00:12To be continued...
00:30Such secrets are rarely left unguarded.
00:33Yeah, but why can't we just...
00:34Look!
00:50Keepers of the dead. Best to be avoided, if at all possible.
00:55Right.
01:06I got... I'm going in and go around.
01:09But what was that wiggly one you did?
01:11Either we work together or we die.
01:14Let's go.
01:16Okay.
01:31Take the other side. Draw them away if you can.
01:34You're kidding, right?
01:35Go! Quickly! Before they...
01:39Ashley!
02:07Hey, I know!
02:11This is why we don't work with Silvio.
02:13His intel is hopeless. Ashley!
02:19Go to the crypt! Go!
02:22Move!
02:25Go!
02:32Go!
02:37Go!
02:39Go!
02:45Go!
02:47Go!
03:17I'm going in!
03:30This might be my first crypt, but aren't they supposed to hold dead people?
04:00I'm going in!
04:40I'm going in!
04:47I'm going in!
05:03I'm going in!
05:09I'm going in!
05:14I'm going in!
05:17I'm going in!
05:28I'm going in!
06:03I'm going in!
06:34I'm going in!
06:38I'm going in!
06:38I'm going in!
06:39I'm going in!
06:47I was about to gather some fluid samples.
06:50Care to assist?
06:53I'd love to, but I'd better get back to my office and get the whole head-drinking operation
07:00up and running.
07:01As you wish.
07:04I'm going in!
07:05I'm going in!
07:05I'm going in!
07:34I'm going in!
07:36I'm going in!
07:49I'm going in!
07:55I'm going in!
08:00I'm going in!
08:14I'm going in!
08:23I'm going in!
08:29I'm going in!
08:35I'm Danu.
08:38So you can talk.
08:42My sisters.
08:45Tatha and Karen, are they?
08:48They're fine. Your sisters are fine.
08:50You just woke up first.
08:56You're in a medical facility.
08:59We brought you here after we found you in a dark place.
09:05Do you have any idea how you ended up there?
09:11Creatures.
09:14They came to our village.
09:19They weren't human.
09:22Yeah, sounds familiar.
09:27They took us with them, and then I woke up here.
09:34Your village.
09:35Is there anyone there, your friends or family, that we could contact and let them know you're all right?
09:40I'm sorry. I just...
09:42I can't remember.
09:44Well, it's okay.
09:46Just take your time.
09:54This place, it's like nothing I've ever, ever seen before.
10:05There's, there's light, but I've seen no candles.
10:10There's, there's warmth, but there's no fire, no, no sunlight.
10:15Danu, before you and your sisters were taken, how much do you remember?
10:24At last mass, we were mourning the loss of our priests to the miasmas.
10:31The miasmas?
10:32It's a sickness that has cursed many villages surrounding us in recent months, and there is no cure.
10:41So you remember the miasmas?
10:44Anything else?
10:51Why can't I remember?
10:55Just give it time.
11:00These creatures exhibit a terrifying propensity for violence.
11:04Physiology appears human in base form, though significant anomalies to the face and torso indicate the possibility of mutation at
11:11a base genetic level.
11:15Oh, okay.
11:17You need to, uh, you need to put a sock on the door or something before you do that.
11:23He's breathtaking, isn't he?
11:26Yeah, that's one way of putting it.
11:29How are our guests doing?
11:32Confused.
11:33At least the one who's awake is.
11:36She mentioned a disease that was killing people in her village, called the miasmas, which translates from the Greek meaning
11:43poison air.
11:44Plague, actually.
11:46The bubonic plague, specifically.
11:49However, the last reported serious outbreak was in Scotland in 800 AD.
11:55Meaning?
11:56She's crazy.
11:57Is that your professional opinion?
12:00Look, I know there's a lot of things that are outside the realm of our knowledge, blah, blah, blah.
12:04But, logically, if she were from 800 AD, she wouldn't speak English the way we do.
12:09I'm guessing that linguistics and grammar have evolved somewhat since then.
12:13Some would say devolved.
12:14Whatever the point is, is that we wouldn't understand her.
12:17Which makes her a very sweet, very delusional woman.
12:21Possibly.
12:22If you have a theory, please share it with the class.
12:26The liquid we found the three of them in bears similar chemical properties to suspended animation formulae used by southern
12:32voodoo cults.
12:35The human body cannot survive intact for 1,200 years.
12:39I don't care what kind of magic bath products you use.
12:42And I agree.
12:44So, these women are either far more than they appear, or, to use your incredibly clever vernacular...
12:50Crazy.
12:51The question we should be asking is why the keepers were so anxious to stop us from getting into that
12:57crypt.
12:58What is it about these women that they don't want us to know?
13:08What is it about these women that they don't want us to know?
13:36We've got evidence of two women and a man out here, and a hell of a lot of 45 mil
13:40cartridges.
13:47Round up the keepers.
13:49Mobilize Alpha Team for a priority one retrieval.
13:52Whoever took our property is going to pay.
13:54Man or Rs.
14:16No, no!
14:39No!
14:53Beast of Geek.
14:59Why is nothing familiar to us?
15:01I see myself in the mirror and I recognize my face.
15:06I know Tatha and a noob, but the person I thought I was...
15:11You're telling me there is no village, no sickness.
15:14The little I can remember is false.
15:17How can we all not feel completely lost?
15:20Diana has told us that you insist there were no magics involved.
15:23That what we suffer is simply a malady.
15:26It's more of an emotional shield.
15:28We found you in a crypt surrounded by monsters.
15:31It's normal for the human psyche to put itself in a safe mode.
15:35We want to accept your diagnosis, Doctor.
15:37And we are grateful for all that you've done.
15:40You're still not buying it.
15:43The clinical term is schizoaffective disorder.
15:46It's a delusional state stemming from acute post-traumatic stress.
15:50You're all three suffering from this same disorder.
15:53How is that possible?
15:54Delusional behavior occurring virally in groups is rare, but it's not undocumented.
15:58Particularly amongst siblings.
16:02Look.
16:03Let me put it this way.
16:04There is no logical or physical way that your memories can be real.
16:10And the sooner you accept that, the sooner we can continue to make progress.
16:20Excellent timing.
16:21I'm starved.
16:30They are beautiful.
16:32They truly are.
16:33I've never seen anything like them.
16:35They are frightened.
16:38Oh, yes.
16:40Well, quite confusing, I'd imagine.
16:43Waking up here, no memories.
16:44Believing you're from the Middle Ages.
16:46Are they?
16:48Well, there's the rub.
16:49I can't quite rule the possibility out.
16:52When Will first entered the crypt, he said he set off some sort of mechanism that drained the coffins of
16:57a green-hued liquid, which thankfully I was able to preserve.
17:00You think this kept them alive?
17:03I don't know for certain, but it does contain several key elements that could induce a form of cryogenic stasis
17:08in humans.
17:09If they are not abnormals...
17:11I know.
17:12Why god them so ferociously?
17:14I want you to concentrate on the sound of my voice.
17:18I'm going to count backwards from five, four, three, two, one.
17:26Danu, can you hear me?
17:29Yes.
17:32I want you to go back to the last thing you remember before you woke up here.
17:41The creatures, they're too strong.
17:46We can't escape.
17:48Why are they doing this?
17:50We've done nothing wrong.
17:55They're making us drink something.
17:59Darkness.
18:00I want you to go back further.
18:04Find a memory of something that happened before the creatures took you.
18:12The moonlight.
18:16I'm in a field.
18:19It's cold.
18:21I can sense the dead.
18:25Their souls extinguished.
18:32Only we remain.
18:34What do you make of these?
18:39I found them on the right-hand index finger of each of the three women.
18:43Have you searched the database?
18:44Not yet.
18:45It's on my to-do list.
18:47But such distinctive markings generally indicate a connection to a larger collective or group.
18:52If they belong to a society of some sort...
18:55Then someone will definitely have noticed that they're missing.
19:03Are they pissed at being locked up, or are we getting close?
19:12No, they're here, alright.
19:15We're bringing him home.
19:26Am I happy?
19:30Well, I definitely say that I'm more stimulated here than in my old job.
19:35Wherever here is, you won't even tell me where you're working.
19:40I told you, the people who run this clinic are totally into privacy.
19:44I'm bound by all these confidentiality agreements that made me sign.
19:47Well, at least tell me what kind of work you're doing.
19:50I mean, is it more forensics or clinical or research-based?
19:56Uh, lied.
19:57It's, uh, you know, it's a little bit of everything.
20:00Um, really, you know, cutting-edge stuff.
20:02Hold that elevator!
20:04What's up, new guy?
20:07I wanna eat your face!
20:10What? Who's that?
20:12Uh, it's, uh, it's a patient.
20:18Patience.
20:18No, this is great, Will.
20:20I mean, I don't know where you're working or what kind of work you're doing,
20:23aside from everything.
20:24You're never at your apartment.
20:26It's like you just dropped off the map.
20:27Well, I'm, I'm just, you know, putting in a lot of hours at the clinic,
20:31trying to get up to speed.
20:32You know how it is.
20:36Uh, anyway, I just, I wanted to call and make sure you're okay.
20:42Well, whatever it is you are doing, you sound good.
20:47Well, thanks.
20:49I mean, it's no picnic, believe me.
20:52But, uh, you know, half the time I wonder if I made the right decision.
20:57But, I am sleeping better.
21:02Ironically.
21:03Will?
21:04Yeah.
21:06You're seeing someone, aren't you?
21:09What?
21:10No, Meg, come on, why would you-
21:12Forget it. It's none of my business.
21:14Look, I appreciate the call.
21:17Uh, good luck with your new job.
21:18No, hey, wait.
21:24Crap.
21:26Wait a minute.
21:28Can't live with them.
21:29But you can eat them.
21:39All good, Mom.
21:41City's now minus one ugly, poodle-eating chameleon guy.
21:44Are you hurt?
21:45No, not a scratch.
21:48I'll redo your bandages when you get home.
21:50But before you do, I need you to look into something for me.
21:53We found these rings on the three women from the crypt.
22:00Pretty.
22:00I've traced it back to an ancient cult known as Cabalus Nocturnum.
22:04A secret society founded in roughly 700 A.D.
22:08I'm still collating data, but from what I can tell,
22:10they were collectors of ancient beings of power.
22:12Well, they had crappy-tasted bling, that's for sure.
22:15I've reason to believe that this cabal may still be operating,
22:17and they need to know how big a threat they could pose.
22:20See what Squid has to say about the markings.
22:22Then I want you home.
22:23You got a bad feeling about this?
22:25Off the charts.
22:27Okay, I'm on it.
22:28Love ya.
22:29Love you too.
22:32Hey.
22:34What's the matter?
22:35You can't sleep?
22:36Dr. Zimmerman.
22:39I know Dr. Magnus asked we stay in our quarters, but...
22:43The views from your windows...
22:45They are so captivating.
22:48I could not resist.
22:53What do you feel when you look out there?
22:55I am...
22:58Curious.
23:02And afraid.
23:06Afraid of what?
23:14When I sleep at night...
23:18All I see are dead faces.
23:22Haunting me.
23:24Asking me why.
23:32You want us to remember who we are.
23:37Well, perhaps there is a good reason that we forgot.
23:56Hey, I saw your light was on.
23:57You mind if I, uh...
23:58No, of course.
24:00You're up late.
24:02So are you.
24:05You keeping watch over the ranch?
24:07I rarely sleep unless my patients do too.
24:12How's Danu?
24:13She's feeling a lot of irrational fear.
24:16Low self-esteem.
24:17Raw emotion.
24:19I've seen it before in kidnapping victims held for long periods of time.
24:23They tend to forget they have value and just start seeing themselves as property.
24:28That assessment may be far more accurate than you realize.
24:32What do you mean?
24:33Have you ever heard of the Morrigan?
24:34The Morrigan?
24:36No.
24:36No.
24:36But then again, I haven't been able to memorize that monster manual you gave me yet.
24:41They're part of an ancient legend dating back to medieval times.
24:45Three women with supernatural powers whose sole purpose was to destroy men.
24:51So I see we're back to the 1200 year old bath products theory.
24:56The Morrigan first appeared during the reign of King Arthur.
25:00Now, according to myth, when the Morrigan appeared on the battlefield, Arthur's enemies simply began dropping dead.
25:06Their souls drained of life.
25:08Entire armies were wiped out en masse.
25:11Do you honestly believe that they're witches from the Middle Ages?
25:15Well, what history would have defined as a witch could have simply been someone with abnormal powers.
25:19Yeah, but they don't have any powers.
25:21I mean, you said so yourself when you checked them out.
25:23None that we've yet detected.
25:28Each of them was wearing one of these.
25:31And this is the mark of an ancient cabal of collectors who sought and exploited abnormals for their own personal
25:37gain.
25:38And apparently guarded their possessions fiercely.
25:42So why would this cabal hold the sisters prisoner if they don't have any powers?
25:49Another reason why I'm not sleeping.
25:55They're not nightmares.
25:58The field of the dead.
26:02We were actually there that night.
26:05It's more than that.
26:11We were the reason.
26:41Easy, Steve. Easy.
27:01Ladies.
27:06Pretty sure we have rules about loading and stuff.
27:14Let's say you just come down and we talk about this.
27:23Let's say you just come down and we talk about this.
27:32It's quite enough of that.
27:39I had everything under control.
27:44You know, when stuff blows up and I say, man, this is going to cost you, and you say, Henry,
27:48stop being so dramatic.
27:49Henry.
27:50This is going to cost you.
27:52What was affected?
27:53Well, central lab mostly, diagnostics, MRI systems are gonzo.
27:59Oh, and I think our internet is down.
28:02What about security protocols?
28:04Well, redundancies kicked in, so nothing mean and ugly got free, which is good.
28:07But our perimeter alarm systems are totally fried, which is bad.
28:11Focus on external defenses. Leave the lab for later.
28:14Yeah.
28:15Why? Are we expecting more trouble?
28:17Yeah, no, that was a stupid question. I'm outside.
28:22Witches from the Middle Ages.
28:25Okay, I'm almost there, but assuming their physical forms could somehow be preserved, again, how is it possible that they
28:34can speak like us?
28:35I'm assuming that each of them is a telesthetic, enabling them to quickly learn our vernacular of English.
28:42Psychic powers, mind reading.
28:46Well, now we know what this cabal wanted them for.
28:49And for all the good it's done us.
28:51Hold still.
28:53Hey, you didn't know what they could do.
28:55I should have.
28:56The moment I connected them with the cabal.
28:58Perform more invasive scans, psychotropic drug therapy.
29:01They're running a medical facility, not Guantanamo Bay.
29:05Cut yourself some slack.
29:06You don't understand.
29:08Assuming the cabal are after them, and we'd be fools not to,
29:11the amount of kinetic energy that they released could hardly go unnoticed.
29:15We're all in imminent danger.
29:17They cannot remain here.
29:22And what does that mean?
29:24It means that if the legend of the Morrigan is even slightly true,
29:27they could conceivably wipe out hundreds, even thousands of lives given the chance.
29:32We're not talking about a bunch of velociraptors here.
29:35Before their memories came back, they were calm, rational women.
29:39And even when they did let loose with their powers, they didn't kill me.
29:44They just melted my brain a little bit.
29:47And destroyed half my facility.
29:49Well, they've been held prisoner for hundreds of years.
29:51They had a right to be pissed.
29:53Doesn't mean we can't reason with them.
29:57All three will remain under sedation.
30:00At least for the time being.
30:01And how long is that?
30:03Forever?
30:05How does that make us any different than the cabal who imprisoned them in the first place?
30:26Dr. Magnus was right.
30:29We should never have been woken up.
30:32You can't stay asleep forever, Danu.
30:35You deserve to be free.
30:38Our purpose is not to be free.
30:40Our purpose is to bring death to the enemies of the cabal.
30:44And you think we're the enemy?
30:47You took us from our home.
30:50Away from our protectors.
30:52You were held prisoner in a crypt.
30:56What kind of a home is that?
30:58If our masters deem it so, then it is so.
31:01No.
31:03That's what they want you to think.
31:07They want you to believe that they're your protectors, but they're not.
31:11They're using your powers for their own good.
31:13They gave us life.
31:15They gave us our powers.
31:19Who says you weren't born with these gifts?
31:22That this cabal simply found you and forced you to kill for them?
31:32You asked me how you could all suffer from the same disorder.
31:38This dissociation between what's real and imagined.
31:41It's because somebody planted those thoughts in your heads.
31:44And the sooner you realize those thoughts aren't real,
31:47then you'll remember who you truly are.
31:50A thousand men.
31:52Danu.
31:55A thousand men marched on Baden Hill that morning.
32:00All were dead before nightfall.
32:04All without the touch of either sword or spear.
32:08And now that we are free, more will die.
32:13That is our purpose, Will.
32:16Until now.
32:17Because you didn't think you had a choice.
32:20But you do.
32:26How can we ever be free?
32:30After all that we've got?
32:56You bring them?
32:58Yeah.
32:59Come eat snacks.
33:00Get them while they're alive.
33:01Alive.
33:03Ah, it's about time.
33:06Alright.
33:08Woah, woah, woah, woah.
33:10You said you have information on the cabal for me.
33:12Oh.
33:15You and your mother.
33:17You really don't like to attract normal run-of-the-mill enemies, do you?
33:20Now we're searching the cabal really stirred up the people in my network.
33:24Got them buzzing like insects.
33:26Dude, most of the people in your network are insects.
33:28That's real nice, Ash.
33:29What did you find out?
33:31They've been playing the same capture and study game for a hell of a lot more years than your mother
33:37and you.
33:38You'd be surprised.
33:40Go on!
33:41Uh, and tell Hazard.
33:44Their mandate was-
33:45To capture creatures with strange powers.
33:47I know, we've got three other assets on ice.
33:49What are they up to now?
33:51Everything.
33:52Come again?
33:53Well, the cabal supposedly died out in the 19th century.
33:58But they didn't.
33:59They just went underground.
34:01They started infiltrating businesses.
34:04Medical and scientific research companies.
34:07Banks.
34:08Biotech firms.
34:10Military think tanks.
34:12All under their control.
34:14Holy crap.
34:15Yeah, I mean these guys are one James Bond film away from global domination.
34:20So stealing their property-
34:22No, no, no, no.
34:23Would not go over well.
34:24Word has it.
34:25They're on the move.
34:26With, uh, upright bloodhounds with big teeth and claws.
34:29Keepers.
34:30What?
34:30How many?
34:31Well, enough to create a real mess.
34:33I mean, whatever it is you took from them.
34:36They're coming to take it back.
34:41You mind?
34:42No, no.
34:43But I'm-
34:44See, go ahead.
34:45You're crazy.
34:45Go now.
34:45Well, thank you.
34:47Oh.
34:48Hmm.
35:03Well, that is not good.
35:08As long as they're conscious, they are a threat.
35:10As long as they're here, they are a threat.
35:13Danu's psychological state is so fragile right now.
35:16Any more trauma, any more amnesia, she may never be this self-aware again.
35:19I can get through to her.
35:20I just-
35:21I need more time.
35:22Time is not something we have in abundance, Will.
35:24Listen to me, listen to me.
35:25She has been brainwashed to think this cabal is somehow all-powerful.
35:28I mean, come on.
35:30Ashley.
35:31We've definitely got trouble incoming.
35:32I'll be home as soon as I can, but this is a much better-
35:37Mom?
35:39Mom?
35:40Mom!
35:41Damn it.
35:51Come in, Maggie.
35:53So, um, nasty creatures with bad dental work have reached the outer perimeter,
35:56and I'd recommend a level five internal lockdown.
35:58Get down.
36:04Magnus!
36:07That works.
36:08We need to get the morrigan out of here immediately.
36:09Agreed.
36:10Any ideas?
36:11Near the chute.
36:12There's an escape tunnel with an exit moving to the river.
36:14I have a safe house just outside the city.
36:16There's a map programmed into this.
36:18Take this.
36:19What are you gonna do?
36:20You wanted time?
36:21I'm gonna buy you some.
36:36Where the hell have you been?
36:37We need weapons.
36:38You need Ashley.
37:14Crap.
37:21Daniel, we're getting you out of here.
37:23They have come for us.
37:25But that doesn't mean you have to go with them.
37:26They will never stop looking for us.
37:28We must go with them.
37:28Do you really believe that you deserve to live in a crypt?
37:32Because if you do, I won't stop you.
37:35You would free us?
37:37Yes.
37:39We have to go right now.
37:45I want you to stay and defend the habitats at all costs.
37:48If we fall, initiate level nine lockdown protocol and seal yourself inside.
37:52Please.
37:53Do as I say.
38:11Where are we going?
38:13Away from here.
38:24It will.
38:25Go, go, go.
38:26Take this.
38:27It's a map.
38:27Follow the purple line.
38:29Will, I...
38:29Go!
38:39Good.
38:40Grab what weapons you can and meet us in the catacombs.
38:42Will's headed to the river gate with the morrigan.
38:43The keepers are following.
38:45We'll make our stand there.
38:46Henry?
38:47Hello.
38:48You heard the plan?
38:50Weapons, catacombs, check.
38:51See you in five.
38:57Oh, damn it.
38:59Drop it.
39:03Ah, come on.
39:05Keep them coming.
39:13Um, these aren't mine.
39:15Just put them on the ground.
39:16And we don't know where to record them.
39:18You're not in a car.
39:20Run.
39:20Sound of destruction.
39:21All the way to the hog.
39:29Okay, they've been murdered.
39:33I'm not in an army.
39:34I'm not in an army.
39:34All the way to the ground.
39:42You've got to be killed.
39:43Yoda, are you?
39:43I can't.
39:44You are.
39:45I can't.
39:45You are.
39:45You are.
39:46The hero, there, is.
39:46Get out!
39:56That never gets old.
39:58You left the safety on.
40:01You know, I'm a... I'm a play to my strengths.
40:04You... you shoot people.
40:06Okay, follow me.
40:10Mom! Are you okay?
40:12I'm fine. Did you get them out?
40:14I think so. If they can read Google Maps, they should be well on their way.
40:17But where the hell is Henry?
40:18Here.
40:28This is a private medical facility. You are trespassing on my property.
40:32Trespassing? You have stolen what is ours.
40:35The Morrigan belong to us.
40:38Hand them over now, or we tear this place apart.
40:41I don't know what you're talking about.
40:44My keepers are key to find them.
40:47No matter where they go.
40:48Your keepers are dead all over my house.
40:53Do you have any more?
40:55Last chance.
40:56No more games.
41:00Ashley?
41:01It'll get messy. Just say the word.
41:05Take their weapons.
41:10Stop.
41:12There will be no more killing.
41:15We will go quietly.
41:17But we ask that you leave these people unharmed.
41:20You don't make demands. You do as we say.
41:23They did not take us out of greed, but out of charity. We ask you leave them unharmed.
41:31It seems that a taste of freedom has changed their demeanor.
41:36We take back what's ours. You and I have no problem.
41:39These women are under my protection.
41:42They're not leaving with you or anyone else for that matter.
41:46Then we have a problem.
41:52Danu, please stay with us. We can protect all of you.
41:56If we stay, none of you will ever know peace.
42:01You've shown us a path. A truth we have never seen before.
42:04And we are grateful for all that you have done.
42:09No. No, you can't go. Not now.
42:11A freedom must be earned. In our own way.
42:17We know who we are now.
42:24Put them in separate trucks.
42:36I'd be careful what you do next.
42:39The people I work for aren't a forgiving type.
42:41Neither am I.
42:43Tell them this is far from over.
42:47Now, get off my property.
42:57Do you think we've lost them?
42:59You tell me.
43:02I think I needed more time.
43:04I think you've done more good than you realize.
43:07We gave them the choice to be free.
43:09What they do next is up to them.
43:39mit that post.
43:39What are 9 years of people living here?
43:40What?
43:40No.
43:40Woah.
43:55What if it can't make it easier?
