Any questions?
Just one. How come there's no organ music?
S1 E1Sanctuary For All (Part 1)
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.
S1 E2Sanctuary For All (Part 2)
Many of the survivors of this disaster moved on and had children.
Yeah, if you can call them that.
[irritated] Your sensitivity is breathtaking.
The kid sucks brains! Not that I’m being judgmental.
I’m just going out to get some, uh... feminine products.
Yeah, feminine like a crate of Uzis?
You know, my mom can be pretty dark and weird, but she's good at this.
Turns out that a John Druitt was one of Scotland Yard's prime suspects in the Ripper Case in the 1880s.
Yes, he was my first patient.
Which means... either one or both of you can travel through time, either that or you're more than--
I am 157 years old.
[sighs heavily] How is any of this possible?
When you work at the frontiers of science for as long as I have, the rewards and curses are...unexpected
You know, I was hoping that at least you would be normal.
Sorry to disappoint. Is there anything else?
Is there a health plan?
No, but I can promise you the adventure of many, many lifetimes. Shall we begin?
S1 E3Fata Morgana
[Helen and Ashley exchange hand signals]
I got "I'm going in" and "go around" but what was that wiggly one you did?
"Either we work together or we die." Let's go.
([webisode version] "I'm cutting off your allowance." Let's go.)
[on the phone]
All good, Mom. The city is now minus one ugly, poodle-eating chameleon guy.
Are you hurt?
No, not a scratch.
I'll redo your bandages when you get home.
