Warehouse 13 s03e08 Episode Script
The 40th Floor
Previously on Warehouse 13 We answer to a higher authority.
These are the Regents.
Regents discuss, and I make the final decision.
Agent Sally Stukowski.
This is Artie Agent Nielsen.
The door knob is gone.
Somebody must've followed us.
Stukowski played us.
Why would she want an artifact? She's a sworn FBI agent.
It's done.
Now we wait.
Since the days of Warehouse 2, the Regents have been its protectors.
Its first field agents, they were responsible for instituting the artifact collection procedures that we carry out to this day.
Over time, as more and more artifacts were amassed, the Regents became not only its governors, but also the keepers of its secrets.
For 2,000 years, their grace, their wisdom, and their sacrifice has ensured the Warehouse's survival and security.
Only now they are the ones that need protecting.
FBI agent Sally Stukowski.
Once we discovered that she's the one who stole the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory doorknob, I began tracking her activities.
Which, in addition to artifact heisting, also includes kidnapping.
And if my calcs are right, murder.
Four Regents have suffered artifact-related deaths in the past year? People whose connection to us is supposed to be secret.
How's Stukowski cracking our code? One of the many mysteries du jour.
You got proof that it's her? Plane tickets, hotel bills, rental cars, all registered to aliases traceable to her.
And now, a fifth Regent, Theodora Stanton, has been reported missing.
Wait, I met her.
You don't think that she Looks like we need to have a little talk with Miss Sally Stukowski.
Boys! What are you doing here in Hotlanta on this glorious day? Oh, you chasing more strangeness? Where's Theodora Stanton? Who's Theodora Stanton? Drop it, Stukowski.
We know you've been stealing artifacts.
And killing Regents.
Killing what now? Come on, boys, we're all on the same side here.
I don't think so, lady.
You're coming with us.
Whoa! All right, Lattimer, no need to be rude.
I am still a lady.
Say it.
Fine.
You were right.
Zapping her should have been plan A.
All right.
Okay! Giving credit where it's due, you did cover your tracks well.
Claudia, can you reassemble her phone? Don't have to.
SIM card.
Well, well, well.
What have we here? Thanks for ruining my perfect retrieval record, Dolly Parton.
Fire in the hole.
And you're not gonna be killing any more Regents with that, so you may as well start Y'all are wasting your time.
What's done is done and done.
What's done? What did you do? Fine.
Don't talk.
Oh, no.
Y'all are gonna beat it out of me with some paper.
Unlike you, we don't torture people to get information.
Put her hand on the parchment.
Sir Henry Morton Stanley's map will tell us exactly where you've been in the last 12 hours.
There.
That's the place.
She's been to that location more than once.
How do you know? Because "X" marks the spot.
You sure this is it? Sir Stanley's map matched up with this address, Whoa.
Yeah.
Even I'm getting a bad vibe.
No way.
This building's closed.
NSA.
You do know what those letters stand for, right? National Security I don't care if you're the Pope.
You're not getting in here.
You know what? I think we're in the wrong building.
Thanks, guys.
I'm really sorry.
Thank you very much.
Uh, Artie, we don't usually get pushed around by rent-a-cops.
Rent-a-cops don't carry Colt.
45s.
You think they're with Stukowski? They would have shot us by now.
No, something's up.
We got to get past them to figure out what.
Claudia? Oh, yeah.
Tesla grenade.
Don't leave home without it.
Artie.
Yeah? Look at this.
That's the Eye of Horus.
That's These guys are What's wrong? Fortieth floor.
Suite 4013.
Who's Diana K.
Snow? Shh! Claudia, Pete, check out that security camera footage.
I want to know exactly what Stukowski was doing here.
Myka, you're with me.
Wait, wait.
What do we do when goons one and two wake up? Improvise.
You got me tied up pretty snug here, Stevie.
I'm not that kind of gal.
Oh, not that you'd care.
You know, Sally, even if I did like girls, I'm pretty sure an hour with you would turn me gay.
Today's going to end very badly for your people.
Really? Well, if it ends badly for us, it ends badly for you.
Aw! Agent Jinks, bless your heart, you can't avoid the iceberg.
The ship you're on is going down.
Lucky for you, there's a lifeboat.
You and I can both be on it.
Now who's wasting their time? These Regents y'all are running around trying to protect, they're not the paragons of virtue you think they are.
And I can prove it.
Can you, Miss Stukowski? Because that is something I would very much like to hear.
Okay, that closet ought to hold those guards for a while.
Any sign of Stukowski on the security footage? Yup.
She's got a playmate.
All right.
Artie, she wasn't alone.
Stukowski has a partner? And they were both here earlier dressed as painters.
Find him.
See what he knows.
And SIM card.
Let's see who Stukowski has on her evil friends and family plan.
Hold, please.
Multiple calls to the same number within the past 48 hours.
Triangulating that number's current location brings us to That's got to be where Stukowski's partner is right now.
I am so glad you're on our team.
Artie, who is Diana K.
Snow? Adwin Kosan.
It's an anagram.
That's all right, Mr.
Jackson, they are Warehouse agents.
Mr.
Kosan, forgive the intrusion, but we have reason to believe your life may be in danger.
That's highly unlikely, Agent Nielsen, no one knows we're here.
We? "We" who? Three Regents in one place.
Yeah, three birds with one stone.
You all need to come with us right now.
I imagine you two are the reason my men downstairs aren't responding.
Possibly.
You are Going to be a problem.
Mr.
Jackson is the head of Regent Security.
This is Philip Petrov from Moscow, and this is Jane.
You were about to explain the reason for this intrusion.
Sally Stukowski, this is the woman who has been picking off your fellow Regents, was in this building earlier today with an accomplice.
Now we have her in custody.
Thank you.
Might have started with that.
Sirs, ma'am, this location's been compromised.
We need to go now.
Oh, what a good idea.
Last time someone targeted the Regents was 1812.
Napoleon tried to wrest control of Warehouse 11 from Czar Alexander I.
Precautions had to be taken.
Miller? Stentz? Do you copy? Why didn't you bring more men? The Regents do not travel with an army.
We are not the President, Agent Bering.
We meet rarely, and when we do, we do so quietly.
We never meet in the same place twice.
This location was chosen only three hours ago.
Then how did Stukowski find you? She's obviously more resourceful than you realized.
Wait, no, the The stairs are safer.
Elevator's faster.
will take way too long.
Yes, but With all due respect, Agent Bering, we had this building secure until your team showed up.
What is happening? The automatic brakes engaged.
That only happens in case of emergency.
What is that noise? Give me a boost.
That's why you don't take the elevator.
What do you see up there? The cables are gone.
There's a corrosive energy eating away at the emergency brakes.
We don't have much time.
Artie, did you bring the grappler? Of course.
That's not standard Warehouse issue.
It was in 1890.
Okay.
Tie it up.
Open the doors.
All right, hurry up! Out! Quick! Go! Go! Go! Oh! Go now! Are you all right? Stukowski's got another artifact.
Well, Irene Frederic herself.
I am honored.
Drop it, Sally.
You're from Connecticut.
Wow.
Pretty good.
That's right, boy wonder, even the human lie detector can't hear a phony accent.
So, what, I'm supposed to be scared? Fear is a powerful motivator, Miss Stukowski, but we both know what really motivates people is pain.
All those people you tortured and killed were more than just Regents.
They were my friends.
Those friends are the ones that started this, lady.
Started what? What did you do? You'll see soon enough.
We're terribly sorry to be losing such a valued customer, Mr.
Aquino.
Isn't there anything I could do to change your mind? No, no, no, just transfer the funds to this account at the Grand Cayman Federal.
Okay, Stukowski's partner.
What's the 411 on this guy? According to Interpol, James Aquino is a demolitions expert and wanted in nine countries.
He enjoys hand-to-hand combat, mixing Molotov cocktails, and instigating regime change in foreign lands.
Well, Sally has some high-class friends.
So if she's going all Ten Little Indians on the Regents, shouldn't one of us be minding the reservation? Well, there's no safer place on Earth than the Warehouse.
Artie says its contingencies have contingencies.
All right, I'm going in.
We're hot on the bad guy's trail now, Artie, what's up? Stukowski took out the elevators in this building using some kind of corrosive artifact.
Now her associate may still have it.
Be careful.
Okay, Mr.
Aquino, you're all set to go.
Thank you very much.
Hold on there, Jimmy boy.
Just have a few questions, like you realize that's not a gun, right? You have no idea what this can do.
I'm on fire! He's out the door! Artie says he may have an artifact.
I would have to agree.
Okay, so there's two sets of stairs.
There's one on the east corner and one on the west.
We should split up.
Okay, I'll take the east corner.
Wait.
My men downstairs just broke out of that closet you locked them in.
They're gonna meet us on the east stairwell.
No, no, no, there may be other traps.
You tell them get out of the building and to call emergency services.
Mr.
Kosan.
We'll wait here while you and Agent Bering check things out.
Agent Bering, I'm going with you.
No, ma'am.
It's too risky.
Wait, you mean like taking the elevator? That kind of risky? Well, if you hadn't zapped my men, we might've known that the elevators had been compromised.
Or you still might all be up on the 40th floor waiting to die.
Or we'd have been alerted to the danger.
I'm going.
End of discussion.
This is a typical snag, bag, and tag.
I'd hate to see what it's like when things are all FUBAR.
Well, I've been doing this long enough to always expect the unexpected.
Oh, I stay well apprised of you and your partner's exploits.
The west stairway has been compromised up to the 11th floor.
Same thing in the east.
Stukowski's cut off all the exits.
Which leaves us with no way down.
Well, when you cannot go down, it would appear there's only one direction left, no? Emergency services are on their way, but they won't be much help this high up.
There's a helicopter on its way.
ETA 30 minutes.
Excellent.
Thank God.
I don't like that look.
I've seen that look before.
Yeah, there's something not right.
We got up here too easily.
Way too easily.
Wait here.
That's a reflection of our building.
That is coming fast.
Yeah.
We don't have 30 minutes.
What do you mean, "He got away"? Aquino used some kind of wacky spray paint can to disintegrate the bank manager's jacket.
That explains the anarchy symbol.
What anarchy symbol? The one that is destroying the structure of this building.
Look, look at this reflection.
What are you wasting time talking to us for? Yeah! Get the hell out of there! Listen, the elevators are gone, the stairs are a death trap.
We are stuck on this roof until a helicopter arrives or the building disintegrates.
I'm pulling for the helicopter.
All right, we'll snag and bag the can.
Maybe that'll stop it.
Let's do that quickly, shall we? Aquino could be anywhere by now.
How are we supposed to find him? Hey, Big Brother's watching.
Yes, yes.
So can little sister.
I understand, Mr.
Kosan.
I will do whatever it takes to get the information from her.
Godspeed.
Will the helicopter make it? It would appear unlikely.
More innocent people, Stukowski.
Not so innocent, Jinksy.
Now, you're going to tell us about that spray can and what we can do to stop it.
Oh, I never was much of an artist, but I always loved to paint.
Don't test me, Miss Stukowski.
You used the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory doorknob to torture and then immolate Theodora Stanton.
But you're not the only one who has access to those kinds of artifacts.
Ma'am? This is not the doorknob, but when it's finished with you, you're going to wish it was.
That's from Unit 731.
You're very well-informed.
What's Unit 731? Special Japanese military unit during World War II that performed human experimentation and biological warfare research.
It's the medal from Shiro Ishii's coat.
The commander of Unit 731.
This can achieve in a few seconds what would take even the most experienced interrogator days.
You're bluffing.
Artie said you don't torture.
I'm not Artie.
You see? It can simulate drowning.
You understand now, don't you? So you really think you can find him? Aquino's on the run.
I highly doubt he's gonna let a red light stop him.
What I can do is tap in to Atlanta's traffic cameras, which will flag moving violations.
Yep, got him.
Told you.
Well, he's got an offshore account in the Caymans.
I'll bet he's headed for one of the airports.
Well, he's not on any commercial Wait.
He booked a charter out of Cassaday.
That's private jets only.
If he gets wheels up, we're done.
All right, he's at this intersection.
Here's the airport.
No, there's no way we'll catch him in time.
Not necessarily.
The Highlander nav system is off the hook, but Aquino's car has a notoriously lousy one.
Yeah, well, he doesn't have satellite radio, a backup camera, and ten cup holders either, but that doesn't help us stop him from getting on a plane.
Claudia, what is that? Just a little something I whipped up.
Prepare to have your mind blown because you did not see this coming.
Left turn ahead.
Proceed west 0.
23 miles.
Next right and then traffic alert.
Alternate route advised.
Take the next left, then proceed east 1.
5 miles.
Talk to me, Sally.
You can make this stop.
Mrs.
Frederic, a word.
What is it, Agent Jinks? We don't torture people.
Need I remind you of the lives Miss Stukowski has already taken? And she will pay for her crimes, but in a court of law, not like this.
This is not a democracy, Agent Jinks.
Mrs.
Frederic, no form of torture has ever yielded credible intel.
It's been statistically proven.
Agent Jinks, I have people who are about to die and that woman has the information I need to free them.
Now if this is the way I have to extract it, so be it.
Now then, where were we? Myka? What? There's a window-washing rig down on the 15th floor.
That could be our ticket out of here.
Can we get to it? Window-washing rig? Yeah.
Seriously? You have a better idea? How do you propose we get there? Maybe the corrosion hasn't reached the 15th floor yet.
It's a chance not worth taking.
Oh, for God's sake.
Look, I know that you are the head of security for the Regents and their lives are in your hands.
I get that.
I do.
But our window of opportunity here is closing every second.
Now we can either take this one shot or watch it close.
Which would you prefer? Let's move.
Oh, brilliant.
I'd heard you could be rather persuasive, Agent Bering.
My dad used to call it bossy.
Curse of a natural-born leader.
I wouldn't say that I'm a natural-born leader.
That's why you were reinstated.
You know about that? Of course you do.
You're meant to be here, Myka.
We all are.
I'm not sure I believe in destiny.
At a time when we may have felt the least prepared to accept the challenge, the Warehouse called upon each of us.
You.
Artie.
Me.
And we answered that call.
If that isn't destiny, what is? Mr.
Jackson, what's the status of your men downstairs? Miller? Stentz? Everybody, up! - Everybody, upstairs! Now! Now! Jane, give me your hand! Jackson! Give me your I got you.
Whatever it takes, save Philip.
Just hold on.
Just save Philip! What are you doing? Saving you! No! It's eating through the structure.
We've got to get to that window-washing rig now! Mr.
Jackson understood the hazards of this job, Agent Bering.
As do you.
But we're not out of Dodge yet, so cowboy up.
Time is running out.
How do I stop the paint? Go to hell.
Mrs.
Frederic, please, there's got to be another way.
Berlin Wall! It's from the Berlin Wall! Tell me how to stop it.
No, I don't know! Tell me how! I don't I don't know anything.
Please, I can't Please, you're killing me.
Please, I can't.
I can't I'm sorry, ma'am But I can't let you do this.
Stand down, Agent Jinks.
No.
I may be new, but I know this is wrong.
This is not what we do.
Protecting the Warehouse is what we do.
If you are not up to the task Actions have consequences, and this will come back to bite us.
Now, Mr.
Jinks, we must address the consequences of your actions.
Well, it's not in our database.
I mean, I searched Berlin Wall and spray paint can and all I got were a bunch of photos of East Germany.
Let me see them.
Of course.
What? For nearly 30 years, the wall was a symbol of oppression.
For young East Berliners, the anarchy sign was the ultimate expression of their rebellious spirit.
Somehow that spirit gave an ordinary spray paint can the ability to tear down more than just walls.
All right, so you think if we find the can, we can reverse it? Artie and Myka are still trapped inside.
This is bigger than the lives of our people, Agent Lattimer.
Get that can and get back there ASAP.
Well, you heard the lady.
Reel him in.
Take the next left, proceed ahead 100 feet and then Prepare to be captured.
Cover me, Claud! On it.
Hey, hey, hey, Jimbo! It's over, man! Stand back.
Just give me the spray can and tell me how it works.
Forget it, pal, we're both cooked! No.
Look, we can figure something out, okay? Just tell me how it works and how we can stop it.
No idea.
Anyway, you kill me, or he does.
Who? Who are you working for? We can protect you.
You can't even protect yourselves.
Either way, I'm dead.
No, no, no! No, no, no, no! Claudia, get the bag! You think that stopped it? I don't know.
Call Artie and see if it worked.
The window-washing rig should be just two floors below us.
Yeah! Any luck? The can is snagged and bagged.
Is it over? No.
The building's still coming down.
We're running out of time.
I don't know.
Maybe we need to be closer to it.
Yeah.
Okay, guys, just hold on! We're on our way.
Pete? Yeah! Hurry.
We're already there.
Kosan? You all right? I'm all right.
Philip! Where's Philip? Philip! Philip! Here, Artie Don't touch that! Philip, here, let There's no time.
Jane, we must make a transfer quickly.
What are you doing? What is that? The Remati Shackle.
Genghis Khan went to great and terrible lengths to create it, to make sure that the Mongols kept control of Warehouse 7.
It can't be destroyed by conventional means.
No Warehouse agent has seen what you're about to witness.
The transfer's complete.
Mr.
Kosan, we have to get out of here now.
Let's go.
Now.
Jane! We can't just leave Philip here! Jane, you must.
Or all this will be for nothing.
My time is over.
You are the Guardian now.
The window-washing rig is It's still there.
Oh, thank God.
Jane.
Jane, we have to go, okay? All right.
I hope you have a ladder in there.
Lloyd Wright's pick-up sticks.
Yeah, Frank's son used to play with these while watching his father work.
He would often copy his designs.
These got me out of a bad scrape in Bangkok in '94.
Except that was a few pounds ago.
I think I better get down there and see if this thing holds.
Good luck.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
All right.
Look, he knew the risks, okay? And so do you.
So, cowboy up, lady.
Because we're getting the hell out of Dodge.
Come on.
Now you, Jane.
Adwin, get down that ladder before you pass out.
Jane, I'm fine.
You really must Go.
Hurry! Be careful.
Come down! I've got to We've got to get this rig up, up there.
It's no use.
Without power, this lift will only go down.
Myka! I'm coming up for you.
No, Artie, listen, there's not enough time! Artie, the ladder's already corrupted.
I'm not leaving you! Go, Artie! We'll We'll find another way down.
What's going on up there? What the hell is that? Toxic chemical spill.
There are people trapped on 17.
Chemicals? Joe, get downtown on the phone.
We're not equipped to handle a situation this big.
There's nothing you can do.
I've got a team coming, just get out of here! Let's go.
Everybody, back.
What if Jane doesn't make it? That's a possibility we cannot entertain.
She's the Guardian now.
She must be rescued.
She has to be rescued.
No, no, no, no.
Get him to a medic.
She has to be.
Get him to a medic.
You have to get out of here! There must be something we can use to lower ourselves down.
What would they do if there was a fire? A fire.
Myka, get those elevator doors open.
This shaft is clear.
Tell me that you're not suggesting that we jump.
There's two of these on every floor.
We can go four floors at a time, all the way down to the basement exit.
I'm impressed.
A little trick my husband taught me.
What, was he in Die Hard? Hope you're not afraid of heights.
How did you know? Okay, I'm coming! Artie, you made it! Artie, where's Myka? She and the Regent are still up there.
You left her in there? How could you just leave? No, no, Pete, no.
There's nothing we can do.
Look.
The anarchy symbol.
Where's the spray can? It's right here.
What, you think we can reverse it? An artifact that is born of extreme emotion sometimes require extreme emotion to be triggered, to be neutralized, so I thought if we Graffiti.
Those German taggers were constantly spraying over each other's messages.
Okay, so we spray over Stukowski's symbol.
You think that'll work? It's worth a try.
That anarchy symbol represents chaos and destruction.
So we paint the opposite.
Well, I'm at extreme emotion right now.
Oh! Oh! Yes! Thank God I didn't wear my good shoes.
Just help me open this door.
Yeah.
Okay.
If we can get through the basement, there are often underground tunnels that Oh, no.
Not exactly the Butch and Sundance moment I was hoping for.
More like Thelma and Louise.
Come on, come on! Keep going, Pete, it's working.
Nice! Yes.
Okay.
Come on, let's go get Myka.
Come on! For some reason, I think that Pete had something to do with this.
He's a good partner.
Yes! Sally, Sally, Sally.
What was unclear about, "Destroy that building and everyone in it"? I'm sorry.
They had more resources than we thought.
And Mrs.
Frederic has no trouble crossing the line.
Never underestimate the denizens of Warehouse 13, Sally.
You know they are dangerous people.
There is a silver lining, though.
You were right about Agent Jinks.
He hasn't drunk the Kool-Aid yet, and I've already started working on him.
That won't be necessary.
I'm sorry.
Hmm.
I'm sorry, too, Sally.
It'll look like an undetected heart defect.
Marcus, you were right.
She wasn't up to it.
I'll make sure someone finds her.
You're a good friend.
Where's Myka? Myka! Myka! Hey, Pete.
I'm Hey.
I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Hey, I'm fine.
Claudia traced a routing number back to the people we believe hired James Aquino.
It's a company called A to Z Technologies.
Whoever they are, they know far more about us than we know about them.
An enemy with an arsenal of artifact weapons would not only be dangerous.
No, they could be unstoppable.
Until we can identify these people behind this A to Z Technologies, we must fortify our defenses.
And once we identify them? Strike, and strike hard.
Come on, this was no assassination attempt.
The Remati Shackle, that was the real target.
I'm afraid so.
They were trying to destroy it.
Why? What's its power? Protection.
In an emergency, that shackle is the last line of defense for Warehouse 13.
Well, that was crappy day at the office, huh? What's going on? You look like you put down Old Yeller yourself or something.
You know, Claud, there is no one that I would rather chase artifacts with than you.
Why am I sensing an ugly subtext here? I was insubordinate today.
Please.
Welcome to my world.
No, I'm serious.
It's complicated.
I drew my gun on Mrs.
Frederic and she fired me.
What? No.
No.
No, no, no.
That's ridiculous.
I'm gonna go talk to her.
I'll just explain to her it was just a misunderstanding.
No, don't.
Please.
Don't.
I'm sorry, Claud, but I can't do what she wants.
I'm sorry.
You know, you're really not allowed to face death without me.
Next time, I promise.
And I heard you had to babysit one of the Regents.
That must have been a pain.
Actually, she's kind of kick-ass.
Come on, I want to introduce you.
Yeah? Yeah.
Uh, Jane? Jane? Hey, I want you to meet my partner.
This is Agent Pete Lattimer.
Mom.
These are the Regents.
Regents discuss, and I make the final decision.
Agent Sally Stukowski.
This is Artie Agent Nielsen.
The door knob is gone.
Somebody must've followed us.
Stukowski played us.
Why would she want an artifact? She's a sworn FBI agent.
It's done.
Now we wait.
Since the days of Warehouse 2, the Regents have been its protectors.
Its first field agents, they were responsible for instituting the artifact collection procedures that we carry out to this day.
Over time, as more and more artifacts were amassed, the Regents became not only its governors, but also the keepers of its secrets.
For 2,000 years, their grace, their wisdom, and their sacrifice has ensured the Warehouse's survival and security.
Only now they are the ones that need protecting.
FBI agent Sally Stukowski.
Once we discovered that she's the one who stole the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory doorknob, I began tracking her activities.
Which, in addition to artifact heisting, also includes kidnapping.
And if my calcs are right, murder.
Four Regents have suffered artifact-related deaths in the past year? People whose connection to us is supposed to be secret.
How's Stukowski cracking our code? One of the many mysteries du jour.
You got proof that it's her? Plane tickets, hotel bills, rental cars, all registered to aliases traceable to her.
And now, a fifth Regent, Theodora Stanton, has been reported missing.
Wait, I met her.
You don't think that she Looks like we need to have a little talk with Miss Sally Stukowski.
Boys! What are you doing here in Hotlanta on this glorious day? Oh, you chasing more strangeness? Where's Theodora Stanton? Who's Theodora Stanton? Drop it, Stukowski.
We know you've been stealing artifacts.
And killing Regents.
Killing what now? Come on, boys, we're all on the same side here.
I don't think so, lady.
You're coming with us.
Whoa! All right, Lattimer, no need to be rude.
I am still a lady.
Say it.
Fine.
You were right.
Zapping her should have been plan A.
All right.
Okay! Giving credit where it's due, you did cover your tracks well.
Claudia, can you reassemble her phone? Don't have to.
SIM card.
Well, well, well.
What have we here? Thanks for ruining my perfect retrieval record, Dolly Parton.
Fire in the hole.
And you're not gonna be killing any more Regents with that, so you may as well start Y'all are wasting your time.
What's done is done and done.
What's done? What did you do? Fine.
Don't talk.
Oh, no.
Y'all are gonna beat it out of me with some paper.
Unlike you, we don't torture people to get information.
Put her hand on the parchment.
Sir Henry Morton Stanley's map will tell us exactly where you've been in the last 12 hours.
There.
That's the place.
She's been to that location more than once.
How do you know? Because "X" marks the spot.
You sure this is it? Sir Stanley's map matched up with this address, Whoa.
Yeah.
Even I'm getting a bad vibe.
No way.
This building's closed.
NSA.
You do know what those letters stand for, right? National Security I don't care if you're the Pope.
You're not getting in here.
You know what? I think we're in the wrong building.
Thanks, guys.
I'm really sorry.
Thank you very much.
Uh, Artie, we don't usually get pushed around by rent-a-cops.
Rent-a-cops don't carry Colt.
45s.
You think they're with Stukowski? They would have shot us by now.
No, something's up.
We got to get past them to figure out what.
Claudia? Oh, yeah.
Tesla grenade.
Don't leave home without it.
Artie.
Yeah? Look at this.
That's the Eye of Horus.
That's These guys are What's wrong? Fortieth floor.
Suite 4013.
Who's Diana K.
Snow? Shh! Claudia, Pete, check out that security camera footage.
I want to know exactly what Stukowski was doing here.
Myka, you're with me.
Wait, wait.
What do we do when goons one and two wake up? Improvise.
You got me tied up pretty snug here, Stevie.
I'm not that kind of gal.
Oh, not that you'd care.
You know, Sally, even if I did like girls, I'm pretty sure an hour with you would turn me gay.
Today's going to end very badly for your people.
Really? Well, if it ends badly for us, it ends badly for you.
Aw! Agent Jinks, bless your heart, you can't avoid the iceberg.
The ship you're on is going down.
Lucky for you, there's a lifeboat.
You and I can both be on it.
Now who's wasting their time? These Regents y'all are running around trying to protect, they're not the paragons of virtue you think they are.
And I can prove it.
Can you, Miss Stukowski? Because that is something I would very much like to hear.
Okay, that closet ought to hold those guards for a while.
Any sign of Stukowski on the security footage? Yup.
She's got a playmate.
All right.
Artie, she wasn't alone.
Stukowski has a partner? And they were both here earlier dressed as painters.
Find him.
See what he knows.
And SIM card.
Let's see who Stukowski has on her evil friends and family plan.
Hold, please.
Multiple calls to the same number within the past 48 hours.
Triangulating that number's current location brings us to That's got to be where Stukowski's partner is right now.
I am so glad you're on our team.
Artie, who is Diana K.
Snow? Adwin Kosan.
It's an anagram.
That's all right, Mr.
Jackson, they are Warehouse agents.
Mr.
Kosan, forgive the intrusion, but we have reason to believe your life may be in danger.
That's highly unlikely, Agent Nielsen, no one knows we're here.
We? "We" who? Three Regents in one place.
Yeah, three birds with one stone.
You all need to come with us right now.
I imagine you two are the reason my men downstairs aren't responding.
Possibly.
You are Going to be a problem.
Mr.
Jackson is the head of Regent Security.
This is Philip Petrov from Moscow, and this is Jane.
You were about to explain the reason for this intrusion.
Sally Stukowski, this is the woman who has been picking off your fellow Regents, was in this building earlier today with an accomplice.
Now we have her in custody.
Thank you.
Might have started with that.
Sirs, ma'am, this location's been compromised.
We need to go now.
Oh, what a good idea.
Last time someone targeted the Regents was 1812.
Napoleon tried to wrest control of Warehouse 11 from Czar Alexander I.
Precautions had to be taken.
Miller? Stentz? Do you copy? Why didn't you bring more men? The Regents do not travel with an army.
We are not the President, Agent Bering.
We meet rarely, and when we do, we do so quietly.
We never meet in the same place twice.
This location was chosen only three hours ago.
Then how did Stukowski find you? She's obviously more resourceful than you realized.
Wait, no, the The stairs are safer.
Elevator's faster.
will take way too long.
Yes, but With all due respect, Agent Bering, we had this building secure until your team showed up.
What is happening? The automatic brakes engaged.
That only happens in case of emergency.
What is that noise? Give me a boost.
That's why you don't take the elevator.
What do you see up there? The cables are gone.
There's a corrosive energy eating away at the emergency brakes.
We don't have much time.
Artie, did you bring the grappler? Of course.
That's not standard Warehouse issue.
It was in 1890.
Okay.
Tie it up.
Open the doors.
All right, hurry up! Out! Quick! Go! Go! Go! Oh! Go now! Are you all right? Stukowski's got another artifact.
Well, Irene Frederic herself.
I am honored.
Drop it, Sally.
You're from Connecticut.
Wow.
Pretty good.
That's right, boy wonder, even the human lie detector can't hear a phony accent.
So, what, I'm supposed to be scared? Fear is a powerful motivator, Miss Stukowski, but we both know what really motivates people is pain.
All those people you tortured and killed were more than just Regents.
They were my friends.
Those friends are the ones that started this, lady.
Started what? What did you do? You'll see soon enough.
We're terribly sorry to be losing such a valued customer, Mr.
Aquino.
Isn't there anything I could do to change your mind? No, no, no, just transfer the funds to this account at the Grand Cayman Federal.
Okay, Stukowski's partner.
What's the 411 on this guy? According to Interpol, James Aquino is a demolitions expert and wanted in nine countries.
He enjoys hand-to-hand combat, mixing Molotov cocktails, and instigating regime change in foreign lands.
Well, Sally has some high-class friends.
So if she's going all Ten Little Indians on the Regents, shouldn't one of us be minding the reservation? Well, there's no safer place on Earth than the Warehouse.
Artie says its contingencies have contingencies.
All right, I'm going in.
We're hot on the bad guy's trail now, Artie, what's up? Stukowski took out the elevators in this building using some kind of corrosive artifact.
Now her associate may still have it.
Be careful.
Okay, Mr.
Aquino, you're all set to go.
Thank you very much.
Hold on there, Jimmy boy.
Just have a few questions, like you realize that's not a gun, right? You have no idea what this can do.
I'm on fire! He's out the door! Artie says he may have an artifact.
I would have to agree.
Okay, so there's two sets of stairs.
There's one on the east corner and one on the west.
We should split up.
Okay, I'll take the east corner.
Wait.
My men downstairs just broke out of that closet you locked them in.
They're gonna meet us on the east stairwell.
No, no, no, there may be other traps.
You tell them get out of the building and to call emergency services.
Mr.
Kosan.
We'll wait here while you and Agent Bering check things out.
Agent Bering, I'm going with you.
No, ma'am.
It's too risky.
Wait, you mean like taking the elevator? That kind of risky? Well, if you hadn't zapped my men, we might've known that the elevators had been compromised.
Or you still might all be up on the 40th floor waiting to die.
Or we'd have been alerted to the danger.
I'm going.
End of discussion.
This is a typical snag, bag, and tag.
I'd hate to see what it's like when things are all FUBAR.
Well, I've been doing this long enough to always expect the unexpected.
Oh, I stay well apprised of you and your partner's exploits.
The west stairway has been compromised up to the 11th floor.
Same thing in the east.
Stukowski's cut off all the exits.
Which leaves us with no way down.
Well, when you cannot go down, it would appear there's only one direction left, no? Emergency services are on their way, but they won't be much help this high up.
There's a helicopter on its way.
ETA 30 minutes.
Excellent.
Thank God.
I don't like that look.
I've seen that look before.
Yeah, there's something not right.
We got up here too easily.
Way too easily.
Wait here.
That's a reflection of our building.
That is coming fast.
Yeah.
We don't have 30 minutes.
What do you mean, "He got away"? Aquino used some kind of wacky spray paint can to disintegrate the bank manager's jacket.
That explains the anarchy symbol.
What anarchy symbol? The one that is destroying the structure of this building.
Look, look at this reflection.
What are you wasting time talking to us for? Yeah! Get the hell out of there! Listen, the elevators are gone, the stairs are a death trap.
We are stuck on this roof until a helicopter arrives or the building disintegrates.
I'm pulling for the helicopter.
All right, we'll snag and bag the can.
Maybe that'll stop it.
Let's do that quickly, shall we? Aquino could be anywhere by now.
How are we supposed to find him? Hey, Big Brother's watching.
Yes, yes.
So can little sister.
I understand, Mr.
Kosan.
I will do whatever it takes to get the information from her.
Godspeed.
Will the helicopter make it? It would appear unlikely.
More innocent people, Stukowski.
Not so innocent, Jinksy.
Now, you're going to tell us about that spray can and what we can do to stop it.
Oh, I never was much of an artist, but I always loved to paint.
Don't test me, Miss Stukowski.
You used the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory doorknob to torture and then immolate Theodora Stanton.
But you're not the only one who has access to those kinds of artifacts.
Ma'am? This is not the doorknob, but when it's finished with you, you're going to wish it was.
That's from Unit 731.
You're very well-informed.
What's Unit 731? Special Japanese military unit during World War II that performed human experimentation and biological warfare research.
It's the medal from Shiro Ishii's coat.
The commander of Unit 731.
This can achieve in a few seconds what would take even the most experienced interrogator days.
You're bluffing.
Artie said you don't torture.
I'm not Artie.
You see? It can simulate drowning.
You understand now, don't you? So you really think you can find him? Aquino's on the run.
I highly doubt he's gonna let a red light stop him.
What I can do is tap in to Atlanta's traffic cameras, which will flag moving violations.
Yep, got him.
Told you.
Well, he's got an offshore account in the Caymans.
I'll bet he's headed for one of the airports.
Well, he's not on any commercial Wait.
He booked a charter out of Cassaday.
That's private jets only.
If he gets wheels up, we're done.
All right, he's at this intersection.
Here's the airport.
No, there's no way we'll catch him in time.
Not necessarily.
The Highlander nav system is off the hook, but Aquino's car has a notoriously lousy one.
Yeah, well, he doesn't have satellite radio, a backup camera, and ten cup holders either, but that doesn't help us stop him from getting on a plane.
Claudia, what is that? Just a little something I whipped up.
Prepare to have your mind blown because you did not see this coming.
Left turn ahead.
Proceed west 0.
23 miles.
Next right and then traffic alert.
Alternate route advised.
Take the next left, then proceed east 1.
5 miles.
Talk to me, Sally.
You can make this stop.
Mrs.
Frederic, a word.
What is it, Agent Jinks? We don't torture people.
Need I remind you of the lives Miss Stukowski has already taken? And she will pay for her crimes, but in a court of law, not like this.
This is not a democracy, Agent Jinks.
Mrs.
Frederic, no form of torture has ever yielded credible intel.
It's been statistically proven.
Agent Jinks, I have people who are about to die and that woman has the information I need to free them.
Now if this is the way I have to extract it, so be it.
Now then, where were we? Myka? What? There's a window-washing rig down on the 15th floor.
That could be our ticket out of here.
Can we get to it? Window-washing rig? Yeah.
Seriously? You have a better idea? How do you propose we get there? Maybe the corrosion hasn't reached the 15th floor yet.
It's a chance not worth taking.
Oh, for God's sake.
Look, I know that you are the head of security for the Regents and their lives are in your hands.
I get that.
I do.
But our window of opportunity here is closing every second.
Now we can either take this one shot or watch it close.
Which would you prefer? Let's move.
Oh, brilliant.
I'd heard you could be rather persuasive, Agent Bering.
My dad used to call it bossy.
Curse of a natural-born leader.
I wouldn't say that I'm a natural-born leader.
That's why you were reinstated.
You know about that? Of course you do.
You're meant to be here, Myka.
We all are.
I'm not sure I believe in destiny.
At a time when we may have felt the least prepared to accept the challenge, the Warehouse called upon each of us.
You.
Artie.
Me.
And we answered that call.
If that isn't destiny, what is? Mr.
Jackson, what's the status of your men downstairs? Miller? Stentz? Everybody, up! - Everybody, upstairs! Now! Now! Jane, give me your hand! Jackson! Give me your I got you.
Whatever it takes, save Philip.
Just hold on.
Just save Philip! What are you doing? Saving you! No! It's eating through the structure.
We've got to get to that window-washing rig now! Mr.
Jackson understood the hazards of this job, Agent Bering.
As do you.
But we're not out of Dodge yet, so cowboy up.
Time is running out.
How do I stop the paint? Go to hell.
Mrs.
Frederic, please, there's got to be another way.
Berlin Wall! It's from the Berlin Wall! Tell me how to stop it.
No, I don't know! Tell me how! I don't I don't know anything.
Please, I can't Please, you're killing me.
Please, I can't.
I can't I'm sorry, ma'am But I can't let you do this.
Stand down, Agent Jinks.
No.
I may be new, but I know this is wrong.
This is not what we do.
Protecting the Warehouse is what we do.
If you are not up to the task Actions have consequences, and this will come back to bite us.
Now, Mr.
Jinks, we must address the consequences of your actions.
Well, it's not in our database.
I mean, I searched Berlin Wall and spray paint can and all I got were a bunch of photos of East Germany.
Let me see them.
Of course.
What? For nearly 30 years, the wall was a symbol of oppression.
For young East Berliners, the anarchy sign was the ultimate expression of their rebellious spirit.
Somehow that spirit gave an ordinary spray paint can the ability to tear down more than just walls.
All right, so you think if we find the can, we can reverse it? Artie and Myka are still trapped inside.
This is bigger than the lives of our people, Agent Lattimer.
Get that can and get back there ASAP.
Well, you heard the lady.
Reel him in.
Take the next left, proceed ahead 100 feet and then Prepare to be captured.
Cover me, Claud! On it.
Hey, hey, hey, Jimbo! It's over, man! Stand back.
Just give me the spray can and tell me how it works.
Forget it, pal, we're both cooked! No.
Look, we can figure something out, okay? Just tell me how it works and how we can stop it.
No idea.
Anyway, you kill me, or he does.
Who? Who are you working for? We can protect you.
You can't even protect yourselves.
Either way, I'm dead.
No, no, no! No, no, no, no! Claudia, get the bag! You think that stopped it? I don't know.
Call Artie and see if it worked.
The window-washing rig should be just two floors below us.
Yeah! Any luck? The can is snagged and bagged.
Is it over? No.
The building's still coming down.
We're running out of time.
I don't know.
Maybe we need to be closer to it.
Yeah.
Okay, guys, just hold on! We're on our way.
Pete? Yeah! Hurry.
We're already there.
Kosan? You all right? I'm all right.
Philip! Where's Philip? Philip! Philip! Here, Artie Don't touch that! Philip, here, let There's no time.
Jane, we must make a transfer quickly.
What are you doing? What is that? The Remati Shackle.
Genghis Khan went to great and terrible lengths to create it, to make sure that the Mongols kept control of Warehouse 7.
It can't be destroyed by conventional means.
No Warehouse agent has seen what you're about to witness.
The transfer's complete.
Mr.
Kosan, we have to get out of here now.
Let's go.
Now.
Jane! We can't just leave Philip here! Jane, you must.
Or all this will be for nothing.
My time is over.
You are the Guardian now.
The window-washing rig is It's still there.
Oh, thank God.
Jane.
Jane, we have to go, okay? All right.
I hope you have a ladder in there.
Lloyd Wright's pick-up sticks.
Yeah, Frank's son used to play with these while watching his father work.
He would often copy his designs.
These got me out of a bad scrape in Bangkok in '94.
Except that was a few pounds ago.
I think I better get down there and see if this thing holds.
Good luck.
Oh, God.
Oh, God.
All right.
Look, he knew the risks, okay? And so do you.
So, cowboy up, lady.
Because we're getting the hell out of Dodge.
Come on.
Now you, Jane.
Adwin, get down that ladder before you pass out.
Jane, I'm fine.
You really must Go.
Hurry! Be careful.
Come down! I've got to We've got to get this rig up, up there.
It's no use.
Without power, this lift will only go down.
Myka! I'm coming up for you.
No, Artie, listen, there's not enough time! Artie, the ladder's already corrupted.
I'm not leaving you! Go, Artie! We'll We'll find another way down.
What's going on up there? What the hell is that? Toxic chemical spill.
There are people trapped on 17.
Chemicals? Joe, get downtown on the phone.
We're not equipped to handle a situation this big.
There's nothing you can do.
I've got a team coming, just get out of here! Let's go.
Everybody, back.
What if Jane doesn't make it? That's a possibility we cannot entertain.
She's the Guardian now.
She must be rescued.
She has to be rescued.
No, no, no, no.
Get him to a medic.
She has to be.
Get him to a medic.
You have to get out of here! There must be something we can use to lower ourselves down.
What would they do if there was a fire? A fire.
Myka, get those elevator doors open.
This shaft is clear.
Tell me that you're not suggesting that we jump.
There's two of these on every floor.
We can go four floors at a time, all the way down to the basement exit.
I'm impressed.
A little trick my husband taught me.
What, was he in Die Hard? Hope you're not afraid of heights.
How did you know? Okay, I'm coming! Artie, you made it! Artie, where's Myka? She and the Regent are still up there.
You left her in there? How could you just leave? No, no, Pete, no.
There's nothing we can do.
Look.
The anarchy symbol.
Where's the spray can? It's right here.
What, you think we can reverse it? An artifact that is born of extreme emotion sometimes require extreme emotion to be triggered, to be neutralized, so I thought if we Graffiti.
Those German taggers were constantly spraying over each other's messages.
Okay, so we spray over Stukowski's symbol.
You think that'll work? It's worth a try.
That anarchy symbol represents chaos and destruction.
So we paint the opposite.
Well, I'm at extreme emotion right now.
Oh! Oh! Yes! Thank God I didn't wear my good shoes.
Just help me open this door.
Yeah.
Okay.
If we can get through the basement, there are often underground tunnels that Oh, no.
Not exactly the Butch and Sundance moment I was hoping for.
More like Thelma and Louise.
Come on, come on! Keep going, Pete, it's working.
Nice! Yes.
Okay.
Come on, let's go get Myka.
Come on! For some reason, I think that Pete had something to do with this.
He's a good partner.
Yes! Sally, Sally, Sally.
What was unclear about, "Destroy that building and everyone in it"? I'm sorry.
They had more resources than we thought.
And Mrs.
Frederic has no trouble crossing the line.
Never underestimate the denizens of Warehouse 13, Sally.
You know they are dangerous people.
There is a silver lining, though.
You were right about Agent Jinks.
He hasn't drunk the Kool-Aid yet, and I've already started working on him.
That won't be necessary.
I'm sorry.
Hmm.
I'm sorry, too, Sally.
It'll look like an undetected heart defect.
Marcus, you were right.
She wasn't up to it.
I'll make sure someone finds her.
You're a good friend.
Where's Myka? Myka! Myka! Hey, Pete.
I'm Hey.
I'm okay.
I'm fine.
Hey, I'm fine.
Claudia traced a routing number back to the people we believe hired James Aquino.
It's a company called A to Z Technologies.
Whoever they are, they know far more about us than we know about them.
An enemy with an arsenal of artifact weapons would not only be dangerous.
No, they could be unstoppable.
Until we can identify these people behind this A to Z Technologies, we must fortify our defenses.
And once we identify them? Strike, and strike hard.
Come on, this was no assassination attempt.
The Remati Shackle, that was the real target.
I'm afraid so.
They were trying to destroy it.
Why? What's its power? Protection.
In an emergency, that shackle is the last line of defense for Warehouse 13.
Well, that was crappy day at the office, huh? What's going on? You look like you put down Old Yeller yourself or something.
You know, Claud, there is no one that I would rather chase artifacts with than you.
Why am I sensing an ugly subtext here? I was insubordinate today.
Please.
Welcome to my world.
No, I'm serious.
It's complicated.
I drew my gun on Mrs.
Frederic and she fired me.
What? No.
No.
No, no, no.
That's ridiculous.
I'm gonna go talk to her.
I'll just explain to her it was just a misunderstanding.
No, don't.
Please.
Don't.
I'm sorry, Claud, but I can't do what she wants.
I'm sorry.
You know, you're really not allowed to face death without me.
Next time, I promise.
And I heard you had to babysit one of the Regents.
That must have been a pain.
Actually, she's kind of kick-ass.
Come on, I want to introduce you.
Yeah? Yeah.
Uh, Jane? Jane? Hey, I want you to meet my partner.
This is Agent Pete Lattimer.
Mom.
