Continuum (2012–2015): Season 2, Episode 12 - Second Last - full transcript
Kiera and Carlos are trying to locate CSIS Agent Gardner but learn that the law firm he was to visit does not exist. Carlos finds his body in the trunk of his car and CSIS believes Kiera is responsible. Alec has been working on the time travel device and is certain that once he's learned a bit more about it, he could recreate any moment in time. That's good news for Kiera, despite Alec's warning that history has already been changed and there is no guarantee about what she may find in the future. Escher tells Emily he will free her of any obligations if she gets him the sphere Alec has in his lab. Kellog learns about Emily's background and arranges for Travis to have access to the lab. Alec learns the identity of his biological father.
Previously, on
Continuum...
You and me,
working together?
Hm-mmm.
It doesn't exist!
I will kill you!
Come on.
You call them "Freelancers".
They have no formal identity.
They're more of a cult,
and the time continuum
is their chess board.
People like us are a liability
because we understand
what's at stake.
I had this memory
from when I was little...
it was me, my mom,
and Jason.
What if Jason's my...
It's easy enough to gather
the proof.
A little DNA.
What is it, Emily?
I need you to pull me out.
- You have feelings for him?
- Yes.
He's a good man, and I think
he's doing the right thing,
- and I don't believe we're...
- Emily.
I don't pay you to think.
Excuse me.
CPS coming through, excuse me.
The victim's name
is Ramona Cathers.
Sadtech Engineer.
I know, I already spoke
with her wife.
Bio places time of death
at 23:42:18.
Liber8's getting lazy.
They had to know we'd cover
this from every angle.
Grid scan display?
What's wrong with the image?
CPS Main, this is
Officer Cameron
requesting enhancement
grid points 383F.
It's some kind of cloaking
tech.
Yeah, and more advanced
than ours.
They're scrambling
digital signals
from every conceivable angle!
Excuse me.
This grid disruption
is unbelievable.
We have no way of identifying
the killer.
We're doing everything
we can, sir.
According to her wife,
Ms. Cathers was working
on a high security project
for Sadtech.
Any details?
Apparently she never
discussed it,
but I accessed her message
service and I pulled the logs.
Most of them were routine, but
this one was marked "urgent".
What is it?
I've already run the schematic
through the CPS data hub,
couldn't find a match,
but her engineering
specialization was anti-matter.
Data tracking shows her
visiting the penitentiary
over a dozen times
in the past two weeks.
It doesn't add up.
Why there?
Excellent work, Cameron.
I'll take over from here.
Sir, if I could speak to
someone from Sadtech,
maybe find out a little bit
more about her assignment,
it might have something to do
with the execution...
Leave it.
This case is being
bumped upstairs.
But sir...
Officer Cameron.
Dismissed.
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,
was me.
2x12
Second Last
What the hell is this?
It's play money.
You use it in a game,
which seems to be
what you're playing.
We have a bigger problem,
and I'm still waiting
for you to solve it.
You mean Escher?
I'm not interested.
You see, you don't get
to dictate the terms
of our little arrangement.
And you do?
If you stop funding me,
I may just have to let Travis
know where to find you.
Last I heard, the person
he wanted dead
most of all was you.
Tables have turned.
Well, isn't life
full of surprises?
Hey, how've ya been, buddy?
Not as good as you.
Fancy clothes,
luxury lifestyle...
we came back here
to change things.
NOT embrace them.
I admire your passion,
really I do,
but all good revolutions
have resources.
I can help with that.
You don't have anything
that I need.
Sure I do.
You just... don't...
know it yet...
There's no Fisker.
Come again?
The last place I could tie
Gardner to was a law firm:
Fisker and Associates.
He found a trail,
thought they might be
working with freelancers.
The landlord said he dropped by
on a Monday
and the place had
been cleaned out.
Businesses close,
and it's safe to assume
Gardner had other cases.
No, Gardner was
obsessed with this.
You miss him.
What about this guy?
You miss him?
Lucas isn't dead.
No, but his shrinks say that
he's psychotic and violent.
He's gonna be roped in dope
for the foreseeable future.
As long as he's alive,
he's a threat.
He keeps telling the medical
staff that he's from 2077
and that he talks
to dead people.
I think we're good.
What is it?
Jason drifts in and
out of reality,
Lucas has gone off
the deep end...
what if time travel does
something to your mind?
You seem sharp enough.
For now.
Uh, I gotta go.
Alec, I hate to ask you
this but...
But you're going to.
We couldn't find
Gardner through ARC,
maybe it's time for
a more covert search.
I didn't break into the CSIS
server when it was available
to everyone, I'm not gonna
do it now.
Why can't you just
phone a supervisor
and say that you're worried?
Or is that too straight
forward?
Who knows what Gardner
told them about me?
Well how about I tell
you something?
I coupled the time travel
device with Lucas's software,
it is way ahead of anything
that I could have designed
to date.
In what way?
The interface can access
the geotemporal matrix.
Ok look.
I may be from the future,
but that doesn't mean
I speak the language.
Ok.
Pick a date.
An hour.
With this interface, it looks
like I can trigger the device
to create that moment in time.
You're saying I can go home.
Once I figure it out
completely, yeah.
Thank you.
You wanted me to come alone
and look something over?
What's up?
Thought you'd appreciate
the discretion.
Over an abandoned car?
Who's is it?
Nobody's.
No owner, not a rental.
Pretty slick.
Been here long?
Couple of weeks.
No tickets.
This could be why.
Under the seat.
You gotta be shittin' me.
Oh, shit.
If you're unhappy
with my methods
I can always move on.
So you'd leave?
And that is what passes
for love these days, is it?
You want to be free
of this arrangement.
There's something
in his lab, a sphere.
Bring it to me and we'll
consider you terminated.
I can walk away?
No repercussions?
Free and clear.
And Alec?
Stay with him,
if you'd like.
I'll rest easier knowing
he has a guard dog.
Staring at it won't make time
travel arrive any faster.
So what will?
A reliable power source.
The amount of energy
required to initiate
a temporal rift isn't something
you can just pick up
at your local hardware store.
But it is available.
Theoretically, yes.
A company named LaRoche
is working on an anti-matter
power generation, its huge
yield stuff.
LaRoche AMTech isn't viable
until the 2040's.
Then you're history.
But, your good friend Escher
just bought LaRoche Energy
recently, coincidence?
I think not.
Then I'll talk to him.
I'll persuade him to let us
take a look at it.
But even if Escher could
provide the power source,
there's still other factors.
Say you returned to the
exact time and place
that you left.
There's no guarantee that it's
the same life that you left.
I'm willing to take
that risk.
You leave and there's no one
else here to stop the others
from continuing to change
history.
There's every chance
that you return to 2077
to find nobody waiting for you.
No Greg, no Sam,
maybe nothing at all.
I can't accept that, Alec.
And I won't.
I'll secure the anti-matter,
you make this thing work.
I'll step through and
I will take my chances.
Promise me, Alec.
Promise me.
I promise.
Word is Gardner was
investigating your partner.
Kiera didn't do this.
He was all over her,
maybe he found out something
she didn't want him to know.
Couple of bodies were
snatched from the morgue,
he and Kiera were investigating
the case together.
Must have got too close
to whoever took the bodies.
Hello.
I'm gonna call this in.
I need to look at that.
Come on, Carlos.
You know procedure.
She's my partner.
He's a federal agent!
There's no way that I...
Just hold off on filing it
for an hour, tops.
So you can wipe away all
the incriminating evidence?
You know me better than that.
Hey!
We take care of our own.
Hey!
I understand you're the genius
who persuaded Alec
to destroy ARC.
I can't make him
do anything.
Come on, we both know
that's not true.
The kid's getting laid for
the first time in his life,
he'd rob a bank
if you asked him.
Pretty much what you did
the moment you asked him
to go into business with you.
Hey, I've invested millions
in Alec Sadler.
I'm all in.
My plans aren't about
to be hijacked
by some smug piece of ass,
however buoyant.
You don't want to do that.
You know what else I don't
want to do?
Tell Alec what I found out
about Mia Heartwell.
It's a cute last name.
Two years, less a day,
for extortion,
two assault charges,
no convictions...
the last 18 months
are murky for now,
but I do love how
you disappeared
right after the mysterious
death of a boyfriend.
Suicide.
You must have been heartbroken.
I was.
You know who else
will be heartbroken.
Alec, after he learns
you work for Escher
and that you've been
stringing him along
so your boss can screw him
out of his future.
You've been a bad
influence so far.
I'm giving you a chance
to turn your life around.
Convince Alec to resurrect
ARC.
Or better yet, have Escher
give it back.
I can't do that.
You can, and will.
Or it all comes out.
He might think he loves you,
but he hasn't even
met you yet, has he?
Hey.
I'm thrilled we made a real
connection here, Mia.
Big kiss.
You know this is a CSIS key
drive, right?
And I'm not supposed to ask
why you have it?
Sinking ship.
You sure you wanna board?
Ok.
So what I'm about to do
never happened.
Thanks.
That's weird,
there's no encryption.
Woah.
I knew Gardner had
a thing for Kiera,
but this is stalker level.
Is there anything about dead
bodies, or the morgue?
As far as I can see this is all
about making Kiera look like
she was linked to Liber8.
It's pretty compelling, too.
Maybe she was more
sympathetic to their cause
than we realized.
I mean, some of the things
they stand for...
make sense.
That could be what Gardner
found out and...
This was planted.
Kiera's being set up.
ARC 2?
Uh, no.
It's sort of like
a power device.
How does it work?
It's the early days,
eventually I'll be able
to tell you everything.
It's ok, I'm teasing.
You're doing your thing.
I wouldn't have you
any other way.
Good.
Hey, are you alright?
Alec, I have to take off
for a while.
I'm sorry, I know
it's kinda sudden,
it just can't be helped.
And it's not you,
don't even go there.
What is it?
Hopefully I can come back
in a few weeks.
Hopefully?
Ok, maybe it's closer
to a few months?
Ok, stop! Just stop!
You need to tell me what's
wrong, I mean it!
You know I've had trouble
with my past.
It looks like some of it
is catching up with me,
and it's just easier
if I hit the road.
Well, can we call the police?
I can't.
Do you even know
where you're gonna go?
Probably Thailand?
I mean, I have to leave but
I don't have to be miserable.
Yeah, unlike me.
I'm sorry, Alec.
I don't have a choice.
You know I have a passport.
Really?
Yeah.
Yes!
Pack your bags right now.
I don't want you to wake up
and change your mind!
Hey!
You need to turn around
and get outta here, come on.
I'm sorry, what's going on?
Gardner's been murdered,
and the only evidence points
to you as the killer.
We haven't got long.
Must have been
the freelancers.
Yeah, try explaining that
to Dillon and CSIS.
"It's a couple of
shadowy guys that know
I'm a time traveller
who shot him."
Ok, so I need to steer
clear of here.
Use those super senses of yours
to stay outta sight, huh?
I'll be in touch.
I'm not sure this is enough.
We're gonna be beach bums!
If you have shorts
and a t-shirt,
we're ready to go.
Really?
I just don't feel right
leaving it here.
So we're really doing this?
We are!
You can leave that behind, too.
You're leaving yours?
Well, where am I gonna put
a phone on a nude beach?
Nude beach?
You've never been to
a nude beach?
There's naked people.
Alec?
It's the DNA results from that
test that I did on Jason.
He's a 99.9% genetic match.
He's my father.
The test could be wrong.
Genetic testing's an
advanced science,
it's as certain as it gets!
Your father died.
Apparently, that was a lie!
Maybe the results
of the test are, too.
Documents can be forged,
results can be mixed up.
Why are you trying
to dismiss this?
I don't want you to get
your hopes up.
Why not?
My whole life I thought
my father died in that fire,
but now I know who he is
and I know he's alive!
Chances are he's not going
anywhere.
Look, you must realize
I have to speak to him.
I have to go.
Really?
You have to hop on a plane
right now?
That flight has been delayed.
Go into the storage room,
lock yourself in.
You're protecting your
girlfriend, that's sweet.
Not gonna help, but...
Emily!
Leave, or I'll kill you!
Please don't hurt her!
Too late.
What you've done isn't just
grounds for suspension,
it's an indictable offense!
You suppressed evidence
concerning the murder
of a federal agent.
You will serve time for that,
now how much time
depends on whether
your involvement
goes beyond this cover up.
You actually think that
I had something to do
with Gardner's murder.
You?
No.
Well, that's something.
Don't make this worse
than it is.
Where is Special Agent Cameron?
Kiera didn't have anything
to do with Gardner's murder,
I guarantee you that.
We can take stock in that
guarantee, Detective.
"He doesn't exist!
I will kill you!"
"I think we may be
onto something here."
Unfortunate he didn't take
that threat more literally.
Carlos, listen to me.
There's loyalty, and then
there's stupidity.
Don't let Kiera take
you down.
Let me make this very simple
for you, Detective.
If we don't have the answers
we need from Cameron
within the next 24 hours,
then I am publicly declaring
her a Liber8 terrorist
and pursuing federal obstruction
charges against you.
Ok.
Ok, I'll bring her in.
But we do it my way.
Understood?
He'll do the right thing
whether he wants to or not.
Fine.
But my people shadow him.
Stop hurting her!
She's fine.
Aren't you?
I'm fine.
You try to contact anyone,
I'll kill her and
then I'll kill you.
Just tell me what you want.
You may be a genius,
but you're not very smart.
You activated my CMR.
I didn't know you had one!
Let's proceed from a place
of truth, Mr. Sadler.
You invented it, or will,
and now you're gonna make
my CMR work with that.
I don't know what
model you have,
it's completely different!
Ok, I'll do it!
I'll do it.
Does she know the truth
about you?
What you become?
See, he designed this chip
that kills compassion
and accelerates aggression.
Turns ordinary soldiers
into extraordinary killers.
You're an extraordinary
asshole.
No, he programmed that, too.
It only gets much,
much worse.
You want something
that only I can do!
There's a price.
You're negotiating?
I do this, and you just
kill us both.
Let her go first!
I mean it.
Look at the balls on you.
Alright, I'll make it easier.
You do as I ask,
and both Romeo and Juliet
get to live.
Why should I believe you?
Cause that's the deal
I already made.
The freelancers have increased
their vigilance.
They killed Gardner.
They come out of the woodwork
as required.
Because I'm here?
And Liber8?
Good fishing.
Maybe there's a way to dry up
the pond.
I could get back to my time
with your help
and prevent all this
from happening.
I have the anti-matter, Kiera,
you have...
The device that sent me here.
And its inventor.
He would be willing
to work with you.
A ring-side seat to the
world changing forever?
Not if I take the device
with me,
and you agree to protect
the technology.
Protect?
You mean destroy.
We could work together.
And Alec?
He sees the dangers.
So do I.
And I want to help end this!
I am not doubting
your sincerity,
but you carry destruction
in your wake.
You're the time bomb.
We've always had mutual
interests.
I'm no longer convinced
that's true.
Excuse me.
Connecting your CMR to
the suit is going to require
a hard reset.
How long will it take?
It's a military CMR,
I don't know.
It could take ten minutes,
it could take ten hours.
You better figure it out,
for all concerned.
Alec, stall him.
I'm on my way.
Ok, I'm ready to initiate
the re-set.
Then do it.
Alright, here goes.
That's more like it.
What did you just do?!
We gotta get out of here!
I'm sorry, ok?
I'm so, so sorry!
Are you ok?
We should go to a hospital.
What the hell was that
back there?
A Liber8 terrorist knows you?
And wants you to hook him up
to your inventions?
And that suit!
And what was all that bullshit
about the chip in his head?!
Except maybe it's not bullshit
because that guy is
freakishly strong!
And then you flip a switch
and everything goes ballistic,
and I don't know what happened
but you're gonna tell me Alec,
I swear to god!
Great, I'm gonna start crying!
God dammit!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ok?
I never meant for any
of this to happen
and I want to kill him
for what he did to you!
No.
You're not the guy
that kills people!
I just, I wish I understood
what was happening!
Ah, that's good.
That's nice.
Aaah!
That was a little rough.
Where is Alec?
Hard at work, I trust.
Unless he's canoodling
with his Teen Dream.
I approve of the impulse,
but his taste in women...
Aaaah!!!!!
You came into
this world crooked.
My mother says I was
a beautiful baby.
Nobody's gonna say
you're beautiful
when I'm done with you.
Kiera, I thought we had
a deal.
Don't, Kiera!
Travis got into the lab!
But nothing was broken, not
even those high tech locks,
which means YOU
gave him access!
The danger was in the lab
long before he showed up!
How much do you know
about Emily?
She works for Escher!
She gave him ARC!
It's been a set up
from the beginning.
Escher's the common enemy now,
even Travis can see that.
You're working with Travis.
He's going after Escher,
he needed the suit,
the interface!
You just set off a bomb,
you idiot.
Alec is gone, and so is
the time travel device.
I told him not to leave Alec
alone, ok?
And the device is mine.
You better hope it was Alec
that got away with the device
and not Travis,
because if it is,
you just signed our
death certificates.
Emily.
It's Alec.
We got away.
We?
Me and Emily.
Travis nearly killed us!
Do you have the device?
Yeah.
He's got it?
We're going someplace safe.
Alec, about Emily...
Where are you going?
My lab assistant.
Ok, please be careful.
Ok, I'll talk to you later.
Come on, this is where
he lives.
Who?
My father.
You're gonna make a phone
call for me.
Right now.
Hey, what's up?
Nothing much, babes and
brewskies all around,
you should come by.
Your place?
Normally, but my buddy
Jason is hosting.
Huh, you don't say?
Yeah, the guy has a great view,
you'd swear you could see
the future from his rooftop.
Maybe later.
Call was too short.
Do we know the caller?
ID is random, it was
probably a burner.
Lewis.
Well, find him.
He shook your tail.
Mark of a guilty man.
We always have tea
at my house.
Always.
It's good for what ails ya.
It's really rare, though.
Well, rare in the future.
And milk.
My mom thought tea would
cure the apocalypse
if, and when, it happened.
You know my mom,
Ann Sadler?
Yeah, do I?
I remember you,
from when I was little.
Hmm.
You and my mom, together?
Hmm...
that was, that was
after the cage.
I got some sugar.
Let me get that.
It's ok!
Ann?
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It was really nice there,
with your mother.
She didn't even get mad
about all my nightmares.
I used to get pretty loud,
really loud.
Wooaaah!
You were there in our house.
I remember.
She loved you.
That was quite something
to see.
Yeah, you're a lucky boy.
Lucky.
What about you?
Lucky? Not so much.
Well, I got lucky a few times
down by the big old...
That's not what I meant.
No, it's not.
It's not.
You left.
Didn't you ever have
any feelings?
For...?
For me?
Oh, of course I did!
Yeah!
I mean, you're my uh...
you weren't really there.
You weren't there!
Go easy.
I was there all the time.
I mean, I watched you.
Even when you were
seeing where I was,
I was watching you.
Why'd you go?
To protect you.
It was dangerous.
We both had to go.
I didn't want to go, but...
But you had to protect me.
Yeah.
I brought this.
Some things need to be
kept secret!
Know what I mean?
Shame it doesn't come
with a gun.
Oh, there's plenty
of weaponry left.
Woah!
You're an asshole!
I'm sorry, babe.
It's been a while.
This feels great!
You know what else
is gonna feel good?
Taking down the protector.
Have you got a way
to track her?
Let's just say we've got
a deep connection.
I'm the one that
you can't trust.
I was hired to get close to you
to find out what you
were developing.
To keep an eye on you.
It started before we met
at that coffee shop.
I followed you there.
Sat in your sightline.
So when I spoke to you...
You barely did.
I introduced myself.
Remember?
We didn't really meet?
You were my target.
Observe, meet, engage.
And get ARC away from you.
So we were a lie?
Everything was...
of course it was!
Jesus, you were asking about
the lab on the second date!
I'm in love with you,
Alec!
It stopped being an assignment
a long time ago!
He bought a lot, but
he couldn't buy that.
Who is he?
Why would you do this?!
Hey, I got crackers!
Guys?
Here.
Oh, come on!
You gotta put that thing away,
they can find us with that!
Who can find us?
The freelancers!
They'd kill for that thing!
They've done worse for less,
believe me.
I got through it, I'm here now,
but I mean...
Can these, what'd you call
them... freelancers,
really find us through that?
Yeah, it's like sending up
a smoke signal!
Is there another exit?
Now see, she's smart.
She knows how dangerous
they are.
Call the last number!
Back the hell away!
She's working for Escher.
She's been lying to you
about who she is from day one.
I know.
Then you can't trust her.
Ladies, dude!
Try to keep this a
weapons-free zone!
That whole thing about
leaving the country...
Escher threatened me.
Said if I grabbed
that sphere for him
he'd let me off the hook.
Let me be with you for real.
I still want that.
Whose number was it?
Escher's.
Whatever else he is,
he doesn't want you hurt.
I know that for a fact.
He's dangerous,
and he's a liar!
How did Travis get
into the lab?
Kellog.
Why?
He set Travis up with that suit
to take care of his
Escher problem.
You have the device.
What is with that thing?
That is truly none of
your business.
It's a time travel device.
It's how Kiera got here
from the future.
Alec!
Her, Jason, all the Liber8
terrorists...
Escher for all we know.
No, not exactly.
Time travel.
Are you serious?
Yes.
And Escher wants it.
So if we destroy it,
then Escher has no reason
to pursue us!
Alec, no!
You can't do this!
It has caused nothing
but violence ever since it arrived.
I'm sorry Kiera, but there's
no other option.
You know what that means
to me!
Kiera, you need to understand
what it means to me!
Just send me back.
Before Liber8 arrived.
I can prevent all of
this from happening!
I told you, I don't know if
it's gonna work.
Guns down.
Now!
I'm not going back!
Acquire the targets.
The rest are expendable.
Hand it over.
Alec!
Go!!
We have to go!!
Alec!
Go with Kiera!
Go, go, go!
Come on!
Run!
Run!!!
Go!!!!
Look out! Get down!
Get off the roof.
Come on!
We have to get off this roof!
Get the device,
whatever it takes!!!
This is what you want?!
Emily! Get down!!!
Nooooo!!!!!
Emily!!!
Let's go, come on!
Emily! Emily!
I'm sorry!
No, no! Don't be sorry!
Just hold on, Emily, please!
Just hold on!
I told you the truth.
You did.
We both did.
He can't take that,
that's ours.
Emily! Emily!
Emily!
Alec?
Send him up.
Continuum...
You and me,
working together?
Hm-mmm.
It doesn't exist!
I will kill you!
Come on.
You call them "Freelancers".
They have no formal identity.
They're more of a cult,
and the time continuum
is their chess board.
People like us are a liability
because we understand
what's at stake.
I had this memory
from when I was little...
it was me, my mom,
and Jason.
What if Jason's my...
It's easy enough to gather
the proof.
A little DNA.
What is it, Emily?
I need you to pull me out.
- You have feelings for him?
- Yes.
He's a good man, and I think
he's doing the right thing,
- and I don't believe we're...
- Emily.
I don't pay you to think.
Excuse me.
CPS coming through, excuse me.
The victim's name
is Ramona Cathers.
Sadtech Engineer.
I know, I already spoke
with her wife.
Bio places time of death
at 23:42:18.
Liber8's getting lazy.
They had to know we'd cover
this from every angle.
Grid scan display?
What's wrong with the image?
CPS Main, this is
Officer Cameron
requesting enhancement
grid points 383F.
It's some kind of cloaking
tech.
Yeah, and more advanced
than ours.
They're scrambling
digital signals
from every conceivable angle!
Excuse me.
This grid disruption
is unbelievable.
We have no way of identifying
the killer.
We're doing everything
we can, sir.
According to her wife,
Ms. Cathers was working
on a high security project
for Sadtech.
Any details?
Apparently she never
discussed it,
but I accessed her message
service and I pulled the logs.
Most of them were routine, but
this one was marked "urgent".
What is it?
I've already run the schematic
through the CPS data hub,
couldn't find a match,
but her engineering
specialization was anti-matter.
Data tracking shows her
visiting the penitentiary
over a dozen times
in the past two weeks.
It doesn't add up.
Why there?
Excellent work, Cameron.
I'll take over from here.
Sir, if I could speak to
someone from Sadtech,
maybe find out a little bit
more about her assignment,
it might have something to do
with the execution...
Leave it.
This case is being
bumped upstairs.
But sir...
Officer Cameron.
Dismissed.
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,
was me.
2x12
Second Last
What the hell is this?
It's play money.
You use it in a game,
which seems to be
what you're playing.
We have a bigger problem,
and I'm still waiting
for you to solve it.
You mean Escher?
I'm not interested.
You see, you don't get
to dictate the terms
of our little arrangement.
And you do?
If you stop funding me,
I may just have to let Travis
know where to find you.
Last I heard, the person
he wanted dead
most of all was you.
Tables have turned.
Well, isn't life
full of surprises?
Hey, how've ya been, buddy?
Not as good as you.
Fancy clothes,
luxury lifestyle...
we came back here
to change things.
NOT embrace them.
I admire your passion,
really I do,
but all good revolutions
have resources.
I can help with that.
You don't have anything
that I need.
Sure I do.
You just... don't...
know it yet...
There's no Fisker.
Come again?
The last place I could tie
Gardner to was a law firm:
Fisker and Associates.
He found a trail,
thought they might be
working with freelancers.
The landlord said he dropped by
on a Monday
and the place had
been cleaned out.
Businesses close,
and it's safe to assume
Gardner had other cases.
No, Gardner was
obsessed with this.
You miss him.
What about this guy?
You miss him?
Lucas isn't dead.
No, but his shrinks say that
he's psychotic and violent.
He's gonna be roped in dope
for the foreseeable future.
As long as he's alive,
he's a threat.
He keeps telling the medical
staff that he's from 2077
and that he talks
to dead people.
I think we're good.
What is it?
Jason drifts in and
out of reality,
Lucas has gone off
the deep end...
what if time travel does
something to your mind?
You seem sharp enough.
For now.
Uh, I gotta go.
Alec, I hate to ask you
this but...
But you're going to.
We couldn't find
Gardner through ARC,
maybe it's time for
a more covert search.
I didn't break into the CSIS
server when it was available
to everyone, I'm not gonna
do it now.
Why can't you just
phone a supervisor
and say that you're worried?
Or is that too straight
forward?
Who knows what Gardner
told them about me?
Well how about I tell
you something?
I coupled the time travel
device with Lucas's software,
it is way ahead of anything
that I could have designed
to date.
In what way?
The interface can access
the geotemporal matrix.
Ok look.
I may be from the future,
but that doesn't mean
I speak the language.
Ok.
Pick a date.
An hour.
With this interface, it looks
like I can trigger the device
to create that moment in time.
You're saying I can go home.
Once I figure it out
completely, yeah.
Thank you.
You wanted me to come alone
and look something over?
What's up?
Thought you'd appreciate
the discretion.
Over an abandoned car?
Who's is it?
Nobody's.
No owner, not a rental.
Pretty slick.
Been here long?
Couple of weeks.
No tickets.
This could be why.
Under the seat.
You gotta be shittin' me.
Oh, shit.
If you're unhappy
with my methods
I can always move on.
So you'd leave?
And that is what passes
for love these days, is it?
You want to be free
of this arrangement.
There's something
in his lab, a sphere.
Bring it to me and we'll
consider you terminated.
I can walk away?
No repercussions?
Free and clear.
And Alec?
Stay with him,
if you'd like.
I'll rest easier knowing
he has a guard dog.
Staring at it won't make time
travel arrive any faster.
So what will?
A reliable power source.
The amount of energy
required to initiate
a temporal rift isn't something
you can just pick up
at your local hardware store.
But it is available.
Theoretically, yes.
A company named LaRoche
is working on an anti-matter
power generation, its huge
yield stuff.
LaRoche AMTech isn't viable
until the 2040's.
Then you're history.
But, your good friend Escher
just bought LaRoche Energy
recently, coincidence?
I think not.
Then I'll talk to him.
I'll persuade him to let us
take a look at it.
But even if Escher could
provide the power source,
there's still other factors.
Say you returned to the
exact time and place
that you left.
There's no guarantee that it's
the same life that you left.
I'm willing to take
that risk.
You leave and there's no one
else here to stop the others
from continuing to change
history.
There's every chance
that you return to 2077
to find nobody waiting for you.
No Greg, no Sam,
maybe nothing at all.
I can't accept that, Alec.
And I won't.
I'll secure the anti-matter,
you make this thing work.
I'll step through and
I will take my chances.
Promise me, Alec.
Promise me.
I promise.
Word is Gardner was
investigating your partner.
Kiera didn't do this.
He was all over her,
maybe he found out something
she didn't want him to know.
Couple of bodies were
snatched from the morgue,
he and Kiera were investigating
the case together.
Must have got too close
to whoever took the bodies.
Hello.
I'm gonna call this in.
I need to look at that.
Come on, Carlos.
You know procedure.
She's my partner.
He's a federal agent!
There's no way that I...
Just hold off on filing it
for an hour, tops.
So you can wipe away all
the incriminating evidence?
You know me better than that.
Hey!
We take care of our own.
Hey!
I understand you're the genius
who persuaded Alec
to destroy ARC.
I can't make him
do anything.
Come on, we both know
that's not true.
The kid's getting laid for
the first time in his life,
he'd rob a bank
if you asked him.
Pretty much what you did
the moment you asked him
to go into business with you.
Hey, I've invested millions
in Alec Sadler.
I'm all in.
My plans aren't about
to be hijacked
by some smug piece of ass,
however buoyant.
You don't want to do that.
You know what else I don't
want to do?
Tell Alec what I found out
about Mia Heartwell.
It's a cute last name.
Two years, less a day,
for extortion,
two assault charges,
no convictions...
the last 18 months
are murky for now,
but I do love how
you disappeared
right after the mysterious
death of a boyfriend.
Suicide.
You must have been heartbroken.
I was.
You know who else
will be heartbroken.
Alec, after he learns
you work for Escher
and that you've been
stringing him along
so your boss can screw him
out of his future.
You've been a bad
influence so far.
I'm giving you a chance
to turn your life around.
Convince Alec to resurrect
ARC.
Or better yet, have Escher
give it back.
I can't do that.
You can, and will.
Or it all comes out.
He might think he loves you,
but he hasn't even
met you yet, has he?
Hey.
I'm thrilled we made a real
connection here, Mia.
Big kiss.
You know this is a CSIS key
drive, right?
And I'm not supposed to ask
why you have it?
Sinking ship.
You sure you wanna board?
Ok.
So what I'm about to do
never happened.
Thanks.
That's weird,
there's no encryption.
Woah.
I knew Gardner had
a thing for Kiera,
but this is stalker level.
Is there anything about dead
bodies, or the morgue?
As far as I can see this is all
about making Kiera look like
she was linked to Liber8.
It's pretty compelling, too.
Maybe she was more
sympathetic to their cause
than we realized.
I mean, some of the things
they stand for...
make sense.
That could be what Gardner
found out and...
This was planted.
Kiera's being set up.
ARC 2?
Uh, no.
It's sort of like
a power device.
How does it work?
It's the early days,
eventually I'll be able
to tell you everything.
It's ok, I'm teasing.
You're doing your thing.
I wouldn't have you
any other way.
Good.
Hey, are you alright?
Alec, I have to take off
for a while.
I'm sorry, I know
it's kinda sudden,
it just can't be helped.
And it's not you,
don't even go there.
What is it?
Hopefully I can come back
in a few weeks.
Hopefully?
Ok, maybe it's closer
to a few months?
Ok, stop! Just stop!
You need to tell me what's
wrong, I mean it!
You know I've had trouble
with my past.
It looks like some of it
is catching up with me,
and it's just easier
if I hit the road.
Well, can we call the police?
I can't.
Do you even know
where you're gonna go?
Probably Thailand?
I mean, I have to leave but
I don't have to be miserable.
Yeah, unlike me.
I'm sorry, Alec.
I don't have a choice.
You know I have a passport.
Really?
Yeah.
Yes!
Pack your bags right now.
I don't want you to wake up
and change your mind!
Hey!
You need to turn around
and get outta here, come on.
I'm sorry, what's going on?
Gardner's been murdered,
and the only evidence points
to you as the killer.
We haven't got long.
Must have been
the freelancers.
Yeah, try explaining that
to Dillon and CSIS.
"It's a couple of
shadowy guys that know
I'm a time traveller
who shot him."
Ok, so I need to steer
clear of here.
Use those super senses of yours
to stay outta sight, huh?
I'll be in touch.
I'm not sure this is enough.
We're gonna be beach bums!
If you have shorts
and a t-shirt,
we're ready to go.
Really?
I just don't feel right
leaving it here.
So we're really doing this?
We are!
You can leave that behind, too.
You're leaving yours?
Well, where am I gonna put
a phone on a nude beach?
Nude beach?
You've never been to
a nude beach?
There's naked people.
Alec?
It's the DNA results from that
test that I did on Jason.
He's a 99.9% genetic match.
He's my father.
The test could be wrong.
Genetic testing's an
advanced science,
it's as certain as it gets!
Your father died.
Apparently, that was a lie!
Maybe the results
of the test are, too.
Documents can be forged,
results can be mixed up.
Why are you trying
to dismiss this?
I don't want you to get
your hopes up.
Why not?
My whole life I thought
my father died in that fire,
but now I know who he is
and I know he's alive!
Chances are he's not going
anywhere.
Look, you must realize
I have to speak to him.
I have to go.
Really?
You have to hop on a plane
right now?
That flight has been delayed.
Go into the storage room,
lock yourself in.
You're protecting your
girlfriend, that's sweet.
Not gonna help, but...
Emily!
Leave, or I'll kill you!
Please don't hurt her!
Too late.
What you've done isn't just
grounds for suspension,
it's an indictable offense!
You suppressed evidence
concerning the murder
of a federal agent.
You will serve time for that,
now how much time
depends on whether
your involvement
goes beyond this cover up.
You actually think that
I had something to do
with Gardner's murder.
You?
No.
Well, that's something.
Don't make this worse
than it is.
Where is Special Agent Cameron?
Kiera didn't have anything
to do with Gardner's murder,
I guarantee you that.
We can take stock in that
guarantee, Detective.
"He doesn't exist!
I will kill you!"
"I think we may be
onto something here."
Unfortunate he didn't take
that threat more literally.
Carlos, listen to me.
There's loyalty, and then
there's stupidity.
Don't let Kiera take
you down.
Let me make this very simple
for you, Detective.
If we don't have the answers
we need from Cameron
within the next 24 hours,
then I am publicly declaring
her a Liber8 terrorist
and pursuing federal obstruction
charges against you.
Ok.
Ok, I'll bring her in.
But we do it my way.
Understood?
He'll do the right thing
whether he wants to or not.
Fine.
But my people shadow him.
Stop hurting her!
She's fine.
Aren't you?
I'm fine.
You try to contact anyone,
I'll kill her and
then I'll kill you.
Just tell me what you want.
You may be a genius,
but you're not very smart.
You activated my CMR.
I didn't know you had one!
Let's proceed from a place
of truth, Mr. Sadler.
You invented it, or will,
and now you're gonna make
my CMR work with that.
I don't know what
model you have,
it's completely different!
Ok, I'll do it!
I'll do it.
Does she know the truth
about you?
What you become?
See, he designed this chip
that kills compassion
and accelerates aggression.
Turns ordinary soldiers
into extraordinary killers.
You're an extraordinary
asshole.
No, he programmed that, too.
It only gets much,
much worse.
You want something
that only I can do!
There's a price.
You're negotiating?
I do this, and you just
kill us both.
Let her go first!
I mean it.
Look at the balls on you.
Alright, I'll make it easier.
You do as I ask,
and both Romeo and Juliet
get to live.
Why should I believe you?
Cause that's the deal
I already made.
The freelancers have increased
their vigilance.
They killed Gardner.
They come out of the woodwork
as required.
Because I'm here?
And Liber8?
Good fishing.
Maybe there's a way to dry up
the pond.
I could get back to my time
with your help
and prevent all this
from happening.
I have the anti-matter, Kiera,
you have...
The device that sent me here.
And its inventor.
He would be willing
to work with you.
A ring-side seat to the
world changing forever?
Not if I take the device
with me,
and you agree to protect
the technology.
Protect?
You mean destroy.
We could work together.
And Alec?
He sees the dangers.
So do I.
And I want to help end this!
I am not doubting
your sincerity,
but you carry destruction
in your wake.
You're the time bomb.
We've always had mutual
interests.
I'm no longer convinced
that's true.
Excuse me.
Connecting your CMR to
the suit is going to require
a hard reset.
How long will it take?
It's a military CMR,
I don't know.
It could take ten minutes,
it could take ten hours.
You better figure it out,
for all concerned.
Alec, stall him.
I'm on my way.
Ok, I'm ready to initiate
the re-set.
Then do it.
Alright, here goes.
That's more like it.
What did you just do?!
We gotta get out of here!
I'm sorry, ok?
I'm so, so sorry!
Are you ok?
We should go to a hospital.
What the hell was that
back there?
A Liber8 terrorist knows you?
And wants you to hook him up
to your inventions?
And that suit!
And what was all that bullshit
about the chip in his head?!
Except maybe it's not bullshit
because that guy is
freakishly strong!
And then you flip a switch
and everything goes ballistic,
and I don't know what happened
but you're gonna tell me Alec,
I swear to god!
Great, I'm gonna start crying!
God dammit!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ok?
I never meant for any
of this to happen
and I want to kill him
for what he did to you!
No.
You're not the guy
that kills people!
I just, I wish I understood
what was happening!
Ah, that's good.
That's nice.
Aaah!
That was a little rough.
Where is Alec?
Hard at work, I trust.
Unless he's canoodling
with his Teen Dream.
I approve of the impulse,
but his taste in women...
Aaaah!!!!!
You came into
this world crooked.
My mother says I was
a beautiful baby.
Nobody's gonna say
you're beautiful
when I'm done with you.
Kiera, I thought we had
a deal.
Don't, Kiera!
Travis got into the lab!
But nothing was broken, not
even those high tech locks,
which means YOU
gave him access!
The danger was in the lab
long before he showed up!
How much do you know
about Emily?
She works for Escher!
She gave him ARC!
It's been a set up
from the beginning.
Escher's the common enemy now,
even Travis can see that.
You're working with Travis.
He's going after Escher,
he needed the suit,
the interface!
You just set off a bomb,
you idiot.
Alec is gone, and so is
the time travel device.
I told him not to leave Alec
alone, ok?
And the device is mine.
You better hope it was Alec
that got away with the device
and not Travis,
because if it is,
you just signed our
death certificates.
Emily.
It's Alec.
We got away.
We?
Me and Emily.
Travis nearly killed us!
Do you have the device?
Yeah.
He's got it?
We're going someplace safe.
Alec, about Emily...
Where are you going?
My lab assistant.
Ok, please be careful.
Ok, I'll talk to you later.
Come on, this is where
he lives.
Who?
My father.
You're gonna make a phone
call for me.
Right now.
Hey, what's up?
Nothing much, babes and
brewskies all around,
you should come by.
Your place?
Normally, but my buddy
Jason is hosting.
Huh, you don't say?
Yeah, the guy has a great view,
you'd swear you could see
the future from his rooftop.
Maybe later.
Call was too short.
Do we know the caller?
ID is random, it was
probably a burner.
Lewis.
Well, find him.
He shook your tail.
Mark of a guilty man.
We always have tea
at my house.
Always.
It's good for what ails ya.
It's really rare, though.
Well, rare in the future.
And milk.
My mom thought tea would
cure the apocalypse
if, and when, it happened.
You know my mom,
Ann Sadler?
Yeah, do I?
I remember you,
from when I was little.
Hmm.
You and my mom, together?
Hmm...
that was, that was
after the cage.
I got some sugar.
Let me get that.
It's ok!
Ann?
Oh yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
It was really nice there,
with your mother.
She didn't even get mad
about all my nightmares.
I used to get pretty loud,
really loud.
Wooaaah!
You were there in our house.
I remember.
She loved you.
That was quite something
to see.
Yeah, you're a lucky boy.
Lucky.
What about you?
Lucky? Not so much.
Well, I got lucky a few times
down by the big old...
That's not what I meant.
No, it's not.
It's not.
You left.
Didn't you ever have
any feelings?
For...?
For me?
Oh, of course I did!
Yeah!
I mean, you're my uh...
you weren't really there.
You weren't there!
Go easy.
I was there all the time.
I mean, I watched you.
Even when you were
seeing where I was,
I was watching you.
Why'd you go?
To protect you.
It was dangerous.
We both had to go.
I didn't want to go, but...
But you had to protect me.
Yeah.
I brought this.
Some things need to be
kept secret!
Know what I mean?
Shame it doesn't come
with a gun.
Oh, there's plenty
of weaponry left.
Woah!
You're an asshole!
I'm sorry, babe.
It's been a while.
This feels great!
You know what else
is gonna feel good?
Taking down the protector.
Have you got a way
to track her?
Let's just say we've got
a deep connection.
I'm the one that
you can't trust.
I was hired to get close to you
to find out what you
were developing.
To keep an eye on you.
It started before we met
at that coffee shop.
I followed you there.
Sat in your sightline.
So when I spoke to you...
You barely did.
I introduced myself.
Remember?
We didn't really meet?
You were my target.
Observe, meet, engage.
And get ARC away from you.
So we were a lie?
Everything was...
of course it was!
Jesus, you were asking about
the lab on the second date!
I'm in love with you,
Alec!
It stopped being an assignment
a long time ago!
He bought a lot, but
he couldn't buy that.
Who is he?
Why would you do this?!
Hey, I got crackers!
Guys?
Here.
Oh, come on!
You gotta put that thing away,
they can find us with that!
Who can find us?
The freelancers!
They'd kill for that thing!
They've done worse for less,
believe me.
I got through it, I'm here now,
but I mean...
Can these, what'd you call
them... freelancers,
really find us through that?
Yeah, it's like sending up
a smoke signal!
Is there another exit?
Now see, she's smart.
She knows how dangerous
they are.
Call the last number!
Back the hell away!
She's working for Escher.
She's been lying to you
about who she is from day one.
I know.
Then you can't trust her.
Ladies, dude!
Try to keep this a
weapons-free zone!
That whole thing about
leaving the country...
Escher threatened me.
Said if I grabbed
that sphere for him
he'd let me off the hook.
Let me be with you for real.
I still want that.
Whose number was it?
Escher's.
Whatever else he is,
he doesn't want you hurt.
I know that for a fact.
He's dangerous,
and he's a liar!
How did Travis get
into the lab?
Kellog.
Why?
He set Travis up with that suit
to take care of his
Escher problem.
You have the device.
What is with that thing?
That is truly none of
your business.
It's a time travel device.
It's how Kiera got here
from the future.
Alec!
Her, Jason, all the Liber8
terrorists...
Escher for all we know.
No, not exactly.
Time travel.
Are you serious?
Yes.
And Escher wants it.
So if we destroy it,
then Escher has no reason
to pursue us!
Alec, no!
You can't do this!
It has caused nothing
but violence ever since it arrived.
I'm sorry Kiera, but there's
no other option.
You know what that means
to me!
Kiera, you need to understand
what it means to me!
Just send me back.
Before Liber8 arrived.
I can prevent all of
this from happening!
I told you, I don't know if
it's gonna work.
Guns down.
Now!
I'm not going back!
Acquire the targets.
The rest are expendable.
Hand it over.
Alec!
Go!!
We have to go!!
Alec!
Go with Kiera!
Go, go, go!
Come on!
Run!
Run!!!
Go!!!!
Look out! Get down!
Get off the roof.
Come on!
We have to get off this roof!
Get the device,
whatever it takes!!!
This is what you want?!
Emily! Get down!!!
Nooooo!!!!!
Emily!!!
Let's go, come on!
Emily! Emily!
I'm sorry!
No, no! Don't be sorry!
Just hold on, Emily, please!
Just hold on!
I told you the truth.
You did.
We both did.
He can't take that,
that's ours.
Emily! Emily!
Emily!
Alec?
Send him up.
