"No sightings yet." "But there's definitely something out here." "Livestock gone missing, strange tracks down by the river, and the locals are totally freaked." "Well, the locals are freaks, but that's probably unrelated." "This is it." "Hello?" "I can see something." "I can see things." "Far out." "Tell me something, Connor." "Do you ever think about your future?" "Not really." "Just be happy if I've got one." "You wouldn't be surprised to hear that I've been monitoring you for quite a while now." " Have you?" " Prospero's conducting" " his own anomaly research." " Really?" "We think you're wasted in the field." "You should be in the lab." "Full-time." "That's why I want you to come over and head up my team." "I'll square things away with Lester." "You and I both know that the animals are a distraction." "It's the anomalies that really matter." "Wow, that's fantastic." "Obviously, I'll have to square it with Abby first but..." "Fine." "Well, once you have her permission, come and see me." "No, it's not like I need her permission..." "I can't keep this offer open indefinitely, Connor." "Let me know." "Matt?" "Am I boring you?" "When I'm reprimanding somebody for being completely unprofessional and stupid, I expect them to at least pretend they're listening." "Emily thought if she came in, she'd be locked up and treated like a freak." "Was she wrong?" "Not locked up." "Protected." "For how long?" "For months?" "For years?" "I see, yes, and your way was better, was it?" "Yeah?" "Play games, keep secrets, leave her unsupervised and in danger." "How do you suppose she's feeling now?" "We'rejust wasting time here." "I should be out there looking for them both." "This Ethan guy is dangerous." " False alarm?" " What's he doing here?" "What the hell is going on?" "We're picking up something, but the signal is very weak." "Do you mind if I..." "Thank you." "Yeah, it's an anomaly, but it's unstable." "The energy seems to be fluctuating." "I've never really seen that before." "Interesting." "Well, I think we need more detailed information." "Get the team down there." "I'm sorry, James." "That is, of course, your call." "Well, get the team down there." "Abby and Connor can handle this." "I need to find Emily and Ethan." "Right now, your place is out in the field." "Go." "Don't worry." "We'll clean up your mess." " She's my responsibility." " Our responsibility." "We're a team." "I think it's really about time you understood that." "Sorry, did anybody hear me give a direct order?" "Hmm?" "The places we've been, hmm?" "Nine times out of 10, the human race hadn't even begun." "Gateway after gateway, millions of years, millions of miles, and my Charlotte dies in the very city of her birth." "Tsk, tsk, tsk." "I've travelled with you for three years, Emily." "Don't you think I know all your tricks?" " We don't belong here, Ethan." " Speak for yourself." "Charlotte was my friend, too." " Don't you think I'm grieving?" " Don't." "Don't compare your feelings to mine." "I loved her." "If you blame me so much for her death why don't you just kill me here, now?" "All in good time." "What are you going to do?" "You and I are the only ones in this world to have known her." "She deserves a proper funeral." "We're nearly there." "You got a signal yet?" "No." "The anomaly must have closed." "Or it's too weak to pick up." "Thanks." "So, what do you think I should do?" "I mean, you've got to admit, it's a pretty incredible opportunity." "I would rather shower in toxic waste than have anything to do with Philip Burton's lousyjob." "Right, I'm sensing you're still a bit angry with him?" "Can't think how you're getting that idea." "Mum." "Mum, he's gone." " The guy in the tent." " Good." " One less thing to worry about." " But he's gone." "The Worm got him." "Ray!" "There is no Worm." "Will you stop?" "Let's see if the locals have noticed anything out of the ordinary." "Jess, tell Matt we'll be in the pub." "Morning." "Nice day." "I suppose a white wine spritzer's out of the question?" "Ah." "Thanks." " Hey." " Hello." "A bit early, isn't it?" "Even for you two." "So which field cove has a mythical creature?" "I'd love to know more." "Like I told the kid camping up on the headland, superstitious nonsense." "So no one's actually seen this creature, then?" "Only children and drunks believe in the Worm." "Jess, see what you can find out about the Wychfield Worm." "This place is seriously weird." "So, what's the story with you and Philip?" "You were looking very tight this morning." "Sorry, it's all in confidence." "All right, fine, you bullied it out of me." " Offered me a job at his lab." " His lab?" "Philip's doing research work outside of the ARC?" "I really shouldn't say, but yeah." "It's called Prospero." "And the resources they have there, they could really push the thing forward." "Anything could be possible." "Well, I think I'd like to see inside Prospero someday." "Well, I'll see what I can do." "Jess said that people and livestock have been going missing round here for decades." "Either a creature's been here all that time..." "Or the anomaly keeps reoccuring and different creatures are moving back and forth?" "Most of the possible sightings have been out in the headland." "Okay." "Well, you check up there." "I'll go and see if I can find this kid the barman mentioned." "This place is well creepy." "All we need now is a weird kid sat on a porch, playing a banjo." "What is it?" "I don't know any farm animal that produces a mucus like that." "Maybe it's a giant snail." "At last, a creature we're going to be able to outrun." "See, now I'm thinking Texas Chain Saw Massacre." "Hmm." "Petrol." "Turn around slowly!" "You are on private property!" "Now, put those weapons on the ground." "But they're not really weapons." " Put them on the ground." " Fine." " Down." " Putting it down." "And those earpieces, take them out." " Really?" " Out!" " Now!" " Okay." "Why are you on my land?" "You're not police." "No." "No, we're not." "We're not police." "We're just interested in the Worm." "That's all." "All the sightings that happened round here." "Tourists, are you?" "Carrying weapons like that?" "I don't think so." "Okay." "All right." "You want the truth?" "Yes." "We're a secret government department." "That Worm's a dangerous prehistoric creature and we're here to capture it, quietly, and take it away." "Secret government department..." "Prehistoric creature?" "Do you take me for an idiot?" "No." "Now, tell me why you're really here." "Mum!" "You idiot!" "Abby, Connor, I found body parts in the river." "I need you here now." "Get away from the water!" "Get away from the water!" "Get away from the water!" "Go!" "Get away!" "Go!" "Move!" "I found this on CCTV near Matt's flat." "What on earth is going on?" "He's kidnapping her." "Yes, I can see that." "I mean, why do it here?" "You know, why can't he kidnap her in the Jurassic era where it's not my problem?" "Becker fit for duty?" " No, he's still on medical leave." " "No, he's still" ""on medical leave. " Yeah, of course he is." "Right, pull Matt out of the field." "And don't tell Philip." "Twenty, 25-feet long amphibian." "Wide head," " short legs." " Labrynthodont." "That'd be my guess, headed upstream." "Matt, there's news on Emily." "Ethan took her from your flat." "He had a knife." "Lester wants you back here now." " We'll handle it." " Go." "Okay." "You take the other bank." "It's bound to come out eventually." " What is it, Jess?" " That's my seat." "Gotcha!" "Abby, Connor, we've got a signal." " Yep, got it." " Connor!" "There's tracks." "It came out here." "Forget about the tracks." "Prioritise the anomaly." "I want you to find it now." "Disregard that order." "Jess, tell them to find and contain the creature." "Something is keeping that anomaly in a suspended state." "Now, whatever it is might give us a vital clue as to how and why they appear." "No priority's greater than human life." "Jess, do it." "Connor, Abby, Lester says keep on the creature's trail." "Connor, you understand the importance of this." "I want you to get a black box in front of that anomaly as soon as possible!" " Yeah, I understand, but we really..." " We'll split up." "Connor can find the anomaly, I'll take the creature." "Not on your own." "Matt, go with her." "His radio's down, but we're on it." "Don't go on your own." "You wait for backup, okay?" "It'll take too long." "Okay, well, stay there." "I'll come with you." "You need some help." "Connor, I can handle it." "I don't need you or backup or Philip telling me how to do my job." " Okay?" " Abby!" "Great." "Okay." " Where are we going to take it?" " Anywhere." "The place will be crawling with cops any minute." " I have an idea." " You?" "An idea." "I know somewhere safe." "Boys, get inside." " Lock the door." " Nice gun." "Can we see it..." "Run!" "Whoa!" "Run!" "Dump the last of that." "Abby?" "Abby, you okay?" "Fine." "I'm back at the farm." "The anomaly's here somewhere." "You had any luck with the creature?" "I found the creature." "Everything's under control." " Are you sure?" " Yep." "Oh, yeah." "No problem." "Okay." "Cool." "Connor's en route to the anomaly and Abby's found the creature." "I can't keep an eye on Matt and Philip as well." "Plus, I've now got two black-box signals from Matt." "Okay, right." "I'm on it." " You're on it?" " Why not me?" "Do you even know how the hub works?" "Can you use the radio or the anomaly detector?" "Honestly, Jess, if you can manage it, how hard can it be?" "Which..." "Okay, mmm-hmm, and um, yep." "How do you switch the radio on?" " It is on." " Oh." " Ah." " I've just set up a secure line between you and Matt." "Okie-dokie." "Uh, Matt, can you hear me?" "Matt?" "Uh, Jess?" "Matt can't hear me and the computer's broken." "It helps if you put the volume up." "Yeah, sarcasm won't get you promoted, Jess." "Hmm, must have worked for you." "Don't think I didn't hear that." "Right, uh, Matt, can you read me?" "Lester?" "What are you doing there?" "Bear with me." "I'm the new Jess." "Right." "Now, I've got two blinking dots on the screen, both of them with your name on." "That can't be right." "Emily." "She must have taken a black box from my flat." "Okay, uh, breaking news, she's travelling eastbound on the fast lane of the motorway at about 80 miles an hour." "Now, unless I'm very much mistaken, they didn't have cars in the Victorian era." "Get me the coordinates." "The coordinates?" "Yes." "I'll do that right now." "Philip, it's not here." "Well, according to these readings, you're right on top of it." "Of course I am." "It's underneath me." "We're here." "Matt, they've stopped." "Uh, Tower Hill Cemetery." " Cemetery?" " She must be moving on foot." "Did you drive that?" "How did you know?" "Who are you?" "Where is she?" "Um, she's heading for the northwest exit." "Iron ore?" "That's odd." "There's a gate over the entrance." "Can you see the anomaly yet?" "Bear with me." "Connor, have you found it?" "Abby, the anomaly's in a cave on a beach under the headland." "See if you can get the creature down here." "Come on!" "I'm on my way." "I promised I'd take you home, Charlotte." "She was the only one who ever knew me." "And now she's gone," "I barely know myself." "What are you talking about?" "I've been alone for so long." "I should have died a hundred times, but I didn't." "And I told her, if I ever made it back, I'd find them and I'd make them pay." "And now, I'm here." "Who?" "My family." " Please, Ethan, you need help." " Shh." "Shh." "Philip, there's something strange down here." "There's some kind of white sludge." "It's thick, gelatinous and... it's kind of metallic looking." "There's something else coming down from the surface as well." "What is it?" "Well, it's..." "It's acid but..." "What the hell is that doing down here?" "The sludge, it's bismuth." "Pass the energy from an anomaly through acid and what do you get?" "Electrolysis." "The longer the anomaly keeps trying to open..." "The more bismuth it creates, the more the anomaly gets repelled." "So that's what's making the anomaly unstable, some kind of acid?" "Exactly." "Damn!" "Abby?" "The anomaly's getting weaker." "How far are you with that creature?" "Abby?" "There's a second creature down here." "It's been affected by the acid." "It seems in a lot of pain." "Abby?" "Did you hear that?" "Abby?" "Jess, I can't raise Abby on her comms." "No, but she's okay." "I'm following her tracker signal." "Okay." "The anomaly's gone." "The signal's still there." "It's faint." "You just can't see it." "Connor, where's the acid coming from?" "It must be from the farm." "That woman and her son were definitely up to something." "They've been dumping it down here." "I think I know why." "Connor, are you there?" "Connor, come in." "Wait, just tell me where she is." "You're too late." "May she rest in peace." "Just tell me where she is and we can help you get home." " I am home." " Who are you?" "I am the future." "I am the past." "You and your friends think you know all about the gateway, but you don't have a clue." "Yeah?" "Well, what do you know?" "With what I know, I can do anything." "What are you going to do?" "I'm going to make them see what I've seen, and suffer like I've suffered." "Lester, he's getting away." "Get backup on the exits." "Direct me to Emily's black box." "Mum, we have to get out of here." "Leave him for the Worm." "You and your stupid Worm!" "Can't you be serious for a minute?" "It's a good story, but it's getting old." "Mum, when are you going to believe me?" "There's two of them." "This is where they live." "And what do you think the gate's for?" "I built it to stop them getting out." "I always knew you were a half-wit." "Look." "Oh, my God!" "It's all right." "That one won't harm you." "We need to get out of here before the big one gets back." "I thought you were making it up." "That creature's dying." "It's from all the acid that you two have been dumping down here." "And I know what you're up to." "You're stripping the dye from cheap farm diesel and selling it off as commercial fuel." "Mum did what she had to do." "And so did I." "You opened the gate?" "You let that kid on the headland get eaten?" "You basically murdered him!" "Oh, my God." "Mum, I..." "I did it for you." "Oh, my God!" "Abby's just heading towards the cave now." "I'm tracking her." "Abby, are you there?" "Jess!" "Jess, can you hear me?" "Connor, are you okay?" "I'm fine, for now." "Where's Abby?" "Connor, she should be standing right in front of you." "Trust me, I think I know what's right in front of me." "Her signal's right there." "What?" "But I mean..." "Abby!" "The black box must be just ahead of you." "I see it." "She's got to be down here." "Charlotte!" "Charlotte?" "Who's Charlotte?" "Cameron." "The dead woman at the theatre." "Emily's friend." "Her name was Charlotte Cameron." "Emily!" "Emily!" "Hey, hey, hey." "You're okay." "You're okay." "Hey, hey, hey." "You're okay." "You came looking for me." "Yeah." "Of course." "The diesel's diluting the acid." "The anomaly's opening." "Get away from him!" "What the..." " Abby, you're alive!" " Yeah." "Last time I checked." "No, no, no, don't shoot." "There's petrol everywhere." "I think they just want to go home." "The anomaly's fading." "No, that's not going to..." "Abby!" "Move!" "That was, uh, more eventful than I imagined." "Connor?" "I thought you..." "I thought you'd been eaten, I..." "You all right?" "Yeah." "Yeah, it's just..." "It's good to, um..." "For a minute there, I thought you were gone." "It'd be a pretty lonely place here without you." "Well, I'm here." "Yes, you are." "Mmm." "Please don't do that to me again." "I'll try my best." "How could you have let him escape?" "Emily would have died if I hadn't." "You put one life above billions of others." "Haven't I taught you anything?" "I don't believe you would have done any different." "We don't even know for certain that Ethan's to blame for what happened." "Why else has he appeared right now?" "Matthew, this is it." "I feel it." "I know it." "And so do you." "This has never been about fighting an army." "This isn't about money or power or force." "Look at the destruction Helen Cutter almost wreaked upon humanity." "What did she have?" "Hmm?" "Knowledge." "That's all that's needed, one person with enough knowledge to bring down the whole world." "You're right." "I'll find him." "Do whatever it takes, even if it means sacrificing this Emily." "If he discovers she's still alive, he'll come for her again." "You can use that against him." "You want me to use her as bait?" "Matthew, harden your heart." "Do your job." "Nothing else matters." "Three people died." "Yes, I'm aware of that, and I deeply regret it." "But Connor, the data you recovered today is invaluable, data that might help us solve the riddle of the anomalies, and if we can do that, countless lives could be saved." "Philip, about the job offer," "I am unbelievably flattered." "It'sjust..." "I wouldn't feel comfortable in a lab, knowing that there was other people, my friends, out there risking their lives." "It just..." "It doesn't sit well with me." "I see." "Well, you're making a big mistake." "That's what I'm afraid of." "What about a compromise?" "I still work on your projects, but I do it in my spare time?" "Connor, it's not a hobby." "I can do both." "I know it." "I..." "I really want this." "Okay." "We'll have a lab set up over here." "And Connor, working for Prospero is strictly confidential." "And by that, I mean you don't tell anybody." " Yeah." " Not even Abby." "Yep." "I mean, she's not really interested in this side of things anyway, so that..." "I'll be fine." "Welcome aboard."
