[@ed367]

Who was the same Linda all along. With a fake name

[@Pokemanmon]

The explanation: (Watch the video THOROUGHLY before reading this) In the future, a man named Lawrence finds a wormhole leading him back in time, 23 years before the movie took place. By now, the Vietnamese cartel was too powerful, and to help stop them, he implanted information relating to the future in a chip, more about this later. Ten years ago, Petrov and Benjamin met to steal an Elephant with the nuclear codes on it, they kidnapped the wrong Elephant, so they just try to steal the nuclear bomb from Russia, this fails (kinda, you’ll see why later), and Petrov and Benjamin both flee, leaving doppelgangers in their place. But you see, in an alternate reality, they did steal the bomb, and detonated it in Siberia in the present day, more about that later. Petrov and Benjamin both secure high-up government roles, Petrov becoming an agent for the British and Benjamin becoming a CIA agent in Vietnam. Petrov fainted giving valuable info to Mi5, the British homeland security as a rat, and in reality was selling this information to Benjamin, who used this to avoid suspicion while building a drug cartel in Vietnam. After some time, Linda (Petrov’s wife) and Petrov meet again, presumably to settle down and live in criminal retirement in Oslo, but then, a Russian nuclear bomb, the one they tried to steal all those years ago, was detonated in Siberia, despite the bomb still being in Russian hands. As it turns out, the Cecil theorem of Quantum mechanics created two alternate realities, one where they succeeded, and one where they didn’t, and at this point, they blew up a portion of Siberia, but this explosion was a test, you see, working with the scientist Darian, Darian, and Benjamin figured out that the quantum mechanic's theory was real, and they abused it, figuring out that even if they failed in a mission to secure power, their other selves would pick up the slack, so Darian from the future and a different timeline called Petrov and asked him to start a company, and in that alternate reality, the one where Darian and Benjamin didn’t die, they succeeded in making the company, but since they wanted Petrov out of the picture in Timeline 1, they sent the missile to the plane Petrov was on, as he purchased tickets after hearing the same bomb they tried to steal blew up. To be clear, in Timeline 1, Benjamin and Darian are both dead, but alternate versions of themselves are succeeding anyway, and that’s leaking into Timeline 1, with this power, they could easily take over the world, Benjamin is already preparing for it by testing his nuclear theory and killing/capturing agent Linda who was trying to expose his cartel and using other versions of himself to do all of his plans. Lawrence knew how dangerous this was, and he warned the future about this terrible event. In the movie, the American man finds his grandfathers clock, which was actually a portal to the alternate realities, he fights every version of Benjamin and Durian, but you see, they prepared for this by both becoming the Americans father, but sacrificing himself, he killed them anyway, and only this British chap will ever remember agent dingle, the man who single handedly sacrificed himself and saved the world.

An undercover agent in a russian infiltration of an international terrorist plot as a distraction for a kidnapping as a cover for securing an asset that is cleverly split by scientists from the future, which is only foiled by another double agent who gives up the protagonist who is only alive because of a mysterious back motion friend he later meets in a mission provided to him by the secret clan the stranger was working for who actually got recruited by him thru a mission he has yet to embark on involving those relics from the symphony hall.
