Zero Hour (2013): Season 1, Episode 12 - Ratchet - full transcript

Previously on "zero hour"...

What am i looking at?

A blueprint
for the son of god.

They didn't want the cross.

They wanted what was
inside of it.

The blood of christ.

Remember what happens

Right before
the end of the world?

Christ returns to earth.

There is to be
no negotiation,

Just death
and proof of death.



Hank and laila die today.

You'd fight for me?

If anybody came at you,
i'd cut 'em in half.

You do believe in god?

I believe that there are things
beyond our comprehension.

Is one of those things
a higher power?

I don't know.

I draw.
Helps me see things.

Things i don't want
to forget.

You really think
you can fix me?

Your eyes will be sensitive
for a while.

It didn't work.
Vision is a little bit off.

You didn't come here

To save me, did you,
laila?



Beck, they're getting away.

Come here, pretty one.

Don't shoot!
He's got a hostage!

11 is the number of birth,

The fruit of a mother's womb.

But the child
that comes forth

Shall bring impending doom.

I'm looking for n35ag.

Alpha... whatever "g" is.

Hey, will you go get
that printout, please?

Thank you. Hank!

We got nothing.
Wherever they went,

Wherever they took rachel,
they're in the wind now.

Yeah, well, they're
in a helicopter.

They couldn't have
gotten far.

No, they didn't.
That's the point.

We found the copter

Ditched at an airstrip
in maine.

An airstrip,
it turns out,

Where a gulfstream licensed
to the 41 trust was hangared.

A plane like that holds
5,000 miles worth of fuel.

They could be anywhere
by now.

Keep lookin'!

Mickle.

Why'd you let me
go to sleep?

You've been through
a lot.

Sometimes turning the brain
off for 20 minutes

Is the best thing
you can do.

Laila--She's, uh...

They told me.
I'm sorry.

Why does religion
do this to people?

It's not religion, it's man's
faulty interpretation of it.

We somehow think killing
in the name of god

Will give us what we want,

While forgetting
one of the first things he said.

"Thou shalt not kill."

What is this?

Oh, uh...
it's old habit.

Write down my dreams
so i don't forget 'em.

Vespers?

It's a name.
Some sort of explorer.

And... olive trees?

Does it matter?

Indulge me.

They were carrying them
in the snow.

Look, we shouldn't be
talking about this now.

We need to find rachel.

Right.

Arron? What about cell phones?

Vincent's and lynch--
Anything on them?

I've had this blindfold on for
long enough, don't you think?

Where are we?

Welcome to the holiest
of the holies.

Take her to the room
if you could.

Make sure she has a bed
with the others.

Gentlemen,
you are seeing something

Very few eyes ever have--

The monastery of st. John
of patmos,

A place long hidden
from the world.

Excuse me, ms. Lynch.

If i could have a moment?

As far as i know, uh,
i'm not necessary anymore.

I've given you
what you want.

We lost dr. Galliston
yesterday.

The man who was going to
spearhead the cloning work.

The good news is, he provided
a template for us.

For you.

Uh... um...

I'm not, um...

I'm not proficient
in that sort of...

But you do have
the necessary information now.

Step by step.

Have you forgotten
the reason you came on?

Your ambition to sequence
the blood of christ?

My thought was
i could publish--

In the "journal
of science, medicine."

Show the world
what we've done.

Oh, the world will know,
theo.

But first we've got to
finish what we've begun.

What is this?

You're to hand off
your weapons, mr. Vincent.

No, thank you.

This is a house of god.

It's a non-Negotiable point.

The lord said,
"love thy enemy."

He never said to trust him.

Where are you taking me?

Your questions
are annoying me.

Well, at least tell me
what country we're in.

Hey! Foreign number!

Hey, track it!

Hello?

Arron.
Rachel.

Oh, my god, are you--
Where--Where are you?

I don't know. Um,
i'm in some monastery somewhere.

Guys have accents. It sounds
like they're eastern european--

Arron!

Rachel!

Wh--

You get it?
Did you get it?!

Tell me you tracked that.
It looks like it was
a sat phone,

So we should be able
to iso it on gps.

Just...

What?

The location it's showing--

It's not on this earth.

™?

Okay, how about we go over
this one more time?

Now, the signal is telling you
what, exactly?

Your friend's call is not
geo-Locating

On the surface of this world.

Does that not say
"gulf of thailand"?

It says a hundred miles
beneath the gulf of thailand.

Hundred--
That's what i'm trying
to tell you.

I've never gotten a reading
like this before.

They're scrambling it.
So let's unscramble it.

I don't know how the hell
to do it, but i'll try.

Do you speak english?

I do.

Good. Can you
tell me where i am?

A waiting room.

I guess you'd call it
that, right?

A waiting room?

A good sort of waiting room.

A waiting room for what?

For heaven.

Have you seen mickle?

No, but i got something.

Gps uses four satellites
to locate an object, right?
Mm-Hmm.

Rachel's call gave us three
over tajikistan

And a fourth over
perth, australia.
That can't be right,

'Cause they're halfway across
the world from each other.

They must have re-Coded one
to act as a decoy,

Broadcast a false signal from
the other side of the world--

You skew the data.
I built a map

Based on where the three
known satellites overlap,

And the probabilities of
whether they overlap

Now, it's either east or west
of this area in tajikistan.

Oh. I'd say east.

Blacked-Out airspace.

Somebody very powerful

Does not want people
to look there.

It's a great group here.
From all over the world.

Like a noah's ark of girls.

How'd you end up here?

In my village, it hadn't
rained in almost a year.

Many people were dying.

The 41 trust came in--
With food, medicine.

Ms. Lynch was there
the day my mother passed.

She took me in,
brought me here--

Into this family.

She gave us all this
incredible place to live.

Clothing, school.

For orphans like us,

We never would have
had that otherwise.

Orphans.

You, too?

Yeah, but...

But what?

Do you guys always stay
in here?

Mostly, but it's not like
we can't do what we want.

Then why's the door locked
from the outside?

Yamin.

She's the first
to be chosen.

Chosen for what?

Oh. I can't believe it.

This...

Is the blood of christ.

A viable, living strain
of d.N.A.,

After 2,000 years of dormancy.

Resurrection, theo.

Life born from death.

Almost makes you want to be
a believer, doesn't it?

I don't know what to believe
anymore, but this...

This is incredible.

And per the template
dr. Galliston laid out,

It can be propagated?

Theoretically, yes.
Like dolly the sheep,

You'd remove
the genetic information

From an unfertilized egg,

Slide in the new d.N.A.,
put it in vitro...

And let natural birth occur.

Perhaps it's time
to get started.

Oh...

They have done something
to me, haven't they?

That's a lot
of blacked-Out airspace.

It's gotta be at least
200 square miles.

Area 51's only blacked out
for 20.

Impossible.
What is?

So i figured if we can't see
what's there digitally,

We'd go old school.

It's just a bunch
of wilderness.

You're missing something.

The satellite image has
two mountain ranges

On either side
of the blacked-Out space.

And on this map,
there is only one.

Looks like they pinched them
together on the map,

Made one range.

But on the satellite,
there are definitely two,

With a valley in between

Underneath
the blacked-Out space.

What the hell's
going on here?
Maybe the map's wrong.

Well, then this map
would have to be wrong.

And this one, too.

Look at that.
Three different maps.

Three different cartographers
over hundreds of years,

And all of them
omit the valley.

You know what you're
saying, don't you?
Conspiracy.

Big one. Huge.

We're talking about hiding
a chunk of land

The size of rhode island.
It can't be done.

It's already been done.

The question is,
what are they hiding?

Hail mary, full of grace,
the lord is with thee.

Blessed art thou
amongst women,

And blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, jesus.

Fruit of thy womb.

The burmese girl--

There's been
a complication.

What's going on?

I don't know. I...

It was standard in vitro
procedure.

We implanted the egg,
everything was fine,

Then she goes into
cardiac arrest.

We need to hold off until
we know what we're dealing with.

We know what we're
dealing with.

We don't.

We just tried to put
2,000-Year-Old d.N.A.

Into a woman's body, and that
woman's body rejected it.

Or did the d.N.A.
Reject her?

This isn't just some
40-Year-Old soccer mom

Trying to get pregnant.

We're talking about
the son of god.

Why do you think mary
was chosen?

Because she had
the right d.N.A.?

It was because the purity
in her heart was unsurpassed.

That's the type of host
we need to be looking for.

What are you doing?

I'm looking for a way out.

Everyone is homesick
at first...

But you'll learn.

There's nothing
but love here.

Yeah? Is that why they
keep us locked in here,

To keep all the love
from getting out?

They'd like to see you
up in the chapel, alima.

Don't go with him.

You're wrong about
this place, rachel.

It couldn't have been
an oversight, right?

The mapmakers would have to know
that a valley was there.

Maybe not. Little-Known
thing about cartography--

Lots of plagiarism.

Ever hear of "trap streets"?

It's a little trick
where a mapmaker

Would create a street
that doesn't exist, a trap.

And if that street shows up
on a later map,

They know that that map
copied theirs.

So people would just blindly
copy the mapmaker before them?

With whatever new
that's been discovered,

But, yeah, for a long time,
that's exactly how it was.

So if there was a conspiracy
to hide the valley,

I mean,
it couldn't take much.

If the area's remote
enough,

Few people go back
and re-Map it.

That is, until satellites
started doing the work for them.

Technology changes,
and they're still hiding it.

It's positively thrilling,
hank.

And frightening.
Mm.

I've got a couple of other maps
i want to run against this.

Be back in a minute.

Get that look off
your face, okay?

We're gonna go there

And we're gonna bring
rachel home.

We keep asking
where they took her,

But we haven't asked why.

I mean, they already got
what they wanted from you,

So...

Mickle, what are you
doing here?

I brought some people
to see you.

What the hell is going on?

It's not what you think,
hank.

They can help.

How?
I told them
what you saw.

The olive trees,
vespers.

Mateus vespers,
to be precise.

A man we've been looking for
for 500 years.

I'm not dealing
with these people.

They tried to kill me.

Hank,
you're the rationalist.

If we wanted you dead
at this moment, you would be.

The fact is, your life
and death mean nothing now.

The pyrates have taken
what they wanted.

They have the blood of christ.

And only you...

Seem to know
where they've taken it.

It was a dream.

No, hank.

It was a vision.

You saw into the past.

1452--

There was a schism
in the church

Over chapter 7 of revelations,

Where it is written
that 144,000 people

Will be saved
when the end of days comes.

Who are the 144,000?

If you ask the pyrates,

Only the descendants
of the 12 tribes of israel.

Holy bloodlines,
noblemen, clergy,

Captains of industry
and commerce--The powerful.

But the church disagreed,

Saying salvation
was for all christians.

So the pyrates broke
with the church,

Went to the mount of olives
in the dead of night

And stole branches
from the sacred trees.

Why?
Scripture says

The apocalypse will begin
not at the mount of olives

In jerusalem,

But instead
a new mount of olives

In a new jerusalem.

So... the pyrates
decided to just make one?

Give the apocalypse
a little nudge?

The shepherds have been
looking for this new jerusalem

For 500 years.

And somehow...

You saw it, hank.

I didn't see anything.

After all you've
witnessed...

Why do you find it hard
to believe

That maybe god
visited you?!

That maybe he

Put those images
in your head?

Because if i were him,

I wouldn't choose
hank galliston.

Saul was a nonbeliever, too,

Until the lord
showed him a vision

On the road to damascus.

Saul was a saint.

I am an editor
of a magazine.

With a missing staff writer
who i desperately want back.

What we want
is in the same place.

Do you think this is
where they've gone?

This new jerusalem?

The pyrates have waited
five centuries

For this moment.

It's the only place
they'd go.

What did you see, hank?
Where are they?

They turn on me,
it's on you, mickle.

I only agreed to do this
because of you.

Trust me,
where we're going,

You're gonna want
every one of them.

This pilot says he can
get us to the interior.

In this thing?

It's tajikistan.
Take what you can get.

Beck, you ready?

I'm trying to decide if i'm
hoping he's there or not.

Something good has to come out
of all of this for someone.

Maybe it's you.

Yeah.

It's been two hours since
the fertilization procedure.

She's stable.
Resting comfortably.

Her body--It's accepted
the d.N.A.?

It would appear so.

Not again.

Blood pressure's dropping.

I've never seen it fall
this fast. It--

It's like the life
is being drained out of her.

Son of a bitch!

E.E.G.'S flatlining.

Will someone tell me
what is happening to her?

All nerve activity
in her head...

Just stopped.

He says
there's nothing out here,

No military installations,
nothing that would warrant

Any kind of blackout.

He says the terrain's so bad,

Not even tajiks come this far.

What is it, hank?

The three mountains--
It's what i saw in my dream.

What the hell is happening
to me?

I can't do this anymore.

You say that like you have
a choice, dr. Riley.

This doesn't trouble you?

Having blood on your hands
like this?

Blood on my hands?

Have you forgotten what
we're trying to achieve here?

We're talking about deliverance
into the kingdom of heaven.

Every one of us
is going to die.

You're out of your mind.

Say that again.

We have an array
of young women

Still available to us,

All with different
genetic makeup.

We just haven't found
the right optimum host.

So why don't you find us one?

Rachel.

I understand.

She goes back.

I understand
there was a development.

Turns out we didn't need
another.
What do you mean?

She stabilized--
Blood pressure, e.E.G.

Everything suddenly
went back to normal,

Like someone rebooted
her system.

And the fertilization?

Still viable.

Then she carries
the child.

Navigation's down, he's saying.
Comms, too!

He's dumping his fuel!

He's telling everyone to brace!
We're going down!

What the hell happened?

He says it just died.

He's never seen anything
like it before.

All systems at once.

We lost two.

Tried calling out,
but no signal.

Something's happening.

What did they do to you?

I'm still trying
to understand...

Why you let her go.

I mean, the amount of tests
we still need to run...

Let her rest.

She's served her purpose.

They were always
just going to be

The first round
of experiments.

You must have known that.

They have the bodies

For pregnancy, certainly,

But the wisdom,
the spiritual certitude

To follow this through?

They're hardly more
than girls.

She served her purpose.

She proved it could be done.

Now it's time
for the real work to begin.

With the one that'll
actually bear the child.

Then who?

Oh, theo...

Don't you know?

If i asked you for help,

Would you give it to me?

You have great trust in you.

Why is that?

That's the way she raised you,

Isn't it?

So you would never question.

We're outsiders here.

Captive behind locked doors.

If i didn't want to be here,

Would you help me to leave?

All right.

My gun--Do you know
where it is?

Would you get it for me?

What are they saying?

That it's impossible--
Fire burning on snow.

The lake of fire
from revelations.

It's a sign the end
has begun.

It's just jet fuel
that the pilot dumped.

Somehow it ignited.

It's amazing that a man
with such sight

Cannot see what's
right before him.

They're gone! They're gone!

What happened?!

What happened?!

The other four are gone!
Go back! Go back!

Go easy, go easy!
Go easy!

What are you talking about?

Tell us!

He's coming!

Who's coming?

It comes, it comes,
it comes...

It comes, it comes, it comes,

It comes.
Complete psychic break.
He can't tell us anything.

He just keeps saying
the same thing

Over and over and over.
The others are gone.

No sign.

The moon--
The moon is under her feet.

That's why--
That's why it comes.

That's why it comes.

The beast--
It comes for her.
For who?

For... the woman, the woman.
For the woman,

For she is with child.

It's taken.

She is with child.

What he's saying
is revelations--

Chapter 12, first 2 verses.

"And there appeared..."

"Appeared a great dragon.

"His--His tail
drew the third part

"Of the stars of heaven,
and he cast them to the earth.

"The dragon came
for the woman,

"To devour her child...

As soon as it is born."

Seems he has more fidelity
to you than he does me.

After all these years
i've reared him.

He's incapable of saying no,
isn't he?

Which was always
the experiment--

To see if i had
the maternal instinct

To take a cloned child--

An imperfect result
of experimentation--

And create something
angelic.

He has no hate...

Nor will he.

He's yours if you want him.

His relationship with me
was never to be forever.

Or perhaps you'd like
to shoot me.

I want to be fixed.

Which is why you brokered
a deal with galliston

Back on plum island
behind my back.

Just as you brokered one
with him behind my back.

You think i don't know
everything that happens

Under my watch?

You don't think i made sure
what ended up

In that needle galliston used?

Yes, vincent.

I can fix you.

Repair every genetic
imperfection

So that you may actually
be human.

But you, of course, will have
to do one last thing for me.

You have wondered,
haven't you, why you're here?

Because...

You are one of the 144,000.

Despite your current
iteration,

The blood you come from
hearkens back through germany,

Through the dietrich family,
all the way back

To the 12 tribes of israel.

I...

You've got holy blood,
vincent.

Not only can we fix you,

We can save you.

But you need to do
one last thing.

Raise your gun a final time

In service
of a greater mercy.

You want me to kill.

That is what you were
put on this earth for.

I think you'd agree.

Who?

Come, my beautiful girls.

All these months
and years

We've tried to please
god, haven't we?

The prayers, the study,
the service.

I think he's so pleased.

I just came in
to tell you that,

And to make sure you know

That this is not the end.

It's just a doorway
to better things, right?

I love you all.

We need to get out of here.

Now.

I don't want them
to suffer.

I know they're not the chosen,
but they have served god.

I'd rather they die now
than witness what'll come next.

May i raise him
to the light, lord...
