A bank? ESME Creed Financial is built on mutant suffering. We hit this place, we'll inspire an army. THUNDERBIRD The people behind the attack at the mental hospital, they took someone. Do you know who it was? MICHAEL I think her name was Rebecca. DR TAYLOR We thought she was on her meds. We were wrong. CAITLIN ERG You hide yourself up there. Never hide who you are. SHATTER Maybe I can take them out. It's the only chance we got! SHATTER Ah! WILSON Authorities rolled up the whole station. Biggest mutant bust in years. You're one of us now, brother. CAITLIN Oh, God. REED I can't make it stop. BENAZIR All right, listen up. I know a lot of you have been talking about the situation at the 11th Ave projects. Mutant families aren't getting their leases renewed. The only folks who get their applications looked at are the ones with no X-Gene in their families. So we have got to let the arrivals know that this is our hood. That they need to find a new place to go and soon. REEVA Wait, h-hang on, Benny. Are you seriously talking about knocking on doors and telling families to get out? We're not gonna make any friends. BENAZIR We're way past making friends, Reeva. We've already had anti- mutant graffiti and vandalism. REEVA People are already scared of us. If we're coming to their homes and telling them to go- BENAZIR Hey, you think I want this? I want to be building playgrounds in the park. But what good is it when our kids are too scared to go out? REEVA Benny, seriously, th there has to be another way. BENAZIR Like what? Bring the humans a pie, tell them, "Hey, we'll go." Maybe we should turn ourselves in to Sentinel Services while we're at it. ACTIVIST MUTANTS BENAZIR All right. Let's print out some flyers, start on St. Lawrence and work our way west. Let's go. BENAZIR Reeva! Hey, wait up. Hey! REEVA What do you want? BENAZIR Listen, I'm sorry about what I said in there. REEVA Look, the idea was to make peoples' lives better. To work with the community. BENAZIR Reeva, they're driving us out. Soon we won't even have a community and we need a place that's ours. I shouldn't have done that. But we're living a lie if we think that these humans are-are ever gonna accept us. REEVA Come on, Benny, we should go. BENAZIR Hey! What do you think you're doing? LEAD PURIFIER How's it your business? BENAZIR It's my business cause it's my building. LEAD PURIFIER Give me that. BENAZIR You the ones who broke the windows last week? LEAD PURIFIER Maybe, mutie. REEVA Look, Benny, don't. Just. LEAD PURIFIER Shut up! BENAZIR Hey! Don't touch her! LEAD PURIFIER PURIFIER 2 Hey! REEVA No! Benny! Benny no, Benny! No! BENAZIR REEVA Benny, no. Benny, Benny, Benny, please. No, Benny, no, please. No, no, no, please don't die on no Benny! REEVA All right. When we get to the Creed Financial building, we will neutralize the mutant detection system. Once that is done, we move in. Lorna will disable communications, while the girls and I will secure the employees. Rebecca will get us into the vault, with Andrew by her side for protection. We will take what we came for and then we will leave. Violence will only be used as a last resort. Any questions? POLARIS The mutant detection system. You sure you can knock it out? If you can't, this is gonna be a real short heist. REEVA The girls and I are working on that now. Everything will be ready. Get some rest. Tomorrow is a big day. ANDY Hey, you good? TWIST Yeah. Just the vault. The one in the training room is completely different. I have to turn the whole thing around. ANDY I think you should be fine. I mean, I saw what you did to that cop car. TWIST That's a car. I've been turning them inside out since I was 12. I don't know, I just don't want to get in there and have everybody staring at me, like, "You suck. We were all counting on you." ANDY Hey, I know you can do it. And I'll be right there. I got your back. TWIST So you'll kill them all if they make fun of me, right? ANDY Oh, yeah, all of them. TWIST Yeah. ANDY They're all dead. TWIST Oh, good. REEVA Make sure everything is ready for tonight. I can't be late for dinner. REED Oh, no. LAUREN You okay? CAITLIN Just breathe. REED Don't touch me! I don't want to hurt you. This is ridiculous. Me being here. It's been one night and it's already worse. I don't want to be the reason that you two are carted off by Sentinel Services. We need to get me to a hospital. CAITLIN No, they-they'd call the police the moment they saw you. REED I can use a different name, a fake ID. CAITLIN Look, even if it did work, most of the hospitals around here don't treat mutants at all, never mind one who destroys everything he touches. Look, at best you would end up in a prison hospital. REED At least then you'd be safe. If I stay here we're all gonna get arrested anyway. CAITLIN Then we'll move you. We are sticking together. I'm gonna go talk to the others. ECLIPSE You seriously want to move him? In his condition. CAITLIN I-I don't see that we have much choice. THUNDERBIRD Finding a safe place wherever we move him, he's going to do some damage. ECLIPSE Yeah, yeah. BLINK Well, why don't we just bring him to the Morlocks? Getting him underground might be our safest. CAITLIN I'm sorry, but as his human wife, I'm not really interested in my husband joining a mutant-only separatist group. BLINK I didn't say join. I meant to say maybe they could help. CAITLIN And I said it's not an option. ECLIPSE Okay. CAITLIN What about the clinic? ECLIPSE What, the-the place where the Purifiers just wrecked? CAITLIN Exactly, and it's been shut down ever since. Nobody's going to be watching it now. A-A little more damage won't raise any alarms. Look, who knows, I might be able to do something for him there. THUNDERBIRD Caitlin's right. The clinic is safer than here. All right. Marcos, Clarice and I, we'll organize transportation. CAITLIN I'm gonna head on over. Just hurry. JACE Yeah, no, I understand that you're her lawyer. If I could just if I could just talk to my wife for, like, two minutes, okay? Just to explain. DIVORCE LAWYER Mr Turner. That's not a good idea at this stage in the process. JACE I don't give a damn- I'm sorry. I've known this woman since high school, all right? We've been through the worst nightmare that a parent can go through together. Just ask her for two minutes, man. Please. DIVORCE LAWYER I'm sorry. But Mrs. Turner has instructed me not to let you speak to her. JACE Really? I got to go. DIVORCE LAWYER Mr Turner, avoiding this step- JACE Hey, man. WILSON Hey, man, sorry I'm late. JACE Why'd you want to meet up? WILSON Want to talk to you about something. Uh, taking down the mutie station in Baltimore turned a lot of heads. One of our top-level supporters wants to meet you. Tomorrow. JACE Okay. Who is it? WILSON Meeting like this is high security. No details in advance. JACE WILSON And, uh you got to get tested. JACE For what, the X-Gene? You're serious? I was in the Sentinel Services, man, there's no way- WILSON I know. There are no exceptions. Trust me, man, it's that important. JACE You know what? Yeah, let's do it. REEVA QUINN So, you're gonna spill it or what? REEVA What? QUINN The big secret. REEVA Big secret? QUINN You tell me to make sure this dinner's not in my calendar. How did you even find this place? REEVA I'm just being careful. If the board at my company ever knew that I was seeing one of the finance VPs from our bank. QUINN Ah. REEVA It's important. I need to know that tonight is just between us. QUINN To secrets. You know when I lost Sandy, I I never thought I'd find a woman that strong, that smart, that beautiful again. Hell, I wasn't sure I'd ever date again. With the boys and the hours I've been putting in at work and then I meet you. Check this out. My youngest, Kai, he drew this. REEVA Aw. QUINN Said for the first time in two years, Daddy is smiling again. REEVA That's sweet. QUINN Thank you. REEVA Do you want to get out of here? QUINN Hell yeah I want to get out of here. Check please. QUINN Oh, really. REEVA QUINN So, where'd you park? REEVA Actually, right there. QUINN Oh, that's funny. REEVA What? QUINN You've never struck me as the SUV type. REEVA Oh, really? QUINN REEVA What type did I strike you as? THE FROSTS Nice suit, Romeo. QUINN What is this? Who are you? REEVA I'm sorry. FROSTS Don't worry, Quinn. You're about to make history. QUINN Don't make me do this. I can't- REEVA Yes you can, Quinn. All you need to do is go into the bank and plug in a drive. QUINN What, to turn off the mutant detection system? They'll know. They'll catch me. REEVA Do not concern yourself with that. We will take care of you. All that matters now is that you do as you're told. QUINN And if I don't? REEVA Think of your boys. QUINN How how can you do this? REEVA Do you know how many anti-mutant organizations Creed Financial supports? How many they fund? QUINN That has nothing to do with me. I don't hate mutants. I-I don't choose clients. It's just a job. REEVA Working for a company that hurts people. My people. I need an answer, Quinn. QUINN Okay, just just don't hurt my kids. REEVA They will be fine. QUINN REEVA We'll bring you a fresh suit. We leave in an hour. QUINN Was it all a lie? Us? REEVA I wish it was, Quinn. It would have been easier. POLARIS I need to talk to you. ESME Why? Is everything okay? POLARIS It's about the job at the bank. We need to change the plans. ESME Uh, it's a little late in the game for that. POLARIS I don't care. I need someone to watch Dawn while we're in there. I want you. ESME Me? I'm supposed to be in the bank with you. POLARIS Your sisters can handle it. Look, Esme if something happens to me, I Look, you said you would do anything to protect her. ESME Reeva is not going to like this. THUNDERBIRD Hey, how we looking in there? ECLIPSE Uh, this thing's about as reinforced as it can be and still roll. THUNDERBIRD If you can get him in, that should hold long enough to get him there. BLINK I don't know why I'm always the asker of awkward questions, but then what? Is he going to live there? What's the plan? THUNDERBIRD Then we figure it out. Caitlin's working on it. I'm gonna grab some more scrap metal to fortify the clinic. BLINK What? ECLIPSE Nothing. Nah, there is something. What is it with you and the Morlocks, huh? BLINK What about the Morlocks? ECLIPSE Well, a couple weeks ago we didn't even know they existed. And now, all of a sudden they're the solution to every problem. BLINK We just needed a safe place to take Reed. ECLIPSE Is that all, Clarice? 'Cause Erg was practically waiting for us when we went down there a few days ago. BLINK What are you getting at, Marcos? ECLIPSE I'm just asking where your loyalties lie, that's all. BLINK Loyalties? From the guy who ran off to moonlight with a drug cartel? With the baby mama in the Inner Circle? I know you don't want to admit it, but the Underground isn't doing so well. I'd say we can use some new allies. JACE This is where we're meeting this guy, huh? WILSON He likes out of the way places. The day's gonna come we can have a meeting like this out in the open. For now, we got to be careful. We're up here. JACE So if I tell people about this, what, I get a an ice pick to the back of the head? WILSON There are worse things than ice picks. Well? You coming? RYAN Mr. Turner. Benedict Ryan. JACE Oh, of course, yeah. I've, uh, I've seen you on TV a million times. What. I-I guess I didn't expect you to be apart of all this. RYAN Well, not everyone can wear the cross. But trust me. Plenty of folks support your efforts. What you did in Baltimore was outstanding. The movement needs more men like you. Out in front. Inspiring people. Let's sit. JACE Oh. With all due respect, I'm not really looking to be out in front of anybody. I'm just looking for justice, I guess. RYAN You know why millions of people watch my show? 'Cause they want something to believe in. And your story- your daughter Grace, the work you did in Atlanta- that's gold. But what good is it if only we know? Mr. Turner, I have a plan to help the people take back America. But I need your help. REED Damn it. LAUREN What happened? REED Nothing, I'm fine. LAUREN Clarice is back with the ambulance. We need to go. REED Lauren. I don't think you should ride along with me. I've already caused an accident with you in the car. LAUREN We know what we're dealing with now. If anything happens, I'll protect you. REED It's not your job to protect me. It's my job to protect you. LAUREN Our family is in this together. It's time we start acting that way. We can't keep running from what we are. BLINK Hey, uh ugh, sorry to interrupt family time, but, uh, we got to roll. REED Yeah. Okay. Let's go. REEVA It's time. When we go to the bank, you will go in. You will put this in the computer in your office and then you will wait for us. QUINN Remember the first time we went out. That Greek place. I said I wanted to take you to Athens one day and you said I'd love that. REEVA Quinn, don't do this. QUINN I'd still go with you. If we just walked out of here right now. REEVA I told you to stop. QUINN You don't hate people. I know you have a good heart. REEVA Why do you think I'm doing this? To expose the guilty, to help those who will die without my help. QUINN I know you cared about me. REEVA Yes. And that is why when this is over, you will go home safe to your family. Do not test me, Quinn. I am not a monster unless I need to be. ANDY You ready to rock? TWIST Did you really just say that? ANDY Uh, I guess. Yeah. For real, though, are you still nervous? TWIST A little. ANDY Hey, you're going to crush that vault. I'm serious. TWIST It's not just that. I mean, I've barely been outside in, like, over a year. And now this. ANDY I believe in you. POLARIS Ugh. You lovebirds ready? ESME Don't worry. POLARIS I'm trusting you. I love you. Oh, uh, don't forget to burp her after she eats. She gets gassy. ESME X-Gene detectors are down. Go. REEVA RYAN I'll tell you what I need, Mr. Turner. I need someone to come on my show, tell them the truth. JACE And what-what is that? WILSON That Sentinel Services covered up what happened in Atlanta. That they've been lying to the American people. RYAN Help us clear out the rot so we can finally fix the mutant problem. JACE All right, hold on, hold on. You you want me to come on your show? Look, I have my issues with Sentinel Services, but there are good folks that work there. Can't just throw them under the bus. RYAN I appreciate your loyalty. But this country has a serious problem. Solving it is gonna take a man like you standing up. JACE That may be true, but we're talking about men and women that I trained with. People that have had my back. If I sell them out, I won't be able to sleep at night. RYAN Mr. Turner, well, the fact is, I'm more powerful than any politician you'll ever meet. I've got a direct line to the President. But we need someone to help us sell the message that this is the time for real change. I can take you down to the studio today. JACE Look, man, I'm sorry, I'm I'm just not that guy. REEVA Everybody form a line against the wall. Nice and easy everyone. Against the wall. Everyone stay calm. Cooperate, and you will walk out of here alive. MARNIE QUINN Hey. Marnie, Marnie, Marnie. It's all right. BANK MANAGER I don't know what you think you're going to accomplish here. QUINN James, just stop. BANK MANAGER No! They need to know. Our vault's made of adamantium. It's unbreakable, and the only people with the combinations are two states away. If you're smart, you'll just let us go. REEVA Oh, we'll let you go. But first you'll do something for me. You will tell the world how this bank was built off of the suffering of my people. BANK MANAGER If you think I'll cooperate with mutant terrorists— THE FROSTS Think you will? We know you will. BANK MANAGER By the time you see this, Creed Financial will be gone. For years, we've backed companies that persecute mutants worldwide. Bankrupted mutant-owned businesses. Crippled their investments. TWIST Wait, hold up. Are we really gonna let the workers go? POLARIS As opposed to what? TWIST I don't know. I mean, they did all this crap to mutants and then they just get to go home? I mean, seriously. They're humans. ANDY Hey, my mom's a human. TWIST Whatever. So was mine. It's not like she works here, Andy. POLARIS Rebecca. Can we just stick to the plan? The deal is we get what we came for and go. Understand? TWIST Okay, fine. I was just asking. POLARIS ECLIPSE You okay? THUNDERBIRD Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay. ECLIPSE Okay, brother, unfortunately I've known you long enough to know when you're spinning out, so... Cough up. THUNDERBIRD I was just, um, thinking about the patient that Caitlin and I lost here when Purifiers attacked. He was a soldier and uh, and I tried to help him. ECLIPSE You did everything you could. THUNDERBIRD Did I? ECLIPSE Yes. THUNDERBIRD Marcos, we've lost so much. Shatter died 50 feet away from me. I couldn't help him. ECLIPSE Okay, no, you were gassed, man, you couldn't even walk. THUNDERBIRD Everything we have worked for is dying. I called every station a hundred miles from here to see if they could help with Reed. Nothing. You know what they talk about? Mutant Uprising. The Inner Circle's beating us at our own game and people are losing faith. ECLIPSE Since we're talking about it, it's not just their loyalties I'm worried about. THUNDERBIRD What are you talking about? ECLIPSE I know you care about Clarice. We all do. But I think that you should talk to her. The Morlocks? Erg? You can't say you've never considered that she's thought about it, about what they're doing. THUNDERBIRD Hey, hey! She has fought alongside us since the beginning. ECLIPSE I get that. THUNDERBIRD You better have some proof. ECLIPSE John, I'm just telling you, man. Pay attention. THUNDERBIRD ECLIPSE I was down there. I saw something between them, just just ask. That's it. Hey. REED Be careful. Don't get too close. LAUREN Come on. Get some rest. POLARIS Ooh, look at that. Yeah, the plans were right. It's 15 feet back, mounted into solid bedrock. Open at the back. You're up, kid. ANDY You got this. TWIST Okay. God, it is so strong. But I-I think can turn it around. It's too much. ANDY Hey. You remember what it was like in that hospital? How angry you were? How alone? How afraid? You have to channel that. Just picture what it felt like. Use it. TWIST TWIST I did it. ANDY Heh. POLARIS We got work to do. WILSON What the hell was that in there? JACE Look, I don't know what to tell you, man. It's not my thing. WILSON I don't think you understand what you just passed up. A chance to make real change. JACE What, by selling out my friends? WILSON Friends? Did they stand up for you after Atlanta? Did they? We're your friends now, man. You know it's true. You lost your daughter. You lost your wife- JACE Hey, hey, don't-don't talk about my family, man! WILSON Here's the reality we're all you got. You want to show your wife you're not just some broken-down ex-agent living in the past? Change the future. QUINN Where are you taking me? What are we doing? REEVA You're going to get us into the accounts. QUINN REEVA The scanner, Quinn. QUINN You know what that means, right? People lose everything. Businesses. Homes. Innocent people. REEVA Tell that to the mutants who died so this place could turn a profit. Quinn, this is almost over. Be smart, and you will get through this. POLARIS Ah. The guest of honor. Time to log in. BANK MANAGER Let the world remember today. We are the ones who used our wealth and power to enable the torture of innocent mutants. We are the criminals. The time for the Mutant Uprising has come. The time for justice. PHOEBE Nice job. SOPHIE You're a natural. BANK MANAGER You people are monsters. SOPHIE Oh, according to the video you just made, we're heroes. PHOEBE It's been fun everybody but it's quiet time, now. Shh. SOPHIE It's been fun everybody but it's quiet time, now. Shh. ESME It's okay, sweetie. I could make you stop crying. But Auntie Esme is not allowed in your mind anymore, is she? No she isn't. No. SAGE They're in. ESME Shh! SAGE Something's coming through. ESME What is it? SAGE It's everything. ESME It's your first bank heist. LAUREN Any luck with Otto's old papers? CAITLIN Maybe. Most of his later research was overseen by his lab assistant. LAUREN Yeah, Dad told me about her. He already looked. Couldn't find anything on a Madeline Risman. CAITLIN No, but there is a Professor Madeline Garber at Charlotte State University. She's the same age, a geneticist. I think it's her. LAUREN REED CAITLIN Lauren. REED CAITLIN I think he's okay. The last six months he has been suffering right in front of me, but I was too focused on everything else. LAUREN It's not your fault. He kept that from you to protect you. CAITLIN I don't need protecting. LAUREN Maybe our family is cursed. Look at Dad. What if we're never able to touch him again? And think of everything Andrea and Andreas Von Strucker did as Fenris. CAITLIN The Von Strucker twins were murderers. They chose who they wanted to be. That-that has nothing to do with you. LAUREN Nothing? When Andy and I used our powers together in Atlanta, I knew that people were dying. But I felt free. I felt powerful. CAITLIN 'Cause you were saving all of us. You were doing the opposite of what the Von Struckers did. LAUREN I really hope so. REED CAITLIN Hey. Are you all right? REED I think the attack's passed. The pain's not so bad. CAITLIN I have some water. LAUREN Mom. CAITLIN I. Okay. I have something to show you. THUNDERBIRD I think maybe we should stock this place with food and water. Reed could be here awhile. BLINK Okay. I'm all for making it comfortable, but how long can we really keep this up? THUNDERBIRD Caitlin said she's on it. We're just buying her some time. ECLIPSE I'll, uh, I'll unload the rest of the metal. BLINK So what's going on? Something you want to tell me? THUNDERBIRD I was gonna ask you the same. BLINK It's funny how that question keeps coming up. THUNDERBIRD Look. I don't want to fight, but is there anything I should know about the Morlocks? You and Erg? Hey, Clarice, I'm just asking. What we're doing here does not work if we're not honest with each other. BLINK Well, what the hell are we doing here, John? We being honest about that? Are we saving people? Fighting the Inner Circle? Stopping racists? I mean, do we even have a plan past tomorrow? THUNDERBIRD No! T-That's not what this is about. BLINK Well, it should be! THUNDERBIRD Tell me the truth! Is there anything I should know about Erg? BLINK Yes, okay. Yes, there is. I helped him steal some food. I told him about some of the mutants that passed through the Underground. THUNDERBIRD You gave Erg information. You stole for him? Without telling me? Why? BLINK Because he's actually helping mutants. A hell of a lot better than we are these days, don't you think? THUNDERBIRD I can't believe you. BLINK Because you will never get it. THUNDERBIRD Oh. BLINK Down there, you don't have to hide who you are, you don't have to run. THUNDERBIRD So that's your excuse to lie to me? BLINK It's not an excuse. I did it for you. THUNDERBIRD Okay. BLINK I did it for all of us. You don't think I see how this affects you? Losing Atlanta? The Inner Circle kicking our asses? You were falling apart. You needed help, and it was the only way to get it. I'm sorry if you don't see it that way. REED I appreciate you doing all this. And it looks promising, but. CAITLIN Promising? Reed, s-she's the head of a whole research institute now. REED Even if it is the same Madeline, we don't know anything about her. CAITLIN We know enough. She may be the only person alive who knows anything about your condition. LAUREN Not only that, she knows about our family. REED I could barely make it across the city today. Her research institute is in Charlotte. It's hours away. LAUREN We can take the ambulance. REED It's too risky. CAITLIN Reed, you said it yourself, you're getting worse. The real risk is doing nothing. Hey. REED All right. REEVA Yes, everything went perfectly. We're finishing up at the computer while the others prepare for our exit. How are things on your end? ESME Better than we'd hoped. We just put the video out. We've drained over a hundred million dollars in account balances so far. And I got the baby to sleep. Not a bad day's work. REEVA I'll see you soon. We're done here. QUINN So what happens now? To me? To everyone upstairs? You made a promise. REEVA A promise I'm going to keep. You will return to the office and wait with the others. The police will be arriving shortly. I know it's cold comfort, but-but someday you will be a hero to a nation of mutants. QUINN I never even knew your real name, did I? REEVA Soon you will. Soon the whole world will know my name. RYAN I am glad you changed your mind. Thank you so much for coming. JACE Thank Ted. He talked some sense into me. WILSON Just told you the truth. RYAN We're hoping to get you on the air soon. We'll do some pre-interviews, craft the message a little bit. JACE Okay yeah, look, I'll-I'll say what I think is wrong about how Sentinel Services is run, but I'm not going after anybody by name. RYAN No need. We're taking on the system here. We're going to wake people up. And show them that the only way to deal with the mutant threat is to follow your example and start taking matters into their own hands. ASSISTANT Mr. Ryan? RYAN Just one sec. ASSISTANT Sorry, sir. It's important. Something's happened. An attack. JACE Oh, my God. RYAN Trust me, Mr. Turner. Now, more than ever, we need you. ON-SCREEN TEXT Ryan's America Messages from a Human REEVA What's our status? PHOEBE We're getting police response. REEVA Time? PHOEBE Two minutes. BANK MANAGER All of you deserve to be wiped from the face of the earth. You're terrorists. All of you. You'll all burn for this. I hope you rot in hell. You'll pay for this, all of you. REEVA Time to go. TWIST Wait a second. We're just going to let that go? ANDY Rebecca we have to leave. TWIST I'm being serious! You know, the whole reason we are here is because these people are hurting mutants, and now we're just like, whatever? POLARIS The plan is, we walk out of here. REEVA Rebecca, we are done here. TWIST Screw the plan. BANK MANAGER What have you done to? QUINN No, no, no, no, no, no. no, no, no, no! EMPLOYEES ANDY No, don't- PHOEBE Oh, my God. REEVA Rebecca! TWIST REEVA Rebecca what did you do? PHOEBE We have to go! Now! Now! SOPHIE We have to go! Now! Now!
