Previously on "zero hour"...

I am gonna find the true cross

And I'm gonna destroy it.

Come with me.

I'm confident to have the cross in my possession

Within the week.

I've seen things, dad--

A nazi officer with my face.

He looked exactly like me.

I dream about a man with a gun.

The location of the cross must be secret.

I will not put it in the mud.

Don't do this. Please.

I always imagined I'd be buried in a grave on a hilltop.

this is our answer-- the location of the cross.

You look like you've seen a ghost.

I have. That's theo.

That's my husband.

8 is forever a line

Without end.

The worst sort of murder is that of a friend.

commander dietrich was a good man.

We therefore commit his body to the sea,

Looking for the general resurrection

In the last days

And the life of the world to come

Through our lord jesus christ--

At ease! At ease!

It's only st. Elmo's fire.

Electrical phenomena from the storm.

Perhaps it's a sign from above

That we're on the wrong path.

We should move on.

You can't stop a burial mid-rights, sir.

It's bad luck for the dead.

The storm does not afford us much time.

We come to the faroes with a far higher agenda.

This was made in 1938--

No gps, no google maps.

Everything the apostles needed to find the cross

Has to be in here.

And all it's telling us is--

The faroe islands.

The thing about these puzzles is,

There's always enough information.

We've just got to learn how to see it.

It's just an air pocket.

Yeah, I know.

You know, for once I'm not thinking about turbulence.

I keep thinking about the footage of theo.

I see his face,

I know it's him...

But you don't believe it?

I'll believe it when I see it,

When I see him.

Theo, you here?

Oh, are you working? I can come back later.

No, no, no, no. Come here. Come here.

Hi. Mm.

Check this out.

Okay.

This plant

And this plant are exactly the same.

They can replicate on their own.

Vegetative propagation.

It is as old as time...

But it still amazes me.

As you do me.

Where'd that come from?

You remember that conversation

That we had on the way back from laos?

It's all right.

Really.

I've made my peace with it.

If your heart is set on not having a kid...

I'm good with it.

But what if I'm not good with it anymore?

Wait. What?

You're not...

I think--

I-I don't think, I-I know...

I want to have kids.

And now it's plural?

In for a penny.

Oh!

I... You...

You.

You better hold your horses.

You're gonna miss your flight.

Oh.

Moscow is gonna suck right now.

But just think about how good it's gonna be

When you get back.

It's gonna be good.

Five years in the care of the pyrates

Have done interesting stuff to you, molars.

How so?

You were a man of science,

Someone who'd have no interest

In supernatural mumbo jumbos

Like this cross business.

And yet,

The closer we get to finding it

The more alive you become.

Or perhaps it's because you're hoping your wife

Will meet us there and save you.

My hopes died a long time ago.

You made sure of that.

How about now?

She boarded a flight to the faroes

Not six hours ago with hank galliston,

A man who means nothing to you,

But the world to me.

How is it two men

Can be so inextricably linked through time...

Together 75 years ago

In an effort to hide the cross,

And now racing simultaneously

To get it?

Well, you see things I don't.

There's a higher power working.

he hasn't returned any of my calls.

We've raised him too long, loved him too much

To lose him now.

We raised him to have a mind of his own, rose,

To question everything.

Now he's questioning us, as he should.

But if we don't tell him the truth,

He'll keep asking

Until he finds someone who will.

The only thing more dangerous

Than hank finding out who he really is

Is someone else finding out.

All right. I'll talk to him.

We just have to figure out where he is.

Hey, we're on the ground in the faroes. How are you?

fine.

Back in the office.

You're not gonna believe this, but apparently

We publish some sort of magazine. Listen,

We need a lead on where in the islands

The shepherds could have buried the cross.

Can you look in sturm's journals, letters,

Anything that can tie him to this place?

Yeah, and--and check in with your nazi friend.

Yeah, you know what's weird about that?

Weirder than the fact that we have a nazi friend?

Listen, guys, you gotta do this fast.

You're not starting to believe

This end-of-the-world stuff, are you?

Just find me a lead.

Talk to you later.

this is where we split up.

Than look for someone's missing husband.

Okay. Well, thanks, beck.

Hey, I truly hope you find him.

Yeah, I hope you find what you're looking for, too.

We better get inside.

A storm is coming.

Vincent has company in the faroes--

Hank galliston.

The magazine man, "modern skeptic."

Galliston has his wife back, yet still he pursues vincent.

Or perhaps it's something else he seeks.

Progress report, ms. Lynch.

This disappoints me.

The money we've spent,

The efforts we've made on six continents...

How is it we're still not ready?

Today is the day the cross will be found.

Our lord expects us to be prepared.

The code...

His code, is an elusive one.

Figure it out.

Act like the end of the world is tomorrow,

Because it just may be.

It's riley. How far away is the team?

That's too long. Vincent could be gone by--

Sir, I have reason to believe

That there is a hostage on board.

We can't afford--

Look, we can't lose him a--

You son of a bitch.

The submarine's log tells us they moored

50 meters off the coast.

So we look for a shoreline with deep enough waters

To accommodate a submarine's draft.

So they must have chosen the windward side...

With accessible shoreline

To safely unload the cross.

A combination of which there are very few

In the faroes.

"despite the weather,

"we are tasked with carrying on with our part of the mission.

"but sturm is in a different sort of mood now,

"as if he no longer trusts us to undertake this holy mission.

"he's taken a single man

"and begun moving his precious cargo

"a place only a madman would attempt in this storm.

"but such is sturm's heart.

And that his struggle tonight is only between he and god."

holy mary, mother of god,

Pray for us sinners now and the hour of our death.

Hail mary, full of grace, the lord is with thee.

Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

You're scared?

'cause we're close.

How do you know we're close

When you don't even know where we're headed?

Can't you feel it?

Yeah, I'm scared...

Of god, of what they say,

That somehow you and the cross will bring the apocalypse.

And I'm scared of losing you.

I don't believe in a god

That would do that.

But...

You do believe in god?

I believe that there are things beyond our comprehension,

That math and science have proved

That we can't possibly perceive everything that's out there.

Is one of those things a higher power,

A god?

I don't know.

Yeah.

you're here, aren't you?

That depends on where here is.

I wonder if you know why you're really drawn here.

Is it the cross or something more,

Something deep beneath our psyche

That compels us in ways we don't even know?

In my case, what would that be?

To atone for your sins. That's why you come here.

To meet the judgment that you know you deserve.

Sounds like your wheels are coming loose, vincent.

What about a wager then,

That you and I,

Without even trying, end up

At the location of the cross?

And this time, brother,

I kill you.

we really have to stop meeting like this.

People will start talking.

oh, trust me. They already do.

Why is it always about korbin sturm?

I, uh...

I have plenty of information about other nazis, you know?

Oh, yeah?

Sturm's all the nazi we can handle at the moment, thanks.

We're just trying to find out if there's any connection

In his family to the faroe islands.

Oh, not that I know of.

But what I gather,

He arrived there by submarine,

A submarine later lost at sea.

Unh, unh, unh.

Not so fast.

What are you chasing?

It's just for an article

For the magazine.

Well, first you two come sniffing around about sturm,

Then your boss, sturm's shadow,

Double walks through my doors.

If I were a gambling man,

I'd wager something's... Afoot.

Is this a crew photo from the submarine?

U-215, yes.

Arron.

Well, things just took a massive right turn.

Yes, it certainly did.

Why don't you tell me what's really going on here?

we're gonna be pushing off.

Good.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god. Theo, baby.

We have to go. We have to get off.

What are you doing? We need to move.

I, uh...

I can't.

Yes, you can. I'll protect you.

No.

I'm not going with you.

I-I can't go with you, rebecca.

What are you-- what are you talking about?

This is the place I belong now.

No, no, no.

I don't care what they've threatened you with--

I'm telling you it's okay.

It's okay.

I belong here.

Don't say that, baby--

Listen to me, rebecca,

I can't go with you, but you've gotta leave. Wait.

This is the place I belong.

No. No, theo. No!

Somebody!

Help!

Help!

Help me!

Help! Help!

hey!

10 yellows,

3 blue...

5 green.

Got nothing.

What the hell am I looking for?

Something happened down at the harbor.

Beck, are you okay?

theo... He's alive.

They've done something to him.

What are you talking about?

What did you see?

The only thing I saw...

Was a different man where my husband used to be.

So what are we talking about here,

Uh, time travel?

I don't really think we're talking about anything.

There's a fine line between coincidence

And conspiracy.

Now I've shown you mine.

I think it's time you show me yours.

Yeah, you know, as journalists,

We're not so much with the showing.

Have you ever heard of verscharfte vernehmung?

It's german for "enhanced interrogation."

A form of torture that would leave no marks,

And hence save nazi officers

From suspicion of impropriety.

Not that I would endorse such behavior.

Certainly not in front of all these...

Young, very observant people.

What are you hiding?

Mr. Blanks, we appreciate you coming by.

Know that next time we meet,

I will seek payment for my services,

One way or another.

Where did you get these numbers?

I was trying to find a pattern

Inside our little friend here.

I counted the veins, but--

These are the most crucial numbers

In christian numerology.

3 is the number of nails on the cross.

5 is the number of wounds christ sustained.

72 is the number of thorns in the crown.

The design in here is a passionflower.

A passionflower?

A plant with 3 stigma, 5 anthers,

72 radial filaments, and 10 petals.

The shepherds taught us it grew out of the ground

In the exact place christ was crucified,

Which was impossible, because passionflowers

Didn't grow in that part of the world.

It was a miracle.

Hopefully, this is another one.

Arron, you have a location for me?

We got a lot more than that, hank.

Apparently, you're not the only one

With a history twin.

Your buddy vincent, he's got one, too.

Wait. What?

I don't know how, but the commandant

Of sturm's sub, he's a--

He's a dead ringer for him.

What the hell is going on here?

I was hoping you could tell me because...

You, vincent, the cross...

I mean, history is literally repeating itself.

Now sturm and that guy were at sea for a year

Leading up to 1938,

Supposedly doing some kind of naval surveys in the north

Along the coastlines of ireland, the orkneys,

And, get this, the faroe islands,

Where they did extensive land surveys

Of the northernmost tip of the main island.

They were calling it scouts for locations

To hide naval bases.

Yeah. Probably hiding something else.

Listen, e-mail me the surveys as soon as you can.

I can't talk to you.

I answered only to tell you to stop.

We're going after the cross.

I swear to you that the pyrates will never get it.

Because you intend to destroy it?

If it averts the end times, yes.

If it keeps hank alive, yes.

I'm not afraid of you, father.

And why should you be?

I'm just a man.

God is the one you should fear.

I didn't ask for this.

Neither did judas,

And we all know how history has portrayed him.

Don't do this to me, father.

Please.

You know what must be done.

Serve god...

Not man.

You all right?

Yeah, just needed some air.

how are we doing?

Heading out. North end of the island.

What's there?

I don't know.

We gotta follow these maps that arron sent us.

Maybe something marking the ground.

A passionflower?

Not this far north.

They can't grow in this climate.

You saying you don't believe in miracles?

I'm saying that I was married to a man

Who knew a whole lot more about plants than any of us.

And that must be why they needed him.

I'm going with you.

Beck...

Vincent's going to the same place you are, right?

Seems like it.

Well, why don't we get there first?

And this time, I'll be ready for him.

By this holy water,

And by your precious blood,

Wash away all my sins, oh, lord.

You know what st. Teresa of avila said?

"from my long experience, I've learned

There's nothing like holy water to put devils to flight."

Unfortunately, our devils in the faroes

Are still on the ground.

There was an exchange of gunfire,

Bringing a lot of...

Unwanted attention to the ship.

Can't have that, can we?

Perhaps in our good christian reticence,

We've been playing too...

Diplomatically.

Galliston's magazine is here in new york.

And I believe the two reporters who came to see us

Are there.

I'll bring some men.

Actually, I think it's time I got my hands dirty, too.

hello?

rachel. It's hank's father.

Oh. Hi, mr. Galliston.

I need to speak to hank.

He's not answering his cell.

Do you know where I can find him?

I'm sorry. I-I don't.

Look, I know he's upset with us

And I know you're loyal to him,

But I have some very important information

That he's been looking for.

Well, if you want, you can leave a message,

And I'll give it to him if he calls.

Oh, rachel, hank was right about one thing--

You are a terrible liar.

Mr. Galliston,

What is this about?

The more you know, the more danger you'll be in.

Tell him to call me.

Tidal charts from 1938.

The night the submarine was here...

Ultra low tide.

This bay would have been the only place deep enough

With realistic access to the shoreline

To bury the cross.

Then this is it.

on the map here...

There's "passionblomst kapel"?

What does that mean, peace corps girl?

Well, there's one way

A passionflower could survive out here,

And that's if it isn't a flower at all.

Passionflower chapel is a church.

You mind me asking you a personal question, beck?

We're all friends here.

Well, I mean, as much as a bunch of people

Who don't trust each other can be.

You've been along for the ride this whole time.

But, you know, you've never once talked about

What you think's going on...

What you believe.

I mean, do you support what we're doing?

Do you fear it?

I fear this weather.

If you don't want to answer the question, fine. I get it.

No, I'll answer the question

As soon as I figure out what you're trying to find out.

You worried about whose side I'm on?

No, I'm not worried about anything.

I'm just curious why you're not curious.

I don't share my opinion

Because it really doesn't matter.

I know what I believe, I know my faith,

And I also know that I have no business

In trying to sell it to anybody.

Hank!

Hey, ray, you know there's two massive storms

Colliding over the faroes as we speak?

You don't think that there's...

Someone trying to tell us something?

Yeah. Me.

Does that mean you're no longer taking visitors?

Ms. Lynch.

Our interview last week--

I was intrigued why you didn't follow up.

Um, well, uh, you were expansive.

We didn't need anything else.

Uh, if you guys don't mind, we are closed, so...

Bigfoot.

The loch ness monster.

Does "modern skeptic" group the bible in that same category,

Wild yarns that can't be substantiated?

Our policy is just to keep an open mind

And always look for proof.

And what is proof to you?

Is a footprint proof someone larger

And more powerful than you exists?

I'm not sure how you want us to respond to that.

Is that why your boss is in the faroe islands...

looking for proof?

mr. Galliston...

I thought it would be better if we talked in person.

Melanie.

You don't remember me, do you?

Of course not. You were just a young girl.

James.

After all these years.

We all believed that you were dead,

And yet... Here you are, resurrected.

The lord works in mysterious ways.

But it's not the lord's work that you need right now.

It's mine.

I can't go on, sir!

Not now, man!

We're too close.

Get out the ground-penetrating radar.

You murdered me

So you alone could choose where to bury the cross.

I will unearth the secret you held so dear

And bury you in its place.

Hank.

What if...

What if this...

What if this is the end?

It could be a beginning.

We can't live our lives in fear, laila.

How can you not fear?

What if all of this--

The weather, that--that sign out there--

What if all of this is just him telling us to stop?

What happened out there on the road--

That was a sign.

A literal sign--

Made of metal, torn off by the wind.

how do you know that?

I don't think this is the place.

You don't?

Then explain this.

"true cross."

You think they've been here?

You tell me.

No tire tracks.

Door doesn't look like it's been opened in a while.

Either we're still ahead of them...

Or we're looking in the wrong place.

I don't think so.

Mr. Vincent!

I think we got something!

Now you said, according to the manuscript...

It was in a crate

Twice as long as it was high.

If I'm not mistaken,

You're looking at the true cross of christ.

Pious men designed this plan.

They wanted us to get to this moment.

Here we go.

Guess it's time to see the world the way he did.

The soil's almost frozen.

Perhaps that's why he chose this location--

The permafrost.

Would be a way to preserve it.

We're gonna need more than one.

Sure.

Is that...

Let's find the edges.

"cor fidelis"?

It was supposed to be "crux fidelis."

True cross.

"c. Fidelis" didn't mean "true cross."

It meant "true heart."

"here lies the noblest companion

"a man could ever have.

"a man nobler than me,

"that deserves more than what this earth

"and misguided people did to him.

May he be in the kingdom of god forever more."

"I would sacrifice my own soul to make it so."

"may he rest here

In the mariner's grave he always coveted"...

"in this high perch over the sea...

And be in the palm of god's hand for eternity."

Got the hammer?

It's a sign.

Hank.

Don't do this.

You ready?

It must have rotted over time.

The bugs got to it.

nobody move!

Theo!

Unh-unh, lady! You do not talk to him!

Hold on. It's over. Its over. There's nothing there.

It's far from over.

Bring up the bugs.

Now.
