Follow me.|I'll show you where we kick off.

You wouldn't mind|if Agent Walker accompanied us?

I'd love to hear about|his most recent mission.

- I have a report to file.|- Agent Walker would be delighted.

All units switch to TEC channel three.

All units switch|to TEC channel three.

As you can see,|we've spared every expense.

No comfort, no convenience,|no necessities. Watch your head.

So, Agent Walker,|who were you after?

A man named Atwood.|Ring a bell?

Atwood. No.|Should that name be familiar to me?

- Unfortunately, Atwood was a TEC agent.|- Really?

See, George, I don't|want to sound like a broken record...

but that's one of the dangers|of having an agency like this.

- Imagine the dangers of not having it.|- Did you know this Atwood?

He was my partner.

Oh, I'm sorry.|Nothing worse than a rogue cop.

- Except the guy who paid him.|- If there is such a guy.

- There always is.|- Do you know who the man is?

- Oh, yeah.|- Why don't you arrest him?

- I lost my witness.|- Oh.

Well, I trust you'll|keep working on it.

You can bet on it.

Hydrogen specialists,|prepare for inspection.

We've updated our entire operation|to Parker Datalink Systems...

utilizing their|superconducting chip.

Senator McComb|was Jack Parker's partner...

and sold out before the company|got the patent on that chip.

- Bet that cost you a few billion.|- Whoa, bad luck.

My deal with Jack Parker|is not important, Mr. Spota.

What is important is talking about|the dangers of this program.

- You got my vote.|- Excuse me. What dangers?

Well, dishonest agents|like this, uh, Atwood.

Every time an agent goes back,|he risks making contact with|the past version of himself.

- That could be a disaster.|- And why is that?

The same matter can't occupy|the same space at the same time.

It's never happened.

Not yet, but what I propose...

is far less costly|yet accomplishes the same thing.

Why don't we just|prevent time travel...

rather than spend money|trying to police it?

I have to get back|to the Hill.

Malcolm, this is a project|that we could do without.

I hope you vote against|continued appropriations.

I admire your dedication,|Agent Walker.

I hope you keep trying|to get your man.

I never quit.

We've done a breakdown|of the latest poll results.

While the trends|are not what we want...

there are some good things|we can utilize.

The numbers in the suburbs|are encouraging...

but they are killing you|in the urban centers.

But you're gaining with the pro-life,|pro-death-penalty coalition...

and with the close-our-border,|anti-immigration faction.

The bad news is the campaign chairman|put together a projected budget...

from now to Election Day,|and it's a big number.
