Orphan Black (2013) s04e01 Episode Script

1 - Cloned.
- Genetic identicals.
Yeah we count nine of us so far.
When Beth died, I took her identity.
You're her monitor.
You observe her.
And she killed herself because the man that she loved turned her whole life into a lie! Who the hell is Maggie Chen? Uh, that's the woman Beth shot.
Neolution gives us the opportunity at self-directed evolution.
Wherever you think the science is at, I guarantee you're wrong.
[Grunting.]
They haven't just infiltrated Leda.
They run Castor, too, both projects.
I hate Neolutionists.
I'll assume you have a plan to hide your dear mum? - We might.
- Good.
Far away.
I don't need to know where.
[Suspenseful music plays.]
[Both breathing heavily.]
[Gasping.]
[Breathing rapidly.]
[Breathes sharply.]
[Vibrating.]
[Sighs.]
[Cellphone beeps.]
Hello? I saw them the cheek choppers.
M.
K.
? [Breathing heavily.]
- Follow the coordinates.
- What? Remember Don't trust anyone next to you.
Beth who's that? [Cellphone beeps.]
No one.
[Sighs.]
[Water running.]
[Cellphone chimes.]
When is this? - [Knocking.]
- You all right? Yeah, I'm fine.
[Inhales deeply.]
Sorry.
A tip from a source.
What time will I see you later? Why? I want to make you dinner.
Being a cop in your own bedroom again? Yeah, it's a problem.
But dinner would be nice, yeah.
Go easy out there.
[Door opens, closes.]
[Cellphone chimes.]
[Breathes sharply.]
[Birds chirping.]
[Police radio chatter.]
The call came in the middle of the night? What kind of anonymous tip brings you all the way out here? Hell if I know.
You think it's one of your C.
I.
s? I I didn't recognize his voice.
Did you get any sleep at all? You look like shit.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-Hey.
-Body bag.
Janis: Tidy, huh? Of a brand widely used by mortuary and emergency services.
Shall we open our present? -Yeah.
-Yeah.
Okay.
Well, that's cheeky.
Cause of death? I have to go with exploding cigar.
Good.
Case closed.
Huh.
That's mildly interesting.
Wait a minute.
Just one? Yeah.
[Sighs.]
Ink.
Thanks, gorgeous.
I just want to know your name.
[Gasps.]
Well, damn.
You ever seen one of those before? Surgically bifurcated penis.
- He did that to himself? - Mm-hmm.
But I don't see any advantage to that.
Perhaps it's a statement of masculine/feminine duality, Arthur.
No, it isn't.
Okay.
So, our guy's into body mods, so is that what the cheek's about? Oh, the cheek's been rather skillfully removed, but I see signs of a struggle.
Hey, Janis, can you Yeah.
His good side.
[Cellphone beeps.]
Got footprints two sets coming in.
One size small, one size giant.
Big one does all the heavy lifting.
Smaller one's a woman, maybe? Hey, you're hungry, right? How could you tell? Fung's? See you there.
Yeah.
[Sighs.]
[Cellphone rings.]
[Cellphone beeps.]
You're up early.
Dude, you need to talk to Alison.
Why? What's going on? [Sighs.]
I need to pay my tuition.
I'm changing schools for you guys.
If the money's not in the account today, I'm sorry, but your sick German's gonna have to wait till next semester.
Alison will pay, all right? Don't Don't worry about that.
She wants an expense report.
[Chuckles.]
I'll talk to her, okay? Yeah, well, can you hurry? 'Cause I'm technically homeless, and I just split up with my girlfriend.
Everything else okay? Not really.
You ever heard the one about the lesbian and the U-Haul? Uh Never mind.
Forget it.
I want answers, Beth.
I know there's a shitload you're not telling us.
I'll know more soon, all right? All you need to do is travel safe, okay, Cosima? I'll see you soon.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Whatever.
Okay.
See you.
- Okay.
- [Cellphone beeps.]
[Thunder rumbles.]
Art: We used to talk through our personal shit all the time.
I got cop problems.
In a shit relationship.
Maybe you remember your divorce.
Yeah.
I remember that you were there for me when I needed you.
I don't need you yet.
Let me just get a handle on it first.
What about the pills? Hmm? They got a close eye on you.
Yeah, I'm aware I'm a crappy cop.
Thing is, you're not.
You just had a rough couple months.
[Scoffs.]
God, what is it that's got you so twisted up? Hmm? Is it just Paul? [Sighs.]
It's my shit.
Don't take it on.
[Footsteps approaching.]
Hey.
[Chuckling.]
So, what's up with the mutilated face and modified dick? [Chuckles.]
I'm sure you're gonna hazard a guess, Angie.
That shit is darkly sexual.
[Chuckles.]
You guys always catch the weird ones.
It's mathematically unfair.
[Breathes deeply.]
So, how you doing, Beth? I'm great, Angie.
Thanks.
Should we go? Yeah.
[Sighs.]
She's shaky, dude.
She's fine.
[Indistinct conversations.]
I'll catch up with you.
Yeah.
Look, Constable, I only popped 'round for a drink.
The bar at the Highcroft is very classy all the bartenders in their little matador jackets.
You were arrested there for solicitation six months ago, as well.
But I was released without charge.
Only this time, we caught your Bay Street blowboy, too.
Well, now I'm confused.
Is that a sexual or narcotic reference? Possession, solicitation, public urination That's nice.
That was a performance piece, - and I never should have been charged.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Raj, you're gonna [chuckling.]
kill somebody here.
Thanks, Beth.
Straight up, I need a favor with this Paul shit I've been telling you about.
Yeah? You're gonna break up with him? - I think he's cheating on me.
- Oh.
Think I could borrow a little surveillance gear on the D.
L.
? Uh, yeah.
Thanks, man.
So, what's the deal? Someone drop this in your lap? Yeah.
Anonymous tip to my work cell.
I'm waiting on a trace.
Yeah, between the tattoos and the body mods, I'll have an I.
D.
soon.
I'm gonna shake up some sources, see if it's somebody I know.
That cool? She making her meetings? Yes.
[Brakes squeal.]
Masks.
M.
K.
? Anybody home? M.
K.
: In the back.
Mika? Right here.
This again? I thought we were meeting in person this time.
Put the mask on.
I'm not wearing this stupid mask.
Why aren't you here? You drove your car.
I told you Always come on foot.
You're not scared enough.
You convinced me my boyfriend's a spy.
I Is that not enough for you? - [ Beeping.]
- Mm.
You have three minutes.
Could you at least take off the mask? You said face-to-face.
[ Sighs.]
There.
It's a nice face.
So, tell me about this body.
What did you see? I saw Neolution.
So, this is the guy the guy you met online? I'm not stupid.
I never met him.
I just watched.
His name was Basspair86.
- So, he's Neolution? - No.
Well, yes, but n-no.
He's just a tadpole.
Neos put their ideas in these stupid tadpoles' heads so they can experiment on them.
Did you tell the others about me? I never reveal a source.
That's why you brought me into this in the first place, isn't it? But you told them what they are.
Yeah.
They deserve to know.
It puts them in danger.
You've got to get it.
The only reason I'm alive is because they think I'm dead.
Neos are everywhere.
I tracked one into your bed.
I tracked one into the police.
It might even be your partner.
Art's not a spy.
You know what? Screw this.
No, Beth, please.
Please don't leave.
I don't have many friends.
Well, then we need each other.
I'll do the legwork, but go back to these cheek choppers.
Black female, white male.
Where did they kill Basspair86? An ambulance.
An ambulance? It's getting harder for them to hide.
Their secrets squeeze out through these stupid tadpoles, so start at the bottom Club Neolution.
[ Timer beeps.]
Time's up.
Mika, you You can meet us in person.
You don't have to do this alone.
[Sighs.]
Tracked down the tattoos.
Our vic's name is Edward Capra.
Capra.
Okay.
Yeah, I got an address.
I got parents to visit.
What do you got? An online handle.
Mr.
Capra might go by "Basspair86.
" Tell me something How the hell do you know that? Uh, I'm busy out here, all right? Tell Raj to check the body-mod forums.
Tell him I said he's good at that.
[Techno music plays.]
Can I help you? Yeah, I'm, uh, looking to have my breasts surgically modified into, like, corkscrews.
Mm.
Yeah, and unfortunately, we're members only.
Hmm, hmm.
Detective Childs.
Oh, yeah.
Yes.
And they're riding nicely on your hips, too.
Mm-hmm.
[Chuckles.]
I knew you'd love this piece.
[Cellphone rings.]
Olivier Duval.
Astrid: Yeah, it's Astrid.
There's a cop upstairs.
I'm busy.
What's his name? Her name is Childs.
[Breathes deeply.]
Down, down, down in the dragon's den Never see the light of day again Miss all of your friends, living in the pigpen Know he's gonna eat you, but you don't know when Down, down, down in the dragon's den Never see the light of day again Miss all of your friends, living in the pigpen Did you guess that I was a cop, too? Yeah.
Down, down, down in the dragon's den Implants.
Magnets.
So, she implants magnets in fingers? She implants lots of things in lots of places.
Totally out of the blue, does she ever bifurcate dicks? That's an alteration, not an implant.
Ah.
Right.
I see the distinction.
So, are magnets, like, a Neolution thing attract, repel? Neolution is just an ethos.
Like, about creating yourself.
Individual evolutionary choice.
Beth: It's also kind of cool.
Yeah.
Totally cool.
Do you know a guy named Edward Capra, by any chance? No.
No? This guy here.
What happened? Well, I'm Homicide, so somebody hastened his demise.
Anybody cares about this guy, they should get in contact with me.
Congratulations.
- Alison: Hello? - I'm here, Alison.
Where are you? I sent a courier.
How do I put bullets in this thing? You don't.
You wait until I teach you how to use it, okay? I just want to blast something right now.
Yeah, I know that feeling.
How's Paul? We're great.
No, you're not.
I can hear it in your voice.
[Sighing.]
Ohh.
Well, we're fine, but Shit.
Is this A flower guy? Yes.
I arranged them myself.
His name is Ramone.
- Ramone? - Yeah.
Delivery from Mrs.
Hendrix.
Oh.
You, uh, must be her sister.
Yeah, we're related.
Yeah.
Oh.
[Grunts.]
Here you go.
Uh, there's There's a card in there.
Okay.
Good-looking family.
Mm.
Horny little bastard.
These are nice, though.
Frosted greens, muted orange.
I can't stand those garish tropicals everyone's using.
I couldn't spare too many helpers, but It's okay.
This little bottle's the other thing? Mm-hmm.
Really hope it's not yours.
God, no.
It's my daughter's.
Please don't mix it up with anything.
I won't.
I won't.
Okay.
You repeat after me.
[Sighs.]
"I promise that I will not gun up until Beth has shown me basic firearms safety.
" - I promise.
- [Gun clicks.]
And "I promise to put Cosima's tuition and airfare into her account this afternoon.
" Yes, fine, fine.
But you have to administer the funds from now on.
I can't keep running off to the bank at a moment's notice.
Thanks, Alison.
- Toodles.
- Toodles.
[Cellphone beeps.]
[Engine starts.]
Olivier.
Olivier, just tell Paul to take her on a holiday.
Olivier: Their relationship is disintegrating.
Paul has neither influence or insight left.
[Breathes deeply.]
Beth needs a new monitor.
There's no other candidate in place.
Aldous, she just walked into my club, and I can't tell if it was a coincidence or not.
Well, how could you? It's police business.
I have other levers.
- You do? - Of course.
- Leave it with me.
- [Cellphone beeps.]
Is there a problem? [Sighs.]
I would say so.
One of my subjects seems to have exhumed one of yours.
I beg your pardon? Dr.
Leekie? Wow.
This is an honor.
A detective studying biotechnology.
Yeah, truthfully, I'm just cramming.
Mm.
You are wanted, Aldous.
So, I understand that your followers wear a single white contact lens Is that right? I wouldn't call them followers.
Right.
Well, I have a victim of foul play who was wearing one white contact lens, so Do you know an Edward Capra? No, I'm sorry.
No? So, this guy had some pretty serious body mod going on.
Not exactly this crowd, but your Freaky Leekies really ran with the ball, didn't they? Neolution is an open-source concept.
We embrace the fringes.
They're fiction to our science.
Well, your book inspires them to play God to tinker on themselves in basement labs.
Every scientific discovery in history, including God, began with tinkering in a basement.
God was a scientific discovery? A little joke.
We're all impatient for the future.
Excuse me.
One more thing.
Mr.
Capra had his cheek cut out post-mortem.
Can you think of any reason for that? No.
That's horrifying.
It certainly is.
I'm Evie Cho.
Hello.
And, uh, how are you connected? I'm not.
Alas, we can't help you, Detective.
I'm so sorry.
You must absorb a tremendous amount of pain in your work.
Comes with the territory.
Yes.
The paths we choose.
That was a Leda clone, wasn't it? You know, I've never seen one in person.
I'll steer her away.
You look after your end, Evie.
Woman: Please welcome to the stage Dr.
Aldous Leekie.
[Applause.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
Hey, I got a text.
Where's Art? Man: Boardroom.
Hey, what's up? I got called in.
I got the trace from your tip.
You did? That That's crazy.
I've been calling all day.
Number was activated and used only once a burner.
Okay.
So Could be random.
Could be someone you know.
Either way, you're off the case.
What? - Are you serious? - Beth.
No, no, no, no.
That's bullshit.
That's my case.
They called me, Lieutenant.
That's an order.
[Door opens.]
Mike.
Can I see you for a second? Yeah.
It's a thing upstairs.
Right up.
[Sighs.]
See union rep.
Why? Oh.
Piss test.
I should have known.
[Sighs.]
Xan Yip female, 46.
[Chuckling.]
Fugitive foreign national.
Shit.
My back hurts from turning over rocks already.
Are you even gonna pass? Yeah, I'm gonna pass.
[Door closes.]
Sorry.
I'm here to make sure it's fair for you.
[Indistinct conversations.]
Hey, Beth.
Hey, Raj.
What's up? Got your hard-shell cases.
This is the stuff you wanted, right? Geez, you really came through for me, man.
[Dramatic music plays.]
[Whirs.]
[Camera beeps.]
[Slow classical music plays.]
[Inhales deeply.]
[Door closes.]
Hey.
Hey, yourself.
You look nice.
You have a good day? No.
Shit.
You know, if things are so bad at work, I was thinking I have some weeks banked.
You take a leave, and we'll take a holiday.
A holiday? Sure.
How about Barbados? How about we just lock the door and drink and screw for like two months? No, we're not gonna solve our problems like that.
We're not gonna solve our problems at all.
I can't breed.
Yeah, I made it clear I can live without kids.
So did I.
I made it clear all I really need is a lover who can look me in the eyes.
Can you look at me? Look at me.
Can you see me? Can you knit me together or just tear me apart? Stop it.
What do you want? - Hmm? - Hmm? Touch me.
Touch me.
Come on.
You're supposed to reach inside me.
Come on.
Kiss me.
Kiss me.
Kiss me.
Kiss me.
- Beth.
- Kiss me.
Beth, just Kiss me for real.
Please.
- Just stop.
- [Breathes shakily.]
Why are you doing this? Do you realize how paranoid that sounds? Yes.
[Breathes sharply.]
You're hollow, Paul.
There's nothing inside.
I filled you in with hunches.
And all I know for sure is you won't protect me.
You're right.
Just tell me what you want.
Do you want this to end? This is all for you.
You say it's over, and it's over.
You end it, you coward! [Door slams.]
[ Pulsing.]
[ Neighing.]
[ Pulsing.]
[Knock on door.]
[Sighs.]
Beth.
I come in peace.
Are you all right? Hey, Maya.
Hi, Beth.
Can I just watch TV with you guys? That's it.
Just that.
That's all I need.
All right, Maya.
It's time for bed.
- Da-a-a-d.
- Come on, now.
Come give Beth a hug.
[Chuckles.]
- Good night.
- Good night.
Don't let the bed buddies bite.
Let's go.
Man: A government bill to crack down on laboratory experiments on animals is expected to become law today.
Animal-rights activists have been pushing for the bill for nine years, taking part in massive [Television clicks off.]
Hold me there.
What is happening with you? Look at me.
See me.
Whatever it is Just say it.
Beth.
[Cellphone vibrating.]
[Cellphone beeps.]
- [Techno music plays.]
- Detective Childs.
Trina: It's Trina.
What? Sorry.
Who? Uh, Trina.
Do you remember me? [Music continues, indistinct shouting.]
One second.
I'm sorry.
It's so loud in here.
Can you hear me? Hey, Trina.
Hey, uh, we spoke today at Club Neolution.
Oh, of course.
Yeah, of course I remember.
What's up? I'm, uh I'm worried about my boyfriend, Aaron.
He left to go meet these hard-core Neos.
Okay.
Who are they? I, uh I don't know.
They came here to the club a black girl and a white guy.
I'm gonna call you from the car, okay? [Cellphone beeps.]
They're going to Aaron's lab.
Chinatown is where all the biohackers are.
Okay.
I'm close.
Why would he let them implant something in his cheek? They said it was a biometric study.
A dentist inserted this tiny little grain, and now It's growing.
Okay, well, I'm gonna make sure he's all right, okay? So, I'm in the tunnel.
Now where do I go? Okay, around the corner, you'll see the building.
You have to go up the fire escape to the third floor.
Okay.
I'm gonna call you back, all right? [Door closes.]
Aaron: I can't do it anymore.
I'm sorry.
That's not pointing back to you.
Man: It's not up to us.
Have you even tried to take it out? - I don't really know what - Shh! Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh.
Just please.
Please just get it out.
Okay, then.
Hop up.
At least he didn't try to take it out himself, like Mr.
Capra.
That's tampering, and it's well covered in the contract.
[Breathing heavily.]
- [Air hissing.]
- Go on.
Go under.
When you wake up, it'll all be gone.
[Gasping.]
He had to go.
God damn it.
Did you even try to talk him out of it? He wouldn't listen to reason.
They're not gonna be happy about any of this.
Can you see? Do you need more light? It's good.
It's right there.
Careful.
Lifting it off.
[Gasping.]
[Clatter.]
[Panting.]
[Door opens.]
[Gasps.]
Woman: [Choking.]
[Choking continues.]
[Breathing heavily.]
[Choking.]
[Gasps.]
[Coughing.]
[Breathing heavily.]
[Sobs.]
[Cellphone ringing, vibrating.]
[Cellphone beeps.]
Beth? Beth: I messed up bad, Art.
[Siren wailing, police radio chatter.]
[Indistinct conversations.]
- Margaret Chen.
- No idea? Beth? [Distorted voice.]
I shot a civilian.
[Normal voice.]
I shot a civilian, Art.
[Siren wailing.]
[Police radio chatter.]
[Sighs.]
They're gonna take you to I.
A.
to be formally interviewed.
I don't know who she is.
I don't know.
You saw a gun.
No, I didn't.
You saw a gun! Okay, do you hear me? Now get your story straight.
You've got to do this.
We can do this.
Do you hear me? I'll get you through it.
Beth: [Crying.]
They'll take you down now to get your statement.
This is Detective Duko.
He's with the union.
Don't you worry, Detective.
I'll be with you the whole time.
[Knock on door.]
You sure you weren't followed? Yeah, and I I ditched the car.
Don't worry.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know where else to go.
Tea.
I'll make some iced tea.
Beth: You were right Neos are everywhere.
Duko's with the police union.
The guy's supposed to protect me.
I'm screwed.
Who do I trust now? God, no wonder you live like this.
Sorry.
I didn't mean That came out wrong.
[Sighs.]
M.
K.
, what was the thing they pulled out of the kid's face? I don't know.
But we'll find out.
How?! I shot somebody! They're gonna take away my badge! You warned me.
I should have [Sighs.]
I should have never told Cosima or Alison.
I dragged my partner into it, too.
I screwed him two different ways.
35 milliliters crystals to 275 milliliters water.
Christ, this is my life now.
Can't even think anymore.
I'll think now.
I usually think all night.
[Cellphone ringing, vibrating.]
[Cellphone beeps.]
Hello? Art: Hey, it's Art.
Did I wake you? Who is it? - I, uh - Go Hold on a second.
Go to bed, babe.
It's still early.
I'm sorry.
I know it's the middle of the night.
Yeah.
Art, what's going on? Yeah, well, I got no clue, but there's someone I think you need to talk to.
Sarah Manning, m my name is M.
K.
I knew Beth.
Neolution knows where you are.
They're coming for Kendall Malone.
How do you know that? Listen to me, Sarah.
You need to run right now.
Step back.
- I've gotta keep her on the move.
- They all want a piece of me.
I need you to tell me Delphine's alive.
It felt like she knew something bad was going to happen.
Alison, why are you here? You haven't been answering your calls, Mister.
- This is the point of no return.
- You're playing my wife.
- Mr.
and Mrs.
Hendrix? - (both): Yes? - Get off! - Where the hell are you going? Back to the beginning of all this shit.
