Continuum (2012–2015): Season 3, Episode 12 - The Dying Minutes - full transcript

TRAVIS:
Previously on Continuum...

Kiera!

We can still fight for
what we believe in!

I don't know what
that is anymore.

My name is Brad Tonkin.

And I know why I came back.

I volunteered.

Agent Warren signed the
bodies out yesterday.

The bodies are gone?

Cover him.
It's disgusting.

(LOUD INDISTINCT NOISE)



(GASPS)

(COUGHING)

(GASPS FOR BREATH)
Ripped By mstoll

(SOBBING)

For what it's worth,
I don't agree with this.

You're gonna want
to take it slow.

(SOBBING)

No!

(DOOR OPENS)

I'm Katherine.
The cell keeper.

I can't imagine what
you've been through.

No.

You can't.

How long?



Months.

What's the last thing...
I remember banging.

Death.

How?

The technology inside
him brought you back.

You were...

Merged.

Is that not a violation?

I need to talk with him.

Not today.

You must decide

if you're going to serve.

He already knows
that outcome.

Perhaps.

But I need
to hear it from you.

And you, brother?

I serve here now.

(COUGHING)

(GASPS)

(PANTING)

(GASPS)

You lie, it'll be
more of the same.

(GASPS)

(PANTING)

You've known I've had it all along.
What brought on the Gitmo now?

Loose ends.

I made a promise to Kiera.

I'm a loose end yet
I get to live? Wow.

Well, in that case,
how about a few

plants in my cage,
maybe a Daft Punk poster?

You done?

How many numbers
in a GPS address, asshole?

We can discuss your living
arrangements later.

You hear how she does that?
She says "living,"

I hear "burial."

Thank you.

Take him back to his cell.

Not good enough.

Guess that Daft Punk poster's
out of the question now.

How much longer does this
favor to Cameron last?

We'll see.

It's not what you think.

Garza told me
the band split up.

You okay?
Apparently we failed.

We've accelerated the very
future that we wanted to stop.

Corporations are
getting stronger,

moving out of the reach of legal
and governmental oversight,

and Sadler has a
pretty little bracelet

that everyone wants.

Well, I would never
wear that thing.

Came with more warnings than
a weight loss prescription

and people still wanted it.

HALO'S the beginning
of it all, Julian.

Corporate control over every
aspect of every person's life.

Now, you can help me
stop it, without bloodshed.

And...

Screw Alec over
a little as a bonus.

Bring me everything
you can on HALO.

KIERA: How is he?

Who?

He's the one you told
me about, isn't he?

The original freelancer

who traveled back a thousand
years to start your cult?

What do you need?

Alec Sadler.

I brought you the wrong one.

We've both devoted ourselves

to putting things right
in this timeline.

But the Alec that's out there
has pressed fast-forward.

Technological advances unfolding
decades before they should.

You want to create a better
future, Kiera, I understand.

But we're not here
to render judgment.

The true timeline
is what we're protecting.

Is that what
he tells you?

The greatest challenge
we face in this work

is keeping our
personal agendas

from intruding into
what needs to be done.

The Alec out there
is dangerous.

His path is dark.

And what do you suggest?

Let me trade them

and I'll bring you somebody
I know that you want.

Liber8?
Better.

A soldier from the alternate
future Alec created.

You give me Alec Sadler,
Brad Tonkin is yours.

DILLON: It's evidence. It's
my property, I want it back.

Until the case is heard

it stays there.

ALEC: Great, so, Jason the
perpetrator is out, but my property

is not and you're
unable to change it.

You can see how this doesn't add up.
DILLON: What can I say?

There are rules.
I am asking for a favor.

Your kingdom to mine.

Let me see what I can do.

(SIGHS) Just get
it done, Jack.

(SCOFFS)

Make sure you read these.

All right, I think you're gonna like
the direction things are going.

We're talking exponential
growth in link backs on Twitter

and the usual suspects.

Uh, Gizmodo,
CNet are rapturous.

Rolling Stone
is promising a cover

and Reddit wants
you for an AMA.

Julian.

Thanks.

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

Servers at Piron?

16th and 17th floors.

I also, uh,

thought, uh,

these might come in handy.

So what's next?

I'll figure it out.
Okay.

In the meantime I can...
You can go home.

What's the point?

You want me to just sit
here and watch while my

brother takes
over the world?

Now you need to leave.

No, no, no,
no, no. I don't

touch that shit.

You selling those?

I'll pay more than list.
Beat it.

One more job, Lucas.

You should consider trying to
draw less attention to yourself.

Where's the fun in that?

Let's make this quick. You
sure it's happening today?

My intel's top shelf.

They'll do the heavy lifting
and you can piggyback.

There you go.

What's your
endgame, Curtis?

Believe it or not, he wants you
to get what's coming to you.

That doesn't exactly
make me feel better.

Come on, help me out.

Why are you taking
this kind of risk?

He saved me.

He showed me...

All you need to know is
Katherine isn't his disciple.

She's his jailer.

A great day is coming.

Inspector Dillon, sir.

Until the case is closed...
The case is closed.

Sir.

What is it, Cameron?

Liber8.

There's been a sighting.

Travis Verta.

And?
Well, we missed him.

What is that?

You said they'd
blown apart.

We need to press
our advantage.

I'm on it.

(BEEPING)

It's a time device.

He's written code based
on liquid chip tech

that shouldn't
be available, so,

it's more vulnerable.

It creates a
rudimentary connection

with the brain that
grows stronger

the longer you
wear the bracelet.

Now, these blueprints?

The specs on the mainframe
that Julian brought?

If we can get to it, it should be
easy enough to download a virus.

I don't want
people to get hurt.

How about we scare
the shit out of them?

You're green.

Connecting.

We use HALO to
hijack the amygdala.

Flood the system with fear.

The health monitor
becomes a health hazard.

Will it be enough?

(BEEPING)

(SCREAMING) Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!

(SOBBING)

You, uh, still want
to wear that thing?

KIERA: Carlos.

Dillon has the time travel
device in his office.

He assembled it.

The freelancers will be here any minute.
And this is on me because...

There's something I have to do.
Wish me luck.

Good luck,
whatever it's worth.

Inspector?

We should talk.

I'm on my way to Piron.

I'll join you.
If that's okay.

Suit yourself.

Really?

I don't want any casualties.

Yeah, sure.

Let's go get your boy.

Let's.

So, big board meeting?

Something like that.

I imagine that
the perks at Piron

are probably better
than policing.

You think that's why
I got into police work?

The perks?

(SCOFFS)
I know that's not why.

But I've seen you change.

I've seen others
change around you.

So I'm dragging down a bunch
of good men and women

because I want to drive
a Lexus, is that it?

The signal stopped.

But it was here.

So much for the back way.

That's a change
we didn't discuss.

I thought about it.
It's simpler.

I pretend that I'm
bringing you in.

Oh, you're gonna
bring me in?

Oh, you think
you're so tough.

Oh, now you know I love
it when you play rough

but um, are those
really necessary?

Now you're my prisoner.

Don't overdo it.

Do you even understand
the concept of disguise?

All us terrorists
look the same.

Yours looks good though.

TRAVIS: You think Kagame imagined
this when he walked in that building

and blew himself up?

Liber8 blown apart?

What chance is there
for any real change

when anyone can go back and
tweak events in their favor?

Everyone believes
in a do-over.

You just press reset
and start again.

But it'll
never last.

There's a place up north.

Remote, people minding
their own business.

Do you really
think that's us?

Only one way to find out.

We'll always be hunted.

I'm afraid.

We can drive north.

Figure it out together.

I'll meet you
at Lana Lou's.

We'll talk tonight.

Everything we've seen in the past two
years is the new face of warfare.

The Internet attacks,
bio-weapons.

People in power using

the rich versus poor divide
to push their own agendas.

You call that warfare?

Don't you?
No.

The haves versus
have-nets isn't news.

It is when 85 people
in the world

are richer than
three billion.

You're the one
cozying up to the 85.

Using them? Yes. Mmm-hmm.

What?

Police have always
solicited the support

of the rich and powerful.

Yeah well, I hate to break
it to you, Inspector,

but we work for the city
and all of its citizens.

Come on, Carlos.

Kissing some corporate
ass is what it takes

to keep this city safe.

Oh, and the HALO
smart bracelet,

you think that's
perfectly safe?

It's collecting
information.

Information that
you want to use

to track down criminals
before they commit crimes.

I need help.

I need better
surveillance.

Some of the shit that's
gone down in this city...

What weapons have I got?

Whatever.

Yeah, whatever.

You're going to keep busting
my balls on this, aren't you?

You better
believe it.

Good.

Let me just drop
this off to Alec,

then we can go take
a look at the lab.

I'm gonna show you some of this
new crowd control technology.

It's the safest
thing I've ever seen.

All right.

You're the welcoming
committee?

I thought this
was a big deal.

What the hell?
I told you.

I want Alec Sadler.

They're here. All is secure.
Where are the others?

(GRUNTS)

We're backing
out of here.

No, we're not.

Yeah.

Shit.

(GUNSHOTS)

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

Go! Go!

Ma'a Salama.

I'll catch up with you.

That's not the plan.

I know, we both have
things we need to do.

Rescuing Alec is what
this time needs.

Maybe. But
I believe in Plan B's.

Way to communicate.

It's like
we're married.

How do you like it?

Oh.

Had to change my
lifting routine

when it found a heart murmur.

So, hate it, but

love it, you know?
Oh, I hear that.

Whatever you're
doing, it's working.

Say, do you

maybe want
to grab a coffee?

I can be downstairs
in like five minutes.

Yeah.

Sure.

I'll get you, uh...

A quadruple Americana.

Quadruple Americano.

That's the one!

I was wrong.

But we have to move.

Just get me out of here

and then you
can go to hell.

Are you coming in?

No. I'm not.

I'll get a ride back
to the precinct.

(GRUNTS)

I believed in you.

Yeah, you're
not the only one.

You know what this means.

I know.

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Sonya. Sonya.

Julian.

I need to leave.

Is there a bomb
I should know about?

Not the kind
that you think.

Sonya, what's been
going on with you?

I've told you that
you're important

and that you'll
do great things,

but you don't seem
to believe me.

That's because most of
what you say is psychotic.

Put it together.

Different messengers,
same message.

Kagame, Travis,
Lucas, Garza, me!

Look, we just need to
get you out of here.

We're time travelers.

And not just us.

Kiera and Jason, too.

And we all know
you as Theseus.

Jason called
me a murderer.

We call you a leader.

You are Theseus if
you decide to be.

I've seen it in you.

I've seen it
in your writings.

You are the revolutionary
that will resist Alec Sadler.

By killing people?

Maybe. Maybe not.

There have been so many
changes in this timeline.

Maybe you will find a peaceful
way to lead this revolution,

but either way...
(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Please.

Lead it.

How many do I kill?

Thousands.

It moves past being a monitor
to an on-board doctor.

Stimulates serotonin
when you're blue,

opens up the cortisol floodgates
when you're stressed.

What about pacification?

Massive flood of endorphins
into the system.

Instead Of a riot, you
have a hundred people

riding a relaxation wave.

No harm, no violence.

People just have
to want to wear it.

Did you bring what I asked?

Well, hello.

I came in to
tell you but

actually you might
like this better.

Number 14.

It's Sonya Valentine.

What's up, Will?

Sonya. Don't move.

Put your hands up!

Take the shot!

I got this!

Lower your weapons.

Put 'em down!

Do it. Do it.

Put your hands
behind your head.

Don't move.

Give me the cuffs.

I got this.
She's surrendering.

Detective Fonnegra.

KIERA: Yes. I got it wrong.

I had to figure out which
Alec the future needed.

You had been erratic.

That day I ran into
the two of you at Piron,

he was bleeding and
you seemed crazy.

That's not what you thought
when I told you about Sonmanto.

Derek Richardson's
trip to Dubai?

That was the other Alec.
(SCOFFS)

I was trying to getaway.

Trying to leave town but
then you called for help.

You always call for help
and I always answer.

You dragged me here
and you left me for dead.

Did you see those cages?

Did you notice that
they were empty?

Who do you think
was next, Kiera? Me!

You're not innocent.

You have jerked my chain

in every timeline
I've been in,

ripped me away
from my family,

dumped me here alone
to tell you how to change.

And then you took away
my chance to get back.

And destroyed worlds, Alec.

You. That was you.

I thought you were
getting me out of here.

I thought you were
a woman of your word.

Betrayal is her nature.

Did you really think I
would leave without him?

You brought him here.

(LASER GUN FIRING)

Don't move.

You can't go.

There's an order
to all of this.

And we can't know it.

I only thought we could.

If you could just

meet The Traveler.

Let's go.

Whatever it is
you believe, Katherine,

I don't.

(GASPS)

Alec has created
a new product.

He calls it HALO.

He dug the CMR out of
dead me to make it work.

He's so far ahead of where
we should be, it's scary.

You can let me out here
or take me where I'm going.

You might want to
secure the attitude, kid.

She just saved
your ass.

Who are you anyhow?

Different timeline.

Different future.

So, nobody in this
car is from now?

I need your phone.

I am sorry, Alec.

Sorry?

You really have no idea
how inadequate that is.

Yeah, well, he killed other
me and we're managing.

Why stop
at just one?

I felt guilty about
the first one.

What's your future like?

KIERA: There's no SadTech.
Good.

Kellog's in charge.

It's tribal. Half a dozen
different factions.

All the tools to destroy
life, nothing to sustain it.

Not even the will.

Maybe Brad's future starts now because
it's the other Alec and not you.

(PHONE MESSAGE BEEPS)

It's Carlos.

He says he's worried about Dillon
and wants you back at the precinct.

I have to go.
I'll drop you off.

Urn, I need money
for the bus.

Where are you going?
Up north.

I can get him there. Kiera can
meet us later. We can talk.

Do what you want, but
north's where I'm going.

(GRUNTS)

(SIGHS)

We caught Sonya
coming out of Piron.

She tried to sabotage
the HALO mainframe.

I'm assuming
it didn't work.

No, we were
on her too fast.

You know I had her.

She practically surrendered

and Dillon was ready
to shoot her in the street.

You heard?

It's a coup.

Join me.

Big day.

Feels that way.

Can't win for losing,
as you pointed out.

There's no rescue mission
this time, Miss Valentine.

You know that was
the end of us?

A day that should have
felt like such a victory.

You beat us.

KIERA: You beat yourselves.

I suppose.

There's an opportunity
for you here, you know.

You tell us where
to find the others

and you have my word it
will go easier for you.

They're gone,
company man.

And even if I did know
where to find them,

do you honestly believe I'd sell
my own people out so easily,

just because
you did?

You can go.

Fight or flight,
Protector.

They're both bad choices.

You don't believe that.

I believed an idea was
greater than love.

DILLON: Cameron.

SONYA: Don't wait
till it's too late.

You'll figure it out.

Are you prepared for this?

Yeah, yeah.

Nora took my statement,
other cops, too.

Dillon is very
powerful, Carlos.

This could come
back on you.

Yeah, well, let it.

Can't watch what he's
doing and let it pass.

We've been known to
outsource the incarceration

of terrorists, you know?

We just don't have
the facilities here.

CSIS, FBI, Canadian
and US military.

It seems like everybody
wants a piece of you.

Right now you're all mine.

I imagine that must be
quite a thrill for you.

What can I say?

I like to accomplish my goals.

Catch the big bad terrorist?
Check.

Stop her would-be
sabotage. Check.

Help me find
the others.

You can be more comfortable
than you deserve.

You're still selling that
line when there's no one left

in the room but me?

How about you?

I found the other Alec.

And it wasn't exactly
a friendly reunion.

Maybe I'll get my own chance
to make things right.

What did you think you
were going to accomplish

with this sabotage?
People will wake up.

People like their gadgets!

Your entire rebellion
is pointless.

Not if it inspires someone
to resist what you're doing.

What I am doing

is making the world
a safer place.

What's to resist?

You're like every general
that's ever tasted power.

You want more.

And you will destroy
what is human

in us to get it.

I'm afraid in this case
you overestimate me.

No, I think I see
you very clearly.

You're low-hanging fruit
and Alec Sadler

has plucked you off the vine to
chew you up and spit you out.

How long till you
spoil completely?

That's no
prison transfer detail.

You're in no
position to judge.

I'm in the best position.

I find you guilty.

(GRUNTS) Are you okay?

(ALARM BEEPING)

(INDISTINCT TALKING)

(SIRENS WAILING)

What a goddamn mess.

What do we do about Nora?

Have her bury this? Let the guy
go out with some sort of dignity?

I don't know.

I've got to go.

I have to find Alec,
figure out which...

Kiera...

It was still
in his briefcase.

He had a backup plan

if the first rendezvous
didn't work out.

Kids playing like a
couple of professionals.

Whereas the
two professionals...

Well, we made it this far.

Why did you kill me?

It wasn't personal.
(SCOFFS)

My mission was to kill him.

And you walked in.

Collateral damage.

Chen told me who
you are. What you were.

Guess I thought I was
killing an enemy soldier.

Is Alec safe?

He's your family.

He's my family.

Not the family I was
trying to get back to.

I know.

The strange thing?

Aside from all of it,

is that if you
hadn't shot me

I never
would have found you.

Kiera Cameron.

You are the key.

He's so forgiving.

He loves you.

EMILY: Good luck.

Enjoy this place.

You too. Wherever
it is that you're going.

I don't want to know.

I don't believe anything that
I do will make a difference

in the way that you want.

Not in the way
I once wanted.

I understand, I get it.

But what about for now
when it's needed?

Sometimes people
make assumptions

on their basic hypotheses
that are wrong.

You thought that
I was the problem.

I thought that
I was the problem.

But...
But it was me.

Problem. Solution. Who knows?

Be careful, Alec.

You too.

Viewers tipped a million
last night, Mr. Sadler.

You picked up your
tilt-rotor yet?

You hear about Sonya? Dead.

I heard.

Down a board
member, too.

Too soon. Sorry.

You were fond
of him, I know.

Now, would you like
to see this picture?

I went old school with
this, for the privacy.

That was yesterday.

Seems the woman has
changed her mind.

She is a heartbreaker.
