Continuum s04e01 Episode Script

My name is Kiera Cameron, and I came here from the year 2077.
Evolution is on our schedule.
The war begins now.
Emily, it's okay.
I love you, too.
Emily! I have to accept the truth that I may never get back to him.
That doesn't mean I have to stop trying.
That's all I've ever wanted.
To put the pieces back together and return to my family.
I'm sorry, Kiera.
Alec, I can go home! I know.
But I have to save her.
No, Alec! Emily, I traveled through time for you.
You.
I choose you.
So, I guess we're not gonna be pals then, huh? I don't see how.
There are two Alec Sadlers.
He made the time device work.
He traveled back to change things and created another timeline.
This one.
That's what created the ultimate future that this guy comes from.
Travelers lead, let's knock all the dominos down.
When things get too hairy, I want you to use this.
All right, let's let the big man himself send you off.
Sir.
You want to cheat death, Kellog? Help me, and I'll teach you how.
I'm just a cog in the machine now, Carlos.
I don't get to play chess master anymore.
Somehow, I doubt that.
That was yesterday.
She is a heartbreaker.
You're under arrest for the attempted murder of Alec: Sadler.
This timeline isn't big enough for the both of us.
I couldn't agree more.
I have been getting the other Alec to sign documents that remove him and put me in the big chair.
This will send a signal.
If nobody hears it, nothing happens.
And if someone does hear it? Then we've failed.
Mr.
Sadler's dropping all charges.
Right.
All yours.
You did it.
Thank you so much, Carlos.
We really appreciate it.
Good.
You can reciprocate by getting Piron to support my department's requests now that it's finally in the hands of a sane person.
All right, what happened? Kellog happened.
He tricked other me into turning over control of the company to him.
I've been kicked out.
Why am I not surprised? I wonder what the future will hold.
Isn't it nice to wonder? Yeah, it is.
What do we do now? Run! What are you doing? You keep going, I'll try to slow them down.
What? They're my people, they're not gonna hurt me.
I'll contact you as soon as it's safe.
Yeah, you better.
Oh, shit! VVhoa, hey, hey, hey! Tonkin, out of my way! - Hey, guys.
- Weaver, take point.
Rollins, flank while Vasquez provides cover! - Zorin, status? - I've got our six.
Track has gone, I've lost the signal.
Target is back.
Ten seconds, I've got inbound police.
Close the net.
Oh, shit.
Officer Cameron.
Where am I? You're in CPS Med Bay 9.
What's the day? September 25th.
The year? Have Officer Cameron's family notified she's awake.
Family? You've been asleep for three years.
Welcome back, Kiera.
I don't remember being brought in.
I don't remember anything.
You were admitted with dozens who were injured in the execution chamber explosion.
The terrorist attack? Liber8? it doesn't matter.
We initiated a controlled coma so that we could operate and spare you some of the recovery discomfort, but for some reason we couldn't wake you up.
We knew it was just a matter of time before you came back to us.
Is there something you want to tell me? I had these vivid experiences, as real as anything.
More than a dream.
I can remember all of it.
I understand.
It makes perfect sense.
You see, your CMR was designed to activate a realistic simulation program when brain trauma has been detected.
Mom? Sam? Oh.
Oh.
Oh, I missed you so much.
I missed you, too.
You have some catching up to do.
I'll be right outside.
Look at you.
Look at you.
I can't believe it's you.
I'm scared to touch you.
I can't believe you're back.
I'm so sorry I left, I didn't want to, I didn't mean to.
It's not your fault.
I missed you.
I missed you every day.
I should have been there for you and I wasn't.
It's okay.
Everything's okay.
It's not okay.
It's not okay.
Look at you.
This emotional stress is becoming a concern.
What are you doing here? I'm here to calm you down.
Kiera, I'm so pleased to see you back.
You've done an excellentjob.
You've changed the past.
You saved the future.
Mom? Sam? Sam! Kiera? Kiera? Kiera, are you okay? Kiera! Sam! Sam! Are you okay? It's Alec.
Sam! It's Carlos and Alec.
Come on.
No, no, no.
Sam.
He was just, he was just here.
You're fine, you're safe, you're alive.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
Kiera, you were hallucinating.
My CMR goes into simulation mode in the event of head trauma.
Okay, come on.
I'm okay, I'm okay.
We've got it from here, thanks.
What the hell happened? I don't know.
What did happen? All I know is patrol came across some heavily armed perps.
They snuck their way out of the area and they escaped.
We're trying to get a location on them, but we're a little short on details.
Okay.
Get her out of here, take her someplace safe.
Yeah, sure thing.
I want you in my office first thing tomorrow.
Marcellus? Tonkin.
You look surprised to see me.
I didn't expect to see you pulling this duty.
After you left, things got worse.
We moved everything up.
Hey, Rollins, Nolan.
You know Vasquez.
Weaver, and Zorin.
What happened with your aim? What do you mean? Your mission was locate timers and neutralize them.
Things got complicated.
I saw you with her, Brad.
Cameron.
She's on the target list.
What were you doing with her? Nice place.
Whose is it? It's mine, apparently.
Right.
The other me, dead me, grabbed the brass ring with both hands.
Paid in cash.
Alec? We need to talk.
Okay.
I came to a realization.
What's that? I accomplished my mission.
Stopped Liber8, prevented whatever future they might have built, and I made sure you will never build the broken future that I came from.
That was the reason for sending me back, wasn't it? Apparently.
It's time for me to focus on myself.
What I want.
What exactly are you talking about, Kiera? Longing- Desire.
It caught me a little by surprise.
I want to go home, Alec.
And I need you to send me.
What are you schemers scheming? Revenge.
Payback Uh, she doesn't know.
What don't I know? After you left me at Piron, Kellog played his ace card.
I got the boot and he's taken control.
I'm trying to get my company back.
Alec has a plan to make Kellog pay.
And make it hurt.
It's the hurting part that concerns me.
How's that coming? Mmm.
We've hit a few road blocks.
It's nothing I can't handle.
What about our conversation last night? That's exactly what I'm doing.
How do you figure? In order to get you Where you need to go, I need very specialized technology.
The one person who currently possesses that very rare technology to get you back to your future is Kellog.
Kellog.
Mr.
Kellog? Curtis Chen's here for you.
Thank you, Jacqueline.
You're doing well.
It's not by accident.
What can I do for you, Curtis? It's what I can do for you, Kellog.
Is this about my future? It always is.
Okay, look.
Before you spellbind rne with some hokey temporal religious nonsense, let me cut to the chase.
Right now I don't really see the advantage of aligning myself with you and your friend.
I'm not saying it's not a possibility, eventually, I just need to get the lay of the land first, you know? Before I make any important decisions.
How will you know? Uh, excuse me? If they're important, the decisions.
See, that's where I come in.
I can let you know in advance which decisions are key to protecting your future and which decisions are not.
Think of the traveler as a road map.
Hmm.
A map to this grim future where I'm some warlord leading an army.
Not the future.
Right now.
Your foot soldiers are here in this time.
I can help you use them, push their actions.
Push the timeline in the right direction.
The right way.
I'm still gonna think about it.
That's your prerogative, of oourse.
But one way or another, your destiny will catch up with you.
And bring you back to me.
To us.
Then I have something to look forward to.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got some business to attend to.
Of course.
Interesting night.
Uh, yeah.
You could say that.
Between the power outage and the street warfare, I'm guessing more Liber8 activity.
I'm worried it's a new faction.
Based on what? Solid Intel.
Provided by Kiera Cameron? There's CCTV security footage of her with members of Liber8.
Working with them.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, Kiera's managed to infiltrate Liber8.
She's gathering Intel that should lead to some high-profile arrests.
That's quite the promise.
More of a hopeful prediction.
I want results.
Not predictions.
Copy that.
Oh, did you hear about Dillon? What? Doctors cleared him.
He'll be out any day.
I can go back to being a detective.
I wouldn't throw away that sport coat just yet.
Word on the street is he's done with the force.
Jesus Christ.
I never took you for a religious man.
Do you realize the position that you put me in? I promise, this is the last time you'll ever have to cover for me.
What are you talking about? Nothing.
I just want to protect you and the department in any way that I can.
I've caused enough damage.
Literally and figuratively.
Are you okay? Yes.
Okay.
So why don't you tell me what happened last night? Brad wanted to see if we had prevented Kellog's dark future.
Unfortunately, proof that we failed showed up in the form of six heavily-armored soldiers.
And where are they now? I don't know.
And Brad? I haven't seen him since last night.
I'm hoping that he might be working them from the inside.
Might be? I'm worried.
All right, we gotta figure out where these soldiers are and what they're planning.
Target Kellog.
They're connected to him and whatever he's cooking up in that twisted mind of his.
Kellog, as in my new overlord? Same guy.
Well, it's not gonna be as easy as it sounds.
Kellog has consolidated a lot of power and money, and his influence in this department shouldn't be underestimated.
Piron still holds the purse strings around here.
I'm sure you can find a way around that.
Well, I'm still a cop, Kiera.
I've got to follow the rules.
But you could get me something concrete that I can arrest Kellog on and we could share the load.
Partner.
Okay.
I will work on nailing his ass, but it might be fun to shake the tree first.
And what did you have in mind? So, which one are you? The good one.
I think you'd both say that.
I'm the only one.
Then how good are you? How much do you know? Sadler told me a little bit.
Brought some other things together.
Your future, mine.
Who are those guys? Political activist friends.
They look serious.
Yeah, they are serious.
About making change.
Outsmart your enemy.
Don't make yourself a target.
Embed, disrupt from the inside.
This is serendipitous.
That's what I came to talk to you about.
I'm listening.
Do you still have your employee access card to Piron? They haven't fired me yet Yet.
That's good.
Maybe that change that you're talking about, maybe we can make it together.
Laying low? The protector might be our friend for the moment, but she still works for a system that wants to bring us down, Lucas.
We have to start thinking about survival and disappearing.
You have an update? Yeah, but, uh, you're not gonna like it.
It seems like all that effort we put into switching Alec Sadler's at the HALO launch event was for nothing.
Kellog's pulled a fast one and arranged to have the kid removed from his company.
He's holding all the cards now.
Kellog controlling Piron.
That can't be good for us.
I'll tell Travis.
There's more.
There's some kind of a temporal event connected to Kellog's future.
What's the protector doing about it? It's unclear.
Why is that? Kiera's protecting Brad.
They're his people.
Then we can't trust her.
Are you sure you thought this through? Completely.
So, finally I say to the guy, "if I can't land a helicopter on it, what's the point of buying it?" Excuse me, ma'am, this is a private party.
Invited guests only.
Oh, it never gets old.
Um, excuse me.
This won't take a minute.
Carlos! What a surprise, I don't remember your name on the guest list.
Yours, however, is always on the guest list.
I'm flattered.
I'm here on business, Kellog.
Oh.
Why don't you tell us what happened with Alec? - Which one are you referring to? - Don't be a dick.
What are you up to? Business.
Just like Carlos.
All right, look.
From where I was standing, the other Alec was a problem.
He was a shithead, to be frank.
You knew it, I knew it.
I just took care of the situation in my own creative way.
Fine.
Then give the Piron keys back to the Alec who isn't a problem.
Pdloveto, but the board doesn't know what we know and it might be a hard sell to them with the whole time travel doubles thing, you know.
Paradoxically speaking.
Why don't you tell us about these soldiers from Brad's future? I'm sorry, your future.
Sorry, come again? In English, please? Power suits, heavy weapons, warlord Kellog future scenario? Brad spelled it out for us.
Well, maybe he's the one you should be talking to.
Your boyfriend.
Perhaps you should start your investigation there.
Let's go, Kiera.
Oh, yeah! In your face, Kellog.
Excuse me, please.
Yeah, yeah.
Right.
Okay.
Shut it down.
It's an outside DNS attack, our entire network shut down.
Well, get it back up.
Everything alright, Matthew? You know it's not, you're obviously behind it.
We have nothing to do with whatevefls going on right now.
Is somebody mad at you, Kellog? Whoeverjust hacked into this company is breaking the law, Carlos.
Why don't you do your job? You know what? You're right.
I'm sorry.
I'll get to the bottom of this.
In fact, I know the perfect guy that can help us track down the perpetrators of this heinous act.
And he's a whiz with computers.
What just happened? I have no idea.
Kellog is up to something and I have a feeling those soldiers are just the tip of the iceberg.
Yeah, no doubt about that.
Look, if Brad is embedded with these guys, and I'm not judging, I'm just saying, if you have questions, maybe you should press him for answers.
It's gotta be Kellog.
Put him on speaker.
Alec Sadler.
Is Julian there? He is, and you're on speakerphone.
You're fired, Julian.
You can't fire me, I already quit.
However you like.
Alec, I know you're behind this hack.
Fix it.
Right now.
Or I take this to Defcon 1.
You already did that when you stole my company.
Okay.
Are you ready to play big league hardball with me, kid? Bring it.
And CMR is connected.
Just like old times.
You miss the barn? Every day.
Alec, before we get to work, I need to know what you did to Kellog.
Nothing too harsh.
Alec, what did you do? I sort of locked him out of his own system and then downloaded and erased all the data and control software for Piron's equipment.
You're asking for trouble.
Actually, I'm trying to send you home.
What do you mean? All of Piron's anti-matter time travel research is in the data that I stole.
I thought we could use the time to figure out a way to exploit the company's tech and eventually send you home.
Thank you.
That's inspired.
Kellog's going to be so focused getting his business back up and running he won't even have time to realize what we're really up to.
Good.
While you're working on that, I'd also like you to help me find Brad and the soldiers.
I thought you were staying out of it.
It's just for my own peace of mind.
If he's in tight with them, I'll back off.
But if he's in trouble I understand.
Can you do it? Maybe.
Their gear is probably operating on some advanced tech, odd wavelength stuff.
I could do a sweep of the spectrum, see if there's any areas with unique energy signatures.
It won't give you an exact address, but I can narrow it down to a few city blocks.
You could go down there using your super suit as a kind of antenna.
I could give you a specific building.
All right, good enough.
Let's get started.
You're breaking down the power suits, cannibalizing the core components.
Something like that.
What exactly are you building? This mission is a need-to-know basis, and you don't need to know.
Nolan? Give it time.
Marcellus has a lot on his plate and you What about me? You can't see what we can.
All right, take a left.
Try the end of the block.
How long is this gonna take? Depends on how fast you go.
I take it back.
I don't miss this.
Your CMR says you're lying.
Great.
Shit.
Are you following me? No.
It's a total coincidence.
What are you doing, Kiera? Boyfriend issues? Something like that.
Kellog's soldiers are a problem for all of us.
You don't get to call the shots.
Give me a head start.
I'll clear Brad from the area and you can roll in, back me up and do your thing.
Whoa, the signal just spiked.
You're getting close.
Alec says we're close.
Are you gonna help rne out or am I gonna shut this whole thing down right now? Got it.
It's the building to your left, Kiera.
This is it.
Hey, head start, remember? I changed my mind.
Listen to me, I have seen these men in action.
You need to have the upper hand, and right now you don't.
I can play nice.
You got 10 minutes.
Perfect.
Are you seriously gonna let Garza try anything? No.
Get Carlos on speed dial.
I want him ready to roll.
No matter what.
Gotcha.
Why take the chance? It's not that simple.
We served together.
You don't win wars with sentimentality, Marcellus.
No, you don't.
You win them with recon and support.
Tonkin arranged this place, our supplies, and our comm.
He's delivered.
It's my call.
We'll see how it plays out.
That is definitely not from now.
I'm recording all this, Kiera.
You ever see anything like that in your time? No, that's a new one.
It's like Time Travel Team Six.
We have 11 days max before the core degrades.
If we're gonna have a fight we're gonna need more medical supplies.
Crew is on edge.
It's their problem, not yours.
Marcellus, I don't know half of these guys.
You know we can't do this without you.
Looks like he's convinced them he's one of them.
It'll be nice having someone on the inside feeding us info.
Mmm-hmm.
Whoa, whoa, what is that? It's cool.
Can you grab me that? It looks like a pen.
Watch her, Kiera.
What's she doing? Get her out of there.
Get her out of there.
Kiera, Brad is safe.
You need to leave.
Got her! Nice shot.
Blow me.
Watch our backs, there could be more of them.
Alec, get me out of here.
Now! Alec, I'm burned.
I need a way out, now! Okay, hang on, just give me a second! Now you're out.
I know who you are.
That makes two of us.
What are you doing here? I could ask you the same thing.
You're not in a position to be asking any questions.
I'm a police officer, and that man is a suspect in an investigation that I'm conducting.
Now, I don't know what you think you're doing here, but I do know that you're involved with Matthew Kellog, and so do the police.
I'm calling Carlos.
Don't! What do you mean, don't? Don't trust him.
You might consider Kellog an ally, but he's only interested in one thing.
Kellog.
This is a waste of our time.
Toss her.
Marcellus, she could be useful.
Useful? What'd he tell you? Nothing.
He tried to kill me, and he failed.
Apparently not.
Let's go after them! Stand down! We pack up and we move.
Agreed.
This place will be crawling with cops in no time.
That was close.
Too close! Have you seen Emily? Not for a while.
Get out! Now! All right, keep me posted.
Yeah.
All right.
So SWAT cleared the building, there's no sign of our new friends.
Surprise, surprise.
What is it? I just feel like we've been down this road before.
It's Liber8 all over again.
Well, this time we know they're working for Kellog and we've got a man on the inside.
Well, if that's the case, why don't we have anybody in custody yet? Maybe Brad will reach out.
We can't count on "maybe.
" You know, ever since you got knocked out there's been I don't know, something different.
Sorry.
I've been preoccupied.
Thoughts of 2077.
Home.
Sam.
Of course.
I need to believe that path still exists for me.
That I'll be able to see him again.
Well, I support you going home.
I'm not happy about it, but I support you.
To going home.
To going home.
You're late.
I had to be careful.
You said this was about Kellog and his new friends.
That's the only reason I'm here.
So make it quick.
I don't think any of us can afford to let Kellog become more powerful.
More insulated, build and control an army that shapes history his way.
What are you saying? I'm saying what's good for you and Liber8 is most likely what's bad for Kellog.
You want us to take out Kellog? To do your dirty work? No.
No, I think you've got plenty of good reasons to kill Kellog.
I just don't think you can afford to waste any more time.
Goodnight, Jasmine.
This package was delivered for you.
I've cleared it for security.
Thank you, Jacqueline.
Hiya, pal.
