After recovering he saw that Lester had sent Ryan and an armed team through the anomaly and brought Helen back by force. As she was carted off to the Home Office, Cutter looked on in horror. While Helen was being interrogated, Cutter, Stephen, Connor and Abby responded to a creature call though it was only a relatively harmless, modern-day python. Claudia called to ask for his help in talking to Helen, and he agreed. Helen initially accused him of setting her up, before abruptly warning Cutter that "a pride of sabre-toothed killers will be rampaging through Central London".
Helen led the team to the kitchens of a deserted football stadium where they found an anomaly, but no sabre-toothed cats. While the team prepared, Helen escaped through the anomaly, and Cutter was prevented from going through. Later a flock of curious Dodos come through and they realize Helen's story about sabre-toothed cats was a bluff. The team return all the dodos through the anomaly, save for one which had mysteriously died. Back at the Home Office, Cutter, Abby and Stephen are about to perform an autopsy on the dodo, when a strange, worm-like creature slithers out of its beak.
After some study, Cutter told Lester that the creature is a highly dangerous parasite that destroys its host's body, keeping them alive just long enough to reproduce itself and once that is achieved, parasite and host die together. Just then they receive information from Connor that his friends Tom and Duncan have captured a dodo, and Connor suspects that Tom has been infected with a parasite.
The team head over there, and find the dodo's dead body, but not Tom. Seeing a broken light bulb by the dodo's body, Cutter realized that the parasite is light-sensitive and wherever Tom is, he'll be trying to stay in the dark. He warned Lester that they had to find Tom before he infected anyone else or they would have a pandemic. Lester agrees, though he thought the whole situation was part of Helen's 'twisted plan' and Cutter tried to defend his wife. Upon realizing that they need to understand more about what Tom is thinking, Cutter and Stephen talked to Connor and Duncan, who explained that Tom would likely be tracking the device that they used to find the dodo.
It transpires that Tom goes after Abby, who ends up being chased round the football stadium by an increasingly vicious Tom. A grief-stricken Connor tried to resign, but Cutter, in a display of remarkable compassion, told Connor "There's a handful of people in the whole world who know exactly what we're dealing with and you're one of them.
He would have loved it, it would have made his day. So you can't back out now". Cutter then consoles an upset Connor, who agrees to stay. Lester has been piling the pressure on Claudia to get answers from Cutter about the Anomalies but he has no response.
Meanwhile, at a nearby golf course, the discovery of a murdered golfer brings the team in. Cutter examined the body and concluded that the man was torn apart by something of phenomenal power and savagery However, when Cutter, Abby and Stephen scour the surrounding countryside, they can find no trace of an anomaly, but there is a strong magnetic field present.
Cutter noticed there was no sound: the birds and insects have all been scared off. Looking up, they saw the anomaly was in the sky. While Cutter wondered where the creature has gone, Stephen spotted a Pteranodon swooping straight for them, skimming over their heads before flying off. The Pteranodon was apparently attacking Connor, and Cutter prevented Ryan from shooting it, thinking that something wasn't right. The Pteranodon escaped and Cutter and Stephen give chase with Claudia in tow.
The Pteranodon is caught and tranquilized but not before Claudia is knocked out by its flailing beak. Cutter was there to comfort her at the clubhouse before realizing she was temporarily blind. Stephen called to confirm Cutter's theory: the Pteranodon didn't harm the golfer, and it wasn't after Connor, but Rex whom Abby had secretly been keeping.
Cutter and a still-blinded Claudia, soaked in blood, swiftly found themselves under attack from a flock of flesh-eating Anurognathus. After being chased around the house, Cutter attempted to escape to get help, leaving Claudia in a secure room, kissing her before he leaves. Escaping into an ambulance he calls the others for help and uses an oxygen tank a a mini flamethrower to kill some of the small pterosaurs.
He initially assumed Claudia had been killed when the building exploded, but was relieved to discover she was alive and shocked to discover that she was rescued by Helen. The team meet up at the anomaly and release the Pteranodon. Cutter used a red flag to draw in the creature which was how he and Stephen managed to capture it earlier and watched as it flew back home just before the anomaly shut.
Cutter spoke with Claudia on the recent events, and though he claimed that he and Helen could have repaired their relationship with counselling before she disappeared, but found it hard to speak about his feelings with Claudia, made more awkward following their kiss.
Helen returned, claiming to know the reason behind recent disappearances: a incredibly dangerous predator which is lightening fast, ruthless, almost invisible until the moment of attack and has near-human levels of intelligence. But worst of all is that this creature is from the Future, literally years ahead of them - a Future Predator. While searching to kill it due to it being too dangerous and not affecting the timeline with its death the creature attacked and bested them.
Then Cutter and Connor realized it is a highly-evolved form of bat, using echolocation to always stay one step ahead of its prey. They use an oscilloscope to hunt down the Predator's lair, where they find a nest of baby predators. Then a Predator attacked, so Cutter kidnapped one of the babies to lure the creature away into a greenhouse. He starts shooting at the glass panels to confuse the creature's echolocation, and then finishes it off with a shot to the head.
The babies are all captured and Helen convinced everyone that they can use the babies to find the future anomaly and secure it permanently. To get to the future anomaly they have to travel into the original anomaly in the Forest of Dean.
Cutter, Helen, Ryan and his men prepared to enter the anomaly with the infants. Just before they leave, Claudia walks up to Cutter and kisses him, right in front of Helen. Once they had made a camp, Cutter takes some souvenir photos of Helen. With a shock he realizes that the photos he had just taken were the same ones that he had found in Helen's camera on the first mission into the Permian. He is horrified, as this means that they have created their own past.
Suddenly another Future Predator attacks - the remaining parent of the babies. It tears though Ryan and his men, but as it prepares to attack Cutter, a Gorgonopsid appeared. The two beasts fought, ending when the Gorgonopsid crushes the Future Predator under its own body.
Cutter goes over to Ryan, realizing that the body they found the first time was his. Cutter and Helen bury the men killed in the attack, and then return home. Cutter tells everyone no one was going back, but Helen had one final blow to deliver. She wished to return through the anomalies, but this time with Stephen, revealing the two had had an affair before she had disappeared, and although Cutter was furious that it had been kept from him Stephen decides to stay in the present day.
Helen left, and Cutter realizes that Claudia wasn't there. When he asks the team where she is they say they don't know anyone called Claudia Brown.
Cutter quickly realized that something had changed which resulted in Claudia Brown never existing, and turned to the anomaly Cutter tried to go back through the anomaly, desperate to make things right again, but Stephen and Connor held him back as it closed. Cutter realized the full extent of the changes that have occurred to his world; for one thing the Home Office was no longer the team base, instead the they have an incredibly hi-tech, highly sophisticated facility called the Anomaly Research Centre, or ARC.
There was also a whole new team of secondary staff working for them, primarily Oliver Leek, the man now doing Claudia Brown's job. Cutter tried to tell the team about his theory of the past being changed, but everyone thought he was going mad - except for Connor, who believes him. The team got a call about an incursion at a shopping centre so Cutter, Stephen, Connor and Abby went over there and armed themselves with tranquilizers, as Cutter is adamant that they can't kill any more creatures as it risks changing the past.
Stephen tried to explain his affair with Helen, but Cutter was unwilling to confront the issue. They eventually find three Deinonychus in the mall: two adults and one child, and are attacked. When Connor and Abby go off to evacuate a cleaner, Cutter and Stephen are attacked by one of the raptors, but when Cutter tries to tranquilize it the gun jams. Stephen accused him of intentionally allowing the creature to kill him in revenge, but Cutter rebuffed the claim on the grounds that if he wanted Stephen dead, he'd have shot him personally.
The creature attacked again and it was successfully tranquilized by Stephen only after he realizes that the gun was actually jammed. Nick then forgave Stephen for his affair with Helen, since he didn't go with Helen and stayed when it really mattered.
Connor brings back the baby raptor. The team tie it up, hoping that it would draw in the remaining adult. The plan failed as the tranquilizer wasn't enough and the adult raptor devoured the baby, and Cutter and Stephen argued over using real ammunition.
After a lengthy chase the creature is tranquilized. Cutter noticed that all the radios were suffering from some interference on the He theorized that they could build a receiver tuned in to that frequency that would alert them whenever any interference occurs - an anomaly detector.
Cutter decided to take the raptors back through the anomaly but alone. After freeing the creatures he stops he starts to walk away from the anomaly and his past life, but Stephen, having expected Cutter to do something like this, tries to get him to come back. Cutter stated that he wanted to travel through the anomalies, find out what went wrong and put it right, but Stephen convinced him to return, on account of the fact he has work to do, and the fear that by meddling with the anomalies he could potentially change things for the worse - even wipe out humanity - and still not get Claudia back.
They start to go back, but the now awake raptors come after them. They eventually get back through safely.
Cutter struggled to cope with the appearance of Jenny Lewis and began to expand on this idea to the team, but Connor prevented his professor from embarrassing himself even further, and urged him not to mention the subject again until he had proof.
Cutter and Connor later got down to the serious work of trying to build an anomaly detector system. Lester was skeptical but reluctantly agreed to giving them a budget. As Cutter decided to talk to Jenny, the team received a creature alert in a high-rise city centre office block. Cutter was intrigued by Jenny's demeanor when they arrived, and he and Stephen entered the building to find it filled with a thick fog.
Rescuing a firewoman from a giant, carnivorous Worm, Cutter speculated the anomaly lead to somewhere in the Precambrian and that the worms cant breathe without the fog. While trying to make their way up, Stephen gets lost and Cutter has to flee. Jenny, who was completely disbelieving about the team fighting prehistoric creatures, entered the building and had to be rescued by Cutter, who used a samurai sword to attack a worm.
Though initially furious at her, for defying his orders and for replacing Claudia, he came to respect her determination to help. While sending Connor and Abby to turn up the heating in the building to remove the fog, he and Jenny went to find Stephen, who was surrounded by worms.
As the fog lifted, the heat caused the creatures to explode, shooting their parasitic young all over the room. Cutter warned everyone not to let them break the skin, and after setting off the building's fire control system, the worms fall to the ground where they die.
Later Stephen offered his opinion that the anomaly's were a test for humanity, but Cutter dismissed him. Connor presented his Anomaly Detection Device to the team, and Cutter was impressed by his work, although it appeared to not work as the team learned that a paintballer at Blue Sky Theme Park had been mauled to death.
Examining the body, he and Abby realized it was a big cat, and though insistent that the park should be shut down, Jenny and Park Manager Peter Campbell refused, believing it would draw too much attention from the press.
The team went looking for the creature, and took a detour with Jenny to investigate West, a man who used to illegally breed lions but no longer did, and was unimpressed by Jenny's methods of flirting.
Campbell was killed at a nearby railway station by the beast, and the incident was recorded on video by a trainspotter. Upon examining the footage Cutter discovers that the killer is an enormous Smilodon. The team prepared traps to catch the creature, but Cutter noticed a man's body buried in the pit. They were then attacked by the creature, who was patrolling its territory.
Abby distracted it with a mechanical digger while Cutter climbed onto an zipwire slung between the trees, and used it to get it into a safe position for Abby to tranquilize it, only for it to escape. Examining the body, Cutter determined the Smilodon had done it, but someone knew about it and had buried the body. While the others went to check on West, Cutter found a photo of Valerie Irwin, the park's deputy manager, in the dead man's wallet.
While searching her house he realized the creature had come through an anomaly years before and she had been looking after it. Professor Nick Cutter : [about the loose predator] What is it? Helen Cutter : It has no name. Professor Nick Cutter : Then which era is it from? Helen Cutter : It doesn't come from any era Professor Nick Cutter : I'm sorry; I don't understand. Helen Cutter : Yes, you do, Nick. You knew it had to happen one day. You've known it ever since you first stepped into the past.
Professor Nick Cutter The future? Are you saying we're being attacked by a creature from the future? Stephen Hart : What we need is some kind of edge, a weakness in its defenses that gives us an advantage, otherwise it's just gonna pick us off one-by-one. Connor Temple : Dogs. The dogs went crazy before it attacked. What would make them go off like that? Stephen Hart : Can't be smell. If there was a scent trail, they would have followed it. Professor Nick Cutter : Hearing.
They heard something. Connor Temple : Sound. It's using sound. Professor Nick Cutter : That's why it was able to remain one step ahead of us! It can detect physical movement before it's within visual range! Connor Temple : And the dogs, they detect a higher frequency, therefore they know when it's nearby! Captain Ryan : Like echolocation? Professor Nick Cutter : High frequency sound waves, it's like a sonar system. Some animals use it to detect prey. Stephen Hart : Like a bat.
Well, you said there was bat blood in the lion enclosure. Connor Temple : That's it. This thing must be some kind of I dunno, super-bat. Helen Cutter : He's right. Three quarters of all mammal species are bats or rats; maybe the future belongs to them. Professor Nick Cutter : I gave up trying to predict Helen's behaviour when she swapped our marriage for a packaged tour into the Permian Era. Claudia Brown : Maybe it was just a cry for help. Professor Nick Cutter : Counselling would have been simpler.
Claudia Brown : Nick Cutter talking about his feelings? I don't think so. Professor Nick Cutter : Try me. Ask me anything, anything you like. Claudia Brown : Do you still love her? Ask me another one. Stephen Hart : When you put it like that, it sounds so easy. Professor Nick Cutter : I'm going to do this on my own. Abby Maitland : We'll help. Connor Temple : Who's "we"? Abby Maitland : Cutter, I've been meaning to ask you.
This Claudia Brown. What was she like? Professor Nick Cutter : What does it matter? I mean, to you she never even existed. Abby Maitland : Tell me anyway. Good at her job. Team player. Not as tough as she pretended to be, but she was strong when it mattered. Abby Maitland : She meant a lot to you. Abby Maitland : Sorry. Professor Nick Cutter : What for? Abby Maitland : That I didn't know her and 'cause you lost her. Professor Nick Cutter : The place is clean and the anomaly's gone.
You can give the all clear. James Lester : Excellent. We'll handle it from here. Oh, good work, by the way. That could have been very nasty. Professor Nick Cutter : Indeed. James Lester : You know you deserve a rest, and a chance to recover. Take an hour. No, let's not be mean, take two. Sign In. Showing all 20 items. Jump to: Photos 7 Quotes Create a list ».
