The Witness took control of you.
I don't love you!
You did once. And that can't be erased.
Cassie, you would never let me die.

What are one's last words if they will never be?
I leave now, not with my own,
but those words that will exist beyond me.
"To be, or not to be... that is the question.
"Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
"the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
"or to take arms against a sea of trouble,
"and by opposing, end them.
"To die, to sleep... no more.
"And by sleep to say we end the heartache
"and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to.
[echoing] "To die, to sleep,
"perchance to dream.
[normal voice] "But that the dread
"of something after death...
"the undiscovered country... from whose bourn"...
[echoing] "No traveler returns."
"No traveler returns.
"In thy orisons, be all my sins remembered...
"Or erased."
Cole.
Jesus. Deacon, what?
It's Cassie.
What the hell's going on?
Nothing. A glitch in the system
caused by the damage to the Core.
Cassie...
Tell him.
What is this?
The tether... it disengaged itself from the system
and then reappeared...
some kind of glitch.
It's entirely unnecessary to maintain her tether.
All that matters is that she arrived.
Hey! Tell him what you did.
Clearly, Dr. Railly hasn't done anything yet.
There's still time to bring her back.
Where did Cassie go?
2020.
2020?
That's after the plague. Why would she go there?
Because there was another plague...
one that ravaged time itself...
a plague whose origins can be traced
back to one single moment.
No cult. No investigation needed.
The true catalyst for the destruction of mankind
is standing before your eyes.
I sent Cassie back to Spearhead in 2020
with the explicit instruction to end my life
and so destroy the creation of time travel.
And undo everything.
Jones, this isn't the way.
The answer, Mr. Cole, has been in front of us the entire time.
We were on a quest to stop the Messengers from collapsing time,
but it was this...
it was this that allowed them to do it.
We fear the Witness, yet my attempt to rewrite history
resulted in the destruction of time itself.
You don't get to decide it's over
just because you've given up hope.
We've exhausted hope, James.
No, Cole, we have to stop this.
[snaps fingers] Lasky...
when exactly did you send her back to?
I sent Cassie back to the day I should have died,
the day I lost my Hannah.
This will predate our mission together.
Everything will be erased.
I'm sorry, James...
but there's nothing you can do.
Start it up.

Stop there! Who are you?
My name is Dr. Cassandra Railly.
I'm with the CDC.
CDC's dead.
I'm not.
Send a message to your commander.
He'll know who I am.
All clear. No pathogens.
Dr. Cassandra Railly of the CDC.
Where's your identification?
I lost it.
I hit a few rough patches on my way up from Baltimore.
Baltimore?
On foot?
Tell me, Ms. Railly, how did you avoid
the West Seven Quarantine Zone?
I went around it.
Nobody goes around the West Seven Quarantine Zone.
Have you been tested for immunity to the Kalavirus?
Yes.
Prints match. It's her.
Who are those people?
We call 'em scavs...
roaming survivors.
There's limits to the amount of civilians we can take in.
This way, please.
[indistinct conversation]
Lieutenant.
I have to say, it'll be a big morale boost
for our teams to actually meet you, Dr. Railly.
The containment protocols you pioneered
have been very helpful, along with a few of our own.
See, 75% of our population has been diagnosed
at risk of infection,
and I intend to keep those numbers safe and sound,
which is I'm very curious about what happened at the CDC.
See, the last we heard, after the broadcasts stopped,
rioters had taken over the building,
so, naturally, we assumed the worst.
I escaped with a few others.
I'm the only one who made it this far.
I apologize for the third degree.
It's just, we've had some trouble lately.
Some of our men encountered a very organized pack
of marauders... nomads, all women.
We think they're responsible for bringing in
this recent outbreak.
- Outbreak? - Yeah.
Another dozen infected.
We lost two officers this morning.
But the rest are isolated, so we have it under control.
Lieutenant, I have a colleague I believe is here.
I'd like to speak with her...
Katarina Jones.
Oh. Sorry, Dr. Railly.
I'm afraid your timing couldn't be any worse.
[monitor beeping]
[alarm beeping on the monitor]
Virologists are a vanishing and highly valuable commodity.
Hence some of the measures we've had to implement.
- What measures? - [monitor beeping rapidly]
Measures necessary for the security of our medical personnel.
[flatline]
You've stopped treating the sick?
These aren't all my decisions,
but we've lost some great minds while trying to save the lives
of those who never stood a chance.
Excuse me, Lieutenant.
Jones's daughter has passed.
Excuse me.
I'm glad you're here, Dr. Railly.
She'll need a friend later.

No. We went through all this before.
I came up through Baltimore.
Baltimore? On foot? Tell me, Ms. Railly...
How did I avoid the West Seven Quarantine Zone?
"Zone..." That's right... it's 2020.
Deacon hasn't turned it to shit yet.
And who are you?
Morris. Morrison.
Look, we went through all this yesterday.
You spoke to somebody else yesterday, not me.
Have you been tested for immunity to the Kalavirus?
Prints match. It's her.
His came back inconclusive.
They got a match, but to an 11-year-old boy in Philly
named James Cole.
- What is this? - Step inside, please.
No. No, we just want to speak with Katarina Jones.
Jones is with her daughter. Her daughter's sick...
Kalavirus.
Jones is alive. I told you.
Oh, my God!

Nothing.

So welcome to 2020.
That number usually represents perfect vision,
but it looks like you two aren't seeing too clearly.
Heard you were a busy girl.
Voices say you blew poor old Jonesy away,
and then they say you didn't.
You know I was here before?
Feels like a déjà vu, right?
A repeat? Welcome to my world!
Wait, wait. What is happening here?
Well, I'm in a reboot.
- What's a reboot? - Same day, different shit.
The day reset itself?
I hear gunshots and screams... "The German lady's dead!"
Then you all over again.
That's not how time travel works.
- Oh, look who's an expert now. - Wait a minute. Wait.
Before we forced Jones to send me here,
she said there was a problem with your tether.
You're saying the moment she shot Jones, time reset itself?
- [imitating whooshing] - You two, come with me.
Got to go. [door buzzes]
Yeah.
I'll be here. [laughs]
See you soon!
They're, like, my best friends.
I have to say, it would have been a big morale boost here
for our teams to have met you
had you actually been Dr. Cassandra Railly.
You do look like her.
It was his false ID that tipped us off.
We dug a little deeper.
It turns out Dr. Railly was confirmed dead at the CDC
by our own personnel...

Well, it's cold out there every day.

Look, if you want to save Hannah, I need your help.
Save her how?
I looked at her chart.
Her temperature's been fluctuating... 107 to 105.
- Yes, but, she has... - I went through Foster's data.
The Kalavirus's key symptom is an uninterrupted increase
in body temperature.
Nothing, not even medicine, can stop the increase or suspend it.
We need to figure out why she's the exception.
- What's her temperature? - Still 107.
If it gets any higher, she'll be at risk for brain damage.

Sensitivity to light...
What are you getting?
- An antibiotic. - This is viral. Antibiotics...
Light sensitivity is a symptom of other infections.
Haemophilus influenzae, for example,
causes bacterial meningitis.
Bacterial? Not the virus?
Mm-mm. We need to get this fever down.
Here. What's her temperature now?

Maybe that includes saving Hannah.
We need to ride the day out here,
see if the machine brings us back.
We tried it your way.

What do you think Jennifer really meant?
She said...
time knows Jones invented time travel,
and it needs her to do it.
Did she also tell you that time has a long, white beard
and a list of commandments... "thou shall not splinter
and kill the creator of time travel"?
I remember this one time.
Ramse and I were kids.
We bumped into this group of guys coming out of a gun store.
They were much older than us.
There was five of them...
just armloads of guns.
They had these green boxes of ammo at their feet,
and they saw two of us out in the open,
broad daylight,
and they just lit us up.
And we thought we were dead.
Not a single bullet hit us.
We thought it was some kind of miracle.
Now, there's two ways to look at that story.
The way I like to look at it...
it wasn't our day to die.
God or time or whatever...
didn't want us to die.
Thinking like that helped us through some hard times...
believing that there's something out there
helping you out.
What's the other way to look at it?
Remington makes blanks,
and they come in a green box.
[laughs]
The longest version of the day was my first.
If it's gonna reset, it'll happen soon.
You know, I don't blame Jones for asking you to do this.
