is a promo-style video that will give you a two minute summation of Resurrection
based on our point of view. We hope this gives a preview of the show to new viewers, and entertains the existing
Resurrection fans out there!
Thanks for
watching everyone. We hope you enjoy your week with TV shows!
In this episode, we see Caleb suffer the consequences for his
actions after his return. It’s very rare for someone to get a second chance in
life, and ironically, when Caleb gets that second opportunity, he chooses to
live it by killing someone, robbing a bank, and injuring another. Hence, he has
been arrested for his actions and the federal police are on their way to
Arcadia to take Caleb for a court trial.
Elaine also learns about her father, and looses her job as a
result of his actions. Her house has been placed under a search warrant to find
the money her dad stole from the bank, and she is extremely depressed over
everything. When Maggie pays a visit to Elaine, a heated discussion arises
between when Elaine compares what a perfect life Maggie has with a god father
and a respectable job, and how she has neither of those.
Meanwhile, Tom returns the next day to see Rachael and finds
her gone. He panics that she has yet again disappeared from his life, and
begins searching for her desperately. Its through this long search that he
realises he still loves Rachael and is afraid of letting her go. When he finds
Rachael by a lake, next to a tree where they always spent time as a couple 12
years ago, he confronts his feelings to her and chooses to make Rachael stay
with him by making all the living arrangements for her.
Caleb, on the other hand is pressuring the Sherrif and the
Agent to see his daughter, while he is under arrest. When he finally gets to
meet his daughter, she breaks down and tells him how much he has betrayed her,
and how much she looked forward to spending quality life with her own father. While
they are having a heated discussion, the Sherrif and Agent Martin overlook the
conversation through the CCTV camera in the cellar looking for possible clues
as to where the money lies.
However, through this episode, we get the impression that
there is another young boy who seems to haunt Agent Martin’s memory. Caleb
claims that he is well aware of who the boy is. His identity, however, still
remains a mystery to us.
Back in Maggie Office, we find Rachael, who has come to
Maggie for a check up, as she is frequently having a dizzy feel. Rachael
refuses to give Maggie a full insight of what has happened to her, similar to
how Caleb had a mystery side in the beginning. The most shocking part is when
Maggie goes through Rachael’s test reports and finds out that she is pregnant! It’s
completely out of logic as to how one could return from the dead after 12 solid
years, let alone still be pregnant after being dead.
Another interesting twist that happens in Caleb’s cellar is
when Agent Martin enquires him further about his past, knowing that he has too
little time with Caleb because he is soon going to be taken away by the federal
police. However, when agent turns away to get some water for the thirsty man,
he simply vanishes from the Cellar!
There is a new member from “back from the dead”! It is a
young woman found sitting alone in church one night, with her hand clutched
against her bleeding knee, crying. When Pastor Tom Hale finds this woman, he
immediately recognises her as Rachael Braidwood; his girlfriend, who killed
herself 12 years ago in an accident. She seeks Tom for help; injured and
confused, claiming that she woke up 3 days ago, stranded in a corn field and had
no idea about how she got there. Tom takes her in as refugee for a night till
she finds suitable accommodation and living arrangements.
The police and Agent Martin are now seriously involved in
the murder of Gether’s and have an aye on Caleb as their prime suspect. While
they are at Elaine’s house for investigation, they realise that Caleb has gone
away with a gun. They suspect if Caleb has foreseen their arrival and has made
a run.
Meanwhile Tom, who is very much hurt from the re appearance
of his girlfriend, still finds the strength to update her about everything that
has been happening in Arcadia past few days, and that she is not the only one
who has returned from the dead. Rachael also learns that Tom is now married and
has moved on from their past relationship.
Caleb, on the other
hand is cleverly carrying out his robbery plot at the bank his daughter works
for. He robs two sacks filled with money and escaped the bank before the police
arrives. He lets his daughter (who is unaware of all her father’s actions) know
that he is going away for a while and makes a run before anyone could catch
him.
In this episode, we get to see more of Caleb Richards; the
second man of the dead who has come back to life. He seems to be very
protective of his daughter, appears to be a stereotypical father… but he also
seems to hold something mysterious/ dark inside him. He is well aware of the
return of Jacob Langston, and knows that his presence has disturbed the
community a lot. However he remains closed and conservative, adding to a sense
of dark mystery.
Agent Marty is informed of the appearance of Caleb, and he
has taken on the investigation of yet another “return from the dead” mystery.
Agent Marty also picks up the fact that Caleb is not a friendly character, and
gets a feel that there is more to Caleb than what he reveals on the surface. Further
into the episode, we see more of Caleb Richards’s arrogant behaviour, when he
kills Mr. Getheard ruthlessly with a hammer at his home.
Maggie and Martin, discussing several possible theories for
the new case, have found a clue as to how the river is a recurring motive in
every death. Jacob drowned in the river, Caleb Richards’s ashes were washed in
the river; therefore, it may be the river that has some powers to bring back
the dead. This was their theory.
Meanwhile in the families of the returned; Jacob’s father is
struggling to let go of his son who dies 32 years ago, and accept the son who
has returned, and in Richards family, Ray Richards doesn’t his accept Caleb as
his father, instead he sees him as a strange man who appears identical to his
father.
While the town is still adjusting to the return of Jacob; an
8 year old boy who died 32 years ago, there is another strange man in town
whose identity remains a mystery. Meanwhile, Agent Marty is desperate to solve
the puzzle behind Jacob’s unaged appearance. The agent along with Dr. Maggie
Langston have discussed several possible theories for this and have decided to
open the buried tomb of Jacob to see if it could reveal any clues.
On the other hand, the mystery man in town is revealed to be
Elaine Richards’s father; Caleb Richards, who died 19 years ago at his work
while having a heart attack. The family incinerated his body and washed the
ashes away in the river. However, he is now back, in a healthy condition, not
showing any signs of ageing at all. He claims that he doesn’t recall having a
heart attack, rather just losing his consciousness while he was at work 3 days
ago. Although everyone is taken aback by his return, Elaine naturally, is
extremely overjoyed about his return and accepts him into the family without
any second thoughts.
Agent Marty and Maggie Langston proceeded with the opening
of the tomb, and found the remains of past Jacob’s body naturally decayed after
32 years. They now have 2 Jacobs in their hands with the exact appearances,
exact dressing style and even the exact memories and knowledge… which further
burdens the mystery.
Resurrection
is an American fantasy drama series about the rise of the dead. The main storyline deals with the mysterious reappearance of the dead to life, causing
various reactions in the community and emotional turmoil; bringing back the
pain as well as pleasant memories for the loved ones. The story is based on the
book called “The Returned” by Jason Mott. The series premiered on March 9th,
2014.
In
the first episode, we are dealing with an 8 year old boy named Jacob Langston who
wakes up in the middle of a field stranded, somewhere in China. What he didn’t
realise was that he drowned in a river in Arcadia, US 32 years ago at the age
of 8. He manages to return to US with the help of immigration, and is in the
custody of Agent J. Martin Bellamy, immigration and customs. The kind hearted
agent, rather than giving Jacob to foster care and adoptions, undertakes a
mission to find the boy’s origin and return him to his family. Jacob is taken
back to Arcadia, his appearance sending huge shockwaves thought the community,
especially to his parents who are emotionally troubled.
Jacob has strong knowledge of everything that happened
to him as well as his aunt who died with him in the river one afternoon, 32
years ago. He clearly remembers his friend; Tom, the games he played with his
dad; Henry and his uncle; Fred. Jacob remembers everything as if it happened
yesterday, while the family has a slight memory of the events happened 32 years
ago, in real time. Unable to believe everything that is been happening, Agent
Marty decides to get a DNA test carried out. However, the result comes out
positive, stating that the new Jacob Langston is biologically related to Henry
and Lucille Langston. For now, despite all the theories and rumours clouding
the community, Jacob’s mother Lucille is just happy to get another chance to
spend her time and take care of her little boy.
