Impulse (2018) s02e02 Episode Script

1 [BRIGHT TONE.]
[WIND WHOOSHING.]
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
When you arrived at my door, I took it as a blessing.
You returned a precious piece of my son.
After that officer left you in my charge, I knew this was something greater.
A command.
The Lord has called on me to deliver His justice, justice for the murder of my son.
Do you understand? [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
Henry, your mom is awake.
We gotta get up.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Shit.
Townes, get up.
We gotta go.
Henry's gone.
You have to knock first, Jenna.
It's common courtesy.
Just hurry and get dressed.
We need to find her.
[WHOOSHING.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
Get the fuck off me! [PANTING.]
What What Where where are we? [MUTTERS.]
Ah, f [RUINS RUMBLING.]
Careful.
That cop's still in your room.
[GLASS CRACKING.]
[RUMBLING STOPS.]
Good.
You're learning.
[PANTING SOFTLY.]
[SNIFFS.]
What do you want? To help you.
I thought that was clear.
[WATER DRIPPING.]
Hungry? I know a place around the corner.
I just hope after we watch it, something terrible doesn't happen.
What do you mean? Have you seen The Ring? Well, there's a cursed VHS tape, and anyone who sees it has a week to show someone else, or they're killed by a child ghost who was pushed down a well by her adoptive mother.
I just hope something like that doesn't happen.
Yeah, me too.
Townes.
Shit.
What's she doing here? Do you think she found Bill's body? Or pieces of the body, or whatever's left of the body? Henry said it was dissolved, right? Yeah, but how long does it take to dissolve a body in acid? [KEYS JANGLING.]
[WHISPERS.]
Just act normal.
[NORMAL VOICE.]
It's going to be fine.
There's nothing to worry about.
Everything's great.
Are you talking to me or yourself? - What's happening to you? - Just follow my lead.
- [TOWNES.]
Hello.
- [JENNA.]
Hi, Officer.
We're just here to pick up some clothes for Cleo.
- We can go inside, right? - Of course, of course.
Do you want me to go in with you? Um, no.
That's okay.
We've got it.
'Cause it can be hard coming home after something like this.
But it gets easier.
Promise.
Right.
It just takes some time.
Now, if you need anything, don't hesitate.
I'm around.
[TOWNES WHISPERS.]
I'll get Henry.
Henry? Ugh.
[BOX CLATTERS.]
Is that the video cassette recorder? Where's the screen? It doesn't have one.
It plugs into the TV.
With what? I don't know.
One of those? - Where's Henry? - [GRUNTS.]
She's not inside.
Okay, well, then, we need to go to the hospital.
My dad's gonna have so many questions, and Cleo needs someone.
No, we need to watch the tape first.
It could be the only way to find her.
Okay, fine.
Then I'll cover for Henry at the hospital while you figure out how to work this thing.
- Okay.
- Good luck.
[DOOR CLOSES.]
[CHEERFUL FOLK MUSIC PLAYING.]
[MAN SIPS.]
Mmm.
[MAN.]
You ever had Ciorba de Burta? Try it.
I want to go home.
It's good for hangovers.
I can smell it on you.
[DANIELA.]
Nikolai? [SPEAKS ROMANIAN.]
Nikolai.
[SPEAKS ROMANIAN.]
[NIKOLAI SPEAKING ROMANIAN.]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC.]
[SIGHS.]
Nikolai.
How's your mom? What do you care? Have you thought about why you've left her? That's twice now.
- Where's my dad? - I don't know.
Bullshit.
I know you took him.
When I was a kid.
I remember.
I take a lot of people.
That's what I do.
What're you looking for? An apology? Fuck you.
I'm done, okay? I'm done with your smirky bullshit and your stupid fucking games, okay? You took me from my room Like a total fucking creep, by the way.
To wherever the fuck we are right now for what? What do you want? You wanna eat soup? I'm educating you on the pitfalls of your short temper.
[SCOFFS.]
Go fuck yourself.
You're proving my point.
Sit down.
No.
Hey, if I hadn't have grabbed you, that cop would've found you, and then what? Huh? What would you have said? Let's hear it.
Let's hear your genius fucking excuse.
It doesn't matter.
I would've figured it out.
Everything you do matters.
Don't you get that? You think it's your body that's doing this to you? Killing that man? Leaving your mom? No, it's you.
You're in control.
You left your mother because you wanted to.
- No.
- It's called self-preservation.
You have no idea what the fuck you're talking about, okay? - You don't.
- Of course I do.
- You're so full of shit.
- [CHUCKLES.]
I don't need you, okay? I don't need you or your fucking help.
Hey! Hey.
Let go of me! - [SIGN CREAKING.]
- [WHOOSHING.]
[PANTS.]
- No.
- [OMINOUS MUSIC.]
No.
Why Why would you Why would you bring me here? I didn't.
You did.
No, that's [SNIFFS.]
I would never.
This is where it happened the first time.
How do you know that? It's my job.
Who else knows what you can do? No one.
Stitches in my back suggest otherwise.
If you touch her, I swear to God You'll rip my arm off.
Yeah, I've seen what you can do when you're angry.
This is my whole point.
You want a life here? You wanna survive this? You need to listen to me.
The people I work for want what you have.
It's only a matter of time before they come for you.
If that happens it's not gonna work out well for anyone.
I promise you that.
You should go.
I need to take care of a few things.
[STAMMERS.]
I don't understand.
I don't [SCOFFS.]
[SIGHS.]
You're worried about your mom, aren't you? I'll be back tonight.
[THOMAS.]
She's gotta be somewhere.
She couldn't have gone far.
- [JENNA.]
Yeah.
- [THOMAS.]
They will find her.
- [HEART MONITOR BEEPING.]
- Mom? Henry.
Henry! Hey.
[LAUGHS.]
Oh.
Oh, sorry.
Sorry.
[CLEO.]
Come here.
- Baby, no, come here.
- [HENRY.]
Sorry.
Where did you go, baby? [SOFTLY.]
I'm so, so sorry.
No, shh.
Let's give them a minute.
I thought I lost you.
I woke up and I was I swore I swore that he shot you, that you stood in In front of me, that you stood in front of Bill.
No, you pulled me back.
You were protecting me.
Anna told me what you did.
You jumped out of Bill's car.
And you went and got help.
That you're the reason that I'm here.
So I got a call from the Lindermans this morning.
They heard you trying to sneak in last night drunk.
What were you thinking, taking Henry to a party? She wanted to go.
[STAMMERS.]
I thought that if I went with, it would be okay.
I don't expect Henry to know what's best right now, you know? There's a lot going on.
But you? I expect better.
I'm sorry.
Just [SIGHS.]
I need you to be the adult in the room, 'kay? Especially now.
Cleo's coming home tomorrow.
I need your help.
She just got out of surgery.
Is that a good idea? I don't know.
Cleo's insurance lapsed.
All of this is out of pocket, 'kay? We don't have the bowling alley.
We have nothing coming in.
We have to make this work.
Listen.
I know this is asking a lot.
[SIGHS.]
When we brought Mom home, you stepped up.
You made sure that she was safe.
I know that you can do this.
'Kay? They need us.
I should never have taken that job.
I should've seen what was going on.
You didn't know.
I'm your mother.
It's my job to know.
I'm gonna do better.
I promise.
I'm not gonna let anything happen to you.
"Sheriff Frederick Dale.
Husband.
Father.
" [CHUCKLING.]
"Hero.
" Yeah, she wants me to put that up in the station.
She's been calling all morning.
That's Karen for you.
Probably not gonna let this go.
Well, I'm not gonna pretend Dale was a hero just because his wife is some politician.
Honestly? I'd consider the cost before making a fuss.
We all know the truth.
You give her this one little thing, it'll go a long way.
So when exactly was the last time you spoke with your dad? [CLAY.]
Um, at the hospital, I guess, after the fire.
And how was that? Was it a good conversation? What's that gotta do with anything? I'm trying to understand your dad's mindset that morning.
And why it is he wanted to speak with Henry Coles.
Does that surprise you? That he went to the Hope house for her? I don't know.
Maybe he was scared.
And why would he be scared of Henry? Why don't you ask her? I'm asking you.
Does this have anything to do with your accident? 'Cause I know Henry was with you, and I know your dad My dad didn't do shit to her.
All right? We never did anything to Henry Coles, so whatever she told you, she's the one that hurts people.
If you can't find my dad, then she probably did something.
She probably attacked him hurt him or some shit like she did to me.
Henry hurt you? How? What do you mean, how? Look at me.
- Clay, are you saying - I'm saying she crushed my fucking truck.
Okay? She crushed it from the inside.
Crushed it? [SIGHS.]
- Forget it, forget it.
- [WENDY.]
That's enough.
Clay's been through enough, okay? - Uh - I'm sorry, Officer.
Just this is an adjustment for both of us.
If Bill reaches out Yeah, I will call you, first thing.
And Lucas? Are there any updates? No, nothing new.
We're doing what we can to track him down.
Thank you.
[JEREMIAH.]
Lucas Boone is alive? [ESTHER.]
For now, yes.
He returned that and the money you left behind.
The money meant to free us from the Boones.
[SIGHS.]
I sought the Lord, and he delivered us.
You need to post bail and make arrangements to secure my release.
I know this has been a challenging time.
Once I'm free, we will rebuild our community and our livelihood.
[VOICE BREAKING.]
We cannot rebuild what was lost.
It is because of you our son is dead.
That is untrue.
You promised to keep him safe, that the Lord would watch over him.
I did everything I could.
You've you've failed.
You had that man and his servants lined up before you, and still you did nothing.
Bill Boone deceived me, and you know that.
You were weak.
You no longer know what our community needs.
[TENSE MUSIC.]
You are my wife.
The money will remain with the congregation.
That is my decision as leader of this Church.
The Church will not follow you! Esther! - What kind of soup was it? - Townes.
Details matter, Jenna.
It can help us figure out where he took her.
[HENRY.]
His name's Nikolai.
That's what the cook called him, anyway.
'Kay, that's something.
Okay, got it.
[SNIFFS.]
If your teleporter-mentor-guy is the "they" the hacker warned us about, this tape will have answers.
- Who's "they"? - Exactly.
[MICHAEL OVER TV.]
Hello, Dominick.
My name's Michael Pearce.
I'm one of the researchers here.
Is English okay? I'm afraid my French is not so good.
Are you part of the study? For sleep? - Yes.
- How did you do this? It's perfect, just like my room.
I'm glad to hear it.
My seizures are worse, not better.
[MICHAEL.]
I know you're frustrated, but we have something new we'd like to try.
I believe it'll help uncover the cause of your seizures so we can better target our treatment.
If you wanna follow me to the other room, we're all set up.
- Is that it? - [DOOR CLOSES ON TAPE.]
It's just a sleep study? Michael Pearce was the scientist from the YouTube video.
The guy whose body washed up? What? What are you talking about? There's gotta be something more here.
[TOWNES.]
I'm going to google Dominick Babtiste too.
Hold on.
Just go back.
[VCR WHIRRING.]
Stop, stop, stop.
[SOFT FOREBODING MUSIC.]
[SOFT, MUFFLED SHOUTING.]
Do you hear that? Turn it up.
[DOMINICK SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY.]
- [SHOUTS.]
- [WHOOSHING.]
[SPEAKING FRENCH.]
[SOFTLY.]
Oh, what's happening to me? I have to get out of here.
[BANGING ON DOOR.]
[DOMINICK SHOUTING DESPERATELY IN FRENCH.]
Answer me! [SCREAMING.]
[STATIC BUZZES.]
They tortured that kid.
And then he teleported.
Dominick Babtiste.
He's the teleporter from the subway video.
[EXHALES.]
It's both of them? - What does that mean? - I don't know.
- We need to talk to someone.
- You should show Nikolai the video.
- What? - No.
You can ask him if these are the people who are coming for you.
Townes, what planet are you on? She can't trust him.
But technically, everything he's done has helped her.
It's not just about me, Townes.
I'm not the only one we need to worry about.
We need real help from someone with real authority.
It's the only way to protect ourselves.
We should talk to Officer Hulce.
And say what? We'll tell her that Nikolai killed Bill Boone, and that you witnessed it.
If she arrests him It won't make a difference.
You can't contain a teleporter.
Clearly, they can.
He escaped.
Okay, then maybe we could slow him down.
I'm What else are we going to do? He can take her whenever he wants and deliver her to people who will do God knows what.
Sorry.
No, you're right.
We won't let that happen.
But we can't stop it, not really.
Bill Boone's dead, your mother was shot, and we don't know who Nikolai or these other people are.
We can't do this on our own.
[PHONES RINGING.]
[INDISTINCT CHATTER.]
Townes won't come in.
- I can't I can't do this.
- Hey.
[WHISPERS.]
Hey, yes, you can.
- [WHISPERS.]
I can't.
- [OVERLAPPING DIALOGUE.]
[ANNA.]
But there aren't many restaurants around here.
- [NIKOLAI.]
I'll check it out.
- Jenna.
Henry.
Hi.
Ken, this is Henry Coles from the report.
Henry, this is Ken Davidson.
He's an insurance adjustor.
He manages the Boone properties.
Henry, what luck.
Not to bug you, but I I have a few questions about the accident.
If you wouldn't mind, uh, giving me a ring, you can reach me at this number.
Hi.
Ken.
- [JENNA.]
Jenna.
- [NIKOLAI.]
Nice to meet you, Jenna.
Did you girls wanna come back? Um - Henry? - Um Well, I should be off.
There's a weak cup of joe with my name on it.
- Fremont Street, you said? - That's right, yeah.
[NIKOLAI.]
Pleasure to meet you both.
You wanna talk? [PHONE TAPPING.]
- [SIGHS.]
- [PHONE VIBRATES.]
[SIGHS SOFTLY.]
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKING.]
[ANNA.]
Have you met him before? That insurance adjustor? No.
Well, I'm glad you're here.
I have a few more questions if you're up for it.
But first, what is it that you wanted to talk to me about? I wanted to see if you had any more information on Bill.
Like, if you guys have have found him, or There's nothing new, but the minute that changes, I will let you know.
Is that it? [INHALES DEEPLY, CLICKS TONGUE.]
I should go.
You know, I I'm still trying to piece together the events of yesterday morning, and, um, I'm I'm struggling with your story a little, to be honest.
Okay.
I'm I mean, I told you everything that I can remember.
I spoke to Clay Boone this morning.
Is he the reason Bill wanted to hurt you? I mean, your mom seems to think so.
Your mom said Bill was convinced that you did something to Clay, and Clay seems to agree.
He blamed you for the accident.
What was the nature of your relationship with Clay? Relationship? Did you two date? [FIRMLY.]
No.
So you just know each other from school? Yeah, I'm I'm I've seen him around.
Henry, I know you were in that truck.
I know you were there when Clay was injured.
Is that a question? Henry, were you hurt? I can help.
If you need help with Clay, with Bill, with all of it.
I really need to get back to my mom.
The people here, this town look, it can feel unwieldy.
I know.
So whatever happened I'm working towards changing things for everyone.
I want you to feel safe.
[CAR DOOR SLAMS.]
[SEATBELT CLICKS.]
I got a photo as he was coming out.
- If I can find out who he is, we can figure out - [HENRY.]
Nope.
There's nothing we can do because he's fucking everywhere.
If I don't show up tonight, he'll still find me.
Resistance is futile.
You're right.
You have to go.
But like in Divinity: Original Sin 2, there's no chance at winning if you go into battle without the proper utilities.
It's all about preparation.
And I can help.
[ENGINE TURNS OVER.]
[MAN.]
The great flood is coming.
- [JAUNTY MUSIC PLAYING.]
- Gear up today, at Reston Bear Supply.
Open every day but Sunday.
[MELLOW GUITAR MUSIC.]
Cell service isn't always reliable, and it only covers populated areas.
[VOICE SOFTENS.]
If you travel to a remote jungle or a desert wasteland, only satellites will be able to pinpoint your location.
And GPS is the only thing that'll let us map your movements.
[FLOORBOARDS CREAKING.]
[MELLOW MUSIC PLAYING OVER RADIO.]
Hey, if something happens to me, do you think that you could, like, take care of my mom? Henry.
I just wanna make sure that she's okay just in case I don't come back.
You're gonna come back.
Like Townes said, you just need to be prepared.
Can I help you girls? Yeah, how much is that one? With the hook thing? That's a gut hook for skinning game.
You girls field dress a lot of deer? - [JENNA LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
- Yeah.
Well, I'm gonna need to see some ID first.
These are serious tools.
They're not toys.
Well, we'll We'll just take a can of mace then.
Everything in this section is 18 or older.
You have to be 18 to buy mace? What if we need to protect ourselves? Try staying out of trouble? You seem like nice girls.
That shouldn't be a problem.
But if you need something [WHISTLES JANGLING.]
What am I supposed to do with a fucking whistle? I found one.
This will show you your longitude and latitude so you'll know your relative position on the Earth's axis.
I can ring that up for you over here.
67.
52.
[JENNA.]
That's a lot of money, Townes.
My mom gave me a debit card for emergencies.
We call it my secret weapon.
[CARD READER BEEPING.]
Receipt's in the bag, and a little something extra.
- On the house.
- [WHISTLE JANGLING.]
[BAG RUSTLING.]
You have to keep this on you.
Then I can download the data as soon as you're back.
Right.
[SOFT TENSE MUSIC.]
I'm gonna be fine.
[PANTING.]
[MAN.]
That's enough.
[PANTING.]
My son didn't deserve to die.
He was just a boy.
[SOBS.]
I'm so sorry.
[SNIFFS.]
You took him from me.
I screwed up.
I wanna be good.
I tried to do the right thing.
[SCOFFS, SNIFFS.]
I don't know how.
Why did you come here? You were in pain.
You sought confession.
You expected me to take your life for you.
[INHALES.]
[DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[HEAVY BREATHING.]
This is yours.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Go on.
If you want to take your life, that is your choice.
I would welcome the relief, but I will not grant you that mercy.
But death is not the only freedom.
The Lord is forgiving.
The road to salvation is yours to choose.
Get up.
There is much work to do.
[DOORBELL RINGS.]
Ms.
Hulce.
Come in.
Thank you, but I just wanted to bring by your husband's things personally.
Oh, that's very considerate.
- [OBJECTS RATTLE.]
- Um I don't understand.
I can't hang that up in the station.
I think you know why.
My husband was sheriff for 15 years.
He died in the line of duty assisting the DEA.
I am sorry for your loss, Mrs.
Dale No, I don't think you are.
He was a good man.
He deserves respect.
He deserves a place in the department.
You have a good night, ma'am.
Anna! There are plenty of officers who could fill the role of sheriff, and as a member of city council, I can easily find someone better suited someone who better reflects the spirit and the color of this town.
You know, your husband was killed on the wrong side of a drug bust.
He was a corrupt cop and a cancer on the department.
I'm not afraid of you, Mrs.
Dale.
I've been a cop a long time.
A good cop.
So I suggest you respect my position here.
You know, and I know what a sheriff takes home.
It's not much.
Certainly not enough for a house this nice.
And I am sure federal agents would agree with me if they paid you a visit.
Take care, Mrs.
Dale.
All right, let's go.
- What're you talking about? - We should hurry to my house.
It's late, and the hacker could've tried to make contact again.
Plus, I have to continue my research about the sleep study and Dominick Babtiste and Michael Pearce, and I can't do that here, not properly No, but what if she comes back? We should be here.
A sidekick can't just wait around, Jenna.
I have to be proactive, think two steps ahead maybe three.
Look, this isn't one of your games.
Henry's alone.
She's on her way to Nikolai.
She is not a superhero, and you're not her sidekick.
She's a real person with real feelings.
And I know that it's hard for you to connect sometimes without creating your fantasies, but Henry is scared, and she needs us to be here as her friends.
You don't know what Henry needs, not really, because you don't know what it's like to be different.
You don't understand what it means to be special.
No.
Townes, that's not what I meant.
Good night.
[DOOR SLAMS.]
[BILLIE EILISH'S "YOU SHOULD SEE ME IN A CROWN".]
Visions I vandalize Cold in my kingdom size Fell for these ocean eyes You should see me in a crown I'm gonna run this nothing town Watch me make them bow One by one by one One by one by You should see me in a crown Your silence is my favorite sound Watch me make them bow One by one by one One by one by one [SOFT TENSE MUSIC.]
[DOOR CREAKS.]
You're late.
Why do you have that? Something terrible happened to you in this truck.
We all have our own place, or person.
A moment of pain or danger.
And then we save ourselves.
That's how this works.
[SCOFFS.]
You don't know what happened to me.
- [WATER DRIPPING.]
- I'm not asking.
It's not mine to know.
Get in.
No.
I'm [STAMMERING.]
I'm not I'm not going anywhere near that thing, no.
Until you do, you'll keep hurting people.
You'll keep hurting yourself.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.
It's not my fault.
No.
This is not a punishment.
Get the fuck away from me! [GRUNTS.]
- [STRAINED GRUNTING.]
- [WHOOSHING.]
[STUN GUN CRACKLING.]
[GRUNTS, PANTING.]
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[SOFTLY.]
What the fuck was that? [GRUNTING.]
No.
Where's my dad? - I don't - No.
Stop fucking lying to me.
Where is my dad? [GASPING.]
I need it.
[GRUNTING.]
[STRAINED.]
I don't know where he is.
Okay.
I'm gonna control this, and you're gonna help me but on my terms.
You don't get to show up whenever you want.
You don't get to take me anywhere without my permission.
And you're not gonna turn me over to whoever the fuck you work for, okay? I'm staying here.
This is my home.
I am staying in Reston.
Don't touch my family.
Stay the fuck away from my mom and my friends.
This shit is between you and me.
Okay? That's it.
[NIKOLAI GRUNTING.]
[GROANING.]
And stay out of my fucking room.
[EXHALING IN RELIEF.]
What is that? Hopefully you never have to find out.
[NIKOLAI SIGHS, SNIFFS.]
[KEYBOARD CLACKING.]
[PHONE VIBRATES.]
[DENISE HUMMING "BRIDAL CHORUS" ON TAPE.]
Get out of here.
[DENISE.]
Come on.
Say a few words.
Thomas is gonna see this.
Hi, Thomas.
I'm about to marry you in T-minus 11 minutes if Denise would leave me alone.
[INHALES DEEPLY.]
Whew.
Clearly, I love you very much.
I showed up today wearing this.
[CHUCKLES.]
- [DENISE.]
And she made it herself.
- Yes, I did.
I am stupidly excited to spend the rest of my life with you.
[LAUGHS.]
[DENISE CLICKS TONGUE.]
Aww, see? You're gonna thank me for this one later.
Uh-huh.
[DENISE.]
All right, let's get that veil on.
[ELIZABETH EXHALES DEEPLY.]
[ELIZABETH LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
Mrs.
Elizabeth Hope.
It has a nice ring to it, doesn't it? [LAUGHS.]
Wow.
[DYAN'S "LOOKING FOR KNIVES".]
I went looking for blood And they're giving me bone And I wanted a map And I got directions back home I went looking for knives And they're giving me blooms I went looking for knives And I was looking for you And I wanted a race And I got a parade - Hi.
- Hi.
- Are you okay? - Yeah.
[SOFTLY.]
I'm okay.
Everything's okay.
I went looking for knives And they're giving me blooms I went looking for knives - [FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING.]
- [IRIS.]
Plate of stroganoff.
Cup of ice.
Can I get you anything else? Nah, this should do it.
Okay.
Enjoy.
[PHONE VIBRATING.]
[WOMAN.]
Nikolai? You picked up.
- Quiet night? - What do you want? How's the girl? Difficult.
Is she going to be a problem? [GRUNTS.]
I'm not sure yet.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
[SIGHS.]
If you still wanna do this your way, I advise you get her under control and soon.
- [KNOCKING ON DOOR.]
- [LANDON.]
Ma'am, we're ready.
I have to go.
We're doing another test run.
Keep me posted.
Please.
[SIGHS.]
Perimeter's locked down.
We just need the all clear to get started.
- [MAN GROANS LOUDLY.]
- Go ahead.
[MACHINES BLIPPING.]
[MACHINE BLIPPING RAPIDLY.]
[BLIPPING FADES.]
I'm not getting a signal.
Get me operations.
[EXPLOSION.]
[LANDON.]
It's off target.
But it's close.
Let's go! [DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
Shit.
Wait here.
[SOMBER PIANO MUSIC.]
[FOREBODING MUSIC.]
[LANDON.]
Ma'am? I'm afraid our subject didn't survive the trip.
It's unfortunate, but it just means we'll have to work harder to be ready for the demonstration.
He was the best teleporter we had.
There are others.
[SOFT DRAMATIC MUSIC.]
