1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,140 Speaker 1: Sandel squirmed against the man's grip, but he held her tight. This is the 2 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: part where you tell me everything. 3 00:00:10,060 --> 00:00:14,140 Speaker 1: He emphasized his point by pressing the knife just hard enough to prick her skin. 4 00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:21,380 Speaker 1: I'm here on a job. With who? Two others. Hmm, 5 00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: would that be the two men you sat with? Yes, how did... Ah, ah, ah, ah, 6 00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:33,200 Speaker 1: keep talking. He'd been watching them? How? She'd been careful. 7 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:38,800 Speaker 1: So careful. A job for who? Talk. 8 00:00:40,300 --> 00:00:46,120 Speaker 1: I can't say. The knife bit into Sandel's skin, sinking in just half an inch but 9 00:00:46,160 --> 00:00:49,260 Speaker 1: enough to make her gasp in pain. The Puppeteer. 10 00:00:51,780 --> 00:00:57,140 Speaker 1: Figured, but I needed to be sure. Didn't guess they'd send more than one team. That 11 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:02,940 Speaker 1: was dirty. Then he sighed, like he was stealing himself to do 12 00:01:03,020 --> 00:01:08,900 Speaker 1: something he would dislike. And Sandel's intuition told her this was it. If 13 00:01:08,960 --> 00:01:14,780 Speaker 1: she didn't fight now, there wouldn't be another chance. She didn't drift. Not right 14 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: away, because he would be expecting that. Instead, she brought her head back as hard 15 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: as she could. She felt a crunch against the back of her head and felt a knife dig 16 00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 1: into her side. Then she was drifting. Not forward, toward the present frame, but 17 00:01:28,460 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: backward. Backward as fast as she could go. She flew through time. The shock trooper 18 00:01:34,420 --> 00:01:39,460 Speaker 1: guards reappeared. The vault door reappeared. Minutes flew by in mere seconds. She 19 00:01:39,500 --> 00:01:44,380 Speaker 1: watched the two guards talk to each other, silently with exaggerated speed. Harder. 20 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: She needed to push harder. A man with a hat briefly flickered into view. She drifted 21 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:54,900 Speaker 1: farther back in time to get away from him. Her head was spinning. Nausea started to 22 00:01:54,980 --> 00:02:00,980 Speaker 1: set in. She'd never gone this fast. Never tried to race to the brink. The 23 00:02:01,060 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: man in the hat appeared in an instant and rammed a shoulder into her. Sandel fell 24 00:02:05,580 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: over, drifted a dozen frames, then got back up. He appeared next to her and stabbed 25 00:02:10,340 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: with the knife. She drifted away, causing him to vanish just before the knife struck 26 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:19,580 Speaker 1: her. Sandel breathed heavily. Her mind was stuffy. Her fingers tingled and her limbs 27 00:02:19,620 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: went numb. Too fast. She was going too fast. But she kept drifting 28 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,500 Speaker 1: anyway. It was the only way. The only way to escape. 29 00:02:46,220 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: Sandel didn't know how far back in time she'd gone when she finally stopped. It had 30 00:02:51,140 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 1: only been a few minutes for her, but these frames were probably hours old already. 31 00:02:57,060 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: When she stood, she looked up at open sky. The train around her was melting away 32 00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:08,580 Speaker 1: into black dust. The desert around the train was darkness, deep and black. 33 00:03:09,700 --> 00:03:14,620 Speaker 1: Two men lay on the ground here, one curled up in a fetal position, the other 34 00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: completely motionless. Sandel tried to drift farther back but felt a strong 35 00:03:19,860 --> 00:03:25,820 Speaker 1: resistance. There were no older frames. She was here. She 36 00:03:25,920 --> 00:03:31,520 Speaker 1: panicked and waited for it, but the man in the hat didn't appear again. One of the 37 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:37,580 Speaker 1: shock troopers on the ground looked up at her. Are you real? Sandel 38 00:03:37,700 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: stumbled backward. What were they doing here? They were alive? How did they 39 00:03:43,580 --> 00:03:48,740 Speaker 1: get here? She kept walking backwards. The vault door was still here in this frame, 40 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 1: but part of the wall was missing already. Finally, a bit of good luck. She slipped 41 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,660 Speaker 1: through the disintegrating wall and ran down the length of the vault car, away from 42 00:03:57,700 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: the shock trooper. Where am 43 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:03,180 Speaker 1: I? Where am I? Where am 44 00:04:06,860 --> 00:04:11,020 Speaker 1: I? She kept running. She made it two full train cars before the erosion finally 45 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 1: caught up to her. The train ahead was falling apart. The screaming man finally 46 00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:22,900 Speaker 1: fell silent as the erosion moved over him, too. She waited until the very last 47 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: moment, until everything around her was darkness, until everything was 48 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: dust. Then, she drifted forward.
