Oh, for f*ck's sake!
This isn't gonna work if you

They're called "dreams" here.
I held them at bay for a few years,

it became very difficult to know
when I was dreaming and when I wasn't.
[VOICE DISTORTS]
But this is now,

And they're looking for me.
Always looking.
The men with g*ns and X-ray eyes.
I had to bring you to a place
where they couldn't listen.
Or see.
We waited for you
to return with water.
Yeah...
Long enough to watch the seas boil.
But you never came.
I got distracted.
That's why I sent for you,
my best, and brightest pupil.
Our last hope.
Lesson one, don't smoke.
Or if you do, get yourself
a lighter like this one.
They'll know you really mean it.
You abandoned us.
Is that what they say about me?
There was a consensus,
never to say your name.
I defended you.
How many are left?
And try not to sound like a toddler.
We took a roster at every orbit.
There was always one less.
How many,

Only a few thousand.

Just a teensy bit.
Just enough.
A scooch.
You have to see with their eyes.
But you mustn't,
become attached.
You mustn't.
To save Anthea,
you'll have to work fast,
and follow my instructions precisely.
It's taken all these years
to prepare everything for you.
I brought you here,
to finish what I started.
And when we succeed this time,
I will finally get to
leave this lonely, lonely place.
You know, my eyes...

I got a funny ping.
SPENCER: You brought me a ping?
Well, it's a little more than that.
Something weird enough
to get flagged by cryptography.
They couldn't cr*ck it.
SPENCER: Okay.
This is a -year-old CIA file,
with a lot of black lines.
- It was a tornado.
- Tornado?
Out of Los Alamos, few hours ago.
You do tornados now?
We detected a signal,
broadcasting, from inside the funnel.
Bi-directional.
That's crosstalk.
That's a glitch.
Los Alamos, that's Kirkland air base.
So it's probably a bug
in the AWACS radar.
Ping was flagged
in connection with this file.
Same frequency popped up years ago.
Same location.
IT WAS TAGGED:
"An Anomalous Noise Event."
Cryptography thinks
it's a possible terror thr*at.
So, we need to understand
how those signals connect.
Forty-five years ago?
Who filed the original report?
Everybody listed in this file is dead.
- So?
- Except a guy.
Where is he?
Denali, Alaska.
Dr. Gregory Papel.
An agency psychiatrist
out of Technical Services.
Best I can do is coordinates.
It's not really
an address sorta place,
and I need someone I can trust
to talk to this guy,
without bells and whistles.
See what you can pull out of him, huh?
Anything for you.

Keep your eyes open.
Open your f*ckin' eyes, wide!
That looks like a contact to me.
[SPENCER GRUNTING]
[MUFFLED]
I'm not wearing contacts.
I'm not wearing contacts.
[MUFFLED SCREAMING]
[SCREAMING IN PAIN]
Ow! What the f...
What the f*ck?
You crazy bastard!
[SPENCER PANTING AND GROANING]
PAPEL: Had to make sure.
Make sure of what?
Who do you think I am?
Everyone else is dead.
Okay, look, um,
I just came here...
You were sent here!
No sh*t! Who would volunteer
to come to this sh*thole?
[GRUNTS]
Got to keep on top of it,
got to keep on top of it!
Lord, wash away my iniquity,
wash away my iniquity
and cleanse me of my sin.
Can you guys bring the food?
Grandpa made it over years and years.
He made all the broken things
come alive again,
before his hands curled up.
He's a builder bee.
Now, you're the builder bee.
[CHUCKLES]
[GROANS]
MOLLY: People came from all over.
It was so cool.
- Here you go.
- We built a lot of this
together, you know.
[GRUNTS]
Where do you think my girls
get it from, hmm?
The Nerd Farm brought
Grandpa from the Bahamas,
'cause he's a super genius.
God bless the Nerds!
Mom worked there, too.
The Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Your field was particle physics.
Her doctoral dissertation
evolved your work.
She is quantifiably more intelligent.
[LAUGHS]
How much more?
Is there a percentage?
Twenty-six.
Did you tell him to say that?
Yeah, I did.
[CHUCKLES]
She's brilliant.
No matter how she feels,
she's brilliant!
A flawed path does not
make that any less true.
Everyone makes mistakes.
FARADAY: What flaws?
What mistakes?
You have a bus to catch.
FARADAY: It'll be faster
if you drive me to Seattle.
JUSTIN: Yeah, but I'm not going to.
We're gonna eat, quick.
We haven't had company
for four or five years.
There is a bird in the dogsled.
Dad, you are not allowed to like him.
- It's too late.
- Maybe there's a dog in the bird-sled.
Are you a radical theorist?
Are you gonna eat your fries?
You are a formidable pupa.
Hmm.
Wash away my iniquity
and cleanse me of my sin.
[CONTINUES MUMBLING INDISTINCTLY]
SPENCER: Hey, I can, um...
I can tell you everything I know.
Uh...
It's, It's not much, but...
But maybe it'll help us relax.
[CONTINUES MUMBLING]
Okay, sir?
I came here 'cause there was, uh...
Uh, a signal in a tornado
about hours ago.
Okay?
And your name,
it was attached to a file.
The signal was bi-directional.
Which, i-it's...
I-I-It's like there's two...
There's two people talking.
Does that mean anything,
to you?
Two people?
Two people.
I'm just trying to figure out
why that signal pinged your file,
from years ago, man.
[BREATHES HEAVILY]
That's when we first heard it!
He was trying to send a message.
I guess someone finally answered.
Who?
What message?
[YELLS] You are so f*cked!
They just sent you,
they sent you, like one
of those Airedale dogs,
in World w*r I,
running between the trenches.
Good boy, good boy.
Or, a German Shepherd out in space,
or a monkey on a rocket!
A monkey can be a cosmonaut,
'cause they didn't tell him
he's gonna die.
You're gonna die.
Or, you're gonna want to,
after what they make you do.
[SOBBING]
I thought insurance
would keep me alive.
That f*cking film!
That's what you came for.
I have no f*cking clue what
you're talking about, man.
What film?
[CRYING]
He was sweet.
He was so sweet.
Newton.
His face,
an angel.
He was like, an angel.
It's still f*cking looking at me,
when I close my eyes.
Nothing gets rid of it.
Not even prayer.
But, just, who...
Who are you talking about?
Who's Newton?
We took his eyes out.
We made him a psychopath.
We did that.
- I did that!
- Hey.
- No. No, no way, Dr. Papel.
- [SOBBING]
You-You did your job, okay?
You did your job.
And that's okay.
But tell me,
who are you talking about?
And, what insurance?
What film?
I sure learned what's inside me.
I sure did.
This ends now.
One monkey to another.
I won't let you do it again.
No one will survive it!
Okay, f*ckin' wait!
Wait, wait, wait!
Dr. Papel, wait, please.
Please.
I just go.
I go where they send me, okay?
Hell is where we're going.
[GROANS]
[GRUNTS]
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[BOTH GRUNTING]
I took his eyes!
He's insane!
He's insane!
Do you know what that means?
Yeah.
No.
No.
You don't.
And now there's another one.
Oh, God,
I am so f*cking tired.
You got no idea what's coming to you.
[SHOTGUN FIRES]

JOSIAH: Dear God in Heaven.
- [SOFT PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]
- You have your mysteries.
You've made us to be flawed.
In our flaws,
we see our possibilities.
In our flaws,
we see your mercy.
We see your wisdom.
We see who you want us to be,
and who we can be.
We thank you for the opportunities,
for us to discover ourselves
through our mistakes.
We're humble in your presence.
Grateful, Almighty.
Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Who, are you talking to?
Most times, it's the Lord,
but I heard him say it
about Tina Turner.
[ALL LAUGHING]
What are the mysteries?
Things people don't know.
You are a scientist.
How can you allow that to be?
Allowing it to be,
makes me a scientist.
You're not supposed
to know everything.
That is right.
That's the truth.
Are you afraid, to take me
where I have to go?
- What?
- FARADAY: I smell it.
The amygdala response
in your brain was triggered,
when Josiah said, things go astray.
Maybe you're smelling the cow
we're eating right now.
Nowhere to run.
Nowhere to hide.
MOLLY: My mom doesn't get afraid.
Or, if she does, she does it anyway.
- Yeah.
- Well, things do go astray.
One little cell went astray in my body,
and caused all...
Caused all this...
I am aware.
I like your cells.
Mm-hmm.
It's frightening, when in one moment,
everything changes.
And you get jammed up, and caught up,
and you have to explain
your whole damn life!
- Dad?
- She was a world changer.
You know how many
come along in a generation?
- One.
- Hey, Dad? Dad?
- [MOLLY BREATHING HEAVILY]
- The pupa is afraid as well.
- Don't talk about my child, please.
- No faith!
A white girl would never...
White girl would've cried.
She would've been given
a hanky and a cookie.
They made her defend herself.
We had to defend her!
- Defend her from what?
- Dad, you're freaking her out.
Molly, come sit with me, baby.
Come on.
You're a world changer!
- Stop it! Stop!
- My stomach hurts.
- Molly? Molly.
- Oh.
It's time for you to go.
She is not utilizing her purpose.
You think I don't know that?
- Hey, we're leaving.
- You have to take me,
- to
- I don't. I have to work.
The equation is ill-conceived.
I have purpose,
you and Molly have potential.
Josiah has neither.
You mind your mouth, boy.
He does not need you.
You can place him with the others,
- until...
- Don't say that out loud.
- MOLLY: Mom, my stomach hurts.
- I'll be right there, Molly.
FARADAY: Josiah, it is clear,
that you have exceeded,
any usefulness, you ever possessed.
A final useful act
would be for you to die,
now, and free Justin,
to realize her potential.
I take care of him, okay?
End of f*cking story.
- Juzzie!
- Get up. Get up.
Go wait outside.
Juzzie.
He's telling us God's truth, you know.
[DOOR CLOSES]
Mom?
Get in, and wait.
Mommy, my stomach really hurts.
Oh, I know, baby.
Portia's gonna take care
of you till I get back, okay?
- MOLLY: For how long?
- Real quick, baby.
[WINDCHIMES TINKLING]
- [TV PLAYING]
- JUSTIN: Portia!
[KNOCKING ON DOOR]
Twenty minutes?
Sure. No problem.
I'll be right back, okay, baby?
Hey, you hungry?
