The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 4, Episode 1 - Criminal Nature - full transcript
Earth in the not-too-distant future is having to deal with the results of genetic engineering that began some ten years before. While it benefited most who underwent the treatment some of the children suffered genetic rejection syndrome, GRS, and are now mutants. These children have now grown up with enhanced capabilities but are prone to crime and violence. Detective Ray Venable heads the police department's GRS unit and is shocked to learn that the latest attack was by his eldest son Dylan who was given away to an organization who promised to care for him. In fact the children were sent to labor camps and they have no idea what may have happened to him in the intervening ten years. Feeling the need to find Dylan, he injects himself with a drug to genetically enhance his senses. It doesn't quite go as planned.

SUBHEADING "GENETIC REJECTION
SYNDROME, OR G.R.S.":
A RECENT PHENOMENON
LINKED TO THE BLACK MARKET
IN GENETIC ENGINEERING
OF THE DNA OF HUMAN FETUSES
RESULTING IN TRAGIC
IRREVERSIBLE MUTATIONS.
ANOTHER G.R.S. ATTACK
FOR YOU, RAY.
WHAT DO WE GOT?
NIGHT WATCHMAN WENT
TO MAKE HIS ROUNDS,
NEVER CAME BACK.
SUPERVISOR SHOWED UP,
FOUND THE BODY...
IT WAS TOO LATE.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK.
EVENING, CAROLYN.
DETECTIVE VENABLE.
HOW LONG'S
HE BEEN DEAD?
JUDGING FROM TEMP AND LIVIDITY,
HALF HOUR, 45 MINUTES.
CAUSE?
CERVICAL TRAUMA.
SOMEONE WITH A LOT OF STRENGTH
SNAPPED HIS NECK.
BITE AND CLAW MARKS
ARE POST-MORTEM.
TISSUE
AND SERIOLOGY?
ALREADY ON RUSH TO THE LAB.
YOU'RE THE BEST.
YOU SAY THAT TO ALL THE GIRLS.
YEAH, RENFRO HERE.
OKAY, HOLD YOUR 20.
WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
THEY GOT HIM SPOTTED.
COVER THE EXITS.
( chirping )
( wings flapping )
( creaking )
THERE!
RAY, BE CAREFUL.
YOU SEE ANYTHING?
( rustling )
RAY!
WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS?
LET IT GO!
RAY!
HANG ON, MAN!
HANG ON, RAY!
HANG ON, RAY.
HANG ON.
LAY OFF OF HIM!
GOT HIM.
( Control Voice )
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG
WITH YOUR TELEVISION.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST
THE PICTURE.
WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING
THE TRANSMISSION.
WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL,
AND THE VERTICAL.
WE CAN DELUGE YOU
WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS
OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE
TO CRYSTAL CLARITY...
AND BEYOND.
WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION
TO ANYTHING OUR IMAGINATION
CAN CONCEIVE.
FOR THE NEXT HOUR,
WE WILL CONTROL
ALL THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR.
( ♪ )
YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY
WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND
TO
--THE OUTER LIMITS.
WITH EVERY SCIENTIFIC ADVANCE
WE GROW CLOSER TO UNLOCKING
THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE
AND CREATION.
BUT WHAT HAVE WE GAINED
IF IN THE PROCESS
WE LOSE OUR HUMANITY?
THIS SUSPECT, HE'S DEFINITELY
ONE OF THESE GENETIC
REJECTION CASES?
YES, SHE'S G.R.S.
BUT BASED ON
THE LAB WORK
AND THE TEETH
AND CLAW MARKS,
SHE COULD NOT HAVE
BEEN THE KILLER.
LIEUTENANT O'NEILL,
IF SHE DIDN'T KILL THIS MAN,
WHO DID?
WE'RE WORKING
ON THAT.
HOW?
WITH YOUR FANCY G.R.S.
RESPONSE UNIT
THAT'S COST THE TAXPAYERS
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS
AND IS SO FAR
COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE?
WE CAPTURED ANOTHER ONE
LAST NIGHT.
NOT THE ONE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THIS ATROCITY.
HE'S STILL OUT THERE,
FREE TO KILL AGAIN.
THE SWITCHBOARD
AT CITY HALL
IS FLOODED WITH CALLS
FROM SCARED CITIZENS.
RADIO'S RUNNING WILD
WITH G.R.S. STORIES.
I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT EXACTLY IS BEING DONE
TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION.
DETECTIVE VENABLE
IS OUR EXPERT
ON THE SUBJECT.
DETECTIVE,
PLEASE BRING
THE CHIEF AND COUNCILMAN
UP TO SPEED.
I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I DO KNOW
WE'RE NOT UP AGAINST
THE SAME PROBLEM WE WERE
WHEN THIS STARTED SHOWING UP
ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.
UNDERGROUND LABS TURNED OUT
GENE-ALTERING DRUGS,
AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WORKED--
PERFECT KIDS WHO GREW UP
TO BE PERFECT ADULTS.
BUT SOMETIMES
IT RESULTED IN G.R.S. KIDS.
THEY LOOKED SCARY,
THEY HAD BAD TEMPERS
AND THEY ATTACKED PEOPLE
SOMETIMES.
A LOT OF THEM GOT CAUGHT
AND PEOPLE GOT BORED
WITH THE STORY.
BUT THE ONES THAT SURVIVED
WENT UNDERGROUND
AND THEY GREW UP.
THEIR HORMONES KICKED IN,
AND YOU CAN MULTIPLY THE THREAT
BY A HUNDRED NOW.
WE'VE GOT G.R.S. ADULTS
RUNNING AROUND,
AND THEY ARE STRONGER AND FASTER
AND SMARTER THAN EVER
AND THEY'RE GETTING BOLD.
YOU REALLY PUT
THEIR MINDS AT EASE.
O'NEILL CAN GET SOMEONE ELSE
TO TELL HIM FAIRY TALES.
BESIDES, IF I REALLY WANTED
TO SHAKE HIM UP,
I'D HAVE
SHOWN HIM THIS.
LOOKS LIKE
AN ENHANCEMENT SERUM.
DID YOU BUST A LAB?
NO, TOOK IT OFF
THE G.R.S. GIRL LAST NIGHT.
WHY DO YOU THINK SHE'D HAVE IT?
WHEN EVERYBODY
STARTED CRACKING DOWN
ON GEN-ENGINEERING,
LABS NEEDED
A NEW MARKETPLACE.
SOMEBODY HID THEM,
MAKING THIS STUFF
CUSTOM ENGINEERED
FOR ADULTS--
CATCH UP
WITH THE ONES
WHO HAD A HEAD START
IN THE WOMB.
WHAT WOULD SOMEONE WHO'S
ALREADY G.R.S. WANT WITH IT?
IN THEORY IT WORKS LIKE
A BOOSTER FOR THEM.
THEIR SYSTEMS ARE
ALREADY ALTERED.
THE SERUM JUST HEIGHTENS
THE EFFECTS.
THE STUFF WE'VE TESTED CAN BE
COUNTERACTED UP TO 72 HOURS
AS LONG AS THE TOTAL AMOUNT
INGESTED IS MINIMAL.
IT BONDS WITH THE
MITOCHONDRIAL CHAIN.
AND MAKES THEM
PERMANENTLY MORE MUTATED?
MAYBE THEY LIKE BEING
WHAT THEY ARE.
BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE.
YEAH, RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT
CIVIL RIGHTS?
TAKE IT UP WITH
THE SUPREME COURT.
DO YOU
BELIEVE THIS?
SOME LAWYER
WANTS TO TALK
TO THAT G.R.S. GIRL
BEFORE WE DO.
MAYBE HE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS
TO THEM AFTER WE INTERROGATE.
NO, HE KNOWS
HE CAN GET PUBLICITY
FOR TRYING
TO DEFEND A FREAK.
I JUST CAME HERE
TO TELL YOU
THAT YOU'VE GOT
VISITORS.
HEY, DAD.
HEY, PAL!
THIS IS A SURPRISE.
UH, IT
SHOULDN'T BE.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO TAKE JESSE
TO HIS BASEBALL
PRACTICE
WHILE I VISIT
MY MOTHER.
OH, I'M SORRY, HONEY.
I COMPLETELY FORGOT.
AGAIN?
HEY, JESS,
WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN
TO THE SQUADROOM FRIDGE,
GET YOURSELF A SODA?
OKAY.
AND ONE FOR
YOUR OLD MAN TOO.
LOOK, LOOK.
I KNOW THIS IS
MY FAULT,
BUT THIS IS
A REALLY BAD TIME.
WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF HEAT
FROM DOWNTOWN ON THIS CASE.
IT'S OKAY...IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL JUST GET TO MY MOM'S
A BIT LATE.
JESSE WAS REALLY
COUNTING ON YOU.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
I'LL MAKE IT UP TO HIM.
RAY, THEY'RE
READY FOR YOU.
AND YOU TOO.
SURE.
LEAVE HER HANDS FREE.
I'LL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
THAT WAS BRAVE.
NOT REALLY.
WE BOTH KNOW THOSE
LEG RESTRAINTS ARE HOTWIRED.
YOU TRY ANYTHING,
I JUST HIT THAT BUTTON.
110 VOLTS?
I'D BARELY FEEL IT.
THEN I'M MORE STUPID
THAN BRAVE.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
YOU MUST THINK
I'M
--STUPID,
DETECTIVE.
YOU DON'T CARE
WHAT MY NAME IS.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M MORE INTERESTED
IN YOUR AGE, WHERE YOU LIVE--
MELANIE.
I WAS NAMED FOR MY GRANDMOTHER,
BUT SHE WAS SHORT.
MY PARENTS WANTED ME
TO BE TALL.
HERE I AM, 5-FOOT-7.
THEIR PRIDE AND JOY.
YOU LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS,
MELANIE?
YOU JUST WANT
TO HEAR ME TALK,
WATCH ME MOVE,
GET INSIDE MY HEAD...
YOU'RE NOT TESTING ME.
YOU'RE TESTING YOURSELF.
INSIGHT.
THAT'S NOT LISTED
IN G.R.S. STUDIES.
DON'T FLATTER ME.
YOU THINK WE'RE THE SICK ONES?
BUT IN NATURE
STRONGER AND FASTER
EQUALS SUPERIORITY.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ASK
BEFORE THEY EXTERMINATE ME?
THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN.
YOU WANT TO KNOW
THE REAL DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN US, DETECTIVE?
YOU LIVE WITH FEAR.
I WON'T GIVE THEM
THE SATISFACTION.
THOSE G.R.S. FREAKS
ARE NUTS, YOU KNOW THAT.
PROBABLY HER WAY
OF CHECKING OUT
ON HER OWN TERMS.
NO,
SHE WAS TOYING WITH ME.
IT WAS HER WAY OF TELLING ME
THAT WE CAN NEVER STOP THEM,
CAN NEVER ANTICIPATE
THEIR MOVES.
MY OLD MAN WAS
ON THE FORCE 33 YEARS.
SURE AIN'T
THE SAME WORLD ANYMORE.
ALL HE HAD
TO DEAL WITH WAS
GANGS, CRACK COCAINE
AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
NOW WE GOT BRIGHT BOYS
LIKE O'NEILL
MAKING LIEUTENANT
AT 23.
DON'T TELL ME HE'S NOT
ONE OF THOSE BIO-BRATS.
ON THE OTHER HAND
WE GOT THE G.R.S. FREAKS
TRYING TO MAKE CHUMPS
OUT OF US.
MAYBE IT'S WORTH THE RISK
TO HAVE A KID THAT'S BETTER
THAN THE REST.
THERE SURE AIN'T
MUCH PLACE
FOR US PLAIN-OLD
HOMEGROWN HUMANS ANYMORE.
MAYBE WE OUGHT
TO TRY THE JUICE
THAT RAY GOT
OFF THAT FREAK.
WE'LL ALL MAKE GOLD SHIELD.
NAH.
HERE'S TO OLD, DUMB AND SLOW.
SALUT.
NO.
SORRY, MAN.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR FRIEND.
I MADE SURE SHE DIED QUICKLY.
YOU BASTARD!
NO.
I'M PROUD TO SAY I'M A VENABLE
THROUGH AND THROUGH.
DYLAN?
YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO DO BETTER
IF YOU WANT
TO CATCH ME...DAD.
( knocking )
RAY?
ARE YOU COMING
TO BED?
IT'S ALMOST 3:00.
I'M FINISHING UP
SOME CASE WORK.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
HIS NAME IS
DYLAN.
HE WAS
BROUGHT TO YOU
10 YEARS AGO...
JULY?
I REMEMBER HIM.
MAYBE YOU REMEMBER
WHAT YOU PROMISED--
THAT HE'D BE SAFE,
THAT YOU'D CARE FOR HIM,
KEEP HIM OUT OF TROUBLE?
AND YOU PROMISED NEVER TO BE
IN CONTACT WITH ME
OR THIS ORGANIZATION AGAIN.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
LOOK, MR. ACOSTA,
I'LL LEVEL WITH YOU.
I THINK DYLAN IS IN
SERIOUS TROUBLE
AND I WANT TO KNOW
WHERE HE'S BEEN,
WHAT HE'S BEEN
DOING.
FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS?
YOU MUST HAVE SOME RECORDS.
YOU MUST TAKE THE KIDS
SOMEPLACE.
NOW, LOOK--
YOU CAME HERE A LONG TIME AGO,
YOU PAID 40,000 CASH,
NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
I'M ASKING THEM NOW.
IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR THAT.
WE TOOK A PROBLEM OFF YOUR HANDS
AND YOU RESUMED YOUR LIFE.
MAYBE YOU AND YOUR WIFE
HAD SOME NICE FANTASY
ABOUT DOING WHAT'S BEST
FOR YOUR SON.
MAYBE IT HELPED YOU SLEEP
AT NIGHT,
BUT DO YOU REALLY THINK
FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY
WE'D TAKE
A LIFE-LONG INTEREST?
THE TRUTH IS,
WE SEND THEM TO LABOR CAMPS
OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT
I HAVE NO CLUE.
THIS ISN'T DAYCARE.
YOU GOT A COMPLAINT
ABOUT THE SERVICE,
CALL THE COPS.
( woman )
COME ON, KIDS,
SEE YOU GUYS.
BYE, JESS.
SEE YA.
( car driving away )
HI.
I WAS WATCHING
YOU PLAY.
YOU HOLD THE BAT TOO LOW.
MY FATHER TAUGHT ME.
YOU DIDN'T THINK SOMEONE LIKE ME
HAD A FATHER.
I BET YOUR DAD
TAKES YOU PLACES,
THROWS A BALL
AROUND WITH YOU.
DOESN'T HE?
WHERE DOES HE TAKE YOU?
WHERE?
GRANDMA'S...THE BEACH.
WHERE ELSE?
PIZZA.
PIZZA.
PRETTY NICE LIFE YOU'VE GOT.
JESSE, SWEETIE.
MAMA'S HERE.
EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE OKAY NOW.
NOBODY CAN HURT YOU HERE.
ALL RIGHT, HONEY?
SHH, IT'S OKAY.
SO HE JUST WALKED IN
THE FRONT DOOR?
YEAH.
ABOUT FIVE MINUTES
AFTER I GOT OFF
THE PHONE WITH YOU.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
THAT A G.R.S. PERSON
TOOK HIM.
THEN HE JUST THREW HIS ARMS
AROUND ME AND CRIED.
WELL, IS HE ALL RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT?
NO, OF COURSE
HE'S NOT ALL RIGHT.
DIDN'T YOU SEE HIM
IN THERE?
HE'S SCARED TO DEATH,
HE'S TRAUMATIZED!
ALL RIGHT,
JUST CALM DOWN.
DON'T YOU TELL ME
TO CALM DOWN!
SOMETHING'S
GOING ON HERE,
SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT
TELLING ME ABOUT.
WHAT IS IT, RAY?
WHY WOULD ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
PICK OUT OUR SON?
IT'S ONE OF YOUR
CASES, ISN'T IT?
SIT DOWN.
IT'S DYLAN.
DYLAN?
HE JUMPED ME AT THE PLACE
WHERE CAROLYN FLEURY
WAS MURDERED.
HE KILLED HER,
AND HE WAITED FOR ME TO SHOW UP.
AND I THINK HE DID IT
JUST TO GET AT ME,
AND NOW...JESSE.
I WAS LATE PICKING HIM UP
BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY
AND YOU
DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME
IT WAS ABOUT DYLAN?
HOW COULD YOU KEEP
SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM ME?
YOU COULD HAVE KILLED OUR SON!
DYLAN IS OUR SON TOO.
WELL, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
I'LL DEAL WITH IT.
HOW?
I DON'T KNOW YET.
WELL, WHAT IF HE COMES
AFTER JESSE?
RAY, WE HAVE TO TELL SOMEONE.
NO!
( door opening )
HEY, JESS.
HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING.
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.
( Dylan )
YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO DO BETTER...
( G.R.S. girl )
YOU LIVE WITH FEAR.
...IF YOU WANT
TO CATCH ME, DAD.
STRONGER
AND FASTER.
DADDY...
STRONGER AND FASTER
EQUALS SUPERIORITY.
LIVE WITH FEAR...
LIVE WITH FEAR...
( phone ringing loudly )
( background sounds amplified )
HONEY, IF YOU
CAN'T GET A SITTER,
YOUR MOM AND I
WILL WATCH THE BABY.
HAVE A GOOD TIME.
( chalk squeaking )
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING, RAY,
CHECKING UP
ON THE JANITOR?
I DROPPED MY PEN.
DID YOU GET THE RESULTS BACK,
THOSE DNA SWABS FROM
THE PARKING GARAGE?
NO,
THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THEM.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE
WITH THE LAB.
YO!
EARTH TO RAY.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH, YEAH.
IS THE LIGHTING IN HERE
DIFFERENT TODAY?
LOOKS LIKE
THE SAME OLD
FUNERAL PARLOR
ATMOSPHERE TO ME.
WHAT?
I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT
WHY WE CAN'T
PIN THIS GUY.
I REMEMBERED WHAT
CAROLYN SAID
ABOUT G.R.S.,
ABOUT ENHANCED
CAPABILITIES.
WHAT IF THEY CAN SEE
THINGS THAT WE CAN'T?
LIKE WHAT?
LIKE TRAILS.
RAY,
THIS IS A CITY HERE.
THE ONLY TRAILS ARE
IN THE PARK.
I MEAN SOMETHING THAT SHOWS
WHERE A PERSON'S BEEN.
LIKE FOOTPRINTS?
NO, LIKE HEAT
OR ENERGY.
SOMETHING UNIQUE
THAT THEY GIVE OFF.
IT TAKES ANOTHER ONE LIKE THEM
TO SEE AND FOLLOW IT.
SO IT WOULD TAKE G.R.S.
TO FIND THE G.R.S.
EXACTLY.
NO, THAT SEEMS
PRETTY WEIRD TO ME.
THERE'S A SCIENTIFIC BASIS!
YOU KNOW
HOW SHARKS HUNT?
NO.
THEY CAN DETECT
AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD
COMING OFF ANOTHER ANIMAL.
IT GIVES OFF
A FEAR VIBE
AND THEY LOCK
INTO IT.
OR BLOODHOUNDS--
THE PHEROMONES OF WHOEVER
THEY'RE AFTER SHOW UP LIKE MAPS.
PHEROMONES...WHAT ARE YOU,
TURNING INTO MR. WIZARD?
I THINK I'M ONTO SOMETHING HERE.
EVEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT,
WHAT'S IT GOT TO DO WITH US?
WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A FREAK, NOT A SHARK.
ACCORDING TO
YOUR THEORY,
WOULDN'T IT TAKE
ONE OF THEM
TO FIND ONE OF THEM,
TO BE ABLE TO SEE
THIS TRAIL THING?
LAST I LOOKED, THERE WAS
NO FREAKS ON THE FORCE,
ALTHOUGH SULLIVAN DOES HAVE
A LOT OF HAIR ON HIS BACK.
NICE GOING, SLICK.
CAN'T TAKE YOU
ANYWHERE.
RAY!
DYLAN!
DYLAN, STOP!
DYLAN?
HI, DADDY.
WHERE ARE YOU?
COME AND GET ME!
DYLAN!
DYLAN, STOP!
DYLAN!
HA, HA!
YOU'RE GETTING CLOSE!
BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH.
YOU WANT TO HAVE IT OUT
WITH ME, FINE.
BUT NOT HERE.
NOT IN THIS HOUSE.
RAY.
BEFORE YOU SAY
ANYTHING,
I CAN EXPLAIN.
YOUR FACE...
YOUR HANDS.
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME
HAVE YOU DONE?
I TOOK SOME
GENETIC ENHANCEMENT.
WHAT KIND OF
GENETIC ENHANCEMENT?
SOMETHING TO HELP ME DO
WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
THE SAME POISON THEY PUT IN ME
WHEN I WAS PREGNANT?
NO, NOW THEY MAKE SOMETHING
THAT WORKS IN AN ADULT.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
LOOK WHAT IT DID TO DYLAN.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO STOP HIM!
HE'S OUT TO HURT US,
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?
I WANT YOU TO TAKE JESSE
TO YOUR MOTHER'S HOUSE
AND LET ME
HANDLE THIS.
LISTEN TO ME.
LISTEN TO ME.
I'M IN CONTROL
AND THE PROCESS IS REVERSIBLE.
I'LL ALTER MYSELF ENOUGH
TO CATCH HIM AND MAKE HIM STOP
AND THEN I PROMISE
I WILL GO TO A CLINIC
AND GET TREATED
AND EVERYTHING WILL BE BACK TO
THE WAY
IT SHOULD BE.
THINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN
THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE.
NOT SINCE WE MADE
THAT HORRIBLE MISTAKE.
DO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT
OUR WHOLE LIVES?
WE WANTED WHAT WAS BEST.
NO, IT WAS FEAR
THAT HE WOULDN'T BE
PERFECT.
HE TURNED OUT PERFECT,
DIDN'T HE?
PERFECT NIGHTMARE.
CAN'T GO BACK AND UNDO IT,
SO NOW I HAVE TO FIX IT.
BY DOING THIS TO YOURSELF?
JUST TRUST ME!
NO, I TRUSTED YOU
THE FIRST TIME.
YOU SAID WE WERE JUST
HELPING NATURE ALONG.
I NEVER WANTED TO DO IT.
IT SCARED ME, I...
BUT YOU TOLD ME
IT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.
I BELIEVED YOU.
DAMN IT,
I BELIEVED YOU.
MARIE, PLEASE.
STAY AWAY FROM ME!
I FOLLOWED HIM IN.
HE MUST HAVE
JUMPED 30 FEET.
IS HE ON SOMETHING?
I DON'T KNOW.
IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE HIM.
LOOK, HE'S A GOOD COP.
I JUST THINK HE'S OBSESSED
WITH THIS CASE.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM
GET HURT.
ALL RIGHT,
I'LL HAVE I.A.D. BRING HIM IN.
SIR, I THINK IT'D BE BETTER
IF I DID IT.
NO, THAT'S NOT PROCEDURE.
BUT IF THE SUITS
WON'T LET HIM IN
LIKE
SOME FREAKIN' LOWLIFE,
I THINK IT'LL
TEAR HIM APART.
LOOK, HE'S THE BEST
G.R.S. GUY YOU GOT.
AND I'VE ALREADY
GOT A GUY
FROM THE UNIT
WATCHING HIM.
PLEASE, JUST LET ME DO IT.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS.
ACOSTA.
ACOSTA, ARE YOU HERE?
DYLAN?
YOU GOT TO STOP, DYLAN.
WHY?
WE'RE FINALLY SPENDING
SOME QUALITY TIME TOGETHER.
RAY.
DALE, GET OUT OF HERE.
I GOT THIS HANDLED.
NO CAN DO, BUDDY.
WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?
I GOT TO
TAKE YOU IN.
I GOT ORDERS FROM
LIEUTENANT O'NEILL.
DIDN'T YOU SEE HIM?
HE'S RIGHT UP THERE!
RAY, LOOK WHO
YOU'RE TALKING TO HERE.
YOU'LL HAVE TO
COME UP WITH
SOMETHING BETTER
THAN THAT, MAN.
DON'T, RAY.
GIVE ME THE GUN.
COME ON.
COME ON WITH ME.
YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME
ABOUT EVERYTHING.
I'M SURE WE CAN GET EVERYTHING
STRAIGHTENED OUT AT THE STATION.
MAYBE NEXT TIME.
THAT'S OKAY, HEY.
SO YOU TOOK THE SERUM
HOPING IT WOULD
TURN YOU INTO SUPERMAN
EVEN THOUGH
YOU'VE SEEN
WHAT IT'S DONE
TO PEOPLE.
WHY RISK IT?
TELL ME THAT.
I CAN'T.
YOU MEAN YOU WON'T.
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
WHY
I'M YOUR PARTNER.
NO.
TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON
SO I CAN HELP YOU.
I HAD THE KILLER,
I WAS ABOUT TO TAKE HIM
WHEN YOU SHOWED UP.
YOU'RE SO ON TOP OF IT
WITH THE SERUM,
JUST TELL ME WHO HE IS
AND WHERE HE IS
SO WE CAN FIND HIM
AND BRING HIM IN.
IT HAS TO BE ME.
WHY?
YOU'RE NOT A ONE-MAN
DEPARTMENT.
RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE NOT EVEN
A MEMBER OF THIS DEPARTMENT.
I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING ELSE.
IF THAT GUY
KILLS AGAIN
WITH YOU SITTING ON
INFORMATION,
YOU'RE AN ACCESSORY
TO MURDER.
WHILE WE'RE ON THAT SUBJECT,
O'NEILL THINKS THAT YOU KILLED
THE STIFF
IN THE WAREHOUSE.
YOU HAVE HIS BLOOD
ON YOUR HAND
AND THE DNA
FROM HIS BODY
IS A VERY GOOD MATCH FOR YOURS,
EVEN WITH THE WAY
YOU'VE MIXED IT UP WITH
THIS DR. JEKYLL ACT OF YOURS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK YOU'RE OUT OF
YOUR FREAKIN' MIND, RAY.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK
SERIOUSLY.
THE ONLY GOOD NEWS IS
THAT THE DOCTOR SAYS
YOUR LEVELS ARE LOW
SO WE HAVE TIME
TO GET
THAT CANCEL-OUT STUFF
INTO YOUR SYSTEM
AND BRING YOU BACK TO NORMAL.
STRONGER AND FASTER
EQUALS SUPERIORITY.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THIS KILLER ISN'T GOING TO STOP,
AND HE WANTS ME
TO COME AFTER HIM.
WITHOUT THE SERUM
I'VE GOT NO CHANCE
AND WHILE WE ARE IN HERE
DEBATING, HE'S OUT THERE
LINING UP
HIS NEXT TARGET.
I CAN'T LET YOU GO.
YOU KNOW THAT.
THEN YOU HAVE TO DO
ONE THING FOR ME.
GO TO MARIE'S
MOTHER'S HOUSE
AND MAKE SURE MY FAMILY IS
ALL RIGHT.
AW, DAMN IT.
MOTHER-IN-LAW.
ANY SIGN OF
MARIE OR JESSE?
NO, JUST SOME
OF THEIR STUFF.
NO OTHER BLOOD.
LOOKS LIKE HE TOOK THEM
ALIVE AT LEAST.
YEAH, FOR NOW.
IT'S OKAY.
YOU HAVE TO LET ME GO.
HE COULD KILL THEM.
WE GOT A CODE BLUE WORKING,
WE'RE GOING TO FIND HIM.
I'M ALMOST READY TO
INJECT THE REAGENT.
IT'S OKAY, RAY.
YOU'RE LUCKY,
DETECTIVE.
ANOTHER DOSE OF THAT STUFF
AND WE'D NEVER COUNTERACT IT.
COME ON, RAY.
NO!
IT'S ONLY GOING TO TAKE
A MINUTE.
WHAT THE HELL'S
HAPPENING HERE? DOCTOR!
LOOKS LIKE HE'S
HAVING A SEIZURE.
COME ON, DO SOMETHING!
GOT TO GET
HIS MOUTH OPEN.
HE COULD
SWALLOW HIS TONGUE.
COME ON!
LOOK, LOOK!
HURRY UP!
( growling )
IT'S OKAY, RAY.
HOLD ON, BABY!
COME ON, DO SOMETHING!
THE STRESS IS ACTIVATING
THE SERUM IN HIS BLOOD.
STOP HIM!
I HAVE TO DO THIS.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY
TO SAVE MY FAMILY.
HEY, DAD.
WELCOME HOME.
I GUESS YOU
FIGURED OUT
MY MESSAGE.
THE OLD HOUSE.
WHERE THE HEART IS.
MY HEART, ANYWAY.
WHAT CAN I SAY?
I'M SENTIMENTAL.
WHERE ARE THEY?
SURPRISE.
EVERYONE'S HERE.
LET THEM GO, DYLAN.
THEY SHOULD LOVE IT HERE,
DON'T YOU THINK?
I ALWAYS DID.
SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO GROW UP.
UNTIL YOU DECIDED
TO GET RID OF ME
AND MOVE AWAY
SO I COULD NEVER FIND YOU.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT THIS--
A FAMILY.
ALL TOGETHER,
LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
I RAN AWAY
AND CAME BACK HERE
LOOKING FOR YOU?
WHETHER YOU
BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
WE DID WHAT WE DID
FOR YOU TOO.
LIVING LIKE THAT
WAS DESTROYING ALL OF US.
SO I GOT PUT OUT
LIKE THE TRASH AT THE CURB?
YOU WASHED YOUR HANDS
AND STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN.
I MADE THE DECISION,
SO TAKE IT OUT ON ME.
LET THEM GO.
COME AND GET THEM.
PUT THE NEEDLE DOWN
AND I WILL.
IF YOU DROP THE GUN.
I'VE GOT ANOTHER SURPRISE
FOR YOU.
I TOOK THE SERUM.
I CAN DO WHATEVER I HAVE TO NOW.
NOTHING YOU DO SURPRISES ME.
IT COULDN'T--
WE'RE TOO MUCH ALIKE!
I GOT IT FROM YOU,
YOU KNOW.
YOU GOT IT FROM
A TEST TUBE
BEFORE
YOU WERE BORN.
NOT G.R.S.!
THE ANGER, THE RAGE.
ONE PLACE THEY TOOK ME
WHEN I RAN AWAY,
WELL, THEY STUDIED ME,
AND GUESS WHAT?
THE GENE THAT MAKES ME VIOLENT
WASN'T ALTERED.
IT CAME STRAIGHT FROM YOU, DAD!
I'M A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.
I KNOW YOU BETTER
THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELF.
I KNOW YOU WERE ASHAMED
WHEN I STARTED TO CHANGE
AND I KNOW
YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE SERUM
JUST TO PROTECT
SOCIETY FROM ME.
YOU WERE COVERING
YOUR TRACKS,
MAKING SURE THAT
NO ONE FOUND OUT
ABOUT YOUR
DIRTY LITTLE SECRET.
OH, BUT NOW EVERYONE'S
GOING TO KNOW!
THE REAL SURPRISE IS
I DID ALL THIS
JUST SO YOU'D HAVE TO TAKE
THE SERUM AND CHANGE YOURSELF.
NOW YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME,
AND YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK!
HERE, JESSE!
MARIE, TALK TO HIM,
BRING HIM BACK.
HE'S MORE
AFRAID OF YOU
THAN HE WAS
OF DYLAN.
AND SO AM I.

THE MOST POWERFUL THING
WE PASS ALONG TO OUR CHILDREN
MAY NOT RESIDE IN THE GENES,
BUT IN THE SOUL.
SECTION THREE,
SUBHEADING "GENETIC REJECTION
SYNDROME, OR G.R.S.":
A RECENT PHENOMENON
LINKED TO THE BLACK MARKET
IN GENETIC ENGINEERING
OF THE DNA OF HUMAN FETUSES
RESULTING IN TRAGIC
IRREVERSIBLE MUTATIONS.
ANOTHER G.R.S. ATTACK
FOR YOU, RAY.
WHAT DO WE GOT?
NIGHT WATCHMAN WENT
TO MAKE HIS ROUNDS,
NEVER CAME BACK.
SUPERVISOR SHOWED UP,
FOUND THE BODY...
IT WAS TOO LATE.
LET'S HAVE A LOOK.
EVENING, CAROLYN.
DETECTIVE VENABLE.
HOW LONG'S
HE BEEN DEAD?
JUDGING FROM TEMP AND LIVIDITY,
HALF HOUR, 45 MINUTES.
CAUSE?
CERVICAL TRAUMA.
SOMEONE WITH A LOT OF STRENGTH
SNAPPED HIS NECK.
BITE AND CLAW MARKS
ARE POST-MORTEM.
TISSUE
AND SERIOLOGY?
ALREADY ON RUSH TO THE LAB.
YOU'RE THE BEST.
YOU SAY THAT TO ALL THE GIRLS.
YEAH, RENFRO HERE.
OKAY, HOLD YOUR 20.
WE'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
THEY GOT HIM SPOTTED.
COVER THE EXITS.
( chirping )
( wings flapping )
( creaking )
THERE!
RAY, BE CAREFUL.

WHAT ARE YOU, NUTS?
LET IT GO!
RAY!
HANG ON, MAN!
HANG ON, RAY!
HANG ON, RAY.
HANG ON.
LAY OFF OF HIM!

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY
WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND
TO
--THE OUTER LIMITS.
WITH EVERY SCIENTIFIC ADVANCE
WE GROW CLOSER TO UNLOCKING
THE MYSTERIES OF LIFE
AND CREATION.
BUT WHAT HAVE WE GAINED
IF IN THE PROCESS
WE LOSE OUR HUMANITY?
THIS SUSPECT, HE'S DEFINITELY
ONE OF THESE GENETIC
REJECTION CASES?
YES, SHE'S G.R.S.
BUT BASED ON
THE LAB WORK
AND THE TEETH
AND CLAW MARKS,
SHE COULD NOT HAVE
BEEN THE KILLER.
LIEUTENANT O'NEILL,
IF SHE DIDN'T KILL THIS MAN,
WHO DID?
WE'RE WORKING
ON THAT.
HOW?
WITH YOUR FANCY G.R.S.
RESPONSE UNIT
THAT'S COST THE TAXPAYERS
HALF A MILLION DOLLARS
AND IS SO FAR
COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE?
WE CAPTURED ANOTHER ONE
LAST NIGHT.
NOT THE ONE RESPONSIBLE
FOR THIS ATROCITY.
HE'S STILL OUT THERE,
FREE TO KILL AGAIN.
THE SWITCHBOARD
AT CITY HALL
IS FLOODED WITH CALLS
FROM SCARED CITIZENS.
RADIO'S RUNNING WILD
WITH G.R.S. STORIES.
I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT EXACTLY IS BEING DONE
TO ADDRESS THIS SITUATION.
DETECTIVE VENABLE
IS OUR EXPERT
ON THE SUBJECT.
DETECTIVE,
PLEASE BRING
THE CHIEF AND COUNCILMAN
UP TO SPEED.
I'M NO EXPERT, BUT I DO KNOW
WE'RE NOT UP AGAINST
THE SAME PROBLEM WE WERE
WHEN THIS STARTED SHOWING UP
ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO.
UNDERGROUND LABS TURNED OUT
GENE-ALTERING DRUGS,
AND MOST OF THE TIME IT WORKED--
PERFECT KIDS WHO GREW UP
TO BE PERFECT ADULTS.
BUT SOMETIMES
IT RESULTED IN G.R.S. KIDS.
THEY LOOKED SCARY,
THEY HAD BAD TEMPERS
AND THEY ATTACKED PEOPLE
SOMETIMES.
A LOT OF THEM GOT CAUGHT
AND PEOPLE GOT BORED
WITH THE STORY.
BUT THE ONES THAT SURVIVED
WENT UNDERGROUND
AND THEY GREW UP.
THEIR HORMONES KICKED IN,
AND YOU CAN MULTIPLY THE THREAT
BY A HUNDRED NOW.
WE'VE GOT G.R.S. ADULTS
RUNNING AROUND,
AND THEY ARE STRONGER AND FASTER
AND SMARTER THAN EVER
AND THEY'RE GETTING BOLD.
YOU REALLY PUT
THEIR MINDS AT EASE.
O'NEILL CAN GET SOMEONE ELSE
TO TELL HIM FAIRY TALES.
BESIDES, IF I REALLY WANTED
TO SHAKE HIM UP,
I'D HAVE
SHOWN HIM THIS.
LOOKS LIKE
AN ENHANCEMENT SERUM.
DID YOU BUST A LAB?
NO, TOOK IT OFF
THE G.R.S. GIRL LAST NIGHT.
WHY DO YOU THINK SHE'D HAVE IT?
WHEN EVERYBODY
STARTED CRACKING DOWN
ON GEN-ENGINEERING,
LABS NEEDED
A NEW MARKETPLACE.
SOMEBODY HID THEM,
MAKING THIS STUFF
CUSTOM ENGINEERED
FOR ADULTS--
CATCH UP
WITH THE ONES
WHO HAD A HEAD START
IN THE WOMB.
WHAT WOULD SOMEONE WHO'S
ALREADY G.R.S. WANT WITH IT?
IN THEORY IT WORKS LIKE
A BOOSTER FOR THEM.
THEIR SYSTEMS ARE
ALREADY ALTERED.
THE SERUM JUST HEIGHTENS
THE EFFECTS.
THE STUFF WE'VE TESTED CAN BE
COUNTERACTED UP TO 72 HOURS
AS LONG AS THE TOTAL AMOUNT
INGESTED IS MINIMAL.
IT BONDS WITH THE
MITOCHONDRIAL CHAIN.
AND MAKES THEM
PERMANENTLY MORE MUTATED?
MAYBE THEY LIKE BEING
WHAT THEY ARE.
BE ALL THAT YOU CAN BE.
YEAH, RIGHT.
YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT
CIVIL RIGHTS?
TAKE IT UP WITH
THE SUPREME COURT.
DO YOU
BELIEVE THIS?
SOME LAWYER
WANTS TO TALK
TO THAT G.R.S. GIRL
BEFORE WE DO.
MAYBE HE KNOWS WHAT HAPPENS
TO THEM AFTER WE INTERROGATE.
NO, HE KNOWS
HE CAN GET PUBLICITY
FOR TRYING
TO DEFEND A FREAK.
I JUST CAME HERE
TO TELL YOU
THAT YOU'VE GOT
VISITORS.
HEY, DAD.
HEY, PAL!
THIS IS A SURPRISE.
UH, IT
SHOULDN'T BE.
YOU'RE SUPPOSED
TO TAKE JESSE
TO HIS BASEBALL
PRACTICE
WHILE I VISIT
MY MOTHER.
OH, I'M SORRY, HONEY.
I COMPLETELY FORGOT.
AGAIN?
HEY, JESS,
WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN
TO THE SQUADROOM FRIDGE,
GET YOURSELF A SODA?
OKAY.
AND ONE FOR
YOUR OLD MAN TOO.
LOOK, LOOK.
I KNOW THIS IS
MY FAULT,
BUT THIS IS
A REALLY BAD TIME.
WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF HEAT
FROM DOWNTOWN ON THIS CASE.
IT'S OKAY...IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I'LL JUST GET TO MY MOM'S
A BIT LATE.
JESSE WAS REALLY
COUNTING ON YOU.
I KNOW, I KNOW.
I'LL MAKE IT UP TO HIM.
RAY, THEY'RE
READY FOR YOU.
AND YOU TOO.
SURE.
LEAVE HER HANDS FREE.
I'LL TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
THAT WAS BRAVE.
NOT REALLY.
WE BOTH KNOW THOSE
LEG RESTRAINTS ARE HOTWIRED.
YOU TRY ANYTHING,
I JUST HIT THAT BUTTON.
110 VOLTS?
I'D BARELY FEEL IT.
THEN I'M MORE STUPID
THAN BRAVE.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
YOU MUST THINK
I'M
--STUPID,
DETECTIVE.
YOU DON'T CARE
WHAT MY NAME IS.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M MORE INTERESTED
IN YOUR AGE, WHERE YOU LIVE--
MELANIE.
I WAS NAMED FOR MY GRANDMOTHER,
BUT SHE WAS SHORT.
MY PARENTS WANTED ME
TO BE TALL.
HERE I AM, 5-FOOT-7.
THEIR PRIDE AND JOY.
YOU LIVE WITH YOUR PARENTS,
MELANIE?
YOU JUST WANT
TO HEAR ME TALK,
WATCH ME MOVE,
GET INSIDE MY HEAD...
YOU'RE NOT TESTING ME.
YOU'RE TESTING YOURSELF.
INSIGHT.
THAT'S NOT LISTED
IN G.R.S. STUDIES.
DON'T FLATTER ME.
YOU THINK WE'RE THE SICK ONES?
BUT IN NATURE
STRONGER AND FASTER
EQUALS SUPERIORITY.
ANYTHING ELSE YOU'D LIKE TO ASK
BEFORE THEY EXTERMINATE ME?
THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAPPEN.
YOU WANT TO KNOW
THE REAL DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN US, DETECTIVE?
YOU LIVE WITH FEAR.
I WON'T GIVE THEM
THE SATISFACTION.
THOSE G.R.S. FREAKS
ARE NUTS, YOU KNOW THAT.
PROBABLY HER WAY
OF CHECKING OUT
ON HER OWN TERMS.
NO,
SHE WAS TOYING WITH ME.
IT WAS HER WAY OF TELLING ME
THAT WE CAN NEVER STOP THEM,
CAN NEVER ANTICIPATE
THEIR MOVES.
MY OLD MAN WAS
ON THE FORCE 33 YEARS.
SURE AIN'T
THE SAME WORLD ANYMORE.
ALL HE HAD
TO DEAL WITH WAS
GANGS, CRACK COCAINE
AND AFFIRMATIVE ACTION.
NOW WE GOT BRIGHT BOYS
LIKE O'NEILL
MAKING LIEUTENANT
AT 23.
DON'T TELL ME HE'S NOT
ONE OF THOSE BIO-BRATS.
ON THE OTHER HAND
WE GOT THE G.R.S. FREAKS
TRYING TO MAKE CHUMPS
OUT OF US.
MAYBE IT'S WORTH THE RISK
TO HAVE A KID THAT'S BETTER
THAN THE REST.
THERE SURE AIN'T
MUCH PLACE
FOR US PLAIN-OLD
HOMEGROWN HUMANS ANYMORE.
MAYBE WE OUGHT
TO TRY THE JUICE
THAT RAY GOT
OFF THAT FREAK.
WE'LL ALL MAKE GOLD SHIELD.
NAH.
HERE'S TO OLD, DUMB AND SLOW.
SALUT.
NO.
SORRY, MAN.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR FRIEND.
I MADE SURE SHE DIED QUICKLY.
YOU BASTARD!
NO.
I'M PROUD TO SAY I'M A VENABLE
THROUGH AND THROUGH.
DYLAN?
YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO DO BETTER
IF YOU WANT
TO CATCH ME...DAD.
( knocking )
RAY?
ARE YOU COMING
TO BED?
IT'S ALMOST 3:00.
I'M FINISHING UP
SOME CASE WORK.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE.
HIS NAME IS
DYLAN.
HE WAS
BROUGHT TO YOU
10 YEARS AGO...
JULY?
I REMEMBER HIM.
MAYBE YOU REMEMBER
WHAT YOU PROMISED--
THAT HE'D BE SAFE,
THAT YOU'D CARE FOR HIM,
KEEP HIM OUT OF TROUBLE?
AND YOU PROMISED NEVER TO BE
IN CONTACT WITH ME
OR THIS ORGANIZATION AGAIN.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
LOOK, MR. ACOSTA,
I'LL LEVEL WITH YOU.
I THINK DYLAN IS IN
SERIOUS TROUBLE
AND I WANT TO KNOW
WHERE HE'S BEEN,
WHAT HE'S BEEN
DOING.
FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS?
YOU MUST HAVE SOME RECORDS.
YOU MUST TAKE THE KIDS
SOMEPLACE.
NOW, LOOK--
YOU CAME HERE A LONG TIME AGO,
YOU PAID 40,000 CASH,
NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
I'M ASKING THEM NOW.
IT'S A LITTLE LATE FOR THAT.
WE TOOK A PROBLEM OFF YOUR HANDS
AND YOU RESUMED YOUR LIFE.
MAYBE YOU AND YOUR WIFE
HAD SOME NICE FANTASY
ABOUT DOING WHAT'S BEST
FOR YOUR SON.
MAYBE IT HELPED YOU SLEEP
AT NIGHT,
BUT DO YOU REALLY THINK
FOR THAT KIND OF MONEY
WE'D TAKE
A LIFE-LONG INTEREST?
THE TRUTH IS,
WE SEND THEM TO LABOR CAMPS
OUT OF THE COUNTRY.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THAT
I HAVE NO CLUE.
THIS ISN'T DAYCARE.
YOU GOT A COMPLAINT
ABOUT THE SERVICE,
CALL THE COPS.
( woman )
COME ON, KIDS,
SEE YOU GUYS.
BYE, JESS.
SEE YA.
( car driving away )
HI.
I WAS WATCHING
YOU PLAY.
YOU HOLD THE BAT TOO LOW.
MY FATHER TAUGHT ME.
YOU DIDN'T THINK SOMEONE LIKE ME
HAD A FATHER.
I BET YOUR DAD
TAKES YOU PLACES,
THROWS A BALL
AROUND WITH YOU.
DOESN'T HE?
WHERE DOES HE TAKE YOU?
WHERE?
GRANDMA'S...THE BEACH.
WHERE ELSE?
PIZZA.
PIZZA.
PRETTY NICE LIFE YOU'VE GOT.
JESSE, SWEETIE.
MAMA'S HERE.
EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE OKAY NOW.
NOBODY CAN HURT YOU HERE.
ALL RIGHT, HONEY?
SHH, IT'S OKAY.
SO HE JUST WALKED IN
THE FRONT DOOR?
YEAH.
ABOUT FIVE MINUTES
AFTER I GOT OFF
THE PHONE WITH YOU.
WHAT DID HE SAY?
THAT A G.R.S. PERSON
TOOK HIM.
THEN HE JUST THREW HIS ARMS
AROUND ME AND CRIED.
WELL, IS HE ALL RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT?
NO, OF COURSE
HE'S NOT ALL RIGHT.
DIDN'T YOU SEE HIM
IN THERE?
HE'S SCARED TO DEATH,
HE'S TRAUMATIZED!
ALL RIGHT,
JUST CALM DOWN.
DON'T YOU TELL ME
TO CALM DOWN!
SOMETHING'S
GOING ON HERE,
SOMETHING YOU'RE NOT
TELLING ME ABOUT.
WHAT IS IT, RAY?
WHY WOULD ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE
PICK OUT OUR SON?
IT'S ONE OF YOUR
CASES, ISN'T IT?
SIT DOWN.
IT'S DYLAN.
DYLAN?
HE JUMPED ME AT THE PLACE
WHERE CAROLYN FLEURY
WAS MURDERED.
HE KILLED HER,
AND HE WAITED FOR ME TO SHOW UP.
AND I THINK HE DID IT
JUST TO GET AT ME,
AND NOW...JESSE.
I WAS LATE PICKING HIM UP
BECAUSE YOU WERE TOO BUSY
AND YOU
DIDN'T EVEN TELL ME
IT WAS ABOUT DYLAN?
HOW COULD YOU KEEP
SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM ME?
YOU COULD HAVE KILLED OUR SON!
DYLAN IS OUR SON TOO.
WELL, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?
I'LL DEAL WITH IT.
HOW?
I DON'T KNOW YET.
WELL, WHAT IF HE COMES
AFTER JESSE?
RAY, WE HAVE TO TELL SOMEONE.
NO!
( door opening )
HEY, JESS.
HE TOLD ME TO TELL YOU
SOMETHING.
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART IS.
( Dylan )
YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO DO BETTER...
( G.R.S. girl )
YOU LIVE WITH FEAR.
...IF YOU WANT
TO CATCH ME, DAD.
STRONGER
AND FASTER.
DADDY...
STRONGER AND FASTER
EQUALS SUPERIORITY.
LIVE WITH FEAR...
LIVE WITH FEAR...
( phone ringing loudly )
( background sounds amplified )
HONEY, IF YOU
CAN'T GET A SITTER,
YOUR MOM AND I
WILL WATCH THE BABY.
HAVE A GOOD TIME.
( chalk squeaking )
WHAT ARE YOU
DOING, RAY,
CHECKING UP
ON THE JANITOR?
I DROPPED MY PEN.
DID YOU GET THE RESULTS BACK,
THOSE DNA SWABS FROM
THE PARKING GARAGE?
NO,
THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON THEM.
I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE
WITH THE LAB.
YO!
EARTH TO RAY.
YOU OKAY?
YEAH, YEAH.
IS THE LIGHTING IN HERE
DIFFERENT TODAY?
LOOKS LIKE
THE SAME OLD
FUNERAL PARLOR
ATMOSPHERE TO ME.
WHAT?
I'VE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT
WHY WE CAN'T
PIN THIS GUY.
I REMEMBERED WHAT
CAROLYN SAID
ABOUT G.R.S.,
ABOUT ENHANCED
CAPABILITIES.
WHAT IF THEY CAN SEE
THINGS THAT WE CAN'T?
LIKE WHAT?
LIKE TRAILS.
RAY,
THIS IS A CITY HERE.
THE ONLY TRAILS ARE
IN THE PARK.
I MEAN SOMETHING THAT SHOWS
WHERE A PERSON'S BEEN.
LIKE FOOTPRINTS?
NO, LIKE HEAT
OR ENERGY.
SOMETHING UNIQUE
THAT THEY GIVE OFF.
IT TAKES ANOTHER ONE LIKE THEM
TO SEE AND FOLLOW IT.
SO IT WOULD TAKE G.R.S.
TO FIND THE G.R.S.
EXACTLY.
NO, THAT SEEMS
PRETTY WEIRD TO ME.
THERE'S A SCIENTIFIC BASIS!
YOU KNOW
HOW SHARKS HUNT?
NO.
THEY CAN DETECT
AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD
COMING OFF ANOTHER ANIMAL.
IT GIVES OFF
A FEAR VIBE
AND THEY LOCK
INTO IT.
OR BLOODHOUNDS--
THE PHEROMONES OF WHOEVER
THEY'RE AFTER SHOW UP LIKE MAPS.
PHEROMONES...WHAT ARE YOU,
TURNING INTO MR. WIZARD?
I THINK I'M ONTO SOMETHING HERE.
EVEN IF YOU'RE RIGHT,
WHAT'S IT GOT TO DO WITH US?
WE'RE LOOKING FOR
A FREAK, NOT A SHARK.
ACCORDING TO
YOUR THEORY,
WOULDN'T IT TAKE
ONE OF THEM
TO FIND ONE OF THEM,
TO BE ABLE TO SEE
THIS TRAIL THING?
LAST I LOOKED, THERE WAS
NO FREAKS ON THE FORCE,
ALTHOUGH SULLIVAN DOES HAVE
A LOT OF HAIR ON HIS BACK.
NICE GOING, SLICK.
CAN'T TAKE YOU
ANYWHERE.
RAY!
DYLAN!
DYLAN, STOP!
DYLAN?
HI, DADDY.
WHERE ARE YOU?
COME AND GET ME!
DYLAN!
DYLAN, STOP!
DYLAN!
HA, HA!
YOU'RE GETTING CLOSE!
BUT NOT CLOSE ENOUGH.
YOU WANT TO HAVE IT OUT
WITH ME, FINE.
BUT NOT HERE.
NOT IN THIS HOUSE.
RAY.
BEFORE YOU SAY
ANYTHING,
I CAN EXPLAIN.
YOUR FACE...
YOUR HANDS.
WHAT IN GOD'S NAME
HAVE YOU DONE?
I TOOK SOME
GENETIC ENHANCEMENT.
WHAT KIND OF
GENETIC ENHANCEMENT?
SOMETHING TO HELP ME DO
WHAT I HAVE TO DO.
THE SAME POISON THEY PUT IN ME
WHEN I WAS PREGNANT?
NO, NOW THEY MAKE SOMETHING
THAT WORKS IN AN ADULT.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
LOOK WHAT IT DID TO DYLAN.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO STOP HIM!
HE'S OUT TO HURT US,
CAN'T YOU SEE THAT?
I WANT YOU TO TAKE JESSE
TO YOUR MOTHER'S HOUSE
AND LET ME
HANDLE THIS.
LISTEN TO ME.
LISTEN TO ME.
I'M IN CONTROL
AND THE PROCESS IS REVERSIBLE.
I'LL ALTER MYSELF ENOUGH
TO CATCH HIM AND MAKE HIM STOP
AND THEN I PROMISE
I WILL GO TO A CLINIC
AND GET TREATED
AND EVERYTHING WILL BE BACK TO
THE WAY
IT SHOULD BE.
THINGS HAVE NEVER BEEN
THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE.
NOT SINCE WE MADE
THAT HORRIBLE MISTAKE.
DO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT
OUR WHOLE LIVES?
WE WANTED WHAT WAS BEST.
NO, IT WAS FEAR
THAT HE WOULDN'T BE
PERFECT.
HE TURNED OUT PERFECT,
DIDN'T HE?
PERFECT NIGHTMARE.
CAN'T GO BACK AND UNDO IT,
SO NOW I HAVE TO FIX IT.
BY DOING THIS TO YOURSELF?
JUST TRUST ME!
NO, I TRUSTED YOU
THE FIRST TIME.
YOU SAID WE WERE JUST
HELPING NATURE ALONG.
I NEVER WANTED TO DO IT.
IT SCARED ME, I...
BUT YOU TOLD ME
IT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT.
I BELIEVED YOU.
DAMN IT,
I BELIEVED YOU.
MARIE, PLEASE.
STAY AWAY FROM ME!
I FOLLOWED HIM IN.
HE MUST HAVE
JUMPED 30 FEET.
IS HE ON SOMETHING?
I DON'T KNOW.
IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE HIM.
LOOK, HE'S A GOOD COP.
I JUST THINK HE'S OBSESSED
WITH THIS CASE.
I DON'T WANT TO SEE HIM
GET HURT.
ALL RIGHT,
I'LL HAVE I.A.D. BRING HIM IN.
SIR, I THINK IT'D BE BETTER
IF I DID IT.
NO, THAT'S NOT PROCEDURE.
BUT IF THE SUITS
WON'T LET HIM IN
LIKE
SOME FREAKIN' LOWLIFE,
I THINK IT'LL
TEAR HIM APART.
LOOK, HE'S THE BEST
G.R.S. GUY YOU GOT.
AND I'VE ALREADY
GOT A GUY
FROM THE UNIT
WATCHING HIM.
PLEASE, JUST LET ME DO IT.
ALL RIGHT.
THANKS.
ACOSTA.
ACOSTA, ARE YOU HERE?
DYLAN?
YOU GOT TO STOP, DYLAN.
WHY?
WE'RE FINALLY SPENDING
SOME QUALITY TIME TOGETHER.
RAY.
DALE, GET OUT OF HERE.
I GOT THIS HANDLED.
NO CAN DO, BUDDY.
WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?
I GOT TO
TAKE YOU IN.
I GOT ORDERS FROM
LIEUTENANT O'NEILL.
DIDN'T YOU SEE HIM?
HE'S RIGHT UP THERE!
RAY, LOOK WHO
YOU'RE TALKING TO HERE.
YOU'LL HAVE TO
COME UP WITH
SOMETHING BETTER
THAN THAT, MAN.
DON'T, RAY.
GIVE ME THE GUN.
COME ON.
COME ON WITH ME.
YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME
ABOUT EVERYTHING.
I'M SURE WE CAN GET EVERYTHING
STRAIGHTENED OUT AT THE STATION.
MAYBE NEXT TIME.
THAT'S OKAY, HEY.
SO YOU TOOK THE SERUM
HOPING IT WOULD
TURN YOU INTO SUPERMAN
EVEN THOUGH
YOU'VE SEEN
WHAT IT'S DONE
TO PEOPLE.
WHY RISK IT?
TELL ME THAT.
I CAN'T.
YOU MEAN YOU WON'T.
YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.
WHY
I'M YOUR PARTNER.
NO.
TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON
SO I CAN HELP YOU.
I HAD THE KILLER,
I WAS ABOUT TO TAKE HIM
WHEN YOU SHOWED UP.
YOU'RE SO ON TOP OF IT
WITH THE SERUM,
JUST TELL ME WHO HE IS
AND WHERE HE IS
SO WE CAN FIND HIM
AND BRING HIM IN.
IT HAS TO BE ME.
WHY?
YOU'RE NOT A ONE-MAN
DEPARTMENT.
RIGHT NOW, YOU'RE NOT EVEN
A MEMBER OF THIS DEPARTMENT.
I'LL TELL YOU
SOMETHING ELSE.
IF THAT GUY
KILLS AGAIN
WITH YOU SITTING ON
INFORMATION,
YOU'RE AN ACCESSORY
TO MURDER.
WHILE WE'RE ON THAT SUBJECT,
O'NEILL THINKS THAT YOU KILLED
THE STIFF
IN THE WAREHOUSE.
YOU HAVE HIS BLOOD
ON YOUR HAND
AND THE DNA
FROM HIS BODY
IS A VERY GOOD MATCH FOR YOURS,
EVEN WITH THE WAY
YOU'VE MIXED IT UP WITH
THIS DR. JEKYLL ACT OF YOURS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK YOU'RE OUT OF
YOUR FREAKIN' MIND, RAY.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK
SERIOUSLY.
THE ONLY GOOD NEWS IS
THAT THE DOCTOR SAYS
YOUR LEVELS ARE LOW
SO WE HAVE TIME
TO GET
THAT CANCEL-OUT STUFF
INTO YOUR SYSTEM
AND BRING YOU BACK TO NORMAL.
STRONGER AND FASTER
EQUALS SUPERIORITY.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
THIS KILLER ISN'T GOING TO STOP,
AND HE WANTS ME
TO COME AFTER HIM.
WITHOUT THE SERUM
I'VE GOT NO CHANCE
AND WHILE WE ARE IN HERE
DEBATING, HE'S OUT THERE
LINING UP
HIS NEXT TARGET.
I CAN'T LET YOU GO.
YOU KNOW THAT.
THEN YOU HAVE TO DO
ONE THING FOR ME.
GO TO MARIE'S
MOTHER'S HOUSE
AND MAKE SURE MY FAMILY IS
ALL RIGHT.
AW, DAMN IT.
MOTHER-IN-LAW.
ANY SIGN OF
MARIE OR JESSE?
NO, JUST SOME
OF THEIR STUFF.
NO OTHER BLOOD.
LOOKS LIKE HE TOOK THEM
ALIVE AT LEAST.
YEAH, FOR NOW.
IT'S OKAY.
YOU HAVE TO LET ME GO.
HE COULD KILL THEM.
WE GOT A CODE BLUE WORKING,
WE'RE GOING TO FIND HIM.
I'M ALMOST READY TO
INJECT THE REAGENT.
IT'S OKAY, RAY.
YOU'RE LUCKY,
DETECTIVE.
ANOTHER DOSE OF THAT STUFF
AND WE'D NEVER COUNTERACT IT.
COME ON, RAY.
NO!
IT'S ONLY GOING TO TAKE
A MINUTE.
WHAT THE HELL'S
HAPPENING HERE? DOCTOR!
LOOKS LIKE HE'S
HAVING A SEIZURE.
COME ON, DO SOMETHING!
GOT TO GET
HIS MOUTH OPEN.
HE COULD
SWALLOW HIS TONGUE.
COME ON!
LOOK, LOOK!
HURRY UP!
( growling )
IT'S OKAY, RAY.
HOLD ON, BABY!
COME ON, DO SOMETHING!
THE STRESS IS ACTIVATING
THE SERUM IN HIS BLOOD.
STOP HIM!
I HAVE TO DO THIS.
IT'S THE ONLY WAY
TO SAVE MY FAMILY.
HEY, DAD.
WELCOME HOME.
I GUESS YOU
FIGURED OUT
MY MESSAGE.
THE OLD HOUSE.
WHERE THE HEART IS.
MY HEART, ANYWAY.
WHAT CAN I SAY?
I'M SENTIMENTAL.
WHERE ARE THEY?
SURPRISE.
EVERYONE'S HERE.
LET THEM GO, DYLAN.
THEY SHOULD LOVE IT HERE,
DON'T YOU THINK?
I ALWAYS DID.
SUCH A GREAT PLACE TO GROW UP.
UNTIL YOU DECIDED
TO GET RID OF ME
AND MOVE AWAY
SO I COULD NEVER FIND YOU.
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
I WANT THIS--
A FAMILY.
ALL TOGETHER,
LIKE THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.
DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY TIMES
I RAN AWAY
AND CAME BACK HERE
LOOKING FOR YOU?
WHETHER YOU
BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
WE DID WHAT WE DID
FOR YOU TOO.
LIVING LIKE THAT
WAS DESTROYING ALL OF US.
SO I GOT PUT OUT
LIKE THE TRASH AT THE CURB?
YOU WASHED YOUR HANDS
AND STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN.
I MADE THE DECISION,
SO TAKE IT OUT ON ME.
LET THEM GO.
COME AND GET THEM.
PUT THE NEEDLE DOWN
AND I WILL.
IF YOU DROP THE GUN.
I'VE GOT ANOTHER SURPRISE
FOR YOU.
I TOOK THE SERUM.
I CAN DO WHATEVER I HAVE TO NOW.
NOTHING YOU DO SURPRISES ME.
IT COULDN'T--
WE'RE TOO MUCH ALIKE!
I GOT IT FROM YOU,
YOU KNOW.
YOU GOT IT FROM
A TEST TUBE
BEFORE
YOU WERE BORN.
NOT G.R.S.!
THE ANGER, THE RAGE.
ONE PLACE THEY TOOK ME
WHEN I RAN AWAY,
WELL, THEY STUDIED ME,
AND GUESS WHAT?
THE GENE THAT MAKES ME VIOLENT
WASN'T ALTERED.
IT CAME STRAIGHT FROM YOU, DAD!
I'M A CHIP OFF THE OLD BLOCK.
I KNOW YOU BETTER
THAN YOU KNOW YOURSELF.
I KNOW YOU WERE ASHAMED
WHEN I STARTED TO CHANGE
AND I KNOW
YOU DIDN'T TAKE THE SERUM
JUST TO PROTECT
SOCIETY FROM ME.
YOU WERE COVERING
YOUR TRACKS,
MAKING SURE THAT
NO ONE FOUND OUT
ABOUT YOUR
DIRTY LITTLE SECRET.
OH, BUT NOW EVERYONE'S
GOING TO KNOW!
THE REAL SURPRISE IS
I DID ALL THIS
JUST SO YOU'D HAVE TO TAKE
THE SERUM AND CHANGE YOURSELF.
NOW YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME,
AND YOU CAN NEVER GO BACK!
HERE, JESSE!
MARIE, TALK TO HIM,
BRING HIM BACK.
HE'S MORE
AFRAID OF YOU
THAN HE WAS
OF DYLAN.
AND SO AM I.
