[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Consider this a sample.

The stuff hasn'’t even hit the street yet.

Is it as good as they say?

It'’s better. Trust me.

There'’s more where that came from, lot more.

We'’ll talk.

Hey, what'’s your name?

She'’s my guest.Yeah.

Ciao, bella.Ciao, Milo.

Where have you been hiding?

You look like you could use another one.

Yeah.

Thanks.

I remember the nights when you used to close this place.

Ah, yeah. That'’s before you started watering down the drinks.

[CHUCKLING] Hey.

Crowd looks pretty hot tonight.Always.

So, what do you do?

I, uh, tend to phase from one thing to the next.

Excuse me a moment.

Something to put you in the mood.

Actually, I'’m looking for someone.

I was wondering if you might have seen him around.

Boyfriend?

No, he'’s my brother.

His name is Luke.

Does he look familiar?

Si, si, I have seen him before.

It'’s been a while, couple of months ago maybe.

He was in every night for a week and then he never came back.

Well, [STUTTERING] how was he? How did he look?

He looked like he knew how to have a good time.

What about you? You still know how to have a good time?

Not like I used to.

Here'’s to good times.

To good times.

Oh, my God!

[GASPING]

[YELLS]

What did you give her?

What?

Nothing.

[GASPING]

Lexa.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

NARRATOR: Scientist Adam Kane

was a pioneer of genetic research,

manipulating DNA to save human lives.

But in many, their genes unexpectedly mutated,

and they developed superhuman abilities.

[MUSIC CONTINUES]

Together,

four of the most powerful fight to protect a world

that doesn'’t even know they exist.

They are... Mutant X.

[SIRENS WAILING]

[DOOR OPENS]

She'’s been in and out of it the whole way here.

She gave me this address. Told me to ask for a Doctor Marcus.

I'’m Dr. Marcus.

Take her right into the examination room.

What the hell is that?

This is my lab.

Safe from prying eyes. Please bring her in.

This is an advanced genetics lab.

We'’ve got one of these.In Sanctuary?

Yes, I know.

How?

Adam Kane gave me the money for this lab.

I think because I acted as his conscience all these years.

You must be good.

Yes, of good mind.

[SHALIMAR OVER COMLINK] Jess, what'’s going on? How'’s she doing?

Uh, doctor'’s checking her out, Shal.

What happened?

Um... I wanted to find out where she was sneaking out to at night,

so I followed her down to a club. Ceci Luca.

The guy she met up with put something in her drink,

and all of a sudden she just... She went postal.

[MOUTHING]

Is anybody else hurt? No.

Let'’s just say it was a good thing I was there.

Right now, she'’s stable.

Did you hear that?

Yeah. Thank God.

But I won'’t know more until I identify the substance she ingested.

Well, maybe it'’s time I narrowed that down for you, huh?

Hey, Jesse, why don'’t you stay with her?

Brennan'’s got it covered.

No way. Doc, keep an eye on her. I'’ll be back.

[DOOR OPENS AND SHUTS]

[MILO SPEAKING ITALIAN]

Dimitri.

Dimitri took the rest of the night off.Who are you?

A friend of a friend.JESSE: Hey.

You remember me?

So, how is she?

Your concern is hitting me right here.

Oh, what do you expect? Look what she did to my place.

Oh, trust me...

you'’re gonna look a lot worse than this

unless you tell us what you slipped in her drink.

[SCOFFS] I don'’t know what you are talking about.

[SPEAKING ITALIAN]

One... Two.

It was DXL.

What the hell is DXL?

Uh, you mix it with alcohol.

One hit, and you feel delicious.

She doesn'’t look so "delicious."

Look, I don'’t know why she flipped out.

Where do you score this DXL?

I just got it. It'’s not even on the market.

I just met the guy. He gave me some samples,

he told me to start spreading the good word.

He said there would be a lot more soon.

Now, it'’s gone. I don'’t have any more.

I hate it... when people lie to me.

Where'’d you learn to speak Italian?

There'’s a lot of things you don'’t know about me, Brennan.

It'’s called dexfenfluramine. An adulterated form of it anyway.

It was developed in the early days of Genomex by Dr. Sarah Stanton.

So, what the drug does is create

a highly potent synthetic form of serotonin in the body.

So, Genomex was in the business of experimenting with better ways to get high.

Actually, the project was supposed to be about controlling mutant aggression,

and the narcotic effects on human beings was just a side effect.

A highly addictive side effect.

BRENNAN: So, the good doctor had a taste for her own medicine, huh?

SHALIMAR: She started getting sloppy, making mistakes.

She even started a relationship with one of her mutant subjects,

but the kicker came when one of the patients actually died under her care.

Yeah, she was a real cup of sunshine.

You'’re back on your feet pretty quick.

Something tells me you wouldn'’t have it any other way.

Right. You see, before Adam could have Dr. Sarah arrested,

her lab mysteriously exploded, and she vanished...

until two weeks ago when she was arrested for drug trafficking across the border.

Do you where she'’s being held?

Place called Kroder'’s Prison.

I'’ve got my contacts lining me up for the next prison transfer.

What? So what, we'’re DEA now?

Brennan, I could have killed someone last night.

If this drug goes wide, there'’s no telling how many innocent lives are at stake.

Is that it? Or are you just looking to get your hands on it for revenge?

Whether you like it or not, I'’m going in.

I'’m going with ya.That'’s okay. I got it covered.

I wasn'’t asking.

See, the point is, we can'’t let this happen again

so I'’m going in with you.

Ladies, listen, this ain'’t Mayberry, all right?

These backwoods lock-ups, they tend to be some serious kick-ass places.

Don'’t you worry, then, '’cause I'm getting ready to kick some ass.

I got the results of Lexa'’s bloodwork back.Mmm-hmm.

The drug is still active in her system.

I don'’t understand. How is that possible?

I'’m not entirely certain.

But for some reason, in mutants,

DXL slowly paralyzes the nervous centers.

I hope this is the part where you tell me, "It'’s not as bad as it sounds."

She'’s dying, Jesse.

Total paralysis is inevitable.

Oh, well, there'’s gotta be something we can do.

Not theoretically.

But in order to create an antidote,

I need to know exactly how the drug was modified.

Otherwise, it would take months, and we don'’t have that long.

How much time do we have?

Seventy-two hours, maybe less.

Thank you.

Well, aren'’t you a couple of beauty queens.

It'’s time for the swimsuit competition.

Strip down.

We'’ll start with you first, kitten.

You'’re the one who wanted to come out and play.

You'’re next, princess.

OFFICER: What the hell is that?

You wouldn'’t believe me if I told ya.Try me.

It'’s okay.

I spent some time at a genetic laboratory,

where an ego-maniacal freak

tried to rewire my nervous system

to turn me into a robot killer.

I'’m watching you, sweat pea.

Now, finish getting dressed.

See, people say they want the truth, but they never really mean it, do they?

OFFICER: Take them to their cells.

Brennan?BRENNAN: Yeah.

Lexa'’s dying.

We'’ve got to get her out of that prison. Now.

Like that'’s even possible.

What?We couldn'’t get her to leave even if we wanted to.

Brennan, she needs to know what'’s happening to her.

That'’s a bad idea.

If Lexa knows she'’s dying, she'’s gonna go after Sarah something fierce.

And why exactly is that a bad thing?

She went to go see the nightclub owner after we left last night.

How do you know that?He'’s dead.

We need to keep Lexa in the dark

if we have any hopes of finding Sarah and getting her to play ball.

Okay. Okay, fine, we tell Shalimar.

We tell Shalimar and she doesn'’t let Lexa out of her sight.

You'’re really worried about her, aren'’t you?

Of course. She'’s dying, Brennan.

What, aren'’t you?Yeah.

It'’s just that...

You know, I'’ve never seen you act this way before.

Are you sure you don'’t have a thing for her?

Brennan, take a little look around you.

We haven'’t exactly had the greatest track record recently.

It would be really nice to go a couple of days without one of us dying.

You know?Mmm-hmm.

He still didn'’t answer the question.

[INMATES JEERING]

[GRUNTS]OFFICER: Back off!

I'’m afraid not, little darling.

You'’re coming with me.

You'’re in for a real ride.

Shut your face, Martinez.

Leave her alone!

You and me, we'’re gonna have a real good time.

I kept the other one in solitary.

I don'’t know what happened. She slipped away.

[ALARM BLARING]

[BLARING STOPS]

[OFFICER SNICKERS]

What'’s so funny?

LEXA: Maybe next time, Ed.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

How you doing?

Well, it ain'’t my idea of a weekend in the Hamptons, but...

There she is. Dr. Sarah.

Looks like she had a rough night.

Yeah. She'’s probably been going cold turkey since she got into this dump.

Wonder how she got such a sweet gig.

I think I'’ll find out.

I'’ll get it.

Oh! I didn'’t know she had a little assistant.

Now, you do so back off.

It'’s funny, I was just about to tell you the same thing.

Hey!

OFFICER: Hey, settle!

Chill out.

We don'’t want any trouble.

OFFICER: All clear over here.

OFFICER: Hey, what are you looking at?

Okay, why did you do that?

A fight'’s exactly what I need to open up a profile.

Okay. Well, take a look around.

I don'’t think now'’s the time.

We'’ll find another way to get to her.

All right.

You'’ve got five minutes.Thanks.

What'’s going on?

It'’s Lexa. The drug is still in her system.

It'’s killing her.

And she'’s going to die unless we get an antidote.

Well, can'’t Dr. Marcus...No.

There'’s only one person who can help her, it'’s Dr. Sarah.

So just proceed as planned.

You understand?

Yeah. But how do you tell her?

No. It'’ll make matters worse.

But you'’ve got to get to Sarah.

It'’s Lexa's only chance.

Okay.

Shalimar, keep your eyes on her and keep in touch.

How?

I'’ll miss you, baby.

It'’s keyed into both yours and Lexa'’s DNA.

I thought Sarah could use a little incentive.

Be careful with it, it could kill you, too.

Okay.

Okay. Good luck.

Thanks.

JESSE: All right, I'’ve brought Shalimar up to speed.

And I think I found Sarah'’s partner.

I hacked into the prison'’s visitation records.

Hector Freimark.

He'’s also the mutant she was hanging around with back in her Genomex days.

What?

What, you think you'’re the only one that knows how to work a computer?

No, no, I'’m impressed. Go on.

Well, I also cross referenced him in the mutant database.

He'’s a Molecular. The ability to create explosions.

Hmm. Like the explosion at Dr. Sarah'’s lab, huh?Exactly.

The thing I don'’t understand though is,

if this drug is as deadly to mutants as Dr. Marcus says it is,

then what the hell is he doing hanging out with an addict

who can turn it up a ton?

[GIGGLING]

Where is it? Where is it? I really need it.

I couldn'’t risk bringing it here. Not now.

You did so.

Hey, you gotta stay cool a little bit longer.

[SIGHS] That'’s not good enough anymore.

I want out of here.

Sarah, I know you are hurting, but we re so close.

[STAMMERS] I'’m out there trying to run a business.

Now, you give me the formula, I'’ll have the money to get you out of this place.

Don'’t give me that.

If you wanted me out of this place, you could have blown it up.

And we'’d be throwing away everything we worked for. You know that.

All I know is that I'’m really tired of your excuses.

Get me out of here now.

Like I told you, I can'’t.You better.

You know what? I'’m really starting to wonder

how the cops knew where I was in the first place.

You think I had something to do with that? You'’re paranoid.

Really? I'’m starting to see things the way they really are.

You get me out of here by tomorrow morning

or I'’m gonna start making friends with the DEA.

Now, who'’s paranoid?

Doctor?

Tell me you'’ve made some headway in the antidote.

I wish.

But without knowing how the drug has been modified,

I'’m simply throwing darts.

How is she?

Uh, so far no change.

Tremors will get worse. Soon, she won'’t be able to control it.

I hope you realize the epidemic this could cause, if DXL gets out.

It could be the end of all mutants.

I hadn'’t even thought of that.

I don'’t mean to sound harsh,

but you might have to accept that there is something greater at stake

than saving Lexa.

Hey.

Hey.

Listen, I know who you are and what you are about.

I want to be a part of it.Oh, yeah?

What can you do for me?

Ah.

Where did you get that?

Around a few clubs. That stuff is not easy to come by, you know.

This can change in a couple of days.

That'’s what we hear.

Listen, my buyers are itching to get in on some of the action.

Think you can hook us up?Mmm. You never know.

Come on. Let'’s get out of here.

Come on.

SARAH: She was hired to protect me.

Well, she'’s got a hell of a way to ask for a raise.

More like she got other orders from my boyfriend.

We'’re in business together.

Well, it must be a good business.

Good enough for him to try to double his profit.

You know, if I were you, I'’d start thinking about taking on a new partner.

I'’ve got friends on the outside who are desperate to get in.

No, that'’s okay. I'’ll figure out something for myself.

LEXA: Take a look around, Sarah.

I'’m the only friend you'’ve got.

The only way that I would cut you or anyone else in

is if they could get me on the outside of these bars.

Yeah?

What if I could arrange that?

Oh, yeah? An escape?

By tomorrow?

No, forget it. I'’ll figure something out.

All right, so I talked to Shalimar.

She figures the best time for an escape is during a work detail.

In broad daylight?

Yeah. That way, all we have to do is deal with the guards.

Lot less to try and control that way.

Only the guards.

Brennan, guards with guns.

Guards with guns who are just waiting for them to make a move.

Come on!

Even with Lexa'’s ability, three girls vanishing is going to be a little bit hard to miss.

Yeah, that'’s why we're going in with a two-pronged approach.

Shalimar'’s going to create a diversion.

Give the girls a chance to slip away and find a way back to the Helix.

And what about Shalimar?

[SIGHS] Well, once they figure out what'’s going on,

they'’re gonna gather all the inmates up,

they'’re gonna send them back to lock up.

Thus, we have an easier chance of getting her.

It could work.

It will work.

How did it go with Sarah?

The harder I push, the more she runs away.

Okay, open the gate.

The guys have a way to break us out on work detail.

But we need Sarah on board.

Maybe it'’s time I put my cards on the table.

Last chance, Sarah.

For what?

We'’ve got a plan to break you out during work detail.

What, are you nuts? They'’ll shoot us on sight.

Not if they don'’t know what they are shooting at.

You'’re a mutant.

[GRUNTING]

Listen to me. Take a breath. A deep breath.

Just let it pass.

Here, sit down.

Who sent you?

Adam Kane?

He'’s dead.

Well, that'’s good to hear.

He completely ruined my career.

Yeah, I met him a few times,

but I knew he couldn'’t be trusted.

He always seemed to have a hidden agenda of some sort.

Yeah, that'’s Adam.

Yeah.

Genomex had me develop this drug to eliminate mutants

in case it got to the point where they couldn'’t contain them.

Wait a minute. Adam knew about this?

He was deep in the company. Yeah, he knew.

I assume you'’re here for the antidote.

Your tremors, the blackouts.

You'’re dying.

[EXHALES]

You didn'’t know that?

What did you think was happening to you?

You'’re lying.

No. I developed the drug, sweetheart.

I promise you, it'’s a medical certainty,

by tomorrow, you'’ll be lucky if you can even draw a breath.

Are you asking yourself if I can help?

I'’ll save you the suspense. Yeah, I can.

What do you want?

Take a wild guess.

Oh.

SHALIMAR: [WHISPERING] Lexa, are you there?

Yeah.

Sarah'’s on-board.

Good.

So, when were you guys planning on telling me I was dying?

I guess it kind of slipped your mind, huh?

It'’s not like that, Lexa.

This has always been about saving your life.

Well, relax. Sarah'’s got an antidote.

That'’s great.

Yep.

So, it looks like I'’m dodging one hell of a bullet.

Look.

Take this.

You'’re gonna need it tomorrow more than I am.

Thanks.

Let '’em play.

Hope you didn'’t dirty your outfit. [LAUGHING]

That'’s it, bitch! You'’re mine.

I'’m gonna tear you up.

What are you waiting for, Martinez?

[SCREAMING]

Maybe I should go looking for her?

Look, if there was any kind of a problem, she would have given us a heads up.

How?With the comm-link.

Shalimar gave it to her last night.

Right.

I know you'’re nervous, all right?

But everything is going according to plan.

"Plan"? Brennan, again, she'’s dying.

Yeah, I know. Okay, we just need to give her some time.

Time is the one thing she doesn'’t have right now, Brennan.

[INMATES CHEERING]

Is that all you got, Martinez?

Oh, I'’m not done with you by a long shot.

Okay, something is wrong. I can feel it.

All right, try again.

Lexa, what'’s going on? Where are ya?

Parker, there'’s been an escape. Grab those two.

Ladies, fall in line!

OFFICER: All right, come on. Let'’s move.

JESSE: Lexa, I know you can hear me. Are you hurt?

[SIGHS] It'’s over, Jesse.

What do you mean? What'’s going on?

Let'’s just say there's been a change of plans.

Change how? We can help you.

We'’re way past that. Don'’t you think?

Lexa, give us your location, we'’ll come pick you up.

Don'’t sweat it. I'm not your problem anymore.

Lexa, no, you gotta listen to me. Lexa!

Damn it!

So much for things going according to plans, huh?

Come on, Jesse. There'’s no way we could have predicted this.

Maybe you'’re right.

But the one thing I do know is, if we don'’t find her soon, she'’s going to die.

[DOGS BARKING]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

I don'’t get it.

Now, why would Lexa blow us off?

Maybe Sarah noticed the DXL poisoning her system.

Yeah, used that to manipulate her.

Used that time bomb inside of her as a one-way ticket out of prison.

This would not be happening if we leveled with her to begin with.

You know what, Jesse? Please don'’t go there.

There'’s gotta be away to find Lexa.How?

If Sarah'’s the one calling the shots down there,

there'’s no telling where they are at.

[SIGHS]

Wait a minute.

The deal is going down today and the DXL lab has gotta be closed.

So, what do we do? Just go knocking door to door?

I might have a way to narrow that down.

All right. Get on it, then. Let'’s see if I can break Shalimar out of Kroders.

Okay. Can you cover that on your own?

Are you kidding me? Women in prison are my specialty.

[CHUCKLES] What a guy.

Dr. Marcus, you said that you couldn'’t determine how DXL was genetically modified

because of the processing procedure, right?

Yes.

Okay. Could you at least tell me what chemicals are used in that process?

Lithium aluminum hydride. But I don'’t see how that would help.

Lithium aluminum hydride. Thank you.

What happened to your friends?

I don'’t know . Maybe they slipped through the cracks in your system.

[BUZZING]

[GRUNTS]

OFFICER: We saw you together.

You just started that fight so you could buy them some time.

I wanna talk to my lawyer.

Honey, you'’re gonna be talking to a coroner pretty soon if you don'’t tell me where they are.

One last time. Where are they?

Why don'’t you try Rikers Island? I hear the food'’s better.

[GRUNTS]

We'’re right on schedule.

Think you'’re gonna be happy with the quality of the material we are dealing with here.

Hey! Easy with that.

I'’ll say this for you, kitten,

you'’re either stupid or a glutton for punishment.

How many times do I have to tell you I don'’t know anything?

We'’ll see about that. Dial it up a few notches.

And don'’t say I didn'’t warn ya.

I won'’t. [GRUNTS]

Guard! Somebody help me! Guard!

Let'’s see what you like.

Back up!

Against the wall.[DISTANT CLATTERING]

You okay?

Yeah.

Brennan!

What took you so long?

Don'’t ask. Lexa ditched us.

Any luck?JESSE: Yeah.

I traced the chemical required to process DXL,

it'’s called lithium aluminum hydride.

It'’s quite rare and highly explosive.

A large shipment was recently delivered to a farm not far from the prison.

Nice work.

Looks like our day'’s getting better after all.

Our day ain'’t over yet.

SARAH: I'’m sure Hector's got his men scouting the perimeters.

Well, don'’t worry. Out of sight, out of mind.

Give me your hand.

[GROANING]

Help me.

I don'’t think so.

We had a deal.So what?

I'’m sick of people taking advantage of me. You and Hector and Adam.

I'’m looking out for myself for a change.

Say hi to Adam when you see him.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Well, looks like you'’ve got everything sewn up.

You forgot one little detail... me.

Sarah?

Get everybody out.

Put your gun down. Put it down!

Now!

Go. I got this under control.

Baby.

Put down the gun.

Oh, I wouldn'’t do that, Hector.

You make so much as a spark, we'’re all gonna be toast.

Listen. Baby, we'’ll play this any way you want.

You'’re in charge.

So, why don'’t you come over here, have a little taste...

and we'’ll discuss this.

[HELIX HOVERING]

Lexa!

Get her out of here. I'’m getting the antidote.

SHALIMAR: You got her?BRENNAN: Yeah.

Jesse, get down!

Okay.

Why not?

JESSE: Where is it?

Where is the antidote?

[SHRIEKS]

[SCREAMING]

JESSE: The antidote.

Jesse, don'’t!

Come on, Shal, let'’s get out of here.

[SCREAMING]

[EXPLOSION] [GLASS SHATTERING]

[EXPLOSION]

She'’s not breathing.

JESSE: Hold on.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING] It'’s okay.

Come on.

Nothing.

I'’m sorry, Jesse.

No! [GRUNTS]

Come on!

I got a pulse.

[GASPING]

Hey.Hey.

Hey.

Feeling any better?[CHUCKLES]

You know, it'’s amazing how we take for granted the little things,

like showering alone.

Well, you know, if you, uh, miss the company...

[CHUCKLES SOFTLY]

You wish. [CHUCKLES]

So, what'’s the word?

Well...

the good news is, the entire shipment of DXL went up in flames,

bad news is, so did the inventor.

Well, at least we know what happened to Lex won'’t happen to anybody else.

LEXA: Amen to that.

Good to see ya.Well, it'’s good to be seen.

I hope you understand why we chose to keep you in the dark

as far as your health was concerned.

Yeah, I figured you'’re the one who spearheaded that decision.

It'’s okay. I would have done the same thing in your shoes.

So, did Dr. Marcus give you a clean bill of health?

Next best thing.

There'’s not a trace of DXL left in my system.

Well, you have Jesse to thank for that one.

Yeah, I know. You guys know where he is?

In the lab, I think.

Thanks.

Hey. Heard the good news.

Thanks to you.

You took quite the risk.

Goes with the territory.

For you, maybe.

I guess I'’m wired differently.

I suppose that'’s why I'’ve learnt to keep people at an arm'’s length.

That sounds like a really sad way to go through life.

Yeah, well, personal feelings tend to get in the way.

It'’s all about survival.

If it wasn'’t for personal feelings, you wouldn'’t be standing here right now.

You know that.

Yeah.

And how does that factor into your equation?

I don'’t know. I guess I'’m still trying to figure that one out.

Yeah.
