Marvel's Inhumans (2017) s01e04 Episode Script

1 Previously on "Marvel's Inhumans" Transport to Earth and take care of the Royal Family.
- "Take care of"? - Kill.
Now this is my fight.
Well, we better get ready, no? - Aah! - Lucky! Go! Go! Now! [Grunting.]
Unh! You can stay.
I will be keeping my eye on you.
Take me to where you took the others.
[Engine revving, Lockjaw yelps.]
Lockjaw! [Helicopter blades whirring.]
Get in! Hey! Black Bolt! Hey! We are gonna follow that helicopter.
[Helicopter blades whirring.]
Declan: Headsets.
Put your headsets on.
Sammy: So, we got out.
Now what? Look, I know this sounds highly unusual, but I'm Dr.
Evan Declan.
I'm a geneticist, privately funded.
I'd like to, with your permission, take you to a-a makeshift lab I've got set up on the far north side of the island.
A lab? No way.
But at my lab, you'll be safe.
It's in the middle of nowhere.
You're free to go anytime you want.
Look, I have an idea of what happens when when you open your mouth, so Are you gonna experiment on us? So, I would like to to help you understand your gift.
Well, what's in it for you? To know how How you have the ability to change, how your genetic code allows you to transform.
I'd like to, uh I'd like to do a rapid DNA test on you, if if you don't mind.
You have a wife? Is she like you? He's looking for her.
You know, I've given sanctuary to many people like both of you.
Maybe your wife's with them.
And if she's not, I promise I will do everything I can to help you find her.
Okay.
Do not lose them.
Your ring the, uh The guy in the helicopter has the same one.
I saw it on the footage of him being arrested.
It's the same insignia.
Is he your husband? Hey, do you really have to keep pointing that gun at me? Yeah.
And what if you accidentally shoot me? When I shoot you, it will not be an accident.
Yeah, well, then, I-I couldn't I couldn't follow that.
Just drive.
Oh, I'm I'm I'm Louise.
I'm Louise, by the way.
Go faster! Well, I The speed limit is, um Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! No, no! Oh, that's a red light! [Tires screeching, horn honks.]
[Siren wails.]
Oh, sh We are gonna have to pull over.
- We are not pulling over.
- Okay.
Those are police.
- We can't just keep driving.
- Yes, we can.
You know, others would not have handled Crystal's abrupt departure so well.
A good leader must project confidence at all times.
Yeah, I'm not sure I would have been able to maintain my composure if my family had disgraced me so publicly.
But that is why you are, uh, you, and I am simply a member of the Genetic Council.
"Simply"? Well, I it's It's my proper place in the in In the caste system.
As if you had no say.
I, uh didn't, really.
Is that what you tell yourself at night? Why it was acceptable to leave me when my Terrigenesis made me human? "Leaving" isn't the right word.
That would imply a proper goodbye.
You, like everyone else, abandoned me.
No one had become a human before.
But you were my friend! And I was all alone.
And I'm still your Your friend.
For how long this time? [Chokes.]
[Body thuds.]
Time will tell, won't it? It always does.
[Siren wails, tires squeal.]
[Tires squeal.]
Hold on! [Tires squealing.]
Oh, my God.
[Tires screeching.]
You lost him.
[Exhales sharply.]
Crystal: You hit him.
[Lockjaw whimpering.]
You were in the middle of the road! Hey, what is that? That's my dog.
No, no, if that's a dog, that is the biggest dog Then how did you not see us? Stay back.
Hey, I'm okay, by the way.
Thanks for asking.
And you? [Wind howls.]
Whoa! What?! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! Did you just make that happen? Stay there.
Staying right here.
Okay? Can we start over? I'm Dave.
It's nice to meet you.
Wish I could say the same.
I'm sorry about [Lockjaw whimpers.]
your dog.
He needs a doctor.
He can't take me to my family unless he's healed.
Well, if you're lost A doctor now! Yeah, my friend, uh, she's She's a vet tech, - lives right down the road - Hurry! Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
- You shot at a cop car! - [Car door closes.]
- I didn't hit them.
- They crashed! They were slowing us down.
Can you Can you put that down? I-I'm not going anywhere.
You don't live here, do you? Do you live up there? I-I documented these four energy bursts from the Moon that penetrated our atmosphere, although nobody at the office believed me.
How many of you are there? A whole city.
Wow.
I-I sent a rover up there, a mobile unit, that was crushed by a [Sighs.]
It-It looked like a hoof.
My husband's cousin.
Your husband's Your husband's cousin has hooves? Gorgon.
He's here, also, and so is my other cousin, Karnak.
- Here where? - I don't know.
We all have to get home.
I have to find my husband, and somehow, we just we [Sighs.]
I have an idea.
I have an idea, but we're gonna have to go back to my hotel and ditch this car.
[Electricity crackling.]
Through here.
[Indistinct chatter.]
[Clears throat.]
Your, um Your DNA it's not human.
Usually, when someone develops abilities, there's a there's a hiccup in their genetic code A circle, suddenly, in a row of squares.
But your DNA, it's [Breathes deeply.]
It's row after row of circles more more perfect than anything I've ever seen.
I think he likes you.
Your fMRI scan shows you have a an unusually large neural pathway connecting your cerebral cortex to your temporal lobe, supercharging your vocal cords.
I'm both in awe of you and slightly terrified Extremely terrified of you.
I don't know how you do it.
A whisper in your sleep would kill your wife.
You have the power to kill everyone you love.
Your wife.
I'll find her.
- [Comlink beeps.]
- It's me.
I have made an incredible discovery.
Are you there? Are you there? [Comlink beeps.]
Yes, I'm here.
Maximus: He destroyed a police car? Declan: With a whisper.
It's all over the news.
Everyone will know 's on Earth.
I'm sorry? I don't follow.
A power like that What if this man yelled? [Scoffs.]
I suspect he could destroy a city.
Innocent lives are at risk.
Look, that's a risk inherent in our line of work.
You have to put him down.
What? Kill him.
That doesn't make any sense, Max.
Think of it as a preventative measure.
I've never seen anyone like this, Max.
His His genetic code could be the answer, the key, to what makes one capable of change.
This could be the Great White we've been after.
If I could replicate his genetic code, cancer could be cured, cystic fibrosis Imagine a world where children don't die where you you could become anything you want.
You don't need him alive to obtain his DNA.
Actually, I do.
Cell construction changes immediately upon death, chiefly the nucleus.
Look, I-I appreciate everything you've done, and I look forward to meeting you in person.
Look, I have to go.
[Comlink beeps.]
[Sighs.]
Karnak: So by tapping into the spring here, your crops will irrigate automatically, which will subsequently cut down on man-hours by 43 percent and increase your crop yield by 56.
7 percent.
That off the top of your head? Well, where I'm from, we have very little room for growing crops, so all our engineering is based on an absolute need for efficiency.
Well, with that spirit in mind, it's actually more efficient if you clip it a little closer to the stem.
Oh.
The whole thing.
Like that.
See? [Shears click.]
Like that? Yeah.
[Chuckles.]
[Chuckles.]
There you go.
[Shears click.]
I don't know.
I don't think I trust him.
You didn't trust me or Jen at first.
Yeah.
But I needed you both to pull this off.
[Scoffs.]
An extra set of hands isn't bad.
Gorgon: Lucky didn't deserve this.
I should have never let you fight with me.
This is my fault.
Holo: Lucky's at peace now.
This does not seem peaceful.
But that's not Lucky anymore.
Look, Lucky died because of me.
Don't put his choice on you.
Holo, look at me.
Back home, I could barely go anywhere without creating some sort of damage.
I knock over things, stomp on things.
[Sighs.]
Now, I would have never thought that I would have cared about a human dying before.
Look, Auran could still catch up to us, and Mordis is with her.
This will not be a fair fight.
Doesn't mean we can't win.
[Shrieking.]
Hey, Locus, you can stop Ugh! Your annoying echo-location sound.
It's an island.
The Royal Family isn't going anywhere.
You complain a lot.
[Birds chirping.]
[Sighs.]
Well? - Working on it.
- Well, work faster.
I'm sorry.
Am Am I annoying you by helping you? You know, not just anyone can track a helicopter.
I'm going through the three satellites Callisto has over Oahu.
They should be monitoring all air traffic.
If they didn't capture where your husband landed, then I'll go through the NSA's satellites.
You know, going through my stuff isn't helping.
Neither is pacing.
There's got to be another way to find a helicopter.
No, helicopters don't have to file their flight plan, okay? No-fly zones are enacted by the military, and this wasn't a government vehicle.
Any other ideas? Just keep going.
No.
Put that down.
Put it down.
Carefully.
You know, you never did tell me your name.
It's Medusa.
[Chuckles.]
Funny.
What? Well, I mean, you hardly have any hair.
Medusa has snakes, you know? Forget about it.
Why'd you cut it? - I didn't.
- Mm.
Yeah, I went through a short-hair phase once.
New hair, new you.
Am I right? I don't want to be new.
I just want to find my husband.
Don't we all? Vacant.
You never got married? I've never been asked.
Eh, it's okay, though.
I mean, being alone's not so bad.
Don't worry, Crystal.
You're gonna be okay.
Even though it's just you and me now.
How? Because we are all we need.
I wouldn't know.
I've always been responsible for someone.
[Siren chirps in distance.]
Does our car have a tracking device on it? Like a GPS? Yeah, that's why we parked it at the pink motel.
My credit card.
[Gasps.]
My credit card.
I paid for the rental and this room on the same credit card.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
- You panic too easily.
- No, no.
Yeah, you know what? And you're from the Moon.
- At does that have to do with - I don't know, okay?! - I've only read about the Moon.
- Okay, look.
We have to get out of here.
What if I went through it again? Tibor: Terrigenesis? Maybe what happened to me was a mistake.
There are no mistakes.
[Sighs.]
We all know that humans have been changing on Earth, manifesting powers that are not as powerful as ours, certainly, but still something.
What if I was able to find that that that thing, that that key in a genetic sequence that gives humans the ability to be one of us? I could insert that key into my own genetic code and unlock it.
So that if I went through Terrigenesis again, well it would be like going through Terrigenesis for the first time.
With this key, I'd no longer be human.
I-I need, or rather, would like the Council's consent Approval to become Inhuman, which I was before I went through Terrigenesis.
Well.
The Genetic Council can't allow any form of genetic experiment on you.
The consequence could be fatal.
Are you speaking for the Council or for yourself? I am speaking for you, for your well-being.
Do I have your loyalty? Yes.
Prove it.
Let's see if we can locate your wife.
Allow me to introduce you to the others.
Any of these your girl? [Police radio chatter.]
Quickly.
- Can I help you? - Yes, sir.
[Indistinct conversation.]
My rocket ship.
I left it in the room.
- What? - My rocket ship! - Leave it.
- I'm not leaving without it.
Hey! Okay.
Look, I'm faster than you.
Meet me at the pink hotel.
- What - Go! [Lock beeps.]
[Police radio chatter.]
- [Pounding on door.]
- Man: Police! Open up! [Lock beeps.]
[Indistinct chatter.]
[Birds chirping.]
Here.
Here.
Put this on.
And keep moving away from the car.
Come on.
Come on.
Why is this toy so important to you? It's not a toy.
Now give it.
You can't talk to me like that.
What? I'm hangry.
You're hungry.
Yeah, that, too.
Come on.
How you people managed to make it to the Moon on a machine like this is beyond me.
Why? How did you guys get here? My sister's teleporting dog.
[Brakes squeal.]
[Horse whinnies.]
Is there really an emergency here? I wouldn't have called if there wasn't.
Well, believe me, I didn't want to come.
- Yeah, well, I didn't want to call.
- What's the emergency? My dog.
Why didn't you just put her dog in the cab of your truck? You'll see.
Is that Dave's shirt? I lent her a few things.
Yeah, he's gonna want that back, you know.
Who are you? Okay.
This is Crystal.
She's not from here.
Where are you from? Attilan.
Never heard of it.
It's on the Moon.
So you're an alien.
Are you really the doctor? Once I pass like nine more exams.
Where's your dog? The barn.
The dog is in the barn.
[Horses whinny.]
[Door creaks.]
[Lockjaw whimpering.]
His name is Lockjaw.
Did you cross-breed him with something? Why would I do that? Uh [Chuckles nervously.]
[Lockjaw grunts.]
Hey.
Good boy.
Okay.
Okay.
Um, the wound looks fairly simple.
Nothing seems broken.
I mean, we don't have an X-ray here.
[Zipper opens.]
Do you trust her? Audrey loves animals more than people, that's for sure.
Right.
'Cause suddenly, you're an expert on love.
Expert, no, but I know how to express my feelings rather than avoid, deny, or change the subject.
Once I'm done, um uh, Lockjaw, he's, uh, gonna need some time to recover.
I thought you said she was good.
I-I'm right here.
She is.
Why do you two hate each other so much? 'Cause we just broke up.
A year ago.
Any other questions? I still don't get why my dog isn't better now.
[Scoffs.]
God.
You are such a princess.
[Sniffs.]
Need to get more supplies from my car.
How did she know I'm a princess? For real? [The Upsessions' "Shake It" plays on stereo.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
This is so good.
I know, right? We don't have meat on Attilan.
No.
Stay on target.
My husband, the helicopter.
I just have three more of these satellites to go through and a caramel shake.
Those satellites, I've seen them above us.
Can you see my home? Where's Attilan? It's covered with a reflective dome, so So that's why we can never see it.
Does everybody have access to these satellites? No, it's my job.
Well, part of my job.
Wait.
Do you Do you have a job on the Moon? I'm their queen.
No wonder you're so bossy.
S Queen Queen Medusa and King - Black Bolt.
- Ugh.
Suddenly, "Louise" doesn't sound so bad.
I always hated it growing up.
- I still - [Computer beeps.]
There it is.
Where? Right here.
Looks like the helicopter landed in the middle of nowhere.
Are you sure this is where they took my husband? Ah, stay here, Queen.
I'll be right back.
How's your day going? This is the best day of my life.
Oh, sure.
Yeah, just leave.
That's cool.
It's like Space Camp all over again.
[Comlink beeps.]
We're closing in on Gorgon, my King.
[Sighs.]
I do love the sound of that.
King suits you.
No one else seems to think so.
What can I do? I know where Black Bolt is.
Is he alive or dead? Alive, unfortunately.
His death is essential to our plan.
"Our"? Your plan.
It is.
Isn't it? [Sighs.]
But there's been a snag.
We can't kill Black Bolt just yet.
But we can keep our eyes on him.
Well, you focus leading on Attilan.
Leave Earth to me.
[Birds chirping.]
Which way? It depends where we're going.
What is the purpose of our journey? What's the destination? Who says we have to have one? A purpose or a destination? You know what I think? Would you like me to make an educated guess? I think you spend way too much time stuck inside your own head.
And I don't wanna love, don't wanna love Don't wanna love You when the sun, you when the sun You when the sun, when the, when the sun comes up So I crash into the morning without regret Hopefully, I won't remember all your moments in my bed I need it to go 'Cause every right that we ever made was wrong Come on.
Join me.
Do Do we need to go into the water? We don't need to.
We want to.
I don't wanna love you Take your clothes off.
I don't wanna love you Do, uh, Ted and Reno ever like to go for a swim? Ted does sometimes.
Reno, not so much.
At times, he exhibits clear sociopathological symptoms.
He's a New Yorker.
Can't help question it Water's warm.
Can't help cry Can't help wondering Wondering why Where I'm from, all the water is subterranean! You can't swim? Start by getting your legs wet.
And I don't wanna love, don't wanna love - Don't wanna love - [Laughs.]
You when the sun, you when the sun You when the sun, when the sun comes up So I crash into the morning without regret Hopefully, I can forget all of your voices in my head I need 'em to go Why did you do that? Because I wanted to.
Oh, hey.
Good thing I have "Find My Computer" enabled.
I have what I need.
"I have what I need.
Thank you.
" Try that for a change, huh? I don't have time for this.
[Engine revs.]
- [Engine shuts off.]
- No.
Unh-unh.
Screw you! Okay? Once you find Black Bolt, what are you gonna do? Huh? I'm gonna find the rest of my family.
And then what? And then I'm gonna go home.
How? Oh, yeah? How you gonna do that? - The teleporting dog? - Yep.
Oh.
And what if that doesn't work? Then maybe I'll try your little toy rocket.
You want to know what's in my toy ship? Huh? My father.
His ashes.
He spent his entire life wanting to go to the Moon, and NASA, they didn't know if they were gonna pick pilots or scientists.
But guess what? They picked pilots.
And my father, the scientist, he never got to go.
Huh.
Oh.
How compassionate.
Well, your father sounds like someone who wasted his life hoping for something that was never gonna happen.
My father wasted his life, too, and he and my mother died for their ideals.
Yeah, well, I happen to think that that sounds pretty Stupid.
It sounds stupid.
Because you know what I would have much rather had growing up rather than ideals is parents.
Agon: Your parents were traitors.
You're lying.
Rynda: They may have done what they thought was right.
But they tried to lead a revolution against us.
And why your parents have been banished.
Yeah, well, maybe there's a way for our lives to make their dreams become real.
No, I designed my life to be the exact opposite of them.
Yeah.
And you know what I did? I spent my entire life trying to figure out how to get to the Moon.
And guess what? I work for a company who can get there.
Takes us three days, but we get there.
So maybe, just maybe, we can get you home with your husband and your cousins with ridiculous names.
Maybe us humans, maybe we're not all that bad.
I can't lose my husband.
What, are you gonna walk there? Look, I don't know if you've noticed, but this is kind of a big island, and I happen to have a car.
That I stole, by the way.
I've never stolen anything.
I have broken more laws today than I ever have in my entire life, and all of it has been for you.
Yeah? Yeah.
I like you, Louise.
Geez.
It took you long enough.
Let's go.
Gorgon: We got to come up with a better plan.
There's no escaping Locus.
She will find us.
She emits a sound that allows her to locate anything.
Okay.
Hold up.
Karnak would know what to do.
- Can you call him? - No.
And I don't even know how to find him here.
Look, I need Karnak to find Karnak.
Slow down.
Start from the beginning.
Where in the world did you land? Somewhere.
Somewhere green.
Everything here is green.
Lockjaw brought me here, and he would have been told to bring everybody else to the same spot.
But teleporting wears out Lockjaw.
And when he gets tired, he gets sloppy.
Look, I [Sighs.]
I just I just if I if I could get back to the beach, I could I could backtrack there, and I could f-find out more.
- Cool.
- No.
I need to find Karnak by myself.
Auran will find me, and I can't lose you guys, too.
You feel like family.
And I must protect my family.
Audrey sure didn't waste any time getting out of here.
Yeah, she did good.
She's the best at that.
I'm, uh grateful.
I guess.
Baby steps, right? Was that your high-five? [Chuckles.]
[Lockjaw snoring.]
No human has ever touched me before.
[Chuckles.]
Where's Ted? Headed into town.
Ran out of beer.
I've got plenty of room in my tent.
I mean, if you want to.
[Tent unzips.]
[Sighs.]
I know.
Who's to say they aren't being held captive? Poison.
We traded one prison for another.
So, did you call the Council to order? It is done.
[Sighs.]
The Genetic Council put me Put Attilan at a crossroads.
And as usual, the Council want to do what has always been done Maintain our social order and deny us an opportunity to go through Terrigenesis again.
We're not having a ceremony today.
Well, then, who called this meeting? I thought you did.
Tibor did, but he isn't here.
As leader of our great kingdom, I had to make a choice.
Stagnation or revolution.
Unh! As you might surmise, there really was no choice at all.
Unh! - The Genetic Council - Aah! Must be banished.
Although there may be growing pains, a society must innovate if it is to progress, achieve, expand, advance, and evolve.
We will no longer be forced to live the life we are destined.
We I will be free to accept the life I deserve.
What are your thoughts, Tibor? I [Clears throat.]
[Exhales sharply.]
[Scoffs.]
"I" is not really a coherent thought.
I agree with you, of course.
I'm glad to hear it.
But I do have one question.
What? Can you forgive me for betraying you when we were younger? I always thought forgiveness was overrated.
I have your wife.
She's still alive.
You do anything but come with us, she dies.
Mordis.
Mordis: They say you're the most powerful Inhuman in all of Attilan.
[Chuckles.]
Want to find out? [Gas hissing.]
Smart.
Mordis removes his mask, we all go up.
That's how you want your kingdom to go down.
Do it, Mordis.
[Vehicle approaches.]
[Tires screeching.]
Unh! Aah! [Inhumans scream.]
[Flames whooshing.]
[Coughing.]
[Coughs, groans.]
[Sniffles.]
Maximus.
I'm okay.
Hey.
Hey.
I'm okay.
Yeah.
[Coughing.]
She can help us find our family.
[Groans.]
[Grunting.]
[Engine starts.]
[Sir Sly's "High" plays on radio.]
Your engineering behind this device leaves me totally perplexed.
Here.
Let me help you.
I've been wondering just what would peace be like I've been staring into headlights Swallow me whole Finding my peace of mind - I'm just trying to seize the moment - [Shovel scraping.]
Trying to love the little things Even if they're hard to love A monument to love unspoken Carved into stone Unwilling to come undone
