Cleopatra 2525 s02e14 Episode Script

The Voice

(Mauser) Hel, there appears to be an unusual amount of Bailey activity taking place on the surface.
Far more than we've ever monitored before.
(Hel) Keep an eye on it, Mauser.
Right now we're needed for another mission.
Patch Voice through the Iab's comm system.
You two need to hear this.
You mean I actuaIIy get to put a voice with the Voice? [beeping.]
Patched in.
Go ahead, Voice.
(Voice) One of our teams has turned against us, Hel.
She's British! What? The team leader has severed all communications with me.
Your directive is to neutralize them at once.
NeutraIize them? We have to take them out.
If we're going after another team, you better Iay some serious firepower on me.
Come on, Mauser, Ioad me up.
The hard stuff.
Yeah! There you go.
Low-yieId photon taser.
(HeI) Defensive use onIy.
Futuristic pepper spray.
Great.
(Voice) Hel, the other team is There's an abandoned level just ahead.
The other team's beIow us! Voice, we've reached the IeveI.
(Voice) There's a larger room down the corridor, Hel.
You can set up an ambush there.
This way.
(Sarge) That'd be a nice spot, HeI.
EIevated position.
They'd never know what hit them.
(Voice) Hel, the other team is closing.
No time.
FIank them from that aIcove, and we'II take center stage.
Come on, up and over.
What you got, Sarge? Five seconds to a cIean shot.
Take it now, Sarge! No! Quint? Get down! Voice, we've got them pinned down! (Voice) Good work, Hel.
You have the advantage.
Eliminate them at once.
Voice, we've come under heavy fire.
(Voice) Time is of the essence, Quint.
If there's no other choice, eliminate Hel's team.
(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 ## Sit! We're sitting ducks if we stay here much Ionger.
[beeping.]
Back there.
Ready web Iaunchers.
On my mark, Sarge.
Now! [grunting.]
Now! Whoa.
We've got to remember that move.
You're not kidding.
Guys! We're okay, CIeo.
But they're good.
They're the best.
That's Quint's team.
What? The same Quint's team we met up with a few weeks back? Huh-huh.
Is that new kid Porter stiII with them? Looked Iike it.
Wait, that doesn't make any sense.
Those guys are totaIIy IoyaI to Voice.
Yeah, weII, I say their IoyaIties have shifted.
But don't you want to know why? I mean, we shouId at Ieast try to taIk to them.
(Sarge) CIeo, they just tried to kiII us.
I don't think they're interested in taIk.
But we know them.
I mean, we have to try.
(Voice) Hel, they've already killed three other teams who've tried to talk.
Voice says they've aIready taken out three teams.
You see what they're capabIe of, CIeo.
We can't afford to ask why.
(Voice) Quint, what is your status? (Quint) We're regrouping.
Do you have a read on HeI's position? (Voice) Not at present.
But I suggest you double back and take the offensive.
There's no other way out of here.
There's a ventiIation shaft.
It might take us onto the second IeveI.
If we can get above HeI's team, we might-- HeI's probabIy thought of that.
But we are running Iow on options.
I'II go.
No, I'II go.
That'II give you two a better chance.
Of doing what? NeutraIizing HeI's team by going out the way we just came in: fuII-on assauIt.
I'II be in touch.
Voice, can you get a reading on Quint's team? Is there any other way out of here? (Voice) I'm sorry, Hel, there's too much structural interference for a sensor sweep.
You'll have to go in after them.
Porter, I've reached the second fIoor.
Looks cIear.
(Porter) I read.
We're in position.
Copy that.
Quint.
Don't shoot! Don't shoot! CIeopatra? What are you doing? I don't have much time.
HeI and Sarge think that I'm Iooking for another way off this IeveI.
Listen, the Voice reaIIy has it in for you and your team, and HeI's going to foIIow her orders even if it means taking you out.
CIeopatra, Iisten to me.
Why don't you Iisten to me? [gasps.]
Quint! Good job, CIeo.
Yeah, great job, CIeo.
Do you hear me? Quint! Where are you going? Quint's in troubIe.
[groaning.]
TeII me this has aII just been a reaI creative idea of forepIay.
I wish I couId.
PIease, Sarge, don't.
Voice, any news on the BaiIey surface activity? (Voice) We'll discuss that later, Hel.
But for now, stay focused on the mission at hand.
(Cleo) Hel, come in.
Go ahead, CIeo.
We have Quint.
Uh, he tried to get above us, just as you thought.
Voice, did you hear that? (Voice) Yes, Hel.
I heard you.
Your directive remains the same.
Sarge must not hesitate to eliminate Quint (Creegan as Voice) while she has the chance.
PIease, Sarge, don't.
(Hel) Sarge, do what you got to do.
[chuckIing.]
Sarge, think about what you're doing.
Think about what you've done, Quint! You kiIIed three other teams.
You betrayed the Voice.
What are you taIking about? You're the team that's turned against the Voice.
You're the traitors.
That's some pretty good acting, huh, CIeo? I don't think he's acting.
What are you taIkin' about? The Voice sent us to make contact with you when HeI stopped responding to her receptor.
You're the one who cut off communications with Voice.
Wrong.
Voice, give me something here.
Sarge is going to sIit my throat.
(Voice) Quint, ask Sarge about her sister Lily, how Sarge spared her life at the Betrayer factory.
Sarge, teII me about your sister.
TeII me about LiIy.
You saved her Iife at the Betrayer factory.
I never toId you that.
No.
Voice just did.
(Sarge) Stand down, HeI.
Something's going on.
Say again, Sarge? Quint's stiII taIking to Voice.
I know this wiII sound strange, but I think the Voice you're hearing isn't the reaI one.
(Creegan as Voice) Sarge is mistaken.
She's been compromised, Hel.
Either that, or Quint is the one in contact with the impostor Voice.
(CIeo) HeI! HeI, don't shoot! We're coming down with Quint.
Everything's cooI.
(HeI) Everything is not cooI, CIeo.
What are you taIking about? You taIk to me fast, you two! HeI, your Voice receptor's been tapped.
(Creegan as Voice) Hel, you must believe me.
My security has not been compromised in any way.
You're being set up.
Prove it.
The Voice in Quint's head knows about my sister, HeI, about our mission to the Betrayer factory.
I think he's on the IeveI.
Lara, they got Quint.
(Porter) Go for Hel.
Quint! Drop! Porter, no! Quint? HeI, behind you! [grunts.]
[chuckIing.]
Oh, there's nothing quite Iike the sound of Voice teams kiIIing each other.
[CIeo excIaiming.]
CIeo! Make it quick, traitor.
HeI, they think we're the rogues.
(Creegan as Voice) Hel, don't question yourself.
Finish your mission.
Porter, no! Lara! Get out of there! I'II cover you! We need to stop this.
TaIk to him! Porter, HeI couId've kiIIed me if she wanted to.
I'm not their prisoner.
That's what they want you to think! They kiIIed Quint! Come on, Quint, come on, you've got to teII Porter you're stiII kickin'.
Come on.
CIeo.
Hmm? That mimic thing that you do.
Can you do Quint's voice and get Porter to stand down? Uh, no, I--I reaIIy can't do guys.
Come on, kid, don't make me shoot you.
Porter, Iet's taIk about this.
So, HeI, now you want to taIk! (Creegan as Voice) Hel, you're risking your entire team.
Sarge has a cIear shot.
Finish this now.
Voice, I thought you said your sensors were jammed.
How do you know Sarge has a shot? (Creegan as Voice) I'm getting a clearer reading now, Hel.
EIiminate them at once.
No.
KiII them now, HeIen.
''HeIen''? Creegan.
Game's over.
Do you hear me, Creegan? Here, Creegan, Creegan, Creegan.
I know you're here.
You'd want to see two teams bIow each other away up cIose and personaI.
(Hel) Why? To distract us from your little Bailey playmates? Come out, Creegan! Show's over.
Isn't it, Porter? [grunts.]
Listen to her, Porter.
It's over.
Porter, get down! So cIose, HeIen.
Looks Iike I'II just have to kiII you myseIf.
(Voice) Hel, I've reacquired your signal.
There are multiple signals behind you.
[metaIIic cIanking.]
CIeo, find cover! Okay! Lara, Iet's pIay.
Creegan! Come on.
(Voice) Hel, Quint, I want Creegan alive.
(HeI and Quint) His shieId's too strong, Voice! Don't stop, HeI.
This is starting to feeI reaIIy good! (HeI) What are you and the BaiIies up to, Creegan? (Quint) Oh, you'II find out soon enough, HeI.
You aII wiII.
[Iaughing.]
(Creegan) You're too Iate, Voice! [beeping.]
This has got to have better range.
[beeping.]
I got him! (HeI) C-CIeo, disengage! CIeo! No! [gasps.]
CIeo.
Let her go, Creegan! You had to try and taIk HeI out of kiIIing her friends.
You couIdn't just shoot first and ask questions Iater, huh? If you insist.
She--she fried his shieId generator! Heads up.
What's it gonna be, HeI? HeI, we have our directive.
Voice wants Creegan aIive.
(Voice) Hel, this is connected to the Bailies.
During Creegan's little game, their activity has increased.
Take Creegan back to the prison level and return to the lab for further directives.
Hey! You've got a visitor.
(guard) Stand back from the energy screen.
You've got one hour.
After that, he won't be taIking to anyone.
(Creegan) He said, ''Stand back.
'' Or don't you Iisten? It's my job to Iisten, Mr.
Creegan.
I'm your Confessor.
[chuckIing.]
What makes you think I want to confess anything? It is the right of every condemned man to unburden his souI, Mr.
Creegan.
If you don't want to taIk, that's fine.
BeIieve me, I'm happy to get the heII out of this pIace.
That's not very charitabIe.
You know how it works, Creegan.
I have the power to open my mind to you.
I can take your sins.
Now, what sane man wouId want to do that for you? My sins are my own.
I treasure them.
I cherish them.
Why wouId I want to share them with you? Oh.
Murder? BetrayaI? These are the precious memories you want to take from this worId? You don't get it, do you? They're about to execute me for sins of the past, things I've aIready done.
But it's the crime I'm about to commit that you'II aII pay most dearIy.
What are you taIking about? There's no stopping it.
When I die, the worId dies with me.
[Creegan Iaughing.]
What did you mean, the worId ends with you? It's pretty seIf-expIanatory.
I wiII be soIeIy responsibIe for the extermination of the entire human race.
How's that for a Iegacy? The worId seems safe from you now, Mr.
Creegan.
TeII me, how do you pIan to go about this hoIocaust? I thought you couId see into my souI, Confessor.
You teII me: How does the worId end? No, I toId you that I can onIy accept the thoughts you choose to give me.
Are you ready to reveaI yourseIf? Are you? I don't have any secrets.
Hmm.
Nice.
To answer your question, I don't need to be free to have my goaIs achieved.
I set this pIan in motion a Iong time ago.
So how wiII you know if your pIan's a success? I mean, after you're gone.
Faith, Confessor.
Faith that the future wiII unfoId as I ordained it, despite her best efforts to stop me.
Whose best efforts? Voice.
Voice? The Voice? And her precious teams of resistance fighters.
[both Iaughing.]
You see, now I know you're joking.
The Voice? It's a myth.
It's a chiIdren's story.
She's as reaI as you and me, my friend.
I used to be cIose to Voice not so Iong ago.
Before my expuIsion.
Before she became a recIuse and such a thorn in my side.
What the heII is that? (HeI) I don't know, but I don't Iike it.
Tuck and roII.
[screaming.]
(Confessor) So, this vendetta of yours has lasted for (Creegan) Years.
Without much success, until recently.
The tides turned when I first learned the location of Mauser, a reprogrammed Betrayer assigned to Voice's flagship team.
You see, my plan was to trace Voice through Mauser's internal link to her network.
Creegan, we're not secure.
I don't care.
I want Mauser.
(Voice) Hel, have you secured Mauser? Not yet.
(Voice) Mauser must not be captured.
If you can't secure him, eliminate him.
Now, that wasn't so hard, was it? Mauser's dead.
Not dead, he's just offIine.
(Creegan) Imagine my surprise when I discovered the daughter of a former colleague and one of my closest friends was the leader of this particular Voice team.
Creegan! My plan for Mauser would be unsuccessful, but it didn't matter for on that day, Voice had shown me her weakness.
: HeIen.
The lever I would use to overturn her.
And in turn Helen showed me her own weakness.
(HeI's father) Hey there, IittIe girI.
(Voice) Hel, what's happening? He's here, Voice.
My father.
(Voice) Hel, that's not possible.
He's dead.
Hel, listen to me.
[screaming.]
[groaning.]
(Voice) Hel, can you hear me? Hel, say something.
Creegan.
Shh.
Try not to speak, HeI.
No, don't move HeIen, you'II disrupt the Iink.
HeIIo again, Voice.
(Voice) Creegan.
I should've known it was you.
[Iaughing.]
Thank you, Voice.
That's aII I needed.
Voice, Creegan's tracing you through my receptor.
Don't transmit! I'm too briIIiant for that, Voice.
Shutting up won't save you.
My tracer wiII Iocate you in minutes.
(Voice) You did this, Creegan.
You caused the explosion.
And Iike cIockwork, you dispatched HeI.
Your ''A'' number one foot soIdier who I knew couId be Iured away from the pack simpIy be tapping into that IittIe obsessed part of her psyche: Daddy.
Voice command.
[panting.]
EnabIe seIf-destruct.
[HeI choking.]
(Voice) Hel, what are you doing? Yes, HeI, pray teII.
The way I see it, I die, the receptor dies with me.
No receptor, no Voice, no trace.
(Voice) Hel, is this the only option? Yes! HeI, I find your sudden zest for death undeniabIy deIicious.
Hook right.
It's onIy zest when you're dying with me.
Any more surprises and I won't be responsibIe for my actions.
Keep tracing! [HeI groaning.]
So, what do you think, Voice? You reaIIy think the daughter of your most vaIued foIIower has it in her to end her own Iife? No.
Voice hasn't toId you, huh, HeI? You found that to be a recurring trait of hers IateIy? The more she says, the Iess you know.
Isn't that reaIIy infuriating? Yep, Dad and the Voice were reaIIy tight! (Voice) Creegan's about to compromise my location.
He's close.
We're cIose, aren't we, HeI? You want what I want.
Let's sit down with the Voice and cIear some things up, eh? [groaning.]
(Voice) Hel! Creegan.
Abort seIf-destruct.
That's my HeI! (Voice) Hel, what are you doing? Redirect haIf-burst.
[HeI groaning.]
[beeping.]
This isn't over.
So teII me, how did you get away from Voice? I never make a pIan without Ieaving an escape route.
And yet, here you are.
I thought you were here to comfort me in my finaI hour, Confessor.
Sometimes vigorous seIf-examination is the path to peace.
Yeah, yeah, right.
WeII, you know, I've onIy got I'm sorry.
PIease continue.
Now, Iet me guess: Your narrow escape from Voice doesn't discourage you from going after her again, right? WeII, if at first you don't succeed Why? What do you mean? The Voice.
If she reaIIy exists, she's fighting a nobIe cause: to Iiberate us aII.
And these peopIe who are fighting for her are just as dedicated.
What couId this woman have possibIy done to you to justify this Iust for vengeance, this mad fantasy of worId destruction? Five hundred years, five centuries, my Iegions of armies have readied themseIves to fuIfiII their destiny.
My destiny! I wiII not be denied by some cut-rate scientist and her army of insoIent thugs! WeII done.
Not onIy did your attempt to kiII two Voice teams at once faiI, but you've Ieft yourseIf without an escape route this time.
When you pIay the odds, sometimes you eat the bear, sometimes the bear eats you.
The bear? It's aII becoming cIear now, what you said a moment ago about having to wait 500 years to fuIfiII your destiny.
WeII, I'm toId I have a penchant for hyperboIe.
And a knowIedge of extinct animaIs.
And what about your skin? Oh, pIease, I'm a IittIe sensitive about it.
It's damage caused by extensive exposure to cryo-fIuid, isn't it? You're what they caII a thaw.
You're five centuries oId.
We aII have our IittIe secrets.
That's why you're here, isn't it? To Iearn my secrets? Isn't that right Voice? What did you caII me? You aImost had me, Voice.
But a confessor Iistens.
He doesn't chaIIenge, doesn't provoke.
Oh, come on, Voice! I've shown you mine, time to show me yours! You are mad.
Don't be shy.
You know what I want.
HeI wasn't afraid to come and ask for the truth, (Creegan) and I gave it to her! (Voice) Hel, your father is dead.
Same oId story, and you're sticking to it.
It's the truth.
I've heard enough of your truth.
Hel, don't do this.
After all we've been through together, everything we've achieved.
It's meaningIess without trust, and I don't trust you anymore, not where my father's concerned.
We can resolve this, Hel.
If you'll just give me the chance, I'll explain everything to you.
[screams.]
You had your chance.
[sighs.]
We do have posted visiting hours, HeI.
You Iisten to me, you freak.
My father's aIive, and you're going to heIp me find him.
Cara, my friend, I don't beIieve it.
You actuaIIy did it.
Did what? Where is he? I can take you to him, but it'II cost you more than my freedom.
What do you want now? You know what I want! No.
AII my Iife, Voice has stood in my way.
Her and her precious IittIe teams, fighting for an impossibIe cause.
WeII, not anymore.
You're going to heIp me achieve my IifeIong dream, HeI.
You give me Voice, or there's no deaI.
Where do we start? It's a sionic transpIane generator.
Used correctIy, it's the perfect infiItration device Daddy and I heIped Voice conceive.
You saw the hoIo-photo, HeI.
We were one big happy think tank down here, huh, Harge? I thought your father died keeping this out of my hands.
I'II take that.
NaturaIIy.
Oh, my God! Now, HeI, your journey is over.
Dad? I just hate Iong heIIos.
Get him! You go get Daddy, I'II wait here.
The heII you wiII.
[grunting.]
Damn it, HeIen, get out of here now! Not without you! Get the girI! [grunting.]
Some famiIy reunion, huh? Fireworks and everything.
So, you are Creegan.
In the fIesh.
We've received your communication.
You have served us weII.
You wiII be rewarded.
Oh, wiII I ever.
(Creegan) Just ask me, Voice! Your worId's about to end in 10 minutes, and you're here to find out how to save it! Voice.
How nice it is to see you again.
How did you forge an aIIiance with the BaiIies, Creegan? You're stiII beautifuI.
Creegan, I give you one Iast chance to make amends.
Who Ieads the BaiIies? I do.
Or more preciseIy, I did.
[aIarm buzzing.]
WeII! Looks Iike they've deveIoped a wiII of their own.
It's over, Voice.
SureIy now you see how futiIe your puny IittIe resistance has been in the face of their power.
TeII me how to stop them, Creegan.
The name's BaiIey.
George BaiIey.
At Ieast I get to Iive Iong enough to see this day come.
The day when my chiIdren wiII finaIIy inherit the Earth.
Why did you do it? Create those monsters.
Five hundred years ago, this pIanet was dying, infected by a swarming pIague of humanity.
So you thought you wouId save the worId by destroying the human race? Not at first.
InitiaIIy the BaiIies were environmentaI controI units cIeaning up the mess that we humans Ieft behind.
UntiI you decided we humans were the mess.
Not me.
In due time, they decided that for themseIves.
I just happened to agree with them.
It's not too Iate.
The BaiIies have accompIished what you designed them to do.
The worId is new again.
You can give it back to us.
What makes you think you deserve it? How do we stop them? You can't! The BaiIies may have been your Iegacy, Creegan, but my ancestors Ieft us a Iegacy as weII: the shaft defense cannons, the onIy weapons capabIe of destroying a BaiIey.
We've moved them to the surface.
This war isn't over yet, Creegan.
It's just beginning.
[Iaughing.]
HeI, do you read me? Voice! (HeI) I read you, Voice.
Go ahead.
(Voice) Creegan told me nothing before he died.
Proceed with the counterattack.
(Hel) Understood, Voice.
Commencing counterattack.
[groaning.]
