A video projection

of a grassy field?

No, it's a little more

complicated than that.

The window is a rupture

in the wave function

of the universe.

It's unstable,

prone to changing suddenly

and in irregular fashion.

Every time a new window

opens up,

we send a probe inside

to look around.

Here's what we got

from the current location.

Wait.

That's a Morris eight series.

They made those back in...

- 1934.

- Exactly.

This is a field

in Gloucester, England,

on July 22, 1934.

We caught the exact date

off a radio broadcast.

Time travel.

That's what you built here.

That's right, Sean.

And this is the mission,

isn't it?

You want us to save New York.

Knox, you'll be leading a team

into the window.

We want you to conduct

a clandestine op,

subtly adjusting the past

in order to alter the present.

Dr. Benjamin Rourke.

I'm sure you're

very familiar with him.

Your goal will be

to prevent him

from destroying New York.

So this is everywhere

this thing's been.

Yes, every time and place

since it appeared

six months ago.

"2 hours, central China, 1748?

28 hours in Madrid, 1897."

What predicts

where this thing goes?

We don't know.

This is natural radiation.

It's in a free flow between

the past and the present.

When it builds up,

the window destabilizes

and bounces.

At this point,

we can't tell it where to go,

and we can only estimate

how long it stays open.

What about side effects...

Physical, psychological?

- We don't know.

- I'm sorry, doctor.

So what about this

do you know right now?

Very little.

Which is exactly what

I've been telling the general.

- Doctor...

- This facility

is at least three years away

from operational readiness.

We have no idea

what the possible

consequences might be.

Doctor, I understand,

but maybe you haven't

turned on the news lately.

We don't have a choice anymore.

The loss of New York

has thrown the world economies

into a freefall,

and a military conflict

isn't far behind.

The world's coming to an end

unless we do something

about it.

This is John Malcolm.

He'll be your Pentagon liaison.

Now, Knox and Gates will run

a two-man op on the inside.

I'm sorry... what?

No!

General, you need me

in that window.

No.

We're not going there, Bryce.

This is a one-time

military op.

These men have worked

all over the world.

When I was joint special ops

command, they were my very best.

They don't know

the first thing about this.

General, she's right.

Just being honest.

Danny and I are

a little out of our range here.

General, I don't think

that involving a civilian

in a field op is

a particularly good idea here.

- I do.

- Are we gonna vote on this?
