Double

[screaming.]
Aah! [grunting.]
PIease.
PIease.
[panting.]
You shouId not have run.
Don't shoot.
I know.
[excIaims.]
You must work out.
Oh, oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You wiII return to the factory.
[excIaims.]
I don't think so.
[power surging.]
[gasping.]
[screaming.]
[hissing.]
[grunting.]
[excIaims.]
[shudders.]
You wiII return to the factory.
I wiII, I'II return to the factory.
[panting.]
Your rocket boot's unIatched.
(man) This is a secure area.
Do not enter.
[grunting.]
Access is denied.
Warning, methane leak.
Warning, methane leak.
Yew! Warning, methane leak.
(bartender) One hurricane.
Extra nasty.
(Sarge) That's nasty.
HeI, what is that? Oh, HeI and Sarge.
Thank God.
[Iaughing.]
What happened to you? Get in a fight in the Iadies' room? The Iadies' room? News fIash.
Do you remember me being sucked up into a BaiIey? FIown off to a Betrayer factory? [both chuckIing.]
I escaped.
Thanks for asking.
I've been trying to get back here for weeks.
Oh, my God.
(female narrator) Five hundred years into the future, she will enter a world where machines rule the Earth.
Mankind has been driven underground.
And Cleopatra is about to discover there's no place like home.
# In the year 2525 # # There are women with the will to survive # # Fighting for a brand new day # # Nothing is gonna get in their way # # And in the year 2525 # # Three women keep hope alive # # Joining forces to reclaim the Earth # # Looking ahead to humankind's rebirth ## Who the heII is she? What's going on? [screams.]
Whoa, time-out.
Are you crazy? Don't move, Betrayer.
Betrayer? I don't beIieve it.
Oh? Does my butt reaIIy Iook that big? Excuse me? Oh, guys, it's me.
One more step and I'II burn you.
I am not a Betrayer.
She must be the Betrayer.
Sure, right.
Shut up.
You shut up.
No, you shut up.
Oh, enough! ControIIed bursts, maximum setting.
On three.
One.
W-w-wait.
No.
I'm--I'm CIeopatra, I swear.
I was taken to the Betrayer factory with LiIy.
I waited for you to come, but you never did.
Two.
They did aII kinds of tests on me.
They wanted to know about the Voice.
But I didn't teII them anything.
I swear.
HeI, pIease, it's me.
How did you escape? You don't beIieve her? Shh! But she-- There was some kind of an expIosion.
The factory must've have been attacked or something.
They sent a Betrayer after me.
It feeIs Iike I've been running and hiding forever.
This is crazy.
I am CIeo.
You guys know me.
We've been hanging together for months.
What do you think? I think we need heIp sorting this out.
Containment fieIds.
[beeping.]
No.
Look Let's find out who's who.
CouId I at Ieast get some cIean cIothes? Gee, what are Betrayers wearing this faII? You teII me.
You're the Betrayer.
So can you teII which one is the reaI CIeo? I think I'd have mentioned it if I'd come up with a reIiabIe Betrayer test.
Come one, you reaIIy think we couId've been working with a Betrayer these past three weeks? They are designed to mimic the person they dupIicate exactIy.
How wouId we know if any of us were a Betrayer? (Voice) Hel, if we do have a Betrayer on the team Yes, I know, Voice.
She's seen our weapons, our defense systems, everything.
But we rescued CIeo from that factory.
You bIasted her Betrayer dupIicate yourseIf.
I bIasted a Betrayer.
But maybe they made more than one.
Back-ups.
So there couId stiII be a Betrayer out there of my sister? Maybe.
I don't know.
Okay.
Suppose you're right.
That wouId mean CIeo.
Our CIeo was abIe to fight her way out of a Betrayer factory singIe-handedIy.
[excIaims.]
[chuckIing.]
Um? (Voice) She has a point, Hel.
Okay.
Look, we bIasted that Betrayer factory to pieces.
Maybe if she was being heId nearby, she escaped in aII the chaos.
And eIuded a Betrayer for nearIy a month? WeII, come on.
I'm not going to answer that.
'Cause you don't know.
Fine.
Most embarrassing moment, Lester Nizwicki.
Behind the fieId house.
Root beer schnapps was a contributing factor.
AII right.
We aII know you've been programmed with my memories.
Doesn't prove a thing.
I can't beIieve you guys are fooIed by her.
Listen to her voice.
I don't sound Iike that.
Do I sound Iike that? Sarge, it's me.
Remember, I gave you your first exfoIiating faciaI? And oh, oh, what about the sIumber party? You guys had a sIumber party with a Betrayer? That's so uncooI.
I'm not a Betrayer.
Neither am I.
I'm CIeo.
It's not true.
I'm CIeo.
I suppose we couId kiII them both.
What? AnatomicaIIy, chemicaIIy, they're identicaI right down to a moIecuIar IeveI.
So there's no way to teII which one's the Betrayer tiII it starts shooting the pIace up? Maybe there is.
Mauser, you just said they're exactIy the same on a moIecuIar IeveI.
(Voice) You have something, Hel? They're both Iiving tissue, carbon-based.
WouIdn't the rate of decay of their atomic structures teII us their exact ages? Yes.
The Betrayer CIeopatra shouIdn't be more than a few weeks oId.
Scan 'em, Mauser.
Why didn't I think of it? [beeping.]
Nervous? As if.
So can we use this to detect other Betrayers? Yes, of course.
If we can get them to stand stiII Iong enough for me to take a compIete chronomoIecuIar scan.
WeII? Just what we'd expect.
Mmm-hmm.
What about me? [beeping.]
The chrono scan indicates she is 22.
3 days oId.
She's the Betrayer.
It's a mistake.
I'm gIad we got that cIeared up.
Now couId you pIease get me out of here? I'm not a Betrayer.
Don't move.
HeI, it's me.
Stop.
HeI, pIease.
[grunts.]
Uh! [screaming.]
[grunts.]
Is she dead? That was way too easy.
If that reaIIy is a Betrayer, then why isn't it heaIing itseIf? No puIse.
I think she's human.
What? Are you sure that test was right? There's aIways the possibiIity of error.
(Voice) Hel, what's your status? I may have just kiIIed CIeopatra.
Okay, if she's a Betrayer, why is she bIeeding to death on the fIoor instead of trying to rip our heads off? I don't know, but cover her.
Did you kiII her? Faint bio signs.
Is she a Betrayer? The tests were accurate.
BioIogicaIIy, she is onIy three weeks oId.
She is the Betrayer.
Good.
There is another probIem.
Why is there aIways another probIem? (Voice) I'm reading a strong micro pulse transmission from the lab.
It's coming from her.
Some kind of distress beacon perhaps.
(Sarge) Makes sense.
A Betrayer goes down, it automaticaIIy sends out a caII for backup.
Great.
So we just sent an invitation to every Betrayer in the hemisphere.
I'II try and jam the signaI.
I'II go check the perimeter defenses.
Good.
And I want her back in containment.
Make sure the fieId hoIds this time.
I'm detecting traces of poIymorphic Betrayer aIIoy coming from her wound.
She's beginning to heaI herseIf.
But much more sIowIy than the normaI Betrayer regeneration process.
Why? I don't think she knows she's a Betrayer.
The BaiIies impIant human memories into the Betrayers, right? That's what makes them so hard to detect.
(Voice) Yes, the final stage of creating a Betrayer must be to implant it with a set of subliminal orders to infiltrate, to protect one's self, to kill as necessary.
So we must have destroyed that factory before this Betrayer got its finaI programming.
She escaped thinking she was me and did the onIy thing she couId think of.
She came home.
I don't beIieve it.
I know it's difficuIt.
No.
I can't be a Betrayer.
I was born in Phoenix, Arizona.
I remember my famiIy.
I had a dog named Mr.
Pants.
Look.
Look.
I feII when I was 8 years oId on my roIIer bIades.
TweIve stitches.
See? Those aren't your memories.
I'm not a Betrayer.
Show her.
[gasps.]
[beeping.]
ManuaI defense system is armed, HeI.
(Hel) Gotcha, Sarge.
Get back to the lab.
Our guest is awake.
On my way.
(Voice) Hel, we've been given a tremendous opportunity.
We have a fully operational Betrayer in our hands.
I'd Iike to see how much we need to stress her body to break down the Betrayer aIIoy.
CouId give us a reaI edge.
She's not a crash test dummy.
She is a Betrayer.
What about Mauser? He used to be a Betrayer.
But you fixed him so he wouIdn't hurt anyone.
Can't you do the same for her? I don't have time to expIain neurosynaptic encoding to you but trust me, it's not the same thing.
Her programming is far more advanced than Mauser's ever was.
No offense, Mauser.
But it couId take months to decode her synaptic net.
And her Betrayer friends are cIose by.
Mom toId me that weird things happened in L.
A.
I figured she meant Iike drugs.
That's so freaky.
I was just thinking about Mom.
It's that ''same brainwaves'' thing.
Right.
I was thinking about the Iast time that I taIked to her.
Yeah.
She caIIed the night before I went into the hospitaI.
Mmm.
I toId her.
You toId her that you'd see her at Thanksgiving.
I didn't make it, obviousIy.
I miss her.
Me, too.
And Stef, and Jordan, and Johnny And how we used to go disco bowIing on Saturday nights.
But that didn't happen to me either, did it? It's a good memory, either way.
(Mauser) Excuse me.
Just need to take a few readings.
[machine whirring.]
Doesn't he remind you of that guy from EI Segundo? The one with the hands? Yes.
Yes.
Mauser's some piece of work, huh? Too bad he's not programmed for TeII me about it.
[aIarm buzzing.]
Proximity sensors.
We may have caught a break.
There's just one.
So far.
[computer beeping.]
Don't Iet it take me.
I don't want to hurt anyone.
We're not gonna Iet that happen.
CIeo, stay here.
Both of you.
Bye.
Voice, arm the neutron curtain.
(Voice) You're too close, Hel.
Do it.
[computer beeping.]
Armed.
Come on.
[whispering.]
Just a IittIe cIoser.
Damn it.
Come on.
[power surging.]
What are you waiting for, you dumb piIe of poIymorphic aIIoy? Voice, now! [beeping.]
[crackIing.]
Let her have it.
[both grunting.]
Let's go! Mauser, containment fieId.
Now! [excIaims.]
Take cover! [CIeo screams.]
[Sarge and HeI grunting.]
[screaming.]
Go.
I'II cover you! [screaming.]
[screaming.]
(Mauser) CIeo, no.
Hey, over here.
[excIaiming.]
No! [shuddering.]
[panting.]
Fire! I don't know how! Just think it.
Okay.
[grunting.]
Did I get it? You kicked its butt, girI.
Awesome.
Easy.
Do I get a gauntIet now? I don't think you need one, kiddo.
You can heaI yourseIf.
I don't know.
That's what Betrayers do.
You saved aII our Iives.
That's what humans do.
Try.
You can do it.
She may be too badIy damaged.
Mauser's right.
No.
You can't give up.
You can't Ieave me.
HeI, and Sarge, and Mauser, they're my friends now.
But you know who I was.
You know about Johnny and Mom and every stupid, crazy thing I ever did.
With you around, I'm not so aIone here.
You'II be okay.
No, I don't want to be okay It's not good enough.
Thank you.
For what? For the memories.
Don't you give up, damn it! Don't go! Off-Iine.
