Extant (2014–2015): Season 2, Episode 9 - The Other Side - full transcript
As Molly struggles after being infected by the virus, Ares makes his move on the GSC.
I went to space
on a 13-month solo mission.
I didn't come home alone.
The child, part human, part alien,
was unlike anything
the world had ever seen.
My other child...
- is a lifelike android.
- Mom?
He has become the prototype
for a new breed
of thinking machines...
called Humanichs.
These two extraordinary
new life-forms
now hold the key to Earth's future.
But where does that leave us?
Over 99% of all species
that have ever existed
have gone extinct.
What if it's our time?
Previously on Extant...
Run!
Shepherd released that virus.
A lot of the hybrids
have been exposed.
My son Ahdu is dying.
There are some... you cannot trust.
- Ares.
- And... Terra.
- Good night, Rabbit.
- Good night, Mom.
You have obviously done
something to his memories.
I was protecting him!
There are good Humanichs,
and there are bad Humanichs.
My upload is going
into all of those Humanichs?
- Lucky them.
- I never installed Lucy's limiters.
Do you realize what you've done?
Lucy is one of the bad ones.
Good-bye, Julie.
- What did I do?
- If I turn myself in...
they'll release Kelsey.
- Where's Molly?
- You killed her.
You exposed her to the virus.
You wanted me, Toby.
You got me.
God, what have I done to you?
Get her core temp down.
Up the RecMesc for the pain.
I need samples, full metabolic panel.
I need to run the viral DNA
against the database.
What are we looking for?
Oh, I don't know. A woman's
dying of a virus she created.
Maybe we're looking for a cure.
Doesn't look as if you have much time.
I would steer the conversation
quickly to the matter at hand.
How many hybrids
have survived the virus,
how many there are around the world.
Yes, Madam Secretary,
I know what we need.
Then go get it.
Sorry about all the...
poking and prodding.
You should study me.
Learn from me.
What I could've been.
I need to ask you some questions,
you know, uh, 'cause...
you're the only one
who can give me answers.
I gave you an answer.
They're not the enemy.
I can't take that on faith, Molly.
So you steal John's work...
to create an army of Humanichs.
Machines to hurt living creatures.
Soldiers, to win a war.
You want war.
They want peace.
You're wasting your time, Toby.
The human race?
Not worth saving.
You don't mean that.
I don't have time to say
things that I don't mean.
You killed John, didn't you?
I swear to you,
I had nothing to do with John's death.
You're gonna die one day, too, Toby.
You should try speaking the truth.
Does the soul good.
I need to know how many survived...
and where they went.
You want answers?
Well, first...
there's something I want.
So, I hear we have a problem.
- Lucy. Lucy is the problem.
- Care to elaborate?
She overheard us talking about
potentially shutting her down,
and she attacked me.
Well, you were talking
about shutting her down.
It's both human and Humanich,
is it not, the will to survive?
A-All due respect, I think
you're missing the point, here.
Lucy tried to kill a human being.
Not only does that go against
Humanich protocol,
but it raises into question
the safety of any Humanichs
with her operating system.
It also begs the question
why you were talking
about shutting her
down in the first place.
She was showing indications
of a very defiant streak.
We wanted to nip it in the bud.
Madame Secretary, I have two dozen
operational Humanichs, all on standby.
I want your authorization
to shut them down...
and to suspend activation
for a thousand plus.
Because they all have
Lucy's programming.
Yes.
No virus in the history of the world
has ever been 100% lethal.
Did you know that?
Humanichs are the ultimate
solution to the hybrid question.
Yeah, well, what's your solution
to the Humanichs question?
We have promised our allies
Humanichs who will be operational
and available immediately.
The hybrid threat cannot
be contained without them.
Now, I'm not a technical person,
but your concerns sound
like glitches that can be fixed.
So I suggest you fix them.
Fast.
Okay. So now what
the hell do we do?
We get those limiters
put back on fast,
and download them into
all those other Humanichs
- before they're activated.
- All right.
- We can't screw this up again.
- Ms. Gelineau.
There's something you need to know.
We have Molly Woods in custody.
She's dying.
What?
Her final wish is to see Ethan.
Dying of what?
We recovered the hybrid
bodies for research.
We're going to conduct some tests.
Ethan...
I'm leaving you this video log...
in hopes it helps you
fill in the blanks one day.
You're gonna be looking for answers.
You know, I still am.
I tried to be a good mother,
wife.
Didn't always come easy.
I don't know why.
My mother died
when I was about your age.
Your grandpa...
Well...
- you know Grandpa.
- Baby girl.
Baby girl!
- Daddy?
- One and the same.
Mmm! Brought you some cotton candy.
What's happening?
This is our very special day, you...
are going to have
the time of your life.
Take the restraints off.
Why, are we gonna play chess?
No.
Molly Woods has turned herself in
in exchange for your release.
Where is she?
- We're doing all we can for her.
- Doing all you can?
You mean like releasing a virus
that's killing her?
- Where the hell is she?
- In quarantine.
Now listen, you were there.
You saw them.
What can you tell me?
'Cause I need something.
Oh, you need something.
I'm not telling you anything...
until I see Molly.
Hey, let's play that Alien
game first, all right?
Okay. Can we?
Yeah, that's why
we're here, that's what I said.
Good to see you.
I wish Mommy was here.
Oh, well, uh, she had
to run some errands.
Uh, but, uh, this is our special day.
- Wait. That's Ethan.
- What's the matter?
Who?
Ethan, wait!
Come on, baby.
We don't have very much time. Come on.
Come on, baby let's go.
We're going to go this way.
I never meant to hurt Lucy.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
- Ever.
- And you never will, Ethan.
You're not like the others,
like Lucy.
You have humanity.
And the other Humanichs,
like Lucy, they don't have this?
I don't think so.
Ethan, when I changed
your memory function,
I was trying to keep you from
the pain of losing your parents.
Ethan, your mo...
Molly is very sick.
What's the matter with her?
Turns out that her
body went through some...
pretty unusual changes
after her pregnancy.
What kind of changes?
There are parts of the hybrids
inside of her...
that are making her feel
more like them.
Ethan,
Molly may not get better,
and the thing she wants
the most is to see you.
I'd like that.
But first...
there's something we need to do.
You sure you're okay with this?
I'm sure.
All right.
See you on the other side, bud.
Root core has been accessed.
Are you sure you wish to proceed?
Memory download is commencing.
I put the family in the space station,
they'd be safe.
- Want to try mine?
- Okay. Mom!
- You made me drop my ice cream!
- Have this one.
This is how my dad taught me,
and I fell a lot.
- Dad, let go.
- Ethan!
Did you want to teach me more?
Ethan!
Memory download is complete.
It's done.
Hi, Charlie.
Hi, Julie.
Hi, Rabbit.
I need tissue, blood,
bone marrow panels up now.
I need matches to Molly's results.
Tommy, bring up
the previous viral constructs.
Let's see if we missed anything there.
Naomi, we're gonna take
the little girl...
see if there's anything different
about her pathology.
I'm hungry.
Anyone else hungry?
Hey.
It's me.
Crazy couple of weeks, huh?
You, uh...
turned my world upside down,
and then you gave it a good shake.
But, you know what?
I wouldn't change a second of it.
You opened my eyes, Molly.
Y-You made me see things in...
myself and other people that...
I never would have found on my own.
That's what you do, you...
you make the world see things.
That's your gift.
You are the bravest
and strongest person...
that I've ever met in my entire life.
You fight this.
You beat this virus.
Damn it, don't you give up.
People, they-they need you.
I need you.
I, um...
got a bottle of scotch in my office.
That's my drink of choice.
They call it a game of chance...
There is no chance.
They call it a game of chance.
But here at the carnival,
there is no chance.
Here, everything happens for a reason.
In your line of work,
there are no coincidences.
That's right, little lady.
Now, you leave my daughter alone.
She's not interested in playing
any of your games.
Now, baby girl, if we linger,
we gonna miss the chance
to play Galactic Attack, huh?
Come on.
Whew, you never know
what kind of characters
you're gonna meet in a carnival.
I guess that's part of the charm.
Here we are.
Hey, what do you know about that?
That's Mrs. Caber,
the next-door neighbor.
Um, now, baby, here.
You get busy bringing these aliens
back to Earth, okay?
And don't you
wander off now, you know?
Gonna pay my respects.
- I don't want to be alone, Daddy.
- Don't worry, I'll be back.
Please.
Want to help the Galactic Attack?
Here's the thing about tofu tuna.
It tastes like tofu
that's been stored in dirty socks.
You ever wonder
what real tuna tasted like?
Every time I eat sock tuna.
Why I'm eating genetically
engineered tofu instead of...
What the hell?
Naomi?
I think you're looking for me.
That ain't half bad.
25 years old.
It's a gift from the president.
Let me ask you something, General.
How is it you make a virus like that
and not an antidote?
We didn't have the luxury of time.
And I didn't know that Molly was...
You care for her
quite a bit, don't you?
I hate playing catch-up.
Aliens.
Intelligent life-forms
from another galaxy.
I've seen some things
since this started
I never thought I'd see.
Seems to me,
it's not about what you see.
It's what you do about what you see.
Oh, well, this the, uh,
moral high ground
you're about to take again?
Terrorists aren't born, they are made.
They're made by dropping
bioweapons when you say
you have a peace treaty.
Or by wiping out
a platoon of your people
because you may
or may not have a shot
at a single high-value target.
Oh, so now we're talking
Second Kuwait,
- not about hybrids.
- I lost a lot of men.
And walked away from the fight.
It didn't seem like my fight anymore.
Something you learn when you're
the one giving the orders:
sometimes there are no good decisions.
It's just a lesser of two evils.
And from my seat,
that's the best that you can do.
Evil is still evil, General.
Even when it's lesser.
She thinks I killed her husband.
Molly does.
So do I.
He was my friend.
Your friend that just happened
to have an accident...
while you were stealing his program
out from underneath him.
Seems awfully coincidental,
don't you think?
Yeah.
And I don't believe in coincidences.
But you do believe he was murdered.
Yes, I do.
She can't you hurt in there.
It's a Faraday cage.
Faraday cages.
The copper in the walls
and the ceilings
block radio transmission frequencies.
It also blocks hybrids from emitting
electro-magnetic impulses.
Yeah. So don't worry.
We're not worried.
I want to go in first.
Just for a second, okay?
You will be all right? Okay.
Molly, I don't know
if you can hear me.
But I brought Ethan here.
I just wanted to talk to you first.
A couple things.
Things I want to say.
Things I want you to understand.
They were gonna shut
Ethan down permanently.
So I took him to save him.
And the reprogramming...
He was just hurting so bad.
I was so wrong.
I was so foolish.
But John loved you, Molly.
He loved you to the very end.
I swear.
The night he died,
he was so angry.
And he said I was being naive.
Molly, I...
I think I may have somehow...
gotten him killed.
He was right about the Humanichs.
He said I was making
a deal with the devil.
I've made so many
wrong choices, Molly.
But I promise you...
I won't ever do that again.
Where's my daddy? Daddy?
Daddy?
- Where's my daddy?
- Don't worry about it.
I'm sure he's around here somewhere.
- Hey! Wait, come back!
- Daddy! Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy?
Daddy!
Honey...
I remember now.
You brought me here...
so you could have your tryst
with Mrs. Caber.
Baby girl...
How could you?
Wait!
We do it and we do it now.
Wait.
What are you saying, Julie?
I'm saying I don't care what happens,
I'm not making
the wrong decision again.
Shut the program down, Charlie.
You realize
we could go to jail for this.
Yeah, I do.
Okay, just so we're
on the same page.
I need the security doors opened.
Of course, General Shepherd.
Happy to help.
Terra.
It worked. They thought I was dead.
We tried it Ahdu's way.
And now we do it mine.
All right, here's...
here's what I know.
John went to Humanichs,
he got in a fight with Julie.
Leaves, she makes a call
to some encrypted number.
And-and an hour later, John was dead.
No, Julie Gelineau is not a killer.
Yeah, but whoever she called...
Yeah, Anna, my colleague.
She doesn't have the authority.
No, whoever made that call
came from above.
But every time I sniff around,
the trail goes cold.
Maybe you're not inhaling
deep enough, General.
Don't you think that
I want to know the truth?
You know what? Maybe it's this...
presidential scotch kicking in,
but I actually believe you.
Sometimes decisions are made
that leave no fingerprints.
And there are people above me,
nameless people
who always get what they want.
- No matter the cost.
- That's right.
Did John have any enemies
outside the GSC?
What?
I don't know, man.
I'm just thinking out loud.
Yeah, one.
Who?
Nicholas Calderon,
but that was a long time ago.
Stop that image.
Pause image.
Go-go-go back.
Rewind.
Stop.
You've got hybrids.
And not the warm, fuzzy kind.
Security.
We have a breach.
Damn, another shut down failure.
Cancel the install.
I mean, the limiters won't reload.
How is that possible?
Evolution. They've changed.
Their-their decision trees
have grown new branches.
What I'm saying is do not
take them off standby mode.
And what we're gonna need to do
is begin a physical disassembly.
For real?
Yes, Carol, for very real.
Arms in one box, heads in another?
If we have to. And come on, guys,
we need to do this right now,
before they learn how
to turn themselves back on.
Attention.
This is a call
for the immediate deployment
of the Humanichs force to the GSC.
Repeat. This is a call
for the immediate deployment
of the Humanichs force to the GSC.

- Molly, it's been over...
- Weird how?
To be back in my body again,
but bigger.
- It was a mistake.
- It was like I was a bird...
A mistake?
This, what you've been doing...
I'm an astronaut! It's my job!
Yes, I-I did. I lied.
Turns out you...
Oh, there you are, baby girl.
You know, sometimes...
we see things and we misunderstand.
Yeah.
And you tried to convince me
that I didn't see anything.
You said I could
get cotton candy.
- I'm sorry.
- Sorry about what?
Because you got caught?
You lied to me, Daddy.
You brought me to this carnival
so you could see your mistress.
And you used your nine-year-old
little daughter!
It's not like that.
It's-it's complicated.
You were screwing the neighbor.
What's so complicated about that?
Then you should have said something.
Not screwed your lab assistant
in our house!
Go ahead. Answer it.
You answer it...
and they tell you about the crash.
And they tell you
that Mommy's dead.
Her car ran off the road
and hit a tree.
All while you were back there
with Mrs. Caber behind the ride.
So go ahead, answer it.
Answer it, you bastard.
_
I can't find my mom.
- I'm lost!
- Me, too.
I'm lost, too.
Maybe we can help each other.
There's your mom, right there.
No, she's not my mom.
- I want my real mom.
- Kid's lost, huh?
He's looking for his m...
Miss?
Hey.
You all right?
No.
- Mom, it's me.
- I have to go.
Mom? Please don't go.
I have to go.
Mom, I'm here.
I think my...
_
My special day is over.
I know who I am.
I know who you are.
Mom, it's me, Ethan.
I'm here. Please don't go.
This is Julie,
leave a message at the beep.
Incoming call.
Incoming call. Incoming call.
This is Tobias Shepherd.
Uh, hello, sir.
This is a code red.
We have hybrids here in the GSC.
We've had casualties already.
Their intent is clear.
If you don't deploy
the Humanichs now,
I have to assume that
the casualty rate here will be 100%.
- But Julie and Ethan are there.
- Along with about 700 others.
All counting on you.
Take them off standby.
And God help us.
Mommy?
_
- What's wrong with her?
- Medical alert.
Code blue. Life functions critical.
We're under attack. I need
to take you to a secure bunker.
This woman needs a doctor now!
That's impossible, we're in lockdown.
- Mom! Somebody do something!
- Medical alert. Code blue.
Life functions critical.
You don't have to take
that ride right now, baby girl.
I made up my mind.
What are you doing?
She's trying to decide whether
she's gonna take that ride.
- Why?
- Uh, she's given up on us.
- Ah, the easy way out.
- Mm, looks like it.
Eh, why bother?
So you both are a part of me,
projections of my thoughts
and feelings, right?
So why don't you tell me why
I shouldn't get on this ride?
Hey, hey, you're right, baby girl.
People are hopeless.
They make mistakes
that they don't learn from,
and even when we try to help them,
they screw up again.
- This is your idea of helping?
- Molly, y-you can give up.
And you have every right to do so.
But here's the thing about this world.
Now, you may decide that, uh,
things will never change,
and there's nothing
you can do about it,
and you still try
your best anyway, huh?
That's what keeps us
from going under.
It's the struggle.
Mistakes are what makes
us human. All of us.
But forgiveness,
that gives us humanity.
It's time, baby girl.
It's time to forgive me,
forgive John and forgive yourself.
I should have been
a better wife and mother.
Eh, you and everybody else
on the planet.
John cheated on me, Daddy.
I couldn't forgive him.
Just like I couldn't
forgive you.
Loving doesn't come easy to me.
Can't you see, Daddy?
I've been running from you
and Mrs. Caber...
my whole life.
Room for one more.
Wait, baby, come on,
you can't change the past,
but you can change the future.
You are the future.
With you, the human race evolves.
Without you...
Time's running out here, doll.
Mom, Mom. Don't go.
Ethan?
Okay, wait.
I want to go back...
I want to go back!
Let me go back!
- I want to go...
- It's too late, lady.
You've made your choice.
Mom, wake up.
Please wake up.
She's gone, honey.
No. No!
- We have to go now.
- No, I won't.
Let's go. Let's go. Now!
There's poetry to it, isn't there?
They make a virus to destroy us,
we release viruses to destroy them.
Hey, we're counting on you.
System overload.
System overload.

- Where's Molly?
- You killed her.
You exposed her to the virus.
You wanted me, Toby.
You got me.
God, what have I done to you?
Get her core temp down.
Up the RecMesc for the pain.
I need samples, full metabolic panel.
I need to run the viral DNA

Okay. Can we?
Yeah, that's why
we're here, that's what I said.
Good to see you.
I wish Mommy was here.
Oh, well, uh, she had
to run some errands.
Uh, but, uh, this is our special day.
- Wait. That's Ethan.
- What's the matter?
Who?
Ethan, wait!
Come on, baby.
We don't have very much time. Come on.
Come on, baby let's go.
We're going to go this way.
I never meant to hurt Lucy.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
- Ever.
- And you never will, Ethan.
You're not like the others,
like Lucy.
You have humanity.
And the other Humanichs,
like Lucy, they don't have this?
I don't think so.
Ethan, when I changed
your memory function,
I was trying to keep you from
the pain of losing your parents.
Ethan, your mo...
Molly is very sick.
What's the matter with her?
Turns out that her
body went through some...
pretty unusual changes
after her pregnancy.
What kind of changes?
There are parts of the hybrids
inside of her...
that are making her feel
more like them.
Ethan,
Molly may not get better,
and the thing she wants
the most is to see you.
I'd like that.
But first...
there's something we need to do.
You sure you're okay with this?
I'm sure.
All right.
See you on the other side, bud.
Root core has been accessed.
Are you sure you wish to proceed?
Memory download is commencing.
I put the family in the space station,
they'd be safe.
- Want to try mine?
- Okay. Mom!
- You made me drop my ice cream!
- Have this one.
This is how my dad taught me,
and I fell a lot.
- Dad, let go.
- Ethan!
Did you want to teach me more?
Ethan!
Memory download is complete.
It's done.
Hi, Charlie.
Hi, Julie.
Hi, Rabbit.
I need tissue, blood,
bone marrow panels up now.
I need matches to Molly's results.
Tommy, bring up
the previous viral constructs.
Let's see if we missed anything there.
Naomi, we're gonna take
the little girl...
see if there's anything different
about her pathology.
I'm hungry.
Anyone else hungry?
Hey.
It's me.
Crazy couple of weeks, huh?
You, uh...
turned my world upside down,
and then you gave it a good shake.
But, you know what?
I wouldn't change a second of it.
You opened my eyes, Molly.
Y-You made me see things in...
myself and other people that...
I never would have found on my own.
That's what you do, you...
you make the world see things.
That's your gift.
You are the bravest
and strongest person...
that I've ever met in my entire life.
You fight this.
You beat this virus.
Damn it, don't you give up.
People, they-they need you.
I need you.
I, um...
got a bottle of scotch in my office.
That's my drink of choice.
They call it a game of chance...
There is no chance.
They call it a game of chance.
But here at the carnival,
there is no chance.
Here, everything happens for a reason.
In your line of work,
there are no coincidences.
That's right, little lady.
Now, you leave my daughter alone.
She's not interested in playing
any of your games.
Now, baby girl, if we linger,
we gonna miss the chance
to play Galactic Attack, huh?
Come on.
Whew, you never know
what kind of characters
you're gonna meet in a carnival.
I guess that's part of the charm.
Here we are.
Hey, what do you know about that?
That's Mrs. Caber,
the next-door neighbor.
Um, now, baby, here.
You get busy bringing these aliens
back to Earth, okay?
And don't you
wander off now, you know?
Gonna pay my respects.
- I don't want to be alone, Daddy.
- Don't worry, I'll be back.
Please.
Want to help the Galactic Attack?
Here's the thing about tofu tuna.
It tastes like tofu
that's been stored in dirty socks.
You ever wonder
what real tuna tasted like?
Every time I eat sock tuna.
Why I'm eating genetically
engineered tofu instead of...
What the hell?
Naomi?
I think you're looking for me.
That ain't half bad.
25 years old.
It's a gift from the president.
Let me ask you something, General.
How is it you make a virus like that
and not an antidote?
We didn't have the luxury of time.
And I didn't know that Molly was...
You care for her
quite a bit, don't you?
I hate playing catch-up.
Aliens.
Intelligent life-forms
from another galaxy.
I've seen some things
since this started
I never thought I'd see.
Seems to me,
it's not about what you see.
It's what you do about what you see.
Oh, well, this the, uh,
moral high ground
you're about to take again?
Terrorists aren't born, they are made.
They're made by dropping
bioweapons when you say
you have a peace treaty.
Or by wiping out
a platoon of your people
because you may
or may not have a shot
at a single high-value target.
Oh, so now we're talking
Second Kuwait,
- not about hybrids.
- I lost a lot of men.
And walked away from the fight.
It didn't seem like my fight anymore.
Something you learn when you're
the one giving the orders:
sometimes there are no good decisions.
It's just a lesser of two evils.
And from my seat,
that's the best that you can do.
Evil is still evil, General.
Even when it's lesser.
She thinks I killed her husband.
Molly does.
So do I.
He was my friend.
Your friend that just happened
to have an accident...
while you were stealing his program
out from underneath him.
Seems awfully coincidental,
don't you think?
Yeah.
And I don't believe in coincidences.
But you do believe he was murdered.
Yes, I do.
She can't you hurt in there.
It's a Faraday cage.
Faraday cages.
The copper in the walls
and the ceilings
block radio transmission frequencies.
It also blocks hybrids from emitting
electro-magnetic impulses.
Yeah. So don't worry.
We're not worried.
I want to go in first.
Just for a second, okay?
You will be all right? Okay.
Molly, I don't know
if you can hear me.
But I brought Ethan here.
I just wanted to talk to you first.
A couple things.
Things I want to say.
Things I want you to understand.
They were gonna shut
Ethan down permanently.
So I took him to save him.
And the reprogramming...
He was just hurting so bad.
I was so wrong.
I was so foolish.
But John loved you, Molly.
He loved you to the very end.
I swear.
The night he died,
he was so angry.
And he said I was being naive.
Molly, I...
I think I may have somehow...
gotten him killed.
He was right about the Humanichs.
He said I was making
a deal with the devil.
I've made so many
wrong choices, Molly.
But I promise you...
I won't ever do that again.
Where's my daddy? Daddy?
Daddy?
- Where's my daddy?
- Don't worry about it.
I'm sure he's around here somewhere.
- Hey! Wait, come back!
- Daddy! Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy!
Daddy?
Daddy!
Honey...
I remember now.
You brought me here...
so you could have your tryst
with Mrs. Caber.
Baby girl...
How could you?
Wait!
We do it and we do it now.
Wait.
What are you saying, Julie?
I'm saying I don't care what happens,
I'm not making
the wrong decision again.
Shut the program down, Charlie.
You realize
we could go to jail for this.
Yeah, I do.
Okay, just so we're
on the same page.
I need the security doors opened.
Of course, General Shepherd.
Happy to help.
Terra.
It worked. They thought I was dead.
We tried it Ahdu's way.
And now we do it mine.
All right, here's...
here's what I know.
John went to Humanichs,
he got in a fight with Julie.
Leaves, she makes a call
to some encrypted number.
And-and an hour later, John was dead.
No, Julie Gelineau is not a killer.
Yeah, but whoever she called...
Yeah, Anna, my colleague.
She doesn't have the authority.
No, whoever made that call
came from above.
But every time I sniff around,
the trail goes cold.
Maybe you're not inhaling
deep enough, General.
Don't you think that
I want to know the truth?
You know what? Maybe it's this...
presidential scotch kicking in,
but I actually believe you.
Sometimes decisions are made
that leave no fingerprints.
And there are people above me,
nameless people
who always get what they want.
- No matter the cost.
- That's right.
Did John have any enemies
outside the GSC?
What?
I don't know, man.
I'm just thinking out loud.
Yeah, one.
Who?
Nicholas Calderon,
but that was a long time ago.
Stop that image.
Pause image.
Go-go-go back.
Rewind.
Stop.
You've got hybrids.
And not the warm, fuzzy kind.
Security.
We have a breach.
Damn, another shut down failure.
Cancel the install.
I mean, the limiters won't reload.
How is that possible?
Evolution. They've changed.
Their-their decision trees
have grown new branches.
What I'm saying is do not
take them off standby mode.
And what we're gonna need to do
is begin a physical disassembly.
For real?
Yes, Carol, for very real.
Arms in one box, heads in another?
If we have to. And come on, guys,
we need to do this right now,
before they learn how
to turn themselves back on.
Attention.
This is a call
for the immediate deployment
of the Humanichs force to the GSC.
Repeat. This is a call
for the immediate deployment
of the Humanichs force to the GSC.

- Molly, it's been over...
- Weird how?
To be back in my body again,
but bigger.
- It was a mistake.
- It was like I was a bird...
A mistake?
This, what you've been doing...
I'm an astronaut! It's my job!
Yes, I-I did. I lied.
Turns out you...
Oh, there you are, baby girl.
You know, sometimes...
we see things and we misunderstand.
Yeah.
And you tried to convince me
that I didn't see anything.
You said I could
get cotton candy.
- I'm sorry.
- Sorry about what?
Because you got caught?
You lied to me, Daddy.
You brought me to this carnival
so you could see your mistress.
And you used your nine-year-old
little daughter!
It's not like that.
It's-it's complicated.
You were screwing the neighbor.
What's so complicated about that?
Then you should have said something.
Not screwed your lab assistant
in our house!
Go ahead. Answer it.
You answer it...
and they tell you about the crash.
And they tell you
that Mommy's dead.
Her car ran off the road
and hit a tree.
All while you were back there
with Mrs. Caber behind the ride.
So go ahead, answer it.
Answer it, you bastard.
_
I can't find my mom.
- I'm lost!
- Me, too.
I'm lost, too.
Maybe we can help each other.
There's your mom, right there.
No, she's not my mom.
- I want my real mom.
- Kid's lost, huh?
He's looking for his m...
Miss?
Hey.
You all right?
No.
- Mom, it's me.
- I have to go.
Mom? Please don't go.
I have to go.
Mom, I'm here.
I think my...
_
My special day is over.
I know who I am.
I know who you are.
Mom, it's me, Ethan.
I'm here. Please don't go.
This is Julie,
leave a message at the beep.
Incoming call.
Incoming call. Incoming call.
This is Tobias Shepherd.
Uh, hello, sir.
This is a code red.
We have hybrids here in the GSC.
We've had casualties already.
Their intent is clear.
If you don't deploy
the Humanichs now,
I have to assume that
the casualty rate here will be 100%.
- But Julie and Ethan are there.
- Along with about 700 others.
All counting on you.
Take them off standby.
And God help us.
Mommy?
_
- What's wrong with her?
- Medical alert.
Code blue. Life functions critical.
We're under attack. I need
to take you to a secure bunker.
This woman needs a doctor now!
That's impossible, we're in lockdown.
- Mom! Somebody do something!
- Medical alert. Code blue.
Life functions critical.
You don't have to take
that ride right now, baby girl.
I made up my mind.
What are you doing?
She's trying to decide whether
she's gonna take that ride.
- Why?
- Uh, she's given up on us.
- Ah, the easy way out.
- Mm, looks like it.
Eh, why bother?
So you both are a part of me,
projections of my thoughts
and feelings, right?
So why don't you tell me why
I shouldn't get on this ride?
Hey, hey, you're right, baby girl.
People are hopeless.
They make mistakes
that they don't learn from,
and even when we try to help them,
they screw up again.
- This is your idea of helping?
- Molly, y-you can give up.
And you have every right to do so.
But here's the thing about this world.
Now, you may decide that, uh,
things will never change,
and there's nothing
you can do about it,
and you still try
your best anyway, huh?
That's what keeps us
from going under.
It's the struggle.
Mistakes are what makes
us human. All of us.
But forgiveness,
that gives us humanity.
It's time, baby girl.
It's time to forgive me,
forgive John and forgive yourself.
I should have been
a better wife and mother.
Eh, you and everybody else
on the planet.
John cheated on me, Daddy.
I couldn't forgive him.
Just like I couldn't
forgive you.
Loving doesn't come easy to me.
Can't you see, Daddy?
I've been running from you
and Mrs. Caber...
my whole life.
Room for one more.
Wait, baby, come on,
you can't change the past,
but you can change the future.
You are the future.
With you, the human race evolves.
Without you...
Time's running out here, doll.
Mom, Mom. Don't go.
Ethan?
Okay, wait.
I want to go back...
I want to go back!
Let me go back!
- I want to go...
- It's too late, lady.
You've made your choice.
Mom, wake up.
Please wake up.
She's gone, honey.
No. No!
- We have to go now.
- No, I won't.
Let's go. Let's go. Now!
There's poetry to it, isn't there?
They make a virus to destroy us,
we release viruses to destroy them.
Hey, we're counting on you.
System overload.
System overload.
