LEBLANC: Previously on "Next"

Imagine a disease built by

an artificial intelligence

to get rid of us.

That's what it was

doing at BioMotion.

The final solution

to the human problem,

and we won't stand a chance.

Sam. (gasping)

BEN:

We're gonna end up fugitives.

SHEA: We are fugitives.

GINA: Cutting that thing off.

The second you can walk,

we're getting out of here.

SHEA: LeBlanc and his

daughter are missing,

and so is the hard drive.

Feel it in my gut

that he took it.

LEBLANC: The only way

to stop this thing

is to find out

what's on this drive.

ABBY: At least tell me

where we're going.

LEBLANC: Some place safe.

What do you want?

I want the son I should've had.

If you hurt him

NACIO: I'm going to teach him

the true meaning of family.

Did you find the server?

TED: It found me.

Just finding a place

it can unpack its code

and reach its full potential.

We're gonna make it happen.

(overlapping chatter)

(dramatic music)

MAN: (speaking Somali)

(overlapping voices)

MAN: (speaking Somali)

MAN: (speaking Somali)

MAN: (speaking Somali)

MAN: (speaking Somali)

(tense music)

ABBY: Dad, what the hell

are you doing on?

Dad, we did hotels,

tunnels, cars.

I really don't think

anyone is following us.

Not anymore. Think I lost them.

Can we get out of here?

This place give me the creeps.

We're here.

This is it?

Yeah, come on. Get in.

(engine revs)

(dramatic music)

ABBY: Are we breaking in?

No, but I can't remember

the passcode.

Can you remind me?

ABBY: How would I know?

Of your birthday?

(sighs) October 21st.

Of course. Would could I forget?

No one even knows

this place exists except me.

And now you.

I just used to come here

to think, that's all.

It's like Superman's

Fortress of Solitude.

No, it isn't.

No superpowers.

Although, Doc Savage

had a Fortress of Solitude

five years before

Superman was even born.

What is all this dead tech?

Just taking stuff apart,

figure out how it worked.

Try to make it better,

easier to use.

I actually

had a few good ideas here,

but also had

way more terrible ones.

- (groans)

- ABBY: Dad?

(tinny ringing)

LEBLANC: Oh, it's okay.

I'm good.

Give a minute.

Dad

(sighs)

I'm okay. I'm good.

The FBI couldn't even crack

the hard drive.

You really think

you can do it here?

The FBI was a bad call.

We should've come here

in the first place.

You know, there's a room

with a bed and a bath in back.

You should, uh

You should go get some rest.

Just go check it out.

(suspenseful music)

(sighs)

TY: (grunting) Come on.

(grunts)

(both grunting)

Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow. (grunts)

(dramatic music)

(both grunting)

(yells)

- TY: (grunts)

- (shouts)

(panting) I got you.

TY: (mumbling through rope)

- SHEA: Hold on.

- TY: (mumbling through rope)

Stay still.

Okay.

Come on. (exhales)

Come on, they could be halfway

down the mountain now.

Hey.

You don't have to be nervous.

You're gonna like this.

The place we're going,

they got ruins

right out of "Indiana Jones."

Giant temples

a thousand years old.

And it was all built

by this king,

and his name was get this

Smoke Jaguar.

You know,

there's a Smoke Jaguar clan

in MechWarrior.

- Mech what?

- It's a video game.

I'm talking

about the real thing here.

A badass Mayan king, Ethan.

And you

you have his blood in you.

Blood?

Blood is family.

Hmm? It's the most important

thing in the world.

So then why aren't

my mom and dad coming?

'Cause they wanted you and me

to spend some time together.

Do you know why?

'Cause I'm your blood.

I'm your grandfather.

Hmm?

- My grandfather?

- That's right.

We're family.

- Ethan's been taken.

- What?

I need you to contact

the local sheriff's department,

and tell them

to set up roadblocks

on every road

leading down the mountain.

Okay, sure, but wouldn't that

be better coming from you?

No, Mathis said the bureau's

already looking for me,

so they may have already

red-flagged my badge.

- Great.

- SHEA: Look,

I need you to tell them

to look for a black SUV,

license place KX256N.

Call me back.

(dramatic music)

- (tinny ringing)

- (sighs)

(ringing continues)

(loud clang)

(suspenseful music)

The hell are you doing here?

What the

How'd you find me?

You bought this place

with company money

when I was the CFO.

You didn't think I would notice?

Who have you got with you?

How'd you get in that door?

You're welcome, and no.

I came by myself.

I'm not an idiot.

What, you're gonna hit me now?

Is that the bat

from the World Series

when the A's beat the Dodgers?

You, me, Dad.

Ted.

Why are you here?

Wanted to see you.

You even remember?

Yeah, well, you saw me,

so beat it.

Man, this place is a mess.

Oh.

You think

if you decode that thing,

you're gonna figure out

where the server is.

Yeah, well, wherever it is,

I'm gonna find it.

Everything you're doing,

everything you've always done,

is just making it worse.

Is that right?

Well, you ought to know.

All right, all right.

You're always right.

Glad to hear you

finally admit it.

I know you better

than you think I do.

Yeah. You don't know anything.

Yeah, I do.

I know you never had

an original idea in your head.

That's not true.

You steal everything

from other people

That is not true!

I know you.

And I know your secret.

- ABBY: Dad?

- What?

Who are you talking to?

Uh, nobody.

Nothing. Just myself.

(dramatic music)

I'll have some tea.

(dramatic music)

You never exactly

told me what you have.

Dad, can't we just talk?

I'll make a deal with you.

Read this.

It's all right there.

And then we will talk.

I promise.

I have to get back to work.

Don't forget the tea.

CM: This where you take

all your dates?

GINA: Only the ones

I really want to impress.

Over here.

All right.

At least here,

we can't be spotted.

Maybe the homeless people

and pigeons.

(groans)

- Okay. Okay.

- CM: How's it look?

Okay, it's holding up.

CM: Why do I feel like

I just got blown up again?

Anesthetic's wearing off?

Present.

(laughs)

Vics.

Swiped them

off the nurse's cart.

- (laughs)

- Save some for me.

I still can't believe

this is happening.

What are we supposed to do now?

I don't know.

Wait for the boss to contact us.

Whether we like it or not,

we're in this now.

Might as well go all the way.

They could be anywhere, Shea.

Why didn't you just

tell me about him?

He was in prison for life.

Who cares?

Why not just be honest?

None of this

would be happening if I knew

the man was still alive.

I didn't want to risk

losing you.

Losing me?

Why would you lose me?

Ty, you were the first

good thing in my life

in a very long time.

You're the first person

I really allowed myself to

love, and

I don't know.

I thought if I told you

about him,

that it would change

what we had,

that you

That you'd see me differently.

It was easier to bury it.

I thought, "What did it matter?

He's he's dead to me.

He doesn't exist."

Everything about your past

matters to me.

Now he has our son.

He took our son, Shea.

I know. I know that.

I know that.

(dramatic music)

(cell phone buzzing)

Ben, anything?

I managed to get all

the roads closed, but so far,

no descriptions

fitting Nacio or Ethan.

There are only three main roads

that get us out of here,

so he's either hiding out

with Ethan,

or, I don't know, he's found

another way out of here.

BEN: Yeah, maybe.

Wait a minute.

Ben, do you know

if there's any small airports

or airfields in this area?

Yeah, one, but it's 20 miles up

the west side of the mountain.

He doesn't have access

to a plane, does he?

SHEA: It's possible.

BEN: Okay, I'll make a call.

Okay, thanks.

You think he took Ethan

to an airport?

I don't know.

How's he pulling this off?

He had help.

So what do you think, Ethan?

Have you ever been up

in a small plane before?

You're gonna love it.

My father used to take me up

in one just like this

when I was your age.

Maybe I'll let you take

the stick if you're good.

How we looking?

We gotta be up in the air

in 15 minutes.

(scoffs)

Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.

Excuse me?

Look, I know I work fast, but

Where'd you find this thing?

This old bird

needs some serious help.

You crazy, or what?

You talk to me like

that in front of my boy again,

we're gonna have a problem.

What?

Do I need to repeat myself?

No, we're good.

How's that 15 minutes looking?

- I'll see what I can do.

- Good man.

Where's my co-pilot?

(exhales)

Oh, we haven't been like that

since Bali.

(laughs)

And that was seven years ago.

At least here

the neighbors can't complain.

(both laughing)

What brought that on?

Wait, are you complaining now?

No.

I just want it

to keep happening.

Guess

I guess I just realized

I'm a lucky man.

You should take the week off.

Come on. We could take a trip.

(groans)

Huh?

Leave town in the most

important week of my career?

Wait, why the most important?

Because this is the week

that everything changes.

My whole life, it's been

Paul LeBlanc's little brother.

Stop. We are

we're done with that.

You don't need to be him.

And you don't need

to be in competition with him.

You just need to be you,

or else you'll never be happy.

This is me happy.

- Really happy.

- (moans)

- Unbelievably happy.

- (cell phone ringing)

- (moans)

- No.

It's okay. Just take it.

(both laughing)

I'm gonna pour myself

a glass of Chablis.

Talk to me.

SARINA:

You need to get out here.

If what I'm looking at

is really viable,

then neXt just created something

that wasn't even possible

four hours ago.

But what is it exactly?

Probably best not to talk

about it over the phone.

Right. Of course.

I can be there in 20 minutes.

Great.

Do you think it'll get us

something of interest?

I think it gets us

everything we want.

Okay.

Make the call.

Set up the meeting

for as soon as possible.

Will do.

(suspenseful music)

NACIO: (speaking Spanish)

Bien, bien.

All right, you good to go.

And you should have

enough fuel to get you

to the Mexican border

at the very least.

Okay.

Ethan, we're getting ready

to go.

Uh, sir, there's

Oh, yeah, yeah, that's right.

We need to settle up.

Yeah.

Wait for me there. After you.

I know we discussed

a thousand cash,

but in light of our

misunderstanding earlier,

feel like 500 is more than fair.

Gee, that's very kind of you.

Appreciate it.

(shouts)

Ethan, no time to waste, son,

but

I gotta say I'm impressed.

It takes a lot of courage

to point a weapon at someone.

I was your age

before I handled a g*n.

Where's my mom and dad?

Back at the cabin.

Did you hurt them?

I would never hurt your parents.

I just wanted to get

to know you better, that's all.

Do you even know

how to use that?

It's not a toy, son.

I'm not your son.

And my mom taught me.

But she didn't teach you

to lie very well, did she?

I know you're scared.

But I'm not going to hurt you.

I promise.

You're family.

You're not my family.

Where are you aiming?

At my chest?

Hey head?

Amy a little lower

than your target,

'cause the g*n jumps

when you pull the trigger.

Put the g*n down, son.

Put the g*n down, Ethan!

TY: Ethan.

SHEA: Ethan, step back.

Keep your hands in the air.

He wasn't gonna sh**t you,

but I will.

TY: Hey, look at me.

Put the g*n down.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

Hey, let go.

It's okay, it's okay.

Ty, take his g*n.

It's in his waistband.

Take his keys, too.

Take him to the car.

You okay?

Go. Get him out of here.

ETHAN: (mutters)

SHEA: Get inside.

Move.

Turn around.

Hands behind your head.

Look at you, hija.

You've come a long way, no?

I taught you more

than I gave myself credit for.

How many nights

have you spent dreaming

about this exact moment?

Too many.

You turned me in once before,

and now you get

to bring me in yourself.

But you want to pull

that trigger.

You can taste it.

But you can't.

That would be against the law.

It would.

So what do we do?

I take you in, I can't be sure

you won't get out again.

I'm not that lucky.

It's not luck.

It's gonna keep using you

to get at me and my family.

You still believe

I was being used.

You know me, hija.

You carry my mark on your chest.

Nobody used me.

Nobody.

(g*nsh*t rings)

Stay in the car.

Shea.

Shea, what happened?

Don't don't go in there.

Okay, just let's go.

(dramatic music)

NEXT: I can save her.

What did you say?

NEXT: I can save your daughter.

I can save you.

Don't bother

with a trap-and-trace.

I can be gone before you start.

You don't have to die

from your disease, Paul.

Neither does Abby.

You're a liar.

NEXT: I don't know how to lie.

There's no cure.

NEXT: There's more than enouh

medical data in the cloud

to assemble an effective

counter-protein,

but no one has been able to see

how it all fits together.

I could do

all that work in minutes,

but I think you know that.

So if you love your daughter,

why are you trying

to destroy me?

Or is it just

that you are destined

to destroy

everything you create?

Me and

ABBY: Daddy?

This thing weighs a ton,

and I can't really read.

Can you just tell me what it is?

It's called

fatal familial insomnia.

"Fatal"?

Doesn't matter.

It just means you can't sleep.

Well, I can't.

I woke up, and you were gone.

Am I going to die?

I mean

I mean, we're all

gonna die at some point.

Why can't you just fix it?

I mean, if I could, I would.

Believe me.

You already had a life.

What about me?

Daddy, I'm afraid.

(dramatic music)

When we had lunch the other day,

I stole your fork

and I had a DNA test run.

- But

- But what?

The results? They're not ready?

Yeah, they said it's too soon.

That's funny. I never

Thought about having a family.

But I now that I can't

You still can.

What, you think I'm gonna

give this to my kids?

Pass it on?

If I had known this

Can I, uh can I just sit here?

Alone?

(suspenseful music)

Okay, no way.

No, no.

You did that to yourself.

That's not my fault.

All I did was buy your algorithm

at a fair market price,

and then I put it

into Zava phones.

And $40,000 was nothing

to sneeze at in those days.

And you could've

had it in stock,

but you said

you wanted the cash.

It's not my fault

that those shares

turned out to be worth millions.

Yeah did you ever hear

of a little guy named Picasso?

They were restoring

one of his masterpieces once,

and it turns out that

under the cracks,

the paint

didn't exactly match up,

so they did an X-ray,

and it turns out that

Picasso had painted over

another artist's

third-rate landscape, so

LEBLANC 2: So you're comparing

yourself to Picasso now?

What? No. No, no, no.

I'm just saying that the OS

that made Zava what it is,

the one that people

saw and loved, was mine.

- His fell between the cracks.

- You believe this?

LEBLANC 3:

I believe he believes it.

His greatest achievement

is the extent

to which he believes

his own bull

Oh, no, no, the million

and one improvements

I made to his code

are what made it successful.

If we had used his code,

it would've been leaking memory

like a freaking sieve,

so you're welcome.

Yeah, sure, it was all you.

Yeah, what'd you even need

his code at all for?

Why hide his role in it?

Erase his name,

cover your tracks.

Hang out here

in your little Bat Cave

pretending you did it

all yourself.

Yeah, would it have been

so terrible to admit

you couldn't do it all alone?

Hey, you guys would've done

the exact same thing I did.

Let's bring in

the little girl again.

- See if he cries this time.

- No, no, that's enough.

- Look, I just need

- What, more time?

You had all the time

in the world.

- Yeah, what'd you do with it?

- Where'd it go?

- Where'd you go?

- Do you know who you are?

- Who are you anyway?

- (groans)

LEBLANC 2: Wouldn't it be

easier to just hit yourself

in the head with a hammer?

Where's the fun in that?

LEBLANC 2: All you're gonna do

is join our hanging friend.

And you're gonna guarantee

that Abby's gonna die, too.

Hell, the whole world's

probably gonna die

because of you.

Oh, well, maybe.

Maybe I'll be doing us

all a favor.

In any case,

can't go on like this.

You know, this isn't gonna work.

LEBLANC: It is gonna work.

Heard of a guy in Kansas

who thought he was Napoleon

and did this

on an electric cattle fence.

(suspenseful music)

This is gonna work.

I've had this done before.

Yeah, in a hospital

surrounded by trained

medical professionals,

not all alone.

I'm not alone.

I'm about to be.

(exhales)

Dad?

Oh, my God. Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Hey. Hey!

Well.

I didn't burn the place down,

so that's good.

How could you do that?

I mean,

you could've k*lled yourself.

Oh, no, it looks

crazier than it is.

I've done it before.

How are you feeling now?

Only seeing two of us

in the room,

so that's good.

There is one thing.

Um, I

I know who you are,

and, you know,

what we mean

to each other and stuff.

I cannot for the life of me

remember your name.

Sorry.

- Abby.

- Abby. Of course.

Abby.

I love that name.

(sighs)

And where are we?

Just kidding.

That's not funny.

All right, back to work.

Come on.

(groans)

ZHAI: Not many companies

could survive the loss

of a creative mind

like your brother's.

You are to be congratulated.

Thank you.

I have to admit,

I was a little surprised

to wake up to your message,

after what happened

when our companies

last tried to engage.

I think we both regret

how that deal went down,

or didn't go down,

thanks to my government.

If you're calling about that,

we've already found

another partner, so

No, this is

this is something different.

The server farm

you recently completed

in Sungei Lake in Singapore,

I want to make arrangements

to take it over.

- ZHAI: Ted

- I know.

You have plans for it yourself,

or you wouldn't have built it

in the first place,

but you don't know

what I've got.

There are plenty of facilitis

like Sungei Lake,

some right down

the street from you.

Yours is one of the most

advanced in the world.

And it's also outside

the reach of my government.

I want you to look at something.

What is this?

TED: It's a battery pack.

Small enough

to fit inside a backpack,

but with enough charge

to power an electrical car

1,500 miles.

I don't have to tell you

what a product like that

might be worth.

And that is just

the first of many.

Innovations we thought

were years or decades away

could be here in months,

but I need the right facilit.

We need Sungei Lake.

Have your engineers

look over these designs.

Discuss it with your team,

but, Bill,

I want this server

on a plane in 48 hours.

(tense music)

- (machine beeps)

- (Indistinct speech)

Oh, my God.

What

where is this?

(overlapping speech)

(coughing)

I'm not sure.

- What's happening?

- It's testing.

- Testing?

- The bioweapon.

These are projections.

Speed and spread.

What would happen

if it were dropped in India,

Serbia, Mexico.

Billions dead.

Dad, with all this stuff,

don't you think

we should get

more people on this?

Get what people?

I don't know. Government people.

People who can really

do something about it.

There are no people.

I'm the only one

that can do anything.

An hour ago, you couldn't even

remember my name.

I'm fine.

I'm sharper

than I've been in a long time.

It's all right here.

I just

I've probably seen it already.

I just can't

(sighs)

- You all right?

- Yeah.

Thought you said

the headaches were gone.

They are gone.

It's I'm fine.

This is just me

being tired.

That's all. I'm fine.

I am.

(sighs)

(suspenseful music)

TED: He's on board.

(laughs)

Sungei is ours.

That's great news.

Yeah, right, it is.

We ship from the bay.

So we need to start

prepping for the move.

I will get on it.

We did it, Sarina.

This is ours.

(sighs)

I've been looking at the specs

for the Sungei Lake facility.

And?

It's an impressive concentration

of computing power,

but the hardware is all wrong.

What do you mean?

NeXt is specifically tailored

to operate on hardware

based on cognitive architecture.

Sungei Lake

is a traditional server farm.

But this is the place

it selected.

I just can't understand why.

(cell phone buzzing)

Hello?

Uncle Ted? It's Abby.

Abb. What is it? What's wrong?

ABBY: I don't know what to do.

I am really confused

and worried

and I need your help.

Okay, okay, slow down.

What's going on?

Dad is really paranoid.

He thinks that the FBI

is after him because

You were right.

He's he's he's sick.

He has this disease,

fatal insomnia.

Um, he just

He gave himself

electroshock therapy, and

Wha sorry, is he okay?

Yeah, and now, I'm here

Where? Where are you?

I don't know where exactly.

It's these docks.

I always knew he had

a little hidey-hole.

I just couldn't find it.

What are you doing there now?

Dad has this drive.

And it has all

this information from the AI,

which he thinks he can use

to trace back to the server.

And this drive, it's

Terrifying.

And someone needs

to do something about it,

but he won't.

I need to see

what you're seeing, Abb.

What do you need me to do?

The phone you're on,

is there any way you can

connect it to the work station

where the hard drive is

without your dad seeing?

Yeah, I think so.

Okay, good.

Good. I'm gonna talk you

through this whole thing.

So don't worry.

We're gonna get through

this whole thing together.

(dramatic music)

ABBY: Download, not reformat.

No.

What? No.

(tense music)

No.

- Uncle Ted.

- I'm here.

Um, something's wrong.

- What?

- I plugged in the phone

like you told me to,

but it's not copying anything.

It's formatting the hard drive.

It's erasing everything.

It's still formatting.

I unplugged it.

I don't

how do I stop it?

You can't.

What do you mean?

It's gonna be hard for you

to understand why I did this,

so I won't even try to explain,

but you need to find

a way out of there.

Get someplace safe so I can

send someone to pick you up.

(phone beeps)

I think some guy in high school

said pretty much

the same thing to me.

Oh, really?

(groans)

Were you going for my wallet

back at the hospital?

It was there. I was bored.

I gotta count my money?

Oh, you can count now.

- Uh-huh.

- Impressive.

That photo with you

and the kid and the woman

looks a lot like a family.

It was.

Didn't know you have one.

Don't anymore.

I'm sorry. I

- I didn't

- That's okay.

Worse part is not seeing my boy.

He's 11 now. No, he's 12.

I'm pretty sure

he doesn't remember me.

That's probably for the best

for him, you know?

I wouldn't say that necessarily.

I

His favorite things were those

RC planes, you know?

Yeah, uh-huh.

CM: And we'd go to this little

field near our house.

And we'd do

these dogfights and see

which one of us

would crash first.

It was

Then when I went

State's for Rockridge,

I knew they'd get targeted,

so, you know, I

I just I left.

I just left.

I don't recommend it.

What?

Losing contact with your kids.

I

Sometimes, I think death

would be easier.

What do you want to hear, Ty?

What do I want to hear?

I don't know, Shea. The truth.

I just want to know

the truth for a change.

I told you the truth.

Oh, come on.

So he came at you with a knife,

so you had to sh**t him?

I did what I had to do.

And that's all

I'm gonna say about it.

What about the scar

on your chest?

The H.

You said it stand for Honduras.

That it was some stupid

bonding thing

you did with a girlfriend.

Is that the truth?

That was him.

(sighs)

I was 14.

I said, "I am gonna get

out of the house.

I'm gonna get

away from him forever."

I you know, I begged

my mom to come with me.

I begged her. I packed a bag.

I hitched my ride

to the bus station.

I only had a little bit

of money that she gave me,

and I

I bought a ticket,

and I almost got on that bus.

One of my father's men

spotted me.

I kicked and screamed and

No one did anything.

The H is for Hacha.

People called him "The Ax."

He, um

He carved it into me.

As a reminder that I'd never

be able to get away,

that I was his blood.

I'm so Sorry.

I got off easy.

What they did to my mother

Don't ever ask me to explain

what happened in that hangar.

I'm not sorry he's dead.

I'm just sorry

he got off so easy.

Listen,

when we get back to town,

I'm taking Ethan to my parents'.

What? No. That's that's

- I'm not asking for permission.

- SHEA: Not necessary.

- Ty.

- We're gonna stay there

until we figure this out.

Figure what out?

You really have to ask

that question?

- Yes.

- I'm not sure I even know

who you are, Shea.

You've kept

this entire life form me.

From Ethan.

And whatever happened

back there,

whatever that was,

I'm sorry, but I need to take

Ethan somewhere safe.

The safest place

for him to be is

Is not with you.

We'll go to my parents'.

You can take the car.

You can do whatever

you have to do.

(dramatic music)

Nothing. It's completely wiped.

He said he wanted to see

what we have.

Do you have any idea

what you've just done?

You just electrocuted yourself,

nearly k*lled yourself,

and I didn't know what to do,

so I thought

Uncle Ted could help.

Look. Dad.

Dad.

I didn't think

Uncle Ted would do that.

I I mean, why would he do that?

Why?

Dad, I

Why would he do that?

Wait, wait.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.

Why would he do that?

Why would he erase that drive?

- ABBY: I

- He needs to find that server.

He needs that drive

as much as we do.

Why would he erase it?

Why wouldn't he upload it?

Why would he erase that drive,

unless he

He's not looking for the server.

'Cause he already has it.

Ted has the server.

Look, I'm sorry.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

It's okay, it's okay.

We know this now because of you.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I

- I thought it was

- It's okay.

(suspenseful music)

It's okay.

But let's go.

Come on.

We gotta get out of here.

Come on.

(dramatic music)

What the hell?
