Warehouse 13 s03e11 Episode Script

Emily Lake; Stand

1 Previously on Warehouse 13 H.
G.
's not really here.
She's a hologram.
That thing is projecting her.
I drew my gun on Mrs.
Fredrick, and she fired me.
[Sighs.]
How can my mom be a Regent and not have told me? Collodi's Bracelet.
I think it fell into the hands of a young boy.
The bracelet gave him control of his own body, enabling him to walk.
But it would have planted a seed of darkness in his soul.
Claudia, now would be a good time to pinpoint that signal.
I'm trying, but whatever's transmitting from inside the warehouse has slowed the whole system to a crawl.
[Over radio.]
Pete, Myka.
Any sign of the intruder, yet? Letter 36-J? It's quiet.
Ditto, in Montgomery.
84-K.
Clean in the Farnsworth aisle.
The archive is safe.
[Over radio.]
Well, keep looking.
Someone or something is still transmitting.
[Sighs.]
[Over radio.]
Pete, you enter dark vault.
And Myka, you go to aisle-- Gotcha.
Sulaco, 84-C.
It's there.
Sulaco, 84-C.
That's right near the art gallery.
Let's go, Claudia.
Bring the scanner.
That's why the computers have been so glitchy lately.
We've got bugs.
To be specific, nanites.
Aw, man.
What are nanites? I don't know.
Tiny, self-replicating microscopic robots.
Mechanical fleas slash spies.
Could have hitched a ride on anything.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Not these.
These were planted on that Van Gogh that Sally Stukowski helped us retrieve.
That painting is now exactly one gram lighter.
That grab was a setup.
If she's working for that psychopath that tried to kill my mom-- Walter Sykes? They're downloading a massive amount of data and transmitting it.
To where? I can't tell yet.
I want those things out of my warehouse, now.
It could take me days to interface with their coding, Artie.
Then plan B.
When you got bugs, you zap 'em.
Okay, everybody, back up.
[Imitating Al Pacino.]
Say hello to my little friend.
Oh, crap.
Oh, no, no, no, no! Oh, what are you doing? Something wrong here, Tyler? Uh, no, Mr.
Sykes, I-- I think the warehouse found and shut down all the nanites.
Before you got what I needed? No, uh, I got it.
Um, you'll be happy.
Have you decrypted the data yet? I'm-I'm working on it, sir.
Finish it.
Then I'll be happy.
Yes, sir.
These nanites could be a fatal breach.
Do we have any idea what Sykes was after? I'm typing as fast as I can.
Okay, first, he rifled through some inventory.
Looking for the Collodi Bracelet, I'll bet.
Then he downloaded a file.
"Atlas-66.
" But it's majorly encrypted.
That file is for Regent use only.
Well, here's hoping.
What do you think? Sykes could have opened that file? Uh, I'm not even sure I could crack it.
Well, you don't have to.
Jane has access.
She can tell us what's in the file, and we can finally get ahead of Sykes.
That's not how we'll proceed.
But this could be our chance to shut Sykes down.
The Regents have a plan in place, Agent Bering.
So you're not gonna tell us what's in Atlas-66? Perhaps I haven't been clear.
We have a plan in place.
Well, perhaps I haven't been clear.
We need to know what's in that file.
Right, Pete? - Hmm? Uh, well-- Myka, if she says there's a plan in place, we need to respect that, right? I mean, she is wearing the Remati Shackle.
So, Warehouse protection is her call.
Thank you, Pete.
Now, excuse me.
I need to speak to Mr.
Kosan.
Excuse me, I need to tag some stuff in the motorbike aisle.
And with that, we all just left it alone, right? Of course.
Right.
[Door slams shut.]
Lattimer! What the hell is going on? Trust me, Myka.
Arguing with my mother will get you nowhere.
So you're just gonna lie down? Who are you? A guy who knew you'd follow me.
[Remote beeping.]
Old chum, welcome to the Pete Cave.
Sit down.
I got something to show you.
You're not gonna make me watch Porky's again, are you? No.
So, you're not just sitting back.
[Scoffs.]
Please.
Okay.
Now, these are the facts.
Walter Sykes, paralyzed as a child, gets his hands on the Collodi Bracelet, which allows him to walk again, but apparently, it turns him into like, the worst guy ever.
Right.
The Warehouse snags it.
Sykes wants it back.
He makes millions in hedge funds.
Then, ten years ago, he cashes out and apparently vanishes off the face of the Earth.
So he's been planning a run at the Warehouse for a long time? Right, but the minions he's hired to do his dirty work all have one thing in common.
They're dead.
Well, the obit says that Stukowski died of an undetected heart defect.
Yeah, right.
So, who's working for Walter Sykes, now? Everything okay? - Yeah.
- Stay close.
I'm going to need you two to collect something important.
We're ready.
Warehouse 13 3x11 Emily Lake You wanted to talk to me, Mr.
Sykes? Steve, you're still trying to decide if you can trust me? Well, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, right? Look, I just want my life back.
My old job, my reputation.
The Warehouse burned you.
It burned me, too.
You know, the Regents have a nasty habit of reaching out and destroying people's lives.
Believe me.
I've noticed.
So, if I help you get the Collodi Bracelet back, you can get me reinstated at the ATF? Yeah.
Or you can have a blank check and start a new life.
That's your call.
Tyler cracked the first part of the file.
We know where it is.
The only lead we have left is this man who I clocked in Atlanta.
It's just the face in a car.
It's not much to go on.
Okay.
So, we profile, right? I mean, what kind of person goes to work for a man like Walter Sykes? A guy like Tyler Struhl.
Hey, did you follow us here? No, I've known about the Pete Cave forever.
Who do you think keeps it stocked with cream soda? Really? That was you? Wait, who's Tyler Struhl? The hacker slash perv who was killing women with the Golem Necklace.
Hacker codes are like a signature, and Tyler's all over the nanites.
Could he hack into the Regent file? If I can, he can.
I mean, I haven't been able to open the whole thing, but I did dig out an address.
Lincoln High School, Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Well, Cheyenne is only like, two hours from here.
We should check it out.
Against Jane's orders? What's she gonna do? Ground me? Anyway, I'm not going to sit around here and wait for the next bad thing to happen.
I agree with Pete.
I'll run interference.
Go.
Go now while she's still with Kosan.
This is a dangerous game.
We must bring the rest of Regents in on your plan.
No.
Sykes has already tortured and killed Regents to get information.
The less they all know, the better.
This is a great burden for you to bear alone.
Perhaps we should simply eliminate Walter Sykes now and-- Evan We all agreed that we needed to know his endgame.
Without that knowledge, even with Sykes gone, the Warehouse is still vulnerable.
There's more that's troubling you.
My son is on the frontline of this war.
If I'm wrong I could lose a lot more than the Warehouse.
I'm going to take upstairs.
You take down.
[Bell rings.]
Hey, Myks.
You got anything? I think I found what Sykes was looking for.
You found the artifact? Not quite.
H.
G.
Wells is--is here? What-she--she broke out of Regent jail to come here? I wanna go talk to her.
Ah, Myka, no.
You-you know how lethal she is.
We don't know what she's up to.
Just wait there for me.
[Bell rings.]
Helena.
Hello.
Are you looking for somebody? Do the Regents know you're here? Um-- I'm sorry, you must be lost.
The main office is straight down the hall.
Look, we don't have time for games.
Some very dangerous people know that you're here.
Um, okay, uh-- there must be some mistake here.
Uh, let's just school security and then-- - Freeze! - Ah! Now that's new.
Why'd you come in here, all guns a-blazing? It's an escaped H.
G.
Wells, Myks.
What if she was having one of her let's-end-the-world days? No, something's wrong, okay? She's acting like she doesn't even know who I am.
Well, at least we know what Sykes is after.
But what he wants with lady cuckoo? Hello.
Hi.
Who are you people? What do you want from me? We're United States Secret Service.
We may be dealing with a case of identity theft.
We just need to see your driver's license.
It's in my purse.
Careful, Myka.
Well, it could be booby trapped.
[Laughs.]
[Clears throat.]
Pete, look at this.
Who the heck is Emily Lake? I don't suppose we could put a doggy door in the umbilicus? [Laughs.]
Doggy door.
You're silly.
Whatcha doing? Ah, you know.
Updating the firewalls, reviewing inventory, blah bitty blah.
The ushe.
[Sighs.]
Fine.
Okay.
You got me.
I'm playing fruit combat.
Until Jane tells us the plan, I am bored, so-- All right.
I'm going to my room.
Trailer.
Busted.
[Gasps.]
Did you just Mrs.
Frederic'd me? Tell me that that is not the Regents' encrypted Atlas file, and that you are not doing the one thing that you were explicitly told not to do.
That would be lying and if there's one thing I'll never do-- Where are Pete and Myka? I still don't know why the Secret Service has to see my apartment, but here it is.
I-I'm not this Helena, whoever that is.
Look, it's not--it's not that we don't believe you.
It's just we want to understand what's going on.
[Silverware clattering.]
There's something in the kitchen.
Oh, Dickens.
- [Cat meowing.]
- Mommy's home.
H.
G.
Wells is a Cat lady? Yeah, good boy.
Hello.
Dickens is hungry.
And scared.
- Just like his mommy.
- Oh.
I'm gonna feed him.
Shoot me if you have to.
Myka, we don't have time for this, okay? Sykes could be on his way here right now.
Bills, magazines-- they're all addressed to Emily Lake.
Okay, so she fooled the post office.
It's not that hard to do.
Myka, don't buy this.
She is a lunatic killer, and she's just-- she's hiding it somehow.
Pete Oh, my God.
Look at this.
There's no reflection in the mirror.
She wasn't really there.
These--these are all fakes.
Somebody must have created a-a new identity for her.
Who does that sound like to you? The Regents? Some sort of Witness Protection program? We got this info from the Atlas file.
Atlas-66.
That's--that's it.
H.
G.
Wells was born in Atlas House in 1866.
I can't believe that I missed that.
Yeah, sloppy.
We gotta get her somewhere safe before Sykes finds her.
Let me go.
I've-I've got a knife.
All right.
Let's not do that, okay? [Screams.]
Do you see? H.
G.
knows Kempo.
If she wanted to hurt you, you'd be lying in a pool of your own blood right now.
I-I-I don't want to hurt anyone.
I just-- Wait.
What is it? I got a vibe.
A bad one.
[Door creaks.]
[Door closes.]
Aw.
You just missed her.
Where is she? What does Sykes want with H.
G.
? Time machine, Minoan Trident? Or just another homicidal maniac to add to his roster? He was right.
You are a talker.
Who was right? [Screams.]
[Groans.]
[Cat screeches.]
[Grunting.]
Hey.
You guys okay? Pete.
Steve, what-- He took my Tesla.
You're working for Sykes? Where's Marcus? Marcus? Oh, oh.
Is that--is that your new partner? The guy who just tried to kill me? [Scoffs.]
I've got some bad news for you, pal.
[Door slams open.]
[Sighs.]
What the hell? Is that H.
G.
? Yes.
Then we're done.
[Zapping.]
[Screams.]
No! [Groans.]
Farnsworth.
You are both in big trouble.
You don't know the half of it.
We lost her, Artie.
W-wait.
Lost who? Emily Lake.
You two found Emily Lake? Where is she? Sykes has her.
Damn it! This is why you follow orders! Look, Sykes would have gotten her either way, and we wouldn't have known about it.
We know who's working for him, Artie.
A guy by the name of Marcus who just walked away from a five-story fall.
What? And someone else.
Someone we know.
No.
No way, that's-- Artie, that's not even possible.
Steve would never turn on us.
We're his friends.
He's-he's--must be being controlled or blackmailed, or maybe there's an arti-- Claudia, Claudia.
He Tesla'd Pete and Myka.
He kidnapped H.
G.
No one was forcing him to do those things.
Then this is the Regents' fault.
They burned him.
They gave him no choice.
Everyone has a choice.
And as I've discovered, people often make the wrong one.
Please.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I've never even heard of any Warehouse 13.
You are H.
G.
Wells.
That's insane.
My name is Emily Lake.
Emily Hannah Lake! I grew up in Omaha-- [screams.]
You're lying.
She's telling the truth.
You're absolutely certain? You know I can tell, and she's not lying.
Or at least she believes what she's saying is true.
Well, I got a gift too, Steve.
Getting people to tell me things.
Cecil B.
Demille's riding crop.
It won't work.
It lets you bend people's actions to your will.
But you can't control their minds.
You've collected quite a few artifacts.
Yeah, enough to even up the odds.
I'm inclined to trust your gift, Steve.
I mean, after all, that is why we sought you out.
So we'll leave Ms.
Lake alone, and give Tyler enough time to crack the rest of that file.
Hopefully, the answers are inside.
For her sake.
What exactly did you do to H.
G.
? Myka, it was the most humane option.
After the near-catastrophe at Yosemite, well, the Regents had to do something.
The punishment was unusual, but it wasn't cruel.
We searched for something that would give H.
G.
a chance at a normal life while still allowing us to use her as a resource.
Claudia, I assume you cracked the rest of Atlas-66.
Yup.
A Janus coin.
Two heads.
It facilitates the separation of a person's consciousness from their body.
Like the Zoetrope did to Hugo.
The Zoetrope is a machete.
The Janus coin is a finely honed scalpel.
Artie, show them the video.
It will make it clear.
So How exactly will this work? In Roman mythology, Janus is the God of transitions.
There's two heads, looking opposite directions.
Forward and back.
My past life and my future life.
Yes.
And the coin will separate the two.
So, I'll lose all knowledge of the Warehouse.
Yes.
And everyone I've ever known? Yes.
[Sighs.]
One request.
May I keep my love of literature? That can be arranged.
We'll start with your earliest memories.
Mother and father.
That's right.
Move through your childhood.
Your young adulthood.
Your first day at Warehouse 12.
Tell me what you're thinking.
I met an old man.
He was my teacher.
His name was Caturanga.
Tell me his name again.
I-- I don't remember.
Good.
Think about your inventions, your experiments, your writings.
Picture Kempo and weaponry.
People Friends, family, lovers.
Let the images come to you.
Conjure them.
Your whole life in England, let it go.
You're American now.
[Gasps.]
Who are you? I'm Mr.
Kosan.
You had a terrible accident.
And you lost your memory.
But I'm going to help you get it back.
Thank you.
They sent her to Wyoming, gave her a place to live, a cat, photos of the past that never existed, and we gave her a job.
School teacher.
Like you.
As for the rest, well, the human mind is pretty inventive.
Given enough time and stimulation, it fills in the gaps all by itself.
So if H.
G.
's memory's been wiped, then who's the hologram we've been talking to the last few months? Not wiped.
Stored.
On the Janus coin.
Which, according to the file, is kept in a Regent vault in Elk Ridge, South Dakota.
Sykes is going to send Marcus and Steve for the coin.
Look, I know that the Regents have a plan, but we can't risk Sykes getting a hold of that coin.
If he already has Emily Lake, if he tries to put H.
G.
back together You're both right.
You and Myka need to retrieve that coin, and bring it back here.
Mr.
Sykes! Mr.
Sykes! I got it.
I found what you're looking for.
And the best part is it's not even in the Warehouse.
So, how do we get into this vault? Mom said all we'd need is this fancy key and this list of stuff to buy.
This is the Regent vault? Of course it is.
Hidden in plain sight.
That's what they do.
You got our list? Alfred, let's go shopping.
[Scanner beeping.]
That's weird.
Not when you get to know us.
I gotta get my manager.
Okay.
Fruits, grain, meats, alcohol, honey.
These are all items that the ancient Egyptians used to leave for their Kings in the burial tombs-- Which were also known as vaults.
Right.
Man, the Regents really love the Egyptian stuff, huh? It's like a fetish.
Wow, definitely in the right grocery store.
Come with me.
[Keypad tone.]
The key.
Oh.
He's not very chatty, is he? No, he's not.
I'll be in the stock room.
Okay, so, here's the sphere.
Where's the Janus coin? I remember seeing a slot.
Ah-ha.
See? I always loved piggy banks.
- What? - Let me see.
So, then if a coin is like the hard disk, then to reboot, I just slide it back in.
Oh, hello.
What's this? Uh, another mission? Lady, we've got a lot to tell you.
Living with a cat in Wyoming? Also, you have an American accent and a really girly scream.
So, my body's out there teaching high school English? And your students love you.
But a cat? Dickens is solid.
Saved my bacon.
Yes, I don't know what that means, but what does this Mr.
Sykes want from me? We were kinda hoping you could tell us.
Uh--I'm afraid I have absolutely no idea.
Get her here as fast as you can, and keep your eyes open.
And be careful.
Stick to the back roads.
The back roads? Driving from Elk Ridge to Univille? Good point.
Stay alert.
[Sighs.]
I don't have a good feeling about all this.
I'm not used to military maneuvers.
I'm an elementary school teacher.
Elementary school teacher to Regent.
Strange trajectory.
Not at all.
Each Regent is selected for his or her area of expertise.
Each brings a unique perspective.
I was chosen for my insight into children.
Jane What's the downside to the Collodi Bracelet? If the user wears it for too long, it plants a seed of darkness in the soul and creates an insatiable longing.
And at the same time, this longing hardens the heart.
The wearer cannot give or receive love.
Is it possible, all those years ago, we didn't get to the boy in time? Hey, Myka.
I, uh--I have a thought.
About a way to protect the Warehouse, but-- But what? You might not like it.
Well, if it protects the Warehouse, I like it already.
What is it? Whoa, where are we going? Off road.
We have to destroy the Janus coin.
What? I know you're gonna think this is personal-- How could I not? You're--you're talking about killing a human being.
No, I'm talking about destroying the thing that Sykes is after.
We can stop it, right here.
Right now.
She has one of the greatest minds in history! It's--it would be like burning down a library w-with a friend trapped inside.
I know.
But we're at war, and unfortunately, wars have casualties.
No.
Okay, so you're willing to live with the possibility that Sykes might get what he wants.
H.
G.
would never help him.
Myka, the man has proven he can get information from anyone.
Even Steve's working for him.
No, he's not.
I know he's not.
Okay, just hold up.
Both of you.
We have to deal with reality.
Wait, Claudia.
Claudia! Like, I'm just thinking of the greater good.
As long as that coin exists, it can be used against the Warehouse.
The answer is still no.
We cannot--I will not destroy H.
G.
Wells.
May I offer an opinion? I figured she should be part of this discussion.
There is no discussion.
Agreed.
If you truly want to protect the Warehouse, you must destroy the coin.
Destroy the coin, and whatever Sykes wants from me will be lost with it.
Wait.
You'd be gone, you'd-- you'd be dead.
The price is too high.
What about Emily Lake? If Sykes thinks he can put her back together, she's in a lot of danger.
Destroy me, and she'll be of no value to him.
Myka, you say she's a teacher and her students love her.
Then, let me live on through her.
We could rescue Emily Lake.
I can promise you that.
I have every confidence that you will.
Myka, we have to think rationally, not emotionally.
And quickly.
Before I remember that I'm not this noble.
It's the right thing to do, Myka.
You know that, don't you? Pete, um--I think you'll have to be the one to--- I know.
I will.
And Thanks for everything, Helena.
[Sighs.]
I regret I won't be here to see you reach your destiny.
It will surely be a glorious one.
I don't know about that.
Then, you're the only one.
How do you say goodbye to the one person who knows you better than anyone else? I wish I knew.
Be brave.
I need your strength.
The last thing I want to see is the sky.
Pete.
I can't watch this.
Me neither.
[Sighs.]
Forgive me for this.
Why can't I move? Because I'm controlling your body now.
I'll get the coin.
Not one move! [Gun cocks.]
Myka, he has an artifact.
How'd you find us? Traced the signal on Claudia's cell.
You're a traitor.
Traitor.
Stop or Marcus is dead! Yeah, well, Marcus doesn't usually stay dead for long.
Then I'll shoot you, Steve.
I don't think that you will.
Just in case No! [Groans.]
Myka! Claudia! Give me the coin.
You know what? I got a better idea.
How about you fill in the blanks? Tell me how we went from being partners and friends to you pointing a gun at me? How could you work for Sykes? There are things that you don't know.
About the Regents, about Jane.
Now, give me the coin.
I know this.
You want this coin? You're going to have to shoot me.
[Gunshots.]
Claudia! Claudia! I don't care what I have to do.
You're dead, man.
You're dead! You're very perceptive.
Hey, where's Claudia? Where is she? Do you have the coin? Let's go.
Now, you can help Claudia and Myka, or you can follow us.
That's your choice.
- You selfish-- - Pete! If you're gonna help Claudia, you have to hurry up.
[Screams.]
- Claudia! - Claude? Are you all right? Yeah, I'm fine.
Both: Claudia! Claudia! Claude! Please keep it down.
- Why didn't you answer us? - Is Steve gone? He told me to wait until he was gone.
Wait--wait for what? Claudia, what's going on? And how did he get the coin? I gave it to him.
What? He told me your mom's plan.
You want this coin? You're gonna have to shoot me.
[Muffled screams.]
Listen, Claudia.
Listen to me.
I am undercover.
The whole thing has been a setup.
Mrs.
F fired me in Atlanta, Jane and the Regents burning me-- my mission is to gain Sykes' trust, so I can learn what he's planning.
Now can you calm down, now? Yeah? But you Tesla'd Pete and Myka.
Better than letting Marcus shoot them.
I wish That you could look in my eyes and see that I'm not lying.
I'm still on your side, Claude.
I always have been.
I am so sorry that I didn't tell you the truth, but it was the safest way.
Whatever Sykes is planning is bad for everyone in the Warehouse.
I've never seen anyone so filled with hate.
Then, get out of there.
Why are you taking this huge risk, getting chummy with those psychos? Because I couldn't save my sister.
But I can protect you.
[Sighs.]
Show this to Pete and Myka.
It's where he is.
And don't make a sound till you know I'm gone.
Cover your ears.
So brave.
[Gunshots.]
[Sighs.]
That's why Jane couldn't tell us.
Steve is the plan.
It all rests on him.
He volunteered.
He had a lot of experience going undercover at ATF.
And he'd been here the briefest.
It would seem more plausible that he would turn than anyone else.
Why did he help Sykes find Emily Lake and H.
G.
? Without him, it wouldn't have happened.
His orders were to embed himself.
Learn what Sykes' plan is.
And even assist him when needed.
When Sykes enters his end game, Agent Jinks will get us a message.
Oh, we got the message.
Skybrook Three.
It's a decommissioned airport in Featherhead.
It must be hanger three.
That son of a bitch was under our noses the whole time.
We're on our way there now.
Pete, be careful.
I-- I love you, too, Mom.
Let's see if this really works, huh? W-what are you doing? What is that? The end of Emily Lake? No.
Now, just remember.
Just relax and remember.
H.
G.
Wells? It would appear you got to the coin before Pete could destroy it.
You must be Mr.
Sykes.
It's a pleasure to finally meet you.
Um-- the plane's ready if you wanna go.
Steve, I want you to know none of this would have been possible without your help, buddy.
Damn it, they're gone.
Too late.
Pete? What is it? What's wrong? Nothing.
They're gone.
Let's get back to the car.
What's wrong? Claudia, I said get back to the car! Pete? What is it? Please get back to the car.
Pete No! Claudia! Claudia! Warehouse 13 3x12 Stand Hey.
I, uh, I told Artie.
So the Regents are going to send someone to get-- for Steve.
Pete? [Sighs.]
How could this happen? It's-- Claudia? Listen to me.
We need you to hack into that laptop, okay? There could be something there that-- Claude, listen to me.
We need to find Sykes, right? We need to find him and we need to stop him.
Claudia? Myka.
Yeah? Steve is dead.
How can you just be business as usual? Because if I don't, I will lose it.
So you need to help me.
I'll stay with him.
[Typing on keyboard.]
They ran a fat man on the memory.
What's a fat man? Fat man and little boy.
It's a deletion program.
It's a hacker nuclear bomb.
This hard drive is a crater.
This was for nothing.
Sykes needed H.
G.
for something.
We need to find him.
[Whispers.]
Oh, we're gonna find him.
And when we find him We're gonna get payback.
[Chuckles.]
You're not too talkative, Ms.
Wells.
Penny for your thoughts? You killed that young man in cold blood.
Really? What temperature was your blood when you killed? 'Cause you got a bigger body count than I do.
And I'm seriously considering adding one more to that list.
Go ahead.
[Scoffs.]
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Go on.
[Groans.]
Kill me.
Cecil B.
Demille's riding crop.
Look at that.
Lets my mind control your body.
It's pretty damn cool, don't you think? [Groans.]
What do you want from me? Some advice.
I'd strongly recommend a good psychologist.
[Chuckles.]
Advice on what? Opening a certain lock.
According to this, you got an old friend who taught you how to do it, right? Something named Caturanga.
Ms.
Wells? What do you smell? Ms.
Wells? What do you smell? Apples? Yes.
You do.
Most people do not smell the apples.
The Warehouse likes you.
Buildings do not have personal affinities, sir.
This is not, as you will discover, just a building, Miss Wells.
Welcome to Warehouse 12.
I am Caturanga.
And you're in charge here? [Laughs.]
Oh, no! My job is to teach and to solve puzzles, we shall say.
What kind of puzzles? Many sorts, and to design them, too.
Sometimes to house a dangerous artifact, like that one.
Uh-uh-ah.
Sometimes, to brew the perfect cup of tea.
This is England, so a good cup of tea is not hard to find.
Yes, but The perfect cup of tea-- that's a puzzle.
[Laughs.]
I've read some of your stories.
You are very gifted.
I thought my imagination knew no boundary, but to stand here, amidst this wonderment-- [laughs.]
There's always more to learn.
I will teach you.
[Laughs.]
I'll die before I help you.
Oh, you'll help me.
Whether you live or die is entirely up to you.
It doesn't get easier, does it? To lose a fellow Agent.
I've lost fellow agents partners, friends, Steve he was my responsibility.
You might have told me that he was undercover.
Are you angry? Does it matter? There's always a cost.
What is Sykes planning? And how are we going to stop him? The Regents are assembling to regroup.
I'll keep you posted.
The Warehouse has always endured, Arthur.
Remember this watch? Used to argue over it.
I think you should have it.
Good luck, old friend.
I imagine you're going to need it.
[Door slams shut.]
You guys all right? We are On the other side of the world from all right.
How did they do it? An injection.
They made it look like a heart attack.
Found this stuff on him.
I didn't even know the guy smoked.
He didn't.
His father was a chain smoker.
Steve hated smoking.
That's my boy.
What is that? Steve doing his job.
Hey, guys.
Bad news is if you're watching this, I'm probably screwed.
So, I'll keep it short.
Still nothing on Sykes' end game.
He plays it pretty close to the vest.
But I can tell you that he's made travel arrangements to Hong Kong.
I don't know why.
But it's definitely not a pleasure trip.
There's one other thing.
Sykes' number two-- Marcus Diamond-- the guy who doesn't die, something's strange about him.
He gets this look when Sykes brings out this wooden box.
It's probably an artifact.
Artie, you should check it out.
Agent Steve Jinks signing off.
Good luck, you guys.
Claude.
Keep the faith.
Good work, Jinxy.
Indeed.
Agent Jinks may have given us the final piece to the puzzle.
Why? What's in Hong Kong? Something we thought was gone and buried forever.
Walter Sykes may have uncovered the ancient Regent Sanctum.
If the Regent Sanctum was constructed during the era of Warehouse 7, it predates H.
G.
by centuries.
What does Sykes want with her? No idea.
All knowledge of the sanctum was purged from warehouse records when it was finally shut down for good.
That was over 100 years ago.
And if it was just a meeting place, why would he even care about it? I got it.
Three tickets to Hong Kong.
Purchased from Tyler's IP address.
Three? Sykes, Tyler, Marcus, H.
G.
? Somebody did not make that trip.
They're gonna get there before us.
And he has an advantage.
He knows where it is, and we don't.
I found this in the Escher Vault.
It was worn by the Regents of Warehouse 7.
Claudia? See if you can get us the history on this thing.
Wait.
That's the Chinese symbol for Aperture.
Aperture could be a facility that manufactures cameras? Or a location that acts as an aperture.
Somewhere, light hits a certain way.
Oh, how very Indiana Jones.
The roads.
The--the--the roads in-- [whispering.]
Roads, I remember-- there's something-- See, the roads kind of-- see that? They connect In almost forms a-- Might see the-- You two know you haven't actually finished a sentence yet, right? Well, the same symbol that--that means aperture can also mean eye.
As in The eye of Horus.
Now, look, this is Hong Kong circa1600.
These roads--the roads today, are all based on these roads.
And--take a look at this.
Look.
The roads form an Eye of Horus.
Iris of the eye.
It's a city.
Tai Po.
Good a place to start as any.
We'll, uh, we'll check in when we get there.
Claudia I think it'd be a good idea-- Excuse me.
Claudia? You have every right to be angry.
Agents Jinks was a good man.
And what happened was a tragedy.
And? And what? And I'm really sorry I sent him to his death? Steve died alone.
Cut off from everybody who had his back.
And for what? Why? Agent Jinks did not want to put any of you at risk.
He volunteered for-- To take down Walter Sykes for the good of the world.
But let's face it, Jane.
This was never about the good of the world, was it? This was about your guilt.
You made Walter Sykes.
No, Claudia.
I tried to prevent Walter Sykes from being made.
If we had gotten to the artifact in time-- But you didn't and he became a psychopathic killer.
And now all you care about is fixing your mistake, no matter who gets hurt or killed along the way.
That's not true! It's just not-- [sighs.]
You're upset.
This is not the time to discuss whether Agent Jinks was-- Steve! His name was Steve.
You know, I see you and the Regents for what you really are.
Cowards.
Steve was worth a thousand of you.
This is exactly where the eye would be, but maybe it's just a restaurant.
Then why did I get a vibe that almost knocked me over? I'm here in a Chinese restaurant, Myks.
And I'm not hungry.
I know there's something here.
We--we are at the dead center of the city, and-- What? What is it? If the sanctum was built that long ago What if the restaurant isn't the sanctum? What if it's on top of the sanctum? [Sighs.]
Well, I would say that we're in the right place.
What do you got? Well, I doubt H.
G.
and a stock boy wear the same locket.
[Faint thud.]
Somebody there? [Gasps.]
Nothing.
I don't know.
Maybe they realized it was the wrong place and left.
[Sighs.]
But why do I still have a vibe? Because H.
G.
left that locket as a clue.
I know it.
Pete? Yeah? Look at this.
It looks like something swept across the floor.
What is it? A--like a-- a door, or Opening? Maybe we can-- the Eye of Horus.
I believe the phrase is aha.
Please, Mr.
Sykes, don't make me do this.
Tyler, make the move the lady suggested.
Now.
This is lunacy.
It's not a move.
It's a guess.
I don't care.
We don't know if we don't play.
Now move that piece.
The first two were wrong.
The third could-- Enough! Tyler, what are you waiting for? Look at those skulls.
They're all cracked in half.
Yeah, I think I see why.
Please, Mr.
Sykes.
Don't make him do it.
Tyler, you got to be in it to win it.
Now.
Good lad.
Checkmate.
No! [Gasps.]
First show's over.
Lattimer and Bering? Come on down! [Gunshot.]
Myka, are you all right? I didn't do that.
No, I'm--I'm fine.
Myka, that's only because I control where she shot.
Next time, her aim is going to be a lot better.
Okay? Let's go, guys.
Guns on the floor, please? Or the next shot is going to be right between Ms.
Bering's beautiful eyes.
You son of a-- [gunshot.]
Stop it! I don't understand.
Why is there a torture device in the Regent Sanctum? It's not a torture device, honey.
It's a lock.
It was invented by a man named Caturanga.
He was rather the Claudia of Warehouse 12 and my teacher.
That's why you needed Helena to open it.
She's the only living person who knew this Caturanga.
See, the pieces are set so the player's in check.
You win the game, and the lock opens.
You lose the game, and your skull opens.
When the Regents shut down the Sanctum a century ago, Caturanga designed the lock.
Now, the secret to opening it is not in the journals.
But he writes a lot about Ms.
Wells, here.
She's his favorite student.
I think she knows about it.
Caturanga taught me a thousand things, but I have never seen the chess lock before.
I don't know how to open it.
I know, and you clearly demonstrated with young Tyler, here.
You did that.
I tried to stop you! I swear it.
You know what? Maybe I used the wrong incentive.
No! [Screams.]
Myka! Myka! [Grunting.]
Now that there's somebody in the chair you care about, maybe your memory will come back.
What is that? A gift from a former employer.
What do you want from me? I'm just an innkeeper.
Oh, we both know you're more than that, don't we? If you think that I'm gonna help you break into the warehouse, you're in for a surprise.
No.
No, you see, it's you people who are gonna be surprised.
[Beeping.]
[Alarm blaring.]
What is that? Something's wrong at Leena's.
Pull up the security feed.
Way ahead of you.
[Screams.]
It's him.
Leena.
Ah! All right, all right.
If we unlock this thing, what are we going to find? You'll see.
Have you considered that we might be unlocking an artifact deemed too dangerous to be kept in Warehouse 7? She's right, you know.
The Regents must have had a reason to keep people out.
Don't tell me about the Regents or the reasons, okay? You have one choice.
Open the lock, or she's gonna die.
Now, how do we beat it? This was Caturanga's passion.
We played every day for years.
You beat him all the time? Not once.
[Sighs.]
Oh, great.
All right.
Time to make a move.
With Tyler, I--I chose the King's gambit.
Caturanga would have expected that.
Perhaps-- yes, perhaps the--the Dragon's variant.
Myka, King's Knight to E-6.
Check.
You're distracting the player, Pete.
Queen's Bishop to h-4.
Check.
[Gasps.]
I don't know what else to do! Helena.
Continuing.
Sorry, Myka.
Helena, listen to me.
I am not going to die here today, okay? Because you are going to take a breath, and you're gonna save my life.
This isn't what I signed up for.
These Regents of yours are gravely mistaken if they think I shall be carrying around this.
The Webley Mark One .
450 caliber, standard issue of the Royal Navy and police constabularies.
A fine weapon.
Guns have no place in a civilized society, sir.
Now, the Regents set the rules, and their rules states all warehouse agents must carry a firearm.
But there is always an alternative to killing.
I agree.
That is not standard issue.
I changed the rules.
Wells, time for target practice.
[Gun zapping.]
Is he dead? No, no.
Agent McShane is merely stunned.
When the rules do not agree with one, it is sometimes necessary to change them.
Change the rules.
What? Change the rules.
Myka, D-3 to E-8.
Helena, I-I-- I can't move my pawn like that.
I know.
Change the rules.
Checkmate.
Whatever it is, I think it's about to open.
[Sighs.]
Do it.
Artie, what's that? Black Barty's Cannon.
Black Barty? Black Barty was one of the most successful pirate captains of the golden age.
And his cannon from his ship was rumored to have artifact-augmented firepower.
Are you telling me that Walter Sykes' plan is to fire a cannonball at the Warehouse? A cannonball wouldn't worry me, but a cannonball from that cannon? I'm approaching worry.
I'm not.
What the hell's happening? [Thunder clapping.]
[Groans.]
What just happened? The Remati Shackle sensed an attack and activated a protective barrier around the Warehouse.
We're safe.
I gotta get to Leena's.
Once the shackle is activated, I'm afraid no one can get in or out.
Claudia! I want you to-- Artie, I have a bad feeling.
I have a bad vibe.
But you said that nothing could get in once the barrier was up.
True, but it can't stop something that's already inside.
The Regents wanted to know our vulnerability.
I think we just found it.
Amazing.
The warehouse.
[Grunts.]
You guys! Run! [Gun zapping.]
Bastard.
No! No.
They must have shut it down from the other side.
I hope you don't mind.
I let myself in.
Initiating the barrier automatically triggered the emergency exit portal-- To the ancient sanctum.
When the Regents abandoned the portal, they locked it up, but it wasn't enough just to trigger on one side.
You had to unlock the Hong Kong side as well.
Which is why you needed H.
G.
You'd have been proud of her.
She only killed one guy doing it.
Peter, are you hurt? No.
A little tired of this guy, though.
You'll never get what you want.
Difference of opinion, Jane.
See, I think I'm gonna get exactly what I want.
Artie, no! [Grunting.]
Oh! Artie! That'll be your only warning.
Play nice.
Artie, I'm sorry.
It's his crop.
It's got wicked mojo.
Are you okay? I've been better.
Why don't you just kill us? I'm going to.
But we're going to go find the Collodi Bracelet, first.
And this time, Jane, you're going to watch your son hand it to me.
There's gotta be another way to open this.
I just-- I have to think.
Myka, I'm sorry.
About what? You should have destroyed the Janus coin the moment you found it.
Then I wouldn't have caused all of this.
I wish that you would stop doing that.
Doing what? You're not the bad guy, okay? I believed in you, and I was right.
So get off your--your cross, and help me figure this out.
Righty-ho, then.
Old times, Wells and Bering, solving puzzles, saving the day.
Bering and Wells.
There are consequences to using the Collodi Bracelet.
There were consequences to not using it.
It's a part of me.
I close my eyes, and I can see it.
Without it, there's a hole in my soul.
That's what it does to you.
It's not real.
It's not a real need.
It is real to me! [Groans.]
Oh, no.
Or did you not know that, Jane? Wearing the bracelet creates a insatiable longing-- It hardens your heart.
It darkens your soul.
And if we let you keep the bracelet, you never would have been able to love, or be loved.
If you did everything right, then why are we here? We didn't get to you soon enough.
The seeds of darkness had already taken root.
You've killed a lot of people, Walter.
But I take responsibility for that.
Oh, that's big of you, Jane.
It's not too late.
We could still try to save you.
Mom, please.
I don't think you're going to hurt me.
I think you understand what I'm saying.
I think you know there's been enough damage done.
I think you're ready to stop this.
But, Jane, then you'd have solace.
I want you to feel the guilt and the pain.
Like I have.
You should have opted for the opportunity I just gave you.
I will take the risk.
And the bracelet.
Pete? [Communicator beeps.]
Marcus.
I have it.
Go ahead.
You'll never win.
Pete and Myka and the others-- they'll fight back.
Possibly.
[Gasps.]
But you would have had a heart attack by then.
Put that syringe down, Mr.
Diamond.
I'm impressed.
Imagine my delight.
Drop it, please.
It's about time.
I didn't think you'd let me kill her.
And I knew you'd wait for me.
You never should have come.
I made you a promise a long time ago.
I honor my commitments.
This is Marcus Diamond, former Baltimore City Detective.
Shot in the line of duty.
Three times.
Dead center.
And you lived? Bullets are still in his heart.
If you know that much about me, you know that metal won't kill me.
Yes.
But it will cause you unending pain.
You have no idea what's about to happen.
Oh, but I do.
Finally.
Right where it belongs.
You got what you wanted.
Get out.
No, this is just step one.
Before you die, I want you to know what it feels like when something you love is ripped away from you.
[Grunts.]
No, please.
I'm responsible.
Kill me.
[Gun zapping.]
Myka, thank God! Come on! [Coughs.]
You guys, circle around.
Don't let him in the portal.
Myka! H.
G.
! Rigging rope from the Mary Celeste.
Hang on.
No, Myka, don't-- - [screams.]
Touch the rope? I imagine it's the rest of that sentence.
[Groaning.]
If you pull at it, it only gets tighter.
Oh, that's good to know.
Will you ever learn not to play with these things? [Coughs.]
Let's go.
[Gasps.]
[Laughs.]
Hey You're too young to have seen the Frazier Ali fight, right? What? They never saw his right uppercut coming.
You know I think we're beyond needing to make your death look like an accident.
No! [Groaning.]
Claudia, what is that? No.
This is Johann Maelzel's metronome.
Sykes uses it to keep Marcus alive.
That was for Steve.
Thank God, Myka left it open.
Get away from her! Walk into this! Walter! Walter, take my hand.
[Alarm blaring.]
Mom.
Are you-- are you okay? Yes.
You? Yeah.
Walter Sykes has left the building.
The portal's kaput.
And you're gonna need to fly back.
All right, so, get home safe, okay? And, um, Mom.
I love you.
I love you, too, honey.
Pete! What happened? Where are they? What took you guys so long? Just lazy, I guess.
Sykes? - Dead.
- Is Jane all right? Well, she's got a 15-hour plane ride ahead of her, but, yeah, she's okay.
[Sighs.]
Thank you.
Anytime.
[Farnsworth buzzing.]
Claude, hey.
Are you okay? Yes, and so are Leena and Mrs.
Frederic.
Marcus is dead.
It's over.
Why is that light still-- What--what is it? They're all-- Artie? Artie, what's wrong? Wait.
Mrs.
Frederic.
How long should the barrier normally stay active? Once the danger to the Warehouse passes, it dissipates instantly.
Well, then, why is it still up? The Warehouse isn't in danger anymore.
Is it? Was he just gonna collect the Collodi artifact and walk out of here? He said he was gonna kill us all, but he never tried to.
A man who can walk does not need-- He planned on leaving it behind.
Yeah, but why? Uh-oh.
I know that writing.
That's from the House of Commons in London.
Oh, no.
How bad? The House of Commons was partially destroyed during the Blitzkrieg of World War II.
And there was a piece of masonry.
It was said to absorb the concussive force of the entire German Luftwaffe.
This is an artifact nuclear device and it's counting down.
[Beeping.]
The Ovoid quarantine can offer some protection to the rest of the Warehouse, but I-I doubt it.
I don't understand.
I mean, who builds a force field that locks you in? Well, the barrier was initiated first as a way of dealing with external danger.
The barrier's still active.
All right, the primary function of the Warehouse is to protect the world's artifacts, but the barrier, now, its mandate has shifted-- To containing the blast and protecting the world from an artifact fallout and-- If there is a big, ugly explosion, and unfortunately, if there are agents inside, that's just collateral damage.
There's less than two minutes left on the detonator.
All right.
Let me at that thing.
I'm not finding anything yet.
Keep looking.
Something's gotta neutralize that bomb.
Something.
Can't find anything on the databases, either.
Okay, so why can't we just go to the Warehouse, and find a way to break them out? Even if we cannot stop the explosion-- We can't get through the barrier.
Besides, there isn't time.
Can I maybe hack my way in and deactivate the barrier that way? The power isn't derived from the main system.
It's derived from the Remati Shackle.
Claudia.
You're going to have to give me back that metronome, please.
Now, please.
No.
You know we can't use artifacts.
What I know is I'm tired of arbitrary rules.
The metronome is for Steve.
I'm bringing him back.
Nope.
Takes a licking and keeps on trying to kill us.
Okay, the portal's closed.
There's--there's no back door.
No, no back door outside the barrier, anyway.
Come on, Myka.
We've gotten out of worse than this.
No, we have--we have.
There's a solution, and we can find it.
All we have to do is keep a cool head.
We'll find it in 56 seconds.
He did say that we'd go out together.
I always figured we would.
Not me.
I was planning on outliving both of you lunatics.
[Laughs.]
And here we go.
Hey.
Helena? What are you doing? [Laughs.]
She's trapped us.
Helena, what is this? Sorry.
It was the only way I could think to save you.
What have you done? There was no other way.
An anomaly in the system allowed me to re-route a portion of the outer barrier to that spot on the floor.
I just hope it lasts.
You've protected us from the blast.
You should be safe now.
But you're-- you're out there.
It had to be initiated from outside the barrier.
No, listen.
You gotta let us help you.
It doesn't have to be this way.
[Overlapping pleas.]
[Silently.]
Yes.
[Inhales.]
I smell apples.
[Timer beeping.]
Claudia, the Warehouse-- Mrs.
Frederic! That was his plan.
To destroy the entire Warehouse.
We lost, Artie.
We lost.
Not yet.
