Eureka (2006–2012): Season 3, Episode 4 - I Do Over - full transcript
It's Allison's wedding day, and Carter is stuck in a time loop that causes him to relive it over and over. Unfortunately, there's no simple act that will right things, and the solution may prove very costly.
SARAH! Water.
SARAH: Yes, Sheriff.
(EXCLAIMING) Warm water!
Sorry, Sheriff.
(SQUIRTING AIR)
Forget it.
I sense a high level
of adrenaline in your system.
Is something
bothering you today?
I'm perfectly fine.
High adrenaline can cause
physical and psychological
reactions.
(GASPS)
Bandage?
I want to look good
at the wedding.
Good thing you're
not the groom.
What kind of Type A bride
works the morning
of her wedding?
Nice cut.
Thanks.
There is a condiment
dispenser in the refrigerator.
Uh, that's all right.
I like the bottle.
And, I don't know.
She called me up,
said she needed my help.
So, you jumped,
like always.
No, I didn't.
Dad, you're walking the woman
you possibly love down the
aisle to marry another guy.
Okay, first, not true,
and, second, since when
do you and I talk
about this stuff?
Since I'm 17,
and you're in denial.
I'm fine.
Are you really
this hopelessly
un-self-aware?
That's my last clean shirt.
Yeah.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
There's an unexpected
visitor at the door.
It's Auntie Lex!
Three days early! Wow!
Shall I let her in?
No!
Yes!
Hello?
(EXCLAIMS) Zoe!
(GASPING) You look
like a supermodel.
Every father's nightmare.
(CATS MEWING)
I love your hair,
and your cats.
Hmm? Oh! A Tibetan monk
told me that tabby is a
reincarnation of Grandma Lil.
Jackie!
(GASPS) You look
just like Dad.
Always ready,
Hey!
Always prepared,
always uptight.
(STUTTERING) I thought
you weren't coming
till Tuesday.
My Seattle chakra conference
ended early,
and Saturday travel,
always best for Geminis.
Right. Well, glad to see you.
If you could put the cats
in the guest room,
and I'll see you
at the wedding, sweetie.
Nice to see you,
too, Monkey.
Monkey?
Don't call me that!
Weddings! I love weddings.
Okay, be careful with
Grandma, she's in heat.
(CATS MEWING)
Mmm, mmm.
CARTER: Shouldn't you be at
a beauty parlor or something?
What? Is it 1960
and no one told me? Relax.
We've both done this before.
I mean, separately,
but...
Yeah, but getting married
isn't like riding a bike
or returning dry cleaning.
I mean, getting married
should be
momentous!
Well, redaction is
momentous, too,
but I owe it
to these people
to see them through it.
Big day. Nervous?
(LAUGHING) I'm not
a first-time bride.
Sorry I had to call you in,
but quarterly balance sheets
are due Monday.
This couldn't wait.
Another set
of layoffs?
There's over
a dozen people here.
Good thing you called
in the cavalry.
Blood stain?
(STUTTERING) Oh, no,
breakfast.
It's Saturday,
it's my last clean shirt,
so...
This is gonna take hours.
Time's a-wasting.
Wouldn't want to miss
your beautiful wedding.
You didn't invite her,
did you?
No.
CARTER: Look, this whole
redaction thing sucks.
I'd like to see the Fixer
cleaning up excrement.
Look, Lincoln,
um, for what it's worth,
we all know
that you're the best, um,
excrement guy around.
Just remember,
today at 6:00 p.m.,
your badge is disabled.
I'm sorry.
I've been in Eureka
for eight years.
Kinda hard to go back
to the PETCO in Pacoima,
you know?
Yeah, well,
it's been a hard day
for a lot of good people.
Carter! Bar fight?
Take care.
(CLEARING THROAT) Shouldn't
you be at the beauty parlor?
It is your big day.
Supervising an important
delivery.
Time-sensitive.
Guys!
Do you need
something, Carter?
Guys?
Yeah, I need to find, uh,
Maintenance. Last guy
on my list is, um...
Uh, Weinbrenner.
Basement.
Just do
whatever you have
to do, but, please,
don't be late to the wedding,
and don't forget the necklace.
(GROANING) I can't believe
she's marrying him again.
(SIGHING) I can't believe
she asked him to walk her
down the aisle.
Weinbrenner?
Leo Weinbrenner?
Anyone here?
(GROANING) Wow.
(LAUGHING) All right.
You just bought yourself
an extra day.
(GROANING) Holy...
You're late.
Yeah, I had to redact 12
people, and then find a tie.
The necklace?
What necklace?
One of a kind,
just like Allie.
Don't screw it up.
You know, the French
give their children
wine with dinner.
Yeah, well, Dad's never
been to France.
Okay, if I told you
what your father
was doing at your age...
He would kill you.
(SNICKERS) That's
what aunts are for.
(TOASTS IN FRENCH)
Zoe!
Nice, Lex.
You're late.
I met your sister.
Yeah, arrest her
for corrupting a minor.
Wow.
Momentous, huh?
Yeah.
Are you okay?
You look pale.
That's the white tent.
Allison, um,
there's something
that I wanted to say.
Um, something
you should know.
I'll always be
here for you,
no matter what.
Everything's gonna work out
the way it's supposed to.
(CLASSICAL GUITARS
PLAYING WEDDING MARCH)
Love is timeless,
transcending
everything we know,
everything we understand,
and giving us strength
and comfort forever.
What is past is now present,
and what is present
will become your future.
That is what love is:
Never-ending.
Now, before you
share your vows,
if there is anyone here
who knows why these two
should not be joined together,
speak now, or forever
hold your peace.
(THUNDER CLAPPING)
Whoa!
(SIGHING) What the hell?
Warm!
SARAH: Yes, Sheriff.
I sense a high level
of adrenaline in your system.
I'm fine, just
a weird dream.
High adrenaline can cause
physical and psychological
reactions.
Perfectly...
Ow.
(GROANS)
Bandage?
SARAH?
Yes, Sheriff?
Is the wedding today?
Yes, at 6:00 p.m.
Good thing
you're not the groom.
Is something bothering you?
Yeah.
Feels like I was
already there.
Nice cut.
Why are you
dressed for work?
Uh, Allison called.
Said she needed my help.
(LAUGHS) What kind of Type A
bride works the morning
of her wedding?
SARAH made
eggs. Mmm?
Yeah, thanks.
Dad, is something wrong?
Yeah, I'm a little...
I'm a little thrown.
Well, no wonder. I mean,
you're walking the woman
you possibly love
down the aisle
to marry another guy.
And since when do you and I
talk about that stuff, huh?
Since I'm 17.
You're in denial.
Oops!
That's my last clean shirt.
Sorry.
There's an unexpected
visitor at the door.
Lex.
How did you know?
Shall I let her in?
Yes!
Hello!
(GASPS) Zoe! You look
like a supermodel,
every father's nightmare.
You look amazing!
I love your hair.
(CAT MEWING)
And your cats.
Jackie!
Hey!
You look
just like Dad.
(STUTTERING) And, uh,
your tabby looks
like Grandma Lil.
I thought you were
coming on Tuesday?
Oh, my Seattle chakra
conference ended early...
And Geminis
travel best on Saturday.
(LAUGHS)
Okay.
If you could put the cats
in the guest room, I got to
figure something out.
I'll see you at
the wedding.
Wedding? I love
weddings!
I can't explain it.
I just feel like
I've done all this before.
(LAUGHS) We've both
done this before,
separately.
No, not the wedding. I mean,
not just the wedding.
It's the ketchup, my sister,
this conversation...
Big day. Nervous?
Oh, she's not
a first-time bride.
I'm sorry to call you in.
These quarterly balance sheets
are due Monday.
They can't wait.
Another set of layoffs?
There's over a dozen
people on this.
Good thing
you called in
the cavalry.
Blood stain?
Uh, breakfast.
Time's a-wasting.
Wouldn't want you to miss
your beautiful wedding.
See? I knew she was
gonna say that.
(SIGHS)
You have to believe me.
I've done this before.
Carter, no more advice.
This is gonna take hours.
If we don't start now,
I'm gonna be late
to my own wedding.
Guys?
Carter! Bar fight?
No. I got a problem.
All right, Carter, look,
do what you have to do,
but just please,
don't be late for the wedding,
don't forget the necklace.
This isn't about the necklace.
Something's wrong with today.
You walking Allie
down the aisle?
This isn't about the wedding
or whether or not I think
it's a mistake.
Ah! Now
it's a mistake.
Yeah, um, we're supervising an
important delivery here, so...
Yeah, you know,
so why don't I just
do it myself?
Carter,
we're getting married.
She said yes.
No, I know.
I felt it.
I mean, I was there
the first time. Second...
The first
second time.
What is wrong with you?
This isn't about
the wedding.
This is about
time repeating.
(SIGHING)
I mean, can it happen?
A time loop? The same day,
over and over?
No. Time flows
in one direction.
If time were
to fold back upon itself,
it would affect causality.
It would delete us from
the time-space continuum.
(WHISPERS) Okay.
Carter.
It's Allie's big day.
Don't screw it up.
All right.
The last time
I had moo goo gai pan,
I was in a hut in Canton.
I thought we were
gonna get to meet
the future Mr. Lexi.
Oh, he had, uh,
visa troubles.
Duncan is her
gorgeous Dr. WHO.
Oh, my God!
I love that show!
Oh, no,
"World Health Organization."
He's an immunologist.
(STAMMERING) Oh...
I knew that.
ZOE: Hey, Dad.
Hey! Um, did you see me
sleepwalking last night?
Or talking?
Anything odd?
Nice to see you,
too, Monkey.
Don't call me that.
Oh. He's just nervous
about the wedding.
No, I'm not,
and don't call me that.
Can I get
two banana milkshakes?
Bananas calm Monkey down.
VINCENT: Coming right up.
There have been
documented cases
of repetitive cognizance
brought on
by extreme psychophobia
of a certain upcoming event.
So, tell me,
what's my, uh,
psychophobia?
Okay, uh, this Allison,
Mmm.
You like her,
right?
Yeah.
Can't stand the thought
of her with another guy
forever?
(EQUIVOCALLY)
Well, I mean...
Okay, let's say
I'm conflicted.
Have you told her?
Okay, there's your problem,
Sheriff "I'm-Not-a-Sharer."
So I'm stuck in this day
until I tell her how I feel?
Mmm, you can't just tell her.
You have to kiss her.
It's the only way to know,
on a truly cellular level,
if your energies
are meant to combine.
There's a science
to this love stuff.
But, you know, why start
taking my advice now?
Honestly? Because you
are the only one
who believes me.
That's what family's for.
Carter! You can't
go in there.
(EXHALES)
Carter...
(CLEARS THROAT)
Carter, you're early.
Yeah, and you're...
Not ready.
(GROANS)
Are you okay?
You look pale.
I'm not, uh,
(STAMMERING)
A "sharer."
(SIGHING)
Hey. What is it?
(SIGHING)
So, you thought
that coming here
and doing that,
right before the wedding,
that that's a good idea?
No. My sister did.
Look, I'm not
gonna deny that...
That, you know, maybe...
(STUTTERING) It just...
It didn't work out that way.
(SOFTLY) I love Nathan.
We have a history.
And, and you and I
could've had a future...
You'll always be
my friend.
My true friend.
I'll always be
here for you.
You know that,
right?
I mean,
no matter what.
Everything's gonna work out
the way it's supposed to.
And, now, before you
share your vows,
if there is anyone here
who knows why these two
should not be joined together,
speak now, or forever
hold your peace.
(THUNDER CRASHING)
(EXCLAIMS)
SARAH: I sense a high level
of adrenaline in your system.
Is something
bothering you today?
I think today
is yesterday.
Again.
Saturday again!
Again?
Allison called. I mean,
what kind of Type A bride
works the morning
of her wedding?
Hmm.
SARAH made eggs. I know
you like the bottle.
Not today.
You didn't shave.
Safety precaution.
Oh, you are freaked out
about the wedding.
You're right!
And I'm totally self-aware.
You and I should talk more
now that you're 17,
but right now
I got to check out a theory
I just came up with.
In the bathroom?
You'd be surprised what
happens to me in there.
I think Aunt Lexi's coming
today with two cats.
They should go directly
to the guest room,
and get to know the tabby.
You might be related.
I'll see you
at the wedding.
Got to go stop time.
And drinking age is 21.
Supervising an
important delivery?
Carter.
Time-sensitive, Fargo?
Uh, yeah, I guess
you could say that.
Could you also say that
that's a device that could
have created a time loop
that I've been living in
for the last three days?
Fargo, tell him
what it is.
Uh, it's our new
sub-femtosecond
atomic clock
that'll make G.D.
The constant for time
in all the known universe.
Those Swiss guys
are really fuming.
And today's the day
you plug it in.
It runs on unstable
plutonium neutrons,
not AC.
Isn't that unstable?
Well, of course,
'cause if they were stable,
they would split during...
Why am I explaining this?
Don't ask why,
just don't take that thing
out of its container
until after your wedding.
Okay, we'll trust your gut,
and miss
our only sync window
between now and 2036.
Not! Um, we're
ready to move.
Don't do this!
We're all stuck in some
weird time thing where
things keep repeating.
Yeah, and only
you remember it.
Carter, this is
a very important project.
Don't screw it up.
Allison's Director
of Operations.
Why don't you ask her to
cancel synchronization?
Well, because you'd
still have to approve.
And I won't.
This clock gives G.D.
Universal ownership of time.
I know. I know,
and the Swiss are fuming,
but if you plug this thing in,
we'll be doomed
to repeat this day forever.
The happiest day
of my life?
Sorry I had to call you in,
but quarterly balance
sheets...
Yeah, quarterly balance...
Look, forget it.
If we don't stop that clock
from turning on, you'll have
the rest of eternity to
redact those 20 people.
You said "a few
nonessentials."
Time's a-wasting.
Don't want you to miss
your beautiful wedding.
(SIGHING)
You should have invited her.
Carter, what is
wrong with you?
Nothing.
Nothing
you'll remember.
We just need to stop
that new clock.
You're making me nervous.
I just want to get
through this.
Well, you won't.
We're gonna do this
again, and again,
unless right before 6:00,
I unplug that clock,
and then, this horrible
day'll be over.
Look, I know that you think
that I'm making a mistake,
(STAMMERING)
And I am touched that
you care so much about me.
Of course I...
I just need you to
be there for me today.
Well, I'll always
be there for you.
And if I am
late tonight,
just know that I was
fixing something
that's broken.
Everything's gonna work out
the way it's supposed to.
(SNORTS SOFTLY)
(WARBLING)
(BEEPING STEADILY)
So, 6:00 p.m? That's when
this thing goes off?
That's when
the official switchover
from Greenwich happens.
But, now, it is time
to get married.
(DEVICE WARBLING)
In some cultures,
teenagers are guided through
mind-altering experiences
by trustworthy elders
to expand their
consciousness.
Well, in this culture,
the drinking age is 21.
French give their children
wine with dinner.
Yeah, Dad's never
been to France.
If we're late
to the wedding, I wonder
who will kill us first,
Dr. Stark or Dr. Blake?
Well, nothing
matters now but
unplugging this unstable
plutonium thing.
Thought you said we were here
to take emergency readouts
for Thorne?
I lied. Turn it off.
No.
Now.
What is wrong with you?
Easy way, or hard way, Fargo?
We don't have much time.
Apparently, we don't have
much sanity, either.
I'm not crazy.
Says the guy
with crazy eyes
and the gun.
This will all make sense
once we stop the time loop.
Which one is it,
Fargo?
(SIGHS)
So much for my career.
There really was
a plug?
For the vacuum seal.
Now that it's broken,
so is the clock.
And all the plutonium?
Yeah, it's safe.
Okay, then.
Let's get married.
The past
is your present,
and your present will...
(HENRY SIGHS)
And the present will
become your future.
Sorry. There was a...
(CARTER SIGHING)
That is what love is:
Never-ending.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Now, before you
share your vows...
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
(GASPING)
(PANTING)
SARAH: I sense an abnormal
level of adrenaline
in your system.
That's because things keep
bleeding through.
Guys!
Carter. Bar fight?
No, actually, the flow
of time is changing.
This cut isn't from shaving.
I carried it through a
time loop that keeps affecting
um, something you said
I don't remember,
and, maybe, deleting us
from the universe.
So, just listen,
and don't call me...
Crazy?
That's not listening.
I heard you, but
do you really think
there's a possibility
that there's a break
in the space-time continuum,
and I don't know
about it but, um,
you do?
Does your ego even fit
in this building?
(EXCLAIMS) How many times
do I have to go through this
before I realize that you
can't change someone's mind?
Okay, uh, new tactic.
G.D. Has, um, a volcano guy,
a drone guy, even a poop guy.
Who is the time guy?
Weinbrenner.
Carter? Do what
you have to do,
but, please, don't be late
for the wedding,
and don't forget
the necklace.
Wait. Leo Weinbrenner?
The maintenance guy?
Yeah, that would be
time maintenance.
COMPUTER:
Dr. Allison Blake.
CARTER: All right.
Confirmed.
Okay, got to go.
Carter, uh,
I just left you a message.
Thorne called me in.
Yeah, I know.
She's gonna ask you
to redact some more people.
I figured you could
use the help.
(SIGHING) Not more layoffs.
What happened
to your face?
It's a long story
I don't think
you'll believe.
Can we have a private moment
for a second?
Can I talk to you?
Um, I wanted to talk to you
about something that
you told me once,
and I think it's,
uh, important...
Leo Weinbrenner,
confirmed.
Would you...
Leo! One second.
Just...
Sorry. Can I...
No, go ahead.
(LAUGHS)
Thanks.
You're in charge of time,
right? The guy
in the basement?
Was, until today.
Right. Um, I've been repeating
the same day, over and over.
I mean, is it possible?
Can time just loop around
like that?
You're asking the wrong guy.
I just oil the gears.
Look, okay...
Is there any reason why
Thorne would want to get rid
of you today?
So that you wouldn't
help us?
So that, uh,
you couldn't discover it?
I wouldn't put
anything past her.
She's up to something
with that new clock.
Don't know what,
but it can't be good.
Nothing that woman does
is good.
Anyhow, I'll, uh, sign
those redaction papers
whenever you bring them by.
Sure.
COMPUTER: Shelley Halverson,
confirmed.
I'll need all the calibrated
equipment in a truck by 5:00,
at the latest.
There's a time factor here,
and I don't want to miss
my window.
Sheriff. Eavesdropping
is a very nasty habit.
No, I'm just checking in.
You know, seeing
if there's anything
I can do for you, today.
As a matter of fact...
Oh, redactions! Oh, boy!
I love a good culling
of the herd.
Leo Weinbrenner?
Is there any particular
reason you're getting rid
of him today?
Dr. Stark is installing
a new clock
that performs
the same functions
as Weinbrenner does
without requiring
health care.
Sub-femtosecond,
huh? I'll bet
the Swiss are fuming.
By the way, I was wondering
if you wanted to be my date
to the wedding this evening.
I could
pick you up
around 5:00,
unless you're busy.
No, thanks. I think you heard
that I've got something
important pending.
Ah! Well,
you'll be missed.
No, I won't.
Speaking of work,
sorry I had to call you in.
Quarterly balance sheets
are due...
Balance sheets are due.
...on Monday,
and this can't wait.
Sheriff, make sure
she doesn't miss
her beautiful wedding.
What's that about?
You should have
invited her.
But, I mean,
he's your gorgeous
Dr. WHO!
(LAUGHS)
Oh, my God,
I love that show.
"World Health Organization."
He's an immunologist.
(STAMMERING)
Oh, no, I knew that.
Duncan's work
is everything to him.
I can't ask him
to give it all up
and move here just for me.
It's not just for you.
I didn't tell him, Zoe.
I want someone to be with me
for the right reasons.
Not the responsible ones.
Well, speaking of
responsible ones...
ZOE: Hey, Dad,
look who's here!
(EXCLAIMS) Hey, Lex!
Oh, three days early,
uh, cats in the guest room,
you look terrific!
Um, has anyone seen Henry?
He's not answering his phone.
Dad! Um, Aunt Lexi
wants to stay here
for a while.
Great. Um, I got a big
problem now, and I really
need to contact Henry.
Dad!
Yeah?
No, Zoe, it's okay.
He doesn't have time for me.
(LAUGHING) Come on, Lex.
You go away for six years,
and I'm the bad guy?
I was working.
I am working.
Um... Uh...
Look, once things
return to normal,
we can sit down,
we can have a nice,
long conversation...
Oh, great,
so you can give me
that speech about
how I need stability,
and I need to settle down
and get a real life?
I don't know. Maybe...
Well, I guess
my mistake was thinking
I could do that here.
(GROANING) Lex...
Way to go, Dad.
Oh, honey,
she's been doing this
her whole life.
She lives by her whims,
and then makes
everyone else's life crazy.
Aunt Lexi's pregnant.
She came to us
for help, because
that's what family is for.
(STAMMERS) Okay.
I'll fix it.
(WHIRRING)
Something big
down there, huh?
Seems, uh,
complicated.
It's very complicated,
Sheriff.
Would it have anything
to do with why you fired
Weinbrenner today?
Is it a coincidence
that you fire him
on the same day
that you have something
secretive to do out here
with all this, uh,
well-calibrated
equipment?
Say what's on
your mind, Sheriff.
Everyone in town
is at this sweet
little wedding,
except you.
And you're out here
manipulating time,
making us
repeat the same day
over and over,
and you don't know
how dangerous that is.
(LAUGHS) You're
wrong, Sheriff.
Maybe.
Mind if I see that?
Not at all.
What button do I press
to send myself
back to the shower?
(CLICKS BUTTON)
(GROANING)
SARAH: I'm sensing
broken bones, lacerations,
and contusions.
Shall I call 9-1-1?
(GROANING) I don't know.
Only if they can fix
a hole in the universe.
HENRY: Sit down.
So you say you, uh...
You came through with this?
Yeah, it's what Thorne used
to create the time loop.
No, this device is not
a time-control device.
This device is a geological
depth finder, kind of like
an MRI for rocks.
As a matter of fact,
why don't we see
what she was up to?
She was manipulating time,
probably using that clock
that Stark just hooked up.
No, no, no, no, no, these
are spatial measurements,
compartments
deep in solid rock.
And man-made.
Okay, well, then,
Weinbrenner.
Maybe she got me
to fire him so that
he wouldn't stop her.
Leo Weinbrenner?
You know him?
Yeah, we worked at NASA
together. He was
a temporal physicist
who was working
on the EPR Paradox.
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen...
Anyway, he had this theory
about bending light
in order to alter time,
which he almost got to work.
He lied to me.
He made me think it was
Thorne who was behind it.
It wasn't Thorne.
It was him.
Jack, bending time
is impossible.
He knew he was redacted
before Thorne
even told Allison.
COMPUTER:
Virginia Brown.
Confirmed.
Leo Weinbrenner. Confirmed.
Well,
I guess redaction
starts pretty early
around here.
See, Leo,
that's the problem.
It is too early,
and Thorne hasn't laid
anyone off yet.
So, how could you
know that?
I knew you were on to me
the last time through.
(WHISPERING) Then why
didn't you say something?
I was afraid
you'd shut me down.
Then I'd never have
a chance to fix it.
Tell me what you did.
Ultra Indigo. It's the closest
light frequency to pure black.
Strictly theoretical,
until now.
Oh, my God!
What is this?
Perfectly harmless.
Exactly what
Einstein theorized.
Am I getting
radiation poisoning
right now?
(LAUGHS) No.
See, any particle that
reflects Ultra Indigo
won't move along
with the normal spectrum.
So this Indigo stuff
created the time loop?
Nope. That's what this
particle decelerator is for.
A...
(SIGHING) Okay.
I'm lost.
Okay, I made
one photon of light
travel slower than
the speed of normal light.
Its reflection caused
a chain reaction
that made all light
travel slower,
back to an exact
point in time
that I chose.
So you made time
flow backwards?
Yeah. Only something
bathed in Ultra Indigo
wouldn't be affected.
So, that morning,
when I came into your lab...
I was sending
the photon back.
I stood in the
Ultra Indigo field
so that I would
stay the same
while the universe
traveled backward
around me.
But the light must've hit
you, too, and trapped you
in this day with me.
I'm so sorry.
So just make it
go forwards again.
Reset the photon thingy.
What do you think
I've been working on
in here every day?
And it just keeps
getting worse.
(SHIOCKED)
You don't know
how to reverse it?
Isn't that a little like
jumping out of a plane
and trying
to invent a parachute
before you hit the ground?
Look, I had to.
Hey, I was being redacted.
Thorne made it very clear
I had to vacate
the premises by 6:00 p.m.
She didn't even care
how close I was.
So, Leo, is this
time loop permanent?
Just until I figure out
how to get things
back to normal.
But I gave myself
all the time in the world.
10 hours at a time.
Or until the time wave
that split the sky
and broke my ribs
deletes everything
in the universe.
I didn't expect that
to happen.
I'm working
as fast as I can.
Okay. All right, you can
do that with, um, all this?
Almost. I've got
everything down,
except for the timer.
I haven't had time
to invent it yet.
Ironic, huh?
Well, how are you gonna...
I'm gonna use my baby,
the G.D. Clock.
I go in and manually
connect both devices
at the precise moment
of synchronicity with
the time-space continuum.
All goes well,
I come out normal,
and time will be
on its linear way.
Look, uh, Sheriff,
if this doesn't work,
I'm not
gonna be able to help you
the next time through.
It'll be Dr. Stark
that you need.
He'll never believe me.
Well, he will
if I teach you this.
Oh, dude.
The clock's calibrated to
link up with the accelerator
30 seconds from now.
COMPUTER: Sequence
commencing in 30 seconds.
We maybe got one more time
through the loop.
Two, tops, before things
start being deleted for good.
If I don't, uh...
Sequence commencing
in 20 seconds.
Just know that I never
meant any harm.
You'll get it right.
Sequence commencing
in 10 seconds.
Nine, eight, seven, six,
five, four, three,
two, one, zero.
(SHOWER RUNNING)
Leo.
No.
(GRUNTING) No! No!
(GROANING)
One more chance.
Weinbrenner died
trying to reaccelerate time.
Carter, you're crazy.
Fargo, tell him
why he's crazy.
Hold on!
(SINGING TO THE TUNE OF
TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR)
T times the square
of one minus V squared
Over C squared
where V is greater than C...
Wait a minute. "Where V
is greater than C."
(TO HIMSELF)
...over C squared,
where V is greater than C...
Yeah, "greater."
Yeah. Yeah, that's
the formula for breaking
the light-speed barrier.
Where'd you learn it?
Hey, we have a problem.
Leo Weinbrenner's
charred body was found
in the time maintenance room.
Henry's coming in
to do an autopsy.
Good. Good. He'll know
about the time loop.
Carter, you got a second?
One sec.
What? Do you want me
to sing another verse?
No.
(SOFTLY)
I believe you.
If what I'm looking at
is correct,
none of us
may make it through
the next time wave.
It's Allie's big day.
Keep this between us?
Sure.
So shouldn't you be
at a beauty parlor
or something?
What, is it 1960
and no one told me?
Um...
There's something I wanted
to say to you.
Um, I know that
you love Nathan,
and that you guys
have this history.
You're gonna have
a great future.
I think, this time,
we just might.
But, make sure
you get him to the
wedding on time.
Count on it.
Okay.
Weinbrenner jury-rigged
the old G.D. Clock
to the accelerator.
Yeah, he did it manually,
because he didn't have the
time to create a new timer.
I was here.
Well, there,
but I was here.
(SIGHING) Well,
it must not have been
accurate enough.
No, but yours is.
Uh, the new clock,
the one that the Swiss
are fuming about.
Carter, sometimes
you're smarter
than you look.
Fargo, we have
an important delivery
to supervise.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
(SIGHS)
Hey, Zo!
She is? Wow. Uh...
Cats, yeah.
Just put them
in the guest room,
and if you guys
could go to Cafe Diem...
Yeah, I'm gonna be
a little busy later,
but, um,
I don't want to miss
spending time with you.
Okay.
ZOE: But, I mean,
he's your gorgeous
Dr. WHO!
Oh, my God,
I love that show.
No, "World
Health Organization."
Oh!
Hi, guys.
Dad! What happened
to your face?
No, I'm all right.
Um, Duncan
is an immunologist.
He and Lexi spent the
last six years traveling
around doing, uh,
good things.
(STUTTERING)
No, I knew that.
Here I thought
you never read
my letters.
No!
What happened?
Did you crash your
Big Wheel again?
Nice.
I missed you, Monkey.
Yeah, I missed you,
too, Stretch.
You haven't called me that
since I was 12 years old.
Well, you used to hate it.
Yeah, because I was
this tall in seventh grade.
All right, fair enough.
You know, I'm glad
you came early.
It's good to be able
to see you before the...
Before what?
Um, before the wedding.
Love weddings!
They're final, yet festive,
like funerals with champagne.
Um, I got something
to take care of.
Just thought I'd come by
and say, uh,
that I love you guys.
Since when
have you become
this self-aware?
I can learn,
it just takes me a few tries.
And, uh,
you guys helped.
Well, that's
what family's for.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
It is.
Oh, uh, just...
Ditch Grandma Lil
for me.
What if
none of this
is true?
What if
we accelerate a photon
beyond the speed of light,
and it ends up
creating a time hole and
destroying the universe?
We have
two choices, Fargo.
Either we trust Carter,
or we don't.
Guys, we close?
Yeah, this new clock should
synch up with the accelerator,
theoretically.
I did what I could
to shore up the
vacuum seal,
but it's
really not meant
for this kind of use.
CARTER: All right.
It's almost six.
All right, Fargo.
Start her up.
If the seal holds,
we accelerate the photon,
and time gets back to normal.
(MACHINE POWERING DOWN)
What happened?
We lost the seal.
We can't synch the clock.
What do we do?
We do it manually.
From inside? Like
what Weinbrenner tried?
We've got less
than 60 seconds.
I'll do it. Tell me
what I need to know.
I can't teach you a song
for this one, Carter.
It's a little too complicated.
(SIGHS)
But not for me.
I know how.
I'll do it.
I always knew
you had it
in you, Fargo.
I didn't.
But I helped build
this thing, and we
only got one shot.
Go synch me up, okay?
Are you sure?
What about Allie?
What if you can't...
Course, I can.
My ego's bigger than
the building, remember?
30 seconds.
You got
the necklace, right?
Yeah, I do.
Well, make sure
she gets it,
and that she knows
I did this for her.
(BREATHES TREMULOUSLY)
And take care of her,
Carter. She'll need you.
Dr. Stark.
Keep pushing
buttons, Fargo.
COMPUTER: Sequence
commencing in 20 seconds.
Sequence commencing
in 10 seconds.
I'll see you around, Jack.
Nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four,
three, two, one, zero.
He did it!
You did it!
We're moving forward!
Yeah.
We are.
He's gone?
He's really gone?
I can't have any,
because of Baby Carter,
but don't let that stop you.
You know, the French
give their children
wine with dinner.
Yeah, well, Dad's
never been to France.
Dad!
You're late.
What happened?
(GRUNTS SOFTLY)
(WHISPERING) Okay.
Hey!
Uh, you ready?
(CHUCKLES)
Momentous, huh?
Yeah.
I'll always be
here for you.
You know that, right?
No matter what.
Are you okay?
You look pale.
Carter.
Where's Nathan?
(GASPING)
SARAH: Yes, Sheriff.
(EXCLAIMING) Warm water!
Sorry, Sheriff.
(SQUIRTING AIR)
Forget it.
I sense a high level
of adrenaline in your system.
Is something
bothering you today?
I'm perfectly fine.
High adrenaline can cause
physical and psychological
reactions.
(GASPS)
Bandage?
I want to look good
at the wedding.
Good thing you're
not the groom.
What kind of Type A bride
works the morning
of her wedding?
Nice cut.
Thanks.
There is a condiment
dispenser in the refrigerator.
Uh, that's all right.
I like the bottle.
And, I don't know.
She called me up,
said she needed my help.
So, you jumped,
like always.
No, I didn't.
Dad, you're walking the woman
you possibly love down the
aisle to marry another guy.
Okay, first, not true,
and, second, since when
do you and I talk
about this stuff?
Since I'm 17,
and you're in denial.
I'm fine.
Are you really
this hopelessly
un-self-aware?
That's my last clean shirt.
Yeah.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
There's an unexpected
visitor at the door.
It's Auntie Lex!
Three days early! Wow!
Shall I let her in?
No!
Yes!
Hello?
(EXCLAIMS) Zoe!
(GASPING) You look
like a supermodel.
Every father's nightmare.
(CATS MEWING)
I love your hair,
and your cats.
Hmm? Oh! A Tibetan monk
told me that tabby is a
reincarnation of Grandma Lil.
Jackie!
(GASPS) You look
just like Dad.
Always ready,
Hey!
Always prepared,
always uptight.
(STUTTERING) I thought
you weren't coming
till Tuesday.
My Seattle chakra conference
ended early,
and Saturday travel,
always best for Geminis.
Right. Well, glad to see you.
If you could put the cats
in the guest room,
and I'll see you
at the wedding, sweetie.
Nice to see you,
too, Monkey.
Monkey?
Don't call me that!
Weddings! I love weddings.
Okay, be careful with
Grandma, she's in heat.
(CATS MEWING)
Mmm, mmm.
CARTER: Shouldn't you be at
a beauty parlor or something?
What? Is it 1960
and no one told me? Relax.
We've both done this before.
I mean, separately,
but...
Yeah, but getting married
isn't like riding a bike
or returning dry cleaning.
I mean, getting married
should be
momentous!
Well, redaction is
momentous, too,
but I owe it
to these people
to see them through it.
Big day. Nervous?
(LAUGHING) I'm not
a first-time bride.
Sorry I had to call you in,
but quarterly balance sheets
are due Monday.
This couldn't wait.
Another set
of layoffs?
There's over
a dozen people here.
Good thing you called
in the cavalry.
Blood stain?
(STUTTERING) Oh, no,
breakfast.
It's Saturday,
it's my last clean shirt,
so...
This is gonna take hours.
Time's a-wasting.
Wouldn't want to miss
your beautiful wedding.
You didn't invite her,
did you?
No.
CARTER: Look, this whole
redaction thing sucks.
I'd like to see the Fixer
cleaning up excrement.
Look, Lincoln,
um, for what it's worth,
we all know
that you're the best, um,
excrement guy around.
Just remember,
today at 6:00 p.m.,
your badge is disabled.
I'm sorry.
I've been in Eureka
for eight years.
Kinda hard to go back
to the PETCO in Pacoima,
you know?
Yeah, well,
it's been a hard day
for a lot of good people.
Carter! Bar fight?
Take care.
(CLEARING THROAT) Shouldn't
you be at the beauty parlor?
It is your big day.
Supervising an important
delivery.
Time-sensitive.
Guys!
Do you need
something, Carter?
Guys?
Yeah, I need to find, uh,
Maintenance. Last guy
on my list is, um...
Uh, Weinbrenner.
Basement.
Just do
whatever you have
to do, but, please,
don't be late to the wedding,
and don't forget the necklace.
(GROANING) I can't believe
she's marrying him again.
(SIGHING) I can't believe
she asked him to walk her
down the aisle.
Weinbrenner?
Leo Weinbrenner?
Anyone here?
(GROANING) Wow.
(LAUGHING) All right.
You just bought yourself
an extra day.
(GROANING) Holy...
You're late.
Yeah, I had to redact 12
people, and then find a tie.
The necklace?
What necklace?
One of a kind,
just like Allie.
Don't screw it up.
You know, the French
give their children
wine with dinner.
Yeah, well, Dad's never
been to France.
Okay, if I told you
what your father
was doing at your age...
He would kill you.
(SNICKERS) That's
what aunts are for.
(TOASTS IN FRENCH)
Zoe!
Nice, Lex.
You're late.
I met your sister.
Yeah, arrest her
for corrupting a minor.
Wow.
Momentous, huh?
Yeah.
Are you okay?
You look pale.
That's the white tent.
Allison, um,
there's something
that I wanted to say.
Um, something
you should know.
I'll always be
here for you,
no matter what.
Everything's gonna work out
the way it's supposed to.
(CLASSICAL GUITARS
PLAYING WEDDING MARCH)
Love is timeless,
transcending
everything we know,
everything we understand,
and giving us strength
and comfort forever.
What is past is now present,
and what is present
will become your future.
That is what love is:
Never-ending.
Now, before you
share your vows,
if there is anyone here
who knows why these two
should not be joined together,
speak now, or forever
hold your peace.
(THUNDER CLAPPING)
Whoa!
(SIGHING) What the hell?
Warm!
SARAH: Yes, Sheriff.
I sense a high level
of adrenaline in your system.
I'm fine, just
a weird dream.
High adrenaline can cause
physical and psychological
reactions.
Perfectly...
Ow.
(GROANS)
Bandage?
SARAH?
Yes, Sheriff?
Is the wedding today?
Yes, at 6:00 p.m.
Good thing
you're not the groom.
Is something bothering you?
Yeah.
Feels like I was
already there.
Nice cut.
Why are you
dressed for work?
Uh, Allison called.
Said she needed my help.
(LAUGHS) What kind of Type A
bride works the morning
of her wedding?
SARAH made
eggs. Mmm?
Yeah, thanks.
Dad, is something wrong?
Yeah, I'm a little...
I'm a little thrown.
Well, no wonder. I mean,
you're walking the woman
you possibly love
down the aisle
to marry another guy.
And since when do you and I
talk about that stuff, huh?
Since I'm 17.
You're in denial.
Oops!
That's my last clean shirt.
Sorry.
There's an unexpected
visitor at the door.
Lex.
How did you know?
Shall I let her in?
Yes!
Hello!
(GASPS) Zoe! You look
like a supermodel,
every father's nightmare.
You look amazing!
I love your hair.
(CAT MEWING)
And your cats.
Jackie!
Hey!
You look
just like Dad.
(STUTTERING) And, uh,
your tabby looks
like Grandma Lil.
I thought you were
coming on Tuesday?
Oh, my Seattle chakra
conference ended early...
And Geminis
travel best on Saturday.
(LAUGHS)
Okay.
If you could put the cats
in the guest room, I got to
figure something out.
I'll see you at
the wedding.
Wedding? I love
weddings!
I can't explain it.
I just feel like
I've done all this before.
(LAUGHS) We've both
done this before,
separately.
No, not the wedding. I mean,
not just the wedding.
It's the ketchup, my sister,
this conversation...
Big day. Nervous?
Oh, she's not
a first-time bride.
I'm sorry to call you in.
These quarterly balance sheets
are due Monday.
They can't wait.
Another set of layoffs?
There's over a dozen
people on this.
Good thing
you called in
the cavalry.
Blood stain?
Uh, breakfast.
Time's a-wasting.
Wouldn't want you to miss
your beautiful wedding.
See? I knew she was
gonna say that.
(SIGHS)
You have to believe me.
I've done this before.
Carter, no more advice.
This is gonna take hours.
If we don't start now,
I'm gonna be late
to my own wedding.
Guys?
Carter! Bar fight?
No. I got a problem.
All right, Carter, look,
do what you have to do,
but just please,
don't be late for the wedding,
don't forget the necklace.
This isn't about the necklace.
Something's wrong with today.
You walking Allie
down the aisle?
This isn't about the wedding
or whether or not I think
it's a mistake.
Ah! Now
it's a mistake.
Yeah, um, we're supervising an
important delivery here, so...
Yeah, you know,
so why don't I just
do it myself?
Carter,
we're getting married.
She said yes.
No, I know.
I felt it.
I mean, I was there
the first time. Second...
The first
second time.
What is wrong with you?
This isn't about
the wedding.
This is about
time repeating.
(SIGHING)
I mean, can it happen?
A time loop? The same day,
over and over?
No. Time flows
in one direction.
If time were
to fold back upon itself,
it would affect causality.
It would delete us from
the time-space continuum.
(WHISPERS) Okay.
Carter.
It's Allie's big day.
Don't screw it up.
All right.
The last time
I had moo goo gai pan,
I was in a hut in Canton.
I thought we were
gonna get to meet
the future Mr. Lexi.
Oh, he had, uh,
visa troubles.
Duncan is her
gorgeous Dr. WHO.
Oh, my God!
I love that show!
Oh, no,
"World Health Organization."
He's an immunologist.
(STAMMERING) Oh...
I knew that.
ZOE: Hey, Dad.
Hey! Um, did you see me
sleepwalking last night?
Or talking?
Anything odd?
Nice to see you,
too, Monkey.
Don't call me that.
Oh. He's just nervous
about the wedding.
No, I'm not,
and don't call me that.
Can I get
two banana milkshakes?
Bananas calm Monkey down.
VINCENT: Coming right up.
There have been
documented cases
of repetitive cognizance
brought on
by extreme psychophobia
of a certain upcoming event.
So, tell me,
what's my, uh,
psychophobia?
Okay, uh, this Allison,
Mmm.
You like her,
right?
Yeah.
Can't stand the thought
of her with another guy
forever?
(EQUIVOCALLY)
Well, I mean...
Okay, let's say
I'm conflicted.
Have you told her?
Okay, there's your problem,
Sheriff "I'm-Not-a-Sharer."
So I'm stuck in this day
until I tell her how I feel?
Mmm, you can't just tell her.
You have to kiss her.
It's the only way to know,
on a truly cellular level,
if your energies
are meant to combine.
There's a science
to this love stuff.
But, you know, why start
taking my advice now?
Honestly? Because you
are the only one
who believes me.
That's what family's for.
Carter! You can't
go in there.
(EXHALES)
Carter...
(CLEARS THROAT)
Carter, you're early.
Yeah, and you're...
Not ready.
(GROANS)
Are you okay?
You look pale.
I'm not, uh,
(STAMMERING)
A "sharer."
(SIGHING)
Hey. What is it?
(SIGHING)
So, you thought
that coming here
and doing that,
right before the wedding,
that that's a good idea?
No. My sister did.
Look, I'm not
gonna deny that...
That, you know, maybe...
(STUTTERING) It just...
It didn't work out that way.
(SOFTLY) I love Nathan.
We have a history.
And, and you and I
could've had a future...
You'll always be
my friend.
My true friend.
I'll always be
here for you.
You know that,
right?
I mean,
no matter what.
Everything's gonna work out
the way it's supposed to.
And, now, before you
share your vows,
if there is anyone here
who knows why these two
should not be joined together,
speak now, or forever
hold your peace.
(THUNDER CRASHING)
(EXCLAIMS)
SARAH: I sense a high level
of adrenaline in your system.
Is something
bothering you today?
I think today
is yesterday.
Again.
Saturday again!
Again?
Allison called. I mean,
what kind of Type A bride
works the morning
of her wedding?
Hmm.
SARAH made eggs. I know
you like the bottle.
Not today.
You didn't shave.
Safety precaution.
Oh, you are freaked out
about the wedding.
You're right!
And I'm totally self-aware.
You and I should talk more
now that you're 17,
but right now
I got to check out a theory
I just came up with.
In the bathroom?
You'd be surprised what
happens to me in there.
I think Aunt Lexi's coming
today with two cats.
They should go directly
to the guest room,
and get to know the tabby.
You might be related.
I'll see you
at the wedding.
Got to go stop time.
And drinking age is 21.
Supervising an
important delivery?
Carter.
Time-sensitive, Fargo?
Uh, yeah, I guess
you could say that.
Could you also say that
that's a device that could
have created a time loop
that I've been living in
for the last three days?
Fargo, tell him
what it is.
Uh, it's our new
sub-femtosecond
atomic clock
that'll make G.D.
The constant for time
in all the known universe.
Those Swiss guys
are really fuming.
And today's the day
you plug it in.
It runs on unstable
plutonium neutrons,
not AC.
Isn't that unstable?
Well, of course,
'cause if they were stable,
they would split during...
Why am I explaining this?
Don't ask why,
just don't take that thing
out of its container
until after your wedding.
Okay, we'll trust your gut,
and miss
our only sync window
between now and 2036.
Not! Um, we're
ready to move.
Don't do this!
We're all stuck in some
weird time thing where
things keep repeating.
Yeah, and only
you remember it.
Carter, this is
a very important project.
Don't screw it up.
Allison's Director
of Operations.
Why don't you ask her to
cancel synchronization?
Well, because you'd
still have to approve.
And I won't.
This clock gives G.D.
Universal ownership of time.
I know. I know,
and the Swiss are fuming,
but if you plug this thing in,
we'll be doomed
to repeat this day forever.
The happiest day
of my life?
Sorry I had to call you in,
but quarterly balance
sheets...
Yeah, quarterly balance...
Look, forget it.
If we don't stop that clock
from turning on, you'll have
the rest of eternity to
redact those 20 people.
You said "a few
nonessentials."
Time's a-wasting.
Don't want you to miss
your beautiful wedding.
(SIGHING)
You should have invited her.
Carter, what is
wrong with you?
Nothing.
Nothing
you'll remember.
We just need to stop
that new clock.
You're making me nervous.
I just want to get
through this.
Well, you won't.
We're gonna do this
again, and again,
unless right before 6:00,
I unplug that clock,
and then, this horrible
day'll be over.
Look, I know that you think
that I'm making a mistake,
(STAMMERING)
And I am touched that
you care so much about me.
Of course I...
I just need you to
be there for me today.
Well, I'll always
be there for you.
And if I am
late tonight,
just know that I was
fixing something
that's broken.
Everything's gonna work out
the way it's supposed to.
(SNORTS SOFTLY)
(WARBLING)
(BEEPING STEADILY)
So, 6:00 p.m? That's when
this thing goes off?
That's when
the official switchover
from Greenwich happens.
But, now, it is time
to get married.
(DEVICE WARBLING)
In some cultures,
teenagers are guided through
mind-altering experiences
by trustworthy elders
to expand their
consciousness.
Well, in this culture,
the drinking age is 21.
French give their children
wine with dinner.
Yeah, Dad's never
been to France.
If we're late
to the wedding, I wonder
who will kill us first,
Dr. Stark or Dr. Blake?
Well, nothing
matters now but
unplugging this unstable
plutonium thing.
Thought you said we were here
to take emergency readouts
for Thorne?
I lied. Turn it off.
No.
Now.
What is wrong with you?
Easy way, or hard way, Fargo?
We don't have much time.
Apparently, we don't have
much sanity, either.
I'm not crazy.
Says the guy
with crazy eyes
and the gun.
This will all make sense
once we stop the time loop.
Which one is it,
Fargo?
(SIGHS)
So much for my career.
There really was
a plug?
For the vacuum seal.
Now that it's broken,
so is the clock.
And all the plutonium?
Yeah, it's safe.
Okay, then.
Let's get married.
The past
is your present,
and your present will...
(HENRY SIGHS)
And the present will
become your future.
Sorry. There was a...
(CARTER SIGHING)
That is what love is:
Never-ending.
(THUNDER RUMBLING)
Now, before you
share your vows...
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
(GASPING)
(PANTING)
SARAH: I sense an abnormal
level of adrenaline
in your system.
That's because things keep
bleeding through.
Guys!
Carter. Bar fight?
No, actually, the flow
of time is changing.
This cut isn't from shaving.
I carried it through a
time loop that keeps affecting
um, something you said
I don't remember,
and, maybe, deleting us
from the universe.
So, just listen,
and don't call me...
Crazy?
That's not listening.
I heard you, but
do you really think
there's a possibility
that there's a break
in the space-time continuum,
and I don't know
about it but, um,
you do?
Does your ego even fit
in this building?
(EXCLAIMS) How many times
do I have to go through this
before I realize that you
can't change someone's mind?
Okay, uh, new tactic.
G.D. Has, um, a volcano guy,
a drone guy, even a poop guy.
Who is the time guy?
Weinbrenner.
Carter? Do what
you have to do,
but, please, don't be late
for the wedding,
and don't forget
the necklace.
Wait. Leo Weinbrenner?
The maintenance guy?
Yeah, that would be
time maintenance.
COMPUTER:
Dr. Allison Blake.
CARTER: All right.
Confirmed.
Okay, got to go.
Carter, uh,
I just left you a message.
Thorne called me in.
Yeah, I know.
She's gonna ask you
to redact some more people.
I figured you could
use the help.
(SIGHING) Not more layoffs.
What happened
to your face?
It's a long story
I don't think
you'll believe.
Can we have a private moment
for a second?
Can I talk to you?
Um, I wanted to talk to you
about something that
you told me once,
and I think it's,
uh, important...
Leo Weinbrenner,
confirmed.
Would you...
Leo! One second.
Just...
Sorry. Can I...
No, go ahead.
(LAUGHS)
Thanks.
You're in charge of time,
right? The guy
in the basement?
Was, until today.
Right. Um, I've been repeating
the same day, over and over.
I mean, is it possible?
Can time just loop around
like that?
You're asking the wrong guy.
I just oil the gears.
Look, okay...
Is there any reason why
Thorne would want to get rid
of you today?
So that you wouldn't
help us?
So that, uh,
you couldn't discover it?
I wouldn't put
anything past her.
She's up to something
with that new clock.
Don't know what,
but it can't be good.
Nothing that woman does
is good.
Anyhow, I'll, uh, sign
those redaction papers
whenever you bring them by.
Sure.
COMPUTER: Shelley Halverson,
confirmed.
I'll need all the calibrated
equipment in a truck by 5:00,
at the latest.
There's a time factor here,
and I don't want to miss
my window.
Sheriff. Eavesdropping
is a very nasty habit.
No, I'm just checking in.
You know, seeing
if there's anything
I can do for you, today.
As a matter of fact...
Oh, redactions! Oh, boy!
I love a good culling
of the herd.
Leo Weinbrenner?
Is there any particular
reason you're getting rid
of him today?
Dr. Stark is installing
a new clock
that performs
the same functions
as Weinbrenner does
without requiring
health care.
Sub-femtosecond,
huh? I'll bet
the Swiss are fuming.
By the way, I was wondering
if you wanted to be my date
to the wedding this evening.
I could
pick you up
around 5:00,
unless you're busy.
No, thanks. I think you heard
that I've got something
important pending.
Ah! Well,
you'll be missed.
No, I won't.
Speaking of work,
sorry I had to call you in.
Quarterly balance sheets
are due...
Balance sheets are due.
...on Monday,
and this can't wait.
Sheriff, make sure
she doesn't miss
her beautiful wedding.
What's that about?
You should have
invited her.
But, I mean,
he's your gorgeous
Dr. WHO!
(LAUGHS)
Oh, my God,
I love that show.
"World Health Organization."
He's an immunologist.
(STAMMERING)
Oh, no, I knew that.
Duncan's work
is everything to him.
I can't ask him
to give it all up
and move here just for me.
It's not just for you.
I didn't tell him, Zoe.
I want someone to be with me
for the right reasons.
Not the responsible ones.
Well, speaking of
responsible ones...
ZOE: Hey, Dad,
look who's here!
(EXCLAIMS) Hey, Lex!
Oh, three days early,
uh, cats in the guest room,
you look terrific!
Um, has anyone seen Henry?
He's not answering his phone.
Dad! Um, Aunt Lexi
wants to stay here
for a while.
Great. Um, I got a big
problem now, and I really
need to contact Henry.
Dad!
Yeah?
No, Zoe, it's okay.
He doesn't have time for me.
(LAUGHING) Come on, Lex.
You go away for six years,
and I'm the bad guy?
I was working.
I am working.
Um... Uh...
Look, once things
return to normal,
we can sit down,
we can have a nice,
long conversation...
Oh, great,
so you can give me
that speech about
how I need stability,
and I need to settle down
and get a real life?
I don't know. Maybe...
Well, I guess
my mistake was thinking
I could do that here.
(GROANING) Lex...
Way to go, Dad.
Oh, honey,
she's been doing this
her whole life.
She lives by her whims,
and then makes
everyone else's life crazy.
Aunt Lexi's pregnant.
She came to us
for help, because
that's what family is for.
(STAMMERS) Okay.
I'll fix it.
(WHIRRING)
Something big
down there, huh?
Seems, uh,
complicated.
It's very complicated,
Sheriff.
Would it have anything
to do with why you fired
Weinbrenner today?
Is it a coincidence
that you fire him
on the same day
that you have something
secretive to do out here
with all this, uh,
well-calibrated
equipment?
Say what's on
your mind, Sheriff.
Everyone in town
is at this sweet
little wedding,
except you.
And you're out here
manipulating time,
making us
repeat the same day
over and over,
and you don't know
how dangerous that is.
(LAUGHS) You're
wrong, Sheriff.
Maybe.
Mind if I see that?
Not at all.
What button do I press
to send myself
back to the shower?
(CLICKS BUTTON)
(GROANING)
SARAH: I'm sensing
broken bones, lacerations,
and contusions.
Shall I call 9-1-1?
(GROANING) I don't know.
Only if they can fix
a hole in the universe.
HENRY: Sit down.
So you say you, uh...
You came through with this?
Yeah, it's what Thorne used
to create the time loop.
No, this device is not
a time-control device.
This device is a geological
depth finder, kind of like
an MRI for rocks.
As a matter of fact,
why don't we see
what she was up to?
She was manipulating time,
probably using that clock
that Stark just hooked up.
No, no, no, no, no, these
are spatial measurements,
compartments
deep in solid rock.
And man-made.
Okay, well, then,
Weinbrenner.
Maybe she got me
to fire him so that
he wouldn't stop her.
Leo Weinbrenner?
You know him?
Yeah, we worked at NASA
together. He was
a temporal physicist
who was working
on the EPR Paradox.
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen...
Anyway, he had this theory
about bending light
in order to alter time,
which he almost got to work.
He lied to me.
He made me think it was
Thorne who was behind it.
It wasn't Thorne.
It was him.
Jack, bending time
is impossible.
He knew he was redacted
before Thorne
even told Allison.
COMPUTER:
Virginia Brown.
Confirmed.
Leo Weinbrenner. Confirmed.
Well,
I guess redaction
starts pretty early
around here.
See, Leo,
that's the problem.
It is too early,
and Thorne hasn't laid
anyone off yet.
So, how could you
know that?
I knew you were on to me
the last time through.
(WHISPERING) Then why
didn't you say something?
I was afraid
you'd shut me down.
Then I'd never have
a chance to fix it.
Tell me what you did.
Ultra Indigo. It's the closest
light frequency to pure black.
Strictly theoretical,
until now.
Oh, my God!
What is this?
Perfectly harmless.
Exactly what
Einstein theorized.
Am I getting
radiation poisoning
right now?
(LAUGHS) No.
See, any particle that
reflects Ultra Indigo
won't move along
with the normal spectrum.
So this Indigo stuff
created the time loop?
Nope. That's what this
particle decelerator is for.
A...
(SIGHING) Okay.
I'm lost.
Okay, I made
one photon of light
travel slower than
the speed of normal light.
Its reflection caused
a chain reaction
that made all light
travel slower,
back to an exact
point in time
that I chose.
So you made time
flow backwards?
Yeah. Only something
bathed in Ultra Indigo
wouldn't be affected.
So, that morning,
when I came into your lab...
I was sending
the photon back.
I stood in the
Ultra Indigo field
so that I would
stay the same
while the universe
traveled backward
around me.
But the light must've hit
you, too, and trapped you
in this day with me.
I'm so sorry.
So just make it
go forwards again.
Reset the photon thingy.
What do you think
I've been working on
in here every day?
And it just keeps
getting worse.
(SHIOCKED)
You don't know
how to reverse it?
Isn't that a little like
jumping out of a plane
and trying
to invent a parachute
before you hit the ground?
Look, I had to.
Hey, I was being redacted.
Thorne made it very clear
I had to vacate
the premises by 6:00 p.m.
She didn't even care
how close I was.
So, Leo, is this
time loop permanent?
Just until I figure out
how to get things
back to normal.
But I gave myself
all the time in the world.
10 hours at a time.
Or until the time wave
that split the sky
and broke my ribs
deletes everything
in the universe.
I didn't expect that
to happen.
I'm working
as fast as I can.
Okay. All right, you can
do that with, um, all this?
Almost. I've got
everything down,
except for the timer.
I haven't had time
to invent it yet.
Ironic, huh?
Well, how are you gonna...
I'm gonna use my baby,
the G.D. Clock.
I go in and manually
connect both devices
at the precise moment
of synchronicity with
the time-space continuum.
All goes well,
I come out normal,
and time will be
on its linear way.
Look, uh, Sheriff,
if this doesn't work,
I'm not
gonna be able to help you
the next time through.
It'll be Dr. Stark
that you need.
He'll never believe me.
Well, he will
if I teach you this.
Oh, dude.
The clock's calibrated to
link up with the accelerator
30 seconds from now.
COMPUTER: Sequence
commencing in 30 seconds.
We maybe got one more time
through the loop.
Two, tops, before things
start being deleted for good.
If I don't, uh...
Sequence commencing
in 20 seconds.
Just know that I never
meant any harm.
You'll get it right.
Sequence commencing
in 10 seconds.
Nine, eight, seven, six,
five, four, three,
two, one, zero.
(SHOWER RUNNING)
Leo.
No.
(GRUNTING) No! No!
(GROANING)
One more chance.
Weinbrenner died
trying to reaccelerate time.
Carter, you're crazy.
Fargo, tell him
why he's crazy.
Hold on!
(SINGING TO THE TUNE OF
TWINKLE, TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR)
T times the square
of one minus V squared
Over C squared
where V is greater than C...
Wait a minute. "Where V
is greater than C."
(TO HIMSELF)
...over C squared,
where V is greater than C...
Yeah, "greater."
Yeah. Yeah, that's
the formula for breaking
the light-speed barrier.
Where'd you learn it?
Hey, we have a problem.
Leo Weinbrenner's
charred body was found
in the time maintenance room.
Henry's coming in
to do an autopsy.
Good. Good. He'll know
about the time loop.
Carter, you got a second?
One sec.
What? Do you want me
to sing another verse?
No.
(SOFTLY)
I believe you.
If what I'm looking at
is correct,
none of us
may make it through
the next time wave.
It's Allie's big day.
Keep this between us?
Sure.
So shouldn't you be
at a beauty parlor
or something?
What, is it 1960
and no one told me?
Um...
There's something I wanted
to say to you.
Um, I know that
you love Nathan,
and that you guys
have this history.
You're gonna have
a great future.
I think, this time,
we just might.
But, make sure
you get him to the
wedding on time.
Count on it.
Okay.
Weinbrenner jury-rigged
the old G.D. Clock
to the accelerator.
Yeah, he did it manually,
because he didn't have the
time to create a new timer.
I was here.
Well, there,
but I was here.
(SIGHING) Well,
it must not have been
accurate enough.
No, but yours is.
Uh, the new clock,
the one that the Swiss
are fuming about.
Carter, sometimes
you're smarter
than you look.
Fargo, we have
an important delivery
to supervise.
(CELL PHONE RINGING)
(SIGHS)
Hey, Zo!
She is? Wow. Uh...
Cats, yeah.
Just put them
in the guest room,
and if you guys
could go to Cafe Diem...
Yeah, I'm gonna be
a little busy later,
but, um,
I don't want to miss
spending time with you.
Okay.
ZOE: But, I mean,
he's your gorgeous
Dr. WHO!
Oh, my God,
I love that show.
No, "World
Health Organization."
Oh!
Hi, guys.
Dad! What happened
to your face?
No, I'm all right.
Um, Duncan
is an immunologist.
He and Lexi spent the
last six years traveling
around doing, uh,
good things.
(STUTTERING)
No, I knew that.
Here I thought
you never read
my letters.
No!
What happened?
Did you crash your
Big Wheel again?
Nice.
I missed you, Monkey.
Yeah, I missed you,
too, Stretch.
You haven't called me that
since I was 12 years old.
Well, you used to hate it.
Yeah, because I was
this tall in seventh grade.
All right, fair enough.
You know, I'm glad
you came early.
It's good to be able
to see you before the...
Before what?
Um, before the wedding.
Love weddings!
They're final, yet festive,
like funerals with champagne.
Um, I got something
to take care of.
Just thought I'd come by
and say, uh,
that I love you guys.
Since when
have you become
this self-aware?
I can learn,
it just takes me a few tries.
And, uh,
you guys helped.
Well, that's
what family's for.
(LAUGHS) Yeah.
It is.
Oh, uh, just...
Ditch Grandma Lil
for me.
What if
none of this
is true?
What if
we accelerate a photon
beyond the speed of light,
and it ends up
creating a time hole and
destroying the universe?
We have
two choices, Fargo.
Either we trust Carter,
or we don't.
Guys, we close?
Yeah, this new clock should
synch up with the accelerator,
theoretically.
I did what I could
to shore up the
vacuum seal,
but it's
really not meant
for this kind of use.
CARTER: All right.
It's almost six.
All right, Fargo.
Start her up.
If the seal holds,
we accelerate the photon,
and time gets back to normal.
(MACHINE POWERING DOWN)
What happened?
We lost the seal.
We can't synch the clock.
What do we do?
We do it manually.
From inside? Like
what Weinbrenner tried?
We've got less
than 60 seconds.
I'll do it. Tell me
what I need to know.
I can't teach you a song
for this one, Carter.
It's a little too complicated.
(SIGHS)
But not for me.
I know how.
I'll do it.
I always knew
you had it
in you, Fargo.
I didn't.
But I helped build
this thing, and we
only got one shot.
Go synch me up, okay?
Are you sure?
What about Allie?
What if you can't...
Course, I can.
My ego's bigger than
the building, remember?
30 seconds.
You got
the necklace, right?
Yeah, I do.
Well, make sure
she gets it,
and that she knows
I did this for her.
(BREATHES TREMULOUSLY)
And take care of her,
Carter. She'll need you.
Dr. Stark.
Keep pushing
buttons, Fargo.
COMPUTER: Sequence
commencing in 20 seconds.
Sequence commencing
in 10 seconds.
I'll see you around, Jack.
Nine, eight, seven,
six, five, four,
three, two, one, zero.
He did it!
You did it!
We're moving forward!
Yeah.
We are.
He's gone?
He's really gone?
I can't have any,
because of Baby Carter,
but don't let that stop you.
You know, the French
give their children
wine with dinner.
Yeah, well, Dad's
never been to France.
Dad!
You're late.
What happened?
(GRUNTS SOFTLY)
(WHISPERING) Okay.
Hey!
Uh, you ready?
(CHUCKLES)
Momentous, huh?
Yeah.
I'll always be
here for you.
You know that, right?
No matter what.
Are you okay?
You look pale.
Carter.
Where's Nathan?
(GASPING)
