"Previously, on Continuum..." "Two of me." "Two of her?" "Yeah." "If I had a disease, by catching it while it's still treatable," "Halo will monitor you on every level." "I am not of this time." "You're gonna want to fit in." "I've had my representatives tend you an offer for Sadtech Incorporated and all intellectual property, including your exclusive services." "[Fitful dream]" "No, no!" "NO!" "[out of breath]" "Shit." "It's ok, it's ok." "It's ok." "Are you ok?" "They're blue, like little jewels." "They came loose off the string." "The necklace is worthless." "My daughter, she just..." "Keep going." "Try to remember." "She just had to gather them up." "Kept them by the windowsill for hours." "Right by the windowsill." "It's the middle of the night, why is it so bright out?" "You can see every point of light from every window." "The towers should be dark, you can't even see the stars." "Why would the towers be dark?" "Because... because... ribbons of dark, slashed a starlit sky... something... something we defy." "Because it's dangerous." "Towers are dark..." "It's working." "That's it." "That's it!" "That's it!" "Hey, no, no!" "It's good, it's good but just watch the merchandise." "That's contents under pressure here." "It's stable." "The yields have been off, imperfect, every single one of them!" "Like a dirty ice cube." "But then I was thinking, there's an element to this that's bio-organic." "Well, you had me at "ice cube"." "I'm gonna go get us a couple sodas." "You want one?" "Cloned." "It needed to be cloned, not made." "You clone the organic part of the liquid chip down to the very last detail and the DNA integrates with the nano-circuitry." "It's amazing!" "Well, yeah." "It's revolutionary!" "That, too." "It's..." "Something you created in 2028." "I'll have a yield of forty ready by the morning." "We'll put them in the new test units." "Ok." "I want to be first." "What?" "Halo, I want to test it." "Can I be first?" "Dad?" "You little shit." "(Betty):" "So there's dental?" "(Dillon):" "Of course there's dental." "What kind of a police force do you think I'm running, here?" "Well, you haven't seen my teeth." "Stats say crime with a cyber-bend is up 28 percent this year." "That trend line is only going up." "We need to get this division into the 21st century fast." "I can definitely help you with that." "Some enthusiastic, youthful hijinx here, Ms. Robertson," "I'm gonna have to smooth some of this to get you cleared." "I am strictly white hat." "I mean, I like to poke around systems, but I clean up my campsite." "So no more surprises to come?" "No, sir." "Boss." "[Knocks on door]" "Hey, you wanted to see me?" "Yes, Detective Carlos Fonnegra, this is Betty Robertson." "She is going to be joining our little crew here." "She knows her way around the cyber." "Thank god, it'll be good to have you." "Come see me when you're settled, there's a couple things I could use your help with." "Ok." "Welcome to the family." "So dental's not the only perk." "Cameron?" "I haven't been sleeping." "I know in my bones we're not doing everything we can to nail Liber8." "Sir, you've got half of a division on it, plus Piron resources." "It's clear that they've become stronger, smarter." "They've stepped up their PR war, we've made some unforced errors." "I did something terrible." "I pushed my daughter out there as bait." "Christine's arrest." "We cooked it up together." "She was trying to impress me," "I knew it and I let her do it." "Betty told me something was up." "Liber8 can't resist the symbolism." "A VPD inspector's daughter." "She was released last week and I can't get to her." "What would you like me to do?" "You seem to know these people better than any of us." "You anticipate them." "Just get Christine clear, please." "I don't care how you do it." "Yes, sir." "Cameron." "No more Bettys." "No more Bettys." "No, I would NOT like to leave a message for Mr. Sadler." "And I do not want to talk to the Piron VPD liaison." "I'll tell you what." "You tell that little shit that he better call me back or I'm gonna come down there and ring his neck." "Are you ok?" "Yeah, fine." "What's this?" "I've been going over Liber8's recent moves." "They've been laser focussed, targeting all of the companies that make up the GCC." "Global Corporate Congress." "Yeah, I know." "Some of the players aren't around yet, won't be around for decades." "But Sonmanto, Fermitas." "Look at the list." "Yes, yes and yes." "It fits, you're right." "What else?" "That leaves only a few corporations who have yet to feel Liber8's boot on their neck." "Skip to G." "Gautuma?" "Yes, a pharmaceutical company." "It's small for now, but Gautuma is going to grow exponentially." "They pioneer nano-medicine." "They create self-evolving antibiotics that adapt to new strains of diseases." "Yeah, and the cure to the common cold I'm sure." "Yeah." "They upend the industry." "Within three decades they swallow every competitor." "So they become a monopoly?" "And they're not shy about using the power." "Sonya Valentine, and any doctor, would have a lot to say about these guys." "I wouldn't be surprised if Liber8 was casing them already." "Certainly worth a friendly visit." "Hey, how's that houseguest, by the way?" "He still sleeping on the couch?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "I'm sorry, detectives, but I simply don't see the logic." "If Liber8 wants to take down big Pharma, that's not us." "We are the poor relations at best." "Try Pfizer, Merc, Glaxo." "Anybody else, really." "We have reason to believe Liber8 may have an interest in Gautuma." "Based on what?" "It may be personal." "I highly doubt that." "Liber8 doesn't always come in with a battering ramp at the front door." "It might help if we knew a bit of your development slate." "What are you working on that might be of interest to a terrorist group?" "Or our competitors?" "Think of this as a free threat assessment." "Why don't we do a tour?" "[Phone vibrating]" "Why are you contacting us?" "You're there to observe and wait." "I know." "You're barely in place a week, you haven't found a log in the data we've tasked you to..." "VPD." "Say again?" "Detective Fonnegra and the other one, Cameron, they're here." "Ok, stay out of sight, wait for instructions." "Sonya." "Yeah." "Dillon's kid, the one we just placed in Gautuma, says the Protector just showed up." "It has to be a coincidence." "We're just gathering intel." "Ok, well either Cameron's getting better or we're slipping." "Labs and testing are here, manufacturing is off site." "We've reviewed security twice in the last year, we're hyper vigilant with our supply chain." "We saw contractors a few minutes ago." "Where were they going?" "Fifth floor." "We're expanding our marketing division." "More money into marketing, truly impressive security, a general air of increased activity, you can feel it." "And if you don't mind me saying so, you seem a bit anxious." "Anxious is completely the wrong word." "The truth is we're entering on testing something big." "A game changer." "Next little blue pill?" "Much more important." "One of the worst things in life is watching our parents fade." "It's cruel, inhuman." "We're on the cusp of making that obsolete." "Alzheimer's." "Dementia." "We're heading into trials and it looks very good." "Why would Liber8 want to stand in the way of that?" "You have eight messages." "How many messages from Carlos Fonnegra?" "You have eight messages from Carlos..." "Delete." "Alec?" "There's something you need to see." "Do you know what this is?" "Yes, and you have to go." "Jason, come on in." "Morning, Alec." "Good morning." "How are you feeling, Jason?" "Great." "Crystal clear." "It's like a fog lifted." "Holy shit." "It's the chip... it integrates better than we'd ever dreamed!" "I don't know why this works." "I always figured it for a wiring issue, myself." "If you're gonna make a time omelette, you gotta scramble a few eggs." "Wait, that sounds like something you would say." "Well, it doesn't fix your sense of humor." "This is incredible!" "Do you know what this means?" "It means Halo is headed in the right direction." "It's a shame we can't tell that story." "Why can't we?" "Well, if we tell people how Halo helped me, it's bound to raise a few questions." "Questions nobody really wants answered." "Never mind." "It's a bright spot, and one we really need." "Launch plans, manufacturing facilities, approvals, they're all behind severely." "What's holding everything up?" "You have to get to that meeting, and no, you cannot reschedule." "Gautuma's not ready to go public with a drug trial so I did some digging around to see if there's any insider information getting leaked out." "Checked security filings, guess who popped up buying large swaths of Gautuma stock?" "Mathew Kellogg." "Bingo." "Think he knows something?" "Mathew always knows something." "It's figuring out whether you can trust what he knows." "That's the difficult part." "I'll be back." "Want me to tag along?" "No, Mathew's better when he thinks he's charming me." "I should go..." "That's Christine Dillon." "I've vetted some of the recent hires at Gautuma." "Well, who's May Policetto?" "She was born in 2056." "She died a Liber8 martyr six months before the attack on the corporate congress." "So Dillon's daughter taking that name is not a coincidence." "No." "Liber8 got her a custodial job at Gautuma." "What the hell is he thinking, putting his own daughter in undercover?" "That's insane!" "And it worked." "Ok, we put surveillance on Gautuma." "We sit on them, wait for them to make the move, catch them in the act or we follow them back to their hole." "But none of that is possible if we warn her." "For all we know, Liber8 has low level people in half of the corporations in this city." "Yeah, you may be right." "But this is the only one we know about for sure." "Plus, it may be a chance to get one back for Betty." "It's a big risk." "Yeah, hell yeah it's a big risk." "But Dillon's been putting this department at risk for months." "He never talked to us when he wanted to change the rules, and he's the one that put this in motion." "If this was anybody else's kid, do you think he'd blow the best lead we had in months?" "No." "I don't like secrets, Carlos." "[Phone vibrating]" "This one I need to think through." "Ok." "I need to take this." "Track down Kellogg, huh?" "[phone vibrating]" "Start talking, Mr. Sadler." "You've got it all wrong." "Really?" "So you're not a body-snatching little ghoul?" "You know, I oughta take your head and bounce it off the..." "I'm sorry." "I wanted to do something." "You're the one who said it was too much for you to handle." "Where is she?" "Safe." "Obviously, any normal service is out of the question." "We'll say a proper goodbye, I'm planning it now." "When?" "Just leave it with me, ok?" "I'll be in touch." "Alec Sadler?" "Come in." "Is this the principal's office?" "Congratulations on Piron, young Mr. Sadler." "You've shaken things up." "I've heard about things like this." "Are we gonna talk about overthrowing governments?" "Fixing the price of oil?" "We'd like to talk about you." "You need to... what's that expression my grandson likes?" "Slow your roll." "Oh, hey." "The salmon here is amazing." "Can you believe they actually catch it in the wild?" "Why are you buying up so much Gautuma stock?" "Oh." "So this is how its gonna be with us now?" "I small talk, you go right to business?" "Ok, that hurts." "Well, they're undervalued for one." "You and I both know by how much." "I don't know, maybe I'm making a long play." "And maybe your friends are about to try something." "Yeah, because Liber8 really wants to increase my stock's value." "You usually have a better working theory than this." "Gautuma is starting drug trials." "Alzheimer's drug, I know." "Sounds like a sure thing to me." "Or a familiar thing, anyway." "Flash, Kellogg, was originally an Alzheimer's drug." "Oh yeah, it was, wasn't it?" "But the good folk from the VPD took Flash off the street." "I seem to remember it was a big win." "I've finished my coffee." "It was good to see you." "Yeah, Kellogg was no help, except he thinks the drug might be something that we've seen before." "Pull all the files on flash." "I have to go." "Don't." "You can't do that." "Why not?" "Because it will trigger a response." "If you power it up, they might know it's not from this time and then they will find you." "Who are they?" "It's a long story." "Suffice it to say, they're dangerous." "So what good is this, then?" "I have a wife and a child and I don't even know their names." "How is that of any use to me?" "I was trained and I was sent here to do something, but all I remember is this." "This sentimental bullshit!" "Hey!" "Hey." "We're gonna figure this out." "[Car horn beeps]" "You know who I am?" "Yes, of course." "I'm doing what I was told, I'm going to work." "Relax, if I was gonna hurt you, you would have never seen me coming." "Get in." "Maybe that sentimental bullshit is your way back." "They're close to the bone so you remember family first." "My son, Sam, he won't be born for 60 years but ugh, how I clung to him." "The memories of him when I first came here." "They got me through." "Yeah, but what good are memories of someone who isn't even real?" "Might never be real?" "If they haven't been born yet, we haven't had the chance to leave them." "Neither of us." "Wow, that is a strange way to parse it." "We suffer for our children, we fear we are putting them in harm's way every day." "And sometimes we can't help it." "I used to think being here was putting Sam in danger, but maybe I'm protecting him somehow." "Maybe Dillon was right." "Who's Dillon?" "My boss." "Sorry, I've got a lot on my mind." "Well, I'll trade you." "Scratchy images playing in my head do me no good at all." "Is there something in your cuff?" "It's a key." "Does that mean anything to you?" "Not a thing." "Well, I've seen it before." "Where?" "It's the key to a safety deposit box." "What's that?" "Footage from the Bergenzer Bank, a few weeks before the robbery." "What are you up to?" "Houseguest homework." "Did you pull the files on Flash?" "Yeah, there's been no new busts or incidents in more than a year." "The supply has basically dried up." "Maybe Kellogg was yanking your chain." "The only way to find out is to get a sample of" "Gautuma's Alzheimer's drug." "Just walk through this with me for a second." "Let's just say that this big breakthrough is indeed Flash." "What's Liber8's play?" "They're the ones that put it on the street in the first place." "(text alert)" "Why would they want to make Gautuma rich?" "I don't know." "The car they had sitting on Gautuma said that May Policetta was a no-show at work this morning." "So the combined message was that I'm rocking the boat and I needed to just slow down." "Really?" "The nerve." "It's like getting a wedgie from the Fortune 500." "We're barely over the technology hump with Halo now they are saying they'll sink us with over sea suppliers and regulators and labour, if we don't..." "Ok, shhhh." "Leave the star chamber crowd to me." "But I need you to do something." "What?" "If Halo is gonna be what you want it to be, it's gotta be more than a product." "It's gotta be a social movement." "It needs to align with people's values in a completely new and revolutionary way." "Well, it's too bad I don't know any rappers or rock stars." "Oh, kid." "I'm sure you do." "You gonna drop more cryptic hints about my destiny?" "I just wanted to see you." "Mmm." "You brought a friend." "Inspector Dillon's daughter." "[Laughs]" "Nice." "And here I thought I was living on the edge." "It seems that no matter how hard I try to change things, the very corporations we target find a way to turn it to their advantage." "I didn't think it would be like this." "I thought there would be more outrage." "You feel impotent." "You think what you do doesn't matter, Sonya." "You're right." "I think what they need is a leader." "Can I show you something?" "I've been waking up early." "I put in two, three hours every day before the sun's up." "Julien, you here?" "Stay down here." "I just want to talk." "It's not that I don't appreciate the pro-active attention, Detective." "But our trials will be following standard procedures." "There's nothing sinister or unusual about any of it." "Well, we still may have reason to believe that Liber8 is interested in your company." "One more question." "Something that made me curious in our last visit... when you were talking about Alzheimer's, who was it?" "My mother." "I'm sorry, that's tough." "Detective, where's your partner?" "Did you get lost?" "Something like that." "Nice stalling." "Thanks." "Have them put a rush on this analysis." "Good." "You're out of your mind." "What Samantha did to you was pure character assassination." "I've got guys like that on my back, too." "It doesn't have to be that way." "Look, your Halo thing sounds like a pipe dream." "It's not, I promise you." "It's already doing things that I thought were impossible." "Can your conscience wrap itself around a corporation that's trying to do good?" "'Cause I swear that's what I'm trying to do." "No, I see why it's good for you." "I don't see why it's good for me." "Vice President, social responsibility." "You write your ticket." "Charity projects, international development, brand ambassador?" "You're a pulpit, Julian, and I'm gonna pay for it." "Stop talking change and start making it." "What's this?" "A taste." "Having a corporation working for you can be very useful." "It was good to see you." "Well?" "Well, it's raw, and uh..." "some of it's pretty rough." "But it's Theseus." "It's me." "I don't appreciate the summons." "I'm in the middle of a case." "I understand." "But I have a couple of questions." "So do I." "The device I brought you from the Bergenzer Bank?" "I need it." "That's not possible." "That device is of unknown providence, it must remain in our facility." "Fine." "I'll look at it here." "I see." "I guess we're seeing the limits of our partnership." "You have a visitor." "How do you know him?" "There was an incident, approximately 11 weeks ago, several unexplained temporal signatures." "So it seems we both have something to investigate." "I'm going to get back to mine." "My personal life is off limits." "I promise you, you don't want to do this." "Oh, but I kinda do." "[Phone vibrating]" "Hello?" "Hey, are we gonna do this or what?" "I have a few more details to get into place." "Tomorrow, for sure." "Don't jerk me around, Sadler." "Tomorrow, I swear." "Are there gonna be any questions about you being late?" "It shouldn't be a problem." "My supervisor has a crush." "I haven't had to scrub a toilet yet." "Ok, keep coming to work." "Wait for instructions." "In the meantime, pay attention for any mention of clinical trials." "Be invisible, but see everything." "Ok." "You're smart." "Lucas briefed you on what to look for and you know you're a coup for us." "I know." "I'm hanging a lot on your daddy issues, kid." "It's more than that." "My father used to talk about the public like protecting them was something sacred." "And now?" "He soured on us." "All of us." "You have no idea how dangerous your father is." "One day soon there'll be hundreds like him." "They'll be perfectly insulated, utterly protected." "Right now he's just one man drunk on power and darkness." "He was always there." "Liber8 just revealed who he really is." "If you betray us," "I will slit your pretty throat myself." "Now get to work." "It's at the lab now?" "They promised the results ASAP." "If it comes back as Flash or a derivative, we just have to decide if we move on Gautuma right away, or wait and see what Liber8 does." "We wait." "Liber8's the target." "We've got a solid lead." "Flash was on the street for weeks." "Anyone could have acquired a sample and analyzed it." "There is no evidence they're linked with Liber8." "Actually, there is." "Your daughter." "What about her?" "She's embedded at Gautuma." "It appears Liber8 placed her there." "They will make a move sooner or later." "What if pulling her out tips them off?" "It won't." "We'll stash her in a safe house." "As long as there's no contact with you," "Liber8 will assume she ran." "No." "We wait and see what Liber8 does." "Of course I wish Christine wasn't in the middle of it, but we are too far down that road now." "No, we are not." "She's not trained, she shouldn't be in that position." "Are you questioning my orders, Cameron?" "We are way outside issues of operational authority here." "That takedown, if it happens, will happen quietly." "I want Gautuma kept out of it." "Oh, come on." "This..." "If their drug trial works, it will help tens of millions of people." "By repurposing a street drug that comes straight from Liber8." "If that association gets out, it will destroy the company." "We are not here to do Liber8's job for them." "You keep me up to speed on anything you hear about my daughter, but she stays in play." "Understood?" "Close the door on your way out." "What'd you expect?" "Better." "I expected better." "[doorbell]" "I got your call." "It wasn't that kind of call." "Oh, relax." "Please tell me you have an opener." "I was going to bring one but I figured that you might..." "Mathew." "Well, I guess I better sell that Gautuma stock." "Can you get that to them?" "Are you sure about this?" "You're declaring war." "Liber8 already did, and that's why this is going to work." "Uh... hello." "Hello." "As soon as I have confirmation," "I will upload it to a secure server." "The IP address is there." "Thanks for stopping by, Mathew." "Sure, sure." "Um..." "You owe me one." "I'll manage." "Goodnight." "Goodnight." "Was that Mathew Kellogg?" "Yes." "I have this vague memory that he's a big deal." "How big?" "Bigger than Alec Sadler?" "Who's Alec Sadler?" "[computer alert]" "Just reading about your war in Sonmanto." "Congrats on the coverage, by the way." "Yeah, well if you want me to keep going" "I have some demands." "Requests?" "Sure, I'm listening." "That's good to hear." "[Phone vibrating]" "Hey, Carlos." "It's Flash, 100 percent." "It's even a match for the impurities from one of the batches that we logged last year." "Ok, thanks." "Are you sure about this?" "Carlos, that drug looks like a miracle cure right now, but the cost of addiction and destroyed lives?" "It's not worth the future arriving faster than it should." "Ok." "Do it." "Christine." "Get in the car." "Those Sonmanto headlines?" "Yeah, that was us." "You should also watch that space for some truly amazing news about Gautuma." "And right behind them is anybody else who wants to try to take on Piron." "Hey, would you do me a favour?" "Would you pass that on to the other old, fat, white guys?" "We will burn you down." "I lost a bet with Lucas because of you." "So the protector delivered." "She did." "Gautuma is going to have a terrible quarter." "You, like, totally owe me." "[Pencil snaps]" "[pencil snap]" "[Heavy breathing]" "What the hell is going on?" "I have had half a dozen panicked phone calls from Gautuma." "Their stock price is imploding." "All on rumours." "Not just rumors." "I don't know what the hell you think you're doing, Cameron, but I'm..." "Dad?" "Christine." "I did what you asked me to." "And you brought her back here." "Where everyone could see." "Yeah." "I guess she's not much good as bait anymore." "No more Bettys, sir." "It's really good to see you." "Sorry it got cut short." "I don't care about that." "I am just glad you're safe." "I wanted to get you something useful." "Some intel, anything." "I'm sorry I let you down." "That's not possible." "Kiera, are you there?" "It's been a while." "Yeah, listen." "I need to see you." "Are you coming to the send-off?" "What send-off?" "Carlos didn't tell you?" "It's like a service for other you." "I'll see you there." "Is there somewhere we need to be?" "Yeah." "Where's the suit?" "She didn't know me like that." "What is this place?" "It was Escher's anti-matter lab." "You've been here before?" "Right, another time line." "When the other Alec came through here, the machinery was heavily damaged." "I've been working overtime to get it up to speed." "Alec?" "The complete device allows for modulation." "To choose where you go in time." "But with these pieces, and this lab, there's enough to do something else." "Ok, I'll need you both over here." "You want to say something?" "You first." "Ok, Kiera." "It's hard to say goodbye." "So long, partner." "I'm really happy you're still here." "I can open the portal, but I can't set a destination." "It'll annihilate her atoms." "Cast them through time, she will be everywhere and every-when." "A Viking funeral." "That's ok, right?" "♪" "She'd like that." "♪" "Thanks." "Yeah, don't mention it." "Carlos, give us a minute?" "Yeah, sure." "You think I don't know?" "What?" "You du." "You removed the CMR." "This whole thing, were you just trying to cover up what you did?" "Because the Alec Sadler I know, the one I met two years ago, he would have never crossed that line." "And you wouldn't've played on Carlos's grief to get rid of the evidence." "The Alec that you met two years ago is dead." "Or locked away somewhere." "She wasn't using it, and technically I did invent it." "Or I will." "I came because you called me." "Because Alec Sadler, my friend, said he had something to tell me." "So spit it out, whatever it is so that I can get away from you." "I can't even stand to look at you right now." "It was nothing." "Goodbye, Alec." "Maybe this isn't a good idea." "Time is the one thing I'm sure I don't have." "I can't do it anymore, I have to know." "Go ahead." "I will be right here when you um... get back." "[Breathing intensifies]" "I'm here." "I'm right here." "What did... what did you see?" "My name." "My name is Brad Duncan." "I'm a field commander in the Cowichan River militia." "My wife is Melinda." "My daughter is Elenia." "And I know why I came back." "It's a one-way trip." "It doesn't have to be." "Your dream, to get back to Sam or whatever you tell yourself, is a lie." "It is a lie." "No, no." "No, that is not true." "They're dead!" "They're dead." "My wife... my... my baby." "I watched them die." "[sobbing] It was the first time in my life that I felt happy." "I felt happy." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." "I know why I left." "I volunteered."
