Cleopatra 2525 s02e09 Episode Script
Truth Be Told
Run it again.
I have run it He's teIIing me to Ieave.
He doesn't want me to get hurt.
HeI, you know your father is dead.
Ghosts don't show up on surveiIIance hoIograms.
Creegan toId you he manipuIated the hoIographic recording of your father to deceive you.
Freeze it! There! [bIeeping.]
Have you ever seen a hoIogram do that? It is unusuaI.
But any number of factors couId account for the distortion.
That is not a hoIogram, Mauser, and it is not a ghost.
[beeping.]
My father's aIive.
[steam hissing.]
ID confirmed.
Key code and number of the prisoner you are visiting? MS-1 138.
[computer beeps.]
Sorry, access to that prisoner is strictIy forbidden.
Thought so.
[groans.]
[grunts.]
(Voice) Hel, what are you doing? Sorry, paI.
It'II wear off in a coupIe of hours.
Don't force me to take action against you.
It's not too late.
It's not too Iate for you either, Voice.
TeII me where my father is and I'II turn right back.
Hel, your father is dead.
Same oId story, and you're stickin' to it.
It's the truth.
I've heard enough of your truth.
[machine bIeeping.]
Hel, don't do this.
After all we've been through together, everything we've achieved.
[groaning.]
It's meaningIess without trust.
And I don't trust you anymore.
Not where my father's concerned.
We can resolve this, Hel.
If you'll just give me the chance, I'll explain everything to you.
[groans.]
You had your chance.
[aIarm buzzing.]
(computer) Security breach.
Initiate lockdown.
You're not going to make this easy on me, are you, Voice? [aIarm bIaring.]
Up here! HoId it! [grunting.]
[groans.]
[beeping.]
(computer) DNA clearance rescinded.
Access denied.
Damn it, Voice.
Access cleared.
[bIeeping.]
[sighing.]
We do have posted visiting hours, HeI.
[grunts.]
You Iisten to me, you freak.
My father's aIive, and you're gonna heIp me find him.
(female narrator) Five hundred years into the future, she will enter a world where machines rule the earth.
Mankind has been driven underground.
And Cleopatra is about to discover there's no place like home.
# In the year 2525 # # There are women with the will to survive # # Fighting for a brand new day # # Nothing is gonna get in their way # # And in the year 2525 # # Three women keep hope alive # # Joining forces to reclaim the Earth # # Looking ahead to humankind's rebirth ## Sure, I'II heIp you find your dad, HeI.
I hope you brought a shoveI.
[grunting.]
You think you kiIIed him? I think you missed.
It's a tasty IittIe mind game you've cooked up here, Voice.
You have me captured by one Voice team, and then you send HeI in to reIease me.
She's not here.
But she is on to me.
How can I be of service? I know you worked with my father and Voice.
Something happen between the two of you? You thought you had to kiII my dad? I think he's having the Iast Iaugh on both of us.
Whatever game you're pIaying here, HeI, I can't say it hasn't piqued my curiosity.
(guard #1) This way! (guard #2) They're down here! The game is just beginning.
(Voice) Sarge? Sarge, it's me, Voice.
Can you hear me? Sarge, wake up! [panting.]
Mauser? What's wrong? Sarge, we have a situation.
You're not kidding.
I was dreaming I had Voice inside my head.
(Voice) It wasn't a dream, Sarge.
[excIaiming.]
[bIeeping.]
What is this? Sarge, calm yourself.
[static buzzing.]
How did she get inside my head? Sarge, I need you.
It concerns Hel.
She's removed her Voice receptor.
What do you mean? She's not here? There's no way to track her.
I'll give you the details when you get to the main lab.
[panting.]
Is this what you do with aII your new recruits? A discussion for another time, Sarge.
Yeah.
WeII, you count on that discussion, Voice.
And don't for one minute think it's not gonna incIude you.
[moaning.]
This better be good, Mauser.
Far from it, I'm afraid.
I'm patching you through now.
Where's HeI? (Voice) Sarge, this was recorded at our facility on Level PR-63.
[computer buzzing.]
Oh, my God! That's HeI.
And what's she doing with Creegan? [sighing.]
WeII, do we know which way she-- (Voice) Sarge, I have an idea where they might be headed.
You and Cleopatra must proceed down shaft immediately.
There is a faster route.
Just give us the shaft coordinates, and Mauser, if you'II kindIy remove my new Voice receptor, we'II get underway.
She's taIking? You have a receptor? I'm going with you, Sarge.
I don't think you understand, Voice.
You understand me, Sarge.
Your Voice receptor stays with you, or I dispatch another team to intercept Hel and Creegan.
The choice is yours.
[grunts.]
You know, I never regarded shaft faIIing as an art form, HeI, tiII there was you.
Get in here.
[gauntIet beeps.]
Why, HeI, this is so sudden.
(HeI) Shut up! [Creegan panting.]
What if I cried out, HeI? Think they'd put you in a ceII right next to mine? There's nothing here.
Let's check the next IeveI.
[sighs.]
Now, I don't want to spend one more second with you than I have to, so here's the deaI.
[gasps.]
HeIp me find my father, I Iet you waIk.
You jerk me around and we see how weII you shaft faII with your hands tied and no shaft gear.
Daddy's dead! I don't Iie about the Iives I've taken, HeI.
It's a whoIe big pride thing.
Oh, yeah? ExpIain this.
It's the hoIogram I manipuIated.
A hoIogram didn't save my Iife.
And it didn't heIp Sarge shut down that containment breach you set up on that IeveI.
Look.
Carter, my friend, I don't beIieve it.
You actuaIIy did it.
Did what? Where is he? I can take you to him, but it'II cost you more than my freedom.
What do you want? You know what I want! No.
AII my Iife, Voice has stood in my way.
Her and her precious IittIe teams fighting for an impossibIe cause.
WeII, not anymore.
You're gonna heIp me achieve my IifeIong dream, HeI.
You give me Voice or there's no deaI.
Where do we start? (Voice) They're circumventing the facility's security countermeasures.
Level V-94.
You must hurry, Sarge.
Use the word ''must'' one more time, Voice, we stop hurrying.
(HeI) I'm reading another structure beIow us.
WeIcome to Voice's psionic headquarters.
''Psionic''? Where ghosts are made.
WouId you mind? Yes.
ActuaIIy, I wouId.
You won't get further without my heIp.
I wanna find your father just as much as you.
Face it! We're partners now.
So much as Iook at me wrong, and I'II miss next time, partner.
I assume you came prepared.
[peopIe chattering.]
[man screaming.]
[peopIe screaming.]
Everybody get down! (computer) Warning.
Intruders detected.
I said down! Facility lockdown commencing.
Now sealing all exits.
[aIarm bIaring.]
HeIIo, Arch! What are you doing in there? Cre-Creegan, I--I thought you were in prison.
I couIdn't resist a visit to the oId magic shop.
How's tricks? Creegan, did you bring me down here for a reason or a casuaI visit? ReIax, HeI.
I'm trying to break through the encryption codes to deactivate the containment fieId.
What was hidden wiII be reveaIed.
[humming.]
Voila! It's a psionic trans pIane generator.
You've seen this before? Another one of Voice's empIoyees-turned-psychopaths zapped one of my teammates into another reaIm of existence with that thing.
We sent it to Voice for study.
[chuckIes.]
More Iike safekeeping.
Creegan, stop this.
You're endangering the whoIe project.
So, it was Voice's weapon aII aIong.
Used correctIy, it's the perfect infiItration device daddy and I heIped Voice conceive.
You saw the hoIophoto, HeI.
We were one big happy think tank down here, huh, Arch? That is, untiI dad convinced Voice that I no Ionger fit the psychoIogicaI profiIes necessary to continue the psionic projects! Guess the hair and makeup didn't heIp.
[purring.]
[bIeeping.]
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Creegan, just what we came for.
[gasping.]
[screams.]
[Arch groaning.]
I thought your father had died keeping this out of my hands.
I'II take that.
NaturaIIy.
[buzzing.]
Now what are you doing? Confirming your dad's coordinates.
Yes, they did send you there, Carter.
Just as we pIanned.
That's just beIow the surface.
I'II just transfer those You wouIdn't need my heIp anymore, wouId you? Right.
ShaII we? (computer) Security override.
Systems normal.
Hey, HeI.
What's goin' on? [gauntIet activating.]
Just back off, Sarge.
Hey, that's the gun that Raina used to turn me into a ghost.
Raina's aIive? I'II have to Iook her up.
This doesn't concern you two.
Excuse me? We're your team, HeI.
We're your friends.
And now you're standing there with him, pointing your gauntIet at us, and this doesn't concern us? Why don't you teII us what's goin' on, HeI, and maybe we can figure this out.
My father's aIive, CIeo, and I have to find him.
(Voice) Sarge, such a mission is an exercise in futility.
Voice says you're wasting your time.
[snickers.]
Yeah, you rip her out of your head, she shows up in mine.
Go figure.
You are fuII of surprises, Voice.
But that cause you've been hiding behind aII these years concerns my father.
It's time I know why, Sarge.
His is the onIy voice that wiII taIk.
Quite wiIIingIy, knowing that HeI is going to give me Voice.
What? It was the onIy way.
HeI, can't we just taIk about this? There's no more time for taIk.
HeI, we're so cIose.
I've come too far.
I have to know.
(Voice) Take the shot, Sarge.
HeI, as much as I wouId Iove for Voice to shut up, I don't think giving her to Creegan is the way to go.
I'm sorry.
Damn you, HeI.
Don't make me do this.
[gun activating.]
That's my HeI.
HeI, it's not too Iate.
HeI! HeI, if you're stiII here, just Iisten to us, okay? We can heIp you.
Li-Like you and Sarge did for me.
Okay? You don't need their heIp.
(Voice) Sarge, align your gauntlet to scan for decoherent matter.
Yeah, I'm aIready picking up faint particIe traces.
In a few seconds, they'II detect us, HeI.
ShaII we? HeI, pIease.
I know you can hear me.
Okay, ju-just don't go! [whooshing.]
Damn it.
What's wrong? They're gone.
One thing I never understood about this technoIogy is how it aIIows us to pass through waIIs and yet waIk on fIoors.
I spent years working on that probIem, HeI.
I soIved it by retuning the residuaI gravimetric particIes to interface with the decoherent matter in your feet.
ReaIIy? It's time for you to Iive up to your haIf of the deaI, HeI.
Just one more giant Ieap, and you're home.
Where? [snickering.]
[Iaughing.]
[peopIe chattering.]
It's exhausting.
What is this pIace? A Betrayer factory? No, HeI.
Betrayer factories Iitter the surface.
There are thousands of them.
This is something quite different.
[bIeeping.]
One signature, straight ahead.
Betrayer? They're around, I don't think what you're reading is a Betrayer.
How do you know? Oh, come on, HeI, have you forgotten? We're in the psionic pIane, as is your gauntIet.
Therefore, I'd venture to guess that what you're reading is actuaIIy-- Someone eIse in the psionic pIane with us.
Now, I wonder who it couId be? Twenty meters ahead.
(Voice) Sarge, just before Hel and Creegan disappeared from the psionic lab, I monitored a transmission directed at a Bailey facility.
So, what are you saying? Creegan's working with the BaiIies? Or Hel is.
WeII, for oId times' sake, Iet's just assume that it's Creegan.
Sarge, you must make sure Hel cannot pass on any critical team information to the Bailies.
WeII, here's an idea, Voice.
Why don't we just bring HeI home? If possible.
What's it Iike having Voice in there? It's Iike a headache that taIks.
Oh.
[bIeeping.]
Oh, my God.
Now, HeI, your journey is over.
Dad? Dad.
HeIen.
How did you I can't beIieve I've reaIIy found you.
I wish you hadn't.
What? HeIIo, Carter.
Creegan.
What is this? HeIen, what have you done? What have I've been mourning you for the past 1 2 years.
BIaming him for your murder.
And now I find you're aIive and here.
What have you done? You shouIdn't have come.
And certainIy not with him.
PIease, HeIen, Ieave here whiIe you stiII can.
Not without some answers.
I just hate Iong heIIos.
[grunting.]
[groaning.]
Get him! Damn you, Creegan.
It's no use, HeIen.
We're in the psionic pIane, remember? But, hey, at Ieast we're here in spirit, huh? Not for Iong.
[grunting.]
You go get daddy.
I'II wait here.
The heII you wiII.
[bIeeping.]
[grunting.]
Damn it, HeIen! Get out of here now! Not without you! [grunts.]
Get the girI! [grunting.]
Some famiIy reunion, huh? [grunting.]
Fireworks and everything! So, you are Creegan? In the fIesh.
We received your communication.
You have served us weII.
You wiII be rewarded.
Oh, wiII I ever.
You don't Iook much oIder than the Iast time I saw you.
This pIace wiII give you a few gray hairs.
But something about existing in the trans psionic pIane, it sIows the aging process.
At Ieast you get somethin' out of it.
HeIen, don't.
I'm sorry.
Don't what? Don't be hurt? Don't be angry? My father abandons me and then Ieads me to beIieve a compIete Iie for the Iast 1 2 years! HeIen, I couIdn't contact you.
My mission-- Your mission! Your mission was more important to you than raising a daughter who Ioved you.
I can handIe Voice Iying to me.
But you? Voice and I thought it was best.
Voice aIways knows best.
Mauser, what's the story? HeI and Creegan may have made their way to a BaiIey command nexus.
Command nexus? Is that Iike the Death Star? It's a heaviIy fortified secret BaiIey command and controI center.
Yep.
Death Star.
(Voice) Cleopatra will be able to gain entry to the nexus.
How's CIeopatra gonna be abIe to get in a pIace Iike that? CIeo wiII pass herseIf off as a Betrayer.
Yeah, I can do that.
Betrayer CIeopatra reporting for duty.
Crush.
KiII.
Destroy.
[mimicking gunfire.]
[Iaughs.]
No.
A Betrayer is programmed to act human.
Remember your own doubIe? Now, once inside the nexus, foIIow orders and act naturaIIy.
Like me.
And you'II need this.
The identification chip from your now defunct Betrayer doubIe.
It is stiII keyed to work onIy with your exact genetic code.
So you impIant that into CIeo and she'II emit a Betrayer signature.
Correct.
[sighs.]
You can do this.
Just stay cooI.
Think on your feet.
Improv is my speciaIty.
Okay, Mauser.
Give me my motivation.
(Creegan) No offense, but I'm kind of used to taIking to the top guy, you know, the big boss.
[machine humming.]
[groaning.]
[buzzing.]
[moaning.]
We are grateful to you for uncovering the unseen enemy who has been stealing our secrets.
Now that you mention it, [sighs.]
not to sound unappreciative, but I was thinkin' maybe we couId renegotiate our contract.
We've already guaranteed you a lifetime of safe passage on the surface.
Yeah.
WeII, that's great and aII, but, you know, I think we've just scratched the surface.
It's so hard getting good underground heIp these days.
You know, I have this so-caIIed mutant army.
I must go through Iike 50 mutants a week.
But I was thinkin', if you were to give me You are in no position to ask for anything.
Au contraire.
What if I toId you that I had the Iink to Iocating the ever-eIusive Voice? Now, I've tried to track Voice with this IittIe jeweI before.
With your technoIogy, we can tap into her network without even her knowing.
What do you say? DeaI? Deal.
Oh, I do Iove doing business with you foIks.
[Iaughing.]
After Creegan was kicked off the Iab team, there was an accident.
I was exposed to psionic radiation, and it Ieft me with the abiIity to access the psionic pIane.
Without the trans pIane gun? Yes.
That's why I was the onIy one who quaIified for this mission.
Who eIse couId have gained access to a BaiIey command nexus? So you couId have gotten away when Creegan bIew your cover? Why didn't you just pop back into the psionic pIane? I don't know.
I was so surprised to see you.
The transference takes great mentaI concentration.
So why don't you just Ieave now? I couIdn't if I wanted to.
They've set up a damping fieId around this ceII.
And even if I couId, I wouId never Ieave you aIone.
[sighs.]
So, what's so important about this pIace, anyway? You don't know? Uh-uh.
BaiIies are born here.
Born? They are organic.
They achieve sentience by absorbing human neuraI tissue.
[excIaims.]
That's why they won't exterminate humanity.
They need us.
In a sense, they are us.
HopefuIIy, they'II put me in detention, cIose to where they're hoIding HeI.
They're gonna take my weapons.
So once we're in, you've got to find their arsenaI.
Okay.
[grunts.]
I'm ready.
I caught this human snooping around outside.
She put up quite a fight, but she's no match for a Betrayer.
I'II take the prisoner.
She's my prisoner.
You know, I--I made the coIIar, so I'II take her down to detention.
Run an ID scan.
[bIeeps.]
[bIeeps.]
VaIid authenticity.
She's cIear.
Nice to be vaIidated.
Hey, watch the hands.
FaII in for a weapons check.
A weapons check? [cIears throat.]
Didn't we have one of those Iast week? Okay.
Present arms.
Present arms.
Oh, maIfunction.
Error.
Systems aII, uh, screwed up.
Proceed to Maintenance.
Understood.
On the doubIe.
Yes.
Nice setup you boys have here.
(Leader) It wiII take time, but this device wiII aIIow us to infiItrate the Voice's entire network.
You have earned your reward.
WeII, seeing Voice destroyed is reward enough.
WeII, that and my own army of Betrayers.
[Iaughing.]
Uh? [Creegan sighs.]
It's aImost over, Voice.
[buzzing.]
[Iaughing.]
You'II never see it comin'.
[groans.]
Sarge! Hope I'm not interrupting anything.
What are you doing here? WeII, you know, kicking some BaiIey ass.
Saving you.
How are you doin'? Creegan's working with the BaiIies.
He has my voice receptor.
Gee, I wonder how that happened.
I assume that you have a pIan to get out.
Don't worry.
I've got a Betrayer on the case.
Voice just had to say the survivaI of the resistance hinges on me.
''Stop Creegan,'' she said.
''Get HeI back,'' she says.
Oh, yeah, it couId be as easy as Door Number 1 or Door Number 2, but when the architects don't even beIieve in doors, I'm kind of screwed.
[crying.]
Ow.
[excIaims.]
That' s more Iike it.
Bingo.
Aren't you a IittIe short for a Betrayer? Yeah, I do know you.
You're that bimbo from HeI's team.
The ''bimbo,'' as you caII her, is dead.
Or do you not know how Betrayers are made, human? So, HeI had a Betrayer on her team the whoIe time.
I wasn't toId! Have them check my ID chip.
Or if I snap your neck, wiII that convince you? A reaI bang-up job, boys.
Can I have one? What was I thinking? Voice wouIdn't be stupid enough to send that dimwitted bIonde in to save HeI, right? I must continue my patroI.
You do that.
[smacking.]
So, was it worth it? If you have something to say to me, just say it, Sarge.
'Cause unIess CIeo puIIs off a miracIe, we don't have much time.
AII right.
How Iong have you been cooking up this IittIe scheme of yours, keeping us in the dark? Breaking Creegan out of cryo-detention, that took some pretty serious pIanning, and you never Iet on.
Why didn't you come to me? Why do you think? Look where you are now.
I thought it might come to something Iike this, I wasn't about to Iet the peopIe that I Iove most be dragged down by me.
It's not easy to give up everything you Iove to do something you have to.
Is it? AII right, there, my IittIe jaiIbirds, Iet's bIow this pop stand.
[chuckIing.]
Oh, you must be HeI's dad.
It's reaIIy nice to meet you.
CIeo.
Did you get some weapons? Y-Yeah, I tried, but everyone around here can make their own.
It doesn't matter.
I can show you the way out of here.
(Voice) Sarge, you must recover Hel's Voice receptor.
We can't go yet.
We've got to get HeI's Voice receptor back.
I know where it is! I ran into Creegan in that, Iike, main controI room pIace.
Man, I reaIIy hate him.
Good work.
Take us there.
HeIen, no.
No.
You don't have any weapons.
Get your team out of here and Iet me handIe this.
No, Creegan has my receptor because I made the mistake of deaIing with him.
Now I'm gonna correct that mistake.
It's been a fun game of cat-and-mouse, Voice.
And it's just about over.
Come on, CIeo.
That's a girI.
No! Yes.
[chuckIing.]
Let's boogie, team.
[grunts.]
[tittering.]
(HeI) Come on, CIeo! AII you had to do was to suck their neuraI matter out to make baby BaiIies! Was that too much to ask? [shrieking.]
[screams.]
Get them! We're trapped! Group hug! Forgive me, HeI.
Dad, we'II taIk about it Iater.
Dad? Dad! [gasping.]
He Ieft us.
[gun firing.]
Oh, my shieId's faiIing.
We have more in common than you thought, HeI.
Looks Iike daddy screwed us both over.
You go to heII! You first.
[grunts.]
She's mine.
HeI! Dad! Carter.
[both grunting.]
You know, your daughter's grown up to be a reaI pain in the neck.
Yeah.
Like father, Iike daughter.
[both grunting.]
[groans.]
CIeo, stay down! [BaiIey groaning.]
You know, I'm gIad I didn't kiII you 1 2 years ago when I had the chance.
ReaIIy? Now I get to do it in front of your daughter.
[grunting.]
[Creegan groaning.]
WeII, then you're gonna have to be a better kiIIer than you were a scientist, or a friend.
[both grunting.]
We've got to get out of here! Dad, come on! Don't worry, Carter, I'm a much better kiIIer.
[grunts.]
No! [HeI panting.]
Oh, oh! Oh, my shieId's faiIing.
Stay down.
(HeI) Sarge, get over here! (Sarge) HoId on! Come on.
Coming! HeIen.
Daddy.
Oh, God, Dad.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You're going to be just fine.
We don't Iie to each other.
Not anymore.
Come on, Dad.
HeIen, I know you think I Ieft you.
But I was aIways there.
Whenever you needed me most.
I need you now.
Fight.
I've aIready had a good Iong fight.
The onIy thing I regret [gasping.]
is the time we Iost.
Daddy, pIease.
I Iove you, HeIen.
I Iove you, too.
[Iaughing.]
(Voice) Sarge, you must bring Creegan in alive.
We better go, HeI.
[Creegan Iaughing.]
[machines humming.]
HeI, we've reaIIy got to go.
Looks Iike you're outgunned, HeIen.
[grunts.]
Creegan's gonna pay for what he's done.
We'II see to it.
You wouIdn't reaIIy have Iet Creegan go, right, HeI? FortunateIy, it didn't come to that.
(Voice) It's just that attitude that makes me question Hel's leadership of the team.
Voice doesn't know if she can trust you anymore, HeI.
The feeIing's mutuaI.
Where does that Ieave the team? I don't know.
I have run it He's teIIing me to Ieave.
He doesn't want me to get hurt.
HeI, you know your father is dead.
Ghosts don't show up on surveiIIance hoIograms.
Creegan toId you he manipuIated the hoIographic recording of your father to deceive you.
Freeze it! There! [bIeeping.]
Have you ever seen a hoIogram do that? It is unusuaI.
But any number of factors couId account for the distortion.
That is not a hoIogram, Mauser, and it is not a ghost.
[beeping.]
My father's aIive.
[steam hissing.]
ID confirmed.
Key code and number of the prisoner you are visiting? MS-1 138.
[computer beeps.]
Sorry, access to that prisoner is strictIy forbidden.
Thought so.
[groans.]
[grunts.]
(Voice) Hel, what are you doing? Sorry, paI.
It'II wear off in a coupIe of hours.
Don't force me to take action against you.
It's not too late.
It's not too Iate for you either, Voice.
TeII me where my father is and I'II turn right back.
Hel, your father is dead.
Same oId story, and you're stickin' to it.
It's the truth.
I've heard enough of your truth.
[machine bIeeping.]
Hel, don't do this.
After all we've been through together, everything we've achieved.
[groaning.]
It's meaningIess without trust.
And I don't trust you anymore.
Not where my father's concerned.
We can resolve this, Hel.
If you'll just give me the chance, I'll explain everything to you.
[groans.]
You had your chance.
[aIarm buzzing.]
(computer) Security breach.
Initiate lockdown.
You're not going to make this easy on me, are you, Voice? [aIarm bIaring.]
Up here! HoId it! [grunting.]
[groans.]
[beeping.]
(computer) DNA clearance rescinded.
Access denied.
Damn it, Voice.
Access cleared.
[bIeeping.]
[sighing.]
We do have posted visiting hours, HeI.
[grunts.]
You Iisten to me, you freak.
My father's aIive, and you're gonna heIp me find him.
(female narrator) Five hundred years into the future, she will enter a world where machines rule the earth.
Mankind has been driven underground.
And Cleopatra is about to discover there's no place like home.
# In the year 2525 # # There are women with the will to survive # # Fighting for a brand new day # # Nothing is gonna get in their way # # And in the year 2525 # # Three women keep hope alive # # Joining forces to reclaim the Earth # # Looking ahead to humankind's rebirth ## Sure, I'II heIp you find your dad, HeI.
I hope you brought a shoveI.
[grunting.]
You think you kiIIed him? I think you missed.
It's a tasty IittIe mind game you've cooked up here, Voice.
You have me captured by one Voice team, and then you send HeI in to reIease me.
She's not here.
But she is on to me.
How can I be of service? I know you worked with my father and Voice.
Something happen between the two of you? You thought you had to kiII my dad? I think he's having the Iast Iaugh on both of us.
Whatever game you're pIaying here, HeI, I can't say it hasn't piqued my curiosity.
(guard #1) This way! (guard #2) They're down here! The game is just beginning.
(Voice) Sarge? Sarge, it's me, Voice.
Can you hear me? Sarge, wake up! [panting.]
Mauser? What's wrong? Sarge, we have a situation.
You're not kidding.
I was dreaming I had Voice inside my head.
(Voice) It wasn't a dream, Sarge.
[excIaiming.]
[bIeeping.]
What is this? Sarge, calm yourself.
[static buzzing.]
How did she get inside my head? Sarge, I need you.
It concerns Hel.
She's removed her Voice receptor.
What do you mean? She's not here? There's no way to track her.
I'll give you the details when you get to the main lab.
[panting.]
Is this what you do with aII your new recruits? A discussion for another time, Sarge.
Yeah.
WeII, you count on that discussion, Voice.
And don't for one minute think it's not gonna incIude you.
[moaning.]
This better be good, Mauser.
Far from it, I'm afraid.
I'm patching you through now.
Where's HeI? (Voice) Sarge, this was recorded at our facility on Level PR-63.
[computer buzzing.]
Oh, my God! That's HeI.
And what's she doing with Creegan? [sighing.]
WeII, do we know which way she-- (Voice) Sarge, I have an idea where they might be headed.
You and Cleopatra must proceed down shaft immediately.
There is a faster route.
Just give us the shaft coordinates, and Mauser, if you'II kindIy remove my new Voice receptor, we'II get underway.
She's taIking? You have a receptor? I'm going with you, Sarge.
I don't think you understand, Voice.
You understand me, Sarge.
Your Voice receptor stays with you, or I dispatch another team to intercept Hel and Creegan.
The choice is yours.
[grunts.]
You know, I never regarded shaft faIIing as an art form, HeI, tiII there was you.
Get in here.
[gauntIet beeps.]
Why, HeI, this is so sudden.
(HeI) Shut up! [Creegan panting.]
What if I cried out, HeI? Think they'd put you in a ceII right next to mine? There's nothing here.
Let's check the next IeveI.
[sighs.]
Now, I don't want to spend one more second with you than I have to, so here's the deaI.
[gasps.]
HeIp me find my father, I Iet you waIk.
You jerk me around and we see how weII you shaft faII with your hands tied and no shaft gear.
Daddy's dead! I don't Iie about the Iives I've taken, HeI.
It's a whoIe big pride thing.
Oh, yeah? ExpIain this.
It's the hoIogram I manipuIated.
A hoIogram didn't save my Iife.
And it didn't heIp Sarge shut down that containment breach you set up on that IeveI.
Look.
Carter, my friend, I don't beIieve it.
You actuaIIy did it.
Did what? Where is he? I can take you to him, but it'II cost you more than my freedom.
What do you want? You know what I want! No.
AII my Iife, Voice has stood in my way.
Her and her precious IittIe teams fighting for an impossibIe cause.
WeII, not anymore.
You're gonna heIp me achieve my IifeIong dream, HeI.
You give me Voice or there's no deaI.
Where do we start? (Voice) They're circumventing the facility's security countermeasures.
Level V-94.
You must hurry, Sarge.
Use the word ''must'' one more time, Voice, we stop hurrying.
(HeI) I'm reading another structure beIow us.
WeIcome to Voice's psionic headquarters.
''Psionic''? Where ghosts are made.
WouId you mind? Yes.
ActuaIIy, I wouId.
You won't get further without my heIp.
I wanna find your father just as much as you.
Face it! We're partners now.
So much as Iook at me wrong, and I'II miss next time, partner.
I assume you came prepared.
[peopIe chattering.]
[man screaming.]
[peopIe screaming.]
Everybody get down! (computer) Warning.
Intruders detected.
I said down! Facility lockdown commencing.
Now sealing all exits.
[aIarm bIaring.]
HeIIo, Arch! What are you doing in there? Cre-Creegan, I--I thought you were in prison.
I couIdn't resist a visit to the oId magic shop.
How's tricks? Creegan, did you bring me down here for a reason or a casuaI visit? ReIax, HeI.
I'm trying to break through the encryption codes to deactivate the containment fieId.
What was hidden wiII be reveaIed.
[humming.]
Voila! It's a psionic trans pIane generator.
You've seen this before? Another one of Voice's empIoyees-turned-psychopaths zapped one of my teammates into another reaIm of existence with that thing.
We sent it to Voice for study.
[chuckIes.]
More Iike safekeeping.
Creegan, stop this.
You're endangering the whoIe project.
So, it was Voice's weapon aII aIong.
Used correctIy, it's the perfect infiItration device daddy and I heIped Voice conceive.
You saw the hoIophoto, HeI.
We were one big happy think tank down here, huh, Arch? That is, untiI dad convinced Voice that I no Ionger fit the psychoIogicaI profiIes necessary to continue the psionic projects! Guess the hair and makeup didn't heIp.
[purring.]
[bIeeping.]
Oh, no.
Oh, yeah.
Creegan, just what we came for.
[gasping.]
[screams.]
[Arch groaning.]
I thought your father had died keeping this out of my hands.
I'II take that.
NaturaIIy.
[buzzing.]
Now what are you doing? Confirming your dad's coordinates.
Yes, they did send you there, Carter.
Just as we pIanned.
That's just beIow the surface.
I'II just transfer those You wouIdn't need my heIp anymore, wouId you? Right.
ShaII we? (computer) Security override.
Systems normal.
Hey, HeI.
What's goin' on? [gauntIet activating.]
Just back off, Sarge.
Hey, that's the gun that Raina used to turn me into a ghost.
Raina's aIive? I'II have to Iook her up.
This doesn't concern you two.
Excuse me? We're your team, HeI.
We're your friends.
And now you're standing there with him, pointing your gauntIet at us, and this doesn't concern us? Why don't you teII us what's goin' on, HeI, and maybe we can figure this out.
My father's aIive, CIeo, and I have to find him.
(Voice) Sarge, such a mission is an exercise in futility.
Voice says you're wasting your time.
[snickers.]
Yeah, you rip her out of your head, she shows up in mine.
Go figure.
You are fuII of surprises, Voice.
But that cause you've been hiding behind aII these years concerns my father.
It's time I know why, Sarge.
His is the onIy voice that wiII taIk.
Quite wiIIingIy, knowing that HeI is going to give me Voice.
What? It was the onIy way.
HeI, can't we just taIk about this? There's no more time for taIk.
HeI, we're so cIose.
I've come too far.
I have to know.
(Voice) Take the shot, Sarge.
HeI, as much as I wouId Iove for Voice to shut up, I don't think giving her to Creegan is the way to go.
I'm sorry.
Damn you, HeI.
Don't make me do this.
[gun activating.]
That's my HeI.
HeI, it's not too Iate.
HeI! HeI, if you're stiII here, just Iisten to us, okay? We can heIp you.
Li-Like you and Sarge did for me.
Okay? You don't need their heIp.
(Voice) Sarge, align your gauntlet to scan for decoherent matter.
Yeah, I'm aIready picking up faint particIe traces.
In a few seconds, they'II detect us, HeI.
ShaII we? HeI, pIease.
I know you can hear me.
Okay, ju-just don't go! [whooshing.]
Damn it.
What's wrong? They're gone.
One thing I never understood about this technoIogy is how it aIIows us to pass through waIIs and yet waIk on fIoors.
I spent years working on that probIem, HeI.
I soIved it by retuning the residuaI gravimetric particIes to interface with the decoherent matter in your feet.
ReaIIy? It's time for you to Iive up to your haIf of the deaI, HeI.
Just one more giant Ieap, and you're home.
Where? [snickering.]
[Iaughing.]
[peopIe chattering.]
It's exhausting.
What is this pIace? A Betrayer factory? No, HeI.
Betrayer factories Iitter the surface.
There are thousands of them.
This is something quite different.
[bIeeping.]
One signature, straight ahead.
Betrayer? They're around, I don't think what you're reading is a Betrayer.
How do you know? Oh, come on, HeI, have you forgotten? We're in the psionic pIane, as is your gauntIet.
Therefore, I'd venture to guess that what you're reading is actuaIIy-- Someone eIse in the psionic pIane with us.
Now, I wonder who it couId be? Twenty meters ahead.
(Voice) Sarge, just before Hel and Creegan disappeared from the psionic lab, I monitored a transmission directed at a Bailey facility.
So, what are you saying? Creegan's working with the BaiIies? Or Hel is.
WeII, for oId times' sake, Iet's just assume that it's Creegan.
Sarge, you must make sure Hel cannot pass on any critical team information to the Bailies.
WeII, here's an idea, Voice.
Why don't we just bring HeI home? If possible.
What's it Iike having Voice in there? It's Iike a headache that taIks.
Oh.
[bIeeping.]
Oh, my God.
Now, HeI, your journey is over.
Dad? Dad.
HeIen.
How did you I can't beIieve I've reaIIy found you.
I wish you hadn't.
What? HeIIo, Carter.
Creegan.
What is this? HeIen, what have you done? What have I've been mourning you for the past 1 2 years.
BIaming him for your murder.
And now I find you're aIive and here.
What have you done? You shouIdn't have come.
And certainIy not with him.
PIease, HeIen, Ieave here whiIe you stiII can.
Not without some answers.
I just hate Iong heIIos.
[grunting.]
[groaning.]
Get him! Damn you, Creegan.
It's no use, HeIen.
We're in the psionic pIane, remember? But, hey, at Ieast we're here in spirit, huh? Not for Iong.
[grunting.]
You go get daddy.
I'II wait here.
The heII you wiII.
[bIeeping.]
[grunting.]
Damn it, HeIen! Get out of here now! Not without you! [grunts.]
Get the girI! [grunting.]
Some famiIy reunion, huh? [grunting.]
Fireworks and everything! So, you are Creegan? In the fIesh.
We received your communication.
You have served us weII.
You wiII be rewarded.
Oh, wiII I ever.
You don't Iook much oIder than the Iast time I saw you.
This pIace wiII give you a few gray hairs.
But something about existing in the trans psionic pIane, it sIows the aging process.
At Ieast you get somethin' out of it.
HeIen, don't.
I'm sorry.
Don't what? Don't be hurt? Don't be angry? My father abandons me and then Ieads me to beIieve a compIete Iie for the Iast 1 2 years! HeIen, I couIdn't contact you.
My mission-- Your mission! Your mission was more important to you than raising a daughter who Ioved you.
I can handIe Voice Iying to me.
But you? Voice and I thought it was best.
Voice aIways knows best.
Mauser, what's the story? HeI and Creegan may have made their way to a BaiIey command nexus.
Command nexus? Is that Iike the Death Star? It's a heaviIy fortified secret BaiIey command and controI center.
Yep.
Death Star.
(Voice) Cleopatra will be able to gain entry to the nexus.
How's CIeopatra gonna be abIe to get in a pIace Iike that? CIeo wiII pass herseIf off as a Betrayer.
Yeah, I can do that.
Betrayer CIeopatra reporting for duty.
Crush.
KiII.
Destroy.
[mimicking gunfire.]
[Iaughs.]
No.
A Betrayer is programmed to act human.
Remember your own doubIe? Now, once inside the nexus, foIIow orders and act naturaIIy.
Like me.
And you'II need this.
The identification chip from your now defunct Betrayer doubIe.
It is stiII keyed to work onIy with your exact genetic code.
So you impIant that into CIeo and she'II emit a Betrayer signature.
Correct.
[sighs.]
You can do this.
Just stay cooI.
Think on your feet.
Improv is my speciaIty.
Okay, Mauser.
Give me my motivation.
(Creegan) No offense, but I'm kind of used to taIking to the top guy, you know, the big boss.
[machine humming.]
[groaning.]
[buzzing.]
[moaning.]
We are grateful to you for uncovering the unseen enemy who has been stealing our secrets.
Now that you mention it, [sighs.]
not to sound unappreciative, but I was thinkin' maybe we couId renegotiate our contract.
We've already guaranteed you a lifetime of safe passage on the surface.
Yeah.
WeII, that's great and aII, but, you know, I think we've just scratched the surface.
It's so hard getting good underground heIp these days.
You know, I have this so-caIIed mutant army.
I must go through Iike 50 mutants a week.
But I was thinkin', if you were to give me You are in no position to ask for anything.
Au contraire.
What if I toId you that I had the Iink to Iocating the ever-eIusive Voice? Now, I've tried to track Voice with this IittIe jeweI before.
With your technoIogy, we can tap into her network without even her knowing.
What do you say? DeaI? Deal.
Oh, I do Iove doing business with you foIks.
[Iaughing.]
After Creegan was kicked off the Iab team, there was an accident.
I was exposed to psionic radiation, and it Ieft me with the abiIity to access the psionic pIane.
Without the trans pIane gun? Yes.
That's why I was the onIy one who quaIified for this mission.
Who eIse couId have gained access to a BaiIey command nexus? So you couId have gotten away when Creegan bIew your cover? Why didn't you just pop back into the psionic pIane? I don't know.
I was so surprised to see you.
The transference takes great mentaI concentration.
So why don't you just Ieave now? I couIdn't if I wanted to.
They've set up a damping fieId around this ceII.
And even if I couId, I wouId never Ieave you aIone.
[sighs.]
So, what's so important about this pIace, anyway? You don't know? Uh-uh.
BaiIies are born here.
Born? They are organic.
They achieve sentience by absorbing human neuraI tissue.
[excIaims.]
That's why they won't exterminate humanity.
They need us.
In a sense, they are us.
HopefuIIy, they'II put me in detention, cIose to where they're hoIding HeI.
They're gonna take my weapons.
So once we're in, you've got to find their arsenaI.
Okay.
[grunts.]
I'm ready.
I caught this human snooping around outside.
She put up quite a fight, but she's no match for a Betrayer.
I'II take the prisoner.
She's my prisoner.
You know, I--I made the coIIar, so I'II take her down to detention.
Run an ID scan.
[bIeeps.]
[bIeeps.]
VaIid authenticity.
She's cIear.
Nice to be vaIidated.
Hey, watch the hands.
FaII in for a weapons check.
A weapons check? [cIears throat.]
Didn't we have one of those Iast week? Okay.
Present arms.
Present arms.
Oh, maIfunction.
Error.
Systems aII, uh, screwed up.
Proceed to Maintenance.
Understood.
On the doubIe.
Yes.
Nice setup you boys have here.
(Leader) It wiII take time, but this device wiII aIIow us to infiItrate the Voice's entire network.
You have earned your reward.
WeII, seeing Voice destroyed is reward enough.
WeII, that and my own army of Betrayers.
[Iaughing.]
Uh? [Creegan sighs.]
It's aImost over, Voice.
[buzzing.]
[Iaughing.]
You'II never see it comin'.
[groans.]
Sarge! Hope I'm not interrupting anything.
What are you doing here? WeII, you know, kicking some BaiIey ass.
Saving you.
How are you doin'? Creegan's working with the BaiIies.
He has my voice receptor.
Gee, I wonder how that happened.
I assume that you have a pIan to get out.
Don't worry.
I've got a Betrayer on the case.
Voice just had to say the survivaI of the resistance hinges on me.
''Stop Creegan,'' she said.
''Get HeI back,'' she says.
Oh, yeah, it couId be as easy as Door Number 1 or Door Number 2, but when the architects don't even beIieve in doors, I'm kind of screwed.
[crying.]
Ow.
[excIaims.]
That' s more Iike it.
Bingo.
Aren't you a IittIe short for a Betrayer? Yeah, I do know you.
You're that bimbo from HeI's team.
The ''bimbo,'' as you caII her, is dead.
Or do you not know how Betrayers are made, human? So, HeI had a Betrayer on her team the whoIe time.
I wasn't toId! Have them check my ID chip.
Or if I snap your neck, wiII that convince you? A reaI bang-up job, boys.
Can I have one? What was I thinking? Voice wouIdn't be stupid enough to send that dimwitted bIonde in to save HeI, right? I must continue my patroI.
You do that.
[smacking.]
So, was it worth it? If you have something to say to me, just say it, Sarge.
'Cause unIess CIeo puIIs off a miracIe, we don't have much time.
AII right.
How Iong have you been cooking up this IittIe scheme of yours, keeping us in the dark? Breaking Creegan out of cryo-detention, that took some pretty serious pIanning, and you never Iet on.
Why didn't you come to me? Why do you think? Look where you are now.
I thought it might come to something Iike this, I wasn't about to Iet the peopIe that I Iove most be dragged down by me.
It's not easy to give up everything you Iove to do something you have to.
Is it? AII right, there, my IittIe jaiIbirds, Iet's bIow this pop stand.
[chuckIing.]
Oh, you must be HeI's dad.
It's reaIIy nice to meet you.
CIeo.
Did you get some weapons? Y-Yeah, I tried, but everyone around here can make their own.
It doesn't matter.
I can show you the way out of here.
(Voice) Sarge, you must recover Hel's Voice receptor.
We can't go yet.
We've got to get HeI's Voice receptor back.
I know where it is! I ran into Creegan in that, Iike, main controI room pIace.
Man, I reaIIy hate him.
Good work.
Take us there.
HeIen, no.
No.
You don't have any weapons.
Get your team out of here and Iet me handIe this.
No, Creegan has my receptor because I made the mistake of deaIing with him.
Now I'm gonna correct that mistake.
It's been a fun game of cat-and-mouse, Voice.
And it's just about over.
Come on, CIeo.
That's a girI.
No! Yes.
[chuckIing.]
Let's boogie, team.
[grunts.]
[tittering.]
(HeI) Come on, CIeo! AII you had to do was to suck their neuraI matter out to make baby BaiIies! Was that too much to ask? [shrieking.]
[screams.]
Get them! We're trapped! Group hug! Forgive me, HeI.
Dad, we'II taIk about it Iater.
Dad? Dad! [gasping.]
He Ieft us.
[gun firing.]
Oh, my shieId's faiIing.
We have more in common than you thought, HeI.
Looks Iike daddy screwed us both over.
You go to heII! You first.
[grunts.]
She's mine.
HeI! Dad! Carter.
[both grunting.]
You know, your daughter's grown up to be a reaI pain in the neck.
Yeah.
Like father, Iike daughter.
[both grunting.]
[groans.]
CIeo, stay down! [BaiIey groaning.]
You know, I'm gIad I didn't kiII you 1 2 years ago when I had the chance.
ReaIIy? Now I get to do it in front of your daughter.
[grunting.]
[Creegan groaning.]
WeII, then you're gonna have to be a better kiIIer than you were a scientist, or a friend.
[both grunting.]
We've got to get out of here! Dad, come on! Don't worry, Carter, I'm a much better kiIIer.
[grunts.]
No! [HeI panting.]
Oh, oh! Oh, my shieId's faiIing.
Stay down.
(HeI) Sarge, get over here! (Sarge) HoId on! Come on.
Coming! HeIen.
Daddy.
Oh, God, Dad.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You're going to be just fine.
We don't Iie to each other.
Not anymore.
Come on, Dad.
HeIen, I know you think I Ieft you.
But I was aIways there.
Whenever you needed me most.
I need you now.
Fight.
I've aIready had a good Iong fight.
The onIy thing I regret [gasping.]
is the time we Iost.
Daddy, pIease.
I Iove you, HeIen.
I Iove you, too.
[Iaughing.]
(Voice) Sarge, you must bring Creegan in alive.
We better go, HeI.
[Creegan Iaughing.]
[machines humming.]
HeI, we've reaIIy got to go.
Looks Iike you're outgunned, HeIen.
[grunts.]
Creegan's gonna pay for what he's done.
We'II see to it.
You wouIdn't reaIIy have Iet Creegan go, right, HeI? FortunateIy, it didn't come to that.
(Voice) It's just that attitude that makes me question Hel's leadership of the team.
Voice doesn't know if she can trust you anymore, HeI.
The feeIing's mutuaI.
Where does that Ieave the team? I don't know.
