In time travel narratives, the grandfather paradox illustrates that if a time traveler goes back to prevent an event that caused their existence, they create a logical contradiction where they both exist and don't exist simultaneously. This paradox demonstrates that certain actions in time travel are fundamentally impossible because they would erase the very conditions that made the action possible.

THE MOST DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT EVER CREATED | Action Thriller MovieAdded:
[music] Oh.
Oh.
>> [sighs] >> Oh yeah, Mr. Land.
Please, please. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
This is Mr. Landau.
Please leave a message.
>> Mr. Landau, sir, don't come to the lab.
If you come to the lab, we're all going to die. Project 880 must be cancelled.
If you come, we're all going to die. We all die.
>> [music] >> Okay, mom.
Mom, mom. Mom, it's Randy. Hey, please.
No. No. No. Mom. No. No. No. No. I'm I'm not upstairs. I'm right here.
Mom.
Who was it? No, I'm not up in the I'm not upstairs. I'm right here.
Mom. Mom, it's me, Randy. No, no, no.
It's me.
No, I'm not up in I'm not upstairs. I'm right here. Come on. No.
[screaming] >> [panting] >> I knew this would work.
Please, [panting] please just tell me who you are.
>> [snorts] >> Hey, wake up. You going to sleep right through your first night on the job?
Showtime.
Party's just getting started.
William Wishman. This little prick. The only kid to ever get expelled three times from MIT.
>> How'd he keep getting back in?
>> Two words. Daddy endowments.
Hey, don't bump that thing into my [ __ ] car.
>> It's coming out of your paycheck, pal.
>> Lewis Aberniki. 3 years ago, he ran a red light, got hit by a semi, t-boned.
He had a blood alcohol level of 0.09, thus the chair, and a record.
>> Got a squeaky wheel.
>> How about we observe the speed limit just for once, for fun? Okay.
>> All right, Grandma.
There he is.
>> This one. This is Randy Frer. Even at his age, he's a renowned expert on astrophysics.
>> The [ __ ] are they building in their spaceship?
>> It was his voice on the phone call.
>> Phone call. What? Phone call.
>> The phone call is the reason we're out here freezing our asses off tonight.
>> You going to tell me about it?
>> Yeah, but here comes our undercover agent. None of this changes the fact that today is our anniversary and you forgot.
>> I think it's a a huge day and you're going to ruin it because of some girly [ __ ] >> It is a huge day. I know.
>> Can't win here. Literally cannot win.
>> You don't look nervous. One small step for me, one giant leap, etc., etc. Oh, trouble in paradise.
Oh, >> yeah. [ __ ] you, Bill.
>> [ __ ] He's looking right at us.
>> Turn away.
>> Come on. Sand out's coming.
>> Sure about this, guys?
>> Yeah.
>> Let's do it. After you, sweetheart.
Want to hold my hand? Pumpkin.
>> Morning.
>> Morning.
>> Thank you.
>> Morning.
>> Morning.
>> Hey, how's it going down there?
>> Way above your pay grade, cupcake. God, Bill, you're such a dick.
>> Yeah, >> he's not going to be the one to spend hours and miles underground with him.
>> It's a good point.
>> What are you, five?
>> Don't [ __ ] with me. I'm on edge.
[snorts] >> Welcome to Crack 880.
>> Somebody stop it from saying that.
>> That's how Mr. Lando likes it. He writes the checks.
>> Lock it right next to mine. Huh?
>> Get over.
>> What's that smell?
>> $50 million facility and it still smells like ass. Oh, and not just any ass. But Ry's rotten ass. Here [laughter] he comes. Mr. Landau, the boss, mystery [music] man. We've got nothing on him before 2007. I mean, nothing.
Since then, he's created [music] six corporations and been investigated by the SEC nine times.
Sir, I'm going to send one of the boys down with you. Van Lang, why me? Cuz I don't want to have to shove those [ __ ] bubbles up your ass.
Go.
>> Just quit smoking and I hate you and go.
>> I didn't ask.
All right. This phone call is the reason we're here.
>> Let's hear it.
>> Okay.
>> Mr. Landau. Sir, don't come to the lab.
If you come to the lab, we're all going to die. Project 880 must be cancelled.
If you come, we're all going to die.
>> What the hell is Project 880?
>> The only thing our undercover's given us so far is it's some kind of particle accelerator.
>> How How's that it? It's not possible.
Sometimes you send a young rookie deep undercover and you know they drink the cherry Kool-Aid.
>> Let me get this straight. Not even the NSA knows [music] what these geniuses are building there.
>> I still say we should be using Hicksfield.
>> Somebody up his dosage, please.
>> [music] >> Isn't this whole thing going to be kind of shot from a low angle?
>> I guess so.
Oh, [ __ ] you, Bill.
>> Hey, just try to hold it up a little bit like a like you were a normal person.
It'd be great.
Jim, you in here getting one of those secret phone calls of yours?
Do you think we're ready for a human test subject?
>> Define human.
>> That's not nice. It's funny, but it's not nice. Listen about this whole anniversary thing.
>> Wait, that wasn't there last night.
>> Right.
>> Think somebody was in here.
>> Elevator descending.
>> Come on. Can't keep the boss waiting.
>> Welcome to project 880.
>> Sir, we're jacked into the grid. Just waiting on your go-ahad.
>> Time waits for no man.
It's a little joke.
Sir, [music] once we do this, it's the point of no return.
>> The blackout will be citywide.
>> What blackout?
>> Wait, are you blowing bubbles?
>> What blackout?
>> We should fix the alarming system.
>> Leave it. It's aligned. Jesus. Time to look busy.
What the [ __ ] is that? [music] >> Hey, get back now. Now the other one.
Perfect.
This is an art we've been working toward for the last 2 years.
As we know, our experiment will require massive amounts of power. Getting that power will attract unwanted attention [music] from our friends at the NSA amongst others. What I'm [music] saying is do your best work.
We will succeed.
Powers 89% rising.
What in the [ __ ] happened?
>> Did you unplug something? No.
[music] [music] >> It actually worked. What did you expect?
>> Fires, explosions, chaos, death.
>> The clock is ticking.
Make your time count.
[snorts] >> I'm ready. [clears throat] >> You don't look ready.
>> Just had one of those like it's my last night parties.
>> Go by your standards. A Friday.
Good.
Change of plan.
Wait, what? Me?
What? Him? Come on.
No. Land out. Come on.
Yes, sir. The power's out for 40 blocks.
>> Call your guys. I need a tactical team here ASAP.
>> I'm on it.
Jim.
Jim, are you in here?
Where are you?
Jim.
Jim, are you in here?
>> Yeah, over here.
Hey, [snorts and clears throat] >> what are you doing in here?
>> Same as the computers.
Thinking.
I'm >> sorry about this morning. I was making way too big a deal out of it.
Best to clear the air before I get sucked up into a black hole or turn up fossilizing dinosaur [ __ ] Exactly.
[snorts] >> Okay, then.
>> The others are having a meeting. Bill's upset. We agreed that he would go first.
>> Yeah, so did I. I had no idea Lando was going to pull this [ __ ] >> You can't just throw this in at the last minute.
>> Yeah, I mean, seriously, he's been training for Lando. With all due respect, just listen to the guy. He deserves to at least go first.
>> Seriously, why Jim? It's >> [ __ ] [ __ ] You can't just take this away from me.
>> I have made my decision.
>> He's glorified tech support.
>> No, what he is is the most talented computer engineer at MIT.
>> No, he's a [ __ ] scholarship kid. He's just here to fill some kind of quota.
>> You know, this was my dad's.
>> No, this whole thing.
Guy never had more than a couple of fives in it. Just kept it to remind myself never to be like him.
>> Is this you?
>> Only place he ever took me.
Track.
Next horse and the next race was always a sure thing.
Last time I saw him before he died, [music] I told him that I was going to get into [music] MIT.
I said, "You can bet on it."
You know what he said to me?
He looked me straight in the eyes and he goes, "Nobody would give me the odds."
>> Jim's not one of us. He never was. It's true.
>> And he's a bit of a dick.
>> Well, clearly he's not the most [music] liked or valuable member of this team.
So therefore, he's expendable.
That's why I pounded keyboards [music] every night to my finger split. Got a scholarship to MIT, got to the top of my class, got in front of Lando, got here on [music] project 880.
I I can't pass up an opportunity to be the world's first [music] time traveler.
>> I know.
>> Okay. Calibrating for 1 hour.
>> Any uh last words?
>> I'm about to start. Let's go.
All right, initializing ion generator.
>> Did we expect that?
>> No. The vortex is collapsing.
You'll dare survive.
Where's he going?
>> Not where, when.
Sorry. Always wanted to say that.
We're sending you 1 hour forward. It'll be midnight. Exactly. Okay. Remember, keep your arms [music] and legs inside the vortex. Anything outside the field, it ain't going anywhere. When you get there, just wait. All right. By definition, we'll catch up to you. All right.
I'll see you in 1 hour. Okay.
>> Yeah.
Hey, Jim. Remember, it's a black hole.
If anything goes wrong, you will literally disappear up your own ass.
[music] [music] Hail now.
Now, [sighs] [sighs] What the [ __ ] [panting] >> [music] >> self-destruct in 4 minutes.
This whole place is going to blow.
>> Welcome to Project 880.
for no [screaming] time to distract in 2 minutes.
Jim Lewis, what happened? Who did this?
>> I don't know.
We kept filming like you said.
I did. You will go back.
Stop him. [snorts] Stop.
[music] Self-destruct in 1 minute.
There's something [music] What's happening?
>> What's happening?
>> Something's coming back.
>> What? [music] >> Why? Why? Why? Why would he be coming back? [music] >> We did it.
>> We did it.
Jim, why did you come back? We said don't come back.
>> What the [ __ ] is going on?
>> Jim, what happened?
>> Is that [music] my camera?
>> Jim, guys, bad news.
[panting] >> Tactical team's here.
>> Good.
All right, let's go, boys.
>> Go, go, go. Everybody down. Everybody down. Go, go, go. Get down. Get down.
Go, go, go.
What is this? Get out.
Get off.
Clear. Clear. Clear.
>> Where [music] are they?
>> I take it easy. Easy.
>> On the couch.
>> Have a seat. Have a seat [clears throat] light.
>> Okay, Jim. Baby, >> start at the beginning. Okay. What happened?
>> The lab. It was uh it was a mess. It was empty. I I couldn't find any of you.
>> Oh god. It was like somebody's pounding on my head with a hammer.
>> Your nose is bleeding. I want to get something for them.
>> See enough blood for one night.
>> Oh well. Tell us what happened.
I saw a body.
>> It was missing its head.
>> Who? Who was it? Did I mention the missing head part?
>> Okay. So, what happened next?
>> I heard a scream.
>> It was you.
I ran as fast as I could, but you were being pulled into an elevator.
>> By who?
>> I just saw black gloves. I couldn't I couldn't see who it was.
>> It's all I saw.
>> [ __ ] And then I uh I tripped over Louiswis.
>> Wait, what?
>> That you were on the floor dying and you gave me this camera.
>> Dying?
How?
>> Look, you just said that we kept filming. So, I guess we kept filming.
Okay, >> great. So, [music] we can just check all this out on the camera.
>> It just got taken to a rift in space and time. I'm pretty sure we voided the damn warranty. And it's got blood on it.
That's your blood.
>> Oh, [ __ ] That's just great.
I'll do my best.
Good. But until [music] then, no footage, no proof.
>> Look, I'm not making this up, you dick.
>> Okay. So, then tell me this. Why didn't you just stick around and find out what was going on before you came back and started scaring everybody? Because the lab was about to explode.
Somebody set the lab to self-destruct.
Oh, right. We don't have a self-destruct.
No, >> actually, we do.
>> Why do we have a self-destruct? The machine belongs to all of us. That was the deal.
>> Now, we all know that what we've built is far too powerful to fall into the hands of the wrong persons, especially the government.
I don't believe this crap.
What the [ __ ] >> I need to talk to you outside.
>> You can't repeat this to anyone, but I think that we might have been infiltrated by the NSA.
>> It's Jim, right? That's why you sent him instead. That's why he's so expendable.
>> But he also could be telling the truth.
Why don't you let me go forward and find out?
[clears throat] >> Look, we are all dead at midnight.
>> Wow, that was the worst spoiler alert ever.
>> Look, that means we just have less than an hour to get the hell out of here.
>> Time displacement commencing. What?
>> Let's do this land out.
Speed it up, Landown.
Mr. Amanda, stop. What are you doing?
>> Easy. Easy.
>> I'm going forward to check it out.
>> What?
>> Look, I'm telling you the truth.
>> I'm not going to sit around here for an hour to find out.
>> By the time you get there, it'll all be over.
>> No, I'm going to arrive at 11:50, 10 minutes before you did.
>> All right, smartass. I hope you bring in a gun because there's going to be somebody there [ __ ] killing us.
>> All right, bring a gun. You smug bastard picked the wrong week to quit smoking.
You're making a mistake. Guess for luck.
>> Bite me, Bill.
>> Hit it.
>> Don't do this.
>> Ready. Ready.
>> [panting] >> Okay, back to plan A. Let's get the [ __ ] out of here.
>> But wait, what if William's plan actually works? No, >> we won't know what he manages to do for another 40 minutes. By then, it might be too late.
Wait, wait.
I think he's coming back.
What is that?
What is that? What the [ __ ] What is that?
What is that?
>> Oh god.
>> That's it. Time to get the [ __ ] out of here.
>> Elevator not responding.
>> [ __ ] The elevator runs on the power from the warehouse.
>> No, no, no. Game over, man. Game over.
Whoa. What's wrong?
>> Warehouse in the city that right now has no power.
>> But you geniuses did that.
>> No, we know that it gets fixed. Okay, I saw it.
>> But too late. By then, we're dead.
>> [ __ ] Security office. They have a phone.
>> Bill's head was some kind of trophy. The killer is taunting us.
>> The phones are dead.
[ __ ] [music] the internet's out, too.
>> It was all working before. Who are we going to call anyway? Hello, 911. We're in a top secret lab under the city doing experiments with time travel. Oh, and by the way, there's going to be a bunch of murders.
>> Look, that's him. That's him.
That's him on the CCTV.
>> So, the killer cut the lines.
>> When was this?
11 minutes ago.
>> No, no, we were we were all in the lab.
[music] >> No, we weren't.
>> Mr. Lando left right before.
>> Are you trying to accuse me?
>> Him? He wasn't there either.
>> Hey, [ __ ] you, man. You want to lose both yours?
>> Relax. Relax. Relax. He's not accusing you. Okay.
>> No, actually, I kind of was.
>> Guys. Guys. Nobody but us.
is down here.
>> So, whoever the killer is, it has to be one of us.
>> [ __ ] >> Well, it isn't me. I hardly know you [ __ ] people.
>> Yeah, but you know what we've built down here. You know what it might be worth.
The >> only reason I'm down here is because I was blowing bubbles, right?
Okay. So, who's Mr. Bubbles and who put him in charge?
>> You want a [ __ ] piece of me?
>> Hey, hey, hey, hey, stop. We have a time machine.
>> Stop it.
>> We have a time machine.
None of this [music] has to happen.
Okay.
Somebody goes back and they warn us not [music] to come.
So, whoever the killer is, he doesn't get to kill anybody. Not today.
>> Yeah, that's good. I like that.
>> Yeah.
[crying] >> Yeah.
>> No, we can't do that. We'll cause a paradox.
Remember when Lewis said all he wanted to do was go back and stop himself drunk driving that night?
>> Only reason I joined this project in the first place.
>> Remember what we told him?
>> That he'd cause a temporal paradox.
Okay, now try, you know, [ __ ] English.
>> He'd go back to stop the accident from happening. And so the accident would have never have happened and he would have never have gone back. And then, well, then he's Schrodinger's cat.
Crippled and not crippled at the same time. Except not that. Is that the best you can do? Look, this stuff is really [ __ ] hard. Okay, so what happens if we make a parath thingy?
You're not listening.
We can't. Why not? Let me put this into words you'll understand. [ __ ] you, man.
>> But yeah. Okay, do that. It's fate. You can't fight fate.
>> We don't have a choice. If we don't, >> we're all dead.
>> So, I say screw fate. Let's not die.
>> Yeah, that sounds like a plan.
I'm getting something.
>> I think I'm getting something from the SM card from the camera. It's >> just ridiculous. Yeah, he's a [ __ ] [ __ ] And I can't believe you just put throwing him in like that.
>> Yeah, sorry. It's kind of in and out.
>> If he landed on this, please consider that. Seriously, >> can we fast forward or something? You know, we we don't need to see stuff that already happened. Let's get to the future part.
>> Dude, I'm trying. The camera is [ __ ] up.
>> No, what he is is the most talented computer engineer at MIT.
>> Jim's not one of us. He never was.
[snorts] >> It's It's true.
>> And he's a bit of a dick.
>> Sorry. It's a just pure pressure, really.
>> Yeah.
[ __ ] they're underground. What's down there?
>> They're under.
>> How?
>> They say the kids are underground.
>> We got to get down there.
>> There's no power to the elevator.
>> So, find someone to fix it now.
[music] >> [music] >> is not the most like member or valuable member of this team.
So therefore, he's expendable.
>> Okay, that's nice.
>> I was exaggerating. Hey, go forward to the next month.
>> I'm doing my best. Okay, >> 19.
What he is is a [ __ ] scholarship kid.
He's there to fill a quota.
>> I [ __ ] hate that guy, >> dude. He just got his head chopped off.
>> Nope. Technically, he didn't. Not yet.
>> [ __ ] Now my head hurts. Tell me about it.
>> Oh, I think you're bleeding again.
I haven't felt right since I got back.
Something's wrong.
You have to film everything >> according to the future me.
>> Yeah.
>> We never even [music] talked about what we were going to do with the machine.
All we cared about was can we build it.
We all fixated on the [music] could and never considered the should.
In less than an hour from now, we're dead.
[music] Look, it hasn't happened yet, which means it doesn't have to happen. Okay, we can't change anything.
We can't >> enough.
This is [music] not helping. According to Jim, the elevator comes back online, right?
>> Yeah. from what I saw. Right. Well, I'm going to go check to see if it already has [ __ ] Double [ __ ] Now he's actually out there and he started killing people.
>> [ __ ] That sounds bad.
>> Yeah, that sounds bad. What sounds bad?
>> Something I said or will say.
>> Will you stop watching it? We're just torturing ourselves, man.
>> Okay, can we just shut up with our paradoxes and fate? And can we just send someone back to save us, please?
>> Yeah, >> guys, you should see this.
What are we doing?
>> [ __ ] [ __ ] That's me.
>> You're dead, >> Randy.
>> Or you will be.
>> So now, what do you think about all the Unchangeable fate stuff?
>> Send me back. [ __ ] that. Send me back.
Oh, [ __ ] Okay, remember the phone and the security office will still be connected.
[music] Okay, it's not going to work. You know, if it did, we wouldn't be here.
>> You have to try.
>> You got this.
>> [music] >> Randy, I never thought I'd say this.
Call me Okay.
Get out of here.
I'm going to go ahead.
>> Okay, Frank, you're under arrest.
Hands up.
[ __ ] Are you [ __ ] cop?
Are you?
>> What's going on?
>> The killer was just here.
>> You sure?
>> I'm pretty [ __ ] sure.
I hear you guys have a power problem.
Let me take a look. See [sighs and gasps] [ __ ] cakes.
Bunch of circuits got fried up.
>> It's going to take a while.
>> That's not going to work for me. We've got one of ours down there. We've got to get down there now.
>> I'm going to have to dress that.
So, what happened?
>> Oh, you know, meet my girlfriend, the super cop.
>> I'm not a cop. I'm an NSA agent, and I'm sorry. Okay.
>> Wait, what?
>> She's a [ __ ] spy.
Literally.
>> Don't say it like that.
>> How do you want me to say it?
>> Are we going to get arrested?
>> Ask her.
>> Are Are we going to get arrested?
>> You know what? But we got bigger problems.
>> Oh yeah.
[ __ ] Double [ __ ] He's actually out there and he started killing people now.
I'm guessing you would have mentioned it by now, but you didn't happen to see who it was.
>> No one else has come down here, so it has to be one of us.
>> Where's Landau?
I can't believe it's Mr. Landau. I guess you can't trust anybody these days.
>> Really, Jim?
>> You do you have to film everything?
>> According to the future me? Yeah.
>> Wow. I can't believe I actually end up saying that.
>> What?
>> Nothing.
>> He said he'd be here.
>> [ __ ] it. Let's go check his locker.
this thing.
>> Perfect.
>> Boys, I smell terrible.
>> What is that smell?
>> I don't know. Randy noticed it this [music] morning.
>> Yes.
>> Made us became.
>> Brilliant.
>> I think it's coming from there.
>> Yes, it is.
Oh, [snorts] it's like he's staring at us.
>> Oh god, I can't I can't look. Poor Randy.
>> So that means when he was smelling that bad smell this morning, he was smelling it himself.
What's taking this guy so long?
>> How's it going?
That answer your question?
He's going to keep working on it.
You okay?
How you liked him?
>> Look, you could stop with the whole girlfriend act. Okay, your cover's blown.
We should see what's on there.
I still can't believe it. The NSA paying you to have sex with me.
>> It's not like that. All right. You don't >> What about that crazy night we had in Catalina? You know, that whole safe word thing.
>> I'm in the room.
>> Okay. None of that was part of the job.
Look, it was my first assignment. I >> Okay, so you just jump in bed with one of the suspects.
>> This was my whole life for two years.
What was I supposed to do about sex?
>> Still in the room, FYI.
>> Feel so special.
>> This seems like company names, stock prices.
>> Oh [ __ ] [music] >> Wait, dates. What are the first dates?
>> June 13th, 2007.
>> 2007. Okay. What are the last dates?
August 20th, 2029. [music] >> Wow.
>> Explains all the breakthroughs you brought to the project.
>> Yeah. And I thought he was just smart.
Huh.
>> Now, the only way [music] a time machine could be built is if someone from a future in which one had been [music] built used it to come back and build one.
>> What are you guys talking about?
Land out.
It's for the [ __ ] future.
It's like having a winning lottery ticket every day for the next 15 years.
So Landau went back to 2007 and started generating all the cash to fund this all of this.
Then he had us build the precursor to the machine that he uses in 20129 because otherwise time travel wouldn't exist in the future.
Therefore, he couldn't be here.
>> But why does he want to kill us?
>> Well, he can't have anybody know that time travel exists now.
He has to kill us.
>> You got to admit it's pretty brilliant.
>> Yeah, but now we got to find him >> and kill him before he kills us.
Oh, I think we'll find him.
>> This is like time traveling via television.
>> Yep. Server form.
>> This is so [ __ ] weird.
>> Yeah, we found him cuz we saw we found him.
>> So, let's go get him. All right, >> I'll uh tip this one out.
A little wheelchair humor.
>> Okay.
>> Was it true what you said before? Was it just about sex for you?
>> Seriously, Jim, you won't have this conversation now.
>> Hey, you need to tell me.
Just tell me. Okay. You at least owe me that.
>> No, with you everything changed. I lost sight of what I was supposed to be doing. This is my first assignment and I got lost in it with you. Okay, that's the truth.
>> Now, I know I never met your family. Why your mom would call all the time but never come over.
>> That wasn't my mom.
That was my NSA contact, my mentor. She recruited me out of my first year at MIT, trained me, taught me everything I know. And I lied to her, too. To the NSA. [music] >> Oh, that's okay then.
>> My mentor always said, "When you go undercover, don't drink the cherry Kool-Aid."
And with you, I did.
I'd love your cherry Kool-Aid.
>> You know, all those phone calls you were getting so paranoid about.
>> Yeah, >> that was me just trying to plan an anniversary party for us.
>> [ __ ] Now I kind of wish you were cheating on me.
>> Actually, it was more like a uh anniversary/holy crap with this infinite time travel party.
>> [music] >> It's It's not him. Listen, it's not him.
Hey, I just thought of something.
>> Uh-huh.
>> Scare even your real name?
Oh, man. I don't even know your real name.
People tried to murder us. It's >> not me. I am not the killer.
>> Don't keep on doing that. He's not the killer.
>> He tried to kill us all.
>> No, he didn't.
>> Yeah. Look, look around. Okay. Okay, I know I'm not the killer. It's not you.
It's not Gail. So that leaves him.
[music] [music] Heat. Heat. Heat.
Oh, hey. Hey. You okay?
>> No, I'm not feeling so great. My >> nose is bleeding again.
>> I haven't felt right since I got back.
No, listen.
Who are you?
[panting] I know what you're thinking. I found the knife. The killer is in here. It wasn't me.
Where are you going?
[ __ ] no.
Guys, guys.
>> Yep. Server farm.
>> This is so [ __ ] weird.
>> Yeah, we found him. Cuz we saw we found him. I knew you were going to say that.
It's exactly what's on the tape. You >> know, we should find something to tie him up. [music] >> I'm on it.
>> We can't change anything.
>> That's not me.
>> Shut up.
>> No, please. It wasn't me.
>> It's It's not him.
>> Listen, it's not him. He killed Randy [music] and the security guard. He was going to kill us all.
>> No, it's not me. I followed the killer.
I found the knife because he must have dropped it.
>> Stop lying.
>> Kicking him is not going to help us.
>> She's not one of your NSA deals, Gail.
>> Your NSA?
>> Yeah. Turns out all this time I thought it was you.
>> You're already my least favorite person.
Don't [ __ ] push it.
>> Jim, [music] just let me talk to him.
He's not under arrest. This is the [ __ ] that wanted to [ __ ] kill us, Gail.
>> I'm not the killer.
>> Stop doing that. He's not the killer.
>> He tried to kill us all, Louis.
>> No, he didn't.
>> Yes, he did. Look around. Okay, I know that I'm not the killer. It's not you.
It's not Gail. So, it must be him.
>> You're so sure we're the only ones down here. What if you're wrong?
>> No, I am not wrong. There is nobody else in here.
I think there must be.
>> There can't be.
>> He has a point.
If it's not one of us, what if there's someone else down here?
>> The killer has got to be Linda. I keep on trying to tell you he's not the killer. It's >> not me.
>> Shut up. I saw him on the tape.
>> What?
>> You know the tape that's full of everything that haven't happened yet?
>> Yeah.
>> I saw Mr. Lando running.
He's not the killer.
>> How do you know?
>> Because I saw the killer, too.
>> So, who is it, Louis?
I don't know [panting] >> what.
>> I couldn't see his face.
>> Great.
>> But it's not him.
>> I'll show you.
>> Gail, please go see what he's talking about. All right. I'm going to stay here and watch this [ __ ] >> Don't hurt him anymore.
>> Don't do this. You mean no kicking? Got it.
You can keep kicking me, but it's not going to make you right.
>> Yeah, but it makes me feel better. So, >> oh, and by the way, we found this.
Okay, you're not going to like seeing this.
>> Wait, who's filming this?
depressingly me.
I I think >> I was the one who gave Jim the camera, >> right?
>> Okay. See, the next part's a doozy.
So, there that's Lando.
Now, tell me about 2029.
>> The world is a [ __ ] up place.
>> What happened to your accent?
There is no accent.
I was born here.
Fact, this morning I watched my mother take me to school.
>> [ __ ] all that [ __ ] Where did you get this disc?
>> The only thing I really know is the name Max Develin.
>> Max Develin? Okay. Who the hell is Max Develin?
>> No one knows who he is. But all we know is that he's like a ghost that haunts the stock exchange and [snorts] he's got more money than you can ever imagine.
>> I can imagine a hell of a lot right now.
So, please.
>> He works through a network of Wall Street traders.
No one knows who they're working for.
All they know is that they make trades and they win big every time. They never [music] lose because of the disc. That was his secret and I found it.
>> How?
>> I don't know. All these clues, you know, they were left for me like like breadcrumbs. Almost like he wanted me to find it.
>> Don't get upset.
See, that's you and that's the killer.
>> Come on.
>> Damn it. I can't see his face.
>> It's almost like he knows the camera is there. Those clues led me to a small town in Arizona called Destiny. Guess that was Develin's idea of a joke.
>> Okay. So, what's the joke?
>> I discovered a top secret facility underground and it was a time machine >> like ours.
>> No, this one actually worked.
>> Ours works.
>> No, he perfected it. His machine was advanced [music] and it didn't cause any brain damage.
>> Wait, what?
>> I'm sorry. I The nose bleeds, the dizziness.
Thought you would have figured that out.
>> Why didn't you [ __ ] warn me?
>> I couldn't. I couldn't because the machine that we are building now is the basis of the one that Delin builds in 2029.
>> [crying] >> Except he perfects it.
[panting] So we had to build it.
If it wasn't built, I couldn't be here right now.
>> If Lando's not the killer, he >> he's [music] still out there.
>> Yeah, but right now >> doing what?
So, I went to Destiny. I broke into Max Develin's facility. I had the disc. And that's when I thought I knew who Develin really was.
And it was me.
>> Wait, what? I realized I could go back in time. I could amass a fortune. I could build a time machine just like he did, except [music] it would be me. I could take over his life.
And then I thought maybe maybe it was me all along.
All these paradoxes make my [ __ ] head hurt.
>> That's not the reason why your head hurts. Oh yeah.
Thanks for reminding me.
>> Once the killing started, I knew I was wrong. So if we find out who the real killer is, we're going to find Max Delin.
>> No, you're lying. You're the only one who knew about that disc. Only you had a motive.
>> Jim, it's not [music] him. I just watched the tape. He's not the killer.
>> Self-destruct sequence activated.
I told you there was somebody else in the building.
>> Jim, you're going to have to go to the lab. You're going to have to try and override it.
>> How much time do I have?
>> 25 minutes.
>> Okay, I'm going to get Louis.
>> Be safe.
>> Guys, you can't leave me here.
>> Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
[ __ ] I should know this.
>> Okay, Louis. Come on. It's time to go.
Come on.
>> There's no [music] point running. Don't you get it?
>> What?
>> We're trapped in a colossal loop.
>> Okay, we don't know that, Louis. Okay, so we have to try. All right, we have to go. Come on.
>> It's all on the tape.
The tape is like a [ __ ] prophecy.
>> We don't We don't know that. All right.
So, we have to fight. We have to try.
Louisis, come on.
>> There's nothing we can do.
We can't change our fate.
>> There was Damn it.
>> [ __ ] Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on.
No, no, no. Please, please. We can work together. No. Listen to me. Listen to me, man. We can work. No. No. No. No. I got a plan. No. Please. Please. Please.
>> When the time comes, press the red button.
Elevator not responding. [ __ ] All I wanted to do was to go back to that night, stop myself from getting into that [ __ ] car.
[screaming] >> [groaning] >> Ah!
Give this to Jim. It's your only chance.
The killer let me go.
>> Why would he do that?
[music] I don't know. All I All All I know is that he told me to come and press the red button. So >> what?
>> That's what I'm going to do.
>> What are you talking about?
>> He told me to press the red button. So that's what I'm going to do. Okay. I don't >> Back up. Back up.
>> Please don't shoot. I'm just doing what you What's happening? What's happening?
Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, shoot him.
You said there was bodies everywhere.

>> No. No. No. He killed He killed him.
He's the one. He killed him. They'll shoot him.
>> You have no idea what happens to you.
Your head comes back. Just your head.
No. You're dead. Bill, shoot him.
>> I'm going to drop my gun. Okay, I'm going to drop my gun.
>> No, no, no, no. Bill, shoot him. He's trying to confuse you.
>> Look, I know your mind feels like it [music] went through a blender, but it's because of the machine, okay? That you've got brain damage. This [ __ ] he lied to us. He has no accent.
>> No. What are [music] you talking about?
Don't listen to him.
>> I'm not the killer. I'm gonna drop the gun. Okay.
>> I'm not the killer, man. He is.
[groaning] >> Right before you came, [music] he was trying to kill me. Bill.
>> Tim. Shoot him.
>> Did you You said that there was Everyone was dead. There was bodies. You're a liar.
>> There's going to be yours included.
>> You're a liar.
>> No. No. No. Bill. Bill. You heard that, right? He's trying to He's trying to threaten you. He's trying to threaten you. Shut the [ __ ] up. Shoot him, Bill.
Shoot.
You son of a [ __ ] No, it's Thanks.
[music] [ __ ] kill you.
I did what you said.
I pressed the red button.
Wait, what the [ __ ] are you talking about? Yeah, I am.
You're Max Delin. No, you're going to kill us all and you're going to take the disc. Oh, you're going to become Max Develin.
I never wanted to hurt you, but I I love you.
Don't you understand?
I have it all figured out, okay? I did this for our future.
Don't you understand? You're insane. I'm not a killer. Now you are going to kill us all. I'm >> not a killer.
>> Not quite. But give it time.
>> What? What the hell is going on? Look, we can work this out. We can [music] we can work this out. I've been working for you the whole time. I just didn't know it.
There's no way that I could have known about the project in [music] in Destiny, right? Okay. There's no way I could have gotten that disc. Did exactly what you needed me to do. Okay. You knew that.
Okay. You You're going to remember this.
Okay, listen. [music] 2029.
You're going to remember this. [panting] Don't you see that? Okay. I've been your point. Whatever you needed me to do, I'll I'll do it.
>> Good. And I [music] guess I'll see you later.
>> Jimmy, please. You don't have You don't have to do this.
>> Do what? I I haven't done anything.
>> Um, you just beheaded Bill. Holy [ __ ] My head.
>> Sure. Make ourselves feel better. Blame the brain damage.
>> Who knows? Maybe it really is to blame.
>> And here goes nothing.
>> It's working. We've got power.
I >> think it's going to hold.
What did you do? Why?
>> I went back and did what I had to do.
First, I killed Randy before he could warn any of us not to come. Then, I killed that new [music] security guard, whatever his name was.
>> Van Lang.
>> Nice of you to remember, but we know you're going to forget.
>> What? Keep up, [music] okay? Don't make me feel stupid.
>> Don't listen to him, Jim. You're a good person.
>> Thank you, but shut up. Why would I? We I Why would I kill anybody? You know [music] why? You saw the tape. All those rich [ __ ] saying all those things about us. You got mad. No. Not Not enough to kill people. And then we found [music] out that the woman that we love has been lying to us this whole time, tricking us, trying [music] to trap us.
>> I know we love her, but we don't even know her real name.
>> You know me, Jim. Okay, I know you you were not a killer.
>> Then you saw what was on Landau's disc.
What dear old dad would have killed for a real sure thing.
But but I never Yes, you did. You can't lie to me. You can't lie to yourself.
Okay, you started to think about all that money and power and all you had [music] to do was go back and kill a few people. I can't kill people. I can't.
But this is your chance. Okay. This is why you pounded keyboards [music] every night until your fingers bled. Why you got a scholarship to MIT, got to the top of your class, got in front of Lando, got on Project 880.
>> Tell them you won't do it. Jim, you're a good person. You can't.
>> Shut the [ __ ] up. Whoever you are, you know what you have to do. Okay. Killing [music] Randy will be the hardest, but it gets easier. Killing Lando, you'll almost enjoy.
[snorts] >> Please listen to me.
>> He doesn't have a choice. I didn't have a choice. [music] >> You have a choice. Just don't do what he says.
>> He doesn't have a choice. And he sure as [ __ ] doesn't have the time for this.
Another one of us is coming in a minute.
Okay. He can't see us.
>> Jim, I'm begging you. him or me?

>> Nope. They hated you. Just [music] saying. Please. I just need to think.
Please. Please don't do this.
I can't let you do this.

>> Sorry. Can't cause a paradox. Blah blah blah. You're such an [ __ ] Well, I'm you, so I'm not doing it. But we both know that you will. I'm not going back.
I know that you do because I've [music] already been in this conversation as you. Oh, this can't be happening. Don't you see? You have no choice. Why?
[snorts] Why do I have to kill people?
Because I already did. [music] I'm sorry, but we can't change it now. Quick, give me the disc.
I I really wanted to hold on to it.
You are holding on to it.
I hid this stuff in here just for you.
