Resurrection

Previously on "Resurrection"...

All the returned that had loved ones here in town,

they let them stay.

- The rest of them they took. - Where?

Nobody knows.

That man. He wasn't dad.

I know, Ray.

Are you gonna invite me in?

All of our troubles started with that girl.

We're making my bad luck chili.

Oh, wait. That's before your time.

Are you sure about this, dad?

We can be friends. And I think we both need one.

They were better off without you.

You just let go.

Rachael, can you hear me?

Oh, m-my baby.

People are getting sick.

There's nothing more I can do for you.

You knew about this already.

Over here! We've got a survivor!

Agent Bellamy.

- What can I do for you? - I'm sick.

I need help.

You have the virus.

I don't know.

I thought you could, uh...

Agent Bellamy?

I thought...

Agent Bellamy.

Hey. You didn't sleep, did you?

You talk to Marty?

He's gone.

What?

He took all his stuff,

left a note saying he was looking for answers. Haven't heard from him since.

I left him a message about my mom.

And he didn't call you?

Well, that doesn't sound like him. Are you sure he's okay?

No.

But I'm tired of asking.

I wish I understood.

Why do they come back just so we can lose them all over again?

- Maggie... - What exactly did you see last night?

I told you.

Margaret and your mom were talking, and then she was just...

Gone.

Did Margaret seem upset?

No.

But your mom was.

But... Margaret definitely saw her disappear.

Yes.

I mean...

I think.

It... it was dark, but...

Yeah.

You okay?

Maggie.

Aunt Lucille.

Is my grandmother here?

- Can I help you with something? - Maggie.

Are you sure?

- Oh, Maggie. I'm so sorry for your loss. - Thank you.

Why is this happening?

How can they just disappear like that?

Be careful with that, Jacob. We want to be able to fly it again.

Honey, go wash your hands. There's oatmeal in the kitchen.

Ma...

What is it?

It's my mom.

Last night, you were in the park

- with her when... - Last night?

No, I was home all evening.

What's happened?

Weren't you with her when she...

Disappeared?

Disappeared?

What do you mean?

Elaine said she saw you. I...

The last time I saw Barbara was at Frederick's house yesterday morning.

She seemed perfectly fine.

Maybe she's just left town.

No.

No, as far as we know, she's not coming back.

Maggie...

Maybe Elaine was mistaken.

It was dark.

Yeah.

Hmm?

Yeah.

Um...

I...

I thought you were the last to see her.

I thought...

I was hoping you could tell me how she was.

Oh, I wish I could.

I'm sorry, Maggie.

Well, thank you.

I should get going.

What is this? Where am I?

You're in a government facility, and you're receiving medical treatment.

This is just a sedative.

You were extremely distressed when you came in.

I don't want a sedative. I'm okay.

I have it, don't I...

The virus the returned have been getting.

Yes. You do.

What do you know about it?

It appears to be a mutated form of the Spanish flu,

possibly with a precursor virus that was harbored in birds.

It's contagious, but only amongst the returned

and only as long as symptoms present.

Well, that's good, right?

You know what it is, so you can make a vaccine.

Unfortunately, the virus is mutating too quickly for that.

So, what? There's nothing you can do?

We have a treatment.

It's experimental, and it's not a cure.

But it suppresses symptoms temporarily.

Is that safe?

We don't know.

Would you prefer the injection in your arm or your hip?

Whoa, whoa. Wait.

I want to talk to the woman, the one I report to.

I'm not taking anything until I see her.

I think that would be unwise.

Why?

Because your fever will escalate and you'll become delirious.

You'll bleed from your ears and your nose,

and eventually your skin will take on a bluish tint

due to a lack of oxygen in your blood.

And then you'll disappear.

Get her. Now.

This is so cool.

Remember there was a table over there?

And remember how it used to smell in here?

Yeah. Smelled like paint.

And wood...

Wood if it was grass.

Sawdust.

Hey, dad. Look.

That's where your office was.

That's right.

You always kept jelly beans in your desk drawer, remember?

I remember.

It's gonna be your office one day.

Maybe.

Why? You don't want to work here now?

Do you really think I'll be here that long?

You know, we could have stayed home today,

but I thought it was important that we come. You know why?

Nobody can predict the future.

But that doesn't mean that we should live as if we won't have one.

We have today, we have right now,

and we hope for tomorrow.

Let's see who that is.

Hey.

- Can I help you? - Yeah. I'm Brian Addison.

Henry Langston. This is my boy, Jacob.

Jacob.

Well, you're not from around here.

No. No, but I've got a cousin who lives here.

And I know a great piece of property when I see one.

Well it's not for sale.

No? Really?

That's too bad.

Very versatile, close to the river,

not too far out of town.

Look, I... I know what it looks like. It's all rundown.

But I'm planning on getting it going again back to what it once was.

Really?

Well, that is a very ambitious goal.

Well, I'm an ambitious man.

Well, tell you what... if you're serious about this

and you need an investor, just give me a call.

Hmm? Sure. Thanks.

- It was nice meeting you both. - Nice meeting you.

Jacob.

Exactly what part of me saving your life do you object to, Agent Bellamy?

And let's not forget you're the one who called me.

I just want some answers.

Don't you think I'm at least entitled to that?

We think a returned brought back this virus from the early 1900s.

When the virus went through their metabolism, it mutated.

Now only other returned seem to be able to catch it.

As you know, it spread in Arcadia, but it was also brought here.

How many returned have died? Disappeared?

So far, we've lost 66.

The actual virus has a 23% mortality rate.

But if you reach the final stages of this illness,

- you will... - You disappear.

I know.

You said we should just let them get infected,

that this might be the natural course of a returned life cycle.

That's right.

Then why treat them?

Just because this may be normal

doesn't mean we shouldn't collect all the data we can,

including data on how they respond to treatments.

Did you invent the treatment?
