Zero Hour s01e05 Episode Script

Suspension

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 appointed 12 new apostles.
They call themselves the shepherds.
Their mission is to protect the holiest of relics.
Who are they protecting from? Tell her just a matter of time Till she has the object she seeks.
I have the first three clocks.
Vincent has never kept a hostage alive, so why laila? We did it.
Where is she? What are you doing? One passenger was supposed to be on it.
What does that have to do with laila? She lied! The clocks--where are they? 4 is the number of seasons, The phases of the earth.
Life comes full cycle-- first death, then birth.
Mankind once feared the locust.
He believed they were the hand of god, Decimating crops to punish our sins.
But then we learned we can't control sin Or grace, But we can control science.
Today, science destroys the locust, Crops thrive, And now God's power resides in the hand of man, So we must use that power.
I'm glad you understand.
Now what did you hear from white vincent? Has he found the clock? My wife lied to me for five years, And I never suspected, not once.
She faked her entire life story.
Her accent, her passport.
Now all I know about that girl is that her name is anna massey, And that for some reason, she's after those clocks.
Because the clocks don't just lead to some relic.
They lead to the relic.
They're a map to the true cross of christ.
That explains why people have risked so much for so long To protect those 12 clocks.
But I just can't understand why laila would betray hank.
She was trained for this.
Trained by who? That's what I intend to find out As soon as I catch her.
No, no.
The last time you were talking like this, You were talking about white vincent, a terrorist.
What do you think laila is? I think that she stepped off my husband's flight Right before vincent blew off the wings.
You think she's responsible.
I think she was informed.
And to me, that's the same thing.
This is absolutely massive.
The greatest conspiracy in all of human history.
Hank just had his life torn apart, And all you can do is geek out over conspiracy theories? It's not a theory.
The cross is real.
People are killing for it.
But why? Maybe it was for faith or profit.
You must have some guess.
I don't.
Because the woman I married? Never existed.
What are you hiding? Huh? What are you hiding? Aah! Uhh! The bird feeder's empty.
I'm gonna make up the sugar water.
It's delicate.
You need just the right mix.
Clever.
The shepherds--they're the ones who protect the cross, right? And the great pyrates-- they're hunting for it.
So laila's gotta be working for one of 'em.
We don't know that.
She could've ran for other reasons.
Like what? I don't know.
Like protecting hank.
Maybe she thought vincent was getting close.
Or she was working with vincent.
You're an idiot.
Laila would never do that.
You keep acting like you know her.
She pretended to be your friend And mine, And the greatest wife a guy could ever ask for.
But she obviously wasn't any of those things.
Both of you, that's enough.
You want answers? Let's do what we always do, okay? Look for the truth.
Here.
I found this in our house.
Laila hid it in a bird feeder.
Looks like it's a hundred years old.
Any idea what it opens? I have to search the clock store, the storage space Everything from laila's life.
I get it.
We can take care of this.
And find it soon.
If she has those clocks, We're not the only ones looking for her.
You are a very strange little boy.
Do people tell you that often? Yeah.
This is not acceptable.
Tell her I don't need rest or replacement.
I will find laila, Gut her like an elk, Take the clocks.
You see, I do my best work when I'm angry.
Oh! Please.
I was shot.
Now I'm better.
Remind her I'm still her best shot to get laila.
You wanted to see me, father? I did.
You've been with us almost two years now, And I hear you're ready to take your vows.
Yes.
I'm ready to devote my life to god.
And yet, I've heard rumors About your life before the church, That you were A drug addict A thief.
Is this all true? I see.
So you lied to us.
Only so that I could join the church.
Quite skillfully.
Please don't turn your back on me, father.
I'm not that person anymore, And I've done everything that I can to walk in god's light.
Not everything.
Not yet.
Tell me Have you heard of the shepherds? Yes.
I've--I've heard stories.
They protect the holiest secrets of the church.
We Do much more than that.
Shepherds defend the dominion of god on earth, And we must sometimes Sin to do it.
You understand this path.
We'd like you to walk it with us.
That's a most incredible honor, father, but My vows-- are a small faith.
Like a grain of wheat calling itself bread.
True believers must sweat and bleed And sacrifice everything.
In this box Are symbols of your old life-- Your life as anna massey.
As a shepherd, You would leave this life, this name behind forever.
That would be no great loss.
You can choose to be a nun if you like, Serve the lord in small ways.
Or you can burn this, Join us.
Show true devotion to god.
The choice is yours.
Whoever trained laila trained her well.
We're doing a 300-mile surveillance sweep on her.
She's a ghost.
No sign of her.
But I could've told you that on the phone, Rush me out here at the crack of dawn on Sunday morning.
I've been combing through laila's life, Trying to find a piece the didn't fit.
And you found something? This garden.
She volunteered here 7:00 a.
M.
Every Sunday, Which I thought was a strange choice Because, you know, she hates mornings.
We both do.
Let me guess.
You never went.
Nobody has gone near the plot.
Don't stare.
Check your phone.
Tie your shoelaces.
Do anything else.
Okay, we got somebody.
He just pocketed something.
Very casually, just follow me.
That's a good crop you've got there.
Oh, thank you.
It's the moss that Fbi! Stop! Stop! Fbi! Hands in the air! Hank galliston, you must stop searching for your wife.
Is laila safe? A shepherd keeps her secrets until the end.
Do you know where she is? Yes.
I'm afraid I do.
No! I found this on the body.
This is laila's handwriting.
That's it.
She works with the shepherds.
"352 irrelevant"? What does that mean? 352? I don't know.
It meant something to laila.
It means we're getting closer.
We will find her.
I need to know what this is all about, father mark.
For thousands of years, shepherds have struggled To protect the cross from those who covet it-- A group known as the pyrates.
They've had many covers through the ages-- Kings, warlords, captains of industry.
Today, some of them hide under the guise of philanthropy.
Who could suspect a good samaritan Or imagine their true goals? Which are what? That Is why we need you, sister.
The pyrates have a clinic in south america.
We suspect it's a cover for an experimental program, But we need more information.
You have to get close, Gain their trust.
You want me to spy on them? To--to--to what? To lie? Steal? Betray people? Like I used to.
All your actions are holy now When they serve a higher cause.
Hey.
Needle in a haystack? Halfway solved.
You got something? Was made by a company called goss brothers locksmiths.
Do you see that "gb" engraving? Our lock will have the same thing.
That only leaves about half of new york.
Yeah, I know it was, like, a century ago.
You're the sixth person that I've talked to.
I really need god, I love new york.
Put down the phone, get off the computer.
We realized that if you wanna find out where someone's going, Find out how they got there.
Arron begged me to look up laila's metrocard records To find out where she got off the train.
He can be kind of persuasive when he tries.
So it looks like laila has been taking A lot of trips to flatbush.
Any idea why? There's this haitian bakery she used to go to, To get me these meat pies that I really liked.
Did she do that three times a week, every week, For the last Four years? There's the haitian bakery.
This is the epicenter.
Six blocks either direction.
Any building that's old enough, Check to see if they have goss brothers locks.
Uh, ma'am, can we help you with your groceries? Uh thank you, young man.
That's--that's very kind of you.
Oh, no, no.
Our pleasure.
Listen, my--my sister, she lives in this building.
Uh-huh.
And she gave me her key, But I don't know which apartment she's in.
I wanted to surprise her.
Do--do you recognize her? Oh, she's the one in--in 2b.
2b? Great.
Thank you.
This is it! Give me the key.
She's in there.
Fbi! She's not here.
Every single week that we spent together, She lied to my face and came here.
To do what? To pray.
I don't think you go to all this trouble Just to chat with god.
Got something! It's just a bunch of newspaper clippings About charity work.
Why would she keep these? Same reason that she kept this? Memories from her past? It's the only personal thing in here.
Any idea who that is with her? I've never seen her before in my life.
We couldn't match her face to the fbi database.
It just means she never had a mug shot.
But even though we can't find a "who," We might be able to find a "where.
" We've been using this new spatial matching technology, And what it does is it analyzes landmarks, It matches it against other online photos.
This is the church of san pastore In asuncion, paraguay.
Laila never mentioned that, spending time in paraguay? She told me she had never traveled to south america.
Well, somehow this place meant something to her.
We need to know why.
Don't blame me for your headache.
What are you, like, 90 pounds? How are you not so hungover today? I am.
I'm just better at hiding it.
Well, that's the end of my drinking days for a while.
Okay.
This is why I came to south america in the first place.
You know, to help people.
I mean, you.
What is it? You get this glow about you Oh.
When you talk about volunteering at the clinic.
That's what I want.
Look, it's--it's hard work, But it's the best job in the world.
I'll do my best to get you in, and you'll do great.
Oh, let's do a photo Would you? With the church before we go.
Great idea.
ÿuna foto, por favor? Um, with the church in the back and the parrot.
All right, with the church.
Okay.
Uno, does, tres.
I called the priest in asuncion.
He never saw laila at his church, And he was positive he'd remember a pretty australian.
Shot in the dark.
Thank you.
A chance to practice my spanish.
Something else I noticed, though.
The girl-- See her bracelet? She's a public health volunteer.
Saw them all the time When I was doing missionary work in ghana.
The d.
C.
Bureau pulled video surveillance of laila.
Footage shows her entering dulles international airport Six hours ago, then she disappeared.
Rachel, can you bring up All international flights out of dulles in the last six hours? Looks like seven departures.
Seven flights And one straight to asuncion, paraguay.
You think that's a coincidence? Hank's about to fly halfway around the world To find this woman who we believe is a shepherd.
Is there any chance you know her? I might have given the wrong impression.
I know about the shepherds in a general sense, But I've never met one.
For someone who's never met one, You sure have a lot of convenient knowledge.
Laila passed a message-- "352 irrelevant.
" Any idea what that means? Uh No.
But it's--it sounds like your friend didn't heed my warning.
The shepherds can be dangerous.
Hank doesn't care about his safety, but believe me, I do.
Now Do you have any idea Why the shepherds are interested in asuncion, paraguay? Believe me, I wish I had your answers.
But I'll--I'll look into, um, asuncion, For the sake of your friend.
All right.
So This is the place.
Gracias.
Oh! Oh, man, that was a bumpy ride! Wow.
It's kind of in the middle of nowhere, isn't it, For a malaria clinic? Oh, they do lots of other work around here.
Immunization, reproductive health, And patients come from all over.
Well, you gotta teach me all of it.
I will.
How's the hangover? It's killing me.
You get me one aspirin, I'm yours.
Why would someone build a clinic Out in the middle of nowhere? And more importantly, Why would laila be so interested in it? Doesn't look like anyone's been here in a while.
Can't know if we don't look.
Unless you're afraid of the curse.
Maybe we should be.
It's still warm.
Somebody's here.
All right, laila.
What is all this? What were you up to? Thought you were out with paige, Saving the world one conspiracy theory at a time? I was out with paige.
We were looking up stuff on the true cross.
You're mad.
Well, it hasn't been the best day.
I mean, I always thought of laila As the cool mom I never had.
But it turns out she's exactly like The "see ya later" mom I already did have.
I know it sucks.
And I just thought, Arron's been through that.
He knows how I feel.
It'd be really nice if he were here.
I'm an idiot.
I should've stayed here.
I'm sorry.
It's fine.
Um Let's just get back to work.
It's not fine.
Look, I've known you way too long to not see this.
But I'm here now, And I promise with laila it'll be different Because we'll find her.
And you can ask your questions, okay? That's maybe the most grown-up thing I've ever heard you say.
Besides Paige is major league.
You're double-a, so it'll never work out.
Thank you.
You find anything in all this? Yeah, there might be a connection.
All these aid groups get their funding from the same place.
It's this organization.
The 41 trust.
"supporting innovation, development, And health worldwide.
" It's one of the biggest charities in the world.
They have clinics all over the globe.
Any in paraguay? Exactly one-- The santa marta, But then it was inexplicably and suddenly abandoned.
Beck.
Beck.
"41 trust volunteer.
" now crush up two pills and put 'em in a glass of water.
That's good.
Nice and slow.
Now you see? You're a quick learner.
I'm trying.
Uh, you know what? It looks like we're out of these pills.
Where do I get more? Dr.
Pitt--the skeevy one who checked out your ass.
Right.
Lucky me.
And Here's your primaquine.
Always nice to meet a new volunteer.
Can I ask you something? How do you deal with all this? Easy there.
What's the matter? It's just You know, I-I came here to help people.
I didn't expect there to be so much death.
But then I see those body bags going into the morgue, And I feel like Hey, hey, hey.
I should do something.
Hey, we do the best we can.
Some patients arrive too late.
Yeah.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
I'm wasting your time.
If you need to talk, I'm here.
Primaquine.
This used to be a malaria clinic.
You know your pharmaceuticals.
Yeah.
Theo used to be a doctor, remember? What would laila be doing coming down To a broken-down malaria clinic? Hello? Hello? Paraguayan feds about the jeep.
I can't get reception.
Hang on.
You're thinking about running, But I love shooting men in the back.
Move on.
Move.
Move.
We both came all the way here, Hoping we would find laila.
But she's a tricky little bird, and she's not here.
It's ironic.
You came down here to find laila, And she once came down here and she found you.
Are you sketched out by all this? I never got an interview this fast in my life.
Just be cool.
Don't act suspicious.
We're journalists looking for a story.
Hi.
I'm stan jarvis, Vice president for public relations.
Uh, now you called about the south america clinics? That's us.
Great.
Which clinics are you doing your story on specifically? Uh, the santa marta clinic in paraguay.
Well, then there must be a little mix-up.
We don't have a clinic in paraguay.
Well, you did.
Until 2008.
You know what? There is someone here who can answer all of this So much better than I can.
If you'll come this way this isn't a morgue.
It's a lab.
They were doing experiments down here.
Not just any experiments.
Project zero hour Didn't die with the nazis.
Death is only a chance for rebirth.
Why did laila come down here? Hank, if I had all the answers, I would have no use for you.
I might not know why she came here, but I know what she found.
What? Tend your sick ones, o lord christ.
Aah! Aah! Aah! Emily, we have to leave.
We have to get on this van right now.
Take it easy.
You're freaking out.
This clinic's not what it seems.
Okay, you need to calm down.
Take a breath.
This job can be hard.
Emily? Emily.
We've got a line of patients here.
Okay.
Just trust me.
Please come with me now.
I have work to do.
Let's go.
The lab It's been compromised.
So clean the mess.
What about the patients? The volunteers? Clean the mess.
Oh.
What happened here? Remarkable work which could never be shared with the world.
Sit.
Your wife knew a bit about it.
She wrote it on a note.
I believe "352 irrelevant.
" Tell me what 352 is.
The answer to all our questions.
I found it on the ground, The only evidence to survive their cleanup.
It's almost as if fate meant for us to discover this together.
Hank! You want to know what laila found here? She found you.
I'm melanie lynch, director of the 41 trust.
We were fascinated by your call No one is interested in south america anymore.
So tell me, Why the interest? About the santa marta clinic in paraguay.
It, uh, apparently was abandoned.
Your clinics are famous for their long-term sustainability, And yet you abandoned this one.
We wanna know why.
Here's what I said in my ted talk, If you haven't seen it.
Compassion is a commodity, Same as gold, steel, or timber.
There is a finite amount in the world.
Compassion is also a science.
The 41 trust-- We invest money where it matters most.
If a clinic fails, we can't throw good money after bad.
Paraguay was failing, so we spread our resources elsewhere.
But I'm curious Why "modern skeptic" magazine Would be so Interested in my foundation? The trust murdered 32 people to keep that clinic secret.
Patients, volunteers.
I had a friend that worked-- I told you there'd be sacrifices.
I thought you meant from me.
Those people didn't get a choice.
Sometimes the lamb must fall.
32 lambs for that file.
Not just any file.
The key to stopping zero hour.
God thanks you, sister.
I wanna carry out his will.
I do.
But the things that we do are-- Won't get easier.
We need you to keep watch on 352.
Get close to him and learn everything you can.
Isn't it beautiful, When the fragments of the universe align And you realize your part in it? Who is that man? Like you said, brother, I don't have all the answers.
I only just found this.
His eyes They're like yours.
Your wife came down here in the first place? I don't know! Because you didn't have a chance to ask her.
Together we can catch that little bird.
Come with me.
Find her.
Demand your answers.
Because you see? We are the ones that share a fate.
Hank, get out of the way! Aah! You got lucky once.
But luck is fleeting.
So Please Tell me where it hurts.
Aah! Uhh! Beck, come on.
Come on.
We're almost there.
Ah.
Hank! Hank! Come out! Come out! Shh.
Shh, shh.
You'll be okay.
Come out, wherever you are! Don't panic.
Hank, I won't kill you.
The bitch is dead! She just has to bleed first! Don't listen to him.
You're gonna be okay.
I offered you the light of reality Shh.
Don't listen.
And you spit on me, brother! But you can still come with me To shake truth out of your wife.
We owe everything to you.
You kept watch on 352, You returned the clocks, And now the cross is safe.
In this box are symbols of your old life As laila galliston.
I'm ready to burn that life away.
Five years is a long time.
You sure you can leave that behind? I'm sure.
Your wife betrayed you.
Your wife betrayed you! She betrayed you, brother.
This is your last chance to come with me! To find her! I offer you brotherhood, And you choose another path, and that cannot be forgiven! We're done, you and I.
You will stay forever blind To the truth about what you really are.
Protect us, lord All your lambs.
