Great
'cause I got this one, too.
- You didn't tell us about that.
- No.
I just got my hands on this one.
It was found on a roof
on a farm in Wisconsin.
That's the black market.
Sometimes you just get lucky.
Yeah, we'll take that one, too.
Yeah.
You bring me more of this

How far out is the situation team?
MAN: Is this the only piece?
FINOLA: So far. We're combing
the hotel for any more.
Seems to have the same
properties as the pieces found
in Debris Field 707 in Manchester.
MAN: It's a different color,
though. Darker.
[trilling]
[static crackles]
Hey.
- Thanks.
- I just pulled the CCTV footage. Here.
You ever seen them before?
No.
All right, well, I'll cross-check
with MI-6 and Interpol.
Do you need anything
before I wipe the servers?
- No, ma'am. All good. Thank you.
- All right.
[phone rings]
- WOMAN: This is Ferris.
- It's me.
Have the Americans
seen these men before?
- No.
- At least that's what they say.
They're supposed to be transparent,
but I know for a fact they're not.
This partnership is important
to our two countries,
- but don't underestimate Bryan.
- I'm not.
Despite the coalition,
I expect the Americans
have been instructed to put their
interests first, just like we have.
Remember, Maddox pulled him out
of an MP prison in Afghanistan.
He must be valuable,
but he's had his own troubles.
Be aware of that.
[phone rings]
- He's dead?
- BRYAN: Correct.
He left a nacho at the scene,
but we retrieved it.
The buyers got away.
No idea who they are. Finola's uploading
a video to us and MI-6 right now.
Okay. I'll check it out.
They couldn't have been working
for the Russians or the Chinese.
We have eyes on their agents.
Let me try to track them down through
some of the other intelligence agencies.
So, how is it working out with Finola?
Well, obviously
she's falling in love with me
and trying to keep it professional.
Okay, copy that, gorgeous.
- It's gonna work out?
- She's settling in.
I'm not sure yet
she's got the stomach for it.
I know her father was George Jones,
but we're a long way
from the physics lab.
We'll see.
- Ready to go?
- Yeah.
- BOY: Mom?
- WOMAN: Yeah?
I saw on the Internet there
were these men at the circus
who walk on tightropes,
and they don't have any nets.
- That's really dangerous.
- [cymbals jingling]
And you know those guys practice
for that their whole lives?

Upon touching Debris 231b,
a subset of type 34,
the subject appeared to phase through
approximately 14 stories
of inorganic matter.
She impacted in the hotel ballroom,
resulting in her death.
The subject
[sighs]
She was Carlotta Orlov,
33, single mother of two.
The family has been notified.
The coroner has reclassified
her death as
accidental to correspond
with her injuries.
[phone chimes]
FINOLA: Hey, we've got a new Debris event.
Can you pull it up?
[keyboard clacking]
[jet engine whining]
Why are we turning?
A new incident report just came through.
We're diverting to Kansas.
Outstanding.
Why are you still working?
How do you think
our reports get done, Bryan?
BRYAN: Somebody else does them?
Oh! Oh.
Well, keep up the good work.
Did you take those from the hotel?
Why do you do this?
I wanna be sure the good guys
get this technology
before anyone else.
I came back from Afghanistan.
What do you want me to do?
I'm not gonna become an accountant.
I'm not gonna sell Jeeps.
I don't think I'm gonna cure cancer,
so this is really
my way of contributing.
Isn't that why you're here?
I believe this technology,
if understood properly,
can end famine, cure sickness.
I think what we're doing here
will absolutely change
the course of humanity.
And in the wrong hands,
it could be the end of humanity.
Well, don't you think there's a
reason that this is all happening?
I mean, there are billions of stars,
billions of planets.
The odds that this Debris
found us are impossible.
That's the job, you know.
Impossible.
I don't know if you know this,
but my dad was the first astrophysicist
to be told the truth
about what they found.
And when he saw all the Hubble Telescope
shots of the wrecked spacecraft,
which was spectacular,
the Debris cloud was huge.
And when those pieces
finally started to arrive
He's the one who said it best.
He said that
it finally made him believe again.
I find that comforting, not scary.
Maybe it's in my blood.
Well, at least he got a chance
to see that it got here
before he died.
Well
I don't know if Debris found us,
or if it was helped here somehow.
But these beings have given us a gift.
And I for one know
that the world needs it.
Is he why you're here?
Big shoes to fill.
I didn't get this job
because of my last name.
I believe that.
[computer beeps]
I'm gonna send the reports,
and go get changed.
- BRYAN: Tom?
- Yeah.
FINOLA: Finola Jones, Bryan Beneventi.
TOM: Farmer found her, local PD
called the FBI, they called us.
We think she's a missing person
that was called in late last night,
Amy Morrison.
We haven't found any Debris, though.
- BRYAN: What'd you tell them?
- TOM: Nothing I didn't have to.
FINOLA: Oh
[instrument clicking]
FINOLA: Wow.
- That's new.
- FINOLA: Incredible.
BRYAN: It's like she's taking on
some of the Debris attributes.
She's defying gravity.
Maybe manipulating
the Earth's electric field.
Yeah. Some sort of magnetic levitation.
She's clocking in
on the Laghari at a 4.5.
We don't know when she died.
It could've been higher.
When was the last day
of atmospheric entry?
We had activity here two weeks ago.
BRYAN: Well, the wind took her
here, so there's no telling
where she came in contact with it.
Let's run a SAT scan
and see if it comes up
with any signatures.
- You got it.
- BRYAN: I'm gonna call the team
and set up a lab.
- It's not blowing in that direction.
- What?
The wind, it's not blowing
in the direction she's moving.

Why are you smirking at me, Bryan?
Because I missed you, Sharon.
Are the bodies all in there?
[phone chimes]
Police reports.
Uh, two of them reported missing
in the past week.
So what connects them?
Uh nothing.
No mutual friends,
they don't work together.
The only thing is
they all live in Wichita.
♪♪
How can they be alive
with no pulse, no heartbeat.
Their cells are functioning.
There's brain activity,
highly synchronized,
even after the cessation
of cerebral blood flow.
They're still processing,
but they've basically
been drained of their
muscular action potential.
- They have no impulses.
- Are they aware?
SHARON: If they are,
either they can't communicate,
or they don't want to.
All I can tell you for sure is
they're degrading quickly.
We could lose them
before you find the Debris
that caused this.
[phone buzzes]
They found Amy Morrison's car.
FINOLA: Found the bodies
three miles that way.
Nothing.
Excuse me.
What's beyond these fields here?
More fields.
What's past those fields, funny guy?
Well, there's a strip mall.
That's the closest thing.
Bryan.
I asked for a list of all
the victim's emergency contacts.
A male, James Vandeberg,
is the only one whose family
hasn't responded.
Hey, we picked up Amy Morrison on CCTV
from a convenience store six miles back.
BRYAN: Is that her son?
FINOLA: No. She doesn't
have any children.
- BRYAN: Well, who is that then?
- Let me see.
BRYAN: Tom, get an APB out,
do whatever you gotta do
- to find that kid.
- All right.
BRYAN: Let's check in
on the Vandeberg family.
Mrs. Vandeberg?
Bryan
[phone rings]
Dr. Sharon Bhandari, please.
Yes, it's Agent Finola Jones.
Tell her it's urgent. Yeah, I'll hold.
Sharon? It's me.
We're gonna need a medical team.
We found Mr. Vandeberg's wife.

[instrument trills]
FINOLA: Bryan?
BRYAN: There was this piece in Missouri,
evaporated a lake in the Ozarks.
It's roughly the same size.
It's got a lot of the same attributes.
But this one's way low on the Laghari.
Federal agents.
Is anyone home?
Bryan.
That's the boy in the car
with Amy Morrison.
This is his house.
Why was he in her car?
There's a sister.
No.
The boy's name is Kieran Vandeberg.
His sister is Isla Vandeberg,
she's around 15 years old.
Found her.
Get these names off to local PD.
Moore Hill Boarding School.
This is a tuition statement.
- This is seven miles away.
- Huh.
Why is she going to a boarding
school that's so close to home?
Wait, wait, wait. I don't understand.
What happened to them?
FINOLA: Uh, well, we're not sure yet,
but we have some of our best
people looking after them.
Isla, we're desperately
trying to locate
your little brother Kieran.
Can you give us some information on him?
Is this some kind of joke?
My brother died seven months ago
in a car accident.
What?
Hi. Are you okay?
Where's your mom?
Is she inside?
Come with me, I'll take you in.
It's okay.
[cymbals jingling]
- KIERAN: Mom?
- Yeah, honey?
I saw on the Internet, there
were these men at the circus
who walk on tightropes,
and they don't have any nets.
WOMAN: Wow. That's scary stuff.
♪♪
Hey, team's here.
So are we now saying that the Debris
pulled his body from the ground
and added meat to his bones?
No, not that.
How do you know?
He was cremated.
It's out there, Jack. Can't miss it.
♪♪
Mum.
[no audible dialogue]
♪♪
ISLA: A few days ago, my mom
and dad wanted me to come home.
They said they had something to show me,
something that I wouldn't believe.
She was happy, ecstatic.
She hadn't been that way in a long time,
not since Kieran died.
And then the next day,
I-I got a text saying I shouldn't come,
insisting that I don't.
What happened to them?
You said you would tell me
what happened.
Why were you going to a boarding school
that was so close to your home?
After my brother, um
My mom couldn't get over it.
We fought, like, a lot.
Like, all the time.
We went to therapy, all of us.
So I decided it would be best
if I left the house for a little while.
I told my mom
that if she hadn't taken
my brother to the gas station
to get candy that day,
they wouldn't have been
driving down that road
when the drunk driver hit them.
My brother wouldn't have died.
Excuse me.
FINOLA: I know what grief
can do to a person.
How it makes you feel really
alone, right? Yeah.
My mum died of cancer two years ago.
And my dad, well
he couldn't get over her death
no matter how hard he tried, and
Yeah, I lost him too a short time later.
I was completely lost,
just closed off from everyone.
I know that you're strong.
And I know that whatever you
might have said to your mum,
she still loves you. You're okay.
They're bringing her to a friend's house
until her aunt can
get here from Wyoming.
That was bad back there.
Sorry.
I I didn't know what to say.
That's okay.
I'm sure there are things
you're worse at.
I knew someone like her once.
Ah.
Well, everyone's got a past, Bryan.
I always find when I give
a part of myself,
I don't know, I always get
so much more back.
Connection. It's all we really have
to keep us on the ground here.
You know, when you were
outside greeting the team,
I went out to the Debris,
because I wanted to
run some DF tests.
It manifested a vision of my mother
In my mind. From my memory.
It only clocked in at an 85.
It's as if the Debris pulled
that memory from me
because it felt my longing for her.
I think this is all about
Mary Vandeberg.
I think it's her grief that
caused her dead son to manifest.
FINOLA: She probably thought
it was a miracle
when she saw her son alive.
So she calls her daughter to come
BRYAN: Right. And then 24 hours later,
she says don't come.
- Something happened.
- Yeah.
We heard what Sharon said.
They were all being drained of energy.
Maybe he had to drain the dad
to continue to exist.
Yeah. Like it's using people
as batteries.
Right, and then the dad's
been out there in the field
The kid needs another battery,
someone else.
The closest person he had
to him was his mom,
so he drains her, and now
it's just running on autopilot,
finding other people to drain.

[whispering continues,
multiple voices overlapping]
Jenna Goldland.
FINOLA: It's a theory. Anyway
[phone ringing]
Hi, Sharon.
Who's Jenna Goldland?
That's my mother's name.
How could they know my mother's name?
They're obviously somehow
still connected to the Debris.
They must still be aware.
There's a way to still reach them.
Another woman was reported missing
from outside a restaurant.
She left with a child that
matches the boy's description.

MAN [on radio]: We picked up
an atmospheric disruption
under the bridge. Route 4.
MAN 2: Pulling in now.
Keep your bird in the air.
We got tire tracks.
BRYAN: We got one of them.
He teleported into the bridge support.
He's one of the same guys
from the hotel yesterday
who bought the nacho. Who are they?
Whoever they are,
they have something we don't.
This is an organized group.
There's no way two
individuals would be funded
the way they need to be
in order to find this.
All right.
I'm having the body transported here.
I'll be in touch.
Bryan?
I was thinking about
the different connections
between the victims.
They were all found in the same field
near that canal.
So I pulled the actual accident report.
That's where the crash took place.
That's where he died.
When the car was hit head-on,
it came to a stop in that water.
I mean, is he taking them there?
His sister said they stopped
at a gas station
before they crashed.
The woman we found in
the field, Amy Morrison,
Tom showed us footage of her
- with the boy, remember?
- Mm-hmm.
We passed that gas station
when we drove in.
It's on the same road.
I think you're right.
I think he's taking her on the
same route the night he died.
[bell jingles]
My son loves these candies.
They're like sour but sweet
at the same time.
Yeah, right there.
Oh, thanks so much.
[bell jingles]
Good evening, ma'am.
Agent Beneventi. Can I talk
to you just for a few seconds?
The boy in the car,
do you know who that is?
That's my son.
He's, uh, he's not your son.
What are you talking about?
What's your name?
Kieran.
[cymbals jingling]
You're not Kieran.
You don't belong here.
I'm wanted here.
[panting]
- Ma'am. Ma'am.
- Let go of me.
- I'm not going to hurt you.

- The unit should be with you already.
- I'm on you way to your 20.
- Negative. No.
You said you know where they're going.
After what I just saw,
even if we get to her,
there isn't anything we can do.
I can't help her there.
What do you want me to do?
I need you to get Isla.
They're not in any pain.
My partner thinks that your mother's
grief is what's causing this.
This isn't her fault, but I need you
to reach her so we can stop it.
Can she hear me?
She has to.
My partner's life depends on it.
Mom?
Mom, I need you to wake up.
Mom, wake up, please. Please wake up.
Please wake up, Mom.
I didn't get to say good-bye
to Kieran. I can't
I can't say good-bye
to you and Dad, too.

ISLA: Please wake up.
It's not working. I can't do this.
I know you're scared.
I'm scared, too.
But you have to try to tell her
how much you need her.
I know
from experience
that you will not be able
to forgive yourself
if you don't.
[sniffling]
Mom
I realize that we need
to hold on to what we have.
I'm so sorry for everything.
And I know I know how much it hurts,
but he's not coming back.
We're the only ones.
You, me, and Dad, we're the only ones
who can remember what we had.
I didn't think I could be there for you.
It's just me now.

What was it like?
Terrifying.
But beautiful.
I could feel what her experience was.
When she found it, the the Debris,
when she was around it
it understood her.
Every day, she would go to it,
and it would make her dream of him.
And then one morning, she went to it,
and he was standing there.
So real.
She just
missed him so much,
You went through a lot.
I'll debrief Mary Vandeberg.
You don't have to do it.
No, that's, um
that's exactly why I need to do it.
I just went through it too.
And I understand.
What?
I'm not used to opening up to people.
This job is about being alone.
It's supposed to be.
It's been a long time
since I worked with somebody
who's looked at me like
I'm a human being.

Hey.
I'm on the plane.
We ID'd the guy we pulled
from the pillar.
He's an English national, former SAS.

London at JFK last week,

I don't think I'm gonna cure cancer,
so this is really
my way of contributing.
Isn't that why you're here?
I believe this technology,
if understood properly,
can end famine, cure sickness.
I think what we're doing here
will absolutely change
the course of humanity.
And in the wrong hands,
it could be the end of humanity.
Well, don't you think there's a
reason that this is all happening?
I mean, there are billions of stars,
billions of planets.
The odds that this Debris
found us are impossible.
That's the job, you know.
Impossible.
I don't know if you know this,
but my dad was the first astrophysicist
to be told the truth
about what they found.
And when he saw all the Hubble Telescope
shots of the wrecked spacecraft,
which was spectacular,
the Debris cloud was huge.
And when those pieces
finally started to arrive
He's the one who said it best.
He said that
it finally made him believe again.
I find that comforting, not scary.
Maybe it's in my blood.
Well, at least he got a chance
to see that it got here
before he died.
Well
I don't know if Debris found us,
or if it was helped here somehow.
But these beings have given us a gift.
And I for one know
that the world needs it.
Is he why you're here?
Big shoes to fill.
I didn't get this job
because of my last name.
I believe that.

FINOLA: Oh

BRYAN: It's like she's taking on

She's defying gravity.
Maybe manipulating
the Earth's electric field.
Yeah. Some sort of magnetic levitation.
She's clocking in
on the Laghari at a 4.5.
We don't know when she died.
It could've been higher.
When was the last day
of atmospheric entry?
We had activity here two weeks ago.
BRYAN: Well, the wind took her
here, so there's no telling
where she came in contact with it.
Let's run a SAT scan
and see if it comes up
with any signatures.
- You got it.

The wind, it's not blowing

She hadn't been that way in a long time,
not since Kieran died.
And then the next day,
I-I got a text saying I shouldn't come,

What happened to them?
You said you would tell me
what happened.
Why were you going to a boarding school
that was so close to your home?
After my brother, um
My mom couldn't get over it.
We fought, like, a lot.
Like, all the time.
We went to therapy, all of us.
So I decided it would be best
if I left the house for a little while.
I told my mom
that if she hadn't taken
my brother to the gas station
to get candy that day,
they wouldn't have been
driving down that road
when the drunk driver hit them.
My brother wouldn't have died.
Excuse me.

can do to a person.
How it makes you feel really

My mum died of cancer two years ago.
And my dad, well

Yeah, I lost him too a short time later.
I was completely lost,
just closed off from everyone.
I know that you're strong.
And I know that whatever you
might have said to your mum,
she still loves you. You're okay.
They're bringing her to a friend's house
until her aunt can
get here from Wyoming.
That was bad back there.
Sorry.
I I didn't know what to say.
That's okay.
I'm sure there are things
you're worse at.
I knew someone like her once.
Ah.
Well, everyone's got a past, Bryan.
I always find when I give
a part of myself,
I don't know, I always get
so much more back.
Connection. It's all we really have
to keep us on the ground here.
You know, when you were
outside greeting the team,
I went out to the Debris,
because I wanted to
run some DF tests.
It manifested a vision of my mother
In my mind. From my memory.
It only clocked in at an 85.
It's as if the Debris pulled
that memory from me
because it felt my longing for her.
I think this is all about
Mary Vandeberg.
I think it's her grief that
caused her dead son to manifest.
FINOLA: She probably thought
it was a miracle
when she saw her son alive.
So she calls her daughter to come
BRYAN: Right. And then 24 hours later,
she says don't come.
- Something happened.
- Yeah.
We heard what Sharon said.
They were all being drained of energy.
Maybe he had to drain the dad
to continue to exist.
Yeah. Like it's using people
as batteries.
Right, and then the dad's
been out there in the field
The kid needs another battery,
someone else.
The closest person he had
to him was his mom,
so he drains her, and now
it's just running on autopilot,
finding other people to drain.
