Mutant X s03e02 Episode Script
Wages of Sin
NOTHING ANYWHERE.
HEY, LEXA, YOU SURE YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT YOUR TIP? OF COURSE.
MY CONTACTS TELL ME SOMEONE'S DEVELOPED A NEW GENETICALLY-ENGINEERED WEAPON AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO HOOK IT UP WITH A BUYER TONIGHT.
WELL, MAYBE THEY'RE WRONG.
NEVER.
WELL, IF THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING THEN WHY ARE WE OUT HERE RUNNING THEIR ERRANDS? BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES PAYING THE BILLS FOR MUTANT X, BRENNAN.
IF THE STUFF BEING MOVED TONIGHT IS GENETICALLY-BASED, BRENNAN, IT'S EITHER AN EX-GENOMEX PERSON OR IT'S SOMEBODY OPENING UP THE SAME CAN OF MISERY.
YOU KNOW, I STILL THINK WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME.
YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT HUNTING, BRENNAN.
THIS IS THE BEST PART.
THE ANTICIPATION THE STILLNESS WAITING FOR YOUR PREY TO SHOW ITSELF DAMN MAIL DROP.
PLATE IS 623 LXM.
I'M RUNNING IT.
I'LL COLLECT WHAT HE LEFT.
NO.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
LET'S SEE WHO PICKS IT UP AND WE'LL COLLECT THEM TOO.
CAR IS REGISTERED TO THE WESTLAND CASINO.
CHECK IT OUT.
SOMEONE'S COMING.
DON'T DO ANYTHING UNTIL I TELL YOU.
AND WATCH YOUR BACK.
GET THE SAMPLE.
HOW DANGEROUS IS IT? THAT'S WHAT WE'RE HERE TO FIND OUT.
UGH! THIS HAS GONE BAD.
WE'RE GOING IN.
SCIENTIST ADAM KANE.
WAS A PIONEER OF GENETIC RESEARCH, MANIPULATING DNA TO SAVE HUMAN LIVES.
BUT, IN MANY, THEIR GENES UNEXPECTEDLY MUTATED.
THEY DEVELOPED SUPER-HUMAN ABILITIES.
* * TOGETHER FOUR OF THE MOST POWERFUL FIGHT TO PROTECT A WORLD THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THEY EXIST.
THEY ARE MUTANT X.
THAT'S WHAT WAS IN THE CONTAINER.
IT'S CALLED A PRION.
-WHAT IS IT? SOME KIND OF POISON.
IT'S A MODIFIED PROTEIN MOLECULE.
NOW, THERE IT IS UP AGAINST A NORMAL BODY PROTEIN.
AND THE AMINO ACID SEQUENCE IS THE SAME IN BOTH.
BUT THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL CONFIGURATION IS DIFFERENT.
BASICALLY, THE PRION IS A MIRROR IMAGE OF A NORMAL PROTEIN.
THE NASTY PART IS THAT IT'S ABLE TO CONVERT NORMAL PROTEIN TO ITS OWN SHAPE, MOLECULE BY MOLECULE.
THE BIOLOGICAL EQUIVALENT TO A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN.
YEAH.
AND IT'S BEEN WEAPONIZED.
IT'S DISTRIBUTED IN AN AEROSOL FORM.
NOW, JUST A COUPLE OF OUNCES OF THIS STUFF IN THE WATER SUPPLY WILL KILL HALF A CITY.
YEAH, WHICH IS WHY IT WOULD'VE BEEN NICE IF WE'D TAKEN OUT ONE OF THE PLAYERS.
WE'RE NO CLOSER TO WHOEVER CREATED THIS STUFF THAN WE WERE LAST NIGHT.
YEAH, I BET YOU WOULD'VE DONE BETTER IF YOU WERE THERE.
WELL, I COULDN'T HAVE DONE WORSE.
I MEAN, IF THE BUYER HADN'T DROPPED THIS WE WOULDN'T HAVE ANYTHING ON HIM.
HE DIDN'T DROP IT - WE KNOCKED IT OUT OF HIM.
THE POINT IS WE NEED INFORMATION AND WE NEED IT FAST.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL DIE IF THIS STUFF GETS USED.
WELL, I ASSUME YOU WERE ABLE TO FIND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT THE WESTLAND CASINO? YEAH.
IT'S PRETTY HIGH END.
KRISTEN GREG.
SHE BOUGHT THE CASINO A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO FOR THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.
THINK SHE' S INVOLVED? WELL, NOBODY'S SURE WHERE THE THIRTY MIL CAME FROM.
I THINK SHE'S WORTH LOOKING AT.
WELL, YOU CAN'T ARGUE WITH THAT.
GOT ANY BACKGROUND ON HER? SHE GOT INTO THE GAMBLING CIRCUIT QUITE YOUNG.
SHE DISAPPEARED TO EUROPE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
SHE'S GOT A REPUTATION AS A HARD-CORE RISK-TAKER.
WOW, SOUNDS LIKE MY KIND OF GIRL.
I THINK SHAL AND I SHOULD GO WORK THE CASINO AND CHECK HER OUT.
OKAY.
BE CAREFUL.
HERE.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HACK INTO THEIR DATABASE.
GET ME A ROOM NUMBER FOR THIS.
MEANTIME, I'LL SEE IF OUR KILLER'S UP FOR A VISIT.
LOOKS LIKE A GIRL COULD HAVE FUN IN A PLACE LIKE THIS.
AH, NICE PLACE.
VIDEOLINK IS ACTIVE.
OKAY, LET'S START TO THE RIGHT, SHAL.
GET AS MANY FACES AS YOU CAN.
AH, LET'S KEEP AN EYE ON THAT GUY.
NICE.
OKAY.
KEEP GOING.
WHAT'S THE NEXT TABLE? POKER.
SAY CHEESE.
LOOKS LIKE THAT GUY COULD USE A DRINK, HUH? OKAY, KEEP GOING.
NEXT TABLE.
WHAT ABOUT HIM OVER THERE? GOT HIM.
OKAY, TRY YOUR LUCK AT THE BAR, SHAL.
SCOTCH.
A DOUBLE.
YES, SIR.
THIS GUY COULD BE A HOPEFUL.
LET'S SEE IF I CAN GET AN ID.
KEEP HIM CLOSE FOR A MINUTE.
LUCK NO GOOD? I THINK IT JUST GOT BETTER.
OH, SMOOTH.
OH, SMOOTH - AND WATCH THIS GUY, SHAL.
HIS NAME'S EDUARDO CRUZ.
HE'S CHILEAN.
WORKED WITH PINOCHET.
ACCUSED OF KILLING THOUSANDS OF DISSIDENTS.
OH, BUT HE SKATED THROUGH THE TRIALS.
AH HA, CONNECTIONS TO RIGHT-WING TERRORIST GROUPS, AND THERE'S NOTHING IN HERE ABOUT HIM BEING A GAMBLER, SO MY NAME'S LINDA.
EDUARDO.
I LIKE A STRONG WOMAN.
YOU DON'T KNOW THE HALF OF IT.
SO, I DIDN'T KNOW THIS CASINO EVEN HAD GOLD CHIPS.
FOR VERY SPECIAL CLIENTS.
CARE TO JOIN ME? I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
TRY TO GET SOME MORE FACES, SHAL.
SO FAR I'VE FOUND THREE TERRORISTS WITH EXPERTISE IN BIOLOGICAL WEAPONS IN THAT CASINO.
ARE THEY ALL HERE FOR THE PRION? OH, IT SURE LOOKS THAT WAY.
OH, AND BY THE WAY, ACCORDING TO THE FINGERPRINTS ON THAT KEYCARD WE RETRIEVED, OUR KILLER'S A TERRORIST AS WELL.
HIS NAME'S "THE TIGER".
"THE TIGER".
THAT'S IT? THAT'S IT.
THERE'S NO PHOTOGRAPH IN THE RECORD, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW HIS REAL NAME.
A SET OF PRINTS RETRIEVED FROM A BOMBING IN SPAIN IS ALL THERE IS.
WELL, DO WE HAVE ANY IDEA WHO'S RUNNING THE AUCTION? THE SAME PERSON WHO RUNS THE CASINO.
KRISTEN GREG.
WELL, THEN, I BETTER GET TO KNOW HER BETTER.
CASH THESE IN, PLEASE.
HOUSEKEEPING.
A MAN WHO'S NOT AFRAID TO TAKE A CHANCE.
WELL, YOU CAN'T WIN IF YOU DON'T PLAY.
YOU'RE A LUCKY MAN, MR.
DAWSON.
I HAVE GOOD TIMING.
AND YOU HAVE GOOD INFORMATION.
HOW'D YOU KNOW MY NAME? INFORMATION'S PART OF MY JOB.
AND YOU'RE WORKING RIGHT NOW? WELL, IT COULD BE PERSONAL INTEREST.
WELL, THAT I LIKE THE SOUND OF.
THAT'S A BIG BET.
SMALL STAKES AREN'T WORTH PLAYING.
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE.
YOU JUST WALKED AWAY WITH A LOT OF MY MONEY.
THIS IS YOURS? WELL, MAYBE YOU SHOULD LET ME BUY YOU A DRINK.
THAT'S THE LEAST I CAN DO.
I'M A WORKING GIRL RIGHT NOW.
BUT, I'LL TAKE YOU UP ON THAT LATER.
YOU CAN BET ON IT.
THE PICTURES DON'T REALLY DO ME JUSTICE.
YEAH, YOU'RE A LOT UGLIER IN PERSON.
I THINK I'M GOING TO ENJOY KILLING YOU.
YOU ALREADY MISSED YOUR CHANCE.
HOUSEKEEPING.
NO! UH, NOT RIGHT NOW, THANKS.
OKAY, MA'AM.
FIND OUT WHERE HE WENT? HELL, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW HE GOT AWAY.
NICE WORK.
ONE FOR YOU.
HERE'S A LITTLE SOUVENIR I PICKED UP.
IT'S PRETTY LIGHT.
YEAH, AND IT'S FILLED WITH ELECTRONICS.
SOME KIND OF AN ENCRYPTED DIGITAL ID IS MY GUESS.
YOU KNOW, MY NEW BOYFRIEND HAD ONE OF THESE, TOO.
SAID IT MADE HIM A SPECIAL CLIENT.
SPECIAL CLIENT WITH A CHANCE TO BUY THE PRION WEAPON, HUH? YEAH.
ANYMORE INFORMATION ON KRISTEN GREG? YEAH.
I HAVE A FED FILE ON HER.
LOOKS LIKE MOST OF IT HAS BEEN SANITIZED BY SOMEONE WITH TOP-LEVEL CLEARANCE.
SHE'S CONNECTED TO SOME PRETTY BIG HITTERS, BRENNAN.
GOT SOME EX-GSA AGENTS ON HER PAYROLL, TOO.
OKAY, SO, WHAT NOW? WELL, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DISCREDITING THE SELLER, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE ANY MORE.
HOW? OH, SWITCH THE CANISTER FOR SOMETHING HARMLESS, MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE WHOLE THING WAS A SCAM.
OKAY.
SO ALL WE GOTTA DO NOW IS FIND THE STUFF.
YEAH.
BUT TO DO THAT I'VE GOTTA GET INTO THEIR COMPUTERS.
THE PROBLEM IS THE COMPUTER'S A DISCRETE SYSTEM.
IT'S NOT CONNECTED TO THE OUTSIDE.
BUT IT WILL BE ONCE MY FEISTY FERAL FRIEND HOOKS THIS UP TO THE USB PORT ON ONE OF THEIR COMPUTERS.
NO PROBLEM.
YES? I NEED TO GET TO KRISTEN GREG.
WHY? SHE'S CONNECTED TO DOMINIQUE.
I SEE.
BUT THE SALE OF THE PRION MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO THROUGH.
I HAVE IT COVERED.
YOU'D BETTER.
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR ID IN AN HOUR.
BE CAREFUL, LEXA.
DON'T GET IN OVER YOUR HEAD.
I WAS BORN THERE.
OH, I'M GUESSING YOU LIKE WINNING? OH, WINNING, LOSING, IT'S ALL THE SAME.
AS LONG AS EVERYTHING'S ON THE LINE EVERY MINUTE.
WELL, YOU GOT A LOT TO LOSE HERE.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE GAME SO SWEET.
WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
WELL, THEN YOU AND I ARE A LOT ALIKE.
ARE WE? OR ARE YOU JUST PLAYING ME? I DON'T THINK ANYBODY COULD PLAY YOU.
HEH, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.
YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL.
WELL, THEN THAT'S A GAMBLE YOU'RE JUST GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE.
YOU UP FOR IT? STILL FIGURING MY ODDS.
I DO LIKE THE LOOK OF THE GAME, THOUGH.
SEE YOU LATER, MR.
DAWSON.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? WELL, IT'S PRETTY CLEAR WHAT YOU'RE UP TO.
YEAH.
I'M DOING MY JOB.
I'M TRYING TO STOP THIS WHOLE DEAL FROM GOING THROUGH.
MISSION'S CHANGED.
YOU AND SHALIMAR ARE BACKING OFF.
EXCUSE ME? THERE ARE BIGGER THINGS AT STAKE HERE.
BIGGER THINGS THAN THOUSANDS OF LIVES? WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE WEAPON ANOTHER WAY.
IF WE LET ANY ONE OF THESE GUYS GET THEIR HANDS ON IT WE WILL NEVER FIND IT AGAIN.
WE'LL FIND IT.
IS THIS WHAT YOUR CONTACTS WANT? IT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU WE'RE DOING.
OH, AND I'LL BET YOU'RE USED TO GETTING YOUR WAY, AREN'T YOU? WELL, WHAT WAS THAT FOR? I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY.
NOW YOU WON'T HAVE TO WONDER WHAT IT'D BE LIKE.
AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO THINK IT'LL EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
STAY OUT OF MY WAY, BRENNAN.
SHE'S HERE WITH ME NOW.
THANKS.
OKAY.
YOU ARE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE.
WHAT, EXACTLY, DO YOU WANT WITH ME? I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SELLING.
I WANT IN.
IT'S LATE TO GET IN ON THE GAME.
MY MONEY'S GOOD.
AND AS YOU MAY HAVE JUST LEARNED - UNLIMITED.
YOU MIGHT HAVE JUST SAID THE MAGIC WORD.
HEY, JESS, DID YOU HEAR FROM LEXA? SHE'S TURNED OFF HER COMLINK.
GUESS SHE DOESN'T WANT US TO REACH HER, HUH? SHE TELL YOU WHY? NO.
BUT I THINK SHE MIGHT HAVE SEEN SOMETHING TO CHANGE HER MIND.
WHAT? NOW THERE'S A PICTURE IN THAT FED FILE THERE IT IS.
IT'S A PICTURE OF KRISTEN WITH SOMEONE NAMED DOMINIQUE.
WHO'S DOMINIQUE? I DON'T KNOW.
ALL I GOT IS A PICTURE.
ALL RIGHT, JESSE, GET MORE.
YEAH.
ARE YOU COMING IN? NOT YET.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE SHOULD LET LEXA PLAY OUT HER HAND, SEE WHAT SHE'S UP TO.
NO.
THERE'S TOO MUCH AT STAKE HERE.
YOU KNOW, SHE MIGHT HAVE A GOOD REASON.
I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I HEAR IT.
SO, YOU'RE BORED WITH CLEANING OUT MY ROULETTE TABLES? NO.
I'M BORED WITH WAITING FOR YOU TO FINISH WORK SO I CAN GET YOU ALONE.
YOU'LL FIND THAT I'M ALWAYS WORKING, MR.
DAWSON.
HM.
WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN WORK SOMEWHERE A LITTLE MORE PRIVATE.
DO YOU LIKE CHAMPAGNE? WELL, THIS IS DEFINITELY MORE PRIVATE.
I WAS JUST HOPING FOR SOMETHING MORE COMFORTABLE? WELL, THIS IS A LITTLE MORE LIKE IT.
AS PROMISED WELL WHOO! I'M IN.
WHAT PART OF "STAY OUT OF THIS" DO YOU TWO NOT UNDERSTAND? THE PART WHERE YOU FORGOT TO TELL US WHY.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE.
WELL, TELL US.
YOU HAVE TO LEAVE.
NOW.
SOMEONE'S COMING.
HOLD IT IT'S FRUSTRATING NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE, ISN'T IT? YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE ME AT A DISADVANTAGE.
DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING? I FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW THE GAME WE'RE PLAYING, AND I'M STILL NOT SO SURE.
IT'S A SIMPLE GAME.
MEN AND WOMEN HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT FOREVER.
I THINK IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
YOU WANT SOMETHING.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
I'M SURE I HEARD SOMETHING.
I DIDN'T.
LET'S GO.
GET DOWN! OKAY, LET'S GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
I'LL CALL A CLEAN UP TEAM.
CLEAN UP TEAM? YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
OR YOU DON'T WANT TO TELL ME.
YOU'RE CATCHING ON.
OKAY, I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT.
IT'S JUST THAT WHAT I'M DOING I NEED TO DO IT ALONE, ALL RIGHT? KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.
UH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
I HAVE TO LEAVE YOU FOR A FEW MINUTES.
CAN YOU HOLD THAT THOUGHT 'TIL I GET BACK? AS LONG AS YOU PROMISE TO MAKE IT WORTH MY WHILE.
OH, I WILL.
YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.
HAVE YOU RUN THAT CHECK I ASKED YOU ABOUT? SHAL, YOU COPY? LOUD AND CLEAR.
GOOD.
I'VE GOT THE BUILDING PLANS.
I'M GONNA PUSH THEM TO YOUR DATA SCREEN.
GOT IT.
OKAY.
I'M INTO THEIR SECURITY VIDEO SYSTEM.
FOUND IT.
THE VAULT'S IN THE BASEMENT.
IT'S MARKED 143A ON THE PLAN.
GOT THAT TOO.
ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, I'LL MAKE A DUPLICATE OF THE CYLINDER AND WE'LL MAKE THE SWITCH.
SOUNDS EASY.
OH, IT'S NOT GONNA BE.
THEIR SECURITY SYSTEM IS STATE OF THE ART.
WALLS IN THAT VALUE ARE TOO THICK FOR ME TO PHASE THROUGH.
I'LL GET A COPY OF THE PLANS TO BRENNAN.
WE'LL WORK SOMETHING OUT.
I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK YOU WERE NEVER COMING BACK.
OH, I WOULDN'T MISS THIS FOR THE WORLD.
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING ALONG SO WELL.
WHO ARE YOU? ALLEN DAWSON.
DOESN'T EXIST.
THE TRUTH OR YOU'RE DEAD.
THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT A CUSTOMER.
YOU WOULD'VE DONE WELL TO GAMBLE ELSEWHERE.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS NOT ABOUT GAMBLING.
I'M HERE TO BID ON THE WEAPON.
THEY CALL ME THE TIGER.
WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU? DON'T MOVE.
EASY.
JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
IF YOU WERE THE TIGER, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY SO.
BECAUSE I WAS AMBUSHED WHEN I WENT TO GO PICK UP THE SAMPLE.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD TRUST YOU.
THE QUESTION IS, WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU? YOU'RE A GAMBLER.
TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.
I DON'T GO ON INSTINCT.
LET'S HOPE THIS IS YOUR LAST DECEPTION.
FOR YOUR SAKE.
BIDDING STARTS IN ONE HOUR.
MY OFFICE.
WELL, LEXA'S GUYS ARE GOOD.
THEY'VE ALREADY FED ME THE DNA ANALYSIS OF THAT MUTANT WHO ATTACKED LEXA AND SHALIMAR.
WHY WOULD THEY GIVE US THAT? WHY DO THEY DO ANYTHING? WELL, I'M SURE GLAD THAT THEY DID, THOUGH.
INTERESTING YOU COULD SAY SO.
BRENNAN, THIS GUY'S MUTATION IS SIMILAR TO OURS, BUT BUT IT'S STABLE.
STABLE? HIS GENETIC CODE HAS BEEN FIXED.
THERE'S NO CONTINUING MUTATION.
BRENNAN, THIS GUY COULD LIVE TO SEE HIS GRANDCHILDREN.
WAIT, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
ADAM'S THE ONE WHO INVENTED THE TECHNOLOGY AND EVEN HE COULDN'T STABILIZE THE MUTATION.
YEAH, WELL, SOMEONE DID.
DOMINIQUE? DOMINIQUE.
MAYBE SHE CAN STABILIZE US, TOO.
COULD BE WHY LEXA'S SO HOT TO FIND HER.
OH, MY COVER'S BLOWN.
ALMOST GOT ME KILLED.
WAS THAT YOUR WORK? WELL, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK HERE.
I WARNED YOU.
OH, THANKS A LOT.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU DON'T TRUST ME.
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE ME SOME TIME.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT DOMINIQUE AND MAYBE I WILL.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER? I GUESS WE BOTH HAVE OUR SECRETS.
OH, SORRY, JESS.
LISTEN, WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE TIGER? ALMOST NOTHING.
HE COULD TURN UP THERE ANY TIME.
BRENNAN, IT'S TIME TO GET OUT.
NO.
NO, I'M BETTING HE THINKS KRISTEN SET HIM UP.
THIS IS THE LAST PLACE HE'S GONNA WANT TO BE.
THAT'S TOO BIG A BET.
JESSE'S RIGHT.
YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE.
LISTEN, KRISTEN IS ALREADY SUSPICIOUS.
IF I DISAPPEAR, THEN THE AUCTION STOPS.
THEN WHAT? THEN WE COME UP WITH ANOTHER PLAN.
WHAT? AND RISK LOSING TRACK OF THE WEAPON? NO, I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES.
COME ON, BRENNAN SHAL, LISTEN.
I'LL BE OKAY.
OKAY.
WELL, UH, SECURITY WILL BE ALL TIED UP DURING THE AUCTION.
THAT'S THE TIME TO MAKE OUR MOVE.
OKAY.
I'LL MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T END TOO QUICKLY.
I'M IN.
OKAY, THAT'S GREAT.
OH WHOA! THE FLOOR IS A PRESSURE SENSITIVE SENSOR.
DON'T TOUCH IT.
OOF! OH GREAT! I HAVE FOUR MILLION, SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
SEVEN.
TEN MILLION.
TEN MILLION? I THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.
OKAY, NOW THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS OLD SCHOOL.
IT'S MECHANICAL ALL THE WAY.
WITH YOUR FERAL HEARING, YOU SHOULD BE HEAR THE TUMBLERS FALLING INTO PLACE.
GOT ONE.
GOT ANOTHER ONE.
LOOKS LIKE I WAS MADE FOR THIS.
-GOOD.
OKAY, NOW YOU GOT THE LASER SENSORS TO DEAL WITH.
THE WAVE LENGTH SHOULD BE WITHIN YOUR VISUAL RANGE.
I CAN SEE 'EM.
THIRTEEN, TWO-FIFTY.
THIRTEEN, FIVE.
NOW WHO'S BACKING DOWN? FOURTEEN MILLION.
WHO ARE YOU? THE TIGER IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.
JESSE, WHAT HAPPENED? SOMEONE'S TURNED THE ALARM OFF.
SOMEONE'S COMING.
THERE'S MORE OF THEM.
GET OUT OF THERE.
VERY SLOPPY OF YOU TO LET HIM IN.
I KNEW YOU WERE LYING TO ME.
HE'S LYING.
YOU WILL TELL ME WHO YOU'RE WORKING FOR.
IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE TIME AND BE VERY PAINFUL BUT YOU'LL TALK.
AFTER HE'S TALKED, KILL HIM.
DAMMIT, BRENNAN.
I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS.
CAN WE ARGUE ABOUT THIS LATER? DEAD END! NO, NO, NO.
DEAD END HERE TOO.
I'LL BE VERY UPSET IF WORD OF THIS LEAKS OUT.
WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.
IT'LL BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
THAT'S ALL I GOT.
YOU'RE NOT EIGHTEEN ANY MORE, ARE YOU? MIGHT AS WELL ENJOY THIS.
DO YOU MIND IF I BUY BACK A LITTLE OF THAT WEAPON FROM YOU? OF COURSE.
WELL, THIS IS COZY.
THERE'S THREE OF THEM OUT THERE.
SINCE YOU'VE SHOWN SUCH AN INTEREST IN OUR PRION WEAPON, I'VE ARRANGED A LITTLE DEMONSTRATION.
YOU SWITCHED CONTAINERS, RIGHT? YEAH.
WELL, THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE SHUT UP, JESSE.
WHAT? A LITTLE WHAT? I GOT THE RIGHT ONE.
WE'VE ISOLATED THE VENTILATION TO THE VAULT.
AND NOW, A SMALL WHIFF OF THE WEAPON.
IT'LL DISPERSE IN SECONDS.
GUYS, I'M GOING TO TRY TO REVERSE THE VENTILATION.
TRY TO PUSH THAT STUFF BACK AT THEM.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING.
SHAL SHAL? SHAL.
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
I ASSUME I'VE ADDRESSED YOUR SECURITY CONCERNS? PERFECTLY.
HEY, BOYS.
TOLD YOU I WAS RIGHT.
NEVER DOUBTED YOU.
REALLY.
I'LL TELL YOU WHERE TO SEND THE WEAPON.
DON'T WORRY.
IT'S TO BE DESTROYED.
YOU KNOW, I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF HER.
WELL, SHE SAVED YOUR LIFE.
YES.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
WELL, MAYBE THE WEAPON IS UNSTABLE.
YOU KNOW IT ISN'T.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
I KNOW IT WON'T.
FIND OUT WHATEVER YOU CAN ABOUT WHOEVER STOLE THAT WEAPON.
WE DON'T WANT ANY MORE INTERFERENCE.
AS FOR KRISTEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
SO WHO IS DOMINIQUE? I THINK WE DESERVE TO KNOW.
MAYBE IT'S JUST A MYTH.
BUT THEY SAY SHE HOLDS THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH, THAT SHE CONTROLS AN ARMY OF HALF-HUMAN MONSTROSITIES, THAT SHE GAINED HER KNOWLEDGE FROM A DEMON LOVER.
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S WHAT "THEY" SAY.
WHAT DO YOU SAY? THAT SHE KNOWS MORE ABOUT GENETIC ENGINEERING THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
SO BRENNAN WAS RIGHT.
THIS IS ABOUT FIXING OUR DNA? PROLONGING OUR LIVES? IT'S PART OF IT.
BUT YOU SEE, THERE'S SOMEONE THAT NEEDS HER HELP.
AND I MAY HAVE JUST LOST MY ONLY CHANCE TO GET IT FOR HIM.
WHO? WE CAN HELP.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH DAMAGE YOU'VE ALREADY DONE.
GET OUT OF HERE, JESS.
I'VE GOT WORK TO DO.
HEY, LEXA, YOU SURE YOU'RE RIGHT ABOUT YOUR TIP? OF COURSE.
MY CONTACTS TELL ME SOMEONE'S DEVELOPED A NEW GENETICALLY-ENGINEERED WEAPON AND THEY'RE LOOKING TO HOOK IT UP WITH A BUYER TONIGHT.
WELL, MAYBE THEY'RE WRONG.
NEVER.
WELL, IF THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT EVERYTHING THEN WHY ARE WE OUT HERE RUNNING THEIR ERRANDS? BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES PAYING THE BILLS FOR MUTANT X, BRENNAN.
IF THE STUFF BEING MOVED TONIGHT IS GENETICALLY-BASED, BRENNAN, IT'S EITHER AN EX-GENOMEX PERSON OR IT'S SOMEBODY OPENING UP THE SAME CAN OF MISERY.
YOU KNOW, I STILL THINK WE'RE WASTING OUR TIME.
YOU HAVE A LOT TO LEARN ABOUT HUNTING, BRENNAN.
THIS IS THE BEST PART.
THE ANTICIPATION THE STILLNESS WAITING FOR YOUR PREY TO SHOW ITSELF
PLATE IS 623 LXM.
I'M RUNNING IT.
I'LL COLLECT WHAT HE LEFT.
NO.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
LET'S SEE WHO PICKS IT UP AND WE'LL COLLECT THEM TOO.
CAR IS REGISTERED TO THE WESTLAND CASINO.
CHECK IT OUT.
SOMEONE'S COMING.

THE NASTY PART IS THAT IT'S ABLE TO CONVERT NORMAL PROTEIN TO ITS OWN SHAPE, MOLECULE BY MOLECULE.
THE BIOLOGICAL EQUIVALENT TO A NUCLEAR MELTDOWN.

IT'S DISTRIBUTED IN AN AEROSOL FORM.

GOT ANY BACKGROUND ON HER? SHE GOT INTO THE GAMBLING CIRCUIT QUITE YOUNG.
SHE DISAPPEARED TO EUROPE FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS.
SHE'S GOT A REPUTATION AS A HARD-CORE RISK-TAKER.
WOW, SOUNDS LIKE MY KIND OF GIRL.
I THINK SHAL AND I SHOULD GO WORK THE CASINO AND CHECK HER OUT.
OKAY.
BE CAREFUL.
HERE.
YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO HACK INTO THEIR DATABASE.
GET ME A ROOM NUMBER FOR THIS.

OKAY, SO, WHAT NOW? WELL, WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT DISCREDITING THE SELLER, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO MOVE ANY MORE.
HOW? OH, SWITCH THE CANISTER FOR SOMETHING HARMLESS, MAKE IT LOOK LIKE THE WHOLE THING WAS A SCAM.
OKAY.
SO ALL WE GOTTA DO NOW IS FIND THE STUFF.
YEAH.
BUT TO DO THAT I'VE GOTTA GET INTO THEIR COMPUTERS.
THE PROBLEM IS THE COMPUTER'S A DISCRETE SYSTEM.
IT'S NOT CONNECTED TO THE OUTSIDE.
BUT IT WILL BE ONCE MY FEISTY FERAL FRIEND HOOKS THIS UP TO THE USB PORT ON ONE OF THEIR COMPUTERS.
NO PROBLEM.
YES? I NEED TO GET TO KRISTEN GREG.
WHY? SHE'S CONNECTED TO DOMINIQUE.
I SEE.
BUT THE SALE OF THE PRION MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO THROUGH.
I HAVE IT COVERED.
YOU'D BETTER.
YOU'LL HAVE YOUR ID IN AN HOUR.
BE CAREFUL, LEXA.
DON'T GET IN OVER YOUR HEAD.
I WAS BORN THERE.
OH, I'M GUESSING YOU LIKE WINNING? OH, WINNING, LOSING, IT'S ALL THE SAME.
AS LONG AS EVERYTHING'S ON THE LINE EVERY MINUTE.
WELL, YOU GOT A LOT TO LOSE HERE.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES THE GAME SO SWEET.
WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
WELL, THEN YOU AND I ARE A LOT ALIKE.
ARE WE? OR ARE YOU JUST PLAYING ME? I DON'T THINK ANYBODY COULD PLAY YOU.
HEH, YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.
YOU'RE JUST A LITTLE TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL.
YOU UP FOR IT? STILL FIGURING MY ODDS.
I DO LIKE THE LOOK OF THE GAME, THOUGH.
SEE YOU LATER, MR.
DAWSON.
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE? WELL, IT'S PRETTY CLEAR WHAT YOU'RE UP TO.
YEAH.
I'M DOING MY JOB.
I'M TRYING TO STOP THIS WHOLE DEAL FROM GOING THROUGH.
MISSION'S CHANGED.
YOU AND SHALIMAR ARE BACKING OFF.
EXCUSE ME? THERE ARE BIGGER THINGS AT STAKE HERE.
BIGGER THINGS THAN THOUSANDS OF LIVES? WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THE WEAPON ANOTHER WAY.
IF WE LET ANY ONE OF THESE GUYS GET THEIR HANDS ON IT WE WILL NEVER FIND IT AGAIN.
WE'LL FIND IT.
IS THIS WHAT YOUR CONTACTS WANT? IT'S WHAT I'M TELLING YOU WE'RE DOING.
OH, AND I'LL BET YOU'RE USED TO GETTING YOUR WAY, AREN'T YOU? WELL, WHAT WAS THAT FOR? I JUST WANTED TO GET THAT OUT OF THE WAY.
NOW YOU WON'T HAVE TO WONDER WHAT IT'D BE LIKE.
AND YOU WON'T HAVE TO THINK IT'LL EVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
STAY OUT OF MY WAY, BRENNAN.
SHE'S HERE WITH ME NOW.
THANKS.
OKAY.
YOU ARE WHO YOU SAY YOU ARE.
WHAT, EXACTLY, DO YOU WANT WITH ME? I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SELLING.
I WANT IN.
IT'S LATE TO GET IN ON THE GAME.
MY MONEY'S GOOD.
AND AS YOU MAY HAVE JUST LEARNED - UNLIMITED.
YOU MIGHT HAVE JUST SAID THE MAGIC WORD.
HEY, JESS, DID YOU HEAR FROM LEXA? SHE'S TURNED OFF HER COMLINK.
GUESS SHE DOESN'T WANT US TO REACH HER, HUH? SHE TELL YOU WHY? NO.
BUT I THINK SHE MIGHT HAVE SEEN SOMETHING TO CHANGE HER MIND.
WHAT? NOW THERE'S A PICTURE IN THAT FED FILE THERE IT IS.
IT'S A PICTURE OF KRISTEN WITH SOMEONE NAMED DOMINIQUE.
WHO'S DOMINIQUE? I DON'T KNOW.
ALL I GOT IS A PICTURE.
ALL RIGHT, JESSE, GET MORE.
YEAH.
ARE YOU COMING IN? NOT YET.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE WE SHOULD LET LEXA PLAY OUT HER HAND, SEE WHAT SHE'S UP TO.
NO.
THERE'S TOO MUCH AT STAKE HERE.
YOU KNOW, SHE MIGHT HAVE A GOOD REASON.
I'LL BELIEVE IT WHEN I HEAR IT.
SO, YOU'RE BORED WITH CLEANING OUT MY ROULETTE TABLES? NO.
I'M BORED WITH WAITING FOR YOU TO FINISH WORK SO I CAN GET YOU ALONE.
YOU'LL FIND THAT I'M ALWAYS WORKING, MR.
DAWSON.
HM.
WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN WORK SOMEWHERE A LITTLE MORE PRIVATE.
DO YOU LIKE CHAMPAGNE? WELL, THIS IS DEFINITELY MORE PRIVATE.
I WAS JUST HOPING FOR SOMETHING MORE COMFORTABLE? WELL, THIS IS A LITTLE MORE LIKE IT.
AS PROMISED WELL
WHAT PART OF "STAY OUT OF THIS" DO YOU TWO NOT UNDERSTAND? THE PART WHERE YOU FORGOT TO TELL US WHY.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S AT STAKE HERE.
WELL, TELL US.
YOU HAVE TO LEAVE.
NOW.
SOMEONE'S COMING.
HOLD IT IT'S FRUSTRATING NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE, ISN'T IT? YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE ME AT A DISADVANTAGE.
DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING? I FEEL LIKE YOU KNOW THE GAME WE'RE PLAYING, AND I'M STILL NOT SO SURE.
IT'S A SIMPLE GAME.
MEN AND WOMEN HAVE BEEN PLAYING IT FOREVER.
I THINK IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
YOU WANT SOMETHING.
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
I'M SURE I HEARD SOMETHING.
I DIDN'T.
LET'S GO.
GET DOWN! OKAY, LET'S GET HIM OUT OF HERE.
I'LL CALL A CLEAN UP TEAM.
CLEAN UP TEAM? YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.
OR YOU DON'T WANT TO TELL ME.
YOU'RE CATCHING ON.
OKAY, I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT.
IT'S JUST THAT WHAT I'M DOING I NEED TO DO IT ALONE, ALL RIGHT? KNOCK YOURSELF OUT.
UH THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.
I HAVE TO LEAVE YOU FOR A FEW MINUTES.
CAN YOU HOLD THAT THOUGHT 'TIL I GET BACK? AS LONG AS YOU PROMISE TO MAKE IT WORTH MY WHILE.
OH, I WILL.
YOU CAN COUNT ON IT.
HAVE YOU RUN THAT CHECK I ASKED YOU ABOUT? SHAL, YOU COPY? LOUD AND CLEAR.
GOOD.
I'VE GOT THE BUILDING PLANS.
I'M GONNA PUSH THEM TO YOUR DATA SCREEN.
GOT IT.
OKAY.
I'M INTO THEIR SECURITY VIDEO SYSTEM.
FOUND IT.
THE VAULT'S IN THE BASEMENT.
IT'S MARKED 143A ON THE PLAN.
GOT THAT TOO.
ALL RIGHT.
OKAY, I'LL MAKE A DUPLICATE OF THE CYLINDER AND WE'LL MAKE THE SWITCH.
SOUNDS EASY.
OH, IT'S NOT GONNA BE.
THEIR SECURITY SYSTEM IS STATE OF THE ART.
WALLS IN THAT VALUE ARE TOO THICK FOR ME TO PHASE THROUGH.
I'LL GET A COPY OF THE PLANS TO BRENNAN.
WE'LL WORK SOMETHING OUT.
I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK YOU WERE NEVER COMING BACK.
OH, I WOULDN'T MISS THIS FOR THE WORLD.
JUST WHEN I THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING ALONG SO WELL.
WHO ARE YOU? ALLEN DAWSON.
DOESN'T EXIST.
THE TRUTH OR YOU'RE DEAD.
THIS IS NO WAY TO TREAT A CUSTOMER.
YOU WOULD'VE DONE WELL TO GAMBLE ELSEWHERE.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS NOT ABOUT GAMBLING.
I'M HERE TO BID ON THE WEAPON.
THEY CALL ME THE TIGER.
WHY SHOULD I BELIEVE YOU? DON'T MOVE.
EASY.
JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING.
IF YOU WERE THE TIGER, WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST SAY SO.
BECAUSE I WAS AMBUSHED WHEN I WENT TO GO PICK UP THE SAMPLE.
I DIDN'T KNOW IF I COULD TRUST YOU.
THE QUESTION IS, WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU? YOU'RE A GAMBLER.
TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS.
I DON'T GO ON INSTINCT.
LET'S HOPE THIS IS YOUR LAST DECEPTION.
FOR YOUR SAKE.
BIDDING STARTS IN ONE HOUR.
MY OFFICE.
WELL, LEXA'S GUYS ARE GOOD.
THEY'VE ALREADY FED ME THE DNA ANALYSIS OF THAT MUTANT WHO ATTACKED LEXA AND SHALIMAR.
WHY WOULD THEY GIVE US THAT? WHY DO THEY DO ANYTHING? WELL, I'M SURE GLAD THAT THEY DID, THOUGH.
INTERESTING YOU COULD SAY SO.
BRENNAN, THIS GUY'S MUTATION IS SIMILAR TO OURS, BUT BUT IT'S STABLE.
STABLE? HIS GENETIC CODE HAS BEEN FIXED.
THERE'S NO CONTINUING MUTATION.
BRENNAN, THIS GUY COULD LIVE TO SEE HIS GRANDCHILDREN.
WAIT, THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE.
ADAM'S THE ONE WHO INVENTED THE TECHNOLOGY AND EVEN HE COULDN'T STABILIZE THE MUTATION.
YEAH, WELL, SOMEONE DID.
DOMINIQUE? DOMINIQUE.
MAYBE SHE CAN STABILIZE US, TOO.
COULD BE WHY LEXA'S SO HOT TO FIND HER.
OH, MY COVER'S BLOWN.
ALMOST GOT ME KILLED.
WAS THAT YOUR WORK? WELL, YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME BACK HERE.
I WARNED YOU.
OH, THANKS A LOT.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU DON'T TRUST ME.
BUT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO GIVE ME SOME TIME.
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT DOMINIQUE AND MAYBE I WILL.
HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT HER? I GUESS WE BOTH HAVE OUR SECRETS.
OH, SORRY, JESS.
LISTEN, WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE TIGER? ALMOST NOTHING.
HE COULD TURN UP THERE ANY TIME.
BRENNAN, IT'S TIME TO GET OUT.
NO.
NO, I'M BETTING HE THINKS KRISTEN SET HIM UP.
THIS IS THE LAST PLACE HE'S GONNA WANT TO BE.
THAT'S TOO BIG A BET.
JESSE'S RIGHT.
YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE.
LISTEN, KRISTEN IS ALREADY SUSPICIOUS.
IF I DISAPPEAR, THEN THE AUCTION STOPS.
THEN WHAT? THEN WE COME UP WITH ANOTHER PLAN.
WHAT? AND RISK LOSING TRACK OF THE WEAPON? NO, I'LL TAKE MY CHANCES.
COME ON, BRENNAN SHAL, LISTEN.
I'LL BE OKAY.
OKAY.
WELL, UH, SECURITY WILL BE ALL TIED UP DURING THE AUCTION.
THAT'S THE TIME TO MAKE OUR MOVE.
OKAY.
I'LL MAKE SURE THAT IT DOESN'T END TOO QUICKLY.
I'M IN.
OKAY, THAT'S GREAT.
OH WHOA! THE FLOOR IS A PRESSURE SENSITIVE SENSOR.
DON'T TOUCH IT.
OOF!
SEVEN.
TEN MILLION.
TEN MILLION? I THINK YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.
OKAY, NOW THE LOCKING MECHANISM IS OLD SCHOOL.
IT'S MECHANICAL ALL THE WAY.
WITH YOUR FERAL HEARING, YOU SHOULD BE HEAR THE TUMBLERS FALLING INTO PLACE.
GOT ONE.
GOT ANOTHER ONE.
LOOKS LIKE I WAS MADE FOR THIS.
-GOOD.
OKAY, NOW YOU GOT THE LASER SENSORS TO DEAL WITH.
THE WAVE LENGTH SHOULD BE WITHIN YOUR VISUAL RANGE.
I CAN SEE 'EM.
THIRTEEN, TWO-FIFTY.
THIRTEEN, FIVE.
NOW WHO'S BACKING DOWN?
WHO ARE YOU? THE TIGER IS ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW.
JESSE, WHAT HAPPENED? SOMEONE'S TURNED THE ALARM OFF.
SOMEONE'S COMING.
THERE'S MORE OF THEM.
GET OUT OF THERE.
VERY SLOPPY OF YOU TO LET HIM IN.
I KNEW YOU WERE LYING TO ME.
HE'S LYING.
YOU WILL TELL ME WHO YOU'RE WORKING FOR.
IT MIGHT TAKE A LITTLE TIME AND BE VERY PAINFUL BUT YOU'LL TALK.
AFTER HE'S TALKED, KILL HIM.
DAMMIT, BRENNAN.
I TOLD YOU TO STAY OUT OF THIS.
CAN WE ARGUE ABOUT THIS LATER? DEAD END! NO, NO, NO.
DEAD END HERE TOO.
I'LL BE VERY UPSET IF WORD OF THIS LEAKS OUT.
WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THAT.
IT'LL BE TAKEN CARE OF BEFORE YOU LEAVE.
THAT'S ALL I GOT.
YOU'RE NOT EIGHTEEN ANY MORE, ARE YOU? MIGHT AS WELL ENJOY THIS.
DO YOU MIND IF I BUY BACK A LITTLE OF THAT WEAPON FROM YOU? OF COURSE.
WELL, THIS IS COZY.
THERE'S THREE OF THEM OUT THERE.
SINCE YOU'VE SHOWN SUCH AN INTEREST IN OUR PRION WEAPON, I'VE ARRANGED A LITTLE DEMONSTRATION.
YOU SWITCHED CONTAINERS, RIGHT? YEAH.
WELL, THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN A LITTLE SHUT UP, JESSE.
WHAT? A LITTLE WHAT? I GOT THE RIGHT ONE.
WE'VE ISOLATED THE VENTILATION TO THE VAULT.
AND NOW, A SMALL WHIFF OF THE WEAPON.
IT'LL DISPERSE IN SECONDS.
GUYS, I'M GOING TO TRY TO REVERSE THE VENTILATION.
TRY TO PUSH THAT STUFF BACK AT THEM.
THAT'S A GOOD IDEA.
YEAH, BUT IT'S NOT WORKING.
SHAL SHAL? SHAL.
I ASSUME I'VE ADDRESSED YOUR SECURITY CONCERNS? PERFECTLY.
HEY, BOYS.
TOLD YOU I WAS RIGHT.
NEVER DOUBTED YOU.
REALLY.
I'LL TELL YOU WHERE TO SEND THE WEAPON.
DON'T WORRY.
IT'S TO BE DESTROYED.
YOU KNOW, I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT TO MAKE OF HER.
WELL, SHE SAVED YOUR LIFE.
YES.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
WELL, MAYBE THE WEAPON IS UNSTABLE.
YOU KNOW IT ISN'T.
IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
I KNOW IT WON'T.
FIND OUT WHATEVER YOU CAN ABOUT WHOEVER STOLE THAT WEAPON.
WE DON'T WANT ANY MORE INTERFERENCE.
AS FOR KRISTEN YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
SO WHO IS DOMINIQUE? I THINK WE DESERVE TO KNOW.
MAYBE IT'S JUST A MYTH.
BUT THEY SAY SHE HOLDS THE POWER OF LIFE AND DEATH, THAT SHE CONTROLS AN ARMY OF HALF-HUMAN MONSTROSITIES, THAT SHE GAINED HER KNOWLEDGE FROM A DEMON LOVER.
THAT'S GOOD.
THAT'S WHAT "THEY" SAY.
WHAT DO YOU SAY? THAT SHE KNOWS MORE ABOUT GENETIC ENGINEERING THAN ANYBODY ELSE.
SO BRENNAN WAS RIGHT.
THIS IS ABOUT FIXING OUR DNA? PROLONGING OUR LIVES? IT'S PART OF IT.
BUT YOU SEE, THERE'S SOMEONE THAT NEEDS HER HELP.
AND I MAY HAVE JUST LOST MY ONLY CHANCE TO GET IT FOR HIM.
WHO? WE CAN HELP.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH DAMAGE YOU'VE ALREADY DONE.
GET OUT OF HERE, JESS.
I'VE GOT WORK TO DO.
