Show: Painkiller Jane - 1x11
My name is jane vasco.
I could use you on my team.
I work for a secret government agency that hunts neuros.
People who can do dangerous things with their minds.
On my first assignment...
Something a little weird happened, okay, something really weird.
Until i get some answers i'm getting on with my life, doing my job.
Stocking up on aspirin, because let me tell ya, pain's a bitch !
When you spend a lot of time with the people you work with, you get to know them well, even if you have never been to their homes, you can imagine how they live.
When i visited andre, his place was clean, organized.
And i guess you can say, manly.
Except for the box of captain crunch in his kitchen.
He claims it's for when his niece visits.
Sure.
Been to mo's place lots of times, the surroundings fit the woman.
Haven't seen riley's pad but i can imagine stacks of comic books, tech gear and sci fi memorabilia.
As for connor, let's just say, i plan to wash my hands for a long time with really hot water and industrial soap after i leave.
Vasco.
Nice hardware.
Damn right.
Oh, you mean the bike.
What're you doing here ?
Got a lead on the kids.
Riley's been trying to get you on the comm all morning.
And you volunteered to come by personally.
We drew straws.
I lost.
Briefing's at 1400 hours.
That's two hours from now.
A lot can happen in two hours.
You're being modest.
I'm sure you could get the job done in two minutes.
Two minutes.
Just enough time for me to torque down these heads.
Maybe you shouldn't be playing with sharp instruments.
Just a burn.
Coffee maker blew a gasket on me.
It's more organized than i thought it would be.
You expected a scattered mess.
Something like that.
Not me.
Works chaotic enough.
Gotta come home to Ssomething different.
Yeah, i know.
Thanks.
Maybe you should play with toy boats instead.
Hell, that was close.
Must've made contact with the terminals.
Must have.
In the future it may be a good idea to disengage the gears before you get under the bike.
I always do.
Almost always.
Mcbride.
Car's out front.
Transcript : swsub.com Presync : Akazab & Sixe Chinese tradition puts a lot of stock in names.
They believe you can make your destiny by what you call yourself. "
Joyful fortune."
whoever chose that name was hoping for not just success, but pleasure in it.
I wonder if they got either.
Let's focus.
These may be kids, but they're killers.
And until we know which one's the neuro, they are all deadly.
Riley, talk to me.
) Triangulation puts our boys in the loading bay.
Can you hear me ?
Guys, can you hear me?
Andre, what's going on ?
Chip him !
Chip him !
Which one ?
The window isn't broken !
It's the one furthest from the window !
Come on !!!!
Okay, guys, i'm back.
Is everythings okay ?
Yeah, we're alright.
Let seth know we're coming in.
We're going to need some looking over.
I'm on, boss.
What the hell was that ?
Ultra-sonics would be my guess.
Only that one kid was the neuro.
Yeah, it was more than enough.
You okay ?
Yeah.
My boot's worse than my ears.
Thanks for patching me up, doc.
I appreciate it.
That's what i'm here for.
Come to the hospital for better xrays, i'll set you up with some painkillers.
I think, I'll be fine.
Of course you will.
That should hold you until the bone heals.
Try to stay off it.
Not your day, is it ?
The burn, the bike, now your foot...
I'm bucking the odds.
Maybe i'll buy a lottery ticket.
You think there could be another explanation ?
Yeah.
Bad day, crap happens.
That's life.
Since you're so concerned, maybe you'd be interested in turning my luck around.
I think maybe you should be more concerned than i am.
You're still here.
Something on your mind.
You believe in coincidence ?
I believe in getting straight to the point.
Connor.
There's a lot i don't know about him.
That's true.
And that's not a coincidence.
You know more about his past than anyone on the team.
I know what i need to know.
And you know what you need to know.
Did you know that he had three "accidents" today.
A coffee machine blew up in his face...
His bike almost took his leg off...
And the door.
If something or someone from his past has resurfaced...
If all of what's happened isn't a coincidence...
Then the whole team could be in jeopardy.
Look, i don't know what's going on here.
I just don't feel comfortable waiting for the next thing just happenned.
So i'm supposed to act based on your feelings ?
No.
On yours.
You're not taking this seriously ?
I have to,Connor, it's my job.
Tell vasco to stick to what she does best...
Remaing invulnerable to injuries and everyone around her.
Sounds like you take it personally.
After today we should be drinking, not thinking.
So tell me...
What is it you're trying to avoid thinking about ?
A guy can't just have a drink with a friend ?
It's your timing that concerns me.
See, i don't think it's a coincidence.
Here we go.
We made a deal when i brought you aboard.
You'd tell me everything i need to know.
I made good on that.
As far as you know, you have.
I had riley check the specs on that door it's right up to code, redundant safeties.
No way that thing could have been blown unless someone tampered with it.
Now you're sounding like vasco.
Too bad there's not enough of this to make you look like her.
Just talk to me.
If there's something, anything in your past; any unfinished business, whatever it is, i need to know.
Even if there was...
What are we talking about here ?
I meant, there was nobody in the garage when the trannie slipped into gear.
And besides us and the freak boys' quad, there was no one else at that warehouse.
I've got a closet fulla skeletons, we both know that.
But they're dead skeletons, boss.
They aren't comin' back to life to haunt my coffee maker.
Drink this, you're making me nervous.
I don't know what we're supposed to be looking for here.
For all i know, jane is making a big deal from nothing.
Hello ?
Somebody here ?
Anybody ?
Is anybody here ?
You waiting for these ?
Oh yeah, right.
There's no gear here for the part of my body that i like to exercise.
You might want to reconsider that.
Why?
I look out of shape to you ?
What's on your mind, riley ?
Oh, maybe staying awake all night, working up a full history profile on connor.
Yeah, that sounds like a great time.
It wasn't.
Andre said it was your idea.
Something about you having a hunch that something from connor's past might be reaching out to...
Touch him.
Oh, yeah.
I guess it was.
A hunch ?
An educated guess.
No, a hunch !
With no data to confirm the facts it's a hunch!
They've paid off in the past.
You telling me you've never had a hunch ?
No, i haven't !
And i've never seen a ghost, been abducted by aliens, found the truth of my life in astrology, You know what, I been granted three wishes by a genie...
By the sounds of your "enthusiasm", my hunch paid off.
Yes, maybe but that's not the point.
I think it is.
Learn to live with it, ri.
By the way, what is your sign ?
Easy.
Yeah, you love it.
My sign...
Barrier precinct tactical response squad.
This photo was taken twelve years ago.
What the hell's this all about ?
You authorized this ?
Connor, five of these men are now dead.
Davis monfredo was driving a combine on his father's farm and got caught in the gears.
Sucked him in up to his waist before they got it shut off.
Kevin douglas, pinned between a forklift and a loading dock, crushing his pelvis.
Gottschalk and rubin, both died in car accidents.
Taken separately, maybe accidental.
But put them all together...
And we're looking for is a man who knows how to beat the safeties on an industrial fire door.
And on a vintage motocylce.
Last one was joey berlin, got mangled by a generator.
Last night at bassetts department store.
Eleven miles from here.
Connor...
Can you make a call on this ?
Relax, they're coming.
You know, when you get out of prison, you think "i did it, did my time."
pull enough crap in your life, you never stop doing time.
You have any idea what this is about ?
I haven't seen any of those guys in ten years.
Did any of these guys do time with you ?
Hell, no.
They were the pride of the precinct, the dream team, immaculate, untouchable.
Untouchable ?
Well, someone's trying to get back in touch with you.
Who'd have a reason ?
We put away a lot of creeps.
You want a list ?
Some of those...
Thank you.
Some of those guys you put away were wearing blue.
I told you, not on this team !
Hey !!
Hey, go easy.
None of this is easy.
Are you sure you're not painting these guys a brighter shade of white just because you want to ?
I know who i am and what i've done.
I don't need to color reality.
I noticed.
Here's the deal, connor.
Right now, you're at risk, and you're putting the whole team at risk.
What do you want I should do ?
Crawl into a hole ?
Close enough.
Until this is over, you lie low, you go underground.
And if it takes weeks ?
If it takes weeks, i'll buy you another bottle of reality.
Go easy.
Wine waits for no man.
Have you almost done ?
I just have to double check these last couple of quotes and ship it off to my editor.
I'll get that for you.
I didn't know you liked crosswords.
Of should i say, "loved crosswords."
i had some time to kill in the laundry room yesterday.
You should do laundry more often.
There's about three weeks worth of dirty clothes here.
It was a couple of hours.
You did that whole stack of crosswords in a couple of hours?
In pen ?
Wow, i better watch my back around you.
I'll watch yours.
Something i said ?
No.
Maybe something i did.
Those puzzles.
No crime in being smart.
I guess i'm a lot smarter than i thought i was.
Obviously.
You chose me.
As i recall, you picked me.
Really ?
Yeah.
Two smart people, huh ?
Think that'll work out ?
As long as the tie-breakers go to me.
You know, for a girl who likes to come across as a tough guy, you might want to hide your bronte collection.
It reveals the romantic in you.
You've been snooping my bookshelves ?
I'm a reporter.
Occupational hazard.
You going to write my story ?
Or just get to know it.
And i hope it's a very long one...
With lots of installments.
Timing is everything.
This better be extremely important.
Hello...
Jane, it's andre.
I need you to get over to connor's.
I thought he was... "
Out of town".
Yeah, he's laying low, but he rembered some letters written from a couple of guys on his squad.
They're a few years old, but they might give us some more personal insight than what riley can bring up on his computer.
They're in a box in his garage.
Right now ?
Yes, right now, is there a problem ?
No, it's fine.
Good, while you're there, i want you to dig around for anything else that might be, relevant.
Liste, none of us are perfect, jane.
That's definitely includes connor, he might be withholding information that could jeopardize us all, especially himself.
I'll take care of it.
Good, call me when you're done.
Right.
I've got to go.
Will you promise to hold that last thought ?
It was more than a thought, but don't worry, it's not going to change for quite some time.
Nice to meet you too !!!
This would be a lot easier if you tell me where king is.
Who the hell are you ?
You are going to find out right now !!
I just wanna talk to him !
He was tall, about 6 foot, short hair, silver, with a little bit of black on the sides.
Ring any bells ?
About a million guys playing the slots in vegas.
This wasn't his first fight.
The guy knew what he was doing with a knife.
You got those photos ?
I ran an aging program on the old photo.
These are the surviving members of connor's team.
That's him !!
William hoyt pierce.
Senior officer.
We lost touch when i went upstate.
Look like he's feeling nostalgic.
Riley, current address ?
The guy's law enforcement, he's always on the move, no fixed address.
He's off the radar completely.
You're saying you can't find him.
I never say never.
Maybe we need to let him find us.
Connor, we got you in sight.
Nothing arriving except one vehicle.
There.
King !
Pierce was here and never changed position.
The truck made no course corrections.
Pierce was the intended target the whole time.
He wasn't after you.
He was trying to warn you.
Or kill me because he thought i was behind it.
The truck shows no sign of mechanical tampering.
And no one behind the wheel.
So we're looking for a guy who can control a five ton truck without touching it.
We need to alert the surviving team members.
One guy had his legs caught in a combine.
Second was crushed from the pelvis down.
And the third who was dragged into the generator...
Was that feet first ?
Yes...
Connor's near-misses.
Either one could have cut his legs off.
Connor, can you think of anybody who'd have any reason to take these guys out from the bottom up?
Beeman.
Harry beeman.
Fire doors !
System breach !
Lockdown engaged !
Intruders ?
I can't tell.
Systems are going crazy !
Assume the worst.
Ahh !!!!
Seth, secure positions !!!
Riley !
release the weapons locker !
It should be open !
Well it's not !
Something's jamming me.
Override's no go.
Don't waste the ammo.
We don't know what's coming, and we've got, what ?
Twenty rounds each ?
Extra mags in the fridge.
Riley, the door !!!!
Everybody back !!!
Everybody back !!!
Seth !
Close.
Thanks.
Riley, what's our status?
Systems are completely down.
Check your sidearms.
Connor, divide up those extra mags.
Chip gun ?
Yes.
There's only long range clips in the fridge.
All the scopes and rifles are in the weapons locker.
Remind me to store more stuff in the fridge.
Fire doors came slamming down.
Manual override's jammed.
Then we're sealed in.
Someone's turning our own security against us.
Harry.
You knew this day was coming.
You earned it.
This is my station.
These are my people.
So explain yourself to me.
I don't answer to you !!
I don't answer to anybody !!
Not since the day mr.
King left me in a building where tons of rubble came down on me.
It was a standard perp extraction, harry.
No one knew he'd wired the place with c-4.
No one could have.
Except maybe the cowards sent me in first.
It could have been any of us.
It should have been all of us!!!!
But you've moved on.
Got a new team.
A brave captain.
But for me, things just stay the same.
In this chair, every day.
That's my life.
Thinking about what should have been.
And what shouldn't.
And then you're life changed, you developed 'special powers.
' yeah.
Funny, huh ?
Can't move my legs but i can move a half-ton truck.
And all sorts of other interesting things, like loading dock doors and motorcycle gears without having to lift a finger.
Guess somebody up there's looking out for me.
Joe !!!
You won't take me out with machines.
Machines serve me.
He's gone.
Joe !!!
He's gone!!!
Andre!
The light!
Joe, can you hear me?
Seth, the train, if he rolls it...
Joe is down there, we can't leave him, go help.
Nobody hung beeman out to dry, and this was by the books, it was just damn stupid luck that he was first in.
And now it's our damn stupid luck he can use this equipment against us.
You want me to apologize to the bastard, I will.
But i didn't put him in that chair, that's not how it went down.
Somehow, i don't think an apology's going to work.
We're talking revenge here.
The guy's been stewing for years.
It might've started that way, but i don't think that's what it is now.
Seth and joe aren't part of his past.
They weren't on his squad.
He knows i could give a crap if he took me out first.
He's enjoying himself.
Showing me what he can do to my team before he takes me down.
The flashlights too.
He's coming at us again!!
Crap.
You're looking okay, joe.
I'm not, but i do what i can.
Good work, seth.
What the hell is he doing ?
Waiting.
He's got the advantage.
Riley, what do we have left ?
There's still power to the security grid.
But i'm being blocked out.
I'd say our neuro's using our own grid to spy on us.
That's how he knows where we are.
We're not going to be able to open the doors until riley can regain control of the system.
There's another way out.
Original engineers put in those fire doors, to protect the line.
They put in an emergency evacuation shaft, too.
Where ?
Part of the ventilation tunnel.
There's ladders, manual hatches, it leads right up to the street.
Lead on.
I'm staying.
I leave here, he's going to keep on coming.
Okay, by letting him kill you, that'll stop him ?
No.
Idiot.
But i have an idea.
I could use your help.
Are you asking me for help ?
You gonna do it or call a press conference ?
Fine, i'm in.
Good.
Everybody out of here.
I'll be back with some firepower.
I want to hurry.
Let's go !!
Right down here.
Alright.
Your call...
Boss.
Down this way.
That's it.
Long way up.
Sure, you can make it, joe ?
I race you.
We'll do it together.
Are you kidding me ?
Is it locked ?
Joe, what the hell is that ?
That's crazy.
This stuff's been disconnected for 15 years.
That doesn't seem to bother beeman.
Please tell me we're not about to be sucked up into that fan.
Doesn't have that kind of draw.
You feel that breeze, though ?
From the fans.
They're spinning in reverse.
They're not blowing air into this shaft...
They're sucking it out.
We make our way up the tracks.
Make it look like we know where we're going...
Like we've got a way out.
If beeman's watching us, maybe he'll come out of hiding to stop us.
And you need me for this plan because...?
I want to keep you close to me, so i keep my eye on you.
I didn't think i could help the others.
Maybe they can help themselves but...
You're the one that matters to me.
Probably the only thing that's mattered to me in a long time.
Beeman probably knows how i feel about you.
And that puts you in his spotlight.
If anything happened to you...
It'd be worse than hell.
How much air do you think we have ?
We'll know when we run out of breath.
There's a manual hatch at the top.
If we can get there in time.
Riley, let's check it out.
Hustle up.
I don't think, we have much time left.
Don't stop riley, keep going.
Come on !
They have to get the hatch open.
Andre !!!!
I'm working on it ! "
No one could have seen that coming," right, connor ?!!
Just bad luck you sent her in first.
Question...
Can you live with yourself now ?!!
Yeah.
I can live with myself.
Hey, kiddo, you alright ?
The only woman i know who gets hit by a train and lives to tell about it.
Ooh !
That looks like it hurt.
Boss, the fan !
The door !
Try the door !
What ?
Open the door !
Clear.
Let's go, come on.
Everybody okay ?
All in one piece.
When the fans stopped, we knew you must have done it, you chipped him !
I stopped him.
you don't worry about that thing starting up and ripping your face off ?
Maybe i figure it's someone else's turn to have a homicidal neuro on their trail this week.
Lightning only strikes once, huh?
Bike's gotta get fixed.
You think on your feet, vasco.
I'll give you that.
When a guy starts declaring his undying affection, it wakes you up.
Knowing how sensitive and romantic you are...
I knew you were up to something.
And being in love with me obviously wasn't it.
Obviously.
Beeman was watching us.
Figured we'd give him a show.
I was betting on the fact that he hated me enough to take it out on you.
Lucky me.
It worked.
It did at that.
You get a lot of that ?
Guys 'declaring' ?
I'm a girl.
Occupational hazard.
Anything i can do to help ?
You could hand me that torque wrench.
This ?
That's the one.
How long you been working on it?
About nine months.
Your baby.
That's the thing.
Women never appreciate the beauty of a well-built machine.
I'm not so sure about that.
You know what they say about judging books by their covers.
Maybe it's the same with people.
Some of us work hard to present a cover to the world around us...
Even to the people we're closest to.
The kind of cover that makes people to walk by without ever picking up the book.
The pages remain unread and there's nothing to be learned between the lines.
Hey, you gonna help or watch Oh, yeah.
Hand me the damn ratchet wrench over there !
This ?
That will do.

Vasco.
Nice hardware.

I guess it was.
A hunch ?
An educated guess.
No, a hunch !
With no data to confirm the facts it's a hunch!
They've paid off in the past.
You telling me you've never had a hunch ?
No, i haven't !
And i've never seen a ghost, been abducted by aliens, found the truth of my life in astrology, You know what, I been granted three wishes by a genie...
By the sounds of your "enthusiasm", my hunch paid off.
Yes, maybe but that's not the point.
I think it is.
Learn to live with it, ri.
By the way, what is your sign ?
Easy.
Yeah, you love it.
My sign...
Barrier precinct tactical response squad.
This photo was taken twelve years ago.
What the hell's this all about ?
You authorized this ?
Connor, five of these men are now dead.
Davis monfredo was driving a combine on his father's farm and got caught in the gears.
Sucked him in up to his waist before they got it shut off.
Kevin douglas, pinned between a forklift and a loading dock, crushing his pelvis.
Gottschalk and rubin, both died in car accidents.
Taken separately, maybe accidental.
But put them all together...
And we're looking for is a man who knows how to beat the safeties on an industrial fire door.
And on a vintage motocylce.
Last one was joey berlin, got mangled by a generator.
Last night at bassetts department store.
Eleven miles from here.
Connor...
Can you make a call on this ?
Relax, they're coming.
You know, when you get out of prison, you think "i did it, did my time."
pull enough crap in your life, you never stop doing time.
You have any idea what this is about ?
I haven't seen any of those guys in ten years.
Did any of these guys do time with you ?
Hell, no.
They were the pride of the precinct, the dream team, immaculate, untouchable.
Untouchable ?
Well, someone's trying to get back in touch with you.
Who'd have a reason ?
We put away a lot of creeps.
You want a list ?
Some of those...
Thank you.
Some of those guys you put away were wearing blue.
I told you, not on this team !
Hey !!
Hey, go easy.
None of this is easy.
Are you sure you're not painting these guys a brighter shade of white just because you want to ?
I know who i am and what i've done.
I don't need to color reality.
I noticed.
Here's the deal, connor.
Right now, you're at risk, and you're putting the whole team at risk.
What do you want I should do ?
Crawl into a hole ?
Close enough.
Until this is over, you lie low, you go underground.
And if it takes weeks ?
If it takes weeks, i'll buy you another bottle of reality.
Go easy.
Wine waits for no man.
Have you almost done ?
I just have to double check these last couple of quotes and ship it off to my editor.
I'll get that for you.
I didn't know you liked crosswords.
Of should i say, "loved crosswords."
i had some time to kill in the laundry room yesterday.
You should do laundry more often.
There's about three weeks worth of dirty clothes here.
It was a couple of hours.
You did that whole stack of crosswords in a couple of hours?
In pen ?
Wow, i better watch my back around you.
I'll watch yours.
Something i said ?
No.
Maybe something i did.
Those puzzles.
No crime in being smart.
I guess i'm a lot smarter than i thought i was.
Obviously.
You chose me.
As i recall, you picked me.
Really ?
Yeah.
Two smart people, huh ?
Think that'll work out ?
As long as the tie-breakers go to me.
You know, for a girl who likes to come across as a tough guy, you might want to hide your bronte collection.
It reveals the romantic in you.
You've been snooping my bookshelves ?
I'm a reporter.
Occupational hazard.
You going to write my story ?
Or just get to know it.
And i hope it's a very long one...
With lots of installments.
Timing is everything.
This better be extremely important.
Hello...
Jane, it's andre.
I need you to get over to connor's.
I thought he was... "
Out of town".
Yeah, he's laying low, but he rembered some letters written from a couple of guys on his squad.
They're a few years old, but they might give us some more personal insight than what riley can bring up on his computer.
They're in a box in his garage.
Right now ?
Yes, right now, is there a problem ?
No, it's fine.
Good, while you're there, i want you to dig around for anything else that might be, relevant.
Liste, none of us are perfect, jane.
That's definitely includes connor, he might be withholding information that could jeopardize us all, especially himself.
I'll take care of it.
Good, call me when you're done.
Right.
I've got to go.
Will you promise to hold that last thought ?
It was more than a thought, but don't worry, it's not going to change for quite some time.
Nice to meet you too !!!
This would be a lot easier if you tell me where king is.
Who the hell are you ?
You are going to find out right now !!
I just wanna talk to him !
He was tall, about 6 foot, short hair, silver, with a little bit of black on the sides.
Ring any bells ?
About a million guys playing the slots in vegas.
This wasn't his first fight.
The guy knew what he was doing with a knife.
You got those photos ?
I ran an aging program on the old photo.
These are the surviving members of connor's team.
That's him !!
William hoyt pierce.
Senior officer.
We lost touch when i went upstate.
Look like he's feeling nostalgic.
Riley, current address ?
The guy's law enforcement, he's always on the move, no fixed address.
He's off the radar completely.
You're saying you can't find him.
I never say never.
Maybe we need to let him find us.
Connor, we got you in sight.
Nothing arriving except one vehicle.
There.
King !
Pierce was here and never changed position.
The truck made no course corrections.
Pierce was the intended target the whole time.
He wasn't after you.
He was trying to warn you.
Or kill me because he thought i was behind it.
The truck shows no sign of mechanical tampering.
And no one behind the wheel.
So we're looking for a guy who can control a five ton truck without touching it.
We need to alert the surviving team members.
One guy had his legs caught in a combine.
Second was crushed from the pelvis down.
And the third who was dragged into the generator...
Was that feet first ?
Yes...
Connor's near-misses.
Either one could have cut his legs off.
Connor, can you think of anybody who'd have any reason to take these guys out from the bottom up?
Beeman.
Harry beeman.
Fire doors !
System breach !
Lockdown engaged !
Intruders ?
I can't tell.
Systems are going crazy !
Assume the worst.
Ahh !!!!
Seth, secure positions !!!
Riley !
release the weapons locker !
It should be open !
Well it's not !
Something's jamming me.
Override's no go.
Don't waste the ammo.
We don't know what's coming, and we've got, what ?
Twenty rounds each ?
Extra mags in the fridge.
Riley, the door !!!!
Everybody back !!!
Everybody back !!!
Seth !
Close.
Thanks.
Riley, what's our status?
Systems are completely down.
Check your sidearms.
Connor, divide up those extra mags.
Chip gun ?
Yes.
There's only long range clips in the fridge.
All the scopes and rifles are in the weapons locker.
Remind me to store more stuff in the fridge.
Fire doors came slamming down.
Manual override's jammed.
Then we're sealed in.
Someone's turning our own security against us.
Harry.
You knew this day was coming.
You earned it.
This is my station.
These are my people.
So explain yourself to me.
I don't answer to you !!
I don't answer to anybody !!
Not since the day mr.
King left me in a building where tons of rubble came down on me.
It was a standard perp extraction, harry.
No one knew he'd wired the place with c-4.
No one could have.
Except maybe the cowards sent me in first.
It could have been any of us.
It should have been all of us!!!!
But you've moved on.
Got a new team.
A brave captain.
But for me, things just stay the same.
In this chair, every day.
That's my life.
Thinking about what should have been.
And what shouldn't.
And then you're life changed, you developed 'special powers.
' yeah.
Funny, huh ?
Can't move my legs but i can move a half-ton truck.
And all sorts of other interesting things, like loading dock doors and motorcycle gears without having to lift a finger.
Guess somebody up there's looking out for me.
Joe !!!
You won't take me out with machines.
Machines serve me.
He's gone.
Joe !!!
He's gone!!!
Andre!
The light!
Joe, can you hear me?
Seth, the train, if he rolls it...
Joe is down there, we can't leave him, go help.
Nobody hung beeman out to dry, and this was by the books, it was just damn stupid luck that he was first in.
And now it's our damn stupid luck he can use this equipment against us.
You want me to apologize to the bastard, I will.
But i didn't put him in that chair, that's not how it went down.
Somehow, i don't think an apology's going to work.
We're talking revenge here.
The guy's been stewing for years.
It might've started that way, but i don't think that's what it is now.
Seth and joe aren't part of his past.
They weren't on his squad.
He knows i could give a crap if he took me out first.
He's enjoying himself.
Showing me what he can do to my team before he takes me down.
The flashlights too.
He's coming at us again!!
Crap.
You're looking okay, joe.
I'm not, but i do what i can.
Good work, seth.
What the hell is he doing ?
Waiting.
He's got the advantage.
Riley, what do we have left ?
There's still power to the security grid.
But i'm being blocked out.
I'd say our neuro's using our own grid to spy on us.
That's how he knows where we are.
We're not going to be able to open the doors until riley can regain control of the system.
There's another way out.
Original engineers put in those fire doors, to protect the line.
They put in an emergency evacuation shaft, too.
Where ?
Part of the ventilation tunnel.
There's ladders, manual hatches, it leads right up to the street.
Lead on.
I'm staying.
I leave here, he's going to keep on coming.
Okay, by letting him kill you, that'll stop him ?
No.
Idiot.
But i have an idea.
I could use your help.
Are you asking me for help ?
You gonna do it or call a press conference ?
Fine, i'm in.
Good.
Everybody out of here.
I'll be back with some firepower.
I want to hurry.
Let's go !!
Right down here.
Alright.
Your call...
Boss.
Down this way.
That's it.
Long way up.
Sure, you can make it, joe ?
I race you.
We'll do it together.
Are you kidding me ?
Is it locked ?
Joe, what the hell is that ?
That's crazy.
This stuff's been disconnected for 15 years.
That doesn't seem to bother beeman.
Please tell me we're not about to be sucked up into that fan.
Doesn't have that kind of draw.
You feel that breeze, though ?
From the fans.
They're spinning in reverse.
They're not blowing air into this shaft...
They're sucking it out.
We make our way up the tracks.
Make it look like we know where we're going...
Like we've got a way out.
If beeman's watching us, maybe he'll come out of hiding to stop us.
And you need me for this plan because...?
I want to keep you close to me, so i keep my eye on you.
I didn't think i could help the others.
Maybe they can help themselves but...
You're the one that matters to me.
Probably the only thing that's mattered to me in a long time.
Beeman probably knows how i feel about you.
And that puts you in his spotlight.
If anything happened to you...
It'd be worse than hell.
How much air do you think we have ?
We'll know when we run out of breath.
There's a manual hatch at the top.
If we can get there in time.
Riley, let's check it out.
Hustle up.
I don't think, we have much time left.
Don't stop riley, keep going.
Come on !
They have to get the hatch open.
Andre !!!!
I'm working on it ! "
No one could have seen that coming," right, connor ?!!
Just bad luck you sent her in first.
Question...
Can you live with yourself now ?!!
Yeah.
I can live with myself.
Hey, kiddo, you alright ?
The only woman i know who gets hit by a train and lives to tell about it.
Ooh !
That looks like it hurt.
Boss, the fan !
The door !
Try the door !
What ?
Open the door !
Clear.
Let's go, come on.
Everybody okay ?
All in one piece.
When the fans stopped, we knew you must have done it, you chipped him !
I stopped him.
you don't worry about that thing starting up and ripping your face off ?
Maybe i figure it's someone else's turn to have a homicidal neuro on their trail this week.
Lightning only strikes once, huh?
Bike's gotta get fixed.
You think on your feet, vasco.
I'll give you that.
When a guy starts declaring his undying affection, it wakes you up.
Knowing how sensitive and romantic you are...
I knew you were up to something.
And being in love with me obviously wasn't it.
Obviously.
Beeman was watching us.
Figured we'd give him a show.
I was betting on the fact that he hated me enough to take it out on you.
Lucky me.
It worked.
It did at that.
You get a lot of that ?
Guys 'declaring' ?
I'm a girl.
Occupational hazard.
Anything i can do to help ?
You could hand me that torque wrench.
This ?
That's the one.
How long you been working on it?
About nine months.
Your baby.
That's the thing.
Women never appreciate the beauty of a well-built machine.
I'm not so sure about that.
You know what they say about judging books by their covers.
Maybe it's the same with people.
Some of us work hard to present a cover to the world around us...
Even to the people we're closest to.
The kind of cover that makes people to walk by without ever picking up the book.
The pages remain unread and there's nothing to be learned between the lines.
Hey, you gonna help or watch Oh, yeah.
Hand me the damn ratchet wrench over there !
This ?
That will do.
