[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
It's really nice to
have someone who cares.
To get back down here,
I had to cross some powerful people.
[DART WHOOSHING] Ah!
Petra was worried that
they'd come after her.
They must be from the base.
I want to expand your mind
and guide you to the
memories you've lost.
I think I was stealing
some kind of microchip.
The military was
weaponizing time travel.
That microchip contains all
the code to make it possible.
The chip is the key to all of it.
You said you didn't know
why your program was interested in me.
What else have you been lying about?
I'm gonna tell him what's happening.
You're not going anywhere.
Where's Scott?
I tried to fight them off,
but they took him.
It was the people from the base.
We came up with a plan
to dismantle the
project from the inside.
Kevin, I'm your sister.
You're the only family
I have in this world.
We have to shut down the project,
and to do that, we have to go to 1965.
We need to get that
microchip back to 10,000 BC.
Eve's life depends on it.
♪
With this,
we're one step closer
to bringing Eve back.

[SIGHS]
Izzy said I might find you here.
It's funny.
In a few thousand years,
this is gonna be Eve's favorite spot.
It's called the Wisdom Tree.
She used to like to come up here
because it would help
her see things clearly.
[SCOFFS]
You know, I appreciate
you getting me this.
But now I need to figure out
what the hell to do with it.
Well, the plan was to trade it for Eve.
Yeah, it is.
I honestly don't know if we can trust
whoever's on the other
side of that computer.
No, we can't.
But it's all we have.
I'm so close to getting her back.
If I play this wrong, I lose everything.
♪
Look, it's likely
the person reaching out
is related to that program
that you were a part of.
Is there anything else
you can remember about it?
No. It's a bunch of
memories coming back,
but they're all to do with my sister.
♪
Hey, look, did you, uh, hear
anything back about Paara?
She should have returned
from her trip days ago.
I'm sorry.
You know, I fought so hard
to get back here to her.
Now I have a terrible feeling
it was all for nothing.
No. No, no, no.
Every step of this journey
has seemed impossible,
and somehow, we've always found a way.
[CHUCKLES]
All I know is I'm not gonna stop
until I get my family back.
And I don't think you will, either.
♪
You're right about that.
♪
[INDISTINCT CHATTER]
♪
Hey, Veronica.
Can I ask your advice about something?
Of course. What's up?
It's about Leyla.
She offered to take me on
an overnight stargazing trip.
And do you like Leyla?
Then that sounds amazing and romantic.
What's the problem?
There's so much going on right now
with the microchip and my mom
and and learning Josh is in 1965.
So you said no?
Yeah.
But I feel terrible.
You know, Leyla is the first person
I've felt this serious about,
and I'm worried I screwed things up.
Izzy, if you both like each other,
I'm sure you'll find the
right time to go stargazing.
[SOFT MUSIC]
What if there isn't a right time?
I mean, how do you and
Lucas make it work down here?
♪
We figure it out one day at a time.
That's all you can do.
So I say trust your instincts,
and the right moment will show itself.

This came in a few minutes ago.
Yeah. It's pretty convenient.
It's like they already know we have it.
Yeah, I agree.

Yes.

Okay.
That's good news, right?

Wait up.
What the hell are you doing out here?
I could ask the same thing,
except I know the answer.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
You're pissed about Scott.
But you can't storm that base alone.
Dude, I'm not storming some damn base.
Okay.
Well, what the hell
are you doing out here?
I just came out here to see my mom.
[SOMBER MUSIC]
Helps me think.
I'm sorry. I didn't realize. I'll go.
You're right about one thing.
I mean, I am pissed about Scott.
The guy's basically my best friend.
And and these people
just find them in the middle of a fire?
Right? They find Levi. They find Petra.
I mean, come on. It's almost
like somebody's feeding them
information, right?

You think it's someone at the Fort?

wouldn't be great for Veronica.

Gavin.
Hey.
Gavin, I thought we were
gonna talk this through.
You just left.
Yeah.
But it's my wife's life on the line,
so it's my call.
Hey, look, I get it, okay? I get it.
And if I were in your
shoes, if it were Petra,
I would do the same thing.
In fact, I came out here
to help you make the trade.
You got it all wrong.
I'm not out here to make a trade.
I'm here to destroy it.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Why would you do that?
Because too many people have
already been hurt for this.
And no one should have
this kind of power.
I'll have to find another
way to save Eve's life.
♪
I can't let you do that.

Maya, what are you doing?
I'm taking back what's mine.

You knew it was me
sending those messages.
You showed your hand,
running in the second the chat
ended, trying to convince me
to make the trade.
Then I realized all your help
how you triggered my memories
you were just using me
to get the microchip.
You are clever, playing on
our deepest fears about our families.

I don't know.
They separated us as

Yeah, we need to get out.
All of our friends, they're in danger.

What do you mean?
I mean, we found Petra's mom,
Maya Schmidt,
but she lied to us.
She's working with these people.
Did they ask you anything?
Yeah, just about a research paper
I wrote on a fossilized plant.
Do you think that if
you gave them something,
they may let you go?
I gave them everything I could,
which is absolutely nothing.
I was very high when I wrote that paper.
Scott, you have to think.
If there is anything, anything at all

You have no clue what
that woman is capable of.
Why don't you enlighten us?
Maya Schmidt is the head of
a private security company
called the Reisander Group.
The Air Force contracted
her to create fighter planes
with time travel capability.
You're telling me the
military is backing this?
No. It's black ops money.
Only a handful of people
are aware it exists.
And no one knows her real plan:
To sell the planes
to the highest bidder,
no questions asked.
We have to stop her.
We have to get to that base now.

Something needs to be
done about these abductions

After my brother and my father died,
I was lost.
But then I met you, and

So let's just skip the part
where you don't trust me.
Little hard to do when you're wearing
the bad guys' uniform.
Oh, and you've even got the
freaking tattoo. That's cute.
Not for the reasons you might think.
When my wife and daughter died,
I was struggling,
and that's when I found
out about Reisander,
that Maya had operations
throughout time,
including 10,000 BC.
That was my best shot to get
back down here and find James.
[SIGHS]
So that helicopter was
saving you, not capturing you.
- Yes.
- And they put you in that cell
to get information out of me.
Because they still believe that
I'm on their side, which I am not.
Now, my allegiance is to my friends,
and that includes you.
First, I wouldn't call us friends, okay?
All I know about you is that
you slept with Gavin's wife
and tried to kill his dad.
And if you truly are on our side,
why are you still here?
You should be at the Fort
where Gavin needs you.
Gavin is the reason that I'm still here.
Look, I don't have the time
to explain this all to you.
But you need to listen to
exactly what I have to say.
Now, Maya's on her way
right now to ask you
about that research paper.
What is the big deal with that?
Why is she so interested in it?
Apparently, it has something to do
with the fossilized plants you studied.
They're the key to making
her time travel tech work.
Now, did you show that
paper to anyone else?
- Why would I do that?
- [DOOR CLANKING]
All right. Follow my lead.
- [BEEPING]
- What?
[GRUNTING, COUGHING]
No more lies!
[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
Speed bumps, Captain Delgado?
No, ma'am.
Just as I suspected,
Mr. Israni here is claiming
that he didn't show the
paper to anyone else.
But I don't believe him.
Why not?
Because I've spent
enough time with this punk
to know that he's gonna run his
mouth off every chance he gets.
He can spend hours talking
weather to a stranger,
so God knows he couldn't stay quiet
about something like this.
Is that true, Scott?

Keep working on him.
Extracting this information
might take some time.

I think it'd be safer
if we moved him offsite,
perhaps the long-term detention center.
I wasn't aware you knew
about that facility.

Whatever happened between
us is water under the bridge.
Look, I don't remember everything, okay,
just just that I abandoned you.
What happened?

We both knew we were in
danger when we stole that chip.
So we came up with a pact
to escape the country.
[SOFT MUSIC]
[SCOFFS] I even found us this cute place
in Mexico that fit us all
you, me, Eve, the kids.
You were gonna introduce
them to me when we got there,
tell Eve the truth about our work.
But you changed your mind.
You backed out of Mexico
and let me take all the heat
for stealing that chip.
Look, I can't imagine
how how difficult
- that must have been for you.
