Time Loop (2020) - full transcript

A young Londoner scientist running experiments with his father in a quite Italian village, has to face the consequences of choices he hasn't made yet.

Is it done?

Yeah, just in time.

Well done.

And we've tested?

I mean, it works in theory,

but I'm not sure
if it's gonna work

in the real world with this.

I mean the design may may
seem a little sketchy,

but it has to work fine.

Not to look fine after.

Good point, I suppose.



The frequency
acquitted universe.

Just a random sentence.

Let me just get out of the way.

Hey, nice graphics by the way.

Thanks, it's a template
for a video game design.

Do it.

Can you hear that?

It's working!

Five seconds to stabilization.

Three, two, one

Oh, come on.

What happened?

It's restarting.

Restarting?



Yeah, the fields still growing.

It doesn't make any sense.

Stop it.

It's not responding dad.

I think we've got a
mechanical problem.

Mechanical.

You mean, something is
wrong with a machine

and now we're here
for more hours.

Yeah, I mean, I've been
checking the maths all day.

Alright.

It's always my fault.

I guess something is
wrong with the engine.

Lets just unplug it,
we'll start again.

Yeah, we can try it.

But first we have
a toast with me.

A toast to what dad,

I mean the test failed.

It doesn't matter

We got the firmware but it
doesn't demonstrate anything yet,

but it proves that I wasn't
crazy trying after all.

I'm not sure how its
to not being crazy.

Raise your glass.

This is for us.

We make a great team son.

Dad, is that a pig?

Mamamia, get hold of it, quick.

Well, this is inappropriate
for a research lab.

And he wonders why
he doesn't get any

extra funding from
the university

or another assistant
for that matter.

I swear I have nothing
to do with this.

Why did he follow you then?

Cheecha, how did
you get in here?

Oh, he has a name now?

Of course, he's a
fancy new

He's cute.

Would you take it back
to the padric a minute,

please.

That's the last
thing we need around.

No problem boss.

Oh, you don't
belong here, do you?

That makes two of us.

This isn't your pig, is it dad?

♪ And in our lap we had a pig ♪

♪ Nobody knew why ♪

♪ With a here
and a there ♪

God.

That scare you too?

What were you doing
out there dad?

Never mind.

Why is he still here?

I don't think its Cheecha so.

Looks like Cheecha to me.

Maybe he has a brother who
doesn't wear a collar then.

A collar.

Put him in here.

I'm going to take
care of him later.

Come on.

Are you worried?

What if it can be fixed?

If the test was wrong,
it's simply wrong,

And I waste my life on this.

Why would you say that now?

We're close, you've never
questioned the theory before.

Let's just switch off

and we'll fix it.

No actually it's better
if we leave it on.

Could help expose the flaw.

Makes sense, what
can I do to help?

If you don't mind,

I'd like to double
check everything alone.

Alone?

Yeah, what's the harm?

You could go to Marius
and play the lotto for me,

while I deal with this.

Are you serious?

I feel like we've got
some lucky numbers.

No dad, you're up to something

All of a sudden you
just want to check alone

like you don't trust my work.

Everything has always
to be about you.

But now you're just
thinking about gambling.

I don't understand you.

You should be thrilled
to take a break.

Hang some time out over here.

Catch your girlfriend.

I don't have a girlfriend.

Whatever you call that girl.

The lotto is a not gambling,

the lotto is a tradition,
an Italian tradition.

Okay, now take it, go.

Fine, I'll take it.

Actually dad, if
you do trust me,

then surely you won't
mind me taking the Vespa.

Vespa,

since when do you care?

If you don't trust me
to ride it, then fine.

Of course I do, but
Vespa is a collectible,

a relic from the time
I met your mother.

and you know what I think about
letting it out of the farm.

Oh, well, she looks brand new.

Go ahead,

before I have a second thoughts.

Don't drive it in the dirt.

Don't leave it unattended.

All right dad.

Try not scratching it, go
go, get out of here, go!

Remember to keep to the right!

Ciao boy.

Oops, sorry!

Ricky?

Ciao.

Where did you get it?

Its my dad's actually.

He restored it with
his own two hands.

I didn't know the
professor had such service.

Is very cute to to
let you ride it.

Oh, this is the first time
he's ever let me touch it.

He's quite precious
with his possessions.

That'll be him now.

He's probably check to see
if I crashed it or not.

Dad what is it?

Oh, okay.

This is the lab mascot Cheecha.

Oh, so cute.

Dad, I'm not on my own.

Sorry guys,

I didn't mean to interrupt.

Ciao Olivia

I was just kidding around.

Take care of my Vespa.

Yeah, okay bye.

Was it the?

I don't know, even for my
dad, that was quite weird.

So, Olivia, do you
want to maybe get some

gelato later or something?

Olivia.

I can't leave right now.

Roco needs me here.

Always seem to catch
you at the wrong time.

Maybe later?

Yeah, yeah, well I can swing by

on the way home or something.

Ciao.

What's that?

Wow, that is a coffee.

Anything else I can
do for you Nicki?

I've always
enjoyed the show.

Five lucky numbers for you.

I saw very funny
things last night,

Excuse me,

I suppose picking the
number out of dysmorphia.

I don't know what that is.

Dysmorphia, the
numbers, Nicola, gracia.

So, I have a drink one night,

for something unusual

You looked up here and
find the winning numbers.

If it's fate.

That seems a little
superstitious to my dad, no,

He personally believes
he wants to make the four

Which stands for, the pig.

That makes sense.

A pig turned up at
the lab yesterday.

See, you must think its a sign,

Then 23, the idiot.

The idiot, he means me.

Its the Vespa.

Hey, hey!

Shit.

Come on.

Come on.

You're right

Yeah, sorry, if we met before,

you know my dad,

I know everything about him.

His story, his work,

and most importantly,
I know he's not crazy.

Well, that's good.

He's built quite a
reputation around here

for the opposite so.

I understood your
bike has been stolen.

Yeah, yeah, it's a
it's an old bike.

It's got high sentimental value.

Let me give you a ride home.

I'd love learning more
about your research,

if you don't mind.

You're not journalist are you?

No I'm not a journalist.

I'm Dr. Celestin Dissue.

I work with the university.

Ricky.

I actually owe you an apology,

I nearly caused you
a crush earlier.

The bike?

That was you?

Yeah.

Caused me nothing but trouble
since I brought it out.

You're afraid your father
is going to be upset,

Upset, no, no, I'm
afraid he's gonna be mad.

I have a straightforward
question, if you don't mind.

Yeah, sure, I'm sorry,
here its on the left

Well, how can you be so sure

that's such a disputed thing
as the ether actually exists?

If even Tesla himself couldn't

suggest any possible
demonstrations?

I don't know.

I can't speak to my father, I
mean, his methods with them.

I never really understood
them, I wish.

I don't know, maybe he's
just too idealistic for me.

You are saying you don't
think he can make it?

No, no, of course I
do, I just I think,

Well, I mean,

it doesn't matter anyway.

I'm pursuing a
university career.

So I'm going to have 25
years of published works

and methods and projects
and probably failures,

but I mean, it won't matter.

I'm gonna have electric chair
back in London either way.

I see you have it
all figured out.

Yeah, I've understood
forward thinker.

Thanks for the ride.

Well, I wish you all the
best luck in the world.

Thanks.

It was nice to meet you.

Dad, you haven't fixed it yet?

One should never give
his time for granted.

I was your age when I
started this project.

I was just like you,

a young ambitious
career scientist.

I was also a
dreamer, an ambition.

Dad I've got
something to tell you,

you're probably
not going to like,

People admire me for my
commitment, my patience...

Its about the Vespa.

Some years went by, and I
want to publish any paper

my reputation.

You know, they began to
wonder if I was delusional,

rather than a genius.

The scientific community,

pushed me away, moved on,

and you know where I'd be then..

Yeah left us in London
and retired here.

I didn't get my project done.

That's what I did.

never never stepped off track.

Never let anybody
get into major.

Not even your mother.

I know dad I was there.

But what happened today

give me a lesson.

I was never

in control

of my future.

My utopia was an easy pretext.

A loop, an excuse.

You get this.

You lost me dad why
don't we sit down.

I lost you a long time ago.

That's why I'm gonna do this.

I hope you'll understand.

You understand my my
decision, my sacrifice

in the future.

Dad lets just calm
down have a seat.

Dad?

Don't
leave it unattended.

Try not crashing it.

Go Go.

Get out of here, go.

Remember to keep to the right!

Dad?

Dad.

Calm down, calm down.

Take a breath.

You just arrived.

Come here.

I need to talk to you.

Easy, easy.

See the thing is back.

You feel better, yeah.

So why did you
push me last night?

I pushed you.

Yes, you pushed me into the
magnetic field and then we

actually I think I blacked out

but feels like it was
a few minutes ago.

It was few minutes ago.

Dad, it was it was nighttime.

Son, you

there is not an easy
way to say this.

Please don't freak out, okay?

You traveled through time.

Sorry,

through time

What year is it dad?

Its weird, everything
looks like yesterday.

This is not one of your pranks.

It is no prank.

No, I refuse to believe that
this sent me into my future.

In fact you didn't.

This is not your future.

Actually this is your past.

My past.

No, bullshit.

What are you doing with that?

Stop it you can't.

This is the lab mascot Cheecha.

So cute.

Dad, I'm not on my own.

So sorry.

I didn't mean to interrupt.

Ciao Olivia.

I was just kidding around

Take care of my Vespa okay.

Holy shit.

What the hell did you
think you were doing?

How, how's that possible?

Do you remember receiving
that video call?

Yes, yes.

Good.

That's good.

In the end, you did go
see your girlfriend.

Wow, five minutes ago.

She's not my girlfriend.

65 minutes ago.

Please tell me there's
a hidden camera show

I'm actually doubled.

Don't be silly and don't worry,

you won't be doubled for long

Please, follow me here a minute.

When we started the machine,

it created a time loop.

Then you took the Vespa
out a few minutes later,

which is also approximately
the moment of your arrival.

Did you did you see yourself
riding the Vespa away

when you arrived?

A time machine.

Yeah, now, I don't know
what Dr. Rick is doing.

But when he comes back seems
I'll push him into the field.

And he will travel 65
minutes back in time,

you see,

and he will become
you, Ricky two.

Oh, I'm Ricky two now.

Only until Ricky one
travels back in time

and closes the loop.

Then we should turn
the machine off.

And how do you suppose to
know he's gonna do that?

He will.

He's not even a he,

he's you one hour ago.

From your perspective,
this is your past.

So whatever happens next to him,

has already happened to you.

How could you do this to me?

Technically speaking,
I haven't done it yet.

And honestly, I'm as
the clueless as you are,

Not that, this all of this is?

I joined your research,
against everyone's advice.

All of my mentors, even mom's.

I was the only one
who believed in you.

I know that.

Oh, you know that,
you know that,

yet behind my back, you're
making a time machine

and you're using
test as crap as what,

a cover up for me
as a guinea pig.

No, no, you are going
too far let me explain.

I don't want your
explanation dad.

I don't want anything from you.

Come back, you can't interfere!

You are not the guinea
pig, Cheecha is.

And you brought the
message from the future.

I don't know what it means.

It's French I presume
it's a proverb it means,

time is unfaithful,

for those who abuse it.

You think it's like a threat?

A threat?

No, I don't think so.

I thought you wrote it.

No, me?

But the calligraphy
seems feminine.

Must have been Dr. Dissue.

Doctor Who?

Your colleague from the
university, the French woman.

Dad how many French people
do you know out here?

None that I can think of.

That's weird, she said
you knew each other.

You got to consider
the trauma leg.

Cheecha appeared immediately
after the machine started,

even before you did.

So it will also travel
before

Because the machine
only has one speed.

Whatever enters in there,
only jumps 65 minutes back,

Well it can't have
been her then.

She was driving me
here at the time.

Well, actually not me.

She was driving, Ricky one here.

Shit you know what I mean,

but I can't be a coincidence.

This is in French though.

What do you mean driving here?

Why would you need a ride?

You had the Vespa!

Yeah, that reminds me actually.

Something happened
with the Vespa.

Actually, no, don't
worry, now I can fix it.

No, whatever happened,
it doesn't matter.

If you break the time loop,

you'll create a paradox.

And I don't know, there
are several scenarios.

But they're just a speculation.

Yes, dad its fine.

I know, I'm a scientist
too, as well remember.

Besides I've seen every
time travel movie ever made.

I'm not going to stop
myself going back in time.

I'm just gonna, you know,

get the Vespa before
it gets stolen.

Stolen?

Don't talk to anyone!

Damn it!

Hey, hey!

I'm literally looking
at myself in the moment.

I mean to be fair it's
pretty interesting

Dad you're talking
pre-destination fate.

How can you of all people
believe in such things?

Okay.

What about things that
haven't happened yet?

Well, we wish people
really gonna send the heat,

don't you?

But how much would I win

if I guessed all
five numbers correct?

All five numbers?

It's 6 million times the bet.

Six million...

Yeah, but never
happen around here.

Usually people the
just two numbers.

Yeah, I mean, I suppose
the chances of getting five

numbers out of ninety are
what, 44 million to one,

It must be fate.

Yeah, that and
probably causality.

When I was a little boy,

my father used to run this place

I used to a farmer

Old man was smoking a pipe.

Sitting on a sheep, baa.

The old man recomended
one number to bet.

Just one,

Yeah, just one single number.

But then,

His grandpa, smoking
a pipe and sheep,

he had four numbers to bet.

You're not going to tell me.

What I mean, he won

He threw a party here
invite all the folks,

the priest, the
mayor, it was 1993.

Oh my God, this
was the last time,

that someone score more than
three numbers in this place.

Over 25 years ago?

Yeah.

So don't believe in fate.

You should talk your father
into making a time machine.

Yeah, might not be a bad idea?

Listen, thanks, Mario.

- Are you leaving?
- Yeah.

The draw is being released

You don't want to
know if you won?

I don't think I've won

One,

two, three,

four,

Hey, hey!

Mario, Mario,
Mario, are you okay?

Oh dad, what have you done?

30 million.

30?

30!

30.

Woo, 30 million.

Closed, come on.

Ciao.

Que?

I lost you a long time ago

that's why I'm gonna do this.

I hope you will understand.

You understand my
decision, my sacrifice

in the future,

Dad let's just calm
down and have a sit.

I'm sorry,

What are you doing here?

Sorry.

I had to see it
with my own eyes.

Your invention is
out of control.

You might not see it yet,

but there will be consequences.

Yeah I figured.

Why don't you come inside,

you've also got some
explaining to do.

Dad I'm here.

I mean, yours is quite a
singular time perspective.

Isn't it like living
your past, present

and future at the same time?

What, my future?

A forward thinker like you
hasn't considered the future?

Dad she was spying.

You're out of time and
you can't stay here.

It's dangerous.

Dangerous, what are
you talking about dad?

Dad is that who I think?

Yes, he's the man.

I don't understand.

He's with her.

She set us up.

No, no, I didn't.

Are you doing all of
this for the money?

What money?

The money of course,

Lock yourself inside.

I'll handle it.

Ricky, shut the doors.

Why am I the only one who
seems to be left in the dark?

That's quite the opposite.

You are probably the only person
who knows the whole story.

Just trust me with this.

Turn the machine off before
the loops get concluded.

No one should have a such
interaction with time.

Is that what you meant
when you wrote this note?

I know you're gonna
send it with the pig.

The pig.

Yeah.

But you didn't?

What are you talking about?

We were here when we
received the message,

which means, when I
found this in your car,

I must have changed time.

Of course you did.

Wait a second, you
searched my bag?

Yeah.

And I found your
university notes.

You knew about the time
machine before we did.

So Excuse My French, why
don't we just cut the shit,

and you can tell me
why we're really here.

We want the same thing.

I'm here to help

I promise I would bet
you've got to co-operate.

No no, no, I don't care.

What kind of deal
you have my father

or what he promised you.

Okay, you have you're
trying to frame him

I read the notes
delusional disorder, yeah.

You're trying to discredit
him just like everyone else.

That's how you picture it.

Yeah, that is and who's
that outside anyway.

Can be anyone,

could even be you
from what I know.

Dad, is everything all right?

It's cool, you
brought the bike back.

We forgive you.

Who's there?

Have you seen...

Roco

You need to stop doing that.

Dad.

Dad?

Oh, no, Dad, Dad!

I thought you said this is...

Why did you do this?

Why did you do, it, why?

- Dad!
- Stay back.

Dad, please.

He can't hear you Ricky.

He can't.

No that is not gonna help!

You can change things
if you don't go!

Don't talk to anyone!

So that's how you did it.

You sent the numbers
back with Cheecha.

You need to stop
being like that.

You want to kill me.

Quite the opposite actually.

Is it gonna work?

We become a rich.

Well, yes,

Yes.

We made it, cheers!

That's it.

Everything is gonna
work out for the best.

Just answer your damn
phone, Dad, it's me.

Ricky?

I'm literally looking
at myself at the moment

What?

Alright Cheecha.

I knew it.

What a stupid prank.

Why didn't you just send a note?

Get changed, you
stink like a Cheecha.

You spoke to Mario then.

Yeah, he passed out dad,

I had to sneak out like a thief.

I mean, what's he gonna
say when he wakes up?

Did you ever consider that?

I asked you not
to talk to anyone.

Why did you travel back again?

What happened to you?

What happened to me,
what happened to you?

What happened to me?

What could possibly happen
to me in an hour or so?

I mean, if I'm not
gonna die then...

Mamamia I'm gonna die.

No, no, no, dad,
just calm down.

Okay, you're not gonna.

Well you're not
supposed to die yet,

I mean you've got,
you've got an hour.

See there, you notice?

See the way she's looking?

She's staring like she already
knows I'm gonna be there.

How would she
possibly know that?

Pushing down the cliff,
by the hand of a stranger.

French.

She's no stranger dad she
works at the university

she knows everything about you,

she knows everything
about the time machine.

Everything?

She said this guy has some
sort of deal worked out.

How many times,
I don't know her.

What about the guy from
the grocery store then?

Who?

Walker, he's about
to get out here.

He's gonna knock me out.

You don't think Olivia as well?

Come on a conspiracy
between some scientists,

in that

It's ridiculous.

What do you suggest that
it's gonna happen in an hour

if we lock her up.

We are obviously
missing something here.

Something that connects the
dots and explain everything.

Okay, dad, I think its time
you told me the whole story,

don't you?

Okay,

alright.

Well, first of all, there
is not a university.

I'm not working for them.

How could I?

I mean, they think I'm crazy.

Sorry, what?

I made it up.

Well, who's paying
for all of this?

The the equipment,
the lab everything.

All from my savings
in and a few loans.

What was I supposed to do?

I was so close to
complete the research.

And you were involved.

I couldn't turn it down.

After I lost you
and your mother,

my research was all I got left,

I think you will find
it was your research

that lost us in the
first place dad.

You're right.

I'm right.

Yeah.

I was in a sort of loop,

similar to what
you were in today.

I was stuck in the past.

I was using it as...

As an excuse.

Yeah, as an excuse.

Well, until one day you
agreed to join the project.

It was a breakthrough.

You know, you
following my steps.

I wouldn't put it that way dad.

I'm just saying
it seemed perfect.

My project was gonna lead
you to a brilliant career

and maybe fix the
things between us.

If the tests or didn't
the truth is,

I didn't know we were
making a time machine,

until one hour ago.

Sorry, are you saying that,

that is an accident.

Clearly, there is
no field of force,

that accounts for the
motion of the batteries.

Tesla was wrong.

Would you make any of it public?

I mean, two hours after
we switch this thing on,

it kills you.

It's too dangerous.

What if this fell
into the wrong hands?

You can't make this public.

Exactly.

But no publication means also...

Means no career for me.

I go back to London
empty handed.

Not empty handed.

Oh, I see.

So you'll be planned to
make some money out of this

before you switched
it off, did you?

I had no time for plans?

You were there too
when Cheecha appeared.

I only read the numbers
and played along.

Sorry, so you're gonna send
these numbers back in time

just because you received
them from the future?

That doesn't make any
sense dad in fact,

that's the paradox.

Nothing is ever written.

It has to start somewhere or,

or some when in
his case, enough,

Whose idea was it to play
the lotto in the first place?

You shouldn't ask
yourself who has decided

but whose intention was it?

Intention?

Did you playing?

Or did you just think about
winning the lotto somehow?

I spoke to Mario about it,

but we we'd already won.

We'd always we always
had we'd already won.

I don't know what do you think?

Don't wrap your head around it.

This is beyond us.

There is so much we
don't know about time.

Now, let's send Cheecha back

Dad, you really need to
forget about this money.

Okay, we need to switch this
off before it kills you.

Ricky, you surprise
me, we can't.

You are here only because
we are not going to.

At what time do I die?

Seventeen past seven.

If we turn it off now,

instead of sending Cheecha back,

there would be no Ricky
one going back in time,

no Ricky two.

And no Ricky three.

You would probably disappear

or who knows?

I'd rather disappear
and watch you die again.

Well, I appreciate your bravery

but you wouldn't
be here to warn me,

this this conversation
would never take place

and we still
wouldn't turn it off.

The machine is meant to stay on.

So what dad 'cause
I don't understand.

Do we just sit here and then

we wait for you to be killed?

Is that a plan?

I just want to make sure
I secure you a future.

In case I don't make it

after tonight.

A future where are
you out reign me.

With a ridiculous load of
money instead of

I'll leave it up to you.

Dad is that a pig?

Grab the pig!

If you don't mind, I'd like
to double check everything.

I feel I will get
some lucky number.

30 million.

30 million.

So that's how you did it.

I'll leave it up to you.

You're wrong about time dad,

you can change the past.

Just look at this message.

I was meant to send it
back with Cheecha numbers,

but I never did.

And now you can't remember.

We just changed time.

Oh really?

What do you remember?

I don't know maybe 'cause
this time it was bullshit?

With my timeline
and your timeline,

are two completely
different things.

I know where you are heading.

Please, don't even mention
parallel universes.

It only makes things
even more complicated

than they currently are.

If there's a chance
that we have to try it,

But...

No dad just listened
to me for once.

Okay, so I can go back in
time I can appear in the lab

after Cheecha right
where it all began.

No, Ricky.

It doesn't matter.

But I know where the
French woman is gonna be;

I can follow her,
I can talk to her,

I can probably stop her.

I mean, I really
don't see what we

have to lose with this dad,

Ricky, if you calm
down a second.

There is one more thing that
I should talk to you about.

Is that you?

Yeah.

He can't see me.

I know.

You gotta go, don't take
anything for granted.

Dad.

Good job.

Would you take it back to
the a minute,

please, that's the last
thing we need around.

No problem boss.

How did you do that?

This isn't your pig is it dad?

You made it, what have you done?

You look sick.

I'll be fine in a minute.

This is my third time travel.

Time travel?

Yeah, we really screwed up.

Dad, I'm sorry,

we don't have time.

Do not tell him about me.

He's not ready.

He wont understand,

he'll probably try and do
something stupid, okay?

You discovered time travel.

Don't get excited
it's a bad thing.

This is a reminder,
to not abuse time,

whatever you think you
might be able to do.

It won't work.

Is this French?

Oh, don't go play the lotto.

Lotto?

Lotto?

That scare you too?

Hey boy.

Ciao.

Should be more careful
where you tie that horse,

it could be dangerous.

Ciao boy.

Get off me.

I hit you with my car I'm sorry.

I mean a bike cut me off.

You killed him.

You killed my dad.

Sir you hit your head,

you need some time to recover.

I'm fine.

Sir your mind must
be playing tricks.

Trust me, I'm a psychologist.

My name is Celestin.

I know who you are,

you're just after
the time machine.

Time machine?

Yeah you work at
a university now?

How do you know that?

Wait a second.

Are you by any chance related
to a certain Doctor Vinner?

Come on I'm his son.

What a coincidence,

I'm here for an evaluation
to assess his sanity

with the best intention.

You know they are willing
to support his project

if he comes to a reason.

Time machine,

this is turning a little
different than I was expecting.

I don't understand this.

You came to the lab.

You saw everything.

May I suggest we
go to the hospital?

It's not uncommon after a
shock to confuse suggestions

and reality, please.

No.

Sir, please take
a seat in the car.

Is there any place where I can
get you something to drink?

This is happening
in about an hour,

whether you like it or not.

Yeah, I mean, I thought
I could change something.

I'm not sure.

My father seems to think that
you can't change anything

that's already happened.

Can't argue with that.

Although you said it is
yet to happen, right?

Like if we'd go checking
we'd find him alive.

I mean, it's
happening to me now.

Not me, that the third me,

the one who traveled through
time, the second time.

Clear has the so
he's going to die?

Is that what you're saying?

Yeah.

And to top it all
off, it's my fault.

It's my intention
to bag the lotto.

Intentions?

Yeah, so we figure down the lab,

intentions is
essentially what...

I'm sorry but no one's future
is driven by intentions.

Nothing could be
further from the truth.

The world is full of good
intentions and still.

Besides, doesn't it
seem strange to you

that all your fears and
insecurities came to life out of the

blue in a couple
of hours window.

What do you mean?

Well, your father betrays
you, your girlfriend.

Not my girlfriend.

The girl you like, he sees
the guy you actually saw.

Who also takes part involving
the theft of your motorbike,

in order to let me,

a foreign doctor who has
never been to this village

lure you with the purpose
to get to your lab,

which I already
know the address.

This is obviously a fantasy.

You should have come
to your senses guy now.

I'm very concerned about
your head trauma unless...

Ricky, have you
ever been diagnosed?

Okay, look, can we just
pretend for a moment,

that what I'm
telling you is true

and that time machines exist.

I'm not willing to indulge
in those illusions.

Perhaps just this once.

What other than my intentions
could possibly lead me

to some happy ending other than

the materialization of all of
my worst nightmares at once.

And partly your expectations.

I wasn't expecting this.

Any of it?

Of course you're not.

At least not consciously.

Have you ever heard about
self fulfilling prophecies?

Look, a self
fulfilling prophecy,

is when a person
unknowingly causes

a prediction to come true,

due to the simple fact that
he expects it to come true.

Like you expect your
new roommate to be shy,

so you don't speak much to him,

and therefore he does seem shy.

Okay, doctor I really don't see

what this has to do with me.

Ricky, have you
ever truly believe

that your father's
project could succeed?

Or that girl would
like you back?

Of course those
pessimistic expectations

condition the nightmare you
had when you passed out.

This wasn't a dream,

and I really don't
see how expectations

could have changed anything
that's already happened.

Ricky, I can help you
to go through this.

If you just allow me.

Okay, okay, you see that guy
over there with a guitar.

In a moment, he's going to
start playing something,

and when he does,

I'm going to pull up over
there on my bike by the tree,

okay, and then
another version of me,

is gonna run out from
behind that wall.

He's gonna run straight
back because he sees you.

Now, if, if what I'm
saying isn't true,

if I'm wrong, then fine I
will follow you to hospital.

I like that.

If what I'm telling
you is right,

if all this happens,

then you have to
promise that you will

you help us stay out of the
way of any version of me.

Do not talk to them and also,

please do not go
near the latter.

Where are you going?

I have to go and
deal with a man.

Do we have a deal or not.

I promise, I'll help you.

Hey, hey!

I'm literally looking
at myself unless.

You alright

Yeah, sorry,

have we met before,
you know my dad?

Ricky, you made it, come in.

Where's he going?

Who, my brother?

Your brother?

Just a few things
left to sort out.

And then we can go
for that gelato.

Is this his hat?

You like it?

You look cute.

Olivia.

You all right?

Yeah.

Do you ever think You
know something like you

You really believe is true

and then you see it from
someone else's point of view

and it changes everything.

Ricky, if there is something
you are trying to say.

Wow.

Sorry if it came at a bad time.

Que?

Que? Que?

I guess I just have to
change my perspective.

We are out of time you can
stay here, it's dangerous.

Dad is that who I think it is?

It's the Vespa.

I don't understand.

He's with her, she set us up.

No I'm not sure how he did it.

Are you doing all
this for the money?

What? Money?

Lock yourself inside.

I'll handle it.

What are you doing here?

Don't tell me, always you.

I figured it out,

you have to die.

Ricky, shut the damn door.

Are you sure its gonna work?

What if we make a mistake.

There are countless variables.

This has already happened.

He's gonna see us, just snap

Have you seen...

I'm sorry.

Roco.

It's all right, he
knows what he's doing

What's going on here?

How many copies are there?

We we haven't been
introduced properly.

Thanks for your help.

My help?

Didn't think you were coming.

Well, I promised
I was gonna help.

Your place to be quite
important actually.

My place?

Oh, you haven't
explained anything yet?

No.

Go grab this thing,
follow me I'll explain.

I am not doing it.

You have to, we need to to
move forward, Dad, just...

Dr. Celestine, please

remember to scream, good luck.

Dad, Dad!

It's you, you set
this in motion!

- Dad!
- Why did you do this, why?

Okay, last time I save your life

How can you not see that?

It's quite dark.

You do look a bit similar.

- She's good.
- Yeah.

No, that is not gonna help!

You can change things
if you don't go!

Can someone please
explain what's going on?

Is this insanity
ever going to stop?

Just come in, doctor, it's over.

Actions, reactions,
consequences,

all mixed up.

We still can't account
for the paradox though.

Ricky has his own theory
about it, but I don't know.

I presume we just demonstrated

the existence of a fate.

Fate was a nice idea,

but it has nothing
to do with physics.

It is determined by your
actions, by who you are.

And you don't need a time
machine to determine yours.

I'm afraid these
are all consequences

of my actions actually.

I mean, I came up
with a formula,

I turn the machine on,

I convince you to
play the lotto.

I drag you into this,
stole the Vespa for myself,

I kissed Olivia.

You what?

My whole life I thought I
was just reacting to things.

And never I realized I
actually made things happen.

I was wrong, you two were
right, I should have stopped.

Larking around in the past,

should have concentrate
on my future.

But in the end, you
achieve something

even harder than that.

You change your mind about it

and focus on your future
rather than your past.

I'm sorry.

I'm proud with you, son.

You have nothing
to apologize for.

The machine is such a big deal.

I wouldn't trust
anybody else to use it.

Imagine how things
could have turned out,

if you weren't here.

I guess one crazy scientist
is enough for this family, eh?

I'm sorry to interrupt
the family moment but.

We need to turn it off!

I'm glad to see you two
finally agree on something.

You got it?

Yeah, can you check
the display for us?

Okay, what am I looking at?

Just wait for the
bar to hit stable.

Okay, device progressing.

Now!

Dad?

Professor Reid,
where is the switch?

Everybody stay still.

We forgot Mario.

It's here, give me a second.

Wait.

Who is that talking?

Oh, f...
