02x09 - Rescue

[bunniefuu]

[GROVER] Previously on Freakish.

I just wish I knew
what this photo meant.

It means you're a retrieval target.

- For what?
- We're going to my house,

then you can see why I did what I did.

Project Wednesday.

Keller Chemical is

experimenting on people?

[BARRETT] Read the signature line.

[GROVER] NHJ.

Your dad is in charge
of Project Wednesday.

[ANNOUNCER] Authorities have
declared a state of emergency.

Survivors to receive aid
at the East Bridge Pass.

They're helping people at the Pass.

This could possibly be over soon.

[VIOLET] There are people in the school.

Two of them are our age, girls.

One of the guys is way older,

and the other one is
built like a machine.

- Where are the others?
- [VIOLET] I heard one of them say

he chased three people
into the fallout shelter.

[DIESEL] They locked us in.

Are we gonna help them get out or what?

[DIESEL] Check out this wall.

[CRASHES]

Why would you put a door in a

fallout shelter then weld it shut?

Yeah, and wall it up like
welding it shut wasn't enough.

What were they trying
to keep outta here?

Or in.

Whatever it was, it was a long time ago.

It's gotta be safe to open.

Well, that's a big assumption.

Well, we either find a way to open it,

or we die in here, so.

[SCREAMS]

There's a body.

So, what's the plan?

Run up behind the big guy
and staple him to the wall?

At least I'm doing something.

Doing something doesn't matter

when the something is pointless.

Fine, please hit me with
your superior idea.

Our homemade weapons
aren't gonna cut it.

I have a stun g*n.

Well, that's a start.

Yeah, except when I try to
get close enough to use it,

that other guy can sh**t me in
the head from feet away.

We need better weapons.

Yeah, no kidding.

How far is the gym?

The only thing that would be

in the gym is a bag of dodge balls.

Really?

Yeah, what did you think
would be in there?

Archery sets, bows, arrows.

Yeah, we don't have that.

Are you joking?

Are you joking to think that

a public school has archery?

So, no cricket bats, lacrosse

sticks, polo mallets?

You messing with me?

You see that?

Sure do.

Look, hey.

It looks like a soldier.

The government's here.

That's not a Keller.

[FOREBODING MUSIC]

I only saw the one girl.

Earl wants to go hunting.

I know.

I told him to stand down.

Wait for them to try
to rescue the others.

This isn't where I thought

we'd end up when we got out of the lab.

You won't even tell
me where we're going?

I told you.

I'm taking you someplace
you could have a normal life.

You won't tell me because
you think I'll tell Hailey.

Birdie,

you've known Hailey less than two weeks.

You don't even know
if you can trust her.

Don't mansplain me.

Man-splain?

Where'd you hear that?

Hailey.

Of course.

She says that this is a normal place.

That these are regular kids,

so why don't we just stay here?

Because this isn't a home.

Maybe it could be, though!

I've k*lled one of 'em.

You think they're gonna
accept me after that?

You have no idea where
we're going, do you?

Now is not the time
for us to discuss this.

You don't want me to trust Hailey.

But, she hasn't lied to me and you have!

Why should I trust you and not her?

Because you and I, we come...

We come from the same place.

Hailey's fear will make her betray you.

Such bullshit.

If I could remember my family,

where I'm really from,

I wouldn't even need you.

[DOOR SLAMS]

We can't just sit here all night.

If we've learned anything,
it's not to dive in

without being pretty
damn sure it's a good idea.

What if my parents are in there?

Huh? What if yours' are?

Look.

No one's guarding the service entrance.

Let's go then.

We need to be cautious.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[WOMAN CRYING]

Keller's stock dropped more

than % since the incident.

Federal authorities are categorizing

the exposure that left an estimated

, people dead as
an act of terrorism.

The search for survivors
has been complicated

by toxic fumes still circulating.

The CDC has quarantined the Valley

and believes it may be
uninhabitable for decades.

Decades?

That means we'll never be
able to go home again.

This could be a lie.

And, why would they lie about that?

They're covering it all up.

Notice they don't even
mention the freaks.

They're acting as if it's
the gas that's k*lling people.

Or, maybe they're just believing

what Keller's telling them.

I never meant for all of this to happen.

I just wanted people to know what

Keller was doing to expose it.

This isn't your fault.

And, in other news, Oliver Keller

tells a harrowing story of being trapped

in Kent High School with
a group of survivors.

Keller was the only person

to make it out of the school alive.

Having lost his sister Anka,

he was too distraught
to give further details.

But, we hope to get more
of his story to you soon.

[NEWS JINGLE]

Oh my God.

They were right.

Blue suits k*lled them, all of them,

even Anka.

And...

Violet.

I know.

I didn't want to be right about this.

I think about Zoe in her last moments.

I should've tried harder.

We knew the helicopter was gonna come

and bring the blue suits, we knew it.

Why did I just leave her there?

They were never gonna come with us.

If I would've just showed
her the retrieval photo.

I let her die.

You told me we have to
make tough decisions.

Regretting them isn't
gonna get us anywhere.

C'mon, let's move.

[SNIFFLES]

You okay?

Earl wants to teach me how to use a g*n.

I hate g*ns.

Just learn to use it, it's no big deal.

It's a big deal to me!

I've already lost so much of who I am.

I wonder if I was always like this.

Before the lab.

Or, if I was different.

You know you liked cinnamon gum.

You were gonna fight me over

the last pack when we first met.

What did you call it?

A meet cute.

From the movies.

You said, "Sharing is caring."

I like that.

I had never heard it before.

Sharing is caring.

Why don't we just leave?

Just the two of us.

I can't.

What happens when I have
a seizure? You can't protect me.

Teach me how to fight.

I'll prove I can protect you.

Okay.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[SCREAMS]

Run!

Wait!

- Not yet.
- We could've had 'em.

We still don't know if there are others.

- We have to be patient.
- What?

I'm starting to get the feeling

that maybe you don't wanna
hurt any of these kids?

My goal is to own this school.

Yeah, but we're not gonna own

this school without a few casualties.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

Not k*lled by a freak.

Or the chemicals.

He didn't turn.

He's been injected with
something, just like Natalie.

Look.

This is the same stuff Collins had.

They're not rescuing survivors here.

Keller and the government
are poisoning witnesses.

I was almost k*lled, me,

Anka Elizabeth Keller.

Technically he almost m*rder*d me.

This can't be the first time you've

almost been k*lled since
after the expl*si*n.

It's the first time a
person's tried to k*ll me.

Okay, fair enough.

We need to get out of here.

Not before we can rescue the others.

I can't let them die.

You saw those guys.

It's like the Hunger Games in here,

and I don't have a bow and arrow.

Can you really sh**t a bow and arrow?

Yeah, but you said public
school doesn't do archery.

We don't, but I just
remembered something.

[ZANE] Look at his fingers.

Tried to claw his way out.

Okay.

His name's James Polnecheck.

He worked at Kytheria Construction,

you guys heard of it?

Zane?

No.

No idea.

It says his driver's
license expired in .

How long you been down here?

Probably screamed for help,
but nobody ever came.

That's not gonna be us.

We don't even know if Violet
and Anka are still alive.

How long do we keep holding out
hope for them to rescue us?

Maybe this is it. This is how it ends.

That's pretty dark.

Well, it fits.

No.

No, I'm not dying in here.

Well, we'll all eventually starve to

death like our friend James over here.

It's like that movie we
say in History class,

where the soccer team travels
through the mountains

and they crash and end up
having to eat each other.

We had History together?

Yeah, not like you usually come.

Well, I couldn't eat anyone.

Yeah, me either.

I don't even like my meat a little pink.

I'd eat any of you.

Really?

To survive, yeah.

I mean, if it came down to
it, you could eat me too.

I'm gonna keep this for evidence.

To show who?

The government and Keller
are working together, Barry.

Maybe we can get a message out.

Crap, it's all internal network

on the Keller server,
and there's a password.

Keller server? Then, you
know how to get in.

Can you cr*ck it?

I've done it before.

Give me a minute.

The Drama Department put on
Robin Hood last semester.

Friar Tuck brought in his
dad's old hunting bow.

I completely forgot before.

It'll do.

Okay, you really can use that.

Best in my school.

Have you ever sh*t somebody before?

Sure, we used to hunt
the staff in the summer.

I wouldn't put it past you.

I don't know if this is going to work,

us k*lling these guys.

They won't expect it.

Believe me.

I mean, it's one thing to fight freaks,

but to k*ll people?

That's m*rder.

We can still leave.

Everybody in the shelter will die.

Then, it's not m*rder.

It's survival.

This doesn't bother you at all?

I won't know until I do it.

Take this.

If this can take care
of a drunk frat guy,

the old man should be no problem.

[CLICKING]

Okay, so I circumvented the mainframe.

Skip the details.

Right.

There's staff lists, project lists.

- Project Wednesday.
- You have that.

That was just a summary.

These are notes on the experiments.

Test group one, overly
aggressive, discarded.

Test group two, numerous side
effects, still operational.

Test group three...

Test group three, to be retrieved.

Wait, Barrett, am I a test subject?

Don't jump to conclusions,
all right? We don't know.

[LOUDSPEAKER] Security
breach within this sector.

They know I tried to log on.

We need to go now.
I need a picture of this.

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

- You're dead.
- [SIGHS]

Damn it! Let's go again.

- This isn't gonna work.
- Yes it is, let's do it again.

Are you gonna be able to k*ll someone?

Of course.

So, you can k*ll that girl
that's loose in there, then?

What?

You could drive a Kn*fe
through her throat.

Stop being an assh*le.

You could watch the blood spill out

all over the floor, the
life go out of her eyes.

You could do that?

You haven't k*lled anyone either.

Yes, I have.

- A person?
- Yeah,

and if Jake asks me to k*ll
that girl in there, I'll do it.

You can't even k*ll the moaners.

I'll die if I'm with you.

[SOBS]

Close enough.

Damn it!

[CLICKING]

[SCREAMS]

[CLICKING]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

[JAKE GROANS]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

- [SCREAMS]
- Oh sh*t.

Run!

In here, hurry!

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Okay, what the hell?

Why did you help us?

They wanna k*ll you.

Oh, and you don't?

I don't k*ll people.

Look, we just wanna get
our friends and leave.

I can help if you let me come with you.

I need to get away from Earl.

It won't be easy.

That big guy pulled an
arrow out of his shoulder.

He's an experiment from Keller.

They created him as a soldier.

That's why he can
breathe without a mask.

Yeah, and he won't turn
into a moaner either.

What about the other one, the girl?

Is she an experiment too?

Yeah, but she's different.

Different how?

She has seizures

when the moaners are nearby.

[ANKA] You like her.

How can you tell?

It's this thing she does.

Yeah.

I do.

But, she's doing her own thing now.

That's all I know.

So, can I go with you?

Grover, we need to go now!

Okay.

[RADIO CHATTER]

[GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL]
Hey, hey you, stop!

[ALARMS BLARING]

- C'mon!
- [g*n sh*t]

[GROVER SCREAMS]

Grover!

Go, get out of here!

I'm not leaving you behind!

I won't be an experiment!

You need to just go!

What're you doing?

I'm exposed, I'm gonna turn.

Run!

Go!

[SOLDIER] All right, we're taking him.

Pick him up.
