Continuum

Previously on Continuum:

- There is a war coming. - How can you be so sure?

Because we are going to start it.

We will do this by inspiring a new generation

to take up our cause.

If you want to change the world

you have to leave the living room first.

I don't know how to tell you this,

I'm missing a piece.

If I'm ever going to get home

the last thing I need is a trail that leads here.

A girl's gotta have secrets.

We've got intel.

Liber8 is among the leading edge.

Fall in.

What a waste!

Liber8 calls themselves revolutionaries

but all I see are vandals with no respect for private property.

If there's a message I'm not getting it.

Food?

They're stealing provisions?

These were supposed to be distributed.

That's Piron's concern.

Let's keep moving.

If these people are starving because of withheld provisions.

Sometime's it's best not to ask hard questions,

someone else will figure it out.

But if not us, then who?

Hey Carlos!

Yeah, yeah, coffee is great, thanks.

I will meet you there.

Hey! Julian!

Where're you going?

Ah, those horse stalls aren't going to clean themselves.

Well, then they won't get done.

Whoa.

You're skipping out on chores?

That's not like you.

What's your dad going to say?

My dad's not going to say anything.

Cool.

Secret's safe with me.

You going into town?

Mind your own business.

How is it these protesters can be here for weeks on end.

They're camped on city land.

Turfing them would require getting the Mayor involved,

and he's probably in there somewhere.

So the authorities do nothing?

Show force before you have to,

you risk inflaming the crowd,

escalates a situation that might not escalate.

It always escalates one way or another.

Nah.

These occupiers are going to make some noise

then sing Kumbayah and smoke a little weed and eat soy burgers.

They're harmless.

Transparency?

I didn't know they had the technology for that now.

What are you talking about?

Transparency.

To see through something.

Have you been living in a vacuum?

In this context

they're asking for transparent business practices

from the government and the corporations.

Openness, communication and accountability..

I've never a horse before they're so beautiful.

You saying there are no horses in the future?

It's a long story.

My name's Julian.

That's the kid we've been waiting for.

Check him.

Yeah.

Apparently you're some kind of big deal.

Ready to make a change, Julian?

Go time, people.

Come on!

Whoo!

Can you depend on them?

Every game needs its pawns.

We should be leading them.

The beauty of a move lies not in its appearance

but in the thought behind it.

They share our belief, our anger.

It just needs to be cultivated.

Now that we're in this time,

what's past is prologue.

Shakespeare.

And we re-write the prologue.

Check.

The situation downstairs is escalating, ma'am.

We have a car waiting in the garage.

I'll do whatever you say!

I know.

2077, my time, my city, my family.

When terrorists killed thousands of innocents,

they were condemned to die.

They had other plans.

A time travel device sent us all back 65 years.

I want to get home.

But I can't be sure what I'll return to if history is changed.

Their plan... to corrupt and control the present

in order to win the future.

What they didn't plan on

was me!

CONTINUUM S01 Ep06 - Time's up

Anybody in the building actually witness the abduction?

The only ones that saw anything are dead.

They obviously used the riot

to cover for the kidnapping.

Question is, who was pulling the strings?

You think our friends are involved?

Hey!

There's something you need to see.

My name is Henrietta Sherman.

I'm the Chief Executive Officer of Exotrol World Corporation.

I am a criminal.

I have stolen money from investors.

And manipulated profits.

Hello.

Liber8 has shown me the error of my ways.

And I accept this punishment.

Instructions will follow.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Where did the page go?

Each trace I run I get a new location.

The original server's a ghost.

The person who made this is good.

Get over to Exotrol, see what you can find.

Security procedure is to evacuate all executive staff

should their safety be threatened.

Were you evacuated, Mr. Chou?

I was at a breakfast for an environmental charity

we sponsor.

Have you received any threats recently?

A multi-national corporation receives dozens every day.

You don't seem bothered.

It's the cost of doing business I'm afraid.

Detectives, I'd like you to meet Frank Bolo.

Frank is our Head of Security here at Exotrol.

All security issues for Exotrol go through Frank and his team.

Not now that this is a police matter.

We'll take it from here.

I served with military intelligence

for two decades, Detective.

I have access to more resources

than the police department.

Yet your Queen was kidnapped from her own castle.

Why didn't you file a report with police

about these various threats?

They were looked upon as a private matter,

you understand.

We need to see all your security footage

from the time of the abduction.

Right this way.

Bring it up on the main monitor, please.

We think they used a field damper to scramble the signal.

Same with cameras to and from the loading dock.

All these cameras,

not one captured a glimpse of the attackers?

Whoever did this was a professional.

They must have compromised the building's security layout...

Every system's bound to have its blind spot.

You're suggesting whoever pulled this off

had intimate knowledge of the inner-workings

of your company's security system.

It would seem so.

Do you trust your team, Mr. Bolo?

Every last one, and frankly I'm offended by the question.

We lost two good men today, Detective.

We have to explore every option.

Well I assure you Mr. Bolo and I are at your disposal.

We more than anyone,

want to see the secure return of Ms. Sherman.

It looks like liber8 is going live with another video.

Can you copy that link?

I, Henrietta Sherman its CEO and President,

am ordering Exotrol Corporation

to prepare $20 million cash, today.

This ransom will be paid without negotiation.

Where and when will be provided shortly.

Trace that video now!

This is insane.

Can you get the ransom together in enough time?

I need board approval...

So get them.

You do nothing and she will die.

We'll be in touch gentlemen.

Let's go!

Draw them out by giving them what they want.

It's ballsy.

Given what you know about Liber8,

would you do otherwise?

$20 million is a huge risk.

You sure this will work?

They're hungry for it so we'll give them a taste.

But that's the thing about hunger.

They've got to stick their necks out to get fed...

and that's when they're vulnerable.
