Twenty years ago
when the corporations bailed out our failed governments,
they sold it to us as salvation...
Now we see
that we paid for that rescue with our freedoms.
We have awakened to the truth
that we have become slaves to the Corporate Congress...
Today that all changes.
Let the word go forth from this time and place,
to friend and foe alike,
that we have passed the torch to a new generation
unwilling to permit the undoing of human rights and dignities.
And let every corporation know,
whether it wishes us well or ill,
that we shall pay any price in order to assure
the survival and the success of liberty.
Don't move!
Hands where we can see them!!
Stay where you are!
I got this, Kiera.
You're under arrest.
Under section 76 of the Union Code,
you are charged with being the leader of the terrorist group
Liberate.
And conspire to plot against the Corporate Congress.
You're too late.
Oh, my God!
Liberate murdered 30,000 people to kill 20.
Of course they deserve to be executed.
Separate their method from their message.
For just a second.
It'll never happen.
Forget it.
Because they went too far.
So you do agree with them?
No, I understand them.
You understand bombing the Corporate Congress
and killing people?
I understand wanting to return to democracy again
versus corporate dictatorship.
Come on, governments lost their relevance
So we'd be dead, or in the street,
if it wasn't for the corporate bailout?
And you wouldn't have that ivory tower to teach out of.
We've given up representation, free speech, assembly.
Seems like you're still free to speak your mind.

..and CPS webs as well.
Something's up.
A call to arms on the eve of the executions.
They're just trying to intimidate us.
Won't work.
After tomorrow tonight, they'll just be dead.
And we'll move on with our lives.
Mom?
Are the bad guys attacking us again?
No.
The bad guys are in prison.
And pretty soon they will never be able to hurt anyone again.
Do you have to go?
Yeah, it's my job.
For me?
For tomorrow, in case you need back up.
Thank you.
First execution in 40 years.
You should be proud you got the assignment.
Thanks.
...check in your sector.
Please confirm I.D.
Hang on.
Looks like you're up.
Won't take long.
You're a suspect in a crime.

Hey you too.
You better clean up your acts,
or you'll be permanent visitors at this place.
Take my advice...
You want to leave this world
with your dignity and your emotions intact.
That's what your followers would want,
and more importantly that's what I want.
Do we understand each other?
We just received credible information
that Liberate's plan is to attack
the execution chamber itself.
Back up Prison Security.
Stay alert.
Change of plan Kiera, you're with Elena in the chamber.
The rest of you with me.
What do you think Greg?
Circus or justice?
You don't believe every one in the world needs to see this.
I would have preferred something a little less public.
But the surviving members of the board insisted.
The board is right.

I haven't put the tech your talking on

Isn't somebody going to explain to me what just happened?
Well, Lucas is the only one who can tell us but he's not here.
What about Kagami?
He didn't make it through.
We'll be okay without him.
Wow!

If I'm in the past,

No.
I have a son.
He has to see the dentist tomorrow.
We're going to The Lemurs' concert this weekend,

It is not 2012.

Look, I don't know what's going on either,
but there's no way you and I should even be talking to each other.
We're communicating on a next-gen, Liquid Chip,

That's proprietary.
You created this technology?
Yes.

Hello?
Am I the only one to point out the obvious here?

Even if we manage to make an impact in this time,
there will be enough years between now and the revolution
to turn it around.
The revolution is on our schedule now, Kellogg.
The war begins now.
Now...
About me.
Hello?
Get out of my head, Alec.
You can't shut me out.
I built the system we're talking on, remember?
But I understand...
You think by telling me about myself,
you might create a paradox
where by my knowing, it won't actually happen?
What you may not know is that there are two schools
of quantum time travel theory.
On the one hand, you have already changed the future
by going back in time.
The damage is done. You can't stop what's already been started.
What's the other?
That this journey is part of your own time-line from the future.
That is to say,
all of these events actually happened before,
and you're simply going through the motions, again.
Does that mean I'm going to get back to my time?
If that's what happens...
or happened.
It's a little confusing, even for me.
Or maybe you're just some hacker thief
who stole my research, and this is some elaborate ruse.
You're so pretty.
Not cool.
Turn it off, Alec.
Is it off?
Yeah, it's off.

Whoa, whoa...
Something just happened.

All right.
He's not ready... Not yet.
(Newscaster): Good evening,
Police in Portland are trying to locate the shooter
in a gang slaying that took the lives of three men
in a brazen evening attack last night.
I have to say we're absolutely not surprised to find him here...
...Described automatic gunfire from a black SUV...
Police have not released the identities of the victims...
(Newscaster continues in background)
You believe this?
What have you got?
All signs point to an explosion.
But there are no bomb fragments,
no evidence of combustible material, no residue at all.
How is that even possible?
Good question.
Do you recognize her?
Not one of mine.
Just give me a sec, huh?
Excuse me.
Can I help you?
No thank you.
I don't think you understand.
This is a crime scene.
I'm going to have to ask you to leave.
You're law enforcement?
Detective Carlos Fonnegra.
Special Investigations Unit.
You picked up a suspect last night?
Male. 30's.
Red jumpsuit.
Probably intoxicated.
We did.
Are you suggesting he had something to do with this explosion?
Yes. Did you bring in any other suspects last night?
Just the one you described.
You saying he's part of a gang?
A very dangerous one.
There are six others that are headed somewhere this way.
I'm assuming at least one of them is injured.
You seem to know quite a bit about this incident.
Which agency are you with?
I'm...
I should get going.
Hey, hey, whoa, whoa!
Anything you can add to help lighten my workload
would be greatly appreciated, trust me.
I'm sorry, I don't want to get in trouble...
This isn't my jurisdiction.
Look, this character we brought in last night,
he's got no ID, he's not telling us his name.
Doesn't show up in any print or DNA databases.
A little help would be nice.
His name is Lucas Ingram and you won't find him in any database.
What else you got?
I've said too much already.
I think both of us know you're a cop.
Why are you pretending not to be?
Aren't we supposed to be on the same side!
Helping each other out.
Linda Williams, Detective
Portland PD, Number 1272.
Portland?
You showing up without approval
could be quite the political hot potato.
Don't sweat it.
Nice to meet you Detective Williams.
How about I get you in a room with Lucas Ingram?
After that you can decide
whether or not you want to help me.
Thanks.
Hey Carlos.
Well you seem to have adjusted quickly.
Where are the others?
Probably doing things they shouldn't be.
Answer the question, Ingram.
Please, the adults are talking right now.
Detective, could you give us a minute?
I think it might help.
Who fixed you up in the prison?
What are you talking about?
The device was smuggled in.
You had someone on the inside.
What difference does it make?
You can't go back and file a report.
Ahh!
How do you get back to 2077?
You can't undo what's been done.
We're here.
We can't get back.
You don't know that.
Actually, before I joined the movement
I was a SadTech engineer, so yes, I do know.
And let me be clear.
This has always been a one-way ticket,
Look, with the knowledge you have,
why not just make some quick money
on the stock market or sports, buy an island
and hide out when the shit hits the fan?
Stay out of our way and we'll leave you alone.
Do you know who I am?
You're a Protector.
Yeah, a Protector.
A nobody cop.
You, you're somebody.
I bet if I had the right person and proper means to look,
I could find out quite a bit about you
Is the right person me?
I'm talking to you!
What?!
It is me!
Okay, sweet, what are we looking for?
You were born Lucas Talbert.
Talbert, got it!
You took your mother's name, Ingram,
after your father went to prison.
She was, correction, she will be born in Victoria
a few years from now, to Kent and Mary-Lee Ingram.
Mary-Lee Ingram, found her!

It's on a cul-de-sac.
Last house on the right.
The price of being a famous terrorist.
You wouldn't.
Right before I buy that island.
Wait!
I'll tell you what I know!
What did you say to him?
We talked about his future.
My boss wants a word.
This Ingram character is linked to gang activity in Portland?
I just spent the better part of a decade
crushing the local gangs,
and I'll be damned if some Oregon startups
are going to make camp in my backyard,
you understand me, Detective?
Yes, sir.
Then enlighten me.
My hunch is they are moving their territory North.
They're part of a larger gang.
West Coast based.
Started in Portland.
They will expand rapidly by taking over other gang chapters
and affiliates.
You guys call in the Marines?
Stay back, folks.
You can expect well-coordinated and violent criminal activity.
A ruthless disregard for the law and some unorthodox tactics.
[FIGHTING GRUNTS]
So you're an expert?
Gang task force or something like that?
Something like that.
Who's your direct supervisor?
Your Lieutenant?
My direct supervisor?
Who do you report to?
I want to know who to thank
for setting up a Portland based operation
in my precinct without my authorization.
Still waiting, Detective.

Yeah...

Walt..
Woah, woah, woah, slow down..

It already started.
They're following a tactical protocol.
Shelter, weapons, credits.
Currency.
Money.
That's their plan?
We've got a half a dozen bank alarms triggered all over the city.
Is this in their play-book?
It's a diversion.
What?
There's only one bank being robbed.
How do you know?
Focus on the last alarm tripped.
Why that one?
Because they wouldn't move until they had cover.
Go.
