If you'’re to assume a position of authority in this organization,

we have to be certain of that.

I just need a little time to recuperate before my next operation.

Of course, take some time off.

We can wait to meet with Dr. Harrison

until this afternoon. Three o'’clock?

Fine. See you at 3:00.

[KNOCKING AT DOOR]

[LOUD ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

[KNOCKING]

Yo, man![LAUGHS] Yeah.

Hey, baby.

Mm.

[TAPS]

No way!

If it isn'’t the man himself!

What'’s up, man?

What'’s going on, Axel?Not bad. Not bad.

I heard some crazy rumors about you, man!

Yeah? Well, you know, people are always talking.

What brings you to this part of town?

Well, I'’m looking for Maddie Conlan.

Happen to know where she'’s at?

Been months. What'’s she up to?

I was kind of hoping you'’d tell me.

I mean, this is kind of her office, right? She practically lived here.

Then one day she just stopped coming in. Been weeks now.

Oh, week? Oh...

[LAUGHS] That'’s funny '’cause a few seconds ago, you said months.

Uh, weeks, months, who cares? Been a long time, okay?

Yeah. I'’m guessing you know where she'’s at.

What are you saying, I'’m lying to you?

Yeah. Yeah. You'’re always lying.

Let me tell you something, man.

I can make one phone call,

you'’ll quickly learn what pain really means.

You understand me?

Yeah? You know, I can make one phone call, too.

You know, Mr. Sunny Marco?

I can talk to him about all the gambling kick-backs that you'’ve been skimming.

[KEYPAD BEEPING]

[RINGING]

All right, man, just be cool.

I'’ll be straight with you, all right?

All right. Tell me what I need to know.

A few weeks back she got popped for pinching stolen goods.

And the cop who busted her was on somebody else'’s payroll.

Some... government guys or something.

The word is, she cut some kind of deal.

Where'’s she staying?

Remember Ross, her ex-boyfriend up on Mason Street?

Yeah. Second floor.

She might be staying at his place.

Thank you.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Get near me with that, Doctor, you breathe your last breath.

[GRUNTS]

The man you are holding is Dr. Kenneth Harrison.

The GSA'’s most illustrious biogenetesist.

That'’s why we're so damn cold in here?

Well, actually the temperature of the lab has been lowered

to inhibit the spread of disease and viruses.

Germs freak you out, huh?

I'’m afraid Dr. Harrison must complete his examination.

No, I'’m not gonna be your latest guinea pig.

[GRUNTS]

ECKHART: Well...

This is a side of Emma DeLauro

my intelligence on Mutant X told me nothing about.

Well, I'’m nothing like the rest of those Mutant X freaks.

You call your own teammates freaks?

You consider yourself normal?

I consider myself gifted.

Too valuable to be wasted as some mad doctor'’s lab rat.

I know it'’s a ploy...

but I'’m intrigued.

What did you have in mind?

Why not try a real experiment?

And let me join you.

I beg your pardon?You heard me.

I want to leave Mutant X and come work with the GSA.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[LAUGHING]

[BOTH GRUNTING]

Whoa...

Hey... would you two please be careful.

Careful?

You almost fell back there.

No, I didn'’t.

He looked fine to me.

Well, looks can be deceiving.

This is dangerous business, you guys.

Someone could get really hurt.

Well, that'’s why we practice, Emma.

When we get into a real fight with the bad guys,

we don'’t get hurt.

Sometimes I wish we don'’t have to fight the GSA.

There should be a better way for us to deal with them.

Yeah, absolutely. But, um... there'’s not.

Which is why I suggest

we start taking more precautions.

Precautions?Yeah.

I mean, look at our daily routine...

fighting, flipping...

offense, defense...

throwing around our...

let'’s face it, potentially dangerous powers.

But that'’s what we do.

Yeah, I know, and, and,

I understand that, I do.

But, if Adam expects us to train like this,

we have to think more about our safety.

Are you for real?

All I'’m saying is...

let'’s be safe out there...
