Continuum (2012–2015): Season 1, Episode 5 - A Test of Time - full transcript

Previously on Continuum.

Who's been in charge
in my absence?

I have.

Yo, step-bro.

All right, then.

Are you lost?

My family used to live there.

Well, we live here now.

I'm a guy with a bad future
ready for a fresh start.

We're getting information

Liberate has three
possible bombing targets.



What type of device?

Unknown.

It's electronic signature
is cloaked.

We'll be using eyes
and ears.

Check your weapons and lock
down your gear.

This is going to be one hell
of a ride.

Kiera?

Greg, are you still with
Mr. Sadler?

He's just about to speak. Why?

CPS just got word that Liberate is
getting hit after a high value target.

I am worried SadTech
could be it.

There's no way they'll
ever get in here

Greg?

The CPS just declared
martial law.



Liberate terrorists got
inside the safe zone.

Hit a SadTech warehouse.

Greg?
Oh God!

Greg please!

Hang on people!

Hang on!

Travis has them assembled.

Thank you Sonya!

Your loyalty to Travis is
inspiring to me.

Thank you.

You could be forgiven otherwise.

My loyalty to Travis
is second only to mine for you

and to our cause.

I will be in shortly.

What are your orders,
Edouard?

Due to the Protector's
presence here,

it seems our plan
needs altering.

By about 60 years.

Our goals are still
the same.

The Corporate Congress
may not yet exist,

but its seeds have
been planted.

We will ensure it never
grows.

We will do this by
inspiring a new generation

to take up our cause and
undermine the very foundations set

the Congress will be built on.

But we will not do this...

...By open confrontation.

We are still at war...

A war we will never win

unless we fight it on
the enemy's terms.

We don't need guns to transform
this world...

We have the knowledge
of what will happen

and the power
to imagine better.

You are a good soldier.

In my absence you did
what you thought was best.

You kept our people together
and most of them alive.

But now...

From this point forward,

instead of force to
win our battles,

we use strategy and knowledge.

How do we begin?

By securing our position.

Attack the Protector?

Attack her we will.

But not the way
she will expect it.

Lily Jones?

Is the Protector in sight?

Tell me you have the girl.

Yes.

Good. Hurry.

It's done.

I'm on the move.

No change.

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.

to corrupt
and control the present

in order to win the future.

What they didn't plan on

was me!

CONTINUUM
S01 Ep05 - A Test of Time

Good morning.

Morning Carlos.

Do you something different
to your hair?

Nope.

Something's different about you.

Same as yesterday.

Actually, Carlos is right.

Don't you start.

Excuse me.

Alec, explain yourself?

- Jeez.
- Alec?

I, I can't talk.

I've got a malfunction
here, serious malfunction...

Alec.

What I mean is,

ever since your suit went on the
Fritz you've been acting, well...

I don't know. Different?

I have?

Turning off your HUD.

Trusting your gut.

Very un-future cop.

Maybe Carlos and I should
meet and compare notes...

Even one phone call
and you are dead man.

Understood.

No contancting Carlos.

I can see that.

Lily Jones.

Age twenty.

Too young to die.

Look at the estimated time
of death.

Yeah, 9:30.

What's up?

What's the significance?

Garza was shadowing me
at that time.

Garza was shadowing you

and this is the first
I'm hearing of it.

Now you want a ride.

You know what? You're right.

Nothing has changed!

I'm complicated.

Ya think?

Good morning?

Thanks for holding
the body for us.

What have we got?

Her C2 is subluxated
from C3.

Someone very powerful
did this.

Should take a look at the bruising
around her mouth and chin.

How powerful?

I'm speculating

she was grabbed by
the throat, like so.

And lifted off her feet.
Straight up, with one hand.

Then dumped here.

Credit cards and money
still in the wallet.

So it's not a robbery.

Or someone interrupted them.

No track marks if that's
what you're looking for.

There were no witnesses?

Canvas turned up a
homeless guy who may

or may not have seen a
large man exit the alley.

Or Big Foot.

What about this camera up here?

Anything from there?

Owner says it's just a prop
to scare off the bad guys.

That seemed to have work well.

See if we could round up any of
the feeds

from cameras that have coverage
of this area.

That kind of brute force fits
the description of Travis.

I'm assuming that's
why we're here

because you had a lead that this
could be connected to our gang?

Lily Jones is the
name of a witness,

in a case that Section Six was
building against Liberate.

The case fell apart.

She recanted and when
pressed to testify, she ran.

She just disappeared?

Yeah.

Her identity was kept a secret
and her files were sealed.

So you're actually checking
for identifying marks over there.

My Lily has a butterfly tattoo
on the inside of her wrist.

Wait, what, your Lily?

Are you actually know her?

No.

Of her, we never met.

Okay, so this is either a
robbery gone wrong

or is just the tip of an iceberg?

I should call in
my people,

get an assessment.

I'll have units re-canvas
the area and see

what we can come up with
from footage of the cameras.

Thanks.

Was that true what you just
said about Lily Jones?

I mean, I know it wasn't.

But you had me convinced.

What's going on?

Lily Jones is my
grandmother's name.

They're targeting
my family.

Travis, someone's at the door.

I'm back!

Get in here!

How'd you find us, Kellog?

I have an appointment.

I like the new digs.

I can't believe you're still alive.

Seems reports of my death
were exaggerated.

That's Twain.

Great writer.

He's got this one about
a Connecticut Yankee...

Anyway, I bear gifts.

I figured you haven't had time
to discover all the wonders

of this generation...

All kinds of fruit,
juicy, succulent.

You guys have to try these
oranges.

They're amazing.

What are you doing here,
Kellog?

I just come by to say,

'no hard feelings' about
leaving me to die

with a bomb strapped
to my jewels, Travis.

Is this true?

He's a deserter.

Regardless.

We don't ever take arms
against one of our own.

Ever.

I understand.

You've chosen your own path.

Travis, continue on the
endeavor we have begun.

That will allow Matthew and I
time to speak.

Did you steal this?

Nothing so crass.

With just a little
memory recall,

I was able to turn a small
fortune in the market.

I want anything to do
with your money Matthew.

Of course not.

But in terms of funding a full
revolution,

it's a pretty good start,
don't you think?

So, now that we're back on the
right foot, where do we start?

We?

While you were satisfying
your appetites,

I've been considering a more
critical problem...

This girl may not have
been my grandmother,

but if the gang is looking for
Lily Jones',

it's only a matter of time
before they find the right one.

What, you don't know your own
grandmother?

Look.

You know everything about me,

I hardly know
anything about you.

Do you think that's fair?

She died in her fifties when
I was only four.

So do you think this could
be a coincidence?

Or are they really targeting
you through your family.

I wish I knew.

I gotta go.

Betty is tracking down all
the Lily Jones' in the area.

Should have word back soon.

Ready to go?

I'll have to catch up.

Have you found a solution?

Yes, this is a DNA testing kit

we can use to be definite
about the results.

Lucas will modify it to be
instantaneous.

But we'll need an original tissue sample
for a baseline.

I'll get it.

No. Sonya will go.

Take Gaza, get what you need.

What? No hello?

Last time we met here you
were holding a live grenade.

Then, we were almost blown
up by a mine.

So forgive me for not beeing polite.

I'm exciting to be around,
what can I say?

So this is a Kevlar optional
affair?

For you.

Not for your ancestors.

I just met with Kagame.

The danger is real.

They're going after your
grandmother.

I already know that.

Why?

Well, to get rid of you for
starters.

And it's all your fault.

You had to threat Lucas
with killing his grandparents.

It got them all going about what
might happen

if one of our
ancestors were killed.

And now Kagame,
he want to try a grand experiment

to test our paradoxical
vulnerability.

Cupcake?

So that makes me what...

Guinea pig?

Squeak squeak...

How'd they even know
my grandmother's name?

Kagame, he has his ways.

Why would he have that
information about my family?

Hell if I know.

Look, I don't know
all the details

about how our escape
was arranged,

but I do know that the guards
were in on it.

Who knows how high
the conspiracy went?

Maybe whoever arranged it,
told him.

Are you telling me that I
might be here for a reason?

Part of a bigger plan?

Given what happened,

does anything seem too
far fetched to you?

If you think I have
ulterior motives,

join me on my yacht tonight?

How about lunch?

Deal.

Thanks for the lunch.

You can pick up the check.

Carlos.

Yeah, look, I just spoke
with my contacts in Section 6.

They confirmed that the gang
are going after our witness

and that she's here,
in town.

But they killed
the wrong girl.

And they just keep going
until they find the right one.

So now we round up all the Lily
Jones' in the lower mainland

and place them in
protective custody.

Here you go sir.

So, we've get it done?

- We don't have a choice.
- Thanks.

Sorry I'm late!

Where's...

What the hell happened
to you?

Bike messenger.

I've just...
stepped out, didn't see him.

You Ok?

What have you got?

I had Samantha look at
all the Lily Jones's

that fit the age range.

There's eight of them, nine
if you count the dead girl.

We've got their addresses.

I've sent units to their
homes, but it's daytime...

some may be at work
or school.

We've got leads.

We can cover more ground
if we split up.

That's a good idea.

I'll requisition you
a cruiser.

Thanks!

They're like drones,

blissfully unaware they're being
trained into subservience.

Those that seek truth will
find it.

This has been programed with the
Protector's DNA.

You can use it to match
with the girls'.

You think she's going
to just sit there

while I perform your test?

Then kill her first.

That's not what Kagame wants.

Why are you so sure
one of the Lily's is here?

I just know.

You looked her up before,
didn't you?

You Googled your grandmother.

I knew she lived here for a
while.

I looked up the names
and some data.

This woman, she's exactly
like my mom said she was.

She's smart, she's intelligent
she's involved in the community.

You've been stalking her.

Maybe.

What are you going do?

Just walk up her,

said "Helloooo, I'm your
future granddaughter?"

Wait, here she is.

Gotta go!

There you are!

There I am.

Lillian Jones?

I'm Detective Kiera Cameron.

May I have a moment?

See ya later.

Ms. Jones,
your life is in danger.

Dad's waiting for us,
let's go.

Yeah, about that,

I have to take a pass on
the meeting tonight.

I'm in the middle
of something big.

What, you think Dad isn't?

Honestly?

What Roland is doing gives
me the creeps.

So, if you'll excuse me I have
more important things to do

than sitting around with a
bunch of conspiracy freaks

wearing tin foil hats.

Wait!

You're always going on
about how important...

whatever it is you do is.

Like you're changing the
frickin' world or something.

How 'bout spending some time
with your family?

You're not my family.

And this grass roots
activism of yours

isn't changing the world.

It's a joke.

You want to change
the world?

You have to leave your
living room first.

We may not be a real family,
Alec.

But we're the closest thing
you've got.

You said terrorists
are killing women

with my name, and you can't
give me specifics?

No.

I think I'm going
to lose it.

Try to stay calm.

What would I do?

I'm going to take
you into custody,

get you somewhere safe...

Okay.

Excuse me, I've got
to take this.

Cameron.

I just got a word

that a Lily Jones was
involved in an incident.

Incident?

An assault of some kind.

Details are sketchy.

Where?

Broadway and Granville.

They've got the assailant,
too.

Tell them to use extreme
caution.

Way ahead of you.

I'm leaving the precinct now.

You go and get Lily and
I'll deal with the assailant.

You're at one of the best
universities in the country.

Your parents must be
very proud.

They are.

They wouldn't be named Jim
and Alison by any chance, would they?

No.

Kevin and Eve.

Miss Jones.

I need you to come with...

Is this a joke?

This is the victim.

That's Lily Jones.

Let go!

Get me the hell out
of of here!

You may want to get a tetanus shot.

Thanks.

Are you done eyeing me up?

Are your parents' names Jim
and Alison?

Did they send you get me?

Because I'm not going
and you can't make me.

I'm emancipated.

And that girl owed me money.

I was just trying to
collect.

I don't owe you anything
you delinquent.

You can't arrest me for
a misunderstanding!

I'm not arresting you.

Then let me go.

No, you need to come with me.

Your life is in danger.

I get it.

You're here to help.

Clean up the street kids.

Don't bother I've never done
anything more than smoke a joint.

This just gets better.

Who's the chick?

There is a terrorist group
killing women named Lily Jones.

You're Lily Jones.

She's Lily Jones.

I'm taking both of you to
the station for protection.

You said you weren't going
to arrest me!

I'm not. Relax!

I guess we're in
a unique club.

Not every day you get chased by
a terrorist,

- It's very Terminator...
- Shut up.

I like your necklace.

Is it a butterfly.

I'm just making the best of
a bad situation.

You wouldn't know a bad
situation if it bit you

on your Dolce Gabbanas.

I'd rather take my
chances against terrorists

than sit here listening to her.

Just let me out anywhere.

Not until you're both safe.

How do I know you're not
the danger?

Your badge might be fake.

You could be some psycho
kidnapping us.

Let go!

Let me go!

Just take me, bitch.

One Lily Jones
is dead already.

I am trying to prevent that
from happening again.

Are we clear?!

Everything is going
to be fine.

Okay?

I promise.

Oh God.

Roll down the window.

I'm not going to let you out

until we get to the Precinct.

I'm gonna puke.

Not on my purse!

Open the window.

That's much better.

Do you have a weird taste
in your mouth?

Kind of sucking on a nail?

Yeah. How'd you know?

I had that when
I was pregnant.

I'm only a couple of days
late.

Okay.

We need to get you to a...

Are you guys okay?

Are you okay?

We gotta get out of the car!

Get down.

Came here.

Pull her out, pull her out!

Stay down.

Stay down, stay down,

stay low!

Stay down!

Go that way, behind the car!

Where's my back up!

Carlos is on route!

Hang tight.

Kiera can you hear me?

Stay down, get down!

Kiera, are you okay?

You okay?

Yeah.

Are you okay?

Are you sure we're safe?

Carlos took the other Lily
to the station.

We're going someplace safer.

I think you missed
a few brands back there.

Have friends much?

What do you mean by that?

You're all like "do this",
"do that", "get in the car

cuz someone's trying
to kill you."

Kind of Bossy.

Look who's talking.

Yeah. But I'm the kid.

I'm supposed to be this way.
You're the adult.

You're supposed to
be nice.

Get in the car.

Please.

Why aren't you using
your CMR?

Because I'm with company.

I need you to track
some people down for me

You're a mind reader.

Kellog, I need you to be
on call.

I will have her gassed up
and ready to go in one hour.

I have to pee.

Thank you.

I just figured they would be
looking for us everywhere,

airports, bus terminals,
train stations...

Us?

My... "relative" and I.

You found her?

Okay.

For this I'll expect nothing
in return.

We can save that romantic
Harbor cruise for another...

Yeah.

Matthew...

I understand you've been a busy
little bee.

Flitting about, pollinating.

And straying into things
you shouldn't.

And now, someone has to pay
the price.

Mister Kellog, what's going
on...

why did these people take
me?

Mattie, Mattie..

Are we clear?

What's this all about?

Lily...

How you doing in there?

I've got 6 more seconds.

False positives happen all
the time, right?

How are you feeling?

Scared.

That's understandable.

Are you kidding me?

This is a frickin'
nightmare.

I'm not old enough to have
a kid!

I'm 17!

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

I just...

This is horrible. My life is ruined.

Lily?

It's a boy.

I'm gonna call the clinic.

I think it's 1400 life credits
or something.

Is that what you want?

I just thought given that we...

I was going to give this to you
on your birthday next week.

But considering
the circumstances...

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Lily...

having a baby doesn't mean
giving up your dreams,

A child adds to them.

You don't get it.

I don't have dreams.

I don't have a job.

I don't have a regular place
to crash.

I never even finished
High School!

I'm just going to get rid
of it.

Before you go there.

Think this out.

Talk with the father...

Jake?

That's a great idea.

As soon as I tell Jake,
he's gonna ditch my ass.

Lily...

For all you know,
he'll love this baby.

Most people goes their whole lives

thinking they know what
the future holds for them.

They've got a fantasy
of how the world is.

But sometimes, you're
going through your day

and BANG,

there's an explosion

and everything you know is gone.

And it makes you wish you'd
done things differently...

You get that?

What!

They took her.

Took who?

Mattie.

My grandmother.

They found out that
I tipped you.

And now they're going to
use me to get to you.

Get to me how?

They want a trade.

Mattie, for Lily.

You sure the girl is safe here?

We read how the precinct
was attacked.

Betty!!

How do we know...

Because our security systems
have been upgraded,

we're equipped for anything.

I still haven't heard a
sufficient plan of how you...

Please, please, just talk
to Betty.

She'll take care of everything.

I gotta take this.

Good luck!

This is how it's going to be.

Where are you?

I've got a precinct full of
Lily's and their parents here.

It's like herding cats.

I'm with my Lily.

Dillon's breathing down my neck.

He wants to know what Section Six
wants done with these girls.

I don't have any news.

That's... that's great.

But I do have someone else
I need you to track down.

Please tell me
it's not another Lily?

Not exactly.

I'll text you the name.

Everything's okay?

I still haven't changed
my mind.

When I found out that I was pregnant

I didn't think I was
ready either.

I was fresh out of the military
and starting a new career.

Having a child was the last thing
on my mind.

What happened?

I told my boyfriend.

And you're still together?

Married.

So are you going to tell
me why I've been rammed into,

chased and shot at?

That's complicated.

I'm not going to do this.

I'm by myself.

I don't even have family.

You don't have to.

This little girl is
the opportunity

for you to start a family
of your own.

And one day she will grow up

and have a daughter of her own

and you will find yourself
surrounded by so much love,

you'll wonder how you
ever got so lucky.

How do you know I'm going
to have a girl?

Just a hunch.

Lily, I'm going to ask you to do
something dangerous.

I need you to trust me.

Yes, okay.

He's ready.

Say what you will about Kellog.

He's very resourceful.

You know, I could get suspended

for pulling a stupid
stunt like this.

I'll take the heat if
anything goes sideways.

Damn straight you will.

Promise me you'll think about
telling Jake?

He may surprise you.

That's if we make it out of
here alive.

We will.

We have to.

We're good?

We're good.

Is that her?

Send Mattie over.

First you send
over the girl.

Change of plans.

That's not her grandmother.

No...

That's my mother.

She's pregnant.

Yes, with me.

Gaza, give him what he wants.

Let's go.

They won't hurt you.

You okay?

I'm not good with this,
but I'm good enough.

Bye-bye.

So that's it?

I'm free?

We've still got to
get...

Wait a minute.

Get down, get down.

No!

No, no!

Call 911.

It's going to be okay.

Oh, God!

Oh, God!

Stay with me, stay with me!

It's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.

I've got an ambulance
on the way.

Ambulance is coming.

Don't die, don't die,
don't die...

Stay with me, stay with me!

You're still alive.

You think I care about that?

The ambulance is on it's
way...

It's okay.

Kiera!

Sam!

Dad!

Where were you!?

Sadler changed the location of
our meeting at the last minute.

He wouldn't let me tell you
for security reasons.

We left SadTech 20
minutes before the blast.

Then I tried to call

but all communications
were down...

Don't you ever disappear
like that again.

If I ever lost you...

Jake can do his
graphic design anywhere,

so as long as this new place
has got Internet access...

You take care of her.

Bye.

Bye.

Thank you, Kellog.

I appreciate this.

See you soon.

Kellog is going to cash in
this favour.

I can handle Kellog.

The bullet that killed Mattie,

according to Kagame's
experiment,

it should have
killed Kellog also.

Why didn't it?

That's precisely the
problem.

If Kellog had died
or disappeared

after Mattie was killed,

then we would have definitive
proof that this timeline

is connected to
the one you left.

So what does this prove?

Unfortunately nothing.

Maybe Mattie wasn't Kellog's
biological grandmother.

Maybe you are on
a new time line

or maybe you aren't and
there is no paradox...

I really don't know...

The absence of proof is not
proof of anything.

Hopefully Kagame now believes
they can't get to me

through my family.

That's one less thing
to worry about.

I gave my word.

My word!

You behave like a mad dog,
and I will put you down.

Mom!

I found the necklace.

It was under your bed.

Thank you sweetie.

It's really old, isn't it?

Yes.

My Grandma gave it to me
when I was a little girl.

Every game needs
its pawns.

Ready to make a change,
Julian?

They share our anger.

It just needs
to be cultivated.

Why would you draw
this much attention?

Maybe attention
is what they wanted.

The revolution starts here.
