and everything gets ruined eventually.
521
00:28:15,300 --> 00:28:20,131
But in the early 1990s,
for a brief, shining moment,
522
00:28:20,133 --> 00:28:24,298
there was a beautiful
union of form and function,
523
00:28:24,300 --> 00:28:26,131
which we call the jet ski,
524
00:28:26,133 --> 00:28:28,433
and a reasonable man cannot differ.
525
00:28:30,342 --> 00:28:31,506
You ever been on one?
526
00:28:31,508 --> 00:28:34,923
No... No.
527
00:28:34,925 --> 00:28:38,881
I think a TVA agent showing up on
a jet ski on the Sacred Timeline,
528
00:28:38,883 --> 00:28:40,923
that would create a branch for sure.
529
00:28:40,925 --> 00:28:42,173
It'd be fun, though.
530
00:28:42,175 --> 00:28:44,675
Yeah, it'd be really fun.
531
00:28:46,050 --> 00:28:47,380
So, why read about them?
532
00:28:49,175 --> 00:28:52,795
Just helps remind me of
what we're fighting for.
533
00:28:55,383 --> 00:28:58,673
I mean, you really believe
in all this stuff, don't you?
534
00:28:58,675 --> 00:29:01,881
I don't get hung up on,
"Believe, not believe."
535
00:29:01,883 --> 00:29:04,090
I just accept what is.
536
00:29:04,092 --> 00:29:07,131
- Three magic lizards...
- Time-Keepers.
537
00:29:07,133 --> 00:29:09,637
- ...created the TVA, and everyone in it...
- Right.
538
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,631
- ...including you?
- Including me.
539
00:29:11,633 --> 00:29:13,756
Every time I start to
admire your intelligence,
540
00:29:13,758 --> 00:29:17,256
- you say something like that.
- Okay, who created you, Loki?
541
00:29:17,258 --> 00:29:18,840
A Frost Giant of Jotunheim.
542
00:29:18,842 --> 00:29:20,256
And who raised you?
543
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:21,548
Odin of Asgard.
544
00:29:21,550 --> 00:29:23,881
Odin, God of the Heavens.
545
00:29:23,883 --> 00:29:27,520
Asgard, mystical
realm, beyond the stars.
546
00:29:27,523 --> 00:29:29,840
- Frost Giants. Listen to yourself...
- It's not the same.
547
00:29:29,842 --> 00:29:31,215
- It's completely different.
- No.
548
00:29:31,217 --> 00:29:33,715
- It's not the same.
- It's exactly the same thing.
549
00:29:33,717 --> 00:29:36,506
Because if you think too hard
about where any of us came from,
550
00:29:36,508 --> 00:29:39,256
who we truly are, it
sounds kinda ridiculous.
551
00:29:39,258 --> 00:29:41,173
Existence is chaos.
552
00:29:41,175 --> 00:29:44,340
Nothing makes any sense, so we
try to make some sense of it.
553
00:29:44,342 --> 00:29:49,423
And I'm just lucky that the chaos
I emerged into gave me all this...
554
00:29:49,425 --> 00:29:52,423
- My own glorious purpose.
- [SCOFFS]
555
00:29:52,425 --> 00:29:54,381
'Cause the TVA is my life.
556
00:29:54,383 --> 00:29:56,513
And it's real because
I believe it's real.
557
00:29:59,633 --> 00:30:02,215
Fair enough. You believe it's real.
558
00:30:02,217 --> 00:30:03,673
Yeah.
559
00:30:03,675 --> 00:30:05,465
So everything is written.
560
00:30:05,467 --> 00:30:07,715
Past, present, future.
561
00:30:07,717 --> 00:30:09,590
There's no such thing as free will.
562
00:30:09,592 --> 00:30:13,131
Well, I mean, you know,
it's an oversimplification...
563
00:30:13,133 --> 00:30:15,590
So, in fact, in a way,
564
00:30:15,592 --> 00:30:21,012
you and I here at the TVA, we're
the only ones who are actually free.
565
00:30:22,550 --> 00:30:24,470
Where are you going with this, Loki?
566
00:30:25,675 --> 00:30:27,090
How does it all end?
567
00:30:27,092 --> 00:30:28,756
That's a work in progress.
568
00:30:28,758 --> 00:30:31,798
Oh, those lazy Time-Keepers.
What are they waiting for?
569
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,090
Au contraire.
570
00:30:33,092 --> 00:30:36,631
No. Because while we
protect what came before,
571
00:30:36,633 --> 00:30:39,298
they're toiling away in their chamber,
572
00:30:39,300 --> 00:30:43,673
untangling the epilogue
from its infinite branches.
573
00:30:43,675 --> 00:30:47,048
Ah, I see. So, when they're
finished, what happens then?
574
00:30:47,050 --> 00:30:48,465
So are we.
575
00:30:48,467 --> 00:30:50,173
No more nexus events.
576
00:30:50,175 --> 00:30:51,298
Just order.
577
00:30:51,300 --> 00:30:53,930
And we meet in peace at the end of time.
578
00:30:55,092 --> 00:30:56,512
Nice, right?
579
00:30:58,758 --> 00:31:00,131
- Only order?
- Mmm-hmm.
580
00:31:00,133 --> 00:31:02,881
No chaos? It sounds boring.
581
00:31:02,883 --> 00:31:04,673
I'm sure it does to you.
582
00:31:04,675 --> 00:31:06,548
You called me a scared little boy.
583
00:31:06,550 --> 00:31:08,090
I called you a lotta things.
584
00:31:08,092 --> 00:31:09,262
You did.
585
00:31:10,342 --> 00:31:11,512
You're wrong, though.
586
00:31:13,175 --> 00:31:15,131
You see, I know
something children don't.
587
00:31:15,133 --> 00:31:17,131
What's that?
588
00:31:17,133 --> 00:31:19,383
That no one bad is ever truly bad.
589
00:31:20,842 --> 00:31:22,972
And no one good is ever truly good.
590
00:31:26,342 --> 00:31:28,506
Scared little boy.
591
00:31:28,508 --> 00:31:29,916
Yes, it was quite patronizing.
592
00:31:29,917 --> 00:31:31,998
I thought it was a bit too far, actually.
593
00:31:36,258 --> 00:31:37,588
You're very clever.
594
00:31:39,967 --> 00:31:40,967
I know.
595
00:31:43,383 --> 00:31:46,715
The Variant left something
behind at an old crime scene.
596
00:31:46,717 --> 00:31:48,756
A cathedral. A candy box.
597
00:31:48,758 --> 00:31:50,131
An obvious anachronism.
598
00:31:50,133 --> 00:31:52,881
I gave it to Analysis, but they
couldn't find anything real.
599
00:31:52,883 --> 00:31:55,548
- Why does that matter?
- 'Cause now we have two variables.
600
00:31:55,550 --> 00:31:57,797
Apocalyptic natural disasters and...
601
00:32:00,883 --> 00:32:03,173
- Kablooie.
- LOKI: What's that?
602
00:32:03,175 --> 00:32:05,673
Candy. Do you have candy on Asgard?
603
00:32:05,675 --> 00:32:07,756
Yeah. Grapes, nuts.
604
00:32:07,758 --> 00:32:10,215
No wonder you're so bitter.
605
00:32:10,217 --> 00:32:14,715
Okay. Kablooie was only sold
regionally on Earth from 2047 to 2051.
606
00:32:14,717 --> 00:32:17,881
We need to cross-reference that
with every apocalyptic event.
607
00:32:17,883 --> 00:32:19,048
I'm gonna give you half.
608
00:32:19,050 --> 00:32:20,833
And let's make it a competition,
see who finds it.
609
00:32:20,836 --> 00:32:22,417
- Sure.
- Okay. You wanna bet something?
610
00:32:22,420 --> 00:32:23,756
- Yeah.
- Gentleman's bet.
611
00:32:23,758 --> 00:32:26,810
Yeah, let's play for pride.
Okay. May the best man win. Go.
612
00:32:28,008 --> 00:32:29,881
- Anything?
- Uh...
613
00:32:29,883 --> 00:32:32,923
It's not the climate disaster of 2048.
614
00:32:32,925 --> 00:32:34,548
Or the tsunami of 2051.
615
00:32:34,550 --> 00:32:36,590
Let's go. Let's go. Come on.
616

2050.
617
00:32:38,092 --> 00:32:40,631
The extinction of the
swallow... Is that a thing?
618
00:32:40,633 --> 00:32:42,631
Completely screwed up the ecosystem.
619
00:32:42,633 --> 00:32:45,090
Krakatoa erupted in 2049 as well.
620
00:32:45,092 --> 00:32:46,381
No Kablooie.

God, it's just one damn
thing after another, isn't it?
622
00:32:48,967 --> 00:32:52,127
- Cyclone, famine, volcanoes, floods...
- Got him.

- That's where he is.
- MOBIUS: Alabama, 2050.

You're gonna take my
job if I'm not careful.
625
00:33:04,675 --> 00:33:07,715
You want me to approve deployment
of a fully-armed task force to...
626
00:33:07,717 --> 00:33:09,840
- Yeah.
- ...the Variant's potential hiding spot?
627
00:33:09,842 --> 00:33:11,715
Haven Hills, Alabama, corporate town
628
00:33:11,717 --> 00:33:14,090
owned by Roxxcart until it's
wiped out by a hurricane.
629
00:33:14,092 --> 00:33:15,673
All the food and supplies you need.
630
00:33:15,675 --> 00:33:17,133
If he likes it, there's no reason
631
00:33:17,136 --> 00:33:20,215
he can't keep going back and
just camping out, over and over.
632
00:33:20,217 --> 00:33:22,506
And this is all based on
a theory from the Variant
633
00:33:22,508 --> 00:33:25,548
- who just blew your previous mission?
- Yeah, he's doing great.
634
00:33:25,550 --> 00:33:27,298
Mobius, as your friend,
635
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:30,211
I have to tell you that trusting
this man is not a good idea.
636
00:33:30,214 --> 00:33:32,301
No. I know. But maybe
he's worth the trouble.
637
00:33:32,304 --> 00:33:34,700
He just uncovered a massive
hole in our security.
638
00:33:34,703 --> 00:33:37,006
That's what concerns me!
639
00:33:37,008 --> 00:33:39,006
I can handle him. Trust me.
640
00:33:39,008 --> 00:33:40,631
This is where we get our guy.

You, I trust, but him.

instinct is telling me
643
00:33:44,383 --> 00:33:46,223
this is where we nail the Variant.
644
00:33:48,592 --> 00:33:51,215
Come on. You don't see me
usually this worked up, right?
645
00:33:51,217 --> 00:33:52,881
I'm excited.

00:33:52,883 --> 00:33:54,883
I'm chomping at the bit.

- Yeah?

do if it doesn't work out.

I didn't say that.

Absolutely not.

Roxxcart is a vast
superstore common to the era.

It consists of a series
of sprawling sections,

including a large warehouse.
667
00:34:55,467 --> 00:34:57,590

to ride out the storm.
669

Remember, this is a
class ten apocalypse.
670
00:35:02,633 --> 00:35:04,715
While the Variant
shouldn't know we're coming,
671
00:35:04,717 --> 00:35:07,715
he could be hiding anywhere and
should be considered hostile.
672
00:35:07,717 --> 00:35:09,298
So stay alert.
673
00:35:09,300 --> 00:35:13,506
Every time there is an attack,
the Variant steals a reset charge.
674
00:35:13,508 --> 00:35:15,006
He's planning something.
675
00:35:15,008 --> 00:35:16,423
We just don't know what.
676
00:35:16,425 --> 00:35:18,881
So keep an eye out for
the missing charges,
677
00:35:18,883 --> 00:35:22,473
