-It actually worked.
-What did you expect?
Fires, explosions,
chaos... death.
The clock is ticking.
Make your time count.
I'm ready.
You don't look ready.
It's that one of those like
it's my last night parties.
Or by your standards, a Friday.
Good.
Change of plan.
Wait, what? Me?
What, him? Come on.
No. Landau, come on.
Yes, sir.
The power's out for 40 blocks.
Call your guys. I need
a tactical team here ASAP.
I'm on it.
Jim.
Jim, are you in here?
Where are you?
Jim.
Jim, are you in here?
Yeah, over here.
Hey.
What are you doing in here?
The same as the computers.
Thinking.
I was making way too big
a deal out of it.
Yeah, best to clear the air before
I get sucked up into a black hole.
Or turned up fossilized
in dinosaur sh*t.
Exactly.
Okay, then.
The others are having a meeting.
Bill's upset. We agreed
that he would go first.
Yeah, so did I.
I had no idea
Landau was gonna pull this sh*t.
You can't just throw this in
at the last minute.
Yeah, I mean seriously, he's been
training... for a long time.
Mr. Landau, with all due
respect, just listen to the guy.
He deserves
to at least go first.
-Seriously.
-Why Jim?
It's f***ing bullshit. You can't
just take this away from me.
I have made my decision.
He's glorified tech support.
No, what he is, is the most
talented computer engineer at MIT.
No, he's a f***ing
scholarship kid.
He's just here
to fill some kinda quota.
You know, this was my dad's?
No. This little thing?
Guy never had more than
Just kept it to remind myself
never to be like him.
-This is you?
-Only place he ever took me.
The track.
Next horse and the next race
was always the sure thing.
Last time I saw him...
before he died...
I told him that
I was gonna get into MIT.
I said you could bet on it.
Hey, you know
what he said to me?
the eyes and he goes...
"Nobody would give me the odds."
Jim's not one of us.
He never was.
-It's true.
-And he's a bit of a dick.
Well, clearly he's not the most liked
or valuable member of this team.
So therefore, he's expendable.
That's why I pounded keyboards
every night 'til my fingers bled.
Got a scholarship to MIT.
Got to the top of my class.
Got in front of Landau.
Got here on Project 880.
I, I can't pass up an opportunity to
be the world's first time traveler.
I know.
Okay. Calibrating for one hour.
Any, last words?
About to start. Let's go.
All right,
initializing ion generator.
-Sh*t.
-Did we expect that?
No, the vortex is collapsing.
It'll tear us apart.
No, no, it's stabilizing.
I got it.
What the hell is that?
-What?
