All language subtitles for The Invisible Man - S01E06 - Impetus 360p

I think it was a Brit named Sir Robert
Walpole who coined the phrase, all men

have their price. Now, I happen to
agree, although my point of view on the

matter has changed.

See, I used to think my price would be
money or diamonds or gold, you know?

Well, imagine my surprise when I
realized that my price has become a

the arm.

Hey, don't get me wrong. I still have
expensive taste.

Your tax dollars paid millions for me to
get that needle.

Well, good morning, Dr. Keeper. Good
morning.

We got there a little murder mystery.

Now, I'm guessing you're not the murder
mystery type, are you?

About romance novel.

Now, I'm guessing words like sweaty body
and love canal probably aren't really

in your vocabulary, are they? I have a
very large vocabulary.

Really?

However, there are certain sides of me
that you will never see.

I bet.

I got it. Advanced textbook on molecular
biochemistry. Is that it?

What are you talking about? The piece of
literature you're so deeply engrossed

in. No, this is actually a computer
printout that I am sure you would find

boring. Come on, try it.

All right.

It's a recombinant analysis of the DNA
at 8P12 -P11 on subject X3.

Okay, so I'm here for a fix. It's a bad
time. Yeah, I thought so.

Pony up.

Pony up?

Right on schedule. Thank you.

Why don't you tell me something, Doc?

Why are you here?

What do you mean?

I mean, come on. You're obviously way
smarter than your average Josephine. You

know, you could probably get six, seven
figures working for JPL or, I don't

know, one of those biotech companies.

So the question I have is, what's your
counterage?

You know, I mean, what are they holding
over you to get you to work here?

You have a very warped perspective on
this place. Oh, yeah.

The agency isn't some evil institution
that blackmails people into doing its

bidding. Really? Then I guess you
wouldn't mind giving me the formula for

counteragent so I can get the hell out
of here. Don't you think your situation

is a tad more complicated than that?

You're not going to give it to me, are
you?

For your own good. Yeah, I didn't think
so.

Wait a minute, wait a minute.
Something's wrong with the Quicksilver

Hey, that document is none of your
business. Well, no, I mean, seeing as

your only patient and that thing says
I'm going to begin to suffer greatly and

then die, I would say, yes, it is my
business. Don't be so egocentric.

Everything is not about you. Look, will
you answer the question, is something

wrong with the gland? I have answered
the question.

There once was a story about a man who
could turn invisible.

I thought it was only a story.

Until it happened to me.

Okay, so here's how it works. There's
this stuff called quicksilver that can

bend light.

Some scientists made it into a synthetic
gland, and that's where I came in.

See, I was facing life in prison, and
they were looking for a human

So, we made a deal.

They put the gland in my brain, I walk
free.

The operation was a success, but that's
where everything started to go wrong.

Hey, Hobbs.

Let me ask you a question, huh? What do
you know about the caper? Caper? Yeah,

what?

Making the mercury rise, huh?

No. Huh?

That accent, isn't it? Isn't it?

It's exotic. That English thing gets
your blood boiling, juices flowing.

You got that hair cascading down her
neck, the thick, howdy lips. Okay,

scaring me now, Hobbs. Can't deny it.

It's the falling in love with your
shrink syndrome. I know, I've been

What, you fell in love with your shrink?
Oh, seven of them.

My advice?

Resist. Post me a marriage, my friend.
Look, now, Hobbs, you got it all wrong.

mean...

It just occurred to me that she has my
life in her hands. I don't know a damn

thing about her. You know, I mean, for
example, does she have a name, huh?

The.

Last name Keeper. That's all you need to
know, my friend. Yeah. Okay, another

example. Another example. Am I the only
one the Keeper keeps, or are there other

kepts? How many times have I tried to
explain to you that being an

operative is a need -to -know
occupation?

That's it. Yeah, and what kind of doctor
is she, really? You know, I mean, think

about this. I mean, is she the, you
know, most qualified to deal with my

Need -to -know.

Hops, this is the person responsible for
whether I live or suffer in great pain

and die. I mean, personally, I think I
need to know. No, you don't, because if

you need to know, you'd know. But they
decide you don't need to know, so you

don't. So stop thinking about what you
don't know, because you don't need to

know what you think you need to know
about.

Enjoy the ignorance, my friend. It's
bliss.

I think the keeper's starting to like
me.

See, I know this because she finally
gave me a key to her place.

Of course, why wouldn't she give me the
key?

She isn't worried about me stealing the
counter, is she? Because I don't know

how to dilute this stuff anyway.

Now, what the keeper should be worried
about is my curiosity.

Especially when it involves a document
about someone who may well be me,

suffering great pain and dying.

in the future.

Maybe Gertrude.

I don't know, maybe Hortense, but
Claire.

Oh, are you a stranger?

Fine, how's my favorite?

Family. Oh, we're good.

And we missed you this weekend at the
game.

Keith threw a 45 -yard touchdown. Wow,
that's very good, I think.

He exaggerated. It was more like 30.
More like 20.

So I just came by to pick up those
school pictures you promised me. Not a

I'm letting you see that gross -out
picture.

Shit, is it?

Oh, do you think I could have a copy of
yours, Keith? Oh, yeah, sure. I'll go

get them. All right.

Hey, we just got dinner.

You want to join us? No, no, thanks. I
just ate.

Oh. Well, come by later on, whenever. We
have a video. Oh, I wish I could, but I

can't. I've got stuff to do at home. Oh,
okay.

Next time? Yeah, sure. Here.

It's one of Kelly's in there, too. Hey,
I said I didn't want anyone to see that.

Can we see it?

Oh, you look beautiful, Kel.

Can I keep it, please?

Okay, but it's for your eyes only.
Right, my eyes only.

Being a guy who can turn invisible is a
bit like being an alcoholic.

I have to go easy on the silver stuff or
I could lose control.

Plus, the more I use it, the more
counteragent on me.

Okay, maybe it is a bad analogy, see,
but the point is I have to limit my use

the invisibility.

It's a good thing I'm pretty good at
remaining invisible without actually

invisible.

Did you miss me?

I missed you.

But you know you love me?

I miss you always.

No more barking at your buddy Darren,
okay?

What was that? The

keeper said that there were certain
sides of her I'd never seen.

If she only knew how many sides of her I
could see.

You

know

in the cartoons when they have the
little angel on one shoulder and the

devil on the other telling the guy what
to do?

Well, these days, I try. I really try to
listen to the angel.

But with me, somehow the devil always
wins.

Hey.

Hey. Any luck?

Matter of fact, yes.

I've been running all the recombinant
possibilities with the variation we

to put in AP -12, and I think this one
might work.

Good. Keep working on it.

How's she doing?

Oh, depressed as always.

Oh, can you blame her?

Mm -hmm.

All right.

Hello, sweetheart.

I brought you some special ones.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

Oh, they're growing up so fast.

Kelly looks more and more like you.

Should I put them up?

Oh, yes.

Oh, thank you for being there.

Didn't need a woman in their lives.

Stop it.

I needed a family in mine.

I'm glad I got the chance to befriend
them. I just hope you let me continue to

hang out with them when we go home.

I don't think you have to worry about
that.

I'm never going home. You are going
home.

Soon. You've been telling me that for
ten years.

I promised I would get you out of here,
and I will.

Yeah.

I'm just afraid it'll be in a pine box.
You are not going to die here. Gloria,

this is as important to me as it is to
you.

Okay.

Sorry, I never thought of the keepers
having a mother.

Now maybe she's an aunt or old friend or
something.

Now that doesn't matter, because the
bottom line is, I found what's keeping

Claire at the agency.

Which means maybe I found my way out.

General Grimm, sir.

Thank you.

Tell me she's dead.

Not yet, sir.

Cal and I make my presentation to the
Joint Chiefs next week.

I know that, sir, but is it really
necessary to kill the woman sooner? I

just, I don't think... You have kids,
Callum.

Yes, sir.

You care about them.

That's safety.

Yes, but this... There are people.

There are people out there who are
threatening that safety.

Sir, with respect, I'm just trying to
understand why killing Gloria sooner is

going to make any difference in that
situation. Because I can stop those

As long as no one ever learns about that
woman.

Sir.

If we wait just a little bit longer, the
natural course of her disease is going

to kill that woman with no interference
necessary from us.

You have three days for nature to take
its course.

Yes, sir.

Hey, what's up, man? Hey, what's going
on?

You know what? I just picked up some
cappuccinos for Hobbs and the keeper,

know, the blonde.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm
saying?

Yeah, yeah. Hey, well, anyway, they
already took off. You don't want them,

you? No, no.

No, I'll take these. I got a guy inside
anyway. Beautiful, man. Knock yourself

out. Thanks a lot. Take care.

Got a cup of Chino for you.

Thanks.

I always believed in the saying, one
good turn deserves another.

I scratch your back, you scratch mine.

I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

I kind of figure it like this.

I release the prisoner they're
blackmailing the keeper with, and the

gives me the formula for the
counteragent they're blackmailing me

I guess you just can't get good help
these days.

Her name is Gloria.

She escaped from a holding cell in lab
two tonight.

Well, that's new.

I gotta tell you, I did not know that
the agency was in the business of

prisoners. We're not.

It was a unique situation.

Favor for another agency.

And now you got egg on your face because
she got away.

Yeah, how'd that happen?

Apparently she punched out one of our
agents who was holding her.

Decked the other one with a tray.

What? This old broad right here knocked
out two agents. She's got to be 80 years

old. Actually, she's 35, and she's a
trained combat soldier.

What do you mean she's 35?

She's the victim of an experiment that
went bad.

What is it with this agency and
experimenting on people? It wasn't this

Uh -huh.

You know what?

I don't care what you think. What I do
care about is that she's out there, and

we need to get her back fast.

Wait, you want her back?

Yes, of course.

She's carrying around a rare version of
a genetic disease called... Werner

syndrome.

That's right.

It's when you get old real fast, right?

Yeah. Children are born with it. Once
they become teenagers, they start to age

very rapidly, and it eventually kills
them in its natural state.

Yeah, well, why do I sense this old
lady's in the unnatural state?

Because she is.

Her version was genetically engineered
in the lab and delivered via retrovirus.

During the experiment that the agency
didn't do.

Yes, that's right. And the longer she's
out there, the worse her situation could

become. Why's that?

Because anybody who comes into contact
with Gloria is at risk.

A kiss, blood... Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Are you telling me that she's
contagious?

I'm afraid so.

Oh, God.

Hey, you know what? I'm going to need a
little booster before we head out.

Why? You shouldn't even be close to
needing one.

Okay, the only reason you'd be this low
is if you'd been using Quicksilver

without authorization.

What have you been... What did you do?

What are you talking about?

Oh, of course.

An 80 -year -old woman didn't knock out
two agents. You did.

Where do you come up with this stuff? Do
you have any idea of the mess you

caused?

Look, I thought I was doing you a favor.

What? I thought she was your mom, your,
you know, relative or something. I mean,

come on. I mean, I did overhear you
promise her that you would get her out

here. When?

Never mind.

We don't have time for this. All right,
I will give you a booster, but only so

you can get out there and fix your mess.

General Kerman, sir.

What happened?

I'm afraid Gloria escaped, sir.

Well, now that figures.

A man that runs that place isn't
worthless.

I had him fired from internal
investigations ten years ago.

I never knew you were at the IID, sir.

I wasn't.

That fat idiot opened up a file on my
counter -bio weapons unit, so I called

a favor.

What do you want me to do, sir?

On Tuesday, Colonel, I'm proposing a
plan to the Joint Chiefs that will

our shores from bioterrorism of all
kinds now.

If that panel is forced to investigate
my one failure from a similar program in

a path, a delay could keep us from
building that protection in time.

Well, sir, I think I might have some
very good news. You two are very, very

close to a new antidote that might be
able to save Gloria's life.

Now, how's that good news?

Sir, your problem would be solved.

There would be no casualties from the
old research unit.

Your record would be spotless.

And when she's fully recovered, she'll
testify before the committee about her

ten years of suffering.

How do you think that might...

Color their opinion about proposals for
further human testing, hmm?

Sir, we're talking about the life of a
soldier that used to be under your

command. Yes, we are.

A soldier took an oath to die for her
country, the same oath you took.

I understand, sir.

But you mean they find her alive.

You will replace the antidote with the
placebo.

All of it.

Is that clear?

Yes, sir.

Good.

May I help you?

Oh, please don't stop on my behalf.

You want me to call someone for you? No,
please.

Just enjoy the children.

Do you need help with something?

Maybe some money?

No.

Have we met?

I don't... think so.

Come on, guys. Let's go inside.

Do you know Gloria Howard?

Gloria was my wife.

Why?

She passed away.

She was killed in Desert Storm.

Is that what they told you?

Ben, don't believe everything you're
told.

How do you know my name?

I know much more than that.

Answer my question. How do you know my
name?

Gloria told me.

What is it? What?

Hazmat. Hazmat. Hazardous materials.

You'd be wearing one, too, if you had
any brains.

You knew Gloria before she died?

You might say that.

You know what?

I'm not waiting around anymore, okay?

Hey, don't touch that lady!

All right, everybody, freeze!

Always remember, I love you.

Ma 'am, ma 'am.

Look, no, no, no, no. Look, look, look.
I'm not going to hurt you.

I'm not going to hurt you. Federal
agents, please, don't move. We're here

secure the area.

You just, you know, come along
peacefully. Actually, Claire's waiting.

It's okay. It's okay.

Oh, my God.

I didn't mean to.

Package delivered, sir.

Good work, Bobby.

Well, you didn't tell me it works this
fast.

What are you doing?

Just checking her over.

How is he?

Who? Agent Fox.

I feel horrible.

Why would you bite him, Gloria?

Because I thought he was sent to kill
me.

Why would he want to kill you?

Your people want me dead one way or the
other.

That is not true.

You told my family I was dead.

Why did you do that if you expected me
to ever go home?

I didn't tell them that, Gloria. The
Department of Defense told them.

But you didn't set them straight, did
you?

You didn't tell them the truth.

No.

I never did that.

You haven't been telling the truth to
anybody.

I've tried to.

It's just been very difficult. I'm going
to sleep now.

If you'd have listened to me and worn
the hazmat suit like I told you, we

wouldn't be in this mess.

What do you mean, we?

How are you feeling?

Like a million years old.

Breathe in.

Are you going to tell me why the agency
developed this awful stuff?

Kind of a weird bioweapon, isn't it? I
told you the agency didn't develop it.

Breathe in.

Oh, they didn't, okay.

Okay, I'll buy it. Who did?

You don't need to know that. Whoa, whoa.

Let's start with the need to know crap.
We need to know. What you think we don't

need to know, what you think we don't
need to know. We need to know about it.

All right?

They're going to blame me. Quicksilver
takes on a whole new meaning now. All

right? More like slow silver.

Or dead silver. Game over.

I'm out of a job.

Don't you think I have the right to know
why I'm the subject of two agency

experiments? You aren't the agency.

It was the counter -bio unit of the
Department of Defense.

During Desert Storm.

The experiment actually wasn't all that
nefarious. It was a genetically

engineered super vaccine to help protect
against biological weapons.

I was a junior researcher. We had tested
the vaccine extensively. I was positive

it was safe.

And you tested it on Gloria? She
volunteered.

Almost immediately after injection, she
began demonstrating the symptoms of

Werner syndrome. I was mortified. I
stayed up for four days trying to figure

what went wrong.

What did you find out?

I had selected the wrong sequence with
which to attach the new genes.

The vaccine mutated a gene on chromosome
8 that causes Werner syndrome.

Well, I guess in other words, it was
your fault.

Yes.

It was my fault.

So if this happened back in Desert
Storm, how come Gloria isn't like, you

5 ,000 years old now?

I mean, considering how fast Mr. Slow
Silver here is aging.

No, this version doesn't work that way.

It converts all your cells immediately.
It changes them to a state very similar

to that of a 70 -year -old, and then it
keeps on going normally.

Gloria's now more like 80.

So I guess that document that I found
about, you know, suffering and dying

was... What's it about?

Gloria. Gloria.

So how come she's a ward of the agency
now, not the Department of Defense?

Well, because the general in charge
didn't want to expend resources for me

find a cure. His attitude was that
Gloria was a casualty of war. So why is

agency paying for it?

After your brother died, they needed
somebody to run the Quicksilver program.

I was the only one with the necessary
expertise and the necessary clearance.

So you made a deal with the fat man.

Yes.

I would work on Quicksilver.

In return, the agency would house Gloria
and finance my work towards finding the

cure. Please tell me you're close.

We have a new trial antidote. We need to
do some more testing on it, but I'm

pretty sure it's going to work.

What the hell are you waiting for? Will
you give it to me? No.

No. It's too dangerous.

Give it to me.

Wait here.

You got batch three ready?

Yeah, two batches.

Let's do it.

Okay.

You know what?

You should give Gloria hers.

She trusts you more right now.

You got it.

Here's Fox's batch.

Happy new life.

It didn't work.

Maybe it takes time.

How soon will I die?

Who says you're going to die?

Cut the crap, Justin.

Wait.

In the next few days.

I'm sorry.

Don't be.

It's a relief.

You seem to be completely free of the
Werners.

Hey, Doc, you know I meant it well,
right?

Yeah, I know.

And you really thought that I was
related to Gloria?

Believe me, nothing would surprise me
around this place.

As well it shouldn't.

Since we're, you know, kind of bonding
here, there's actually something else I

should apologize for, Claire.

How do you know my name?

Well, that right there, that's... But I
want to apologize for I was sort of

spying on you.

What?

How dare you? No, look, I just, I wanted
to know who the printout was about, so

I just, I was, you know, following you
around a little.

I'm sorry, okay?

That's actually how I knew about Gloria.

You followed me around? Where?

What did you see exactly?

Well, let's just say I saw a different
side of you. What side did you see

exactly? It's good. It's a very good
side.

What's that supposed to mean?

Your human side.

Hey, I think in the scheme of things,
it's not really all that important, you

know? I mean, what's important is that
the antidote worked and Gloria can see

her family now, you know?

No.

Actually, the antidote didn't work on
Gloria.

Wait a minute, what do you mean it
didn't work? Why not?

I don't know.

Maybe it had something to do with how
advanced her disease was, or maybe it

worked on you because of the quicksilver
gland or the counteragent.

We're still studying the blood.

Can I see her?

So it didn't work on you either.

I'm glad it did.

At least I don't have to feel guilty
about that.

No.

Look, I want to know why it didn't work
on you.

Because they don't want it to.

Who doesn't?

Your agency.

Is that true?

No, of course not. I've told you I
dedicated the past ten years to

this.

I'm just curious, who gave her the shot?

Justin did.

Justin who? I mean, how well do you know
that guy?

Justin Callum.

He was assigned to me when Gloria was
brought in. He's been working as hard on

this as I have.

Answer the question, how do you know he
gave her the right shot?

Why wouldn't he?

Because maybe Gloria's right.

Yeah, maybe the official assigned him to
keep you from finding a cure.

But why would he do that?

Because Gloria being sick is the only
thing keeping the keeper.

Well, there's one way to find out, huh?

You give her the antidote yourself, and
this time make sure it's the one you

gave me.

Why not, huh?

What's it going to hurt?

Hmm?

Fine.

Hey, it's okay.

This is the same vial I took you off
from.

Help me.

If he's right, this isn't going to be
pleasant.

And this is.

Well, does that reaction look familiar?

Hmm?

I've got to get a lock.

Who is Justin Callum?

He's a lab tech in lab two.

You know what I mean. Did you assign him
to purposely derail my research?

Now, why would I do that?

To keep me working here.

Did he put this idea in your head?

Guilty. You really think that low of me
fucks? Well, yeah.

Yeah, it does sound like something I
might do.

But important fact, I didn't assign
Calum.

The Department of Defense did.

General Grimmond?

Yeah.

I should have bloody seen that.

Wait, wait, wait a minute.

I don't understand. Why would the
Department of Defense want to see you

No, not the Department of Defense, just
General Grimmond.

He doesn't want the failure of his
program public.

Oh, I got you. So if you cure Gloria,
she goes free, then the whole world

about his little fiasco, huh?

Where are you going?

I'm going to go bust that scrawny little
rat's ass.

No!

Why not?

Because I've been waiting for this
opportunity for ten long years.

What happened?

Well, sir, I'm not sure.

Somehow Gloria got injected with the
antidote. Well, now, how could that

Callum? I'm not sure, sir. I switched
the vials like you ordered. I gave her

placebo injection myself. They must have
given her some of the antidote they

made for the other guy.

The other guy?

Yes, sir. The agent that brought her
back in. She bit him. My orders were to

destroy all of the antidote and replace
it with the placebo. Not some of it. Not

most of it. All of it!

That wouldn't be very nice.

Who said that?

Hey, how are you? Could you just speak
up a little bit louder, right into the

mic, and if you could just say the part
again about destroying the antidote,

that would... No.

Never mind, I'm pretty clear to God.
Hey, did you guys get that?

Got it right here. Got it, got it. Hey,
really, some very incriminating stuff. I

think you'll be pleased.

How?

You know about this? No, sir.

General Grumman.

I'll try not to say it.

You. Yeah, me.

Ain't life ironic.

What do you want?

You want your old job back.

Are you kidding me? I love my current
job.

I don't have to take any crap from
buzzheads like you.

Called in a few of my old buddies from
your internal investigation division.

I believe they'll be court -martialing
you now.

Ooh, ouch.

That's not good. That's bad.

Soldier, that's some of my best work.

Vintage Bobby Hobbs here. Put it in your
right hand.

What is our work?

Carry on.

Well done, boys.

No, we don't need anyone.

Claire, what a nice surprise.

Are the children here?

Kay and Kay, Claire's here.

What's up?

Well, I have a surprise.

Hi. Listen, I have something wonderful
to show you. Now, this might be a little

bit hard to accept, but I assure you
this is happening.

Don't believe everything you're told.

Oh, my

gosh.

Folks.

Federal agent, folks. We need to discuss
a few particulars here, folks.

I understand you're all going to be
privy to some classified information

vital to the national security of the
country.

I need to discuss.

It's my pleasure.

Feels good, doesn't it?

Yeah.

It's about you, huh?

What are you going to do now?

What do you mean?

Well, I mean, there's no reason for you
to work at the agency anymore.

That's not true.

And a very important reason.

Assuming you're still going to be there.

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely. I can stick around for
a while.

Just when you think you know all the
payoffs that exist.

Carry on.

Money, gold, jewels, needle in the arm.

Another one sneaks up and surprises you.

Just like people often do.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
