Touch (2012–2013): Season 2, Episode 8 - Reunions - full transcript

I've never been to this
part of the country before.

MARTIN: Previously on Touch...
What brought you out here?

Looking for my daughter.

My son, Jake, he led me to you

to try and help you
find your daughter.

Amelia! [Amelia screams]

No!

Amelia!

CALVIN: I can't do it.

My heart is not in it anymore.

I don't need your
heart, just your brain.



That's where the money is.

You've never been
on my side, Tony.

Tony Rigby was my best friend.

He took my departure
from Aster Corps personally.

Guess what I'm doing? Watching a
certain curly-haired kid and his dad.

Why are you following me?

You're crazy, man. Aah!

Who are you working for?

I'm making progress, Will.

I'm getting closer.

I did it for my brother.

I don't care about your brother.

Where is my daughter?

Amelia's gone. She was here.



I know she was. Where is
she?! Calvin, where is she?

Where did you see my son?
Come on, Phillip, stay with me.

I know who did it,
and he's after Jake.

The blackest day,

the day you were born.

Run, Jake!

[groaning]

It's your moment, Jake.

Are you ready?

[panting]

JAKE: Bodies at
rest stay at rest,

and bodies in motion

stay in motion,

unless acted on
by an outside force.

[panting continues]

What exactly was
the plan here, huh?

You realize you would have
had to run another day and a half

to reach civilization?

[whispering]: Let's go.

[engine starting]

JAKE: People,

like objects,

become set in their paths,

embedded in a
constrained reality.

As we travel our path,

the possible futures,

which were once infinite,

collapse down to one.

One outcome,

unchangeable,

inescapable.

Are you okay?

Fine.

You said you could handle her.

Now, where are the
results you promised?

Where is this
transformative data?

Look, the place hasn't
been used in a decade.

The power grid is a joke.

I blow a fuse every
time I charge my phone.

RIGBY: If this program is
exposed, we could all go to jail.

We have to stay off the radar.

This is the safest
place right now.

Eventually this will
be a state of the art...

What did they do to you?

The new generator is on its way.

In the meantime, I need results

to take to my boss.

If you can't deliver that,

you're of no use to me.

You must have known

you weren't gonna make it.

What were you thinking?

Look,

this is not like
working with Calvin.

These people will hurt you.

You don't care about me.

You're just trying to
make enough money

so you can pay back your bookie.

I was desperate, and I made
a deal with the wrong people,

but pissing them off
isn't gonna help anyone.

The only way
that we survive this

is by proving our value, okay?

I'm hungry.

I'll get you some breakfast.

[lock clicks]

JAKE: We're each on a path,

and sometimes

those paths become entwined,

pulled into each other's orbits,

and collide.

Please!

Save me!

["Save me!" echoing]

Hey, buddy, everything's
gonna be all right,

okay?

[sighs]

Martin,

I'm so glad you're here.

Looks like we may
have a problem. What?

Well, I just checked in on Phil,

the guy you saved
in the basement.

He's so grateful
for everything that

you did for him, he's
given a full statement

to the police that
contradicts everything I said.

He told them about me.

He gave them yours
and Lucy's full names.

What about Jake?

No, he didn't get that far.

He was pretty out of it,
but look, it gets worse.

There was a detective in there,

clearly a high-ranking guy.

He had access to my database.

Obviously knows more
about us than we do about him.

Fine, then Jake
and I will disappear.

No, just stay at home. I need
to know where to find you.

Here's the cop's card.

Ring any bells?

Denny Lange.

I've never heard of him.

Okay, well, just do me a favor.

Hang on to the card, lay low.

I'll be in touch.

Trevor?

Thank you.

Hi, you.

Hey.

Hi.

How you feeling?

Better.

I could sleep for three
days, but besides that...

How's he?

Not good.

"0175."

So he said this detective has
no idea where to find us, right?

He doesn't have an
address or anything? Not yet,

but we need to keep it that way.

Well, I told him I
was staying in a hotel

and I fell through
a glass table.

I hope that worked.

A glass table? Yeah.

[chuckles]

Pretty good.

0175.

What?

0175, Jake wrote that down

on the window when we
were leaving the hospital.

Hold on.

I just want to follow him

and see where he goes.

He's turning left.

Jake, stay in the car.

"Rigby."

I think this is Tony
Rigby's house.

Excuse me, I have a
delivery for Mr. Rigby.

What is Calvin doing here?

I thought Calvin and
Rigby hated each other.

So did I.

Remember me?

Oh, what are you doing here?

I told you to stay away from me.

You also told me that you
weren't working with Tony Rigby.

What are you doing here?

Tony Rigby murdered my
mother, and he took Amelia.

I would never work
with Tony Rigby.

Where is he?

I don't know.

That's why I'm here.

He disappeared.
I'm looking for him.

He's with Amelia and
you're gonna help us find her.

I told you, I don't
know where she is.

Don't forget

I got your files on a hard
drive full of information

waiting to be handed
over to the police.

Now where would Aster
Corps try to hide Amelia?

Where would they try

and hide her?!

Somewhere isolated.

Somewhere they can control.

The problem is
they have 83 facilities

in seven different countries
that match that description.

There is a high-level
Aster Corps directory.

Where would I
find that directory?

[sighs]

In my loft.

Good. I'll drive with
you and Lucy will follow.

The day my mother was
killed and Amelia was taken,

Kase, my assistant,
he never showed up.

Somebody had to have given
Rigby access to the front door.

I've been trying to
reach Kase, but no luck.

Yeah, well, everybody's
got their price.

Kase knows how I think.

He knows my work.

He'll have a new lab up
and running in no time.

Yeah, but to what end?

I mean, I understand
why you would do it,

but why would Aster
Corps want Amelia?

Knowledge is the new
currency. Aster Corps wants

to harness Amelia's
incredible predictive abilities.

I mean, if they can map
her neural pathways,

they'll be able to
predict the movements

of their stock, foresee the
outcomes of elections, you name it.

So it's all about money?
They abducted a child

to increase their
profit margins.

Is that it? They don't
see her as a child.

They see her as
a means to an end.

Where's Jake?

Jake?

Jake?!

Oh, my God. Jake!

Jake, what have you done?

Stop! You can't just rip
him out! It's too dangerous!

Shut it down. You can hurt him.

Shut it down! I
know it looks scary...

You get him out of there, or
so help me God, I'll kill you.

Now!

I'm telling you it's a mistake.

Before Amelia started
working with Teller,

she was trapped
inside her own mind.

Maybe Jake knows
this can help him.

Oh, my God.

What? What is it?

What do you see?
These waves here.

Wernicke's and Broca's,
they're beginning to oscillate.

Is that bad? No,
it's just the opposite.

What does it mean?

His speech center.

It's getting ready to fire.

What are you talking
about? He doesn't speak.

I found you.

Where are we?

I don't know.

Ever since I was born,

I had this locked
door in my mind.

And then, one day, when I
was working with Calvin...

I mean, uh...

it just opened.

After that, I could come
here whenever I wanted.

I could hear you, but
I couldn't get through.

What changed?

You see this pattern here?

It indicates both
sending and receiving.

MARTIN: What does that mean?

What does that mean?!

He's having a conversation.

With who?

Amelia.

Jake, if you're
talking to Amelia,

tell her I love her, okay?

Tell her I love her.

Your mom's here.

She wants you to
know that she loves you.

I know.

I can, I can feel her.

Tell her, tell her that
we're coming for her.

We're coming for you.

I knew she didn't give me up.

Ask her where
she is, if there's...

an address, a landmark?

We're in the desert.

There's a water tower,
and the building's old.

I think they used it
for other experiments.

There's a sign.

It says "Teller Institute,
established 1997."

Jake!

Come on, buddy, please.

The conversation's
over. He's coming out.

Jake? J... [sighs]

What's he writing?

"1997." Maybe the year?

1188. I know that number.

Part of an address, maybe.

There are no Aster
Corps facilities

with 1188 in the address.

1188. It was the
address to Teller's loft.

The one he shared with
Avram in New York City.

So, what, they
took her back there?

No, no, no, Avram
would have called me.

But obviously this has
something to do with Teller.

There was something
in Teller's files.

By the time I met him, he was
already established in New York.

But before that, there was
another lab, years earlier.

Here.

In Apple Valley.

He started working
there in 1997.

I always thought
the Teller Institute

was just his house in the Bronx.

That's what it became after
Aster Corps discredited him.

So they took Amelia
back to where it began.

Here's the location.

About two hours
southeast of here.

In the middle of
nowhere it looks like.

They'll be able to see
you coming for miles.

You'll have to
approach very carefully.

Us? What about you? I
thought you wanted revenge.

I need to focus on
saving my brother.

He's all I have left.

Thanks to Jake, I think I have
the final piece of the puzzle.

Forward the map to my phone.

Come on, buddy. Let's go.

I hope you find her.

I shouldn't even have
to be looking for her.

I figured it out, Will.
I know what to do.

The kid... Jake...

his brain was... amazing.

I never knew where the
right pathway was until today.

Mr. Norburg, I
thought that was you.

Do you need anything?

Coffee. Lots of coffee.

Okay. Maybe I'll
just call Dr. Whitman.

Yeah, go ahead. Call
whoever you'd like.

You know what they're gonna say?

"Yes, Mr. Norburg, whatever
you want, Mr. Norburg.

Thank you for your generous
donations, Mr. Norburg."

You work here?

How old are you?
17. I volunteer.

I want to be a neurosurgeon
when I grow up,

so I got permission to...

I'm sorry. You don't care.

Look, I know this

probably looks kind
of strange, but I know

what I'm doing.
There's an implant in

my brother's brain
right here, you see?

Like they do for
Parkinson's patients.

Very good.

It fires electrical impulses,

rerouting the synaptic pathways.

My hope is that I can redirect

all of his brain functions
around the damaged areas.

So he'll be able
to talk and move.

Exactly.

It'll be like the accident
never happened.

Okay, it looks like we got

about ten more
miles on this road.

Hey... what's that?

Open it.

Yeah?

It was my mother's.
She left it to Amelia.

You look happy.

Well, I wasn't always a
deranged conspiracy theorist

living out of my car.

What did you do before?

You know, it's funny.

After everything that
we've been through,

I don't know the
first thing about you.

Well, I guess we know
the important stuff, right?

But if you must know,
I was in advertising.

[chuckles] I wouldn't
have guessed that.

There wasn't a client

in the world I couldn't
land, believe me.

Yeah, I bet.

'Cause you were
the most determined.

No, no, no, no,
no. Please! What?

The engine's boiling over.

I hate this car.

The pathway's still open.

We're getting there.

Motor test.

Again.

Flexion to pain.

Localized response.

That's a five on the GCS.

He-He's never been
more than a two.

Okay.

Moving on to the brain
stem. This is the home stretch.

Rapid eye movement, both eyes.

He's looking at
me. It's working.

William?

He can hear me.

What... happened?

The garage is closed
for the weekend.

How's she doing?

Not good. It's gonna take

at least an hour to cool down.

We don't have an hour. I know.

[vehicle approaches]
Hey. Hey! Hey!

MAN: Having some trouble?

Engine overheated.

I could take you

to the next town. They
probably have a mechanic.

We don't have time for that.

Actually, we're
trying to get here.

Is there any chance
you could give us a ride?

That's 20 miles off the highway.

It'd probably put me
way behind schedule.

Hold on.

I got 200 bucks.

Yeah, I can do that. Hop in.

Thanks. I'll get Jake. Got it.

Watch your step.
Thanks so much, sir.

Okay. Careful.

Hey, buddy, come
on. Why don't we

we put that back? It's
not ours. I don't mind.

He's just like my kid,
curious about everything.

She, uh, helps out at a hospital

near where we live.

Wants to be a doctor.

She's beautiful.

When I was her age, I
wanted to be a beach bum.

Yeah, Evie practically
grew up in a hospital.

Mom had cancer.

She passed last year.

I'm sorry.

So many memories in that house.

I miss Evie so bad, but
every time I'm home...

Well, there's some times I
feel like I'm abandoning my kid

by being away so often.

I'm so sorry.

I know what you mean.

I haven't seen my
daughter for three years,

and if I had a
choice in the matter...

I know, it's just...

It's been so long.

What if she won't talk to me?

Then you keep trying
until she does, I guess.

WOMAN'S VOICE [over G.P.S.]:
You have arrived at your destination.

Oh, it snuck up on me.

Here we are.

Wherever here is.

Look, I don't feel right

leaving you guys out here.

No, we'll be fine.

Look, thank you
very much for the ride.

I wish you the best
with your daughter.

Thank you. MARTIN:
Come on, Jake.

Let's go.

This is the address.

Where is it?

Jake!

Come on.

She's in there?

Yeah, with at least a
dozen armed guards.

Calvin was right.

They'll see us
coming a half an hour

before we even get there.

If we spook them,

they'll just take her and run.

Okay.

So maybe we wait till nightfall.

[screaming] Jake. Jake.

MARTIN: Jake, no, no.

No. [gasping]

No, Jake, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Martin, they're
getting the Jeep.

They're gonna be here
any minute; we got to go.

We got to run. We
can't outrun a Jeep.

They're gonna keep
searching till they find someone.

Wait...

that's it.

That's what Jake wants;
He wants them to find me.

That's my way in.

You stay hidden.

You make sure that Jake's safe.

Hey, it's okay, buddy.

Help!

Let's get him. Help!

Thank God. I've been
wandering around for hours.

Sir, you're on private
property. I know.

I'm sorry, my car broke
down a few miles back.

I got turned around.

Why don't you get inside?

Thanks.

Yeah.

[sighs]

All right, let's go.

All I need is a phone, okay?

I can call a friend;
they'll come pick me up.

Whatever you guys
are doing out here,

I promise I won't say a word.

Get inside.

You can't be serious. Now.

Fine.

I don't want a problem.

I just want to get out of here.

[lock clicks]

Can I at least get some water?

Hey, please, can
I get some water?

I haven't don't anything wrong.

My car broke down!

You can't hold me like this!

How did you find us?

You.

I thought you worked for Calvin.

Sort of.

Mostly I worked for his mother,

t-taking care of Amelia.

Where is she? I can't tell you.

They'll know that I helped
you, and they'll kill me.

You'll tell me where
she is right now.

Please, you don't know what
these people are capable of.

Right now, you have no
idea what I'm capable of.

Now, where is she?

She's locked in a room on
the other side of the building.

Give me the keys.

Show me.

[monitors, machines beeping]

I'm so sorry.

Mom loved you
more than anything.

She was here every day,

making sure you
were comfortable.

I remember her... aria.

Her voice?

She read to you.

Yeah.

Right, her voice.

Words still jumbled.

Yeah, a certain
amount of aphasia,

it's normal, you know.

You'll get over it with time.

Just be patient with yourself.

What...

what was that
game that she hated?

The one with the apples?

With the pillows?

Yeah.

Y-You would make a big
mountain out of cushions

and then you would
climb to the top,

and then you'd push it
all over like an avalanche.

And you would come and save me.

Do you remember
anything about the accident?

Yeah.

It was...

a storm,

and I was supposed

to go on a railing?

No, a...

A flight.

Yeah, you were going back
to school in Connecticut.

I had promised
that I would get you

to the airport on time.

The rain was coming
down really hard,

and we were listening

to the oldies
station on the radio.

And then you took a turn.

And...

William...

I can't tell you how sorry
I am about the accident.

It was my fault.

You trusted me, and I...

And you're still

moving mountains to save me.

Come on, before the
guard comes back.

Stay with me.

I got to get you somewhere safe.

Come on.

We have to find some keys.

Here.

6908.

[horn chirps] Got it.

Jake?

Jake!

Good idea.

They can't catch
you if they can't drive.

Let's go.

Hey, it's okay. We're gonna
get your dad, but we need...

Wait up.

Her room's just
around the corner.

Hold on, wait, wait.

Don't you move.

Go.

I know I locked it.

Well, I didn't let him out.

Kase.

Where are they?

[lock clicking]

Amelia.

Don't be frightened.

My name is Martin Bohm.

I'm a friend of your mother's.

I know who you are.

You're Jake's dad.

We have to go.

We don't have much time.

I'll follow you.

Show me the girl's room.

She's gone.

Where are they now?

I don't know, sir. I'm trying,

but every... Just find them.

We're never gonna make it.

Shut up.

[door opening] Hold up.

I'll check down this
way. Come here.

Get back here.

Is there another
way out of here?

There's seven possible exits,
but no matter where we go,

they'll see where we're
going and cut us off.

They have eyes everywhere.

So we're gonna
have to blind them.

Show me how.

[man chatters]

MAN [over radio]: I repeat, Corridor
11. Check there, get back to me.

The circuits are ancient.

We can overload the system.

Here, you're gonna need this.

We'll turn the lights on last

so no one will know
where we are. Okay.

The servers.

You can power them up
from that computer over there.

All right.

They're not in the south wing.

Circle around east.

[beeping]

[mechanical humming]

They're up.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

That's Martin Bishop.

What was that?

Somebody get the power back on!

Immediately!

We need to get back
to your mom and Jake.

They're not where you left them.

I know where they are.

We're going to need a car.

Damn it. Come on.

[door opening] Get down.

GUARD: I'm in the garage.

We're heading out
now. They won't get far.

Get to the back now.

Hey, someone's been in
here. The keys are gone.

What do you mean,
the keys are gone?

They're gone. They're not there.

Come on. [engine starts]

GUARD: Hey!

GUARD: Stop! Stop!

AMELIA: Stop here.

I don't see anything.

Amelia, wait! Amelia,
get back in the car!

Mom?

Mom...

Amelia? Mom?

Amelia?

Amelia! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

My baby! My baby!

I'm so sorry, I
tried to find you.

My baby. Oh, my...

MARTIN: Lucy!

Lucy, we gotta go now! Okay.

Jake, get in the car!

[phone ringing] Three
of the teams radioed in.

There's no sign of them.

Keep looking.

[ringing continues]

Ms. Farington.

You lost her.

Yep, that's right.
The girl's gone.

But we found her once.

I'm sending Tanner.

No, that is really
not necessary.

I'm still in complete
control of the operation.

We're taking a
team out right now.

We're gonna find her.

You leave me no choice.
He'll be there in 20.

That should do it.

Thanks.

Well, now that we've
got Amelia back,

we've got all the
evidence we need.

The cops can't ignore us.

Just gotta find the right cops.

So let's do it. What
do you want me to do?

[chuckles]

[sighs]

I want you to disappear.

Why? Lucy,

Guillermo Ortiz
is still out there.

It's dangerous.

It's gonna take some time.

Aster Corps is gonna use that
time and all of their resources

to try and find you
and your daughter.

You need to go somewhere
that you've never been before.

Look, we could never imagine

what your daughter's
been through.

Disappear... somewhere safe.

Spend some time with her.

Okay.

[chuckles]

So...

this is good-bye for real.

No.

I'll see you soon enough.

[chuckles]

You take care, Lucy. I will.

You kept it. Thank you.

Give this to your dad.

He'll know what to do.

Hey, guys. I'm sorry

to interrupt, but,
Jake, we gotta go.

Amelia, it's a real
pleasure to finally meet you.

Come on, buddy.

Bye, you.

I'll see you soon.

Jake, we gotta go.

Oh...

Lucy...

we'll see you soon. Bye.

Let's go.

Mr. Norburg.

Will?

Will?

Oh, no!

The old pathways must
have been too strong.

He regressed!

Why didn't you wake me up?!

I-I didn't know
what to... Get out!

[tapping keys]

[panting]

Will!

JAKE: We each have a path.

Some are forced apart,
but flow back together,

their synchronicity inescapable.

Evie, honey?

JAKE: Some paths touch
only briefly, and glance off

in different directions, forever
changed by the meeting.

Some loop back again and
again, across time and space...

Hey. Mom...

always finding each other.

You're gonna have
to get used to it, kid.

I'm gonna be hugging
you and kissing you

and staring at you
while you sleep.

I'll be honest, it's
gonna be a little creepy.

[chuckles]

You're so beautiful.

Oh, Mom.

[gasps]

Oh, my God.

Aster Corps.

JAKE: Once we're on our path,

there are limited
chances to deviate,

small moments when some
other force comes into play,

and knocks you
off your trajectory.

Ms. Farington, we've
spotted Lucy Robbins' vehicle.

Is Amelia with her?

Unclear. How should we proceed?

We only need the girl.
The mother's a liability.

Get rid of her.

Make it clean.

It's okay, honey. I'm not
gonna let them take you.

I know.

This car's faster than
it looks. Don't worry.

We turn around, they follow,
they catch us in three minutes.

You saw that?

I see the paths,
the possibilities.

So we off-road, and
we'll lose 'em in the desert.

The axle breaks
down in .23 miles.

They catch us in six minutes.

Is there any path
where we escape?

[voice breaks]: No.

Hey...

Is there any path
where you escape?

Yeah. But not me.

No... I run, you block
them, and they...

Okay. It's okay, baby. Okay?

No, I won't leave you.

Here's what I need
you to do, babe.

I need you to go out to
the desert, I need you to run

as fast as you can, okay?
Whatever happens, wherever I am,

I promise I'll be
watching you, okay?

I love you. Okay, go!

Run.

Run as fast as you can, okay?

Run!

JAKE: What could
be powerful enough

to change your path,
change your future?

An act of nature.

An act of love.

Where's the girl?

What girl?

Look, I don't know
who the hell you are...

I'm her mother.

[panting]

[gunshot]

[wind whistling]

JAKE: Once this
deviation happens,

you find yourself on a new
path, uncharted, unknown...

and stretching out ahead of you.
