Sanctuary (2008–2011): Season 2, Episode 6 - Fragments - full transcript

Previously on
Sanctuary...

This isn't a disease, Henry.

I have spent my adult life
working with abnormals,

but now I am one.

Look, I can't account for myself
when I'm that thing.

What if I hurt one of you?

The difference between
you and me

is you can control your power.

And in time, so will you.

Awesome.

You are such a dork.



You said, "No problem.

I'll take over the feedings
while you're gone,"

and then you crap out on me
before I even leave.

I know, but, hey,
secure networks tank,

I'm the go-to guy.
What am I going to do?

Yeah, last time I ask you
for a favor.

Okay, look, I can
still swing by there

after I'm done.

It'll be, like,
30, 40 minutes, tops.

40 minutes Henry Foss time?
Jack will die of hunger by then.

Come on, you know he's our baby.

Oh... Oh, that is cold.

I'm just saying.

Go catch your flight, all right?



Don't want to miss
your romantic getaway.

Oh, Henry...

If you can call
a biochemistry conference

in beautiful downtown
Blackpool romantic.

Yeah, well, you got to admit,
at least he's making an effort.

All right, you're right, my bad.

Besides,
I'm already at the lab.

Okay, you know what?

Just go, have a good time,
and don't worry about Jack.

I'll make sure he's...

Oh, my God, Jack? No.

Rachel, what's going on?

- Wait, Jack, stay there.
- Rachel!

It's okay, I can help you.
I can help you... Jack?

Dammit.
Rachel? Rachel!

Henry... help me.

Rachel, what's going on?

Help me...

Season 2 Episode 6

Henry!

It's on the run!

Load tranqs!

Oh, my God... You go
after Jack. I got her.

- Yeah?
- Yeah.

All right, here.

Come on.

Just hang on.

Oh, thank God.
Rachel? Rachel...

It's okay.

- Henry...
- It's okay.

The blood! The blood...

No, no, no, hang on.

Stay with me.
Stay with me!

- Henry?
- Hey, Doc?

- Calm down.
- It's Rachel.

She's alive,
but she's unconscious,

and she's been cut.

Are you gloved up?

Yeah.
Where's the big guy?

He's on his way
with a haz-mat transport.

I'll prep the O.R.

Do you think she's infected?

I won't know until I get her
into surgery, Henry,

but if the creature did
lay spores...

Yeah, I know, doc.
She's dead.

I'm two blocks out,
widening my perimeter.

Kate?

Kate, talk to me.

I saw something heading down
behind the Hill Warehouse.

How's her pulse?

It's rapid,
but it's kind of weak.

Do you think
you could pack her wounds?

Yeah, sure.
What do I do?

Right,
I'll talk you through it.

You need to find gauze
and forceps.

And, Henry...

whatever you do,

do not let her blood
come in contact with your skin.

Right.

I think the big guy's here.

Kate, are you getting close?

Easy, there, Gumby,
it's just little old me.

Kate, give me an update!

Four tranqs
and a concussion stun

to take him down.

Butt-ugly to boot.

Yeah, big guy's got her now.

They're on their way to you.

Doc, she was so pale.

I'll do everything I can.

Oh, my God, Gerald!

She was supposed to meet him
at the airport.

I got to tell him...

Henry. We'll call him.

I you need to stay there.
Scan and clean the room.

So lizard boy here
releases toxic spores?

Yeah, Henry's been working
with Rachel's team

for about five years.

Never heard of Jack
releasing his spores even once.

He's supposed to be tame.

Bad call.

We do a c-spine,
chest and abdomen.

Ready.

Give her one gram ceph.

Increasing oxygen to 40%.

Heart rate 98 and regular.

Pupils are equal
and reactive to light.

Abdomen soft.

Localizes to pain.

Kidneys?

- Clear.
- Good.

CBC, chem panel and gasses
were all within normal range.

Now, to the wound.

Oh, good, this one looks clean.

Let's hope they all are.

She's infected.

Dammit, the spores are active.

We need to get her into
quarantine before I can operate.

Hopefully I can get them out
before they multiply.

I have to try.

All right, I'm finished
with the holographic scan,

and I'm moving
to the eradicator.

All right, buddy,
time to go to work.

Dude, you left the door open.

Yeah, I'm a little busy
right now.

Just finishing
the DNA flame-out.

You hear that?

All right,
french fries are done.

Just bagging the goods now.

Okay, head for the back alley.

We'll pick you up
on the fly-by.

Just need a little more time.

The cops are coming in
the front door.

I'm almost there.

Get out!

Never enough time.

Get out now!

Was Will able to
get a hold of Gerald?

On his way.

Upset.

Of course he is.

There are too many.
Dividing too quickly.

Just stay sharp.
You have your medicine bag?

Yes.

Let's hope we don't need it.

Trying to domesticate
one of these things,

that's like putting C4

through the Play-Doh
Fun Factory.

I don't know,
it's cutting-edge stuff.

Gerald focuses on
its biochemistry

while Rachel studies
its behavior.

They make a good team.

What I've seen
of Jack's behavior,

he could still use
some obedience training.

The last time
I saw him with Rachel,

he was pretty docile.

She was even teaching him
sign language.

Well, hey, I'm no scientist,

but you teach a deadly abnormal
how to talk,

and all you'll get
is a deadly talking abnormal.

Is this the thing
that scanned the room?

Don't do that.

Need a hand?

No, I'm good.
I got a system.

Oh, I get it.
You can't go to the crime scene,

so you bring
the crime scene to you?

Yeah, best we can.

Do the cops have
one of these gizmos?

They wish they did.

So how'd you come up with it?

Will and me.

His specs,
my program, my design.

Still a work in progress,

but it's the best we've got
right now.

Is she a friend of yours?

I mean,
Magnus is on the job, so...

Rachel and I worked together
for about four years.

She's been helping me
to understand who I am,

what I am.

She wasn't afraid of it.

And the other guy is what,
her husband?

Yeah, he's like a brother to me.

Where's Rachel, Henry?

She's in the O.R.

- Is she...
- She's alive.

- Take me to her, please.
- Yeah.

Blood pressure's falling.

Give her a 500 bolus of saline.

Last one in this wound.

Oh, dear God.

The infestation's spreading.

We are too late.

We can't save her.

Dr. Magnus?

No...

Rachel...

Gerald.

I'm so sorry.

I'm putting Rachel into stasis.

To die?

To slow down
the progression of the spores,

give me time to work
on a treatment.

There is no treatment,
you know that.

Once the host becomes infected,

the spores regenerate
until the host is...

I'm not ready
to go there, not yet.

I'm going to fight for Rachel,
but I need your help.

What can I do?

I need your research

on Pleskidarsus
spore regeneration.

I may be able to create
a reagent.

But the chemical that
halts spore reproduction,

it's far too...

It's too caustic
for human tissue, I know.

I think I may be able
to find a way

to lessen
the toxic side effects.

Gerald... I need your research.

You can use my set-up.

Okay. Show me.

Okay, come on.

Henry's detailed scan
of everything in the lab

corresponds to bar codes
on the cardboard.

Now that we've
recreated the scene,

we can hopefully
figure out what happened.

It's amazing...

in, like,
a total geeky kind of way.

Wow, jealous much?

No.

All right,
so you be Rachel, okay?

So you enter here.

Henry hears you say...

- Oh, my God?
- Correct.

Uh, so I must see that you,
Jack,

are out of your enclosure.

Right, so I must have smashed,

forced my way out
before you entered.

I drop my cell phone.

Do you rush at me?

No, because the major
blood spatters are here.

Oh, right, right,

and the wounds
are on the front of her body,

not the back.

So for some reason,
you approach me?

No...

No, the trajectory
of the spatters...

Yeah, it doesn't match
the wound pattern

on Rachel's body.

Okay, uh, stand over me,
as if you're reaching for me.

- Like this?
- Yeah.

What do you think?

Well, you know, it fits.

Okay, so he's down here,
she's reaching for him.

Okay, well, the woman's
either crazy or stupid.

I mean, monster is loose,
you move away from it.

Yeah, unless
she couldn't believe

that he would hurt her.

But she ends up over here.
Why?

Well, it attacks, she trips,
slams into the drug cabinet.

Yeah, and lands right here.

And then it finishes the attack
and splits out the window.

Seems straightforward...
Ish.

Yeah. I don't know.

Nothing about this
seems straightforward to me.

She was so good to you.

I don't care if you're hungry.

Don't you realize what you did?

You hurt Rachel, Jack.

Yes, Rachel.
You hurt her.

Very bad. Bad Jack.

Very bad.
Bad Jack!

Yeah. You got that right.

Once I receive Gerald's data,

I'll start working
on the reagent.

In any case, we'll have
to extract spores from Jack.

How much time?

Even in stasis,

the tissue damaged by the spores
will necrose.

Her system won't be able to
handle it for too much longer.

Too young.

By far.

I'll collect the spores
from Jack.

Uh, just give me
a couple of minutes here.

I'm downloading my files
from my home network.

You need anything?

Right. I'll just, uh...

Look, um...
I'm not blaming you.

Yeah, I am.
I should have been there.

Henry... Not now, okay?

I just, I can't.

Okay, I'm sorry.

She's everything to me.

She's my life.

She...

Tell Magnus
all the data she needs

will be on her private LAN
in 10 minutes.

Okay.

Should give her a shot at...
God knows what.

Gerald...

Just-just go.

Stop! That's enough!

Damned animal!

What the hell, Ger?

It killed her, Henry,
it killed her!

Hey, she has a chance.

Nobody survives a Pleski attack.
You know that and so do I.

Ger, she has a chance.

She's dead.

Man...

I'm guessing he took the weapon

while he was working
in Henry's lab.

And the Pleski?

It took a couple of bullets,
but its skin is so tough,

I don't think there should be
any permanent damage.

The big guy's with him now.

What about Gerald?

He's a mess.
Henry's with him.

I should never have
left him alone.

Well, the guy works for you.

There was no reason to think
he was going to go that far.

Still, it should never
have happened.

Assassination attempts aside,
how goes it?

Well, ironically,

Gerald's research is proving
to be quite helpful.

Take a look at this.

This going to put me
off my lunch?

Now, watch.

Huh.
Well, that works.

We just have to administer
the right amount,

enough to kill the spores
without harming Rachel.

Right, like chemo.

But far more tricky
to regulate.

Have you figured out
what happened in the attack?

No. Kate's got something
she wants me to see.

I'm heading to
the mock-up lab now.

I know that look.

Rachel taught Jack
a form of sign language,

and I'm thinking of trying
to communicate with him.

Now, I know it's not
a conventional way

of gathering evidence, and...

I know what you're going to say,

that if you could teach
a lion to speak,

you still wouldn't
understand him...

Your dad's favorite expression.

Because... we often make
the egocentric mistake

of believing that abnormals
think the same way we do.

That their worldview
and logic patterns are similar.

In most cases, even with
the most intelligent species,

they simply aren't.

I know. Their whole
cognitive process is different.

Yes.

I'm... I'm just saying,

bear that in mind
when you have your... chat.

Okay.

How can you just sit there?

If that was your wife
on that table...

If the only person who really
mattered to you was...

I don't know where
to put all this, Henry.

It lives and she dies?

You tell me what you'd do.

Honestly, Gerald,
I don't know what I'd do...

You'd kill the damn thing!

You'd go all werewolf,

and you would
take care of business!

Wanting something
and doing something about it

are two different things, Ger.

Really?

You've never done anything crazy
in the moment?

Something maybe
you shouldn't have done?

This isn't about me.

And Magnus says...

I want to go down there
in case she...

I won't make any more trouble.

I can't leave you
on your own, man.

Well, then you find someone else
to watch over me.

Just not you.

Okay, tell me
what you see from here.

Okay, Rachel enters,
she sees the Pleski is loose.

Now, there's a tranq gun
right in front of her.

Right, she had a defense.

But she doesn't use it.
Why?

I'm thinking...
Because of this.

Item 163, what's that?

- A syringe.
- Containing what?

I don't know, but my guess is

she was going for it
when Jack attacked.

Okay, good, so she was trying
to inject him with something.

Uh-huh, and not a sedative,

'cause that's in the tranq gun,
which she passes on.

Okay, bing, bang, boom.

Rachel enters,
sees Jack is loose,

ignores the tranq gun

and heads straight
for the drug cabinet.

She drops the syringe
before she can use it.

Now the big question is...

What was in the syringe?

What?

Well... It's just that
I'm not totally buying

the whole ready-to-go
syringe theory.

Item 73, what's that?

Medicine of some kind.

I don't know,
I can't read the label.

Huh...

So whatever was in that vial...

Was what she was trying
to inject Jack with.

Right...

Okay, I will talk to Henry,

see if he can generate a more
detailed view of the 3-D scan.

All right, I'm going to go
check on Gerald.

- Hey, Will...
- Yeah?

This is what you did before
you came here, right?

Like fancy detective work,
CSl stuff?

Yeah, look, in the real world,
forensics is under-staffed,

under-funded,
and backlogged to the nines.

Oh. Well, score one
for the criminals, then.

Put it this way, if I had
this tech to work with,

you'd have been behind bars
years ago.

No, I wouldn't.

A new sign is deemed acquired

only when reported by
three independent observers,

namely myself, Gerald, and...

And, uh, me. Hi.

I'm trying to be serious here.

Yes, you should be
very serious.

- Very serious, so don't laugh.
- I'm not!

And don't smile.
Now, you focus. Ready? Go.

This woman is clearly insane.

Do not believe
a word that she says.

Okay, yeah, anytime.

You remembered.

Ha ha! Ta-da!

Watch out, watch out...

Dude, that is clearly not
going to feed three people.

Then you can eat
the melty bits.

- You're the best.
- Happy anniversary, baby.

Oh, wow, awkward,
and that's on film.

I'm going to be sick.

Okay, make a wish,
make a wish...

Done.

Yay! The energy...

The Gods have
blessed this union.

Wow...

She's beautiful.

What do you want?

Need to lD something
on the floor.

Sector 34. Item 73.

The label's hidden.

I know.

Looks like Rachel was
trying to inject the Pleski

with something,

though why she didn't
just tranq the sucker,

I have no idea...

Look, you don't know her,
all right?

Don't even try.

Dude, just trying to solve
a case here, that's all.

It's fine.

I'll enhance the area,
and I'll focus on the sector.

Just give me an hour.

Henry, I know
she means a lot to you...

Give me an hour.

Right.

Hi.

I'm... I'm Will.

Uh...

I'm sorry, never mind.

Are you hungry?

You're hungry.

But you have food.

It's there.

"Bad Jack?"

I'm sorry,
I don't understand.

I don't understand.

Anything?

Still working on it.

How was your chat with Jack?

Huh, turns out he doesn't have
much to say,

except I think he feels bad
about what happened,

which isn't very monster-like.

I tried looking
through the vial

to the label on the other side.
It didn't work.

Look, if you look at that
piece of glass right there,

it kind of acts
like a mirror, right?

Yeah.

Well, if you focus
on that sector,

kick up the rez,
flip it around...

Betamethasone.

Betamethasone?

What is that,
some kind of sedative?

No, it's just a common
immunosuppressant.

Are you kidding me?

She went for that
over a tranq gun?

There's got to be a good reason.

Yeah, I'm betting there is.

Hey.

I've given her
30 milligrams of the reagent.

We'll see how she responds
to the treatment.

We found something
in Rachel's lab.

I think she was trying to inject
Jack with Betamethasone.

What?
Are you certain?

She was going for it
instead of the tranquilizers.

Does that make any sense?

Actually, it might,

but it would suggest
that Rachel knew

that Jack's ACTH levels
were too high.

How so?

In Siberia,
the Pleski's native habitat,

there's a rare fungus,
Cordyceps siberienses.

Now, when the Pleski's exposed
to even small amounts,

it increases their ACTH levels.

Which over-stimulates
the adrenals.

Exactly.

Now, Rachel's research
was based on the premise

that the Cordyceps fungus

was the sole reason
that the Pleskidara are deadly,

and that without its influence,

they're a gentle,
intelligent species.

It was a controversial theory,

even in the abnormal
research community.

Okay, so, wait.

So if Jack was somehow
exposed to the fungus, then...

It would explain how he escaped
from his enclosure.

And why it took
so many tranquilizers

to bring him down.

But why would he be exposed
in the first place?

Could have been
a shipping container

that was somehow contaminated?

Knowing Gerald and Rachel,
that doesn't make any sense.

They'd be so careful
to screen for that.

Well, I'll do a blood test,
check the ACTH levels.

I'll talk with Gerald.

Are you crazy?

Of course we don't keep
Cordyceps in our lab,

or anything similar.

There's a possibility
that Rachel suspected

that Jack had been exposed.

Can I cut into
your Matlock speech here

for a second?

And pardon me, okay,
but the Pleski attacked Rachel

because of its nature,
not because it was on drugs!

She wanted to believe
it was tame,

but you can't take
an instinctive predator

and teach it to love people.

You and Rachel must have had

some very interesting
discussions about this.

What do you mean?

Her work was spent
trying to prove

that the Pleskidara
could be socialized,

and yet you, quite obviously,
believe the opposite.

I support her in her work.
I just...

Don't let her know that I think
it's completely useless.

And yet you allowed her
to continue working

with a dangerous species?

Come on, Magnus,
you know Rachel, all right.

She's made up her mind
about something, that's...

She's a very able researcher.

Yeah, I admire her passion,
I do.

But she spent more time
with the creature

than she did with you.

Yeah, she did.

I thought this...
getaway would, uh...

Would help change things.

Maybe if we spent a little
more time together, I...

But now...

What if she dies?

What happens?

Another... able researcher
gets hired,

and we all continue on
playing with "Jack"?

Is that what happens?

We're testing his blood
for ACTH levels.

If the results are negative...

I'll lock him away for good.

Of course you will.

Excuse me.

She's been stable
for more than an hour.

- Good news?
- Possibly.

She's out of quarantine?

I don't want to create
false hope,

but the rate of spore division
has diminished significantly.

You're certain?

They're beginning to die.

We believe
she's no longer contagious.

She's flat-lined.

There are toxins
in her bloodstream.

The treatment's killing her.

Second epi in.
Charging to 300.

- Epi in.
- No, let them work.

Come on, fight!

- Charged.
- Clear.

Time.

Four minutes.

I've given her epinephrine,
atropine, shocked her...

Seven times.

No...

We need an alternative.

Too risky.

She's dead either way.

What are they giving her?

Rachel!

Hold on.

Normal sinus.

Lucky.

Thank God.

I need blood, cardiac,
and liver panels.

The reagent's taking its toll
on her system.

We'll keep her monitored,

but I can't guarantee that
the treatment won't kill her

before it runs its course.

I'd like to be with her.

Alone.

How's Rachel?

Alive, for now.

You should see this.

Jack's blood results.

The ACTH levels
are higher than normal,

dropping from a previous spike.

I'm checking his food remains

for traces
of this Siberian fungus.

Well, why his food?

Rachel would be
the most careful about that,

I should think.

- Um...
- The Pleski told him.

He kept making the sign
for "eat."

Look, I tried to think

outside of my egocentric
way of communicating,

but I'm wondering
if Jack maybe somehow knew

that his food
was being poisoned.

Or it's just hungry.

He hasn't eaten anything
since he got here.

Let me know what you find.

Magnus...

It doesn't look good.

It's stupid.

I was going to surprise you.

The trip wasn't to Blackpool
for a convention.

It was, uh...

to Paris.

A real honeymoon.

Finally.

This shouldn't have happened.
It shouldn't have been...

Can I have a private moment
with my wife, Henry?

I know, Ger. I'm sorry.

This is my fault.

I can't spend
two minutes with her

without you showing up.

I can't take her to a movie

because you two
have already seen it.

First it's coffee with Henry,

and then it's dinner
here and there.

Pretty soon it's all about
whether or not you're available.

Do you know
that she actually blushes

when you walk into a room?

And you know it,

and you insult me every time,

pretending
that it wasn't happening.

She's with you, Ger, not me.

I never did anything.

You don't have to,
Henry, you are...

You're everything
that she wants me to be.

But I took care of things.

Something had to be done.

Mystery of
the amped-up lizard solved.

Damn.

Yeah.
Last three feedings

were rife with delicious
Siberian fungus.

You did this.

You made this happen?

This is Rachel!

You're such an idiot, Henry.

Only two people had access
to his food supply.

So unless blondie was going for
suicide by Pleski...

Where's Gerald right now?

I wasn't trying to kill Rachel.

I was trying to kill you.

Oh, man, don't.

Come on, Henry.

Let's see your real face, huh?

No!

It's all right, buddy,
let it come.

No!

Don't...

Come on, Henry, turn!

One of us
is checking out, Henry,

and if you stay human,
it'll be you!

- Don't do this.
- Come on!

Gerald, that is enough!

Drop it.

Look at her.

I don't want to live
when she's gone.

Oh, you'd take care
of that, though,

wouldn't you, buddy boy?

If I just mess you up
just a little bit,

you'd take care of business.

You'd take care of me,
wouldn't you?

Stop...

Then you'd have to live with it!

Gerald!
Think logically.

You do not want to take
this action.

Come on, freak!

She's crashing again!

Doc, is she...

She's stabilizing.

Are you okay?

No.

So...

How does someone recover
from something like this?

By not blaming yourself
for what happened.

Our marriage wasn't working.

I should have said something.
I should have stopped myself.

From what, feeling things?

I'm sure you tried
at some point or another,

- but that doesn't work.
- Hi.

I can come back.

No, no, uh...
We'll talk later.

- Hey, you.
- Hey.

Ow.

Wow, you look terrible.

Where the hell's
your make-up bag?

Stop it.

Yeah...

You see, that's the problem.

I can't.

You and I got too close, Rachel,
and I went there willingly.

Because I gave you permission.

I don't know why I...

I think I was afraid to admit

that I made a mistake
with Gerald.

I chose the wrong person.

No, you're not
in love with me, Rachel.

I'm just the third wheel
to keep you guys upright

while you figured things out.

I bought in too much.

You really don't think
that's all you were to me?

Henry...

I am in love with you.

Then why did you marry him?

Because he was the one
who asked.

Because you were always
too scared to open up to me.

Is it because of what you are?

Did you think
I wouldn't accept that?

Oh, my God...

You don't love me.

Rachel...

We... can't be together.

Henry... why?

Because Gerald's my friend,
and...

I'm so sorry.

I know what you're going to say,

and you're totally right.
It's all on me.

Not all, but enough.

I know you thought
you were helping Rachel

and her relationship
with Gerald, but...

I was just making it worse.

I just wanted
to be there for her.

You know, be someone
she could count on.

Be a friend.

But things changed.

Yeah.

That's usually when it's best
to come clean.

You can't let who you are

keep you from getting
close to people, Henry.

Hey, Doc...

thank you for saving her.
