doesn't mean that he's lost.

Okay, let me put this back together

and I'll go up and make peace.

Okay.

Don't forget.

You know how you get down here.

No, no, I promise.

Two minutes, hon.

Come in.

- Wanna talk about anything before I go?.

- No, I'm good.

This is...

my itinerary...

and my hotel, in case you

need to get in touch with me.

Thanks.

Have fun

with your science friends.

What?.

We'll work it out

when I get back.

Mr. Gates, I don't make policy,

but I do enforce it.

So they're shutting me down.

Hey, you knew it was

a black ops contract.

The administration found out about it.

They want it to go away.

Well, you need to make them understand

the significance ofwhat we're doing.

Look, Gates, I supported you on this

as long as I could...

but they've got a point.

What if one of the Saddams of the world

gets his hands on this stuff?.

The fact is, he can waltz

right through an entire army...

plant an A-bomb

in the president's bathtub...

and all our smart bombs and satellites

would be useless to stop him.

I'm not even finished

building it...

and they have me selling it

on the black market?.

Mr. Gates...

the NSA expect your research,

your equipment...

the whole shooting match crated

and ready for pickup on Monday.

And if I'm not ready?.

We're taking it

whetheryou're ready or not.

Restricted access requested.

Please step forward

for retinal scan.

Have a nice day, Henry Gates.

You all ri ght?.

Yes. Why?.

- How's he doing?.

- Seems okay.

But he wrote that

a half hour ago.

How dramatic.

And charming.

All right.

Bring him down.

Hello, Dr. Dopler.

How are things in hypertime?.

"How are things in hypertime"?.

Look at me.

I've been in here a week.

- It's like I've aged 20 years.

- At least 20. Maybe more.

Why don't you just kill me now?.

I was hoping

that wouldn't be necessary.

Besides, it's your own fault.

Ifyou'd solved the aging glitch

in the original design...

we wouldn't have had to

bring you back to build this.

The molecular stabilizer should reverse

the aging effects in hypertime...

but I'm having a little trouble

with the program and--

Earl, the NSAwants all our toys

in three days.

Well, they're their toys, right?.

They don't know the watches workyet,

and I don't intend to turn them over.

Besides, how can I

enjoy the power of hypertime...

if every time I use it

I end up looking old?.

Like you.

I want this fixed in 48 hours.

Dude, that is impossible.

Well, then I guess

I will have to kill you.

Wait, wait, wait.

Maybe I could do it faster.

I mean, I'm still waiting

on some data from a friend.

A friend?.

Well, no, I mean--

I can trust this guy.

He's on the outside, but he's cool.
