Loki

- We're all gonna die. - What do you mean?

The blast doors won't open.

The containment doors are locked.

Only the person who designed it

can open it with a live scan of his temporal aura.

He Who Remains.

And he's dead.

The Temporal Loom is not constructed to weave together so many new branches,

so it's overloading.

The more those branches grow,

the closer this thing comes to melting down.

The TVA is the problem. It's broken.

Sylvie, without the TVA, all of this, everything is gone.

We found him. He's terrifying.

- Who? - He Who Remains.

We thought it was about freeing the timeline,

but that brings only more war, more of him.

They're coming. They're all coming.

He shows up again, his Variants, what are you gonna do?

Kill 'em.

Miss Minutes is helping Renslayer.

Whoever created this place is in danger. I need to find them.

Okay.

This is where you dragged me after you stole my life.

What was my nexus event?

I don't remember.

I got a hit on Renslayer's TemPad.

Tim, come on!

Come on!

Ugh.

This can't be the right place.

Where is she?

What took you so long?

What am I doing here?

Oh, don't get your britches in a stir.

You told me I was going somewhere important.

That I was gonna meet someone important.

- Did you bring what I asked? - Answer me!

First things first. Do you have it?

Oh, bless your heart. Now, do you see that window there?

- Uh-huh. - The important person you're gonna meet?

The one at the End of Time?

He told me that we need to put this package in that window.

That's it?

What do you mean, "That's it?"

It was his plan, meant to protect all of time.

Then why didn't he do it?

- He's dead. - What?

This was the plan he made when he knew the end was near for him.

Get back! Someone will see you. You don't exactly blend in.

Okay.

Better?

This package. That window.

At this exact moment in time, yes.

And what do I get in return?

When he's back where he belongs,

atop the TVA,

you and I will be right by his side.

Loom status elevated.

So, how do we get in?

Loom status elevated.

Without He Who Remains' temporal aura, I don't know.

Well, how much time do we have?

It's stable right now, but the branches Dox pruned are growing back.

So if we can't get in there and increase the diameter of the Loom's intake ring

enough to boost throughput and clear that knot of unrefined time...

Wait a second, wait a second. Simpler.

We need to scale the Loom's capacity to manage all those new branches,

otherwise it will fail.

And the TVA will be destroyed.

And we're all gonna die.

There has to be another way.

We can hack into the system.

Really? Oh, that is such a relief.

- No, no, no. I'm wondering. - What?

I think he meant it as an idea.

- Can we? - No. We're all gonna die still.

No one's gonna die. There has to be a viable option.

What about Miss Minutes? Can she open up access to the Loom?

Miss Minutes. What about her?

Conceivably. She has administrator access to the entire TVA.

She can have access to the whole universe.

Doesn't really matter if she's gone, and she's AWOL.

And how are we gonna find a little rogue cartoon clock that doesn't wanna be found?

I'd say the sooner we find her, the better.

We know Miss Minutes sent information to Renslayer

and then we never saw her again.

The two hits we had on the TemPad trace.

We find Renslayer, we find Miss Minutes.

That's gonna be an awkward reunion.

Face-to-face with the woman who tried to kill us both.

Well, maybe she got it out of her system. Let's focus on that cartoon clock.

Okay, we got a hit on the TemPad going from right here,

Chicago 1868 to the same spot, 1893.

Why would you go to the same place twice?

I don't know, I'm trying to connect the dots.

This isn't a pivot point in history.

Any major figure arises from here?

No. I mean, you had the Chicago fire, but that's 1871.

Let's go to 1893.

Ravonna, what are you up to?

This can't be the same place.

Yes. Yes. How could I have forgotten?

Chicago World's Fair, 1893.

The White City, Edison, H.H. Holmes. Yes! Hot air balloons.

- This makes more sense as a destination. - Yes.

You're saying they went to 1868 by mistake, then went 25 years ahead

- because this is where they wanted to be? - No, no.

I wouldn't describe Renslayer as accident-prone.

Plus, if she has Miss Minutes to help her,

there's a purpose to them going here earlier.

We just gotta figure it out.

I mean, if they're here, we'll find 'em.

If they're here.

Only one way to find out.

How do you propose we do that?

Well, you start by looking. A little good old-fashioned legwork.

Clues, bread crumbs, that sort of thing.

Liberty Bell Day to debut on the fourth of July.

Ghost Clock continues to haunt the Midway.

Hey. Let me see that.

Here.

What do you call that?

Bread crumb.

Exactly.

We've been to Chinese Pavilions, Bulgarian Curiosities.

A not-so-brief detour for refreshments, yes.

Yeah. The Cracker Jack concession stand is a high-traffic area.

- It was necessary and logical to go there. - Sure.

The fact that it's tasty is a bonus.

- You wouldn't know. You haven't tried it. - Okay.

- It tastes like ash. - No, it doesn't.

Can we get a move on? We aren't sightseeing.

I'm not sightseeing. We have different styles.

You're a man of action, which is fine.

I take a more slow, deliberate, cerebral approach

because I see everything. I notice everything.

You haven't seen you got some Cracker Jack on your chin.

So damn sticky.

This has to be a joke.

Does it make you homesick?

No. It's completely inaccurate, first of all.

What, you don't think that looks like Odin?

It's embarrassing. It's a crass generalization.

I mean, you can't reduce an entire culture down to a simple diorama.

Such poverty of imagination.

Is somebody feeling a little left out that they're not up there?

No. And why'd they include Balder? No one's even heard of him.

Sure they have. Balder the Brave.

You know, sometimes I forget that you're one of them.

You are one of them. Blows my mind.

Thor's not that tall.

So we haven't been to the Ottoman Hippodrome,

where the Ghost Clock was spotted. And the balloon park.

That sounds like it could be fun.

- Maybe we... - Mobius, look.

"Temporal." That can't be a coincidence.

That's where we'll find Renslayer.

Would you kindly open the bag?

Unless you want everyone freaking out,

you stay in that bag until I tell you otherwise.

You two, enjoy the beer.

That's right, bring it!

This is it.

I think she's here.

You think?

Well, I don't know. She does like a good drink.

And so do I.

There she is.

Don't let her see you.

- Is that the Loom? - I think so.

Time is everything.

It moves...

through each and every one of us.

It shapes our... lives.

Our... futures.

But perhaps we can shape...

it.

It's him.

Who?

He Who Remains.

Ladies and gentlemen.

What? You made him sound like this terrifying figure. He...

Don't be shocked...

He is.

...when I tell you that time is the future of...

energy.

And just what would you know about the future, boy?

Great question. Great question.

And the answer is...

more than you... might think.

We can't just stand here.

It's one of the Variants that He Who Remains warned me about.

It's coming. It's beginning.

Look where we are. Does he look like he's about to

- conquer all of time? - Why should we toil in the dirt

for coal and petroleum...

when the energy

of the past, present, and future flows...

all around us?
