All language subtitles for Surface [1x13]

Previously on Surface.

You're not Nim!

Miles was bitten
by a creature.

And now he's changing.

Mark!
Jonathan!

But the creatures
have attacked others...

Aren't you coming?
I know what they found.

...and killed.

Rich and Daughtery presented
their evidence to the world.

Partly.
Explain that.

I was able to obtain...
Genuine article, huh?

It was very similar to
something called a Liopleuridon.

I need a signature, ma'am.

Since when do they need
a signature for a fax?

What are you doing?

They had to run.

Oh! Keep going! Keep going!

Get outta here! Go!

Rich, that's the one. That's
the one that was in Cirko's office.

Hmm, that's the flower.

Until, a mysterious scientist
contacted them.

If I wanted to
harm you I could find easier ways...

What the hell is that?

It's us.

Who is she?
Does she have the answers?

All ready? Ready as we're ever gonna be.

We thought it was understood. The
invitation was for Dr. Daughtery only.

And now,
Surface continues.

Hey.

Listen, honey, I'm really
sorry I didn't call,

but I just...

I didn't think
it'd be very safe.

It's so good to see you.

Did you see us on MSNBC?

Yeah. You
and the other woman.

Now, honey, I told you
it wasn't like that.

You went down
into a submarine with her.

I'm not stupid.
A submersible...

Honey, these things are incredible,
okay? The size of them...

I mean,
you couldn't imagine it.

But you saw the program,
right? You saw them

because they were on there.

Who are you?

Ed Blagman.

Who's he?

I'm not trying to...
I'm not talking to you!

What's he doing here?
This is my house!

Your house?

My house.
Your family?

You just left us.

I didn't leave anybody.
I told you exactly...

Who is this guy?

He's my divorce lawyer.

We're offering
a reward of $10,000.

$10,000.

They killed my son.

We're offering a reward.

Thanks.
Are you all right?

10,000 bucks
in the off-season?

It's gonna be a war zone.

Caitlin's saving me a seat,

unless you want it.

No. I'm fine here.
Okay.

Okay, take your seats, please.

Come on, people.

Well, it's good to see so many
concerned citizens here today...

Yeah, well,
I'm concerned.

I'm concerned I'm gonna get my ass bit
off every time I check my crab traps.

It's not a joke, Burt.

You see me laughing?

Sit down, Burt.
Let him talk.

We hear you got one
at the aquarium.

Yeah, what about that?

Look,
everyone please. Quiet!

We've got a lot to cover, and
I'll need to have some order here.

You want order? You got to
level with us. MAN 2: Yeah!

You got one or not?

We have a specimen.

Whether it's the same species
we're looking for

we can't be sure
at this point.

Eggs! Washed up
on Wrightsville Beach.

A week ago,

we lost a son there,
my wife and I.

He was swimming at that beach,
just like I do

and just like you do and
just like all our children do.

And what have they done?
Nothing!

Bastards!

Now, I don't know about you,

but I'm not gonna
sit around here

and wait for more of these things
to wash into town and hatch.

Turn that off!

The gifted few.

What? I'm sorry?

"Most scientists are
narrow-minded, dull

"and just plain stupid."

James Watson, right?

Of Watson-Crick?

He was right.

Then there are
the gifted few.

Those who,
despite their hubris

and contempt
for received opinion,

do the heavy lifting,
make the real breakthroughs.

Do you take sugar?

Yes, thank you.

I was going to be
one of those.

I was going to
save the world.

Instead...

How did it happen?

Money, of course.

They appealed to my vanity.
That was my mistake.

They who?

They gave me
everything I wanted.

Funds, freedom,
unlimited resources.

Yeah, but who's the "they"?

I received
my doctorate in 2000,

arguably the most important
year in the history of science.

The year Venter sequenced
the human genome.

It was a thrilling time,
a paradigm shift,

and everyone in genomics
knew it.

We were going to unlock
the secrets of how life began.

"Congratulations on conferral
of your doctorate.

"We would like to discuss
your academic research

"and propose an extraordinary
employment opportunity."

First in your class.
Magna.

Published two articles
in Nature. Impressive.

But let's be frank.

There are a lot of impressive
people in laboratories

all over the world.

At our firm, we're interested
in the level beyond.

Men and women with the
capacity of becoming a Kepler,

a Heisenberg, an Einstein.

I'm flattered.

But what firm
do you represent?

We are primarily
a genomics firm,

made up
of like-minded scientists

willing to work beyond the commonly
accepted frontiers of genetics.

What do you mean
by frontiers?

Frontiers of knowledge,
of technique,

of societal conceptions
of morality.

Your graduate thesis on
stimulating the neurotransmitters

was just the kind
of work we admire.

Only lacked one thing.

And what was that?

The opportunity to test your
theories on a thousand test subjects.

That would've taken money.

Unlimited resources
and unwavering support.

We provide both.

This is Dolly,

the sheep that was supposedly
cloned in 1996.

An impressive first,
if it had been first.

We cloned our first sheep
in the early 1960s.

You cloned a sheep
in the 1960s?

And gibbons and pandas.

And the infamous
archaeopteryx.

The archaeopteryx is extinct.

We assumed a kind of custodial
attitude toward the biosphere.

Now I know this is
a lot to process.

I don't understand.

Who pays for all this?

The firm has a vast library
of patents, mostly medical,

that funds
a substantial endowment.

We'd like to make you
part of the firm.

Our only two requirements
are confidentiality

and a permanent commitment.

Permanent?

Employees commit
for a lifetime.

In exchange, we offer
whatever salary you require.

Well, I...

I require a lot.

Fine.

I should've added a zero.

I went to work the next day.

Everything I had been promised
was true.

But there were
other drawbacks.

The corporation is
extremely private.

Employees work alone.
There's no last names.

Socializing is forbidden.

There's frequent rotation to other
facilities around the world...

I mean, that sounds
like a terrorist cell.

Infinitely more cautious
than that.

And all this for the money?

This isn't about the money.

That's not their agenda.

And what is the...
What is the agenda?

There's the rub.

Each scientist is given
their own specific focus,

one that precludes
a larger sense of the whole.

Now, I built the carburetor,
but I never saw the car.

But you must've

had some idea.

Over time,
I had my theories.

That's why I contacted you.

"When the stars
threw down their spears,

"And watered heaven
with their tears,

"Did He smile
His work to see?

"Did He who made the lamb
make thee?"

You all right?

She said what?

She said the species
are man-made.

Man-made?

Yeah, genetically engineered.
Like mold-resistant wheat.

Hang on a second now.

You're telling me a person
created these things?

Who?

Deja vu all over again?

You and your friend pulling
an egg out of the water.

That's how this
all started, right?

Yeah. That's how it started.

Dr. Bloom!

Take a look.

Creepshow.

Looks contagious.

Miles, get me
a cooler, will you?

Miles, what are you doing?

Killing them.

They take over everything.

Do you
realize how incredible this is?

I mean, there's maybe, maybe, two
dozen people in the entire world

who understand the true
possibilities of genomics.

And clearly this firm knows
how to recombine DNA.

It's mind-blowing.

What?

It just kills me. All this time
I thought it was something holy

and here it is, it's just some
egghead in a lab somewhere.

Yeah, you know...

Boy, I thought
I was chosen, you know?

So did she.

Yeah, but...

See, she didn't lose her family
over it. That's the thing.

While you were out there,
I went home, I saw Tracy.

She wants a divorce.

Rich, man, I'm sorry.
I really am.

Do you need to go back?

No. No.

If I quit now, then it'd
really be for nothing,

so let's just keep going,
all right?

So let's talk about this
and figure it out.

You said that...
Now she said

that every member
of this outfit

had a part to play, right? Yeah.

Okay. But then none of
them knew the entire design?

Hmm.
Yeah, but that's ridiculous.

Somebody had to know
the entire design, huh?

No, I don't know.

I don't think she knew.
But, I mean...

Someone designed it. So...

Oh, gosh,
I can figure this out.

How?

That's the first rule of the insurance
biz, man. You follow the money.

Okay, she said they
funded medical patents, right?

Try Oxidase Inhibitor.

Okay.

The woman said that this secret
corporation worked on it in the '60s.

SSRI's. Which are what?

Selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitors,

like anti-depressants.
You know, happy pills.

Got it, okay. Well, it's
asking for an active ingredient.

Right, try phenchloramine.

Which is? The actual name for Nortide.

What, the anti-depressant?

The anti-depressant is right.
The corporation developed it.

Okay, the original patent
was filed December, '63.

Timeline's right.

By who?

What?

It's been redacted.

How is the source patent for
an anti-depressant classified?

When someone with sway
doesn't want to get traced.

All right, well, hey, that means
we're on the right track, right?

So, who makes Nortide?

Lorentec.

As in the world's biggest
pharmaceutical company?

Yeah.

Go ahead, spill it.

What?

A week ago you're all hot
and heavy with Caitlin,

and today you're staring
into an empty incubation tank.

Go ahead. Ask.

I'm an expert on women.

Look, thanks, but...

Come on, dude.
It's Psychology 101.

You can't keep things all bottled
up. You got to talk it out.

Okay, but, dude,
it's a total secret.

She's pregnant. No, no,
no, nothing like that.

It's me and Nim.

Observation.
I'm asking you about a woman,

and you're talking about an
unclassified marine vertebrate,

which is in itself a
warning sign. But go ahead.

Okay.

You know how Nim zaps things?
Like, electrically?

Admittedly, that's weird.

Yeah, well...

I do it, too.

You zap things.

Yeah.

Something very strange
is happening to me.

It's called puberty, dude.

No, no, that's not it.

I zap things, man.

I can't control it.
It just happens sometimes.

It's like I'm connected,

not only to Nim, but to the
other ones, like I'm part of them.

And sometimes, it's like I
can hear what they're thinking,

and it's driving me crazy.

Oh, I get it now.

A jokester, huh?

You had me going there
for a second.

But, you know,
with that deadpan of yours,

I can see why Caitlin thinks
you're a little odd, bro.

Lorentec. We see
the future and make it happen today.

Lorentec is the leading scientific
discovery corporation in the world...

Hi. Annie Boertz. Media
relations. RICH: Hey.

Hey, Annie. Dick Yarborough,
a pleasure to meet you.

This is Sue Truftin.

Hi. Now, Sue is my fact-checker,
so if I get anything wrong,

you blame her, okay?

Don't worry, we will.

So? So, we really appreciate
you taking the time.

We're really interested in finding
out a little bit more history

about one
of your products, Nortide.

The anti-depressant.
That's right.

One of our biggest sellers.
Oh, we know it.

And Nortide's just meant so
much to so many people Yeah.

that we were really curious
to find out a little bit more

about the man who was
responsible... Or woman.

That's right, Sue, thanks.

She keeps me honest,
doesn't she?

Or the person
who is responsible

for developing
the drug, initially.

You know,
who led the design team?

You know...

I don't know.
That is a very good question.

Do you mind waiting here for a
sec? See if I can dig something up?

Okay.

Why did you do that?
What?

You're killing me
with the lines here.

I mean, I was trying
to stick to my lines.

No, no. I know.
I was trying to, like

add in that woman thing,
because... Don't improvise.

It's killing me. But then she's gonna
think... You know, she thinks that...

Should we get out of here?
Should we get out of here?

No, we should stay. I
think it's... ANNIE: Hi.

This is Bill Wolff,
one of our in-house counsels.

Hey, Bill, how are you? Mr. Yarborough.

Miss Truftin.
Yes.

You know we called
Scientific Explorer

and they said you didn't
actually work there.

No. That's...
Not technically.

But that's just because
we... Because we're freelance.

And actually,
Scientific Explorer

is really interested
in the piece,

and it wouldn't take us very
long to go through the archives.

We just have a couple
of questions...

I'm sorry, but our archives are private.

Do you need validation?

That is what I call
getting stonewalled.

Yeah, well, we ain't
giving up that easy.

What, you're gonna, like,
hack into their archives?

No, it's only one clue.
That's our only clue.

You know, you would've made a
lousy insurance investigator.

I'll take that
as a compliment.

Hey, wait a minute.
What?

Look at all these small
biotech firms Lorentec acquired.

So?

So, you don't get to be the world's
biggest pharmaceutical company

by making everything in-house.

You get big by acquisitions.

So any one of these firms could have
been the one that made Nortide initially.

This is
a domesticated specimen.

There's absolutely no guarantee
he'll survive in the wild.

So what if he doesn't?

It's still the most likely way
to get a handle on the problem.

You saw how many eggs
were out there.

So you want to risk losing
the one specimen we have

that we can actually study
to understand the species.

This is a domestic
safety issue.

I got three deaths
in under a week

and no sense
of what we're dealing with.

What's going on?

They want to tag Nim.

If we tag
and release it here,

he'll lead us back
to the school.

And what are you gonna do
if you find them?

We're gonna protect this
community, son. What else?

Will you help us?

Nim?

Nim?

So Lorentec bought
this place to get Nortide?

You saw
the plaque at Lorentec.

They bought everyone
that had a good idea.

Yeah, well,
knowledge is power.

Hello?

Hello?

Hey, Rich,
what're you doing?

I told you I ain't quitting.

Hey, hey, whoa!
It might be electrified.

Hey.

This is weird.
There is nobody here.

It's like a ghost town.

I think we should split up.

No, that's a terrible idea.

Yeah, but look
how big this place is.

I think we should split up,
then we can cover it faster.

All right, here.
Take this then, all right?

That's a hair trigger.
Be careful.

What are you gonna use?

I'll use my mind.
That's my best weapon. Here.

Like I said,
what are you gonna use?

Funny. Die then.

No, Rich, stop.
I was kidding. Come on.

I'll do it. I'll do it.
Just how do you cock it?

It's ready to go. You just
take the safety off, all right?

Okay.

You got it.

Where's he going?

Back to
the Intracoastal, again.

He seems lost.
Is that possible?

He'll find them.

Caitlin.

I just came in for work and
guess what I found out you did?

There's a reason.

I know.

I know there's something
strange going on with you,

that you don't even
want to understand.

I do understand.

I'm changing.

You want to be normal?

Is that so weird?

Besides, Caitlin, these
things are killing people.

Nim isn't.

Everyone I know is worried that
there's nothing special about them,

that they'll never find
what their life is about.

But you...

You find something
that no one on this planet

has ever seen before, ever,

something you claimed
you loved,

and you're destroying it.

That's it. Let's go.
All right. Let's do it, boys.

Where's everyone going?

Compton Marsh.

Nim is settled
in the Waterway there.

It's begun.

Yeah,
there's no one over here.

It's like it's abandoned.

Yeah, this place is
definitely cleared out.

Pretty recently, too.

I got nothing down here.

I'm in a room
with a bunch of big machines

and, I don't know...

I found a computer here.

All right, well, get on it.
See if you can find something.

Hey, you got anything?

Yeah, it's locked
with a password, so,

I just need a name,
anything, just...

Who's buying Nortide?

Yeah, there's just
some envelopes,

some old invoices,
not a whole helluva lot.

Rich?

Rich?

Rich?

I'm all right.
I'm all right.

Sorry.
Don't go silent like that.

It's really
freaking me out.

Don't you wish you had
that gun now?

Who's over there?

Somebody in here? Huh?

I think I got
something here.

Have you seen my mother?

Hey.

What you doing back here, huh?

Somebody leave you here, huh?

Why don't you come out
from back there? Come on.

Come on, give me your hand.

It's all right, I won't
hurt you. Give me your hand.

You're not my mother!

Rich?

Rich, I'm coming!

I'm coming!

Help me!

Help me!
Shoot her! Shoot her!

Well, we got them on the move here.

We're driving them
into the marsh.

Just keep driving them
this way.

We got a little something
for them.

Come on, boys.
Help us out.

Okay, now, listen up.

Everybody, form a line!

All right,
everybody spread out!

Try not to shoot
each other, all right?

Keep spreading
down on the right.

We're ready.

Everybody get ready!

Here they come.

Take aim!

Fire!

Miles?

I just... I want...

Caitlin, something
terrible's gonna happen.

Hey, Joe!
Yeah?

Like fish
in a barrel, man!

That's a keeper, huh?

Oh, God.
Sorry.

Sorry.

I tell you what,

you go to the bottom of the
ocean and you see that thing

and you think
you seen it all.

Hold still.

Sorry, Rich.

I thought
it was gonna kill me.

I really did.

It spoke.

It sounded like a little girl. I know.

That was a mistake.

Well, it probably was. But

we had an encounter.

It's not just Liopleuridon DNA
that they're manipulating.

Listen, I have a list

of the board of directors
of Iderdex, okay?

I'm sorry, I can't.

Okay, all you have to do
is say yes or no.

Daniel Beecher.

No.

Okay.

Harvey Pierce.

No.

Alger Koestler.

Alger Koestler.

Did you hear
what I said?

You are opening a door
that cannot be closed.

Alger Koestler, yes or no?

Special collections library,
Berkeley.

Goodbye, Doctor.

Hang in there, buddy.

Get back. Get back!

Nim, stop!

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Dr. Morris.

Hello.

Do you know who I am?

I can guess.

I believe you've violated
company policy.

Yes, I did.

I'd like to e-mail
my family

to say goodbye.

Of course.

Miles?

Caitlin, take my hand.

I can't.

Hey, look at me.

Take my hand.
They won't hurt us.

It's okay.

Take my hand.

I've gotta go.

You're so beautiful right now.

What kind of freak
is this kid?

The Koestler Archive.
Yeah.

Alger Koestler.
Yes.

I heard that he was actually a
professor here at one point in his life.

For almost 30 years,
up until the early '50s.

Okay.

We don't get a lot of requests
for this collection.

No, well,
thank you very much.

Happy hunting. I believe this
is what you're looking for.

Yes, thank you.

Okay.

Rich.

It's labeled,
"The Discovery, 1957."

Obviously,
they found something.

What in the world do you think
they're looking for?

I don't know,
but whatever it is,

I hope they got it
on film.

You think that's Koestler?

Maybe.

It's a good-sized
expedition party.

Hey, look. Look at this.

There you go.

Looks like they found something. Yeah.

It looks like a crater
or something or...

Hey! Is that
Cirko's flower?

I don't understand. What
does that have to do with...

I know him.
I know that guy.

He was there.

He was there when the creatures
breached at Bolinas Bay with Cirko.

That guy was there.

That's the same guy that got my
blood taken at Sullivan's Island.

That's impossible.

Yes, he's gotta be
50 years old.

I mean, that guy
would have to be 80.
