Previously on Continuum...
We're building a portal.
They escape our time, they come here.
My sister?
Just waiting to come through.
He's dying. Kidney failure. It's treatable.
If he gets a transplant.
This better be life or death.
We need to work together.
Do you have that tech you stole from us?
If I don't recover that, Zorin is never gonna trust me!
I need that key!
Sure looks like he's back on that playbook.
You really want to gamble that he's not gonna flip again?
You want a confession from me because I'm the villain.
I'm a bad man.
But then it's not all I am, is it?
I'm a special kind of bad man.
A freak.
When people find out about me,
they find out about all the other freaks, as well.
Nobody will believe him if he says he comes from the future.
Yeah, but he has no past.
It doesn't matter if they don't believe him.
We're associated and suddenly I'm suspect.
You want to tell the truth
about your background? Go ahead.
All that's gonna get you is a life sentence in the psych ward.
So if that's really where you want to end up...
You still enjoy the semblance of a free press.
Some enterprising reporter will dig around and
find out she's as intriguing and mysterious as I am.
All right, Inspector, this is a mess and you know it.
The use of these restraints is a human rights violation
and my client has been held for days without charges.
Carlos can delay this. We just need a few more days.
No, he's stuck.
He has to lay charges soon or this is an unlawful detention.
It'll compromise the case against Travis.
We have to go. Kellog's expecting us.
Lay the charge. Release the restraints.
We still have plenty of time to press charges.
I'm not breaking any federal laws with those restraints.
Except you are a municipal police force.
Not a security arm with the federal government.
Care enough to deal with me now, Inspector?
You want to kill your lawyer? Go ahead, I'll sell tickets.
Is that all you got?
You're gonna wish you had let me out when you had a chance.
If you really cared about protecting Cameron...
Sending you forward in time isn't the most impossible aspect of this.
What are you talking about?
Well, you have two free radicals who are essential to this plan.
And free radicals tend to do whatever the hell they want.
Kellog is motivated.
He needs us to take down those soldiers before they take him down.
And we trust Kellog to act according to plan?
And Brad makes Kellog look like a Boy Scout.
You're gonna have to find a way to get him on board somehow.
And these guys don't want anything.
Is that all you got?
You're gonna wish you had let me out when you had a chance.
Not very cooperative, is he?
Well, he's never going to admit to anything.
We both know I can't hold him any longer
without charges.
Piron doesn't want him in front of a judge.
Piron doesn't have
jurisdiction.
Did you see the medical report
after they initially brought him in?
Unusual physiology
and evidence of experimental
self-healing nanotechnology.
Well, that sounds like science fiction.
Sounds like Piron.
They've requested... No. They've demanded
that we hand Travis over to them.
If this whole Liber8 thing turns out to be
some kind of Piron project gone awry,
some kind of cover-up,
there'll be hell to pay.
Some enterprising reporter will dig around and
find out she's as intriguing and mysterious as I am.
No more delays.
I don't care who she is, I don't care what she's done,
I want Liber8 put away and I want to know what Piron wants with Travis.
You hear me?
So I'm interested in the military technology first and foremost.
I'm sure that's a relief to you, Kiera.
Alec assures me that there's very little chance
I'll be able to travel forward in time, so...
That's unfortunate.
But if anybody could do it...
We have a way to enter their stronghold
with no casualties and no gunfire.
We don't want anyone to get hurt.
Care to share how?
After you let us use your lab at Piron.
I need to make some adjustments to the time ball.
We need it in order to jam their defenses.
Yeah, once I let you in, what assurance do I have
you're gonna deliver on your promise?
You'll just have to trust us.
And leave us alone while we're working.
Yeah, I can do that.
Joining me in the dragon's den?
Just visiting.
Like you. I'm not visiting. I'm a resident.
There's work here I believe in.
You took a hit. You took it to heart.
You have other choices. We all do.
In the fairy tales I've read, the hero enters the cave to slay the dragon.
Not to join him.
It's good to see you.
You got family coming through?
My kid sister and her boyfriend. If they're still alive.
What about your mom?
She's afraid she'll be blown apart.
That the technology doesn't work. It's like dying.
You never get a report back from the other side.
That beacon proved otherwise.
Oh, also need-to-know?
It's a mission, Tonkin. You know how it is.
When I left, my sister was dead
and now Zorin says she's on the manifest.
Zorin didn't make the manifest.
Marcellus? Marcellus took care of you.
If they're on that manifest, it means they're alive.
And here we are.
I can set you up with some lab assistants...
Don't need 'em. Kiera will help.
Hmm.
She's driving this mission.
But it's flawed, isn't it?
She wants to go home even though home probably isn't there.
Does she understand that?
There's a chance.
A chance? Kid, this isn't Vegas.
Are you really gonna roll the dice with her life?
How is this gonna work, Kellog?
That's an excellent question.
Okay.
So, the soldiers asked me to provide Piron security after your unscheduled visit.
Those men are loyal to me,
and they'll turn on Zorin and his team on my command.
Okay. Sounds feasible.
So, with my help, you and Alec get inside the building
and, along with my security, you neutralize the soldiers.
Alec does his magic and, abracadabra, Kiera disappears.
Once you've left us, I destroy the machine
and stop the invasion before it begins.
Then what?
What do you mean?
What happens with you?
Well, I don't think that's any of your concern anymore, Kiera.
You made your choice.
You chose you.
You think I'm being selfish?
You're calling Brad, aren't you?
I think it's time we invite him to the party.
I think I trust him less than Kellog.
Well, we need them both.
I know.
I'll be back.
I believe you.
And I want your help.
What did you have in mind?
Alec says that, with your technology,
he has the ability to send me home.
And if he can do it for me, he could do it for you, too.
We found something together because we both lost so much.
But now there's a chance to get it back.
The ability to see our families again.
Even if I could, what if I was too late? I can't do that again.
I can't...
I can't lose them again.
I know. But there's not much time,
and if you don't want to, I understand.
But I really hope you want to help.
We need access to the machine, just once.
It doesn't have to be dangerous for anybody.
If I did choose to go back,
I wouldn't compromise this mission.
I understand.
So I'm going to give you back the key you requested,
as a sign of my good faith.
Alec really thinks he can do this?
He says "impossible" to me as often as he says "probable".
But you're willing?
For a chance to see my son?
It's possible he may not even be there.
You're really killing the moment.
I just want you to find what you're looking for.
Then help me.
So, we're pressing charges tomorrow,
but I have a feeling that Piron will try to intercept.
So if there's anything you might want to say to help your case,
now would be the time to do it.
My inner system will say what it wants.
It doesn't matter to me.
It'll take us both down.
Hell, it doesn't matter to Kiera, either.
She's going home.
Forward in time?
Mmm-hmm.
She just woke up and now she wants to go back to sleep?
You should take me to court now, Inspector.
I'll make sure she stays.
Well...
Well, I don't blame her for wanting to go see her kid.
Oh, she's still walking out on you.
It's not like that.
I'm not gonna hide who I am, Fonnegra.
Neither would you.
The truth of me reveals the truth of her.
It's a hell of a view, huh?
I always liked it.
What can I do for you, sir?
I'm here to take Travis back to Piron for processing.
Don't be so surprised.
You and I both know that our friend in lockup
pushes the limits of biology in a way that begs investigation.
Kellog knows more than he's willing to tell me.
I can live with that,
but I wanted to give you a chance to tell me what you know
and how this connects to Kiera.
Kiera, Kellog, and Liber8,
they were sent back in time from the future to change history.
Okay, that's a good one.
You understand why I had to ask?
Are you okay?
I was looking for a way to be relevant.
After I realized my body was going to be a liability,
my pride did not allow me to deal with the truth.
Until now.
It's a recording I found that's going to help you
lay charges in the Escher murder.
We're in this together.
Sure, you get me to kill Escher for you...
But we're in this together.
You do this, and you're free of me.
Escher used to say that, too.
Once you pull the trigger, it'll finally be true.
You can get Kellog on conspiracy to commit murder.
All you have to do is offer Emily a deal to testify against him.
Let's bury this son of a bitch.
Are you sure about this?
You tell your partner I'm walking out of the cave.
With all her mysteries and missteps,
she's always trying to do the right thing.
It's time I did the same.
So, I will be back to deal with this Travis thing.
I hope I can count on you.
I'm reprogramming it.
The way the time ball uses the soldier's
power source is new, but
the brakes and the steering wheel are all the same.
Except not really.
Well, you only get to use the brakes once.
In the future, my future, if I ever get back,
there are no guarantees.
Sam may not be there.
He may not even be.
I thought you were optimistic about Brad helping us.
He asked me the questions I'm afraid to ask myself.
Well, you can always stay here.
Thanks.
Don't stop now.
Where's my key, Tonkin?
She has agreed to return it.
In exchange for what?
Doesn't matter.
What she wants, no one can give her.
Mmm-hmm.
Why does Kellog want to come here, to this time?
He said it was a turning point.
A time when choices could still be made and have an impact.
I don't think there's any right choice.
You'll feel differently
when you see your sister and nephews come through that portal.
I want to see them, I really do.
But I would give everything I have to go back to 2035.
Yeah, we all have our dates,
outcomes we'd like to change. But this...
ls a one-way flight.
How can you be sure?
Commander spent years trying to build forward travel.
He could see the writing on the wall.
He knew that time travel would be the weapon that leveled everything.
Never cracked it.
He told you this?
I have my date, too.
2032.
Two children, a wife.
That's it.
Finished.
I think I deserve a drink.
Oh, if that's true, we all do.
Come on, Tonkin. Join us.
Will it work?
That's the question I'm afraid to ask myself.
How's it all going?
Come on, I thought we're on the same team.
You didn't think that for an instant.
People change all the time,
and there's no time like the present.
Unless my timing is all wrong.
We're done. I need to take the device somewhere safe.
I've done my part. How do we proceed?
I'll tell you when you need to know.
You know, there was a time when that attitude would have thrilled me.
But I got too much at stake now.
With this? Some thing you stole?
You know how improbable this has been?
Our survival.
What makes you think my life is any less precious to me than yours is to you?
Uh, Kiera?
What? Oh, shit.
I take it this isn't part of the plan.
No.
Matthew Kellog, you're under arrest...
Carlos?
For conspiracy in the murder of Escher...
Carlos. AKA Marc Sadler.
You have the right to retain and instruct council without delay.
This is a big misunderstanding.
Carlos, what are you doing?
If you do not have a lawyer, we can refer one to you.
Was this you? No, it was not.
Anything you say can be used as evidence in court.
Carlos, this can wait. I need him now!
No. This is murder.
This is happening right here and now.
Yeah, but the thing is we sort of need his help.
Do you understand?
Do you wish to speak to a lawyer?
Call Jacqueline right away.
I'll take care of it.
Ma'am, please step back.
You're going to regret this, Carlos.
I can promise you that.
I've waited a long time to do that.
If you would just listen to me...
Save it, Kiera. I serve the public good, not private concerns.
You should know that by now.
Oh good, you're still here.
I probably got half an hour or so down here.
Um, you... You could try to recruit me to that organization of yours.
- Um... - Liber8?
I'll call you back.
What evidence?
An audio recording of Kellog ordering the hit on Escher.
Did Dillon bring it to you?
So, it's selfish if I want to wait,
but it's not selfish if you're trying to save Dillon.
That's not what this is about.
Then I guess it has nothing to do with me leaving, either.
Carlos, I know you see this as a suicide mission.
I do.
But that is my choice to make.
Great. I'm not stopping you.
That's exactly what you're doing.
No. Kiera, we're partners.
We're supposed to have each other's back.
I didn't even know you wanted to leave
until circumstances forced you to tell me.
Until I could be sure. Also, my choice.
Yeah, well, your choices?
They have an impact on the people in your life.
You need to take responsibility, not just for yourself.
I have honored my responsibility to others.
This department, this city.
Dillon, you, Alec.
I have done right by all of you.
Yes, yes, you have done that.
But you've also done whatever the hell you wanted to
when it suits you.
This is different.
You hear yourself, right?
You want me to release Kellog.
You know what he's done, you know what he's capable of,
and yet you still want him free.
Listen, I'm...
I'm sorry about Sonya, by the way.
And Lucas.
Is Garza still alive?
It's hard to believe you were once one of us.
What are you talking about?
I'm the embodiment of what Liber8 was fighting for.
Choice.
Self-determination.
Freedom.
Who better represents those virtues than me?
It's what you do with those virtues.
Sonya.
Lucas.
Jowarski. Kagame.
They built a legacy.
Tens of thousands more who won't suffer and die
because we changed that future.
What about you?
What will they say about Travis Verta at the end?
Hmm.
"He killed like no other."
"He terrorized with the best of them."
He'll be out on bail in 24 hours and all of this will be for nothing.
Oh, I wouldn't bet on it.
Is Kellog the only one you're arresting?
Oh, right on cue. Special interest number two.
Are you going to arrest Emily?
If I knew where she was.
Now, I could compel you to give me her location
or you could just be a good citizen.
Carlos, he doesn't know. I don't.
And you can't trust Kellog to tell the truth about her involvement.
I have evidence.
Kellog blackmailed her.
My father did, too.
Well, then we'll have to find that out.
Oh, yeah, justice. That always gets to the truth.
Justice, you know, even if that's only a concept,
that's all that I've got.
And it works great for those who can afford to buy it.
Well, isn't that what you're trying to do? Huh?
You know, I've tried to protect you and Kiera along the way,
but Kellog had your father murdered.
Okay? I don't get to look the other way.
Not for Kiera, not for Kellog, and not for Travis.
What about Travis?
They'll say, "Travis Verta",
"he was the key."
"The key to unlocking the secrets of a genuine superman."
"The future warrior. The super-soldier."
I'll be the one keeping your legacy alive
as I patent and replicate every nanoparticle from 2077
inside that bio-engineered hulk you call a body.
Piron doctors want to cut him open like a guinea pig,
see what makes him so special.
She can't go home now, you realize that.
Yeah, well, I'm sorry. Okay?
I don't get to make exceptions.
That's how the system falls apart.
We can still try to.
We can't get in without Kellog and you know it.
It's Brad. Brad, where are you?
Okay, I'll be right there.
Maybe he can help. I gotta go.
You're just another CEO in a long line of delusional corporate emperors.
And if it's one thing history has taught us, it's this,
empires eventually crumble.
Oh, don't worry.
In my future, that won't happen.
Kiera? I'm here.
Brad's here.
No, he's meeting me at the park.
No, he's right here.
They're coming for Kellog.
Alec, listen to me.
Tell Carlos and get the hell out of there.
Brad's here. I don't think it's a friendly visit.
Check the cameras.
He's blacked them out. Some device.
Get out of here.
You just missed Kiera. Yeah.
What I'd really like is to bail out Kellog.
Yeah, I've been getting that offer a lot lately.
Remember that scene downtown a couple weeks ago,
torn up buildings and strange fires?
Yeah. I also remember the people that got hurt.
So, neither of us want that again.
Is that a threat?
Drop it. Put your hands up.
Well, that'll be my rescue team.
Henderson, is that you?
Brad's here. Carlos has a gun on him.
I'm gonna check it out and see what...
Oh, my God.
Alec, I have three dead cops down here.
They're after Kellog.
What the hell is Brad doing?
Carlos just arrested him. I think he'd be downstairs if that's all he wanted.
I think he's here for the key.
We didn't come here to kill anyone, Carlos. But if we're attacked...
Shots fired!
Release Kellog, please. Go, go! Get out now!
I can't get out! Put it down. Right now!
Hurry up! Go, 90!
Kiera?
Alec?
Shit.
What did you do?
Cuff him.
Chris, Kevin, Randy. Come with me.
Shit.
Alec!
Alec?
Clear.
Keep moving.
Don't move! Identify yourself!
Do it slowly.
Withdraw!
- Let's go, let's go! - He's out!
You really think you're worth it?
Somebody does.
Go!
Grenade! Move!
Oh, finally.
Thank you.
Come on, protector.
Yeah, come on, protector.
He's close.
First hallway on the right. All right.
Watch my back. I'll get Kellog.
Make sure he doesn't take any fire
or Zorin will have our heads.
You don't need to remind me.
Damn.
Vasquez, it's empty.
Almost.
Nolan!
Target is no longer tracked. I repeat, we are blind.
Come on, let's go.
Fall back. We can't get to them this way.
All right. Go back up.
Alec, give me the key and we'll go away.
Kiera can take her shot, Alec.
But our mission has to come first.
Where is it? Where's what?
Where is it, Alec? I don't know!
I'm sorry, kid.
Come on, Alec! Where is it?
Don't make me break your arm, Alec!
It's nothing personal, but I've got a deadline.
I'm glad to see you're making better choices.
You don't know how much I hate doing your dirty work.
You get me out of this, and I swear...
Save your words, Kellog. I swear to you,
- I will do whatever I can to get you... - Cameron!
Move.
Let him go!
Don't let me go.
You have no idea how important he is.
Go!
Thank you, protector.
We need to hold this area. Any word on reinforcements?
We're completely cut off.
All radio and cell comms are down in the area.
Where's Alec?
Where are we holding Brad? Brad escaped.
We haven't found Alec. What?
I got a bad feeling about this.
Let him go, Brad.
Give me Kellog. It serves you, too.
It turns out I'm more of a cop than I realized.
What the hell is that?
The fail-safe.
Move.
Watch that corner.
Fall back!
Get him outta there!
Fall back! Fall back!
Give me Kellog and all this stops.
You could have killed me.
You could have killed Alec, and yet you keep choosing not to.
It's not what I want, Kiera.
It never has been.
Then why?
That machine is a portal to my future.
I have family there. They're alive.
You know how that feels.
Grenade! Fall back!
Just give him Kellog. There's too many dead now.
And give everyone his future?
Your friends are dying down there, Kiera.
You can stop this.
Make the right choice.
I can call them off.
Okay, deal!
Kellog for Alec.
Stand down, Vasquez.
Kiera, please don't.
I'm just a walking kidney transplant for my future self.
I have no choice. You know that.
You just keep playing along.
I'll come for you.
You'll let me into that building,
the plan moves ahead.
I promise.
Rollins, you've got 20 seconds to get to the roof
or I leave without you.
I got one more thing to do.
You can still go home.
After the invasion.
It won't matter. You won't be here.
All this time,
and you still have no idea who I am.
Travis... What are you doing?
Get out of here.
Vasquez. Go.
Go, go, go, go!
Everyone, get out!
Time's up.
This place is a write-off.
Like my dream of going home.
You can't give up now.
We don't have Brad.
Well, apparently we never did.
We have a new man on the inside.
Mmm. Kellog.
Yeah, the one and only. For now.
Are you trying to get rid of me?
Definitely am.
Did we lose Travis?
Yeah.
Yeah, he helped save a lot of lives, including mine.
He had a chance to walk. He didn't.
You know, Nora's going to have a lot of questions.
I'm not sure we have the answers for her.
I'll take the heat.
Alec, give us a sec, would you?
Yeah, sure thing.
What the hell happened to Kellog?
I had to let him go.
God damn it, Kiera. I had no choice.
Brad was holding Alec at gunpoint.
You wanted Kellog in the wind.
At least that was the play earlier today.
What I said, about wanting to see Sam,
nothing has ever been truer for me.
But every one of us
getting what we want when we want it?
I know it doesn't work that way.
I don't want to lose you.
And sometimes, I don't want to go, either.
Well, with the way things are playing out,
we may be stuck with each other for good.
Can't you just give up this fantasy, okay?
Come back to reality, as hard as that may be?
Whatever your plan was, Brad blew it apart when he blew this place up.
Okay? I'm going to destroy the asshole
that did this to me and my people,
so you tell me where he is right now.
