01x02 - All Things Are Possible

Post by bunniefuu »

♪ ♪

Lord, I always put my trust in you.

I made a big leap of faith,

and I thought it was the right thing.

But I find myself years
in the future and...

... I've experienced the impossible.

(INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER)

Why are the taking the BestTime snacks?

They took the piano, too.

They're punishing us.

For Shanice escaping.

(SIGHS) We've got to get out of here.

REV: I asked you for a sign.

This must be the sign,

but... help me understand.

What am I to do?

STEVE: Hey.

They need to talk to you.

You want to tell us how you escaped

from the hotel the other day?

Do you want to tell me when you plan on

letting us out of here for good?

Since as far as I can tell, you have

no lawful grounds to detain us.

You took a huge risk.

Potentially exposing your
husband and daughter...

To what? They're my family.

Look, Shanice, you know
we're not the enemy.

Michigan Penal Code, Article .

"A person who commits
unlawful imprisonment

is guilty of a felony".

Just tell us who you were working with.

Are they the same ones
who leaked to the public

that you all are missing persons?

That there are , of you?

"Punishable...

by not more than years

or a fine of not more
than $ , , or both".

So have you all figured
out how we apparently

travelled through time?

We don't know that's what happened.

So how come the last thing I remember

it was ...

and now it's ?

Maybe you were taken somewhere?

- Maybe someone doesn't want you to remember?
- Ew, who?

Well, that's what we want to
find out, but most importantly,

we want to make sure
that everybody's okay now.

Okay, well, we'd be more okay
if we could get out of here.

And if we didn't have to wear

these truly hideous synthetic fabrics.

Like, can you do something about this...

travesty?

MILDRED: Uh...

I don't know anything
about how Shanice got out.

Really? Because she was last seen

headed to the bathroom with you.

JHARREL: Yo.

- She's just a kid.
- And kids lie, too.

JHARREL: Okay, you really
think interrogating minors

is the best way to figure...

(JHARREL GRUNTS)

Well, I think we were just
about done here anyway.

Hey, come on, I'll have one
of the guards take you back.

Why did you say what
you said the other night?

You said to tell Jharrel that...

Manny's all right, that
he's sorry for everything.

How do you know Jharrel's brother?

I don't know him.

Then why were you talking about him?

Does it have something to do
with why you all are here?

No. I-I-I guess it was
just something I heard.

From who? From Jharrel?

No. Just...

people talk.

So it was what... a prank?

Is this whole thing some kind of prank?

We are trying to help you all.

You need to be honest with
us, not jerk us around...

Look, I can't eat the new food.

And they took away the BestTime Bars.

I love the BestTime Bars.

I've cooperated since we've got here.

But there has been no
movement to get us out.

It would help if people
weren't leaking information

to the press and escaping custody.

Those sound like your problems.

Not mine.

And what is your problem, Reverend?

I lost something that night.

On Belle Isle.

And I need to get it to someone.

A woman and a child.

No one is going anywhere.

Certainly not back to the
scene of what happened.

And families aren't being
notified until we know more.

How about this?

You give me their names,

and I'll see if I can locate
this woman and child.

And in return...

you tell me everything you know

about how you got here.

And Belle Isle?

We'll see.

First, Shanice Murray.

She escaped.

I think she knows more
than she's letting on.

Well...

everyone has secrets.

♪ If I never... ♪

Sure you can't stay any longer?

I'm on the swing shift later.

I'd love to.

But I've got to get back.

My father has me leading
the service today.

Guess you haven't told them yet?

I...

I'm just waiting for the right moment.

I want to make sure
they really understand.

Understand why their
precious, perfect baby boy

would end up with someone like me?

Darlene... it's not like that.

I'm going on weeks now.

You said you wanted to keep it.

- That you wanted us to do this together.
- I do!

Because I can't afford a baby on my own.

You're not on your own.

I'm with you.

I thank the Lord every day

He brought you to me, Darlene.

But they've got their
old ways of thinking.

I've got to show them
that they're wrong.

You trust me, right?

Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah...

♪ About the love that you made... ♪

Do you really think intimidation tactics

like those interrogations
are gonna work?

We have to use every tactic we can.

- Keisha, they are scared.
- Shanice Murray escaped.

Yes, because they're being
locked up here for no reason.

Well, I want to know
who she's working with.

Where's this I.T. guy anyway?

SORAYA: Present!

And she wasn't working with anyone.

That's what I wanted to show you.

Uh, Keisha and Jharrel, right?

Cool to meet you.

I'm Soraya. Texpert. (CHUCKLES)

You like that? I'm making it a thing.

They hired me to shore up
the security in this place,

which is, yeah, lacking.

But look.

Here's the footage from the cameras
where Shanice escaped.

Okay, we've seen this footage.
Seems like the doors just...

opened.

Then someone moved the cameras remotely,

so we can't see how she opened the door.

No. Her body language says that
she wasn't prepared for this.

Wasn't planning on escaping.

She took advantage of a door opening.

Are you a body language expert, too?

Oh, I watch a lot of reality television.

People say it's trash, but...

I say it's a masterclass
on human nature.

So we're listening to a specialist

that trained in the Ex-Wives franchise?

Uh... technically I went
to M.I.T. and Quantico, too.

But that was a lot more boring.

What's not boring is this gig.

Had to get clearance to take it, but...

(WHOOPS) I had no idea
it would be... this.

Yeah, and what is this?

Because I can't get
anything real out of them.

Well, it's clear they have no idea
what happened to them.

Which is consistent with
reportings of alien encounters.

Aliens? Seriously?

Maybe? But the simplest explanation

is that they time travelled,
clearly against their will.

So... who did that to them?

I'm sorry, time travel is
the simplest explanation?

Except time travel isn't a thing.

- Mm.
- So what's the logical explanation?

Well, it is illogical to think
that we have all the tools

or the means to explain
everything in the universe.

So...

why didn't we let Shanice Murray
have a minute to catch up

with her family after she
was cleared by medical?

That is a great question.

Good point...

about the family.

We cleared the husband
after her visit, but...

maybe he can get something
out of her that I can't.

Maybe she'll tell him what she knows.

Yo, what's her deal?

Is she single?

(CHUCKLES)

(DOORBELL RINGS)

(SIGHS)

I'm just here to talk.

We, uh...

we saw on the news.

Is that what Shanice is a part of?

That , people?

So you didn't have anything to do

with leaking it to the press?

Leak what? I don't know anything.

Shanice just shows up at
my doorstep after being gone

years,

talking like she just left.

The government is...
trying to figure it out.

Okay, we're trying to help.

Is, uh...

is she okay?

She's... angry.

Reciting the Michigan
Penal Code nonstop.

Yeah, it sounds like Shanice.

Listen, I'll admit that I
can't get through to her.

I want to try to figure
out what's going on.

I want to help her.

She won't talk to me.

But maybe she'll talk to you.

No. No, no, no.

No, listen, we can't be involved.

You know, I have a daughter
I have to think about.

And that's a big part
of the reason I'm here.

I don't think you or
your family has anything

to do with this, but it would
go a long way in easing

everyone's mind if you help.

LADONNA: Uh-uh, I'm not doing it.

I already lost a nail in here
and it's probably from cutting

your arm open over and
over again... Doc, tell her.

This does not seem wise.

I swore an oath to first do no harm.

And that is Doc talk for "it's cray".

Don't you want to know
the limits of this thing?

What exactly I can take?

Lord have mercy... just break my finger!

We already know I can heal from cuts.

If I can heal from anything...

I can isolate one of them
guards and take 'em on.

And then if they b*at me or sh**t me...

whatever... I can withstand it

and escape and figure out

how to get everyone out.

Well...

experimentation and observation
are the best road

- to discovery.
- Yes.

Y'all are really kind of
demented, you know that?

Uh... (CHUCKLES)

Never mind, Doc, Ladonna here just...

just doesn't have the stomach for it.

Now I didn't take her
for a fraidy cat...

Whoa, I'm not afraid of anything, okay?

You're just-just too weak

to get the job done, dear... it's fine.

Excuse me? (SCOFFS)

Look, I once took out
a backstabbing skank

with one four-inch stiletto
to the chin, so I am not weak.

I didn't quite follow all that...
pray tell, what is a skank?

Prove it.

- Oh!
- Miss Ladonna!

She made me.

(WHIMPERING)

(GRUNTING)

Fascinating.

- (LAUGHING): It worked!
- Oh, my God.

Whoa.

- (ALARM SOUNDING)
- (GASPS)

- Hmm?
- GUARD: Count! Count!

- GUARD: Line 'em up!
- GUARD : All right, let's line up!

KEN: Okay, everybody, listen up!

Moving forward, we'll be doing counts.

This group is assigned
to this checkpoint.

When you hear the alarm, you
have two minutes to get here.

You're being fitted
with GPS ankle bands.

Just in case anyone gets any
bright ideas about sneaking out.

Again.

These measures are in place for
you and everyone else's safety.

Do we understand each other?

♪ This little light of mine... ♪

Do you think this is funny?

- N-No.
- Then shut your mouth.

(STAMMERS)

Oh, we know about you already.

Got something to say?

SHANICE: Why am I back here?

Why won't you guys tell me
what's going on?

(GASPS)

Logan?

Hi, Shanice.

So, uh...

this is where you've been.

Well, just for the last few days.

Be... fore that I was home

- and then...
- Right, you, uh...

you somehow don't remember what
happened for the past years.

Do I look like I've aged years?

(BOTH LAUGH)

You know, this place reminds
me of that hotel we stayed at.

- Up north.
- Yeah.

When we had to have the house fumigated.

- Mm-hmm.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)

Still can't believe you
shelled out for that trip.

You were six months pregnant, Shanice.

What, I'm gonna make you sleep

on Mrs. Grover's guest bed?

It's like sleeping on
a slab of concrete.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Why did you come?

You really don't know what happened?

I only know that I didn't leave.

Yes, I thought about
leaving at one point.

It was postpartum depression.

It was bad and I had
some... dark nights.

You wrote me a goodbye note, Shanice.

I mean, I-I knew it was hard, but I...

You never told me.

I didn't know how.

How was I supposed to tell you that?

I would've helped, I would've.

But you were never good
at asking for help.

Yeah, well, can I... ?

Will you bring Mariah?

I'd like to...

I guess, meet her.

Get to know her.

I don't think that's a good idea.

Not yet, at least.

I mean, you said for yourself
you don't know what's happening.

And the government seems to think that

- you're involved in...
- I'm not!

- That is so ridiculous.
- I just don't think I want

to expose her to it all just yet.

I mean, what if you... ?

(CLEARS THROAT)

What if you disappear again?

I should go. (CLEARS THROAT)

Do you and, um... ?

Do you have any other children?

No.

I'm glad you're okay and I'm just...

(EXHALES)

I'm sorry.

(SOBBING)

(ALARM SOUNDING)

KEN: Okay, folks!

Now this is what we like to see.

Everybody follows the rules.

Everything will be peachy.

Just like I said.

See you at the next one.

Hey.

I heard you talking about trying
to get us back to Belle Isle.

It's an idea I've been pondering.

Do you think it might
reverse everything, like,

somehow take us back to before?

Maybe it's like that new show Outlander.

This chick finds some kind
of altar in the woods,

and then all of a sudden,
she's at this castle

with this hottie in a kilt

- and they go... at it.
- Wow.

I'm just saying homegirl
had to go back and frolic

- at the Druid Stones to time travel, so...
- (CLAUDETTE CLEARS THROAT)

(MOUTHS)

What are you three always
off talking about?

Um...

you know, mostly fashion.

And, um...

old-timey doctor...

stuff. I got to go.

(HUSHED CHATTER)

What was that?

What was... what?

Was that a BestTime bar?

So you decided to make
this Belle Isle trip

a whole campaign?

I'm determined and somehow

I didn't think you were
gonna make it happen.

You're selling these
people a bill of goods.

You've got them thinking that if
they go there, this whole thing

will be undone and they'll just
go back to living their lives.

Do you know that to be false?

Can you explain what's happened?

You just want to go back
for whatever you left there.

You'll get that. And what
do they get... nothing.

They'll get out.

Even if it's for a short time.

We've been trapped like rats in a cage.

It'll be something.

They think this will take them back.

That whatever happened
will happen again.

How do you think they'll
feel when it doesn't?

How do you know it won't?

You're lying to them.

Who knows?

Maybe it will happen again
and we'll all be gone.

But I need to make things right
with my family either way.

I have to.

LOGAN: Hey, sweetheart.

I thought you were, uh...

going over to Naima's to study?

Dad, why did you go see
her without telling me?

How did you... ?

I knew I shouldn't have let you
download that door camera app.

Please, you can't even
figure out how it works.

You can't go eavesdropping

on people's conversations
like that, okay?

Some kids at school were talking
about the Belle Isle people.

Saying it might be some foreign invasion

or something, but
she's one of them so...

We don't know anything
about her situation.

I thought you'd talk to me about it.

You usually, like,

talk to me about stuff.

I know.

I'm know, I'm sorry, but...

look, this is...

you know, it's complicated,
and I just don't want it

to interfere with your life.

But I want to see her, too.

I mean, I've never...

I only have pictures of her.

You know?

And I want to know what happened.

She doesn't even know.

And until we have more information,

it's just not safe to see her.

You call it responsibility, but

who really benefits?

Darlene's right.

What we do here is hypocrisy.

We built this house on God's Word.

We built this congregation
at His command.

Maybe.

But now we use it for us.

If that's what you see, then
you are lost in your faith.

Every day we preach the Word
to those people out there,

because they are tired,

they are sad, anxious,

in pain, because the world is hard.

- I know that...
- You don't know!

You don't know or you
wouldn't be standing here

giving me this nonsense.

The Lord asked us, this family,

to sacrifice.

To dedicate our lives to others.

They need to see that the
Lord put us here for them.

They need to see that
we can bear their burdens

and that there are rewards
beyond the material.

Because what people need...

what the Lord knows they need...

is hope.

And if you don't know
that that's worth more

than dollars and cents...

... then you really don't
understand, son.

Who do you think you are?

Whatever happens, they deserve that.

So... you gonna sweet-talk
your girl into it?

I will handle Agent Tanner.

She got called to oversee an emergency

at the Ypsi Med facility.

Took a bunch of the guards with her,

so the place is as unguarded
as it will ever be.

(CHUCKLES)

Okay, night trip to Belle Isle it is,

but you and me can't take everybody.

Maybe we can slip a group
out after their count.

Mm, and they're all
wearing ankle monitors,

so we'll be able find them
if anything goes wrong.

But... I have my body-worn
camera just in case.

Yes, yes, everyone will be tracked

and monitored within
an inch of their life.

- A police state in action.
- Hey.

We stay vigilant.

Okay?

Ah.

Me and my brother used
to draw these everywhere.

It was a game to play.

One of us would start out a clock,
the other one would add

another number and we'd...

keep adding numbers until it was done.

Think he might still be here?

I don't know, these people
arriving here, they...

brought back my hope for finding him.

So if...

somehow this whole thing works out...

and they do go back, then...

I don't know, maybe I can put
this whole thing behind me.

Finally let go of Manny, too.

To Belle Isle.

Hey.

I heard you earlier.

I-I hope this helps you feel better.

That you'll be out, free for a bit.

Oh, I'm not going.

I have to stay here.

- But why? I-I thought...
- Are you sure?

I just have to stay... here.

See you when we get back?

Yeah.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

So...

you notice anything suspicious?

I mean, have you figured
out the mystery yet?

(EXHALES)

Guess the time machine's
not working tonight.

(CHUCKLES)

That's what you wanted
to come back here for?

Originally, yes.

Nice rock.

Worth a pretty penny.

It is. I was gonna give it to Darlene

to show her that I had always
intended to do right by her.

I tracked her down, her and her son.

Your son?

A son?

I have a son?

I have to let them go.

But why... (LAUGHS)

It's not what the Lord wanted for me.

I made the wrong choice then.

And I think that's
why this is happening.

He is showing me

the way... that I must
accept my calling.

What calling?

To be here.

To be present. To believe.

Mark : ... "All things are possible

to him that believeth".

If you'll excuse me, I'd...

like to lead a prayer.

(EXHALES)

First, let's take a moment

to give thanks for being here.

Lord, the fresh air feels good.

It's strange being back
in this place, isn't it?

What we've gone through

is a lot for any human
to bear, and they try

and they try to take our humanity away,

but they won't succeed.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Let's give praise to Sister Mildred.

She's making this happen with her mind.

And Brother Noah is using his voice

to give us the privacy of this moment.

Just us... without our keepers.

They're fine, just in slumber.

Because I needed this
moment to reach you,

to let you all know that you're special.

To let you all know
that we've been taken

and brought here for a reason.

We have been brought here on a mission!

We don't know exactly what it is yet.

But I believe that I
am here to lead you.

(OTHERS MURMURING)

Look within yourself.

See yourself and know your worth.

Know your power and own your gifts.

Because who are we

to question God's plan?

Extraordinary.

I assumed there were others,

but I never imagined

this.

I just thought finally
maybe it was my turn

to be the one people turn to.

But him.

Give him another two
weeks, and they'll be

eating out of the palm of his hand.

And I do not trust what he will do

with that kind of power.

Well... they didn't get taken back.

Instead we all just, what, fell asleep?

Something put us to sleep.

Something put everybody on Belle Isle

to sleep at the same time.

The question is: what?

The , seemed just as confused

as we were when all of us woke up.

No, we don't know what happened to them.

We were asleep.

Okay, well, we know that
they all got on the bus

with us just as planned.

Everyone accounted
for. No trouble at all.

What, you think they were faking it?

I think I'm gonna find out.

Pulling up the footage
from my body cam right now.

Score one for our
police state, by the way.

Ah, cop's got jokes.

At least we can actually see what...

happened.

So, I took the ankle bracelets off-line

for a little unscheduled
reboot, like you asked.

But I'm dying to know what happened.

Was it like an Outlander
kind of situation

or, like, more like Close Encounters?

I'm still not sure why
you're even helping us.

I don't like this whole operation.

From what I can tell,

these people shouldn't be locked up.

And even if they are aliens or clones

or run-of-the-mill time travelers,

those things aren't even crimes.

So if you two are trying to help them,

I'll help you.

Oh, come on.

We should show her.

Or is it the atmosphere on Belle Isle?

I don't know.

But I want to find out.

Let me go back to the office,
and see if I can pull

anything else from the
footage. You coming?

I can't.

Got to go lie to my girlfriend.

I'll send you the file.

No thanks. I'm waiting for my lady.

In a way.

This is the key to our future together.

I'll be able to give her

everything she deserves with this.

It's the start of our life together.

That looks heavy.

I think something like that

Me, too.

It would tempt me into becoming
someone I didn't want to be.

And that's why I'm never gonna wear it.

I'm gonna be free.

We're gonna be free.

If she comes looking for me,

can you tell her I'll be right back?

Sure thing.

ANDRE: That ended up being
a rather eventful evening.


I guess I kind of got
wrapped up in the idea

that it was gonna be more eventful.

That we'd return.

I, too, am sad for what we lost.

But what we've all gone through,

it's truly awe-inspiring and...

... I'm also grateful

for what I have found here.

Me, too, Doc.

uh, I think we continue to be

in a confounding situation.

As to what that heralds for our future,

I...

cannot say.

Perhaps it will become
clearer in the morning.

Perhaps.

Good night.
