Original subtitles

You always take me to the nicest places.

Wasn't my choice.

How well do you know this Conlan anyway?

I guess as well as you can know anyone you work with.

Now, by work, are you talking about your past endeavors

as a low life and a hoodlum?

Hey, that's not very nice.

Uh, yeah, justified, but still not nice.

Hey, I am just going by what you've told me.

Yeah, you know, Maddie and I collaborated

in a few projects together here and there.

And you never noticed any signs of new mutancy?

No, no. It was like, uh, party tricks,

slight of hand stuff, you know.

If there was any, kind of, power involved, it wasn't anything major.

Well, then, I wonder what raised the GSA's sudden interest.

Hey, Maddie! Hello?

Come here. What's up?

You're looking better than ever.

Yeah. You're not looking so bad yourself.

I was afraid you wouldn't show up.

Come on, I wouldn't have missed it.

Maddie, Emma. Emma, Maddie.

Hey.

Brennan, you.. So, how you been?

Me? Good. Yeah. Good.

But, you...

Well, My Friend...

I'm afraid you ain't doing so hot.

Emma, get behind me.

Maddie, what's going on?

Sorry, Brennan, I had to.

Brennan!

Emma. Emma.

Damn! My head is killing me.

No Brennan. His girlfriend will have to do.

Grab her and let's go.

I feel so hot.

Yeah. Hey... Don't try to get up.

You feel okay?

I think so.

Well, I'm not surprised if you don't.

Pulmonary tests show that

your molecular structure has been been somehow altered by the attack.

How?

I don't know. We'll find out.

We'll know more after I can analyze the results of the EDD scan.

Okay.

What's wrong? This thing is safe, right?

Of course. DIGITAL BEEPING]

Look, you got conned, it's no big deal. And Emma's fine.

Yeah, no thanks to me. I walked right into it.

What you gonna do? Keep beating yourself over it?

Yeah, I'll tell you who I'd like to beat up.

You'd hit a woman? No. No.

But if there's a woman who could drive me to do it, it'd be her.

Hey, you let your guard down, that's all.

See, it just doesn't make sense.

The Maddie Conlan I knew was totally stand up.

Stand up liar, cheater, thief.

You know, where did this energy thing come from?

You never saw her use her powers before?

She didn't have those powers before.

Hard to believe that they could have evolved,

in such a short period of time.

Yeah, trust me, we've been in some pretty tight situations together.

I'll bet.

Yeah, not that kind of tight.

Now, if she'd had those abilities,

she would have had plenty of opportunities to use them.

You're certain of that?

You know, I don't even know what I'm certain of anymore.

The force of your power's magnitude should have killed her.

Would you rather she was dead?

Having her as prisoner gives us more options.

What stopped you from delivering Mulwray?

I promised you a member from Mutant X and that's what you got.

My concern over the toll it took on you remains, Ms. Conlan.

It's just a headache. It'll go away.

Talk to Dr. Harrison about these side effects

when he sees you for your fine tuning.

No, no more operations.

If it wasn't for these operations,

you'd still be a small time hustler.

Your job here remains open, Ms. Conlan.

When I agreed to this, I didn't realize everything that was involved.

You're still interested, aren’t you?

And if I say no?

I certainly would never force anyone to batter themselves.

Are you still interested, Ms. Conlan?

Yeah, I'm still interested.

Then you have to maintain your health.

I'm fine.

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.

Yo, Man! Yeah.

Hey, Baby.

Mm.

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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...

And in here.

What?

Post traumatic stress disorder.

I have to say, Ms. DeLauro, this is quite unexpected...

And quite unbelievable.

Why do you want to leave Mutant X?

I'm sick of their mealy mouthed, non lethal style.

I'm ready for some real action.

I thought I'd do well here.

Not if you think you can manipulate me.

What is it you want here?

Job satisfaction.

Adam doesn't recognize my true potential.

I tried to get you to join us once before.

No, you tried to make me your prisoner.

This is the first time you've listened to what I have to say.

You've never wanted to talk to me before.

Perhaps that hit from Ms. Conlan affected your brain.

What if it did?

Maybe that's what it took to bring out the real me.

The real you would betray your mutant friends?

They're a misfit gang of do gooders

that I'm forced to live with.

This is all very entertaining.

But, why should I trust you?

You shouldn't. I'll have to prove myself to you.

Dr. Harrison's here.

Send him in.

Conlan missed her appointment.

We can't find her anywhere.

Perhaps it's time to cut our loses

and move on to new test subjects.

But, I still need to get a final read on her condition.

Otherwise, all the data we've collected thus far

could be corrupted.

Let me find her.

When I was with her I picked up on where she might go.

And where is that?

It's a feeling. I'll know it when I get there.

She's lying.

It's an opportunity for me to show you what I can do.

You're not taking this seriously.

You'd be accompanied by GSA agents.

Fine.

Just as long as they stay out of my way.

I expect to hear from you every two hours.

I'll be back before you have time to check your watch.

Emma?

Are you still trying to shake off the attack?

I'm okay.

All right.

Is there anything else you can tell me about what happened?

I've told you everything I can remember.

Anything different happening to you, uh, telepathically?

What do you mean?

Any discomfort?

Any changes in the way you sense things?

Any unusual images that you might be picking up?

Other than feeling a little shook up, everything feels pretty normal.

Okay. You tell me if there's any pain, any dizziness...

Of course.

All right? I'll be in the lab. Okay.

You promise? I promise.

Okay.

Where's Conlan, huh?

What? She wasn't at Ross'?

You think you can send me on a fool's run and get away with it?

Conlan would have killed me, Man!

I'm not gonna kill you, but I'll damn sure make you hurt.

Where's she at?

Huh? She's in the back.

She better be in the back.

You know, I never would have figured you for a rat, Maddie.

What did Eckhart offer you to sell me out, huh?

My life.

I'd have chosen prison, but it wasn't an option.

Before Eckhart made me his test monkey,

the most I could do is make a quarter slide across the table.

So, the GSA experimented on you to amp up your power?

Emma, what are you doing here?

No! Brennan!

Brennan!

This is crazy.

The Emma with the GSA must be an impostor.

Well, I wouldn't put it past Eckhart.

Finding Mutant X look alikes to screw with our heads.

Mm... No, it was Emma. Both of them.

Yeah, except that one of them is working with the GSA.

And neither one of them was the Emma that we know.

Could she have been cloned or something?

I think it happened when you and Emma were attacked by Conlan.

By super charging

the electro magnetic charge of Conlan’s,

I think that you unwittingly created a power

that was capable of cutting through cellular material

to a genetic level.

I did?

So, Emma's walking around with only half of her chromosomes?

No. It's more like the double helix pattern

was cleaved into a mirrored base sequence

and then reformed to make two separate entities.

If we can’t figure out a way of re-integrating the two Emmas

back into one complete person...

It could be fatal...

To both of them.

It's not true.

Not a word.

Emma...

I am the real Emma.

That other person is just some fake.

I can hardly wait till Adam hears about this.

He already has.

In the midst of picking up Conlan, we ran into Brennan Mulwray.

So, Adam's heard all about your change of heart by now.

Would've been so much easier for you to just keep our appointment.

It would have been so much easier if you had killed me when we met.

I saved you from a wasted life

and turned your piddling mutant powers into something truly formidable.

All you gave me is pain.

Which will soon be over.

After Dr. Harrison has completed the final examination,

have Ms. Conlan prepared for stasis.

Yes, Sir.

Hey, Emma.

Emma.

Hello?

Who’s this?

I think we both know who this is.

I know who I am,

you are nothing but a freak accident.

Now, is that any way to talk to your better half?

If you think joining the GSA makes you better...

Now, when did you get so tough?

Last time I saw you, you looked like a little girl

who was ready to cry.

What do you want?

Tell Adam his methods don't cut it anymore.

So, I'm going to put an end to Eckhart and the GSA once and for all.

It's so simple, I'm disgusted Adam didn't think of it sooner.

What are you gonna do?

What they have been doing to us.

Turn Genomex into one giant stasis pod.

Only this time, their metabolisms will be lowered to the point

that no one will ever wake up.

But you'll kill all of the New Mutants that Eckhart's holding.

Just tell Adam that I want to meet him.

And I wanna know whose side he's on.

The good news is, she was only pretending to go over to the GSA.

Well, the bad new is, she's out of her freaking mind!

No, no. Don't say that.

Look, she's the rash side,

she's the unrestrained side of you

that you normally keep in check by your better instincts.

Yeah, but doesn't she care about all of the innocent people

who will be killed if she goes through with it?

No, I don't think so. I think she’s just focused on

destroying Eckhart and the GSA.

Well, she is nothing like me.

Well, evidently, one of the by products of this genetic split

is this division of personality characteristic

where she becomes more impulse driven

and you're, you know, more cautious.

Well, it is a dangerous world, Adam.

Cautious is the only way to be.

Well, we all have to take risks sometimes, right?

Taking out Genomex is more than a risk,

it would be a disaster.

Exactly. So, we have to talk her out of it.

I tried that, she won't listen.

But she'll meet with me, right?

You and you alone.

She wants Mutant X to join her in her plan.

All right. Bourbon neat.

Thanks.

That will be...

On the house.

You're a doll.

Yeah.

I didn't know you drank.

If you're looking for the teetotaller version, I believe she's with you.

Look, I want you to come back to the Sanctuary with me.

Why? So that I can see my weak side in whimpering action?

Because I think they found a way to get you back to yourself.

Your whole true self.

And I thought you came here to join me on my crusade.

No, I'm gonna stop your crusade.

Please.

What? You wanna kill innocent people?

Mason Eckhart and his cronies are anything but innocent.

There are dozens of New Mutants in stasis.

You want to kill them too? It's a small price to pay

for the hundreds who will be saved if we stop Eckhart now!

See, you're thinking with only one side of your brain.

You're not thinking clearly.

No, I have never been more lucid.

Don't you see what a golden opportunity this is for us?

I am inside Genomex.

Eckhart trusts me.

All right. Look, look, listen to me!

My tests show that in this form,

there are two separate identities.

You both could be dead in a couple of hours.

I feel fine. I've got lab tests to prove it.

You tested her, not me.

You're both the same, now I need you to come back,

so that I can re-integrate you with her.

I'll think about it... After I take care of Genomex.

No, I cannot let you do that.

Emma...

Emma!

Emma!

Emma!

So, how's this gonna work?

Each of these will intensify the wavelength from the scanner.

And then.. No, no, no.

How is this gonna work to get Emma back together again?

We have to move fast, Emma and Conlan are at Genomex.

You and Jesse take the Double Helix,

get over there, get Emma out before she can do any damage.

But you already tried that, it's not that easy.

Well, I expect you to succeed where I failed.

Hey, wait, Shal...

See if you can get Maddie out of there too, all right?

Okay. Thanks.

Thank you.

Oh...

What are you doing?

Saving you from the big sleep, what does it look like?

I need your help.

Why should I help you?

Well, it's not like you've got a lot of options.

Beside, I think you're gonna love what I have in mind.

Come on.

In a hurry, Ms. DeLauro?

I demand to know what you're doing here?

And don't use your telepathy on me.

Promise.

Hey. Hi. Where's Adam?

Well, he's finishing up.

Well, they still have to find her, don't they?

Yeah, if they wanna reunite you and put you back together.

I don't want her to be a part of me.

This is normal!

No... This is not normal.

No, I won't let Adam do this to me.

Hey, Jesse and Shalimar are out there right now

putting their lives on the line

to get the other you back from Genomex.

If they got to Genomex, there's going to be GSA Agents.

It could get violent.

Yeah, but if they don't, you're not going to be okay.

No, it's too dangerous, Brennan, you got to stop them.

Emma, listen,

it's gonna be all right. Just relax.

No, it's not! I wanna talk to Adam!

Please go get him for me?

Okay.

Adam, she insisted. Okay.

She programmed a lock down.

Emma, key in the security code and let us out of here.

No, if I do, you'll put us back together.

Well, if I don't, you'll die.

I can't be with her, Adam, she's not a part of me.

Yes, she is, and you're a part of her!

Emma, we're all in the same team here.

You need to trust us.

Emma, key in the code!

As soon as we have a clear shot we'll make our move.

Exactly what is our move?

You hit the Stasis Regulator with an electro magnetic pulse.

Within five minutes, this whole place will be like one giant pod.

Nobody will know what hit them...

Including Eckhart.

The stasis field will be unregulated.

So? So, everyone could die.

We have to get the New Mutants out of here first!

Now, we don't have time.

Look, that could be us in there.

If we go in there, we'll blow it.

I thought you had a score to settle.

I do.

The things Eckhart did to me...

Think how you'll feel when you know

he'll never hurt anyone again.

Don't worry about Conlan,

her powers will soon be depleted.

She's got one or two pulses left in her at best.

So, Conlan won't be the powerful ally I hoped for.

And your experiment is a complete failure.

220 volts at 8 ohms, that should do the trick.

You're not asking for much, are you?

Not anything you can't deliver.

All right, step back.

Yeah! Good work!

I'm so sorry, Adam. I just got scared.

You're gonna be sorrier if we can't get you back together.

I want you to go to your room and I want you to stay there

until Brennan comes to get you. Understand?

All right. Go!

That was a little harsh, wasn't it?

Uh, the way this Emma's acting

it's the only kind of thing she’ll understand.

We got work to do. Let's go.

Emma...

I don't know if I can do this.

Do you wanna live in Eckhart's grip the rest of your life?

However short he makes it.

No.

Well, if we don't eliminate him now,

that's exactly what's gonna happen to you,

and thousands of others just like you.

The regulator's right in the middle.

I may need your help when I'm through.

You did it.

Come on, we've got to get out of here fast!

Adam, do you copy?

Yeah, I'm right here.

What's going on?

We're scanning the area over Genomex,

there's no sign of Emma or Conlan.

Adam, I'm getting a really weird reading

on the spectrometer here.

What kind of reading?

Don't know. Never seen anything like it before.

It seems to cover the entire wavelength spectrum.

Conlan could have hit the internal stasis system

with one of her electro magnetic charges.

Yeah, that would be consistent with the readings.

And the entire compound could be covered with a stasis field.

Adam, it's getting stronger.

Good, that means we still get a chance.

Jesse, hit the compound with a microwave blast.

What?

Just do it now! It's the only way to neutralize the charge.

Mission accomplished.

The stasis field wasn't in full power,

maybe we caught it before anybody's metabolism

got too dangerously low.

Want to go in and check it out?

No, find Emma!

Start by looking for Maddie Conlan.

All Station Heads to my office, immediately.

Not again!

All right, one more time. Where is Maddie Conlan?

Man, who the hell are you?

If you don't cooperate,

you're gonna find out exactly who we are.

Listen, I don't know what you're talking about, all right?

Need some help? Yeah.

Hey, you. Come on, Man. Let's go! Let's go!

Come on.

Come on, Man. Get up!

She's just a girl, you little mamma's boy! Get your ass in there!

Now, where is she?

Thank you.

Let me guess, you want me to come back to Sanctuary.

Adam sent us to bring you both back.

You come with me.

Like hell I am.

It's getting irritating.

Better?

Hey... I got news for you...

Split Emma...

Heavy as a whole one.

You okay?

I did something terrible.

I think I hurt a lot of people today.

Talking about Genomex?

We took care of it.

So, nobody?

That means Eckhart will be after me.

Yeah, but you stick with us, we'll make sure you're okay.

Come on.

Is this gonna hurt?

You kidding me? It's gonna be just fine.

Hang in there.

All right, check her vital signs.

Pulse is 32.

Blood pressure’s 80 over 40.

It's about the same over here.

Can you push it any harder?

No, it's already in full power.

What's going on?

Perfect. Brennan, come here. Come here.

We need you two to use your powers together

to boost the spectrum of the EDD.

Whoa, like when Emma first got split?

Exactly.

All right.

You up for it?

What ever I can do.

Sure.

All right. Whenever you're ready.

Let's do it.

Maddie, don't quit, we need the power.

Come on, Maddie, stay with me. Come on! Come on!

Good.

Yes!

Okay. Okay.

Is she all right?

Yeah, she'll be okay. I got her.

Okay.

You okay?

Yeah, I think so.

All right. Well, what's the last ting you remember?

Meeting Maddie Conlan with Brennan

and then the GSA showed up.

She doesn't remember a thing.

About what?

Oh, about the hidden sides of Emma DeLauro.

They had us.

We would never have know what hit us.

I'd like to continue my research.

I feel we're getting close.

I fully support further exploration

to the possibilities of grafting mutancy

on to low level non New Mutants.

The research subjects would have to expendable, of course.

Of course.

Do you have anyone in mind?

We're gonna set you up with a new identity,

put you in a new town,

a safe place where Eckhart's not gonna be able to get his hands on you.

Looks like my opportunity

to put thee past behind me has finally come.

Good, I hope you take advantage of that

because these opportunities don't come around too often.

Thanks, Brennan. You're welcome.

Okay.

Ever wondered why we never got together?

Well, I can't say I've never thought about it.

So, how come you haven't put the moves on me?

Well, because I don't mix business with pleasure.

Oh, that was then.

How about now?

Yeah, now? Now more than ever, Maddie.

Don't you think this combination would be a little...

Combustible?

Hmm, your loss.

Where to get a cab around here?

Okay, it's official, you're crazy.

So, how insane was I?

Well, which you are we talking about?

Well, I guess they both had their moments.

Yeah, well, we're all walking dichotomies.

You know, light and dark, good and evil, Yin and Yang.

I think my Yang took over my Yin.

Yeah, your Yin put up quite a fight.

I'm sorry if I caused you guys a lot of trouble.

They weren't the real you.

Yeah, but if each Emma is a part of me...

No, no, no.

No, this is definitely a case where the whole...

Is far greater than the sum of its parts.
