Continuum (2012–2015): Season 1, Episode 2 - Fast Times - full transcript

When Kiera discovers Liber8's plan to return to 2077, she must decide whether or not to align herself with her sworn enemies.

Previously on Continuum:

What the hell?

Time traveller, hello?

What year is this?

2012.

Detective Carlos Fonnegra.

Linda Williams, Portland P.D.

Portland?

The Revolution is on
our schedule.

War begins now.

They shot their way in,
six dead here.



Two in the alley.

How old is your son, Keira?

That's enough for tonight.

2077, my time, my city,
my family.

When terrorists killed thousands
of innocents,

they were condemned to die.

They had other plans.

A time travel device sent us
all back 65 years.

I want to get home.

But I can't be sure what I'll
return to if history is changed.

Their planned to corrupt
and control the present

in order to win the future.

What they didn't plan on,
was me!

CONTINUUM
S01 Ep02 - Fast Times



Suit operations
is on the left.

You'll dump
your CMR there.

See the APOC
for an assignment.

Firing range is upstairs.

Sonic clean's down two.

You follow?

Down two,
yes, sir.

This is the chip guy.

You want me to do it?

What?

How does that feel?

Good?

Yeah.

Hold your breath.

Keep your eyes open.

Is there a volume control
for this thing?

Just think it, it will happen.

It takes getting used to

but with A CMR hardwired
into your cortex,

you become a passive recorder

of all that you see,
hear and smell.

It can hold up to 36 hours
of vid.

No more disputed testimony.

No more bad arrests.

If it was me, every man,
woman and child in the Union

would be chipped.

Name and Tag Number.

Cameron, Kiera.

11-6-914.

One standard issue
service weapon,

one standard issue multi-tool.

Sign here.

You're going to want to trust
your gut out there, Cameron.

Don't.

Instincts are good, but what
make you a great Protector,

is the tech.

Hold the elevator.

Kiera?

What Alec?

Sorry, couldn't see your
location there for a second.

Something wrong?

I'm upgrading my firmware.

Your system eats
a lot of bandwidth.

Seems fine now.

I look great.

Yeah you do!

Boundaries, Alec.

As a cop.

My CMR is for business only.

Why did you say that if
you didn't want me to hear?

Sometimes I get nervous
in social situations

and I talk to myself.

You'll figure it out.

We're both new at this.

We good?

Route to the power station
is clear.

Lucas, device ready.

Good to go.

Let's get ready to move out.

Linda.

Linda, Carlos is talking to you.

Good morning.

Hey, good morning,

Any news?

Not a peep.

They've gone underground.

Dillon's want to put together
a joint task force.

FBI, CSIS, RCMP all
the leerer agencies.

Did you forget something?

Funeral's today.

I packed really quickly.

I didn't bring dress clothes.

Hey!

Betty Robertson.

Linda Williams.

From Portland.

Yeah.

Carlos, you need a ride
to the cemetery.

I'll see you there.

You can tell her she's got
nothing to worry about.

Betty.

You're a good-looking guy.

You're just not my type.

Nothing to worry about, huh?

Nope.

Breakups are a bitch,
aren't they?

Yeah.

He leave you?

I left him.

It's complicated.

Yeah, isn't it always.

Carlos...

Move your ass, Kellogg.

We can eat on
the other side.

Kellogg get dressed.

You deaf?

My hearing is fine.

I'm not going.

One goes, we all go, Kellogg.

Or some of us go,
or none of us go.

Right?

Tell them what you told me.

Tell us what, Lucas?

That we got here fusion powered

but Lucas is getting
us home on a 12 volt.

Stop talking shit, Kellogg.

Let the man speak.

I've run the calculations
a dozen times,

the grid should be enough
to bring about fusion

and power the device,
but really?

I won't know for sure until
I push the freaking button

so back off.

Then we move ahead,
as planned.

Listen guys,

what if this is where we're
supposed to be?

You scared of another trip
down the rabbit hole?

No, I see a reason to stay.

Look around.

What do you see?

I see inequality, injustice,
the rich getting richer.

But freedoms still exist.

The corporate rights act won't
be imposed for fifty years.

We are free to tell people
what's being done to them,

and by who, and no one
will arrest or execute us.

Hell, even the President
gets on TV

and tells corporations
and the rich to suck eggs.

Pretty speech.

What are you really
trying to say?

He wants us all to stay.

With our knowledge of the
future we can operate here

virtually unchallenged.

The Protector knows
we're here.

She'll stop us.

How do you even know we're
going back to the right time?

I made the calculations.

We're good.

Let's put it to a vote.

Who wants to stay?

Doesn't look like it's going
your way, Kellogg.

Let's move.

Pass our brothers
my regards.

See you in 60 years.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Is there a problem?

Yeah, inspector wants
to talk to you.

Sure.

This is Dan Barlow,
Portland PD.

Sergeant Barlow says he works
with a Linda Williams.

You're not her.

I can explain.

You better be able to.

Because if you're not
LInda Williams,

who the hell are you?

What happens now?

Don't talk to me.

Are you even a cop?

Yes.

You could have told me.

That I share the same name
as another detective

named Linda Williams?

Oh, yeah, what are the odds?

1.7 million Williams's
at the time

of the 2000 census.

Third most common name
in America.

Third most common name
in America.

I'm giving you the benefit
of the doubt

because you saved my life.

Thanks.

But that ends the minute
you lie to me again.

Understood.

This is the part where you
tell me who you really are

and what you're doing here.

That's need to know.

That's not going to cut it.

Am I under arrest?

Not yet.

Mind if I stand?

Suit yourself.

Now what?

We process you.

What happens when you
process me?

I guess we're just going to
have to wait and find out,

aren't we?

Alec!

Ah! You're talking to me.

Got it.

Okay, processing, is bad.

He's going to run
your prints.

The cover I created for you
won't hold up.

You going to run my prints,
Carlos?

I'm going to print you.

I'm going to check your story.

Run you through NCIC,
Interpol.

NCIC is the National
Criminal Database.

Interpol is an organization
of world police forces

focused on human
trafficking, terrorism.

What are you doing?

That's how we solve
the problem.

How?

With a thumb-print?

With a truth they
can accept.

-

-

She seem bothered
by any of this to you?

She's cooperating.

You get a name?

No.

Look, I'd be dead
if it weren't for her.

I hear where you're
going with that,

but I need you to think
for a second.

She's always one step ahead
of this gang.

For all we know she's
one of them.

My gut's telling me
something different.

If you have a conflict of
interest I need to know.

I'm clear.

You sure.

There is no conflict.

Take her downstairs.

Process her.

Until we get some answers

all possibilities remain open.

Including the ones
we don't like.

ID?

It's been a hell of a day
today, man.

Can't wait until today is over.

[FIGHTING GRUNTS]

You can't be in here!!

Let's move!

[ALARM RINGING]

Are you kidding me?

[ALARM RINGING]

[ALARM RINGING]

You alright?

We're stuck between floors.

Give it a minute.

Emergency generators
will kick in.

I'm claustrophobic.

Right.

All units vicinity Hastings
Sub-Station...

Hazmat team and a bus
en-route...

containment perimeter,
hazmat protocols in effect..

Hazmat?

Hazardous materials.

Hazardous material teams.

How wide-spread is the power
outage?

I'm sure they're working
on it.

Power's out across half
the city.

You need to tell your team
to check for an explosion

with no bomb fragments
or combustible residue.

You think your gang has
something to do with this?

I need to see
the Substation.

Understand.

In case you hadn't noticed
we're stuck in an elevator.

Come on!

I'm hacking into surveillance
cameras at the Sub-Station now.

The Substation that
was hit, is it nearby?

East 6th and Clark, but --

East 6th and Clark.

We need to check it out.

Correction, I will check it out.

Once this elevator
starts moving again,

you're going to holding.

Finally.

I'm not going to holding,
Carlos.

What part of no don't you
understand?

No way.

Did you just tase a cop?

That is awesome!

What I'm doing won't always
make sense to you.

But it's important.

And I can't do it
without you.

I can't have you following me
when this wears off...

Sorry.

How do I make one of these
function?

Keys.

Do you see any?

No.

Help me.

You said it was a frequency
generator.

You opened the trunk.

The green one!

It has keyless ignition.

Now what?

Put your seat belt on
just in case

or it will draw attention.

The strap thing.

To your left.

Press Start.

Now use the shifter.

Try the other handle.

You ever driven a gasoline
vehicle before?

Whoa.

Foot on the brake!

Left pedal!

Left pedal!

[CAR HORN]

Put the shifter in D for drive.

This is not a simulation.

[CAR HORN]

Not funny, Alec.

Be right back.

Thanks Mom, I'm starving!

Alec, sweetheart!

Sorry, I just have a really busy,

new project.

Yo, step-bro.

Alright then.

Okay if I eat in the barn?

Sure.

Do me a favour.

Bring in your dirty dishes in so
I don't have to buy any more.

And get your chores done!

Thanks Mom!

Alec?

Can't talk, busy.

What got into him all of
a sudden?

I have no idea.

But I do remember his father
beeing like that.

So excited by his work.

Here.

Thanks.

So.

I understand you want to open
an investment account,

Mister... ?

Kellogg.

How much did you plan
to start with?

All of it.

Don't act like you've
never been handcuffed

to an elevator before.

A key would be nice.

What happened?

Someone broke his neck.

Anything inside?

I heard the cops say they tried
to hack the grid.

Shorted it and blew the
breakers from here to New West.

Thanks.

I'm okay.

The police just took
an interest in me.

What are they saying?

Tapping the police band...

Good news is witnesses reported
five people matching

the description of the gang
leaving the substation.

Okay.

Bad news is there's an APB
out for you.

What will they do now?

My hope is they locate a new
power source.

Hope, why?

So I can track them.

If they go to ground
and blend in,

I may never find them again.

You seem to know a lot about
these people.

Not them personally,
people like them.

Men and women who hate
and kill

to impose their views on anyone
who disagrees with them.

Alright, well this is a little
rad, even for me.

But I just sent an image of
Simon Fraser.

He wrote an influential paper
on the theoretical possibility

of creating a sustained
series of

thermonuclear micro-explosions

by beaming streams of
charged heavy ions

at a pellet of Deuterium
Tritium propellant.

We're looking for a time
travel device, not a rocket.

They may be powered
the same way.

Look, this is just speculation,

but unlike a chemical
or fission explosion,

fusion reactions release about
four billion times more energy

than the hydrogen oxygen mixture

that powers the main engines of
the Space Shuttle

and 100 times more than
the fusion reactions

that goes on at the Sun's core.

Fraser's work involves finding
a way to safely harness

the energy of fusion reactions
to in theory make faster

than light travel possible.

Is this information public?

He's famous, he's on the cover
of this months Wired.

What is that?

That's a magazine?

We have to get to him first.

[DOORBELL]

Drop car turn up?

No, but I have units running
down every bank, ATM

and security camera
in the area.

Plus we are canvassing
the neighborhood

around the power
station for witnesses.

Five heavily armed gunman don't just
disappear for Christ's sakes.

Yes, I realize that.

This is hard on all of us.

You vouched for her.

You find her.

Fix it.

You're hovering.

I wanted to let you know I've
been doing some digging.

The Portland PD database was
hacked by a third party server.

That's good?

Or bad, depending on who did
the hacking.

I'm following the
Linda Williams trail

back to the originating server.

He or she is using TOR to
encrypt their TCP streams

and cover their tracks, but
I've been following the gaps

between incoming
and outgoing packets

and they're narrowing.

So you are going to find out
who's behind the curtain.

Pretty soon, he's going
to over-stay his welcome

and I'm going to nail his ass.

Good work.

You're a good cop, Carlos.

Thank you.

But people are talking.

You're going to tell me what
they're saying, aren't you?

She's making you look
like a fool.

She's using you.

And you don't want to see
that happen.

No.

I'm on your side.

There is something you could
do for me.

Anything.

Find me the ID of that hacker.

So on it.

[DOORBELL]

Mrs. Fraser?

Go away.

I'm a colleague
of your husband.

Is he home?

You need to go now.

I'll call the police!

I think that you and I
both know the police

are the last people
you want to call right now.

[SOBBING]

They said if I told anyone
where they took him

I'd never see him again.

The longer you wait to tell me,

the harder it's going to be
for me to get him back.

The Linear Collider
at the University.

Linear Collider?

Atom smasher.

High velocity particles,
incredible amounts of energy.

Enough to power the device?

I'm a genius and I can't answer
that question.

But I'd bet the answer's
yes.

I need to take that phone.

Take whatever you need.

Please don't let them
hurt him.

What's with the phone?

We're going to need back up.

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

Fonnegra.

Carlos.

Linda?

Where the hell are you?

I need your help.

My help?

Okay.

Come down to the station
and turn yourself in.

I'll see what I can do.

It's her.

I know that's what you want.

But I think I have something
you might like even more.

What's that?

Linda...

What?

Linda said she is going to text
us in twenty minutes

the address of where
the gang is meeting.

She said that she's deep cover
as one of them.

She want us to come
and arrest her.

Hello.

Are you lost?

My family used
to live there.

We live here now.

I don't understand.

What do you want
with the Linear Collider?

Wait, what are you doing?

The tungsten receptors in
the containment chamber

are placed to collect
the maximum energy

from the colliding particle.

Please.

Tampering with the
containment chamber

can cause all kinds of
catastrophic results.

At least let me help
you calibrate it properly.

I'll take it from here.

Thousands of people
live nearby--

Get back!

He's a scientist.

Engineer.

In a field that doesn't even
exist yet.

I'm that good.

We done with him?

Give me a minute to test
the system.

If you tell me what you want,

I'll gladly make you...

What we're doing isn't exactly
in the owner's manual.

You realize there is
a real possibility

that you could cause
a complete system failure.

You're going to have a system
failure if you don't shut up.

I know what I'm talking about.

You know I'd listen
to him professor

you're not the only one...

She text you yet?

Not yet.

But get this.

The cell she called belongs
to a woman

whose husband works
at the University.

We called his office said,
they said he left hours ago.

Did you try calling him?

No answer.

Sending a car over
to the house.

Alec, feed me a ground plan
of the facility.

[ALARM WAILING]

Alec, there is an alarm
going off,

do you know what
triggered it?

Alec?

Hey, I'm back!
Kiera?

Kiera?

Why didn't you contact,
Carlos?

I'm not seeing any cavalry.

I left him a trail of bread
crumbs, he'll follow it.

We haven't talked about
your family in a while.

No we haven't.

Miss them?

I think about them
all the time.

Is that why you left
your cellphone back there?

Yes...

So Carlos follows you here,
and you follow them there.

Which for you will be home.

I'm going to miss you Alec.

You don't even know what you
will be going back to.

But I have to try.

It'll work out.

I know how this ends,
remember?

Carlos is going to be mad.

He'll get over it.

If we all go back,
everybody here will be safe.

You really thought
this through.

I want to go home.

Power readings like that
are impossible.

Billion Megavolts in a
sustained proton collision.

Your device absorbs one
hundred percent of the energy.

You haven't seen
the best part yet.

I think the Doctor's seen
enough for one night.

Not if you want her to live.

Any takers?

Too bad.

There's a couple of you
I wouldn't mind killing.

Stay.

Doctor Fraser,

the sequence has begun,
is there any way to stop it?

There is an emergency override.

[GUNFIRE]

Any other way to cut
the power?

Not until the cycle
is complete.

Excellent.

You may go.

He's not going anywhere.

I just added sparing him to
the terms of our cease fire.

Cease fire?

Along with some discression.

Just until we get to where
we're going.

Bitch cop wants to come
with us!

Bitch cop does.

I'll take silence as agreement
that my terms are acceptable.

I'd shake on it,

but that'd mean touching you.

Go.

Gutsy coming here,
one against five.

I'm counting on all of you wanting
to get home in one piece

as much as I do.

You know all bets are off
when we get to the other side.

Watch your back.

You double check
the settings?

Double and triple.

When the device powers up
a portal opens.

We go through, to 2071

Year we were supposed to arrive
in the first place.

Do it!

Everyone needs
to come in closer.

Mom, if you have to work
catching bad guys,

who's going to tuck me in?

Nothing will change.

So you'll be home?

Yeah.

Sometimes it will be me,
sometimes it will be dad.

Okay.

How about this?

Every night when I come home,

I will come in your room
and kiss you.

But I'll be asleep.

Then I'll have to wake you up.

You mean I get two tuck ins?

[EXPLOSION]

Sound off.

One piece.

I'm good.

Stay back.

Ow.

Ow-Ow.

Where's the Protector?

Cease fire's over.

[GUNFIRE]

Lucas, get over here.

Ow, ow!!

[GUNFIRE]

Lucas! Down!

[GUNFIRE]

Listen up! We'll flank them.

We're going to head upstairs

and see if we can draw
their fire.

You four, Andre...

Got them all!

Curtis, cover me!

[GUNFIRE]

Lucas, way out?

Way out?

Outflow tubes.

This way!

Guards, our cover!

Eat this!

[EXPLOSION]

[LAUGHS]
Yeah!

Man down here!

Paramedics over here now!

[SIRENS WAILING]

Travis, wait up!

Travis!

I don't know how
to tell you this...

Without the drum roll.

I'm missing a piece.

Move!

This time the cuffs stay on.

Why is she under arrest?

She isn't one of them. She's a hero.

She saved my life.

What else went down in there
Doctor?

I stand by what I've said.





So I get two tuck-ins?

Yeah, two tuck-ins.

I love you.

Me too.



Good night.





Well he's certainly happy.

What?

You promised to be honest
with him.

We both know the job,

the nights you won't
make it home.

Don't make promises
that you can't keep.

That's not fair.





How high is her cover?

As high as it gets.

Nice work.

You don't seem happy.

Special Agent Cameron.

Get the cuffs off her.

You could have saved
yourself a lot of trouble

if you told me up-front
that you were working

for the Feds.

But I do understand your need to
keep things on a need to know.

You do.

Thanks.

Don't thank me.

It was your idea.

We ran your file.

From what we could access,
it appears you've got contacts

we seem to lack.

I do.

I plan to establish a task force
to take on this new threat.

We could really use someone
with a deep understanding

of its methods and tactics,
Special Agent.

Say something.

I...

Uh...

That's a yes.

I could use some help.

Until I get up to speed.

Excellent.

I'm sure Detective Fonnegra
won't mind.

You two seem to compliment
each other.

I can work with that.

Carlos?

Another yes.

Great, we will see you tomorrow.

Lady needs a place
to hang her hat.

Lockers are down the hall.

Simon at the front desk gives
out the combos.

Don't let him put you
by the can.

By the can, got it.

Coffee station, do not eat
the doughnuts.

We got a lot of paperwork
to fill out,

don't worry about it,
we'll fill it out tomorrow.

You have a service weapon?

Not here.

Use my back up for now.

This desk's free.

Yeah.

I don't know what you did,
or how you did it.

We go looking for a file

and we find exactly
what we're looking for.

Let's start fresh tomorrow,

I'm all out of answers
for tonight.

I can work with that.

Need a lift?

Go ahead, I want to clear
my thoughts for a minute.

Are you upset?

I have a husband
and a son.

And right now I'm confronting
the possibility

that I may not make it back
to them.

I can't imagine how
that must feel.

The only thing that's going
to get me through this is

finding a way to believe
that my being here

is for a reason.

That what I'm doing will
somehow help my family

in the future while
I'm here in the present.

Sounds reasonable.

I hope you're right.

You want me to call
you a taxi?

Thanks.

You're a taxi.

That's a joke.

I know.

- Good night, Alec.
- Good night.
