Scenes with Cara 44

Cara

You tried to reunite two lost, lonely siblings. And you risked getting caught to stay with Piper. It reminded of what I've known all along. You're the best person I've ever met.

I don't know if I belong here, Cara.

Cara

Why would you say that?

It's like John always says, we're at war. And in war there's no room for-for whatever, sentimentality.

Cara

You mean humanity?

John keeps people alive.

Cara

You kept Irene alive. Before we brought you in, we'd lost sight of what it is to be alive. At least I know I had. You've given us a gift.

Cara

Do me a favor. The next time you want to go after a psychotic breakout on your own without your powers, don't.

Sure thing. But I wasn't on my own.

Cara

You're lucky I even knew you were in trouble. That cuff should have blocked me from hearing your voice.

That's what I've been saying all along. We're connected. Look, you can fight it, deny it all you want, Cara. But you and I, we're inevitable.

Cara

You know how we said we would tell each other everything? That we could get past anything as long as we were honest with each other?

Yeah.

Cara

While you were gone, I made a mistake.

Cara, there's nothing you could of done.

Cara

I slept with Stephen. I'm so sorry. If I could take it back, I would. And it doesn't change how I feel about you. The thought of losing you terrifies me. Say something.

Are we even now? I lied to you, you lied to me, is that how it is?

Cara

No. No, that's not--

It took me years to tell you the truth about the Annex Project. It took you two days to come clean about this. So, in that respect, you win.

Cara

We're looking for a rapist? No, that doesn't make any sense. Are you sure he's one of us?

IIrene

The way he vanishes into thin air, he's gotta be.

Cara

So much for homo-superior.

Our powers don't make us good. They just make us powerful. How we use them is up to us. This guy is twisted. With or without 'em.

So it turns out our resident klepto is actually a mad musical genius.

Cara

Like a violin prodigy or something?

Oh, 'cause I'm Asian I must play the violin.

You're wasting your time, Cara.

Cara

I've got nowhere to be.

Well, all humility aside, I am a very important person and very powerful people are searching for me, so...

Cara

Shut up.

Such hostility.

Cara

You're lying.

And how would you know? My nephew stripped you of your powers. How different it must feel living down here, like some scared, paranormal rat when you really belong on the surface with the rest of our species.

Cara

I see more rats up there than I ever do here.

Listen to me, Stephen. Jedikiah ordered me to kill your father. There was no plan. Roger didn't know! I saw it on his face, I read it in his mind. I held his body in my hands. So trust me when I tell you your father is dead.

Cara

Stephen, what you saw was a vision. You were hoping, like we were all hoping, that Roger was still out there. But it's not real.

You're both wrong. He's alive. And I need your help. This isn't about me. This is about all of us. The Refuge is real, but we can't get there without my dad. Now, the whole reason you guys tracked me down was so that I could find him. So either you believe that I'm the Chosen One or you don't. Which is it, Cara?

Cara

First day on the job, I shoot you, I lead us straight into an ambush.

You broke into the Citadel. You saved Charlotte's life.

Cara

I got Errol killed.

No, Errol sacrificed himself so that you could save her. That girl has a future now, thanks to both of you.

Cara

Appreciate the spin.

It's not spin. Look, I took an actual bullet because I believe in you. I believe in both of us. Either I'm going to find the Refuge, or you're going to build one. Right here.

Cara

Or both.

Yeah, okay, or both. Look, I know we're feeling like long shots today, but together? I don't hate our odds.

Cara

Look, I understand Stephen is desperate to believe his father is still alive, but you, of all people, should not be giving him false hope.

Stephen is going to do what he wants to do. Regardless of what we think.

Cara

If Roger was still out there, I would have seen it when I read Stephen's mind.

Roger was the only one who could have turned the tide in this war. If there is any possibility that he is out there--

Cara

And you killed him. And then you lied about it to all of us. And now, worst of all? You're taking advantage of Stephen's vulnerability to make yourself feel better.

I believe that Stephen saw his father.

Cara

Even if Stephen has forgiven you, it doesn't mean that your sins have been erased.

Cara

(referring to Stephen and John) If I am such a great leader, why can't I get them figured out?

Perhaps you enjoy the thrill of being pursued simultaneously by two equally desirable mates.

Cara

It was rhetorical, T.I.M.

Right. Sorry. I'll be quiet.

Cara

I heard from Stephen. Julian got away. Doubt he'll forgive and forget.

You stood up to him and won. That's what he won't forget.

Cara

He'll come back for me. We'll always have to live with a guard up.

How's that different from how we live now? That's leadership during wartime. There is no end.

Cara

This fun just goes on and on.

(referring to Charlotte) Her attacks are starting to attack everyone around her. It's only getting worse. With all they've been through recently, people are starting to talk.

About what?

About kicking her out of the lair. I didn't say I was for it.

Because that's what they do here now? Kick the weak from the herd.

Look maybe the group is just starting to feel a little unsettled. You know, being under new leadership and all. Hey, look, we all feel sorry for the kid.

Cara

So what, we just put her back on the street? Let Ultra snatch her up again? Is that what you guys want? Chloe's first month, she screamed in her sleep. And before we trained him, Dunbar's telekinesis was like a firehouse. If we kicked out everyone who showed up with bruises, this place would be empty. Charlotte stays.

Cara

So, what happened with your mom's boyfriend?

There were times that I was sure he was using his powers. Objects that had to have been TK'd. But when I forced his hand--

Cara

Wait, what do you mean, forced his hand?

Uhm... I might have accidentally shoved him off a cliff.

Cara

What?!

Yeah. If he has powers, he's willing to die to keep them a secret.
