This needed to be said because, I guess, no one listening had ever watched or read a single piece of science-fiction in their lives. He's a timecop, employed by the Time Enforcement Commission to go back and stop wrongdoers from altering the past to improve their futures. Max is still very sad about his wife being dead, but he has thrown himself into his work, unhindered by his indecipherable Belgian accent. You can tell it's the future because now the big, boxy cars are covered in futuristic-looking steel, and because everyone's 1994 hairstyles look out of fashion.
