Persons Unknown

Previously on Persons Unknown:

Janet, Janet!

Okay, what the hell was that out there?

Active denial system.

Transmits high-intensity microwaves.

How do you guys come up with "child abandonment"?

There's something bigger going on here.

Mommy? Where are you?

- Who is this? - He's one of them.

I'm just the same as you.

I shoot this guy and I go free?

I leave this place, I get my daughter back.

Mom!

We are not a bunch of rats in a maze!

We're human beings!

All right, we're almost there.

How's our direction?

Still due north.

Just keep digging.

Every bucket that we move is a bucket closer.

Yeah, closer to getting back home.

You've been saying that for a week.

I still don't get it.

There's a field of microwaves?

The pain gun.

There you go.

Ahh, let me see.

Yeah.

We're almost at 20 feet.

19 feet, 2 inches.

Keep going!

- What is that? - What the hell is that?

A steel barrier.

What?

It's a wall.

Oh.

What are we gonna do?!

What the hell is that?!

What is that?

Oh, my god!

Everybody out!

Come on!

Come on!

Hurry up! Come on!

Janet!

Come on, come on, come on, come on!

Stay with me! Stay with me!

Joe, Joe, she's not breathing.

Janet!

1x03 The Way Through

There has got to be a way out of this place.

Maybe there isn't.

We're screwed.

Don't say that.

Hey, we spent a week digging that freakin' tunnel.

To be fumigated like cockroaches.

They stopped us aboveground, belowground.

Unless you can freakin' fly -

What's wrong? You all just gonna give up?!

We're screwed.

We are screwed. We're screwed.

Just shut up!

Hey, hey, hey!

Hey, stop it! Enough.

Enough.

We're gonna get out of this, okay, together.

I promise.

I will get back to my daughter.

I will.

I'm sorry. I was wrong to yell at you.

Maybe we've all been wrong.

What do you mean?

We've been trying so hard to escape.

Maybe we need to work harder not escaping.

Not escaping.

Help help find us.

Help help, like a...

Like a signal fire.

A signal fire.

Yeah.

A signal fire! The bigger, the better!

Okay, we need to gather -

We need to gather everything in this town

that will burn, okay?

- Okay. - All right.

Let's go!

So, I'm waiting at the metro restaurant.

Oh, geez.

Yeah, there's a table for two, reservations under your name.

I don't know what to say.

Well, say that you were interviewing that serial-killer suspect

Or that star of the cannibal reality show.

Actually, I'm - I'm back on the missing-mommy story.

You said you were off that story.

It's taken a major turn.

Janet's mother abused her as a child.

Now grandma has got Janet's child.

Abuse does have a nasty front-page ring to it.

- Who's your source? - Well, it's...

He's...

It's complicated.

But it is a front-page story.

Not without a body.

Do me a favor.

Find me the sleaze on this story tomorrow.

I can do that.

Or you're off the story tomorrow.

I can do that.

Ooh, hoo, looking good.

Did you find those clothes in your room?

Yeah.

Me too.

Oh, you know what these last few days have taught me?

Um, that working out might not be such a bad idea.

We need to live every moment like it's our last.

Well, that makes sense, with your age.

that's good.

Oh.

Security. Perv alert, aisle five.

Aw, come on, now. Don't be afraid of a real man.

Been there.

Sadly, for you, those days are over.

They don't have to be.

Hey!

Oh!

Ow!

I have intimacy issues that can sometimes result

in inappropriate violent outbursts.

My therapist doesn't think I'm making progress.

She hit you with a shopping cart?

Tori's one crazy bitch.

Ah, there ought to be a lot to burn in here, huh?

Stamps and stamp books and catalogs.

Maybe you should be looking for some self-defense items.

You think they're going to attack us?

Maybe.

Or maybe one of us.

One of us?

Look at my eye, bud.

These people can't be trusted.

Plus it's always the rich

who get shanked by the inmates.

Maybe I can find some stuff in here.

Yeah.

Hi, baby.

What the hell?

Aah! What's wrong?

Uh, nothing.

Exactly.

There's nothing in there but kids' toys and trading stamps.

Come on.

Come on, let's light this thing.

It's not lighting.

Come on.

It's not lighting.

Why isn't this...

Anything?

What's up?

God, what's going on?

- What is wrong with this stuff? - This sucks.

It's like somebody doused everything with flame retardant.

Oh, my god. Hey, hey, look, you guys!

Helicopter?

- Hey! - Hey!

- Hey! - Hey!

Over here!

- Hey! Hey! - Hey! Hey!

- Hey! Hey! - Hey! Hey!

- Hey! Hey! - Hey! Hey!

Hey, hey, hey!

Yes!

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Take cover!

Take cover! Aah!

Wait, McNair, what are you doing?

What is it?

You all right? You all right?

What hurts? What hurts?

I'm all right. I'm all right.

Come on, get up.

What's in it?

Careful. It may be hot.

Hot?

What are they?

Boxes.

What's in yours?

Mine's empty.

Oh, what the hell?

Damn.

I got one.

I got one, too.

Three gas masks.

Leaves four of us dead.

I hate this place.

We should all choose partners.

Okay.

Suppose we choose partners.

What happens to the partner without the mask

If the gas begins to flow?

Depends on the type of gas and level of exposure.

Could be fatal.
