Hey.
You looking for me? You must be, because I'm the only one that lives here.
Easy, Mr Black.
This is who we are.
Put your hands behind your head.
You too.
Frank.
Just let me call Peter Watts.
(Siren)
(phone ringing)
(559715)
What is it you didn't want anyone else to see, Peter?
(rumbling and roaring)
(knock at door)
From what we understand, they introduced themselves as members of the Group.
Considering the division between secularists
and theologians, maybe they were.
Everyone knows Frank was a civilian. He was
always reluctant to join the Group, period,
let alone tip his hand as to which Millennium he believed.
We have lost an exceptional candidate.
I lost him.
I'd like to go to him.
Not to try to get him back, just to make certain he's OK.
I've been where you're at, Peter. I spent ten years at the level of patron.
You empathise with your candidate's doubts, you condole their fear,
you elate at their revelation.
You can't experience that with another and not feel close to them.
But until the candidate becomes initiated and comprehends the secrets that we accept,
the affinity is a one-way street.
You are the last person he wants to see.
Yeah.
Peter...
I expect an explanation
as to why you covered up the third infrared image in the Johnston investigation.
Some of my guys found the car. It was abandoned on Clyde Hill.
No prints, phoney plates, VIN removed. It's gonna be a bitch to trace.
Yeah.
I see you're thinking about your own investigation.
Between you and the Group, I know you got a
good idea, if not proof, of who the guys were.
- I don't work with the Group any more. - What?
- No. Hi. - Hi.
All right. We're gonna wrap up here. I might
need you to come for official questioning.
- Yeah, good. - In the meantime, I, uh...
I gotta take your gun.
My gun?
Any chance you're gonna stay at Catherine's tonight?
- I'll keep a patrol car outside. - Thanks, Geib.
- Goodnight, Catherine. - Night.
Hey. Are you all right?
Mm.
- Where's Jordan? - She's back at the house with Ann.
You should stay there.
It would be better if you two stayed here.
Better, or do you mean safer?
What is going on?
Not revealing the truth is the equivalent of a lie.
Why do you continue to lie to me?
We're on the brink of a decision that appears irreversible.
Johnston, a member of great stature, accountable only to you and the old man,
was destructively working Owls and Roosters against each other.
I was aware the revelation of his murder, his
possession of the Cross of the Crucifixion,
would determine the outcome of this union.
The infrared image was my only lead.
I wanted to consult the old man before I made it admissible to the investigation.
You tried to keep our family safe and together by withholding the truth.
And now we're apart.
If this is happening again, haven't you learned your lesson?
It's very difficult to know the truth, even to... recognise the truth.
I don't believe it's a lie to reserve information
that could create catastrophic consequences
until I understand it for myself.
(Catherine) The problem is, you're not the only one it affects.
You should have the respect to allow me to participate
in decisions that are affecting me and my daughter.
I don't think that's self-centred. I don't think it's bitchy.
- I think it's just right. - Suspicions are not truths.
When I am sure, I'll tell you.
Whether the events are theological or secular,
to survive the events of the millennium, Peter, our group's purpose must be secret.
Now, I understand your motives, but we cannot lie to one another.
Geibs, it's Frank. Yeah, I wonder if you could do me a favour.
Would you position that patrol car outside Catherine's apartment?
Don't let her know it's there.
What if the results of the carbon dating prove that Johnston, the Owls,
stole the Cross of the Crucifixion?
How then do we remain honest with each other?
My concern is if the results show the wood to be a fake.
If it is, where's the real one? And what does that mean for Millennium?
(speaks German)
I have the results of the carbon dating on the wood found in Mr Johnston's trunk,
allegedly at the time of his murder.
Before disclosing them it seems imperative to discuss the implications of the results
and the crisis at hand.
What I don't understand is, this is not a
split caused by opposing inherent viewpoints.
No one is allowed in this room unless they believe the monumental events
that are before us and are about to come.
- In the next century. - The next 95 weeks.
The Catholics and the Protestants in Northern
Ireland both believe in Christ as Lord.
Yet for decades they've taken each other's lives.
They've lost any sense of national direction or progress,
because the split has lost its basis in religious or political ideology.
It's become about who controls who. That's
happening here. And this is not who we are.
I'm not ashamed to say it is about control. How many times can you cry wolf?
If the Roosters are given the lead to prepare the public,
and direct them towards nonsensical biblical prophesies,
the world will disbelieve, overlook,
and be unprepared for the catastrophic astronomical event
we know, beyond a doubt, will occur six decades from now.
And no one will survive.
Not my family, not a single member of the human race.
And that is worth dying for.
And that is worth killing over.
I'm checking on the delivery of invoice number 1567-AA.
If the carbon dating confirms that it was the Crucifixion Cross,
then the Owls have destroyed a sacred mystical icon.
If it's fake, the Roosters planted it to give
an appearance that we are capable of anything.
Apparently, you are.
Johnston was gathering intelligence on us.
Johnston tried to recruit Lara Means to your cause.
You dismissed her based on your bias.
I won't disclose the results until these differences are resolved.
That's just hiding the truth, from both sides.
From what I'm hearing, there is no truth to be had.
How can this be?
Apparently, the answer to that question is that it is.
(knock at door)
Mrs Black? I'm Jim Ford. We had an appointment.
Yes, Jim. Have a seat.
You aren't here, by any chance, to discuss Ms Knight's artwork?
(Jim on speaker) Ms Knight's artwork?
No.
My supervisor here's a freakin' Nazi.
- That's what! Wanna talk about. - (knock at door)
Come in.
- Am I disturbing you? - Not at all.
I wanted to surprise Catherine, go out for coffee.
But she's not done with her work, so I thought I'd come and say hi.
- Are things better between you two? - Oh, yeah. Catherine, she's great.
You know how it is.
I just left this job I had. It was in the area of law enforcement.
I was a consultant on homicide investigations.
To see the things that people were capable of.
Not any people. Degenerates, you know.
(crowd) Sieg Heil!
I'm from Seattle. I don't remember this many
foreigners or immigrants, what have you.
They don't have any understanding, let alone respect, for order.
I feel like the country is going down the tubes.
It's like the degeneration of the species.
You know what I mean?
Catherine said you'd be easy to open up to.
She must be done by now.
Would you be interested in a position with us?
- I don't know about aeroplane parts. - We're a large company.
We have many interests.
- What are you doing? Get out. - We can't talk in there.
It's bad enough that I might be seen here. I've been to the police, the FBI.
I don't know what your husband does, but you've been hired to get to him.
They're not Aerotech, they're ODESSA.
- Let him go! Let him go! - (Jim) Please, let me go.
Hit the road. Beat it.
- Did he hurt you? - What is ODESSA?
- What'd he say? - What's ODESSA?
- I don't know. - Liar.
- A liar? - Let's just go.
You go.
(mud)
Hey, Franklin, sorry to wake you. You're gonna need that rest.
It's a thing with him. Where he comes from,
there's no locks on the door, something...
Well, we've all been there.
Yeah.
I'm not with the Group any more.
As far as I can see, we're all that's left of the Group.
(in German)
(in German on phone)
There's not a single member of the Group that didn't pass by my home,
that I didn't teach what we were all about.
Not you, Frank, or you, Lara.
Watts. Every patron. Every elder.
Not that I'm so special, mind you.
I've had my teachers. I was guided toward enlightenment.
No matter how many decades have passed,
no matter how much closer we are to the millennium,
I still see, feel that moment,
the magic moment of enlightenment each member attained.
And the sadness, too, that anyone even had to live with such a responsibility.
Now it's in ruins. The millennium became what we fight against.
Damn Owls, Roosters, power and control.
The world will end in 656 days if we fail to act now.
Somehow I've failed and I don't know what I can do to pull it back together.
- Why come to us? - You're aware that Johnston was murdered?
He tried to recruit me to the Owls.
Johnston, he was a futurist, of the book of Revelation.
No one really knows which side he was on and the disunion is over who killed him.
Did he say anything to you that would provide a lead?
Throughout history, the Millennium Group has had access
to scientific breakthroughs that were banned or withheld by those in power,
Copernicus, Galileo, the German physicists.
This enabled the Group to leap generations ahead of mainstream research.
So, Johnston's claim...
the Owls' claim is that six billion years ago, before the formation of the Earth,
two neutron stars collided six billion light years away.
This collision released cosmic rays, particles of such extreme energy
that the collision of these particles could transform the vacuum of space,
cause a tear in the fabric of our universe.
The Owls claim to have proof that this tear -
this expanding cosmic bubble - will reach our solar system within the next 60 years.
And a new universe,
its properties calculated anywhere between apocalyptic
and inconsequential, will be created.
You believed him. You joined Johnston. That's why Peter Watts dismissed you.
Given the scope of the Group and the scientific credibility, I can believe it.
But my visions, Frank, are becoming more frequent, more intense, altered.
Not just an angel.
These visions feel prophetic and frightening.
I can't turn my back on what I trust.
Something is closer than 60 years away.
I told Johnston that I wouldn't join the Owls,
but Peter, he must have received hearsay
that Johnston spoke to me, then dismissed me.
How can ex-candidates help restore the Group?
At the moment, they're so busy infighting, they're blinded to one simple fact.
It's a third party. They've recently been after you, Frank.
They've always been after me.
Excuse me, Clear? Have you seen Jim Ford? We were supposed to have a appointment.
He has an appointment with me, too. He didn't show up for work.
We can't come to the phone. If this is a question concerning Jim Ford,
the family asks, in lieu of flowers, please
send a donation to the James Ford Memorial Fund.
(alarm)
Catherine!
Get in.
I'll tell you everything I know.
(mush? PHYS)
Know this? Wagner's Parsifal?
The young man is brought to the site of the Holy Grail,
but he don't quite get it,
so he wanders around, acquiring wisdom and experience,
until he becomes king of the knights.
I hear this every night before I go to bed. Well, parts of it.
Damn thing's five hours long or something. Ain't it beautiful?
But even so, for me, it's tarnished.
When Adolf Hitler made a personal pilgrimage to Wagner's grave, emotional,
he believed he could make a religion out of Parsifal. And unfortunately, he did.
Hitler's secretary, Martin Bormann, he began a project known as ODESSA.
It was the underground movement of high-ranking SS officers
to areas south of the equator.
The Nazi SS was a secret society.
Heinrich Himmler modelled it after a medieval order of Teutonic knights.
They displayed ritualistic insignia, the sig rune.
Two lightning bolts were worn on the left sleeve,
lightning bolts of the storm god, Thor.
In the last days of the war, the Nazis established corporations...
with countries that would cooperate.
Paraguay, Argentina. Not only did they transfer money from Germany,
Swiss bank accounts already established contained billions in plundered gold.
- But everybody knows that. - On November 23,1923,
the Nazis attempted to seize power.
Sixteen members died.
Their blood stained a swastika flag,
known from that point as die Blutfahne, Blood Banner.
It is said that whoever maintains control of this banner would defeat communism.
Rudolf Axmann, the oldest surviving member of Hitler's circle,
leader of ODESSA, has possession of this flag in Paraguay.
Hm.
No, Lara, it wasn't Gorbachev or Reagan who brought down the Wall.
It was the involvement of ODESSA and Axmann that defeated their greatest enemy.
And now Millennium is their greatest enemy. Was...
Aerotech Guidance Systems is an ODESSA company. Through the Group's database,
Lara and I were able to track it way back
to the Reichsbank and the SS Melmer account.
The rune on Knight's cufflink,
the watercolour is an original one of Hitler's, awarded to high-ranking members.
They used you to get to me.
My reluctance to join the Millennium Group was monitored,
seen as a potential willingness to work with their side, ODESSA.
- What are you going to do? - I don't know. That's the truth.
- Well, at least now I can believe you. - Huh.
And you can believe that I love you.
(grunts)
I'm sure that Frank intended for you to sleep in one of the beds upstairs.
Nope. This feels most like home. See you in the morning.
Don't let the bedbugs bite.
Good night.
Which side do you believe?
My family were wealthy Poles.
I was smuggled out of Europe and sent here.
My mother and father came to me
at the moment Rudolf Axmann had them gassed at Auschwitz.
I've seen the end of the world.
(grunts)
May I come in?
Standing here considering this man...
and all the... horror,
and wonder and sense of duty that he brought into my life,
I feel primarily... ashamed at how I've treated the two of you.
My colleagues.
My friends.
I've allowed this crisis, this division within
the Group, to create a disunion within myself,
that became directed at the only two people I can trust, now that the old man's gone.
You said "primarily". What else are you feeling?
The serological analysis and skin samples of the suspect match a subject
that's been on our most-wanted list for ten years, Helmut Gunsche.
- He's a primary assassin for... - ODESSA.
For over half a century, they've sponsored terrorist acts,
they've successfully conspired to guide social and political events
in the direction of their own dark mysticism,
they've tried to destroy the Group.
So now the Group must destroy them.
(man) The position in which life begins is that in which it ends.
And that in which it will return.
There is an end of wrong in death and hell.
And long wear of time and suffering
effaces the stain ingrown upon the soul.
And a cleansed spirit, long ages floating on the wandering winds...
and the rolling deeps of space...
renews itself...
and doth regain its dwelling.
Time calls, and change commands both men and gods,
and speeds us on, we know not whither.
The old Earth smiles,
spring after spring, and the seeds burst again.
And the dead lives renew themselves and rise aloft and soar,
clothing themselves with change...
until the last change...
be done.
Soylent Green is people.
(been)
