01x10 - I Am Icarus

[bunniefuu]

MALE NARRATOR: Previously on Debris

They were forcing me to build a device

that would track a very

dangerous piece of Debris.

BRYAN: We're gonna get George

the equipment he needs.

FINOLA: We have to get

to Washington State on a case.

Maddox cannot suspect anything.

SHELBY: I know that's part

of a crashed alien ship.

BRYAN: How do you know that?

SHELBY: It transported us into the past.

It's not just time travel.

BRYAN: What did you do?

My sister's gone.

I have to get her back.

GEORGE: These repeated jumps

can cause irreversible damage.

BRYAN: I have this under control.

GRACE: We have a problem with Bryan.

Don't let him trigger it again,

whatever the cost.

The Debris,

it may be reading your desires.

Who's the person that you're

trying to get back to?

BRYAN: You.

- Where is she?

- I don't know.

We have to move quickly.

I'm sorry I did this to you.

It's not your fault. It's mine.

What do you mean?

George said that you were a pilot

a pilot that needs his direction clear.

I realize that I am a pilot in this too.

We're here because I put us off course.

You want one thing,

maybe you even believe that you want it,

but deep down inside,

you want something else.

George said something like that.

And I'm not being honest

with what I want.

Do you think it'll work now?

BRYAN: We have to go.

- [helicopter whirring]

- Follow me.

Bryan! Don't do it!

I love Washington.

I spent a lot of time here.

Do you know the first food

astronauts ate in space?

No.

- No, I don't.

- Applesauce

in a tube like toothpaste.

Sixty-eight percent of the apples

we eat are grown in Washington.

Looks like we're here.

- Picking up on something.

- [device scanning]

Not much. But there is

definitely something here.

Maybe someone over at that house

knows something.

[door closes]

Hey, why don't you run the tests,

and I'll check it out?

Okay.

[chuckles]

- [bell chimes]

- [muttering]

Can I help you?

Uh

You're back.

You're Kathleen, right?

How do you know my name?

I'm a friend of Shelby's. Is he here?

How do you know my brother?

I know what you're doing.

I know what you found in the sea.

Who told you?

- Who are you?

- Is he here?

Hey, it's okay. Is Is Shelby here?

It made him disappear.

What?

[stammering] When did that happen?

KATHERINE: A few days ago.

- We went out to it, and when

- Yeah.

When I got back, he was gone.

It's like he was erased.

Like he was never born.

I was too afraid to go back out there.

My name is Bryan Beneventi.

I'm with a government agency.

I came here to investigate what you

found in the water with my partner.

And then she disappeared

like your brother.

I just wanna get back to her

the same way your brother

wants to get back to you.

Wait. How do you know

he's trying to get back to me?

Because I was just with him.

[theme]

[electricity crackling]

I don't understand.

If you jumped with Shelby,

why is he not back here too?

Listen to me right now.

There is an agent here

whose one goal is to take

this Debris away.

- Why?

- Because it's not from here.

To them it is just

an extra-terrestrial craft.

They don't care. And in two minutes,

she's going to figure out

that it's in the water,

and then this whole place is gonna be

crawling with people just like her.

If that happens, you're never

gonna see your brother again.

I'm never gonna see my partner again.

Why don't we go back

to the wreck and use it now?

- We can find them.

- What Shelby and I tried didn't work.

We need to figure out

what went wrong first,

or we're going to end up doing

damage to the universe.

Bryan?

It's already started.

What are you talking about?

I've seen this degradation before.

But now it's dire.

This is happening in every

reality that I've been to.

We can't outrun it.

It's just going to continue.

All realities will bleed

into each other.

And the universe will

collapse in on itself.

These people that we're seeing,

they're in another reality,

bleeding through.

I think we might have caused it.

How?

Shelby initially said that the

only way to stop the degradation,

to fix it,

was to get him back to his

own reality, but he lied.

My brother isn't a liar.

He only lied

because he knew we would take

the Debris away if he didn't.

He wanted to get back to you so badly

just like I want to get back

to somebody.

My partner Finola.

What do we do?

We need to find George Jones.

Who is that?

My partner's father is a scientist

who is helping Shelby

and I try to figure it out.

He's the only one that I know

who can find a way to unravel

these realities

and get us back to where

we're supposed to be.

Bryan?

GRACE: Why are you still in here, Bryan?

This is happening all over the house.

We have to leave until

the Situation Team gets here.

- It's okay.

- It's not okay.

Bryan, we shouldn't even be

in here without suits.

She shouldn't be in here at all.

Let's just wait to call a team, okay?

I already called in the team.

The signatures out there

are rising by the minute.

I've got this under control.

Bryan, I have known you for five years.

You do not have this under control.

We don't even know

how far out this piece

- is affecting its surroundings.

- I know.

It is much worse

than we initially thought.

I just need some time to think.

Bryan, are you seeing

what's happening here?

We need to find the Debris

and neutralize it immediately.

The Debris is in the ocean.

How do you know that?

- I just know.

- What are you talking about?

I understand that you don't know

what's going on here, Grace.

But I am desperate for that Debris

to stay exactly where it is

for enough time

for me to figure out how to fix this.

Bryan, I trust you,

but you are making no sense at all.

If you really know where this Debris is,

we have to stop this.

We need to find George Jones.

He's the only one who can stop it.

Bryan, George Jones is dead.

You just k*lled him at the

INFLUX compound two days ago.

- Remember?

- What?

- What is she doing?

- Kathleen!

No!

[gasps]

FINOLA: The first disturbances

were picked up

in the atmosphere yesterday, 8:20 A.M.

GIBSON: They pick up anything falling?

FINOLA: No.

- Damn it.

- What?

Denied.

What do you mean? Why are you denied?

Back in 1958, GM offered

each of the Mercury astronauts

a Chevy for one dollar per year.

That's why you see all those photos

of them with their Corvettes.

- Really? Just a dollar?

- Yeah.

- Huh.

- They scrapped the program, though,

but I've been trying to convince

them to bring it back.

Why? We don't work for NASA, Gibson.

Close enough.

But why are you on their side?

I'm not on their side.

I'm just saying that, you know,

they go into actual space.

- We should be on cereal boxes.

- Okay, okay.

You get a cereal box.

Honey Nut Malcontent.

- I need a new partner.

- Yep. Tell me about it.

Uh, SAT scans.

Pull up over there.

I hate the ocean.

- [device scanning]

- You get anything?

Yeah, a bit.

There's definitely something out there.

Call it in.

Yeah, it's Gibson.

We're gonna need a Situation

Team in Oceanside right away.

[bell chimes]

Agent Gibson, and this is Agent Jones.

We're from the government, and we'd

like to ask you a few questions.

- KATHLEEN: Okay.

- Are your parents home?

No. No, they're traveling in Europe.

Okay. And do you have any idea

when they'll be home?

- Did he say your name was Jones?

- Uh, yeah.

Was your father a scientist

named George Jones?

Uh, was? No. George Jones is my father.

He's not dead?

No, he's, um

very much alive and well.

Can you reach him?

Can Can you reach your father?

What is this about?

How do you know my father?

George Jones is the only one

who can save the world.

How long have these been here?

They started after my brother

disappeared.

At least that's what the agent said.

And what was his name?

Bryan. Bryan Beneventi.

[whispers] Bryan Beneventi.

And he said he was, uh, looking for me?

He was looking for your father

to fix this.

He wanted to get back to you,

to another version of you

where my brother took him from.

These jumps are putting

a cumulative strain

on the fabric of space-time.

Eventually, I mean, this

damage could be irreversible.

This is proof.

GIBSON: Situation

is 15 minutes out.

We should get her out of the house.

- Yeah.

- No.

- They're gonna take it away.

- Kathleen, we have to.

We have no idea what this is doing.

We're going to have to study it.

He told me that your father said the

universe would continue to decay

if I didn't get back.

He said it's already in motion,

and you said so yourself.

Look what's happening.

You have to find your father.

He's the only one who could fix this.

Bryan told me you wouldn't realize it.

We can't play around with this.

You've got to call your father.

That's incredible.

It's like the Debris is allowing her

to shuffle between realities

like a deck of cards.

Every time she uses the Debris,

she plucks another card from the deck.

FINOLA: Yeah. Exactly.

GEORGE [on phone]:

Tell me about this partner.

His name is Bryan Beneventi.

She said he told her that the longer

that she's away from her reality,

the quicker the universe

will deteriorate.

Yeah, I suppose.

Hypothetically, in order

for Kathleen to return to her

original reality,

she would have to jump

at the exact same time

she and Shelby originally

activated the Debris.

Hmm.

Yeah, but

Something just doesn't

sit right with me.

Why, what's wrong?

What this, um, Belefonte said,

it just doesn't make any sense.

I mean, essentially,

it's the exact opposite

to what's occurring right now.

And if the data sent

from Gibson is accurate,

well, you definitely should not

allow this girl to jump again.

I'm absolutely sure of that.

We're already on shaky ground.

Is there any any truth

to what she is saying then?

I believe that any jump is going to

destabilize the situation further.

And, in fact, any more jumps

are going to

It's gonna cause irreversible damage.

She must accept that her brother's gone.

FINOLA: Okay. The Situation

Teams will be here soon.

All right. Be safe.

FINOLA: Where is Kathleen?

Wasn't she outside with you?

Kathleen.

What do you think, Craig?

- What?

- I knew that name rang a bell.

You ready for this?

Bryan Beneventi is an actual person.

He was a marine in Afghanistan.

I was keeping my eye on him

back during the conflict.

Well, in another reality,

it seems he works here.

The guy was like a trouble magnet.

Like, I tried to talk to him,

help him out, give him a hand.

He didn't want to listen.

Now we see how that turned out.

He's a w*r criminal.

For the best, I suppose.

That's my brother.

That's your partner Bryan.

The other people can't see us,

but they did.

They can't be far, right?

Because they saw us?

He saw me.

A reality close by.

Kathleen.

I can't deny what I just witnessed,

but my father thinks that the universe

is in a state right now

that cannot bear the uncertainty

of you visiting the Debris again.

What are you saying?

I'm saying that you lied.

What you told us about

my father was not true.

Stopping the degradation's got nothing,

nothing to do with you getting

back to your original reality.

No, but you don't understand me.

- It's my fault.

- It's not your fault.

- It is my fault. I insisted.

- It is not your fault.

I encouraged him to keep doing

the jumps in the first place.

After the first time, he didn't want to.

I made him.

And I have to fix this.

Kathleen!

Kathleen!

Kathleen!

Kathleen, no!

[inaudible]

Sorry.

GRACE: Here's a fun fact.

Do you know the first food

astronauts ate in space?

- What?

- Applesauce in a tube, like toothpaste.

Sixty-eight percent of the apples we

eat are grown here in Washington.

Looks like we're here.

It's been a while

since I've seen the ocean.

- Hmm.

- [device scanning]

You get anything?

Yeah, it's clicking in high.

So much worse than the report suggested.

- I'll get set up out here.

- Yeah.

Hey, we're going to need an emergency

Situation Team at this location.

We're seeing heavy degradation.

I'm not sure what's causing it.

We're about to go inside, okay?

[doorbell chimes]

My name is Agent Finola Jones.

I'm with the government.

I'm going to need for you

to clear out the house.

I know. I know what's happening.

We don't have much time.

This isn't the first time

you've been here.

What are you talking about?

There's a piece of Debris in the sea.

My brother and I used it

to jump into new realities.

We were separated. I've been

trying to get back to him,

and now the universe is breaking down.

In one of these realities, you have

a partner named Bryan Beneventi.

Bryan's with my brother, Shelby,

and they are trying to fix the

problems from where they are.

- What's your name?

- Kathleen.

Kathleen, how do you know all of this?

Because I spoke to them.

They want to speak to you.

That's him.

That's my brother,

and that's your partner.

Bryan and Shelby have come across

a lot of different versions of you

and your father.

He told me that many of those Finolas

were helping him find an answer to this.

"Bilateral deviation."

Bilateral deviation.

Um Do you have a pen?

[sighs] Bilateral deviation.

No, I don't know.

[sighs] Bilateral deviation.

I don't know.

Why does he keep saying that?

- Has he said this before?

- No.

How?

[sighs] God, um

Okay, okay, um

Okay, uh

Okay, but

I can't I don't know.

What was that?

[Finola stammering]

No, it's still within range.

Hang on. Here's Finola.

The team's two minutes out.

Have you heard of, um,

bilateral deviation?

- No. What is that?

- Okay.

It just might be the key

to fixing all of this.

[helicopter approaching]

- KATHLEEN: Please help me.

- There's no time.

- We can make time.

- How?

We can start over. You can come with me.

- No, they are gonna shut it down.

- We can fix this.

We can jump again,

take what we've learned

and get more time to figure out

what to do before they take it.

We can fix this.

We'll be okay.

Go.

MAN: House clear?

Yeah. Readings increase

closer to the shore.

I think it's in the water.

[sighs] Okay.

Pannenkoek! Get out of the way!

- [horn honking]

- [tires screeching]

[gasps]

[device chimes]

I think you can

put down the tablet, Finola.

It's pretty clear where we need to go.

Wow. This is intense.

It's obvious what's going on here.

- Alien invasion.

- It's not aliens.

Situation Team chopper

is 10 minutes out.

You should call your father immediately.

He'll know what to do.

My father's dead.

What?

No!

I talked to him yesterday.

How did he die?

[latch clicks]

Kathleen.

[sighs] You remember.

Yeah.

KATHLEEN: Quickly.

They're getting worse.

I'm scared.

Shelby and Bryan aren't here this time.

What if it's too late?

I have to call my father.

[phone vibrates]

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm just looking at the

satellite data from your location.

Can only imagine what you're seeing.

Finola.

Are you all right?

FINOLA: Dad.

I'm, uh

Yeah. [chuckles]

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. No, I'm okay.

Well, don't worry, the team's

on its way to you now.

We'll figure this out.

That's the thing, I have.

I just don't know how yet.

GEORGE: What do you mean?

Okay, you have to listen to me.

The Debris was triggered

by a brother and sister

who were jumping realities.

And the last time they jumped,

they got separated,

and they've been trying to get

back to each other ever since.

How many jumps have they made?

I don't know. I'm not sure.

But that's the thing. There was an agent

that is involved in this,

he comes from one of the realities

that the brother and sister visited.

He told me

that there was another version of me

from another reality

that had almost figured out the answer,

but reality was reset before I had

the chance to give it to him.

He said it had something

to do with bilateral deviation.

Now, I know that obviously "bilateral"

has got something to do with two sides,

and there were two twins

who were trying to get back

to each other, but

All right. Well, you said

this all started

when these twins triggered the Debris.

Yes. Yes.

Well, it starts with the two of them.

That caused the bilateral

deviation from the reality.

Yes, yes, and

[helicopter approaching]

The Situation Team's here.

You're going to have

to get them to stand down.

- I need more time.

- GEORGE: I can't do that.

The situation's too grave.

- Dad?

- Yes.

If you were never going to see me again,

what would be the last thing

that you would say to me?

No, don't talk like that.

You're brilliant.

And we are gonna figure

this out together.

But what would you say?

I would say, I love you.

I love you too.

I love you.

"Together."

[helicopter approaching]

- KATHLEEN: They're here.

- FINOLA: Yeah.

I think your brother and Bryan

failed because we weren't involved.

We hadn't figured it out together.

- Bilateral deviation.

- Yeah.

You and your brother

are two strands of the same reality

that have become unraveled,

and that has messed everything else up.

What do you mean?

You've been trying to get back

to each other but separately.

But how can we jump together

if we're in different realities?

Because you both have to jump,

but at the same time.

I thought we'd already tried that.

No, no, simultaneously.

Because it has to end the way it began,

so we can get back to the beginning

and repair the damage

across all realities.

- We have to find them.

- Yes. Go.

FINOLA: Oh, they're back!

All jump together.

Two minutes.

Okay.

Ready?

Three, two, one.

[watch beeps]

- [pounding on door]

- Finola.

MAN: The Situation Team is here.

Upstairs. I'm going to take her

outside to get evaluated, okay?

MAN: All right.

[helicopter whirring]

Run.

When we jump and I get back

to my reality,

do you think we're gonna remember it?

I don't know. It happened before. Why?

This is something

I really don't want to forget,

something my father said to me.

Hey. Thank you for helping me.

Yeah. Go.

SHELBY: Is it too late?

Mm-hmm.

I love the ocean.

- You getting anything?

- [device scanning]

Yeah. It's faint.

But it's definitely here.

Hi, there. I'm Agent Bryan Beneventi.

- This is Finola Jones.

- Hey.

We're with the government.

- We have a few questions for you.

- I know.

It's in the ocean, Bryan.

BRYAN: What is?

SHELBY: Come on in.

I'll tell you what I know.

[phone buzzes]

Hey, Craig. It's Vince

at the Federal Grill.

I just want to confirm a reservation

for this afternoon at 1:30.

I hope to see you then.

Be good to see you.

Alexandra, did I miss

a lunch appointment today?

ALEXANDRA:

You had no lunch booked today.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

- Um, thanks. That's all.

- Okay.

And would you close the door behind you?

Yeah.

[line ringing]

JULIA: Hi. You've reached

Julia's voicemail.

Please leave a message.

[car door opens, closes]

[footsteps approaching]

[latch clicking]

Hey!

Julia?

No.

No, no, no, no, no

[sighs]

[buzzer sounds]

Here you are, mate.

Oh! Up above, down below, too slow.

Come on, you can get it.

[tray clattering]

On report.

[lid slams]

[sighs]

Six.

Eight. Six. Eight.

Zero. Eight.

[buzzer sounds]

[cell door opens]

WOMAN: Tell us what you're seeing.

[beep]

Can you tell us what you're seeing?

[beep]

WOMAN 2: I'm seeing sparkles in the air.

Still no sign of Ming.

[beep]

It's beautiful.

[beep]

MAN: Have you found Beneventi?

Have you found Beneventi? Over.

[beep]
