ANNOUNCER: Previously on Debris
FINOLA: There are billions
of stars, billions of planets.
The odds that this Debris
found us are impossible.
This was found on a roof
on a farm in Wisconsin.
Yeah, we'll take that one too.
FERRIS: We think he's part of
a group calling themselves Influx.
They are actively seeking Debris.
It is more important now
than ever to show all cards.
MADDOX: George Jones. He's alive.
MI6 stays out of it.
BRYAN: It's her father. Do you
know what you're asking me to do?
Let's just look out for each other.
Where was the last time
you saw your father?
- In the morgue.
- She sat with her father's body
after he died. How is that possible?
I just sent a team to London
to dig up George Jones.
Buckle up.
[radio chatter]
MAN: Jim, keep an eye on the 417.
I'm telling you,
there's a hang-up there.
JIM: Roger that, Cal.
I see it. Be right back.
Cal, it's Katie.
I got a faulty swing switch
on the second box at Glen Road.
CAL: You want me to send Ernie?
He's sitting right beside me.
KATIE: Nah, he'll just mess
things up worse than they are.
CAL: He heard that.
Is he laughing?
He says you're making
your own dinner tonight.
Oh, so it's gonna be good for a change?
Ooh! I think I'm gonna switch channels,
for the good of the both of you.
JIM: It's just getting good.
- I'm not leaving until they get divorced.
- [static]
Come on, Kevin. Back to work.
[garbled transmissions continue]
- Hey, Cal?
- [radio static crackles]
Cal?
Cal?

[theme]
MADDOX: How's he doing?
WOMAN: He's okay. Normal.
As normal as can be expected.
However it cloned him,
the exposure had no impact
on his biology.
Good. Okay.
He can get back out there.
Thanks, Karen.
[knocking]
- Wow. You're a vision.
- These are drafty.
- Yeah.
- Not gonna lie.
- They wear well, though.
- Appreciate that.
Have you heard anything in
London about George Jones?
Spec ops is on the ground.
Exhuming him tomorrow.
We're gonna get to
the bottom of it. Promise.
I've been thinking. Finola.
If MI6 knew that her father
was still alive,
they would take her out of here.
We need to get her home
before this becomes an issue.
We can do that, right?
I don't know, maybe we get that, uh
that creepy Dutch guy back.
You hated the creepy Dutch guy.
He was adorable.
This is going to affect her.
Listen. We're just gonna
have to sit on this
for a little while, okay?
See what happens.
Hmm.
Got it.
- [hands clasp]
- [phone buzzes]
- They're waiting on me.
- All right.
Thank you.
Hey, how'd it go? I was worried.
Shipshape.
Sometimes you get lucky.
Looks like I'm gonna be
around a little while.
You were born under a lucky star.
Oh! So you're saying
that I am the lucky one?
- Gentlemen, how are you?
- You good?
Spectacular. We're heading to Minnesota.
I love Minnesota.
Uh, except we are going to Ohio.
Some phenomenon in a cell tower field.
There's not much information as yet.
The situation team is on their way.
Anything hit the ground last night?
No, not that we caught.
Um, thank you.
Seriously, for, uh
worrying about me.
Yeah. Of course.
BRYAN: I'm gonna get
a little sleep. I'm beat.
[car doors slam]
Hey.
Hey. Did you get my email?
In the file it said a utility
worker was doing repair work
- on cell phone towers.
- Yeah.
She turned, and it was just there.
- In the field.
- Where is it?
Well, that's the thing.
It just vanished.
Took this when we first
got here 30 minutes ago.
[low oscillating hum]
BRYAN: They're trying to get out.
Do you hear that sound?
That only shows up on the recording.
We didn't hear anything
like that on site.
Have we found Debris?
Not yet. No signatures.
Okay. Uh, let's do
some GPR out here too.
It's gotta be somewhere.
I'm gonna check out the field.
It's gonna be dark soon.
FINOLA: The square appeared
in the northeast areas of the field,
consisting of two dimensions.
Initial reports indicate LDRs were zero.
At timestamp marker 3:04,
beings of an unknown origin
are observable.
Agent Beneventi noted the beings
appear to be trying to get out.
And I agree.
FEMALE VOICE: Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Hello?
[distorted] Is anyone out there?
FINOLA: This got recorded
when I was doing notes.
FEMALE VOICE: Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Hello?
- That's from the static at the LDU?
- Yeah.
Is anyone out there?
- But listen to the oscillations.
- Hello?
It's the same oscillations
on the video of the square.
Is anyone out there?
It's one of the beings
from inside the square.
The square's not here anymore.
Some of our guys picked up a voice
transmission on their LDUs.
Yeah, we heard it too.
This is Muntz.
Play it.
FEMALE VOICE: I can see you.
I can see lights.
I can see lights!
Maybe what we're hearing
is a reverberation
from when the square was here.
Maybe what we're hearing
is somehow out of sync?
No way. She said, "I see your lights.
I see your lights."
There were never lights on
when the square was here.
It was daytime.
BRYAN: Could it be that it's still here,
but it's not visible?
I'm getting it again.
[radio static]
FEMALE VOICE:
I can see someone out there.
I can see people.
Can anyone hear me?
We need to find a way
- to broadcast back to it.
- Can you hear me?
We've never used the Laghari
spectrum for communication.
- We need to try and answer them.
- What's happening?
They're only built as receivers.
- [oscillating static]
- I can see you!
Please, help me.
FINOLA: We have to make contact.
[knocking on door]
Here you go. Try this.
Relays can give you
a little more control
over the modulation.
Where did you get
the parts to make this?
I don't know,
from one of these yellow cases
in the truck. I had to make do.
That was a million-dollar
piece of equipment.
Wow. This is a nice spot.
Got a lot of gadgets.
I've come across plenty like you.
Men who have also played
by their own rules.
Did you ever encounter
an agent named Kelvin?
Uh, Kelvin
Can't say that I have. Why?
He was sure he could
pick up a piece of Debris
that hadn't been fully vetted.
He was turned inside out.
Well
one of my tips for survival, Muntz,
is always let the other guy
touch the Debris first.
[burst of static]
Bryan, the square, it's here.
The square's back.
The square's back up.
Come on!
Here.
Hello.
Can you hear me?
Hello, can you hear me?
[oscillating static]
WOMAN: Yes.
Can you see me?
FINOLA: Yes, I can see you.
FINOLA: She can't hear us.
MUNTZ: Let me try something.
- FINOLA: Quickly.
- MUNTZ: I'm doing what I can.
What's your name?
[radio static]
The signal, it's getting weaker.
BRYAN: Any Debris signatures, Huerta?
- HUERTA: Nothin'.
- BRYAN: They gotta be here.
Where is it?
BRYAN: If there's no Debris,
how the hell is this happening?
What's your name?
My name is Nicole Hegmann.
Who are the people that are with you?
[static crackles]
No one is with me.
[static crackles]
It's as if she can't see them.
Can you tell me where you're from?
What happened to me?
What's happening?
[static, feedback]
Nicole Hegmann is a real missing person.
She vanished from Saline,
Michigan in 2019.
I don't know how that's possible.
The Debris only started
falling six months ago.
Thank you. Keep the change.
[line ringing]
MAN [on phone]: Come further
to the intersection.
See the black Audi?
Do you mind if we talk here?
Better than a restaurant, I think, hmm?
I, uh, admire your
situational awareness.
This is what you're looking for?
The Chinese claim they have it.
The Chinese claim a lot of things.
Listen, Tarkolov, we're all just
trying to assemble these pieces
so that we can figure
this technology out.
They wanna call it an arms race?
They're right.
And the cards on your table?
I don't know why this piece
is important to Russia.
I don't wanna know.
Anja said you were
interested in a trade.
Was she wrong?
2:30 next Friday.
Turn on the phone I gave you.
I'll have the answer
if we can get it done.
[engine starts]
BRYAN: Why hasn't it reappeared?
It makes no sense.
Maybe the people in there
are all missing persons.
But how come we can't hear all of them?
Why is it only her?
Hmm.
And how come she can see us,
but she can't see anybody else
in there with her?
I don't know.
Maybe they're all on
different frequencies?
Like a walkie-talkie?
We just happened to pick up
hers in the white noise.
What is it?
I think it's some sort of portal.
There are these Native American legends
that tell stories of people
who encounter natural arches
in the landscape
where they passed through,
and they never returned.
Maybe it's something like that.
You said you think
it might still be here,
but we can't see it.
Do you believe that?
I don't know.
My dad did.
The universe is not limited
to the three dimensions that we can see.
That there may be as many
as 11 dimensions.
And most of these dimensions
are compactified,
or or curled up so small
that we can neither see nor reach them.
What if I were to tell you
that these curled up
dimensions could be uncurled?
That there are places in our world
where they've already done so.
Access points.
Access points to vast stretches
of what you might call
unoccupied real estate
waiting for someone to
figure out how to use them.
[switch clicks]
Hey. So, um
maybe Nicole walked into
one of these things,
and the Debris is showing it to us?
Yeah, but we don't have any Debris?
Then how are we seeing it?
Your father was just saying
we can't see them.
The Debris, it has to be
Yeah, I'm sorry. Excuse me.
[sniffs]
[sighs]
That there are places in our world
where they've already done so.
Access points.
Waiting for someone to
figure out how to use them.
♪
I'm sorry that I upset you.
Yeah, that's okay.
I just realized, I'm just
so mad at him.
But I just forget how much I miss him.
And I just wish I could, um
speak to him.
one more time.
Anyway, the one good thing
about the possibility
of my father's theory being true,
is if Nicole and
the others inadvertently
found their way into
another dimension, well,
there must be a way to get them out.
Your father created a US
Access Point Map in his files.
I cross checked the coordinates
of the dimension sites.
One of them is in Saline, Michigan,
where Nicole vanished.
And another is here.
In this field.
Your father was right.
They exist.
Access Points, waiting for someone
to figure out how to use them.
We have to embrace that
our universal geometry
may be much larger
than we ever conceived.
I have an idea.
Bryan, open up
the specimen fridge over there.
There's a rectangular blue container.
Bring it to me.
We can't locate Debris.
I have nothing to study.
I can't learn anything about
the so-called access point.
We're only seeing the square
in two dimensions.
But for Nicole, no one knows
what she's experiencing.
If we can maintain unbroken
communication with her,
I can try and understand
what she's seeing inside.
Maybe I can use
the information to help her.
When she was emotional,
the signal tended to be stronger.
Can you get her to that emotional state
- and keep her there?
- FINOLA: Um
yeah.
I might have a way.
Why am I here? What's this about?
- Mr. Hegmann
- They show up at my house,
and then they put me on
a helicopter with no answers.
They tell me you have information
about my daughter. Is she alive?
We are still gathering information.
Why don't you come in to the trailer,
and we can sit down and talk?
FINOLA: Yeah.
Who are you people?
We work for a division of the government
that investigates scientific anomalies.
FINOLA: Your daughter?
Tell me what happened
the day she disappeared.
[sighs] I was in a store near my house.
Shopping.
She left to go wait in the car.
When I got there, she was gone.
It's torture to think
what happened to her.
It just takes all of the joy
out of your life, you know?
Every time there's a knock on the door,
or the phone
you're praying that it's her.
[sighs]
It's
It's just the not knowing, the
I mean, it was just her and me.
My My wife passed away
when she was a child.
[chuckles] She was such a character.
Forgive me, Mr. Hegmann.
Are you familiar with
the Bermuda Triangle?
The concept?
[scoffs] Of course.
Now, we believe that there
other places like that.
We think your daughter Nicole
entered such a place
the day she went missing.
BRYAN: And we think she's
communicating with us from inside.
[starts recording]
[low oscillating hum]
NICOLE: Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Is there anyone out there?
I can see someone out there.
I can see the lights.
[gasping]
Help me!
[Mr. Hegmann crying]
Is it there now?
We just can't see it.
I felt she was alive.
I felt it.
I still feel connected to her.
What do you mean?
I have these recurring dreams about her.
What kind of dreams?
I would go to the parking lot
where she disappeared.
I'm alone.
I wait there.
I knew I just had to wait.
And Nicole comes and finds me.
We just hold each other.
Then I wake up and
I feel connected to her again.
Richard, we sent for you,
because we are hoping
that if we can establish
communication again with Nicole,
hearing your voice will
intensify her emotional state,
and we think it will help the signal
that we are communicating to
her with to become stronger.
It will give our scientists
a better chance
of asking her important questions
and analyzing what to do.
- Can I get closer to it?
- Yeah.
You're gonna start in on how
he felt she was alive, right?
About how his dreams told him that?
I mean, like gravity
is an unseen force
but it's here.
Maybe the bonds that we
create with each other,
maybe they're just as strong.
[device beeping]
[low static hum]
Muntz! Muntz!
[alarm blaring]
Dad? Can you hear me?
Nicole? That's my daughter in there.
Nicole?
Dad?
Dad, I can see you.
Can you hear me? Nicole?
NICOLE: Dad? Dad?
Can you hear me?
Nicole, I'm here.
FINOLA: Ask her what she sees.
RICHARD: Can you describe
what you're seeing?
NICOLE: I'm so scared.
I'm here. You gotta stay
strong and listen to me.
Ask her how she got in there.
Is she able to walk around the square?
RICHARD: How did you get in there?
NICOLE: I don't know.
Tell me what happened to you.
I was walking in the parking lot
back to the car,
and I turned and realized I was alone.
And then I saw this field.
It was never there before.
I I walked to it.
But now I I can't get back.
and I've been walking around
trying to for a few hours.
She thinks she's only
been gone for a few hours.
How is that possible?
NICOLE: Then I found this barrier,
and I can see the shapes
of people outside.
[crying] I don't know.
I don't know where I am.
Ask her, does she see any
discrepancies in the light?
Is there anything that she can identify?
RICHARD: Is there anything more you
can tell us about what you see?
Can you see anything other than a field?
[electronic warbling]
Dad? Dad, please don't leave!
- What's happening to her?
- Dad?
Dad, I can't see you!
Dad, I love you!
I love you!
♪
Ah, thank you.
When I said I loved her
do you think she heard me?
I never I told her I loved her enough.
It was always on my mind
when I lost her.
She heard you.
MUNTZ: It's conceivable time
doesn't flow at the same rate
when you move through another dimension.
But if time is moving
at a different rate,
how are we able to communicate?
Why are we synced?
I don't have an answer for you.
We can't save her.
Even when the connection
to her is strong,
- the square shuts down for some reason.
- There's a way.
- Even if I could understand it
- Mm-hmm.
I don't know how to stabilize it.
Nothing in this world can stabilize it.
- Since we don't have the Debris,
- Yeah.
I can't determine
how it becomes visible.
- [phone chimes]
- Hey, Linda, what's up?
LINDA: I'm sorry to call, Craig.
I'm still with Dario,
but my daughter's school called
and I have to get there now.
Isn't Julia home?
She texted saying she'll be late.
I keep texting her,
but she doesn't respond.
Okay, I'll come home. One second.
Deputy Director Grohl is on his way up.
Okay, Linda. Give me 20 minutes.
I'm on my way.
Okay.
- Hey.
- Oh, hey. Is this a bad time?
Uh, kinda. I gotta get home.
A family thing.
You wanna walk me downstairs?
Well, this'll just take a second.
I think we're better off in here.
Okay. What's up?
Tarkolov is in the United States.
Is the intel ours?
Yeah, we put eyes on him
a few hours ago,
and I thought you'd wanna be aware.
This can't be good.
Okay. All right.
Thanks for letting me know.
I'll look into it.
Keep me posted.
[phone chimes]
Recalibrate and cycle
the frequency range.
See what you can pick up.
It worked in Milwaukee.
I'm not saying this is the same thing,
but it's worth a shot, right?
MALE AGENT: Copy that, Bryan.
Team 2, copy.
AGENT TOM: Bryan, we've got something.
♪
Got a few waves coming in,
but not consistent.
How many hits did you get?
Been picking them up off and on
for the last three minutes.
BRYAN: So let's go check it out.
Let's get the team together.
Okay. Let's go.
♪
FINOLA: Looks like we're not the
only ones who found the Debris.
BRYAN: Call it in to base camp.
MAN: Base camp, base camp, come in.
- How we doing, Huerta?
- HUERTA: Yeah, we're good.
Only clicking in at 110.
BRYAN: This has to be Influx.
No one else could have
gotten here this fast.
Clear.
FINOLA: They must have heard us coming.
♪
♪
MUNTZ: The connection is
too far away to be stable.
But this Debris has been showing us
the access point in the field
from this location.
BRYAN: Why?
Maybe it's some sort
of navigation module?
BRYAN: Like a intergalactic GPS?
MUNTZ: I don't know, but whatever it is,
it's still trying to
function, to do its job
with whatever power is left.
If what you're saying is correct,
the spaceship used a different
dimension to travel.
And it opened the square
as an access point.
Uh, can we make it reveal
the square longer?
Like you said, contact her
and try to get her out?
The signal was weak. It barely
held the image of the dimension.
Whatever power it has left
in it, we have to preserve it.
We send it back to Orbital immediately.
[scoffs] No, we have to find a way
to get Nicole and the others out.
What we're looking at
are the first crumbs
humanity has ever had about
not only intergalactic travel,
but extra-dimensional travel.
We can't risk losing this technology
by using it on these people.
If we're not willing
to use this technology
on these people, then we're
not worthy to have it.
What if we reposition the Debris?
Bring it closer,
make the signal stronger.
We might be able to get a better signal
and see more of the access point,
- if we can do that
- Great. We'll do that.
Thank you.
- TOM: Hey, Bryan.
- BRYAN: Yeah.
Yeah, plates are no good on the pickup,
so we're gonna run the VIN.
I'll let you know.
Another piece, but it's dead.
No signatures.
[Finola sighs]
HUERTA: We'll get it loaded up.
Wow.
[instruments trilling, people shouting]
[whispering] Okay, okay. Yeah.
[instrument warbling]
Okay!
[radio static crackling]
[oscillating hum]
The perspective is shifting!
MUNTZ: I changed the angle between
the Debris and the square.
It must illuminate the access point
directly in front of it.
I'll move it closer so we can see more.
FINOLA: I can see inside. It's changed!
I can see someone!
FINOLA: I can see inside!
Wait, I can see them!
I can see them! Keep going!
FINOLA: Where's Nicole? Where is she?
Nicole! Nicole! I see her!
Nicole. Don't be frightened.
Move through it.
NICOLE: I can't reach you.
FINOLA: She still can't get out.
[distorted shouting]
Help me, please! Please!
MUNTZ: She's still trapped.
[no audible dialogue]
[device beeping]
MUNTZ: We're gonna lose it!
You said this piece
- might be used for transport.
- Yeah.
If we breach the plane
with a piece of the ship
It could open up. Tell Huerta
to get the other piece of the Debris.
MUNTZ: Hurry!
[static intensifies]
MUNTZ: The levels are climbing.
FINOLA: Okay, let it enter the square.
[Finola panting]
- BRYAN: Richard! Richard!
- NICOLE: Dad!
You can't touch her.
At least not yet. Hold on.
It's okay, Nicole.

MUNTZ: We got them! We got all of them.
Where am I?
- What's your name?
- Jean Chen.
- Where are you from, Jean?
- Boise, Idaho.
We're gonna try to
help you find your family.
- What year is it?
- 1976.
It's, uh 1989.
You said you felt your time
in there was short.
But
it felt like I was moving very slowly
through that time.
I
I was so afraid.
Lonely. That part felt like an eternity.
I thought of you, Dad.
I'd imagine that I would find you.
You would be waiting for me
in the parking lot.
Standing there.
You would be happy to see me.
And we would just hug.
And it made me feel safe.
Thank you.
I realize I tend to forget
that there's still magic
to discover in the world.
But not you. [sighs]
- I do.
- [phone beeps]
We all do sometimes.
Here. The pickup truck we found,
it was stolen yesterday
near the airport.
That's one of the guys
from Influx in New York.
- How do they keep showing up?
- Yes.
Okay. You know,
I'm gonna, um, update Ferris.
[exhales]
[phone buzzes]
What do you got?
MAN: There's a body in the grave,
but it's not George Jones.
MADDOX: Are you sure?
I just sent you something.
What am I looking at?
MAN: We picked this up from the morgue.
This was from the night
that he washed ashore.
She took his watch as a memento.
We just watched 24 minutes.
Mm-hmm. Keep watching
as the M.E. puts him away.
His watch.
Whoever replaced him didn't
realize she took it.
MAN: Right.
At this point, that's not him anymore.

things up worse than they are.

Thank you.
Hey, how'd it go? I was worried.
Shipshape.
Sometimes you get lucky.
Looks like I'm gonna be
around a little while.
You were born under a lucky star.
Oh! So you're saying
that I am the lucky one?

Spectacular. We're heading to Minnesota.
I love Minnesota.

Some phenomenon in a cell tower field.
There's not much information as yet.
The situation team is on their way.
Anything hit the ground last night?
No, not that we caught.
Um, thank you.
Seriously, for, uh
worrying about me.
Yeah. Of course.
BRYAN: I'm gonna get
a little sleep. I'm beat.
[car doors slam]
Hey.
Hey. Did you get my email?
In the file it said a utility
worker was doing repair work
- on cell phone towers.
- Yeah.
She turned, and it was just there.
- In the field.
- Where is it?
Well, that's the thing.
It just vanished.
Took this when we first
got here 30 minutes ago.
[low oscillating hum]
BRYAN: They're trying to get out.
Do you hear that sound?
That only shows up on the recording.
We didn't hear anything
like that on site.
Have we found Debris?
Not yet. No signatures.
Okay. Uh, let's do
some GPR out here too.
It's gotta be somewhere.
I'm gonna check out the field.
It's gonna be dark soon.
FINOLA: The square appeared
in the northeast areas of the field,
consisting of two dimensions.
Initial reports indicate LDRs were zero.
At timestamp marker 3:04,
beings of an unknown origin
are observable.
Agent Beneventi noted the beings
appear to be trying to get out.
And I agree.
FEMALE VOICE: Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Hello?
[distorted] Is anyone out there?
FINOLA: This got recorded
when I was doing notes.
FEMALE VOICE: Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Hello?
- That's from the static at the LDU?
- Yeah.
Is anyone out there?
- But listen to the oscillations.
- Hello?
It's the same oscillations
on the video of the square.
Is anyone out there?
It's one of the beings
from inside the square.
The square's not here anymore.
Some of our guys picked up a voice
transmission on their LDUs.
Yeah, we heard it too.
This is Muntz.
Play it.
FEMALE VOICE: I can see you.
I can see lights.
I can see lights!
Maybe what we're hearing
is a reverberation
from when the square was here.
Maybe what we're hearing
is somehow out of sync?
No way. She said, "I see your lights.
I see your lights."
There were never lights on
when the square was here.
It was daytime.
BRYAN: Could it be that it's still here,
but it's not visible?
I'm getting it again.
[radio static]
FEMALE VOICE:
I can see someone out there.
I can see people.
Can anyone hear me?
We need to find a way
- to broadcast back to it.
- Can you hear me?
We've never used the Laghari
spectrum for communication.
- We need to try and answer them.
- What's happening?
They're only built as receivers.
- [oscillating static]
- I can see you!
Please, help me.
FINOLA: We have to make contact.
[knocking on door]
Here you go. Try this.
Relays can give you
a little more control
over the modulation.
Where did you get
the parts to make this?
I don't know,
from one of these yellow cases
in the truck. I had to make do.
That was a million-dollar
piece of equipment.
Wow. This is a nice spot.
Got a lot of gadgets.
I've come across plenty like you.
Men who have also played
by their own rules.
Did you ever encounter
an agent named Kelvin?
Uh, Kelvin
Can't say that I have. Why?
He was sure he could
pick up a piece of Debris
that hadn't been fully vetted.
He was turned inside out.
Well
one of my tips for survival, Muntz,
is always let the other guy
touch the Debris first.
[burst of static]
Bryan, the square, it's here.
The square's back.
The square's back up.
Come on!
Here.
Hello.
Can you hear me?
Hello, can you hear me?
[oscillating static]
WOMAN: Yes.
Can you see me?
FINOLA: Yes, I can see you.
FINOLA: She can't hear us.
MUNTZ: Let me try something.
- FINOLA: Quickly.
- MUNTZ: I'm doing what I can.
What's your name?
[radio static]
The signal, it's getting weaker.
BRYAN: Any Debris signatures, Huerta?
- HUERTA: Nothin'.
- BRYAN: They gotta be here.
Where is it?
BRYAN: If there's no Debris,
how the hell is this happening?
What's your name?
My name is Nicole Hegmann.
Who are the people that are with you?
[static crackles]
No one is with me.
[static crackles]
It's as if she can't see them.
Can you tell me where you're from?
What happened to me?
What's happening?
[static, feedback]
Nicole Hegmann is a real missing person.
She vanished from Saline,
Michigan in 2019.
I don't know how that's possible.
The Debris only started
falling six months ago.
Thank you. Keep the change.
[line ringing]
MAN [on phone]: Come further
to the intersection.
See the black Audi?
Do you mind if we talk here?
Better than a restaurant, I think, hmm?
I, uh, admire your
situational awareness.
This is what you're looking for?
The Chinese claim they have it.
The Chinese claim a lot of things.
Listen, Tarkolov, we're all just
trying to assemble these pieces
so that we can figure
this technology out.
They wanna call it an arms race?
They're right.
And the cards on your table?
I don't know why this piece
is important to Russia.
I don't wanna know.
Anja said you were
interested in a trade.
Was she wrong?
2:30 next Friday.
Turn on the phone I gave you.
I'll have the answer
if we can get it done.
[engine starts]
BRYAN: Why hasn't it reappeared?
It makes no sense.
Maybe the people in there
are all missing persons.
But how come we can't hear all of them?
Why is it only her?
Hmm.
And how come she can see us,
but she can't see anybody else
in there with her?
I don't know.
Maybe they're all on
different frequencies?
Like a walkie-talkie?
We just happened to pick up
hers in the white noise.
What is it?
I think it's some sort of portal.
There are these Native American legends
that tell stories of people
who encounter natural arches
in the landscape
where they passed through,
and they never returned.
Maybe it's something like that.
You said you think
it might still be here,
but we can't see it.
Do you believe that?
I don't know.
My dad did.
The universe is not limited
to the three dimensions that we can see.
That there may be as many
as 11 dimensions.
And most of these dimensions
are compactified,
or or curled up so small
that we can neither see nor reach them.
What if I were to tell you
that these curled up
dimensions could be uncurled?
That there are places in our world
where they've already done so.
Access points.
Access points to vast stretches
of what you might call
unoccupied real estate
waiting for someone to
figure out how to use them.
[switch clicks]
Hey. So, um
maybe Nicole walked into
one of these things,
and the Debris is showing it to us?
Yeah, but we don't have any Debris?
Then how are we seeing it?
Your father was just saying
we can't see them.
The Debris, it has to be
Yeah, I'm sorry. Excuse me.

I'm sorry that I upset you.
Yeah, that's okay.
I just realized, I'm just
so mad at him.
But I just forget how much I miss him.
And I just wish I could, um
speak to him.
one more time.
Anyway, the one good thing
about the possibility
of my father's theory being true,
is if Nicole and
the others inadvertently
found their way into
another dimension, well,
there must be a way to get them out.
Your father created a US
Access Point Map in his files.
I cross checked the coordinates
of the dimension sites.
One of them is in Saline, Michigan,
where Nicole vanished.
And another is here.
In this field.
Your father was right.
They exist.
Access Points, waiting for someone
to figure out how to use them.
We have to embrace that
our universal geometry
may be much larger
than we ever conceived.
I have an idea.
Bryan, open up
the specimen fridge over there.
There's a rectangular blue container.
Bring it to me.
We can't locate Debris.
I have nothing to study.
I can't learn anything about
the so-called access point.
We're only seeing the square
in two dimensions.
But for Nicole, no one knows
what she's experiencing.
If we can maintain unbroken
communication with her,
I can try and understand
what she's seeing inside.
Maybe I can use
the information to help her.
When she was emotional,
the signal tended to be stronger.
Can you get her to that emotional state
- and keep her there?
- FINOLA: Um
yeah.
I might have a way.
Why am I here? What's this about?
- Mr. Hegmann
- They show up at my house,
and then they put me on
a helicopter with no answers.
They tell me you have information
about my daughter. Is she alive?
We are still gathering information.
Why don't you come in to the trailer,
and we can sit down and talk?
FINOLA: Yeah.
Who are you people?
We work for a division of the government
that investigates scientific anomalies.
FINOLA: Your daughter?
Tell me what happened
the day she disappeared.
[sighs] I was in a store near my house.
Shopping.
She left to go wait in the car.
When I got there, she was gone.
It's torture to think
what happened to her.
It just takes all of the joy
out of your life, you know?
Every time there's a knock on the door,
or the phone
you're praying that it's her.
[sighs]
It's
It's just the not knowing, the
I mean, it was just her and me.
My My wife passed away
when she was a child.
[chuckles] She was such a character.
Forgive me, Mr. Hegmann.
Are you familiar with
the Bermuda Triangle?
The concept?
[scoffs] Of course.
Now, we believe that there
other places like that.
We think your daughter Nicole
entered such a place
the day she went missing.
BRYAN: And we think she's
communicating with us from inside.
[starts recording]
[low oscillating hum]
NICOLE: Hello?
Is anyone out there?
Is there anyone out there?
I can see someone out there.
I can see the lights.
[gasping]
Help me!
[Mr. Hegmann crying]
Is it there now?
We just can't see it.
I felt she was alive.
I felt it.
I still feel connected to her.
What do you mean?
I have these recurring dreams about her.
What kind of dreams?
I would go to the parking lot
where she disappeared.
I'm alone.
I wait there.
I knew I just had to wait.
And Nicole comes and finds me.
We just hold each other.
Then I wake up and
I feel connected to her again.
Richard, we sent for you,
because we are hoping
that if we can establish
communication again with Nicole,
hearing your voice will
intensify her emotional state,
and we think it will help the signal
that we are communicating to
her with to become stronger.
It will give our scientists
a better chance
of asking her important questions
and analyzing what to do.
- Can I get closer to it?
- Yeah.
You're gonna start in on how
he felt she was alive, right?
About how his dreams told him that?
I mean, like gravity
is an unseen force
but it's here.
Maybe the bonds that we
create with each other,
maybe they're just as strong.

NICOLE: I don't know.
Tell me what happened to you.
I was walking in the parking lot
back to the car,

And then I saw this field.
It was never there before.
I I walked to it.
But now I I can't get back.

trying to for a few hours.
She thinks she's only
been gone for a few hours.
How is that possible?
NICOLE: Then I found this barrier,
and I can see the shapes
of people outside.

I don't know where I am.
Ask her, does she see any
discrepancies in the light?
Is there anything that she can identify?
RICHARD: Is there anything more you
can tell us about what you see?
Can you see anything other than a field?

Ah, thank you.
When I said I loved her

She heard you.
MUNTZ: It's conceivable time
doesn't flow at the same rate
when you move through another dimension.
But if time is moving
at a different rate,
how are we able to communicate?
Why are we synced?
I don't have an answer for you.
We can't save her.
Even when the connection
to her is strong,

BRYAN: Like a intergalactic GPS?
MUNTZ: I don't know, but whatever it is,
it's still trying to
function, to do its job
with whatever power is left.
If what you're saying is correct,
the spaceship used a different
dimension to travel.
And it opened the square
as an access point.
Uh, can we make it reveal
the square longer?
Like you said, contact her
