02x04 - 11:27

[bunniefuu]

Previously, on Travelers...

- FBI.
- Ted Bishop.

Flight 329
to Washington goes down

at 2:53 P.M.

You're not the E.M.T. team
I was expecting.

Traveler 3569,
welcome to the 21st.

You seen my eyedrops?

What's going on, Man?

Give me back my drops.

Here. It's a good thing

these are helping
with your addiction, huh?

- I know.
- What?

That you're pregnant.

I'm just trying
to find the missing pieces.

Maybe someone is best defined

by how they affect
the people around them.

"Helix"?

"Sandstorm."

Prove it.

Did you bring it?

Did you bring it?

Keep it
cool and dry.

We shouldn't
contact each other

on the forums
anymore.

k*ll the trail here.

He's taken care of.

Copy.

Thanks.

Do you know how to handle that?

It's safe to walk around
with, right?

It's stable.
Wouldn't call it safe.

What does that mean?

That means

don't drop it,
don't shake it,

don't expose it to heat,
don't get it wet.

I know what
I'm doing, assh*le.

- She's pleasant.
- I can tell.

Reminds me
of your girlfriend.

This is what
I asked you

to build, right?

I did a lot of research.

To your exact specifications.

Then we're good.

Long as you don't take it
through a metal detector.

Trevor, don't scare her away.

Why do you care?

Because I made it.

You do
something stupid

and blow yourself up

trying to get through
security...

Easy!

...It might come back on me.

You don't have
to worry about that.

I should go after her.

Don't do it.

Marcy's right.

We don't want
to push her too hard.

Hey, I'm not trying
to push her at all,

but that's the mission
that the Director assigned us.

We'll just have to try again.

Agent MacLaren.

Congressman Bishop.

We meet again.

You met my host.

We never actually met
because you improvised.

Almost got yourself
k*lled in the process,

and left me stranded,
waiting for another team.

Gee, I'm sorry
for the inconvenience.

There was
an extenuating circumstance.

Always is,
with you.

I'm amazed you're assigned
any missions at all,

let alone this one.

This one?

Well, I'm assuming

it's not just
to drive you around.

Your mission

is to perform
an assassination.

Of who?

Me.

Hi, Chloe.

It's your boyfriend!

Babysitting
my little sister today.

Do you want to play
Space Kebab?

He's not your boyfriend,
he's mine.

You can play, though,
if you don't tell Mom.

Want to play
something else?

I can't stay,

I just came
for some drops.

You're burning
through 'em fast.

We are.

That's fair.

Maybe we can play a little.

Hi, this is David.
Leave a mess...

It's open!

Hey!

Hey, hey.
Let... Leave that.

I'm no stranger
to moving furniture.

Yeah, I know,

but you shouldn't
be overdoing it.

Part of my deal with Nicole

is to redecorate this place
while she's gone...

Which... looks like
it could be a while, by the way.

She's loving it
in London, so yay.

You really like it here,
huh, in this space?

Are you kidding?

It's the kind of place
I fantasized about living in,

until I met you.

You don't think I'd go
for something like this?

No.

Huh.

There's a unit for sale
in this building.

Let's put in an offer.

I'm serious!

But you love our old house.

It's a house.

Without you living there,
it's an empty house.

I say
we downsize.

With the baby coming,
I need more space, not less.

- Oh.
- What?

Oh, come here.

Can you feel that?

I can't believe
we're doing this.

What?

You said "we".

I got all excited.

I'm not ready
for you to move in, Grant.

Well, a house doesn't
get sold in a day.

And we're leaving
the other one behind

either way, right?

I'm just...

thinking about
the future.

Maybe I should've
gone after her.

She comes to this cafe

almost every day,
just after 10:00.

Okay, she's coming down
Bellwood.

She's close.

She's stopped
just outside.

Copy.

What are you doing here?

Huh?

Are you following me?

How?

I've been here
for two hours.

Are you following me?

No. But that's my spot.

I was here first.

Sit there.

Whatever. Whatever.

Can I help you...
"SandStorm"?

Sounds so stupid
when you say it out loud.

Yeah, it does.

I'm Trevor.

Abby.

Galston
Agriculture fan?

Mm-mm. Not a fan.
Definitely.

Why?

They stomp out
the competition,

they stall unions,
file nuisance claims,

fund anti-environmental
lobbyists.

Other than that,

they're model
corporate citizens.

Okay, it's way
worse than that.

Look at the bottom.

"Seed C589,

"scheduled for limited
release and production.

Patent pending."

That's all it says.

It's an experimental crop that's
able

to extract more nutrients
from the soil

in order to yield
a larger harvest,

by 20% to 30%.

And what's wrong with that?

It's never been
tested in the field.

They don't know the limits

of how many nutrients C589
will pull from the soil.

It's not about sustainability,
it's about profit,

and for the sake of a few years
of record harvests,

this crop could decimate

all the farmland
that it grows in.

A famine isn't just
some biblical event.

No, I know.
It happens.

They already have
a prototype strain ready to go.

When?

This week.

Well, it would have
to pass FDA regulations.

Not if Bill 939 gets passed,

which allows corporations
bypass the regulatory process

for standard testing.

They want to get it to market
ahead of their competition.

How do you know all of this?

Not here.

Jeff?

Anyone home?

I was pretty excited
when I got the internship.

I thought I could
take 'em down

from the inside, you know?

I wrote to our congress
I wrote to our senator,

I sent reports to the FDA
of their violations.

I even tried
blackmailing

one of their
private investors.

You go, girl!

You did not
just say that.

Um, anyway,
I got just moved

from the labs
down to the basement,

so all I do now
is archive old paperwork.

So, I'm not waiting
around anymore.

What does that mean?

I still have access
to the building

and I have what I need
to do something about it.

That's serious sh*t
you're talking, Abby.

It's also a big job
for one person.

I can do it.

You don't think
I can do it?

You're not hearing me.

...And while House
and Senate Democrats

are deeply divided
on this issue,

Congressman Ted Bishop
has taken a hard stand

against it.

We are gonna stop Bill 939.

We're gonna get
the Senate to hear us...

That we will strike down
this destructive bill,

and we will succeed.

This is it.

Whoa... Holy sh*t.

This place is...

Hey.
Hello.

Abby, Philip.

My hacker friend
I was telling you about.

Oh. What'd he say?

Uh, you're the best,

I can trust you,

and you want to help.

There's so much more to me.

You guys live here?

Mi Casa.

I still have a room
at my parents' house,

but I'm here a lot.

Just the two
of you?

And Poppy.

His pet turtle.

You do know
they can carry

salmonella
bacteria, right?

Noted.

Okay.

Our system is completely secure,
so go ahead and plug in.

No shame in a little p*rn.
I won't judge.

Rule 34.

She's hilarious.
Where'd you find her?

She found me.

These are
the project work files

on C589
I managed to swipe.

I've gone through
some of it,

but a lot of it's
encrypted.

What's the timeline
we're working on here?

The Bill 939 vote
is tomorrow.

Galston won't waste time.

The labs are always empty

between 11:00 and 1:00
for lunch.

That's our window.

The heartbeat sounds good.

The kidney, liver, brain,
all developing very well.

This is just what we want
to see at this stage.

Now, there was one area
of concern that we saw.

This dark spot here,
behind the placenta.

What is it?

Too early to say
for sure,

but we would be concerned
if it were a blood clot.

Have you experienced
any spotting,

any contractions
recently?

No.

What would
a clot mean?

It could be
the early signs

of a placental
abruption.

But it could
be nothing?

Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.

There's no need
for either of you

to worry at this time.

But given your age
and your history,

we're gonna... gonna keep
a close eye on this.

So, best to make
an appointment

with my office,

come back and see me
in two weeks. Okay?

Yeah.

The doctor said
it might not be anything.

I know what
the doctor said,

and I've been
through this before.

That's not going
to happen this time.

That's not
in your power.

Oh, sh*t!

I left my phone
in there.

Wait for me in the car.
I'll be two minutes.

Thank you.

Marcy?
You got a minute?

I-I didn't want to have
this conversation over com.

What?

I need a favor.

Yeah, of course.

One that
breaks protocol.

I need you
to understand

this happened
the night

we were all under

the effect of the anti-toxin.

Which you don't remember.

We briefed you
on the Helios mission,

this was the night after...

We were
all affected.

Okay.

Well, my wife
had helped to arrange

a surprise party
for me,

and I-I didn't realize
the effect the drug was having,

I consumed too much alcohol.

You broke protocol 4?

And that puts her at, what?

20 weeks?

Something like that.
This is not her fault.

No, it isn't.
It's yours.

- I know.
- What were you thinking?

I... wasn't, obviously.

All right. Well,
it'd probably still be best

if you took her to a clinic.

The procedure's safe,
even at this stage.

She's going
through with it.

It's her
decision to make.

Well, talk her
out of it.

I'm not going
to do that.

No.

We just came from
the ultrasound.

There's a problem.
Placental abruption?

Yeah.

That's serious in any century.

Yeah, but you could
improve her odds

of carrying the baby
to term, right?

There is a drug I could
technically synthesize, yes,

but you know
that I can't do that.

I'm asking you
to think about it.

I need to get back to work.

Hey, Marcy.

Dr. Barker.

Uh, so is he your, uh..?

My boyfriend? No.

Excuse me.

Would you like to go
to dinner sometime?

Sure.

When?

How about...
How about this weekend?

How about now?

I just got to go change.

Oh...

Okay, then.

I'll be giving my speech
from here.

Yeah. There's
a decent vantage point.

From which to sh**t me?

That's why we're here.

I was told there'll be
a distraction at 11:27 A.M.

Yeah, we're aware of that.

It's blocks away,
but the sound should carry.

Why don't you
check out your spot?

You all right?

This is plan "B".

My original mission
from the director

was a little more
long-term.

Rise in the ranks of government,
maybe to high office.

Unfortunately, my host
has a heart condition

the Director
wasn't aware of.

You've still done great things
as a congressman,

things that your host
wouldn't have done.

Been paying attention,
have you?

Felt I had
a vested interest.

The Director
has fattened me up

like a lamb being
led to the slaughter.

All I've done
in the short time I've been here

is set myself up
to become a martyr.

We all have our part
in the grand plan.

Yeah, yeah,
it is what it is.

Oh, I want to ask...

That woman
in the stasis field...

What was she to you?
Worth risking your life for?

Someone I care about

that was not supposed to be
on the plane that day.

She made it?

Yeah. She did.

Well, that makes one of us.

It'll be
quick, right?

Thank you.

Yeah.

Um... to courage.

To courage.

So...

what drew you
to health care?

God, that is
an awful question

to lead with.

I am so sorry.

No. It's...
It's fine.

No, no. It's, uh...

I don't know what it is
about you.

You're so...

At some point, I'm gonna need
you finish that sentence.

Every male
in the entire hospital

would be jealous of me,
if they knew where I was.

This must be a really
good restaurant, then.

I mean, with you.

Obviously.

Uh, well, I got
into health care

because,
in the future,

it's gonna be more
important than ever.

I know.

And we're just on the cusp
of so many amazing things.

Mm.

Why'd you become a doctor?

Um, similar reasons to you,
really.

I want to be part of
the changes that are coming.

Think of
what we're able to do now

that we couldn't
even 10, 15 years ago.

Brain mapping,
stem cell research,

robotically-assisted
surgeries.

Limitless ways
to help people.

I mean, isn't that
what it's all about?

You have a very positive
view of the future.

Yeah, don't you?

I do.

Here you go.

Thanks.

What are you
writing?

It's like
a mission statement.

I want people to know
why we're doing this.

You don't think that
bombing a research lab

makes a statement?

I don't want
people to think

that I'm some
radical.

There's
a point to this.

Yeah, that's why
we're helping you.

I've been
doing some reading.

C589 is worse
than you think.

How?

There are properties in
the genetic mutation of the seed

that are monophyletic.

Mono... what?

It means that
the organisms descend

from the same common ancestor.

In this case, the kudzu...

A weed known for completely
taking over a territory.

So if farmers
start using C589...

Not only will it deplete
the soil of nutrients,

it will spread.

Rapidly.

With its genetic
resistance to pesticides,

C589 could become
impossible to contain.

He's right.

All arable land on the planet
could be choked out in decades.

You guys really know your sh*t.

I don't really have
a life outside the Internet.

And I'm getting
an "A" in biology.

No, thank you. Uh-uh.

Yeah, I spent
many years

very, very close
to an old person

who had to fight for
every breath he took.

You trying
to ruin this for me?

Nah. You're
an intelligent person.

You can make
your own decisions.

So what do we do now?

We can look
at the stars.

Nah, there's too much
light pollution.

I can only see one.

Sirius.

Huh.

There's...
There's another one.

That's Mars.
That's a planet.

I defer to your
astronomy expertise.

Astrology,
unfortunately.

My mom was into it.

She based all her decisions,
all her relationships,

on bullshit like whether
Jupiter and Mars were aligned

You know,
most belief systems

are just
a shared vocabulary

for people
in search of meaning.

I think maybe
the important thing

is to just believe
in something.

You mean
something spiritual?

Something.

I don't believe
in anything.

Yeah, you do.

You believe in humanity.

You believe
that our future's at stake.

That's not spiritual.

Yeah, it is.

What?

God, who are you?

I mean, where were you
when I was in high school?

It would've been nice
to have at least

one interesting
person to talk to.

Well, I'm kind of an old soul.

Yeah, no kidding.

I like it.

I, uh... I should
get back in there,

and see if Phil...

Yeah.

...See if Philip
needs help finishing up.

So... don't light up
while I'm gone.

Good to go.

Do you remember
when Hall said,

"Don't think the future
doesn't get its hands dirty"?

I know
how you feel.

But we knew,
going into this,

that there's some parts
of history we can't change.

Some people
still have to die.

Doesn't mean
I have to like it.

Morning, Congressman.

MacLaren.

Not much of a turnout.

It's far more important
the event's covered

by news the outlets,
and they're all here.

You know, for
what it's worth...

It's worth nothing.

It's a life thrown away
on the vague hope

that one man's death
can turn a tide.

I wish
I'd never volunteered,

but here I am.

You are going
through with this?

Don't worry,
I'll play my part,

however pathetic
it might be.

Well, then again,
you might just change the world.

I know
the Director believes that.

Five minutes.

Bishop's ready.

I'm in position.

Me too. All set.

The device
is set for 11:27,

so when you have it
in place, here,

on the second floor...

I flip
the engagement switch

and get the hell
outta the building.

You got it.

All right.

Okay. Here we go.

You good?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I should go.

We'll be right here
the whole time.

See you soon.

Thank you.

Thank you all for coming.

We are gathered here

at a defining moment
in the history of our country.

Today, the senate will vote
on Bill 939...

...Which, at its core,

institutes provisions

that seek to diminish

corporate environmental
accountability.

No way!

As your congressman,

I stand here
as a comrade in arms.

Ready to fight
against irresponsible policies

brought forth to the senate,

that seek to place
short-term profits

ahead of the health
and well-being of our planet.

I don't
like it either.

I can't do it.

What?

I changed my mind.
This isn't what I want.

Let's go.

No. No, no.
You need to trust the plan.

I don't.
I'm not doing it.

I don't know
what I was thinking.

Abby...

Abby,
what's changed?

You. Okay?

It's you guys!

I mean, you've completely
opened my eyes to a possible...

Traveler 0115...

No! No!

...Complete the mission
in place of Abigail Paris

immediately.

Oh, sh*t.

Help me.

Why would
the Director do this?

Because she was
supposed to die.

What are you doing?

Protocol 1.

Bye.

Trevor!

Boss...

- ...We have a problem!
- What?

We have less than a minute,
then the b*mb's gonna blow up.

We're in position,
what's the problem?

Trevor's the one
taking it in.

What?

Goddammit.

Trevor, what are you doing?

Abby went Messenger...

"Traveler 0115,
complete the mission."

That's what it said.

Who cares what it said?
We'll find another way!

Trevor!

Trevor!

Trevor!

We're down to seconds!

We don't have time!

That's enough.

Both missions
depend on this happening.

So long, guys.

Boss, help me out here!

Trevor,
you know what to do.

What? No!

Come on!

This...

...Is a unique time
in human history.

Humanity is at a tipping point.

This is a time in which
people of the future will ask,

"Did you act?

Or did you stand idly by?"

Where's
the diversion?

Stand by.
Trevor, it's time.

Boss, it won't detonate.

Where were you
when it was us or them?

Because we must protect...

He's having
a heart att*ck.

Call it now.

He's dying anyway.

We...

must protect

humanity's future...

Regardless
of our political beliefs.

Regardless of our religion...

The color of our skin.

Regardless

of personal cost.

He won't die a martyr
if he has a heart att*ck.

This is
the whole point.

I won't make it out.

I got your back.
Take the sh*t.

Now is the time for us...

There! Over there!
I saw the sh**t!

Get in.

Keep your head down.

Stay back!

Make some room!

He's gone.

What took you
so long?

We, uh, had to take care
of Abby's body

before we came back.

So what went wrong?

It was
deactivated remotely.

By me.

What?

I wasn't gonna let him
die for nothing.

Like Abby?

It wasn't
for nothing,

or we wouldn't have been
given the mission!

Galston's
competition

is weeks away from
their own prototype.

And come on, people.

Ted Bishop's
assassination

isn't gonna
inspire a movement.

That's not for you
to decide.

Well, I did.
And it's done.

We could easily have
lost one team member

to save another.

Without that diversion,

Carly was completely exposed
after she fired.

You hung me
out to dry.

And I see
you made it.

That's not
the point, Philip!

You undermined
a direct order...

You mean like the order
the Director gave you?

'Cause, if memory serves...
And hey, it usually does...

You were given
explicit order.

"k*ll 3468."

But hey, maybe she just hasn't
gotten around to it.

This isn't funny.

You look me in the eye
and you tell me

I am the only one
on this team

who's improvised.

Tell me.

I am the only one

that's broken
the rules.

I can hack into Galston

and wipe
all their data on C589.

We can even get
another b*mb in there.

But there are other ways
to do this.

And if we get the mission,

then that's what
we'll do.

It's out of
our hands now.

Protocol 5
until further notice.

I should add,

despite my apparent
protestations to the contrary,

I'm very glad
you're still alive.

Thank you.

You too.

Mac.

Get me one of
her folic acid pills.

If we're going to swap out
a medication

to prevent a miscarriage,

it'll need
to look identical.

I didn't think
you were gonna do this.

I'm a doctor.

I help people.

I took that oath first.

You know,
technically, that's not...

Okay, then...
I'm improvising.

Thank you.

Hey.
Can I get a ride?

Sure.
Van's out front.

Where to?

Honestly?

I don't really feel
like going home.

I know
just where that is.

Come on.

Kat?

Kat? You home?

Hey. Perfect timing.

I was just
thinking about you.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Long day.

Come on.

We'll be in my room.

Answer the phone
if Mom calls.

Chloe?

Okay.

Ready?

How did you even
find this place?

They're turning

this old
government building

into condos soon.

Jeff brought me here
to look at the view...

Mm.

Wants to buy one.

Seems like this address

might be a little
out of your price range.

Everything he likes

is a little out
of our price range.

Likes to dream,
that man.

So... you two?

We three.

That child is why
we're doing this.

That's
the only reason.

Is it?

He did stop drinking.

I got a zero-tolerance
thing going.

We both love
that boy, so.

Hmm.

I met a guy.

You did?

Doctor.

Well, at least you have
something in common.

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't really think
there's anything there.

Galston Agriculture's
that way.

Trevor?

Trevor,
where are you?

Come in!

Trevor?

Sorry,
I was visiting my parents.

Couldn't talk.
You guys hear that?

Yeah.
We saw it.

Had to be
Galston.

Someone just
completed our mission.

Traveler 3326,

Biosynthesis
