Previously on Surface.

We identified the tagger. Laura Daughtry?

Information must be controlled.

If anything happens to Dr. Daughtry, I will quit.

He just ate Amber Lou's dog, dude. That's bad.

Mr. Farrell is here from animal control.

Howdy. You gotta move Nim now.

I thought I put Nim inside your mom's car.

Oh, you boys are in big trouble. Come on.

Well,

young man, you've really updone yourself.

Lying to us about a pet lizard.

Anything you want to say for yourself, partner?

I'm going to talk to the only person I know that saw the same thing I did.

Is that a whale?

Would you mind coming with me for a moment?

Who's asking? Yeah, just hang on a second. Nobody's going anywhere. Hey,

hey, hey, hey!

My little brother didn't die for nothing.

Sure, buddy.

Hit the car.

Rick? There are government interests that want to keep control of what is

happening here.

They have decided to have you involved.

Why should I work for you after what you've done to me?

Because you will be present for history.

It's happened.

See? I was looking at a sea orchid, and it hit me. Come. It was... It was

triple bond.

One I'd never seen before.

Adenine, glycine, carotene. Over and over again.

AGK, AGK, AGK. With no detectable mathematical pattern.

On the first chromosome, 15 sector, 29 quadrant.

It wasn't.

until I looked at the sea orchid that I realized.

I haven't had my coffee today.

I found it.

What?

The origin. I know the origin of the species.

I know where it comes from.

Did you hear something?

Uh-uh.

Nim, no.

What are you doing? You stay where I put you, okay?

You know what would happen if Mom found you down here?

Salt.

Like the ocean.

You like that, huh?

Come on.

Frankie.

Everything so far.

Only the beginning.

We have to set you up in Washington immediately.

With Dahl?

Yeah, with everyone.

Pentagon, DOD, White House.

Let me make a call.

Get you on a plane to D.C.

They're scrambling transport from Edwards.

A DoD plane will meet you at the tarmac in 30 minutes.

You are not going?

This is out of my league.

Good luck.

I understand why you're not coming home in the meantime.

Because they made me sign an affidavit that says I won't leave the state until

my court date.

So you are not going to see the kids for a month?

No, I don't like it any more than you do, babe.

And we have to pay $2,500 to a bail bondsman?

You think, Miss Curse?

I think so.

Hello? I wasn't going to ask you for that money.

You can't enable him.

Rich.

You know we're only getting a paycheck for three more weeks. Of course I know

that, baby. Come on.

Look, you're going to have to have some faith here, all right?

Is Daddy in jail?

I do have faith.

Real faith.

Well, how about having some real faith in me?

You know, I'm doing what I think is right here.

Don't twist this around on me when you were the one in California with some

other woman.

All right, we can't talk about this right now. I love you. Bye.

I can't tell that woman nothing. She just... When it comes to time, you gotta

trust someone.

Oh, okay. Thank you very much.

Thank you, sir.

Everything okay? Who was it?

Marin County Sheriff.

Well, thank you for coming down.

Like I told you, this is an older gentleman, a hit and run.

No witnesses?

No. And no skid marks before the impact.

Why'd you call me?

Well, the paramedics found your business card near the body. It's the only lead

we got.

Now prepare yourselves.

The victim has multiple blunt force injuries. There is significant bruising

and abrasions.

Do you know him, ma'am?

Yes.

Um... His name is... His name is Alexander Serko.

Alexander...

C-I-R-K-O.

Mind if I ask you a few questions, ma'am?

Not at all.

I'll tell you one thing.

That wasn't no car accident.

You see him two days ago, y'all swap war stories and bam, hit and run. Come on,

that doesn't sound weird to you. Circo just told me he was bringing me into the

investigation.

Exactly. That's what I'm talking about. You're almost in and he gets in an

accident? Come on now.

You know what? Let's try to get out this way.

Geez, Nim, what did you do?

Oh my gosh, Nim, I told you not in the house.

He's gonna sleep the whole day away.

Nim, stop. No play. Nim, no play.

Stop that, boy. Let go.

Smile.

Stay.

Well, I was beginning to think you'd gotten bitten by a tsetse fly.

Um, I didn't sleep so good.

Ugh. I don't blame you. It smells horrible in there.

Why don't you clean out the pigsty?

Yeah, okay. And you promised to sweep out the garage today. I'll do it.

Geez, man.

Stay in there. I'll be back.

Well,

I'm actually walking out of the house right now.

Yeah, so can I call you later?

Yeah. Oh, that. Well, holding your children accountable, that's all it

takes, really.

Yeah. Miles? Yeah. Miles is coming around.

Yeah. Okay. I'll talk to you around day two.

This is Alexander Circle.

Dress you up down in there.

I see him.

Yeah, I got it, I got it.

Go. Go.

Yeah.

Out here.

Anything?

Come on. Move. Move.

Everybody.

There he is.

Get there. Get there.

Hold on.

That's it. Security three. We got a breach on four. Let's take our south

elevator.

All right, what does it say about Serko? Serko is a maverick among biologists.

It was critical refinement of Darwin's origin of species.

Polarize the scientific community well, I'm more than just polarized I mean he

was stripped of his chair at Berkeley for his theory of spontaneous

equilibrium And cast him as a defiant outsider for the latter stages of what

was once a bright academic future friends. No guy had enemies Definitely

was not an accident.

Can you give me some salt?

Yeah, where's it? I'm on the counter

Never do that to me again.

You hear me?

Do what?

What did that man say to you? What did he want?

He wanted to know where to fish around here.

Have you found Dr. Singh?

We haven't been able to locate him as yet.

But you've taken care of the recovered research?

Yes, sir. Packed up and shipped to D.C. as you requested.

We're organizing a team debriefing for lower personnel.

There is...

One issue, however.

What is it?

Video tape from the lab showed that Singh might have gotten away with the

specimen. Some kind of marine flora.

Find Singh.

Recover the specimen.

It's of the utmost importance.

I understand, sir.

Oof.

Phil! Hey, Bobby. Phil!

Hey, will we get inside?

Don't let my mom see us together.

From now on, our friendship's gotta be covert.

Why? I think you're a bad influence.

So that's how it is?

A little adversity and you just throw me under the bus? I'm grounded, man.

I've never been grounded before, ever.

Not for anything.

Well, if it's any consolation, Nim's back.

Big whoop.

I think he never liked me anyway.

Is that my dad's car?

What's he doing home?

Mom?

Is dad home? Yeah.

Why do you suppose that is, Miles, huh?

Whoa. Is it here?

Huh?

Uh, what?

The thing. Is it here?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Miles, I can't listen to this anymore.

I've had it. Your dad and I both have.

Mom, if you just gave him a chance.

What did you say?

If you only met him... I did meet him, Miles. He was in my kitchen cabinet.

This isn't about your lizard. It's about your lying.

I'm very disappointed in you, son.

I'm up to my ass in depositions on a Saturday. The last thing I need is your

mother calling me up hysterical in the middle of a work day. I know, Dad. I'm

sorry. Sorry isn't going to cut it anymore.

I'm tired of sorry.

I wouldn't do that, Dad.

Son of a bitch, the teeth on that thing.

You wouldn't hurt anyone.

It's in the floor, isn't it?

Isn't it?

In the floor. Miles, out of the way. Out of the way.

Promise you won't hurt him.

It's already killed a poodle, Miles. What do you want it to kill next, a

baby? Your sister?

Don't answer that.

It's in the walls now.

You come to me. I trained him. You can't train a lizard, Miles. He's just scared.

Shh, shh, shh.

I trained him to do a lot of things. He pitches, and he knew these jumps out of

the pool.

This is all a big joke to you, isn't it?

You're 14 miles.

You're too big for pet lizards.

Time to start acting like an adult.

I'm trying.

Like you were trying to tell the truth?

Honesty's all we got, buddy.

That's it.

Without it...

We're strangers.

Just go to your room.

Please don't hurt him.

Just go, Miles.

Now.

Well, come on. You think you can take the champ? Let's have it. You think you

got what it takes to take the belt?

Come on.

You biting my hair?

Look, I got the suplex on the bus. Damn.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Look, look, look.

It's us.

Hey, hang on, buddy. Hang on. ...with us now, an eyewitness. Now, tell us, what

did you see?

Um, this huge thing.

I don't know what it was.

It had orange eyes. Oh, come on. Really smooth skin, like a salamander. Are you

seeing this?

Salamander. ...river road at the mouth of the bay.

Also on a day of the new moon.

These creatures are connected to the Zodiac. Well, whatever it was, it was

selling a lot of T-shirts. For now, News 3, Michelle...

Hey.

Hey, man.

Hey, you all right?

Come on now, buddy. Wake up.

Oh, my God.

Do you know him?

Yes, he's Krishna Singh.

He's an evolutionary biologist. He's Serko's ran-hand guy.

I'm not getting a pulse.

Oh, my God. I feel sick, Rich. I really do. I can't even. Hey, hey.

Everything all right out here? Hey, hey, there's been a bad accident. Could you

please call us an ambulance?

Sure, right away.

Try to open from the inside that door. Let's try to get that door open. Just

reach in with your hand. There's a little handle in there.

Hey! Hey!

He... He wanted you to have this.

Just take it easy, man. Just take it easy.

We could just throw it into the ocean.

We could.

Forget that we even got it.

Walk away.

You know, call the police, let the authorities deal with it.

Yep.

The authorities.

Like Serco.

Sing.

You know...

Whoever hit Serco and killed Singh, they want what's in this locker.

And we go sniffing around.

We're fair game.

Not only us, I mean our families too.

Walk away.

And this ain't just about my brother anymore.

There's something more. I can't explain it.

But I couldn't go back to hawking insurance policies if I tried.

I understand if you want to do something different.

Have you taken a look at the house upstairs? Yes, I have. Yeah.

You know what? That's going to park pretty close.

I know. And I don't know.

I don't know that, you know, where do you start with that?

Well,

that's why we need... Word to the wise ass.

You might want to stay in your room.

So, what are they doing?

Uh, wondering how they ended up with such a defective son.

Just so you know, boys and their creepy animals, you're supposed to have

outgrown that by now.

Did Dad find him? That's what you're worried about?

That thing?

Did he? You're hitting puberty and going completely insane.

mom and dad are only trying to help you

you've

heard the horror stories of affluent kids with a sense of entitlement right

Yes. I just don't want that to happen to my old Ron.

Yeah, well, we've already given him too much weight.

First it's lying, then he's sneaking out, getting drunk with his buddies,

then he's dealing pot.

Well, I didn't have half the advantages.

Half. Well, look what he's done with him. I just think we should at least

explore other options.

Like what?

Well, something outward bound. Maybe military school. Something that'll keep

his character.

Visible.

I didn't even know where he was going with this whole thing. I don't know

what's wrong. I don't get it.

But we've got a decision here.

Are we going to be parents or are we going to be friends?

Come on.

Okay.

We definitely need to find you a new crib.

Because, well, we may have just been voted off the island.

Which, you know, in a way, I understand.

What did you do?

Ate some salt?

Oh.

And a poodle.

Which, you know, I guess is wrong.

But... I swear to God, man.

I really don't see it worth a big problem here.

Don't worry.

We're gonna stash it someplace safe.

Hi, Cheryl.

Hi. Sorry to intrude. It's just... Sean, hey.

How you doing, buddy?

How you doing? Hey.

Hey, how you doing? Rich Conway. Sorry, this is Rich, my friend.

I... Sean. Sean, pleasure.

I told you about him. He's the one who saw the... The new vertebrae. The new

vertebrae, right.

So I heard about your job.

What happened?

Something about plagiarism or... It's an allegation, Sean.

She was framed.

It's... It's really... Things are really complicated right now. And I think it

would be a good idea if Jesse stayed here.

There's a body outside our house.

Body?

You want to tell me what's going on, Laura?

Look, Laura believes the government's covering up the existence of a new

species and is killing people to do it. Well, it's not that extreme.

I mean, well, it is that extreme. I mean...

The situation is really extreme. And I think the same thing, too. But, Sean, I

know how this looks and I know how it sounds, but I wouldn't do it if I didn't

have a reason.

Hey, Jesse, why don't you come on in and I'll put you to bed?

Yeah, okay.

That's a good idea, right?

Hey, you know how much I love you, don't you?

Infinity.

Infinity plus one.

I'll find it.

Tomorrow we do this.

Let's go.

Not bad, right?

I mean, it still can matter sometimes.

It's like a hang-up.

You know, Mom and Dad aren't usually like this.

They just gotta get used to you.

That's all.

I gotta go.

Yes, sir, that's right. He's been gone about five or six hours.

Yes.

I understand, but he's never run away from home before.

Yes, sir.

Okay. Thank you.

Don't worry.

He's a smart kid.

He'll be okay.

Well, prison.

Lots of cover. Good place for a sniper.

Can you shut up and help me with this thing, please?

That's it. That's it.

I'm not really good with small spaces. I'm a girl.

Oh, come on. You're a girl. Drive submarines and tags a little sea crane.

All right, all right. Give me a break. Put your butt in there.

Better come out in 10 minutes. Call the police.

Yeah, yeah.

Shoot, if you're not back in 10 minutes, I'm calling an airstrike.

Stay calm.

Rich, you gotta see this. You're never gonna believe what's in here.

Hey, hey, hey, daughter, come on. What are you doing?

I need you to pull me in. There's somebody coming.

Yeah, but I, you won't fit.

Yeah, but I can't even, I mean, I can't. No, no, stay. Come on and get me.

There's somebody coming. Rich!

John, get in there.

I gotta go.

I'll be back, okay?

It's just that, I don't know, I got school and my parents, I don't really

want to think about my parents.

I need you to stay.

Stay.

Must have been watching us the whole time.

Don't you think we should come clean? I think we should come clean.

These are not people that are going to listen to reason. You know what I mean?

We don't even know what kind of people these are.

We need a weapon.

We should just go out there and just, you know, pretend like we're totally

meant to be here. We've got keys.

I'll tell you what. You talk.

I'm going to head. We'll see who gets out of here. What the hell is this shit?

Use your imagination.

Hey, the car's gone.

It's gone?

Yeah, just a little bit paranoid, I guess, huh?

No, you're not.

That's what they do. That's their technique to get you out into the open.

Wait, what are you talking about technique?

How the world do you know what their technique is? Because I'm an

oceanographer and I spend a lot of time on boats reading spy novels. Wait a

minute, just a second. You're talking about reason I went on that? Remember

that I got framed and that Circo is in ICU and that Singh is dead. Just because

you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you.

Cut this much out!

You folks having any trouble?

Supposed to check in at the guard station.

Yeah, sorry about that.

Almost called the police, but I figured I'd come have a look, see?

Well, we'll make sure to do that next time. Sorry about it. Promise, okay?

Thank you, boys.

Feel like an idiot?

No, no more than usual.

Hey, funny looking thing, ain't it?

It's the research.

Hmm?

What? What research?

Mine.

He used my research to track the migration patterns.

Don't worry, Mr. and Mrs. Fournette.

The boat is gone.

You know he's on the water.

I'll find him. Be careful with him, please.

of trouble right now if you just stop and turn around we're gonna be fine

Okay, I'm gonna go.

It's not gonna be safe much longer. Get in.

Nym, get in.

Come on, Nym.

Oh, crap. Did you just hear the bejeebs out of me? Good.

Maybe you'll start acting normal. Your parents are wigging.

How did you find me anyways?

Did you see where I hid the boat?

How many times have we come here, idiot?

It wasn't that difficult.

Where did you put your bike?

Right next to the 5 miles here sign I posted up on the road.

Okay, okay.

They're gonna take him.

They're gonna take him.

We gotta, we gotta put him somewhere.

We just, we gotta leave.

You got any money?

Um, my little sister just had a birthday.

She said, you know, maybe a hundred.

Okay, I need it here.

I had almost 300 stashed up in my bookcase if none of them didn't shred

it.

So you probably think you're in so much trouble right now, things can't get any

worse.

That's not accurate.

Now step away from that thing.

You can't take him.

Is he dead?

We gotta call 911.

Dude! Take him. Take him!

No, no, um, that's terrible. I'm sorry.

Thank you.

Yes, thank you for calling.

What's up?

Circo passed away.

The police are calling it a homicide.

No, what are we doing?

I'm not leaving. There are laws. This is my home. I do not have to go. Get in the

truck now. Come on.
