Orphan Black (2013) s04e06 Episode Script

1 Hello, Ms.
Goderitch.
- What happened to your voice? - Nothing.
This is my truth voice.
She's more than suspicious.
She's investigating the shit.
She's starting to piece it together.
Krystal is a naive subject.
She has some delusions about her circumstance, but she's harmless.
We gotta keep her on the move.
I thought my DNA was supposed to make you better.
It takes time to develop a therapy.
- You don't want to go sticking your head out for the Hendrixes.
- And why is that? - He said they're dealing pills out of Bubbles.
- I created you as a beautiful baseline.
I don't see any alternative.
The carriers? The device in Sarah? But share the Original's genome, and together, we can make a cure.
Beth, what the hell are you doing? Now, you're off the case, but you keep digging and digging - and digging.
- You can do this.
(Ding!) - (piano music playing) - (indistinct conversations) (man): Your ID, please.
(Beep!) - Your ID, please.
- (Beep!) (Beep!) (Beep!) Ma'am, your ID.
- (Beep!) - Thank you.
I'm glad that morale is good.
Two dead test subjects in as many weeks is not.
- We've got it under control.
- What good are your implants if patients keep tearing them out? (indistinct conversations) Thank you.
Oh, dear! - Here, Susan.
- Uh, never mind, I'll just go find some place to wash up.
(muffled piano music playing) Susan Duncan? I know you.
I know everything.
(theme music) Are you ready to meet our Original? After all these years, - I feel electric.
- When it's done, when I have my cure Perhaps we could go back to Tristan da Cunha.
The summer you rescued me from Yale.
I was researching the pathogenesis of rare disorders.
- You remember? - I remember the villa.
- With a lovely topaz roof.
- It was red.
Of course.
What was the name of the town nearby? You're testing me.
I'm not glitching.
I'm sorry.
It's been two months since your last cognitive exam.
Hook me up right now.
Test me if you like.
We won't ever have to test you again.
So long as Sarah listens to reason.
Cosima, are we seriously considering handing over Kendall's genetic material? Susan gets to restart human cloning with new lab rats to study the genome, and in return, you get that bot out of your face and we get to collaborate on a cure.
Aren't you and Scott well on your way to that? The last viral vector didn't work.
And even if the next one does I may not have that much time, Sarah.
OK.
So what are you gonna tell Siobhan? (Sarah sighing) She's just gonna say no, so I think we set it up first.
- Are you sure? - Yeah.
It's not her life, is it? It's our decision.
But we can't help them cure Castor.
If we give the Neos Kendall's genome, they'll have the sterilizing pathogen again.
(Cosima sighing) I may have a workaround, but you're not gonna like it.
(indistinct chatter) And I'm trying to, like, change my life right now.
Like, I shouldn't have to live my life that way.
I need protective custody now because if DYAD doesn't get me, then Brightborn definitely will.
Alright.
Can I have your name, please? Krystal Goderitch.
- With a K in Krystal, obviously.
- Of course I'm available, but you can't call me here.
What kind of attitude did you expect? Hey.
- Can I have a pen? - Mother or mistress, huh? What are you doing, Arthur? Nothing, I just wanted to, uh want to thank you for warning me about the Hendrixes.
You're welcome.
Just, uh, just stay out of it.
- I'll do that.
- Are you taking - any medications, ma'am? - No.
God, everyone thinks I'm crazy.
- Or they try to get my number.
- You know what, Constable, why don't I handle that for you? Hi.
Detective Bell, homicide.
Krystal Goderitch, manicurist.
Why don't we take this somewhere more private.
You're the boss.
So I was kept in this room for, like, an hour.
And then, they just gave me free samples.
Like, you can you believe that? Like, I'm a whistleblower; I'm not gonna just, like, be paid off with free samples.
OK, wait, wait.
Let's just back off for one second, OK? - Certainly.
- These people after you They're targeting beauty professionals.
R-right.
Yeah.
And some of us know what they're actually doing, which is hoarding patents in stem-cell cosmetics and totally testing on human beings.
Like, I'm against animal testing.
- OK.
- Humans is, like, too far.
- Do you know what I mean? - Right.
Does "Leda" mean anything to you? Yeah, I love their eyeliner.
OK.
Dark Confidant and Time Walk are key.
I never play without them anymore.
Most people think rare cards must be awesome.
Not so.
Tell your son to play the game, not the markets.
Stop pestering my driver! - No smoking.
- (driver): Here you go.
OK.
Siobhan.
I'm glad you're here.
You're alright, Ma? Because you're being really nice.
It's about my other daughters.
I'll let Cosima explain.
Sarah Manning, welcome to Brightborn.
You're Evie Cho, right? I'm gonna pass on the tour; Cosima doesn't recommend it.
- Did you come alone? - No.
Got an army outside.
If I'm not out in 20 minutes, your Original takes an acid bath.
You understand? Then, we better hurry.
Susan's waiting.
Susan Duncan? Yeah, that's the same look Leekie gave me.
I'm sorry.
It's just strange to see an unfamiliar face.
Is that a joke? No.
You're a mystery to me, I like that.
Christ! A Castor.
Actually, I'm a Libra.
This is Ira, my assistant.
- A breed apart.
- From what? Dobermans? I'm nothing like my brothers, Ms.
Manning.
You're safe here.
Sarah, please sit.
Before we discuss Kendall, I wanna know what this thing's doing to me.
The devices do different things for different subjects.
For instance, you mentioned Aldous Leekie.
He had one treating a genetic predisposition for Alzheimer's.
But what's mine doing? It's making you sick.
You're immune to the disease.
By activating specific genes, we hoped - to isolate the illness.
- Apparently, it hasn't - flipped off the right switch yet.
- Why? 'Cause I'm healthy? - Because you're alive.
- We could have it out, we can start work on a cure today, if you just share Kendall.
Only her unique biology makes you and cloning possible.
Those same cells could give you the Castor pathogen.
So Cosima's come up with a solution.
What kind of solution? Kendall Malone has cancer.
Leukemia.
Ma, you should have you should have told me.
And seeing that look for the rest of my life? But we we can we could get a doctor.
I mean someone we can trust - obviously - Chicken, it's too late.
And it's not your choice.
Cosima, tell her what you told me.
Uh, Kendall's cancer might actually save us.
Kendall's a chimera, right? Half her cells are Castor; the other half are Leda.
No way to tell which was which.
Until now.
So you have all these white blood cells and one of them goes nuts and starts multiplying like crazy.
Millions of cancer cells.
All of those are clones of that first white blood cell.
And luckily for us, the first one It's just got Leda, right? The Leda genome.
Yeah, exactly.
So, if we isolate those leukemia cells, we don't give them Castor; we only give them Leda.
An ingenious solution.
- She's good, your sister.
- Self-made.
Well, I can see an obvious problem.
You're a biological weapon, mate.
We're not saving Castor.
Susan? Fetch me a hard drive, please.
Ira, please.
I accept your terms, but I want to be there when the samples are taken from Kendall.
- I thought you might.
- And I want Cosima's research on the disease transferred to my hard drive.
She's closer to it than anyone; I think that her insights will be valuable.
You're not the first Leda to make it this far, you know? - What are you talking about? - Ira.
Beth? Beth thought she found her enemy; she was wrong.
I hope you don't make the same mistake she did.
Put your hands up.
- How did you find me? - I'm a cop, I have resources.
I figured it out.
You're the head of the snake; you're where this all ends.
You're mistaken.
I'm your creator.
- I'm invested - Shut up! Your mother's name is Ruth, isn't it? - Yes.
- Kind woman.
Wanted a daughter more than anything.
I was happy to oblige.
We had no idea about your father.
We screened for tendencies like that.
Somehow, he got through.
I'm sorry.
Stop it! You manipulate us.
Turn around! We guide you! I saw you graduate.
You recall? - Get on your knees.
- You polished - that badge to a mirror shine.
- I said, get down! Why are you doing this? If I kill you, it's over.
The monitors, the testing, the lies! You control Neolution! No one controls the idea! Kill me and someone will take my place, but they will not protect you as I have! Protect us from what? From my own mistakes.
Beth, whatever you think you know, you must believe this: I have devoted my life to sustaining yours.
Without me, your sisters will wither on the vine, and I cannot bear that.
I love you all.
- I love you.
- Close your eyes.
(gasping) We knew Beth was in deep, but trying to kill Susan Duncan So what stopped her? Look at her.
Another one who thought she could do it all on her own.
We had to make a deal, S.
You bartered my mother behind my back.
Cosima needs a cure.
I need this bot out of my face.
- It's trying to make me sick, S.
- Not just your necks on the line though, is it, Sarah? - Kendall agreed to it.
- (Siobhan sighs.
) I just got her back.
Mum - I'm sorry.
- I will do my part.
I'll keep Susan honest and everyone safe, but this is the wrong play, Sarah.
You're putting us all at risk.
You'll meet Scott at Fee's in an hour.
Bring Benjamin.
Leekie's Alzheimer's bot is looking a little peaked.
Suppose we should feed it blood, like Little Shop of Horrors.
Yeah 'cause that ended well.
OK, here it is; one terabyte of data, three months of blood, sweat and fluid samples, two relationships, one missing soulmate.
Well, Shay was a rebound, so one-and-a-half relationships.
One and three quarters tops.
(Cosima chuckles.
) I just don't know if sharing this is a win or Surrender? We would have cracked it, if we had the time.
Yeah.
- Yeah, let's do this.
- Yeah.
Leda is everything.
- I wish you'd understand.
- I do understand.
You need your girls to build a better human.
My life is expendable.
Oh, please, don't talk like that.
I don't want to die, Susan.
I want to be with you.
(Susan sighs.
) I will find a way for you as well.
I promise.
You believe me? - Sarah, I don't get it.
- I'm sorry, Art.
I think when Beth couldn't pull the trigger on Susan, - she just couldn't live with it.
- No, I watched that video a hundred times.
The wig, the gun, and then she comes back again? I mean, if she didn't shoot anybody - Why the blood on her hands? - Exactly.
(knocking on door) OK.
Yeah, well, what about this thing here? Krystal thinks Vidal Sassoon is after her.
Krystal? Shit.
Uh, I'll get Fee to call you, alright? He's got a way with that.
OK.
You're sure you and Cosima don't need backup at Brightborn? No, we've got it covered.
I should be bot-less in an hour.
Sarah, you watch your back.
This is what killed Beth.
Arthur, this is a harebrained scheme.
Who would buy it? Actually, Krystal.
OK, yeah, fine.
I'll be there soon.
- (door sliding shut) - Susan's en route.
You call me when you're done with the hairdresser.
She's an esthetician.
We need to keep the situation under control, Fee.
Just promise me that Adele is not gonna walk in.
It's a moot point; she went home.
Felix, when this is all done, bring her back.
I want the whole family here for Ma.
Everyone.
Kendall's a tough old badger, Mum.
- (Siobhan sighs.
) - OK? She's still - got time.
- They're coming up.
Yeah.
They're here.
- Are you all set? - Ready to separate the Original's cells.
Just need one Original.
(knocking twice) - Ma, showtime.
- (toilet flushing) Mrs.
Malone, it's an honour.
Maybe this isn't such a good idea after all.
Hey, we're gonna get that thing out of your face.
Uh-huh.
OK? Then I'll take you for ice cream, if you're good.
The extraction is safe, but delicate.
We'll put you under.
You'll sleep right through it.
- No.
Not her.
- Why not? I can still taste your partner's fingers in my mouth.
Yeah, I'm assisting.
Got your back.
You can watch Scott work from there.
Take a seat.
- Thank you.
- (cell dinging) Cosima says they've started.
Last needle, I promise.
Do you know why your biology is so unique, Mrs.
Malone? Just my bloody luck.
Yes, you're a true anomaly.
The only clonable subject my husband ever found.
No wonder he hid your identity so well.
Hid me from the likes of you.
Ethan saw the best in people; I see the most.
And right now, you are the most valuable person in the world.
(Cosima): What are the striations? Nerves? Neuromorphic grid, biofeedback, not hardcoding.
- More resilient that way.
- So it has instincts? - Uhh! - Sorry.
- Syringe.
- Yeah.
The implant reacts to heat and pressure variants.
This enzyme neutralizes those receptors, puts it to sleep.
No toxic failsafe.
Forceps.
There you go.
You're doing really well, Sarah.
Almost there.
Ah? It's leaking toxin.
I can't extract without rupturing it.
You're OK.
OK, we plug the leak, right? - Yes.
- Just breathe, Sarah.
If that toxin hits her bloodstream, she's dead.
OK.
Here I go.
Don't move.
Don't move.
It's tearing.
Now or never.
- Don't move.
- Careful.
OK.
Alright, now pull it out very, very carefully.
Do it slowly, slowly.
Good.
Good job.
Great.
Great.
(Sarah spitting) You said it was safe.
You must have damaged it trying to remove it.
Hey, you did it.
Uh-huh.
I'm ready to aspirate the cancer cells.
I'm so sorry.
You're getting what you want, aren't you? I'd spit, but she'd probably bottle it.
(phone ringing) - Siobhan: What's happening? - It's out.
I'm coming.
- Get Kendall on the move.
- OK.
- Is Cosima still with Evie? - She'll leave Brightborn as soon as Susan has her samples.
OK.
Finish up, Scott.
You're done, Ma.
Benjamin! Before you leave, Mrs.
Malone, I want to thank you.
You won't live to see it, but you have given us all a better future.
Let's go.
Uh, I'll see you later, Ma.
You you did good.
Watch her.
It's not over.
You got that lighter? Yeah.
Wham! I popped that husky masseur right onto his behind.
But he must have had backup or something, and she must have had a green belt 'cause she had me in an arm lock before I could even block it.
- (knocking on door) - OK.
- Is that your guy? - Listen, just relax, OK? This guy knows more about this than anybody alive.
Hello! - What the hell are you wearing? - What? International intrigue lacks flair.
Look, I just need to know that you can do this, alright? I don't want her to rabbit on us.
She's not gonna rabbit, OK? It's gonna be fine.
- Krystal.
- Oh, my God! - It's OK.
It's OK.
- Oh, my God! You're that guy who stole my wallet right before I was kidnapped! - Oh, yeah.
- Well, Krystal, this is, uh, Inspector Dawkins.
- From the Yard.
- What yard? - Scotland Yard.
- (Felix): Yes.
Oh! He's a cop from London.
- You said Scotland.
- OK, that's as far as that's gonna go.
Krystal, truth voice.
Right? Do you remember what I said to you the first time we met? - That I wasn't alone.
- That's right, darling.
- And you know our names - Oh my God! - Oh, Jesus! - God, it burns! - Oh, shit! I'm so - Put the mace away! - Put it away! - (Fee): What's wrong with you?! Aaah! Ugh! - You alright, Sarah? - Brilliant.
- Susan.
- Hello, Sarah.
How are you, luv? Been better.
These are done, the samples? Uh, 52 Leda cells.
Just enough for a sustainable line.
Which I will hand over once I get confirmation Cosima is free.
She's remarkable, Cosima.
I wish Rachel had such an inquiring mind.
They're all so different.
- Yeah, you've no idea.
- (Scott): Whoa! Is that bleach? - Are you out of your mind?! - Benjamin! - Thought I smelled trouble.
- You've just destroyed yourself - you stupid girl! - Sarah, you want to tell us what you're doing? Kendall's driver's not answering.
I found her cigarettes in a pool of blood.
Bathroom! - What have you done? - I haven't done anything.
- Bollocks! Where's my mother? - If anything's happened, it wasn't me.
We have to go, S.
Hey, you're coming with us.
And your life depends on what happens next.
Do you understand me? Not just mine.
What about Cosima? She's still at Brightborn.
The power source is metabolic.
From the host's own tissue.
A synthetic ATP chain.
Nature is just a set of spare parts to you, isn't it? I think of it more as a palette.
Your research? Tell me what happened to Delphine Cormier.
Who? The former head of DYAD.
Oh.
Dr.
Cormier of course.
DYAD's not my purview.
I'm sorry, but I knew of her and her dedication to you.
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of.
It's her research on there too, isn't it? I couldn't have done it without her.
What you started together we can all finish with Kendall's genome.
Susan's gone dark.
- What?! What's going on? - (cell phone ringing) - Ugh! - I'm so sorry.
I'm taking self-defense classes, - so it was just like a reflex.
- Oh, is that what happened? - I have Visine in my bag if you want it.
- No, that's all right.
Nothing more from your purse.
Listen, just pull yourself together, OK? She's scared.
Buck up.
(Art sighs.
) (Felix): Oh, God.
Aww, your poor skin.
No, really, it's just a flesh wound.
- I'm so bad.
- Look, Krystal.
You need to know that you figured it out.
It's all true.
All of it.
There is this dirty war being waged on stem-cell technology, trying to control it, that's all being orchestrated by the cosmetic companies.
I knew it.
Yes.
Yeah, all the big players are involved.
Right, Art? - Brightborn, Neolution - What's Neolution? - (Felix): Ummm, uh - They're Swedish.
- Yes, quite European.
- Oh, God.
Look, Krystal, the point is, while the case is still open, you need to just live your life as normally as possible, go home.
They can't know we're onto them.
Uh Our numbers are in here.
For emergencies only though.
Are you OK? I keep Ever since I smacked this French doctor at the DYAD, I just keep injuring people everywhere I go.
I'm so sorry.
Do you mean - Dr.
Delphine Cormier? - Why? Do you know her? Is she involved in this? Well, she's a friend of ours.
What can you tell us about her? I'm so sorry.
Um I saw her get shot.
I saw everything.
No one will find you here.
- Where is she? Where's Kendall? - You think I'd kidnap Kendall and then allow myself - to be taken hostage? - You'll do anything.
You hunted her down for 20 years! - It wasn't me! - It doesn't make sense, - does it? - You actually believe her?! She's got the genome; she doesn't need to do this! But Ira does.
No.
He was there when we made the deal.
- The deal that denied him a cure.
- He wouldn't betray me.
Not even to save his own life? Where would we find him? There's a keycard in my pocket.
We keep rooms at the Palmina's.
708.
You got mama into this; you better get her out.
I'll go with her.
- (Beep!) - (cello music playing) Shit! He's glitching! Hey! Hey, wake up! Where's Kendall? Hello! Where's Kendall? Hey? Oh, shit.
Stupid bugger.
He's OD'ing.
Call 911! (retching sounds) He's a dead-end, Benjamin! Where's Kendall? So how are we doing back here? There you go.
Why am I out here? It won't be long.
If you're too cold, I have a spare blanket.
Nasty business that we're wrapped up in, isn't it? Someone's got the hooks on you.
I've been hunted around the world.
What's your story? I'm just in over my head, lady.
Just like everybody else.
We can help you.
My daughter, she hides people.
How's that working out for you? At least, I can look her in the eye.
You're shivering.
I'll get you that blanket.
Ira tried to kill himself.
Benjamin's watching him at the hospital.
He'd had - his stomach pumped; he's fine.
- Forget about Ira! What have you vipers done with my mother?! - S, that's enough! - (Susan coughing) (cell phone ringing) Scott.
There's some kind of trojan - wiping our research.
- How is that possible? - Your system's offline.
- It had to be introduced in the hard drive from Brightborn.
Sarah, we're done.
Everything is gone.
Cosima's dice has been wiped.
It's a coup.
- Competing technologies.
- I'm sorry, - what's happening? - Whoever did this doesn't care about Kendall's genome; they just want Leda destroyed.
Who? The engineer.
Mrs.
Malone, you should have stayed hidden.
I take it this is the one who has you all twisted up? I'm sorry.
It has to play out like this.
You have your precious Original, let her go! Stay there.
This is compressed triethylaluminum.
Burns at 1200 degrees.
And we've confirmed all her samples are destroyed.
There will be nothing left.
Susan, please, you have to tell us, - where would Evie take Kendall? - Beth.
What are you talking about now? That's why she wanted to kill me.
Beth held a gun to my head.
And Evie put it in her hand.
She didn't do it, Detective Duko.
She left Susan on her knees.
I'm in the car.
Get down here.
- Beth! - You set me up! No, I didn't.
You said you wanted to put an end to this, to free your sisters.
By killing the head of Neolution.
She made us.
She needs us.
Not you.
You just want to take her place.
- It's not happening! - Oh, it is.
I'll find another way.
Susan's done.
- Just like your sisters.
- Don't talk about my sisters.
Beth, you know too much now.
If you run, Neolution will cauterize your life.
Alison, - Cosima, your parents, Paul.
- Then I'll pull - the trigger right now.
- You won't end it.
You want to save the people that you love? Use that gun on yourself.
Do you think I'm afraid to die? Do you think I'm scared of anything right now? Why are you doing this? I never understood what Susan saw in that face.
In the decades of watching your tedious lives, our technology just passed her by.
Clones are obsolete.
- You're Betamax.
- Because of the bots? We don't need your baseline; - we can fix people now.
- You can't perfect the human genome! You can't know what perfect is! I know! I was born sick! I'm sick too; that doesn't justify this.
Da Vinci robbed graves to study anatomy.
In a hundred years they'll call me a pioneer.
Please don't do this.
Say goodbye.
Quickly.
Stop there.
Kendall, what do we do? No tears, Cosima.
These shites aren't worth the salt.
Tell Siobhan she's done right, always.
And tell your sisters I'm proud to have been part of them all.
- (poignant music) - (Duko): Step back.
Turn around, luv.
Turn around! Good girl! (gunshot) Delphine Cormier was shot dead at the DYAD parkade.
(crying): Oh, my God! Tell Susan the Original's dead.
Tell Sarah it's over.
Or Beth died for nothing.
(piano music) (Cosima crying) Beth! - Don't make me kill a cop.
- Don't make me! Is it true? Will my sisters die for what I know? They've done it before.
What's your play, Beth? As we watch This world burn A simple truth's So hard to learn When things go wrong It's hard to see It's not just you But also me I will It's over! We're done! I'm done! I screwed it up! We can't fight this anymore, Mika! - (toilet flushing) - Neolution will cauterize your life.
Alison, Cosima, your parents, Paul.
You want to save the people that you love? Use that gun on yourself.
You need to drop all this.
Go back into hiding.
Drink iced tea, play video games, whatever.
Just stay hidden.
I have to keep everyone - that I care about safe.
- Please don't leave me.
And you want that too, don't you, Beth? Watch the others for me.
I will Burn it all down I will burn it all down I will burn it all down Now (piano music) (sound of train rolling)
