Terra Nova (2011): Season 1, Episode 10 - Now You See Me - full transcript

TAYLOR:
I'm having an OTG.

Something I gotta
take care of.

When will you be back?

24 hours at most.

Good.

I've been thinking about
the anniversary as well.

It sure doesn't seem
like three years, does it?

Yeah, doesn't.

You know, Skye,

your parents would be real proud
of the young woman you've become.

You say that every year.



Well, it's true every year.

We lost a lot of
good people that winter,

your folks included.

I think syncillic fever
has killed more people

than anything else this
place has thrown at us.

Do you think they'll
ever find a cure?

I sure hope so.

So, when I get back,

if you like, you and I can

take a walk out to
Memorial Field together.

- I'd love that.
- Good.

- Thank you.
- It's all right.

DUNHAM:
Commander.

What is it, Dunham?



What's your reason for
leaving the colony today?

Beg pardon?

All citizens need a valid,

colony business-related
reason for departing.

JIM: He's right, Commander.
Your new lockdown protocols.

No exceptions.
You said it yourself.

That I did.

Good job, soldier.

- Thank you, sir.
- You're dismissed.

- But I haven't...
- Just go.

Yes, sir.

Open the gates
for the commander.

I never wanted to
see those towers

pointing any direction but out.

This is temporary.

We'll find the spy.

Stay on it, will
you, Shannon?

You're the only one around
here I trust 100% right now.

Especially in my absence.

Washington is out there

with the survey team
at Outpost Number Nine

for at least
the next three days.

You're in charge
until I get back.

Good luck, Commander.

(whirring)

(rifle whines)

Don't!

Don't even think
about it, Taylor.

Mira.

What brings you out this way?

Same as you.

Came to see if your boy's
gotten any closer to an answer.

Looks like he has.

Well, isn't it
a lousy day to be you?

Hands behind your back.

Get on the ground.

- TERRA NOVA -
Ep. 09 - Now You See Me

(bleating)

He's hungry today.

And I have a math test first
period, so let's get going.

I think I'll call him... Boxer.

What do you think?

I think that yesterday you
decided to call him Hank,

the day before that
it was Orville,

and that's pretty much how
it's been going now,

for almost a month.

Well, I want to make
sure I get it right.

MALCOLM:
Jim, no! Impossible.

JIM: Malcolm, you don't
have a choice.

Every time you data swap
with one of your survey RB's,

you gotta do it on a secure
channel in the compound.

Look. If I can't communicate in
real time from my laboratory,

I might as well
halt the research.

Security trumps
research for now.

We've cut the Sixer spy off.

They're gonna need to
find a new way to talk,

and there's a chance they'll try
to piggyback on your frequency.

This is nonsense.

Well, I'm sorry you
feel that way.

Actually, I'm not.

This is the new protocol.
Okay? We clear?

Yep.

You asked to see me, sir?

You don't have to
call me "sir."

Today I do.

Relieve Rogers and Blanchard
at the northeast gate.

You seem more
nervous than usual.

Is that because today I'm
not just Maddy's father,

I'm also your C.O.?

Permission to neither
confirm nor deny, sir?

Permission granted.

I know it might seem
a little strange,

Taylor having a non-military
person in charge.

Thanks.

How are the other
soldiers taking it?

Like an order, sir.

Good.

The reason I called you up:
you're the duty officer on tour?

If any of the work detail
wants to leave the colony

the foreman must see
me first. Understood?

Sir, got something!

JIM: What is it?

Flashes of light
from the tree line.

Definitely a telegraphic code.

That's got to be a Sixer.

We need eyes on
the return signal.

The spy is talking back
from inside the colony.

But where?

Come on.

Hold on.

You got something?

Maybe. Flashes in
the new construction.

Row J.

JIM:
That's not just a reflection.

It's some kind of code.

That's our guy.

Nice catch, Reynolds.
You're with me.

(horn honking)

Come on, come on.

Come on, move!

Want to call for some backup?

Nah, you and I are
gonna take this.

I want to keep
this circle tight.

I don't know
who we can trust.

Those lights still active?

Affirmative, sir.

All right. 30 seconds out. They
gotta keep talking till then.

Reynolds.

Come over here.
Look at this.

There, in the paint sealant.

Looks like blood.

Base camp, this is Mira.
Come in.

Carter, come in.

You're never going to
get a signal down here,

don't you know that?

- You gotta be up on the ridge.
- MIRA: Shut up and keep moving.

This mean I'm finally going
to get a look at Mira's lair?

Yeah, well, it's not much,
but it's home.

For now, anyways.

Getting back to 2149...
that's the plan, isn't it?

Going back rich...
that's the plan.

Once Lucas finishes his work.

Putting a lot of faith

in some guy who spends his days

scrawling equations
on the rocks.

Oh, he puts them there
for you to see

so you know he's getting closer

to making the portal
go both ways.

And there's nothing you can do
to stop him.

Don't bet on that.

(scoffs) Pretty smug

for a guy who's tied up and
being taken to the enemy camp.

So what's the play,
bringing me in this way?

If you think my people are gonna

cut some kind of a
deal for my release,

- you're out of your mind.
- Yeah, well, either way,

with you gone, Terra Nova is
that much more vulnerable.

(beeping)

(high-pitched whirring
and whooshing)

(explosive shot)

(grunts)

Get up!

I'm the one with the gun.

That wasn't a very smart move.

Now let's go.

(sighs)
Come on.

JOSH: Hey.

Hey, Skye.

Hey. Um, I'm sorry.

I'm running late.

Listen, this'll
only take a second.

I want to apologize
for everything.

For stealing
the medication,

for dragging you into this whole
thing with Mira and the Sixers.

I just didn't think it would
turn into such a ginormous mess.

I told you it would.

I mean, I should
have listened.

Look, Josh...

(sighs)

The Sixers don't
mess around.

Terra Nova wouldn't be
on lockdown

if they were just
our friendly neighbors.

- Yeah, I know.
- Look, Josh, I'm really late.

So this means you
accept my apology?

Warily.

(laughing):
I'll take warily.

I'll see you later.

Yeah, all the information
we need is on here.

It just needs transferring,
basically. Is that all right?

- Thanks so much.
- Thank you.

Um, Elisabeth?

Morning, Malcolm.

Can I ask...? Hi.

Um, can I talk to you

- about something?
- Sure.

The baby Ankylosaurus.

Yeah, I think he's healthy enough
now to be released into the wild.

I don't know. His musculature
could be more developed.

Maybe in a few weeks.

If he stays in the
laboratory much longer,

he's gonna lose the
ability to coexist

with his own kind
altogether. You know that.

Not necessarily.

There are many differing
opinions on adaptation studies

and development...

Elisabeth, you've let
him stay here too long.

I think we
both know why.

Zoe's going to be heartbroken,
but I will talk to her.

You win.

The Ankylosaurus goes home
to the wild soon.

- Uh... today.
- Tomorrow.

- You're impossible.
- Thank you, Malcolm.

- Hey, Skye.
- Hey.

You're not on shift until
tonight, right?

Uh, no. I just, uh, forgot
my I.D. in my locker.

Okay, see you soon.

(squishing)

REYNOLDS:
I combed the entire area.

No trace anywhere.
They got away.

Shh-shh.

Don't move.

Our mole must have got cut
trying to get away.

I'm just gonna try
to grab the sample

before it dissolves
completely.

Damn it.

(sighs)

JIM: Elisabeth.

Oh, hey, what are you
doing here?

(creature gurgles)

Um, I just broke the news

that the baby Ankylosaurus
has to go home.

Well, remember, sweetie,
we talked about this.

He has to go
home sometime.

What's up?

Uh, I could use your help.

- What's this?
- Evidence.

Okay. Uh, hey...

honey, why don't you go

and spend some time
with Hank, yeah?

His name's Boxer.

Okay, what kind
of evidence?

Blood. We got close
to the Sixer spy.

They slipped away,
but they may have left

some DNA behind in this.

Well, how much blood
was there?

One drop.

(chuckles)

You're not joking, are you?

Even if there's the slightest
trace of blood,

isolating it is
gonna be,

well, nearly impossible.

Jim, I'm a doctor,
not a chemist.

You're gonna have to
talk to Malcolm. Sorry.

I've always wondered
how'd you manage

to get so many people
on the Sixth Pilgrimage

without Hope Plaza catching on?

My employers
have deep pockets.

They gamed the lottery.
I thought so.

What's the plan?
Take me down,

help Lucas reverse
the portal, and then

strip-mine this place
for everything it's worth?

The job was supposed
to take six months, tops.

You hadn't
caught onto us,

I would have been
back in 2149

with my daughter
a long time ago.

That is so sweet.

You and your little girl
living the good life

in one of the domes.

Who are you
to judge me?

We were living on the street.

Sienna got patch lung 'cause
I couldn't afford a doctor.

Was I gonna get
recruited to come here?

An ex-con and her
sick daughter?

I had an opportunity

to make a better life
for her and I took it.

And I'm not gonna
apologize for it.

Not to you or anyone.

Now move.

(animal screeches)

(screeching continues)

(gasps)

(gasps)

(gun cocks, whirrs)

(groans)

(gasps)

Your turn to wear
the cuffs.

(gun whirrs)

So...

we're gonna take a
walk back to your rover,

and then I'm taking you
to my brig.

Come on.
Slow.

(distant squawking)

(animal growls)

(animal screeches)

I told Skye
to meet me here,

but she didn't confirm she could
make it out.

We got cut off mid-signal.

Yeah, Terra Nova's on lockdown.

She's smart.
She'll find a way.

When she shows up,
bring her back to base camp.

I'll hang tight.

Yeah.

(clanging)

Hey.

Hey, Skye.

Where you digging?

OTG. We're preparing

a new line for the Eleventh at
the water supply junction.

Need any more volunteers?

Uh, don't you have

your medical
internship with my mom?

I'm on evening shift.

Well, go get your work gear.

We leave in about five minutes,
I guess.

All right.

When did you last see him?

Lucas?

A couple of weeks.

He comes and goes when he wants.

How did he look?

(scoffs) You're asking me
if he's getting enough sleep

and eating his vegetables?

You know this whole
father-son drama?

I don't pity you.

Whatever's about
to come down on your head,

you brought it on
yourself.

What the hell does that mean?

I asked Lucas why
he hates you so much,

and he said to ask you
about Somalia.

So?

What happened in Somalia?

(grunts)

Now the beast comes
out to play.

He's my son.
I want him back.

You think you can
get him back?

He's gone, Taylor.
You don't even

know what you're dealing with.
Lucas is crazy.

You think I
control him?

He controls me.

(animal growls in distance)

Quiet.

We're being watched.

(growling in distance)

Keep moving.

Absolutely not.

Tell me why.

Because it's the
chemical equivalent

of a needle in a haystack.

The dominant ingredient in
paint sealant is toluene.

And one of its
many talents?

Destroying red blood cells.

So, you're not gonna help me.

- Nope.
- Fine.

I'm busy with
something else.

What are you doing?

I'm hunting a spy.

Now, I'm a little rusty since
high school chem, but, uh...

Whoops.

Are you insured for that?

You are insane.

I'm motivated.
Big difference.

- How does this work?
- No, no.

No! You're going
to blow up the lab.

Are you trying
to kill us all?

(device beeps)

Malcolm.

Unbelievable.

(glass crunches underfoot)

Huh.

Well?

Yeah, there's a chance.

A slight one.
But a chance.

I'll let you get to it.

Thanks for working
as fast as you can.

Zoe?

Hi, Mommy. Hi, Daddy.

I was just looking for Maddy so...

we can go for a walk.

JIM:
Hmm.

You're supposed to be in school.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I'll go back to school now.

(chuckles) Zoe?

Let me have a look.

(guttural purring)

Oh, Zoe...

DUNHAM: I gotta say,
I just don't get it.

What?

Why someone would
betray the colony.

I know. Well, I used to be
pretty down about this place,

but now it's kinda
grown on me.

Seeing as how I tagged along,

I should probably go check in
with the foreman.

I'll save you
a spot.

I was starting to think
you weren't gonna make it.

I'm here. Let's go.

Man: Lift them up.
(cable whizzing)

This week's intel.

Now let me see her.

She looks worse today.

We haven't given her
the meds for a couple days.

What? Why?

You were late
with the intel drop.

You son of a bitch.

You want out of the deal?
Go ahead.

Take her back to Terra Nova
and watch her die.

Which she will,
without this.

Remember, we're
the only ones with a cure.

Next time
don't be late.

(sighs)

Hi.

It's me.

Skye, you're here.

How you doing, Mom?

(coughs)

Mom, they're going to give you
more medicine.

But I need to get back
before I'm missed.

Elisabeth.

- Hey.
- Hey.

What is that?

Clean sample.

But that's all
we could extract.

Malcolm did this?

Yeah, but it
took some persuading.

Okay.

- And we're off.
- Okay.

You know, given the level
of dissolution,

this DNA extraction
isn't going to be ready

until tomorrow morning.

- Tomorrow morning?
- Yeah.

Well, is there anything we can
do to speed up the process?

No, I'm sorry. It needs time.

But it will give you the
identity of the traitor.

Okay. Look, I've got to go debrief
this morning's security patrols.

If anything comes up,
find a soldier, raise me.

Copy that, sir.

Dr. Shannon, I'm
sorry I'm late.

I was helping out
with Josh's detail.

Oh, of course.
No problem.

Um, so, uh, do you want me

to finish the supplies
inventory from last night?

Um, actually Nurse Ogawa is
prepping and sterilizing

the CO-2 inhalers for
the arrival of the Eleventh.

Maybe you can help with that.

- Yeah, of course.
- Thanks, Skye.

Enough?

(distant chittering)

So, uh, how old is she?

Turned seven in July.

Seven... that's a good age.

Guess I'll have to just
take your word for it.

You got somebody
looking after her?

That's part of the deal.

Even if I can't be with her,
at least I know she's okay.

That's no small thing,

knowing you've done
right by your child.

(rustling)

(squawking)

He looks good,
by the way.

Lucas.

- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.

(squawking)

That's good to hear.

(animals chittering)

I'm getting that feeling again.

Yeah.

Something's
out there.

It's stalking us.

(animal chittering)

(rustling)

It's over there.
(slashers howl)

Run.

Go.

(slashers howling)

Move!
Keep moving!

Come on, keep moving!

Faster!

(grunts)

(howling)

On your feet.
Let's go.

(both grunting)

Come on.

(slashers screech)

(both grunting)

(slashers howling)

It's all I could
come up with.

I can't find
the damn guns.

Can't see
a damn thing down there.

Let it go, Taylor.

You dove five times.
The pool's too deep.

This is not
slasher territory.

What are they
doing here?

You see those yellow oval
spots on the male's neck?

Adolescent markings.

Gone by the time
a slasher turns four.

Yeah, what we got here
is a male and a female

marking out their region
for the first time.

(exhales)

They're moving in.

That's why they're
so aggressive.

In their minds,
we're competing for this turf.

That attack was as much
about claiming territory

as it was about
killing us.

They're going to be back.

Oh, yeah, I figure
they're working

their way down around
the falls right now.

(exhales)

Guns are gone.

This is all we got.

We can fight
each other...

or we can fight them.

Sun's going down.

We'll never
make it back

to your transport
before nightfall.

That's when they'll
attack again.

Yeah.

This is
good ground.

It's defensible,
good sight lines.

We stay here
and we fight.

(equipment trilling and beeping)

(equipment trilling)

Not bad.

It'll never burn.

That's too thick.

It's just right.

Listen to me.

I know how to fight
these bastards.

I spent 118 days
out here on my own.

Good for you... I'm
coming up on a thousand.

You know, after we
left Terra Nova,

we lost a lot of good people

before we learned
how to survive...

but we learned.

(distant squawking)

(growling and squawking)

You ready?

Ready.

(indistinct chatter)

REYNOLDS: I know you're busy, sir,
but if I could just have a minute...

JIM: Sure,
make it quick, Reynolds.

Uh, the, the events in
the last couple of days

just got me to thinking
that, uh, you know,

w-what's important in life an-
an-and what's not important

and that life,
life is short,

so short, and...

I would like to declare my
intentions for your daughter.

Excuse me?

Uh... I-I mean, w-w-what
I'm saying is that I...

someday

I would, uh... like to
make her my wife.

Maddy's 16.

Yeah, yeah,
no, no, no,

I-I know, and, and,
look, I-I will wait.

No, it's always been
my intention to wait.

Copy that.

Reynolds, did you forget
that we're hunting a spy?

Copy that.

Any news on the
blood sample?

I'm going
to check that now.

Yeah, I-I'm going to go away.

I'll, uh... bye.

What happened?

One of the night nurses
called me.

It's the DNA sample.

It's destroyed.

The spy.

It's someone
who had access

- to this building.
- Yeah, well,

they obviously caught on
that you were getting close

and decided to cover
their tracks.

I need you
to put together a list

of all medical center employees,

the patients, and,
uh, their families

who came to
visit them.

Okay, I'll do it.

It won't be a short list.

Maybe not,

but it's a list
and the mole is on it,

and that's a start.

Huh, nice tattoo.

You were a Secessionist.

I worked security for them.

So you were at the Dome
when the army stormed the place?

That's why you went to prison.

Couldn't get work after that.

Guess that's what happens when
you choose the wrong side.

And here you are,

on the wrong side once again.

We'll see.

I'm gonna grab another
stave, make a backup.

(rustling and growling)

Take the shot.

(growling)

(growling)

(yelling)

(growling)

(growling)

(screeching and growling)

(squealing)

(panting)

Grubs.

Protein.

Could have been different.

What's that?

You and I.

I figure there's a
parallel universe out there

somewhere where...
we are allies.

I've had that thought.

You're smart.

Good fighter.

We could have made
a hell of a team.

(trilling)

84 suspects.

Better than the whole colony.

We just got to figure out a way
to narrow down this list.

(sighs)

ELISABETH: I can narrow
it down for you now.

I combed through the shards
of data that were left.

Now, the DNA extraction
didn't complete, but it went

far enough to tell us that
you are looking for a female.

Huh. A woman.

84 names just became...

47.

Taylor?

Nice hunting with you.

I was about
to say the same thing.

Look, your son is
close to figuring out

how to reverse the portal.

- This really is almost over.
- Maybe so.

Question is...
how does it end?

We'll find out soon enough.

Okay Z, it's time
to take Boxer home.

Bye, Boxer. I'll miss you.

Now, be a good boy,

eat lots of leaves,
and sleep all the time,

and have good dreams
and play with your friends.

(Boxer coos)

Okay?

All right, Z, it's time.

(cooing)

(bellowing)

Bye.

(cooing)

(cooing)

Uh, sir?

Uh, it was a pleasure
riding with you today.

That's what the
cops say, right?

Close enough.

(sighs)

Reynolds?

Come here.

Got to tell you something.

Look, I know I make you nervous,

and I can be a little
tough sometimes,

but Maddy's my oldest girl.

I get protective.
You know?

And if you think I'm bad,

you should have met Elisabeth's
father back in the day.

I mean, compared to him,
I'm a... I'm a puppy dog.

(both laugh)

Anyway, uh...

I think you're a good kid.

And that's it.

- Thank you, sir.
- Oh.

No, I'm not your C.O. anymore,
so, no need to call me sir.

- Thanks, Jim.
- No, no.

It's still
Mr. Shannon to you.

Oh. Yeah. I'm sorry.

JIM: Whoa.

You look like you were
wrestling with a Nyko.

It was not a boring trip.

So, Lucas make any progress
reversing the portal?

I'm afraid he has.

How about you?
You making progress?

Oh, we got it down
to 47 suspects.

And we know
it's a woman.

(sighs)

47.

You keep working on it.

Get this finished for me.

I will.

How'd it feel?

Wearing the commander's cap
while I was gone?

Wouldn't want
to do it every day.

(laughs)

- Skye.
- Mr. Shannon.

- Glad you're back.
- Good to be back.

It's good to see you.

Everything okay?

You bet.

So, we still gonna take a walk
together out to Memorial Field?

Yeah, I hope so.

Good.

All right, let me get myself
cleaned up,

and, uh, I'll meet you
at the main gate

in, uh, 15 or 20.

You know,

I meant what I said to you.

They'd be real proud

to see the fine young woman
you've become.

Skye, you got something
on your mind?

- No.
- All right.
