The first 200 lines.
Previously, on Continuum...
- Millions will respect your name. - Rot in hell.
Carlos!
How is that mayoral campaign coming?
Just kicked into high gear,
now that an election is right around the corner.
I guess I have you to thank for that.
I go on trial in a few weeks, I think we know how that'll turn out.
You have a destiny to fulfill.
I don't think our methods are compatible.
I'm sure you can talk to your Mr. Escher
and let him know I'm one of the good guys.
- Tell me everything. - My name is Kiera Cameron.
And I came here from the year 2077.
It's time, Theseus.
On your feet.
Let's go.
Theseus.
2077. My time. My city. My family.
When terrorists killed thousands of innocents,
they were condemned to die.
They had other plans.
The 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.
2x07 Second Degree
- Elena was braver than me. - Why do you say that?
She made a life for herself in this time.
Committed. Forged connections.
- You made connections. - I know.
That's odd...
- What's up? - Hopefully nothing.
- Someone removed Elena's body! - What?
How do you know that?
The same way I know that your heart rate right now
is 55 and your BP is 110 over 80.
Right, gotta get used to that chip in your head.
Multi-spectrum nano-sensor array.
It's...
Why would somebody want to steal a corpse?
Only someone that knew she was a time traveler
would have done this.
Whoever it was went through a lot of trouble to cover this up.
Shit, I gotta get to court. What're you gonna do?
Bodies from the future being snatched?
I've got an idea of two more that might be next in line.
Excuse me.
Agent Cameron.
Never sneak up on someone in the morgue,
it's like the number one rule.
- I'm sorry. - It's ok.
You here about Jowarski and Chen?
Ye... Yes.
Don't worry, it's all been taken care of.
- What's been taken care of? - The paperwork.
Don't you guys communicate?
Agent...
Warren signed the bodies out yesterday.
- The bodies are gone? - Shipped.
Remind me. Agent Warren...?
Section Six?
- Carlos? - Jim.
Pretty tense around here.
Lots of people still stunned by Julian Randol's sentence...
if you can call time served plus three months a sentence.
Kinda hard to pin a terrorism charge
on a kid driving a van full of empty barrels.
It sounds like you sympathize.
Not at all.
Julian Randol was willing to kill hundreds of people.
Hopefully the attempted murder charge will stick.
Maybe the only way this city gets any justice.
He shot me. That's a fact.
Shooting a cop carries heavy freight, whether you kill him or just wound him.
- Excuse me. - I let you down, I know that.
I can't change the past,
but I'm here hoping to change the future.
Oh, really? You're going to try and politic me?
Carlos, I want to win this.
I see a way to bring the factions together,
to bring this city back together.
The people want a mayor that works for their interests,
not his own.
It's about trust.
I'll earn the respect.
Well, don't tell us. Show us.
Alec!
Shit!
Did I interrupt something?
I am about to revolutionize quantum computing
with that little slice of heaven you gave me!
Someone claiming to be Section Six
just took the two Liber8 bodies from the morgue.
Jowarski and Chen? What? How?
Elena's body has also been moved so please, Alec,
I need you to...
Is something wrong, Agent Cameron?
What do you want, Gardner?
Seems all the people in your life share your mysterious past
and then vanish just as mysteriously.
- What are you talking about? - Your friend, Elena.
I saw you and Carlos at the grave today,
it got me thinking...
I'm going to have my people recover the casket.
You got a problem with that?
No. It's a good idea.
Really?
Yeah, I had a feeling something was up,
so I'd like to know what you find out.
That's it?
Now that you mention it,
someone impersonating Section Six was here.
Yeah, no there is someone impersonating Section Six,
I think you and I are just talking about different people.
- What a dick! - Oh yeah.
Whoever it was illegally removed two Liber8 bodies
from the morgue.
Why don't you do yourself a favour and help out for a change?
Help you?
You might just find what you're looking for.
Uh...
Kiera, do you think that's wise?
Alright, Cameron, game on.
Ah, stay put!
I need access to all your security footage.
Come here!
I don't know why you're letting Gardner help you.
Give a dog a bone, he'll chew on it for hours.
I'm VPD. Cordon off the exits!
Move! Out of my way!
Move, move, move!!!!
Move, move, move!!!! Out of my way!
Shit.
Detective Fonnegra,
did you identify yourself as a police officer to Mr. Randol?
To Roland Randol, yes.
When we arrived on the scene.
What about Julian,
or the other boys who showed up that day,
did you identify yourself to them?
I don't recall.
You can't recall something as simple as standard procedure?
Have you ever had a gun pointed at you?
How about three, or four?
Makes it harder to remember the minutiae.
Were you wearing a badge, a uniform,
anything to distinguish yourself as a police officer?
No.
Then it's only reasonable to assume my client
was merely acting in defense of himself
and his family that morning
against what he perceived to be an armed intruder.
Oh, this is horseshit!
Quiet.
I'll remind you, detective, that the kind of language
you may be comfortable with at the precinct
will get you a contempt charge in my court.
Free Julian Randol!
Free Julian Randol!
Free Julian Randol!
Clear the court!
Take the defendant out, now!
Free Julian Randol!
Free Julian Randol!
You were going to kill my little girl in that building!
Free Julian Randol!
Free Julian Randol!
No!
No!
The prosecution's case is solid,
and a guilty verdict is both desired and, in my opinion,
the only just way.
End quote.
How's that?
Anytime.
Yeah, I hope you're right.
But you can still call me Jim.
Thanks.
Mr. Martin.
What do you want?
The mayor in my back pocket would be a good start.
Yeah, well I can't do that.
I hear you did, that you were bought and paid for.
It's not true, I've uh...
I've been a consultant.
Call it what you will, but remember this,
whatever I may lack in Sonya's financial leverage,
I more than make up for in organization.
Then you'll be one of my first targets when I get into office.
Sure.
Hide your treachery behind a tough on crime agenda.
Works for a lot of people.
But here's what works for me.
And you're going to want to get this one right.
Keep Sonya's money, play her game.
But every move you make, you gotta run by me first.
