Emergence (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 13 - Killshot Pt. 2 - full transcript

Previously on "Emergence"...
What's it been,
like, a year for you guys?

You have to retrain
your brain.

This person who was
really important in your life

isn't supposed to be.

But they still are.

Francis offered me a job.
In D.C.

Nothing's decided yet.

You know, I'm not crazy
about you doing this alone.

I'm not going alone anyway.
Brooks is going, too.

Mm

Jo, it's her.



My name is Loretta.

I made Helen.

I built a device
that can effectively end Helen.

In exchange
for Piper's code.

My purpose
was to collect data.

And then at an appointed time,
the data would be uploaded.

There's a power source,

like a very powerful battery

that Helen needs
to facilitate the upload.

She's gonna
want this back.

Helen isn't like
the others.

She cannot be stopped
with conventional means.

I want what Piper has.

Piper's abilities
are unique.



I want you
to replicate them.

As soon as she gets
what she wants,

she will kill us both.

We need Benny.

If we don't help her,
she won't come home.

Brooks?

Do you hear that?

We gotta get
the hell out of here.

You see anything
to bust this open?

Come on.

Here. Brooks. Here.

Brooks.

You want me to try it?
Just wait.

Oh, my God.
We gotta go.

Okay.

Come on.

Southold Dispatch
to Marine Zero-One-Zero.

Chief, you on the air?

Alright, keep trying.
Okay.

Hey, Chris.
Southold Dispatch
to Marine Zero-One-Zero.

Hey.
Hey.

What's wrong?

Where's Jo?

Piper thinks
she might be in trouble.

Um...they took a boat
to Plum Island.

They think Helen
might be holed up there.

And she left me this.

Why?

Supposed to
keep it safe.

Can I see that?

This is me.

Yeah.
That's what Benny said.

Can I go to the bathroom?

Sure. Yeah.

Hello, Piper.

What are you doing here?

I'm just wondering

if I'm wrong about you.

I don't think I am.

You're not wrong.

Okay.

She took the boat
from the Marine Division.

They were gonna land
on the east side of the island

to avoid detection.

She said she'd check in,

but I haven't heard from them
in a couple hours.

Don't be mad,

Okay.

Benny,
get back in the cell now.

We need him.

This is why
you guys are here?

Little bit.

Okay, no.

No, I'm not releasing anyone
on the word of of a kid.

If Helen isn't stopped,
then Piper and I are both gone.

We'll both be uploaded

and nothing can be done
to reverse it.

Okay.
You think she's

Shh!

This place is a maze,
but I think...

if we just keep heading east,

then we'll hit an exit
eventually.

No signal. You?

Brooks.
Are you bleeding?

I am?
Yeah.

Must've popped a stitch.
Come here.

Okay. Let me see it.

Oh, yeah.
I'm sorry.

It's fine.

We gotta keep moving.

Helen got an upgrade.

Yeah, from Emily.

If she can do this...

I'm betting that killshot
is useless now.

We might've given Loretta
Piper's code for nothing.

I didn't give her
Piper's code.

That disk is the one Emily sent
when she was trying to kill her.

Loretta's not gonna be happy
about that.

Well, good.

We just gotta
get out of here

and figure out a way
off this island

Ooh!
Where is it? Where is it?

Where is it?
Wait What

No.

No, no. Ow!

Brooks!
Aah, aah, aah, aah!

Aah! Oh!

I got it. I got it.
Aah!

Mnh!

I'm gonna cut it out.

Okay.

Mnh!

Aah!

Are you okay?

Yeah.

We gotta get the hell
out of here.

Which way?
Up this way, to the right.

Stop!
Get your hands up!

Jo, wait!
It's not what you think!

Hey! Hey!

What?
It's all good!
He's with us!

What?!
Jo! Jo! We found you!

Piper! Okay.
Jo! Jo!

-Okay, okay, okay.
-Okay, come on.

Go in there
with Agent Brooks.

Go! Go, go!

Uh...

What is this?

They used to experiment
on animal diseases here.

Rumor is they were trying
to weaponize anthrax.

Still sounds safer
than out here, though.

Does it?

Does it sound safer?
Get in.

Alright.

Somebody better tell me

who thought this field trip
was a good idea

because I'm gonna kill them.

We're rescuing you.

Look, your boat
is back in Southold.

A person matching
Emily's description

was seen disembarking.

You would've
been trapped here.

You're hurt.

I'm fine, Piper.

So what you thought
that maybe bringing a criminal

and a kid for backup
was a solid plan?

Super powered kid.
Alex.

Where is Helen?
Well, let's see.

Uh, she's acquired
the ability

to turn into
about a billion nanobots,

so she could be
literally anywhere.

What?

We need to get off
this island.

You have a boat, I assume?
Y-Yeah. Yousef's.

Docked on the east side
of the island.

Alright.

You stay with me
at all times,

and whatever I tell you to do,
you listen, okay?

But not like
you normally listen.

Actually listening.

I'm not afraid.

You know what?

This time, you need to be.
Come on.

We can't just run, Jo.

I need you to stop talking.

Helen can still initiate
the upload

Not without this, she can't.
That'll just delay her.

Give me the weapon.
I'll go after her.

Are you gonna stop talking,

or do I have to make you
stop talking?

Look, we need
to think about this, okay?

If this room
is really sealed,

it might be the only place
Helen can't get to us.

So what?
We just stay here?

For how long?
I don't know.

But if we go out there
like this?

She's just gonna pick us off.

One by one.

Hey. I'm home.
Hey.

Bio homework done.

She's gonna make
an excellent doctor one day

if she wants to be.

Great.
I mean, I don't know.

It seems like a lot of school
and a bad work-life balance.

Well, what the hell
do you know?

Where's Piper?

Uh...

She's, uh...doin' a thing
with your mom.

What thing?

Oh, no, no.
I-I wanna know, too.

Look, all I know
is that Chris

asked me to grab
that exabyte disk.

Supposed to keep it safe.

So that's what I'm gonna do,
okay?

Wait. Why does Piper get to do
a work thing, but not me?

You know,
that is definitely something

you should bring up
next time they're home.

I would be so good
at a work thing.

Ed!

Sawyer.

What's up?

Hey, I don't suppose
your daughter's home, is she?

Who are you?

Michael Denman.
Department of Justice.

And these are federal agents.

And we have a warrant
to search the premises.

Let's see it.
Sure.

You just read all that
till your heart's content.

Well, your daughter

has something that belongs
to the federal government.

I'm here to retrieve it.

Unless you just want
to hand it over.

Right? Save everybody
a lot of pain and heartache.

Anyway, you think about it.

Okay, boys and girls.

Come on in.

Excuse me, Ed.

Would you rather know
when you're gonna die,

or how you're gonna die?

What?

When or how?

Um.

Neither.

Nope. You gotta pick.

I, uh

I think when.

Because then
you can really make plans.

Sure.

It looks like
an auto-injector.

What's in it?

Something that kills people
like you.

That's not very nice.

I don't know.

Some kind of
special enzyme.

But she doesn't know
we have it, so...

that's one thing
we've got going for us.

But if she's made
of nanobots,

how close
do you need to get?

Pretty close.

Sounds like suicide.

Well, so is staying
in here forever.

It just takes longer.

We'll have to find a way
to sneak up on her.

Oh.

Right.

That's the plan.
Great Great job, FBI.

What's your bright idea?
Because I'm all ears.
Okay.

I have...
You know what?

...plenty of ideas,
first of all!

We're definitely not doing this
right now.

Is something burning?

Piper, stay back.

I got it!
I got it! I got it!

I think these wires
were tampered with.

What?

When?

Where's Benny?

He got it.
He got the killshot.

I need you to keep this safe
and keep them safe.

I'm gonna go find him
and get it back.

Wait
I should go with you

I need you
to watch my family, okay?

I still think
he's going to help.

Yeah. I know you do.

Stay put.

Keep the door locked
till I get back.

Hey, uh, Chief, I should
I should go with you.
Hm?

You know,
I don't think so, Chris.

Look, I-I know you think
I made a bad call here

Yeah, you did.

But when you're not around,

I have to do what I think
is best, and that's what I did.

I don't think I'm wrong.

Alright.

We're gonna have to
split up.

Alright.
And if I run into Helen first?

Run.

Hey, hey, hey.
It's okay.

It's a nice house
on a cop salary.

Oh, it's freakin' adorable.

Well, Mr. Sawyer,
I have to say...

you look okay
for a cancer guy.

Pretty okay.

You gonna tell me
you have a cure now, too?

Nah.

Someone does, probably.

Not me, though.

Sir,
we got a gun safe here.

Don't suppose
you know the combo?

Sure don't.

You know what would be
a real pain for everybody?

If the little girl's identity
were known to the wider world.

Kinda ruin everybody's lives.

You're not gonna do that,
though.

A guy like you
wants to be in the shadows.

All you want to do
is erase things.

You won't even put what you're
looking for in the warrant.

Dr. Abby Frasier.

I know you.

You guys really don't know
what you're up against, do you?

Hey, Georgie?

Get the drill.

Don't move, Benny.

You have to go back, Jo.

I'm trying to draw her here.
Think about your family.

Don't talk to me
about my family.

Where is it?

I'm not gonna give it
to you.

You're gonna
have to shoot me.

Fine.

You were in my house,
Benny.

We took care of you
when you were hurt.

How did I not know?

I never even suspected
that you were lying.

I wasn't.

Not entirely.

How can you say that to me?

Because I couldn't kill you,
Jo.

When I had the chance,
I couldn't do it.

I have the weapon
in my pocket.

I'm gonna take it out.

I could give this to you,

but I'd be condemning you
to death.

I'd rather not to that.

Please.

I can get close to her
and I can do this.

She'll kill us both.

I can do this. Please.

Just hide.
You're not wrong about me.

Okay.

Whatever happens,
don't come out.

I'm surprised to see you.

Well, you shouldn't be.

I heard you'd been arrested.

I was.

I've convinced them
to trust me again.

Piper let me out.

She's here.

With them.

That's a problem.

But one I can solve.

Where are they?

They're on the roof.

Let's get it over with.

Benny.

We are so far past this now.

Benny.

What happened?

Are you okay?

Oh, my God.

Benny!

Oh, no!

Okay...

Um...I...

Okay,
we need to get out of here.

Can you put

Put your arm around me, okay?

I'm gonna get you up.
We're gonna get out of here.

Come on, Benny.

Okay.

Okay.
I'm gonna go get help.

I'm gonna
No, Benny.

It's okay. Listen.
I'm gonna stay right here.

I'm gonna stay right here.

I'm gonna stay right here,
okay?

You're okay.

Look at me. Hey.

It's okay.

Chief?

We have to go.

I can't just leave him here,
Chris.

Chief,
we gotta go now, alright?

Okay.

How long has it been?

Five minutes since the last time
you asked, sweetie.

We should go find her.

Do you really wanna see
how mad Jo will be

when we open that door?

'Cause I don't.

I do not.

How long has it been now?

Mm. Too long.

She's okay.

She'll be okay.

I work with local PD
all the time,

and she's better
than all of them.

You're gonna tell me
about my ex now?

No. No. Sorry.
I just...

we don't need to worry
about her.

Yeah, I'm fully aware.

Don't be mad, Alex.
He just cares about Jo, too.

Right, Agent Brooks?

It's her.

Hey.

I need to see you and Alex
right now.

Benny's dead.

Helen killed him.

Did you get the killshot?

It didn't work.

Where's Chris?

Before he died, Benny told me
how to destroy the power source.

I need it.

Jo, where's Chris?

I don't know.
We don't have time.

Do you have it?

Yeah, yeah.

Take out your gun.
What?

That's not Jo.

Take out your gun.
That's not Jo.

How can you tell?

Shoot her.
Shoot her!

It was worth a try.

No!

We have got
to get the hell out of here!

Are you okay?
Piper.

Piper, you're the best.

The best.

It's gone.

She got the power source.

Come on!

Piper.

You're very brave.

Hi.

Yay.

Mm!

You were great.

You alright?

Yep.
Yeah?

She's gone.

Yeah.

Good.

It's broken.

What happened?

Is there a way
to stop this?

This is gonna be like a nuke
when it goes off.

We gotta get out of here
right now.

Alright,
we're at the east docks.
Piper, right now.

It won't be enough.

It will be too big.

Bigger than this building.

Bigger than this island.

It will go all the way
to our house.

And farther than that.

Yeah.

She might be right.

What do we do, Alex?
What do we do?

Alex,
there's gotta be something.

There's gotta be something.

We should just get out of here
as fast as we can.

I think I can stop it.

What?

Well, this is exciting.

It doesn't belong to you.
Ah, my dear...

it's more mine
than anybody's.

What's this?

No idea.

Okay.

Well, you win some,
you lose some.

Let's roll out, everybody.

-Wrap it up.
-Let's go.

Eh, what a shame,
Mr. Denman.

Wasting all that time
and taxpayer money for nothing.

Health is something
that everyone takes for granted,

right, Mr. Sawyer?

I'm glad
you're feeling good.

I hope it lasts.

Yeah, we should
we should go now!

I really think
I can stop this.

And then
no one will get hurt.

Piper...

Why do you have this?

I wanted to make sure
I could give it to you.

Piper, look at me.

We are going home.

Remember when we almost got hit
by a truck?

But I stopped it.

I made like, this bubble around
us, and we were safe.

This is much bigger than that,
though, sweetheart, okay?

I can do it.
Mnh-mnh. No.

I know I can.

It's too dangerous.
You can't.

We gotta go. Okay?

I already am.

What?

Piper.

What'd you do?

What is that?

It's the necklace I gave Piper.

She must have switched it
with the disk.

Why?

She doesn't think
she's coming back.

Okay. Look at me.

Come here. Look at me.

Piper.

Yeah. Okay.

Don't do this, okay?

Please don't do this.

Stay with me, okay?

Please.

I'm happy...

I was in your family.

No, sweetie.

No.

I don't believe it.

Jo...
Don't.

Jo.
Don't.

No, I-I Yeah. I know.

I need you to do something.

Take the bracelet
off of Helen.

Why?

She's a shell, right?

And I saw Helen become you,
so maybe...

she can become her.

Are you insane?

Maybe.

But this whole thing's
kind of insane, right?

And one more crazy thing
won't hurt.

Not if we can bring her back.

Okay.

Hang on, hang on.

We don't even know
that Helen's really gone.
Just wait.

Wait, wait.

Hello.

Hi.

Can we go home?

Yeah, we can go home.

A paring knife?

I had to work
with the tools available.

Well, you're a butcher.

It was some kind of bug?

No.
I wish it was a bug.

It was a nanobot.

I have those now.

Oh.

Do you know what that means?

Not yet, but...

Do you remember how Helen said
she could cure you?

Hard to forget. Yeah.

I think I know
how she was going to do that.

I'm still figuring it out.

I'll let you know.

Thanks.

So you woke up
as a different person.

How did you
turn yourself back?

I just thought,
"I just want to be me again."

And then I was.

Okay.

Now turn into me.

Okay.

No, no. Huh-uh.

We're not doing that.

Mom.
This is for science.

Mia, you just got weird.

Alright.

I can't believe
I have to say this.

Uh...no turning
into other people.

Now or in the future.

Okay?

Okay.

And the first time
the first time

I hear about
you doing anything like that,

I'm gonna slap that bracelet
on your wrist forever.

You would do that?

Test me.
See if I mean it.

She'd do it.

I'm just glad I'm me now.

Don't.

Okay.

Break out the champagne
if anybody's interested.

I love you very, very much.
Yes, please.

Yes, that would be gre

I gotta take this.

Hey.

Um...I'm sorry about Benny.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

I think
he probably saved my life.

Heard a lot
of radio traffic.

Boats landing on Plum Island
about an hour ago.

Somebody's cleaning up.

Who? FBI?

Uh, no.
I don't think so.

Such a jerk move, right?
Mm-hmm.

Who pays for that,
you know?

Not Justice.

They'd have to admit
they were even here.

You think they'll be back?

I think they wanted to stop
Helen, and we did that for them.

I think they really
just wanted Piper's code.

What she can do now...

just be careful, okay?

I know. I will.

Ouch.

I know.

That was one weird date,
Evans.

Yeah.

You know, I usually like
to save minor surgery

for, like, three months in,
but...

just couldn't wait.

Your family's incredible.
A bunch of superheroes.

Yeah. They're alright.

And Alex coming up
with that idea about Piper

Yeah.
He's a stand-up guy.

I like him.

Great.

I'm just kind of wondering
if there's still some stuff...

you need to figure out
with all that.

Brooks...

'Cause, um...

I'm kind of in trouble here.

So I'd just like to know.

When you figure it out.

Okay.

I'll let you get back
to your family.

Hey, you know how
you can change

your own programming?

Yes.

Maybe you can change it

so you can pick up your stuff
once in a while.

I would really love that.

Nope. Can't do it.

Oh, well,
it was worth a shot.

Think you're gonna be able
to sleep?

I think so.
Yeah?

Good.

Listen, I am really,
really sorry about Benny.

You were right.

I know.

Yeah.

Maybe someday
I'll see him again.

Mm.

I really don't think so,
sweetheart.

I have a question.

Okay.

What happens
after you die?

Oh, my God.

No way.

Nice try. Not tonight.

Go to sleep.
Mwah.

Wow.

Okay, good night.

"What happens
after we die?"

Come on.

I'm just saying a total ban
is an overcorrection.

When the fact that Piper
can look like anyone

that's very advantageous, Jo.
No. That's not up
for discussion.

Oh, come on.
She can do the "Face/Off."

She can do the "Face/Off."

That's a great argument,
but still no.

How are you still standing?
Huh?

I mean, I'm gonna sleep
for like a week.

I don't know
how to thank you, Alex.

It's nothing.

I was very happy
I could be there.

Um...

Listen, I know I...

rely on you for, uh...

you know, everything,
pretty much, and that's...

not fair.

Um...it's easy.

For me.
But it's not fair.

Jo...
No, listen. Um...

We worked really hard
to figure out boundaries and

and custody and how to be
good co-parents,

and I...um...

you know, I really want
to get better at that,

if that's something that
Jo, I took the job.

I'm sorry. This is not the way
I wanted to tell you.

No. It's okay. Yeah.

I got a really good lead
on a place, too.

Room for Mia.

Great neighborhood.
Walkable.

I think she'll dig it.

I was thinking maybe you and I
could talk to her together

when we're ready.

Yeah. No, absolutely.

Cool.

Alright.

Okay.
Alright.

Don't go.

What?

You know, don't don't
don't go.

Why?

What do you mean "why"?

If it's because
you love me...

and you want to try again,
then yeah.

Let's talk about that.

I'd stay for that.

If that's not
what you're saying, then...

Jo, what the hell
are we doing?

If you don't know,
that's cool.

I just can't stay while you
figure out what it is you want.

Okay.

Okay.

Did they use it?

Yeah. They did.

There's no sign
of Helen anywhere, though.

I know where she is.
Or...

where part of her is.

Look familiar?

I'm thinking.

You just executed
a search warrant there.

I don't get it.

W Helen's there?

In a sense.

It's not Helen anymore,
however.

She's the girl.

That's...bananas.

But I like it.

If it works.

I was just about to conduct
a test.

Let's see if we...
