Previously on "Zero Hour"...
- I love you. - See you, honey.
They're breaking in.
We know quite a bit about who might have her.
He's the highest-end mercenary in the world.
What would a guy like that be doing, taking my wife?
Actually, that was gonna be my question to you.
Laila must've bought this today.
Guy was looking for something.
A map. This is the arctic circle.
Investigate who made the clock.
Wherever that thing came from may lead to my wife.
We found one of your clocks.
The church appointed 12 new apostles.
One clock was made for each apostle.
They were given a secret.
It was something hidden beneath the cathedral.
It was a secret the Nazis could never know,
because the Nazis had figured out
a way to render God irrelevant.
You must find these clocks
before the enemy does,
because if those clocks have resurfaced,
then a storm is coming.
1 is the number of man.
1 is the number of you,
but sometimes 1 is not 1.
Sometimes 1 is 2.
No! No!
I know you're going in there for something,
but tell me first--
is my wife alive?
So how does it feel to look upon yourself, Hank?
It's...
like the insides of your head
sort of...
break apart, don't they?
Understand this, when i execute you,
it will be out of mercy.
The only killing that's gonna be done today is by my hand,
and it won't be out of mercy.
Do as you will, but if you kill me, you kill his wife.
Where she is, is only up here.
Beck.
No! I've waited too long for this.
No. No. Beck. Beck.
- No. - We can--we can do this the right way.
- No. - We can both win, okay?
You can take him back,
and i can get Laila back. Please.
It ends here.
Where is my wife?
I'll take you to her,
provided you keep the shrew from killing me.
And what is...
what is--what is that...
Oh, Hank, brother...
You can still stop. Don't ask questions.
What do you know?
Let's go about the business
getting back to civilization, shall we?
If you're not gonna tell us,
maybe this will.
You came a long way for it.
Why?
Who are you working for, Vincent?
This isn't you.
Is this some kind of map?
Is that what it is?
Talk!
The threat your gun poses is empty.
You know, i can't get killed, not till he gets his wife.
Thus, every threat expressed between now
and that moment is patently hollow.
So stop playing.
I'm trying to remember where we met.
Of course. I must have done you a serious wrong,
for i haven't seen hate in a woman's eyes like that
in a long, long time.
This is Beck Riley of the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation.
We need help. This is a Mayday.
I repeat--Mayday.
Okay, let's get out of here.
Okay. Thank you.
Vincent's plane
landed on a small airfield 12 hours ago.
He killed both men on duty,
absconded with a car. He's gone.
And now i'm officially in a lot of trouble. We'll be in touch.
Wait a second. What do you mean, we'll be in touch?
Hank, God bless you,
but the bureau does not send a welcoming committee
unless there is a crapstorm coming.
But you didn't do anything wrong.
Yeah, i did. I listened to you.
I should've killed vincent when i had the chance.
I let my heart get in the way of my professionalism.
Because we were trying to save my wife.
And what if she's already dead?
Trust me, that's hard for me to say,
but you have to be prepared for that prospect.
She is alive.
Just know, i will kill him next time.
Even if we haven't found Laila?
Yes.
Then we have nothing more to say.
How is it i can call the cops, FBI,
even Interpol,
and all i get is "Everyone's working on it"?
But nobody's got anything new--
not on Vincent, not on Laila,
not on anything.
Who pays these people?
Thank God.
What happened out there?
It's about a clock, another one.
The guy in Bavaria said
that there was a secret in the clocks,
that there were 12 of 'em,
and they somehow led to the end of the world.
Okay. I want you two to listen to me, okay?
People will believe whatever the hell they want to believe.
Let me tell you what i believe right now.
One--my wife is alive.
Two--i solve this,
I find Vincent. I get her back.
The FBI is gonna take her as collateral damage
if it means bringing down Vincent.
I can't have that.
Neither can we.
Hey, this office is full of Ninjas.
We're all cracked out on caffeine,
and we're ready to rock.
We got zero love for the FBI
or anybody in a pantsuit for that matter.
All right, you tell us to jump and we're skying for you.
Add one more to that.
You look like hell.
Ah, wrong words to lay on a priest.
I mean it all the same.
Hospital wasn't exactly happy...
I checked myself out.
But i figured you needed me
more than i needed them.
You didn't have to do that.
I will say it every day until it actually happens--
we're gonna get her back.
I'll be leaving here soon,
which brings me to you.
See, i've got these bottles of lye here.
That bathtub over there.
And this, uh, prepaid 6-month lease on, well, this space.
Meaning if i were to drown you.
Say, soak your corpse in lye
until you look like minestrone,
no one would know until Christmas,
and i'd be saved the crucial things of disposing your body.
My point, right?
This is... my point.
Tell me something.
Prove something. Show worth.
I--i can't help you.
I don't know what you're talking about.
I just... want to get back to my husband.
I don't see any worth there.
If i could help you, i would.
Do you think i'm stupid? I know that would keep me alive.
But i can't do anything for you.
Too bad.
According to the guy in Bavaria,
1938 rolls around,
the church is terrified of Hitler.
They appoint 12 new apostles
and entrust them with the ultimate secret.
And it's hidden in these clocks.
The ultimate secret.
He acted like it had something to do with the end of the world.
He didn't act like it. He said it had started.
Because these clocks had surfaced,
it had started.
People always think the end of the world is starting.
It's all about interpretation.
Revelation 16 says the first sign comes
when an angel pours out his bowl
and painful sores break out on the people.
You interpret it one way, that's A.I.D.S.
I don't personally, but a lot of people do.
What was the second sign?
Next angel comes,
pours out his bowl in the rivers,
and they became as blood.
God bless scriptures, Mickle.
Let's not fall into interpretation.
What does this clock tell you?
This engraving on the face of the watch--
the symbol of the apostle Thomas--
doubting Thomas, the one that didn't believe
the resurrection of Christ at first.
So if the last clock led to new Bartholomew,
then this clock will lead to a new Thomas.
Which has gotta be where Vincent's heading.
Which means we can catch him as long as we can figure out
what the hell this means.
That's interesting.
These gears-- they're soldered.
This clock was never meant to work in the first place.
Who makes a clock that's not supposed to tell time?
I got a pitch.
When i was a kid, i couldn't sleep at night.
I would just stare up at the ceiling,
and all i would see was stars.
You know, the glow-in-the-dark kind
that you buy at the 99-cent store
and you stuck up there yourself?
Stars.
Maybe it's a celestial map.
So if you connect the dots on the watch,
what you get is a constellation.
More specifically, Cepheus.
You can use constellations as reckoning, can't you,
to find a location?
The only problem is,
the constellation alone won't do it.
You need a time and the date
to establish a location.
8:15. March 8th, 1938.
"Stargazer Almanac" tells us
the exact place you have to be
to view the constellation on that date.
We get there first,
find Vincent, and then Laila.
I'm guessing you want me to arrange travel.
Chennai, India.
Chennai, India--
Book the next flight there, please.
Seriously, i'm fine. I just have to get to the airport.
Hank, stop. Something's off.
You've been acting different since you got back from the tundra.
Please just talk to us.
I saw something,
Something i can't explain.
So the guy in the sub-- he looked like you?
No, he didn't look like me.
He looked exactly like me.
- That doesn't make any sense. - No, it doesn't.
I mean, there has to be a rational explanation.
- I just-- - What about that journal
on the sub? You said Beck took it?
- Maybe it'll give us some answers. - No. I want no part of the FBI.
Don't you want to know, Hank?
Who he was?
We do.
Honestly, if i focus on that now, i will drop the ball,
and that's about getting Laila.
Then send me. I'll get it.
One condition.
You tell them exactly nothing about where i'm going.
Inside a doughnut. Got it?
I got it.
I understand, sir. It's just, for whatever reason,
Vincent's being a lot more reckless than usual.
He will ping again, and we will get him.
I'm not bothering you, am i?
Just surprised. How'd you find me?
My generation's got skills when it comes to the Internet.
I was hoping you could, um, help me with something--
A journal.
Thanks.
You paint.
No, my husband did.
I can't bring myself to take 'em down.
I guess if his work is unfinished, then he's still here somehow.
Living with ghosts--
better than being alone.
Alone sucks. I can tell you that firsthand.
You were an orphan.
You did your homework.
My generation has a few skills, too, Ms. Lewis.
Rachel.
Then i don't have to tell you that Hank picked me up,
gave me a job, and a place to live.
I guess the point i'm trying to make is
You don't always have to be alone.
I like your ink. What's the language?
Oh, um, Hindi, Thai, Farsi.
Theo and i were idealists,
loading up on languages as fast as we could.
The more we could learn, the more people we could connect with.
That is what youth and a degree in social work will get you.
Save the world, one village at a time.
How in god's name did you end up working for the FBI?
A plane blows up on the other side of the planet,
your husband's on it, and suddenly,
you don't want to save the world anymore.
You just want to put a bullet in the bomber's head.
We've done our thing with the journal.
There's nothing in there for us.
You can tell Hank it won't help him find Vincent.
Well, i don't think he wants it of that.
He thinks it might help him understand something--
Something he saw up there, in the ice.
Yeah, i saw it, too.
It was him.
I can't explain it, but it was him.
Maybe something in the journal will give you answers.
Maybe he had family in the war.
But i need you to do something for me.
I need you to tell me how Hank is planning on going after Vincent.
Vincent was gonna kill Hank.
If i'd gotten there a second later, he'd have been dead.
He didn't tell you that, did he?
There's only one language that Vincent understands.
Hank may be looking after you,
but are you looking after him?
Mickle, i was trying to get into Vincent's head on the way over.
The clock points to Chennai, right?
It turns out that Chennai
is the place where Thomas was supposedly martyred.
If i remember, there's a church isn't there?
Built on the site where he was killed.
Uh-huh. Santhome Basilica.
It's the holiest christian site in all of India,
and at this moment, is exactly where i'm headed.
Pestilence is the first sign--
Illness. Sores.
You know there are more diseases now
than at any time in the history of mankind?
What's the second sign?
A angel pours his bowl and the rivers turn to blood.
Slightly awesome.
Hey, Girl Scouts.
We got real work to do.
My German's a little rusty here.
Since when do you know German?
Since i met a girl named Olga Neuberger
in my freshman badminton class, if you must know.
I figured german would help me get into her good graces
and other places.
So then you're saying you're still a virgin.
Let's see. Navigational stuff.
Navigational stuff.
Name.
Said the guy in the sub was a commandant, right?
- Yeah. - Then we got a name--
Korbin Sturm.
I like that.
I was expecting a Hans or a Heinrich or something,
but Korbin Sturm-- that's just macho.
Hey, look at this. Guess which month is missing.
March 1938.
Same date as the watch.
Getting the feeling something happened that month
that people don't want the world to know about.
Father, do you speak English?
Yes.
- Do you have a minute? - I do.
I sort of have an emergency.
Have you seen her?
- Not that i know of. - Are you sure?
I work here every day.
A fair western woman like that, i'd remember.
What about him?
What is it?
This is the man that abducted her?
He's a killer.
He was here, wasn't he?
He was asking strange questions about the slums.
He disappeared in there a few minutes ago at most.
I'll call the police for you, sir,
But the police don't go in slums.
The people in there-- they'd kill you for a dollar.
Thank you.
I just got off the phone with The Nazi War Criminals Library.
There's such a place?
Yep. And they've got information on our man, Korbin Sturm.
Okay. Korbin sturm--
married, no children, scientist at The University of Bonn.
Scientist?
Yeah. Until he was conscripted into the Nazi party
for field research on something called Zero Hour.
There it is again--Zero Hour. What was it?
No one knows. It was all redacted.
Supposedly there's more information out there,
but The Nazi War Criminals Library
said it's in the care of a private collector.
Evidently, for a subset of the population,
Nazi memorabilia is quite the ticket.
Well, as soon as i heard "Modern Skeptic,"
I was over the moon.
I'm a closet fan, if i may say.
You are.
Oh, conspiracies, the mysteries of history--
It's--it's right up my alley.
Yeah, well, um, we're glad you're a reader.
So did you find anything on the research program
we discussed? Zero hour?
I... think so.
Uh, can i offer you anything?
Brazil nuts?
No, thank you.
I just can't force myself to digitalize this stuff, you know?
Like you kids say, music is pure on vinyl,
so too an image is more resonant
when seen projected through celluloid.
At least i think. Aha!
Zero Hour.
Like most Nazi expeditions,
the records were destroyed before Berlin fell.
What we do know is an expedition was sent to India
at the direct orders of Nazi high command.
And of course, conspiracy theorists,
over the years, have had their theories.
Oh, my god.
Arron, are you seeing this?
The conspiracy theorists--
What--what do they think the expedition was looking for?
According to them,
the secret of life...
And death.
We don't have much to go on
besides these films and questionable records,
but people swear the expedition
was looking for the supernatural.
Now who--who is this girl?
Sri Trailanga.
Locals said she had the ability to talk to the dead.
Of course i couldn't help myself. I had to look into her.
There was never any credible proof
that she did have special powers.
What happened to her?
Disappeared from the history books after that.
No one knows.
Okay.
I don't speak--
That language doesn't work for you?
How about this one?
I didn't know that the FBI trained their agents in Hindi.
Residual from my Peace Corps days. There's some rust on it.
You here to arrest me?
I'm here to make peace.
I know what it's like to lose somebody, Hank. I really do.
I have not lost anyone.
I didn't mean it like that. I--
Look, what you told me before?
Okay, old me would say, yes, you're right, my wife is dead,
but it is impossible for me to think that way anymore.
I know. The skeptic suddenly believing
in something he can't even prove himself--
That his wife is alive.
It's because we need it, Hank.
We--we need to believe in something.
So now she suddenly understands me?
You are motoring headlong into a war zone, Hank.
Vincent will kill you without blinking an eye.
We have had this conversation before.
I am not gonna let you kill him
without me getting what i want first.
We'll do it the right way. I will arrest him,
we will interrogate him, and we will get Laila.
Hank, i came here to help you.
- Rachel? - Hank.
I think our stories might have just overlapped.
This girl--
She could be the one Vincent's looking for.
It's just a hunch, Hank, but what if she's New Thomas?
Maybe the Apostles weren't all men.
In 1938, Sturm was with her in India.
I mean, she's this holy woman,
and he's completely fascinated with her,
and then she conveniently disappears from history
after he crosses her path?
I mean, isn't that the point?
To keep the existence of these Apostles
hidden from the rest of the world?
I mean, she'd have to be what, 80, if she's alive?
With that birthmark underneath her eye.
The scientist--
What's--what's his name again?
Korbin Sturm.
Sturm.
Be safe, okay?
You, too, Hank.
It may not be my place,
but we're talking about Apostles,
and one of them is not only a woman but also a Hindu?
It'd break all the rules--
The kind of rules that a lot of people don't want to see broken,
to the point that they would kill over it.
So we've got a Nazi scientist
looking into the supernatural in India.
How does he go from that to being dead,
in a submarine, 5.000 miles away from Germany?
Ray?
Yeah?
Ask and you shall receive.
"Fur meine ehefrau."
"For my wife."
- No. - Oh, what?
- I've gotta go. - No.
- They're breaking in. - Laila? Laila?
I love you.
Those guys who attacked me in the alley--
Why?
There's a lot of desperation in the world, Hank.
They see westerners, understandably, as rich people.
So you think it's about money?
But why do i still have this?
I have a different hypothesis for you.
It wasn't because we were carrying money.
It's because we were carrying weapons.
They were protecting someone.
- Here. - Thank you.
You can't possibly know this, Hank.
It's a flier, for sure.
If there's a holy woman hidden in there,
you're sure as hell not gonna shoot your way to her.
"I am writing to you officially as a soldier,
"My dearest wife,
A man of gun and uniform"...
"A bringer of death,
"For that is what the Nazi party has trained me to become.
"But you alone have known the real me all these years--
"A man not of hate,
But one of... faith."
"Dark things are upon us, love,
in so many ways."
"But i have searched for those that would stand against it,
And in the least expected places, i have found them."
He's saying that we should get lost.
Well, that's the P.G. version anyhow.
It's...it's okay.
They call her Khardi Amma.
"Standing mother."
She made a vow 70 years ago never to sit
out of some sort of defiance.
New Thomas.
"We were neither Christians not Hindus in that moment"...
"Only people with a common aim"...
"To keep the species alive."
Have...have you seen either of these people?
Did they come to you?
This man, apparently, is looking for a clock.
If...if you have it, i can... i can make a deal with him.
She says that she has a clock,
But that she was told that if she ever saw your face,
that she was to destroy it.
Who told her that?
You did.
Come on. What else does it say?
It says...
"Nothing in the world matters but love."
"The smallest things"...
"How one cooks"...
"How one sleeps"...
"And you don't realize how beautiful they are"...
"Until you stand to lose them forever."
I love this woman.
You understand?
If you have a secret,
you...you have to help me.
She wants to know how you know that Laila is here.
I feel it.
She says you came to her 70 years ago,
and said if you returned,
it would prophesy the coming of the angel of death.
"We have intruded on God's grounds, my love."
"I have seen unspeakable things."
"What i know now makes me a threat,
"Not only to man,
"But god.
"Because of that, i must leave all that is sacred in my life--
You."
I will not leave without her.
"This woman. You've traveled around the world to find her.
Death stalks you, and yet, still you come."
That's right.
No! No!
No! No! No!
Drop it! Drop it!
The priest.
It's Vincent.
Hank! Cut him off at the street!
"That's why i left--
"to save you,
"to save all of mankind."
"I only wanted to save you,
"But have i killed my own heart in the process?"
Laila! Laila!
Laila!
I'll find you!
Laila!
"I chose the world over you, my love.
"But if i had to do it again,
I'd choose you over the world."
She said she was wrong,
that the angel of death tonight wasn't you,
but that the darkness of the coming apocalypse
is now upon us.
What?
She says, you alone hold the key.
She says, if you continue on your quest,
it'll bring about the end of the world.
Tell her if i stop,
I'll...i'll lose my wife, and i can't do that.
What does she mean by that, Hank?
I don't know.
Why would she say the end of the world is coming?
The angel pours his bowl into the rivers,
and they become as blood.
Maybe the signs are here,
and we just haven't seen them.
