It's really nice to

have someone who cares.

To get back down here,

I had to cross some powerful people.

[DART WHOOSHING] Ah!

Petra was worried that

they'd come after her.

They must be from the base.

I want to expand your mind

and guide you to the

memories you've lost.

I think I was stealing

some kind of microchip.

The military was

weaponizing time travel.

That microchip contains all

the code to make it possible.

The chip is the key to all of it.

You said you didn't know

why your program was interested in me.

What else have you been lying about?

I'm gonna tell him what's happening.

You're not going anywhere.

Where's Scott?

I tried to fight them off,

but they took him.

It was the people from the base.

We came up with a plan

to dismantle the

project from the inside.

Kevin, I'm your sister.

You're the only family

I have in this world.

We have to shut down the project,

and to do that, we have to go to 1965.

We need to get that

microchip back to 10,000 BC.

Eve's life depends on it.
