Warehouse 13 s03e10 Episode Script

Previously on Warehouse 13 Four Regents have suffered artifact-related deaths.
And now, a fifth Regent.
How can my mom be a Regent and not have told me? Just let me start at the beginning.
Some other time, Jane.
A time when the Warehouse isn't under attack, and someone isn't trying to kill you.
Artie said you don't torture.
I'm not Artie.
I can't let you do this.
I drew my gun on Mrs.
Frederic and she fired me.
What? You hear that? No.
Sounds like somebody's in trouble.
You want trouble, Mister? Hold that thought, I beg of you.
Ah.
Hey, you okay? No.
No.
Hello? Oh, my God, Paul! Paul! Paul! So, you just let my mom walk out? I don't get to make her stay.
There is a hierarchy here.
There's your mother, the Regent, Mrs.
Frederic, there's me and then there's you.
Oh, sorry, how rude.
There's me, there's Trailer and then there's you.
Okay, so, how do we protect her from Walter Sykes if she's not here? Her security has been tripled.
She is safe.
The Remati Shackle is safe.
The Warehouse is safe, the world is safe, the universe is safe.
And, by the way, no one asked us to help.
So I don't think that we have Regent security has been stretched pretty thin since Myka, please, please! Not you, too.
Now I have a situation here I would like to talk Artie, Sykes has been planning his revenge for decades.
He wants the Collodi Bracelet.
We need to go out and The Regents are handling it.
Let it go! Walter Sykes needs to be brought to justice.
Ah, see? You're not looking for justice.
You're looking for vengeance.
If some psycho tried to off your mother, wouldn't you want payback? You never met my mother.
Our job is to do our job.
And oh, look, we have a ping, so go back and you're going to go to Ithaca, New York.
Bye.
Artie, he does have a point, right? Ithaca.
Bye.
Leena, look at this.
Someone actually doing as requested.
How's the security system upgrade going? Down to one last diagnostic.
Once I run this, we're good to go.
Good.
Sykes is looking for weaknesses.
Best not to have any.
So is Claudia still upset about Steve? Ah, I was hoping that a few days away from this place would clear her mind.
Artie, what happened in Atlanta? Something bad between Steve and Mrs.
Frederic.
A notice was issued to all government agencies that Jinks was persona non grata.
They burned his credit rating and his passport.
Oh, my God.
Don't tell Claudia.
I won't.
Okay, thanks.
Johnny Cash, Astrud Gilberto and The Runaways in the same set.
Wow.
Yeah, that's my motto, "Go eclectic or go home.
" Yeah, I like to mix it up on open mic night.
Claudia, right? I'm Dwayne Maddox.
Lead singer slash guitarist for Dead Rent? Great band, terrible name.
So you've seen us? South Dakota's most promising musical export, sayeth the blogs.
That was before the rhythm guitarist decided to split.
He wanted us to be the next Black Eyed Peas, I wanted to be Black Flag.
It's just Well, weird coincidence.
I know exactly what it's like to lose a partner.
I was wondering if you'd like to fill in? Okay, um, wow.
So when do you When do you think you want to jam? I mean, uh, my schedule is just a little unpredictable, so Well, we rehearse in my garage.
It's the red house behind the body shop.
Say, noon tomorrow? Yeah! That, that could work.
All right, see you then.
Hey what's up? This is Steve, leave a message.
Damn it, Jinksy, call me back.
I want to share.
So you and Paul were both bitten, but neither of you saw what did it.
It was really dark and it was really fast.
Then something got its attention.
I dragged us both into the car and took off.
May I? Sorry.
Thank you.
Myka, do you know what those are? Some kind of animal, maybe? Human bite marks.
They're human.
A vampire or werewolf.
I don't know, but based on the location I would say Wait a minute.
Do you really think that No, I don't think that.
We deal with artifacts, not fairy tales.
Yeah, a lot of those artifacts come from fairy tales, okay? Cinderella's knife, right? Turns people to glass, remember? I'm just saying it's possible.
Well, I'll believe it when I see it.
Let's check out Lover's Lane.
Okay, but I only go to third base.
Okay, so Amy said Paul heard a moaning coming from that direction.
I'm going to go that way.
You stay here.
What? Alone? Okay.
This isn't a horror movie, Pete.
Oh, yeah.
See? See? Now it's a horror movie.
Myka.
Myka.
What are you doing here? Well, I was worried about you in here.
All alone.
Wait, wait, wait.
Do you hear that? Yeah.
What in the hell? Why is that man eating a deer? Probably because that man is a zombie.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Afraid of guns, huh? Hold up.
Zombies aren't afraid of guns.
That's because he's not a zombie.
He's probably just been affected by something that we know is real.
An artifact.
Maybe if we just talk to him.
No, no, no, no.
You don't talk to the living dead.
You either run away really fast or you shoot them in the head, pop, pop.
Sir, I'm Agent Bering.
This is Agent Lattimer.
Wait, no.
We're with the Secret Service.
Okay, we just want to help you.
Do you Do you understand me? Myka, look out! Cover me.
Easy.
God, he's really cold.
Yeah, further proof that he's not alive.
Careful, careful.
Myka, it only takes one bite.
Will you be quiet? Ah-ha.
All right, we have Kevin Monroe, lives here in town at 127, Briarwood Lane.
All right.
Well, does he have anything artifacty on him? Not that I can see.
Let's get him to a hospital.
Artie, will you please tell Pete that the undead do not exist? Don't be ridiculous.
Of course they exist.
Thank you.
What? What? I told you.
Only in the technical sense.
Uh-huh, I told you.
There are several artifacts known to simulate living death.
Show me the victim.
Necrotic dermal discoloration.
Around his mouth, hyper stimulation of the salivary glands.
Off the bat I'd say he's got two symptoms that are consistent.
Peas, elk, bison.
Pete, look in his eyes.
That's not anger, that's That's fear.
It kind of sounded like he said, "Peas, elk, bison.
" Well, at least there's some vegetables in there.
Artie, listen, the doctor said he had frostbite on his toes and ears, but Ithaca's been in the middle of a heat wave.
Yeah, check out his house.
I'm on the next flight out.
Whatever you do, you keep him restrained.
Hold down the fort.
I thought I had two days off.
Leena's busy, I'm getting on a plane.
I need you to do some research.
Everything we've got on living death artifacts.
Yeah, Artie, you specifically forbade me from I changed my mind.
I'm mercurial, deal with it.
Yeah, not exactly the adjective I'd choose right now.
Come on, Steve.
Pick up the What, Claudia? Oh, my God.
Jinksy.
I can't.
Wow, I've, um I've just been dying to talk to you.
Yeah, I can tell from the last 800 messages.
Okay, it wasn't that many.
What do you want? Um Okay, CliffsNotes version, I met this really hot musician at open mic yesterday.
Pretty sure he wants me.
Pretty sure I want him.
I mean, I know I've only known this guy less than 24 hours, but how can you tell? What if he's my one? Claudia, I can't do this.
What? Talk to your BFFE? What the hell is a BFFE? Best friends forever and Look, we're not BFFE's.
We were coworkers and now we're not, which makes us Nothing.
Nothing? Steve, why are Why would you I can't be any clearer, Claudia.
Stop calling me.
Lose my number.
Yeah, Steve, no problem.
I'll just like forget everything about our awesome friendship if you'll just tell me why are you being such a tool! Okay.
I'll bite.
Okay, Sallah.
That wasn't really the question.
She raised her eyebrow at this and walked on.
Yup.
Oh, oh, God.
Wow.
Hello from Miami Beach.
Ninety degrees.
He was obviously freezing.
Why? You scope out the living room.
I'm going to see if I can stand the heat in the kitchen.
Pete, you hear that? Secret Service! Come on out with your hands up! Locked.
Hey.
Hey, it's okay.
It's okay.
I'm Myka.
Everything's going to be okay.
Mykes.
Yeah? Peas, elk, bison.
Please help my son.
Hey, Artie.
Hey, listen, we Pete, what are you doing with this Artie, come here.
Who, who Who's this? Well, this is Kevin Monroe's son.
We found him hiding in a closet.
Hiding? Was he there when his was father affected? Did he see the artifact? We have no idea.
The kid hasn't said a word.
I mean the only way we know his name is from a tag in his backpack.
Artie, this is Danny.
Danny, Artie.
Hey, how are you I'm sure it's not the eyebrows.
What do you mean? Hey, buddy.
Hey, you know your dad's just He's just taking a nap.
I got an idea.
How about you and me go get a candy bar? So how is his dad doing? Well, he's sedated.
For now.
Amy and Paul, the couple from the woods, any symptoms? Nothing yet, but listen to this.
I think whatever affected Kevin Monroe is spreading.
A few minutes ago, campus police at SUNY Ithaca got this call from the Psi Phi Zeta frat house.
Listen to this.
Send someone over here now! He's crazy! He ate a squirrel and he keeps trying to bite me.
Get the hell away from me! Okay, now it's a frat house, but still, the artifact could be there.
But how did Kevin Monroe come into contact with it? Was he an alumnus or Well, we're still working on that.
But right now we just have to contain this thing.
Yeah.
Hey.
Okay, we have to go.
I'll explain on the way.
Hey, whoa, whoa, Artie.
Um, what about Danny? Who? The kid.
Oh, what about him? Artie, we just found him cowering in a closet by himself.
He can't be left alone.
You've got to stay with him.
- Yeah.
Me? No.
I have no idea He probably saw something, right? Talk to him.
Get him to open up.
Yeah, show him some of that Papa Nielsen charm.
Don't touch me.
Okay.
Um, all right.
Uh, you go check out Animal House and I'll Cajole.
Good luck.
Yeah.
Good game.
See what you can find out from the frat boys.
I'll make sure the campus gendarmes give us some space.
Agent Bering.
Somebody fill me in.
Hey, Benton Wallace, house president.
Everyone just calls me Wally.
So what happened here? Moose freaked.
A moose? One of our newbies.
Came back from a burrito run whining about being cold.
He starts eating all the food then all of a sudden he just goes psycho, starts trying to bite people.
Wait, did you see him actually bite anyone? Lady, after he took a swipe at me all I saw was the basement door slam shut.
I think he's still down there tearing through the pantry.
Hey.
Hey.
So, we've got boys in blue show up.
Let's go find us an artifact.
Okay.
Thirty guys under one roof and no one takes the time to change a light bulb.
Are you asking me how many frat boys it takes to change a light bulb? Because I would say Please don't.
Well, ooh, tacos.
Oh, man, I hope that truck's still out there.
Don't start with me, okay? My blood sugar is crashing.
Oh, Jesus! Whoa! Dude, I hate rats.
Cold So hungry.
Help me, help me.
Moose, listen, it's going to be okay.
Myka! Are you okay? Yeah.
Huh? Yeah.
Did he get you? No, no, I'm fine, let's just Let's just get him to the hospital.
Is it safe to come out? Ah! Ah! Are you okay? He bit me, Mykes.
He bit me.
How long ago was he bitten? A few minutes ago.
How long before the effects kick in? No idea.
Amy and Paul were bitten hours ago, they're both still asymptomatic.
So, it could take anywhere from three minutes to To never happening at all.
Well, depends on the artifact.
Do you have any leads? No, I'm still working on it.
Work faster.
And Myka, Myka, if Pete gets a strange look, watch yourself.
Was Moose from Ithaca? Was he related to a, uh, Kevin Monroe? Wisconsin.
His last name's Mulder.
Was Kevin Monroe ever pledged to this house? Say, around We only got chartered last year.
Myka.
Listen, um, when it happens I want you to be the one who puts me down.
Okay.
I know it's not going to be Wait, what? Two shots to the head, right? Pop, pop.
Mykes.
Everything's going to be fine.
Okay, I'll drop you off at the hospital.
Wait, wait, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm not just going to sit around waiting for it to happen.
Okay, I mean, I'm going to make sure we find this thing.
Make it stop, make it stop.
It's too bright.
Ah, my eyes.
Make it stop.
Make it stop! Wait, they're sensitive to light.
Remember Kevin Monroe in the woods? He flinched from our flashlights.
Oh, sorry.
I'm freaking starving.
A human flesh kind of starving, that kind of starving? Or No.
Like Pete Lattimer starving.
Just, I can't do this on an empty stomach.
I'm going to go get a taco.
Really? Now? Hola, amigo.
Uh, uno burrito grande especial.
Por favor, rápido, gracias, comprende.
Yeah, I get it gringo.
I speak English, bro.
Okay, well, I'm just, you know.
Pete.
Yeah? At Kevin Monroe's house it was hot, right? It was like 90 degrees.
Yeah, and they said Moose was freezing.
Right, so I'm thinking that the artifact works in stages.
Well, that's how zombies work, Mykes.
You know, there's the blood bite, sickness, death, rotting and then all you want to do is like Gracias, señor.
Seis dólares.
Pay the man, Mykes.
Okay, sorry.
Órale hombre.
I'm coming back for seconds.
This is delicious.
Okay, that's like 28 bucks you owe me now.
So, Danny, any interest in cartography? Piano nocturnes? 'Cause they're No.
Cold War espionage? Never mind.
I gotta go check on your dad.
You stay put.
What What's happening? He's going through IV bags almost as fast as I can hang them.
If that wasn't weird enough, there's no clear sign of infection, viral or bacterial.
He is ice cold.
Last reading body temp was 89 and dropping.
If we don't reverse this, he's going to go into organ failure.
Excuse me.
Oh, come on.
Again? Oh! What? Of course.
Yo.
Claudia, did you get the information that I asked you? Yes.
Uh, what do you think? Of course.
Yes.
Claudia? Is everything all right? Just a little temporary, possibly terminal technical difficulties.
All good now.
Claudia, what is wrong? Nothing, quit worrying, Nana.
So listen, on the shelf we have the Torch of Thanatos, Marie Laveau's crucifix and the Bodhidharma's slippers.
But unfortunately, that's all I can tell you until this search speeds up.
So, any new deets? It causes extreme metabolic shifts and temperature drops, while simultaneously triggering an intense carnivorous craving.
Cravings, well, I'll cross-ref when I can to see what pops, but the network's been über-sluggish lately.
It's weird, actually.
I don't know.
Call me when you get something and then you can resume your R and R.
Thank you.
Yes, Leena? Yes, I know someone named Dwayne.
He's where now? Dwayne! Hey.
You're You're where I live! Yeah, I asked around.
Look, um, if you're not into joining the band, I mean, that would suck, but I get it.
And I'm just still hoping that we could Not into, no, wait.
What? Well, when you blew off rehearsal, I just assumed No, no, oh, no, no, no, no, no.
That was not rejection that was me trying to juggle and I'm all thumbs.
So, um Okay, I just have one more little thing I have to do at work, okay? And then I'm all yours.
I mean to rehearse.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
Let me just go get my guitar and then we'll go straight to Whoa! Hey! Dwayne! Well, I've never had a hot rocker girl literally throw herself at me before.
Look out! Oh, my God! Are you guys all right? Uh, yeah, yeah, fine.
Great, actually.
Oh, my God.
I cannot believe this.
Claudia, what's wrong? I've got to get out of here.
Claudia, wait.
I just You need to stay as far away from me as possible right now.
Trust me.
Wait, why? Because I'm marked for death.
Seventy-six and still dropping.
If we don't get his body temperature up, this man is going to be dead in an hour.
I'm going to talk to the doctor about putting him on bypass.
The doctor's on his way back to Good.
It stopped dropping.
Maybe he's stabilizing.
It's not going to last.
Where did those glasses come from? Uh, Alfred Butz, inventor of the thermostat.
Huh? Uh Great-Uncle Alfie's glasses.
Same prescription, oddly.
I'm going to go check on the two kids who were attacked in the woods.
Oh, well, those two were patched up and discharged hours ago.
They were bitten and they're fine.
That means something else caused the Hey! Stop him! Ah! Ah! Get some Ah! Why did they crank the AC in here? Really? Because I'm sweating my That was Moose! Stop him! Everybody out! Get out now! Let's go, get out of there! Get out, come on! Take the shot, Mykes.
Mykes, take the shot! Where did you go? I I don't know.
So hungry.
Oh, man.
Don't make me do this.
Don't come any closer.
Just stop right there.
Don't Don't come any closer.
I will shoot you! Is he Hypothermia, starvation.
So, what, I'm going to freeze to death? Are you feeling cold? Well, no, but I've been bitten.
There's nothing wrong with you.
Whatever this artifact is, its effects are not spread by biting.
Thank God.
You here that, Mykes? I'm so cold.
I don't want to be one of the undead.
And I don't want you putting me down.
Look, we are going to find this thing, Myka.
You're going to be okay, I promise.
Okay.
She must have come in contact with the artifact.
Yeah, but where? The woods? Kevin's place? The frat house? What do we know? Stage one, severe chill.
Stage two, intense hunger.
Stage three, hypothermia, malnutrition.
Stage four, death.
I mean, come on, Artie.
You have to have some idea of what we're dealing with here.
Everyone's that's been impacted by this artifact is either too far gone to talk or dead.
Not everyone.
Hey.
You know, Danny, my dad was once really sick, too and I spent the whole time at the hospital just wishing there was something I could do to help.
Bet you know how that feels.
Yeah.
But, you can help.
Not just your dad, there are other people in trouble, too.
Want to give her the magic glasses? No, Danny, I'll be fine.
Thank you, though.
Okay, how can I help? Did your dad come into contact with any strange things lately? Anything weird? Nothing.
Do you remember when he first started feeling cold? Last night after dinner.
What'd he eat for dinner? He wanted to try the new burger place, but the line was too long.
So we just stopped at a food truck on the way home.
Tacos! Tacos, Danny? Tacos from here, Danny? Yeah, Manny's.
He's nice.
Artie, something on that truck is altering the food.
Kevin and Moose both ate there.
Myka, what did you eat? Off the truck? Who am I, Pete? Okay, fine, but still, that truck must be the nexus.
And the artifact's got to be there.
We've got to find the truck.
I'm on it.
I just started following Manny's on Twitter today.
See? Sometimes being obsessed with food and social networking is a good thing.
Pete.
Okay.
His last tweet was from a construction site nearby.
Let's go.
Wait, wait, wait, Myka, Myka.
Don't you think you should stay here? I'm not going to stay here waiting to turn, okay? I want to be there when we find it.
I'm going to drive.
It'll keep me focused.
Any excuse to drive.
All right, go.
So, was your dad okay? Oh, he was fine.
No, no, he Everything turned out just fine.
He's still a pain in the butt.
All right, Mr.
All-Seeing, All-Knowing, I'm sorry I doubted you.
You obviously know what's what.
Otherwise you wouldn't be here, right? So, I've got to know, am I really going to die tonight? Okay, obviously, I didn't enunciate.
Am I going to die tonight? Okay, it's on.
It's bath time.
Ooh, slippery, isn't it? Yeah, get you some.
Oh, ho, ho! In your face, grim reaper.
Adieu.
What a day.
Oh, come on.
Whoa.
Water's not supposed to do that.
Somebody! Leena! Anybody! Anybody! Help me! Help! Thank God it's still here.
Yeah.
I'm going to crank this baby up to 11, just in case we So cold.
Myka? And I'm hungry.
I need to eat.
Uh, it's happening to you.
It's Pete! Myka, snap out of it.
Myka! You all ate Mexican? It's Pete, Myka! Okay, okay.
Myka, don't hate me for this, but Keys, no keys.
What the Claudia! Claudia! Breathe, breathe slowly.
Claudia, breathe.
It's okay.
No, it's not.
Okay? Everything is not okay.
Some psycho has the Warehouse in his sights, my best friend wants nothing to do with me, and now the Sultan of Suckwad over there is trying to kill me.
Oh, yeah.
It's all rainbows and unicorns.
And on top of that, why am I dry? It's an artifact, Claudia.
Watch.
Sallah, what will I have for dinner? That blemish is probably cancer.
What the hell kind of fortune is that? Sallah's not a fortune teller, he's more of a hypnotist.
He instills an overwhelming feeling of dread into anyone who activates him.
Okay, so, how do I beat him, then? You have to actively ignore him.
Like I do with Artie? Yep.
So, I'm not going to die? Not on Sallah's timetable, anyway.
Yeah? Claudia, I need you to hack into the Ithaca power grid.
Do it now! I'm about to become dinner.
Okay, doing it.
Nope.
Okay, I'm in, now what? All right, they're sensitive to light.
Okay? Can you make it bright out here? Say no more.
Here comes the sun.
Manny, Manny, you open this door! How do I know you're not one of them? Damn, circuits blew.
Manny, open the door or they're going to eat me alive! What the hell's going on? What's wrong with those people? Something in this truck turned them into cannibals.
That's why they spiked my tires? Because they want to eat me? Where'd you get this? I was hiking in Utah, I saw it buried in the ground, I thought it would be a nice souvenir.
Myka put money in here.
Did those, did those workers tip you? Yeah, I should've put it out sooner.
Yeah, this is it.
This is the artifact.
Damn it, I don't have any static bags! What the hell's a static bag? Oh, man, I'm not supposed to do this! Cover your eyes! Myka? Please tell me I didn't eat anyone.
Okay.
I don't know what you two did.
But nice work.
In the winter of 1846, a caravan of men, women, and children stranded in the Sierra Nevada Mountains were forced to resort to the most extreme measures just to survive.
Somehow the horrific ordeals of the Donner Party imbued an ordinary jar with the power to make others experience what they were suffering.
And putting money in the jar triggered it.
Why? Well, interesting sidebar, the jar was one of several the survivors used to bury their money.
Even in the grim shadow of death.
They were putting a little something away for a rainy day.
Where's Pete? Oh, he's waiting for us at the Univille Diner.
It's all-you-can-eat pancakes.
Breakfast is on him.
Fine, but he's leaving his own damn tip.
I'll be right back.
Thank you.
So, for our opening number I'm thinking either Hole or The Clash.
I thought you were marked for death.
Yeah, no more than anyone else, apparently.
Listen, Dwayne, this is the warning label on Claudia Donovan, okay? Stuff happens to me a lot.
Sometimes weird stuff, sometimes bad stuff, but it puts things in perspective.
I never know what fresh hell tomorrow's going to bring, so if you still want me to join your band, um Then let's rock.
I'm going to finish this set.
All right? Don't move.
Just, right here.
Hey, one more.
Hold the water.
Your card's been declined.
Son of a They cut off my credit line, too.
Whatever.
Look, I'm going to need you to settle your tab.
Put it on mine and give me one of the same.
Oh, hey, thanks, but I don't need Ah, come on.
I've been there.
Trust me.
We could all use a friend sometime, right? All right, well Thanks.
Anytime.
Steve.
Have we met before? Almost.
Couple weeks back.
Down in Atlanta.
You're with Stukowsky.
Well, she's no longer with us, unfortunately.
Bit of a wild card.
Sally liked you.
Yeah, well, I'm Agent Steve Jinks, former ATF, former Warehouse 13 now burned by Mrs.
Frederick and the Regents because you dared to have scruples.
No career, no prospects, no future.
I know what they did.
Now who are you, what do you want? Marcus Diamond.
And, uh We want you, Steve.
You people are murderers.
No, no.
We defend ourselves.
Besides, you saw what your former friends are capable of.
Come work with me.
Now why would I work for you? Besides not having to rely on the kindness of strangers to cover your bar tabs? You're good.
You should be working with the kind of people who can appreciate a man of your talents.
But Obviously you are not interested.
Good luck, Steve.
Marcus.
