Previously on "Zero Hour"...
They didn't want the cross.
They wanted what was inside of it.
You think they're after the blood of Christ?
What am I looking at?
A blueprint for the Son of God.
Why would Laila betray Hank?
My position with the Shepherds
requires that I follow orders on blind faith.
Regardless of what I've done, what I am doing now
I'm doing to save your life.
I know what needs to be done,
and when the time comes, I won't flinch.
Your father achieved
the first cloning of a human being.
He created you.
You were the only man who could complete this project.
Dad risked his life for me.
We are going to rescue him.
10 is the number of completion.
The road to Christ is nigh.
The path must now be walked.
But the one you love will die.
See that inscription at the base?
It's a reference to a passage in the Bible
where Jesus throws the money changers out of the temple.
And what does it mean?
So look what's happening back in the U.S.,
with Paulson, Bernanke,
and your collapsing stock markets.
I'm telling you, it's all connected.
That locust, it isn't just counting minutes.
It's counting down.
To the end of time?
Got it.
Thank you.
You're really writing that down?
It's part of my job.
Oh.
"Modern Skeptic" magazine.
Maybe you've heard about us.
Sorry.
I don't want to brag,
but we are the number one periodical
with men who are living in their parents' basements.
Oh, really?
Well, yeah, I've dated a few of those.
They never mentioned it to me.
Okay, you're clearly not a conspiracy nut
what brings you to see "The Time Eater"?
I sort of have a thing for clocks.
I repair them, restore them.
Do you know this one is only accurate
once every five minutes?
So all these people have come here
to see a clock that doesn't actually work?
Well, apparently, it was designed that way
to reflect life's irregularity.
Come on. Don't you think perfection's boring?
Personally, I've always been more interested
in things with flaws.
Hank Galliston.
- Laila. - Hi.
Nice to meet you.
Where am I?
You are exactly where you need to be.
Too bad there'll be no help coming for you.
Who is it?
It's Laila. Open the door.
What's wrong?
It's Hank.
He's been in an accident.
How do you know?
Because I heard it.
Yeah, it's me.
Listen, give me a call when you get this, okay?
I think I know how to find my dad.
And then it's pretty quiet for a few minutes,
until this.
A helicopter.
Yeah.
Then it goes ghost on us.
Can you pull any more out of that static...
Voices, background noises?
I can try, but there's so much...
D-don't try. Just do.
If we're gonna find Hank, we need a lot more to go on.
You guys head back to the office,
dig through Hank's stuff,
try and figure out where he was headed.
What does it matter where he's headed?
We need to find out where he is.
Laila, with that tape, there are a lot of ways
that we could figure out where they've taken him.
But the list gets a whole lot shorter
if we can figure out where they took him from.
Well, we need to hurry.
If it's the Pyrates that took him, they'll...
They'll what, Laila?
What do they want from him?
We just need to find him.
Magellan, Columbus,
Amerigo Vespucci...
Great explorers who charted a course to a new world.
And now their names will be joined by yours.
Somewhere inside your son lies the map
we must follow to recreate the cloning process
you perfected all those years ago...
The path to...
Resurrecting the Son of God,
the path to our own new world.
So tell me, James,
are we ready to set sail?
Soon.
I think if I can compare Hank's D.N.A.
and physiology
to a flawed subject's,
then maybe by looking at what went wrong there,
I can figure out what went right with Hank.
Flawed subject?
Perhaps you can offer your services here, Mr. Vincent.
Come on.
You might even get some answers of your own.
Help me, please.
I'm being held here against my will.
Could... could you call the FBI?
Ask for Beck Riley.
What... what are you doing?
I'm... I'm... I'm fine.
Can you at least tell me where I am?
Zero Hour 01x011 Hands
==sync, correction by dcdah== for www.addic7ed.com
Hank, I am so sorry.
I thought if I helped them,
I could keep you out of this.
Dad, you know what these people want.
You can't help them.
No, but I can stall them. Make them think that...
This isn't like before, dad, with you and mom.
They're not gonna let you sneak off
into the dead of the night
and disappear.
Once they get what they need,
they will kill us.
What choice do I have? You're my son.
Oh, I see.
We're taking creative license here.
Daddy's son.
I prefer to call you my creator.
What is he talking about?
Oh, he still doesn't know.
The lab where you were born? I was born there as well.
Along with many others who, in fact, didn't make it,
thanks to your father here.
You have to understand,
I thought I could use this work
to cure birth defects, disease.
That all changed when you were born.
I knew that they were gonna cut you open,
dissect you.
I couldn't let that happen.
You see, I wasn't worth keeping.
You were.
Maybe... Hank,
if I can give them what they want,
they'll finally leave you alone.
Yeah, well, what do they want?
Just your blood.
Come on.
No more lies. We're family.
We can be honest with each other.
It is not just your blood they want.
They want the secret inside.
I don't understand.
They can't have a flawed savior, now can they?
He has to be perfect clone, like you.
You are the blueprint, Hank.
The only one...
That can show them the way.
Just one more time, Hank. That's it.
I'll start with Hank's computer.
These are the files that Hank gave me
to go through last night.
He wanted a list...
of all the 41 trust subsidiaries,
but we didn't find anything.
Yeah.
Maybe Hank did.
You want to ask me something, ask.
So you were put into Hank's life
on assignment from the Shepherds
so they could, what, watch him?
Or are you still going with the story that you stuck around
because you conveniently fell in love with him?
You think that was convenient for me, Rachel?
Loving Hank was the last thing that I wanted to do.
And you expect us to believe
that you're not still on assignment?
Look, you've made it pretty clear
that I shouldn't expect anything from you.
But know this...
The Shepherds wanted to keep Hank safe
and away from the people that have him right now.
So whether or not you believe me,
we all want the same thing here.
Do we?
Everything's going according to plan.
He trusts me.
Very good.
Know that we are grateful for your service.
We understand how trying these missions can be.
Yeah, it hasn't been as hard as I thought.
Hank makes it easy.
You like this man?
I... yeah, I find him pleasant to be around.
He's a good person.
I see.
You seem worried.
I need to be sure that you Haven't been compromised.
Take it.
Excuse me?
The gun, I'm asking you to take it.
It's heavier than you thought, isn't it?
It's a strange feeling
to hold a gun for the first time.
What is this about?
If the Pyrates were ever to find out
about Hank Galliston,
I need to be assured
that you'll be ready to act when called upon.
I'll do whatever's asked of me.
All right.
The lamb.
- Shoot it. - What?
I'm asking you to kill the lamb you see before you.
Clearly, you doubt me.
On the contrary. I believe in your goodness.
Then why would y...
Your job is not to ask questions.
You took an oath.
You don't have time to think.
Cock the gun and pull the trigger.
Good. You're ready.
Nothing.
Come on, Hank. What were you doing?
Ray.
Ray, I found something. Come here.
Okay, listen to this.
So the chopper goes on for about four minutes,
and then...
Birds.
Seagulls.
So wherever they took him, they had to fly over water.
And based on the velocity of the rotor blades,
I-I'm guessing 170 Miles per hour, give or take...
With the duration of the flight,
that... that's what, 13 Miles?
Yeah, but... but from where?
So I'm trying to think like Hank, right?
So I'm... I'm... I'm wondering where they took my dad,
and I'm getting frustrated because I keep coming up empty.
And then I-I lean back in the chair,
like we've seen Hank do a thousand times
when he hits a wall,
and... and I look up and I see... that.
The magazine cover, it's missing.
Wait. You think he took it?
Yeah, but why?
And... and which one?
I've looked at these, like, a hundred times,
but I can't remember.
Wait. The clocks.
I took photos of them in this room.
Maybe in the background of them somehow...
Wait. There. Go back. Go back. Yeah. No, that one.
Okay. Blow it up.
We better call Beck.
Plum Island...
The epicenter for top-secret agricultural research,
and if you're big into conspiracies,
a hotbed for animal cloning experimentation.
You ever hear of the Montauk Monster?
Remember that bloated, hairless raccoon
that washed up on shore a few years back?
It was not a raccoon. It had fangs and it was...
Okay, whether or not the monster was fake,
the history of Plum Island is very real.
There was a secret government program
that was started right after world war II
called Operation Paperclip,
and the idea was to bring over
the most brilliant Nazi scientists
to continue their research.
One of those scientists was this guy Erich Traub.
His specialty... viruses,
specifically... Disease-carrying bugs.
Sound familiar?
Yeah, Theo.
They found Hank's car.
Uh, New London, Connecticut,
about a 13-mile helicopter ride
over water from Plum Island.
Okay, um, I need to put together a team.
We don't have time for you to get a team together.
We have to get going now.
It's a secure facility. We need backup.
- We gonna need... - But if we wait any longer...
Damn it, Laila.
You are not the only worrying about losing someone today.
You're right. Hey, hey, um...
I'm sorry.
Let's do it your way.
Earlier you called this one "The Flawed Model."
I-I didn't mean it like that.
Yes, you did.
I'm not interested in your apologies.
I'm interested in your answers.
I want to know
what went wrong with me.
Every person's genomic sequence is unique.
To say "what went wrong" is a gross simplification.
You're a smart man, Dr. Galliston.
Don't try my patience.
Here. Your eyes.
The condition is similar to albinism.
That explains the lack of pigmentation.
And this...
This is what we call the warrior gene cluster.
It controls the aggression levels.
Yours...
are over-activated.
It's just genes that have mutated.
These things happen.
It didn't just happen! You did this to me!
It's your mistake!
But I assure you, doctor,
that my warrior genes are quite silent at the moment.
We still need you.
Here are our targets.
White Vincent...
Who I'm sure you're all familiar with,
Melanie Lynch...
C.E.O. of The 41 Trust...
And Theo Riley.
You have orders to apprehend these subjects
by whatever means necessary.
What are you guys doing here?
We got a message from Laila.
Said you wanted us all to meet here.
I-I never spoke with Laila. Is she here with you?
No. Wait. You don't think she's headed...
That's exactly what I'm thinking.
Why would she try to save Hank without us?
Maybe she's not trying to save him.
One more target...
Laila Galliston.
At this point, her motives
and level of involvement are unclear.
Thanks.
Proceed with caution.
How can I help you?
How much for this one?
Ah, with the motor? $1,500.
All right.
So is this our answer?
Yes. Erythropoietin...
A rare variation that caused Hank's body
to produce extra red blood cells.
Which would help fight off
any mutating genetic sequences in his body.
We must have triggered it somewhere
during the cloning process.
A lucky accident.
This was no accident.
This was God's divine intervention.
The God of the 21st century...
No longer speaks in tongues and riddles.
He speaks through science.
But how can we be sure the doctor's not lying?
It's a legitimate hypothesis.
Is it?
Yeah.
Uh, the only way to know for sure
is to sample tissue from one of Hank's major organs...
Liver, uh, kidneys.
We're not equipped for that kind of invasive surgery.
The slightest misstep...
Then perhaps I should find someone
who won't have the same fatherly investment,
someone who may not care whether his son lives or not.
The choice is up to you.
Suction.
No.
Doctor?
Is there a problem?
Yes. I no longer like the terms of my employment.
I didn't realize the only person
with nothing to negotiate
had the choice...
You need Hank's tissue sample.
I know where to find it.
But if I don't finish this procedure in five minutes,
Hank dies,
and nobody gets what they want.
It's a good game.
But trust me, you don't have the stomach for it.
Or should I say the right gene for it?
You think I'm bluffing?
I'd rather have my son die here with no pain
than be killed at your hand.
I know you people. I know what you have planned.
Then why fight it?
Because I believe my son still has a life to live...
A good one.
And I intend to make that happen.
Doctor, pressure is falling.
We should push fluids.
Put more in the drip.
It's not helping.
So what are the terms for this renegotiation?
You make sure Hank and I get off this island safely,
and in return, I give you
what you've always wanted.
Does she have a message for me?
Mm.
I used to paint.
Little hard to do around here so...
I draw.
Helps me see things,
things I don't want to forget.
Well, it helps.
How about you, you ever draw?
Come here.
All right.
You can start...
With anything...
A line,
a shape.
Just close your eyes...
And draw what you see...
What no one understands but you.
Theo Riley.
Yes.
Dr. Galliston told me to give you this sample.
He said it's ready to be analyzed.
Uh, great. You can just set it over there.
Thank you.
No problem.
That's it.
Keep going.
I spent my life with Theo.
I thought I knew him, and then...
You know, Laila was the first person
I let myself trust.
Now she's probably about the last person I ever would.
But do you think that she could hurt Hank?
Do you think that you could hurt Theo?
LA-Laila?
No, Hank.
It's not Laila.
How are you feeling?
Why are you here?
I came to thank you.
After all, it's your precious gift
that's going to make everything possible.
You need to take it easy.
Why is that...
The end of the world?
I understand the path to the truth
is not an easy one.
In fact, it took me some convincing.
My father was a doctor,
much like yours.
I grew up in labs and hospitals,
believing sickness and death was always around me.
Then I learned what he was really doing.
That in all those hours searching, testing,
what he was really trying to do was...
Deliver us the ultimate cure.
And what's that?
A clean slate.
Is that what you're calling your apocalypse?
What else would you call it?
Open your eyes, look at the world around you,
all the ways we've found to destroy one another
over and over,
then tell me...
Do you really believe this world is worth saving?
Does it matter wh-what I believe?
I mean, come on.
There have always been people like you
throughout history,
trying to scare everyone...
with your talks of fire and brimstone.
But guess how this story ends.
Enlighten me.
Sooner or later,
people will realize that you're just a...
another crazy nut case,
and they'll stop listening.
And you'll disappear.
And no one remembers you.
Is that so?
And it's not just the people who see it.
He'll see it, too...
the pain that you've caused in His name.
God understands that I did what had to be done.
You sure about that?
You're playing God, Melanie.
And I'm thinking...
He might not be too happy
about handing the keys over
to a false prophet like you.
I will not be trifled with!
I will deliver on my promise.
I will lift this darkness
and I will deliver the world the burning it deserves.
Like I said earlier...
You must take care of yourself.
We're all very grateful for what you've done.
Come on.
You really think you can fix me?
How can I be sure you're not lying?
You can't.
Gene therapy is still a highly experimental procedure.
Oh, reassuring.
The recombinant stem cells,
if successful,
will regenerate
the healthy tissues in your eyes.
I should warn you, this may be uncomfortable.
Like this will be
if you try anything clever.
Ah.
Your eyes will be sensitive for a while.
Sunglasses will help.
Vision is a little bit off.
That should clear up soon.
It didn't work.
Let's have a closer look.
The pigments are regenerating.
Is it permanent?
It should be.
If you don't mind, I'd like to see if my...
If Hank is okay.
Yeah.
There's a guard outside that will escort you.
And then you'll come and collect us and...
Yes. My end of the bargain.
I'll make sure you and your son
come out here alive.
I know...
you're not interested in apologies.
If I could go back
and do it over,
I would take you with me.
We got visitors.
I want a complete evacuation.
Have Vincent stay with our subject.
We can't leave until we're sure
we have what we need from him.
Put your drawing away.
Our time here is coming to a close.
Destroy it. All of it.
All right. We're shutting down.
Find Hank Galliston,
but don't shoot him.
He's too valuable for that.
Laila.
Hank.
Hey.
How did you get in here?
There's no time. We need to go.
White Vincent's here.
It's okay. I know how to get out of here.
Trust me.
You guys wait here.
I'll let you know when I find him.
Vincent.
Laila.
FBI.
We're here to inspect the premises.
Sorry, private property,
unless you've got a warrant.
We have probable cause and a whole lot of guns.
I'm gonna suggest that's warrant enough
for you to step aside.
Afraid I can't do that, ma'am.
Where are we?
Do we have what we need?
Still sequencing the protein receptor expressions.
Our enemies are at the gate. We can't stay much longer.
I just got the samples from Galliston an hour ago.
It takes time.
The good doctor, where is he?
Drop it. Drop the weapon.
Where's Hank?
I don't know.
White Vincent,
Theo Riley... You seen any of them?
Check the lab. But don't worry about Vincent.
We have an arrangement.
He's gonna help Hank get out of here.
Yeah, I doubt that. Help him out.
This way, sir.
Wait a minute.
Where's Laila? Have you seen her anywhere?
What would Laila be doing here?
Come on. You two with me.
It's okay.
Hey, Hank, open up.
I will not hurt you. I need you, brother.
Hank!
There's gotta be another way out.
I've got nothing. No doors, no windows. You?
Nothing.
Come on.
What is that?
What?
Open up, Hank!
- Oh, my God. - Open! Hank!
Oh, my God.
What is this place?
Hank, what did they do to you?
I need you, brother.
Dad...
He did a little surgery.
He said they needed to find something.
Did he find what they needed?
I don't know.
Hank, think. Try and remember. It's really important.
If they wanted something from you,
- I need to know if they got it. - I was out, Laila.
I-I didn't hang out for the results.
I mean, what does it matter if...
It's really important.
Ohh.
Of course.
You didn't come here to save me, did you, Laila?
You came here... To save everyone.
I don't know what to do.
You can choose to believe there's another way.
You can choose to believe they're lying.
You can choose to believe in more
than a book.
I'm sorry.
We've run out of time.
Laila, put the gun down.
The locusts... it's a sign.
He's telling me I have no choice.
Or maybe he's presenting you with one.
Isn't that what God does?
He tests us, right?
I tried to stop it, Hank. I did.
I didn't want to love you.
Laila...
Whatever's out there,
what... whatever happens...
We can get through it together.
Oh, Hank.
I promise.
Serve God... not man.
You don't have time to think.
Cock the gun and pull the trigger.
Hank.
No!
It's done.
It's finished.
It worked.
We have the code.
His code.
At last...
We're ready.
Oh.
It's okay.
Vincent.
Understand.
Okay. Looks like they have what they need from you, brother.
And so do I.
You think it's the FBI?
I don't think so.
Where are you... Ray, where are you going?
I see Lynch,
Theo.
Call Beck.
Lab's clear.
Nothing here.
Thought you might like to take a look.
I got this.
Yeah.
Beck, where are you? They're getting away.
Come here, pretty one.
Rachel. Rachel.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, back off
or you spend the next week
picking bits of her face out of your hair.
Don't shoot! He's got a hostage.
I'm sorry.
I tried to stop it on the bridge.
I tried to tell you.
What?
No, it's just I found this in my pocket.
Wow. You're doing this.
You're really doing this.
This is the part where you say "yes,"
and then we kiss.
I can't.
Whoa, whoa, wait. What do you... Laila.
Hank, please don't follow me.
No. No, no, no, no. Just stop.
Stop, stop, please, just...
Look, okay...
You're scared, right?
Commitment, getting old...
It's not that. I just...
I don't want to hurt you.
Uh, how do you know I won't hurt you?
Listen, listen, all I know
is you and me...
we can't live without each other.
But if I'm wrong,
I-I-if everything that's happened
in the last few months is just my imagination,
tell me, okay?
Tell me you don't love me,
and I'll go.
Hank...
I love you.
It's not that.
Then let's not make this hard.
Look, just...
Just say "yes."
Yes.
I love you.
