BACKLIGH Hi you reached Jay and
Rachael's residence.
please leave a message and we'll
get back as soon as possible.
Have a great day!
Jay?
It's David.
Your friend, your neighbor,remember?
I know you're in there
Can you pick up the phone, please?
And by the way...
When are you gonna change that recording?
Come on...
Its been a year already.
Don't you think is been enough?
You can 't let what happened
ruin your birthdays forever.
No disrespect.
I mean, I don't think Rachael
would want to see you like this.
Life goes on.
You got to step out of the hole.
I'm worried about you, Jay.
Don't make today feel like a year ago.
Have you opened Rachael's gift already?
Don't keep staring at that box
for the rest of your life.
What if it's perishable?
You better not let it rot.
Anyway...
I brought you some groceries, and...
Me and the guys,
we bought you a little gift, so...
Nothing fancy,
don't get your hopes high...
Just want you to know...
you are not alone.
It is bad enough
That we all lost her..
Don't make us feel
like we lost you, too.
Happy birthday, buddy.
To our friend,
Happy Birthday!
A new start needs
to cut the ribbon!!!
Come on...
Please, make a U-turn.

You are on the wrong course

Hello, officer...
Good morning, sir.
Did I do anything wrong?
It's seem so.
Can't park in this area without a permit.
Well, I thought in a place
as empty as this,
How I can possible offend anyone?
Licence and registration, please.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Have a nice day.
You, too.
In half a mile, turn left.
Hey sugar, grab a chair,
I'll be right with you.
Thank you
Ready to order?
Yeah, just bring me the number two
and a cup of coffe.
I'll get your coffee.
Thanks.
What the hell.
Stop it!
Hey, come back here!
Oh God. No.
Oh, God.
Oh, come on baby.
Come on baby, come on.
In one mile, turn right.
Thank you.
Oh yes, thank you.
Hi, David. it's me.
I just wanted to thank you
for being my friend.
And for never giving up on me.
You must have noticed by now that my car
is not in the garage and...
You are probably wondering,
where the hell I am.
Well,you told me to leave
the hole and so I did.
I don't know where exactly
where I'm heading
But I just want you
to know that I'm alright.
Oh, by the way...
Thanks for the gift.
It means a lot to me..
Talk to you later.
Take care, buddy.
In half a mile, turn left.
Thank you.
In one mile, turn right.
Turn right.
You have arrived to your destination.
You have arrived to your destination.
You have arrived to your destination.
C'mon.
What?
This is it?
Damn it.
THE DAY BEFORE
You know we have a strict no cell phone use
in class policy.
However your daughter doesn't
want to abide by that policy.
Her conduct is disruptive.
Therefore I recommend you
take advantage of the suspension
and have a serious talk withyour daughter.
I'm sorry, but...
This is a bit hard to believe.
I mean, it doesn't sound like Lucy at all.
I just can't think of what could make her
behave like this. I'm so mad.
Sorry...
Your Hand?
Oh, thank you.
Do you mind if I ask what happened?
UH, we had a gas leak
at the apartment last week.
And I was lighing one
of those scented candles
AND BOOM!
You know?
The air just went up
around me all in flames
But luckily. Lucy had just
opened a window minutes before.
I mean, I am lucky I only burned my hand.
Well, and my hair, hence the silly scarf.
Sorry to hear that.
That must have been quite a scare.
Do you think that may be why
she's been acting out?
I don't think so.
I mean, she didn't get hurt or anything.
But you could have been seriously hurt.
A life threatening situation
can change a person.
Lucy and I
had an argument over that window.
With no apparent reason
she decided to open it
And...I mean I was not happy about it.
it was freezing
outside and we were both sick.
I kept asking her to close it
but she just ignored me
Who would have guessed that window
would save both of our lives?
Ironic, huh?
Given the situation, here's what I can do
I won't go on record
with official suspension,
I don't think Lucy deserves that kind of
damage on her school record anyway.
However,
I want you to promise me
That you'll take the next week
to work out this phone issue with her.
So it does not escalate
to something more serious.
Sound fair?
Yes. I appreciate it.
And I promise she'll be back like new.
Lucy.
Lucy, are you home?
Lucy, didn't I tell you
to get new curtains?
Lucy.
Lucy!
Mom, what are you doing here?
What does it look like?
I'm looking for you.
Please, mom, not now.
I want to know who
gave you a cellphone.
No one.
So how are you paying for it?
I'm not.
So who is?
No One.
Wow! a Free phone that makes free calls!
Amazing!
Did you steal it?
Of course not!
So what's the story?
C'mon spill it.
My boyfriend gave it to me.
Since when do you have a boyfriend?
- Since last week.
Really?
Yeah.
You know what?
I wish you had a boyfriend.
Maybe then you could learn
something about life on planet
earth for a change.
The problem is you can't get a boyfriend
Even though you're wearing a shirt
saying "I love dick"
For your information, Philip K. Dick is the
world's greatest science fiction writer.
God, you're so ignorant.
All I want to know is
how you got ahold of a cell phone
I found it ok?
I found it!
Why are you making calls
from it if it's not yours?
It's complicated. Ok?
And I don't want to talk about it.
Well, it can't be more complicated
than you're life's gonna be...
... if you don't tell me every
single detail of that story
Where do you think you're going?
I do not talk on the phone in class
if that's what the principal told you.
Well, he says you do.
Otherwise he wouldn't bother me with it.
Well, I don't
I mean...
How could I?
The phone doesn't even work.
Say it again?
The phone is broken.
It doesn't work.
It never did.
If it doesn't work, why do you have it?
I mean, that is even more puzzeling to me.
Do you just pretend to
talk on the phone in class...
...to look cool or to
piss off the teachers?
Is that the deal?
No.
So what do you do with it?
The principal was
very clear about you...
...being seen using
the phone in class.
Are you saying
they made that up?
I just listen to it.
You listen to what?
The phone
You listen to the phone?
Yes.
Didn't you just say the phone is broken?
Yes, I did,
But sometimes,
I get it out of the bag
and put it to my ear.
What for?
I hear things.
Oh, God.
What things?
Words.
Words?
You mean it plays the radio?
No, it's not that.
It doesn't work at all. I told you.
So how do you hear words?
Actually, it's just a single word
each day.
I don't get it.
I just...I hear one word. That's it.
Every day I hear one.
Lucy, you're not making any sense.
I knew you wouldn't understand.
That's why I didn't tell you.
Okay!
You found a cellphone which is dead
Caput! No signal.
And you hear words coming from it.
Yes
And these words, what are they?
Clues.
Clues about what?
Promise you won't freak out?
Lucy, you're scaring me.
You have to promise.
Ok, I promise.
Each word is a clue about
what can save me every day.
That's not funny.
You're joking, right?
Does it sound like I'm joking?
This is serious but I don't want you
to get all freaked out about it either
C'mon, Lucy. How am I
supposed to react to that?
Just listen to the rest of what I
have to say and be cool, alright?
I'm listening.
Remembered the fire?
How can I forget?
That was when it started.
What do you mean?
I found the phone on
the street that morning
and I realized it wasn't working.
So I kept trying to figure out
why it wasn't working
because it looked new.
I turned it on and off and then
I put it to my ear to check for sound
And then this word sounded over and over
What word?
Window
I kept hearing the word 'window'.
and then I got home and saw myself
running toward the kitchen window
and not really sure what to do
And I just opened it.
And then, you know what happened.
You mean you opened the window
that saved our lives
because that
cellphone told you to?
I know.
I know what you're thinking. It's crazy.
I want you to stop this nonesense.
No! You need to hear this!
Yesterday, the
word was 'ticket'.
So?
Did you see the news?
There was a gang shooting at
the Grey Souls' concert.
Two kids got killed.
I was supposed to
go but I didn't.
Do you know why?
No, why?
I lost my ticket.
Thank God you lost that ticket, but...
How am I supposed to believe that you're
hearing these words, or clues, or whatever?
Mom,you know that I've never been into
superstitious, Hocus pocus bullshit.
I've Always been very rational.
So please, I am begging you to believe me.
Just tell me one more thing.
What?
What's today's word?
Did it save your life already?
I know today's word.
But nothing's happened yet.
So what's the word?
Why should I tell you?
You don't believe me anyway.
How am I supposed to believe you if you
don't tell me what the word is?
I have an idea.
I'm gonna write down the word.
This way, you won't know
it until it happens.
This way you won't be
obssessing about it.
Me?
Obsess?
I have a better idea.
What is it?
Can I see the phone?
What for?
I just want to hold
it for a second.
What is the idea?
I'll show you.
What are you doing?
I'm sorry to do this,
but I have to put an end
to this charade right now.
If you need guidance, you come
to me, and listen to what I say.
Not some ridiculous broken phone
Lucy!
No!
God! Hold on!
Do not let go of me,
please, don't let go!
Hold on to my hand!
I'm holding you as strong as I can
I've got you.
Don't let go, don't let go.
Hold on tight, hold on tight, ok?
Baby hold on tight. Just hold on.
I'm ok! Oh my god!
I'm slipping, I'm slipping.
I'm gonna fall off!!
Look at me.
I'm not going to let you die!
Don't let go!
That phone was meant to kill you.
Not save you.
Think again.
Hand
Mom, are you sure about this?
I mean, I don't think leaving town all of
a sudden is gonna make any difference.
I promised the principal that we
would go away for a week.
Just the two of us
and that's exactly the way it's going to be
Well, It's always been the two of us,
no matter where we go.
I need to figure out
what's going on with you
and that phone and
I can't think at the house.
And if you're tired
of it being just the two of us,
why don't you bring
your imaginary boyfriend along?
Maybe I can't get a boyfriend
because you can't get
a boyfriend. I have a
theory that it's genetic.
Ha, ha!
Where are we going exactly?
I'm not sure.
As long as it's not Mexico.
For God's sake, Lucy,
we are not running from the police.
Do you think that only criminals
want to go to mexico?
Shhh...Please, I'm thinking.
Look, it's easy...
We can't go West
because we're already
as far west as we can possibly go
We can't go south because
are not outlaws.
And we can't go North because
we can't get a man in LA.
Chances are we'll die single in San Francisco, so...
I guess there's only one option left.
Which is?
Vegas.
Ha! You wish!
So, tell me something.
How often do you hear those words?
Every day. I told you.
And it's just one word each day?
Yes
So if each word lasts 24 hours,
after midnight you should hear a new one.
Yeah, I guess so.
Can't wait.
Have you figured out where we're going yet?
No.Not yet.
I didn't know that you
also liked to travel into the unknown.
What are you doing?
I am going to do my own travelling
What book is it?
"The Time Machine" by H. G. Wells.
Didn't they make a movie about it?
Several.
So why do you want to still read the book?
Uh, actually I'm reading it now for the
third time.
Are you insane? why?
Because I'm doing a thesis
on Time Travelling
My god, Lucy, if it's time
travel you're into
Why don't you just watch
the "Back to the Future"trilogy?
Instead of reading the
same book three times?
Well, actually I only read the book once.
But because I managed to
go back in time twice,
to the exact moment before I read the book,
I don't remember
So technically although I
read the book twice already,
I'm reading it now
for the first time.
What?
Ok,You need to relax.
I'm just teasing you.
How many rooms?
Just one. With two beds, please.
Thirty dollars.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Finally I can get some sleep
No, you can't.
Do you think I can go to sleep
without knowing what's the next word
that's gonna save my daughter?
I told you I only get one word per day.
I know, it IS the next day.
It's passed midnight.
In case you haven't noticed.
Are you for real?
You bet I am. So you better grab
that cell phone and start listening,
'cause I'm not going to
sleep and neither are you.
Until we hear God's word.
Look,
it doesn't happen like that.
I just can't force...
...the phone to give the
word whenever I want.
It happens when it
has to happen, not because I want it to.
Will you just try it for a bit?
Mom, I'm tired.
Just try it,
for God's sake.
You know, I have been doing
this alone and am not sure
if it's going to work with
you staring at me like that.
Do you want me to close my eyes?
I think I can hear something.
What? What do you hear?
I hear...
"Sleep"
Don't be smart.
Just concentrate, will you?
I hear nothing.
Can we do this tomorrow, please?
All right, all right. have it your way.
Wait!
What is it?
I'm getting it.
Well, say i!
King
What?
It's "King" .
The word is King.
What's that supposed to mean?
It means what it means.
King is the clue.
King of what?
I do not know. But it's gonna save
my life somehow. I guarantee it.
But what king?
Well, maybe it's King Kong.
He seems to be keen on girls.
This is not funny.
Look, can we go to bed now?
Nothing's gonna happen
tonight anyway.
So we might as well just
deal with it in the morning
Wait!
What?
You can't sleep in this bed.
Why not?
It's not safe.
What?
Just...just get out of bed
and come with me.
Are you kidding me?
Mom, are you insane?
Hello!
What are you doing?
Excuse me!
Hi, uh, we need a king size bed,
please.
I don't think there's one
available tonight.
Well, could you just check
Please, it's very important.
Well, there is one,
but I don't think it's in good condition.
It'll be fine.
The toilet is clogged.
-We don't mind.
Thank you
Enjoy.
If "King" is going to save you,
then you'll be sleeping on one.
Okay. Here it is.
We can't take any chances.
King Kong was here,
and he left evidence.
If you need to pee,
just use the bathtub.
Whatever!
Rise and shine, my Queen.
C'mon we gotta get you your King.
What time is it?
How do I look?
You remind me of my mother.
I'll take that as a compliment.
You know, some people think you still have
a pretty hot mommy.
I heard what the kids
of the neighborhood call you.
Milf.
Milf?
What the hell is that?
Mother I'd Like To f...
Fantasize...
Oh, my God, Lucy.
That's disgusting.
Mom, you're too uptight.
You know you're never gonna
find a man that way.
And you really need one...badly.
You better work
on that laughter,
because you make the sound dogs
make just before they throw up.
Where are we going to find breakfast?
Burger King.
Where else?
Here.
It's all I could find.
There is no Burger King
in a thirty mile radius.
I still think we should get one, though.
Just in case.
And how do you figure a
Whopper is gonna save me today?
Kings aren't to be questioned.
I bought this for you.
"The shining"by Stephen King?
Really?
Yeah! Hold on to it.
At least until midnight.
And I thought that I was going crazy.
You know that Stephen King writes
mostly horror stories.
Which usually end badly
for the main character
Most of his stories are
pretty creepy like...
...this one for instance.
It's a bloodbath from start to finish.
Hey, I remember from the movie
And I'm tense enough already.
Change the subject.
You know, you never
gave me a book before.
Of course I have.
Nope, this is the first one.
I gave you a diary once.
It's not exactly a book.
It is once you write in it.
I gotta go to the bathroom.
Just make sure you take
Stephen with you.
People might think that I'm going
to use it for something else.
Take it
Don't use all the pages.
Save some for me.
Hey shithead!
Where's my $20 you owe me?
I said I'd get it.
You said the same yesterday.
And I want it now.
Yeah, well, I don't have it here.
I can get it tomorrow.
You have until midnight...
...oryou'll never See your Fisher Price
limited edition chess board again!
It's Bobby Fisher, you idiot.
Hey! Where do you think you're
going with my daughter's bag?
Let go of me, crazy bitch.
You're not going anywhere
Get your hands off me.
Let go, you little bastard
Get your hands off me!
Give me the bag!
Give it to me!
Bitch! Let go of the bag!
Let go of it! Give it to me!
You want a piece of this?
Mother!
You are so dead, bitch!
No!
Get out of here!
Run to the car, Lucy.
Run, Lucy.
Throwing a book at guy who's holding a gun?
What were you thinking?
He was going to shoot you.
What I supposed to do?
Don't put yourself in danger because of me!
I can handle myself!
So much for Stephen King.
That phone was meant to kill you
not save you.
What's that?
My savior.
I'll be damned.
This isn't my stuff.
What?
This is definately not my bag.
Where did you get this?
I thought it was yours.
That guy had it.
Well, I put my stuff under
the bench. Did you check?
I didn't see anything.
I thought that guy took it.
Well, obviously not.
Shoot!
We have to go back.
Are you crazy?
We're not going back there.
I have all my stuff in there.
Forget it. I'll buy you new books!
My thesis notes!
That's months of work.
I'll tell you what.
If you can go back in time
and get it, be my guest
We're not going back!
I'm sorry honey
What am I supposed to do
with all this stuff?
Do not touch anything.
Just...we don't want
our fingerprints on it.
Throw it out the window.
Go!
Alright, here's the deal.
Tonight we sleep on my rules.
I get my own bed and I'm not telling
you the word before the morning.
Ok, well, just one more thing.
What?
The day is not over yet.
So you better hold on to your savior.
Ok?
Here take the wheel for a second?
There.
Keep it on.
I'm doomed.
You just hung the King
Do you think if I listened to the phone,
I would hear words?
I don't know.
Why don't you try it?
What does the voice sound like?
What voice?
The voice you hear.
Is it a man's voice or a woman's?
Who says I hear voices?
Well, how do you hear the word?
It just sort of pops in my head.
I don't know.
Ok, that's freaky.
Damn it.
What's wrong?
My head hurts.
What?
Is it serious?
Yes, it hurts
Well, we'll go to the drugstore
and get you some Advil.
Stupid Cellphone.
It's probably the radiation.
It's cooking your brain cells
and turning you into a mutant.
Mom...
Something is just happening.
What is it?
There's a new word.
What?
I just heard a new word.
Well, how can that be?
I mean, I'm the one
holding the cell phone.
You're not even holding it.
I know.
I don't know.
Isn't it just a word per day?
Listen, I don't make the rules.
I'm just as confused and
surprised as you are!
But the fact is I just got
a new word buzzing in my head.
For Christ's sake, Lucy.
When is this ever going to end?
I mean, you're joking, right?
Tell me you're joking
No, I'm not.
So what the hell is the new word?
Air
Air?
Yeah
Like the wind?
Yeah.
Well, here.
Have plenty of it!
How's your headache now?
What are you doing?
Leave the window open.
I'm getting cold.
Can we close the others, too?
I don't think that's wise.
You know, I think it's probably better
if I never tell you any more words again.
Why?
Because you are probably gonna make
me sleep in an air bed tonight.
You know, you started by saying...
...that all this was happening
because I was obssessed about it.
But you've been
acting a lot worse.
Didn't you learn
anything from the "King"?
If the "air" is
going to save me,
it might as well be in a
way that we least expect.
So do not try to help because
you're making it a lot worse.
You know, just stop the car.
I'll put the windows up.
Stop the car.
You don't have to get so upset!
Stop the car!
What for?
Just stop it or I'm gonna
throw up in your lap.
Lucy!
Come on, Lucy.
Lucy,
Come back here!
You have arrived to your destination.
You have arrived to your destination.
Damn it.
Oh, my God.
Lucy!!
THE DAY BEFORE
Claire.
Claire.
Well, hello, Claire.
Did you find the place alright?
Yeah!
What's going on, sis?
I haven't heard from you
in over two and a half years
And all of a sudden you
leave me this message
to drive a million miles out
to this god forsaken place.
Is this a mental health test?
Well. Matt,
it may surprise you
But I need your help with one
of my patients.
One of your patients needs my help?
I'm very serious.
I think you may hope
that he's the safest patient.
Well, you're the shrink, not me.
Will you just listen to
what I have to say?
I'm listening.
I have been taking
care of a special patient.
His name is Daniel Doyle. Age 17.
He's an intern in a mental health center
for a year now
You still work at tha nut house?
Yep.
Just got promoted last week at
Vice President of the board.
Wow!
Congrats V.P.!
it just lasted a day though...
What happened?
Differences of opinions you know?
This kid Daniel, for instance,
they wanted to
release him again.
Well, in my opinion...
What is your opnion?
I believe...
he's going to seriously hurt
himself as soon as he gets out.
What do you mean
by seriously hurt himself?
Suicide.
Right...
How do I fit in the picture?
Daniel's girlfriend died
and he's not been able to deal with it.
I think he's going to need
to connect with someone
he believes can really
understand his pain
Someone he can look in the eye
and respect.
And you think that's me?
Yeah, I do.
Will you talk to him. please?
Well, Claire, my girlfriend didn't die.
I know.
But you almost did.
He's such a good kid.
He reminds me of you.
Really?
Well can you tell me why
you made me come all the way outhere?
We will get into that later..
Now, just listen to me carefully.
Ok, go on!
About a year ago, during Spring Break
This kid Daniel and his girlfriend
Jennifer were camping at Lake Mirage.
She went for a swim while Daniel was
taking pictures with a digital camera.
They were both having fun,
when Jennifer had a seizure
and started drowning
She went down really fast.
Daniel, howeve, was quick to react
He jumped into the water,
dived down, grabbed
her carried her to shore
and performed CPR
But unfortunately
she didn't survive.
Now here's Daniel's thought on it.
According to his statement,
he claimed he couldn't cope with losing
her, so he decided to end his life as well.
A week after her funeral he
jumped into the lake and...
guess what?
Well, he didn't die.
I can figure that much.
Exactly. But the actual ordinary thing is
that he claims that he actually drowned...
and woke up again on the lake just as
he was trying to save his girlfriend.
I think you kind of lost me there.
What I mean is, he jumped into the lake,
drowned and woke up trying to save Jennifer.
Isn't jennifer dead at this point?
She is.
But not if you travel back in time.
So, so...
Let me get this straight.
While he's drowning,
he travels back in time
and wakes up at the exact
moment of the lake incident.
Exactly.
As she's drowning.
Ok!
What happens next?
And then he tries to save her but
never succeeds.
So we try to go back again.
And again.
Until he hopes one
day he WILL succeed.
So he's like in a time loop?
Yes.
But there is another
interesting detail.
Really?
What's that?
Climb on top of the first cargo airplane,
and call me when you get there.
Ok....
Go to the back of the airplane.
Look for a small hatch
behind the right wing
Can you see it?
Yeah, I see it.
Open it up and tell me what you find.
It's a digital camera.
With a key on it.
You see that camera?
- Yep
Daniel claims he can only go back in
time if he takes his camera with him.
That same camera.
How does that work?
He takes his own picture with
that camera just before he dies.
And that's what makes
time travel possible.
The kid has a pretty wild imagination.
Tell me about it.
How he end up at your
care at the center?
He was caught trying
to drown himself.
Someone saw it and stopped him.
The incident was reported to his parents
and he was brought to the center.
Consequently the board agreed
he should be interned.
The same boaed that
now thinks he's fine?
Bingo.
Well, there's still one thing that
I still don't understand, Claire
-What is it?
Did you have me come all the way out
here just to pick up the kid's camera?
Or is there something
else going on?
Because you're starting
to freak me out.
Are you going to tell me
what's REALLY going on here?
I'm in trouble, Matt.
You don't say!
Let me guess.
Your opinion was THAT strong.
I guess.
It runs in the family.
Well, spill it, Claire.
What exactly did you do?
Before Daniel was released from the center,
I took him out there.
Please don't tell me
you kidnapped the kid.
I care about him, Matt.
I had to do something.
Well, where is he?
See that cargo airplane
behind ?
Yeah.
He is in there.
The kid is in the aircraft?
Where the hell are YOU?
I was hiding with him there.
But the cops got him there,
now I'm home arrested.
Are you out of your mind?
What was I supposed to do?
The moment he wants, he'll go to
the first body of water and die.
Do you know what you've done?
Not only are you going
to lose your license,
but they're gonna put
you away forever.
it doesn't matter,
as long as it saves his life.
Please, Matt.
He has no one else.
Claire...I uh...
I can't be involved in this.
I got enough problems of my own.
I just want you to talk to him,
that's all.
I'm sorry, Claire.
But I can't.
Not too long ago, you
were in this kid's shoes.
Did you forget that already?
I nearly lost my brother.
Right under my nose.
Because I was too busy dealing
with my own problems.
The sign were all around me.
But I just decided
to ignore them.
And I do regret that very much.
So if there's anything I can
do to help someone else
who's going through that
same kind of emotional pain
that makes you wish
you could end it all,
... I will.
How long have you kept the
camera from the kid?
Since day One.
When it was brought into the center.
Well, allright.
If the kid thinks this camera is
a time machine,
I think I want to know how it works.
You in here, Daniel?
Daniel?
Is that you, Daniel?
Daniel?
Who are you?
I'm matt.
Claire's brother.
Welcome aboard to Flight Nowhere, Matt.
Never really enjoyed flying myself.
I like to keep my feet to the ground.
if you know what I mean.
Don't tell me.
You're a shrink, too.
No...No...Definately not.
I'm not a doctor of any kind.
Still, Claire believes that I can help you
God knows why.
I helped a dog once.
But I'm not a vet either.
As a matter of fact,
I'm unempleyed at the moment.
Basically, I'm just a sucker.
A lot like you, no offense.
You do know she's just
trying to help you, right?
It's not working.
Yeah, I can see that.
heck....I don't blame you at ever
being so mad at the world...
It's a tough thing to lose your
girlfriend like that
I know how that can
mess with your head.
Really?
Did your girlfriend die, too?
No.
I hope not.
What do you mean?
She disappeared.
Well, like kidnapped,
or something?
She just left.
And I thought
I was the biggest sucker.
Yeah, you're pronanly right about that.
I do not blame her, though.
I was just a stupid kid.
So, what happened?
Well, I was 16.
And a rich kid
Born and raised in a
wealthy family in Chicago.
My parents had big plans for me.
I was a bit of...
a prodigy in college
so I was about to...
Go into med School
So far, so good, right?
And then fate decided
to change things up on me.
Guess what?
Fell in love.
The only problem with that was that...uh..
She was 20 years old
and a cabby.
I should have been
smarter than to try...
to force my parents, to accept the
fact that I wanted to marry this...
Twenty year-old,
immigrant, taxi driver.
With diamond-shaped tattoo on her face.
Boy, oh boy did they, uh...
Go on a crusade against us.
It was pure lunacy.
And even then
I still tought we could win.
So, we decided
that we'd pretendit was over...
... Until I was legal.
For two years
That was hard.
But we had a secret signal.
Whenever we crossed each other's paths
we would touch our noses.
It's an ancient...um...signal
Arctic tribes used
Whenever the men were gonna go
a long hunt across the icy desert,
The wives would touch their noses
like this.
It means in death
My heart will follow you to the ends of
the earth.
We thought that was an appropriate signal.
Because the environment surrounding us was...
... Cold as an Arctic winter night.
Sad thing is we didn't survive it.
You see, my parents are hard to fool.
They, uh...
Found out she didn't
have a green Card and
had her blackmailed
for deportation.
Hey, crazy teenage drama, right?
So, what happened to her?
Never saw her again.
What did you do?
Tried to go...
back in time.
Like you.
How?
Needless to say I didn't succeed.
Looks like you're stuck.
Life is so much like a dark comedy.
When all this happened, all I wanted to do
was end my life, and...
Here I am carrying an epi pen
on my wallet everywhere I go.
An epipen?
Auto injector of Epinephrine.
I'm allergic to bees,
and without epipen,
one sting could
mean the end of me
Pretty pathetic, huh?
So tell me,
what changed in your
life since then?
What made you trade your razor blades in
for an epipen?
Hope.
Like you, I hope that I can
find a way to travel back in time
and be with my girl again.
I just don't think
killing myself is the answer.
Unless of course you and your camera
can prove me wrong.
What kind of proof do you need?
You could bring me some photos.
You know what they say,
"A picture is worth a thousand words".
If you give me my camera back,
and help me get out of here,
I'll get you the pictures
that you need.
I'll see what I can do.
Thanks for staying overnight.
How could I turn down free lodging
at such a thematic campsite?
What are you thinking?
I think those handcuffs
are gonna look pretty bad on your resume.
I'm sorry but desperate situations
call for desperate measures.
We can't let him go
before we're sure he's gonna be alright.
He's never gonna be alright
if we don't let him go, Claire.
You know,
mom and dad miss you so much.
You should try to forgive them.
Maybe.
It's a damn shame
you had to fall for that wrong girl.
She wasn't the wrong girl.
Sorry, you know I didn't mean it.
God, it's been like ten years.
Did you ever get any news from her?
No.
I can't believe you're still in love.
You are, aren't you?
I think it's a little late for
a therapy session.
You know what?
In part, I really envy you.
I think we both need
to get some sleep.
I'll try my best!
Good night
-Night
Are you heading west,
by any chance?
Jump in Young Dude.
All right. Thanks.
Please tell me
you didn't let him go?
Look, you said
you wanted Daniel
to talk to someone he could
look in the eye and respect.
Someone he knew could understand
what he was going through, right?
Yeah, I guess said that.
Well,the only way for
Daniel to really believe
that I understand what
he's going through...
was to set him free.
He's not much ready yet.
And we know that Daniel
tried to kill himself before.
And... When you think of doing
something that terrible to yourself...
You feel so lonely
it's unbearable.
I know,
because I did.
I felt so miserable and lonely...
that I didn't think anyone could endure
that kind of pain and still go on living.
Daniel may still be out ther,
and he is still be thinking
about killing himself.
But he knows there is
someone else out there...
who endured his pain and
stll walks mlong he living.
He knows he's not alone.
And he knows that person's right here
perfectly happy to give him a helping hand.
I hope you're right, Matt.
I really hope you're right.
If it makes you feel any better,
I think I know exactly
where he's headed.
Where?
Well,he tried to drown
himself at Lake Mirage
to wake up and save his
girlfriend at Lake Mirage.
So I think that is where he's headed and
that is about 3 hours from here.
He's going to die, Matt,
I know it.
No.
Don't worry.
Let me handle this.
Ok?
I'll find him and
I'll make sure he's alright.
So, my sister, she's 65.
She comes home one day...
and she hears this strange
sound, coming from the bedroom
So she goes in...
and she finds her 40 year old
daughter, that's my niece
... Playing with a vibrator.
You know what
a vibrator is, right?
Yeah, I know.
Internet.
Ah, got you.
So she says:
'What are you doing?'
And her daughter says:
Mom, I'm 40 years old.
... Look at me.
I 'm ugly...
I'm never gonna get married.
This is as close to a husband
as I'm gonna get.
Eww, sad.
Yeah. Sad.
Next day...
My brother-in-law comes home...
And hears thame
same buzzing sound
coming out of
his daughter's room...
He goes in and there she is..
...using the vibrator.
Yeah. He says:
What the hell is going on here?
And she she says
Dad, I just told Mom...
I'm 40 years old, I'm ugly
and I'm never gonna get married.
This is pretty much my husband.
So he...
you know, walks out of the
room kind of sad like...
Next day, my sister comes home...
And she finds him
on the couch beer in one hand...
vibrator in the other hand...
And Watching football on Television.
She says:
What in Heaven's name is going on?
He says: What does it l
ook like is going on?
I'm drinking a beer watching
the football game with my son-in-law.
Son-in-law!
So, where did you say you're from?
I didn't, actually.
Where ARE you from?
I was born in Iceland,
raised in California,
I think such a sudden,
extreme change in climate
must have screwed my
brain cells somehow.
because I ended up in a nuthouse.
Really?
Wow!
When was that?
Very, very recently.
Don't worry,
I'm harmless.
You look fine to me.
You know...
I have had my time
with psychiatrists, too.
How's that?
I got this...uh...seizure that
used to knock me out all the time...
Every time I tried to... you know?...
Come together with my woman. -laughs-
I couldn't perform because
I'd pass out before I ever got started.
How 'bout that, huh?
So...
The doctors thought
it's probably mental
and they sent me off to
a mental institution.
That's where they...
you know, tried all kinds
of freaky tests on me.
Finally, it comes out I'm
just allergic to latex.
You know, can't wear rubber...
You mean condoms?
All rubber.
And especially condoms.
The initial, uh, diagnosis
I guess was right.
I have a problem with my head.
-laughter-
That's kind of freaky.
Nah. Not so bad, though.
At least I won...
... The best parking in town.
Sweet!
You know...
You must have had a lot
of things happen to you in that nuthouse.
Uh...Like every good drama,
has it's comedy moments. I guess.
Well, let's hear them.
Well this one time,
we had a visit from a wealthy benefactor of
the mental institution.
She was really a classy
and really conservative. lady.
And uh, on their tour
of one of the floors
she passed a room where this
patient was masturbating.
She was in complete awe, like
- If it is discovered.
How is it justified?
And The doctor explained
like, I'm really sorry, ma'am, but...
he has a serious condition where
if he doesn't do it several times a day
he's afraid, that his testicles
are going to swell up and explode.
And he'll die.
You know that can actually happen.
So the lady. was like
Oh, that's terrible...
And they continued
on with the tour.
And In the very next room,
she sees nurse Chavez, the
hottest nuese you can imagine.
Going down another male patient.
And the lady was so shocked
Like: How is this justified?
What is going on in this hospital?
I don't understand.
And the doctor was so embarrassed
he didn't know what to do. so he...
So he puts on a straight face
Turn to her
looking in the eye and tells her:
Same condition, better health plan.
-laughs-
Better health plan!!!
-laughs-
Different health plan!!!!!
There you go, son.
Alright! Thanks a lot!
Good luck.
Three dollars.
Thanks.
Hey Mister!
Will you blow this up for me, please
Where are your parents?
My mommy is inside
buying candy.
Please.
Yeah, sure.
Stretch it out.
-shrieks-
Mommy!!!
Mommy!!!
Sir!
Sir!!
Can you hear me?
Mommy!!!!
Get an ambulance.
Got it!
Latex commision
It's your lucky day, partner.
C'mon!
Breathe for me, buddy.
C'mon, partner!
Come on sir.
Breathe for me, please.
Breathe for me.
Take a breath!
You can do this!
Yes!
Easy.
Yes.
Sir, can you hear me?
Yes
What's your name?
Uh...Justin.
Justin Time.
Justin Time, huh?
You're a funny guy.
You had an allergic reaction.
An ambulance is on its way.
You're gonna be OK, alright?
Thank you.
Be careful, buddy.
Justin Time
I'm Daniel.
Nice to meet you, Daniel.
I 'm Helena,
So where are you heading?
Uh...straight ahead.
Yeah...
I would assume that...
Otherwise you could catch
a ride on the other side.
I'm trying to reach...
uh...Lake Mirage.
Lake Mirage.
Um...
Yeah, I think I can drop
you near the lake.
Oh, great.
So, what are you doing at Lake Mirage?
Um...I'm going to see my girlfriend.
Oh, you sound like you're
really looking forward to it.
I am. Very much.
Hey, good for you.
What about you?
Where are you headed?
Oh, I'm heading right back here.
These 50 miles stretched
road is my official work address.
You mean you just go
back and forth all day?
Oh, yeah.
You'd be surprised how many dead
vehicles I can get in a single day.
If cars were insects,
this road would like a spider-web.
That'd make you like Spider Woman.
Not a Spider Woman like
a Black Widow spider
who kills and eats the
male after mating.
I mean like Spiderwoman
like the superhero, Spider, Spiderman.
Who saves people and is loved
very much for doing so?
So...
What does your girlfriend look like?
Is she hot?
Why do you wanna know?
You into girls?
You assume I'm a dyke just because
drive a tow truck?
No, that's not what I meant.
I was just asking.You know.
That's a rude way to answer.
You're funny.
So, do you have someone?
You mean a boyfriend?
Yeah.
I used to.
But you know, with
a job like mine...
I just don't have much time for dating.
You know?
I think I'll get free time
while I'm still single.
Maybe you should get a vibrator.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Alright.
This is it, Daniel.
Lake Mirage is right ahead.
I gotta head back to work now.
on covering my road of choice.
It was great to
meet you Helena.
Hey and best of luck to you
and your girlfriend.
Thanks.
And don't worry about
the boyfriend.
If you do not find him
I'm sure he'll find you.
Thanks for the ride.
You're welcome.
Oh, my God.
Lucy!
Mom, there's...
WHAT?
I just heard a new word.
What the hell's the new word?
"Air".
I bet the car would
run just fine,
If you had a tow truck
and you're pulled out.
I'm not gonna let
you lose that bet.
I brought a gift for you.
Proof of time travel?
I never said I'd bring you proof.
I said I'd bring the pictures you need.
Well, thanks.
Just don't forget to call the tow truck.
Will do.
And thank you...
For everything.
You take care of yourself. Okay?
Helena
Tow Truck Service.
I need to tow truck over at Lake Mirage.
That's funny.
I was there early today.
I'll be right there.
Don't go anywhere.
I won't.
Justin Time
We had a secret signal.
It means that ...
My heartwill follow you
to the ends of the earth.
