Story:

Captain Becker was made the teams 'Bodyguard' in episode 1 of series 3. Becker helped get the Pristichampus back through the anomaly, but really did not want to bow to it. He and Connor managed to capture a Diictodon in a hospital, but then went on to find where Nick and Abby were. Captain Becker helped on many other missions too. When the ARC was taken over by Christine Johnson in episode 6 of season 3, Becker pretended to be loyal to her and captured Abby, Danny, Sarah and Connor, who had hidden with the artifact. Becker recorded Christine abusing the minister, and sent the recording to Lester who sent it to the Minister, who put Lester back in charge.

Becker, like Captain Ryan from series 1, was told off my other members of the team for shooting the creatures that came through the anomalies. These included a Dracorex and a herd of Embolotherium. When Abby's brother Jack went through an anomaly, Becker went with the others to rescue him. Becker distracted the future predators when they closed in on the others who were saving Jack. The others thought Becker was dead, but he survived and turned up later to save their lives again. Becker met Helen Cutter and attempted to save Christine Johnson from the future predators when Helen kicked her through an anomaly. However, the anomaly closed after Christine was dragged through. Danny decided that they must follow Helen through the anomalies, to stop her changing time.

Becker and Sarah went to investigate Johnson's anomaly, which had reopened, while the others followed Helen. Becker and Sarah managed to defeat the Megaoptra which came through Johnson's anomaly, but the others did not return from the future. Sarah and Becker tried to find them in the future, but all rescue attempts failed, and after Sarah was killed the ARC's activities were suspended. Becker resigned, but reconsidered after Lester said that he wanted Becker back and was welcomed to the new half privately owned ARC by Jess. He was at first hostile to Matt, the new team leader, but later accepted him.
