Mutant X s03e10 Episode Script
Brother's Keeper
HEY.
I'M LOOKING FOR THE GUY.
HIS NAME'S LEO.
UM DON'T KNOW HIM.
BUT IF YOU'RE, UH LOOKIN' FOR A GUY? TRUST ME.
I'M MORE THAN YOU COULD HANDLE.
WANT TO TRY THIS AGAIN? HE MAY BE STAYING NEARBY, WITH THE GIRL.
WANT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK? HE'S STAYING IN THAT HOTEL OVER THERE.
THANK YOU.
YOU'RE PERSISTENT.
I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.
ANNOYING, YET PERSISTENT.
TRUST ME, I'VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH MY FRIDAY NIGHT.
OH, GOOD.
GO DO THEM.
AS SOON AS YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU KEEP GOING ON THESE SECRET LITTLE SIDE MISSIONS.
WELL, THEN, THEY WOULDN'T BE VERY SECRET NOW, WOULD THEY? I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF TO YOU.
YEAH, YOU DO - IF YOU EXPECT TO LOSE ME AS YOUR SHADOW.
WHO'S THE GUY? SOMEONE I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS.
DON'T WORRY.
HE'S NOT MUTANT X BUSINESS, OKAY? WHAT IS IT? SCREAMING.
CAN YOU STILL HEAR IT? NO.
THEN WHAT ARE WE FOLLOWING? BLOOD.
OKAY.
I CAN HANDLE IT FROM HERE.
I DON'T THINK SO.
HEY, I'M SERIOUS.
SO AM I.
LOOK.
OH, MY GOD.
IT'S THE GIRL FROM YOUR PHOTO.
SHE'S DEAD.
HEY, LEX, IF THE GUY YOU'RE AFTER IS A PART OF THIS, WE NEED TO FIND HIM.
LISTEN, YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
I'M NOT GOING TO WARN YOU AGAIN.
SCIENTIST ADAM KANE WAS A PIONEER OF GENETIC RESEARCH, MANIPULATING DNA TO SAVE HUMAN LIVES.
BUT IN MANY, THEIR GENES UNEXPECTEDLY MUTATED AND THEY DEVELOPED SUPERHUMAN ABILITIES.
TOGETHER, FOUR OF THE MOST POWERFUL FIGHT TO PROTECT A WORLD THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THEY EXIST.
THEY ARE MUTANT X.
SO WHAT DID LEXA SAY? SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
SHE KEEPS SHUTTING ME OUT.
WELL, THERE'S A SURPRISE.
SHE TOOK SOMETHING FROM THE MURDER SCENE, SOME KIND OF NECKLACE.
I THINK SHE'S IN OVER HER HEAD THIS TIME.
WHATEVER SHE'S HIDING, IT SCARES HER.
LEXA? AND THE GUY SHE'S FOLLOWING - I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S TRYING TO PROTECT HIM OR JUST WANTS TO GET TO HIM FIRST.
WELL, EITHER WAY, I DON'T LIKE IT.
LOOK, IF HE SCARES HER THIS BAD, WE CAN'T LET HER GO AFTER HIM ALONE.
WELL, WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE? SHE WON'T EVEN TALK TO US ABOUT IT.
STOP ASKING.
IS A CLOSED DOOR TOO HARD A CONCEPT FOR YOU? YOU'RE HANDLING THIS ALL WRONG.
REALLY? ENLIGHTEN ME.
WELL, NORMALLY YOU JUST WOULD'VE LIED TO SHALIMAR.
BUT NOW SHE AND JESS ARE ALL OVER THIS.
YOU'RE OFF YOUR GAME, LEX.
AND THAT'S DANGEROUS FOR ALL OF US.
LOOK, I'VE GOT BIGGER PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW THAN YOUR CONTROL ISSUES.
YEAH, SHAL TOLD ME.
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THIS GUY THAT KILLED SOME GIRL.
WHOA - I NEVER SAID LEO KILLED HER.
LEO? THAT'S HIS NAME.
YOU KNOW, KEEP YOUR SECRETS, LEX.
I GOT ENOUGH OF MY OWN, ALL RIGHT? BUT WHOEVER THIS GUY IS, TWO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FIND HIM FASTER THAN ONE.
I GOT A FEELING YOU CAN USE SOME BACKUP.
FINE.
BUT NO MORE QUESTIONS.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
[BELL RINGING.]
[REPEATED RINGINGS.]
ROOMS ARE SIXTY AN HOUR, A HUNDRED FOR THE DAY.
IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, BRO, I'D TAKE THE DAY.
THANKS, HON.
THANK YOU, SIR.
COME AGAIN.
HIS NAME'S LEO.
HAVE YOU SEEN HIM? SURE.
YEAH, HE STAYS WITH HER SOMETIMES.
HE WAS HERE LAST NIGHT.
THIRD FLOOR.
YOU HAVE CAMERAS LIKE THAT UP THERE, TOO? WELL, YEAH A COP JUST CAME IN TO WATCH LAST NIGHT'S TAPE.
YOU JUST MISSED HIM.
WELL, WE NEED TO SEE IT.
AND I NEED A NIGHT WITH ANGELINA JOLIE.
YEAH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE TO SHOW YOU SH-- UGH AND YOU DON'T NEED TO KEEP BREATHING, EITHER.
BUT IF YOU START HELPING US, I JUST MIGHT LET YOU.
OKAY.
COME ON IN.
[DOOR BUZZER.]
YOU GUYS GOT ANY LEADS YET? NO LEADS ON THE MEDALLION YET, IT'S JUST A COMMON SYMBOL.
BUT WE DID MANAGE TO FIND AN ID ON THE DEAD GIRL.
HER NAME IS CANDACE ROCKWELL.
SHE'S A MUTANT.
WE'RE CHECKING OUT HER PRELIMINARY AUTOPSY NOW.
ALL RIGHT.
KEEP ME POSTED.
YOU GOT IT.
SHALIMAR, FOR THE RECORD, IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT DOING THIS BEHIND LEXA'S BACK.
LOOK, JESS, SHE'S THE ONE THAT SHUT US OUT, OKAY? BESIDES, I THINK IT'S TIME WE REMIND HER WE'RE MUTANT X - NOT MUTANT LEX.
STILL FEELS LIKE WE'RE GOING THROUGH HER DIARY HERE.
I JUST THINK SHE DESERVES BETTER FROM US.
ALL RIGHT.
HOW GOOD OF A LOOK DID YOU GET AT CANDACE'S WOUNDS? NOT VERY.
TOO MUCH BLOOD.
BUT I COULD TELL SHE WAS BUTCHERED THOUGH.
WHY? WELL, SHE WASN'T BUTCHERED, SHE WAS DISSECTED.
THEY TOOK HER LIVER.
TOOK IT? WHAT, LIKE A TROPHY? WHAT KIND OF FREAK ARE WE DEALING WITH HERE? I TRUST YOU'LL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE MATERIAL.
ANY FRESHER, IT'D STILL BE ATTACHED.
ZAHLEN SIE IHN.
AUF WIEDERSEHEN DANKE.
WHAT ARE YOU SMILING AT? IT'S STILL A FRACTION OF WHAT WE COULD NET FROM LEO.
HE DISAPPEARED BEFORE WE COULD TAKE HIM.
HE'S A HARD MAN TO TRACK.
HE'S OUR TOP PRIORITY.
I'LL FIND HIM.
I KNOW.
WELL, IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD, LEX.
NO.
REWIND IT.
HE'S ONLY VIOLENT UNDER EXTREME PHYSICAL THREAT.
I MEAN, THIS GIRL - SHE'S A LIGHTWEIGHT AND SHE'S HIS GIRLFRIEND? SORRY, IT JUST DOESN'T FIT.
WAIT.
STOP HERE.
THERE'S OUR KILLER.
OH, AND THERE'S YOUR GUY.
LATE FOR THE PARTY.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHY YOU'RE AFTER HIM, HM? WHO'S THAT? ASIAN MAN.
MY GOD, HE PASSED RIGHT BY ME.
HEY! HEY, CALM DOWN, LEX.
THE COP YOU SHOWED THE TAPE TO - WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE? UH, BLOND.
SCAR ON HIS CHEEK.
HE LEFT ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO.
WHATCHA GOT FOR US, HANDSOME? WELL, LEXA WANTED THIS MEDALLION BAD ENOUGH TO STEAL IT.
I FIGURE IT'S GOT TO BELONG TO THE GUY SHE'S AFTER.
I AGREE.
WHAT DOES THAT GET US? WELL, THERE GOTTA BE SKIN CELLS.
WHICH TA DA.
GOT ME HIS DNA.
LOOK HE'S A MUTANT.
LUCKY US.
I'M GOING TO RUN HIM THROUGH ADAM'S DATABASE.
THERE HE IS.
OH.
OH WAIT, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.
WELL, MAYBE THE SAMPLE'S CONTAMINATED.
YEAH.
NO.
ALL THESE IDS BELONG TO THE SAME DNA.
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME PERSON.
THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
OH, MY GOD.
I HEARD THEORETICAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS, BUT NEVER KNEW THAT ONE EXISTED.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? HE'S A MULTIPLE.
HE'S A MUTANT WITH THE ABILITY TO CHANGE HIS PHYSIOLOGY TO BE SEPARATE PEOPLE WITH SEPARATE IDENTITIES, BUT THE SAME DNA.
SO HE'S A MUTANT VERSION OF A MULTIPLE PERSONALITY.
WELL, IF HE IS ALL THESE PEOPLE, HOW THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO FIND HIM HER THEM? UH, HM.
OKAY, WELL, THEY ALL SEEM TO STEM FROM ONE ORIGINAL MUTANT.
SO I SAY WE START WITH HIM.
LEO PIERCE.
PIERCE? AS IN LEXA PIERCE? AS IN I THINK WE JUST FIND HER LITTLE SECRET.
LEO'S LEXA'S TWIN BROTHER.
NO WONDER SHE WAS SO PROTECTIVE.
YOU TAKE THE EAST SIDE, I'LL GO WEST.
LEX-- I DON'T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN.
JUST KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR THAT COP-- LEXA, WE KNOW LEO'S YOUR BROTHER.
HOW? I TOOK THE MEDALLION AND JESSE RAN THE DNA.
YOU PLAYED ME? HEY, LOOK, IF YOU'RE GOING TO ACT LIKE AN OUTSIDER YOU'RE GOING TO GET TREATED LIKE ONE, ALL RIGHT? WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TELL US YOU WERE LOOKING FOR YOUR TWIN? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO DAMNED SECRETIVE? BECAUSE HE'S SICK, ALL RIGHT? LEO ISN'T STABLE.
SOMETIMES HE LOSES HIMSELF AND HE BECOMES DANGEROUS TO OTHER PEOPLE.
WE COULD'VE HELPED YOU FIND HIM.
I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.
I CAN HANDLE THIS.
IF HE'S SO DANGEROUS, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS ALONE.
TRUST ME, I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE MY OWN BROTHER.
LET GO! GET OFF OF ME! HEY! LET HIM GO! LEO, WAIT! YOU CAN'T KEEP RUNNING LIKE THIS.
I'M NOT GOING BACK, LEXA.
JUST STAY AWAY.
I'M SORRY, I CAN'T DO THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HE'S GONE.
THAT'S THE CLOSEST I'VE BEEN TO LEO IN FOUR YEARS.
YOU SCREWED IT UP! END OF STORY.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU WERE SHOOTING HIM WITH A TRACKER? YOU BETTER HOPE LIKE HELL JESS CAN EXPAND THE SEARCH FIELD ON THIS THING.
HEY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU'RE CHASING YOUR BROTHER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
HIS MUTATION'S TOO POWERFUL.
HE CAN'T HANDLE IT.
WHEN WE WERE KIDS, HE STARTED SWITCHING PERSONALITIES JUST TO GET THROUGH THE DAY.
THEN HE LOST CONTROL AND HE ENDED UP IN AN INSTITUTION RUN BY ECKHART.
YEAH.
WHATEVER THEY DID TO HIM THERE MADE HIM WORSE.
HE ESCAPED AND I'VE BEEN SEARCHING EVER SINCE.
STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY THESE GUYS ARE AFTER HIM.
I THINK WE FOUND OUT THAT PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.
CANDACE WASN'T KILLED.
SHE WAS HARVESTED.
AND SHE'S NOT THE FIRST.
FIVE MUTANTS HAVE GONE MISSING OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS, ALL OF THEM FOUND MINUS AT LEAST ONE ORGAN.
THEY'RE STRIPPING US FOR PARTS? WAIT, HOW COULD WE NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS? THEY WERE ALL LISTED AS JOHN DOES.
NO IDS, NO NEXT OF KIN.
THAT MAKES A SICK SORT OF SENSE.
THERE'S AN UNDERGROUND MARKET FOR HUMAN ORGANS, WHY NOT MUTANTS? MORE EFFICIENT HEARTS, STRONGER LUNGS LIKE MY BROTHER.
HIS WHOLE MUTATION IS ABOUT ADAPTING INTO NEW PEOPLE.
HE'D BE A UNIVERSAL DONOR.
HE'S WORTH A MINT TO THESE PEOPLE.
NOW, LISTEN, DON'T WORRY.
WE STILL HAVE THE TRACKER.
WHICH MEANS WE'RE STILL THREE STEPS AHEAD OF WHOEVER'S AFTER HIM.
THEY BETTER PRAY IT STAYS THAT WAY.
AHH AHHH REPORT.
WE GOT CLOSE TO PIERCE AGAIN.
BUT THE SISTER INTERVENED.
LEXA.
SHH.
DOWN, BOY.
OH, YEAH YEAH! COME ON.
AGH! YEAH, I'VE INTERVENED WITH LEXA A FEW TIMES MYSELF.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
OH OH AH GO ON.
SHE HIT HIM WITH SOMETHING.
IT CAME FROM A GUN.
LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
ALRIGHT.
HM.
CLEVER LEXA.
ECKHART HAD THIS MADE SPECIAL.
I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO IT.
SMILE, BAIN.
LEXA JUST HANDED US HER BROTHER ON A PLATTER.
ANYTHING? NO.
I'M STILL TRYING TO LINK THE CHIP UP TO OUR COMPUTER.
YOU KNOW, THIS TRACKER'S FREAKIN' GENIUS, BY THE WAY.
IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO STICK TO LEO THROUGH ALL OF HIS ALTERS.
YEAH, IT'S AN OLD GSA PROTOTYPE BUILT FOR MOLECULARS.
I FIGURED ECKHART OWED ME A RETIREMENT GIFT WHEN I LEFT.
HOW DID YOU KNOW WHERE TO FIND LEO THE OTHER NIGHT, ANYWAY? THE DOMINION.
IT'S PART OF THE ARRANGEMENT.
THE ARRANGEMENT.
WHAT, YOU COME BACK TO MUTANT X AND CLEAN UP AFTER ADAM AND THE DOMINION HELPS YOU FIND YOUR BROTHER? YEAH.
YOU THINK IT'S WRONG WHAT I'M DOING? CHASING HIM LIKE THIS? I THINK THAT YOU LOVE HIM.
I THINK THAT NOTHING WRONG CAN COME OF THAT.
JUST HANG IN THERE.
I'LL GET A LOCK ON LEO SOON.
YOU AVOIDING ME? IF I SAY YES, WILL YOU GO AWAY? SMART ASS.
HERE.
THE HOSPITAL WANTS YOU TO SIGN THESE.
I DON'T KNOW HEY, I CHECKED THIS ECKHART GUY OUT.
HE RUNS THE COMPANY THAT CREATED US.
HE SWEARS HIS DOCTORS CAN HELP YOU.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.
LAST MONTH YOU DISAPPEARED FOR THREE WEEKS.
YOU STILL CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE.
WE CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS.
WE CAN BARELY AFFORD TO EAT.
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO AFFORD DOCTORS? ECKHART SAYS HE'LL DO IT FOR FREE IF I AGREE TO WORK FOR HIM.
I DON'T KNOW, LEX.
YOU KNOW HOW FREAKED OUT I GET WHEN I'M ALONE TOO LONG.
I KNOW.
SO, THEN, JUST REMEMBER WHAT MOM USED TO SAY WHEN YOU USED TO HAVE YOUR NIGHTMARES.
"FOCUS ON ONE GOOD THING.
" YOU KNOW, A FAVOURITE MEMORY, OR A PLACE WHAT IF ALL I WANT TO FOCUS ON IS GETTING OUT? DO THIS FOR ME.
I WOULD NEVER LET ANYBODY HURT YOU.
YOU KNOW THAT.
PROMISE? PROMISE.
[BEEPS.]
TELL ME YOU GOT HIM.
I GOT HIM.
LET'S GO.
[BEEPS.]
I CAN ALMOST HEAR THE WHEELS IN YOUR HEAD TURNING.
WHAT'S UP? I JUST CAN'T SHAKE THE FEELING THAT LEXA'S HIDING SOMETHING FROM US.
TOO HARD ON HER.
WELL, GOOD - BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO SOFT.
[BEEPS BREAKUP.]
UH OH.
COME ON, COME ON.
WHERE'D YOU GO? WE'RE AT THE LAST COORDINATES, JESS.
THERE'S NO SIGN OF LEO.
YEAH, I GOT SOME BAD NEWS: HE'S OFF THE GRID.
HE WAS READING ONE MINUTE AND DISAPPEARED THE NEXT.
WELL, HE COULDN'T HAVE JUST VANISHED.
NO, HE COULDN'T HAVE.
HE'S GOT TO BE SOMEWHERE WHERE HIS SIGNAL CAN'T BE READ.
UH, DEEP UNDERGROUND, SURROUNDED BY STEEL UH HOW ABOUT BOTH? SO WHAT MAKES YOU THINK LEO'S DOWN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE? THIS IS WHERE HE USED TO HIDE AS A KID, WHEN HE WANTED TO BE ALONE.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR PARENTS? YOU NEVER MENTION THEM.
WELL, THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE MENTIONED.
SOUNDED BITTER, DIDN'T IT? JUST A LITTLE.
THEY WERE ARMY INTELLIGENCE.
THEY VOLUNTEERED FOR A MILITARY FERTILITY PROJECT.
LET ME GUESS.
RUN BY GENOMEX.
YOU GOT IT.
WE WERE A NORMAL LITTLE FAMILY, AS FAR AS I KNEW.
THEN LEO AND I SHOWED OUR MUTATIONS, AND WHAM! THE BRASS ORDERED MY PARENTS TO HAND US OVER.
AND THEY DID? SWEET, HUH? UNTIL WE WERE FOURTEEN WE WERE RAISED IN A MILITARY FACILITY.
THEN LEO STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL AND I HAD TO LEAVE TO FIND HELP.
SO THEN WHY DOESN'T LEO TRUST YOU? I TOLD YOU HE WAS TRAPPED IN ECKHART'S HOSPITAL, RIGHT? YEAH.
WELL, I'M THE ONE WHO PUT HIM IN THERE.
HE SWORE HE'D HELP LEO.
THAT WAS BACK WHEN I USED TO TRUST PEOPLE.
SORRY, LEX.
NOT AS SORRY AS I AM.
HELLO? WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME? LEO, WHERE ARE YOU? HEY, JESS. WE MADE CONTACT. CAN YOU TRACK US FROM DOWN HERE? SEE WHAT I CAN DO. CALL THEM OFF, LEXA. WHO? COME ON, THE MEN THAT KILLED CANDACE! THEY'RE FOLLOWING ME SOMEHOW, EVEN THROUGH MY SHIFTS. WHAT DID YOU DO? HIT YOU WITH A TRACKER. WHAT? LEO, I HAD NO CHOICE. LOOK, JUST STAY UNDERGROUND, OKAY? THEY CAN'T FIND YOU THAT WAY. TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE AND I'LL-- LEO? LE-- OKAY, YOU GUYS, I GOT A FIX ON HIM. HE'S IN THE SEWERS. HE'S WEST OF YOU. WAIT A MINUTE. WHERE DID HE GO? HERE. I FIGURED IF THESE GUYS CAN TRACK LEO'S SIGNAL, THEN THEY MUST BE EX-GSA. MAKES SENSE. AND THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MOTEL SURVEILLANCE TAPE THAT'S BUGGING ME. NOW, THERE'S NO CLEAR SHOT OF THE KILLER'S FACE, BUT THERE IS THIS. NICE TAT. YEAH. IT'S EVEN NICER WHEN YOU CAN TRACE IT. WATCH. ARRESTS FOR ASSAULT, ATTEMPTED MURDER, HUMAN TRAFFICKING. UH HUH. SWEET GUY. YEAH. WHERE'S THE GSA CONNECTION? WELL, BAIN WAS LAST RELEASED SIX MONTHS AGO. BEFORE THE FIRST KILLING. CHECK OUT WHO POSTED HIS BAIL. CHARLES CARTER. TELEKINETIC, EX-GSA. LED ONE OF ECKHART'S MUTANT APPREHENSION TEAMS. SOUNDS LIKE HE ADDED A NEW TWIST TO HIS OLD JOB. ARE YOU SURE HE'S BEHIND THESE ORGAN THEFTS? WISH HE WASN'T. A GUY LIKE THIS AIN'T GONNA STOP. LOOK, I'M GONNA SCORE SOME TRANSPORTATION, SO IF YOU GET A LEAD ON LEO OR THIS CARTER GUY, LET US KNOW. WILL DO. HEY LISTEN, YOU'RE EX-GSA. YOU MUST'VE WORKED WITH THIS CARTER GUY. HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE HE COULD BE? NOT ANYMORE. HE WAS USEFUL TO ME ONCE. LOOK, I KNOW THIS LOOKS BAD, ALL RIGHT? BUT WE'LL FIND YOUR BROTHER BEFORE HE DOES. CARTER'S NOT OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM RIGHT NOW. LEO SOUNDED REALLY SCARED. YEAH, OF COURSE HE'S SCARED. NO - YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. STRESS BRINGS OUT THE WORST IN MY BROTHER. LITERALLY. I CHECKED OUT SOME OF LEO'S OTHER PERSONALITIES. MEET TROY. LEO'S NASTIEST ALTER. IT WAS TROY THAT BROKE OUT OF ECKHART'S INSTITUTION, NOT LEO. PUT THREE GUYS IN A COMA, NEARLY LEVELLED THE BUILDING. OH, MAN. IMAGINE BEING RELATED TO THAT GUY. WHEN LEXA SAID HER BROTHER WAS DANGEROUS SHE WASN'T KIDDING, HUH? YEAH, WELL, IF YOU WENT THROUGH WHAT LEO DID AFTER HIS OWN SISTER LOCKED HIM IN THAT HELL HOLE YOU MIGHTA COME OUT WRONG, TOO. WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WELL, THE ONLY REASON LEO CREATED TROY WAS TO DEAL WITH THE STUFF THAT ECKHART'S DOCTORS WERE DOING TO HIM. SENSORY DEPRIVATION, ELECTROSHOCK, SLOW STAGE DROWNING OH, MAN. SO THEY FIGURED IF THEY SUBJECTED LEO TO ENOUGH TORTURE HE'D SHIFT INTO SOMETHING EXTRA-DANGEROUS OUT OF SHEER SELF-DEFENCE. WELL, LOOKS LIKE IT WORKED. UNFORTUNATELY, ONCE TROY'S OUT OF THE BOX HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO BACK IN. AH. I KNEW LEX WAS KEEPING SOMETHING FROM US. CAN YOU BLAME HER? UGH I I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT. THE TRACKER LOST HIM. OH, SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM LOST HIM AGAIN? NO. THE TRACKER. RELAX. IT'S NOT AS IF I'M COMPLETELY HEARTLESS. OF COURSE, IT'S NOT EXACTLY MY HEART ANYMORE, IS IT? [BEEPS.] AGH! HELLO? GO! HE'S WEST ON DEWEY. BAIN! LOSE HIM THIS TIME AND THE NEXT HEART I TAKE IS YOURS. MOVE! RUN! SHAL, COME HERE. OKAY, WE GOT IGNITION, PEOPLE. LEO'S SIGNAL IS LIVE AND ONLINE. HE'S HEADING WEST ON DEWEY. WE'RE ON IT. [BEEPS.] [BEEPS.] UGH AGH! ALL RIGHT. HE'S DEFINITELY STOPPED. STILL READING HIM AT 44 RICHMOND. [BEEPS.] WE'RE HEADING INSIDE NOW. CARTER'S TEAM'S ALREADY HERE. I'M CALLING UP THE BUILDING PLANS. [GUNSHOTS.] NO! LEXA, DON'T-- NO, LEO! MY GOD. WE FOUND YOUR TRACKER. BUT YOU SAID YOUR BROTHER WASN'T VIOLENT. HE ISN'T. HELLO, LEXA. I MISSED YOU. YOU'RE SUCH A HARD GIRL TO SHOP FOR. I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, I WANT TO TALK TO LEO. SORRY. CAN'T HAPPEN UNLESS I LET HIM. YOU KNOW THAT. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU. THAT LITTLE MEAT PUPPET IN THE CHAIR GAVE ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED. I WISH LEO COULD SEE YOU THE WAY I DO. YOU'VE GOT HIM CONVINCED YOU'RE SO STRONG. BUT WHO HAVE YOU EVER PROTECTED HIM FROM? NOT MOM OR DAD - NOT THE DOCTORS. I PROTECT HIM FROM YOU. IF YOU HADN'T LET HIM DOWN I WOULDN'T EVEN EXIST. IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO END THIS CARTER, THEN I WILL. NO. NO, YOU'RE RIGHT. WE NEED TO STOP HIM. LET ME HELP. NICE TRY, LEXA. BUT I'M NOT THE FOOL IN THIS FAMILY. TROY, DON'T DO THIS. TROY TROY? WHAT'S WRONG? HE'S GOING AFTER CARTER. ALL RIGHT, WHERE IS HE? WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU? I CAN THINK OF ONE GOOD REASON. YOU'RE LOSING IT. NO, I'M LOSING LEO. -WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THE LONGER I LET TROY CONTROL HIM THE MORE DOMINANT HE BECOMES. I ONLY HAVE A SMALL WINDOW TO TRY AND REACH MY BROTHER. OKAY, TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED. I NEED YOU TO BACK OFF! IF YOU COME AFTER TROY HE'LL CONSIDER YOU A THREAT. I CAN'T HANDLE THAT COMPLICATION. I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO IN THERE ALONE. WELL, YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T STOP ME. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. YEAH? HOW 'BOUT THIS? AGH! HI, HONEY. I'M HOME. WE'LL REACH BRENNAN IN FIVE. IT'S ANOTHER TEN TO GET TO LEXA. JESS, YOU KNOW HOW PROTECTIVE LEXA IS OVER LEO? YEAH, I CAUGHT THAT. WELL, TROY IS LEO. AT LEAST, PART OF HIM, ANYWAY. IF HE ATTACKS HER, HOW HARD DO YOU THINK SHE'S GOING TO FIGHT BACK? AGH! OOH, AGH! WELL, THIS BRINGS BACK GOOD MEMORIES. BUT I PREFERRED IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. C'MON. SINCE WHEN ARE YOU SO VANILLA? ORGAN DEALING IS LOW, CARTER, EVEN FOR YOU. WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY? PEOPLE PAY BIG MONEY FOR BABOON PARTS. YOU'D BE AMAZED AT WHAT THEY PAY FOR SOMETHING MORE EVOLVED. I GUESS YOU'RE SAFE, THEN. RELAX. IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE NO LOYALTY TO OUR PEOPLE. I PICK FROM THE DREGS, CULL THE HERD - THE WEAK, THE FREAKS. YOU KNOW, LIKE YOUR BROTHER. OH, YOU STILL BLAME ME FOR HIM. YOU WERE ECKHART'S HEAD OF SECURITY. YOU KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING TO HIM THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE TOGETHER. YOU LIED TO ME. WELL, I HAD TO, BABY. IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD KEEP LYING TO YOURSELF. AGH! HOW HARD DID YOU REALLY LOOK INTO WHAT ECKHART WAS DOING TO YOUR BROTHER? AND HOW MUCH OF YOU WAS JUST GLAD HE WAS FINALLY SOMEBODY ELSE'S PROBLEM? AGH! HERE'S THE DEAL: LEAVE WITH ME NOW, STOP PURSUING MY BROTHER. AND I PROMISE I'LL ONLY DAMAGE YOUR NON-VITAL ORGANS. AGH! AGH OH! WELL, THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM. LOOK I TOOK SOME BULLETS A WHILE AGO. MY BODY'S ALREADY REJECTED THE SECOND TRANSPLANT. I NEED YOUR BROTHER'S HEART. IT'S ALMOST POETIC. THE ONE DONOR THAT'S A GUARANTEED MATCH IS YOUR TWIN BROTHER. SO AFTER THE OPERATION, I'LL ALWAYS HAVE A PIECE OF YOU RIGHT HERE. YOU WANT A PIECE, CARTER? YOU COME AND GET IT. BUT IT LOOKS LIKE LEXA BEAT ME TO IT. VERY RUDE OF HER. WELL, YOU KNOW LEXA. ALWAYS WAS HEADSTRONG. COME ON, GIVE THIS UP, TROY. I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU. SHAME I CAN'T SAY THE SAME. CARTER! YOU GET HIM. I'LL FIND LEX. UGH! HEY, UGLY! WHAT? YOUR MOMMA DIDN'T TEACH YOU NOT TO PICK ON YOUR SISTER? BRENNAN, GET OUT OF HERE! NO. YOU HONESTLY THINK I WON'T KILL YOU? THOSE DOCTORS LIED TO ME, LEO. THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP. BY TORTURING HIM? BY TEACHING HIM NEW LEVELS OF PAIN? WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO? YOU WERE FALLING APART, LEO. STOP CALLING ME THAT! THE ONLY THING THAT'S EVER MATTERED TO ME IS SOMEWHERE INSIDE YOU. YOU STILL KNOW THAT. TOUCHING. BUT HE CAN'T HEAR YOU. AGH! GOING SOMEWHERE? MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE YOU APART PIECE BY PIECE. YOU WOULDN'T GET MUCH FOR HIM. ANTI-REJECTION PILLS, HUH? WITHOUT THESE THAT STOLEN HEART OF YOURS WOULD JUST STOP, WOULDN'T IT? AGH! I'M DYING ALREADY. WHAT'S THE WORST YOU CAN DO? WE CAN LET YOU DIE SLOW AND ALONE, JUST LIKE YOUR VICTIMS. AGH! WOULD YOU LIKE TO PLAY A GAME, LEXA? USED TO PLAY GAMES WITH LEO INSIDE THAT HOSPITAL. THEY'D GIVEN HIM KITTENS, TWO OF THEM. THEN THEY'D KILL THEM IN FRONT OF HIM. AND MAKE HIM WATCH. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE YOU WANT FROM ME. RIGHT NOW? I WANT IT TO BE YOUR TURN TO WATCH. TROY, DON'T DO THIS. NO! AGH! OH, MY GOD, LEE LEE NO, DON'T MOVE. DON'T MOVE, LEE. YOU LOOK LIKE HELL. DID I HURT YOU? NO. I'M FINE. I'M FINE. IT DOESN'T MATTER. LEX, LISTEN, I NEVER BLAMED YOU, OKAY? I WAS RUNNING TO PROTECT YOU. FROM WHAT? THIS. WHEN YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL I VISITED YOU EVERY WEEK. WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING? BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME IF I DID THEY'D DO THE SAME THINGS TO YOU. STAY WITH ME, OKAY? I DON'T WANT TO DIE ALONE. NO. NO, DON'T YOU TALK LIKE THAT. I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE, OKAY? JUST JUST DO LIKE WE DID AS KIDS, OKAY? JUST THINK OF ONE GOOD ONE GOOD THING. ONE MY ONE GOOD THING IS YOU. NO. NO. NO, NO LEO. [KNOCK.] WHAT. SHAL THOUGHT YOU'D WANT THIS BACK. SHE HAD IT FIXED. CASTOR AND POLLUX. WHAT? ON THE NECKLACE. IT'S A GREEK MYTH. CASTOR GAVE UP IMMORTALITY TO SAVE HIS TWIN. THEY SPENT THE REST OF ETERNITY BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL AS PART OF THE BARGAIN. I GAVE THIS TO HIM WHEN HE STARTED LOSING CONTROL. SAID IF HE WORE IT I'D ALWAYS BE ABLE TO FIND HIM. KINDA WHAT HAPPENED. THERE'S TWO THINGS YOU AND I NEED TO BE CLEAR ON, BRENNAN. ONE: I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DID TO TRY TO HELP ME WITH MY BROTHER. AND TWO? I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME AFTER ME. AND PART OF ME KNOWS IT WOULD'VE ENDED THE SAME EVEN IF YOU WOULD'VE DONE WHAT I'D ASKED. AND THE REST OF YOU? THE REST OF ME KNOWS IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU I HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE, AND NOW MY BROTHER IS DEAD. AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH YOU RIGHT NOW, OKAY?
| |
I'M LOOKING FOR THE GUY.
HIS NAME'S LEO.
UM DON'T KNOW HIM.
BUT IF YOU'RE, UH LOOKIN' FOR A GUY? TRUST ME.
I'M MORE THAN YOU COULD HANDLE.
WANT TO TRY THIS AGAIN? HE MAY BE STAYING NEARBY, WITH THE GIRL.
WANT TO TAKE ANOTHER LOOK? HE'S STAYING IN THAT HOTEL OVER THERE.
YOU'RE PERSISTENT.
I'LL GIVE YOU THAT.
ANNOYING, YET PERSISTENT.
TRUST ME, I'VE GOT BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH MY FRIDAY NIGHT.
OH, GOOD.
GO DO THEM.
AS SOON AS YOU TELL ME WHERE YOU KEEP GOING ON THESE SECRET LITTLE SIDE MISSIONS.
WELL, THEN, THEY WOULDN'T BE VERY SECRET NOW, WOULD THEY? I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN MYSELF TO YOU.
YEAH, YOU DO - IF YOU EXPECT TO LOSE ME AS YOUR SHADOW.
WHO'S THE GUY? SOMEONE I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR FOR NEARLY FIVE YEARS.
DON'T WORRY.
HE'S NOT MUTANT X BUSINESS, OKAY?
CAN YOU STILL HEAR IT? NO.
THEN WHAT ARE WE FOLLOWING? BLOOD.
OKAY.
I CAN HANDLE IT FROM HERE.
I DON'T THINK SO.
HEY, I'M SERIOUS.
SO AM I.
LOOK.
OH, MY GOD.
IT'S THE GIRL FROM YOUR PHOTO.
SHE'S DEAD.
HEY, LEX, IF THE GUY YOU'RE AFTER IS A PART OF THIS, WE NEED TO FIND HIM.
LISTEN, YOU STAY AWAY FROM HIM.
I'M NOT GOING TO WARN YOU AGAIN.
SCIENTIST ADAM KANE WAS A PIONEER OF GENETIC RESEARCH, MANIPULATING DNA TO SAVE HUMAN LIVES.
BUT IN MANY, THEIR GENES UNEXPECTEDLY MUTATED AND THEY DEVELOPED SUPERHUMAN ABILITIES.
TOGETHER, FOUR OF THE MOST POWERFUL FIGHT TO PROTECT A WORLD THAT DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THEY EXIST.
THEY ARE MUTANT X.
SO WHAT DID LEXA SAY? SHE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
SHE KEEPS SHUTTING ME OUT.
WELL, THERE'S A SURPRISE.
SHE TOOK SOMETHING FROM THE MURDER SCENE, SOME KIND OF NECKLACE.
I THINK SHE'S IN OVER HER HEAD THIS TIME.
WHATEVER SHE'S HIDING, IT SCARES HER.
LEXA? AND THE GUY SHE'S FOLLOWING - I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S TRYING TO PROTECT HIM OR JUST WANTS TO GET TO HIM FIRST.
WELL, EITHER WAY, I DON'T LIKE IT.
LOOK, IF HE SCARES HER THIS BAD, WE CAN'T LET HER GO AFTER HIM ALONE.
WELL, WHAT CHOICE DO WE HAVE? SHE WON'T EVEN TALK TO US ABOUT IT.
STOP ASKING.
IS A CLOSED DOOR TOO HARD A CONCEPT FOR YOU? YOU'RE HANDLING THIS ALL WRONG.
REALLY? ENLIGHTEN ME.
WELL, NORMALLY YOU JUST WOULD'VE LIED TO SHALIMAR.
BUT NOW SHE AND JESS ARE ALL OVER THIS.
YOU'RE OFF YOUR GAME, LEX.
AND THAT'S DANGEROUS FOR ALL OF US.
LOOK, I'VE GOT BIGGER PROBLEMS RIGHT NOW THAN YOUR CONTROL ISSUES.
YEAH, SHAL TOLD ME.
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR THIS GUY THAT KILLED SOME GIRL.
WHOA - I NEVER SAID LEO KILLED HER.
LEO? THAT'S HIS NAME.
YOU KNOW, KEEP YOUR SECRETS, LEX.
I GOT ENOUGH OF MY OWN, ALL RIGHT? BUT WHOEVER THIS GUY IS, TWO PEOPLE ARE GOING TO FIND HIM FASTER THAN ONE.
I GOT A FEELING YOU CAN USE SOME BACKUP.
FINE.
BUT NO MORE QUESTIONS.
NO MORE QUESTIONS.
[BELL RINGING.]
[REPEATED RINGINGS.]
ROOMS ARE SIXTY AN HOUR, A HUNDRED FOR THE DAY.
IF YOU CAN AFFORD IT, BRO, I'D TAKE THE DAY.
THANKS, HON.
THANK YOU, SIR.
COME AGAIN.
HIS NAME'S LEO.
HAVE YOU SEEN HIM? SURE.
YEAH, HE STAYS WITH HER SOMETIMES.
HE WAS HERE LAST NIGHT.
THIRD FLOOR.
YOU HAVE CAMERAS LIKE THAT UP THERE, TOO? WELL, YEAH A COP JUST CAME IN TO WATCH LAST NIGHT'S TAPE.
YOU JUST MISSED HIM.
WELL, WE NEED TO SEE IT.
AND I NEED A NIGHT WITH ANGELINA JOLIE.
YEAH, YOU KNOW, I DON'T HAVE TO SHOW YOU SH-- UGH AND YOU DON'T NEED TO KEEP BREATHING, EITHER.
BUT IF YOU START HELPING US, I JUST MIGHT LET YOU.
OKAY.
COME ON IN.
[DOOR BUZZER.]
YOU GUYS GOT ANY LEADS YET? NO LEADS ON THE MEDALLION YET, IT'S JUST A COMMON SYMBOL.
BUT WE DID MANAGE TO FIND AN ID ON THE DEAD GIRL.
HER NAME IS CANDACE ROCKWELL.
SHE'S A MUTANT.
WE'RE CHECKING OUT HER PRELIMINARY AUTOPSY NOW.
ALL RIGHT.
KEEP ME POSTED.
YOU GOT IT.
SHALIMAR, FOR THE RECORD, IT DOESN'T FEEL RIGHT DOING THIS BEHIND LEXA'S BACK.
LOOK, JESS, SHE'S THE ONE THAT SHUT US OUT, OKAY? BESIDES, I THINK IT'S TIME WE REMIND HER WE'RE MUTANT X - NOT MUTANT LEX.
STILL FEELS LIKE WE'RE GOING THROUGH HER DIARY HERE.
I JUST THINK SHE DESERVES BETTER FROM US.
ALL RIGHT.
HOW GOOD OF A LOOK DID YOU GET AT CANDACE'S WOUNDS? NOT VERY.
TOO MUCH BLOOD.
BUT I COULD TELL SHE WAS BUTCHERED THOUGH.
WHY? WELL, SHE WASN'T BUTCHERED, SHE WAS DISSECTED.
THEY TOOK HER LIVER.
TOOK IT? WHAT, LIKE A TROPHY? WHAT KIND OF FREAK ARE WE DEALING WITH HERE? I TRUST YOU'LL BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE MATERIAL.
ANY FRESHER, IT'D STILL BE ATTACHED.
AUF WIEDERSEHEN DANKE.
WHAT ARE YOU SMILING AT? IT'S STILL A FRACTION OF WHAT WE COULD NET FROM LEO.
HE DISAPPEARED BEFORE WE COULD TAKE HIM.
HE'S A HARD MAN TO TRACK.
HE'S OUR TOP PRIORITY.
I'LL FIND HIM.
I KNOW.
WELL, IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD, LEX.
NO.
REWIND IT.
HE'S ONLY VIOLENT UNDER EXTREME PHYSICAL THREAT.
I MEAN, THIS GIRL - SHE'S A LIGHTWEIGHT AND SHE'S HIS GIRLFRIEND? SORRY, IT JUST DOESN'T FIT.
WAIT.
STOP HERE.
THERE'S OUR KILLER.
OH, AND THERE'S YOUR GUY.
LATE FOR THE PARTY.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
AND YOU WANT TO TELL ME WHY YOU'RE AFTER HIM, HM? WHO'S THAT? ASIAN MAN.
MY GOD, HE PASSED RIGHT BY ME.
HEY! HEY, CALM DOWN, LEX.
THE COP YOU SHOWED THE TAPE TO - WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE? UH, BLOND.
SCAR ON HIS CHEEK.
HE LEFT ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES AGO.
WHATCHA GOT FOR US, HANDSOME? WELL, LEXA WANTED THIS MEDALLION BAD ENOUGH TO STEAL IT.
I FIGURE IT'S GOT TO BELONG TO THE GUY SHE'S AFTER.
I AGREE.
WHAT DOES THAT GET US? WELL, THERE GOTTA BE SKIN CELLS.
WHICH TA DA.
GOT ME HIS DNA.
LOOK HE'S A MUTANT.
LUCKY US.
I'M GOING TO RUN HIM THROUGH ADAM'S DATABASE.
THERE HE IS.
OH.
OH WAIT, THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT.
WELL, MAYBE THE SAMPLE'S CONTAMINATED.
YEAH.
NO.
ALL THESE IDS BELONG TO THE SAME DNA.
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME PERSON.
THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
OH, MY GOD.
I HEARD THEORETICAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS, BUT NEVER KNEW THAT ONE EXISTED.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? HE'S A MULTIPLE.
HE'S A MUTANT WITH THE ABILITY TO CHANGE HIS PHYSIOLOGY TO BE SEPARATE PEOPLE WITH SEPARATE IDENTITIES, BUT THE SAME DNA.
SO HE'S A MUTANT VERSION OF A MULTIPLE PERSONALITY.
WELL, IF HE IS ALL THESE PEOPLE, HOW THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO FIND HIM HER THEM?
OKAY, WELL, THEY ALL SEEM TO STEM FROM ONE ORIGINAL MUTANT.
SO I SAY WE START WITH HIM.
LEO PIERCE.
PIERCE? AS IN LEXA PIERCE? AS IN I THINK WE JUST FIND HER LITTLE SECRET.
LEO'S LEXA'S TWIN BROTHER.
NO WONDER SHE WAS SO PROTECTIVE.
YOU TAKE THE EAST SIDE, I'LL GO WEST.
LEX-- I DON'T HAVE TIME TO EXPLAIN.
JUST KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN FOR THAT COP-- LEXA, WE KNOW LEO'S YOUR BROTHER.
HOW? I TOOK THE MEDALLION AND JESSE RAN THE DNA.
YOU PLAYED ME? HEY, LOOK, IF YOU'RE GOING TO ACT LIKE AN OUTSIDER YOU'RE GOING TO GET TREATED LIKE ONE, ALL RIGHT? WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST TELL US YOU WERE LOOKING FOR YOUR TWIN? WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO DAMNED SECRETIVE? BECAUSE HE'S SICK, ALL RIGHT? LEO ISN'T STABLE.
SOMETIMES HE LOSES HIMSELF AND HE BECOMES DANGEROUS TO OTHER PEOPLE.
WE COULD'VE HELPED YOU FIND HIM.
I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP.
I CAN HANDLE THIS.
IF HE'S SO DANGEROUS, MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T BE DOING THIS ALONE.
TRUST ME, I KNOW HOW TO HANDLE MY OWN BROTHER.
LET GO! GET OFF OF ME! HEY! LET HIM GO! LEO, WAIT! YOU CAN'T KEEP RUNNING LIKE THIS.
I'M NOT GOING BACK, LEXA.
JUST STAY AWAY.
I'M SORRY, I CAN'T DO THAT.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HE'S GONE.
THAT'S THE CLOSEST I'VE BEEN TO LEO IN FOUR YEARS.
YOU SCREWED IT UP! END OF STORY.
HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW YOU WERE SHOOTING HIM WITH A TRACKER? YOU BETTER HOPE LIKE HELL JESS CAN EXPAND THE SEARCH FIELD ON THIS THING.
HEY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY YOU'RE CHASING YOUR BROTHER IN THE FIRST PLACE.
HIS MUTATION'S TOO POWERFUL.
HE CAN'T HANDLE IT.
WHEN WE WERE KIDS, HE STARTED SWITCHING PERSONALITIES JUST TO GET THROUGH THE DAY.
THEN HE LOST CONTROL AND HE ENDED UP IN AN INSTITUTION RUN BY ECKHART.
YEAH.
WHATEVER THEY DID TO HIM THERE MADE HIM WORSE.
HE ESCAPED AND I'VE BEEN SEARCHING EVER SINCE.
STILL DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY THESE GUYS ARE AFTER HIM.
I THINK WE FOUND OUT THAT PIECE OF THE PUZZLE.
CANDACE WASN'T KILLED.
SHE WAS HARVESTED.
AND SHE'S NOT THE FIRST.
FIVE MUTANTS HAVE GONE MISSING OVER THE LAST THREE MONTHS, ALL OF THEM FOUND MINUS AT LEAST ONE ORGAN.
THEY'RE STRIPPING US FOR PARTS? WAIT, HOW COULD WE NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS? THEY WERE ALL LISTED AS JOHN DOES.
NO IDS, NO NEXT OF KIN.
THAT MAKES A SICK SORT OF SENSE.
THERE'S AN UNDERGROUND MARKET FOR HUMAN ORGANS, WHY NOT MUTANTS? MORE EFFICIENT HEARTS, STRONGER LUNGS LIKE MY BROTHER.
HIS WHOLE MUTATION IS ABOUT ADAPTING INTO NEW PEOPLE.
HE'D BE A UNIVERSAL DONOR.
HE'S WORTH A MINT TO THESE PEOPLE.
NOW, LISTEN, DON'T WORRY.
WE STILL HAVE THE TRACKER.
WHICH MEANS WE'RE STILL THREE STEPS AHEAD OF WHOEVER'S AFTER HIM.
THEY BETTER PRAY IT STAYS THAT WAY.
AHH AHHH REPORT.
WE GOT CLOSE TO PIERCE AGAIN.
BUT THE SISTER INTERVENED.
LEXA.
SHH.
DOWN, BOY.
OH, YEAH YEAH! COME ON.
AGH!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
SHE HIT HIM WITH SOMETHING.
IT CAME FROM A GUN.
LOOKS SOMETHING LIKE THIS.
ALRIGHT.
HM.
ECKHART HAD THIS MADE SPECIAL.
I ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED TO IT.
SMILE, BAIN.
LEXA JUST HANDED US HER BROTHER ON A PLATTER.
ANYTHING? NO.
I'M STILL TRYING TO LINK THE CHIP UP TO OUR COMPUTER.
YOU KNOW, THIS TRACKER'S FREAKIN' GENIUS, BY THE WAY.
IT SHOULD BE ABLE TO STICK TO LEO THROUGH ALL OF HIS ALTERS.
YEAH, IT'S AN OLD GSA PROTOTYPE BUILT FOR MOLECULARS.
I FIGURED ECKHART OWED ME A RETIREMENT GIFT WHEN I LEFT.
IT'S PART OF THE ARRANGEMENT.
THE ARRANGEMENT.
WHAT, YOU COME BACK TO MUTANT X AND CLEAN UP AFTER ADAM AND THE DOMINION HELPS YOU FIND YOUR BROTHER? YEAH.
YOU THINK IT'S WRONG WHAT I'M DOING? CHASING HIM LIKE THIS? I THINK THAT YOU LOVE HIM.
I THINK THAT NOTHING WRONG CAN COME OF THAT.
JUST HANG IN THERE.
I'LL GET A LOCK ON LEO SOON.
YOU AVOIDING ME? IF I SAY YES, WILL YOU GO AWAY? SMART ASS.
HERE.
THE HOSPITAL WANTS YOU TO SIGN THESE.
I DON'T KNOW HEY, I CHECKED THIS ECKHART GUY OUT.
HE RUNS THE COMPANY THAT CREATED US.
HE SWEARS HIS DOCTORS CAN HELP YOU.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH ME.
LAST MONTH YOU DISAPPEARED FOR THREE WEEKS.
YOU STILL CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE.
WE CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS.
WE CAN BARELY AFFORD TO EAT.
HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO AFFORD DOCTORS? ECKHART SAYS HE'LL DO IT FOR FREE IF I AGREE TO WORK FOR HIM.
I DON'T KNOW, LEX.
YOU KNOW HOW FREAKED OUT I GET WHEN I'M ALONE TOO LONG.
I KNOW.
SO, THEN, JUST REMEMBER WHAT MOM USED TO SAY WHEN YOU USED TO HAVE YOUR NIGHTMARES.
"FOCUS ON ONE GOOD THING.
" YOU KNOW, A FAVOURITE MEMORY, OR A PLACE WHAT IF ALL I WANT TO FOCUS ON IS GETTING OUT? DO THIS FOR ME.
I WOULD NEVER LET ANYBODY HURT YOU.
YOU KNOW THAT.
PROMISE? PROMISE.
[BEEPS.]
TELL ME YOU GOT HIM.
I GOT HIM.
LET'S GO.
[BEEPS.]
I CAN ALMOST HEAR THE WHEELS IN YOUR HEAD TURNING.
WHAT'S UP? I JUST CAN'T SHAKE THE FEELING THAT LEXA'S HIDING SOMETHING FROM US.
TOO HARD ON HER.
WELL, GOOD - BECAUSE YOU'RE TOO SOFT.
[BEEPS BREAKUP.]
UH OH.
COME ON, COME ON.
WHERE'D YOU GO? WE'RE AT THE LAST COORDINATES, JESS.
THERE'S NO SIGN OF LEO.
YEAH, I GOT SOME BAD NEWS: HE'S OFF THE GRID.
HE WAS READING ONE MINUTE AND DISAPPEARED THE NEXT.
WELL, HE COULDN'T HAVE JUST VANISHED.
NO, HE COULDN'T HAVE.
HE'S GOT TO BE SOMEWHERE WHERE HIS SIGNAL CAN'T BE READ.
UH, DEEP UNDERGROUND, SURROUNDED BY STEEL UH HOW ABOUT BOTH? SO WHAT MAKES YOU THINK LEO'S DOWN HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE? THIS IS WHERE HE USED TO HIDE AS A KID, WHEN HE WANTED TO BE ALONE.
WHAT ABOUT YOUR PARENTS? YOU NEVER MENTION THEM.
WELL, THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BE MENTIONED.
SOUNDED BITTER, DIDN'T IT? JUST A LITTLE.
THEY WERE ARMY INTELLIGENCE.
THEY VOLUNTEERED FOR A MILITARY FERTILITY PROJECT.
LET ME GUESS.
RUN BY GENOMEX.
YOU GOT IT.
WE WERE A NORMAL LITTLE FAMILY, AS FAR AS I KNEW.
THEN LEO AND I SHOWED OUR MUTATIONS, AND WHAM! THE BRASS ORDERED MY PARENTS TO HAND US OVER.
AND THEY DID? SWEET, HUH? UNTIL WE WERE FOURTEEN WE WERE RAISED IN A MILITARY FACILITY.
THEN LEO STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL AND I HAD TO LEAVE TO FIND HELP.
SO THEN WHY DOESN'T LEO TRUST YOU? I TOLD YOU HE WAS TRAPPED IN ECKHART'S HOSPITAL, RIGHT? YEAH.
WELL, I'M THE ONE WHO PUT HIM IN THERE.
HE SWORE HE'D HELP LEO.
THAT WAS BACK WHEN I USED TO TRUST PEOPLE.
SORRY, LEX.
NOT AS SORRY AS I AM.
WE MADE CONTACT.
CAN YOU TRACK US FROM DOWN HERE? SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
CALL THEM OFF, LEXA.
WHO? COME ON, THE MEN THAT KILLED CANDACE! THEY'RE FOLLOWING ME SOMEHOW, EVEN THROUGH MY SHIFTS.
WHAT DID YOU DO? HIT YOU WITH A TRACKER.
WHAT? LEO, I HAD NO CHOICE.
LOOK, JUST STAY UNDERGROUND, OKAY? THEY CAN'T FIND YOU THAT WAY.
TELL ME WHERE YOU ARE AND I'LL-- LEO? LE-- OKAY, YOU GUYS, I GOT A FIX ON HIM.
HE'S IN THE SEWERS.
HE'S WEST OF YOU.
WAIT A MINUTE.
WHERE DID HE GO? HERE.
I FIGURED IF THESE GUYS CAN TRACK LEO'S SIGNAL, THEN THEY MUST BE EX-GSA.
MAKES SENSE.
AND THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MOTEL SURVEILLANCE TAPE THAT'S BUGGING ME.
NOW, THERE'S NO CLEAR SHOT OF THE KILLER'S FACE, BUT THERE IS THIS.
NICE TAT.
YEAH.
IT'S EVEN NICER WHEN YOU CAN TRACE IT.
WATCH.
ARRESTS FOR ASSAULT, ATTEMPTED MURDER, HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
UH HUH.
SWEET GUY.
YEAH.
WHERE'S THE GSA CONNECTION? WELL, BAIN WAS LAST RELEASED SIX MONTHS AGO.
BEFORE THE FIRST KILLING.
CHECK OUT WHO POSTED HIS BAIL.
CHARLES CARTER.
TELEKINETIC, EX-GSA.
LED ONE OF ECKHART'S MUTANT APPREHENSION TEAMS.
SOUNDS LIKE HE ADDED A NEW TWIST TO HIS OLD JOB.
ARE YOU SURE HE'S BEHIND THESE ORGAN THEFTS? WISH HE WASN'T.
A GUY LIKE THIS AIN'T GONNA STOP.
LOOK, I'M GONNA SCORE SOME TRANSPORTATION, SO IF YOU GET A LEAD ON LEO OR THIS CARTER GUY, LET US KNOW.
WILL DO.
HEY LISTEN, YOU'RE EX-GSA.
YOU MUST'VE WORKED WITH THIS CARTER GUY.
HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE HE COULD BE? NOT ANYMORE.
HE WAS USEFUL TO ME ONCE.
LOOK, I KNOW THIS LOOKS BAD, ALL RIGHT? BUT WE'LL FIND YOUR BROTHER BEFORE HE DOES.
CARTER'S NOT OUR BIGGEST PROBLEM RIGHT NOW.
LEO SOUNDED REALLY SCARED.
YEAH, OF COURSE HE'S SCARED.
NO - YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
STRESS BRINGS OUT THE WORST IN MY BROTHER.
LITERALLY.
I CHECKED OUT SOME OF LEO'S OTHER PERSONALITIES.
MEET TROY.
LEO'S NASTIEST ALTER.
IT WAS TROY THAT BROKE OUT OF ECKHART'S INSTITUTION, NOT LEO.
PUT THREE GUYS IN A COMA, NEARLY LEVELLED THE BUILDING.
OH, MAN.
IMAGINE BEING RELATED TO THAT GUY.
WHEN LEXA SAID HER BROTHER WAS DANGEROUS SHE WASN'T KIDDING, HUH? YEAH, WELL, IF YOU WENT THROUGH WHAT LEO DID AFTER HIS OWN SISTER LOCKED HIM IN THAT HELL HOLE YOU MIGHTA COME OUT WRONG, TOO.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? WELL, THE ONLY REASON LEO CREATED TROY WAS TO DEAL WITH THE STUFF THAT ECKHART'S DOCTORS WERE DOING TO HIM.
SENSORY DEPRIVATION, ELECTROSHOCK, SLOW STAGE DROWNING OH, MAN.
SO THEY FIGURED IF THEY SUBJECTED LEO TO ENOUGH TORTURE HE'D SHIFT INTO SOMETHING EXTRA-DANGEROUS OUT OF SHEER SELF-DEFENCE.
WELL, LOOKS LIKE IT WORKED.
UNFORTUNATELY, ONCE TROY'S OUT OF THE BOX HE DOESN'T WANT TO GO BACK IN.
AH.
I KNEW LEX WAS KEEPING SOMETHING FROM US.
CAN YOU BLAME HER? UGH I I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT.
THE TRACKER LOST HIM.
OH, SO YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT YOU AND YOUR TEAM LOST HIM AGAIN? NO.
THE TRACKER.
RELAX.
IT'S NOT AS IF I'M COMPLETELY HEARTLESS.
OF COURSE, IT'S NOT EXACTLY MY HEART ANYMORE, IS IT? [BEEPS.]
AGH! HELLO? GO! HE'S WEST ON DEWEY.
BAIN! LOSE HIM THIS TIME AND THE NEXT HEART I TAKE IS YOURS.
MOVE! RUN! SHAL, COME HERE.
OKAY, WE GOT IGNITION, PEOPLE.
LEO'S SIGNAL IS LIVE AND ONLINE.
HE'S HEADING WEST ON DEWEY.
WE'RE ON IT.
[BEEPS.]
[BEEPS.]
UGH AGH! ALL RIGHT.
HE'S DEFINITELY STOPPED.
STILL READING HIM AT 44 RICHMOND.
[BEEPS.]
WE'RE HEADING INSIDE NOW.
CARTER'S TEAM'S ALREADY HERE.
I'M CALLING UP THE BUILDING PLANS.
[GUNSHOTS.]
NO! LEXA, DON'T-- NO, LEO! MY GOD.
WE FOUND YOUR TRACKER.
BUT YOU SAID YOUR BROTHER WASN'T VIOLENT.
HE ISN'T.
I MISSED YOU.
YOU'RE SUCH A HARD GIRL TO SHOP FOR.
I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU, I WANT TO TALK TO LEO.
SORRY.
CAN'T HAPPEN UNLESS I LET HIM.
YOU KNOW THAT.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME? I DON'T WANT ANYTHING FROM YOU.
THAT LITTLE MEAT PUPPET IN THE CHAIR GAVE ME EVERYTHING I NEEDED.
I WISH LEO COULD SEE YOU THE WAY I DO.
YOU'VE GOT HIM CONVINCED YOU'RE SO STRONG.
BUT WHO HAVE YOU EVER PROTECTED HIM FROM? NOT MOM OR DAD - NOT THE DOCTORS.
I PROTECT HIM FROM YOU.
IF YOU HADN'T LET HIM DOWN I WOULDN'T EVEN EXIST.
IF YOU'RE NOT WILLING TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO END THIS CARTER, THEN I WILL.
NO.
NO, YOU'RE RIGHT.
WE NEED TO STOP HIM.
LET ME HELP.
BUT I'M NOT THE FOOL IN THIS FAMILY.
TROY, DON'T DO THIS.
TROY TROY? WHAT'S WRONG? HE'S GOING AFTER CARTER.
ALL RIGHT, WHERE IS HE? WHY SHOULD I TELL YOU? I CAN THINK OF ONE GOOD REASON.
NO, I'M LOSING LEO.
-WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? THE LONGER I LET TROY CONTROL HIM THE MORE DOMINANT HE BECOMES.
I ONLY HAVE A SMALL WINDOW TO TRY AND REACH MY BROTHER.
OKAY, TELL ME WHAT YOU NEED.
I NEED YOU TO BACK OFF! IF YOU COME AFTER TROY HE'LL CONSIDER YOU A THREAT.
I CAN'T HANDLE THAT COMPLICATION.
I'M NOT LETTING YOU GO IN THERE ALONE.
WELL, YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T STOP ME.
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
YEAH? HOW 'BOUT THIS? AGH! HI, HONEY.
I'M HOME.
WE'LL REACH BRENNAN IN FIVE.
IT'S ANOTHER TEN TO GET TO LEXA.
JESS, YOU KNOW HOW PROTECTIVE LEXA IS OVER LEO? YEAH, I CAUGHT THAT.
WELL, TROY IS LEO.
AT LEAST, PART OF HIM, ANYWAY.
IF HE ATTACKS HER, HOW HARD DO YOU THINK SHE'S GOING TO FIGHT BACK? AGH! OOH, AGH! WELL, THIS BRINGS BACK GOOD MEMORIES.
BUT I PREFERRED IT THE OTHER WAY AROUND.
C'MON.
SINCE WHEN ARE YOU SO VANILLA? ORGAN DEALING IS LOW, CARTER, EVEN FOR YOU.
WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY? PEOPLE PAY BIG MONEY FOR BABOON PARTS.
YOU'D BE AMAZED AT WHAT THEY PAY FOR SOMETHING MORE EVOLVED.
I GUESS YOU'RE SAFE, THEN.
RELAX.
IT'S NOT LIKE I HAVE NO LOYALTY TO OUR PEOPLE.
I PICK FROM THE DREGS, CULL THE HERD - THE WEAK, THE FREAKS.
YOU KNOW, LIKE YOUR BROTHER.
OH, YOU STILL BLAME ME FOR HIM.
YOU WERE ECKHART'S HEAD OF SECURITY.
YOU KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING TO HIM THE WHOLE TIME WE WERE TOGETHER.
YOU LIED TO ME.
WELL, I HAD TO, BABY.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY YOU COULD KEEP LYING TO YOURSELF.
AGH!
AND I PROMISE I'LL ONLY DAMAGE YOUR NON-VITAL ORGANS.
AGH! AGH OH! WELL, THAT COULD BE A PROBLEM.
LOOK I TOOK SOME BULLETS A WHILE AGO.
MY BODY'S ALREADY REJECTED THE SECOND TRANSPLANT.
I NEED YOUR BROTHER'S HEART.
IT'S ALMOST POETIC.
THE ONE DONOR THAT'S A GUARANTEED MATCH IS YOUR TWIN BROTHER.
SO AFTER THE OPERATION, I'LL ALWAYS HAVE A PIECE OF YOU RIGHT HERE.
YOU WANT A PIECE, CARTER? YOU COME AND GET IT.
BUT IT LOOKS LIKE LEXA BEAT ME TO IT.
VERY RUDE OF HER.
WELL, YOU KNOW LEXA.
ALWAYS WAS HEADSTRONG.
COME ON, GIVE THIS UP, TROY.
I DON'T WANT TO HURT YOU.
SHAME I CAN'T SAY THE SAME.
CARTER! YOU GET HIM.
I'LL FIND LEX.
UGH! HEY, UGLY! WHAT? YOUR MOMMA DIDN'T TEACH YOU NOT TO PICK ON YOUR SISTER? BRENNAN, GET OUT OF HERE!
YOU HONESTLY THINK I WON'T KILL YOU? THOSE DOCTORS LIED TO ME, LEO.
THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO HELP.
BY TORTURING HIM? BY TEACHING HIM NEW LEVELS OF PAIN? WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO? YOU WERE FALLING APART, LEO.
STOP CALLING ME THAT! THE ONLY THING THAT'S EVER MATTERED TO ME IS SOMEWHERE INSIDE YOU.
YOU STILL KNOW THAT.
TOUCHING.
BUT HE CAN'T HEAR YOU.
AGH! GOING SOMEWHERE? MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE YOU APART PIECE BY PIECE.
YOU WOULDN'T GET MUCH FOR HIM.
ANTI-REJECTION PILLS, HUH? WITHOUT THESE THAT STOLEN HEART OF YOURS WOULD JUST STOP, WOULDN'T IT? AGH!
WHAT'S THE WORST YOU CAN DO? WE CAN LET YOU DIE SLOW AND ALONE, JUST LIKE YOUR VICTIMS.
AGH!
THEY'D GIVEN HIM KITTENS, TWO OF THEM.
THEN THEY'D KILL THEM IN FRONT OF HIM.
AND MAKE HIM WATCH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MORE YOU WANT FROM ME.
RIGHT NOW? I WANT IT TO BE YOUR TURN TO WATCH.
TROY, DON'T DO THIS.
NO! AGH! OH, MY GOD, LEE LEE NO, DON'T MOVE.
DON'T MOVE, LEE.
YOU LOOK LIKE HELL.
DID I HURT YOU? NO.
I'M FINE.
I'M FINE.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
LEX, LISTEN, I NEVER BLAMED YOU, OKAY? I WAS RUNNING TO PROTECT YOU.
FROM WHAT? THIS.
WHEN YOU WERE IN THE HOSPITAL I VISITED YOU EVERY WEEK.
WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING? BECAUSE THEY TOLD ME IF I DID THEY'D DO THE SAME THINGS TO YOU.
STAY WITH ME, OKAY? I DON'T WANT TO DIE ALONE.
NO.
NO, DON'T YOU TALK LIKE THAT.
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE, OKAY? JUST JUST DO LIKE WE DID AS KIDS, OKAY? JUST THINK OF ONE GOOD ONE GOOD THING.
ONE MY ONE GOOD THING IS YOU.
NO.
NO.
[KNOCK.]
WHAT.
SHAL THOUGHT YOU'D WANT THIS BACK.
SHE HAD IT FIXED.
CASTOR AND POLLUX.
WHAT? ON THE NECKLACE.
IT'S A GREEK MYTH.
CASTOR GAVE UP IMMORTALITY TO SAVE HIS TWIN.
THEY SPENT THE REST OF ETERNITY BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL AS PART OF THE BARGAIN.
I GAVE THIS TO HIM WHEN HE STARTED LOSING CONTROL.
SAID IF HE WORE IT I'D ALWAYS BE ABLE TO FIND HIM.
KINDA WHAT HAPPENED.
THERE'S TWO THINGS YOU AND I NEED TO BE CLEAR ON, BRENNAN.
ONE: I APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU DID TO TRY TO HELP ME WITH MY BROTHER.
AND TWO? I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME AFTER ME.
AND PART OF ME KNOWS IT WOULD'VE ENDED THE SAME EVEN IF YOU WOULD'VE DONE WHAT I'D ASKED.
AND THE REST OF YOU? THE REST OF ME KNOWS IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU I HAD TO MAKE A CHOICE, AND NOW MY BROTHER IS DEAD.
AND I DON'T REALLY WANT TO BE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH YOU RIGHT NOW, OKAY?
