Zero Hour s01e08 Episode Script

Winding

1 Previously on "Zero Hour" My wife lied to me and I never suspected.
The Shepherds have struggled to protect the cross from a group known as the Pyrates.
I'm confident to have the cross in my possession by the end of the week.
I wanted you to know that we're in this together.
I saw something.
He looked exactly like me.
Korbin Sturm he was conscripted into the Nazi Party for field research on Zero Hour.
(Man) We need you to unlock this puzzle.
Strasbourg that's where the clocks lead.
God forgive me.
(Grunts) (Gunshot) Stop! I'm gonna find the true cross and I'm gonna destroy it.
Come with me.
The signal says they're here.
(Ticking) (White Vincent) 7 is holy The number of God evermore.
We are brothers in this life and maybe once before.
(Band playing "Preussens Gloria") (Man) Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt! The Nazis cannot be stopped now.
They will come for us.
Then we must fight back.
We are too weak to fight back.
But we may not be in the future.
As Rosicrucians, we know the most important thing for us to do now is to preserve that thing that lies in the tunnels below this cathedral.
(Squeaking) We can't do this.
A hundred generations have kept it hidden.
We're not worthy to make this decision.
If we don't and it falls into Nazi hands, it will mean the end of mankind as we know it.
(Squeaking continues) (Man) I am receiving you.
Over.
(Static hisses) They've mobilized the troops for the cathedral.
Then it's only a matter of time till they find the cross.
I'll be ahead of them.
It is now time for you to do your part.
We'll be ready to take on the cargo.
(Static hisses) A crew of the most faithful, ready to die so the cross might endure.
And you? Are you ready? With eternity itself at stake, I only wish I had more than one life to give.
To eternity.
To eternity.
(Radio clatters) (Bell tolls) (Tires squeal) (Laila) Keep your head down.
The Shepherds have eyes everywhere.
And stay close.
I'll teach you how to avoid the cameras.
Yeah, how to change my identity, how to shoot a gun.
Hank I don't want to be like you, Laila.
Yeah, well, if you want to make it through today, you're gonna have to be.
Look, I am not proud of everything I've done Then why did you do it? Oh, that's right.
God told you to.
Yeah, is that so hard to believe? Can you honestly say that nothing that you’ve seen or heard over the last few weeks None of that feels like a sign to you? (Man) Hey, mes amis.
I'll take your bag, please? Yes.
Uh, best ride, best price, best everything.
Hey? Oui.
(Speaks French) Regardless of what I've done, what I am doing now, I'm doing to save your life so that maybe you and I Okay, we're not gonna make this about you and me.
There is no you and me, you understand? We are just two people with a common goal to find the cross.
Where to, mes amis? (Both) Strasbourg Cathedral.
Ah.
Yeah.
Got a hit.
One of Laila Galliston's aliases Booked a flight to Dublin, left six hours ago.
Move on it.
Interpol, Irish, everybody.
I think you should hold up on that, sir.
There is a bigger picture here.
The only picture I'm thinking about is the one of a dead priest and of a man that you've been spending a lot of time with who fled the crime scene with a missing woman who you've been supposedly hunting down.
You got Dublin yet? Better call Athens while you're at it.
One of her knowns booked a reservation on a flight to Athens.
Another one to La Paz, Bolivia.
I got Mozambique, Krakow.
Who the hell is this woman? (Man) Laila Galliston, Anna Massey.
The rest of the aliases are coming to you.
The moment is upon us.
For the first time in history, God himself is now at risk.
There is to be no negotiation, no dialogue.
Just death and proof of death.
Both Hank and Laila Galliston die today.
(Panting) (Arron) Something feels nasty, Ray.
Hank's off the reservation and his phone keeps going to voice mail.
Hank knows what he's doing.
I don't know.
Something feels different.
Women can make men do stupid things.
Did I ever tell you about that night I ran around Times Square wearing nothing but a bike helmet and bunny slippers? (Cell phone rings) (Beep) Hello? (Hank) Hey, Rachel.
It's me.
Hank.
(Beep) I-I just want to let you guys know that I'm fine.
I'm with Laila.
Um (Arron) Hank, Hank, you cannot trust her, okay? She She knows the score, and so do I.
(Rachel) Where are you? Strasbourg, but listen to me.
Okay, the Shepherds are desperate now.
They will come for you.
I want you to go to the FBI and find Beck, okay? She can protect you.
I'm not so sure about that.
Why not? Someone tipped off the Shepherds right before the FBI raided them.
I heard the phone call, Hank.
Are you saying there's they have somebody on the inside? I'm saying, until we know who did it, we can't trust anyone in the FBI, not even Beck.
Mr.
Ryan, I'll have to call you back.
All right, people.
It just became the weekend.
Let's go.
Except you two.
Your cross was loaded on a sub somewhere here in this area.
And we know eventually, the sub ends up here, without the cross.
Assuming that the fuel log was accurate, it has to be somewhere between those locations.
A few more days, you'll have your relic.
Oh, I'll have much more than that, Mr.
Vincent.
When you leave tonight, I want you to take someone with you.
Well, I work alone.
The care and discretion the holiest of holies requires is beyond your purview.
I believe you two already know each other.
Come in.
Molars.
My old friend.
Happy to see me? With all deliberate haste, Vincent.
The Shepherds aren't that far behind.
The Shepherds are chasing clocks and playing with puzzles.
They no longer pose a threat.
(Bell tolls) (Laila, lowered voice) Just so we're clear, I was a foot soldier.
I did what they told me to do.
(Lowered voice) Right.
You were just following orders? Where have I heard that before? That's my point.
It's getting harder And harder to work out who the bad guys are.
I think I have a pretty good idea.
I'm here, Hank.
I chose you.
I saved you.
I know.
I'm trying to figure out why.
Why don't we start by trying to figure out why those clocks lead back here? Suddenly I'm thinking I have a pretty damn good idea.
Those two you were looking for, I just dropped them off.
If you want to know where they are, pay up.
(Chuckles) Ah! (Grunts) Oh! (Neck snaps) Zero Hour 01x08 Winding Let me guess.
You're supposed to be good cop.
Yep.
Just like you see on TV.
Well, how come I don't get bad cop? You think you could handle it? I mean, you're no Serpico.
I could go Serpico if you want me to.
(Beck) Do you know where she is? No.
Have you spoken with him? No.
Why don't you save some time and just assume I'm gonna say "no" to everything? Look, this is not about me being good cop or whatever.
Hank is in real danger, and his life could literally depend on us finding him.
Or he could be in worse danger if you do find him.
What's that supposed to mean? You tell me.
Rachel, there is no version where you haven't spoken with him.
He trusts you a hell of a lot more than he trusts that woman.
Is that jealousy by any chance? That's experience.
Why do you want him so bad? To be honest, right now I don't really care about Hank.
He wants to make his bed, fine.
Laila on the other hand, we have unfinished business.
(Chair scrapes floor) She knows what happened to my husband.
And I'm thinking that she has answers for you, too.
So why don't we help each other? What is going on, Rachel? Have I not proved myself to you? I've risked my job and my life for you guys.
And now that I need something from you, this is what I get? If you want something from me, you're gonna have to do a little housecleaning first.
What's that supposed to mean? It means someone in the FBI is passing notes with the Shepherds.
The raid yesterday They sure seemed ready for it, didn't they? And you think I tipped them off? Who else knew about it? You want to hide a secret, the ultimate secret, you do it in something like this.
Look.
Right there.
Rosicrucians.
"The pilgrim that would seek God "in eternity "must see the two faces of time.
How it is both stopped and moving at once.
" "In that combination lies the road to all that is holy.
" (Bells tolling) Right on the hour.
After all these centuries, still right on the hour.
Excuse me.
The figurines, who are they? The 12 apostles.
Look there, that symbol.
The builder's square.
It's the mark of St.
Thomas.
I've seen that before.
White Vincent showed it to me on the pocket watch.
He asked me if I knew what it was.
Right.
And there, that's the mark of St.
Bartholomew.
It was on the clock that you bought at the flea market.
But what does it all mean? I think each one of these clocks is supposed to match up with a clock we found out there.
But how? (Whispers) Shh.
(Whispers) Don't move.
(Indistinct conversations) - Hold still.
- What's wrong? Oh, Lord.
Please no.
Do you know him? I know of him.
But if he knows you, you're already dead.
Oh, monsieur, excusez-moi.
You can't walk through there.
Hey, sir.
(Grunting) (Neck snaps) (Woman screams) (All talking at same time) (Ship creaking) Do you remember when you used to make tea for me? It feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? Yes.
Well, we had our differences.
But I loved the way you brewed tea.
I even had a dream about your tea once.
Some people say tea in a dream signifies a desire for companionship.
Well I don't dream about tea anymore.
Now I dream about a man with a gun A face I can't see.
And he shoots me right here.
They say you can't die in your dreams because you wake up.
But I don't.
Do you know what it does to a man to suffer the pain of death every single night of his life? Oh.
I came for a reason.
Yes? I forgot.
A-as you know, uh, Ms.
Lynch brought me on to deal with some of the more delicate aspects of the cross' recovery.
And? I took the liberty of applying those skills to some of the more challenging, uh, pieces you found on the submarine Maps, journals.
We dehumidified them (Chair creaks) And structurally stabilized them.
They should be legible now.
We really should have tea again someday, Molars.
(White Vincent's voice) "As commander of a submarine, "I've become convinced that I'm central to the effort to save the cross.
" (Radio beeping) "There are nobler souls "like my brother-in-faith Korbin Sturm, "but it is only I, "the Wolf Of The Sea, "that can take the cross from the night "And make it disappear forever from evil hands.
"We will die for this "for commandeering a submarine, for defying the Reich.
" (Alarm blaring) "The path of the martyr is not easy.
"But in the company of believers, "of brothers, it is possible.
" "I undertake this mission as much for them as God.
" Good to see you again, brother.
You as well, brother.
That man in the cathedral A Shepherd assassin known as the Golem.
He's a walking death sentence.
They've marked us, Hank.
There's no way we can undo it now.
Yeah, there is.
We get the cross.
We've done this.
To them, you and the cross cannot coexist.
But why me, huh? I don't know.
We've gotta destroy it.
You think the church is gonna be thankful that we desecrated their holiest relic, that they're just gonna let us walk away? We have to get the cross to people who can protect us, people who can submit it to rigorous scientific analysis so we can find out once and for all whether or not there's magic in it or if it's just two really old planks of wood.
You don't like that plan, you can walk.
Where? I've got nowhere else to go.
Then let's start figuring it out.
(Cell phone rings) (Ring) How you doing, Hank? We need to see the clocks.
You with her? Yes, I am.
Listen, we're very near the end.
- I need - I don't care what you need, Hank.
I've been fighting for you this whole time.
I've been honest with you this whole time, and you ditched me.
You don't want to help Hank, that's fine.
But not he's not the only one looking for answers, am I right? I have them, Beck.
I can tell you about your husband, but only if I'm still breathing, which isn't gonna be for long if we don't get those clocks.
You think I'm gonna trust you? You're insane.
It's either us or that agency you work for, the one riddled with big ears and loose lips.
You don't know that.
Oh, I don't? Faith is a lot stronger than a government paycheck, trust me.
Everything all right out here, Riley? Everything's fine.
It's fine.
She she doesn't know anything.
Do you believe that we have lived before? The universe has given us no proof of that.
But if we had Do you think we're consigned by fate to be the same through time? For evil always to be evil, good to always be good? As a mariner, I always thought I'd be buried on a hilltop somewhere A view of the sea, east-facing so the sun would rise on my grave and I'd be warm.
Only thing man's guaranteed in life is a death.
And I'm ready for that.
But this (Sighs) You're telling me we are going to bury it in the middle of nowhere? In a humble and anonymous place where only the 12 will know to look.
It's the true cross.
It deserves grandeur.
We can take it to America, build a basilica.
The plan has been set.
Apostles have been chosen.
The clocks are sent out.
Lives have been lost to build this chain.
We cannot break it now.
But to bury so beautiful a thing in the mud Jesus said "Split a piece of wood, I am there.
"Lift a stone, you will find me there.
" What matters is, the cross is safe, not whether it's wreathed in gold.
Understand, brother, all loves within me pale for the one I feel for what's in that box.
And I pray to God for guidance that we are doing the right thing.
God's not up there.
He's here.
Good night, brother.
(Man) Two dead in France already? I told you, he doesn't negotiate.
It's our position now, and he is the executor of our position.
Then why do we send one man? He's only the tip of the spear.
We have eyes everywhere in Strasbourg, combing the streets, the hotels.
(Snaps fingers) Thank God it's you.
Did you bring the clocks? As soon as I get what I want, you'll get what you want.
As discussed, us two ladies are gonna have a conversation.
Before you even start I like that man out there.
I like those kids.
You lie to me And I will kill you if only to get you away from them.
(Sighs) Your husband was a bioengineer if I'm correct? Worked on ways to preserve fossilized plants Let's begin with something I don't know, like why you were supposed to be sitting next to him on his flight.
Your husband received a research grant from an organization called The 41 Trust, who we believe are a front for the Pyrates.
When they make a significant financial investment in something or someone, we want to know why.
He never told me about any grant.
The Pyrates believed that he'd discovered something that would help them achieve their goal.
Which is? To bring about the end of days.
(Scoffs) (Sighs) Do you go to church, Ms.
Riley? Yeah, every Sunday.
So then you know, to the true believers, that means deliverance.
When the sinners burn and the worthy go to heaven, yeah, I know my Bible.
Okay, well, the Pyrates believe that God gave man free will, that through science, they will be the vessels that bring about the apocalypse.
And how was my husband's work supposed to help them do that? I don't know.
I was supposed to connect with Theo, make him see things the way we do.
But I didn't get that chance.
I missed the flight.
And so since you couldn't have him, you decided nobody could? No, that plane crash was Vincent.
You've always been right about that.
It just (Exhales) It doesn't make sense.
If the Pyrates wanted my husband so badly, why would they murder him? I've been asking myself that question till this very moment.
I need a drink.
(Rachel) So the riddle on the cathedral clock is, "The pilgrim that would seek God in eternity must see the two faces of time.
" (Beep) "How it is both stopped and moving at once.
In that combination lies the road to all that is holy.
" I don't get it.
How can time be both stopped and moving? This one.
I remember Vincent wanted help with it.
The gears, they were soldered.
Soldered.
Time stopped.
Well, yeah, but they were all stopped, right? I mean, none of them actually worked anymore.
Or maybe they were working exactly as they were meant to.
And the clocks in the cathedral, they're still moving.
"In that combination lies the road to all that is holy.
" Okay, so how do we combine 'em? Not combine.
In combination.
Like a combination lock.
Maybe we're supposed to set the times on the clocks that are moving to the exact times of the clocks that have stopped.
And then what, it just opens and shows us where the cross is? Yeah, easy enough except for the 20 French cops guarding the crime scene in the cathedral.
We could always go "American Werewolf In Paris" with it.
Ancient tunnels underneath the cities of France where the Lycan council would meet? "American Werewolf," really, nobody? (Whispers) Oh.
You don't think that was maybe something the movie just made up? Well, I don't see why they would just make that up.
It's a movie about werewolves.
(Paige) He's right.
They used to be burial crypts.
If it wasn't Sunday, we could take a tour.
Look, they go everywhere.
See? One runs right under the cathedral.
I guess this is where we part ways.
(Keys jangle) We were never here.
Wait.
If we're gonna get in to this cathedral, we're gonna need you.
Why is that? Because you're the only two that the Shepherds won't be looking for.
Gendarmes are closing up.
There's a couple of guys posted outside.
Currently there is no sign of a Golem.
Just one hour.
That's all I ask.
And then you can be on your way.
And, Beck, thank you.
Next time I need your help on a stakeout, don't think I'm not calling your ass.
Copy that.
(Beep) So this is the entrance to the catacombs.
It's locked.
We need to try and find something to break that or pick it somehow.
(Grunts) (Gate clanks and creaks) What? Is that something they taught you in Sunday school? Look, if anybody comes, just give us a call.
I'm the one with the gun, so you should call me.
They're on their way in.
There's only one way out and only a little girl in your way.
(Water dripping) So is there, uh, there something going on with you and that girl Paige? Really? You're gonna jump back in and play mom? Come on.
That's not what I'm trying to do.
I just You hurt Hank so bad.
Yeah, and you and Rachel.
And there's not a minute goes by that I don't regret it, that You can't regret something that you lied about and plotted and hid from us for four years.
I mean, even hearing you now (Scoffs) It's like every piece of advice you gave, every joke you told, every time you said, "I love you, guys," it wasn't even your voice saying it.
It's this way.
This should take us under the cathedral.
(White Vincent's voice) "I am a dead man walking, Lord, "I know that.
"I ask only for guidance.
"For I am a mile below the surface of the world, "wracked with fear that I will do the wrong thing.
" (Loud clank, metal groaning) Why have we changed course? Because I'm no longer willing to relegate the greatest religious symbol in history to ignominious burial.
That is not your choice to make.
I am the commander of the submarine.
It is.
Commander, sir.
We're veering And I am the commander of the mission! The church has spoken.
The 12 have lost their way.
The location of the cross must be secret.
If it is in public, it is in danger.
Turn around.
I have only one life to give.
I've chosen my course.
Don't do this, brother.
(Unholsters gun) You would shoot me, a friend so dear that you call me brother? We're to die with the cross' secret.
That has always been the plan.
We divert from the path, the 12 will be unable to find it.
We will know it's location, but our own knowledge will be a threat.
I will not put it in the mud.
Please, I tell you this one more time Turn around.
You had better shoot me.
My conviction is as deep as yours, brother.
Don't do this, brother.
Don't do this.
Please.
(Moans) Armin, brother, forgive me.
(Exhales) (Strained voice) That grave on the hilltop I always imagined something grand for my children to weep and exaggerate the glory of my accomplishments.
Yet now I weep for something else.
No need, brother.
I am here.
I wonder can men be brothers in heaven When one killed the other? (White Vincent's voice) "The crew mourns "the death of Commander Dietrich, "but also knows the mission is bigger than a single man.
"We continue our course "on a heading of north 5 degrees.
Acting commander, Martin Krupp.
" (Pants) You guys keep an eye out.
All right, there's got to be some sort of access panel, a-a way to set the clocks.
Here we go.
This.
This has gotta be it.
(Grunts) (Laila) This is it.
Ready to turn back some time? There's nothing I'd like more.
Um, okay.
Where do we start? James.
3:15.
James 3:15.
Got it.
(Grunts) (Clicks and squeaks) Yeah.
(Rumbles) (Clicking) (Hank) Keep going.
Turn.
Turn.
And stop.
(Rumbling) (Bell dings) It's working.
(Bell dings) What's next? Thaddeus.
Um 2:11.
Thaddeus.
Yes.
Yes, Thaddeus.
(Squeaks) (Rumbling and clicking) I did not think when I took this job that I'd be risking my life all over the world.
Scared? (Bell dings) Well, I got you here to protect me.
Right.
(Bell dings) I was hoping you'd be the one to protect me.
(Bell dings) I am, Ray.
If anybody came at you, I'd cut 'em in half.
(Chuckles) You'd fight for me? You're like a sister.
Not like a sister.
I didn't mean like a "sister" sister.
I mean - But you you get me - Quit while you're ahead, okay? (Phone rings) Come on, Paige.
Where are you? (Cell phone rings) (Ring) (Exhales) (Beep) Son of a bitch.
Excusez-moi.
Je suis de bureau federal d'investigation American.
Non.
(Speaks French) (Hank) Stop.
(Bell dings) All right.
What's next? (Bell dings) Okay, the last one Matthew.
It's in military time.
1821.
That's, uh, 6 6:21.
What? Matthew 18:21.
It's a biblical verse about forgiveness.
In it, the apostles ask Jesus how many times someone should be forgiven after they sin against another person.
And Jesus says a person should be forgiven not just seven times but 70 times 7.
I'm only asking for one, Hank.
You don't give up, do you? Actually, I gave up everything.
I forgive you.
(Creaks) (Rumbling and clicking) And stop.
(Clattering) (Bell dings) I don't get it.
(Bell dings) That can't be it.
(Rachel) I thought it was supposed to tell us where the true cross is? (Clattering) Matthias.
The 13th apostle.
Hidden inside the clock all those years.
(Paige) If you don't mind, I'll take it.
I said I'll take it.
Paige, what are you doing? You went off the rails, girl.
Shepherds gave you a life with meaning, and you pissed it away.
You don't need to do this.
Paige, please.
Pray.
Pray for your eternal salvation.
Paige.
On your knees, now! You can murder us standing up.
I was trying to give you a way out.
(Racks slide) I was trying to save you.
(Gunshot) (Gun clatters) And we have our mole.
(Sighs) (Beck) That's a big smile for someone who's about to tell me everything, like who hired you, who you're reporting to.
Dead women don't ask questions.
Oh! Uhh! (Man shouts indistinctly) (Beck) Stay back! Stop! Stop! (Men grunting) (Gunfire) Go! Go! (Gunshot) (Door creaks) (Paige) Oh.
Thank God.
I thought you weren't gonna come back.
You gotta get me outta here.
The cops are gonna ask questions.
(Molars) Well, there's only one land mass where they could've hid the cross on a bearing of north 5 degrees from that location.
(Ship creaking) Do you remember I told you about the man that kills me in my dreams, that I can't see his face? It seems to have come to me.
Well, most scientific research says dreams are just mental garbage working its way out of the system.
Or perhaps it's the past telling you that there's a debt that needs repaying.
You know the man? I do.
I did.
But only now I know about his sin.
And for that sin, he's going to have to die.
This is supposed to be the answer, the location of the cross.
But all I've got right now are quest (Clicks) What is that? That I'm guessing Is our answer.
Surveillance spotted Vincent on a research vessel northwest of England.
He's headed for the Faroes.
It's a tiny group of islands between Iceland and Ireland.
(Hank) Latin.
"True cross.
Faroe Islands.
" How the hell did he figure that out? (Cell phone chimes) (Beck) Here comes the footage.
Maybe this will tell us.
Hey.
Listen, I want you guys to go to New York.
Laila and I have one more stop before this is over.
Take care of Arron.
Okay? Be careful.
You, too.
Hey.
You sure you want to do this? I didn't come this far to stop now.
You all right? You look like you've seen a ghost.
I have.
(Pants) That's Portsmouth, England, yesterday.
I don't understand.
I see White Vincent.
Not Vincent.
The other guy.
That's Theo.
(Voice breaks) That's my husband.
