Sanctuary (2008–2011): Season 3, Episode 6 - Animus - full transcript
While Magnus and Nicola Tesla are busy experimenting with the holographic map Henry and Will go to England to investigate werewolf sightings.
Previously on Sanctuary...
I have spent my adult life
working with abnormals,
and now I am one.
My father
never gave me a gift
without significance.
What is
this place?
Do you think
it exists?
If it does,
we have to find it.
Shh! Quiet.
It's only me.
What the hell?
I couldn't sleep.
Daft bastard.
How'd you get in here?
Oh, I left a pint of whisky out
for O'Brien.
As soon as he'd nodded off...
You fancy a game?
Gin rummy?
At this hour?
Oh, go on, a quick one.
One.
You okay?
I don't know.
I haven't felt right all day.
I had no stomach for supper,
and my heart's thumping
like a bugger,
and I swear I can...
What?
Hear things.
Such as?
The others,
breathing.
Tanner,
three doors down,
wheezing away
with that sinus of his.
Mary at the end
of the hall,
short, quick,
like she's dreaming.
I don't hear nothing.
Did you talk to
Dr. Myers?
She gave me
some sort of a shot.
Told me not to worry.
Liam, just deal.
I want to go
back to sleep, eh?
No...
Sanctuary 3x06
Animus
Original Air Date on November 19, 2010
Hey.
Oh, Kate and the big guy
said to say " hasta luego ."
They offered to bring back
a chupacabra,
but I said you weren't
dating right now.
Ha ha!
That's very funny.
Hey, what's this?
A werewolf sighting?
Yeah, we don't use
the "w" word around here.
Oh, right, right.
It's, uh, hap.
It's a hyper-
accelerated protean,
thank you very much.
So, you think
there's more like you?
Yeah...
These things never
really pan out.
Okay, so you're curious,
but you're afraid
to ask the boss
if you can go.
Yeah, well, over
the last hundred years,
there's been
several sightings
in this area
of northern England, right?
Really?
Yeah, it's all centered
around a 30-kilometer radius
of a town called Oldham.
Oldham, hmm.
Maybe it's something
in the water.
Or the Guinness.
It doesn't matter.
These things
are never real.
You know
what I mean?
Guinness...
Let's go.
What?
Let's take a road trip,
just Butch and Sundance.
What about Magnus
and the magnet?
Those two are so obsessed
with the city model,
they won't even notice
we're gone.
Are you serious?
Yeah. Look, if it
turns out to be nothing,
at least we had some laughs.
Okay, what if we find--
Well, then
we'll call in the troops.
Come on, man,
I can already taste
the warm beer
and prawn crisps.
Come on.
Dude...
Oh, so I give you
the best hours of my life,
and this is
how you repay me, huh?
You teasing harlot
from Camden.
Talk to me!
Nikola, really.
Oh, no, it knows
what I'm saying.
Don't you?
Yes. Precisely.
You know, it's been
six days of this.
My wine cellar's depleted,
and frankly,
you need a shower.
Where would
science be today
if I constantly
stopped to bathe?
It's so damned
confounding.
Perhaps Gregory's
merely toying with us.
No, no, nothing
my father ever did
was random.
There's a puzzle here.
A puzzle he
expects me to solve.
It must be important.
Ll, I hate to
disappoint dear old pater,
but clearly this city
can't exist.
Not currently,
no, of course.
It's far too large
to go unnoticed.
No, I mean,
even if it did exist,
it couldn't.
It's architecturally
impossible.
We don't have
the building materials
or the technology
available
to build
such an urban leviathan.
The builders of
this hologram might have.
Speaking of
architecture,
there's a mosaic on
one of these buildings.
Now, there are subtle,
but very definite similarities
between the symbols
on that mosaic
and these ancient
Sumerian cuneiforms.
Be still, my heart.
The symbol for the sun.
The word "sumer" translates
as "land of the lords
of brightness."
A sun?
Mmm. A sun...
Now, I seem to recall seeing...
Look on the top
of that skyscraper.
It's the same symbol.
There's another
one of those.
Uh...
Here.
Does this remind
you of anything?
Progressive sequencing.
Like tumblers
in a combination lock.
Exactly.
I think we may have just found
a way in.
That's pretty good,
but we don't really
do that, though.
Okay.
How many pubs have we
been to already?
Uh, six--
no, seven--
no...
Yeah, seven,
but, you know,
it's all in the name of
scientific research, so...
Absolutely,
and what have we learned
so far, William?
That, uh, "spotted dick"
is actually a dessert.
And the people in this town
love to tell stories.
Oh, yeah.
We've got fairies...
Hobgoblins...
Leprechauns.
Which everyone knows
is baloney,
because the only place
you find Leprechauns
is in Ireland.
Right.
And as a son
of the emerald isle,
I resent the usurpment
of my national icon.
Wait a second,
"Zimmerman" is Irish?
Me ma's from Dublin.
Really?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Okay, wild wolf chase.
Sorry to drag you
along, buddy.
What is that?
Uh...
Looks like a...
Goat.
Yeah, that's been
ripped to pieces.
You got something?
It looks like
some crushed vegetation
heading off in the direction
we just came.
This is weird.
What?
Well...
There's a trail
of blood
coming from this way.
Hmm.
Looks like
it came from there.
Yeah, whatever
that is.
The Oldham
Psychiatric Institute.
Okay, so you've heard
the reports as well?
Have you ever
investigated?
Oh, we tried.
Each time we attempted
to gain access,
we were turned away.
Hmm, suspicious.
No, not really.
They're a private
facility.
They can do
what they like,
within reason.
Right, okay,
so in a town that small,
what better place
to hide a hap?
Your evidence?
G-goat.
Yeah.
It's going to
take more
than a dead goat
and village rumors
to launch a full-scale
investigation.
Tell me you're
not thinking
of doing
anything foolish.
Wha-- who, us?
No, no, we're just
a couple of blokes
on our holidays.
Whatever.
So there's
no reason for me
to bring Magnus into
the loop on this, then?
No.
Right then, gents,
enjoy the countryside.
See ya.
So, Henry...
These episodes are becoming
more frequent?
Yeah.
And I just feel like
I might hurt someone,
or, like, myself,
you know?
He's been suffering
paranoid delusions
that have been escalating
into increasingly
violent seizures.
Of course, I could
treat him at home,
but his family have
recently relocated
to England, and...
Our facility, while old,
is state of the art.
Okay.
My niece, Erika, will take you
for an evaluation.
You'll be fine.
Of course he will.
Come along, Henry.
So, Dr. Zimmerman...
According to your C.V.,
your last employment reference
was three years ago.
Yes, since then
I've been engaged on
a private consultation basis.
Oh, indeed?
Specialized cases?
Y...eah.
That's pretty cool.
Is that a subsonic
oscillator?
Do you like
electronics?
Dragon fusion.
Mmorpg.
Hacked the inner circle
in 17 seconds.
Impressive.
Is that
part of the test?
No.
Now, just relax,
and answer my questions
with the first thing
that comes to your mind.
Okay.
What's your favorite
flavor of ice cream?
Chocolate.
Do you prefer
summer or winter?
Summer.
You see a wounded
animal in the woods.
The wind carries
the scent of blood
to your nostrils.
How do you feel?
Sad.
You're doing fine.
...And as you can see,
the day room provides
plenty of activities
to keep our patients
occupied.
Yeah, I've got to say
I'm well impressed.
Ah, Erika,
how did Henry do?
See for yourself.
Oh, well done.
A moment, if I may?
Sure.
Something weird is
definitely going on here.
Between the oscillators
and the stim receptors,
that's no psych test
I've ever heard of.
There's definitely
something
I can't
put my finger on.
All right, I'm going to
go out and call Magnus,
put her in the loop.
Okay, I'm going to snoop around
on my own a little bit
from the inside.
Really?
You realize what you're
getting yourself into?
I know,
but think about it, will.
What if I'm not the only hap
in the world?
The beginning and
the ending of my line.
I bail now,
I might never know.
You were right
about Henry.
Well, you must have
suspected it too.
The question is,
why would he show up
out of the blue?
Here, of all places.
Well, at least
he found us.
I mean, does it
really matter how?
There. Now we're
getting somewhere.
And you bathed.
Thank you so much.
If we can just focus on
getting the display
up and running...
We might be granted access
to the next level,
like a computer menu.
Here it is.
Excellent.
Now what?
Now... judging by
those flashing symbols,
I'd say it's
asking for a password.
Which we don't have.
Hey...
I cracked the enigma
machine, remember??/
this is different.
Nikola, please
just take a moment
before you go off
doing anything--
now, what happens
if I press here--
And here...
Will's calling in.
Hello!
And here.
Will? Hello?
Oops.
That em pulse knocked out
the entire building.
Phones, computers--
cellphones.
Luckily
the abnormal levels
are secured
with backup power.
Well, it doesn't
do us much good.
I did find an old
vacuum tube generator
that you might be able
to resuscitate.
At the very least,
it could give us lights.
Well, what about
your... your boy?
Can't he get it
up and running?
Henry?
Yeah.
He's gone with will.
"Off to England
for a Sanctuary version of R&R.
Good luck with the ex-vampire."
Figures those two would run off
when there's real work
to be done.
Will's been leaving
notes on my computer
for the last few days.
I suppose we have been
a little consumed.
What about the other two,
booty and the beast?
They're on a mission.
Won't be back until friday.
It's just the two of us,
I'm afraid.
Hmm...
In this dark and lonely place--
don't get any ideas.
I'm too exhausted
to even banter with you.
Fine.
Go curl up with your warm milk,
and I'll, uh,
keep chipping away at the map.
Ah...
I think you've done
enough chipping for one night.
There are obviously built-in
security measures
that we have yet to understand.
I can't risk triggering
another catastrophe.
Oh, come on,
it's just one little em pulse.
I can get past it
in a heartbeat.
This is me
we're talking about here.
That's precisely the problem.
You are not
to touch the device,
is that clear?
If you've got so much energy,
go work on
my generator.
But--
Go fix my house.
What am I, your house-elf?
Thank you, Dobby!
800-f.
That is one of the finest
tube amps ever made.
You know it?
Yeah, dude, I used to
take these apart
all the time.
Well, mate,
perhaps you could tell me
why the bloody thing
doesn't work.
Yeah.
Well, it looks like
your power supply
is too close
to your rf tuner.
You need to shield it.
Hey--
You're going to get
static interference.
Just hang on,
check this out.
Ah...
I can't believe I missed that.
It's an easy mistake
to make.
Alistair.
Hey. Henry.
Glad to meet you.
We haven't had a new intake
for a long time.
Where do you
come from?
Overseas.
How'd you hear
about this place?
Oh, from a friend.
Well, it's good that you did.
You'll be safe here.
Safe?
Yeah, so long as
you follow the rules.
Unfortunately,
not everybody does.
See, a couple of residents
got into it a few days ago.
Liam turned on
his best mate, Joe...
Killed him.
Dude...
Yeah.
But he refused to take his meds.
We all know
what that means.
Time for
your medication.
Bottoms up.
Cheers.
You'll feel better now.
I'm sure I will.
Sorry, I can barely hear you.
I've barely got one bar.
Still no word from Magnus, huh?
You getting a little worried?
Satellite imagery
shows no structural damage
to your Sanctuary.
Initial sensor reports show
there's been
some kind of power hit.
Tesla.
I've ordered
a maintenance crew
to be dispatched,
but in the meantime,
the secure housing facilities
have power,
so they've probably got
the situation in hand.
How goes the, uh, holiday?
Uh, jury's still out.
You need
any support?
Not, but do me a favor
and stand by just in case I do.
Done.
Hey.
Henry.
How are you settling in?
Yeah, really good.
Met some
nice people here.
That's good.
We want you to be at home here.
It's important to feel
part of a family.
Hey, what happened there?
There was a bit of a situation.
Liam and Joe?
I heard
about that.
Liam resisted treatment,
and that's very dangerous.
Hmm.
So they just
went at each other?
Henry...
This is not something
for you to worry about.
Please, you should rest.
Sorry, I'm just
a little curious.
You are taking
your medication,
right?
Me?
Yeah.
Yup.
Not bad.
Okay...
Henry?
You shouldn't
be down here.
What the hell is this?
What kind of experiments
are you people doing?
You don't understand--
look at him! He's a...
He's--
he's a Lycan.
We all are.
What?
Wait...
You?
And Aunt Lillian,
and all of our patients.
We're all just like you.
Let me help you.
I'm a friend.
I'm not going to hurt you.
Oh, come on.
So you're telling me
that everyone in this
place is a hap?
A hyper-accelerated
protean.
We don't use
those words,
but yes.
That's why
we accepted you.
We're all
therianthropes,
the last of the Lycan clan.
Wow.
Okay, well, that explains
all the werewolf sightings
in the area.
For centuries,
we've been hunted
almost to extinction,
and that's why
this facility was built,
to protect our kind.
In here,
we are safe.
This is our refuge,
our family.
So naturally,
we're cautious of strangers.
How did you find us, Henry?
I'm from a place
called the Sanctuary.
It provides
safe harbor
for all sorts
of abnormals,
not just me.
So, you've already found
where you belong?
Yeah, I think so.
I just, um...
I've never met anyone
like me before.
What do you know about
where you came from?
Not much.
I was a foundling.
No memory of my parents.
I don't know,
maybe they're from around here.
I can run a DNA check
and see if I might find a clue.
This is amazing.
I don't know,
maybe they're from around here.
I always thought I was alone.
Now I know that's not true.
What are you doing
in my bedroom?
Well, I could think
of a dozen answers,
but I'll leave that
to Oscar Wilde.
I figured it out.
In the middle
of the night.
Well, that's when
genius works best,
doesn't it?
Nice curtains,
by the way.
Lovely pale yellow.
Or are they?
Yellow. White.
Yellow--
you're suggesting
a spectrum shift.
I'm suggesting
going beyond the spectrum,
below infrared.
You don't happen to have
a quantum cascade laser
or a gyrotron kicking around
anywhere, do you?
Not right on hand, no.
Damn.
Well, I guess
we have to build one.
Not tonight.
Helen, don't you want
to learn the secrets
of the city
your father sent you?
What if it was built
by an entirely new
race of abnormals?
Huh?
You're just content
to roll over
and go back to sleep?
You're genuinely convinced
that you can reactivate
the hologram crystal
by hitting it with
a synchrotronic light source?
No, not reactivate it.
Speak its language.
Show it who's boss.
You are brilliant.
Don't I know it?
Now, get out.
Okay.
Hey... mate.
How's it going?
Dude.
Tickety-boo.
So, it seems to me
you're not
the only one in here
who likes to tinker.
Well, Lucy there
is a demon
with model trains.
Jerry's a rocketry
enthusiast.
James can rebuild
a broken pocket watch
faster than you can
solve a Rubik's cube,
and he plays
a wicked keyboard.
Okay, so listen,
I just found out
that we're all, uh...
Part of a clan.
Lycans.
Yeah. Yeah...
I feel like we've all got
something in common.
You know, kind of like
we're all wired
the same way.
What, you mean, like,
fixing stuff?
Yeah.
Doesn't everyone do that?
E-everyone out there? No.
No, I think
that's part of
the Lycan package.
You know, that
and the changing.
No, th-that's not...
No, we don't...
Not ever?
We're in
treatment.
You don't have to worry.
I'm not worried--
we're in treatment,
and it works!
I understand that--
Henry...
Why don't you and I talk?
Privately?
There are certain things
you don't understand yet.
Yeah, like
what kind of drugs
are we actually
taking?
Some sort of
Diazepam cocktail?
You know about it?
Yeah, I tried it.
It's no answer.
It's the only answer
to keep that thing
from coming out.
Okay, Erika,
you can control it.
You don't have to
keep hiding in here.
I'm not hiding.
This is my home.
Is it really?
Where are your parents?
They died in a car crash
shortly after I was born.
Aunt Lillian
took me in.
So what about
the transformation?
No.
No, never?
You don't even know
what it's like?
Of course not.
I'm in treatment as well.
Okay, look,
I got to admit,
at first, it-it was
a little scary for me too,
but once you get the hang of it,
it's pretty awesome.
No.
I could never be
one of those things.
It's not
a thing, Erika.
It's who we are.
Not if we want to be safe.
How did you do that?
You see?
You don't have to be afraid.
I'm totally in control.
Um...
Oh!
Oh, God.
Uh, I didn't really
think that far ahead.
Uh...
Boy, that's a little awkward.
You see?
It likes it.
Apparently so.
Now fasten
your seatbelt.
Ha!
That's right,
surrender your secrets
to the master
of electricity.
Nicely done, Nikola.
Thank you.
More Sumerian script.
This could take
weeks to translate.
Or we could just...
Pull the handle.
Seems to be
scanning us.
Akhkharu?
"Blood demon?"
How do you know that symbol?
Well, my race has been
blasphemed for centuries,
but the point is,
it seems to think
I'm still a vampire.
Uh-oh.
Not just you.
Us.
It must be detecting traces
of the source blood in our DNA.
I'm not sure
that's a good thing.
Hey...
I didn't mean
to upset you earlier.
That's okay.
You're new.
After a while,
you'll understand.
Yeah, I don't know.
I might not be
sticking around.
Where would you go?
Out there.
You know, you--
all of you--
you could live
in the real world.
You could be anything you want,
be engineers,
musicians, surfers.
But what about
when the change happens?
Well, then it happens.
You learn to deal with it.
These treatments
you're taking,
they can be
modified.
The Sanctuary can
help you with that.
The treatments
are the only thing
keeping us all
from becoming monsters.
Monsters?
If you go
off-treatment,
when the change hits,
there's no controlling it.
Is that what
happened to Liam?
Liam thought
what you think,
that we can live the old way.
Then he turned into...
The thing,
murdered Joe.
I don't want to be that.
Yeah, but you're wrong.
You won't.
Yeah, when you change,
you become...
Wild, maybe.
It's like a version of yourself
that burns hotter than usual.
You don't become a killer.
Yeah. You do.
Liam did,
and Josephine,
two years ago.
That were
right in the dayroom here.
We all saw...
That's why
we have to stay here.
That's why we all have to
take the treatment,
even you.
Otherwise, we're just beasts.
Henry, I'm confused.
Yeah, join the club.
This isn't a refuge.
This is a prison.
I beg your pardon?
You want these people to
stay here their whole lives,
depending on you for everything,
but you'll do whatever it takes
to make sure they never leave.
Well, you're right.
I'll do whatever it takes
to protect my people,
my family.
Including turning them
into killers?
What are you talking about?
Haps don't kill.
Except for
the ones in here.
I talked to the others.
I know what they're afraid of.
Nonsense.
Everyone's content here.
Nobody wants to leave.
Of course nobody
wants to leave!
You've got them all terrified
that they're psychos
waiting to snap!
I've made sure they understand
the horror of
their true nature, yes.
Seeing what happened to Liam
and the others
helps us remember
why we lock
that part of ourselves away.
What are you
giving these people
so that when they turn hap
they kill
whoever's in front of them?
Kill their best friend?
I thought you
belonged here, Henry,
but now I see
you want to destroy
everything I've built.
No, I won't let you do this.
These are my people!
This is my family!
This is my house.
You wanted to know what I used
to bring out Liam's
true nature
and the ones before him?
It's time to meet
your monster, Henry.
It thinks
we're a threat.
It hit
the self-destruct.
So much for
the tender underbelly.
Oh...
What the hell
is that?
It's a particle
accelerator.
Which means we could be
in imminent danger.
Well, we have to
stop it
before it gets to the top.
Okay, the particle track
is bent using electromagnets,
thrusting it into
continuous acceleration
until it reaches
sufficient energy.
Sufficient for what?
Boom.
Can you reverse
the magnetic polarity?
I can try.
Well, what
do you know?
I'm not the only
genius in the room.
Oh, that's unfortunate.
Well, you can't just
stand here forever.
No, but I can stand here
long enough
for you to get clear.
I'm not leaving you--
come on, Helen,
we've played this out before.
Get going.
Whatever happens,
we face it together.
And we never even
said vows.
Whatever this is,
it's intent on keeping us out.
At least
it's more creative
than garlic
and holy water.
If we eliminate the threat,
maybe it'll stop.
What do you have in mind?
Make us disappear.
Elaborate.
Create an em shield
around both of us,
block the scan.
Only you'd have to
take your hand
off the accelerator.
Right.
Well, hold me close,
and either way,
I'll die a happy man.
Maybe a little tighter,
you know,
just to be safe.
If you were
any more transparent,
you'd be invisible.
Okay, hold on.
Whoa! Whoa,
hold on a second!
Get away!
Get away from me!
Hold on a second.
I'm not gonna hurt you!
What do you want?
I'm here
to help you, okay?
Look, I know what you are.
I have a friend
who's just like you.
I didn't mean
to kill anyone.
I... I didn't mean
to kill anyone.
I know, which is why
you need to trust me.
Here.
Here.
I'm here to help.
Okay. Okay.
Hey, what is this?
What are you doing?
What is that?
Certain behaviors
are unacceptable here, Henry.
Anger, aggression.
Truth, transformation,
how about that?
In order to protect our people,
there's a protocol
that needs to be followed.
No...
I'm not a monster.
None of us are.
It's not in
our nature to kill.
We shall see about that,
and so will the others.
No... no!
No, hey, wait.
Hey. Hey!
Hey!
I've got to get Henry
out of there.
There's no signal.
I'm sorry.
I can't go back in there.
All right, just...
Just try to stay out of sight
until I can get
some help, okay?
There's a door
around the east wing
leads to the basement.
Joe and I,
we jimmied it
so we could
get in and out.
Try the treatment rooms
down there first.
All right.
East wing? Okay.
What if he's right?
I mean, what if
there's a way
we can control ourselves
without medication?
Erika, I know
what's best for you!
It's been a long day,
all right?
We're ll
a little tired.
Now, just let me
handle this,
and it will all
be over soon.
all right?
Henry...
Hey, man.
Come on.
I-it's me.
Henry,
remember me?
Huh?
Good old, uh, Will?
Henry, be cool.
It's okay.
Just be cool.
Henry!
Erika, no!
No one
needs to live
locked up like this.
Right, now, just, uh...
Just hold there,
and let's get to work.
You're telling me
this is all
the contact we needed?
Yeah, sure,
but, you know,
it was a lot more
fun the other way,
don't you think?
All right,
the energy blast
must have launched
its inner defense
mechanism.
Au contraire.
It kicked it
into high gear.
The only reason
that the alarm went off
was because it found
vampire blood
coursing through
our veins.
Although
I can't imagine
what it has
against my kind.
You realize what
this means, don't you?
The builders of this map
knew of vampires.
And despised us,
and we almost died
because of
some old grudge.
You're not taking this
personally, are you?
Me? Of course I am.
Looks like we made it
to the next level.
So, what's first, mate?
Paris? New York?
Gonna do the lot.
All right, well,
drop me a line
from the Himalayas.
Listen, if you
want anything,
ring me.
We're family now...
Dude.
You take care.
Sure.
Come on, then.
Erika...
How could you stop
taking the treatment?
Aunt Lillian,
I was never sick.
Come on.
Oh, uh...
I'm gonna be over here...
If you need me.
So I guess
you're free now.
I guess I am.
Go where you want.
You can do what you want.
What do you think
you're going to do--
Yeah, that is
a very good start.
Remember,
treat it nicely.
I will, I will.
All right,
talk me through it.
This symbol here, what is it?
Clouds in a sky?
I believe that's
"celestial horizons."
Uh-huh, and...
What about this one?
"Dwelling place."
Dwelling place?
This one here
reminds me an awful lot
of your bedroom door.
Ah, it could mean
a number of things.
"Doorway"
or "threshold," or...
Here it is.
"Ka harag."
Voice activated.
What was it
you just said?
"Gateway."
Almost looks like
another planet.
It does.
Could it be?
A galaxy
far, far away?
No, this is not
extraterrestrial.
The tunnel systems
correspond perfectly
with the location
of the continents
here on earth.
Three open calderas.
The only way
into the core.
Nikola...
This is our own planet,
right here, right now.
But miles
below the surface.
We're looking
at an atlas.
A 3D map of hollow Earth.
== sync by elderman ==
I have spent my adult life
working with abnormals,
and now I am one.
My father
never gave me a gift
without significance.
What is
this place?
Do you think
it exists?
If it does,
we have to find it.
Shh! Quiet.
It's only me.
What the hell?
I couldn't sleep.
Daft bastard.
How'd you get in here?
Oh, I left a pint of whisky out
for O'Brien.
As soon as he'd nodded off...
You fancy a game?
Gin rummy?
At this hour?
Oh, go on, a quick one.
One.
You okay?
I don't know.
I haven't felt right all day.
I had no stomach for supper,
and my heart's thumping
like a bugger,
and I swear I can...
What?
Hear things.
Such as?
The others,
breathing.
Tanner,
three doors down,
wheezing away
with that sinus of his.
Mary at the end
of the hall,
short, quick,
like she's dreaming.
I don't hear nothing.
Did you talk to
Dr. Myers?
She gave me
some sort of a shot.
Told me not to worry.
Liam, just deal.
I want to go
back to sleep, eh?
No...
Sanctuary 3x06
Animus
Original Air Date on November 19, 2010
Hey.
Oh, Kate and the big guy
said to say " hasta luego ."
They offered to bring back
a chupacabra,
but I said you weren't
dating right now.
Ha ha!
That's very funny.
Hey, what's this?
A werewolf sighting?
Yeah, we don't use
the "w" word around here.
Oh, right, right.
It's, uh, hap.
It's a hyper-
accelerated protean,
thank you very much.
So, you think
there's more like you?
Yeah...
These things never
really pan out.
Okay, so you're curious,
but you're afraid
to ask the boss
if you can go.
Yeah, well, over
the last hundred years,
there's been
several sightings
in this area
of northern England, right?
Really?
Yeah, it's all centered
around a 30-kilometer radius
of a town called Oldham.
Oldham, hmm.
Maybe it's something
in the water.
Or the Guinness.
It doesn't matter.
These things
are never real.
You know
what I mean?
Guinness...
Let's go.
What?
Let's take a road trip,
just Butch and Sundance.
What about Magnus
and the magnet?
Those two are so obsessed
with the city model,
they won't even notice
we're gone.
Are you serious?
Yeah. Look, if it
turns out to be nothing,
at least we had some laughs.
Okay, what if we find--
Well, then
we'll call in the troops.
Come on, man,
I can already taste
the warm beer
and prawn crisps.
Come on.
Dude...
Oh, so I give you
the best hours of my life,
and this is
how you repay me, huh?
You teasing harlot
from Camden.
Talk to me!
Nikola, really.
Oh, no, it knows
what I'm saying.
Don't you?
Yes. Precisely.
You know, it's been
six days of this.
My wine cellar's depleted,
and frankly,
you need a shower.
Where would
science be today
if I constantly
stopped to bathe?
It's so damned
confounding.
Perhaps Gregory's
merely toying with us.
No, no, nothing
my father ever did
was random.
There's a puzzle here.
A puzzle he
expects me to solve.
It must be important.
Ll, I hate to
disappoint dear old pater,
but clearly this city
can't exist.
Not currently,
no, of course.
It's far too large
to go unnoticed.
No, I mean,
even if it did exist,
it couldn't.
It's architecturally
impossible.
We don't have
the building materials
or the technology
available
to build
such an urban leviathan.
The builders of
this hologram might have.
Speaking of
architecture,
there's a mosaic on
one of these buildings.
Now, there are subtle,
but very definite similarities
between the symbols
on that mosaic
and these ancient
Sumerian cuneiforms.
Be still, my heart.
The symbol for the sun.
The word "sumer" translates
as "land of the lords
of brightness."
A sun?
Mmm. A sun...
Now, I seem to recall seeing...
Look on the top
of that skyscraper.
It's the same symbol.
There's another
one of those.
Uh...
Here.
Does this remind
you of anything?
Progressive sequencing.
Like tumblers
in a combination lock.
Exactly.
I think we may have just found
a way in.
That's pretty good,
but we don't really
do that, though.
Okay.
How many pubs have we
been to already?
Uh, six--
no, seven--
no...
Yeah, seven,
but, you know,
it's all in the name of
scientific research, so...
Absolutely,
and what have we learned
so far, William?
That, uh, "spotted dick"
is actually a dessert.
And the people in this town
love to tell stories.
Oh, yeah.
We've got fairies...
Hobgoblins...
Leprechauns.
Which everyone knows
is baloney,
because the only place
you find Leprechauns
is in Ireland.
Right.
And as a son
of the emerald isle,
I resent the usurpment
of my national icon.
Wait a second,
"Zimmerman" is Irish?
Me ma's from Dublin.
Really?
Yeah.
I didn't know that.
Okay, wild wolf chase.
Sorry to drag you
along, buddy.
What is that?
Uh...
Looks like a...
Goat.
Yeah, that's been
ripped to pieces.
You got something?
It looks like
some crushed vegetation
heading off in the direction
we just came.
This is weird.
What?
Well...
There's a trail
of blood
coming from this way.
Hmm.
Looks like
it came from there.
Yeah, whatever
that is.
The Oldham
Psychiatric Institute.
Okay, so you've heard
the reports as well?
Have you ever
investigated?
Oh, we tried.
Each time we attempted
to gain access,
we were turned away.
Hmm, suspicious.
No, not really.
They're a private
facility.
They can do
what they like,
within reason.
Right, okay,
so in a town that small,
what better place
to hide a hap?
Your evidence?
G-goat.
Yeah.
It's going to
take more
than a dead goat
and village rumors
to launch a full-scale
investigation.
Tell me you're
not thinking
of doing
anything foolish.
Wha-- who, us?
No, no, we're just
a couple of blokes
on our holidays.
Whatever.
So there's
no reason for me
to bring Magnus into
the loop on this, then?
No.
Right then, gents,
enjoy the countryside.
See ya.
So, Henry...
These episodes are becoming
more frequent?
Yeah.
And I just feel like
I might hurt someone,
or, like, myself,
you know?
He's been suffering
paranoid delusions
that have been escalating
into increasingly
violent seizures.
Of course, I could
treat him at home,
but his family have
recently relocated
to England, and...
Our facility, while old,
is state of the art.
Okay.
My niece, Erika, will take you
for an evaluation.
You'll be fine.
Of course he will.
Come along, Henry.
So, Dr. Zimmerman...
According to your C.V.,
your last employment reference
was three years ago.
Yes, since then
I've been engaged on
a private consultation basis.
Oh, indeed?
Specialized cases?
Y...eah.
That's pretty cool.
Is that a subsonic
oscillator?
Do you like
electronics?
Dragon fusion.
Mmorpg.
Hacked the inner circle
in 17 seconds.
Impressive.
Is that
part of the test?
No.
Now, just relax,
and answer my questions
with the first thing
that comes to your mind.
Okay.
What's your favorite
flavor of ice cream?
Chocolate.
Do you prefer
summer or winter?
Summer.
You see a wounded
animal in the woods.
The wind carries
the scent of blood
to your nostrils.
How do you feel?
Sad.
You're doing fine.
...And as you can see,
the day room provides
plenty of activities
to keep our patients
occupied.
Yeah, I've got to say
I'm well impressed.
Ah, Erika,
how did Henry do?
See for yourself.
Oh, well done.
A moment, if I may?
Sure.
Something weird is
definitely going on here.
Between the oscillators
and the stim receptors,
that's no psych test
I've ever heard of.
There's definitely
something
I can't
put my finger on.
All right, I'm going to
go out and call Magnus,
put her in the loop.
Okay, I'm going to snoop around
on my own a little bit
from the inside.
Really?
You realize what you're
getting yourself into?
I know,
but think about it, will.
What if I'm not the only hap
in the world?
The beginning and
the ending of my line.
I bail now,
I might never know.
You were right
about Henry.
Well, you must have
suspected it too.
The question is,
why would he show up
out of the blue?
Here, of all places.
Well, at least
he found us.
I mean, does it
really matter how?
There. Now we're
getting somewhere.
And you bathed.
Thank you so much.
If we can just focus on
getting the display
up and running...
We might be granted access
to the next level,
like a computer menu.
Here it is.
Excellent.
Now what?
Now... judging by
those flashing symbols,
I'd say it's
asking for a password.
Which we don't have.
Hey...
I cracked the enigma
machine, remember??/
this is different.
Nikola, please
just take a moment
before you go off
doing anything--
now, what happens
if I press here--
And here...
Will's calling in.
Hello!
And here.
Will? Hello?
Oops.
That em pulse knocked out
the entire building.
Phones, computers--
cellphones.
Luckily
the abnormal levels
are secured
with backup power.
Well, it doesn't
do us much good.
I did find an old
vacuum tube generator
that you might be able
to resuscitate.
At the very least,
it could give us lights.
Well, what about
your... your boy?
Can't he get it
up and running?
Henry?
Yeah.
He's gone with will.
"Off to England
for a Sanctuary version of R&R.
Good luck with the ex-vampire."
Figures those two would run off
when there's real work
to be done.
Will's been leaving
notes on my computer
for the last few days.
I suppose we have been
a little consumed.
What about the other two,
booty and the beast?
They're on a mission.
Won't be back until friday.
It's just the two of us,
I'm afraid.
Hmm...
In this dark and lonely place--
don't get any ideas.
I'm too exhausted
to even banter with you.
Fine.
Go curl up with your warm milk,
and I'll, uh,
keep chipping away at the map.
Ah...
I think you've done
enough chipping for one night.
There are obviously built-in
security measures
that we have yet to understand.
I can't risk triggering
another catastrophe.
Oh, come on,
it's just one little em pulse.
I can get past it
in a heartbeat.
This is me
we're talking about here.
That's precisely the problem.
You are not
to touch the device,
is that clear?
If you've got so much energy,
go work on
my generator.
But--
Go fix my house.
What am I, your house-elf?
Thank you, Dobby!
800-f.
That is one of the finest
tube amps ever made.
You know it?
Yeah, dude, I used to
take these apart
all the time.
Well, mate,
perhaps you could tell me
why the bloody thing
doesn't work.
Yeah.
Well, it looks like
your power supply
is too close
to your rf tuner.
You need to shield it.
Hey--
You're going to get
static interference.
Just hang on,
check this out.
Ah...
I can't believe I missed that.
It's an easy mistake
to make.
Alistair.
Hey. Henry.
Glad to meet you.
We haven't had a new intake
for a long time.
Where do you
come from?
Overseas.
How'd you hear
about this place?
Oh, from a friend.
Well, it's good that you did.
You'll be safe here.
Safe?
Yeah, so long as
you follow the rules.
Unfortunately,
not everybody does.
See, a couple of residents
got into it a few days ago.
Liam turned on
his best mate, Joe...
Killed him.
Dude...
Yeah.
But he refused to take his meds.
We all know
what that means.
Time for
your medication.
Bottoms up.
Cheers.
You'll feel better now.
I'm sure I will.
Sorry, I can barely hear you.
I've barely got one bar.
Still no word from Magnus, huh?
You getting a little worried?
Satellite imagery
shows no structural damage
to your Sanctuary.
Initial sensor reports show
there's been
some kind of power hit.
Tesla.
I've ordered
a maintenance crew
to be dispatched,
but in the meantime,
the secure housing facilities
have power,
so they've probably got
the situation in hand.
How goes the, uh, holiday?
Uh, jury's still out.
You need
any support?
Not, but do me a favor
and stand by just in case I do.
Done.
Hey.
Henry.
How are you settling in?
Yeah, really good.
Met some
nice people here.
That's good.
We want you to be at home here.
It's important to feel
part of a family.
Hey, what happened there?
There was a bit of a situation.
Liam and Joe?
I heard
about that.
Liam resisted treatment,
and that's very dangerous.
Hmm.
So they just
went at each other?
Henry...
This is not something
for you to worry about.
Please, you should rest.
Sorry, I'm just
a little curious.
You are taking
your medication,
right?
Me?
Yeah.
Yup.
Not bad.
Okay...
Henry?
You shouldn't
be down here.
What the hell is this?
What kind of experiments
are you people doing?
You don't understand--
look at him! He's a...
He's--
he's a Lycan.
We all are.
What?
Wait...
You?
And Aunt Lillian,
and all of our patients.
We're all just like you.
Let me help you.
I'm a friend.
I'm not going to hurt you.
Oh, come on.
So you're telling me
that everyone in this
place is a hap?
A hyper-accelerated
protean.
We don't use
those words,
but yes.
That's why
we accepted you.
We're all
therianthropes,
the last of the Lycan clan.
Wow.
Okay, well, that explains
all the werewolf sightings
in the area.
For centuries,
we've been hunted
almost to extinction,
and that's why
this facility was built,
to protect our kind.
In here,
we are safe.
This is our refuge,
our family.
So naturally,
we're cautious of strangers.
How did you find us, Henry?
I'm from a place
called the Sanctuary.
It provides
safe harbor
for all sorts
of abnormals,
not just me.
So, you've already found
where you belong?
Yeah, I think so.
I just, um...
I've never met anyone
like me before.
What do you know about
where you came from?
Not much.
I was a foundling.
No memory of my parents.
I don't know,
maybe they're from around here.
I can run a DNA check
and see if I might find a clue.
This is amazing.
I don't know,
maybe they're from around here.
I always thought I was alone.
Now I know that's not true.
What are you doing
in my bedroom?
Well, I could think
of a dozen answers,
but I'll leave that
to Oscar Wilde.
I figured it out.
In the middle
of the night.
Well, that's when
genius works best,
doesn't it?
Nice curtains,
by the way.
Lovely pale yellow.
Or are they?
Yellow. White.
Yellow--
you're suggesting
a spectrum shift.
I'm suggesting
going beyond the spectrum,
below infrared.
You don't happen to have
a quantum cascade laser
or a gyrotron kicking around
anywhere, do you?
Not right on hand, no.
Damn.
Well, I guess
we have to build one.
Not tonight.
Helen, don't you want
to learn the secrets
of the city
your father sent you?
What if it was built
by an entirely new
race of abnormals?
Huh?
You're just content
to roll over
and go back to sleep?
You're genuinely convinced
that you can reactivate
the hologram crystal
by hitting it with
a synchrotronic light source?
No, not reactivate it.
Speak its language.
Show it who's boss.
You are brilliant.
Don't I know it?
Now, get out.
Okay.
Hey... mate.
How's it going?
Dude.
Tickety-boo.
So, it seems to me
you're not
the only one in here
who likes to tinker.
Well, Lucy there
is a demon
with model trains.
Jerry's a rocketry
enthusiast.
James can rebuild
a broken pocket watch
faster than you can
solve a Rubik's cube,
and he plays
a wicked keyboard.
Okay, so listen,
I just found out
that we're all, uh...
Part of a clan.
Lycans.
Yeah. Yeah...
I feel like we've all got
something in common.
You know, kind of like
we're all wired
the same way.
What, you mean, like,
fixing stuff?
Yeah.
Doesn't everyone do that?
E-everyone out there? No.
No, I think
that's part of
the Lycan package.
You know, that
and the changing.
No, th-that's not...
No, we don't...
Not ever?
We're in
treatment.
You don't have to worry.
I'm not worried--
we're in treatment,
and it works!
I understand that--
Henry...
Why don't you and I talk?
Privately?
There are certain things
you don't understand yet.
Yeah, like
what kind of drugs
are we actually
taking?
Some sort of
Diazepam cocktail?
You know about it?
Yeah, I tried it.
It's no answer.
It's the only answer
to keep that thing
from coming out.
Okay, Erika,
you can control it.
You don't have to
keep hiding in here.
I'm not hiding.
This is my home.
Is it really?
Where are your parents?
They died in a car crash
shortly after I was born.
Aunt Lillian
took me in.
So what about
the transformation?
No.
No, never?
You don't even know
what it's like?
Of course not.
I'm in treatment as well.
Okay, look,
I got to admit,
at first, it-it was
a little scary for me too,
but once you get the hang of it,
it's pretty awesome.
No.
I could never be
one of those things.
It's not
a thing, Erika.
It's who we are.
Not if we want to be safe.
How did you do that?
You see?
You don't have to be afraid.
I'm totally in control.
Um...
Oh!
Oh, God.
Uh, I didn't really
think that far ahead.
Uh...
Boy, that's a little awkward.
You see?
It likes it.
Apparently so.
Now fasten
your seatbelt.
Ha!
That's right,
surrender your secrets
to the master
of electricity.
Nicely done, Nikola.
Thank you.
More Sumerian script.
This could take
weeks to translate.
Or we could just...
Pull the handle.
Seems to be
scanning us.
Akhkharu?
"Blood demon?"
How do you know that symbol?
Well, my race has been
blasphemed for centuries,
but the point is,
it seems to think
I'm still a vampire.
Uh-oh.
Not just you.
Us.
It must be detecting traces
of the source blood in our DNA.
I'm not sure
that's a good thing.
Hey...
I didn't mean
to upset you earlier.
That's okay.
You're new.
After a while,
you'll understand.
Yeah, I don't know.
I might not be
sticking around.
Where would you go?
Out there.
You know, you--
all of you--
you could live
in the real world.
You could be anything you want,
be engineers,
musicians, surfers.
But what about
when the change happens?
Well, then it happens.
You learn to deal with it.
These treatments
you're taking,
they can be
modified.
The Sanctuary can
help you with that.
The treatments
are the only thing
keeping us all
from becoming monsters.
Monsters?
If you go
off-treatment,
when the change hits,
there's no controlling it.
Is that what
happened to Liam?
Liam thought
what you think,
that we can live the old way.
Then he turned into...
The thing,
murdered Joe.
I don't want to be that.
Yeah, but you're wrong.
You won't.
Yeah, when you change,
you become...
Wild, maybe.
It's like a version of yourself
that burns hotter than usual.
You don't become a killer.
Yeah. You do.
Liam did,
and Josephine,
two years ago.
That were
right in the dayroom here.
We all saw...
That's why
we have to stay here.
That's why we all have to
take the treatment,
even you.
Otherwise, we're just beasts.
Henry, I'm confused.
Yeah, join the club.
This isn't a refuge.
This is a prison.
I beg your pardon?
You want these people to
stay here their whole lives,
depending on you for everything,
but you'll do whatever it takes
to make sure they never leave.
Well, you're right.
I'll do whatever it takes
to protect my people,
my family.
Including turning them
into killers?
What are you talking about?
Haps don't kill.
Except for
the ones in here.
I talked to the others.
I know what they're afraid of.
Nonsense.
Everyone's content here.
Nobody wants to leave.
Of course nobody
wants to leave!
You've got them all terrified
that they're psychos
waiting to snap!
I've made sure they understand
the horror of
their true nature, yes.
Seeing what happened to Liam
and the others
helps us remember
why we lock
that part of ourselves away.
What are you
giving these people
so that when they turn hap
they kill
whoever's in front of them?
Kill their best friend?
I thought you
belonged here, Henry,
but now I see
you want to destroy
everything I've built.
No, I won't let you do this.
These are my people!
This is my family!
This is my house.
You wanted to know what I used
to bring out Liam's
true nature
and the ones before him?
It's time to meet
your monster, Henry.
It thinks
we're a threat.
It hit
the self-destruct.
So much for
the tender underbelly.
Oh...
What the hell
is that?
It's a particle
accelerator.
Which means we could be
in imminent danger.
Well, we have to
stop it
before it gets to the top.
Okay, the particle track
is bent using electromagnets,
thrusting it into
continuous acceleration
until it reaches
sufficient energy.
Sufficient for what?
Boom.
Can you reverse
the magnetic polarity?
I can try.
Well, what
do you know?
I'm not the only
genius in the room.
Oh, that's unfortunate.
Well, you can't just
stand here forever.
No, but I can stand here
long enough
for you to get clear.
I'm not leaving you--
come on, Helen,
we've played this out before.
Get going.
Whatever happens,
we face it together.
And we never even
said vows.
Whatever this is,
it's intent on keeping us out.
At least
it's more creative
than garlic
and holy water.
If we eliminate the threat,
maybe it'll stop.
What do you have in mind?
Make us disappear.
Elaborate.
Create an em shield
around both of us,
block the scan.
Only you'd have to
take your hand
off the accelerator.
Right.
Well, hold me close,
and either way,
I'll die a happy man.
Maybe a little tighter,
you know,
just to be safe.
If you were
any more transparent,
you'd be invisible.
Okay, hold on.
Whoa! Whoa,
hold on a second!
Get away!
Get away from me!
Hold on a second.
I'm not gonna hurt you!
What do you want?
I'm here
to help you, okay?
Look, I know what you are.
I have a friend
who's just like you.
I didn't mean
to kill anyone.
I... I didn't mean
to kill anyone.
I know, which is why
you need to trust me.
Here.
Here.
I'm here to help.
Okay. Okay.
Hey, what is this?
What are you doing?
What is that?
Certain behaviors
are unacceptable here, Henry.
Anger, aggression.
Truth, transformation,
how about that?
In order to protect our people,
there's a protocol
that needs to be followed.
No...
I'm not a monster.
None of us are.
It's not in
our nature to kill.
We shall see about that,
and so will the others.
No... no!
No, hey, wait.
Hey. Hey!
Hey!
I've got to get Henry
out of there.
There's no signal.
I'm sorry.
I can't go back in there.
All right, just...
Just try to stay out of sight
until I can get
some help, okay?
There's a door
around the east wing
leads to the basement.
Joe and I,
we jimmied it
so we could
get in and out.
Try the treatment rooms
down there first.
All right.
East wing? Okay.
What if he's right?
I mean, what if
there's a way
we can control ourselves
without medication?
Erika, I know
what's best for you!
It's been a long day,
all right?
We're ll
a little tired.
Now, just let me
handle this,
and it will all
be over soon.
all right?
Henry...
Hey, man.
Come on.
I-it's me.
Henry,
remember me?
Huh?
Good old, uh, Will?
Henry, be cool.
It's okay.
Just be cool.
Henry!
Erika, no!
No one
needs to live
locked up like this.
Right, now, just, uh...
Just hold there,
and let's get to work.
You're telling me
this is all
the contact we needed?
Yeah, sure,
but, you know,
it was a lot more
fun the other way,
don't you think?
All right,
the energy blast
must have launched
its inner defense
mechanism.
Au contraire.
It kicked it
into high gear.
The only reason
that the alarm went off
was because it found
vampire blood
coursing through
our veins.
Although
I can't imagine
what it has
against my kind.
You realize what
this means, don't you?
The builders of this map
knew of vampires.
And despised us,
and we almost died
because of
some old grudge.
You're not taking this
personally, are you?
Me? Of course I am.
Looks like we made it
to the next level.
So, what's first, mate?
Paris? New York?
Gonna do the lot.
All right, well,
drop me a line
from the Himalayas.
Listen, if you
want anything,
ring me.
We're family now...
Dude.
You take care.
Sure.
Come on, then.
Erika...
How could you stop
taking the treatment?
Aunt Lillian,
I was never sick.
Come on.
Oh, uh...
I'm gonna be over here...
If you need me.
So I guess
you're free now.
I guess I am.
Go where you want.
You can do what you want.
What do you think
you're going to do--
Yeah, that is
a very good start.
Remember,
treat it nicely.
I will, I will.
All right,
talk me through it.
This symbol here, what is it?
Clouds in a sky?
I believe that's
"celestial horizons."
Uh-huh, and...
What about this one?
"Dwelling place."
Dwelling place?
This one here
reminds me an awful lot
of your bedroom door.
Ah, it could mean
a number of things.
"Doorway"
or "threshold," or...
Here it is.
"Ka harag."
Voice activated.
What was it
you just said?
"Gateway."
Almost looks like
another planet.
It does.
Could it be?
A galaxy
far, far away?
No, this is not
extraterrestrial.
The tunnel systems
correspond perfectly
with the location
of the continents
here on earth.
Three open calderas.
The only way
into the core.
Nikola...
This is our own planet,
right here, right now.
But miles
below the surface.
We're looking
at an atlas.
A 3D map of hollow Earth.
