ANDREAS ANDY BLINK BOY CAITLIN DANNY DISPATCH ECLIPSE ERG ESME EVANGELINE FIRST_RESPONDERS FOSTER_MOM HEATHER LAUREN LILLY MAX MILES OTTO PHOEBE POLARIS REED SAGE SHOPKEEPER SOPHIE THE_FROSTS THUNDERBIRD WOMAN YOUNG_BLINK YOUNG_REED ANDREAS Picking up a custom order. Andreas Von Strucker. SHOPKEEPER I was able to do the modification you requested. REED Concerned that she just seems different. She's obsessed with that music box. CAITLIN Look, if we're really going to bring down the Inner Circle, she needs to be ready. LAUREN What is this place? ANDY We can do things that you can't imagine. LAUREN It was weird. It didn't feel like a dream. CAITLIN You saw Andy? LAUREN Yes. EVANGELINE John. It's Evangeline. Gather your people. Be ready. ERG I made a commitment to this place. My first priority is to protect the Morlocks. As I would protect you, if you chose to join us. POLARIS I'm here because I need your help. Please. ECLIPSE Oh, your race war isn't turning out like you'd hoped? POLARIS Marcos, she has the team from the Ignavus cruise ship massacre. I need to stop her. ECLIPSE What is Reeva doing with Benedict Ryan? YOUNG BLINK Seriously. You wouldn't kiss the vampire? He sparkles and he's, like, incredibly handsome- LILLY Yeah, so what? His breath would smell like blood. That's so gross. YOUNG BLINK So then make him use mouthwash. Just. MILES Who’s junk is this? YOUNG BLINK At least he's in a good mood today. MILES Mutie kids leaving crap out. FOSTER MOM Serves you right, Miles! MILES Don't even start with me, woman. LILLY He sounds pretty drunk. Maybe he'll fall asleep on the couch again. MILES All y'all brats get out here! Now! You hear me? FOSTER MOM Will you keep it down and get in the house? It's late. YOUNG BLINK He doesn't sound sleepy. Lilly, you know he's not gonna leave us alone. I've been practicing the thing. We could use it. I can't get us far but I can get us away. LILLY No, we can't. YOUNG BLINK We can. Any place is better than this. MILES Don't you give me no lip, woman. LILLY Oh god. He's coming. YOUNG BLINK LILLY What is it, like a tunnel? YOUNG BLINK It's like a door. It's okay. MILES Open up! YOUNG BLINK Lilly, we have to go. LILLY No, we can't. What about the others? He'll just take it out at them. YOUNG BLINK Lilly, come on. MILES This is my house! You open this door! YOUNG BLINK Lilly, please. I can't face him. MILES Open up. You open this damn door now. BLINK You know, the thing about bed rest is, you actually have to be in bed for it to work. THUNDERBIRD I'm fine. Strong as ever. BLINK Yeah, well, strong people need to sleep too, even if they haven't been shot. THUNDERBIRD Well, Evangeline is coming tomorrow. There's a lot of work to do. BLINK I get it. You're nervous. But you know what, Evangeline's the leader of the network, so I feel like... you know, she's gonna have a pretty good idea. THUNDERBIRD I just think if. BLINK I feel like the glorious crusade of the X-Men can wait a couple hours. Just come to bed. ECLIPSE Lorna, you cannot go back to the Inner Circle. POLARIS I have to. ECLIPSE What are you talking about? We just saw your boss- POLARIS Oh, she's not my boss. ECLIPSE Okay, well, whatever Reeva is. The grand supreme leader was just meeting America's number one mutant-hater! Look, I don't know what's going on, but I know it's too dangerous. POLARIS Too dangerous for who, Marcos? Huh? Look, Reeva's planning a terror attack. If I walk away now, who's going to stop it? ECLIPSE Evangeline. She's gathering what's left of the Underground. I'm sure she'll have you back. POLARIS Yeah, right after she dragon-fires my face for leaving. ECLIPSE If I can see past it, so can she. She knows what you mean to this fight. POLARIS I mean, even with Evangeline, it's still not enough. Reeva can take out an entire room of people in two seconds. We have to figure out what she's planning. I helped start this. I have to end it. ECLIPSE All right. Be careful. EVANGELINE If what you say is true, if Polaris really is on our side again there may be some hope. She is all we have. We need to protect her. No one can say or do anything that might expose her. CAITLIN What if we told Andy what she's doing? EVANGELINE You'd put him in danger. Along with all of you. The only reason you're still breathing is because Reeva thinks Andy and Polaris are loyal and wants to keep them that way. LAUREN How do we stop them? EVANGELINE We'll meet with the Underground leaders from the rest of the country tomorrow to see who they can send. REED Most of the Underground stations around here have gone dark. THUNDERBIRD And the ones still standing don't have many mutants with fighting abilities. EVANGELINE It doesn't matter. We need anyone. And not just from the Underground. You'll need to bring the Morlocks to this meeting. BLINK Yeah, right. I mean, Erg made it pretty clear that he's not gonna fight our war. EVANGELINE Erg and I have a history. I saved his life a long time ago in Dallas. He'll come. POLARIS Bravo. MAX Oh, look who's here. You come down to watch? POLARIS You're not the only ones around here who train. Wow. I thought you three were doing some big secret attack. MAX It's a special assignment from Reeva. HEATHER You're not supposed to talk about it. MAX Yeah, it's, uh, top secret. POLARIS Well, guess who has green hair and is good at keeping secrets. MAX Interesting. HEATHER Max. MAX We'll talk about it later. POLARIS CAITLIN REED 25. New record. CAITLIN Was it? I wasn't counting. How's it going? REED All I can say is I hope Evangeline can convince the Underground in the rest of the country to help. CAITLIN I've been thinking about what Marcos saw. About Benedict Ryan. REED Well, Lorna's getting what she can. CAITLIN And it's not enough. Reeva is keeping this from her own people. If we're going to figure out what's going on, we have to do more. REED Which would be what, exactly? CAITLIN What about my brother? REED What? CAITLIN Benedict Ryan is openly supporting the Purifiers now. Danny's firm works with Homeland Security. They-they keep tabs on all the extremist groups- Purifiers included. If they could tell us- REED You can't just get on the phone to Danny. Need I remind you, that half of his family are fugitives. CAITLIN Yeah, fugitives the world thinks are dead. REED Well, the government will be monitoring his calls for the rest of his life. CAITLIN Then we go in person. First thing tomorrow. REED And what about the summit? CAITLIN You can handle the summit, right? Reed, this can't wait. We need to know what our son is involved in. REED So, you're gonna get in the car alone and drive to Atlanta? LAUREN She's not going alone. I'm coming too. Mom is right. Uncle Danny helped us when you were in jail. REED And you nearly got killed by Purifiers. LAUREN Which is more of a reason for him to help us now. REED Or more of a reason to steer clear. Your brother has a habit of looking out for number one. CAITLIN Danny and I've had our issues. But I know him. He won't be able to look us in the eye and say no. REED Okay. LAUREN Okay. Two sides. LAUREN Das erhoffte. LAUREN Durch dich. Durch dich. LAUREN Lebt unser. LAUREN Vermächtnis weiter. ANDREAS If you've found this, the miracle we hoped for may still be within reach. LAUREN Wenn sie das gefunden haben ist das erhoffte. ANDREAS My sister and I wanted to free our people from bondage. You must succeed where we failed. Fenris has two sides. The light and the darkness. Always in conflict. As my sister and I battled, so you must battle. Only when you know each other's strength and embrace your opposing forces will you be whole. ANDY What are you doing here? LAUREN I'm here to tell you that you're going down a dark path. You need to stop now, before it's too late. ANDY You don't know anything about what I need. LAUREN I know a lot more than you think. About us. About Fenris. ANDY So what? You're going to try to stop me? I warned you, Lauren. LAUREN No, I'm warning you. I'm stronger now. ANDY So, bring it on. ANDY Oh. ESME Andy, what happened? ANDY It was Lauren. ANDY Lauren and I have these dreams together. We're both there. We can talk. SOPHIE Hmm. A lot more than talk, apparently. PHOEBE How long has this been going on? ANDY Like a few months. ESME Months? And you didn't mention anything? ANDY Well, it wasn't like this before. ESME ANDY Lauren's stronger. She said something about our family, our powers, or. ESME Okay, uh, Andy, if you're getting attacked in your dreams, and in our training room no less, it's not safe to have Lauren out there. I think it might be time for you to reach out to her. ANDY You mean, bring her here? I tried. ESME Well, we can help with you that. If you'll let us. ANDY What do you mean? SOPHIE Your mind is connected to Lauren's. PHOEBE We can reach her through you. ANDY I don't know. Mm, what if Lauren found out. ESME Listen. We know a thing or three about psychic connections between siblings. Just, um, think about it. Get some rest. ANDY SOPHIE "Think about it?" What are you, a camp counselor? PHOEBE The sister's getting bolder. We can't afford to have her out there. ESME I'm aware of that. But this is delicate. Do you want to tell Reeva that we pushed Andy away? Because I sure as hell don't. And it's not just that. Think about the power we could have if we bring Lauren over. Especially if she's getting stronger. SOPHIE She has to join us. PHOEBE Or she has to die. ESME ECLIPSE Oh, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this is not a place where good stuff. BLINK Evangeline said that Erg's just gonna come and meet us here? THUNDERBIRD Saves us a trip to the sewers. BLINK Erg's whole thing is he doesn't come out of the tunnels. Now all of a sudden he's like, "bring on the sunshine?" THUNDERBIRD Well, Evangeline saved his life. He owes her. BLINK Owes her what? Exposing his people to a war he hates? THUNDERBIRD Well, we are saving mutants. All right. Isn't it possible she just talked some sense into him? BLINK Possible? Sure. But not likely. ECLIPSE Okay, well for now, all we know is that he's agreed to show up for a meeting. And he is making us late. THUNDERBIRD He's here. Erg. Thanks for coming. ERG Where are we going? ECLIPSE Uh, Evangeline is meeting other leaders of the Underground at a safe location. We're here to take you there. ERG Then let's go. ECLIPSE Okay. BLINK Look at us. Best friends. ECLIPSE We're on our way. REED So he will help? ECLIPSE Well, he's coming. What about the other stations? REED Richmond. Cleveland. A handful from Newark are gonna be there. ECLIPSE And that's all? REED Yeah, that's it for now. At this point, it's all riding on this meeting. ECLIPSE Damn it. All right. Thanks. REED REED No no no. God, no. LAUREN I got to say, I like you as a brunette. CAITLIN Oh. I have spent too many Sundays with this crowd. I didn't want anyone to recognize me. LAUREN You really think Uncle Danny's gonna be here? CAITLIN My brother hasn't missed church since I was a 14-year-old wild child. Though, I'm pretty sure he used to go just to make me look bad. LAUREN I wish I knew you then. CAITLIN Oh, when I was fun. LAUREN Is that him? He looks different. CAITLIN Yeah. All right. Stay here. Keep out of sight. DANNY Yeah well, you know, we're always hoping to get people involved. So, you know, feel free to check it out. If you're a golfer, too, we have this a fundraiser in June that's always a lot of fun, so think about that. WOMAN Thank you, Danny. DANNY All right. CAITLIN Hey, Danny. DANNY Oh my god. CAITLIN Okay, calm down. DANNY I thought you wer CAITLIN Don’t make a scene. DANNY We-we had a funeral and everything. They told me you were all dead. CAITLIN Not yet. Danny, we need your help. BLINK I know you're not happy about this, but thank you for helping us. ERG Evangeline didn't leave me much of a choice. ECLIPSE It's not like she put a gun to your head. She saved your life in Dallas. ERG Is that what she told you? ECLIPSE Yeah. ERG BLINK What. Is that not true? ERG It's true enough. But she left out some of the story. After the 7/15 disaster, Evangeline and I founded the Underground together. Yeah. I moved people through the tunnels; she organized the surface. Working together to protect our people. THUNDERBIRD Evangeline never told me that. ERG Nah. She wouldn't. BLINK Well, what happened? ERG We were betrayed by a human "ally" while moving mutants over the border. I watched them get slaughtered, trying to help them, until Evangeline pulled me away. After, I argued that we could no longer trust the humans. That we needed our own communities. But she disagreed. I left. The Morlocks and the Mutant Underground went our separate ways. THUNDERBIRD I mean, you're coming to the meeting. You must believe something. ERG Don't tell me what I believe. Make no mistake Evangeline's invitation was a threat. BLINK Threat? What did she threaten you with? ERG She knows where all our tunnels are. She made it clear that we could join you or she would expose us. BLINK Come on. She wouldn't really do that, would she? She wouldn't. Man, that's messed up. THUNDERBIRD Look, I understand you're angry. But this is all of our fight now. ERG This fight's a suicide mission. I want no part of it. I'm only here to protect my people. MILES Clarice! Lilly! Where the hell are they? These little freaks can't just disappear. LILLY Clarice, we got to go back. YOUNG BLINK What are you talking about? MILES These freaks. LILLY We can't just leave Pete and Freddy there. We have to go back. YOUNG BLINK Do you know what he'll do to us? LILLY I know what he'll do to them because we left. I can't let that happen. I have to stop him. YOUNG BLINK You can't. Not when he's this mad. LILLY He's a bully and a coward. We have to stand up to him. YOUNG BLINK Lilly, please. LILLY Just get me inside there, Clarice. I can face him. Please. YOUNG BLINK DANNY Despite the circumstances, a lot of people came. We had a nice service up at the church and then we all walked down here to pay our respects. You would've loved it, we played your favorite Nocturne. CAITLIN That wasn't my favorite. That was Mom's. She made me practice it on the piano until I hated it. DANNY Oh, you're gonna bust me on the details of your funeral that you didn't even bother to show up for? CAITLIN I didn't tell you to protect you. DANNY I know. CAITLIN I-I wanted to, but I-I couldn't. DANNY So, why you telling me now, then? LAUREN Uncle Danny... there's a situation. We need your help. DANNY You need my help? What can I do? LAUREN Your law firm does work for Homeland Security, right? DANNY Yes, but I don't have any. LAUREN They monitor extremist groups. We have information on a terrorist attack that's coming. DANNY You want me to talk to Homeland Security for you? The last time I helped you, I nearly lost everything. I almost got caught. CAITLIN We just want you to see what you can find out. DANNY Oh my God. CAITLIN Danny, thousands of lives are at stake. DANNY Do you watch the news? Attacks are happening all the time. Why should we get involved? CAITLIN We're already involved. LAUREN Andy's one of the terrorists. ESME We spoke to Reeva. She needs to know the second this is done. MAX We got it. SOPHIE The time window for this is small. You know the targets. Just them. No more, no less. No mistakes. Nice and clean. HEATHER We don't make mistakes. PHOEBE Hmm. Don't get cocky. Remember, a week ago you were all in prison. MAX Yeah, and the first thing we did when we got out is kill the guy that put us there. Nice and clean. HEATHER The chopper's waiting. POLARIS Ah. Off to the big mystery job. MAX That's right. POLARIS Need any backup? MAX I think we can handle it. POLARIS Well, what if I have to come to your rescue? MAX Oh. There'll be no need for that. We're just gonna go slay a dragon. POLARIS ECLIPSE Lorna? What's going on? I thought we said no calls. POLARIS We did. But there's no time. Reeva's new recruits. I think she just sent them to kill Evangeline. ECLIPSE What? Are you sure? POLARIS All I know is that Max made a crack about slaying a dragon. I mean, who else do you know that breathes smoke and has hands that turn into talons? ECLIPSE When? POLARIS They just left. In a helicopter. I got to go. ECLIPSE Yeah. Can we call Evangeline? THUNDERBIRD No. She's with the upper leadership. They're radio silent. BLINK What's going on? ECLIPSE The Inner Circle just sent a hit team in a helicopter to the meeting. THUNDERBIRD We got to get there first. Hang on. ANDY Hey, I've been looking for you. POLARIS I skipped training. It's been a zoo down there. ANDY You, uh, okay? Am I interrupting something? POLARIS No. No, not at all. What's-what's going on? ANDY Um, well, it's it's about Lauren. Um, the Frosts want me to reach out to her and get her to come here. You know, and join us. POLARIS Okay, that doesn't seem like Lauren. ANDY Yeah, I know. But they said there's ways that they can help. Like, with their powers. I guess I was just wondering if, um, if you would try something like that. If you could get Marcos to come here. POLARIS Marcos would hate it here. And he's made it very clear that he does not believe in what we're doing. ANDY Yeah, but what if you could make him believe. Be together. POLARIS I don't think it's possible to make someone truly believe. Not even for the Frosts. ANDY ANDREAS Everything becomes and recurs eternally. Escape is impossible. The power will rise in our family line once again. We were meant to dominate. BOY No! No, no, don't! ANDREAS And so we shall. YOUNG REED ANDREAS That will to power lives in us. If you are reading this, you know it in yourself. You have felt it there. Do not fear it nor hide from it, because that is who you are. OTTO Reed? Reed! What are you doing? This is not for you. You never touch that, boy. You stay away from it. ANDREAS Embrace the power. You are Von Strucker. It is your destiny. REED POLARIS What's your take on the new recruits? SAGE Impressive. And we don't even know their full potential yet. POLARIS Any news yet on how their mysterious little mission went? SAGE I don't know anything about it. Neither should you. POLARIS Just asking. ESME Lorna, just the person I was looking for. I heard you had a chat with Andy. POLARIS He wanted some advice. ESME About his sister. POLARIS She came up. ESME Mmm. And what wisdom did you share with him, exactly? POLARIS Just the truth. It's hard enough in here on people who actually believe in what we're doing. ESME I don't think you understand the situation here, Lorna. With Reeva you're either with her or against her. That goes for Lauren and that goes for you. POLARIS That a threat? ESME Just the truth. Lorna, I care about your little girl. You know that. And I want her to grow up and know her mother someday. Please, stay out of things that don't concern you. DISPATCH THUNDERBIRD Oh my god. FIRST RESPONDERS THUNDERBIRD We got to get down there. ECLIPSE John. John, John, stop. Stop, stop. THUNDERBIRD Evangeline might still be it's them in there! ECLIPSE Yeah, too late. It's too late. BLINK They're pulling bodies out of that building, John. Can you hear any of our people? Anything? THUNDERBIRD BLINK God. I'm so sorry. ERG We need to go. This is over. THUNDERBIRD It can't be over. ECLIPSE That was the entire national leadership of the Underground, John. THUNDERBIRD We still have stations. With the help of your people. ERG My people? My people will have nothing to do with this. THUNDERBIRD Y-You're gonna turn your back? ERG This is not our fight. ECLIPSE You saw what just happened. ERG I did and I will not let the same thing happen to the Morlocks. ECLIPSE Oh, come on! THUNDERBIRD Evangeline saved my life and she saved yours, you're just gonna stand around while the Inner Circle murders people? BLINK Let's just take a breath. Okay, we are all on the same side here. ERG I'm afraid we're not, Blink. THUNDERBIRD Her name is Clarice! All right, you bet your ass we're not on the same side. While you're down there, hiding in the sewers, we're up here fighting in the real world. ERG The real world? You mean where we're feared a-and hated? Where Blink, the woman you claim to love has to hide who she is? THUNDERBIRD Ah, no! ERG BLINK Don't! ERG ECLIPSE You son of a bitch! You want to lose your other eye? Huh? BLINK Stop! Both of you. One war's enough. THUNDERBIRD LAUREN We're meeting Uncle Danny here? CAITLIN I don't know, it was the safest place we could think of. LAUREN Kind of random. CAITLIN Well, in high school, this used to be the favorite make out spot because it was easy to see if the cops were coming. LAUREN Who did you make out with? CAITLIN I don't kiss and tell. LAUREN Mmm. Fine. And how many times did you kiss and not tell? Five? CAITLIN Hmm. LAUREN Ten? CAITLIN LAUREN 15? Seriously? CAITLIN Okay, look. LAUREN Wow. Who are you and what have you done with my mom? CAITLIN LAUREN So you weren't always good then? CAITLIN No. Far from it. LAUREN CAITLIN Why do you ask? LAUREN I had a dream with Andy last night. We got into a fight. CAITLIN He was attacking you? LAUREN Actually, I attacked him. And I won. I just don't know how I feel about it. CAITLIN Oh, honey I can't say that makes me happy, but you've been given this power and it's up to you to decide what to do with it. I know you'll do what's right. That's Danny. Let's go. CAITLIN Thank you for coming, Danny. I know this was a huge risk. DANNY No, I don't think you do. This-this thing you asked me to look into, it is so much bigger than you can imagine. CAITLIN Bigger, how? I know this is hard. I-I wouldn't have come to you if we had another choice. You're the only person who can help us. The-the only one we can trust. DANNY You know what? I can't do this. CAITLIN What is it? DANNY LAUREN What is that? CAITLIN Oh my god. DANNY Listen. They're gonna be here soon. CAITLIN Lauren, let's go. DANNY I-I tried to ask around quietly but I-I kicked a hornet's nest. CAITLIN Danny, how could you? DANNY Cait. Cait! They knew. They knew everything! CAITLIN DANNY Look, I'm so sorry. I. They didn't give me a choice. I was supposed to capture everything I could on the wire. CAITLIN Who did you talk to? DANNY It was a friend of mine at Homeland. I asked if they had anything on Benedict Ryan. CAITLIN We need to go. DANNY No, listen. Listen, listen, there's something you need to know. Ryan is not just a talking head, all right? He's secretly running the Purifiers. LAUREN What did they say about the Inner Circle? Reeva Payge? DANNY I don't know. But they had me in cuffs 20 minutes after I brought her up. CAITLIN They have people in the government? DANNY Homeland Security's compromised. Attorney General's office. I don't know, maybe even Congress... Oh God. It's too late. LAUREN No, it's not. Get in the car. CAITLIN Lauren! SOPHIE Andy? Can we talk to you? ANDY I-Is there something wrong with Lauren? ESME Why, did you feel something? ANDY Yeah, my heart is beating out of my chest and I I mean, I'm sweating, I never sweat. SOPHIE You know we monitor Sentinel Services activity. Well there was an incident. A few minutes ago. Your mom and sister. ANDY Are they okay? ESME It's sounds like they got away. PHOEBE But it was a very close call. ANDY ESME They're fine, Andy. But Lauren's in danger. This is why you should let us help you reach out to her. ANDY Yeah, I-I've been thinking about that and, um If she's going to be here, she should at least believe in what we're doing. I mean, manipulating her is not. ESME Manipulating? Who said anything about manipulating? Andy, we only want to help your family. PHOEBE Your mother and sister almost got themselves killed today. And your father. ANDY What about my father? SOPHIE We did some investigating. Turns out, there's something wrong with his powers. ANDY He said he had his medicine. SOPHIE And when it runs out? Or stops working? ESME Andy, we have access to the best doctors. He'd have anything he needed here. ANDY M-My parents are-are. SOPHIE If your sister joins us your parents won't be far behind. ESME Andy, you can save Lauren. Your family. You can save them all. BLINK John, we should roll. THUNDERBIRD Ow. What the hell was that? BLINK Erg redirects the force of attacks used against him. So, you basically punched yourself. Can't say you didn't deserve it. THUNDERBIRD I'm-I'm tired of his excuses. BLINK I know I know how hard it must be losing Evangeline. But Erg is just trying to protect the people he cares about. Same as you. THUNDERBIRD He's a coward. He's running from the fight, Clarice. BLINK And that's what this is about? Bravery? You know who the bravest person I ever knew was? My foster sister Lilly. We lived with this bastard who-who took us in for the extra 50 bucks a week you get for taking care of a kid with an X-Gene. And he used to beat the crap out of us. THUNDERBIRD You never told me that. BLINK I'm telling you now. The night that we escaped she decided to go back for the other kids. Because someone had to stand up to him. THUNDERBIRD What happened? BLINK She was just a little kid. He had a hundred pounds on her. He knocked her down she hit her head on the side of a table and broke her neck. MILES Get out of my way! FOSTER MOM What did you do, Miles? BLINK She was dead before the ambulance got there. She was my best friend, she was my sister. And I lost her. Running into a battle you know you're gonna lose isn't noble or brave. It's selfish. THUNDERBIRD Clarice. BLINK And that's what you're doing. You ran off, you got taken by the Purifiers. We barely have you back and now you're just off to the next impossible battle. THUNDERBIRD Clarice, please, I can't just walk away from this. I can't walk away and let everything we've built be destroyed. BLINK I know. And I love you too much to watch you kill yourself. So there we are. THUNDERBIRD What are you saying? BLINK I'm saying goodbye. CAITLIN You should try to get some sleep. We still got a long way to go. LAUREN I tried. I don't think I can. CAITLIN You're worried you're gonna have another dream. LAUREN It's not just that. What I did when Sentinel Services showed up if you hadn't stopped me. CAITLIN You did what you had to do. If you hadn't, we'd be in prison or worse. LAUREN I know but but I wasn't myself anymore. It was so strange. CAITLIN You know what I saw? A powerful woman with a very special gift. A gift for chopping up police cars. LAUREN You think that's a good thing? CAITLIN Uh, I mean you were protecting your family. I'm proud of you, Lauren. And, um, maybe we should just keep the whole shootout with the cops thing between us, you know? These days, uh, stress is bad for your dad. POLARIS What happened? ECLIPSE Well, we, uh, we were too late. I'm sorry. I know Evangeline meant a lot to you. POLARIS No, I you know I couldn't stand her, actually. ECLIPSE POLARIS Never liked lawyers or dragons. But she saved me when no one else would. And I paid her back by joining up with the people who killed her. God. ECLIPSE You know, for what it's worth. She knew you were on our side. She thought it was the only reason we might win. POLARIS Look, there's something you should know. ECLIPSE Yeah. POLARIS Um, Reeva. The Frosts. They want Lauren. If they got both of them, Marcos. I don't want to even think about what they could do. ECLIPSE We can't let that happen. POLARIS For so long, all that kept me going is the thought that someday, somehow. You, me, and Dawn could all be together. And now I just feel like it's slipping further and further away from me. ECLIPSE No. We'll, uh we'll get there. POLARIS Well, I should go before they notice I'm gone. ECLIPSE Yeah. Stay safe. POLARIS You too. ERG You'll get used to it. BLINK Sure about that? It tastes like cornflakes and glue. ERG BLINK Sorry. I'm not here for the cuisine. Thank you for taking me in. ERG You made a brave choice today. BLINK Doesn't feel that way. ERG You gave up your life, everything you know, a man you love all for what you believe. I can't imagine anything braver than that. BLINK Didn't think that bravery would feel this crappy. ERG Look around. This this is your community now. You brought your gifts and now every single one of these people is safer because you're one of us now. Welcome home, Blink. CAITLIN You're sure you're feeling okay? REED I'm fine. Why do you ask? CAITLIN I just could've sworn there was more of this serum when we left. REED I'm fine. Honestly. I'm more worried about you guys. I don't understand how you were quite able to escape the Sentinel Services. I mean, a full ambush and you were able to just drive away? LAUREN We got lucky. CAITLIN It was close, but Danny warned us in time. He's got friends in high places. Hopefully, they can help. ESME Are you ready? ANDY Yeah, I think so. SOPHIE Good. Just relax. THE FROSTS and think of Lauren.
