"[Wedeck] On October 6th, the planet blacked out for two minutes and 17 seconds." "The whole world saw the future." "[Mark] In my flash forward, I was investigating what caused all this." "I seemed to have an idea why all of this was happening." "Priority number one:" "Finding out what caused this." "Priority number two is figuring out whether or not it'll happen again." "What if I didn't see anything because six months from now I'm gonna be dead?" " D. Gibbons is a bad man." "Tracy was killed in Afghanistan." "But in my flash forward, she's alive." "You're worried..." "your future's gonna come true." "I'm worried mine won't." "[Cell phone ringing]" "This is Demetri." "[Woman] Mr. Noh, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I'm calling in response to your Mosaic board posting." "Who is this?" "How'd you get this number?" "I can't divulge that, but I can tell you my vision involved you." " Go on." " In my flash forward," "I was reading an intelligence briefing." "And..." "I am sorry, there is no delicate way to say this, but on March 15th, 2010 you are going to be murdered." "What?" "What the hell are you talking about?" "I understand why you're upset." "But my hope is by telling you what I know, you will be able to prevent your murder from happening." " Did your briefing say who killed me?" " I'm afraid not." " Well, what did it say, then?" " That you were an agent from the American FBI, and that you were shot three times in the chest." "You gotta give me more to go on here." "What?" " What kind of briefing was this?" " I'm sorry, I have to end this call." "No." "Wait!" "Wait!" "Hello?" "Hello?" "[Phone beeping]" " Hello?" "Hello?" " [woman] We're sorry." " Your call cannot be completed." " [Shouting] Come on!" "[Speaking German]" "[Chuckles]" "We're trapped in here." "We have to get out." " I'm freezing." " [girl] At least you have fur." "[Olivia] Hey, Nicole." "It's Olivia again." "Look, babe, we're not mad." "OK?" "We're just worried about you." "So can you please call and let us know you're all right?" "OK." "We'll speak to you soon." "Bye." "Man, we got to cover for Nicole again." "I can pick Charlie up after school." "Take her to work with me." " Sure?" " Yeah." "We're sifting through blackout intel from Interpol and such." "I'll welcome the distraction." " [Doorbell rings] - [Olivia] OK." "Oh, that's Aaron." " Aaron's coming here?" " The phone's broke." "Said he'd take a look." "I just called Nicole." "Yeah." "Problems with my work line." "You called me from your work phone, said it was urgent." "And now you're lying to Olivia?" "[Scoffs] If you want to prevent the future and save your marriage, first step isn't keeping secrets from your wife." "Take that from a guy who's already been divorced." "This is different." "It's about Charlie." " What happened?" " You know how she's been freaking out about what she saw, right?" "There's a guy we've been investigating." "We've been calling him "D. Gibbons."" "Charlie's vision had to do with him." "She knew who he was." "She said, "D. Gibbons is a bad man."" "How's that even possible?" "In my flash forward, masked gunmen were coming into the office." "Maybe D. Gibbons is connected to them." "You think whoever is supposed to be after you will come after Charlie?" "What if this whole investigation circles back on me?" "Isn't that always a risk with your line of work?" "Shouldn't you be talking to somebody down at your office?" "Blackout's changed everything." "I'll tell you what I'd do." "Father to father." "If someone's gonna hurt your family, the best thing to do is catch them before they can." "The world's changed." "Maybe the rules need to change a little, too." "If it were up to me, I'd do whatever I had to do." "[Man] Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain." "Welcome aboard Flight 82 for Los Angeles." "We've gotten the OK to push back as soon as all carry-ons and personal items are safely stowed." " So you flying to home or from?" " To." "Back to my fiancé." "I've been stuck here since the blackout." "But now that the airlines are up and running again," "I hopped on the first flight they were offering." "What were you doing in Seattle?" "I'm a lawyer." "Criminal defense." "What about you?" "Why are you flying?" "I have to." "I'm the CEO of the airline." "All the executives are taking flights today." "To prove to our customers that the skies are safe again." " How's that working out for you?" " Gangbusters." "Another Scotch." " Al." " Yo!" " Can I ask you a favor?" " Sure." "What do you need?" "I got a call last night from an unknown number." "Can you have the tech guys back-trace it, see if they can identify the cell sites it was routed through?" "What's the priority on this?" "Nuclear." " How's it going?" " Let me put it this way." "I miss the good old days when law enforcement didn't share their leads with each other." "We're gonna be cashing in our pensions before we finish sifting through this." "Kingdom of Tonga." "Now, who knew they even had an intelligence agency?" "They're blaming the flash forwards on phytoplankton blooms." "Well, I'll see your boring and raise you an insane." ""The flash forwards were caused by a toxic gas that was released from deep within the earth as a result of crustal rifting."" "So the earth farted and we blacked out." " That makes sense to me." " [Laughing]" "Well, at least this one's vetted by our Legats in Germany." "Apparently, there's a prisoner, a former Nazi, a Rudolf Geyer, who's claiming to know why the blackouts lasted exactly 137 Sekunden." "Sekunden, that's German for "seconds."" "Wait a minute." "The guy who sent this in, do you have a picture of him?" "That's him." "He was on my board." "We gotta follow up on this." "Based on what, Mark, your Spidey-sense?" "No." "Something spookier." "The Nazi's report mentions Mark by name." "Let me see if I got this right." "We got agents working 24l7 to identify the two guys who were awake during the blackout." "This week alone, I've gotta figure out how to eulogize eight dead agents." "And you want to fly to Germany to talk to a Nazi?" "Well, a former Nazi." "Well, that just makes me feel so much better." "Geyer requested a meeting with me, specifically." " How does he even know you?" " [Mark] I have no idea." "But he says he can explain why the blackout lasted 137 seconds, and he won't talk unless I see him face-to-face." "In the meantime, you're getting nowhere with tracking down Suspect Zero or D. Gibbons." "NSA's still working on the Suspect Zero video, and we're running down digital forensics from D. Gibbons' cell phone." "But for all we know, it's Geyer's information that'll lead us to them." "Book the flights." "[Woman] Flight 2962, non-stop service from Dallas/Fort Worth, is now ready for boarding at gate 2-A." "I thought I was never gonna see you again." "Me too." "So can I tell you now?" " Tell me what?" " What I saw." "My flash forward." " Zo..." " Hey, what's the big deal, babe?" "It's not like we didn't see the same thing." "Here." "We could talk." " Or..." " Or?" " We could go to a motel." " Oh." "I like your thinking, stinking." "[Horn honking]" "[Glasses clinking]" "What can I get you?" "Just a soda water, Kate." "What the hell are you doing here?" "Our daughter's alive, Kate." "I saw her during the blackout." "In my vision, I was with her." "She was wounded." "I think it might've been somewhere in Afghanistan." "Are you sure you weren't dead?" "Maybe you were in heaven with her." "Yeah, you might want to check on that with your higher power." "I'm serious." "You know what people have been saying." "This is real." " Glimpses of what's to come." " [Chuckles]" ""What's to come?"" "You want to know what I saw?" "This." "Yeah, I was doing the same thing I'm doing now." "Same thing I've been doing the past five years." "And those sorry-ass regulars there?" "They were here too." "What you saw was wishful thinking." "Let her go, Aaron." "I can't." "Not when I know she needs me." "She's out there, I'm positive." "She's dead!" "She's buried!" "This isn't about some vision." "This is about you coming up with a fantasy because you feel guilty." "You're the reason she went into the military." " That's not true." " Of course it is!" "She's Daddy's little girl, following in your footsteps." "Why are you doing this, anyway?" " What the hell do you want from me?" " Hey." "Stop!" "It's all right." "I just want your signature." "I need you to sign an affidavit so I can exhume her remains." "Well, you're not gonna get it, Aaron." "So why don't you just take this and go?" "I'm gonna find her, Kate, whether you help me or not." "And when I do, I'll let you know." " [Zoey exhaling] - [Demetri laughing]" "This is the second time I've blacked out this week." "[Laughing]" "[Sighing]" "Now can I tell you about what I saw?" "OK." "It was our wedding." "It was on a beach." "Hamoa Beach in Hawaii, I think." "Where we went last spring?" "It was so peaceful." "The wind and the waves." "Everything was perfect." " And you saw me there?" " Yeah." "Did you see me?" "Yeah." "Of course I saw you." "In that white dress." "Barefoot." "Baby, you were so beautiful." "It's just like you described." "You realize that's gonna be our wedding day, don't you?" "April 29th?" "D-Day?" "With all that's happened, baby, I'm not sure we should can't you just fall back and let the future happen like it's supposed to?" "[Sighing]" "[Thunder crashing]" " Welcome to Munich." " Agent Benford." "Agent Hawk." " Stefan Krieger." " Hello." "I'll be your BND liaison during your stay." "Thanks for arranging this meeting on such short notice." "You're here as guests of the German government." "You have no actual authority and will proceed with appropriate decorum." " Agreed?" " Agreed." "There are a lot of ghosts here." "Isn't this where Sophie Scholl and the rest of the White Rose Nazi resistance group were executed?" "If I'm not mistaken, your country eradicated its indigenous Indian population, and practiced institutionalized slavery for over... 250 years." "We also gave the world Britney Spears." "Rudolf Geyer may present himself as a frail, forgetful old man." "But I should remind you that he managed to elude capture for more than half a century, spending at least 20 of those years within your own US borders." "He's an unrepentant murderer." "His entire existence has been based on dissemblance and falsehood." " Never forget that." " [Door buzzing]" "Herr Geyer." "Gentlemen." "And lady." "I've looked forward to meeting you, Herr Benford, for quite some time." " How did you know my name?" " I saw it in my vision." "You said you had information about the flash forward." "About how long they lasted." "It's not quite that simple, I'm afraid." "You see, before my unfortunate incarceration," "I lived in America and I learned how you can't get something for nothing." "We've anticipated this, Herr Geyer." "Upon verification of your information, you will be transferred to a minimum-security facility." "[Speaks German]" "But I had more than a gesture in mind." "I want to return to America and all charges against me are dropped." " You're dreaming." " [Man] I'm not permitting my client to breathe a word of what he knows without getting his pardon first." "I believe we have what's called "a game of chicken."" "Who do you think will blink first?" "Before you answer, consider the fact I have nothing to lose." "He's playing us." "Think about it, this is win-win for him." "At best, he's just jerking us around for a few days' entertainment." "And at worst, he goes free and..." "We'll figure out a way to cover ourselves if he's lying." "You heard his lawyer, they're not gonna let us cover ourselves." "Mark, this is full pardon or nothing." " That's what Geyer's gonna give us." " We don't know that." "We know Geyer's important to our case six months from now," " which means, Janis..." " [Janis] Listen to yourself." "Mark, six months from now?" "Come on, the only thing we know at this point is how much we don't know." "Mark, you're talking about letting a mass murderer go free in exchange for potentially nothing." "Janis, there are several billion people, several billion, who need answers." "That's not nothing." "They need to know why it happened, whether it'll happen again." "The guy makes me sick." "But he's 86 years old." "He's on his way out." "As much as I'd like to personally help him on his way, I have to ask myself, if the ends don't justify the means here." "They never do, Mark." "And you know, Geyer's age is irrelevant." "There's no statute of limitations on evil." "Geyer deserves his punishment." "His victims deserve him getting that punishment, and you can't take that away from them on a hope." " [Felicia] How's Mark handling this?" " Usual way." "He's throwing himself into work." "How about Stan?" "The same." "Since becoming bureau assistant director, he's convinced he has to work twice as hard as everybody else in the bureau." "He's pulled two all-nighters in a row working on this eulogy for the memorial service." " Oh, right." " Like if he found just the right words, he can bring these agents back to life." "Mark's convinced what he saw in his flash forward is gonna save us all." "So, Mark saw himself saving the world." "And what did you see?" "Hey, honey." "Nothing important." "How about you?" "I was home." "I was in Jason's room." "But all of his stuff was gone." " That makes sense." "He's in college?" " He still comes home for holidays." "But in my vision, everything was gone and replaced by a young boy's things." "He was about eight or nine years old, and I was putting him to bed." "Good night, Mom." "Good night, Attaf." "[Olivia] You've never seen this kid before?" "No." "No, never." "But people are saying these visions are real." "So I don't know how, but in the next six months, this little boy's gonna come into my life and I'm gonna be his mom." "[Chuckles] I refuse to believe these visions are random." "There is a purpose." "I just..." "I know it." "[Rudolf] We have a compromise to suggest:" "One piece of information now and one later." "An offer of proof." "You verify certain aspects of my client's flash forward, pardon him, then he will give you the remainder of what he knows." "Fine." "The 137 seconds." "Why?" "In my time at Treblinka," "I, uh, obviously came into contact with many Jews." "I also came to learn about certain aspects" " of their beliefs, their culture..." " Is this going somewhere?" "Tell me, Ms. Hawk." "Why do you wear a ring on your left thumb?" "What's it matter?" "In some Eastern European countries, where homosexuality is illegal, a ring on a woman's left thumb is considered an indication of her proclivities." "What does this have to do with anything?" "Everything and nothing." "I am merely referencing a certain kind of code." "I will now make a reference to another kind of code." "Have you heard of Kabbalah?" "It's a set of esoteric teachings." "Jewish mysticism." "In Kabbalah, everything has a hidden meaning." "This is the word spelled in Hebrew." "And each letter in the Hebrew alphabet is ascribed a number." "And if you add up these numbers, you arrive at 137." "Exactly the number of seconds that the blackout lasted." "Listen to me!" "The only reason I'm sharing the same air as you is because you said you've got relevant information, and you've got exactly one minute to prove that to me or I'm gone." "You won't leave." "Not yet." "I have information that will prove crucial to your investigation." "And I know it because in my flash forward," "I was being repatriated to the United States." "And I had bought my freedom with the second piece of information which I am prepared to share with you." "What did you see?" "[Rudolf] I was in an American airport." "I don't know which one." "I was clearing through immigration." "There was a young man who was processing my documents." "I remember he had a name tag that read "Jerome Murphy."" "Disappointing." "Agent Benford's not here to welcome me home." "[Chuckling]" "Coming back from Germany, ya?" "[Chuckling]" "Returning home, actually." "And I have a murder to thank for it." "A murder?" "Whose murder?" "This is just our offer of proof." "Locate this customs agent, this J. Murphy, compare his flash forward to my client's confirm he's telling the truth." "[Stefan] Are you enjoying watching us jump through your hoops?" "I hope you are because you're never leaving this prison, Geyer." "I will leave." "On April 29, 2010." "It is a future that has already happened." "I can't believe you're running with this." "Let's just see if his flash forwards proves out." "If it does, Geyer's free in six months time," " which means he's telling us the truth." " Or a lie we believed." "Are you OK with this?" "[Cell phone ringing]" " Benford." " Hey, it's me." "You got a minute?" " [Mark] Aaron." "What's up?" " I need a favor." "A big favor." "It's for Tracy." "I wanna get her remains exhumed, test them against the DNA the military's got on file for her." " Aaron..." " Tell you what," "I'll listen to any "this isn't a good idea" speeches you gotta give, if you can swear you wouldn't do the exact same thing if it were Charlie." "OK." "You fax over the paperwork, I'll push it through." "There's no paperwork, 'cause it's not signed, and it's not signed 'cause..." "it needs Kate's signature." "I need you to push through more than paperwork here." " Aaron, that's..." " I said it was a big favor." "Leaving aside the illegality..." "Have you thought about what'll happen if the results come back positive and the person in that grave is Tracy?" "I saw her, Mark." " I saw her alive." " What you saw was impossible." "That's what makes it a leap of faith, Mark." "You've never taken a leap of faith?" "Mark, I'm a little busy right now, all right?" "Yeah, I'm sorry, I'm just..." "Everything's fine with Zoey." "Listen, I'll take care of it." "You tell him I'll call when I've got the warrant." "OK." " A warrant for a customs officer?" " Bye." "No." "That's... something else." "Listen, Marcie ran through the TSA employee database, and there aren't any J. Murphys working Customs at any of the airports" " in the continental United States." " Did you check applicants?" "No, Geyer said he spoke to an actual officer." "Six months from now." "Our guy might not be working Customs yet." "Have Marcie check." "If she finds something, run it down." "There a problem?" "My head's just not in the game today, boss." " Demetri?" " Yeah?" "Get it in the game." "[Distant dog barking]" "[Muffled music playing]" "Hello?" "Hello?" "Hello?" "[# KC and the Sunshine Band:" "Boogie Shoes]" "Hey." "Hey!" "Jerome Murphy?" "FBI." "Can we have a minute?" "Like, you're saying I make it?" "I'm gonna be a customs official?" "Man, I saw it, but I didn't really believe it, you know?" "This rocks, dude." "I totally thought I blew the physical." " Do I get a gun and stuff?" " Jerome!" "I need you to focus here, OK?" "I'm trying to corroborate a suspect's flash forward, and he claims that you were in it." " Do you understand?" " Yeah." "Sure." "No problem." " What's "corroborate" mean?" " [Clears throat]" "I need you to tell me whether you saw the same thing in your flash forward as this guy claims he saw in his." "[Gasps] I know that dude." "I was working at an airport." "It felt good, you know?" "The badge, uniform." "It gave me purpose, you know?" "Coming back from Germany, ya?" "[Chuckling]" "I woke up after the blackout, applied the next day." "Do you remember anything else?" "Anything odd?" "Come to think of it, he did." "He said something about a murder." "I have a murder to thank for it." "I figured I just misheard him." "All right." "I might be in touch." " I can explain that." " That's OK." "I know what a bong is." "That's not mine." "It's... my roommate's." "Look, uh... homeslice if I get tagged for this, that's it for me." "They won't hire me with a drug bust on my record." " It does seem unlikely, yeah." " But..." "I was doing it." "I saw myself doing the job." "I saw myself wearing that uniform." "It wouldn't have happened if you bust me." "It won't happen if you bust me." "I mean..." "What I'm saying here is, it's up to you whether or not my future happens." " Your drink?" " Thank you." "Buy you a drink?" "No, thanks." "To moral relativism." "I'm sorry this is bothering you so much." "Well, I'm sorry this isn't bothering you at all." " Don't make this personal." " [Janis] Don't hide behind the badge." "You're the one driving this thing, Mark." "You are." "Just own it, at least." "Fine." "I've been driving this." "It's what we do, Janis." "We give the dealer a pass to get the distributor." "We let the foot soldier walk to bust the kingpin." "But there have to be some limits, Mark." "There have to be people that we won't deal or flip." "And I'm sorry, but if we can't even draw that line at a Nazi... [scoffs] I just don't even know what we're doing anymore." "Have you ever taken a leap of faith?" "What's that got to do with anything?" "I'm pushing this because I have faith that seeing Geyer's picture in my flash forward means" " his information will be important." " There you go." "There's our problem because, in my flash forward, all I saw was a baby that I don't even know I want." "So, how can I have faith in something I'm not even sure is real?" "Then you've got a problem because that's what faith is." "[Cell phone ringing]" "Benford." "Dem found your Nazi's customs agent." " Same flash forward." " So he's telling the truth." "[Wedeck] I'll put a call into State, have them start the arm-twisting of the German government." " You sure?" " Hell, no." "Something tells me I better get used to that particular feeling." "We all better." "The world's changed." "Some of us, all of us, are making decisions now based on what will happen, not what could." "It makes us do things we wouldn't ordinarily do." "You'd think knowing the future would make us less concerned about it." "But just the opposite has happened." "The future is what all of us are living for now." "It's what we're living by." "Hey, D, we got nothing on your unknown caller." "Tech traced it to somewhere off the New York coast, but from there, they read the signal as coming from two different sites at once." "Whoever it was, they know how to cover their tracks." "Thanks for trying." "Hey." "Can you pull the LUDs off those two repeater sites?" "There's probably a million or so calls routed through those towers." "At least." "[Door buzzing]" "[Door opening]" "You can't do this!" "You need my government's consent to free Geyer," " my superiors would never..." " Signed off... five minutes ago." "Congratulations." "You're a free man." "Just like that." "Start talking." "[Chuckling]" "I blacked out, as we all did." "The flash forward happened, as I described." "Then, I woke up." "I went to my window and I saw the city burning in the distance." "And on the ground, the courtyard outside  I saw crows." "They were dead." " Dead crows." " The ground was littered with them." "A murder of crows." "In proper parlance, a grouping of crows." "What the hell does this have to do with the Kabbalah and 137 seconds?" "Nothing, Fräulein." "I have no idea why the blackout lasted as long as it did." "So what, it was all crap?" " The Kabbalah, the birds..." " The crows were real." "They were dying outside my window." "That must mean something." " Tell us!" " I can't tell you what I don't know." "Please take this." "I have no further use for it." "But I believe you will, Herr Benford." "In my vision, I knew that I'd be freed because of what I told you about the crows dying." "It could be helpful in your investigation." "How helpful it will be..." "we'll just have to see." "Then you'll rot in here until we do." "Ah, my attorney is here to prevent that, Herr Krieger." "You played us." "The future will tell whether it's true." "But, in the meantime, I am, as you said, however a free man." "[# Smashing Pumpkins:" "To Sheila]" "Mmm..." "Hey, you look horrendous." "Glad I accomplished at least something with this trip." "It went badly?" "As bad as it could've gone without getting shot at, yeah." "My mom, she always says, "Live in the now."" "How the hell is anyone supposed to do that anymore?" "Come here." " What you doing?" " What am I doing?" "Mmm, what you doing?" " Living in the now." " Oh, living in the now." "Well, I guess my mom's advice wasn't so bad after all." "Not so bad, huh?" "[Chuckles]" " Hi, Jack." " Hey." "He's been here for a while." "Hasn't asked me to pour a drop." "But you can tell he's thinking about it hard." "I can't be too sure, since I had a few yesterday, but I thought I was pretty particular about not wanting to see you again." "Yeah, well..." "I figured you'd make an exception for good news." "You were right." "The body the remains Tracy's grave." "You were right." "I'm sorry I went behind your back." "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you." "It's OK." "[# Jeff Buckley:" "Lover You Should've Come Over]" "It's all gonna be OK." "There are no words for this." "None that mean half a damn, anyway." "The people we love are gone, and they're not coming back." "And we'll miss them." "But things are going to get better." "The sun's gonna rise on a new day." "I know it doesn't... feel like it will." "But that dawn is coming." "There's hope." "One of the agents here repeated to me something that a friend had mentioned to him." "And he said, "We're all prophets now."" "And, you know, I can't think of a prophet worth a damn that didn't suffer." "And I also can't think of a prophet that God didn't love." "Good night, Mom." "This little boy's gonna come into my life, and I'm gonna be his mom." "Absent friends." "[All] Absent friends." "[Demetri] How many of these speeches have been given since the blackout?" "Gotta figure something like this is happening every day." "All over the world." "All over the world." "Huh." "[Mark] All over the world..." "All over the world." "I need your help with something." " What?" " Excuse me." "Just come on." "I'm a raindrop, and I'm falling for you." "[Chuckling] What?" "That's how you tried to pick me up, remember?" " I would never use that line." " Mm-hm." "I said, um... you owed me a drink for shredding my ass on the witness stand." "I did shred your ass, but I left all the good parts." " You all right?" " Yeah, yeah." "Yeah." " Let's do it." " What?" "The D-Day wedding." "Let's do it." "Are you sure?" "The other day..." "The other day was the other day." "I, uh..." "Today..." " I want us to make our future happen." " Yeah?" "Baby!" "OK, just go with me on this for a second." "It says here that the Audubon Society tracks bird population trends, OK?" "I need you to look up the worldwide crow population for, say, the last year." "There." "See that dip?" "The day of the blackout." "Geyer said that crows died outside his cell, but it wasn't just in Germany." "Crows died all over the world during the blackout." "[Exhaling] Mark and I say this with love, who gives a damn?" "Look and see if there were any other instances of crow populations plummeting like this." "Ganwar region of Somalia, 1991, all the crows died on the same day." "Mark, who cares?" "Why did we set up Mosaic?" "To look for patterns." "Thanks to Geyer, we now know crows died all over the world during the blackout." "Search on Ganwar and the date those crows died." "Just one hit." "A CDC request for additional funding from DHS." "You know, Mark, this is just anecdotal." "Look, they don't even have any corroboration." "No, no." "Wait, wait, wait." ""CDC doctors traveled to the Ganwar Region in response to claims that the inhabitants suffered a mass loss of consciousness."" "Janis, we've been so worried the blackout might happen again, we haven't stopped to ask ourselves what if it happened before?" "[Goats bleating]" "[Frenzied bleating]" "[Crows cawing]"
