Previously on Continuum...
Who killed me?
I'm the one that risked everything to come back for you.
He doesn't know
and I'm leaving that decision up to you, okay.
You're in control.
The dead man tells me I'm going to get some answers.
Curtis is of the opinion I'm wasting my time with you.
Okay I'll keep working on the CMR playback
of your murder remotely.
Don't worry, Kiera, we'll find your killer.
I inherited Piron.
The heart is a feeble instrument.
Easily fooled.
You haven't met that part of yourself yet.
The part that will do anything to survive.
It's him.
When did I become such a dick?
I needed to protect you and I thought...
Everyone is trying to protect me,
but you scratch that protection
and it's self-interest underneath.
Alec, I trust you.
The other one betrayed me.
Why are you here?
Emily.
I choose you.
[coughing and gagging]
Patient Alpha Bravo 327.
Code 6 termination.
Inform next of kin.
Tariq? Help me.
It's okay, Kiera.
Here.
Neural spray is useless.
And you know it.
Barely numbs the pain.
They're close on an antidote.
False hope isn't relief.
Kiera.
You... you... you can help me.
You just have to be brave.
I know what you're asking?
I can't.
Don't.
The remedy is on its way.
You tell my family I had no other choice.
You hear me?
I had no other choice.
It's here.
Kiera! It's here.
Don't lie to me.
I swear.
The cure is here.
Look.
(Crying)
Help me.

It's like watching pixels dry.
This is the holy beyond and all of does not compute.
Okay well what's the basic problem?
Well besides the damaged stream, let's see,
we have software interpolating noise at signal, signal is gag.
Two identical seam-wares stacked on top of each other
so the program thinks it's impossible, which it is.
The analytical programs keep throwing up.
I'm looking over my shoulder every day
for someone who might want to kill me twice.
If I could go any faster I...
I mean really why wouldn't I?
I'm sorry.
You're right.
I'm the time traveling grim reaper.
Everything I touch turns to death.
Emily's alive.
Yeah, for now.
What if time self-corrects?
I mean, not to get all Rod Sterling over here.
But what if all I've done was just throw a few more people
into the gears while playing God?
You know I have to leave, Kiera.
You know me.
It's... it's the only option.
Where will you go?
I don't know, it doesn't matter.
I just, I don't want to become that Alec.
I don't want to be like him in 2077.
I can't keep hurting people.
It's...
good to know.
You know, sometimes you look at me
and I get this horror movie chill.
I'll make sure everything keeps running
and I'll have it upload directly to your CMR once it's finished.
Thanks.
(Knock at door)
It's like listening to 16 channels at once.
Well maybe he's not as important as you think.
He is important.
His revelation...
Was a miss.
He knew nothing about Cameron joining us
so how much of a revelation was it?
How useful is he?
Until we understand what's inside him
he's not going anywhere.
From the moment you arrived we both knew
the task you'd been set.
I've been patient.
Hopeful that the path would reveal itself.
It hasn't.
Yet the continuum must be preserved.
You know firsthand the consequences
of an unstable timeline.
You have to choose now.
I need more time.
Just... just a little more time.
You're bargaining Kiera.
The damage to the timeline can ripple out slowly.
But we must act before that ripple becomes a storm.
And act decisively.
Without mercy, you mean.
No, Kiera.
With mercy.
And compassion.
For all those who will be affected.
You are talking about killing Alec.
And Alec.
You want certainty.
Facts to prove you're making the right choice.
We don't have that.
But there's a sense.
There's a clarity that comes.
You guess.
We rely on science as much as we can
but faith always plays its part in the end.
Whether he pulled the trigger or not,
time traveling Alec Sadler caused your death.
His actions led to the murder of Escher,
his own father.
Alec is ready to renounce his future.
Escape with Emily and never come back.
Wouldn't that suffice?
Does that sound like the Alec Sadler
who ensures our future comes to pass?
Rejoice, Kiera.
He's making the decision for you.
Now is the time.
But if you feel you can't handle this...
It's a terrible idea.
Kellogg has money and resources and he's shady as hell.
He'll know how to help us disappear.
He's never helped anyone when it didn't benefit him more.
What are you going to have to do for him?
Whatever it takes.
Don't say that.
You make a handshake deal with Matthew Kellogg,
better make sure you have all your fingers afterwards.
You're overstating it.
We need to get Escher's file on me before we go anywhere.
If we can go anywhere.
He had me under his thumb.
I don't want to give the other guy that power.
He's already leaked some of your files to the VPD.
How much more could there be?
Oh.
Let's go on the dark-net.
Find a way there.
No offense but at least Kellogg is a devil I know.
There's no way in hell I'm poking under that rock.
You come up with something then.
You got papers?
Admin never has their shit together.
Go ahead.
Thank you.
Compound's a match.
It's what we're here for.
Locked.
Locked!
(Alarm blaring)
Evacuate!
Evacuate this building!
There is a dangerous chemical leak!
Evacuate!!
Evacuate!
Evacuate this building!
There is a dangerous chemical leak!
Evacuate!!
Hey, you two.
There is a chemical leak!
We gotta evacuate right now.
Woah.
Leave.
Okay man, take it easy!
I'm sorry!
Evacuate!
Let's finish up!
Copy that!
Evacuate!
Evacuate this building!
There is a dangerous chemical leak!
Lucas, we're inbound with the payload.
This is Jim at Gate B.
We have a truck approaching quickly.
I need assistance!
I repeat, I need assistance!!!
Whoa!!!
So security camera footage positively ID'd Travis Verta.
It was like he wanted to be sure we knew it was him.
What would Liber8 want
with a truck full of Sonmanto chemicals?
Maybe they're back in the drug game.
They changed tack and gained ground.
Why switch up the Robin Hood act now?
I don't know.
Bet you $20 it has something to do with this guy.
Mr. Richardson!
Surprised to see you here.
And I'm surprised to see VPD's Terrorist Task Force
responding to a false alarm.
Liber8 infiltrates a chemical plant
and makes no attempt to conceal their identity.
Oh yeah, nothing suspicious there.
Nothing was stolen.
Just like the safety deposit boxes?
Our staff has already conducted an extensive inventory.
Nothing is missing.
And security has confirmed not a single sensitive area
was breached.
Yeah well we'll still need to investigate.
We can start with the witnesses.
I expect no less.
Hey Betty...
Hey check and see if any tanker trucks
have been reported stolen.
Mr. Richardson tells us you surprised the thieves.
That's correct.
They pulled in,
I realized their papers were falsified and I rang the alarm.
Then why were you wearing a gas mask?
It was a stressful situation.
We gave him some oxygen.
Now if you have no further questions...
Do you have any idea what they were after?
Fortunately for all of us there's nothing here
that would have been useful to them.
And I think Frank here has been through enough.
You're right.
I apologize.
If you think of anything else.
Now I'd like to see those tanks.
Of course.
Halo will take Piron to the next level.
It will change everything!
It's like a health monitor but it's so much more than that.
You wear it on your wrist
and it can tell you everything.
I mean, it can tell you if...
It's alright.
Just wait a second.
Said you never wanted to see me again.
Trying to make sure that you don't.
What convicted felons can't travel internationally.
They can when wounded ex-boyfriends
get out of their way.
How is life with the romantic time-traveling me?
Enjoying your stay at the honeymoon suite
at the bed bug motel?
Do you know which one of us you're punishing?
I like you on a leash, Emily.
It keeps him in line as well.
[fighting grunts]
You've read my file.
You know what I've done.
What I'm capable of.
Cut us loose or next time I cut you.
Leashes break, Alec.
This plant mostly makes agricultural products.
Herbicides.
Fertilizers.
Not even the weapons-grade ammonium nitrate stuff.
In my time Sonmanto grows food.
Develops medicines, vaccines.
Even saved my life, once.
Mr. Richardson, what's in these tanks?
Uh... waste.
We ship it out bi-weekly.
What kind of waste?
By-product of an experimental high-yield agent.
It's completely benign.
Would you like the patent number?
Is it included in your inventory?
No.
There are a couple of apple cores probably
in recycling box 2, so long as we're being thorough.
Mr. Richardson, I'm going to need to see security footage
from the break-in.
Certainly.
Alec, are you there?
I need your help.
(Phone rings)
What kind of waste?
I have a chemical trace signature.
Can you analyze it?
Alright, send it over.
You should have called the other guy.
I wanted to talk to you.
Explain everything that's been going on.
It's a mix of different chemicals.
Usually found in crop cultivation.
Can you tell me if it's dangerous?
You never know what's dangerous until you do.
Alec.
I had to figure out who...
if he...
Kiera, listen.
These chemicals you found, the waste.
If it's mixed with hydrogen sulfide gas
and manganese dioxide,
its effects on the human body can be catastrophic.
Are these compounds hard to get?
Not at all.
If you can't buy straight up sulfide dioxide,
you can make it with insect repellant and toilet cleaner.
Manganese dioxide is found in most household batteries.
Mix that with the waste and you've got a bio-weapon.
A truck full of this stuff and the right equipment
and you've got the mother of all chemical weapons.
Liber8's gonna poison the whole city.
We need to find an antidote.
You know there's a difference
between predictive modeling and actual hard science.
We don't have time for tests, Alec.
We have to act fast in case Liber8 does.
Alright Piron has chemists, I can task them with this.
Thank you, Alec.
I'm not doing it for you.
I don't care who you're doing it for.
I'm just glad you're here, that's all.
I'll be in touch.
Okay, there's the truck pulling in.
(Phone alerts)
Well you sure scared them away.
Betty never got a hit on any truck.
We have to find out where they went before it's too late.
Too late for what?
Your harmless waste can be weaponized.
So elegant yet so deadly.
It's deadly?
Right now?
Not yet.
Not until it's mixed with the activator and exposed to air.
(Phone rings)
It's not a good time.
Alec, we've got Liber8 on the run with biochemical waste
and a stolen tanker truck.
I'm not sure I'm your guy.
You have to be.
The other one is already working on an antidote
if worse comes to worst.
So two Alec's are better than one.
Finally.
Assuming you've scanned police reports?
We have, it's ongoing.
Nothing yet.
Let me see what I can find.
Three drops will do.
Will do what?
Well it'll kill you.
Me.
Travis.
Him too.
So don't expose it to air?
Good thing you're here.
Clock's ticking.
Let's go.
Alright found something.
Liber8 must have scrubbed all identifying marks
from the trucks.
But there's residue of an aerial ID number.
Cross-referencing now.
Evergreen Petroleum owns that hazmat tanker.
That's weird.
Why wouldn't they report it stolen?
We'll find out.
Thanks Alec.
Kiera, before you go I just wanted to say...
Goodbye...
Hey.
So the missing truck belongs to Ever...
Evergreen Petroleum.
Yeah. I know.
I asked you to look into that truck
two and a half hours ago.
Sadler found it in 5 minutes and 4 mouse clicks.
You playing games, Betty?
Are you accusing me of...
Giving Liber8 more time to get away?
Yes. I am.
Carlos. Easy.
You've got a man on me.
Check my work.
17 companies in the Lower Mainland
running the kind of truck you specified.
I called every one of them.
Evergreen was fourth.
And what'd they tell you?
That nothing was missing.
Then a warehouse manager found a GPS unit
lying on the ground at a loading dock in Ladner.
Liber8 was smart, they knew how to disconnect it.
That was half an hour ago.
Alright.
Carlos...
I'm not finished.
I called hospitals looking for the driver.
He was at Delta hospital with a concussion.
He never saw who jumped him,
but his cell phone was left in the glove compartment.
Still on?
Yes.
Can I get back to tracking the phone's GPS now?
That's what I was coming to tell you.
Yeah.
I've narrowed it to a 15-block radius in East Vancouver.
I'm going to to cross-reference it with other providers
but I should have a fix in seven maybe eight minutes.
Okay, alert ERT and send it to the car.
And Betty?
As soon as I've got it, you've got it.
You might want to lose the attitude.
I was hoping for a quieter approach.
Yeah well, invisible Kiera's kinda hard to explain
to a dozen witnesses.
Given what we might be up against in there,
I think caution is the best option.
You know, for show.
Police! Freeze!
[gunfire]
Don't.
Liber8 yourself.
No!
Help!
Everybody get out, now!
Run!
Kiera!
[gasping]
Kiera.
You are lucky to be alive.
What about the ERT?
They're all accounted for but the perps are all dead.
Maybe that super suit of yours comes with 9 lives.
What are we missing here?
Not sure.
You know, maybe Alec could help.
Or Alec could help.
They're both helping already.
Double-team.
Fantastic.
Something's up, Carlos
(Phone rings)
Travis and Sonia are long gone.
Presumably with the weapon.
It's Betty.
Hey, what's up?
We've got a situation developing
at Sonmanto corporate headquarters.
Looks like we've got our answer.
Thanks.
Okay it'll take half an hour to get to the farm.
Once he realizes that Mom didn't call,
it'll be too late.
You get in and out as fast as you can.
Don't be a hero.
Get what Kellogg wants and we'll meet back
at the rendezvous.
We go to him together.
Then we leave for good.
Okay, got it.
Look, if something goes wrong...
It won't.
But if it does...
We talked about this. Just don't let him catch you.
Catch who?
See you soon.
You will.
Good afternoon Mr. Sadler.
Mr. Sadler! Are you forgetting something.
We have the new protocol now sir?
Keep up the good work.
Alec, I'm going to put you on speaker.
What have you got?
My chemists say the sequencing is slow.
I'm throwing teraflops of power at it.
There's no good news yet.
I had the ME send you the file on one of the gas victims.
Did you get it?
Yeah it went out to my team.
They say it presents like a neurotoxin
that's targeting the circulatory system.
And these veins?
They're like something from a Japanese horror movie.
Purple veins?
Yeah just bursting through his skin, all over his body.
Solution 16.
It's a battleground poison used in the frontier wars of 2066.
I may know what this is.
What, chemical weapons are legal in the future?
They're effective.
They get used.
So Liber8's figured out how to manufacture it
using Sonmanto's waste chemicals?
And that's why we need the antidote Alec.
We don't have much time.
Kiera I'll notify you when I have something.
Turn the car around.
The press was tipped off.
Bet that's our missing chemical waste.
We need to clear the area.
If they decide to trigger an explosion,
there won't be anywhere to hide.
Can somebody please explain to me
why there's a media circus here ahead of this department?
# Liber8Exposes
They're tweeting this?
Over 200,000 followers.
Liber8 theatrics.
But to what end?
Why go to all this trouble
and then just ditch the truck here?
The symbolism.
They're dropping toxic waste that can be weaponized
on Sonmanto's doorstep.
Ladies and gentlemen of the press.
My name is Gord Solomon
and I am the legal representative
for the group known as Liber8.
Alright, that's it.
No, hold on. Let's see what he's up to.
Inside this truck is a chemical waste by-product.
Although you wouldn't want to spread it
on your vegetable patch, in its current state it's benign.
But if you simply add a few common household chemicals
to this Sonmanto drudge, it becomes a poisonous gas
that can be used in chemical attacks.
Easy Agent Cameron.
You don't want to...
oh!
You getting this?
I have a message for you.
They said you would know, and I quote,
the future ramifications of this.
You're an errand boy for terrorists.
Liber8 wants you all to know that Sonmanto
is creating a dangerous weapon for use in a chemical attack!
That is Liber8's handiwork!
Sonmanto is well aware of the potential for weaponization.
In fact, they're already profiting from this stuff.
Enough.
Let's get Mr. Solomon out of here
and please let's move the press back.
Can these accusations be proven?
You're the so-called free press!
Find out for yourselves.
Liber8 frees!
Freedom of information.
Stand down.
Freedom of information.
Hey, you okay?
I survived the warehouse because I'm immunized.
Tens of thousands of people.
My friends died in agony.
Sonmanto created the cure.
Don't tell me they also made the...
Let's get you out of here.
I was in combat
when that chemical was used against my platoon.
It was the most excruciating pain I've ever felt.
And Sonmanto saved me when I thought I was past saving.
Liber8 knows that.
But they think they know something more.
Remember when Richardson insisted that Sonmanto
hadn't lost anything in those safety deposit heists?
Well what if this kind of information
is exactly what they lost.
What do you mean?
Well corporations spy on other corporations
all the time, right?
Now Liber8 broke into those boxes.
What if they stole that espionage?
It would explain why they went
after the Fermitas server as well.
In this time, companies are still in competition.
There is no corporate congress.
That's what Liber8 is trying to stop.
And we can't prove any of it.
Hold on.
Alec?
It's about chemical waste.
What about it?
Is there any way to find out if Sonmanto has weaponized it?
I thought you needed a cure?
I need both.
But you can wait for this though right?
You mean wait until it's actually used on somebody?
Alright let's see.
It's like spy versus spy.
Piron has files on everyone here.
Anything on Derek Richardson or Sonmanto.
Let me see.
Richardson went to Dubai.
Oh wow.
You're gonna want to read this.
I'll send it to your CMR.
Can you send it to Carlos as well?
Yeah you got it.
You asshole.
You can't stop stealing from me.
First you steal my life now you are stealing my files.
Alec?
Carlos I have to go.
Yeah.
Holy shit.
We've got Liber8 calling us the bad guys.
It's like we're in that...
what's that Superman thing?
Bizarro World.
It's where good is bad, bad is good.
That's it, detective.
But in this world, you said your company had no idea
about the possible weaponization of your waste material.
That's right.
Then why were you meeting with Chechen separatists
in Dubai three months ago?
I was in Dubai for a bio-engineering conference.
And I had no such meetings.
So cryptic communication between you and Jihadi leadership?
That's not true either?
Definitely not.
When were you planning on selling the antidote?
Or were you just going to hold out for a better price?
You are siding with terrorists and their lies, officer.
I'm siding with the truth.
For once, Liber8 did a little good.
They lifted up the mat, and you crawled out.
I'm taking you in.
What are you taking from me now?
All you have to do is let us go.
I'm not stopping you.
Emily has a warrant.
She can't leave because of it.
I can't have any access to my bank accounts.
MY accounts.
We can't get passports.
And it's against the law to get a fake passport.
Look at you.
Look what she's turned you into.
This isn't us.
Look, just let me walk out of here.
It's going to be impossible to explain anything else.
It seems possible to explain anything
when you have enough power and money.
You idiot!
You're still in love with Emily.
Hardly.
I can access every file in your directory
except for the one on her.
You have her locked up tight, so yeah, you are.
But she's done with you.
What you think you're some better version of me?
Alec 2.0?
There's nothing stopping me from having you taken away.
I can think of a dozen...
No.
We're not that kind of people.
You have no idea what kind of people I am.
You're going to wipe that file right now.
Alright I'm going now.
Stay sitting.
You know you're not going to get out of here.
I am.
You're not going to do it.
Like I said, you have no idea.
Drop it.
Kiera, he trapped Emily and he trapped me.
All we want to do is leave.
He tried to kill me.
He's twisting everything.
He screwed me over.
It's not me.
Is he dead?
Sedated.
I need to get him out of here quickly and covertly.
What are you going to do with him?
He won't bother you again.
Thank you.
I'm on your side, Alec.
You need to know that.
Alright yeah let me know what you find out.
Richardson stood pat.
Won't admit to anything and said he'd take his day in court.
Yeah I'm good with that.
We got enough.
Maybe.
Sonmanto has deep pockets
and the crown attorney has a shallow sack.
Richardson and Sonmanto are criminals.
They're selling chemical weapons.
I have a more immediate problem with that shitstorm
that you created in front of the press.
Don't you mean Kiera's shitstorm?
When Richardson accused you of siding with Liber8,
he queued up the leading soundbite for tonight's news.
That's not what I was doing.
But that's how it's going to look.
You'll catch up on some paperwork
while we wait out this news cycle.
What you got me riding a desk
because the wrong people uncovered the truth?
You are a public servant.
You chase down criminals.
You don't suggest they might be right.
About anything.
Freedom of speech!
You have it.
You just don't get to practice it in front of the cameras.
Of all the corporate hypocrites, Sonmanto might be the worst.
They'd even had me fooled.
Well that's part of the victory.
Sonmanto won't be seen as the hero.
Not in this time.
Not ever.
We changed history baby.
Yeah we'll they're still going to be making that poison.
People are still going to die.
No. They're not.
Because we're going to beat them
to the antidote by 50 years.
Roll up your sleeve.
Why?
During the war
when Sonmanto finally released a remedy for 16,
like all military personnel you got the shot right?
Yeah. Eventually.
Standard procedure.
Which means the antivirus is still in your system.
And we're going to be giving it away for free.
This is as far as you go.
Where are you taking him?
You already know.

Why are you bringing him to me?
You wanted him neutralized.
I got him off the street.
He doesn't have to die.
Then you're sure this is the right choice.
He's admitted he doesn't want to pursue his destiny.
He's turned violent.
Obsessive.
What happens to him now?
I know sacrifices are hard Kiera,
but eventually we all have to make them.
There is a big difference between sacrifice and betrayal.
We may not have been seeing eye-to-eye
but I just betrayed my friend.
A friend who betrayed you first.
He was following his heart.
Something I should do more often.
I almost forgot.
Does this mean we're done?
I'd hoped we were sealing a trust.
There's still work to do.
Liber8 is still in play.
And we have to find the other time device.
Which we should discover soon enough.
When you were CPS
it felt good to be a part of something, didn't it?
Yes.
The VPD can never be that for you.
But you could have a home, here with us.
Kiera?
Kiera what's wrong.
It's you.
I knew it.
Ugh!!!
[laughter]
Kiera!
Are you behind this?
Behind what?
Have you lost your mind?
What are you doing?
Curtis, is the one that killed me.
And now I'm going to return the favour.
Kiera you have to stop.
This is crazy.
Is that true, Curtis?
Are you a freelancing freelancer?
I've never found you funny.
