[HEAVY METAL MUSIC PLAYING]

I don'’t know man, I think you'’re losing it.

That girl barely knew you were there.

What are you even talking about, right now?

She had her eyes all over me.

Ah, so explain that warm reception

you got when you asked for her number, uh?

In some countries,

it'’s an engagement when you get slapped.

Ah! Where'’s Shalimar

and Lexa?I don'’t know.

Getting rid of some dudes?

Wrong place, wrong time.

Looks like you boys made a real big mistake.

Oh, yeah? How do you figure?

Because you'’re about to get your asses kicked.

We'’re getting our asses kicked. What do you think?

Could be fun.

You'’ll die laughing.

[GRUNTS]

[GRUNTING]

[GRUNTS][GROANS]

Leave them alone for two minutes.

[CHAIN CLANKING]

What...

[GRAVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Guys, gun behind you.

[GROANS]

Jesse. [ECHOES]

[GROANS]

[PULSATING]

[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.

Together, four of the most powerful fight

to protect a world that doesn'’t even know they exist.

They are... Mutant X.

Brennan, this is Doctor Robinson.

Hurry up, he'’s in the lab.How is he?

He'’s not doing good, he'’s barely conscience.

They said he was shot. Was he massed out?Yes.

Have the Dominion send over his medical files. This way?

You'’re gonna be okay, Jess.

[GROANS IN PAIN]

[COUGHING]

What'’s going on, Doc?I'’m not sure.

How is this even possible?

I mean, he was massed out. How can he be shot?

Hold him down.

Come on, Shal.I wanna stay.

The best thing we can do right now

is to find out who did this. Okay, come on.

Be strong, Jess.

BRENNAN: Easy Jess, easy.

[PANTING]

The telepath?

Yes.

Sometimes, in cases of severe trauma

healing of the mind is as important as the healing of the body.

[TYPING]

Right there.

What'’s inside of him is not just a bullet

it'’s packed with electronic components.

[MURMURS]Hey.

Hey, buddy, how you doing?

What happened?

You took a bullet for me.

But I was massed.

I know, it'’s was a... special kind of bullet.

It hurts, Brennan.

[SOFTLY] Yeah, I know, buddy.

Look, you just hang in there, okay?

You'’re in good hands.

What the hell is in him?

I'’m not sure.

But whatever it is, I have to get it out.

And I can'’t use anesthetic, he'’s too weak.

It'’ll kill him.

Everything is gonna be all right, Jesse.

[PHONE RINGING]

Hello?MAN: How'’s Jesse?

Who is this? The bullet in his body

contains enough explosive

to take out half of Sanctuary.

I have the detonator.

Anything happens to Jesse...

That'’s entirely up to you.

I have the power to save him.

In exchange for what?

I'’ll let you know. Oh...

a tip, as a sigh of goodwill.

Tell your doctor, it'’s pointless to operate.

Any attempt to remove the bullet,

will kill him.

Come on.

[GROANS] Come on.

No, don'’t.

Don'’t what?

We just talked to the guy who shot Jesse.

Trying to remove the bullet will kill him.

[MUTED GROAN]

BRENNAN: What is that?What?

Tell me what'’s going on.

You'’re trying to mass around the bullet.

The incision has triggered a defense mechanism.

It'’s using a proton coupler to connect directly to your nervous system.

It'’s using your own powers against you, Jesse.

SHALIMAR: Jess.

You have to try to stop it, okay?

I can'’t, I don't know how to control it.

Doc, what does this mean?

I'’m not sure.

But unless I find a way to stop it,

the massing will continue and then it will reach his vital organs.

If they'’re massed for too long,

the vital organs will cease to function

and Jesse will die.

There'’s more.

The bullet'’s explosive.

The creep who shot him has the detonator.

What the hell is going on?

I don'’t know. But he will call again.

Okay, I got the trace set up.

You'’re gonna have to keep him on the phone for at least 40 seconds.

No problem.

[PHONE RINGING]

Yeah.

How'’s the patient doing? What do you want?

A mutant. Her name is Laura Brooks.

She'’s being held in a pod.

All pods were destroyed.

No, not hers.

She was taken by the military after the collapse of Genomex.

Well, where is she?

Well, if I knew that, I wouldn'’t need you now, would I?

I'’m aware of the access and connections Mutant X has.

Use them to find her and bring her to me.

You have four hours.

Wait, hold on. I'’m thinking

realistic here, you know.

Four hours isn'’t possible.

You better hope it is.

If you want your friend to live.

Four hours until I detonate the bullet.

If you'’ve activated its powers

maybe even less.

Look, listen to me...[BEEPS]

They'’ll never find her.

The Dominion will have buried her too deep.

They'’ll have to if they want their friend to live.

It'’s a lot of trouble for one woman.

She'’s worth it.

[DIGITAL BEEPS]

Okay. Think I found him.

Looks like the call came from there.

[BEEPING]What?

No, going into lockdown.

He'’s found a way through multiple cells.

We'’re never gonna get to him in time.[SIGHS]

Looks like we'’re gonna have to get him what he wants.

Jesse, relax.

The more agitated you are, the quicker the massing will spread.

I can'’t control it.

[GROANS AND SCREAMS]

Jesse.

We'’re losing him.

I'’m sure there's something we can do.

I can connect your mind directly to his.

You'’re a familiar presence.

Go in and stabilize him.

Make him forget about the bullet.

I'’ll do whatever I can.

All right, sit down.

Are you ready?

[PANTS] Ready.

[RUMBLING]

What the hell is this, Jess?

It'’s the end.

It'’s over.

No, this isn'’t real, Jess. You'’re panicking, it'’s your imagination.

I'’m dying, man.

[GASPING]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

This isn'’t real, Jess.

I don'’t know what's the point.

Yeah, this is as real as it gets.

Come on, man, you can'’t give up now.

[SCREAMS]

[PANTING]

[GROANING]

You wanna live, man.

Come on, you'’ve got to think of the good times.

[STIFLED GROANS]

[PANTING]

Hey.

Thought we agreed, no powers?

No, you agreed, I scored.

I forgot.

What?

You'’ll do anything to win.

[THUNDER CONTINUES TO RUMBLE]

DOCTOR: [ECHOES] Brennan.

Brennan?

[MONITOR BEEPING]

Did it work?Yes.

The massing has stopped increasing.

And if it is more stable,

we have to try and disable the bullet'’s defense mechanisms

and remove it safely.

Okay. What [STAMMERS] are our chances?

Not good.[SIGHS] Doctor, you don'’t understand.

He'’s in this crazy place. He believes that he'’s dying.

Yes, but you have to stay strong for him.

If he senses your fear, it will make his worse.

Okay, then give me something to believe in then... please?

All right, I'’ll do the best I can.Okay.

Jesse.

How'’s it coming?Not good.

The guy wants us to find a podded mutant, Laura Brooks

and we'’ve got about three hours to find her.

I'’ve run her through every database I can think of.

When Genomex was destroyed, a lot of the records disappeared.

He said the military had her but we'’ve tried that.

We'’ve cracked every military and government base. There'’s nothing.

Our best bet is to give this guy whatever he wants

as soon as possible.

Don'’t worry, we'’re gonna do it.

The doc and I set up a force field container

in case we get the bullet out of him.

That'’s good.

I'’m gonna stay with Jess, okay, just...

let me know if anything changes.

We don'’t have time for this.I know.

Where are you going?

To talk to the Dominion.

Adam said we can'’t trust them.

Yeah, but they don'’t know that.

They still trust us.

The bullet has an internal power supply

that allows us to control Jesse'’s nervous system.

Now, if we can stop that,

it could be rendered harmless.

How can we do that, doc?

I can'’t, but maybe you can.

What I'’d like you to do is deliver a controlled electrical charge

enough to damage the electronics

in the bullet.

That could kill him.

No, it won'’t, if you don't disrupt his heart rhythms.

Oh, yeah, that'’s a great idea.

How am I supposed to know if I'’m doing that?

I'’ll tell you.

[SOFTLY] Okay.

Jesse you stay with me.

[SIGHING IN DESPAIR] Ready.

Good, it'’s working.

It'’s too much.

No, no, give it more.

All right, stop!

[GASPING]What'’s happening?

The massing has started again.

The bullet'’s defending itself.

It'’s getting worse.It'’s heading for his lungs.

Put me back in.

JESSE: [SCREAMING]Hey, hey.

Whoa.

Jesse, hold on, man.

I screwed up, man.

Sorry, it'’s my fault.It'’s all right.

You'’re just trying to help.

I got you, man.

All right, come on.

Don'’t give up on me, Jess.

I got you now, we'’re gonna beat this.

[GRUNTING]That'’s good, come on.

Just remember, we'’re a team.

We always kick ass together.

Right from the beginning. We'’ve never lost.

Now, when is Eckhart gonna learn?

No matter how many guys he sends after us,

you'’re always outnumbered.

[GROANS IN PAIN]

[GROANS IN PAIN]

BOTH: Oh!

Huh?

All right. Well, thank you, very much.

DOCTOR: That'’s good, Brennan. The massing is slowing.

Jess, good.

You'’re getting better, man. Keep climbing.

[GRUNTING]

Just remember, we'’ve been through worse and survived.

Think about it.

[GASPING]

Jesse.Jesse, unphase.

I can'’t.

ADAM: Jesse, concentrate. The longer you

stay unstable, the more dangerous it is.

Jesse, focus.Come on, Jess.

You have a couple seconds

after that, you'’re not gonna be able to reform.

Take it easy, now.

[GASPING]

[THUNDER RUMBLES]

Good work. Proud of you, man.

Now, there'’s a ledge above you. Reach up with your right hand.

I don'’t know, man.

Just reach that handhold, it'’s right above you.

[GROANING]

You can do it, come on.

[GRUNTING]

Just rest a bit.

What you'’re asking is impossible.

I'’m asking you to find one woman.

You want us to locate a dangerous mutant

so you can deliver her to an unknown operative

for an unknown reason.

Well, I don'’t give a damn.

Jesse'’s dying.

You seem to have lost your usual good judgment.

Perhaps you'’ve become overly involved with Mutant X.

What did you expect?

I live with him, I work with him,

he saved my life. Of course I'’m involved.

I'’m not gonna let him die.

You surprise me, Miss Pierce.

I'’ll see what I can do.

You surprise me too.

So, do you really care about him or was that all for effect?

What difference does it make?

[GRUNTS]

[GASPS]

[STRAINING]

You have one hell of an imagination.

Yeah.

You know, I never thought it would be like this.

What?

Dying.

I thought it would be meaningful.

Not an ambush by some guy I don'’t even know.

You'’re not dying.

[SCREAMS]Hey,

Jess!

DOCTOR: Brennan, you have to come out of there.

Why'’d you pull me out?

We'’ve had a setback.

The massing is getting worse, it'’s too dangerous.

What do you mean?

The mind and body are totally inseparable.

When I connect you,

your entire being is linked to Jesse'’s.

If Jesse dies while you'’re connected,

you'’ll die too.

Then don'’t let that happen. Put me back in.

[SIREN WAILING]

The woman you'’re looking for is in a government warehouse, Unit 2509.

All the information you'’ll need is in here.

You should have no problem getting in.

Lexa.

You'’ll be held responsible

for any adverse consequences of this action.

I already knew that.

Personal involvement is a bad idea in our line of work.

Yeah, well, sometimes it'’s unavoidable.

I'’d be sorry to lose you.

You'’re one of my best operatives.

That sounds like a little personal involvement.

Not at all.

Thanks for your help, tonight.

BOTH: [STRAINED GRUNTING]

Just let me go.

There'’s no point.

I never thought you were such a coward.

I'’m not a coward.

I just can'’t hold on anymore.

You'’re giving up, Jess.

It'’s not you.You'’re wasting your time.

[SCREAMING]

Hang on, Jess.

You'’ve just gotta remember the good times.

We'’re in this together, just like we'’ve always been.

So, soldier, you think you have

what it takes to become a member of our tunnel quest team?

SHALIMAR: Hey!

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

BOTH: [GRUNTING]

[THUD]

That was close.

Yeah, tell me about it.

Good job, girl.

Ah, 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...

[CHUCKLES] Innocent fun.

JESSE: Lex,

you don'’t understand. I'’ve totally

improved Sanctuary'’s holo system by modifying

the game to match our, specs.

Nice going, nerd wonder.

Now delete it.

What?Do it.

Or I'’ll smash your computer in half.

Shal, you are totally overreacting.

Guess it was fun while it lasted.Dude,

this is totally your fault.

Jess, you gotta help yourself up, man.

Come on, pull yourself up.

I can'’t.

Be strong, Jesse, come on.

LEXA: The pod we'’re looking for is here somewhere.

[STEALTHY INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

You stopped the spread of massing.

But it'’s not good enough.

Blood oxygen is low,

his lungs are affected.

You need to work harder, man.

You need to shrink the massing.

I can'’t.

You'’ve always been stronger than you think.

Yeah.

Everybody ready?

Go.

I'’m picking up some activity by two miles from here.

Two planes that are headed this way.

Missiles, look out.

I'’m gonna try something. Hold on to your seats, guys.

Get ready to dive.

Go.[GRUNTS]

[ALARM BEEPING]

[GRUNTING]

They'’re coming back at us.

Do they have missile lock? I'’m not gonna be able to do that again.

Jesse, you have to phase

the Helix.I can'’t do that.

But we don'’t have any other choice. Just do it.

You can try.

You have to, you don'’t have a choice.

They'’re getting closer.

Jesse.Do it!

Come on, brother.

[PANTING]Come on.

[GRUNTING]

[SCREAMING]

[GROANS]

Yeah.

Is that what it feels like when we phase?

I don'’t think I can do that again.

Yeah, well we may not have to.

Oh. Direct hit.

BRENNAN: Let'’s go home.

See, you didn'’t think you could do it then either.

DOCTOR: It'’s working.

The massing is shrinking.

Keep it up, you'’re doing it.

Shalimar and Lexa are gonna deliver this guy what he wants.

It'’s almost over.

Good.

[BUZZING]

[DOOR CREAKING]

That'’s weird.

Someone inside?

No, that'’s just it.

No one'’s been here for a long time.

Creepy place.

Yeah.

Don'’t suppose the Dominion laid a trap for us?

I don'’t know.

LEXA: It'’s here.

I don'’t like this.

This is way too easy.

Look, let'’s just get her and get out of here, all right?

SHALIMAR: She'’s dead.

[SOMBER INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

No.

[SIGHING] Oh, god.

[PHONE RINGING]Great.

Yes?

Tick tock. Did you locate her?

Well, we have the pod, but,

we don'’t know how to revive her.

Of course you do.

I hope you'’re not stalling for time

in the vain hope your doctor will be of some use.

I assure you, I know more

about Jesse'’s anatomy than any doctor.

I am the only one who can save him.

Who would know that much about Jesse?

I don'’t know, but Jesse might. Brennan?

Did you get the woman?

Yeah, she died in the pod.

Damn.

The guy who shot Jesse claims to know him.

It'’s gotta be somebody Jess knows.

Yeah, I'’ll try and find out.

The woman we'’re to deliver is dead

and the bomb'’s gonna explode in 15 minutes.

Then, we have no choice.

I have to operate.

Okay.We know we can control

the massing, even shrink it.

I want you to make sure he believes that.

I need to talk to him before you make the operation happen.

Make it quick.

Okay.

It'’s someone who's examined me.

Knows my mutant anatomy.

Yeah.

How does the bullet work?

Doctor says it'’s using a proton coupler.

Proton coupler?

Yeah, why?

When I was in Genomex...

Scan his system.

I want to try some neurological experiments.

MAN: That could be dangerous, he might not survive.

Yes. Start with the proton coupler.

That should allow me to establish control of his nervous system.

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

It'’s Eckhart's right hand man, Dr. Harrison.

Go get him for me.

Guys, it'’s Harrison.

From Genomex. You gotta find him.

Are you sure you want to do this?

I can'’t guarantee anything.

Do whatever you have to do. I'’m not letting him die in there alone.

Jess, you'’ve already done this before.

All you gotta do is fight.

Work with me.

[ALARM BLARING]

Okay, well that bullet fried

the navigation system, must'’ve sheared a hydraulic line.

Pull up.I'’m trying.

The controls are frozen.

We gotta land, now.

Land? Jess, I can'’t even keep her level.

[SIREN BLARING CONTINUES]

Still frozen.

We'’re less than 2,000 feet.

Any ideas?

Uh, yes.

We could try juicing one of the hydraulic lines

in an electrical arc. It might heat up

the fluid to give us the pressure. I don'’t know, Brennan.

Okay, yeah. Take the controls.All right.

It'’s working, Brennan.

We'’ve leveled off. 1,500 feet.

Nice.

Guys, there'’s a schoolyard below us.

Okay, I'’m taking her down.

That wasn'’t so bad, huh?

[SCREAMING]

Jess, you'’ve gotta fight it.

Whatever Henry tries to make you believe,

it'’s not real.

It'’s a dreamscape.

All right?

It'’s happening in your mind.

It'’s not real, unless I believe it.

That'’s right. It'’s only in your mind.Okay.

It'’s only in your mind.

[SCREAMING] I know, this is not real. [STAMMERS]

This is not real.

Nice try, Mr. Kilmartin.

I'’m sorry,

but what is happening to you now,

is very real.

[SIGHING IN DESPAIR]

No, no, no, hey, no.

[GASPING] No, no, no.

No, no, no.

No.

Are you asking,

to negotiate your freedom for,

certain information, Mr. Kilmartin?

[STAMMERS] What sort of information?

Location of Sanctuary, the database of the New Mutant underground.

[MOUTHING] God.

I didn'’t think so.

Your Feral friend wasn'’t much help either.

Not that it matters anymore.

Where is she?

[SCREAMING] Where is she, tell me where she is. Tell me!

Tell me. Oh.

[CONTINUES SCREAMING]

No, don'’t.

[CRYING HYSTERICALLY]

It'’s no use Brennan, I can'’t do it.

I know you can do this. It'’s been a lot tougher before.

[GROANS]

[WHEEZING]

[EXHALES]

Adam, where does it say that you get to make the decisions for everybody?

What?

Jesse, are you okay?

Was I talking to you?

What... Hey, don'’t use that tone on me, Adam.

I'’ve had it.

I'’ve had it with your attitude too, Jesse.

[SHOUTING]Hey, hey, wait...

[GRUNTS]

Wait![GRUNTS]

Hey. Stop it, you two.

Shalimar.

Hey, you all right?[PANTING] Yeah, I'’m fine.

[GROANS]

Almost, got it.

[MONITOR BEEPING]

[MONITOR FLATLINES]

[GRAVE INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]

Come on, Jesse. Come on You can do it.

Jesse, come on.

Come on, Jesse.

Come on, come on, Jesse.

Come on, come on.

[FLATLINE CONTINUES]

I can'’t hold on, any longer.Jesse.

Fight it.

[SCREAMS]

Help, help.

[STRAINED GROANING]

Let me go.

No, not a chance.

If you die, I die.

[MOANS]

[MONITOR BEEPING]

BRENNAN: Come on.

I don'’t want you to die.

Not a chance. You'’re stuck with me.

You'’ve got to concentrate on surviving.

You'’ve got to remember why you wanna live.

All right, I take back anything bad

I'’ve ever said about you.

Ah, I'’m going to remember that.

Nice installation.

Top notch security systems.

Wait, since he'’s a hologram uh, his weapons can'’t hurt us, right?

Not as far as I know.

[ELECTRICAL BUZZING]

Jess, do something.

[GRUNTING]

Who are you?Sergeant Knoll, Tunnel Squad Unit Leader.

Think you can withstand an increase in the voltage?

[GROANS]

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

Game over, boys. Sweet dreams.

Brennan?

[COUGHING]

[COUGHING]

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

Come on, buddy, you'’re gonna make it.

[COUGHING]

Stay with me, buddy. We'’re gonna make it.

There'’s something I wanna tell you, Brennan.

Yeah, I love you too man.

No.

You suck at basketball.

That'’s the big thing?

[PANTING] That'’s the,

the big thing that you wanted to tell me?

And what you said.

Jesse, come on.

Come on.

Yeah. Good. Come on.

I know you can do it, man.

Any luck, yet?

Harrison'’s been operating out of a dozen fronts over the last six months.

Good. I'’ve still got the trace from his

cell phone call. One of those hits has gotta be real.

Oh, so we superimpose locations

of Harrison'’s phone companies?

Perfect.

Got him. Rane Industries, 14th Street.

It'’s only a little further.

It'’s not easy, bro.

You can'’t give up.

Think about all the people that you love.

All the people that you'’ve helped.

You can'’t leave them.

LEXA: I'’m not coming with you.What?

What?

We'’re different, Jess.

You know, when I was a kid,

the only thing I ever thought about was taking care of my brother.

Everything I did for Eckhart,

Adam, the Dominion,

it was all about saving Leo

and I screwed it up.

Look, when I first came here I was messed up too.

The last thing I thought I wanted was

join a bunch of freaks in a cave.

Except once I was in,

I found something I could never find on the outside.

For the first time in my life, I fit in.

You'’re a part of that now.

[GRUNTING]

[PHONE RINGING]

Time is almost up. Have you got her?

Yeah. Put her on.

Well, it'’ll be a minute.

Don'’t play me.

I will detonate the bullet.

Brennan, I can'’t reach the bullet.

It'’s using Jesse's ability to phase itself.

I can'’t touch it.

You can pull out the bullet if it'’s solid, right?

Yes, but I already told you...Jesse.

You'’ve got to concentrate. You'’ve got to

mass out the bullet so the doc can get a grip on it.

Can you do that?

I can'’t.

It'’s our only chance to keep us both alive.

Come on, man.

I know you got it in you.

You know you got it in you.

Fight it, Jess.

Mass out the bullet.

[GROANING]Good.

Come on, only a little further.

Come on, I know you can do it, man.

[GRUNTS]

[INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

No more stalling.

You heard the man.

You don'’t have her.

You never had her.

Bye, bye, Jesse.Brennan it'’s gonna blow.

It'’s all right. I got the bullet in the container in time.

Jesse'’s alive.

Lucky you.

Where is she?

Where is Laura?

She died.

No, no.

Through all the treachery and double dealing

at the GSA, she was the only one who remained loyal.

Loyal to me, she can'’t be dead.

Oh, [SARCASTICALLY] you cared about her?

Cared? I loved her.

That'’s too bad.

[METAL CLANGING]

Love hurts.

Guys.

Thank you.

I wouldn'’t be here without you.

Nah, it was not big deal.

Yeah.

You'’re the reason I wanted to live.

That is a big deal.

Mm?

So, did you have any other near-death revelations?

BOTH: [CHUCKLING]Well,

I did.

See, uh, if you put us through that again,

I'’ll kill you myself.

Brennan.

What'’s up?

You risked your life for me.

You took a bullet for me.

Yeah, but I didn'’t know it would hurt.

Oh, man, you'’re a big wuss. I'’m sure you would have done it anyway.

Anytime.

Yeah, I know.
