- You need a ride?

You sure you're okay?

In what

seems to be yet another

medically documented birth of its kind,

Mrs. Bruford has become the latest mother

to undergo an 11th month pregnancy.

Doctors so far have had

no explanation...

- Can you believe this shit?

- Turn it down or turn it off.

A man needs his concentration.

This is Winstrom.

I need to speak to Holden.

- Yes.

- Found the leader.

- Where is he now?

- I have an exact location.

- Well by all means, bring him in.

- Yes, Roland.

And who is this, Roland?

Ah, from the future.

Must be very heavy.

- Yeah.

I'm Aaron Winfield.

Should I know you?

- No, we've never met.

I work for a group of people who find

and protect people like yourself.

People with special

abilities like yourself.

- Abilities.

- I'd like you to look at these sketches.

- Look buddy, I can't afford to buy

whatever life insurance it

is you're selling, okay?

I barely make enough

money to pay the rent.

- I'm not a salesman.

I've been sent here to warn you.

- Thanks for the warning.

- Mr. Harper, they've already found you.

And they know who you are.

- Is this guy armed?

- No.

- Excuse me, sir.

May we have a word with you?

It'll only take a moment of your time.

- All right, all right.

- I told you.

He isn't armed.

Johnson.

In his right jacket pocket,

you will find his wallet.

Paul Harper.

License number B23564.

If you look closely, you will

discover that it's a fake.

- This obviously isn't about my license.

Do you recognize them?

- No.

- Answer the man.

Do you know who they are?

- Now, I know you know these people.

I've seen you with them.

And believe you me, I can find them

the very same way that I found you.

- And I told you, I don't know them.

- Bring him to the car.

- Jesus Christ.

- Holden's gonna love this.

- Yes.

He certainly will.

Now call an ambulance.

Okay, what's the problem?

- Just this dark patch.

We did it three times.

- All right, let's see

what shows up on the MRI.

- All the ways are clear.

- 10 seconds.

- Bring in number three.

- We have it.

Seven.

Six.

- Number 15.

- Unit 15.

Insert database.

We can get a base on him.

- Like the signal.

Everyone is set.

- Huh?

- Something in the leg is

still distorting the image.

And look at this.

- Your patient is gone.

He's already on the streets.

And I was told he couldn't even walk.

- Is there something I should

know about this investigation?

- I would like every

test that you performed

on this man, and I do mean everything.

- I'm sure none of it would interest you.

- Do you know what interests me?

Hmm?

A watch

with a picture in it.

A picture of a man in a red jacket.

With two children and a dog

in a lovely garden setting.

They are beginning to

interest me very much.

Now, in your office on your desk are

X-rays and MRI files.

Bring them to me.

- You'll be killed if you leave.

- I'm not staying here.

- I have orders to protect you.

- Great.

- When were you born?

- What the hell does that matter?

- Our information places your

birth sometime next year,

which makes you about 30

years old in the year 2025.

- 2025.

I don't know why I need to be protected.

I didn't do anything.

- It was your special ability

that drew their attention.

- Whose attention?

- His name is Lyle J. Holden.

Three years ago, he became head of SSID.

It's a covert government agency that

investigates psychic activities

in the United States.

It was Holden's men who were trying

to bring you in for their

research department.

- Research.

Research for what?

- You may not know how to do it,

or how to use it, but you possess a

strong telekinetic ability.

Apparently you made quite

an impression on their car.

The entire agency must

be buzzing to find you.

- So how did they find me?

- The agency recently acquired a tracker

by the name of Winstrom.

He's a clairvoyant who

uses the personal objects

of people to find them.

His mission is to hunt down

others with psychic abilities.

- This guy has my wallet.

- That is very unfortunate.

God, the light.

- Why should I believe you?

I don't even know who you are.

- As I told you when we first

met, I'm Aaron Winfield.

I was an obstetrician.

I took a special interest in children

who were the product of

11 month pregnancies.

Now these children were different.

They contacted me through

their psychic abilities

and asked for my help.

Now you need it too.

Now a few years ago, I formed

what is called the Foundation.

It's a group of psychics whose purpose

is to protect these children.

Now we've been asked to

protect you and two others.

- Three of us.

- Yes.

Here, take a look at these.

We know where they are as well.

What's wrong?

- I've spent the last three years

not remembering who I

am or where I'm from.

But I'm beginning to remember them.

I have to find them.

It will take at

least 140 pounds of pressure

per square inch to cause that

kind of spherical depression.

- So, this mutant can push

a car engine back two feet.

What else can he do?

- Well, we don't have any records on him,

but his talent appears to

be telekinetic in nature.

- Well, nature had

nothing to do with this.

This guy doesn't even have

the same spine that we do.

What about the other two?

- It'll take a little more

time, but I'll find him.

- Time.

It's always time with you, Winstrom.

- Clairvoyance is not an

exact science, Mr. Holden.

- Hmm.

What about the one you found?

- What about him?

- See where he leads you.

If he comes into contact

with the others, let him.

I want them all.

- Bringing them in alive

may prove to be difficult.

- I want them alive.

I'll let you know if I want bodies.

- No more bets please, no more bets.

- You ready, baby?

- We should just go.

This doesn't feel right.

- Well you just got to focus.

We're not going anywhere.

You're paranoid.

- I am not paranoid.

You know what this does to me.

- For the pain.

Let me look at you.

Nobody's gonna recognize you.

I place the bets and

you give me the numbers.

- I'm telling you, it's just not right.

- You got no meal ticket without me.

Are we gonna do this?

Or do I go to the management

of the Normandy Casino

and I tell them that our local psychic

is working the big tables?

- Fine.

- We're good?

Let's go.

Whenever you're ready, baby.

- Place your bets please,

ladies and gentlemen.

Place your bets.

- 19 red.

- No more bets please, no more bets.

19 red, 19 red.

Place your bets, please.

- 13 black.

- No more bets, no more bets, please.

13 black, 13 black.

- Ricky.

- I see him.

- Let's get out of here.

- Come on, we're cool.

- Security, let's go.

- Hey wait a second.

Can't anybody win around here?

- The management just wants to see her.

Come here.

Nothing to worry about.

Just a few questions.

Open your purse.

- What did I do?

- Let's see your ID.

Nice ID.

How much you pay for it?

- Obviously not enough.

- Get in the car.

- Look, I didn't do anything.

- Get in the car.

- So what are we waiting for?

- We're waiting for your boyfriend.

- My boyfriend, yeah, that's a laugh.

- Well, he followed you

all the way to the casino.

He'll follow you back here.

- Mmhmm.

Sure he will.

- Don't shut off the engine.

- Didn't shut the engine off.

What!

- Jessica!

Jessica, get out of the car.

Get out of the car!

Get in that car!

- I didn't do anything, okay?

- Put your arms down.

- Well, who the hell are you?

- Look, you can stay with

me or you can go with them.

All right, I'll

go with you, all right?

- Get in the car.

When I tell you to get in

the car, get in the car.

I said I'd get in the car.

- Bet it's Winstrom.

Go on.

- I'm not gonna answer it, you answer it.

Is there a

pharmacy around here?

- Suppose maybe you could take those

sunglasses off for a minute?

- Better?

- No.

- Look.

I came with you because

you look like a nice guy

and you helped me out.

But if this is gonna be a problem,

I can just walk.

- Well I guess it's a

good thing you're not

just getting into any car

with anybody these days, huh?

- I'm walking now.

- Get in the car.

You don't have to lie.

If you don't remember me, just say so.

- I told you, you looked

familiar in the casino.

That's all.

Will he cooperate?

- No problem.

- Do we tail him?

- Finding him doesn't seem

to be the problem, does it?

- You take an awful lot of those.

- For my allergies.

- Must be hard.

Knowing what's gonna happen all the time.

Seeing and hearing

things just a few seconds

before they happen and not being able

to do anything about it.

Must hurt.

So you take the pills to kill the pain.

You don't have to do that.

You never had to do that.

I thought things were gonna

be different when you saw me.

- You want one of these?

- No.

- Phone's going to ring.

I have no idea who it is.

- Paul, this is Aaron.

How is she?

- She's fine.

- Does she remember you?

- I don't know.

Maybe.

We found the other man.

This look okay?

No.

- Come on, let's get something to eat.

You want to move to another table?

- No, I'm fine.

- You know what you want?

- No.

I was gonna ask you since you already seem

to know everything else about me.

- Ready?

- Sure.

The lady will have two eggs over easy,

hash browns well done and

a slice of blueberry pie.

That used to be your favorite.

All right.

You don't know me.

I made the whole thing up.

I'm sorry.

Just enjoy your free meal.

I'll be right back.

Not that I don't trust you or anything.

I'll be right back.

Here.

- Do I know you?

- Maybe.

- So you here to complain about the eggs?

- No.

I came to talk.

- You know we...

- Don't have blueberry pie.

- But we have...

- Apple pie, pecan pie,

cherry and cheesecake.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah I'm fine, okay?

Just forget it, okay?

I'm sorry.

Look, it's...

Oh Christ.

- That's what I get for coming after you?

- What the hell are you doing here?

- I was worried about you.

They take you outside.

All of a sudden you're gone.

So I followed you.

- What happened to your face?

- Nothing.

- So why are you here?

- I thought maybe we could

patch things up.

- You crazy.

Oh yeah, you crazy.

Especially the one about us losing our

memories as a side effect,

to what was it, space travel?

- It's time travel.

- Oh yeah right, well, time travel.

Well, I hate to disappoint

you but you see,

my memory's just fine.

I can remember my whole life.

Growing up, going to high school.

Everything.

And the only special ability I do have

gets me $280 a week.

Right here.

- You can set things on fire.

- Hey, I'm a cook.

It happens.

- How do you explain the

bar code on your arm?

- It's a tattoo.

Got it in the Navy.

Get the hell out of my kitchen.

- Try to remember, Carter.

- I said, get the hell out of my kitchen.

Damn.

Damn!

- Let's go.

Hey man, what's going on

back there?

- Hey, hey.

- Come on.

You can't stay here, there

are people hunting us.

Come on, there's somebody you got to meet.

She left.

- What do you mean, she left?

- With some guy.

Nice car too.

And you're fired, in case

you didn't already know.

- Thanks for coming.

- I can't believe they fired me.

I can't believe they fired me, man.

They fired me from the job.

Want some music?

- Yeah, sure.

- Fucking thing doesn't work.

- Never did.

- It did too work.

What is this guy you ran off?

- Ricky, it's just a guy, okay?

- Well you just run off with any guy?

- There they are.

- Christ.

- What?

- Is this the guy?

- Yes, this is the guy.

- Christ.

- Pull over.

Pull over.

- Would you move it?

- Well now it's over.

It's over, you're not gonna

catch that car in this thing.

- Yes we are.

- Hey look here, you know, I don't think

your engine likes this shit.

I wouldn't, I wouldn't push it.

- I'm not pushing the

engine, I'm pushing the car.

- Pushing the car.

Pushing the car.

- Thought you said this car was fast.

- It is fast.

- Well then do something.

- I can't keep this up much longer.

Can you control it?

- What, fire?

No, I don't know if I can control it.

- Burn the engine.

- What if I hit up the

gas tank or something?

You think about that?

- Just do it or we're gonna lose her.

- All right, all right, just be cool.

Damn!

- Again, again.

- Okay, all right, just get me closer.

Get me closer.

- Would you do something?

- Come on.

Get away from her, man.

- Get your hands off me.

- Why did you leave?

- Look, I don't know who you are

and I'm not your wife.

- You're right.

You're not my wife.

- My pills.

Son of a bitch, give me those pills.

- Shut up.

Shut up and get in the car.

God damn you.

You can't

just leave me like this.

Are you listening to me?

I'm not coming after you.

- So I take it you're

from the future too, huh?

- All I needed was a ride.

One stupid ride, and I get this.

You know, you didn't have

to throw out those pills.

- You didn't need those pills.

- Don't you tell me what I need.

- Look Peter, get a girl her pills

if she wants...

- Hey, it's Paul, okay?

Paul.

- You know what, just

put me out of this car.

I'd rather walk.

- You know what, you can

let me out this car too.

I don't want to be in this.

- Shut up, all right?

Just shut up.

No one's going anywhere.

You can just forget about your pathetic

little lives you've been leading

because you're staying with me.

- Where the hell were you guys?

You were supposed to take her as soon as I

got her out on the road.

- From now on, we're gonna

do this thing my way.

- Lyle?

It happened.

It finally happened.

- Hormones worked?

We're pregnant.

- Of course we are.

Holden.

I'll be right there.

- Now?

You know what they're like.

- Yeah.

- I'll have one of the guys run you home.

I'll call you later.

- This is our deluxe cupid senior suite.

Comes complete with Valentine whirlpool,

exotic of select TV with cupid control,

and a fully heated king-sized contour bed

with three speeds.

I hope you all

will be very comfortable.

- Thanks for letting us park here.

Hold all our calls, will you?

- Look, I'd like to know what

the hell are we doing here?

- We're here to get some answers.

- I'm gonna shower.

- Answers.

Answers, give me one and I don't even know

what I'm doing here, answers.

Front desk.

- Yeah room service, please.

What can I do for you?

- Send up two steaks, three salads,

and two bottles of scotch, please.

- So you stole this from the hospital

because there's something in your leg?

- Yep.

- And you're gonna pop it

out in a hotel room, drunk?

- Had to get drunk first.

Doesn't work the other way around.

- Oh no, no.

- Carter.

- Both y'all are crazy.

- Carter, you can burn things, right?

Be useful and sterilize this.

- Here.

- Thanks, now turn on the

TV and watch something.

- Okay okay, all right.

- Paul.

Paul.

Now I'm gonna take this thing out.

Ready?

- Yeah.

- Jeez, oh man.

- You okay?

Yeah?

You're doing fine, Paul.

I'm finished.

- Is he out?

Is he out?

- Yeah.

- Thank God.

What is this thing?

- I have no idea.

- I'm surprised you're still here,

because I didn't think

you were gonna make it.

- Yeah.

There's something about the

way he said room service.

I don't know, I've heard

him say those words before.

- I know what you mean.

But not exactly those precise words,

but other words in general.

- Yeah relax, Carter.

We both know we know him from somewhere,

or we wouldn't still be here.

- Yeah, but what surprises me is,

he said this guy, Winstrom,

can find us if we stay

in one place too long,

and we're sitting up here, drinking scotch

and playing doctor.

- Yeah, okay.

But he said this thing has the answers.

We got to give him a

chance to figure that out.

- What if he can't figure it out, huh?

- Then we'll leave him.

Please verify voice print.

- Paul Harper.

Voice print verified.

- Objective.

Roland Barrows.

Foundation address.

1168 Archwood Drive.

- What is that?

- Database of our objectives.

- Database of what?

- A historical record of our mission.

Every name, location, and action

we need to know to complete it.

Except we're three years behind.

- Holden.

I remember that face.

- He and the agency are the reason we were

sent back in the first place.

Only, something's changed.

There's something about...

- Paul, get away from the window.

Man, come on.

We got to get out of here, come on.

Move, move.

Come on, let's get out of here, come on.

- Carter, the door.

Come on, come on, come on.

Go!

Come on.

Damn, it won't start.

- Put it in neutral.

- They got to the car.

- Forget it, the car

has been taken care of.

It's going nowhere.

- Yeah, well it's gotten

nowhere pretty bloody fast.

- Yes, I'm fine.

All right, tell Aaron

I'll be down in a minute.

Hey.

- Paul.

Come in, please, have a seat.

I hope you have an appetite.

- Who are the people in the corridors?

- They're what we call masks.

They project a mental image of every part

of this house as being empty.

To everybody, especially to the eyes

of a clairvoyant like Winstrom.

- Thanks.

- This house is totally

abandoned and unoccupied.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I haven't properly introduced you.

Roland, would you come here please?

This is Roland Barrows,

one of the Foundation's

very, very special children.

- And he's an 11th month pregnancy.

- Yes.

How did you know?

- It was in the database.

- Oh.

He's been reading your

mind without permission.

Now Roland, I told you that wasn't polite.

- He's telepathic.

- Oh yes, among other things, but it's

not often that he speaks out loud,

but he was the first child of this sort

that came to me.

- What, there are more?

- Oh yes, yes.

When Roland came in, I began to receive

telepathic communications

from all sorts of children.

This foundation has

children in safe houses

all over the world.

Oh, it was Roland who had me bring you in,

despite the risks.

- Smart boy.

- Very.

And now that you're here,

I'd like to know why I took those risks.

- We were sent back three years ago

to try to prevent Holden

from creating the agency.

- But it still exists.

- We lost our memories.

- It pushed us back.

- Yes?

- There was a second objective.

- Go on.

- We were to see to it

that you stepped down

as leader of the Foundation.

- To be replaced by whom?

- Roland.

- A child?

To head up this organization?

Who gave these orders?

- You did.

30 years from now.

11 month children become the next stage

of human evolution.

Their special abilities are feared

and persecuted by the agency.

In the year 2025, the situation

becomes out of control.

Many of them are killed.

- Just as we feared.

- You were our mentor.

And my best friend.

You realized that Roland's special gifts

were our only hope.

The world around you was dying, Aaron.

So you sent us.

- Did I give you any other

orders to correct the future?

Yes well, it is late.

We can go over this in the morning.

Go over a history of my

mistakes to make sure

I don't commit them again.

Come along, Roland.

Oh.

Goodnight.

Well, doesn't

look like we're gonna

get much cooperation from Aaron.

No.

- Maybe we ought to do is to kill Holden.

That way the agency will fall apart.

- The database specifically

says to keep Holden alive.

Something about his wife

and future repercussions.

- What aren't you telling us?

- We might have to kill Aaron.

- Aaron?

Why?

- Aaron told us to kill him

if he doesn't step down.

It's the only way to ensure

that Roland takes over.

Otherwise, the Foundation fails.

And we're history.

- This is too weird.

- Yeah, all right.

- Carter.

- Yeah.

- Thanks.

- Hey look, I'll be down

by the liquor cabinet

if you need me, all right?

- Hey, you know what I've been thinking?

- That maybe what's happened so far

is bringing back my memories?

- Yeah.

- You need to get some sleep too.

Goodnight.

- Goodnight.

- Take this, get me the G7 filing.

Hello?

Lyle?

- I thought I told you

never to use this line.

Please, Lyle.

- Just wait a minute.

Yes, what is it?

I had a miscarriage.

- What?

What are you talking about?

The doctor said we might not

be able to have children.

- What?

I'm sorry, Lyle.

I thought you should know.

I have to go.

- Brenda.

Brenda.

- Very sorry to hear the

bad news about your wife.

- My family matters don't

concern you, Winstrom.

Your clairvoyant voodoo

is becoming tiresome.

- Really.

Well, perhaps this will change your mind.

- Perhaps.

Mmhmm.

- What happened?

- I stopped taking the pills.

- You still have it.

- Yeah.

I didn't know whose it

was, so I never wore it.

But it's ours, isn't it?

Yes.

- I thought so.

- Listen Jess, I'm sorry.

- No, you don't need to

apologize for anything.

I'm the one who needs to apologize.

- You didn't remember.

When they chose us to be

sent, they said that...

- We might forget our memory.

And I said I wouldn't forget.

But I did.

And maybe it's from not taking the pills

or maybe it's just you,

but I'm remembering us.

I'm sorry.

So sorry.

Roland Barrows.

Foundation address.

1168 Archwood...

- That's where they are.

- Yes.

Use nerve gas if you have to.

The entire area has to be contained.

- Sir...

- No, no one gets out alive.

Autopsies will have to do.

You better hope your

information is correct.

Are we clear what happens to the boy?

- Yes, we're clear.

The boy dies.

- Hey.

Care for a drink, hmm?

Mind if I smoke?

Let's go, move it.

Train leader,

wild leader, let's go.

Get me two more men over here.

Let's go guys, move.

That ammo, let's go, come on.

Front line, now.

- Can you hear me?

Yes sir.

- Good.

All right, got it?

- What, go with you?

- I don't believe this is happening.

Paul!

The agency.

The agency, they found us.

What, how did they find us?

It doesn't matter now.

We have to fight Roland and fast.

You're right, come on.

What do you see?

- There's three of them around the corner.

The mask.

They can't see the mask.

If they can't see the

mask, then they can't see us.

We can walk right past them.

- All right then, let's do it.

There's nobody here.

Hallway's clean, sir.

- No, they're here.

I know they're here.

There!

Can you move it?

We got to get the kid.

- This way.

- I'm sorry, it's the only way.

Come on.

- Not exactly an empty house, is it?

Move, move.

- Hide.

You're making a mistake.

- I have my orders.

- Are the gas charges in place?

- Yes sir.

- Clear the house.

What the hell is happening here?

- Don't try it, Paul.

Holden has seen the database.

He knows about the boy.

- You were one of us.

- No.

No, you came to hunt me down.

You were sent to kill me.

- Listen to me.

You did exactly what we did.

Forgot everything.

Tried to do what you could to live.

But you chose the wrong side.

- It's too late to change

what I've done now.

- We can still win this.

Don't let Holden use you.

- Don't you see?

If I kill the boy, I

can still save myself.

- He must live, Winstrom.

Or we'll all dead.

- Oi, I can see something.

- Do you have a shot?

- It's the kid, sir, and Winstrom.

- I said, do you have a shot?

Fire.

Release the gas.

Yes sir.

- It's not affecting us.

- Our central nervous

systems are different.

- Roland.

There they are.

Hold your fire.

- Sir, over there.

Paul.

Roland!

- Shit.

- It's him, shoot him.

- What are you doing, Paul?

- He'll kill him.

- Stay calm.

He'll be fine.

- I said shoot him.

- No.

I ain't gonna shoot the kid, sir.

- All right then, I'll do it myself.

Cover me.

Paul, what's going on?

- The boy is lying.

You sent him out to lie to me.

- He isn't lying.

- My wife cannot have a child.

- She hasn't been able to.

But she will next year.

Your son will be born on January 28th.

- That's a lie.

I've seen the database,

there's no such date.

- There is.

That's the day that I was born.

It would be very difficult

for me to kill you.

But I will if you force me to.

- My son.

- Will die,

along with thousands of other children,

if you don't let us go.

We were

trying to find out who we were

and who we'd be now.

Holden never spoke to me again.

He terminated the agency and

retired from the service.

Roland was put up in another safe house

and became the leader of the Foundation.

As for us, Roland had a vision that we

would be in danger if we met the younger

versions of ourselves, so we left.

We were trying to find out who we were

and who we'd be now.
