The first 200 lines.
Manny, what are you saying?
You're telling me you're from 2062?
2064.
I spent two years in what you'd consider the future.
I don't... That's...
What? I'm here
because things in the future are bad, Jha.
It's 40 more years of the rich getting richer
by taking resources from everybody else.
I can't let us stay on that course.
Okay, so what? Somehow you make the future better
by killing Rev?
Not to mention all those people in danger here today.
Yes. Because today always happens.
It happens in every version of the timeline.
Okay, so why don't you stop it?
If it wasn't this, it'd be something else.
It has been something else,
over and over again throughout history.
There is a rot in this country,
people who believe in white supremacy above everything else.
The system we have now
is cruel to its core.
The sooner we tear it down, the sooner we can work
towards a better system in its place.
We have to start now.
So people now have to die?
Manny, that can't be the way.
It's the only way.
Welcome, Manny Campos.
Um...
When am I?
The year 2062.
Still Detroit? Yes.
Although you might not recognize it.
Michigan has been declared a climate haven,
and the population has exploded in the last decade.
It's been difficult.
It's all real.
We had a feeling you'd catch on quickly.
I am Dr. Amber Campbell,
lead scientist at our foundation.
What do you think of the place?
We have all of this because of you.
I built this?
No. Sadly, in every version
of your future that we observed, you died
before you could complete the project.
But you did lay the groundwork.
Um...
My brother's waiting for me in 2020.
He'll be worried.
We are of, course, sorry to pull you out of your life,
but we think you'll agree it's worthwhile.
But why this me? Why now?
Because 2020 Manny is as full of hope and promise as ever,
of understanding the space between spaces.
And who are you?
I head a team of scientists dedicated to using
this technology in order to better position
key people in time
in order to improve the welfare of humanity today.
But we need your help honing our vision.
The tech has a number of limitations,
and our experiments are falling short.
So far, they are not providing the positive impact
the world desperately needs.
We believe you're the key to our success.
Humanity needs you.
Will you help us change the world?
I told you what I was working on, Jha.
Breaking the fabric of time.
The people I was with, they thought they could
make it work in other ways,
tried to make incremental, agreeable change
that they could feel good about.
It doesn't work.
It never works.
Come on, we need everyone's help.
Get those chairs over here, stack them up.
I don't know how much longer those ropes are gonna hold.
We're ready! If they want a fight,
we'll give them a fight.
Right this way, sir.
I would like some answers, please.
How about a cup of tea while you wait?
Earl Grey?
I-I thought I was meeting with the founder of BHN,
Ms. Sienna Stone?
What do you know about Ms. Stone?
She works in technology, and prides herself
on being against the government.
Which I applaud, but...
I'm not sure how much substance there is
beneath the gleaming surface.
There's more to her than meets the eye.
Please.
It's time to save
you God-fearing patriots from these threats
to our way of life.
We are gonna protect the innocent people
in this country.
We should be doing more. Where are the authorities?
Why isn't Detroit PD doing something?
We've been liaising with the DPD the past few days.
They're monitoring the situation, but they think
these outbursts of violence so far are a few bad apples.
These folks, they've-they've gotten
the appropriate permits to camp and protest.
Come on. Really? DHS is monitoring, too, all right?
We're all over this. But look.
The 4,400 had asked to create a sanctuary out of the hotel.
We have to make sure we don't violate that in any way.
It's tricky.
So we do nothing.
Their methods may be crude,
and we certainly condemn them. Of course.
But this 44orum group will ultimately demonstrate
that the 4,400 need to be governed.
What does that mean? That the world
will see that the 4,400
can't be left to their own devices.
They're going to need us to step in.
And exactly how many casualties will there be before then?
I thought we were protecting people.
The questions you're asking come with accountability.
Do you really want that?
Damn it, Jessica, answer the phone.
I think we should get everyone out through the tunnel
while Mildred holds the doors closed up here. NELSON: No,
that's gonna be impossible. We went through the tunnel first,
but the 44orumers were right behind us. We had to cave it in.
What? LOGAN: So we're trapped.
You can barricade
in the hotel rooms. SHANICE: Okay.
Okay, everyone, find a room
to hide out in. Three or four of you together. And barricade.
Okay? Quickly!
Let's get to the elevators! Come on. You guys
get up to my room; I'll be right behind you.
What was that?
Is that a battering ram?
I'm trying, but I can't...!
Okay, everyone take cover. Now!
Find the reverend, their leader.
They'll all fall in line once we have him.
Here's one.
No! Hayden!
Let him go! Stop!
Let go of me.
Come on, follow me.
Why are we listening to this Millicent chick?
She's one of them. TYLER: We need her
in case we got trouble getting in the hotel.
But she doesn't know the real plan. We're gonna
round up those iguana-blooded pieces of 44-filth
and bring them right back here for extermination.
Yes. Including her.
Yes! Yeah!
We'll take this one
with the others.
You go get more. Saw them go that way.
To the elevator. Quick.
What is going on?
Oh, my God, I'm so sorry we have to be those absolute creepers.
I'm crawling out of my skin.
Okay, this is freaky,
but not as freaky as when you were Jessica,
I guess. We have to get our people
out of here. I'd rather take our chances
out there instead of being trapped with them
in here. Let's get everyone to the tunnel.
No. Manny's people said it was blocked.
Blocked? No, we need that exit.
Yes, we do. I saw that guy's memory.
They're planning to...
to take us somewhere and...
kill us. No, Lord.
They're in some burnt-out warehouse somewhere.
That's their, like, sad Mad Maxcosplay lair.
I've been there. It's not far.
Good. Y'all figure that out. I'll head to the tunnel.
Even if I have to rip this body to shreds,
I'll get it open for us.
And I'm gonna make sure Logan and Hayden
are safe in my room.
Pray those monsters haven't made it to this floor yet.
Oh, I'm ready to roll up
on their camp, even if that means
having to be those dummies for longer.
I can just... I can just take Mildred,
and we can rain holy hell down on all of them.
No, no, we can't do anything rash. Rash?
No. After everything they did to me,
to my friends, to my dad?
After what they did,
I want them to suffer. I want them dead.
Yes, I know the feeling.
But anger
and violence will only backfire on all of you.
