The Gifted (2017–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - no Mercy - full transcript

That's our target? A bank?

Creed Financial was built
on mutant suffering.

We hit this place,
we'll inspire an army.

The people behind the attack
at the mental hospital,

they took someone.
Do you know who it was?

I think her name was Rebecca.

We thought she was on her meds.
We were wrong.

You hide yourself up there.

Never hide who you are.

Maybe I can take them out.

It is the only chance we got.



Authorities rolled up
the whole station.

Biggest mutant bust in years.

You're one of us now, brother.

Oh, God...

I can't make it stop.

All right, listen up.

I know a lot of you have been
talking about the situation

at the 11th Ave. Projects.

Mutant families aren't getting
their leases renewed.

The only folks who get
eir applications looked at

are the ones with no X-Gene
in their families.

So we have got to let

the arrivals know
that this is our hood.

That they need to find
a new place to go and soon.



Waith-hang on, Benny.
Are you seriously talking

about knocking on doors and
telling families to get out?

We're not gonna make any friends.

We're way past making friends, Reeva.

We've already had anti-mutant
graffiti and vandalism...

Yeah...
people are already scared of us.

If we're coming to their homes
and telling them to go...

Hey, you think I want this?

I want to be building
playgrounds in the park.

But what good is it when our
kids are too soored to go out?

Benny, seriously,
th-there has to be another way.

Like what?
Bring the humans a pie,

tell them, "Hey, we'll go."

Maybe we should turn ourselves
in to Sentinel Servicern

while we're at it.

All right.

Let's print out some flyers,

start on St. Lawrence
and work our way west.

Let's go.

Reeva. Hey, wait up.

Hey.

What do you want?

Listen, I'm sorry about
what I said in there.

Look, the idea was to make
peoples' lives better.

To work with the community.

Reeva, ty're driving us out.

Soon, we won't even have a community,

and we need a place that's ours.

I shouldn't have done that.
But we're living a lie

if we think that these humans
are-are ever gonna accept us...

Come on, Benny, we should go.

Hey! What do you think you're doing?

How's it your business?

- It's my business 'cause it's my building.
- Give me that.

You the ones that broke
the windows last week?

- Maybe, mutie.
- Look, Benny,

- don't. Just...
- Shut up!

Don't touch her!

Hey!

No!

Benny!

No! Benny! No

- Come on!
- No, Benny! No, no, no!

Benny! No, no...

Benny. No, no. No, Benny, no.

No, no, no, no, please, no.
Benny, don't die on me.

No!

Benny!

All right. When we get
to the Creed Financial building,

we will neutralize
the mutant detection system.

Once that is done, we move in.

Lornwill disable communications

while the girls and I will
secure the employees.

Rebecca will get us
into the vault,

with Andrew by her side
for protection.

We will take what we came for
and then we will leave.

Violence will only be used
as a last resort.

Any questions?

The mutant detection system.

You sure you can knock it out?

A real short heist. Is gonna be

The girls and I are
working on that now.

Everything will be ready.

Get some rest.
Tomorrow is a big day.

Hey, you good?

Yeah. Just... the vault.

The one in the training room
is completely different.

I have to turn
the whole thing around...

I think you should be fine.
I mean,

I saw at you did to that cop car.

That's a car.

I've been turning them
inside out since I was 12.

I don't know, I just don't
want to get in there

and have everybody staring
at me, like, "You suck.

We were all counting on you."

Hey, I know you can do it.

I'll be right there.

I got your back.

So y'll kill them all
if they make fun of me, right?

- Oh, yeah, all of them.
- Yeah.

- They're all dead.
- Oh, good.

Make sure everything
is ready for tonight.

I can't be late for dinner.

Oh, no

You okay?

- Just breathe.
- Don't touch me!

I don't want to hurt you.

This is ridiculous, me being here.

It's been one night
and it's already worse.

I don't want to be
the reason that you two

are carted off by Sentinel Services.

We need to get me to a hospital.

No, they, they'd call the police
the moment they saw you.

We can use a different name,
a fake I.D.

Look, even if it did work, most
of the hospitals around here

don't treat mutants at all,
never mind one who...

destroys everything he touches.

Look, at best,

you would end up
in a prison hospital.

At least then you'd be safe.

If I stay here, we're all gonna
get arrested anyway.

Then we'll move you.

We are sticking together.

I'm gonna go talk to the others.

You seriously want to move him?

In his condition?

I-I don't see that
we have much choice.

Finding a safe place...
Wherever we move him,

- he is gonna do some damage.
- Yeah, yeah.

Well, why don't just bring
him to the Morlocks?

Getting him underground
might be our safest...

I'm sorry, but as his human wife,
I'm not really interested

in my husband joining
a mutant-only separatist group.

I didn't say join. I meant
to say maybe they could help.

And I said it's not an option.

Okay.

What about the clinic?

What, the-the place that
the Purifiers just wrecked?

Exactly, and it's been
shut down ever since.

Nobody gonna be watching it now.

A-A little more damage
won't raise any alarms.

Look, who knows, I...

I might be able to do
something for him there.

Caitlin's right.
The clinic is safer than here.

All right.

Marcos, Clarice, and I...
We'll organize transportation.

I'm gonna head on over.
Just hurry.

Yeah, no, I understand
that you're her lawyer.

If I could just,
if I could just talk to my wife

for, like, two minutes, okay?
Just to explain...

Mr. Turner, that's not
a good idea at this stage

- in the process.
- I don't give a damn...

I'm sorry.

I've known this woman
since high school, all right?

We've been through
the worst nightmare

that a parent can go through, together.

Just ask her for two minutes,
man, please.

I'm sorry, but Ms. Turner
has instructed me

not to let you speak to her.

Really?

I got to go.

Mr. Turner, avoiding this step...

Hey, man.

Hey, man, sorry I'm late.

Why'd you want to meet up?

Want to talk to you
about something. Uh...

Taking down the mutie station in
Baltimore turned a lot of heads.

One of our top-level supporters
wants to meet you.

Tomorrow.

Okay. Who is it?

Meeting like this is high security.
No details in advance.

And, uh,

you got to get tested.

For what, the X-Gene?

You're serious?
I was in the Sentinel Services, man,

- there's no way...
- I know.

There are no exceptions.

And trust me, man,
it's that important.

You know what?
Yeah, let's do it.

So, you're gonna spill it or what?

What?

- The big secret.
- Big secret?

You tell me to make sure this
dinner's not in my calendar.

How did you even find this place?

I am just being careful.

If the board at my company
ever knew that I was seeing

one of the finance VPs
from our bank...

Ah.

It's important.

I need to know thatonight
is just between... us.

To secrets.

You know, when I lost Sandy,
I... I never thought

I'd find a woman that strong,

that smart,
that beautiful again.

Hell, I wasn't sure
I'd ever date again,

with the boys and the hours
I've been putt bg in at work...

and then I meet you.

Check this out.

My youngest, Kai, he drew this.

Aw...

Said for the first time in two
years, Daddy is smiling again.

That's sweet.

Thk you.

You want to get out of here?

Hell yeah, I want
to get out of here.

Check, please.

Oh, really?

So, where'd you park?

Actually, right there.

- Oh, that's funny.
- What?

You've never struck me
as the SUV type.

Oh, really?

What type did I strike you as?

Nice suit, Romeo.

What is this?
Who are you?

I'm sorry.

Don't worry, Quinn.

You're about to make history.

- Don't make me do this, I can't.
- Yes, you can Quinn.

All you need to do is go into
the bank and plug in a drive.

What, to turn off
the mutant detection system?

They'll know.
They'll catch me.

Do not concern yourself with
that; We will take care of you.

All that matters now is
that you do as you're told.

And if I don't?

Think of your boys.

How... how can you do this?

Do you know how many
anti-mutant organizations

Creed Financial supports...
how many they fund?

That has nothing to do with me.

I don't hate mutants.

I-I don't choose clients.
It's just a job.

Working for a company
that hurts people.

My people.

I need an answer, Quinn.

Okay, just...
just don't hurt my kids.

They will be fine.

We'll bring you a fresh suit.
We leave in an hour.

Was it all a lie?

Us?

I wish it was, Quinn.

It would have been easier.

I need to talk to you.

Why? Is everything okay?

It's about the job at the bank.
We need to change the plans.

Uh, it's a little late
in the game for that.

Don't care.

I need someone to watch Dawn
while we're in there.

I want you.

Me? I'm supposed to be
in the bank with you.

Your sisters can handle it.

Look, Esme,

if something happens to me...
I...

Look, you said you would do
anything to protect her.

Reeva is not going to like this.

Hey, how we looking in there?

Uh, this thing's about
as reinforced

as it can be and still roll.

If you can get him in,
that should hold

long enough to get him there.

I don't know why I'm always
the asker of awkward questions,

but then what?

Is he going to live there?
What's the plan?

Then we figure it out.
Caitlin's working on it.

I'm gonna grab some more scrap
metal to fortify the clinic.

- What?
- Nothing.

Nah, there is something.

What is it with you
and the Morlocks, huh?

What about the Morlocks?

Well, a couple of weeks ago
we didn't know they existed,

and now, all of a sudden,

they're the solution
to every problem?

We just needed a safe place
to take Reed.

Is that all, Clarice?

Because Erg was practically
waiting for us

when we went down there
a few days ago.

What are you getting at, Marcos?

I'm just asking where
your loyalties lie, that's all.

Loyalties? From the guy
who ran off to moonlight...

with a drug cartel, with the
baby mama in the Inner Circle?

I know you don't want to admit it,

but the Underground isn't doing so well.

I'd say we can use
some new allies.

This is where
we're meeting this guy, huh?

He likes out-of-the-way places.

The day's gonna come we can have
a meeting like this

out in the open.

For now we got to be careful.

We're up here.

So, if I tell people about this,
what, I get a...

ice pick to the back
of the head?

There are worse things than ice picks.

Well? You coming?

Mr. Turner.

Benedict Ryan.

Oh, of course, yeah.
I've, uh...

I've seen you on TV
a million times.

What...?

I-I guess I didn't expect you
to be a part of all this.

Well, not everyone can wear
the cross, but trust me,

plenty of folks support
your efforts.

What you did in Baltimore
was outstanding.

The movement needs
more men like you.

Out in front, inspiring people.

Here, let's sit.

Oh. With all due respect,
I'm not really looking to be

out in front of anybody.

I'm just looking for justice,
I guess.

You know why millions of people
watch my show?

'Cause they want something
to believe in.

And your story...
Your daughter Grace,

the work you did in Atlanta...
That's gold.

But what good is it
if only we know?

Mr. Turner, I have a plan

to help the people
take back America.

But I need your help.

Damn it.

- What happened?
- Nothing. I'm fine.

Clarice is back with the ambulance.

We need to go.

Lauren...

I don't think
you should ride along with me.

I've already caused an accident
with you in thaucar.

We know what we're dealing with now.

If anything happens,
I'll protect you.

It's not your job to protect me.

It's my job to protect you.

Our family is in this together.

It's time we start acting that way.

We can't keep running from
what we are.

Hey, uh... ugh.

Sorry to interrupt family time,
but, uh, we got to roll.

Yeah. Okay. Let's go.

It's time.

When we go to the bank,
you will go in.

You will put this in the
computer in your office,

and then you will wait for us.

Remember the first time
we went out?

That Greek place.

I said I wanted to take you
to Athens one day,

and you said, "I'd love that."

- Quinn, don't do this.
- I'd still go with you.

If we just walked out of here
right now...

I told you to stop.

You don't hate people.

I know you have a good heart.

Why do you think I'm doing this?
To expose the guilty.

To help those who will die
without my help.

I know you cared about me.

Yes. And that is why,
when this is over,

you will go home safe to your family.

Do not test me, Quinn.

I am not a monster
unless I need to be.

Yoready to rock?

Did you really just say that?

Uh, I guess.

For real, though,
are you still nervous?

A little.

You're going to crush that vault.

I'm serious.

It's not just that.
I mean...

I've barely been outsi in,
like, over a year.

And now this.

I believe in you.

Ugh.

You lovebirds ready?

Don't worry.

I'm trusting you.

I love you.

Oh, uh, don't forget to burp her
after she eats.

She gets gassy.

X-Gene detectors are down.
Go.

I'll tell you what I need Mr. Turner...

I need someone to come on my show,
tell them the truth.

And what-what is that?

That Sentinel Services

covered up what happened in Atlanta.

They've been lying to
the American people.

Help us clear out the rot
so we can finally fix

the mutant problem.

All right, hold on, hold on.
You...

You want me to come on your show?

Look, I have my issues
with Sentinel Services, but...

there are good folks
that work there.

Can't just throw them
under the bus.

I appreciate your loyalty,

but this country has
a serious problem.

Solving it is gonna take a man
like you standing up.

Yeah, that may be true,

but we're talking about men
and women that I trained with.

People that have had my back.

If I sell them out, I won't
be able to sleep at night.

Mr. Turner, well, the fact is

I have more powerful than
any politician you'll ever meet.

I've got a direct line
to the president.

But we need someone

to help us sell the message

that this is
the time for real change.

I can take you down
to the studio today.

Look, man, I'm sorry,

I'm... I'm just not that guy.

Everybody form a line
against the wall.

Nice and easy, everyone.

Against the wall.

Everyone stay calm.

Cooperate, and you will
walk out of here alive.

Hey. Marnie, Marnie, Marnie.

It's all right.

I don't know what you think
you're going to accomplish here.

- James, just stop.
- No!

They need to know.

Our vault's made of adamantium.

It's unbreakable, and the only
people with the combinations...

are two states away.

If you're smart,
you'll just let us go.

Oh, we'll let you go,

but first you'll do
something for me.

You will tell the worlde

how this bank was built off
of the suffering of my people.

If you think I'll cooperate

with mutant terrorists...

Think you will?

We know you will.

By the time you see this,
Creed Financial will be gone.

For years,
we've backed companies

that persecute mutants worldwide.

Bankrupted mutant-owned businesses.

Crippled their investments.

Wait, hold up, are we really
gonna let the workers go?

- As opposed to what?
- I don't know.

I mean, they did
all this crap to mutants

and then they just get to go home?

I mean, seriously,
they're humans.

- Hey, my mom's a human.
- Whatever, seywas mine.

It's not like
she works here, Andy.

Rebecca, can we just stick to the plan?

The deal is,
we get what we came for and go.

- Understand?
- Okay, fine. I was just asking.

You okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm okay.

Okay, brother, unfortunately,
I've known you long enough

to know when you're spinning out,

so... cough up.

I was just, um,

thinking about the patient

that Caitlin and I lost here
when Purifiers attacked.

He was a soldier and, uh...
and I tried to help him.

You did everything you could.

- Did I?
- Yes.

Marcos, we've lost so much.

Shatter died 50 feet away
from me. I couldn't help him.

Okay, no, you were gassed, man,
you couldn't even walk.

Everything we have worked for is dying.

I called every station

a hundred miles from here to see
if they could help with Reed.

Nothing.

You know what they talk about?

Mutant Uprising.

The Inner Circle's beating us
at our own game

and people are losing faith.

Since we're talking about it,

it's not just their loyalties
I'm worried about.

What are you talking about?

I know you care about Clarice.
We all do.

But I think that
you should talk to her.

The Morlocks? Erg?

You can't say
you've never considered

that she's thought about it,
about what they're doing.

Hey, hey!
She has fought alongside us

since the beginning.

- I get that...
- You better have some proof.

John, I'm just telling you, man.
Pay attention.

I was down there.

I saw something between them.
Just... just ask.

That's it.

Hey.

Be careful. Don't get too close.

Come on. Get some rest.

Ooh, look at that.

Yeah, the plans were right.

It's 15 feet back,
mounted into solid bedrock.

Open at the back.

You're up, kid.

You got this.

Okay.

God, it is so strong.

But I-I think
I can turn it around.

It's too much.

Hey.

You remember what it was like
in that hospital?

How angry you were?

How alone?

How afraid?

You have to channel that.

Just picture what it felt like.
Use it.

- I did it.
- Hey.

We got work to do.

What the hell was that in there?

I don't know what to tell you,
man, it's not my thing.

I don't think you understand
what you just passed up.

A chance to make real change.

What, by selling out my friends?

Friends?

Did they stand up for you after Atlanta?
Did they?

We're your friends now, man.
You know it's true.

You lost your daughter.
You lost your wife...

Hey, hey, don-don't talk
about my family, man!

Here's the reality:
We're all you got.

You want to show your wife
you're not just some broken-down

ex-agent living in the past?

Change the future.

Where are you taking me?

- What are we doing?
- You're gonna get us into the accounts.

The scanner, Quinn.

You know what that means, right?

People lose everything.

Businesses. Homes.
Innocent people.

Tell that to the mutants who died

so this place could turn a profit.

Quinn, this is almost over.

Be smart and you will
get through this.

Ah, the guest of honor.

Time to log in.

Let the world remember today.

We are the ones
who used our wealth

and power to enable the torture
of innocent mutants.

We are the criminals...

The time for the Mutant Uprising
has come.

The time for justice.

Nice job.

You're a natural.

You people are monsters.

Oh. According to the video
you just made, we're heroes.

It's been fun, everybody,

but it's quiet time now. Shh.

It's okay, sweetie.

I could make you stop crying,

but Auntie Esme is not allowed
in your mind anymore,

is she?
No, she isn't. No.

- They're in.
- Shh!

Something's coming through.

What is it?

It's everything.

It's your first bank heist.

Any luck with Otto's old papers?

Maybe.

Most of his later research was
overseen by his lab assistant.

Yeah. Dad told me about her.

He already looked. Couldn't find
anything on a Madeline Risman.

No, but there is
a Professor Madeline Garber

at Charlotte State University.

She's the same age,
a geneticist.

I think it's her.

Lauren.

I think he's okay.

The last six months, he has been
suffering right in front of me,

but I was too focused
on everything else...

That's not your fault.

He kept that from you
to protect you.

I don't need protecting.

Maybe our family is cursed.

Look at Dad.

What if we're never able...

to touch him again?

I mean, think of everything

Andrea and Andreas von Strucker
did as Fenris...

The von Strucker twins were murderers.

They chose
who they wanted to be.

- That-That has nothing to do with you.
- Nothing?

When Andy and I used our powers
together in Atlanta,

I knew that people were dying.

But I felt free.

I felt powerful.

'Cause you were saving all of us.

You were doing the opposite
of what the von Struckers did.

I really hope so.

Hey.

Are you all right?

I think the attack's passed.

The pain's not so bad.

I... Have some water.

Mom.

Okay.

I have something to show you.

I think maybe we should stock
this place with food and water.

Reed could be here a while.

Okay.
I'm all for making it comfortable,

but how long can
we really keep this up?

Caitlin said she's on it.

We're just buying her some time.

I'll, uh, I'll unload
the rest of the metal.

So what's going on?

Mething you want to tell me?

I was gonna ask you the same.

It's funny how that question
keeps coming up.

Look, I don't want to fight,

but is there anything I should
know about the Morlocks?

You and Erg?

Hey, Clarice?
I'm just asking.

All right?
What we're doing here does not work

if we're not honest
with each other.

Well, what the hell
are we doing here, John?

We being honest about that?

Are we saving people?

Fighting the Inner Circle?
Stopping racists?

I mean, do we even have
a plan past tomorrow?

No! Th-That's not
what this is about.

- Well, it should be!
- Tell me the truth!

Is there anything
I should know about Erg?

Yes, okay?
Yes, there is.

I help him steal some food.

I told him about some of the mutants

that passed through the Underground.

You gave Erg information?

You stole for him?
Without telling me? Why?

Because he's actually
helping mutants.

A hell of a lot better than we
are these days, don't you think?

- I can't believe you.
- Because you will never get it.

- Oh.
- Down there, you don't have to hide who you are,

- you don't have to run.
- So that's your excuse to lie to me?

It's not an excuse.

I did it for you.

- Okay.
- I did it for all of us.

You don't think I see
how this affects you?

Losing Atlanta?
The Inner Circle kicking our asses?

You were falling apart.

You needed help, and it was
the only way to get it.

I'm sorry if you don't
see it that way.

I appreciate you doing all of this.

- And it looks promising, but...
- Promising?

Reed, sh-she's the head of
a whole research institute now.

Even if it is the same Madelinee

- we don't know anything about her.
- We know enough.

She may be the only person alive

who knows anything
about your condition.

Not only that, but she knows
about our family.

I could barely make it
across the city today.

Her research institute is in
Charlotte. It's hours away.

- We can take the ambulance.
- It's too risky.

Reed, you said it yourself.

You're getting worse.

The real risk is doing nothing.

Hey.

All right.

Yes, everything went perfectly.

We're finishing up at the computer

while the others prepare
for our exit.

How are things on your end?

Better than we'd hoped.

We just put the video out,

we've drained over
a hundred million dollars

in account balances so far,

and I got the baby to sleep.
Not a bad day's work.

I'll see you soon.

We're done here.

So what happens now?

To me? To

To everyone upstairs?

- You made a promise.
- A promise I'm going to keep.

You will return to the office
and wait with the others.

The police will be arriving shortly.

I know it's cold comfort,

but someday you will be a hero
to a nation of mutants.

I never even knew
your real name, did I?

Soon you will.

Soon the whole world
will know my name.

I am glad you changed your mind.

Thank you so much for coming.

Thank Ted.
He talked some sense into me.

I just told you the truth.

We're hoping to get you
on the air soon.

We'll do some pre-interviews,
craft the messagete

- a little bit...
- Okay, yeah, look,

I'll-I'll say
what I think is wrong

about how
Sentinel Services is run,

but I'm not going after
anybody by name.

No need.
We're taking on the system here.

We're gonna wake people up.

And show them
that the only way to deal

with the mutant threat
is to follow your example

and start taking matters
into their own hands.

- Mr. Ryan.
- Just one sec.

Sorry, sir, it's important.

Something's happened. An attack.

Oh, my God.

Trust me, Mr. Turner.

Now, more than ever,
we need you.

What's our status?

We're getting police response.

- Time?
- Two minutes.

All of you deserve to be wiped
from the face of the Earth.

You're terrorists, all of you.
You'll all burn for this.

I hope you rot in hell.

You'll pay for this, all of you.

- Time to go.
- Wait a second.

We're just gonna let that go?

Rebecca, we have to leave.

I'm being serious.

You know, the whole reason
we are here...

is because these people
are hurting mutants,

and now we're just like, whatever?

The plan is,
we walk out of here.

Rebecca, we are done here.

Screw the plan.

What have to done to...?

No, no, no, no, no, no...

No, no!

No! No! No!

No, don't!

- Oh, my God.
- Rebecca.

Rebecca.

What did you do?

We have to go. Now. Now!
