Briefing
One mysterious evening circa 1964, Henry Oscill, CEO of Oscillex Luxury Watches, holds a press conference at his upscale Manhattan boutique. As he proudly unveils the diamond-crusted Delta-29—a watch that grants eternal youth to its wearer—there is the sound of breaking glass, a scream...Tick Tock, an agent from the Secret Coalition for Revenge, Assassination, Terrorism, Counterintelligence, and Heists (S.C.R.A.T.C.H.), has broken into the Oscillex lab to steal sensitive scientific research. Ace spy Nick Steele chases after him but is injured in the scuffle and Tick Tock slips off into the shadows.
Soon after, in a posh penthouse on the Upper East Side, Oscill's ex-wife Katherine "Kitty" Hawk, hosts her annual benefit dinner for impoverished orphans. But unbeknownst to the attendees, Kitty, the secret leader of S.C.R.A.T.C.H., is really raising money for her own nefarious plans. As she and Tick Tock gleefully celebrate their fundraising success later that night at the swanky Tempo Club, Sympathy—now secretly pursuing the case on her own—discovers that Kitty was behind the break-in at Oscillex and plans to use the Delta-29 "time-stopping" technology to create a powerful weapon. However, it isn’t long before Sympathy’s secret investigation collides with Henry’s official one. He threatens to report her, and she tries to convince him that they should work together as partners on the case. Just when they’re at an impasse, Henry receives word from HQ that Kitty has demonstrated her time-freeze bomb on Washington D.C. and is attempting to blackmail the President. Considering the severity of the situation, Henry and Sympathy agree to team up, and they head out to Kitty's secret Long Island hideout together.
The duo break into Kitty’s lair and navigate a series of devious traps and dangerous obstacles as they race to the main chamber, where Tick Tock is preparing to launch another bomb. Sympathy and Henry attempt to ambush Kitty and Tick Tock, but are caught and left to die an elaborate death. Sympathy escapes, barely making it out of the compound alive. But when she radios The Agency for help, Pinkerton orders her to stay put until more agents arrive. Sympathy contemplates her situation and decides she has no choice but to venture back in and help Henry before it’s too late.
Exhausted but determined, Sympathy sneaks back into the compound through a secret passageway and frees Henry, and together they burst back into the main chamber. As Henry works frantically to de-activate the bomb, Kitty and Sympathy face off. Kitty tries to persuade Sympathy to join forces with her, but Sympathy resists. An all-out fight ensues, as the seconds, and the bomb, keep on ticking...
