KIERA: Previously on Continuum...
KIERA: I brought you the wrong one.
KELLOG: 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.
JASON: It took decades for you to invent.
JASON: Maybe the 20-year-old you isn't quite capable
of grasping the entirety of it.
BRAD: I grew up in this beautiful city.
In less than 30 years,
everything 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 and I find you guilty.
(GUNS FIRING)
(DISTANT EXPLOSIONS)
Tonkin.
I got your message.
We've got a short window.
Access to the platform is limited.
Yeah, last recon team wiped out, I heard.
Those Abbotsford boys are hopped and screaming Jesus about it.
I'm going in with a live 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. (CHUCKLES)
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 cells,
stabilize the incursion site.
Salt the God-saved earth.
Yes, sir.
Traveler's lead lets us knock all the dominoes down.
He's 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 gold, Marcellus.
That's mighty large of you, Tonkin.
You know I still got three of mine alive, right?
Yeah, well, that's the only reason.
(CHUCKLES)
Well, this works,
maybe it all stops.
It never stops.
Same shit, it's just different.
Yeah.
All right,
I'll let the big man himself send you off.
Sir?
KIERA: I never knew I could want so little so much.
(SIGHS)
You know, this is the part where it all goes to hell, right?
(LAUGHS) How?
Oh, you get a couple weeks in,
compare histories,
things come out, cultural differences,
incompatible timelines.
I work for a half-mad warlord.
I worked for Big Brother.
(CHUCKLES)
(SOMBER INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
Sam.
(SIGHS)
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? (SOBS)
I didn't say it made sense.
(SNIFFLES)
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.
SCAR ALEC: I have been so careful.
Just a nibble here, a nibble there.
Mmm. Nibble.
I've routed through Turkey, the Cayman Islands,
and 17 anonymous proxy servers.
Just a slow, slow drip,
but just enough.
We have just enough.
Keep talking nerdy. (CHUCKLES)
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, uh...
"Make plans, destiny laughs"?
You mean God?
(SCOFFS) Well, time travel has put me off...
(GUNSHOTS)
MAN: Go, go, go!
Are you hit? (TIRES SQUEALING)
No, are you? No.
(COCKING GUN)
I think God heard you and he's 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
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 fec...
Techno... Technology.
Shit.
(SWITCH PULLED)
(SLOW CLAPPING)
KELLOG: 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.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
(SIGHS)
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 communiques like this.
This is not my job. (CHUCKLES)
It is exactly your job.
(LEAVES CRUNCHING)
(SIGHS)
(KNOCKS)
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 his keynote.
He's, uh... Feeling a little jittery.
You know, it wasn't that 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 you want security, you should hire some.
Things have changed. The Piron initiative's being reviewed.
But you still like the money.
Excuse me?
The... The money.
That, uh, that 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 favor.
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.
SCAR ALEC: The moment that I came to your timeline,
I, in effect, created your future.
That doesn't mean that other me still can't prevent it.
Mmm. 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 rebuilt 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.
Uh, that's not exactly true.
I've been kind of helping him. Helping him sort of.
Helping? How?
(STAMMERING)
The missing slice just made his brain go whoo!
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.
KIERA: We need a game plan.
And we need help.
That's where you come in.
(SIZZLING)
(COCKS GUN) We're closed.
That's not what the sign says.
Closed to you.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
We don't want any trouble.
(SCOFFS)
This better be really, really good.
(DOOR OPENING)
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
Whatever this is,
I am in!
INGRAM: Ha!
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.
It 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.
DIANA: 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? Mmm-hmm.
And you worked in an electronics store less than a year ago.
Yeah, yeah. That wasn't a good fit. (CHUCKLES)
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?
(SCOFFS) 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.
(LOADS GUN)
Well, what do you think?
I find this deeply, deeply unsettling to watch.
How will we ever know if we succeed?
There is 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.
Oh, we'll keep up our end.
You just worry about being there.
She's right.
We'll run it again.
(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
You're a good man, Carlos. You always have been.
(CARLOS CHUCKLES)
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.
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.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING)
(SCANNER BEEPING)
Open it up.
Keep moving.
Stop here. Show me.
JASMINE: I'm in. Copy.
You're good to go.
(CROWD CHEERING)
WOMAN: Peace of mind.
It comes from knowing that 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 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.
(ALL CHEERING)
ANNOUNCER: Piron/SadTech is very proud to introduce the visionary mind
that brought HALO from fantasy to reality.
Alec Sadler!
(APPLAUSE)
Once there was a boy who 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.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING AND CLAPPING)
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. (TYPING)
You never have to plug it in. Here we go.
You never have to charge it.
HALO is powered by you.
Literally. (ALARM SOUNDING)
(CROWD CLAMORING)
HALO is a lie.
A shackle designed to enslave anyone who wears it.
Take it off. Get it down now! Condemning us to a future
where our most personal information is controlled by corporations.
HALO will usher in a future where freedom is promised via technology.
But the same technology
will rob us all of that freedom.
They'll be able to control our... I'm in position.
(MIC FEEDBACK)
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... (GUNSHOTS)
(CROWD SCREAMING)
Take him out of here! Move! Move!
South balcony!
We've secured Sadler, east elevator.
Quick.
Are you hit, sir? No, no. I don't think so.
What's the protocol?
We get Mr. Sadler back to Piron,
wait for further instructions from law...
(ELEVATOR RATTLES) (GAS HISSING)
What's that?
What the...
(ALL COUGHING)
POLICE: 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?
POLICE: We have a suspect in custody.
All right, get cover between here and the vehicles.
If they try again, it'll be there.
Open these doors.
Shit.
Get EMTs down here now!
Alec? What's going on?
Liber8, but I think we scared them off.
You should get checked by EMTs. I agree.
No, I'm fine. I just wanna get out of here!
Okay. You heard the man.
Get him out back to Piron and lock him up safe.
Thank you.
Just doing my job.
(TIRES SQUEALING)
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?
(KNOCKING)
You?
Me.
All clear.
(SIGHS)
You wait here.
I'll have security sweep the offices.
No, no. That's okay, 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... Of course.
I'm sorry for overreacting.
You must still be in shock.
Let me know if you need anything. Yeah.
All right, I'm in.
Good.
Plant the bug.
All right, it's done.
I've got access and complete security override.
Shutting down external communications,
area alarms, and locks.
Clock's running.
Lucas, connect me to her.
(BEEPING)
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.
ALEC: 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.
All right, let's go, shithead.
I'll have your job.
(CHUCKLES) You'll have my job?
Tell you what, kid, you can have it.
This is like kidnapping.
(SCOFFS) 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?
Now, 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?
(TIRES SQUEALING)
Jacqueline.
It's called an RFID chip,
like people put in pets.
(BRAKES SCREECHING)
Big countermeasure in Latin America.
Cuts down on costs for kidnapping and ransom.
Does the trick, don't you think?
(GRUNTS)
Where's Brad?
Uh, he said he had something to do.
Uh, I... I think they have Emily.
How is that possible?
She was supposed to stay out of sight.
(CELL PHONE BUZZING)
Hey.
CARLOS: Alec's gone. (SIGHS) What?
Yeah, his security detail showed up. I didn't have a choice.
He'll be headed back to Piron.
(SIGHS)
Where would I hide it?
Gotcha.
Back again?
I'm really getting sick of your face.
Alec?
Put this place on lockdown.
Lucas?
I need an exit and quickly!
You've woken up the castle.
Yeah, I know that. How do I 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? (PANTING)
LUCAS: They're coming.
(PANTING) Well, tell them to hurry!
(DOOR OPENING)
Give it back to me.
Not another step. I'm warning you!
You think I'm gonna let you sabotage
everything that we've 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 gonna 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.
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
This timeline isn't big enough for the both of us.
I couldn't agree more.
(GROANS)
Let's go.
Hold the lobby.
What about the police?
They won't be coming.
(GROANING)
(GRUNTS)
So that whole "I don't mess with you, you don't mess with me" thing,
I guess that's done, right?
(WIND WHOOSHING)
(BREATHING HEAVILY)
I've seen the future, Alec. (PANTING)
And you're not in it.
(BOTH GRUNT)
(GROANS)
(STRAINING)
(JASMINE GRUNTS)
Ah!
You got this? Yeah.
(PANTING) I win, Alec.
Because I want it more!
(CHOKING)
Oh, shit.
(PANTING)
(COUGHS)
Your future dies with me.
No, no.
Oh, no.
No, it'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... I chose you.
(SOBS)
I chose you, because I believe...
In a better future than mine.
One that I know
you will build.
I'm sorry.
So what're you gonna do with...
I guess we've come full circle.
Hold out your arm.
Nobody will ever know.
TRAVIS: 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.
(EXHALES)
Alec?
We dodged a close one.
They managed to slow us down,
but we will win the day.
We've got work to do.
CARLOS: What happened with Alec?
Legally, it's probably best if I don't tell you.
So that's how it's gonna be?
What do you mean?
This relationship.
I'm Commissioner Gordon and you're...
Ooh, I know this one.
I thought...
Oh, 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.
INGRAM: I could work with this.
Garza?
That what I think it is?
TRAVIS: 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.
(SIGHS) Oh, 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 wanna 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.
Hmm.
(SNIFFS)
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 wanna know that.
(BEACON WHIRRING)
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, uh, put me in the... The big chair.
Jacqueline's been a tremendous help.
You see, your behavior was starting to be a concern
for those of us who want the company to succeed.
I mean, that's what everybody here wants.
Ah.
I'm sorry you got caught up in the process.
I don't really have anything against you, per Se.
Okay, now's 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.
Okay. (SIGHS)
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!
(GUN WHIRRING)
