Helix

Previously on Helix...

You're being evacuated. - Why?

Pathogen is spreading.

Make me immortal and you will get your child back.

You can try it on me first.

What's happening?

I didn't do anything! - You just said goodbye to your baby.

We graft all our trees from the original rootstock.

We call her Mother.

She's gone.

Found this in his stomach.

That looks like tree sap.

Whatever it is, he's been practically living off it.

At the very least, we need to go and investigate,

see if we can figure out the nature of it.

If you leave this room, you are finished with my team.

It was never your team, Peter.

You were just keeping Alan's chair warm.

I'm sorry, Dr. Kyle. - For what?

What you got there? - It's from the Bleeding Tree.

The Bleeding Tree? - We eat it so we don't get more sick.

You're clean. - Not anymore. I ate all of it.

They're all gonna kill themselves.

I really wish you would come to me first.

Anne is prone to delusions.

We can't believe a word she says. - Really?

Because she told us that the only way to replicate your apples

is by grafting a special rootstock you call Mother.

Be honest with me.

Why is Mother so important to you?

How many dead? Fifty?

A hundred? It's nothing.

Ilaria believes overpopulation is unsustainable.

In three days, they plan to act.

I want to present Michael's infertility grafting

as an alternative to global genocide.

I can't do that without Mother.

That's quite a story. - It's the truth.

How much do you want for Mother?

I'm not interested in money.

I only want one thing:

to see the world through silver eyes.

Like Michael and Dr. Jordan...

and you.

I noticed your contacts the moment you arrived.

I can make you immortal.

If you can deliver the root.

Well...

I must first ease concerns among the fellowship.

But... we shall reconvene later.

In my office?

If you're lying, I'll make sure

the only world you see is pitch black.

We searched every inch. No red sap.

We'll do one last sweep of the perimeter, then move out.

And the boy, Soren?

Considering what he's been through, he's doing okay.

Tell your men to keep him close.

He's the only one to have fully recovered from the fungus.

His immunity might be the key

to turning the red sap treatment into an actual cure.

How's Dr. Sommer holding up?

I'd say he has 48 hours.

If that.

Soon as I get a SAT signal, we'll call for evac.

And the supplies I ordered?

Everything you need to take down the disease is in my ship.

He'll have a better chance at a real facility.

He won't have any chance if we don't find that tree.

Dr. Kyle!

Dr. Kyle! - No! No!

Soren, Soren... - Don't do that.

Come here.

Look, Dr. Kyle is not feeling very well right now.

Is he all right?

We're just being extra careful, all right?

I want you to stay away from him

until we can get him some of that... that red sap.

But why not just bring him to the Bleeding Tree?

I'm so sorry,

Landry. I have failed you,

just like the others.

I should have done more to protect you.

And what could you have possibly done?

I have to get back to my duties.

And...

what are those, exactly?

Mother is missing, Amy.

I'm going to make sure she doesn't fall into the wrong hands.

What the hell have we walked into?

An outbreak with no cure, a cult with no leader,

not to mention an episode of Family Feud: Sister Wives Edition.

I offer Amy carte blanche;

what does she want? Immortality.

She's not stupid. - Worse, she's smart and certifiable.

You're not actually going to make her immortal?

No, it's impossible.

I've tried replicating the science.

Every time, my simulation's failed.

Last thing the world needs is a Forever Amy.

We get what we came for, regardless.

Follow her, see if there's anything you can leverage,

any kind of weakness.

I'm gonna do some digging of my own. - Julia.

Be careful. - You too.

I've looked everywhere! Mother's not here!

You're angry. I can understand that. - Can you, Anne?

Because I've been searching all night,

and all I've got to show for it is bags under my eyes.

What if Mother is lost?

Or destroyed? - Then I'd say our deal is void.

Julia. - Could you please give us a minute, Anne?

You're done, Peter. No reward, nothing.

We're not finished searching yet.

Do you even have a plan?

Or are you going to comb the entire abbey one room at a time?

I will find Mother. You have my word.

The word of a traitor?

I'm a traitor?!

You're a member of the Ilaria board! Once a hypocrite...

You sold me out to the highest bidder.

Betrayed me to that monster who slit my mother's throat.

Now I'm on the inside, trying to change their tactics.

How could I have been so wrong?

I threw away my marriage for you.

Deny all you want.

I loved you, Julia.

And I thought you were a good man

until I realized there's nothing inside.

You're hollow, Peter.

Words have meaning, Dr. Walker.

They carry weight.

Amy told me you were delusional,

not to trust anything you say.

Amy will say anything to get what she wants.

Let me guess. She told you she has Mother.

My daughter is a liar.

Only three people were charged with Mother's care:

Michael, myself...

Who's the third?

My son. Landry.

Where's Mother, Landry?

I know you've hidden her.

You need to tell me where she is.

Show me a sign. Anything.

I can feel you staring at me.

Like when we were kids, remember?

Trying to get a peek up my dress?

This is no time for games.

I need your help. Tell me.

Where's Mother, Landry?

Just blink once if you understand.

Wake up!!

Wake up! You need to wake up!

You useless piece of shit!

Disgusting.

I hope you've had time to reflect on your careless actions.

I did everything that you asked me to. You promised to--

You failed! Look at him! He can't even talk!

And I need to talk to him.

I can't treat him unless I can diagnose what's wrong,

and I can't do that unless I have an EEG or a CTCN--

You're boring me. Just fix him.

It doesn't work like that!

Then I see no reason for keeping you or your child alive.

You need us. We're your only link to immortality.

Not anymore. I happened to find a new immortal

much more interesting. - What new immortal?

Perhaps you know her.

Julia Walker.

Just fix him!

Amy... Amy...

Landry was always willing to go beyond what was required.

Let me go!

He was responsible for Michael's protection-

his person as well as his research.

Leave me alone!

He knew Mother was essential.

I'm sure he has her in a safe place.

Landry!

What are you doing? Landry!

Hello, Sarah.

*I rode my bicycle past your window last night*

*I roller-skated to your door at daylight*

Landry!!

*It almost seems that you're avoiding me*

*I'm okay alone*

*But you've got something I need*

*Well, I've got a brand new pair of roller skates*

*You got a brand new key*

*I think that we should get together and try them out ya see*

*I've been lookin' around a while, you got somethin' for me*

*Oh, I've got a brand new pair of roller skates*

Where... is... Mother!

*You got a brand new key*

*I ride my bike, I roller skate, don't drive no car*

*Don't go too fast*

*But I go pretty far*

*For somebody who don't drive*

*I've been all around the world*
