All language subtitles for Touch - 2x09 - Clockwork

Previously on Touch:

I just found Ruben and
the girl he was with dead
in the control room.
Dead?

Their throats were slit.

AVRAM: God will allow humankind
to exist

as along at there are 36
righteous people

in the world.

These hidden 36,
no one knows who they are.

Aster Corps is one of the most

powerful corporations in the
world, and I think they'll

stop at nothing to destroy
anyone who gets in their way.

Obviously, this has something
to do with Teller.

CALVIN:
There was another lab,
years earlier.

MARTIN:
So they took Amelia back
to where it began.

I hope you find her.

I shouldn't even have
to be looking for her.

She's in there?

Yeah.

Amelia?

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Aster Corps is gonna use that
time and all of their resources

to try and find you
and your daughter.

I want you to disappear.

Give this to your dad.

He'll know what to do.

Oh, my God.

Run! Run as fast as you can,
okay?! Run!

Where's the girl?

(gunshot echoes)

(birds chirping)

(clock ticking)

JAKE:
Physicists will tell you that
time does not exist,

that it is a human construct
used to organize experience

and catalog existence

so we can quantify it,
confirm it, remember it.

Einstein did not believe
in time.

He believed in timelessness;

that all of time existed
at once:

past, present, future.

He did not acknowledge
the concept of "now."

(clock ticking)

All moments are equally real
and equally accessible,

if we know how.

(typing)

(sighs)
Nothing.

Hey, buddy. You hungry?
I got your cereal out.

We got a lot
to do today.

Jake, I know you want me
to find this man.

I just don't have
a lot to go on.

I'll do the best
I can, okay?

(knocking on door)

Oh, my God.

Avram, what are you
doing here?

I came to see you, Martin Bohm,
and my good friend.

Please, come in.

Thank you.

Hello, Jake.

How are you?

Avram, please, sit.

You are both well, I hope.

A lot of terrible things
have happened

over the last few days.

We managed to get Amelia
back with her mother.

And Jake and I are fine.

I know about the killings
at your workplace.

And I know that the man
that I met in New York,

Guillermo Ortiz,
committed those murders.

You were right.
He was coming after Jake.

Yes. I came here
to help you keep him safe.

MARTIN:
I can use all the help
I can get. Thank you.

Where is Amelia
and her mother?

I asked Lucy to take
her daughter

and disappear for a while.
Hide, spend some time with her.

They'll be back
soon enough.

"948."
What is it?

Jake gave this to me.

It's a man he
wants me to find.

It looks like he was
Dr. Teller's first patient.

I don't have anything
other than that.

Why are you still sitting here?
Go find him.

I was waiting for
Jake to wake up.

BreakWire has some
facial recognition software.

I think they might
be able to help.

He's awake. I'm here. Go.

It's good to see you, Avram.
Thank you.

I'll see you soon.

(phone ringing)

Trevor?

Where is everybody?

Martin...

um, they're gone.

And the few who agreed
to keep working

are handling the funeral
arrangements for those

that we lost.
I'm just trying

to keep everything afloat
using my cell phone.

I can't let this place die,
Martin.

Trevor, I'm so sorry.

How can I help?
I'll do anything.

Look, I have a breaking story.

Fill me in.

Phillip Green.

California's decided
to execute

the first death row inmate
in seven years.

A triple murderer, tried
and convicted 15 years ago.

He's set to die tonight.

Oh, my God.

What is it?

This is the man
they're gonna execute?

Yeah, that's
Phillip Green.

Jake gave that to me yesterday.
Asked me to find that man.

Phillip Green.

MARTIN:
Okay, we got three murders
committed during a robbery.

He worked at an
antique shop.

He went back after hours
to clean the place out,

and he saw the passersby,

and he gunned them
down in cold blood.

Any witnesses
to the murders?

Nope.

Any chance
he's innocent?

He's been appealing
for ten years.

I'm gonna need
to talk to him.

Green's not talking,
but if you're officially
covering the story

for BreakWire, I could
get you in to see his
attorney for a few minutes.

He's camped out
at the prison,

giving interviews,
hoping the press will

pressure the governor
into stopping the execution.

Okay, set it up.
I'll take care of it from here.

You get back to work
with your people.

Sounds good.

Hey, Max, come here, buddy.

I need you.

(makes whooshing sound)

I'm the Amazing Max
and you're Super Dad,

and we can fly.

That's fantastic.
Fly on over here, buddy.

I need to see...

(phone ringing)
if I need to drill more holes

or if you can reach
all this or not.

(ringing continues)
I can't reach that.

Oh, you can reach that.
Come on.

You're amazing, remember?
All right, go fly.

Fly away.

Mike?
Yeah?

It's for you.

Thanks.

Hello.

Yeah, we're still on.

Yeah, I'll be ready.

Right.

So you're gonna go
through with it?

Honey, I have to go
through with this.
No, you don't.

I have to, Jenny, you don't
understand this.
Please.

Please, just don't
do this right now.

Mike, this isn't who you are.
This isn't who we are.

It's not something
I can just explain to you.

This is something
I need to do, okay?

MAX:
Ow! My finger!

Sweetie, let me see.
What happened?

It hurts!
Let me see.

I'm sure
it's not that bad, buddy.

Oh, it's just
a splinter, sweetie.

It's okay.
We can get it out.

Let's go get
the tweezers.

Come on. Careful.
Oh, careful.

Hop down.

All right.
Can you take
this, please?

MARTIN:
Thank you.

Martin Bishop
from BreakWire.

Ben Miller, attorney
for Phillip Green.

I see you made it
through the gauntlet

of ghouls and looky-loos.

Thank you for moving me
up to the front.

Look, I'm in need of
legitimate press

to get the
governor's attention.

So, let's just
get started.

Actually, I need to see
your client.

He doesn't do interviews.

It's not exactly
an interview.

Look, I want
to help him, okay?

But I need to speak
with him first.

Green has not spoken a word

since the night he was
arrested over a decade ago.

So you talking to him
isn't gonna do you any good.

I think it will.
I was sent here because...

Wait. Sent here by who?

My son.

And we're done.

Please, I'm not crazy.
Just hear me out.

I don't have time
to waste on the visions

and the voices in
your head, okay?

I am trying to save
a man's life!

I know about
the Teller Institute.

I've been to the facility where
your client was being held.

I know they conducted
experiments on him,

and I'm pretty
certain I know why.

None of that ever made it
into evidence.

I'm not surprised.
Aster Corps has a way

of manipulating the legal system
to their advantage.

Aster Corps? The company that
built the facility.

The same company that funded
Dr. Teller's research.

Look, I think something went

terribly, terribly wrong
out there.

And I think all of this is Aster
Corps' effort to cover it up.

I know this sounds crazy,
but I was sent here
to help your client.

And I think
Mr. Green will know that

if you just let me see him.

Please.

Please, what have you got
to lose?

(clock ticking)

King pawn to E-four.

Very shrewd, Jake Bohm,
very shrewd indeed.

You see what I did there?

I chose to pressure
your queen pawn,

which I am certain
that you will

recognize as
the French Defense.

I, too, can be shrewd.

Your move, my boy.

(clock ticking)

(breathing quickly)

The clock?

What of it?

Are we late for something?

What are you doing, my boy?

Thank you.

Mr. Green, my name
is Martin Bishop.

I-I want to try
and help you.

I know about the institute
that you were held at,

the Teller Institute.

My son worked with Dr. Teller
before he died.

Were you aware
that Dr. Teller had died?

My son sees things in
numbers and patterns

and makes human connections
that the rest of us can't,

and I think you can
see things, too.

Mr. Green,

are you one of the 36?

My son sent me
here to help you.

I don't know how yet.

Am I supposed to
help find evidence

to prove your innocence?

Or maybe you want to
tell me about something

that happened
at the institute

that allowed all
of this to happen.

I-I just need you to
know that I'm here to help,

and if there's anything
that you need,

I will do it.

Who is this?

Who is this?

That's his daughter.

They've been estranged
since he was convicted.

Do you know
where she is?

I have an address.

She had to sign some papers
a while back,

but she doesn't want
to have any contact.

She even changed her name.

Mr. Green,
is this what you want me to do?

Do you want me to bring
your daughter here?

Okay.

Then that's where we'll start.

Can I help you?

I'm looking for Dr. Kate Gordon.

That's me.

Hi, I'm Martin Bishop.

I really need to talk with you,

but it's kind of personal.

Well, I've got about ten minutes
before my next client.

That would be great.

Come on in.
Thank you.

You work with children?

Yeah, I'm a family therapist,

but I specialize
in early childhood trauma.

Behavioral issues,

children who are
disturbed, nonverbal.

Really?

My son's nonverbal.

Is that why you're here?

Not exactly.

I'm here because I want to talk
to you about your father.

(whispering):
What?

Please leave.

Look, please.

I don't want to upset you,

but I just came from the prison.
I was visiting

with your father.
Obviously, I didn't get

to talk to him,

but he showed me
this photo of you

when you were
14 years old.

He was holding onto it
for dear life,

like it was the most
important thing in the world.

I just thought you should know

that he would really like
to see you.

No.

Look, I don't know how much
you know about him,

but I believe he's part of
a very special group of people.

My son is one of them.

They can see things
in patterns and numbers.

But you already know that,
don't you?

My father had a gift
for interpreting

numbers and symbols.

He could see a foreign language,
an ancient language,

and he could translate it,

decode it, just by
looking at the patterns

of the letters and symbols.

He was taken away
to a research facility

to be studied.
That would be
the Teller Institute.

He was gone for months,
and when he returned,

he robbed a store
and he killed three people.

You see, I think there's more
to that story.

Like what?

I think something happened
to your father at the institute.

I-I think he might even
be innocent,

and I think you're the key
to proving that.

My father is guilty.

When he was arrested,
I asked him,

"Did you kill those people?"
and he said yes.

I asked him why.

I pleaded with him
to explain it to me.

This was not the father
that I knew,

but he never said another word.

Not to me, not to anyone.

He went off to jail,

left me in the care of an
aunt that I barely knew.

He refused to let me visit him.

Do you have any idea
how many times

I was turned away
from that prison?

No.

No, if he had a reason

for doing what he did,

I would be happy
to hear it,

but otherwise,

please leave.

And do not contact me again.

I-I'm sorry to
have bothered you.

(door opens, closes)

Clock making has been around
since the early 1300s.

In fact, early clock makers

were considered
master craftsmen.

I trust you plan

on putting this back
together again, young Jake,

or we shall have to
retain the services

of just such a craftsperson.

That was a joke.

One, two, three, four,

five, six gears in six piles.

That's 36, my boy.

Very interesting number.

Very interesting,
indeed.

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Avram, it's Martin.

I was just calling in
to check on Jake.

How's he doing?

(chuckles)
He's fine.

He's fascinated
by your wall clock,

and I'm fascinated by him.

Did you find the man
you were looking for?

Yes, and I think
he's one of the 36.

Is that right?

He's also on death row.

He's gonna be executed tonight

unless I can stop it.

And how will you?

I'm not sure yet.

His daughter seems
to be the key,

but right now she doesn't want

to have anything to do with him.

Yes, yes,

disappointment can-can look
much like hatred.

Does she believe
that he is innocent?
No, not at all.

Then you will have
to convince her

that he is worth saving.

Maybe then she'll use
whatever key she has

to do just that.

Martin,

if this man
is really one of the 36,

then you must save him.

I know.

I'll check back with you
in a while.

Hey.

How's the finger?

(chuckles)
Nothing a Band-Aid

and some cartoons couldn't fix.

Oh, thanks.

I made a decision, Jenny.

I know that you think
that doing this

is gonna make you feel
better, but it won't.

And it won't bring
your father back.

Balance the scales a little,
maybe get some justice.

No, it'll change you.

It'll change us.

We have come so far
since we lost your father.

We didn't lose him.

He was murdered for
a car, you know?

A car our son was sitting
in when his grandfather was
shot right in front of him.

And the guy who did this,

who traumatized our boy,
traumatized our boy,

killed my dad, he's out there.
You know, he's just out there.

He's walking free; he's
living his life, honey.

We can't focus on him.
He's living his life.

We can't focus on him.
I can't focus on anything else.

That's it.

At least tonight,
somebody's gonna pay for it.

Oh, you can't even see
how wrong that is.

That man had nothing

to do with your father's death.

He killed someone,
didn't he?

Yeah.

Think about Max.

The nightmares have stopped;
he's not talking about killers

all the time anymore.
Max will be fine, baby.

He's okay.
Max thinks you're a superhero.

What is gonna happen
when he finds out

that you killed someone?
How is he gonna find out?

He's not gonna find out.

You're gonna be changed.

He'll know you're different.

Will this never be over?

It'll be over tonight.

Okay?

It's gonna be over
tonight, all right?

(sobs):
No.

(phone rings)

BreakWire.

Trevor, it's Martin.

Look, I'm just leaving
the prison.

A few things aren't adding up.

Phillip Green actually worked
at the antique store

that was allegedly robbed.

He was a watch repairman.

$20,000 high-end Rolexes
and the like.

And then I found sworn testimony

from the store owner,
Lee Zedner.

He said that nothing
was actually stolen.

So why would three bystanders
get involved in a robbery

that doesn't even look like
it was happening?

I mean, who were these guys?

Were they off-duty cops?
Security guards?

Do you have any background

on the victims?

Hold on.

Hmm, looks like all three of
them work for the same company.

Shipping company-- Mobius.

What did you just say?

Mobius-- ring any bells?

Mobius is a division
of Aster Corps.

So Phillip Green randomly
shot and killed

three Aster Corps employees?

There's nothing random about it.

Where's the antique store?

(quietly):
948.

I'm sorry?

948-- it's a number
that my son...

Never mind.
Mr. Zedner?

Call me Lee.

Martin Bishop
from BreakWire.
Oh.

Thank you
for making the time.

Of course.
I figured there'd be

some interest
in this place today.

Frankly it's been
pretty quiet.

I guess the big story's up
the road at the penitentiary.

I'm trying to stop
what's happening up there

at the penitentiary,
maybe you can help me.

I would love to see Phillip
live through the night.

Never made any sense
to me that he did this.

What do you remember from
the night of the murders?

(sighs)

Please.

(groans)
I, uh, I closed up 6:00,

like always.

Phillip left when I did.

Around midnight, the
police woke me up

saying the place had
been burglarized,

three people were dead.
I came right down.

They told me that

Phillip had been arrested
at his house

with the murder weapon,
I-I couldn't believe it.

You testified...

that he didn't take anything
from the store.

Nothing was taken
that belonged to the store.

What does that mean?

(sighs)

Phillip liked to build machines.

Intricate little
metal things.

He asked if he could store a box
of them in the safe.

I told him, "Phillip, a store
full of Rolexes and antiques,

no one was gonna bother
with his homemade machines."

He insisted.

Cops found the box at his house.

That's what he
took that night.

What kind of machines?

Well, uh, I got
them right here.

He, uh, he built

the stuff out of spare
parts from my shop.

Some of my tools are in here.

Just don't make sense.

Why would Phillip kill three
people to take something

that already belonged to him?

You're right,
it doesn't make sense.

(dishes clinking)

(car horn honking)

Everything
all right?

Yeah, it's fine.

Hey, guys.

Have you made progress
in your search?

I think so.
Phillip Green

was trying to protect
what was inside that box.

The men he killed worked
for Aster Corps.

They tried to take it from
him, he did what he thought

he had to, to protect it,

keep it safe.

What is that you're building?

Is that a cipher?

What's a cipher?

A cipher, an algorithmic tool
for performing encryption.

The wheels have

numbers and symbols
engraved on them.

I don't know how this
particular cipher works,

but they're used
for sending

and interpreting messages.

But the question is
what kind of message

is important enough to kill for?

I don't know but I think
I know who does.

Dr. Gordon?

Thank you for seeing me again.

Yeah.

You and your father?

You know, I...

I used to play piano and...

(laughs)

My first recital, my
father was so proud

that he clapped so loud
and he screamed out

that he loved me.

It was horrifying I, um,

I told him that he wasn't
allowed to come to any more

recitals or plays
or anything in public

and he, uh...

he begged me not to ban him.

He promised that he would
keep his enthusiasm to himself.

And after that,
he'd sit quietly

in the corner, and when I'd
come onstage, he would just...

(chuckles)
hold up three fingers.

That was his...

symbol for "I love you."

I... love... you.

(Kate sighs)

He's just... He's not...

he's not the man
I thought he was.

I think he is.

And at the very least,

he is not a cold-blooded killer.

But he pushed me away.

My whole life,

it was just me and him,
and then he...

I would have stood by him.

I would've done everything
I could've done to help him.

But he wouldn't talk to me.

He would not even look at me.

Your father may have
emotionally shut down

because of the horror

of what he did,
but-but I think

that he was trying
to protect you.

From what?

A company called Aster Corps.

The men your father killed

were not innocent bystanders--
they worked for Aster Corps.

This is the same company
that was conducting tests

on your father.
These people are ruthless.

I think he thought
if he told you anything

that they would come after you.

Wait.

You're saying that my father
knew the men that he killed?

Yes.

They were trying to take
something from him.

What?

Do you know what this is?

(chuckles)

Oh, my...

That was his.

He worked on this thing
for years.

He made every marking,
every wheel.

When I asked him what it was,
he made up this story,

a kid's story.
He said

that it was a road map
to finding 36

magical people who
could save the world.

(sniffles)
One of the...

the gears is missing.

Uh, the main one,
the-the key.

Where does it go?
Uh...

right here.
Won't work without it.

If you're planning on saving
the world, you're gonna need it.

Look, I-I know
this sounds crazy,

but I know about the 36--
my son is one of them,

and I think
that your father is, too.

I think he invented
this machine

so he could find the others,
communicate with them

somehow.
Uh... Okay, I'm sorry, but...

y-you-you really believe
that there are 36 people who can

save the world?

I didn't at first.

I mean, I was like you. I was...

skeptical. I laughed at it.

But the truth is
I've seen too much.

So, yes, I do believe that there
are 36 people whose sole purpose

is to maintain
the balance of our planet.

I-I think that your father
killed those men

in an effort to protect
the others.

I think he led me to you

because you're the key
to saving his life.

And I believe that he loves you
more than anything in the world.

But that doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters
right now is what you believe.

(buzzer sounds,
door creaks open)

It's time.

(buzzer sounds)

(knocks on glass)
Mr. Miller. Phone.

Thank you.

This is Ben Miller.

Ben, it's Martin.
We're on our way to the prison.

Dr. Gordon's with me.

They're taking him
to be prepped right now.

Where do you stand
on the appeals?

All denied.

There's nothing else
that we can do.

Our only chance is the governor.

Okay, please,

j-just let Mr. Green know

his daughter is on her way.

Hurry.
Yeah. Thanks.

AVRAM:
Nine-four-eight.

Nine-four-eight.

What does that mean, my boy?

(people shouting indistinctly)

(phone line ringing)

MAN (over phone):
Guard station.

Yes, I'm trying to
reach Ben Miller?

Hold on.

Thank you. Hello?

Ben, it's Martin.
Martin.

Phillip Green has
20 minutes left to live.

Look, the protestors
and the news vans

are making it impossible
for us to get through.

All right, listen to me.

Make your way over
to the east entrance.

All the protestors
are at the west.

I will try and clear it
so you can get in the door.

Okay, I got it.

PROTESTOR:
You shall not kill!

PROTESTOR 2:
Murder isn't justice!
Murder isn't justice!

(shouting indistinctly)

We lucked out, man.

You have any idea how many guys
try to get picked for this?

A lot.

You and me?
We're gonna make history.

You nervous?

No.
I was just thinking.

I'm nervous.

It's a pretty wild thing
we're doing here.

I mean, the guy
totally deserves it,

but... still.

Warden gives
us the signal,

you and me press our
buttons at the same time.

That way, neither of us
ever knows for sure

that we killed
the guy.

That supposed to make us sleep
better at night?

Well, I'll sleep fine
either way.

I'm gonna go
for a smoke.

Don't get lost.

This thing's supposed
to be done on time.

I'm just...
getting some air.

(shouting indistinctly)

MARTIN:
Please. Please, can you help us?

This is Dr. Kate Gordon.
Her father's scheduled
to be executed tonight.

We need to get in
as fast as we can.
GUARD: I'm sorry, sir,

I'm not authorized to do that.
Her father's attorney,
Ben Miller,

said we can get
in at the east gate.

Look, the front is
completely jammed

with protestors
and news vans.

Please...
Dr. Gordon?

Mike?

What are you doing here?

I work here, I'm a guard.

You know them, Mike?

I know Dr. Gordon.
She's my son's doctor.

Maybe you could help us.

Her father is scheduled to be

executed in less
than 15 minutes.

We need to get
inside now.

It's your father?

(softly):
Yeah.

Can you call it in, please?

And hurry.
Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

I don't mean to
put you in an...

in an awkward situation

No, no, I just...

I didn't know.

How's Max?

He's good.

Yeah, I mean, I think.

You've done a lot for him,
you know.

You've helped, and I just
want him to be okay,

you know?

Max takes his cues from you.

He's okay if you are.

Hey, I didn't know Phillip Green

was your father.
I'm sorry, I...

You're cleared to go in.

Thank you.
Thank you.

Thank you so much.
Thank you.

MARTIN:
We need to go.

George, they're cleared!

You okay?

Yeah.

Yeah...

Could you get the warden's
office on the phone, please?

I...
Yeah.

I want to tell them something.

Sure.
Thanks.

This is the east gate.
I need to reach the warden.

Martin.
Are we too late?

No. I just got a call
from the warden's office.

There's been a delay.
What kind of delay?

One of the execution team
members just dropped out.

They're searching
for a replacement.

They're clear.

Where's my father?
He's right through here.

They brought him back out
to the holding area.

Now, remember,
Kate, no contact.

(sighs)

My whole ride up here,
I-I thought

about what I would say first.

But now that I'm here,

I realize I've been trying

to figure that out for 15 years.

Martin told me that he believes
you stopped talking

to protect me.

And, God, that is the only thing

that has made any sense
in all of this.

God, Daddy, I'm so sorry.

(phone rings)

Sergeant Morales.

Yes, sir.

We're back on.
What about the governor?

There's still a chance, he has
until the final moment, but...

I did what you wanted: I brought
your daughter here, now

if there's something you want
to say, you need to say it now.

Do you understand?
You need to say it now.

GUARD:
All right, Phillip, let's go.

Nice and easy.
MARTIN:
Please!

Daddy...
Please!

I'm not leaving,
you won't be alone.

(buzzer sounds, door opens)

(laughs)

(Kate chuckles)

It wasn't supposed
to happen like this.

I was supposed
to stop it.

You can't.

He did what he had to do.

And he's willing
to pay the price.

But I can remember him now.

(Kate sniffles)

Kate.

If you want to go,
we have to get to the gallery.

Thank you.

(buzzer sounds)

Uh, excuse me, sir.

Mr. Green left this for you.

It's his belongings.

Thank you.

(buzzer sounds)

(cell phone rings)

Avram?

Martin.

Where are you?

I'm just leaving the prison.

It looks like they're gonna go
forward with the execution.

I'm sorry.

But perhaps
that's not your mission.

What do you mean?

It's possible
your mission was just

to find the cipher.

Do the numbers
nine, four, eight

mean anything to you?

Nine, four, eight.
948 Midvale.

It's the address
of the antique shop.

That's where the murders
were committed.

Yes. I think Jake
wants to go there.

I'm on my way.

(bell jingles)

Thank you so much
for seeing us so late.

No trouble.
I live close by.

(clocks ticking)

(bell jingles)

We're definitely here
for a reason.

Could we please see that clock?

Of course.

It's a sentimental

favorite of mine.

In fact, Phillip fixed it for me

the night he was arrested.

Perhaps his way of saying

thank you and good-bye.

Uh...
Jake.

I'm-I'm sorry.

How mu... how much
is the clock?

LEE:
$250.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

What is it, Martin?

I-It's the key to the cipher.

JAKE:
Einstein believed
in timelessness;

he believed that all of time

exists at once:

past, present, future.

Everyone we ever knew
and everything we'll ever be,

is with us in this moment.

(ticking quietly)

(knocks)
If this is true,

then all moments
are equally real

and accessible to us.

We just have to know how.

Trevor.

What is it?

Lucy.

Lucy?

Oh, no.

No...
