The Signal Page #3

---

the first wave of Big Science

outdated but allowed to continue

pretending that

you're important.

I feel sorry for you.

It's pathetic. Nic.

"The truth of the matter."

What is the truth

of the matter here?

The only thing

I know for certain is that

you don't know what

you're dealing with.

You will be pulled from

this shitty little shack

you call a research facility

so fast

that the only thing relevant

to be shown for any of this

is the way it's all exposed,

wrecked, and forgotten.

You have no idea!

You have no clue! Do you?

Have any clue how fast dumb,

lost little kids like me, Jonah or Nomad

could ruin a place like this?

Have it come to a grinding halt

like the stone wheel it is?

You're clueless law in

the Wild West, Damon.

You're a relic protecting ruins.

You're pathetic.

The truth of the matter is, I'm the

only one with any sense around here.

Your friend Jonah

was never here, Nic.

We never recovered him.

Bullshit!

I've been talking to him through

the vent this whole time.

Have you really?

Through your vent, Nic?

Three, four, five, six, seven...

Sh*t.

Sh*t!

God damn it!

Nic.

Hey.

How are you feeling?

Better.

I had a wonderful dream.

Oh, yeah?

You, um...

You...

You won your regionals.

Hay, wake up.

Wake up.

Haley.

Stop it, get off of me!

Get off of me!

What the hell are you doing?

Let go of me! Haley!

Haley, wake up!

Hey, let go of me! Stop it!

What the hell do you think you're doing?

Haley, wake up! Haley!

Wake up!

Holy... Holy...

No! What the hell?

Damon!

What did they do to my legs?

Nic, we are going to

need you to calm down.

Now you understand why we've

been so interested in you.

As you can see,

your circumstances are very peculiar.

And believe me,

we didn't want to shock you with this.

I'm sure by now you can appreciate

where we're coming from.

Now, for your safety and ours,

I'm going to need you to

hook yourself up to that IV.

Right over there.

Nic.

I need you

to calm down.

Nic.

Nic.

Don't do this.

Why...

Why didn't you tell me

what happened to my legs?

How could we?

We had just recovered you.

Now listen to me.

It is extremely dangerous

for you up there.

I can only safeguard you

from them down here.

Safeguard me from who?

You okay?

Can you feel your legs?

Come on, we gotta move.

We gotta move.

You okay?

What's happening?

Come on, let's go.

I'm sorry to interrupt,

but do you know how long it

is until the gas station?

Hmm?

Oh, it's just up a ways.

Okay. Thank you.

And where are we exactly?

When our car broke down,

we kind of got lost.

That's okay.

That happens to a lot of

people out in these parts.

Right.

I always tell people

they should take

comfort in the thought

that they are always

watching over us.

Hmm.

Did you hear that?

Hear what?

Listen, with your

mouth open, like this.

Excuse me?

Their horns are

watching over us.

I'm sorry.

Who's watching us?

God's little angels.

Who else?

Thanks again for the ride.

You have the rest

of the day nicely.

Just push from the inside out.

Bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Inside out, don't forget.

Okay, thanks.

I'm gonna go use the phone,

okay?

I'm gonna get us help.

Stay here.

Don't move.

Haley!

Haley, sit down.

Sit down.

I'm serious, okay?

I'm serious.

Don't move.

I'm gonna get us

out of here, okay?

Yeah, okay.

The two subjects, considered

possibly contagious,

have escaped from a

medical research facility.

Nicholas Eastman

and Haley Peterson

are believed to be traveling on

foot and should not be approached.

Please alert your

local authorities.

Thank you.

Now we'll return to your

regularly scheduled programming.

Haley!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Haley!

Stop the truck!

Christ.

What the hell are you doing?

Get back!

You get back now!

Stop the truck!

Stop it!

Get off my truck!

Haley! Stop the truck!

Haley!

Get off the goddamn truck!

Get away!

Haley!

Stop!

What is wrong with you?

Boy, what's going on

with your leg?

Come on.

You won't get far.

Nic.

Nic, what happened to your legs?

Haley, I already

explained to you.

Are you feeling okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm okay.

We're gonna be fine.

Just...

Just try to relax.

Oh, sh*t.

Is something wrong, Officer?

Is there some kind of trouble?

No trouble at all, ma'am.

No trouble at all.

Please.

Will you accompany me?

Certainly.

It doesn't make any sense.

Where's the rest of the road?

Mirabelle, have you had contact

with any strangers lately?

Oh, yes.

We talked about so many

wonderful things.

But where did you

take them, Mirabelle?

What was your proximity to them?

It is so easy to find.

Always such a nice bit of

color against the dark nights.

Dark nights, dark nights.

Dark nights, dark nights.

Dark nights, nights...

We could have a picnic.

A picnic.

A picnic.

Have a picnic.

In a...

In a...

In a...

On a...

We're coming to get you.

Is that the same canyon?

I don't know.

I thought we already passed it. Before.

Maybe we circled back?

Yeah, maybe. I don't know.

It looks abandoned.

What are you looking for?

A gun, like,

a cell phone or a map or something in here.

Do you wanna wear that?

Come on, let's check it out.

The network is

currently unavailable.

Haley, did you find anything?

Haley?

Hey.

Yeah, I found a map,

but there's not much information on it.

"You are here."

But we can't be.

We drove down, right?

Isn't that the same gorge

we just came from?

Then that town, Good Springs,

should be down here, right?

I guess.

I don't get it.

What do you think that sound is?

I don't hear anything, Hay.

What sound?

There.

I think we should

stay here tonight.

Is this my fault?

What? No.

If anything, it's my fault.

I was the one who

wanted to follow Nomad.

I don't remember.

Do they hurt?

It's okay.

So wide.

I hope we can get across it.

Haley. Hey, hey.

We should go inside.

Jonah!

Jonah! Jonah!

No, Jonah! Jonah! It's me!

Jonah, Jonah, Jonah!

Hey, it's Nic! Hey! It's Nic!

Jonah, hey.

Hey, buddy, it's me. It's me.

Sh*t.

Hello, James.

Long time no see.

"Hello, James."

I'm trying to locate three individuals.

Two males, one female.

All extremely contagious.

Have you had any

contact with them, James?

What are you doing in my house?

I'm glad to see you're comfortable here,

but is this your house?

Belongs to my mommy.

My brother sleeps right there.

Yes?

And I sleep right there,

and I have a little kitty.

Your brother,

your mother and your kitty.

Yeah.

Can you remember

their names, James?

Extraordinary,

your will to survive

fueled by your anger, your fear,

loneliness, frustration.

I admire you.

I don't understand.

It's all right, James.

I'm sorry

I left you guys there.

You know, I swear

someone was helping me,

though I just can't

bring it together.

Jonah, that place was...

That place! This place!
