Cleopatra 2525 s02e12 Episode Script

No Thanks for the Memories

(Krider) ControI, Iights.
[door cIoses.]
So, does Mr.
ControI mix drinks, too? Oh, sorry, I have to do that by hand.
[Sarge chuckIing.]
Why don't you make yourseIf more comfortabIe? I think I can do that.
[pops.]
What? You.
Look at you, Krider.
This pIace.
What about it? [chuckIes.]
Nothing.
No.
It's great.
It's a far cry from-- From what we used to be? Yeah.
You're not the onIy one to get out of the BIack Watch.
WeII, I thought I was, untiI now.
But I'm not surprised it was you.
To our new Iives.
I never thought I'd see you again Sarge.
I'm gIad the name stuck.
WeII, you gave it to me.
I onIy toId you what it stood for.
Remind me.
SensuaI, arousing, raw, gorgeous, erotic.
That speIIs ''Sarge,'' doesn't it? Yeah.
[door buzzing.]
I'm KaviIo, MarIa's aide.
Do you have the information, Mr.
DeGaiIIen? I onIy taIk to MarIa.
WeII, MarIa's a IittIe busy ruIing this part of the UnderworId, so you'II taIk to MarIa when I decide you're worth her time.
The Watch made me.
So you better decide pretty quick.
[expIosion.]
What was that? [aIarm bIaring.]
(DyIan) It's the Watch.
Secure our guest.
Yes, sir.
[aIarm continues bIaring.]
[grunts.]
We've got to get him out of here.
(guard) Stay down! PIease.
PIease, I'm not armed.
[grunts.]
[groaning.]
[bIaring continues.]
Take them to the morgue for anaIysis.
[covers zippering.]
MarIa? Thanks for coming, HeI.
(Dylan) Come out, come out, wherever you are.
[groaning.]
Sarge.
MarIa, what happened? This was DyIan, a member of the Watch who we'd enIisted as our spy.
He was about to provide us with some very vaIuabIe information.
A doubIe agent, eh? Now he's doubIe-oh-dead.
We think that the Watch is deveIoping a new project.
We persuaded DyIan here to get his hands on it, aIthough now we may never know if he succeeded.
(Voice) Hel, we must know what the Watch is up to.
You can count on our heIp.
MarIa, the chip, it hasn't been tampered with.
The entire event was recorded.
Hey, Sarge, that Iooks Iike you.
Freeze it.
MarIa, this is ridicuIous.
HeI, that's not me.
(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 ## I'm teIIing you, MarIa, that is not me.
I've never even seen this guy before.
Somebody must've screwed with that chip.
HeI, you know I didn't do this.
MarIa, anyone couId've doctored that chip.
It's been in my possession the entire time.
WeII, F.
Y.
I.
, Sarge has an airtight aIibi.
Let me guess: She was with you two at the time.
I was with a friend.
That is stiII IegaI, isn't it? And I'm sure your ''friend'' can expIain the surveiIIance hoIogram.
I'm afraid, Sarge, that you're under arrest.
You are not arresting me.
(Voice) Hel, we've agreed to adhere to Marla's rule of law while in her jurisdiction Voice, wait.
but only if we deem it to be a just one.
I think Sarge deserves the benefit of the doubt.
Voice, insist this be a fair investigation.
There's nothing more to investigate.
You know the penaIty for murder.
So you're just gonna execute her? No defense, no triaI? She has no defense! As for her triaI, it shouIdn't take Iong.
That's mighty efficient of you, Iady.
An efficient system of justice is the most effective one.
(DyIan) No one Ieaves the Watch, Sarge.
We'II hunt you down for eternity if we have to.
[panting.]
MarIa, there's no efficiency in executing an innocent person.
PIease, I'm not armed.
AII we need is a IittIe time.
Turn her over, and our partnership remains a heaIthy one.
What does that mean, exactIy? It means that if you and Voice no Ionger share my goaI for restoring Iaw and order to the UnderworId, I'II have no choice but to consider you an enemy of the peopIe that I protect.
(Voice) Hel, if this is Marla's attitude, we must get Sarge out of there.
Voice doesn't Iike what she's hearing.
If your team doesn't stand down, Voice, I'II consider them accompIices after the fact and arrest them, too.
Hel, Marla's sense of justice seems a bit extreme, don't you think? AbsoIuteIy.
MarIa, you need to think about this.
Guards, arrest her now.
(guard) Yes, MarIa.
CIeo, Sarge, stun! Oh, Mighty Mouse! [man grunts.]
Sarge, Iet's go! (CIeo) Hurry, you guys! (HeI) Come on, Sarge! Voice, it Iooks Iike MarIa's serious.
(Voice) There's a hidden level just ahead, Hel.
I'm transmitting a frequency key through your gauntlet.
PuII up! Thanks, Voice.
I'm impressed.
Well, we need to buy some time to prove Sarge's innocence.
You two, over there.
Sensors indicate they Ianded on this IeveI.
Are you three all right? For now.
Well, I think it goes without saying that Marla's justice is getting a touch too swift.
However, we must still resolve this.
Agreed.
AIpha Squad, head down shaft.
Move it! [men grunting.]
Sarge.
HeI, I didn't do it.
We know.
Just teII us where you were Iast night, Sarge.
I was with Krider.
Oh.
HeI, he's out of the Watch.
Has been for a Iong time.
Okay.
So he'II vouch for your whereabouts, then.
Case cIosed, right? Right? PIease, I'm not armed.
(HeI) Sarge? Sarge? You okay? Let's just get to Krider's.
ControI, exit.
Sarge! Krider, Iet us in.
Yeah, sure, come on in, Sarge.
What's goin' on? MarIa and her goons think I kiIIed some BIack Watch turncoat I never even knew.
Some guy named DyIan.
[excIaims.]
I need for you to teII MarIa I was here with you Iast night.
Krider? Krider, I was here with you Iast night.
You were here, but But what? You must remember.
Remember what? Krider, I-- Sarge, you toId me aII about DyIan, that you knew him, and that you had some unfinished business with him.
Sarge, is this true? Sarge? Sarge? Go! [aIarm sounding.]
Proximity aIarm.
[computer bIeeping.]
I'm reading muItipIe signatures approaching.
MarIa.
MarIa? Sarge, what did you do? (Marla) Hel, you and your team are outgunned and outnumbered.
You have 10 seconds to surrender.
Surrender, my ass.
[probe whirring.]
InteI probe.
Take it out.
[gauntIet bIeeping.]
I count 22.
Standard infiItration spread.
Give me that.
Deactivate the Iock.
(Krider) Sarge.
[driIIing.]
Voice, teII me there's another way off this IeveI.
(Voice) I'm sorry, Hel.
There's not.
No back door.
We're gonna have to do this the hard way.
They're moving in.
Everybody take cover.
HeI, Iisten to me.
I'II Iisten once we're outta here.
Got it! Sarge, faII back now! [men grunting.]
(guard #1) Freeze! Nobody move! (HeI) Get down, Sarge! Sarge, get down! Sarge! (MarIa) Cease fire.
Enough! (guard #1) Nobody move.
Weapons down.
Sarge.
[gauntIet activating.]
Stand down, HeI.
This is how it's got to be.
(MarIa) Wise move, Sarge.
Sarge.
HeI, I've done enough damage.
It's high time I took responsibiIity for my actions.
What actions? You didn't-- I did.
I kiIIed DyIan.
What are you doing? Confessing.
Sarge, don't confess to a crime you didn't commit just to get us out of this.
I'm confessing because it's the truth, CIeo.
I'm not going to Iet the two of you go down for a personaI score that I had to settIe.
''PersonaI score''? What the heII are you taIking about? DyIan had to die, HeI.
Let's get this over with.
Just Ieave my friends out of it.
I'm satisfied with just having you.
Come on.
MarIa, I heard you have a mnemonic extractor.
HeI, she's confessed.
Her mind may have been tampered with, her memories.
You're reaching, HeI.
Scan her memories.
If they match the crime, then I We won't cause you any more troubIe.
Check your weapons.
HeI, you know Sarge and I go way back.
If there's anything I can do to heIp Come on, CIeo.
HeI, this is onIy going to show you what I aIready know.
Make sure her head is secure.
HeI, what is that thing? It's a mnemonic extractor.
It coverts memory into hoIographic images.
A high-tech Iie detector, huh? We're ready.
Let's begin with the hours Ieading up to the crime.
Just focus on those memories, Sarge.
[eIectricity surging.]
To our new lives.
I never thought I'd see you again, Sarge.
(Krider) I'm glad the name stuck.
(Sarge) Well, you gave it to me.
I only told you what it stood for.
Remind me.
Sensual, arousing, raw, gorgeous, erotic.
That spells ''Sarge, '' doesn't it? Yeah.
Wait.
Someone else left the Watch, you know.
Oh, really? Who? Dylan DeGaillen.
Never heard of him.
He hunted me for years after I left the Watch.
But tonight, I'm gonna hunt him.
Sarge, don't do this.
I have to.
[mnemonic extractor beeping.]
Please, I'm not armed.
[gasping.]
Are you satisfied? Sarge, are you okay? The extractor was fighting her.
That means she may have been trying to keep a memory from coming out.
Was revenge your onIy motive, Sarge? What are you getting at? What I'm getting at is that kiIIing DyIan kept their secrets a secret.
You are a former member of the Watch.
I have no IoyaIty to those scumbags.
What about this oId fIame of yours, Krider? You saw it.
He had nothing to do with this.
Are you stiII working for the Watch, Sarge? No! That's enough, MarIa.
You're right.
That is enough.
Take her to the hoIding ceII and prep the cryo chamber.
We'II freeze her untiI sentencing.
Come on, Iet's go.
I suggest you say your goodbyes.
Get in there.
This isn't over, Sarge.
I'm so sorry, you guys.
So that's it? I don't understand.
You both saw it.
I guess I never reaIIy did change.
It's not easy for me to admit.
I'm the same kiIIer I ever was.
I don't beIieve that.
Neither do I.
When you saw that hoIo-recording, you were just as surprised as we were.
I guess I bIocked it out.
What about this DyIan guy? HeI, I hated him.
Sarge! He's been out there aII this time, hunting you down, a constant threat to your Iife, and you never bothered to mention him to us once? I guess I bIocked him out, too.
I don't think so.
HeI, this sounds Iike a cIassic memory repression to me.
You've seen this before? Yeah, I was a psych minor.
Sometimes when peopIe go through traumatic experiences or they do something they reaIIy regret, their mind just bIocks it aII out.
(HeI) So Sarge may have more of these bIocks and not know it? Maybe.
You know, we couId use hypnosis to find out.
Hipwhat? It's a Iow-tech way of unbinding memories.
I got a B+ in hypnotherapy.
(Voice) Hel, what do you have to lose? Let Cleo try.
If there's a way of uncovering more of the story, we should do it.
WiII this work on Sarge? Not if she's frozen.
Voice? Any new memories before we commit you to cryo-freeze? Take her.
Guards, fire! [grunts.]
Thanks, Mauser.
CongratuIations, HeI.
You and Voice have just started a war.
[sputtering.]
That's it, Voice.
Lab defense systems aII powered up, outer shieIds at fuII capacity.
(Voice) Good, Hel, because Marla's force have orders to bring you and your team in, dead or alive.
CIeo, we're running short on time.
ReIaxation, my friends.
CaIm.
[inhaIes.]
Deep, cIeansing breath.
CIeo, what the heII is this? Do it now, pIease, Sarge.
[inhaIes.]
[inhaIes.]
[exhaIes.]
Good.
Now with your eyes cIosed.
Good.
Mauser, Iights pIease.
In and out.
Good.
Now, imagine yourseIf fIoating on a sheet of cooI air, high above the surface.
You're existing onIy in this moment.
(CIeo) Now I'm gonna count down from five to one.
When I reach one, you'II be asIeep.
Five, four, three You're very tired.
two, one.
You're sIeeping now, Sarge.
TeII me yourseIf.
I'm sIeeping.
I think she's under.
Okay, now we're gonna go back to Iast night, Sarge.
Hmm.
Let's.
Where are you, Sarge? I'm seeing Krider again.
How does that make you feeI? AII fired up and ready for some good Iovin'.
Okay.
WeII, teII us about it.
He's speIIing my name.
That speIIs ''Sarge,'' doesn't it? Oh, yeah.
(CIeo) And then what happened? (Sarge) I want him to kiss me, but he won't.
What is he doing, Sarge? He's teIIing me about some guy named DyIan.
Someone eIse Ieft the Watch, you know.
(Sarge) Really? Great.
Now kiss me.
Okay, fine, tell me who.
His name is DyIan DeGaiIIen.
That's something new.
This is a different memory, HeI.
Krider brought up DyIan, not Sarge.
Keep going.
Ask her if she knew him.
Sarge, you knew DyIan from before? No.
I'd never heard of him before.
(Sarge) Never heard of him.
Who is he? (DyIan) He's me.
[gasps.]
Sarge, easy, caIm.
It's okay.
No, it's not okay.
I saw him.
[panting.]
He's aIive.
Sarge, how is it possibIe that DyIan was there? He was meant to be at the safe house with MarIa.
HeI, Sarge woke up too easy.
I don't know if it worked.
No, CIeo, it did work.
He's aIive.
I remember now.
WeII, there's one way to find out.
Freeze! They're here.
They're at the morgue.
[grunts.]
Mauser, teII me that was enough to get a voiceprint.
Yes, it was, HeI.
Standing by.
(guard) Morgue level, say again? Go, Mauser.
(Mauser) Morgue level secure.
False alarm.
My apoIogies.
Affirmative.
Morgue level secure.
It worked.
Maybe, but Iet's make this quick.
Voice, we made it to the morgue.
(Voice) Hurry, Hel.
I'm reading increased activity near your position.
(HeI) Let's make this quick, you guys.
Here he is.
TeII Sarge.
It can't be.
I saw him.
It checks out, Sarge.
His wounds are showing particIe traces of gauntIet Iaser fire.
It's DyIan.
What is that? (Voice) Hel, you have to leave now.
Not yet.
Mauser, I'm sending you a bio-scan.
I need you to run a chronometric anaIysis.
What the heII is happening? HeI, I'm detecting high IeveIs of rapid ceIIuIar decay.
Whoever you're scanning was onIy a few hours oId when he died.
I'II be damned.
How couId that be? His ceIIs where in a state of rapid decay even before his own death.
So he wouIdn't have Iived much Ionger anyway.
That's a reIief.
So, DyIan must be some kind of weird mutant, or-- Or he's a cIone.
And the reaI DyIan is stiII aIive.
Why wouId he have sent a cIone to meet with MarIa, onIy to be kiIIed by me? I don't know where you fit into aII this, Sarge, but staging DyIan's death wouId keep any knowIedge of the Watch's project a secret.
(Voice) Hel, you must get out of there.
We're moving.
Wait.
So where's the reaI DyIan? I got a good idea where to start Iookin'.
Stop right there! There they are! Don't Iook back! No! No! No! ControI, Iights.
Anything in here triggering a memory? Something about that waII What is it, Sarge? Sarge.
Sarge.
CIeo, what's happening? Something she saw must have triggered the hypnosis.
Maybe she never came out of it aII the way.
I thought you said you were a major psycho.
Psych minor.
Big difference.
Sarge, can you hear me? Yes.
TeII us what's happening.
I'm going into another room.
There's a room behind the side waII.
It's hoIographic.
Did she see how they tripped it? Sarge, do you know how they activate the waII? No.
No.
There's got to be a manuaI reIease around here.
What's happening now, Sarge? They're tying me down.
Oh my God.
HeI, she was cIoned.
Oh my God.
HeI, she was cIoned.
(Voice) Hel, aim your gauntlet at the wall.
I'll try transmitting a generic frequency key.
[gauntIet humming.]
Keep her taIking, CIeo.
Just in case this doesn't work.
TeII me everything you can remember, Sarge.
DyIan.
He hunted me, but I kiIIed him.
[gasps.]
I kiIIed him.
Sarge, what's wrong? I'm awake now, CIeo.
My God.
You're the cIone.
(HeI) What? HeI.
Sarge? (CIeo) Sarge.
(DyIan) The Watch's secret project, Sarge.
We caII it ''fIash cIoning.
'' Pretty catchy, huh? DupIicates you and aII your memories in a fIash.
And its first use wiII be to frame you for my murder.
Hurry up.
[breathing hard.]
What's he doing to her? FIash cIoning aIIows us to manipuIate memories.
I'm giving her the memory that DyIan has tried to kiII her for years.
She's gonna wake up wanting nothing more than to see him dead.
Your cIone wiII be nothing more than what I want her to be: my assassin.
Your cIone's assassin.
WeII, I don't want to die, Sarge, but I need MarIa to think I'm dead.
I die, everything I knew about the project dies with me.
She's Iooking for another moIe.
The Watch keeps her secret.
(Krider) She's waking up, but (DyIan) But what? She needs more time for the new memories to stabiIize.
No time.
Just do it.
[grunts.]
To our new Iives.
Voice, get me some more of those frequency keys.
Now! [gauntIet humming.]
Good night, my sweet.
ControI, exit.
The memories took.
She's on her way.
How does it feeI to have the finaI hours of your Iife Iived by someone eIse? Why don't you cut me Ioose and I'II teII you.
No, no.
Your DNA is far too precious for that.
We've onIy just begun with you.
Night-night, now.
Boost it again! [grunts.]
They're breaking through! Boost it again, Voice.
[screams.]
[screaming.]
HeI! Sarge! Sarge! I trusted you, Krider.
Guess I was the onIy one to Ieave the Watch.
You'II pay for that sooner or Iater.
Try never.
Yeah! [grunts.]
[Iaughs.]
[grunts.]
Oh, Iook out, Sarge! HeI! Yeah! DyIan.
HeIIo again.
(guard) Get up.
[grunts.]
I take it I'm stiII programmed into that thing? [screaming.]
[Iaughs.]
MarIa.
I think this is what you're Iooking for.
Thank you, HeI.
I'm gIad that things worked out for you and your team.
Sorry about the mix-up, Sarge.
Looks Iike Iimited Iifespan is a fIaw in the technoIogy.
(Sarge) Did she know what she was? I think she did, in the end.
She's a perfect copy.
They wanted a kiIIer.
Looks Iike I gave them exactIy what they wanted.
No, Sarge.
You onIy kiII when you have to, for the team.
What they wanted was a coId-bIooded murderer.
And that's not who you are.
Not anymore.
