still looks the same

Boyer's doesn't change much out here I

guess I just don't understand why he

couldn't just say what he had to say on

the phone just be glad he called Daniel

he can't stay mad at each other forever

how about this win woke up this morning

thought I was in Kansas

Oh Sam don't you think they go nicely

with my dress

folks at the Weather Service say the

wind Eleazer be picking up or dying down

depending on which way you're walking I

guess either way it looks like so bundle

up and stay dry because we got 210

annual Moffett County potato festival

this weekend and nobody wants to miss

that don't be afraid to meet him halfway

we just drove in from Oregon Ellen I

think we've got a little more than

halfway already it's gonna be all right

well alright let's go

they'll be glad to see you anyways

God you know it's been a while

you seem a copy what's up with Flash

dad-dad

Helen at the dial nine-one-one

Daniel 911 operator

hello

you see me

Paul this is Frank Hagee he's an 82

congressman Mitchell from Idaho dr. Paul

Turner two days ago one of the

congressman's constituents was killed

when a propane tank leaked into his home

I'm sorry to hear that

Jay Ashworth was a member of a

consortium of farmers who supported

congressman mitchell since he first was

elected they also pretty much plant the

entire valley and they were about to

exercise their option to buy us versus

three thousand acres when they got

caught in some red tape an $18,000

government loan Ashworth received in

1976 as part of a subsidy package

the consortium paid off the loan but in

cases of accidental death the law

requires that a federal official review

the coroner's report and examine the

body before the land is conveyed I

appreciate you taking care of this so

quickly they tell me planting season is

just a few weeks away the only thing

I've ever plan is a leak in the

pressroom

hey tell the congressman that dr. Turner

will be leaving for Moffett Valley first

thing in the morning terrific

thank you yes you are Turner

since when do we run errands for

congressmen since this congressman sits

on a subcommittee that funds you Sam

right I've got my own work to do have

somebody else run your political favors

for you can't you tell when somebody's

doing you a favor go to Idaho sign on

the dotted line today is Thursday you

don't have to be back until Monday it's

called a vacation Paul take it

look at all the things they have it this

far I'm getting my backup three times

I'm getting my background three times

before lunch I may not let you how to

bed before lunch no I'm so excited we're

going on vacation I can't believe we

haven't done this can't believe we

haven't done it before now Wow weird

spud country

I don't looks like it might be fun yeah

maybe next year

I just don't see how people do those

autopsies doesn't that ever get to you

Oh song as the body doesn't sit up and

start talking leisurely okay Pat trust

everything was an order okay your

partner did a good job dr. Turner this

is Rex boiler he's a member of the

consortium that's gonna be taking over J

Ashworth land

appreciate you coming all the way out

here from Washington to take care of

this I'm sure you've got better things

to do with your time actually I'm using

the opportunity to go up to Sun Valley

oh good for you so let's get a couple of

John Hancock's

don't feel you have to read to find a

friend all the places you need to sign

or mark well believe me I want to get

this over with as quickly as I can but I

have this personal policy of reading

everything I put my name on you get much

seismic activity around here well

occasionally we feel little something I

felt that took care of I told you twice

already you got no business being away

from me energy

the same high school no more you see the

uniform I sign on those papers you gave

my dad's land to the people who killed

Danny not scared of you Rex

I'm not Archie right that's no dream get

out of here okay we don't need to hear

any more you're crazy

proof this time your dad didn't give you

the land Daniel you got to get used to

that he killed my dad even the rest of

consortium

get out

what happened J Ashworth is a real

tragedy but Daniel has been nothing but

trouble to his father since the day he

was born

so or were we

oh hey let's just so you know buddy you

just find my family's land over to the

devil all right I didn't find anything

not yet

you said you had proof that the

consortium killed your father

this line runs all the way under the

house yeah yeah

Archie boxes saying that the entire

propane tank came out of that hole right

there the guy that came this morning to

fix the tank so there's no way based on

what the excess valve right here was

tripped which would prevented it from

emptying out but it was empty

yeah because someone had opened the main

valve here then they drilled that hole

to make it look like the whole thing

emptied out

Helen asked for Sydney McMillan I'm not

interrupting no just so pretty out here

Dania says that just looking at the land

gives him a physical sensation hmm I can

understand that as farms been in his

family for over 100 years I guess we

both missed it so you're from around

here too

they know when I met in high school if

you can believe that took us a while to

get around to starting a family but

finally we just went for it figured the

rest would just fall into place

I'm sorry you don't even know me I guess

I just needed to vent

there's a lot going on right now us

being back here and a baby on the way

why are you expecting five months

congratulations thank you excuse me

listen I know how much you wanted to get

to Sun Valley believe me I did do you

have to say longer just for a night just

we can get a closer look at the

situation okay just as long as you

understand I am not letting you out of

that back row as long as you're staying

you might as well stay to dinner I've

been eating for two but cooking for four

thank you

Dana's father called us a few days

before we got here we haven't heard from

him in a while

I know it's cuz my mom died my mom was

alive somehow she managed to keep the

peace but after she died my dad and I

said some pretty harsh things to each

other it's mostly about him joining up

with a consortium you know in their way

a fireman if that's what you want to

call it

they grow one kind of potato same one

year after year after year

monoculture yeah which means using more

chemicals than the land can tolerate

farmers abuse the land once before when

we got the Dust Bowl after that it was

DDT and mercury chloride and sodium

arsenite fell I am sulfate you just seem

to know a lot about banned pesticides

well I pride myself on knowing what

kills the land I tried to tell my dad

about it he wouldn't hear any of it so

you lived you Argan it's not like we

we're fine with 3,000 acres land you can

walk on and not worry about your kids

nerve damage or lung disease we had

hoped that Jay was calling because he'd

heard about it I don't think it was

about that sweetie I mean there was

there was something in his voice

something was troubling him but he

wasn't specific well he wanted to see me

I figured whatever it was that made him

want to see me is what got him killed

you know for he's gotten away with

killing the land already you know he

figures he could just probably kill a

man why would you just see this huh

Helen

we'll talk to the sheriff tomorrow

you're not gonna get anywhere with that

he's a consortium boy he always has been

whosever seems to be hemorrhaging

slightly yeah

maybe we should stay longer thank you

I'll wrap up some samples parise you buy

anything yet looks like cause of death

is pulmonary edema fluid in the lungs

same thing that killed your father well

I understand propane killed my father

not necessarily I think the propane tank

may have been tampered with to divert

attention from what really killed him

oh you're saying he wasn't murdered

we're gonna find out what happened here

I want you to believe that the man I met

yesterday the one from the consortium x4

I want to talk to him his farm is just

the next one over I'll take you there

I should go along I I can hold my temper

with him okay up I think he may be more

open to talking to me if you're not

there I want to find out what's

happening here let me do that

okay yeah I'm fine I can entertain

myself thanks again for bringing me let

me show you around what

believe it or not I was Tate Aquino 1980

something and I was royalty how can I

refuse actually I'm still in moffat

Valley why because I'm not finished here

yet oh you were finished before you

started that was the whole point

signed the conveyance go on vacation Jay

Ashworth son has raised some serious

questions by the people who need to hear

it always managed to make a detour out

of a straight line now who is that I'm

sending you some bio material I was

hoping you can run a chem panel check

gasps blood levels what kind of oil

material actually it's from some crows

to drive carefully sure

there they're gonna miss it big potato

festival Oh find any evidence to support

Daniel Ashworth's claim actually I did

find some consistent information so

you're here to arrest me for murder I'm

not accusing you or anyone in your group

of murder and why don't you sign the

conveyance

I think J Ashworth was killed by gas

poison but not from a leaky propane tank

last night a couple of dozen animals

died on the Ashworth farm apparently

from gas poisoning I don't know anything

about to happen all I know is our group

has a legal claim for that land and we

exercised our right in good faith but

making Daniel Ashworth a fair market

offer but he doesn't want to sell the

land he wants to cult it's not our fault

that J Ashworth got killed yeah but we

know what happened

I'm not gonna wind up with nothing

taking a walk

she's been unconscious for 15 minutes to

cyanide 33 years of looking for months

pregnant her respirations shallow and

she's tachycardic wait take it from here

all right notify he'll understand they

were singing if they need you to stay

out here what are they gonna do to him

they're gonna put her on a respirator to

get more oxygen we're lucky that we

found her when we do what about the baby

we'll know soon they seem pretty

confident though today we're at the

hospital so they're gonna do everything

that yeah yeah

okay

yeah I'm fine this was caused by

something at the farmhouse it's gotta be

the same thing they killed those birds

and Jay

the hell's happening in this valley I

don't know what you're talking about

maybe you know someone who does Helen

Ashworth nearly died from some kind of

gas poisoning Jay Ashworth did dive if

you don't have the first clue of how

things work in this valley okay yeah I

think she's gonna be okay but I'm not

sure about her baby you know now's not

the best time for you to be here you

should probably leave

Mathi there were trace levels in the

crows blood methane comes from

fertilizer from swamps last time I

checked there weren't any swamps in

Idaho what's going on a consortium of

farmers trying to buy Ashworth's land

but it I think they want it for reasons

other than farming lab didn't come up

with anything else anything at all that

might explain the methane no but they

did find some undigested bits of potato

and the crows stomach now Paul I know

this probably doesn't mean anything but

the potato was transgenic they contained

DNA from some kind of bacteria methane

is a bacterial by-product genetically

engineered plants and animals are

usually patented so it shouldn't be that

hard to trace the potato we spliced

genes from a bacteria to the potato's

DNA the bacterial ethos the potato's

most destructive past the Colorado

potato beetle so the potato produces its

own pesticide technically this potato is

a pesticide at least according to the

FDA it's also how we're gonna eat the

world

I'm sure there's enough here to go

around there will be you're holding a

foot soldier in the revolution

revolución

we're splicing flounder genes into

Tomatoes to improve frost tolerance

we're adding the Firefly James to corn

to make the stalks phosphorescent so

that they can be harvested at night

not at all in order to grow that potato

a farmer doesn't have to use any of the

chemicals that have traditionally

threatened his health and glue to the

soil but by introducing this into the

ecosystem how do you prevent genetic

drift into other organisms make

undesirable mutation nature tends to

make that pretty difficult species

protect the integrity of their genes and

tends to but it is possible that sounds

like a leading question that doesn't

sound like an answer

much do you know about Moffitt Valley

Moffett Valley about two hundred miles

east of here from New York

most of the land there is controlled by

farmers who planted your potato

one farmer died from methane poison

which I think was caused by a runaway

bacterial colony in the soil

now you're talking science fiction dr.

Turner forty-five million acres of

American farmland have been planted with

biotech crops trust me we've had no

problems yeah dr. Turner would you come

with me please

okay trying to make sure congressman

Mitchell doesn't get reelected first to

refuse to sign the document that he sent

you here to sign and now you harassed

what his major constituencies understand

what led to J ash Woods death I think it

may have started here Parker Shan

operates our business within the state

and federal guidelines well maybe those

guidelines need to be redrawn this is

not the time or the place or the way to

introduce legislation

how much of the congressman's war chest

is filled with contributions from Parker

Shan

moffat Valley may be facing a potential

environmental disaster isn't a

congressman concerned about those

constituents you might be if there's

evidence that there was something to be

concerned about gentlemen

just let parking shape rather I was

asked to leave this whole thing is

beginning to make a terrible kind of

sense yeah

Sydney she's fine

but she miscarried Daniels with her now

can you come back to the hospital now I

can't I'm sorry why not

the potato crops grown on the consortium

Lander transgenic they contained a

bacterial toxin that I think was

responsible for creating pockets of

methane in the soil methane and

somewhere in this valley there's a swamp

probably more than one I just felt

another tremor busting methane can cause

low-grade seismic activity right about

this Jay Ashworth was killed by his own

land killed by the earth itself

you look like you're going somewhere

Daniel whatever it is you're thinking of

doing right now stop it I think Helen

would say the same thing

they killed our baby we need to be here

but Helen wakes up Paul's working on

this let him do his job okay

I didn't come here to hurt you okay I

came to talk to you came all the way out

here just to say hi

the fuller didn't want Daniel back in

the valley and neither did I

Helen ash was lost her baby consortium

is selling their land the Parkers Shane

just came from County records it's an

all-or-nothing deal for Shane to buy the

land they need to own it all

I'm supposed to believe this is new

information to you wait listen listen

look the consortium controls over 40,000

acres right now when this stuff first

started happened I began to wonder why

they were so set on buying js3 missus

chooses

this is worthless Parker Shan doesn't

buy it the consortium goes bankrupt that

wouldn't sit too good with Rex Hollywood

take the gun out real easy and drop it

on the ground I can let you get away

with this race righteous I've decided

what I'm gonna do is you yeah

what is your little hey boys now

drop that damn gun

you go

it's friendly sister their sadness

conveyance

ha gonna be a hard sell

people are gonna be curious about where

I am yeah

you let me worry about that

oh look so hurt aren't you it's just

business

figure you've got about as much chance

getting his signature as you do getting

mine

put the gun down so I can help you

it's hard to imagine this whole valley

uninhabitable like some toxic waste down

Love Canal

no I don't be able to come back I wonder

what the official story I'll be yeah

I guess we got a better than most huh

yes we got a place to start over so

you're gonna go back to Argan lands

still good there

it's fertile

I'm gonna bury my dad there

there was like being near the ocean

I keep thinking about him

how much you love to farm this land

whatever mistakes he never lost that

yeah well who do you think you got it

from in the first place

appreciate what we could have done more

come see us when you're an organ

well toto no place like oh I wish you

could give those red slippers here the

click to get us out of this mess so do i

Dave calls coming in since that first

rooster crow dis mornin all asking us

the same question when do we get to come

back the Moffett Valley State Police

promise to let us know as soon as that

information becomes a bit tired helpful

the new tellers routine is a quickest

way out of town now we're here Jerry's

been what's helping out with his fleet

of trucks just want to say we appreciate

you folks a man in somber Oh says it's

time to sign off so until we talk again

and I sure hope it's su route 18 true

we'll see y'all

they're calling it a natural disaster

the EPA found no evidence linking the

genetically engineered potato to the

methane innocent people have been hurt

know by what they're calling a naturally

occurring geological anomaly when this

isn't the Valdez it's not no Paul I

think Moffat belly can never ever ever

be cleaned up its genetic pollution it's

part of the ecosystem the consortium and

Parker Shan have to be held accountable

maybe they will be

Paul this is Britt Aaron sure he's an

attorney who specializes in

environmental law he's representing a

group of citizens from Moffett Valley in

a class-action suit against Parker Shan

and the surviving members of the

consortium major Reece tells me you may

have something to say about what

happened there

this is boss I had no I know if it's

just a your number

new home

I'll call you back

just a warning you don't know I haven't

really been able to talk to anybody it's

not just you

I'm thinking about you

I'm doing okay I'm staying healthy I'm

working for the army again and I know

that'll make you happy and I'm seeing a

woman which don't makes me happy so

listen to me I haven't talked to you for

a year give it my life story to an

answering machine

yeah no you don't have my phone number I

can't give it to you right now

cuz I need

I just want to call you back okay

so

I'm really glad we're going we are going

right

then it's not a long weekend in the

mountains ride it supposed to be a nice

bed-and-breakfast

I'm sure it'll be perfect already

you touch that phone I'll break your

hand

next on Syfy a strange world Gabrielle
