01x02 - Spies Appear in Night Time

Post by bunniefuu »

[NADIA] Seat's taken.
I'm waiting for a friend.


And I'm a girl who paid
a fortune for a good view.

How about I call the rail line,
give you a refund?

You know what's gonna happen now, right?

[GREGOR] We waited a long time

to wipe Citadel
from the face of the Earth.

Who the f*ck are you?

[GREGOR] The truth...

[NADIA] We were set up.

They're burning Citadel to the ground.

[DOCTOR] It appears you're suffering

from retrograde amnesia.

Do you know a man named Kyle Conroy?

- [MASON] No. Who's that?
- [DOCTOR] You.


[KYLE] Soccer cleats?

- Really, dude?
- School shoes, now. Come on.

[KYLE] These past few months,
I've been having these visions.


They found the Citadel X Case.

- I want you to retrieve it.
- Understood.

What do you want from us?

I'm Bernard Orlick. We're old friends.

You're telling me I was a spy?

[ORLICK] Early this morning,
Citadel's X Case


was stolen, containing all the codes

to every nuclear w*apon in the world.

- I need Mason Kane.
- Well, I'm not him.

You did have a partner.

Her name was Nadia Sinh.
I think she's dead.

It was a f*cking ambush.

Citadel's been compromised, all of it.
They were k*lling all of us.

I don't have Mason.

Na-Nadia? Nadia?

- Do you hear, do you hear me?
- I've initiated backstop.

You have two hours. Make provisions.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- I've got no choice.
- No. Bernard.

You can't backstop... Bernard.

Oh, f-f*ck.

to put the toilet seat down.
Now you're Jason Bourne?

He had recordings of me
as another person.

Recordings? Kyle, they could be
some kind of deepfakes or Photoshop.

You don't know that's real.
You don't know.

It makes sense, Abby.
Look at all my scars.

Look at why no one came looking
for me after the accident.

I think that we should tell them.

She should know.

We're not telling her, Bernard.

- Joe.

Unless you want me
to tell them what you did.

[ORLICK] You, too.

[ENGINE STARTS]

[♪ ST GERMAIN: "ROSE ROUGE"♪]

[ORLICK] There's a secret
Manticore tech lab

on the top floor of that tower.

The case is in their lab.

But the good news is I'm a genius,

and I hacked into their server
so your biometrics

under an alias are baked into
the backdoor security system.

Put this on.

And lose that.

This is the moment where
I'm gonna raise my hand and say

I need a little more clarity
on the plan here.

You don't need to know the plan.

I definitely need to know.

How could I not need to know the plan?

Look, I'll guide you, okay?

You just listen to me,
and I will get you through this.

You know, Mason would've
really enjoyed this.

Just saying.

Come on. Suit up.

And go in there like you own the place.

Own it?

I can't even afford to park here.

I want you to get together...

[SIGHS HEAVILY]

[ORLICK, OVER COMM] Anders Silje
is decrypting


the X Case's lock in the lab right now.

His brother Davik is
en route to pick it up.


Get the case, save your family.

All right, nice and steady.
This is the easy part.

[KYLE, OVER COMM] Says the man
with the seat heater on.


[MAN] Good day, sir.

[ORLICK] You're smiling? Don't do that.

Spies don't smile.

I want you to get together...

[BEEP]

[KYLE] They teach you that
in spy school?

[ORLICK] Yeah, smart-ass.
Just head to the second level.


The X Case has seven key blocks.

Four have been disarmed.

If they unlock all seven,
it's game over.

Fifth key block removed.

[ORLICK] sh*t.

They've disarmed another key block.

I want you to get together...

This ain't so bad.

I thought you said
Manticore was good at this.

And just like that,
you're being followed.

All right, come on, pick up the pace.

Take a left.

I know the lab is straight ahead,

but take a left, trust me.
Change in plan.


Brother.

How much longer?

Dahlia wanted this hours ago.

Both the Silje brothers are on-site.

We're minutes away.

You need to get the case.
We're running out of time.

He's closing in.

Get behind the column on your right.

- Move it along.
- Yup.

This is it. Go.

That guard probably called for backup.

No time to waste. In and out.

- Yup?
- I'm not gonna ask you again.

Okay, yeah, sorry,
just waiting on a friend.

Behind you.

[GRUNTING]

You're gonna want to get his g*n.

See? Just like riding a bike.
It'll all coming back to you.


[ALARM BLARING]

The case.

I need you to give him one
sharp hit to the Adam's apple.

Yeah. Okay. I'm going.

Good boy.

Right. Okay. Thank you.

[ALARM CONTINUES BLARING]

[TIRES SCREECH]

[TIRES SQUEALING]

[REPORTER] Authorities believe
a car b*mb was detonated


in the underground parking garage

of this apartment complex in Belgrade,

home to many United Nations
workers and their families.


We're hearing now dozens of casualties.

The search is underway

for the perpetrators behind the att*ck.

Witnesses recount hearing

a giant expl*si*n
at around : this morning.


[NEWSCAST CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

[DAVIK] Something happened.

[DAHLIA] What do you mean,
"Something happened"?


We got breached,
and the case was stolen.

You lost the f*cking case?

[DAVIK] I'm tracking it now.

[DAHLIA] Let me make something clear.

I am a broker.

For the families who run Manticore.

So when something goes awry...
like someone stealing the X Case

that we've been looking for
for eight f*cking years...

everybody puts a bounty
on my head if I don't fix it!


How did the CIA manage to pry it
from your f*cking hands?!

- It wasn't the CIA.
- What do you mean?

It was Mason Kane.

Mason Kane is dead.

I saw him.

He's alive.

I saw him, Dahlia.

Bring me the case.

And Kane.

How did I do that?

[CHUCKLES]

Because you are Mason Kane.

You see that buckle?

Put your wrist over it.

- [MASON] Mason Kane.
- [BEEPING]

[AUTOMATED VOICE] Tier-One
Operator identified.


Open it.

Ask it to search for active agents.

Search active agents.

The X Case is the only tech
that can locate

any Citadel agents
who might still be alive.

During Citadel's collapse,
I ordered my protégé,

Carter Spence,
to take the case underground.

Finding it now proves
he didn't die in vain.

We can use this to take down Manticore.

So we take the case back to Wyoming,

figure out what to do next.

Yeah. It's a long drive
back to Wyoming, so...

What do you mean, "It's a long
drive back to Wyoming"?

- We can't go back to Wyoming.
- Why not?

Because the minute
you went into that building

and showed your face,
they knew you were alive.

And right now, every Manticore agent

around the world is looking for you.

And they're gonna follow you to Wyoming,

and they're gonna k*ll you
and your wife and your daughter.

That's why.

You didn't tell me this would happen.

- I am sorry I didn't mention it.
- What the f*ck?

- You told me to trust you.
- Why would you trust me?

I gassed you and your family
in a f*cking car.

I'm exceedingly untrustworthy.
I'm a spy.

Where the f*ck is he?

[ORLICK] Listen, the X Case
was just the beginning.


Manticore is readying for
something cataclysmic, an endgame.

So the only way
I get to see my family again

- is if we stop them.
- Precisely.

We are two guys in a van
with a briefcase, Bernard.

We're the plot of Dumb and Dumber.

What's your big plan?

I don't know.

- You don't know?
- No.

What happened to the tech
f*cking genius Atlas destined

- to carry the world on his back guy?
- I don't know, okay?

- But Mason will.
- And I'm not Mason.

No. Not yet.

Step on it.

- [TIRES SQUEALING]
- [HORN HONKS]

What do you mean, "Not yet"?

Stored in that case are his memories.

- Your memories.
- What?

Every Citadel spy has a chip
placed in their temporal lobe.

That chip uploads your memories
to a Citadel server.

If we can no longer trace you,
we backstop you.

You erase our memories.

Got him. There he is.

But that vial right there,
the one with your name on it,

it can give you your memories back.

Be careful with it. It's the only one.

- How do I...?
- Just press it into your neck,

and the fluid runs
into your bloodstream.

Are you f*cking with me?

Steady.

Don't you trust me?

Absolutely not.

- Do it.
- [g*nsh*t]

No, no. Hey, Bernard.
