Where we--
[chuckles] Yeah.
Yeah, well, it turns out the wine cellar was untouched.
Picked up a few cases of your favorite Bordeaux.

When's it supposed to happen?
This... apocalypse.
I can't give you the exact hour, but...
from what I could gather, we have four days left.
Why didn't you say something sooner?
-[Five] It wouldn't have mattered. -Of course it would.
We could've banded together and helped you try to stop this thing.
For the record, you already tried.
What do you mean?
I found all of you.
Your bodies.
We die?
[Five] Horribly.
You were together,
trying to stop whoever it was that ends the world.
Wait, how do you know that?
This was clutched in your dead hand when I found you.
Must've ripped it out of their head right before you went down.
Whose head?
Like I said, I don't know.
Well, there's a serial number on the back.
-Think maybe you could try-- -[Five] No, that's a dead end.
[chuckles] It's just another hunk of glass.
[Diego] Piece of shit.
-Do you have any idea what you just did? -[grunts]
Nope, let me-- Get your ape hands off of me!
[Luther] I can do this as long as it takes you to calm down.
[panting] Fine.
Now, wanna tell us what you're talkin' about?
Our brother's been pretty busy since he got back.
He was in the middle of that shootout at Griddy's,
and then at Gimble Brothers,
after the guys in masks attacked the Academy,
looking for him.
None of which is any of your concern.
It is now. [panting] They just killed my friend.
Who are they, Five?
They work for my former employer.
A woman called The Handler.
She sent them...
to stop me.
Then, soon as Diego's friend got in their way,
well, fair game.
And now they're my fair game.
And I'm gonna see to it they pay.
That would be a mistake, Diego.
They've killed people far more dangerous than you.
[Diego] Yeah, we'll see about that.
[door slams]
[horn honks]
[sirens wailing]
[motor idling]
[Luther] Former employer?
What's this really about?
And don't give me any of this "It's none of your business" crap, all right?
Well, it's a long story.
-[Five] Who the hell are you? -[woman] I'm here to help.
[Five] Tell me why I shouldn't put a bullet through your head right now!
[woman] Because...
if you did,
you wouldn't hear the offer I'm about to make you.
Which would be rather tragic, given your...
current circumstances.
I work for an organization called the Commission.
We are tasked with the preservation of the time continuum
through manipulation and removals.
I don't understand.
Sometimes, people... make choices that alter time.
Free will, don't get me started.
When that happens, we dispatch one of our agents to...
eliminate the threat.
No, no, no, no. [chuckles]
You misunderstand me.
You're not a target.
You're a recruit.
I've come to offer you a job, Number Five.
We've had our eye on you for quite some time.
And we think you have a lot of potential.
Your survival skills have made you quite a celebrity back at headquarters.
That and your ability to jump through time.
You saying that I...
I could actually leave here?
[stutters] Go... Go back?
In return for five years of service.
Once your contract is done,
you can retire to the time and place of your choosing
with a pension plan to boot.
If you can alter time,
why not just stop all of this from ever happening?
[Handler] That's quite impossible, I'm afraid.
You see...
all of this,
it was supposed to happen.
That's insane. The end of everything?
Not everything.
Just the end of...
something.
So...
do we have an agreement?
[scoffs]
[Five] They turned me into the perfect instrument
for rehabilitation of the time continuum.
[loud blast]
[Five] Or "corrections," as they called them.
I wasn't the only one. There are others like me.
Beings out of time, fractured,
extracted from the lives that they knew.
I don't know how they got there.
But I do know that none of them were as good as me.
[announcer on radio] ...Dallas Love Field, the Dallas-Fort Worth area broadcasters
bring you a special description
of the arrival of President John F. Kennedy.
And the crowd yells, and the president of the United States...
[crowd cheering]
[announcer 2 on radio] ...to get another view of the president
as he and his First Lady depart Love Field.
[announcer 3 on radio] The presidential car moving out.
The president and First Lady... head out for downtown Dallas,
where thousands should already be on the street right now...
[Five] They didn't realize it, but I was biding my time,
trying to figure out the right equation so I could get back.
If I could just get back, I knew I could stop the apocalypse.
Save the world.
[crowd clamoring]
[announcer] Dallas police
out here in force today,
doing a beautiful job of handling the crowd
along with a contingent of Texas Rangers.
So I broke my contract.
-[radio announcer speaks indistinctly] -[whooshing]
-[announcer] ...all the way down... -[electricity crackling]
...it'll turn on Houston Street... and go past...
[Diego] Oh...
-What... -[wind howling]
[Vanya] What is it?
[Luther] Looks like some sort of temporal anomaly.
-Out of the way! -[Diego] What are you doing?
Wait!
[Klaus grunts]
-[whooshes, clangs] -[announcer on radio] ...no coincidence
that remarkable security measures are in effect,
checking the routes of travel of the people with the president.
Everything and anything involving...
-[whooshing] -[Five yelps]
[announcer] ...has been checked, rechecked, and then checked again.
-[Diego] Wait! -[Luther] Whoa, whoa, wait!
Everyone, behind me.
[announcer] ...without exhaustive security investigation.
The presidential suite has been examined, and...
[Five yells]
[announcer] ...until the president's security and safety are confirmed...
[blasts]
[electricity continues crackling]
[announcer] The shot appears to have come from a grassy knoll...
[gunshot]
...near the street where the motorcade was moving.
-[woman] They shot the president! -[announcer on radio] He is dead.
[announcer 2 on radio] The president is dead.
So...
you were a hit man?
Yes.
Uh... I mean, you had a code, right?
You didn't kill just anybody.
No code.
We took out anyone who messed with the time line.
What about innocent people?
It was the only way I could get back here.
-But that's murder. -Jesus, Luther, grow up.
We're not kids anymore.
There's no such thing as good guys or bad guys.
There's just people, goin' about their lives.
But when the world ends, all those people die,
including our family.
[sighs] Time changes everything.

Well, enough to get breakfast, if that's what you're asking.
It's just, after yesterday, I don't... [sighs]
I have a bad feeling.
Allison.
I haven't seen you in 12 years,
and all of a sudden you're giving me dating advice?
I'm still your sister, and I am concerned about you... and him.
What are you concerned about?
Leonard seems perfectly charming, perfectly thoughtful.
Perfect, really.
But I've been around long enough to know that when something seems too perfect,
it's usually anything but.

I can't even remember.
And I ran out yesterday, and I feel great.
If you feel better without it, then why bother even taking it?
Oh, speaking of drugs, I got you a cup of coffee.
Oh, thanks. Allison came by earlier and brought me one.

Well, you two are spending a lot of quality time together, huh?
[Vanya] Hmm, sort of.
We haven't seen each other in years.

Hm. They're holding auditions for first chair in my orchestra.

I don't know, she just stopped showing up.
Well, good. That's great news.
-You get a chance to audition. -No. [chuckles]
-No, I'm-- I'm not ready for that. -[Leonard] Vanya.
You are an amazing violinist.
You already taught me how to play "Frère Jacques" in under an hour.
That's pretty impressive.

great things are gonna happen for you.

Oh. Okay, I think I've got something, Delores.
-[footsteps approaching] -[Five] It's tenuous, but promising.
Who you talkin' to? What is all this?
[Five] It's a probability map.
Probability of what?
Of whose death could save the world.
I've narrowed it down to four.
Are you saying one of these four people causes the apocalypse?
No, I'm saying that their death might prevent it.
[Luther] Oh.
[chalk continues tapping on blackboard]
I'm not following.
Time is fickle, Luther. The slightest alteration in events
can lead to massively different outcomes in the time continuum.
The butterfly effect.
So all I have to do is find the people with the greatest probability
of impacting the time line, wherever they may be, and kill them.
Oh, yeah...
[Luther] Milton Greene. So who's he, a terrorist or something?
I believe he is a gardener.
You can't be serious.
Wait, this is madness, Five. You--
-Wh-- Where'd you get that? -In Dad's room.
I think he used it to shoot a rhinoceros.
It's similar to the model I used at work.
Nice shoulder fit and highly reliable.
But you can't-- This guy Milton is just an innocent man.
[Five] It's basic math.
His death could potentially save the lives of billions.
If I did nothing, he'd be dead in four days anyway.
The apocalypse won't spare anyone.
We don't do this kind of thing.
We are not doing anything.
I am.
I can't let you go and kill innocent people.
-No matter how many lives you'll save. -Well, good luck stopping me.
-[sighs] -You're not going anywhere.
Put... her... down.
[Luther] Put the gun down. You're not killing anyone.
I know she's important to you, so don't make me do this.
-[scoffs] -[Luther] It's either her or the gun.
You decide.
-[whooshes] -Phew. [panting]

Otherwise, you wouldn't have risked everything

Number Five can time travel without a briefcase, but not that well.
The big oaf lived on the moon for a few years.
-[beeping] -[Cha-Cha] The junkie can conjure
the dead, which explains why he knew about the dead Russian yesterday.
And the idiot in the mask can curve anything he throws,
-usually knives. -[car door slams]
Well, he's the one we need to worry about now.
-Why? -'Cause he's in the parking lot,
hiding behind an ice-cream truck.
Bingo.
You do know that killing these people is not gonna make you feel any better.
Yeah, but when it's done...
-[Klaus chugging] -...I'm gonna sleep like a baby.
Sure you will.
[knocking at door]
[gun cocks]
Motel clerk.
It's from Five.
How'd he find us?
Well, he was us. He knows all the protocols.
He says he has the briefcase. Wants to set up a meeting.
Come on, we're late already.
What about our friends outside? Last thing we need's a tail.
-Manila, 1902? -Let's just go with the ice bucket.
[sighs]
-Stay in the car. -What are you talkin' about?
This guy tortured me.
I have a plan.
So, what exactly is the plan here, big guy?
I told you to wait in the car.
Yeah, but you also told me that licking a nine-volt battery would give me pubes.
We were eight.
[Diego] Uh-uh, uh-uh...
-[Klaus] What? Come on. -For once,
I need you to listen to me, okay?
Now, go back to the car.
If I don't come out in two minutes, that means I'm probably dead.
-So... -That happens, go get help.
-Okay? -[sighs]
Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay.
Okay.
-[horse neighing] -[gunfire]
-[crowd screaming on TV] -[gunfire on TV]
[horse neighing on TV]
[engine revving]
[tires screech]
[Diego yells]
-[groaning] -[gunfire continues]
Oh, man. See? You used to think I was an idiot.
-I still think you're an idiot. -[car speeds away]
-They're getting away. -You're welcome.
-[Diego groans] -[tires screech]
-Shit. -Get in the car. Oh...
[Diego sighs]
-Was this all part of your master plan? -Shut up.
[Klaus] Hm?
[sighs]
[conductor sighs]
What is your name again?
[softly] Vanya.
[conductor] Louder, please.
Vanya Hargreeves.
Right.
Well?
[playing "Gigue from Partita No. 2 in D minor" by JS Bach confidently]
[high-pitched ringing]
[notes resonating and distorting]
[notes echoing]
[car approaches]
-[car door opens] -[keys jangle]
[car door shuts]
[car alarm beeps]
[footsteps approaching]
[keys jangling]
[front door opens]
[front door closes]
[Vanya's playing continues]
[sighs]
[Five sighs]
You know, I never enjoyed it.
What?
The killing.
I mean, I was... I was good at my work, and I...
I took pride in it.
But it never gave me pleasure.
[sighs]
I think it was all those years alone.
Solitude can do funny things to the mind.
[Luther] Yeah, well, you were gone for such a long time.
I only spent four years on the moon, but that was more than enough.
It's the being alone that breaks you.
You think they'll buy it?
Well, what I do know is that they're desperate.
It's like a cop losing his gun. If the Commission finds out,
they'll be in deep shit.
Oh, not to mention the fact that they'll be stuck here
until they get it back.
-Well, I should hold onto it. -[Five] Hm?
In case they make a move on you.
Okay, Luther, but be careful.
I mean, I've... I've lived a long life, but...
you're still a young man. You got your whole life ahead of you.
Don't waste it.
-[car approaching] -[Five] Hmm...
Here we go.
If this all goes sideways,
do me a favor and tell Delores I'm sorry.
[car door opens]
[car door shuts]
[Five] The masks really necessary?
-So where is it, kid? -Wow, that's how you're gonna start.
You know, we can get right back in our car and call it a day.
You won't even make it halfway there.
[Five] Maybe.
But as I'm sure you found out in your previous foray,
-my brother is not your average giant. -[Hazel] He's right.
You dropped a chandelier on him, got right back up.
[Five] By the time you took him out,
he'd smash your precious briefcase to a pulp.
Probably us too, right?
So, how do we help each other?
I need you to get in contact with your superior
so I can have a chat with her.
-Face-to-face. -About what?
Well, I don't believe that's any of your concern.
Just don't tell her about the briefcase.
Fair enough.
-[line ringing] -[modem connecting]
What happens now?
Now we wait.
[wind whistling]
[ice-cream truck chimes playing "Ride of the Valkyries"]
Is that her?
[orchestra playing "Ride of the Valkyries"]
What the hell is he doing here?
-Go faster! -Whee!
It's a setup!
-[Cha-Cha and Hazel groan] -[gun fires, echoes]
[Handler] Neat trick, isn't it?
Hello, Five.
You look good,
all things considered.
It's good to see you again.
Feels like we met just yesterday.
Course, you were a little bit older then.
Congratulations
on the age regression, by the way.
Very clever.
-Threw us all off the scent. -Ah, well, I wish I could take credit.
I just miscalculated the time dilation projections, and...
Well, you know. Here I am.
You realize your efforts are futile.
So why don't you tell me what you really want?
I want you to put a stop to it.
You realize what you're asking for is next to impossible, even for me.
What's meant to be is meant to be.
That's our raison d'être.
Yeah? Well how about survival as a raison?
I'll just be replaced.
I'm but a... small cog in a machine.
This fantasy you've been nurturing
about summoning up your family to stop the apocalypse...
is just that.
A fantasy.
I must say, though,
we're all quite impressed with your initiative, your...
stick-to-itiveness, really quite...
quite something.
Which is why we want to offer you
a new position back at the Commission,
in management.
[chuckles] Sorry, what's that now?
Come back to work for us again. You know it's where you belong.
Well, it didn't work out too well the last time.
But you wouldn't be in the correction division any longer.
I'm talking about...
the home office.
You'd have the best health and pension,
and an end to this ceaseless travel.
You're a distinguished professional in...
schoolboy shorts.
We have the technology to reverse the process.
I mean, you... you can't be happy like this.
I'm not looking for happy.
We're all looking for happy.
We can make that happen.
We can make you...
yourself again.
[sighs] And what about my family?
What about them?
I want them to survive.
[sighs]
All of them?
Yes, all of them.
Well...
I'll see what I can do.
Do we have a deal?
One thing.
[gun clatters]
[Handler sighs]
[Five] Mm... no. [grunts softly]
Ah.
[whooshes and zaps]
-[chimes continue playing] -[Hazel screams]
-[both grunt] -[distorted chiming]
-[Klaus] Good God! -Five?
-[Klaus] Oh! Ow! -Five!
[Hazel panting]
Come get it!
