Good afternoon, senators.
:04:30
The president is very
grateful for your time here.
:04:33
Believe me, this is a matter
of the utmost importance.
:04:36
I cannot stress too much
the utmost secrecy.
:04:38
Why don't you just
cut out the shit, George?
:04:40
You're here to ask the committee
for money, so come out and ask for it.
:04:44
Thanks for the advice.
I am gonna ask you for money.
:04:47
Guess what else?
You're gonna give it to me.
:04:49
You all remember
Dr. Hans Kleindast...
:04:52
the Nobel Laureate who helped us
during the space program?
:04:55
For 20 years...
:04:57
he's been keeping his face
off of Time magazine doing research.
:05:00
His field of research
has been time travel.
:05:03
- Time travel.
- Time travel.
:05:05
- Well, beam me up, Scotty.
- That's very funny, Senator.
:05:08
- Wanna know what's funnier than that?
- He's gonna tell us.
:05:12
The funny thing is...
the good doctor actually did it.
:05:18
I thought that'd
get your attention.
:05:21
He did it. The technology is
in the folders in front of you.
:05:24
You won't understand it
any better than I can.
:05:26
Now, you can't go forward,
because the future hasn't happened yet.
:05:30
However, you can go back,
and that's where things get tricky.
:05:32
If you go back and change something,
it's serious. It could be catastrophic.
:05:37
It's like throwing
a stone in a lake...
:05:39
only now there
are ripples in time.
:05:42
So you can't go back and kill Hitler,
much as we'd like to...
:05:45
because it could cause
a chain reaction of events...
:05:48
that could alter
or even destroy mankind.
:05:51
And that, my good senators,
is where you come in.
:05:53
We have to form a new agency to police
this technology and protect time.
:05:59
It will be called the Time Enforcement
Commission or the T.E.C.
