Prisoner X Page #2

Synopsis: On a cold February night, a young man is found unconscious at the wheel of a crashed vehicle in Montana not far from the Canadian border and a lump of weapons-grade Uranium is recovered from the trunk. He is immediately thrown into a high-security prison and tortured relentlessly for months. But apart from a few vicious-sounding curses in an unknown language, he utters nothing. Then one day out of the blue, he gives his interrogators a list of numbers and letters, which turn out to be astronomical coordinates of upcoming Supernova explosions. The very next day the first of those celestial events occurs exactly as predicted, sending shock-waves through the security establishment. It's obvious; the man in custody is no ordinary terrorist. He is a time-traveller from the future. Fifteen years later, RAMIRO still sits in the same secret prison two kilometres under the ground, but much has changed in the world above. Based on the information he has provided over the years, the US has waged

Fischer was troubled

when he called but he,

was not suicidal.

- What exactly

did he say to you?

And that he needed my help.

- Then help.

- On the world

tonight, no end in sight.

Thousands more refugees from

New York and Pennsylvania

arrive in the mid-west

bringing their total number

to over two-million.

In the grip of violence,

president Turner imposes

martial law in

Southern California

to quell large-scale riots

that show no sign of abating.

And in international news,

a powerful explosion rips

through an industrial complex

in Mumbai killing

over 50 workers.

Indian authorities are

investigating the cause.

The blast occurred shortly

after the workers returned

from lunch and several eye

witnesses report to seeing...

- say happy birthday!

'Cause she was big.

Sally had made a cake.

- Industrial complex

which is located north-east

of Mumbai is home to

several high-tech companies

that manufacture...

- All right.

We get it.

Yonna prove to us

that you're special.

That you can see the future.

Maybe it's because

you're from there.

If that's true,

if you're really

a time-traveler,

then it stands to reason

that you did not come alone.

That others made the

journey with you.

Now maybe this is normal

where you come from.

Where people just leap

across centuries at will.

And who knows,

who knows what

other miracle skills

you have at your disposal.

Tools and weapons that we

can't even begin to imagine.

Yet, here you are.

You've been trapped in a closet,

the same closet

for three-months.

And maybe, just maybe

you're starting to realize

that your buddies, your

buddies from the future,

they have absolutely no

intention of rescuing you.

- Standing by.

It's an Albanian-Serbian

creole, it means,

- 147 years.

Is that how far you jumped?

You didn't come alone, did you?

- We came

with our leader, Abraham.

- Abraham?

- The father of three

great religions.

Which is why he took

that name for himself.

- How many other

friends came with you?

- They are not my friends.

- Then why join them?

- I believe in their cause.

- Which is?

You wanna change the past.

Is that it?

- You can't change the past.

But you can create a new one.

- Thank you.

You're being helpful, sir.

I'm Fischer.

- Ramiro.

- Is that your name?

I'm pleased to know it, Ramiro.

- Don't put me back

in that cell, Fischer.

- I have to.

- I have a set of demands.

Minimal requirements that

will earn you my cooperation.

- Yeah, couple names and the

vague beginnings of a story

are not really

gonna earn you much.

- Then I'll ask you this.

Do you want to defeat

Abraham and his men?

Do you want to save your world?

- Sorry.
