S1 E15Unfinished Business

I'm not gonna sugarcoat this. We're talking about attacking the Sentinel Services.

SSage

We lost six people the last time we went up against them directly.

I know that better than anyone.

It won't be like last time.

SSage

You're right. Last time we just hit a relocation center with a fence and some guard towers. This time it's a prison. Their systems have improved extrapolating from other attacks. We've got an 86.5% chance of failure.

And if we do nothing, there's a 100% chance we never see them again.

I know we're new here, but please...

Lorna's risked her life for everyone here in this room. Harry, your parents would be dead without her. Sage, she pulled you out of a gutter and she got you clean. I mean, she's... she needs us.

SSage

Doesn't change the math, Marcos.

I don't care about the math, I care about Lorna.

CCarmen

We were good together, you and me. Why didn't we work out?

We cared about different things.

CCarmen

I cared about taking care of my family, a family you were a part of before you ran off to go play hero.

And I was fine with the family, it was the business...

CCarmen

Is it so different from what you're doing now? Moving drugs from Mexico, moving mutants to Mexico, these days which one is more illegal?

I know I'm probably not someone you want to talk to.

You're right about that.

I always told myself that anyone who was facing me in my courtroom was guilty. Told myself that I was the prosecutor, and that the law was clear, and if you'd broken it it was on you. Told myself that I was doing my job. And then I found out that my kids are mutants. They didn't mean to hurt anyone, they didn't mean to do anything. They were just defending themselves. But they broke the law, and with mandatory minimums they'll get at least ten years, maybe more. And a few days ago I would be the one making that argument. Before all of this I didn't understand, but I do now, and I'm sorry.

Congratulations. On figuring out you're one of the bad guys. So what? If you would've thought about it awhile longer you wouldn't of destroyed so many lives? Huh? You want forgiveness? Ask the little boy who I strapped into a bus while he screamed, begging to join his mommy in prison, where you sent her. You know what? Ask the hundreds of families whose lives you and your friends ruined. Don't ask me.

[Andy and Lauren show John and Caitlin how they can combine their powers to stop the bus]

No. Kids are not attacking a convoy.

We don't have a good alternative here, Caitlin. We're running out of time.

What, so you're gonna use child soldiers now?

We're not kids like that anymore mom.

I said no.

Mom, please. I know you're scared. I'm scared too. But think about what you said last night, about how sometimes we have to take risks.

Really? You're gonna use my own words against me? Look, this isn't going to visit your uncle Daniel. This is about trained men, with guns.

We want to fight for this. You've always said that there are things worth fighting for. Was that all just talk? You said it yourself, there are risks worth taking.

[Andy is trying to use his powers]

Andy, go!

I... I can't do it.

What do you mean you can't do it? You have to.

I... I don't know. It's moving, it's just different.

You can do this, we believe in you.

It's not what we practiced.

Okay, okay, just calm down.

Mom, stop babying him.

Lauren!

[to Andy] Hey! You're the reason we're in this mess, and now you can't even help us get out?

What are you doing?

Back off!

Maybe those bullies were right. Maybe you are nothing. If they're wrong, then prove it!

[Andy pushes Lauren out the way and uses his powers with Lauren's to stop the bus]

Sorry, you're better when you're angry.

I heard from the prosecutor... I heard...

About the baby.

I know you've been through a lot. I just want to know, is it alright?

Yeah, I think. I can feel it, almost the way I can feel my auroral electricities in there, inside me. My baby. Our baby. I haven't even said those words aloud until just now.

Are you happy?

Look, when I was gone, I thought a lot about the world I was bringing a baby like ours into.

[takes Lorna's hand] You know what I thought about when you were gone? How I couldn't wait to meet this kid. How I couldn't wait to be a father.

[as she holds Marcos' hand the auroras manifest] Marcos.

We're gonna have a weird kid.

If it's a girl we should call her Aurora.

If the cops really are coming here, we could try and leave, but...

SSage

Uh, based on average police response times, any identifiable mutants leaving here will be apprehended before we're out of city limits.

They're looking for fugitives. The only that's gonna stop them is if they find one.

What are you saying?

I have to go out there, get seen, stir them away from this place, make it look like we went in another direction.

Even if they see you, doesn't mean they'll stop searching.

I know how these things work. They made an educated guess about the direction we went.

No, Reed! You can't do this! We just got you back.

The police are coming. We can't evacuate, and even if we did there is nowhere to go.

It has to be you? I mean we're in a building filled with people with powers.

They didn't just escape from jail. They're looking for me. These people, they need to know which side I'm on. And if this is my chance to make things right, I have to take it.

What will I tell the kids?

Tell them I'll be back by dinner.

You better.

I need to talk to you! Did you mess with my head?

SSSonya Simonson

What do you mean?

I was watching you with the Sentinel Service guy, and then I remembered something. Last week, the two of us started to have a conversation, and now that conversation's just gone. And now I can't go ten minutes without this memory of John coming back to me. I'm asking you straight up: did you mess with my head?

You couldn't use your abilities, Johnny was in trouble, and if you were going to help you needed a connection to him.

You had no right. Were you ever gonna tell me.

Look, I know that you're angry, but you have to understand, people's lives were at stake.

I don't have to understand anything! What you do is wrong! You decided that you needed to fix me, and now I get to live with the memory of loving someone I barely know, someone who doesn't love me.

I can take it away if you want, I can remove the memory.

Just stay away from me!

Clarice, there's a federal building in Baton Rouge that we need to get into. I know it's a lot to ask, but we think there might be information in there about Sentinel Services and what they did to Pulse.

So, is that all? That's all we need to talk about? You need the 4-1-1 on your old Marine buddy, so I just blink you into a building? I'm just a portable door-maker?

What?

Fine, if you're not gonna bring it up, I will. Your friend, Dreamer, stuck a memory in my head, without mentioning it to me, or I don't know, asking my permission. A memory I'm sure you're familiar with, because it's a memory of you.

Alright, I'm sorry. I asked her not to do that.

But when she did, you decided not to say anything about it.

It was an emergency. She did it to save the team and afterwards... we still needed your help.

Oh, I get it. You didn't want to tell me because you wanted to use me. FYI, you're not making this any better. I've got my own issues to sort out, my own people to find.

WAgent Weeks

Wow, hey, Agent Turner, what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here.

You know what it's like to lose your only daughter? Twice? You have no idea what I've been through. [to an off-screen agent] What are you looking at Suarez?

WWeeks

Jace, when was the last time you slept? You're in no condition to be at work.

Where else would I be?

WWeeks

You're on a mandatory leave of absence. Everybody's heart broke for you and for Paula, but you're not supposed to be here.

[takes Weeks's badge and opens his office door] You're gonna call security? Tell them I'll be in my office.

So you never told me, how did your conversation go with Clarice?

She left, so I'd say not well. It's about par for the course these days.

If you're talking about Pulse, that wasn't your fault.

How do you figure that? I left him, I let Sentinel Services take him.

You thought he was dead.

I was wrong! I should've saved him. I'm starting to think that maybe the X-Men made a mistake, choosing me to be part of The Underground.

Johnny! You can't think that way. I know you want to live up to who your father was, but you're doing all you can.

It's not enough. We have more refugees in there than we could possibly save. I can barely protect a bunch of veterans.

You were chosen for a reason. The X-Men said: "A war is coming".

They didn't say we'd win.

Did you always want to be a dad?

Yeah, yeah I guess I did. You're gonna be a father. How about you?

I don't know. I didn't know my dad much really. Even before he kicked me out for being a mutant. I was the oldest, supposed to run the family business, make him look good. Safe to say I disappointed him.

Listen, if we all turned out just like our fathers, I wouldn't be much of a dad myself.

Yeah. How'd you figure it out? Parenting?

I haven't. But I can tell you this: nothing that they can do would make you love them less. You start there, and then you do the best you can.

[Andy is fidgeting with Monopoly pieces]

Hey, let me make something clear. I have always been proud of you. Always, you hear me?

Yeah.

Whatever it is that you're thinking, you can tell me. I want to hear, no matter what.

I'm thinking... you should be the shoe. [Hands Reed the shoe piece from the game]

Of course, I'm always the shoe.

Yeah.

[They start playing a game of Monopoly]
