First time?
Yeah. You?
Second.
Third for him.
Good evening, historians.
Welcome to Regional Update 4.
I'm traveler A-26 of the archivist program.
If this is your first time, please take a moment
to look inside the bag you were provided on the way in.
Two green pills are to be taken immediately following the update.
It's important that we restore any chemical imbalances in the brain.
The yellow pills you will need going forward.
From time to time, you may perceive what we call projections--
visual manifestations of one or more alternate time lines,
an unavoidable side effect of memory not acquired by conventional means.
The yellow pills will help to focus your sensory perception
on one time line at a time.
When you run out, call this number to arrange for more.
Get that?
Yeah.
Next, Protocol 2H.
The update is not to be discussed
with anyone, ever.
Do not break this protocol.
This update will include historical information relevant
to your team's role in the Grand Plan,
including potential candidates, investments, etc.
but by its very nature, your update may also include
historical information about your team members,
loved ones,
about you.
This is a burden you will have to carry with you until the day you die--
a date which, for obvious reasons, will be omitted from your update.
Any questions?
Let's begin.
[projector clicks and whirs]
[female narrator] Historians, open memory chain 1A.
[baroque music playing]
[indistinct whispers]
[distant screams]
Hey. [clears throat] I made breakfast.
Uh, I don't want to be late.
Hey, come on, Carly.
Take five minutes.
Grant, they chose me!
Who?
The Pattersons.
Uh...?
You know, the restaurant owners.
Jill.
Jill, right.
And this means what, exactly?
That I will be designing their new restaurant with a brand-new baby.
Well, you know, you'll have my help with the baby.
I can't take a job that I don't have time to do.
Kat. We'll figure it out.
So I should say yes?
-Do you want to say yes? -Yes.
Then yes.
Okay.
I'll let them know.
Soon.
Nice work.
-Hey, guys. -Hey.
What's the mission?
I got a messenger with lotto numbers yesterday.
Director must have seen we're in a bit of a financial hole
and decided to step up.
Good.
I obviously can't win any more lotteries without attracting undue attention,
so you won 86K in the super draw last night,
and these numbers on the Megaball for tonight will get you 62.
$62 doesn't sound like very much.
62,000.
Oh. Okay.
You both get six numbers out of seven.
Why don't we just win seven out of seven, and we're covered?
Because someone else is supposed to win the Big One
and completely ruin their lives.
-What about me? -You are too young to gamble.
An excellent example of irony.
[laughing]
So, will that get us out of the hole?
Not even close.
This is seed money.
But I can quadruple it with horse races
and use those earnings to create something far more substantial.
How does that even work if the historical record has changed?
The messenger gave me very detailed instructions.
We're good.
Congratulations, you guys.
-Sweet. -Thanks.
-[Japanese-style music playing] -[birds chirping]
[chattering]
So? What'd you think?
I liked it. It's like therapy.
Yeah. That's the idea.
-We should do it more often. -I'm in.
[Marcy chuckles]
Do you know if there's a store around here anywhere?
So, do I go for the $3 water,
the luxurious $5 bottle of water
or the suspiciously underpriced 99 cent water?
You're buying a lottery ticket?
Mm-hmm. Thanks.
You know, I buy one once in a while,
when the jackpot gets insanely big like this one.
I don't know why. I mean, any size jackpot would change my life.
I always play my same lucky numbers.
Yeah? Do you ever win?
-Nope. -Hmm.
Thank you.
Thanks.
[cash register beeps]
[players shouting]
'Sup?
Why'd you stop playing?
Same reason you did.
You got a concussion, too.
-Whatever, Trevor. -Whoa-whoa, Kyle!
Don't try to tell me that you don't remember what he did to us
because of your concussions.
Nobody forgets shit like that.
Maybe I just don't like to think about it.
[vehicle approaches]
[Trevor] Hey, can I help you?
No, I don't need any help.
Do you need any help?
I'm good.
Yeah, no, we're good.
Who's your friend?
Kyle.
Well, hello, Kyle, nice to meet you.
You know, Trevor and us, we go way, way back.
I am Hall. This is my associate Luca.
Hey.
[Kyle] Hey.
Hey, Trevor, I'm gonna go.
I'll catch up with you later.
-[comm beeps] -Boss, it's me.
[MacLaren over comm] What's up?
Hall and Luca got out of prison early.
How do you know?
I'm standing right in front of them.
They're parked outside my school.
I guess they don't know I don't like being watched.
Tough guy. I love it.
Do me a favor. Um... give my regards to the Boy Scout.
[engine starts]
They just drove off.
What was that about? What did he say?
Nothing.
Just thought you should know.
Thanks for the heads-up.
[keys clacking]
[MacLaren scoffs]
Hey, Philip.
Got your winnings.
Hopefully we get more messengers like that.
Where's the rest of it?
I took some.
I need to invest that.
Well, turns out "baby needs a new pair of shoes" isn't just a saying.
And my van needs a new transmission.
Okay.
I can make it work.
How's all that going, by the way?
You and Jeff and the baby?
Is it... working out?
It's fine. Why?
I don't know. Just asking.
Asking what, exactly?
Uh... if things were okay at home.
You developing a thing for me?
No.
I just haven't... heard you talk about that in a while.
It's all good.
Great.
I mean, don't get me wrong-- I think you're very attractive.
Um...
This is weird.
I agree.
-I'm gonna go. -Okay.
Thanks for the cash.
[sighs]
[Trevor grunts]
Attaboy!
Come on, Kyle!
[grunting]
Come on, Kyle! One-two!
[grunts]
Hey, attaboy!
Attaboy! Way to work out some of that aggression.
Come on, let's get some water.
[Kyle] Come on, let's keep going.
Have a drink. Go on.
Let's talk a bit.
Leave it alone. The old man can't touch us anymore.
Come on.
I want two on two.
Hey, two.
-One-two. One-two. -[Kyle huffs]
Why haven't you told anybody?
Why haven't you?
We're not talking about me.
He said-- he said if I let him...
One-two.
Come on, come on. Two.
...he'd take care of me!
Set me up...
with scholarships and shit.
One-two.
What'd he promise you? Hmm?
Same.
Eight straight. Come on.
[grunts]
[growls]
What if it's still going on with other players?
Man, you know it is.
Then we gotta do something.
Like what?
You want to go to the police, go to-- go to the school?
Be known as victims for the rest of our lives?
If that ends it.
He can't stand against both of us.
Look, we did nothing wrong, Kyle.
If...
Would you go in with me?
Absolutely.
Come on. Let's see a two.
Thattaboy. One-two.
[Kat] Grant!
Grant!
[weeping] Grant!
Oh, no!
-Stay calm for us, Kathryn. -Everything's gonna be fine, sweetheart.
This is exactly where you need to be.
Grant, please don't leave.
No, no, no. I'll stay right here, I promise.
We're gonna get an ultrasound and assess her from there.
She'll be out shortly.
Good morning, Trevor.
How are your grades?
Have you narrowed down the list of colleges yet?
What can I do to better help you succeed?
[low] I read my employee manual,
and I am ready to guide the shit out of these pubescent brats.
I need your help with something.
Marcy.
Hey.
Sorry. Do I know you?
It's me. Luca.
2587.
I was just warned about you watching members of my team.
I only want to talk.
Do you?
[doctor] Hi, Kathryn.
I have the results from the ultrasound, and the baby is fine.
[sighs] Thank God.
You have formed a small placental abruption,
so we want you to stay in for a bit just so we can monitor you and the baby,
make sure it doesn't get any worse.
-What if it does? -It won't.
If the baby forces our hand, we can talk about our options,
but for now, we just need to assess where we're at, okay?
Buzz the nurses if you need anything.
[MacLaren] Thanks.
[Luca] You don't remember anything from that time?
[Marcy] Nothing.
I was briefed by members of my team about the time I lost,
but it's not the same as actually living it.
Well...
At least now I know why you never came to visit me in prison.
Sorry.
They said you would have died.
Losing my sister before I ever really got to know her would be worse--
Luca. Luca...
We were separated so young.
We can't know for sure that we're really family.
[over comm] Guys, it's Mac.
I'm gonna be unavailable for a while. There's a problem.
[Carly] What's wrong?
Kathryn's in the hospital.
She's had some medical complications, and...
I need to be here with her.
Marcy.
Yeah, I'm on my way.
-Is everything all right? -Sorry, I have to go.
[machines beeping]
Holy...
Uh...
-[line rings, beeps] -Hey, this is Marcy. Leave a message.
Marcy, I won the lottery.
[coughs] Six numbers out of seven. That's-- that's 31,000--
$31,000!
Isn't that freakin' amazing?
It would have been 62,000, but someone else won the lottery.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God, that's you.
'Cause I took your numbers. You won the lottery, too. Congratulations!
Wait... I mean, that-- that means I took half your money.
I mean, that-- that's like cheating.
Um...
Yeah, you know what? I should just give it to you.
So...
Yeah, that's what I'm gonna do!
[chuckles]
But what are the chances that your numbers would be picked
any more than mine, right?
Oh, my God, did you hear the greed in my voice? Because I sure did.
Whoa!
I may as well have just come out and said,
"That money's mine!"
Hmm.
[sighs] This is how money ruins people.
I think I'm going to be sick.
[line ringing]
Still no answer.
We said we'd meet after second period.
You know, for my first actual case as a guidance counselor,
you could have eased me into it.
Hold it!
I have been looking all over for you.
Connor needs a QB who can hit him in the hands if we want to win State.
So...
love to have you out.
And, Connor, how are things?
Could use my old quarterback on the team.
Talk some sense into him.
Oh, I don't understand sportsball, so...
Can't keep your spot open for you forever, Trev.
Why didn't you deal with him right then?
Not in front of the kid.
It's gonna be hard enough on him as it is.
[sighs]
[hip-hop music playing]
[both exhale]
[Jeff] Seventy-eight...
seventy-nine...
one-thousand!
[laughs]
I'm really digging working out together.
Yeah? That's good.
And this playlist? Damn.
You like it?
Oh, yeah.
We gotta get that that core engaged, right?
Right? Get that heart rate up.
What?
Ohh.
You know what I mean?
[laughs]
Unh! Come on, Carly, you know that body like to dance.
[chuckling] I don't even know what you're doing.
Come on, Carly, it'll come to you. Let it go.
[hip-hop continues]
That's right.
Okay.
There she is.
Mmm!
[Jeffrey Jr. cries]
Hey.
What'd you find?
Took a look at her file.
There's nothing out of the ordinary. She's stable.
Her blood pressure's a little high--
Those drugs you gave me, shouldn't they have protected her?
They were designed to help, not to make her invulnerable.
[sighs] Well, how do we get you in there?
I don't think you understand.
There's nothing even I could do.
She's right where she needs to be.
If they need to take the baby out early,
Caesarean section is a standard procedure for these doctors.
Medicine isn't magic, in any time.
Would you like me to inform the team what's going on?
No.
No, I'll do it when the time is right.
And, uh... yeah.
Just feels good to know I'm not doing that to my family anymore.
[group] Thank you, Mike.
Philip.
Did you want to share?
Uh, yeah, I do.
[clears throat]
Hi, my name's Philip, and I'm an addict.
[group] Hi, Philip.
[Philip clears throat]
I have a secret.
I know the future.
I know what's gonna happen.
Global events. Deaths.
Winners of horse races.
It was all recently delivered to me, like a movie.
And mostly it's the same future that I remember,
but there are differences.
You all think I'm crazy right now...
but it's true.
For example...
I know that somebody in this room
has very recently been diagnosed with cancer
and has decided to ignore it...
as if ignoring the problem is gonna make it go away.
Because there's only a 50/50 chance...
that the treatment will work.
They're afraid of going through the pain of chemotherapy for nothing.
[voice breaking] And the truth is, I don't know...
whether this person's going to live or die
if they decide to get treatment.
I only know for certain that without it...
[man] Philip?
Philip.
I'm sorry, what was I saying?
Not much.
[man] You stopped talking after you said, "I have a secret."
Oh.
I'm sorry. Um...
Maybe... someone else should go.
It's all right.
We've all been there.
[heavy metal music playing]
[honking]
[beeping]
[cell phone ringing]
[Trevor grunts]
-[beeps] -Where have you been?
I'm on my way now.
Don't worry about it, bro, we're gonna do this.
Have you been drinking?
Pull over.
Trevor, I'm fine. Chill.
Where are you?
Where are you? Where are you?
Oh, hey, nurse, how's she doing?
Excuse me. I asked you a question.
No.
It was for your own good.
What did you do?
-[alarm beeping] -[woman over PA] Code blue! Code blue!
-Re-sus team to room 312 immediately. -Go be with her.
Dr. Higgins, what's happening?
I can't talk right now, Mr. MacLaren. Please stay out of the way.
[woman over PA] Re-sus team to room 312.
Philip, I need eyes on Hall right now. He's leaving the hospital.
[Philip over comm] I'm on it.
Don't lose him.
[intense whir]
[groaning]
[Trevor] Kyle! Kyle!
Back up! Kyle, get out of the car.
There's something wrong with this host.
I know.
[Luca] You're just drunk.
Traveler 5532...
welcome to the 21st.
This is too much.
[laughs] Andrew, I have watched you do everything
in your power to change your circumstances.
I mean, you got clean,
you got that part-time job at the grocery store.
This is just a little financial help to put a roof over your head.
But I'll never be able to repay you. This is--
No, I don't want you to.
Just keep doing what you're doing,
and I'll count myself lucky to know you.
-I don't know what to say. -You don't have to say anything.
Ohh!
Thank you, David!
[strained chuckle]
Okay. Okay.
Wendy?
I'd like to make your day.
Come on. You must know something by now.
My latest information is that your wife is still in surgery.
[man] Mr. MacLaren.
Would you come with me, please?
[Trevor] Philip!
Look, I need your help.
Look, I know that the historical record's changed since we got here.
But not everything, right? A lot stays the same.
Yeah, why?
Carson Perry. He's a football coach at my high school. Ring any bells?
Uhh...
-[sighs] -Come on. Dig deep.
Carson Perry.
Gets arrested on 16 counts of sexual assault charges
as well as possession and distribution of underage pornography.
-When? -Not soon.
We can't wait.
I been through this. You assign yourself vigilante missions--
What if it's my protocol five?
I recently learned that my host was abused before I got here by him.
I had no idea.
Neither did I.
I promised my friend Kyle that I would help take him down just now.
-Kyle was a host candidate. -You knew?
3:09 this afternoon. Driving drunk.
I'm sorry.
I understand why you couldn't tell me,
but as far as I'm concerned, that coach killed him.
I need to fix this.
[pounding on door]
Mr. MacLaren, in this case,
it was Antiphospholipid Antibody Syndrome or APS.
She developed an arterial thrombus
which then caused a coronary embolism,
which is a clot in the heart.
Kathryn went into cardiac arrest.
Mr. MacLaren, in our efforts to save Kathryn's life--
We lost the baby.
Yes.
And all I can say
is that it's extremely fortunate that that clot passed on its own,
or this would be an even more difficult conversation for both of us to have.
When can I see her?
She's in recovery, she's sedated, but you can see her in a few hours.
Mr. MacLaren, we have counselors available if you need them.
Philip, tell me where Hall is.
[Philip over comm] Boss, he's here.
What?
Hey, boss.
Easy.
-Get off of me! -Listen.
[Trevor] We can't do that.
-You're a fuckin' dead man. -I know, I know.
-You killed my child! -Not what happened.
You better hope the Director overwrites you before I get my--
The Director was the one who sent me!
I was on a mission.
Let him go.
There you go.
What are you talking about?
The child was never gonna survive. It was never supposed to.
You don't know that.
My mission was to save your wife.
-There had to be a way to save them both. -[Marcy] I don't think there was.
Listen to your medic, MacLaren.
What'd you do?
Kathryn MacLaren was going to die of an undiagnosed coronary embolism
that stopped her heart during the delivery of her stillborn child.
The Director ordered me to give her a traveler-synthesized drug
to eliminate the clot so that she would survive
because she wasn't supposed to die.
Because you broke protocol four.
She wanted a child more than anything.
You're gonna stand there and blame her for this?
Is that what you're doing?
No.
Right.
Look, I get it.
I get it's tough to stay focused in the 21st.
That's what I've been trying to tell you guys ever since I met you.
Trying to teach you guys to not get caught up in all the bullshit.
But you had to stab me in the back, huh?
The Director obviously agreed with me, or you wouldn't have gone to prison.
Yeah, I-- I can't argue with that.
I guess we all need a lesson now and then on what our mission is.
And this was yours.
But, hey, MacLaren, your wife is still alive.
Go be with her.
[sighs]
Welcome home.
Hey, yeah. Sorry.
[chuckles] Hi.
I know it's later than I said.
[Jeffrey Jr. chattering]
Can I hold him?
I was trying to get him to go to sleep.
I know. I don't care.
Hey.
You wanna cuddle with your mama, big man?
So... how was today for Carly Shannon?
Well, it's over now.
Let's leave it at that.
You?
Oh, I had a pay duty.
I basically chaperoned some drunk college kids around for time and a half.
Sounds awful.
Eh, wasn't so bad.
You okay?
Tell me about the day he was born.
Um...
are you sure you want to go there right now?
'Cause that's not your favorite story.
I want to hear it from your perspective.
[chuckles]
Grant.
I'm here.
They told me she was a girl.
[Kat sobbing]
Holden. Change your mind?
You're gonna come clean.
Sorry?
You're gonna come forward to the police,
and you're gonna detail all that you've done.
Trevor, wh-wh-what are you talking about?
Do it on your own volition
and face the consequences, or it'll be done for you.
-Yeah? -Mm-hmm.
I'm not gonna do that.
Those are your only two options, so...
I don't think you realize what you're doing here.
You're really willing to throw everything away to destroy both of our lives?
-There's other lives to consider. -Oh, come on.
Maybe you don't want to play football anymore,
but you do not want the shit storm that'll come from this.
Hey, you prey on young boys who look up to you.
You make promises in exchange for access to their bodies.
Come on, Trev.
I will come forward.
I'll talk about the hotel rooms on the road,
the showers,
all of it.
Who's gonna believe you?
You're a bad kid, and everybody knows it.
People change.
Not the Trevor Holden I know.
I don't know where this act came from,
but I don't buy it for a second.
I know you.
Intimately.
You're gonna keep your mouth shut.
-I'm not threatened by you. -You should be.
Don't push me, kid.
Release the materials.
-[Philip over comm] On it. -Release the materials?
What the hell's that supposed to mean?
Whew.
Thank you, Philip. Ahem.
That's what Trevor and Kyle would have wanted.
All we did was accelerate what was going to happen anyway.
Freak had whole hard drives of incriminating shit.
Yeah, he made his choice.
[computer chimes]
No.
What?
Oh, no.
[telephone rings]
Oh, no.
Oh, my God.
[telephone rings]
God...
[telephone rings]
[computer chimes]
-[telephone ringing] -[gasping]
[door opens]
There she is!
Did you get your winnings?
I did. Amazing luck.
Isn't it?
You're not upset that I cheated?
No, of course not.
I'm happy for you.
You must be thrilled.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's all gone.
What?
Did you ever hear the story of St. Francis?
No.
Yeah, no, me either. Somebody called me that today.
Uh... I don't understand.
I didn't feel right taking what would have been yours
if I hadn't peeked at your numbers.
And I know that you wouldn't let me give it back,
so I gave it all away!
I helped out a lot of good people.
Honestly, Marcy, it was--
it was the best day of my life.
You remember my-- my client Jason?
With the bad teeth and the hair?
Yeah, I do.
Yeah. Great teeth now.
I mean, they will be.
Even getting them cleaned has made a huge difference.
And on Wednesday, he's got some much-needed dental work.
Whoa. Good for Jason.
Yeah, no, he hates dentists.
Who else?
Um, I'm not sure if you remember Marjorie.
I bought her a new walker.
They're pricey for what they are.
Uh, Steve got one of those scooters to get to his new job.
He can't walk very far without breaking into a sweat.
Jordan got my bike for his pizza delivery job.
Your bike?
Yeah. Yeah. I thought I'd buy myself a new one.
I should have saved some.
All of it.
I know it sounded like a lot of money,
but, I mean, everything is just so expensive.
I mean, I had a whole list of people.
David.
It doesn't matter. I'll get my steps in.
So...
What are you gonna do with yours?
Um...
I have some debts to pay off.
Debts?
Wow. That is responsible.
[chuckles]
I should have some left over.
Even more responsible.
So, what are you gonna do with it?
Well, first, I'm going to buy you a new bike.
I'm so happy you said that.
[laughing]
What's happening right now? Where the hell is this kid?
Give him a minute.
He's probably hung over.
I'm sorry, he's what?
Sorry I'm late.
Just having a hard time deciding what clothing to bring with me.
Yeah, not a problem, kid. Just don't make it a habit.
So, what's the mission?
...the Prime Minister has called highly threatening.
[Philip reciting in tandem] This will severely impact foreign relations
if troops continue to invade the region against UN sanctions.
In local news, a fire ravaged a downtown apartment complex last night,
and authorities are saying the cause of it
is looking more and more likely to be arson...
[no audible dialogue]
[broadcast continuing]
Fortunately, all residents managed to escape without harm,
but the blaze did cause millions of dollars in property damage.
And finally tonight, a Tacoma resident is making waves...
[man] The yellow pills will help you focus your sensory perception
on one time line at a time...
an unavoidable side effect of memory not acquired by conventional means.
[newscaster] ...school science fair,
but when it won first place and went to the regional finals,
it caught the eye of an entrepreneur
who has partnered with the budding scientist
and intends to take the litter to market next year.
That's our show for tonight.
We hope you have a pleasant evening, and an even better tomorrow. means.
