What happens when two engineers accidentally invent time travel in a garage? Primer (2004), directed by Shane Carruth, is a minimalist, brain-twisting sci-fi thriller that explores the ethical and psychological unraveling of its protagonists. With a shoestring budget and a script that refuses to dumb things down, this cult classic challenges viewers to piece together its intricate timeline and moral ambiguity.

00:32:43TranscriptionWords
00:32:45Why not the lottery?
00:33:07Well, we can if you want.
00:33:08That's not till Saturday.
00:33:09But even if we win the full 10 million,
00:33:11it's only a couple hundred thousand a year for what?
00:33:12The next 30 years?
00:33:13Only.
00:33:15And that's just one good trade.
00:33:16A couple days like this.
00:33:18I was just running a test.
00:33:19In and out.
00:33:20Okay.
00:33:20Well, I want to do what you did.
00:33:21Okay?
00:33:22Exactly what you did.
00:33:23Okay.
00:33:23The first thing I did is call in sick.
00:33:25Okay.
00:33:26I did that.
00:33:26And then I drove to the storage facility.
00:33:28Okay.
00:33:28But I need to drop Lauren off at school first.
00:33:30Okay.
00:33:30Then meet me there.
00:33:31We're going to need both cars.
00:33:33But we need to park yours way down the road outside of the facility.
00:33:35Wait.
00:33:36Why?
00:33:36Why are we doing that?
00:33:37Because we need a ride home.
00:33:39What is this?
00:33:39No.
00:33:40It'll make sense.
00:33:40Okay.
00:33:41No.
00:33:41I'll be patient.
00:33:42When I got to the storage room, I flooded the box with Argon, and then I had to tighten
00:33:48it up to secure the leaks.
00:33:50There's leaks?
00:33:52There's always leaks.
00:33:53At 8.30 a.m., I set the timer for 15 minutes, I jumped in the car, and drove to Russellfield.
00:34:05Okay.
00:34:06I lost it.
00:34:07What?
00:34:08Why the timer?
00:34:10Because the moment we start those machines is the moment we'll end up getting out of them,
00:34:14and...
00:34:15Right.
00:34:15Got it.
00:34:16Sorry.
00:34:16I don't want to be standing around when they do.
00:34:18Yep.
00:34:18While I was on the road at 8.45, the machine kicked on by itself, and by 8.49, it was completely
00:34:28warmed up.
00:34:36In Russellfield, I got a hotel room and tried to isolate myself.
00:34:42Wait.
00:34:42What do you mean, isolate?
00:34:43I mean, I closed the windows, I unplugged everything in the room, the telephone, TV,
00:34:47clock, radio, everything.
00:34:49I didn't want to take the chance of running into someone I knew or seeing something on
00:34:52the news that might...
00:34:54If we're dealing with causality, and I don't even know for sure, I just...
00:34:59What?
00:35:00Took myself out of the equation.
00:35:02You're on the side of caution.
00:35:04Yes.
00:35:05Well, then what did you do all day?
00:35:07I just sat there.
00:35:12I mean, I had some bugs, but...
00:35:14What, were you nervous?
00:35:15Yeah, it's just...
00:35:16It's just my numbing, all the second-guessing.
00:35:23Give that some paper.
00:35:30At 2.30 p.m., I stopped by Williams Medical Supply and picked up a Class E oxygen tank and
00:35:35mask.
00:35:35I called my mutual fund company and asked which stocker in their mid-cap fund had the
00:35:40greatest percentage gain that day.
00:35:41The idea was just to get enough information for wanting to trade.
00:35:44When we go, can we just download chart data, trade on each movement?
00:35:47Yeah, but if we do that, I want to use the library in Russellville, use their computers.
00:36:05So I got to the storage room at about 3.15 and cut off the power of the box.
00:36:11It cycled down to a tolerable level at about 3.19.
00:36:14See, the trick is to get in after it reaches a comfortable level, but before it shuts off
00:36:17completely.
00:36:18There's a window there.
00:36:19So, does it hurt?
00:36:24Yeah.
00:36:25Yeah, it does a little.
00:36:26It's not bad, though, if you wait for the right time.
00:36:28It's like a small static shock.
00:36:30Once you're in, you're fine, though.
00:36:32What?
00:36:32I know you've done it, okay?
00:36:34And I can only assume that you don't have cancer or male impotence because of it, but
00:36:38I mean, what is your opinion on how safe this thing is?
00:36:40And I can imagine no way in which this thing would be considered anywhere remotely close
00:36:44to, say.
00:36:45All I know is I spent six hours in there, and I'm still alive.
00:36:51You still want to do it?
00:37:02I set the alarm on my stopwatch for six hours.
00:37:14I regulated the O2 tank, took some Dramamine, and tried to sleep.
00:37:18Did you?
00:37:19What?
00:37:20Did you sleep?
00:37:22Not at first.
00:37:23No, I've never considered myself claustrophobic, but I started sweating, and I couldn't find
00:37:28the right flow rate on the tank, and I was breathing a lot differently than I was when
00:37:33I was testing it on the outside.
00:37:35Eventually, I settled down, and I don't know, maybe it was the Dramamine kicking in, but
00:37:40I remember this moment in there, in the dark, with the reverberation of the machine.
00:37:45It was maybe the most content I've ever been.
00:37:51I woke up on my own, without the alarm, and waited for the machine to cool down.
00:37:55Cool down from my perspective.
00:37:56It got to a point where it sounded safe to get out, but the stopwatch still showed a
00:38:01couple minutes, so I trusted the map and waited.
00:38:26Let us notice, Derek, shock me.
00:38:43Okay, please stop.
00:38:51You got out too soon.
00:38:54You had to wait for the stopwatch so that you know the gain is long.
00:38:58So we're back here?
00:39:00Yeah, we're here.
00:39:02It's 8.50, Tuesday morning.
00:39:04Give me a few minutes.
00:39:13From there, it was easy.
00:39:16The bulk of the work was done.
00:39:17I just left everything the way I found it.
00:39:19I left the machine alone, and didn't turn it off or anything, and just cleared out of there.
00:39:23Okay, so that way, your double would find everything exactly the same later that day, and get in the box.
00:39:28Right, right, but also, at that point, I, or my double, or someone, was in the box coming backwards.
00:39:33So, who knows what that would have done if I would have turned the machine off.
00:39:35Definitely.
00:39:36Definitely, so they're one-time use only.
00:39:38So then, at that moment, since my double was on the way to the hotel room in my car, I had to take a taxi home.
00:39:44But when we go, we'll be able to use your truck.
00:40:08You have a margin account, right?
00:40:10Yeah, I do now.
00:40:11What are we buying?
00:40:11Good, uh, today before 12.30, we're gonna buy as many shares as we can of RGWU.
00:40:18Then they'll announce that they're earnings for the quarter three and a half times consensus,
00:40:21and the stock will nearly double in afternoon trading.
00:40:26What do they do?
00:40:27Oh, what do you mean?
00:40:28What does this company do?
00:40:30Do they make things?
00:40:31I don't know.
00:40:31It doesn't matter.
00:40:32All it matters is that the price goes up.
00:40:34You know, and the volume is so high that the number of shares we're trading is not gonna affect the price.
00:40:36You really don't know what they do?
00:40:49That's why you were talking about a mid-cap fund, so the volume is high enough to hide us.
00:40:53You think that's too cautious?
00:40:54I don't know.
00:40:55I mean, I know there's a lot of other stocks out there that do a lot more than double,
00:40:58but it's my first day.
00:40:59It's my first day.
00:41:28Oh, my God.
00:41:39She's not getting answered.
00:41:41I know, Abe.
00:41:41That's the question.
00:41:43I know.
00:41:43So what's the answer?
00:41:45I mean, you've got the $400 billion.
00:41:47You've gone the charity route.
00:41:48You have this perfect 100-room mansion with matching his and her yachts and helicopter pads.
00:41:53I mean, basically, you have absolute impunity to do whatever you want.
00:41:56Nobody can touch you.
00:41:57Yeah.
00:41:57I mean, you're fresh back from this two-year...
00:41:59Well, absolutely.
00:42:00Well above.
00:42:01You're fresh back from this two-year world-galloping vacation.
00:42:04How do you feel your day?
00:42:06What do you do?
00:42:06Abe, I know that's the question, but it's not a real question, so why does it matter?
00:42:11So what's the answer?
00:42:12Babe, he knows that's the question, okay?
00:42:14He's asking you the question.
00:42:17Well, what do you mean?
00:42:18What would I do with my life, or what would I do tomorrow?
00:42:20My God, either.
00:42:22Well, I'd have to do something constructive.
00:42:25I'd have to do something that would help.
00:42:27Something to make you feel good.
00:42:29I know.
00:42:29That's fantastic.
00:42:31Good.
00:42:31My wife.
00:42:33So good.
00:42:34So pure.
00:42:34You are pure.
00:42:35Why'd you ask, then?
00:42:36This is what I would do.
00:42:37I would wake up tomorrow morning, and I'd go over to Gabriel Capital, Inc., and I would
00:42:44tell Joseph Platt's receptionist that I'm there to see him.
00:42:47And when he comes out, I would ram my fist through the flat of his nose.
00:42:54Just one good punch, one good pow.
00:42:58That's amazing.
00:43:00It's about time.
00:43:01That is so great.
00:43:03Where did this come from?
00:43:04You're the one that's always defending the guy.
00:43:06I would only do it, though, if I knew that, you know, no one would find out or get hurt
00:43:10or anything.
00:43:10Like, I wish that there was a way that I could do it and go back and tell myself not to.
00:43:16Because I just want to know what it feels like.
00:43:17That's all, really.
00:43:18I'm so proud.
00:43:20Finally.
00:43:21My husband.
00:43:23The hero.
00:43:30Can't do that.
00:43:33I know.
00:43:34Did you call pest control?
00:43:36Babe, they're birds.
00:43:38You don't want a bunch of dead baby birds up there, do you?
00:43:40They don't sound like birds.
00:43:43She thinks there are rats in the attic.
00:43:45But the idea had been spoken, and the words wouldn't go back after they'd been uttered aloud.
00:43:50So you're understanding this, right?
00:43:53Look, babe, you don't have to sell me not doing this, okay?
00:43:55I don't think I really told you what it was like when I was there.
00:43:56Well, the thing is, even if you do stuff yourself, you're double from two plaids, then why would
00:44:00he, you're double getting...
00:44:01And with no need for it, no possible real-world application, no advantage at all to be gained
00:44:07from it, the idea stayed.
00:44:09How would you do it?
00:44:12I wouldn't.
00:44:13Just for fun.
00:44:15I still wouldn't.
00:44:16But what if there was a way...
00:44:17Look, babe, look.
00:44:18I'm not going to pretend like I know anything, okay, about paradoxes, you know, or what follows
00:44:23them.
00:44:24And honestly, I really don't believe in any of that grip anymore.
00:44:26I mean, kill your mom before you're born, whatever.
00:44:28It has to work itself out somehow.
00:44:30I don't know, man.
00:44:31Look, this is what I know for sure, okay, about the worst thing in the world, is to know
00:44:34that the moment you're experiencing has already been defined as the second, you know, or third
00:44:40time through, or whatever.
00:44:41And do you ever feel, you know, like, I don't know, maybe things aren't right, you know?
00:44:46Like, maybe your life isn't just rare, just not what you would like, and you start to
00:44:49wonder, you know, what caused this?
00:44:50How did things get like this?
00:44:53You know, people are always blaming their parents, you know, as if their mom would have breastfed
00:44:58and their lives would have turned out different, and they're a bunch of winers.
00:45:01Yeah, they're a bunch of winers.
00:45:02I mean, but what if it wasn't something you wonder about, you know?
00:45:04What if you knew for sure?
00:45:04This is not the way things are supposed to be.
00:45:07See, man, I'm not like that.
00:45:08I'm not into the whole destiny, there's only one right way.
00:45:10Abe, I'm not either, okay?
00:45:12But what's worse, you know, thinking you're being paranoid or knowing you should be?
00:45:22You don't have to look in the office, okay?
00:45:28No, I just assumed that you would.
00:45:33I mean, I trust her.
00:45:34I know that when I decided to tell you, not that I was ever thinking of not telling you,
00:45:38I just knew that y'all were married and that there's no secrets, and anything I tell you,
00:45:42she'll know.
00:45:43It's not a matter of trust.
00:45:44No, I know.
00:45:44It's just how much better would it be if in a few days, you know, I surprise her,
00:45:48and we all just fly to Costa Rica or somewhere for a month.
00:45:51You know, we'll let her understand it gradually.
00:45:53Maybe do some real estate shopping.
00:45:54For now, though, if you wanted to, you can just tell her you had a good day in the market.
00:45:57You don't understand, no.
00:45:59You don't understand the questions that come with that, okay?
00:46:01But we'll explain it to her, and we'll all just take some time to figure out what's next,
00:46:05which right away I think should be building a bigger box, like the size of a room or something,
00:46:09or at least more than one person could fit into it.
00:46:11Safe or not, the thing feels like a coffin the way it is.
00:46:14By the way, this is our guy.
00:46:18What's the volume?
00:46:20Five and a half.
00:46:22Let's return.
00:46:24Holy.
00:46:24Yeah.
00:46:27No, I can't beat that.
00:46:29Mainly, I guess I was just talking about Robert and Phillip, you know?
00:46:32I don't want to tell them.
00:46:33Oh, I know they have a lot invested in the group, and I just...
00:46:35I don't want to tell them.
00:46:36No, I...
00:46:37Babe, if you need me to take the guilt on this one, fine, okay?
00:46:40I accept it gladly.
00:46:41It's mine.
00:46:42At the end of this week, they can have whatever they want, okay?
00:46:45I'll turn over patent rights on everything from the last two years.
00:46:48They can have the equipment, the garage, the house.
00:46:51They can have my truck, if that makes you feel better, okay?
00:46:53But I am not telling them a thing about this.
00:46:55We're not.
00:46:56Everything is so different in there.
00:47:14You can feel how cut off you are, you know?
00:47:16It's this entirely separate world, and you encompass most of it.
00:47:19And the sound.
00:47:21Isn't the sound different on the inside?
00:47:23It's like it's singing.
00:47:25I guess you can't hear it on the outside.
00:47:26I had this dream in there because of the...
00:47:28About what?
00:47:31I was on or near the ocean, and I just kept hearing the surf.
00:47:37It was so uneventful.
00:47:39At night, when the tide kept coming in and out.
00:47:43Yeah.
00:47:44Yeah.
00:47:44Yeah.
00:47:53Hey, hey.
00:47:56Whoa, come here for a second.
00:47:57What's on your hand?
00:47:58Are you bleeding?
00:47:59It is blood.
00:48:00Turn it around.
00:48:01You see it?
00:48:02It's back there.
00:48:02Where's it coming from?
00:48:03It's your notebook.
00:48:04Come here.
00:48:04I'm hearing it's you.
00:48:05Oh, what is this?
00:48:06Josh, it's on your ear.
00:48:08Your ear's bleeding.
00:48:09Bad.
00:48:10Give me that.
00:48:11I got it.
00:48:15Is that normal?
00:48:16This isn't normal.
00:48:17For the machine?
00:48:19No, for people.
00:48:19You think it's the machine?
00:48:20I got it.
00:48:40Great.
00:48:41Can actually get some work done today.
00:48:42Hey, guys.
00:48:43What's going on?
00:48:44I always seem to get a lot more done when I'm not locked out.
00:48:46Yeah, he said they had to spray again.
00:48:48Yeah, but he can't tell us about it in advance.
00:48:50Is Hero even here?
00:48:51Besides, you never see anything around here but those geckos anyway.
00:48:54Oh, I know.
00:48:54Yeah, you know, I think it's for the gecko.
00:48:55What?
00:48:56Why?
00:48:57Oh, hey, man.
00:48:58Thanks for the present.
00:48:58Yeah, yeah.
00:48:59How's that working out for you?
00:49:00You know what?
00:49:01You guys, both of you.
00:49:03You make fun, but there's a difference.
00:49:04Wait, what did you call him?
00:49:05What?
00:49:06When you walked in.
00:49:07What did you say?
00:49:07He really didn't tell you about it?
00:49:08No.
00:49:09All right.
00:49:10Rachel's ex-boyfriend walks into my birthday party with a shotgun.
00:49:13What?
00:49:14Swear to God.
00:49:15Yeah, Abe, I've already gotten that speech from Kara.
00:49:17Philby!
00:49:17Well, you're going to get it from me.
00:49:18You have a wife and kid.
00:49:19Philby, you know, wait.
00:49:20It's funny how you two are the only people who have a problem with it, okay?
00:49:23Everybody else thinks they did a good thing.
00:49:24Well, you didn't.
00:49:25You can't go risking your life, especially the welfare of Kara and Lawrence and someone like
00:49:29Rachel.
00:49:30Fine.
00:49:30Fine.
00:49:30She practically begged for this to happen to her.
00:49:32I figured it leads you to understand this.
00:49:34Understand what?
00:49:35You've never been like this.
00:49:36That's what I mean.
00:49:37You see how different things are.
00:49:40Different.
00:49:41How are things different?
00:49:43You see it, okay?
00:49:45I know you do.
00:49:49If that was the night you would tell me everything about the machine, okay?
00:49:53And everything you told me was so fresh in my head.
00:49:55And when I saw this guy, you know, I'm looking at him.
00:49:59I wasn't going to let him do that.
00:50:00I wasn't going to scare people like that.
00:50:01And I know it was stupid, okay?
00:50:04But, I mean, this whole idea, this whole thing that we're doing, it just took some getting
00:50:10used to it for me.
00:50:11I wasn't completely acclimated to it.
00:50:13Okay.
00:50:14If it was just you you had to worry about, you know, I'd still think you're stupid.
00:50:17But now, you have a family now.
00:50:19God, especially now to risk anything would be completely crazy.
00:50:22I know, okay?
00:50:22And the thing is, I know you know that, but you've got to see.
00:50:25I know, okay?
00:50:26I know.
00:50:28Philby.
00:50:30Philby.
00:50:31You little stuck.
00:50:32You know what?
00:50:33Even if you see him, don't tell me.
00:50:34It's not my fault if I don't know.
00:50:37I just hope the thing runs away.
00:50:38What are we doing out here?
00:50:40Your worries about the cat.
00:50:42You look for the cat.
00:50:43It's what you do.
00:50:54I don't know.
00:50:55What do you mean?
00:50:56It's just a little embarrassing.
00:50:58The storage room guy sees us come in together, but he never sees us leave.
00:51:00Yeah, but what do you think the receptionist thinks about two guys that come and get a room for six hours every day?
00:51:10Did you unplug this?
00:51:15You brought your cell phone?
00:51:16Can I check the caller ID?
00:51:20Yeah, we're not, we're not back.
00:51:26Yeah, yeah, but she can't take it back with you, okay?
00:51:28This is Aaron.
00:51:35Hey, babe.
00:51:37Um, now I'm not there.
00:51:39I had to come downtown and hold some of these guys' hands.
00:51:41Tell me.
00:51:43Oh, that sounds good.
00:51:44Um, now I gotta eat with these off-site fags.
00:51:47Save mine, though.
00:51:48I'll have it later.
00:51:50Okay.
00:51:52Yeah.
00:51:53Um, yeah, it's six.
00:51:54Um, yeah, it's six.
00:52:24Um, yeah, it's six.
00:52:34Oh, yeah, it's six.
00:52:41Oh, yeah, it's six.
00:52:43On the floor, I think that spaces pick out.
00:52:46The Butler or Jordan are in order for Sinatra.
00:52:50what what we're supposed to win this by two they just turned over with the 12 on the clock
00:53:03well we have we have to foul no no we have to foul well no we we foul here i missed the first

00:53:14and are you hungry i haven't eaten since later this afternoon
00:53:23yeah i'm sorry i'm sorry i forgot it was in my pocket it's cara yeah
00:53:44how do cell phones work if there's two duplicate phones and i call the same number do they both
00:53:51ring at the same time or is there well yeah it's a radio signal no it's a network the note
00:53:55the network checks each area when it finds a phone it stops ringing it only it rings the first one
00:54:00this this one's ringing right so the one your double has in russellville can't be right i think
00:54:09your book's signature are you sure that's how cell phones work no you feel all right
00:54:17i feel fine do you yeah
00:54:21i feel fine
00:54:26i feel fine
00:54:32oh
00:54:41Is Kara's sleep? Did that wake you up?
00:54:53Yeah. No, not me. I felt more like a nap.
00:54:58I think my body's getting used to these 36-hour days. What's going on?
00:55:01Well, we can do this, but we have to do it now.
00:55:03Do you have his home address?
00:55:05Why now? We were planning on taking a trip tomorrow, right? Just like today?
00:55:10Yeah, for Stonks.
00:55:11Okay, well, half an hour ago, I was asleep.
00:55:14This car alarm went out.
00:55:16These kids were down skating by, hitting every car on the block.
00:55:18So we go right now, do our business with Platt's, get back in the box,
00:55:22and come back to right before those kids are setting off the alarms.
00:55:25All we really have to do is stand up in plan sights and scare them off.
00:55:29That way, my double sleeps through the night.
00:55:31They don't have the conversation we're having now,
00:55:33and they get in the box tomorrow as usual.
00:55:37Yeah, they'll be changed, but...
00:55:39Yeah, but at least they'll get back in the box.
00:55:40Wait, how do we go back that far if the machines haven't been running?
00:55:49Have they been running?
00:55:52Yeah, I started going by at 5 o'clock and turned them on.
00:55:555 p.m.
00:55:57I just got tired of the whole unenthered.
00:55:59Why is this an experiment? Are we doing this for me?
00:56:01A little above 5 o'clock.
00:56:05If we get this done by 3, that's 10 hours in the box.
00:56:10I got the other two takes of the car.
00:56:13It's going to be a long day.
00:56:14Is that...
00:56:28Is that Rachel's car?
00:56:32No, that's not Rachel's. That's her dad's.
00:56:34They have the same kind.
00:56:36Did you see that?
00:56:37That's Mr. Granger. That's Thomas. He's sitting in that car.
00:56:42What?
00:56:44I swear that was him. What the hell is he doing?
00:56:46He's sitting outside my house at 2 in the morning.
00:56:50I don't believe this. What, is he following us?
00:56:53What are you doing? What are you doing?
00:56:55Let's just see what he wants.
00:56:56No, let's get out of my neighborhood first.
00:56:58Why?
00:56:58Did you see him today?
00:57:01No.
00:57:04I did. I saw him this afternoon.
00:57:07Around 6.
00:57:08You sorry? You didn't see him when we drove past?
00:57:10No. What?
00:57:12I'm almost positive this afternoon he was clean-shaving.
00:57:14In fact, I know he was.
00:57:15He was ready to go to some function with his wife.
00:57:18He looks like he's got like a 2 or 3 day growth now.
00:57:20Are you sure?
00:57:21No, I'm not sure, but I think so.
00:57:23Hey, Rachel. Hey, this is Abe. Did I wake you up?
00:57:32No. Yeah. Hey, can I get your dad's number for me real quick?
00:57:36Uh, yeah.
00:57:38Okay, go ahead.
00:57:41All right. Yeah, thanks.
00:57:42Hey, what's he doing?
00:57:44No, he's just sitting there.
00:57:46He got out for a second, and, uh, I don't know.
00:57:49I thought he was coming over, and then he got back in the car.
00:57:51I think he's drunk.
00:57:54Hi, uh, sorry to call so late.
00:57:55Um, may I speak to Thomas Granger, please?
00:58:01Yeah, this is, uh, James Miller from Putney and Myers.
00:58:05Hi, Mr. Granger?
00:58:08Thomas Granger?
00:58:13Hey!
00:58:14Hey, what are you doing here?
00:58:15Come here!
00:58:23What happened?
00:58:34Okay, I slipped.
00:58:35I just want to know what box you used.
00:58:48You built the one for you, right?
00:58:49Just the one.
00:58:50Yeah, how many do you think I made?
00:58:51These are set right.
00:58:57Did I turn him on at five?
00:58:59He could have used one and gone back to five.
00:59:02He could be in one of them right now.
00:59:03I said we shut him off and see if he's in there.
00:59:11Were you planning on talking to him?
00:59:13Just tell me if you were.
00:59:14I'm not going to be mad.
00:59:15Just tell him.
00:59:16No, I promise you.
00:59:17You know I wouldn't.
00:59:18Are you sure you wouldn't?
00:59:19You're the one who can't get near without passing out.
00:59:20There's no way I would tell anyone about this.
00:59:26No way.
00:59:27Can you think of any reason that you might?
00:59:29No, I can't.
00:59:29Sometimes we do things, you know.
00:59:31We don't know how we got to that point.
00:59:31No, no, I can't.
00:59:33Can't what?
00:59:33I can't think of any reason why I would.
00:59:37Oh, I can't either.
00:59:40What if it was an emergency?
00:59:43So you do if it was an emergency?
00:59:45No, I don't know.
00:59:45What, so you might then?
00:59:48I don't know.
00:59:49What kind of emergency?
00:59:50The permutations were endless.
00:59:56They tried again going to the source,
00:59:58but even while keeping him separated from Abe by two rooms,
01:00:02Thomas Granger's condition could only be described as vegetative.
01:00:05What did he say?
01:00:06From this, they deduced that the problem was recursive,
01:00:09but beyond that, found themselves admitting against their own nature,
01:00:13and once again, that the answer was unknowable.
01:00:15What do you think he changed?
01:00:17It couldn't have been much.
01:00:18We didn't have any contact with him,
01:00:19in the three hours he could have done anything.
01:00:21I know we changed this.
01:00:23I know we weren't having this conversation the first time through.
01:00:25So you don't know what we lost?
01:00:26Really, it could not have been much.
01:00:28It doesn't matter how much.
01:00:29It just matters that it's changed.
01:00:31Look, Abe, I know what you're saying.
01:00:32The question should have been what to do with the comatose man in the guest bedroom.
01:00:36We can wait this out.
01:00:37But in Abe's mind, he was already compiling the list.
01:00:46Two milligrams of oral triazolam every seven hours induces a safe sleep state and a minimal metabolic rate.
01:00:53At this continued state of rest, the human body breathes 0.3 liters of oxygen a minute, or roughly 2,000 liters in four days.
01:01:02A class E oxygen tank holds 625 liters.
01:01:06To maintain hydration, the body cycles through a minimum of 2.5 liters of water per day.
01:01:11Any food would be a luxury, but the small tank of medical-grade nitrous oxide would be needed on the other side.
01:01:20Past the room that contained their machines, and up two levels, he made his way to another room,
01:01:26where he had stored what I will refer to from here on as the fail-safe machine.
01:01:41ณ III.
01:01:42Ta da.
01:01:42I don't know whether theHz Only for me, it's not good.
01:01:43It's good enough.
01:01:44I'm not good enough.
01:01:46No.
01:01:47I don't know whether theHz is or it's really dark.
01:01:49I don't know right now.
01:01:51Our ability to stop using thebeds.
01:01:52A Kayla wants them to get something like this.
01:01:54All right.
01:02:03You already know whether theHz is just minute to kill hands.
01:02:05A mutiny dropz.
01:02:06If it has a Mona Simone you can encuentre with a compile-safe machine,
01:02:08then the outside is not prepared.
01:02:10Put the entrance for dinner on as the wall.
01:02:11I don't know.
01:02:41I don't know.
01:03:11There he is.
01:03:12I've been calling you all morning.
01:03:15Really?
01:03:17Your cell?
01:03:18Work?
01:03:21Uh...
01:03:24I'm not there.
01:03:26Really?
01:03:27I don't even know what.
01:03:37She's tired.
01:03:38I hope you're not implying that any day is unimportant to Cortex Semi.
01:03:41I don't know why.
01:04:11I don't know why.
01:04:14At this point, there would have been some discussion.
01:04:21Abe would, of course, want to know how.
01:04:24Aaron would have to explain all about the storage manifest and how it showed two rooms under
01:04:31the name Abram Turger.
01:04:34Then Abe would need to know how.
01:04:39Aaron would explain that when he went up there and found the failsafe running, he knew exactly
01:04:43what it was.
01:04:46But Abe would ask, how?
01:04:49And then the bit about the modular design of the coffins, and how it meant he could fold
01:04:53one up and take it back inside another.
01:04:55They are not one-time-use only.
01:04:58They are recyclable, Aaron would say.
01:05:07How?
01:05:08Abe would ask.
01:05:08And Aaron would describe how simple things become, when you know precisely what someone
01:05:17will have for breakfast, even in a world of tamper-proof lids.
01:05:21How?
01:05:42And that's where I would have entered the story, or exited, depending on your reference.
01:05:54Because when Aaron came back the second time, it wasn't so easy.
01:05:59He wasn't expecting me to put up a fight, and by that time he was too exhausted to take
01:06:04me. But for reasons that are only evident to me now, I understood that he simply wanted
01:06:12it more, that he just had more invested. So I left. He had already performed the task,
01:06:18as I had intended to, of recording the conversations of the day, just in case.
01:06:24Through that earpiece, he had a three-second lead on the world.
01:06:27Baron, you need some sleep. Some real sleep. I can't. I've got a schedule.
01:06:34He had but to speak aloud the words that came into his head, and those around him would
01:06:39fall in line.
01:06:40This is track three. Abe is bringing my car around, and I'm on my way to the court. I'll see Will there. I'll invite him to the party, and make sure he's bringing Rachel to the court.
01:06:44Hey, Will. Hey, Will. Hey.
01:07:01This is track three.
01:07:03Abe is bringing my car around, and I'm on my way to the court.
01:07:06I'll see Will there.
01:07:07I'll invite him to the party and make sure
01:07:09he's bringing Rachel's boyfriend.
01:07:12Hey, Will.
01:07:13Hey.
01:07:14Will.
01:07:15You pretend to be a prick.
01:07:16Hey.
01:07:16You pretend to be a prick.
01:07:18What the hell is that?
01:07:18Your cell phone?
01:07:19No, it's a radio, man.
01:07:19No, it's a radio.
01:07:20It's a Florida state, man.
01:07:21You look like Secret Service.
01:07:22You look like Secret Service.
01:07:23Marial meeting is moved to Wednesday.
01:07:25What?
01:07:26Yeah.
01:07:26What the hell am I hanging around here for?
01:07:28Yeah, I know.
01:07:28Sorry.
01:07:29Hey, nice shot, Eric.
01:07:31Rick, that is ugly, Aaron.
01:07:35Of course, I'm kidding.
01:07:36He's at last making STI.
01:07:37At least you got your golf game right.
01:07:38I see you were practicing.
01:07:39Come out here with your $3 tie and think you played white ball.
01:07:42Don't worry.
01:07:43I'm not going to tell you.
01:07:44What are you doing tonight?
01:07:45Hey, what are you doing tonight?
01:07:46I was supposed to be in Raleigh, but thanks to you guys,
01:07:48I missed my flight.
01:07:49You know Robert?
01:07:50Yeah.
01:07:51He's got a birthday tonight.
01:07:52Why don't you come out?
01:07:53I'm just going to hang out with my cousin.
01:07:55Bring him.
01:07:56Rachel will be there.
01:07:57Oh, big reunion.
01:07:58Exactly.
01:07:59That should be fun.
01:08:00I don't think I'm doing this.
01:08:04Why not?
01:08:05Because I can think of about a million different ways that this can happen and nobody comes
01:08:10anywhere near getting hurt.
01:08:11I mean, I can call her and see if she wants to do something else.
01:08:12Or better yet, not even talk to her at all and she won't even know about the part.
01:08:13Yeah, Abe.
01:08:14That's good for tonight.
01:08:15What about tomorrow?
01:08:16And every other day?
01:08:17Take care of tomorrow tomorrow.
01:08:18Yeah, you'll watch her all the time.
01:08:19Yeah, you'll watch her all the time.
01:08:20This guy is crazy enough to walk into a room full of people, waving a shotgun around.
01:08:21What do you think he's going to do if he ever finds her alone?
01:08:25I mean, this way we know exactly what happens.
01:08:26We have complete control over it.
01:08:27At the end of the night, this guy is arrested and goes to jail.
01:08:32That's the way it goes.
01:08:33Your words and not mine.
01:08:34Now come on, it has to be you.
01:08:39She said she was there because you told her you would be there.
01:08:45What happens?
01:08:46You told her that you would be there.
01:08:50This guy is arrested and goes to jail that's the way it goes your words not mine
01:08:56Come on it has to be you she said she was there because you told her you would be there
01:09:06Tell me I came back and did this for nothing
01:09:14He doesn't fire
01:09:16No, he didn't every first not even when you rushed him. No, he didn't the time. I wasn't there
01:09:21I didn't time. I was when I rushed him and you know from Robert tells you he didn't do it tonight
01:09:26He doesn't have the nerve. I mean the guy we know everything. Okay, we're prescient
01:09:37We can still be careful maybe we can get to gown without him knowing
01:09:41We definitely can't I mean he leaves it in the truck before he goes in I mean we don't even need to but if it makes you feel better
01:09:48What's wrong with her hands
01:09:53What do you mean why can't we write like normal people I
01:09:59Don't know I can see the letters I
01:10:04Know what they should look like I just can't get my hand and make them easily
01:10:07Try comparing it to your left-hand that looks the same
01:10:22There it's
01:10:27Yeah, yeah
01:10:32Hey, I guess what today is
01:10:34No, no, it's your friend robber's birthday
01:10:41That's his last record so you're in the best of bread
01:10:46I can tell you with certainty what I did that night when it was my turn
01:10:51But I think it would do little good
01:10:53Because what the world remembers the actuality the last revision is what counts apparently
01:10:58So how many times did it take Aaron as he cycled through the same conversations
01:11:05Lip-syncing trivia over and over
01:11:08How many times would it take before he got it right?
01:11:11Three
01:11:12Four
01:11:14Twenty
01:11:15I've decided to believe that only one war would have done it I can almost sleep at night if there's only one more
01:11:24Slowly and methodically he reverse-engineered a perfect moment
01:11:30He took from his surroundings what was needed and made of it something more
01:11:34And once the details had been successfully navigated there would be nothing left to do but wait for the conflict
01:11:51Maybe the obligatory last-minute moral debate until the noise of the room escalates into panic and background screams as the gunman walks in
01:12:08And eventually he must have got it perfect and it must have been beautiful with all the praise and adoration he had coming
01:12:14He had probably saved lives after all
01:12:20Who knows what would have happened if he hadn't been there?
01:12:36Look
01:12:38I know that things are bad, okay?
01:12:41I know that you don't agree with what I've done
01:12:46I know that you're upset and to be honest I'm not too happy with you either right now
01:12:50But you know that this is gonna pass so let's just go, let's get out there, let's go somewhere where we don't speak the language
01:12:58Aaron, we don't have the money back here and we'd have to steal our own passports
01:13:02Money, we'll make money
01:13:04They have sports betting in Vegas, March Madness, we'll make enough in one night to finance a thousand vacations
01:13:09Passports, you know they're not using those anyways
01:13:13Now come on, I'm thinking, I'm thinking Star City, check out the Cosmonaut training grounds
01:13:18I'm staying here
01:13:19Why?
01:13:20They'll be building their own boxes in another day and yours already knows what they built
01:13:36You're not gonna be able to watch them forever
01:13:38The box Abe's building won't work, he's got it wired wrong
01:13:45And if they fix that, I'll start actually taking pieces out of it
01:13:50It's just a gimmick, it doesn't work anymore
01:13:53And your double will say they have to move on to something else?
01:13:56I will agree, they're friends
01:13:58You're staying, why?
01:13:59Why, let's see, why would Abe stay? What possible reason could there be to be here?
01:14:07I guess, that it just won't go back far enough, will it?
01:14:11Tell you what, why don't you take Karen and Lauren
01:14:14And put them in the box, and then you and Aaron can each keep a set
01:14:18And you'll both have families and you can stop feeding off of them
01:14:20Don't come back
01:14:21You can each keep a set in a hemisphere
01:14:22And I don't think there's ever been any reason for me to show you what I'm capable of
01:14:26But I'm telling you this now
01:14:27Go out there and do whatever the hell you want
01:14:29There's no way in the world I can stop you
01:14:32But don't come back here
01:14:34And don't come near them
01:14:37Any of them
01:14:53And now I have repaid any debt I may have owed you
01:14:57You know all that I know
01:14:59My voice is the only proof that you will have of the truth of any of this
01:15:03I might have written a letter with my signature
01:15:06But my handwriting is not what it used to be
01:15:10Maybe you've had the presence of mind to record this
01:15:13That's your prerogative
01:15:15You will not be contacted by me again
01:15:17Good morning
01:15:18Every half meter
01:15:24Everywhere
01:15:26Everywhere
01:15:27And if you look
01:15:29You will not find me
01:15:48G ок ...
01:15:49Every halfpen
01:15:51Lucky
01:15:54For my family
