[SIGHS] Transfer me to research. Sir, what Merrick did, it doesn't make any sense.
24:54
OK, follow that line of thought. Well, the guy hijacks a plane, doesn't ask for any money, doesn't make any demands whatsoever--
25:00
So, what does that tell you, think.
25:05
Get a shrink down here, we'll see if our Mr. Merrick's got all his marbles. [PHONE RINGS]
25:10
Check the marbles, check the marbles. [PHONE RINGS] [SIGHS]
25:16
Research. TOM MERRICK (ON PHONE): It's Tom Merrick, I need a favor. You left my office in a complete mess,
25:22
you hung up on me the last time we spoke, and now you want-- I found something on your system.
25:27
Uh yeah, that is the point of using it, right? I don't understand it all yet, but it may be something big.
25:34
Oh please, Merrick, this isn't going to be one of those story of the century calls, is it? Do you have any idea how many reporters have thrown that stuff my way?
25:40
Any of them commandeer a plane, force it to land, and get arrested by the FBI? Yeah, right.
25:45
I'm out of here. TOM (ON PHONE): Wait, wait, wait. Don't hang up. There's a file on your system, merrick.doc.
25:53
I dumped three photos into it. I need you to make hard copies and bring them down to me at the FBI office.
25:58
[CHUCKLES] I don't have time to be a delivery woman. [SIGHS] Look, Merrick, I would like to help, but--
26:04
TOM (ON PHONE): Listen to me, you're a researcher. I'm hoping that means you're genetically curious. Pull the file, look at it yourself,
26:11
you won't be disappointed, merrick.doc. I'm counting on you.
26:17
[LINE DISCONNECTS] Oh.
26:23
Story of the century, my ass.
26:30
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]
26:37
Titanic, Hindenburg-- oh, wow.
26:58
Wow.
 

45:50 DRIVER: Hey, thanks. Thanks very much. TOM: Is this your place? - My folks.

45:56

They're out of town.

Dad always says you can never have too many power tools. [TOOL WHIRS]

46:11

Wait, are you sure you know what you're doing? Yeah, I remember watching him use this when I was like three. Didn't seem too difficult. Kidding, kidding.1:08:09
[CHEERS]
1:08:19
Cortez, Merrick is dead. The fire that's supposed to bring this place down will still work, so we don't actually need to kill anybody.
1:08:26
[BOMB BEEPING] Listen to me. It is one thing to defend an existing timeline,
1:08:33
another thing entirely to purposely invoke a disaster. Have you listened to a word I've said?
1:08:39
Don't you feel any responsibility? What kind of person are you? The kind who will do anything, anything to stabilize
1:08:46
this timeline long enough to get a reset and save my son, you understand?
1:08:52
You don't give a damn about any of them, do you? To the extent that they could screw up our timeline?
1:08:57
Yeah. They're people. They are dust!
1:09:02
If you're so worried about them, why the hell are you here? You think I want to be doing this, working for some two-bit underground firm that
1:09:09
uses the greatest technology ever invented for amusement rides? I was legit once.
1:09:15
Yeah, right. I was with the government's temporal development program, Cortez.
1:09:21
Oh, let me guess, when they shut it down and illegalized time travel, you were already hooked.
1:09:27
I'm trying to figure who is lower on your moral scale, me, who does it for the money, or you,
1:09:35
who does it for thrills? [FOOTSTEPS RECEDING]
