Continuum (2012–2015): Season 3, Episode 8 - So Do Our Minutes Hasten - full transcript

TRAVIS:
Previously on Continuum...

(GRUNTING)

But we're hoping to create something
for the commercial market.

You wear it?

CARLOS: You'll be fitted
with an ankle tracker

that you will wear
at all times.

KIERA: We're going to
use you as bait.

KELLOG: You did great
with that board, kid.

You held your own
against the vipers.

You need to bring
in a mongoose.

We're in a bit
of a hiring freeze.



KIERA: What would Liber8 want with a
truck full of Sonmanto chemicals?

ALEC: A truck full of this
stuff and the right equipment

and you've got the mother
of all chemical weapons.

Liber8's gonna poison
the whole city.

SQUAD LEADER: (OVER RADIO)
Move out!

Everyone stay alert!
Expecting Liber8 activity.

Orders are to locate and break up this
gathering and arrest the leadership.

Liber8 is the priority here.

EFRAM: Anyone at the GCC
can have a voice.

If that doesn't happen soon
then every day we wait,

the idea of it becomes
harder to sell to those

who already have a stake
in the new building plan.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is
an illegal political gathering

and a violation under Section
2 of GCC civil regulation.



(STAMMERS) This is
nothing of the sort.

This is a citizen's
committee meeting...

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

A citizen's
committee meeting.

We're trying to save this heritage
building from demolition.

SQUAD LEADER: I appreciate
the sentimentality,

but this land has been
designated... Mom?

EFRAM: We’re just
asking for a hearing.

A forum to voice
our concerns.

You'll get your
hearing all right.

Why are you here? SQUAD LEADER:
You're all under arrest.

Standing up for something.

They're calling this
a political assembly.

That's rubbish.

I'm going to try
to get you out of here

before they start
booking people.

You'll do no such thing.

This is serious.
I agree.

You're not the only one who gets to
take a leap for what she believes in.

People should have
the freedom to move.

To think for themselves.

To chase ridiculous dreams
if that's what they want.

Arrest me!
(WHISPERS) Mom.

She's done nothing wrong.
She's here, isn't she?

Kiera, you don't want
to become this.

Be rebellious
in another way.

l am not rebelling.

Against me, darling?
Yes. Yes, you are.

It's okay to be wrong but
eventually you gotta own up.

You're strong, baby.
That's not everything.

(SOFTLY) I love you.
Ripped By mstoll

DIANA: (ON TELEVISION) Today
my guests are Inspector Dillon

of the Vancouver
Police Department

and also with me
former Liber8 member

turned social enterprise
activist, Julian Randal.

Welcome to you both.

Thank you, Diana.
Thank you for having us.

Inspector, you first.

Why is the Piron initiative
so essential to our safety?

Well that's a great
question, Diana.

Budgets are
under pressure.

And so are our boys
and our girls in blue.

Now without
private support,

the bad guys will
continue to grow stronger

while we fall further
and further behind.

See a private police force doesn't
need to answer to its citizens.

Only its shareholders,
isn't that right?

We're all shareholders
in this city.

Every one of us
wants to feel safe.

The VPD is
taking advantage

of new breakthroughs in technology
to make sure that we are safe.

All of us.
Buy the technology then.

You don't let the technology buy you.
DIANA: Inspector...

No, no, no. Diana. Diana.
This is the problem

with people like
Mr. Randal here.

They always blame what
they don't understand.

Corporate sponsorship
is not ownership.

Open up your books.
Prove it to me.

And give the bad guys a look?
No. Thank you.

Will Piron replace the VPD?

Absolutely not.

Piron is a tool for law enforcement.
Nothing more.

And for those of us who are law-abiding
citizens, nothing will change.

Come on, that's a smokescreen
and you know it.

Do you have proof to
back up any of the...

The ridiculous statements you've
been making recently in the press?

I'm working on it, yeah.

Well, my service to
this city over the years

is why I think people
can take my word for it.

Where's your credibility,
Mr. Randal?

That's exactly
what I thought.

DIANA: More with Firing Point in a
few moments. (CELL PHONE CHIMING)

Cameron.
Bitch cop.

I'm out.

This time try and stay
out of my way.

Resorting to
taunts, Curtis?

That's a little
below you, isn't it?

A little humility will go
a long way with you.

You had so many
opportunities.

So little insight.

We're going to
have to fix that.

MALE EXECUTIVE: When I look
at our competition,

when I look at what Piron is
doing, Vickerdale, Sonmanto,

I see corporations
here for the long haul.

Vision for a future that
ensures that longevity.

If Fermitas is going
to stay in the hunt,

we need to leverage
minds, not metal.

Invent, not improve.

We need to own the marketplace today.
(LOW WHIRRING)

Tomorrow's a day late
and a billion dollars short.

(ALL COUGHING)

What's going on
with the vents?

Everybody out!
Out! Now!

(COUGHING CONTINUES)

(ALARM BEEPING)

(BEEPS)

Rita! Rita!

Open the door!
Get the door open!

Get the door open!
Open the door!

Call someone!

You don't fight
a disease by curing it.

You fight a disease by catching
it while it's still treatable.

HALO will monitor you
on every level.

Advanced sensors with
algorithms that tie back

to Piron's
central servers,

continually mining data to adjust,
improve and diagnose everyone.

HALO is more than just a
medical clinic On your wrist.

It's the CDC.

We'll find new clusters,
make connections

and stop plagues
from even happening.

TOWEY: Impossible.

The research and development
alone will take years.

Don't believe me?

Try it on.

(INDISTINCT MURMURING)

(BEEPS)

All right.

Your heart rate is 85,
blood pressure 150 over 90.

It's a bit elevated.

Your serum cholesterol is...
TOWEY: Please.

This is all educated
guesswork for a man my age.

Not to mention I can walk into
any drugstore and find out.

What?
ALEC: Uh...

Nothing we can reschedule the meeting.
What is it?

There's traces of
carcinoembryonic antigens.

It's a marker for...
Colon cancer.

Two years ago.

I'm in remission.

I absolutely hope so.

Excuse me.

What can you show us
in two months?

(SIGHS)

A bunch of
tired engineers.

Two months
is impossible.

I move to allocate funding to HALO
project for two months' development.

All in favor?

You have 60 days,
Mr. Sadler.

Make believers of us.

Impressive.

It's solid technology.
Not the device.

You.

It doesn't work yet,
does it?

It's close.

(CLEARS THROAT)

So how'd you know
about the cancer?

I had a look
at his insurance file.

That type of cancer has a 60%
chance of recurring so...

It's a ballsy move.

I believe in the project.

It's something
that can help people.

Better hope
you're right.

You just staked your
whole future on it.

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(WHISPERS) Jesus.

How many?
A dozen.

Did you find anything
on the roof?

There was a laptop wired
into the operating system.

It overrode everything.

Locked the boardroom doors,
opened only the specific vents.

The gas was directed
straight to the target.

Can't be long before
Liber8 makes a statement.

Given the Robin Hood act that
Liber8 has been putting on,

this atrocity doesn't
make sense for them.

DILLON: Well, fanatics are not
in the business of making sense.

KIERA: Where's Carlos?

We tasked him on a whistle-blower
case involving Sonmanto.

So it's you and me
working this one.

Is that a problem?

No.

Adele Mason's
phone records.

CARLOS: Your ankle
bracelet's showing.

So? What difference does it make?
Everybody knows.

I'm done hiding.

l am.

Well, everybody's
always hiding something.

Especially those
that say they're not.

So how come you're sitting here instead
of working on the Fermitas attack?

Or is that a secret?

(SCOFFS)

Whats up with these highlighted numbers?
What's the significance?

Yeah, your whistle-blower
called Julian Randol.

Is that so?

Have I told you lately that I love
what you've done with this place?

No.

Not lately.

I just want you to know

I appreciate all the time
you've devoted to SadTech.

But let's not kid
ourselves, okay?

Your true devotion
is to Alec.

Not the company.
Thank you.

You know I've
been thinking.

Alec, he's all alone
over there at Piron.

If he can't
make it back to us,

then maybe you
should go to him.

No, I'm pretty sure
he's coming back

'cause he left all
his clothes up here.

Sure.

But what if he
needed your help?

It's entirely possible he's
been too embarrassed to ask.

So why not make it
easy for him?

You're gonna
wanna fit in.

Perfect.

Liber8 just
released a statement

claiming no involvement
with the Fermitas attacks.

I've been monitoring web and FTP sites.
There's been zero chatter.

Nothing suggesting an
operation as big as this.

Nothing at all.

Check my
browser history.

My keystroke log. They
prove what I'm saying.

What about this?

Specialized hack to
operate doors and vents.

Custom circuits.
Spyware.

Sound familiar?

Lucas's handiwork?
Possibly. Sure.

I want you to reconnect
with your old friend.

Did you ever initiate
contact before?

No, I waited for Lucas.
That was our protocol.

But if I get active in the chat
rooms, he might reach out.

Might.
DILLON: Fine. Get active.

I want you to find out
where they are.

I appreciate the trust.

Let's not get ahead
of ourselves.

Okay, well,
I will work on Lucas

and I might have some
other names for you.

Just leave it with me.

Betty.

I, um...

I want to add something
to your workload.

A favor.

This is that
dead Liber8 guy.

Yeah, except...

What? He's not dead?

It's a hunch
I'm working on.

If you have any way to
monitor him through CCTV,

police cameras... Without
drawing attention to the fact

that I'm looking for
a dead Liber8 member?

You're right.
But I can outsource it.

Someone who won't ask any questions.
Will that work?

You trust this person?

Do you trust me?

Yes.

I just...

I just don't
understand...why.

I got hired here
because I could go gray.

Hack. That's
how it started.

And it was just
off books, undercover.

Maybe I was in
over my head.

But then the ground
here shifted so fast.

Doing the right thing?

That matters to me.

Thank you.

CURTIS: How's the soup?

What... Shit.

Shit!

You miss me, Kellog?

That depends.
Are you, you?

The one you set up.

The one you betrayed.

The dead one.

Well, then, the least I
can do is buy you a drink.

So are you going to kill me here
or do we have to step outside?

You haven't
changed a bit.

You have, clearly.

(SIGHS)

Okay, come on. Please let's
just get this over with.

You owe me.

That's one way
to put it, I suppose.

And right now
I'm in a situation

that could benefit
a man of your abilities.

Your resources.
Your morality.

(STAMMERS)
What's in it for me?

You want to
cheat death, Kellog?

Help me and I'll
teach you how.

So what?
You're a reporter now?

Just a talking head.

Rap sheet and an opinion
gets anyone on TV.

What's your
opinion on this?

Ooh. Pretty girl.

Pretty thief.

And she's been calling you.
So what?

The pretty thief stole
intellectual property.

You been demoted
or something,

because this doesn't really
seem like your usual fare.

Why's Adele Mason
been calling you?

She didn't steal anything.

That's just how
Sonmanto's framing it.

You know I'm so sick of this shit.
Let's go.

Detective Fonnegra, please.
This is the jackpot, Julian...

Hey... By my count this is
your last parole violation.

Why don't you just
meet with her? Huh?

Talk to her,
then make your decision.

How many people died in the attack?
KIERA: (ON CELL PHONE) 12.

There are five nerve gases
that fit the profile.

I need to figure out if
the effluent Liber8

stole from Sonmanto would
have the same signature.

Here's the problem. You combine the
effluent with the other chemicals,

you get a variety of
different reactions.

It's entirely possible that Sonmanto's
waste chemicals were mixed with say,

dimethylamine and phosphorous
chloride to create nerve gas.

Okay. Well, then who would
have distilled it?

Kiera, I'm saying
it's a possibility.

It's hard to actually
prove without blood tests

and hard actual physical
proof like a bomb canister.

And if I get you
one of those?

Sure. I'll see
what I can do.

Hey.
Hi.

Thanks for dropping by.

Wow, you look so different.
Yeah, well,

didn't want to
embarrass you.

This place is really
ding-ding-ding.

Bells and whistles. Yeah, I know.
Mmm.

Ooh, HALO.

Are you creeping my files? No.

Of course not. Sorry.

You probably had one.

Oh, everybody had one.

Wait, did you come
through with it?

No, that was
a long time ago.

But you’re
making it now.

It's a good product.

Caught all your
heart attacks.

So you're familiar
with the project?

Yeah, the basics,
yeah. Yeah.

Jason.

Son.
(SNORTS)

I could really
use your help.

JASON: What do you mean?
Here? With you?

Betty's tagged
a likely suspect.

Elton Bibby.

He's an underworld
fabricator.

Makes custom components.
Dark-net sort of thing.

This is definitely
in his wheelhouse.

Custom listening devices in the Fermitas
offices match some of his known designs.

They had the whole
place wired.

Probably watched
the whole thing.

Liber8 buy from him?

I'm not sure.
It's possible.

I'll text you
the address.

(SIRENS WAILING)

(HELICOPTER HOVERING
OVERHEAD)

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

DILLON: Do you think we
can trust Betty's intel?

I think she wants back in the
department more than anything.

Well, let's see
if she's right.

Can you clear this site? Cameron
and I are going to go in.

Sir.

Cameron!

We've been
looking for you.

Yeah.

We got an issue.

Don't know what
to say, guys. I...

I have no idea why
my house exploded.

DILLON: You have no idea who
might want to kill you?

Tie up loose ends?
Nope.

You're a smart
guy, Elton.

Full scholarship
to WCIT.

They tell me you could
get in anywhere you want.

Hey!

Nobody is going to ask me about
due process today, Elton.

Do you know why?
Because cops are assholes.

Agent Cameron,
are cops assholes?

Sometimes... Sir.

She's right.
Sometimes we are.

But not today, Elton.

Because today we are hunting down
terrorists who killed 12 people.

And then tried
to kill you.

So the whole
due process thing?

Agent Cameron?

Not very important.

DILLON: Because this
is terrorism, Elton.

And whatever I have to do to protect
the people of this city, I will do.

And I have
a free pass to do it.

I know you.

You're the chief of
the private Po-Po.

Guy who has
his own force.

You're good
for business.

I can detain you

on a security certificate
if I want.

Lose the paperwork.
You disappear.

And then when they find
your body in the rubble,

everyone will assume that
you died in that explosion.

What he said.

DILLON: The name.

Travis Verta?

Sonya Valentine?

Lucas Ingram?

Jasmine Garza?

Could be.

I can't just give
those guys up

without some consideration
for my cooperation.

Of course there will be
consideration for your cooperation.

You might even
make bail.

But you're going to
have to give me a hint.

Do any of those
names ring a bell?

Absolutely.

Smart.

(DOOR CLOSES)

I don't believe him.

He just tied Liber8
to the gas attack.

As soon as you gave him the names
and a ticket out of here he did.

So he's taking advantage?

Hey. Lucas just
made contact.

Okay, so he wants me to
find a connection between

Sonmanto and Fermitas
through you, sir.

Does he mention anything
about the gas attacks?

Well, I brought it up
but he wouldn't bite.

He's been rifling through
your private e-mails

and he wants me to find something
in your police accounts

or by talking to you.

Is there a connection
between the companies?

They could be targeting Sonmanto again.
KIERA: No.

Liber8 is strategic.

Layered.

It's not like them to make
connections afterwards.

Tell them you're looking.
(TYPING)

Keep the
conversation going.

BETTY: Nothing yet,
haystack's a little big.

(LAPTOP PINGS)

Mata Hari?

Yeah, I picked it
a long time ago.

Okay.
Give me some time.

(PINGS)

What does that mean?
"lt's taken care of"?

Apparently they found
what they're looking for.

(GRUNTING)

Who are you?

(BOTH GRUNTING)

You do not want to
mess with my people.

(PANTING) Help!

(GRUNTING)
Clock's ticking, Jasmine.

You gonna make
your move?

(SIREN WAILING)

(GRUNTING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Come on in.

That's funny. You don't
look like an Adele.

She'll be here.

Internal e-mails.
Un-redacted reports.

Correspondence proving
Sonmanto has been lying

about health dangers for
a dozen of their products.

All of which
was stolen.

You'll also find price fixing,
union busting, stock manipulation.

Really take your pick.

Is any of this verified?

Diana has three researchers on it.
So far it's all good.

(DOOR OPENING)

So, theft?

Or whistle-blowing?

I'm not so sure you
can separate the two.

JULIAN: Well, they need to be.
And immediately.

We only get one chance
to do this thing right

before Sonmanto's spin machinery
swings into operation.

For what it's worth, I was
authorized to access them

as part of my employment.

Does that include removing
them from the premises?

Well, when I saw what was in
them I had to tell someone.

JULIAN: Information
should be free, Detective.

Whistle-blowers too.

I guess I'm prepared
to go to jail.

I'd... I'd just
rather not.

Give us a minute,
would you?

Yeah.

(DOOR CLOSES)
So why him?

He's not exactly
unbiased.

He's not owned
by anybody either.

Yeah, if I start digging around what
do I find out about Miss Adele Mason?

You'll find she's someone who
loved her job and her life.

Who made tiny allowances
as time passed

because I still believed in what
I was doing and where I worked.

But now it's too much. I can't
keep making allowances.

You understand?

I need your help.

Any idea why a known
terrorist would target you?

Wrong place,
wrong time, I guess.

KIERA: You're ex-military?

Yeah. How'd you know?

You went a couple of rounds with a trained
terrorist and you're still alive.

The bad laser job
on your tattoo?

Looks like an eagle
and an anchor?

Former Navy SEAL.

You work private
security, Mr. Neelon?

Yeah.

Is there a law
against that?

Not yet.

Excuse me.

(LOW) So I made contact
with Elton Bibby.

I think this is going
to be a break for us.

DILLON: (WHISPERING)
Just give me a second.

Anything else you can think
of that might help us?

I got nothing.

We'll be in touch,
Mr. Neelon.

Thank you.

(CLEARS THROAT)
So what do you think?

I think he's connected to
the whole thing. Agreed.

If he is former military, then
it suggests mercenary work.

Liber8 contracts him,
the deal goes south.

It comes to blows.

Liber8 is about
the ideology.

They recruit.

They don't hire.

No viable business keeps
doing the same old thing.

There's no moving forward
unless you're willing to adapt.

Internal documents reveal
that Sonmanto sold GMO foods

without any government testing...
(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

...and in clear violation of
agricultural import laws.

And, there's more...

ADELE: I just wanted to
do the right thing.

Hey.

I thought you might be hungry.
God, yes.

Stealing from your employer? Revealing
trade secrets? (DOOR CLOSES)

I don't know how
you were raised but I...

ADELE: People need to know what
these companies are doing.

Their secrets aren't more
important than peoples' lives.

That's ballsy.
(SWITCHES OFF TV)

What?

What you did.
It's, uh... It's brave.

You, too.

(SIGHS) Oh, all I did is pretend
that I didn't find you.

Well, you could.

Find me, that is.

It would be difficult to
disappear me after this

and it would protect you
if you found me.

Let the rest of the media pick up on
the story before you reveal yourself.

Safer.

I hate to drag you
into my mess.

You know I had someone tell me
today that she was done hiding.

I told her everybody's
hiding something.

What are you hiding?

What am I hiding?
(CHUCKLES WRYLY)

Oh. Everything.

No.

Adele.

Wait. Oh, shit.

So. How's it feel to be doing some
real journalism for a change?

I received a call
from Ned Harvey.

He's chief legal
counsel for Sonmanto.

Sure. They'll bring out a lawsuit, okay?
That's typical.

He's starting with
a criminal code violation

against me,
the show and the network.

False supporting
of a crime.

That sounds like a different
version of cease and desist.

He sent these.

Copies of the exact documents
Adele brought in.

They suspected her of
corporate espionage.

So these documents
were a plant.

That's... That's...

I reported a fairy tale
as fact.

Your lawyers
vetted these.

Well, the second thing we'll
do is fire all the lawyers.

You're not
under contract

so you might be able lo scuttle
away from the fallout,

but trust me on
this, Mr. Randal.

I will be shoving it
in your direction.

(DOOR CLOSES)

(GUN COCKS)

Clearly you're
hereto talk.

So you want to put
that thing away?

We didn't
gas that building.

We did not
kill those people.

Then who did?

The guy you beat up?

Possibly.

Today's attack is exactly the sort
of thing Liber8 did in our time.

Sonya could have easily made the
nerve gas from the chemicals...

We didn't keep the waste
we stole from Sonmanto.

We left it all on that truck.
Bullshit.

Listen for a second.

Can you do that?

As soon as we heard about
this we knew we'd be blamed.

Lucas followed a trail
on the Tor network.

He found a job posting matching
some of the details...

Killing those people
at Fermitas was a job?

We've been
gaining ground.

Someone doesn't like it.
You need to figure out who.

I need to?

Why would I do that?
So that I can save you?

They're taking control
of the story.

They're killing
innocent people.

We don't have
those chemicals.

This was not us.

Okay.

You feed me
everything you find.

Sure thing.

Partner.

(GRUNTS)

Don't even
joke about that.

I see you, Protector.

(HISSES)

You're not sure
of anything anymore.

(SHOWER RUNNING)
(CHIMING)

(SIGHS)

Fonnegra.
JULIAN: Papers are fake.

Everything Adele brought us from
Sonmanto, it's a honey pot okay?

She was meant
to find it.

I tried to call Adele to warn her
but she's not answering her phone.

(SIGHS)

I'll see what I can do.
Okay.

Shit.

(SIGHS)

In theory, Sonya writes
their line of bullshit.

Does this read like her?

BETTY: No, the language
is too casual.

Sonya's generally
more pompous.

That's what I thought.

Can you bring up that
picture I sent you?

What if I told you
he's an ex-Navy SEAL

and that he answered an ad
somewhere on the dark net

that led to
the Fermitas job?

Lucas figured it out, then sent Garza
to find out who is framing Liber8.

Don't tell me you're
switching horses.

You are?

This doesn't
feel right.

No, it doesn't

Leave it with me.

Thank you.

Hey, Kiera.

I was monitoring
a Liber8 chat room earlier

and there was talk about a
high level recruitment.

Provincial prison
out of Maple Ridge.

Dillon's daughter.

Christine.
(DISTANT CLATTERING)

I really don't want to be
the messenger on that one.

I don't think it would go
over well coming from me.

It's okay.

I'll take the bullet.

Sorry I didn't say goodbye but you
looked like you could use the sleep.

You knew it was a plant.

You really are
sweet, you know.

So Why'd you do it?

When your boss asks you to do
something, do you ask him why?

You ever think that maybe, I
don't know, it was crooked?

Maybe it was something
that you shouldn't do?

Does anyone have
that luxury anymore?

It's nice to know guys
like you still exist.

You've got my number.

I mean you really do.

Call me sometime.

I talked to the FIU.

They insisted all of the stolen
effluent was still in the truck.

I remember it missing
5% to 10%.

Okay, well transport and
spillage could account for that.

(SIGHS)

You should also know that your
daughter's name was mentioned

in some internal
Liber8 communications.

Okay, so they
watch the news.

It was about recruitment.

(CLEARS THROAT)

Keep me apprised.

(CARLOS EXHALES HEAVILY)

I know. I know,
I screwed up.

In our favor.

Adele Mason
discredited herself,

Julian Randol and
the Sonmanto naysayers.

In many ways
it's a win for us.

Sonmanto put her
up to it.

So you did find her.

(SIGHS) Yeah. I, uh, spoke
with her this morning.

So Neelon isn't
just ex-Navy SEAL.

He's been
a merc for years.

He works through a contractor
named Grey Point Security

out of Antigua.

(CLEARS THROAT) Is there
any connection between

Gray Point and either
Fermitas or Sonmanto?

Cameron, we all know that
Liber8 was behind this attack.

Now if Neelon is
in fact part of this,

he's no doubt
one of theirs.

Damn it.
Stay on target!

All of you.

The pressure's
never been greater.

(LOW WHISTLE)

Betty?

Look, I get it.

That was, like,
one minute in your shoes.

Yeah, well, avoid the ankle
bracelet if you can.

Chafes like a bitch.

You can find
this connection.

I'm so close to getting
Dillon back on my side.

You gotta figure
this out on your own.

I understand,
but please.

Think about it.

What kind of connection?

I don't know.
Bad blood?

Massacre a dozen innocent people
over bad blood? That's insane.

CARLOS: People lie,
cheat and murder.

That's what "corporations
are people too" means.

Well, Sonmanto's been
interested in buying

a controlling interest in Fermitas
but negotiations stalled out.

CARLOS: Well, that
wasn't in the news.

Well, the only reason I know is
because we own 5% of the company

so they had to
tell us about the deal.

KIERA: And why
didn't it go through?

Fermitas wouldn't
budge on...

On their stock price.

(SCOFFS)

And what's their
stock at today?

It took a beating
after the attack.

CEOs from both companies met for
breakfast at 6:00 this morning.

No, they couldn't.

Exxon. Blackwater.
DeBeers.

That's what they did.

Check it out.

Sonmanto owns
Grey Point Security.

Bought 'em last year.

And Elton Bibby
wants to meet.

I think he's going to be able to
corroborate the connection to Grey Point.

And if he corroborates...

Well, then it's
a slam dunk.

Good work, Betty.

Looks like you've
connected the dots.

Thanks, Alec.

JASMINE: Hey!

Heard you
lost your job.

It wasn’t just a job okay? It
was more than that. A calling?

Yeah.

Yeah, a calling.

It wasn't.
I know that for sure.

Yeah, I know. A big part to
play in the future, right?

Can't wait.
Aw, look.

No TV. No fans.
No groupies.

No one lining up to hear the
thesis of mighty Theseus.

Came down here just to kick
me while I'm down? That's it?

I'm not hereto tell you
about your future, kid.

Too many people have
done that already.

It's lame.
Yeah, I agree.

(GRUNTS) "I agree"?
Just shut up.

First, you gotta be the guy in
charge of your own damn life.

That means you've
got to toughen up.

You're about as threatening
as a head cold right now.

You think you can
do that for me?

Why? Hmm?
What's in it for you?

I don't know yet.

Get in the car.

Come on.

CARLOS: Sonmanto killed a dozen people
just lo gel a better business deal?

KIERA: A blowback
nobody would risk.

Unless they had
the perfect fall guy.

Liber8.

Yeah. And Dillon is only
too happy to go after 'em.

Sonmanto bought immunity
by making themselves

the victim of your
fake whistle-blower.

They changed
the narrative.

We're saying a company
is a mass murderer.

Look,

we found the trail that led from
a hired mercenary to Sonmanto.

Sonmanto has been
trying to buy Fermitas.

We need more
than a trail.

You can't arrest a company.
We need a name.

Somebody that
initiated all this.

What if it's more
than one person?

What if it's bigger?

(SIGHS)

You know, if we'd
been working together,

you could have told me that Adele
was lying with just one look.

You think Dillon split
us up on purpose?

It would mean that he
knew this was coming.

There's only
one way to find out.

These connections
are very sketchy.

But with time and further
investigation, they don't have to be.

I swear, Cameron, if you weren't such
a bulldog about Liber8 in the past,

I'd think you were
protecting them.

KIERA: And I
wouldn't do that.

But I think we should take a closer
look at Sonmanto and Grey Point.

Oh, hell, let's just
subpoena Sonmanto and Adele.

If she admits to being
assigned this bullshit play

that gives us
some leverage.

No, I'm going to
have to say no.

We are not in
the business

of witch hunts
and speculation.

Suggesting some
other version of events

without definitive evidence
just muddies the water.

So we're done?

Liber8 is behind
this attack, Cameron.

I know it.

You of all people
should recognize that.

(DOOR OPENS)

(SIGHS) Is this what policing
looks like where you come from?

I still want to believe
Dillon is a good man.

Yeah, so were the cops
you used to work with.

At least from what
you told me anyway.

And they'd still put
somebody in prison

just for thinking
the wrong thing.

How do you reconcile
those two things?

I need a drink.

Sign me up for that.
Check it out.

My parole was approved.

What happened to you?

Oh, Dillon happened.

First round is on me.

Twist my rubber arm.

Listen, I'll keep digging.

There's proof that links Grey Point
to the attack. It's out there.

Now Dillon,
I don't know.

He might have tunnel vision
when it comes to Liber8

but cold hard facts
usually work on him.

(SCOFFS) Yeah,
facts would be nice.

Dillon's good will
would also be nice.

BETTY: Well, give it a few days
and then talk to him again.

He's under a lot of
pressure but I know him.

When I told him Christine's
name was mentioned

in some Liber8
recruitment chatter,

it barely registered.

Seriously?
That happened?

(CELL PHONE CHIMES)

We're in business.
That's Bibby.

Now?

Um, is it okay
if I meet him alone?

I just think it would be better
if we kept it nerd to nerd.

You know?

Okay, just bring him
right back here.

This isn't my
first rodeo.

(MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY)

What do you think?
Can we trust her?

I wonder why
she trusts us.

She saw what Dillon was doing
to the VPD months ago.

And she did
something about it.

Betty was right then
and she's right now.

Dillon talks about
protecting the public...

There's a whole
new mandate.

Citizens aren't even
a close second.

(SIGHS) You know, you're starting
to sound an awful lot like Liber8.

First Betty,
now you?

I don't mind learning
a few things from Betty.

Hey. Thanks for coming.

Yeah, well, didn't give me
much of a choice now, did you?

Sorry.

(GASPS)

(WHISPERING)
Now look what they did. Betty.
