Complete story — includes the ending

In 2016, Cole and Ramse are on the run from the Army. They ask Benjamin Kalman, an ex-Markridge scientist, to remove a tracking device from Ramse. Kalman, who is still in the Army's employ, paralyzes Ramse and reveals that Jennifer Goines will release the plague in New York. Cole disposes of Kalman, and Ramse decides to accompany him to New York to find Jennifer. In 2043, the Messengers, the mysterious group of 12, use the time machine to send 6 of their members to other times. Cassie, now imprisoned by the Messengers, offers to treat Deacon's chronic illness if he helps stop them; he frees her and has the West VII blow up the time machine, killing the remaining Messengers. Back in 2016, Cole tracks Jennifer down and urges her not to release the virus. Agents of the Army interrupt and attempt to kill Cole, but Cassie splinters in from 2044 and shoots them, telling Cole that she and Jones deduced that Jennifer started the plague. She prepares to shoot Jennifer, but Cole raises his own gun to stop her, ending in a standoff.
