Bionic Woman s01e02 Episode Script

Previously on Bionic Woman What's your problem? You know, Dad didn't try to control me.
Dad trusted me, okay? Dad dropped you off on my doorstep.
I'm pregnant.
I know this isn't something you just spring on someone.
Marry me.
So, I'm thinking "Coltrane" if it's a boy, "Billie" if it's a girl.
Why can't I feel my legs? Both your legs, and your arm, had to be replaced.
Also, your right ear, and right eye.
How long until she's combat-ready? She's a civilian.
Everyone has to sing for their supper around here, Will, or haven't you figured that out yet? I'm not in control.
I know.
Sarah Corvus is still alive.
My father developed the technology for the military.
You made me into a soldier.
Will! Who are you? The first bionic woman.
Ta-da! You're gonna have to do a little better than that.
We are gathered here today to honor the memory of William Anthros.
A surgeon, teacher, son, and loving friend.
"I am the resurrection and the life," sayeth the Lord.
"He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall live.
"And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
"Let not your heart be troubled.
He that believeth in God, believeth also in me.
" Are you okay? I will be.
Jaime? Give us a second? Yeah.
Okay.
We need to talk.
No, we don't.
Listen.
I know this is a hard time for you Listen.
I'm going to go back to my job and my life and pretend none of this ever happened.
So, don't call me.
Who was that? where authorities have mysteriously cordoned off this small town of two hundred.
No official reason for the quarantine has been released.
The forecast is cloudy skies Here's the thing.
You never really know anybody.
You think you know them.
You think you want to marry them and spend the rest of your life with them.
And then, they turn out to be a creep with a weird dossier on you.
What? Nothing.
The point is, there is no such thing as Mr.
Right.
From here on in, it's Mr.
Right Now.
Hi.
Hi.
Sorry! Sorry! Are you okay? I think you might have broken my rib.
Sorry.
I got a little excited.
I've got a lot going on right now.
Oh.
Oh, no, no.
I think I need to go to the emergency room.
What the hell are you doing? What, are you following me now? Who's this guy? This is What's your name? Steve.
Obviously.
This is Steve.
Go home, Steve.
Thank you.
This is getting on with your life? Go away.
I would love to.
But those legs, that arm, that ear, and that eye belong to me.
They cost $50 million.
What if I pay you $20 a month? I want you to come work for me.
I already have a job.
You work in a bar, Jaime.
You never went to college.
And here you are getting drunk and having sex with a stranger in a public restroom.
I was accepted to Harvard! And I am not at Harvard because I am raising my little sister! I think I'm going to have to throw up now.
It's okay.
The moment has passed.
I totally forgot what I was saying.
You were making a bunch of excuses is what you were doing.
God, you're a douche.
Listen to me.
You could do something with your life.
You could make a difference.
Why? Because you turned me into a half-robotic freak? You have no idea what you can do now.
It's a gift.
It's not what you wanted.
You didn't ask for it.
It's not fair.
But it's where you are.
And I'm not going to stand around and watch you flush your life down the toilet.
Why did Will have a file on me, this thick? I found it in his apartment.
And it started two years before I met him.
What are you people? Okay.
We're a private clandestine group dedicated to stopping rogue organizations from ending civilization as we know it.
I'll make it simple for you.
We're saving the world.
I could use your help.
Are you in or are you out? I am definitely out.
And now, I think I have to throw up.
Hello? I know Becca has been through a lot.
And I'm very patient with that.
Up to a point.
But smoking pot on campus? I have my limits.
I couldn't agree with you more.
Now, we can expel her for this.
Short of that, we can prevent her from doing any school activities.
Which includes the talent show this Friday.
Wait.
What? No.
Becca.
Mrs.
Buezy, I want to assure you I take this incident extremely seriously.
Becca is going to face repercussions at home.
And I promise you I'm going to stay on top of the situation.
But I would really love it if we could take the talent show off the table as a punishment.
Since Becca got involved with the drama department, I've seen a big difference in her.
She's more positive.
She's more focused on school.
And my fear is if you take that away from her, she's going to backslide.
Of course, the decision is yours, but I just wanted to weigh in.
Wow.
Okay.
You're good.
Thanks.
Smoking pot in the girls' locker room? You're a cliché.
First of all, pot's not really a drug.
Okay? It comes from the Earth.
And look at you.
Just look at you.
I mean, you're obviously hung-over.
Shut up.
Just shut up.
Can't you think of someone besides yourself just once? What is wrong with you? Nothing is wrong with me.
You know how much I've given up for you? We were just at Will's funeral.
And now, I'm being called to the principal's office? I don't know.
I mean, maybe I should just move in with Dad.
Maybe you should.
Because apparently, I'm doing a terrible job.
My God.
How many casualties? I counted 14 people from these images.
But there's every indication there's more.
Where did you get this? It's security camera footage.
A contact gave it to me before the FBI confiscated it.
What has the military said? To me? Nothing, yet.
Jonas, the media has been completely shut out.
They have no idea what's really going on.
There is a complete cover-up.
This seems like a biological attack to me.
We need to get in there.
Okay.
Let's just Let's take a peek.
Gather more intel.
The last thing we need is a pissing match with the Army.
I was such a bitch.
I don't know what's wrong with me.
Hey, honey, you just lost your fiancé and your sister's acting like a twerp.
So, don't be hard on yourself.
Hi.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You're late.
I know.
You didn't tell her, did you? If you told her, I'm gonna kill you.
Hey, sweetie, what's wrong? Nothing.
I've just got this weird ringing in my ear.
Tell me what? Big news.
I just got into Columbia Law.
Oh, my God! They want me! I'm in! I'm going to be a scumbag lawyer, you guys! That is so great! Isn't it? I'm so happy for you.
Thank you.
And I think that you and I should go and visit her.
Like, I don't know Oh, yes.
Please.
Have you been to Greenwich Village yet? No.
I haven't even been to New York.
Because I met this amazing guy there.
My God! And maybe right now we should go celebrate by shopping.
I would love to.
But I have this appointment.
So, you guys go.
Carly, congratulations.
It's awesome.
Okay, Jaimes.
That was weird.
You're reading What Color is Your Parachute? Yeah, just No, no, no.
It's a really good book.
It really changed my life.
Totally.
Yeah.
Really? How? Well, I ended up starting a non-profit group, that sends clean water systems to Third World countries.
Maybe I should buy this.
Hey.
Jack Russell? It is.
This is Scraps.
And no, I didn't name him.
My niece did.
I had one of these when I was a kid.
So cute.
Antonio.
Jaime.
Jaime Sommers.
So, Jaime Sommers, are you seriously considering a life change? I don't know.
I I just got out of a relationship.
He died, actually.
Oh.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know why I'm telling you this.
Well, sometimes it's easier to talk to a stranger.
Yeah.
It just feels like all my friends are moving on with their lives, and I'm stuck here reading What Color is Your Parachute? Well, maybe it's true when they say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
You don't know how true that is.
Maybe you just need to take the time to figure out what Jaime Sommers has to offer the world.
That's all.
All right? Come on.
We're now in Day Two of "Crisis in Paradise" as the mystery deepens.
A small town in northwestern Idaho, population 201, has been quarantined.
Still no word as to the reason for the quarantine, but police have blocked off all access roads and evacuated neighboring towns as a cautionary measure.
Please stay with News Channel 8 as we track this story.
Sorry.
Hey Hmm? What are you doing? Come on.
How did you do that? Pilates.
Yeah, I'm listening to everything you're saying, and the answer is still no.
The answer is no, and that's not negotiable.
Yeah, yeah.
We'll talk about it later.
I'm sorry.
Were you breaking up a terrorist cell? That was my daughter.
Sixteen is too young to be on the pill, don't you think? Oh! Um Well, I guess if she's sexually active, it's better to be safe than sorry.
I think it's too young.
Don't you want to know why I'm here? I know why you're here.
You saved that woman's life and now you're thinking, "Jonas is right.
I could have a larger purpose in my life.
" So, go ahead.
Feel free.
Tell me.
Say the words.
"Jonas is right.
" I'm not going to say that.
However, this saving the world thing? I'd like to give that a try.
So, here are my rules.
I have to be home by 7:00 every night to have dinner with my sister.
I don't work weekends.
And you have to get my sister on your health plan.
Oh, and this Friday night, I have to be at her school talent show.
She's doing a number from Annie Get Your Gun.
Anything else? Yeah.
My bionic ear has this ringing in it.
We're working on it.
Send Pope in.
I need to introduce you to your supervisor.
Actually, I think you two have already met.
Hello, Jaime.
Small world, huh? I keep trying to get in there with a Q-Tip.
You did not put a Q-tip in my ear.
Your ear? Okay, what about now? Still ringing.
Okay, what about now? It's still ringing.
It's still there.
Now.
It's still there.
Really? You know, could you describe the ringing? It's sort of like a dial tone, only higher.
Oh.
What? It's probably something just loose somewhere.
Or a brain aneurism.
You people act like you have all the answers, but really, you don't know anything about this stuff, do you? This is There's one more thing I could try.
Well, just try it.
Ow! What are you doing? You It stopped.
Oh, my God.
Krispy Kremes are always welcome.
Food, booze, a nice hug That ain't going to happen.
Okay.
Surprise me, then.
Hey, Nathan.
Hey.
Is she ready to start training? She is all yours.
So, it wasn't a chance meeting.
You were just pretending to be Mr.
Sensitive, waiting for me to pick up What Color is Your Parachute? No, you picking up What Color is Your Parachute? Is you picking up What Color is Your Parachute? And you don't have a Jack Russell.
No, I don't.
But you knew I had one as a kid, so you just went and got one.
Well, actually, I borrowed one from the pet store up the street.
She needed a walk.
It worked out for everybody.
So, why did you get into a deep conversation with me at the bookstore? I needed to find out if you were compromised.
If you were with another agency.
There are other agencies? We'll get into that.
So, what did you find out? I found out that you're smart, that you're honest, but you don't quite know who you are yet.
And you're sad right now.
So, what about the training? Do I have to climb up a wall? That's up to Jae.
Feeling any déjà vu? Sarah Corvus? That's exactly how she came at you.
Exactly how you defended yourself.
Just now, you got the demo.
The one programmed into your muscle memory.
Combat programming.
She was calibrating you and herself, knowing Sarah.
You think just because you have machines inside you, that's enough.
That you're invincible.
The machine is nothing without the woman.
We're going beyond the demo, Jaime.
Way beyond.
You can run 60 miles per hour.
Maybe faster.
You have enough power in your arm to shatter brick.
And you can bend steel with your grip.
That's so Superman.
You have 2000/20 vision.
Which means you can see from 2000 feet what other people can see from 20.
Your ear can isolate a conversation two miles away as if it's right in front of you.
Jaime, if you hone your skills you can become one of the most powerful weapons ever developed.
But if you fail, you will go insane.
Is that what happened with Sarah Corvus? Did she go insane? Is that why she killed Will? I don't know.
So, you were in love with her? Where did you hear that? I'm a bartender.
We hear things.
Are you still in love with her? I don't know if love is the word.
She killed 14 of our agents and I shot her in the head.
I could see how that experience might stay with a person.
My loyalty is to this agency.
Whatever I feel, Sarah Corvus is the enemy.
Okay.
Pick your poison.
So, what's it going to be? You want to spar, sprint, do pull-ups I've got a better idea.
How about you set me loose on some real bad guys? Come on.
You're not ready.
And, plus, it's not my decision.
Whose decision is it? Jonas, I need to go to Idaho.
The Idaho situation's being handled by FBI, CIA, and the Army.
Let the government take care of their crisis.
What if Paradise is just a test run? A test run for what? I don't know.
Let me go and find out.
Uncle Sam doesn't know the playbook on this as well as I do.
You need someone watching your six, Jae's working on Sarah Corvus.
Everybody else is either busy or dead.
I could go with her.
I'm not a big fan of eavesdroppers.
She'll just slow me down.
I'm a lot faster than you are.
Only at running.
Jonas Field test might not be a bad idea.
Hang on a second.
Look, keep me apprised.
Let's get a list of suspects generated.
And have my office sound-proofed.
Cool car.
I know.
'72 GTO? So, why are you here? I don't know No, I mean, why did you want to come with me? I wanted to try to do something other than sitting around thinking about Will.
Makes sense.
Were you guys close? First thing they teach you in this game is never get too close to anyone.
How can you call it a game? Second thing they teach you.
Eyes open, mouth closed.
Stop.
Stop.
Ma'am, this is a restricted area.
I'm expected.
And who's she? She's my muscle.
All right.
Here you go.
All right.
She's clear.
Let her through.
Let her through.
Marty? Back here.
Marty works for the CDC.
She's under the impression that I work for the Department of Agriculture.
Is it always the Department of Agriculture? It's whatever gets us in the door.
If you don't like this one, I've got 200 more.
Where are they holding the survivors? There are no survivors.
Everyone in the town is dead.
You okay? How can you be so cool about it? Look, if it's any consolation, today's a bad day.
A really bad day.
Don't people have a right to know about this? Well, what good would it do them? They'd just panic.
And the truth is, they don't want to know.
I mean, look at you.
You just found out, and already you wish you didn't know.
Excuse me.
Jonas Yeah, what's up? The whole town is dead.
How? An airborne synthetic called DMC30.
What do we know about it? Everything.
We developed it.
We're safe now.
It was only toxic for 12 hours.
I'm going in to get samples and find a distribution system, but If I'm right about this, and this is just the first domino All right.
I'll put a team on standby.
I thought we didn't have anybody.
So, I'll rent some guys.
Hell, I'll call Halliburton.
So, you guys developed the toxin that caused all of this? Would you please stop eavesdropping? Maybe if somebody said something to me for a change.
Over here.
The security checkpoint 20 miles northwest of Paradise was breached.
What do you mean breached? There was a distress call.
Then, we lost all communication.
Okay.
Let's pull out all non-combat personnel.
Oh.
Who's there? Jaime and Ruth.
You sent Jaime Sommers in? She's only been here three days.
Why would you do that? How much time do we have? I hear someone.
It's probably just the TV.
No.
Drop the toothbrush.
Put your hands on your head.
What are you doing here? Can I spit? Ruth, what are you doing? Put the gun down.
She's just a kid.
Where Where's my grandma? We need to talk.
Mr.
Pak.
It's nice to have you back.
It's been a long time.
Your wife is waiting for you upstairs.
You always were good at following instructions.
You're not going to kill me twice, are you? Sarah.
Happy anniversary.
Oh, my God.
I'm just here visiting my grandparents.
They were good to me.
What did this? That's exactly what we're trying to find out.
Well, why am I the only one still alive? I'd like to figure that out, too.
Maybe you can help me.
How? Do you remember anything about this morning? Anything that was out of the ordinary? There was this weird truck driving around last night.
Weird how? I don't know.
It was, like, one of those big gas trucks.
I just saw it when I was walking home.
It was doing circles around the town.
I'll be back.
Stay out of trouble.
I feel like a freak.
I can relate.
You? You don't really look like a freak.
Looking one way and being another is something I know something about.
Whoa, whoa.
Hey, hey.
Don't worry.
All right? We're the good guys.
All right? We need to get you out of here.
There There's been a further complication.
We're closing in on the girl now.
Okay! Can you run? Yeah.
Why? Go.
Spread out! Who were those guys? I don't understand.
What's going on? It's okay.
Just stay calm.
Who are you? That's a long story.
Look.
You're going to be okay.
People are going to come and help us.
Right now, just be quiet.
I thought you said be quiet.
I can't talk now.
Where the hell is my Tenacious D T-shirt? Seriously, this is not a good time.
Well, that's fine.
Okay? Because I just wanted to let you know, that Dad said it's okay for me to move in with him.
Okay? So, you don't have to worry about me anymore.
Just go ahead and live your awesome life Becca, don't do anything until I get home.
I want that T-shirt.
Who was that? My little sister.
She hates me.
I wanna check in these shops.
Someone's coming.
Team Leader 5, notify your status.
Get up! Now! Now! Now! I said now! Vivian, are you okay? Uh-huh.
Bitch.
Jaime! We've got to get out of here.
Right now.
All units, check in.
They've got heavy artillery.
And they're coming right this way.
Captain, where are you? Nice work.
Repeat, Anderson, where are you? We'll leave them a little parting gift.
Move.
Move.
Get in.
Anderson, you're on point.
Billings, back him up.
On the ground, now! Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! Get down! Lower your weapon! I said lower your weapon! Get down! Do it, now! Do it! Lose the weapon! Right now! Let's see 'em.
Guess I'm not too late.
Who are you people? We're with the Department of Agriculture.
I guess you got me.
So, now what? I'm not sure.
I guess I'll find out one way or the other.
So will I.
Why did you do it? I'm not in control.
Like I told you then I wasn't in control.
I think someone hacked me.
I watched you die.
I didn't mean to I know.
You didn't have a choice.
Are you okay? Yeah, I guess.
Thanks for all you did.
That's her.
She the only one who survived? She obviously has an immunity to the gas.
So, now, we need to find out if there's more of it out there and who's got it.
How do we do that? Just leave that up to me.
Here's the thing.
I don't like the sound of my own voice.
So I'm going to ask you once to tell me where the DMC30 is and where I can find a bunch of guys who dress up as funny as you do.
Or I'm going to get a pair of grip pliers, and I'm going to show you a little something that someone once showed me.
Yeah.
Ruth was right.
Paradise was just merely a test run.
They're rolling out 20 trucks midnight tonight.
All right.
I'm on my way.
We're 15 minutes ahead of schedule, sir.
I've got to get this manifest to the trucks.
Team one.
In.
Go, go, go.
Here we go.
Get down on the ground! Get down! Get down! Let me see your hands! Sir.
The gas trucks in the stockyard loaded with DMC30.
Good job.
Springfield.
Jackson.
Portland.
These guys were serious.
You're either thinking we just saved tens of thousands of people, isn't that a great feeling, or you're thinking you knew the world was a scary place, but you didn't know it was this scary, you just want to run off somewhere and hide.
Which is it? Both.
Listen.
I owe you an apology.
I shouldn't have sent you there.
It was too soon.
No, it wasn't.
I'm in.
It's good to have you with us, Jaime Sommers.
You were so great! You're a star! You were the best one.
Oh, shut up.
Really? Yes! Look.
I just want to say you live with me.
That's the way it is.
You are never going to live with Dad.
Are you sure? I just feel like I hold you back, sometimes.
You're the only thing in my life that makes any sense right now.
And I don't want to lose anyone else.
Okay, are you gonna cry? I'm not going to cry.
Please don't cry.
There are people here.
Come on.
Let's go get something to eat.
Let's do What do you want? Pizza?
