- Previously on Salvation...
- Behold the savior

of the human race.

Dear God.

- You destroyed the rail gun.
- No, you did.

You gave us the plans.

We still have 58 days
to knock that bloody

space rock off its course.

I do have one last card left to play.

So we're gonna take a giant rocket ship,

bulk up its mass, and...

ram it into the asteroid.

But our scientists believe Tanz's plan

has a 20% chance of success.

Those federal bunkers,
there's a spot for me,

but I can also bring
my spouse and our children.

Grace, will you marry me?

The rail gun slugs you fired,

they're not gonna hit the asteroid.

The math is correct.

I personally checked it all.

The calculations used
to program the rail gun

are the same ones we'll need
to pilot the Ark,

and if they're off, then plan C...

Is no plan at all.

You're going up in the Ark?
It's a suicide mission.

Whatever time I have left,

I want to spend with you.

The Ark is half mine!

I am the only one with the launch code.

No way in hell I'll ever give it to you.

It's a sonic weapon.

Cover your ears!

- Hello.
- Liam, it's me.

They have Darius.

Hummingbird.

What are you doing?!

I am Noah, and I believe
you have my Ark.

What did I miss?

Something. It was right there.

No...

It all adds up.

Does it, though?

You promised you'd solve it.

You failed, Darius.

No, no, no, it's not over yet.

I-I, I just need a little more time.

We're out of time.

You're a fraud, Darius.

Never work for your heroes.

No, I-I'm-I'm not wrong.

Why? Because the great
Darius Tanz can never be wrong?

I believed in you.

Wait. Wait, don't go.

I've almost got the answer. If I can...

- If I can just solve for X...
- You failed, Darius.

- We're out of time.
- You're a fraud, Darius.

The hummingbird is X.

Never work for your heroes.

I just need to solve for X.

I'm not wrong. I can't be.

Darius.

Please stay with me.

I'm gonna get you out of here...

if it's the last thing I do.

Stop checking your phone.

We need to confirm
these mass and velocity numbers.

How am I supposed to worry
about math right now?

They'll get him back. Safe.

And even if we can figure out
how to close

the communication gap with the Ark,

Darius comes home and, what,
he hops on a suicide mission?

We still have time to figure out
the communication gap.

It's not over yet.

Ark hangar security breach.

Alycia, look.

- What the hell?
- Out of the way,

get out of the way.

We're under siege.

We got to move. Come on.

Get on the ground!

Get down! On the ground now!

Hello, Liam.

I told you we'd meet again soon.

You two?

Secure them.

Hey!

- Liam...
- Please.

...it's time to accept.

Darius, we have to move now.

No. I can't leave my work.

Where are you going?

What does it matter, Nora? They left.

Bass and the rest
of the selects, they're gone.

They're coming back for me.

Bass said I was chosen for Salvation.

It's a lie. They used us.

Like you used me?
I know you took my key.

I know you snuck out.
I will not be abandoned.

- Lay down your weapon...
- Stay there.

...and come out of the building
with your hands over your head.

Don't move. I'll shoot.

I swear!

Clear left? Status?

- I got 'em.
- Alonzo, I'm so sorry.

Darius?

Oh, my God.

I tried to stop them,

but they tortured him.

For what?

The launch codes.

They want the Ark.

But you didn't give them up... did you?

Salvation..

at last.

This can't be happening!

This can't be happening.

- We have to stop them.
- Darius, hold on.

- We got you.
- Grace.

Let's get him out of here.

Darius?

- Sit him back down.
- Darius?

Darius?

Where am I?

Mr. Tanz, it's all right.

Just relax.

He's awake.

Grace.

I'm right here.

I thought I'd lost you.

I need to get word to Liam.

Bass and Nick want the Ark.
We need to get to Tanz.

- Wait.
- No, it can't wait.

Get me out of here before it's too late.

Darius... it is too late.

The Ark is gone.

No. No, this is just a dream.

I'm gonna wake up.

H-How long have I been here?

44 days.

44 days?

You had a seizure, and you've
been sleeping ever since.

That means that the asteroid
is going to hit...

In three days.

We're three days away

from the end of the world as we know it.

It's just a painkiller,
Mr. Tanz, for the headaches.

No, no, I don't want anything.

I need to... I need to think straight.

What the hell did they do to him?

Sonic torture is a brutal
but effective way

of breaking someone down
without leaving scars.

Expect headaches,
memory loss, hallucinations.

It's like he suffered
a major concussion.

Ms. Barrows, we're getting ready

to close down here at the Pentagon.

People are going home to their families.

Of course. Thank you for everything

- you and your staff have done.
- Mm-hmm.

Grace, what's the plan?

How are we planning
on stopping the asteroid

without the Ark?

We're not.

Nuclear weapons?

That's insane.

They'll destroy the planet,

breaking the asteroid into pieces,

- killing billions.
- Yes, I know.

We all know.

Frankly, we're out of options.

People are taking refuge in
bunkers all over the world.

Yet you're still here.

Till tonight.

You and Harris...

We're supposed to move into
the government compound

with Zoe.

Darius.

Darius?

Grace... we can't launch those nukes.

What?

Wait, wha...?

I need to talk to the White House.

Now.

We've determined that

one coordinated nuclear explosion

will be the most effective,

controlled from one central hub,
the Pentagon.

It's madness, what you're planning.

- Mr. Tanz.
- Darius.

Nuking the asteroid,
you're dooming the planet.

Actually, we're saving the planet.

Mr. Tanz, our scientists assure us,

this is the best course of action.

Well, they're wrong.

We've assembled an
international coalition

of every nuclear power;
it's historic what...

Historic ineptitude is what it is!

You'll blow it to bits,
create enough shrapnel

to wipe out billions!

So, what are you suggesting?

We just wait for impact?

What if I told you that you don't have

to launch those nukes?

That the asteroid
is not going to hit Earth.

What?

I've been running
the calculations in my head

why the rail gun slugs never hit.

There's a reason,
because the original math

was correct,
which tells me there's some...

some gravitational anomaly

or some unseen dark matter

that's causing the asteroid to...

to move off its initial course.

Wait, you're saying
the rail gun slugs missed

because the asteroid's
course has shifted?

Impossible.

All right, DoD has been running
calculations for months.

It's the only explanation.

The answer is in the math,
which I'm trying to solve.

There's something there.

Darius, can you give us
something concrete?

Anything that can be verified?

I'm working on it.

Hey, I'm nearly there.

It's just, uh,

I just need to solve for X...

Mr. Tanz? Unless you can prove

with some certainty
that what you say is true,

with three days to go,
we have to do the only thing

that can save some semblance of
humanity and launch those nukes.

We load the bunkers up tonight.

We launch those nukes in 12 hours.

Godspeed, everyone.

Darius?

What you said in there.

You really believe Samson will miss us?

I won't know until
I follow this last theory.

But I need help, Grace.

My head's not right.

Exactly.

Why are you filling Grace's head
with nonsense?

It's not nonsense.

It's a mystery to be solved.

As all science is.

Harris, if there's
even a scintilla of hope,

I got to follow it.

We need to get to that
survival bunker tonight...

...if we don't want
to lose those spaces.

Let me know what you decide.

What now, mad scientist?

- Liam.
- What?

Darius.

Get off your asses, people.

It ain't over till it's over.

The asteroid, I don't think
is gonna hit us.

I have 12 hours to prove
that to the Pentagon

before they launch nukes that
will destroy the world...

- Is that all?
- Wait. Hold on, slow down.

How is that possible?

If I slow down, we run out of time.

I... I need you to not ask questions.

- Just do what I tell you.
- Okay. Okay.

- What do you need?
- I want you to hack

the government's nuclear weapons
upon launch.

The way RE/SYST hacked
the Russian missiles?

There isn't enough time.

If RE/SYST did it once,
then you can do it again.

No, that was all Nero.

He masterminded that entire escapade.

Then track him down.

Have you forgotten they disowned me?

And I don't even know who he is.

But you're the best.
You can do it. Figure it out.

Meantime, Grace, come with me.

Where are we going?

We need to find a hummingbird.

Now.

Figure it out?

As final preparations are being made

for the asteroid's impending arrival,

businesses are closed and
families are hunkering down.

This is our final broadcast
for WDCC, Washington, D.C.

See you on the other side.

At least I don't have to worry
about finding a parking spot.

Okay.

Darius?

You still haven't told me

what this has to do with the asteroid.

That's because I don't know... yet.

My unconscious mind is trying
to tell me something.

To, to solve X.

X, X, and X is th-the hummingbird?

No. The hummingbird's the metaphor.

For a long time,

scientists believed
hummingbirds defied physics.

It turns out, they just didn't
understand the physics involved.

There they are.

♪ Don't they know ♪

♪ It's the end of the world? ♪

♪ It ended when I lost your... ♪

He's frozen me out.

What? I can't believe he's ignoring you.

This is the end of the world.
You said it's urgent.

Well, for all we know,
he's gone underground by now.

Just like everyone else.

Okay, well, you must
have some idea who it is.

Right? After all this time?

It's not quite that simple.

Alycia, this isn't the time to be coy.

We are hours away from annihilation.

Okay, listen, Nero is a title.
Not a person.

Meaning?

The mask gets passed
from one leader to the next,

without the rank and file members

knowing the exact identity.

So no one person gets too much power.

You know I was next in line?

Until I was burned.

All this loyalty to an
organization, I don't get it.

RE/SYST... was the closest thing
to family

that I've ever known.

Or a loving relationship,
for that matter.

Alycia.

I know you still love her.

Jillian.

And it's okay.

Thank you for riding out
the apocalypse with me.

There's not gonna be an apocalypse.

We just need to get Nero to bite.

Oh, my God.

I know a hummingbird won't
save the world, Grace.

But it came to you in a vision.

Yes, a-a message
from my unconscious mind,

which I'm trying to unlock.

Now, scientists throughout
history have cracked

their greatest conundrums
through dreams, metaphors.

Bohr, Kekulé, even Einstein.

He dreamt the theory of relativity

long before he ever figured it out.

- Imagine that.
- He saw himself

sledding down a snowy mountain
faster than the speed of light

so that the stars would change
their appearance around him.

And now Darius Tanz

has his dream to follow?

What about you?

What... dream are you following?

Harris, the marriage...
I did it for Zoe.

So she could have a safe place

and, I don't know, maybe some hope.

And you're going with them?

Unless you can give me a reason not to.

I'm working on it.

Mom.

Darius.

Wh-What's happening?

Ah... there it is.

- There it is. There it is.
- What?

Hummingbirds shouldn't be
able to fly, yet they can.

The rail gun shouldn't
have missed, yet it did.

I'm so close to
a breakthrough, I can feel it.

Darius? Darius.

They change direction, on any plane,

and move back, as if they
haven't moved at all.

As if they're just hovering.

But the human eye can't see it.

The human eye can't see it.

That's it.

Grace!

- That's it.
- What does it mean?

We need to call Antarctica.

We need to call Antarctica.

Mom, is Darius okay?

I don't know.

Should've hooked this thing up
a long time ago.

Uh, Darius?

What's, uh...

what's in Antarctica?

Ice T. Not the rapper.

- A facility that studies neutrinos.
- Neutrinos?

Invisible high-energy
subatomic particles

given off by-by massive
expenditures of energy,

you know, like, li-like supernova,

black holes, that sort of thing.

The lead researcher, Dr. Carson.

I need to talk to him.

Hopefully, he is still there.

Oh, crap. Hold on.

International Consortium of
Transient Extreme Astrophysics,

Dr. Wendell Carson.

- Please hold.
- Carson.

It's me, Darius Tanz.

Tanz?

I haven't seen you since you were on TV.

You were president, then you weren't.

That was weird.

Carson, there isn't much time.
I-I-I need you to sober up.

Fat chance.
They left me here, Tanz. To die.

Carson, I'll send people for you,

the entire cavalry,
if you can just help me here.

Did you record
any unusual neutrino bursts

in the last few weeks?

Something in the...

in-in the ecliptic plane in Leo?

- Neutrino spikes?
- Yes.

Oh, hell if I know.

Hey, are you all right, Tanz?

You look like you could use
a drink, too.

Hey, Dr. Carson.

Hi. Uh, Grace Barrows,
White House Senior Advisor.

I'm gonna need you
to get yourself some coffee.

And get Mr. Tanz
the information he needs.

This is the difference
between life and death,

between the survival of the planet

and the end of the world as we know it.

Give me an hour, some caffeine,

and, uh, I'll look over the hard data.

I-I'll ring you back
when I have an answer.

Okay, thank you.

- Grace, I need, um...
- What?

I need to, uh... I-I need to sleep.

- Here?
- Yes.

Grace.

How much time do we have left
until they...

until they launch those nukes?

Seven hours.

There's something
I need you to do for me.

Nothing? Still?

Come on, Alycia, there has to be
some other way.

I've tried everything.

I've checked the old IRC rooms,
I've sent up flares,

I've even left messages
at the old dead drops.

Okay, what if, what if we went public?

What if we broadcasted wide?

Liam.

You could be in Rhode Island

in a few hours, in time
to be with your mom.

We can't give up, Alycia, not now.

We're not... giving up.

All I'm saying is

that everyone should be

with someone they love in the end.

That's him, that's him.

LadyHawk,

Galileo, aren't you two a pretty pair?

You have 60 seconds. What do you want?

Darius Tanz has a plan, but the
clock is ticking, literally,

and I have to believe
that you do not want

to incinerate the planet
any more than we do.

So what is this plan?

He doesn't think the asteroid
is going to hit,

and he needs us, you,
to hack those nukes,

like you did before,

and stop them destroying
the planet unnecessarily.

Why should I believe anything you say?

It's the end of the world.

Why would I lie to you?
Nero, bury the hatchet.

Before I do what you ask,

I'll need to verify what you're saying.

How are you gonna do that?

Leave that to me.

I'll be in touch shortly.

We got to tell Darius.

One box. That's all we're
allowed in the bunker.

Hard to decide what to take...

...what to leave.

- Harris...
- Don't.

No apologies.

We had a deal. This was an arrangement

to keep you, Zoe, our grandchild safe.

Whatever's going on with you
and Darius doesn't change that.

What's going on is that
I'm trying to help him.

Help us.

And-and I will do everything
and anything to stop...

The inevitable?

Grace.

Darius is talking nonsense.

All right, he's not well.

Maybe... or maybe not.

God, Grace, it's time to let go.

Look, this is not a dream, okay?

This is reality. We need to face it.

The one thing that's kept me
going all this time,

the one and only thing, is hope.

And, yes, the shades are
drawn, it's dark out there,

but there's still a sliver
of light coming through,

and until that's gone,
I'm not giving up on this world.

I'm sorry, I'm just not.

Now, Darius asked me to do
one more thing for him.

- Oh, God.
- I need to see Jillian.

She's still in lockup.

I'm aware. Isn't it time you let her go?

The government decided

not to release prisoners, in case...

In case what? The asteroid doesn't hit?

It's either coming or it's not.
Make up your mind.

Grace.

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

Hey, Darius. Darius, we found him.

We found Nero.

Liam.

Darius?

- Are you...
- Shh.

We tracked down Nero, asked
him to hack nuclear weapons,

and you're sleeping?

Thinking. Putting the pieces together.

Waiting for Ice T,
not the rapper or the drink.

Darius, everyone is running
around like headless chickens

'cause you said the asteroid
is not going to hit.

Yes. The hummingbirds led me

to Ice T and neutrinos and...

Now I'm nursing an incredible headache,

which I'm trying to work
through, if you don't mind.

Jillian, the rail gun.

Something went wrong.

It wouldn't have worked anyway.

Darius wanted you to know

not to blame yourself
for what's happening.

It would have happened anyway.

Oh, my God.

It's okay, honey. It's okay.

- I tried to keep him safe.
- He knows that.

He knows that.

I need you to tell me something.

When Darius was in that room,

did you notice him having

any hallucinations?

Yes.

Did he say anything coherent

while he was incoherent?

Oh, um, God, I don't know.

He mentioned hummingbirds, like, a lot.

Yeah. That much I got.

Is there anything else you can remember?

I don't know.

He said, "Get ready," like...

like he was preparing for something.

Get ready... for what?

Grace.

Can you call my dad and, um...

and tell him that I love him?

Can you tell Liam

that I'm sorry for everything?

Grace doesn't need to tell him.

You should do it yourself.

You're free to go, Jillian.

Harris. Thank you for doing that.

They're shutting power down.

Grace, there's no new information.

Nothing's going to change.

We have to report to that bunker
in less than five hours.

Are you coming with me or not?

I have to get this information
back to Darius.

"Get ready."

It could mean something.
If there's a reason

not to launch those nukes,
we shouldn't do it.

Grace, the only thing standing

between us and the end of humanity

are those nukes,
and I intend to launch them,

no matter what.

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Dylan?

Hey, Dad.

Do you have any idea

how much agony you've put me through?

You could've let me know you were alive.

It was my turn to assume
the mantle of Nero.

I did what I had to do to
protect our work and my life.

The government killed our
people, or have you forgotten?

You were behind all of it?

RE/SYST, taking the world
hostage with those nukes.

I used my army like you used yours,

to get things done, and we did.

We built a solar sail
with international cooperation.

You threatened to drop nuclear
weapons on New York City.

It was a bluff.

All of it was.

I never intended to hurt anyone.

Why come back now?

I'm being asked to hack those nukes

to stop you from destroying the planet.

Asked? By who?

Darius Tanz.

This... this is insanity.

Literally.

There was a time
where I would've done it

just because it was you.

But...

it's the end, Dad.

The stakes are way too high, and...

I'm gonna be a father.

- You know?
- I went to see Zoe

to say good-bye,
and she told me everything.

Dylan.

The leaders of the world
have come together

to make one last attempt
to save humanity,

exactly what RE/SYST wanted.

Credible, thoughtful minds

have come to this consensus,

and Darius is anything but right now.

We all wish there was a better way,

but the time
for wishful thinking is over.

Zoe and I,

we're in this together.

And I want to be with
her no matter what.

And you should be.

I have a place for you in a bunker.

I want you to take my spot,
but, Dylan, those nukes,

they are the last best hope we have.

And in five hours,

I'm going down to that war room
and doing my job.

Come hell or high water.

What the rest of you do, it's up to you.

Liam?

We need to tell Nero to call this off.

Liam, look at him.

He's making no sense.

Those nukes will at least give
the people in the bunkers

a fighting chance.

My last hours, and I let... Don Quixote

take me on another one
of his wild rides.

I'm sorry.

Everything we've done...

...solar sails, gravity
tractors, EmDrives, rail guns,

what the hell has any of it amounted to?

Nothing.

Nothing.

Nothing!

Nothing!

Nothing!

Nothing!

It's over. I'm sorry.

Liam?

Jillian.

I came to say good-bye.

Don't go. Please.

You sure this is what you want?

To be with him?

We'll take care of each other,
no matter what.

What about you?

You should be with the one
that you love also, Mom.

Zoe, I...

I've made my decision.

I'm not leaving you.

Mom.

I don't need you.

But Darius does.

And if you still believe
that there is hope...

...go.

It's time.

Darius, you have an incoming call,

from International Consortium of
Transient Extreme Astrophysics.

Darius? Darius.

Ice T is calling.

Crap.

Tanz. I almost gave up there.

Sorry. Carson, wh-what did you find?

The damnedest thing.

You were right,
about the neutrino burst.

There were two, actually, that coincided

with the activity you mentioned.

Only, these bursts happened
inside our solar system.

I've never seen anything like it.

Okay, so there was

a massive burst of energy...

At exactly the same time
the rail gun slugs

missed the asteroid.

Meaning what?

I was right.

Carson, thank you. I'll be in touch.

You're sending the...

Liam, can't you see?
Our math was correct.

The asteroid did move.

But the trajectory, it hasn't changed.

Exactly.

Because it's a hummingbird.

It moved, and then it moved back.

Oh, that's... that's crazy talk.

Yeah, the only kind
we have left, it seems.

Okay, all right, fine.
Suppose you're right.

What do we do?

So long as Nero is stopping those nukes,

we're all right, for the moment.

But he's not stopping them.

What?

In less than an hour, Harris
is gonna push that button.

No! No, w-we can't let him. No. Come on.

We have to... This is it.
T-This is the moment!

We have to go now!

Who's coming with me?

Me.

I'm going.

What the hell? Count me in.

- Okay.
- Okay. Alycia, come on.

You know, I'm good here.

Good luck.

Sir, the access codes to
the global nuclear arsenal

have been confirmed.

All silos are on line,

and all submarines are at launch depth.

Awaiting your order.

- Thank you, General.
- Yes, sir.

Ugh, damn it, I thought
the loading dock was our way in.

- Try the south entrance.
- Everything's been locked down.

This is it. This is the way in.

What are you doing?

What do you think? Hold on.

Oh, my God!

You in that vehicle!
Hands up in the air!

- Hands where we can see 'em!
- Ms. Barrows?

- President Tanz?
- Gentlemen,

we need to speak to
Secretary Edwards right now.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we will endure.

But make no mistake:

what happens here
in the next few minutes

will change the world forever.

Harris, stop!

Damn it, Darius, you really are insane.

No, he's not.

I've got the proof that I need.
There isn't enough time

to fully explain, but you need
to call off the launch.

Darius, you have to fully explain,

otherwise it's happening.

I need one reason not to destroy
that asteroid. One.

Because...

...it's not an asteroid.

What?

- Abort launch.
- Sir.

You heard me. Abort launch.
Stand down the missiles.

All of them. Do it!

You heard the man. Abort launch.

Notify all personnel to stand down.

Command Alpha-Zero, abort all.

Copy that, abort. Stand down.

Abort launch. All personnel, stand down.

Affirmative, Alpha-Zero.
Abort confirmed.

What have I done?

Let's go and find out, shall we?

It stopped.

What's it doing?

Hovering.

Like a hummingbird.

If it's not an asteroid,
what the hell is it?

Whatever it is...

...it's here.
