Mutant X s01e15 Episode Script

Don't waste your time.
She's not interested.
Uh huh.
Maybe she's interested, she just doesn't know it yet.
Damn.
I told you.
Blah blah blah.
Hey, can i get a virgin daiquiri? You got it.
Wooh.
Aren't you the wild and crazy woman tonight.
Hey, i'm taking it easy tonight.
That's a big surprise.
You take it easy every night.
C'mon let's get funky, girl.
You know, just because you think i'm a little conservative doesn't mean that i doesn't mean that, what, you're uptight? You think i'm uptight? Maybe a little.
You could loosen up some.
I am the most easy-going person i know.
Uh huh? Uh huh.
Thanks.
It's taken care of.
The gentleman behind you? Thank you.
Caleb.
Dance with me.
Excuse me.
Can i get one more, please? Thanks.
Never thought i'd meet someone like you in a place like this.
You know, i don't even know your last name.
Mathius.
Caleb mathius.
Feels like i've known you my whole life.
God, that sounds like the biggest come on-line.
No it doesn't.
Not coming from you.
Maybe we should slow down.
Come on, emma.
Just one more kiss? You okay? I think so.
What the hell happened right there? I think he was trying to kill me.
I don't understand it.
Where were you when this was going on? I was sitting at the bar.
It all seemed harmless enough.
I mean, the guy looked completely normal.
He was.
At first, it was just an innocent kiss, but, then something started to happen.
I couldn't breath and i felt like i was suffocating.
And that's when i came around the corner.
It just looked like the guy was sucking the life right out of her.
All right.
Let me see what i can find out about this guy from the database.
What's his name again? Caleb mathius.
Caleb mathius.
Meanwhile, why don't you and jesse go back to the nightclub.
See what you can dig up.
I'm going, too.
No, no.
Wait.
Until we know more about this guy, i'd feel better if you just stayed here.
And i'd feel a lot better going with them.
The last thing i want to do is hang around here playing the poor victim.
Yeah, all right.
Watch her.
We're in the middle of a crisis that desperately needs to be stopped.
Six promising new mutant recruits have been found dead within the past five months.
Any theories, miss fries.
Have you ruled out the possibility these recruits defected to mutant x? Do you mean to tell me, in your expert opinion, that adam is trying to form some kind of new mutant sorority? Course not, mr eckhart.
I'm merely trying to rule out the obvious.
Yes, well, you'll excuse me if i find your investigation god, about as cold as this coffee.
Allow me.
Given the grave circumstances, i do hope your new mutant abilities prove more useful to me than as a human hotplate.
I believe we're dealing with a mutant serial killer.
His victims have been preyed upon, if you will.
He knows what he wants.
So he takes them by surprise.
Alured is a more apt description.
This monster we're looking for isn't wearing a hockey mask or wielding an axe.
He's handsome, charismatic, charming, with the ability to disarm his victim with a gesture.
Your hypotheses are intriguing.
But at this point, i'm much more interested in a result.
I understand.
My investigation has pin-pointed a possible suspect.
I'm confident that the killer is good.
I want an end to this murder spree immediately.
Club's not open.
Yeah, we know.
Just wanted to ask you a few questions, though.
You probably remembers from last night.
We were both here.
You served us.
Hey, we get a lot of traffic.
One of your party boys attacked our friend last night.
He bought me drink? His name is caleb mathius.
Six foot, dark hair, medium build.
Haunting eyes.
Anybody who fits that description? Sorry.
But when you pour drinks for eight hours and get hit on by anything wearing pants, faces start to blur.
I wish i could be more help.
Did you sense anything? She's scared.
Let's take a look around, huh.
Any luck? No.
I just searched the database up and down, and i can't find a caleb mathius anywhere.
It's like he doesn't exist.
Yeah.
Maybe he gave her an alias.
I mean, he clearly exists, right? The question is, what does he want with emma? Wait a minute.
Take a look at this.
I just pulled up a missing persons file.
Yeah.
Six women over the last five months have disappeared in the vicinity of that nightclub.
So it's not an isolated incident.
I don't think so.
They all have the same profile.
All young, attractive women.
Yeah.
We need to get her off the street.
Brennan? I want you and jesse to bring emma back to sanctuary immediately.
Why? What's the rush? It's just not safe for her out there right now.
I don't want to take any chances.
All right.
We're on our way.
What? No re-match? That's him.
Nothing more we can do.
Let's get out of here.
Come on.
Emma.
Let's go.
Mr eckhart, the killer you sought is dead.
Finally putting an end to his rampage.
Yes.
I understand your weapon of choice was a gsa vehicle.
I must admit my methods were a little unorthodox.
But i didn't want to risk losing him.
Were you at least able to retrieve the remains of mr mathius, so we can perform an autopsy? There was a commotion.
Miss fries, in order to truly understand the criminal mind, and to prevent this catastrophe from happening again, it is imperative we have a subject to examine.
Perhaps the next time you decide to do a hit and run, you'll be prudent enough to pick up the body before you run.
Brennan? Jesse? Who's there? Hello, emma.
Aren't you glad to see me? How about one more kiss? Adam! Adam! You've got to do something.
What? He's here.
Who's here? Caleb.
He was standing right here.
It must have been a vision.
But it was so real.
Something happened when he kissed me.
I can't explain it, but it it's like we're connected some how.
Hey, emma.
It's okay.
You're okay now.
No.
I think he's alive.
I think caleb is still out there.
Emma, you saw him die with your own eyes.
So did brennan and jesse.
Look, i don't care.
He's alive.
I feel it.
And if we don't do something, he's going to kill again.
Emma.
What? You think i'm crazy.
No, no one's saying you're crazy you don't have to.
Emma.
Emma, wait.
Keep your eye on her.
Guys, i want you to hack into the county morgue and check out their surveillance records.
The morgue? What for? Emma thinks caleb's still alive.
Are you kidding? The guy's toast.
Adam, she's just a little freaked out, that's all.
I hope you both are right, but we know enough about her psionic powers that we gotta check this out.
Agreed? Yeah.
Why are you following me? Because i'm worried about you.
You're worried that i'm losing my mind and that i'm seeing things.
You know that's not true, emma.
I don't know what's happening to me.
Want to talk about it? Might help.
It's like he's still got some kind of hold on me.
Caleb? Yeah.
I was drawn here for some reason.
Brennan, check this out.
with the body of caleb mathius.
Yeah, so what, he looks pretty dead to me.
Yeah, me too.
But wait'll you see this.
Hey, wait a minute.
That's the chick from the gsa that tried to run me down.
Yeah, it gets worse.
Look who she leaves with.
Oh my god.
Yeah.
This jerk just doesn't want to stay dead.
Sorry.
This was a waste of time.
Not if it puts your mind at ease.
I don't mind looking.
So what about you? You picking up anything? No, i tried.
I'm not getting anything.
Why don't we just head back.
Okay.
I'm going to run to the ladies' first.
Hey, adam, it's emma.
We're on our way back.
Good.
See you here.
Hey, adam.
Emma was right.
Caleb is among the walking dead.
Great.
And now i know why we couldn't locate him in the database.
It's because he's listed as deceased.
So, what? He can revive himself after death? It looks that way.
You mean like a modern day vampire? Yeah.
How's that possible? Well, we know that there are new mutants who can subsist off the absorbed energy of plant life, right? So maybe what we're dealing with is an evolving mutation with a similar ability.
So you mean this guy is feeding on the life force of new mutants? Yeah, like giving them the kiss of death.
Or something like that.
Emma, you ready to go? Emma? Adam.
Something's wrong.
I can't find emma anywhere.
Where are you? The red club.
Emma wanted to come one last time, just to make sure she wasn't crazy.
I left her alone for two minutes.
When i got back all i found was her com-link.
All right, shalimar, i want you to come back to sanctuary immediately.
What about emma? I'm going to send brennan and jesse.
Now don't worry.
They're going to find her.
I want you to come back here asap.
You understand? Yeah.
I'm on my way.
Welcome to my world.
My home.
Morning.
Why are doing this, caleb? I don't have a choice.
I have to, to survive.
What do you want? Sympathy? You filthy parasitic freak.
Well, aren't you the bold one.
Nice try, emma.
But your little mind games won't work on me.
What are you going to do to us? Never ask a question which you don't want answered.
No, don't waste your energy.
The cuffs are titanium reinforced.
Looks like you're screwed.
What about you? As a precautionary measure, eckhart implanted me with a gsa tracking device.
My people should be on their way.
I hope for your sake they show up in time.
Unless we want to put our heads together and work as a team.
We are chained in a cellar in the middle of god knows where.
What'd you have in mind? I'm a psionic.
What about you? Elemental.
I can raise and lower my body temperature.
Really? How low can you go? I'm afraid we lost contact with miss fries at the morgue.
More alarmingly, the body of caleb mathius has mysteriously disappeared.
But where is it? It couldn't have just gotten up and walked out? I'm afraid, sir, that is exactly what has happened.
I had one of our techs retrieve a blood sample from the scene of the accident.
These cells not only appear to be alive, they're actually regenerating.
How is that possible? It's my theory we're dealing with a new mutant who's serial killing rampage is driven not by deviant criminal behaviour but practical necessity.
It's fascinating.
So he actually has the power to survive death.
I want this new mutant captured immediately so we can examine this precious dna.
But, sir, he could be anywhere.
That's where you're wrong, dr.
Harrison.
Call security, get miss fries' tracking codes.
Our global satellite system will be able to pinpoint her exact location.
Let's just pray he has her.
It's useless.
You can do it, pamela.
You just need to lower your body a few more degrees.
I can't.
I'm not strong enough.
I told you.
I'm going to help you.
But i can't do it alone.
I need you to concentrate.
Now close your eyes and focus all your energy on the hand cuffs.
Good.
That's it.
Keep going.
Now.
It worked.
Now try me.
Pamela.
I don't think so.
Eckhart's got this thing about us helping the other side.
Sorry.
You can't just leave me here.
You know what he's going to do to me.
Caleb's alive.
Yeah, i'm afraid so.
He's got her, doesn't he? I want to go get her.
No, no, no.
I don't want to lose you.
It's too dangerous for you out there right now.
You just let jesse and brennan find her.
Yeah, and what if they can't? Look, there's the possibility that he's got her locked away somewhere just as insurance.
What happens if he needs to feed? Well, hopefully, we'll find her before that happens.
Here.
Thank you.
Don't spread it around.
Oh.
Oh! Now that was cool.
Pamela, look out! Pamela! Caleb, no! Pamela's been implanted with a tracking chip.
Her people are looking for her.
If you don't get her out of here now, they're going to find you.
I'm telling you the truth, caleb.
You've got to trust me.
Why are you trying to help me? Because i don't believe that you want to hurt me.
I think you do it to stay alive.
It's your mutation.
But if you don't get her out of here now, they're going to find us.
I already told you.
I don't know anything.
Well that's not going to work for you this time.
Where's caleb? Look, i don't have to answer any of your questions.
Yeah, you do.
You see, he's got someone who means a lot to us.
And we're not just going to walk away.
Look, we know you're scared.
We just want to get our friend back.
What, are you hiding him? I don't know anything.
I'm not responsible.
But you're involved - somehow.
You're a new mutant, aren't you? I have the ability to detect other new mutants.
You've been helping him, haven't you? And feeding him his victims one by one.
Hm.
It's not that simple.
He was going to kill me.
Then tells us where he is.
We can protect you.
You can't.
No one can.
You don't get it, do you? Caleb can't be killed.
He just keeps coming back.
We have a problem.
If caleb can regenerate every time he's killed then we can't stop him.
Not necessarily.
As soon as he regenerates he needs to feed on new mutant life force to recharge his metabolism, right? But what if he's killed again before he has a chance to recharge? Think that can kill him for good? Well, it might be the window we need to shut him down.
Adam.
Yeah, brennan, go ahead.
So it turns out the waitress has been feeding caleb his new mutant victims.
But she won't tell us where he is.
What, she won't tell you because she doesn't know or because she's afraid to? Because she doesn't want to be his next meal.
We're going to head over to her apartment now.
Take a look around.
All right.
Good.
You guys let me know what you come up with.
Shalimar? Okay, emma, i did it.
I got rid of her.
So they're not going to find us.
Good, caleb.
That's great.
Oh, what's the matter? Nothing.
I'm fine.
Your handcuffs.
They're uncomfortable.
No, no.
That's fine.
So you were trying to get away? No, that's that's not it.
Liar! Don't insult me, emma.
I was hoping that you were different.
I thought you understood me.
I do, caleb.
I was just scared.
I didn't know what to do.
How can i trust you, emma? What do you want from me? A kiss.
I'm going to make this real easy for you.
I know you know where caleb has my friend.
Look no, you look.
All i'm asking you to do is what you've done for this creep time and time again.
Tell him you found another one.
Take me to him.
Now.
Emma? Emma.
Emma? Emma.
Emma.
Emma.
Oh god.
I'm so sorry, emma.
It's over.
She's gone.
I won't let you do this to anyone ever again.
You can't stop me.
No one can.
Adam.
Emma's dead.
I didn't make it in time.
She's gone.
Well, wait.
Where's caleb? I killed him.
Shalimar, that's when he regenerates and needs to feed.
So, i want you to listen to me very carefully.
I need you to get out of there now.
Shalimar.
Shalimar? Shalimar! When are you going to learn to stay down? You.
Kiss yourself goodbye.
Your nine lives are up.
She's alive.
Pity she couldn't be more helpful.
I'm afraid the only thing left to tell us is the method by which she died - forensically speaking, of course.
Hopefully, we can discover how the new mutant absorbs the life force of the other new mutants.
What's going on? Well, so much for the autopsy.
Are you sure you should be out partying like this? I'm fine.
Besides, this is exactly what i needed.
How are you two doing? Hey, want to take a hike? You heard him.
Next time.
Yeah, right.
Okay, this is ridiculous, you guys.
I'm fine.
I can handle myself.
Now go out there and have some fun, or please, at least let me.
I mean it.
Go.
Be good.
Yeah, right.
Emma.
So how about it? One more kiss? You can't hurt me any more, caleb.
You're dead.
Hey.
Hey.
Can i buy you a drink? How about a dance? All right.
All right.
And then i'll buy you a drink.
Okay.
