Terra Nova (2011): Season 1, Episode 5 - The Runaway - full transcript

DUNHAM: Corporal Reilly? Yeah?

DUNHAM: Do we have patrols
running the perimeter tonight?

Not that I'm aware of.

Why?

Because I think
I've got something.

You always got something.

No, this is definitely something.
Red reading. Warm blood.

I think it's human.

BRADY: (EXHALES)
That's gotta be a Sixer.

And if there's one,
there's bound to be more.

We better get Wash on the line.



MAN: Watch out!

The tree line! Bet you'll
get a heat signature.

ALICIA: Go! Go! Go! Go!

Dunham, go around. Go!

ALICIA: There. Biker
One, coming your way.

This won't hurt a bit.

Oh!

Hey. Hey.

It's okay.

(GLASS SHATTERING)

It's okay. Calm down.

ALICIA: Nobody's gonna hurt you.

Wash? Where is she?

She's right over there.



She's here? Yeah.

Hi.

She's terrified. I need to
get everybody out of here

and just clear some
space for us, all right?

That includes you.

Understood. But I
wanna talk to her, Doc.

Okay, just, give me a few
minutes alone with her, all right?

Hello, little one,
don't be frightened.

No one's gonna hurt you.

I'm Dr. Shannon.

Do you know where you are?

Under a table.

I'm sorry about my colleagues. I
don't think they meant to scare you.

They want to give me
a shot. I don't like shots.

You have a name?

If I tell you, can I go?

Perhaps, once I've
taken a look at you.

Why don't you come
out here and talk to me?

No.

Okay.

What if I promised
no shots? Just this?

It's just a light. It
won't hurt you. Look.

Would you come out then? Yeah?

Okay.

Okay.

I lost my bag.

In the jungle?

They were chasing
me and I dropped it.

I don't like chases.

Well, that's okay. We can get
somebody to go and look for your bag.

So, you gonna tell me your name?

Leah Marcos.

So, do you have somebody
waiting for you back at home?

Camp?

What about your mother?

Dead.

Pleural...

Pleural sarcoma?

I'm sorry.

And your father?

Slasher got him.

Mira says it happens sometimes.

TAYLOR: Anybody hungry?

Been awhile since you've eaten?

Only get scraps.

That's why I ran away.

I'm gonna stay with my nana.
She always has a lot of food.

Does Nana live in Terra Nova?

9-0-0-7 Newberry Avenue.

Apartment C, District Ten.

New Texas.

I tried to find the portal but I
got turned around backwards.

Which way is it?

Finish your food.

We'll talk about it later.

(TAYLOR'S RADIO CRACKLES)

Taylor here. Talk to me.

BRADY: Perimeter is clear. Over.

Copy that. Taylor out.

Commander Taylor?

That would be me.

You're the bad man.

(SIGHS)

You know, I remember you.

Marcos, Leah Marcos.

It's been a long time
since I've seen you.

Last time I saw you, you
were just about that big.

You were just a peanut.

I grew.

So you did.

You know, there was
a time when I knew

everybody's name in Terra Nova.

Man, woman, and peanut.

You got a brother, right? Sam.

Well, her BMI is lower
than I'd like it to be.

And I'd like to get some more fluids
in her. But she's generally healthy.

I'm going now.

Leah! Whoa! Whoa!

Hold on there, kiddo. It's
okay. Hold on. It's okay.

Look, this is my
husband. This is Jim.

You're all right, okay?

JIM: Listen, Leah. Uh...

We got something
we need to tell you.

ELISABETH: I need you to
listen to me carefully, Leah, okay?

You know the portal?

It doesn't go both ways.

What?

JIM: Once you come through,

you can't go back.

You're lying!

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

So I can't go see my grandma?

No, I'm afraid you can't.

Where do I go now?

I can't stay here,
not with the bad man.

And I can't go back
to Mira's. She'll...

She'll hurt me for running away.

(SIGHS)

Well, that's one tough
young lady. Hmm.

Imagine that, humping
through the jungle on her own,

from God knows where.

It's amazing she made
it as far as she did.

You know,

this could turn out to
be a good thing for us.

How do you mean?

Well, we need
intel on the Sixers.

Where is it they hide out?

Who's their inside man
here in Terra Nova?

But she's just a kid. I mean,
how much could she really know?

Well, we won't know
anything till we gain her trust,

make her feel at home.

How's she doin'?

You know, she's still upset. But I
think I managed to calm her down.

You do seem to
have that effect on her.

(SCOFFS)

Until we find her a
permanent place to live,

she's gonna need
somewhere to stay.

Well, she can stay with us.

Right, Jim?

Elisabeth, so, what,
a family of six now?

Come on.

She can have Josh's room.

He'll be fine on the
couch for a while.

It's settled then.

Very good.

Why do I have to
give up my room?

Because Zoe's six
and I'm a girl. Josh.

What does that have
to do with anything?

ELISABETH: Welcome to our home.

Okay. Shh. That's them. Be nice.

Hey, everyone. Come
and meet Josh and Maddy.

Where's Josh?

He's down there.

Hey. Everyone,
this is Leah Marcos.

Leah, this is our son, Josh.

Hello. Welcome.

And this is our eldest
daughter, Maddy.

She's going to be starting an
apprenticeship at the infirmary

with me tomorrow.

Hi.

And this is our youngest, Zoe.

Zoe has got a
plant that eats bugs.

In her spare time, she
makes these toy dinosaurs.

Pretty cool, huh?

Well, uh, bathroom's
through there.

And kitchen's over there.

In case you get hungry again.

Um... Do you wanna see
where you're gonna sleep?

It's okay. It's only a light.

Here, let's make the bed up.

(SOFTLY) We should
probably let her sleep.

Yeah.

I don't even know what the
kid's bag is supposed to look like.

My guess, dirty.

Hey, found it!

Give it here.

Cute.

(GRUNTS)

(DUNHAM SCREAMING)

(YELLS)

(GRUNTS)

(YELLING)

Come on!

Still doing Taylor's dirty work.

What have you done with her?

How'd Leah sleep last night?

Oh, she was out
cold for 14 hours.

And she refused
to take a shower.

Apparently, she's
afraid of hot water.

Nice. Maybe we can trade.

Leah can stay with us and
Maddy can move in with the Sixers.

More hot showers for everyone.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

Good morning.

I think yellow's your color.

Don't like yellow. Itches.

Okay.

Breakfast?

What about the hair, Maddy?

Baby steps, Mom.

She threw the brush at me. Oh.

Uh, Jim, can you look
after the girls today?

No. Gotta go see Taylor.

There's a few things
he wants to talk about.

Shouldn't take long.

But I've got Maddy with
me at the hospital all day.

Okay. Uh, Josh.

Yeah?

Need you to babysit Leah
and Zoe until I get back.

A few hours tops.

What am I supposed
to do with them?

Think of something.

Have fun.

Hmm.

So.

Okay. What do we have here?

Rajiv Swarup.

Thirty-six-year-old male.
Laceration to his right arm.

They gave me
something for the pain.

But it still hurts
like a son of a...

Let's take a look.

Okay.

How'd this happen?

The Autoplow jammed up.

I tried to fix it. Next thing
you know, my arm's sausage.

Ooh, Maddy, come
and take a look at this.

Uh, that's okay.

I'll just stand over here
and observe from over here.

Last little bit. It's okay.

So, that's probably...
Went right into the...

I sent Washington out at
dawn to look for the girl's bag.

Thought maybe it'd
buy us some goodwill.

That's what I wanted to talk
to you about. Mornin', Tres.

Here you go, sir. Thank you.

How soon is too soon to start a
de-briefing? Today? Tomorrow?

You might wanna give her
a little more time than that.

I'll discuss it with
Elisabeth. All right.

MAN: Sixers!

Sixers!

MAN: Contact on Sixers.

Sound the alarm. To your posts!

(ALARM BLARING)

They've come for me.

Hey, you're safe here, Leah.

No one gets through the
gates unless Taylor says so.

(SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

They've come for the girl.

Whoever they've got on the
inside tipped them she's here.

Raise the gate.

You got a spare one of those?

Thanks.

So?

You have something
that belongs to me.

I want her back.

Is that why you
abducted my people?

Just returning
the favor, Taylor.

The girl came to us.

I don't believe you.

I think your people took her.

I think she's being
held as your prisoner.

I think we both
know that's not true.

You want your people back?

Give me the girl.

This is not a negotiation.

The girl will decide
her own fate.

If she wants to leave
with you, she's free to go.

Then bring her out
here, and let's find out.

As soon as you
release my people.

Let them go.

What?

I said, let them go.

Shannon, bring
the girl out here.

Dad came and got Leah.

What?

Mira wants to talk to her.

Okay, look after your sister.

But, Mom...

Just do it, Maddy.

JIM: Just tell the
truth, Leah. It'll be okay.

Leah, look at me.

Tell them you want to come home.

Speak!

I ran away.

I'm not going back with you.

I wanna stay here.

TAYLOR: She's made her decision.

The girl stays.

Keep her then.

She's nothing to me.

This is the second time you've come
to my gates and threatened the colony.

There won't be a third.

Next time I'm goin' to war.

MAN: Bring 'em in!

TAYLOR: I want a list of
everybody who was outside the gates

from the time she got
here till 0900 this morning.

Sometime in that 24-hour window,

the spy must've got in
contact with the Sixers.

Let's find 'em. Okay.

You, hey, Peanut.

You did great out there.

You weren't even
scared, were you?

I could see that you weren't.

Why, you looked like you might
even throw a punch or somethin'.

Thought I'd have
to hold you back.

Hey, let's see
what you got, huh?

Come on. Let me have it.

(WHISPERS) Whack him.

Ow!

I knew it. That is a mean right
hand you've got there. Lethal.

You keep practicing,
when you turn 18,

I might have to
put you in uniform.

I like uniforms.

Look, I know you've heard some
pretty terrible things about me.

And I don't know how life
is out there with the Sixers,

but, Leah, take a look around.

People are happy here.

They're safe,
everybody's got a home.

And nobody gets scraps.

I don't like scraps.

We move all the time.
And I don't like that either.

Where do you move
to? Lots of places.

Mira never lets us stay in
the same place for very long.

TAYLOR: You know
how to read a map?

I like maps. My dad
taught me how to read them

before the slasher ate him.

TAYLOR: Yeah.

I'll tell you what.

Maybe after you get settled
in, you and I can sit down,

take a look at some of
the places you've stayed.

Maybe you can show
me where your camp is.

Deal?

Ow! (CHUCKLES)

All right. I'm gonna
leave you in good hands.

I need that list.

Mmm-hmm.

Come on.

Hey.

Hello, there.

You remember me? I remember you.

Little Leah Marcos.
Not so little anymore.

You know, I never
forget a name or a face.

But somewhere along
the line, I forgot my legs.

So, if you happen to see them
walking around without me,

could you tell them
I'm looking for 'em?

(CHUCKLES)

Hey.

Welcome back to Terra
Nova, Leah Marcos.

JIM: To Leah Marcos.

To coming home.

Cheers.

(LAUGHS)

Hey, maybe tomorrow we can put
a comb through your hair, you think?

Don't like combs.

(ALL LAUGHING)

Okay. You guys
should've seen Maddy

on her first day
in the infirmary.

She did a great job.

Yeah, well, all I really did was
reorganize your storage locker

and told you a patient's name.

ELISABETH: Well...
Now, to my oldest daughter,

the next doctor in
the Shannon family.

Hear, hear. Cheers.

TAYLOR: So, how's the
mole hunt going, Shannon?

Give me an update.

Okay. There was a
team outside the gates

doing some perimeter mine repair

from 0630 to about noon.

Michelle Toomey and Nhat Trang.

I know 'em both. Good,
solid citizens. Nothing there.

Okay. And Science Division had
somebody out following up on a field study.

Took the CSO's
rover, Robert Stanley.

Stanley? Did he go out alone?

Yeah.

Let's talk to him.

Why him?

He came in on the Sixth Pilgrimage,
but he didn't leave with Mira.

Only about half of 'em did.

We investigated
those who stayed,

but we couldn't find any
connection to the Sixers.

Maybe we missed
something with Stanley.

STANLEY: But I thought
we'd been over this.

Yeah, well, keep goin'
over it till I say otherwise.

I was completing my field
study on wax moss. This...

I don't care about
your field study.

Talk to me about the Sixers.

I don't know anything
about the Sixers!

Well, you made a radio
transmission at 1100 hours yesterday.

Who were you
contacting? The lab.

To let them know I was gonna
be late. TAYLOR: Uh-huh.

Hey, Commander.

What brings you out here?

Somebody tipped the
Sixers off about the girl.

(SCOFFS) And
you think it was Rob?

You can't be serious.

I thought I'd ask a
few questions, yes.

Now, do you have any
actual evidence against him,

enough to take him into custody?

You his lawyer now?

No, funny enough, we don't have
any of those around here, do we?

Tread carefully, Malcolm.

No, I don't think I will.
This is guilt by association.

So what if he came
over on the Sixth?

A lot of people did who
have nothing to do with Mira!

Like the Commander said, we're
just asking a few questions. Relax.

Yeah, and that's what
they said to my father,

at the Edinburgh Hearings of
2119. "Just asking questions."

That's how it starts, Jim.

Get off your high
horse, will you, Malcolm?

MALCOLM: You all right,
Rob? When did he get out here?

Don't be nervous.
It's just a small test

to see what grade
level you'll do best in.

And then Monday you can
start school. Sounds fun, right?

Don't worry. Jim will be by in a
couple of hours to pick you up.

Okay?

Thank you.

(CHILDREN GIGGLING)

Bye.

Aw.

She's so cute.

Remember your
first day at school?

You couldn't wait to
get there. (LAUGHS)

MADDY: Yeah, I loved
it. I'm not gonna lie.

ELISABETH: That's my gal.

Oh, I'll catch up with you.

Mr. Shannon.

Sir, uh, I was hoping to talk to
you about your daughter, Maddy.

What about her?

Uh, well, as you know, I've begun
the initial stages of courting Maddy.

And I was
wondering if I could...

Excuse me, Reynolds.

You are aware that I carry
a gun, have a quick temper

and tend to hold grudges, right?

ALICIA: Shannon.

We've had a break-in at
the McMillen place, Pod D 26.

Let's move.

So I've been at work all day.

Came home and found the
place broken into. And then this.

What was inside?

MCMILLEN: I don't know. I didn't
even know there was a hole there.

Could you give us a minute?

Yeah, sure.

Thanks.

We need to find out who
lived here before the McMillens.

See if they know anything about
what was buried under the floor.

That's shouldn't be tough. Why?

This used to be
Mira's old place.

We need to find Leah right now.

(PANTING)

Hey.

What's going on here, kiddo?

What did you take from
that couple's house?

Leah?

Leah! Stop!

It's okay. It's okay.

Give me the bag.

There's nowhere to run.

JIM: No doubt
about it, Commander.

Mira sent her to
infiltrate Terra Nova.

She's been lying
to us the whole time.

It was theater, more or less.

Mira played me. She
knew I'd let the kid in.

Knew I'd believe her story.

Knew I wouldn't send her away.

Especially if the Sixers made
a show of trying to get her back.

She's a perfect spy.

Young enough to be sympathetic
but old enough to be capable.

First chance she got,
she broke into that house,

grabbed this container,

whatever thing this is.

Does it open?

Sealed shut. No visible seams.

Sounds like it's hollow.

Ask her how to open it.

She might not know.

TAYLOR: And might not
tell us, even if she does know.

Bring her in.

Come on.

JIM: Have a seat, kiddo.

(SOFTLY) Hey.

I'm not gonna ask you
why you did what you did.

But the Commander
and I have a job to do.

I need you to answer a few
questions. We need you to be honest.

You understand?

TAYLOR: Young lady,

look at me.

You know what this is?

ALICIA: Is it a weapon?

Leah.

No more lies now,
okay? What's in there?

Why does Mira want it?

I don't know.

Mira didn't say.

She just told me
to get it, so I did.

Leah, why?

Why all the lies?

Because Mira's got my brother.

And she said she
was gonna hurt him

if I didn't steal back that box.

I'm telling the truth.

Take her to Pod Zero.

Please!

I have to bring that box back
to Mira or she'll hurt my brother.

She'll hurt Sam.

Please!

I'm gonna detain her until we
figure out exactly what's goin' on here.

It's fascinating.

Oh.

Maddy.

Maddy, come and
take a look at this.

That's okay. I'm good over here.

Well, you can't learn anything
from over there. Come and look.

It's a vesiculopustular lesion.

Very common in
warm, humid climates.

No.

(GAGS)

WOMAN: Oh, hey.
NURSE: Excuse us.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Something on your mind?

What if she's telling the
truth about her brother?

I mean, we should send a few
people to check it out, just in case.

I'm not going to expend
colony resources on a hunch.

Mira might have
planned this, too.

You'd be walking
right into an ambush.

But if there's a kid out
there that's being hurt?

If. If I had some proof,
that'd be one thing.

I got the word of a little girl,

who managed to deceive me and
every damn person in this colony.

I know that. But, Commander...

The answer is
no. That's an order.

Let it go.

You got a wife, kids.

Go home.

You think Mira would
really hurt her little brother?

There's no way to know if she's
telling the truth about anything now.

I'm gonna go for a walk.

(DOOR OPENS)

Not such a great day
in the infirmary today.

Oh. (DOOR CLOSES)

Did the overachiever just
kind of sort of achieve?

Instead of open heart surgery she
could only do an appendectomy?

Josh? Hmm?

Stop talking.

At least I get my room back.

Hey. Don't beat yourself up.

Leah let us down.

You did everything
right. I know.

I just thought I was a better
judge of character, you know?

Well, I thought I was, too.

I don't like people taking
advantage of my family.

(DOOR OPENS) JOSH: Mom, Dad!

Look what Leah left.

"I'm sorry, I had to."

So she wasn't lying
about her brother?

Which means he
really is in danger.

MARK: Maddy?

Hey. Hey.

Are you doing
anything right now?

Yeah, I'm just picking
up a few things.

Uh...

I wanted to talk to
you about something.

I...

Thank you.

I wanna declare my intentions
for you, Maddy Shannon.

You wanna do what to me?

To court you.

Court, you mean like date?

Yes.

Why didn't you just say that?

Because that's
not how it's done.

According to the Commander, I
have to address you in a certain way.

And then speak with your father.

And then call at your house.

And then have the honor of escorting
you to a planned activity or event

outside the home
that might please you.

People used to do it this way.

Well, technically, they will
do it that way in the future.

But then again, they'll
also wear corsets.

So,

may I have the honor?

Yes.

Yes, you may.

Awesome.

Yeah? Yeah.

'Cause I was just
having the worst day ever.

Well, tell me about it.

Well, where should I start?

The part where I almost puked
on a patient in front of my mother?

Or the part where Leah just...

Start at the beginning.

I have time. (LAUGHS)

(TWIGS SNAP)

(LEAVES RUSTLING)

(GRUNTS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Crap.

(SCREECHING)

(SCREECHING)

(PANTING)

(MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

MIRA: You're the new cop.

JIM: Where am I?

Did Taylor send you? (GROANS)

I came for Leah's brother.

She said you were
gonna hurt him.

And you believed her?

She only lied when she had to.

The boy was never in danger.

I just needed to motivate her

to get her to do what
I knew she could.

What's in the box
that's so important?

(GROANING)

(BREATHES HEAVILY)

Right up here in
the canopy, huh?

No wonder Taylor can't find you.

I hear he's taken
quite a shine to you.

I have to say, I'm surprised,

considering the way
you snuck into his colony.

You sure know a lot about what
goes on inside of Terra Nova.

Almost makes me think...

Ooh, I don't know.

You got yourself a
spy or something.

Maybe I'm psychic.

Maybe. Or maybe you should've
had your spy get the box for you,

instead of
sending a little girl!

Or did you not wanna
risk exposing whoever it is?

I can see why Taylor
values you so much.

Ah.

Yeah. Well, that's 'cause
I got to save his life once.

It was thanks to you,
as a matter of fact.

You know, in a
way, I'm glad you did.

If Carter would've killed him, that
would've made a murderer of him,

which would only
make my job harder.

And what is your job?

Taylor's pissed off some very
powerful people back in 2149.

They want him gone.

Gone?

If it wasn't for Taylor, Terra Nova
wouldn't have lasted as long as it has.

If the colony survives,
everybody... Oh, come on, Shannon,

don't tell me you believe
in all that starting over crap.

It's not what Terra Nova's
about. Not now. Not ever.

Then what's Terra
Nova really about?

You'll see.

But you don't wanna be on the
wrong side of history, Shannon.

Be smart.

Do what's right for your family,

'cause sooner or later,

we're gonna take Taylor down.

Why? What does it get you?

It gets me my family.

I have a daughter,

back in 2149.

Sienna.

She was four when I left.

I do my job,

they make sure I
get to see her again.

Who's they?

You're free to go.

Wait.

Leah!

Sam!

It's gonna be okay.

(SOFTLY) It's gonna be okay.

TAYLOR: I ought
to run you out of town

for disobeying an
order, Shannon.

Yeah, but what the hell.

You reunited a family.

Terra Nova just
officially grew by two.

How'd you make it out
of there with the boy?

Mira let us go.

Well, that doesn't
sound like Mira.

Doesn't sound like her at all.

I think she was trying
to prove something.

Like maybe the
Sixers aren't so bad.

Were you convinced?

I might've been. If they
hadn't busted up my ribs.

Did she say anything
I should know about?

Well, she's not a fan of yours.

I meant something
I don't already know.

I sure as hell would like
to know what's in that box

she sent the kid here to steal.

No luck getting it open, huh?

Go get yourself bandaged up.
Let your wife know you ain't dead.

Ooh, if I had a terra for every time
I've had to put you back together...

You're making me sound
like Humpty Dumpty.

I married a doctor for a reason.

(SOFTLY) Hey.

You did good. Hmm.

Ow.

Sorry. Sorry.

You know, Leah's gonna
be all right because of you.

Well, there's a lady
from the Third Pilgrimage

who's interested in
taking Leah on long-term.

Lost her husband
a few years back.

Well, hopefully
there's room for two.

Hmm.

Hey, where's Maddy?

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Well, to save her
nerves and her stomach,

I've released her from
her apprenticeship.

Oh.

Yeah. I don't think the
reality of being a doctor

quite lived up to
her romance of it.

Hmm.

More blood and
guts in the real world.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Sorry to say, I haven't
got the foggiest idea

how to get it open.
Tried everything.

Well, keep trying.

Mira went a long way to get
whatever is inside the damn thing.

Sooner or later, she'll
make another play.

Keep it safe. Hmm.

ALICIA: Hey. ELISABETH: Hi.

Someone wants to talk with you.

You know what I heard?

I heard the lady that
you're gonna be staying with

is super nice.

So use your...

(SIGHS)

Thank you.
