Will!
Clara, what are you
still doing here?
I thought you were
going to evacuate
With the other
residents.
She wasn't
supposed to be here.
[crying]
Ashley, please
Mom
[sobbing]
Helen?
It's a miracle.
Ashley?
Mom
Welcome home.
[gasps]
Hmm.
The repairs
on the beijing sanctuary
Will be finished in march.
And how long
Before the moscow
and london sanctuaries
Are reopened?
Three months,
Provided the contractors
hold to their estimates.
Tokyo, however,
is a total loss.
Which means we have
A lot of dispossessed
residents to deal with.
The sanctuary
network survived.
That's what
matters most.
It's just
Hard to keep that
in mind sometimes.
Yes.
clara.
So many tragedies
to process.
I take it
that's our cargo.
No, ours is
in the hold.
Okay, well, i've got
five trucks waiting, so
And the rest?
Magnus said you requested space
for 20 abnormal refugees.
Not 20 abnormals
of abnormals.
Oh
[screeching and roaring]
Whoo-hoo!
i can see the light.
[laughing]
Oh!
Now, that's better.
Whoo, man,
was it hot in there!
Boy, i could sure do
with a lemonade.
Yo, beijing,
what's a guy gotta do
To get a cold drink
around here, huh?
Huh?
Ooh, you're a lot of help.
[scoffs]
I'm out of here.
see you.
We're going to need
some more trucks.
Stop doting on me.
It makes
my teeth itch.
Mine too.
Now, eat.
I should be helping
henry and will.
Oh, they're fine.
Everything's running
smooth as silk.
[barks]
[creatures squeak and chirp]
Oh, no, you don't.
Okay
This is
a freaking mess.
Whoa!
So many
wonderful guests!
You know, we got to figure out
a tagging system or something,
'cause half these things
Shouldn't even be
breathing the same air.
[laughs]
whoo!
Hey!
Whoa
Come on,
come and get it, shorty!
I'm short?
Okay, so all grade four
security risks are in the shoe.
How's the food and water
holding up?
[creature roars, will shouts]
Hey, down, smithers.
Git
[squeaking]
All right.
yeah,
I pulled in big favors
from our suppliers.
Got, um--
[creature retching
everyone yelps]
Whoa
Yeah, he's-
he's not well.
Oh, god
I hope the plumbing
holds up.
Yeah, it's not the plumbing
i'm worried about.
Magnus isn't letting me
reset the em shield.
It's still set
to high security mode.
You have any idea
what kind of drain that is
On our electrical system?
Well, i'm sure magnus
is not overly concerned
About the utility bill
right now.
No, i know.
I'm just saying,
We can't even plug in
a toaster right now
Without blowing a fuse.
I got 15 guests
on the upper levels.
I got another dozen
in trucks waiting for rooms--
Henry, henry, look.
i know, okay?
Everything's a mess right now,
but we can handle it.
Really? well, tell that
to the 12 guys waiting in the--
Dude.
We can handle it,
okay?
Let's just give 110%
And take it
one game at a time.
Okay, one game at a time.
It's time for you
to be the man.
Be the man.
look out!
[will yelps]
Smithers,
come on!
Would you--
could you--
Sorry about him.
All right, be the man.
Be the man
[chuckling]
Hmm
Good times.
[knock on door]
Hey.
[groans in distaste]
Wow
See, this is
why we ask
For a cleaning
deposit from you
When you check in.
Ha ha.
So you're really going, huh?
Well, i can't
exactly stay.
I mean, the whole
attack on this place,
Me shooting the boss' kid
with a rocket,
The kid going boom
Things are just
too, uh
Weird now.
Things are usually weird
around here,
But i agree, they're especially
weird right now.
Look, i appreciate
you guys
Letting me stay here
as long as you have,
But you need
room at the inn, so--
Kate, do you want to stay here?
[scoffing] no.
Why do you ask?
Well, you've taken
your sweet time leaving.
You've obviously
made yourself at home.
I don't know.
Well, the leg's
still a bit stiff.
I was planning on waiting
until i was in peak condition
Before shipping out.
[distant crashing]
Whatever.
Look, if you're leaving,
clean the place up,
And if you're staying,
Clean the place up.
Yeah, yeah.
Garbage pickup's
at 4:00.
Good to know.
"garbage pickup is at 4:00.
"
[will]: okay, just stop.
Stop being an idiot,
all right?
Are we going to
do this now?
Are we going
to do this now?
Okay, fine, and don't
bare your teeth at me!
I know what that means
when you do that!
Please, will,
Come in.
We'll discuss this
later.
God
I know you've had
your hands full,
And i really appreciate you
all giving me some time,
But i'm hardly
the only one
Personally affected
by recent events.
We haven't spoken since
clara's memorial service.
Yeah, which was
five days ago.
Magnus, what happened was
The worst thing
I could possibly
imagine,
But it happened,
And you mourning
ashley alone
Is not going to
do yourself
Or anyone else
any good.
All righ
without closure--
I know all of that, will.
Then why are you
delaying the inevitable?
Why are you hiding
in here?
Simple or complicated version?
Your choice.
What are you doing?
I've wanted to tell you
exactly that for days, will,
But i had to be sure,
And now i am.
Of what?
I'm not mourning anything,
Not yet
Because i believe
there's a very real chance
That ashley may still be alive.
Is that a real,
live stenopelhabilis?
Not so much alive
as dead.
These two were
the last of their kind.
They bought
when london was hit.
I didn't even know
There was any left
in existence.
There are many species
under our care
We prefer people
to believe are extinct.
no way, you had a male
and a female?
We were trying
to breed them.
Dr.
magnus wanted them
brought here for study,
And safekeeping.
What?
Well, you don't think
i know about the tusks?
That's all you see,
isn't it?
Dude, do you know
how much those are worth
On the european market alone?
And i'm talking for each pair.
Forget about asia,
that'd be, like, double the--
[li]: who are you?
Ark-fong li, head of
the beijing sanctuary,
Meet kate freelander,
Professional
pain in the ***,
Who i believe was just leaving.
I was, but will asked me
to stay a little longer
And help out
with all the newbies and stuff.
Garbage detail.
My idea.
See ya.
How could she have survived?
And believe me,
I say this wanting her
to be somewhere, anywhere,
Alive and well.
Which could very well
be the case.
The first attacker
teleported at 18:25 hours.
Notice the change in
the em field's strength?
The second
attempted teleport
Happened less than
three minutes later.
Further destabilizing
the field.
Exactly.
So you're saying
The em field
was unstable when--
Ashley teleported
at 18:29 hours.
You think she got through?
A further analysis
needs to be done
To determine exactly where
She could have
landed.
I need you to be
my emotional compass.
We nearly lost
the entire sanctuary network
Because of my judgment.
I need to know that
my instincts aren't wrong.
That my feelings
don't end up
Blinding
my decisions.
[door opens quietly]
Heck, yeah.
Come to mama.
[squelching]
Oh!
Okay, i'm going to gag.
[creature grunting and snarling]
I'll be damned
Love child
of the dead.
Shh
[clucks soothingly]
hey
Come to mama
Ow!
You little--
Oh--
Fabulous.
If we move the kitapholus
drocena here,
We could put
the seroslugs
On the third floor
by the lotus elks.
No, lotus elk
eat seroslug.
What about
the cryo-lab?
Uh, that's
the only room
That goes to
minus 30 degrees.
I was hoping to save that
for the northern halcylops.
Ah, what about
the pradophili?
Ooh, pradophili!
Yeah, okay.
Hey! ape man
And short human guy,
I ordered thai food,
like, an hour ago.
What, are you clowns
on strike, or what?
Look,
annoying insect guy,
You'll eat when
it's your turn to eat.
Oh, wait a minute.
You hate me because
i got wings, don't you?
Because i have
the freedom of flight
And you don't!
Yeah, that's why
i hate you.
Now go back to your shoebox
and let us work, please.
Ooh, uh,
you going to eat that?
Because i can make a serious
smorgasbord with that.
Hey, listen,
Will you go away
if i give it to you?
[cackling]
Whoa, holy jeez!
The density of these things.
I can feel my deltoids.
Oh
Hey, sweet cheeks,
my room, now!
You wish.
Hey
What happened to you?
Oh, yeah.
Well, it seems like
the dead female steno
Was still able to carry
a healthy baby,
And mazel tov,
She had one.
That's great!
We should put it
in an incubator or something.
Slight problem.
It got away.
Say again?
Hey, i tried to stop it,
But the little ***
tried to eat me.
They were all in stasis.
Mom was
in stasis.
Junior, as it turns out,
not so much.
This is not good.
this is not good.
We have to find it
Before it gets eaten
by something,
Or vice versa.
What were you
doing down there?
That is a very
Astute question.
Perhaps you'd like
to sell me too?
Maybe.
How in the world?
Oh, that's nasty food.
No, no, no, no, no.
Not good for you at all.
Here, now.
Here, just let me--
[steno snarls, li yelps]
[speaking mandarin]
I know that look.
Just spill it.
What do you think
happens after we die?
You've seen
more lives end
Than anyone else
that i know.
Kurt and albert and i
Got into
this discussion once
At a princeton
football game.
I think it was 1953.
Albert argued
That the concept of
matter equaling energy,
And vice versa,
Was far more ubiquitous
Than any of us
could have imagined.
That would be
Kurt godel
and albert einstein?
Of course.
Look, i'm a guy
hammering in stakes here.
You want to have
A little mercy?
What do i think
death is?
Yeah.
Did you ever see
"field of dreams"?
Yeah, i loved
that movie.
The cornfield.
It's rather like that.
I never understood
What happened
in the cornfield.
Nobody did.
that was the point.
Helen
You're missing out
on all the fun.
There's food
if you're hungry.
Dr.
li can patch you up
if you're injured.
I haven't the time.
I wonder why.
You'll be
pleased to know
Nikola and i are making
significant headway
Into the cabal's
operations.
Individual cells exist,
But the central
brain trust has
Been undone.
You're killing them off.
Well, they exist only
as disparate,
Disconnected camps now.
And dana whitcomb?
A fugitive,
But it's only
a matter of time.
She will answer
for what she's done.
With her life?
will that help?
Oh
On second thought,
don't answer that.
Perhaps once i've found her,
I'll simply hand her over
to the authorities?
I don't need your blessing!
And there is
a part of you
That's dying for the moment
i come and tell you it's done.
I'm choosing to focus
on other things, john,
Like rebuilding.
Then plan ashley's funeral.
Not yet.
not until i say.
In this delusional
little game you're playing--
There is a chance--
Is there really?
Yes!
You may have been able
to convince these others
To follow you down
this perverse rabbit hole,
But i will not!
They took her from us
In the most unnatural way
Possible!
I'm doing my part.
[whispering]: do yours.
[wind howling]
Gas station's five miles back.
Actually,
I-i'm trying to find
tehuatonichen.
My information says
it's in this area.
Am i close?
Ain't nothin' round here
but desert.
We'll track the steno,
and we'll bag it with snares,
Or if we have to,
we'll use a shock web.
No, definitely not,
And please, gently
with the snares.
We don't want
to hurt it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
dude
Snares?
it's a steno.
I say you set the phasers
to 11
And fry the sucker.
hmm?
It was defending
itself,
Most likely from being sold
on the black market
By you.
[bigfoot snarls menacingly]
We need some bait.
We were feeding
its parents
Bamboo leaves
and shoots--
Or my day-old
hamburger
Shush.
As i was saying,
We have several
rare genera of bamboo
From the southern
yangtze region
Which i'm sure it will
find very delicious.
Let's just get this thing
back in a cage
Before it gets eaten
by something hungrier
And bigger.
I'm telling you, burgers!
Thanks for the tip.
And the whole the snare thing,
big mistake!
I can't see
anything here.
There's no evidence
in the bio-scanner
Of ashley escaping
the em field perimeter.
I've been looking at this
from the wrong point of view.
I thought
The de-stabilization
in the field meant
That she might've
gotten through it.
What else could it mean?
Well, that she simply
bounced back
Within the field itself,
Re-materialized somewhere
inside the sanctuary.
Think about it,
will.
Why did
the field weaken
At the exact moment
that she teleported?
An anomaly?
A power surge because
she was taking
One of the super abnormals
with her at the time?
You're reaching.
All we need to do
Is search for elements
of ashley's dna
Inside the sanctuary.
No, no, no, you're reaching.
We have had a work crew
in the sanctuary
For a week,
And no one
has found anything
That could be possibly
be construed as a body.
But they haven't been
everywhere.
She could be disoriented
Or hurt.
Or gone.
Do you really want me to stop?
Ground floor,
lower level secured.
Okay, good.
Dr.
li?
No sign yet.
Perhaps it's
sleeping somewhere.
They only sleep
at night.
It will definitely
be awake.
Everybody stay in touch.
[soft grunting]
Wait, wait, wait.
I have him.
Can you get it?
[beckoning
with whistles and clucks]
All right.
All right
On the move,
going for the lower levels.
Hey, big guy,
it's headed your way!
Ready.
[bigfoot barking softly]
Got you, you little--
Oh
Hey, what happened?
Oh, it jumped.
It can't jump.
stenos don't do that.
This one did.
Oh, damn it.
It's in
the vent system.
Can't you just
trap it in there?
Not fast enough.
this is very bad.
Oh, great.
It's gone.
Well, you clearly don't need my help.
This is a disaster.
The titanic's
a disaster.
Madonna's movie career,
disaster.
This is nothing.
You don't
get it, do you?
I'm supposed to be the man,
And losing
a one-of-a-kind baby steno
Does not exactly make me
"the man".
Quite a predicament.
If only you had
the services
Of a world-class
hunter/tracker
At your disposal.
Name your price.
Never say that to me
unless you mean it.
I'm saying it.
Mommy and daddy's tusks.
No.
no.
no way.
The bamboo salesman
and the giant walking rug
Are running the sanctuary,
And i'm right here,
Healthy, willing and able.
[slurps noisily]
Come on, henry,
Do you want to be
the man or not?
One steno tusk.
one.
Two sets of two,
or it's not worth it.
One set--
The female.
Fine.
Let's roll!
Once the scan
is complete,
Any biological artifacts
matching ashley's dna
Should show up.
If we do
find something,
How do we know
That it's not from
one of the super abnormals
That attacked us?
Didn't they share
ashley's dna?
I'm hopeful
That there are ways
to tell the difference.
Either way,
We should have a good idea
of what really happened.
[sighs heavily]
I can't tell if this
is a real investigation
Or a train wreck.
Oh, look, i-i'm sorry,
i didn't--
No, no.
Never stop doing that,
Being honest with me.
anything else,
and i will be insulted.
Thanks.
Sancho panza
had it easy.
Ashley and i always had
to face tragedy and loss
In our work.
I taught her
a saying--
"nos must amitto vivo en.
"
"we must let go
to live on.
"
Well done, sancho.
You know,
she always faced death
Better than me,
Among many things.
That must've
been hard,
Just you and her.
It was worth every minute.
[bigfoot]: there has been
an incident
at vera's burger shack
on salisbury.
Just let me handle
the cops, okay?
Can i help
you folks?
Health department.
We got a call about
a code violation.
Okay, go ahead.
Health department?
No one ever checks.
So, what did i tell you?
Burgers.
Okay, shush.
It happened
only 20 minutes ago.
It couldn't have
gotten far.
Especially
if it just ate.
Is it just me,
Or has its
shoe size gone up?
We're going to need
a bigger cage.
Just chowed down,
Been on the run
for a while.
If i was a full,
tired critter,
I'd want a place
to lay low for a bit.
Make a nest.
I'm thinkin' yeah.
Yeah.
Made it myself.
I'm not hungry, thank you.
Okay.
Will, would you please
stop hovering?
I can take care of myself.
You've barely eaten
for six days.
You've had
hardly any sleep.
Even for you,
this is extreme.
I'm fine.
Yes and no.
You've got
a clear mind,
Good focus,
But you also, you know
You drift off now and again.
you leave.
It's just memories.
[sighs]
If this bio-scan
comes up empty--
What theory will i cook up next
to keep this quest alive?
No, i wasn't saying that.
Yes, you were.
I need to know,
Are you searching for closure
Or a miracle?
There are no such thing
as miracles.
[computer beeps]
It's found something.
Okay,
the coordinates say
It should be
right
There.
Oh, my God.
Once you get it free,
bring it to the lab.
I'll run a full autopsy.
I'll meet
you there.
Big guy, if you
want me to do this--
No.
Oh!
Wow.
Okay.
okay,
i draw the line.
Come on.
Big kudos
to the consultant.
You were right about it
trying to find a place
To lay low.
That's a sewer
down there.
Yeah.
City worker gets
attacked in the sewer.
We go into the sewers.
And the stink
That never comes out
of your clothes?
Are we ignoring
the need
For new wardrobe?
Get in the hole.
Okay, but not
with this.
No, no, come on.
Get with
the program, please.
Hank, reality check.
This thing just sent
a fry cook
And a sewer worker
To the emergency room
With lacerations.
It's obviously
way nastier
Than it was
this morning.
You want the tusks
or not?
Anything?
The remains
are too burnt
To determine
a fingerprint pattern.
What about you?
X-rays we were able
to recover.
Tissue analysis
and bone density results
Will take
a little more time.
This isn't ashley.
How can you tell?
Ashley broke her right femur
when she was 12 years old.
This one shows no evidence
of re-calcification.
These are the remains
Of one of the other
super abnormals
That attacked us.
[sighs]
Okay, well, it's something.
Look, i-i know
you were hoping
For something
else, but--
Hey
I'm feeling quite tired, will.
I think i'll lie down
for a while.
[***]
These fries
look almost fresh.
It's got to be close.
Once we do bag it,
Breaking it from
its junk food habit
Is going to be
a ***.
All right,
these tunnels rejoin
A couple blocks
south of here,
So you take left,
i'll go right.
We'll flush it out
into the open
On the other side.
Sounds like
a plan.
Keep in touch, and remember--
Stun.
no gun.
i got it.
Yeah.
great.
[large steno grunting distantly]
Policy-schmolicy.
Hello.
What are you looking for?
A place that doesn't exist,
apparently.
Tehuatonichen.
Yes.
You're right.
it doesn't exist.
And yet you've heard of it.
Einstein was right.
Matter into energy.
Right, but landing where?
The em field itself.
That's what
the fluctuation means.
That's why i keep seeing
The magnitude and amplitude
of the field increased
At the time of her jump.
Em fields
absorb energy.
She could be somewhere
in the em field's buffer,
Trapped mid-teleport.
In the computer?
Exactly.
That's insane.
Ashley teleported
with another super abnormal.
The fluctuation could be
the em field's buffer
Capturing both signatures
and storing them--
Okay.
Okay, even if she is
In here, somehow,
what are you going to do?
You're going try to
communicate with her?
You going to try
to pull her out somehow?
If we could recreate
her signature effectively,
There may be a way to-to
To what?
There are so many variables
to consider, will,
So many pieces
to this puzzle.
Oh, magnus
One more test.
I run an exponential
wave analysis.
I search the em field
for her particular--
Magnus!
[sighs]
Okay.
Okay.
What next?
[soft rumbling from shadows]
[rumbling]
Come on, junior
[snarling]
Easy, now
Let's take this nice and slow.
[snarling]
Do you want
a piece of me, boy?
Huh?
Do you?
You're a boy, right?
[yelps]
[snarling]
[cries out]
[screams]
[gunfire]
So, it's bigger.
Yeah, and bulletproof!
[steno roars]
Move! move, move!
I thought you said
no guns!
I said
no guns for you.
[yelps]
Oof!
Ow.
Get off of me.
Where the hell are we?
Uh, i don't know.
Looks like your room.
Hey
These are my jeans.
Oh, man.
What?
I think we found
its nest.
[steno snarling]
Okay, we got to
get out of here.
Why didn't it
kill you
In the tunnel
back there?
Henry, it's coming!
Yeah, i know!
just hold on a sec!
I'm going to empty
a mag into it!
No, you are not!
Oh, yeah, i am!
Food, water, shelter
Oh, kate, wait!
[steno snarling]
Henry!
No, no, no!
[yelps, gun blasts]
Ow!
[snarling]
[kate yelps]
[laughs]
What the hell?
[giggling]
Look around you.
What's the first thing it did?
It licked your face,
ate your food,
Stole your clothes.
You were the first
thing it saw.
It thinks you're its mother.
[laughs]
I think it has
your eyes.
[laughing]
Oh, barf.
Get off.
I came to return this to you.
It was given to me
in the amazon.
He was sani,
Our last living shaman,
Spirit leader of our tribe.
I was asked to bring him home.
For 300 years
We've been waiting
for his return.
This means
My ancestors
will be at peace.
We want you
to have this.
It was meant for you.
May it guide you
through dark places
And into the light.
[computer beeps]
You should see this.
I'm truly
sorry, magnus.
Tell everyone
The memorial service
will be tomorrow.
I need to reset
the em field.
[steno grunting]
There's your
rare baby, dr.
li,
Intact
and everything.
You've traumatized it.
It keeps showing its teeth.
To you, not to me.
You're just jealous
Because ralphie chose
me for its mother.
You don't even know
what gender it is.
Does it
really matter?
[sighs]
[speaking mandarin]
Ral-fee
It's got a--
a ring to it.
Ow!
You're growing on him.
[steno snarling and grunting]
Feels good,
doesn't it?
Being a good guy?
Meh.
I got to admit,
You're pretty
good at this.
Back at ya, hank.
So
You going to stick around?
Well, i got to get paid,
don't i?
Right.
Well, a deal's a deal.
One steno set.
Have fun in maui.
Tell you what,
Hang onto them for me.
I'll collect
them later.
See you, baby.
[door opens]
I see you've come
to your senses.
Interesting
turn of phrase.
All my senses tell me
that she's still alive,
Somewhere--
Stop.
Please.
In the end,
what she chose to do
She did as ashley,
Not what they
turned her into.
Yes.
Please take
some solace in that.
I think not.
Are you joining us?
You may have
found closure.
I haven't.
Not yet.
John

We must let go.
I can't.
You have to, mom.
But you're
You're my life.
Without you--
You'll never be
without me,
And i know that you
will always love me.
No matter what.
Ashley!
[whispering]: please
I'm so sorry.
