Alphas (2011–2012): Season 2, Episode 13 - God's Eye - full transcript

ROSEN: Previously on Alphas...

HARKEN: Parish's
organization is huge and nasty,

and about to pull the
trigger on something big.

(SCREAMING)

That's the sixth attack on
the power grid this week.

In a day or two we'll have these power
grid protectors in place everywhere.

So Parish will have a
hard time keeping this up.

ROSEN: October 22nd, 1862.

That is when Stanton Parish
discovered he was an Alpha.

A hundred and fifty
years to the day.

Terrorists love anniversaries.



The doctor said that my
mom was either gonna die

or she'll be able to come home,

but he won't tell me which
and he won't tell me when.

We did not kill Dani.

ROSEN: Stanton Parish did.

I do know that if
Cley catches Parish,

he'll put him in prison.

He doesn't deserve
to go to prison.

No.

Hello, Cornell. (SCREAMING)

This has gone far enough.
(SCIPIO SCREAMING)

KAT: Oh, my God.

What the hell did you people do?

SKYLAR: This is what
I designed for Parish.



It's a mini
photo-stim controller.

The power goes in,
the flashes come out.

It's like steroids for an Alpha.

If it doesn't kill you, it
makes you stronger.

What happens to
people who aren't Alphas?

Mostly, they die.

Look, whatever he's planning, he's
planning to do it all over the place.

Now, look at this.

Cameron, you need to get
all of this information to Bill.

Doc, I'm not leaving you here.

You have a family, I don't.

You take this.
You might need it.

Where's Parish? Is he here?

I'm gonna watch the world
change with a God's-eye view.

What do you mean, God's-eye
view? What... What is that?

Hey, Dr. Rosen.

(GRUNTING)

(SIREN BLARING)

DANI: Wake up.

Dani.

Oh, no.

No, I'm in shock.

I'm hallucinating.
You can't pass out.

Then I need to get
to a hospital. No.

No, I can't.

BOTH: They report
gunshot wounds to the police.

Anyway, there's no time.

You don't have time.

You have... You
have to find him.

I have to find him.
You have to find him.

I've got to find him and
I've got to stop the bleeding

or I'll never make it. You
know who can help you.

Yes.

Good. Good, get up.

Now get up.

(HORN BLARING)

They found Rosen's blood.

And a worker at the
armory heard gunshots.

Okay, but we need to find him.

Rosen's out there
alone, he's bleeding...

Okay, listen, I will put a
BOLO out on him, all right?

But we cannot afford
to waste any more time.

Be on the lookout? That's it?

Our number one priority
right now is to stop Parish.

Now, if Rosen was here,
he would say the same thing.

Ow...

Got it.

(GASPS)

You need surgery.

Fiona, I came to you.

Okay.

So this part's gonna hurt.

I need to seal the
major blood vessels.

Now, take a deep breath for me.

(PANTING)

Oh...

Good.

Ready?

(GROANS)

All right, I did what I could,
but my ability isn't magic.

So you're gonna
need to take it easy.

I don't want you to
split yourself open again.

(GRUNTS)

There's a couch in my
office if you want to use it.

Thank you, but I...
I don't have time.

Whoa. Okay.

Wait a minute. If
you're going anywhere,

your next stop has got
to be the ER. I'm serious.

I know. I know. I just...

There's something
important I need to do.

HARKEN: So the best
we're gonna do is...

He's a plumber.

He's never heard
of Stanton Parish.

What the hell was he
doing in the armory?

Putting in extra bathrooms.

Really? Stanton's that concerned

about his super-charged Alphas
being nice and comfortable?

After everyone else is dead.

We don't know where
the mini-stims are,

how they're going to be
deployed, what's gonna set them off.

Why don't you go back in there and
push the rest of them so we can find out?

Get those line
reports from NYPD?

Hey, look, I get it. Okay,
obviously you're mad.

Yeah. This happens
when I'm nearly incinerated.

Listen to me. You were not
supposed to be on that convoy.

Yeah, but you let me go anyway.

Because you figured in a month I'll just
forget what a total douche you are, right?

I did what I had to do.

It wasn't about you.

(SCOFFS)

Kat...

Kat, where you
going? I'm out of here.

Hey, Kat...

You cannot leave.

What are you doing? You know
this thing is about to go down.

It could happen anytime
within the next 24 hours.

Remind me why I should care?

Because there are eight
million people in this city alone.

Yeah, and I don't
know any of them.

The only people I
know are in that room

and they hung me out to dry.

Have I hung you out to dry?

Have I?

Kat, listen to me. I need you.

Yo, Jones.

How's the security
retrofit coming?

This grid protector is giving
me nothing but problems.

(MAN SINGING DRUNKENLY)

Hey! We're working here.

(CONTINUES SINGING)

C'mon, man. We've got,
like, a dozen of these to do.

This one's a little hinky.

You gotta finesse it.

Almost got it...

Oh!

Hey, what's going on
with the grid protector?

(ALL GRUNTING)

Here you go. Sure. Thanks.

Hey, buddy.

Oh, ho-ho!

Mmm, sweet, sweet day.

Hmmm. I find it
unseasonably humid.

But that's what you get when
you screw with Mother Nature.

Hmm.

Selfish bastards.

They did the best they could.

And after tonight, some of them

will be changed.

And the rest...

Well, it should be
quick and painless.

I've got all my guys set
down at the backup generator.

Good.

Gather up Dr. Rosen,
take him to the safe house.

Be convincing, but no
unnecessary violence.

Yeah, about that... Yes?

Dr. Rosen showed up
in Yonkers last night.

He was planning on taking
you down, boss, so I...

You know, kind of shot him.

You did what?

Where is he? I don't know.

He took off in his car.
Probably dead already.

(WHIMPERS)

Look, I was...

I was just looking
out for you. Okay?

Do you know

that it is pointless
to kill in anger?

I was just thinking that.

(GRUNTS)

Make yourself useful.

(SINGING HYMN)

Don't take no for an answer

There's no telling
where we've been

Because people don't
understand, understand, understand

People don't understand

People like me

GARY: Well, I checked
every ER in the city.

Yeah. Seven people were admitted
with gunshot wounds last night.

But that's not unusual.

That's only two
more than average.

Gary, (SIGHS) was
Rosen one of the patients?

No. And I checked
all the morgues, too.

And they haven't got his body,

so that's good. Unless they
just haven't found his body yet.

Because dead bodies
are good at hiding.

I have to go to my mom's
room now. All right, Gary.

The nurse keeps calling me.

Just keep looking, okay?
Yeah, of course I will...

I should have never left Rosen.

That was Rosen's call.

He sent you back here.

All he wanted was
justice for Dani.

We both did.

Now he's seeing it through.

I let her down.

What happened? Did she die?

No, Agent Bell.

Oh, you woke up.

Hey. Hey, Mom.

KAT: Watch your
step, there, princess.

You know, I didn't need
you to come along with me.

Believe me, it
was not by choice.

So, you really think this has
something to do with Parish?

Five unexplained
deaths, today of all days?

It has to be connected.

We need to find
out what killed them.

Could it be noxious fumes?
This place smells like ass.

Traces of methane,
sulfur, carbon monoxide.

It's not enough to be toxic.

I'm really surprised
you can hack it.

One fart in an elevator,
and you freak out.

Hey! What's your problem?

Well, you almost got
me killed. So there's that.

I'm sorry about that.

It was a complicated
situation. You know,

beyond that, it's just this
whole lack of loyalty thing

pisses me off. You
weren't there, okay?

It went too far. You
decided it went too far.

If you're gonna sign up for
something stupid and dangerous,

at least have the
balls to see it through.

Pick a side! What? (SHUSHING)

Shh! It's a heartbeat.

I hear someone. He's scared.

Whoa, whoa,
it's okay, it's okay.

KAT: Hey, we're here to
help. (SOFTLY) It's okay.

KAT: Were you here?

RACHEL: Do you wanna
tell us what you saw?

Just tell us what's wrong.

(SCREAMING)

ROSEN: Oh, this is
ridiculous. Find Parish...

I have no idea
where to look for him.

Yes, you do.

The bastard told
you. Through Mitchell.

I'm gonna watch the world
change with a God's-eye view.

God's-eye view.

I'll watch the world change
with a God's-eye view.

Where the hell is that?

(CHURCH BELL
CHIMING) You'll figure it out.

You know who you can trust.

(TALKING INDISTINCTLY)

UTILITY WORKER: You
gotta check that line. All right.

He said the lights flash,
leave five men dead.

And the only survivor
left is an Alpha.

Or he was turned into an Alpha.

And he seemed really freaked
out when he made that noise.

This had to be
caused by a photo-stim.

Photo-stim? Well, that'd be
connected to the power lines, right?

Great, so we search
a gazillion miles of...

KAT: Rachel, what is it?

It's a grid protector.

We put these in the
power system to protect

it from Parish and he
put a photo-stim inside.

We screwed ourselves.
Parish played us.

They could be all over
the country, Rachel.

Thanks for coming
back. We need the help.

Well, I made these
things for Parish.

So some of this in on me.

All right, what
set this thing off?

Was it a remote, a timer, what?

SKYLAR: No, the workers.

They smashed it with a hammer.

Men are idiots. Thanks.

8:18.

That's when this thing is
supposed to go off. 8:18 tonight.

Evil, twisted son-of-a-bitch.
Every light on this grid will flash.

If you open the
fridge, you get zapped.

We've got crews
pulling them out,

but we're talking over a
million in 19 different cities.

They don't have time.

Man, it took these guys a
month to put these things in.

We just can't take them
out in a couple hours.

You have to cut the
power. It's the only way.

Pull the plug on
the national grid

until we can rip
all these things out.

Is that even possible
with the time we have left?

I'll get FEMA started on it.

It won't work in New York.

The lines have
dead-man switches.

It means the systems
keep going no matter what.

That's right. It's a 9/11 thing.

The system can't
shut down all at once.

So how are we
gonna get past this?

Me.

All right, what do you need?

You have to
transfer her right now.

Not in 24 hours.

You know, I'm a Federal Agent.

You have to do
exactly what I say.

I'll see what I can do
to hurry things along.

Yeah, hurry things along!

Get on with it! ROSEN: Gary...

Oh, Dr. Rosen. What
are you doing here?

Gary, I need you... I need
help. I need to get my mom out.

Bill says it's not safe.

I want to move her
somewhere safe now.

How is she doing?

Oh, she's boring.

She's awake, but
she's just staring.

Mom! Gary, I'm sorry

I haven't been here
for you during all of this.

I've... I've been busy.
Yeah, you were busy.

You kidnapped someone,
held him prisoner.

No, I was... That takes time.

I was doing what I could
to stop Stanton Parish.

Yeah, to kill him.

No, Gary. I was
trying to protect people.

No, Dr. Rosen, come
on. Don't lie to me.

The same you way you were trying to
protect your mother. You're lying to me.

You want to kill him.

Because of Dani. (PANTING)

God's-eye view, Gary.

What is that?

I don't know what it
means. I need your help.

I imagine God's-eye
view, it has to be high up

and it obviously has
some significance for him.

Oh, well, his family
owned lots of boats.

But they're not very tall.

They also owned some stables.

They... I don't like horses.
They look confused.

There's Shreve, Lamb and Harmon.

What's that?

Oh, they're architects.

And Stanton Parish is
on the board of directors.

And they... Oh, oh, oh.

They built the
Empire State Building.

DANI: God's-eye view.

Time to go.

But tell him you won't see him
again, because you're going to die.

Gary.

Working with you
means so much to me.

Seeing the world through
your eyes has been very special.

Oh, yeah, I know. I'm amazing.

Thank you. Yeah.

Oh, wait, Dr. Rosen?

They're looking for you.

You know that. I...
I should call them.

Because they can help you.

No, Gary, please
don't, don't do that.

I have to ask you to keep this
conversation just between the two of us.

It's very important.

I don't want any
of you to have to...

To have to share in this.

All of this. Do you understand?

Yeah, I understand.

Thank you, Gary.

I don't know what I'm
gonna do when I find him.

You stop him.

But how?

How am I gonna stop him?

How does he heal?

How does he heal?

Yes.

(WHISPERS) Okay.

Yeah, he must have some sort of

enhanced neural
immune response system.

It's got to be voluntary.

So that he can actually
will his axons to regenerate.

Yes.

And I need to
inhibit that response.

Anti-coagulants.

Methotrexate.

So if he were injured
severely enough...

He wouldn't be able to heal.

It would be done.

This is a big
hospital. Yes, okay...

It'll have everything you need.

God. What the hell am I doing?

I've never stolen
anything in my life.

Aren't you doing what's right?

I don't even know I believe
in what I'm doing anymore.

Well, he does.

He did what he thought was right

and he is not giving up.

Oh, Dani.

Ever since you died, I...

I didn't die. I was murdered.

Oh, God, where am I?

Empire State Building.

Where the hell am I?

Oh, I'll never make it.

I lost too much blood.

Take the 1 to the Shuttle,

transfer at Grand
Central Station.

Yes, Grand Central Station.

HARKEN: NYPD
flagged this off the BOLO.

It's definitely Rosen.
And he's not looking good.

All right, what did he take?

Warfarin and heparin,
which are blood-thinners.

And then there's MXT,
which is a chemo drug.

I don't get it. I mean,
he's obviously hurt.

Why didn't he take pain killers?

There was Vicodin and
Percocet in the cabinet.

If he's bleeding, blood-thinners
aren't gonna help him.

Come on, Doc. What
the hell are you doing?

He shouldn't have done that.

Dr. Rosen, he's really
angry about Dani dying.

Just like I was
angry about Anna.

And he's doing bad things.

(WHISPERING) Go.

Oh, that... Mom! You just spoke.

That's good.

Help him.

(STAMMERING)
No, I can't help him.

I promised him
that I wouldn't...

I wouldn't tell anyone
if he was in trouble.

But I... What is that?

What are you... What is this?

I'm gonna stay here with you.

Take care of you.
What... What is...

Go.

Go? I should go?

Go.

Mom, I...

Yeah, okay. I'll... I'll go.

Oh, I'm glad that
you didn't die, Mom.

You close? The clock's ticking.

We've got maybe
an hour. No, really?

Stop bugging us.

Is that my laptop?

KAT: We needed your logic board.

We've gotta punch
through the fail-safe,

so we're gonna kill
all the power units.

It died with honor. Out!

He's so pretty, but so useless.

He's smarter than he looks.

Ooh. Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to insult
the man you love.

I don't love Hicks.

Okay. Aren't you
almost done with that?

Yup. Guess it's time
to go save the world.

I brought you here when
you were eight years old, Dani.

Your mother and I.

We all took a
tour of the station.

In here...

I wanted to show you the
constellations in the sky,

but they're backwards.

The tour guide said
it was a mistake.

The painter, Paul Helleu,

said that he painted
them that way

because he wanted
people to see the stars

on the other side of the sky.

God's-eye view.

He's not at the
Empire State Building.

He's here.

MAN: Thank you, sir.

MAN ON PA SYSTEM:
7:15 express from Stamford

is now arriving at Track 3.

All passengers...

MAN: FEMA has completed
power-down in all Parish-affected cities.

Local authorities are standing
by for power-down in New York.

KAT: So you're sure
this is gonna work?

I'm never sure. Best case? Yeah.

Okay, worst case?

(SIGHS)

Worst case, this thing sets off

an explosive chain reaction that
kills everybody we're trying to save.

Okay. Yeah. That's worst.

Okay, just do it!

MAN ON PA SYSTEM: Now
arriving Track 101 on the lower level.

(PEOPLE TALKING)

(ALL GROANING)

COP: Everyone, take it easy.

(PANTING)

You did it.

Even after all that
crap you pulled.

You did it.

We did it. Mostly I did it.

Whatever. Yay, team.

RACHEL: Midtown, uh,
the power's coming back on.

It's spreading north.

KAT: Where else?

It's just New York,
as far as I can see.

It's working. It should be killing
every transformer on the grid.

Then where is the
power coming from?

See? Nothing to worry about.

GARY: Oh, oh, Dr. Rosen?

Dr. Rosen. Dr. Rosen.

Oh, no, Gary. Gary,
what are you doing here?

Oh, you're bleeding.

That's why I'm here, Dr. Rosen.

Is that why you
took the medicine?

Gary, you have
to leave right now.

It's very dangerous
for you to be here.

Yeah, I know it's
dangerous. You're bleeding.

Please don't worry about
me. You have to go. What? I...

Right... Right now. Go. Go.

Please, I can'
allow you to be here.

Parish is here.

No, Doctor, no, I'm not
gonna go anywhere, Dr. Rosen.

I get to make my own choices,

you know that.
Gary, I realize that...

No, you don't
realize, Dr. Rosen!

Okay, you're bleeding.
And you're alone.

Gary, I'm fine. You're not fine!

You help everyone on the
team, like you've helped me.

And like my mom helps me.

So now it's fair,
Dr. Rosen, that I help you.

I'm not gonna go anywhere. Okay?

It's my turn. It's
my turn! Okay.

Yeah. That's okay.

It's a back-up generator,
somewhere, and it's big.

But not enough power
to light up half the city.

Those should be shut down, too.

Anything with a
solid-state trip switch.

Unless it's really old.

Okay, well, whatever it is, we've
got 45 minutes to take it down.

Rachel...

We'll get everyone we've got
looking for that power source.

Okay, thanks.

That was Gary.

He's in Grand Central
Station. He found Rosen.

He thinks Parish is there, too.

Maybe that's why the
Doc stole those drugs.

He's going after Parish.

Come on, Gary, pick up!

Cameron...

Be safe, okay?

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

Here, what else do you
need to take with you?

For what? What's going on?

We're evacuating.

Now, these things are
going to go off in 40 minutes.

We're moving the command center
to the FEMA office in Tarrytown.

We're giving up?

No. No, we just need to be
prepared for the aftermath.

No.

You know what these
lights did to you last time.

Rachel, they could kill you.
I'm not leaving Dr. Rosen.

You are an infuriating woman.

Because I want to
do the right thing?

What about lying to me?

Was that the right thing?

Letting my op get ambushed,

so you could kidnap some guy?

I have to be able to trust the
woman that I'm in love with.

Don't you get that? Of course.

Right. Wait a second.

Did you say you're
in love with me?

Yeah, of course.

Say it again.

I love you.

You need to come with me.

I can't.

(SIREN BLARING)

HARKEN: Listen, we find Parish,
we stop this thing from happening.

Okay, but why would Parish
go to Grand Central Station?

Because with his freaky logic,

he wants to be in the middle of
everything when it goes down.

Yeah, and make sure it happens.

All right, so what's in
Grand Central Station?

Restaurants, the Apple Store...

Trains, tracks...

There's a generator that's
designed to keep the trains

running even if everything
else in the city goes down.

But that's just for trains.

No, that's the M-42.
It's from the '30s.

It can put out enough
power for half of Manhattan.

How do you know
this? I don't know.

Somebody must have
shown me. Maybe I took a tour.

It's under Grand
Central somewhere.

Okay, that's our generator.

All right, hold on.

GARY: Dr. Rosen, I can't
get very good reception here.

It's all brick.

I'll have to go up
to the main box.

I'll be able to see Parish
on the security cameras.

Gary, be careful.

Yeah. Oh, Dr. Rosen.
Don't get shot again.

MAN ON PA SYSTEM:
Attention Metro-North customers.

Lee Rosen? Hmm?

714 express train to New Haven,

first stop in Stamford,

is now available for
boarding on Track 28.

STANTON: Lee, you have no
idea how glad I am to see you alive.

I'd very much like
you to stay that way.

Stanton, where are you?

We need to talk, face to face.

Soon. Something I
have to finish first.

No, no. You do not
have to finish this.

Haven't you seen enough blood?

There won't be any blood.
It'll be quick and clean.

What... What is this,
your Final Solution?

A new beginning, for
this small island at least.

There is a storage closet 10 yards
in front of you on the south wall.

It's a gray door.

Go inside. The light
has been disabled.

You're part of this future, Lee.

So shut the door
and close your eyes.

MAN ON PA SYSTEM: From
October 22nd through the 26th...

According to the briefing, that generator
should be somewhere around here.

You hear something, Rachel?

(WHIRRING)

It's 150 meters down,

near the Lexington
Avenue subway tunnel.

Skylar.

Bill, Parish wouldn't leave
the generator vulnerable.

Yeah, I'll cover them.

You find Rosen.
Come on, let's go. Right.

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

So anybody have any gum?

Yeah.

(GUN COCKING)

(ELEVATOR DINGS)

Everybody down!

Watch out!

Duck!

The M-42 is down
that passageway.

Yeah, awesome, we'll just skip
past the guys with the machine guns.

Harken, break that!

(BEEPS)

What is that? (ELEVATOR DINGS)

Go!

HARKEN: Get down.

Rachel, you got it! Go!

Hey.

(GRUNTING)

I need you to throw me. What?

I need you to throw me.

(WHISTLES)

(GRUNTING)

(GRUNTS)

It's old. Really old.

Old tech is tough.
What did you expect?

Not this old.

Let's get started, then.

This is one of
the first platforms.

I watched them build it.

Helped pour the concrete.

I put this in here
when it was still wet.

A 1913 Charles Barber
Liberty Head, pure silver.

I'm surprised no one dug
it out, certainly by now.

But I'm afraid we move
through this world too quickly

to notice things of true value.

Shut up!

A firearm?

How crass.

She was everything
to me, Stanton.

And you killed her.

Yes, I did, for
the greater good.

My sweet Danielle
was everything to me.

You have no right
to talk about her.

Of course. My apologies.

You'll forgive me. I have to make
my way to the main concourse.

And you should get
yourself to a safe place.

Please, Lee. It's important.

This is what you want. What?

What do you want from me?

You don't know?

(CLOCK TICKING)

In a few minutes, I'll
be a mass murderer.

I'll have served my purpose.

I can't kill the damn thing!

Parish cross-wired and
hardened every access point.

I'm gonna try to
pull all the breakers.

You'll be the man they need.

I want you to lead them.

DANI: Kill him.

He murdered me, Daddy.
He murdered your little girl.

Put him in the ground!

No, I'm not gonna do it.

I'm not that man.

Because Danielle wouldn't
have wanted it this way.

She knew there was a better way.

I couldn't find it.

Well, we should
have looked harder.

That's what she would've wanted.

(GUNSHOT)

Bill, Kat, help Skylar.

Rosen and Parish were
talking. I heard a gunshot.

Hey, keep working on that.

Which way?

He's already
started to heal, Doc.

Now, I know you've got
those drugs. Let's finish this!

No, Cameron. Shoot him up!

Kill this bastard and let's
get the hell out of here!

Cameron, if we kill him,

what does that make us?

He killed Dani. I know.

I know.

But if we let him live,

he'll live with
that pain forever.

Don't do it, Cameron.

Be the man that she loved.

Cam?

These aren't all the breakers.

There's another panel on the
opposite side of the building.

Why would they split them?

Security reasons.

So people like you
and I can't shut it down.

Which is smart. We can't
kill the generator from here.

The outgoing lines, they have to
run through this panel somewhere.

We'll cut them. Shut down
power to the rest of the city.

That's great, New York is saved.
But what about the lights in the station?

They're hard-wired into
the generator, aren't they?

We're screwed, right?

Doc! Hicks!

What happened?

Oh. It's time.

SKYLAR: Run! KAT:
Get out of the building!
