What is destiny?

Is it a predetermined path
between point A and B?

or is it just a culmination of
all our individual decisions.

I am not a man with grand
purpose.

I'm simply a man who made a
decision.

A decision to do something
different.

No worldwide problems to solve.

I did it because I thought I
could.

Day 127.

Morale is high.

This house is quite
charming and comfortable.

Everything so far has
gone according to plan.

Staying busy helps keep my mind

off of how isolated it can be
here.

I'm really satisfied with the
progress that I've been making

and hope it continues.

I feel like I'm on the
verge of solving the problem

that's keeping me here.

The tools of this time
are just so primitive.

I'm forced to ignore

almost a century of
technological advancements.

I do, however, enjoy the
challenge this presents me.

Day 463.

This work is taking much
longer than I had anticipated.

Every breakthrough has been
coupled

with at least two more setbacks

and what originally felt like
progress

is really nothing more than a
dead end.

I feel as if I'm getting
nowhere.

My life has become a rhythm.

An endless loop of the same
thing, day in and day out.

Sometimes I wonder what's
happening

outside of these four walls,

but I can't let myself think
that way.

I must keep going.

I have to make this work.

Getting back home is all I have.

There is nothing else.

Today is the day it all ends.

Despite all of my best efforts,
everything has been in vain.

My will is broken.

I don't know if it's the
limitations of technology

that are available to me
in this time or my own.

Either way, I know I'll
never be going home.

The simple truth is that
I leave this world alone.

No family.

I shut out the only friend I
had.

No one will ever know of the
things I have accomplished

or even of my failures and
mistakes.

This is the only decision I have
left.

I can only hope this will
cause no further damage.

I thought time travel would
be exciting, liberating,

but in the end it was just
escaping

one prison to enter another.

I've done everything I can do.

I don't know what else I could
do,

I've tried.

I've tried.

But I'm not doing this anymore.

Suit power at full
capacity

facility diagnostics complete.

A.N.I. system online.

Hello A.N.I.

Good afternoon.

Your day is finally here.

You ready?

All systems go.

Good.

Alright, start it up.

Portal
polarity initiated.

Beginning
count down sequence.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6

5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

Sir, are you okay?

Exclusion zone
notice. Level 3 evacuation.

Immediate and imminent
danger.

Evacuate immediately.

This is to promote
your safety.

Hey, are you okay?

Sir, you're bleeding everywhere.

Do you want me to call for some
help?

No, I'm fine.

Get out of here.

You know what, I'm getting
help.

No need to yell at me.

I said leave.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Told you I'd be fine.

I'm fine

Just sit still.

Got most of the blood cleaned
up,

but you're definitely going
to want to see a doctor

about some stitches.

You fell and hit your head
pretty hard.

Look, what are you still doing
here?

I appreciate the help
but you need to just go.

Fine.

You know, this really isn't my
problem.

But fine, if you want me to
go, I'll leave you alone.

Yes, fine just go.

You know, everyone living
around here

thinks some lonely hermit's
living here.

Is that so?

Yeah and now I can see why.

And that's why you're alone.

I am so angry.

Everything was set.

I had accepted my way out of
this hell

and she took it from me.

I can't control anything.

What do I have left?

This encounter with her
triggered another episode.

Visions, memories I don't know.

I wish I could understand

and yet all I can think about is
her.

A.N.I.!

Wait a minute,
did you shut me off?

Have I been off for two and a
half years?

Look at you.

You're a mess, you're all banged
up.

- I know, I know.
- I told you

turning me off was a bad idea.

I'm very sorry about all
that and you were right.

Of course I was
right.

I'm not an emotional or
irrational creature like you.

Look A.N.I., I need you for
something.

Um no, put me back
down.

Let me charge first.

You'll be fine.

This won't take more
than a minute, I'm sure.

After that, I'll let you bask in
the sun.

How about that?

Wonderful.

This is what I need
you to analyze for me.

What am I looking at

and what's making that noise?

Okay, you have to get
me closer to the source.

Set me down on the sink.

Okay, I hear water dripping.

You know you might want
to get those pipes fixed.

You have one nasty water hammer.

I'm not exactly sure I know
what I'm looking for here.

All I'm picking up is a natural
frequency.

Sounds familiar, right?

A standing wave
pattern.

Hm. This solves your power
issue,

but you're going to have a hard
time

using early 21st century
technology.

I hope you don't plan on using
sink parts.

Leave that part to me.

I'd recommend
shutting off the faucet

before your house shakes apart.

Duly noted.

It's been a while, hasn't it?

You've not left this
house once

since I was turned off, have
you?

I do believe I'm ready
to leave this place.

I can imagine you
are.

At least you have me again.

I know you missed me.

It looks like you missed
a lot of showers too.

Are you taking care of yourself?

A.N.I. don't start.

I think we finally have
a chance this time.

Our work
does seem cut out for us

but I believe you're right.

Okay, where do we start?

Wait right here.

Please tell me
you're using that for parts.

Nope, he's doing what I think
he's doing.

Nothing like a good song

to get your creative juices
flowing, right A.N.I?

While I do you
understand

the merits of music for humans,

I can't understand how
you call this music.

Come on, this is good stuff.

I'm so glad
we traveled to the past

so we could listen to music
that's even further in the past.

The time travel never stops.

You know, if we could
get this thing working,

I could arrange that.

If I get
you back to the future,

I get to pick the music from now
on.

Deal.

After being alone in
this house for so long,

not making any progress on the
machine,

I finally felt useful again.

I forgot how much I missed
having someone to talk to.

With A.N.I.'s help we made
a great break-through.

I began to work feverishly
and I found myself

losing track of time.

The days and weeks blurred
together

as our design took shape.

For the first time in a very
long time,

I began to believe.

It felt good.

It's a good start.

It feels good having
something to do around here.

Nobody has
perfected tea like you have.

I'm curious.

May I ask you something?

It may be considered of a
personal nature.

Sure.

I didn't deem
it appropriate at the time,

but now that we're making
progress.

Continue.

You have not
once mentioned the injuries

you have sustained to your head.

I also analyze the basement and
detected

a small explosive device.

It appears to have been forcibly
opened.

What happened while I was gone?

- I tried to kill myself.
- Why would you do that?

I didn't care anymore.

Someone knocked on the door,
someone new.

She must've just started
working and I thought she left

but I opened the door

and this woman was standing
there

and then it happened.

Did you see something again?

Yes, but somehow different.

I wonder if
these visual occurrences

are your brain having a hard
time

adjusting to the current time
period.

I tried as hard as I could to
stay away,

to keep from interfering from
anything outside this house

and still, still something
happened.

Norman, maybe
our effects on time

are wholly inconsequential.

Are you so sure that
time is not predefined?

Perhaps the sum of our choices

will always lead us down the
same path.

Norman, what's on your mind?

Wow.

The night sky is beautiful.

I imagine it is.

Day 1,320

Today I woke up in a good
mood.

Yeah, things are going well.

You're looking
refreshed this morning.

- How's your tea?
- It's good.

It's really good A.N.I., good
tea.

- Shall I play some music?
- Yes, that'd be nice.

I think you might
like this.

Uh oh.

What is it?

I believe you
may have miscalculated

our window of opportunity
to make this trip.

What do you mean?

By how much?

I've finished
running your calculations

and this can still work.

Look, given the technology
you had to work with...

A.N.I. how much?

Well Norman, it's not
good.

We have a three hour window
in precisely eight days,

10 hours and 27 minutes.

We need the gravitational boost
to augment the power system.

The next window of opportunity
is over three years from now.

I know the timing will be tight,

but I'm confident we can
get everything done in time.

I'm sorry things are so rushed.

I know a small part of
you will miss this place.

I hope you're confident
in the decision to leave.

Let's get to work.

Our efforts have been greatly
increased.

A.N.I.'s been working to reverse
engineer

the original formula to
hopefully take us back

to around the time we left.

Even with the accelerated
deadline,

everything's coming
together as I had hoped.

It's funny, although it
stands for everything

that has haunted me these three
years,

I find myself feeling a bit
nostalgic

over leaving this house.

It's odd to become so
attached to something I hate.

And the girl, why do I feel
such a connection with her?

None of it makes sense.

It's as if something deep inside
me

believes that my time
here was meant to happen.

The other part of me is in fear

of how much I've altered my own
path

and the effects that remain
unseen.

Regardless, I have work to do

and I shouldn't waste
time with speculation.

Norman, what's going
on?

She's out there, isn't she?

The only reason I'm playing
this is because you told me to.

If you're watching this,
then you already know.

Don't do it.

Every time you're going back
out there, something changes.

Those people are real

and their lives could be
changed now because of you.

A.N.I. turn on.

- Come on, come on, turn on.
- Slow down.

What happened?

I saw something.

I don't know what it was, but it
hurt.

It was like this severe headache

and then there were these
images.

- I don't understand.
- What images?

I'm changing things,
everything.

Even the smallest things.

I don't know why I thought
it would be any different.

You aren't making any
sense.

I can't do this.

Being here, I can't just
keep going back out there.

I'm too vulnerable.

I'm too exposed and there's
just too many variables.

What did you expect?

You knew the risks
before taking this trip.

I know, I know.

I just thought,

- I just thought it could be...
- Could be what?

This is only going to happen
again.

This can't happen again.

A.N.I. I need you to
record something for me.

Are you going to
tell me what this is all about?

- Are we recording?
- Yes.

If you're watching this,
then you already know.

Don't do it.

Every time you go back out
there, something changes.

Those people are real

and their lives could be
changed now because of you.

I know you didn't want any of
this to happen, but it did,

and what's done is done.

There is nothing out there for
you.

There never has been and never
will be.

This is not your time.

I know you can't change
what's already happened,

but you can prevent more from
happening.

Find a way, rebuild it.

Do whatever it takes,
you have to get back.

Don't let your past
mistakes ruin the future.

You can still make the right
choice.

Are you okay?

A.N.I., whatever I say,
whatever I do

if you ever think I am getting
too attached to this place,

I need you to play that for me.

Promise me.

Of course.

I cannot say for sure exactly

what you're trying to
accomplish.

I need some place I can go
unnoticed.

I can't keep going back
into town for everything.

It's too dangerous.

I can establish for you
an identity, bank account,

license, anything you need.

I don't need much.

Just some place inconspicuous,
and I'll need space to work.

Let's start simple
then.

How about a name?

I don't know

Norman

Searching my
database for availability

and potential future conflicts.

It's hard to imagine
everything I've already changed

without even noticing it.

There's so many variables.

It is complete.

Nice to meet you, Norman Brandt.

Norman Brandt?

Norman Brandt.

Good job A.N.I., I like it.

I'm glad that
it is to your satisfaction.

I have acquired a home from
a recently deceased person

with no known living relatives.

There are several options for
home food delivery services

within this area.

I'm setting you up with one now.

A food shipment will arrive

on your doorstep every two
months.

You aren't allergic to gluten
are you?

Yes, no?

Okay, moving on.

Concerning your finances, I
could deposit

one large lump sum into
a bank account for you

or to avoid suspicion, I would
suggest

periodically depositing smaller
amounts.

Wow, that was fast.

Creating a work order

to install a new transformer
for your neighborhood.

This will allow you fully
uninterrupted power.

Okay A.N.I., hold on.

Creating a profile

for all of your surrounding
neighbors,

including the times they
leave for and arrive from work

and on average when they
take their yearly vacations.

The neighbor directly across
from you

has been diagnosed with stage
four cancer

and has weekly in home
visits from a nurse.

Okay, A.N.I. stop.

This is too much.

These are essential
actions that should be taken.

It's too much.

There's nothing

you can't do for me.

I can't do this.

I can only change so much
with my personal actions,

but with you, it's just
too much knowledge.

I have to do this alone

and I have to shut you off.

I strongly advise
against that.

I know you do, and maybe
you're right

but I don't trust myself.

You're making a huge
mistake.

- Goodbye for now.
- Let me help you.

There's things you don't
understand

about your effects on the...

What's bothering you?

I told my
parents I was leaving.

Getting my own place.

I felt so powerful.

It's a decision that I made

and no one else could
convince me otherwise.

I never liked it there anyway,

constantly arguing with my dad.

Never could see eye to eye with
my mom.

During an argument with my dad,

I decided then and there that I
had enough

and that I was leaving.

So later that night I
grabbed as much stuff

as I could fit into my backpack
and left.

I just left.

The next day I got a phone call

saying that both of my parents
had died in a car accident.

They just wanted to come talk
with me

and the worst part is,

I can't even remember what
we were arguing about.

After that, everything changed.

I became consumed with my
work, consumed with an idea.

I no longer felt like I
belonged.

I shut out the rest of the
world.

I just wanted to escape.

A.N.I., I won't let my
actions hurt these people

like they did my parents.

I never want to experience
anything like that again.

Let's just fix this thing and
go.

I wish I could have saved my
parents.

That was my original intention
for building the machine.

I knew in my heart it
could be a one way trip.

What I've learned from all of
this,

is how unpredictable time
travel is and how one man

could potentially destroy so
many lives.

I would not dare tempt
fate after learning this.

There are too many variables.

Too many what ifs.

Does it make me an evil person

that I gave up on the idea
of trying to save them?

I don't believe it does.

From my perspective,
they're better off now.

This world is just broken.

Wherever they may be, I hope
I can still make them proud.

Everything is a go
Norman.

Are you ready?

All right, let's do this.

A.N.I., stop.

Norman, if
you really want to leave,

stick to the plan.

I know in your heart you've
grown

attached to this place, to her.

Do not ruin this opportunity
to...

Ruin what?

- This?
- I did not mean to upset you.

A.N.I. I have wasted
three years of my life

in this stupid place.

I was trying to say,

do not ruin this opportunity to
leave.

If you want to go to her, then
do it,

but commit to your choice.

You can't have both, Norman.

I'm sorry, but I have to do
this.

Hey.

I just. I just wanted to tell
you.

Tell me what?

Look, the thing is.

Look, I'm really busy
okay, so save it for...

There's not going to be a next
time.

Look, what you did for me,

I just wanted to say thank you.

You didn't have to do that
and I wanted to apologize.

Look, I've just been under the
wire lately

and I just wanted to say sorry.

Okay, thanks.

I really do have to get going
though.

I'm actually really behind
schedule

and my boss is a real jerk about
that.

I just, I didn't want you
thinking

that that's how I am all the
time.

Hey, are you alright?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay.

I guess I'll see you again soon.

Actually, you won't.

- I'm leaving tomorrow.
- Where to?

- I'm going home.
- Where's home for you?

Home is far away.

Well,

Good luck. Have a safe trip,
okay.

Thank you.

My name is Norman.

I'm Jennifer, but most
people just call me Jenny.

Nice meeting you Jenny.

Okay, bye.

Why!

Can I get you something?

A.N.I., A.N.I., I figured it
out.

Great, this
time you figured it out.

No seriously, I figured it
out.

Get that light.

I'm glad you have
at least one thing figured out.

Maybe we should work on
things like personal hygiene.

Look, just trust me okay.

What I need you to do, is
get the machine running,

but this time, keep the power
levels as low as possible

until I tell you to spike it.

- Okay?
- This is consuming you.

You're barely sleeping and I
know you're not eating much.

Look, I'm fine.

Let's just focus.

Do you even
know what day it is?

Thursday.

No, Friday.

It's been one
year since your parents died.

A.N.I. stop.

You've hardly spoken
to anyone since that day.

You've become a hermit.

You know you have to deal
with this sooner or later.

But I don't have to deal with
it today.

Can we please, please just
concentrate.

Lights.

A.N.I. slowly start to
increase the density.

Come on, come on, come on.

- Come on.
- The levels are fluctuating.

Come on.

You are going
to push it too far.

No, no, keep it A.N.I.

Push it.

Come on!

No!

Delete it.

- Delete the program, I'm done.
- Whoa it's okay.

We made some progress.

Maybe next time, I'm
sure you'll make it work.

Work?

We aren't any closer now
than we were a year ago.

A.N.I. I failed.

I failed myself, I failed my
family, I failed everyone.

I'm done.

We can still use
the data for later experiments.

Delete it.

Delete the program.

I said delete it!

A.N.I. what just happened?

I think you did it.

It worked.

- It worked.
- I wonder where it went.

Are you alright?

I'm ready to end this.

Let's go home.

- Ready to go?
- I am.

20 seconds, 15 seconds,

10 seconds,

5 seconds.

It's time to go.

A.N.I. get the lights.

A.N.I.

A.N.I.!

What happened here?

A.N.I., what did we do?

Exclusion Zone
Notice. Level 3 Evacuation

Immediate and imminent danger.

Evacuate immediately.

This is to promote your safety.

All remaining, non-vital
presence, will be

considered a threat and
dealt with accordingly.

Exclusion Zone effective in
sectors

1, 3, 9, 15, 21, 35.

Take his mask off.

Civilian sector 3.

Non vital presence

Exclusion Zone effective.

Evacuate immediately.

Kill him, take his gear.

Norman, get up.

Can you hear me?

Are you okay?

Are you alright?

We need to get out of here.

Move Norman, now!

Priority target to the south.

Take all others out.

Capture neutral target alive.

A.N.I., we need to get back to
the lab.

You're covered in
blood.

Are you okay?

It's not mine.

Well, not all of it.

How long was I out?

I'm unable to answer that
question.

I'm trying to establish our
location.

All network towers are offline.

A.N.I., find out where we are.

I'm linked to the
GPS data of the drone nearby.

We're roughly 126 miles
southeast of the lab.

We will need transportation.

Alright, good work.

Let's do it

Norman, 10 o'clock, 16 meters.

You need to breathe.

Don't jerk the trigger.

Pull it straight back. Tuck the
stock

A.N.I. shut up!

Shutting up.

Find him, bring him back here.

We need him for questioning.

- Are you going to make it?
- I'm fine.

I'm fine, we're almost there.

Take it easy, take it easy.

Put the gun down.

Put it down, put it down!

Whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

Put the gun down.

Norman, I can't see
anything.

What is going on?

I'm detecting multiple sets of
footsteps.

We don't want any trouble.

Kick it over to him.

Just trying to survive here.

We're going to leave now, we're
leaving.

Won't see us again, okay?

A.N.I., turn the lights on.

All standard
power is inoperable.

Checking backup generators.

One moment.

I don't understand.

I screwed everything up
but how is it still here?

I am unable
to answer that question.

Most of the facility is offline.

We can try to manually boot the
system.

I need to perform system
diagnostics.

I'll need to interface directly.

The entire system architecture
has been corrupted.

Can you fix it?

I can attempt
to repair the architecture.

Good, do it.

Odd.

Most of the equipment
appears to be operational.

Beginning file repair.

25% complete.

50% complete.

75% complete.

File repair complete.

How's it look?

Is it going to work?

System
architecture is now stable.

Start it up.

Initializing system
startup.

Norman, what are you doing?

A.N.I., I want you to
send me back to the start.

I don't
understand what you mean.

If I do this, I can go
back and fix everything.

Maybe you can
go back and fix things

or maybe you'll make things
worse.

This could be a never ending
cycle.

We don't know what caused
things to turn out this way.

Listen, you have to let me
try.

Analyzing system logs

for any pertinent information.

A.N.I.! listen to me.

I'm ordering you to send me
back.

Portal
polarity initiated.

Beginning countdown sequence.

What is that?

I retrieved the video
recording

from the day we left.

You should see this.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6,
5, 4.

- This is when we first left.
- Keep watching.

3, 2, 1.

What are they doing?

They're supposed to shut it
down.

No, no.

Shut it down.

They're supposed to be shutting
it down.

What just happened?

What's going on?

A.N.I., what time did we come
back to?

What's the date?

I'm scanning
the entire wave spectrum

for information.

All network signals are offline.

All personal communication
signals are offline.

I have detected a single radio
signal

that is being broadcasted on
a loop from an outside source.

Emergency broadcast,
645-121.

An unidentified disaster
occurred in sector three

causing failures of power
and communication systems

in a 200 mile radius.

An Exclusion Zone is now in
effect.

Level three evacuation is
ordered

for all on vital residence.

Proceed along designated
evacuation routes

after evacuation protocols are
complete.

It's all just a waste A.N.I.

It's all just a waste.

All those years, everything
I've put myself through,

it still happened.

The problem was here.

It was always here.

I never should have built this
thing.

A.N.I. what do I do?

I never wanted any of this to
happen.

There's nothing that you can
do.

But I now know what needs to be
done.

Memory
core transfer initiated.

A.N.I., what are you doing?

Memory
core transfer complete.

A.N.I. talk to me.

- What are you doing?
- System restart in 3, 2, 1.

Full system deletion in two
minutes.

A.N.I., talk to me.

Hello Norman.

I am sorry that I did not have
enough time

to explain this to you,
but I must stay behind.

No, no A.N.I., what
are you talking about?

I could not
understand this before,

but I now realize that you
cannot

truly change your destination.

The decisions you make cannot be
undone.

I am sending you back.

A.N.I., I'm not going
anywhere without you.

I must stay behind
to make sure you are safe

and that this technology
is never used again.

A.N.I please, please
don't do this to me.

I do not wish to
leave you.

I hope that you understand

that all of the decisions
I've made are to protect you.

Though I do not truly
comprehend human emotions,

I consider you to be my friend.

- I can't live alone again.
- You will not be alone.

This is the path you're supposed
to be on.

A.N.I. you're all I've
got, please don't do this.

Trust me Norman,
it is time to let go.

I'm sorry.

- Goodbye A.N.I.
- Goodbye Norman.

Search the area.

Left clear.

Back room clear.

Side room's clear.

Checking the tunnel.

Coming back, I was emotionally
conflicted.

I just left my only friend in
the world.

I felt the weight of being alone

but I was also eternally
grateful

for the sacrifice that A.N.I.
made.

I didn't understand at the time

why she sent me back here, to
now.

Standing outside the house that
night,

it all made sense.

Sending me back not only saved
me

from the dangers of the future,
it saved me from myself.

My name's Norman.

I'm Jennifer but most
people just call me Jenny.

Nice meeting you Jenny.

Okay, bye.

What is destiny?

I don't know.

I don't know if our
path is simply a result

of the last choice we made
and the one before that

and the one before that.

I don't know if I believe
that everything has a purpose.

What matters is that from now
on,

I will live as if my life does.

I don't know what's laid out for
my future

and that's how it should be.

So I will not worry about
tomorrow,

for tomorrow will worry for
itself.

Thank you A.N.I. for seeing
what I didn't want to

and for showing me

that the sun will always
set on the next hill.

I know I will never get back

the things I've sacrificed in
the past,

but my future is made from
the decisions that I make now.

This chapter has ended,
but my journey has not.

It has just begun.
