Mutant X s03e05 Episode Script

The Taking of Crows

* * CONSIDER THIS A SAMPLE.
THIS STUFF HASN'T EVEN HIT THE STREET YET.
IS IT AS GOOD THEY SAY? IT'S BETTER.
TRUST ME.
THERE'S MORE WHERE THAT CAME FROM - A LOT MORE.
WE'LL TALK.
HEY, WHAT'S YOUR NAME? THIS IS MY GUEST.
-YEAH.
CIAO, BELLA.
CIAO, MILO.
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN HIDING? YOU LOOK LIKE YOU COULD USE ANOTHER ONE.
YEAH.
THANKS.
I REMEMBER THE NIGHTS WHEN YOU USED TO CLOSE THIS PLACE.
AH, YEAH - THAT'S BEFORE YOU STARTED WATERING DOWN THE DRINKS.
HEY.
CROWD LOOKS PRETTY HOT TONIGHT.
ALWAYS.
SO, WHAT DO YOU DO? I TEND TO PHASE FROM ONE THING TO THE NEXT.
SCUSA UN MOMENTO.
WHAT CAN I DO TO PUT YOU IN THE MOOD? ACTUALLY, I'M LOOKING FOR SOMEONE.
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU MIGHT HAVE SEEN HIM AROUND.
BOYFRIEND? NO, HE'S MY BROTHER.
HIS NAME IS LUKE.
THIS LOOK FAMILIAR? SI, SI.
I HAVE SEEN HIM BEFORE.
IT'S BEEN A WHILE, THOUGH - A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, MAYBE.
HE WAS IN EVERY NIGHT FOR A WEEK AND THEN NEVER CAME BACK.
WELL, HOW WELL, HOW WAS HE? HOW DID HE LOOK? HE LOOKED LIKE HE KNEW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME.
WHAT ABOUT YOU? YOU STILL KNOW HOW TO HAVE A GOOD TIME? NOT LIKE I USED TO.
HERE'S TO GOOD TIMES.
TO GOOD TIMES.
OH, MY GOD.
UGH UGH WHAT DID YOU GIVE HER? WHAT?! NOTHING.
AGH! LEXA 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.
SHE'S BEEN IN AND OUT OF IT THE WHOLE WAY HERE.
GAVE ME THIS ADDRESS.
WANT ME TO ASK FOR DR.
MARCUS.
I'M DR.
MARCUS.
TAKE HER RIGHT INTO THE EXAMINATION ROOM.
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT? THIS IS MY LAB.
SAFE FROM PRYING EYES.
PLEASE BRING HER IN.
THIS IS AN ADVANCED GENETICS LAB.
WE'VE GOT ONE OF THESE IN-- SANCTUARY.
YES, I KNOW.
HOW? ADAM KANE GAVE ME THE MONEY FOR THIS LAB.
I THINK BECAUSE I ACTED AS HIS CONSCIENCE ALL THESE YEARS.
WELL, YOU MUST BE GOOD.
YES - OF GOOD MIND.
JESS, WHAT'S GOING ON? HOW'S SHE DOING? THE DOCTOR'S CHECKING HER OUT, SHAL.
WHAT HAPPENED? UM, I WANTED TO FIND OUT WHERE SHE WAS SNEAKING OUT TO AT NIGHT, SO I FOLLOWED HER DOWN TO A CLUB - CECILUCA.
THE GUY SHE MET UP WITH PUT SOMETHING IN HER DRINK AND ALL OF A SUDDEN SHE JUST SHE WENT POSTAL.
WAS ANYBODY ELSE HURT? NO.
LET'S JUST SAY IT'S A GOOD THING I WAS THERE.
RIGHT NOW, SHE'S STABLE.
DID YOU HEAR THAT? YEAH, THANK GOD.
BUT I WON'T KNOW MORE UNTIL I IDENTIFY THE SUBSTANCE SHE INGESTED.
WELL, MAYBE IT'S TIME I NARROWED THAT DOWN FOR YOU, HUH? HEY, JESSE, WHY DON'T YOU STAY WITH HER? BRENNAN'S GOT IT COVERED.
NO WAY.
DOC, KEEP AN EYE ON HER.
I'LL BE BACK.
ESCA QUI E SCOPI SU QUESTO VETRO.
DIMITRI? DIMITRI TOOK THE REST OF THE NIGHT OFF.
WHO ARE YOU? A FRIEND OF A FRIEND.
HEY! REMEMBER ME? SO HOW IS SHE? YOUR CONCERN IS HITTING ME RIGHT HERE.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT? LOOK WHAT SHE DID TO MY PLACE.
OH, TRUST ME - YOU'RE GOING TO LOOK A LOT WORSE THAN THIS UNLESS YOU TELL US WHAT YOU SLIPPED IN HER DRINK.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
NON STIA A ME! C'E L'HAI TRE SECONDI PER DIRMI CHE COS'ERA.
> ONE TWO-- IT WAS DXL.
WHAT THE HELL IS DXL? YOU MIX IT WITH ALCOHOL.
ONE HIT AND YOU FEEL DELICIOUS.
SHE DIDN'T LOOK SO DELICIOUS.
LOOK, I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE FLIPPED OUT.
WHERE DO WE SCORE THIS DXL? I JUST GOT IT.
IT'S NOT EVEN ON THE MARKET.
I JUST MET THE GUY.
HE GAVE ME SOME SAMPLES, HE TOLD ME TO START SPREADING THE GOOD WORD.
HE SAID THERE WOULD BE A LOT MORE SOON.
NOW HE'S GONE.
I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE.
UGH! I HATE IT WHEN PEOPLE LIE TO ME.
WHERE'D YOU LEARN TO SPEAK ITALIAN? THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME, BRENNAN.
IT'S CALLED DEXFENFLURAMINE.
AN ADULTERATED FORM OF IT, ANYWAY.
IT WAS DEVELOPED IN THE EARLY DAYS OF GENOMEX BY A DR.
SARA STANTON.
SO WHAT THE DRUG DOES IS CREATE A HIGHLY POTENT SYNTHETIC FORM OF SEROTONIN IN THE BODY.
SO, WHAT, GENOMEX WAS IN THE BUSINESS OF EXPERIMENTING WITH BETTER WAYS TO GET HIGH? ACTUALLY, THE PROJECT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ABOUT CONTROLLING MUTANT AGGRESSION, AND THE NARCOTIC EFFECTS ON HUMANS WAS JUST A SIDE EFFECT A HIGHLY ADDICTIVE SIDE EFFECT.
SO THE GOOD DOCTOR HAD A TASTE FOR HER OWN MEDICINE, HUH? STARTED GETTING SLOPPY, MAKING MISTAKES.
SHE EVEN STARTED A RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE OF HER MUTANT SUBJECTS.
BUT THE KICKER CAME WHEN ONE OF HER PATIENTS ACTUALLY DIED UNDER HER CARE.
YEAH, SHE WAS A REAL CUP OF SUNSHINE.
YOU'RE BACK ON YOUR FEET PRETTY QUICK.
SOMETHING TELLS ME YOU WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
SEE, BEFORE ADAM COULD HAVE DR.
SARA ARRESTED HER LAB MYSTERIOUSLY EXPLODED AND SHE VANISHED, UNTIL TWO WEEKS AGO WHEN SHE WAS ARRESTED FOR DRUG TRAFFICKING ACROSS THE BORDER.
DO YOU KNOW WHERE SHE'S BEING HELD? A PLACE CALLED CROWTER'S PRISON.
I'VE GOT MY CONTACTS LINING ME UP FOR THE NEXT PRISON TRANSFER.
WHAT? WHAT, WE'RE DEA NOW? BRENNAN, I COULD'VE KILLED SOMEONE LAST NIGHT.
IF THIS DRUG GOES WIDE, THERE'S NO TELLING HOW MANY INNOCENT LIVES ARE AT STAKE.
AND IS THAT IT? OR ARE YOU JUST LOOKING TO GET YOUR HANDS ON HER FOR REVENGE? WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT I'M GOING IN.
I'M GOING WITH YOU.
THAT'S OKAY.
I'VE GOT IT COVERED.
I WASN'T ASKING.
SEE, THE POINT IS, WE CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN, SO I'M GOING IN WITH YOU.
WAIT LADIES, LISTEN, THIS AIN'T MAYBERRY.
ALL RIGHT? THESE BACKWOODS LOCKUPS? THEY TEND TO BE SOME SERIOUS KICK-ASS PLACES.
DON'T YOU WORRY THEN, BECAUSE I'M GOOD AND READY TO KICK SOME ASS.
I GOT THE RESULTS OF LEXA'S BLOOD WORK BACK.
AND? THE DRUG IS STILL ACTIVE IN HER SYSTEM.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND - HOW'S THAT POSSIBLE? I'M NOT ENTIRELY CERTAIN.
BUT FOR SOME REASON IN MUTANTS, DXL SLOWLY PARALYZES THE NERVOUS CENTERS.
I HOPE THIS IS THE PART WHERE YOU TELL ME IT'S NOT AS BAD AS IT SOUNDS.
SHE'S DYING, JESSE.
TOTAL PARALYSIS IS INEVITABLE.
WELL, THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING WE CAN DO.
WELL, THEORETICALLY.
BUT IN ORDER TO CREATE AN ANTIDOTE, I NEED TO KNOW EXACTLY HOW THE DRUG WAS MODIFIED.
OTHERWISE, IT WOULD TAKE MONTHS.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE THAT LONG.
HOW MUCH TIME DO WE HAVE? SEVENTY-TWO HOURS.
MAYBE LESS.
WELL, AREN'T YOU A COUPLE OF BEAUTY QUEENS.
IT'S TIME FOR THE SWIMSUIT COMPETITION.
STRIP DOWN.
WE'LL START WITH YOU FIRST, KITTEN.
YOU'RE THE ONE WHO WANTED TO COME OUT AND PLAY.
YOU'RE NEXT, PRINCESS.
YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE ME IF I TOLD YOU.
TRY ME.
OKAY.
I SPENT SOME TIME IN A GENETIC LABORATORY WHERE AN EGOMANIACAL FREAK TRIED TO REWIRE MY NERVOUS SYSTEM TO TURN ME INTO A ROBOT KILLER.
I'M WATCHIN' YOU, SWEET PEA.
NOW FINISH GETTING DRESSED.
PEOPLE SAY THEY WANT THE TRUTH, BUT THEY NEVER REALLY MEAN IT, DO THEY? TAKE THEM TO THEIR CELLS.
BRENNAN? YEAH? LEXA'S DYING.
WE'VE GOT TO GET HER OUT OF THAT PRISON.
NOW.
LIKE THAT'S EVEN POSSIBLE.
WHY? WE COULDN'T GET HER TO LEAVE EVEN IF WE WANTED TO.
BRENNAN, SHE NEEDS TO KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING TO HER.
NO, THAT'S A BAD IDEA.
LEXA KNOWS SHE'S DYING, THEN SHE'S GONNA GO AFTER SARA SOMETHING FIERCE.
AND WHY EXACTLY IS THAT A BAD THING? SHE WENT TO GO SEE THE NIGHTCLUB OWNER AFTER WE LEFT LAST NIGHT.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT? HE'S DEAD.
WE NEED TO KEEP LEXA IN THE DARK IF WE HAVE ANY HOPES OF FINDING SARA AND GETTING HER TO PLAY BALL.
OKAY.
OKAY, FINE.
WE TELL SHALIMAR.
WE TELL SHALIMAR AND SHE DOESN'T LET LEXA OUT OF HER SIGHT.
YOU'RE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT HER, AREN'T YOU? OF COURSE.
SHE'S DYING, BRENNAN.
WHAT? AREN'T YOU? YEAH.
IT'S JUST YOU KNOW, I'VE NEVER SEEN YOU ACT THIS WAY BEFORE.
ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T HAVE A THING FOR HER? BRENNAN, TAKE A LITTLE LOOK AROUND YOU.
WE HAVEN'T EXACTLY HAD THE GREATEST TRACK RECORD RECENTLY.
IT'D BE REALLY NICE TO GO JUST A COUPLE OF DAYS WITHOUT ONE OF US DYING.
YOU KNOW? YEAH YOU STILL DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION.
BACK OFF! 'FRAID NOT, LITTLE DARLIN'.
YOU'RE COMIN' WITH ME.
YOU'RE IN FOR A REAL RIDE.
SHUT YOUR FACE, MARTINEZ! LEAVE HER ALONE! YOU AND ME, WE'RE GONNA HAVE A REAL GOOD TIME.
WE HAVE A RUNNER IN SOLITARY! I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE SLIPPED AWAY! WHAT'S SO FUNNY? MAYBE NEXT TIME, ED.
HOW YOU DOIN'? WELL, IT AIN'T MY IDEA OF A WEEKEND IN THE HAMPTONS, BUT THERE SHE IS.
DR.
SARA.
LOOKS LIKE SHE HAD A ROUGH NIGHT.
YEAH, SHE'S PROBABLY BEEN GOING COLD TURKEY SINCE SHE GOT IN THIS DUMP.
WONDER HOW SHE GOT SUCH A SWEET GIG? THINK I'LL FIND OUT.
I'LL GET IT.
OH, I DIDN'T KNOW SHE HAD A LITTLE ASSISTANT.
WELL, NOW YOU DO.
SO BACK OFF.
HUH, IT'S FUNNY, I WAS JUST ABOUT TO TELL YOU THE SAME THING.
HEY! HEY, HEY, HEY! SETTLE.
CHILL OUT.
WE DON'T WANT ANY TROUBLE.
ALL CLEAR OVER HERE.
OKAY, WHY'D YOU DO THAT? A FIGHT'S EXACTLY WHAT I NEED TO OPEN UP MY PROFILE.
OKAY, WELL, TAKE A LOOK AROUND.
I DON'T THINK NOW'S THE TIME.
I'LL FIND ANOTHER WAY TO GET TO HER.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU'VE GOT FIVE MINUTES.
THANKS.
WHAT'S GOING ON? IT'S LEXA.
THE DRUG IS STILL IN HER SYSTEM.
IT'S KILLING HER.
AND SHE'S GOING TO DIE UNLESS WE GET AN ANTIDOTE.
WELL, CAN'T DR.
MARCUS? NO.
THERE'S ONLY ONE PERSON WHO CAN HELP HER.
IT'S DR.
SARA.
JUST PROCEED AS PLANNED.
YOU UNDERSTAND? YEAH.
BUT WE HAVE TO TELL HER.
NO.
IT'LL MAKE MATTERS WORSE.
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO GET TO SARA.
IT'S LEXA'S ONLY CHANCE.
OKAY.
SHALIMAR, KEEP YOUR EYES ON HER.
AND KEEP IN TOUCH.
HOW? I MISS YOU, BABY.
IT'S KEYED INTO BOTH YOURS AND LEXA'S DNA.
I THOUGHT SARA COULD USE A LITTLE INCENTIVE.
BE CAREFUL WITH IT.
IT COULD KILL YOU, TOO.
OKAY.
OKAY.
GOOD LUCK.
THANKS.
ALL RIGHT.
I BROUGHT SHALIMAR UP TO SPEED.
I THINK I FOUND SARA'S PARTNER.
I HACKED INTO THE PRISON'S VISITATION RECORDS.
HECTOR FREIMARK.
HE'S ALSO THE MUTANT THAT SHE WAS HANGING AROUND WITH BACK IN HER GENOMEX DAYS.
WOW.
WHAT? YOU THINK YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO WORK THE COMPUTER? NO, NO.
I'M IMPRESSED.
GO ON.
WELL, I ALSO CROSS-REFERENCED HIM IN THE MUTANT DATABASE - HE'S A MOLECULAR WITH THE ABILITY TO CREATE EXPLOSIONS.
MMM, LIKE THE EXPLOSION AT DR.
SARA'S LAB, HUH? EXACTLY.
HMM.
THE THING THAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND, THOUGH, IS IF THIS DRUG IS AS DEADLY TO MUTANTS AS DR.
MARCUS SAYS IT IS, THEN WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HANGING OUT WITH AN ADDICT WHO CAN CHURN IT OUT BY THE TON? WHERE IS IT? WHERE IS IT? I REALLY NEED IT.
I KNOW.
I COULDN'T RISK BRINGING IT IN HERE.
NOT NOW.
YOU DID SO.
HEY - YOU JUST GOTTA STAY COOL A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
THAT'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH ANY MORE.
I WANT OUT OF HERE.
SARA, I KNOW YOU'RE HURTING, BUT WE ARE SO CLOSE.
NOW I'M OUT THERE TRYING TO TRYING TO RUN A BUSINESS.
NOW, YOU GIVE ME THE FORMULA, I'LL HAVE THE MONEY TO GET YOU OUT OF THIS PLACE.
DON'T GIVE ME THAT.
IF YOU WANTED ME OUT OF THIS PLACE, YOU COULD'VE BLOWN UP HALF THE PRISON BY NOW.
AND THEN WE'D BE THROWING AWAY EVERYTHING WE WORKED FOR.
YOU KNOW THAT.
ALL I KNOW IS THAT I'M REALLY TIRED OF YOUR EXCUSES.
GET ME OUT OF HERE NOW.
I TOLD YOU, I CAN'T.
YOU BETTER.
YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M REALLY STARTING TO WONDER HOW THE COPS KNEW WHERE I WAS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
YOU THINK I HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT? YOU'RE PARANOID.
REALLY? I'M STARTING TO SEE THINGS THE WAY THEY REALLY ARE.
YOU GET ME OUT OF HERE BY TOMORROW MORNING OR I'M GOING TO START MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE DEA.
NOW WHO'S PARANOID? DOCTOR? TELL ME YOU'VE MADE SOME HEADWAY IN THE ANTIDOTE.
I WISH.
BUT WITHOUT KNOWING HOW THE DRUG HAS BEEN MODIFIED, I'M SIMPLY THROWING DARTS.
HOW IS SHE? SO FAR, NO CHANGE.
THE TREMORS WILL GET WORSE.
SOON SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO CONTROL THEM.
I HOPE YOU REALIZE THE EPIDEMIC THIS COULD CAUSE IF DXL GETS OUT.
IT COULD BE THE END OF ALL MUTANTS.
I HADN'T EVEN THOUGHT OF THAT.
I DON'T MEAN TO SOUND HARSH, BUT YOU MIGHT HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT THERE'S SOMETHING GREATER AT STAKE THAN SAVING LEXA.
HEY.
HEY.
LISTEN, I KNOW WHO YOU ARE, AND WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT.
I WANT TO BE A PART OF IT.
OH, YEAH? WHAT CAN YOU DO FOR ME? AH WHERE'D YOU GET THAT? AROUND A FEW CLUBS.
STUFF'S NOT EASY TO COME BY, YOU KNOW.
IT'S GONNA CHANGE IN A COUPLE OF DAYS.
THAT'S WHAT WE HEAR.
LISTEN, MY BUYERS ARE ITCHING TO GET IN ON SOME OF THE ACTION.
THINK YOU CAN HOOK US UP? MMM, YOU NEVER KNOW.
AAGGH! COME ON, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
COME ON.
WELL, SHE'S GOT A HELL OF A WAY TO ASK FOR A RAISE.
MORE LIKE SHE GOT OTHER ORDERS FROM MY BOYFRIEND.
WE'RE IN BUSINESS TOGETHER.
WELL, IT MUST BE A GOOD BUSINESS.
GOOD ENOUGH FOR HIM TO TRY TO DOUBLE HIS PROFIT.
YOU KNOW, IF I WERE YOU, I'D START THINKING ABOUT TAKING ON A NEW PARTNER.
GOT FRIENDS ON THE OUTSIDE WHO ARE DESPERATE TO GET IN.
NO, THAT'S OKAY.
I'LL FIGURE OUT SOMETHING FOR MYSELF.
TAKE A LOOK AROUND, SARA.
I'M THE ONLY FRIEND YOU'VE GOT.
THE ONLY WAY THAT I WOULD CUT YOU OR ANYONE ELSE IN IS IF THEY COULD GET ME ON THE OUTSIDE OF THESE BARS.
YEAH? WHAT IF I COULD ARRANGE THAT? YEAH? AN ESCAPE? BY TOMORROW? NO, FORGET IT.
I'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
ALL RIGHT, SO I TALKED TO SHALIMAR.
SHE FIGURES THE BEST TIME FOR AN ESCAPE IS DURING WORK DETAIL.
IN BROAD DAYLIGHT? YEAH.
THAT WAY ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS DEAL WITH THE GUARDS.
A LOT LESS TO TRY AND CONTROL THAT WAY.
ONLY THE GUARDS.
BRENNAN, GUARDS WITH GUNS.
GUARDS GUARDS WITH GUNS WHO ARE JUST WAITING FOR THEM TO MAKE A MOVE - COME ON.
EVEN WITH LEXA'S ABILITY, THREE GIRLS VANISHING IS GOING TO BE A LITTLE BIT HARD TO MISS.
YEAH.
THAT'S WHY WE'RE GOING IN WITH A TWO-PRONGED APPROACH.
SHALIMAR'S GOING TO CREATE A DIVERSION, GIVE THE GIRLS A CHANCE TO SLIP AWAY, FIND THEIR WAY BACK TO THE HELIX.
AND THEN WHAT ABOUT SHALIMAR? WELL, ONCE THEY FIGURE OUT WHAT'S GOING ON THEY'RE GOING TO GATHER ALL THE INMATES UP, THEY'RE GOING TO SEND THEM BACK TO LOCKUP - THAT'S WHEN WE HAVE AN EASIER CHANCE OF GETTING HER.
IT COULD WORK.
IT WILL WORK.
HOW'D IT GO WITH SARA? THE HARDER I PUSH, THE MORE SHE RUNS AWAY.
OKAY, OPEN THE GATE.
THE GUYS HAVE A WAY TO BREAK US OUT ON WORK DETAIL, BUT WE NEED SARA ON BOARD.
MAYBE IT'S TIME I PUT MY CARDS ON THE TABLE.
LAST CHANCE, SARA.
FOR WHAT? WE'VE GOT A PLAN TO BREAK YOU OUT DURING WORK DETAIL.
YOU NUTS? THEY'LL SHOOT US ON SIGHT.
NOT IF THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE SHOOTING AT.
YOU'RE A MUTANT.
LISTEN TO ME, TAKE A BREATH.
DEEP BREATH.
JUST LET IT PASS.
HERE, SIT DOWN.
WHO SENT YOU? ADAM KANE? HE'S DEAD.
OH, THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR.
HE COMPLETELY RUINED MY CAREER.
YEAH, I MET HIM A FEW TIMES, BUT I KNEW HE COULDN'T BE TRUSTED.
HE ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAVE A HIDDEN AGENDA OF SOME SORT.
YEAH.
THAT'S ADAM.
YEAH.
GENOMEX HAD ME DEVELOP THIS DRUG - TO ELIMINATE MUTANTS, IN CASE IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THEY COULDN'T CONTAIN THEM.
WAIT A MINUTE - ADAM KNEW ABOUT THIS? HE WAS DEEP IN THE COMPANY.
YEAH, HE KNEW.
I ASSUME YOU'RE HERE FOR THE ANTIDOTE.
YOUR TREMORS, THE BLACKOUTS YOU'RE DYING.
WHA? YOU DIDN'T KNOW THAT? WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS HAPPENING TO YOU? YOU'RE LYING.
NO.
I DEVELOPED THE DRUG, SWEETHEART.
I PROMISE YOU, IT'S A MEDICAL CERTAINTY - BY TOMORROW, YOU'LL BE LUCKY IF YOU CAN EVEN DRAW A BREATH.
ARE YOU ASKING YOURSELF IF I CAN HELP? I'LL SAVE YOU THE SUSPENSE: YEAH, I CAN.
WHAT DO YOU WANT? TAKE A WILD GUESS.
LEXA.
ARE YOU THERE? YEAH.
SARA'S ON BOARD.
GOOD.
SO WHEN WERE YOU GUYS PLANNING ON TELLING ME I WAS DYING? GUESS IT KINDA SLIPPED YOUR MIND, HUH? IT'S NOT LIKE THAT, LEXA.
THIS HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT SAVING YOUR LIFE.
WELL, RELAX.
SARA'S GOT AN ANTIDOTE.
THAT'S GREAT.
YEP.
SO, LOOKS LIKE I'M DODGING ONE HELL OF A BULLET.
LOOK, TAKE THIS.
YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IT TOMORROW MORE THAN I AM.
THANKS.
AGHH! LET 'EM PLAY.
HOPE YOU DIDN'T DIRTY YOUR OUTFIT.
THAT'S IT, BITCH.
YOU'RE MINE.
I'M GONNA TEAR YOU UP.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, MARTINEZ? AGHH! MAYBE I SHOULD GO LOOKING FOR HER.
LOOK, IF THERE'S ANY KIND OF A PROBLEM SHE WOULD'VE GIVEN US A HEADS UP.
HOW? WITH THE COMLINK.
SHALIMAR GAVE IT TO HER LAST NIGHT.
ALL RIGHT.
I KNOW YOU'RE NERVOUS, ALRIGHT, BUT EVERYTHING IS GOING ACCORDING TO PLAN.
PLANS, BRENNAN - AGAIN, SHE'S DYING.
YEAH.
I KNOW.
OKAY? WE JUST NEED TO GIVE HER SOME TIME.
TIME IS THE ONE THING SHE DOESN'T HAVE RIGHT NOW, BRENNAN.
IS THAT ALL YOU GOT, MARTINEZ? OH, I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU BY A LONG SHOT.
OKAY, SOMETHING IS WRONG - I CAN FEEL IT.
ALL RIGHT - TRY HER AGAIN.
LEXA, WHAT'S GOING ON? WHERE ARE YOU? THERE'S BEEN AN ESCAPE! GRAB THOSE TWO.
LADIES, FALL IN LINE.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, LET'S MOVE.
LEXA, I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME.
ARE YOU HURT? IT'S OVER, JESS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WHAT'S GOING ON? LET'S JUST SAY THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE OF PLANS.
CHANGE HOW? WE CAN HELP YOU.
WE'RE WAY PAST THAT, DON'T YOU THINK? LEXA, GIVE US YOUR LOCATION, WE'LL COME AND PICK YOU UP.
DON'T SWEAT IT.
I'M NOT YOUR PROBLEM ANY MORE.
LEXA, NO.
YOU GOTTA LISTEN TO ME.
LEXA! DAMMIT! SO MUCH FOR THINGS GOING ACCORDING TO PLANS, HUH? COME ON, JESSE, THERE'S NO WAY WE COULDA PREDICTED THIS.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
BUT THE ONE THING I DO KNOW IS IF WE DON'T FIND HER SOON SHE'S GONNA DIE.
I DON'T GET IT.
WHY WOULD LEXA BLOW US OFF? MAYBE SARA NOTICED THE DXL POISONING HER SYSTEM.
YEAH.
USED THAT TO MANIPULATE HER.
USED THAT TIME BOMB INSIDE OF HER AS A ONE-WAY TICKET OUT OF PRISON.
THIS WOULD NOT BE HAPPENING IF WE'D LEVELLED WITH HER TO BEGIN WITH.
YOU KNOW WHAT, JESS, PLEASE? DON'T GO THERE.
THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY TO FIND LEXA.
HOW? IF SARA'S THE ONE CALLING THE SHOTS RIGHT NOW, THEN THERE'S NO TELLING WHERE THEY'RE AT.
WAIT A MINUTE: IF THE DEAL'S GOING DOWN TODAY, THEN THE DXL LAB HAS GOTTA BE CLOSE.
WHAT DO WE DO? JUST GO KNOCKING DOOR TO DOOR? I MIGHT HAVE A WAY TO NARROW THAT DOWN.
ALL RIGHT, GET ON IT THEN.
I'LL SEE IF I CAN BREAK SHALIMAR OUT OF CROWTERS.
OKAY, CAN YOU COVER THAT ON YOUR OWN? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? WOMEN IN PRISON? MY SPECIALTY.
WHAT A GUY.
DR.
MARCUS, YOU SAID THAT YOU COULDN'T DETERMINE HOW DXL WAS GENETICALLY MODIFIED BECAUSE OF THE PROCESSING PROCEDURE, RIGHT? YES.
OKAY, COULD YOU AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT CHEMICALS ARE USED IN THAT PROCESS? WELL, LITHIUM ALUMINUM HYDRIDE.
BUT I DON'T SEE HOW THAT WOULD HELP.
LITHIUM ALUMINUM HYDRIDE.
THANK YOU.
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FRIENDS? I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THEY'VE SLIPPED THROUGH THE CRACKS OF YOUR SYSTEM.
AGHH! WE SAW YOU TOGETHER.
YOU JUST STARTED THAT FIGHT SO YOU COULD BUY THEM SOME TIME.
I WANT TO TALK TO MY LAWYER.
HONEY, YOU'RE GONNA BE TALKING TO A CORONER PRETTY SOON IF YOU DON'T TELL ME WHERE THEY ARE.
ONE LAST TIME, WHERE ARE THEY? WHY DON'T YOU TRY RYKER'S ISLAND? I HEAR THE FOOD'S BETTER.
UGH! WE'RE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE.
I THINK YOU'LL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE QUALITY OF THE, UH, MATERIAL WE'RE DEALING WITH HERE.
HEY! EASY WITH THAT.
I'LL SAY THIS FOR YOU, KITTEN.
YOU'RE EITHER STUPID OR A GLUTTON FOR PUNISHMENT.
HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU? I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.
WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT.
DIAL IT UP A FEW NOTCHES.
AND DON'T SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU.
I WON'T.
AGH! GUARDS! SOMEBODY HELP ME! GUARDS! LET'S SEE HOW MUCH YOU LIKE IT.
BACK.
AGAINST THE WALL.
YOU OKAY? YEAH.
BRENNAN! WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG? DON'T ASK.
LEXA DITCHED US.
ANY LUCK? YEAH.
I TRACED THE CHEMICAL REQUIRED TO PROCESS DXL.
IT'S CALLED LITHIUM ALUMINUM HYDRIDE.
IT'S QUITE RARE AND HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE.
A LARGE SHIPMENT WAS RECENTLY DELIVERED TO A FARM NOT FAR FROM THE PRISON.
NICE WORK.
LOOKS LIKE OUR DAY'S GETTIN' BETTER AFTER ALL.
OUR DAY AIN'T OVER YET.
I'M SURE HECTOR'S GOT HIS MEN SCOUTING THE PERIMETERS.
WELL, DON'T WORRY.
OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND.
GIVE ME YOUR HAND.
HELP ME.
I DON'T THINK SO.
WE HAD A DEAL.
SO WHAT? I'M SICK OF PEOPLE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ME.
YOU AND HECTOR AND ADAM.
I'M GOING TO WORK FOR MYSELF FOR A CHANGE.
YOU SAY HI TO ADAM WHEN YOU SEE HIM.
WELL, LOOKS LIKE YOU'VE GOT EVERYTHING SEWN UP.
YOU FORGOT ONE LITTLE DETAIL - ME.
SARA GET EVERYBODY OUT.
PUT YOUR GUN DOWN.
PUT IT DOWN, NOW.
GO.
I'VE GOT THIS UNDER CONTROL.
BABY, PUT DOWN THE GUN.
OH, I WOULDN'T DO THAT, HECTOR.
YOU MAKE SO MUCH AS A SPARK, WE'RE ALL GONNA BE TOAST.
LISTEN, BABY, WE'LL PLAY THIS ANY WAY YOU WANT.
YOU'RE IN CHARGE.
SO, WHY DON'T YOU COME OVER HERE, HAVE A LITTLE TASTE AND WE'LL DISCUSS THIS.
LEXA! GET HER OUT OF HERE.
I'M GETTING THE ANTIDOTE.
YOU GOT HER? JESS, GET DOWN! OKAY, WHY NOT? WHERE IS IT? WHERE'S THE ANTIDOTE? JESSE! DON'T! COME ON, SHAL, GET OUT OF HERE.
AGHH! SHE'S NOT BREATHING.
HOLD ON.
COME ON.
NOTHING.
SORRY, JESSE.
NO! COME ON! I GOT A PULSE.
HEY.
-HEY.
HEY.
YOU FEELIN' ANY BETTER? IT'S AMAZING HOW YOU TAKE FOR GRANTED THE LITTLE THINGS, YOU KNOW, LIKE SHOWERING ALONE.
WELL, YOU KNOW, IF YOU, UH, MISS THE COMPANY, THEN YOU WISH.
SO WHAT'S THE WORD? WELL, THE GOOD NEWS IS THE THE ENTIRE SHIPMENT OF DXL WENT UP IN FLAMES.
THE BAD NEWS IS, SO DID THE INVENTOR.
WELL, AT LEAST WE KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO LEXA WON'T HAPPEN TO ANYBODY ELSE.
AMEN TO THAT.
GOOD TO SEE YA.
WELL, IT'S GOOD TO BE SEEN.
I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHY WE CHOSE TO KEEP YOU IN THE DARK AS FAR AS YOUR HEALTH WAS CONCERNED.
YEAH, I FIGURED YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SPEARHEADED THAT DECISION.
IT'S OKAY.
I WOULDA DONE THE SAME THING IN YOUR SHOES.
SO DID DR.
MARCUS GIVE YOU A CLEAN BILL OF HEALTH? NEXT BEST THING: THERE'S NOT A TRACE OF DXL LEFT IN MY SYSTEM.
WELL, YOU HAVE JESS TO THANK FOR THAT ONE.
YEAH, I KNOW.
YOU GUYS KNOW WHERE HE IS? IN THE LAB, I THINK.
THANKS.
HEY, I HEARD THE GOOD NEWS.
THANKS TO YOU.
YOU TOOK QUITE THE RISK.
GOES WITH THE TERRITORY.
FOR YOU, MAYBE.
GUESS I'M WIRED DIFFERENTLY.
I SUPPOSED THAT'S WHY I'VE LEARNED TO KEEP PEOPLE AT AN ARM'S LENGTH.
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A REALLY SAD WAY TO GO THROUGH LIFE.
YEAH, WELL, PERSONAL FEELINGS TEND TO GET IN THE WAY.
IT'S ALL ABOUT SURVIVAL.
IF IT WASN'T FOR PERSONAL FEELINGS, YOU WOULDN'T BE STANDING HERE RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW THAT? YEAH.
WELL, HOW DOES THAT FACTOR INTO YOUR EQUATION? I DON'T KNOW.
GUESS I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE THAT ONE OUT.
YEAH.
