So
Where is he?
Speak!
And what?
What you’re doing here.
I've been traveling for some time
and wanted to ask if I may warm me up for a while
and get a sip of coffee.
I'll be on my way again.
Coffee?
Who the hell are you?
My name is Jack Nekoti.
Never heard of you.
I am a hunter.
I am from around here and I see you for the first time.
Not many people here know me.
I spend a lot of time in the woods.
And you? Do you have a name?
I am asking the questions here!
Sorry, I just wanted to know who I'm talking to.
Or shall I guess your name?
Well, if you manage that, you can have a cup.
That’s hard.
But I’ll try.
You’re out here all alone here without a horse.
And you seem a bit agitated.
I see two bags very well filled.
If I’m not mistaken, the mail coach company uses similar ones.
I’m sure it could be five thousand or more.
We are far up in the north.
Hm.
There are not many brave people strong and passionate
to rob a well protected mail coach in this area
But
could you be the infamous
P... P... P...
Pete
Pete Parker?
Damn it, it’s John Parker!
Pete is my little brother.
Ah.
Johny Boy, the other one.
It is John Parker!
Not Johny Boy.
I'm sorry, I didn’t know that you did not care for the name.
That’s my nickname.
And how did you get it?
I got that from a sheriff I killed.
That sheriff wanted to tell me and my boys what to do.
There was a firearms ban in that city.
Of course we did not obey.
One day in the saloon,
he came up to us
just like that and just punched my little brother.
And if you're anyone but our goddamned mother who hits Pete
then you’re done.
I shot off both his kneecaps.
He went down,
I finished my drink
and walked to the door.
Suddenly this bastard pulled out his revolver.
What was I supposed to do?
Either him
or me.
So I shot his balls off.
It was really enjoyable
seeing him lying there in his own blood
without knees
and without balls.
H-E-L-P!
But because I am a good guy,
I put him out of his misery.
The name you’ve mentioned before always reminds me of this story
and I do not care to think about it.
So never call me
Johny Boy!
I think I've heard this story before.
Could I have a coffee now?
For a Nobody from the north you've heard a lot.
People talk a lot.
What do you hunt?
Wild animals.
What kind of animal is this?
A deer,
still a cub.
Take a good look at it.
Ah.
Well,
how does that feel?
Hm?
You're this damned Jack,
the insane bounty hunter!
Yes, I'm this damned Jack. And unlike you, I like my nickname.
Go ahead, do it! My brother will kill you.
Oh, my brother will kill me for this, my brother will kill me for this.
Fuck it!
You know what? I’ll tell you a story. And you will listen carefully to it.
Do you know that I met little Pete today?
Ah.
You dirty bastard, what did you do to him?
That was right after your attack on the mail coach.
As you two split up I followed him.
And do you know what I did then?
He begged me, he really, really begged me,
but do you know what I did then?
I shot off his kneecaps.
Yes.
Just the same way you did to my brother Tom.
You know.
The sheriff from your little story.
That was your brother?
Yes.
Tom and me were brothers.
I swore back then that I would hunt you down.
I was searching for you but I couldn’t find you.
I was afraid I would never find you again.
But the attack on the mail coach helped me.
I was planning on laying out your bled out brother in front of you.
Just so that you suffer.
Just so that you suffer like I did.
You know what?
Fuck it!
Ah.
You know what?
Time heals all wounds.
John.
Please help me.

CHAPTER ONE - DENIAL
Pete, do you remember
that cold winter when the snow locked us in
our cabin and we were trapped in
a huge, icy, white world?
It was so endless.
You were tiny, but you were already great at getting up to mischief.
Mother was barely keeping up.
You almost got stuck in the chimney.
“Freedom, I want to go out into the snow.”
You always had to be looked after.
What would you have done out there, huh?
Tell me.
You don’t answer.
Your ticking has stopped.
I have to admit,
that when I received the message from my great-grandfather,
I was not expecting someone like you.
Surprise is science’s best friend, isn't it?
I would say that it is curiosity.
Yes, definitely curiosity.
That's also the reason I invited you.
And I thought the reason was gathering the whole family together.
Where are the wonderful values of our good old days?
I just wanted to tell you personally.
What you are trying to do here
isn't possible.
And if anyone knows, it's me.
Knowledge from books.
I have to say, I'm a little disappointed.
In our family,
practice has always been greatly preferred over theory.
Save yourself the trouble?
Have my colleagues hired you?
They would do anything to stop me from doing my research.
But you.
You must be crazy to think I would allow this.
Or to believe you.
Crazy.
A lot of things are crazy.
Probably even most of them.
Why should I be an exception?
I need your help to fix the watch.
Which watch?
The watch which allows me to jump through time.
I'll tell you again, that's not possible.
She jumps a few hours.
But I cannot travel back as much as used to be able to.
It was once capable of so much more.
There is something very important I have to do in my time.
Help me.
Please.
I need your help.
I can't do it alone.
I'd really like to help you out, but.
You can become one of the most famous physicists humanity has ever seen.
Who says that’s what I even want?
What do you want?
I want you to leave my house right now.
There's the door.
Should I still leave the house?
How many times did you have to turn back the clock for this to happen?
Not as often as you might think.
Yes, of course.
The first moment you really want to get out
of an unpleasant conversation with a supposedly insane person
and the next moment you're lying in bed with them.
If I didn't believe in the unlimited possibilities of science
it would almost seem like...
Magic!
Yes.
Hmm.
This time has lost quite some of its magic.
Hmm.
In this time,
alchemical processes take place.
Technology is creating possibilities
I couldn't even have imagined hundred years ago.
These are miracles.
Miracles, do you understand?
And yet, people are blind to this magic.
Except for you.
Apparently it runs in the family.
If we manage to fix this pocket watch.
We can form the world the way we want.
Then everything would be possible.
We could prevent wars and stop injustice.
We could change the world.
We can show people that everything is possible.
Everything.
Whoa, whoa.
I can't believe it.
This madman.
This maniac.
He actually ripped you out of your life.
It seems like it was yesterday when we robbed the stagecoach.
The coachman was astonished by your punch.
And honestly Pete,
I was surprised too.
Where did you learn that?
There is still so much I want to tell you.
John.
I feel...
Your voice!
Your voice brother.
I can still hear it.
It rages like a thunderstorm inside me.
The last words you said to me before you died.
I can't forget them.
I swore that I would hunt these two sons of bitches
until the earth was soaked with their blood.
I will set all the bloodhounds of the world on them.
I will hunt, hunt, hunt them until the bitter end.
You know.
I look forward to the moment when they kneel on the ground in front of me.
Whimpering and begging for their miserable, useless lives.
I didn't forget your words.
I will seek revenge.
I'll be there.
I will keep my promise.
You can rely on me.
CHAPTER TWO - ANGER
I was never a man of revenge.
I never asked for much.
I was loyal
humble
brave
and the only thing being good,
being beautiful in my life,
was taken away from me.
Ah!
What am I doing here?
John.
So you found my old friend.
Old friend.
The guy looks like he's about to die.
Fatally ill.
Something like that? Yes!
Then we have to help him.
I already have
by bringing him here to 1979.
In his time he would have died long ago.
But he needs medical help.
He needs some real food or at least a blanket.
He will have it all, trust me.
Why have you tied him up?
For our safety, my love.
You haven't seen what he's capable of.
The weak guy?
Help me.
You don't want to help him, do you?
Help is a very flexible term.
Only naive people believe that you can really save others.
So you won't help him?
In some ways, yes.
Or do you not believe me?
Yes
of course.
Whoa.
This is where it happened!
This means...
You won't find him here.
Put that in, lonely wanderer.
Come on, you have to obey me.
You're not supposed to be enjoying yourself, bastard.
You're supposed to be helping, as Janna would say
Your little rescuer would like it
if we were all one big family.
But for that you have to help me.
I don't know how to fix this wretched clock.
I don't even know how I ended up in this goddamn time.
I believe you.
No one survives my
“truth-finding methodology” with just a hint of lie in their body.
You bastard.
You tortured me
and I don't even remember that.
Hmm. It will happen in the future.
Well now I'm reassured.
I know you hate me, little Pete.
I would be shocked if it were otherwise.
But remember.
If we can't fix this watch.
We are both trapped in this time forever.
You still won't be able to save
your little, dead brother.
Shut your dirty mouth! You bastard.
Let him be!
This is still my house.
Everything OK?
Does it hurt?
I'm used to worse.
Can I get you anything?
No.
Go, please.
Go or he'll hurt you too.
Leave please.
Yes.
Go.
Jack.
I am a physicist with a double PhD.
All day long I am dealing with men who think
I'm not suitable for research just because I'm a woman.
And?
Why do you care about the opinion of others?
I don't care about their opinion, but I do care about yours.
And you think you can
soothe me with lukewarm excuses about Pete.
What did he do to you?
He didn't do anything. He's an old friend.
An old friend that you keep hostage and torture?
You understand nothing about my time.
What do you want to do with him?
I already said that.
Tell me the truth.
Please, you can trust me!
He
He must die.
Does he really have to?
Yes.
There is no other way.
There's a lot you don't know.
Because you're keeping it from me.
You would not understand.
Just try me.
My brother.
He was a fine person.
A soul of a human being.
He was different.
He was kind-hearted and friendly,
maybe a little naive.
Pete he,
he reminds me of him.
You have a brother?
In your time?
I had a brother.
Before
John killed him.
John?
That bastard John is Pete's brother.
And that's why he has to be here.
Be there for what?
So you shall give, life for life,
eye for eye, tooth for tooth,
hand for hand, foot for foot, brand for brand.
Yes. Okay, you want your revenge Okay.
Then take revenge on John.
But don't take your hate out on Pete.
You cannot tell me what to do.
You need my help. You depend on me.
That bastard John took the only thing I had.
Nothing will happen to Pete.
And that's a condition.
Promise me!
I promise.
It stopped working, hasn’t it?
Who are you and why are you chasing me?
I'm an old friend, John.
My name is Aiona.
Do you remember?
And you're chasing me.
For a long, long time now.
What is happening to me?
You walk.
You breathe.
You eat.
I don't know where I am.
No, I know where I am, I don't know when I am.
Is that important?
It's important for me!
My brother Pete.
I remember his death, but his grave is empty.
I know that Jack the Madman had something to do with it.
There was...
...a fight.
And?
I don't know for sure. That is exactly my problem.
You humans are strange creatures.
You always want to know everything.
Let me tell you a story.
Tell me, are you hard of hearing? I have no time for fairy tales!
Oh.
If you no longer have the time or the muse to listen to stories,
you shouldn't be surprised if your life is shrouded in darkness.
Ah!
John, I solved the problem.
The paradox disappears when we apply a nonlinear logic.
This will change all our calculations.
Soon we will be able to travel through time again.
William Parker.
Aiona!
Come back!
How come this wound never stops bleeding?
Just ask Jack.
Uh!
Don't worry...
...when he's working on his watch,
he won't notice anything.
He's obsessed.
Jack is brilliant!
You are brilliant.
Book knowledge.
I've never met a woman like you.
There are no such women in my time.
Yes,
these women exist in your time too.
You're just not seeing them.
Ouch!
Sorry.
I just feel like I'm being overlooked sometimes even in this time.
And that what I say...
...is less true just because I say it in a female voice.
Jack too, he needs me but...
...he doesn't see me.
I see you.
I see this magical light glowing down on you.
And sparkling on your hair.
I see your clever head.
Pondering over so many books,
and your...
...delicate hands, which understand so much about medicine...
...and look after me so lovingly.
Mmm.
While you were whispering sweet nothings, I fixed the clock.
Your time has come.
Is that possible?
CHAPTER THREE - BARGAINING
You're back, finally!
Finally.
What an interesting word!
Have you ever thought about that?
No more games, please!
What a pity.
I have...
...I found this letter, it's from my father and it's dated.
This has to be a mistake.
Are you ready for a story now?
Finally!
Yes.
Hear, hear,
the serious John finally finds some time to spare.
So, my dear, listen carefully.
Once upon a time lived a gifted watchmaker
and a brilliant alchemist.
They were best friends.
Together they figured out how to capture time,
their greatest enemy, with an ordinary pocket watch.
That way, they could change time as they pleased.
They went to war with their ancestors,
drank wine with their descendants
and were able to collect all future knowledge in their clever heads.
Two watches were made,
but as it often happens with young, eager men,
the first disagreements soon arose.
Each of them just wanted the two watches for themselves.
Their minds were soon confused by the many jumps in time,
didn't find a solution and so a bitter dispute broke out.
The watchmaker killed the alchemist in a fight
and gave the pocket watches to his two sons.
I don't understand.
You can't understand.
That's not what it's about.
Playing with time has consequences John.
People are used to linear time.
Your mind isn't ready to fall out of time yet.
Do you know where my brother is?
Yes.
Tell me.
No.
Aiona, please tell me.
I'll give you anything you want, money! Do you want money?
There is only one thing you can give me,
but it is of no material value.
Anything you want.
Bring me the second watch which Jack the Madman took.
The pocket watch?
Yes.
But what do you want with that pocket watch?
You, who can jump around so freely in the worlds.
My wishes are my own business.
All right.
Bring me the pocket watch.
I will bring it to you, and now help me!
Actually, I've already helped you more than enough.
I don’t know what’s going to happen.
The story can develop in an infinite number of directions.
Unfortunately, I can't influence it.
Are you ready?
Yes.
Close your eyes.
Pete!
John!
John help me!
Run away!
Pete!
John!
Pete!
John!
What do you mean, his time is up?
You promised me that nothing will happen to him.
How often I had to turn back time to prevent your love.
You did what?
You lousy, lying, dirty...
No.
Not now.
The boy will die.
One way or the other.
Do you want to save one person or many people?
If you want to have what you desire,
you have to play by my rules.
I'm sorry.
Pete.
I have to help him.
Be patient!
Patient?
How can I be patient after what I just saw?
It is almost time.
It's not in my hands.
Have faith.
Trust you?
You don’t have to trust me. Just have faith.
I could think of something nice we could do to pass the time.
John.
People say that I am just an illusion.
Don't you want to convince yourself otherwise?
I have to fix the watch.
It's Pete's watch.
You wanted to help me, right?
I have to go.
How long have we been here for?
A few years.
In your way of thinking.
How is that possible?
Don't try to understand, just have faith.
Farewell.
Aiona wait.
Give me one last hint please.
You have fixed this watch so many times.
Even if you can't remember.
Just have faith.
The paradox disappears when we use non-linear logic.
This changes all our calculations.
A non-linear logic.
Non-linear.
It is winter.
It's been going on far too long.
Pete.
What strange time did you end up at?
John.
Pete.
Hello Johnny.
You wanted to surprise us?
We beat you to it.
Hand over your weapon.
Otherwise, he will be dead long before you can say paradox.
My watch was finished just in time for me...
...to discover, on my first trip into the past,
that you are no longer in your time.
We had no other choice than to wait.
You waited?
Hmm.
Luckily little Pete passed the time by repeatedly sending
his pitiful cries for help through the space-time continuum.
There's a lot you can do with these watches.
You can travel forward, jump backwards.
Experiencing things over and over again.
But there's one thing you can't do.
Outwit death.
So he's dead?
Something like that.
But alive enough to feel this
Stay put, otherwise you'll feel the same!
Pete. Can you hear me?
Come on.
CHAPTER FOUR - DEPRESSION
Come on.
Pete.
I thought it was a dream.
I thought you were just a crazy nightmare.
Crazy nightmare.
No one has called me that in a long time.
What did you do to my brother?
While you were whining for the last century...
...I saved him.
You didn't save him, you shot him.
Shot down, shot and brought here, so in a sense saved.
You're sick.
Now I remembered.
It's been going on for too long.
You always overdid it!
Exaggerated?
You killed my brother first.
Now don't be a killjoy, Johnny Boy.
You haven't seen what I'm going to do with him yet.
Jack please.
Ah.
What a monster I am!
I completely forgot to introduce you:
Janna, my lovely granddaughter.
John Parker the son of a bitch who killed my brother.
Janna my lovely granddaughter.
So now you know each other.
Ah. By the way, without Janna...
...I wouldn't have been able to repair the watch.
Thanks again.
How did you do it?
It wasn't broken.
It can't be broken at all.
You only know that when you understand its essence.
I remembered and...
...just stepped out of the linearity.
Do you see Janna?
These are the men from my time.
This man still understands magic.
Ah.
Enough talking.
Um.
Now for the Grand Finale.
If you can even call it that.
Hmm.
When it repeats itself forever.
You can not be serious?
John.
This is for you.
That's enough!
You wouldn’t do that to your great-great-great...
Pete.
Let's go home.
Hey, Pete.
Hold on.
It will be alright.
Breathe. Pete.
We are at home again.
Let's end it once and for all.
Right now.
In this time.
It's been a long journey Jack.
And if there's one thing I've learned from this...
...It's that time is valuable.
Whether we understand it or not.
Whether it's an illusion or not.
We only have this one life.
And I don't want to take that away from you, my old friend.
Oh, Johnny.
I didn't know there was a poetic side to you.
If I had noticed this earlier,
we would have met here much earlier to chat.
Mock me all you want.
This is my peace offering under one condition.
Pass me my pocket watch.
Your pocket watch.
It never was your pocket watch.
Not even your father's.
Your father stole it from my father.
I didn't know that.
That doesn't help us, it is centuries too late for peace.
It's never too late.
There are two kinds of men:
Those who talk and can't stop because they're afraid.
And those with loaded revolvers.
Don’t be a disappointment in your last breaths.
Uh!
Ah!
Please let me live.
Please.
Please let me live!
Paradox!
Pete.
Hey, no, no, no.
Hey, hey.
We're just going back in time. I know how to do that now.
Everything will be fine.
John.
It's okay.
No time in the world can bring him back.
Let him go!
CHAPTER FIVE - ACCEPTANCE
Farewell, little brother!
It was the right decision, John.
Why did you help me?
Humans are not ready for the chaos of timelessness.
It drove Jack crazy.
And you almost met the same fate.
