"Previously on Continuum..." "I brought you the wrong one." "It seems the woman has changed her mind." "Alec has created a new product, he calls it "Halo"." "He dug the CMR out of dead me to make it work." "It took decades for you to invent." "Maybe 20-year-old you isn't quite capable of grasping the entirety of it." "I grew up in this beautiful city." "In less than 30 years, everything's gone to hell, because of you!" "We can still fight for what we believe in!" "I don't know what that is anymore." "Sonya, don't move!" "Take the shot!" "I got this!" "You're in no position to judge." "I'm in the best position." "I find you guilty." "Tonkin." "I got your message." "We've got a short window." "Access to the platform is limited." "The last recon team went down, I heard." "Those Abbotsford boys are hopping, screaming Jesus power." "I'm going in with a large force this time." "There won't be any recon." "It's all or nothing." "Hail Mary time." "Our mission clock is minus three clicks." "Wow, shit." "So who's the unlucky bastard?" "Oh..." "Right." "You put yourself on the list." "It was a long list." "You know the mission brief?" "Clean and fire, burn all timers, neutralize the zealot cell, stabilize the incursion site;" "Salt of God's saved Earth." "Yes, sir." "Traveller's lead lets us knock all the dominoes down." "I've got a contact that will back you up." "If things get too hairy, I want you to use this." "This wasn't in the brief." "Yeah." "The Hail Mary now has a Hail Mary." "There a problem?" "I want you to have my globe, Marcelus." "That's mighty large, Tonkin." "You know I still got three of mine alive, right?" "Yeah, but that's the only reason." "This works, maybe it all stops." "It never stops." "It's the same shit, just different." "Yeah." "Alright, I'll let the big man himself send you off." "Sir?" "I never knew I could want so little so much." "You know this is the part where it all goes to hell, right?" "How?" "You get a couple weeks in, compare histories, things come out, cultural differences, incompatible time lines..." "I work for a half-mad war lord." "I worked for big brother." "Sam." "For the first time in a long time, he feels closer." "But I feel like I belong here." "Sam is part of a dream that I had." "And the funny thing is, even with Liber8 trying to destroy everything that lead to him, somehow he still feels possible." "Even if you can't get back?" "I didn't say it made sense." "I just have this bizarre perspective that nobody will ever understand, except you." "It's like we're two sides of an argument." "The genius thing is not to have the argument." "I have been so careful." "Just a nibble here, a nibble there." "Nibble." "I've routered through Turkey, the Cayman Islands, and 17 anonymous proxy servers." "Just a slow, slow drip." "Just enough." "We have just enough." "Keep talking nerdy." "It's heating me up good." "We have enough to get to our next waypoint." "About time." "Hey, we're up against me, here." "Slow play is the only way." "You trust me to get us out of here, and then..." "Then I take over and no one will ever see us again." "What's that saying?" "Make plans, destiny laughs?" "You mean God?" "Time travel has put me off relig..." "Go, go, go!" "Are you hit?" "Are you?" "No." "I think God heard you and is pissed." "That wasn't God." "Alec's moves are a lot less mysterious." "You know what we have to do now." "Henry Ford said there are no big problems." "There are just a lot of little problems." "In life, those little problems are in your veins, in your heart, in your lungs... they don't stay little for very long." "Today, Halo coverage expands to North America and 15 other countries, but this isn't about a product launch." "This is about shaking the foundation of how we think about techno-technology." "Shit." "Inspiring speech." "Oh, Piron's stock just dropped 30 points, and you're the punching bag of every financial news channel on the planet." "I know." "You get one shot." "One shot." "Just imagine there's nobody out there." "Except the thousands that are." "Exactly." "And who the hell are they?" "Huh?" "They waited in line, they skipped work, they skipped school to see you." "You." "Something going on, kid?" "You know, it'd be nice if you said something that made me feel better rather than worse." "The message has been delivered." "Casualties?" "Unclear." "I'm uncomfortable passing cloak and dagger communication like this, this is not my job." "That is exactly your job." "Yeah?" "Carlos?" "I'm a little under the gun." "What do you want?" "I'm here to talk about Mr. Sadler." "Alec?" "What about him?" "He'd like to arrange for some additional police presence at this keynote." "He's feeling a little jittery." "You know, it wasn't long ago that Alec spoke for himself." "A lot's changed." "I'm just a cog in the machine now, Carlos." "I don't get to play chess master anymore." "Yeah, somehow I doubt that." "Additional manpower." "Can I count on you?" "If he wants security, he should hire some." "Things have changed." "The Piron initiative is being reviewed." "But you still like the money." "Excuse me?" "The... the money." "That uh... keeps being poured into this division." "You don't want it, anymore." "Don't turn this into something ugly, Kellog." "Hey, it's not my style." "If it helps, think of it as a personal favour." "He knows eliminating me would pave the way for his... your future to unfold." "That's his ultimate pursuit." "But I'm here." "Everything is still in play." "The moment that I came to your time line." "I, in effect, created your future." "That doesn't mean that other me still can't prevent it." "This is gettin' heavy." "If I had to speculate, that puts Piron/Sadtech in the driver's seat for decades and ushers in a new age of complete surveillance and control." "Piron's already re-built the anti-matter lab." "The other you is still researching pieces of the time device." "He's pretty far down the road." "But he doesn't have a complete one." "That's not exactly true." "I've been kinda helping him, helping him sort of." "Helping?" "How?" "Well, it... the missing slice just made his brain go wooo so we... we worked together and rigged up a kind of" "Frankenstein-looking thing and uh... well it should work, maybe." "It will work." "It will." "Paranoid Alec with a time travel device." "Not good." "Yeah, with Kellog standing right beside him." "We need a game plan." "And we need help." "That's where you come in." "We're closed." "That's not what the sign says." "Closed to you." "We don't want any trouble." "This better be really, really good." "Whatever this is, I am in!" "I could definitely work with this!" "Yeah, don't touch anything." "Who says I have to touch it?" "Don't be a disappointment, Protector." "Now what?" "You were right about me." "Even Sonya, from the first time I met her, knew what I know now." "I was asleep." "I've been fighting for the wrong side for a long time, and now I'm awake." "That doesn't mean I condone your tactics." "It doesn't mean we're going to be friends or allies, but it does mean that we want to change our future before it comes into being." "That is a fight I can get behind." "That is a fight worth sacrificing for." "And it's a legacy" "I want to leave for those who come after us." "Let's get to work." "You're 20 years old." "You started your first technology firm a little over a year ago." "Actually, I was dabbling before that in a barn." "A barn." "Mmmhmm." "And you worked in an electronics store less than a year ago." "Yeah, yeah." "That wasn't a good fit." "You see where I'm going with this?" "You inherited a privately held Fortune 500 company, one with a revolutionary partnership with the police department." "And that initiative has really paid off." "We got rid of a corrupt mayor, neutralized the threat from Liber8..." "Of course, Jack Dillon was instrumental in that, too." "We pray for his recovery." "The point is, you came out of nowhere." "And now, if hype holds true, tomorrow you'll become the next Steve Jobs." "Where the hell did you come from?" "Who is Alec Sadler, boy CEO?" "Well, for one thing," "I'm a guy who hopes that description doesn't stick." "I dream for a living, Diana." "Let's hope that dream comes true." "More with Alec Sadler on Firing Point..." "Well, what do you think?" "I find this deeply, deeply unsettling to watch." "How will we ever know if we succeed." "There's the beacon I brought with me." "What about it?" "The beacon sends a signal marking a point in time as a critical nexus point of change." "My orders were to plant the beacon so that steps could be taken to influence that moment in history and to prevent anyone else from doing the same." "What kind of steps?" "They never told me." "The point is, the only way for us to know if we changed history is for me to activate that beacon and have nothing happen." "You will have prevented your future, you will have prevented mine." "We all get to live out our lives." "We commit to this time, to this place." "We commit to this new history." "Tomorrow Alec launches Halo." "It changes everything moving forward." "We are only going to get the one shot." "We should go over it again." "We'll keep up our end." "You just worry about being there." "She's right, we'll run it again." "You're a good man, Carlos." "You always have been." "I don't get to choose sides, Kellog." "I serve the public trust." "And if that is what I'm doing here, then I better know you're on the same page." "I couldn't have said it better myself." "Yeah, well I'm still gonna need to hear you say it." "If it were up to me, Piron/Sadtech will support you and the VPD as you see fit." "Are your people up to that?" "Don't worry about us, Kellog." "We understand the gravity of the situation just fine." "Open it up." "Keep moving." "Stop here." "Show me." "I'm in." "Copy." "You're good to go." "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 chiropractor, your entire health and well-being team." "But who can afford specialized care?" "You can." "Meet Halo, your health and lifestyle oracle." "Real time medical monitoring and disease prevention is now within reach." "This is what peace of mind looks like." "Piron/Sadtech is very proud to introduce the visionary mind that brought Halo from fantasy to reality." "Alec Sadler!" "Once there was a boy that lived on a farm." "That boy had a dream that nobody believed in." "He wanted to make a difference." "Create a better tomorrow and serve the people faithfully." "I am that boy, and Halo is that dream." "Amazing." "Today, the whole world is your computer." "You simply need elegant access." "Halo is always with you." "It's always watching and listening to you, and the world around you." "Halo is not powered by a battery." "Here." "We." "Go." "You don't have to charge it." "Halo is powered by you." "Literally." "Halo is a lie." "A shackle designed to enslave anyone who wears it." "Take it off." "Get it down, now!" "Your most personal information is controlled by corporations." "Halo will Usher in a future where freedom is promised via technology." "The same technology will rob us all of that freedom." "They'll be able to control..." "I'm in position." "Sorry about that." "Once upon a time there was fire, and I'm pretty sure there was a caveman saying "bad idea"." "Henry Ford once said..." "Take him out of here!" "Move!" "Move!" "South balcony." "We've secured Sadler, East elevator." "Are you hit, sir?" "No, I don't think so." "What's the protocol?" "We get Mr. Sadler back to Piron, wait for further instruction from law enforcement." "What's that?" "You!" "Freeze!" "Put your hands in the air!" "Maya Hartwell, you're under arrest for the attempted murder of Alec Sadler." "Three of you?" "Really?" "We have a suspect in custody." "Alright, get cover between here and the vehicles." "If they try again, it'll be there." "Open these doors." "Shit." "Get EMT's down here now!" "Alec?" "!" "What's going on?" "Liber8, but I think we scared them off." "You should get checked by EMT's." "I agree." "No, I'm fine." "I just want to get out of here!" "Ok, you heard the man." "Get him out back to Piron and lock him up safe." "Thank you." "Just doing my job." "You're making a big mistake." "I could say the same thing to you." "What?" "Halo." "Travis is right." "Travis is right?" "Do you even hear yourself?" "You?" "Me." "All clear." "You wait here." "I'll have security sweep the office." "No, that's ok Jacqueline." "This is the safest part in the city right now." "Truth is, I could use some time to absorb it all." "Of course." "Of course." "I'm sorry for overreacting." "You must still be in shock." "Let me know if you need anything." "Alright, I'm in." "Good." "Plant the bug." "It's done." "I've got access and complete security override." "Shutting down external communications, area alarms and locks." "The clock's running." "Lucas, connect me to her." "What's up?" "I can't find the time travel device." "Keep looking." "Alec, if you can't find the device, destroy the anti-matter lab." "Start walking." "You're making a big mistake, Kiera." "You do this, and you never get back home to your future." "Your family." "You realize that." "I'm counting on it." "Alright, let's go, shithead." "I'll have your job." "You'll have my job?" "Tell you what, kid." "You can have it." "This is like kidnapping." "No, this is exactly kidnapping." "You think you can just switch me out and have nobody notice?" "You think anybody will believe what you and I know?" "I know you sent mercenaries to scare the other you and I know you turned a blind eye to what's right to get Halo out to the masses." "You got anything to say for yourself?" "Jacqueline." "It's called an RFID chip, like people put in pets." "Big countermeasure in Latin America." "Cuts down on costs for kidnapping and ransoms." "Does the trick, don't you think?" "Where's Brad?" "Uh, he said he had something to do." "I think they have Emily." "How is that possible?" "She was supposed to stay out of sight." "Hey." "Alec's gone." "What?" "Yeah, his security detail showed up," "I didn't have a choice." "He'll be headed back to Piron." "Where would I hide it?" "Gotcha!" "Back again?" "I'm really getting sick of your face." "Alec?" "Put this place on lock down." "Lucas?" "I need an exit, and quickly!" "You've woken up the castle." "I know that." "I want to get out of here." "I'll guide you through." "Lucas, how long do I have to wait here?" "Not long." "They're close." "Who's close?" "They're coming." "Tell them to hurry." "Give it back to me." "Not another step." "I'm warning you!" "You think I'm going to let you sabotage everything that we worked for?" "I never wanted any of this." "We both know that's a lie." "We both know our destiny." "You think I'm ever going to give up?" "You think I'll ever let you be with her?" "She'll die again before I let you both be happy." "And I'll make sure that you're there to see it happen." "Again." "And you can keep traveling through time again and again to try to save her and I'll keep making sure that she dies in your arms again and again." "This time line isn't big enough for the both of us." "I couldn't agree more." "Let's go." "Hold the lobby." "What about the police?" "They won't be coming." "So that whole" ""I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me" thing..." "I guess that's done, right?" "I've seen the future, Alec, and you're not in it." "You got this?" "Yeah." "I win, Alec, because I want it more." "Oh, shit." "Your future dies with me." "No, no." "No." "No, that's not true, Kiera." "What he said, there is no way to know." "You." "It's me." "It's me." "Even in that cage," "I knew you'd come back for me." "I chose you." "I chose you because I believe in a better future than mine." "One that I know you will build." "I'm so sorry!" "So what're you going to do with..." "I guess we've come full circle." "Hold out your arm." "Nobody will ever know." "We have to go." "You're not coming." "This is my company now." "It's time I did something good with my birthright." "Tell Emily I'm sorry." "I have to stay." "When you see her tell her I'll find her." "I know you'll do the right thing." "Alec?" "We dodged a close one." "They managed to slow us down, but we will win the day." "We've got work to do." "What happened with Alec?" "Legally, it's probably best if I don't tell you." "So that's how it's going to be?" "What do you mean?" "This relationship." "I'm commissioner Gordon and you're..." "Ooh, I know this one." "I thought." "Forget it." "Emily's in custody." "And so it begins." "I'll see what I can do." "Thank you." "What about Liber8?" "It's complicated." "I could work with this." "Garza?" "Is that what I think it is?" "They obviously didn't want anyone else to use it." "It's scrap now." "Good." "Let's get set up." "I thought I might find you here." "Alec Sadler is dead." "Your future can't happen." "Order has been restored." "God, I want to believe that." "And have faith that'll carry me for a while." "Eventually the doubt will creep in and I'll wonder if I did everything I could." "Don't you want to know?" "Of course." "But I don't need proof." "We aren't supposed to know, not for certain, and I think that's the point." "This will send a signal." "If nobody hears it, nothing happens." "And if someone does hear it?" "Then we failed." "And I think we both want to know that." "You did it." "No, we did it." "Two Alecs enter, one Alec leaves." "Congratulations." "Thanks." "I hope this doesn't derail anything for us." "Security, please come to the executive office immediately." "I'm afraid you'll have to go." "You don't think keeping me around for a while is maybe a good idea?" "I could cover for you, walk you through how the place works." "I'm not here to work the company." "I'm here to tear it down." "Security, please escort Mr. Kellog from the premises and recover all his security passes." "I haven't told him yet." "Haven't told me what?" "Please wait outside." "For the past few weeks I have been getting the other Alec to sign documents and to issue policy changes, well quite frankly, that remove him, now you, from the daily operation of this corporation, and put me in the big chair." "Jacqueline has been a tremendous help." "You see, your behaviour was starting to be a concern for those of us who want the company to succeed." "I mean, that's what everybody here wants." "I'm sorry you got caught up in the process." "I don't really have anything against you, per se." "Ok, now is good." "Give him a ride home." "There is a nice severance package, and we can chat later about maybe coming back to work for me, at a reduced level, of course." "Ok." "Bye." "I wonder what the future will hold." "Isn't it nice to wonder?" "Yeah." "It is." "It has begun." "Shit." "What do we do now?" "Run!"
