Warehouse 13 (2009–2014): Season 3, Episode 9 - Shadows - full transcript

JANE: Previously on
Warehouse 13...

You are allowed to reveal
the true nature of our work
to one person.

I was insubordinate.

I drew my gun
on Mrs. Frederic,
and she fired me.

MRS. FREDERIC:
We answer to
a higher authority.

ARTIE:
These are the Regents?

(SCREAMING)
Philip!

You are the Guardian now.

Hey, I want you to
meet my partner.

Mom.

PETE: You can't be
a Regent, okay?



You're my mom.
My mom can't be a Regent.

How can my mom be a
Regent and not have told me?

I'm sorry, Pete, just calm
down and let me explain.

Okay, fine. Explain.

Explain why
you didn't tell me.

I wanted to tell you,
Pete, but I...

But you didn't,
so I went on living my life

on some kind of
need-to-know basis.

No, it wasn't like that.
It was a lot more complicated.

Peter, please sit down.
I can't concentrate...

Fine.

I'm sorry, darling.

I will explain it all.

Just let me start
at the beginning.



MRS. FREDERIC:
Some other time, Jane.

A time when the Warehouse
isn't under attack,

and someone isn't
trying to kill you.

Arthur's researching
the company that
funded your mercenary.

A to Z Technologies.

We are not equipped
for military action,

yet it would seem
we are at war.

A to Z Technologies.

There's something
about that name.

I have a very bad
feeling about it.

You what?

You what?
You have a feeling,

you mean, like
my kind of feeling?

You get vibes, too?

Oh, jeez, Louise, do I know
anything about you at all?

Peter, please.

Okay, just...
(CLEARS THROAT)
Just tell me this.

If the Regents
hadn't been attacked,
would you

or you

have ever told me?

Yeah. That's what I thought.

He needs time, Irene.

We don't have
any time, Jane.

Jason, I'm just
running to the store.

Oh, don't forget to stop
at the drycleaners.

Okay. I'll be back
in an hour.

MAN: What was that?

(INDISTINCT)

(ENGINE SPUTTERING)
Jason, the car won't start.

Jason?

Jason?

CLAUDIA: No, I'm not
going to leave it alone
because you still

haven't answered
my question, Artie.
Why did you fire Steve?

Look, someone is
picking off the Regents
one by one.

We just can't sit
here and do nothing.

I didn't,
I didn't fire Steve,
Mrs. Frederic did.

And we are not
doing nothing.

Leena and I are
fortifying the Warehouse,

and Regent Security
is investigating.

There's obviously more to this
than you're telling me.
Regent Security?

(BOTH ARGUING)

Enough! Let this go,
both of you.

We have a ping.

A man in Portland, he vanished
from his driveway yesterday,

in a brilliant flash of light.

And I am sending
the two of you.

We can't work
a case right now.
A ping?

(BOTH ARGUING)

Silence! This is not
snag, bag and nag!

When I say go,
you go!

Now! March!

Not you.
(WHIMPERS)

Stay.
Go back to your bed.

Yes.

See? Why can't they
all be like you?

Hey.

You, uh, want to talk?

I know how hard

it must be for you
to find out about
your mom like that.

I... (EXHALES)

I can't imagine it if was me.

Well...

You might feel
like an idiot,

and you might feel

like you never really
knew your own mother.

She's your mom, Pete.
Of course, you know her.

I mean, I even
know her a little bit.

We did survive
a crumbling building
together. (CHUCKLES)

And I think that
she's a brave,

strong, amazing woman
who loves you very much.

Then why
wouldn't she tell me?

I mean,
I'm a Warehouse agent.

It's not like I'm not
in on the secret.

I don't know, but she had to
have her reasons, right?

Maybe she was trying
to protect you.

Oh, right.

Or maybe my whole life's
been one big lie.

I'm some pawn to
the Regents and Mrs. Frederic.

Ever since I found out that

Sam was killed
because of an artifact,

I've started to wonder
if we all are.

But I've also started
to wonder if it matters.

It matters.

Are you happy?
That's not the point, Myka.

Because I think you are.

And what difference
does it make if
it's a part of

a master plan,
or if it's just dumb luck?

It makes a difference to me.

JANE: I've lied to him.

Violated his trust.

What kind of
mother does that?

A good one.

It's not easy for us,
doing what we do.

We keep so many secrets,
even from our own children.

It's different for you, Irene.

Your son isn't an agent.

You knew I didn't
want this for Pete.

I was always afraid
something like this
would happen.

You went against my wishes.

Jane, he belongs here.
You know he does.

You raised him for this

without even realizing it.

He'll come around.

But right now, I need
for you to concentrate

on A to Z Technologies.

I am trying.

If I could just somehow
dig out that memory.

Of course.

Why didn't I think of that?
Come with me.

Okay, so according to
Mrs. Kinser,

her husband was
standing right there
when he disappeared

in a big flash of light.

Anything else?
Clap of thunder?
Poof of smoke?

No. No smoke,
but she did say that

after the flash,
her car battery died,
the porch lights blew,

and the power around
the entire block went out
for a few seconds.

Okay, so what?
Something magnetic?

Maybe. That draws its
energy from the power
sources around it.

Okay. I'll call Artie
and see if anything pops.

Could you do it
from the car?
I want to check out

that T-shirt shop that
Kinser ran downtown.

Yeah. Okay.

VIOLA: Alien abduction.

It all fits.

The flash of light was
the aliens transporting
Mr. Kinser to their ship,

and the power outage
was caused by the surge
from their engine boosters.

Well, that's a theory.

MYKA: Um, Viola, right?

Are you the manager?
I'm the manager.
Come on in.

Oh, God, Jeff.

None of this,
none of that.

More glitter on that.

Wow. Looks like glitter's
making a comeback.

So Stan says.

Thanks to him, I have
found it everywhere.
(CHUCKLES)

You know, I even found
some in my va-jay-jay.

STAN: Viola!

Kinser laid off
half the staff,
but I'm the reason

these guys are so efficient.

Kinser fired a lot of
good artists, and he wasn't
particularly nice about it.

Jeff McMasters,
director of design.

So, Kinser was
tough to work for, huh?

Ugh, he was
very businessy.

That's probably why
the aliens wanted him.

JEFF: Jason Kinser only
cared about the bottom line.

He had no respect for
the art or the artist.

Was there anyone
who was particularly
upset about the layoffs?

Anyone probably more
upset than the others?

They were all pretty postal.

Okay, well, we're going
to need a list of names.

We have to talk to
the rest of the employees.

Do you think that
some of the people Kinser
fired were body snatched?

Maybe.

Hey, it's Brandon.
Buzz me in.

Look, let me in, will you?

Look, I'm not mad, all right?
I think I deserve
an explanation, though.

I want to talk
face-to-face, all right?

What the hell?

Look, I know
you're up there.

I can see you.

I'm not leaving
until you come down
and talk to me.

Come on!

Come on!

ARTIE: We have
another disappearance.

There was a second random
power outage earlier today.

I cross referenced with
missing-person reports.

A computer programmer
called the cops and said

his roommate went missing
around the same time.
And so far,

there's no connection
between him and our
first victim, Jason Kinser.

Probably because
the connection's
on the alien ship.

What?
Nothing. Don't worry,
we're on it.

There has to be other ways.
Less risky ways.

Travel back in your
memories and watch them?
Oh, yes, hundreds.

You're joking, right?

I'm very dry.

I understand
your concern, Agent Nielsen,
and I appreciate it,

but someone out there
is targeting Regents,

and so far,
we have nothing.

We have
A to Z Technologies.

That information is buried
deeply in Jane's memory,

unless you've unearthed
some answers

A to Z Tech is
a shell company
within a shell company,

within another shell company,
but I've managed to trace it
to the Cayman Islands,

where I have
a contact who could,
if he's still alive...

He could possibly...

Okay, fine.

But you understand
the dangers?

You could get lost
in your own memories,

and you could wind up
trapped there forever.

A chance I'm willing to take.

But you won't
have to take it alone.

The artifact's dangers

can be diminished if there's
another person present.

Someone to ground you,
to pull you back if need be.

Which is why
I'm going with you.

No.

I want to go.

Into my memories?

Well, it's my life, too.

At least, I thought it was.

(SIGHS) You each touch
one of the shoes.

Jane, concentrate on
what you want to see.
Focus on your question.

A to Z Technologies.
MRS. FREDERIC:
Precisely.

The shoe will walk your
subconscious to the specific
memory you're seeking.

Keep in mind that
you'll be observers only.

You won't be able to
interact with anyone.

You won't be able to
change the past.

What's so dangerous, then?

Going back through old
memories, sometimes the urge
to stay is overwhelming.

And that would result

in a permanent split.

That's why you have to be
there to pull her back.

(SIGHS) We don't want
our energies to interfere,
but we'll be close by.

(SHATTERING)

Mom...

It's the house.

We're really at the house.

Hey, it's my BMX bike!

Wrecked it when I was 13.

Doug Beam and I
made that ramp.

Oh, my God, Doug Beam.

I wonder what
he's doing now.

I can't believe it.
It's exactly the same.

This doesn't have
anything to do with
A to Z Technologies.

I shouldn't have
let you come.

This isn't where
I'm supposed to be.

Yeah, well, maybe it's
where I'm supposed to be.

I'm going to go see Dad.

Oh, no, it's not this day.

(GASPS)

Pete, wait!

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

I'm so sorry, Pete.

TOM: I know something's
wrong because we were
supposed to meet

at the David Lynch Festival,

and Brandon never
misses David Lynch.

Do you know where
he was before you were
supposed to meet him?

Yeah. He was picking this
girl up that he's been dating.

It's pretty serious.
It was the third date.

He was going to turn her
onto Eraserhead.

Anyway, I tried calling her.
She didn't pick up, either.

Do you know this girl?

No, but I've heard about her.
A lot about her.

And by a lot, you mean?

She's got golden hair
that smells like grapefruits,

these sexy, spooky
Lolita eyes,

this rocking bod
that makes you
just want to...

A lot. Got it.

You get a name with
that vivid description?

Megan. Megan Reese.

I know that name.

That name, I think is on
the list of former employees.

Megan Reese used to
work for Jason Kinser.

Dots now have been connected.

CLAUDIA: So, I guess the
landlady didn't see anything,

but she definitely heard
Brandon out here,
caterwauling the other day.

Caterwauling?
Yeah. Her word.
Not mine.

I like the way it rolls off
the tongue, though.
(CHUCKLES)

The neighbors reported that
there was a power outage

right about the same
time that Brandon would
have disappeared.

And that's
Megan's apartment, right?

Ugh! What do you want to bet
we find her dead mother in
a rocking chair up there?

Oh, I think I like
the alien idea better.

Claudia.

What is it?

I don't know,
but it looks...

Familiar.

Mrs. Kinser reported

that there was
a flash of light,

her porch lights blew,
and her car battery
died, right?

It could have been
caused by something like

an electromagnetic pulse.

I've seen this before in

photos of the aftermath
of Hiroshima.

There were impressions,
almost shadows, of the victims

that were left
after the bombs fell.

But Jason Kinser was
in his yard, so there was
no place to see a shadow.

Right.

Are we saying that whatever
happened to Brandon might...

Might be something nuclear.

LANDLADY: Oh, Megan Reese.
Late with her rent.

Won't come out,
won't let me in.

I can't even get
the handyman in there
to fix the pipes.

Can't say
I'm sorry you're here.

This looks like a good a time

as any to tell her
to pack up her things
and skedaddle.

Ma'am, now might
not be the best time.

Come on, Rapunzel, open up!

You're in a truckload
of trouble.

MEGAN: Go away,
leave me alone.

See? See that?

You're this close to
eviction, missy.

MEGAN: Get away from here.
Get away from the door.

Hey, it's my door.
Ma'am, leave.

Now.

Megan, Secret Service.
Open up.

MEGAN: Go away, please.
Just go away.

I can't do that, Megan.
Open the door.

MEGAN: No!

Go away
before it's too late.

If you don't,
I'll have to kill you, too,
just like the others.

I warned you, and now,
you're going to die.

Watch out!
(GASPS)

(GASPS)

MYKA: Okay, Megan.

All right, it's okay.

We're gonna
put these away.
All right?

Myka, what are you doing?
We're still here.

No one died.

Yet.

Megan, just give us
the artifact.

What are you talking about?

The object you're using to
kill people, whatever it is.

There's no object. It's me.

Every time I get upset,

people explode.
I'm cursed, I'm a monster.

You're not a monster.

Just go away, please.
Don't you understand?
I am going to kill you.

Please!
Myka!

Okay, okay, look.

Just calm down, all right?

We're stepping away.
It's okay.

(GASPS)

Myka, what the frak?

She doesn't want to hurt us,
Claudia. She doesn't even
know what the artifact is.

Artifact is unconscious?

She's not in
control of it.

Well, yeah, but you heard her.
People get whammied
whenever she gets upset.

And if you hadn't noticed,
our being here is making
her very upset.

Right, so we'll just figure
out whatever the artifact is.

Without getting flash fried?
Oh, fun.

Claudia, look,
the girl is in trouble.

Fine, but if her hair
starts blowing around
like Firestarter,

we're out of here.

You still need to eat.

Oh, God. My Jeannie.

Can I get you something?

(INAUDIBLE)

She can't see us, can she?

I won't go
through this again.

PETE: Mom.

Mom,

look at you.

PETE: It'll get
better, Pete. It will.

Lattimer.

Even Ralph Brunsky
was nice to me that day.

Mrs. Frederic.

Hey, what are you doing here?

I thought this was
only a two passenger...

Mrs. Frederic was here?

She knew me my whole life?

MRS. FREDERIC:
Jane, I'm so sorry.

We all are.

What? Tell me.

It wasn't a fire?
An artifact killed him?

No, there was no artifact.

He was a firefighter.
A very brave one.

Then why are you here?

To extend our condolences.

And to ask you
to come back.

The Warehouse needs you.

There's a situation
right here in town that...

No.

No.

Thank you for coming, Irene.

God, I wish I could
laugh like that again.

Listen,

whatever this is,
the freakness,

it can mess you up,
but believe me,

there is a way back,
and we're going to find it.

What makes you so sure?

Because I've been there.

I doubt it.

You'd be surprised.

There's nothing.

Megan, when did this start?

(EXHALES) A couple
months ago, back in Indiana.

I got mugged.

This guy grabbed me.

I got away.
(GRUNTS)

And then, all the lights
just blew out.

He was gone.

Then it happened
to my boyfriend.

We got in this big fight.

He shoved me.

And I got mad, and then...

I came here so I could
get away from it.

But you couldn't.

I did. I did.
It was okay.

(SOBBING) I got a new job
at the T-shirt shop,

and I met Brandon.

But then, this woman

rear-ended me.

And she was yelling...

And then...

My boss fired me
for being late.

And then, Brandon
got mad at me.

Come on!
What am I...

What am I going to do?

Megan, Megan,
keep it together.
Don't meltdown.

The yearbook.

It's the yearbook.

Megan.
Bag it!

Don't suppose you've seen
any aliens, have you?
(MYKA EXHALES)

There is no such thing
as just a Regent.

Your instincts have provided
an invaluable perspective.

Stop. I left all that behind
when I had children of my own.

It's going to change now?

(STUTTERS)
So, did Dad know?

Of course.
He was my one.

Of all the days
to come here.

I wouldn't have, but we're
facing a difficult decision.

The kind you've always
been helpful with.

Warehouses have gotten
along just fine without me
for a millennia.

No, it's with
people like you.

Jane,

we need your
particular expertise.

There's a child.

At least, consider it.

I'll be in touch.

PETE: Wow.

So, not just a Regent,
but a Super Regent.

Man, if I'd have known,
I'd have gotten you
a mug that said,

"World's Greatest
Secret Overlord."

(GLASS SHATTERING)

YOUNG PETE: Mom!

You'd just break it
like all the others.

Maybe...
Maybe the artifact
isn't here.

It's me. People are
dying around me.

I'm the problem.

Wait a minute.
No, no, no, no.

You were nowhere near
your boss when he died.

Right, when your boss
disappeared, you were here.

Could she have contacted
an artifact elsewhere,
and still be affected by it?

The T-shirt shop.
That's the only thing
that makes sense.

We need to go there,
and you have to come with us.

Oh. No, I'm not leaving here.

Oh, no, you could
be a big help.

You know, maybe
something about being
there could spark some...

Oh, wow.
Bad choice of words.

Anyway...

Stop right there.
Where do you
think you're going?

Not good.
MYKA: Ma'am,
go back inside.

Keep her away from me.

Go back inside.
Me away from you?

You're two weeks
late on your...
Ma'am, go back inside

for your own protection.

Don't talk to me that way.
Keep her away from me.

I know my rights.
Don't make me angry!

I'm throwing you out!

Ah!

I killed her!
No, Megan.

I killed her!
No, no, no, no, Megan!

Claudia, wait!
In this state,
she could kill us both.

What?

The angle of the shadow.

I mean, the flash must've
come from that direction

to cast a shadow
on the sign this way,

but Megan was
standing over there.

So, artifact thataway.

You try and find Megan,

talk her down.
I'm going to
check this out.

Yeah, you got it.

PETE: Oh, my God.
I remember this.

Oh, you couldn't
possibly know.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Wait for it.

Yo, Mom, watch this.

(SNIFFING)

(LAUGHS)

(LAUGHING)

Now, that was
my best move,

and I got nothing
out of you, nothing.

You did it a lot.
Changing grape juice to
milk doesn't make it new.

I was trying to
cheer you up.

(PHONE RINGING)

Hello?
MRS. FREDERIC: Jane,

have you had time to
consider our invitation?

The matter I mentioned
needs to be resolved
rather quickly.

Who's that?
No one, sweetheart.

Eat your lunch.

Tell me more.

You were taking
secret Regent calls
in front of me?

YOUNG JANE:
All right,
I'm on my way.

You're going to
have to finish lunch
without me, Petey.

I'll be back in time
to make dinner.

Why? Where you going?

It's a gorgeous day.
Call Ralph Brunsky.

WALTER'S MOM: Walter,
lunch in 10 minutes.

WALTER: Okay.

Some swing.
Thanks.

Must be the star
of your team.

I guess so. Coach says
I could even go pro someday.

But Coach says
stuff like that a lot.

Sound like a practical man.

What else you interested in?

Got any hobbies?

Do I know you?

Do you live around here?

Just taking a walk.
Here you go.

(EXHALES)

Well, that looked important.

Pete, you know better than
anyone the delicate nature of
dealing with artifacts.

(SCOFFS)
There's always a downside.

That boy had an ability
he shouldn't have.

Taking it away was
a heart-wrenching decision.

What's the big deal?

The kid wouldn't go pro.
Was it really worth
lying to us?

You know the truth now.
What does it matter now?

I was 12 years old,
and all I knew then

was that you were keeping
secrets, and I felt left out.

We all have things
we have to do.

And I had to do this.

You know
I couldn't tell you.

No, I don't know.

After Dad died, I...

Why couldn't I have
been your one?

So, I asked myself

where would I run to
in the middle of the city

if I wanted to get
as far away as possible
from anyone I could hurt.

I keep telling you
we're a lot alike.

You vaporize people with
your mind a lot, do you?

I definitely have
the "Make people
disappear" curse.

I recently lost
a really good friend.

Uh...

He didn't, like,
die or anything,
but he's just gone.

Not exactly the same.

I have a boyfriend in the
Witness Protection Program.

Impressive, but still...

My brother disappeared into
an inter-dimensional bubble.

What?
Took me 12 years
to get him back.

Fine, you're cursed, too.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

Maybe we should
start a support group.

Called the "Arm's
Length Club."

I don't think so.

The "Ten Foot Pole Society."

Nice. Better.

Sorry, I'm...

It's been a while since
I could just talk to someone.

Claud, did you find Megan?

Safe and sound.
We're bonding over our
ability to repel people.

Well, I don't think
Megan's causing this.

Somehow, this thing
can shoot radiation
from a distance.

Listen, I'm on the roof,
and I found glitter up here.

So, it's probably somebody
from the T-shirt shop.

But it happened here in
Portland, and back in Indiana.

Well, then they had to
follow you.

The yearbook.

MYKA: Ha!

Hey, Claud, look.

Jeff McMasters.

Okay, we interviewed him
at the shop.

Megan, he went to
school with you.

I hardly knew that kid.

MYKA: Look, Megan he's in
a lot of your pictures.

And he's staring at you.

Looks like
you have a stalker.

Megan, if this guy is
willing to kill for you, then,
your life is in danger, too.

The way that
the stalker
mentality works,

you probably had some
kind of exchange with him
in high school.

Something that meant
nothing to you,

but that meant
the world to him.

Ever since, he's been
fixated on you.

And now he has an artifact,
and he's using it to kill

whoever he thinks is
a threat to you.

He probably thinks
he's doing it to protect you.

Protect me?
He's killing people
and wrecking my life.

And we're going to
make him stop.

But first, we need
to find whatever it is
that he's using,

and to do that,
well, we're going to
need your help.

PETE: It's Artie
and MacPherson

before he went
all Dark Lord, I guess.

We've changed
that boy's life forever.

No, we returned it
to its natural course.

I only hope
we did it in time.

The downside of that artifact
would have been far worse
than its upside.

Okay, so if being
a Regent is that hard,

how did Mrs. Frederic
convince you to go back?

She didn't.

(GRUNTING)
JANE: Your father did.

You ever see a dead body?

Now why do you want to
go and ask that?

You did. Is it cool?

It really isn't.

Any of the guys you ever
worked with died?

Well, um, yeah.
It happens.

I don't think I want you
to be a firefighter anymore.

Pete, you're a big man,

and I never
want to lie to you.

It's a dangerous job,
and sometimes,
bad things happen.

Sometimes things happen
that I'm not going to want
to talk about.

Because they're gross.

And it isn't the fun kind of
gross like you think.

But what I'm doing out there,
I'm doing it for you.

I'm doing it for
your sister, your mom.

Because if me and guys like me
don't do this job,

the whole town
could burn down.

Guys like me
make a choice, Pete.

To be the ones
to keep the world safe.

Even if that means
it takes us away from
the ones we love.

But it's because of that love
that we do it.

I want to be
that kind of guy, too.

(CHUCKLES) You are
that kind of guy.

All right, one more.

We should go now.

(GRUNTING)

No, no. I want to
stay a while.

Peter, it's time to go.

(SHATTERING)

Mom...
Pete, it's all right.

No, look, Mom,
when I found out about this,

I guess I thought
being a Regent was more
important to you than I was.

I was a Regent because
nothing is more important
to me than you are.

You and your sister.

And I had nothing to do with
you becoming an agent, either.

You did that.

I was against it.

Wait. What, why?

Nothing, never mind.

Mom, I want to know.

You were always taking
unnecessary risks.

Oh, my God. This is
like when I asked if
I could out for football...

And I wasn't going to
facilitate your impulsive...

(BOTH ARGUING)

Hi, Jeff.

It's Megan.
I know.

Believe me, I know.

I was starting to wonder if
you remembered my name.

What? Yes, I do.

Well, it's just

you haven't said anything

since that time you got
Murphy and his morons
to leave me alone.

On that field trip.

Field trip. Right.

So, that's why
you've been protecting me.

I thought after you had
a reason to stay away.

So I followed your lead.

I hope I did the right thing.

Sure. You did just right.

It's so cool to finally
be talking like this.

To talk to you at all.

How are you doing it, Jeff?

I mean, how are
you making people
just go away?

Come here.

When I found these,
I knew it was a sign.

Why are you
talking to me now?

What are you looking at?

Jeff, listen to me.

Just put down the bag.
We're not going to hurt you.

JEFF: You lied to me!

No, I didn't.
No, I didn't lie.

You don't remember anything.
I remember.

After all I've done for you,
you bring them here?

(SHRIEKING)

No, Megan!

Megan!
Come on.

After all this time.
All those secret
glances you gave me.

What, you decided
you're done with me now?
Stop it!

The artifact's in his bag.
So keep your eyes out for it.

Legitimate question.
If he's toting a radiation
shooting artifact

do we risk our Teslas?

Jeff?

Listen, nobody else
needs to get hurt.

We can find
a way out of this.

Myka!
Stay away!

This is between
me and her!

CLAUDIA: Myka, look out!

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

Hey.
(GASPS)

He's coming.

You're going to pay for
having lied to me, Megan!

And your friends are
going to pay, too!

All the doors are locked!
You can't get out!

(GRUNTING)

I told you to stay away.

You want me, Jeff?

I'm right here.

I loved you, Megan.

(SCREAMS)

(MYKA GRUNTING)

You okay?

Yeah.

Hey, you did good.

(EXHALES)

The binoculars belonged
to the pilot of the plane that
dropped the bomb on Hiroshima.

He saw the blast through them,
and they absorbed the horror
of that moment.

So when Jeff found them
and looked through them,
all his emotions, his rage,

just set them off.
So you were never
actually cursed.

I'm guessing you weren't
really cursed, either.

Now, see, that's just
crazy talk, because
I'm so totally cursed.

Right?
(LAUGHING)

Look, thanks.

For everything.

I hope you hear back
from your best friend.

Bye.
Bye, Megan.

I'm going to make a call.

Claud?
Yeah?

Say hi for me.

Mmm-hmm.

(SIGHS)

PETE: Well, it's like
when you wouldn't let
me grate the celery

for the Thanksgiving
stuffing.

And we were nibbling
on fingers as a result.

Bad example.

Uh, did you find anything?

I did, but I may
have messed up what
Mom was looking for.

Don't be so sure.

Artie, where is
Collodi's Bracelet shelved?

Collodi's Bracelet?
Collodi...
(STUTTERS)

James and I bagged that,
what, 30 years ago?

I know.
You were so cute.

Carlo Collodi
wrote the original
story of Pinocchio.

For the most part he was
an angry, bitter satirist.

In the original, when
the little cricket tries to
tell Pinocchio what to do,

he flattens him
with a hammer.

Here.

It was made out of
the strings of a marionette

that belonged to Collodi.

It fell into the hands
of a young boy.

Named Walt Sykes.

MRS. FREDERIC: The bracelet
gave him control of his own
body, enabling him to walk.

But it would have
planted a seed of
darkness in his soul.

JANE: Aztec.
A to Z Technologies.

That's what
I was remembering.

That young boy is now
the man who is attacking us.

Walter Sykes.

The Guardian that now
wears the shackle is
under watch 24l7.

I don't see any way
to get to her.

No need to.

Jane Lattimer and I are
going to be getting
together very soon.

I'm looking forward to it.

And meeting her son.

There's one more road
I need you to go down, Marcus.

Steve Jinks.

Stukowski was right.
He's vulnerable.

Yeah.

Find a way to get to him.

Yes, sir.

Could you get that book
over there for me, Marcus?

Oh, that's Lok Archer.

Used to be a Regent.

He isn't, anymore.

His last act was
quite helpful to us.

Recently, I've come across
some useful information.

Not destroying the
shackle was disappointing.

But fortunately,

there's another way.
