Mosaic (2007) - full transcript

Okay, I think that does it.

All right.
Let's go.

Felix, we'll see you
over at the east wing.

Don't take too long.

Still got that mummy...

Hmm.

This way!

Freeze!

Wha...

Shots came
from over here!

Are you sure?Yeah!



Move!

What the hell is that?

If we shadows have offended,

think but this,
and all is mended.

that you have
but slumbered here

while these visions
did appear,

and this weak
and idle theme...

...no more yielding
than a dream.

Gentles, do not reprehend.

If you pardon,
we will mend.

And as I am an honest Puck,

and if we have unearned luck,

now to 'scape
the serpent's tongue,

we will make
amends ere long.



Else the Puck a liar call,

so good night
unto you all.

Give me your hands
if we be friends,

and Robin shall
restore amends.

Special delivery for
the most talented actress
in all of New York City.

Stephan, you came!

I wouldn't have missed it
for the world.

Did my dad leave
these with you?

Uh, yeah...

Y-Yeah!

He said to tell you
he was sorry

he had to leave early.

Said you'd understand.

That's just like him,
but at least you stayed
until the end.

How could I leave?

You were riveting.

You're so sweet.

Give me a sec
to get changed.

You can walk me home.

Don't change too much,
Maggie.

You're perfect
just the way you are.

Look at him.
Who's this?

Can I help you?

Near as I can tell,
nothing was taken.

That makes it a local murder.

How does this involve
Interpol?

Cheese and crackers!
What the heck
happened to him?

I'll let you know
as soon as I do.

Grrr!

Okay, people,
give me what you got.

Hmm.

Hey, sorry, fella.

Would hate to have to
brought you all the way
from Africa only to...

Nelson.

We have a dead
alien here.

Where are you?

Something came up.
I had to check it out.

What is it?
What did you find?

Not over the phone.

The park.

Across the street
from the office.

Ten minutes. Ten minutes.

What was so important

he couldn't have waited
a few more minutes?

Your dad works
for Interpol,

and the whole world
is his precinct.

But, as busy as he is...

He came tonight,
and I appreciate it.

It's just,
I know in his heart,

he doesn't get
the whole acting thing.

He doesn't appreciate
how similar we are.

Him being an international
investigator,

and you?

And me being
an actress, yes!

Where do you think I get
my impeccable eye for detail?

Maggie Nelson,
multinational secret agent?

Now, there's
a scary thought.

Why not?
I've studied martial arts...

Ha!

Fencing... ha.

Target practice
and horseback riding...

You realize most young
actresses wait tables?

Speaking of which,
double caramel
mocha frap on me?

Yeah. But my treat.

We're celebrating
your opening night.

Well, let's go, Candice.
I haven't got all night.

Where are you?

Where are you?

I'm in the park.
You said to meet...

I'm not in the park.
I'm at the museum,

where you should be
explaining to me

what this creature
is doing here

wearing
a guard's uniform!

Ha ha!

At long last,
eh, Agent Nelson?

I'm sorry.

I'm afraid you have me
at a disadvantage, sir.

I've been called many
things over the years.

I happen to have grown
a particular fondness

for Manikin.

It suits me,
as I put on guises easily.

Pleased to finally
make your acquaintance.

Though it isn't as if
you haven't tried,

following me all over
the globe and back again.

Now, you have something
that belongs to me.

Ha!

I don't really need
that woman's stone,

but it would make
my task a lot easier...

Damned noisy,
that gun of mine.

Grrr!

Watch your back.
Shots have been fired.

Let's go, men.
Search around.

Is he alive?Call an ambulance.

♪ I am, 'cause I keep on changin' ♪

♪ I like who I see In the mirror in front of me ♪

♪ But sometimes I feel like a triple hot man ♪

♪ Ruled by my head, Ruled by my passion ♪

♪ Keep jumpin' till I feel like somethin' ♪

♪ You could really start chewin' ♪

♪ The cold wind's killin' me

Yeah.

♪ Standin' right in front of me ♪

Ooh, tough crowd.

With me here in
the studio is Mr. Mix,

reptile-at-large,

a gift from
my globetrotting
parental unit

and the subject of
my science term project.

May I say, sir, I'm
a big fan of your work.

A chameleon does
naturally what an actor
works so hard at.

It's why I chose to do
my bio term paper

on you and your ilk.

Ilk.
I love that word.

Right.

We so have to talk
to Dad about

getting me
my own computer.

Aah!

No-o!

You've got it?Yeah.

Can it be?

Maggie!
Are you okay?

Uh, is she okay?

Mags, if... if something
happened to you,

I don't know...

Lightning! Pow.Huh?

Crackle. Ouch!

Uh, yeah.
I think so.

Thanks
for letting me in.

I think we'll
be all right now.

Yeah, well, I gotta go
to the basement

and check the breakers.

I warned you about
using a computer

in the middle
of a storm.

Whoa.
This is radical.

You're telling me.

Mags, you sure
you're okay?

Yeah.You're not acting okay.

Are you saying
I'm a bad actress?

How the heck did you...

How the heck did I...

Very funny. I came because
I heard you shout out,

not to get made fun of.

What?

Steph, what did I say?

You imitated me.

I did?

Um, can I have
some... water?

Hmm.

Aah!

Huh?

What is it?

What's wrong?

I just saw...
something I couldn't have.

Thanks.

Maggie, listen.

Just now...

when I wasn't sure if you
were gonna be okay,

it made me realize
I have something

I really need
to tell...

Hello?

Yes, Margaret Nelson.

What's wrong?

We'll see him
in a moment, Maggie.

Room 416.

Wha...

While you're here,

you might want
to get checked out
yourself, Maggie.

I'm fine.

You may have been
struck by...

Stephan, it's my dad
I need to worry about
right now.

Dad!

I'll wait downstairs.

Hey, Magpie.

Oh, Daddy, shh.

Don't try to talk.

Yeah. I'm sorry about
leavin' your play.

You know sometimes
the real world...

Gets in the way
of the acting world.

I know, and...

you know how much
I love you.

Nurse? Someone?

No, no.

It's okay, Magpie.
Promise me.

Anything.

Keep your grades up.
Go to college.

Get a real job.

Something safe and secure?

Yeah.

Like an Interpol agent?

Magpie,
you were great tonight.

Better than great.

Your mother
would have been so proud.

I'm so proud.

You ace your term paper...

I'll...
I'll read lines with ya.

Deal, Daddy.

Is he okay?

Can you tell me...

What's going on?

Huh?

Where did they go?

How could
they get past us?

We have to find them,
or "M" will melt us alive.

"M"?

How did I do that?

Margaret?

Your father
needs his rest.

Who are you?

I'm his boss,
Special Agent Newell.

I must insist
you come along.

What happened to him?

That's classified.

I've been
an Interpol agent's
daughter my whole life.

I should have seen
that non-answer coming.

Is he gonna be okay?

I'm not a doctor.

You're not the most
sensitive person
in the world,

either, are you?

My job is to find
the person or people

responsible for what happened
to your father, Miss Nelson.

Would you rather
I do that,

or fall to the floor
in tears?

We'll have guards
posted 24/7.

What should I do?

Go home, Maggie.

You have a paper
due tomorrow, don't you?

Your dad talks about you
all the time.

He does?

Go get some rest.

I want you two
to stay on guard here.

Special Agent Newell?

No one...

Please call me
when he wakes up.

Steph,
he looks so weak.

It'll be okay, Mags.

It will.Stephan, you're always
there for me.

What was it you were
gonna tell me earlier?

It can wait.

I'll get us a cab.

Thanks.

Taxi! Taxi!

Don't think you're
getting another nibble

until you explain what
the heck happened to me.

Mm, here.

I could understand
getting bitten by
a radioactive chameleon,

but lightning?

How is it that I can
copy your abilities?

And why isn't anything
happening now?

Maybe I imagined
the whole thing.

Aah!

No.

No!

Aah!

No!

Aah!

Maggie, you okay?

Steph, don't you
ever sleep?

I was thinking about what
happened to your dad.

Maybe if we went through
some of his papers.

Y-Yeah?

Just to see what
he was up to.

You know, before
he was attacked?

How did you know?

I'm not the one
who should be answering
questions right now,

starting with who,
or what are you?

The closest English
pronunciation of my name

that I could come up
with is "Mosaic."

As to what I am...

"M!"

Who? What?

You're "M."

You sent those men
to get my dad. Why?

No. That wasn't me.

That's the man
I'm looking for.

He often calls himself
Manikin.

You're probably a bit
confused right now.

Golly gosh, ya think?

You deserve an explanation.

Good student that you are,
I'm sure you know

about the origins of man,
homo sapiens.

Uh, right.
Okay.

Well, there was another
branch to that tree.

Homo chameleal.

That's what we are
descended from.

We meaning you
and this Manikin guy?

We meaning my people.

When the continents were one,

we lived on a large island

in what you call the Indian Ocean.

And for thousands of years as we evolved, mutated,

we were isolated by the sea from other humans.

We developed abilities

that helped us survive.

We forged a society,

became a civilization unto ourselves:

the Chimera.

Just as we were able to change ourselves,

so were there those among us

who could imbue metal and stone with abilities

they were never meant to possess:

alchemy.

The few times we left our home

to come in contact with the human world...

to be honest, it never ended well.

Nearly 300 years ago,

a natural disaster devastated
our island paradise.

Chimera was mostly claimed by the sea.

Or scattered
into other lands.

We tried to blend in
with the human population.

So you stayed hidden
all this time?

Well, let's just say
we've tried.

Then why are
you here now?

Several years ago,
a movement began

to try to rebuild
our dying civilization.

We met in remote places in secret.

The human world had forgotten about us,

and our experience was such

that we chose to be careful and remain hidden.

But there was this one, a revolutionary,

who decided we shouldn't let the human race

dominate us anymore.

He argued that our science and technology

were far superior to anything the humans had

snatched by archeologists and thieves

and left to gather dust in museums

by fools who had no clue to their power.

Gathering them together,

there was no reason we could not use

the alchemical power of the chameleal

to hold dominion over the earth.

A few of our people began to agree with him.

The Council rightfully rejected his cause.

Let me guess:
his name was Manikin.

Yes. Manikin
left Chimera,

and took his followers
with him.

A select handful
of us were dispatched
to apprehend him.

So, you're
a chameleon...cop?

Something like that.

What does any of this
have to do

with what happened
to my father?

In recent months, Manikin began

retrieving these ancient objects

from various museums around the world...

leading here to New York City.

I have been tracking him.

So, apparently, had your father.

I had placed chameleal agents in various museums.

Tonight, one was killed.

So those are the thefts
my dad's been investigating.

And this Manikin guy
attacked him because...

I don't know why.

He'd already escaped

with the sacred eye stone
of Chimera.

Um, yeah, so...

This is all
pretty ridiculous.

Contrary to
popular belief,

not every drama club geek
has a phaser in her locker,

and all 10 hours of
Lord of the Ringson DVD.

Clueless.

Admit it. You know about
as much about my world

as I know about yours.

You need my help.

Nonsense. You would
serve no other function

than to be in my way.

Quite a line
you got there, Mo.

You really know how
to charm the ladies, eh?

Let us be frank, Maggie.

You are an actress.

Guilty as charged,
but I'm an actress...

who can do this.

Sod's blood!

Well, you think
that's impressive,

I'm just getting
started.

I don't understand.
You're only human.

Never in the history
of our separate races

has there ever been a human
who shared our abilities.

Yeah, well, practice,
practice, practice.

That's my motto.

Earlier,
I sensed something.

Tell me, did anything
unusual happen to you?

Other than my father
being hurt,

not that I can think of.

No. Nope, sorry.

There was
an ancient myth,

I always thought
it was little more
than a child's tale.

When there came a time
of great darkness,

a mighty chameleal
warrior,

who could stand
between two worlds,

would walk the earth.

Uh, yeah. That's me.

Little old camelia
at your service.

This Manikin guy
hurt my father.

I don't know
if you know what it's like
to see your dad in pain.

For whatever reason,
I can do these things.

I don't care
how long it takes,

how high or low I have
to search for this guy.

What do we do next?

I'm so gonna have
to learn that trick.

Mr. Mix, what did
you get me into?

Uhhh!

Too easy.

Cool!

Hi, there's Tom!Oh, crap.

I love him!

Oh, my gosh!
I'll get him.

Mom! That looks
like Spiderman.

See? Up there
on the building.

You've been reading too many
comic books, young man.

Gotta remember
to be more careful.

Hmm.

Whoa.

Get a grip, girl.

Visiting hours
at the hospital

don't start
for a couple of hours.

Maybe they have
a chameleon exhibit.

Wow, it's amazing
how closely we're related.

Couple of DNA strands
different,

and I'd never be able

to shave all the hair
off my legs.

Ha ha ha!

Hey, sweetie.
Where ya goin'?

Yeah. Wanna party?

Hey, don't walk away!

Stay.

Aah!

Huh?

The two guys
you're looking for

are hiding right over there,
behind that clump of bushes.

All right, you two,
come out with your hands

nice and high,
so I can see 'em.

That was kind of fun.

This is so weird.
I seem to be able

to see people's
and animal's DNA.

Once I see it,
I can change into it.

I can blend into
the background

and essentially
disappear.

How, and why,
did this happen to me?

Was I holding Mr. Mix
when the lightning struck?

Maybe some of his abilities
got zapped into me.

If I've got some of
his abilities, I wonder

if I've got any
of his weaknesses?

Well, I'll have to do
more study on that later.

Or I won't make it
to the hospital on time.

Oh, Maggie.

Stephan!Huh?

I tried to catch you
before you left this morning,

but I...overslept.

I can imagine. After
everything that's happened,

you must... I must need help
with my term paper.

Exactly.

Stephan, you're
the smartest person I know.

I need you to tell me
everything you know
about chameleons.

Uh, sure.

I got a private science
lab session right now,

but we can talk
at lunch.

No! I need your help now.
Lunch might be too late.

What? Your paper
isn't due until...

Mr. Bullwraith!

I'm sure there is
a reason

why the bell has still rung
and you are both still here

in the hallway?

Yes, sir!No, sir.

Um...

I have to talk
to Stephan now.

Wow!

No sign of the real
Principal Bullwraith.

Aha!Huh?

I caught you at last.
Mrs. Notten...

Ahem.

Mrs. Nottenmyer.

So what can I do for
the school's librarian today?

You can address the matter
of overdue books

at the next school
assembly, if you would.

It would be a pleasure.

Now, if you'll excuse me,
Mrs. Nottenmyer...

No problem,
Mr. Bullwraith.

Oh!

I'll be in my office
during lunch hour.

Again.

There are just some things

a student shouldn't know
about her teachers.

There you are.

Maggie.
What are you doing here?

Are you in some
kinda trouble?
Is there anything...

Please, Stephan, focus.
I need you.

You need me?
Uh...

Yes, I need your
encyclopedic brain.

Do chameleons have
any weaknesses?

Weakness?Margaret.

There's been a problem.

Taken?Yes.

You had guards there.
I saw them.

How did it happen?

Apparently, someone
signed for his release.

Someone who looked
exactly like me.

An imposter, who managed
to fool two agents

that have worked with me
for 12 years.

Where are we going?

You're the most important
thing in your father's life.

If anything happens to you...

I don't need you
to protect me.

Your townhouse has already
been ransacked, torn apart.

They know where you live.

Besides, your father would
want me to look out for you.

Maggie!
What are you...

Come on! Get out
of the street!

Hey! Move that thing!

I know I can find my dad
faster than they can.

They're not gonna keep me
under lock and key.

Thanks, Stanley.

Stanley, I need a favor.

I've left
my security badge home,

and I need you to issue me
a temp visitor's badge.

Sure, no problem,
Agent Newell.

I just need you
to confirm your I.D.

with your
thumbprint here.

Show time!

This is a little awkward.

I can explain.

Not necessary, Mosaic.

I still don't understand
how you have

the ability to see
past my disguise.

Can't you see my DNA?

Uh, no.
You can do that?

Not to worry, Mo,
when you've been doing this

as long as I have.

So, what did we find out?

We?

These are the places
your father

has tracked Manikin
for the past year.

And there's only one place
not yet checked off.

Rome.

Hmm. I've always
wanted to go to Italy.

On three.

Do you smell gunpowder?

I'm sorry?Uh-oh.

What-oh?I'll meet you there, okay?

Everyone freeze.

Everyone meaning me?

Arrest this woman.
She's an impostor!

Not funny.

But you have to admit,
this is kinda funny, right?

Sorry.

Finally, a fan club,

and they're out to kill me.

Sorry, no time
for autographs.

She's like a chameleon.

Hold it right there.
I.D., please.

All right.
Go ahead.

Hmm? Ah.

Maggie!

Shh.Maggie.

What's going on?

The police, federal agents,
your apartment...

It's something
my dad's mixed up in.

You know, Interpol stuff.

I thought your dad
was still in the hospital.

How's he doing?

He's been kidnapped,
Stephan.

And they've broken
into our place
and torn it apart.

That's horrible.
What are you gonna do?

They're putting me
in a safe house

until they get
my dad back.

Listen, Stephan,

I'm not really supposed
to be here,

but I had to get some
of my stuff, you know?

Anyway, I gotta go
before anyone sees me

and I get into trouble.

So don't tell anyone
you saw me here, okay?

Oh, sure.
I get it.

Listen, Maggie,
you take care, okay?

Don't do anything foolish.

I'd had to have
something happen to you.

I mean, I'd...

It's just that,
well, you... You're...

I know, Stephan.
I'll be careful.

Things will work out.
My dad will be fine.

And we'll both be back
before you know it.

I love you, Maggie.

There you go.

Flight 123 to Rome

is now ready for final boarding.

Wait!

Huh! Just made it.

You're good. What you
lack in experience,

you make up for with your
natural ability to improvise.

Mosaic?

How did you know
it was me?

And how come you're not
in disguise yourself?

I only knew it was you

because I was
looking out for you,

and noticed
the flight attendant

enter the rest room,
and you stepped out.

I'm not in disguise,
because, well,

frankly, no one
will recognize me.

Good point.

I guess I have
a lot to learn

about my new,
um, powers.

Golly gosh, ya think?

We'll be dimming the lights

for the rest of the flight to Rome, Italy.

The truth is,

very little in life
is what it appears
to be, Maggie.

Like the artifacts
my father has been known

to chase down
all across the planet?

Among other things, yes.

Now, we might be in
for quite the ordeal.

We're not exactly sure
what to expect

when we arrive in Rome,

and while you will no doubt
resist the notion,

you should at least try
to get some rest.

Don't take this
the wrong way,

but when you finally
settle on a face,

you're kinda cute.

Uh, thank you?

My mom used to travel.
She was a writer.

That's how
she and my dad met.

She always said she wanted
to take me to Europe.

It's just all so...
beautiful.

This city, this day...

I guess it's just
hard for me to believe

that we're on the trail
of some evil, master criminal.

More than just a criminal.

Manikin believes that
he has within his grasp

the power
to rule the world.

Okay, well, that
puts it in perspective.

Thanks.

Well, here we are.

Are you serious?

Manikin came all this way
for a loaf of bread?

The chameleal are
not the only ones

who disguise things
in plain sight.

Grazie
Ciao.

Are those... bones?

Hundreds...
no, thousands of bones?

The Cripta dei Cappuccini

houses the remains
of exhumed Capuchin monks.

The concept of having bones
in a chapel isn't unique.

For centuries, it was
common to have a bone

or a lock of hair
of a venerated person

as a relic in a church.

What distinguishes
the Capuchin crypt

is the unabashed
and flamboyant manner

in which the bones
are displayed.

Cardinal Antonio Barberini,

who was of
the Capuchin order,

in 1631
ordered the remains

of thousands
of Capuchin monks

exhumed and transferred

from the friary of
Via de Lucchese

to the crypt.

The crypt now contains
the remains of 4,000 monks

buried between 1500
and 1870,

during which time
the Papal States

permitted burial
in and under churches.

Come along, now.
Come along.

Oh, and please
don't touch the femurs.

A camera and a bunch
of bagged lunches.

What do you think
that means?

Several tourists
came through here?

I'll bet they were
named Manikin

and his Gumby
goon squad.

The guys
from the hospital.

It's what I was telling
Stephan: eye for detail.

Stephan your boyfriend?

Stephan my best friend.

We could wander down here
for days and never find them.

Not to worry, Mo.
We're right on their heels.

Head straight up that way.

It was paved with blood!

I can understand
what he's saying.

At the sight
of your dark harvest,

at this consecrated ground

where you stood your last,

rise again and deliver

on your prophecy.

I understand
what he's saying,

but I don't understand what
he's saying.

What's going on?

If that's what
I think it is,

what's going on
is not good.

Here, at the site
where the treachery

of your race
was brought to bear,

here, where
the disciples of Chimera

at long last
sought their destiny...

here, where we lost
our brothers and sisters,

sons and daughters,
fathers and mothers,

husbands...and wives.

Ahh.

We always thought Manikin
had ulterior motives

in collecting
our sacred totems.

But the Hive Council
never envisioned this.

What? What, tell me.

Whose mummy is that?

The body interred
in that sarcophagus?

Facade.

I guess you'd call her

the high priestess
of Chimera.

The shaman.

She was also
Manikin's wife.

But she's been dead
for over...

We live a long time.

Wait. How old are you?

Centuries ago,
here at the Via Veneto

you were betrayed
by the weak

and the blind
of your own race,

and murdered
by these animals

that call
themselves human.

He's saying we humans

were responsible
for the death of his wife

and all these
other people here?

You need to know
the whole story.

Facade had
a brilliant mind.

She took
the practice of alchemy

to a whole new level,

no longer bound by tools
and other apparatus.

She was able to
transform elements

by sheer will.

The Midas touch.

Yes. Sort of.

You can guess the origin
of that legend.

But this power
drove her mad.

She schemed to rule
the world, both
chameleal and human.

So the races actually teamed up
to defeat her? Where did...

And so, you have
teamed up again.

At least when
you took on my wife,

you had the sense to send
overwhelming numbers.

I feel slighted.

Where's my father?

How endearing!

You actually care
for this young human.

Really? Me?

Huh?

A human who can
wield our powers?

Then the legend
has come to life.

The Chimeran Princess,
at last!

At your service.

Ohh!

Don't move.

I have no idea
why you want

whatever it is you want,

but you having it
can only be a bad thing.

I think
I'll take this.

Gone, eh?

Or perhaps not as gone
as she would like to be.

Oh, yeah.
That'll help.

You must be quite
impressed with yourself.

A human, to have
acquired the abilities

of the long-lost
chameleal.

But you will discover
there is a difference

between ability
and experience.

I'm as big a fan
of improvisation

as the next girl,
but this is crazy.

Uh-oh.

Anomaly or no,

you are beneath
my contempt, human.

I'm an actress, Manny.

I'm beneath
everyone's contempt.

There. Now, in a moment,

you'll be beneath
a ton of earth and stone.

Come on, Maggie.
You may be scared,

but you don't
have to act like it.

Funny, isn't it,
Special Agent Newell?

You're always
five minutes behind us.

Hmm.

Mo, you're okay.

Don't.Don't be stubborn.

I mean, don't
call me Mo.

Nice, huh?

Nothing a little
pancake make-up won't heal.

Shape-shifter, right.
Forgot.

You need rest.

I cannot.

We've got to go.
Now.

Time is of the essence.

Where are we going?Where else?
After Manikin.

Well, where
is he going?

Didn't you notice
the map on the wall?

The magnetic top
of the earth.

The North Pole?

Close enough.Mosaic?

Do you think
my father is with him?

And still alive?

I don't know for sure.
But I think so.

Manikin doesn't
do things for no reason.

He must have some reason
for kidnapping your father.

And therefore,
keeping him alive.

Colonel Vespucci.

It is an honor that you
will be pursuing

the transport jet
that was stolen from here

only half an hour ago.

Let us-a not waste-a
time standing here
talking about it, Captain.

I can't believe
we're stealing a jet.

We're not stealing it

as much as
we're borrowing it.

And you can fly
this thing?

It wouldn't be
the first time

I've had to pass
myself off as a pilot.

You pick things up
here and there.

What happens
when they discover

the real
pilot and copilot

are still in the mess hall
eating dinner?

By then,
we will be far away.

The fate of the world
hangs in the balance.

I have finally pieced
together his master plan.

Master plan?

You are in serious need
of a script doctor, Mo.

Script doctor?

Go on.

Why is he trying
to resurrect his wife?

That is not an option.

Even for our race,
dead is dead.

Manikin has figured out
how to transfer

his wife's abilities
to himself.

Maybe I am stupid, but why
is this so earth-shattering?

He would have
absolute power.

He would be like a god.

Imagine what he could do.

He could change oil into water, or water into oil.

Industrialized nations

would fall to their knees before him.

Dad was right.

This whole acting thing

suddenly feels
empty and stupid,

when you consider
the world is at stake.

I hope he's still alive
to hear my apology.

Don't be so hard
on yourself.

Would you say
farmers are stupid,

or doctors,
or the police?

No, but they feed people.

They heal people.

The police protect us.

They feel and heal and
protect their bodies, yes.

But it is acting
that feeds their minds.

Gives them hope.

It takes them
from what is,

and envelops them
in what might be.

Do not ever forget that.

Oh, my gosh!
I totally forgot!

What?

I've got midterms on Monday.

I don't have any
of my books with me.

How am I gonna study?

I'm gonna flunk out.
I'm so dead.

Oh, the Borealis Stone.

The lay lines
on the ancient map

all led here.

The hardest totemic
icon to find

is also the most
powerful one.

Soon, soon!

You're probably wondering
why I brought you here.

Actually,
I couldn't give a...

I need a life-spark
for the final element.

I thought,
for all your tenacity,

for every time you peered
into the darkness

while others
would turn away,

it would be a fitting
reward that you be

in no small part
responsible

for my ascendancy!

You're welcome.

What was that?

It has begun.I see him.

I see my father.
He's still alive!

We have to hurry.
Remember our plan.

Here. Take this
magnesium flare.

You tried to lead them.

And they killed you,
my beloved.

Now. Now I will,
at long last,

assume your
rightful throne!

Facade.

My beloved.

This is why you bring
me back, my husband?

To watch you repeat
my mistakes?

Did you learn nothing?

That was a long time...

And you have spent all
this time wanting nothing

but revenge?

Do you not see
that the power you crave

will poison you
as it did me?

Who are you?A friend.

In the time
you've been gone...

I understand more
than you can imagine.

I know that
the cycle of revenge

only leads to the mutual
destruction of all life.

I know that a person
must always stand
for what is right,

or he will fall
for anything.

Liar!

Where I come from,
we call it acting.

No!

Your star turn
as the Chameleon Princess

was only designed
to distract me

so that your ally could
plant the explosives.

Cut and print.

That's a wrap.

Now it's up
to you, Mosaic,

to get my father
out of here alive.

Aah!

Thank you, son.
I couldn't have... Huh?

Oh, my sweet Lord.

Next!

The Hive Council
sent you?

No, Father.

I volunteered.

He's your dad?

Facade was your mother?

You would have expected
nothing less of your only son.

You should be fighting
by my side for our people!

Our people?
Our heritage?

Everything my mother
believed in

before the power
drove her mad?

That is why I must stand
against you, Father.

Mosaic!

Aah!
Aah!

No-o!

Nate, are you okay?

You don't know
what I saw, Candice.

For the past
several years,

I've been cataloguing
anomalies.

Evidence of a hidden race
that walks among us.

Disguised as humans.
They can take our shape.

Until tonight, I hadn't
seen any with my own eyes.

But now that I have,

now that I know
the threat is real,

I swear, I won't rest

until every last one
is destroyed.

Every last one, Dad?

Even me?

I don't know
why you chose me.

Heck, I don't even know
if it was you

or the Hive Council,

or if it was just some
kind of cosmic accident.

But I can tell you this...

I'm not going to let
anyone down.

I'm going to
track down the rest

of the chameleal
artifacts out there,

and well, somehow, I know
you're going to help.

I'm gonna use the power
to be different.

To make a difference.

Come in!

I brought you a double
caramel mocha frap.

Thanks.
That's so sweet.

I, uh...

hear it's good for
mending a broken heart.

You can tell?Yeah.

I know that look.

Stephan, you just don't
know what it feels like

to lose someone
you love,

someone who never
knew how you felt.

Oh, I think
I can imagine.

Mags.

Why didn't you tell me?

Tell you what?

Oh, that. Did you
expect anything less?

Maggie, a lot has happened
in the last few days.

Things that I'm not
at liberty to talk about.

But it's why,
more than ever,

I want to make sure
you keep your grades up.

Study hard, so that
you have the security

of a career
to fall back on.

She's got a career.

Here, Maggie.
Here's those playbooks

you asked me
to pick up.

Hamlet?

You tryin' out for
the part of Hamlet?

"If not I, who?"

Isn't it traditionally
a part played by a man?

That's why they call it
acting, Daddy.

Come on, Dad.
A promise is a promise.

You have to
read lines with me.

Well, if you're
playin' Hamlet,

which part
do I read?

I'm not readin' Ophelia.

You can play Laertes.

Or the clown.

I think
I'll take Laertes.

Alas, poor Yorick.

I knew him, Horatio:

A fellow of infinite jest,

Of most excellent fancy:

He has borne me on his back
a thousand times...

What is he, whose grief
bears such an emphasis,

whose phrase of sorrow
conjures the wandering stars,

and makes them stand,
like wonder-wounded hearers?

This is I, Hamlet the Dane!

The devil take thy soul.

Thou prayest not well,
I prithee,

take thy fingers
from my throat.

Mosaic and Manikin are gone,

and perhaps all the chameleals.

But they have left a part of them in me,

for better or for worse.

It's up to me to find a way to use this gift

for the good of mankind.

As a tribute to him,

I must become the new Mosaic.
