He must be valuable,

Did you take those from the hotel?
Why do you do this?
I wanna be sure the good guys get this technology

I came back from Afghanistan. What do you want me to do?
I'm not gonna become an accountant.
I'm not gonna sell Jeeps.
I don't think I'm gonna cure cancer,

Isn't that why you're here?
I believe this technology, if understood properly,
can end famine, cure sickness.
I think what we're doing here
will absolutely change the course of humanity.
And in the wrong hands, it could be the end of humanity.
Well, don't you think there's a reason that this is all happening?
I mean, there are billions of stars,
billions of planets.
The odds that this Debris found us are impossible.
That's the job, you know.
Impossible.
I don't know if you know this,
but my dad was the first astrophysicist
to be told the truth about what they found.
And when he saw all the Hubble Telescope
shots of the wrecked spacecraft,
which was spectacular,
the Debris cloud was huge.
And when those pieces finally started to arrive...
He's the one who said it best.
He said that...
it finally made him believe again.
I find that comforting, not scary.
Maybe it's in my blood.
Well, at least he got a chance to see that it got here
before he died.
Well...
I don't know if Debris found us,
or if it was helped here somehow.
But these beings have given us a gift.

She's defying gravity.
Maybe manipulating the Earth's electric field.
Yeah. Some sort of magnetic levitation.
She's clocking in on the Laghari at a 4.5.
We don't know when she died. It could've been higher.
When was the last day of atmospheric entry?
We had activity here two weeks ago.
BRYAN: Well, the wind took her here, so there's no telling
where she came in contact with it.
Let's run a SAT scan
and see if it comes up with any signatures.

Connection. It's all we really have
to keep us on the ground here.
You know, when you were outside greeting the team,
I went out to the Debris, because I wanted to
run some DF tests.
It manifested a vision of my mother
In my mind. From my memory.
It only clocked in at an 85.
It's as if the Debris pulled that memory from me
because it felt my longing for her.
I think this is all about Mary Vandeberg.
I think it's her grief that caused her dead son to manifest.
FINOLA: She probably thought it was a miracle
when she saw her son alive.
So she calls her daughter to come...
BRYAN: Right. And then 24 hours later,
she says don't come.
- Something happened. - Yeah.
We heard what Sharon said.
They were all being drained of energy.
Maybe he had to drain the dad to continue to exist.
Yeah. Like it's using people as batteries.
Right, and then the dad's been out there in the field...
The kid needs another battery, someone else.
The closest person he had to him was his mom,
so he drains her, and now it's just running on autopilot,
finding other people to drain.
