Ingress: The Animation (2018–2019): Season 1, Episode 7 - Nature - Civilization - Soul - full transcript
There’re so many of them!
Now or never!
Stop!
Hank!
Everything rests
on decoding Sarah’s signals.
Yes, sir.
Go!
Field operations commencing.
Time to move, Agent.
You should see the other guy.
Hank. I owe you one.
Are you able to flash forward?
No good.
I can’t do anything on Enlightened turf.
We won’t last here.
Let’s regroup with the others.
We’re in bad shape.
How’re things looking?
Pretty rough.
Best we can do is dig in and...
They’re gonna collapse
the whole damn cave!
Everyone, fall back! Take cover inside!
We will rise with flesh immortal!
Hold on!
A place this old’s gotta have secrets.
This kid struck gold.
The hell?
Shut up and help!
Fire!
Mission parameters achieved.
What the hell is this place?
A structure of indeterminate origin.
Unknown to even the Azmati.
Or perhaps forgotten.
We are in your debt.
Not me. Thank him.
The exit’s up ahead. Let's go.
I’ve been in firefights on each continent,
but never seen people like that.
They fought like they were
possessed by something.
The Collaborators.
The Collaborators?
Hulong. SE.
Two tiny pieces of
something bigger and worse.
Each one empowers the other,
and they’re wired in everywhere.
XM tech. Arms manufacturing.
Police. Politics. Military.
They sit on company boards,
or in government chambers,
using what power they have
to gain more.
I call them “Collaborators.”
So you’re saying Liu is one of them?
I don’t know who that is.
But I wouldn’t focus on the individuals.
Study their methods and motives.
I don’t know what it is,
but there’s a reason you're here.
When you were captured by the Azmati,
you covered for one another.
That caught my interest.
I wondered why two opposing Agents
would work so closely.
And then you saved our lives,
leading us through a forgotten structure.
We’ll pick up the pieces here.
You two need to get to Switzerland.
Are you sure?
I’ve got a hunch you two
have a bigger mission to fulfill.
I’ll pull strings to get you a ride.
That'll get you on your way.
What's wrong?
It's just... something doesn't feel right.
If they want to milk this conflict
for profit, why nearly wipe out one side?
They can't play their game without
both teams up and running.
That’s true.
A Dark XM mine and some money?
That can’t be their endgame.
No. It doesn’t add up.
Antoine Smith here.
These targets were seen in the operation.
Have you recovered their bodies?
It is imperative those two are dead.
SE had only one objective: Dark XM.
You know the Azmati will defend this place
to the bitter end. And beyond.
I won’t jeopardize operations
for your hit job.
It’s much more than personal.
They’re working with the Azmati.
Obstructing our destiny.
If they escape,
your tiny mission will be lost.
Find them, and dispose of them.
Understood.
Dark XM?
What are you hiding?
This’ll get you to the airstrip.
She might not be the prettiest,
but she’ll do.
Time to hit the road.
Hank.
You said Dark XM affects the mind
and body. Tell me more.
It affects people’s cells, synapses...
even their genetic coding.
Had the Niantic Project gone as planned,
maybe we would know more.
Jack mentioned that project.
At CERN, we discovered that a signal in XM
alters the human brain.
But Dark XM has more volatile properties.
Physical ones. It can lead to death.
And I can only speculate
on its more extreme effects.
More extreme than death?
Dark XM’s a black hole.
Nobody knows where its power ends.
But I have a bad feeling
Hulong knows more than any of us.
Yeah.
Even worse. They’re actively using it.
What?!
The lab in Kyoto, the battle here...
I think they’re both part
of the Collaborators’ plan.
They've been researching
emotional manipulation and control.
And they’re incorporating Dark XM
into these visors
to make the effect on their soldiers
"more extreme," as Hank put it.
The Signals... Glyphs...
Now it makes sense.
Sarah’s ability.
The power to communicate
through the Portal network.
I’m sure that’s why they kidnapped her.
Early Resistance scientists discovered
that XM has an effect on the brain.
They called it a "Shaper Mind Virus,"
blinding themselves to its potential.
Their understanding of how XM works
on the brain was flawed.
As research continued,
they learned that Glyphs were the key
to shaping a mind.
Glyphs are control embodied.
A universal language influencing the mind.
You didn't know you could channel Glyphs,
but we did.
We also knew you could send thoughts
through the Portals.
But we needed to know how.
The project hinged on it.
From Glyph to idea to XM signal,
you've shown us every piece.
You're my perfect Rosetta Stone.
Oh...
And those messages you sent your friends?
We intercepted every last one of them.
You’ve been so useful to us,
and will continue to be.
Let me thank you personally
my dear, sweet...
Sarah.
So these are basically signal amplifiers.
I’m assuming the effects of the Glyphs
were too subtle alone?
Mix in Dark XM and you’ve got
a recipe for disaster on steroids.
Hulong needed lots of Dark XM,
but the Azmati stood strong.
They needed to use mind control
on their mercs to kill them all off.
Incoming!
Hang on!
Eliminate the two key targets.
Those visors are doing their job.
Can’t shake ‘em.
Do they know they’re being manipulated?
I wouldn’t bet on it, kid!
Outnumbered again? Gimme a break!
Hard right!
Barricade every route!
No escape!
-Roger.
-Roger.
No way out.
I’ll distract them. You two bail.
Roll out when we reach the woods.
The airstrip’s due west.
But what about you?
I’ll be fine.
They’ll go through a hell of a lot worse.
We all have critical parts to play.
Remember what you saw here!
Good luck charm.
Unlocked the right doors for me.
Hank...
Now go!
Jahan, sorry I had to pass along
that family heirloom...
But I suspect those two will need it.
And I’m not sure I need it for this!
Stupid bunch of fools.
That stupidity has allowed them
to survive!
They are Sensitives!
They're not like you knuckle-draggers!
We have to assume they’re still alive.
Get a security detail around the facility.
Spare no expense.
Yes sir!
You’ll lose...
because you underestimated them.
They got the better of me, I’ll admit.
But this isn’t over yet.
Still, what a shame to waste
such extraordinary Sensitives.
How far...
To the end of the line, wherever that is.
That is the path I’m carving.
We’re a lot alike, you know?
Just like you, I’ve had to suffer
for my abilities.
People fear greatness.
We carry our gifts like a curse.
Society shuns genius,
and lionizes the mediocre.
In order to fix that,
we have to change the world itself.
Mankind is scattered.
Drifting. So aimless.
And it holds us all back.
What it needs is leadership
from those who have a vision,
and the power to execute it.
People just like you and me, Sarah.
We could shape the future.
Just the two of us.
He’s gone.
We owe it to him to keep going.
We can’t let his death be in vain.
It’s gonna get ugly in Switzerland.
Rest up on the plane.
Your visor... is it the same one
the mercs were wearing?
It’s an older prototype.
It can't be used to hack your brain?
Won’t happen.
Brandt made this one personally.
I told you before that Brandt
worked with Hulong, remember?
They asked him to design a new type
of augmented reality visor.
One that could send a signal
straight to the optic nerve.
Even allow the blind to see.
But before he could finish it,
they pulled him off the project.
Until just now, I didn’t know why.
Do you think...
He tried to stop it.
Brandt wanted to push humanity forward.
He wouldn’t stand for mind control.
Something just doesn’t add up here.
Sure, they’ve got some super-mercs...
But why go to all the trouble?
It’s more than mercs.
They’re after something much bigger.
Didn’t you see all the ads?
They were everywhere in Japan.
Hulong’s launching a new
AR visor worldwide.
Every consumer in the world.
How’s that for a Collaborator agenda?
And they go on sale...
Tomorrow!
Millions.
No. Tens of millions opening their minds
to the highest bidder.
We’re on a deadline. Let’s go!
