Powers (2015–2016): Season 2, Episode 9 - Slain Dragons - full transcript

Previously on Powers...

I just want you to know,
I'm officially backing off.

Change your mind, want me to
step up again, let me know.

Morrison's not dead.

Morrison hasn't been
seen in over 50 years,

what makes you think he'd come back?

'Cause the bastard's an evil fuck.

Good catch.

A provocateur, hiding in the shadows.

A little tap here, a little nudge
there, governments falter.

People don't just come
back from the dead.



Krispin?

Commander Cross.

I'm no stranger to
problems with the mind.

Do you want to see what I
can do with my powers?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, fuck yeah.

Yeah.

What was that?

The fuck?

Oh, my God.

Oh, Supershock?

Diamond.

Hey, man.

This is a surprise.



Can I help you?

How do you even know where I live?

Nice place.

You know, Janice told me an
interesting thing about you.

She said you were a real character.

That you're all Powers.

Can you...

Well, coming from Janice, that's...

...that's a really nice
thing to say, thank you.

It wasn't meant to be a compliment.

You're flying around like
a bull in a china shop.

You're going to get
yourself killed, or worse,

you're going to kill someone else.

You know, powers are a tool.

What's this about, man?

It's not all you.

Think about them as any
other tool, as one of many.

There's other things about yourself
you should be thinking about.

Okay, thank you, man.

- I'm really, excuse me...
- Before you dive in head first,

and, you know, break your neck.

Good, good, I'm just a little busy
now, maybe we could...

- I'm... I'm... I'm willing to...
- My agent will call.

I'm willing to teach
you... a thing or two

about a thing or two,
as a favor to Janice.

'Cause I'd much rather do a favor
for her... than read about you

in the newspaper, that you...
you know, came to a bad end.

I'm sorry.

You're going to teach me a thing
or two about a thing or two?

I'm the Power, man.

I'm Diamond.

I'm the Power.

TWO YEARS LATER

We need a Powers ISO bubble
now, we need to ISO this.

It's getting worse, can... can
you tell us how this happened?

A wolf tried to eat him.

Damn.

I have to take this off him.

Diamond...

Okay. Let's do some pressure.

They have to. They have to.

Got it. Hand me a spider strap.

He's losing a lot of blood.

What am I feeling, Emile?

What's going on?

I want my power back.

I... I feel cold.

I feel... I feel cold.

Blood pressure's dropping.

I... I feel cold, Emile.

We're losing him.

- Hold on, Diamond.
- I feel cold.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Shit, he's flat lining. Fuck.

Get the paddles.

LOS ANGELES POLICE: INFORMATION
IN THIS RECORD IS CONFIDENTIAL

Where the fuck have you been?

At Supershock's.

He's lost his mind.

He's literally crazy.

What is...

Oh, I... I had to...
convince him that I believed

every crazy word coming out of his
mouth, just to get him to fly me back.

Walker...

He is dangerous, okay?

He's like a fucking nuclear bomb,
bouncing all over the Earth.

Yeah.

Without Janice, it's only a
matter of time before he blows.

- We got to stop him.
- No, Walker, Morrison.

No, Morrison doesn't exist.

- I've looked...
- The fuck he doesn't!

Kutter's in a coma
because of that asshole.

What?

No, that's impossible.

Did... did you see him
with your own eyes?

- No, I didn't.
- Okay.

But I'm going to find him, and
I'm going to fucking kill him.

Deena, he doesn't exist.

You see him?

No, I don't see anything.

Wait, what was that?

That's not him.

I think that's Rainbow.

I know her.

She's an asshole.

Supershock, the most powerful Power in
the world, has maybe lost his mind.

- Even if we find him...
- What?

It's just math. He out-powers us.

We don't know how
powerful Calista actually is.

I'm not at his level.

You don't know that.

We'll let's just say, for the
sake of argument, that she is

not as powerful as the most
powerful Power of all time.

I'm not.

And if Supershock is as cuckoo for
Cocoa Puffs as Calista thinks he is...

Yes.

All right, well, if Supershock is
losing it, then what can anyone do?

We need to talk to Walker.

Yeah.

Maybe he knows something.

Walker.

- Yeah?
- There really is no easy way to do this.

- Hey, Walker.
- The fuck is this?

The fuck is this?

The fuck is this?

What is this?

Are you fucking with me?

No, it's... It's me.

Krispin?

Yeah.

I...

That is Krispin Stockley?

That is Krispin Stockley.

Not his brother?

- I don't have a brother.
- He doesn't have a brother.

And he is sitting on my exam
table, and not in the freezer,

where we've been storing his dead body?

Yeah, well, I thought,
all things considered,

you might be the best person
to take a first look...

Yes! Yes, yes, yes, yes.

You...

You'll have to excuse me, but I
have never, and I mean never

had a live person on my exam table
before, let alone a reanimated one.

This is so exciting.

What? He's back from the dead.

I do think I'm allowed
to get a little excited.

Okay... but can you help us figure
out how he came back from the dead?

How on Earth should I know?

- Well, first...
- Walker, just... just tell me.

In the history of Powers killing people,

has something like me
ever happened before?

Not that I know of.

It's like a Twilight Zone episode.

A Power killed my dad.

A Power killed my mom.

- A Power killed me, and now I'm back.
- Hey, hey, hey.

We'll figure it out together, okay?

Okay.

Yeah.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

I would love some blood and urine.

Hey, IT guy, hacker dude.

- It's... Fuller, ma'am.
- Yeah, I know.

I could use a little bit of your
help digging into something.

I have been running around in
circles, following every lead,

and I could use your help
digging up better intel

about the property Detective
Kutter was shivved in.

- Yes, ma'am... detective, sir... ma'am.
- From what I can tell,

it's owned by a shell
corporation, which means

they're hiding something.

- Probably.
- And that something could be

the thing that leads
us to whoever it was

that stabbed Detective Kutter.

I am on it.

Okay, great.

And... I...

I just wanted to say
that I really appreciate

that you respect what I do here, and...

and... and I'm not
going to let you down.

I'm... I'm going to start the
work, I'm going to...

- Thank you.
- Get on this thing.

- Detective Pilgrim?
- Yeah.

Detective Walker wants to
see you in the morgue.

Thank you, Ka... Kaba...

Kabatov.

What the fuck did you just do?!

What the fuck did I do?
What the fuck was that?!

You shot him!

He was supposed to be dead.

Why did you do that?!

He was supposed to be dead, I
did the fucking paperwork!

Oh, what... What the fuck?

Is everything all right?

Oh, everything is more than okay.

Accident, though it may have been, our
fine detective may have just proved

that our young friend cannot be killed.

I'm going to win a Nobel Prize.

I'm a dad.

Me, can you believe it?

I'm a dad.

Vitals are normal.

Pain response is normal.

This is so good.

And I'm out of here.

Oh, no, no, no, Doctor, I need
you to confirm my findings.

Again, I'm sorry for shooting you.

No, I get it.

What? What?

- Get it! Get it!
- What's wrong with him?

I don't know. He'll be
okay, he's just not seen a...

What's happening now?

He's having a seizure.

He needs to get to a hospital.

What is wrong with him?

I don't know, I can only tell you
after he dies and I open him up.

I'm fine.

You are not fine.

- I'm okay.
- When was the last time you slept?

Have you eaten anything today?

Do you have blood sugar issues?

Have you had any contact
with an active Power?

Active Powers are all we've
been in contact with.

Well, there you go.

There goes who? What?

It'll be in my next report to you.

Every single Power that we have
contact with is technically,

if you think about it,
a biological hazard.

This room alone is
filled with dead Powers.

A Power that returned from
the dead, and an ex-Power.

I mean, there's just still
so much we don't understand.

There's so much that we don't know.

I think that there should
be regular check-ups

of all Powers Division personnel.

We don't know how this environment is
affecting our biological machines.

Well, I'm fine.

You can stop staying that, 'cause...

How many times has this happened?

It's not a number you'd be happy with.

Okay, you're going to see a doctor.

A real, living person's doctor.

I'm good. Thank you.

Hey, hey, hey.

That's an order.

I'm on him.

Come on Craig, this is
the best you can do?

You wanted quick cash, right?

This is what you do for quick cash.

Signing headshots for
collector fuckheads?

What the fuck?

- Hold on, Diamond.
- Sure.

This is cold.

Can I have a hot coffee? Thank you.

Diamond, listen, show business
is hills and valleys.

I'm not in show business, okay?

I'm a... I'm a Power.

I was... a fucking Power.

Don't kid yourself, Diamond,
you're in show business.

Listen, yes, this sucks.

This is what it feels like to
be on the balls of your ass.

But you'll get it back. You will.
You'll get your powers back.

- Bills to fucking pay, and... shit.
- Hey. Hey, I'm your biggest fan.

It's the easiest money,
someone like you can make.

- Walker?
- Fuck.

Walker? You still there? Walker?

Listen, you need to get to a hospital.

Before something
irreversible happens to you.

You hearing me with this?

Okay, I promise you I'll go.

Just not right now, okay?

There's too much going on.

Is Kutter okay?

Kutter is... is bad.

Kutter's very bad.

Are you okay?

No.

If... If people are going to start
rising from the dead,

that's going to be a problem
for us, too, so...

Okay, okay.

We slayed the dragon.

That is all that matters.

Are we good, with this?

- Okay.
- Yeah.

I can take your mind off of it.

Please.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

Okay, you ready for this?

Supershock killed the Senator.

Is... is that how far into Crazy Town we
are now, that that might be good news?

No. Hey, listen to me, okay?

- It's Morrison.
- I...he... I... Morrison stabbed Kutter.

Morrison does not exist.

Morrison is the one who we're looking
for because you started looking for him.

- I've looked in Supershock's eyes.
- I don't care about his eyes!

And I found...

What evidence do you have?
Any evidence at all.

- I found this.
- What?

It's a letter from Janice
warning us of this day.

What the fuck is this?

You don't have this in an evidence bag.

Well, I didn't know what it was at the
time, I was recovering from a coma.

Your fingerprints are all over this,
my fingerprints are all over this.

My fingerprints? I will...
I didn't mean it...

Fuck, it's fucked as evidence, Walker.

Fucked evidence of what?

- Fuller? You got anything?
- Yep?

- Working on it.
- Type faster.

Fucked as evidence of what?

Well, here you go.

It is Morrison. It is not
Supershock. It is Morrison.

Supershock?

Yeah.

Seizure boy here... thinks that...

- Is sure.
- Is sure, is sure that Supershock

is insane, and he killed the Senator,
because someone wrote

a... "To whom it may concern" letter.

Because Janice wrote it.

She did.

If a Power at this level is taking
the law into his own hands,

what the fuck do we do?

- Oh, shit.
- Fuck me.

What happened?

You see what happened?

No, I don't know.

Fuck me.

She alive?

Fuck.

She's dead.

So what, do you think she crashed?

Well, she didn't jump.
Nothing high enough.

So it's crazy windy today,
maybe she lost control and...

Maybe she was thrown.

What?

See the cloud formation?

Yeah.

It's disturbed.

Maybe there was a fight.
Something disturbed it.

She was thrown.

I'm coming, fuck.

Yeah?

Fifty phone calls.

I'm sorry.

Fifty.

I'm sorry I didn't call you back, I
just... I didn't know what to say.

How about, "Hi, I'm not dead."

I don't know what to say
to anyone anymore, Emile.

Imagine my surprise...

when I found this in the corner
of a double homicide crime scene.

Oh, shit.

Seems a hooker pissed off her pimp,

things ended badly for
all parties involved.

Do you know anything about that?

'Cause it's a pretty funny place to
find such an important part of you.

She stole it from me.

I don't want to talk about it, Emile.

It's... it's embarrassing.

Okay.

The case is closed.

Thought, you know, you might
like your uniform back.

This is not my uniform anymore.

You fancy a new one?

What?

You remember when Diamond would bring
me those great leads all the time?

You made me look pretty
good to my superiors.

You helped me a lot.

We helped each other.

Now we can help each other even more,

because I took
some of the good will

fairy dust that you
sprinkled on my head,

and I deftly worked some
bureaucratic magic,

and the city is seriously considering
opening up a Powers Division.

A Powers Division?

A division specifically working cases...

Yeah, I understand what you mean.

Interesting idea.

The only thing missing
is a star detective.

Emile, I'm not exactly a star.

And you're no detective. You're going
to have to go through the paces.

You're going to have to earn
your way in, but we need you.

They need you.

Who down here understands what
goes on up there better than you?

So swap this for a shirt and
a tie and a gun and a badge.

With your deep contacts,
your intuitive understanding

of what goes on in that world,

you can help a unique
department in a unique way.

I'm going to be really
blunt with you, Christian.

I think losing your powers was the
best thing that ever happened to you.

You don't know who you are, because
you had those powers to hide behind.

And for all the good that you've done,

and all the kindnesses
that you've shown me,

I would love to help you
discover who you really are.

Emile, go home.

Christian, come on.

Give it some thought.

Isn't this the same
one who

Calista messed up at her
big debut at the funeral?

Yeah, Rainbow.

Out of the way, detectives.

Oh, hi.

Well, maybe her powers gave out on her.

These are contusions.

This here and here...

happened before the fall.

There's no... there's no fist
inputs, there's no hand marks.

High-level Powers don't
need fists or kicks.

They're not regular marks.

I was a Power.

I left marks.

You were a... a seven.

I'm talking higher.

Sometimes when a higher
power hits a lower power,

they leave really interesting
contusions and marks.

See? Right.

Hold on, Doctor Marrs.

Oh, good, Doctor, you came back.

Hold on.

Hello!

What?

I'm just making sure.

If Powers are rising from the dead,
I want to get out in front of it.

Oh, it was... It was just that one.

Just that one.

My bad.

Bodies falling from the sky,
bodies coming back to life.

It's pretty much my nightmare
idea of a first day back at work.

Are you kidding?

This is the coolest day ever.

You might be insane.

Passion for my chosen
profession is not insane.

Dead bodies that defy the laws...

- Pilgrim.

Detective you asked us
to call you as soon as

there was a significant update on Kutter.

I'm happy to report that
Kutter is in stable condition,

and they are upgrading him
out of intensive care...

...but he's still unconscious.

We'll let you know when he wakes up,

but I thought you'd like to
know that he's doing fine.

All things considered,
he's really very lucky.

Thank you, doctor.

What... what's going on with you, now?

What?

I've been thinking about my seizures.

Okay.

I think they might be...

my body's way of
adjusting to some changes.

I think my powers might be coming back,

and the seizures are my
body's way of dealing with it.

It's completely possible, okay?

The building collapsed on me,
I was the only survivor.

I should have been dead.

Then the Lynx fight, okay, she
should have kicked my ass.

Walker, listen to me.

You just had a seizure two hours ago.

I know, but I feel, I feel good now.

- You feel good?
- Yeah, I feel strong.

- Okay.
- I didn't... I didn't go

for my full strength...

What the fuck is wrong with you?

I don't think you have your powers back.

Can we get on with our day now?

Hi.

Hello, Janice.

Did you find him yet?

Not yet.

Well, he's got to be around
here somewhere,

he can't hide forever, right?

Where was the last place
that you saw him?

You're not Janice.

No.

My name is Calista.

Where is she?

She's gone, sir.

Gone where?

She passed away.

You don't remember that?

I'm here to help you.
All I want to do is help.

Where's Morrison?

Who are you?!

Where are you hiding him?!

Where are all you
Powers hiding Morrison?!

Where is he?!

Who are you?!

You're not going anywhere!

I want Morrison now!

Okay, listen up.

No time for a proper briefing.

We have seven possible Powers bodies

that have just dropped out of
the sky, dead all around the city.

- Fuck.
- Seven?

Just like the one behind our building,
all within several blocks of here.

Seven Powers homicides
in like five minutes?

And same M.O.

That makes Patrick a
Powers serial killer.

- I think's Morrison...
- There are too many bodies

for the amount of personnel,
so detectives will have to fly solo.

Follow all protocols.

LAPD will be there to back you up.

Get the body off the street, ASAP.

If you see Powers in the
air, do not engage.

I repeat, if Powers are
dropping out of the sky dead,

you see the perp, you do not engage.

Your job is to keep the civilians
safe and to keep the streets clear.

Your job is not to play the
hero and wind up dead.

It's Supershock, Emile. It's Patrick.

Nope, sounds more like Morrison.

Why would Supershock be
killing all the Powers?

It's not. It's this Morrison
maniac. It's his M.O.

- Okay, listen...
- Patrick.

It... it doesn't matter... who or
what is doing this at this moment.

We just have to make it stop.

***

Yeah, let me figure it out.

Fuck.

It's fucking Queen Noir.

This fucking day.

I hear bodies are dropping
all over the place.

It's just you on this?

Yeah, M.E.'s got her
hands full downtown.

All right, call dispatch.

Tell them to send a wagon.

This body...

It's in my mouth!

It's in my fucking mouth!

Get me some water or some coffee!

- I got spray.
- I need something.

- Give it!
- Oh, what the...

You all... you all right?

Shit, you're going to puke.

I'm trying to. I'm trying.

Fucking give me...

Yeah, okay.

Hey.

Come on, Patrick.

Where are you?

I know you can hear me if you want to.

Why are you doing this?

How you doing?

So, yeah, if she doesn't...

I know that! Just leave me alone.

I can walk on my own.

On this way.

Jeez.

Excuse me.

Do you know where I can
find Detective Cross?

Wait, do I know you?

- Maybe.
- You look familiar.

It doesn't matter. One second.

After passing the required
Police Academy testing,

a special meeting of the City
Council has decided to include

Christian Walker's impressive
resume as Diamond,

which includes singlehandedly
bringing down

the World Crime Syndicate,
The BlackHurricane and Wolfe,

to promote him to the rank of detective.

And he will be assigned to the
city's new Powers Division.

You have the wrong guy!

To help keep the city's citizens
safe from any and all threats

from above and below.

He's recharging.

Oh, fuck.

On your feet. Let's get him out of here.

Hi. Yeah.

I'm taking this one myself.

Kabatov, forward any important calls.

Calista?

He...

he's going to kill us all.

Well, you don't have a temperature.

How's your vision?

Fine.

Okay, are you achy at all?

And you're sure that you swallowed
whatever blew up on you?

Yeah.

Okay, just make sure... we're gonna
send you off to the hospital, okay?

I can't fucking believe this.

Happened to this big dude I was
riding with a couple of years ago.

This blob of a Power just puked on him.

- Gary.
- Yeah, it was Gary.

He had X-ray vision after that.

Whatever happened to Gary?

Yeah, you... should get to the hospital.

Yeah, we can give you a ride.

Pilgrim.

Detective, good.

I have a strong lead on that
thing that you wanted me to check on.

It seems that property where
Detective Kutter was stabbed

belongs to a shell corporation
with a Holmby Hills address.

The original address was wrapped
up and hidden pretty tight,

but I have ways of accessing files

that most people don't
even know to look for.

Yeah... text me the address, yeah?

Yes, ma'am.

Sent.

And I just wanted to say
that I really appreciate...

It's great.

Hello?

All right, detective,
do you need a ride?

I'll meet you there.

Come see.

Hands in the air.

Come.

See?

You're just in time.

Front row seat to the fall of God.

We're looking for Calista, is she here?

Calista!

What happened?

Oh, my God, Calista, were you attacked?

He tried to kill me.

What?

Why?

He kept calling me Janice.

He's looking for someone
called Morrison.

He thinks we're hiding him.

Everyone I've ever loved
has died in my arms.

No one remembers I ever existed.

And my great shame is...

I was never able to really beat him.

But staying alive long
enough to watch him fall,

and by his own hand, no less.

That makes it all almost worthwhile.

Was it worth stabbing my
friend, you sick fuck?

Hold on.

There it is.

You didn't see it, did you?

You can't see him up there, flying
around like a little, lost puppy.

I told him, "I don't
know who Morrison is,"

and he grabbed me.

No, no!

I... I didn't think it was
going to be like this.

You're not going anywhere.

I... wanted my powers so bad.

I want Morrison now!

But I... I didn't think it
was going to be like...

How did you get away?

I never thought Supershock
would try to kill me.

Ms. Secor, where is he now?

I didn't know where to go.

I didn't... I didn't know where to hide.

I came here 'cause I... I don't
want to do this anymore.

I... I... I don't want
to have these powers.

I... I don't.

I don't want them. I don't want them.

It's a good day.

Stand up, put your hands on your head.

You're under arrest.

I know that look.

You want to kill me, but
you're not allowed.

Is your little friend dead?

Did he bleed on you?

Do I have the right to remain silent?

Babe, babe, you have to
come out of there, okay?

You don't understand what this was like.

I do.

I'm thinking it felt something
like when Wolfe attacked me.

You know, I... admired him so much.

He was like a father to me.

Next thing I knew...

Sinking his teeth in my
back, he's trying to kill me.

A lot of people died today.

A lot of good, talented
Powers, but not you.

You did something none
of the others could.

You got away.

I ran away.

No, you flew away, like a Power,

but now there are people
that need your help.

Your fellow Powers need you.

I can't. I... I can't.

Calista, I would give anything
to have my powers back

and get out there and stop this,

but I don't have them. I never will.

We need you.

I can't!

Maybe you can't do it alone,
but you're not alone.

She's right, and I shouldn't have
turned my back on you, okay?

You need my help, I'm going to help you.

The more I think about it, the
more I think that everything

that happened to you, everything
that happened to all of us,

happened for a reason.

All the pain, all the
bullshit we've been through.

The fighting, the agony,
the killing, the death.

All of it has led up to this
moment, right now, right here,

for us to stand together and
face this crazy motherfucker.

I think I broke your lock.

I'll... I'll pay to get that fixed.

Okay.

We're ready.

Let's do this. Let's stop him.

I would like to help.

Yeah.

Don't laugh at me, but I
think I might be a...

I'm a Power.

So, how do we kill the
highest level Power ever?

I'm worried about sending these
young Powers out there

without something resembling a plan.

We give him something he wants.

Everybody meet Morrison.

Morrison, everybody.
