Complete story — includes the ending

Ramse is sent to 1944 to rescue Cole and Cassie. Though unable to stop Tommy's murder, he frees them from FBI agent Robert Gale. Gale deduces Cole is a time traveler and lets him interrogate the female Messenger who killed Tommy. She reveals that the Witness seeks to destroy time itself, then escapes. After the three travelers return to 2044, Gale leaves Cole and Cassie's photo in the Emerson Hotel for Cole to find in 2016. In 2044, a baffled Jones turns to Jennifer for help as the temporal anomaly grows. In a drug-induced vision about the nature of time, she learns that the Army plans to destroy time by killing the Primaries. Upon returning, Cole, Cassie, and Ramse grudgingly agree to work together to save the Primaries. In 1971, the female Messenger dies after inducting her son, the Pallid Man, into the Army. In 2016, Jennifer checks herself into a mental clinic as the Pallid Man watches outside.
