Zero Hour s01e13 Episode Script

Spring

Previously on "Zero Hour" I believe there are things beyond comprehension.
Is one of those things god? I don't know.
Why do you find it hard to believe? Wherever they went, wherever they took rachel, They could be anywhere by now.
We keep asking where they took her, But we haven't asked why.
Can you tell me where i am? A waiting room.
A waiting room for what? We remove the genetic information, put it in vitro, And let natural birth occur.
And she carries the child.
Now it's time With the one that'll actually bear the son of god.
Rachel, where-- Where are you? I'm in some monastery somewhere.
I brought some people to see you.
They can help.
We're gonna go there, And we're gonna bring rachel home.
Something's happening.
I want to be fixed.
I can fix you, but you need to do one last thing.
You want me to kill.
Zero is the number of mystery, An hour with no friend.
Sometimes it's the beginning.
Sometimes it's the end.
"And all those who live on the earth Will worship the beast" "Everyone whose name has not been written "Since the foundation of the world "In the book of life.
"If anyone has an ear, He had better listen.
" "If anyone is meant for captivity, Into captivity he will go.
" "If anyone is to be killed by the sword, Then by the sword he must be killed.
" "This requires steadfast endurance And faith from the saints.
" You're gonna get us in trouble.
You're already in trouble.
This place is not what you think it is.
We have to get out of here.
You have the most uncanny ability To show up at just the right time.
Thank you.
There's something i'm going to do now, Something i don't want you to see.
But in return of doing this, I'm going to get that woman to fix you, Just as she's going to fix me.
Would you like that? We'll be fine, you and me.
I promise.
I say we stay.
Ms.
Lynch knows what's best for us.
Did ms.
Lynch know what was best for yamin? Aren't you wondering where she is? Why she never came back? She's right.
The time has come for us to leave this place.
This way.
This is just like the door to my apartment.
12 handles? 12 like the numbers on a clock.
Seriously? Does everything have to be about a clock with you people? Is that what this is? Another puzzle? 12 possible ways to open the door.
Actually, if it's not about the right handle, But the right order of handles, Then there's thousands of possible ways.
We don't have that kind of time.
A lion a castle A ship.
Like they're telling some kind of story.
Well, maybe if we could figure out the story We could figure out the way in.
It's locked.
All right, the one thing that we learned From the puzzles in the clocks Is that the answers always had something to do With who designed them, right? So who designed this? It had to be a true believer, Someone who thought that this was where They were gonna greet the apocalypse.
Gentlemen, i want to thank you for your dedicated service.
We've waited long for this moment, And the time is finally upon us.
It is as it is written.
Okay, new testament-- When jesus returned, Do we know who was chosen to ascend to heaven? The descendents of the 12 tribes of israel.
God It's coming.
What? The end.
We need to keep moving.
Go back the other way.
Wait.
I hear someone coming.
Check all the doors.
Check all the doors.
We need to hide.
Come on, this way, this way.
Shh! Shh! Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Shh! Stay quiet.
It's gonna be okay.
12 tribes of israel.
12 handles, one for each tribe.
That tree-- That's the symbol for the tribe of asher.
And the flower the tribe of reuben.
The tribe of judah, isaac.
Joseph.
They all match.
Okay, so which handle do we pull? Genesis.
35.
The birth of jacob's sons.
There was an order.
Reuben was first.
Simeon was next.
The city symbol.
Whoa, hey, hey, hey.
You're doing something right.
Judah the lion.
Issachar.
Zebulun.
Joseph.
Benjamin.
And Dan and naphtali.
Gad, asher Welcome to new jerusalem.
Okay, check each room.
Clear them one by one.
Follow my lead.
I know you're frightened.
Why shouldn't you be? I'm here to take your life.
But i'm going to give one of you a chance To no longer be afraid.
Just come forward, Show me where you're hiding, And you'll be spared.
What the hell is this? Rebecca.
Hands on your head.
Now! He's okay.
He's not armed.
Tell me-- Are we too late? For what? Conception.
Yes.
Stop! Put the guns down now! This man will answer for his sins.
Then i guess we all will.
What about you, rachel? Do you want to see hank again? Do you want to see the boy with the hair That seems quite fond of you? Do you want them to welcome you home, Or cry at your funeral? It's up to you.
There you are.
Move aside.
We have no quarrel with you.
Harm him, and you will.
Rebecca, you don't have to do this.
The whole way over here i've reminded myself What the book tells us-- "Judge not, and you shall not be judged.
" It also tells, "the wages of sin is death.
" "But if ye do not forgive, "Neither will your father in heaven Forgive your trespasses.
" Now, we all know you've done your share of trespassing.
You sure you wanna roll the dice so close to judgment day? What are you-- What are you doing here? We're looking for someone.
A girl.
Oh, uh, your friend.
I was-- I was here when they brought her in.
Is she okay? I, uh I-I don't know.
Um white vincent Lynch sent him to To what? Sent vincent to do what?! Turn around.
Face the wall.
All of you.
No I want you to look me in the eye When you execute these innocent girls So you never forget this moment.
I don't want to do this, believe me.
But an agreement was made.
This is about keeping your word? It's about keeping my sight.
You don't know me-- Or my situation.
You're right, i don't.
But i do know that right now you have a choice, And you're gonna have to live with it.
Unfortunately, i had to live with far worse.
What are you doing? I told you not to follow me.
My choice just became Much easier.
All right, they kept the girls in a dorm Somewhere in this area, But now that lynch doesn't need them anymore Wh-What do you mean, doesn't need them? They're just guinea pigs, lab rats.
The seed--It's it's in her now.
In lynch? Yes.
But there's something Uh, i was analyzing her lab work, Uh, just to make sure everything was still stable, And It's not.
The cells--They're mutating.
Whatever's inside of her, I don't think it's a child.
I swear to god, if they've done anything to ray Rebecca.
This way.
Where are you going? To get us a ride.
I figure once you get those girls, We're gonna need a way out of here, right? There's only one place here Where you can get a call out to civilization.
It's it's pretty secure, but Beck.
Be careful.
Tell rachel i'll see her soon.
Keep an eye out for vincent.
It's done.
I'm ready to be fixed now.
The girls-- Did they suffer? Oh, there's no such thing as a painless death.
I suggest you remember that Before answering my next question.
Have you lied to me? Vincent, i don't have-- It's a yes or no question! See, i recently learned You may not have the ability To repair the damage you've done to me.
Is that true? Yes, vincent.
There is no way for me to fix you.
But worry not.
Soon you will be perfect In the eyes of god.
Mm.
Seems neither of us Have been honest with the other.
I may perhaps kill you in her place.
They say in the land of the blind, The one-Eyed man is king.
But what of the man with no eyes? What becomes of him? Come here! Enough! This man's blood is pure.
A descendant of the 12 tribes.
It would be wrong for us to take his life.
Let the cold do it.
No one's here.
So where can they be? That man-- What do you think he's doing with alima? I don't know.
But we're not gonna find out by staying in here, So come on, help me.
With mr.
Vincent now unavailable, I need someone to clean up his mess.
The girl.
With each breath, she gives air To that abomination inside her womb.
There can be only one child, jacob.
Of course.
It's just that What? The men-- They're unwilling to harm her.
Unwilling? She's a holy vessel.
They'd rather die today than be damned for eternity.
Alima, darling, Come to me.
It's time we had a talk Woman to woman.
On the count of three.
Three, two, one Shh, shh, shh.
There it is again.
I think it's coming from there.
Yeah.
Excuse me, who are you? This isn't good, hank.
There's no problem here.
Wait.
Hank?! Rachel?! Arron! We're in here! I'm in here! No, arron! No, no, no, arron! No! You all right? So that happened.
Ahh.
Oh, god.
Let's go.
Rachel? Rachel? Rachel? Hank? Arron? I'm--I'm in here! Oh, my god, are you okay? Shouldn't i be the one asking you that? You're bleeding from the face.
I'm fine, i'm fine.
You came for me.
Well, don't let it go to your head.
If i had a dollar For every girl i rescued from a monastery In tajikistan, i'd be-- Okay, we need to get out of here.
Come on, everybody.
Everyone, out.
Let's go, out.
Out.
I pray this is god's work.
Yeah, we all do.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Lynch sent me.
She asked me to bring her the sat phone.
You know you're not allowed outside the lab unescorted.
Uh, actually, you are right, But i'm not alone.
Hey! Ouch! We got a signal.
You are not the person i remember.
Yeah, neither are you.
Okay, rebecca, you have to understand The things they did to me.
The only way i could survive Was to remove any part of me they could hurt.
Knowing i was gonna spend The rest of my life without you Was more pain than i could stand, so I had to stop.
Stop what? Loving you.
I thought you were dead.
I never stopped.
Come on.
We have to call the cavalry.
The woman.
Lynch.
Where is she? Do you know some churches have removed Their fonts of holy water because they fear It's a source of bacterial and viral infection? We've reached the point when even Something blessed, something holy Can be harmful to us.
The water in here-- It's colder than normal.
Perhaps your body's just warmer.
Mother, it hurts.
Can't you feel it? Wh What is happening? You are happening, alima.
There's something unholy growing inside you.
That's not true.
I gave you clothes, shelter, love.
Now what i give you is truth.
What you've just witnessed Is the beginning of the end for all of us.
Unless You have the courage, The grace To save us.
How? By taking your life.
I thought suicide was a sin.
There's suicide, And there's sacrifice.
God condemns one, but He rewards the other.
Ms.
Lynch.
We have uninvited guests inside the walls.
Shepherds? Perhaps.
How would you like me to handle it? The old man said she's in the chapel, Just across this courtyard.
We're gonna have to turn around! Wait, wh-What happened? Never mind.
Is there another way to get to the front gate? Wait.
There's someone else in there.
Her name is alima.
I know this sounds crazy, But they took her from the room and when she came back, There was something different about her.
I don't know what it was, but there was Something different, and if what we've been talking about This whole time is true, Then i think she's carrying it.
The child.
Are are you sure? As sure as you can be about something impossible.
All right.
I want you guys to head for the gate.
W-Wait, what are you doing? I'm gonna go back in for her.
Hank, wh-- It's gonna be all right.
Just get to the front gate.
All right, come on, come on.
Shh, shh.
Beck should be there.
Okay.
Hank, hank, wait, wait.
Are you going in there for this girl, Or is it something more? You don't have to be a believer To believe.
Thank you.
You sure this is the right way? Why don't you just tell me which way to go? I'm afraid he can't tell you anything.
He has been robbed of that particular privilege.
And you had him bring me here? No, the boy found you entirely on his own.
It seems that he developed a certain fondness of me.
You have two seconds to tell me what you want.
I want to help you.
From where i'm standing, you don't look like much help.
Let me guess.
You want to rescue that girl alima? Oh.
A noble man is always so easy to predict.
You've always been noble-- This life and the last.
What those men did in 1938 Has nothing to do with what we do today.
Oh, we could spend hours debating fate and destiny.
But i don't think we have hours to spare.
There's only one door into that chapel.
Well guarded.
To get through it, men have to be killed.
Are you up for the task? You could leave me here And try to kill those men on your own.
Or release me, And allow me to do what i was put on this earth to do, And we all might have a chance To come out of here alive.
We're dealing with a monster, hank.
Only a monster can best a monster.
I wonder if this was god's plan for us, A resurrection of sorts, Because we didn't finish what we were supposed to do The first time-- To protect the blood of his son in 1938.
So maybe he brought us back To finish the job more properly.
You're starting to sound like a believer, vincent.
For once in life, call me brother.
They say these were born of the saplings From the tree of life.
It's beautiful.
The purest things always are.
Unfortunately, you, alima, are not so pure.
Which is why the beast has come to our doorstep.
But i i didn't do anything.
Of course, dear.
None of this is your fault-- The ground trembling beneath our feet, Your very hands turning blessed water to ice.
We should have known What would occur if we gave this gift To someone who was not chosen.
But just as the son of god died for our sins, So must you.
We'll never get across there.
It's suicide.
I believe the israelites said the same to moses, yes? Thing is, moses could see.
Well, it wasn't his sight that helped him cross.
Now, come.
You have to go now.
You wait for me outside the gates.
I won't fail you.
Go.
Go! It's time for you to show yourselves.
Come on.
Easy.
Got you.
I'm trying to decide if that was incredibly brave Or incredibly foolish.
Most of the time, they are the same.
Take the higher path, And you will live forever in the kingdom of his grace.
Turn your back on him, And you'll burn with the rest.
W-Wait! Stop! Put the knife down.
Stay still, my lamb.
A nonbeliever's come to prey on your doubts and fears.
Don't listen to her.
You know what has to be done.
Shed light on the darkness that grows inside you! Whatever darkness she's talking about-- It grows in her.
Liar.
I've seen the lab reports, melanie.
Your cells are mutating.
Whatever life you think you're carrying, It's devouring you from the inside.
Lies! I thought you were a woman of science, melanie.
But now you don't believe what it tells you? I am a woman of faith! Who uses science to play god.
And right now, both of them are telling you Alima is healthy and you are sick.
I will not have my beliefs questioned By someone who has none! If you want proof that something miraculous is occurring, You don't get it from a lab report Or from a microscope.
You get it from above! I watched her turn water to ice.
She carries the beast! She carries the cold that cannot be colder! Look around you! Can't you see?! Oh, god! No! Oh, god! No! We need to move.
Let's go.
Go.
Allow a blind old lion a final moment of grace.
See you in the next life, brother.
I hope so, brother.
Let's meet our maker.
I've made my peace.
Have you? Hank! Hey! Hank! What the hell is going on? Is this the end? Move! Move! Come on, come on! Hank! Give me your hand! There you go! Be right back, okay? So what's gonna happen with her? She'll disappear.
I'll make sure she does.
So we'll we'll never know? It needs to unfurl on its own, Anonymously, Where the world can't interfere.
And if she's carrying what we think, You will know.
We all will.
Come on.
Let's go.
Letting the scoop of your life walk away, hank.
Nobody'd believe it anyway.
Come on.
I don't believe it.
Yes, ed.
I'll come up and see you guys tomorrow.
Me, too.
This is 1948 dallanach.
It was acquired in loch ness.
I was up there looking for a very rare creature.
All i found was a very rare bottle of scotch.
I told myself that i would drink it If i ever found proof that Pour a fourth, if you don't mind.
Of course.
I wanted to thank you.
I got something back that i wouldn't have If it hadn't been for you.
So, you and theo Well, let's just say we're hopeful.
Well, i couldn't think of a better thing to be.
Here's to being hopeful.
Something tells me i'll see you again.
I hope so.
Bye.
Bye.
Hey.
I remember our premiere issue.
Ah, my first letter from the editor.
Started with a quote "There are more things in heaven and earth Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
" "Hamlet.
" You know, it actually used to bug me-- People always quoted that to defend the possibility That there might be U.
F.
O.
S And bigfoots and It's so much easier to disprove Than it is to believe, right? And then one day you see something And you're not so sure.
Well, you could always change the name Of the magazine to "modern believer.
" Not yet.
But in the spirit of journalism, I think we should revisit everything.
Everything that we've disproved.
Yeah, from area 51, bermuda triangle I mean, you name it.
'Cause maybe We missed something.
You want to revisit everything? Everything.
They've come again-- The blind, the sick-- To be healed.
It's okay.
No need to turn anyone away.
I'll see each of them.
We've found her, haven't we? The one that can fix us both? It's a miracle.
