Continuum

Previously on Continuum:

Edward Kagame,

he is the leader of the cell. and the most dangerous.

He didn't make it through.

We'll be okay without him.

With our knowledge of the future

we can operate here virtually unchallenged.

I like it here.

My suit was damaged.

You led them right back to us.

Run!

- I'm home! - Keira...

We're in the kitchen.

We?

Are 'we' celebrating something?

You're looking at the new project leader

on SadTech's latest and greatest.

Promotion.

Congratulations.

Thanks for the beer.

I'll walk you out.

Bye Oscar.

Keira.

Bye Sam.

I missed you all day long, yes, I did.

Project leader?

Now we can afford this new place...

You still like it?

I love it.

Seriously?

It's not just us. The whole city is dark.

The terrorists again? I'm so sick of this.

Don't stress.

The last time they took out the reactor

it took them four hours to get it back up.

Baby, relax, Ok?

The power will be back right away.

It's just street punks

taking advantage of the black out.

If they get into the building...

They won't have time.

Power will be back in ten seconds.

Ten seconds?

Trust me.

10...

9...

8...

7...

Just watching you hurts me.

Then don't watch me.

Don't they have makeup in 2077?

Let's just say the future has changed some things for the better.

How?

A mascara stick that uses an electrostatic charge

preset to release the perfect amount every time.

Describe it to me?

Shit!

Power's out.

Yup.

Garbage truck backed into a pole around the corner from you.

Of course it did.

Cameron.

Good morning, Keira.

You busy?

No. Not really.

Why?

Well, I'm not sure, but I got something

here that I think is right up your alley.

Could be the work of your gang.

I'll text you the address.

Thank you.

In all my years as a broker,

I've never seen anything like this.

Just lucky I guess.

Your timing has been...

spectacular.

Well, maybe I'm from the future

and know what's about to happen.

Yeah, future or not,

You my friend, are now a very rich man.

Here are the new companies I want to invest in.

Synthetic food production, disaster insurance bonds...

What are you expecting? The end of the world?

Something like that.

Lab Assistant found Professor Ames here at 0810.

Nobody moved the body, or touched anything.

Single entry to the front, left of the mid-line.

Clean hole.

75 millimeters in diameter.

Through and through?

Help me turn him over.

Entry wound's the same size as the exit, 75 millimeters.

Give or take.

Whatever went through him,

went through the damn floor...

Let's go.

What the hell penetrates a body

then five stories of a building?

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.

to corrupt and control the present

in order to win the future.

What they didn't plan on

was me!

CONTINUUM S01 Ep04 - Matter of Time

So you think the gang is involved?

Maybe.

There's an unusual energy signature

from the device that killed the professor.

If I had my suit

I could have captured a clearer optical pattern.

Well, you know I can fix whatever's wonky on your suit.

I do know a little bit about electronics.

They don't rewire these things like machines,

they regenerate them like living tissue.

Mitotic circuitry...

it's like electronic stem cells...

carbon nanotubes for structure

millions of micro reefs.

All right.

Come on!

At least that's the theory.

Whose theory?

My father's...

But so far it's just a theory.

Have you seen my partner?

There you are.

I invited Ames' grad student down to the precinct to answer a few questions.

- I'm going to head there now. - Good idea.

Shane...

Thanks for coming in.

So, you're one of how many assistants were working for Professor Ames?

Well, there were drones, undergrads...

But at my level?

I was it.

So, then you'd know pretty much everything there is to know

about this contraption that the Professor was working on.

Everything except why it backfired.

Backfired?

Something must have gone wrong with Calisto.

The machine.

Ames named her.

Why don't you tell us what this thing does?

We were working on anti-matter containment...

You have to break that down for me

because I don't really speak science.

Our world is made up of matter.

There's also anti-matter.

And when you contain and harness anti-matter,

if... if that's even possible.

You would have access to unlimited clean energy.

Provided if you could figure out

how to sustain it beyond milliseconds.

Yeah.

We've had ours in, seven to eight hours.

What?!

Ladies...

Can I help you?

Yeah, there's a really creepy guy in the neighborhood

who is giving us trouble.

Where is this creepy guy?

What's the address here?

It's clear.

I think we'll be right at home here.

Spearheading a competitive new technology like this

you're about to make a few enemies.

Yeah, we have threats all the time.

Threats?

I mean, probably the machine just backfired.

These threats were they credible threats?

Did you report them?

We logged them with police.

Especially this one group

"Stop Mad Scientist"...

They threatened they'd burn down the lab.

The leaders' name is Vincent.

Can you can think of anybody else?

Well, I know the military was always offering

to finance the project.

But the Professor wouldn't accepted.

Although, I think towards the end, he may have been buckling.

Shane...

How easy would it be to rig Calisto to backfire?

That person would have to be pretty advanced

in the technology but yeah, I suppose one could do it.

Is there a way for us to access the Professor's files on Calisto?

You can't, but I can.

His files are on a backup system that I designed...

What the...

No... No!

Problem?

The files... the files are gone.

There must be another backup.

No, no. You don't understand. This was the backup.

This is the safest form of storage.
