Zero Hour s01e12 Episode Script

Ratchet

Previously on "zero hour" What am i looking at? A blueprint for the son of god.
They didn't want the cross.
They wanted what was inside of it.
The blood of christ.
Remember what happens Right before the end of the world? Christ returns to earth.
There is to be no negotiation, Just death and proof of death.
Hank and laila die today.
You'd fight for me? If anybody came at you, i'd cut 'em in half.
You do believe in god? I believe that there are things beyond our comprehension.
Is one of those things a higher power? I don't know.
I draw.
Helps me see things.
Things i don't want to forget.
You really think you can fix me? Your eyes will be sensitive for a while.
It didn't work.
Vision is a little bit off.
You didn't come here To save me, did you, laila? Beck, they're getting away.
Come here, pretty one.
Don't shoot! He's got a hostage! 11 is the number of birth, The fruit of a mother's womb.
But the child that comes forth Shall bring impending doom.
I'm looking for n35ag.
Alpha whatever "g" is.
Hey, will you go get that printout, please? Thank you.
Hank! We got nothing.
Wherever they went, Wherever they took rachel, they're in the wind now.
Yeah, well, they're in a helicopter.
They couldn't have gotten far.
No, they didn't.
That's the point.
We found the copter Ditched at an airstrip in maine.
An airstrip, it turns out, Where a gulfstream licensed to the 41 trust was hangared.
A plane like that holds 5,000 miles worth of fuel.
They could be anywhere by now.
Keep lookin'! Mickle.
Why'd you let me go to sleep? You've been through a lot.
Sometimes turning the brain off for 20 minutes Is the best thing you can do.
Laila--She's, uh They told me.
I'm sorry.
Why does religion do this to people? It's not religion, it's man's faulty interpretation of it.
We somehow think killing in the name of god Will give us what we want, While forgetting one of the first things he said.
"Thou shalt not kill.
" What is this? Oh, uh it's old habit.
Write down my dreams so i don't forget 'em.
Vespers? It's a name.
Some sort of explorer.
And olive trees? Does it matter? Indulge me.
They were carrying them in the snow.
Look, we shouldn't be talking about this now.
We need to find rachel.
Right.
Arron? What about cell phones? Vincent's and lynch-- Anything on them? I've had this blindfold on for long enough, don't you think? Where are we? Welcome to the holiest of the holies.
Take her to the room if you could.
Make sure she has a bed with the others.
Gentlemen, you are seeing something Very few eyes ever have-- The monastery of st.
John of patmos, A place long hidden from the world.
Excuse me, ms.
Lynch.
If i could have a moment? As far as i know, uh, i'm not necessary anymore.
I've given you what you want.
We lost dr.
Galliston yesterday.
The man who was going to spearhead the cloning work.
The good news is, he provided a template for us.
For you.
Uh um I'm not, um I'm not proficient in that sort of But you do have the necessary information now.
Step by step.
Have you forgotten the reason you came on? Your ambition to sequence the blood of christ? My thought was i could publish-- In the "journal of science, medicine.
" Show the world what we've done.
Oh, the world will know, theo.
But first we've got to finish what we've begun.
What is this? You're to hand off your weapons, mr.
Vincent.
No, thank you.
This is a house of god.
It's a non-Negotiable point.
The lord said, "love thy enemy.
" He never said to trust him.
Where are you taking me? Your questions are annoying me.
Well, at least tell me what country we're in.
Hey! Foreign number! Hey, track it! Hello? Arron.
Rachel.
Oh, my god, are you-- Where--Where are you? I don't know.
Um, i'm in some monastery somewhere.
Guys have accents.
It sounds like they're eastern european-- Arron! Rachel! Wh-- You get it? Did you get it?! Tell me you tracked that.
It looks like it was a sat phone, So we should be able to iso it on gps.
Just What? The location it's showing-- It's not on this earth.
™ª Okay, how about we go over this one more time? Now, the signal is telling you what, exactly? Your friend's call is not geo-Locating On the surface of this world.
Does that not say "gulf of thailand"? It says a hundred miles beneath the gulf of thailand.
Hundred-- That's what i'm trying to tell you.
I've never gotten a reading like this before.
They're scrambling it.
So let's unscramble it.
I don't know how the hell to do it, but i'll try.
Do you speak english? I do.
Good.
Can you tell me where i am? A waiting room.
I guess you'd call it that, right? A waiting room? A good sort of waiting room.
A waiting room for what? For heaven.
Have you seen mickle? No, but i got something.
Gps uses four satellites to locate an object, right? Mm-Hmm.
Rachel's call gave us three over tajikistan And a fourth over perth, australia.
That can't be right, 'Cause they're halfway across the world from each other.
They must have re-Coded one to act as a decoy, Broadcast a false signal from the other side of the world-- You skew the data.
I built a map Based on where the three known satellites overlap, And the probabilities of whether they overlap Now, it's either east or west of this area in tajikistan.
Oh.
I'd say east.
Blacked-Out airspace.
Somebody very powerful Does not want people to look there.
It's a great group here.
From all over the world.
Like a noah's ark of girls.
How'd you end up here? In my village, it hadn't rained in almost a year.
Many people were dying.
The 41 trust came in-- With food, medicine.
Ms.
Lynch was there the day my mother passed.
She took me in, brought me here-- Into this family.
She gave us all this incredible place to live.
Clothing, school.
For orphans like us, We never would have had that otherwise.
Orphans.
You, too? Yeah, but But what? Do you guys always stay in here? Mostly, but it's not like we can't do what we want.
Then why's the door locked from the outside? Yamin.
She's the first to be chosen.
Chosen for what? Oh.
I can't believe it.
This Is the blood of christ.
A viable, living strain of d.
N.
A.
, After 2,000 years of dormancy.
Resurrection, theo.
Life born from death.
Almost makes you want to be a believer, doesn't it? I don't know what to believe anymore, but this This is incredible.
And per the template dr.
Galliston laid out, It can be propagated? Theoretically, yes.
Like dolly the sheep, You'd remove the genetic information From an unfertilized egg, Slide in the new d.
N.
A.
, put it in vitro And let natural birth occur.
Perhaps it's time to get started.
Oh They have done something to me, haven't they? That's a lot of blacked-Out airspace.
It's gotta be at least 200 square miles.
Area 51's only blacked out for 20.
Impossible.
What is? So i figured if we can't see what's there digitally, We'd go old school.
It's just a bunch of wilderness.
You're missing something.
The satellite image has two mountain ranges On either side of the blacked-Out space.
And on this map, there is only one.
Looks like they pinched them together on the map, Made one range.
But on the satellite, there are definitely two, With a valley in between Underneath the blacked-Out space.
What the hell's going on here? Maybe the map's wrong.
Well, then this map would have to be wrong.
And this one, too.
Look at that.
Three different maps.
Three different cartographers over hundreds of years, And all of them omit the valley.
You know what you're saying, don't you? Conspiracy.
Big one.
Huge.
We're talking about hiding a chunk of land The size of rhode island.
It can't be done.
It's already been done.
The question is, what are they hiding? Hail mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou amongst women, And blessed is the fruit of thy womb, jesus.
Fruit of thy womb.
The burmese girl-- There's been a complication.
What's going on? I don't know.
I It was standard in vitro procedure.
We implanted the egg, everything was fine, Then she goes into cardiac arrest.
We need to hold off until we know what we're dealing with.
We know what we're dealing with.
We don't.
We just tried to put 2,000-Year-Old d.
N.
A.
Into a woman's body, and that woman's body rejected it.
Or did the d.
N.
A.
Reject her? This isn't just some 40-Year-Old soccer mom Trying to get pregnant.
We're talking about the son of god.
Why do you think mary was chosen? Because she had the right d.
N.
A.
? It was because the purity in her heart was unsurpassed.
That's the type of host we need to be looking for.
What are you doing? I'm looking for a way out.
Everyone is homesick at first But you'll learn.
There's nothing but love here.
Yeah? Is that why they keep us locked in here, To keep all the love from getting out? They'd like to see you up in the chapel, alima.
Don't go with him.
You're wrong about this place, rachel.
It couldn't have been an oversight, right? The mapmakers would have to know that a valley was there.
Maybe not.
Little-Known thing about cartography-- Lots of plagiarism.
Ever hear of "trap streets"? It's a little trick where a mapmaker Would create a street that doesn't exist, a trap.
And if that street shows up on a later map, They know that that map copied theirs.
So people would just blindly copy the mapmaker before them? With whatever new that's been discovered, But, yeah, for a long time, that's exactly how it was.
So if there was a conspiracy to hide the valley, I mean, it couldn't take much.
If the area's remote enough, Few people go back and re-Map it.
That is, until satellites started doing the work for them.
Technology changes, and they're still hiding it.
It's positively thrilling, hank.
And frightening.
Mm.
I've got a couple of other maps i want to run against this.
Be back in a minute.
Get that look off your face, okay? We're gonna go there And we're gonna bring rachel home.
We keep asking where they took her, But we haven't asked why.
I mean, they already got what they wanted from you, So Mickle, what are you doing here? I brought some people to see you.
What the hell is going on? It's not what you think, hank.
They can help.
How? I told them what you saw.
The olive trees, vespers.
Mateus vespers, to be precise.
A man we've been looking for for 500 years.
I'm not dealing with these people.
They tried to kill me.
Hank, you're the rationalist.
If we wanted you dead at this moment, you would be.
The fact is, your life and death mean nothing now.
The pyrates have taken what they wanted.
They have the blood of christ.
And only you Seem to know where they've taken it.
It was a dream.
No, hank.
It was a vision.
You saw into the past.
1452-- There was a schism in the church Over chapter 7 of revelations, Where it is written that 144,000 people Will be saved when the end of days comes.
Who are the 144,000? If you ask the pyrates, Only the descendants of the 12 tribes of israel.
Holy bloodlines, noblemen, clergy, Captains of industry and commerce--The powerful.
But the church disagreed, Saying salvation was for all christians.
So the pyrates broke with the church, Went to the mount of olives in the dead of night And stole branches from the sacred trees.
Why? Scripture says The apocalypse will begin not at the mount of olives In jerusalem, But instead a new mount of olives In a new jerusalem.
So the pyrates decided to just make one? Give the apocalypse a little nudge? The shepherds have been looking for this new jerusalem For 500 years.
And somehow You saw it, hank.
I didn't see anything.
After all you've witnessed Why do you find it hard to believe That maybe god visited you?! That maybe he Put those images in your head? Because if i were him, I wouldn't choose hank galliston.
Saul was a nonbeliever, too, Until the lord showed him a vision On the road to damascus.
Saul was a saint.
I am an editor of a magazine.
With a missing staff writer who i desperately want back.
What we want is in the same place.
Do you think this is where they've gone? This new jerusalem? The pyrates have waited five centuries For this moment.
It's the only place they'd go.
What did you see, hank? Where are they? They turn on me, it's on you, mickle.
I only agreed to do this because of you.
Trust me, where we're going, You're gonna want every one of them.
This pilot says he can get us to the interior.
In this thing? It's tajikistan.
Take what you can get.
Beck, you ready? I'm trying to decide if i'm hoping he's there or not.
Something good has to come out of all of this for someone.
Maybe it's you.
Yeah.
It's been two hours since the fertilization procedure.
She's stable.
Resting comfortably.
Her body--It's accepted the d.
N.
A.
? It would appear so.
Not again.
Blood pressure's dropping.
I've never seen it fall this fast.
It-- It's like the life is being drained out of her.
Son of a bitch! E.
E.
G.
'S flatlining.
Will someone tell me what is happening to her? All nerve activity in her head Just stopped.
He says there's nothing out here, No military installations, nothing that would warrant Any kind of blackout.
He says the terrain's so bad, Not even tajiks come this far.
What is it, hank? The three mountains-- It's what i saw in my dream.
What the hell is happening to me? I can't do this anymore.
You say that like you have a choice, dr.
Riley.
This doesn't trouble you? Having blood on your hands like this? Blood on my hands? Have you forgotten what we're trying to achieve here? We're talking about deliverance into the kingdom of heaven.
Every one of us is going to die.
You're out of your mind.
Say that again.
We have an array of young women Still available to us, All with different genetic makeup.
We just haven't found the right optimum host.
So why don't you find us one? Rachel.
I understand.
She goes back.
I understand there was a development.
Turns out we didn't need another.
What do you mean? She stabilized-- Blood pressure, e.
E.
G.
Everything suddenly went back to normal, Like someone rebooted her system.
And the fertilization? Still viable.
Then she carries the child.
Navigation's down, he's saying.
Comms, too! He's dumping his fuel! He's telling everyone to brace! We're going down! What the hell happened? He says it just died.
He's never seen anything like it before.
All systems at once.
We lost two.
Tried calling out, but no signal.
Something's happening.
What did they do to you? I'm still trying to understand Why you let her go.
I mean, the amount of tests we still need to run Let her rest.
She's served her purpose.
They were always just going to be The first round of experiments.
You must have known that.
They have the bodies For pregnancy, certainly, But the wisdom, the spiritual certitude To follow this through? They're hardly more than girls.
She served her purpose.
She proved it could be done.
Now it's time for the real work to begin.
With the one that'll actually bear the child.
Then who? Oh, theo Don't you know? If i asked you for help, Would you give it to me? You have great trust in you.
Why is that? That's the way she raised you, Isn't it? So you would never question.
We're outsiders here.
Captive behind locked doors.
If i didn't want to be here, Would you help me to leave? All right.
My gun--Do you know where it is? Would you get it for me? What are they saying? That it's impossible-- Fire burning on snow.
The lake of fire from revelations.
It's a sign the end has begun.
It's just jet fuel that the pilot dumped.
Somehow it ignited.
It's amazing that a man with such sight Cannot see what's right before him.
They're gone! They're gone! What happened?! What happened?! The other four are gone! Go back! Go back! Go easy, go easy! Go easy! What are you talking about? Tell us! He's coming! Who's coming? It comes, it comes, it comes It comes, it comes, it comes, It comes.
Complete psychic break.
He can't tell us anything.
He just keeps saying the same thing Over and over and over.
The others are gone.
No sign.
The moon-- The moon is under her feet.
That's why-- That's why it comes.
That's why it comes.
The beast-- It comes for her.
For who? For the woman, the woman.
For the woman, For she is with child.
It's taken.
She is with child.
What he's saying is revelations-- Chapter 12, first 2 verses.
"And there appeared" "Appeared a great dragon.
"His--His tail drew the third part "Of the stars of heaven, and he cast them to the earth.
"The dragon came for the woman, "To devour her child As soon as it is born.
" Seems he has more fidelity to you than he does me.
After all these years i've reared him.
He's incapable of saying no, isn't he? Which was always the experiment-- To see if i had the maternal instinct To take a cloned child-- An imperfect result of experimentation-- And create something angelic.
He has no hate Nor will he.
He's yours if you want him.
His relationship with me was never to be forever.
Or perhaps you'd like to shoot me.
I want to be fixed.
Which is why you brokered a deal with galliston Back on plum island behind my back.
Just as you brokered one with him behind my back.
You think i don't know everything that happens Under my watch? You don't think i made sure what ended up In that needle galliston used? Yes, vincent.
I can fix you.
Repair every genetic imperfection So that you may actually be human.
But you, of course, will have to do one last thing for me.
You have wondered, haven't you, why you're here? Because You are one of the 144,000.
Despite your current iteration, The blood you come from hearkens back through germany, Through the dietrich family, all the way back To the 12 tribes of israel.
I You've got holy blood, vincent.
Not only can we fix you, We can save you.
But you need to do one last thing.
Raise your gun a final time In service of a greater mercy.
You want me to kill.
That is what you were put on this earth for.
I think you'd agree.
Who? Come, my beautiful girls.
All these months and years We've tried to please god, haven't we? The prayers, the study, the service.
I think he's so pleased.
I just came in to tell you that, And to make sure you know That this is not the end.
It's just a doorway to better things, right? I love you all.
We need to get out of here.
Now.
I don't want them to suffer.
I know they're not the chosen, but they have served god.
I'd rather they die now than witness what'll come next.
May i raise him to the light, lord
