Any questions?
Just one. How come there's no organ music?
“Sanctuary For All (Part 1)” · Season 1, Episode 1
In this episode: Doctor Helen Magnus (8), Doctor Will Zimmerman (4)
You ran me over.
You got in the way.
Let’s just say I’m someone who's chosen to embrace the full spectrum of our reality. There are things in this city - in this world - that no one wants to admit are real.
Your instincts told you that the boy was anything but normal. Otherwise, you wouldn't be here. Inside these walls are beings that make his qualities pale by comparison. "Sanctuary for all" is not an empty motto.
Fair warning, Dr. Zimmerman, you’re about to leave the world you know behind.
This isn't a zoo, and it's certainly not a prison.
Yeah, but some of these things, they look dangerous as hell.
We have a dual obligation: to study the miraculous, and to protect against the perilous.
Yeah, but... the dangerous ones. What’s the point of even keeping them?
Every creature expands our knowledge. We learn from the deadly as well as the benign.
How many more are there?
Hmm...many.
I work with sentient beings, each worthy of the same respect that humans, even animals, receive automatically. These creatures are the key to the evolution of our race, past and future, and yet we revile them, destroy them. And worst of all, pretend they don't even exist. But they are out there, Dr. Zimmerman. Lost, like the child you saw tonight. Misunderstood, hunted... and they need our help, your help.
[sighs] I- I still don't understand why you would come to me.
Because I need someone who can see beyond the surface, see the world as it really is.
I profile criminals, not monsters.
[laughs] You can't see the irony in that statement?
Good doctors come and go, but the great ones have always seen beyond the boundaries of science, beyond the known. The great ones dare to believe in the unbelievable.
