Endlings (2020) s01e11 Episode Script
Extinction
1 TABBY: Previously on Endlings HEWES: A small token of my appreciation.
DRIVER: Target acquired.
TABBY: That's another one for the Tabster! JULIA: What are we gonna name it now that it's awake? Ling.
[CAR CREAKING.]
[ALIEN CHITTERING.]
You need to stay out of this one, Johnny.
- It's not your choice.
- Yes, it is.
- [COW LOWING.]
- [ALIEN WARBLING.]
- Ehh? - Are you cold? ABIONA: Some animals change their colors to show their moods.
- I think she's happy.
- [SPARKS ZAPPING.]
JOHNNY: Watch out! [CREATURE SHRIEKING.]
She's gonna freeze out there.
We've gotta get to her before the cold does.
- We're going after her.
- Be careful.
TECH: The trigger mechanism suggests that it may have been used as a trap.
They're not the only ones with traps.
[FOOTSTEPS STOMPING.]
[CREATURE SHRIEKING.]
We're trying to help you! [GROANING.]
Get ready! Sweet dreams, unicorn.
[ENERGY PULSING.]
[SHRIEKING.]
Huh? [GROANS.]
[SIGHS.]
Well, that hurt.
Got any other unicorn trapping ideas? [TABBY SHRIEKING.]
Oh.
What part of "get ready" do you not understand? Well, it's hard to hear in there.
Right, Finn? [POWER PULSING.]
Finn? - We'll try again tomorrow.
- TABBY: You said that yesterday.
And the day before that.
And we'll keep on trying until we save her.
Besides, we have to fix Johnny's jacket.
It's cold out here.
TABBY: It's fine.
He's had that jacket like forever.
There you are.
Uh, your room is, uh, right this way.
Oh, uh, right here, Johnathan.
I left some clothes on the bed.
You can choose what you want.
The rest we'll get rid of.
All right, well, I'll let you get settled in then, huh? [CLEARS THROAT.]
Dinner's at 5:00.
[GASPS.]
[LAUGHS.]
Snap out of it, sleeping beauty.
[RUMBLING OVERHEAD.]
Is that your drone, Tabby? I wish.
Check out the size of those babies! JOHNNY: Where are they coming from? And where are they going? Deployment is at 76%.
Let me know when we're at 100%.
As requested, we focused the drones within 50 miles of Malik Williams' farm.
Good.
Make sure the vehicles are prepped.
I want to move out as soon as we get a positive contact hit.
[DRONE HUMMING.]
JULIA: What is it doing? I think you mean what are they doing? - What's this? - Don't look at me.
"Thank you, officers Metra and Lopez, for all your help.
Hewes.
" She spelt my name wrong.
Well, it's a paperweight from her company.
- She must be very thankful.
- [MITRA SCOFFS.]
[CREATURE HUMMING, CLICKING.]
Good morning, Ling.
[SIGHING.]
Where, uh Where do you think you're going? Ling? - [LIGHTS SPARK.]
- [TUKU TRUMPETS SOFTLY.]
- Is that better, Tuku? - [TUKU TRUMPETS.]
[LING CLICKING.]
[TUKU TRUMPETS.]
[LING WHIMPERING, CLICKING.]
[TUKU TRUMPETS.]
Ling? What's going on? [TUKU TRUMPETS.]
Ling just got up and headed right over here.
I'll see what Ling's up to.
[ABIONA STRAINING.]
[LING CLICKING.]
The kids captured these.
They're trying to help you.
[LING WHIMPERING.]
We all are.
[SIGHING, WHIMPERING.]
[CLICKING.]
What's happening? [POWER PULSING.]
- Ninety percent.
- Why is this taking so long? The area is bordered by a hydroelectric dam.
[STATIC CRACKLING.]
It's causing interference to our satellite uplink.
So compensate.
Eh, careful, Tabs.
I can be careful and brave at the same time.
What do you think it is? - A teleportation device.
- Really? No.
Not really.
How am I supposed to know what it is? [DRONES HUMMING.]
Whatever it is, it looks like there's a lot of them.
- What are you doing? - I'm gonna poke it.
We don't even know who they belong to.
No.
We don't.
But we do know they're on our property which makes them ours.
Stop! Let me try.
[TABBY SCOFFS.]
Hope you don't get teleported away.
[LING CHITTERING.]
[ENERGY WHIRRING.]
[LING SIGHING.]
What are we looking at? [MUFFLED POUNDING, LIQUID GURGLING.]
Are those heartbeats? [SIGHING.]
Who do they belong to? The kids?! [COMPUTER CHIRPING.]
One hundred percent deployment.
Prepare to activate.
And activate.
[WHIRRING.]
Whoa! TABBY: Hmm.
Good poke.
Careful, Julia.
I can be careful and brave at the same time.
[CLANGS, SPARKS.]
- Is that a - Trap.
For what? [TRAP CLANGS.]
[ALIEN SHRIEKING.]
JOHNNY: The unicorn! [COMPUTER BEEPS.]
Contact.
Scan for biometric readings.
I want to make sure it's not just a deer or something.
That's unusual.
Please explain.
We're picking up traces of nitinol.
Memory metal.
It's an alloy that's capable of reverting back to its original form.
[STATIC SPARKING.]
Electromagnetic interference.
Trying to compensate.
What's nitinol doing out there? Let's find out.
Circle a drone back and let's see what we've caught.
[DRONES HUMMING.]
[MUFFLED BEATING.]
What's that? Another heart? [LING SPLUTTERING, CHIRPING.]
- Is it an Endling? - [LING HUMS.]
- The unicorn? - [LING SIGHS.]
Why is it beating faster? [LING SIGHS, GROANS.]
Is she scared? [LING WHIMPERING, CLICKING.]
[ALIEN SHRIEKING.]
One of those traps got her! [SHRIEKING.]
She looks like she's in pain.
Don't worry, we're here.
I know, Finn.
We're gonna get her out.
Somebody get me a stick.
A stick isn't gonna break that thing.
No, but I could try to pry it open.
- What about the control panel? - [PANEL BUZZES.]
Maybe we can turn it off from there.
All right, Finn.
I'm going, I'm going.
Finn, she needs to go slowly.
Sometimes when things are scared, they don't act the way you expect.
[ALIEN GROANING.]
Don't worry.
She loves me.
- Don't you? - [ALIEN SHRIEKS.]
- [SPARKS ZAPPING.]
- [ALIEN GROANING.]
Whoa! Or she loves me not.
- [GROANS.]
Johnny! - Johnny! - TABBY: Johnny, you okay? - JULIA: Wake up.
TABBY: Johnny, snap out of it.
JULIA: Johnny! I said dinner was at 5:00.
Are you hungry? Well, at least try some of this, hmm? For the bruise.
An old family remedy.
Take the swelling down.
You got into a lot of fights? Mm-hmm.
With my dad, yeah.
You? Same.
So, Jonathan, you sure you don't want to try some of this soup? It's not bad.
Another old family remedy.
TABBY: He's waking up.
You all right? I've been better.
[ALIEN GRUMBLING.]
Bit of a rough day, huh? It's not her fault, she's just scared, but it doesn't look like we're gonna get close to that control panel.
We're gonna have to bring her home with that thing still on.
TABBY: Trap pieces? [SPARKS ZAP, ALIEN GROANS.]
JOHNNY: Watch out for kicks.
[ALIEN SNARLING.]
[ENERGY PULSING.]
That's not supposed to happen! The electricity from the trap must be messing with our trap pieces.
JOHNNY: That's not our only problem.
[WHISTLES.]
Do I really have to tell you again? What's that? Please check out evidence.
Don't just take it.
What do you mean? That specimen that you brought back from the farm? It's gone.
Did you not take it? [MONITOR CHIRPING.]
Actuation complete.
Bring up its live video feed.
[STATIC SPARKING.]
Our satellite uplink is still being affected.
Un-affect it! [SPARKING CONTINUES.]
Continue collection protocols.
Bring me back a piece of that thing.
[DRONE CLANGING, HUMMING.]
Whoever trapped the unicorn must have come back to collect it.
Well, they'll have to go through us.
Blasters up.
Blast it! - [ALIEN SHRIEKING.]
- [KIDS STRAINING.]
TABBY: It's too strong for us! [SHRIEKING.]
We won't let it hurt you.
[SHRIEKING.]
[MUFFLED POUNDING.]
They're all beating faster.
What's happening out there? [LING WARBLING.]
Ling! You're not the only one who can get blasters.
[ENERGY PULSING.]
- [TRAP SPARKING.]
- [ALIEN GROANING.]
[SHRIEKING.]
It's hurting her! - No, Julia, don't! - But we have to do something! It looks like it's killing her! [ENERGY PULSES.]
[DRONE CREAKING.]
Did you see how Julia's blaster pulled it in that direction? So? Maybe if we all run in different directions We'd pull it apart.
I like the way you think.
On the count of three blast it and scatter.
[DRONE HUMMING.]
[GENERATOR POWERING UP.]
Satellite uplink coming back online.
- Finally.
- [STATIC SPARKING.]
- One - Two Three.
- Scatter! - [ALIEN SHRIEKING.]
- It's working! - Keep going! Night-night, robot.
Night-night, Johnathan.
This place isn't right for me.
I understand.
What When did you, uh I can't help myself.
Well thanks for leaving it behind.
[LAUGHS SOFTLY.]
No problem.
And, uh, feel free to use the front door.
I won't stop you.
Hey, where do you think the right place is for you? I don't know.
Neither do I.
Look, Johnathan.
I know that life hasn't exactly dealt you the greatest of hands.
Me either.
And I don't know very much about you, but I do know that I am tired of keeping my guard up all the time.
So, I figure I can either take what's happened to me and try to be better or I can let it tear me down.
So, here's the deal.
Until you figure out where the right place is for you, why don't you treat this like a "right now" place? Leave whenever you want.
Johnny.
My name is Johnny, not Johnathan.
Well, Johnny, uh good night.
We've got some barn work to do in the morning.
Good night, Mr.
Leopold.
You bet.
[POWER PULSING, DRONE CLATTERING.]
We did it! - [CHUCKLES.]
- [ALIEN WARBLES.]
[WARBLING.]
[STATIC SPARKS.]
The signal's gone offline.
Clearly.
I'm growing tired of these delays.
Redirect the drones.
I'll meet them there.
[ALIEN WARBLING.]
TABBY: Time to get this thing off you.
- [ALIEN SNARLS.]
- Whoa! What gives? Did you not just see us save you? It's not her fault, she's scared.
She should be.
[ALIEN GROANING.]
There's too many of them.
[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYS.]
DRIVER: Target acquired.
