ANDY Move! LAUREN I can't do that. CAITLIN What's going on? REED I've been getting the headaches since Andy left. When I touch things, they begin crumbling. JACE You're with the Purifiers. I don't think I'm down to join a WILSON hate group? JACE The mutants that escaped from the mental hospital are dangerous. Show everybody that the Purifiers are part of the solution. DOCTOR SECURITY GUARD Come on, the Doc's ready for you. DR JOHN Time for another exercise, girls. This is a bad man with a secret. I need you to look inside his mind and tell me what it is. Don't make me ask twice, girls. YOUNG FROSTS TERRIFIED MUTANT Please, don't. YOUNG ESME He's scared. YOUNG PHOEBE He thinks you'll find his family. YOUNG SOPHIE And hurt them. Because they're mutants. DR JOHN Dig deeper. Tell me where they are. YOUNG ESME He doesn't want to think about it. He doesn't want us to know. DR JOHN Then work together, just like we talked about. Three minds in one. YOUNG FROSTS YOUNG ESME Please don't make us. He's so scared for his family. DR JOHN You know the rules, Esme. Do you care about his family? Or yours? YOUNG FROSTS TERRIFIED MUTANT Please, please don't they'll kill them! ESME ECLIPSE ESME POLARIS ANDY Hey. Sorry, they, uh, they need us in training. Like now. POLARIS What, again? We're training again? ANDY Yeah, it's just what the Frosts said. POLARIS They've had us running through crazy simulations nonstop, all week. What is it this time? Attacking an armored personnel carrier? A citywide chase? ANDY I heard something about a SWAT team, actually. POLARIS Unreal. This just keeps getting better and better. ANDY I think Reeva just wants to prepare us for the next mission. POLARIS And where has she been lately? She even in the building? ANDY You know how she is. Out doing important stuff. Never talks about it. POLARIS Yeah, well she better start. ANDY So does does that mean you're coming or? 'Cause Rebecca's already down there. POLARIS Yes, I'll be there in a minute. ANDY Okay. DAWN POLARIS Oh I'm sorry, baby girl. Momma's got work. PHOEBE Hmm? What about this one? Everything has to have sleeves now. SOPHIE Ugh. PHOEBE I can't believe we have to wear last season's look because you let that human flashlight grab you. COMPUTER Hologram simulation active. SWAT GUY Open fire! Get them. REEVA Brava. ANDY Still needs work. TWIST I can do better. I was slow with those guys at the end there. ANDY No, you were awesome. POLARIS Look who breezed in. REEVA Is there something wrong, Lorna? POLARIS You tell me. We're training for some mystery job by playing SWAT team Whack-A-Mole with a bunch of holograms. REEVA No need to be upset. These are just worst-case scenarios. POLARIS Last time we went out in the field we nearly got ambushed by the Mutant Underground. And now we're, what, preparing to take fire from all sides? What the hell kind of mission is this? ESME An important one. POLARIS Well, here's something that's important to me my baby. Who I've barely seen in two days because of all of this training. Who may notice if Mommy comes home riddled with bullets. I need to know the actual plan. REEVA You'll know when you need to know. Trust me. ESME We're all on the same side here, Lorna. POLARIS Are we? I'll make this real simple for you. Either tell me what this little operation is, or I'm out. CAITLIN I don't see any more signs of a concussion. I am gonna go out on a limb and pronounce you recovered. LAUREN Thanks. How's Dr. Kelsey? CAITLIN It was a close call. He'll be better by the time the clinic reopens. He's a bit rattled. LAUREN I can imagine. CAITLIN On the bright side, I was able to track down the psychiatrist that worked at that mental institution where you saw Andy. I made us an appointment for tomorrow. LAUREN You really think that's a good idea? CAITLIN Yeah. LAUREN She worked at that hospital that locked up mutants. CAITLIN Yeah, well, apparently she felt bad about the way they were treated. So she might be willing to give us some information on that girl that Andy broke out. LAUREN And if she won't? CAITLIN Hey, we have to try. If we can find out why they wanted that girl, Rebecca, we are one step closer to Andy. REED You sure you're gonna be okay without me tomorrow? I still think I should go. CAITLIN Reed, you need to train. We have to get your powers under control. The anxiety meds aren't working and the side effects are getting worse. REED Can't we just change the dose? CAITLIN Honey, I know you want this to just go away. But you have to deal with it. Not just drug it. REED It's so difficult to explain. When it happens, I-I feel like I'm drowning. Just like. CAITLIN Like what? REED It's like when I got sick when I was a kid. When my dad made me sick. CAITLIN Hey. REED It's like everything's happening at once. CAITLIN Just let John help you. REED I don't see how training can help. It just something that happens. CAITLIN Just try. I remember you at law school. You were good at learning new things. REED Mmm. CAITLIN You're pretty damn good at anything when you want to be. REED You've always made me feel like I can do anything. CAITLIN You can. WILSON You all remember Turner here. It was thanks to him we hit that mutie clinic last week, and he's been doing a real good job on some of the patient files we found there. Jace? JACE According to the files, they were sending a lot of their patients to a hospital up in Baltimore. But it turns out, some of 'em never showed up. The ones with arrest warrants. KYLE You thinking Mutant Underground? JACE Who else can make mutant fugitives disappear? There's a station up there, I guarantee it. RAY Mmm, yes, well that's haul ass up to Baltimore and start shaking them trees. MEN Yeah. / Yeah. / Boom. JACE Just listen up for a second, please. We need to be smart about this. These terrorists have stayed ahead of the Sentinel Services because they work the system. They use our own society against us. Court orders, warrants. One of them scurries into a church, suddenly they're untouchable. Now, we don't have those rules. We can flush 'em out, run 'em to ground, tie 'em up in a neat little bow for the feds to collect. KYLE So we just start doing their jobs for 'em? PURIFIERS Yeah, right. JACE Let me ask you something, guy who brings a .50 cal to a meeting. Why are you here? Why are you all here? Because I think it's for the same reason that I'm here. You want to make your neighborhoods safe again, right? PURIFIERS JACE And I'd say that most people agree with you, but guess what? Mr. and Mrs. PTA don't want to be on the same side as a hate group. And if you keep running around waving your guns, beating up doctors, that is exactly how people see you. They see you as a hate group. But if you do this right, they'll come running to your cause. KYLE Did I miss the part where we put you in charge? WILSON Hey! Settle down. Here's how it's gonna be. I've talked to leadership. They want results. We're gonna give this plan a shot. On my orders. We clear? JACE The truth is, it's time somebody solved the mutant problem, and it's going to be us. MEN ANDY I was hoping you'd come. LAUREN Andy. What is this place? ANDY This is where we train. LAUREN You could have killed me. ANDY I know. I'm sorry, but I did warn you. Just don't get in my way again, okay? LAUREN This isn't you. How could you hurt your own family? ANDY This is my family now. And they're making me stronger. They could make you stronger, too. LAUREN Don't. ANDY This doesn't have to be a war. Aren't you sick of running? The Inner Circle is helping people. LAUREN So are we. ANDY Do you really think that getting a few mutants to Mexico is helping? Lauren, we can do things that you can't imagine. REEVA I thought you said you could handle training the team while I was away. PHOEBE We're sorry. SOPHIE You knew how volatile Polaris was when we recruited her. ESME I believe you said we "needed her spirit." PHOEBE Don't worry, we can bring her back into the fold. ESME She's used to being a leader in the Underground. SOPHIE She doesn't like being left in the dark. THE FROSTS None of us do. REEVA I manage information to protect all of us. ESME Of course. But giving Lorna a piece of the puzzle isn't gonna threaten the whole picture. PHOEBE We asked her to join us. SOPHIE and believe in our cause. ESME It seems we have a choice. Trust her or lose her. REEVA Fine. I have business I need to take care of, so handle this. THE FROSTS Of course. You can count on us. REEVA And girls. Don't make me regret it. REEVA I'm on my way. Is everything arranged on your end? Good, because if anything goes wrong, suffice it to say that the fallout from me will be nothing compared to the consequences for you. DAWN POLARIS It's okay, Dawn, it's okay. Momma's sorry she hasn't been around much. ESME POLARIS Hey, yeah, shh. I finally got her to sleep. She was screaming all morning. ESME We talked to Reeva. POLARIS I told you, I'm not running blindfolded into a slaughter. ESME And we're not asking you to. We want to tell you the plan. POLARIS Really? ESME We have maps, route plans, blueprints of the target. POLARIS When things go sideways, blueprints are almost as useful as to-do lists. Look, I need to go there, in person, to see it for myself. I need to know what I'm risking my life for. Okay? I owe it to her. ESME Hmm. All right, then. We'll go. THUNDERBIRD Up till now, your powers have manifested accidentally, under stress. When your emotions are out of control, your powers are out of control. REED I'm not out of control, I'm fine. THUNDERBIRD All right, show me. Here. Just relax. REED THUNDERBIRD Close your eyes and breathe. How do you feel? REED I feel like a guy with his hand on a radiator. THUNDERBIRD Try and dig a bit deeper. REED Can't you just show me the technique? THUNDERBIRD There's no one technique. All right, activating your powers, it starts with what's going on with you internally. Okay, try this. Focus on a time your powers manifested. How you felt when you crashed the car with Lauren. LAUREN Dad! REED Nothing's happening. THUNDERBIRD Reed, I can hear your heartbeat. It's not even elevated. I get it, Reed, you want a shortcut, don't ya? You want to make up 30 years of experience in one afternoon without doing any work. But to get a handle on this, you have to face your fears. I know you're scared to think about memories that are too painful. REED That is not true. THUNDERBIRD Okay, you have another excuse for me? You have another reason why you think you're special? So you're gonna tell me you're in control right now? ECLIPSE Guys, you gotta see this. BLINK Shatter called. He just sent this. Purifiers bombed a sanctuary church in Baltimore. REED Oh my God. BLINK They're bombing churches now. I mean, that's a crazy big step, even for them. ECLIPSE Yeah, they got a big group of refugees who've lost everything and no way to move them. Shatter's gonna take in as many as he can at the Baltimore station, but he needs our help. They need IDs, cars, the works. BLINK Yeah, well, I checked police scanners. The cops are out in full force. It's not a good time to move. ECLIPSE Yeah. THUNDERBIRD That's why we have to go. We have to show them we're still here. We have to stand together with the Mutant Underground, especially now. SHATTER It's too bad this is what it takes to get your ugly mugs up here. THUNDERBIRD Shatter, good to see you, too. SHATTER Good to see you. BLINK So, what's the situation? SHATTER We got about 20 refugees from the bombed church. They've been filtering in all day. And we already got a full house to begin with. Things have gotten worse ever since that hospital attack last week. ECLIPSE Eh, great. The Inner Circle makes the mess, we get to clean it up. SHATTER Oh, it's worse than that. The human groups that used to help us, they won't even take our calls. REED We need to get the names of the people who came in and start making some new IDs. I'll get my equipment. ECLIPSE We'll get on the names. THUNDERBIRD You sure you're okay to do this? REED Why, do you think I'm gonna explode? THUNDERBIRD Reed, you disintegrated a cast-iron radiator earlier. REED I was just overwhelmed. Look, I'm strong enough to keep it together while I make some IDs. THUNDERBIRD Reed, it's not about being strong. You're not going to know what's gonna set you off until you deal with the fear and the anger that's triggering this. REED You don't know anything about what I'm feeling. THUNDERBIRD No, but you do. And you need to own those feelings or you'll never have control of this. When your father suppressed your X-Gene, he also robbed you of the chance to work through this when you should have. REED John, I appreciate it. But I'll work through it in my way. MUTANT REFUGEES SHATTER We got all the personal information we could. Lots of these folks have been living in shelters and churches for a while now. REED Should be enough, let me see. SHATTER I heard a little of what you was talking about with John. REED Yeah, well, that's- SHATTER Uh, just hear me out. You know how I found out I was a mutant? I went to sleep, one day a normal kid, and I woke up looking like this. And everything I touched was turning to crystal. It was terrifying. When I looked in that mirror, I saw a monster. So I tried to kill it. I didn't put out the lights, but I cracked the windows a bit. I guess sometimes, the more you reject the things you can't face, the worse you make it. ESME Here you go. POLARIS Ugh, chamomile, really? ESME Well, if you're gonna be a yoga mom you gotta look the part. You wanted to see the target. There it is. POLARIS A bank? ESME It's not just a bank. They've got a mutant detection system. We can't get close without setting off alarms. POLARIS Now I get why Reeva was having us train to take fire from all sides. ESME Lorna, this place was built on mutant suffering. Creed Financial started funding mutant slavery in the 50s in South America. They pushed through anti-mutant legislation in the 70s for slumlords in mutant ghettoes. And they spent the 90s creating the Kick epidemic. They've got their hands in everything - even local Purifier chapters. But this, this is exactly the kind of thing you joined the Inner Circle for. POLARIS With all of Reeva's secrets, how am I supposed to know what anything's for? ESME You saw what happened after we hit the hospital. Hundreds of mutants took to the streets. We hit this place, maybe thousands. We'll inspire an army. All right, look, I-This one, it's not just a cause. It's personal. For me and my sisters. Creed Financial funded the lab that created us. POLARIS Created you? ESME My sisters and I, we're clones. TERRIFIED MUTANT ESME They made us do terrible things. For years it went on, until we couldn't take it anymore. We stopped the guards before they could put the collars on. YOUNG FROSTS ESME And we did what we had to do. YOUNG FROSTS Fire. Fire. YOUNG FROSTS ESME We were 13 years old. We got out. But we didn't escape what they did to us. The things they made us do. I know it's a risk, Lorna. But some risks are worth taking. REED I think we have a problem. THUNDERBIRD What is it? REED I spoke to a bunch of refugees from the church about what happened. None of them were injured. BLINK Isn't that a good thing? SHATTER It does seem kind of strange. REED If a bunch of Purifiers bomb a church to hurt mutants, why were none of them hurt? THUNDERBIRD Because it's a trap. ECLIPSE We have to get everyone out of here, now. REED I'll go get people from the back now. ECLIPSE Go, go. THUNDERBIRD It's too late. They’re here. PURIFIERS KYLE Come on, let's do this. JACE We have you surrounded. Anyone in the Mutant Underground who wishes to surrender will not be harmed. You'll be handed over to the proper authorities. KYLE They don't seem disposed to surrender. JACE They might. Just give it a few minutes. KYLE I say we storm the castle. JACE We're not- we're not "storming" anything. We're not here for blood. We're here for justice. Calm down. WILSON What's next, Jace? Trigger fingers are getting awfully itchy around here. KYLE I mean, does it really matter if we smoke 'em out or just smoke 'em? JACE Yes, it matters. Listen up, and listen good. The terrorists and the killers are inside, not out here. We're the good guys here, remember that. ESME So, I do need to talk to Reeva, but we can count on you? POLARIS I still want to look over the attack plan, but I'm in. ESME You were right, you know. If we're gonna do this, we need to trust each other. I'm glad we did this. POLARIS Me, too. But don't ever make me drink chamomile again. ESME POLARIS Where did you hear that song? ESME Uh, I don't know, just something that got stuck in my head. Probably from some old movie. POLARIS I don't think so. That's the lullaby I sing to my baby. ESME Oh, well, I, uh, I must have overheard it. POLARIS My aunt sang it to me when I was a kid. She learned it from my mom. It's all I have from her. I only sing it to Dawn when we're alone. Were you in my baby's head? ESME Lorna, what are you talking about? POLARIS Answer me. When Dawn stopped crying earlier, was that you in her head? ESME No, I-I would never do something- POLARIS Don't lie to me! ESME I-I didn't mean any harm, she-she was upset and I. POLARIS Is this your idea of trust? Is anything you tell me even real? ESME Please, y-you don't understand. POLARIS Oh, I understand. Nothing you say is real. ESME Please, Lorna, I can't breathe. POLARIS If you or your sisters so much as look at my daughter again, I will kill you. ESME REEVA Sorry. I couldn't let you do something you'd regret. POLARIS Just keep your monsters away from me and my daughter. SOPHIE Esme, are you okay? ESME CAITLIN Dr. Taylor’s office is just up here. Listen, before we go inside, I want to talk about what happened with you and Andy at the hospital. I feel like I pressured you to face him when you weren't ready. LAUREN I keep telling you, Mom that wasn't your fault. CAITLIN I just can't let go of the idea that we can get through to him. LAUREN We had another dream last night. CAITLIN You really think he's having these dreams, too? LAUREN I know he is. You wouldn't recognize him. He's different. He's gotten so much stronger. CAITLIN I've been talking to John. Andy getting stronger isn't unusual. Powers develop and-and change. Yours might, too. LAUREN And then what? Fight Andy again? CAITLIN Hopefully, it-it doesn't come to that. He-He may come home when he realizes- LAUREN He's not coming home. CAITLIN Well, when he realizes what he's doing is wrong- LAUREN You still don't get it. Andy doesn't want to be saved. He believes the Inner Circle is helping people. Mutants are calling them heroes. CAITLIN LAUREN Maybe he's right. Maybe we're the ones that need to be saved. CAITLIN Thank you so much for seeing us on such short notice, Dr. Taylor. DR TAYLOR Of course. It's such a tragedy, what happened at the hospital. CAITLIN DR TAYLOR Tea? CAITLIN Um, sure. DR TAYLOR Now, which patient were you here about? I don't think you mentioned. CAITLIN Um, we were hoping you could tell us what happened to our cousin, a-a young woman, her name's Rebecca Hoover. DR TAYLOR She's your cousin? CAITLIN Uh, yes, um we haven't been close with that side of the family for a while. LAUREN It's just. Now that we know that the X-Gene is in our bloodline, we thought we should get to know more about her. Meaning, what she can do. DR TAYLOR I, uh. I'll tell you what I can. I haven't worked at the hospital for a while, of course. CAITLIN Yes, and-and why did you leave, exactly? DR TAYLOR I had issues with the treatment of some of the patients. Any time people are committed against their will, it's a difficult situation. CAITLIN Mm. DR TAYLOR Why don't I go get my notes? CAITLIN LAUREN Something's wrong. CAITLIN Uh, Lauren, I know you don't like this- LAUREN No, it's not that. She's scared. CAITLIN Why would she be scared? LAUREN I don't know. CAITLIN Hey, Lauren. DR TAYLOR Yes, please. I need help. LAUREN Now let's try this again. Tell me about Rebecca Hoover. DR TAYLOR Please, what do you want? CAITLIN We just need information. DR TAYLOR I can't talk about my patients. LAUREN Patients? You tortured those people. DR TAYLOR I treated them as best as I could. LAUREN Locking them in cages like animals! CAITLIN Hey, I know you did the best you could. I spoke to one of your patients. Michael. Do you remember him? He said you were kind to him. That's why we came to you. DR TAYLOR I tried. But it wasn't up to me. I should've done more. CAITLIN Then help us now. Michael said you felt bad about how they treated Rebecca, that she was abused and-and locked up. Some very dangerous people took her and we need to find out why. Because they also have my son. DR TAYLOR Oh god, I'm so sorry. LAUREN What? DR TAYLOR I need to show you something. We recorded all of our patient sessions at the hospital. We had to drug her, otherwise she could just turn her collar inside out. The cops found that out the hard way. She has the ability to twist things. A sort of dimensional manipulation. This was after she first came. We thought she was on her meds. We were wrong. ORDERLY CAITLIN DR TAYLOR I quit the hospital the same day. The autopsy said she turned them inside out. CAITLIN Oh god. DR TAYLOR That's how I knew you weren't Rebecca's family. That's how she killed them, too. PHOEBE Talk about amateur hour. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. SOPHIE You started having feelings all over the place and let your guard down. ESME I did what I had to do to convince her. PHOEBE Yeah, she looked really convinced. REEVA I believe the last thing I said to you was don't make me regret it. PHOEBE Don't worry. SOPHIE We broke it, we'll. ESME fix it. REEVA We can't afford to make any more mistakes. We need Lorna for this plan to work. And we need her by tomorrow. PHOEBE Well, we'll just have to use a more direct approach. ESME We can't control Lorna like that. Not forever. SOPHIE Between the three of us, we can do it long enough to fix your mistake. ESME Controlling people's minds can't be the solution to everything. PHOEBE Esme, that's what we do. SOPHIE That's what we are. ESME No, that's what he wanted us to be. You said we're building a new world. But if we're going to build something lasting, something real, then people need to believe. Especially Lorna. REEVA I admire your passion, Esme. But we can't afford to get sentimental. We're all making sacrifices here. MUTANT REFUGEES REED Hey, guys. Grab your stuff. Let's go. THUNDERBIRD It's Jace Turner again. He was at the clinic. He must have tracked us here somehow. BLINK He's almost as good as you. THUNDERBIRD Look, if you can portal everyone there, we got a straight shot to the road. BLINK They're gonna notice when we pop up behind them like gophers. I don't know about you, but I can't run faster than the pickup truck. THUNDERBIRD Eclipse, Skyler and Naya can cover us. Shatter and I will run interference. Hey everybody, on my signal, get ready to run! BLINK I'm going to open up a portal! I need you guys to move through as quickly as possible and seek cover as fast as you can. MUTANTS THUNDERBIRD Gas! Everybody get out! Go on! Get to the back of the building! MUTANTS THUNDERBIRD Clarice! BLINK THUNDERBIRD Clarice. Hey, hey. PEDRO PURIFIERS Let's go! / Move it! MUTANTS ECLIPSE We have to go back for the others. REED We can't. That is Halothane-X gas. If you go back there, you'll be unconscious in seconds. ECLIPSE Halothane-X? Didn't the cops stop using that after all those people got trampled? REED We're not dealing with cops. THUNDERBIRD SHATTER We got to get out. With those guys by the truck, we're sitting ducks. NAYA What do we do now? REED Is there another way out of here? SKYLER There is-there is a service tunnel on that side of the building. But it's on the other side of the wall. We use it to bring people in, but we can't get to it without going back through the gas. REED I can help with the wall. ECLIPSE Okay, well, we're still gonna have to deal with the guys outside. PURIFIERS SHATTER Maybe I can take 'em out. REED You can't go out there man- SHATTER My body can handle most small arms fire. REED Are you sure? SHATTER And it’s the only chance we got. REED All right. SHATTER Okay. Three. Two. MUTANTS REED Come on. Come on. Come on. SHATTER PURIFIERS Whoa! Get down! RAY REED Damn it. RAY Help! KYLE Ray! ECLIPSE Whoa, hey kid- KYLE THUNDERBIRD Come on, Reed. You can do this. REED THUNDERBIRD Look inside. It's in you. JACE Don't make me do this! Get on the ground! SHATTER LAUREN But you and Mom have never once talked about what it might mean for me to have Andy come home. ELLEN He's your son. REED SHATTER ECLIPSE Shatter! REED ECLIPSE Follow him now, go, quick! SKYLER Come on! REED THUNDERBIRD Go! Get her, get her. ECLIPSE POLARIS I told you to stay the hell away from us. Was I unclear? ESME Look. If you want to tear my head off, fine. Just please, hear me out. Um, I-I should never have been inside your baby's head. POLARIS Yeah. ESME She was crying and I needed to talk to you. It was wrong, and I'm sorry. But I felt something in her. Something I've never felt before. The love of a mother. POLARIS I didn't have a mommy, either. That doesn't give you the right to invade my child's mind. ESME No, it doesn't. I manipulated you because we need you. POLARIS ESME Because that's what we do. We We make people do what we need them to do. That's that's why we were made. POLARIS That's no excuse. You don't just have to accept that. ESME We didn't. You deserve to know the whole story. POLARIS What are you talking about? ESME We didn't start off as triplets. DR JOHN Esme, Phoebe, Sophie. Report for duty. ESME During our exercises, they kept two of us locked up. As leverage. Celeste and Mindee had to stay back that day. TERRIFIED MUTANT YOUNG ESME Grab your guns. Fire. ESME When we decided to escape, we thought we could save everyone. We were wrong. CELESTE MINDEE YOUNG FROSTS ESME Mindee and Celeste, we couldn't get them out. We never told anyone that story before. Not even Reeva. I've felt death. I was a part of my sisters when they died. I-I felt the pain, and the terror like it was happening to me. YOUNG ESME ESME And I would do anything, anything to protect your daughter from that. I'm sorry. I just I want you to know that whether or not you join this fight, I'm on your side. And hers. WILSON You did it, bud. Authorities rolled up the whole station. Biggest mutant bust in years. JACE Not how I wanted that to go down. WILSON Look, those were some pretty words about nobody getting hurt. But that man who died, knew what he signed up for. He died a hero, and he'll inspire dozens more. Wanna make an omelet, you-you gotta some break eggs. And that guy you cracked open? Turns out, Humpty Dumpty supposedly died in Atlanta. You said your wife thought you were chasing some loony conspiracy theory? Well, look at you now. Come on, the guys are buying rounds of Patron. You're one of us now, brother. JACE CAITLIN Lauren, wait there's something I need to tell you. LAUREN Wh-What is it? CAITLIN I've been thinking and I realized, with this whole trip I am making the same mistake as before. Dragging you into a fight that is not yours. LAUREN Mom. CAITLIN It is not on you to bring Andy back. It's on me. Oh god. Honey, you know I love you every bit as much as your brother, right? I-I would never put you at risk to save him. LAUREN I know that. But you saw the same thing I did. Andy thinks he's doing the right thing. But the Inner Circle recruited that psychopath. If he won't come back on his own, I have to fight him, and bring him back myself. VIDEO GAME SOLDIER CAITLIN What's wrong? Where's Reed? THUNDERBIRD Maybe it's best if you don't. CAITLIN What? Oh god. REED Don't come any closer! CAITLIN REED It won't stop. I can't make it stop.
