" What brings you out here?" " I'm looking for my daughter." "Previously on Touch..." "What's your daughter's name?" "Amelia." "It's called BreakWire." "It's a web-based, user-generated news organization." "I had a gift to see how things all fit together." "I share the same gift." "It's how I found you." "This right here that I'm working on is a God sequence." "I'm talking the evolution of the entire human species." "And I'm not just going to give it up to them for some mindless profit." "I can't do that." "Not this time." "Money is what you need." "And money is what I have." "A lot of it." "She's here." "My baby's here." "Heard you went to the beach this morning." "I don't like it here." "I miss my parents." "I want to go home." "Made you a bagel, Jake." "You like bagels?" ""Of course, I like bagels, Lucy, who doesn't like bagels?"" "Morning." "Uh, good morning." "Hey, buddy." "Oh, he won't eat that like that." "H-He's really particular about his bagel-- half of it needs to be toasted, cut into four pieces, two pieces buttered and two pieces plain." "It's..." "Wow." "He's never done that before." "Well, maybe he's... ready for something new." "Aren't we all?" "Want some coffee?" "Y-Yeah." "I'll get it." "Mm." "Hey, I'm sorry for, uh, waking you up last night." "You didn't wake me up." "No, yeah, I did." "I-I saw your light go on." "It's just, I have this thing, whenever I'm in a new place, I wake up disoriented, and, uh, I know the best thing for me when I panic is to go outside and... look at the stars and figure out where I am." "Sounds nice." "For a panic attack." "Truth is, you didn't wake me up." "I was already up." "I-I heard you... walk outside." "I... don't sleep very well either." "Well, you can join me anytime you like." "You just have to bring some anti-panic party favors like scotch, some new yoga moves," " something..." " I appreciate it." "Okay." "I'm off." "What are those?" "Oh." "This is my morning." "I'm gonna start at the beach and paper my way" " through the city." " Lucy, y-you can't put those up." "Aster Corps's looking for Jake." "I mean, hell, the police are looking for me and Jake." "You can't put flyers up telling people how to find us." "My daughter is missing, Martin." "I'm gonna do whatever I can to find her," " and if that's a problem for you then you should just..." " It's not." "It's not a problem." "Lucy, I'm on your side here, I..." "It is my responsibility to make sure Jake is safe." "That's all." "I..." "Sometimes I overreact, I guess." "I'm-I'm sorry." "Got it." "Sorry." "Honey on your bagel, that's quite a step forward." "What is it?" "I set up a news alert on my laptop." "Let me know when anything's happening with Aster Corps." "The very brain inside of each of us will become obsolete." "Redundant." "Aster Corps wants to make money off that." "Driven by profits and corporate greed, it's a dystopian nightmare in the making." "They plan on using my algorithms to further their need..." "This guy is railing against Aster Corps in front of their stockholders." "He's talking about algorithms." "Imagine it." "A single numerical sequence" ""Single numerical sequence..."" "What?" "Removed?" "!" "Who would do that?" " Aster Corps." " Right." "I'm gonna go down to BreakWire." "Maybe they got the whole thing." "See if Trevor can help me find out who this guy is." "Jake, come on, buddy." "We gotta go." "Your room is this way." "Come on, sweetheart." "I've gotta get your bag." "Five, zero, zero." "Five..." "Jake." "Jake, please." "Jake!" "I think maybe he wants to go with me." " I-I'm sorry, is that..." " No." "That's fine." "Uh..." "Would you really be cool if... if he went with you?" "No, I'm good." "We have a lot to talk about." "Okay." "Um... why don't you guys meet me at BreakWire as soon as you're finished." "Will do." "Thank you." "For thousands of years, sailors have looked to the stars to understand where they are." "As oceans move beneath them, they take comfort in the fixed mark of the North Star, while here, below, nothing ever stops moving." "Come on!" "Get in the van!" "Let's go!" "Let's go, let's go!" "Mass attracts mass." "Bodies moving toward each other in space will speed up as they get closer." "Amelia." "Amelia!" "I... want... out..." "of... here!" "I want to go home!" "This is your home." "Amelia..." "The gravitational pull between two bodies becomes stronger..." "We have a problem." "...making convergence inevitable." "This isn't working." "Results are no better in the house than they were in the lab." "She knows the difference." "Look, we need to go back to the original plan." "What we're heading toward or what the outcome of the convergence will be" "is unknowable." "Man continues to look to the stars for certainty." "But the only real certainty is that every day we're alive our destiny is getting closer and closer." "2x02 Closer" "Trevor." "Oh, hey, Martin." "Oh, it's juice." "I juice now." "Good for you." "Can we talk?" "Of course." "Let's go over here." "This is unbelievable." "Calvin Norburg tanks their stock price with one speech." "I need to talk to this guy." "Yeah, you and every other journalist in the world." "He doesn't talk to the press under any circumstance." "He'll want to talk to me." "We share the same enemy." "Yeah, Martin." "At what point are you gonna tell me why Aster Corps is after you and vice versa?" "They're not after me." "They're after my son." "Lucy's daughter Amelia and my son Jake-- they're the same." "They have a gift-- they can see things in numbers and patterns." "To be honest with you," "I-I don't really understand it." "But obviously Aster Corps does and they see a value in it." "They kidnapped Amelia and faked her death." "When Ruben found that death certificate in their files with Jake's name on it, that's when I realized that's what they were gonna do to Jake, but they couldn't because I took him and ran." "We've been investigating Aster Corps abroad for some time now-- their business practices, murder and everything else down the line but... didn't think they'd try it here." "Right now the only way that I can prove that Aster Corps is doing this is to find Amelia alive." "I figured since..." "Calvin Norburg had turned against them that maybe he could help me." "I'm telling you, you're not gonna get to him." "But... you may... get to someone close to him." "There." "Five, zero, zero." " What?" " Jake's number." "Earlier this morning, Jake showed me a number, five, zero, zero." "Who is this guy?" "Uh, uh, Vikash Nayar." "He's been all over the wire this morning." "One of the top five venture capitalists in the world." "Huge risk taker;" "known for backing unconventional entrepreneurs." "What's his connection to Norburg?" "Business partner." "As of... this moment." "If everyone thought Calvin Norburg had lost his mind, Vikash Nayar saw an opportunity and seized it." "He's the one guy Calvin Norburg's talking to." "How do I find him?" "I'll make some calls, find out where he's staying." "Thank you." "The things we'll accomplish together, my friend-- breakthroughs in the Third World, vertical farming, water delivery systems..." "Thanks to you and your generous investment." "Which Aster Corps are trying very hard to talk me out of." "Oh, they've contacted you?" "Numerous ways and numerous times." "They've made it clear that investing in you is gonna be bad for my financial health." "And you said?" "Nothing." "I refused to meet with them." "I sent word through my lawyers that..." "I've made my decision and you will have the money soon." "I believe in you, Calvin." "In your vision." "I'd like to meet with my bankers before I fly to Spain." "When do you leave?" "This evening." "I'm due at the unveiling of my latest construction project-- a cathedral in Barcelona." "So, uh, this afternoon?" "Lunch, maybe?" "I'd like that." "Excuse me one moment." "Who is this?" "I understand." "Everything okay?" "I have..." "I must go." "What about lunch?" "It'll have to wait." "I'll be in touch." "Is everything all right, sir?" " I have to go take care of something." " I'll have the driver bring the car around." " No, I'm going to go on my own." " I can't let you do that, sir." "You work for me, and you are dismissed for the day." "Yes, sir." "Follow him." "Right now, I got a lot of limos coming and going, but no sign of Vikash Nayar." "You got a room number on him yet?" "There's a Presidential Suite on the seventh floor, but so far, no confirmation that he's in it." "Okay." "Hold on." "I got him." " Excuse me, but this is my cab." " No, it isn't." " Yes, it is, and I don't have time for this." " Sir, I need this taxi." " I can send for another car." "Take couple of minutes." " No!" " No!" " I have to be downtown in 15 minutes." " Fine." "I need to be downtown, too." "Why don't we just share the cab, so neither of us will be late?" "Fine, but let's just go." "The corner of Fifth and San Pedro." "That'll work for me." "Rosemary Mathis?" "Then we shall speak in English." "Bless you." "Have we met?" "No, no." "I'm simply a fan." "The concert hall you have designed for the Berlin Opera brought me to my knees, and I believe with this cathedral, you have reached perfection." "That's a lovely thing to say." "Thank you very much." "I hope I'm not embarrassing you." "No... no, I, um..." "I must learn to take a compliment, I'm told." "Then let me be the one to help you." "I love your use of chiaroscuro." "I mean, the contrast between illumination and blackness-- it's... tragic." " Tragic?" " Yes." "Reminds us how far away we are from God." "His light." "Yes, it is tragic." "And yet loving." "These shafts of light cascading onto the parishioners-- it's like you're invoking the Nativity." "The star of Bethlehem bathing the common man." "Yes." "You show such compassion." "And yet..." "I wonder." "What?" "You can say it." "It's all... it's all right." "Are you trying to deliver us into the light, or are you using the shadows to hide?" "I mean, is there something you do not want the world to know?" "Rosemary, I need you." "The London Times is doing a piece." "Yes." "Please excuse me." "Will you stay?" "Yes, of course." "Surprise!" "Hold it up." "If you'd have given us a little more notice, we could've done better than a grocery store cake and a banner from our dot matrix printer." "I didn't expect anything like this." "Thank you." "Really." "Uh, we need plates." "Ava, plates." "You never said anything about retiring before." "Sometimes these things just come over you in a flash." "It's time to make a change." " Like what?" " Oh..." " I don't know." "Travel." " Where?" " Paris." " Paris!" " Oh!" " Paris!" "Oh!" "I've always wanted to go to Paris." "I have, too." "Well, we are really gonna miss you around here." "When you get back from your trip, please come by and show us your pictures." "We'll set up a slide show in the AV room." "Thank you, Louise." "Thank you, everybody." "This is so sweet." "All right." "Good spot." "Okay, where else?" "How about that fence over there?" "People see it as soon as they get off the Scrambler." "What?" "Wait." "We have no more?" "We went through the entire stack?" "We're just gonna have to make some more." "But first, how about some ice cream, yeah?" "You like ice cream?" "Come on." ""I like ice cream, Lucy." "Who doesn't like ice cream?"" "What's your favorite flavor?" "I like, the like, strawberry cheesecake kind..." "Hey!" "Hey, kid!" "Kid, kid, kid, you've got to come with me on the Scrambler." " It's really super fun, but you can't go alone." " Soleil?" " And my mom gets so dizzy." "It's right there." " Soleil, you cannot run away from me like that!" " Hi." " Hi." "Beth Friedman." "I see you have already met my daughter." "My name's Soleil, like the sun, but in French." "Wow!" "Bonjour, Soleil." "I'm Lucy, this is Jake." " Hi, Jake!" " He's not much of a talker, but he's very cool." "Oh, don't worry." "She will talk enough for the both of them." "Come on, Jake, let's go on the Scrambler." " Please?" "Please?" "It's right there!" " You can go if you want." "Yay!" "Yay!" "This is gonna be the best." "Look, I'm sorry about the mix-up earlier." "I just couldn't afford to be late for this meeting." "It's fine." "I recognize you." " Have we met before?" "M-Martin Bishop." " I sincerely doubt it." "That's what it is." "I recognize you." "You were at the Aster Corps shareholder meeting." "What did you make of Calvin Norburg's meltdown?" "What do you think set him off?" "You're a reporter." "I should have known." "That ploy with the cab." "I'm not a reporter." "Yeah, right." "Okay, fine." "I am a reporter." "And I'm working on a story accusing Aster Corps of criminal activity, starting with and not limited to attempted murder, kidnapping, false imprisonment, and the faking of a death of at least one child." "How much further?" " Almost there." " Look, unless you want to be linked to this story, you're gonna have to talk to me, and I need you to put me" " in contact with Calvin Norburg." " Let me out up there." "Please, these people are dangerous-- do you understand?" "I need you to put me in touch with Calvin Norburg!" "Damn it!" "Yeah, I followed him downtown." "He's headed into some alley." "I'm not sure what's going on but I'm staying on him." "Just-just stay right where you are." "Don't move." "Mr. Nayar, do you have my money?" "Where's my father?" "Show him his father." "Mr. Nayar?" "Don't go any further, please." "Get down!" "Don't slow down." "They shot my bodyguard!" "Go!" "Go!" "Drive!" "Drive!" " Are you all right?" "Have you been hit?" " No." " Give me your cell phone." " What?" "Your cell phone!" "They can track it!" " We got to go back!" "They're gonna kill him." " Who?" " My father." " Why?" "It's kidnapping." "They said they had him," " and they wanted $100,000 in cash." " Listen to me." "They don't want your father or your $100,000." "They're trying to kill you, and they used your father as bait." "Take this to the 10, get off on Robertson." " Where are we going?" " Somewhere safe till we can figure this out." "Damn it!" "It's going so fast, I can't believe it." "Hey!" "You know, well, we had this really wonderful relationship." "We met 15 years ago." "It was love at first sight." "So, you know, we really tried to work it out." "Don't step on the crack, or you'll break your mom's back." "We were in therapy, going back and forth, and it probably wasn't, you know, worth it." " Seriously, don't step on it." " So, anyway, he stayed in San Francisco." "We came back here to live with my father in Mar Vista." "House I grew up in." "Trippy." "I mean, where do the years go, right?" "Uh, look at them." "My goodness." "She had really taken to your son." "You are so lucky you have a boy." "They are so much easier than girls, so I hear." "Are they?" "Well, I guess you wouldn't know unless you have a daughter to compare." "Do you?" "Hey, Mommy?" "Can we ride on the roller coaster?" "Please?" "Sure." "It's okay with me if it's okay with Jake's mom." "Sure." "Whatever he wants." "Have fun." "Hey!" "Uh, hold on!" "Coming!" "I'd lost sight of you." "I thought you had gone." "No." "It is possible for us to continue our conversation." "I know a quiet bar down the street." "I don't know you." "You understand." "Yes." "But we could have a drink here." "Frances." "You're really leaving?" "I have to." "Is it someone else?" " It's not someone else." " Oh, I can see it." "You got the new laptop, the Facebook account." "I should have known." "I didn't meet anyone, Carl, online or anywhere." "Well, then, what is going on?" "I'm making some changes in my life, big changes." "They will require all of my energy and my focus." "There just won't be time for anything else." "It's really as simple as that." "Paris" " Paris was supposed to be about us." " I'm not going to Paris." " I heard you tell Louise..." " I had to say something." " Well, then, what is going on?" "Where are you going?" "I can't really talk about it, but I have to go underground for a while, and no one can know where I am." " Not even me?" " Especially you." "I don't want you getting involved in this." "I couldn't live with myself if you got hurt." "I'm hurting right now." "I am so sorry, Carl." "I don't have a choice." "This is your idea of a safe harbor?" "There's cameras all over the building." "These people are my friends." "They'll help us figure out what we need to do." "Martin, I..." "Mr. Nayar." "Uh, Trevor Wilcox." " Wow, you're good." " We need somewhere to talk." "This way." "You can power your phone back up." "This place has a cell signal block." "Now, why would Aster Corps do this?" "I was a major shareholder of theirs because I believed in Calvin Norburg." "When he left, I left." "I took my money out of Aster Corps" " so I can give it to him." " I'm sure they're not too happy about that." "Their lawyers were relentless, but I refused to meet with them." "I was scheduled to transfer the money today, but..." "But they kidnapped your father." "I didn't even know anyone knew about my father." "We've been estranged for years." "My mother's dying wish was that I reconcile with him, but he lives on the street." "He does these crazy sculptures." "And I didn't try very hard to find him, and now my money is going to get him killed." "Excuse me just for one second, please." "What's happening?" "The man in the conference room is Vikash Nayar." "Jake's number led me to him." "His father was kidnapped;" "I think Aster Corps is behind it because he was trying to help Calvin Norburg." "So they kidnapped his father like they kidnapped Amelia." " That means he can help us;" "this is good." " Yes, yes," "I know, but we have to do this in stages." "Right now we have to help him find his father." "What?" "He knows Calvin." "We need Calvin in order to find Amelia, so I'm going to speak to him." "Lucy, please just, just calm down, okay?" "I don't want to calm down." "Jake, Jake, sweetheart, it's all right." "We were just talking, okay?" "Jake..." "I'm sorry." "I'm done talking." "I'm sorry." " Lucy." " I'm sorry, Jake." "Lucy, please." "Jake, Jake..." "Please just stay here." "Lucy!" "Lucy!" "Lucy!" "Lucy!" "Where are you going?" "I don't know." "Really, I was just wondering the same thing." "I was about to pull out and I thought," ""I havenowhere else to go."" "Do you know what I mean?" "I... have all this stuff and I don't know where to put it, so I just want to find my daughter, and I can't do anything, but I want to do something." "I know, I know." "Listen to me." "Right now the best chance we have to find Calvin Norburg is sitting in that conference room." "So... so why don't we just take a breath here, okay?" "And then go back inside and try and figure this thing out?" "I need to find my daughter." "I can't sleep." "I can't do anything." "I can barely walk." " I can barely get out of bed." " Look, look, look at me." "How long have you been looking for your daughter?" "Three years." "Look at how much closer we've gotten in just two days." "I need you to trust me." "I need you to believe that I'm gonna do everything I can to help you find your daughter." "I promise." "I'm sorry, I've..." "I've got to go back inside and get Jake." "Come on." "Just, I'll be a minute, okay?" "Thanks." "Okay." "I'll see you inside." "Okay." "In the Cathedral of Toledo, there is a hidden skylight, so high up that only those who seek the source ever see what's truly there." "And what's there?" "A portal to Heaven." "How is that not blasphemy?" "How is it?" "When man aspires to the level of God, he offends God, and offending God means death." "I believe in a more compassionate deity, one who welcomes us into Heaven." "We are always closer to Heaven than we realize." "Tell me the story." "Of what?" "Your scar." "It was a deep wound." "It's a painful memory... and shameful." "Shameful?" "Because it involves a woman." "Did you deserve it?" "Yes." "I hurt her... and I regret it deeply." "Then the scar serves its purpose." "To remind you the pain we inflict on others... remains our own." "I'm sorry." "It's..." "late." "Walk me to my flat?" "Vikash Nayar is gone, disappeared." "What are you talking about?" "Where'd he go?" "He got a phone call a couple minutes ago, went down the hall to take it." "Next thing I know, he was gone." "The kidnappers must have gotten to him." "Why would he listen to the kidnappers?" "Because he's desperate and he thinks he can save his father." "They'll kill both of 'em." "I'll call the hotel, see if they have a contact number" " for him." " Okay, I'll see if I can track down his..." "Where the...?" "Jake, did you take my cell phone?" "Trevor, has your phone got GPS tracking?" " Yeah." " Let me see it." "I got him." "He's heading eastbound on the 10." "You're a good boy, Jake." "Okay, heading east on Olympic." "You get a senseof how fast they're going?" "No, all I'm getting is a... a steady blinking dot." "W-W-Wait, south on Fig..." " F-Figueroa." " Figueroa." "How far ahead of us are they?" "I-I don't know, it's hard to tell." "Not that far." "Hold on." "Don't do this, Frances." "Don't cut me out of your life." "You are making this so much harder." "It should be hard." "It should be impossible." "It is." "I can't tell you what I'm doing or why." "This is my new phone number." "Please don't tell anyone." "This is it." "Thank you for walking me home." "I could have walked with you forever." "Why have I never met you before?" "Things happen when they must." "So we were destined to meet?" "What else are we destined for?" "You, for greatness." "Please don't." "It's true." "It's a burden and a lie." "What do you mean?" "The designs aren't mine." "They come to me fully formed." "There is no thought, no artistry, no pleasure." "I see patterns and calculations and I write them down." "You are the chosen vessel." "They come through you." "It's your destiny." "Must I fulfill my destiny?" "Can I choose a different path?" "Why would you?" "To be normal." "To be happy." "To feel loved." "I would give up everything for that." "Wouldn't you?" "We shall see." "I'm sorry." "What for?" "The answer is no." "No?" "We cannot choose a different path." "We must fulfill our destiny." "There they are." "What are they doing?" "Hey, he's not well." "Not my problem." " Is that a gun?" " I got an idea." "Let me see your phone." "All I have to do is pick a target in the photograph and I can enlarge it over a hundred times." "Tell your bosses I will cancel the deal with Calvin Norburg or I'll pay you whatever you want." "Just let us go." "Please, please." "Don't hurt my son." "I'm so sorry, Father." "It's almost time." "My sculpture, it will be revealed." "Please!" "What is that?" "Who knows you're here?" "Give me that." "No, that's not my phone." "That's not my phone." "What is this?" "Oh, man, that's us." "Somebody's watching us." "Who is this?" "The photographs that I just sent you," "I've also sent to the police." "I figure you've got four to seven minutes." "Look, I know you're just doing this for the money." "Don't be stupid." "Get out of there now." "All you have to do is leave the two men behind and walk away." "I said walk away, now!" "I said walk away, now!" "Let's go." "Come on, let's go." "They're moving, let's go." "You made this happen." "How can I ever repay you?" " Right now I'm just grateful that you and your father are okay." " Are you all right?" "Look, I am absolutely positive that Aster Corps was behind this, but I can't prove it;" "at least not now." "So you're going to have to tighten up your own security until you can get your funds transferred out of the company." "I'm going to give you my number in case Calvin Norburg wants to talk to me." "If he does, I would be grateful." " I'm Lucy." " Yes." "She will be here soon." "Who?" "Oh, my." "That's Amelia." "My daughter." "How did you do that?" "You have lost your child?" "Yeah." "You will find her." "The police are going to be here in about 15 minutes." "I can't be here." "Good luck." "Lucy, we need to go." "Amelia." "I'm sorry, but we've got to go now." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "Thank you." "We are all in motion, hurtling toward a destinywe did not choose and cannot avoid." "Hi, Amelia." "My name's Frances." "I'm going to take care of you from now on." "Just me, no one else." "I know you've been lonely." "I know you miss your mother." "I'm sorry she left you." "I'm a mother." "And it breaks my heart to see a child so all alone." "I'm alone, too." "We can keep each other company." "Maybe we'll go to the beach tomorrow." "You love the beach, don't you?" "I like the tides." "I brought you a book on tides." "So what do you think our chances are of getting a meeting with Calvin Norburg?" "I don't know, but I'm not getting my hopes up." "Huh." "Uh, that is a skill I have not yet mastered." "Jake?" "!" "Hey, Jake?" "!" " Jake?" " What's he doing?" "Jake, stop now!" "Don't you ever do that again." "Do you understand me?" "It's dangerous." "Hey." "Hey, what is it?" "Jake, hey!" "Hey, this is my school." "Do you go to school here, too?" "Want to play basketball?" "Look who it is." "Soleil." "Like the sun." "This is Martin," "Jake's dad." "We met her at the pier today." " Hi." " Hi." "Who?" "Come on, Jake!" "Let's go!" "Go." "Go." "What the hell is happening?" "Bodies moving through space speed up as they get nearer to one another." "The convergence is inevitable." "Come meet my grandpa!" "Grandpa!" "Grandpa!" " Hi." " Hi, honey." "This is my friend Jake." "Hey, Jake." "I'm Carl." "Let's go play!" "Come on!" "Oh, forget it." "For thousands of years, sailors have looked to the stars to understand where they are." "As oceans move beneath them, they take comfort in the fixed mark of the North Star." "But here, below, nothing ever stops moving." "Hello?" " Martin Bishop?" " Who is this?" "Calvin Norburg." "I understand you want to speak with me about Aster Corps." " Yes, very much." " I'll be in touch." "W-Wait." "Hello?" "Hey." "You can't sleep, either, huh?" "No." "Did you figure out where we are yet?" "Closer." "Resync for WEB-DL by Norther  lost0ne"
