A year later, Ethan is shown with his girlfriend Nora and their baby, heading to Tahiti. He has transitioned to working for the police, as indicated by him discarding his TSA badge. The traveler, played by Jason Bateman, was part of a military contractor's plot to create a crisis to support a controversial bill in Congress.
