- Cole is set up in the time machine, which looks terrifyingly shoddy.
- The Scientists ensure Cole they are sending him to 1996, right on the money. He is launched back in time and drops right into the middle of a World War I skirmish.

- Cole crawls toward his friend but is shot in the leg. He cries out in pain as he is thrust through time once again.
