You think I'm a monster for trying to kill him. You think you're better than me. I'm just doing what has to be done. REED You've been sharing dreams with Andy for months and now you're afraid to sleep. LAUREN It's like he's probing my mind. Searching for my weaknesses. LAUREN I'm never joining the Inner Circle. LAUREN ANDY Something's changed. I can't feel her anymore. LAUREN People need help. I can't just sit here and watch them suffer. I know it's dangerous, but I can't use the serum as a crutch. REEVA All we asked for was your loyalty and you betrayed us. SAGE Reeva, I didn't do this. REEVA REEVA I have a job for your Purifiers. This is an essential part of our plan. Get it done. ECLIPSE The Purifiers are hitting the Morlocks. Clarice needs our help evacuating. ECLIPSE Over here, let's go! Let's go, let's go! THUNDERBIRD I'm not leaving without Clarice! ECLIPSE Caitlin, take John's car, he's staying. We'll meet you at home. CAITLIN Come on, try to use your powers. LAUREN I can't reach them. THUNDERBIRD Clarice. Come on. No! THUNDERBIRD Okay, what's wrong? BLINK Nothing. THUNDERBIRD Clarice, come on. BLINK It's just, my whole life, I've been running. From myself, from everything, really. And now I'm here with you, and I just feel. I don't know, I just feel. THUNDERBIRD Happy. BLINK Yeah. But sometimes I feel like I don't deserve to be. THUNDERBIRD Why wouldn't you deserve to be happy? BLINK I've made a lot of really bad decisions in my life, and never mind. I don't want to talk about it. THUNDERBIRD No. No, come on. Tell me. BLINK Well, you know, years ago, when I got mixed up with the, um with the Brotherhood, you know, I really hated myself. God, I felt so trapped. I would lie there at night, and open a portal to the stars, and just wish that I was somewhere, anywhere else. THUNDERBIRD Show me. BLINK Okay. THUNDERBIRD BLINK You know, when things got really bad, I used to think about portal-ing to nowhere, and just going. Being everywhere. In the spaces between everything. THUNDERBIRD Clarice, believe me, nobody in the Underground is perfect. I mean, most of us came here because we needed redemption. That's why, even now, I think there is still hope for Lorna, and Andy. For all of us. BLINK Are you saying that I should stay here? With the rest of the broken toys? THUNDERBIRD Always. CAITLIN We need to get off the road. CAITLIN Everybody out, quickly. We need to get us someplace safer. I'm afraid this is the end of the line. We have to split up. WORRIED MORLOCK What? But, where do we go? CAITLIN As far as you can from the city. Stay off the main roads. Avoid traffic cameras, and don't trust humans. LAUREN Are you crazy? They can't. CAITLIN We can't stay on the road in this car any longer. Look, we have to scatter or we're all gonna get caught. Okay? Run! Go! Lauren! POLICE OFFICERS POLICE OFFICER We'll take them. You go that way. THUNDERBIRD This is all your fault. This is your fault! You left her down there. ERG I tried. I tried to bring- THUNDERBIRD She shouldn't have been down there in the first place! ERG She chose to join us. I gave her a place where she belonged. Blink was- THUNDERBIRD Stop calling her Blink! ERG That's the name she chose! THUNDERBIRD ERG I made mistakes. But I didn't lure her down into the tunnels. You drove her to us. Are you gonna hit me? Hit me. It's not gonna change anything. THUNDERBIRD ERG THUNDERBIRD Come on! Do it! ERG I'm sorry. THUNDERBIRD REEVA The moment we've been waiting for has finally arrived. Our actions in the next 24 hours will determine the course of mutant history. Our uprising has been every bit as successful as we'd hoped. And now it is perfectly clear to everyone, mutants and humans alike, that there is only one solution. Two nations, divided. Ours and theirs. We have worked hard. And one last push will take us to our goal. We must destroy the institutions of a nation that hates us. POLARIS Hang on. We're just gonna destroy government buildings? Have you seen the security out there? THE FROSTS Don't worry. We have our ways. REEVA Tonight, you'll be receiving your assignments. Until then, prepare yourselves. ANDY This is crazy. It's actually happening. POLARIS Hard to believe. ANDY Yeah. REED Stay back here, with the others. Stay away from the windows. This place is safe, but we can't take any chances. ECLIPSE Let's get them settled back there and head back out, I'm worried about John. Reed! It's Lorna. Hey, I'm here with Reed. Are you okay? POLARIS Yeah, for now. I can't talk long. ECLIPSE Oh, I was so worried you got caught. POLARIS Yeah, I almost was. The Frosts found out that somebody was in the computers, they think it was Sage. Reeva killed her. REED What? ECLIPSE Things are spiraling out of control. The Purifiers just hit the Morlock tunnels. It was a massacre. You've gotta get out of there. POLARIS I know, but Reeva's plan is happening tomorrow. I'm gonna try to find out what I can before I go. ECLIPSE All right, just-just come. We'll be ready. REED Lorna, what about Andy? POLARIS I-I'm not sure. REED This is our last chance, if he stays with her, then. POLARIS I know, but he believes in what Reeva's doing. And if I can't convince him, th--then it's over. For all of us. REED You have to try. Lorna, tell him the truth. Please, Lorna. Bring my son home. PEOPLE POLICE RADIO officers in pursuit. Available units proceed to 23rd and Union. POLICE OFFICER Copy that, we're on our way. WILSON Most of the force is out chasing down the muties who escaped from the tunnels. I showed 'em my badge, told 'em what we knew. Said we wanted to help out. I figure we, uh, search the streets around here for stragglers. JACE Yeah, I don't, uh, I don't know about that. WILSON What do you mean? Those sons of bitches killed three good men. We gotta finish what we started. JACE Yeah, I just. WILSON Guys, will you give us a minute? Hey, buddy. You all right? JACE When we busted into that Morlock tunnel, I was expecting to see a terrorist camp. That's what Ryan told me was there. I think there were kids down there, man. WILSON Jace, listen, ah this may sound harsh, but if there were kids down there? They're gonna grow up to be the same monsters that killed our friends. JACE How can y-How can you say that? You don't know that. You don't know that. WILSON All right, you know, um. You have done more than enough for the day. Why don't you head back to your hotel and clear your head? All right? We got this. Let's head out. ANDY Hey. I heard you were coming on the scout tonight. POLARIS Yeah. ANDY I don't know, I'm just curious, why? You think I need babysitting or something? POLARIS No. Not at all. ANDY All right, 'cause I can handle myself. POLARIS Yeah, I know. No, I, I just want to see what we're doing. Like you said, it's been a long time coming. ANDY All right, just making sure. POLARIS A-Andy? Um, you know when we do this, it's not gonna be like a video game, right? When everything goes down, we're gonna be dropping real buildings with real people inside. ANDY Yeah, I mean, we have to make sacrifices sometimes. You taught me that. POLARIS I did? ANDY Yeah. When you ripped that plane out of the sky and saved us all. That's the whole reason I joined the Inner Circle. POLARIS Andy, look, uh. You know that wasn't easy, right? You do something like that. Those scars stay with you. ANDY I guess I'll have a few scars, then. POLARIS ECLIPSE He was right here. What the hell is he doing? I gotta go talk to him. REED I hope you fare better than that wall. ECLIPSE Keep an eye on the street, all right? It's a miracle the cops haven't found him yet. REED Yeah. THUNDERBIRD ECLIPSE John? Uh, what are you doing? THUNDERBIRD Can't leave her. ECLIPSE Who? Clarice? What happened? Where. THUNDERBIRD She got shot. ECLIPSE Oh my God. Is she, uh? THUNDERBIRD I don't know. She fell. She fell through a portal and she vanished. I saw it happen. I saw her. I saw her fall. ECLIPSE Look, I'm sorry, uh, John, but you just said she's, uh, she's not here. THUNDERBIRD You don't understand. I can still feel her. WILSON Sir. I'm gonna need you to turn around. Real slow. You seem awful worried about my pals over there. You want to tell me why? REED I saw men with assault rifles outside and I was concerned. WILSON That right? So you're out here, walking around, checking out dumpsters? REED That's not a crime, is it? I work in the area, all right? There were sirens. Heard there was a possible mutant incident and I came outside to make sure it was safe. WILSON All right. REED WILSON All right, sir, yeah, just, uh just looked a little odd. REED Thank you. WILSON REED Don't move! Don't you make a sound. WILSON You looking for your mutie friends, huh? We're not gonna stop till we wipe you all out! REED Shut up! Shut up! WILSON ECLIPSE This is crazy. Look, you think she's in that wall? THUNDERBIRD I'm not leaving her! REED Guys! We need to go, now! There's Purifiers out on the street! THUNDERBIRD ECLIPSE Look, you heard him! THUNDERBIRD REED John! THUNDERBIRD Hey. REED Hey! ECLIPSE THUNDERBIRD Ah! ECLIPSE The Purifiers are here, the cops aren't far behind. Listen to me! What would Clarice want you to do? Now, you know the answer. Now come on. REED Go, go, go! THUNDERBIRD CAITLIN Looks like it's empty. Maybe we can find a phone inside. LAUREN The police are hunting down the Morlocks, we need to go back for them. CAITLIN Look, we have passed that point. We just need to be thankful that we got out of there. LAUREN Did you know? CAITLIN Know what? LAUREN That if we split up, they'd slow the cops down. Help us escape. CAITLIN I knew that if we stayed on the road, we were all gonna get caught. Cars with that many bullet holes are pretty easy to find. There was no way we were all gonna escape. LAUREN They're dying out there. CAITLIN There's a good chance they're gonna track us down, too. Look, I hate all of this. It breaks my heart. But people are depending on us. We have to get through this. Now, please, just get inside. ECLIPSE Checked the whole building. No sign of Lauren or Caitlin. REED Look, they're not answering their phones. Something's wrong. We gotta get out there and find them. BLINK Here. REED John? John, we have some idea of the route that Caitlin and Lauren took. If you could track them. THUNDERBIRD I can't. REED I can't imagine what you're going through, but if there is any way. THUNDERBIRD I-I can't track. I want to help you find your family, all right? But every time I try, I just see Clarice. REED We have got to find them, we gotta do something- ECLIPSE Hey, hey, take it, take it easy, Reed. Whoa, whoa. POLARIS So where exactly are we going? ESME The sewage tunnel system underneath D.C. There's an entrance in the train yard near here. ANDY Train yard. Cool. I always had a thing for trains. You know, if you lined up every railroad track in America it would wrap around the world five times? POLARIS What are you, Wiki-Andy? ANDY There was this kid in my physics class. Freshman year. H-He didn't have a lot of friends, he was kind of weird. But he was super into trains. So I used to sit with him at lunch, and he'd teach me all about them. ESME We're here. SOPHIE Ugh. ESME Told you we should've worn flats. SOPHIE Ugh. SOPHIE As if. PHOEBE As if. REEVA This tunnel system will give us access to the city. ANDY If these tunnels were always here, why haven't we been down here before? REEVA Everything in its time. BULK PHOEBE Have fun down there. SOPHIE Have fun down there. POLARIS So what exactly are we doing here, besides catching typhoid? REEVA One of the tunnels shares a wall with the D.C. Sentinel Services headquarters. Andrew's gonna get us through the wall with a strike team. Once the Sentinel Services is neutralized, we will be unstoppable. ANDY Neutralized? You mean, I'm going in there, too? To, like, kill them? REEVA Is that a problem? ANDY No, of course not. REEVA Excellent. CAITLIN All this equipment, and not a single landline. LAUREN Even if we found something, I highly doubt this place has paid their phone bill in a while. CAITLIN If we can find something, we might be able to splice into an open wire. Anything. LAUREN The cops figured out we're in here. CAITLIN It was just a matter of time. LAUREN Maybe we can run. CAITLIN We're not gonna outrun dogs and a helicopter. Your powers. Is there anything? LAUREN I can't feel them, I'm sorry. CAITLIN That's okay. We'll figure something else out. Let's see if we can find anything else to use as weapons. LAUREN What are we gonna do, throw pipes at them? CAITLIN If we surrender, everything we fought for, everything we've lost will be for nothing. We've come too far to give up now. POLICE DISPATCH 292-13. REED Anything on the scanner about Caitlin and Lauren? THUNDERBIRD Not yet. ECLIPSE Can I get a hit of that? Thanks. So, your powers. They're back. REED Yeah, I stopped taking the medicine. Gotta learn to control this thing. It's always come and gone with stress. When you first got your abilities, did you know what they were for? I mean, why you had them? ECLIPSE I wasn't really having a lot of philosophical discussions. I was busy finding a place to sleep. REED But you must have thought about it. ECLIPSE My father told me that the Devil gave me my powers. REED ECLIPSE As much as I hated the man, on some level I think I agreed. I was in a dark place. Reed, what's going on? Did something happen? THUNDERBIRD Hey, listen up. POLICE DISPATCH I repeat, all units be advised. 10-80M in progress. Canine Unit picked up two suspects hiding out in a water treatment facility at 211 Vanguard Avenue. Sentinel Services inbound. ECLIPSE That's close to where we rescued the Morlocks. You think- REED I think we should assume the worst. ECLIPSE You good? REED Yeah. ECLIPSE All right, Reed and I will go. Keep an eye on the scanner, let me know if anything changes. THUNDERBIRD I should come. ECLIPSE John, you know you're in no position to do anything right now. We got this, brother. ESME The others will be back once Reeva gives them their assignments. You two should get some rest before tomorrow's festivities. ANDY Yeah, uh, festivities, yeah. Goodnight. POLARIS Hey, Esme. What about you? ESME What about me? POLARIS I'm taking out the communications grid. Andy's hitting Sentinel Services. What are you doing? ESME Eh, we're really not supposed to get into that. POLARIS Come on. Secret's out tomorrow, anyway. ESME Let me put it this way. Once the situation gets bad enough, it's our job is to help people understand that a mutant homeland is the answer. POLARIS You mean force people to understand. You really okay with that? ESME We're willing to do what's necessary. POLARIS We? No, I'm not talking about your sisters, I'm talking about you. Look, I'm just asking you, seriously, do you really think that we can mind-control our way to a mutant homeland? Don't we want people to believe? ESME Maybe someday. We won you over. There might be hope for the world. Goodnight, Lorna. SENTINEL SERVICES LAUREN They're coming in. CAITLIN No, they're not. Get down! SENTINEL SERVICES OFFICER Take cover. Pull back! Open fire! Hold your fire, hold your fire! CAITLIN They've gotta call for reinforcements. And I've only got three bullets left. Ah, come on. We need a plan. LAUREN We're trapped. There's no way. CAITLIN Yes, there is. When they come back, if I can create a big enough distraction to draw them to the front, then you can get out the loading door and run off before they can catch you. LAUREN No. No, I'm not leaving you. CAITLIN You don't have a choice. I-I can't hold them off. If you can run- LAUREN No, I'm not running, Mom. CAITLIN Hey, you have powers. Maybe you can't control them right now, but they will come back. LAUREN No, please don't leave me. Mom, no, please, please. CAITLIN Hey, Lauren, just listen to me. Please. You are going to fight for all the mutants. For Andy. You can change the destiny of the whole von Strucker family. LAUREN You're part of that family! I'm not leaving you! CAITLIN LAUREN CAITLIN Your powers, they're back? LAUREN I guess so. We can do this. CAITLIN Yeah. LAUREN Together. THEORIST I've done the research, okay? Stores near sewer entry points report twice as many robberies. And they're taking food, supplies. The point is, people say there's no such thing as Morlocks, but that's because they're not looking. They refuse to see, the truth is there. Just take a look at this security footage from right here in D.C. under our very noses! SENTINEL SERVICES ECLIPSE Well, it looks like we found them. How the hell do we get in there, though? REED Can you do that thing where you absorb the light, and hide us? ECLIPSE Well, I can probably get us past the cops. But they're gonna notice a black shadow climbing through the window. REED I might be able to get us in there. ECLIPSE How, Reed? They've got all the entrances covered. REED I'll make a new one. Get me to the building, I'll break through the wall. ECLIPSE And what if you can't? REED We have no choice. ECLIPSE All right. I'll turn out the lights. The rest is up to you. POLARIS Andy? ANDY Oh, hey. I'm just, uh, psyching myself up for tomorrow. What's wrong? POLARIS ANDY That's crazy. Reeva would never work with the Purifiers. POLARIS I saw her myself. She was meeting with Benedict Ryan. ANDY Benedict Ry-Sh-She hates him, she hates them all. Why would she- POLARIS Because they both want the same thing, Andy. Mutants and humans, living apart. She needs people angry. She needs the Purifiers. ANDY They want us dead. Why would they help her? POLARIS She's using them to take out her competition. So her mutant uprising is all that's left. ANDY That's insane. I don't believe that. POLARIS Andy. Remember earlier, when she wouldn't tell us why we've never been in those tunnels before? There were mutants living there, Andy. Families. The Purifiers wiped them out for her. ANDY So you're telling me that everything Reeva said was a lie? Everything we did. Rebecca died for a lie? POLARIS Look, I didn't want to believe it, either. But it's true. I know how you feel, okay? I want a mutant homeland, too, but not like this. Andy, we we can stop her. If you come with me. POLARIS Andy, we have to get out of here. Now. ANDY No, I-I'm, I'm sorry, I can't leave. POLARIS Wait, what? What do you mean? Don't you want to go back to your family? ANDY Yeah, but how can I? After everything that happened? POLARIS Andy. Andy. You can't stay here, can you? Knowing what you know? ANDY I don't know. After all the things I've done maybe I belong here. POLARIS No, Andy, that story you told me, about the boy who loved trains, the one you sat with at school when no one else would. Andy Strucker, that is who you are. ANDY Yeah, maybe a long time ago, Lorna. But I'm not that person anymore. SENTINEL SERVICES ECLIPSE All right, you're up. REED POLICE LOUDSPEAKER 2 This is your last warning. Out with your hands up. SENTINEL SERVICES LAUREN CAITLIN Not bad. LAUREN I try. ECLIPSE Listen to me, Reed. We don't have a plan B. REED ECLIPSE And your wife and your daughter, they're in there and they need your help. REED I know what you're trying to do, and it is not helping. ECLIPSE You're letting them down. REED Hey, I wish I could turn my powers on and off like everybody else, but I can't! ECLIPSE Reed? REED Better late than never. LAUREN CAITLIN The building's surrounded. We have to hold them off. Where is that coming from? LAUREN It's at the wall. REED CAITLIN Reed! LAUREN Dad, you did it. REED You two okay? CAITLIN We are now. REED ECLIPSE Guys, it's really good to see you, but the cops are gonna know something's up soon. Just stay close and stay quiet, all right? REED Come on. That's pretty cool. ECLIPSE Man, we got lucky. Helicopter still thinks you're in that building. I guess that's one thing that went right. CAITLIN Hm. LAUREN I can't believe Clarice is gone. What happened? REED She s-stayed back in the tunnels to rescue the last of the Morlocks. CAITLIN How's John? He must be- ECLIPSE He's a wreck. REED Hello? POLARIS Reed, it's Lorna. I'm with Andy. He needs to talk to you. REED Yeah, of course. Put him on. POLARIS Andy, come on. REED Andy, are you there? CAITLIN Andy? He's on the phone? REED I think so. Are you there, son? ANDY Dad? REED Andy, I know the things that Lorna is saying to you are hard to hear, but... they are true. You need to come home. CAITLIN Yeah. REED Andy. ANDY I'm sorry. I don't think I can do that. REED What? Of course you can. We love you so much. We're your family. You belong with us. ANDY Do I? When we saved John, when I attacked that Purifier for trying to shoot Lauren. I saw you, Dad. You were afraid of me. REED No, Andy, th-that's, that's not- ANDY You know it's true, Dad. And you were right. I wanted to kill that man. I belong here. I am a monster. CAITLIN Reed, what is he saying? ANDY You don't have to say anything else, I just, I just wanted you to understand why I can't come. REED Wait, Andy, please. Listen to me. I do understand. More than you know. Today, I I killed a man. He was threatening us, and he, um, he was. I-I got so angry, and, and I lost control, and, and I killed him. Not because I had to, but because I wanted to. So, if you're a monster, son, then so am I. ANDY I-I have to go. REED CAITLIN What did he say? Is he coming home? REED I don't know. CAITLIN I thought we had more canned goods than this. I guess we haven't been to the store in a while. REED I don't think the Morlocks are gonna be picky about creamed vs. canned corn. CAITLIN REED At least they're safe. CAITLIN Reed. If you hadn't stopped that man, he would have shot you. You didn't have a choice. REED I'd already destroyed his gun, Cait. CAITLIN And if you walked away, he would have called his friends or-or the police, none of you would've made it out of there. You are a good man. I know that. REED I don't think he's coming home. CAITLIN We don't know what's gonna happen. The important thing is you told him the truth. REED Is it me and, I mean, my family history, my what I did to that man today, what if it's all just what if it's all just darkness? CAITLIN Maybe you had to join Andy in that darkness, in order to help him. All you can do is show him the path. You can't make him take it. ECLIPSE Hey, man. THUNDERBIRD Everybody make it? ECLIPSE Yeah, yeah. THUNDERBIRD I'm sorry I couldn't be there. ECLIPSE How are you? THUNDERBIRD I'm not good, um. It hurts, I just, I-I miss her, i-it's like everyone that I love dies. ECLIPSE Look, you can't, you can't blame yourself. She didn't die in vain. Every Morlock who's standing is alive because of her. THUNDERBIRD It doesn't stop me from hating myself for not saving her. I'm useless. ECLIPSE You're not useless, John. So what if you can't track? So what? The storm that's coming our way isn't gonna be hard to find. The real question here, brother, is can you still fight? RYAN Thank you, Claire. Mr. Turner. You're up late. JACE I need to talk to you about what happened in the tunnels. RYAN What about it? JACE I went down there and did exactly what you said to do, and what I saw didn't look like a terrorist camp. There were children down there, there were families, just defending their homes. RYAN I have larger concerns right now. JACE Do you? RYAN And so should you. I have reason to believe there will be a mutant attack on our soil soon, one that will rival in magnitude that of 7/15. So do you want to continue crying about a bunch of mutants in the sewers, or do you want to help make America safe? Those men that were killed down there those men had families, too. And after what happened to our friend, Officer Wilson, I. how can you even- JACE Wait, what--what are you, what are you talking about? What happened to Wilson? RYAN You don't know. JACE What happened? RYAN I'm sorry. He's dead. They found his body behind a dumpster. And what they did to him was savage. Inhuman. JACE I was with him right before, I mean, I. RYAN What's important now is that we honor his memory by carrying on his fight. They're coming for us, Mr. Turner. Soon. We need you. Now more than ever. BLINK John. THUNDERBIRD Clarice? Blink? PHOEBE We did a full sweep. They're gone. REEVA Why do I have telepaths if they can't tell if my people are gonna betray me? THE FROSTS Sorry, Reeva. PHOEBE Andrew was solid. Nervous, but he was with us until today. SOPHIE We could sense Lorna's uncertainty, but we felt it before and she never strayed. PHOEBE Someone thought they had a “special bond.” ESME I was the one that kept her with us this long. We need to decide what to do now. Should we put the plan- REEVA Their real value to us was symbolic. The chance to build a mutant homeland on the foundation of two legendary mutant families. It would have been glorious. Such a shame we have to kill them.
