Previously on Sanctuary...
I've just shut down Wall Street
for 12 minutes.
I'm Caleb.
As in Hollow Earth Caleb?
The most wanted man,
according to human authorities.
Aiding and abetting a known terrorist
is tantamount to treason.
Caleb wants to end this conflict,
as do the other Hollow Earth abnormals.
We're making a Homeland for them,
starting immediately.
You know I've always wanted to be free.
This is my chance.
So you've made your decision.
This is my home now.
The Fifth Ward is becoming ground zero in this war.
Your boss just signed up with the enemy.
You're coming to work for me.
This could actually be useful,
you working at SCIU,
inside the belly of the beast, so to speak.
Your first assignment
is to arrest and detain Helen Magnus.
Get out of the car!
You really don't want to do this, Will.
You left me no choice.
Magnus, don't do this.
Sorry, Will.
What the hell's going on, Addison?
Been in the planning stages for a long time,
just never seemed logistically feasible.
I mean, how do you coax a large number of abnormals
into one condensed area
away from prying civilian eyes?
Homeland...
- - We are live on the scene
of what authorities are calling
the largest toxic industrial spill
in recent history.
you just never noticed.
They just turned it into a prison.
Of course they have.
Doc, where are you going?
This district is full of strange beings
who have lived among us for hundreds of years.
What the hell is that crazy broad doing now?
I call them abnormals.
Oh, Magnus...
You know them as monsters,
and they very much exist.
I'm going to have to call you back, General.
Addison.
Yes, Mr. President, I'm sorry,
I was just on with the Joint Chiefs.
I understand, sir.
We're working up scenarios right now.
You will be my first call.
I'm not even going to bother asking
if this was part of her plan.
Oh, I had no idea this was coming,
but here's the deal, neither did you.
Trust me, it changes nothing.
We'll bring the media in line.
"Monsters exist"?
Good luck with the spin.
Are you still not on board here?
After the ass-kicking she just gave you?
Look...
I'll take getting beaten up by a girl
over being the fall guy to this mess any day.
Addison.
No, I assure you, Senator,
we have the situation well in hand.
Hey.
How's your head?
It'll heal.
My pride, however, is another story.
Ah, yes, well, some things can't be helped.
You know, I always said you were crazy,
but this?
It was vital that Addison and his agenda be derailed,
at least momentarily.
Yeah, well, that's happening.
Would you care to explain why?
Because creating a prison isn't the final move here.
It will be something far worse.
Come on,
even Addison wouldn't go that far.
Oh, the order won't come from him.
It'll come from higher up.
Look, I realize this is intolerable for you,
but I need you to stay focused.
You're in the right place at the moment.
To do what?
♪ Sanctuary 4x13 ♪ Sanctuary for None, Part II Original Air Date on December 30, 2011
== sync, corrected by elderman ==
[♪]
Operation this size, the government was ready
long before we helped Caleb set up shop here.
Oh, I'm sure they've been ready
to seal off any insurgent-held area for months now.
Anywhere, anytime.
I just thought we'd have more time to negotiate
before they acted.
And now, with us going public,
it's only going to get worse.
Or not.
To be effective,
SCIU needs to operate away from public scrutiny.
The media prying into Old City now...
They can't move in and arrest anyone.
Or worse.
What does that mean?
I was in Poland in 1943
when the Nazis entered the Warsaw ghetto.
I watched them raze it to the ground.
Thousands dead, the rest sent to death camps.
Walling people in
is always the first step.
They will not allow this Homeland to exist, Henry,
and trust me,
history always repeats.
What about the big guy? Kate?
They'll be fine for the moment,
but I need you and Nikola
to find out what SCIU's next move is,
including their version of the "final solution."
We can't let that happen.
Rough day, Greg?
Aw, she's a pistol, ain't she?
What is this about, Fortis?
Just want to bring a little light
into a dark day.
All that tech you leached from Tesla,
well, my friend,
you've impressed some very important people.
They want more.
In fact, there's talk about using it
in conventional combat operations by Christmas.
I was promised full control over everything we found,
not to mention
all operations pertaining to hyperspecies security.
You were supposed to break
the Hollow Earth insurgency,
and now it seems
they're having block parties in the middle of town.
What did you think was coming?
That you'd just arrest and detain
a couple of key insurgents,
and the rest would stay behind
and open a Bed, Bath and Beyond?
Congratulations, Greg,
on failing upwards.
We need to talk, sport.
What if I was to tell you I was getting boned from above,
that I don't have the control I thought I did?
I'd say, "why are you telling me?"
I'm going to make you a deal.
I pull back the curtain on the B.S. I'm facing
from the Star Chamber,
you tell me what Magnus is planning.
Come on, Greg,
the scotch isn't that good .
They're going to use Tesla's containment tech
on a wider scale.
Combat operations,
on humans as well as abnormals.
And what about the Homeland?
Your people aren't going to let them stay there,
and they're not exactly
going to let us be their jailors.
There was a plan in place, Will--
Was?
It changed.
Not my doing.
So you sent the top insurgents to the chopping block,
and now they're coming after your head.
You didn't see this coming?
Tell me what Magnus is up to.
Anything I can use.
Well, gee, Greg,
since you renditioned me from my job,
I don't exactly have access anymore, do I?
Look...
Whatever happens next, just remember,
you were on this side of it.
Details mean nothing to historians.
I'll see you at the Hague, kid.
Maybe we can share a lawyer.
I can't find out what Magnus is up to
because you locked the Sanctuary
out of every secure database in the world.
You want information, then let me work.
Even if I did unshackle you,
why should I trust anything you'd bring me?
Loyalty to Harvard.
Well, talk about monsters.
So...
How did that go?
We're in business.
It's no accident that I trust you, you know.
You've lived in the shadow of humans for decades.
You possess a balance of respect and distrust I admire.
Balance...
I'm not so sure about that anymore.
Well, from what you've said,
you've seen the best and worst that they can be.
Yeah.
You've seen only the worst.
Give it time.
The tide will turn.
Ah...
That is the reaction I wanted to see.
I'm not delusional.
I know we're in for some hard times ahead,
but we are far from helpless here.
War?
Evolution.
War is conflict, a waste of life,
but this...
This...
is the future.
A new age is coming,
and it will be the humans who serve us
when all is said and done.
We will be their Gods.
Look out.
So what are we now, Al's TV repair shop?
Some Red-Listers I know
ripped this off a barricade outside the Homeland.
It cost me a mortgage payment,
but it should give us a better idea
of what they're using to keep everyone inside.
Thing looks like
it transfers a buttload of energy.
Yes, but no visible output points.
So what is it,
some sort of communications node?
It looks a honkin' bit big for that.
A node, yes,
but not for communications.
For multi-spectrum containment.
Sound, magnetics, pure energy, anything you want.
You get enough of these,
you've got the ultimate invisible dog fence.
And you know this because--
Because I designed it, of course.
Oh boy.
It was only in the blueprint stages
when I left SCIU.
Fired from SCIU.
I left a few key design elements undone.
You know, thinking I'd get to it later.
Well, I guess
one of the bright lights down in the geek squad
figured it out.
And deployed it.
There's, like, hundreds of these things
encircling the Homeland district.
Huh... it works.
Listen, it's effective,
but harmless.
So you figured out a way
to keep the connection between these things
humming along despite the power surges?
Rotating frequencies for each node.
Now, the beauty of this
is it can contain
almost any type of creature.
It was a bitch to figure out,
let me tell you.
Okay, so riddle me this--
if SCIU decides to pump
50 million gigawatts of pure electricity
through these things,
making them talk to each other..?
They wouldn't.
You know that for sure?
Nikola?
Could these be turned into
a giant electrified web?
Yes. They could.
No incursion, no riots.
One switch, hundreds of bodies.
Dude!
It's not what it was meant for.
It's not what it was meant for!
Hey, Doc...
Ah, there she is,
a ray of light
surrounded by filth and grime.
I see you've met Bruno.
Indeed we have.
And may I say, there is no one else
I would rather be stuck in this hell-hole with.
Except for you, of course.
He's been more than helpful
smuggling supplies,
and certain people, into the district,
for a price.
You make it sound so cheap.
I have mouths to feed.
And you'll be paid for your services,
have no fear.
Just so you know,
in this time of crisis,
I'm waiving my usual service fees, all right?
Expenses, on the other hand,
are a completely separate matter.
But I'll keep my receipts,
and I'll just invoice you directly, or...
I don't know how that...
Whatever, we'll work it out.
You sound like a politician.
This was an experiment.
We knew there'd be setbacks.
Setbacks?
More like an act of war.
I promise you,
I had no idea that SCIU would respond this way.
I realize what this represents for both of us.
We have to come up with a new plan.
I know what you're going to say.
Let me buy you some time,
help get your people to safety,
out of the line of fire.
You mean back underground,
literally.
How is that any worse than living in a prison?
Hollow Earth is a prison.
That was before.
Now it can be whatever you choose.
Except a place where the sun shines,
where there are oceans, rivers, mountains.
Trade one ghetto for another?
I can't sell that.
There's more.
This entire district is covered
with an advanced electrical field
designed to keep you in.
We know.
It works, believe me.
We believe
that SCIU may try to alter its purpose,
create a powerful, localized electrical storm
within these walls.
You know this?
I believe it may be their endgame, yes.
Now do you see why you have to leave?
We're not leaving.
Then you're all targets for genocide.
If we run, we will be found again,
killed off one by one.
Maybe the best way to avoid it is to make a stand here.
Right now.
Are you really prepared to die
without a single shot being fired?
Part of a mass execution?
The surface wasn't created
for humans alone.
We have the same right to exist
as they do.
Inside these walls,
we live as free men,
able to honor our customs and traditions,
believe what we wish,
and, if it comes to it...
We'll die this way.
Okay, so, crazy, brave, or both?
I can't tell.
He certainly seems to believe
that this is his time and place.
To do what, become a martyr?
If he has to.
For him,
better to die with honor than live as a coward.
That is such a load of macho crap.
Difference of opinion.
I think he's lying.
If his concern really was
for the safety of all these people here,
he would have taken me up on my offer immediately.
He may talk about death and honor,
but he's a survivor.
Put Bruno on it.
Whatever Caleb's hiding?
Find it.
Okay, here we go.
Hello.
Oh...
It's you.
Looking for this?
Mouths to feed?
Yeah, the... Nice blue...
Yeah, I wanted to test the absorbency
of some paper towels.
I-I...
Stealing from Caleb?
Not a good idea--
Biggie, wait a minute--
you need a lesson in loyalty.
I'm good.
Bruno!
Wow.
That, uh, electrical force field thing
around the Homeland
is not fun to fly through.
Are you injured?
No, no, it's good.
I'm just... tingling in just the right...
No, no, it's good.
I, uh, got a package for you.
It's from the big guy.
He said that you needed to see it ASAP.
Yeah... just, um...
My work here is done.
I admit, you had me fooled.
I really thought you had gone dark side.
Caleb's a criminal, just like the rest.
I needed to know what he was up to.
You couldn't tell me or Magnus.
It's not safe to tell you,
not here.
Buenos Aires.
People died because of what I did.
He'll find out you took it.
Yeah. Probably.
So... so I say let's get out of here
while we still can.
You go.
Caleb's too dangerous to be left alone.
I have to finish this.
Tokyo, Dallas, Brisbane, Cape Town.
All just listed their facilities for sale or lease.
Four Sanctuaries closed.
That makes 12 in the last eight months.
It leaves London, New York, and here.
So what, she's downsizing?
Well, just because the Feds are putting the squeeze on us
doesn't mean the need for the Sanctuary network
goes away.
She's not exactly the type to buckle under pressure.
No.
Okay, so,
Magnus leaves London in 1898
for, she claims,
Nepal.
Where does she go after that?
Where would you go?
At the turn of the century?
Anywhere.
Africa, India, Australia, New York--
New York,
which is where Tesla is at the time,
working for JP Morgan,
building the Wardenclyffe Tower on Long Island.
Yeah, but she's supposed to be hiding,
not interfering with the timeline.
Yeah, but she's not interfering
if Tesla thinks that she's the Magnus from that era.
Oh, now, that's sneaky.
Bancroft...
What? What's that?
Bancroft is Magnus's mother's maiden name.
Why don't you look up Helen Bancroft?
Start around, like, I don't know, 1925.
Okay, uh...
Any context?
Engineering, futurism?
Okay... uh...
Helen Bancroft.
Lahore University, medical fellowship, 1916.
Helen Bancroft,
guest at private symposium in London,
hosted by Viscount Haldane,
uh, for--
Albert Einstein.
Add to the criteria Buckminster Fuller.
Okay...
1948, North Carolina.
Helen Bancroft.
Fellowship at Black Mountain University.
Shared an office with Fuller for a semester.
Add... Peru, Bolivia,
and Australia.
Helen Bancroft, on Board of Directors
for Great South American Mining Corporation, 1956.
And...
A Helen Bancroft opened a provisions store
in Coober Pedy
in the Australian Outback
in 1964.
Einstein, Fuller, South America,
I don't see the connection.
If this Bancroft woman is even her.
There's no photographic evidence.
We won't find any, trust me.
You had Feliz shut down Wall Street
for 12 minutes...
So you could liquidate everything
without anyone knowing.
'Cause you're almost done, aren't you?
Really?
Listen, I told wolf-boy it wouldn't work,
but did he listen?
No, he went off to buy new parts.
Well, how are you coming along?
Well, you were right.
The compounds are Praxian-based.
Mostly chemicals for air
and waterborne absorption.
More weapons of mass destruction.
But what I can't figure out is its purpose.
What's it meant to deliver?
There are no toxins, no parasites,
nothing reactionary at all.
Patience, patience.
Collating data as we speak...
Uh-oh.
Well, that doesn't sound good.
That's recessive DNA
derived from stores of source blood in Praxis.
You add a soupcon of genome-binder,
you have something very, very--
Potent.
No wonder he won't go back to Hollow Earth.
Well, our Caleb has some mighty big plans.
This vial contains a replicating virus
that, if released on a mass scale,
would genetically alter every human being on Earth.
Bringing their latent abnormal DNA to the surface.
Brilliant.
Evil, but brilliant.
But this could revive
every hyper-species that ever lived.
Vampires, shapeshifters,
even haps.
This would set human civilization back 2,000 years.
If Caleb succeeds in spreading this virus...
There won't be a free human left on Earth.
If you still want to arrest me,
I'll be very disappointed.
Coober Pedy, Australia.
Black Mountain, North Carolina?
Buckminster Fuller?
Took you long enough to figure it out.
That's because someone didn't trust me
with all the information.
I didn't trust anyone.
Nikola, Declan, Henry, Kate, no one knows.
It's supposed to be different when it's me and you, Magnus.
You have to understand.
All this started before you were born.
All this started
when you decided to chase Worth through...
Never mind.
What's done is done.
Consider our situation.
Caleb is planning a new age
of the deadliest races in history.
SCIU is intent on genocide.
What comes next
if one or both of those scenarios play out?
You knew all along
that Caleb couldn't be trusted.
Now do you see why your ego is the least of my worries?
I just...
Wanted to be part of it,
after all we've been through together.
Everything outlives its purpose, Will.
Now, what have you got for me?
Whatever SCIU's planning next,
it's going to happen tonight.
They're going kill everyone in there.
Tesla? Henry?
They aren't ready yet.
They're still searching for some bloody code
to shut it all down.
Okay, then let me try on my end.
If I can screw up Addison's plan somehow--
You'll just end up arrested.
No, I need to get to Caleb first.
Once he's dealt with, everyone else can be evacuated.
Can you handle that?
Magnus, taking on Caleb alone--
If you want to help, please...
Just do as I ask one final time.
I got your back.
I'll see you when all this is over, Will.
I promise.
Only one surface-brother knew about this.
Find him!
Hey, big guy.
That problem we talked about?
It's happening.
How many of them?
Enough.
If you want to stay, fine,
but I'm with you.
No arguments, you hear me?
I hear you.
We need to get up high, see them coming.
Through here.
Rooftop access?
Yeah.
All right.
Hey!
Don't do this!
Sorry, Kate.
Biggie!
You're safer in there.
This is my fight.
I greeted you like a brother,
and this is the thanks I get?
You're not my brother.
Take him.
No!
Team six,
night vision scans showing any movement in your sector?
Zimmerman, just in time for the show.
Whatever you're planning is a mistake.
That is entirely up to them.
Now, we delivered an ultimatum to Caleb an hour ago.
He either surrenders himself,
or we come in there and we take him down--
We both know he's not going to go for that.
If you send men in there, more people are going to die,
and then after the bloodbath,
there's only one move left,
to kill everybody else with your rabbit-proof fence.
We don't know that for sure--
Come on, Addison! You're being used here--
What choice do I have?
It's out of my hands,
and you brought me nothing.
Give me the security codes
for the fence around the Homeland.
I can buy us time.
You're insane.
You have a choice,
right now.
It's not going to last long.
Yeah, yeah, I got 'em, Will, but we need more time.
We still need to find the right algorithm
so the whole thing doesn't blow up in everyone's face.
Who is that? William?
Hey, listen here, you little creep,
we're working as fast as inhumanly possible, so--
what?
Yeah.
Yeah, we could do that.
Cut the power to the entire Fifth Ward.
I'll implement the kill codes for the death fence.
I can do that.
Hey, yeah, cutting power in five.
That should give you about 15 minutes
before they switch to a back-up grid.
You good?
Write a future-tech symphony in five minutes?
No problem.
Henry, talk to me.
Like, 20 seconds, dude, stand by.
Hey.
Nothing from Kate or the big guy.
No communication on cell or secure channel.
What about the energy field?
Good to go.
Okay, Will, power going down...
Now.
Listen, I may have bought you about 10 minutes,
less if SCIU is on the ball.
I'll take it.
I'm going to go in.
Will, I'm on my way.
I'll see you there.
Nice work, both of you.
Hang on.
Someone's at the front gate.
Let's get these vehicles out of here.
All right, guys, we're going in.
Oh, God...
No.
No...
Mind if we drop by?
By all means.
Welcome to my home.
Henry, Nikola! We have guests!
Going into lockdown mode.
I'm going to seal them off on the main level.
No, seal off the armory only.
We need to bring them into the Sanctuary proper.
Say what, then?
We fight them in close quarters.
Lure them into to the main lab.
Of all the very bad ideas--
Just do it!
What, not going au naturale?
You disappoint me, Henry.
I'm going to start conventional.
I'll go hap if I need to.
What about you, t-dog,
anything you need?
Just a target.
Shall we?
It's okay. We're here to help you.
Put your weapons away.
Everyone please listen to me.
You're all in grave danger.
We've got to move you out of here right now.
There are people
who are going to come in here shooting
very soon.
If you want to live, come with us.
It's all right.
Don't be afraid.
Come on. As quick as you can.
Get us out of here!
Caleb's on the move!
Copy that. Shunting access,
trying to drawn them into the main lab.
Good. I'll meet you there.
One stop to make.
Welcome.
Well done, Henry.
Somebody?
Someone help!
I thought he was with you.
Helen.
I'm fine.
Are they coming?
So, I notice all the residents are gone.
Caleb! Is he close?
He's on his way. He's not alone.
Where's Henry?
He's securing the last sector.
Go.
Quickly.
You seem mentally unstable.
Facing us alone?
I'm a chronic micro-manager.
Yes, sir, strike teams are ready.
No, sir, no delays,
just some last-minute target adjustments.
Zimmerman, you're out of time.
We're moving out.
Two minutes.
Kate, head to the Sanctuary,
south loading bay.
It's a shame, Helen.
We could've been friends,
standing shoulder to shoulder
watching the dawn of the new age.
It's too bad.
You're going to miss all the fun.
So will you.
Make it stop!
My house. My rules.
Bloody hell.
Oh, my God.
Hell of an exit.
We've got to get these people off the street.
Find a safe house.
On it.
I'm sure Magnus--
No.
No, she's not.
No secrets.
I broke our deal, didn't I?
Several times.
Can you ever forgive me?
I wish it were that easy.
What if I offered you the chance
to explore a world that you've been trying to see
since you were a child?
Oh, right, you already have a job.
Had a job.
I quit SCIU last week.
Well, then,
you might want to see this.
[♪]
Magnus...
Do you like it?
I get a raise, right?
Absolutely not.
Shall we begin?
