Emma leaves her apartment and steps over Archie, who is asleep outside her door. Archie follows her onto the street and tells her to walk past Stirling Cafe at five o'clock. Emma ignores him and takes an alternate route down Fifth Avenue. When she steps into a crosswalk, a taxi speeds directly toward her. Archie lunges forward, pushes Emma to safety, and crashes onto the asphalt with bloody cuts.
Emma steps outside her apartment door and spots Archie asleep on the floor with a glowing transparent device. She steps over his legs and walks away down the corridor. Archie wakes up instantly and runs after her.
Archie pursues Emma along the sidewalk. Emma threatens to report him to the police. Archie holds up a clear card and instructs her to leave her office at five to visit Stirling Cafe. Emma dismisses him and continues walking.
Emma deliberately takes a side street along Fifth Avenue instead of heading toward the bridge. She steps out into the road to disprove Archie's words. A speeding yellow taxi charges straight at her, and she freezes on the pavement.
Archie dashes into the street and shoves Emma out of the taxi's path. The cab slams into a nearby fire hydrant. Archie tumbles hard across the rough asphalt, scraping his face and tearing open his hands.
Archie drags himself over to Emma by the spraying hydrant. Emma notices his bleeding skin and understands that he foresaw the impact. Archie says she was injured today in the past, and Emma grips his wounded hand.
“Stop following me. I'll call the cops and have you sent to a shelter.”
“Today at 5:00 p.m., you leave work on time. Walk past Stirling Cafe by Brooklyn Bridge.”
“You knew this car was going to hit me.”
“Because in the original timeline, you ended up in the hospital today.”
Emma sits on the pavement beside the broken fire hydrant, holding Archie's injured, bleeding hands. Archie cries as he explains that she was originally sent to the hospital on this very day. Will Emma finally accept that Archie traveled from the future, and will she follow his directions to Stirling Cafe?
