PREVIOUSLY ON PSI FACTOR...

MATT, IT WASN'T PETER.

I WAS THE LEAK.

LINDSAY,

I--

I TRUSTED YOU.

CURTIS ROLLINS. MATTHEW PRAEGER.

I FORGET HOW RARELY

OUR CASE MANAGERS GET TO WORK TOGETHER.

THE WAY THE BOY DESCRIBED THE SCIENTISTS' DISAPPEARANCE--

IF WE COULD SEE WHAT THEY SAW ON THE OTHER SIDE,

MAYBE--

ANTON, NO!

ANTON, GET OUT OF THERE.

THERE'S NOTHING TO BE AFRAID OF.

ANTON WAIT!

PRAEGER REPORTING.

I UNDERSTAND THAT CASE MANAGER ROLLINS' TEAM

WILL CONTINUE AT THE EVENT SITE.

AS FOR ME FRANK, IF YOU WANT MY RESIGNATION,

IT'LL BE ON YOUR DESK IN THE MORNING.

PRAEGER OUT.

I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE MY RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE BOARD

AND NOW I HAVE MY SHORT LIST.

HENDRICKS IS MISSING,

PRESUMED DEAD.

DONNER HAS RESIGNED.

ARE YOU GOING TO JOIN HER AND YOUR FRIEND,

PRAEGER,

IN SOME MISGUIDED DISPLAY OF SOLIDARITY?

OR WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE CASE MANAGER?

PRAEGER SAID YOU COULD HAVE HIS RESIGNATION IF YOU WANTED IT.

DO YOU? PROVIDED I HAVE A SUITABLE REPLACEMENT.

OH.

I WANT THE JOB.

BUT NOT LIKE THIS.

I CAN'T BUILD MY CAREER AT THE EXPENSE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S.

THEN YOU'RE NOT GONNA HAVE MUCH OF A CAREER.

YEAH WELL,

THAT JUST MAY BE.

IN THE MEANTIME,

WE COULD USE A GOOD PHYSICIST

WORKING ON THE ARCH.

IF THAT INTERESTS YOU.

I'M CURTIS ROLLINS.

CONSTABLE ROGER CARDINAL.

HI, PETER AXON.

THROUGH HERE, PLEASE.

FOUND HER WANDERING IN THE TUNDRA.

SHE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A COAT ON.

HOW'S SHE DOING?

BY THE TIME I GOT HER HERE, SHE'D LOST 6 FINGERS

AND HALF HER FOOT TO THE FROSTBITE.

I DON'T KNOW.

WE GET MAYBE 2 FLIGHTS A WEEK HERE.

I MEET EVERY PLANE AND CHOPPER THAT LANDS.

SHE DID NOT GET OFF A PLANE.

SHE JUST APPEARED.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE JUST APPEARED?

I MEAN APPEARED.

ONE MINUTE I'M DRIVING TO THE OUT PORT, NOTHING.

THE NEXT MINUTE, SHE'S JUST THERE.

JOANNE?

YOU KNOW HER, CURTIS?

JOANNE?

CURTIS?

I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE SAFE.

YOU BASTARD!

YOU DID THIS TO ME.

LET GO.

YOU DID THIS TO ME.

LET GO.

THE O.S.I.R. OFTEN ENCOUNTERS UNCONVENTIONAL TECHNOLOGIES

AND SECRET RESEARCH UNDERTAKEN BY PRIVATE,

GOVERNMENT AND INSTITUTIONAL GROUPS.

SOMETIMES THE ATTRACTION TO THIS FORBIDDEN KNOWLEDGE

CAN PROVE LETHAL,

AS IN THE FOLLOWING CASE.

SO HOW DOES SHE KNOW YOU, CURTIS?

JOANNE'S ONE OF THE SCIENTISTS WHO STEPPED THROUGH THE ARCH.

WHAT?

THAT'S 2,000 MILES AWAY.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME YOU EXPECTED TO FIND HER HERE?

I THOUGHT IT WAS HER BUT I COULDN'T BE SURE.

SHE WAS A JANE DOE.

HER DESCRIPTION WAS VAGUE.

I DIDN'T WANT TO GET YOUR HOPES UP.

SHE STEPPED THROUGH AND SURVIVED THE ARCH!

THE MACHINE THAT TOOK HENDRICKS!

THIS IS THE 1st INDICATION WE HAVE

THAT HE MAY STILL BE ALIVE.

DIDN'T WANT TO GET MY HOPES UP; GREAT.

HOW IS SHE?

THE NURSE IS TRYING TO CALM HER.

CONSTABLE, BEFORE WE ARRIVED DID YOU SPEAK WITH DR. BESTER?

SHE WAS IN SHOCK.

SIR, I KNOW MY SUPERIORS AGREED TO COOPERATE WITH YOU,

BUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MISS BESTER WAS VERY, VERY BAD.

SHE FEELS YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE.

YOU WILL KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.

GET OUT OF MY WAY.

SIR, I WILL NOT.

HEY, HEY, HEY.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

DO YOU THINK WE COULD EXAMINE

THE AREA WHERE SHE WAS FOUND?

YOU HAVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO THAT?

IT'S NOT EXACTLY A TOURIST SPOT, IS IT?

THIS ISN'T COLD ENOUGH FOR FROSTBITE.

IT STILL GETS BELOW FREEZING AT NIGHT.

I DON'T KNOW HOW LONG SHE WAS OUT HERE

BEFORE I FOUND HER.

I'M READING A RESIDUAL ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD.

SOURCE?

WHERE EXACTLY DID YOU FIND HER?

OVER THERE.

SHE WAS CRYING, STAGGERING.

IN ABOUT THAT SPOT THERE.

YEAH, RIGHT THERE.

SHE--

YES?

SHE STARTED TO PAW AT THE GROUND,

LIKE AN ANIMAL TRYING TO DIG SOMETHING UP OR SOMETHING,

UNTIL HER HAND, WHAT WAS LEFT OF HER HAND, STARTED TO BLEED.

I DIDN'T SEND HER HERE.

WHAT DID YOU DO, HUH; WHY ARE YOU HERE?

TO HELP.

CURTIS.

WE'RE OFF THE SCALE.

IT'S THE KIND OF E.M. ACTIVITY YOU'D FIND AT A POWER PLANT.

ANY IDEAS?

AH--

WHAT IF THE ARCH WAS--

WAS WORKING LIKE AN APPORTATION DEVICE?

BESTER STEPS INTO IT, HER MOLECULES ARE BROKEN DOWN

AND THEN REASSEMBLED HERE.

NO, THAT WOULD BE INSTANTANEOUS; SHE ONLY TURNED UP THURSDAY.

WHERE WAS SHE THE LAST 2 MONTHS?

WHY DID SHE END UP HERE? YEAH.

WELL,

WHAT IF IT WAS ACTING LIKE A--

LIKE A RADIO TRANSMITTER?

THEN WE COULD HAVE A RECEIVER BURIED HERE.

THAT WOULD EXPLAIN THE E.M. ACTIVITY.

I'LL ORDER UP A GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.

IT'S FRESH.

CONSTABLE,

HOW MUCH IS AN ORANGE AT YOUR LOCAL HUDSON'S BAY.

THIS TIME OF YEAR,

15 DOLLARS, IF ANY IS ON SALE.

MAY I SEE THAT?

CURTIS,

I RAN A TEST WITH THE ARCH.

I THREW AN ORANGE

THROUGH IT AND IT DISAPPEARED--

UNTIL NOW.

GET DOWN, GET DOWN.

GET OFF THE VEHICLE!

STAY DOWN!

YOU KNOW HIM?

NO.

ANOTHER STRANGER IN YOUR TIGHT LITTLE COMMUNITY.

*

HE'S A BAD SHOT TO MISS WITH THIS.

OPTICAL SITE OPTIMIZED

FOR BATTLE RANGES.

BOTH THE CHAMBER AND THE BARREL ARE BEAUTIFULLY CHROMED.

YOU SEE MANY FINE AUSTRIAN WEAPONS AROUND HERE, CONSTABLE?

NO.

WHERE'D HE COME FROM?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU SAID YOU MET EVERY AIRCRAFT.

YES, I DO.

WELL, YOU DIDN'T MEET OUR FLIGHT.

LISTEN,

SOMETHING'S GOING ON AND I THINK AS A SCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATION

WE HAVE A BETTER CHANCE

OF UNDERSTANDING IT THAN YOU DO.

WHY DIDN'T YOU MEET US?

WHEN YOU FOUND JOANNE, WAS SHE WITH SOMEONE ELSE?

AN OLDER MAN, ANTON HENDRICKS?

CONSTABLE,

PLEASE.

OH, TERRIFIC.

WHAT?

WALK INTO A DARK ROOM, YOU KNOW WHAT WE'LL FIND--

DEAD BODY.

IT'S NOT EXACTLY A BODY.

PART OF A BODY.

IT-- HE WAS JUST OFF THE MINING COMPLEX, IN THE WOODS.

WHERE YOU FOUND DR. BESTER?

YEAH.

I THOUGHT HE WAS A VICTIM OF A BEAR ATTACK.

I'M STILL GOING THROUGH THE MISSING PERSONS REPORTS.

THAT'S NOT WHAT ANTON WAS WEARING.

YOU SEEN THIS BEFORE?

YEAH, BUT NOT WITH THAT KIND OF FREEZER BURN.

OKAY, GRAB YOUR END.

REALLY?

DAVISON WILL FLAY ME IF WE DON'T GET THIS RIGHT.

OKAY, PUT IT DOWN.

EASY.

18.3 KILOS.

IS THAT ALL?

WELL, 2 LEGS AND A PELVIS.

NO, THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT.

I'M JUST GONNA CUT AWAY HIS PANT LEG.

POLAR BEAR.

SIZE, SHAPE AND DEPTH CONSISTENT WITH KNOWN ATTACKS.

YOU SEE THESE GROOVES?

TEETH MARKS RENT SIDE TO SIDE.

POLAR BEARS LIKE TO PLAY WITH THEIR FOOD.

THEY KIND OF WORRY IT BACK AND FORTH IN THEIR JAWS.

THIS WAS FOUND AT THE TOWN DUMP?

IT'S AN OLD MINE BUT THERE WAS GARBAGE AROUND.

I WONDER WHY THE BEAR DIDN'T DRAG IT TO HIGHER GROUND.

MAYBE IT WAS SCARED OFF.

BEARS WHO HAVE A TASTE FOR GARBAGE DO NOT SCARE EASY.

WOULD IT TEAR A BODY IN 2?

OH NO, THE BEARS DIDN'T DO THIS.

THEY GOT TO HIM AFTER HE WAS DEAD.

HI.

I'M PETER.

WELL, I'D OFFER YOU MY HAND

BUT I'M NOT SURE THAT WOULD BE POLITE.

IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR YOU?

TAKE ME BACK TO THE ARCH.

WHY?

JOANNE?

WHEN I WENT INTO THE ARCH,

THROUGH THE ARCH AND BEYOND,

IT WAS LIKE HOME.

IT WAS LIKE WHEN I SAW EARTH FROM SPACE.

YOU KNOW, AFTER SEEING THAT

YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE SOME DEEPER MEANING,

SOMETHING PROFOUND.

THAT'S ASTRONAUT'S SYNDROME.

IT'S A FORM OF FALSE EUPHORIA.

NO, IT'S NOT.

WHEN I WENT INTO THE ARCH,

I FELT IT AGAIN.

I-- I SAW THE--

THE TUNNEL OF LIGHT

AND I FELT THE WATERS.

I FELT THE WATERS RUSHING THROUGH ME.

BUT THEN SOMEBODY PULLED ME OUT

AND SENT ME HERE.

PLEASE TAKE ME BACK.

YOU SHOULD STAY HERE.

AT LEAST UNTIL A DOCTOR EXAMINES YOU.

NO, NO, I'M FEELING FINE, REALLY I AM.

JOANNE,

WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE RULES.

DETERMINE HOW YOU GOT HERE BEFORE WE MOVE YOU ELSEWHERE.

YOU WANT TO MAKE IT UP TO ME; DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HELP ME?

IT'S NOT SAFE. IT WASN'T SAFE

WHEN WE STARTED WORKING FOR SCHRAFT.

STOP MAKING DECISIONS FOR ME, CURTIS.

TAKE ME BACK, YOU HAVE TO.

IT'S HOME.

WITHIN THE LIGHT.

TAKE ME TO MY FAMILY,

TO MY FRIENDS.

WHO ELSE WAS THERE, IN THE LIGHT BEYOND THE ARCH?

JOANNE, ANY OF YOUR COLLEAGUES?

A TALL MAN, BALDING, WITH GRAY HAIR.

IT WAS, IT WAS--

IT WAS WHAT?

IT WAS

SO BEAUTIFUL.

I THOUGHT I'D DIED.

*

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY WILL BE DONE BY MORNING.

ANY IDENTIFICATION?

WAS IT A MEMBER OF THE ARCH TEAM?

UNTIL DAVISON RUNS A DNA TEST, WE WON'T KNOW FOR SURE.

IS THAT APPROPRIATE?

WELL, I FOLDED HIS KNEES.

IT'S A LONG FLIGHT BACK.

WHEN JOANNE WAS IN THE ARCH SHE SAID SOMETHING PULLED HER OUT.

SO?

MAYBE WHEN I WAS RUNNING MY TESTS I--

I KNOCKED HER FREE OF SOME KIND OF STASIS

OR SUSPENDED ANIMATION.

THAT WOULD ACCOUNT FOR

HER MISSING 2 MONTHS.

I GOTTA TALK TO HER AGAIN, I'M GONNA TAKE HER BACK TO THE ARCH.

PETER, NO.

IT'S WHAT SHE WANTS.

I MAY HAVE KNOCKED HER FREE

BUT YOU'RE THE GUY WHO PUT HER THERE IN THE 1st PLACE.

LOOK, IF I FREED HER, MAYBE I CAN FREE ANTON.

WE HAVEN'T DONE ENOUGH FOR HER, REMEMBER?

*

*

*

*

*

*

NO, NO, THE CONSTABLE NEVER SAW WHAT HIT HIM.

COULD HAVE BEEN OUR ASSAILANTS WHO KIDNAPPED DR. BESTER.

BUT WHY DID THEY LEAVE THEIR OWN MAN BEHIND?

SHE MAY STILL BE HERE.

CURTIS, WE GOT SOMETHING!

I THINK WE FOUND ANOTHER ARCH.

YOUR RECEIVER?

WELL, WE'LL PACK IT UP, SHIP IT SOUTH FOR ANALYSIS.

I'LL BE STAYING.

WE HAVE A WITNESS AND WE HAVE AN ASSAILANT ON THE LOOSE.

THE LOCALS HAVE EVERYTHING UNDER CONTROL, CURTIS.

I'M STAYING UNTIL I FIND HER.

JOANNE IS SOMEWHERE NEAR.

ALRIGHT.

*

INTERESTING TECHNIQUE.

YEAH, PRAEGER TAUGHT ME THAT.

SO DAVISON'S DNA TEST

DID CONFIRM THAT THE VICTIM WAS DR. BRAM PAGE,

ONE OF YOUR MISSING SCIENTISTS.

IT WAS THE BOTTOM HALF OF A GUY WE FOUND HERE 2 MONTHS AGO.

LIKE A MAGICIAN SAWED HIM IN HALF

AND FORGOT TO FINISH THE TRICK.

OKAY.

I'VE HOOKED UP THE 2nd ARCH TO A POWER SOURCE WE CAN CONTROL.

I'LL HAVE TO MAKE AN INFORMED GUESS

ON HOW TO BALANCE THE POWER BETWEEN THE 2 OF THEM.

I WASN'T REALLY EXPECTING TO FIND JUST A FRAGMENT.

MY OFFICE IS STILL WAITING FOR YOUR SCHEMATIC OF THAT PLANT.

WHY DON'T YOU TALK TO CURTIS

IF YOU DON'T THINK I'M SPENDING MY TIME WISELY.

CURTIS IS DISTRACTED BY PERSONAL CONCERNS.

THIS IS PERSONAL.

AXON, YOU WOULD DO WELL TO REMEMBER THAT THIS ORGANIZATION

GIVES YOU OPPORTUNITIES AND RESOURCES

THAT YOU WOULD NEVER FIND ANYWHERE ELSE.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW, IT IS A SHAME THAT WE LOST JOANNE BESTER.

HER KNOW-HOW WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUCIAL AS A RESOURCE.

PHYSICISTS ARE A DIME A DOZEN.

SHE EXPERIENCED THE ARCH FIRST HAND.

THAT IS INVALUABLE.

YES.

YES.

I'M STILL LOOKING FOR A STRONG SENIOR DATA ANALYST.

HOPEFULLY SOMEONE WITH EXPERIENCE IN APPORTATION.

WHY DON'T YOU CHECK THE ROSTER?

I'LL DO THAT.

HERE WE ARE JUST SITTING HAVING A CUP OF COFFEE.

IT SEEMS SO NORMAL, DOESN'T IT?

I GUESS.

I WAS SURPRISED THAT YOU ASKED FOR ME.

WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR A DATA ANALYST ON THE APPROVED LIST--

NO ONE CAME CLOSE TO YOU.

AND ELSINGER AGREED TO MY REINSTATEMENT?

WELL, I DIDN'T TELL HIM YOU WERE THE LEAK.

I GUESS MATT DIDN'T EITHER.

THAT'LL JUST BE OUR LITTLE SECRET.

PETER, I'M--

I'M NOT SO SURE THAT I CAN COME BACK.

WE CAN FIND ANTON.

HE'S ALIVE.

IT'S ALL I'VE BEEN WORKING ON AND THINKING ABOUT FOR 2 MONTHS.

AND I'M CLOSE.

I NEED YOUR HELP.

AND ALSO MR. ELSINGER PHONED FOR YOU AGAIN.

HE'S PERSISTENT.

TELL HIM,

I'M ON ASSIGNMENT.

YOUR FINGERPRINTS CAME UP.

FROM YOUR SERVICE

IN THE FINNISH ARMY.

ACCORDING TO THIS,

YOU'RE A LAPLANDER.

WE PREFER THE TERM "SAMI".

THIS ALSO SAYS YOU'RE A CAPITAL "H" HUNTER.

WHAT'S THAT EXACTLY?

ANSWER MY QUESTIONS

AND I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR ARTIFACT.

THE HUNTERS ARE A RELIGION,

A DIASPORA,

SEARCHING, LIKE ALL RELIGIONS, FOR AN UNDERSTANDING--

OF LIFE

AND DEATH.

YOU'RE A LONG WAY FROM HOME

SO ARE YOU.

SHE HAD NOTHING ON HER.

SO, NO CASH?

LET'S SAY YOU WANT TO DISAPPEAR,

CHANGE YOUR LIFE,

YOUR IDENTITY.

IT CAN BE DONE,

IF YOU WANT.

THERE YOU GO, SOMEONE USED HER PHONE CARD.

COULD BE HER.

10 CALLS,

AND ALL IN THE LAST 3 DAYS.

AND ALL TO THE SAME NUMBER.

BUT YOU WILL BE FOUND.

A PHONE CALL HOME, A CARD SENT TO YOUR DAD.

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU RESIST, YOUR TIES STILL DRAW YOU HOME.

AND THEY ALWAYS, ALWAYS, GIVE YOU AWAY.

ALOHA.

THAT'S SOME SHIRT.

I USE IT TO FLAG DOWN SATELLITES.

HEY, COOP.

GOOD TO SEE YOU, MATT.

GOOD TO BE SEEN; GLAD TO BE BACK.

OLD HOME WEEK.

I THINK WE'RE ALL HERE FOR ANTON.

SO WE ARE.

PETE, HELP ME CATCH UP HERE.

YOU THINK ANTON IS TRAPPED INSIDE THE ARCH

IN SOME SORT OF ENERGY FIELD.

IT'S A POSSIBILITY.

BUT IF PAGE AND JOANNE WALKED THROUGH THE ARCH AND--

APPORTED.

WHY DIDN'T ANTON END UP THERE, TOO?

AND WHERE DID JOANNE GO?

PARIS OR ROME?

WELL, CURTIS THINKS THE HUNTERS GRABBED HER.

AND WHO ARE THEY?

THE HUNTERS ARE MEMBERS OF AN OBSCURE PAN-NATIVE CULT

THAT SUPPOSEDLY DIED OUT YEARS AGO.

BUT BESTER'S NOT ACTING LIKE THEIR CAPTIVE.

SHE HAS FREE ACCESS TO A PHONE.

SHE MADE A CALL FROM COPPER LANDING, ANOTHER FROM LABRADOR.

THEN CHICOUTIMI.

THEN CHICOUTIMI AGAIN.

QUITE THE GRAND TOUR.

AT LEAST A DOZEN FROM MONTREAL; SHE'S HEADING SOUTH.

LINDSAY, THAT'S THE ROUTE I FLEW.

SAME TIMES, TOO.

YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO PICK UP VANISHING HITCHHIKERS.

COULD SHE HAVE STOWED AWAY?

MATT, IT WAS A 4 SEATER.

THE STORAGE COMPARTMENT WASN'T HEATED.

SHE'S ON HER WAY BACK HERE

TO THE ARCH.

SHE'S OBSESSED WITH IT.

WHO'S SHE PHONING?

HER FATHER.

WHAT DOES SHE--

NO.

THANK YOU.

WHAT DOES SHE SAY?

HER DAD SAYS HE HEARS NOTHING.

NO VOICE, NO DIAL TONE,

NOT EVEN BREATHING.

ALRIGHT, UM--

I WANNA LOOK AT THIS NEW AND IMPROVED ARCH.

MEET ME THERE IN AN HOUR.

HE DISAPPEARS FOR 3 MONTHS TO SAIL WITH HIS DAUGHTER

AND THEN COMES ROARING BACK AS CASE MANAGER AND--

BIG FOOTS OVER EVERYTHING.

THANKS.

FOR WHAT?

PETE, I--

JUST WANT TO SAY I APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DID,

DECLINING MY JOB.

OH.

YOUR LOYALTY HELPED ME COME BACK.

I JUST HOPE YOUR TRUST IN ME ISN'T MISPLACED.

I HOPE SO, TOO.

* A ET

IF YOU NEED IT.

DR. CLAIRE DAVISON.

FINAL AUTOPSY ON BRAM PAGE.

37.

15.2 KILOS.

HE'S LOST WEIGHT.

PAGING JENNY CRAIG.

DON'T YOU ALWAYS LOSE SOME TISSUE IN AN AUTOPSY?

YES, BUT NOT 3 KILOS.

EITHER SOMEONE'S TAKEN IT DELIBERATELY OR--

OR WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

FRANK,

YOU ONCE SAID ANTON WAS YOUR CLOSEST FRIEND.

YES.

IFTHERE'S ANYTHING YOU KNOW--

U' E 1st HE.

I WEE L LIDEAN WI

FOR THE EVENTS OF LAST YEAR.

SO I'LL KEEP YOUR RESIGNATION ON FILE

AL

LC LISA

EASE GIVE MY REGARDS TO MICHAEL KELLY.

OH, I WILL.

SO,

I GUESS EVERYONE KNEW ABOUT MIKE'S LITTLE CON BUT ME, HUH?

THAT MAKE SENSE.

I WAS THE MARK, RIGHT?

HOW IS OLD MIKE?

FINE.

WELL, I GUESS WE'LL DISCUSS THAT LATER, DEAR.

WHAT ABOUT THESE?

I JUST GOT THIS FAX FROM ROLLINS.

THAT GLYPH

MATCHES A DRAWING THAT HIS SAMI HUNTER MADE.

ALTHOUGH, IN THIS CONTEXT, IT'S UNTRANSLATABLE.

THE ARCH WAS FOUND IN THE YUCATAN PENINSULA, RIGHT?

YES, BUT THERE'S NO RECORD OF HIM EVER HAVING BEEN THERE

OR AS FAR AS THE CANADIAN SUB ARCTIC.

THAT'S IT?

THE SAMI HAD A VERY INTERESTING SURVIVAL TECHNIQUE.

THEY DIDN'T BELIEVE IN WAR, MATT.

THEY PRACTICED SOMETHING CALLED "PEACEFUL RETREATING".

WHEN THEIR TERRITORY WAS INVADED,

THEY SIMPLY

DISAPPEARED.

SOUND FAMILIAR?

YEAH.

PETER AXON, CHIEF SCIENCE ANALYST.

THIS IS ARCH TEST 329 TANGO

AT POINT 1 PERCENT POWER.

OKAY, WHO DIDN'T PAY THE CABLE?

STANDING BY TO GO AGAIN.

IT'S LESS ORGANIC,

LESS MENACING THAN WHEN IT ABSORBED HENDRICKS.

IT'S GIVING OFF RADIO WAVES.

THE ARCH HAS CHANGED.

IT'S NOT AT FULL POWER.

I THINK THE PROXIMITY OF THE 2nd ARCH IS AFFECTING ITS FUNCTION.

ALRIGHT, START COUNTDOWN FOR TEST AT FULL POWER.

COPY THAT.

WE AGREED 50 PERCENT.

I'VE BEEN RUNNING TESTS FOR 2 MONTHS.

HOW LONG CAN ANTON SURVIVE?

ALRIGHT, IT'S YOUR CALL.

GOING TO FULL POWER.

WHO WAS THAT? WHAT?

SOMEONE JUST WALKED PAST

CAMERA 3.

STOP THE TEST.

NICE WORK, FRANK.

NO, I SHOULD CONGRATULATE YOU AND YOUR TEAM.

THAT WAS MAGNIFICENT.

DR. BESTER?

*

ARE THOSE ALL THE ANGLES WE HAVE?

I DON'T GET IT.

NO JOANNE.

HOW DID SHE GET PASSED SECURITY?

WHERE DID SHE COME FROM?

HOW AM I?

WELL, I CAN'T TELL.

THE E.E.G. MACHINE, NONE OF THE BIO STATS ARE REGISTERING.

I THINK I'M GONNA HAVE TO RELY ON OLD-FASHIONED METHODS.

THIS MAY BE A LITTLE COLD.

EXCUSE ME.

*

WELL, YOUR HEARTBEAT'S FINE.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR HANDS.

IT'LL BE OKAY.

HERE WE GO.

WHAT'S IT LIKE?

THE ARCH?

OH, IT'S WONDERFUL.

SO MANY PEOPLE THERE.

SO MANY PRESENCES.

ANYONE YOU RECOGNIZE?

THERE WAS ONE MAN.

A TALL MAN,

VERY KIND,

BALDING,

GRAY HAIR.

YES, THAT'S HIM.

AND HE'S STILL IN THE ARCH?

YES, BUT HE WANTS TO LEAVE.

HE WANTS TO COME BACK.

POOR MAN.

HE DOESN'T UNDERSTAND.

BUT I COULD GUIDE HIM OUT.

*

HER INJURIES DON'T MATCH THE NURSE'S CHART

FROM COPPER LANDING.

SHE'S LOST TISSUE SINCE THEN.

SAME THING HAPPENED TO PAGE'S CORPSE.

YES.

IT'S POSSIBLE.

WHAT IF THE ARCH IS TRANSFORMING MATTER INTO RADIO WAVES?

THE SIGNAL WOULD GET WEAKER

THE FURTHER YOU GET FROM THE SOURCE.

THE MORE SHE FADES AWAY.

THAT'S WHY I CAN'T PICK HER UP ON THE BIO STATS.

THE EFFECTS OF THE APPORTATION MAY INTERFERE WITH THE MONITORS.

WHAT ABOUT HER HEARTBEAT?

WHAT, IT'S IRREGULAR?

NO, IT WASN'T THERE.

AND THEN IT WAS JUST THERE.

GUYS, LET'S TAKE THIS DOWN HERE.

ALRIGHT, HOW CAN SHE PULL ANTON OUT OF THE ARCH?

SHE SAYS WHEN SHE'S CLOSE TO IT SHE FEELS OTHER PRESENCES THERE.

WHEN I WAS ALMOST DRAWN IN, THAT'S WHAT I EXPERIENCED.

THEY CALLED TO YOU?

YEAH.

SHE CAN REACH ANTON. SHE GIVES ME THE CREEPS.

WHY DON'T WE PUT HER IN FRONT OF IT?

AS BAIT?

YES, BUT-- YOU'VE SEEN WHAT IT CA DO.

ANTON'S IN THERE.

ALRIGH IF WE CAT PICKR THE BIO STAT

SOMEBODY HAS TO ACCOMPANY HER.

I WILL; AND I THINK SHE TRUSTS ME.

LET'NOT SAPPOINT HER.

*

*

I'M SURE YOU'LL BE PLEASED TO HEAR

THAT MY FRIEND HAS SHOWN UP SAFE.

SHE IS NOT YOUR FRIEND.

LISTEN,

WHEN YOU LOOKED INTO HER EYES,

DID YOU REALLY RECOGNIZE HER

OR DID SHE SEEM DIFFERENT?

SHE DID.

BE CAREFUL.

WHY?

ALL SHE WANTS NOW IS TO RETURN INTO THE ARCH.

SHE WILL TAKE ANYONE WITH HER IF SHE HAS TO.

WE'VE HAD A SECURITY BREACH.

THE FACILITY'S IN LOCKDOWN MODE; NO CALLS IN OR OUT.

YOU HAVE TO STOP THE TEST. DO I?

SIR, I HAVE NEW INFORMATION.

WHICH I LOOK FORWARD TO REVIEWING AT THE PROPER TIME.

FRANK.

CURTIS, THE TEST WILL PROCEED.

IT IS EVERYTHING THAT YOU AND I HAVE WORKED TOWARD.

GOOD NIGHT.

SIR?

*

HERE I AM.

YOU WANT ME?

HERE I AM.

YOU'RE GONNA TALK TO YOUR PARTNER.

STAY CLOSE.

I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING.

LET ME LOOK.

I'M SEEING POWER SURGES.

LINDSAY,

STAY PUT, DON'T MOVE.

BOYS, WHAT'S GOING ON?

THE RIVERS OF LIGHT.

DO YOU SEE ANTON?

NO, I NEVER SAW HIM.

CAN YOU FEEL IT?

CAN YOU FEEL THE COMPLETION THAT COMES FROM WITHIN?

I MUST GO CLOSER.

NO.

COME WITH ME.

ONCE YOU STEP THROUGH YOU'LL SEE.

COME WITH ME.

OH GOD.

OH GOD.

OH, MAN.

THEY'RE IMPLODING!

LINDSAY, GET CLEAR.

WE MUST GO NOW.

NO, JOANNE.

HOLD ON, JOANNE.

NO, DON'T GO.

HANG ON.

WE'RE SECURE, BUT SHE'S NOT HERE.

OKAY, YEAH, THANKS RAY.

THERE'S NO SIGN OF HER ON SITE.

WE'VE GOTTA FIND HER.

TRY AGAIN.

IT'S WHAT ANTON WOULD HAVE WANTED.

NO, HE WOULD WANT US TO LEAVE THIS ALONE.

NOT TO RISK ANY MORE LIVES.

"ABOVE ALL, DO NO HARM."

MAYBE WE WERE LOOKING ONLY FOR THE ANSWERS WE WANTED:

ANYTHING THAT LEAD US TO ANTON.

JOANNE TOLD US WHAT WE WANTED TO HEAR.

JOANNE, YEAH.

WE CAN'T EVEN PROVE SHE WAS EVEN HERE TODAY.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I TOUCHED HER.

YOU HELD HANDS-- YOU HEARD HER HEARTBEAT.

SHE DIDN'T REGISTER ON ANY MACHINES.

BUT YOU HEARD IT.

MACHINES MALFUNCTION.

ALL OF THEM?

THE BIO STATS?

THE VIDEO RECORDERS?

HER PHONE CALLS.

WE SAW AN ECHO.

LIKE A FORM OF HAUNTING.

A SIGNAL GROWING FAINTER.

NOW HOW DO WE FIND ANTON?

MAYBE WE DON'T.

NO.

JOANNE APPORTED UP NORTH,

ANTON HAD TO HAVE APPORTED SOMEWHERE.

WHERE THEN?

WHERE DID ANTON GO?

SOMEWHERE.

WE ALL GO SOMEWHERE.

*

*

JOANNE?

*

*

*

JOANNE.
