01x06 - Supernova

Post by bunniefuu »

ANNOUNCER: Previously on Debris

My dad was the first to be told

the truth about what they found.

- MADDOX: George Jones, he's alive.

- BRYAN: That's impossible.

We're just gonna have to sit on

this for a little while, okay?

BRYAN: There are things that I know

that you will not find very palatable.

I need you to trust me.

FERRIS: It's your father.

He may still be alive.

Bryan knows, too.

FINOLA: Why did we even

bother with this alliance?

BRILL: Ferris. She knows more

than she's telling you.

- FINOLA: I want to catch these guys, Bryan.

- BRYAN: We will.

JULIA: I know what it takes from you

to control the fate of the world.

I accept this, I accept all of this.

Let's just look out

for each other, yeah?

BRYAN: It's been a long time

since somebody's looked at me

like a human being.

When I first met you,

I doubted you could do this job.

I shouldn't have.

[electricity buzzing]

[exhales]

[car door opens]

GIRL: What do we do now?

We have to try again.

We need more people.



[theme]

[Bryan sighs]

You know, when they designed it,

I really don't think NASA engineers

intended that to be your

personal toaster oven, Bryan.

Have you ever heard of the Dustbuster?

UV sunglasses? Memory foam mattresses?

All developed by NASA,

so I'm just ahead of

the curve, so to speak.

Wow, you're just like

a human crystal ball.

It's a curse.

Is everything all right?

Yeah.

When we were in New York,

my sister sent me

an old family video

of us on the Isle of Wight

when we were kids.

It just made me think about my dad.

He was in Greece

the summer before he died,

and he sent me an email

to say that he found

the perfect present

he was gonna buy himself

for his birthday, for me to gift him.

Is that something

that he would do a lot?

Yeah. And then he would always

act surprised when he opened it.

What was the present?

I don't know.

I never got the chance to find out.

That's what I was thinking about.

You sure you don't want

in on one of these?

Mm-mm, I'm quite sure.

Okay.

Your loss.

Did you do what I asked?

Yes. I still don't know

why you wanted me to tell him

my father was in Greece before he died.

And how did Bryan respond?

He just listened to the story.

What's going on?

You trust me, don't you?

I do.

Now, if he brings it up again,

mention Cyprus,

that you think he was there, too.

Who was that agent

you sent to deliver me

the memory stick with

the China files in New York?

That's Agent Brill. Why?

Oh, I've just never met him before.

He's dependable.

Don't forget about Cyprus.

I'll be in touch.

Copy that.



- [car door closes]

- FINOLA: What do we got?

Local PD was alerted by

a woman walking her dog.

She said she saw four or five teenagers

near the house a few days ago.

They were in a banged-up sedan.

Then this morning her dog led

her inside to the bodies.

How many bodies are we talking about?

Three. We're still searching

the woods for the Debris.

They're clicking at 190 on the Laghari.

FINOLA: Okay. Thanks, Tom.

Dr. Masakela.

DR. MASAKELA: Over here. How you doing?

FINOLA: All right.

This is oddly peaceful.

They all died here in the house.

- FINOLA: When?

- It was recent.

It's like the life was

literally sucked out of them.

Whatever happened, the Debris seems

to have left each one with

a faint electrostatic field.

Where is the energy coming from?

Low relative humidity is creating

an electrostatic buildup in this area.

And the bodies are containing it.

Enough to charge a cell phone.

DR. MASAKELA: Convenient

in this remote location.

BRYAN: Bill Jarvah.

- What is that?

- Medical ID.

Bill Jarvah was reported missing

by local PD three days ago.

Who were the other two?

Another man was reported missing,

also in his eighties, same day.

And then the day before that,

a woman disappeared from

a assisted living facility.

I think we just found them.

Why are they older people,

and what happened to them?

At their age, they could barely

make it through the forest.

Someone brought them here.

The teenagers,

the ones the dog walker saw.

BRYAN: Dr. Masakela,

you said it was like

their life was sucked out of them.

FINOLA: If someone

used Debris to do this,

what could they be getting from them?

Not much. Once I get them back

to the lab at Langley, I'll know more.

Great.

[door buzzes]

Oh, room service.

It's about bloody time.

I've been here for hours.

I'll have a Moo Goo Gai Pan.

And how about some of those

those fortune cookies?

Let's have some of those, too.

Anson Ash.

Ex-SAS, Special Reconnaissance Regiment.

Infiltrated the IRA in Northern Ireland.

It says here you abandoned

your military duty.

Tell me about Influx.

Who's funding you?

We know it's not the Russians.

Or the Chinese.

What do you want?

Definitely not what you lot want.

You want geopolitical dominance.

You want to rule the world.

You don't get to control this Debris.

This technology is meant

to free the world,

not entrap it.

I find it interesting

that you don't understand

that we are suddenly in the presence

of a power so vast,

with both the possibility

of good and evil,

and you don't know which side you're on.

But you do.

You're on the side of good.

You're just a guy who's trying

to make the world a better place

by opening up wormholes

in Manhattan, yeah?

You think it should

all just be out there,

available to anybody who comes across it?

Is that right?

I am just a guy

who wants some Moo Goo Gai Pan.

We know you switched out George's

dead body from the morgue.

Did you reanimate him with Debris?

I think we all know the rules here.

There are no rules.

Not since the arrival.

Are you torturing George Jones

to learn our secrets?

That's a good idea,

you should get some sleep.

Next time you see me, you're

going to need all your energy.

Anson has had four incoming calls.

Proprietary software scrambled the ID,

but whoever they are,

they keep calling back.

MADDOX: He's not talking,

so this is all we got.

All right, just stay on it.

I need to find out where

those calls are coming from.

You gotta crack that phone.

Chalk?

Sometimes hikers mark trees

so they don't get lost.

There's another one.

I'm gonna get some more agents

to search the area, okay?

[phone buzzes]

Hey, George Jones was in Romania

for a series of conferences

just before his death.

I need you to find out if he was

anywhere near the Mediterranean

- when he was there.

- Okay.

Malta, Cyprus

It's important that I know.

[sighs]

Finola just told me a story on the plane

about her father being in Greece

a month before his death.

He emailed her.

I'm trying to figure out

if Influx had some sort of

long-term plan to capture George,

and I want to know if they

were tracking him even then.

So I may need some more

information from Finola.

How long was he there, exact

dates, etcetera, etcetera.

I need anything you can get.

Copy?

Okay.

Hey. They've confirmed

through dental records

that the corpses they found

were the missing elderly.

But we just got a report

that another elderly man

named Caspian Cole, 80s,

just went missing

in a town east of there

called McMinnville, Tennessee.

Whoever's doing this is there now.



Stop! Don't go any further.

BOY: 237.

Told you.

This is good.

I'm okay, I'm okay.

We're back on track. Soon we'll be free.

We just gotta find a few more.

We have to keep going.

TARKOLOV: Not many Americans

know who Yuri Gagarin was.

That's because it doesn't

matter if you're the first

person in space if

you don't land on the moon.

And that's what we did. So, you know,

of course everybody knows

who Neil Armstrong is.

History is kindest to the victors.

Those above me want history

to be kind to Russia now.

They're willing to make the

trade for the piece you want.

No reason both countries

can't take their place

in the history books this time.

When can I see it?

Not long now.

I'll pick you up at 8:00 tonight.

Local PD found surveillance

footage of Caspian Cole

being abducted

four blocks from the house.

According to the time stamp,

they were talking

for about twenty minutes.

There's a second man reported

missing now two hours after.

Jose Manza, ninety years old.

Last seen ten blocks

from the same place.

[phone buzzes]

- Tom.

- Yeah,

we just located a car

matching the description

from the crime scene in Ennville.

It's parked by the woods

north east of Collins Road.

No plates.

- Ping me your location.

- You got it.

Definitely traces of Debris.

It was here. Not too long ago.

I'm picking up a steady 60.

These are some of the victims' clothes.

[phone rings]

This is Bryan.

It's Kearn. Bad time?

I got a minute. What's up?

We're looking for her personal emails

from when George was in Greece.

What are you talking about?

Agent Jones. We're in her apartment.

We got nothing from her journals,

so we're going through everything.

- You're in her apartment?

- Yeah,

Maddox said you were up to speed.

He said you might have

had access to her password.

He made it pretty clear

that he needs this soon.

Are you there?

I don't have that information right now.

You're on your own. I gotta go.

What do you think?

Let's run the VIN.

It's a bit cold out here.

What's your name?

Subash.

Want me to sit with you, Subash?

So, why are you all alone?

You don't have any family?

My sons live in a different city.

So they're just living their lives

and forgetting you exist, huh?

You know, sometimes I

I feel

they are just waiting for me to die.

I can help you with that.

[phone buzzes]

[sighs]

Nothing.

Still quiet.

[sighs]

That story, the one

you shared on the plane.

Yeah?

It stuck with me.

That bit about George

buying presents for himself.

Nobody talked about that side

of your father at Orbital,

just that he was this hyper-focused

gifted, out-there genius.

Hmm.

Well, yeah. He was that, too.

Out there. Definitely.

You should have been there

when he did his papers

on children's nightmares.

What do you mean?

He was obsessed with

neurological computing,

and so he thought nightmares

might be the brain's way

of solving differential equations.

So, yeah, lots of therapy on that one.

I don't know. It's like,

everything I've heard,

he didn't sound like the type that

would just jet off to Greece.

And Cyprus.

He really loved it there, too.

Why are you asking me

about my father, Bryan?

Because your father is alive.

I know.

And I know that you and Maddox knew.

Why did you tell me?

I just told you.

Isn't that enough?

When did Maddox find out?

Two weeks ago.

And what do you know about it?

Why was he taken?

I only saw footage of him

coming into JFK

from out of the country with Anson

Ash and another Influx operative.

But the last I heard,

Maddox was trying to rule out

if it was a clone or not.

Well, it's not a clone. It's him.

How do you know that?

I just do.

Did he die or not?

You said you saw his body.

I did.

Maddox wanted me to get the information

off you about his trip to Greece

to see if Influx was

tracking him before his death.

That's all I know.

I need to know if I can trust

you with what I've told you.

[gasping]

Have some water.

Here.

- Better?

- [sighs]

[siren in distance]

Go to the car. Check that out.

Come on.

Let's go.

KURT: It's okay.

Don't be afraid.

It happens so fast,

and it doesn't hurt at all.

Just hold on to it, no matter what.

[sighs]

Okay.

[Debris trilling]

Hey, stop! We're federal agents!

[Debris trilling]

[grunting]

You have to let me go!

- Where is it?

- I don't have it! He does!

Where is Caspian Cole?

- Jose Manza?

- [grunting, struggling]

Jose Manza and Caspian Cole!

Where are they?

What are you doing to them?

I am Caspian Cole.

[Debris trilling]

It's It's a miracle.

Like I said, you have to stay near us.

You're with us now.

Kurt! Kurt! Kurt, Kurt, Kurt!

Let's go!

You have to stay with us! You have to!

We gotta go! Come on, let's go!

[gasping]

[panting]

We have to go.

We can't leave them.

We gotta keep running.

We need to get the others back.

I don't know who these people are,

but they know what we're doing.

They will die if we run further.

I can't let that happen again.

After it happens,

we can't get too far from it.

But he said he knew how to stop that.

What do you mean?

You have to let us go. We will die.

He won't stay. I can feel

that it's close to happening.

I can feel it.

We're on the outer reaches

of being too far from it.

Where did it come from?

He said that he prayed for it.

Don't you believe it?

Look at what he's done.

I'm 85 years old.

It's a miracle.

I wished that I would die

so many times.

That I would just disappear.

Do you know what kind of hell that is?

And then he found me,

and he told me he could do this.

What will happen to me now?

I don't want anything to happen to you.

Where's Bryan?

We found another one of these

in the woods where

Caspian Cole was running.

Kurt wants to talk.

BRYAN: Kurt?

Who are you?

We're here to help.

We've got Caspian and Subash.

Where's Jose?

Jose Manza is dead.

And all this has to stop

before anyone else dies.

Jose is dead because of you.

You k*lled him. You did, you

forced him to run too far away.

Kurt, what you're doing is wrong.

No, actually I'm not

doing anything wrong.

I'm helping people who deserve

a chance at a second life.

People who have been left all alone.

Look, I know that you know what it does,

or you wouldn't be here looking for it.

I know you know.

I know.

So, then help them by helping me.

Tell me the math.

The math?

The key to it is numbers.

The more people that it makes young,

the farther away from it we can be.

If I could get the math right

If I can get enough people,

if I can just figure it out,

then none of us

have to be near it anymore.

All of us.

You know that's not working.

We found the bodies in the house.

If you don't stop, more innocent

people are going to die.

No, you're gonna let my friends go.

You're gonna pack up your

trucks and you're gonna leave

or else I'm gonna

I'm gonna disappear,

and Caspian and Subash's blood

will be on your hands too.

BRYAN: So, what've you got for me?

From what I can tell, the Debris uses

an epigenetic program to control,

and reverse, the aging process.

It commandeers DNA methylation

pathways, thereby restoring youth.

But when the Debris is absent,

everything snaps back with a vengeance.

It's like a biological boomerang.

Right, but in your voicemail,

you said you could undo it?

Yes, I believe that we can

moderate the boomerang effect.

I just need you to keep them

alive and get me the Debris.

The subjects could be

returned to where they were

before all this happened, old but alive.

Thanks.

Bryan, you got a minute?

Just came for you.

Why so early?

I don't know.

Maybe something came back

in your blood work.

[grunts]

[knock on door]

Hey.

We just got word back on the Chrysler.

It's Kurt's car. His name is Kurt Cox.

He was an engineer from Knoxville.

The girl he's with is Clara Cox.

They're husband and wife.

They've been married for

over fifty years.

He took her from a care

facility where she was

suffering from end stage dementia.

So, he got his wife back.

Mm-hmm.

Okay. I'm gonna take care of this.

BRYAN: Kurt, are you there?

You're prepared to leave?

I'm afraid I can't do that, man.

- KURT: No, No.

- TOM: We're getting closer.

I will leave, I will disappear,

and you will never see me again.

They will be dead because of you.

There is a chance that

we can undo you've done,

but you gotta trust me.

Going back to what we were

is not an option.

I know that you took

Clara from a facility.

I understand her condition,

I understand that

you think this is a miracle.

You have no idea what

you're dealing with.

I won't send her back to that hell.

TOM: Not far now.

I've already lost Clara once.

I believe that

I found this for a reason.

Where did you find it, Kurt?

I was by some cliffs near my house.

It seemed to beckon me.

And when I picked it up

and it transformed me, I knew.

I knew that this was how I get her back.

Who are you to take this from us?

This is saving my wife.

This is saving our lives together.

Everybody you bring in your circle,

you're putting their lives in danger.

It's not right. We should be born old

and live our lives backwards,

because just when you start

to appreciate your life, it is gone.

You don't see that.

You're too young.

One day, you're gonna understand.

We should have more time.

Everyone should have more time.

Find peace in the fact that you'll

be able to offer her comfort

in the remaining time she has left.

TOM: We're real close.

They're here somewhere.

FINOLA: He's smart.

He relayed the walkies.

We have to stop, Kurt.

I can't.

I can't live without you.

This gift was given to us.

We already had our gift.

A life with each other.

We are like starlight.

We were here

we've burned bright

even though that star

might not be here anymore.

I'm afraid that

I'm afraid that if you go back,

you're gonna die in that state.

That you're not gonna

remember to wait for me.



[phone vibrates]

TARKOLOV: She has it with her.

I wanted to use Irina.

To make sure it's someone you know.

[knock on door]

Where's the rest of it?

It's enough to show we have it.

This is what I was told to bring.

MADDOX: Let's see it.

MADDOX: Is it charged?

Mm-hmm.

Turn it on.

Let's send a team here, and a team here.

We'll close in on them.

He won't be able to get out of range.

KURT: Hello?

- Kurt?

- We're coming in.

Tell Caspian and Subash not to worry.

Where are you?

A small clearing, past the incline.

We'll be there, waiting.

There.

We have a hazmat team right here.



[instrument warbling]

Laghari is reading 210.

They should be right here.

- Bryan?

- Yeah, I'm here.

The Debris is here, but they aren't.

FINOLA: They know

what will happen to them.

Kurt?

Kurt, come back. We can help you.

I ♪

Kurt?

Thought I could touch the stars ♪

I lie awake at night ♪

I wonder where you are ♪

My face explodes ♪

Teardrops into tears, yeah ♪

And every second I'm not with you ♪

Well, it seems like years ♪

Seems like years ♪

And I've told you ♪

Well, I warned you ♪

That I loved you ♪

Yeah ♪

Yeah ♪

I won't die ♪

But I won't feel the same ♪

I spend up all of my time ♪

Hoping to see you again ♪

My face explodes ♪

Teardrops into tears, yeah ♪

And every second I'm not with you ♪

Well, it seems like years ♪

Seems like years ♪

Yeah, I warned you ♪

That I'd k*ll you ♪

'Cause I loved you ♪

Yeah ♪

Do you have it?

Yes.

We're going to take you

and Caspian to a facility

where there are people who can help you.

Do you understand what I'm telling you?

I grow old again?

Yes.

You can't take it away.

We just don't have a choice, Subash.

You can't take away what it gave me.

The miracle of life.

I just needed to feel it again.

And after this, I'm going to fight

for every last day.

I happen to know

you have stronger Debris

that can access

communication frequencies.

Why would you want this one?

Because it works.

Is that the only reason?

Because this trade, this method,

Tarkolov, it's unusual for you.

I'm good.

I hope you know what you're doing.

You always worry too much.

[door closes]

You can.

Trust me.

I know it wasn't easy going

against your orders.

I appreciate that you did that.

Ferris told me to tell you

that my father was in Greece,

and I have no idea why.

It's like she's leaving

just enough bread crumbs

for Maddox to figure something out.

- Do you know what that is?

- No.

But it was important

enough for her to do it.

She's using me to figure

something out about my father.

I have a bad feeling about it.

I can't trust Ferris.

And you can't trust Maddox.

FINOLA: MI6 suspects that he's been

working against the coalition,

most likely the Chinese.

You're wrong.

I'm giving you

the information that I have

You don't know what you're saying.

This man saved my life.

The only thing that I know for sure

is that something is going on that

both of us don't even understand.

We need to trust each other.

That is the only way we're

going to find our answers.

Is there anything that I need to know?

Is there anything

They're surveilling your apartment.

[elevator dings]

[phone rings]

We've traced the calls

that came in on Anson Ash's phone.

It's from a cell phone in Maine.

Stay on it.

I want a name.
