- What can we do? - I don't know what to do.
He's travelling east. He's travelling out of range.
- Okay, what can we do? Anything? - I don't know,
but if we don't do something fast, I'm gonna lose this guy.
We're losing the signal.
We have to boost the signal.
We need to chase him with the goggle rig.
Yeah, well, Gunnars is a little busy right now,
and he's the only one who can use it.
- Where is it? - What, the rig? It's...
- Yeah, the rig. Where is it? - It's in his Hummer.
- Keys in there? - Yeah.
All right, quiet, everybody. It's him.
- Carlin. - Where's he now?
- Is he going east? - Yes.
Okay, he's going east, going up on De Gaulle.
All right, just try to keep him in sight, and keep feeding me directions.
I'll try and track him with this goggle rig.
- Can he do that? - Yeah, if he can catch up to the image
and keep him in sight, that could work.
Hey, how do you turn this thing on?
There's an on-off button on the back of the rig.
Okay, I see it.
It's really simple. Wherever you look, the eyepiece will auto-focus,
and we'll see what you see.
Okay, you're live. You're on.
- Try the goggles. - Hang on, hang on.
- He's gone. Out of range. - What?
- Where's he headed? - He's headed toward the l- 10.
East or west?
- I don't know. - I don't know.
East or west?
We lost the signal. We're blind in here.
- I don't know. - All right, hang on.
Oh, shit!
What? What happened? What happened?
This is trippy.
Doug, look straight ahead.
We've got the window slaved to your goggles.
We are seeing what you're seeing four days in the past.
Okay, I got him. I got him. He's back in range.
He's going west, not east,
on the Crescent City Bridge.
There he is. That's him. Opposite lane.
- I got him. - That's him. That's him.
I got him!
Watch the traffic.
- What was that? - I think he hit something.
Doug, you've gotta stay with him. You're gonna lose him again.
Doug, what's happening?
I got him! I got him.
All right, all right, all right.
Good. Now stay with him.
Send paramedics to the Crescent City Bridge.
Got that?
I lost him.
- I got him! I got him! - All right. All right.
That's him.
He's headed for the 10 to the bayou.
I can see him. He's right in front of me.
Carlin!
What was that? What the hell was that?
Doug, are you all right?
Doug!
Doug?
I think it's broken. I can't see anything.
We still have a signal here. You're still transmitting.
- You can see? - We'll talk you through it.
Can you still drive?
Yeah, yeah. Where is he?
Give us a 360 with the goggle rig.
There! There he is! Pan the thing around.
- Which way? - To your right.
To your right.
There! There he is!
- He's taking the road to the bayou! - Right there?
The road is blocked.
Take the expressway. It parallels the road.
Go. Go, go!
See him?
Pan right. Pan right!
You still see him?
He's at the end of the bridge.
- You hear me? - He's at the end of the bridge.
Keep talking to me.
I don't know what else to tell you. I feel very, very close to you right now.
He took the exit ramp beneath you.
- Take the next off-ramp. - Take the next off-ramp!
All right, I'm on the off-ramp.
Go right, then double back on yourself.
All right, I got it.
All right, take another right.
Still see him?
He's heading to the bayou. Take a left here.
Good, good, good.
Take it easy, Doug. He's dead ahead of you.
Okay, okay, okay.
He's slowing down, coming to a fence. Do you see it?
Yeah, I see it.
Doug, if you're gonna leave the Hummer, take the backpack.
It's the power source for the rig.
- Can you hear me? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, we can hear you. We can hear you.
All right.
What's he doing now?
He's pulled around the back of the building.
Looks like a bomb went off.
Really? We see an intact structure here.
- No damage? - No, none.
Looks like a vehicle's inside.
An ambulance. You see that?
No. Nothing.
See anything?
He's dead ahead of you.
Doug, he's pulling Minuti out of the car.
Where?
All right, now pan to the right. Pan to the right.
- More right. - You got him.
Yeah, he's dragging him out of the car.
Do you see him?
- Yeah. - Yes. Right in front of you.
Boost the audio for me.
Audio boosted.
Turn around. Turn around behind you.
- Larry? - Pan back to the right.
- You've got him now. - Where is he?
He's being dragged on the concrete.
Larry!
What's that sound?
What's the sound?
He's pouring some kind of accelerant over Agent Minuti.
I think it's the diesel fuel, like at the ferry.
He's waking up.
Brace yourselves. I think you're about to witness a murder.
If we hadn't sent him there, he wouldn't be dead now.
No, he was already dead from the ferry. We just changed how he died.
We don't know that.
He could've been standing right next to you,
right until we sent that note.
You'd need a branching multiple universe for that to happen.
Oh, come on. We can't change anything.
We didn't change anything. That's what I've been trying to tell you.
I'll tell you what we did.
The suspect used a stolen Blazer to case the dock.
So now he has a truck big enough to drive a bomb onto the ferry.
Now Larry shows up, right?
Larry puts bullet holes through the windshield.
- You want a mask? - No. No, I'm good, thanks.
Larry puts bullet holes through the windshield,
leaves blood all over the back seat, so now our bomber needs a new truck,
you understand? Claire's truck.
You hungry?
Yeah, we changed one thing,
but by changing one thing, we didn't change anything.
What's on TV?
Hey, hey, hey, we got a name.
- Carroll Oerstadt. - What?
- Who is that? - Owner of that bait camp Doug found.
Truck registration, airboat registration, match.
And another property.
5874 Mullie Ave., Ninth Ward, New Orleans.
- Is this a he or a she? - It's a he. Let's go.
Clear!
Testing, one, two, three, four.
A TF New Orleans, conducting interview with Carroll Oerstadt.
You've waived your right to counsel, right?
- Yes, sir. - Okay.
I'm fascinated with your precision.
It's not very often we see that level of expertise around here,
and if it's all right with you, I'd like to use this interview
to educate my colleagues in law enforcement.
- Yes, sir. - Good. Good.
Let's talk about motive.
Why would you use explosives against the US Navy?
- Correction, sir. US Government. - US Government.
It says here that you tried to enlist in the Marines.
You were rejected. You tried to enlist in the Army,
you were rejected again.
Why do you think they did that?
Because they don't want patriots.
The military no longer recognises commitment and purpose.
They thought I was overcommitted and psychologically unstable.
They didn't want to understand my value.
They understand it now.
I believe so. Yes, sir.
- You're ATF, right? - Yes, I am.
- Got a smoke? - No, I don't. But I can get you one.
- Would you like one? - Yes.
Okay. Anything you want to say, just talk into the mike.
A man can always use more alcohol, tobacco and firearms.
I can think of one more thing.
It's like the Revolutionary War, you know what I mean?
"One man's terrorist is another man's patriot, " isn't it?
- Yeah? - Exactly.
- Yeah. - You get it.
- This wasn't about revenge. - What was it about?
Destiny.
Destiny?
You've been asking me about my motives.
- Right. Right. - My methods.
They're all connected.
Everything's connected.
Okay. How was Claire Kuchever connected?
I needed a car.
- And that's it? - No, well, something
- that couldn't be traced back to me. - Right.
I had one ready till that cop showed up.
That cop was a federal agent.
Lawrence Minuti. My partner. You shot him.
He... I was about to burn him and he was waking up, you know?
I mean, I'm not cruel.
Well, why didn't you "do that" for Claire Kuchever?
Well, because I needed her to look like a ferry victim,
- and a bullet would've given it away. - I see.
I went to her house on the pretence of buying her car.
I took her from behind, taped her mouth and threw a hood over her head.
Then?
I bound her wrists and her ankles and I drove her back to my place.
I loaded the device into her car
and then I soaked her with the gasoline.
Jesus.
And?
I think you know what happened after that.
No, I don't know. I want you to tell me. You gotta talk.
I mean, you know, come on, hero. What happened after that?
I'll tell you what happened after that.
You killed 543 people. How do you feel about that?
I think that you were a murderer right from the beginning.
Sometimes a little human collateral is the cost of freedom.
To me, those people were war casualties,
but to you, they're just evidence.
That'll do. We got him.
What'd you say?
You think you know what's coming? You don't have a clue.
I know where you're going.
I know you're gonna be away for a long time. I know that.
- This case will never even go to trial. - No?
- 'Cause I seen what's coming. - Did... Have you? What?
What is in this glass? You've seen what's coming, huh?
Okay, what's coming? You tell me.
I told you earlier I have a destiny,
a purpose.
Satan reasons like man, but God thinks of eternity.
Well, I prostrate myself before a world that's going to hell in a handbag,
'cause in all eternity, I am here and I will be remembered.
That's destiny.
A bomb has a destiny,
a predetermined fate set by the hand of its creator.
And anyone who tries to alter that destiny will be destroyed.
Anyone who tries to stop it from happening will cause it to happen.
And that's what you don't understand.
We're not here to coexist. I'm here to win.
So you'd better have some divine intervention, buddy.
You're gonna need it.
You'd better have some K- Y. You're gonna need it.
What am I supposed to do?
- We're shutting you down. - What?
Yeah, we got what we need.
The forensics, the suspect, a confession. We're done.
Sir, perhaps we should continue and watch the actual crime.
- The ferry bombing. - Right. He's right.
I mean, we can't just go on the confession alone.
We need an airtight case. We need to collect more evidence.
Well, collecting evidence would've been fine, Agent Carly.
- You took it a little further than that. - Agent Carlin. Carlin.
My name is Carlin, not Carly.
We had protocols in place. There's strict protocols.
And then you had to push it, and now an agent's dead.
Sir, by one theory, that already happened.
We're done. Power it down. Pack it up. On to the next case.
- What about Claire? - What...
Lookit, charging Oerstadt in the Kuchever murder
is gonna raise too many questions about how we obtained the evidence.
I understand that, sir, but what about Claire?
Are we just gonna drop the case?
We got him on the ferry bombing, we got him on killing a federal agent.
- That's enough to get him the needle. - I cannot accept that, sir.
Well, you know, I don't give a rat's ass what you can accept.
- She doesn't matter. - He's gonna kill her.
- In 12 hours, he's gonna kill her. - He killed her four days ago.
You were at the funeral. What's wrong with you?
It had to happen.
I delayed turning in my report till we caught the guy.
Hey, mission accomplished.
This is a victory, Doug.
Hey. Now, my job is closure.
Your job is to help facilitate that closure.
Then you tell me, what do I tell her father?
We caught the son of a bitch.
We can't save the victims.
It's not our job to make the relatives feel better.
We lose everything that we care about. Those are your words.
Doug, it's not your fault that Claire dies.
Yeah, that's one theory.

Denny? It's Doug.
Well, I can't say I wasn't expecting this call.
Look, you know what happens if you try this.
We both know what happens if I don't.
Well, not a lot of guinea pigs volunteer to die in the name of science.
Well, then we have to make sure
I end up somewhere besides the morgue.
Can you help me?
I'll see you when you get here.
Doug?
Do me a favour. When you finish, turn off the lights.
You do that one more time, you set off every alarm in the joint.
Can't take it.
Gotta keep the mass as low as possible.
You gotta take everything off.
- You can keep your underwear on. - Thank you very much.
Thought you said you didn't believe in changing the past.
Right. Well, I also believe in God.
Just don't tell anyone.
- I'm gonna tell everybody. - Yeah?
You know, when I open up the throttle on this thing...
Yeah, I know. EM field, flatline. I got it.
Thing of it is, no matter how clever we think we are,
the most probable outcome of our little experiment
is that four and a half days ago you get a call from the coroner's office.
"Hey, Agent Carlin, I want you to come down here.
"There's something you should see."
And next thing you know, you're standing over a corpse
and it's you.
Well, you can be wrong a million times. You only gotta be right once.
Besides, I think I'd remember if that happened, right?
So I gotta face out toward you?
Yeah, face out. Just like the note, only bigger.
- You ready? - No.
You don't have to do this.
What if I already have?
Right.
Doug?
Hey. Hello?
- You okay in there? - Yeah.
- You good? - Yeah, yeah, I'm good.
I'm beside myself.
Am I still here?
For now. You ready?
- Yeah, I'm ready. - All right.
Looking forward to walking up to you four days ago
and blowing your mind, though.
Well, if that happens, maybe you can tell me
what it's like to meet your younger self.
All right, I'll let you know.
All right, remember, the ferry blows at 10:50 on Fat Tuesday, okay?
Yeah.
Here we go.
See you yesterday.
God willing.
Good, good.
- You don't have to do this. - Hello?
Maybe I already have.
- What the hell? - All right, hold on, everybody.
The reserve generators should kick in. Nobody move.
That was interesting.
- Doctor! - Who the hell is that?
Where'd he come from?
All right, let's get him into Trauma. Trauma 2, Trauma 2!
This is weird.
- Defib. - Clear!
Recharge it again.
Clear!
- Recharge to 300. - Charging.
Clear!
Resume CPR. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
... thirty-four degrees.
Forty-nine was our low temperature at the airport.
Gonna be at that or just maybe above that for tonight.
Let me show you why. Look, the winds are starting...
...a few of them come back. - I'm thinking about getting a tattoo.
- Whoa! - I'm a federal agent.
I need your keys. I need a vehicle.
There's keys in the truck there.
Which one? Right here? Put your hands down.
Hands on the table. Hold your doughnut. Hands right there.
Water it.
This might be a metaphor for existence itself.
A fish struggles instinctively against an almost formless antagonist.
The fish is a largemouth bass.
Here's the news at 8:30.
Federal officials are still baffled by the massive blackout
that darkened the entire eastern half of the country early this morning.
Hey!
Jesus.
Wait a minute. Hey, it's okay. Wait a minute!
Listen. Claire!
I'm a federal agent. Hang on, hang on.
All right, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
I'm a federal agent. It's okay. It's okay.
You're safe. You're all right, okay?
I'm a federal agent. You're safe. You're safe. Look at me. Come here.
You're safe. He's gone. All right?
- Get me out of here! - All right. All right.
Get me out of here!
It's all right. It's okay. It's okay.
- Get me out of here. - All right, let me get your feet.
It's all right. It's all right. It's all right.
Hey, look at me. Look at me.
I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?
All right.
How'd you know there'd be keys in this truck?
That's a good question. I didn't know.
- He's a terrorist? - Yeah.
His name is Carroll Oerstadt. I'm a part of a special surveillance unit.
We've been tracking him.
He's planning on blowing up the Canal Street Ferry today at 10:50.
- So we're going to the police? - No, it's too complicated.
By the time we get them up to speed, the ferry will be gone.
We gotta go straight to the Algiers dock.
I don't think you're gonna make it. You're losing too much blood.
No, I gotta make it. I only got an hour and 40 minutes to catch up to this guy.
What if you don't make it? What happens then?
If I don't make it...
What?
Your house is on the way.
We'll go by your house, and I'll get cleaned up.
- I'll drop you off. All right? - All right.
Hey, Ginger.
She hates strangers.
You need anything?
You get cleaned up. I'll take care of this.
- You sure? I could bind that for you. - No, I'm sure. You go ahead.
I'm gonna need to borrow one of your boyfriend's jackets, though.
Sure.
Hey, listen.
- You shouldn't wear that. - What?
Why don't you put on a different one?
The blue and white one. Anything. It's just...
Just trust me.
The victim wore a dress like that and it wouldn't be good.
- Okay. - Trust me.
All right, I'll go change. I'll be right out.
Stop right there! Don't move!
Don't move. I'm calling the police.
- I am the police. - No, you're not.
- Yes, I am. - No, you're not!
You didn't ask me any questions. You didn't take a statement.
And you knew where my house was, what's in my closet.
- Who are you? - I'm Doug Carlin. I'm an ATF agent.
I'm part of a special surveillance unit that's been tracking the man
- who was trying to kill you. - How do I know that?
I had a hood over my head. You could be him.
Just think about it, Claire.
Look at my face. You scratched the man's face.
Do I have a scratch on my face?
- You scratched him, didn't you? - Get on the floor.
Now! Get on the floor!
All the way!
ATF New Orleans, Agent Donnelly.
Yes, is there an Agent Douglas Carlin working out of that branch?
Yes, there is, but he's not here right now.
Would you like to leave a message?
Can you describe him for me, please?
How tall, skin colour.
I don't know. He's 6'3", black, not bad-looking.
Okay, have him call me back
at 877-504-8423.
Okay, wait. My phone pad's empty.
All right, got it.
Hello?
Get up.
Are you gonna tell me the truth?
Are you gonna tell me why you're here, why this is happening
and none of it makes sense? None of it.
What if you had to tell someone the most important thing in the world,
but you knew they'd never believe you?
What would you do?
I'd try.
You never know what someone might believe.
I don't understand what's... What's happening.
I gotta hurry up and get down there.
Why are you the only one who can stop him?
Well, because I'm the only one that knows his plan.
I'm the only one that knows where he's gonna be
and exactly what he's gonna do.
How do you know that?
I mean, how'd you know those things about me?
Well, for the sake of argument,
let's just say that the government has a special device
that allows me to know what's gonna happen ahead of time.
Then how come you didn't know I was gonna pull a gun on you?
I did. No, I didn't.
- Is that okay? - Yeah, it's good.
One second.
- I think that's gonna stay. Is that okay? - Yeah, it's great.
Okay.
- All right. I'm not very good at this. - You're very good.
What's the matter?
Jesus.
I haven't changed a thing.
I gotta go. And you gotta go with me. Come on.
What?
- I thought you said I was safe now. - I was wrong. I was wrong.
You gotta go with me now. Right now.
Wait, wait, wait! Don't answer it.
Don't answer it. I'll prove it to you.
That's your friend Beth calling.
Let the machine pick it up. She's gonna say,
"Hi, Claire. It's Beth. Are you there? I'm sorry to call you so early,
"but when you didn't call me last night I got worried."
Claire? Hi, it's Beth. Are you there?
I'm sorry to call you so early,
but you said you were gonna call me when you got home,
and when you didn't, I started to get worried.
- Beth, is this a joke? - Oh, hey, hey! No.
Like I said, I was just worried about you, that's all.
I can't talk right now. Someone's here. I'll call you later.
Claire...
Believe me, the only one you're gonna be safe with is me.
- Okay. - Let's go.
I don't understand.
Why not just call the police and have them arrest him at the dock?
He'll set the bomb off right there on the spot.
He can't know he's been compromised
until it's too late for him to do anything about it.
He'll set the timer, walk away on foot, get on his motorcycle
and ride to the Crescent City Bridge to watch.
Okay, then what? You defuse the bomb?
Then I defuse the bomb.
There's my truck.
- All these people. - There he is.
Where?
You see the military jacket coming this way?
It's just what you said.
All right, you see those officers behind you?
- Yeah. - When the ferry pulls off,
I want you to tell them about the bomb, all right?
- They'll believe me? - They better believe you.
- Come on, they'll arrest me. - They won't arrest you.
They'll take you into custody. You'll be fine. That's a good thing.
Don't turn around.
Doug...
Be careful.
Your attention, please.
Passengers are not allowed on the car deck
when the ferry is in motion.
Sir! Sir.
Excuse me, sir, you're gonna have to move to the upper deck.
- Passengers aren't allowed here. - Okay.
Can't believe it. They're right on time.
Let's get these boys to their party.
Mama!
Excuse me, sir? Sir!
There's no passengers allowed on the car deck during transit.
No passengers allowed, sir.
Let's go! Let's go!
It's destiny, Oerstadt.
Satan reasons like a man, but God thinks of eternity.
What did you say?
I'm saying it's gonna take a little divine intervention here, buddy.
I'm coming out.
What'd you say?
I thought you were a patriot.
Oh, I am.
Patriotism requires sacrifice.
- I'm willing to sacrifice. - Yeah? Who? Her? Me?
You're willing to sacrifice others, but not yourself.
The Tree of Liberty must be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Right.
Sometimes a little human collateral is the cost of freedom, isn't it?
Who are you, Oerstadt?
Who are you?
It's not supposed to be this way.
You all right?
- I killed him. - No, you didn't. I did.
It's 10:48 on Fat Tuesday, Mardi Gras.
Now let's go back in time to 1964.
- We're gonna die. - No, we're not.
... on 105.3 FM, the heart of New Orleans.
Hit the gas.
Hit the gas!
Put your hands in the air and step out of the vehicle now!
We get out now, everybody dies.
You have until the count of three!
Hit it.
One...
But my daughter's on that ferry. Please. Please.
Oh, God, my daughter!
Chrissie!
- Oh, Chrissie! Chrissie! - It's my mom!
Mom!
Ma'am? We're gonna need you to stay right here.
Someone's on the way over to take a statement
and ask you some questions, okay?
- Bobby. - Doug.
- How you doing? - All right.
Got a live one over here. Pulled her out of the drink.
Somehow involved in all of this.
Okay.
- How you doing? - Doug?
That's right.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Have we met?
Yeah. Yeah, we have.
It's okay. Come on.
Come on.
- You okay? - Yeah.
- You sure? - Yeah.
Okay. I'll get you warmed up.
What is it?
Doug.
What if you had to tell someone the most important thing in the world,
but you knew they'd never believe you?
I'd try.
No.
