for the jump.

If you miss the jump, then...

Well, you might not get

another chance.

Then how would we

get home?

That, my friend,

is the Big Danny.

The what?

The Bi-- Oh, nothing.

It's something from TV

when I was a kid.

What show?

Game of Your Life.

You've never heard of it.

What channel?

We didn't have channels

on my Earth.

You're saying you're from

some weird alternate Earth?

Not from my point of view.

You guys are the ones

who are drinking coffees

that look like

ice cream sundaes and sh*t.

But what are we supposed to do

for next 32 hours? Just wait?

My advice,

in a world like this,

is that you shut up

and you stay hidden.

And, you know,

try not to die.

Peach?

[GUNS COCKING]

Tell the chief

we found them.

HAROLD:

Mom.

Mom!

[MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

MAN 1:

All right, come on.

Let's go, let's go.

On your feet.

Come on, let's go.

MAN 2:

Let's go. Let's get this stuff.

Take them to my factory.

Come on.

MAN 3:

Hey, chief.

Found this folks

in Old Town.

They were

in the building.

And you went inside?

Tinker said.

Goddamn it.

He's supposed to be here

getting this power

up and running.

What were you folks doing

in the building, son?

Oh, hey, ha, we were

just passing through.

I'm sorry,

my friend here is a mute.

Childhood fever, you know.

He's not all there.

From where?

Kansas.

To?

East. Maybe north.

Uh, we're not sure.

Why did you folks

run in the building?

It looked like

a safe place to hide.

From who?

From your men.

We saw them gun down

two people.

What'd I tell you

about that sh*t?

They drew on us.

The building

is a very dangerous place.

We avoid it.

We didn't know that.

Look, I'm sorry

for waylaying you.

We've been having some problems

with some folks up north.

I wouldn't head that way

if I were you.

Mike here will take you

out of town if you like.

Thank you, Captain Stone.

STONE:

Wait.

[]

How'd you know I was police?

Nobody knows that.

You just-- You look like

a guy with authority.

How'd you know

my name was Stone?

[STUTTERING]

Strong features.

Who are you people?

Where are you from?

TINKER:

They came from the building.

I told you.

Remember the last time

somebody came out

of that building?

I don't need this sh*t now.

It was him.

The man

who brought the nuke here.

The man who murdered

two-thirds of this city

came from the building.

STONE:
That doesn't make sense.

You've been up and down

that building a million times.

Look at them. They're not from

here.

Where are you from?

We're from Kansas.

Not you.

Where?

Kansas.

East or west?

East?

TINKER:

Who controls east Kansas, huh?

Okay, who controls
