to find out what you brought back.
Did you get through?
Line's busy. It'll be Forrest on with one of his pals.
Donna will be freaking out, all her yard work down the drain.
Do you buy it for a minute?
The great asshole-in-the-sky
doesn't check the bio-filter once?
Nothing gets by that freak.
"Two years and I'll be out." That's what he told me.
Got a little touchy when I asked him how he'll retire on a government salary.
You think Hatton paid him off?
It would be worth it... all the money he saved on running that filter.
Clean. That's the last one.
It's gotta be on the clothes on one of the clients.
Somebody must have panicked and stepped off the path.
The sweaty guy.
Eckles.
I have an idea to get you back. It's never been tried, but it might work.
We can't break through the rings, but I should be able to open a wormhole
on the other side of the ripples.
Instead of 65 million years, you go back 65 million and one.
- It would be like jumping over the rings. - And then what? Travis waits for them?
Back here, the change hasn't happened yet,
so there are no time waves.
I should be able to slingshot you forward to the target zone.
- You "should"? You're not sure? - I'm fairly certain.
But don't intercept the party to turn them back.
Why not?
The slingshot effect will use up all your energy.
Your window will be small and highly unstable.
You won't have time to explain what you're doing, let alone convince them.
How much time will I have?
I can't say for certain. 15, 20 seconds.
Can you say anything for certain?
Yes, I can say for certain I can't say anything for certain.
Let's find out what we're trying to prevent, because you won't have time.
We better talk to Mr. Eckles.
It'll have to be in person.
Nothing.
Dead.
Where are the guards?
What's that?
My God.
You're all loaded. Designators are off. You can shoot at will.
- Who told you to distribute weapons? - I did.
Just one thing. Plants like this
- haven't grown in millions of years. - We're shooting at plants?
It isn't exactly like it was then. It's stronger, more developed.
The alternate reality taking over outside that door
has been evolving uninterrupted for 60 million years.
Are you suggesting that there are dinosaurs out there?
I doubt it. More likely, whatever they've evolved into.
That's one hell of a "just one thing".
This building is still under government control. I can't leave TAMI unattended.
Of course not.
We all set? Let's go.
Eckles lives on the other side of the park.
Wouldn't it be quicker going around? Sticking to the streets?
- What streets? - Good point.
Guys?
That thing was huge.
Let's keep moving.
Trav, you better take a look.
They're all over.
Big mothers, judging by the depth. Couple hundred pounds.
These aren't classic reptilian.
There are other markings. A little bit of primate mixed in. I don't know.
That's not good.
It means we're not more than a couple of waves away from being changed ourselves.
I suggest we get the hell out of here.
Let's go.
What do you think? Do we go around?
What was that?
I have got to get home.
Lucas!
Get them out!
Get these thorns out of him.
Calm down!
- Travis? - Hold your fire!
Whatever's out there has been tracking us since we entered the park!
Man, it hurts.
Come on, Marcus. Try slowing your pulse rate down.
It'll slow the progress of what those brambles put into your bloodstream.
Whatever those thorns put in my bloodstream,
it's already working.
I can't feel my legs.
Watch out for these!
Man, I'm losing it.
Everything's...
getting really weird.
Take care of him.
Come on. You okay?
Get up, let's go!
Head for the bridge now! Go!
Aim for their throats!
It's their only soft spot! Aim for their throats!
Go!
Go on, I'll hold them off.
I'm not gonna leave you. Let's go.
Travis, those thorns.
I can't make it.
I can't and you know it. And I know it.
Just set things right, and I'll be fine.
See?
Just set things right.
I'll fix it.
Go!
- What about Payne? - I said go!
Why is he staying there?
- Payne! - Marcus!
- Payne, come on! - Now go!
Forrest?
Look, Forrest, that's Orion.
Those stars there make his belt.
I'll get you a telescope when you're nine.
That's when Grandpa got me mine.
Forrest. Know what those are?
That's right,
the Seven Sisters.
Look like stars, don't they?
But each one is a whole entire galaxy.
I know how you feel. I feel it, too.
But if we fix this, then he'll be right back with us.
So let's keep moving. Eckles's place is still two blocks to the north.
- What are you gonna do about it? - What are you talking about?
It can't ever happen again.
If we're lucky enough to fix things, it'll go back to the way it was before.
We have to stop it, the Hattons, Time Safari, the whole thing.
If we fix the time line, though,
when we come back, we won't know any of this has happened.
So now you see the problem.
At least it means there's still some people alive in there.
- I think we can get down here. - Those creatures back there are smart.
A lot smarter than us if we don't get over this wall.
Wait.
There's got to be something around here.
You see anything over there?
What's this?
I got something.
What the...
Daddy!
It's okay, stay where you are.
All right. It's okay.
We don't have room.
- He saved their lives! - Go somewhere else.
Either let us in or kill us.
We just need to find someone and then we'll go.
Ted Eckles.
He lives in this building. Does anyone know where we can find him?
Apartment 6-A.
When we're done, we'll get you food.
- No! That's Ally's. - The fire's going out.
Not that!
- Mr. Eckles. - Who the hell are you?
Remember me?
Somebody brought something back from your jump. Something small.
Check in there.
Jenny! Look at this.
We have reason to believe somebody stepped off the path.
Are you accusing me?
We're not accusing you of anything.
Maybe in the excitement something happened. Maybe you don't remember.
We think something happened on your hunt that caused all this.
If we can find out what it was, we might be able to set it straight.
I didn't step off the path.
You think because I was scared I didn't listen and I stepped off the path.
- Well, I didn't! - He's telling the truth.
I've been over every inch of his clothes, there's nothing on them.
What about your friend?
I don't know if... We weren't together the whole time.
- You were separated? - Just for a few seconds.
We have to find him. A time wave could come any moment.
Where does he live?
He's not at his apartment. His wife kicked him out.
He stays at his office at the Division Tower, 23rd floor.
We'll never make it on foot.
There's a parking garage down below.
All right. Thank you, Mr. Eckles. Let's go.
- You have to. - I have to what?
Set things right.
We will.
Sonic resonator lock mechanism. Almost impossible to break.
Any suggestions?
If we had an audio oscillator I could find the waves and...
How do you think I put myself through medical school?
We promised those people we'd get them food.
In an hour we'll have the time line fixed and they won't need it.
- What if we don't get it fixed? - Then they'll be the food.
Look out!
What the hell was that?
Sonia, come with me.
You two stay to protect the car.
Thanks.
Brambles.
Be careful.
What the hell happened here?
Look at this.
Jesus!
It's the brambles. These people went crazy and killed each other.
Mr. Middleton?
Get out of here! There's no food in here!
Mr. Middleton!
It's Travis Ryer from Time Safari. We just want to talk to you.
Mr. Middleton, we're gonna come in.
Mr. Middleton, we just want to talk.
Okay? We're gonna come in.
What do you want? Who is she?
Be careful, he's infected.
No whispering! You think I can't hear you?
She's with the company. We just want to look at your outfit from the jump.
Why?
Someone may have inadvertently brought something back.
Who told you that? Eckles, that little weasel?
He hates me! He's lying!
Not your fault. You're not in trouble.
Damn right, I'm not!
Where are you?
How dare you come here and accuse me?
That piece of crap safari! I haven't felt right since!
Don't you run away when I'm talking to you!
Drop the gun! I don't want to shoot you.
Why not? I want to shoot you.
Listen to me, we can fix this.
No, you can't.
Nobody can.
Tell me I wasn't lying. Tell me we can fix this.
Family albums, nice.
Here we go!
I don't believe it.
A single butterfly.
Isn't that amazing?
Yes, it is.
What the hell are you shooting at?
Those birds, if that's what they are. Did you find it?
Middleton stepped off the path. He killed a butterfly.
- A butterfly caused all this? - Is that so hard to believe?
- It's a bug! - It's an insect that laid eggs.
The point is, Jenny, it wasn't a bug that was stepped on, it was evolution.
Watch it!
The wave's coming!
Hang on!
This can't be good.
Travis?
It's Hatton.
I got a feeling there's only one wave left, then it's our turn to be altered.
This isn't gonna be easy to do with flippers instead of arms, is it?
If this place is wrecked, then we won't be able to send you back.
Then we have to find a way to make another place work. Is it possible?
Let me think.
Maybe.
Let's take a look around and see what we can salvage here.
Okay, with TAMI's hard drive, all we need is another portal.
- Let's go to Home Depot. - There's one at the University.
- A Home Depot? - No, a portal.
Well, not exactly a portal, a particle accelerator.
With the right software it becomes a portal. TAMI's hard drive is.
- Are we talking "plug and play"? - Yeah, more or less.
- Which one is it? More or less? - More, I hope.
Get the jumpsuit, I'll try and make this work.
The University is two miles away. Will we travel through the city on foot?
Derris! What are you doing in here?
Please be quiet.
What are you talking about?
- You'll wake them up. - Wake who?
My God.
We still have a chance, but we have to go now.
Come on. We're getting out of here.
There's still time, but we've got to hurry.
Suit yourself.
Wait.
You can't leave me here.
Wait for me.
We can go underground using the subway tracks.
What's that smell?
- Rotten eggs? - Sulfur.
- It's a swamp. - Let's go back up.
No, this is the only way.
You're crazy, I'm not going in there. I say we go back up and run for it.
God knows what's under there.
Come on.
- We almost there? - We passed two stations already.
It can't be more than a couple a hundred yards up ahead.
Wait a second.
Turn off your lights.
Don't make a sound.
It's okay, come on up!
At least it's dry in here.
Let's see if it's collapsed up ahead.
If it's clear, maybe we can get through.
Let's keep moving.
The door's blocked, we gotta go back.
Jesus.
This thing isn't gonna stay watertight forever.
There's gotta be access vents in the tunnel,
some way to get to the street.
- How do we find out? - We gotta bust a window and swim up.
What if there's no vent there?
Then we drown. But, either way, we can't stay here.
I'll shoot out a window.
It should take about 30 seconds for this thing to fill up.
Stay close to me,
take the deepest breath of your life, then we'll go for it.
Okay. Just...
Give me a second, okay?
Come on!
Hold on to me!
I got you! Let's go!
Hold on to me!
Take a breath and go under!
Here we go!
Let's go!
Travis? Travis, stay with me!
Come on.
There's an access way down here.
- Those animals are pretty evolved. - The next wave is us.
Start praying that the backup generators work.
Oh, yes.
Not good.
Almost there, get ready.
Remember, even if this works it'll be highly unstable.
You'll have about 20 seconds.
Hello, Dr. Rand. Where exactly are we?
We're at the University.
In the public sector now? Not a good sign.
We're going to attempt a slingshot jump. What do you think?
It's theoretical. It's never been attempted.
There's a first time for everything.
It's gonna hurt.
You'll be back a year before the hunt for about half a nanosecond,
then you'll be thrown forward again to the hunt.
- Now would be a good time. - I'm working on it!
I've gotta find a way to get proof.
If this works, everything goes back to normal.
You don't remember anything and I don't remember anything.
I gotta get proof that something went wrong,
otherwise we wouldn't have made a difference.
We've gotta make sure that this never happens again!
I'll find a way.
The wave, it's here! It's coming!
Hit a button! Any button!
I'll find a way!
Over here, big guy!
Come on, over this way!
Jenny!
- Jenny! - Payne, where the hell is that gun?
You have to get me on the holo-disc!
Hatton and Derris turned the bio-filter off
and something went very wrong!
When you get back,
make sure you check the filter and give the disc to me!
Only me!
Don't you ever pull a stunt like that again!
If anyone's gonna die saving someone's rich, fat ass, it's gonna be me, got it?
Yeah.
Where are the clients?
Why are you looking at me like that?
- You sure he's dead? - You want to check his pulse?
Anyone hurt?
- They're fine. - What happened back there?
Don't you know?
He fell right where he was supposed to.
You got lucky.
Did anyone break any protocols? Then we're fine.
Travis, the volcano...
We better get going.
Follow me.
Clay, by the way, I know.
When we get back, the bio-filter...
turn it back on, okay?
Good boy.
Welcome! Gentlemen!
And well done!
We promised you the experience of a lifetime
and we delivered.
As long as you know, everything was according to plan.
What the hell happened?
Equipment malfunction. We're okay, but it was close.
- Clay, what went... - We have a problem.
I have to talk to you.
What's wrong?
You've gotta take a look at this.
I told Hatton the recorder malfunctioned.
Don't let anyone see it.
Why? What's on here?
I don't know how to say this without sounding nuttier than usual.
You.
- Of course I'm on it... - No!
It was another you...
Actually, very much the same you.
Just take it and get outta here.
You'll understand.
You come for another argument? I'm kind of tired. Come back tomorrow.
I need to speak to you.
Hatton send you?
If he knew what I had, he'd do anything to stop me from seeing you.
Make yourself useful. There's a bag of fertilizer,
- put it on the rhododendron. - The white ones.
You know, I'm a gardener myself. I've got a fern.
So, what do you want?
I want to put myself out of a job.
- I have a disc for you. - I don't have time to watch discs.
Take a look at this one. Seen it twice myself and it's got everything:
Action, disaster, government corruption. It's the proof you need.
Everything you've been warning us about has already happened and it's all here.
Why don't you stop being such a pain-in-the-ass
and take a look at this?
Who gave that to you?
I did.
So, do you want
a cup of coffee?
