The Crossing (2018) s01e04 Episode Script

1 Previously on "The Crossing" - I'm not inclined to believe in - Time travel? I think it's happened before.
There was an earlier migration.
You got a boss who's keeping secrets? I told you, I didn't want him involved.
Now, do your job.
I was meant to find you.
They said if I found you, I'd be okay.
- You used to be an Apex collaborator? - [Gasps.]
- While you're in here, I own you.
- Ow.
I just want my daughter.
Let's go find her.
[Grunting.]
You left out some of the more colorful genocidal admissions from your story.
I have to weigh that! You're gonna suffer for this.
[Grunting.]
You stay right here, okay? I won't be long.
Oliver! Oliver! [GPS beeping.]
Come on.
[Tires screech.]
[Horn blares.]
[Cellphone rings.]
Oliver.
He's fine.
- Do not touch him.
- Or what? You'll lead me into another trap? You'll leave me for dead? That's not how it was supposed to go.
We're past that now.
- [Electricity buzzes.]
- [Engine starts.]
Do exactly as I say, and he'll be fine.
My daughter for your son.
We'll make the exchange tomorrow.
If you involve anyone else again I won't.
I want to hear his voice.
OLLIE: Hi, Dad.
Hey, buddy.
Are you all right? Yeah.
Where are you? Uh, well, I had to deal with some work stuff.
Remember that, uh, accident you heard at at Harborfest? That turned into a pretty big deal.
Is everyone okay? Yeah, yeah.
Everybody's okay, buddy.
But I asked my friend Reece to stay with you until I'm finished.
Okay.
Bye, Dad.
I'm gonna call you in four hours with a location.
Then we'll make the switch.
Do you understand? Before I was the sheriff of Port Canaan, I was a cop in Oakland.
I was detailed for five years to the Fugitive Apprehension Team.
We had a very high clearance rate.
Anything happens to Oliver, there's nowhere you can hide, and I'm talking on this planet.
Do you understand? [GPS beeping.]
[Tires squeal.]
[Brakes screech.]
Oliver! [Mutters.]
[Indistinct chatter.]
PAUL: You're very good.
Thank you.
How are you at faces? If I could describe someone, would you be able to draw them? I could try.
These are nodal points.
I've committed them to memory point of the chin, the corners of the mouth, the innermost point of each eye.
It has to be perfect.
Who is this person? Someone I'd like to see again.
[Birds chirping.]
So, this is where they worshipped, huh? [Woodpecker knocking in distance.]
Lot of good it did 'em.
Why do you cover it up? Your print? You were Alpha-Zulu.
You should show it.
CALEB: I don't need to be reminded.
[Chuckling.]
Of what? Killing Apex, breaking off collaborators? [Scoffs.]
I wish I had your memories.
No.
You don't.
I don't suppose you've seen Hannah around, have you? I haven't.
[Footsteps fade.]
[Sighs.]
[Metal clinking, scraping.]
[Vehicle passes.]
Do I need to remind you what happened the last time you hooked up with a tourist? Hurricane Claire.
Whatever.
Claire and I aren't even a thing.
Yeah, well, someone should tell her that.
We're having drinks tonight.
Maybe I will.
Look, anyway, I don't think this girl, Hannah, was a tourist.
I-I think she's one of those people from Thorn Beach.
One of the survivors? You know, I heard some chatter online about that.
Yeah, some DHS grunt dragged her away at the end of the day.
I mean, they must be keeping them nearby.
Where? In the mountains? She was talking about where she was staying.
Something about cabins, a lake.
Steve Lorusso told me that he got re-routed on his deer hunt yesterday, out by Longview Ridge.
The road was blocked by feds.
Now, that's curious.
Remember when we were kids, and my folks sent me to that lodge to have my behavior fixed? Camp Tamanowas.
That could be it.
What is it about this girl? I don't know.
[Ringing.]
[Scoffs.]
You've reached Emma Ren.
Please leave a message.
- [Beep.]
- [Keypad beeps.]
Agent Ren's not available.
Unh-unh.
No.
I need to see her.
You need to turn your car around is what you need to do.
I'm the sheriff of Port Canaan.
Well, then, I guess you've got somewhere to be.
Now turn your car around.
Unreal.
Right.
[Door opens.]
[Sighs.]
[Radio chatter.]
[Engine starts.]
You believe this guy? - [Engine revs.]
- Hey! Hey! Hey! We have a breach at the front gate! I repeat, we have a breach! [Engine shuts off.]
Hands where we can see them! I need to see Agent Emma Ren.
- Don't move.
- [Vehicle approaches.]
[Brakes screech.]
[Radio chatter.]
We're good.
All right.
I need your help.
Like I asked for yesterday right before you had me escorted out of the station.
She took my son.
Who? Reece.
Your Apex.
She's alive? Yeah.
- I'm gonna get a team together.
- No.
No.
This is real easy.
I get my son back in exchange for her daughter.
Her daughter? She's Leah's mother.
I can't let her leave, Jude.
Look, I bring Leah to her mother.
Her mom gives me Oliver back.
After that, you can take it up the chain of command! You can blame me for everything! Leah's not going anywhere, Jude.
[Breathing heavily.]
She's dying and highly contagious.
If she takes one step out of this tent, she'll contaminate the entire camp.
[Yawns.]
You like fishing, right? I saw the pictures at your dad's house.
Where's our poles? Our fishing poles? [Reels clicking.]
I need one of your rods.
Yeah? Well, I need a massage, so why don't you start rubbing and we'll see where it goes? [Both laugh.]
Here.
[Men groaning.]
I want to talk to my dad.
Your phone's broken.
Then I'll use yours.
[Sighs.]
Your dad's trying to find someone very important.
So, right now, he needs us to let him do his job because if he doesn't find that person, it could be very dangerous.
He'll find them.
[Door closes.]
Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Um I was wondering if I could ask you to do something for me.
A favor.
What do you want? [Paper rustles.]
To find someone.
I assume you have some sort of facial coding database.
I-I can pay you.
With what? You got no money.
[Exhales sharply.]
Well, she she does.
And if you will help me find her, she will pay you handsomely.
Sheriff Ellis.
This is Dr.
Forbin.
She's been treating Leah.
Is she as bad as she says? What she's suffering from, it has no precedent.
There's nothing I can currently do for her.
How long? Honestly, I'd be surprised if she lasts the next 48 hours.
[Monitor beeping.]
Reece is never going to believe this.
- Who? - Her mom.
Jude, can we take this outside? Why? What, she doesn't know? Okay.
Here's a quick primer.
All these people here are from the future.
Emma's boss sucks, and her biggest concern is keeping secrets.
Like Apex.
And apparently, she's not doing a very good job of it.
Look, my concern is the wellbeing of your son.
That's my concern.
So I suggest that we put out an Amber Alert first.
No.
No, no.
No.
No one else can be involved, not after what happened at the shipyard.
Look, she calls me in in one hour.
I just I need to think.
Agent Ren? [Door closes.]
[Monitor beeping.]
One of the detainees Paul gave this to me.
He asked me to run it through facial recognition.
He promised me untold riches.
You tell anybody else about this? No, ma'am.
Brought it straight to you.
Good.
[Carafe hisses, liquid pours.]
No, no, no, no, no.
Not today, Marshall.
I got information.
Is it about the guy who pulled the triple lindy off the top of the bank building last night? - No.
- Then you have nothing that I want.
Jude.
I need Jude.
- I've left three messages.
- Well, then, leave a fourth.
You're still here.
Look, I know where they're keeping those people from the beach.
[Paper thuds.]
You don't know what you're talking about.
I'll show you where they are.
A-And, in exchange, you get one of them out.
- [Sighs.]
- A girl.
Her name's Hannah.
A girl? Not any girl, she's Leave.
Now.
Before I tase you! [Sighs.]
If this little girl is gonna die [Monitor beeping.]
she should she should be with her mom.
That's what I would want if it were my kid.
I want to help you.
I do.
It's just I'm playing catch-up here.
Maybe if you told me more about Reece No, you can help me, okay? Just get her out of here.
Put Put her in a hazmat suit, something.
I need this.
I can't.
I can get a report on her condition or a picture.
Something to show her mother how serious this is.
Maybe you can tell her yourself.
I don't think Agent Ren would appreciate me leaving.
Is that your final answer? Then I'm exposing us both.
Oh, w-wait.
Hey, Paul.
Mm.
Hello.
[Paper rustles.]
Can you tell me about this? I have a guard saying that you approached him and offered him a bribe to look into this person for you.
If you stay silent, I'm gonna have to make up the rest of the story, and I'm afraid my version lands you in an isolation wing.
I've done nothing wrong.
Then tell me who she is.
What do you want with her? She's just someone I know.
Someone you know? Out there in the world? How is that possible? Okay.
Let's play it your way.
But for all I know, you could be a danger to the rest of the people in the camp, and I can't have that.
[Sighs.]
She's my wife.
Your wife? I've heard rumors about an earlier migration.
Does this have anything to do with that? Tell me the rest of the story, Paul.
When did she come here? [Scoffs lightly.]
You wouldn't believe me.
You haven't believed any of us.
That's why we're all still stuck here.
Yes, she left earlier.
[Exhales sharply.]
For all I know, she could be at the bottom of the ocean.
She could be a hundred years from here.
But I've come all this way.
I have to know.
Please.
Help me.
[Monitor beeping.]
JUDE: Hello? What are you doing, Jude? Where's my doctor? Everything's gonna be fine.
- I'll have her back when I'm done.
- [Scoffs.]
I want you to turn the car around and get back here before somebody gets hurt.
If I come back and miss this meeting, Oliver gets hurt.
After everything that's happened, don't you owe me? Agent Ren, Leah's mother could be the key to her survival, not to mention stopping this thing from getting out into the world.
She said that she helped treat her before, and I found trace amounts of foreign antibodies trying to attack the virus.
If there's any truth to this Apex phenomenon, I'm going to assume those antibodies came from Leah's mom and that treating this disease is only a small part of what she can do.
So I'm going with the sheriff willingly.
Did you get all that? I want an update every half-hour.
Yep.
Do you have any kids? A daughter.
She's 8.
How come she's not here? She's [Sighs.]
We're meeting her later.
What's her name? Leah.
That's a pretty name.
You remind me of your dad.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Here.
You try.
I don't know how.
You just cast it out.
You've seen me do it.
You've never fished before? First time.
Wow.
[Reel clicking.]
[Cellphone buzzes.]
Hello? How's Leah? I'll know in five minutes when I pick her up.
Good.
The faster you get her to me, the faster I'll be out of your life.
How's Oliver? Fine.
Let me talk to him.
At 5:00, when we make the exchange.
No, I want to hear his voice.
Just Just have him say something.
Head towards Redfish Lake.
I'll send you the exact address at 4:30.
Yeah.
All right.
He's a good boy.
But if you betray me again Hey, I don't want to hear it.
I'll come through on my end.
You just come through on yours.
Got it? Why didn't you tell her Leah's sick? Because I don't know what she'll do.
[Door opens.]
[Breathing heavily.]
[Shiv thuds.]
I don't think so.
What's going on between you and Luke? That's my business.
When your business draws unnecessary attention to the rest of us, it becomes my business, too.
Because if we're gonna get out of here, we need to act civilized.
We had a disagreement.
This looks like more than a disagreement.
He's been threatening me.
Well, you should have asked someone for help.
- It's not that simple.
- You could have come to me.
- I couldn't.
- You could have.
I couldn't! I worked with Apex.
It was just a couple times.
I gave them information.
You're a collaborator? They caught my dad on a salvage run.
Brought him to the house.
They cut his hand off in front of me and made me watch.
They said his head was next.
What was I supposed to do? I've seen your arm.
I know what you did to people like me.
So go ahead.
Do it.
I'm tired of running and lying and don't even know why I have to anymore.
Because I did what I had to to survive.
[Inhales sharply.]
We all did.
[Breathes sharply.]
Luke know about this? [Exhales sharply.]
He put his hands on you? I wasn't gonna let it get that far.
[Keyboard clacking.]
[Scanner whirs.]
[Sighs.]
[Computer beeps.]
- He trusted me.
- I dealt with the situation.
I made the call.
[Computer beeps.]
[Keypad dialing.]
Hey.
Can you do me a favor? I need a facial recognition query.
It has to be off-network.
Can't go through Homeland.
Never mind why.
Can you just do it? How much time have you spent with her mother? [Scoffs.]
More than I'd like.
And have you noticed anything unusual about her? [Sighs.]
That person I spoke to at the camp they mentioned enhancements strength, healing properties, sensory capabilities.
Yep.
You're telling me this is real.
If it is I mean, it would be like getting a glimpse of our own evolution.
She isn't our evolution.
She was made to fight, and she wants her kid back.
She's dangerous.
[Cellphone buzzes.]
Is that the location? What if she needs help? That is the number-one reason to not be in a relationship.
Every expert will tell you that.
Never mind the fact that you're already in a relationship.
You want to mope about this girl, be my guest.
I've got business.
[Rock music plays on stereo.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
You spent two hours with this girl.
I can't explain it.
All I know is, I can't stop thinking about her.
So what do you want to do? Because we're not getting in that camp.
[Drone motor buzzing.]
Maybe we don't need to get in.
What? All right.
Here we go.
[Drone beeps.]
Wait, how's she gonna know it's you? Mine's the only number stored on it.
She opens it up, she calls, and we figure out what's really going on up there.
The camp should be right over here.
There it is.
[Drone motor buzzing.]
Main lodge should be right up ahead.
Uh, dude.
Bogey, 6:00.
- [Bird squawking.]
- Say what? - Get out of there! - Yeah, I'm trying.
[Bird screeches.]
Damn it! [Sighs.]
Nature's cruel, bro.
[Birds chirping.]
Hey.
How's it going? Listen, I'm going to need you to leave Hannah alone.
Hannah? [Scoffs.]
Okay, look.
Um I don't know what she's told you, but you can't trust her.
She worked for Apex.
She sold out her own people.
We all did things we thought we had to do.
They killed my brothers! My uncle! I never even met my own parents, and she just gets to walk around?! As long as I'm here, she gets to walk around.
And if you ever step to her again, there won't be a second conversation between you and me.
I got a question.
Who made you king of the camp? I did.
[Grunts.]
I can end this right here.
Believe me.
I've done it so many times that I've lost count.
[Strained.]
Okay.
[Coughs.]
[Breathes heavily.]
Hello? Reece? REECE: Where's Leah? I couldn't bring her.
They wouldn't let me.
Then we have no deal.
She's sick, Reece.
She's really sick.
- If I if I took her out of camp - [Metal thuds.]
she'd infect other people, and they'd die.
Tell her.
I'm Dr.
Sophie Forbin.
I'm a virologist.
I've been caring for your daughter.
She has what the others at the camp call Mantle's Disease, but I think you already knew that.
You need to take me to her.
Now.
I can't get you into the camp.
That's why I brought her doctor.
This woman can't help me.
Oh, you might be surprised.
So you came all this way just to tell me that my daughter's dying? I came all this way to tell you that we did everything we could.
And that hurting my son is not gonna save Leah.
Take a look at this.
She told me you can treat her.
You've done it before, haven't you? Yes, I have.
All right, well, I assume you need certain equipment, materials.
Let me help you to create the treatment, and then I can take it back to Leah.
Give Jude his son, and take me in his place.
I can't let you do that.
If I don't go, two kids die.
There may be five other people in the country more equipped to help treat your daughter than me, so we really shouldn't waste any more time.
Where's his son? Oliver! Oliver! OLIVER: Hey, Dad.
Hey.
Hey! Ooh! [Sighs.]
I missed you.
- Dad.
- [Chuckles.]
[Breathing heavily.]
Are you okay? - You all right? - Yeah.
I'm fine.
You're fine.
Fine.
[Sighs.]
How did it go with Reece? You mean your girlfriend? What? That's why you had her babysit me, right? So I'd get to know her.
Ah.
[Clicks tongue.]
Yeah.
[Chuckles.]
You got me.
I knew it.
[Groans, sighs.]
[Exhales.]
CLAIRE: And then, out of nowhere, she books this movie.
I mean, of course she does, she's super-talented and crazy hot.
Anyway, it shoots in London, and her apartment is just gonna be sitting there, so she told me that she would sublet it to me for dirt cheap.
That's great, Claire, because Come with me.
What? We've always talked about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
It's just that I don't know if I'm ready.
You know, like, right now.
Come on.
I know you're dying to leave this place.
What are you waiting for? Let's go.
[Cellphone buzzes.]
[Rock music plays on stereo.]
[Buzzing continues.]
Sit tight.
Hannah? Who is this? [Cellphone buzzes.]
Hey.
Hey, uh, I got Oliver back.
[Sighs.]
Good.
That's a relief.
Look slight wrinkle.
Your doctor and Reece went off - to, uh, work on a treatment.
- Okay, stop.
Uh, we shouldn't be talking about this over the phone.
Okay.
Is she safe? Yeah, I think so.
Um, I'll come by the station tomorrow morning.
We'll talk then? Okay.
Hey, buddy.
High-low time.
All right.
[Sighs.]
You want to go first, or should I? - I'll go first.
- Okay.
My high was going fishing.
Oh, yeah? Huh.
The next time, just you and me, okay? But I'm a little rusty.
That's okay.
I'll help you when we go.
- Promise? - I promise.
And my low was not getting to spend any time with you today.
Yeah.
I'm sorry about that.
That was my low, too.
Dad? Hm? Can I say something and not get in trouble? Ollie, you can always tell me anything.
I think you can meet someone better than Reece.
You know, as a girlfriend.
She didn't even know we needed fishing poles.
[Chuckles.]
She didn't? Well, then, I definitely need to find someone better.
Will you help me? You know, maybe you know somebody.
- [Laughs.]
Dad.
- [Chuckles.]
This is my high.
Right now.
[Brakes screech lightly.]
EMMA: 6630.
[Doorbell rings.]
Can I help you? I'm Agent Ren with Homeland Security.
Okay.
What's this about? I've come into contact with someone who's searching for you.
Do you know this man? [Voice breaking.]
Oh, my God.
Paul.
[Exhales sharply.]
He's my husband.
Do you mind if I come in and ask you some questions? [Sighs.]
GRETA: We were married for nine years.
No problems.
Then one afternoon, he comes home from work and says he hasn't been happy, that he's leaving.
Did he have a reason? He kept talking about these people that he'd met, how they made him feel.
The way they looked at the world Kept saying that we weren't living our best life.
He even tried to get me to go to one of the meetings with him.
Did you go? [Scoffs.]
No.
I tried to explain to him they were just love-bombing him.
He didn't want to listen.
Love bombing? It's something [Sighs.]
that these cults do to create a positive association in your mind with these events they're throwing and your positive feelings.
I read everything I could on the subject, tried to get him out of there.
So Paul is in a cult? Yes.
Isn't that why you're here? He and the people he's with Claim to be from the future? [Scoffs.]
Yeah.
I met him at Hofstra.
Friend set us up.
[Sighs.]
He got a job on Wall Street, opened his own financial advisory business.
I used to think the strangest thing about him was he he would write his initials in the labels of all his shirts in case they were misplaced.
In a million years, I never would have predicted that this is where he would end up.
Not in a million years.
I'm sorry.
Do you have any more information about this group? I have some old pamphlets from when they were just a storefront self-awareness group and Paul's letters, disassociating from me, his family, our friends.
Could I see them? Absolutely.
[Breathes deeply.]
[Heart beating rapidly.]
[Gunshot.]
[Groans.]
[Exhales sharply.]
[Body thuds.]
[Groans.]
[Breathing shallowly.]
