01x11 - Confession

[bunniefuu]

[Helmsworth reading]

Dr. Chandler, are you there,
Dr. Chandler?

Liam, are you okay?

[Liam] Are you seeing this?

There's also
a humanoid chromedrone,

like the one Joon fought,
suspended in a tank.

Something's going on here,
something big.

[Karter Klay] Liam.

Don't worry, Liam.
Your friends will be here soon enough.

Their loyalty guarantees it.

Who are you?

What are you?

[laughs]

[T.J.] I'm not getting
any traction.

These things are just
pushing us around.

[trumpets]

[Prisca] Pulse! Blaze!
Jump on top of it!

[Paloma] See if you can find
it's weakness.

Blaze!

[Joon] Okay,
let's try again, Velox.

[grunting]

[grunts] Ah, let go!

[groans]

[grunts]

You want me to pilot
a dinosaur for you?

With you as our pilot,

we can rebuild our forces,
and rise to power and glory again!

You're crazy.

[grunting]

[roaring]

Liam, run! Run, Liam!

Ah! Stop them!

[grunts]

-Dad!
-Go Liam!

Joon, coming from the north,
it's Liam, heading your way.

I've got a visual on him,
about half a click out.

T.J., Prisca, Paloma,
fall back. Get to your own cargo hold.

[Joon] Liam, I got you.

[Karter Klay] You still
work for me, Johnny.

[Karter Klay chuckles]

Johnny.

Jessalyn.

Lieutenant Colonel Helmsworth.

Right. Lieutenant.

Karter Klay.

Why did you go work for him?

To protect
the Armorsaurs program.

To protect mankind.

To protect you.

What are you talking about?

[sighs]

I've known you my whole life.

You and me, we took an oath

to do our duty together.

I was dedicated to that.

"Dedicated"?

Going to work
for an extraterrestrial enemy

is hardly what
I would call dedicated!

Creating the A.D.A.P.T program
to protect mankind.

We were a part of that,
you and me.

But then you just...

You left...

without any explanation.
Just gone.

So...

tell me again, Johnny.

Why did you go work
for Karter Klay?

[sighs]

It was a routine patrol.

At least it should have been.

I had pulled a double shift,
I was tired.

Wasn't as focused
as I normally would have been.

I should have
reacted faster, but...

I didn't.

Before I knew it, they had me.

Karter Klay, he wasn't human.

Some sort of alien life form.

He knew what we were doing.

I know all about
the secret program that you're building,

the A.D.A.P.T system.

You're bringing in pilots
for an elite program.

-[Liam] There they are.
-[T.J.] Awesome!

-[Paloma] Wow!
-[Joon] No way!

We brought them back.

-[low growling]
-[footsteps thudding]

Dr. Chandler
and Lieutenant Helmsworth.

I see what they've done.

What they stole from me.

Such a nauseating waste.

Growing dinosaurs for your
pathetic little Armorsaurs program.

And that advanced
alien armor tech,

all stolen from me!

[screeching]

[Johnny] He wanted it,

and needed me
to help him do that.

He needed DNA,

a dinosaur, and a pilot.

Of course I didn't tell him
where he could go.

I wasn't gonna help him.

I would never betray
the program or you.

Why would I do that?

You will comply and deliver
exactly what I need.

You're an effective soldier,

trained by the very best.

So consider this.

If I already know this much

about your secret
military operations,

what else do you think
is at risk?

[Johnny] He told me
that if I refused

to work for him or get him
what he needed,

he would hurt the one thing
I cared more about than anything else,

you.

No, this... this doesn't
make sense.

Why didn't you
just come to us?

Tell us? We could have
protected you. We--

And risk having you hurt?

No, I couldn't do that.

I had no idea what
Karter Klay was capable of.

I had a plan, though.

And what was this plan?

I told Karter Klay
I would work for him

as long as you
came to no harm.

You now have
everything you need.

Weapons, chromedrones,
and intel.

Bring me a pilot.

It would buy me some time to figure out
more about what he was up to,

and maybe a way
he could be stopped,

while convincing him

that I was doing all
that I could to get him what he needed.

I had to make it
look real, though.

[soldier 1]
It's a chromedrone.

[soldier 2]
We're under attack!

-[soldier 3] It's another one.
-[soldier 1] Shake it off! Shake it off!

[tires screeching]

[Su] He's targeting
my controls!

[Johnny] Hello, Su.

[Su] How do you know who I am?

[Johnny] You and I,
we go way back.

[Su] What do you want?

[Johnny] If you know what's best for you,
you'll stay out of my way.

[Johnny] I never meant
for Su to get hurt.

He was only
supposed to be stunned.

[Su groaning]

[Johnny] But these
weren't my weapons.

They weren't
calibrated correctly.

There was always the risk
that someone might get hurt.

[Liam] No, Ajax! Your armor
can't take any more of this!

[Joon] Liam!

Take him!

[g*ns firing]

[Joon] Come on, Velox!

[grunting]

Aah! Ooh!

[Prisca] Joon! [grunts]

-Uh-oh.
-I almost felt that.

[gasping, groaning]

Get her!

[Paloma] No! No,
wait a minute.

I swear, it was this suit
that did it, not me.

Cross my heart.

[T.J.] Great job, Cobalt!

[grunting]

[Johnny] But it was a risk
I had to take.

Just like with Su,
I did everything I could

to minimize the danger.

[groaning]

I never wanted
anyone to get hurt.

[Helmsworth] What about
the missing DNA?

You delivered it
to Karter Klay?

What is it?

It's the samples.

Some are missing.

Switchblade!

He must have removed them
before the team retrieved the samples.

Why wouldn't he take them all?

Let me think.

Again, I had to make
everything look convincing to Karter Klay.

I did take those samples,

but never gave them to Klay.

[sighs]

Hand over the DNA.

[Johnny] He got nothing
more than plasma.

They were useless to him.

[sighs]

The real samples
are still here.

They're hidden in the main hallway,
behind an electrical panel.

See for yourself.

Jessalyn.

Come on. Please.

Are these really necessary?

[scoffs] Johnny, do you really
expect me to fall for that?

You have Kex go
on some goose chase,

so you have one less person
to deal with.

And then you ask me
to take those cuffs off. Come on!

I wasn't born yesterday.

Jessalyn, I--

Let's get back to Su.

What were you doing
at the hospital that day

that metal freak
tried to get you?

I was there to take Su.

So you went to go kidnap Su
for Karter Klay?

What does Karter Klay want
with Su anyway?

I went to get Su before
that metal freak got to him.

He was sent by Karter Klay
to get Su.

I had to stop him.

So Karter Klay didn't
send you to get Su?

[sighs]

Karter Klay was starting
to suspect something was off,

that I was
deliberately failing him.

And I was.

They somehow always seem
to be one step ahead of us.

But we're working
other angles--

Enough! You have
failed me again.

It's starting to become
a habit of yours, isn't it?

It's almost as though
you want me to fail.

While you keep trying
to get me my dinosaurs,

I've decided to use
something else to locate Su.

So he sent that humanoid
chromedrone to find Su.

He's been outfitted with all the data
needed to locate this pilot.

I am certain
he will not fail me.

This isn't necessary.

-I assure--
-Oh, but it is.

It is necessary.

He warned me
that I was becoming useless to him,

and if, when, I did,

he would simply
get rid of me and you.

Don't you see?

Now you're running the risk
of becoming obsolete.

So your time is running out.

And when your time
with me is done,

then so are you.

I was running out of time.

I needed to get to Su
before that droid.

I had to find out exactly
where that hospital was.

So you kidnapped Joon,
hoping he would know.

So, tell me!

[Johnny] I had to kidnap him
to find out where Su was.

Why would I tell you that?

[Johnny] But he didn't know
I suspected you had kept that from him

to protect Su.

You don't even know?

I couldn't be sure.

Karter Klay had
originally thought

I could pilot
a dinosaur for him,

but he found out
about the new cadets.

Something has been brought
to my attention.

These pilots have something
you lack, this Avian Anomaly.

This gene gives you
the ability

to communicate
telepathically with birds.

That makes you
very unique and powerful.

A gene so rare,

it's only been identified
in a few individuals world-wide.

And this anomaly,
theoretically,

should allow you to bond
and communicate

with a dinosaur.

I think we just
made a connection.

[gentle rumble]

[chittering]

[laughs]

-[both laugh]
-[dinosaurs chittering]

[Johnny] He wanted
any one of them.

You will bring me a dinosaur
bonded with a pilot.

Frankly, I don't believe
you're capable, Johnny.

Perhaps the KV1N
will prove most valuable

and bring me
all of the pilots.

[Johnny] They're a tight unit.
They care about each other.

[Joon] I got you! Whoo!

Just in time.

Oh, thank goodness.

I got eyes on the transport.

[T.J.] Cool,
an underwater mission.

[Prisca] No,
I don't see anything. Wait...

[Liam] Everyone, watch out.

[T.J.] What are you gonna do?
Think, think...

Okay, Prisca,
try to knock out the AI controls.

[Karter Klay] Yes, I believe
I shall have all five of these pilots.

-T.J., take your shot now!
-[T.J.] Let's do this!

[Karter Klay]
They function well together.

With them,
I will become unstoppable!

[Liam] All right, Ajax,
let's get a running start.

[Karter Klay] These bonded pilots
and dinosaurs cause much destruction.

Exactly what I need.

[Liam] Whoo-hoo! We're flying!

[Joon] Nice.
Great job, Velox!

Now let's go help the girls!

[Paloma] Whoo!
Great landing, Blaze!

Yes!

[Prisca] Pulse,
you have to help Ajax!

[Johnny] He knew
it would be almost impossible

to separate any of them
from the team.

If he couldn't have
one of the kids,

he would go after Su.

Karter Klay suspected
that if Joon had the Avian gene,

then his brother would too.

But right now,
we have a T. rex to rescue.

Colonel Helmsworth?

You need to tell me
where Su is.

It was only a matter of time

till Karter Klay's
humanoid freak located Su.

So you agreed
to meet with Joon.

Yeah.

I needed to try one last time

to see if Joon knew
where Su was.

And he did.

You don't know
where they're keeping him?

Larian Medical Center.

A high-security hospital.

Fancy. Getting
the best care there is.

I asked if Joon wanted
to join me, to go find Su.

Maybe I felt bad for the kid.

Come with me.

I can tell you everything
about Su, about all of this.

I'm not going
anywhere with you.

Tell me what
I need to know now!

I'm sorry, Joon. I truly am.

But you have to trust me.

If you wanna see your brother again,
you need to come with me.

[Johnny] He'd suffered
long enough,

but he chose
not to go with me.

No.

[KV1N] You're too late.

[Johnny]
By the time I got to Su,

that chromedrone
already had him airlifted out of there,

on his way to Klay, no doubt.

We fought. I tried my best.

But I wasn't strong enough.

Then everything went black.

And then I woke up here...

with you.

[Helmsworth sighs]

It's an interesting story.

It's not a story, Jessalyn!

It's the truth! All of it!

And how can I be sure?

[footsteps approaching]

[rumbling]

-[T.J.] Whoa, whoa!
-[Prisca whimpering]

[T.J.] Prisca, are you okay?

[Prisca] All good.

These earthquakes
are getting stronger and lasting longer.

Something's up.

Still working
on back up contingencies.

I'm having trouble
accessing any data from that Arctic base.

I'm going in. Ten seconds
should be enough.

[exhales]

[Karter Klay] Yes, my baby.

It's almost time.

[gasping]

It's Karter Klay!

He's closer to raising
that giant T. rex.

They'll be ready in a day
or maybe hours.

It will make him
almost impossible to stop.

Whatever it is he's planning,
I'm not sure we should wait to see.

[Paloma] We have to
get back there.

[Dr. Chandler] Jessalyn,
we've got problems!

The Armorsaurs
aren't ready to face Klay.

We don't have a choice.

They don't stand a chance!

We don't have time!

Send them.

Send all of them!

[all roaring]

[Karter Klay] I'm ready
for you, Armorsaurs!

With you and my dinosaur,

we will be unstoppable!
