I told you I'd help you, then you ran off.

Now look where we are.

[Jude] I didn't do anything wrong.

You know, they didn't even want to let me talk to you.

Please, get me out of this place.

Please.

Every second I am not looking for Gabriel...

I'm sure he can wait just a little bit longer.

What do you want from me?

The truth. Just...

tell me the truth.

You know, coming here, I thought I was finally free.

A couple of days locked in your guest room,

and now I'm back in a cage.

- Who kept you in a cage? - You wouldn't understand.

Well... [laughs]

Wh-Why don't you let me try?

They control everything.

What we eat.

When we sleep.

How we think.

We were completely isolated in some compound

in the middle of nowhere.

You know, to them, it's just a way to protect the secret.

What secret?

The same one you have

under your shed.

There's more of those, by the way,

a lot more.

Who built them?

I'm not sure.

But they're very old.

And the planet?

You've seen it.

It's just a wasteland,

where things go to die.

Well, that can't be everything.

There's got to be more to it than that.

You're thinking too small.

Those things, they don't just go to the planet.

They all connect to each other,

like a network of doorways.

That's how I got here.

That's how Gabriel got here.

Through the doorways?

I have to find him.

If I can find him, I have a chance.

I can start a new life.

If not...

they will send people.

Dangerous people.

Where did the blood come from?

When I escaped, someone saw me.

He tried to stop me.

I had no choice.

He would've...

If they find me, they'll kill me.

[laughs] Well...

now just let me be the judge of that, please.

And this can't wait.

Look, he's young, and he's had too much to drink.

Can't we just let it slide?

He was stopped for public intoxication.

He was arrested for fleeing from an officer.

He's new in town,

- and he was scared. - He has no ID.

He refused to give me a last name, a date of birth.

Novatny?

Any relation to Eric?

Uh... Yeah. He's my dad.

Is he?

Well, I taught Eric at Farnsworth Senior High.

Wasn't he, uh,

in law enforcement, too?

[chuckles] Just retired after 30 years.

Oh, well...

I helped him write his essay

- when he applied to the academy. - [chuckles]

[laughs] And here you are, following in his footsteps.

Oh, he must be so proud.

He's been known to brag. [chuckles]

Well, I knew your dad was a man of character,

even in high school,

much like that young man that you have locked up back there.

He doesn't deserve this.

Besides, you wouldn't deprive an elderly couple

of their caregiver, now, would you?

[laughs]

And I can, I can pay his ticket right now.

You must've been a tough teacher.

- Let me see what I can do. - [laughs]

[Irene] Have you ever read Emerson?

[Jude] No. Who is that?

[Irene] Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I used to teach his...

essay "Compensation."

It was about the balancing forces of the universe.

Not...

in physics, but...

in the soul.

"There is always some

leveling circumstance," he said.

When Michael died, I...

I suffered an exceptional pain.

I thought what we found in the backyard...

that thing, that was our "leveling circumstance."

But I guess...

it wasn't so unique after all.

But yours is unique.

You don't have to say that.

No, I mean that.

Something brought my father

to your backyard...

which led me to you.

It was meant to be.

Well, if that's the case,

can you please not run away again?

I wasn't running away.

[TV plays indistinctly]

Chandra took it.

I know she did.

So, what was your plan?

Just knock on her door at midnight and ask for it back?

[man on TV] You mind if I ask you...

[Irene] Oh, for heaven's sake.

He's supposed to be watching his sodium.

[man 2] Not at all.

Well, at least I won't have to explain where we've been.

[chuckles]

Should I help him upstairs?

No, let him sleep it off. He smells like a distillery.

Come on.

[cupboard door clatters]

[water running]

[water shuts off]

[pills rattle]

You'll thank me in the morning.

I have to get it back.

Tomorrow. We'll get it tomorrow.

I promise.

[chuckles]

- Good night. - Good night.

I'm telling you, this assignment is a big deal.

- [Leslie] Oh, my gosh, Michael. - And she's gonna say that it's not, but it is.

And so well deserved, Leslie.

Thanks.

The traveling will be an adjustment,

but it's a good company.

Not everyone gets to rep cancer medication

right out of the gate.

Yeah, that's very impressive.

It's only because there's been a lot of turnover lately.

- I just got lucky, that's all. - Oh, come on.

Enjoy it. All your hard work,

those late nights at the library, it's all paying off.

Hey, we never would've met

without late nights at the library.

That's exactly what I'm saying.

You went through a lot of hardship to get here.

- [laughter] - [Leslie] Don't joke like that.

I'm just proud of you.

[Leslie] Did Michael tell you about the photography class?

A professor saw his pictures behind the reference desk

and invited him to audit a class.

It's just birds.

They're not even that good.

- I-I take them on my breaks. - [Leslie sighs]

I like them.

People like them.

People like birds. [chuckles]

But thanks.

Aw, that remind you of us?

- Vaguely. - [both laugh]

Mom, Dad.

We're engaged.

- [gasps] - [chuckles] That is fantastic news.

Here. Congratulations.

- [chuckles] - Thank you.

[Irene] Wow. I'm so happy for you two.

Thank you.

And, uh, got some more good news for you.

I'm moving out.

Gonna get out of your hair.

That's my working theory. Anyway, yeah,

He didn't even believe that teleportation

was possible, so...

It's just theories.

[Nick] Oh, it's not really a theory.

I've been taking this online Spanish thing,

Particles.

Invisibly linked over massive distances.

They're disconnected, but somehow

bonded, like us.

it's just a matter of progress. Think about it.

I couldn't have done this without you, Franklin.
