Sanctuary (2008–2011): Season 2, Episode 3 - Eulogy - full transcript

Previously on
Sanctuary...

Name.

Kate Freelander.
For the record, I'm not cabal.

Dana Whitcomb.

You have my daughter.
I want her back.

Your daughter, or your work?

Will!

Clara, what are you
still doing here?

I thought you evacuated
with the other residents.

She wasn't supposed to be here.

Ashley, please...



Mom?

Helen?

It's a miracle.

Ashley?

Mom.

Welcome home.

Hmm.

The repairs
on the Beijing Sanctuary

will be finished in March.

And how long before the Moscow
and London Sanctuaries

are reopened?

Three months,

provided the contractors
hold to their estimates.

Tokyo, however, is a total loss.



Which means we have

a lot of dispossessed residents
to deal with.

The Sanctuary Network survived.

That's what matters most.

It's just... hard to keep that
in mind sometimes.

Yes. Clara.

So many tragedies to process.

I take it that's our cargo.

No, ours is in the hold.

Okay, well, I've got
five trucks waiting, so...

And the rest?

Magnus said you requested space
for 20 abnormal refugees.

Not 20 abnormals,
20 containers of abnormals.

Oh...

Whoo-hoo!
I can see the light.

Oh!

Now, that's better.

Whoo, man, was it hot in there!

Boy, I could sure do
with a lemonade.

Yo, Beijing,
what's a guy gotta do

to get a cold drink
around here, huh? Huh?

Ooh, you're a lot of help.

I'm out of here.
See you.

We're going to need
some more trucks.

Stop doting on me.
It makes my teeth itch.

Mine too. Now, eat.

I should be helping
Henry and Will.

Oh, they're fine.

Everything's running
smooth as silk.

Oh, no, you don't.

Okay...

This is a freaking mess.

Whoa! So many
wonderful guests!

You know, we got to figure out
a tagging system or something,

'cause half these things

shouldn't even be
breathing the same air.

- Whoo!
- Hey!

Whoa...

Come on,
come and get it, shorty!

I'm short?

Okay, so all grade four
security risks are in the Shoe.

How's the food and water
holding up?

Hey, down, Smithers.
Git...

All right. Yeah, yeah,

I pulled in big favors
from our suppliers.

Got, um--

Whoa...

Yeah, he's-he's not well.

Oh, God...

I hope the plumbing
holds up.

Yeah, it's not the plumbing
I'm worried about.

Magnus isn't letting me
reset the EM shield.

It's still set
to high security mode.

You have any idea
what kind of drain that is

on our electrical system?

Well, I'm sure Magnus
is not overly concerned

about the utility bill
right now.

I know, I'm just saying,

we can't even plug in
a toaster right now

without blowing a fuse.

I got 1 5 guests
in the upper levels.

I got another dozen
in trucks waiting for rooms--

Henry, Henry, look.
I know, okay?

Everything's a mess right now,
but we can handle it.

Really? Well, tell that
to the 12 guys waiting in the--

Dude, we can handle it, okay?

Let's just give 1 1 0°%
and take it one game at a time.

Okay, one game at a time.

It's time for you to be the man.

Be the man. Look out!
Smithers, come on!

Would you--
Could you--

Sorry... About him.

All right, be the man.

Be the man...

Hmm...

Good times.

Hey.

Wow...

See, this is why we ask for
a cleaning deposit from you

when you check in.

Ha ha.

So you're really going, huh?

Well, I can't exactly stay.

I mean, the whole
attack on this place,

me shooting the boss' kid
with a rocket,

the kid going boom...

Things are just too, uh...

weird now.

Things are usually weird
around here,

but I agree, they're
especially weird right now.

Look, I appreciate you guys

Ietting me stay here
as long as you have,

but you need room
at the inn, so--

Kate, do you want to stay here?

No. Why do you ask?

Well, you've taken
your sweet time leaving.

You've obviously
made yourself at home.

I don't know.

Well, the leg's still
a bit stiff.

I was planning on waiting
until I was in peak condition

before shipping out.

Whatever.

Look, if you're leaving,
clean the place up,

and if you're staying,
clean the place up.

Yeah, yeah.

- Garbage pickup's at 4.00.
- Good to know.

"Garbage pickup is at 4.00."

Stop, all right?

Are we going to do this now?
Are we going to do this now?

Okay, fine, and don't
bare your teeth at me!

I know what that means
when you do that!

Please, Will, come in.

We'll discuss this later.

God...

I know you've had
your hands full,

and I really appreciate you
all giving me some time,

but I'm hardly the only one

personally affected
by recent events.

We haven't spoken since
Clara's memorial service.

Yeah, which was five days ago.

Magnus, what happened was...

the worst thing
I could possibly imagine,

but it happened,

and you mourning Ashley alone
is not going to do yourself

or anyone else any good.
All right, without closure--

I know all of that, Will.

Then why are you
delaying the inevitable?

Why are you hiding in here?

Simple or complicated
version? Your choice.

What are you doing?

I've wanted to tell you
exactly that for days, Will,

but I had to be sure,
and now I am.

Of what?

I'm not mourning anything,
not yet...

Because I believe
there's a very real chance

that Ashley may still be alive.

Is that a real,
live Stenopelhabilis?

Not so much alive as dead.

These two were
the last of their kind.

They bought it
when London was hit.

I didn't even know there was
any left in existence.

There are many species
under our care

we prefer people
to believe are extinct.

No way, you had a male
and a female?

We were trying to breed them.

Dr. Magnus wanted them
brought here for study,

and safekeeping.

What?

Well, you don't think
I know about the tusks?

That's all you see, isn't it?

Dude, do you know
how much those are worth

on the European market alone?

And I'm talking for each pair.

Forget about Asia,
that'd be, like, double the--

Who are you?

Ark-Fong Li,
head of the Beijing Sanctuary,

meet Kate Freelander,
professional pain in the ass,

who I believe was just leaving.

I was, but Will asked me
to stay a little longer

and help out
with all the newbies and stuff.

Garbage detail. My idea.

See ya.

How could she have survived?

And believe me, I say this

wanting her to be somewhere,
anywhere, alive and well.

Which could very well
be the case.

The first attacker
teleported at 1 8.25 hours.

Notice the change in
the EM field's strength?

The second attempted teleport

happened less than
three minutes later.

Further destabilizing
the field.

Exactly.

So you're saying the EM field
was unstable when--

Ashley teleported
at 18.29 hours.

You think she got through?

A further analysis
needs to be done

to determine exactly
where she could have landed.

I need you to be
my emotional compass.

We nearly lost
the entire Sanctuary Network

because of my judgment.

I need to know that
my instincts aren't wrong.

That my feelings don't end up
blinding my decisions.

Heck, yeah.

Come to Mama.

Okay, I'm going to gag.

I'll be damned...

Love child of the dead.

Shh...

Hey...

Come to Mama...

Ow!

You little--

Oh, great.

Fabulous!

If we move the Kitapholus
Drocena here,

we could put the Seroslugs

on the third floor
by the Lotus Elks.

No, Lotus Elk eat Seroslug.

What about the cryo-lab?

Uh, that's the only room
that goes to minus 30 degrees.

I was hoping to save that
for the Northern Halcylops.

Ah, what about the Pradophili?

- Ooh, Pradophili!
- Yeah, okay.

Hey! Ape man...

and short human guy,

I ordered Thai food,
like, an hour ago.

What, are you clowns
on strike, or what?

Look, annoying insect guy,

you'll eat
when it's your turn to eat.

Oh, wait a minute.

You hate me because
I got wings, don't you?

Because I have the freedom
of flight and you don't!

Yeah, that's why I hate you.

Now go back to your shoebox
and let us work, please.

Ooh, uh,
you going to eat that?

Because I can make a serious
smorgasbord with that.

Hey, listen, will you go away
if I give it to you?

Whoa, holy jeez!
The density of these things.

I can feel my deltoids.

Oh... Hey, sweet cheeks,
my room, now!

You wish. Hey...

What happened to you?

Oh, yeah.

Well, it seems like
the dead female Steno

was still able to carry
a healthy baby,

and mazel tov, she had one.

That's great!

We should put it
in an incubator or something.

Slight problem.
It got away.

Say again?

Hey, I tried to stop it,

but the little bugger
tried to eat me.

They were all in stasis.

Mom was in stasis.

Junior, as it turns out,
not so much.

This is not good.
This is not good.

We have to find it

before it gets eaten
by something, or vice versa.

What were you doing down there?

That is a very...
astute question.

Perhaps you'd like
to sell me too?

Maybe.

A baby Stenopelhabilis.

How in the...

Oh, nasty food.

No, no, no, no, no.
Not good for you at all.

Here, now.
Here, just let me--

I know that look.
Just spill it.

What do you think
happens after we die?

You've seen more lives end
than anyone else that I know.

Kurt and Albert and I got
into this discussion once

at a Princeton football game.

I think it was 1953.

Albert argued that the concept
of matter equaling energy,

and vice versa,

was far more ubiquitous than
any of us could have imagined.

That would be Kurt Godel
and Albert Einstein?

Of course. Look, I'm a guy
hammering in stakes here.

You want to have a little mercy?

What do I think death is?

Yeah.

Did you ever see
"Field of Dreams"?

Yeah, I loved that movie.

The cornfield.
It's rather like that.

I never understood
what happened in the cornfield.

Nobody did.
That was the point.

Helen...

You're missing out
on all the fun.

There's food if you're hungry.

Dr. Li can patch you up
if you're injured.

I haven't the time.

I wonder why.

You'll be pleased to know

Nikola and I are making
significant headway

into the Cabal's operations.

Individual cells exist,

but the central
brain trust has... been undone.

You're killing them off.

Well, they exist only
as disparate,

disconnected camps now.

And Dana Whitcomb?

A fugitive, but it's only
a matter of time.

She will answer
for what she's done.

With her life?
Will that help?

On second thought,
don't answer that.

Perhaps once I've found her,

I'll simply hand her over
to the authorities?

I don't need your blessing!

And there is a part of you

that's dying for the moment
I come and tell you it's done.

I'm choosing to focus
on other things, John,

Iike rebuilding.

Then plan Ashley's funeral.

Not yet. Not until I say.

In this delusional
little game you're playing--

- There is a chance--
- Is there really?

Yes!

You may have been able
to convince these others

to follow you down
this perverse rabbit hole,

but I will not!

They took her from us

in the most unnatural way
possible!

I'm doing my part.

Do yours.

Gas station's five miles back.

Actually, l-I'm trying
to find Tehuatonichen.

My information says
it's in this area.

Am I close?

Ain't nothin' round here
but desert.

We'll track the Steno,
and we'll bag it with snares,

or if we have to,
we'll use a shock web.

No, definitely not, and
please, gently with the snares.

We don't want to hurt it.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Dude...

Snares? It's a Steno.

I say you set the phasers to
1 1 and fry the sucker. Hmm?

It was defending itself,

most likely from being sold
on the black market by you.

We need some bait.

We were feeding its parents
bamboo leaves and shoots--

Or my day-old hamburger bun.

Shush.

As I was saying, we have
several rare genera of bamboo

from the southern Yangtze region

which I'm sure it will
find very delicious.

Let's just get this thing
back in a cage

before it gets eaten by
something hungrier and bigger.

I'm telling you, burgers!

Thanks for the tip.

And the whole the snare thing,
big mistake!

I can't see anything here.

There's no evidence
in the bio-scanner

of Ashley escaping
the EM field perimeter.

I've been looking at this
from the wrong point of view.

I thought the de-stabilization
in the field meant

that she might've gotten
through it.

What else could it mean?

Well, that she simply bounced
back within the field itself,

re-materialized somewhere
inside the Sanctuary.

Think about it, Will.

Why did the field weaken

at the exact moment
that she teleported?

An anomaly?

A power surge because
she was taking

one of the super abnormals
with her at the time?

You're reaching.

All we need to do is search
for elements of Ashley's DNA

inside the Sanctuary.

No, no, no, you're reaching.

We have had a work crew
in the Sanctuary for a week,

and no one has found anything

that could be possibly
be construed as a body.

But they haven't been
everywhere.

She could be disoriented...

or hurt.

Or gone.

Do you really want me to stop?

Ground floor,
lower level secured.

Okay, good. Dr. Li?

No sign yet.

Perhaps it's sleeping somewhere.

They only sleep at night.
It will definitely be awake.

Everybody stay in touch.

Wait, wait, wait. I have him.

Can you get it?

All right. All right...

On the move,
going for the lower levels.

Hey, big guy,
it's headed your way!

Ready.

Got you, you little--

Hey, what happened?

Aw, it jumped.

It can't jump.
Stenos don't do that.

Well, this one did.

Oh, damn it.
It's in the vent system.

Can't you just trap it in there?

Not fast enough.
This is very bad.

Oh, great. It's gone.

Well, you clearly don't need
my help.

This is a disaster.

The Titanic's a disaster.

Madonna's movie career,
disaster.

This is nothing.

You don't get it, do you?

I'm supposed to be the man,

and losing
a one-of-a-kind baby Steno

does not exactly make me
"the man".

Quite a predicament.

If only you had the services

of a world-class hunter/tracker
at your disposal.

Name your price.

Never say that to me
unless you mean it.

I'm saying it.

Mommy and Daddy's tusks.

No. No. No way.

The bamboo salesman
and the giant walking rug

are running the Sanctuary,

and I'm right here,
healthy, willing and able.

Come on, Henry, do you want
to be the man or not?

One steno tusk. One.

Two sets of two,
or it's not worth it.

- One set--
- The female.

Fine.

Let's roll!

Once the scan is complete,

any biological artifacts
matching Ashley's DNA

should show up.

If we do find something,
how do we know

that it's not from
one of the super abnormals

that attacked us?

Didn't they share Ashley's DNA?

I'm hopeful that there are
ways to tell the difference.

Either way,

we should have a good idea
of what really happened.

I can't tell if this
is a real investigation

or a train wreck.

Oh, look, l-I'm sorry,
I didn't--

No, no. Never stop doing
that, being honest with me.

Anything else,
and I will be insulted.

Thanks.
Sancho Panza had it easy.

Ashley and I always had
to face tragedy and loss

in our work.

I taught her a saying--
"Nos must amitto vivo en."

"We must let go to live on."

Well done, Sancho.

You know, she always faced
death better than me,

among many things.

That must've been hard,
just you and her.

It was worth every minute.

There's been an incident

at Vera's Burger Shack
on Salisbury.

Just let me handle
the cops, okay?

Can I help you folks?

Health department.

Got a call
about a code violation?

Okay, go ahead.

Health department?

No one ever checks.

So, what did I tell you?
Burgers.

Okay, shush.

It happened only 20 minutes ago.
It couldn't have gotten far.

Especially if it just ate.

Is it just me, or has
its shoe size gone up?

We're going to need
a bigger cage.

Just chowed down,
been on the run for a while.

If I was a full, tired critter,

I'd want a place
to lay low for a bit.

Make a nest.

I'm thinkin' yeah.

Yeah.

Made it myself.

I'm not hungry, thank you.

Okay.

Will, would you please
stop hovering?

I can take care of myself.

You've barely eaten
for six days.

You've had hardly any sleep.
Even for you, this is extreme.

I'm fine.

Yes and no.

You've got a clear mind,
good focus,

but you also, you know...

drift off now and again,
you leave.

It's just memories.

If this bio-scan
comes up empty--

What theory will I cook up next
to keep this quest alive?

- No, I wasn't saying that--
- Yes, you were.

I need to know, are you
searching for closure...

or a miracle?

There are no such thing
as miracles.

It's found something.

Okay, the coordinates say
it should be right...

There.

Oh, my God.

Once you get it free,
bring it to the lab.

I'll run a full autopsy.

I'll meet you there.

Big guy, if you
want me to do this--

No.

- Oh!
- Wow.

Okay. Okay, I draw the line.

Come on.

Big kudos to the consultant.

You were right about it
trying to find a place

to lay low.

That's a sewer down there.

Yeah.

City worker gets
attacked in the sewer.

We go into the sewers.

And the stink that never
comes out of your clothes?

Are we ignoring the need
for new wardrobe?

Get in the hole.

Okay, but not with this.

No, no, come on,
get with the program, please.

Hank, reality check.

This thing just sent a fry cook
and a sewer worker

to the Emergency room
with lacerations.

It's obviously way nastier
than it was this morning.

You want the tusks or not?

- Anything?
- The remains are too burnt

to determine
a fingerprint pattern.

What about you?

X-rays we were able to recover.

Tissue analysis
and bone density results

will take a little more time.

This isn't Ashley.

How can you tell?

Ashley broke her right femur
when she was 12 years old.

This one shows no evidence
of re-calcification.

These are the remains of one
of the other super abnormals

that attacked us.

Okay, well, it's something.

Look, l-I know you were hoping
for something else, but--

Hey...

I'm feeling quite tired, Will.

I think I'll lie down
for a while.

These fries look almost fresh.
It's got to be close.

Once we do bag it, breaking it
from its junk food habit

is going to be a bitch.

All right, these tunnels rejoin
a couple blocks south of here,

so you take left, I'll go right.

We'll flush it out into
the open on the other side.

Sounds like a plan.

Keep in touch, and remember--

Stun. No gun. I got it.

Yeah. Great.

Policy-schmolicy.

Hello.

What are you looking for?

A place that doesn't exist,
apparently.

Tehuatonichen.

Yes.

You're right, it doesn't exist.

And yet you've heard of it.

Einstein was right.
Matter into energy.

- Right, but landing where?
- The EM field itself.

That's what
the fluctuation means.

That's why I keep seeing...

The magnitude and amplitude
of the field increased

at the time of her jump.

EM fields absorb energy.

She could be somewhere
in the EM field's buffer,

trapped mid-teleport.

- In the computer?
- Exactly.

That's insane.

Ashley teleported
with another super abnormal.

The fluctuation could be
the EM field's buffer

capturing both signatures
and storing them--

Okay. Okay, even if she is
in here, somehow,

what are you going to do?

You're going try to
communicate with her?

You going to try
to pull her out somehow?

If we could recreate
her signature effectively,

there may be a way to-to...
- To what?

There are so many variables
to consider, Will,

- so many pieces to this puzzle.
- Oh, Magnus...

One more test.

I run an exponential
wave analysis.

I search the EM field
for her particular--

Magnus!

Okay. Okay...

What next?

Come on, Junior...

Easy, now.
Let's take this nice and slow.

Do you want a piece of
me, boy? Huh? Do you?

You're a boy, right?

So, it's bigger.

Move! Move, move!

I thought you said no guns!

I said no guns for you.

Ow.

Get off of me.

Where the hell are we?

Uh, I don't know.

Looks like your room.

Hey... these are my jeans.

- Oh, man.
- What?

I think we found its nest.

Okay, we got to
get out of here.

Why didn't it kill you
in the tunnel back there?

Henry, it's coming!

Yeah, I know!
Just hold on a sec!

I'm going to empty
a mag into it!

- No, you are not!
- Oh, yeah, I am!

Food, water, shelter...

Oh, Kate, wait!

- Henry!
- No, no, no!

What the hell?

Look around you.
What's the first thing it did?

It licked your face,
ate your food,

stole your clothes.

You were the first thing it saw.

It thinks you're its mother.

I think it has your eyes.

Oh, barf.

Get off.

I came to return this to you.

It was given to me
in the Amazon.

He was Sani,
our last living shaman,

spirit leader of our tribe.

I was asked to bring him home.

For 300 years

we've been waiting
for his return.

This means my ancestors
will be at peace.

We want you to have this.

It was meant for you.

May it guide you
through dark places

and into the light.

You should see this.

I'm truly sorry, Magnus.

Tell everyone the memorial
service will be tomorrow.

I need to reset the EM field.

There's your rare baby, Dr.
Li, intact and everything.

You've traumatized it.

It keeps showing its teeth.

To you, not to me.

You're just jealous

because Ralphie chose me
for its mother.

You don't even know
what gender it is.

Does it really matter?

Ral-fee...

It's got a-a ring to it.

Ow!

You're growing on him.

Feels good, doesn't it?
Being a good guy?

Meh.

I got to admit,
you're pretty good at this.

Back at ya, Hank.

So... going to stick around?

Well, I got to get paid,
don't l?

Right.

Well, a deal's a deal.
One Steno set.

Have fun in Maui.

Tell you what,
hang onto them for me.

I'll collect them later.

See you, baby.

I see you've come
to your senses.

Interesting turn of phrase.

All my senses tell me that
she's still alive, somewhere--

Stop. Please.

In the end, what she chose to do

she did as Ashley,
not what they turned her into.

Yes.

Please take some solace in that.

I think not.

Are you joining us?

You may have found closure.

I haven't.

Not yet.

John...

Nos must amitto vivo en.

We must let go.

I can't.

You have to, Mom.

But you're...

You're my life.

Without you--

You'll never be without me,

and I know
that you will always love me.

No matter what.

Ashley!

Please...

I'm so sorry.
