:25:00
I'd love to hear about
his most recent mission.
:25:03
- I have a report to file.
- Agent Walker would be delighted.
:25:07
All units switch to TEC channel three.
:25:10
All units switch
to TEC channel three.
:25:13
As you can see,
we've spared every expense.
:25:16
No comfort, no convenience,
no necessities. Watch your head.
:25:20
So, Agent Walker,
who were you after?
:25:22
A man named Atwood.
Ring a bell?
:25:24
Atwood. No.
Should that name be familiar to me?
:25:28
- Unfortunately, Atwood was a TEC agent.
- Really?
:25:32
See, George, I don't
want to sound like a broken record...
:25:35
but that's one of the dangers
of having an agency like this.
:25:38
- Imagine the dangers of not having it.
- Did you know this Atwood?
:25:42
He was my partner.
:25:44
Oh, I'm sorry.
Nothing worse than a rogue cop.
:25:48
- Except the guy who paid him.
- If there is such a guy.
:25:51
- There always is.
- Do you know who the man is?
:25:55
- Oh, yeah.
- Why don't you arrest him?
:25:58
- I lost my witness.
- Oh.
:26:01
Well, I trust you'll
keep working on it.
:26:03
You can bet on it.
:26:09
Hydrogen specialists,
prepare for inspection.
:26:15
We've updated our entire operation
to Parker Datalink Systems...
:26:19
utilizing their
superconducting chip.
:26:21
Senator McComb
was Jack Parker's partner...
:26:23
and sold out before the company
got the patent on that chip.
:26:27
- Bet that cost you a few billion.
- Whoa, bad luck.
:26:31
My deal with Jack Parker
is not important, Mr. Spota.
:26:35
What is important is talking about
the dangers of this program.
:26:38
- You got my vote.
- Excuse me. What dangers?
:26:41
Well, dishonest agents
like this, uh, Atwood.
:26:44
Every time an agent goes back,
he risks making contact with
the past version of himself.
:26:48
- That could be a disaster.
- And why is that?
:26:51
The same matter can't occupy
the same space at the same time.
:26:54
It's never happened.
:26:57
Not yet, but what I propose...
:26:59
is far less costly
yet accomplishes the same thing.
