"Previously on Continuum..." "You removed the CMR." "You're just trying to cover up what you did, because the Alec Sadler I know" "The Alec that you met two years ago is dead, or locked away somewhere." "I knew it!" "Curtis is the one that killed me!" "You want to cheat death, Kellog?" "Help me, and I'll teach you how." "Was that Matthew Kellog?" "Yes." "I have this vague memory that he's a big deal." "Bigger than Alec Sadler?" "Who's Alec Sadler?" "My name is Brad Tonkin." "And I know why I came back." "It's like a fog lifted." "Peace of mind." "It comes from knowing your people are watching out for you, like your family doctor, your therapist, your personal trainer, your nutritionist, your physiotherapist, your entire health and well-being team." "But who can afford all that specialized care?" "You can." "Meet Halo, your health and lifestyle oracle." "Real-time medical monitoring and disease prevention now within reach." "This is what peace of mind looks like." "I'm worried it's overkill." "It's perfect." "We've received pre-orders beyond our best projections." "When they see it..." "I win." "(Kiera):" "Do I know you?" "(Brad):" "I was hoping." "Who am I?" "(Kiera):" "I don't know why I trust you?" "For some reason I do." "(Curtis):" "She wasn't supposed to be there we should have had more time." "(Brad):" "Your people don't have a handle on this." "Kiera?" "I have nothing for breakfast, we ate the last eggs yesterday," "I'm gonna pop downstairs, ten minutes" "I swear." "Food, food is coming." "Kiera, it..." "We're on a mission, brief..." "Fire burn all timers, neutralize..." "[Gunshot]" "[gunshot]" "I know you're in here." "Yeah!" "Come on." "Come to Poppa." "[laughs]" "One... two... three... four... five... six." "Seven... eight." "No." "No!" "I'm not going back in the box!" "I'm not going, never!" "I am not going back, I'm not!" "I got you, I got you this time!" "Oh no, not you." "It wasn't supposed to be you." "Oh... no, no!" "I'm home!" "Brad..." "I told you, he's not here." "Then where is he?" "Is he ok?" "He's fine." "Who were you hoping was here?" "You know damn well." "Your house guest is your business." "Katherine believes he should be here, but" "Yes, where is Katherine?" "Since Chen, she's grown cautious." "Katherine is counting on you to do the right thing." "She wants you to come to the choice yourself." "She said to give you space." "You're with us now." "I'm not with anyone." "We don't have him, Kiera." "We don't have any idea who he is, but he's temporally unsound." "There were signs of a struggle at my place." "You said he beat Chen in hand-to-hand combat." "Something happened." "Out there in the zone or captured by someone else, either way the stakes are huge." "He's a danger to this time line, you realize that." "I have an idea." "I'll be in touch." "[Phone vibrating]" "Carlos, what is it?" "It had to be done." "You were sloppy." "She wasn't supposed to be there, we should have had more time." "You people don't have a handle on this." "That's impossible." "It must be a glitch." "You said you had eyes on Alec Sadler?" "I'm looking at him right now!" "Are you certain?" "Because you said you had the contamination tracked." "We do." "Kiera Cameron inside... your intel is shit." "We'll regroup." "I'll reassess." "You've done enough." "I'll find you when I know more." "The freelancers." "I saw them, and then poof... somebody else." "Just like that." "Ooooh, oh I know, touchy subject, I know." "Shhh..." "Don't ask, don't tell." "Don't ask, don't tell." "This guy's free falling." "I know what you're thinking." "Side effects may include blah blah blah blah." "Ask your doctor." "Ask your dad." "Don't ask your dad, he's too young." "He's way too young." "It's not going to work." "Jason, you know me." "Calm down." "It's ok, just..." "Check this out." "That's the second device." "The one my..." "The one Alec used to travel here." "Where is it?" "Evidence lock-up." "I need to get it out of there." "Noooo, no, no, no." "Dangerous in the wrong hands." "That's temporal plutonium." "Then why were you trying to put it back in play?" "It needs a fix, quick fix." "He needs a win, needs a win." "So close, yet so far." "Are you talking about Alec?" "No, no." "Shhh!" "Yeah?" "He's free to go." "What're you talking about?" "The charge was dropped." "Lack of evidence." "Claimer recanted his story, said it wasn't him." "I'm going to need that back." "It stays here." "I'm good for it, I swear." "Not this time." "Scram." "Let's go ding, ding, top floor, top floor, technology... devices, let's go." "A criminal assault complaint does not just go away." "Not without help, it doesn't." "Unbelievable." "He was storming, and now he's... calm." "Like an addict getting a fix." "Yeah." "Find out how those charges were dropped." "Where are you going?" "To the source." "You tread lightly, ok?" "Piron is all over this department, and Alec Sadler is a big wheel now." "He's not your boy." "Not anymore." "Let me see the discharge papers on that last one." "Dillon." "He do this himself?" "Hey, how are Sydney and the boys?" "They good?" "How about ice cream with that social worker, huh?" "Red head, glasses, what was her name?" "Carlos." "Not the first case like that bounced, violent outbursts the last couple weeks." "All the charges dropped?" "All wearing those bracelets." "Keep this between us, huh?" "You didn't hear anything from me." "You can't just walk in here." "All evidence to the contrary." "You made it pretty clear last time we spoke that we were done." "Jason attacked someone, beat him pretty badly." "I believe it had something to do with Halo." "Get Jason up here, please." "He dug up a time travel device." "Now, I doubt that's an idea that he had on his own, but I can guess who might have put him up to it." "A certain CMR thief." "I need that chip to make the neural link work effectively with Halo." "It was the missing piece of the puzzle." "Should I let it get vaporized?" "Don't try to rationalize what you did." "I'm sorry I want to make the world a better place and change this stark future that I'm supposed to create." "I think you're lying." "If I was lying, you'd know by now." "So am I?" "Kiera, um..." "I have to apologize, I had some sort of regression." "I am truly embarrassed by what happened." "Jason, I believe Halo is" "I haven't felt this clear in years." "I took it off." "Halo, it's not causing my regression, it's actually preventing it from being worse." "Halo is safe, Kiera." "I wouldn't be wearing it if it wasn't." "Yeah, I've made some mistakes, but you can see I'm committed to the greater good." "I still remember my own warning." "You better." "I'll see you out." "I'll see myself out." "[Knocks on door]" "Mr. Litchfield?" "Yes." "I'm Detective Fonnegra, VPD." "I've got a couple of questions about your involvement in the Halo project." "I understand you're part of a limited developer beta test?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "How about the domestic charge last week?" "You know about that?" "I didn't talk to anyone." "They took the damn thing away," "I got nothing to do with it anymore." "What is it with you people?" "Did somebody at the department lean on you?" "Were you reimbursed?" "Not nearly enough." "You cops gotta get your stories straight." "Go talk to that bald bastard." "You mean Dillon?" "Yeah." "Hey, it's me." "What'd you find?" "There's at least three others." "I spoke to two of them." "There were pay-offs, Dillon's involved." "How'd it go with the boy genius?" "Alec claims he doesn't know a thing about any problems with Halo or Jason's extracurricular trip to the park." "You believe him?" "I scanned him." "He checked out." "So that's a dead end." "It's not sitting right." "Just because Alec believes Halo is harmless doesn't mean that it is." "Whatever they're paying you I'll triple it," "I need your help." "You're Kiera's uh..." "You're Matthew Kellog." "My reputation precedes me." "I hope that's a good thing." "I know you better than you realize." "I'm not exactly from around here." "You and me both." "That's why I came to you." "I need resources, I need information." "I don't even know you." "You will." "What do you need, exactly?" "I need to find a freelancer, retrieve something they took." "Can you help me with that?" "Those guys tend to find you, and it doesn't usually go too well." "They don't worry me." "Alright, say I do find them." "How would I contact you?" "We pre-arrange a meeting." "Take this." "I'll call you." "We need to act fast." "Our future depends on it." "Hang on." "I don't want to be rude here, but who the hell are you?" "You'll have to wait for another time." "We're seeing a reaction in less than six percent of our beta testers." "Six percent." "So that means if the launch goes the way we want, by Christmas we'll have 30,000 psychotic people walking around?" "It seems a bit high." "It'll never get to that." "It looks like a problem with the neural interfacing." "It's like if someone had a gluten allergy but, you know, in the brain." "We could find a work-around." "Are you dumbing this down for me or her?" "No, I would never." "Really." "It's an Alpha model." "The first quantal phones shipped as bricks." "They recovered." "You should have told me about this, Jason." "You should have come clean." "I know." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "Look, I don't want you to keep wearing this if it's hurting you." "But we really need to fix it." "You're the lead on that interface." "Yeah, I can take breaks, a few hours on, a few hours off." "It'll be fine." "Yeah." "No more secrets between us, ok?" "Alright." "Piron has a dangerously flawed product that they've invested millions in, and they have Dillon on the inside sweeping up the damage." "You better be a hundred percent sure before you make any accusations." "I have three people that say they handed off charges, and payoffs were handled by Piron lawyers." "Any of them willing to go on record?" "No." "You shoot the king, you gotta kill the king." "Alec is involved." "What is with your hate-on for Alec?" "I thought you chose this Alec over the other one." "That ceremony, for the other Kiera, did you ever stop an ask yourself why he did it?" "It was about respect, closure." "Or maybe a great way to cover something up." "Make evidence disappear forever." "Evidence of what?" "Her CMR chip, he removed it." "He didn't." "Yes." "This Halo technology is three generations ahead of what's available today." "How do you think that happens?" "That little..." "Ok." "Where are you going?" "I'm going about this a different way." "How so?" "I'm calling in a favour." "You?" "I've got another lead to chase down." "It's a long shot, but..." "So you gave up and joined the enemy." "Well, my principles are unchanged," "I'll work for Piron and just watch over them." "Really?" "Huh." "'Cause from the outside, it seems like Alec bought you and put you on a leash." "You're trying to provoke me." "Why?" "I've got three crimes, all of them swept under the rug, all of them wearing Halo beta testing devices." "That's not a coincidence." "I'll talk to Alec about it." "Kiera already did that." "I was looking for something a little more... covert." "Piron is putting profit ahead of public safety." "I thought that's what you were there to prevent." "I'll look into it." "Who are you?" "I just came to get something I left here." "That's my hiding spot." "Yeah, I figured we could share it." "That was underneath?" "Uh huh." "So uh... did you live here before?" "You could say that." "Billy Kemp do that?" "Let me tell you something." "Billy Kemp is a coward." "You remember that next time you see him." "And then you ball up your fist, and you let him have it." "Hit him?" "It's gonna hurt your hand, but he won't come at you again." "That is terrible advice." "Don't worry, I'm with the police." "You in trouble?" "Nah." "But we do have some bad guys to catch, though." "Bradley Tonkin, you get in here before your lunch gets cold!" "I should go." "Brad, don't be the one who hits first, ok?" "That makes you the bully." "But if he comes at you" "Then it's ok?" "You have to protect yourself." "That was interesting." "I thought you'd been snatched." "The broken glass, the blood?" "Uh, yeah." "Sorry." "How'd you find me?" "I didn't find you." "I found him." "I'm impressed." "I'm good at my job." "And sorry?" "What's going on?" "Am I going to have to apologize again if I say it's not you, even though it's not exactly true?" "I came here to help you." "And you've done that, all the way down the line." "It was a mistake and I have to go." "There is something that you aren't telling me." "There's a lot." "When are you from?" "And who sent you back?" "We both walk away." "That's the only choice." "It's no choice at all." "Put your weapon down, Travis." "You think I came here alone?" "You must be sweet on this one, Protector." "It wasn't even hard to sneak up on you." "So." "You caught me." "What now?" "It's Wile E. Coyote finally catching the Road Runner." "It's a cartoon." "It's pretty existential fare, actually." "There's a coyote who's just relentless" "We're savouring the moment, Protector." "What do you want with me?" "What makes you think we're interested in you at all?" "Where did you get these?" "From Alec." "They're experimental." "They're his." "They are." "The microcircuits are advanced beyond anything now but it's a weird, hybridized nano-tech, like a cave man building a cell phone." "From the future?" "Yes." "Don't." "Who sent you?" "There's aspects to this time that I truly appreciate." "Like how you still have to do certain things by hand." "UGH!" "[grunts of pain]" "You can take a hit." "Apparently." "Time for some answers, future man." "UGH!" "What are you doing here?" "Cleaning up your mess." "Halo beta test, list participants." "[Computer] Halo participants." "Alright, narrow to those who have reported anti-social behaviour." "[Computer] No findings." "Not a one, right?" "Widen the search to former participants." "[Computer] You do not have clearance." "No access." "So much for openness, huh Alec?" "Jason, you ok?" "Police knock you around a little bit?" "Nah, it's all cleared up." "Some move along, move along, nothing to see." "But you're not the only one, are you?" "Others were arrested, did things, they paid to make it go away, right?" "I don't know." "You're not wearing your Halo." "Oh, no." "It's not wearing me." "I'm not wearing it." "Who's driving, now?" "Right." "You see some results you didn't like, or...?" "Oh, no, no, no, I won't do that." "I won't do that, I will not betray him, no sir." "Nope." "Jason." "Jason, there's no one to betray here, ok?" "We're just talking about the bracelet and Alec would never do anything to hurt people, so" "That's right, Alec would never do something to hurt people!" "Never." "No, Alec Sadler will become a great man, and he wouldn't hurt anybody." "You, murderer, you... nothing good for you." "You don't know any more about my future than I do, Jason." "What?" "Yes, I do." "I lived, saw it, lived it, didn't like it." "Didn't like the ending, didn't like any of it." "Not much, not at all." "Alec, he sent us back 65 years." "Me, Kiera, Liber8, we're all here because of him." "You, you're not gonna stand in the way." "Not now, not then, not in the future then." "Jason, listen to me, ok?" "You're not well." "Fine." "Truth, Theseus." "Murderer." "You." "Halo was made to make disease go away." "You need to go away right now." "You're here for a reason." "Explain." "UGH!" "Travis!" "What is your mission?" "For all we know you're just a guy who came across some future tech." "Not in this case." "[Nail gun]" "This is on you." "Start talking." "[Screams in pain]" "Jason!" "Jason!" "Jason, let him go!" "Come on!" "No, no, no, Jason!" "It's ok, it's ok, let go!" "I got him!" "It's ok, it's ok." "It's ok, ok, let him go!" "Julian, you ok?" "Jacqueline, go to my office, he does not leave this building." "Yes." "You ok?" "No, no, no!" "Jason!" "You're ok." "No, no, it's alright." "It's ok, come back." "Come back." "You're ok." "[screams in pain]" "Let her go." "Talk, and I will." "2039 is the year I left." "I was sent because right here, right now, is when the time line became disrupted." "How would you know that?" "Freelancers were" "Freelancers?" "You're one of those assholes?" "No, we neutralized one of their facilities." "We went through their reports, what wasn't destroyed." "They were convinced that this city, this time was ground zero for a cataclysmic time anomaly." "Cataclysmic how?" "I don't know, but it rippled into my time." "Nah, he was probably sent here by the corporate congress." "Corporate what?" "The corporate government." "You must know it." "Corporations, multi-nationals, whatever you want to call them, they all collapsed." "That explains the toy gun." "Protector, used you?" "Bad news." "Just let her go." "No, I want to hear this." "What happened?" "The global economy cratered." "Never recovered." "The government tried to nationalize industries, that didn't work." "Companies started to cannibalize each other." "They took up arms, they formed factions, declared war against the government." "And?" "And?" "The people had enough." "A few more corporations declared war and everything changed." "Revolution." "Civil war." "That means we did it, we changed it." "Kagame's vision!" "Yeah." "We made it real!" "You know the other beta testers, the ones that got arrested, they all suffered similar mental breaks like the one I had." "What happened to them?" "It wasn't my choice, but it got handled." "It's done." "We should move on, make the best of it." "This technology, it took you decades to invent." "A lifetime of expertise, experience." "It's really the zenith of your creativity." "Maybe the 20 year old you isn't quite capable of grasping the entirety of it." "I'll do better." "Everyone keeps looking at me like I'm some naive kid, handed a legacy by my father." "Sad thing is I never even knew the man." "Never will know." "I guess I was just trying to prove myself to him." "That I deserved his praise and his love." "But I pushed you, I thought maybe by working together" "I would be a better father then." "Everything you said." "Was it true?" "Yes." "You did get your memory back." "And then you bolted." "I didn't like what I remembered." "Yeah, well, next time leave a note." "Then maybe we wouldn't be in a situation like this." "I remember my mission," "I remember what I was supposed to do." "What I did." "Oh, god dammit." "Kiera." "Kiera." "I'm the one who killed you." "No, Curtis Chen killed the other me." "I saw him." "You saw him shoot." "Your suit stopped the bullet, neutralized it somehow." "I didn't miss." "I'm sorry." "What do your weapons do?" "One of those is a weapon, the others... they aren't useful in this situation." "What's your read?" "I think they're trying to figure out if you're full of shit." "I didn't tell them everything." "That seems to be your thing." "Do we believe him?" "I believe her." "The way she reacted?" "Kiera?" "It's all wrong." "There was no biological component to it." "The corporate congress doesn't exist." "Of course the weapons are different." "His story is too convenient." "He's leaving something out." "We won, Travis." "Take it in." "Oh god, oh god, oh god." "You ready?" "Not yet." "[painful grunts]" "Shit!" "[painful grunts]" "[Choking] Ahhhhh!" "Nice try, Cameron." "Back!" "All of you!" "This feels familiar." "Kill me if you want, Kiera, but it won't change a thing." "Liber8 wins and you lose." "Trust me, changing the future isn't as easy as you think." "Yeah, but we did it." "So make up your mind." "Either pull that trigger, or let me go." "Maybe the corporate congress loses in this time line, but in the time line I come from I killed your ass good." "In your dreams, little girl." "Maybe dreams are more real than you think." "When did you get to be so philosophical?" "When I saw my own dead body." "I wish I could shoot you yours." "[Gunshots]" "He dies, you die." "[Gunshots]" "And this is the heart of Halo." "A bio-organic microcircuit that interfaces directly between brain and machine." "There's no other technology like it." "Looks like it comes out of a terminator." "Jason volunteered to be one of the first beta testers." "There were risks." "He's psychotic, Alec." "That's more than a risk." "What happened was a glitch." "He's better now." "This new chip is pure, it's perfect." "With this we'll be able to catch cancer and other diseases and save lives." "Millions of lives eventually." "I couldn't access any of your records." "Why do you want to stop Halo in its tracks?" "With all the good it can do, what good would you be doing?" "[text message alert]" "Yes, I helped get those charges dropped." "Why?" "The benefits of this Halo thing, do they really outweigh the risks?" "Everyone who wears it sends biometric and psychoanalytical data back to Piron's servers." "We can collate and filter that data for warning signs of abhorrent behaviour." "Big brother." "Wow." "This just gets better and better." "And if we can prevent a terrorist from striking, or a gunman from walking into a daycare?" "There will be checks and balances." "Believe me, I want this done right." "You and I are cut from the same cloth, Carlos." "We want to protect and serve." "This gives us a huge advantage." "Don't burn it all down now." "No matches here." "So we're supposed to believe that you are not you." "And I'm not the only one." "There are two Alec Sadlers." "Bullshit." "He made the time device work." "He travelled back to change things and created another time line." "This one." "Did he encounter himself?" "She'd say anything." "Remember when I sprung you from the freelancers?" "How I knew the story of the time you fell behind in patrol?" "That's because you and I had that conversation just before you died." "Two Alec Sadlers." "Think about it." "That's what created the alternate future that this guy comes from." "I guess your secret deal with Sadler just got a little complicated, Garza." "You work for Sadler?" "!" "No, of course not!" "He sent her back here from 2077." "If only you people knew what you don't know." "Hey." "Homeowner reported two strangers in the back yard talking to her kid." "Yeah, and?" "A unit responded, spoke to the witnesses, identified these two." "Agent Cameron's car was in the alleyway." "There's no sign of her." "Shit." "Alright, text me the address." "Come on, come on." "Kiera, where are you?" "Call me back." "We're in this together, Lucas." "You can't believe what she's saying." "I can't believe what any of you say!" "And none of you can believe me!" "Even though I've got the evidence!" "You are going to want to be careful with that." "Lucas." "Don't you see?" "If this time line has been altered, then we're just pawns in someone else's game." "Either Sadler's, or hers." "Lucas, no." "No." "He's right, and none of you get it." "Everything you've done is for nothing." "Aarggh!" "Take it easy!" "It's useless!" "All of it!" "Two Alecs!" "Two Protectors!" "One dead!" "And" "[GUNFIRE]" "Now you tell me something." "Who's future is this?" "You." "Start talking." "About what?" "About the future we made and what happens after." "Corporations versus governments." "How do you think that turns out?" "People chose sides, then switched sides, tried to protect their families, only got caught up in the middle." "Life became about survival and survival became a life sentence." "Please, they're just trying to play us." "Keep talking." "I grew up in this beautiful city." "In less than 30 years, it's a lifeless crater, dogs tearing at corpses, everything gone to hell because of you." "All of you." "Your useless rhetoric, your vision." "None of us is in control here." "You never catch the Road Runner." "It can't be done." "From the moment Alec and I travelled to this time line, you have all been pawns in someone else's game." "It gets better!" "Chen." "It can't be." "It is." "Look at this." "We got the band back together again." "Sorry we're late to the party." "Your cell phone." "You used it to track me." "Well, at least he's smart." "That's something." "So come on, catch me up." "I want to hear all about this alternate future you're apparently from." "Starting with... me." "There's no corporate congress." "We won." "That's not what the man described." "I remember how it feels, thinking your leading change, then realizing someone's playing a deeper game than you can even imagine." "Like you, Lazarus?" "It's not a game." "It's a mission." "The one he sent me back for." "Kellog's one of several clan leaders, created this plan to change history." "Kellog?" "You see?" "Any future is possible." "You just have to want it bad enough." "I'm living proof." "Travis, you were done before you began, brother." "Kellog, working for himself," "Curtis working for the freelancers, and Garza working for Alec Sadler." "Your plans were compromised from the beginning." "No one controls the future, it is an ever-evolving organism free to change and adapt as it sees fit." "Nothing left to fight for." "No winners, there is no perfect system." "I can show you if you let me." "Let him open your eyes." "Show us." "As we stand now, on the precipice of war," "I am reminded of what we have endured" "Is that me?" "And what we are fighting for." "Hundreds of thousands have already paid a terrible price, with their lives." "But for what?" "Our children are starving." "Our city is in ruins." "We have had enough." "We must rise up as one." "We must act now before it is too late." "Before our strength and our will abandons us." "You can't know what impact your moves will have now." "You're done." "You're all done." "She's right." "It's pointless." "And I'm tired of being someone else's bitch." "This is just one possible future." "We're needed now more than ever." "No, our mission concept is flawed." "A soldier knows when the battle is lost." "Think I can have that?" "Does it matter?" "Tools always backfire." "Brad, you ready to finish this?" "I'm not the same guy that came through, Curtis." "You're both on your own now." "I'll tell you what I do know." "Whatever is supposed to happen will, with or without you." "We'll pick this up later." "We can fix this." "We can still fight for what we believe in." "I don't know what that is anymore."
