Continuum (2012–2015): Season 2, Episode 10 - Second Wave - full transcript

Previously, on
Continuum...

They have tattoos.

It's a series of dots
between their fingers.

Who are "they"?

You call them "freelancers".

- What do they want?
- What everyone wants.

Power. Control.

I'll be running this squad
under a separate mandate,

a separate budget,
and a new set of rules.

It's time for the gloves
to come off.

Waking up in a fishery,
it's 1992.



So do you know what they do?
They stick me in a nuthouse.

Yes, yes of course.

Kagame wants you to go.

What if you could save tens
of thousands of people,

even if it meant killing
one person?

I'm not gonna be whatever
it is you say, ok?!

I'll... I'll be something
different!

I promise! People can
change, I can change!

You are too dangerous.

Please, just don't kill me, ok?
Please, I beg of you! Please!

Thank you! Thank you!

What if this is it?

My pointing a gun at his head,
this whole experience...

what if I'm the one
that creates the monster?



Welcome home, Theseus.

You say these people
are my followers.

Gather them.

I have something to say.

We're locked down.
How did you get in?

Even in our final days,
we're not without allies.

You're preparing for eternity?

I'm not a believer myself,

but we all have been fighting
for freedoms,

including spiritual ones.

I've done things.

Made choices contrary
to my beliefs.

That's what soldiers do.

Death may not be waiting
for us.

I thought you said you weren't
a believer.

Not in a higher power,
but in a message.

Our message.

Kagame. The teachings
of Theseus.

- What are you saying?
- Simply this, don't fear death.

Each ending is merely
a new beginning.

2077. My time. My city.
My family.

When terrorists killed
thousands of innocents,

they were condemned to die.

They had other plans.

The time travel portal sent
us all back 65 years.

I want to get home,

but I can't be sure
what I will return to

if history is changed.

Their plan...

To corrupt and control
the present

in order to win the future.

What they didn't plan on,
is me.

2x10
Second Wave

I've got Arc searching
for all members of Liber8.

What about Gardner?
He's gone radio silent.

Well, if Gardner left his house
in the last 24 hours

we would have something.

Cell phone ping, facial
recognition, bank use...

I've had nothing on him
in the last week.

Arc isn't some magic trick.

It relies on real time data,

which means things need to be
happening in real time,

not yesterday and not tomorrow.

What?

Julian needs to be added
to the watch list.

Ok, fine. Added.

Alec, what happened
in the woods is done.

Julian's moving on.

Past Liber8,
past his own actions.

And, if he keeps his word,
so will I.

You really went somewhere.

I'm not sure I know
who you are.

- I didn't hurt him.
- You were ready to.

But I didn't.

That's who I am.

Well, thank god Carlos could get
through to you, 'cause I couldn't.

You did.

In your own way.

- What's that?
- It's Garza.

What?

I've been trying to find a location
on her ever since she grabbed me.

Arc just got a facial recog hit
on her 90 seconds ago.

- Where?
- I'm getting the coordinates now.

Carlos.

I'm... I'm sensing reluctance.

You're as sharp as your suit.

Then let me put you at ease.

You can start by telling
me how this is all going

to blow up in my face,
because you're involved Kellog,

so I know it will.

Looking into Escher is
in our mutual interest.

If I'm right about
his intentions...

I'm more concerned
about your intentions.

- Hey, you ok buddy?
- Yeah... yeah, fine.

Uh, Escher. You were saying?

You have resources I don't.

You need to think about
your future, Lucas.

I do but why should I
put them at your disposal?

Apartment 24, 93.5 percent
probability.

Thanks, Alec.

I had him cross-reference
every tenant in the building

to draw a probability of
association with Liber8

or the Syndicate.

He came up with a 93.5 percent
probability for the person

in apartment 24.

93.5 percent probability.

That's the best he can do?

ERT units are on their way,
we should wait.

Look, we can either
stand around

and talk about catching Garza,
or actually do it.

By the time ERT gets here,
she'll be on the wind.

- I thought you came alone?
- I did.

Police! Open up, Garza!

No, wait, watch this.

Gotcha.

- She looks calm.
- That'll change.

I feel like it's my birthday.

You wanna unwrap your present?

Go get a coffee.

You take it. You have
history, use it.

And this one is off the record.

No cameras, no recordings.

- Get me what I need.
- Understood.

- You're ok with this?
- Taking down Liber8?

That's why I'm here.

That's not what I'm talking
about.

Dillon just gave you a free pass
to use any tactic necessary.

And I intend to use it.

He doesn't have the authority
to do that!

- Nobody does!
- Dillon gets it.

- Maybe you need to.
- Kiera.

This isn't 2077, alright?

There are rules
and consequences.

You wanted to shoot Julian!

I can only imagine what you
would justify doing to Garza.

Why leave it up
to your imagination

when you can see it
for yourself?

Travis's location, his
objectives, his personnel.

I want all of it.

Try a little harder, this feels
more like foreplay.

Ow!

You're sexy when
you're worked up.

Take off these cuffs,
we can both enjoy this.

Fine. Play it smug.
But I will break you.

Count on it.

How's Alec? Not relevant.

Really?

Must piss you off that I know
him better than you,

both versions, young and old,
his secrets, his plans...

his interests.

New rules.

Alec Sadler's office, 2077.

Explain.

He told me about the message
he put in your head

about your purpose.

What is my purpose?

Tell me! Make me!

Make me, come on!

Kiera! Ease up!

- What're you doing?!
- What're you doing?!

It's the military chip
they put in her head,

it makes her loco,
you better watch that.

Maybe you need to wake up, start
thinking for yourself, huh?

This kind of tactic
gets us nowhere.

Or maybe it got me exactly
what I wanted.

She's all yours.

- Alec, are you there?
- I wouldn't miss this!

I think Garza just accidentally
gave me a way to locate Travis.

- How?
- She said my CMR was military.

- Is it?
- No.

But she thinks it is because
that's what she knows from Travis.

He must have had a military CMR
implanted when he was

in the Super Soldier program.

Now, I'm guessing
they deactivated it

when he went to prison, but...

Maybe we can remotely
activate it

the same way we triggered
Elena's?

Exactly.

And then we can find
his location!

Can you do that?

Uh, let's give it a shot.

Ok, I've got a general area.
Gas Town.

Alright, keep working
on the signal.

I need an exact location.

You ok?

You were supposed to locate Garza.
Why haven't you?

Normally they would be holding her
downtown at one of the precincts.

But the cops ain't acting
like cops anymore.

They're acting
like a private army.

Find out what precinct
has added security.

- That's where she'll be.
- I'll look into it personally.

Make sure you do.

'Cause I take failure
personally.

Your plans for world domination
still on track?

Yep.

What are they, anyhow?

Like, does this have anything
to do with it?

This is Arc.

It's a way to take the entire
internet and distill it

into one single page
of information.

It's the ultimate window into
real time data at light speed.

So I can download music
really fast?

All the music ever recorded
at your fingertips, instantly.

No download required.

Now replace the word "music" with
anything your heart desires.

I think I just got it.

You're brilliant. And
my heart desires you.

Which reminds me...

What's this?

You said you lost your phone,
so I got you a new one.

Thank you.

Alec? Are you there?

I gotta go to school, anyhow.

Good thing I'm not
the jealous type.

Ok, here goes nothing.

Aah!

Get up!

Kiera, I think I've got him!

I got a general location,

I'm sending you
the coordinates now.

Any way we can make
that more precise?

I'm working on it.

Ok, you're within 50 metres,
he should be up ahead!

Hold on, there's something
I need to check first.

The corporation destroying
this low-income housing

is the same one
that makes you pay

for the privilege of
holding your money,

then gambles it
and your pensions,

on bad real estate deals.

If we let the corporations
have their way here

it's only a matter of time...

Kiera, they're the
bodysnatchers!

- Yeah, freelancers.
- What're you gonna do?!

Lure them into a trap
and find out who they are.

People, not profits!

People, not profits!

Oh!

Oh my god, Alec,
what's happening?!

In order to narrow down Travis's CMR
signal, I had to send out a pulse.

- What's that?
- I didn't say anything.

- Who was that? Alec?
- Protector.

Protector!

- Holy shit!
- Who is that?

How did this turn into
a conference call?

Somehow your CMR
just linked to Travis's.

Shut it down, Alec, now!
Shut it down!

Uh oh.

That was Travis Verta
in my head.

Yeah, I guess activating his CMR
did more than just locate him.

Whatever you do,
don't reconnect it!

If we were linked, he may
now be able to track me!

Or worse, track you!

Shit!

Shit, shit!

Kiera?

People, not profits!

People, not profits!

People, not profits!

Friends! Friends!

Terrorist! Terrorist!
Terrorist!!

Yes, from some points of view,
you could say I'm a terrorist.

I instill fear, terror into
those that want me silenced,

the ones that want
all of you silenced!

So if fighting for you,

the ones that can't fight
for themselves,

makes me a terrorist,

then I guess that's exactly
what I am.

But same with George Washington
and Nelson Mandela,

Geronimo!

Any kid who picks up a stone and throws
it at a tank advancing on his village!

But friends, hear me.

The true terrorists here
are the financial institutions

and corporations who seem
to be above the law

that is there to protect us
as citizens!

Form a line!

Do not let these men through!

Rebel! Rebel! Rebel!!

rebel, rebel, rebel...

Alec? Alec?!

rebel, rebel, rebel...

Get the suit, he's a cop,
he's a cop, get him!

This way!

rebel, rebel, rebel...

So Kiera told me that you let
Alec Sadler go.

Just makes me think.

Maybe you're not beyond saving.

I know what Sadler means
to you.

- To the rest of Liber8.
- She told you?

Yeah.

I know all about you,
how you got here.

Blow your mind, huh?

So, you bangin' her?

- Are you bangin' Travis?
- Every chance.

Well, then I'm guessing he's
probably gonna want to find you.

He's gonna put surveillance
on all the precincts,

eventually he's gonna figure
out that this is the one

you're being held at, and
then we'll be ready for him.

So you have to decide. Do
you want Travis to live?

Because he's "shoot to kill" in
this brave, new world of ours.

There's nothing brave
about a police state.

One day you'll realize that.
By then, it'll be too late.

I gave him the phone
that you prepared for me.

Good work. What else?

Arc.

It's the master key to
all digital information,

real time access
to any database.

- Secure, private. It doesn't matter.
- Interesting.

Now, did you see anything
else in the lab?

Technology that at first glance
might appear

difficult to comprehend?

What is it, Emily?

I need you to pull me out.

I have done everything
you've asked.

I've provided protection.

I've kept tabs on everything
he's doing,

it's just that...

It's just that...

you have feelings for him?

Yes. But that's not the point.

He's a good man, and I think
he's doing the right thing,

- and I don't believe that we're...
- Emily?

I don't pay you to think.

You don't pay me to be
a zombie, either!

Fair enough.

I'm just saying I assumed
you wanted someone

who was 100 percent committed
in this situation.

- He loves you.
- I believe he does.

And you love him.

So who could be more committed?

You'll stay on the contract.

Now, what I need you to do
is break up his routine.

Get him out of the lab tonight.
Take him for a dinner out.

- Why?
- Because I asked you to.

I made reservations,
it's on me.

Is this about getting him
out of his lab?

- Are you gonna do something?
- Emily, I am always doing something.

Right now, what I'm doing
is protecting Alec.

And, by extension, you.

Alec? Alec, are you there?

Hey.

I saw what you did out there.

We could use more people around
here with your passion.

- Thanks.
- Here, have some water.

I'm Rebecca. You?

- I'm uh...
- Kiera...

Her name is Kiera.

Everybody! Meet one of
my father's killers.

So.

Changed your mind
about letting me live, huh?

I didn't know you were here.

You know, in the woods
there was a moment

where you were
ready to kill me.

I could see it in your eyes,
why?

- Doesn't matter.
- It matters to me.

You're alive. That's
all you need to know.

What about the future?

You said this all had something
to do with Kagame...

you said you knew what
I was going to become.

Talked about all the people
I would kill,

I mean, in the thousands.

As if it had already happened.

Kagame and Sonya used the exact
same point of reference,

the future is set,
my destiny with it.

It's not set.

Other people's words
telling you what to do?

What do you believe?

We need to finish this now.

Not in here.

Alec?

Anything?

She just wants
to talk politics.

Every second she stalls,
Travis gets further away.

Yeah.

- Martinez!
- Yeah.

You. Garza. You know what to do.

You got it.

- What?
- This doesn't feel right.

You have a better idea?

That woman in there would kill you without
a second thought if given the chance.

And you're worried
about a little roughhousing?

No. I'm worried about
where this goes.

And frankly sir,
I'm worried about you.

Well I appreciate your concern,
detective.

But I don't need your worry.

What I need is for you
to get off that fence

you're sitting on and start
doing your job.

She's part of the system
that wants to destroy you,

and this movement!

You think I don't know that?

Then you know what
needs to be done.

She could have killed me
in the forest.

She didn't.

Don't lose your nerve
just because she did.

You want to be a leader?
Then lead.

It's time.

We got confirmation on the precinct
where they're holding Garza.

She's at Stadium.

What're you gonna do?

You gonna waltz in there
and get her?

If I know Garza, she's
just gonna waltz right out.

I'm worried about our friend.

It might undermine his ability
to lead effectively

if this unusual behaviour
was to get around.

Make sure that it does.

Today, my friends,
we took to the streets

and let the corporations know
that we would not stand

for their corruption
any longer!

Now, instead of listening
to us,

they seem to have sent us
a message

in the form of an assassin.

Shh...

Message received.

They say if you
live by the sword,

you should be prepared
to die by it.

This is her sword.

Are you ready to die
by your sword?

You cannot make a man listen
with a bullet.

No, it takes words.
Ideas.

Enlightenment comes
through education.

They can try to take
away our liberties,

but they cannot destroy
our ideas!

- Untie her.
- Theseus!

Untie her. Now.

You're free to go.

You still think I'm a monster?

Are you breaking up with me?

What? No!

Why would I bring you here?

I don't know, show me a good
time in a public place

so I don't cause a scene?

You're a romantic.

And a pessimist, apparently.

I have no intention
of breaking up with you.

Then what are we doing here?

Oh god, you are breaking up
with me!

No!

I just wanted to get you
away from...

get you to myself.

Yeah?

I need to say that
there's something

you don't know about me.

I haven't told you that I...

Emily, it's ok.

I love you, too.

Hello, fresh meat.

I guess this makes you
"bad cop".

If that works for ya.

Can I use your phone?

So good!

Excuse me, can we have the
cheque when you have a chance?

Your meal has been
taken care of.

Nobody's supposed
to know we're here.

We should go.

If I could just have a moment
of your time...

You're Alec Sadler.

- Yeah, and you are...?
- Escher.

- Pleased to meet you.
- Emily.

Let me just tell you
why I picked a dinner,

and I'll leave the two
of you alone.

- I have a question.
- I hope I have the answer.

Don't worry, you do.
What do you want, Alec?

What do I want? You
mean what's my price?

No.

How do you want to live?

More importantly, how do
you want to be remembered?

I thought you were going
to pitch me.

Offer me triple
what Kellog's paying me.

Well, I could do exactly that
if that's what you want.

But I'm guessing it's not.

I'm wagering that you see past
the transience of wealth,

that you are looking
for something.

Something more fulfilling.
A legacy.

I think I can help you get it.

- But I would have to abandon Kellog.
- For a start, yes.

- Think about it.
- Yeah, I would have to.

That would be the smart play,
but please don't take too long.

The longer you wait, the
more difficult it will be

to get what you want.

Emily, pleasure to meet you.

- Please take care of him.
- I will.

Excuse the interruption.
Have a great evening.

That was weird, sorry.

It's fine.

- Kiera?
- Yeah.

Take care of it. I'll be ok.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

Ok.

- What was that in there?
- Insurance.

- Where is he?
- He got called back to the lab.

You don't want to challenge
me, Emily.

I don't know what you mean.

I mean, you went along with
my introduction back there.

Now, how do you think
Alec will feel

when he finds out that
you work for me?

When I ask you for information,

I expect you to leave
nothing out.

I understand. I'll try harder.

Well, I'll ask you
the question again,

now that you understand
the stakes.

What else in that lab
might be of interest to me?

Nothing.

Get back to work.

- Hey, it's me.
- Hey, where the hell have you been?

- I've been trying to get a hold of you.
- It's kind of a crazy story.

Look, I have a
location where Julian

and his crew are hiding out,

I'm going to text you
the information.

Ok, I'll get eyes on it.
Gotta go.

Gun!

Get back! Get back!

- Take it easy, Garza.
- Get back!

Take it easy.

I'm going into this elevator.

If I see a cop when I get out,
I shoot, no hesitation.

Call downstairs,
get the exit sealed!

Mobilize ERT.

You, you, you! Come with me.

Carlos?

You haven't thought
this through.

We've hit this building before.

I know it inside out.

Go, go, go, go!

Uh, what does that mean?

It means I gotta do
a full reset.

It's like they drained
your batteries completely.

I'm going to need to surge you
in order to recharge them,

so once I turn them back on

there's going to be a burst of
power flowing through your CMR.

I'm sorry, but it might hurt
a little bit.

Great.

- This is the main one right here.
- On the right, yep.

- Alright, what am I looking at?
- It's the elevator shaft.

We've got units making
their way down already.

At the base of it is an
engineering access tunnel.

The same developer
built this entire block.

The tunnels lead to
several adjacent buildings.

I gotta get back down there.

Let's get units dispatched
to all those buildings.

- You ready?
- Ready as I'll ever be.

Here we go.

Aah!

Argh!

Garza!

Some of this tech is similar
to yours,

but these other components,
I have no idea what they are.

They shut my system down
too easily.

Whatever they have, I need
to know how to counter it.

They're from the future,
aren't they?

Like even more future than you.

- What do you think they want?
- I don't know.

And not knowing
makes me vulnerable.

And that's not
my only blind spot.

The message you sent
to yourself.

Did it contain any information
that you didn't tell me?

No, why?

Garza said something
about my purpose.

Did she say anything
about it to you?

Kiera, I wouldn't hide anything from
you, you should know that by now.

Yeah, I do. I'm sorry.

To be honest, I would be
lost here without you.

You wouldn't be here without me!
I owe you, remember?

No, it's not that.
You're my friend.

And with everything
that's going on,

I don't want to lose sight
of that.

It's Carlos.

Hey, you're up awfully late.

Oh.

- You can't drug away the truth.
- You're not real.

- The protector killed you.
- You sure about that?

Did you see the body?

Or do you only believe
what people tell you?

Leave me alone.

Sonya told you Travis
was killed.

Kellog said he could be trusted.
All lies.

Your instincts knew,
yet you did nothing.

What do your instincts
tell you now, Lucas?

That I'm going insane.

Or maybe for the first
time in your life

you're seeing the truth.

Even if what you're
saying is true,

what am I supposed to do now?

I'm not sure.

But there's one who does know.

Are you ready to be
enlightened, brother?

Hey.

Uh, checked out that address
for Julian,

the place was empty.

- What happened here?
- Garza happened.

- She killed Martinez.
- Carlos, I'm sorry.

- I underestimated her.
- We underestimated her.

But I think I know how
to find Travis,

and she will be with him.

You don't understand.
Garza didn't escape.

What are you talking about?

Security cameras from
the building next door

caught her being carried into
a sedan by the two you ID'd

as bodysnatchers.

Warren and Miller.

How do these guys operate?
What do they operate from?

Why are they collecting
people like you?

I don't know.

Yeah, well maybe you
should find out.

Sorry...

You said that you can
track Travis?

- I think so.
- Good.

Maybe we can get to him
before they do.

I will find you, Garza.

Are you there Cameron?

The city can only get smaller,
protector.

How do you know this will work?

I don't. No one does.

But either way, this life will
end and a new life will begin.

You'll either know it,
or you won't.

It's that simple.

Thank you, Travis,
for giving me something

I thought I had lost.

Hope?

No, the knowledge that
my fight is not over.

I am still a soldier.

This was here when I arrived.

Now I understand what it means.

What does it say?

"Your brothers await you
in the next life."

Do not seek them,
they will find you.

"Trust in that."
