Travelers

Previously, on Travelers...

It could correct your condition.

What about all my memories of the 21st?

Obviously, none of that.

I loved you so much.

They're his memories, not yours.

If something doesn't work out the way you want it to,

why don't you just go back and try again?

We can only go as far back

as the arrival point of the most recent Traveler.

There's no do-overs.

Messengers count.

Messengers cause

the same ripples in space-time as Travelers.

She won't be me.

She won't remember...

the most important part of who I am now.

I'll meet you outside Ops.

Copy that.

_

Oh! That's the boss!

Road trip.

You're such a kid.

Yeah, on the outside.

What's that? Boop!

What a freak, man.

_

What?

Oh...

Wow. They're beautiful.

Thank you.

Mom.

Mom remembered.

"Happy...

"anniversary...

Grant."

No service?

Not one bar.

Should've called when we stopped at that gas station.

Told you.

Yeah, then we got lost.

How long till impact?

23 minutes, 6 seconds.

...Ish?

No, pretty much exactly.

I'll have to call her after the mission.

I don't understand the big deal about anniversaries anyway.

My father missed their 25th

a few months back.

And?

Gary paid a heavy price, boss.

Fortunately, Kat's a reasonable person.

Ah, reason's got nothin' to do with it.

You're already in the doghouse.

Oh, come on.

No, she's right.

Your window was early this morning.

It's already closed.

How do you know this information?

Covered it in training.

"21st-Century Female Behavior."

Ah. Well, I'll buy her flowers, then.

What anniversary is it?

- 10 years. - Yikes.

Whoa.

Ah, you're screwing with me now.

No, 10's a big one. Even I know that.

Okay, well, help me out.

What's an appropriate gift for 10 years?

Tin.

- Yeah, 10. - No, "tin."

- As in the metal. - Tin?

That's the traditional gift.

I'm supposed to give her something made from tin?

If you're a traditionalist, yes.

There's a more modern anniversary theme for 10 years,

but you're not gonna like it.

Diamonds.

Now I know you're making this up.

Technically, diamond jewelry.

Yes.

- Seriously? - You might've gotten away...

...With flowers, if you'd called.

"Get away with flowers if you called."

Where does it come down?

600 meters to our south-southwest,

in seven minutes, eight seconds.

There-ish.

It's amazing

this becomes a dry lakebed in 50 years.

Do we need to worry about a wave?

Nah.

Probably a splash, but it's not too big.

Just extremely rare and important

to the future.

More rare than that other mineral... what was it?

Diamond?

That's the one.

All right, all right.

Let's get the recovery gear ready

and make sure everything's working.

The Director gave us an important mission.

Let's get it right.

No!

No!

Ah!

You've reached Special Agent Grant MacLaren.

Please leave a message.

Wakefield.

This is an emergency communication,

Protocol Alpha.

Protocol Alpha? Who is this?

This is Traveler 5001.

We have less than 60 seconds before signal loss.

I'm listening.

I need armed air assets

to the following coordinates A.S.A.P...

49.3506 degrees north,

122.8599 degrees west.

Can you do this?

Possibly. I have a helicopter

already in the air with agents aboard,

but they're not Travelers.

I said Protocol Alpha!

Can you get them to these coordinates

in 17 minutes?

Negative. Best case is... is 25 to 30.

What about assets on the ground?

25 minutes is our closest anything.

You're talking the middle of nowhere.

I do have agents on the ground within roughly...

Hello?

Give me your keys!

Heh. Right.

How 'bout we just wait

till your little brother touches down?

It's an emergency! Give me the keys.

They're in the ignition.

Wait. What emergency?

Carrie, what's wrong?

Just tell me what's going on!

I'll drive you myself!

Carrie!

Carrie!

Wayne! Your sister just took my car!

You've reached Special Agent Grant MacLaren.

Please leave a...

No service?

Not one bar.

Should've called

when we stopped at that gas station.

I told you.

Yeah, then we got lost.

How long till meteor impact?

22 minutes, 51 seconds.

...Ish?

No, pretty much exactly.

I'll call her after the mission.

I don't understand the big deal about

anniversaries anyway.

My father forgot their 25th

a few months back.

And?

Gary paid a heavy price, boss.

Luckily, Kat's a reasonable person.

Reason's got nothing to do with it.

You're already doomed.

Oh, my gosh. That's a big gun.

Um... am I on private property right now?

I'm so lost.

You... You want me to go back?

Okay, I can... I can do that.

Um, can you just tell me where Alouette Lake is?

Are you telling me the lake's back that way,

or are you still telling me to turn around?

Okay.

Jesus.

Callahan!

What is it?

Where did the Fraser meteor come down?

A dry lakebed just north-east of here. Why?

It wasn't dry this early in the 21st.

What's going on?

I just got off the phone with a Traveler

who requested armed assets to the exact same coordinates

the meteor was historically found

50 years from now.

We got cut off,

but she said it was Protocol Alpha.

How's that possible?

What would've happened if Robert Fraser

hadn't discovered that element in 2068?

There'd be no room-temperature superconductor

for quantum processing,

no leap in artificial intelligence,

no consciousness-transfer technology...

No Director.

Do we know when the meteor came down?

I'm no historian,

but I'm about to bet my job at the FBI
