Previously on Charlie J.

On a parallel universe.

We're building another facility.

We have found a new world with unlimited resources.

This is Cork's report.

If that link becomes permanent, this universe just disappears.

Your people poisoned your own world and now you're going to steal ours.

You don't even think she's a terrorist.

I don't know.

I have bequeathed my interest in X -Core to my son.

I'm the new emperor.

That's gone. Our goal is the same. If the link is reopened, I will blow it up.

We need the resources from Gamma. If the link doesn't go up, sir, you'll lose

the company.

I am my father's son, and your share is just this.

What's wrong?

It's the soul.

No.

I'm good.

I'm good.

I've just been doing a lot of things recently that are a little bit hard on

body.

And you have no more battles left to fight.

Have you given any thought as to what you're going to do?

What I'm going to do?

I've always been a private investigator.

And now?

I don't know. I guess I could pretty much do anything.

Maybe I'll, sir.

Compare this with me. Oh, yeah.

Well, if that doesn't work out, you may need a place to stay.

Since they're clearly going to evict you from your life.

It's a key.

To my place.

all from another universe.

That's what I've been trying to tell you.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah.

I've been having these dreams.

You ever feel like you're forgetting something?

I feel like I'm forgetting something.

What am I forgetting?

What do you want to do?

Look, Charlie, don't get me wrong.

Charlie, what the hell is that?

It's not over.

Right now, I need you to believe your eyes.

Oh my God.

You did it.

A brave new era is about to begin.

There'll be water, power, and resources for everyone.

You did it.

Still looking for a way out, Charlie?

Where am I?

Just to let you know, the bounty hunter you sicked on Charlie J, I'm changing

our contract.

So if I'm you, I'm learning how to play the fiddle.

I

can't

get anybody.

Not at all. Think they forgot about us?

Maybe they don't know. There's water sparks in the desert and you see in

nose. We're not lifting a finger or putting a knob on it. Somebody gives us

direct order. Well, somebody somewhere has to know something.

What now, Charlie?

Help me, Carl.

Haven't I always?

I have to figure out.

What I'm forgetting.

I don't know where I am.

What did you say?

Oh, one boxer. Wacked out psychopath.

Promises to put the link in mothballs. And you take him at his word, Carl.

Charlie, good job.

It was the best plan I could come up with at the time. My options were a

bit limited, Carl.

Okay, so... What exactly did you see?

He threw the switch.

The link's up in Alphaverse.

My home facility in Gamma's going online next. And then here.

That's what they did the first time.

What's wrong with him?

He disappeared in front of me. That's what's wrong.

Something else is happening. I'm not sure what.

That shift -in's like going 15 rounds.

Where? The facility.

Yeah.

Think about it. The only choice.

What are you going to do? Tell people Vexcor is going to destroy the world?

How's that going to go over?

From my experience, not very well.

What are you talking about?

I need you to trust me.

Carl, I need you to do something else.

Go to the VexCore tower.

There are failsafe codes.

We can use them to tear down the facility.

What am I supposed to do? Just walk into VexCore?

Find Julius Galt.

Make him give them to you.

Here.

Use this if you have to.

Do you have any idea then what I was going to do?

No.

What about now?

Do you remember?

No, I can't remember.

It's all jumbled.

How long have I been here?

There's no other way, Charlie.

There has to be.

Whatever it is you're going to do, it's wrong.

You can't do it.

I already did it.

I always will.

subsiding, though authorities cannot account for the disappearing water.

Meanwhile, mysterious flooding has Cape Flats residents desperately building

rafts. The South African Defense Forces hope to fly in lightweight boats.

More news at 11.

How are you feeling?

Yeah, better.

I should have told you what's going to happen to this world.

It's fine.

No, it's not.

How could I even have grabbed it?

You're talking about... It's like seeing a burning bush.

Anyway, I'd like to know how the three of us are going to get into that

building.

It's not going to be three of us.

We need to fight this thing on two fronts. I'm going to try and get at the

facility in Gamma.

That way we double our chances.

Gamma. Yes.

My home.

The place I'm never going back to.

I know.

No, you didn't know.

No. You never knew.

You never knew. How could you?

The world you're trying so desperately to save, the world I'm helping you to

save, is hell for me, Charlie.

Help! I'm helping you to save Al, Charlie.

Something... I'm forgetting.

I'm trying to... piece it all together.

I don't know.

If I could have taken you back,

I would have.

Well, that was never my part in all this.

When you see it, you'll understand.

I'm gonna die here anyway.

Maybe it's worth it.

Good luck

I'd

give anything to trade places with him or you

What do you want for Christmas, Charlie?

You want it all to go back?

Back to how it was before?

Before all this started?

In the beginning, there was...

Why don't you piss off?

It's funny, you know.

What is?

That there are like 3 ,000 more species alive in Gamma than in Beta.

And compared to Alpha, well... Why are you telling me this?

I just think it's funny.

This isn't Gamma.

No.

But it is funny.

That's your first view of the Gammaverse.

It's a big old ugly building.

Now, let there be light.

of what he's going to do. Tell me something, Galt.

Krog's memo.

You had it? You read it?

You knew what would happen?

No.

Well, not first.

How could you not?

Not everyone is a truth seeker.

Business relies on calculated risks.

Not chasing after every goddamn fairy tale.

This is genocide, Galt.

No.

No, this is worse.

This is the greatest atrocity ever contemplated.

Oh,

Lubitsky.

You remind me of someone who worked in VexCorp, the Gamma Division.

He once asked me, If I thought that what we were doing was moral,

I didn't even understand the question.

A business is there to expand, to source new resources.

Why do you think Vexcor grew so much in the last couple of years?

How do you live in a terrifying world, Mr. Galt?

How do you sleep at night?

No, because you're going to give me the failsafe code so I can stop this thing.

The failsafe code?

The failsafe code? Who the hell told you there were failsafe codes?

Because there aren't any.

You can take the easy way out.

That's what you're good at.

Are

you

from head office?

Do you know anything?

You three run all this.

No, we're just maintenance.

There are only three left who can rebuild the link.

Find the three.

You're Erding.

Skaldeman.

Verdandi.

What do you want from us?

I need you to turn it on.

We had a deal.

But I was looking at everything the wrong way.

My father.

Total jackass.

But he had my number.

You can't escape your destiny.

Point being, I never had a choice.

But you do.

Still looking for a way out, Charlie.

You're just going to stay there, kneeling.

Fine.

Be that way.

Here comes the wind -up!

What do you want, Charlie?

You want to save the world?

It's my world.

You just live in it.

You don't even know what you want.

Never trust a man who won't tell you his reasons.

Why don't you tell it to your daddy, you psychotic little bitch?

You know what?

When this is all over, and it's gonna be over soon, why don't you ask him why?

You're the only one who could shift.

You never did figure that out, did you?

has left the building.

Did any of you ever hear of Elliot Krug?

Sure. It was nuts.

You need to read his memo.

There's something you need to know.

What? We all just disappear?

Well, there was something about the map that didn't track.

Well, there was.

They were going to let us die. No, come on. What company do you work for?

Our parents are dead. You've got one sister you hate. We're not going to

on you. Just wake up.

It's us against them.

What do we do?

Do we blow it up?

I know.

You guys are done enough.

The next part's mine.

Look, one world's gonna end.

It's not gonna be this one.

And it's not gonna be mine.

Got something we can see.

Water flows down 45 % in the last three minutes.

Was there a swim in the curvature?

Yep.

Looks like someone just brought the link online in beta.

Supposedly we're in a fail -safe coat either.

No, and I think I know what she's doing.

Rita!

Rita!

Don't do this!

They're never going to stop.

They just keep coming back.

This will end it.

It's like a reflector, okay? It'll stop the energy and feed it back on itself.

And what about them?

It's them or us.

It's not for you to choose.

No one else can.

It is all led up to this.

This is why I'm here.

I have always been here.

will never be able to live with yourself.

I know.

It's up to you now, Charlie.

How's it up to me?

You have to remember.

Think.

I can't shut it down.

Where did he come from? He shifted in. Just like Owen, he can travel too.

There may be a way we can stop this.

Explain how.

Fact.

The link is basically a blunt instrument.

Three sheets of paper.

Three universes.

The link punches through like this.

The middle universe is violently punctured at both ends.

And after a few minutes, like a soap bubble, it pops.

You're remembering.

But what O -1 does, and you too, is something much more elegant.

Somehow you fold space around you so that the two universes touch.

Then you step across.

I don't understand.

You don't have to. It doesn't matter. Here's the important part.

Step into the link and shift.

Inside the link, Beta Gamma and Alpha are already connected. Where am I

to?

You go under.

Could be quantum space.

Don't give him quantum space. It's just going to scare him.

It's like you pop the hood on the universe, then you're poking around the

engine. That's a stupid metaphor.

No. I get it.

From within the link, you can pull the three universes together at a single

point, and they'll stay that way.

Joined.

Forever. There'll be a passageway between the universes.

He remembers.

We did not expect.

He remembers.

How the hell do I get back?

I don't, do I?

It's kind of like you jump into a hole and pull the hole in after you. Yeah,

that sounds like a lot of fun.

Link spaces, well, it's not like anything we can perceive, really.

Is it maybe disorienting, difficult to focus?

You might find it difficult.

Difficult to remember.

Time moves differently.

Try to focus.

Focus on familiar places and people.

There really is no other way. There really is no other way.

I'll be fine.

You won't be fine.

You'll be gone.

You'll be gone.

I'm there right now.

Right?

And I'm still here.

And I remember.

Hold on to that for me.

We did not expect.

There may be a way you can stop it. Pull the three universes together.

You're just going to stay there. And I'll stay that way forever.

It's up to you now, Charlie.

What's wrong?

The way it's supposed to happen.

The accused stands in reckless violation of his responsibilities.

What is this?

I don't have time for this.

Well, you're going to have to make time.

Let's get this dispensed with.

What's going on?

Is this real?

Does it really matter?

He just stood by and let it happen.

Not to mention all the civilians he has murdered.

No.

You're just trying to distract me. Lies.

He doesn't need me to distract him.

He's been distracted his whole life.

And managed to amass a pretty impressive body count along the way.

Some hero.

Who the hell are you to judge me?

Objection.

I've played my part.

Why isn't he playing his? I had no choice.

It's time to pay the bill.

What are you talking about? What bill?

If he doesn't end it, we'll never get off this wheel.

Why won't he end it?

I've heard enough.

He's guilty.

Why don't you go ahead and pull the trigger?

Why don't you go ahead and pull the trigger?

Come on! Pull the trigger!

Do it.

I can't. I can't. Only you can pull the trigger. It has to be you. You have to

be the one.

Do it, then.

What are you waiting for?

It's up to you now, Charlie.

I think you had to be here.

You always had to be here.

You said none of us has a choice.

I don't think you really believe that.

You could have killed me in Gamma, but you didn't.

You chose not to.

I can't do this without you.

Looks like he did it.

Looks that way.

Does that mean we can... We can just go anywhere?

We can.

I can go home.

Charlie told me once.

Everybody breaks.

But he never did.

Not once.

Will you be alright?

It's just the beginning, you know.

I know.

With everything joined, all bets are off.

They'll be coming.

I'll be ready.

Now available.

I hope your watch lake stays special.
