Sanctuary (2008–2011): Season 4, Episode 11 - The Depths - full transcript

When Magnus and Will learn of a plan to capture very rare and dangerous Abnormal, they travel to a remote cave to prevent then hunt.

You need to
at least consider combining

some of the smaller
sanctuaries.

Maybe.

Maybe?

Magnus, unless my
understanding

of basic finance is flawed--

We appear to be
hemorrhaging money, yes.

Aren't we?

It depends on
your point of view.

[Chuckles]

Okay, you know what,
I'm going to drop it,



and then when
the repo men arrive,

you can deal
with them.

We're at war with insurgents
from Hollow Earth.

Debt collectors
are the least of our worries.

[Henry]: Ah, good,
you're both here.

Gold star, please.

I have some new info
on SCIU doings.

The doings of SCIU.

I thought we were locked out
of all their databases.

We were.

After what happened
in Buenos Aires,

those guys
totally closed ranks.

Couldn't make a dent.

But you found a way.



Those files Tesla slipped me

after our little adventure
in the land of lost socks?

I did a little
deep data mining,

found some usernames,

extrapolated
some passwords...

I like where this is going.

All adding up to three
upcoming SCIU research team--

destinations.

Baton Rouge, Bolivia,

East Finchley
Station.

Whoa, whoa, wait.

Bolivia?

Uh, yeah, a team of seven.

Four ex-military,

two grad students,

and one anthropology prof
from U.Penn.

They're headed for some badly
charted desert in the Andes.

They even filed
detailed tracking info.

It can't be.

Why, what's there?

An abnormal so elusive

that even my father
gave up the search.

A giant feathered serpent

said to be hidden
high in the Bolivian Andes.

A feathered serpent?

As in Quetzalcoatl?

It's believed the Aztecs
named a God after this creature.

Followers of the serpent
were said to be rewarded

with unusual knowledge,
strength, and health.

So there were super Aztecs?

But your father
never found proof.

He mounted an expedition
in 1909,

but he came back empty-handed,

the only survivor.

After that,
he left very strict instructions

that the serpent be left
entirely alone.

So how the hell
did SCIU find it?

Well, that's
the worrying part.

Well, they're
upping their game.

Which makes our job
decidedly more difficult.

Henry, have Declan look into
the other two operations.

You and I
are going to Bolivia.

Remember the part about
us getting here first?

They're in
way over their heads.

Well, your father was right.

It's definitely real.

[Whispering] And it needs
to be left in peace.

If SCIU gets it
back to their labs...

Absolutely.

It's not exactly
seal team six in there.

You want, uh,

Mr. Mall Cop on the rock there?

How about the skinny guy?

[Stunners blast]

Hold it!

Everyone, stay put
and you won't get hurt!

Letters to Alistair, take two.

Or Alice, because--
yeah, um...

So it's me, your dad,

Henry Foss, hello.

Wow, so who knows what
the world's going to be like

when you're all grown up, huh?

Hopefully things
will be different for our kind,

for abnormals.

Maybe we won't have to live
in secret anymore.

You'll probably have jet-packs,

and it's about time, am I right?

Up high. Boom.

Yeah.

I'm going to be lucky
if they even have machines

that play digital video.

Wow.

Yeah, the boss,

she still insists on
everything being analog records.

You know, vinyl music
and paper ledgers

may be heavy as hell,

but you can still read 'em
after the zombie apocalypse.

Oh, wow.

I hope you're not watching this
after the zombie apocalypse.

But if you are, you remember,

they are very slow,
and they can't climb trees.

Also, a good cricket bat
to the head works wonders, so...

Oh, man, you're going to
grow up in England!

You're going to actually have
a cricket bat,

and an accent.

My kid is gonna have an accent.

That is awesome!

This is going really well.

[Sighing]

[Wincing]

What the hell
did they hit us with?

Some sort of sonic
energy weapon.

Probably
the same thing they used

to bring down the serpent.

Well, that explains
the ringing in my ears.

Doc!

They're awake.

Dr. Magnus.
Dr. Zimmerman.

They briefed us about you.

I wish I could say the same.

Michelle Moran.

You may have seen my papers

on the search for
Grendel's children

in Northern Ireland--

Grendel's a myth.

They said you'd say that.

Release us immediately,
and your prisoner.

The dragon?

Nah, sorry,
too big a prize.

No offense to you two.

Look, I'm going to give you

a chance to fix this

before anyone gets hurt.

Really, Dr. Magnus,

you're hardly in charge here.

You are dealing
with a creature

that you barely understand.

You're so out of your depth.

I've made a lifetime study
of cryptozoology

and comparative mythology.

This is an amazing opportunity.

A glimpse into a larger world,

something that
most people don't see.

You genuinely have no idea
what you're dealing with.

These are creatures
that can move mountains,

redirect tidal waves.

We have secure
containment.

What about transport?

'Cause that's
going to be a party.

It's taken care of.

Listen to me.

If you try to move it,

either it will end up dead,
or you will.

Guess which is
the greater tragedy.

Introductions are over.

Open up the drop zone
and radio for the chopper.

Wait, drop zone?

Whoa, whoa, whoa,
what are you doing?

No, don't!

The roofs of these caverns

are striated at
their weakest points

with a glassine crystal.

"X" marks the spot.

Stop!

Everyone out!

[Bullets ricochet]

[Serpent roaring and tearing]

Get out!

Will!

- Leave him!
- No!

[Gasps awake]

[Yelps in pain]

[Groaning]

Magnus?

Magnus!

Will?

[Groaning in agony]

Can you move?

I don't think
anything's broken.

[Yelps in pain]

Maybe a couple of ribs.

[Groaning]

The others?

Dear God.

You're injured.

Let me see.

Okay, okay...

[Will wincing in pain]

The bullet's still in there.

That's wonderful news.

Got to get it out.

The supplies are in bad shape.

There's a med kit.

What's left of it.

Okay... okay...

Will, Will,
stay with me.

Steady, Will.

[Screaming in agony]

All right, all right...

The worst of it's over.

Magnus, I doubt that.

I need you to hold
this flashlight.

Come on, right there.

Yeah.

[Screaming]

I got it, I got it...

[Moaning]

Come on!
Come on!

Good, good, good!
Almost done...

Good job, William.

Okay, good.

No damage
to the internal organs.

You've lost a lot of blood.

You need to be hydrated.

Will, do you hear me?
Will!

[Moans groggily]

Will, stay with me.

Uh, w-water.

Water, good.

[Wincing in pain]

Bloody hell.

All right...

[Moans in disappointment]

[Faint trickling]

[Water trickling]

Ah, yes. Okay.

[Filling bottle]

Found an underground spring.

[Sniffs warily]

[Sighs]

At least we'll have
fresh water.

Will...

Will!

Will, come on,
come on...

[Gasping]

You're going to love this.

"Full outer shell
safety shield system."

The F.O.S.S.S.S.!

We'll name it later.

So, this is
a personal energy shield

that acts like body armor
against pulse weapons.

So, uh, sonic, E.M.,
full spectrum.

Now, it's still
a work in progress,

but once I iron out
the last few kinks,

this baby is gonna
change the world.

[Power ramping up]

[Crashing and clattering]

Ha!
That's what I'm talking about.

You want some help?

You should rest.

I'm fine.

Besides, we've got
to get out of here.

Feel my pulse.
Slow and steady.

Half Irish.

Your color's much better.

How are you?
The broken ribs?

A false alarm.

Just had the wind
knocked out of me.

[Zipping med kit]

When Moran
fails to check in,

they'll send an
extraction team after her.

I'd say we have 48 hours
to be clear of the area,

or we'll wind up
answering for this.

There's a shelf over there.

It's a seam.

It could lead to another tunnel.

[Panting with effort]

You all right?

[Gasping]

Just a little claustrophobic.

We just need to get
through this section.

It'll be over soon.

No, no, Magnus,
Magnus, this is crazy.

We should go back.

To what,
the serpent's lair?

How does that
make any sense?

We have no idea

if this crawl space
will lead us to the surface.

We could be led
into a dead end,

or get trapped, or something.

What we do know
for certain is

there's no way out
where we came from.

We have to keep moving forward.

Fine, so it's standard
operating procedure,

Helen Magnus style,
I guess!

What the hell is that
supposed to mean?

[Groaning with effort]
You know...

"Once more into the breach,
for England,"

et cetera, et cetera.

No matter how stupid
dangerous it is!

I'm saying this is not
the first time

I've been stuck
in a bad place with you.

I understand
how being in a tight space

can stress anyone out.

You don't have to be
claustrophobic

to know that we are under
tons of rock with no map.

We just have to keep moving.

[Gasping in rising panic]

No, no, no, no, Magnus,
I've got to go back!

Will! No!

Magnus! I need air!

Then keep moving!

No! I'm sick of being

the expendable human
on the ticket!

I'm going back!

Really?

Wow.

I thought you were
tougher than that.

We are moving forward.

Fine! Dammit!

[Panting with exhaustion]

Oh God...

[Groaning in pain]

You're welcome.

For what?

Talking to me like I'm a child?

Anger is a great motivator.

Overcomes fear every time.

That's your M.O., isn't it?

Achieve the result
by any means necessary.

You need to rest,

and I recommend silence.

How you feeling?

Any nausea?

Shortness of breath?

Oh, yeah, plenty of both.

Classic signs of hypoxia,

as is the short temper.

[Chuckles]

It felt real.

I need to monitor
your heart rate.

Your system's
slowing way down.

At the very least
I need to stabilize that wound.

Magnus...

Bloody hell.

There's a heart rate monitor
but no adrenaline.

This is useless!

Magnus...

Dear God, Will.

What's in that water?

Your heart rate's improved.

It's quite steady, actually.

It's just itching
or something,

like the muscles
are healing.

I mean, at this rate,

I'll be able to pick the scab

in the morning.

Look, I know it seems
quite incredible,

but I still don't trust it.

I mean, this wound
was more than severe.

What seems like fast healing
may only be superficial.

Well, I feel
a thousand times better.

I mean, this water must possess
a naturally occurring

adenosine inhibitor
or something.

I beg your pardon?

[Scoffs in wonder]

Where the hell
did that come from?

Not to, uh,

insult your knowledge
of medicine, Will, but--

No, I mean,
first year pre-med?

I haven't thought about
that stuff in years.

But...

I remember everything.

It's like I have
the damn textbook

right in front of me.

Will...

that serpent...

is said to give its followers
wisdom and strength.

But what if
it's not the creature at all?

It was the water
it was guarding.

[Sniffing]

Increased oxygen intake,

improved focus and memory,

rapid healing,

they'd all seem like
God-given powers

to primitive cultures.

SCIU was after
the wrong thing all along.

As was my father.

[Chuckles in wonder]

He would have loved this.

As miraculous
as the water's effects are,

they are only short-term.

That first dose I gave you
didn't last very long.

Yeah, and it
left me exhausted.

And somewhat bitter.

What about you?

You drank the stuff
the same time I did.

I suppose my unique physiology

could have made me
immune to its effects.

Your bruised ribs?

The "false alarm"?

That's more like
accelerated healing,

or like a blast of dopamine
that covers the pain.

Yeah, it's possible.

No, it's a fact.

Your weird blood chemistry
may slow down the timing,

but if you got the high,

the low is coming,

just like me.

Let's keep moving.

Nice, right?

Lightweight sensor net,
completely wearable.

Three pounds total.

Less than Kevlar.

See, folks around here,

they get in dangerous situations
on an almost weekly basis, so...

If I can get this thing working,
maybe I can save someone's life,

maybe even mine.

Just one small issue.

Still working
on lightweight power.

It's totally portable.

There's just
some balance issues.

We can work on that later.

Ready?

[Power surging
and crackling]

[Sizzling]

We'll work on
the power surge issues now.

Listen, Magnus,
about before...

You mean when you accused me

of recklessly
endangering your life?

Uh, yeah.

I guess that was
kind of childish.

Let's just call it withdrawal.

Anger, accusations,

they're all just
chemical misfires.

Sure, blame the water.

Do you really think
I risk your life cavalierly?

I think you're so jaded

that you need the risk of death
to hold your attention.

[Scoffs]

Or worse,

you don't think death
will ever catch you.

Thank you
for your honesty.

Even this.

We only ever talk
when it suits you,

on your terms,

and I better get on board
or get out of the way.

Look, I already apologized

for the way I handled
saving Abby.

Trust me, it won't
happen again.

I have no doubt
about that.

We need to stop talking. Now.

This is war for you.

Living under combat conditions.

Imagine doing it
for five lifetimes!

Imagine having one lifetime

to do everything
that matters to you.

Magnus,

you could give a hundred years
to the Sanctuary

and still have
hundreds more to go.

I only get one set of days.

I think you need
to appreciate

what it means

if I give them all to you.

[His footsteps
recede]

[Quietly]
I think about it every day.

We must be close
to the surface.

It looks to be about
a hundred feet up.

That's a 10-storey building.

Straight up, no footholds.

There's no way
we're climbing out.

Well, not here, no,

not without equipment,

but at least
we're getting closer.

Yeah.

Will!

Just a sec...

Just wait a second, okay?

Okay...

When did this start?

Just right now.

Oh...

Your pulse is thready,

getting weaker.

This is not good.

I'm definitely crashing here.

[Moans]

This last dose

lasted half as long
as the one before.

I drank twice as much.

It should have lasted longer.

Maybe this is how it works.

The bigger the high,
the faster the crash.

Reminds me of college.

[Groaning in pain]

It hurts again, doesn't it?

No, just leave it alone.

Whatever's in this water

is creating a cycle

whereby it wears off

more and more quickly
each time,

leaving you in worse shape
than when you started.

You'll need an elevated dose
just to stay functional.

No, I'm done with
the liquid psychosis.

You're not going to make it
out of here without this--

Magnus, just let me be!

You can't trust your judgment--

Oh, and I can trust yours?

Yes.

Magnus, no!

[Spluttering]

Will, I--

Thanks.

Now that your head is clear,

you know that I did
the right thing.

You're feeling stronger,

your wound
is healing again.

Never felt better.

Stop walking away
from me, please.

I need to rest.

We have to keep moving.

Okay, fine,
you did the right thing.

I still get to hate you for it.

Go ahead.

I always do what others can't.

That's my job.

If I had listened to you,

Abby would be dead right now,

you'd be bleeding out

in the corner
of this cave system.

Life is not a bloody
popularity contest!

I could have
let her die,

I could have consoled you
at her funeral,

or I could save her,

even though it meant
risking our friendship,

and I did know that much, Will.

Either way,
the show must go on.

You can't get close to anybody,

because you're just
going to lose them, right?

Would you blame me
if that were true?

Magnus, what good
is your lifetime

if you don't allow yourself
to connect with anyone?

You surround yourself
with people

who would do
anything for you,

and then you turn
your back on them

when they don't
live up to your standards.

That's ridiculous--

John Druitt.

You can't even begin
to judge that--

Griffin, Watson,

and now me.

Are we all just
expendable in your mind?

Is that how you cope?

Ashley?

You bastard.

[Water trickling]

[Roaring]

Magnus, come on!

[Gasping]

Here, it's time for you
to drink the magic stuff.

Come on, come on,
don't fight me.

Magnus...

A curtain of light.

The serpent
won't cross through it.

The first time was
when that SCIU idiot

let the direct sunlight
into its lair.

The striated crystals must
filter out the UV rays.

And that's why it lives
down in these caves.

Its skin burns in full sun.

Okay...

F.O.S.S.S.S., full outer shell
safety shield system prototype

high-density power test,
version one.

Here we go.

[Power surging and crackling]

[Turns off device]

[Gasping]

[Croaking]
Back to square one.

How's that water supply?

Not drinkable.

Too much copper
content in these walls.

No, I mean the good stuff.

There's about
five doses left.

We need to get
to that tunnel

on the other side.

Which means we have to
get that damn serpent

off our backs.

Not a chance.

You know, we are
always going with

your crazy schemes.

For once, why don't you try
returning the favor?

For once!

You're on the downward side
of a dose.

Okay, okay,
here we go.

Helen Magnus knows best.

Will, please.

Before we say
anything else we might regret...

If you're feeling
angry, paranoid,

have a sip of this,

and then we can work out
a plan together.

All right?

[Quietly]
Don't mind if I do.

Will, no!

Will! Will!

[Gasping triumphantly]

Do you realize
what you've done?

That will kill you!

[Chuckling in wonder]

Oh, Magnus...

If you could see what I see...

What do you see?

[Roaring]

[Crystals fracturing]

[Laughs in triumph]

That's what I'm talking about.

Yeah. Until nightfall.

No.

We're not going
to be here by then.

Look...

See?

There's an opening at
the end of the pool.

There's a current in here.

It's coming
from the outside.

When we find the ingress,

we're home free.

Very elegant,

but, Will,

when this wears off...

My body's going to
shut down completely.

This is madness, Will.

Yes, you may have found us
a pathway out of here,

but when that
withdrawal hits--

It'll be epic.

It will kill you,
and soon.

Which is why you have
to keep me moving,

no matter what
you have to do

or say to me.

Said one junkie
to the other.

The last time I crashed,

I didn't even care
about getting out.

Don't let that
happen again.

This thing is dead-ending.

I need more power
in less space.

I kind of wanted this
to go differently.

A big triumph, huge success...

I wanted you to see
the Foss mojo working.

See, the thing is, I, uh,

I don't really remember
anything about my parents.

I don't even know
what happened to them.

The world can be
a pretty dangerous place

for folks like us.

I thought it was
getting better,

but, uh, now, not so much.

So I just, I wanted you to know,

you know, if something
did happen to me,

and I wasn't able
to take care of you...

I just didn't want you
to go through life

wondering
what kind of guy I was.

[Gasping for air]

The deeper you get,

the stronger the current,

and it's way deeper
than you can swim, Will,

and I couldn't find
another way--

give me five minutes.

Sorry.
That's not a good idea--

Five minutes.

Stop wasting my time!

Get up there.

You need to keep moving.

Why me?

Of all the cops, profilers,

cryptozoologists
in the world,

you chose me.

The eight-year-old kid

whose mother was killed
in a monster attack.

That is not
a coincidence.

Magnus...

Come on,
keep moving.

My Harvard scholarship...

That was your money,
wasn't it?

All this time

I thought I was making
my own decisions,

but I was already
on your damn payroll.

Yes.

Yes, I paid for your education,

because I thought
you'd more than earned it,

but I'd never force you
to do anything.

If you had said no
to joining the Sanctuary,

we wouldn't be here today.

Believe me, Will,

if I could control life
like a bloody chess game,

a lot of things would have
turned out very differently.

Yeah.

Well, I guess we'll never
know the truth, will we?

Dead end.

[Will lands heavily]

[Groaning]

Will...

Will!

There's an opening!

There's a way out.

We can chimney out of here!

It's only about 40 feet.

[Wincing in pain]

No...

Oh, no.

No, no, there's no way.

Here, that's not you talking.

The Will Zimmerman I know
wants to be with Abby,

and have everything
he ever wanted

to prove me wrong
about living a balanced life.

Come on, get up.

Leave me here.

Leave me.

You can do this!

No. Magnus...

You go.

That's not an option.
Come on.

[Groaning in pain]

No.
No, no, no...

I'm going back
for more water.

I'm going to need this.

It'll give me an idea

of how much longer
I can keep going.

You're not going to make it.

See?

Now you're just trying
to piss me off.

Magnus...

I don't...

I don't regret--

I don't regret...

Regret anything.

But please,

please don't do this.

'Cause if you do, we're both
gonna die down here.

I'll be back soon.

Please...

Magnus?

Magnus...

[Water trickling]

[Groaning with effort]

[Water trickling]

[Alarm beeping]

What the hell?

[Beeping rapidly]

[Beeping rapidly]

Will!

Come on...

[Gasps, refreshed]

Magnus.

Hello.

Where's your flashlight?

It's dead.

What the hell did you find?

This is what's in the water.

Now let's get
the hell out of here.

You sure I can't just
go cold Turkey?

Your organs would
go into shock.

The accelerated healing
you experienced

robbed your body of nutrients,

left you in worse shape

than when you were
first wounded.

So you're going to
shoot me up again.

This diluted solution
won't supercharge you.

It'll simply maintain
normal function.

And we'll have to
keep it going

on a regular basis

until we can flush your system.

[Sighing]

This remind you of anyone?

A certain literary figure?

[Chuckles] Your hero,
Sherlock Holmes?

And his
seven percent solution.

You know, we could just...

declare amnesty.

Forget about everything we said.

Amnesty, yes.

Forgetting? No.

Look, Will, you need
to understand,

you were never part
of some master plan.

I may have
a long view of things now,

but the first time 'round,

I was taking chances,
just like anyone.

When I asked you to come here,

I had no idea

if it would turn out to be
a brilliant move

or a total disaster.

And?

Many disasters,

most brilliant.

I had 113 years

of not knowing if I would ever
see any of you again.

What if something
I'd done in the past

had changed everything?

But it didn't.

Watching everything
unfold again,

for better or worse.

Watching every mistake I made
play out again.

I had to let
terrible things happen, Will,

and do nothing
to change them.

I wouldn't wish that
on my worst enemy.

Wow.

Don't I feel like the jerk.

You didn't know because
I didn't tell you.

Because you carry
the whole weight yourself.

I always have.

I'm not your protégé
anymore, Magnus.

Not after everything
you said to me in the caves,

you're not.

I need to be your partner.

Ah.

And I think
it's time you told me

what you've been hiding
since you got back.

Not yet.

[Sighs heavily]

You'll know when you need to,
I promise you.

Until then, Will,
you just have to trust me.
