04x02 - Transgressive Border Crossing

[bunniefuu]

So our guy's into body mod. Is that what's the cheek about?

Black female, white male. Where did they k*ll Basspair86?

An ambulance.

Man: They're not gonna be happy about any of this.

Think I could borrow a little surveillance gear on the DL.

You convinced me my boyfriend's a spy.

Just tell me what you want.

You end it, you coward!

What is happening with you?

Ah!

Ugh!

This is Detective Duko. He's with the union.

What's your worry, Detective?

Topside pursues its profits, the m*llitary pursues its weapons, and we steer it all from within.

Neolution.

(g*nsh*t)

Argh! Ah! Ah!

Man: I assume you have a plan to hide your dear mom.

Woman: I might.

Man: Far away. I don't need to know where.

Sarah Manning, my name is M.K. Neolution knows where you are.

(Wind blowing)

Come on, babe, we gotta go.

Sarah, could you just slow down?

Get dressed, Kira!

Christ on the cross!

What's all the racket?! You know what time it is?!

Sarah had a call. They said we'd been compromised.

Who exactly is M.K.?

I don't know.

She's one of us.

She said she knew Beth.

How does she know that the Neos have found us?

She didn't say. She just bailed on Art.

Sounds bloody fishy to me.

Kira, come on!

Come on, come on, babe.

What about Daddy?

He's out of the country still. We'll get word to him soon.

Look, I know none of it makes any sense, but we don't have a choice, do we?

Sarah, we've been so careful. We have covered our tracks.

No one knows we're here!

Then why would she call?

Could be the Neos trying to flush us out.

Sarah: Maybe, but I still think we should go.

Let's just get our heads before we do anything, luv, OK?

Let me reach out first. I will see if my people have heard anything.

♪

Mommy?

Sorry, babe.

They're coming.

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph!

Get in the truck!

Come on! You know what to do.

S, they can't find anything.

They won't. Not even an eyelash.

Get 'em all in the truck. Take this.

(Boing! boing!)

(Hip-hop music playing)

Gah-ah! Ball change. Work it out. Lift up.

Pas de bourrée. Whack it out.

Grab. Roll. Yes! Woo!

(Cell phone dinging)

Alright. One more time...

Ugh!

...for good luck!

Then we're gonna move through.

In 5, here we go.

Holy, Dinah!

Step back.

Whoa, take it easy!

I was expecting a friendly face.

Siobhan.

Apologies.

Any friend of Benjamin's... We're here, it's good.

(Siobhan sighing)

Two houses up in flames inside three months, 18 hours in the arse of a cargo plane, stuffed in a van in the dark; Christ, I need a f*g.

(Old woman sighing and coughing)

Alright, this is it then?

This is it.

We're nearly there, babe.

Benjamin's gonna take you and Kendall to the safe house, and I'll meet you later.

When you've settled her in, you come back here for checkup. I don't need a checkup.

You're having one anyway!

Are we gonna meet Cal at the safe house?

Uh... told you, we're not gonna see him for a while.

(Kira sighs.)

Kira?

Babe.

Come on!

Monkey!

She'll be fine, luv. She just needs to understand.

"Hell Wizard." That's lovely.

♪ Surrounded, surrounded got you surrounded ♪

Oh, brilliant!

It's like the bloody Batcave in here.

Hey!

(Laughing): Hey.

Hi, Sarah!

Hey, welcome to the Rabbit Hole.

It's really good to be here, Scott. Thanks.

How are you doing? Are you all right?

Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

Yeah, secret lab under a comic book shop, what more could a girl want, right? Haha!

I'm good, seriously.

Good.

Welcome home, sestra.

Well, I'm terribly happy you're back, Sarah, but how did this mysterious M.K. know they were coming for you?

That's the question, ain't it?

Up until yesterday, it was all quiet on the Iceland front.

Yeah, same here. Too quiet.

Well, I'm completely overbooked, I have no time for Neos.

You might have to make some.

(Sigh) So, uh, Beth never mentioned anybody named "M.K."?

No. I-I...

But you knew her best, Alison.

No, she never said anything to me.

But she didn't share every little thing. I mean, she protected us.

Like from a clone in a mask? What's up with that?

Art just said she wore a sheep mask.

(Laughing): Oh, right. What?

Dolly the sheep.

For the record, I do not find that even remotely amusing.

(Chuckle)

How did you set this place up?

The Hendrixes ponied up the cash.

Some of the gear we got on Craigslist.

But most of it magically migrated from Dyad... before they locked us out.

Well done, Scott.

Everyone else we know got fired or relocated.

As far as we know, Dyad is out of the clone game.

So who's running the experiment now?

I guess we are.

Oh...

Cosima looks...

She looks weaker.

We're getting closer with the gene therapy.

With Kendall's genome, we've been able to isolate the synthetic sequences.

What about the other thing? Any word on Delphine?

Still nothing.

Oh, yeah.

Purple this time?

Thanks, Cos.

Mm-hmm.

Sarah, have you spoken to Felix at all?

(Sighing): I'm trying. He won't return my calls.

Hey, um...

I'm taking Helena. What should I tell her?

Just don't tell her they're back.

She's occupying enough space and time as it is.

Fine.

Go.

OK.

I have a Playground Safety Committee meeting. I'm sorry.

Have we thought of next steps?

Yeah, Sarah, I'm not sure that home is the wisest place to run from Neolution.

Well, I can't run at all if I don't know who Neolution is.

M.K. does, so I think we start with her.

She was weird, man. Sorry I didn't get more out of her, but she bolted on me.

Her accent sounded Scandinavian to me.

Yeah.

European... or something. What else you got?

I know you've got something else.

Jesus!

It's the last case Beth and I caught.

He's got one white eye-contact lens.

Yeah, then someone surgically removed his cheek and neatly buried him.

Jesus Christ! Is that his...?

Self modification? Yeah.

What?!

He's Neolution then?

Don't know.

We were kicked off the case before we could find out.

What I do know is that Beth received an anonymous tip that led us to the body.

And you think that tip was from M.K.?

You know, bottom line is I have no freaking clue what Beth was up to.

I do know that if we want to find out...

Her flat?

Her flat.

♪

What's all this?

Landlord said the place is in Paul's name, rent paid through the end of the year.

Right. Paid by Dyad.

Yeah.

How come no one picked up her stuff?

The station said her family was gonna take care of it.

Well, let's see what's here.

You all right with this?

No... but it's where we're at.

(Woman singing opera)

Shiitake mushrooms! Felix!

Hi.

Alison!

(Alison sighs.)

(He turns off the opera music.)

What are you doing downtown?

I'm visiting you.

Is that a penis?

In art, it's called a phallus, darling.

Well, it's really coming along, this... thing.

Alison, why are you here?

You haven't been answering your calls, mister.

Do you even know that your family's back?

Yeah.

They're alright, aren't they?

Yes, but that's not the point.

Why didn't you go meet them?

'Cause I'm in the zone.

They can come to me.

You have to tell them what you've been up to.

I will. When the time's right.

Just tell them. Explain it, they'll be supportive.

I don't know.

What?

City marathon.

Yeah, she ran a few times.

No way I'd run 26 miles unless someone were chasing me.

You and Beth are more alike than you think.

You're both stubborn as hell.

So she probably kept investigating after she was suspended.

Beth never let anything go.

That's what made her a good cop.

Don't have anything special.

I wasn't expecting company.

Beer? No thanks. On duty.

I didn't think the union did home visits.

But this is a special case, isn't it Beth?

How are you holding up?

I'm good. Who doesn't like a little paid leave?

Go to the gym... get a little, uh... light reading done.

Is this any good?

Just skimmed it.

It all smells like bullshit to me.

You are k*lling me, poking around with these high-level people.

I went to Leekie on a case.

Well now, you're off the case. but you keep digging and digging and digging.

So what do you think is gonna happen if you keep picking at this scab?

I don't know.

Story of my life.

(Man laughing softly)

That's good.

You're good.

But we've crossed a line, you and me.

And there's really no going back because I have to keep everyone that I care about safe.

And you want that too, don't you, Beth?

♪

Anything?

Not a damn thing.

Nothing in the bedroom either.

So she was onto Neolution.

Probably through M.K.

She met Leekie.

No, I'm not your boyfriend; you're playing my wife.

Woman: Mr. and Mrs. Hendrix?

YES!

Yeah, right here. Yeah, I got everything filled out.

Great. I'll just need your health card, Mrs. Hendrix.

You know what? I've got that. Right here. Here you go.

She's changed her hair, obviously.

Because it was too ugly.

Well, it looks lovely now. If you'll follow me, we'll get you into a room.

Great.

So, Mrs. Hendrix, how have you been feeling?

A little tired and many farts.

Ha! I can assure you, that's perfectly normal.

But never when having sex with my boyfriend.

Haha! Husband. Me, her husband. Uh, we have sex because she's my wife. (Laughing)

Well, that is how all this happened, am I right?

You are right, so right.

Don't worry, there are many safe positions you can practice well into your pregnancy.

Oh, good.

It's nice to take your blood again, Kendall.

Last time for a while, I'm afraid; gotta keep her on the move.

They all want a piece of me.

You need some sun.

Siobhan: Ma...

She's the one that should be getting pricked and prodded.

(Cough) I thought my DNA was supposed to make you better.

Yeah, it takes time to develop a therapy.

We still need the right viral vector to deliver it.

Could you take another stem cell treatment from Kira?

I mean, just in the meantime.

I can't start a new gene-therapy trial if I'm already taking other treatments. It'll skew the whole data set.

Well, you two are gonna have a breakthrough, I feel it.

If the bloody Neos don't m*rder us all first.

(Kendall coughs.)

What? It's true!

"The individual can only begin the journey to the extraordinary by casting off the genetically-mandated human shell."

(Scoff) Cast it off for what?

For whatever they provide, I guess.

Cosima calls it "soundbite science."

♪

Jesus, Beth.

(Sniffing)

Man: Sarah, come see this.

What, you found something?

Yeah, something I don't think anybody was supposed to see.

Is that a camera?

Yeah. Paul spying on her.

Actually, I think Beth was spying on Paul.

When I was... her, I found surveillance equipment.

She got it from Raj at the station.

He had a crush on her.

OK.

Yeah, here we go.

OK... Let's see what secrets you're keeping, shall we?

I will really see my baby?

That's the idea.

(Beeping)

Haha! Oh, my God, this is so cool!

This looks like mush.

Is that a foot? No, that's a...

No, it's a foot.

OK, here we go.

(Sound of heart b*ating)

That's it!

My little baby.

OK, that's strange.

What? Strange? What is strange?

Sorry. I didn't see it before because it's lying along the bottom... the other one.

Congratulations. You're having twins.

Twin babies?

Identical twins.

Hey, you OK?

Look, they're fighting.

(Donnie laughing)

I have to tell my sestra.

Jesus Christ!

She's really losing her sh*t.

I knew that she and Paul were having problems, but nothing like this.

After she got suspended, she wouldn't return any of my calls.

It's not your fault, uh, what happened to her.

Beth took that on herself.

Who's this pregnant girl?

Don't know, but she looks so sad.

Wait, wait, wait. Stop!

Look.

One white eye, she's Neolution too.

So Beth looks into Leekie... then meets with one of his followers?

And M.K.'s maybe steering her, they're not telling the others.

♪

(Ding!)

You need to tell me what you find out.

Whoa, whoa, where the hell are you going?

Back to the beginning of all this sh*t.

FELIX!

AH! Oh, my God!

Hahaha!

Hi!

I called you six bloody times. Why didn't you answer me?

'Cause my phone's been off.

I just got in and up to speed. Can you hand me the towel please so this gets a little less flowers in the attic.

Please, cover your willy.

So, Kira's good? And S?

No, and yes.

We made it.

Yeah.

Let's go grab a drink, and I will catch you up.

Can I just get my space?

Thanks.

I just figured that, you know, I'd give you guys a day to settle in and then I'd come see you all tomorrow.

Well, I haven't slept since yesterday, so get dressed and let's go to the bar.

I missed your face.

Yeah, I guess we can pop down to Bobby's for a nip.

I have another place in mind.

(Muffled dance music playing)

Club Neolution? Are you kidding me?

I need to find this girl and...

I know, you need to find this girl so that you can find the other girl and you can't exactly walk through the door with that face again, can you?

Right.

Good, fine. Meet me round back then.

I'm getting you in, but I'm not paying bloody cover, am I?

Thank you!

See? Same placenta.

That's how they know they're identical.

Well, how is she gonna deal with that?

That's twice the work.

Yeah, and doubley awesome.

Bin, please.

This is Helena we're talking about here.

She eats frozen bread, and she's m*rder*d people.

Well, so have we.

That's different. Helena's trained to k*ll people; we're "manslaughterers."

Softly: Oh, Lord, listen to me.

Honey... are you... upset because of... our issues?

No!

I'm happy for her. Even though she's eating us out of a house and home. And now she wants to do "the crafts"?

Look at the state of this place! I mean, I have a system.

Really? I thought your tail would be wagging, so to speak.

Don't remind me, please.

You do realize that if this girl was pregnant, like, six months ago, she could be home changing nappies by now.

Well, someone must know her, right? So let's just ask around.

Right. I'll start with the bar.
