Previously on Continuum...

Police!

Freeze!

My suit is damaged.

What did you do to it?

Let's make a pact...

no more secrets from each other.

100 percent honesty, what do you think?

Sometimes you have to do the wrong thing

for the right reason.

The piece of the time travel device is missing.

Kellogg...

The revolution starts here.

This just got a lot more complicated.

In the current round of testing,

we are focusing on ways of using light spectra

to neutralize aggressive behaviour in criminals.

How far advanced is the product?

Advanced.

We found soldiers to be the ideal test subjects

due to their elevated levels of aggression.

And since they're indentured to Sadtech

for 20 years of service,

we have many eager volunteers.

Show them how it works.

No freakin' way.

Aaargh!!!!!!!

Hold your fire.

Now you can fire.

Just kidding.

Every tiger can be instantly tamed or made to attack.

All that's required is to identify

and then stimulate the corresponding neurons.

By stimulating the brain with repetitive patterns and vibrations,

we have found that you can actually control

a person's state of mind and implant specific thoughts.

Observe.

Stand on one leg.

Stay back!

Stay back!

W-we still have a-a few kinks to work out

but I can assure you this will be as safe as a baby lamb.

Greg Morris!

Are you nuts?

What are you doing out here without eye protection?

Sorry.

No!

What the hell, man?

Go, go, go!

Mmm...

Okay, I'm here.

What was so urgent that it couldn't wait?

I made you some breakfast.

What do you want, Matthew?

Okay... I've been thinking about, about you...

about you and me.

There is no you and me.

Yet... here you are.

So...

I thought you called because maybe you wanted to return

something you stole.

Your heart?

The segment from the time travel device

that brought us here.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

Hmm... I'm sure.

Now, let's just say I did take it.

Why would you want it?

It's just a useless piece of junk that won't work by itself.

Why don't you let me worry about whether it works or not.

Oh, I see.

It's like a promise, right?

Like a small piece of metallic hope.

Don't lie to yourself Kiera.

Even if you figured out a way to get home,

who's to say it's gonna be the same as the one you left?

You don't know that.

Maybe you took it because you don't want me to leave.

Well now that does sound like something that I would do.

Okay enough.

If you're not gonna give it to me

then what am I doing here?

Well I wanted to see you, spend some time.

The only time I wanna spend with you

is when you get me information to help me stop

your former comrades.

Oh!

Hey, Dillon wanted you to see this.

It may not be gang related but it definitely falls

into the interesting case category.

The shooter walks right into a corporate paintball game,

murders the CEO and then shoots himself.

What are they covered with?

Paint... paintball.

Companies wanna promote team building

so they run around with guns and shoot each other with paint,

blow off a little steam...

You've never played paintball before?

I completed several hundred hours

of simulated combat training.

Well you should try paintball someday, it's fun.

Maybe not.

Hey John, we got it from here, thanks.

This is Mr. Copeland, he's one of our witnesses.

Can you tell us what happened?

He just walked up to Greg and shot.

He wasn't part of your group?

I've been with the company since we started,

I've never seen him before.

What kind of company?

Tech, visual effects software.

Can you think of anyone who might've wanted to harm Greg?

No... he was a really good guy.

Who would do something like this?

I've got buyers lined up from Frankfurt to Dubai,

so either you wire us the money by day's end

or I'm cutting him loose.

Cole Bartley?

Miss, get away from the edge.

Whoa!

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 will 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.

Well, here's the registration you on the shooter's car.

Mark McGwinn, 25...

Yup, he lived alone,

he worked as a beta tester for a company called Tendyne Systems.

Got no priors, clean record.

Got no indication that he was gonna wake up today

and murder someone.

Carlos!

I've got another usual murder-suicide.

Female assailant at the LightRail station

in False Creek,

pulled the victim with her in front of the express train.

First responders I.D.'d her as Yvonne Ducelle,

22 from the driver's license in her wallet.

Apparently her face was pretty much unrecognizable.

She also worked as a beta tester at Tendyne Systems.

Same as McGwinn.

What kind of company is Tendyne?

It specializes in massively multi-player

first-person shooters and real time combat simulations.

Startup in '03, made the SV150 index in '07...

double-digit growth ever since.

The CEO Gabrielle Cosgrove is one of my heroes.

Well I highly doubt that this was a coincidence.

I mean, two beta testers at the same company

going off the rails on the same day?

So to speak...

You think maybe it was a lover's suicide pact?

I think there's only one way to find out.

So you're going to Tendyne?

I could come with, I kinda know about these sorta things.

It's okay, I think if uh, we need your help we can...

Actually, I think it's a great idea.

Great!

I'll grab my stuff.

Team-building.

No paint required.

Okay... I got my tautic circuitries in tact,

processors on board are linked to my computer...

all I gotta do is transfer the control to my auxiliary panels

and we should be online a week ahead of schedule.

Presto.

Presto?

Damnit.

What am I not getting about you?

Mark and Yvonne were both beta testers.

I didn't know them well

but they both were hard workers, conscientious...

I have um, grief counselors coming in

to help where they can.

Did Mark and Yvonne know each other?

I don't know.

But I can have HR send what information we have on them.

And of course feel free to talk to my employees.

Fred!

Fred Nettinger is our lead programmer.

Fred is... was um, Mark and Yvonne's direct supervisor.

Mark and Yvonne were working on our newest product.

A game?

Not just a game, the next generation of gaming.

The perfect balance of RPG and SLG elements.

Was it violent?

The game had nothing to do with what happened.

I have over a dozen beta testers working on it,

no one else has had a reaction.

Not yet anyway.

We need to see Mark and Yvonne's desks.

They were beta testers.

They work from home, they don't have regular desks.
