A Sound of Thunder (2005) (part 7 of 13)
As Ryer leaves the facility, he overhears Hatton trying to convince Agent Derris to lighten up. Derris replies that even he has his limits, and then he storms off.
Hatton tries next with Ryer, protesting that the government will take too long to figure out what went wrong. He says if the federal agents fell out a window, it would take them a week to hit the ground. Normally, I’d be inclined to agree with Hatton, but in this universe, the evidence appears to be to the contrary. The agents were on the scene minutes after the report was filed!
Ryer is convinced that something in the Eckles/Middleton jump must be responsible for their current circumstances. He takes off, saying he knows who can figure out this whole mess. Crap. Time to reintroduce Sonia Rand into the proceedings, I guess.
