04x08 - The Redesign of Natural Objects

Post by bunniefuu »

We've always talked about doing our own musical review.

together: ♪ Jesus Christ, Superstar ♪

You control Neolution.

k*ll me and someone will take my place, but they will not protect you as I have.

The architecture of Neolution is under our control.

They just want me to destroy it. (moan)

Is anything recoverable?

The malware did exactly what they intended. Completely obliterated your data.

You put my mother in the line of fire.

How nice do you have to get to k*ll yourself, Beth?

Bring us together, Sarah, we need you.

Somehow, during Krystal's misguided investigation, she found herself on the trail of Delphine, and Delphine was alive when they took her away.

Hello, Kira.

Who are you?

Don't worry, I'm a friend.

Don Hendricks?

Yes?

Oh my God!

Hands behind your back!

We are going to need to keep in touch.

Don't tell me... first day inside.

Right? Hm?

What, are you kiddin'? Just... gettin' the lay of the land!

See if any of these punks are gonna be trouble, you know what I mean?

These guys? It's just remand.

Most guys just violated restraining orders or some sh*t.

Yeah, that's what I thought.

So, what are you in for?

(indistinct chatter around)

Uh... trafficking... prescription dr*gs.

Allegedly.

Really?

You were moving a few pills to your buddies in the bar?

More like 100,000 worth.

Oh yeah, Vikes, Big Boys, Red Birds... French Fries, L.A. Turnarounds...

(chuckle and whistle)

The real deal, baby Are you done yet?

Yeah.

This is your guy.

Making friends already, Donnie?

Ex... excuse me, how do you know my name?

I know all about you.

I've got my eye on you.

(Gulp!)

(theme music)

A swan!

Stop saying it like that.

It was a vision of a swan.

You fell down the stairs and bumped your head.

Yes, but the swan wasn't in my eye like a... glitch.

Well, everything appears to be normal.

Anyway, we're on our own, Rachel. Susan's given up on Leda.

But age has dulled up her ambition.

You and I are still young. Don't you want to live?

I do now, yes.

Then we can't just accept this.

We may have been raised without familiar bonds, but... you, Ira, are my brother.

And I'm beginning to believe that means something.

You just stood without your crutches.

And your aphasia completely cleared.

Apparently, passion helps.

No coffee, but I made chai.

You still feeling it?

Yeah.

I haven't had a two day hangover in a long time.

How are you?

I almost did something desperate.

But if Delphine's alive, I mean, I don't know...

If she is alive, we'll find her.

I'm proud of you, sestra. We both made it back from the dark side.

Yeah.

(electronic sound on the computer)

It's time to see Mika.

(electronic signal)

Hello, Mika!

Hello Kira. Hi Sarah.

Hey, lose the mask.

Wanna give us a second? Ok.

Yeah.

Next time you want to talk to me, don't come at me through my kid.

She's lovely. I'm sorry we left on bad terms.

Yeah, I thought you pissed off to enjoy your cool three mill.

Three point seven. It's well invested.

Hi, I'm Cosima. Oh! Sorry. Don't worry about it.

If you want to keep it on, I think it's funny.

Beth told me about you. How's your illness?

Um, you know, incurable so, that sucks.

Uh, Kendall's gone, so there are no original stem cells for research and our Creator's gone dark in some Neolution coup.

And the new bitch, Evie Cho had Alison's husband arrested.

So what do you want, M.K.?

There's something you should see.

I, uh, traced a dedicated satellite feed to an island in the North, disconnected from the grid.

Evie Cho has forced Susan Duncan out of Project Leda.

Leda will be dismantled for its assets.

The monitor program, terminated.

And my subjects?

Now your clones are being cut loose. No need for Helsinki events, their days are numbered anyway. However, Sarah and her... (Breathes in) self-aware sisters are still a thr*at.

They won't get such humane treatment.


Oh my God.

You and Beth were right; we can't do this alone.

Right, so what are we gonna do?

Hey, M.K. is there any way that I could talk to Susan?

If there's anyone who can help me, it's her.

There's always a way.

Two pieces of ID. Sign the visitor information form, third line from the bottom.

Ok!

Donnie needs a lawyer, Felix.

Adele is a lawyer.

She is currently under suspension for being inebriated in court, but that's good for you because your bank accounts are frozen.

Well, what does she know?

A lot.

She's far superior to legal aid.

I mean, about clones.

Excuse me, pardon me. Sorry! Sorry...

I'm sorry. I had to park at the far end of the lot. Y'all don't even have valet here.

It's a prison.

I'm kidding. I'm Adele, you must be...

Oh.

Yeah, forgot to mention that... that... Alison is Sarah's twin sister.

(laughing): Oh! Oh, thank God!

I thought mama was losing it for a minute.

You look just like her, except for, you know, less anger and more hygiene!

Felix, this isn't gonna work. She reeks of alcohol.

Ma'am, you're about to miss your visitation window.

Excuse me, I'm in conference with my client.

And she will not be denied of her right to see her husband.

Let me just have a look at this. I don't want anyone frisking you; it's not as fun as it sounds.

Severe panvasculitis.

Also, signs of meningoencephalitis and segmental enteritis. So, what do you suppose that means?

That we'll find a Rhabdovirus.

I think it means we're studying the wrong species.

We're all aware of our disease now, Susan.

It's all on the table.

Yes, Charlotte is aware we will be starting a variety of treatments.

Treatments do not mean a cure.

We'd like to know what the long term plan is.

I suggest you take up a hobby too.

Ira, have you shown her your toy soldiers?

Yes, perhaps I should take up carpentry.

I could build us all coffins.

Shall I start with the smallest first?

(door closing)

Hey! Did you
manage to make contact with Susan?

M.K. says she can.

She's had Susan out on some island. Gonna make her help Cosima.

Well, that's the main thing; keep pressing on for a cure.

Yeah, well, there's still Evie Cho and her cop. We don't know what their next move is.

You alright, Mum?

Yeah! Yeah. I'm fine.

You wanna talk about it?

No, not now.

A cup of tea?

Ta.

Ok, I'm patching you in now.

Look.

Sarah?

How are you doing that?

Evie is monitoring all my communications.

It's encrypted. She won't see it.

Hello, Sarah.

It appears we're all in the same boat now.

Child.

I doubt that.

Hi, love.

You should go back to your book.

Where are you going?

I just, uh...

I have to... go on an errand.

I've been trying to cure the disease ever since it first appeared.

But without the Original, I'm sorry, I can't!


That's not good enough.

Mum. Mum!

I agree.

(Starts engine.)

What do you suggest? You need to work with someone who knows what they're doing. Someone who can actually help.

Hey. Surprise.

Cosima! It's good to see you again!

Uh, yeah! I'm a bit conflicted about it, considering who your roommate is. Yo, Rachel.

Yo.

Mum!

What are you doing?

You knew that was important.

S left.

What? Where'd she go?

I dunno, she... got her g*n and she went out.

What?

S...?

You saw a g*n?

We're reduced to lab notes, but I've uploaded what we have left of the viruses we were working on.

I have them.

I see you've been trying to engineer your own vectors.

Wow, Rachel! I thought you were more into corporate power than hard science.

As you know, I have a long perspective on our ailment.

Scotty, look who wants to be on the team.

Rachel?

Hello, Scott. How are you?

She stabbed us in the back. I'm not working with her.

She even cheats at Agricola.

Ok!

Sorry, Susan. If you wanna move forward,

Rachel's out. You know what, Ira, you can leave too, Alright, if that's what makes you comfortable.

You can't afford to exclude us, Cosima.

Bye-bye.

(buzzing signal for door)

A musical?

Yes, we have a rehearsal tonight.

Donnie! Donnie, sweetie, they make you wear one of those horrible things?!

Honey, just be cool, ok? You're the lawyer?

Hm?

You're... you're the lawyer?

Yeah, I'm kind of a stopgap, but yeah.

She's Felix's sister, Adele.

Felix has a sister?

Just don't think about it right now.

But...

How much does she know?

I don't need to know anything just yet, ok?

Nothing that might incriminate you.

Alright, Donnie, I'm gonna give you a little jailhouse 101.

Oh, yeah, I could use that.

Ok.

Uh, while you're inside, you don't... Donnie?

While you're inside, you do not talk to the police, ok?

You don't talk to the people in the common areas and you don't talk to your celly.

The only people you should be talking to are Alison and me.

Ok?

Got it, yeah!

In the meantime, we're gonna be collecting affidavits from community members and friends. The bail hearing is basically about just proving you're not a flight risk.

See, we're in good hands.

Hey!

What's so important?

I think Siobhan's about to do something rash.

Get in the car.

Ok. So, how rash?

Like, you know: take out the cop who k*lled her mum.

What?

She's got her r*fle, I think that's what she's up to.

She's gonna make everything worse. No matter how bent Duko is she can't go k*lling a cop.

I know, I shoulda seen it coming.

It's some Black Irish sh*t, you know: revenge first, consequences later.

Ok, ok, I'll talk to someone who I can trust on this.

We'll find him.

'Cause you got arrested on Friday, your bail hearing is not gonna be until Monday.

Monday?!

It is a classic d*ck move cops pull to sweat someone.

That way, they can hold you for two days without charge.

I don't know why they have it in for us.

Well, that's what we'll find out when we go to the bail hearing. Ok?

You guys have bail, right?

Adele, can I just talk to my wife for a second?

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Thank you.

Honey... do you see that guy over there?

Hm?

Do you see that guy there?

Don't look, don't look.

He's a Neolutionist. They put him in here with me.

Oh, Donnie...

Be cool, ok?

Stop telling me to be cool, I'm not cool!

I know that, but you just... Shh! Just...

He said he's here to keep an eye on me.

Oh God, Donnie.

Oh Lord. Sweet baby Jesus.

I'm not gonna make it two more days in here Alison.

Donnie, I know who's done this.

It's this detective. He showed up after you were arrested.

Duko. He's behind all of it.

Are you serious?

No, no, that's ok.

Yeah, Yeah, thanks, Raj.

Duko is fully AWOL. Turned off the GPS in his car.

So how are we gonna find him?

(cocking)

Shite!

Mrs. Hendricks?

What do you want?

Let's not make this about me.

So. How's Donnie?

(cellphone ringing)

Oh, thank God.

S, where the hell are you?

Doesn't matter.

What matters is I think I know how Evie Cho's going to try and get to us.

Why is Neolution arresting my husband?

Donnie's innocent.

You know what, this has got nothing to do with you and Donnie. You're just caught in the crossfire.

The people I work for would be more than happy to let you and your family... live your lives.

But... what did he want?

I think you know. We all know who the real... fly in the ointment here is.

I don't know why they don't just leave Sarah alone; she's not a thr*at to Neolution.

Not my call. I just need to find her.

Well, I don't know where she is. I don't!

Jail's not a good place... for a sensitive man like Donnie.

I don't know how long he can survive in there.

God...

So, you just have a little think about it, Ok?

Where would you find Sarah?

The location.

I'm gonna get back in touch with you... real soon.

sh*t!

Alison!

Are you, uh... Are you alright? Let me help with this.

I don't know what came over me, heh!

Oh, I do.

See, I was there when he was arrested, remember?

Come on, Ali.

So, how's Donnie doing?

He's fine!

He's very comfortable in orange.

You and Donnie are stalwart members of our congregation.

Hm.

But recently, I feel like you've begun to take your faith for granted.

Reverend, the, the, the...

(in a hushed voice): the police and the... arrest, a huge misunderstanding.

Was it?

I'm sure the children who witnessed it will be just fine, you know, with... with... with... with proper therapy.

All I know, Ali, is you got a secret laying heavy on your heart and I can help you.

Hm... It's an impossible situation, no one can help.

Just... just try me.

What if... someone... asked you to do something... And if you did it, then, you would protect someone you love, but hurt someone else that you care about? Is Donnie one of those people?

(sigh)

Donnie's your husband, Ali. You made a vow to love and protect him right... right here, in this very church.

Yes. (sniveling)

But...

You know, this might be one of the questions that... that only the Lord can answer.

So... so what you do is you... you open yourself up, and... let Him guide you.

Ok, so, um...

I'm gonna leave you two alone. Hm!
Alison might be uptight, paranoid and occasionally delusional, but she's not a rat, you guys.

We didn't say she was a rat, we said she was being squeezed, maybe.

What if she cracks?

She trusts you.

Just check in with her, see if she'll confide something.

Wear that.

No, wear that.

Piss off! Both of you!

Go spy on your own bloody sister.

Remember, I've got Adele trying to help her, yeah?

(cellphone ringing)

Oh, bugger.

(sigh)

Hello, Alison, everything alright?

Yes, yes! Um... where's Sarah?

Um... Why? What's happened?

Ah...

Felix, could you come by the church? Today, it's rehearsal and I, um... need you.

Sure, yeah, I can come right now.

Ok, thank you.

(Beep!)

See, the vectors that we engineered seemed hopeful, but it took us months to come up with even those few.

And you had success with the initial testing?

One of our big problems is we can't get Cosima's cell population to grow past the lag phase.

And I'm not even sure we're using the right viruses.

You've used both... retro and adenoviruses.

Have you tried naked DNA?

Have you seen our lab?

We have major trouble controlling contamination.


Still, it's remarkable what you've achieved with so little.

I assume that you've used Kira's cells again?

Yeah, they were helpful in a few attempts, but... the father's contribution to her DNA takes'em way too far from the Leda genome.

Whereas with the Original stem cells, we could induce from any direction we want.

Embryonic stem cells.

What if we created a blastocyst?

The ball of cells would contain all the stem cells we need.

We'd need fertilizable Leda eggs...

And Castor sperm from Ira.

Where are you going to get the eggs from?

Oh...

Sarah and I will be right by the phone.

If it looks like Alison is playing ball with Duko, we have to cut and run.

Ok.

(cellphone ringing)

Hey, this is M.K.

Yeah?

I found something.

What have you got?

I went spear phishing on Duko.

Your detective receives payments from a Brightborn shell to an account in the Caribbean. He hid it well, but I found it.

That's good, Art'll love that.

What else?

There's worse.

Much more damning. He's dangerous, Sarah.

I'll email you what I found.

We'll take whatever we can get, M.K.

Sarah? Thank you.

I didn't know if you would let me back in.

Me neither.

Uh... talk soon, yeah?

After the way she left last time, why is she coming back?

I don't know. But what we don't know about M.K. could fill a library.

(coughing)

(small grunt)

What is happening to me?

Five, six, seven, eight. Ok!

Ahem! No, we... no! We can't both enter from the same side.

I thought that's what you said we should do...

Yes, but then, I saw how stinky it was, and...

Ok!

I'm sorry, I'm just...

Do you need a minute, hon?

Yes, yes, I'm... gonna do my face. (big sigh)

Alison!

Oh, schiesse, Felix!

Come.

So, what is going on, darling, and what's wrong? You look terrified.

No, no, but... yes, but, but...

I just feel so out of the loop.

What's everybody doing? I haven't heard anything. Sarah?

Oh, I thought that maybe there was something wrong with Donnie.

No, just jail...

And how are you? How's Alison doing? Any more police?

What do you mean? No. No!

Oh, ok, I just thought maybe they'd be investigating, looking for evidence. Finding out who Donnie might know...

I wouldn't tell them.

Of course not, no.

I know that you know to keep things close to the vest.

Yeah?

Mm-hm.

Sarah's just... thinking that maybe this detective Duko might be coming after you over Evie Cho.

(Ali takes a deep breath.)

She's probably forgotten all about us.

(SMS alert)

Um, is everything okay?

Yeah! I just have to do something.

Look, I know that you're under a lot of pressure, but you need to keep strong, ok?

Of course.

Your sisters are there for you.

Mm-hm.

Sarah is there for you.

Hello, Alison!

Oh!

(breathing out): I don't know where Sarah is.

I understand. These are decisions of the heart.

Here's someone who might be able to help you with that.

Hello?

Ali, Honey?

Oh, Donnie?

Donnie, are you ok? What's wrong?

(shaky moaning)

You remember that Neolution guy?

He's in my cell... with a shank.

A what?

A shank, a shiv. It's what we call a Kn*fe in here.

It's a sharpened toothbrush, ok? Listen, he says if you don't tell them what they wanna know, he's gonna stick it... in my brain... through my eye!

(moaning)

Oh, Donnie!

(sound of hanging up) Donnie?

It's your choice, Alison.

It's up to you.

(long shaky breath)

Sarah will be at a comic book shop called The Rabbit Hole, tonight.

Ok.

Good.

If that's true, I'm gonna call that psycho back.

Donnie's gonna be fine, he's gonna be out of there on Monday.

But if it's not true... you have to say a little prayer.

You could run a hell of a campaign with a party like that.

I don't see what you're gaining here, Art. You know where this is going.

(moaning in pain)

I'm afraid so.

You're gonna want to tell us what Evie Cho's next move is.

That would not be healthy for me in any way.

I guarantee you the alternative is less pleasant.

You think torturing me is going to change anything?

S...

You both should leave.

It's my time now.

Art?! Come on, man, I mean, I...

Come on, I know I crossed the line. It's dark stuff, but... you can't let her do this to another cop.

I crossed the line too, Marty.

For Beth.

Art...

Jesus, come on!

Show me a scenario where Evie Cho stops coming after my family.

Okay. Look, I'll tell you what I know. (screaming in pain)

What does Evie want next? Right now.

Sarah.

Why?

I don't know, she doesn't like clones?

Sarah's a thr*at.

It's all coming together for Evie and you people might interfere.

Don't do it before the question! Jesus!

What's Evie up to, Martin?

She's got approval for her bot technology.

She's planning on putting it into millions of people, under the guise of gene therapy.

But what's she really doing?

I don't know!

Remaking man in her own image by chopping my balls off?

That's not my end of things.

Jesus! Thank you.

Thank you.

I'll work for you.

Every case we found with Brightborn connections, you were the investigator.

You're a corrupt and mercenary man, Detective.

Subjects m*rder*d, witnesses disappeared.

They threatened my family. My little niece.

And paid you well, to your Cayman account. We found that too.

They said they'd k*ll her.

My niece, Meline, is like ten. She has no one.

That's a pretty name.

I had to take that money.

I put it aside for her.

So she'd be taken care of.

Exactly.

It's about family.

Oh, I get it.

No... no... No, no, no...

This is for my ma.

No, no, no!

(scrubbing sound)

(knocking)

Hey.

Cosima's downstairs.

Sarah, this is big.

We couldn't get mice cells to create a useable culture, but I figured that if we match a fertile Leda egg...

That's the part I don't like: my egg.

With Castor, yes. So totally out of line, but that's the two parts of Kendall Malone's biology, rejoined.

So, fertilize my egg with Castor sperm.

That's your eureka moment?

Yeah.

Don't mess with me, Cos.

I'm not. I'm really not.

This is the breakthrough we've been waiting for.

Is it?

(sighing)

The only problem is we don't have the resources to do it alone.

Oh, sh*t, what are you doing?

Cosima's coming here.

I look forward to working with her. She's a deft mind.

Her proposal is quite elegant, really.

Yes, I'm sure you're very excited about your contribution, Ira.

Anything for science.

Science isn't everything.

Certainly not Evie Cho's science. There's still time to stop her.

I want to go back, Mother.

I want to work with Sarah Manning and the others to restore you.

As the head of Neolution. They need Evie... removed as much as...

Oh...

Are you alright, Rachel?

Yes. Yes, I'm fine.

Are you sure you can work with Sarah?

I look forward to it.

Sarah's fine. Recovering from the procedure at home.

Great. Tell her her eggs are airborne.

Oh, man.

Scott, I wish you could see this.

I've never been this far North. It's amazing!

Have you thought about how insane you are? Jumping on a chopper to a mad scientist's private island?

Dude, we are mad scientists. Don't be a hater.

Now you're really scaring me.

(Cosima chuckling)

Where's your sense of adventure, Scott?

I just want you to find a cure.

We will.
