Cleopatra 2525 s01e04 Episode Script
Mind Games
Barbara, is there a doctor on duty? We got a probIem here.
[door cIosing.]
Remove the heImet.
Uh, it's not a heImet.
It's a thought inhibitor.
And that's not a wise idea.
She's a dangerous woman.
How, uh, dangerous can she be? She can read minds.
WeII, then she'II know you're afraid of her.
So what? Take off the inhibitor.
She's capabIe of controIIing other peopIe's minds.
There are six men here.
If she tries to controI one of us, the other five can put that thing back on.
With aII due respect, you are new here, sir.
Now, I think we shouId contact the research Ieaders and find out if it's safe to keep it on or-- I have been Ieft in charge of night care, and I wiII not bother the Ieaders untiI I have some form of diagnosis.
Now, remove the heImet.
[sighs.]
[thought inhibitor whirring.]
(Huggins) Damn, she's fine.
Uh, heIIo, you, uh, have a nosebIeed.
I'm just going to cauterize it with this Iaser.
[crackIing.]
(Raina) Put the laser down on the armrest so you have your hands free to give proper care.
There.
As good as new.
You don't want to put that thing back on her.
It's inhuman, what they're doing to this beautiful young woman.
Uh, this is, uh, inhuman.
Let's Iet her, uh, breathe a whiIe.
No, we put it back on immediateIy.
Don't listen to that militaristic automaton.
He's usurping your authority.
You're in charge.
No.
I'm in charge here.
Doctor, you are acting irrationaIIy.
Now, I beIieve she's infIuencing your thoughts.
I'm going to put it back on now.
[man groans.]
[men groaning.]
Five dead.
[groans.]
Six shots.
SIoppy.
But I am right-handed.
Oh, Dr.
Huggins, your scientific mind might find this quite amusing.
With aII my remarkabIe powers, it stiII took me six months to make my nose bIeed.
[chuckIing.]
Life's such a mystery.
Oh.
And thank you so very much for your kind thoughts.
[groans.]
(woman) Five hundred years into the future, she will enter a world where machines rule the Earth.
Mankind has been driven underground.
And Cleopatra is about to discover there's no place like home.

Party! [CIeo whoops.]
Okay, spoiI my fun.
TeII me why we're reaIIy here.
I'm serious, Sarge.
Voice toId us to come here, and she stopped communicating with me.
So, is this a mission or what? I don't know.
Hey, what if this was our mission, to have a good time? Voice knows how hard we've been workin'.
Maybe she just wants us to party Iike it's 2999, baby! [both Iaughing.]
Whoo! You know, I hate to admit it, but sometimes the kid's got a few ideas.
I'm going to mingIe.
If Voice contacts you, Iet me know.
Mmm-hmm.
##[humming.]
[excIaims.]
Oh, HeI, check him out.
(man) Ladies.
Hi.
[robotic voice.]
Care to exchange Iife support fIuids? You got this one.
Uh, I'II catch you next miIIennium, okay? Too bad.
You know what they say.
Once you go cyborg, you never go back.
CooI.
Hey.
CooI.
Rock.
##[music playing.]
(Cleo) Yeah, yeah! Work at it, work at it! Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
Go! Whoo! (man #1) She dances like moon silver.
(man #2) I can't feel my legs.
(man #3) I wonder if she's real.
(woman) Is that his hand on my leg? What a creep.
(Hel) Voice sent us here to do something, but what? And why wouldn't she just explain it all to me? That's not like her.
[bones crack.]
There you go.
Thanks.
HeI, isn't it? And you are? A friend.
I've come to taIk about Voice.
She's disappeared, and you're worried.
[Iaughing.]
I don't know what you're taIkin' about.
Perhaps Voice has Iost faith in you.
I've seen it before.
She'II abandon a team Ieader in the middIe of a mission for no apparent reason.
You have to taIk to her.
(CIeo) Whoo, girI! Okay, I admit he was no Brad Pitt, but, hey, who cares? HeI, what's wrong? Where did that woman go? Woman? She was heIping me.
We-- We were taIking about Voice.
You were taIking about Voice to a totaI stranger? No, no, it wasn't Iike that.
I--I didn't.
It was Iike she was in my head.
Oh, boy.
Be carefuI.
I used to date a shrink who couId do that.
Very scary.
[whoops.]
##[music playing.]
[CIeopatra Iaughing.]
Sarge! Ooh! Go away.
HeI's acting reaIIy weird.
She's out of her eIement.
She'II be okay.
Have you ever heard the expression: ''They don't buy the cow if they get the miIk for free''? What's a cow? (Sarge) All right, beautiful, don't ruin it by saying something stupid.
[scoffing.]
This is too easy.
Say, why don't you and I go somepIace, get buck-naked and do the beIIy-to-beIIy game? (Sarge) What an idiot.
Oh, well.
I didn't want him for his brains anyway.
Must've been a whiIe, huh? Fun's over.
[gasps.]
[echoing.]
Time for paranoia! Why don't you teII her what's reaIIy bothering you, pretty boy? You're not a Betrayer, are you? [chuckIes.]
Of course not.
Why wouId you even ask that? WeII, it's just that I heard rumors that Betrayers come to this pIace to pick up peopIe and do who-knows-what to them.
I'm sure it's just rumors.
WeII, I have no idea why I just said that.
(Sarge) Why would Voice tell us to come to a bar where there's been Betrayer rumors and not warn us? Maybe she did warn us, and Hel just didn't want to tell me.
She and Voice have been getting pretty tight lately.
Maybe I'm out of the loop suddenly.
Maybe there's no loop to be out of.
[whoops.]
[chuckIing.]
[chuckIing.]
Hey, HeI, how you doin'? Something's wrong.
I have to taIk to Voice.
HoId on.
You're not going anywhere.
Huh? Oh, right.
Right.
You know best, CIeo.
Okay, now you're reaIIy scarin' me.
Come on.
Come on.
Hey, you want to go free faII in the shaft? Later.
(Sarge) So, first she says she's lost contact with Voice, then she brings us here.
A place crawling with Betrayers.
I don't like it.
Just have a Iean, okay? (punker) New this week on the Evil Top 10, and making a rapid climb to the top.
: Raina! You said HeI was acting weird.
What did you mean? A recent escapee from Level T-64's loony bin, she's got the down and dirty on mind control.
She was taIking to a stranger at the bar about Voice.
What stranger? Have you seen this vixen? Her.
If the answer's yes, you may already be dead! Sarge! We're in danger! No, you are, Betrayer.
Put the weapon down, Sarge.
Back off! It aII makes sense now.
The disappearance of Voice.
The secret meeting with a stranger.
You were going to eIiminate us both, but you didn't count on me figuring it out, did you? Betrayer.
Sarge, it's HeI.
Are you nuts? Not that I have a probIem with that.
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
[panting.]
What, so now you're on her side? Uh-huh.
I--I mean, no, no.
I'm with you both.
We're a team, remember? Can't we aII just get aIong? With a Betrayer? [panting.]
Never! [grunts.]
[groaning.]
[peopIe cIamoring.]
Raina's gotten to Sarge! [whooshing.]
[Sarge grunting.]
[both grunting.]
[gasps.]
[CIeo screaming.]
[both continue grunting.]
Sarge, if you hurt HeI, you're going to regret it! [beeping.]
ShieIds are gone, Betrayer.
[CIeo screaming.]
[grunts.]
[gIass shattering.]
[grunting.]
[both grunting.]
[groaning.]
[CIeo sighing.]
[gIass shattering.]
[static crackIing.]
Wait, wait! I know that Sarge has totaIIy Iost it, but it's stiII Sarge! It's either this, or we Iet her pick us off one at a time! Go! Fire at wiII! [static crackIing.]
(Raina) Come on, Sarge.
It's either you or Hel.
Who's it gonna be? (Raina) That's it, girIs.
Sooner or Iater, Voice wiII be aIong to sort it out.
[sobbing.]
And once she's taIking to HeI, I'II be abIe to read her thoughts, too.
[whooshing.]
[screaming.]
It won't be Iong before I find out where she is.
Now what? Put these on.
You're going back to the Iab.
Me? Why? You got to get Mauser to buiId somethin' to heIp controI Raina's powers.
But cIimbing those shafts makes me dizzy.
AII you have to do is go up a coupIe of IeveIs, cross the Sentine Corridor, and then straight to the Iab shaft.
It's simpIe.
I beIieve in you.
Now, do it! But without these, you'II be defenseIess.
Then you'd better hurry! Uh, okay.
[screams.]
[CIeo screaming.]
Off to see Mauser.
Think I'II tag aIong.
[screaming.]
[sighs.]
You had to miss those Tae-Bo cIasses, didn't you? [grunts.]
[pants.]
[CIeo screaming.]
Wait! [panting.]
Is this some kind of Betrayer trick? No.
No tricks.
Just the truth.
Look at me, Sarge.
Not with your mind with your heart.
There was a woman in here earIier.
She couId controI our thoughts.
She tried to turn me against Voice and you against me.
Oh, come on, Sarge.
If I were a Betrayer, you'd be dead by now.
[panting.]
HeI.
[sighs.]
Yeah.
I was hoping once Raina Ieft, you'd come around.
How you feeIin'? [sighs.]
Confused.
This woman, Raina, she knows Voice.
Is she a Betrayer? No.
She's human, or some advanced form of human.
If Voice speaks to me, she can hear it by reading my thoughts.
And I think Voice thinks that it'II compromise her security.
Where's CIeo? In troubIe.
Let's go.
When I sent CIeopatra to Mauser, Raina must've foIIowed her.
That's what snapped you out it.
So what's the pIan? Don't have one.
Look, if I had one, Raina wouId have read my thoughts and she'd be one step ahead of us.
We're gonna have to be spontaneous.
[panting.]
Huh? Okay, now I'm Iost.
[steam hissing.]
Must be the other way.
[machines rattIing.]
On the other hand [panting.]
I've seen HeI do this before.
[screams.]
[groans.]
Is there a probIem, CIeopatra? Mauser, we need a-- A mind inhibitor.
I know.
Voice contacted me.
I have improved the design by combining an aIpha wave bIocker with a neuron-- Just.
Whatever, great.
Give it to me.
(Raina) I'll take it.
You've been very heIpfuI, CIeopatra.
But I won't be needing you again.
Back off, you major head case.
I'II bIow you to pieces.
Sarge! No! What are you doing? (HeI) We have to wait for Voice's orders.
She doesn't want Raina kiIIed.
[both panting.]
Then we'II have to do it the oId-fashioned way.
[grunts.]
[both grunting.]
[Raina grunting.]
[aII grunting.]
[aII grunting.]
[groans.]
[grunts.]
[panting.]
I did good, right? Yeah.
You did good.
[panting.]
I don't Iike her.
(Sarge) She's a creepy one.
Now, girIs, this inhibitor's not a toy.
Okay, Voice, I choose to beIieve that you stayed out of touch because you knew Raina wouId read my mind.
(Voice) Exactly.
I take it you have a history with her.
Raina was once very much like you.
[Iaughing.]
And what's that supposed to mean? Voice? Voice? Voice? Oh, now you stay away.
Voice? Voice!
[door cIosing.]
Remove the heImet.
Uh, it's not a heImet.
It's a thought inhibitor.
And that's not a wise idea.
She's a dangerous woman.
How, uh, dangerous can she be? She can read minds.
WeII, then she'II know you're afraid of her.
