(OMINOUS MUSIC) - Previously on Debris... - There are billions of stars, billions of planets. The odds that this Debris found us are impossible. - This was found on a roof on a farm in Wisconsin. - Yeah, we'll take that one too. - We think he's part of a group calling themselves Influx. They are actively seeking Debris. It is more important now than ever to show all cards. - George Jones. He's alive. MI6 stays out of it. - It's her father. Do you know what you're asking me to do? - Let's just look out for each other. - Where was the last time you saw your father? - In the morgue. - She sat with her father's body after he died. How is that possible? - I just sent a team to London to dig up George Jones. - Buckle up. - (OVER RADIO) Jim, keep an eye on the 417. I'm telling you, there's a hang-up there. - Roger that, Cal. I see it. Be right back. - Cal, it's Katie. I got a faulty swing switch on the second box at Glen Road. - You want me to send Ernie? He's sitting right beside me. - Nah, he'll just mess things up worse than they are. - He heard that. - Is he laughing? - He says you're making your own dinner tonight. - Oh, so it's gonna be good for a change? - Ooh! I think I'm gonna switch channels, for the good of the both of you. - It's just getting good. I'm not leaving until they get divorced. (STATIC) - Come on, Kevin. Back to work. (GARBLED TRANSMISSIONS CONTINUE) - Hey, Cal? (RADIO STATIC CRACKLES) Cal? Cal? (OMNIOUS MUSIC) (OMNIOUS MUSIC CONTINUES) - (PANTS) (THEME MUSIC) Captions by Able. Captions were made with the support of NZ On Air. www.able.co.nz Copyright Able - How's he doing? - He's OK. Normal. As normal as can be expected. However it cloned him, the exposure had no impact on his biology. - Good. OK. - He can get back out there. - Thanks, Karen. Wow. You're a vision. - These are drafty. - Yeah. - Not gonna lie. - They wear well, though. - Appreciate that. Have you heard anything in London about George Jones? - Spec ops is on the ground. Exhuming him tomorrow. We're gonna get to the bottom of it. Promise. - I've been thinking. Finola. If MI6 knew that her father was still alive, they would take her out of here. We need to get her home before this becomes an issue. We can do that, right? I don't know, maybe we get that, uh... that creepy Dutch guy back. - You hated the creepy Dutch guy. - He was adorable. This is going to affect her. - Listen. We're just gonna have to sit on this for a little while, OK? See what happens. - Hmm. Got it. (CELLPHONE BUZZES) They're waiting on me. - All right. - Thank you. - Hey, how'd it go? I was worried. - Shipshape. Sometimes you get lucky. Looks like I'm gonna be around a little while. You were born under a lucky star. - Oh! So you're saying that I am the lucky one? Gentlemen, how are you? - You good? - Spectacular. We're heading to Minnesota. I love Minnesota. - Uh, except we are going to Ohio. Some phenomenon in a cell tower field. There's not much information as yet. The situation team is on their way. - Anything hit the ground last night? - No, not that we caught. - Um, thank you. Seriously, for, uh... worrying about me. Yeah. Of course. - I'm gonna get a little sleep. I'm beat. (SUSPENSFUL MUSIC) - Hey. Hey. - Hey. Did you get my email? - In the file it said a utility worker was doing repair work on cell phone towers. - Yeah. She turned, and it was just there. In the field. - Where is it? - Well, that's the thing. It just vanished. Took this when we first got here 30 minutes ago. (LOW OSCILLATING HUM) - They're trying to get out. Do you hear that sound? - That only shows up on the recording. We didn't hear anything like that on site. - Have we found Debris? - Not yet. No signatures. - OK. Uh, let's do some GPR out here too. It's gotta be somewhere. I'm gonna check out the field. It's gonna be dark soon. (OMNIOUS MUSIC) The square appeared in the northeast areas of the field, consisting of two dimensions. Initial reports indicate LDRs were zero. At timestamp marker 3:04, beings of an unknown origin are observable. Agent Beneventi noted the beings appear to be trying to get out. And I agree. - (OVER THE RADIO) Hello? Is anyone out there? Hello? Is anyone out there? - This got recorded when I was doing notes. - Hello? Is anyone out there? Hello? - That's from the static at the LDU? - Yeah. - Is anyone out there? - But listen to the oscillations. - Hello? - It's the same oscillations on the video of the square. - Is anyone out there? - It's one of the beings from inside the square. - The square's not here anymore. - Some of our guys picked up a voice transmission on their LDUs. - Yeah, we heard it too. - This is Muntz. - Play it. - I can see you. I can see lights. I can see lights! - Maybe what we're hearing is a reverberation from when the square was here. Maybe what we're hearing is somehow out of sync? No way. She said, 'I see your lights'. 'I see your lights.' There were never lights on when the square was here. It was daytime. - Could it be that it's still here, but it's not visible? - I'm getting it again. (RADIO STATIC) - (OVER RADIO) I can see someone out there. I can see people. Can anyone hear me? - We need to find a way to broadcast back to it. - Can you hear me? - We've never used the Laghari spectrum for communication. - We need to try and answer them. - What's happening? - They're only built as receivers. - I can see you! Please, help me. - We have to make contact. (KNOCKS ON DOOR) - Here you go. Try this. Relays can give you a little more control over the modulation. - Where did you get the parts to make this? - I don't know, from one of these yellow cases in the truck. I had to make do. - That was a million-dollar piece of equipment. - Wow. This is a nice spot. Got a lot of gadgets. - I've come across plenty like you. Men who have also played by their own rules. Did you ever encounter an agent named Kelvin? - Uh... Kelvin... Can't say that I have. Why? - He was sure he could pick up a piece of Debris that hadn't been fully vetted. He was turned inside out. - Well... one of my tips for survival, Muntz, is always let the other guy touch the Debris first. (BURST OF STATIC) - Bryan, the square, it's here. - The square's back. The square's back up. Come on! - Here. - Hello. Can you hear me? Hello, can you hear me? - Yes. Can you see me? - Yes, I can see you. She can't hear us. - Let me try something. - Quickly. - I'm doing what I can. - What's your name? (RADIO STATIC) The signal, it's getting weaker. - Any degree signatures, Huerta? - Nothing. - They gotta be here. Where is it? If there's no Debris, how the hell is this happening? - What's your name? - My name is Nicole Hegmann. - Who are the people that are with you? (STATIC CRACKLES) - No one is with me. - It's as if she can't see them. - Can you tell me where you're from? - What happened to me? What's happening? (STATIC, FEEDBACK) - Nicole Hegmann is a real missing person. She vanished from Saline, Michigan in 2019. I don't know how that's possible. The Debris only started falling six months ago. - Thank you. Keep the change. (PHONE RINGS) - (OVER THE PHONE) Come further to the intersection. See the black Audi? (SUSPENSFUL MUSIC) Do you mind if we talk here? Better than a restaurant, I think, hmm? - I, uh, admire your situational awareness. - This is what you're looking for? The Chinese claim they have it. - The Chinese claim a lot of things. Listen, Tarkolov, we're all just trying to assemble these pieces so that we can figure this technology out. They wanna call it an arms race? They're right. - And the cards on your table? - I don't know why this piece is important to Russia, and I don't wanna know. Anja said you were interested in a trade. Was she wrong? - 2.30 next Friday. Turn on the phone I gave you. I'll have the answer if we can get it done. (ENGINE STARTS) - Why hasn't it reappeared? It makes no sense. Maybe the people in there are all missing persons. But how come we can't hear all of them? Why is it only her? - Hmm. - And how come... she can see us, but she can't see anybody else in there with her? - I don't know. Maybe they're all on different frequencies? Like a walkie-talkie? We just happened to pick up hers in the white noise. - What is it? - I think it's some sort of portal. - There are these Native American legends that tell stories of people who encounter natural arches in the landscape where they passed through, and they never returned. Maybe it's something like that. - You said you think it might still be here, but we can't see it. - Do you believe that? - I don't know. My dad did. - The universe is not limited to the three dimensions that we can see. That there may be as many as 11 dimensions. And most of these dimensions are compactified, or` or curled up so small that we can neither see nor reach them. What if I were to tell you that these curled up dimensions could be uncurled? That there are places in our world where they've already done so. Access points. Access points to vast stretches of what you might call unoccupied real estate... waiting for someone to figure out how to use them. - Hey. So, um... maybe Nicole walked into one of these things, and the Debris is showing it to us? - Yeah, but we don't have any Debris. - Then how are we seeing it? Your father was just saying we can't see them. The Debris, it has to be` - Yeah, I'm sorry. Excuse me. (SNIFFS) - (SIGHS) - That there are places in our world where they've already done so. Access points. Wait for someone to figure out how to use them. (SUSPENSFUL MUSIC) (AMBIENT MUSIC) - I'm sorry that I upset you. - Yeah, that's OK. I just realized, I'm just... so mad at him. But I just forget how much I miss him. And I just wish I could, um... speak to him.... one more time. Anyway, the one good thing about the possibility of my father's theory being true, is if Nicole and the others inadvertently found their way into another dimension, well, there must be a way to get them out. - Your father created a US Access Point Map in his files. I cross checked the coordinates of the dimension sites and one of them is in Saline, Michigan, where Nicole vanished. And another... is here. In this field. Your father was right. They exist. - Access points waiting for someone to figure out how to use them. We have to embrace that our universal geometry may be much larger than we ever conceived. - I have an idea. Bryan, open up the specimen fridge over there. There's a rectangular blue container. Bring it to me. - We can't locate Debris. I have nothing to study. I can't learn anything about the so-called access point. We're only seeing the square in two dimensions. But for Nicole, no one knows what she's experiencing. If we can maintain unbroken communication with her, I can try and understand what she's seeing inside. Maybe I can use the information to help her. - When she was emotional, the signal tended to be stronger. - Can you get her to that emotional state and keep her there? - Um... Yeah. I might have a way. - Why am I here? What's this about? - Mr. Hegmann` - They show up at my house, and then they put me on a helicopter with no answers. They tell me you have information about my daughter. Is she alive? - We are still gathering information. - Why don't you come in to the trailer, and we can sit down and talk? - Yeah. - Who are you people? - We work for a division of the government that investigates scientific anomalies. - Your daughter. Tell me what happened the day she disappeared. - (SIGHS) I was in a store near my house. Shopping. She left to go wait in the car. When I got there, she was gone. It's torture to think what happened to her. It just... takes all of the joy out of your life, you know? Every time there's a knock on the door, or the phone... you're praying that it's her. (SIGHS) It's... It's just the not knowing, the... I mean, it was just her and me. My` My wife passed away when she was a child. (CHUCKLES) She was such a character. - Forgive me, Mr. Hegmann. Are you familiar with the Bermuda Triangle? The concept? - (SCOFFS) Of course. - Now, we believe that there other places like that. - We think your daughter, Nicole, entered such a place the day she went missing. - And we think she's communicating with us from inside. (LOW OSCILLATING HUM) - Hello? Is anyone out there? Is there anyone out there? I can see someone out there. I can see the lights. - (GASPS) - Help me! - (GASPS, SOBS) Is it there now? - We just can't see it. - I felt she was alive. I felt it. I still felt connected to her. - What do you mean? - I have these recurring dreams about her. - What kind of dreams? - I would go to the parking lot where she disappeared. I'm alone. I wait there. I knew I just had to wait. And Nicole comes and finds me. We just hold each other. Then I wake up and... I feel connected to her again. - Richard, we sent for you, because we are hoping that if we can establish communication again with Nicole, hearing your voice will intensify her emotional state, and we think it will help the signal that we are communicating to her with to become stronger. - It will give our scientists a better chance of asking her important questions and analysing what to do. - Can I get closer to it? - Yeah. - You're gonna start in on how he felt she was alive, right? About how his dreams told him that? - I mean, like gravity is an unseen force... but it's here. Maybe the bonds that we create with each other, maybe they're just as strong. (DEVICE BEEPS) - Muntz! Muntz! (ALARM BLARES) - Dad? Can you hear me? - Nicole? That's my daughter in there. Nicole? - Dad? Dad, I can see you. - Can you hear me? Nicole? - Dad? Dad? Can you hear me? - Nicole, I'm here. - Ask her what she sees. - Can you describe what you're seeing? - I'm so scared. - I'm here. You gotta stay strong and listen to me. - Ask her how she got in there. Is she able to walk around the square? - How did you get in there? - I don't know. - Tell me what happened to you. - I was walking in the parking lot back to the car, and I turned and realised I was alone. And then I saw this field. It was never there before. I` I walked to it. But now I` I can't get back. and I've been walking around trying to for a few hours. - She thinks she's only been gone for a few hours. How is that possible? - Then I found this barrier, and I can see the shapes of people outside. (CRIES) I don't know. I don't know where I am. - Ask her, does she see any discrepancies in the light? Is there anything that she can identify? - Is there anything more you can tell us about what you see? Can you see anything other than a field? - Dad? Dad, please don't leave! - What's happening to her? - Dad? Dad, I can't see you! Dad, I love you! - I love you! (INTENSE MUSIC) - Here. - Ah, thank you. When I said I loved her... do you think she heard me? I never I told her I loved her enough. It was always on my mind when I lost her. - She heard you. - It's conceivable time doesn't flow at the same rate when you move through another dimension. - But if time is moving at a different rate, how are we able to communicate? Why are we synced? - I don't have an answer for you. We can't save her. Even when the connection to her is strong, the square shuts down for some reason. - There's a way. - Even if I could understand it` - Mm-hmm. - I don't know how to stabilise it. Nothing in this world can stabilise it. Since we don't have the Debris... - Yeah. I can't determine how it becomes visible. (CELLPHONE CHIMES) - Hey, Linda, what's up? - I'm sorry to call, Craig. I'm still with Dario, but my daughter's school called, and I have to get there now. - Isn't Julia home? - She texted saying she'll be late. I keep texting her, but she doesn't respond. - OK, I'll come home. One second. - Deputy Director Grohl is on his way up. - OK, Linda. Give me 20 minutes. I'm on my way. - OK. - Hey. - Oh, hey. - Is this a bad time? - Uh, kinda. I gotta get home. A family thing. You wanna walk me downstairs? - Well, this'll just take a second. I think we're better off in here. - OK. What's up? - Tarkolov is in the United States. - Is the intel ours? - Yeah, we put eyes on him a few hours ago, and I thought you'd wanna be aware. This can't be good. - OK. All right. Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into it. - Keep me posted. (CELLPHONE CHIMES) (FOREBODING MUSIC) - Recalibrate and cycle the frequency range. See what you can pick up. It worked in Milwaukee. I'm not saying this is the same thing, but it's worth a shot, right? - Copy that, Bryan. - Team 2, copy. - Bryan, we've got something. Got a few waves coming in, but not consistent. - How many hits did you get? - Been picking them up off and on for the last three minutes. - So let's go check it out. Hey. Let's get the team together. - OK. Let's go. (INTENSE MUSIC) - Looks like we're not the only ones who found the Debris. - Call it in to base camp. - Base camp, base camp, come in. - How we doing, Huerta? - Yeah, we're good. Only clicking in at 110. - This has to be Influx. No one else could have gotten here this fast. - Clear. - They must have heard us coming. (SUSPENSFUL MUSIC) (MUSIC BUILDS) - The connection is too far away to be stable. But this Debris has been showing us the access point in the field from this location. - Why? - Maybe it's some sort of navigation module? - Like a intergalactic GPS? - I don't know, but whatever it is, it's still trying to function, to do it's job with whatever power is left. - If what you're saying is correct, the spaceship used a different dimension to travel. And it opened the square as an access point. - Uh, can we make it reveal the square longer? Like you said, contact her and try to get her out? - The signal was weak. It barely held the image of the dimension. Whatever power it has left in it, we have to preserve it. We send it back to Orbital immediately. - (SCOFFS) No, we have to find a way to get Nicole and the others out. - What we're looking at are the first crumbs humanity has ever had about not only intergalactic travel, but extra-dimensional travel. We can't risk losing this technology by using it on these people. - If we're not willing to use this technology on these people, then we're not worthy to have it. - What if we reposition the Debris? Bring it closer, make the signal stronger. - We might be able to get a better signal and see more of the access point, if we can do that` -Great. We'll do that. Thank you. - (OVER RADIO) Hey, Bryan. - Yeah. - Yeah, plates are no good on the pickup, so we're gonna run the VIN. I'll let you know. - Another piece, but it's dead. No signatures. - (SIGHS) - We'll get it loaded up. - Wow. (INSTRUMENTS TRILL) - (WHISPERS) OK, OK. Yeah. (INSTRUMENT WARBLES) OK! (RADIO STATIC CRACKLES) - The perspective is shifting! - I changed the angle between the Debris and the square. It must illuminate the access point directly in front of it. I'll move in closer so we can see more. - I can see inside. It's changed! I can see someone! I can see inside! Wait, I can see them! I can see them! Keep going! Where's Nicole? Where is she? Nicole! Nicole! I see her! Nicole. Don't be frightened. Move through it. - I can't reach you. - She still can't get out. - Help me, please! Please! - She's still trapped. (DEVICE BEEPS) We're gonna lose it! - You said this piece might be used for transport. - Yeah. - If we breach the plane with a piece of the ship` - It could open up. - Tell Huerta to get the other piece of the Debris. - Hurry! (STATIC INTENSIFIES) The levels are climbing. - OK, let it enter the square. (PANTS) - Richard! Richard! - Dad! - You can't touch her. At least not yet. Hold on. - It's OK, Nicole. (GENTLE MUSIC) - We got them! We got all of them. - Where am I? - What's your name? - Jean Chen. - Where are you from, Jean? - Boise, Idaho. - We're gonna try to help you find your family. - What year is it? - 1976. - It's, uh... 1989. - You said you felt your time in there was short. - But... it felt like I was moving very slowly through that time. I... I was so... afraid. Lonely. That part felt like an eternity. I thought of you, Dad. I'd imagine that I would find you. You would be waiting for me in the parking lot. Standing there. You would be happy to see me. And we would just... hug. And it made me feel safe. - Thank you. (GENTLE MUSIC) - I realise I tend to forget that there's still magic to discover in the world. But not you. (SIGHS) - I do. (CELLPHONE BEEPS) We all do sometimes. Here. The pickup truck we found, it was stolen yesterday near the airport. - That's one of the guys from Influx in New York. How do they keep showing up? - Yes. - OK. You know, I'm gonna, um, update Ferris. (GENTLE MUSIC) (EXHALES) (CELLPHONE BUZZES) - What do you got? - There's a body in the grave, but it's not George Jones. - Are you sure? - I just sent you something. - What am I looking at? - We picked this up from the morgue. This was from the night that he washed ashore. She took his watch as a memento. - We just lost 24 minutes. - Mm-hmm. Keep watching as the ME puts him away. - His watch. Whoever replaced him didn't realise she took it. - Right. At this point, that's not him anymore. (FOREBODING MUSIC) - Breakage initially sighted 46 months ago. (BEEP) First atmospheric collision 18.06 over Iceland. (BEEP) Traveling in excess of 150,000 kilometres per hour. Earth-intersecting trajectory.
