What Remains -

Huh, this way a little more, come on, come on.

Oh, hey, h-hey, hey, hey, come on.

Hey, come on.

Come on.

Oh, come on, no fair.

Come on, come on.

Wow.

Hey.

Oh, look at all the flowers, pretty flowers.

What kind of work were they doing out there?

It's just standard field research, it's nothing dangerous.

Yeah, then why hasn't anyone heard from them

in the last 72 hours?

Well, that's what we're going there to find out.

Stop worrying. Commander Taylor says

we'll probably be back before dinner.

Well, you'd better be

'cause that Reynolds kid is coming a-courting tonight.

Oh, don't make fun.

I think it's really sweet, the way he's going

about things the old-fashioned way.

Well, I think it's weird.

I'm telling you, it's a tech situation,

not a science situation.

The signal has been spotty

out in that area for weeks.

I'm sure it's just a downed comm relay,

but if I need you, I will let you know.

They're my people out there.

I should be going with you.

I'll take my own rover.

Don't worry, Malcolm, I'll be your eyes out there.

You'll get a full report.

Thank you, Elisabeth.

Lieutenant Washington is in command

while I'm off-colony.

You need anything, you talk to her.

All right, let's go.

All right, be safe.

Oh, no, my wedding ring.

I took it off before surgery this morning.

Um, could you stop by the hospital and pick it up for me?

It should be in my scrub locker, I think.

Uh, sure.

Unless, of course, I left it inside a patient.

- Doc...? - See you.

So they give you your own rover, huh?

Chief Science Officer... one of the perks of the job.

Well, I'm the only cop in town, they didn't give me one.

That must be awkward

with your siren.

Whoa, whoa, Doc.

That gate should not be open.

Commander!

Looks like they've had ovosaurs out here

chewing on the power cables.

Let's make sure none of 'em wandered in.

Stay alert.

Don't you wander either, Doc... stick close.

What kind of work did you say they were doing at this outpost?

Wetlands research.

Commander Taylor!

Come on!

Doc, take a look at this.

Brady, let's get this door open.

The snow was up to my knees,

but I must have run for an hour straight.

I guess that's how I wound up here.

Are you with the Red Cross?

Something like that, yes.

This is gonna help you relax.

Here we go.

Snow up to her knees?

I guess I must've missed the blizzard.

Not if you were in Detroit in 2137.

It was the coldest October ever recorded,

while the city burned.

- The Detroit Food Riots. - Yeah.

From what I can tell,

that's where she thinks she is.

She has no idea she's in Terra Nova.

- Doc, what's going on here? - I don't know.

Her vitals are normal.

There doesn't appear to be anything physically wrong.

It's some sort of dissociative disorder.

What about the other two?

My best guess... same thing, only more advanced.

Look, Doc, three people don't just lose their minds

at the same time.

There's got to be a reason.

Hmm...

It's Wednesday, I think.

I can't be sure.

It's happening to me just like

with the others.

First, short-term memory becomes jumbled, confused.

Then one finds oneself somewhere in one's past.

I don't recognize him.

He's not in the infirmary.

This outpost has a staff of four.

That's Dr. Jonathan Guagenti.

He's head researcher here.

Brady.

I ought to remember

the three people in the infirmary.

This fella is still missing.

Search the perimeter... 200-yard radius.

Be back by sundown.

Yes, sir.

I know I have to tell someone

about the pathogens before they spread.

I just can't remember who.

Okay, a pathogen... so that's what's behind this.

So what are the chances we've been exposed?

Fairly likely, I'm afraid.

Well, it looks like he's made some progress towards a diagnosis,

but then his handwriting just deteriorates

and then it becomes a nursery rhyme.

You think you can finish what he started?

I can try.

Try hard, Doc.

Till we know what this is,

we're not going home.

Mr. Shannon.

Yeah.

Dr. Shannon's wedding ring.

Oh, great, thanks.

You didn't have to cut anyone open, did you?

Never mind, thank you.

What are you two doing here?

Shouldn't you be at school?

Zoe's sick, and this time she's not pretending.

It's just a cold,

but they asked me to take her out of class.

I need Mommy.

Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie, Mommy's not here.

Where is she?

Well, she had to go save some other people.

Tell you what, why don't we go see

if there's anything in this hospital for a cold,

and then I take you home?

Just be careful.

Don't catch her cold.

I never catch colds.

Only crooks.

Ah, here's another one.

To the stars.

God, they're beautiful.

- Hey, any word from Outpost Three? - I heard they went dark.

My mom's out there now... nothing yet.

You're good.

Thanks.

No, don't stop.

Any luck finding Guagenti?

Found his boots.

He's out there barefoot?

No, his feet were still in 'em.

Oh.

You got enough to go on to figure out

what we're dealing with here?

Yeah, I think so.

All right.

This outpost is under general quarantine...

nobody in or out.

I'm not going to risk exposing

anyone or the colony to this.

So do... do you know what it is?

Some kind of memory loss.

Could be anything...

contaminated rations or an insect bite.

I'm running blood samples now.

I should know more soon.

You're not just making all this up to get out of tonight, are you?

Of course not.

What time's Maddy's gentleman caller coming, anyway?

I don't know, but she's changed outfits,

like...

...three times already.

I used to do that for you, you know.

Be nice to him.

I'll try.

I love you.

Love you, too.

Kiss the kids for me.

All right.

What was that?

Oh, I picked up a cold.

Fluids and straight to bed.

I don't want to catch your cold when I get back.

It's not my cold; I borrowed it from Zoe.

Okay, feel better, I'll call you in the morning. Bye.

Bye.

Zoe?

Who's Zoe?

Some more Key lime pie?

Not that there's actually any lime in it

because limes won't evolve until millions of years later.
