Continuum s03e12 Episode Script

Previously on Continuum Kiera! We can still fight for what we believe in! I don't know what that is anymore.
My name is Brad Tonkin.
And I know why I came back.
I volunteered.
Agent Warren signed the bodies out yesterday.
The bodies are gone.
_ Cover him.
It's disgusting.
For what it's worth, I don't agree with this.
You're going to want to take it slow.
Nooooo! I'm Catherine.
The cell keeper.
I can't imagine what you've been through.
No you can't.
How long? Months.
What's the last thing I remember pain.
Death.
How? The technology inside him brought you back.
You were merged.
Is that not a violation? I need to talk with him.
Not today.
You must decide if you're going to serve.
He already knows that outcome.
Perhaps.
But I need to hear it from you.
And you, brother? I serve here now.
You lie it'll be more of the same.
You've known I've had it all along.
Why brought on the Gitmo now? Loose ends.
I made a promise to Kiera.
I'm a loose end yet I get to live? Wow.
Well in that case, how about a few plants in my cage, maybe a Daft Punk poster? You done? How many numbers in a GPS address, asshole? We can discuss your living arrangements later.
You hear how she does that? She says living, I hear burial.
Thank you.
Take him back to his cell.
Not good enough.
Guess that Daft Punk poster's out of the question now.
How much longer does this favour to Cameron last? We'll see.
It's not what you think.
Garza told me the band split up.
You okay? Apparently we failed.
We've accelerated the very future that we wanted to stop.
Corporations are getting stronger, moving out of the reach of legal and governmental oversight and Sadler has a pretty little bracelet that everybody wants.
Well I would never wear that thing.
Came with more warnings than a weight loss prescription and people still wanted it.
HALO'S the beginning of it all, Julian.
Corporate control over every aspect of every person's life.
Now, you can help me stop it, without bloodshed.
And, screw Alec over a little as a bonus.
Bring me everything you can on HALO.
How is he? Who? He's the one you told me about, isn't he? The original freelancer who travelled back 1,000 years to start your cult? What do you need? Alec Sadler.
I brought you the wrong one.
We've both devoted ourselves to putting things right in this time line.
But the Alec that's out there has pressed fast-forward.
Technological advances unfolding decades before they should.
You want to create a better future Kiera, I understand.
But we're not here to render judgment.
The true time line is what we're protecting.
Is that what he tells you? The greatest challenge we face in this work is keeping our personal agendas from intruding into what needs to be done.
The Alec out there is dangerous.
His path is dark.
And what do you suggest? Let me trade them and I'll bring you somebody I know that you want.
Liber8? Better.
A soldier from the alternate future Alec created.
You give me Alec Sadler, Brad Tonkin is yours.
It's evidence.
It's my property, I want it back.
Until the case is heard it stays there.
Great, so Jason the perpetrator is out but my property is not and you're unable to change it.
You can see how this doesn't add up.
What can I say? There are rules.
I am asking for a favour.
Your kingdom to mine.
Let me see what I can do.
Just get it done Jack.
Make sure you read these.
I think you're going to like the direction things are going.
We're talking exponential growth in linkbacks on Twitter and the usual suspects.
Gizmodo.
CNet are rapturous.
Rolling Stone is promising a cover and Reddit wants you for an AMA.
Julien.
Thanks.
Servers at Piron? I also thought these might come in handy.
So what's next? I'll figure it out.
Okay.
In the meantime I can You can go home.
What's the point? You want me to just sit here and watch while my brother takes over the world? Now you need to leave.
No, no no no no.
I don't touch that shit.
Are you selling those? I'll pay more than list.
Beat it.
One more job Lucas.
You should consider trying to draw less attention to yourself.
Where's the fun in that? Let's make this quick.
You sure it's happening today? My intel's top shelf.
They'll do the heavy lifting and you can piggyback.
There you go.
What's your endgame Curtis? Believe it or not, he wants you to get what's coming to you.
That doesn't exactly make me feel better.
Come on, help me out.
Why are you taking this kind of risk? He saved me.
He showed me all you need to know is Catherine isn't his disciple.
She's his jailer.
A great day is coming.
Inspector Dillon, sir.
Until the case is closed The case is closed.
Sir.
What is it Cameron? Liber8.
There's been a sighting.
Travis Verta.
And? We missed him.
What is that? You said they'd blown apart.
We need to press our advantage.
I'm on it.
It's the time device.
He's written code based on liquid chip tech that shouldn't be available so it's more vulnerable.
It creates a rudimentary connection with the brain that grows stronger the longer you wear the bracelet.
Now these blueprints? The specs on the mainframe that Julian brought? If we can get to it, it should be easy enough to download a virus.
I don't want people to get hurt.
How about we scare the shit out of them? You're green.
Connecting.
We use HALO to hijack the amygdala.
Flood the system with fear.
The health monitor becomes a health hazard.
Will it be enough? Oh my god! Oh my god!!! You still want to wear that thing? Carlos.
Dillon has the time travel device in his office.
He assembled it.
The freelancers will be here any minute.
And this is on me because? There's something I have to do.
Wish me luck.
Good luck, for whatever it's worth.
Inspector? We should talk.
I'm on my way to Piron.
I'll join you.
If that's okay.
Suit yourself.
Really? I don't want any casualties.
Yeah, sure.
Let's go get your boy.
Let's.
So, big Board meeting? Something like that.
I imagine that the perks at Piron are probably better than policing.
You think that's why I got into police work? The perks? I know that's not why.
But I've seen you change.
I've seen others change around you.
So I'm dragging down a bunch of good men and women because I want to drive a Lexus, is that it? The signal stopped.
But it was here.
So much for the back way.
That's a change we didn't discuss.
I thought about it.
It's simpler.
I pretend I'm bringing you in.
Oh, you're going to bring me in? Oh you think you're so tough.
Oh now you know I love it when you play rough but are those really necessary? Now you're my prisoner.
Don't overdo it.
Do you even understand the concept of disguise? All us terrorists look the same.
Yours looks good though.
You think Kagame imagined this when he walked in that building and blew himself up? Liber8 blown apart? What chance is there for any real change when anyone can go back and tweak events in their favour? Everyone believes in a do-over.
You just press reset and start again.
But it'll never last.
There's a place up north.
Remote, people minding their own business.
Do you really think that's us? Only one way to find out.
We'll always be hunted.
I'm afraid.
We can drive north.
Figure it out together.
I'll meet you at Lana Lou's.
We'll talk tonight.
Everything we've seen in the past two years is the new face of warfare.
The internet attacks.
Bio-weapons.
People in power using the rich versus poor divide to push their own agendas.
You call that warfare? Don't you? No.
The haves versus have-nots isn't news.
It is when 85 people in the world are richer than 3 billion.
You're the one cozying up to the 85.
Using them.
Yes.
Mhm.
What? Police have always solicited the support of the rich and powerful.
Yeah well I hate to break it to you Inspector but we work for the city and all of its citizens.
Carlos, come on.
Kissing some corporate ass is what it takes to keep this city safe.
And the HALO smart bracelet.
You think that's perfectly safe? It's collecting information.
Information that you want to use to track down criminals before they commit crimes.
I need help.
I need better surveillance.
Some of the shit that's gone down in this city? What weapons have I got? Whatever.
Yeah whatever.
You're going to keep busting my balls on this, aren't you? You better believe it.
Good.
Let me just drop this off to Alec, then we can go take a look at the lab.
I'll show you some of this new crowd control technology.
It's the safest thing I've ever seen.
Alright.
You're the welcoming committee? I thought this was a big deal.
What the hell? I told you.
I want Alec Sadler.
They're here.
All is secure.
Where are the others? We're backing out of here.
No, we're not.
Yeah.
Shit.
Go! Go! Ma'a as-salama Rescuing Alec is what this time needs.
Maybe.
But I believe in Plan Bs.
Way to communicate.
It's like we're married.
How do you like it? Oh.
Had to change my lifting routine when it found a heart murmur.
So hate it, but love it, you know? Oh I hear that.
But whatever you're doing, it's working.
Say, do you maybe want to grab a coffee? I can meet downstairs in like five minutes.
Yeah.
Sure.
I'll get you A quadruple Americano.
Quadruple Americano.
That's the one! I was wrong.
But we have to move.
Just get me out of here and then you can go to hell.
You coming in? No.
I'm not.
I'll get a ride back to the precinct.
I believed in you.
Yeah, you're not the only one.
You know what this means.
I know.
Sonya.
Sonya.
Julian.
I need to leave.
Is there a bomb I should know about? Not the kind that you think.
Sonya what's been going on with you? I've told you that you're important and that you'll do great things but you don't seem to believe me.
That's because most of what you say is psychotic.
Put it together.
Different messengers, same message.
Kagame, Travis, Lucas, Garza, me! Look we just need to get you out of here.
We're time travelers.
And not just us.
Kiera and Jason too.
And we all know you as Theseus.
Jason called me a murderer.
We call you a leader.
You are Theseus if you decide to be.
I've seen it in you.
I've seen it in your writings.
You are the revolutionary that will resist Alec Sadler.
By killing people? Maybe.
Maybe not.
There have been so many changes in this time line.
Maybe you will find a peaceful way to lead this revolution but either way, please.
Lead it.
How many do I kill? Thousands.
It moves past being a monitor to an on board doctor.
Stimulates serotonin when you're blue.
Opens up the cortisol floodgates when you're stressed.
What about pacification? Massive flood of endorphins into the system.
Instead of a riot, you have a 100 people riding a relaxation wave.
No harm, no violence.
People just have to want to wear it.
Did you bring what I asked? Well, hello.
I came in to tell you but actually you might like this better.
Number 14.
It's Sonya Valentine.
What's up, Will? Sonya.
Don't move.
Put your hands up! Take the shot! I got this! Lower your weapons.
Put them down! Do it.
Do it.
Put your hands behind your head.
Don't move.
Give me the cuffs.
I got this.
She's surrendering.
Detective Fonnegra.
Yes.
I got it wrong.
I had to figure out which Alec the future needed.
You had been erratic.
That day I ran into the two of you at Piron he was bleeding and you seemed crazy.
That's not what you thought when I told you about Sonmanto.
Derek Richardson's trip to Dubai? That was the other Alec.
I was trying to get away.
Trying to leave town but then you called for help.
You always call for help and I always answer.
You dragged me here and you left me for dead.
Did you see those cages? Did you notice that they were empty? Who do you think was next, Kiera? Me! You're not innocent.
You have jerked my chain in every time line I've been in, ripped me away from my family, dumped me here alone to tell you how to change.
And then you took away my chance to get back.
And destroyed worlds, Alec.
You.
That was you.
I thought you were getting me out of here.
I thought you were a woman of your word.
Betrayal is her nature.
Did you really think I would leave without him? You brought him here.
Don't.
Move.
You can't go.
There's an order to all of this.
And we can't know it.
I only thought we could.
If you could just meet the traveller.
Let's go.
Whatever it is you believe Catherine, I don't.
Alec has created a new product.
He calls it HALO.
He dug the CMR out of dead me to make it work.
He's so far ahead where we should be it's scary.
You can let me out here or take me where I'm going.
You might want to secure the attitude kid.
She just saved your ass.
Who are you anyhow? Different time line.
Different future.
So nobody in this car is from now.
I need your phone.
I am sorry, Alec.
Sorry? You really have no idea how inadequate that is, do you? Yeah, well he killed other me and we're managing.
Why stop at just one? I felt guilty about the first one.
What's your future like? There's no SadTech.
Good.
Kellogg's in charge.
It's tribal.
Half a dozen different factions.
All the tools to destroy life; nothing to sustain it.
Not even the will.
Maybe John's future starts now because it's the other Alec and not you.
It's Carlos.
He says he's worried about Dillon and wants you back at the precinct.
I have to go.
I'll drop you off.
I need money for the bus.
Where are you going? Up north.
I can get him there.
Kiera can meet us later.
We can talk.
Do what you want, but north is where I'm going.
UGH!!!!! We caught Sonya coming out of Piron.
She tried to sabotage the Halo mainframe.
I'm assuming it didn't work.
No, we were on her too fast.
You know I had her.
She practically surrendered and Dillon was ready to shoot her in the street.
You heard? It's a coup! Join me.
Big day.
Feels that way.
Can't win for losing, as you pointed out.
There's no rescue mission this time, Miss Valentine.
You know that was the end of us? A day that should have felt like such a victory.
You beat us.
You beat yourselves.
I suppose.
There's an opportunity for you here, you know.
You tell us where to find the others and you have my word it will go easier for you.
They're gone, company man.
And even if I did know where to find them, do you honestly believe I'd sell my own people out so easily, just because you did? You can go.
Fight or flight, Protector.
They're both bad choices.
You don't believe that.
I believed an idea was greater than love.
Cameron.
Don't wait till it's too late.
You'll figure it out.
Are you prepared for this? Yeah, yeah.
Nora took my statement, other cops too.
Dillon is very powerful, Carlos.
This could come back on you.
Yeah, well let it.
Can't watch what he's doing and let it pass.
We've been known to outsource the incarceration of terrorists.
We just don't have the facilities here.
CSIS, FBI, Canadian and US Military.
It seems like everybody wants a piece of you.
Right now you're all mine.
I imagine that must be quite the thrill for you.
What can I say.
I like to accomplish my goals.
Catch the big bad terrorist? Check.
Stop her would-be sabotage.
Check.
Help me find the others.
You can be more comfortable than you deserve.
You're still selling that line when there's no one left in the room but me? How about you? I found the other Alec.
And it wasn't exactly a friendly reunion.
Maybe I'll get my own chance to make things right.
What did you think you were going to accomplish with this sabotage? People will wake up.
People like their gadgets.
Your entire rebellion is pointless.
Not if it inspires someone to resist what you're doing.
What I am doing is making the world a safer place.
What's to resist? You're like every general that's ever tasted power.
You want more.
And you will destroy what is human in us to get it.
I'm afraid in this case you overestimate me.
No I think I see you very clearly.
You're low-hanging fruit and Alec Sadler has plucked you off the vine to chew you up and spit you out.
How long till you spoil completely? That's no prison-transfer detail.
You're in no position to judge.
I'm in the best position.
I find you guilty.
Are you okay? What a goddamn mess.
What do we do about Nora? Have her bury this? Go off with some sort of dignity? I don't know.
I've gotta go.
I have to find Alec, figure out which Kiera It was still in his briefcase.
I'm building walls when you bring me down The silence breaks my heart to lead Just take another sip from the bottle Makes you feel you're braver than me Icy words that cut when they're swallowed Shed any more tears for your thoughts of dying It's just another fear that we'll never make it You gotta kiss of death I need to beak it They had a backup plan.
In case the first rendezvous didn't work out.
Kids playing like a couple of professionals.
Whereas the two professionals We made it this far.
Why did you kill me? It wasn't personal.
My mission was to kill him.
And you walked in.
Collateral damage.
Chen told me who you are.
What you were.
Guess I thought I was killing an enemy soldier.
Is Alec safe? He's your family.
He's my family.
Not the family I was trying to get back to.
I know.
The strange thing? Aside from all of it, is that if you hadn't shot me I never would have found you.
Kiera Cameron.
You are the key.
It's just another fear In this place so dark.
Your dark places.
He's so forgiving.
He loves you.
Good luck.
Enjoy this place.
You too.
Wherever it is that you're going.
I don't want to know.
I don't believe anything that I do will make a difference in the way that you want.
Not in the way I once wanted.
I understand, I get it.
But what about for now when it's needed? Sometimes people make assumptions under basic hypotheses that are wrong.
You thought that I was the problem.
I thought that I was the problem.
But it was me.
Problem.
Solution.
Who knows.
Be careful, Alec.
You too.
Viewers tipped a million last night, Mr.
Sadler.
You picked up your tilt-rotor yet? You hear about Sonya? Dead.
I heard.
Down a Board member too.
Too soon.
Sorry.
You were fond of him, I know.
Now would you like to see this picture? I went old school with this, for the privacy.
That was yesterday.
Seems the woman has changed her mind.
She is a heartbreaker.
