(energetic music continues)

(clock ticking)

(clock ticking faster)

(voices overlapping) (people laughing)

(mellow music playing)

- Then the blind guy says, "Council meeting?"

"I'm just here for the free avocados." (laughing)

- What?

- Because of what the girl said earlier about the...

- Oh, oh! (laughing)

(both laughing)

- It gets better every time.

(voices overlapping)

- That's funny.

- Yeah. That was, that was the idea. (laughing)

I'm glad you liked it.

- So what's the deal with you now, Jason?

You're, you're like way different than what I remember.

- Oh yeah?

- Like, you seem like, I don't know,

you're just like, it's like you know

yourself a little better.

You know?

Did you do ayahuasca?

- No, no, no. Nothing like that.

- Then what is it?

Come on, I, I don't see you for months

and then you're back and you're completely different.

I know something happened.

- Try that again. (air rushing)

- What the fuck does that even mean?

- [Woman] Chasing after someone who doesn't want you.

That's how you wanna live your life?

- The laws of time and space don't apply.

I can do whatever I want.

I'm gonna keep giving my full heart to things.

That's how I wanna live my life.

- Thanks for the memories.

- Goodbye Jocelyn.

(air rushing) (mellow music)

You got me. (laughing)

I did Ayahuasca.

- You're bad! (laughing) - Yeah.

- I wanna do it.

You gotta invite me next time.

- Oh yeah. I'll, I'll invite you.

You can meet all of my drug friends.

You know me. Big drug head.

- You want another drink?

- Get the fuck outta here.

- Excuse me?

- Uh, another, another drink?

Yeah. Yeah, we can get that.

Just gimme a sec. Okay?

- Okay...

- Hey Jason!

- Did you follow me here?

- No, I didn't have to.

This is your classic date spot.

- That's not true.

- You're here all the time.

- [Jason] Not that much.

- Yeah, it is totally true.

Look, I need you to take this.

(voices overlapping) (mellow music)

- You're outta your mind if
you think I'm taking that again.

- I don't have time to explain,

but if you drink this, it's gonna give me

the time to explain it.

You know what I mean?

- So, is this your ex?

- [Both] No.

(mellow music continues)

(mellow music continues)

(liquid pouring)

- Oh no.

Not good. Not good at all.

(dramatic music)

- Lexian, you can't help but try. Can you?

I respect the drive.

Just wish you carried the same passion for your work.

(liquid pouring)

- Drink this.

Boss.

God, looking amazing as always.

So strong and powerful looking.

Anyway, I just figured since I'm fucked,

I would share one last drink with my buddy Jason here.

So cheers to living single, seeing double,

sleeping triple and seeing tomorrow.

Seeing tomorrow.

- Goddammit.

(dramatic music continues)

(charge humming)

(water running)

(knocking on door)

(soft music)

Lebian?

Lesbian?

Lexian!

(soft music continues)

(soft music continues)

You got a delivery, just say you got a delivery

you freaking weirdo.

(soft guitar music)

- Where did you get this guitar?

- How did you get in here? We're on the 13th floor

- Because you don't play guitar.

- It was here when I bought the place.

- Weird.

(tense music)

- I got some questions.

- I don't doubt that.

I just, we gotta figure something out.

- Okay. What's that?

- You gotta gimme something to eat.

(air conditioner running)

Mmm.

This is good. A little chewy.

- You know you're not supposed to eat the wax, right?

- You know, you don't always have to play by the rules.

- Okay. (Lexian coughs)

So that's what this is all about.

You not playing by the rules
and your boss doesn't like it.

- Pretty much. I mean, I'm a human now.

Ew. God, I'm a human.

I mean, I still have some of my Pristine abilities,

like my psychic powers, but my body is fragile

and weak like yours.

You know what I mean? I'm mortal.

It's different.

- Okay. So you want my help

to take down your power hungry wizard of a bad boss.

And you really think we can do that?

- Well, against all odds, yeah.

I think we can.

- Listen.

Lexian, is it?

Weird name by the way.

- Rude.

- I appreciate everything you did for me,

but I'm still keeping myself together

after that whole magic time
travel debacle with Jocelyn.

I, I I'm barely holding together
as is without helping you

with you and your employment issues.

Maybe update your LinkedIn. Just a thought.

- I wish it was that simple.

But Xaldin, he's not just having a temper tantrum.

He wants to make an example out of Pristines

who don't follow the rules.

- Okay. So why then if breaking the rules of time travel

is so severely punished, why risk everything for

me and some girl?

- But it's not just you and some girl.

You and Jocelyn were meant to meet

(soft music)

for a bigger purpose.

- You're talking like destiny.

I don't believe in destiny, Lexian.

- Well, you should start 'cause it's headed right for you.

And I'm scared.

I'm really scared

of what's gonna happen if I don't fix this.

- What do we need to do?

(energetic music)

- Well, first of all, pants.

Let's put some pants on.

Sooner the better.

But have you tried these with the wax?

Okay, so this is what you've been taking.

To time travel.

- But you said this isn't the standard method

of time travel.

- No, no. That would be this.

Time compass.

- When did you prepare this?

- I literally have not slept.

(energetic music continues)

Anyway.

I told you the higher ups, they're corrupt.

They don't give these out

unless someone's on a special assignment.

Like no one time travels without their say so,

until I developed a new way to do it.

It's a drink that is derived from a special herb

and a few other ingredients and all mixed together.

I call it Lexium, like my name, but a little different.

- Yeah, I, I got it.

- One with an M.

- I understood.

- Cool. Yeah.

So Lexium sends the user back

to a time that they desire.

I mix in a little bit of my blood with it,

and so I'm immune to the effects of it.

And the only people that retain their memories are

me and the person who took it.

That's what you were drinking the night we met.

- And that's why everyone else's memories got

reset except for you and me.

- Right.

- Okay.

So we just pop a couple of these bad boys and go back to

before you got caught off assignment...

- Wrong. Stupid.

I'm so sorry.

Do humans just like get angry like that?

- I dunno if you're dealing
like hormones for the first time

or what, but that was really rude.

- I know, dude. I'm so sorry.

- Okay, let's take it down a notch.

- I'm so, so sorry, dude.

You see Lexium equals my
special herb plus a few other bits

and pieces, plus an enchantment,

which is made possible by a Pristine.

And when Xaldin took my powers,

I lost the ability to enchant.

The shot you took at the restaurant?

That was my last dose.

- Okay. So how do we make some more?

- Well, I have all of the ingredients

for another batch except
one very, very important herb.

This,

- Which we then can't enchant. So how's that useful?

- It's very useful because I'm not going to enchant it.

(soft music)

He is.

- Who's this clown?

- He's not a clown.

He's a dear friend of mine.

His name is Felix. No, he's a clown.

He's a total goofball.

- Okay.

- He's he's actually a loser, but he's a Pristine.

- Oh, okay. So this rare herb, what's it called?

- Amelium.

- Amelium.

- Amelium. It's like a Liam at the end, Amelium?

- Right, right.

I it just, I've heard that before.

- You know where we can get some?

- I think I might, but it's gonna be a little awkward.

(Jocelyn retching)

(Jocelyn coughing)

(knocking on door)

(toilet flushing)

- Jason.

- Hey, Jocelyn

- And our bartender.

- (laughing) Yes.

- Uh, I tried calling but you didn't pick up.

Mind if we come in?

- Why?

- You want me to, I'll go?

- I'll speak. - Go for it. Yeah.

- Hey, I didn't get to introduce myself.

My name is Lex. I am a botanist and a bartender,

but also a botanist and Jason's friend

and I work for a magazine
called The Dirt Scoop Weekly.

And basically we just feature really cool

hybrid plant seeds.

So if you know anyone or if
you have a cool hybrid plant,

we'd love to feature you.

- Wow. Yeah.

Um, yeah.

Jason, I had some really bad shrimp the other night.

I've been blowing chunks all morning.

This just, it's not a good time.

- Wait! Hang on, Jocelyn.

Five minutes, for me?

- For the community.

- For the community.

- There's children.

- Think of the children. - Elderly.

- Think of the children.

- The children.

- [Jason] Who love plants.

- Come in.

- I'll take the bad, the shrimp off your hands though.

- So you want Amy's number?

- An introduction wouldn't hurt either.

You said that plant of hers was pretty special.

I can't imagine she wants to part with it

for a couple randoms.

- Did you have any credentials from that magazine?

- Yes. A lot of credentials.

Business cards. The business cards!

I don't, I gave them all out.

- Oh darn!

- To the community.

- Damn it!

- Left them, funeral home.

And that children's hospital. - Children's playground.

Hospital. - Playground hospital.

You know, bloom June is just so busy.

'Cause we have, it's just, it's a busy month.

- That's how it goes in the botanist community.

Unfortunately.

- It's October, so.

- Oh no, I work off the botany calendar, so I would love

to sit here and explain it, but it's

just gonna fly right over your head.

- [Jason] So boring. Yeah.

Not to you, but...

- I love it.

- [Jason] Yeah, you love the botany calendar.

- Day night, morning, botany,

- Boring stuff.

Like not something we wanna get into right now. Yeah.

- Oh my God.

I don't wanna freak you guys out,

but I haven't eaten in 45 minutes

and I might need to go to the hospital.

Do you have anything to eat or?

- Uh, yeah, there's, there's some baby bells in the fridge.

- Baby bells.

- She loves baby bells.

It's great to see you.

- Jason, what are you really doing here?

- I mean, the last time we talked I thought we left

things in a good place.

- Yeah, we did. We did.

There's just some weird shit going on right now.

- This has gone bad. That's sour.

I'll leave it out. Throw that away.

- But yeah, we're good.

- And what?

This isn't some kind of ploy to get back with me?

- No, no, no. Not at all.

I mean, unless...

No, no, definitely not. It is not.

We're just, I'm starting to think that

all of this was never really about us.

(tense music)

- Oh, shit.

(doors slamming)

- Hey, douche dick. I know you saw me merging back there.

- I've got business to attend
to. You should go about yours.

- Your business is my business now, bitch boy.

Do you know who my dad is?

You ever heard of Warren Buffet?

Well, my dad met him at a conference once.

Hey, I'm talking to you!

(magical humming)

- Now, in a moment I'm gonna release you.

When I do, you'll be on your way.

Is that understood?

Right, then.

(man coughing)

Run along.

(dramatic music continues)

- What in the fuck was that?

- He just Darth Vadered his ass.

- I'll explain everything later.

- No, no, no.

Somebody needs to tell me what's going on right now.

What in the black magic bullshit was that?

- I'll explain later,

but we need to go right now.

- What do you expect me to do,

run through the fucking woods?

My car is parked right out front.

- We're parked out there too.

How long to get what you needed?

- Two hours.

- I need you to get Lex to Amy's.

- Are you insane?

I'm calling the cops as soon as I get outta here.

- Jocelyn, did that look like something

the cops could deal with?

- I'm out.

- We need to get her on our side.

Amy's not gonna give up that plant without her.

- He's gonna kill you.

- If you succeed, then it won't matter, right?

You can change things.

If I'm wrong, then tell me

'cause I'm fucking scared, Lexian.

- Survive for two hours.

(tense music)

(tense music fades)

Hey, Jason's gonna distract that guy.

We have time to leave.

- You left him alone?

- He's a grown-ass adult. He's a man.

He can handle it. He's cool.

- Mess with my friends? Think again.

You're going down.

You're going down?

You, you are going down.

You are, no, no too much.

You are going down.

(dramatic music)

- Jason McLeod.

What a pleasure to finally
meet the human who's caused

all this trouble.

- Mess with my friends?

Think again.

Down, go, your, your down is where you're going.

- Impressive, standing up to me, Jason.

I did my research on you.

I didn't come across anything
resembling bravery or gall.

- Wait, really?

What about my Boy Scouts?

- It was only five badges.

- My scout master said...

(tense music)

- And one of 'em was sewing.

- Jocelyn. Jocelyn, wait!

Jocelyn!

Jocelyn, please wait. - You're both insane.

I'm not part of this.

(car beeping)

- Jason, I'm sorry in advance.

(dramatic music)

- [Jason] But it's 'cause I've heard all this before.

- [Jocelyn] Was this like a dream that you had?

- It's a nightmare. - Jason, that's so weird.

- [Jason] I thought I made some strong points.

I'm gonna treat you right.

Like I give a fuck.

Men's sexual marketplace value goes up.

- Jason! - You came here to say

something so say it.

That is Such bullshit. - Pardon?

- [Jason] If you like someone,

you damn the consequences and you power forward.

Honestly, Jocelyn, fuck you.

- [Jocelyn] I'm not that into you. Fuck you, Jason.

Thanks for the memories, memories, memories.

(tense music)

- So I just restored your memory.

That's like 75 versions of
reality flooding your brain.

I know that's a lot to process,

but as soon as you're done processing, we gotta go.

- You?

And Jason.

- Yeah.

Okay. How about I drive

and then you just navigate, passenger princess?

Play some music.

(keys rattling)

Maybe some spice Girls.

- My gear shift is janky. How did you know how to do that?

- Oh, I used to have a, an old car just like this

and my gear shift would get stuck all the time.

It's really common.

(rapid tense music)

(rapid tense music continues)

- Jocelyn. (fingers snap)

- Nope. Sorry, buddy.

(ropes crunching)

You all right? You hit your head kind of hard.

Can I get you something?

You hungry? You thirsty?

- I'm a little hungry.

- Tell me Jason,

after all the trouble you've caused me,

all the rules you and Lexian have broken.

(tense music)

And how impressively unimportant you are.

Why do you think you're still breathing?

- You, you were charmed

by my good looks and winning personality.

- (laughing) That's definitely not it.

- Oh.

- You see, you're a mystery, Jason.

Rebooting timelines isn't a Sunday

afternoon leisure activity.

There's a process.

You file paperwork, get approval,

all in the effort to preserve the very delicate

balance of the time panel.

(tense music continues)

(voices overlapping)

Interesting.

Guess we'll do this the old fashioned way.

(briefcase unlocking)

(ropes crunching)

- Hey, I don't know what you're doing over there,

but we can talk about this. Okay?

You, you don't need to do anything unhinged.

- Well, Jason, if you want to talk, why don't you start

by telling me a story,

a story of how you traveled through time?

The only method I know of is with a time compass.

Time compasses are invaluable.

You know what you do with things that are invaluable?

Keep them out of the hands of troublemakers.

Now, according to my inventory log, I know for a fact

Lexian does not have one of these time compasses.

(air rushing)

(chair scraping)

So tell me a story, Jason.

- Sweet.

All right. Ready to do this?

- I just have some questions.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- So at the bar, the only reason Jason was different

is because he lived that day how many times?

- 75.

And that was actually just the five minute

conversation between the two of you.

- I can remember every conversation now.

Like, like I know which one happened for real.

But all the others, they're still there.

Like, like this scattered

dream. - Dream.

Yeah. - Yeah.

Oh my god. Jason was naked.

- Yeah. (laughing)

- In the middle of the bar. - Yeah.

He was.

Yeah, he was naked in the middle of the bar.

He was running out of ideas.

He was running out.

- But I mean, come on.

What all that, what, to win me back?

It doesn't, it doesn't make any sense.

- He needed that, Jocelyn.

He needed to figure out that there was nothing

that he could have said or done differently.

It was always gonna end up that way.

- You know a lot about him.

- I know a lot about a lot of people.

It's a part of my job.

- Which is what?

- I am still figuring that out.

I'm not sure exactly. I'll let you know though.

- You know, talking in riddles
like that is really annoying.

- Sorry. Yeah.

The main thing that you need
to know is that what I did for

Jason and what I'm doing for Jason is not a part

of my job description, but
he's taking all the heat for it.

Amelia has what I need.

- Amelia?

You mean Amy?

- Yes. Amy, Amy.

Amelia, Amy, tomato, tomahto.

Espresso, expresso.

Let's express-go, right?

- Yeah.

Only idiots say exspresso.

Okay.

(Jason slurping)

- Is this exspresso? This is really good.

- Focus, Jason.

Let's try that again.

You walk into that bar, your
girlfriend breaks up with you.

- She wasn't my girlfriend, she was just

someone who's really special to me. You know?

Someone who made me feel...

- I don't care.

So she leaves and you reboot the timeline.

How?

- I don't know.

- Think carefully before you lie to me. Jason,

- Why would you even need me to tell you that?

Surely you can just zip back
in time and see for yourself.

- You haven't been listening at all, have you?

You don't just hop back and forth between timelines.

That moment in time is fragile enough as is.

Another trip back could have consequences

beyond your understanding.

There are rules, ways that
we do things to maintain order.

(magic humming)

One rogue pawn can throw the whole board off balance.

And that's what Lexian is. Rogue pawn.

And she will be knocked from the board.

The question that remains to be answered is,

what will be your fate, Jason?

You should tell me what I wanna know.

(dramatic music)

- I don't believe in fate or destiny

or any of that nonsense.

I'm not telling you anything.

- Your not-girlfriend.

You love her?

- I don't, I don't know if I'd say I love her.

I just... - It's okay-

You love her.

We can speak frankly.

I understand humans are weak to their brains'

innate chemical imbalances

and fantasies of romance, bringing meaning to their

otherwise pointless lives.

(solemn music)

You love her and she broke your heart,

and that hurts.

What if I took away that hurt?

Take away how?

- You tried over and over again

to make her love you the way you love her,

simply because you didn't know
the formula that would work.

- No, there's no formula.

I I, she just doesn't feel the same way I do.

I tried everything.

- You certainly didn't, not even close.

Infinite timelines, infinite possibilities.

There's least a handful where she loves you.

- So what are you saying?

You, you could put me on one of those timelines?

- Out of the question.

Tampering with The timelines
for such trivial matters

is exactly what caused all this mess.

- Then why bring it up?

(solemn music continues)

- How does it feel, Jason?

How does it feel to know despite all your efforts,

you still couldn't be the man she wanted?

Out there there's another version of you

living your best life,

and you will never be him.

(solemn music continues)

I can take away that feeling, Jason.

I can make you forget.

Wipe your memories so this girl never existed.

Remove that pain forever.

All you need to do is tell me
how you rebooted the timeline.

- Every time I've suffered, it's made me stronger.

I won't betray Lexian.

(Xaldin sighs)

- Suffering makes you stronger, huh?

Let's test that theory. Yeah.

- I already texted her.

I gave her that monthly scoop, Dirtly.

Dirt Scoop Weekly.

- Weekly. Yes.

Let's not involve her more than we have to.

- Yeah.

- Okay, cool. Cool.

- In and out. - Yeah. Yeah.

(knocking on door) - Do you wanna? Okay.

I was going for a high five.

- Yeah.

- Oh.

- Oh my gosh. (door chiming)

Jocelyn, get over here.

- Hi, Amy.

- Hi!

- This is the reporter I was telling you about

from the Dirt Scoop...

- Weekly. - Weekly.

- Yes.

- So excited.

So excited to introduce you to my new hybrid plant.

Now I normally don't let anybody near my babies

until I've cultivated at least a small cornucopia.

But since Joce vouches for you,

I suppose I could let you take
a small sample for the zine.

- Me doing the zine. (Amy laughing)

Reporter, that's me.

- Oh, come on in. Come on in.

Oh, if you wouldn't mind taking off your shoes.

Oh, and your socks.

- Right. Totally.

(indistinct)

- [Lexian] Yeah. Normal.

- [Amy] Thank you.

- Come in. - Oh.

- You just, you wanna put 'em

somewhere or you just kinda leave them?

- [Amy] You got it.

- We're awesome.

(Amy laughing)

- This is so exciting.

So I keep the Amelium, that's what I'm calling it.

- Love it. (Amy laughing)

- Locked in my garden in the backyard.

Jocelyn's been in there before.

- Yeah. - Awesome.

So just right back here?

- Oh, don't you wanna interview
me first about the Amelium?

Jocelyn can go grab this
sample while you ask me whatever

questions you have.

- Yes, yes, yes.

- Get it. - Yeah.

Just go grab that sample, real quick

turnaround on that sample.

Yay!

- This way? - Yes.

Oh, fun.

- I know. (laughing)

Oh, you like that?

- It's got a smell for sure.

- That's Gardenia with rye bread together.

- I'm definitely getting a yeast.

- Yes!

(soft music)

- Hello?

What the fuck? (gasps)

- Wait!

(soft music continues)

(tense music)

Hey Joce.

(Jason panting)

(Jason grunting)

(dramatic music)

- I'm gonna ask you again,
how did you reboot the timeline?

- Just stop. Okay?

I ain't telling you shit.

- Why, Jason?

Why put yourself through this?

For Lexian? Because she told you to?

- Lexian told me all about you

and the Pristines, that you're all corrupt.

So yeah.

(tense music)

- Catch.

Flip it over.

(tense music)

- Three P's.

Is that supposed to mean something?

- Pristines have a creed.

Protect, preserve, prevent.

We exist to protect the timeline.

Preserve the natural order.

Prevent abuse of the time
panel by those who would seek

to use our power for self gain.

I don't suppose Lexian mentioned any of that

in her self aggrandizing speech about corruption.

- She may not have made you sound quite so noble.

- So it begs the question, Jason,

what else isn't she telling you?

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

- Protect the time panel from those

that would use it for self gain.

So like who?

- Your friend Lexian for one.

Although, she's hardly the worst threat out there.

This your not-girlfriend?

(tense music)

(Xaldin chuckling)

- All right, so Lexian's not the biggest threat.

Then what is?

Who could possibly be such a problem for you

and a bunch of pseudo gods?

- Not just existing threats.
Potential threats as well.

Someone who gains power, but doesn't understand

how to properly use it.

Someone who lets their emotions dictate when

and where they use said power.

Someone so obsessive with minute,

insignificant details of events
that they would flaunt all

of the dangers of time travel

to make things go the way they want it.

If someone like that gained power,

we'd all have a much bigger problem.

- Jason?

What are you doing here?

How, how did you escape?

- Yeah, about that. I didn't.

The Jason you know is still very much

getting the Vader treatment.

- The Jason I know?

- Okay. Yeah, this is still early here.

You're getting cut up.

I'm Jason.

Just a different Jason than the one you know.

- Make it make sense.

(soft music)

- I'm from the future.

- Jesus fucking Christ.

- No. Okay, I know it's a lot.

Listen, you weren't even supposed to see me.

I'm, I guess I'm a few minutes off.

I'm still getting used to this.

- A few minutes off of what? What are you doing here?

- Same thing as you.

(soft music continues)

Came for this.

Here.

Take that and forget you saw me.

Don't mention this to Lexian or me.

And by me, I mean your me, not me, me.

You see?

- What makes you think I can trust you, Jason?

- It's Cloud now.

- (laughing) Cloud.

- Yeah.

- Cloud. Really?

- Yeah. Really.

Okay, if you don't trust me, just trust Lexian.

Okay?

She knows how to handle tough situations.

♪ P is for perennials. ♪

(Amy laughing)

♪ L is for lavender ♪

♪ A is for (indistinct) ♪

- Oh!

- You messed with the past

to manipulate me into being with you.

And now you're lying to me in the future.

I can't trust you, Jason.

- You have no idea what I've

sacrificed for you and the others.

So shut your mouth and just listen to me.

(solemn music)

Listen.

I care about you, Joce.

I've always cared about you.

Even though you didn't give a shit about me.

- If you cared about me,

you wouldn't be keeping secrets from me.

- You must realize by now that all

of this was never about us.

- You keep saying that. You keep fucking saying that!

- Alright, listen. Fine.

I know nothing I say is gonna make you trust me.

- No, you're right.

- Just one thing.

- Yeah. - One word.

- Sure. What is it, loser?

- Daniel.

(solemn music continues)

Yeah.

(solemn music continues)

- [Lex] Hey Joce, you grab that plant?

We gotta get a move on. Let's go.

- Yeah, I got it. Gimme a sec.

Jason!

Fuck you, Jason.

Fuck you!

(door closing)

This is it?

- Yeah. Yeah, this is it.

You okay? You were really quiet in the car.

Something on your mind?

Everything, right. Sorry.

That was stupid.

- So what's this next, last stop?

- We need a little magic in our lives, don't you think?

So we're gonna visit my friend

who's a really great magician. Yeah.

- This is the guy who's gonna do the enchantment?

I can't believe I just said that word.

- Yeah. A magician is gonna do our enchantment.

(soft music)

He's one of the bravest Pristines I've ever met.

And he was the key to the
resistance against the higher ups.

We're in good hands.

(soft music continues)

- So this is where your friend works or lives?

- Yes.

Both I think.

- Welcome on in. Lemme know if y'all need any help.

- Matter of fact, I do, Felix

- Lexian and Siren?

- No, this is Jocelyn. Jocelyn.

- Sorry. My mistake.

I thought you were someone else.

Lexian, what are you doing here?

- It's time to get back in the game.

- Back in the game. - Yeah.

We're gonna turn the tables, we're gonna take down

the corruption at the Home Office.

We're gonna take down Xaldin, Felix, are you in?

(tense music)

- No. (music stops)

- What?

- No, no, no, no.

I'm, I'm not letting you drag me

into more of your shenanigans.

- Shenanigans. Felix, do you hear yourself?

This is Xaldin we're talking about.

- Yes. And that's exactly my point.

Xaldin, the enforcer, the punisher.

The tickler.

- The tickler?

- Don't ask. - Don't ask.

- Seriously. It's not, it's not funny.

Dude, a year ago we were scheming together.

Me, you and well, we don't have

to bring him up, but we were a team.

- Yeah. And look where that got me.

When we got caught, I'm the one who took the fall

and now I'm the one working off

of home base in a shop somewhere.

(tense music)

Xaldin took everything I got.

Besides, Home Office is not gonna

assign me with another case.

- Yeah, you're not working for the tyrants anymore.

That's a step up.

- Lexian, you don't understand. Please stop.

I don't have anything.

Xaldin took everything I had.

He swiped me clean of my memories.

I don't know who my brother is.

He wiped me clean of my
brother's memory as some sick form

of payment to retribution.

I can't do this. I'm sorry, I can't do this,

(solemn music)

- Felix, I, I didn't know I, I'm sorry.

- Well, now you do.

Who knows what he'll do to me this time?

Before you know it,

I won't even know how to make creme brulee.

(solemn music continues)

- Felix, I understand. I really do.

But Xaldin is hurting someone
that I really care about.

And you and I both know the
only way things are gonna change

is if we take down Xaldin,
all the pieces are gonna fall.

It's gonna be like what we talked about.

No gods, no masters.

- I'm sorry. I'm out.

C'est la vie. (tense music)

- This is the guy?

- Yeah, he was.

It's weird.

You know, my memories must have gotten erased too

because the Felix that I knew
would've jumped at the chance

to take down the fucking assholes

in The Home Office.

He would've jumped at it.

We used to call you the maverick.

But I guess he forgot that too.

Come on, let's go. We gotta figure something else out.

- Hold on. Felix, can I use your restroom?

- Yeah. I'll show you.

(tense music continues)

- I'm sorry about your brother.

Do you remember anything about him?

- Not a thing.

I don't know if he's alive or dead or imprisoned

or working at The Home Office,

(solemn music)

but there's nothing I can do about it.

- Growing up, all I had was my brother.

It was just him and I.

He busted his ass

working odd jobs just to
make us money to keep us alive

against all odds.

Kept fighting even when life kept fighting us back.

No matter how shit things got, I always had him.

Until I didn't.

- What happened?

- He left.

He stormed into my room
having this like, psychotic break,

ranting about his destiny or something.

Then he packed a bag and left.

So that's the last I saw him.

- Family's the most important thing.

I'm sorry he did that to you.

- I'll never forgive him,

but I'll never forget what he told me.

He taught me everything.

He knew you had to keep fighting for something.

So he fought for me.

Lexian is fighting for Jason,

I guess, but you just need

to find out what you're fighting for.

Or you could just spend the rest

of your days working in a shop, Maverick.

- Wait, Jason, you said Jason is the one who's in trouble?

- You know him too. Why am I not surprised?

(dramatic music)

- Please, no more.

- Jason?

- Jocelyn?

- Jason, I found you.

- Jocelyn.

- Thank god you're okay.

- Your face is...

- Please tell me I'm still handsome.

- You've seen better days.

- How did you even find me?

I, I don't even know where I am.

- It's not important right now.

What's important is that we're together.

Right.

(tense music)

- So what, what happened?

Did you and Lexian get what you need or what?

- No, not really. We need you.

I need you Jason.

How did you do it?

How did you do this whole, this whole time thing?

- Can we talk about that later?

I don't know when Vader's gonna be back

and I'd much rather tell the story over

a couple blood orange margaritas. You know?

- Yeah. I'd love nothing more.

But Lexian, she failed. (soft music)

She didn't do what she said she was supposed to do.

And so now it's down to us.

And so I need you to tell me what you did.

- Okay, maybe get me outta these first.

There's a knife on the table.

- Right, right.

(solemn music)

Okay Jason, this whole situation has made me realize

how important you are to me.

And as long as we can be honest

with each other, we can do this.

- Okay.

Every time Lexian wanted me to turn back time,

she would gimme this shot with a green liquid

with some elixir or a potion or something.

And it was made from Amelium. You know your friend Amy?

She's got that garden. She grows all these hybrids.

How she stumbled across a enchanted plant

is beyond me, but that's how we did it.

(Jason panting)

(dramatic music)

- Thank you, Jason.

- Jocelyn.

- Not quite.

(chair clattering)

Strange you keep making that mistake.

Confused, scared, betrayed?

Isn't it funny?

The ones we love most are the ones capable

of causing the greatest pain.

Not to worry though. It'll all be over soon.

(tense music)

- Gah!

Fuck!

(soft music)

(Felix speaking Spanish) (magic humming)

- Is that the spell?

- No, that's Spanish.

- Great. Well, we have what we need.

- I'm not gonna end up regretting this, am I, Lexian?

- [Man] You know, I really think you might.

(tense music)

(dramatic music)

- Murphy.

- You remember me.

That's such a relief, considering you forgot

to invite me to the reunion.

And what a touching reunion this is.

All my favorite people in one place.

Felix, Lexian.

And if it isn't Siren?

Convenient you being here, seeing

as we still have a score to settle.

- What do you want, Murphy?

- Word is the Home Office is cracking down

on punishing some rebels.

Lucky for me, I know a couple who deserve

punishing the most.

Ain't that right, Maverick?

- Lexian, who is this guy?

- Murphy.

We used to run with him back in the day

when we were infiltrating the higher ups.

But you took it too far, Murphy,

and you got people we care about really hurt.

- Still sitting on that ivory tower, I see, Lexian.

Of course you decide when
the end justifies the means.

We must look like ants to you.

You know, you used to complain about tyrants,

but you act just like one, always telling us what to do.

- You know what, Murphy?

Lexian's right.

You went off the rails in ways
we couldn't possibly support.

Oh, he is right though, Lexian,

you can be a bit pompous and bossy sometimes.

- Felix.

- Look, I'm not here to argue about whether

or not my banishment was justified.

(tense music)

Today's the day I get back in.

- We're not working with you, Murphy.

You're a goddamn liability.

- (laughing) No, no, no, no, no, no.

You misunderstand.

I'm not interested in
rejoining a washed up alchemist

and a dickless retail worker.

No, I'm getting back in with the big boys.

- They'll never let you back.

- You're wrong.

I'll prove just how much they need me

by killing you.

(dramatic music)

You know, I thought I sensed
something different about you,

but now I can just smell the human on you.

Knowing how much stronger I am than you?

(Murphy sniffs) (electricity zapping)

It feels electric.

(dramatic music continues)

You again.

(metal crashing)

- Felix, Felix, do something!

- Why me?

- You're immortal.

- I have bad knees.

(Cloud gasping) (solemn music)

(solemn music continues)

(solemn music continues)

- My God, you're both useless.

(blow landing)

(solemn music continues)

(watch jingling)

(solemn music continues)

(clock ticking)

(dramatic music)

- What was that?

- A gift horse, one we don't have time to question.

Let's grab the Lexium.

(rapid music)

Jocelyn, what are you doing?

- I have questions,

and you're gonna give me the answers right now.

- Thank you for your cooperation, Jason.

You held out longer than I expected.

At least now we can move forward.

- Move forward. What does that mean, move forward?

- First things first.

Now that I know Lexian's method
of unauthorized time travel,

I already burned down that greenhouse.

The entire species of plant used to craft it.

(flames crackling)

- What?

- She'll find another way to stop you.

- You still have so much faith in her,

despite her never telling you the truth.

- What's that?

- Jocelyn, we don't have time.

- Time, time, time.

Do you know how sick I am of hearing that word today?

No one's answered a goddamn question!

That guy, Murphy, whatever?

He looked at me, he knew me.

So did piss in his pants over here.

- I did not piss my pants.

- I understand.

I just, I need you to trust me.

- I don't and I won't until you tell me who you are.

- Palm, please. (solemn music)

(clock ticking)

I can cut it off if you prefer.

(Jason gasping) (seal hissing)

- What are you doing to me?

- Showing you the truth.

- Tell her.

(dramatic music continues) (clock ticking)

(dramatic music continues)

(baby crying)

- What was that?

- A memory.

- That never happened.

- My past and your future.

(Jason panting)

- Oh, one more thing.

(tense music)

(disembodied voice whispering)

You know I kept asking myself,

why Lexian risk so much for so little.

She knew the consequences, yet she proceeded.

I had a theory. This just confirmed it.

- [Jason] What the hell are you talking about?

- That symbol on your hand?

It's called Luna's Curse.

Used as a disposal system for any being, mortal or not.

Once imprinted, there's no stopping it.

When the moon finishes its next cycle,

the curse will claim its victim.

- So what?

Your theory is if it works?

Test whatever you want on me,
I'm not afraid of you anymore.

- I know it works.

Now I've added something.

A drop of your blood,

which means anyone who shares your blood

shares the curse.

(soft music continues)

- My nausea.

- Morning sickness.

- You're my...

- Daughter.

I'm your daughter.

(soft music continues)

(Jocelyn crying)

(disembodied voice whispering)

(Lexian gasping)

(seal hissing)

(Jocelyn gasping)

(vials clinking)

(vial shattering)

(soft music continues)

(Jocelyn gasping)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(Jason chuckles)

- Joke's on you.

I don't have any family except for an uncle in Ireland,

and he's a total dick anyway, so like I care.

- Coin tells a different story.

Truth is I don't really care who gets punished,

so long as said punishment is issued.

Luna's Curse will only take one life,

but it will take a life.

And it will be one of you.

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(choir vocalizing)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(dramatic music continues)

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(Murphy grunts)

- Fuck.

I thought you would've killed me in my sleep.

Big mistake.

- That's not gonna work anymore.

(cuff crunching)

You'd sooner tear the skin off your

wrist than get that cuff off.

Nobody can remove it but me.

- Figures.

We both know you can't beat me in a straight up fight.

- See, that's your problem, Murphy.

You want to brute force your
way through every obstacle.

What was your plan back there?

Kill all three of them?

You think that would've
gotten your banishment lifted?

If Xaldin wanted Lexian dead,

don't you think he'd have done it himself?

- I would've shown him and the chancellor

that I get results.

- Oh, the chancellor! (laughing)

So you're all about serving the chancellor now, eh?

That's not the Murphy that I know.

I think it's time you ask yourself the big question,

the most important question
that'll determine the rest

of your future, quite possibly

the last question you'll ever need to answer.

Who do you wanna be?

Adrian Murphy, the good little soldier?

Or do you want to be more?

♪ Once upon a lifetime, lifetime, lifetime ♪

♪ Baby let's just get it right. ♪

(tense music)

You're strong, Murphy, but you need guidance.

- (laughing) You're gonna give me guidance.

(clock ticking)

- I've already started.

- You cut my fucking hair?

- See, if we're gonna convince them

that you've changed, which we both know you haven't,

you're gonna need to look the part.

- I doubt a makeover is gonna impress anybody

at the Home Office.

- No, no, no. Not them.

Them.

Today, those are your enemies.

Tomorrow, they're your best friends,

because teaming up with them is gonna give you

everything you've ever wanted.

- You just stopped me from getting what I wanted.

- Your revenge.

Alright, tell you what, Murphy.

Lexian's off the table.

But once we're done, not only will we be running things

at the Home Office, I'll deliver the Maverick

and Siren to you on a silver fucking platter.

That is of course, after she's no longer

carrying my daughter.

- You're really gonna let me kill Siren.

- You can do it right in front of me.

What do you say?

(dramatic music continues)

- I'd say I can live with that.

- All right, then.

(dramatic music continues)

We'll show them just what they missed out on.

- You've been busy.

- Everyone's got a part to play.

Speaking of, I've got a job for you.

You hear that, Daniel?

We're about to have some fun.

(dramatic music continues)

(music fades)
