Warehouse 13 s01e13 Episode Script
MacPherson
Previously on warehouse 13 claudia donovan,warehouse 13: Next generation.
Don't you want to be with people your own age? Artie,I'm at my own age.
This place is my home.
Macpherson's headed east on st.
Catherine! I want what you risked your lives to get.
I can get macpherson again.
I don't doubt it.
You came after family.
Arthur started it.
What is that supposed to mean? Ask him.
Don't quote warehouse dogma to me,arthur! A woman's life is at stake.
Many people's lives are at stake! - And you made an oath.
- I love her.
I will save her.
You love her.
I know that you love her too.
Then you know how agonizing this is for me.
You can save her life! What about the consequences? She lives,other people die! You want that on your head? You can't play god! Well,neither can you.
Neither you nor physics nor the regents.
They sit in there,arthur,and they hoard the things that can save the world.
We help them.
Well,not anymore.
I'm finished with it.
Now,give me that! No.
No!I can'T.
Arthur arthur.
Five firemen died that night.
Only the woman survived.
Who was she? Carol augustine.
She lives in D.
C.
Now,alone,as far as we know.
And she was macpherson's wife? Yes.
Did they ever nail the murdering son of a- macpherson was given five consecutive life sentences and banished from the warehouse.
So obviously macpherson escaped.
After serving two years in confinement, there was an unexplained explosion in the prison.
Dozens were killed.
We were told that macpherson was among them.
We were misinformed.
Then he shows up at the japanese embassy in D.
C.
We've had carol under surveillance ever since.
I've been monitoring the D.
C.
Operation, and he hasn't made any contact.
No,he went after my family instead.
I can understand why artie's obsessed with him.
Well,this guy has no trouble killing anybody,does he? As you go after him,you'd do well to remember that.
Come on So how do you banish somebody from the warehouse anyway? It's sounds very romeo & juliet.
No,no,no,there's nothing romantic about it.
The walls of this warehouse are infused with this very rare mineral called painite.
And before macpherson was incarcerated, he was permanently injected with a substance that reacts violently when in proximity of this painite.
Violently? Could you be a tad more specific with your modifiers? I could.
If macpherson ran through this warehouse, then his blood would turn acidic and immediately eat through his own veins.
Dude indeed.
Where are you,by the way? Already through the middle east,heading into north africa-I'll find him.
- Yeah? - It's what I does.
Well,you may have met your match when it comes to hacking through what macpherson- oh,yes.
Who da best? You got a nibble? - A chomp.
- What? Edgar allen poe's pen.
For sale.
No.
Let me see.
Excuse me.
"To view the rest of this elite collection " collection? Why would he be selling artifacts if-don't don't click that! Um,I always run a virus scan before I enter an unknown site.
- That's a good idea.
- So yeah oh,no.
No,no,no,no,no.
You do not shut down the claudiometer.
I'm terribly,terribly sorry.
Life in the cyberworld,bro.
Gonna need a sec.
- You know,you could try - touch it and die.
WASHINGTON,DC Thank you for waiting,sir.
Mr.
Freitag,I feel that this may be of particular interest to you.
What,exactly,does this do,mr.
Macpherson? Run your fingers along the rim.
Oh,god! Consider it a gift.
A taste of things to come.
Mr.
Macpherson,what other artifacts will be for sale? Mr.
Pak,already greedy for more I see.
Well,I am in the process of collecting others as we speak.
But in the meantime,behold the phoenix.
This is the reason why we are here in my factory-this demonstration? Very perceptive,mr.
Freitag.
Yes,I didn't think that cautious gentlemen, such as yourselves,would want to spend this kind of money on hearsay or legend.
You would be correct.
Carson,would you just hold this for a moment? Thank you.
What are you doing,man? Wait!Stop! He'll die in there.
Patient! Patience.
Patience.
Yes.
There.
As you see,in the right hands,this can be uniquely useful.
What is it? What's wrong with them? - Cause and effect,gentlemen.
- Cause and effect.
Even anomalies are bound by their own laws of nature.
Insignificant collateral damage.
But appropriate for a demonstration.
Mr.
Macpherson,make it stop.
It cannot be stopped.
For every life the phoenix saves, others will be lost.
Those who touch the phoenix,they will be spared.
But others are less fortunate.
You dare to do this in my factory? A demonstration,mr.
Freitag.
If you haven't the stomach for it, perhaps the phoenix is not for you.
Gentlemen can you imagine this tool in the hands of one of your patriots? The commitment of a suicide bomber who never,ever dies.
I managed to crashthe computer system, so I'm sorry,till we're up and running,deaf,dumb,and blind.
Don't worry,I'll get us back online.
A girl loves a challenge.
Oh,that's just great.
The fate of the warehousein the hands of a 16-year-old kid.
- Perfect.
- Okay,19.
19 And the same kid who found you and hacked into supersecretville once already.
Okay? A little faith,please.
Why is he selling the pen? I mean,god knowswhat else he's got.
What is he up to? Okay,let's go overwhat we don't know.
That could take weeks.
- Months.
- Years.
Look,artie,you must haveforgotten something.
You know macpherson betterthan anybody.
There must be some small detailthat you've overlooked.
Yeah,somethinginsignificant.
A contacthe might have used.
A favorite place.
A relative.
Just you two are what,interrogating me? They're investigating.
That's why we hired them.
Is it not? Um,so about carol.
How do you knowabout carol? What did--what--you told them? Everything? No,of course you did.
Of course you did.
No wonder I'm gettingthe third degree.
You think you might haveasked me before you justblurt it out? Agent nielsen! You're forgettingyourself.
Arthur,no one knowswhat he's capable of better than you.
Except,possibly,me.
Bering and agent lattimerwill need to know everything if they're to survive this.
Everything.
Yeah.
Sorry.
You're right.
It's just that I nevershould have gone to see carolin the first place.
When macpherson went to D.
C and the years have justtwisted his thinking.
I just didn't know if I wasputting her life in danger.
The three of you needto speak to her.
No.
No,no,no.
I've already put enoughof a spotlight on that woman.
You've got no choice,arthur.
She's our only lead.
Dude Don't sweat it.
I'll cover it from here.
After being magnetizedto the ceiling and nearly ground upin the gooery, I think I'm prepped.
What? Why are you shakingyour jowls at me? You should all get going.
I'll stay with claudia, and she will brief meon those two events.
No matter what he said,you're not safe.
I haven't seen james macphersonin 15 years.
I never even visited himin prison.
Well,that's hard to believesince he saved your life.
Others died that nightin my place.
I wouldn't have madethat choice.
And I have never forgiven jamesfor making it for me.
Artie knows that.
You like fresh-cut flowers.
- I beg your pardon.
- They're all aroundthe apartment.
Well,as you said,I like them.
There's a jewelry box in the trash with some wrapping paper.
- I had a birthday.
- Your birthday'sin four months.
We're very good at the google.
There's two umbrellasbehind me.
One's pink,one's black.
- Was it raining three days ago? - I think it was.
He's not the manyou think he is.
- he's changed.
- Carolcarol Listen to me.
I would like to protect you from whatever the hell it ishe's planning to do.
God,you know,you come barging in here disrupting my life.
He's only been herea few times.
When was the last? Three days ago.
Oh,well,it's easy to understand how you would haveforgotten that.
What's this? - I have no idea.
- Let me see that.
This is an egyptian symbol.
It's a was scepter.
It represents power.
The deities used tocarry this around as a sign of their controlover the forces of chaos.
It's funny it's the same as the pendant you're wearingaround your neck.
Oh,let me see that.
That's very nice.
- It's from james? - Yes.
You know I haveto ask you for it,carol.
Amazing.
You think working insome magical storage unit gives you the rightto do as you please? Stop protecting him.
I never could decide,does mrs.
Frederic hirearrogant people, or do you just get arrogantby working there? - What is it? - I got a really bad feeling.
About what? Well,I think it's aboutartie.
I think--I think he's gonna- never mind.
It's gone now.
Ironically,the warehouse district.
We are up and running.
Taking her to warp speed,captain.
Okay,do you think you canhack into macpherson's site? Well,yeah,duh.
But major fire-wallage.
I mean,you get past one, and there's another one set up right at- claudia.
Claudia,what's wrong? Who's that? That's him.
That-that's james macpherson? Claudia leena I know him.
How? He was joshua'sphysics professor.
I mean,I was just a kid,but I remember that face.
He was the one who gave joshuarheticus's compass.
He contacted me.
What?When? Eight months ago.
I was tracking artie,trying to find this place,and I hit a snag.
And out of the blue I hear fromprofessor reynolds,right.
He "friends" me.
We email back and forth.
"How's joshua?"Blah blah blah.
I fill him in,tell him about my project, and he suggests a few waysaround the firewall.
The warehouse firewall? Leena,I thinkjames macpherson helped me hack into the warehouse.
Tool and die factory? Why tool and die.
What is he doing? I don't know,maybehe's got a new career.
He doesn't exactly strike meas the blue-collar type.
All right,this is-this is a german machine,I think.
I think they all are.
- Why would he go to the trouble - can I help you? We're not opento the public.
We're looking forjames macpherson.
There's no one hereby that name.
Do you know him? Who are you? Secret service.
We're gonna need to look around.
Yes,well,by all meansmake yourself at home.
What are you doing? Close your eyes.
Okay.
All right.
Just close your eyes.
There.
You can hear me? - Oh!Yeah.
- Yes?All right.
- Okay? - Okay.
Artie,what was that? That was the gobletof severan.
A goblet of severanbecause,obviously,the goblet's in the warehouse, so there must have beenanother one that survived.
Well,I bet I can guesswhat it does.
Pete,put this glassin your pocket.
This--this-this was designedby a roman glass blower in 221 for the emperor elagabalus,who was a ridiculouslyincompetent young man.
The only way he couldget a room quiet was by using this thing.
It emitteda high-pitched sound and brought everyoneto their knees.
I could've used one of thosein high school.
Indeed.
All right,so just, um-artie,this has thategyptian symbol on it.
- The was scepter.
- Yes.
Maybe carol'S like this.
And now it opens.
Always interesting.
Hold this.
- The phoenix.
- What? - It's the phoenix.
- Wait,wait.
Let me see,let me see.
I look great in glasses.
Oh,my--that is amazing! What?What is that? "Starting bid $20 million"? - It says that? - Yeah,it's like a catalog.
But the phoenix isin the warehouse.
He's selling it? No,he can't have it.
It's in the warehouse.
That doesn't make any sense.
Why would he sell it? I mean,he's not doing thisfor the money.
Yeah,what kind of a villainwould he be? Listen to me.
The phoenix is in the warehouse.
He doesn't have it.
Well--but even if he didhave it,right, he's not doing thisfor the money.
No,he's not doing itfor the money.
He's doing itfor another reason.
I just don't know what.
Here,check it.
This is too easy.
He wants us to findthese things.
Exactly,which is what'smaking me very,very nervous about following this lead.
And making me very nervous about dragging the two of youwith me.
- Don't even worry about that.
- No,no,no.
All right,fine.
Yes,obviously it's a trapof some sort.
But he would knowthat I know it's a trap.
So what is he planning,knowing that I know he knows? Guys,this-this has the date,time,and address of the auction,and it's today.
The auction is today.
Is she certain? She claims that macphersonwas posing as joshua's professor.
That's how he madehis initial contact.
She's very upset.
Where is she now? At the b'n'B.
Your bodyguard's keepingan eye on her.
What is it? I've just always felt thatshe was out of tune.
Something hovering.
I just could nevertell what,exactly.
This is troubling.
Do you think that he couldstill be using her somehow? Yes.
Macpherson claimsto have the phoenix.
The phoenix isin the warehouse.
I know.
I'll get back to you.
Now I'm getting angry.
When I told himthe phoenix was gone, he was genuinely surprisedand distraught.
Then he told me aboutthe goblet of severan.
Well,here it is.
Safe and sound.
Open it,please.
Okay.
That's not possible.
- He can't possibly have accessto warehouse things unless - yes.
These new video displaysrecord access,do they not? Hang on.
There's my access,which was a few moments ago.
Let me just toggle backto see the last person macpherson certainly knowshow to pick his spots.
- This is frederic.
- Go ahead,I'll catch up.
I feel like custer walkinginto little big horn.
If he wanted us dead,he's had several opportunities.
This--this is aboutsomething else.
All right,well,what? This is the place.
This is the time.
There's nothing here.
Hey,guys,the phoenixand the goblet of severan mrs.
Frederic says it's beentaken from the warehouse.
And she seemed shaken.
- Mrs.
Frederic? - Yeah.
- Seemed shaken? - Yeah.
That is so not comforting.
Oh,great,great.
So what do we do now? Just wait for macphersonto drop a net on us? If he's ahead of usand we can't see him, then we're gonna have tofollow the trail he leaves until we can see him.
And we watcheach other's backs.
What? - Good afternoon.
- Nothing.
Nothing.
Do you see that? Did--did the boycause this? Artie,artie,you still got those glasses? Good idea.
You know oh,I thought I knewwhat these were--this is-but they're notthe originals.
He replicated timothy leary'sreading glasses,but why?Check these out.
The guy who gave us lsd? Dr.
Leary experimentedwith a lot of different ways to see beyond what our brainsare capable of seeing.
Okay,can I see those,please? You know,the originals,when you put them on,you never want totake 'em off.
Tell me about it.
- Artie? - Yeah.
Um,that wooden box.
Can I see that? Thank you.
Fancy! James always did havea flair for the dramatic.
- Ladies first.
- What? Uh,yeah,age before beauty.
What?He's older than me.
He's older than both of usput together.
All right,shut up.
Hold that.
Children.
I'm working with children.
Okayhand that to me.
- Be careful.
- Here.
Okay,don't tilt it.
I've got my lunch in there.
Okay.
These are warehouse 13 cratesthere.
Okay,it's--it's really bad again.
- What is?Your vibe? - Yeah.
About? Yes.
Well,when did youget it again? As soon as we walkedin here.
It just kicked mein the gut.
Are you sure? Yeah,that's whyI'm telling you.
Yeah,but you can't tell himunless you're positive.
Okay,stop,stop.
What are you talking about?What vibe? About me? - Yeah.
- What about me? Look,I don't know.
Artie,man,I hate this.
- Just tell me exactlywhat you're feeling.
- It's nothing.
I mean,I don't know yet.
Look,artie,all I know isI got a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Well,when you geta really specific feeling,just let me know,will you? You'll be the first.
Okay,look,down here see? - Yeah.
- I'm gonna go down there alone.
Yes.
And I want you guysto go back around that way.
- I think it meets uparound the other side.
- No,no,no,no!Artie!Artie!Artie!No! We shouldn't split up.
Look,if he really is planningan ambush,don't you think it's best thatwe're not all caught up in it? He does have a point.
He has a point.
Artie! Keep your tesla handy.
I'm fine.
Go.
I don't want to tell youanything more about it because I'd prefer not to haveany competition with anybody.
It's all true.
I've seen itwith my own eyes.
A man rose from the ashes to survive the blastof a furnace.
And seeing truly isbelieving.
- Wouldn't you say? - Gentlemen,thank you all so muchfor joining me here today.
Mr.
Pak,how are your ears? A little better? How's your vibe now? - Not good.
- It's nice to see you.
As mr.
Freitag hastold you all - what's he doing? - I don't know.
The priceof this particular item at 20 million,U.
S.
Currency.
Okay,possibilities.
Um,artie knockedmacpherson out and is pretendingto take his place.
Yeah,but they knew him.
They called him "mr.
Nielsen.
" No,macpherson has some kindof mind control over artie.
Well,it's a strange wayto use it.
- Well - okay,pete what if artie's trading in30 years at the warehouse for $20 million? Or oh,snap! Artie is macpherson.
Uh,no.
Ohcome on,you don'tactually believe that,do you? Hold it right there,buddy? Yeah,yeah,stay-stay there untilwe figure this out.
Cut it out,you two.
That's not me.
I'm me.
I'll make an exception.
How are we supposedto know that? Look.
Security cameras.
So? He's setting me up.
He tried to do ita few weeks ago with honjo masamune.
You don't remember? He went after the swordplus he dug up my past.
I was arrested for treason! This time he's gonnamake sure it sticks.
That must be why mrs.
Fredericsounded so strange.
Oh,so what,did he go outand get an artie suit?Huh? How do we know thatyou're not him pretending to be you? The thimble.
You really did readthe whole manual,didn't you? I did.
What--what thimble? Harriet tubman's thimble.
She wore it as she stitchedthe rags of her fellow slaves.
It became imbued with her dreamof a better life.
And it developed propertiesof light refraction,so that people saw an imagedifferent from the image of the personwearing the thimble.
It came in very handyfor the underground railroad during the civil war.
All right,well,let's justgo in and blast him.
No,no,no,no,no,no.
No,he's expecting that.
Well,what's he notexpecting? This--I didn't--no.
No.
There's no way.
Claudia.
Claudia! Leena mrs.
Frederic,this place is my home.
I would never do anythingto hurt any of you,least of all artie.
We know you wouldn'T.
Not on purpose.
What does that mean?Do you think he putsome kind of bug in my brain or something? There are any numberof methods to create sleeper agents.
Apparently macphersonhas amassed quite a collectionof warehouse artifacts.
Then torture me.
You people do that.
You've gotta have some kindof truth serum laying around here somewhere.
Pump me full of it.
Read me! Read my colors.
Tell my fortune.
Whatever it is you do,you can tell,right? Yes,I can.
And I have.
Claudia,I'm sorry,but something is wrong.
Oh,my god.
I'm like the freakin' manchurian candidateor something.
What the hell! Let her go.
For the time being it's bestif she weren't in the warehouse.
- What if she disappears? - She's being watched.
I've never seen herthis upset before.
That's what made jamessuch an excellent agent.
He'd get inside your head,throw you off your game.
Just when you thoughtyou had the upper hand,he'd strike.
twice sold to mr.
Pak.
And when I get confirmation thatthe money is in our account,then the phoenixwill be yours.
Wrong again,arthur.
Remember these? Gentlemen,this next itemis something that we went to a great dealof trouble to acquire.
Edgar allen poe's notebook,and his pen.
Together they give their ownerthe unique ability to make what they writeactually happen.
- What is that? - It's a fire alarm.
- We must get out of here.
- There's no need to panic.
Mr.
Nielsen,I'd rather not be here when the authorities arrive.
Excellent point.
Next time,mr.
Nielsen.
Gentlemen federal agents! Don't bother! I'm sorry you went to all thattrouble getting poe's pen.
I guess you wasted your timeattacking my family.
Okay,pal,time for youto finally get yours.
Just don't kill him.
He's an excellent bodyguard.
I'd hate to lose him.
Wha-who the hell- james macpherson,you're under arrest.
Aren't you adorable? You didn't really think it wasgonna be that easy,did you? Do you rememberour old friend erik? He made those wonderfulimplosion grenades,which I demonstrated for youa few weeks ago.
Before his untimely death,I had him bring back yet another old favorite--the eggshell bomb.
This time with a pinch of promethium.
If the slightest pressurecracks the shell,it results in a smallnuclear reaction.
Small but dazzling.
Carson.
Now,you two dropthose little toys of yours or arthur will losehis footing.
Thank you.
Jaw getting tired,arthur? It won't be long now.
You were a warehouse agent.
What the hell happenedto you? And now I wantto give arthur back the gift he gave me.
But unfortunately,you're going to be tried for your crimes posthumously.
You think? In your soul,you believe as I do.
That's the vibeyou've been feeling.
How do you knowwhat I'm feeling? Because I know you,peter lattimer,better than you know yourself.
I was you.
Shall I tell you the thought that crosses your mindoccasionally? What if these artifactsreally do belong out in the world, instead of being locked upby a gang of autocratic regentswho see the universe through the blindersof their own bureaucracy? Walk out of herewith me now and follow what you knowto be true in your soul.
That's a nice speech.
It sounds even betterwith the fancy accent.
- But it still doesn't coverthe fact that - you are out of your gourd,mcnutty-pants! You put a bombin a man's mouth.
Not really a greatrecruiting tool.
Fair enough.
Well,I'll be sayinggood-bye,then.
You expect us to justlet you walk out of here? No,no,I expect you to die while you're tryingto save arthur.
And I'd say he's gotabout Hey,mac.
Good catch.
So we're never turning him into the government? The government? I don't think so.
He's already proventhat prisons can't hold him.
So then,what happens to him? I mean,we're not going to,you know no,no,no,no.
Although he would happilykill all of us without blinking an eye.
No,we don't operatelike that.
We'll put himin the bronze sector.
Arthur,I'm honored.
Okay,I promiseto read the manual this weekend,but what--what is the bronze sector? Actually,I don't rememberthat being in the manual.
The bronze sector,children,is where the mostdangerous people in history have been,um what's the generous phrase? Preserved.
Yes,preserved.
People whose removalfrom society had to be certain.
They're put in the bronzesector.
Locked for all eternityin warehouse 13? How poetic.
Even a twisted mindcan be an artifact.
Let's go.
Aren't you forgettingsomething? Uh,not that I canthink of.
My blood.
If I remember correctly,my veins will burstupon entry.
I say we give it a try,see what happens.
James what a bittersweet reunion.
You've aged.
Mrs.
Frederic,you haven'T.
You must tell meyour secret.
Perhaps on a warm summer dayover tea.
Perhaps not.
All this timeyou've had them.
How simple.
I wish I'd thought of it.
What are those? Crystalline diamondswith a trace of palladium.
Palladium? It neutralizes the mineralsin his blood.
So he doesn't go kablooey.
Unfortunately.
That is a load off my mind.
Good-bye,james.
Yeah.
Let's go.
So why is the bronze sectornot in the manual? No,no,no,it's far too dangerous for there to bea written record.
If someone were to findthis place,somehow reverse the process-the point is we don't wantthese people out in the world.
So this place is filledwith,like,the worst guys ever,right? Hitler,mussolini,michael vick.
No,no,these aremen and women who would have become hitlersand mussolinis or worse,except we got to them first.
A room filled with evilthat you've never heard of.
Seems so unfair.
No,this is a processthat was first explored in mesopotamia.
- In 1230 b-- uh,50.
Anyway,the bronzing processwas too heavy,and it kind of cracked open-let's just sayit was unsuccessful.
Here,what we do is we flash-freeze the bodiescryogenically,and we preserve themby bronzing.
Unfortunately it's a painless process.
Really?How many timeshave you tried it? It's about as painfulas a sword in the chest.
Touche.
What a beautiful creature.
A farewell gift,arthur? You shouldn't have.
Just ignore the monsterin the cage.
Pete and myka,the stolen artifacts have been loaded in.
Can I get your helpreplacing them? Fine by me.
I'd rather not see this.
Oh,wait,come on.
I want to watch this.
When's the next time somethinglike this is gonna happen? Hopefully never.
Who says you can nevergo home again,eh,arthur? James.
You know,I thought I'd havea lot more to say to you.
Good-bye,james.
Arthur we can still be partners.
Pleading for your life? That's out of characterfor you.
I'm not pleadingfor my life.
I'm pleading for yours.
You know,maybe I shouldgo check on artie.
I'm sure he's fine.
You know what,I'll go check.
I'll be back in a second.
What a waste.
Gonna go downtown with my baby 'cause she looks so- Turn around.
My dear,thank youfor remembering our appointment.
Oh,that is a relief! Wave to arthur so he can enjoythe tape later.
We're clear.
You won't be needing thatanymore.
So was it all worth it? Unfettered accessto warehouse 13? Time will tell.
There's work to be done.
The codes I implanted whenarthur tried to access my site need to be activated.
Go on.
Tempus fugit.
Late,as usual.
How did you--get away from there! Or what? You've had your chance,arthur! So many chances! Go ahead,fire it! You see,there's a way aroundalmost anything partner! No! Artie.
Artie!Artie! Can you hear me? Artie!Get up! Artie.
Artie!Artie!Get up! Pete,hurry! Look out.
James,wait! Proudly Presents
Don't you want to be with people your own age? Artie,I'm at my own age.
This place is my home.
Macpherson's headed east on st.
Catherine! I want what you risked your lives to get.
I can get macpherson again.
I don't doubt it.
You came after family.
Arthur started it.
What is that supposed to mean? Ask him.
Don't quote warehouse dogma to me,arthur! A woman's life is at stake.
Many people's lives are at stake! - And you made an oath.
- I love her.
I will save her.
You love her.
I know that you love her too.
Then you know how agonizing this is for me.
You can save her life! What about the consequences? She lives,other people die! You want that on your head? You can't play god! Well,neither can you.
Neither you nor physics nor the regents.
They sit in there,arthur,and they hoard the things that can save the world.
We help them.
Well,not anymore.
I'm finished with it.
Now,give me that! No.
No!I can'T.
Arthur arthur.
Five firemen died that night.
Only the woman survived.
Who was she? Carol augustine.
She lives in D.
C.
Now,alone,as far as we know.
And she was macpherson's wife? Yes.
Did they ever nail the murdering son of a- macpherson was given five consecutive life sentences and banished from the warehouse.
So obviously macpherson escaped.
After serving two years in confinement, there was an unexplained explosion in the prison.
Dozens were killed.
We were told that macpherson was among them.
We were misinformed.
Then he shows up at the japanese embassy in D.
C.
We've had carol under surveillance ever since.
I've been monitoring the D.
C.
Operation, and he hasn't made any contact.
No,he went after my family instead.
I can understand why artie's obsessed with him.
Well,this guy has no trouble killing anybody,does he? As you go after him,you'd do well to remember that.
Come on So how do you banish somebody from the warehouse anyway? It's sounds very romeo & juliet.
No,no,no,there's nothing romantic about it.
The walls of this warehouse are infused with this very rare mineral called painite.
And before macpherson was incarcerated, he was permanently injected with a substance that reacts violently when in proximity of this painite.
Violently? Could you be a tad more specific with your modifiers? I could.
If macpherson ran through this warehouse, then his blood would turn acidic and immediately eat through his own veins.
Dude indeed.
Where are you,by the way? Already through the middle east,heading into north africa-I'll find him.
- Yeah? - It's what I does.
Well,you may have met your match when it comes to hacking through what macpherson- oh,yes.
Who da best? You got a nibble? - A chomp.
- What? Edgar allen poe's pen.
For sale.
No.
Let me see.
Excuse me.
"To view the rest of this elite collection " collection? Why would he be selling artifacts if-don't don't click that! Um,I always run a virus scan before I enter an unknown site.
- That's a good idea.
- So yeah oh,no.
No,no,no,no,no.
You do not shut down the claudiometer.
I'm terribly,terribly sorry.
Life in the cyberworld,bro.
Gonna need a sec.
- You know,you could try - touch it and die.
WASHINGTON,DC Thank you for waiting,sir.
Mr.
Freitag,I feel that this may be of particular interest to you.
What,exactly,does this do,mr.
Macpherson? Run your fingers along the rim.
Oh,god! Consider it a gift.
A taste of things to come.
Mr.
Macpherson,what other artifacts will be for sale? Mr.
Pak,already greedy for more I see.
Well,I am in the process of collecting others as we speak.
But in the meantime,behold the phoenix.
This is the reason why we are here in my factory-this demonstration? Very perceptive,mr.
Freitag.
Yes,I didn't think that cautious gentlemen, such as yourselves,would want to spend this kind of money on hearsay or legend.
You would be correct.
Carson,would you just hold this for a moment? Thank you.
What are you doing,man? Wait!Stop! He'll die in there.
Patient! Patience.
Patience.
Yes.
There.
As you see,in the right hands,this can be uniquely useful.
What is it? What's wrong with them? - Cause and effect,gentlemen.
- Cause and effect.
Even anomalies are bound by their own laws of nature.
Insignificant collateral damage.
But appropriate for a demonstration.
Mr.
Macpherson,make it stop.
It cannot be stopped.
For every life the phoenix saves, others will be lost.
Those who touch the phoenix,they will be spared.
But others are less fortunate.
You dare to do this in my factory? A demonstration,mr.
Freitag.
If you haven't the stomach for it, perhaps the phoenix is not for you.
Gentlemen can you imagine this tool in the hands of one of your patriots? The commitment of a suicide bomber who never,ever dies.
I managed to crashthe computer system, so I'm sorry,till we're up and running,deaf,dumb,and blind.
Don't worry,I'll get us back online.
A girl loves a challenge.
Oh,that's just great.
The fate of the warehousein the hands of a 16-year-old kid.
- Perfect.
- Okay,19.
19 And the same kid who found you and hacked into supersecretville once already.
Okay? A little faith,please.
Why is he selling the pen? I mean,god knowswhat else he's got.
What is he up to? Okay,let's go overwhat we don't know.
That could take weeks.
- Months.
- Years.
Look,artie,you must haveforgotten something.
You know macpherson betterthan anybody.
There must be some small detailthat you've overlooked.
Yeah,somethinginsignificant.
A contacthe might have used.
A favorite place.
A relative.
Just you two are what,interrogating me? They're investigating.
That's why we hired them.
Is it not? Um,so about carol.
How do you knowabout carol? What did--what--you told them? Everything? No,of course you did.
Of course you did.
No wonder I'm gettingthe third degree.
You think you might haveasked me before you justblurt it out? Agent nielsen! You're forgettingyourself.
Arthur,no one knowswhat he's capable of better than you.
Except,possibly,me.
Bering and agent lattimerwill need to know everything if they're to survive this.
Everything.
Yeah.
Sorry.
You're right.
It's just that I nevershould have gone to see carolin the first place.
When macpherson went to D.
C and the years have justtwisted his thinking.
I just didn't know if I wasputting her life in danger.
The three of you needto speak to her.
No.
No,no,no.
I've already put enoughof a spotlight on that woman.
You've got no choice,arthur.
She's our only lead.
Dude Don't sweat it.
I'll cover it from here.
After being magnetizedto the ceiling and nearly ground upin the gooery, I think I'm prepped.
What? Why are you shakingyour jowls at me? You should all get going.
I'll stay with claudia, and she will brief meon those two events.
No matter what he said,you're not safe.
I haven't seen james macphersonin 15 years.
I never even visited himin prison.
Well,that's hard to believesince he saved your life.
Others died that nightin my place.
I wouldn't have madethat choice.
And I have never forgiven jamesfor making it for me.
Artie knows that.
You like fresh-cut flowers.
- I beg your pardon.
- They're all aroundthe apartment.
Well,as you said,I like them.
There's a jewelry box in the trash with some wrapping paper.
- I had a birthday.
- Your birthday'sin four months.
We're very good at the google.
There's two umbrellasbehind me.
One's pink,one's black.
- Was it raining three days ago? - I think it was.
He's not the manyou think he is.
- he's changed.
- Carolcarol Listen to me.
I would like to protect you from whatever the hell it ishe's planning to do.
God,you know,you come barging in here disrupting my life.
He's only been herea few times.
When was the last? Three days ago.
Oh,well,it's easy to understand how you would haveforgotten that.
What's this? - I have no idea.
- Let me see that.
This is an egyptian symbol.
It's a was scepter.
It represents power.
The deities used tocarry this around as a sign of their controlover the forces of chaos.
It's funny it's the same as the pendant you're wearingaround your neck.
Oh,let me see that.
That's very nice.
- It's from james? - Yes.
You know I haveto ask you for it,carol.
Amazing.
You think working insome magical storage unit gives you the rightto do as you please? Stop protecting him.
I never could decide,does mrs.
Frederic hirearrogant people, or do you just get arrogantby working there? - What is it? - I got a really bad feeling.
About what? Well,I think it's aboutartie.
I think--I think he's gonna- never mind.
It's gone now.
Ironically,the warehouse district.
We are up and running.
Taking her to warp speed,captain.
Okay,do you think you canhack into macpherson's site? Well,yeah,duh.
But major fire-wallage.
I mean,you get past one, and there's another one set up right at- claudia.
Claudia,what's wrong? Who's that? That's him.
That-that's james macpherson? Claudia leena I know him.
How? He was joshua'sphysics professor.
I mean,I was just a kid,but I remember that face.
He was the one who gave joshuarheticus's compass.
He contacted me.
What?When? Eight months ago.
I was tracking artie,trying to find this place,and I hit a snag.
And out of the blue I hear fromprofessor reynolds,right.
He "friends" me.
We email back and forth.
"How's joshua?"Blah blah blah.
I fill him in,tell him about my project, and he suggests a few waysaround the firewall.
The warehouse firewall? Leena,I thinkjames macpherson helped me hack into the warehouse.
Tool and die factory? Why tool and die.
What is he doing? I don't know,maybehe's got a new career.
He doesn't exactly strike meas the blue-collar type.
All right,this is-this is a german machine,I think.
I think they all are.
- Why would he go to the trouble - can I help you? We're not opento the public.
We're looking forjames macpherson.
There's no one hereby that name.
Do you know him? Who are you? Secret service.
We're gonna need to look around.
Yes,well,by all meansmake yourself at home.
What are you doing? Close your eyes.
Okay.
All right.
Just close your eyes.
There.
You can hear me? - Oh!Yeah.
- Yes?All right.
- Okay? - Okay.
Artie,what was that? That was the gobletof severan.
A goblet of severanbecause,obviously,the goblet's in the warehouse, so there must have beenanother one that survived.
Well,I bet I can guesswhat it does.
Pete,put this glassin your pocket.
This--this-this was designedby a roman glass blower in 221 for the emperor elagabalus,who was a ridiculouslyincompetent young man.
The only way he couldget a room quiet was by using this thing.
It emitteda high-pitched sound and brought everyoneto their knees.
I could've used one of thosein high school.
Indeed.
All right,so just, um-artie,this has thategyptian symbol on it.
- The was scepter.
- Yes.
Maybe carol'S like this.
And now it opens.
Always interesting.
Hold this.
- The phoenix.
- What? - It's the phoenix.
- Wait,wait.
Let me see,let me see.
I look great in glasses.
Oh,my--that is amazing! What?What is that? "Starting bid $20 million"? - It says that? - Yeah,it's like a catalog.
But the phoenix isin the warehouse.
He's selling it? No,he can't have it.
It's in the warehouse.
That doesn't make any sense.
Why would he sell it? I mean,he's not doing thisfor the money.
Yeah,what kind of a villainwould he be? Listen to me.
The phoenix is in the warehouse.
He doesn't have it.
Well--but even if he didhave it,right, he's not doing thisfor the money.
No,he's not doing itfor the money.
He's doing itfor another reason.
I just don't know what.
Here,check it.
This is too easy.
He wants us to findthese things.
Exactly,which is what'smaking me very,very nervous about following this lead.
And making me very nervous about dragging the two of youwith me.
- Don't even worry about that.
- No,no,no.
All right,fine.
Yes,obviously it's a trapof some sort.
But he would knowthat I know it's a trap.
So what is he planning,knowing that I know he knows? Guys,this-this has the date,time,and address of the auction,and it's today.
The auction is today.
Is she certain? She claims that macphersonwas posing as joshua's professor.
That's how he madehis initial contact.
She's very upset.
Where is she now? At the b'n'B.
Your bodyguard's keepingan eye on her.
What is it? I've just always felt thatshe was out of tune.
Something hovering.
I just could nevertell what,exactly.
This is troubling.
Do you think that he couldstill be using her somehow? Yes.
Macpherson claimsto have the phoenix.
The phoenix isin the warehouse.
I know.
I'll get back to you.
Now I'm getting angry.
When I told himthe phoenix was gone, he was genuinely surprisedand distraught.
Then he told me aboutthe goblet of severan.
Well,here it is.
Safe and sound.
Open it,please.
Okay.
That's not possible.
- He can't possibly have accessto warehouse things unless - yes.
These new video displaysrecord access,do they not? Hang on.
There's my access,which was a few moments ago.
Let me just toggle backto see the last person macpherson certainly knowshow to pick his spots.
- This is frederic.
- Go ahead,I'll catch up.
I feel like custer walkinginto little big horn.
If he wanted us dead,he's had several opportunities.
This--this is aboutsomething else.
All right,well,what? This is the place.
This is the time.
There's nothing here.
Hey,guys,the phoenixand the goblet of severan mrs.
Frederic says it's beentaken from the warehouse.
And she seemed shaken.
- Mrs.
Frederic? - Yeah.
- Seemed shaken? - Yeah.
That is so not comforting.
Oh,great,great.
So what do we do now? Just wait for macphersonto drop a net on us? If he's ahead of usand we can't see him, then we're gonna have tofollow the trail he leaves until we can see him.
And we watcheach other's backs.
What? - Good afternoon.
- Nothing.
Nothing.
Do you see that? Did--did the boycause this? Artie,artie,you still got those glasses? Good idea.
You know oh,I thought I knewwhat these were--this is-but they're notthe originals.
He replicated timothy leary'sreading glasses,but why?Check these out.
The guy who gave us lsd? Dr.
Leary experimentedwith a lot of different ways to see beyond what our brainsare capable of seeing.
Okay,can I see those,please? You know,the originals,when you put them on,you never want totake 'em off.
Tell me about it.
- Artie? - Yeah.
Um,that wooden box.
Can I see that? Thank you.
Fancy! James always did havea flair for the dramatic.
- Ladies first.
- What? Uh,yeah,age before beauty.
What?He's older than me.
He's older than both of usput together.
All right,shut up.
Hold that.
Children.
I'm working with children.
Okayhand that to me.
- Be careful.
- Here.
Okay,don't tilt it.
I've got my lunch in there.
Okay.
These are warehouse 13 cratesthere.
Okay,it's--it's really bad again.
- What is?Your vibe? - Yeah.
About? Yes.
Well,when did youget it again? As soon as we walkedin here.
It just kicked mein the gut.
Are you sure? Yeah,that's whyI'm telling you.
Yeah,but you can't tell himunless you're positive.
Okay,stop,stop.
What are you talking about?What vibe? About me? - Yeah.
- What about me? Look,I don't know.
Artie,man,I hate this.
- Just tell me exactlywhat you're feeling.
- It's nothing.
I mean,I don't know yet.
Look,artie,all I know isI got a really bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.
Well,when you geta really specific feeling,just let me know,will you? You'll be the first.
Okay,look,down here see? - Yeah.
- I'm gonna go down there alone.
Yes.
And I want you guysto go back around that way.
- I think it meets uparound the other side.
- No,no,no,no!Artie!Artie!Artie!No! We shouldn't split up.
Look,if he really is planningan ambush,don't you think it's best thatwe're not all caught up in it? He does have a point.
He has a point.
Artie! Keep your tesla handy.
I'm fine.
Go.
I don't want to tell youanything more about it because I'd prefer not to haveany competition with anybody.
It's all true.
I've seen itwith my own eyes.
A man rose from the ashes to survive the blastof a furnace.
And seeing truly isbelieving.
- Wouldn't you say? - Gentlemen,thank you all so muchfor joining me here today.
Mr.
Pak,how are your ears? A little better? How's your vibe now? - Not good.
- It's nice to see you.
As mr.
Freitag hastold you all - what's he doing? - I don't know.
The priceof this particular item at 20 million,U.
S.
Currency.
Okay,possibilities.
Um,artie knockedmacpherson out and is pretendingto take his place.
Yeah,but they knew him.
They called him "mr.
Nielsen.
" No,macpherson has some kindof mind control over artie.
Well,it's a strange wayto use it.
- Well - okay,pete what if artie's trading in30 years at the warehouse for $20 million? Or oh,snap! Artie is macpherson.
Uh,no.
Ohcome on,you don'tactually believe that,do you? Hold it right there,buddy? Yeah,yeah,stay-stay there untilwe figure this out.
Cut it out,you two.
That's not me.
I'm me.
I'll make an exception.
How are we supposedto know that? Look.
Security cameras.
So? He's setting me up.
He tried to do ita few weeks ago with honjo masamune.
You don't remember? He went after the swordplus he dug up my past.
I was arrested for treason! This time he's gonnamake sure it sticks.
That must be why mrs.
Fredericsounded so strange.
Oh,so what,did he go outand get an artie suit?Huh? How do we know thatyou're not him pretending to be you? The thimble.
You really did readthe whole manual,didn't you? I did.
What--what thimble? Harriet tubman's thimble.
She wore it as she stitchedthe rags of her fellow slaves.
It became imbued with her dreamof a better life.
And it developed propertiesof light refraction,so that people saw an imagedifferent from the image of the personwearing the thimble.
It came in very handyfor the underground railroad during the civil war.
All right,well,let's justgo in and blast him.
No,no,no,no,no,no.
No,he's expecting that.
Well,what's he notexpecting? This--I didn't--no.
No.
There's no way.
Claudia.
Claudia! Leena mrs.
Frederic,this place is my home.
I would never do anythingto hurt any of you,least of all artie.
We know you wouldn'T.
Not on purpose.
What does that mean?Do you think he putsome kind of bug in my brain or something? There are any numberof methods to create sleeper agents.
Apparently macphersonhas amassed quite a collectionof warehouse artifacts.
Then torture me.
You people do that.
You've gotta have some kindof truth serum laying around here somewhere.
Pump me full of it.
Read me! Read my colors.
Tell my fortune.
Whatever it is you do,you can tell,right? Yes,I can.
And I have.
Claudia,I'm sorry,but something is wrong.
Oh,my god.
I'm like the freakin' manchurian candidateor something.
What the hell! Let her go.
For the time being it's bestif she weren't in the warehouse.
- What if she disappears? - She's being watched.
I've never seen herthis upset before.
That's what made jamessuch an excellent agent.
He'd get inside your head,throw you off your game.
Just when you thoughtyou had the upper hand,he'd strike.
twice sold to mr.
Pak.
And when I get confirmation thatthe money is in our account,then the phoenixwill be yours.
Wrong again,arthur.
Remember these? Gentlemen,this next itemis something that we went to a great dealof trouble to acquire.
Edgar allen poe's notebook,and his pen.
Together they give their ownerthe unique ability to make what they writeactually happen.
- What is that? - It's a fire alarm.
- We must get out of here.
- There's no need to panic.
Mr.
Nielsen,I'd rather not be here when the authorities arrive.
Excellent point.
Next time,mr.
Nielsen.
Gentlemen federal agents! Don't bother! I'm sorry you went to all thattrouble getting poe's pen.
I guess you wasted your timeattacking my family.
Okay,pal,time for youto finally get yours.
Just don't kill him.
He's an excellent bodyguard.
I'd hate to lose him.
Wha-who the hell- james macpherson,you're under arrest.
Aren't you adorable? You didn't really think it wasgonna be that easy,did you? Do you rememberour old friend erik? He made those wonderfulimplosion grenades,which I demonstrated for youa few weeks ago.
Before his untimely death,I had him bring back yet another old favorite--the eggshell bomb.
This time with a pinch of promethium.
If the slightest pressurecracks the shell,it results in a smallnuclear reaction.
Small but dazzling.
Carson.
Now,you two dropthose little toys of yours or arthur will losehis footing.
Thank you.
Jaw getting tired,arthur? It won't be long now.
You were a warehouse agent.
What the hell happenedto you? And now I wantto give arthur back the gift he gave me.
But unfortunately,you're going to be tried for your crimes posthumously.
You think? In your soul,you believe as I do.
That's the vibeyou've been feeling.
How do you knowwhat I'm feeling? Because I know you,peter lattimer,better than you know yourself.
I was you.
Shall I tell you the thought that crosses your mindoccasionally? What if these artifactsreally do belong out in the world, instead of being locked upby a gang of autocratic regentswho see the universe through the blindersof their own bureaucracy? Walk out of herewith me now and follow what you knowto be true in your soul.
That's a nice speech.
It sounds even betterwith the fancy accent.
- But it still doesn't coverthe fact that - you are out of your gourd,mcnutty-pants! You put a bombin a man's mouth.
Not really a greatrecruiting tool.
Fair enough.
Well,I'll be sayinggood-bye,then.
You expect us to justlet you walk out of here? No,no,I expect you to die while you're tryingto save arthur.
And I'd say he's gotabout Hey,mac.
Good catch.
So we're never turning him into the government? The government? I don't think so.
He's already proventhat prisons can't hold him.
So then,what happens to him? I mean,we're not going to,you know no,no,no,no.
Although he would happilykill all of us without blinking an eye.
No,we don't operatelike that.
We'll put himin the bronze sector.
Arthur,I'm honored.
Okay,I promiseto read the manual this weekend,but what--what is the bronze sector? Actually,I don't rememberthat being in the manual.
The bronze sector,children,is where the mostdangerous people in history have been,um what's the generous phrase? Preserved.
Yes,preserved.
People whose removalfrom society had to be certain.
They're put in the bronzesector.
Locked for all eternityin warehouse 13? How poetic.
Even a twisted mindcan be an artifact.
Let's go.
Aren't you forgettingsomething? Uh,not that I canthink of.
My blood.
If I remember correctly,my veins will burstupon entry.
I say we give it a try,see what happens.
James what a bittersweet reunion.
You've aged.
Mrs.
Frederic,you haven'T.
You must tell meyour secret.
Perhaps on a warm summer dayover tea.
Perhaps not.
All this timeyou've had them.
How simple.
I wish I'd thought of it.
What are those? Crystalline diamondswith a trace of palladium.
Palladium? It neutralizes the mineralsin his blood.
So he doesn't go kablooey.
Unfortunately.
That is a load off my mind.
Good-bye,james.
Yeah.
Let's go.
So why is the bronze sectornot in the manual? No,no,no,it's far too dangerous for there to bea written record.
If someone were to findthis place,somehow reverse the process-the point is we don't wantthese people out in the world.
So this place is filledwith,like,the worst guys ever,right? Hitler,mussolini,michael vick.
No,no,these aremen and women who would have become hitlersand mussolinis or worse,except we got to them first.
A room filled with evilthat you've never heard of.
Seems so unfair.
No,this is a processthat was first explored in mesopotamia.
- In 1230 b-- uh,50.
Anyway,the bronzing processwas too heavy,and it kind of cracked open-let's just sayit was unsuccessful.
Here,what we do is we flash-freeze the bodiescryogenically,and we preserve themby bronzing.
Unfortunately it's a painless process.
Really?How many timeshave you tried it? It's about as painfulas a sword in the chest.
Touche.
What a beautiful creature.
A farewell gift,arthur? You shouldn't have.
Just ignore the monsterin the cage.
Pete and myka,the stolen artifacts have been loaded in.
Can I get your helpreplacing them? Fine by me.
I'd rather not see this.
Oh,wait,come on.
I want to watch this.
When's the next time somethinglike this is gonna happen? Hopefully never.
Who says you can nevergo home again,eh,arthur? James.
You know,I thought I'd havea lot more to say to you.
Good-bye,james.
Arthur we can still be partners.
Pleading for your life? That's out of characterfor you.
I'm not pleadingfor my life.
I'm pleading for yours.
You know,maybe I shouldgo check on artie.
I'm sure he's fine.
You know what,I'll go check.
I'll be back in a second.
What a waste.
Gonna go downtown with my baby 'cause she looks so- Turn around.
My dear,thank youfor remembering our appointment.
Oh,that is a relief! Wave to arthur so he can enjoythe tape later.
We're clear.
You won't be needing thatanymore.
So was it all worth it? Unfettered accessto warehouse 13? Time will tell.
There's work to be done.
The codes I implanted whenarthur tried to access my site need to be activated.
Go on.
Tempus fugit.
Late,as usual.
How did you--get away from there! Or what? You've had your chance,arthur! So many chances! Go ahead,fire it! You see,there's a way aroundalmost anything partner! No! Artie.
Artie!Artie! Can you hear me? Artie!Get up! Artie.
Artie!Artie!Get up! Pete,hurry! Look out.
James,wait! Proudly Presents
