Original subtitles

An arrowhead.

See, Professor Boyd?

You know something about archaeology.

What, is this lucky or something?

Not at all.

Okay.

I'll bury it in our new dig site. See if a student finds it next semester.

What, as a joke?

No.

We can go into the lab and date our finding.

Couldn't you check their work?

Where's the fun in that?

Hey, you made it. I did, hi.

Cameron Brinson, anthropology.

Did you just tell me you're major?

You brought it?

Yeah. Oh, my God, that's hilarious.

And there he is.

Who is that?

Our shovel man.

Our what?

He's here to dig.

Hey, Tom?

Yeah, Professor Russ? Yeah, thank you for joining us. Yeah, no problem.

Hey, how's it going?

Sorry about that.

Cameron is new.

This is Professor Boyd. She'll be documenting our trip.

Mary. John.

Please be careful with that one.

Sure we didn't forget anything?

I think we're good.

Why?

Perfect.

I regret bringing you all in.

Happy to be here, buddy.

How do you know this person?

Tanner?

Undergrad.

Why? Doesn't really seem like the kind of place you'd find a geologist.

Yeah.

Why not?

Farmers, off -the -grid weirdos, sure.

Serial killers?

Definitely.

Um, geologist.

Study the materials, processes, history of the Earth.

You know what a job this is.

Do you want to explain it to me anyway?

How much do you know about Earth sciences?

The basics.

And whatever my ten -year -old needed to make one of those volcanoes.

Oh my God, you have a kid?

Yeah.

Miss Clara.

Jonathan Russ.

As I live and breathe.

It's great to see you, Dana.

Come here.

Wow, we've got quite the expedition here, huh?

Well, come in, come in.

Hello. Welcome.

Thank you. Make yourself at home.

Good evening.

Good evening.

Hi.

Smooth.

Archaeologist? General contractor.

Ah.

Fantastic.

Oh, that's very... Indeed.

You know, that's just down the road from here.

Oh, yeah?

The Devil's Rock.

It was deposited in that position some 12 ,000 years ago.

Really? Uh -huh.

When the ice sheets receded, these giant glaciers started to slide, and they cut

deep into the land.

Who knows what else they exposed?

something burning oh no yeah

no believe it what do you mean by loose cannon

he's embarrassed oh this must be good look

i'm not gonna put your boss on the spot oh he's not my boss

Technically, yeah. All right, so we're at uni, and we're doing this charity

auction thing, right? I don't know how it happened exactly, but Russ was going

to be auctioned off for charity.

You don't want to go out there... You, right?

Right. Hmm, that would be embarrassing.

Anyway, we've been drinking a lot at this point, and by the time the host...

the host.

Auctioneer. That.

Yeah, before he can leave. I just want to find someone to deflower me.

I'm sorry, what?

I said that.

And then I got really sick.

Really sick.

Do those kind of lines work?

in university?

No.

Deep

flower?

All right.

So, I'm thinking we enter the...

Ah, that's Nicky B.

It's not real, is it?

Looks real to me.

So I figured we'd enter the forest around here, just beyond the drumlins at

edge of Rolling Acres Farm.

There's no road.

Correct. It's about a 10K hike.

10?

Ugh.

It's unexploited old -growth forest.

Unexploited? Mm -hmm.

Not even a record of dig permits with the forestry department.

Really?

Mm -hmm.

And you didn't frack out there yet?

Fracking?

Not yet, but I do have a client who's interested.

So it sounds like we should see this place before it's destroyed.

Fracking is safe.

Is it?

Enough.

Can we go back to Heaven's Glen?

No, not again.

I'd like our students to find something.

Letchworth? Oh, that's a state park.

So?

Paperwork.

Not that far, right?

It's not any further than we did for undergrad.

See?

Easy. Hike out, set up a camp site, sing a little campfire ditty, Bob's your

uncle, Fanny's your aunt, you've got a sandbox for the semester.

You might even get published.

Mm -hmm.

It's your call, Professor Russ.

Why do you have this, Tanner?

Fracking.

Resistivita? Mm -mm. Ground Penetrating Radar.

I think we should go.

Same.

Hey, how you doing this morning?

Yep. Hi,

I'm Professor Jonathan Ross.

He's a digging teacher?

He is.

Thank you for letting us have a look on your land.

It's beautiful here.

It is.

Compensated if we find a suitable location for a site next semester.

I'm sorry. Is everything all right?

That van's engine diesel?

Our van?

No.

No, it's not.

Why?

You ready?

Yeah.

Just looks a lot heavier now.

See? It's way too far.

We'll be all right.

Ten miles?

Kilometers. That's less, right?

Yeah. Oh, we got this.

Want to warm up? Go for a jog?

Yeah.

You guys know where you're going out there?

Yes, sir.

All out your trash.

Yeah, of course. Of course.

Respect the land.

Copy that.

Excellent!

Are you back there?

I think so.

Sounded like he was looking for diesel parts.

Yeah, I guess.

Loosen up, Rusty.

This is going to be fantastic.

Hey. Hi.

I love the sound of film.

It's digital.

Oh, I thought I heard a mechanical shutter.

You can actually turn the sound off, but I like it.

Yeah, sounds like a memory.

Last time I was out in the woods like this, I was hunting.

Oh, yeah?

Different energy now.

Yeah, I bet.

What's that, GPS?

That's right. I'm geotagging our trip.

Oh, yeah.

My daughter pins everywhere we go on my phone.

Says it'll help us find our way home sounds like you have a future

Yeah Hey

Tom

Yep.

Is this it?

What?

No.

Bottle cap?

That's fine.

Hey, you should hang on to that.

It's literally garbage.

Then everything that's left behind garbage eventually.

Yeah, I guess you could say that.

Pretty out here. I'll give you that.

Respect the land.

Pardon?

Something that farmer said to me.

Wonder what his message will be when the natural gas companies come a -frackin'.

Thank you?

Well, natural gas companies offer significantly larger paychecks than the

archaeology department.

How are you so okay with pumping the earth full of chemicals?

Well, between global warming, ozone layer, not big of things to worry about.

Anyone bring sunscreen?

Huh.

What have you got?

I don't know, um...

Horse or maybe an ox shoe?

Yeah, you know.

I think you're right.

First dig, I presume?

Why?

Am I using a shovel wrong?

Archaeological dig.

Is that what this is?

Allegedly, yeah.

What's up?

Cameron found an ox shoe.

Oh. Is that good?

It's certainly old.

Is this how you finally get tenured, Rusty?

Yeah.

Maybe. And are you an expert in any other pieces of animal footwear, or is

just ox?

Can you hold your hand?

Cameron, do we have a bag for this?

Hey, Cameron.

Can we bag this?

Yeah.

Seems too corroded to be modern.

Let's get it tested next week.

Oxen Shoes of the Genesee Valley, an abridged history, part one by Jonathan

Rust.

This way?

It's working title, so... Yes?

Keep walking

Looks like a chisel.

Tap's all banged up.

You know, I think you're right.

How far have we gone?

Five, maybe six. 4 .51 miles.

But who's counting?

Shall we?

Professor Boyd?

Are you still interested in ground -penetrating radar?

Does it mean a break from hiking?

It does.

Yes, please.

Hey, Tom.

Yeah? Can I borrow that shovel?

Sit. Slow and steady.

I'm a natural.

Yeah, you're doing great.

Whoa. Did I break something?

No.

We're good.

What is it?

Not sure.

This is the surface here, and we're reading 40, maybe 50 feet deep.

Weird.

What's weird?

We've got voids here, here, all of this.

We're on top of something.

Well, this doesn't look natural.

These lines are perpendicular to the surface.

Yeah, that's right.

Very good.

What are we looking at?

These shapes appear to be solid.

Well?

I think we should get to work.

Natural?

No.

Prehistoric? No.

All right, then.

What kind of archaeologist are you, Professor Boyd? A geographer.

Cartography and digital imaging.

Ah, so Rusty's getting other departments involved in this whole thing.

Wait.

No.

You've seen alternative sciences, I take it? Stop it.

A fan of speculative history television?

Oh, all sorts of trash television.

I was one of the talking heads, the so -called experts, and this... Ah.

thing became my catchphrase as it were ah my god yes we used to have it on in

the lab all the time yeah watching intently i'm sure oh yeah definitely ah

trans -dimensional being has been here before ah ancient

architects terraforming the planet what will we discover next

What shall we call this?

Admittedly, it's not the scale, but I think Stonehenge 2 feels appropriate

Huh?

Oh, yeah.

I am going to go and get more... stones.

You say something dumb?

Oh, no.

Well, yeah, but I'm not, like, uncomfortable or anything.

I know.

But if you say something stupid, I can use a laugh.

Sorry. You all right?

Sore.

Old.

You ever try yoga?

Yeah. Yoga, Pilates.

I've gotten down with all of that.

Does it work?

No complaining about it.

Hey, camera.

Do you hear that?

A what?

A voice.

Hello.

Hi.

Where are you going?

Whatever you're looking for.

They're going to be here tomorrow.

Uh -huh.

Doesn't make any sense.

What's that?

You can't pin a signal here.

It's all over the place.

Eh.

Strange.

So much interference.

It almost sounds like there's an echo.

Have you considered that you have no idea what you're doing?

Of course I have.

Look, it's going to be kind of a pain in the ass to set your tent up in the

dark, so... You want to, uh... Ah.

Well.

Yes.

I mean, you look ridiculous.

All right, let's have a look.

Oh.

Did you find Jesus?

Looks hand -forged.

Probably let... Notice the indentation?

No, I didn't.

Shame you couldn't wait until morning to dig it up so we could actually see

something.

Well, it is kind of cross -shaped, I guess.

Kind of cross -shaped?

What else could it be?

A lower case T.

Either way, it's certainly old.

Huh?

Oh, yeah.

We're going to find things.

All those hits on the GPI will cost me nothing.

Unless the equipment's faulty.

Or user error.

You wound me.

Voids.

Hmm?

You saw the scan. They're everywhere.

Sunken foundations, maybe.

Stash houses for trappers. Something impermanent they moved on from.

Ah, it could be the Knights Templar. Hiding the Ark of the Covenant in

New York.

You knew it, too.

Of course.

Been waiting on that alternate scientist moment.

Well, the world is a fantastic place.

Anything is possible.

But do you mean anything?

Anything?

Anything?

That's a lot to think about, man.

Parallel dimensions.

Aliens.

That's some heavy stuff.

Well, there are those that think our ancestors only used the word gods

they didn't have a word for aliens.

That's absurd.

Is it?

Canadians.

I'm sorry?

It's Canadian.

They probably spelled out thank you in little letters.

The rest are out there.

Somewhere.

Well, all right.

Oh. Thank you.

Bee, huh?

Yeah.

Cameron.

Can we schedule an EDS scan next week?

Cameron?

Did you hear me?

Can we schedule an EDS scan next week?

For what?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, no problem.

You need a good night's sleep.

Yeah.

Don't I know it.

Did you see her last night?

Not after I went to bed, no.

Nothing? I wasn't keeping watch.

I was sleeping.

She's probably just, you know, going to the bathroom,

being discreet.

I can appreciate that.

It's okay.

How long would that take?

Five minutes?

We've both peed before.

She'll probably be back any minute.

Yeah.

Cameron?

Hey, Cameron!

Professor Rust?

Tom?

Professor Boyd?

Tanner?

Good morning.

Hi.

Relax.

You are in a remarkable place.

The veil is thin here.

Can you feel it?

Um... I should be heading back to my camp now.

Jonathan. Beth, there's no need to panic yet.

We lost a student. Yeah, she's not an idiot. Cameron!

She's gonna be fine. I'm not about to wait around and find out.

Apparently not.

You can go back.

Hey, I've been helping. Cameron!

Would you be this worried if Tanner wandered off?

That's different.

Is it?

Yes. He spent... Yeah, there it is.

He spent the most time wandering forests.

So no, I wouldn't be this worried about Tanner.

Camera!

What is that?

Piece of cloth.

Sock, maybe.

Shit.

Well, that's something.

She's probably back at camp.

Sleeping.

Having breakfast.

Could use a coffee.

Hey, Tom. Yeah?

Wow.

Hmm.

It's odd, isn't it?

Did you know this was out here?

Is this some sort of thing?

Yeah, this is indeed some sort of thing.

You know what I mean.

Lost church or something.

It's always religious, isn't it?

Now this is this is unexpected

Well, I'll be.

What?

These patterns, they're... Markable. How would you even cut these?

Listen.

Do you hear that?

You know what kind of rocks these are?

No.

Normally I'd assume granite, but I'm not so sure.

I've never seen granite do this.

What was that?

I have no idea.

Are you concerned yet?

Hey, I've been concerned. Then help me find her, goddammit! Jonathan, pull

yourself together.

Listen, I'm... I don't want to hear it.

Mary. Come on, let's find your TA.

Tom? Tom?

Hey, Tom, you there, man?

Hey.

Oh, there you are.

Tom?

Yep, exactly.

Still?

Yeah, you're still... you're still Tom.

Okay.

Okay, why don't you, uh...

Why don't you sit down? You gave me a bit of a scare there.

Where did you go?

Nowhere.

You were gone.

I was alone.

No, I... Take it easy.

It's out of place.

All of it.

I'm sorry?

We're all going home now.

What did you say?

You should never come to this forest.

Hey, Tom.

Tom, where are you going?

Cam. What about Cameron?

She'll be gone soon.

How could you possibly know that?

Well, I'll be gone soon.

Tom, wait up!

How could you possibly know that?

The struggle is pointless.

Just leave me alone.

I'm here to help you.

I'll be fine.

I can find my way.

You're making this harder than it needs to be, Cameron.

How do you know my name?

Who are you?

There you are.

Hello, dear.

You really should be wearing this.

Is it not magnificent?

Yeah, I suppose it is.

The dirge.

Uh -huh.

It calls us home.

You feeling all right?

Do you hear it?

The home.

Yeah.

Go on then.

I was like you once.

Afraid. Fleeting.

You don't know anything about me.

You're human.

I know enough.

Hey, we'll be back soon. I found him.

Okay, great.

Hey, bud.

What are you doing?

Steven. Steven, is everything all right?

Yeah.

You came here to hunt,

right?

You don't need to suffer.

This can be graceful.

Nothing about this is graceful.

The impermanence can be overwhelming.

Here, we are not lost.

Just forever.

In your lungs.

In your skull.

Home.

Hey.

Sure you don't want coffee?

No.

Water?

Something to eat?

Hey. No.

Shit.

Did you hear that?

Yeah.

So, um... Tom's had a bit of an episode.

Is he all right?

I don't think it's life -threatening.

We found something.

Something?

Stone.

Monument.

Monument.

I think it was stone.

You don't know what it was?

No, I don't.

Honestly, I've never seen anything like it before.

Hey, are you with us?

I think we should get him back.

I'm fine.

Not you.

Tom's not well, mate.

He seems okay.

I don't think so.

He was gone. I was here.

But it was different.

We're on one frequency.

But there's more.

You have service?

No. No, me neither.

Jonathan, we should get help.

Okay. Did you hear me?

Yeah. Sounds good.

I'm going to start packing.

All right. We should get going.

She'll be coming back soon.

Hey.

We'll all be laughing about this later.

Jonathan.

What are you doing?

Are you serious?

We're heading back.

We've got to report this.

Plus, Tom.

All right, yeah.

Take him back.

Where are you going, dickhead? I'm not leaving Cameron out here.

Waiting is time.

Fucking knob.

What makes you say that?

You know, it's best if you don't get him started.

Tom, what makes you say that?

Do you really think Cameron's lost?

Well, she isn't here.

Does it feel like she's okay?

Exactly.

Neither of you cats try reasoning with him.

Not really.

Tanner, can you stand?

No, no, no, no.

Did you bring a first aid kit?

Yeah.

Tanner,

I'm going to take a look at your leg, okay?

Okay, sorry, sorry, sorry. Help.

God, your bat's like man of shit.

Would you rather I lie to you?

Yeah, kinda.

Oh, Jesus.

Is that bone?

Put it back in.

What? Push it back in.

Are you

ready?

Uh -huh, uh -huh. Do you know what you're doing?

Setting your fibula?

That's not helping. One.

Two.

You said Cameron was gone?

Yes.

Where, exactly?

I'll stay here with him.

Sarah, I'm back. It's going to take twice as long, and that's before we get

Tanner out of here.

He's not walking on that leg. Well, no.

You'd rather what? Carry him out?

Is that an option?

I don't think so.

I hate this forest.

Please, go get help.

So what do you want to do now?

freestanding? Yeah.

Stone.

It wasn't like any stone I ever seen.

It felt alive.

Alive? It was thinking.

Mm -hmm.

You know how I sound.

Thinking stone.

I mean...

The world is an old place. We'll never understand everything.

Anything is possible.

Exactly.

Hey, Tom.

You alright?

Maybe we leave the knife.

Tom?

You're making me nervous.

Don't be.

Can you put the knife down?

Drop the knife.

The what?

Thank you.

You got me?

Comfortable? Yeah.

Much better.

Wish I thought of it earlier.

You hungry?

I am.

I have some granola.

Questionable banana.

Hey, man, are you okay?

What's going on?

Cameron.

Professor Rust.

He scared the shit out of me.

Where were you?

It's not her, mate.

What do you mean it's not her?

It can't be.

Clearly it...

It isn't Cameron.

I saw her.

That doesn't mean she was there.

That's exactly what it means.

We saw a manifestation of her spirit, perhaps.

A ghost?

A ghost?

Some sort of phantasm? A shared hallucination?

Maybe Tom was right.

Maybe she's gone elsewhere.

And where is that?

Another plane of existence.

The afterlife.

When did you become such an idiot?

Hey. He had an episode.

Day laborers don't get psych evaluations before the university hands them a

shovel.

All right, let's assume that Tom has lost his marbles.

What happened just now?

I... She was right there.

Then... She was gone. What do you want me to do?

Listen. She is... He wanted to sing a little campfire, did he?

What? Oh, Danny boy!

The pipes, the pipes are calling!

From glade to glade and down the mountainside!

Is that helping? I don't know!

Cameron is gone.

Rusty! Rusty!

Where are you going?

You're not really here.

Only as much as you are.

Well, that tracks.

What now?

Tom?

What's going on?

There's a woman.

Standing on the water.

Excuse me?

There's no one there, Tom.

Yeah.

I thought you'd say that.

Come on.

Let's keep going.

What is it?

I don't know.

Let's get you home. What did you say?

Let's get you home.

Why would you say that?

Because that's where we're going. Let's get you out of here.

Can you keep going?

It's fine.

I don't mind.

Professor Rust?

Well, you need more to do. The department is looking for a liaison

to deal... In the field.

Publish or perish.

You don't need to be worrying about that just yet.

Yeah. I do.

Three days.

Unpaid.

Schlepping equipment in the woods, sifting through the spoils.

Archaeology?

Yeah, I guess.

You have work to do, Jonathan.

Excuse me?

I can TA the fieldwork lab.

The university certainly isn't above unpaid labor.

Obviously.

Please?

Professor Rust.

We were looking for you.

Where have you been?

Are you okay?

Here.

Only untethered from suffering.

Good.

That's good.

Let go, Jonathan.

This is wonderful.

The forest?

Here, existence is eternal.

Does that sound right?

Untethered from suffering.

You know, I'm starting to... You know,

I'm starting to think you should consider other locations next time I'm

there.

Just try to make yourself comfortable.

It'll be over soon.

Oh, yeah.

Grand.

Do you want to get airlifted out of here?

No.

Well, at least you're honest.

What's funny?

All of this.

You're unwell.

Yes.

Suffering?

No shit.

It's temporary.

Oh, sure.

The discoveries, those are forever, aren't they, Professor?

They can be.

Out here?

Lay off it.

We are an invasive species of hairless ape.

Let's not read too much into the shit we leave behind.

You okay?

I know this has not gone exactly as planned.

I hope I'm not going to have a limp.

You won't.

I do think I could pull off a cane.

Yeah.

A proper pimp's cane, you know.

Excuse me! Hey!

We need help!

Great.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it

is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

Find what you were looking for?

No.

Figures.

Nothing good comes from out of there.

Hello?

Come on, no.

Hello?

Yes, sorry.

One minute. What's your address?

Hey, where do you think he's gone?

goddamn minute.

Tom?

Tom, come on. We're getting help. It's going to be okay.

It's too late for that.

What are you talking about?

Sounds like a memory.

Please, Tom, put the gun down.

I'm sorry.

Had you been concerned with the deceased?

Was he acting unusual in any way?

Ma 'am?

Yes.

Very unusual.

He was seeing things.

Hallucinations?

I think so.

And how are you doing?

understandable we're gonna start sweeping the forest get you home once we

wrap everything up here and ma 'am can you take us through

that field

we're close

great

Hello? Jonathan?

Hannah?

Jonathan?

We're happy you returned.

Where's Tanner?

I thought you said he hurt his leg.

Huh?

He did.

Eugene?

Roger. Yeah, we got a 1054 out at Rolling Acres Farm.

Yeah, we're in the woods a ways out.

We're going to need you.

Mm -hmm.

Right away.

Hey, Jonathan.

Hello.

What happened here?

Mercy.

Where's Tanner?

Thank you for coming back.

You've done a lot of walking.

I have.

You must be exhausted.

There is bliss after the suffering, Professor

Boyd.

Where's Tanner?

is the humane way forward.

The police are going to want to ask you questions, Jonathan.

I don't think you should tell them that.

Ma 'am?

Huh?

You all right?

Sorry, he's... Who?

Sorry.

It's been a long day.

Not very lucky What's that?

It's nothing

Thank you.

Thank you.
