Original subtitles

So anyway, I went down to headquarters and I marched right into her office and

said, once and for all, this time I'm not going to settle for second fiddle. I

want to take the lead in something.

And what did she have to say about that?

You know, it's so hard to tell with that accent. It's like she has no emotion,

but she did tell me she'd think about it and that's a start, right?

Definitely seems like you've made some progress.

How about we, uh...

Pick up where we left off next week.

Okay.

Let me walk back.

Well, thanks for listening.

Is this the office of Dr.

Hayes?

Come in, please.

So, I'm looking to speak to Dr.

Hayes. I'm a journalist writing a special assignment for AWOL, and I have

questions regarding one of his patients.

I'm Dr. Hayes.

Oh, excuse me.

I didn't realize.

Do you have a few moments for me?

Sure. What was your name?

Laura Bradford. Ah, I knew I recognized you.

I read Rural Magazine.

So, Ms. Bradford, you said you have some questions to ask me?

Yeah, regarding one of your patients, Cassidy Klein, her mother or sister may

have signed her under your care some months ago, and she was recently

by a lesbian cult.

A lesbian cult?

Yeah, that's the current theory.

Mantis, you know.

So what's your take on lesbianism, Ms. Bradford?

Well, we both know the politically correct term for that.

I didn't ask you what the politically correct answer was. I asked you how you

felt about it.

I don't think it really matters what I feel.

Back to Cassidy.

How about we dive a little deeper into that?

Are you attracted to women, Miss Bradford?

I can be somewhat fluid.

Fluid? That's a very interesting choice of words.

Are you thinking about fluid right now, Miss Bradford?

Maybe something?

Or someone.

Okay, baby.

You can tell the doctor about us.

You don't have to be afraid, Laura.

I respect patient confidentiality.

Sorry, I was just thinking about my partner who suggested I come see you

Your partner?

Very interesting choice of words again.

Very generalized.

Very vague.

Is your partner also interested in Miss Klein?

Laura, don't you want to touch these?

That's what I thought.

You don't have to be afraid to admit that you're a lesbian, Laura.

I'm sorry. I'm having a lot of trouble focusing.

It's okay.

Clearly this subject is an emotional trigger for you.

Did you really come here to talk to me about my patients?

Or did you just come here to talk to me?

I thought I came here to talk about Cassidy.

You can tell her, baby.

Tell her you find her attractive.

I find you attractive.

It's all right, Laura. It's perfectly normal to find someone in a position of

authority.

Attractive. Or maybe just someone with that.

Is this your car, Laura?

I'm right here.

You can't do this. I'm sorry.

You don't have to worry about Sandra.

Wait. How do you know her name?

In fact, something doesn't feel right here. What's going on? Laura, before you

freak out.

Oh my god, baby. I don't know what to say. I can't explain.

Laura, calm down, alright? We were just trying to calm you down.

There's something you need to know.

I haven't exactly been honest with you.

My name isn't Sandra.

It's Agent Kush.

I'm a Mantis agent.

And Dr. Hayes?

Well, she's not an actual doctor, though we all treat her like one at

headquarters. She's a Mantis agent, too.

Agent Kush?

Yeah.

Wait, wait, wait. So you abducted Cassidy? Is that why you're so weird and

obsessed with her case?

No, Laura.

Agent Klein.

is also a member of Mantis.

Agent Klein?

Yeah, we knew as soon as she was compromised we had to bring you in on

mission and tell you the truth.

Oh, my God. I like to think that I have an open mind, but you two have

officially lost me.

Sandra, or whoever you are, you need to tell me right now why you were sent in

to protect me.

You're a most valuable asset to Mantis, Laura, just like Isadora Johnson and

Hallie White.

Two other kidnapped victims?

Not six thumbs, Laura.

Also Mantis agents.

What the fuck? Is every woman who's abducted a Mantis agent?

Laura, we need you to calm down, okay? There's something we have to tell you.

I'm listening.

Okay, baby, this is really important.

It's Laura.

Okay, Laura.

No matter what the media is telling you, we're not behind the disappearances.

Mantis is being framed.

That's why she was sent in, to protect you.

You are the ultimate truth seeker, Laura.

If you can't find out the truth, then no one can.

It's okay, baby.

Everything will be okay.

What the fuck? How are you guys getting in my head?

Mantis has made many advances in technology and science, Laura.

It's enabled us agents with certain gifts.

What kind of gifts?

Do you want us to show you?

Yeah. Do you want to know the truth about Manta?

Let me see how you do.

Just wait until you become a part of us.

It just gets better.

You're so ugly.

You're so ugly.

I want

you to make her cry. You want to be a good agent, Micah?

Good girl.

I love you.

Thank you.

She's now ready.
