| Helen Magnus responds to a call for help at an abandoned building, but discovers whoever made the call has a very different agenda. |
Cold open[]
[]
Title sequence[]
Act I[]
- I don't know. - "Coming in from the cold?"
I just feel like I'm in some sort of pulp spy novel from the '50s when you use those expressions.
And what's wrong with that?
Nothing. I just think maybe we could use expressions that are from this century, for those of us who were born more recently.
Yeah, but "Seeking Sanctuary" feels kind of on the nose.
Okay, well, how about we use Mafia terms, right? 'Cause they're timeless. Like "He's gotta get off the street," or, you know, "No, no, no, no, no, no, Frankie's going south."
Yes, Frankie will feel very safe with us.
Here it is.
Hardly worth it, really.
All right, I'm thinking this guy's some sort of lizard-type person.
Doesn't hide well in public.
Hence the stinky out-of-the-way meeting spot.
His message didn't specify his race.
Just that he needed our help.
You always think amphibian?
When I don't know what the creature is?
Yeah, I always go there.
Huh. Me too.
You two take the upper floors. Stay in radio contact.
All right.
And could you both try to be a bit more...
Welcoming?
Yes. Especially if he does end up being a lizard.
Hello?
Anybody here?
Why ask for help and then not show up?
Fear, maybe.
Of what?
That's a good freaking question.
Hello!
Come on out, little buddy.
We're friendly.
Just trying to be welcoming.
Yeah.
Nothing.
Oh, wait.
Huh.
Scanner's not liking something in here.
Yeah, it's EM interference.
There's a power station nearby. Could be that.
Or maybe someone doesn't want Fish Man found.
Yeah.
Doesn't look like anyone's been in here in years.
Is your scanner acting up?
Yeah, getting weird power spikes,
but then it corrects.
I'm getting a bad feeling about this place.
Thank you for saying it.
Okay, so we swept the third and fourth floor.
If our friend was here, I think he got cold feet...
Can't imagine why.
Plus, I hate this place.
Amen.
All right.
Meet me back at the main entrance.
With pleasure.
I'll have Henry run a diagnostic on the scanner malfunctions.
Who knows, maybe "seriously creepy" is a parameter.
The guy got afraid and didn't show.
Where's the mystery?
Katie...
There's always a mystery.
Uh-huh. That's adorable.
I say if Mr. Shy Guy really wants our help,
he'll reach out.
Until then, as much as I love it here...
Unless he was trying to warn us.
- Of what? - I don't know.
There's something odd going on here.
I can't quite put my finger on it.
Yeah. This whole building has weird juju, like people died here.
You want to stay?
We can have Henry and the Big Guy scan the place from top to bottom.
No, no, we'll head back.
I've left Tesla alone in the library too long.
We'll come back later with a full complement.
Who wants a late breakfast?
I'm starved.
- Ooh, yeah. - Food is a great call.
Oh, come on.
Will!
Kate!
So I heard this killer joke yesterday.
Hit me.
- Okay. Knock knock. - You serious?
- Just go with it, William. - Okay. Who's there?
Bloody hell.
What in God's name?
Hello?
Show yourself.
The only reason we're here
is because you called us for help.
Where are you?
Get off!
I mean you no harm.
I am not your enemy!
Who are you?
Helen. You look beautiful.
Act II[]
Who are you?
Wouldn't...
you...
like to know?
Hello.
You locked me in here.
Jammed my phone. Trapped me on purpose.
Basically, yes.
To make you feel good, having the upper hand?
Stop it!
You mean stop doing... this?
No. I've waited a long time for this.
I want it to last.
Gotcha.
How do you know me?
How indeed.
If you can keep your head
while all about you are losing theirs...
If you can trust yourself when all the men doubt you, if you can wait and not be tired of waiting...
Please. Listen to me.
...or being lied about!
What do you want?
Hologram for Dr. Magnus. Hello, I'm Helen Magnus. Sign here, please, would you, Ma'am.
Hologram. What hologram?
City hologram!
I don't know what you mean!
Hologram... City...
Please. I have no idea.
No, no, no. Focus. City. Hologram. Map. Had any visitors to the Sanctuary? Two friends of mine? Extremely pale?
It was you. You attacked Will.
You're welcome.
Stop hitting me.
All right.
I know about the city.
Good! Keystones. Location. Tell me.
I don't know anything about any keystones, I swear.
You have the map, yes? Had it for weeks now?
Have the map, yes?
Yes.
Studying it. Learning it, yes?
What we can. It's very complex.
Have you grown stupid?
Keystones. Location. Coordinates.
We've been studying the map, but honestly, we've found nothing about any keystones.
Oh, Gregory! He sends you this glorious message, and you don't even receive it properly.
You know my father?
Did you at least understand
what you were looking at?
Hollow Earth! Yes, it's underground! Bravo!
You want to know how to get to the city.
By way of the... Come on, say it. Say it.
Give the lady a prize.
I may know something about them. You obviously know more about the city than I do. Perhaps you could give me more details.
Oh, shut up! Just shut up! Do you think I'm a fool?
Oh, you actually don't know, do you? Oh, God, the woman doesn't know. You haven't done your homework. I'm very disappointed. Well, then, guess we're done.
Ouch.
Here's... Johnny!
Nice.
First attack here...
Second here...
Third.
He needs an open area to operate.
What in heaven's name?
Careless...
I see you haven't lost your touch.
I'm assuming we've met before.
Can't quite place you.
Failed Cabal experiment? Former patient, perhaps?
Keep guessing.
Come on, Helen. You're smarter than that.
You've played this game before.
Come on... Show yourself.
I just want to talk.
Now, tell me you haven't forgotten me.
Adam.
It's nice to see you again, love.
It's only been, what? A hundred years.
This is impossible. You're dead. I killed you.
Act III[]
I don't understand.
Yes. It must be so confusing for you.
Adam...
Don't say you're sorry, especially if you're not.
How did you...?
Why should I tell you anything?
What do you really care?
I suppose you're right. It's a reasonable question.
Have you forgotten how to talk to me?
Can I talk to Adam?
I'm here. It's me.
Can you forgive me?
What, because I'm the reasonable one?
Can't do it.
I understand.
Ironically, he understands why you murdered us.
He said it was strictly business.
Not to take it personally.
Yeah, he would see it that way.
I suppose I need to talk to him too.
Don't think you really want to do that.
He's kind of been in charge of this whole thing
right from the start.
I can see that.
It's all right. I'll be fine.
It's really good to see you again.
Hope to see you soon.
Me too.
Devious bitch.
Hello, Adam.
Call me Hyde.
It's not your real name.
No, but "Adam Worth"
just seems so weak and pathetic.
I never really cared for "Jekyll" much.
"Hyde"? My kind of bastard sobriquet.
Stop glorifying yourself.
It was a book written in three days
high on cocaine.
About my amazing exploits!
Never saw a penny for it, mind you.
Stevenson, the selfish bugger.
So is that what all this is? Revenge?
Since you failed the holographic map test,
yes, of course it is.
How did you know I had it?
He wanted me to ask you what you thought of all this.
Always trying to impress you, the little twerp.
Me? I could care less.
So, your device. This is how you travel.
His genius.
My unquenchable thirst for violence.
Match made in heaven, really.
Blip! Hello, smash, crash, bang...
Blip. Hello.
Best toy I ever had.
- For a coward. - Don't you start with me!
I know it's been a long time, Helen,
but really, honestly, you murdered us.
You have to admit it, you've got it coming.
Your toy...
If Adam described how it worked, I'd be even more impressed.
Nice try. Sorry. He's busy.
By the way, he asked me to make it quick for you.
Naturally, I declined. I'd rather see you suffer.
How very kind of you.
Helen...
One thing I never really got was you and Johnny Druitt.
What in God's name did you ever see
in that bullet-headed misogynist?
I did like Tesla, though.
At least he was honest.
Always knew where you stood with him.
Watson was the only one who really gave me a fair shake,
besides you.
You were my favorite... Until you killed me.
Which, as you may have guessed,
left me with some emotional scars.
You could have saved her.
You could have saved my daughter.
Instead, you left us with nothing.
I heard about Ashley.
Tragic, isn't it? Losing a child.
How is this possible? You haven't aged.
Are you saying I look good?
You somehow managed to survive all these years.
You know about the city.
I think we have a lot to talk about.
You mean you want me to tell you everything I know
while you give me nothing?
Well... I've been there.
It's amazing. You'd love it.
And that's all you get for now.
How quaint. A woman with a firearm.
You should have listened to me. It needn't have come to this.
And yet, here we are.
Did you think they would just ignore you?
Let you spread your chaos unchecked?
There's something you need to know, Helen.
About this place.
It's stupendous.
Stop. I know what you're doing.
More talk until he can save you with his rage.
Then what are you waiting for?
I know why you're here. What your task is.
Go on, finish it.
Finish it!
Are you mad at me, Helen?
Helen...
Act IV[]
I know why you're angry.
Good one.
You thought I was the big threat.
Bastard!
I just wanted to knock you around a little bit.
See you get all marked up and woozy.
Nice.
You still hit like a girl, though.
Fancy some more? Or more parlor tricks?
All of this, it's a masterpiece in your honor.
To show you what you destroyed.
A gifted boy with a shining mind.
- Shut up! - Make me, wench!
Now we're having fun!
Sorry, the lad's not interested.
- Let me talk to him! - No! No!
It was just an idea.
I wasn't sure that it would work.
I learned so much before they shut us away.
How is this possible?
Time is like paper.
You can fold it up any way you want.
They can do it.
I just needed their energy source.
The energy nodules in the ceiling?
They're doing this?
The constant time, it's affected by mass,
altered by changing the effect of localized gravity...
Adam...
I sped up time.
And that's what allows you to move around like this?
It changes all the rules.
Faster time allows rifts to open up in subspace,
just like doorways.
You like it?
- It's brilliant. - I know. It is, isn't it?
Adam, let me go. We can talk.
No, no. I can't do that.
The whole point of this is to find a way back.
- To the city. - Aye.
And then... Well...
Kill me.
Elegantly.
I've so deeply regretted what I did, for so long.
Stay back.
I know you can't forgive me,
and believe me, I have never forgiven myself.
- Not a day goes by... - Stop.
When I don't think about what I did to you.
Adam...
I miss you.
Me too.
Bloody skank!
You can't enter the rift exposed.
Clever.
Not without injury.
Adam!
Adam, talk to me!
Adam!
I was here.
He entered... here.
Here...
- It's all right. - It's all right.
It's all right...
It's all right. It's all right.
It's all right. It's all right.
It's all right...
Act V[]
No more, Adam!
I surrender. Take me prisoner.
Keystones. What are they?
How do they lead to the city?
If you can dream
and not let dreams be your master...
Bleed to death or talk. Your choice.
We're divided on that one, see,
because he says you wouldn't do it.
I'm not so sure.
I killed you once. This would just be a loose end.
You've changed in the last century.
Why did my father send me the message?
What's so vital about the city?
Adam! Focus!
Everything is vital about that place!
You think miracle earthquakes happen
because you're a nice person?
What was the purpose of the message?
It was a warning.
About the city?
The city? The city?
It's about me!
Then he's still alive?
It's 50-50 on that one.
He broke some rather large rules when he sent you that message.
They've executed people for less.
You have the holomap,
but you don't know how to read it.
If you want to save Gregory, you need me! Me!
Take me to your Sanctuary, or leave me here.
'Cause either way...
there'll be nothing left to study.
Adam, what have you done?
I forgive you, Helen. I forgive you.
Get up! Get up!
I forgive you.
Come on!
Come on!
Knock knock.
- Are you serious? - Just go with it, William.
Fine. Who's there?
- My God! What happened? - Who's that guy?
Oh, we're in trouble.
