Zero Hour s01e04 Episode Script
Chain
Previously on "zero hour" They're breaking in.
We know who might have her.
He's the highest end mercenary in the world.
It's about a clock.
1938.
The church has appointed 12 new apostles And entrust them with the ultimate secret.
They call themselves "the shepherds.
" Their mission is to protect the holiest of relics.
I saw something-- something I can't explain.
Plane blows up.
Your husband's on it.
And suddenly you just wanna put a bullet in the bomber's head.
You didn't know any of their names.
They were just collateral damage.
So you're right, and maybe he wasn't just collateral damage.
3 is the number of the trinity-- The son, the spirit, and god.
As man grows near the truth, he'll find all he knows Is a fraud.
Godspeed.
They're here.
I always knew you were a devout man, But not this devout.
Church before reich? That's a capital offense.
What's in the box, hmm? That a man would turn traitor against the fuhrer? Against the most powerful country The world has ever known? You don't know what power is.
Said on the wrong end of a-- Sorry I'm late.
And the other clocks? Delivered safely? Going to the other ten apostles as we speak.
How long do we stay hidden? Till the storm out there is past.
They say the reich will last a thousand years.
Then we'll be patient, Pass down what we know From one generation to the next.
We are 2 in a chain of 12.
If any one of us weakens or falls, The whole chain comes undone, And what we have back there is lost forever.
What do you think? I think they should have brought more trucks.
Did you really mean that if any of us falls, The whole chain comes undone? I've gotta get you to a hospital.
Your concern for me is heartwarming.
I'm taking you to a hospital now, okay? I'm not that stupid.
I go to the hospital, I lose you.
I lose you, I have nothing to bargain with.
And right now I'm very much in a bargaining mind-set.
Hello? Hank.
Hank, honey.
Laila, talk to me.
I love you.
Listen, You have to list-- Are you okay? Oh, I'm sweet as a georgia peach, Brother.
Put her back on.
You want her, I want the clock.
It's yours.
Just tell me where to meet you.
Thing is, I'm, uh, a bit indisposed.
As such, uh, I won't have time to hunt down clocks.
So I'm gonna let you do that for me.
What? The clock you currently have, And the next one.
I give you my word, hank.
If you do this, You get your wife.
Your word? I don't lie, brother.
Two clocks, Or two bullets to her temple.
It's your choice.
I-I-I need time.
I'll give you three days.
No, that's not enough.
Oh, let's pray you're wrong about that, brother.
I need access To the case files on russiyana 71.
Ugh.
My husband was on that flight.
It is my right.
Your right? You're given intel as it best serves the bureau, I thought we stopped having this conversation three years ago.
Vincent told me that my husband was a target of the bombing.
My husband was a doctor, a volunteer.
Vincent's profile-- what does it tell us? That he's a master manipulator.
He lies.
He plays head games.
So your vision when it comes to him is clouded.
Huh? Where is he right now? I'm gonna tell you this one last time-- The files on russiyana 71 are closed.
There are no answers to vincent there.
You want answers about your husband? Go out there.
Get vincent yourself, And get them from him In the real world, Not in the past.
Come on.
What are you hiding? No diamonds, no codes, Nothing glow-in-the-dark.
Here's what I don't get-- If these people, these shepherds, Are trying to keep something so important hidden, Then why leave a trail of clues behind Buried in all these clocks? Maybe it's like a child-proof cap-- They're just trying to keep the wrong people From opening it.
Whoa.
What happened? This gear There's something wrong with it.
It's not supposed to bend like that.
Huh.
I thought german engineers Were all about delivering perfection.
Gold.
Why would they make a clock gear out of gold? What's that? I think it's a jeweler's mark.
Actually, it's a smuggler's mark.
That's how people used to move money out of countries.
They'd smuggle it out as gold in the shape of ordinary objects.
In this case, I don't think the mark is important.
I found something far more interesting.
Every gear in this clock Is made with different metal-- gold, silver, tin-- Which is obviously not even remotely functional.
But, uh, why would it be inside the clock? Don't ask.
Anyhow I made you a list of all the clock gears And the corresponding metals.
Thanks, tom.
You are a titan.
Well, maybe the apostle's name is a metal-- Like gold--goldman-- or--or silver.
Maybe it's magnesium or radium.
Hey.
Hey, wait a second.
Maybe it's not about the metals.
Maybe it's about the symbols.
Every gear is made of a different metal.
All right, chemistry.
Every metal has a corresponding element.
Every element has a symbol.
Gold is "au.
" Silver is "ag," I think? I don't know.
Tungsten? What is that? "w.
" Yeah.
All right, everybody on their feet! Anybody who's good at boggle, word games, Words, scrabble, anything like that, This is your chance to earn an extra week of pay.
We have one hour to figure this out.
No.
"mascara war"? Sorry.
Uh No.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Nice try.
I realized if you look inside the clock, The gears are already in an order, So that's how I assembled the symbols-- From top to bottom.
Now you just ignore the lower-case letters, And you're left with this.
Add two periods and two commas, And you have "w.
Craig," a name, "wismar, germany," a place.
You--you are gigantic.
You are Mwah! No, no.
You guys go straight to the airport.
No, I just gotta stop by And get my passport and a couple other things.
I'll be there in an hour.
I think we better have a conversation, mr.
Galliston.
Who are you, And what the hell are you doing in my house? I'm a friend of father mickle's.
I believe he told you about our meeting.
I apologize for coming to you like this, But I wanted us to speak Where I knew no one would be watching.
Watching? The shepherds have sworn to protect the clocks And what they lead to, by any means necessary.
Here's the thing-- I don't care.
I just want my wife back.
And if a guy with a gun is holding it to my wife's head And he tells me to get a clock, That I am going to get that clock by any means necessary.
There are things in the world More dangerous than a guy with a gun.
You would have me just stand by and do nothing And watch her die? For the needs of the many, There must sometimes be sacrifices from the few.
Attagirl.
You need help.
You need help! You're not gonna try And take that bullet out yourself, are you? That's madness.
It's been said There's a fine line Between genius and madness.
What say We cross that line together, huh? We are hunting a wounded animal here.
I want every single traffic camera In 200 miles on a 30-second interval.
You find him, you follow him.
Are we clear? Paige, you got a minute? I need to ask you a favor.
I need you to pull some of the old files on vincent, Starting with everything that we've got On the flight 71 bombing.
Uh, I don't even come close To having authorized access to those files.
Well, find a way.
They won't let me anywhere near those files.
But you, they won't suspect.
Uh, I could-- I could lose my job.
You're a conspiracy girl, right? Right? I've seen you at the magazine With that guy arron.
Somebody is hiding something.
This is a real-life mystery, paige, Right in your wheelhouse.
What do you say we figure it out together? Uh I can't.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
I can't lose my job.
Town records are in the church.
Hmm.
I guess that's how you do things When you have a population of 1,200.
Did the church say they have anything on w.
Craig? The records aren't digitized, so they have to do it by hand.
We've got a holy indian woman and Albert einstein.
Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing.
How do you become one of the 12 apostles? To be one of the holiest people in the world? I I am a nobody, brother.
Let me die.
No.
You are 1 of 12.
You are more powerful than chancellors, Presidents, even the fuhrer.
A travel agent more powerful than the fuhrer? One who spent five years in prison For his christian beliefs.
Displayed unsurpassed patience.
You make patience sound like a weapon.
Properly wielded, it is.
We need a doctor.
One that will not report to the nazis.
Go.
I gather you are the americans? That--that's right.
Did you find anything? Mm.
Stay with me.
You can't do this.
The chain won't hold.
There must be 12.
I'm being patient But I fear death is not.
It took a bit to locate w.
Craig, But he's here.
He's here? You--you mean his records? No.
In this case, I mean him.
His body, anyhow.
His soul, I trust, is on high.
You managed to take care of that leg, But you've still got a bullet in your back.
Look, I know something about bullet wounds.
My father was an e.
R.
Doctor.
He always said to me if a shooting victim Makes it to the e.
R.
Alive, It's not the bullet that usually kills him.
It's the infection.
Whiskey is not a proper antiseptic.
I recognize what you're trying to accomplish.
You're endeavoring to make a human connection To soften your capture.
It won't work.
Well, that's up to you, isn't it? Frankly, ma'am, I'm weary of listening to you try.
And I trust This will discourage you from any further attempts To make human connection, huh? I'm sorry.
I had no idea.
I didn't understand.
Having to hide yourself away from the world like that, The isolation you must have gone through.
I'm sorry.
You are a stubborn one.
Oy.
Yeah? There has been a change in plans.
Your wife managed to convinced me, Due to severity of my injuries, I have little time to spare.
Which is why I now request The clock be in my hands by this time tomorrow.
It's not here by then, she dies.
Aah! Vincent.
Nothing more to say? Good.
"may another take his place of leadership.
Genesis 52.
" What do you say, we go frankenstein on it, Dig it up? Please.
If you saw a dead body, you'd crap yourself.
Death certificate.
Look who paid for the burial.
Well, there's our connection.
We're in the right place.
What do you say? Two shovels, get to work? I don't think the father's gonna go for that.
And the thing is, I don't think the clock is here, anyway.
Hmm? The epitaph.
That quote--it's about matthias, right? The 13th apostle.
The one that replaced judas.
And our guy dies right when this thing is started.
And the new apostles Are supposed to go out into the world, Stay hidden.
You can't do that if you're dead.
They would have needed a replacement.
Where the hell do you find a replacement In the middle of nazi germany? This a fisherman's bar? I need a boat.
Tonight.
Most of these men are so drunk, They would fill the bilge And put you on the seafloor inside of an hour.
Not me, sir.
What is your name? Kipske, sir.
Walter kipske.
You a soldier, kipske? Loyal to fatherland and fuhrer.
Loyal? Yes, sir.
Both those words don't mean what you think they do.
Sir? Your boat.
Where is it? I need to make a crossing tonight.
We have got to figure this out.
We have less than 20 hours, And it's gonna take seven hours just to fly back.
I know.
It's just we usually have a clue Or a puzzle or something to go on.
All we got right now is a-a quote from the bible.
I'm not even sure we have that.
What do you mean? Well, we're talking about matthias Being judas' replacement, right? That would mean he'd show up in the new testament, But genes is from the old testament.
All right, well, look up genesis 52.
I mean, maybe we've got the wrong quote.
There is no genesis 52.
It doesn't exist.
Oh, hold on.
It's beck.
Listen, I'll meet you guys back at the hotel, okay? Don't talk to anybody about anything.
I want you to come to me, understand? Yeah.
Yeah.
Hello? You make it to germany yet? Like you don't track me? Maybe a little.
What's in germany? Next clock.
Vincent's making me chase it down for him.
Any progress? Not unless genesis 52 means something to you.
That's a biblical passage, isn't it? Nope.
Rock band from the '80s? I'm serious, beck.
So am I.
Look, if I've learned anything from you Solving these riddles, it's that the answer Is never what you think it is.
Genesis 52, it could be anything.
A street address? Hank? You there? I'll call you back.
Oh! If you don't remove the bullet, You'll bleed out! Do you understand? Oh, shut up.
God, let me help you! Help me?! Lose the halo, will you? You're only trying to help yourself.
Ugh! You know full well If die, so do you, tied to that pole.
You'd die of dehydration next to my body.
That's what you're really scared of.
People are only in it for themselves.
Aah! Hello? Anybody here? Hello! Uhh! There are tools in the clock-making kit.
They're fine enough.
I could remove that bullet.
How did he ever live with you? Your determination is grating.
You've taken me from my husband, Robbed me of my dignity, But the one thing you can't have is my sense of grace-- The instinct to act with kindness Where no kindness is warranted, To love one's enemy.
And I Most assuredly Your enemy.
If you made me hate you, you'd win.
And like hell I'm gonna let you win.
If you try anything Anything My reaction will have no grace in it.
A dying man doesn't just disappear into thin air.
Somebody somewhere must have something.
Vincent's got two bullets in him.
I put 'em there.
Check the hospitals.
Well, check them again.
Beck? I got nothing, paige.
Right when I should be closest, I'm furthest away.
Maybe not.
I can't help you with vincent, But I thought about it, and what it must be like To lose someone and not know the truth.
Thank you, paige.
Hank's still not answering.
Well, he's gotta be around here somewhere.
Try him again.
Oh! Why are you on my boat? You're a shepherd.
I know-- I know about the clocks.
Ooh! What's in the box? Best you don't know.
Start the boat.
Who are they after? Start the damn boat.
Help me here first.
What are you doing? It's you they're looking for, isn't it? Who are you? Who are you? Uhh! Who are you?! Someone who's come from far away In good will To find an apostle.
A clock.
That means nothing to me, you understand? Why did you come here? Look for yourself.
In there.
You're a traitor.
You're a traitor to your country! There's a higher calling than country.
A higher calling than the reich? You should burn for that! And you will.
You call out now, I will burn.
But only for a brief moment.
Then I'll be dead.
You, though, would burn forever.
You want to know what's in the box? You! Have you seen any soldiers on the docks? Speak up! Have you seen any soldiers? What are you doing out here so late, boy? I need to ready the boat for my father.
They're heading out on the morning tide.
Where did you get this? Where did you get this? I said, where did you get this? I know about the clocks, About the new apostles, How one leads to the next.
The next clock is here, right? I've come too far.
Too much on the line.
You've got to tell me! You?! How do I know you didn't steal this, huh? These clocks belong only to the 12.
Now you are either one of the 12 Or you are a thief.
I'm--I'm not a thief.
Ah.
So then he's one of the 12.
Good-bye, thief.
Stop.
No.
I know that face anywhere.
Can it really be you? Ah! Oh! Got it.
I got it.
Lucky for you I value life above all else, Even if that life tries really hard not to warrant it.
I'm fully aware of your true motives.
True motives? I counted seven tools when we began, And all capable to cut through your binds.
And now Still seven.
What? You thought I planned on escaping? I would have.
Thank you.
If I knew less, I'd say it's a ghost I'm seeing.
But I know it's the work of the holy ghost, Even if I don't know how.
You have suffered.
For that I am deeply sorry.
Thank you.
No, it is I who should thank you For setting me on the path of righteousness.
Uh I-I'm not korbin sturm.
This is where you wanted to come? There is nothing here.
Patience.
You see nothing now.
Even in darkness, when there's no way forward, You must have patience.
What's this? It's 1 of 12 that will one day Lead those sworn to protect them to this holy relic, Its new resting place.
I-I'm not ready for this.
You have to be.
Fate, in this moment, has chosen you.
Now you've got to learn One of the most noble and difficult of virtues-- Patience.
But when will I know? You'll know.
You counseled patience.
For years, I didn't know what that meant.
I waited here.
I kept this slip, I kept this boat afloat, Not knowing for what.
Now I do.
You said something to me, That I didn't know what death meant.
Only now do I realize How right you were.
Hey, we thought we'd lost you, man.
We're at the dock.
What slip is it? Oh, hey, there you are.
Oh, my god! No, I'm--I'm okay.
Well, you don't look okay.
I'm okay.
Yeah.
So listen-- I booked a flight.
I'm heading back to n.
Y.
C.
Tonight.
But there's only one seat, so you guys will go tomorrow.
Someone has offered to put you up for the night.
He's gonna keep an eye on you.
I couldn't think of better hands.
The clocks.
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to new york city.
You are now free to use your personal electronic devices, And the pilot has turned off the "fasten seat belt" sign.
Oh.
We did it.
Ohh.
Shh.
Sweetie, it's okay.
What are you thinking? Just about all the empty promises People make when they're in love.
You know, "I'd do anything.
Go to the ends of the earth.
Slay dragons.
" but you You did those things for me.
Thank you, my love.
Those clocks-- What are we gonna do with them? Get rid of them.
He'll come for them.
He'll kill you.
Something is going on, laila.
Something I can't explain.
That man that I saw in the sub-- I'm telling you he had my face.
People know things about me that I don't.
It's all attached to the clocks.
Hank, he will kill you.
I love you.
That's all you need to know.
Just let this go.
I've spent 20 years running that magazine, Searching for the great story, the big secret.
And it wasn't there.
And now I'm wondering if it finally is.
There's no big secret, okay? There's just you and me.
Two of the most boring but content people in the world.
That is what's real.
See it, please.
I see it.
I see it.
I see it.
Right here, I see it.
Mmm.
You see this f.
A.
A.
Joint investigation file? No.
Find something? Ah, more curious than anything.
You've heard of lucky people Who miss planes and boats that later crashed or sank? Sure.
9/11.
Titanic.
He called me that day-- my husband, On his way to the airport, Convinced that he was gonna miss that flight.
Told him to hang tough.
He wasn't gonna make it.
I guess the traffic eased up.
Why couldn't it have been him? Why couldn't he have been the lucky one That missed flight 71? There was a lucky one.
What do you mean? The flight was full.
The flight was booked full.
But someone didn't make it in time.
One seat didn't get filled.
The seat right next to your husband's.
I want the passport.
Hank, call me as soon as you get this.
You have to call me.
H.
Q.
's tracked his phone.
- He's here in manhattan.
- The marbury hotel.
You know, there's one thing we've been tiptoeing around.
You want to know what was in the box.
Uh-huh.
What all these clocks lead to.
For centuries, men have fought to control it.
Where is she? What the hell are you doing? She's gone! It came from a place of death Yet brought eternal life, Just as it did on that hilltop 2,000 years ago.
The true cross of christ Was the last thing the lord touched on earth Before he both died and was born into eternity.
Maybe she stepped out.
She didn't step out.
She lied.
What are you talking about? The clocks.
Where are they? Did she take 'em? Where are the clocks? Hank, listen to me.
Everything you think you know is a lie.
What are you talking about? My husband's flight.
One passenger was supposed to be on it that wasn't.
She was an australian woman named anna massey.
What does that have to do with laila? Everything.
The true cross.
It is destruction and salvation.
It is the doorway To god.
We know who might have her.
He's the highest end mercenary in the world.
It's about a clock.
1938.
The church has appointed 12 new apostles And entrust them with the ultimate secret.
They call themselves "the shepherds.
" Their mission is to protect the holiest of relics.
I saw something-- something I can't explain.
Plane blows up.
Your husband's on it.
And suddenly you just wanna put a bullet in the bomber's head.
You didn't know any of their names.
They were just collateral damage.
So you're right, and maybe he wasn't just collateral damage.
3 is the number of the trinity-- The son, the spirit, and god.
As man grows near the truth, he'll find all he knows Is a fraud.
Godspeed.
They're here.
I always knew you were a devout man, But not this devout.
Church before reich? That's a capital offense.
What's in the box, hmm? That a man would turn traitor against the fuhrer? Against the most powerful country The world has ever known? You don't know what power is.
Said on the wrong end of a-- Sorry I'm late.
And the other clocks? Delivered safely? Going to the other ten apostles as we speak.
How long do we stay hidden? Till the storm out there is past.
They say the reich will last a thousand years.
Then we'll be patient, Pass down what we know From one generation to the next.
We are 2 in a chain of 12.

I go to the hospital, I lose you.
I lose you, I have nothing to bargain with.
And right now I'm very much in a bargaining mind-set.
Hello? Hank.
Hank, honey.
Laila, talk to me.
I love you.
Listen, You have to list-- Are you okay? Oh, I'm sweet as a georgia peach, Brother.
Put her back on.
You want her, I want the clock.
It's yours.
Just tell me where to meet you.
Thing is, I'm, uh, a bit indisposed.
As such, uh, I won't have time to hunt down clocks.
So I'm gonna let you do that for me.
What? The clock you currently have, And the next one.
I give you my word, hank.
If you do this, You get your wife.
Your word? I don't lie, brother.
Two clocks, Or two bullets to her temple.
It's your choice.
I-I-I need time.
I'll give you three days.
No, that's not enough.
Oh, let's pray you're wrong about that, brother.
I need access To the case files on russiyana 71.
Ugh.
My husband was on that flight.
It is my right.
Your right? You're given intel as it best serves the bureau, I thought we stopped having this conversation three years ago.
Vincent told me that my husband was a target of the bombing.
My husband was a doctor, a volunteer.
Vincent's profile-- what does it tell us? That he's a master manipulator.
He lies.
He plays head games.
So your vision when it comes to him is clouded.
Huh? Where is he right now? I'm gonna tell you this one last time-- The files on russiyana 71 are closed.
There are no answers to vincent there.
You want answers about your husband? Go out there.
Get vincent yourself, And get them from him In the real world, Not in the past.
Come on.
What are you hiding? No diamonds, no codes, Nothing glow-in-the-dark.
Here's what I don't get-- If these people, these shepherds, Are trying to keep something so important hidden, Then why leave a trail of clues behind Buried in all these clocks? Maybe it's like a child-proof cap-- They're just trying to keep the wrong people From opening it.
Whoa.
What happened? This gear There's something wrong with it.
It's not supposed to bend like that.
Huh.
I thought german engineers Were all about delivering perfection.
Gold.

Every metal has a corresponding element.

Gold is "au.

All right, everybody on their feet! Anybody who's good at boggle, word games, Words, scrabble, anything like that, This is your chance to earn an extra week of pay.
We have one hour to figure this out.
No.
"mascara war"? Sorry.
Uh No.
Sorry.
Thank you.
Nice try.
I realized if you look inside the clock, The gears are already in an order, So that's how I assembled the symbols-- From top to bottom.
Now you just ignore the lower-case letters, And you're left with this.

Watching? The shepherds have sworn to protect the clocks And what they lead to, by any means necessary.
Here's the thing-- I don't care.
I just want my wife back.
And if a guy with a gun is holding it to my wife's head And he tells me to get a clock, That I am going to get that clock by any means necessary.
There are things in the world More dangerous than a guy with a gun.
You would have me just stand by and do nothing And watch her die? For the needs of the many, There must sometimes be sacrifices from the few.
Attagirl.
You need help.
You need help! You're not gonna try And take that bullet out yourself, are you? That's madness.

What say We cross that line together, huh? We are hunting a wounded animal here.
I want every single traffic camera In 200 miles on a 30-second interval.
You find him, you follow him.
Are we clear? Paige, you got a minute? I need to ask you a favor.
I need you to pull some of the old files on vincent, Starting with everything that we've got On the flight 71 bombing.
Uh, I don't even come close To having authorized access to those files.
Well, find a way.
They won't let me anywhere near those files.
But you, they won't suspect.
Uh, I could-- I could lose my job.
You're a conspiracy girl, right? Right? I've seen you at the magazine With that guy arron.
Somebody is hiding something.
This is a real-life mystery, paige, Right in your wheelhouse.
What do you say we figure it out together? Uh I can't.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
I can't lose my job.
Town records are in the church.
Hmm.
I guess that's how you do things When you have a population of 1,200.
Did the church say they have anything on w.
Craig? The records aren't digitized, so they have to do it by hand.
We've got a holy indian woman and Albert einstein.
Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing.
How do you become one of the 12 apostles? To be one of the holiest people in the world? I I am a nobody, brother.
Let me die.
No.
You are 1 of 12.
You are more powerful than chancellors, Presidents, even the fuhrer.
A travel agent more powerful than the fuhrer? One who spent five years in prison For his christian beliefs.
Displayed unsurpassed patience.
You make patience sound like a weapon.
Properly wielded, it is.
We need a doctor.
One that will not report to the nazis.
Go.
I gather you are the americans? That--that's right.
Did you find anything? Mm.
Stay with me.
You can't do this.
The chain won't hold.
There must be 12.
I'm being patient But I fear death is not.
It took a bit to locate w.
Craig, But he's here.
He's here? You--you mean his records? No.
In this case, I mean him.
His body, anyhow.
His soul, I trust, is on high.
You managed to take care of that leg, But you've still got a bullet in your back.
Look, I know something about bullet wounds.
My father was an e.
R.
Doctor.
He always said to me if a shooting victim Makes it to the e.
R.
Alive, It's not the bullet that usually kills him.
It's the infection.
Whiskey is not a proper antiseptic.
I recognize what you're trying to accomplish.
You're endeavoring to make a human connection To soften your capture.
It won't work.
Well, that's up to you, isn't it? Frankly, ma'am, I'm weary of listening to you try.
And I trust This will discourage you from any further attempts To make human connection, huh? I'm sorry.
I had no idea.
I didn't understand.
Having to hide yourself away from the world like that, The isolation you must have gone through.
I'm sorry.
You are a stubborn one.
Oy.
Yeah? There has been a change in plans.
Your wife managed to convinced me, Due to severity of my injuries, I have little time to spare.
Which is why I now request The clock be in my hands by this time tomorrow.
It's not here by then, she dies.
Aah! Vincent.
Nothing more to say? Good.
"may another take his place of leadership.
Genesis 52.
" What do you say, we go frankenstein on it, Dig it up? Please.
If you saw a dead body, you'd crap yourself.
Death certificate.
Look who paid for the burial.
Well, there's our connection.
We're in the right place.
What do you say? Two shovels, get to work? I don't think the father's gonna go for that.
And the thing is, I don't think the clock is here, anyway.
Hmm? The epitaph.
That quote--it's about matthias, right? The 13th apostle.
The one that replaced judas.
And our guy dies right when this thing is started.
And the new apostles Are supposed to go out into the world, Stay hidden.
You can't do that if you're dead.
They would have needed a replacement.
Where the hell do you find a replacement In the middle of nazi germany? This a fisherman's bar? I need a boat.
Tonight.
Most of these men are so drunk, They would fill the bilge And put you on the seafloor inside of an hour.
Not me, sir.
What is your name? Kipske, sir.
Walter kipske.
You a soldier, kipske? Loyal to fatherland and fuhrer.
Loyal? Yes, sir.
Both those words don't mean what you think they do.
Sir? Your boat.
Where is it? I need to make a crossing tonight.
We have got to figure this out.
We have less than 20 hours, And it's gonna take seven hours just to fly back.
I know.
It's just we usually have a clue Or a puzzle or something to go on.
All we got right now is a-a quote from the bible.
I'm not even sure we have that.
What do you mean? Well, we're talking about matthias Being judas' replacement, right? That would mean he'd show up in the new testament, But genes is from the old testament.
All right, well, look up genesis 52.
I mean, maybe we've got the wrong quote.
There is no genesis 52.
It doesn't exist.
Oh, hold on.
It's beck.
Listen, I'll meet you guys back at the hotel, okay? Don't talk to anybody about anything.
I want you to come to me, understand? Yeah.
Yeah.
Hello? You make it to germany yet? Like you don't track me? Maybe a little.
What's in germany? Next clock.
Vincent's making me chase it down for him.
Any progress? Not unless genesis 52 means something to you.
That's a biblical passage, isn't it? Nope.
Rock band from the '80s? I'm serious, beck.
So am I.
Look, if I've learned anything from you Solving these riddles, it's that the answer Is never what you think it is.
Genesis 52, it could be anything.
A street address? Hank? You there? I'll call you back.
Oh! If you don't remove the bullet, You'll bleed out! Do you understand? Oh, shut up.
God, let me help you! Help me?! Lose the halo, will you? You're only trying to help yourself.
Ugh! You know full well If die, so do you, tied to that pole.
You'd die of dehydration next to my body.
That's what you're really scared of.
People are only in it for themselves.
Aah! Hello? Anybody here? Hello! Uhh! There are tools in the clock-making kit.
They're fine enough.
I could remove that bullet.
How did he ever live with you? Your determination is grating.
You've taken me from my husband, Robbed me of my dignity, But the one thing you can't have is my sense of grace-- The instinct to act with kindness Where no kindness is warranted, To love one's enemy.
And I Most assuredly Your enemy.
If you made me hate you, you'd win.
And like hell I'm gonna let you win.
If you try anything Anything My reaction will have no grace in it.
A dying man doesn't just disappear into thin air.
Somebody somewhere must have something.
Vincent's got two bullets in him.
I put 'em there.
Check the hospitals.
Well, check them again.
Beck? I got nothing, paige.
Right when I should be closest, I'm furthest away.
Maybe not.
I can't help you with vincent, But I thought about it, and what it must be like To lose someone and not know the truth.
Thank you, paige.
Hank's still not answering.
Well, he's gotta be around here somewhere.
Try him again.
Oh! Why are you on my boat? You're a shepherd.
I know-- I know about the clocks.
Ooh! What's in the box? Best you don't know.
Start the boat.
Who are they after? Start the damn boat.
Help me here first.
What are you doing? It's you they're looking for, isn't it? Who are you? Who are you? Uhh! Who are you?! Someone who's come from far away In good will To find an apostle.
A clock.
That means nothing to me, you understand? Why did you come here? Look for yourself.
In there.
You're a traitor.
You're a traitor to your country! There's a higher calling than country.
A higher calling than the reich? You should burn for that! And you will.
You call out now, I will burn.
But only for a brief moment.
Then I'll be dead.
You, though, would burn forever.
You want to know what's in the box? You! Have you seen any soldiers on the docks? Speak up! Have you seen any soldiers? What are you doing out here so late, boy? I need to ready the boat for my father.
They're heading out on the morning tide.
Where did you get this? Where did you get this? I said, where did you get this? I know about the clocks, About the new apostles, How one leads to the next.
The next clock is here, right? I've come too far.
Too much on the line.
You've got to tell me! You?! How do I know you didn't steal this, huh? These clocks belong only to the 12.
Now you are either one of the 12 Or you are a thief.
I'm--I'm not a thief.
Ah.
So then he's one of the 12.
Good-bye, thief.
Stop.
No.
I know that face anywhere.
Can it really be you? Ah! Oh! Got it.
I got it.
Lucky for you I value life above all else, Even if that life tries really hard not to warrant it.
I'm fully aware of your true motives.
True motives? I counted seven tools when we began, And all capable to cut through your binds.
And now Still seven.
What? You thought I planned on escaping? I would have.
Thank you.
If I knew less, I'd say it's a ghost I'm seeing.
But I know it's the work of the holy ghost, Even if I don't know how.
You have suffered.
For that I am deeply sorry.
Thank you.
No, it is I who should thank you For setting me on the path of righteousness.
Uh I-I'm not korbin sturm.
This is where you wanted to come? There is nothing here.
Patience.
You see nothing now.
Even in darkness, when there's no way forward, You must have patience.
What's this? It's 1 of 12 that will one day Lead those sworn to protect them to this holy relic, Its new resting place.
I-I'm not ready for this.
You have to be.
Fate, in this moment, has chosen you.
Now you've got to learn One of the most noble and difficult of virtues-- Patience.
But when will I know? You'll know.
You counseled patience.
For years, I didn't know what that meant.
I waited here.
I kept this slip, I kept this boat afloat, Not knowing for what.
Now I do.
You said something to me, That I didn't know what death meant.
Only now do I realize How right you were.
Hey, we thought we'd lost you, man.
We're at the dock.
What slip is it? Oh, hey, there you are.
Oh, my god! No, I'm--I'm okay.
Well, you don't look okay.
I'm okay.
Yeah.
So listen-- I booked a flight.
I'm heading back to n.
Y.
C.
Tonight.
But there's only one seat, so you guys will go tomorrow.
Someone has offered to put you up for the night.
He's gonna keep an eye on you.
I couldn't think of better hands.
The clocks.
Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to new york city.
You are now free to use your personal electronic devices, And the pilot has turned off the "fasten seat belt" sign.
Oh.
We did it.
Ohh.
Shh.
Sweetie, it's okay.
What are you thinking? Just about all the empty promises People make when they're in love.
You know, "I'd do anything.
Go to the ends of the earth.
Slay dragons.
" but you You did those things for me.
Thank you, my love.
Those clocks-- What are we gonna do with them? Get rid of them.
He'll come for them.
He'll kill you.
Something is going on, laila.
Something I can't explain.
That man that I saw in the sub-- I'm telling you he had my face.
People know things about me that I don't.
It's all attached to the clocks.
Hank, he will kill you.
I love you.
That's all you need to know.
Just let this go.
I've spent 20 years running that magazine, Searching for the great story, the big secret.
And it wasn't there.
And now I'm wondering if it finally is.
There's no big secret, okay? There's just you and me.
Two of the most boring but content people in the world.
That is what's real.
See it, please.
I see it.
I see it.
I see it.
Right here, I see it.
Mmm.
You see this f.
A.
A.
Joint investigation file? No.
Find something? Ah, more curious than anything.
You've heard of lucky people Who miss planes and boats that later crashed or sank? Sure.
9/11.
Titanic.
He called me that day-- my husband, On his way to the airport, Convinced that he was gonna miss that flight.
Told him to hang tough.
He wasn't gonna make it.
I guess the traffic eased up.
Why couldn't it have been him? Why couldn't he have been the lucky one That missed flight 71? There was a lucky one.
What do you mean? The flight was full.
The flight was booked full.
But someone didn't make it in time.
One seat didn't get filled.
The seat right next to your husband's.
I want the passport.
Hank, call me as soon as you get this.
You have to call me.
H.
Q.
's tracked his phone.
- He's here in manhattan.
- The marbury hotel.
You know, there's one thing we've been tiptoeing around.
You want to know what was in the box.
Uh-huh.
What all these clocks lead to.
For centuries, men have fought to control it.
Where is she? What the hell are you doing? She's gone! It came from a place of death Yet brought eternal life, Just as it did on that hilltop 2,000 years ago.
The true cross of christ Was the last thing the lord touched on earth Before he both died and was born into eternity.
Maybe she stepped out.
She didn't step out.
She lied.
What are you talking about? The clocks.
Where are they? Did she take 'em? Where are the clocks? Hank, listen to me.
Everything you think you know is a lie.
What are you talking about? My husband's flight.
One passenger was supposed to be on it that wasn't.
She was an australian woman named anna massey.
What does that have to do with laila? Everything.
The true cross.
It is destruction and salvation.
It is the doorway To god.
