OFFICER WILSON Hate group? If you change your mind. ERG I have information you want. In exchange I need assistance. BLINK Are you asking me to be a spy? EVANGALINE Since your failure in Atlanta, half the Underground's been taken apart. You think I'm going to let you destroy the rest of what we built? THUNDERBIRD Lorna! MAN PEOPLE BLINK They're killing each other. MAN BLINK We can't just leave these people here. THUNDERBIRD Come on. THUNDERBIRD They got away. And they took at least one patient with them. DAN I’m just saying, you want to move up, do your street time. Lot of rookies want to write the detective exam the minute they get a badge. JACE Nah, I'm just taking it one day at a time right now. DAN Yeah, nice try. I've been around a while; I know your type. Just don't get ahead of yourself. JACE What's up? DAN The hand. Check it out. All right, be ready. Never know what they can do. Come on; let's go see what he's up to. DAN Hey. Tell us what you're doing here? LOITERING MUTANT Waiting for a friend. That against the law now? DAN Let's see some ID. LOITERING MUTANT What's your problem, man? I got rights. DAN Are you refusing to comply? LOITERING MUTANT I haven't done anything wrong. DAN Then you won't mind showing ID. LOITERING MUTANT This is harassment. JACE Whoa, what are- What are you doing, man? DAN My job. He disobeyed a lawful police order. JACE No, he was just standing there, you didn't have to do that. DAN He made a move. JACE Sir, the use of force guidelines doesn't say anything. DAN What? You think he got a bad rap? You think I went in too hard? Let me tell you a story, rookie. Few years back, me and my partner were on patrol. Pull a guy over for a broken taillight. Mutie driver stuck him with some kind of poison, he died in seconds. I tased this guy so I don't have to tell your wife and your baby girl that you died on my watch. So why don't you think about that next time you quote the rule book at me. Now get him up on his feet and get him in the car. JACE Spread your legs. Let's go. LOITERING MUTANT THUNDERBIRD Caitlin! CAITLIN In here. How is she? THUNDERBIRD She lost consciousness. We barely made it out of there, the police showed up, and patients were running around everywhere. I've got more mutants in the car right now, one of them's injured pretty bad. REED Go, go. We've got Lauren. CAITLIN Okay, honey. Let me see you. Open your eyes. Her pupils are a little dilated. Lauren, do you know what day it is? LAUREN It's Tuesday. CAITLIN Any nausea and dizziness? LAUREN No. I'm fine. CAITLIN Okay, good. I-I think it's just a mild concussion. Thank God. LAUREN Andy. I was trying, I was trying to get him. I tried. He wouldn't, he wouldn't listen to me. REED Hey. It's okay, it's okay, baby. LAUREN No, no, it's not okay. It's not okay. I'm sorry. CAITLIN No, no, honey. None of this is your fault. REED Let me get her home. Get her some rest. CAITLIN No, I-I. I want to stay with her. WOMAN Hey! We need another gurney over here! REED You've got your hands full here. Let me take care of her. LAUREN Mom. I'm okay. Go. CAITLIN I love you. THUNDERBIRD Hey, I need some help! CAITLIN Call me i-if she's feeling sick. REED It's okay. Go. CAITLIN If anything changes. THUNDERBIRD Stand back. CAITLIN What happened? THUNDERBIRD Uh, his body secretes some kind of acid- CAITLIN Get the others in room two. We need the doctor! Here. Put him down here. Be careful. Don't touch him. Your hands. THUNDERBIRD I'm fine. We almost had Lorna and Andy. CAITLIN I still don't understand. How did you let Andy get away? THUNDERBIRD It was chaos, all right? We were trying to save patients, deal with the cops. CAITLIN But you couldn't track him? THUNDERBIRD Caitlin, There was too much going on. All right? The mutants using their powers, the cops showed up and the noise, it was sensory overload for me. I couldn't tell one track from another. CAITLIN We were just so close! Lauren got hurt, we didn't get Andy. We-we don't even know who they took or why. THUNDERBIRD We're not gonna give up. We're gonna bring Andy home. Him and Lorna. I promise, okay? We just need to get ahead of the Inner Circle. We have to figure out what they're planning. CAITLIN How? THUNDERBIRD That man, he was on the floor as Andy and Lorna. Maybe he can tell us something. CAITLIN If he makes it. THUNDERBIRD Caitlin, I did the best I could out there. All right? Please, let's just try and salvage something from this. This can't have been for nothing. ANCHOR It was a violent, unprovoked attack that left the staff of Lynwood Hospital beaten and bloodied. The people behind today's attacks say they are freedom fighters. They released mentally unstable, violent mutants. Words matter, folks. Call this what it is. Mutant extremist terrorism. They take hostages. They force them to make some bogus confession. They are terrorists. And let's talk about the so-called victims at the mental hospital. These people were locked up for a reason. They're capable of horrendous violence and thus should not be allowed to roam. JACE ANCHOR One of these guys secretes acid from his skin. A powerful corrosive that destroys everything it comes into contact with. Does that sound like someone who should be walking the streets? These people are fugitives. We need to track them down and put them away before they hurt or even kill innocent people. GLOW Everyone really appreciates you guys rescuing us from the mental hospital, but they're all scared. They want to know how we're going to get away from Sentinel Services. What's your plan? ECLIPSE Well, we're going to get you out of the city first. BLINK I checked the radio. Roadblocks everywhere. We can't move. ECLIPSE This is bad. We can't keep this many here. We haven't got enough supplies, we don't have anywhere anyone can sleep. BLINK What about the Morlocks? ECLIPSE You're not serious. GLOW Who are they? BLINK Mutant group. They live underground. ECLIPSE Yeah, in the sewers. BLINK That's what air freshener's for. Do you prefer to get caught? ECLIPSE Okay, Clarice, John doesn't trust Erg. BLINK He helped us. It may not be ideal, but it might be the only thing to keep these people safe. NEWSCASTER A group claiming responsibility for today's attack released the following statement "Mutants, our fate is in our own hands. And this is the tip of the spear. It's time. Mutants must rise." The group, known only by the hashtag "Mutant Uprising," has already inspired protests. Meanwhile, civil rights advocates, while condemning the violence, noted that they have long criticized the- LAUREN Andy, I know you're scared. ANDY I'm not scared! NEWSCASTER Human rights organizations fear today's attack will encourage other mutant terrorist groups. ANDY S-So this is good? I mean, after what we did? POLARIS Andy, you had to do it. ANDY I hurt Lauren. I could've killed her. POLARIS But you didn't. You pushed as hard as you needed to to get us out of there. And look what we did. Andy, you should be proud. It was a total success. ESME Not quite. We need to talk about our guest. ESME She hasn't spoken since she got here. PHOEBE It's a big problem. SOPHIE She's the key to Reeva's next step. ANDY What did you guys expect? She's been locked up for years. POLARIS He's right. Imagine what's going on in her head. THE FROSTS We don't need to. We can see for ourselves. TWIST DOCTOR Tighter. Break her arm if you have to. TWIST DOCTOR This'll knock her out. TWIST Please. Please stop. I can’t see. I can’t breathe. FROSTS POLARIS That bad, huh? THE FROSTS You have no idea. REED She's fine. We just got home. She's laying on the couch. She's tired. She's just got a bit of a headache. CAITLIN Okay. Give her some ibuprofen and make sure she stays hydrated. REED I will. How's it going there? CAITLIN We talked to the other mutants from the hospital. Nobody knows anything about Andy. I was wrong to let her go. REED She did what she thought she had to do. CAITLIN We could have lost both of them; Lauren could've been. REED The most important thing is she's okay. CAITLIN Please, just tell her I'm sorry. REED I will. Don't you worry. Talk to you later. CAITLIN REED Your mom feels terrible. She blames herself that you were there. LAUREN I had to be there. He was just so, so strong. REED I just can't believe that you looked him in the eye and told him you wanted him to come home, and he attacked you. LAUREN He believes. I could see it in his eyes. He wasn't going to let anything stop them. Not even me. ANDY What's going on? SOPHIE They're testing her powers. ANDY What are they? SOPHIE You'll see. ESME Rebecca, look, I know you haven't used your powers in a while, but we're gonna need you to try. We want to help other mutants, like we helped you. POLARIS Look, I was in a mental hospital, too. They treat us like animals. That's what we're fighting. ESME And you can be a weapon in that fight. Don't you want to go after the mutant haters? We need you. We can't do this without your help. POLARIS Just show us what you can do. ESME Rebecca. ESME She may be too far gone. POLARIS We just rescued her. She needs time. ESME We don't have time. Reeva's planned an operation to cripple our enemies, but it doesn't happen without Rebecca. POLARIS Well, if she's so important, maybe Reeva should be here working with her. ESME She's not on vacation. She's laying the groundwork for the next part of our plan and she's depending on us. Do you want to tell Reeva her new weapon is a dud? ANDY Maybe you should stop calling her a weapon? I mean, she is a person. You could try treating her like one. ESME Excuse me? ANDY Well, you cover her in wires, talk about her like she's a thing. What do you expect? POLARIS Andy, I've seen what happens to people who get locked up in those places and sometimes there's no coming back. ANDY Can I talk to her? You've got nothing to lose. ESME You know what? Knock yourself out. BLINK Come on, this way. ECLIPSE Doesn't John have extra powerful senses? How the hell did he stand the smell down here? BLINK He’d breathe through his mouth. ECLIPSE Now I can taste it. BLINK It's not much farther. ECLIPSE I don't get it. John said you were wandering around here for hours when you came down before. How'd you even know where to go? BLINK I don’t know. I just guessed. ECLIPSE And there's, like, no light down here to absorb either. If I use up my energy, I'm not gonna be able to fight, you know that, right? GLOW Um. Maybe I can help. BLINK Huh. Want something done right, ask a woman. ECLIPSE Great. How do we find these people? ERG You don't. We find you. BLINK Hey. I, uh, I need to talk to you about something. CAITLIN I-I can't stop the bleeding. The acid keeps eating through the gauze. DR KELSEY I'm stitching as fast as I can. This wire is a lot harder to work with than thread. MICHAEL THUNDERBIRD What's happening? DR KELSEY Decreased breath sounds, left side. He's got a tension pneumothorax. THUNDERBIRD What's that? CAITLIN Air in the chest cavity. His lung must be damaged. THUNDERBIRD Go! Do something! DR KELSEY I can't do a needle decompression if I can't touch him! THUNDERBIRD Give me the needle! I'll do it! CAITLIN John, you can't. THUNDERBIRD Just tell me what to do! CAITLIN The acid- THUNDERBIRD I'm not gonna let him die! Give me the damn needle. MICHAEL DR KELSEY Between the second and the third ribs. Lower. THUNDERBIRD Right here? DR KELSEY There. THUNDERBIRD How-how deep? DR KELSEY Until you hear a hiss of air. THUNDERBIRD CAITLIN There. THUNDERBIRD Ah! DR KELSEY He's out of the woods. For now. CAITLIN John. Let me look at you. THUNDERBIRD No. Just get him talking. We need answers. CAITLIN We gave him some flumenazil to wake him up, it shouldn't be long. Can I please do this, now? I've never seen you like this. THUNDERBIRD It's okay. My body is denser than normal. I damage less, heal faster. CAITLIN I don't need a lesson in mutant medicine. I'm asking about you. THUNDERBIRD I keep screwing up. I lost the Atlanta station. I lost Andy and Lorna. When we found out about the mental hospital I thought that I. CAITLIN What? That you could redeem yourself? Listen, what I said earlier, I- That wasn't fair. This isn't your fault. THUNDERBIRD It. CAITLIN No. It's not. None of it. I sent you out there. We weren't prepared. THUNDERBIRD No. I should've done more. MICHAEL Where am I? THUNDERBIRD You're okay; you're in a clinic. MICHAEL I remember you. You saved me. THUNDERBIRD Yeah, what's your name? MICHAEL Michael. You served? THUNDERBIRD Marines. Two tours. Yeah. MICHAEL Me too. 82nd Airborne, Mutant Corps. When that was a thing. THUNDERBIRD Michael, Michael. I hate to ask you this right now, but we have some questions about the hospital. Is that okay? The people behind the attack, they took someone from the room two down from yours. Do you know who it was? MICHAEL I think her name was Rebecca. CAITLIN Do you know anything else? Where she's from, what she could do? MICHAEL We were down there because the collars didn't work on us. Acid ate through mine. All I know is they kept her locked up tighter than anyone. Drugged, never let her out. Even the shrink felt bad about it. CAITLIN A psychiatrist? MICHAEL Her name was, uh, Dr. Taylor, I think. She was kind to us, said we didn't belong there. But she. But she. CAITLIN Breath sounds are shallow. I think that's all we're gonna get for now. GLOW You all right? ECLIPSE Yeah. GLOW Some of us are wondering what happened at the mental hospital, about the ones who released us. ECLIPSE Okay. Um I don't know much, but they're called the Inner Circle and they say they're building something to help all the mutants. GLOW You say that like it's a bad thing. ECLIPSE Yeah, well, Hitler had big dreams too. They recruited my, uh- My kid's mom. My baby girl is with them. GLOW Sorry. But they can't be all bad, right? I mean, they freed us., so... I don't know, I just try to see the good wherever I can. ECLIPSE Weren't you locked up in that horrible place for years? GLOW It was hard, yeah. But there were always little things. Sometimes we'd get Jell-O. ECLIPSE Jell-O? GLOW There's always a bit of light. Even in the darkest places. ERG You said you wanted to meet. You didn't mention any of this. BLINK You strong-armed me into being your spy. You wanted information- Here. List of mutants we've helped through the Underground and their powers. ERG Our deal did not include taking in refugees from a mental hospital. BLINK They have nowhere else to go. Oh, I guess you only care about people that can do something for you. You sound just like the Inner Circle. ERG We are nothing like them. This is a community. I protect these people. BLINK Exactly. You claim to be some mutant savior. Then do some freaking saving. Those refugees out there, they need you. Please. ERG All right. I'll take them. But first you're going to help me. ANDY Hey. Just figured you want some company. You probably haven't talked to anybody in, like, a long time. That place you were in was messed up. Or, I mean, it's cool, I could just hang out, too. Didn't actually tell me what your power was. They just said that they needed you. They need me too, cause-- It must've sucked, being stuck all alone. All those people treating you like crap every day. It's kind of like high school. This place is better, though. Even if you're still kind of alone, but at least you don't have to apologize for just being who you are. That's kind of how it was with my family. I tried to explain, but they just didn't get it. My sister, she just- She wouldn't listen. But, you know, th-this place is kind of like my new family. You can be a part of that, too, if if you want. Inside out, huh? My name's Andy. TWIST Rebecca. ANDY GROUP TED WILSON Jace! JACE Hey. TED WILSON Glad you made it. JACE Good to see you. KYLE Hey. I'm Kyle. JACE Jace. Nice to meet you. KYLE Yeah, you too. Wilson said you worked Sentinel Services? JACE I did, I did. He said you guys were doing some good work here, I thought I'd check it out for myself. TED WILSON Hey, yeah, why don't you grab a cup of coffee. We'll get started in a few minutes. JACE All right. TED WILSON Listen, I know we're all upset about what happened today. We saw a mutant terrorist attack on our soil like we haven't seen since 7/15. Thousands of people cheering the terrorists on-- We all saw the protests on the news, huh? But word is, they hit the streets here tomorrow. Well, we are going to be waiting for them. MEMBERS Yes. TED WILSON We are gonna push back. MEMBERS That’s right. / Yes. TED WILSON Our job? Send a message. They will not replace us. MEMBERS No they will not. / No. TED WILSON We're gonna meet them in the streets, one on one. MEMBERS Yeah. / That’s right. TED WILSON Jace? JACE Look, I know I'm just a guest here, but fighting with protestors, that's, that's just going to make the mutants look like victims. Somebody films it, the video goes viral and you end up looking just as bad as them. Now you've got a lot of manpower here. If you really wanted to, you could, you could make a difference. TED WILSON And what do you mean, exactly? JACE Well, the mutants that escaped the mental hospital are fugitives. How about helping to round them up? KYLE Isn't that Sentinel Services's job? JACE Sentinel Services's job is to cover their own asses, believe me. MEMBERS JACE The mutants that escaped from the mental hospital are dangerous. Somebody needs to get them off the streets. TED WILSON Well, how do we do that? JACE Well, on the news, they said that some of them were injured, they're going to be looking for a place to get treated. You go to all the mutant-friendly clinics, hospitals. You find the fugitives, you turn them in, and you show everybody that Purifiers are part of the solution. MEMBERS TED WILSON You really think that'll work? JACE I don't think it will. I know it will. ANDY This is where everyone hangs out. Kind of looks like a modern art museum, but this place is pretty dope. You can get basically whatever you want. Coffee, snacks. The chef makes a mean bacon cheeseburger. They got every video game I can think of. Oh, yeah. That place where you were locked up didn't have any windows, huh? TWIST I forgot how beautiful the sky could be. ANDY It must've been tough being trapped in a hole for so long. TWIST And now I'm trapped here. ANDY Trapped? We can go at anytime we want. TWIST In this? ANDY Yeah, I'll-I'll get the helpers to get you some normal clothes. What do you say, do you want to get out of here? TWIST Yeah. I'd like that. ANDY Cool. ANDY Hey. TWIST Hey. ANDY Wow. You look amazing. TWIST Yeah? I feel a little bougie, but I guess. ANDY No, it's perfect. You want to go? TWIST Mm-hmm. POLARIS Going somewhere? ANDY Yeah, we were just gonna go get something to eat. POLARIS The chef can make whatever you want. ANDY Well, she hasn't been outside in, like Like, how long? TWIST I don't know. Over a year? POLARIS Andy, can I talk to you a second? ANDY Sorry. ANDY What's up? POLARIS Look, I think it's great you got her out of her shell, but, uh, taking her outside? ANDY She needs this. POLARIS Andy, I was in one of those places. When you leave, it takes to adjust, okay? You can't just. ANDY Hey, you want her to fight for our freedom, right? What about her freedom? Isn't she allowed to have it? POLARIS Be careful. ANDY Okay. All right. BLINK So, what is this favor I'm doing for you? ERG It's better to show you. It's just a little farther. BLINK So, what's with the eye patch? You get the wrong end of a sharp stick? ERG I lost my eye when I manifested as a teenager. Some kids were beating me up when it happened. BLINK Well, why were they beating you up if they didn't know you were a mutant? ERG They weren't mutant haters, just good old-fashioned racists. Anyway, I discovered I could absorb and redirect energy. Through this. BLINK And what if no one attacks you? ERG Then I've got nothing to throw back at them. All we want is to be left alone. It's this way. ERG Here. BLINK What's here? ERG I need you to use your abilities to get us up there. About 50 feet up. BLINK Okay, listen. If you're using me to get some sort of weapon, or something shady like that, I’m not. ERG Clarice. I think by now you know what kind of man I am. BLINK Why are we here? ERG We're gathering supplies. Canned food, baby formula. Normally, we send groups up on the surface to take what we need. It's dangerous work. I figured you brought us more mouths to feed, you can help us feed them. BLINK Great. ERG Is there a problem? BLINK Yeah, we don't steal from people. John says it makes it harder for mutants everywhere. ERG Is that what John says? BLINK And he's not wrong, trust me. I used to be a thief. Stealing from people kind of makes them hate you. ERG They already hate us. What I think your boyfriend doesn't understand is I don't need the humans' love. I don't care about their hate. BLINK So what are you fighting for? ERG We're not interested in a grand symbolic struggle. The Inner Circle's war with humans? It's just a recipe for senseless slaughter. And the Mutant Underground's fight for some pipe dream of coexistence is almost as bad. I don't believe in dreams. I believe in cornflakes. THUNDERBIRD How's he doing? CAITLIN A little better. Replacing the needle bought us some time, but he might need surgery. In a situation like this- What is it? MALE VOICES NURSE This is a medical facility, you can't just come in here. THUNDERBIRD Someone's here. A group. I think it might be Purifiers. We've got to get the mutant patients and hide them, now. Here, grab that blanket, we'll put them in the secret room. KYLE I'm sorry, is there something wrong with your hearing? I said open the door. NURSE You need to leave now or I'm gonna call the police. KYLE I said open the damn door. CAITLIN Here! Everybody stay quiet. THUNDERBIRD Ow, God! JACE Ma’am, hey. Listen to me. We don't want to hurt anybody, okay, we need to search the clinic for fugitives, so, please, let us in. KYLE No- NURSE No! MAN Come on, we'll find them. Open up. THUNDERBIRD Isn't that-? CAITLIN Jace Turner. From Sentinel Services. THUNDERBIRD Well, he's not with them anymore. CAITLIN He can't know we're here. GLOW I'm sure they'll be back soon. ECLIPSE Yeah, we shouldn't have come here. Look at this place. GLOW I know it's hard to believe, but after a few years in the mental hospital, this isn't that bad. ECLIPSE How did you end up there? GLOW I was at a concert, a few years ago. I was having fun, and I wasn't thinking. And I started dancing. I just created these orbs. People panicked. I was charged with inciting a riot. At the trial, though, one juror wouldn't convict me because the lights aren't dangerous. So they tried something else. They diagnosed me with a manic disorder and they sent to the mental hospital. The doctors told me I'd never be cured. ECLIPSE I would have been so, so angry. GLOW I was. But you know, eventually I realized I could forgive them, or I could spend the rest of my life angry. So I forgave them. ECLIPSE I don't think I could do that. GLOW Don't underestimate yourself. BLINK Hey. ECLIPSE Clarice, where the hell have you been? BLINK Just talking with Erg. ECLIPSE And? Can they stay? BLINK Yes. But he wants to talk to everyone first. ERG You've seen our society. Here, all mutants are free to live without hate, judgment, or persecution. An oasis where your powers are not only accepted, but celebrated. You are welcome to stay here on one condition. Those of you who choose to remain with us must take the mark. ECLIPSE Whoa, wait, hold on. These people need your help, you're asking them to mutilate themselves? ERG Those who have visible mutations are exempt. ECLIPSE ERG Down here, we embrace our mutant nature, we do not hide it. This is a mark of pride. ECLIPSE Then put a big “M” on their shirts or something. But burning their faces is completely different. BLINK Marcos, please. It's their house, their rules. ECLIPSE How can you be okay with doing this? BLINK What other choice do we have? GLOW Hey. It's all right. ECLIPSE You don't have to do this. GLOW We don't have a home. We'll take the brand. TWIST What? ANDY Nothing, I've just never seen somebody eat a burger that fast before. TWIST Sorry. It's been a while. ANDY It's cool, I hate it when girls only eat, like, salads and stuff. You want my shake? It's all yours. So, that thing you did with the tennis ball, do you like, turn stuff inside out or something? That-That's incredible. That's crazy. How does that work? TWIST Most people can move things up, down, sideways. For me, there's another direction. I just kind of twist things that way. Turn them around. Upside down. Inside out. ANDY That, that's awesome. TWIST ANDY Look, I, I know they were pushing you around in the training room, but I just want you to know, we're actually trying to do something good. We're trying to build a place for mutants. Like a-a new homeland, where you don't have to. TWIST Dude, you can skip the sales pitch. You had me at milkshake. ANDY TWIST Check it out. You want to have some fun? Come on. POLICE RADIO ANDY Uh, What are we, what are we doing, exactly? COP 1 What the Hell? 2564, requesting assistance. ANDY Are you crazy? Those are cops. TWIST I know; I hate cops. Now you. ANDY No. TWIST Come on. I showed you mine. Okay, that? Freaking awesome. ANDY Yeah, let's go. KYLE Jace. Look what I found. JACE Where are the patients? DR KELSEY I told you, we don't have any now. JACE Really? What happened here? DR KELSEY It was, it was just an accident. Nurse spilled some chemicals. JACE Is that right? Because the news they said one of the escaped mutants secretes some type of acid. KYLE Looks about right to me. JACE Where is he? DR KELSEY I don't know what you're talking about. JACE Doctor, you're lying to us. DR KELSEY No, I'm not. KYLE Hey, hey. I'll get it out of him, all right? DR KELSEY NURSE THUNDERBIRD CAITLIN John. THUNDERBIRD Caitlin, I have to. CAITLIN No, you can't! He thinks we're all dead. If he finds out we're here, do you have any idea what that means? THUNDERBIRD I can't just do nothing, come on. CAITLIN This isn't about you. It's about all of us. The whole Mutant Underground. People need us, now more than ever. MICHAEL THUNDERBIRD What's wrong? CAITLIN Damn it. The acid ate through another needle. MICHAEL THUNDERBIRD We got to get him to a hospital, all right? That's why I have to go out there. CAITLIN And do what? Kill them all? A bunch of Purifiers get slaughtered in a mutant-friendly clinic, and then what? This place is gone. MICHAEL Listen to her. Mission comes first, brother. THUNDERBIRD I'm not gonna let you die. MICHAEL I'm tough. I'll be okay. Tell him. THUNDERBIRD Can he hold out? MICHAEL Tell him. CAITLIN His lung function's better. I think he'll make it. MAN Open that one! Come on, come on! Let's go! KYLE Tell me. Where are the mutants? DR KELSEY Please. I told you, I don't know. JACE Hey, hey! That's enough! Man, what are you doing? KYLE That man is a traitor to his species. I say we take him out back and. DR KELSEY JACE We got to go. We got to go now. Let's go, everybody out. THUNDERBIRD They're leaving. We've got to get him ready. Take him to the hospital. No. CAITLIN I'm sorry, John. The damage was too great. THUNDERBIRD You knew. You knew he wouldn't make it. CAITLIN H-He knew it, too. THUNDERBIRD You lied to me! CAITLIN I'm sorry, John. It was the only option. Michael understood that. THUNDERBIRD CAITLIN Hey, hey. He told us about Rebecca. Maybe we can get to the shrink and find out more. It wasn't all for nothing, John. It wasn't. ERG You're still here. BLINK We're, uh, sticking around until after. In case anyone changes their mind. ERG They won't. BLINK You're confident, are you? ERG People want to belong to something. We give them that. Don't you want that, too? BLINK I'm happy where I am. ERG Are you? You hide yourself up there. For them. Contact lenses, covering your ears, your markings. Even your name hides who you are. BLINK My name? Clarice? ERG Clarice is a name for a human. Tell me this, what can you do? BLINK You know what I can do. ERG Tell me. BLINK I portal.
