In Time Page #4

Synopsis: Welcome to a world where time has become the ultimate currency. You stop aging at 25, but there's a catch: you're genetically-engineered to live only one more year, unless you can buy your way out of it. The rich "earn" decades at a time (remaining at age 25), becoming essentially immortal, while the rest beg, borrow or steal enough hours to make it through the day. When a man from the wrong side of the tracks is falsely accused of murder, he is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage. Living minute to minute, the duo's love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system.

Display it?

Hell, I'm going to drive it.

Will Salas.

Allow me to introduce

my mother-in-law, Clara,

my wife, Michele, 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.

Having fun, Mr. Salas?

Please, call me Will.

It's okay, Constantin.

Do you always have a hired hand

standing right next to you?

No. I usually have two.

That doesn't make it very easy

to get to know you.

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 run.

Reminds me of people

who 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 forever 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.

This was tonight.

He's 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.

You never go in.

And I'm insane?

Well? What are you waiting for?

Sylvia, come on!

What happened to doing something foolish?

I don't know you.

We could change that.

I get it.

You're out here, all alone,

with a stranger.

You can't be too careful.

Maybe you can.

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?

it's all right, 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 Timekeeper 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?

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 any more.

He timed himself out.

Henry Hamilton was

worth thousands of years.

He could practically live forever.

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
