Terra Nova (2011): Season 1, Episode 11 - Within - full transcript

That's it. The portal Terminus.

You came through it
the day you got here.

I don't remember. But, then
again, it was pretty much a blur.

One minute I was in
2149, next, I was here.

Hope Plaza sent it through in
pieces after the Fourth Pilgrimage.

Some assembly required.

Before we got it,
there was no way of

knowing where the fracture
would spit people out.

The Second Pilgrimage ended
up about eight clicks north of here.

The Third Pilgrimage,

they landed smack in the
middle of Arrowpoint Lake.



That was fun.

So, this thing fixes the
portal on our end, huh?

You're not gonna ask me
how it works, are you? Good.

I'm really not in the
mood to pretend I know.

The Eleventh Pilgrimage is
due here in a matter of days.

I want that Sixer
spy locked in the brig

before the new
colonists get here.

How's that coming?

Interview is still in progress.

There's still a few left. Actually,
I need a word with Reilly.

Fair enough. I'm gonna head in.

Gotta dispatch the
afternoon patrols.

Mmm-hmm.

Everybody clear on their orders?



Sir, yes, sir.

Eyes on the portal,
round the clock.

Any activity, I wanna know ASAP.

Reilly, step out. Sheriff
wants a word with you.

What are you
standing around for?

Sheriff, what can I do for you?

As you know, some evidence
that may have identified the spy

was destroyed in the
infirmary the other night

and I need to question
everyone who had access.

You understand?

Of course. Ask away.

Okay. You checked into
the infirmary that night.

Why?

Fresh squashed my
thumb in the door of a rover.

I said I was sorry.

But, thanks to your
wife, it's fully operational.

Good.

Well, did you see anyone

or anything unusual in
the infirmary that night?

Just staff, patients,
family members.

Just like any other night.

All right. That's all I need.

Skye.

Appreciate ya comin' in.

No problem. You're getting
me out of construction duty.

Those are some nasty cuts
on your hands. Rough work?

Brutal. I volunteer before every
Pilgrimage and always end up looking like

I took a midnight swim
in a lake full of xiphs.

Thursday, between 9:00 and
11:00 a.m., where were you?

The spy tried contacting
the Sixers that morning.

So, I need to know
where everyone was.

I was with Josh.

Yeah? What were you guys up to?

What you say, can and
will be used against you.

We were at my
house, on the porch.

I was trying to teach
him how to play chess.

Yeah? How did he do?

Diamond in the rough.
But I think he has potential.

Ain't that the truth.

All right. Well, if you
see anything suspicious.

I'll let you know.

Great. Okay.

And, don't think this gets
you out of construction duty.

Josh! Enough!

I'm sorry, is this
bothering you?

How about now?

You know what,

I'm just going to ignore your
desperate cry for attention.

What just happened?
Josh, did you do something?

Why do you always have
to blame everything on me?

Because everything
is usually your fault.

It's my Plex.

You blew your core.
Mine died last week.

What?

Hey.

Mom, my world just ended.

She just needs a new core.

A promethium core?

Well, you might have to wait
until the Eleventh gets here.

But I have
everything on my Plex.

My diaries. My
homework. My music.

My books. My whole
life. Sucks for you.

Maddy, promethium's a highly
specialized piece of technology.

It's not like we can just
walk down the street

and get you a new one. You know?

And there's a colony-wide
shortage as it is.

I dunno. Maybe you can
scrounge one up from somewhere.

But, for now I think you're just
gonna have to make do. Okay?

Who wants lunch?

I can't. Gotta go to work.

Try Casey Durwin. He
might be able to help you out.

Just bring something
to trade, all right?

Oh, Josh. Hey.

Hey.

Where you headed? Ditch duty?

New apprenticeship. Auto Bay.

I wanted to ask you something.

Shoot. Heads up!

So, I just got done
talking to your dad.

And, if he asks you where
you were last Thursday,

could you just say that you
were playing chess at my place?

Why would I say that?

Because, I am asking you to.

What were you really doing?

Stuff. Like?

It's stupid.

Skye, it's me.

I was pinching some copper
tubing from maintenance.

And, by, "pinching,"
I mean, borrow.

And by, "borrow," I mean I
will give it back eventually.

Happy?

Are you making a new still? Is
this one of Hunter's brilliant ideas?

Something like that.

Right.

But, so, will you cover for me?

You're asking me
to lie to my dad.

Your dad's looking
for a Sixer spy.

Unless you think it's me, and
I've just been fooling everybody.

I know you're not a spy.

Okay, so what's the big deal?

Sure. No problem.

Thank you. I know
I could trust you.

Intel.

You're welcome.

Hey, Mom.

Bucket, my sweet Bucket.

I've been worried.
It's been a week.

I know. Sorry.

I worry. You know I
worry. I can't help myself.

I know.

They feeding you okay?

I'll try to come by more often.

I brought you some food.

Where'd you get that blanket?

Hello.

Who are you?

Bucket, it's all right.

Lucas Taylor. The honor's mine.

You're Taylor's son?

Yeah. I've been
told I have his eyes.

You're supposed to be missing.

You found me.

What do you want?

I want us to be friends.

Your mother and I
are friends. Right, Deb?

Lucas brought the blanket.

It's the least I could do.

Your mother needs her
rest. Can we talk outside?

How sweet. Mommy doesn't
know you're a spy, does she?

My guess is, she has no idea what
you've had to do to keep her alive.

Don't talk about my mother.

Why don't we talk
about my father then?

How is the great commander these
days? Has he walked on water yet?

Raised a man from the grave?

What do you want?

I have a job for
you. I work for Mira.

And who do you
think she works for?

The Sixers can't complete
their mission without me.

If I need you to do something,
believe me, Mira will understand.

Do you know what this is?

My life's work. How to make
the time portal go both ways.

I've almost solved it.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

But the equation needs to
be factored and reconciled.

I could do it by hand, but it'd
take weeks maybe months.

In Terra Nova, in The Eye, it
would take less than an hour.

You want me to do it?

I'll give you a day.

No. Information only.

That is my deal with Mira.

Just plug it in. Let
The Eye do the rest.

What if I don't?

It's a long way down.

You'll do it or I'll toss
your mother over the side,

and then she'll find out
just how far down it really is.

You better get moving,

Bucket.

I double-checked the
perimeter just like you asked.

There's a drainage ditch
out by the AG center.

It's small, but it
wouldn't be impossible

for someone to sneak
in and out that way.

Put a security cam
on it just in case.

Will do.

And, Wash, double up in
your west perimeter patrol,

I want eyes on that
tree line. Will do.

Hey, Dad. Josh.

Oh, Josh. Before I forget,

last Thursday between 7:00
and 11:00 a.m., where were you?

Playing chess with Skye. Where?

Her place.

All I needed to know.

Hello?

Activate.

Well?

You're a smart girl.

Okay, say I did have a
use for a frilly green scarf,

an old teddy bear...

Miss Dorothy.

Yeah, and what the heck...

Abacus. I used to collect
them, but this is the only one

I brought through
the portal with me.

Well, it still wouldn't be enough
to buy a promethium core.

Look, I bet that this is the
only abacus on Terra Nova.

With good reason.
Which makes it rare.

Which makes it junk.

One man's trash is
another man's treasure.

Look, I appreciate the
hustle, okay? But the reality is

if you got nothing to
trade, I can't help you.

You see the trick is to...

Damn it. Bum wheel.
What was I saying?

The trick is to
find something...

Yeah, to find something that
the person can't live without.

Then you make the trade.
No one needs an "acubus."

Abacus. Whatever.

What if I could get you a wheel?

Well, then, my
friend, we could talk.

Those are nice. Hey,
come on, it's imported.

Lucas?

Bucket, did it work?

Yeah, I think so.

For your sake and your
sweet mother's sake, I hope so.

Yes.

Yes, yes.

I knew you could do it.

This is gonna work.

I'm so close. Just a day or two.

I've seen these before,
out by Snakehead Falls.

And did you tell my father?

No.

Area's off-limits.

He wants to keep our
issues in the family.

The two of us, we suffer from
a Shakespearean relationship

that borders on Greek tragedy.

Have you always
hated him this much?

No, not always.

It started in 2138, August.

What happened then?

Ask him yourself.

So after the portal opens
both ways, what then?

You'll see. Now, out,
Bucket. I have work to do.

Don't make me tell you twice.

Shannon, check this out.

What do you got?

This is footage
from a few hours ago

from the camera
out by the AG center.

That's Skye. Mmm-hmm.

What's she doing?

I'm sure she's got a
perfectly good reason

to be sneaking out of Terra Nova

through a drainage ditch
covered in brush thorn.

I'll notify the commander.

Hold on.

I gotta... I gotta
double-check something.

Josh?

Listen, I'm gonna
ask you something,

and I need you to be
honest with me, understand?

Sure.

You weren't with Skye
last Thursday, were you?

No.

You know where she was?

Yeah, she said that if you
ask, I should say I was with her.

I didn't think it was
that big of a deal.

I thought you were looking for
a Sixer spy. What's going on?

Josh...

You're my son, and
I love you very much,

but don't lie to me again, okay?

Yeah.

And you're grounded.

Come on! I've been grounded
since I walked through the portal.

Mmm-hmm.

What's going on? I
found the Sixer mole.

And our son's been lying for
her to help cover her tracks.

I just...

And you're sure it's her?

I've been retracing her
whereabouts for the last week.

Too many holes.

She hasn't been on
construction duty like she said,

plus her alibi for the morning
the Sixers tried to make contact

doesn't check out.

I'm sorry.

Me, too.

I got a man inside
the Sixer camp.

I'm gonna get to him and see
if he can confirm that it's her.

Who's your man?

Curran.

After I banished him, I
thought I'd make use of him,

give him the chance to earn
his way back to the colony.

Well, in the meantime, I'll
get Wash to bring Skye in.

No.

I've got a better idea.

Your mind's not on the game.

Didn't see that one
coming, did you?

No, I sure didn't.

Commander.

What's the word on
the supply convoy?

Almost ready to leave.

Pack me on a rover
with a 50-cal gunner.

I know Devil's Canyon
better than most.

I want those sonic
mines at Outpost 3 ASAP.

I'll run point on this myself.

Yes, sir.

Convoy will be ready
to leave in an hour.

Your move.

Hey. Hi.

You working?

Off in a few hours. Why?

I need a wheel.

A wheel?

Yeah, for Casey Durwin.

Why?

If I find him a
wheel for his chair,

then he'll give me a
promethium core for my Plex.

I haven't done any homework
or read in almost 24 hours,

and I'm going slightly insane.

Okay, wait. You haven't
done homework in 24 hours?

Are you, are you okay?
You need to sit down?

Mark, it's not funny.

Okay.

Come back in an hour. I'll
help you find that wheel, okay?

You're amazing. Back at ya.

And there she goes.

She took the bait.

Yeah.

Once Mira finds out
about the convoy,

she'll be on it with
everything she's got.

We'll be ready for her.

We'll bring her in if we can.

But one way or the
other, this is gonna end.

Still nothing,
Shannon. You copy?

Roger that.

All eyes still on
you, and you're clear.

But when they make their
move, we'll be all over them.

Commander, it looks
like we have movement.

They're coming in behind us.

Talk to me, Shannon. How many?

I can't get a visual. Stand by.

Commander, visual contact.

These Sixers are
50-foot tall, gray,

and very, very hungry.

Phew!

We gave Mira a golden
opportunity. But it's been hours.

They ain't showing.

I think she must have
spotted you and your team.

I don't think so.

You got another theory,
I'd sure like to hear it.

Maybe Skye didn't tell her.

Well, then why'd she
hightail it out of Terra Nova

the minute she heard
about this convoy?

Think about it.

The Sixers never found
any of our weapons caches.

They've never attacked a
convoy when we really needed it.

She's giving them intel,

but nothing that would
actually hurt the colony.

Why give them anything at all?

'Cause I think they're
holding something over her.

Mira.

Back so soon?

Just trying to take
care of my mom,

since your people
aren't feeding her.

You know what this is? Medicine.

Your mother's dose for the day.

What if a strong wind
came and blew it away?

My spotters say a convoy
went through Devil's Canyon

about an hour ago.

Why the hell didn't
you contact us?

Because I didn't
know about the convoy.

It's your job to know.

Your intel has
been garbage lately.

I'm doing the best I can.

Yeah?

Do better.

Next week?

I'll be here.

I'll have something.

So, how about that trade?

Wow!

Aren't you the industrious one?

Well, you know,
I had a little help.

Did a little scavenging in
the military junkyard and ta-da!

Breaks my heart to tell you
this, but somebody beat you to it.

What?

They picked up my last
promethium core this morning.

They traded me a
brand-new wheel.

Who bought it?

Tom Boylan?

Who wants to know?

I'm Maddy. I came for a core.

Because Casey Durwin said
that he sold the last one to you,

and I'm not
leaving until I trade.

A core, eh? Expensive
piece of technology.

Yes, well, I need it for my Plex

and my studies and...

I really like to study.

Yeah? I used to like to
study. Look how far it got me.

How much do you want
for it? More than you've got.

Well, why do you need it?

To run a new set of taps.

Highly necessary. Now, out!

Because, as you can
see, I am a busy man.

Well, I can help you
with this, you know.

I'm really good with numbers
and organizing things.

Really?

Yeah, yeah. I
even like doing it.

My organizational
services for a core.

Interesting proposal.

Maddy... Shannon.

As in Sheriff Shannon?

Yeah, my dad.

So the sheriff's daughter
organizing my books?

No. No.

No, thank you.

Did your dad put you up to this?

No!

I tell you, I tell you what.
I tell you how about...

I just give you the core?

What, you're just
giving it to me?

No, I want you to have it.

Just tell your dad what a
nice guy I was giving it to you.

Off you go. Okay.

It's a little weird.

Yeah. Thank you.

Would you like a wheel?

Bucket!

I solved it. It's done.
Thank you, Bucket.

You know how to make
the portal open both ways?

And now everything changes.

What are you talking about?

Hey, why "Bucket"?

I have to know.

I...

When I was little, I wanted
to be in the army like my dad,

so I used to put a
bucket on my head

and pretend it was a helmet.

Name kind of stuck.

It suits you.

I've always found it so
strange why so many people

want to be like their fathers.

Not me. I just wanted
to destroy mine.

Where are you going?

To the portal.

2149 awaits.

There's so much to
do, and not much time.

But I wanted to
tell you, before I left,

you shouldn't go
back to Terra Nova.

It's not safe for you
there. They're coming.

Who?

My employers.

The people who hired the Sixers.

They're gonna take control of Terra
Nova, and if my father fights them,

which he will, they'll
burn it to the ground,

with or without
the people in it.

Why would they do that?

Control the past and
you control the future.

Well, Taylor won't
let that happen.

He's a man, not a god.

But don't tell him that.
You'll hurt his feelings.

When the tanks roll in

and my employer starts stripping
this place into nonexistence,

the commander
will know, finally,

that I beat him.

I've been waiting for this
day since I was 14 years old.

And I have you to thank.

Searched her place, found these.

They're maintenance access
cards. They're old ones.

Hacked ones.

She's been using them
a couple times a week

to access Relay Station Nine.

Relay Station Nine, that's a
click and a half outside the gates.

What, a meeting place? Possibly.

Listen, I know it's not much, but
there could be something out there,

some, some reason behind
why she's doing all this.

I sure hope you're right. I
really hope there's a reason.

So I can make some
sense out of all of this.

Let's move.

I shouldn't have helped Lucas,

but I didn't know
what else to do.

And if something
happens, it's my fault.

And something will
happen, he said it would.

It's just a matter of time.

He's on his way there now.

Sweetheart, I didn't know.
Why didn't you tell me?

'Cause I didn't
want you to worry.

I don't think I can
do this anymore.

Bucket, look at me.

Skye Alexandria Tate,
you look at me right now.

You don't have
to do this anymore.

What?

You're not doing this anymore.

This has gone on long enough.

If I had have known, I would've
put an end to it a long time ago.

You're going to run
back to Terra Nova,

you're going to go
straight to Taylor,

and you tell him
everything you know.

And you are never coming
back here, you understand?

What about you?

I've been sick a long time.

A very long time. I'm tired.

Mom, please.

You've been such a strong girl.

You know how proud
your father would've been?

Now, get up, go.

Don't you worry about
your mom, I'll be fine.

Go, Skye. Hurry.

I got something.

Yeah, this belongs to Skye.

I gave her a sonic
for her last birthday.

Damn good shot.

Hands up!

Please don't shoot!

I need to warn you.

Put the sonic down.

We know you're the spy.

Give me one good reason
why I shouldn't lock you away

for the rest of your life.

I wanted to tell you.

I just... The Sixers
have my mom!

Your mother's been dead
for the last three years.

No, she's alive!

They, they have a
treatment for Syncillic fever,

and after my dad died, I
snuck her out to their camp,

and Mira said that she would
save her, if I spied for them.

You have to listen to me.

Lucas finished his calculations.

What do you know about
Lucas and his calculations?

I talked to him, and he's on
his way to the portal right now.

He's gonna activate it
to make it go both ways.

Why are you just standing
there? You have to go!

You've been lying to me
for God knows how long.

Why the hell should I
believe anything you say?

I am done lying, Taylor.

I'm done. Yeah?

What can you say to me
that is gonna convince me

that you ever actually
even talked to my son?

He...

He mentioned 2132.

No, no, no, no, no. 2138.

August, 2138.

You go straight to the colony
and wait for us there, understand?

Of course.

Taylor, I'm sorry!

Dunham, this is Shannon.

Dunham, come in. Over.

Dunham, do you copy? Anybody?
I'm here with the commander.

Shannon this is Dunham. I didn't
copy. Interference on this end.

Go again. Over.

What was that?

The portal.

It's initiating.

I thought the
Eleventh Pilgrimage

wasn't scheduled till next week.

Reilly to Taylor. Come in.

We have unscheduled
portal activity. Over.

That thing's
causing interference.

I wouldn't do
that if I were you.

Get down on the ground!
Now! DUNHAM: Don't move!

You first.

Lucas!

Step away from the portal.

I'd take it easy with
those guns, if I were you.

I'll say it one more time,
step away from the portal

or I'll shoot you.

No, you won't.

One blast from those sonics
could blow the whole fracture apart,

and that would cut you
off from the future for good.

And you wouldn't
want that, would you?

I can't tell you how glad
I am that you're here.

All those nights I
spent out in the jungle,

freezing, starving...

The only thing
that kept me alive

was the thought of you
being here to see this.

Son...

Don't! Don't call me that!

Listen to me.

There are good people
here. Innocent people.

Think what will happen to Terra
Nova if you go through with this.

I know what's going to happen.

They're going to come
and take you off your throne

and make you watch while
they strip this place and take it

for everything it's worth.

Over my dead body.

That's the spirit.

Go down fighting for a dream,

some Utopia and all
that's right and true!

Open your eyes,
old man! It's over!

I beat you. I won.

Soon you'll be on your
knees, begging me for mercy.

The next time we
meet, I won't be alone.

Lucas!

She's all I have.

And I just

left her there.

If she told you to go,
then you had to do it.

You did the right thing.

Skye, we need you in
the infirmary right now.

Skye...

Mom!

Bucket.

Mom...

How did you do this?

You have this man to
thank. You remember Curran?

The commander sent word
to get your mother out of there

and Curran came through.

This is what the
Sixers were giving her.

They, they never
told me what was in it.

Well, this is good, Skye.

With Malcolm's help, we should
be able to figure out what it is

and make a synthetic copy.

She's going to be okay.

You hear that?

We should let your
mother sleep now.

All right, you get some
rest, get cleaned up.

My office, first
thing in the morning.

Sir.

Deborah.

I'm mighty glad to see you.

Skye...

Not now.

Give him time.

Any word on the team?

Word from Wash is that
the Sixer camp is deserted.

They move damn
quick, I'll give Mira that.

As soon as she realized that Curran
had gotten Deborah out of there,

she knew he'd tip
us off to their location.

Look, I'm a little surprised

you're allowing a
murderer back in the colony.

Curran killed a man,

but today he saved
a woman's life.

I'm not going to pin
a medal on his chest,

but he earned himself
a second chance.

You know,

most men don't get the opportunity
to atone for their mistakes.

Believe me, I know
something about that.

I made a big one, and
from that day to this,

my son has never
let me forget it.

Somalia?

August, 2138.

Lucas's mother died

because I couldn't save her.

He's hated me from
that moment on.

You know what?

Some nights, most nights,
I don't blame him one bit.

What happens now?

Now, we fight.

Look, we've got to assume that
Lucas made it through to 2149.

The people who are
behind him and the Sixers,

they're going to come at us hard

and they're going
to come at us soon.

No matter what they're
planning, the only way to get here

is through Hope Plaza.

That's right.

The Eleventh Pilgrimage
is a few days away.

Let's make sure we're ready.

There's a chance
that Lucas got caught

when he arrived at
Hope Plaza, right?

Lucas Taylor is smart, Maddy.

I don't think he'd leave
something like that up to chance.

He went back with a plan.

What about all the people coming
through on the Eleventh Pilgrimage?

What's going to happen to Kara?

All we can do is
hope for the best.

And prepare for the worst.

None of you signed up
for this fight, I know that.

All you wanted was
a second chance

for yourselves and
for your children.

It pains me to have
to ask more of you.

Our home, our
hope, is under attack,

but I've seen your
tenacity, your bravery.

I've seen you carve out lives for
yourselves in this harsh environment.

I've seen you face
untold dangers,

and I'll tell you from my heart,

there are no people

that I would rather
fight alongside.

If we stand strong,
shoulder to shoulder,

we'll prevail.
