"Ok." "Good luck." "Thank you." "Matt, I'm putting up maps of all the underground systems in the area." "Sewers, service pipes, everything, and I'm working on a ground penetrating radar map." "Ok, thanks Jess." "Any sign of Connor, by the way?" "Hey!" "Yo!" "Nice of you to join us." "Where have you been?" "I was worried." "I was just..." "I was just..." "with Philip." "Doing what exactly?" "Yeah, uh, that's... that's the thing, it's kind of classified." "But I'm going to need new coms and a new black box when we get back to the Arc," "Purely professional com?"

"No." "No." "I was obviously joking." " But really, a tank." " You can't have a tank." "Just dying to know." "Who is it, exactly, that Matt intends to shoot?" "Matt, I just sending you something through now." "Not good." "What's this?" "Satellite image." "Ground penetrating radar." "This creature's been here a long time." "Oy yi yi." "Stretches for miles and intersects every manmade tunnel and natural cave system under the city." "Yuck, lucky I just sanctioned it extermination then." "This would have to happen on the day I'm being vetted for knighthood." "Yeah, some creatures just have no sense of occasion do they?" "Right." "This... looks like his main tunnel." "Right, well it's nest is gonna be off that somewhere." "Why assume that?" "Our best bet is to predict when it resurfaces and be ready." "If it resurfaces." "It'll resurface." "Now that it knows it's got a food source above ground." "There's no creature like this in the fossil records." "So... must be from the future." "***" "Well... this is our Center of Operations." "I just intercepted this emergency call to the police." "It just came out of the gound and it was like this giant insect or something." "They did tell you what we do here?" "Not in detail, they just said it was covered by the offical secrets act." "What do you do exactly?" "Well, I don't like to talk about my own contribution but it's not every job that one gets to save lives." "I suspose I'll have to make it brief." "Matt, we have another potential creature attack." "I'm gonna send you the coordinates now." "A house not far from you." "It's killed again." "Right Jess, tell Becker to meet us there." "Two victims in an hour." "This things hungry." "Or it's stockpiling food." "Or there's more than one creature." "Right, then." "Either way, we gotta know." "Get those people out of here." "Connor, have you laid a map over those radar results yet?" "Yep." "Just today." "Can we make a 3D model of this?" "We're looking for a nest in the tunnels." "It will be part of an already exiting structure." "Ok, that's pretty specific for a creature we've never seen before, but I'm on it." "You seem to know lot about this thing." "Guys, stay back from the edge of the hole." "Need to find the next large patch of grass." "But the first attack was in the road." "It can't burrow through concrete, the workmen made that hole themselves." "It's hunting for food." "It won't be far." "We need to lure it out again." "How we gonna do that." "Vibrations." "***, you're right." "I am a genius." "Damn it." "Matt be careful." "Ok, Jess, I've located the nest." "I'm sending it over to you right now." "Done." "Where the hell is this thing." "Guys!" "Hey!" "It was under our noses all along." " No." " No." "Connor!" "Abby, no, no, come on." "We'll get him back, I promise, we'll get him back." "Come on." "Of course one doesn't do a job like this for the money, or the glory, but because it's the right thing to do." "Oh absolutely." "But one can't deny that recognition for a good job, well done, is always better." "Well I should think working with Philip Burton must have raised your profile." "I do think it so important these public, private partnerships are made to work effectively." "I couldn't agree with you more." "I mean little people said it wouldn't work but uh," "Philip and I have an excellent relationship." "You don't have to ask him." "Oh I will." "Might I ask... is the knighthood, uh, should we say a "done deal"." "At this stage we need to make sure everything's in order." "No skeletons in the closet if you know what I mean." "You won't find anything like that." "That is good news." "Frankly, I'm impressed." "Breech incident." "Small arms fire. 10 civilians requiring treatment for shock." "And we're one man down." "We've lost Connor." "Would you excuse me?" "What the hell's going on?" "*** Connor." "Yes, I heard you the first time." "What are we doing about it?" "At the risk of sounding a tad self involved this better not screw up my knighthood." "We can find him, don't worry." "If you were an insect would you want to eat Connor?" "Matt, you see the area Connor indicated as the most likely nest?" "I can, yeah." "I think he's right." "His black box signal is heading back towards the road works." "I'll set up and exclusion zone." "He's taking him back to the nest." "Yeah." "Probably went..." "Abby can dial into it carefully here." "Don't tell me to calm down." "This is Connor we're talking about." "He could be dead already." "If he is there's nothing we can do, if he isn't, charging in here without a plan is not going to help him." "It's one creature." "And it's already injured." "The bullets pierced the exoskeleton, I saw it." "You said yourself, we're not even sure if it is one creature." "Jess tracked Connors' black box to the last chamber under this building." "Burrowing insects hibernate in clusters when the weather heats up... a scout heads out to collect food." " Yeah." " Great." "Jess, we don't do anything until we're sure what's down there." "We could put a camera in." "What about infrared?" "Connor?" "Connor!" "Connor?" "Connor can you hear us?" "I can hear you." "Connor... are you ok, are you hurt?" "Few bumps and bruises but..." "I suppose that's to be expected in this line of work." "Hey... that's pretty nifty shooting guys." "Creature's dead." "Connor where are you?" "Are there any other survivors with you?" "No." "There's no other survivors." "Can you see a way up to the ground?" "Can you get out?" "There's an escalator." "Ok Connor, head up there." "Any sign of any more creatures?" "No." "There's no other creatures." "What is it?" "You hurt?" "I just don't like being on escalators that are not moving." "It's just really odd." "Connor..." "Got a little scratch on my leg." "Sure I'll be fine." "Ahh!" "Daylight." "Oh!" "Matt." "You know when you asked if there were any other creatures in here?" "Connor." "How many?" "More than I'm entirely happy about." "Can you get a route out of there?" "Can you get to the front doors?" "I can give it..." "I can give it a go." "Whatever you do, do not wake one of those creatures." "*** Matt, I wasn't planning to." "If you wake one of them, you wake all of them." "It doesn't matter if they escape we get the conventional weapons." "We'll take them out." "Not a nest of them you won't." "With this many tunnels they'll be all over the city in no time." "Connor, just get out of there." "Connor?" "I've got an idea." "Connor, now just get out of there." "Guys, guys, just listen to me." "Me getting out is the least of our problems." "If Matt's right then we need to deal with these creatures before it's too late." "And right now I'm in here." "So I'm our best hope." "Hey Connor forget that." "Listen to Abby and get out of there." "Look, trust me on this." "Get Jess to pull up the records of the utility services to the building." "I hope you got everything you need Miss Reese." "Very much so." "Frankly you've been most impressive." "With something like this, one does everything one can to help." "He must be a dear colleague." "So." "Who must be?" "So you said a "dear colleague", who do you mean." "Philip Burton of course." "I'm sure he'd be flattered to know the lengths you've gone for him today." "The knighthood's for him?" "Of course, who else." "He's going to be..." "Sir Philip Burton." "It has a ring to it, doesn't it." "If there were any doubts about his suitability." "You've certainly put my mind at rest." "It's all good." "It's all good." "Yep, good old Philip." "Good old Philip, or should I say, Sir Philip!" "Good." "Good." "Good." "Please tell me there's a gas supply that's been heading to this building." "Pipes are capped but the mains are connected, so all we have to do is turn the gas on again." "Do it." "I'm gonna open the valve." "You're a genius Connor." "So everyone keeps saying." "Yet here I am surrounded by 50 giant carnivorous insects." "Well that's on." "We'll have to clear the area." "****" "Place to ***, eh, Becker?" "I love that." "Boom." "Oh, I know, where is the valve?" "According to this it's *** on the southeast wall, you see it?" "Yeah, I think I've got it." "Ok." "Be careful Connor." "What could possibly go wrong?" "Oh." "Abby... if this doesn't work out too well," "you'll never so much as look at another man." "Forget it." "I'll be dating again within days!" "Yeah." "I guess with your looks I wouldn't blame you." "Right." "Here we go." "You ok?" "Yes." "Sorry about the knighthood." "Oh." "Priorities Jess, priorities." "All right, everybody move back." "Ok." "Ok, I'm nearly there." "That nest is primed." "Ok, I'm coming up out of here." "Connor are you on the move?" "Uhhh..." "Something's wrong." "Connor hurry up." "Jess shut off the gas." "No Jess don't." "They're awake and I'm trapped." "****" "They'll get through the tunnels and we won't be able to stop them." "Jess shut off the gas... now." "It's Matt's call." "Shut it off or I'm going to go in there and get him out myself." "You do that and the attacks we saw today are going to happen all over the city only a hundred times worse." "What are you doing?" "Remember I told you I'm not gonna let anything happen to him or you, ok?" "You're just going to have to trust me." "No live rounds here." "Won't take anything to set that gas off." "Abby!" "Abby I..." "I know." "Uhh." "What do we do?" "Connor." "Come on." "Come on Connor, breathe." "Welcome back." "Come on." "Let's get outta here." "Jess can you hear me?" "Can you hear me, where are they?" "Are they clear yet?" "Are they at a safe enough distance?" "No." "Wait." "They're still too close." "You've got to do it now." "Not yet." "Do it now." "That's an order." "No." "Becker now." "Sorry." "Abby!" "Connor." "Matt." "Matt." "Connor." "Can you hear me?" "Matt." "Connor." "Matt." "Next time..." "***" "It's nice to see you too, mate." "Creatures?" "All dead." "Nice work." "Oh, it's fine." "It only hurts when ***." "That is not fine." "****" "****" "Matt." "Thanks." "Come on." "So...." "It was your idea to blow up a perfectly good shopping center." "Guilty." "Not to worry." "I'll square it with the *** authorities." "Not that I need any recognition, or thanks, let alone any awards, unlike some people." "Connor there's a message from April." "She says well done for not getting killed and she's waiting for you in your lab." "April?" "Yeah." "She's a..." "I was gonna..." "She's kind of my new assistant." "Would you believe?" "Philip lent her to me." "You could come and meet her if you like." "Come 'n meet her." "Yep." " Ok." " Cool." "April." "Hi." "See you made yourself at home." "Tided up and everything." "This was a right mess." "You should see my flat." "This was nothing." "Philip gave me this for you." "It's a very posh case." "Cool." "Got a little posh folder and everything." "Right, well I take this up to..." "and read." "You can't take this with you." "It can't leave my possession." "Really." "You do want to be part of this project, don't you." "Philip chose you." "That doesn't happen very often." "Yeah, yeah, of course I do, it's just..." "I kind of got dragged underground by a... doesn't matter." "I'm a bit of a mess is what I'm concerned about." "Of course." "Have a shower, check in with medical, whatever you need to do." "I'll have some food brought in for us for when you get back." "Cool." "All work and no play." "Matt." "I came to talk to you myself about how you could have known so much about those creatures." "And then I realized... you knew them because you'd seen them before," "in the future." "Which means one of two things." "Either you've been to their time or you came from there in the first place." "So which one is it?" "Come with me." "He'll have the New Dawn files read by morning." "I'll keep him here until he's done it." "Good." "Then I want you to find out if Danny Quinn told anyone else about Helen Carter before he left." "In the future this planet's dying." "This is my only chance to save it." "And if I fail all life on earth will come to an end." "What has that got to do with the Arc?" "Something goes wrong with the anomalies in this era." "I'm here to find out what it is, and if I can, stop it." "So your whole identity is a lie and you've been investigating us all since you got here." "I think you can be sure of Connor." "Keep him on a tight leash anyway." "Till we can be certain of his loyalty." "Connor?" "I bet I need to know what he's doing for Philip." "You think it's him." "Connors' data on anomaly convergence is the last piece of the jigsaw." "We're definitely close to a breakthrough." "I'm gonna show you something." "What they're looking at is your future." "Ok." "If you're going to be part of this, you have to know what you're dealing with." "I need you to help me."
