THE DEATH OF IMMORTALITY
- Cooper? - Yes.
Don't look at my face!
Just follow me.
Right turn!
Forward march!
- Is this the time machine? - Yes.
So we can move in the time, right?
And can I go other places in the distant future? - Yes. After your training you'll get a special task.
- And how far is it prepared to go? - Until the end of time.
Where the sun blows up. - The sun'll blow up?
Yes, the sun will become Supernova.
We use the energy of the blast to run the time machine.
- And what will happen to the humanity? - All humans will die.
It's crazy.
So everything we've created burns to the ground?
Then what the hell is the point of it all? - We just want to live safety.
And you're gonna help me in this.
And I can never go back to my era?
And I can never see my parents again?
Don't be a child!
By the way, we've changed your era.
And it's necessary to turn your body into little atoms.
But be careful. It's like a floating feeling.
- Technician Harlan! - I'm here, Computer.
Do you know what this is?
A punchcard. This will be my next task?
No.
This is computer Fincs' report.
And what do I have to do with it?
This report is made about you.
Fincs accuses you, because you investigate the history of primitive times.
And he thinks, it's dangerous. Just nostalgia for the past.
He suggests that you must be replaced, immediately.
Who are you?
Rumor has it that I was born old.
My wisdom's like a cybernetic brain.
And when I sleep I always carry a hand analyzer in my pajamas pocket
and my blood cells are like floating oil space-time punchcards.
So you're putting me under arrest, Computer Vissell.
No, my son.
You're gonna work for me by Fincs' report.
You'll be my own personal tecnician.
You'll teach Cooper to the history of primitive times.
This project is a secret mission and I'll control and process personal data.
But who is Cooper?
This doesn't concern you.
You understand?
Yes.
Welcome, Technician Harlan!
Hello, Computer Fincs.
While you were in the 480th century some strange things were happening.
It's a very delicate matter.
This is why we need accurate obserration.
It's very important.
And you want me to be the observer?
Well, you're just a technician, but before,
you were here as an observer.
And you're the best known expert of the era.
Connector!
Come to me!
I'm here!
- There is a woman in Computer Fincs' room. - Yes.
How is it possible?
You're thinking of the girl?
She is beautiful.
Answer my question!
- She's come from the 480th century. - But what is she doing here?
How do I know?
Maybe she is the boss' secretary.
Her name is Noys Lambent.
Computer Fincs!
I propose that send Noys Lambent back to the 480th century.
Maybe you think she is unfit for the work?
She doesn't belong here.
What are you thinking about?
She dresses too sexy.
Wait a minute!
You were here the observer.
So you know very well the 480th century is an erotic, oversexed era.
And her dress is not flagrant in her own environment.
But here I find it scandalous.
She doesn't stay here long.
Her mission will be special.
I can imagine what a special mission could this woman have.
And as I said before I find it scandalous.
Technician, stop it now!
You can't command me. Those days are gone.
Listen, Harlan.
Let me live.
But let me ask you something, Harlan. Have you ever had a girlfriend?
A man who works here can't marry.
It can confuse him.
Who's talking about marrige?
The Allwhen Council is the only who may authorize the person to marriage.
Now you're talking like a computer.
But have you ever asked permission for marriage?
No.
But you need a woman.
It helps to broaden your horizons.
It's not always possible to deal with work.
You live here like a monk.
I resolutely reject this provocation.
You're Technician Harlan, aren't you?
Yes.
I heard you're an expert of my era.
Yes.
I'd like to talk to you when you have time.
I don't have time.
I really appreciate you giving me some time.
Leave me alone.
I give you this job, Harlan, because I trust you.
You know everything. Good luck!
You can't expect me to use that woman's house for monitoring station.
Why? Do you have a problem with her?
No!
No. But your tactic is too obvious.
Just leave me alone. I don't care about your girl problems.
How do I create a report if I live with her for a week?
Who said you must report to me?
It would be my duty.
You just have to carry out the order.
I'm the boss here!
By the way, the Allwhen Council and Computer Twissell will not oppose your mission.
In the 480th century people know about the time tunnel.
And they want to use it because they think we're immortal.
They must forget us
and for that need your help.
This is my house. Do you like it?
No.
The architect is the greatest artist of this era. It was modelled after me.
Unsuitable shapes.
So don't you like it?
No.
- Harlan? - No, thank you.
- Why are you angry with me? - I'm not angry.
You have been here for days and don't want to talk to me.
I didn't come here to talk to you.
I think, you're a great man.
I'm a technician.
Fincs said you made our world this way.
Unfortunately.
Allegedly the starships were destroyed by you.
Hmm, you know too much, Noys.
But why did you do that?
Because later the spaceflight would have caused huge disasters.
So it was the only way you can live peacefully and happily.
You look tired.
Have a drink with me!
I don't drink... Especially during work.
Even the technician needs a rest sometimes.
Aren't you a robot?
How old are you?
32.
I'm 27.
I really envy you because you'll never be old.
Why are you talking like that?
You'll live forever because you're immortal.
Oh, come on.
We born and we all die the same way.
You can visit all century in the time tunnel
and I want to be immortal.
Make me immortal!
Why aren't here other women?
Because then all men overflow with passion
and want normal family life.
And they wouldn't be able to do their work safely.
What do you think?
Would I be able to arouse the passion?
Think about Cooper.
Why do you teach him the history of primitive times?
But the time tunnel can't lead you to the primitive times.
Harlan, what do you want with him?
- What did you say? - Nothing.
- How do you know Cooper? - Never heard of him.
I remember something... Something you said.
Are you angry with me?
I shouldn't be
angry with you.
So what's wrong with love, Harlan?
I don't have permission for it.
Permission for love?
I feel like you'll be my muse.
Who's that?
Wait a minute, there's something I have to do.
I'll be right back.
Who's here?
Stop or I'll shoot!
How go the studies, Cooper?
You've been away so long. I thought you don't want to teach me.
And what have you learned since then?
Boring things.
Mallansohn's habits.
Really?
And why on earth do you learn things like that?
It's just Senior Computer Twissell's instruction.
And of course math, math and more math.
And what kind of math?
I'm not gonna say... It's a secret.
Secret?
All right.
Listen, Harlan.
I've read these 20th century magazines but I don't understand something.
What don't you understand?
What is the point of such a magazine?
Advertising. It must obviously use means that catch people's attention.
Anyone can do it who pays for advertising.
It's indecent to offer your product in this way.
The advertising is a specific phenomenon of the primitive era.
We'll talk about this later.
Listen, Cooper!
Have you changed something on you?
What?
What do you mean?
Well, maybe the moustache.
Yes, your moustache.
A Mallansohn moustache.
And why do you grow that? - All pupils wear moustaches here.
We wanna be like Mallansohn.
Mallansohn is a genius who created the theory of time travel.
By the way, Senior Computer Twissell ordered me to wear moustache.
So he ordered you.
Your report is inacurrate.
What does that mean?
My reports are accurate as usual.
But something left out.
Something dirty. - Stop it now!
Stop!
I expected your violence.
All technician become violent from women.
Stop!
Or you'll regret it.
This is a neuronic whip. One false move and you'll get electric shock.
You attacked me, Harlan.
It's a capital crime.
The winds have changed.
The Allwhen Council will sentence you to death.
I don't care about the Allwhen Council.
You think that we don't have death penalty?
But you're wrong.
We just put you on a plane and blow you up.
And you're a dead man.
I'm not an ordinary technician. You understand?
Yes, but it doesn't mean that you can do anything.
We live by rigorous laws.
I don't care about your rules anymore.
If I want I could easily destroy you all.
Let's sit down.
Let's talk about it.
That woman drives you crazy.
I know you have plans with Noys.
Nonsense.
You're jealous because Noys chose me.
You're so rash. You who are here the most fearsome technician.
So what do you think? Why did she choose you?
Because of your two lovely eyes?
A dry stump like you?
She sold herself to you.
Don't insult Noys!
No, Harlan, no!
I hate violence.
Let's talk sense about it.
In the 480th century people are extremely motivated
and they wanted to break out from the solar system.
But you destroyed the spaceships and stopped the outbreak.
And this means you've created an egoist, passionate and sick society.
What else could I've done?
That was the only way to stop the spaceflight.
It's true, but they've become selfish
and they want to know everything about us.
And Noys wants to know...
The fact that Noys swept you off your feet the situation's become more serious.
So you're saying that I was used as a test subject.
Yes.
You were the test subject.
And Noys' beautiful body was the trap.
And you fell into this trap from the beginning.
It seems
you're not as clever as I thought.
But on the whole it means real danger to themselves. Don't you understand?
Noys loves me.
You're completely lost your mind.
Noys knew that you were an insider and she wanted to enter the time tunnel.
And she slept with you.
She who didn't really care about love in her century.
In that century they do it just for fun and you who's created that era take it seriosly.
Let's go to the Central Computer!
- What do you want? - Come on!
- Don't do anything crazy! - Go ahead!
Harlan!
Okay.
Let's go.
Connector!
Enter these data into the central computer.
- I only follow Computer Fincs' orders. - Hurry, we don't have enough time!
As you command.
I'm here, Computer Fincs.
By Technician Harlan's report we're gonna modify the 480th century.
This cassette includes Noys Lambent's data.
Ask the central computer what will happen to her after the modification.
But you need special authority for this, Computer Fincs.
This is a special case.
I'm ordering you!
I can do it but I'll report all this.
All right.
Harlan, don't do this!
After the modification she will be destorted.
Computer Fincs, are you listening?
Is it ready?
The computer says the subject will disappear after the modification.
So she will be transformed into something else?
No... She will disappear.
It sounds crazy.
Is this really gonna happen?
Yes, she will disappear without trace.
You will can't find no trace of her anywhere.
Sociologist, you would do well to repair your machine!
Don't insult me! Well, it's not like you're so perfect.
Who's here?
Stop or I'll shoot!
You're back already?
The time machine was set wrong and I met myself.
I could easily have shot myself.
Harlan, you're in trouble.
- You have to come with me right now. - What happend?
Get dressed!
- Harlan, but what are we running from? - This world will disappear in one minute.
- Disappear? - Yes.
- And what will happen with us? - Nothing. Give me your hand.
What do you want to do? You want to cuff me?
Don't worry! This time generator will protect us from the transformation.
You scared me. You're a little scary sometimes.
You will also disappear if I don't get you from here.
What do you mean?
The computer said you will disappear after the modification.
And these peoples and houses?
Most of them will disappear and will be transformed.
This is vile and ignoble. But why do you do this?
- For the sake of humanity. - And is that what they want?
We are the chosen ones.
We move in the time and interfere where we see disturbances.
But what right have you to interfere in their life?
You just fight each other for the domination.
Don't you dare ever say that.
Look!
Now!
- We'll go to the upwhen. - So to the future, right?
To the distant future.
Where we'll ever be safe and not be harmed.
And now you can also be an immortal.
Don't mock me, Harlan.
We can move in the time but we can't live forever.
But then why do you want to be immortal?
- Why are you hurting me? - Speak then!
Why did you do that?
Why do I have to explain everything?
If I do something I want to know why.
I did it for you, Harlan.
For you.
Is that difficult to understand?
To understand?
We're already far from understanding.
And the hunt for us is going to begin.
Think about Cooper.
You've sent him to the primitive era.
If you can get the secret mathematical formulas
you can destroy the time tunnel.
They're in your hands.
How do you know they're in my hands?
I don't know anything.
It's strange. It's like you're trying to speak to me.
Who's stopped the time machine?
I have.
What?
You?
And how do you know to do that?
I don't know. I just accidentally touched the timer.
We're in the 110,345th century... It's really awesome!
One of the hundred of thousands centuries.
It's almost inconceivable.
Strange beings live here who don't allow to enter their times.
Why?
Because they protect themselves against us.
From the 70,000th to 150,000th century
we can't enter their times.
We can just go to the atrium. Come!
Just stay right here.
You're not gonna leave me alone in this mystery world, are you?
I'll be right back.
Don't leave me here, Harlan! I'm afraid.
Don't be afraid!
Well, well, the great technician is fleeing?
Stop!
I got nothing to lose.
I said nothing to them.
Nothing.
I just informed Senior Computer Twissell
that you did your job correctly in the 480th century.
And why should I believe you?
Listen to me, Harlan! I need you.
We can do a lot of things together.
I know you took the woman and hid her.
But I help you to live with her.
I'll get the permission from the Allwhen Council.
What's the hurry, technician?
What's it to you?
Senior Computer Twissell is looking for you.
Just let him look for me.
He's waiting for you in his room.
Let him wait. Get out of my way!
He ordered me to bring you to him.
Get the hell out of my way!
What a crazy technician... ehh.
96, 97, 98, 99.
What happened?
Let's go back a bit.
Then let's see.
96, 97, 98 ,99.
Damn!
There's a temporal barrier at the hundred thousandths century.
I've walked into their trap.
And who knows what about Noys.
If needed
I destroy everything.
What? You're back already?
Who set up the temporal barrier at the 100,000th century?
What are you talking about?
Don't play the innocent with me.
What about Noys?
We didn't hurt Noys.
Don't lie to me!
But I know nothing, Harlan. Nothing.
I'm not a great man.
And I'm oppressed.
But I try to help you.
Because you're worth nothing without me.
Senior Computer Twissell is looking for you.
I've already found him. Thank you.
You're absolutely a little fairy prince of the primitive times.
You walk here and there, you come and go.
Isn't there something you want to tell me?
I have absolutely nothing to say.
You look confused and nervous.
I don't understand myself but it's not surprising.
What's the matter?
The matter? Nothing.
Speak calmly, boy.
You know, I'm not to be taken lightly.
You're my personal technician. Who dares to challenge you?
I got the secret mathematical formulas.
Really?
Hmm, strange.
And how did you get it?
Who would dare to stop a technician?
The literature finds that the time tunnel was discovered
in the 21st century by Mallansohn.
Every pupil knows that.
But it's not possible to make a time tunnel without LeFabre's equations.
And LeFabre lived in the 27th century.
And how did you find out?
Fantastic math skill needed for that.
But there is no scientific evidence.
You have magic brain, son.
I never dreamed that you can solve this mystery.
The existence of the time tunnel must be based on scientific principles.
So we need to send someone to the 21st century
to give LeFabre's equations to Mallansohn.
And this someone is Cooper.
Crystal clear logic!
Awesome!
Fantastic!
What a great mind you have!
I will make you a Senior Computer!
You don't need to be sarcastic. I know my place.
Now you have a serious responsibility,
the fate of the time tunnel is in your hand.
You really think that?
Of course, because you discovered the answer on your own.
But you're wrong about only one thing.
Cooper will give Mallansohn nothing.
Because Cooper is Mallansohn.
Come on, boy, let's get to work.
Cooper becomes Mallansohn?
But it's crazy.
So if I teach something wrong for Cooper
I stop the time travel.
Yes. You changed the 480th century
so you can change us in the same way.
The human life begins to develop in another way.
Probably they try to fly spaceships again,
dangerous adventure,
so space disasters must not be repeated.
By the way, how was the time travel discovered?
Accidentally.
And that's the problem.
There is no good scientific evidence.
There were two things to do:
I take Mallansohn to LeFabre to the 27th century,
or I bring LeFabre's equations to Mallansohn by Cooper
to the 21st century.
But I chose the latter solution.
What is that here?
We wouldn't be able to go back to the 21st century
without this special control cabin.
You'll control Cooper's travel from here.
This is the control cabin.
Well, suddenly I'm so important to you.
You're the most important person.
I think we have to start talking about my conditions.
About your conditions?
You know very well.
You're talking about the girl, aren't you?
If the experiment will be successful you'll get her.
I'm not gonna do anything until she's not here.
And I'll tell Cooper everything.
Don't ever say that!
Cooper will replace Mallansohn, but we don't want Cooper to know.
I've got the most secret document and you couldn't get it.
Here.
This is Mallansohn's memoir.
And you have to act by this memoir.
The smallest possible deviation could change everything.
Go!
Check the switches in the control cabin.
Watch out for the start.
Can you hear me?
I can hear everything perfectly.
Shall I come out?
No, you can't come out. You're locked in.
What an idiot I am. I've walked into the trap.
Listen.
Cooper composed Mallansohn's memoir.
He wrote that he was prepared for the time travel by Senior Computer Twissell
and Technician Harlan taught him the history of primitive times.
I feel like an animal in cage.
Be quiet! I promised you'll get everything you want.
But why did you lock me in?
In your own interest.
And how long are you gonna keep me locked in?
The Allwhen Council made a contact with me by the memoir.
I was raised to be Senior Computer.
Later, you was developed to be Technician and finally
we brought Cooper here.
Cooper gets to Mallansohn
but Mallansohn is shocked to see him and he dies of a heart attack.
Then Cooper builds the time tunnel in the name of Mallansohn.
But then he can come back here.
He can't.
Cooper's contemporaries laugh at him
and he dies in poverty.
But they take many elements from his conception
and the perfect time tunnel comes into existence.
Maybe that's right, but...
It comes into existence
and no one can stop this process.
And what happens if the process doesn't work?
Then it's all over.
This process is the only way that we can achieve success.
From this moment no one can hear you
but you can hear everything.
You better get ready to the start.
I'm sorry, Senior Computer, but the others don't let me to come here.
I know. It was my order.
The time has come?
Shall we start now?
Yes, in a little while.
Will I ever come back?
And will I ever see the immortals again?
Oh, don't use this word, Cooper.
We're not immortals.
We're only diligent, unselfish scientists.
Just let me say goodbye before I go.
He can't come out now.
Uh, he looks washed out.
Are you surprised?
I told him about the plan.
It's not surprising.
When I first heard about my mission I felt sick for a week.
Cooper, listen to me.
There's a dripstone cave in the 21st century.
But the cabin can't stop there
and it doesn't have enough energy to come back
so you will have to jump out of the cabin.
But the cabin can stop for five seconds
so you will only have five seconds to leave the cabin.
You understand?
And what if something bad happens?
Nothing bad will happen.
You record everything in this metal book by secret code marks.
Good luck, Cooper!
Harlan.
They've got you trapped, Harlan.
But everything's not lost yet, Harlan.
Use the neuronic whip.
Harlan!
I'm here, Senior Computer.
Set the timer to 2,047!
If the cabin doesn't come back in five seconds
you pull the lever.
You understand?
Okay, but you'll regret it.
There's no time for joke, Harlan.
I'm not joking.
Ready!
Start...
Now!
One
Two
Three
Four
Five!
Success!
Success! We've done it!
Connector!
Tell the members of Allwhen Council
to come here.
All right.
You can come out now, Harlan.
And thank you, too.
I'm being attacked because of the plan
and Fincs incited the Allwhen Council against me.
He said the memoir cannot be implemented exactly.
Well, I'll show them who is the boss here.
Fincs was right.
What are you saying, hmm?
Your plan failed.
What?
What do you mean? The cabin's back.
Yes, it's back.
But Cooper got out of it one hundred years earlier.
Somewhere in the 20th century.
I've ruined the timer by neuronic whip.
But why have you done this?
Noys Lambent.
But you've taken her to the upwhen.
What does she have to do with any of this?
I don't understand.
What don't you understand?
I had a woman and I was happy.
But now it's not possible in this damned time tunnel.
Better destroy everything.
Connector!
No one is to enter this hall.
The members of the Allwhen Council have to wait.
The doors must not be opened.
No one uses the cabin, but me, you understand?
All right, Senior Computer.
They played you off against me.
Harlan,
you think I'm crazy, no?
Everyone thought I was mad.
This whole thing was Fincs' idea.
If there's no Cooper's experiment
he'd be the Senior Computer.
But in the memoir I was mentoined as Senior Computer.
And you...
You fell into their trap.
It makes no difference now.
The time tunnel ceases to exist.
No, that cannot be.
We must correct the mistake and
need to bring Cooper back.
I don't believe you!
I don't believe you.
You'll never find Cooper without me.
- You'll get the girl. - I believed in you once before.
Then you locked and humiliated me.??????????
I promised you everything.
Oh yeah, you promised.
But if I get her and we walk together holding hands
in these halls and among these people
then the balance will be broken.
We need to stop the time travel.
You will be appointed the new Senior Computer and I give you
free rein to do whatever you want.
I committed many irregularities, tortured a Computer
and hid a woman in the time tunnel's secret zone.
I know all about what happened to you but we forgive you.
But why did you block the path to Noys!?
We didn't block the path to her.
You were my own personal technician so you could do anything you want.
And the temporal barrier at the 100,000th century?
What?
The barrier!
What barrier are you talking about?
The temporal barrier. You've set it up to stop the cabin.
But it's not true.
Well, if it's not you then it was the Council.
The Allwhen Council can do nothing without my consent.
I'm the boss here.
You know,
we still can't set up barriers.
But it is there. I couldn't get through the barrier.
My medicine, ahh...
What's the matter?
My heart...
Harlan, my son,
I'm just a man.
A Homo Sapiens like you.
And not a machine.
Although I was born
in a more technologically advanced era.
The only difference between you and me is that
I have four teeth less than you and I don't have an appendix.
I'm all right now. Thank you.
I've sacrificed everything for nothing.
You know, my son,
when I was a technician I loved a girl.
She lived in the 30th century.
We had a kid.
Later, when my son was 40
I visited him.
He was a fine-looking man, a great scientist,
the ideal of the century.
But we had to make some changes in that era,
and after the modification
my son became crippled
he lived his life
in a mental home.
His mother
killed herself.
And I ordered the modification.
I've been working on this for 40 years
and now it's all gone to shit.
The time traveling will be destroyed
and we all
will die.
But all is not lost.
We've got maybe one hour or a few months left to the modification.
Maybe we can bring Cooper back.
We can't check the 20th century.
We need to know the exact date
when Cooper arrived in that century.
Did you give Cooper a time generator?
No, we didn't, because the memoir says he must live there
and die as Mallansohn.
I have an idea.
Let's go to my room.
What are you looking for, Harlan?
Cooper can send a message to us through an advertisement.
What does advertisement mean?
I taught Cooper how to put an advertisement
in these magazines.
If he put an advertisement in the 20th century
then it will be published in this magazine.
Here it is.
Show me! Let's see!
Just a moment. Altought you wouldn't understand it.
Don't delay, son, we may be annihilated at any moments.
Now we reserve the play order.
But first, I want to talk about my conditions.
You have to understand we only have a few minutes left.
But first, we will bring Noys here.
And we will go together for Cooper.
Supposing that, of course, Noys is still alive.
Because she's not, then...
I've studied the primitive times for 12 years
but you haven't got 12 years anymore.
Let's go quickly to the cabin.
Connector!
Elevate the alert status.
No one is to leave the rooms and no one is to enter the main hall.
All right, senior computer.
If we can't go through the 100,000th century
then the peoples of the hidden centuries certainly interfered.
Let's go!
96, 97, 98, 99.
101.
There is no barrier.
But it was here.
I've checked it several times.
And I've tried every switche.
105, 106, 108, 109, 110.
Well, Harlan?
We're here in the 110,345th century.
But where is Noys?
Noys!
Harlan!
Harlan, are you captured?
No, he is senior computer Twissell.
Calm down, my darling, there's no problem.
We'll go together.
There's no time to explain.
Come on, let's go.
Uh, these clothes...
What a masquerade.
But you're still beautiful, my darling.
Oh, thank you.
Where are the time generators?
In this suitcase.
Then we'd better hurry, we have to bring
Cooper back as soon as possible.
Here you are, Harlan.
Show me that advertisement.
Here.
This is an atomic cloud.
This magazine was published on 9th March 1932.
So?
The world didn't know then what the atomic cloud is.
Maybe it's just a coincidence.
Then look at the text under the picture.
I don't understand a word of it.
English advertising inscription from that era
but the initials spell out the word A-T-O-M.
It's Cooper. He did it. And his address is here.
Hollywood, California.
Great!
Then bring Cooper back by all means.
In the meanwhile I will not inform the Allwhen Council about the experiment.
If you find Cooper, send me a message in this magazine
and I will bring you back here by the cabin.
Come on, go now.
Can I use the atomic blaster?
Yes, you kill everyone who stands before you.
One, two, three, four, five.
Harlan, why did you take me with you?
What do you want to do?
I want to speak to you.
We immortals can't set up temporal barrier.
But I found the temporal barrier at the 100,000th century.
Twissell said the barrier was put there by the peoples of the hidden centuries.
What difference does it make now?
It changes everything, Noys.
Everything.
Because if it's true, then it wasn't me who chose you.
I was controlled by remote control.
Oh, come on, who can interfere in your affair?
There is something or someone...
Who whispered to me what I didn't know before.
Because I didn't have a clue.
How could I know about these secret data?
Do you mean that you were controlled by invisible superbeings of the future?
They are not invisible.
They are very visible.
But
they are not here, you never met them.
But you are here.
There's only you and me here.
Me
and the woman of the hidden centuries.
What are you saying, Harlan?
I insulted the sociologist
and I should have paid more attention to what he said.
I mean, you couldn't have existed in the 480th century.
But you said those people disappear by the modification.
But not before the modification.
You stopped the cabin in your own era.
Is that your homewhen?
Do you live in that century?
Why is it so important?
Confess everything!
I may not allow myself to be injured by remorse.
- Remorse? - Yes, Noys.
I want to kill you!
Why are you so quiet?
Do you come from the hidden centuries? - Yes, Harlan.
Do you kill me?
Or you want me to defend myself?
Defend yourself!
After the 150,000th century the humans will die out.
We don't know why.
The intelligent and ambitious humanity can't survive.
We went through the centuries and now we've found you.
You interfered from century to century
you destroyed the spaceflight and stopped the development.
It's true.
We've formed a medium safety life.
So we avoided hugh disasters and, of course, great discoveries.
But a spaceship or two wouldn't solve anything.
We should move to the outer space, but it's not possible.
It would be easier to use this energy for people's welfare.
Let them live happily. At least until the sun shines.
So you've created a lustful society.
We blocked the intervention and didn't allow you to enter
our time and we tried to build spaceships.
But we didn't have enough spaceflight experience.
You Immortals block the spaceflight
so you must be annihilated.
So this was the big plan.
You came to me
and loved me by command.
Ah, what a fool I was.
The obvious conclusion didn't occur to me.
The stake is not about Noys and Harlan,
it's all about the hidden centuries and the immortals.
Then it wouldn't have been as clear in my mind as it is now.
Fincs who hated me and Twissell who locked and humiliated me.
Better destroy everything.
I have only one regret:
your love was a lie.
It's not true, Harlan.
I never lied to you.
I was prepared for this the same way as Cooper.
You know, I've fallen in love with you.
And I said, I go through many things to live my life with you.
I asked you from them, that was my condition.
And I wanted only you from Twissell.
What do we do now, Noys?
We stay right here.
No more immortality, no more hidden centuries.
We sacrifice the era in which we live for a more livable world.
We should burn the time generators.
We are in 1932.
World War II will begin soon
and will be horrible.
The humans discover the atom bomb and destroy the earth by spaceships.
We should interfere to stop the wars
so we will whisper to the politicans and the scientists what to do.
And then the spaceprogram can begin
and we learn to live in the cosmos when the sun explodes.
All of them gone.
They disappeared like the creatures of a troubled dream.
It's like they never existed.
Let's go, Harlan.
The earth waits out there,
the beginning of an endless adventure.
We'll have kids and grandchildren.
The humankind will survive to reach the stars.
