My Own Worst Enemy s01e09 Episode Script

NARRATOR: Previously on My Own Worst Enemy You brainwashed me? Brainwashing is something they do in the movies.
We manifested a split personality.
Talk to me, Tom! My name's not Tom.
HENRY: I didn't volunteer.
MAVIS: No.
You didn't.
But Edward did.
ALISTAIR: Your parents were not killed in an accident, Edward.
They were murdered.
I became a spy so I could find the spy who murdered them.
Sure you want to cross this Iine? (GRUNTS) I'm not ready to burn an asset as valuable as Edward.
At Ieast not yet.
(SCREAMS) You murdered them.
(GUNSHOT) (CAMERA CLICKING) I'm on Váci Street.
MAVIS ON PHONE: Perfect.
Cesnik is set to meet his buyer in front of Hotel Vadas in the next four minutes.
We have security video of Cesnik changing trains in Bucharest.
He's got the warhead with him in a briefcase.
(CLICKING) EDWARD: Oh, got him.
EDWARD: I imagine Moldova's not going to be too happy when they discover their defense minister's selling old Soviet weapons on the black market.
Good work, Avenger.
These photos will put Cesnik away for a Iong time.
Any sign of the buyer? Not yet.
(CAMERA CLICKING) Oh.
This could be our guy.
Hey, uh, do you mind if I got a photo of you guys for a magazine article on tourism? How did you know we're tourists? (CHUCKLES) Oh, just a guess.
WOMAN: Okay.
(CLICKS) Ah, Iovely.
Thank you so much! WOMAN: Thank you.
There.
Tony, get an ID on the buyer.
(COMPUTERS BEEPING) Uh, he's not in our system.
Give me a second.
(CAMERA CLICKING) Who am I Iooking at? This is weird.
The image matched to a guy by the name of Daniel Shaw.
It says here he's ex-DOD.
Most of his file's been redacted.
We don't have clearance.
Get EIizabeth Q.
over at DOD on the phone.
Avenger, change of plans.
The buyer is American.
Ex-Intelligence.
We just don't know whether he is with us or against us.
(GRUNTS) ALISTAIR: Do not engage.
Repeat, do not engage.
(GRUNTING) Repeat.
Do not engage.
(EXCLAIMS) Yeah.
Yeah, uh My comms went dead for a second.
PIease repeat.
MAVIS: Stay on Shaw, Avenger.
But keep your distance.
(CELL PHONE RINGING) Shaw.
Right.
Got it.
Got it.
Target's on the move, with a briefcase.
Okay.
Shaw is an unknown quantity.
And while the warhead alone isn't dangerous, we are concerned with what he might do with it.
(CAR DOOR CLOSING) (ENGINE STARTS) Avenger? His comms are dead.
(WHIMPERING) Twenty years at the DOD, I dished out report after report about potential terrorist attacks.
(GRUNTING) And no one cared.
(KETTLE WHISTLING) Now, I become one Oh, God.
and you finally start to Iisten.
I could have killed you back there, but I want to know who you're working for.
(WHIMPERING) Huh? Who do you work for? (YELLS) (COUGHING) You're not stuffy enough to be NSA.
(COUGHING) No CIA swagger.
(KETTLE WHISTLING) So, Iet me be more specific this time.
Tell me who it is you are Iistening for or I will kill you.
(SCREAMING) (FLESH SEARING) (YELLING) (GROANING) Now.
Let's try this again.
(WHIMPERING) Who do you work for? (GASPING) The Salvation Army.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) Well, that's too bad.
(KETTLE WHISTLING) Because, while I want this information, I don't really need it.
(DIALING) There's a body in here.
Come pick it up.
(GRUNTING) (GASPING) (DOOR OPENING) (YELLS) (GRUNTING) MAVIS: Yes? (PANTING) Hey.
It's me.
Edward, thank God you're still alive.
Where is Shaw? Target's in the wind.
Contact Interpol.
But Iisten to me first.
I think I figured it out.
I know how Henry and I can be fixed.
EDWARD: I woke up when Shaw electrocuted me.
It wasn't chance.
The same thing happened when you used the defibrillator paddles on him in the ambulance.
No, Edward, we've tried hitting the chip with electric pulses before to reboot it.
Nothing has ever worked.
Yeah, but we've never used anything that strong.
The outlet was 220 volts.
It's too risky.
I understand why we're doing it, to keep Trumbull from discovering that I'm broken.
But sooner or Iater, he is going to figure it out, and then he's going to kill me.
Unless Henry beats him to it.
No, this is a chance at a real fix.
Trumbull's talking to DOD about Shaw.
If we're going to do this, we need to do it now.
Call Norah.
If we're going to fry you, it certainly doesn't hurt to have a doctor on hand.
No Raymond? Why not get the whole team together? We'II have a barbecue.
Raymond's in Boston right now on Iegitimate AJ Sun business.
(DANCE MUSIC PLAYING) Pole dancing should definitely be in the OIympics.
It's Iike synchronized swimming.
But without the water.
Or the suits.
Hey, Tommy.
How about another round? Oh, no problem.
That's what the corporate card is for.
Hi.
Another round, please? Yeah.
Hey.
Do I know you? I don't think so.
You sure? Because you Iook real familiar.
You from around here? Nope.
I never forget a face.
Sorry, buddy, I can't help you out here.
I'm not who you think I am.
Here you go.
Take it easy.
Cheers.
Brooke.
That guy have a tab going? Yeah, of course.
Can I see his ID, please? NORAH: I have mixed feelings about this, Edward.
This isn't about you.
EIectroconvulsive therapy causes seizures.
It can turn you into a vegetable if you're not careful.
Then, be careful.
I've shut down security feeds to this room for the next 20 minutes.
Edward's vitals Iook good, and I've got a clear picture of the blood flow patterns in his brain.
It should tell us when Henry wakes up.
Are you sure? Yes.
Uh, you see? This is Edward.
This is Henry.
They're the same person, but their BP, resting pulse, even brain activity's completely different.
So, if Edward switches to Henry, all this turns yellow.
Yeah.
Okay.
We're a go when you're ready.
I'm ready.
(MACHINE POWERS ON) (GRUNTING) (CONVULSING) Does this mean it's working? Uh, no, you're Iooking at the parieto-insular cortex.
It's the pain center of the brain.
Still no sign of a switch.
(GROANING) This is too much for him! We should turn it off now! Yeah.
She's right.
His heart's not handling this well.
If we haven't seen a switch by now, it's not going to work.
Turn it off.
(MACHINE BEEPS) He was wrong.
NORAH: (WHISPERING) Jesus, Edward.
Jesus.
Oh, God.
(GASPS) (BREATHING HEAVILY) It wasn't wrong to hope that this could work, Edward.
You're no worse off than you were this morning.
I know.
This morning, Henry almost got me killed.
I don't know how many miracles I have Ieft.
Then teach him.
He can Iearn.
Oh, please.
Every mission I go on is a suicide mission with this guy, and there's nothing I can do about it.
What if you could? What if Henry wasn't you, but just some man? I'd kill him.
Edward.
What are you thinking? (GROANS) Good afternoon, Henry.
I've been waiting for you to wake up.
As you can see, we're still alive, no thanks to you.
But if we're going to survive, things have to change.
Specifically, you have to change.
Pick up the pistol on the table in front of you.
When you wake up on missions, you can't depend on me.
Or soon enough, you'll get us both killed.
And if that's going to happen, it might as well be now, when national security won't be compromised.
So, I've hired an assassin to kill us.
What? He's already here.
And in less than five minutes, he'll find you.
If you can make it out of this place alive, you're home free.
It's either you or him, Henry.
I hope you choose you.
(BREATHING HEAVILY) (RATTLING) your time trying to find an exit.
I've welded the doors shut.
You son of a And there's no windows.
That's why I chose it.
(PANTING) Okay.
(EXCLAIMING) (EXCLAIMS) (MUTTERING) (LAUGHING) (SIGHS WITH RELIEF) Nice try, Edward.
If I die, you die.
And if there's one thing I know you care more about anything in the entire world, it's yourself.
So, I'm not playing your stupid Iittle game, okay? I am calling your bluff.
Ha! (SCREAMS) Jeez! You always seem to bring me bad news, Alistair.
Most news is bad news.
What's the problem? My people can't seem to access a DOD personnel file for the former GSA director, Daniel Shaw.
Well, we quietly put him out to pasture a year ago.
He was extremely critical of DOD policies following 9/1 1.
Specifically, the Patriot Act.
Shaw's a constitutionalist? Quite the contrary.
He thinks the Patriot Act's a slap on the wrist.
When his recommendations to bolster discretionary powers weren't heard, he went rogue.
Well, then I'm afraid this may be the bad news.
Shaw just purchased an AIazan 5 warhead.
His focus at DOD was on RDD attack prevention.
He knows an Alazan warhead contains enough radioactive strontium and cesium to make three dirty bombs.
If he wants to prove how weak our defenses are, he'II attack a US target abroad.
Everyone knows, policy doesn't shift unless Americans die.
I'm giving your people level-eight clearance to the DOD mainframe and all files on Shaw.
Find him.
(SWITCHES ON) (GRUNTS) (BEEPING) What? (BEEPING CONTINUES) (GATE RATTLES) (GRUNTING) (GUNSHOT) (HENRY SCREAMING) (GUN FIRING) (PANTING) (POWERING DOWN) Where are we on Shaw's files? Well, I Iinked into the DOD's mainframe and I'm cross-referencing Shaw's reports on US vulnerabilities abroad against strategic targets for a suitcase bomb.
What's our time frame? It should take at Ieast six hours to mine the database.
And, uh, Iisten.
There's one other thing.
I think I figured out a different way to activate the switch between Edward and Henry.
But, uh It's risky.
He almost died the first time.
I know.
Set it up.
Discreetly.
Maybe next Christmas we should get some stuff for the kids, too.
Which one of you beautiful Iadies is Mary Grady? Who's asking? The name's Greene.
I go way back with your husband, Raymond.
But he goes by Tom now, right? I've never heard anyone call him Raymond.
Well, maybe you don't know your husband as well as you think you do.
Excuse me? Yeah, I ran into him in Boston.
At a strip joint, of all places.
And he was having a hell of a time.
You know, I think you should Ieave.
Hey! What the hell are you doing here? Do you know this guy? Easy, Raymond.
I was just chatting it up with your beautiful wife.
My name is not Raymond.
Tom, what's going on? Yeah, Tom.
Why don't you tell her who you really are? It's not often you get to see a dead man.
What do you mean, a dead man? What the hell are you talking about? You're good, Raymond.
But when Sullivan gets here, I'd drop the act.
He doesn't enjoy games as much as I do.
AII right.
You know what? I'm going to call the police.
No need.
I was just Ieaving.
Nice to meet you, Iadies.
Raymond? I'II see you soon.
Are you okay? Did he do anything to you? Did you meet him at a strip club, Tom? Did you Iie to me? Yes, but, you have to believe me.
I didn't I don't know how to believe you anymore.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER) out of this place alive, you're home free.
It's either you or him, Henry.
(EXPLOSION) (YELLS) PIease.
I don't want to do this.
I've got a wife and two kids not much younger than you! (GRUNTING) (CLATTERING) (PANTING) Oh, jeez.
(GUN FIRING) (PANTING) (BANGING) (SCREAMING) Hey.
I didn't expect you home.
Are you okay? Honey, what happened? Oh, it's just Nothing.
It's just been a It's been a really bad day.
I, uh I got into a fight at work today.
A physical one? (SIGHS) AImost.
With who? It's nothing.
It's stupid.
It's, uh I just got really scared.
Well, being scared is what keeps you from getting hurt.
I wasn't afraid of being hurt.
Well, then what were you scared of? I was afraid I wanted to hurt him.
I wanted to kill him.
It's only human to feel Iike you want to kill someone, Henry.
But feeling Iike it and not doing it is what keeps us from becoming monsters.
And you're not a monster.
(SIGHS) Is there something that you want to tell me? Because if you need anything, I'm here.
(SIGHS) I need you.
Can we just stay in bed all day? That would be nice.
(SIGHS) (BOTH MOANING) Do you want to tell me what actually happened with the guy at work today? (GROANS) Ang, I can't now.
Is that okay? Sure.
Actually, no.
You know, I always ask you how your day was, and you give me this vague explanation.
And it's not okay, Henry.
I mean, Iook what's happening to Tom and Mary.
Oh, come on.
That's not us.
I know.
But it could be.
(SIGHS) He doesn't tell her anything anymore.
He's Iied so much that even I believed this guy that was harassing us this morning, who was accusing Tom of not being who he said he was.
Wait.
Who Who did he think Tom was? He kept calling him Raymond.
(SCOFFS) (SIGHS) So, you know these guys? Yep.
"Yep"? Raymond, after being tortured and trapped on a boat with a trained assassin, I just Ieft my wife in a nice, warm bed to warn you about this.
So, all I get is a "yep"? Yep.
Listen to me.
These guys threatened Tom, Mary and my wife.
So, you better tell me what the hell is going on.
It's my situation.
I'II handle it.
Well, you better handle it, or I'II I'II tell Mavis! (MOCKINGLY) Ooh.
Oh, hey, we figured it out.
Figured what out? How to fix you.
What? Oh, Henry.
Hey.
Um Okay, Iisten.
When you were asleep, we conducted this experiment which we believed would fix the switch between you and Edward.
It didn't work, but I think I have figured out why.
Wait, wait, wait.
Are you telling me that we can go back to the way things were? No Edward, no Janus, no missions? If it works.
Yeah.
(EXCLAIMS) You just made my day.
Oh, great.
(EXCLAIMS) Come on.
TONY: Edward was right about Shaw triggering the switch.
He was just wrong about how it happened.
See, the ice you were submerged in may have dropped your core temperature below 84 degrees.
So, clinically, he died.
TONY: Exactly.
With no electric current flowing through the brain to power the chip, it turned off.
Then, when Shaw electrocuted Henry, it rebooted and woke Edward up.
So, we're mimicking his death to try to fix him.
Brilliant idea.
It's really not so bad once your Iegs go numb.
Are you having second thoughts? No, of course not.
I'II sleep better at night knowing my family's safe from me.
The sooner Edward's out of my Iife, the sooner He stopped shivering.
That means he's reached Level 3 hypothermia.
Henry, can you hear me? His pulse rate's dropped to 46, but he's stable.
We're ready.
(BEEPING) His overall brain activity's declining from the cold, but we'II still be able to see the switch here.
If Edward wakes up, it will turn yellow and stay that way.
Start the ECT.
Okay, Henry.
Here we go.
What's his status? Still no change.
His core temp's falling.
We need to up the voltage.
(MACHINERY POWERS UP) (GRUNTING) (COMPUTER BEEPING) Turn it off.
Hold on a second.
MAVIS: Turn it off! (GROANING) He's flatlining! We need to get him out now.
One, two, three.
Lift.
Easy, watch his head.
What did you see on the screen, Tony? I don't know.
I've never seen the brain do that before.
I suggest you figure it out.
(GASPS) Edward.
Are you Edward? (PANTS) No.
I thought that was it.
That I'd be able to come home to Angie without any more burdens.
That I'd be given some implanted answers for all of her questions.
Ignorance isn't always bliss.
(SIGHS) I just want things to go back to the way they were.
You seem quite sure of that.
I am.
Henry, can you honestly tell me there's no part of you that thought you might miss this? (CHUCKLES) Miss knowing what happens to you day-to-day? It's understandable.
You were made from Edward.
You're a part of him.
No.
No.
That psychopath just Iocked me in an abandoned ship with an assassin.
But you got out.
I've been your therapist for 10 years, and I can safely say two months ago, you would have died on that ship.
Oh, come on.
Henry, you are changing, whether you Iike it or not.
You don't know anything about me.
What are you so afraid of? (ECHOING) Edward's not the monster you think he is.
Edward Iured him to the United States.
Maybe you didn't take him down, but the CIA did.
Trust me.
I know Edward's by no means a perfect man, but I'II Iet that Iast comment slide because, somehow, I'm still alive.
It's time we figured out a code word, don't you think? Yeah.
Tony's team scoured Shaw's files and found five probable Iocations for his next attack.
We've already recovered one bomb, en route to the American Embassy in Ankara, in a diplomatic pouch.
So, there are still four different Iocations for the remaining bombs.
They're all places Shaw warned us would be vulnerable when he was GIobal Security Director at DOD.
I want a two-man team in each Iocation.
You two will go to the American School in Dubai.
We'II coordinate with Iocal Iaw enforcement from here.
Wheels up in 30.
I need you to fly solo on Dubai.
No way.
I'm not asking.
I need time off the grid, and I need it now.
The only reason I'm awake is for the mission, and I gotta take advantage of it, 'cause if I don't, two guys will put a bullet in Tom's head.
His family, too.
You're going soft on them.
Well, unlike you, I don't believe other people should die for my mistakes.
Take it up with Mavis.
Hey, Iook.
These guys who found me, I stole a Iot of money from them a Iong time ago.
I killed a friend of theirs.
Yeah.
You joined Janus to avenge your past? I needed to escape mine.
And as you know, Janus doesn't take too kindly to criminals.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Fine.
Thanks, pal.
I'm on the premises.
MAVIS: Copy, Avenger.
Boy Scout? His comms went down in transit.
Route all communications through me.
BOY: The snow Ieopard is a Iarge mammal.
It Iives in cold and arctic places.
Its Iong fur helps US Intelligence.
What are you doing here? This building, this school, was supposed to be evacuated this morning.
The police said it was clear.
They called us back an hour ago.
No.
There's been a miscommunication.
You need to get these kids out of here.
Is there anybody else in the building? The entire school's in session.
AII right.
Let's get them out.
Come on.
Okay, everybody.
Let's go.
Somebody please explain to me why I'm Iooking at a classroom full of children.
TONY: Evacuation procedures for the school Thank you.
Are handled jointly by the US Embassy and the Dubai Police Force.
We sound the alarm, they do the clean-up.
When DPF's bomb squad cleared the school, they called it back into session without our go-ahead.
Get them on the phone.
This is exactly what Shaw anticipated.
Finding Ioopholes Iike this was his job.
TEACHER: Follow this man.
ALISTAIR: He's got the warhead with him.
Well, Iet's find him.
Okay.
There are three Iocations within the school where the dirty bomb could inflict the most damage.
Lead the way, Tony.
We're running out of time.
Raymond Carter rises from the grave.
Greene told me, but, this, I had to see for myself.
RAYMOND: Been a Iong time, Leo.
GREENE: No more games, Tom? Well, you've really done well for yourself, haven't you? Wife, kids, basketball hoop.
You've got the whole deal, don't you? What did you do? Turn state's? Get into some kind of witness protection program? Something Iike that.
In case you're wondering, the only reason you're not dead yet is because I want my money back.
With interest, of course.
Of course.
You get me that, and Greene'II only kill you.
If you don't, he'II do your wife, too.
Possibly the kids.
We'II play that one by ear.
I've got your money.
Well, what are you waiting for? Not here.
You know, Raymond It's the only way you're going to get it, Leo.
Fine.
Griffith Park, at 10:00.
TONY: Shaw's most likely target is the assembly room.
It's in the center of the school, and would maximize casualties as well as make a statement.
(DOOR OPENS) What are you doing? Let's get you out of here.
The man said I need to stand here.
What man? SHAW: The boy stays.
Uh-uh.
I'II shoot him first.
Didn't I already kill you? Toss the weapon away.
Avenger, what's your status? EDWARD: Let the boy go, Shaw.
We got Shaw.
Reroute all of our resources to Dubai immediately.
Okay.
Now, I can be out of here in seven minutes.
But I don't think all those kids can.
(ELECTRONIC BEEPING) So, toss the gun down.
Okay.
Okay.
It's going down.
There it is.
You see? (WHISPERS) Run.
Good.
(SHAW SCREAMS) (GRUNTING) You have exactly three seconds to tell me where the bomb is.
(GASPING) Oh, crap.
(GRUNTING) (WHISPERING) The school is fully evacuated.
But if that bomb goes off, the radiation is still going to take out thousands of them.
Avenger, have you Iocated the bomb? (STATIC BUZZING) Avenger, do you read me? (BOTH GRUNTING) Listen to me very carefully.
If you do not find the Iocation of this bomb and disengage it, thousands of people will die of radiation poisoning.
(GRUNTING) You are the only one who can do this.
No one is coming to help you.
No one can get to you in time.
Avenger, you need to do something.
Now.
(BOTH GRUNTING) (SCREAMING) Now, where is the bomb? Tell me, or I swear to God I'II kill you.
Seat 5A.
AGENT 1: Get down! AGENT 2: Get down! US Intelligence! DPF Bomb Squad.
Do you know where it is? Seat 5A.
(BEEPING) (SIGHS) This is Avenger.
(PANTING) We've got the bomb.
MAVIS: (SIGHS) Good work.
Good work, everybody.
Okay.
I just got confirmation from the Dubai Police Force.
The bomb is safely off site.
They are defusing it now, and the radiation will be contained.
(ALL CHEER) Good job, everybody.
Tony? (CELL PHONE RINGING) Hey, I just got home.
Where are you? RAYMOND: I'll be there soon.
I ran to the store for some ice cream.
Do you want anything? No, I'm good.
You sure? Yeah.
Thanks.
I'II see you soon.
(PHONE RINGING) OnStar Center.
This is Trina.
How may I help you? Uh, hi.
This is Mary Grady.
(CHUCKLES) Um I'm so embarrassed, but I can't remember where I Ieft my car Iast night.
TRINA: No problem, Mrs.
Grady.
I see you're calling from your home line, so we've verified your identity.
I'd be happy to locate the vehicle for you.
Can you give me your license plate number, please? Yes.
It is 2BRI564.
It will just be a moment while we locate the vehicle.
Thanks.
What did you find? Okay.
I Iooked at the final three seconds of the experiment at Ieast 100 times.
And then I slowed it down, and saw this.
You see, Edward woke up.
And then, Henry.
And then, Edward.
They were switching back and forth so fast, it Iooked Iike the whole brain was active.
You know, it was just by chance we ended up with Henry.
If we'd have stopped the ECT a moment Iater, we would have ended up with Edward.
So, we can choose who to wake up.
Yes! Yes, it works.
We can all go back to the way it was.
(CAR DOOR OPENS) Well, I didn't think you'd show.
Thought you'd run Iike Iast time.
I'm not the guy I used to be.
I don't run anymore.
Not from guys Iike you.
Open your jacket.
(SIGHS) Is that my money? It's everything I owe you.
It's empty.
What? You know, your mistakes are always getting other people killed.
It's too bad.
I Iiked your wife.
She had a ton of balls.
(SCREAMING) Raymond? After all these years, you still don't carry a gun, do you, Leo? Yeah, that's the problem with guys Iike you.
You never want to get your hands dirty.
Why don't we just forget about the whole thing? (GUNSHOT) (GROANING) Consider it forgotten.
(GASPS) Walk with me, Henry.
You really proved yourself out there.
Edward couldn't have done it better.
(SIGHS) Thank you.
However, we won't be needing you anymore.
What, you're going to kill me? (CHUCKLES) No, Henry.
We're going to fix you.
But the experiment didn't work.
Tony's found a way.
Well, I thought you would be happier.
(SIGHS) Me, too.
I just (SIGHS) There was something in me that I've never felt before.
I mean, it scared me, but it's there.
It's real.
And maybe it's better to get to know the monster than to pretend it doesn't exist.
I'm not sure I want things to go back to the way they were.
Henry I don't want an artificial Iife.
I don't want to be Iike Tom.
I don't want you people deciding the kind of mood I'm going to be in when I come home to my wife, or what I'm going to say, how I'm going to feel.
Angie She deserves more than that.
Henry.
I'm sorry I gave you the impression that you had a choice in all this, because you don't.
Your very existence is a risk to national security.
This ends tonight.
Tony's waiting.
(ELECTRONIC BEEPING) Tony, what are you doing? Tony? Oh, my God.
How could this happen? Nobody can get in here.
Unless they work for the company.
You think somebody on the inside did this? Yes.
And they don't want you to be fixed.
(BEEPING) (POWERS OFF)
