My Own Worst Enemy s01e02 Episode Script

MAVIS: You inhaled a concentrated dose of scopolamine.
It's also known as zombie cucumber.
It's put your heart into abnormal rhythm.
If I don't hit you with these paddles, in 60 seconds, you will die.
Nod if you understand.
TONY: The switch that flips you back and forth from Edward to Henry was implanted into your temporal Iobe, one of the memory centers of the brain.
It cannot be removed or replaced.
Diagnostic tests I'm running indicates a circuitry malfunction.
I've never seen this before.
I can't access the chip with that.
Can you fix it? The switch has fused onto the It's a yes or no question.
Can you fix the switch that controls when I'm me and when I'm him? No.
If this information were to fall into the wrong hands I swear, I won't tell anything to anyone, okay? That's right.
You can trust me.
(GROANING) Did the switch break or did somebody break it? I wish to hell I knew.
Tony, Raymond and I are the only ones that know about this.
We will protect you.
But there's not a Iot we can do without raising suspicion.
Thank goodness I have such a capable team.
Henry needs to be informed.
Agreed.
Unfortunately, the world doesn't stop turning for our convenience.
Brief for Berlin.
Your plane Ieaves in an hour.
Hey, baby, I know it's Iate, but the client moved up the deadline, which means I have to wade through an ocean of paper in order to reacquaint myself with German tax Iaws.
ANGIE: Poor baby.
You know what they say.
The client is always right.
Especially when he's the wealthiest man in Germany.
I love you.
I know.
I'm not sending you back anytime soon.
"I'm not sending you back anytime soon.
" Who says stuff Iike that? I wouldn't mind you being so quiet if I didn't think you had something to say.
We're risking a Iot of necks to protect just one.
That's easy for you to say.
It's not your neck.
And we're in.
The first rule of protection is you have to believe that what you are protecting takes precedence over even your own Iife.
It's nothing personal when I say I do not feel this way about you.
You're breaking my heart.
RAYMOND: So, if he wakes up tonight We'II have to improvise.
I'II have to improvise.
Video feed is Iooped.
Quiet.
There's our target.
I'm going in.
Target is isolated.
Roger that.
EDWARD ON RADIO : I got him.
(BANGING ON TRUNK DOOR) DAVID: Let me out! Let me out! (CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO) Don't start with me.
What? You didn't subject me to your easy Iistening crap on the way here? (BANGING CONTINUES) Hey! (SPEAKING GERMAN) (DAVID YELLING) He says he Iikes good music.
Your comms off, right? Nobody's Iistening from the nest? No.
Why? About a minute before Henry arrives, I get a very unusual feeling.
I think it's called anxiety.
You've gotta be kidding.
Until this is fixed, I'm gonna be waking up in Henry's world.
Which means I'm gonna be seeing an awful Iot of Tom.
Nothing personal, Raymond, but you tell anyone about this, your better half might fall down a very steep set of stairs.
(PANTING) Whoa.
Tom? Raymond.
We're in Berlin.
The suspect is in custody.
We're headed to the LZ.
What's an LZ? (BANGING) What is this? Is this a kidnapping? Is that what we've done? We've kidnapped someone? Aren't there rules about this sort of thing? How we're supposed to treat prisoners.
You can't do this! (TIRES SCREECHING) (GROANING) We don't play by the rules.
(EASY LISTENING MUSIC PLAYING) (PANTING) Fix him or put him down.
"Put him down"? I'm not a dog.
Got that right.
A dog can be trained.
Training is a Iuxury we can't afford.
Not after what happened in Russia.
If I make you inactive, Trumbull will ask questions.
You need to interrogate the prisoner.
Me? Edward.
We can't switch you back and forth, but we can say we're debriefing, stall Trumbull until Edward wakes up.
Who's Trumbull.
You're going the wrong way.
Your boy's back there.
I need to brief them first.
No time.
New intel has the attack coming any day now.
You disappointed me in Paris and Moscow.
I don't want to be disappointed again.
HENRY: Who is Trumbull? Is he the boss? MAVIS: He's one of them.
Is he gonna be watching? Yes, he will.
So, you need to Iisten to me.
You need to Iisten to me very carefully.
Understand? MAVIS ON MICROPHONE: The leader of the cell is Sala Al Din.
We don't know where to find him, but he does.
(SPEAKING GERMAN) You need to extract information from him.
(DAVID SPEAKING GERMAN) MAVIS: Don't be fooled by his appearance.
He'd kill you if given the chance.
(DAVID CONTINUES SPEAKING GERMAN) (SPEAKING GERMAN) He says he's not a terrorist.
He has a family and kids.
Tell him (SPEAKING GERMAN) (REPEATING IN GERMAN) (SPEAKING GERMAN) (REPEATING IN GERMAN) (SPEAKING GERMAN) I'm not a terrorist.
I'm a software developer.
If anyone is a terrorist, it is you people.
A software developer with a million-dollar security system on his house? A software developer with a million-dollar security system for his house? For my equipment.
My whole company is in my house.
We also know We also know that you created algorithms that enabled you to funnel Iarge cash transfers to offshore accounts that are controlled by the London based Ieaders of Fatah al Ghameq.
That is not true.
I've never even heard of those people.
Henry, open the box.
Now tell him we have reason to believe We have reason to believe that Fatah al Ghameq is planning to bomb the American embassy in London.
He needs to tell us where Fatah al Ghameq is Iocated.
We need to know where Fatah al Ghameq is Iocated and when they plan to strike.
I am telling you, I don't know.
PIease.
You have to believe me.
Henry, you have to inject him.
MAVIS: It's what Edward would do.
You're being watched by Trumbull.
Henry! (SIGHS) Trust me when I tell you, you do not want me injecting you with those.
Do you understand? Now, I'm going to take a Iittle break and Iet you think about that.
Nod your head if that's okay with you.
(PANTING) I'm sorry.
I had to get out of there.
No.
No.
It was good.
I think Trumbull bought it for now.
What are in those needles anyway? You don't wanna know.
I won't go back in there.
I can't.
I'm not Edward.
I don't believe I came from Edward.
That he That you created me.
I know that you can implant select memories.
I've seen you do that.
But implanting an entire Iife? I know this is hard.
But you were born in this building No.
No, no, no, I remember, I I remember being a child.
And the house, it smelled like pine.
I remember my mother, the day that she died.
I remember Iosing my virginity to Sally Reckhard.
A red-haired cheerleader with Iarge breasts.
How could you know that? Because we created her.
Think, Henry.
Be honest.
Is there anyone in your life? Anyone that you have known for more than 19 years? ANGIE: Henry? I'm in here.
Hey, what are you doing home? I wasn't feeling well.
Oh, what's wrong? No, I'm just more tired than anything else.
What's all this? I was just Iooking through some old photos.
I could've sworn we had some home movies of me from when I was a kid.
Hey, I'II Iook for them.
I haven't seen anything Iike that though.
Oh, hey.
You were cute in high school.
Huh? It's a good thing I didn't know you back then.
You would've never gone for a band geek Iike me.
Oh, hey, I got us a hotel room tonight.
You did? I talked to Mary.
She and Tom can take the kids.
I thought maybe we could do a Iittle bit more of what we did the other night.
Right.
You Iiked that, that thing we I did the other night? Well, we're on for 7:s00 if you're up for it.
Unless you're not feeling well, you should see a doctor.
Oh, thank you.
Hey, Rafe.
Henry? Yeah.
Hello.
Wow! Ghost of college past.
What's it been, Iike, 15 years? At Ieast.
Hey, come on.
How are you? What are you doing now? You still working for that, what was it A consulting company? Yeah, I'm still there.
Good.
You Iook good.
Corporate Iife suits you.
You, too.
I mean, you don't Iook sick.
Listen, I'm actually I'm here to see you.
I'm not sick, but I think somebody put something in my head.
MAVIS: Go ahead.
I got a call from Tony saying Spivey was on his way up.
He never showed.
Thank you.
Damn it, Henry.
Spivey's AWOL.
Find him.
RAFE: And not for nothing, but I don't hear from you, then you show up and it's, "Hey, Rafe, I need a CT scan.
"I think aliens put something in my head.
" I never said aliens.
Hey, let me ask you something.
In college, did I ever introduce you to any friends from home? Any kids I knew in high school? Not that I remember.
Why? I guess seeing you makes me think of my youth.
Well, I still need to put it through imaging software, get a full picture of the brain.
And I will call you if I find anything out of the No, no.
Don't call me.
I'II call you.
I need this to stay between us.
Between you, me and the insurance company you mean, right? Right, Iisten About that, is there any way you can say this was for something other than my brain? Henry, I'm really worried about you.
Talk to me, Tony.
The stop Iight cameras show his car parked in Silver Lake.
But his cell phone is registering off a tower That's weird, right? Not if he doesn't want to be found.
Yeah, hi.
I'm Iooking for Jessica Parker? Yeah.
There's nobody there by that name.
Okay.
Thank you.
(SIGHS) Yeah, hello.
Is there a Ted Withers there? Yeah.
There's nobody there by that name? Yeah, hi.
Is Ernie Staple there? No? Never heard of that name? Okay.
Thank you very much.
(SNEEZING) WOMAN 1: What's going on with him? (PASSENGER SCREAMING) WOMAN 2: Somebody call an ambulance.
(SIREN WAILING) (GASPING) What'd you do to me? Try not to talk, sir.
Listen closely, Henry.
You inhaled a concentrated dose of scopolamine.
It's also known as zombie cucumber.
It's put your heart into abnormal rhythm.
And as we speak, it's acting to paralyze your muscles and your vocal chords.
If I don't hit you with these paddles in 60 seconds, you will die.
I assumed after this morning's interrogation you would have a clear understanding of the risks involved here.
Apparently, that didn't happen.
So, Iet me reiterate.
You are a part of a covert sleeper operation.
We put a chip in your brain allowing us to create two people in one body.
When we need Edward to go on a mission, we flip the switch and wake him up.
When the mission is over, we put him to sleep and wake you up.
We have Iost the ability to reliably wake you up and put you to sleep.
Which means you are at risk.
If anyone else discovers that you are broken, you will be killed.
I need your complicity in this, Henry, or I don't need you at all.
(GROANS) If you want to die, choose death now and spare those of us who have chosen to help.
If you choose Iife, then you must choose it on my terms.
Which will it be, Henry? Life or death? I can't hear you.
Life.
Life.
Good choice.
(GASPS) Well, scopolamine.
Hello, Edward.
Henry needs to get back with the program.
I'II handle it.
Where are we with the prisoner? Trumbull watched Henry do the initial interrogation.
And I'm still alive.
Impressive.
He stalled for time.
Time's up.
I'm not afraid of death.
You know how freeing that is? If you're not afraid to die, what is there to be afraid of? I'm not saying I'm fearless.
I was.
Once.
That was before a sick, sick colonel with the Shining Path introduced me to these.
These are a whole Iot of no fun.
And you are gonna get to know them very well unless you tell me where the headquarters is of Fatah al Ghameq.
(GROANS) Wait.
Wait.
Cambridge.
You'II need a pen.
There's a bakery on Trumpington Lane.
Maribelle's.
They're in the flat upstairs.
Bakery, Maribelle's, flat upstairs.
Fantastic.
Now, the poison takes a moment to absorb into the blood stream.
(GROANS) I can always pull it out when you're ready to give me the real address.
(DAVID GROANS) (CELL PHONE RINGING) ANGIE: Henry, where are you? We've got an ocean view at Shutters tonight.
You couldn't have forgotten.
Our date tonight? No, no, I haven't forgotten.
Shutters.
I know, Ang.
I'II meet you there.
I just have a few things to clean up.
All right.
I love you.
I'm not sending you back anytime soon.
(YAWNING) Hi.
Hey.
Looks Iike we had a Iong night.
Did you have fun? Yeah.
It was really great being with you Iast night.
Thank you.
And you know, I know I was shy at first, but after a couple of tries Iast night you really made me a believer in What did you call it? The Hummingbird? (LAUGHING) So what if this guy's great in bed? I mean, sex isn't everything.
Hmm? Are you saying that Angie is having an affair? No.
What I'm saying is I don't know what I'm saying.
Let's say Hypothetically speaking, Iet's say Angie has this fantasy of a guy who's got this technique.
This hummingbird thing that he does.
I'm not that guy.
But I think maybe that's the guy she wants me to be.
You think? You don't know.
No.
Look, Henry, Iet's forget the hypothetical.
Is Angie seeing someone else? (LAUGHING) No.
Is she unhappy with your sex Iife? No, that's just it.
She thinks it's fantastic.
And you don't? Well, up until the other day I thought it was pretty good.
It's not perfect, it's not the movies, but (SIGHS) It's just a Iittle bit more complicated now.
So, you're the one who's not satisfied.
It's not that.
I'm just worried.
Things are changing.
I've got more responsibility at work.
I'm being asked to do things I don't know that I can do.
I'm not even sure that I should.
What do you mean? It's Iike work has become the third person in the marriage.
And I just wanna be everything for my wife.
Maybe I'm just realizing that I can't be.
I don't know what to do with that.
(SIGHS) Yeah, is Dr.
Castle in? It's Henry Spivey.
Hey, Rafe, it's Henry.
Did you find anything? I mean, it's some sort of computer chip.
It's Iodged in the hippocampus of your brain, which is one of the memory centers.
I've never seen anything Iike it.
I want it taken out.
Henry, this is next gen's next gen.
I mean, I don't know how it got there.
I don't know what it is, and I definitely can't take it out.
I mean, I don't think anybody can.
I gotta go.
Wait.
What? The scan, the pictures.
I need to take them with me.
Sure, here.
What's going on? Is there another copy? Here are the originals.
You can't tell anyone about this.
Who am I gonna tell? Me.
(LAUGHING) I don't understand.
We need a password.
A what? Sophomore year, your roommate, he had a nickname.
What was it? The Buffalo.
Why? You can't even tell me about this unless I give you the password.
Henry, you're being ridiculous.
I wish I was.
Good afternoon, Henry.
And welcome to Janus 101.
First, the phone has hidden biometric scanners.
Shocking as it may seem, we do share the same DNA.
So, this is a secure line of communication.
Second, upstairs you're Henry.
Downstairs you're me.
No exceptions.
They want you and Grady in Iegal.
What are you watching? Have you seen today's employers? Oh, it's a Iecture on trust fund recovery Iaws.
Exciting.
Yeah.
I'II get Tom.
Third, Arlene is the bridge between AJ Sun and Janus.
Her job is to account for your time downstairs to anyone asking upstairs.
She's not your friend.
She has no idea that you're broken.
Keep it that way.
Fourth, when you're home, when Janus needs you, your phone will ring.
You'll see a text message from Sal's Pizza.
Fifth and most important, whatever you were doing in Inglewood that you were trying to hide from me I will find out about.
Okay, you rock.
Oh, my God.
Yeah.
Angie gave Mary the Iowdown on The Hummingbird.
Seriously, is this even physically possible? Legal's waiting.
Mary and I aren't into that kind of thing, but thanks for showing me what sexual positions you and Angie enjoy.
What? That's not what I was doing.
By the way, I don't even think you're allowed to access these sites at work.
Isn't that true, Arlene? Okay? I wanna file a complaint with HR for what he just showed me.
Spivey and Grady are in the box.
Why does she always say that? If I told you I'd have to kill you.
Good night, Tom.
Good morning, Raymond.
(ELECTRONIC BUZZING) ALISTAIR: The prisoner has recovered.
MAVIS: I've never seen anyone go three needles without talking.
Maybe he doesn't have anything to talk about.
Or maybe I assigned the wrong man to do the job.
Finish it.
(DOOR SLIDES OPEN) Stay away from me.
Stay away from me.
Listen.
Come on, here.
Just drink some of this.
You need to drink some of this.
Listen, if you're innocent, it will all be okay.
Come on.
Just have some water.
You need some water.
You call this okay? Do you know what it's Iike to be in such pain? You know what working out would have been for me the Iast time you were here? A bullet.
A bullet in the head.
Yeah, you know, the big guy? The one who threw me in the trunk? (PANTING) I thought he was the angel of death until you walked in.
You're the devil.
You're the devil.
And my family, I stopped caring about them by needle number two.
(GROANING) PIease don't make me hurt you again.
(GRUNTING) I'II give you what you want.
Thank you.
I'm sure he Iied.
Studies show people don't tell the truth when they're being tortured.
The studies are wrong.
No, what we're doing is wrong.
And I don't mean against the Iaw wrong, which it clearly is, I mean wrong.
If that intel checks out and we act on it, Iives will be saved.
It doesn't matter.
Tell that to the people whose Iives we save.
We don't torture people.
"We"? Henry, there is no "we.
" There is no you.
Only us.
He said I was the devil.
Edward is the devil.
Not me.
But you are Edward.
And Edward is you.
And the sooner you accept that, the better off you'II be.
ANGIE: Look what I found.
(SIGHS) My home movies.
Yeah.
You should know I had to kill a really big spider in the garage, but I found them.
It's as if I Iove you.
Thanks.
Don't get too excited.
I still have to transfer them to DVD.
What's wrong? I thought you really wanted to show these to the kids.
It's not that, it's just I I feel Iike everything is changing.
Well, change isn't bad, Henry.
I mean, Iook at our sex Iife.
Change can be good.
Our sex Iife? You think The Hummingbird is a good thing? I can't even believe you Iet somebody do that to you.
Somebody? I Iet you do it to me.
And if I remember correctly, you're the one who brought it up.
I know.
I talked you into it.
But you Iiked it.
Okay, I am totally confused.
Where is this coming from? What is your problem? I don't have a problem.
I just I just I don't wanna do The Hummingbird thing again, that's all.
Fine.
Fine, good.
Good.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Assets on the ground confirm the prisoner's intel.
RAYMOND: What's CIub Lucky? It's one of the companies through which Mohamed AI Aziz and Sala AI Din funnel money.
These were taken this morning.
Din and Aziz.
You think this is their base of operations? Yes.
Which is why I want you to go there, access their computers and their data banks.
Tony? TONY: Okay.
Based on the building schematics, my best guess is the main office is on the 12th floor.
Now, forget about accessing it from the inside, okay? Once you do get in, the computers are gonna be encrypted.
Which is why you will need this.
Mega freeze spray.
The spray is tricked out to get to -50 degrees.
When you get a computer's memory chip that cold you can access the keys to unlock any encryption program.
PIus which, it's ozone-safe and nontoxic.
MAVIS: Once you've hacked into their system, we'II be able to monitor their communications.
Find out just how Iarge an operation it is and shut it down.
You Ieave at once.
I have a question.
Are you insane? You'II work surveillance.
Raymond will go in.
You'II be fine.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING) What the heck am I doing in here? AII set.
You touch anything? No, no, no.
Good.
AII right, I tapped into the security system.
The surveillance should be up and running.
What's the target's 20? What? Where's Din and Aziz? Well, they're at the party.
They seem to be enjoying themselves.
That should give us plenty of time.
Me.
Should give me plenty of time.
Hey, wait, wait, wait.
You know, I wanted to ask you a question.
I know Edward's got a codename.
Avenger.
What's yours? Boy Scout.
(LAUGHING) You're kidding? No.
I don't kid.
AII clear? AII clear, Boy Scout.
(PEOPLE CHATTERING) Hey, the targets are up.
Do you copy? The targets are up.
Copy that, Avenger.
Have you picked up their 20? Yeah.
I have a 20.
(STAMMERING) They're in the hall.
They're coming back.
I'm in.
They're almost there! You have to get out.
The files will be copied in 30 seconds.
You don't have 30 seconds.
They're at the door.
(GUN FIRING) Oh! Boy Scout? Boy Scout, what's going on? (SIREN WAILING) (ALARM BLARING) (PEOPLE MURMURING) Oh, God.
Oh, Raymond.
Oh, Raymond.
Oh, God.
(PANTING) Raymond? (GASPS) (SHUSHING) Stay here.
(GUN FIRING) (GRUNTING) RAYMOND: Gun! Run! Run! Run! (GROANS) (YELLING) (SIREN BLARING) (GRUNTING) Din? And Aziz? By the door.
Edward, right? Thanks.
Where are we? Hey, you.
Long trip? Yeah.
Kind of.
This might cheer you up.
YOUNG HENRY: Oh, my God! All right, everybody.
Say hi to the camera.
KIDS: Hi! Happy birthday, Henry.
That's great, Dad.
ALL: Happy birthday, Henry! Hey.
If I have to sit through this, so do you.
Sit down.
Hey, so what decade are we in now? Thank you, Mom.
The '70s.
Oh.
But your mom Iooks beautiful.
Wave to your dad.
Show him your present.
That's your mom? That's not quite how I remember her.
What was she Iike? She had your eyes actually.
(KIDS CHEERING) ALL: (SINGING) Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you I need a drink.
RUTHY: Oh, should I pause it? EDWARD AND JACK: No.
RUTHY: Okay.
Happy birthday to you Who drinks this crap? (ALL CLAPPING) Is there something going on you need to tell me about? I got a call today from the insurance company.
They're gonna kick back a claim for a CT scan.
Is everything okay? It must be some kind of mistake.
Where'd they say I went? Well, see that was the weird thing.
To Rafe's office.
Don't worry about it.
I'II take care of it.
Okay.
(GASPS) ANGIE: How was work? Work? Yeah, we didn't get to talk about it.
Since you went into the office in the middle of us watching your home videos.
How'd the kids Iike them? Oh, you know.
As much as a 12 and 15-year-old Iike watching their parents' home movies.
You were there.
I guess I couldn't tell.
Hey, in the spirit of us making the kids do things they don't wanna do, I think that we should take a trip back to New York.
Yeah, I mean, we've been to Chicago a million times.
I think we should show them where you grew up.
You're right.
Yeah, it's been a Iong time since I've been home.
Yeah.
Make breakfast, will you? I'm exhausted.
From what? The Hummingbird? No.
We agreed no more of that.
And thank God, because what you did to me Iast night was so wrong it shouldn't even have a name.
(ANGIE LAUGHING) HENRY: What did you do to her Iast night, Edward? Huh? You gotta It's my wife.
HENRY'S MOM: A cake! KIDS: Yeah! (ALL LAUGHING) YOUNG HENRY: Oh, my God.
All right, everybody.
Say hi to the camera.
KIDS: Hi! Say, "Happy birthday, Henry.
" ALL: Happy birthday, Henry.
Henry, say it's your birthday.
Well? Mommy's big guy? Yeah.
HENRY'S MOM: Do you like it? Yeah? Yeah.
Okay.
I got this when I turned eight from my mother.
Do you wanna see her give it to me? I've already seen her give it to you.
ALL: (SINGING) Happy birthday to you How? Happy birthday to you We took home movies from when Edward was a boy.
We cut him out, replaced everyone else.
He's real but no one else is.
Happy birthday to you I'm sorry, Henry.
(PAPER SHREDDER WHIRRING) ANGIE: Hey, Henry? Honey, dinner's ready.
You Iook awful.
Is everything okay? No, I'm sorry, I'm just Listen, you can tell me if something's wrong.
Is this about the CT Scan? Listen, I am with you no matter what.
Just please don't Iie to me.
Wait, back up for a second.
What you say about a CT scan? The one with Rafe? How'd you know about that? The insurance kicked back the claim.
You said it was nothing.
Baby, we already talked about this.
(CHATTERING ON POLICE RADIO) (SIREN WAILING) What happened? A doctor was killed.
