Ever wish you could live your last week all over again?

Well, my name's Frank V. Parker, and I do it all the time.

I work for a secret government project experimenting in time travel.

When things really get screwed up, I'm the guinea pig they send back to take

care of it.

Catch is, I can only go back seven days.

We continue to hold the government of Iran responsible for the safety and for

the early release of the American hospital.

Hey, you lost the star, baby.

I know.

My kid didn't. But I am.

You know.

Well, the star's here now.

The night has just begun.

I need you to help me tonight.

I want my little girl. I need you.

Hello? Oh.

Tara, honey, it's Mommy.

Hi, Mommy. Are you going to come home and read me a story?

Oh, I'm so sorry, sweet pie.

But my friend just got here.

I'll give you a kiss when I get home.

You are my little star, sweet pie.

You know that?

I love you. I love you, too.

Go, baby.

Bye, sweet pie.

Just hand it to the guy.

He'll give you the money, and then you come back.

Why can't you do it?

You know why.

I got a couple strikes against me.

Nobody's watching you.

What are you doing?

I don't feel right about this.

Just go.

Come on.

I've got a kid to think about.

Light must be... Not

there.

God, please let me get home to my little girl.

And I swear, I swear I'll never date another loser.

Ma 'am, can you hear me?

Ma 'am, can you hear me?

I've got to get to my little girl. Just hang on.

You haven't been the best mother.

Things are going to be different now.

I swear.

Ma 'am.

Ma 'am.

Ma 'am.

Earlier today, both presidential candidates greeted supporters

at rallies held on their behalf.

Mr.

Parker, you're needed in the briefing room.

Here we are horsing around in the backyard.

Oh, what a sweet face.

Yeah, I definitely see the family resemblance.

He's the best friend a man ever had.

What's he going on about George W. again?

His dog just died.

Ronnie was a real champ.

So sweet.

And that dog loved everybody.

Mm -hmm. What'd he die of?

Well, he was getting old and a little bit hard of hearing.

And he liked to sleep under the car.

So you ran over him?

All right, people, it's been confirmed. There were over 13 tons of nuclear waste

spilled when the train derailed near Boulder City.

FEMA tried, but they couldn't contain the damage.

So the Colorado River is contaminated.

Thousands of people may already be affected.

Well, they're going to die. So we're backstepping?

That's the panel's ruling.

Great, Parker.

You can warn me about Ronnie. I would do that because of all the favors you've

done for me. Oh, come on now, Parker. We're talking about one of God's

little creatures here. Look at that face.

Are you massaging his butt?

Guys, as much as I'm fascinated by this little psychodrama, I've been doing some

projections, and I'm afraid we can't backstep right now.

Why, you little bastard.

What about Ronnie?

What? Nate, Nate, stop it. Have you lost your mind?

Mr. Ramsey.

It's a dog, for God's sake, that's all.

I'm sorry, sir.

That's a level out with solar flare. There's been over a dozen this week.

So what, I get a better light show this time out?

You don't understand that...

These solar flares are going to warp space -time on a quantum level.

You want to try that in English?

Okay, here goes, kids.

Let's pretend the space -time continuum is like a super -smooth, beautiful

highway, right?

And here comes the sphere. It's riding along. Everything's hunky -dory. When

of a sudden, this huge speed bump pops up out of nowhere.

Bam! Then you hit it. There goes your tranny. And then you've got a flat tire,

and you're swerving. You're going into oncoming traffic. Oh, my God! Here we

You know what's the bad news? You get the idea.

Believe me, there's no oncoming traffic in a backstep. Not yet, maybe. But these

anomalies could alter your time of arrival in the past or jolt the sphere

new pathway altogether.

How likely is that? I don't know. This is all unknown territory for us.

Well, given these new variables, the panel will want to review its decision.

What? Look, I never know what's going to happen in a backstep anyway, so how is

this so different? I'm the guy in the driver's seat, and I'm willing to take

risk. Besides, I've got to see a guy about a dog.

You really don't have to backstep right now, do you? Hey, it's my job.

You're not doing this for Ramsay, are you? You're risking a dangerous backstep

to save his dog.

Are you nuts?

Look, I go back and I do these missions. The cool thing about this job is that

people I don't know, people I don't like, even the dog, get a second chance.

Everybody gets a shot at making things turn out better for themselves.

You know, sometimes you surprise me, Mr. Parker.

Gets you all hot, huh?

And then sometimes you don't. Yeah, I'm deep into Aristotle right now.

Uh -huh.

The back step will put you outside Boulder City right before the train

derailment. How much time?

I'll just hope Ballard's projections about those solar flares affecting your

time of arrival are correct.

Reactor at

80%. Really watch the needles this time, Frank. It could get gnarly out there.

Don't worry.

I had the boys put an extra coat of sex wax on this baby.

Reactor at 90%. Godspeed, Frank.

100%. Aim, James.

Call the Pentagon and have it stopped right away.

Oh, good.

And, uh, tell Ballard he was right about the, uh, oncoming traffic.

What oncoming traffic?

Uh -oh.

Uh -oh what?

I, uh, think I hit a pedestrian.

What do you mean, what do I mean? I think the spear hit a pedestrian.

It's a girl. Looks like she's in her 20s.

She's got a pulse. She appears to be unconscious.

Is she alive?

Frank?

Take that back.

Hang on a second.

Are you okay?

Miss, I think she's okay.

You keep away from me.

Relax. What's that?

No alien is going to abduct Mary Ann Evans.

It's like a B .B. Aparna.

I'm not an alien, honest.

Ow.

Frank? Look, I swear I'm not an alien. I'm with the U .S. government. Name's

Frank Parker.

So what's that thing?

That's... That's, uh, experimental.

I think we should get you a doctor.

I'm fine.

Where's my car?

I was driving.

I think I hit a tree.

Damn it.

It was right here. Where is it?

Hey, where are you going?

Home. I gotta get home.

Be my kid.

My sitter must be absolutely freaky.

Uh, can you just, uh...

Wait up!

We still can't get any kind of a signal from Parker's cell phone.

I'll get a retrieval team out there. If we've got a situation with a citizen, I

want it contained.

Yes, sir, that's right.

Thank you very much, Chief.

Mrs. Claypool!

Mrs. Claypool!

Where's Mrs. Claypool?

There's no Mrs. Claypool here.

Where's my little girl? Where's Tara?

Lady, I've got no idea what you're talking about.

Where's Tara? This is my house. Look, I have lived here for ten years. Now you

bother me anymore, I'm calling the cops.

Who's Mrs. Claypool?

She's my babysitter.

Sure you got the right place?

Well, I ought to know my own house.

What happened in the woods?

You might have a concussion.

I'm telling you, I live here.

But that's not Tara's swing set. And the fence? Not right.

Not right? What is happening to me? Where's my little girl?

We'll figure this out. Now, what's the last thing you remember doing?

Dancing. Okay, where?

At the Wild Coyote.

It's a bar.

I met Tommy there.

Your boyfriend?

Not anymore.

Okay, well, that's where we start.

Come on. I hope it's still there.

Me too, because I could sure use a drink.

You and me both.

Let's get you cleaned up first, huh?

Well, it sure as hell just didn't disappear into thin air. Yeah.

I'll start checking the local hospitals and jail.

And the bars, knowing Parker.

What did Parker do to the damn

thing now?

Go ahead.

I'd say we got ourselves a situation here.

We set?

Yeah. Paid the guy off the armor.

Back door will be unlocked.

My girl will drive lookout.

And I've already got a buyer lined up.

Sweet. You sure she's up for it?

Oh, yeah.

She'll do anything for the king here.

You want to watch it?

Is this the place?

I don't know.

I mean, I think so.

But it's not the same.

Hey, guys.

What in the hell is happening to me?

Everything's changed.

Maybe I'm going crazy.

Hey.

Hey. You all right?

I'm fine.

Do I know you?

No, I don't think so.

You look familiar.

Can we get a couple of beers?

Sure. Thanks.

Well, you're not going crazy.

I knew I was here.

But still.

It's not just the place that's different.

The clothes are different. The cars outside.

Everything.

I mean, how long was I out of it for?

Marianne?

What?

This picture was taken over 20 years ago.

How can that be?

Wait, I remember what happened.

There was a light.

It was the brightest light.

And I was walking toward it.

Down a kind of a tunnel.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was the kind of light that they talk about. The one that...

That you see when you... Oh, my God.

I died?

I was dead?

20 years ago.

And you brought me back.

You and that machine of yours.

Here we go.

Better make that a picture.

Yeah, and a shot of tequila.

Bottle.

Okay.

All personnel, we have a level 10 condition.

All personnel, we have a level 10 condition.

What the hell is it, John?

It's exhibiting some of the characteristics of a black hole.

A black hole?

It's an intense gravity well. It's bending space around it, but there's

more to it than just that.

Well, whatever it is, it's getting bigger.

It's feeding on everything around it. Matter, light, energy.

That mother really sucks.

Oh, great.

Activate the secondary generators.

Yes, sir.

Emergency power off. Now in effect.

Emergency power off. Now in effect.

How fast is it growing?

Well, if we don't figure out something really soon, it's going to hoover the

sphere, this room, the whole planet. I suppose eventually...

Everything.

Where does it go?

Who knows?

Could be the other side of the universe.

Another dimension.

Could be where my socks go when they get lost in the dryer.

John, could we create some sort of a magnetic field to contain it? If we use

energy on it, it's only going to get bigger and the effects are going to get

stronger. So how do we get rid of it? Could we use the sphere to send it back

its point of origin?

Even if we could power up before the fuel core had time to regenerate, we'd

still need Frank to retrace the back step precisely, and we all know what the

odds of that are. Have we heard from Ramsey about Parker's whereabouts?

His team is searching, but there's no sign of him yet.

Where the hell are you, Frank?

Even the weather is different than before.

Why me?

I mean, of all the people to bring back?

I guess someone got their signals crossed.

Hey, you're not like some kind of angel or something, are you? Me? No.

Believe me, I cheated solitaire.

Tell me.

How much do you remember, you know, about the experience?

Not much.

A feeling?

Two feelings, really.

One was like waking up on Christmas, you know?

Running to the den to see what was under the tree.

And then there was this other feeling, like I just wasn't ready to go.

I gotta find my little girl.

I mean...

I don't know why I'm back here.

But I know why I didn't make it to where I was headed. Because of Tara.

I just... I let her down.

And now I've got a second chance.

You know, as soon as I find her.

Sir, look at this. There are reports of bizarre weather conditions all over the

world. Violent thunderstorms. A hurricane off the coast of Ireland.

We even have... earthquake activity in Pennsylvania of all places.

I'm not surprised. With that thing, the entire balance of nature is out of

whack, and it's only going to get worse. But I think I found the culprit.

See that? That right there? That's what we call a negative discrepancy, meaning

something is missing from whatever's on the other side of that funnel.

It could be a single neutrino or an antipositron, for all we know. But until

get it back there, all hell's going to break loose.

And you think what's missing is something that Frank brought back with

Better not be one of those time gremlins.

Actually, he did mention a woman.

Son of a bitch is finally checking in.

Parker?

Ah, I love the sound of a loudmouth first thing in the morning.

Frank, we've got a problem here.

Me too, and I guarantee you mine's gonna blow you away.

Right, not as much as ours.

You know that girl I told you about?

Well, uh... She's dead.

I mean, she died, like, 20 years ago.

I brought her back to life. Well, the sphere did. I don't know. It's very

confusing. Well, that's one dimension I didn't quite think of. Frank, listen to

me. John thinks that her presence here may have caused a cataclysmic imbalance

in the space -time continuum.

Ah, which means?

Try total annihilation of the universe.

Far from here, she might know where my little girl is.

Come on, can we go now? We might not need your friend's help after all.

We've still got a little time, right, Ballard?

We're not talking right away, but it's sure not going to be long.

Look, Parker, there's a retrieval team in your area. I'm ordering you to get

your ass back here now.

Yeah, I'll call you back.

Parker! Oh, Nate.

You really got to watch out for little Ronnie.

Ronnie? What, my dog?

What about Ronnie?

Well... You like sleeping under the car, right?

Right. See ya.

Let's go find your daughter.

What's wrong?

Who are they?

My babysitters.

Come on.

I'm going to check over here. All right.

Attention, everyone.

Tonight's bridge tournament has been moved from the game room to the

due to the number of participants.

You should stay out of sight. It would be a really bad time for her to have a

heart attack.

Oh, right.

Excuse me, Mrs. Claypool?

Yes?

I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about Tara Evans.

You're a police officer, aren't you?

Not exactly.

You don't have to soft -talk me.

I was afraid this day would come.

Tara's been heading for trouble for years.

In a lot of foster homes and... Lord Almighty!

Uh... You wouldn't happen to have.

An address or something, would you?

You know what I thought I just saw?

Uh, more green jello?

No.

It's not possible.

Must be the memories that are throwing up.

Yeah, what about Tara? Do you know where I might be able to find her?

No, sorry.

But I do have a picture.

Lovely girl.

Such a waste.

What happened?

Some guard was buried sitting there.

Who took care of that?

We did it, baby. Tonight we finally score the big bucks. This isn't a game,

Billy. No, but it sure is living, ain't it?

She's so beautiful.

Yeah.

She reminds me of me when I was... I have missed so much of her life.

Oh, my God.

Look, Marianne, there's something I didn't tell you about. Your time here,

may not be much left.

Come on, I've got to talk to her. I've got to just at least to make sure she's

okay, okay?

Please, please just let me do this, and then I'll do whatever you want. We had

company. Go, go, go, go.

Hey fellas, cheap suit night was last Wednesday. Where's the girl?

Uh, she's just here.

We got time for a short one, right?

Do we look like we've got time for a short one?

Uh, no.

Yes, not.

Okay, you win.

Come on, I'll take you to her.

I used to hate when that happened.

You a waitress, too?

Yeah, I used to be.

Yeah, well, I'm not going to be doing this crap much longer.

Oh, yeah?

You going to get out of this dream job?

Yeah. Me and my boyfriend got plans.

Tonight's our last night.

Oh.

Yeah, I saw your guy out there.

He kind of reminds me of my last boyfriend.

I always liked him dangerous.

And hot.

Yeah, that too.

You know, it's got a downside, though.

My last boyfriend almost got me arrested.

Almost?

Sounds like you're lucky.

Not really.

Let's go, baby.

Bye.

Don't, sweet pie.

What did you say?

I said let's move.

Damn it, Parker, we haven't got time for this crap.

Like I said, fellas, I'm only asking for a little more time.

You don't have any more time.

Fellas said the whole world's going to hell in a crouton, and the only way to

stop it is by sending back your hitchhiker.

See, here's the deal.

We got Ballard and other brainiacs handling the big stuff.

And me, all I'm trying to do is handle the little stuff that, well, sort of

slips through the cracks.

I said we don't have any time.

Buyers are waiting, baby. They like what they see. We found us a new line of

business. I thought this was a one -sided thing. There's always a market

weapons.

I don't see why I gotta be there.

All right, look.

Chuck's been getting on my nerves.

The captain tonight, he's out.

You're moving up.

Work team all the way, baby.

Come on, now.

Do it for me, okay?

Don't do this. Tara.

Who the hell is she? I don't know.

Look, I will call the cops if I got to you.

That's it. I said it's food.

Let's go.

Billy, let her go. It's a dump.

Billy, he doesn't need to be here.

She said she was going to call the cops, all right?

What kind of friends are you making these days, anyway?

Okay, I didn't tell her anything.

Oh, baby.

If you did, well, you'd be in the same boat she is.

Which means what?

Huh? What are you going to do?

All right, get over there and keep your mouth shut.

Walk away, Tara, now. There's still time.

Will you be quiet?

All right? You're in enough trouble already.

Maybe if this goes all right, I can convince Billy not to do anything

Welcome, gentlemen.

How you doing?

You took the weather out there?

Freaky.

Yeah, but everything's cool in here.

Let me show you.

Very nice.

How much you want?

How much you carrying?

What if I said nothing?

Well, then we'd have a problem.

Let's get in.

Tara, don't move.

Can I keep your bitches in line?

Watch me.

Come with me.

I mean, something tells me we'd make one hell of a team.

Marianne.

Marianne.

We gotta go now.

No, no. We are out of time. There is so much that I have to suffer.

There is so much that I have to make up for.

I haven't even started.

Oh, it's me.

Isn't it?

It wants me back? Yes.

No. Yes.

Marianne, I'm sorry. I can't.

Tara!

Look, I don't know what's going on right now or why, and maybe I never will.

But I want to show you something.

I didn't ever really get to know my mom.

I mean, because she died when I was little, but...

I remember the last night I ever saw her.

She, uh... Don't ask me how I managed to get on to it all these years.

She,

uh... Called me her little star.

You are... You are her little star.

You're not coming with me, are you?

I can't.

I love you,

Mom.

I love you, too.

I love you, Mom.

I know.

I know.

I'm ready.

I'm afraid, Frank.

It's going to be okay.

I sure wish I'd met you a lot sooner.

Things might be a whole lot different.

Yeah, me too.

Amazing. It seems to be calming down.

It's like it was waiting for her.

I still can't believe that she's dead.

Well, we are talking interdimensional planes of reality here.

We're just starting to scratch the surface of what's out there.

Oh, it's beautiful, Frank.

Goodbye, Marianne.

Parker's laboratory.

I'm glad to say there don't seem to be any residual effects from his latest

adventure. Then everything's back to normal.

He said you don't love everybody.

He loved everybody else.

Maybe it's because I taught him to attack Parker's picture.

I'm going to kill you. Don't say kill. That makes it matter.

Well, I suppose that depends on your definition of normal, sir.
