Original subtitles

Previously on Surface, two brothers were on a fishing trip.

One of them was taken by a mysterious creature.

Now, the other one is losing his family. I'm not sick! Healthy people do not

hallucinate! My brother is trying to talk to me. I cannot live like this.

Honey! Eddie won't stop until his questions are answered.

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

out there, isn't it? Whatever it is.

A government scientist discovered the key to the mysterious creatures. I found

it. I know the origin of the species.

But powerful forces don't want the world to know.

A biologist tried to save the information, but traded his life for the

secrets.

Now it's up to her to unlock the mysteries of the species, which she has

seen face to face. This morning you saw a seaman's? Yeah.

But someone is tracking her.

And no one is safe.

A young boy found the eggs and secretly raised one on his own. He faced

a terrible decision.

Would he let it kill a man?

The surface continues

Roger

journey our 359 our kilo cleared as filed Going down today's the day I can

feel it challenge major general

Journey Air, you are cleared at 24,000.

Corbin Regional Tractor, are you guys reading any storm activity?

Negative, Journey Air 359 at Kilo. We have clear scopes all the way to Maui.

Roger, Corbin, but we've got some heavy turbulence up here.

Nothing on the radar or satellite, not a cloud in the sky.

Lightning storms, repeat, lightning storms.

Whoa!

Journey Air, can you verify position?

Journey Air, are you stable?

Journey Air, come in.

Journey Air, this is Portland Regional TRACON.

Respond.

Where's their signal? They don't have one. What do you mean they don't have

one? I mean they have dropped off the scope. They're gone.

He's dead.

They wouldn't be doing all this if you were dead.

Nim.

He's not moving, man.

It's like faces of death.

Would you shut up already?

He's gonna be fine.

Did he describe what got him?

Can't talk. He's in shock.

Is that a bite?

It's the least of his worries. Guy's got electrical burns over half his body.

For what? Animal control said he was chasing a crocodile.

Yeah, must have had a stun gun.

Miles, you speak critter. Tell that thing to shut up.

And then pipe down.

Dude, do you see us?

Who cares?

Let's go.

Ooh, hey, give me your cell phone. Why?

Cause I need to know where you live.

Probably watching your whole damn neighborhood.

Wait, what?

Alright,

anyone following?

What? I don't think so. Well, look, come on now. We need to check.

All right, there is a black SUV out there.

Okay, that's it. All right, take any chances.

Whoa, okay.

Let's just get off this highway. Let's get off this... Just turn, turn, turn

here. Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn.

How many of them were there? It seemed like just one, but maybe they weren't

even following us, which I don't know. I don't know.

Am I being paranoid?

Uh, shit. You got people ransacking your house and two people dead. What do you

think? You couldn't keep a tail on two civilians in a pickup truck? Is that

what you're telling me?

No, no, I don't want to hear it. That stuff's too valuable. I want it back.

They were on the main road to the marina. I want you over there now. I'll

have Baker come around the other way.

You find them.

Stop here. Stop here.

you have a suit back here, do you? No.

All right, we lost it.

Whoa, hey, what's going on?

I'm gonna get us the hell out of here. Huh?

These people think that they can come into my life, turn it upside down into

my home where my son sleeps.

What is this stuff? Is this petroleum based?

Yeah, it's from my chainsaw. You mind telling me what's going on?

That water's like 50 degrees in there. I left my wetsuit at home.

What do you know? How far are these?

Why'd you go in the water?

Hey!

Where are you going?

I'm going to get us a boat. I'll be back soon. Hold down the fort.

Hold down the fort?

Police guy definitely saw us. You don't know that. This is reality, man.

Fugitives don't get away. They're going to find us. They even fried that guy.

The guy fried himself with a cattle prod. Do you think they care?

He's an officer.

He's a dog catcher. And besides, it's not like they can try us. We're under

18. If they're in uniform, you're dead.

Doesn't matter what age.

They send you to juvie boot camp where you work fields 12 hours a day with kids

that have killed people.

Scouts aren't here. Cousin Tom gave time alone.

So what? Like, you want to bail?

No.

Just, you know, maybe it's time for the old white flag.

I'll understand if you want to bail, man.

But I'm not.

I can't.

I won't give up Nim.

Can you tell me a little bit about Miles?

Well, he's thoughtful.

Um, not academically.

But he's very... intense.

When he's fixated on something.

Has he been acting out lately?

Yeah. Yeah.

But so did I at his age.

You never did anything like this.

Was Officer Farrella hurt badly?

He's in the burn unit down at Capefield Memorial.

That's all I've heard.

And you think Miles did it?

I'm not making any assumptions.

Come on, come on, you dinosaur.

Just give me one.

Looking kind of shiny today.

You okay? V, get up here. You all right? Yeah.

I need a favor.

Negative. No more favors for you. Last time you asked a crazy-ass favor. Shut

up, Jackson. Shut up. Just listen to me. They killed Circo.

Kill? And his assistant.

Kill.

Listen, they've got people tearing up my house.

Right now they've got men up and down the bridge blocking it. Slow down. I

don't know what you're talking about. Listen, I need a safe place to go, okay?

I need somewhere off radar, and you're really the only person I know who knows

about that kind of stuff, okay?

Last time I helped you, I almost died.

Jackson, I don't know what to say to that. I'm serious.

I need your help.

You're lucky I'm rich and bored.

I did a little...

import-export with my crazy uncle back in the 90s. Jackson, not one of your

weird rambles right now, please.

Wait, wait. Think of it like a delivery service, okay? We didn't open the

packages. We just got them there fast.

And it was probably a whole lot safer than what you're getting me into now.

Look, Jackson, I really need to know whether you're, you know, gonna help me

out or not, because I've got to figure something out otherwise.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

You want it way off radar, right?

Yeah.

Anything? No, man. I'll flee.

Okay.

As long as we stay focused and don't spaz, I think everything will be okay.

Right. Stay focused. Don't spaz. Woo!

Remember the plan.

Don't spaz.

Right. If we run, it's a giveaway.

We're just a couple kids with a dog here. Yeah, no problem here, officer.

Okay,

kids.

Let's just take a little breather.

Before anybody does anything, they're going to regret.

Nobody's in any kind of trouble. Can't be fixed.

Not yet.

Whatever you got there, it's dangerous.

Almost killed a man, you know that?

Miles?

About an hour ago, 911 got a call from a kid about your age.

Sounded pretty broken up, almost in tears practically.

That's what the operator said.

But you know what?

That call saved an officer's life.

I think that kid wanted to do the right thing.

I think he doesn't want to see anyone hurt.

That's not a pet you got there, son.

Now you and me need to work together.

Make sure nothing bad happens. What are we doing? Boys!

We can outrun them.

this milestone.

What is all this stuff?

It's, uh, it's Dr. Alexander Serko's research.

Welcome to the boneyard.

Totally off the grid. We got our own water, generator, gas supply.

Locals think my uncle's some kind of pirate.

Probably not too far from the truth.

How long since you've been here?

Uh, about three years.

Well, it's kind of a pit, bro, but, uh, I like it.

You got a nice front yard, that's for sure.

A lot of good memories.

Hey, D.

What's that?

What's this?

Good question.

Looks dangerous.

Jackson. Sorry, sorry.

Oh, my God.

Where do you want me to put it?

Somewhere safe.

on Frank and Flower.

Hey, Doc.

Where do we start?

Pull up a traffic.

Well, I'm here.

Are we infested or not?

Serco's dead.

How? Car wreck.

I had a bureau team work over the accident site.

And? Nothing.

Looks like a single car accident.

Does he have a wife?

Widowed ten years ago. No kids.

Hitty. A hell of an asset to our investigation.

Irreplaceable.

Where does that leave his research?

It doesn't look like he reached any sort of conclusion at all.

Certainly nothing we can decipher.

What about that South Indian guy, Singh?

In the car with Serco.

Killed, unfortunately.

My assessment of the infestation is that we've got a lot of localized sightings.

A definite ecological concern, sure, but not a threat to security.

Is it worth the funding?

No.

What do we do now? We keep our heads on.

I need time to think. I need money.

We're not robbing this place, are we? No. What are you looking at?

Stay. Don't move. I mean it.

Hello? Hey, Savannah. It's me.

Girlfriend. Hi.

Why were you in trouble?

Believe me, I know.

Hello?

Hello?

You're breaking up.

Hello?

Miles?

Yeah, are Mom and Dad freaking out?

No.

They've never been prouder.

They say they've always wanted to have a killer in the family.

I didn't kill anyone.

Okay, maim them.

Savannah, just lay off.

I can't take this right now. I really can't.

Are you okay?

No. I need a favor.

I'm listening.

I have 300 hidden in my rollerblades.

Can you take it to me at the Zenith gas station on Military Cut-Off?

I really need it.

Well, Mom would kill me if I enabled you. Just bring it to me.

Look, Savannah, for once, just act like a sister.

I'm sorry.

I can't do it, Miles.

Because even if my car weren't blocked in by patrol cars and I could get down

the driveway... Give me the phone.

Miles?

Where is he?

Where is he?

All right, so here I go. I got journals, sound files, tissue

samples, population projections.

Holy cow, is that in the thousands?

That's what happens when you have an invasive species with no predators.

What are these?

Those are tips, transionic pulse pairs.

You remember I'm an insurance salesman, right? Sorry, they're like satellite

photos of thunderstorms. Uh-huh. Why do you think Circle cared about that?

I, uh, I don't know.

Documented sightings.

And, uh, and casualties.

That's my brother.

I've got a picture of him.

How the hell did they know about this?

Look at that.

Four years?

Four years they knew about this?

And they've been covering it up?

Now my brother's a damn casualty file.

How many of these things you say there were?

It's like we just saw, man. Thousands.

More every day.

People gotta know.

Yeah, but people aren't gonna acknowledge it unless we have

overwhelming proof.

We've got overwhelming proof?

Look at all this stuff.

You recorded one. We tagged one.

Yeah, and my house got ransacked, and I got framed.

Okay, well, look, we're gonna have to find something that just can't be

explained away like that, Dan. All right? Something we can put on Larry

King. Blasting every home in the country. Yeah, but if you want proof, we

have to find out where they are. Well, we'll find out where they are. Fine,

here, come on.

Here, what's that?

N-O-S-S-U-R data under C-Sound files.

That sounds fascinating.

Go ahead with it.

Come on, you're the scientist.

Hypothesize.

So, is she gonna hook us up?

Can't.

There are cops at my house.

Your parents don't give you, like, a credit card for emergencies or anything?

No. Dears.

Would I be asking if they did?

No ATM, no bank accounts, nothing.

Oh yeah, there's that money my parents set aside for the day I became a

fugitive.

Okay, so we can't afford a bus ticket because we don't have any money.

Hey, maybe let God give us a ride.

Negative. We had a bad vibe a couple minutes ago.

Savannah.

Hey.

Two boys, right?

Around the back of the building.

Okay, thanks. We'll take them from here.

Oh, no. I want to see this man.

Are you sure they came back here?

Yeah, I'm sure. Two kids and this little dragon thing.

Why don't you drive? I thought your cousin taught you. It wasn't automatic!

Clutch! Shit!

You're gonna let it out.

Dude, we're driving.

How we doing? Good depth?

Yeah, 4,300 feet. They're all between 4,000 and 5,000.

Hey, all right. Now, hey, that's some concrete info, ain't it? Yeah, but

they're bottom dwellers. They're almost a mile down there.

All right, wait.

Let's get down there.

Without a sub?

Yeah, okay.

I mean, besides, we're not talking about a single coordinate here. We're talking

about 10,000 square miles of rough ocean.

I abandoned my six-year-old son so I can come here.

I don't even know where we are, and I'm supposed to pick him up tomorrow night,

and it's like I'm in a shack in the middle of a junkyard. I don't want to

hear that, all right? Look, this is my brother on this map, okay?

I know. I left my kids, too, all right?

Now, come on. You keep looking. You've got to keep looking, and you're going to

find something. I've looked. I've looked.

I've looked there.

I've looked in the research.

And you know what? Maybe a lot of it would make a lot more sense if I just

had an internet connection or maybe just a cell phone or perhaps just a clean

glass of water. All right, all right. Just let me show you something, okay?

These holes?

Yeah. You've seen these holes, right?

Yeah. All right, now these holes, I obsess over these holes.

I see them in my sleep. I see them when I'm awake.

I mean, I see them in the shower, all right?

Now, I don't know what it is, but these mean something.

And you've been working your whole life for this moment, right now.

You want to discover?

You want to show them? Then show them. Do it. Make history.

Dinner?

Daughtry, knife, matches, silverware.

Rich?

Yeah, beer.

Amen.

So even with this whole operation, Circle never really figured anything

out?

Maybe there really wasn't that much to figure out.

He sure seemed convinced.

Yes, he did.

Scared the crap out of a room full of senators with that invasive species song

and dance.

Scary idea.

Circle was an academic.

Everything was alarming to him.

So you're sure about this, then?

Pulling back from DEFCON 1?

Well, you know best what resources you have and whether or not this is a

military issue.

Yeah.

But I do not want to find myself in front of a Congressional Oversight

Committee in a couple of months explaining why I ignored a national

threat. Yes, sir, I know.

What I meant is, so there's some new species.

Isn't this more the province of fish and game?

God help us.

They'll set a bag limit.

Fair problem, yeah.

The situation

is manageable.

The investigation's gone.

Yeah, she's still unaccounted for, along with a few boxes of research.

I will.

Give me some time.

Keep him out of sight, man. You're conspicuous.

Come on, Nimbus. Back inside.

Come on.

Miles. Come on.

Whoa. Dude, talk to the hand.

Did you see what Nimbus did? Could you focus?

What's your problem?

My problem is Grand Theft Pizza, dude.

This is a stolen car.

We're talking juvie boot camp. You can bail at any time, dude. I told you that.

That's not what I mean.

He's not like some pet, Miles.

What's that supposed to mean?

When you think about it, there's not much choice.

I'm not turning him in. I know.

You saw those guys. They'll kill him.

He needs to go back to his people, dude.

We're his people. No, we're not.

We snatched him out of the water when he was just an egg.

But he's not literal anymore.

Really not literal. We can't give up Nim.

We can't protect him, Miles.

What he needs is to go back.

To the ocean.

They're called to.

It's gonna be.

How long you say you've been coming out here, man?

Did my first salvage dive about a mile up the coast when I was eight.

It kind of reminds me of the bayou.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Those population projections hold.

We won't want to be anywhere near the beach a year from now.

Who needs a beer?

Me. Please.

Okay. Thank you.

Hey.

She's so amazing.

Yeah.

She is.

You and her ever.

Oh, dude.

Yeah.

What's your wife think of you being out here?

Yeah. Yeah.

Not too happy about it, I tell you that.

So, what about you?

About me what?

You guys ever?

Uh,

we had a little thing once.

Oh, man.

A little thing?

Yeah, right.

Well, I know what's going on.

What?

I know why I'm out here in East Bumble. I'm pretty sure I know why she's here.

Now I know why you're out here, fella.

Oh, yeah? Yeah.

Why is that?

Because you're chasing another kind of creature.

You're chasing the love creature.

The love monster.

It's okay, man. I won't say anything.

Ain't gonna last long with this thing on top.

Do you think he'll miss us?

Animals don't miss.

All they want is food.

No, Nim's not like that.

He's like having superpowers.

You know, like he can fly or having x-ray vision or something.

Nothing this cool happens to anyone.

No one and and now we have to give him back because because I'm Stupid don't

answer it. It's my phone, but why it doesn't matter don't answer it. Hello

It's for you

Yeah, Miles are you okay?

Yeah, I'm okay, where are you?

Miles last time I said where I was suddenly we were surrounded

Not about them, you're not.

Nobody is.

That's the problem.

Miles, don't do this, please.

Why do I always say the wrong thing with you, huh?

Um,

they say that you've sold out a car now.

And, um, that officer that your pet hurt is pressing charges.

And, you know, Miles, I just don't know what to do.

Miles, are you still there?

Miles?

I'm sorry I'm such a screw-up, Mom.

I really am.

I gotta go.

Don't!

Um, don't hang up, Miles.

Are you tracing this?

I don't believe it.

I don't believe it.

You're getting me a new phone, dude. Seriously.

Come on, dude.

Get in the car.

That's it.

We've got him triangulated. I don't know. Leanna headed toward the beach.

He sounded so scared.

He did the right thing. We've got to get him home. Let's go.

No. We'll handle it from here. We're coming with you.

It's lightning. It's electricity. They need it to sustain themselves.

The Frankenflower.

Yes, the Frankenflower, but also the species itself.

Think about it. Remember when we tagged one that day?

The boat for its time. Exactly.

Everything electrical was gone.

Hey, the same thing happened in Bellina's Bay.

Yes, the entire power grid. Bam! It was like the creature zapped it somehow.

Maybe that's why Circa wanted those photos, the satellite photos.

He was tracking them somehow.

How? What, by the thunderstorms? Well, not quite. I think that the creatures

are the storms.

Okay, look.

Same coordinates, exactly a year apart.

Here, look, let me show you.

Look. Same coordinates, same place, every year. Late November.

It's already the 7th.

Exactly, which is why we have to get out there soon.

No, we gotta do more than that. We gotta get down.

Look at this.

Alright, look at it. The holes, right?

Look, same longitude, same coordinates. These holes are right underneath these

storms. Ha!

We want to get on Larry King, you want to blow this thing wide open, we got to

come back with whatever's down that hole.

Why down?

Because the answer to what happened to my brother is down that hole.

Hey, how about this?

Yeah. No, yeah.

That's good. Put it in the keeper pile.

You know what I like about you two?

You're fantastically unrealistic.

Allow me to support your delusion.

Hey, man!

What the hell?

Boiler. Scotch marine my uncle salvaged it off an old ski.

Knew it was here somewhere.

Looks thick enough.

We could extend this opening into a window.

You give me a cutting torch, I'll give you whatever you want.

Enthusiasm, that's good.

Just remind me one last time why we think this is going to work.

In 1930, William Beebe and Otis Barton locked themselves in a 5,000-pound tank,

hooked it up to a winch, and dropped it off the coast of Bermuda. Before that

day, the deepest manned dive was 500 feet.

Say, Lynn.

Within a month.

They were half a mile deeper than any human had ever been before in what

essentially was a hollowed cannonball.

Hey, man went to the moon in a tin can, okay?

Talking a bucket of bolts and some elbow grease. We can do this.

Unfortunate about Serko?

Yes.

He was a good man.

Best graduate student I ever had.

Not surprising he put it together.

And Dal in the Pentagon?

I characterize the species as a strictly ecological issue.

No threat to security.

He defunded us this afternoon.

Everything's being boxed and shipped to deep storage at Mechanicsburg.

You said you needed eight months of non-interference.

Now you have it.

And, uh, what about the missing documents and the plant?

I've got men working on recovery.

It's a matter of time.

I know you were fond of Serko, but it was a necessary step.

Serko had a curious mind.

A dangerous mind.

I knew him very well, you see.

We took a trip once.

Let's look at the most beautiful orchid.

Long, long time ago.

Phil.

Anyone in their right minds would have bailed by now.

You saying I'm crazy? I'm saying, you got us this far, I'll take it from here.

No one's actually seen you in the car yet. I'll just, I'll tell them I stole

it myself.

You take one for the team?

Yeah.

For you.

Thanks. I'm good.

There it is, Nim.

Where we found you.

Okay, out.

Both of you.

That kid won't quit.

take them everybody spread out come

on run back this way

we

got him it's us in the water

3-7 in pursuit.

Wrightsville Beach, head south. He's heading for the breakwater.

That's just up ahead.

Come on, then.

Come on.

Jim? Jim?

Don't ever stop, Jim.

Never.

Go, Nim.

Miles! Miles!

Miles! Miles!

Let him go! Smack, Miles!

Go, Nim.
