Original subtitles

SHALIMAR: Look out, Lex. There'’s no way of knowing how many we'’re dealing with.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

[SHOUTS] Hey.

Ugh.

Aah!

[GRUNTS]

Aah!

That was close.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Good job, girl.

Oh, that'’s it.

I'’m hitting the shower.

Me first.

What the hell do you guys think you'’re doing?

Just having a little, uh...

[LAUGHS] Innocent fun.

LEXA: You guys don'’t get out much do you?

Aw, come on, we'’re just getting to the good part.

Lex, you don'’t understand what I'’ve done here.

I'’ve totally improved Sanctuary'’s holosystem,

by modifying the game to match our,

specs.

Well, nice going, Nerd Wonder.

Now delete it.

What?Do it.

Or I'’ll smash your computer in half.

Shal, you are totally over reacting.

I guess it was fun while it lasted.

Dude, this is totally your fault.

What a waste.

Everybody happy?

Deleted.

BRENNAN: Uh huh.

Well, looks like it'’s a little one on one.

Yeah, it could'’ve been two on two.

[BRENNAN CHUCKLES]

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.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

Together, four of the most powerful fight to protect

the world that doesn'’t even know they exist.

They are Mutant X.

[BRENNAN LAUGHS]

[LAUGHS]

Swish!

Phew!

Ooh, two points.

BRENNAN: I'’ll take you to the rack, baby. Come on.

[MURMURING]

Hey, Bren?

Yeah, what'’s up, Shal?

I could'’ve sworn I saw someone run past my room.

We didn'’t see anything.

LEXA: Hey, Jess, did you take a look at the climate control?

Yeah, in a sec. We'’re in the middle of a game.

It'’s 80 degrees and rising.

Did you try and override it?

No, I thought I'’d come down here and whine about it first.

[SCOFFS]

Practice.

It'’s not responding.

LEXA: Wonder why?

This is not my fault. Don'’t blame me.

There'’s no way the game could'’ve compromised the system, alright?

Well, maybe it drew down too much power.

Overloaded the computer.It'’s a game.

What difference does it make? I wiped it from the drive, you remember?

Okay, someone'’s in here. I saw him again.

What?She'’s seeing things.

I am not.

Shal, we'’re alone.

Come here. Look.

There we go.

Four heat points.

One, two, three, four of us, right?

I don'’t care what your computer says.

I saw him. I felt him

Jess, what are doing about this heat, man?

Dude, I'’m trying.

There'’s a glitch in the system.

I think we should do a security sweep.

BRENNAN: Hey, look, Jess.

What is this?

JESSE: What the hell?

So, soldier, you think you have what it takes

to become a member of our Tunnel Quest team?

I thought you deleted that program.Yeah, I did.

Alright, now, what are you doing about this heat?

Ah.

I guess I'’ll try to access the thermostat through Sanctuary'’s brain.

Hmm.

Jesse'’s right. Place is clear.

I'’m not imagining things.

I saw something.

But for some reason I'’m not picking up a scent anywhere.

It'’s so strange.

Well what exactly did you see?

It'’s hard to explain. It was big, but it was a blur.

Was it a man,

or a woman?I don'’t know.

Like a ghost or something.

Out of the way.

What the hell happened?

The circuitry'’s overheated.

I mean, is it just me, or is this place freaking out?

Alright, Jess, come on. Let me in there.

Oh, I'’ve almost got it.

You can'’t just blast this with one of your charges, Brennan.

It'’s delicate stuff.

Yeah, I see that. [SCOFFS]

Meanwhile I'’m frying over here.

[COM-LINK BEEPING]

Jess, why'’s the security system activated?

It'’s not.

Well, you might want to come take a look at this.

[BEEPS]

Oh, this can'’t be happening.

These two dots are Lexa and Shalimar.

The security system'’s interpreting them as intruders.

Shut it down before the system attacks.

Yeah, it'’s not working.

We need to get them out of there.

Shal, Lex.

We got a big problem here. You need to get down to the Helix now.

What'’s going on?

Security system has detected you both as hostiles.

So get out of here.

Hurry.

[SECURITY ALARM RINGING]

What'’s happening here, Jess?

Sanctuary'’s going into a lockdown, and I can'’t control it.

Get out of here, now.

[SHOUTS] Come on, let'’s go.

What about the guys?

Shalimar, there'’s no time.

Get out of here now.

The hangar door'’s closing.

We can beat it.

We'’ll be sheared In half.

Let'’s hope you're wrong.

Why do I get the feel there'’s nothing you can do about this?

Right now I'’m not in control of anything, Brennan.

[ALARM SOUNDS]

Well, who is?

Wouldn'’t you like to know, Mr. Mulwray?

In my game,

I decide who lives,

and who dies.

That was cutting things pretty close.

Oh, we had at least two more seconds to clear the doors.

You got ice-water running through your veins.

So what are we going to do about Brennan and Jesse?

I'’m Afraid that was a one way ticket.

I'’ve isolated the Helix's computer link to Sanctuary.

[EXHALES]

We can'’t afford to let it infect the system, or we could drop from the sky.

I wonder if our com-links are active.

I don'’t know. Keep your fingers crossed.

Brennan?

Brennan, can you read me?

Yeah, we'’re here. We're locked up in the hangar.

Jesse'’s trying to figure out what'’s going on.

I'’ll tell you what's going on, that game of yours infected the system.

Had to, but, I don'’t see how.

JESSE: Look, Sanctuary'’s got firewalls to protect it from

even the most high-tech viruses.

Guys, are you there?

Shal.

Hey, guys. Lexa,

you guys there?

Brennan, can you hear me?

[SIGHING IN EXHAUSTION] It'’s no use.

The virus must'’ve infected communications.

Brennan.

SHAL: Brennan?

BRENNAN: Shalimar, I'’m here.

But I don'’t know for how much longer.

What'’s our next move?

Jesse thinks there'’s a way to override the system. But, you have to do it from the ground.

How?

Adam installed a back door system in an off-site facility

in case of emergency.

That'’s news to me.

BRENNAN: Well, lucky for us there'’s some things you don'’t know.

Adam took every precaution against Sanctuary being compromised.

So where'’s this facility?

There'’s a warehouse at 51, Shepherd.

Call me from there.

Jesse will talk you through the backup system.

You got it.

[PHONE DIALING]

OPERATOR: Nine-one-one.

Yes, thank God.

The two terrorists responsible for the explosion at Syntech,

are on their way to 51, Shepherd.

But you'’ve got to get there right away.

They'’re armed and dangerous.

OPERATOR: Identify yourself, please sir.

You'’re not playing that stupid game again, are you?

Do you know what obsessive- compulsive means, Willy?

Huh?

Mmm.

Yummy.

liver, onions, sweet potato.

Is there something wrong, Willy?

You didn'’t even say anything about my hairdo.

If you don'’t start paying better attention,

I'’m going to have to erase that game from your computer.

Sorry, Nurse Helen.

[GASPS]

I think it makes you look ten years younger.

What the hell?

[EXHALES]

Look what you made me do.

Look at me.

Alright.

That'’s it.

No more games.

Nurse Gamble, please report to the Nurse'’s Station.

Nurse Gamble, please report to the Nurse'’s Station.

[SCOFFS]

I'’ll deal with you later.

And I'’ll deal with you later.

Well, well,

things are finally starting to heat up, boys.

Can you reach them on any channels?

No. We'’re completely cut off.

Is there any chance you can phase out of this place?

Not as long as the disrupter field is active.

Ah.

On the bright side, I think I'’ve figured out this heat thing.

Ready?

[AC TURNS ON]

Ha![CHUCKLES]

Whoo!

Yeah!

Ha.

Ah, amen, brother.

[LAUGHS]

Alright, I take back anything bad I'’ve ever said about you.

Ah. I'’m gonna remember that.

[LAUGHS]

Nice installation.

Top-notch security systems.

I thought you deleted this game.

Yeah, I did, several times.

Well, he'’s not acting very deleted.

Well, since he'’s a hologram, uh,

his weapons can'’t hurt us, right?

Not as far as I know.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

[GRUNTING]

[SHOUTS] Jess, do something.

Aah!

Who are you?

Sergeant Nalle,

Tunnel Squad, Unit Leader.

[BRENNAN GRUNTING]

Think you could withstand an increase in the voltage?

[GRUNTS]

What do you want?

At the moment, I want to know how much juice it'’s going to take to kill you.

Even for someone like you,

a man'’s gotta have a breaking point.

[VOLTAGE INTENSIFIES]

[YELLS]

[SHOUTS] Aah!

Brennan!

JESSE: You alright?

BRENNAN: [WHISPERS] Oh, man.

Alright.

Warehouse is right below us.

Let'’s take her down.

Seems like a strange place for Adam to build a back door to Sanctuary.

Well, you know, with Adam,

nothing was ever the way it seemed, right?

Hey, Bren, we'’re good to go.

BRENNAN: Good deal. Make your way down,

and I'’ll have Jess talk you through an internal override.

Alright.

Whoever'’s doing this, knows who we are.

[MOANING] Oh, man, he knows everything about us.

Yeah.

Come on.

Aah. [EXHALES]

Hey, Willy, wakey, wakey.

My shifts over, so, I just dropped by,

to kiss you good night.

[CHUCKLES]

I thought that might get a rise out of you.

Hmm.

He loves me.

He loves me not.

You see, Willy,

I have complete control over your life.

If you were to die,

no one would ever miss you.

[HEART MONITOR SPEEDS UP]

No, no. Hold on!

Hold on! Don'’t you do that!

[HEART MONITOR STOPS]

Damn it!

[SHRIEKING] Aah!

[HEART MONITOR NORMALIZES]

[PANTING]

I don'’t get it.

What'’s this about?

Revenge,

power trip.

Insanity.

Maybe all of the above.

What do we do?

That'’s just it.

There'’s nothing we can do.

We'’re sitting ducks and he'’s calling all the shots.

No, there'’s gotta be a way we can turn this around. We can'’t just give up.

Brennan, if he'’s controlling the computers,

and he'’s got access to the security cameras,

all the sensors and detectors, we can'’t even blink without him seeing.

Alright. Then we need to shut down the entire system.

Uh...

Come on.

We do that,

we'’re not just going to lose the power in here,

but in all of Sanctuary.

The ventilators, all the computers.

Nobody will be able to get in or out of here.

Oh, man.

Alright. Come on, Jess.

There'’s got to be a way we can get him out of our computer.

How did he get in?

He'’s got to be bouncing a signal off of Sanctuary'’s satellite.

Cut off his up-link,

he'’ll lose his access.

Fine. Let'’s do it.

Our only problem is figuring out how to do it without him seeing.

You know I'’m watching.

[SCOFFS] That'’s very good.

Now what are you going to do about it?

Okay, Brennan, we'’re in.

What'’s next?

Brennan?

Jesse?

Something'’s wrong.

Yeah. I don'’t see any equipment anywhere.

That'’s not him.

We'’ve got company.

POLICE: Move it! Let'’s go! Let's go.

Okay, there they are. Ready?

Right there.

Okay, hit the floor. Nobody move! Cover the door!

Frank, get the door!

Looking for someone?

POLICE: Hey, over there! Go, go, go!

Let'’s get out of here.

Go, go! Move, move!

Time to get the hell out of Dodge.

Mind explaining what just happened back there?

Why the hell would Brennan set us up?

He didn'’t.

Got them.

You gotta take out all three cameras,

before he'’s got time to retaliate.

It'’s important. We only got one shot at this, Brennan.

Well, one shot'’s all I need.

Let'’s do it.

Oh, whoo!

[LAUGHS] Done-sky.

WILLY: Not bad.

But unfortunately, not good enough.

I still have the infrared sensors.

I may not be able to see those baby blues,

but this will do just fine.

Now what do we do?

Now, we got to get to the up-link access panel.

And that would be?

Top of the ventilator shaft.

Through the air duct.

Alright. I'’m ready.

Whoa. Wait. Wait, wait, wait!

It'’s not going to work.

Why not?

He can still see us.

What are you talking about? We just blinded him.

The body heat sensors.

Oh, come on, man. You'’re killing me here.

Hey, Adam designed this place, alright?

And he designed it to be impregnable.

Oh, great. Well,

too bad Adam wasn'’t here so he could see how his genius ass,

is biting us all in the ass right now.

What would happen if I was to raise the temperature in here,

to a toasty 98.6 degrees?

[SIGHS SOFTLY]

Well, we'’d be invisible.

Invisible.

Here'’s a playback of our conversation with Brennan.

Listen to this.

Shalimar, I'’m here. But I don'’t know for how much longer.

Hear the click?

Right before he starts to speak?

[BEEPS] Shalimar, I'’m here.

Yeah. Our call was intercepted.

Someone sampled Brennan'’s voice.

Sent us into that trap.

Yeah. On our com-link frequency.

Man, whoever'’s doing this has got to be pretty powerful.

Powerful enough to give us instant rap sheets.

Made us look like Public Enemy number one.

Well, maybe it'’s time we called "Brennan" back.

Thank him personally.

See who we'’re playing with?

Hey, Bren?

It'’s Shal.

How'’s the heat in there?

[WILLY AS BRENNAN] Totally under control. How are you guys holding up?

We tried to get into that warehouse but the cops were after us. How weird is that?

Very weird.

SHAL: So has Jesse finally

managed to beat you at your little game yet?

[WILLY AS BRENNAN] I say when the game is over.

I say when the game'’s over!

So are you guys any closer to finding out who'’s behind all this?

[WILLY AS BRENNAN] I wish.

SHAL: Must be somebody pretty brilliant, huh?

What do you think?

Still there?

[WILLY AS BRENNAN] I think you know more than you'’re saying.

I'’m just worried about you, Bren.

[IN WILLY'’S VOICE] Too late for that.

I know this guy.

William Dennett.

Doesn'’t ring a bell to me.

He'’s a cybernetic mutant.

He can connect with computers through his brain.

He'’s a human computer virus.

SHALIMAR: He was selling military secrets.

We tracked him down to an apartment building on the river,

and chased him up onto the roof.

Dennett!

You'’re not going anywhere. It'’s over.

I say when the game'’s over.

Uh.

[GROANS]

SHAL: Last we heard he was paralyzed for life.

LEXA: How could he be doing this?

Maybe he'’s got nine lives.

The point is this psycho'’s been playing us from the start,

separating the team on purpose.

Yeah. So he could target us one by one.

The problem is I can'’t find any record of a William Dennett anywhere.

Well, a guy this smart would'’ve wiped his slate clean.

Well, that'’s great.

Then how exactly are we supposed to find him and shut him down?

You know what?

No one vanishes without a trace.

We'’re just going to have to do this the old-fashioned way.

It'’s 98.6 and holding.

Sweet.

Well, at least it'’s a dry heat.

JESSE: Well, then we'’re good to go.

WILLY: You'’re catching on.

That was very clever.

But I still have a few moves left.

Alright, I'’m in.

Where am I headed?

You should see a grating at the end of the duct.

JESSE: It'’ll be less than ten feet in front of you.

All right. I'’m here. Now what?

Pry it off. Let me know what you see.

[GRUNTS]

[LAUGHS]

Oh, man.

You'’re not going to believe this.

Crystal blue sky.

No, you'’re right. I don'’t believe it.

That'’s got to be another hologram from the Tunnel Quest game.

No.

No, in the game, the soldier is waiting at the other end.

He puts up his hand. That'’s how you know you made it to the next level.

Yeah, but this guy doesn'’t play by the rules, Brennan.

I'’m gonna take a closer look.

Bren, just hold up.

Jess, you said it yourself.

This is the only way to the up-link.

No, no, I get a bad feeling here.

I think it'’s another one of his traps.

[PANTS]

Brennan?

Oh!

Brennan!

Brennan? Brennan, are you alright?

[COUGHING]

Brennan?

Yeah. [COUGHS]

But I'’m going to need a new watch.

He knew you were there.

He'’s still watching.

How the hell is it possible?

WILLY: Checkmate.

WILLY: Stupid me!

I should'’ve realized you could phase like that.

Wait,

I did think of that.

You'’re that cybernetic.

How did you survive that fall?

Oh, enough about me.

This,

is about you.

[EXHALES]

Let'’s see how long you can stay phased.

[GRUNTS] Aah!

Too bad.

You'’ve already lost the game.

You should'’ve left me alone.

[BRENNAN GRUNTS]

Why don'’t you pick on someone your own size?

Haven'’t we been through this before?

[CHUCKLES] Yeah,

and it ends the same way.

[CAMERA FEED SHUTS]

[WHISPERS] No!

This time it ends my way.

He winged you, huh?

I can feel it.

Aw, it'’s just scratch.

Well, I don'’t know about you, but I'’m pretty tired of playing this game.

[KNOCKS]

Hi.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I... I hope you can help me. Um...

Is this where they keep the hard copies for the patients'’ records?

Yeah.

You see, um,

Barry.

It'’s my uncle, um.

He used to be here, but I'’m afraid

he'’s been transferred to another hospital.

I'’m afraid he's been moved somewhere, so...

[PANICS] Um, these files are...

sealed.

You have to have the proper authorization and all those...

I'’ll call a doctor and...

No, Barry, no.

I, I just... I don'’t know what happened.

I got this sharp pain.

You don'’t think it's my appendix, do you?

Uh, I'’m not a doctor.

[PANTING]

Well, uh... Um,

could you do me a favor and tell if you think it feels swollen to you?

You know, you... you don'’t understand. I...

I, I don'’t know what I'’m doing here.

Ooh, Oh!

Little lower Bar.

Whoa! Not that low. [LAUGHS]

[PANTING]

Well, uh,

you know, you'’re not going to believe this.

I suddenly feel a whole lot better.

Shal. Ready to go?

Yeah.

Well, you really have the magic touch, Barry.

Yeah.

So, do you recognize him?

William Dennett.

But I can'’t imagine after the fall that he took that he'’d still look that good.

Dude, he'’s a hologram.

Could have made himself look like Brad Pitt if he'’d wanted.

Yeah. [SNIFFS]

How are we get him out of our system?

Well, if you can'’t get to the up-link,

we'’ve got no more options.

Oh, no, no. Come on,

we can'’t let him win.

We got to figure out a way to stop him.

Well, if you think of anything, let me know, all right?

This guy'’s unbelievable.

He got himself transferred to a private facility.

Private hospitals cost a lot of money.

Where'’d Bennett come up with that kind of cash?

Someone with his power could tap into banks like we check e-mail.

Now, according to this, he'’s a resident of Wood Bridge Gardens.

Nothing but the best for him.

He must have hijacked Sanctuary'’s computer up-link

when Jesse downloaded the game.

So, if he'’s still controlling Sanctuary, that means he'’s still connected.

We don'’t have a lot of time.

Let'’s hope he'’s still there.

[ELECTRICITY CRACKLING]

[GRUNTS]

[BREATHES HEAVILY]

[GROANS]

Forget it!

It'’s not gonna work.

[GRUNTS]

Oh, man.

All right, so what do we do, huh?

What? We just give up?

Well, enough people tell you you'’re a drunk,

you'’ll lay down.

Ah.

WILLY: You guys disappoint me.

I really expected you to put up much more of a fight.

I'’m not giving up.

Too late. You failed.

Game over, boys.

Sweet dreams. [GAS HISSING]

Brennan?

[COUGHING]

[COUGHS]

How is killing us going to change anything?

Because of you,

I don'’t look like this anymore.

I'’m withered, paralyzed!

It wasn'’t our fault.

We were only trying to stop you, Dennett.

I can understand your anger.

You can'’t begin to understand!

Okay, so tell us about it.

Look, you'’re smart William.

You broke into an impenetrable system and managed to manipulate it.

I found the traps that were already there.

The possibilities for a man like you are limitless.

You could find a cure for your paralysis!

[ADAMANTLY] There is no cure!

[COUGHING]

BRENNAN: We could help you.

But if you kill us, then you destroy any chance of that.

[SHOUTING] My life is over.

The only thing I have left,

is the satisfaction of seeing you pay for what you'’ve done.

And make no mistake,

I won'’t forget about your lady friends.

You leave them alone.

I just hope they'’re better players than you.

You know what Sanctuary'’s pumping into your system right now?

BZ.

Powerful nerve agent.

It'’ll infiltrate your bloodstream,

create paralysis.

It eventually will close down your heart.

Can you feel that numbness in your fingers yet?

You said you wanted to understand how I felt.

Soon, you will.

Dennett,

don'’t do this.

[COUGHING]

Brennan...

[BRENNAN COUGHING]

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

Hospital'’s up ahead.

Roof-top'’s too narrow.

We need to find another place to land.

No, there'’s nowhere close to bring her down. We can do this.

It'’s too narrow.

We'’ll be fine.

[SIGHS EXASPERATEDLY]

[GRUNTS]

It'’s going to leave a mark.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[JESSE COUGHING]

[COUGHS]

Come on, Jesse, we gotta go up, man. Come on.

Come on, buddy, you'’re going to make it.

[GRUNTS]

Oh!

Stay with me, buddy.

We'’re going to make it.

[COUGHING]

[GRUNTS]

[COUGHS]

[PANTING]

Thin crust pizza...

What?

My dad used to take us to this great place.

Giorgio'’s.

[GASPING COUGH]

I want to be there now.

Yeah, me too.

Nah, you wouldn'’t like it.

[COUGHING]

Keep talking, man.

[JESSE PANTING]

There'’s something I want to tell you, Brennan.

[PANTING]

Yeah, I love you, too, man.

No.

You suck at basketball.

That'’s the big thing?

That'’s the big thing, that you wanted to tell me?

[COUGHING]

And what you said.

[WHEEZING]

[WHEEZING COUGHS]

Jesse. Jess?

Jesse!

[GASPING]

Jesse!

[JESSE WHEEZING AND GASPING]

Hey, William.

You'’ve been a bad boy.

BRENNAN: Jesse, Jesse?

Jess. Come on! The screen.

My God, he'’s suffocating them.

I'’m going to rip these out of your head

and you won'’t be connected to anything anymore.

No, don'’t do that.

They'’re going to die if we don'’t do something.

No, he'’s directly linked to Sanctuary.

Let me try and override it manually.

I think I can access the ventilation shafts.

[JESSE COUGHING AND GASPING]

What did you do to them?

WILLY: They'’re just like me, now.

If they die, you die.

I'’m in.

Don'’t you die on me, Jesse!

[SUFFOCATING]

[COUGHS]

Okay, I'’m flooding the chamber with Oxygen.

God, I hope we'’re not too late.

Jesse, come on. [COUGHS]

Jesse, come on!

Stay with me, man.

Jesse, stay with me!

Come on. Come on.

[PANTING]

[GRUNTING]

Oh!

Don'’t you even think of giving me mouth to mouth.

[PANTS]

Brennan, is he okay?

Yeah, [PANTING]

he'’s okay.

What about him?

If you unhook me,

I'’m trapped in my mind.

It'’s unbearable.

Kill me.

I don'’t think you deserve that.

Please!

It'’s like being in a coffin.

[HEART RATE QUICKENS]

Any last words?

Guess not.

Come on. We'’re done here.

Wait,

Just one more little thing.

[GRUNTS]

Just making sure you'’ll never be hooked up again.

Computers.

Hate them.

Hey, there, handsome.

Hey.

Got you a present.

Mmm.

I like that present.

What'’s this?

Oh, um, consider it a...

almost going away present.

[WRAPPER RUSTLING]

Tunnel Quest III.

Well, we thought you might want to load it into the system computer

and put our holograms through a few paces.

You insane?

It was worth the look, though. [LAUGHS]

Brennan was right.

Brennan was right? This is your idea?

I didn'’t tell them to buy it.

Mind taking care of this, Sparky?

Pull.Yeah.

[CHUCKLES]Pull?
