Mother of Normandy: The Story of Simone Renaud
A voice-over describes aspects of time - we cannot touch, control, feel time, prisoners in this fourth dimension. One day all of this will be gone. We don't seem to care too much and would rather fight each other. We are not really here for that long. Most of us will only get one chance at all this. College student Aiden is biking to philosophy class on campus. He parks his bike against a metal fence at the edge of campus. In the lecture hall, Professor Wertz is waxing eloquently about the big unknowns in life: "Why? What is all this about? Who am I and how did we all get here? If we look too long at anything, really think too much, it doesn't make sense. We want answers to these questions. Why are we here? I know what I think. I want to know what you all think." He calls on Jennifer who answers that the Bible has all the answers. Dennis spouts off a string of meaningless phrases about likely being a microscopic molecule in an atom making up dirt on the underside of a universal-sized elephant taking a step in our galaxy's lifetime. Aiden responds simply with "I believe in the unknown." Wertz asks the class what happens when you die? The same three students are surveyed. Their responses are "Heaven", "the elephant keeps walking", and "we've been dead a lot more than alive." Wertz has the students take out their exam books. "This is your final exam. You have four and a half hours to take it. See you in the future." When opened, the exam book has one question - Why? After the exam, Aiden heads to the place where he parked his bike. He is startled to see another version of himself. His double says, "Listen carefully - don't go to the Heathscape Motel. Stay away!" He then flees. Back at the house that he shares with Jess and Nick, Aiden tries to tell them about meeting himself. They ask if he's on drugs. Aiden goes to the hospital to see his grandmother, who raised him after he lost his parents. She says, "I've seen you before." His cell phone rings. Aiden answers it, confirms his identity, and mentions the middle name South before begging off. Gran wants to know how his exam went. She notices he is distracted and inquires about what is troubling him. He asks her if there is any history of mental illness or hallucinations in their family. As a non sequitur, she replies, "A golf ball drowned your grandfather. I wish I could see him again." She responds to his question telling of diabetes, breast cancer and baldness in men in their family line. She wonders when he and his girlfriend Lauren are going to get married. He has yet to tell her that they broke up. He mutters, "Maybe soon." Granny remarks that she wants great- grandchildren and a wedding, but not in that order. She then asks him to read to her from the Four Swans. "Where should I start?" "I'm at the beginning." Aidan is seen standing beneath the motel sign at the Heathscape. Its two-story building bends around a parking lot. He goes into the office and is surprised to find his former girlfriend Lauren sitting at the counter. They exchange a few words as they reconnect. Thinking of his double, he asks if he has been there before. The owner, an older man, comes out to check on things. A few minutes later, as he is sitting on a car in the parking lot, Lauren walks up to him. Together they go to the Olympia Diner to visit some more with a little more privacy. He tells her of seeing himself. She says that she is painting besides working at the motel. She inquires how Gran is doing. He informs her that she was put in a care facility shortly after they broke up. When they get back to the motel, Aiden asks Lauren if she would like a lift. They climb in the car. Lauren is on the point of telling him something she thinks is important. She looks ahead and sees something that alarms her. The steering wheel is jerked to the left. The car crashes over an embankment. Lauren is still with much bleeding about her head. At the hospital, Aiden regains consciousness in a confused state. The nurse informs him that he was in a car accident and suffered a concussion. He'll be sore for a few days, but okay after that. Jess and Nick are there. Aiden asks, "Where's Lauren?" They tell him to relax rather than answer his question implying that she died in the crash. Two detectives enter his bay. They order him not to leave the hospital despite not being in custody. A lawyer has been assigned to him and will meet with him tomorrow. Lauren's family has decided to press charges given his past relationship with their daughter. They cannot understand why she was in the car with Aiden. An older, male patient in another bay starts mumbling strange pairs of items. "Peanut butter and Russian currency, the Atlantic Ocean and melted roller blades." When he sees that Aiden is listening, he says that thinking up two, non-related things helps take his mind off of troubles. He suggests Aiden try it. Aiden declines. The man deduces something weird happened to Aiden that got him into the present mess. He advises, "Go to the Heathscape Motel, Room 41. There's a hole in the bathroom floor. You have to go into the floor." The nurse gives Aiden a sedative, saying it will make sure he spends the night there. Just to confirm the location, Aiden calls back to the man, "Room 41?" "Yes. And you're late!" Aiden climbs out of bed and redresses in his street clothes. Pulling his hoodie over his head, he walks out a unobtrusively as possible. After buying a blue-colored sports drink, he is back at the Heatherscape Motel. The owner is on the phone discussing funeral details when he shows up to register for a room. He is given Room 11. In his room with the door locked, he sees a news report of the accident in which Lauren was killed. The newscaster says the police are investigating the accident. Aiden sneaks up to Room 41. The door is locked, so he slips in through a window. He finds that the linoleum floor in the corner of the bathroom can be lifted up to reveal a triangular space underneath. This provides a hiding place just in time as the owner enters the unit. When the owner checks the bathroom, no one is visible. Aiden stays hidden long enough for the owner to have left. When he emerges, the old man from the hospital is jumping on the bed, a bottle of alcohol in one hand and a knife in the other. The man shoos him out the door. Down below, Aiden and Lauren are getting ready to head for the Olympia Diner. He follows them and positions himself inside where he can watch them. He is startled to find that the person next to him is Professor Wertz. Wertz compliments him on his final exam. He also offers an invitation to drop by his place to join him and a couple of friends who meet every Wednesday to talk about science. Aiden watches himself and Lauren talking. The conversation included the fact that he has never told Gran that they broke up. He thinks it would kill her. She still has a picture of the two of them by her bed. Aiden sees himself and Lauren headed back for what would be the fatal ride. He runs toward the accident site, hoping to intercept the car before it crashes. He is there ahead of the car. He jumps out into the car's headlights to flag them down. Too late, he realizes that it was him that caused Lauren to startle and jerk the steering wheel. Helplessly, he watches the crash happen. Desperate for another chance to rescue Lauren from the crash, Aiden goes back to Room 41 to make another try after travelling twelve hours back in time again. The old man is on the bed, bloody from self-inflicted cuts from his knife. Aiden calls for the ambulance before crawling back in the bathroom hole. When Aiden emerges for the second time, he heads back to the shared house. He tries to tell Jess and Nick his fantastic tale of Room 41. They doubt it. To prove his story, he tells Nick to call another version of him who is visiting Gran. Aiden sits there and watches Nick in disbelief have the other Aiden answer the phone and tell him that his brother's middle name is South. Aiden is sitting at a playground near the accident site. His idea this time is to tackle the other version of himself who stood in the middle of the road waving his arms and caused the accident. At the right time, he tackles himself out of the way. The car still crashes. He goes to check on Lauren, pulling her out. He carries her back to Room 41 and lowers her into the hole. He hopes sending her back in time will restore her to a living version. She is not there when he reaches back into the hole to draw her out. It is Wednesday night. Out of ideas, Aiden decides to accept Professor Wertz's invitation to talk with his friends. The other two people present are Jacobs, a physics professor, and a Mr. Wells, an old friend. He disguises the true situation by telling the trio that he is writing a book in which a character time travels. They provide Aiden with their thoughts. Jacobs is mostly a doubter about the feasibility of time travel. After Aiden explains that his character goes back 12 hours into the past each time, Wells draws a diagram to illustrate a series of parallel time-lines. He suggests that it is not possible to change the future of yourself. Instead, he believes Aiden's character needs to change a different version of himself to get the desired result. Wertz tells Aiden a story that illustrates the point Wells was making. When Wertz was a little boy, he wanted to travel into the future. Knowing it was physically impossible, he dedicated his action to become famous by telling everyone of his dream. That way, in the future, when time travel is possible, someone would come back and get the "boy who wanted to time travel". He finishes his advice for the book character with, "Make sure he goes back for the right reasons, influences the most important situations." Aiden is shopping in the convenience store when the two detectives sneak up and apprehend him. They take him to the station for questioning. One reads Aiden's background - 27 years old, graduated two years ago with high marks in philosophy and psychology. He was a state champion in sports and a scout. His mother left him as a baby. His grandmother raised him. He broke up with Lauren a few years ago. Took her for a joyride, crashed and killed her. They ask why he left the hospital when they told him he shouldn't. "We know what you did and why. Were you supposed to die in that crash?" Aiden tells them that he ran off not to get away, but to get back to Room 41. The detectives try to cajole him into a confession, insinuating that the judge will be more lenient. Aiden decides to tell them the truth, that he found a time portal at the motel that leads back to yesterday. He wanted to try and prevent the accident, but couldn't save her. He insists he has to go back and try again. One of the detectives facetiously says, "Why not got back and try to break yourself out of custody?" Aiden quickly replies, "I'm not the only one of me out there. Thanks for the idea!" The detectives take Aiden outside and lock him with handcuffs to a pole alongside another man. Aiden manages to upset a plastic garbage bin, revealing a hacksaw hiding beneath it. He drags the saw closer with his foot so he can pick it up. It is short work to cut through the handcuff chain. The detectives give chase to a fleeing Aiden. Aiden takes to back yards. They almost catch him in a car lot, but he manages to evade them by hiding under one of the cars. Further along, Aiden finds a tool shed with a hacksaw. He uses it to cut the rest of the cuffs off but takes the saw to the motel with him. Aiden emerges from the time portal, and heads directly to the trash bin outside the police department to put the saw under it for his use in the near future. He then returns to the Olympia Diner. This time Aiden encounters the old man from the hospital dressed in a nice suit. He is a lawyer now. He explains that he was preparing to go off to war, and then the strangest thing happened to him. Aiden takes this a hope for altering the future course of his life. To let the man know who he is, he thinks up an odd pairing just like in the motel room. "Tomato sauce and the music note G." He gets a smile back. Aiden is at the nursing home with Gran as the phone rings. She mutters she wishes she could see his grandfather again. She requests that he read to her again. In response to where he should begin, she says, "The end." Aiden is at a graveyard, then his grandparent's old house, and finally at the motel. He is studying a sheet with a time diagram based on the style that Mr. Wells showed him. He heads back into the hole with more determination. When he comes out, the old guy is on the bed again with the knife and the bottle of alcohol. Aiden tells him to put the knife down. He rejects that idea pointing out that if he doesn't cut himself, he won't go to the hospital and be there to meet Aiden the first time and tell him to come to Room 41. He reminds Aiden that he can only influence others, that he cannot actually make a physical change. Aiden asks, "So how do you know you're going to tell me to come here when you haven't been to the hospital yet?" There is a knock on the door. The owner is back. Aiden and the old man quickly hide in the bathroom. Before dropping into the time portal, Aiden tosses an object through the window breaking out the glass. Maybe the owner will think they escaped that way. Aiden pushes the old man to tell him how to influence a version of himself. The man answers, "The trick is to stop the person being in the situation in the first place. Remember, time travels with you." The owner finds no one in the bathroom when he looks. Aiden begins to enter and exit the portal many times. Each time takes him back to 12 hours earlier. At one point he hides in the closet to watch himself and Lauren break up. Aiden returns to the portal and does another set of ins and outs that take him even further back. He travels to Superbowl to watch an early date he had with Lauren. A third set of rapid trips into and out of the portal take him back to 1957. He finds his grandfather with a golf club and a golf ball down by a lake. Before his grandfather can take a swing, he interrupts to ask the way to Blythwell. His grandfather introduces himself as Dwyer, commenting about how familiar Aiden looks. He asks, "Do I know you?" "Not yet," quips Aiden with a subtle smile. Dwyer brings Aiden to meet his wife (a young Gran). He tells her that he is going to give Aiden a lift. Aiden gives him a present, telling him it is very important that it not be opened until tomorrow. Dwyer is at the lake and hits the golf ball in. He readies to wade in, but feels the present from Aiden in his pocket. It's a golf ball. He decides he need not go in the lake for the other one. Gran is at her care facility. Dwyer is there at her side. There is a reprise of Aiden's conversation with Professor Wertz. "Make sure you go back in time for the right reasons. Influence the most important situations." Aiden's image morphs into the owner of Motel 41. We see the owner looking at the same house that belonged to his grandparents. Aiden is seen finishing his philosophy exam. To the question "Why", he answered "Why not?" He goes to pick up his bike that he parked at the fence. The owner of the motel (another version of himself!) is standing a short distance away. He insists that Aiden needs to go to the Heathscape Motel. At the motel, Aiden has reconnected with Lauren. He asks if he can walk her home. She nods yes. The owner is standing in Room 41. A narrator repeats some of the initial statements. "The truth is we're not really here for that long. For the majority of us, we will only get on chance at all this."

A voice-over describes aspects of time - we cannot touch, control, feel time, prisoners in this fourth dimension. One day all of this will be gone. We don't seem to care too much and would rather fight each other.
