Destiny.

Destiny?

You’ve been asking me about my motives.

Right.

Right.

My methods.

They’re all connected.

Everything’s connected.

Okay.

How was Claire Kuchever connected?

I needed a car.

And that’s it?

No, well, something that couldn’t be traced back to me.

Right.

I had one ready till that cop showed up.

That cop was a federal agent.

Lawrence Minuti.

My partner.

You shot him.

He.

I was about to burn him and he was waking up, you know?

I mean, I’m not cruel.

Well, why didn’t you “do that” for Claire Kuchever?

Well, because I needed her to look like a ferry victim, and a bullet would’ve given it away.

I see.

I went to her house on the pretense of buying her car.

I took her from behind, taped her mouth and threw a hood over her head.

Then?

I bound her wrists and her ankles and I drove her back to my place.

I loaded the device into her car and then I soaked her with the gasoline.

Jesus.

And?

I think you know what happened after that.

No, I don’t know.

I want you to tell me.

You gotta talk.

I mean, you know, come on, hero.

What happened after that?

I’ll tell you what happened after that.

You killed 543 people.

How do you feel about that?

I think that you were a murderer right from the beginning.

Sometimes a little human collateral is the cost of freedom.

To me, those people were war casualties, but to you, they’re just evidence.

That’ll do.

We got him.

CARLIN: What’d you say?

You think you know what’s coming?

You don’t have a clue.

I know where you’re going.

I know you’re gonna be away for a long time.

I know that.

This case will never even go to trial.

No?

Uh-uh.

‘Cause I seen what’s coming.

Did.

Have you?

What?

What is in this glass?

You’ve seen what’s coming, huh?

Okay, what’s coming?

You tell me.

I told you earlier I have a destiny, a purpose.

Satan reasons like man, but God thinks of eternity.

Well, I prostrate myself before a world that’s going to hell in a handbag, ‘cause in all eternity, I am here and I will be remembered.

That’s destiny.

A bomb has a destiny,a predetermined fate set by the hand of its creator.

And anyone who tries to alter that destiny will be destroyed.

Anyone who tries to stop it from happening will cause it to happen.

And that’s what you don’t understand.

We’re not here to coexist.

I’m here to win.

So you’d better have some divine intervention, buddy.

You’re gonna need it.

You’d better have some K-Y.

You’re gonna need it.

What am I supposed to do?

We’re shutting you down.

What?

Yeah, we got what we need.

The forensics, the suspect, a confession.

We’re done.

Sir, perhaps we should continue and watch the actual crime.

The ferry bombing.

Right.

He’s right.

I mean, we… we can’t just go on the confession alone.

We need an airtight case.

We need to collect more evidence.

Well, collecting evidence would’ve been fine, Agent Carly.

You took it a little further than that.

Agent Carlin.

Carlin.

My name is Carlin, not Carly.

We had protocols in place.

There’s strict protocols.

And then you had to push it, and now an agent’s dead.

Sir, by one theory, that already happened.

We’re done.

Power it down.

Pack it up.

On to the next case.

What about Claire?

What.

Lookit, charging Oerstadt in the Kuchever murder is gonna raise too many questions about how we obtained the evidence.

I understand that, sir, but what about Claire?

Are we just gonna drop the case?

We got him on the ferry bombing, we got him on killing a federal agent.

That’s enough to get him the needle.

I cannot accept that, sir.

Well, you know, I don’t give a rat’s ass what you can accept.

She doesn’t matter.

He’s gonna kill her.

In 12 hours, he’s gonna kill her.

He killed her four days ago.

You were at the funeral.

What’s wrong with you?

It had to happen.

I delayed turning in my report till we caught the guy.

Hey, mission accomplished.

This is a victory, Doug.

Hey.

Now, my job is closure.

Your job is to help facilitate that closure.

Then you tell me, what do I tell her father?

We caught the son of a bitch.

We can’t save the victims.

It’s not our job to make the relatives feel better.

We lose everything that we care about.

Those are your words.

Doug, it’s not your fault that Claire dies.

Yeah, that’s one theory.

Chaplain Rabbi

Benjamin Mendelsson.

Denny?

It’s Doug.

Well, I can’t say I wasn’t expecting this call.

Look, you know what happens if you try this.

We both know what happens if I don’t.

Well, not a lot of guinea pigs volunteer to die in the name of science.

Well, then we have to make sureI end up somewhere besides the morgue.

Can you help me?

I’ll see you when you get here.

Doug?

Do me a favor.

When you finish, turn off the lights.

You do that one more time, you set off every alarm in the joint.

Can’t take it.

Gotta keep the mass as low as possible.

You gotta take everything off.

You can keep your underwear on.

Thank you very much.

Thought you said you didn’t believe in changing the past.

Right.

Well, I also believe in God.

Just don’t tell anyone.

I’m gonna tell everybody.

Yeah?

You know, when I open up the throttle on this thing.

Yeah, I know.

EM field, flatline.

I got it.

Thing of it is, no matter how clever we think we are, the most probable outcome of our little experiment is that four and a half days ago you get a call from the coroner’s office.

“Hey, Agent Carlin, I want you to come down here.

“There’s something you should see.”

And next thing you know, you’re standing over a corpse and it’s you.

Well, you can be wrong a million times.

You only gotta be right once.

Besides, I think I’d remember if that happened, right?

So I gotta face out toward you?

Yeah, face out.

Just like the note, only bigger.

You ready?

No.

You don’t have to do this.

What if I already have?

Right.

Doug?

DENNY: Doug?

Hey.

Hello?

You okay in there?

Yeah.

You good?

Yeah, yeah, I’m good.

I’m beside myself.

Am I still here?

For now.

You ready?

Yeah, I’m ready.

All right.

Looking forward to walking up to you four days ago and blowing your mind, though.

Well, if that happens, maybe you can tell me what it’s like to meet your younger self.

All right, I’ll let you know.

All right, remember, the ferry blows at 10:50 on Fat Tuesday,

okay?

Yeah.

Here we go.

See you yesterday.

God willing.

DENNY: Good, good.

You don’t have to do this.

CLAIRE: Hello?

CARLIN: Maybe I already have.

Maybe I already have.

NURSE: What the hell?

DOCTOR: All right, hold on, everybody.

The reserve generators should kick in.

Nobody move.

That was interesting.

Doctor!

Who the hell is that?

Where’d he come from?

All right, let’s get him into Trauma.

Trauma 2, Trauma 2!

DOCTOR: This is weird.

NURSE: Defib.

Clear!

Recharge it again.

Clear!

Recharge to 300.

Charging.

Clear!

Resume CPR.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

MAN: (ON TV) thirty-four degrees.

Forty-nine was our low temperature at the airport.

Gonna be at that or just maybe above that for tonight.

Let me show you why.

Look, the winds are starting. a few of them come back.

I’m thinking about getting a tattoo.

Whoa!

I’m a federal agent.

I need your keys.

I need a vehicle.

There’s keys in the truck there.

Which one?

Right here?

Put your hands down.

Hands on the table.

Hold your donut.

Hands right there.

Water it.

MAN: (ON TV) This might be a metaphor for existence itself.

A fish struggles instinctively against an almost formless antagonist.

The fish is a largemouth bass.

MAN: (ON RADIO) Here’s the news at 8:30.

Federal officials are still baffled by the massive blackout that darkened the entire eastern half of the country early this morning.
