The Gateway Page #3

Maybe they're more

advanced than us.

Well, not likely.

We made the first move.

The real question is...

i mean, who are they?

Well, they're humanoid,

at least.

There must be a better way

of communicating.

Let's us this.

This thing's an antique. You sure

they're gonna know how to use it?

Shut up.

Get it in there.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Plug it in.

Oh!

Our lab.

It's them.

- Whoa!

- Are they chambers?

Here is our data collection.

Oh wait, hang on, here we go.

It's, um...

whoa!

I'm Jane Chandler.

- Holy sh*t.

- Congratulations.

We have been working on this

for a long time, and...

- thanks for sending us the...

- that's... that's you.

Parameters.

Hi. What?

What are you doing here?

Um, I've got...

I've gotta go. Bye.

I mean, tegmark's right.

It is a parallel world.

And... so everyone over there

is the same as here?

Everyone.

Everything slightly different.

And there's another version

of me over there right now?

Oh, heaven help us.

Oh, my god.

So... so what

do we do now?

Uh, well, what can we do

from an ethical perspective?

Well, it would be great to

find out more about their world.

Maybe, you know, maybe they have

medical breakthroughs that we don't.

Maybe they've got

cures for cancer. Maybe...

I wonder what their

computer systems are like.

We could go across.

No, no way, that's way

too dangerous.

What? Look,

the apple was fine.

The camera went across,

came back.

Files were completely intact.

That's completely different.

It's an apple.

How is it different?

Well, if any of the parameters

fluctuate even by a micron

during the process,

then our DNA will disassemble

and it won't...

it won't be pretty.

Yeah, you're right.

This is too dangerous.

If something were

to happen to me...

would you... would you be able

to look after the kids?

Jane, you're gonna be fine.

It's just the worst case

scenario.

Well, of course, I would

look after your kids.

They're family, and I love them.

And I love you, too, okay?

No.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You're supposed to be dead.

No. No, no.

I'm... I'm alive.

And I'm fine.

I'm going crazy.

I'm going crazy.

And the kids are fine, too.

We don't have kids.

Hold on a minute.

All right.

You... you know

about my job,

and the work that we're

trying to achieve at the lab?

Right?

It worked.

Now, you just said

that... that I died,

but in my world,

where I come from,

you died in a car accident

just about a mile from here.

That's the way you died.

- We have kids?

- We've got two.

Can you take me there?

Can you take me there?

I can try.

Oh, my god, no.

No, no, no, no, no.

Oh, Jesus.

What have you done?

- Oh.
