Continuum (2012–2015): Season 2, Episode 1 - Second Chances - full transcript

Previously on Continuum...

Thought I'd let you sleep in.

This didn't happen and
it'll never happen again.

There's some pinhead
CSIS agent here.

It's Gardiner here, I want
you to run a check on

an outfit called Section 6.

You know, I protected you
and you lied to me.

It was politics,
it wasn't personal.

Congratulations on your win.

We're done.

Hey, wait, I know you...
Blue eyes!



You were at the execution.

You're just like me,
you're from the future!

So what exactly are we dealing
with here?

2,000 pounds of
classified gel concentrate,

military grade.

We will write history together,
brother.

The battle isn't over,
it's hardly begun.

We'll meet again.

You know there are other
time jumpers here...

I'm talking about
the privateers,

the free lancers.

Mr. Escher.

The truth is, I'm the one
that sent you back in time.

You're not gonna believe
why.



You followed me.

Where's Kagame?

Kagame was in the building
when it exploded.

He also told me that
after he died today,

he wanted me to do something
very important...

He wanted me to succeed him.

No... no...

Somebody...

Somebody let me out!

Let me out!

God! No!

No!

Kiera... are you okay?

My head is killing me.

Okay, let me get you something.

I've got some meds
in my travel kit.

It feels like something
went wrong with my CMR.

Your CMR?

Mom?

Sweetie, come here!

I'm fine, I didn't mean
to wake you up.

I don't know, a download
went wrong or a chip failure...

Don't worry, it's getting
better already, I promise.

CONTINUUM
S02 Ep01 - Second Chances

Can we talk about this?

I don't think so.

Kagame was very specific...
I take over Liber8.

I have no doubt.

You've proved your loyalty
time and time again.

But I want you to think about
what that loyalty means...

You can't do this.

I know you better
than Kagame.

You can't do this,
not to me.

If you can't be with the person
you chose to...

Shit...

Clear!

No change.

Charge of 300...

And clear.

Nothing.

Call it.

Somebody write up the paperwork.

Good effort guys.

What the hell is that?

- Get out of the way, you guys!
- Out of the way, out of the way!

Move it! Move it!

Sonya!

Hey!

Sorry guys, authorized
personnel only.

It's cool, we've got
authorization.

You saw nothing...
Are we clear?

Then run.

- That the last one?
- Yup.

Sorry I couldn't help more,
man.

We went through a major
raid in War Craft

and you know how it is.

Yeah...

So what's with this last
minute move anyway,

problems at home?

I just needed a change.

Hey... so...

Yeah right, sorry.

I forgot.

I'm a little short,

I'm gonna have to hit
an atm tomorrow.

Alec, it's me.

This is my fourth message...

Maybe your phone's not working.

We should really talk about
the message from you,

you know who.

Call me back.

What message?

Please don't do that.

You wanted to see me?

Here I am.

And I should be grateful?

Well considering the
ignominious way you used me

and then tossed me away,
I'd say I'd say yeah,

grateful would be an acceptable
response.

I'd say it's the pot calling
the kettle black.

Really?

You show up on my boat
after the explosion,

I take you in no
questions asked,

you spend a few days
laying... low...

Hi, can...

I'll have what she's having
please, thank you...

And then you disappear in
the middle of the night

and you call me up and you
act like nothing happened.

'Cause nothing did happen.

And why do I feel like
you are usually the one

being characterized this way?

Perhaps my bad behaviour
is simply masking

a deep insecurity.

It cripples me,
you know, emotionally.

You are much more evolved
than that!

At least I thought so.

Thank you.

What's this message
about anyway?

So... why am I here?

A time travel device sent you
and seven other terrorists

65 years back in time to
foster worldwide revolution

against the corporations.

Nice.

I meant here in this bar.

Couple of reasons,
first Liber8.

Kagame accomplished
his mission apparently,

with Travis captured and Sonya
in control, what's next?

Well, it's a multi-layered
approach to...

How'd you put it?

Revolution against
the corporations.

It's gonna take time,

you know, to infiltrate
the criminal world,

the business world,
the political world...

What's reason number two?

I need money.

But that's...
That's really interesting

because I happen to have
quite a lot of it these days.

Yeah, because of me.

Because of you?

And how's that?

I could've had you arrested,
I didn't.

I covered for you
and here you are.

Rich, alive and free.

Are you blackmailing me?

Well I have to say...

This only makes you
more attractive.

The game is changing,
Kellogg.

The future might be in play,

you want history to turn out
like it should, so do I.

I want to go home to my family,

I want Liber8 to fail

and I will do everything
to ensure that happens.

How do you know the future
hasn't already been changed?

You know what they say
right?

He who pays the piper
calls the...

Thanks.

Shit.

What?

I was just starting to get
over you.

Sorry.

This way madam mayor.

What should I expect?

They're going to focus on
the city plaza bombing

and the fact that Liber8
is still out there operating.

Be sure to mention the arrest of
Julian Randol and Travis Berta

and the death of
Edouard Kagame.

These are solid
accomplishments.

They're gonna ask about
the Liber8 links

to organized crime and
I've got nothing on that.

Say the police are following
up with some solid leads.

Are they?

They don't have anything yet

but the press doesn't
know about it.

Okay... how do I look?

Like someone headed
for higher office.

Let's do this.

Over here!

I have a brief
statement to make

and then I'll take
your questions.

I understand but
don't you forget...

This department put
Travis Berta behind bars,

that's gotta count
for something.

That's not gonna happen.

Yes, but there's...

That didn't sound promising.

The chief was asked to give
his resignation,

he just did.

So what does that mean,
are you fired or promoted?

Neither.

Trust me, I'm grateful
but that could all change

if we don't nail
this case down.

The city manager's gonna
be running things

until they can arrange
for a quick election.

He's worried that we're going

to lose control of
the city before then.

We're not.

You're damn right we're not.

Look, I want you to put
every resource we have

on this assassination
and you get me an arrest

before they shit-can us both.

All right, I'm on it.

Carlos...

Yeah?

What about Kiera?

This whole thing has Liber8
written all over it

and I don't even want to speculate
about what I can only classify

as the vigilante behaviour
that occurred last night.

Yeah, I'll see
what I can do.

You okay?

If you're asking me if
I'm adjusting to life

after having a building
dropped on me...

Then, yeah, I think
I'm doing okay.

So look, some things
have changed.

It's time for you to drop
the superhero act

and officially get back
in the game.

No, I'm better operating
outside the confines

of the police department.

And away from the scrutiny
of agent Gardiner and CSIS?

Yeah, that too.

And by better you're referring
to the other night's escapades?

If it weren't for my escapades,

Liber8 would've taken out
the entire electrical grid.

That may be so,
but inspector Dillon

is calling whoever pulled
that stunt a vigilante.

Now, if the press gets
wind of that story...

He can call it what he wants,
Dillon will understand.

Look, Dillon is under a lot
of pressure right now.

Okay?

The chief just got fired so he's
going to do whatever it takes

to keep his job,
not to mention mine.

You're really both
on the line for this?

Are you kidding me?

If we don't figure
out who's behind

the mayor's assassination
and quickly,

we're both out on our asses.

All right.

I'm gonna need access to
the mayor's assassination files,

photos, videos and
to the crime scene.

Okay, I'll see what I can
do.

Was the mayor in the pocket
of the corporations?

Have you met a politician
that isn't?

Okay, fine.

Then who were her enemies?

Well she was pushing a lot
of anti-gang legislation,

so any of the organized
crime outfits

would be pretty happy
to see her go.

But those are bold tactics
for them.

So I gotta say Liber8,

they're trying to shake up
confidence in the system

and targeting public officials
seems to be doing the trick.

Kiera, are you in or not?

Just to clarify...

You want me to bring
Liber8 to their knees,

capture the mayor's killer
and help you keep your job?

Easy!

He's alive.

Travis is alive, he's in
recovery at a prison infirmary.

Gunshot wounds
and broken ribs.

We need to organize
a rescue.

The mayor was just gunned
down in broad daylight,

the last thing we need
is to be out in the open.

How many cells do we
have out there?

One less, thanks
to the protector

and her actions last night.

What are the actual numbers?

Half a dozen operational cells,
half political, half militant.

Shut everything down.

But for how long?

Well, as long
as it takes.

We wait for the dust to settle,
then we get back on track.

After we rescue Travis!

I don't think you heard me...

Am I missing something here?

We don't leave
soldiers behind!

And who are you to be
issuing orders?

Travis is still in command...

Travis got himself
shot and captured,

he can't lead from a prison.

So actually yes, that does
make me ranking officer,

do you have a problem
with that Garza?

Get me all the intel
you can on Travis.

Security, anyone we have
on the inside, everything.

Okay, so according
to forensics,

the kill shot came
from approximately

a 35-degree angle in this
direction right here.

Now the shooter could've
been anywhere

from 100 to 1,000 meters
depending on their skill.

We've been canvassing the area but
we still don't have any leads.

What about these
surveillance cameras?

They're all pointed
in this direction

so we have multiple angles
of the mayor getting hit

but almost none looking
the other way.

Okay, you give me access
to the case files

and I'll get your shooter.

You sound pretty optimistic.

Any excuse to see
an old friend.

Experience could be
a problem.

Well I thought this would be
a great place to get some.

I'm not sure that you've
got what it takes.

I'm not sure that you're...

Memory express material...
In here.

I assure you I do, I am...

I'm great with technical
equipment,

people like me... mostly.

I'm a really hard worker
with some fresh ideas,

I won't let you down.

Well... I'll be the judge
of that.

What can I do for you
agent Gardiner?

Kiera Cameron.

What about her?

I'm looking for her.

That makes two of us.

Well I'd appreciate it
if you'd let me know

when you make contact
with her, thank you.

And if I don't?

I'm sorry, don't?

Find her or don't make contact
with me if you do?

Yes.

I don't understand.

I can see that.

Look, I'll make it simple
for you...

You tell me why you're looking
for Cameron

and then maybe I'll tell you
if I find her.

You don't wanna mess
with me, Dillon.

Actually it's your boss and your
agency I don't wanna mess with.

You make this personal, I will
mess with you all day long.

You're gonna have to do
better than this.

That doesn't look good.

Yeah, I'll say.

Hey, I need a favour.

Shoot.

I need all the available video
from the mayor's assassination.

No problem, it's on
the server already.

Including all of the footage
from every source

within a kilometer of the scene
in every direction.

I suppose.

Even the ones not pointed at
the mayor's assassination.

I'm the geek in
this conversation

and I don't understand
what you're up to.

I can't really talk about it.

Okay,

I'll have it all dumped
onto this for you.

Shit...

There's some lady here
to see you.

I'm busy.

Dude, I'm not your freakin'
butler.

You wanna turf her,
do it yourself.

Fine, let's get this over with.

- Mom!
- Alec...

Hey.

I gotta run, nice to meet
you.

You too.

Let's go outside.

Sorry I never called.

I noticed you put all your
father's equipment in storage.

Yeah, it's temporary.

- Why?
- Why is it temporary?

No, why all of this?

Leaving home so suddenly,

giving up your work,
living like this.

I can't explain that.

You're all I have left,
you know.

I just... I just want my boy
back.

Mom, I'm not a boy anymore.

Okay, I have to do this.

I have to make my own way
for myself,

it's not for you or roland,
or anyone.

Look, I have my reasons.

Look, I better get going.

Of course.

Maybe we can have
coffee sometime.

I'd like that.

Yeah, I I suppose
I should go.

- Okay.
- Bye mom!

I'm such an asshole.

Shit...

That bitch!

Kiera?

I thought that might get
your attention.

Are we really resorting
to this level of behaviour?

Look, I have work to do.

If you don't wanna help me,
you wanna avoid me, fine.

I will work around you.

What did you upload?

A nasty virus.

- Seriously?
- No.

Surveillance footage I need
uploaded into my CMR.

You wanna help?

You know what I'm gonna say.

Alec, you're over thinking
the message.

When you get a message
from your future self,

telling you what my future
self told me,

then we can have
this conversation.

But until then I think
this situation

deserves a little
over thinking.

Okay, point taken.

How's the job hunt going?

I'm sorry, is that a touchy
subject also?

Look, do you want my help
or not?

Yes, please.

I thought so...

What did you do?

I reconstructed the exact
moment of the assassination

using 360 degrees of available
surveillance footage.

The kill shot.

Is this how you solve murders
in 2077?

There are very few murders
in 2077.

I can see why.

There.

Third from the top,
muzzle flash.

Based on telemetry,
I've got an address.

It's nice to have you back,
Alec.

I'm not back,
I'm just bored.

Yeah right.

Stay where you are,
Cameron.

What are you doing here?

Same thing you are, trying
to find the mayor's killer.

Assuming that is what
you're doing here.

What are you doing here?

You're gonna answer
some questions.

About what?

The city plaza bombing,

about what happened afterwards.

I saw you,

I saw...

I saw you survive the explosion
and the fireball

and then vanish.

Yeah, that...

I'm a stranded time traveler
from the year 2077,

using technology that hasn't
even been invented yet.

That's bullshit.

So is there anything else
you'd like to talk about?

Yes...

I wanna know about
the mayor, Liber8...

Tell me about Alec Sadler.

This place is a distraction.

Liber8 didn't kill the mayor

but there's somebody who really
wants you to think they did.

Really?

Hey Kiera, got your message.

Gardiner...

What's going on here?

The agent and I

were just discussing some
possible scenarios.

We're not done.

Well this looks like
a Liber8 nest.

Who stands to gain the most

if Liber8 takes
the heat for this?

Well there's political
rivals, organized crime...

I don't know, there might even
be an ex-husband out there

with a beef.

You okay?

Yeah... the other night,
one of the Liber8 thugs

had a split skull tattoo
on his head.

What does that mean?

That's gang ink...
Coalition kings.

Rumour has it they've been
working with Liber8.

Okay, then who's
their rival gang?

Who would be the most upset

to find out that the
coalition kings were working

with the big, bad Liber8?

You know you may be on
to something.

Wolford has been bitching
about city policies

regarding his nightclub
businesses.

Wolford?

Raul Wolford, he's the
head of the organization.

We picked him up
on some minor raps

but somehow he always manages
to beat the process.

Good thing I'm not part
of the process.

Hey Martinez, it's Fonnegra.

I'm gonna text you an address.
I just wanna know

if it's associated
with Wolford

or the West Coast Syndicate.

All right, thanks.

So what do you wanna do?

I probably shouldn't tell you,
for your own protection.

Look, just give me
a jump on Wolford

before you issue the warrant,
please.

Okay, there's some drawbacks
to this approach.

Legally speaking, not to mention
these scumbags are dangerous.

Carlos, I can take care
of myself

and you need to keep your
hands clean, you know that.

Method nightclub,
you can start there.

Thank you.

Wait for my signal.

Yeah...

Is it gonna be a big bat
projected into the night sky?

What?

Really?

Never mind.

I got this guy.

Cover me, cover me!

Don't leave me hanging bro,
watch my six!

Hold on, I gotta take this.

Alec Sadler.

Hey kid, I've got some
good news for you...

You got the job.

Well thank you!

See you tomorrow.

You lost.

Who was that?

I got the computer
store gig.

Sweet!

Now you can pay me
the rent you owe.

I'm just kidding.

That's awesome, that's
what you wanted right?

Yeah, yeah sure.

Hello...

What do you got?

Wolford and the syndicate
are linked to this apartment.

Then I may be looking at the
rifle that took out the mayor.

And it looks like you're gonna
get to play hero after all.

Where'd you find her?

Gun room, snooping around.

I need to search this club, your
vehicle and your residence.

Really?

And then I need to take you in
for the mayor's assassination.

This just keeps getting better
and better all the time.

Tell me, what is it that I
have to do with the mayor?

The shooter used
your apartment.

My apartment, no.

There's nothing in this city
with his name on it,

that's impossible.

What else you got?

You're telling the truth.

I always tell the truth.

Watch this.

Take her out back
and kill her.

No, no... wait, wait, wait!

Listen, they had to have
someone on the inside,

someone with access
to your place.

You have a rival gang,
what are they?

The coalition?
Something like that...

Hold up!

Let her finish.

What is this you're saying
about the coalition kings?

Somebody went to an awful
lot of trouble to implicate

your gang in the assassination
of the mayor.

They sent me after you,

they stand to gain in
a number of ways.

Well I wouldn't cry
about it.

So what you're saying is
we have a problem?

Nobody move!

Put your guns down!

Put the guns down...

This stinks.

So the ballistics on this rifle
should match the round

that took out the mayor,

and the prints on this
shell casing are...

They're yours, Mr. Wolford.

You boys are really
reaching?

I've never seen this rifle
in my life.

That's weird, because we
found it in your gun safe

in your office
in your nightclub.

I want my lawyer.

See the thing is, we called
your lawyer but

Apparently he's unavailable
because he got picked up

on some obstruction
of justice charges.

Right, right.

So... I don't know, is there
another lawyer that we can call?

Right.

Put him in holding,

we'll get you a public defender
in the morning.

You know you're wrong!

You know you're wrong,
right?

Hey, you're wrong!

- Kiera?
- Alec...

- I've been thinking.
- I know.

No, not about that.

I need to see you.

- Okay... what's going on?
- My future.

Not 2077 future,
just right now future.

It sounds serious.

It is.

I'll come meet you,

just let me take care
of something first.

All right, thanks.

Agent Cameron, good work.

Does this mean you're back
in the fold?

The fight that we're facing

requires a little outside
the box thinking.

I agree.

I'm more effective
if I can avoid

department restrictions
and oversight.

Yet, maintain your support
and access to your resources.

Nothing sticks to you
or the department

and I'm on my own.

You know I'm not so sure
about this.

All right, Wolford still
needs to stand trial

and if his defense gets
wind of Kiera's tactics,

the charges may not stick.

Right now perception
is more important

than the letter of the law.

Wolford gets charged, we parade
him in front of the press,

the city sees we're in control
of the situation.

And what if Wolford walks
on a technicality?

Let's say he does,

those bastards out there
will have to think twice

before they make another move.

Maybe it buys us some time.

None of this is gonna matter if
what I'm thinking is right.

What do you mean?

We have to face the possibility
that Wolford had nothing to do

with the mayor's killing.

If not Wolford,
then who?

Candidate Martin,

how is that mayoral
campaign coming?

Just kicked into high gear,

now an election is right
around the corner.

I guess I have you
to thank for that.

No, you can thank Garza,

she's the one who pulled
the trigger.

We used gang members
to plant the evidence...

I don't wanna know.

- Deniability and such.
- But I insist.

You wanted this Mr. Martin,
there are no half measures.

You are either all in

or you have no use to us
or the movement.

You're right.

Great job!

Putting the blame on a scumbag
like Wolford

raises it to a whole new level.

Well, two for one
in my books.

We will be counting on your
support, Mr. Mayor.

You will have it.

Are we
Are we good?

You tell me.

You look like you could use
some protection.

You just get here?

I did.

I spent the last couple of weeks
in a prison hospital recovering.

Recovering from what?

Sonya.

These two inmates should not
be in the same facility,

let alone be allowed
to mingle.

It's a violation of standard
procedure.

Well my office needs Intel

and we're not gonna let
procedure interfere with that.

Alec, you don't know if his
message was manipulation

or genuine.

Well from what you know about me in
the future, what would you guess?

I'd say it's a 50-50
proposition.

Look, future you didn't get
where he did by playing nice

and being transparent
about his intentions.

He's a powerful man and
he protects that power.

This whole thing is making
me crazy.

I mean, I want to help you,

I know you're trying to do
the right thing.

I just don't know
whether or not

I'm working against
the message.

- What about me?
- You?

Yes, me.

Why am I here?

Why did you send me back?

I don't know.

You think you're the only one
with questions?

What are you doing?

Take it.

Maybe you can figure out
how it works,

reverse engineer it
into something useful

and send me back
where I belong.

That might take some time.

Time is all I seem
to have right now.

The future you didn't say
anything about not helping me,

did he?

Look, I gotta work in the
morning so I should split.

- We good?
- Sure.

- I got your back.
- Thanks Alec.

See ya.

What are you up to,
old man?

I speak to you,
not as who you'll become,

but as an old man
who knows you best.

You and I were given a gift
from our father,

he died young but he imparted
in us a passion for technology

and innovation.

What you need to know,
what I tried to do...

Listen to me carefully Alec...

I have gone down
a dangerous path

and I have taken
the world with me.

Only you can prevent
this future from happening.

No!
