I put in some overtime. Where did it go? On you. They drink it in New Greenwich. Happy 50th. 50, that's right. 25 for the 25th time. Oh, I was sure I'd have a grandchild by now. Here we go. Bella's daughter's always asking about to. Who has time for a girlfriend? Besides, what's the hurry? What do you got? Three days. Not even. We owe half that in rent, eight for the electric and we're still late on that loan. I can make extra on the side, you know. I can... Start fighting? Nobody wins. Yeah. I'm not here tonight. I got two days' work in the Garment district. Meet me tomorrow after I pay the loan. I won't have long. days' work in the Garment district. Meet me tomorrow after I pay the loan. I won't have long. I'll be there. Will, I just wouldn't know what to do if I lost you. I'm late. I'm giving you 30 minutes so you can have a decent lunch. (gentle pulsing) (pulsing accelerates) I love you. Happy birthday, Mom. When you get back, we're gonna celebrate. (indistinct voices/music) (child) Will! Will! You got a minute? What are you talking about, Maya? You have a whole year. Not a year I can use yet. Come on, Will, I've got bills to pay. Here, take five minutes. (pulsing/bleeping) Get out of here. (muffled PA announcements) Four minutes for a cup of coffee? Yesterday it was three. Coffee or you wanna reminisce? Yesterday it was three. Coffee or you wanna reminisce? Two coffees. How many shifts you got today, Borel? Two. Really excited about it. If you had any of your father in you we could make a fortune. I don't fight. There's another one. Broad daylight. (machine clanks/hisses/ indistinct PA announcements) (bleeping) Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is this? Where's the rest? (bleeping) Whoa, whoa, whoa. What is this? Where's the rest? You haven't met the quota. My units are up from last week. So is the quota. Next. That's a joke, right? Next. (man) Move, you're taking for ever. (muffled music from the bar) (music blares) Are you in, Will? I don't have time to gamble anymore. Thank God, because ever since you stopped playing, I started winning. I don't have time to gamble anymore. Thank God, because ever since you stopped playing, I started winning. You still owe me one hour. (pulsing) Have you seen Borel? Will! Hey, man. Your wife's looking for you. You won't believe this. This man has been buying drinks all night. He's got a century. Come on, let me get you home. As soon as I finish this drink. Hey, you. You! I want everything. Do you wanna come home with me? You can take us both home. Excuse me. You need to get out of here. Somebody's gonna clean that clock. Yes. I mean, they're aren't gonna rob you. They're gonna kill you. You can't take that much time and let you live to tell about it. Yes. I don't think you understand. You should not be here. Will. Will! Minutemen. Minutemen. Walk away, Will. Those gangsters aren't playing around. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Will. Those gangsters aren't playing around. Wait, wait, wait, wait. He's asking for it. Let's go. He's not one of us. Do you think he'd help us? Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid. Go. My name is Fortis. And that, sir, is a very nice watch. Do you mind if I try it on? I think it would suit me. I tell you what. I'll fight you for it. Come on. I am an old man. I turned 75 last week. I need a moment. You ready to go? Ready to go. Let's get you out of here. Get 'em! Stop, what are you doing? I can take care of myself. Get 'em! Stop, what are you doing? I can take care of myself. Yeah, looked like it. I know what I'm doing. Run. Run! (car starts) (screeching tyres) Come on! Here. Hurry! Move! Where the hell are you going? Get in here! (they pound the lock-ups) (clattering) I know who took 'im. I know who he is. Who he was. (they both pant) Oh, dammit, dammit, damn. (chuckles) What the hell are you doing here? Flashing all that? Are you out of your mind? Henry Hamilton. Will Salas. (gasps/coughs) God. Drink more, it gets better. Oh. Not much better. You'll be safe till morning. I'll get you out of here. You're from New Greenwich. Does it show? Nah. Looks like you could use some help yourself. No, thanks. How old are you? In real time. I'm 28. I'm 105. Good for you. You won't see 106 if you have too many more nights like tonight. Good for you. You won't see 106 if you have too many more nights like tonight. You're right. But the day comes when you've had enough. Your mind can be spent even if your body's not. We want to die. We need to. That's your problem? You've been alive too long. Ever known anyone who's died? For a few to be immortal many must die. What the hell's that supposed to mean? You really don't know, do you? Everyone can't live for ever. Where would we put them? Why do you think there are time zones? Why do you think taxes and prices go up the same day in the ghetto? The cost of living keeps rising to make sure people keep dying. How else could there be men with a million years while most live day to day? But the truth is... .. there's more than enough. No one has to die before their time. If you had as much time as I have, on that clock, what would you do with it? I'd stop watching it. I can tell you one thing. If I had all that time, I sure as hell wouldn't waste it. Get some rest. Don't worry, I won't take it in the night. Get some rest. Don't worry, I won't take it in the night. And I won't take yours. Ah. It does get better. (pulsing) (amplified pulsing) (yelps in pain) (birds squawk) (pants) Hey, Will. Hey, Greta. Is Borel in? Yeah. Borel. Look at that. Shame we gotta wait 25 years. Could use that year right now. Borel. I'm here. Better get her inside, Greta. Look at this. Where did you get? The guy at the bar. They were gonna kill him. He gave it to me. He timed himself out before I could stop him. He gave it to me. He timed himself out before I could stop him. No one gives anybody 100 years. He didn't just give me this. He gave me the truth about it. You can't let anyone see it. You know that time will get you killed. How long have we been friends? Ten years? Here. (pulsing) A decade. You've been like a brother. Where are you going? Where this won't look out of place. I've finally got the time to take my mom to New Greenwich. Greta, I'm going out. (automated voice) Loan payment received, two days. Thank you. Dayton. Two hours. It's always been an hour. Two hours. It's always been an hour. And now it's two, the price went up. Since when? Since today. My son is meeting me. He'll pay the difference. Since today. My son is meeting me. He'll pay the difference. I can't do that. Policy. Please? It's a two-hour walk. I have an hour and a half. Then you better run. Stop, please, stop! Wait! Please! Wait! No! Please! (gasps) Mom? Will! Will! Will! Mom! Oh no! (sobs) No, no, no! No! (wails) No! Mom! (wails) 13 zeroes. Unlucky for all. The last time anyone saw him alive, there was a century on that clock. Well, around here they'd kill you for a week. there was a century on that clock. Well, around here they'd kill you for a week. What was he doing in this time zone? What I was thinking, was he might have brought this on himself. Interesting. How long have you been keeping time? Five years. Let me know what you think when you've been doing it for 50. Doesn't matter why he came here, what matters are the 100 years that came with him. Gotta be a witness. Trust me, no one saw anything. Gotta be a witness. Trust me, no one saw anything. What would you like us to do, sir? Gotta be a witness. Trust me, no one saw anything. What would you like us to do, sir? What we always do. Follow the time. Hey, Ray. I'll give you ten minutes for an hour. When will you get out of the game, Leila? You gotta be pushing 60. ten minutes for an hour. When will you get out of the game, Leila? You gotta be pushing 60. Thanks for letting everyone know. Am I in the right place? We don't normally make pick-ups in this zone. I was lost. (automated voice) Please deposit one month. (bleeping) (automated voice) Please deposit two months. There are more of these than I remember. That was a year. Welcome to New Greenwich. What are you really doing here? I'm gonna take them for everything they've got. I'm gonna make them pay. Please, miss, you can't be too careful. I'm gonna make them pay. Please, miss, you can't be too careful. Are you sure? What does a night here cost? Two months for a standard room. Give me a suite. Do you need help with your bags? Give me a suite. Do you need help with your bags? No. The camera doesn't show us how the body got into the river. What do we really know? What do we know? We know that most thefts in Dayton amount to hours or days. This was a century. I don't see anymore in circulation. He could have capsuled the time. I don't see anymore in circulation. He could have capsuled the time. You can't hide 100 years in the ghetto. They can sense when a man has a month more than he should. That time left town. (sighs deeply) That'll be eight and a half weeks. Take a week for yourself. Thanks. You're not from around here, are you? You do everything a little too fast. Not everything. What's that place across the street? Not everything. What's that place across the street? The casino. Can anybody go? Not dressed like that. Good luck. Sir, you were right. We turned back the clocks the day of Hamilton's death, the time checks, someone spent years crossing four different time zones from Dayton... To New Greenwich. Cameras picked up on his strange behaviour. He is conscious of the surveillance. He doesn't have a bodyguard, and he runs. If he has time he doesn't need to run. and he runs. If he has time he doesn't need to run. It's a hard habit to break. Are you looking for a match? His name is Will Salas. You know him? No. I remember his father. Good evening. I assume my time is as good as anyone's? Indeed it is. However, there is a voluntary donation. For non-members. Most give a year. (pulsing) What's your game? Poker. Right this way. What's the limit? There is none. I don't believe we've had the pleasure of your company, Mr... There is none. I don't believe we've had the pleasure of your company, Mr... Salas. Will Salas. Philippe Weis. You must come from time. You could say I am gambling my inheritance. You must come from time. You could say I am gambling my inheritance. You don't have a guard, Mr Salas? I assumed I was amongst friends. I bet you 50 years. (pulsing) You must be young. When you've been 25 for 85 years like I have knowing only a random act of violence can take your life, you learn to appreciate what you have. You seem to have a lot to appreciate. I call. Of course some think what we have is unfair. The time difference between zones. I've heard that. But isn't this just the next logical step in our evolution? And hasn't evolution always been unfair? It's always been survival of the fittest. Raise you another two centuries. This is merely Darwinian capitalism. Natural selection. This is merely Darwinian capitalism. Natural selection. Absolutely. The strong survive. And I think your hand is weak. I call. (pulsing) It appears you're all in, Mr Salas. 13 figures. Well played. That was some risk. It wasn't a risk. No offence. I knew I was going to win. (chuckles softly) Confusing times. Is she my mother, my sister or my daughter? You're hoping she's not my wife. Things used to be simpler once. So I'm told. Very beautiful. Daughter. But she does look a lot like my wife. Sylvia. Will Salas. Congratulations, Mr Salas. You have taken years off my father's life. Congratulations, Mr Salas. You have taken years off my father's life. Which is normally what you do. You have taken years Isn't that right, my darling? Which is normally what you do. You have taken years Isn't that right, my darling? We're having a party tomorrow night. Perhaps you'll give him a chance to win back some of those years? I'd love to. Carl will tell you where I am. Good night, Mr Salas. Sylvia, stay with your guards. 59 years? Plus tax. (pulsing) Price includes delivery. (pulsing) Price includes delivery. Delivery? To wherever you're going to display it. Display it? Hell, I'm gonna drive it. (engine roars/tyres screech) (chatter/soft music) Will Salas. Allow me to introduce my mother-in-law Clara. My wife Michelle and my daughter Sylvia. I believe you two have already met. Nice to meet you all. I'll come find you later... .. for our game. I look forward to it. I don't think we've ever been so busy. UPBEAT MUSIC Since becoming a ready business a year ago, work's picked up, and we've added six more jobs a day. I've put this down to our new way of working. Everyone's on the same page, making managing jobs simple as. I don't think we've ever been so busy. There's more cash in the till, and we've even brought on a new bloke. Ooh, a bit cold, mate. More Kiwi businesses are benefitting from being ready. You can too. Please, call me Will. It's OK, Constantin. Do you always have a hired hand standing right next to you? It's OK, Constantin. Do you always have a hired hand standing right next to you? No, I usually have two. It doesn't make it very easy to get to know you. I think that's the idea. Your idea? My father's. I think that's the idea. Your idea? My father's. I understand. You all have a lot to lose. So do you. What do you do, Will? I haven't quite figured that out yet. Yes, why bother? What's the hurry. Right. Why do today what you can do in a century? I know one thing we can do. Dance with me. Do you really come from time? Why would you doubt that? I saw you running. Reminds me of people that come from the ghetto. Sometimes I envy them. You don't know anything. Oh no? The clock is good for no one. The poor die and the rich don't live. We can all live for ever as long as we don't do anything foolish. Doesn't that scare you? That maybe you'll never do anything foolish, or courageous or anything worth a damn? Come with me. (crashing waves) This was tonight. He is only an hour ahead of us. Look at that. I've never seen anything like it. What are you doing? We don't go in. You're insane. You have this in your backyard, and you never go in? And I'm insane? Well, what are you waiting for? Sylvia, come on! What happened to doing something foolish? (breathes heavily) (muffled splashing) I don't know you. We can change that. I get it. You're out here, all alone. With a stranger. You can't be too careful. With a stranger. You can't be too careful. Maybe you can. (guard) Sylvia! Sylvia! I have to go back. To what? You should go back. Have you seen my daughter? I have. She's with her guards. Right behind you. Thank God. Now, how about that game? (doors banged open/guests gasp) It's alright, everyone. What's this about? I'm sorry to have to break up the party, Mr Weis. I just need a word with your friend. My friend. Very well. I'm Time Keeper Raymond Leon. I'm Will Salas. I'm Time Keeper Raymond Leon. I'm Will Salas. I know. What are you doing in this zone? It's not illegal, is it? To change time zones? It's not illegal, is it? To change time zones? No, it's not illegal. It's just rare. Where did you get that? I won it. Gambling. All of it? No. A man named Henry Hamilton gave me over a century. He said he didn't need it anymore. He timed himself out. Henry Hamilton was worth thousands of years. He could practically live for ever. Do you expect me to believe that he was immortal and he wanted to die? live for ever. Do you expect me to believe that he was immortal and he wanted to die? I don't expect you to believe it. But it's the truth. It was a gift. I'm not a thief. But, hey, if you guys are looking for stolen time... .. maybe you should arrest everyone here. looking for stolen time... .. maybe you should arrest everyone here. Oh, I see. You're talking about justice. I'm a Time Keeper. I don't concern myself with justice. I only concern myself with what I can measure. Seconds, minutes, hours. I keep time. And that time is in the wrong hands. That time will be held. Along with you. (pulsing) We'll leave you two hours for booking and processing. Why are you investigating a suicide? There's mass murder in the ghetto every day. That is fascinating. I heard another man talk like that. It was over 20 years ago. You're probably too young to remember your father. We'll arrange safe transport. This is New Greenwich, after all. Sylvia, do as I say. Go with the guards. Oh for God's sake, father. There's an army in this house. If we can't stop one man from killing us we should kill ourselves. (guests shout/scream) Stop him! Move! Get out of the way! Put it down or I'll blow her head off. Thanks. (screeching tyres) (siren) You're gonna kill us. Please just let me out. (tyres squeal) What are you doing? Do you even know how drive? What's there to know? (lorry horn) (windows shatter) Give me some time. I guess you really are from the ghetto after all. What the hell do you know about where I'm from? Give me some time. Are you gonna kill me, like you killed Henry Hamilton? Lend me an hour. I'm not giving you a second. I should have listened to my father. Please take me home. Please. I can't do that. Why? You're keeping me alive. Keep that covered. If anybody sees it you're definitely dead. (starts engine) (hissing/tyres squeal) (crashing/shattering glass) (hissing) (vehicle approaches) Now that worked too well. You guys wasted a gorgeous car. Look who it is. Who it was. He's done in minutes. He'll wake up dead. That'll be a shock. Too bad. I would have preferred to kill him more beautifully. The girl's still breathing. to kill him more beautifully. The girl's still breathing. She's got a decade. Holy shit! The man he stole from had more than a century. (pulsing) What? We'll divide it later. It's like an angel fell from the sky. (screeching tyres) Hey! Fortis, leave it! Fortis! (engine starts) Look at me. Are you OK? No. Why are you laughing? We're not dead. We're not alive for long either. Where did my time go? I have a half hour. You got lucky. Minutemen. Does everyone in the ghetto steal? That's rich coming from you. Please help me, Will. Does everyone in the ghetto steal? That's rich coming from you. Please help me, Will. Let me guess. Now you like the idea of sharing. Come here. Don't worry, it's not the first time I've been this broke. Come here. Don't worry, it's not the first time I've been this broke. It's a first for me. What are we gonna do? Whatever we have to. Come on, we gotta go. (squealing tyres) Dispatch, wire me my per diem. (automated voice) Time transfer. (pulsing) Cutting it close again, sir. I'm still walking around. Judging by the lack of dead bodies, I have to assume they are also. They got jacked. Couldn't have left here with more than minutes. I have to assume they are also. They got jacked. Couldn't have left here with more than minutes. He's back in his old neighbourhood. Where do you want us to start looking? We don't. He'll come to us. Borel. Borel, open up. It's Will. Greta. Where's Borel? Greta. Where's Borel? He's dead. Dead? Why? You gave him a decade. He drank himself to death with nine years on his clock. You gave him a decade. He drank himself to death with nine years on his clock. Jesus Christ. Greta, I'm so sorry. (baby cries) Goodbye, Will. Will, we have minutes. Try not to act like that. What is that supposed to mean? Shut up! We're gonna die, Will. Do you wanna die? Shut up! Hope those are real. Run. Stop! Stop! Please! Wait! (man's voice) Come back in an hour. That won't be possible. Here. I'll give you two days for them. They are diamonds. You can take the 48 hours or you can be a pretty corpse. They are diamonds. You can take the 48 hours or you can be a pretty corpse. We'll take it. (pulsing) Don't make a sound. Give me my time. Let's go. I guess I got my wish. I did do something foolish. Your name's on a lot of buildings. That's my father's name. How much is he worth anyway? Eons. What do you think he'd pay to get you back? You have no shame, do you? pay to get you back? You have no shame, do you? Hey. (automated voice) Please deposit one minute. Dial. (ringing tone) (phone rings) Hello? Mr Weis, please give the phone to the Time Keeper. Hello, Will. How much do you want? 1,000 years. (guffaws) You'll never live to spend it. Then distribute it to the timelines in Dayton. Do it before sunrise tomorrow and she can go home. Will, I'm afraid for you, Will. You keep talking like him, you're gonna die like him. Hey, my father died in a fight, trying to take a man's time. you're gonna die like him. Hey, my father died in a fight, trying to take a man's time. No, his crime wasn't taking time. He was doing something far more dangerous. Please don't make your father's mistake. Dayton, Pear Tree Plaza. I know it. 1,000 years, to the timelines. 1,000 years? That's nothing. It's for our daughter. No, it's for them. This is insane. They can take your time, just like that. Or you can take theirs. This is insane. Yeah, it's insane. You should be safe here until dawn. I pay by the day. It'll take them a while to find me. This is your place? It's water. It's cold. That's something. You can put on fresh clothes. (siren wails) (footsteps) Where's your family? My mother timed out. This is her dress? Yeah. What about your father? He died when I was a boy. He was a fighter. Strong arm. He wasn't the strongest but he knew how to win. How do you win? I'll show you. What you do is let them have the upper hand. And then he let his time go all the way down. Because he knew, that when you're down to your last seconds and they think it's over... .. they start watching your clock... .. and forget to watch their own. He died in a fight? I think he was killed. For giving away what he had won. He wasn't just giving them time. He was giving them hope. How long have you been this old? 25 for three. 25 for two. What was it like when your clock started? 'I was in the street.' (gasps violently) 'It almost knocked me over.' 'My year was gone in a week away. We were so in debt.' After that, I live day to day. Mine was a little different. It woke me. (gasps) 'I looked in the mirror.' 'I guess everybody does.' 'That's what you're gonna look like for the rest of your life.' My dad gave me a decade to celebrate. You must hate me. Where I come from. It's nobody's fault, what they're born with. (loads his gun) (cocks his gun) They open in a minute. Let's see how generous your father is now. (buzzes) Time Keepers would never let him do it. (buzzes) Time Keepers would never let him do it. You don't have to say that. How do you think my father built all those buildings? By giving away 1,000 years? Now what? You can go home. There's people on the streets. You can move without being spotted. What have you got? 11 hours. How does anyone live like this? 11 hours. How does anyone live like this? You don't generally sleep in. Call for help. I'll watch from here. I'll make sure you're safe. Call for help. I'll watch from here. I'll make sure you're safe. You could fight this. I can say that running to the ghetto was my idea. My father would believe that. He thinks I'm reckless. He has a lot of influence, Will. He can get you a lawyer. He can make a deal with those Time Keepers. I'm pretty sure that Time Keeper doesn't make deals. What are you gonna do? Steal? Is it stealing if it's already stolen? Here, just in case. I'll be right here. (automated voice) Please deposit one minute. (phone rings) "Father?" Sylvia? You couldn't spare a second? I wish I could say I'm surprised. Did you hear what I just said? "You know I'd do anything for you." They're coming to get you. They know where you are. Will, look out! (pants) Sorry to disappoint. We don't keep much on us. To discourage thieves, like you. Think of this as a gift. Will, come on! (tyres squeal) I didn't mean to shoot him. I wanted to scare him. Think you did both. You could say thank you. Thank you. What have you got? Nine hours. Why did you give him time? You should have taken it. Time Keepers live day to day. It'll be hours before the others show up. He could die in the ghetto. Still might. Time Keeper, what's the hurry? Stay a while! You might like us if you got to know us. (they taunt him) They'll think you're with me. Yes. This is a mess. Welcome to my world. (shouting/taunting) Back off. Have you been shot? I was worried you timed out. Where did you get that? What are we gonna do? We can't keep driving around in this car. It's a cop car. So let's make an arrest. (siren wails) Was I going too fast? Not fast enough. The mistake you made was stopping. Now, let's see who you got back there. Gotta be a year or two nobody's using. (gunshot) Whoa! It went off. I was just trying to help. Come on. Now I'd say, your money or your life. But since your money is your life... How dare you steal from me? Don't think of it as stealing. No? Think of it as repossession. (pulsing) I'll leave you with whatever I had every day of my life. One day. One day? Are you insane? You can do a lot in a day. Those are pretty. I owe you these. You shouldn't have. You, out. (TV) Will Salas, prime suspect in the murder of Henry Hamilton, is believed to be travelling with Sylvia Weis, daughter of finance magnate Philippe Weis. Citizens are advised to exercise extreme... (switches off) We look cute together. Doesn't say you're wanted. It doesn't say I'm not. You've forgotten I shot a cop. I admit, not very well. (chuckles) That was your first time. Hey. I can say I made you do all of it. You can go back. Go back to what? Do I really wanna spend my whole life trying not to die by mistake? A lot of people would say being here is a mistake. I don't have a choice. I'm starting to think that I don't either. I want to reassure you there is no cause for alarm. No ransom was paid. (male voice) "Your zone's at risk, Philippe." (female voice) "It puts us at risk. It can spread." "Too much time in the wrong hands can crash the market." This hostage situation will be quickly resolved. Sir? Everything is under control. We'll talk soon. Time Keeper, after this regrettable incident it's really not necessary for you to come in person. I'm afraid it really is necessary. When can we hope for a rescue? I'm afraid it really is necessary. When can we hope for a rescue? I believe that's the point. She doesn't appear to want to be rescued. Mr Leon. Raymond. May I call you Raymond? I blame myself. I invited the man into my home. He had so much time. How was I supposed to know? Of course, Sylvia brought this on herself by her lack of vigilance. That's why I always try to keep her close. But she is clearly under Will Salas's control. If it's a matter of resources, I am happy to make a contribution. It's a scandal what we pay our Time Keepers. I have issued a warrant for your daughter's arrest. If she contacts you and you assist her in any way, I will issue a warrant for your arrest. There's nothing I cannot buy. Now, how many of my years do you want? There aren't enough years. Not even in your lifetime, Mr Weis. Good night. This is called a trigger. You don't pull it until you actually want to shoot something. (shoots) I wanted to shoot something. Right. Will, if you get a lot of time, are you really gonna give it away? I only ever had a day. How much do you need? How can you live with yourself watching people die right next to you. You don't watch. You close your eyes. I can help you get all the time you want. I need to borrow a month. What's the interest? Today's rate, 30 percent. What's the interest? Today's rate, 30 percent. I can't pay it back. We can always come to some arrangement. I can't pay it back. We can always come to some arrangement. (horn) (alarm) Let's go. Ladies and gentlemen, I am happy to announce that Weis Timelenders is now offering interest-free loans with no payments. Ever. So help yourselves and take a day. Take a month. Hell, take a year. Come on, help yourselves! Take it. So help yourselves and take a day. Take a month. Hell, take a year. Come on, help yourselves! Take it. Take your time, it's free. (shouting/excited chatter) No one's watching their clocks, huh? Get out of here. Or I'll confiscate every second. He must have thought it was a drive-through. (pulsing) Turn around. Don't move. I don't have much. Everything I have, I give away. I know. (pulsing) Yes, sir, I do know that, sir. There are years that shouldn't be there. I will stop him, sir. Doesn't he understand he's hurting the very people he's trying to help? Well, now. Look at all that. I finally had time to buy one of these. Let's not do anything I might regret. (pants) What was that about? Waste of 30 days. (TV) And today, Sylvia Weis withdrew some of her inheritance when she and Will Salas robbed her father's time bank for the sixth time in a week. I gave her everything. Does she want to kill me? You were killing her, Philippe. You were suffocating her. You suffocate us all. Call. That's good. Just... not as good as that. Ooh, you haven't forgotten how to play cards. Why did I play strip poker with you? Why did you? So, they are still there. How did you know, sir? This is where the hours in the days are. He's paid 'em all off. (cocks his gun) And this is where I would hide. Put your clothes on. Hey! Stop! (woman screams) We're trapped! No, we're not. Jump. They won't do it. We shouldn't do it. Come on! See? They won't jump. So much for your theory. See? They won't jump. So much for your theory. Shit. Here. Go! Stop! Stop! He'll give up before we do. Are you sure about that? No. Go. I can't. You can. Go! Un-fucking-believable. (pulsating music over following scenes) Hold on. You two look familiar. How about now? (both pant) Welcome to The Century. (both pant) Welcome to The Century. Hi, we're looking for a quiet place to stay. Welcome to The Century. How many rooms? a quiet place to stay. Welcome to The Century. How many rooms? All of them. We're hoping for something long-term. Can we rely on the discretion of your staff? I'm sure you can. I'm sorry, we're fully booked. Alright. (indistinct shouting) Nobody goes anywhere. You know who I'm looking for. I'm looking for whoever gave this man a month. I'm gonna clean the clocks off of every one of you in this hell hole until someone says something I wanna hear. (rain) I can't hear anything. Clean it. Wait, wait, wait. Please! (pulsing) I don't know where they are. Please! (yelps) I believe you're next. Um... At last, someone's acting reasonably. I just wanna share the reward. My young friend, you'll get your reward. Ten years. That's insulting. (chuckles) If they catch us... .. there's no way they won't kill us, is there? Do you regret this? You saved my life. When? Now. And every day since I met you. You forget I almost got you killed a few times too. I'm willing to overlook that. Hey! Hey! It's the poor little rich girl. I never got a chance to properly thank you for your time. Here we don't stop living until we're actually dead. There are a lot more ways to die round here. Here there's dancing before dying. Of course it's your friend I'm most happy to run into again. You've been causing a lot of trouble, which is normally my job. Don't you understand? The reason the Time Keepers leave me alone is because I have boundaries. I steal from my own people. You sure know things are bad when I have to restore order. Fortunately for you, I don't like to kill a man in cold blood. I do it. But... I prefer not to. I think you deserve a fighting chance. We play to zero. What's the point? I lose, I die. I win, they kill me. If you don't fight, I'll kill you now. And her? I'll kill you now. And her? After I take you, I'll take her. Oh, yeah, and her time. And then I'll collect my reward for making everything right in the world. (pulsing) (pulsing slows) (yelps) This way. All the time he has taken. Don't you mean the time he's given away, sir? I have given 50 years of my life to this job. I'm not about to see those years go to waste. Go on. I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you. By tomorrow you won't have time to stand around. Goddammit. It's over. We lost. We're not doing any good. Goddammit. It's over. We lost. We're not doing any good. At least we're trying. No, you do not understand. All they have to do is keep raising the cost of living. 100 years. 200. 1,000. It does nothing. So we just stop fighting? It does nothing. So we just stop fighting? We can't win. We can't hurt them. The time we're taking makes no damn difference. We can't win. We can't hurt them. The time we're taking makes no damn difference. What would? What would hurt them? A million years. Got a million years on you? I guess it really would take a million years. Let's give up. Stop! I'm Sylvia Weis. I want to surrender. But only to my father. Sylvia. Hello, Daddy. Stay where you are. You've hired more guards since I last saw you. Thanks to you I need them. One too many. (gun is cocked) Guns down. Now! Do it. Let's go for a ride. You'd steal from your own father? Let's go for a ride. You'd steal from your own father? Is it stealing if it's already stolen? What's the combination? It's not my birthday. You've started to regret that day, I can imagine, Father. Try 12.2.1809. Darwin's birthday. Survival of the fittest. It cost us centuries just to bribe our way in here. See what it got us. Quality time. He really is a man with a million years. It's my first million. It won't be my last. Do you know how much good it can do? I know how much harm it can do. Try to understand, even if you gave a year to a million people, you're just prolonging their agony. You're prolonging their lives! Flooding the wrong zone with a million years, it could cripple the system. Let's hope so. We are not meant to live like this. We are not meant to live for ever. Although I do wonder if you've ever lived a day in your life. Is that so? You might upset the balance for a generation... two, but don't fool yourself. In the end nothing will change. Because everyone wants to live for ever. They all think they have a chance at immortality. Even though all the evidence is against it. They all think they will be the exception. But the truth is, for a few to be immortal, many must die. No one should be immortal if even one person has to die. What was that? What was that?! What just happened? A million years went off the clock in New Greenwich. It's no mistake. It's gotta be a mistake. It's not a mistake. It's them. Take a month, Maurice. Dispatch, what can you see? (automated voice) There's a lot of traffic, sir. Look for the slowest car. If you have a million years you are definitely not in a hurry. If this works... If this works, we gotta get more. Dayton's not the only zone that could use a few extra years. Wire me my per diem. Wait, never mind. I have 'em. Give the order, shoot on sight. In New Greenwich? That's against policy, sir. So is having a million years leave the zone. That time cannot leave the zone. Shoot on sight. (rapid gunfire) "Please deposit one month. Please deposit one month." Keep going. Keep going! We're close. We're OK. We're OK. You're late. Do you need a minute? Go. Go. Where's our capsule? Too late. Lost a lot of time, Mr Leon. Where's our capsule? Too late. Lost a lot of time, Mr Leon. Looks like you're about out yourself. Time! There's time! Move! Move! Get out! Get out! We gotta get to Livingstone. We can make it. Can we? OK? Stop! (exhales deeply/pants) You can run. So can you. You're from here, aren't you? Long time ago. You're from here, aren't you? Long time ago. Yeah? I worked out how to escape. And now you make sure no one else does. I worked out how to escape. And now you make sure no one else does. It's the way it has to be. I didn't start the clock. (pants) I can't turn it back. I keep it running. I keep time. You keep time. I'm gonna need some of that time you borrowed from me. Unless you want us to die on the way to our execution. (mouths) (yelps) We don't have enough. One of us can make it. Take mine. You take mine, you can get there. I can't. I can't get there. You can. No. Yes! No. Please. No. There's time. What? The Keeper's time. Run. Run! Run! I need time. (automated voice) Time transferred. (pants) What have we got? A day. We could do a lot in a day. (bleeping/ringing) Sir, do something. It's already done. (TV) These are live pictures from Dayton. Citizens have taken to the streets. There is so much stolen time in circulation. Factories in Dayton lie idle. And now citizens are crossing zones. Seen here entering New Greenwich. While authorities claim they have the situation under control others fear the system may be headed for collapse. We will continue to update you on this developing story. Sir, we lost zone eight. And ten. It's spreading. What do we do, sir? Go home. (TV) Still no sign of fugitives Will Salas and Sylvia Weis. Authorities continue to ask for the public's help in bringing these criminals to justice. Told you there were bigger banks. You almost missed your calling.
