- Previously on 'Debris'... - Despite the coalition, I expect the Americans to put their interests first, just like we have. - How is it working out with Finola? - She's settling in. - Why do you do this? - I want to be sure the good guys get this technology before anyone else. - It was found on a roof on a farm in Wisconsin. - Yeah, we'll take that one too. - Whoever they are, they have something we don't. - Isn't that why you're here? - There are billions of stars, billions of planets. The odds that this debris found us are impossible. I think what we're doing here will change the course of humanity. - George Jones, he's alive. - That's impossible. - MI6 stays out of it. - Do you know what you're asking me to do? It's her father. - I know you can handle it. (CAR ALARMS BLARE) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (RATTLES) (OMINOUS MUSIC) (MUSIC BUILDS) (PIANO MUSIC) Captions by Able.

Cadillacs, they had a trim line called the Fleetwood after Fleetwood, Pennsylvania. The Fleetwood Brougham, big car in the '80s. And, of course, Peeps. Insane for Peeps. - What's a Peep? - Come on. You've never had a Peep? - No. - A little marshmallow candy? - No, I've never eaten a Peep. - Wow. Cracklike. Some people think they taste better when they're stale. I happen to be one of those people. - So, what, like there's some whole secret Peeps subculture, then? - You have no idea what you're missing. We owe the people of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania a great deal of gratitude, and I'm not afraid to say it. Everything OK? - Yeah, yeah, I'm just, um, trying to connect with my sister. I'm a little worried, actually. I've still got some fires going on back in London. What's up? - Nothing, it's just` It's like, a complex situation. We've never really got along, and dealing with my dad's estate... (IMITATES EXPLOSION) Been here three weeks, feels like three years. (FOREBODING MUSIC) - (SIGHS) Looks like this has already hit the local news. - What are we gonna go with this time, gas leak? - 'The Russian Space Agency struggles to control experimental rocket.' - Fantastic. We're gonna blame the Russians. (HELICOPTER WHIRRS) - Lester. - Bryan. - Agent Jones. - Hey. Finola. - Here's what we know so far. An upper atmosphere research satellite clocked a close flyby. Picked up a signature like a piece of Debris. It entered our atmosphere. Based on witness accounts, it landed somewhere in the town around 1AM. We evacuated all residents, but haven't located the Debris. As the sun came up, all this metal began to move from the town and form the line. - Does it have something to do with the sun, or is it coincidentally as morning was happening? - We don't know. - And only objects made of metal? - Metal, alloys. Seems that way. - Is it a magnetic field? - We're not picking any up, and it's not affecting all metals. It seems to be selective, like it's choosing what it wants. - I've never seen Debris have an effect like this. Lester, do we have to suit up? - Clocked in at 23. They're just finishing testing. Nothing sinister. - Nothing sinister. (KNOCK ON DOOR) - Hey. How are you? - Hey. Sorry I'm late. Those oversight guys run on their own schedule. It's the new normal at the CIA. - It was bad when I left. Here. Have a Rolaid. - Thanks. How's the family? - (SIGHS) You know. What can I tell ya? It is what it is. - Have a seat. Is this true? - As far as we know. George Jones is alive. - What happened to his eye? - We don't know. - Well, who are these people? They're recovering the Debris, but to what end? Are they selling it? To the Russians, the Chinese? Are they` Are they terrorists? - Not entirely clear, but it seems that they are very, very well funded. - Well, how does George play into this? - We're looking into that, too. - He was buried five months ago. How is this even possible? - We're looking into it, Harris. - (SIGHS) What does this mean as far as all the information George holds about the Debris? - Well, we have to assume it means they know what we have. What we want, what we` what we're trying to build. Harris. He wrote the whole playbook. - I know. - Listen to me. I'm gonna get answers. But my hands are gonna get a bit dirty. Including with the Brits. - Well, it's your division. And, uh... as far as I or the director knows, you are on a... journey. You're so astounded by the sights you're seeing that you haven't found time to call home yet. (OMINOUS MUSIC) - OK, sats have got us. Take the north east corner. - Copy, Jones. Over here. (INSTRUMENT TRILLS) - Nothing. - All right, I'm getting a ton of disturbance. Can you, um` Can you get some Graders? (TAPS) - What's your name? - Um, Eric. - What's your last name? - Um... I` I don't... I don't remember. - You can't remember your last name? - I can't remember. OK? - Do you live in this town? - Yes, I live here. - Why didn't you comply with the evacuation? You should be in Reading. - I just need to do something. - It is not safe for you to be here right now. - I'm just` I'm trying to figure something out, and then and then I will leave. OK? - What are you trying to figure out? - I mean, I don't even know if I want to do it. You know what I mean? Like when you, uh... When` When you, um... Uh... When you, uh` When you can't decide, I, uh` OK, how about this. Give me 30 minutes to think it over, and then I will go, I swear. OK? You don't understand. Please. - Hey, hey. What's got you so upset? - Watch him for a moment. - I think the Debris is affecting him. I mean, something's going on with him. He hasn't even said a word about the moving metal, which is kind of hard to miss, don't you think? Maybe we should get Chin to run more tests before we continue in here. - I'll cut bait if you want to. - Give me two seconds to think about this. Please. - Let's, um... Let's just look out for each other. Yeah? Kazemi, can you take him to base for an eval? - Copy. - You can't do that. Please, just let me go. Please, just let me go, OK? I'll remember. Please! Please. I'll remember. I'll remember. Please. I just` Just give me two seconds to think about it! You can't do this to me! Please! - Hey, Bryan. Look at this. Updated sat scans. - It's encircling the town. - Yeah. Like it's meant to keep people out. (DARK MUSIC BUILDS) - Brandt, I can't hear you. Can you say that again? - We've got a bit of cellular disruption. Do you copy? - Affirmative. We're running all the equipment right now. Are you getting it? - Didn't get that, Bryan. Go again. - We're running all the equipment. Are you receiving? - Yeah. We're still not getting any Debris signatures, but another part of the wall is being constructed on the northeast side of town. - OK. We'll head out, take a look. (SCRAPES) Don't bother. There's no signal here. I'm sure she'll call. - Do you have siblings? - No. She's just... She's so hard to deal with. My dad really left me holding the bag with her, and that wasn't... I don't know. I haven't really gotten over that. - When was the last time you saw your father? - I, uh... spent all night with him with his body in the morgue. And I just keep thinking about the last thing he ever texted me. I didn't realize it at the moment, but by the time that I had... read it, he had already taken his own life. - What did he say? - 'You are not alone.' I spent that whole week trying to find my sister to tell her he was dead. She was strung out in some house somewhere. I've never felt more alone in my life. (CAR ALARM BLARES) (POUNDS) - Hey. Hey! - Hey! Hey! Hey! Relax. - Hey! Hey! Hey! Slow down. Slow down. - Hey. - Easy. Slow down. - What did you do to the agents you were with? - I left my phone at home. - Why is there blood on your clothes? I was trying to get to a meeting, but all the cars were locked. I` She tried to stop me! She forced my hand. - Bryan to base camp. Do you copy? - I couldn't let her get in my way. - We have a person of interest, over. - 15 people for this job. Me! - I need you to send in whoever you have available to try to locate Agent Kazemi. We lost contact. Copy? - Mr. Woo from head office! - Eric. Eric! We are here to help you. - How do you know my name? - How do you know my name? - Do you not remember talking to us? Do you not remember that? - Who are you people? Huh? How do you know my name? (METAL CREAKS) (INTENSE MUSIC) - (PANTS) (METAL CLANKS) Hey. Hey! Stop! Stop! Stop! Come on. (INTENSE MUSIC) Oh! (OMINOUS MUSIC) (OMINOUS MUSIC CONTINUES) (CAR ALARM IN DISTANCE) (CAR ALARM BLARES) - Don't move. I got him. - Well... that's crazy. I've got him, too. - Please. I just need to find something. Then I'll leave. (HELICOPTER PASSING OVERHEAD) - Man, am I glad you're OK. - How many are there? - So far? Three. Including yours. - I can't get it out of my head. What's the right thing to do? I don't know. What is` I` I don't know what to do. - We know this man has been cloned. More importantly, why is the Debris cloning him? - He must have come in contact with it. So maybe it's forming a circle to protect the clones. - Yeah. Or the cloning process. Maybe. Let's find out what they know. Kazemi, stick with yours in lab three. I'm gonna take lab two. - I got trailer one. - Learn what you can. - OK. - (GRUNTS) Come on. Ah! I have to go! (GRUNTS) I can't miss this, I'm supposed to be there! I need to leave! Now! Ow! What'd you do to me? - Pulseox normal. BP elevated, cortisol levels off the chart. - I need you to try and tell me what's the last thing you remember? - What are you trying to work out, Eric? - Just let` I just` I'm just saying that I` I have to weigh the pros and cons. - The only way that we can help you is if you answer our questions. - I have to find it. I just I just want to fix this. - What is it you are trying to find? - This could be` This could be really bad. I` I just I can't I can't get it out of my head. - Try and concentrate on our questions. - What's the right thing to do? Nobody` Nobody works as hard as me. I need to go ace this presentation, all right? Otherwise, Johnny gets the corner office. Mr Woo likes him better. His PowerPoints, they're great! - Eric, focus. What do you remember? - Look, this is a` this is a decision that is going to affect everything! - Where were you before we found you at the warehouse? - Just... (SOBS) It hurts. It hurts so much. - What does? - I'm talking about accomplishments! I'm talking about the ladder rung! I'm talking about a mountain to climb! - I'm trying to find out what happened to you. - I need to evaluate. OK? Is it right? Is it wrong? What is too much? Maybe it's not enough. It just keeps... (STAMMERS) It's spinning! I'm trying to have my own identity! - Eric, calm down. I just have to change this. - OK. OK. - Listen, you gotta let me go. You gotta let me go. - Calm down. - I have to succeed. I have to succeed. - He's crashing. I have to succeed. I have to change this. I have to change this! - He's breaking down. - I'm right here. Look at me. Look at me. (MONITOR FLATLINES) - I have to change this! - I am right here. I'm right here. Look at me. Look at me. - (PANTS) - Breathe. Can you hear me? Breathe. Breathe. OK. OK. (MONITOR BEEPS) - Did you find the ball of light? - What ball of light? - (SOBS) - Hey. It's OK. - I made a mistake. I` I had it all. And now it's lost. - What did you lose? - Her. What we have is real. Everything else... ...is not. - Well, maybe yours is the original, and that's why he's still alive. - I don't think any of them are the original. - Why not? - Genetically, they're identical, but none of them were emotionally fully formed. I think what we're seeing are three different fragments of one guy's personality. Maybe the original Eric they came from is still in the town. They're dying, maybe he's dying. I mean, they were cloned from him. - Do you think they're still connected to him? - (SIGHS) I don't know. - They say when you're dying your life flashes before your eyes. Think about your biggest regrets. - Mine was freaked out about professional goals. Yours was weighing some major decision. What was yours? - He lost a girl. It's like they all haven't reconciled with something. He did also ask me about a ball of light. - What does that mean? - I have no idea. (CELL PHONE CHIMES) - Prints came back. His name is Eric King. - This must be the girl he was talking about. Wow. He posted a few days ago that he's no longer in a relationship, and just got a job in San Francisco. (CELL PHONE VIBRATES) - Brandt. - It's not just making a ring around part of the town. It's actually forming a mathematically perfect circle. I'm sending you the coordinates now. - We've got something. The centre of the circle that's forming around the town - Yeah? - It's Eric's home address. - As you know, the buyer that teleported into the pillar is ex SAS. We haven't been able to identify the others from the hotel, but we have seen the one in the centre before, though. He's travelled through Lisbon on a different alias last week than the one you said he gave at JFK. Our alliance is coming up on seven months now, and if you recall, a few weeks ago we talked about the need for greater transparency to move forward without stagnation. know you care about Bryan, like I care about Finola. And with the two of them in the field, it is more important now than ever to show all cards. - Priya, it's in both of our interests to find out who these new players are. What do you think I'm holding back? - Are you alone? - Yes. - Well, with that in mind, we've only just received this information. We think he's part of a group calling themselves Influx. They are actively seeking Debris. From what we know, they're not affiliated with any government, and their financing seems to be independent. We've got the BDO Financial Crime and Fraud Investigations looking into their money. And I'll keep you up to speed when we know more. - As will I. - (SIGHS) Dig into this Influx thing. (OMINOUS MUSIC) (ATMOSSPHERIC MUSIC) - This is it. - What have we got? - 540. (ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC CONTINUES) (ATMOSPHERIC MUSIC CONTINUES) (LOUD THUD) - I'll check it out. (BREATHES HEAVILY) - Base camp. Over. (STATIC) Base camp. Over. (DISTORTED RADIO) - Bryan, do you copy? (STATIC) - We've located the Debris. It looks like he was injured on impact. There's some blood. He's no longer here. - (OVER RADIO) Agent Chin has arrived at base camp. (THUDS) - Hey! Get out! Move. Slowly. What's your name? - I don't know. - On the ground. (DISTORTED RADIO BROADCAST) (TENSE MUSIC BUILDS) - I can't let it go. (PANTS) - (PANTS) - Nobody goes in the basement without a vector suit. - OK. Let's go. (BEEPS) - Let's try 60 to start, OK? (LOUD RUMBLE) - (GASPS, PANTS) - Who the` Who are you guys? No! No! - (GRUNTS) - Just calm down. Get off me! Get off of me! - We are not going to harm you. We've got him, Chin. - It's not responding to shut down protocols. - Try 75 to overload, and then do another V intercept. (BREATHES HEAVILY) He definitely made it out of here on his own. He got up and walked away. Bryan. Finola to Bryan. Hey, Kazemi. - (OVER RADIO) Go for Kazemi. - I've found a blood trail down here. I think he fled. Can you search the surrounding area? There's a lot of blood, and I don't think he could have gone far. - Copy. - OK, I'm coming up. (CELL PHONE VIBRATES) - Oh, I'm sorry. Can you just grab that? OK. Thank you. Dee Dee. - You're becoming a pest now. Spam caller leaving so many messages. - Yeah, well, I've been worried about you. All right? I just want to make sure you're OK. - Hm. I wasn't the one who ran off, and followed Dad's work to America. - Dee Dee, that's not fair. And you didn't answer my question. It's 2AM for you. Are you OK? - You don't have to keep asking me that. - Well, I do if you're not going to answer any of my calls. It's important that we stay together and keep connected. - Sorry, I don't understand. You're saying that you want to be together, but you're saying that you can't come home. But you're saying that it's important for us to be connected. - You know what I mean, Dee. We just have to just pull ourselves together and just stop fighting. Dad is the one that left us in this hole, OK? Because I am going through the same exact thing you are. - I don't care what the report said. Dad would never do this. - Yes, well, he did, Dee! (SIGHS) I'm sorry. - Can't I just see you? I mean, can't you just come home? - I can't. I can't just get on a plane... when I'm on a case. If I call you later, will you answer? - Yeah. - I love you. - I love you. - Got you lined up, Dee Dee. (SOMBRE MUSIC) (GENTLE MUSIC) (MUSIC CONTINUES) - Hey. Eric walked away from the impact. - Uh, Kazemi told me. They're still searching. - Um, you know, I was thinking with the clones, the order in which the first two died. - Yeah? - Let's say they were connected to Eric. Maybe if he is out there dying, he's... surrendering parts of himself that matter the least. - Basically, when you're dying, you're freezing to death out in the elements, your body will give up the unnecessary parts to protect the most important thing. - Yeah. Your heart. - If that's true, then he's out there hanging on to what matters most. - You know, I can't help but wonder what aspect of you I would have seen in your clone that matters most. Because you're more than just a Federal agent. But it's the only thing you show me` - Right. - And that is the least important thing. - OK, well, shoot. I've told you that I'm from Texas, my parents still live there, I went to school there, joined the Marines, told you how I see the world, I don't have any brothers and sisters. So, what else do you want to know? - Who was in the picture you were looking at? Why do you carry it with you? - Another time. (CELL PHONE VIBRATES) - Yeah, Kazemi. - We found something in Eric's garage. - His car was here. - And he's lost a lot of blood. (INSTRUMENTS WARBLES) (WHOOSHING NOISE, THUD) - So he comes to in the basement, makes his way to the garage, struggles to the car, and then the blood stops. - It's still trying to function, even though we're disabling it. - Well, he got in the car, that's for sure. (WHOOSHING NOISE, THUD) - It got dragged with him in it. He's still gotta be in there, in a part of the circle near here. (WHOOSHING NOISE, THUD) (INTENSE MUSIC BUILDS) - (SIGHS) - It's not here. - Well, it has to be. - Bryan! That's his car. I got it. Eric! I'm here! I got you! We're gonna get out of here. Eric, wake up! (INTENSE MUSIC BUILDS) - What the hell was that? - Hey! (WHOOSHS) (CRASH) - Uh... Uh, base camp. Base camp, I'm seeing light, in like, uh, a pulse. Bryan! Bryan! Yeah, it is travelling the circle. It is compacting the circle. (WHOOSH) - Hey. Hey! - It's like its contracting to protect itself as we shut it down. - Well, why hasn't it been shut down yet? Shut it down! Bryan is inside! Eric! - I can't shut it down any faster. - Hey! - Shut it down! - Hey! Let's get out of here! - Oh! Bryan! Bryan, can you hear me? Bryan! Bryan! Are you OK? Ah! (PANTS, EXHALES) OK. - Eric? Hey! Can you hear me? Can you hear me? Hey! Come on! Hey. Can you hear me? - Who are you? I'm a Federal agent. I'm gonna check on the medevac. - Hey. - (BREATHES HEAVILY) There's something I... There's something I have to do. - What is it you have to do? Was it about a job? - It was. But not anymore. I have to find someone. - I think she helped you to hang on. She saved your life. (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) - Stay. (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) (INSTRUMENT TRILLS) - Are you all right? - Am I ever all right? I shot myself today. - Well, that must be hard, seeing the person you love most in the world dead. - The healing will be slow. - So, you got anything for me? - Finola told me that she sat with her father's body at the morgue after he died. How's that possible? - Weren't you just dealing with clones? - Not the kind that you could use. Is that what you're thinking? - Well, we will know soon enough. - What does that mean? - I just sent a team to London to dig up George Jones. I'll keep you posted. - I gotta go. - (SIGHS) Here you go. (GENTLE PIANO MUSIC) I asked them to get the stalest ones they could find. Mm. Hm. Peeps. - Buckle up. - (OVER RADIO) Possible secondary anomaly detected approaching exosphere. (BEEP) Entering the thermosphere over the North Atlantic. (BEEP) Unable to confirm with visual observation. Extrapolating trajectory to determine approximate Debris field. (BEEP) Captions by Able. Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air.
