[soft thuds]

[thud]

[music swells]

[music swells]

I didn't expect
to see you tonight.

Same.

Um, Donna asked
if I would take some photos

of the improv show.

[chuckles] I'm not stalking you
or anything.

Did you play?

Yeah.

Yeah, I played.

It's not as bad as you think.

- It's not.
- You didn't see it.

You're too hard on yourself.

[sighing]

I'm sorry
for not calling you after...

I should have called you
and I didn't.

Oh.

Um, ah...

It's alright.

I know you're really busy.

You are busy, right?

Yes.

Very busy.

Okay.

This was a mistake.

I should go.

Okay.

[cars passing]

[soft sigh]

[mumbling quietly]

Focus on the future.

[loud crash]

[softly] Get away.

- [Barnaby panting]
- [Copper] Hey!

A great show today.

What?

Um, your show,
the place with all the chairs.

It was great. So...

- What?
- [Copper] Yeah.

I saw the show
and I thought you were great,

so I thought it would be okay
to just tell you

that I saw the show
and that you were great.

You were really great.
I just want you to know

you were really great
at the show.

You came to the show?

- Um hmm.
- Why did you chase me?

- [Copper] What?
- Why did you chase me?

[Copper] You started running.

I thought I wouldn't be able
to get you to say, "Good show."

I was just waiting
to say, "Good show,"

then I caught up to you
and I wanted to say "Good show."

You're very fast.

Jesus.

[Copper] Okay, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.

It's fine. I'm Barnaby.

Yeah...

I should probably get going,
it's late, you know.

But...

It was real nice
to meet you, and...

I just wanted
you to know that, um,

you're a great man.

Talented and courageous.
Just really great, so...

Thank you for that.

Okay.

- Okay.
- [Barnaby] Okay.

Okay. Okay.

It was good.

[both repeating] Okay.

So, just...

[both repeating] Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

[tense music]

Did you play?

[beeping]

[beeping continues]

[sigh]

Hey, this is Barney Bates

from the sketch group
Fart Squad Five.

I've just got a text from Vince

saying he was cancelling
the drinks meeting

we had set for tonight,

and I was just calling
let you guys know

that we are available
for rescheduling

whenever it works best
for Vince.

We can come to him,

or if he wants to meet us
somewhere,

we can meet somewhere else.

We are very flexible,

and we'd love
to make this happen.

This is very important for us.

We would love
to make this happen.

So, give me a call.

I will be available 24/7
for you guys.

I will make sure my phone is on
and in my pocket at all times.

Just really want this to happen.

Okay, thanks so much.
[sigh] Bye.

Shit!

[thud]

[sigh]

[beeping]

[softly] I can't.

Okay, Fart Squad.

Today's focus
is on million hit ideas.

If we can't generate
at least a million views,

I don't want to waste time
talking about it.

Thursday to do list:
9:00 a.m. sketch group.

But what if we have an idea
that only we think is fun?

Fame and fortune first, Zoe,
then we can start having fun.

10:30 screenwriting.

[Barnaby repeating] Hook.

We need to be able to sell
these scripts in a single line.

If I can't pitch this
in an elevator,

it's not worth pitching.

Twelve thirty, sketch marketing.

We want to be taken seriously.

Okay, we want agents

not to cancel on us last minute
for no reason.

It's never gonna happen
if we're walking around town

with Fart Squad Five
t-shirts on.

Did you get a whole box of them?

2:00 p.m. Improv.

Hey, you're back.

[Barnaby] Yeah,
I had a big meeting

I had to cancel,
so I have some time.

- I'll use it to my advantage.
- Great.

Listen, Barnaby, you know,

you've taken this workshop
half a dozen times,

and I haven't seen you
get off the back line once.

Improv's not for everybody.

No, I'm fine. I just need reps.

[sighs] Okay, you can do
whatever you want. It's $20.

Okay, guys,
it's about three o'clock,

so we'll just go ahead
and get started.

- [loud crash]
- Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. I'm so sorry.
Are you okay?

[Copper] I'm okay. How are you?

I'm fine.

[Copper softly] What?

Are you here for the workshop?

Mm.

Okay, well, it's $20.

Okay.

I'm sorry it's crumbled.
I bought it.

- [Beth] Okay.
- Okay.

- [Beth] What's your name?
- What?

What is your name?

My name's Copper.

Copper. Like the metal.

- Okay.
- [Beth] Yeah?

How do you spell your last name?

What?

[Beth] Can you please spell
your last name for me?

Okay. Yeah. F E N C I N G.

- Copper Fencing?
- Hello.

Okay, uh...

Take a seat.

Okay, today to begin,

we are going to be doing
a world building exercise.

[sighs]

Improv's not for everybody.

Did he play?

[softly] What is your deal?

He's climbing the tree.

He's eating cake.

What are you doing?
What are you looking for?

What is that?

What the hell is that?

- [keys jangle]
- [engine starts]

[tense music]

I shouldn't be following him.

[sighs] Okay.

[eerie music]

[distant barking]

[barking continues]

Hello?

[music intensifies]

[door slams]

Hey.

[grunts] Ow.

Don't be mad at me.

[gasps]

I shouldn't have been
at the show,

I shouldn't have gone.
Like, it's my fault.

So, it's all my bad,
so, I'm sorry for that.

- I'm sorry for doing...
- No, you're fine.

Everything's fine. Listen.

I don't care
about any of this stuff, okay?

It doesn't matter.
Nothing matters.

We're good. We're fine, okay?

[whispering] Hey...

You were following me, right?

- No!
- No...

Hey, it's crazy
how similar we are.

It was kinda like
I'm looking in the mirror.

I was following you too, so...

You probably put it
together, right?

Who I am
and what I'm doing here?

[Barnaby] I didn't
put anything together.

Okay, I didn't put
anything together.

I didn't put anything together.

Hey, you don't know who I am?

I don't know who you are.

You don't have to tell me
anything.

Isn't it obvious?

I'm your son.

Yeah, you're my son.
Totally. Yes.

Absolutely.
I should have seen that.

I know that that sounds crazy.
I'm too old to be your son.

Hey, it's crazy,

but there's a perfectly
reasonable explanation for that.

I'm from the future.

I believe you.

I believe you're my son
from the future.

Now let dad go,
and I will leave here, okay?

That's you, right?

The guy in the picture.
It's you, isn't it?

[Barnaby] I don't know
what that is.

Oh.

Um...

I've had this picture
for as long as I can remember.

My mother left it for me.

She told them to tell me
that the man in the picture,

the man in that jacket
with his head turned,

that that was my father.

So, um...

There is some writing
on the back,

like a scribble,
a name and a date.

And...

I know
I shouldn't have gone there,

I know it was a mistake, but...

I just had to see, so...

Okay, listen.

You need to let me go, okay?

You need to let me go right now,
because I cannot die.

I have a lot of things

that I still need to do
with my life.

[Copper] Oh no, you don't,
you're okay.

No, I... What?

Look, I'm gonna let you go,

because I don't know
what else to do.

And I really got to stop
talking,

because people will get
real angry at me,

but just so you know,

if there's anything
you want to do,

with your life, I mean,
you should do it soon,

'cause you've only got, like,
ten months left.

What does that mean?

- [eerie buzzing]
- Okay, nap time now.

What?

[gasp]

[breathing heavily]

[gasping]

- Don't freak out.
- [gasping] What!

What are you doing here?

I needed to talk to you

and you're not answering
my texts.

Okay. How did
you get in the apartment?

You still leave this
under the mat.

So, really, that's on you.

Okay, you got to go.

No, Barnaby, listen to me.
We need to talk.

- Not now.
- This can't wait.

- It's not safe.
- I'm pregnant.

What?

I tried to tell you last night.

I tried.

It's yours.

We haven't...

We haven't been together since...

The last time we...

Before last night.
The last time before last night.

I know this is the last thing
you want to hear right now,

and I'm not asking you
for anything.

But I'm keeping this baby.

And I thought you deserve
to know.

Say something.

Barnaby, say something.

[louder] Say something!

Did you ever develop
those photos?

What?

From your camera
the other night at the show?

Do you have them?

What does that have to do
with anything?

Do you have them?

Never finished the roll.

There's no way.

I gotta go.

Barnaby, where are you going?

Barnaby!

[door slams]

- [thud]
- [groan]

[car honks]

[tense music]

What is this?

What the hell is going on?

It's long story, you know.

Is that cake?

So, at some point,
like ten months from now,

there's going to be
a big disaster.

Something real bad

that wipes out all of the plants
and people and things.

Okay, what kind of disaster?

- What?
- What kind of disaster?

Oh, I don't know.

Okay. He doesn't know.
Well, who's responsible for it?

Oh, I don't know.

- [Barnaby] You don't know?
- Hmm mm.

[Barnaby] Why don't you know?

Oh, they don't really
tell us much.

Most days I just sit in my cell
waiting, so...

That isn't very good.

- [Barnaby] I don't believe you.
- Okay.

Okay, that's...

Won't you try to convince me
you're telling me the truth?

Oh, I am.

Okay, well, I don't believe you.

- Okay.
- [Barnaby] Stop saying "Okay."

Okay.

I mean... alright.

Hey, you want to see
my time machine?

[tense music]

[crickets chirping]

How does it work?

Oh, it's just simple, actually.

You just close
this main door here,

and then you take
some of the black rocks

and you put it in
with green rocks.

And then it takes you back
to the moment you left.

but, like, a few seconds
forward, which is nice.

Right, but like time travel,
how does time travel work?

Oh, how does time travel work?
Sure, a great question.

Not really sure.

It's space crystals
or something, I think.

That's what Barry said, so...

- Space crystals? Or something?
- What?

Space crystals or something?

What?

Do you have frustrating this is?

- No.
- You're a time traveler.

You've traveled through time.

But you don't know anything
about anything.

You don't know anything
about the future or time travel.

[sighs]

Sorry, Dad.

Don't call me Dad.

Right, sorry.

Stop apologizing for everything.

Right, sorry. I mean, okay.

Alright.

[mysterious music]

- Let's go back inside.
- That's where my cake is.

[Barnaby] I can't believe
this is happening.

This can't be happening
right now.

I shouldn't have let him in.
He's like a homeless fisherman.

With a dead body in his house.

He showed me his time machine.

I wonder if he's telling
the truth?

We have to stop it.

Okay. Yeah, absolutely.

What are we talking about?

I don't know.

The thing that will wipe
out half of civilization.

We have to figure out
what's gonna make it happen

and not let it happen.

Okay. How do we do that?

I don't know. I have no idea.

But I think I know some people
that can help.

Okay, Fart Squad,
new concept I want to workshop.

How do we save the future?

I don't get it.

- Same.
- We should get coffee.

Oh, yeah, coffee.

No, no coffee.
Listen, focus, okay.

Think of it as like
an interactive experience.

Right?

We're gonna give the viewers
a scenario,

like an end of the world
scenario, right?

With a limited amount
of information, right?

And then they're gonna use
those specifics

to try to figure out
how to save the future.

So, it's kind of like
an escape room?

Or a murder mystery.

Sure. Yeah.
Just like those things.

Oh, that can be fun.

Hey, who's that?

Him? Don't worry about him.
He's industry.

[all] Ooh... Industry.

So, the kid comes back
from the future

and tells you
the world's gonna end?

Yeah, that's the end
of the first act, right.

And I'm trying to brainstorm
what to do next.

Like, I know that they save
the future, right?

They're gonna save the future.

I just don't know how to get
from point A to point B.

Any thoughts?

What if the kid just knows

how to save the future.
Something simple like that?

Can't do it. First act's locked.
The specifics are what they are.

Why?

I don't know, Frankie.

Because I want to make
my life difficult.

Can you just not be part
of the problem?

[softly] Wow.

Well, why is the kid
traveling through time?

What's his purpose?

[softly] Copper. Go ahead.

- Me?
- Yeah.

Okay. Hello.
What was your question?

[woman] Why is he traveling
through time?

Oh, he's on a mission.

What kind of mission?

Oh, a cleanup, mostly.

Do you mean metaphorically,

like, he has to clean up
people's past mistakes?

Oh, um...

No, it's more like bodies,
like dead human bodies.

I don't follow.

- [whispering] Stop.
- Okay.

Okay. Alright.

The way it was pitched to me
was that there's two groups.

There's these bad assassin guys
and then their cleanup crews,

and the assassin guys come back
to take out specific targets.

Well, who are these targets?

Are they like the leaders
of the rebellion force

in the future?

We don't know.
and it doesn't matter, right?

These assassins, they come back
for whatever reason,

and then they take out targets,

and then they leave the bodies

for the cleanup crews
to dispose of.

What do you mean, dispose of?

Oh, he means we cut them up,

or we burn or we bash them,
and we bury them.

Whatever it takes to make sure

people don't ever find
a single piece of them.

You know what I mean?

Does anyone want a cookie?
I have cookies.

I didn't say anything.

Okay, so your protagonist
is like a time janitor.

Time janitor... That's catchy.

Yeah, super catchy.
The catchiest.

How does it help us
save the future?

How do the janitors know
where to pick up the bodies?

Do the assassins call them,
or something?

No, it's in his bag with cards.
Red and green cards.

They're laminated.
That's why they're hard.

And what are the cards for?

Okay, so the green ones
are places to be,

times, places, and people,

and red ones are places
never to be,

times, places and people.

Do the time assassins
get cards too?

Oh, time assassins, that's good.

Is it good?
Does that help us at all?

Do they have cards?

- I...
- I'm worked up.

- Do they have cards?
- No.

Okay, they don't
have cards. Cool.

Okay, where do they get
their information from?

[Copper]
Oh, they just know stuff.

Okay, well, what if you
captured one of them?

That's smart.

Wait, what's smart?
What did I just miss?

She's saying if you know when
and where the time assassins

will drop off their targets,
then theoretically,

you could get there beforehand
and ambush them.

Get your answers directly.

Yeah, exactly. Does that work?

Does it?

Okay, so two days from now
assassin guy's gonna come,

and drop off a body.

[Copper] Right.

[Barnaby] We'll ambush him.
Get our answers directly.

Yeah...

- [Barnaby sighs]
- I'm not sure about that.

What do you mean?

Don't be mad.

I'm just saying,
they tell us never to do this.

It's one of the things they say
never to do.

They say that,

so I just don't want anyone
get mad at me,

or be upset or angry.

Hey, we're a team, right?

- What?
- We are a team.

- We're a team?
- Oh, yeah, absolutely.

I need you.

You need me?

Are you kidding me?

I can't save the future
by myself.

I need you to help me.

- You need me to help you?
- Oh, yeah.

If we're gonna save it,
we gotta save it together.

- Okay.
- Alright?

Yeah, okay. Yeah, together.

We're gonna save,
and we'll do it together.

Oh, yeah.

- As a team.
- Yeah.

- Okay.
- Alright.

- Okay.
- Good.

Okay.

Just two days.

[Copper] What do we do
till then?

[Barnaby]
Nothing. We just lay low.

Stay out of sight.

Can we do more improv?

Want to do more improv?

Oh, yeah, I mean, yeah,
it's just at class...

The lady was...

No, yeah, no.

I don't want to explain
where you come from or anything.

- Yeah.
- Too complicated.

It's really complicated.
I get that.

- Yeah.
- I don't want to be complicated.

[tense music]

Hey, can I ask you something,
or are you asleep already?

No, that's fine. What?

All that paper...

- The stacks of paper.
- [Barnaby] My screenplays?

Oh, okay.

Do you know what that is?

- What?
- You know what that is?

- What?
- The screenplay.

- No.
- It's a story.

- Okay.
- I write stories.

Oh, okay. That's what
the tall stacks are.

- Um hmm.
- [Copper] Okay.

Okay.

Did your parents write stories?

Is that why you did it?

Like, your parents wrote stories

and then you write stories,
is that why?

No, my parents
never wrote stories.

- [Copper] Okay.
- We should get some sleep, okay?

[Copper] Yeah, okay.

- Good night.
- Good night.

- [Copper] Thank you.
- You're welcome.

[Copper] Floor feels good.

Okay.

But like, what do you mean?

Are you mad at me?

- [Barnaby] No, I'm not mad.
- You just seem mad.

I just wanted to add,
it's making sense to me.

You said you wrote stories,
and then...

but your parents didn't,
but they don't care.

I just didn't understand that.
So, I'm sorry.

- Okay.
- [Copper] Okay.

[Barnaby] Listen,
my mom wasn't around.

And my dad was miserable.

- Okay. Yeah.
- [Barnaby] Okay?

- Okay.
- Um, okay.

So, you're just going
to sleep, right?

- [Barnaby] Yeah.
- Okay. Yeah.

I'm gonna ask you something
tomorrow, okay?

- [Barnaby] No.
- It's okay.

You want to sleep.
It's okay to sleep.

I just want to ask you
something tomorrow, okay?

[Barnaby] What?

Just don't get mad at me.
So I'll ask you tomorrow, okay?

- [Barnaby] Just ask me now.
- What?

- [Barnaby] Just asked me now.
- I know you want to sleep.

- [Barnaby] Just ask me now.
- Are you sure?

Okay.

When you say he was miserable,
what do you mean by that?

Okay, listen...

- He wanted to be an actor.
- Right.

- Alright? He went to New York.
- Okay.

He studied with a great teacher.

And he tried to do it.
And he wasn't successful.

- Okay.
- And then he blamed me for it.

- For not being a success.
- Okay.

Because he had
to take care of me.

- Okay.
- Can we go to bed?

- Yeah.
- Alright, great.

Well, like,
that's what parents do, right?

Like, they take care
of their kid. That's it.

- Yeah, that's what they do.
- Okay.

I'm sorry.

[Barnaby sighs]

You don't have to be sorry.

Listen,
there's a class tomorrow.

Another class,
if you want to go.

We can do that.

Yeah.

- Yeah, I would love that.
- Okay.

- Thanks, Dad.
- Don't call me Dad.

Okay, yeah, I get it.

[Beth] Good. Everybody
see what she's doing?

Okay? Now...

Add to the stage picture.

Great. Next.

Alright. Great. Okay.

Where are we?

Copper? Where are we?

[Copper]
Hey, can I ask you something?

- Sure.
- How do you do it?

Do what?

[Copper] Improv.

[Barnaby] I don't really.

[Copper] Okay. It's just
I've seen you do it.

So, it's like, what are
you talking about?

I get on stage a bunch,

but I never really step off
off the backline.

What does that mean,
step off the back line?

[sighs]

In an improv scene,

if you are standing
against the back wall,

and never leave it,

that's never getting off
the back line.

So, you're not really in a scene

till you step off the back line
and play.

Which I have a problem with.

Hi.

- Hello.
- I'm Hannah.

- Okay.
- Barnaby.

Oh, yeah, I've seen you before.

You're on the Team
Diarrhea Dance party?

[mumbling] Yeah, I am.

But I've never seen
you around before.

What's your name?

- [Copper] Copper.
- Are you on any teams?

- [Copper] Teams?
- Yeah, like improv teams.

Oh, no.

[Hannah] Do you come
to shows here a lot?

I saw a show. My dad played it.

[Hannah] I have a show tonight.
Butt Lumps.

It's at eight o'clock.

Hosted by the Orlasi Brothers.
Do you know them?

The Orlasi Brothers...

- No.
- Well, they're great.

The show's got free beer
and water, candy.

You should come.
You both should.

It's very nice of you,
but we have plans.

Okay, well, you can still come
if your plans fall through,

or, like, if you don't want
to be where he is.

I'll be here anyway.
Nice meeting you, Copper.

It's nice to meet you, too.

I left my soup in there.

[whispering]
I'll go get it. Bye.

- Bye.
- [Copper] Bye.

Bye.

- What was that?
- I have no idea.

But we should probably
avoid her going forward,

and the underground too,
just to be safe.

[Copper] Okay, yeah.

We'll just...
Whatever you think, Dad.

We'll just avoid her
and the underground.

[whispers] Sounds good.
Let's do that.

We could do something else,
if you want.

- Whatever you want.
- Can I meet my mother?

Or we can go to that show, yeah.

- [Copper] Okay.
- Yeah.

We should just clean
you up first.

To avoid suspicion.

[Copper] Okay. Clean me up.

- [Copper singing]
- [Barnaby] Hi Zoe, it's Barnaby.

Listen, I'm gonna be busy
for the next few days

working on projects.

Very hush hush.
Can't talk about it.

If you want to get a hold of me,
just text me.

Okay, bye.

[singing continues]

I'll leave some clothes
out here for you

on the chair, okay?

[Copper] Thanks, Dad.

Don't call me Dad.

I'm sorry, I didn't hear
the last part you said.

Just...

- It's cool.
- Okay.

I'm gonna go back in.

♪ I'm getting clean ♪

- [somber music]
- [shower resumes]

[whispers] Alright.

[man's voice] I studied
really hard for it.

I did a lot of research
and I credited all my sources.

[woman] You did,
I know one source,

and the quote you took
from that source

took up nine of the ten pages
of your essay.

Well, it was just
a really long quote,

and I felt that it was
pertinent information

to what the essay was about.

- [woman] You've got me there.
- [cheering and applause]

[applause]

Alright. Don't forget to throw
some money in the bucket.

Hi.

This is gonna sound crazy,
but my whole team bailed on me.

- Will you guys play?
- [both men] No.

Please, it would mean
so much to me.

[both men] No.

Hey, guys,
we're Last Minute Mistakes.

We're gonna do some
improv for you.

All we need is a word, please.

- [man's voice] Time.
- Time, thanks.

[distressed voice]
Honey, you're home late.

Are you cheating on me?

Honey?

Honey, come out
into the bedroom, please.

You're home so late.

Just tell me,
are you cheating on me?

Honey!

Honey, you're coming home
so late.

Are you cheating on me?

- [whispers] Are you...?
- [Hannah] Yes, you.

Come out.

- Okay.
- [Hannah] Yes. A little more.

A little more. It's okay.

Yes. Thank you.

Come have a conversation
with me.

[Copper] Okay.

Now you've just got home
so late.

What's going on?
Are you cheating on me?

- No.
- No? Then what were you doing?

[Copper] Nothing.

[Hannah]
Well, I called your office

and your boss said
you weren't there.

[Copper] What?

[Hannah] Your boss.
You weren't at work.

[Copper] Okay.

[Hannah] You weren't there late.
So where were you?

- [Copper] I'm gonna go back.
- [Hannah] No, wait.

- Were you with Karen?
- What?

Were you with Karen,
your secretary?

I don't know who Karen is.

[whispering] Oh, my God.

- Then where were you?
- [Copper] What?

[Hannah] Where were you
if you weren't cheating on me?

Just... what were you doing?
Just anything?

[Copper whispers]
I don't know what you want.

[Barnaby] He doesn't know
what you're asking him.

Because he's from the future.

[audience laughing]

- What? You're from the future.
- Uh huh.

Why didn't you tell me?

- He told me not to.
- [laughter]

Oh, my God.
I don't know what to say.

I knew there was something
different about you.

Ask him something
about the future.

[Hannah] What's it like
in the future?

It's weird.

No one talks to you
and they all smell like shoes.

[laughter]

Hey, why did you tell Barnaby
and you didn't tell me?

Because I'm his father.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

- It was good, right?
- It was great.

- Yeah.
- It was great.

That was amazing.
Thank you so much.

You saved my life.

- Yeah?
- No big deal.

Yeah, no biggie.

What are you guys doing now?
You want to get a drink?

Is that something we can do?

Yeah, why not?

- Okay.
- Cool.

[woman's voice] I think
that's my favorite show.

- [man] It was a good show.
- [Hannah] Did you like it?

[background chatter]

- [Hannah] Did you enjoy tonight?
- [Copper] Um hmm.

- Is that it?
- What?

Is that all you can say?

- No.
- Okay, what else?

- What?
- What else do you have to say?

- Okay.
- Okay, that's fine.

- You're very sweet.
- Okay.

- [Hannah laughing]
- [Copper] Okay.

Hey Copper,
I'm going to get another beer.

Want to come to the kitchen
with me?

Okay, I'm going to get a beer
with my Dad.

Okay, I'll be here.

- Come back.
- I will.

[chatter continues]

Hey, she likes you.

- What?
- Hannah, she really likes you.

Danny didn't hiss one time...
At all. It was great.

Why?

- Does it matter?
- No.

- What do I do?
- What do you want to do?

I want to try to hold her hand.

- [chuckles] Why?
- Why is it funny?

Why do you want
to hold her hand?

Have you ever held
anyone's hand before?

- Of course.
- I haven't.

Okay.

There's nothing like
it where I come from.

I see people doing it
in the park

all that time,
and I've always wanted to try.

Okay, so try to hold her hand.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

- This is crazy.
- Okay.

- Alright. Come on.
- Okay.

...a crazy few days.
My mom's going nuts.

And I go back in for
producer notes on Wednesday.

That's amazing.

[Kerry] Thank you.

What did we miss?

[Hannah] Kerry sold a script.

Wow. Congratulations.

I don't know
if I introduced myself.

Sorry, I'm Barnaby.

- Oh, Kerry.
- Nice to meet you.

- [Kerry] Nice to meet you, too.
- [Barnaby] I'm also a writer.

[Kerry] Oh, really,
where're you repped?

[Barnaby]
I'm not repped right now.

But my sketch team
has a lot of heat

and I have a meeting
with Vince from the LA Group.

[Kerry]
Oh, that's a great agency.

[Barnaby] I know.
What's your movie about?

Oh, can I give you my pitch?

Please.

Lights, camera, money.

We open on...

[gentle music]

[inaudible]

[Copper] I couldn't do it.

Why not?

[Copper] I was scared, you know.

Like, why would she want
to hold my hand, right?

Like, who am I? I'm nobody.

You know, like...

I don't even have
a real name, so...

I should probably give you
these clothes back, too.

[Barnaby] You don't have to.

It's okay.
I don't want to mess them up.

I'll just give them back to you.
That's okay.

Can I ask you something?

Yeah.

[Copper]
How did you meet my mom?

It's a long story.

[Copper] Were you scared?

I was terrified.

[Copper] How did you do it?

I didn't. She did.

What do you mean?

[Barnaby] We were on an improv
team together,

and we would practice here,

and then one day
she just didn't leave.

[Copper] Didn't leave?

Yeah, everyone left, and then...

She just sat down
at my kitchen table

and started talking to me

like that wasn't the strangest
thing in the whole world.

We talked all night long.

That sounds wonderful.

[Barnaby] It was.
She was. She was great.

[sighs]
Just sweet, easy to talk to.

We spent a lot of time together.

So, what happened?

[sighs] Craziest thing.

I just started wanting
to spend all my time with her.

That's what I knew
it had to end.

Why?

[sighs]

'Cause I didn't come out here
to meet a girl.

I came here to be successful.

We should get some rest.
We have a big day tomorrow.

Save the future.

[Copper] Together?

Yeah, together.

[sighing]

This was a mistake.

I should go.

Okay.

[Barnaby]
What time are you scheduled

to pick up the body?

[Copper] After dark,
like any time after dark.

So, he could show up
any time before then?

Yeah. Any time before then.

Okay.

Oh, what's he gonna look like?

Um...

He'll be messy. Like me.

We're trying to blend in,
you know?

He could be any one
of these guys.

[Barnaby] The homeless guys?

[Copper] Oh yeah,
75% of all homeless people

are really just time travelers
waiting to start their mission.

How do we pick them out?

It won't be hard.

[lid slams]

- [tense music]
- Hey.

[gasping]

[gasping continues]

Hey, what's happening?
Where am I?

Okay, I'm gonna ask
the questions here, asshole.

How do we stop it?

Stop what?

The terrible thing
that wipes out

most of civilization.

I want to know what it is
and how we stop it.

I was just looking
for some food.

Alright, I'm...

I was just hungry.

Hey, I know who you are.

What? No, you can't.

My name is Jay Casey.
I am from Arlington.

I have a family. I got kids.

[crying]
You don't want to do this.

[Copper] That's not true.

Time assassins aren't allowed
to have families.

Just like cleanup crews
can't, so...

It's a lie.

What have you done?

- What?
- Hey, don't talk to him.

Talk to me.

[soft tense music]

Hey, Barnaby...

I don't have to talk to you.

Where I'm from,
you're already dust.

And now, so are you.

That's right. Focus on the guy

that will keep spraying you
in the face with bleach

until you answer his questions.

Now, how do we stop it?

How do we stop it?

[louder] How do we stop it?

- You can't.
- Why not?

Because if you try
and change anything,

you will destroy everything.

What do you mean
destroy everything?

Paradox.

- [Barnaby] What's a paradox?
- [Copper] They're bad.

They made us run drills,
paradox drills, all the time,

in case we ever get stuck
in one.

Explain!

That won't help.

Try me.

[time traveler] Okay.

[sighs]

Time is like a stack of bricks.

Each moment stacked
one on top of the other,

like a wall.

And the wall's
already been built.

Every second in existence
is already perfectly placed.

Past, present, future.

So, if you go back
and you try to change something,

if you try to move a brick,

the whole wall

could come crashing down
around you.

That's why time travel's
so dangerous.

That's why you can't go back
and change anything.

But you travelled through time.
You change things.

[soft chuckle]
It's a calculated risk.

And the laminated cards

tell us where to be
and where not to be.

You stick to the greens.

Changes are minor.

But if you interact with anyone
on a red card,

there's no telling
how much damage could be done.

Bullshit.
You're just trying to scare us.

Well, you should be scared.

Time isn't a toy
to be played with by children.

Changing things is dangerous.

This conversation is dangerous.

Every moment the three of us
spend in the same room together

is a second that time
never could have anticipated.

We could be changing things
right now

and I'd be the only one
who'd know the difference.

Why?

Why what?

[Barnaby] Why would you
be the only one

that would notice a change?

[whispers] His bracelet.

Don't do it. Don't...

If you try,
you could kill us all.

He's an idiot. He's a nothing.

That nothing is my son.

- [buzzing]
- [groaning]

- We have to test it.
- What?

To see
if what he's saying is true

or if he's just trying
to scare us.

- How do we do that?
- Simple.

He said if we interact
with anyone on a red card,

it will cause a paradox, right?

- Right.
- Well, let's do that.

Let's interact with one
and see what happens.

[tense music]

I got his bracelet.

I've got a red card.
What else do we need?

- A phone book.
- [Copper] What if we're wrong?

[Barnaby] We're not wrong.

- [Copper] But what if we are?
- [Barnaby] I'm concentrating.

[Copper] Okay.

- In case.
- For what?

What's it feel like?

It tingles.

Messerly... We got them.

[Copper] What?

Miles Messerly, right?

First name on the card.

It's the only one in this book.
This has got to be him.

What do we do?

Let's give him a call.

We have to be touching.

What?

Oh, well,
the bracelet protects you,

you and anyone you're touching,
skin to skin.

- Does that make sense?
- Yeah.

But everyone else
in the world is at risk, okay.

So, if a paradox happened
and we weren't touching,

the bracelet,
and then skin to skin.

I don't know what could happen,
you know?

I could become a dog,
or fall through the wall,

or just stop existing
altogether.

Like, anything's possible.

- Yeah.
- Skin to skin.

Yeah, okay.

Take my arm.

Okay.

- Okay?
- Yeah.

[Barnaby sighs]

What's with the cake?

Oh, it's a test.

If you call someone
on a red card

and this cake
stops being this cake,

then we know a paradox
has happened,

because we changed something.

Call it the cake test.

It doesn't matter.
It's not a big deal.

Skin to skin.

Skin to skin.

Alright, let's do this.

It's ringing.

Ah... Hello.

Is this Miles Messerly?

The cake's still cake.

Oh, great. How's your day, sir?

- The cake's okay.
- [Barnaby] Hang on a moment.

- Maybe you should talk to him.
- [Copper] What?

Something different may happen
if you talk to him.

- What do I say?
- It doesn't matter.

Okay.

Hi, um...

Why do you think
you're on the red cards?

Cake's still cake.

- We should check the door.
- What?

- What?
- Check the door?

Oh, hold on one second.

So, a paradox can happen
real fast,

or can take a long time,

depending on how much
is changing.

Okay?

Okay, so why the door?

I remember them telling
the assassins once

if you walk through a door

and you end up in a place
you weren't expecting,

that means that paradox
is happening.

Like it's still happening,
you know what I mean?

What do you if that happens?

Find another door.
Go through it.

Keep doing that until you end up

back in the place you started.

If you do that,

then you know you're saved
and the paradox is over.

And then you check to make sure
the cake's okay.

Alright, so we
should check the door?

We're going to check the door.

Okay.

We're going to go for the door
in three.

Okay.

[both] One... two... three...

[Barnaby] It's the same.

It's all the same.

What does that mean?

It means your friend
was full of shit.

Everything's fine.

How long before anyone notices
he's missing?

[Copper] I'm not sure.
Maybe like a week.

The next pick up
probably isn't for a week,

so maybe like a week.

Okay. That's good.

Yeah.

That'll give us plenty of time.

Yeah, absolutely.

For what?
What are we talking about?

To get him to talk.

[buzzing]

Why is Tom calling me right now?

Hey, stay right here.

Hey, what's up?

What?

When?

No, I can't.
I'm in the middle of something.

Okay. Alright, stop. Fine.
I'll be there in 20 minutes.

Yeah, I'll be there
in 20 minutes.

Bye.

Hey, I gotta go.

- What, go?
- Yeah.

Something came up,
so just stay with him.

- Alone?
- Yeah, you'll be fine.

I'll be gone for an hour.

If something happens,
just knock him out again.

Keep doing that till I get back.

You can do that, right?

- Yeah. I can do that.
- Okay.

Wait, what are you doing?

I gotta save my future.

[Debbie] Where have you been?
I've been texting you for hours.

I turned my phone off.
What's going on?

That idiot guy submitted us
to the Crank Network.

Yeah, but why?

[Debbie] I don't know,

but I guess some big gig
opened up at Crank

and he thought we'd be perfect,
so he submitted us.

It doesn't make any sense.

He never even sat down with us.
He cancelled the meetings.

[Debbie] I know,
but I guess he sent over

a bunch of sketches,
they liked what they saw,

because we've got a pitch
meeting tomorrow at noon.

Noon tomorrow?

It's crazy fast.

We'll set up a conference call
tomorrow with Vince

so we can all get
on the same page,

and then he's gonna meet us
over at Crank,

and then we'll all sit down
with the VP of development.

I can't believe
this is happening right now.

That's what we said.

This is it, everything
we've been waiting for.

He sent contracts
for all of us to look at.

Yours on is the box of T-shirts.

[Debbie] Vince wants anything
we can give him,

so sketches, concepts,
character ideas.

This is awesome.

I need the HD files,
I'll cut together a sizzle reel.

Do you have the hard drive?

[Barnaby] I gave it to Zoe
like a month ago.

[Debbie] Who?

[Barnaby] Zoe, she wanted
to fix up her website,

so she has the drive.

Who?

Zoe.

Zoe Katz.

Our writing partner.
Your roommate.

Oh, Zoe Katz...

Our writing partner.

My roommate.

[soft chuckle]

I don't understand the joke.

I don't either, dude.
You tell me.

[Barnaby] Seriously.

I don't get it.
Like, where's Zoe?

I don't know,

maybe she's off riding around
on her unicorn.

[chuckling] Good one.

[tense music]

[whispers] Fart Squad Four.

Are you okay?

[Barnaby] I gotta go.

[door slams]

She's gone.

Zoe Katz, from my sketch group.
She's gone.

What do you mean?

I went to her apartment.

Her own roommate
didn't even know who she was.

It's like she never
even existed.

Do you understand
what that means?

We paradoxed her,
by making that phone call,

we paradoxed Zoe
out of existence.

Why are you out here?

Don't be mad at me.

For what?

What happened?

I'm real sorry.

He said he needed
to use the bathroom...

And I am not an idiot.

I was just gonna, like,
give him a bucket,

but he must have gotten,
like, a hand lose or something,

because when I got close,
he just jumped up.

He was just on me,
and that's what happened.

I'm sorry.

[stutters] Which way did he go?

I'm sorry, what?

He saw him get up.
Which way did he go?

Oh... Forward, I think.

- What does that mean?
- What?

What does that mean,
forward, you think?

He got loose
and went for the time box.

So, forward... in time.

[stutters] Wait. He...

[sighs]
He got into the time box?

Yeah, he's not here anymore.

You saw him
get into the time box?

Yeah, he went right for it.
So, he's back.

Where he started from.
You know what I mean?

That's a problem...

Dad, that's a problem.

- Do you get what I mean?
- Yes.

- Do you?
- Yes.

- Do you know what I mean?
- Yes.

Because now he's telling them
what's going on.

He's telling them what we did.

And they're going
to put it together,

and they're going to send
people here.

You know, bad people.
Worse than him. Lots of them.

So, we can't stay here.

- We've got to go.
- Shut up!

- What?
- Shut up!

- I'm trying to...
- Just shut up! Alright?

Just grab anything that matters.
Let's get out of here.

Okay.

- [Copper] Dad!
- Hurry up!

- [Copper] Wait, Dad.
- [Barnaby] Come on, move!

- [Copper] Dad, I'm going, wait.
- [Barnaby] Come on!

- [Copper] What do we do?
- I don't know.

- [Copper] Where do we go?
- [shouts] I don't know.

- Why are you yelling at me?
- I'm not yelling at you.

Hey.

Do you have change for the bus?

Change for the bus?

I was just telling my dad,
he's got a bunch of change.

- [thump]
- [Copper] Run! Run! Run!

Go! Go! Go!

[engine starts]

[breathing heavily]

- You think he followed us?
- [Copper] I don't know.

- Maybe when we doubled back?
- [Copper] I don't know.

Okay, I think we lost him.

- Lost who?
- [both men gasping]

Rose. How do you
keep getting in here?

The key. Same key.

Okay. You can't be here.

We need to talk.

- Now's not a good time.
- [Rose] It's never a good time.

- Okay, but not now.
- I'm leaving.

Okay, great.
I'll text you tomorrow.

No, I mean,
I'm leaving for good.

What?

My aunt Alice
has a place in Philadelphia,

and she told me
to stay with her until...

Until the baby is born.

I'm sorry, what did you say?

[Barnaby] Copper, bathroom.

- But she said baby.
- You know, paradox.

Okay, wait in the bathroom now.

Go.

Okay.

[door closes]

When would you go?

[sighs]

You're not going to try
to stop me?

I don't know
what I'm supposed to say.

Say what you feel.

It's complicated.

No...

It's not.

It is incredibly simple.

Do you love me?

Rose...

[Rose] Do you love me?

Yes, of course I love you.

[Rose] Then show me, Barnaby,
for once in your life.

Make an effort. Ask me to stay.

But you won't.

I am so stupid.

I should go.

I keep waiting for this moment.

I must be crazy.

I keep telling myself
that someday you'll see.

See what?

Goodbye, Barnaby.

Was that my mom?

You have to go.

What?

This is too dangerous.

Everything that we're doing
is crazy,

and the more time
we spend together

the more crazy stuff can happen.

But we've got to save the future
so I can't go anywhere.

How are we doing that?
Because I don't know anymore.

I don't know,
but we can figure it out.

Like, we can capture
another time assassin,

or ask one of your friends who
have all the ideas, whatever.

One doesn't exist anymore.

Do you remember that?
She's gone.

Why are you yelling at me?

You have to go.

Okay, I get what you're saying.

It's just, we're a team,
so we've got to stay together.

[Barnaby] We're not a team.

We're idiots that don't know
what they're doing.

We're a dumpster fire.

This was a mistake. I'm sorry.

Okay, that's fine.
Just don't make me go, okay?

Just don't make me go.
Don't tell me to go.

You've got to go.

[Copper] Okay, just don't ask
me to go.

Copper, I don't have a choice.

You always have a choice,
so don't say that.

Copper...

- Copper.
- It's not my name.

You have to go. You have to go!

Why is it always so easy
for you to get rid of me?

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

[whispers] Okay.

[scraping]
- [soft thud]

[running steps]

[running steps]

[shouts]

[shouts]

[shouts]

[grunts]

[Copper] Hey, Dad.

Are you mad at me?

They're gonna figure out
what happened here.

It's gonna take them some time,
but they'll figure it out.

And then people will be coming.

You know what I mean
when I say that?

Like, bad people
are coming here.

- So...
- Grab anything that matters.

[door slams]

You're Barnaby's friend, right?

I'm sorry, what?

You were with Barnaby
last night in his apartment.

Oh, yeah, that was me.
I was there.

I didn't mean to scare you.

[Copper] Oh, it's okay.
I'm scared all the time.

So, it's normal for me.

How are you?

[Rose] I'm fine.
Are you bleeding?

Probably, yeah.

[Rose] What happened?

Oh, I got into a big fight.
In a big brawl with people.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I got away this time,
so it's all good.

You look really bad.
Let me just...

Come to the couch.
I'll clean you up.

Let me take care of it. Come on.

Come on, I'll clean you up.

- You?
- [Rose] Yeah.

My house stuff.
You sit right there.

[Copper] Okay.

[Rose] Alright, now.

Okay, so let's just take off
your coat,

so that I can clean you.

Okay.

[Rose] Can you take it off?

- [Copper mumbles]
- [Rose] Take off your jacket.

It's also a little bit big
for you,

so next time get a smaller one.

- It'll fit you better.
- [Copper] Okay.

[Rose] Alright.

- This may sting.
- What?

- [Rose] It may sting.
- Okay.

- [Rose] Are you ready?
- Um hmm.

[Rose] Okay.

A bit too much?

It's good.

[softly] Okay.

Um...

How far along are you?

Is it okay to ask that?

- [Rose] It's six weeks.
- Um hmm.

What do you think
you're gonna do?

[Rose] Well, I've been looking
at a lot of adoption agencies,

and they have some
really great programs, so...

[Copper] So, you don't
want to keep it?

I want to do what's best
for everybody.

That makes sense.

- I'm sorry to ask about it.
- [Rose] It's okay.

I was adopted.

- You were?
- [Copper] Um hmm.

I know what it feels like,
if you are wondering.

You can tell me.

It makes you feel small.

Like nothing you do matters,
you know?

Like, these people made you,
then toss you in the garbage.

Everyone else has parents
and a family,

but not me.

I don't have anything.

They didn't leave a name,
you know?

So, I mean, who am I, right?

Just makes you feel like less.

That nothing you do
really matters, you know?

You're wrong.

- [Copper] What do you mean?
- It's so wrong.

If I give up my child,

it's because
I want something more for them.

If I give up my child,

that's giving them a chance
to have things

that I can never give to them.

Um hmm, so you love your son?

Son? Did Barnaby say that?

No, I was just guessing.

It was like a girl or boy,
I thought boy was nailing it.

[Rose] Well, it's too early
to know the sex,

but I have a feeling.

But you love your child?

[Rose] Do I love my child?

With everything that I am.

[sighs]

And I'm sure
that your mom does, too.

[tense music]

Okay, I should go.

It'd been great, but thank you.

Thank you for my face. Um...

Okay, I've got to go.

Hey, I'm sorry,
I know it's too early,

but any thought to what
you might name the baby?

Her name is Everly Rose Dorset.

Okay.

[Vince] 2002, I came
in the Hollywood Hills.

I'd just signed Andrew Shen

to a multi-picture deal
for the rich and hot franchise.

I'm talking about
I made $3 million that day.

And you know how I felt? Good.

Just like you guys, okay?

- How are you guys feeling?
- [man] I feel good.

- [Vince] How are you feeling?
- [2nd man] Good.

- [Debbie] Good.
- [Vince] Great. Barnaby?

Barnaby!

What was the question?

How are we feeling?

Good.

It'll just be another minute.
Can I get you guys anything?

Water? Juice?

- [Vince] We're good. Thanks.
- [lady] Okay, great.

[Vince] Guys, this is it.

- You're going to slay it.
- [cellphone buzzing]

Hey, Barnaby,
could you turn that shit off?

Everybody, take out
your cell phones right now.

Turn them off now.

[buzzing continues]

- Hello?
- I'm going to do something.

- Copper!
- Yeah, like 20 minutes.

What do you mean 20 minutes?
For what?

I don't know,
but it'll be something.

[Vince] Barnaby!

Where are you?

- I saw mom.
- [Barnaby] What?

She was taking out photos
of the underground.

She is wonderful.

Listen, whatever it is
you think you're going to do,

do not do it.
It is too dangerous.

- [Vince] Hey, Barnaby?
- Just one second.

I know what happens
if I don't do anything.

And I know it's bad.

- But you can make it worse.
- Or better.

Okay, listen, as your father,

I'm telling you
not to do anything, okay?

I thinking about
your father, actually.

About how you said
he was miserable,

because he never made it.

And I thought about mom
and how great she is.

And how wonderful it would be

to have someone in your life
like that.

And I was thinking,

maybe your dad wasn't miserable
because he never made it.

Maybe he was miserable

because he never realized
he had.

What are you going to do?

The only thing I can do.
Make a choice and play.

Copper,
what are you going to do?

I'm going to paradox everything.

- They're ready for you guys.
- Thank you so much.

- Follow me back.
- Right this way. Okay.

Hey, Barnaby, let's go.

The future's waiting.

What am I doing here?

[tense music]

[door slams]

[thud]

[thud]

[thud]

[thud]

[thud]

[thud]

Come on, come on!

No!

Rose, it's Barnaby, listen...

You got to call me back.
It's an emergency.

Dammit!

[beeping]

[man 1] Hey, guy!

What the hell's
going on here, man?

Oh, you are a red card.
I get it.

You'll see.
It'll only take a minute.

Rose, listen, if you're still
at the underground, stay there.

I'm coming to you.

This is not gonna make
any sense at all,

but we have to be touching,
or otherwise

you could be wiped out
of existence.

Whatever... I'm coming to you.

[man 1] Who the hell are you?

What the hell is this?

[shouts] Who the hell are you?

What the hell is this?

Hey, you turn around
and look at me!

I want answers.

What the hell's going on?

Who are you?

I'm Everly Rose Dorset.

[ominous note, then silence]

I heard them tell
the assassins once

if you walk through a door,

and you end up in a place
you weren't expecting,

that means
a paradox is happening.

Like, it's still happening.
You know what I mean?

What do you do if that happens?

[Copper] Find another door.
Go through it.

Keep doing that
until you end up back

in the place you started.
If you do that,

then you know you're safe
and the paradox is over.

[Tom] Hey, man.
What are you doing in my house?

What?

What are you doing in my house?

[Rose] Do you love me?

Rose.

[Rose] Do you love me?

I mean, I get on stage a bunch,

but I never really step off
the back line.

Yes, of course I love you.

Then show me.

Gas leak?

What?

There's a gas leak
in this house.

We got to get out of here.

What are you talking about?

[Barnaby]
I'm with the gas authority.

You gotta get out of here.
It's dangerous.

[Tom] This house does
not even run on gas.

This house used to run on gas.

There's a line underneath
that's leaking.

- Do you want to live?
- [Tom] Yes.

Okay, open those windows.
I gotta open the door.

- [Tom] Okay.
- Open those windows. Go!

- [ominous note]
- [gasps]

[tense music]

[Tom] Hey!

- Hey.
- You're new to the building?

Yeah, I just moved in.

[man] Oh, cool. What unit?

[Barnaby] Four.

I'm in four.

Great. I'll see you, then.

[ominous note]

[breathing heavily]

- Delivery for Micah.
- Who?

Wrong house.

[ominous note]

Same place.

- Second delivery for Micah.
- Who?

[ominous note]

[tense music]

[sighs] What?

Okay.

[ominous music]

[shouting] I'm pregnant.

[door slams]

You won't try to stop me?

[breathing heavily]

[door slams]

Rose.

Rose!

[tense music]

Rose!

[shouting] Rose!

Barnaby...

What are you doing here?

Showing you.

Stay.

I want you to stay.

I don't know
what's gonna happen tomorrow.

I don't care,
as long as it's with you.

It's about time.

But we need to find cover.

It'll be dark soon,
and the lobster people,

they'll be looking for us.

What?

[Rose] We have to go.

[Barnaby] What? Wait, what?
