I'll always love you,...

...so let's just go, all right?

We don't need any of this.

We don't need anything.

Just walk out the door...

...and we go.

Okay, that's it.

(Cassie)

And change the outcome.

Okay. Okay.

(Cassie) That is what

I have been trying...

...to do, Brian, because

then you don't die.

Wait, what do you mean I die?

You die, Brian.

You get shot.

You get shot with this gun.

That is what I have been

trying to tell you.

But I am not gonna let that happen.

No bullets.

No bullets, okay,

you don't.. you don't--

You don't get shot, you don't die,

and you don't die,...

...then maybe we can change the outcome.

Brian?

Baby, I don't get shot.

(Cassie) What?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Baby? Baby, baby,

lay down, babe.

[music playing]

Brian?

Brian!

[music playing]

[door opens]

(Lewis) No.

(Dr. Miles)

Dammit, not again.

All right, sedate her and get the truck.

Administer another ESR

treatment then bring her...

- ...to the secondary location.

- (Lewis) Okay.

(Dr. Miles)

I'll clean up this mess.

(Lewis) Up, up.

Clear.

All right, let's go.

[engine revs]

[machine whirring]

Ready?

(Cassie groans)

What is this?

It's a safe place.

Look, uh,...

...I know this is difficult,...

...but I want to help.

Electroshock helps?

(Dr. Miles)

Electrostatic Reorientation,...

...it helps align you

with the time gradient...

...but, uh, you know

that already, don't you?

What else do you remember?

Brian Chance?

Yes.

You remember Brian?

Of course.

He was my boyfriend.

Yes.

He's dead.

Indeed.

You cared about him.

What?

This is more than just business,...

...you actually care.

Who are you,...

...really?

I think you know the answer

to that, Cassie.

Did Brian?

No.

And I.. and I want it to stay that way.

Look, I was young.

You know, I was ambitious.

I was--

I was very much like you.

And, uh, well, motherhood didn't--

Motherhood didn't fit

into my grand plan.

But I loved Brian.

Very much.

Very much.

Which is why, you must

remember the equation.

You must.

Restore the balance...

...and you'll reset the timeline,...

...you'll save Brian.

This isn't the same.

Hmm?

This place, this is different

than last time.

Yeah.

This is my mom's?

(Dr. Miles)

Yes, yes, it is.

I, uh,...

...I thought if I gave you

something familiar to sort of--

(Cassie) Trigger something.

Yeah.

Cassie, no!

I cannot trust you with that equation.

Then trust yourself.

You have the answer.

You have it.

You just got to find the negation point.

It'll give you the probable time...

...and place you need to be.

You must find it.

You must negate.

[music playing]

(Cassie) This isn't right.

[door creaks]

(Cassie) Brian?

Brian!

(Cassie gasps)

Brian?

Brian, if that's you I'm--

Hey!

[music playing]

Negation, negation.

Ah, okay.

(Cassie coughing)

[coughs]

[knocking on door]

(Cassie) Professor Deckard?

Professor Deckard, I know you're home.

[doorbell dings]

(Cassie) Professor!

How?

(Deckard)

What?

Negation.

I know when and where,...

...but how do I negate?

(Deckard)

You shouldn't be here.

Professor, I need your help.

You still don't realize

there's too much of you...

...in this place, Cassandra,...

...and we're all paying the price.

You broke the rules, dear.

You tried to do something...

...that's not allowed.

You can't travel in time...

...without changes in causation.

Did you think there'd be

no consequences?

Then tell me what I need to do.

The temporal force is weakened.

The probabilistic inertia

is losing its integrity,...

...the field will rupture.

I need to repair the mess you wrought.

Force a correction, and then ride out...

...the resulting sh*t storm back

to the beginning...

...in my own ice bath...

...and make sure you never initiate,...

...like I should've done

in the first place.

This does not end well for you.

I've got to repair the breach.

Or the Initiative will lose

its precious defense funding?

You created a split.

More than one.

None of them are stable,...

...none of them are complete.

It's you, Cassandra.

It's you that must be negated.

- (Jacob) Hey, Einstein.

- Hey.

(Jacob) Hey, so you know

what you said about...

...negation points, right?

Where you have a photon...

...and you split it

and it turns into a positron...

...and an electron pair,

and they circle back around...

...and destroy each other, right?

- Right.

- Okay.

So, when it negates,...

...it creates a photon back in time...

...which may be the original photon.

- Right.

- Okay. So, check this out.

Some believe that

the photon may carry...

...the experiences

of the Particle Pair...

...a.k.a. it remembers the future.

And then, could alter that future.

Listen to me.

Do not let Deckard go through...

...with what he is doing in there.

You need to stop him, now.

But what are you gonna do?

I need to borrow your bike.

So, if the new photon

carries the experiences...

...of the time traveling pair,...

...I need to save Brian.

I need to at least change that outcome.

Brian.

Hey.

Change of plans.

Don't go to the hotel.

Why?

Just meet me at urgent care.

Why, are you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine just trust me.

Oh, okay.

Okay.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Be there.

All right.

Thief of time.

(Cassie) What did you say?

[music playing]

Hey! Hey, what are you doing?

What are you.. what..

Who are you?

- What are you--

- Cassie, Cassie, it's me.

Oh, dad, you son of a b*tch!

Okay.

Okay.

I deserved that. But you

know what, you're no saint.

Wonder where I got that imprint.

Fair enough.

I've caused a lot of damage,...

...especially between us...

...and for that, I am deeply sorry,...

...but I did not give

your mother cancer...

...and I most certainly

did not cause all of this,...

...I've been trying to correct it.

By pretending to be homeless?

They came after me.

I needed to be invisible.

Nobody sees the homeless.

This photo was taken a year...

...before mom died.

But you wouldn't know that...

...because you left.

All she wanted to do was see

the ocean one last time...

...and I couldn't even give her that.

Do you know how that makes me feel?

Carrying that weight around?

Actually, I do.

Look at the date stamp.

[music playing]

I don't understand.

This is only two weeks before she died.

Because you did it.

You defeated the paradox, Cassie.

I've been shadowing you.

Watching your progress

each time through,...

...seeing you learn a little bit more.

Each time getting closer to the truth.

Making sure the Initiative didn't.

Why do you think

I removed those videos...

...from your server?

So, the ice baths--

To protect you from dilation.

Slows your body's molecular process.

But it didn't work on Deckard.

Of course, it didn't.

Magnetic field is programmed...

...to your Cryptochrome Proteins.

Cryptochromes?

What helps birds orient

during migration?

Exactly.

So, theoretically,

we could adapt our own...
