[00:00:26]Always hungry and always wanting my little breafo.

[00:00:40]Keep that in here. That is your strength.

[00:01:07]Look it. Look it here. If not used with care, catatonia may occur.

[00:01:16]The dormant power to change memories.

[00:01:22]The artifact does not affect time and space.

[00:01:27]The locket has yet to be found at Kreley's estate. Holy [ __ ] Back off.

[00:02:30]>> Whoa. Relax. I'm not going to hurt you.

[00:02:34]Look, I'm here to help.

[00:02:59]Come on.

[00:03:13]Whoa.

[00:03:22]>> Dad, >> are you drunk?

[00:03:27]>> No. No. I just I just need to rest a little bit.

[00:04:01]We'll see.

[00:04:20]Let me help you.

[00:04:22]>> I'm not playing whatever game you have planned.

[00:04:26]>> Darling, what's going on? What's going on? Let's go. Let's go.

[00:04:34]>> What's going on?

[00:04:43]Darling, be strong.

[00:05:16]It's here.

[00:05:19]Somewhere here.

[00:05:21]>> How do you know, darling? I told you I'm not interested in the score. If you stop calling me darling, I might not kill you.

[00:05:34]>> Fellow archaeologist shows up and tries to help you.

[00:05:38]>> Yeah, let's kill him. Great idea.

[00:05:41]>> Old castle falling apart.

[00:05:45]An accident could happen.

[00:05:47]>> Is that a threat?

[00:05:50]>> You better believe it.

[00:05:58]Who am I kidding? I I couldn't hurt a fly.

[00:06:03]Or could I?

[00:06:34]That's what I thought.

[00:06:49]Okay. So, if one isn't the first number, well, what is this one? Um, it has a slant here. So, it can't be a 1, four, five, or seven.

[00:07:03]>> So, that leaves a 2, three, 6, 8, nine, >> and zero.

[00:07:09]>> You know, maybe the code is an important date.

[00:07:14]Aren't you supposed to be an archaeologist, too? You don't know.

[00:07:22]His birth year, 1701, would probably be too easy. So, the hidden number probably isn't zero.

[00:07:31]I thought it was the year that he married his wife, Amanda, 1716. But one is not the start.

[00:07:41]What? What? Is this funny to you?

[00:07:44]>> Well, I thought you were supposed to be an archaeologist, too. Look. Look again.

[00:07:56]>> There's two ones.

[00:08:00]Okay.

[00:08:03]1716.

[00:08:14]It's okay. It's okay, man.

[00:08:21]>> I can stay down. You don't want to get killed, right?

[00:08:24]>> Have more confidence in yourself.

[00:08:29]You have your f your first one, right? So, go from there.

[00:08:44]Oh my god.

[00:08:46]How didn't I think of this before >> you figured it out?

[00:08:51]>> It's the year the locket was uh invented.

[00:08:56]It's a trick.

[00:08:58]Not all the plates have to be used.

[00:09:50]I'll use it. I will.

[00:09:55]I've had a fun night. I really have.

[00:09:59]But there's one thing I'm still confused about.

[00:10:02]You seem to be very familiar with me, but I have no memory of you.

[00:10:10]>> Bri, please.

[00:10:12]I don't want to hurt you.

[00:10:15]>> I won't ask again.

[00:10:18]>> Consider her options.

[00:10:21]I have the gun and you have an old relic you don't know how to use.

[00:10:39]Oh wow. So I tried smoking at a party.

[00:10:42]Look around, Dad. Everyone with their mom is [ __ ] smoking.

[00:10:44]>> And does IT MAKE IT RIGHT?

[00:10:45]>> LEAVE MY LIFE FOR MONTHS AT A TIME off on your [ __ ] escapades to find the idol of this or whatever [ __ ] sculpture. And what? What?

[00:10:54]You're shocked that I've become independent, that I'm trying new things.

[00:11:00]>> I reality check.

[00:11:09]You weren't there to tell me what not to do.

[00:12:59]Look after her.

[00:13:02]Do that for this sick old bastard.

[00:13:06]One daughter for another path.

[00:13:13]Look, can't her mother yet. Yes, she can't.

[00:13:18]She needs need someone like us.

[00:13:40]Dad, my little preloaf.

[00:14:00]Always hungry, always wanting.

[00:14:04]>> Wish drink.

[00:14:06]That's my strength, right?

[00:14:10]So, let's stay.

[00:14:12]>> We have minutes at the most before the locket destroys Bruce's mind and kills us, too.

[00:14:19]>> That's [ __ ] I can I can go and come back or something.

[00:14:25]I have all the books on the locket. We can shape this world.

[00:14:31]Please just let me get what I want once my [ __ ] life baskets graduate, professional archaeologist.

[00:14:59]ologist.

[00:15:01]She grew up just like her dad.

[00:15:02]>> See, that's the thing, Dad. I I didn't grow up like you.

[00:15:09]I'm not like you.

[00:15:12]You I haven't let my guard down a single time in years because of you.

[00:15:25]So then maybe I don't need to teach you after all this time.

[00:15:34]>> We're running out of time.

[00:15:39]>> Sorry.

[00:15:44]>> I'm not.

[00:15:46]I did what I had to.

[00:16:19]Thank you.

[00:16:22]>> Goodbye.

[00:16:22]>> Goodbye, my darling.

[00:16:56]Keep the pain.

[00:16:58]Embrace the love.
