Because I can see it.

The particle accelerator.
Uh-huh. How do you know?
Oh, it was news out there for a while.
-Really? -Your investigation.
Huh. I didn't think it made any news at all.
Well, not then. A few years from now.
Turns out, there's a chain reaction
of mini-black holes which results
in a controlled wormhole.
Well, you should've brought that up when Ben was here.
Mm, Ben the Magnificent.
You met?
-I've known Ben for a while. -Really?
He encouraged me to go into the field of cosmology.
I had no idea you guys were that close.
We were. We are. (laughs softly)
The thing about wormholes is, they stretch space and time,
so if you can focus on a single event,

-Mm-hmm. -...you can travel to it.

No, it has nothing to do with assessing.

-Boom! -(screams) -Oh, my God.
-LAURA: Why would you do that? -KRISTEN: Lila!
-What's wrong? -My God.
-(laughter) -Seriously.
Aw, wait, it's so...
No, no, no, wait.
It smells funny.
(sighs)
Oh, Mom, I almost forgot.
I got her license plate. Does that help?
-(line rings) -My God, my kids are smart.
Yeah, Ben, um, uh, I'm gonna need your help.
Whoa. That was fast.
Hey, the Super Secret Science League,
some of the most brilliant minds in America...
Yeah, who have nothing to do.
Yes. It's organophosphate.
-What? -Someone doused it.
The same nerve agent they used in South Africa
during apartheid to kill opposition leaders.
What'd you find out about the car?
Uh, she stole it. It was reported missing three days ago.
Come on, Kristen. Pick up, pick up.
-Why does she want to kill a kid? -I don't know.
-She's just... just... -Just, just, just what?
She's a time-traveling assassin from the future?
Yeah, she's Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Kristen, call me back.
That onesie you gave me, it's poisoned.
What the hell, Ben?
It's a long story.
How long?

-Hey, sis. -What are you--
Where'd you come from?
Over there.
I came back with a warning,
but your mother asked me to leave.
I think I'd better get back.
I really need to talk to Lexis. Can you get her for me?
Why?
You may not realize it now,
but when Lexis is 35 and Timothy is 23,
he will bring about a battle that will destroy the world.
-I need to talk to my mom. -No.
I'm a good person, I don't want to do this,
but I've been sent back to stop Lexis before she starts.
Lexis hasn't started anything.
No, but you of all people
must sense there's something wrong with her.
Some evil inside her.
She has been appointed protector of Timothy,
someone who will elevate him
to the position of world leader:
to lead armies with his voice,
to destroy cities, millions of people.
You're crazy. Mom!
Please, Lynn, don't try to stop me.
(gasps) Mom!
Mom!
Mom, they're coming to kill Timothy!
Mom. Mommy.
Where are you, Mommy?

ELLIE: Lynn, come out!
I just want to talk.
(train wheels screeching)
Lynn, come out!

No, no, no, no, no.

(Kristen panting)
Wow, Mom, good job.
(thudding)
Wait, wait, wait. Stay back.
(approaching footfalls)
-Lynn. -Mom.
You all right? Listen, I called the cops.
Okay, that woman Ellie? She's dangerous.
Yeah, Mom got her.
Yeah, the onesie she got you, it was poisoned.
(clattering)
(indistinct radio chatter)
-Thank you so much, officers. -Good night.
Well, they suggest I keep the doors and windows locked.
What a nightmare.
-DAVID: Where are the girls? -They went back to bed.
You should, too. I'll, I-I'll stay.
Oh, thanks, no, but I-I can't sleep now anyway.
It's almost morning.
Oh, Kristen, there's, uh, one other thing I didn't tell you.
Ben, we should talk about it later.
BEN: What?
Everything is a little messy right now.
Oh, no, n-no, it's not that.
-What? -BEN: Um, nothing.
What are you guys talking about?
BEN: Uh, the-the, um...
The stolen car. The license plate.
-KRISTEN: Yeah? -I followed up on it.
Okay? And?
It belongs to a doctor.
A psychiatric doctor at the Lexer-Miller Institute.
One of the female patients stole it.
Oh, my God.
Where Andy is?
KRISTEN: That's how she knew everything about us.
She's fucking my husband.
BEN: Probably.
(tires squeal)
(engine shuts off)
They left this morning.
"They"?
Your husband and, uh, someone else.
Ellie?
Yeah.
I took this from her.
She kept watching it over and over.
I'm sorry.
Fuck him.
It's better that it's unambiguous.
What was the other thing?
What?
The thing you thought Ben was gonna tell me.
We'll talk about it later.
David, come on, you got to tell me now,
otherwise I'll just think you're dying of cancer.
The Church is ending our assessor program.
We're out of a job.
(chuckles lightly)
Yep.
What you see behind me is a secret room
in Leland Townsend's apartment.
This is where Leland drained you of blood
and brain matter for several months.
I need to warn you, Andy.
Your mind isn't always your own now.
You are highly suggestible.
And you need to defend Lexis.
Leland thinks she is a defender of his son Timothy,
who he believes is the Antichrist, so...
