- People often romanticize time travel.

To get a second chance seems so easy.

I need your help, please.

Forgive me Samantha.

Maya Eckels!

- Curfew is now in effect.

Please return to your dormitories.

Curfew is now in effect.

Please return to your dormitories.

- Please, you gotta help me.

Just take a deep breath.

It's going to be okay, I promise.

Excuse us.

Of course.

Who are you?

Hello, Maya.

I'm here to investigate the incident tonight.

You're with the police?

- Ah, no, this situation will be handled internally.

- A murderer breaks into my building and tries to kill me,

only to be shot dead on my doorstep and no police?

- Oh, well that's not true at all.

The man that attacked you is not dead.

What are you talking about?

It's been an eventful night.

You must be mistaken.

I just came from the hospital,

and the doctors have stabilized him.

He will be arrested once he has been released.

Now, I'm going to need to ask you some questions,

and I need you to be honest with me.

I am here to figure out why this has happened

and secure your safety

and the safety of everyone at this facility.

Understand?

Question, have you seen this man before today?

Samantha!

No.

Good.

Second question, what did he say to you?

- Who said he said anything to me?

- Let's make one thing perfectly clear.

I know everything about this place.

Every crack, every secret.

Now, I am here looking out for everyone's best interest,

so you would do well not to lie to me again.

What did this man say to you before my team saved your life?

Let's go.

What are you doing here?

Get this thing off of me!

Get it off, get it off!

- You can't just show up like this.

- I know I just really need your help.

- This is how we get caught, you're too impulsive.

- Says the guy who's asking me to steal for him?

Besides, when I tell you what happened to me tonight.

Just give me two minutes.

I promise you'll want to hear this.

Two minutes and you're gone.

- Certainly your records have been doctored.

- Do you see the name Samantha anywhere?

- Just once, Samantha Reed born October 15th, 2015

at 12:03am, Denver, Colorado.

And that's as far as they got.

Must have been an auto save file they missed

when they wiped the records.

My name's Samantha?

Does it say anything about how I got to St. George's?

- There's definitely a gap in your geneline though.

No mother on record.

This could be your father.

Wait.

That's the guy.

Hey, what's up stumbles?

Have we met?

Are you kidding?

We hung out all day, you still owe me money too.

So since you're still here

I'm assuming the surprise visit went well?

What?

With your dad?

You mean Barry?

Who?

Montgomery.

Yeah, it went well?

Yeah, I guess.

Where does he live?

- So you're clumsy and forgetful now.

- Would you just tell me where he lives please?

- Yeah, alright, it's around the corner.

Last house on the hill.

Thanks.

What?

Who do you work for?

I don't work for--

- Took you long enough to find me!

What?

- You can tell them this is the last time

you will be able to track me down.

- I don't know what you're talking about.

I just, I want to talk to you for a moment.

It's about the resistance.

Ah, the resistance.

I knew it, get out of my way!

No wait, wait, wait, wait.

Please.

Come on, come on.

Come on!

I'm not moving until you talk to me.

I will run you over!

- I know your real name is Barry Reed!

Gotcha.

Ah, dammit.

What happened?

Fail safe.

They're watching these files.

Who are they?

Was that my father?

What the hell is going on?

CID.

What?

Tell me what's going on.

- Okay, this isn't really an orphanage.

It's a facade, a fake.

A better word to describe it would be a farm.

A farm?

- This whole place is owned, operated, and populated

by a secret branch of the Majora Corporation called C.I.D.

Now, CID is in charge of the regulation

and control of time travel.

- So, you're telling me there's a secret organization

of time cops who are policing time travel?

- CID is afraid of what might happen

if somebody changes the past, so they police it.

Everybody in this place is here because CID put them here.

- So, my parents they were killed by CID?

At least your father wasn't.

CID doesn't generally kill.

They sort of reconstitute.

Wipe your memories and replace them with new ones

or send you to a research facility in the middle of nowhere

until they can figure out what to do with you.

- So, you're saying that CID was behind my father

trying to assassinate me tonight.

Likely, yes.

- And you didn't tell me this because?

- Because it's not for you to know.

It's not for anyone to know.

- So, we're all just part of some stupid experiment!

Chaos theory is just a theory.

- Look, this is a lot bigger than just you.

Just forget about it.

Are you okay?

What the hell?

This girl was harassing me

and trespassing on my property, alright?

She was harassing you, huh?

Stay right there honey.

I saw the whole thing, I'm calling my sheriff.

No, no, don't do that.

This is bullshit, alright!

She ran right out in front of me.

This is a crock of shit, you're an idiot, you know that?

She's trespassing, and I get arrested?

This is bullshit!

- You sure you don't want to press charges?

- No, it was just a misunderstanding.

Please don't do that.

- Well, to tell you the truth, this is not

the first run in we've had with him.

We're gonna hold onto him for a while.

At least until he cools off.

Get home safe miss.

She's not gonna press charges.

We'll just hold him for the night.

- Chaos theory says that if I were to go back in time

and step on a butterfly

the whole world could explode or whatever.

But The Novikov self-consistency principle says

that whatever you do in the past, you've already done.

But how could CID know which is right?

- You've been studying the material I see.

- So, they must be using the Eloi Gas

as some type of molecule accelerator.

You're building a time machine.

- And this is why you shouldn't know these things.

You're too damn smart.

That's it.

You can send me back in time, and I can find my parents

and figure out why I'm in this shit hole.

No, we're not doing that.

- So, you do have a time machine?

It doesn't matter.

Even if we could safely land you in the past, to what point?

We have nothing to go on.

And this whole situation has escalated

because of your father.

- The man who tried to kill me tonight.

Yes.
