Wingman/Transcript

Will Zimmerman and Henry Foss's double date goes awry when Helen Magnus insists they deliver an abnormal on the way to the restaurant.
== Cold open ==
=== Recap sequence ===
MAGNUS:[voiceover] Previously on Sanctuary...
HENRY:Um, FBI's at the front gate.
ABBY:Will! Yeah, Abby... Corrigan? We trained together at Quantico?
WILL:Are you okay?
WILL:The restaurant we're going to is this Italian joint called Alfredo's.
ABBY:Everything's in there, cash, cards, take what you want.
KODA:Take 'em both.
WILL:Hey! Hey!
ABBY:I'm not leaving this date until it is officially over, and I think it's going quite well.
WILL:No, no, don't look, okay? I just want you to breathe. I'm going to give you the counter-toxin.
ABBY:Will, I told you, I hate needles!
LILLIAN:My niece, Erika, will take you for an evaluation.
ERIKA:Come along, Henry.
HENRY:I'm from a place called The Sanctuary.
ERIKA:So you've already found where you belong.
HENRY:Yeah, I think so.
LILLIAN:Erika, no!
HENRY:This is amazing. I always thought I was alone. Now I know that's not true.
=== Teaser sequence ===
HENRY:Ah, hi, um, we should get going if we're going to make it... Ungowa.
ERIKA:I'll take that as a compliment.
HENRY:Yeah.
ERIKA:You're looking quite dapper yourself.
HENRY:What, this old thing? It's...
ERIKA:Oh... Expensive.
HENRY:Busted.
ERIKA:You're very sweet.
HENRY:Do you have to go?
ERIKA:Henry...
HENRY:They can do without you.
ERIKA:I've been gone for over a week.
HENRY:Really? Wow, it feels like a day.
ERIKA:I don't have to be at the airport till midnight, so till then, I'm all yours.
HENRY:Hmm.
HENRY:Uh, you know what, we could skip dinner, and cut straight to...
ERIKA:After all the trouble you had getting that reservation?
HENRY:Yeah.
ERIKA:Besides, I want to show you off.
HENRY:Yeah, but it's... Okay. Yeah...
----
WILL:Hey.
ABBY:I'm sorry, I got held up at work. There was a mountain of paperwork, and then the phone kept on ringing, and then the Deputy Commissioner comes in and...
WILL:Oh, really?
ABBY:- Hi.
WILL:- Hi.
WILL:You look beautiful.
ABBY:Thank you. So do you.
WILL:You know, I would have picked you up...
ABBY:Nah, you're on the way, and I am starving.
WILL:Well, that's good, because our reservation's at 8:00, so we should go.
HENRY:Hey... Wow, look at you guys.
WILL:Oh, uh, Abby, you remember Henry, and this is Erika. Erika, Abby.
ABBY:Hi.
ERIKA:Nice to meet you.
ABBY:You too. I have heard all about you. Well, I mean, not- not all about you. Just, um... So, um, big night tonight?
HENRY:Yes, uh, Alfredo's, back room.
ABBY:Oh, I thought we...
WILL:Yeah, uh, sorry, dude, but we're in the back room at Alfredo's tonight.
HENRY:Aw, yeah, I'm sorry, dude. I made the reservation under Magnus's name.
WILL:No, no, no, no, because I-I used Magnus's name for the reservation.
HENRY:Tonight at 8:00?
ABBY:Is there maybe more than one table?
WILL:No. Not in the back room.
ERIKA:Well, in the regular restaurant, perhaps.
HENRY:It's not as private.
WILL:Would you just give us... a minute here?
HENRY:I cannot believe you're stonewalling me here, dude.
WILL:You can take Erika anywhere.
HENRY:Nowhere is as good as Alfredo's.
WILL:Come on, buddy, you gotta give me this. I owe Abby Alfredo's.
HENRY:It's Erika's last night before she goes back to London.
WILL:Fine, but "near death" trumps "last night."
HENRY:What near death?
WILL:Hello, Abby nearly died on our first date?
HENRY:Ah, that was... nearly.
WILL:Will you listen to yourself right now?
HENRY:Will you listen to yourself right now?
WILL:So, what are you telling me? That we have a situation here? Is that what you're telling me?
HENRY:Will... you're forcing my hand here.
WILL:What?
HENRY:That... is why I need the back room. If all goes as planned tonight, Erika is not getting on that plane.
== Title sequence ==
== Act I ==
HENRY:What?
WILL:Whoa.
HENRY:I thought you'd be happy for me.
WILL:I am. I-I guess... Of course! Of course I'm happy. It's just...
HENRY:Just...
WILL:I don't know, fast?
HENRY:Well, yeah! She's leaving tonight. That's kind of my point.
WILL:Okay, wait, let's just pull the bus over, all right? How long have you two actually been...
HENRY:Like, like a week and a half.
WILL:Yeah, a week and a half.
HENRY:Okay.
WILL:Fast!
HENRY:Come on, Will. We're perfect for each other.
WILL:Why, because you're both HAPs?
HENRY:Yeah, just forget it, okay?
WILL:No...
HENRY:I thought maybe you'd be excited for me.
ABBY:Um, hey, guys...
HENRY:- Hi.
WILL:- Hi.
ABBY:We don't want to see you two argue.
ERIKA:We'll all share the private room.
WILL:Oh... um...
ABBY:Well, neither of you is willing to give up Alfredo's.
ERIKA:And quite frankly, after hearing all the hype, neither are we.
ABBY:What do you say?
HENRY:O...kay?
WILL:Sounds great.
MAGNUS:Ah. I'm glad I caught you. Good evening, ladies.
MAGNUS:You're glad you caught us because...
MAGNUS:I need you to transport a Lepidoptera larva.
WILL:Uh, we're going out for dinner, so...
MAGNUS:Works out perfectly, then. The four of you can take the van.
ABBY:You want us to haul a slug?
MAGNUS:Actually, it's more of a vertebrate creature. Lepidoptera hominin.
ERIKA:Some sort of humanoid insect?
MAGNUS:Yes, but it's in stasis right now. All I need you to do is pick up a small crate and drop it off at the docks. You'll be done in half an hour.
WILL:- I don't suppose... - Kate or Biggie...
MAGNUS:Staking out a red-list dealer across town.
HENRY:- Ooh! - How about you?
MAGNUS:I have a diprotodon who's about to go into labor. Unless you'd like to stay and monitor his cervix?
HENRY:No!
WILL:No!
MAGNUS:Thought not.
MAGNUS:Ah.
----
ABBY:Are you sure we shouldn't have stayed behind to help Magnus?
HENRY:Oh, you would not be asking that if you'd ever been covered in diprotodon placenta.
ERIKA:Unpleasant, is it?
WILL:It's life-altering.
ABBY:Well, that's what I'm saying. Is she okay by herself?
HENRY:Who, Helen Magnus?
ERIKA:There's no way the whatever-it-is could get violent.
WILL:Oh, there's every chance, especially during childbirth.
ABBY:And we just left her there to deal with it on her own?
WILL:Yeah.
HENRY:Yeah.
WILL:I know you guys are a little new to the sandbox, but one thing you should know about Helen Magnus...
HENRY:She can take care of herself.
WILL:Yeah.
ERIKA:She always looks so prim and proper.
WILL:Yeah, layers within layers.
ABBY:And that's just since you've known her.
WILL:We haven't even touched the first 157 years.
HENRY:Hey, dude, we're here.
WILL:All right, I'll be right back.
ERNIE:What's up?
WILL:I was supposed to pick up a small crate. This looks like a refrigerator.
ERNIE:Yeah, well, it is a refrigerator. The cryo-chamber broke down, had to make do.
WILL:Okay, and the, um, the larva?
ERNIE:Well, it grew a little, you know, but as long as you keep the temperatures low... Should be fine.
WILL:Fine, okay. Just put it in the back, will you?
ERNIE:And! The Lepidoptera prefers a moist environment, a high protein diet, and enjoys the soothing sounds of the female.
ERNIE:I created that myself. It's yours for the low, low price...
WILL:- I... I don't need that. - I'm not keeping it as a pet.
ERNIE:Ah! B-b-b-but... All right, you drive a hard bargain. I'll tell you what I'll do, I will throw in extra protein pellets.
WILL:Hold on a second. I have a girl in the van, all right, and we have reservations at Alfredo's. Maybe you've heard of it? So, just... help a brother out. Please?
ERNIE:Free enterprise is dead.
WILL:All right, so we drop the Frigidaire off at the docks, make a U-turn...
HENRY:We'll be sipping champagne at Alfredo's ten minutes later.
ABBY:Oh, I should, uh, call them and let them know we're running a few minutes late.
WILL:I can smell that agnolotti now. Stuffed with roasted pumpkin... sauteed in brown butter.
ERIKA:Mm-hm, I can smell it too.
ERIKA:Oh... Actually, what is that?
HENRY:Oh, no way. Can't be.
ABBY:What? I don't smell...
WILL:Abby? Abby...
WILL:Here. Got her?
HENRY:Yeah.
ERIKA:Put her up on the crate.
WILL:Easy, easy.
HENRY:I got her.
WILL:Abby?
ERIKA:What's happened to her?
HENRY:- The Lepidoptera. - That smell?
WILL:- It's giving off a gas.
WILL:- She's just got to get some air. [to Abby] Come on, Ab, breathe.
ABBY:What happened?
WILL:Seems you're allergic to Lepidoptera gas.
ABBY:Who knew?
HENRY:Dude... if it's releasing gas...
WILL:That means it's molting.
ERIKA:So?
WILL:So it's not larval anymore.
ABBY:Is that a problem?
WILL:Yeah... Yeah, that's a problem.
== Act II ==
MAGNUS:Damn that Ernie. The Lepidoptera can only be transported during the early larval stages, he knows that.
WILL:He did say something about a faulty cryo-chamber.
HENRY:Yeah, so he put bug boy in a fridge.
MAGNUS:I beg your pardon?
WILL:What Henry means is that we were transporting the abnormal in an alternative... temperature-controlled container.
MAGNUS:A refrigerator!
WILL:Well, yes, I believe it's also known by that name...
MAGNUS:Because you were in a rush to get on with your evening.
HENRY:Well, it was just a few minutes from the docks. What was going to happen?
MAGNUS:You do realize that question has now ceased to be rhetorical?
HENRY:Yes, I do now.
MAGNUS:Well, at least the creature can't have gone far. After its final molt, the wings still need to mature, but you'll have to capture it before it becomes fully mobile.
HENRY:Or else?
MAGNUS:If it becomes strong enough to fly, there'll be no containing it. Now, are either of you boys eager to do damage control on civilian sightings of a flying Moth man?
WILL:- Not so much.
HENRY:- Uh-uh.
WILL:How much time do we have?
MAGNUS:Half an hour, forty-five minutes, tops.
HENRY:Okay. Well, at least the stunners in the van are fully charged.
MAGNUS:No stunners. The Lepidoptera is still a fledgling. You might damage its neural development.
WILL:Well, how are we supposed to...
MAGNUS:Tranqs if need be, only at close range, not near the head. Now, get going, and keep me informed.
HENRY:Did she sound angry to you?
WILL:- Fridge? Really? - Come on.
ABBY:I spoke with Alfredo's, and they said they may be able to hold our table for an extra half an hour. He's going to call back to let us know.
WILL:Good. That's the first good news I've had all night.
ERIKA:There's more. It appears Abby's phone captured the Lepidoptera's cry when it escaped.
ABBY:I guess as I was zonking out, I must've pressed "voice memo" instead of "dial".
ERIKA:But I was thinking it also might work as a lure. You know, like a duck call.
HENRY:We'd have to hack into the phone...
ERIKA:Extract the M4A file...
HENRY:Loop it through the van's stereo system...
ERIKA:Yes. How big is your subwoofer? 400?
HENRY:Darling, this is 600 watts of thumping power.
ERIKA:You are brilliant.
HENRY:You are beautiful...
WILL:- Guys... - Ticky, ticky, ticky.
HENRY:I need your phone.
ABBY:Uh, w-wh, uh...
HENRY:I'm not going to hurt it.
ABBY:Wait, just, 'cause all of my stuff is on here. M-my contacts, my calendar, everything...
HENRY:Abigail, you're talking to the guy that hacked into the online ThunderWar MMORPG database and re-sorted all the player scores by astrological sign. No one even knew I'd been to town.
ABBY:Oh, okay. What does that mean?
WILL:It means just give him your phone.
HENRY:Give me.
HENRY:Thank you. This will only take a second.
WILL:I guess that leaves me on containment duty.
HENRY:Well, Will, we all have our own unique ability and special burden to bear. For me, it just happens to be the fascinating world of technology. For you...
----
WILL:Sewers.
ABBY:Well, it doesn't smell as bad as I thought it would.
WILL:You really didn't have to come with me. At least this creature's not very dangerous, so...
ABBY:Are you sure? All the abnormals I've seen at the Sanctuary are behind glass. This is like... being on safari.
WILL:Believe me, compared to what we usually deal with, this guy is a pussycat.
----
DECLAN:Take it down! Get it!
WILL:I'm pretty sure we have rules about floating and stuff.
HENRY:Dude! This is so not time for a pee break!
MAGNUS:Will! It's coming around this side!
WILL:Magnus!
MAGNUS:Move!
WILL:What the hell was that?
----
ABBY:Okay, enough already, jeez! Now I'm just going to be worried about you all the time.
WILL:Oh, come on. Not all abnormals are like that.Look at Henry and Biggie...
ABBY:Hmm.
WILL:Tell me you're not tweeting this.
ABBY:I am just checking to make sure Henry didn't erase anything vital.
WILL:- Okay. - Is it all good?
ABBY:Yeah, it seems so.
WILL:Don't worry, he's got it all on his hard drive.
ABBY:Well, what is it?
WILL:Well, when they start blasting the Lepidoptera call down here, it's going to echo like mad off these walls. Our critter could get spooked. I just want to make sure there's no branch lines he could get caught in.
ABBY:Yeah. Oh, well... Eeny meeny.
WILL:Let's go this way. These are the wings marks on the wall.
----
ABBY:So, just for future reference, what is a normal date like with Will Zimmerman?
WILL:Well, dinner, a movie... a moonlit stroll along the river, you know.
ABBY:I've seen your life at the Sanctuary. That place keeps you hopping.
WILL:So?
ABBY:Well, it doesn't leave much time for a social life, in the past... I would think.
WILL:Are you working me?
ABBY:Well, I... I'm just thinking out loud.
WILL:No, no, no, no, I know a backdoor psych attack when I hear one.
ABBY:Well, I'm curious, and that is normal.
WILL:This is the time you choose to ask about my previous relationships.
ABBY:Plural?
WILL:There was only two serious ones.
ABBY:And?
WILL:Fine.
----
MEG:And the last two years of our lives come down to a punchline.
WILL:That wasn't a... Look, let's not do this, okay? I can't go ten rounds tonight. I just don't have it in me.
MEG:They still riding you at work?
WILL:Nothing I can't handle.
MEG:Don't take this the wrong way, Will, but you invite the ridicule.
WILL:Did you get the same invitation?
MEG:That's not fair.
WILL:Come on, Meg, you always thought I was a wackjob too.
MEG:Look, whatever it is that finally helps you sleep at night... I hope you find it.
MEG:Bye, Will.
WILL:Meg...
CLARA:I can't believe this place. I-I thought I was a one-off, a freak.
WILL:Clara, why don't you stay here? I mean, just for a while, just to see what it's like to be part of something.
CLARA:Yeah, I-I don't know, being connected to places and people, it's not really my style.
WILL:Well, that's because neither was accepting of who you are. I think that's going to change.
WILL:Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, hold on a second. What are you still doing here? I thought you were going to evacuate with the other residents.
CLARA:Well, I didn't join up so I could just run away when the going got tough.
WILL:You stay out of sight.
MAGNUS:Will, I'm so sorry.
WILL:She wasn't supposed to be here.
----
ABBY:- I... didn't know. - I'm sorry. I never should have asked.
WILL:It's okay. I'm glad you did. I want you to know these things.
ABBY:Thank you.
WILL:Especially because now it's your turn.
ABBY:What? Me? Now?
WILL:Oh, oh, so I've opened up to you, but you're just going to shut me out? That's how it works? Okay, fine.
ABBY:- All right, all right. - Jeez, okay. Um... Okay, well, first there was Juan, and he...
WILL:Stop.
ABBY:...had the most incredible...
WILL:Don't wanna hear about Juan.
ABBY:...dark eyes...
WILL:Not interested. Not in the... Shh.
ABBY:Sleeping?
WILL:Yeah. Let's try to keep it this way.
ABBY:Not near the head.
WILL:I know.
ABBY:That is not my ringtone.
WILL:[into cellphone] Hello! Thank you.
WILL:We just lost the table.
== Act III ==
ABBY:I knew he would screw up my phone.
WILL:Are you okay?
ABBY:You mean aside from just being pollinated? Sure. Here.
WILL:Come on, let's go.
ABBY:Whoa, whoa, whoa... Maybe not so much. Yeah, I think I twisted my ankle.
WILL:Oh, no. Okay, lean on me.
ABBY:Okay. Ow!
WILL:Does it hurt? Sorry. I'm sorry. Come on, let's try.
ABBY:Ow! Ooh, oh... And what about the Leppopotamus?
WILL:The Lepidoptera?
ABBY:That thing.
WILL:Well, all the branch lines are secure, so hopefully it can't escape into the river.
ABBY:He spit on us.
WILL:I know.
ABBY:At least, I hope this is spit.
WILL:Okay. It was frightened. I think I'll need a sleeping agent to transport it safely. You ready to walk?
ABBY:Okay.
WILL:Come on.
ABBY:- Okay, ow.
WILL:- There you go.
ABBY:Yeah, thanks.
WILL:You're doing real good. So tell me more about this Juan fellow.
----
ERIKA:Yeah, almost there...
HENRY:Yeah, baby, that's it...
ERIKA:- Oh, yes! - A little bit more... Oh, almost! It's so close!
HENRY:Oh, my God... There! Did we get it?
ERIKA:We got it.
HENRY:Is that good? All right, we've got juice!
ERIKA:Oh... and you looked so cute.
HENRY:"Handsome." Bunnies are cute.
ERIKA:You could be my little bunny.
HENRY:Oh, dear God, please tell me we're not going to be one of those couples. There is not enough insulin in the world.
ERIKA:Okay, I'll stop, for now.
HENRY:All right, well, with the right amplitude, we could turn this van into one giant loudspeaker. Did you convert the sound file?
ERIKA:48 kilohertz. Though there will be some degradation from the previous compression.
HENRY:Yeah, it's an artifact of the crappy codec from the cell phone manufacturer.
ERIKA:Makes one pine for the days of the lossless PCM.
HENRY:Yeah, even without the metadata capability.
ERIKA:And don't even get me started on adaptive differential pulse code modulation...
HENRY:You're amazing.
ERIKA:I am.
HENRY:Okay, uh... Um... Okay, I know this isn't the time or the place, but, um... Here goes nothing.
WILL:I hope we're not interrupting.
HENRY:No.
ERIKA:What on Earth...
ABBY:Oh, well, thanks to my new Death Metal ringtone...
WILL:About that, darling, when we're on an op, usually we put our phones on vibrate.
ABBY:It was on vibrate.
HENRY:That may be my bad. I had to disable that function. Sorry.
WILL:Well, we ran into our Moth man.
ABBY:He spewed. I tripped.
WILL:Sprained her ankle.
ABBY:Which is now swelling and unbelievably painful.
ERIKA:Then you've got to stay off it. Henry, help Will get her into the car.
WILL:Okay, watch your head.
ABBY:- Ow, ow, ow! - Okay, okay, got it.
ERIKA:Sit down.
ABBY:Okay, thanks.
ERIKA:I'll wrap it.
WILL:So, the bottom line is that the critter is spooked. Now, if we go after it with tranqs, it may injure itself trying to escape, but...
HENRY:Knock-out gas?
WILL:Yes. Where is it?
HENRY:We don't have any.
WILL:Huh? How do we not have any?
HENRY:Dude, why would I bring knock-out gas on a date?
HENRY:Dude, do not answer that.
ABBY:Well, could you make some?
WILL:Me, no. This guy?
HENRY:Well, yeah, I don't wanna brag, or...
----
HENRY:Writing a damn symphony here.
HENRY:Yes! Suck it, Electro! This is my town!
KATE:This thing has brakes, right?
HENRY:Emergency brakes are... active! Okay.
WILL:Seriously, dude, any time!
HENRY:We're good!
WILL:We are out of time here.
HENRY:Who's your daddy?
HENRY:Now, tell me, who's your daddy?
HENRY:And the crowd goes wild. Three words, please.
MAGNUS:Well done, Henry.
MAGNUS:Well done, Henry.
MAGNUS:Excellent work, Henry.
WILL:Nice work, Henry.
TESLA:Nice work... Henry?
MAGNUS:Well done, Henry.
MAGNUS:Good work, Henry.
WILL:Well done, Henry.
----
HENRY:So... for my next trick... Taking into consideration the Moth man's BMI... I'm thinking something along the lines of dimethylchloride... with a soupçon of an antifreeze chaser.
WILL:See, this-this is the part where he scares me.
ERIKA:I think it'll work. Will, will you pass me that water bottle? Henry, can you pour a quarter cup of the mace?
HENRY:- Yes.
ABBY:- Mace?
You sure you don't want me to...
No, you stay here.
Keep working on the audio in case this goes south.
All right.
The release is on a thirty-second timer.
That'll give us just enough time to set it and get out.
Okay, just... be careful.
I'll be back before you know it.
You think this'll work?
Sure. Don't you?
Well, I have known Henry a little bit longer than you.
----
No, no, no, no!
MAGNUS:- Henry?
HENRY:- Hello?
MAGNUS:You heard the plan?
HENRY:Weapons, catacombs, check. I'll see you in five.
Dammit...
HENRY:Okay, well... enjoy your stay.
DRUITT:I plan to.
HENRY:Crap.
HENRY:Nobody's gonna hurt you, little fella. Nobody's gonna...
Can you slow it down and enhance the image?
Hey!
Yes, but take the safety off first!
So not cool!
HENRY:And we've lost auxiliary.
----
ERIKA:That's funny, he didn't mention any of that.
WILL:It's funny, all right.
ERIKA:You guys have been through a lot together.
WILL:That we have.
ERIKA:In fact, the whole Sanctuary team seems like more of a family.
If not a little dysfunctional.
ERIKA:Hmm, but you look out for each other.
WILL:Of course.
ERIKA:If one of you were to leave...
WILL:Leave? Nobody's leaving.
ERIKA:I hope you're wrong, Will. I bought an extra plane ticket. I'm going to ask Henry to come back to London with me.
== Act IV ==
Henry. London...
- Tonight.
- Tonight?
What do you think?
What do I think? Uh...
I-I think that you
should talk to Henry.
I've been trying.
I was going to do it at dinner,
but, well, I haven't exactly
had the right moment.
Welcome to life
in the Sanctuary.
Crazy.
Yeah, it is.
Yet you love it.
I do. Now.
In the beginning,
not so much,
but after everything
I know now,
how can I go back
to my old life?
That's exactly how I feel.
Meeting Henry
opened up my world.
He changed my life,
and now I want him
to be part of it.
We should keep going.
Oh, thanks, that was
getting a little itchy.
Yeah, you know,
I'm no doctor,
but it looks okay.
I think the bandage is
keeping the swelling down.
Thanks, Henry.
- My pleasure.
- It's my old boy scout training.
You were a boy scout?
Yeah, no.
They wouldn't, um...
I don't know
why I said that, actually.
Well, I guess it's
'cause it sounds like
a thing people say.
Yeah. Other people.
I don't think of you any
differently than anybody else.
That's cool.
Do you?
Yeah. Yeah, I mean, you know,
I am different, so...
There was a time not so long ago
where I thought
that was a bad thing.
What changed your mind?
This isn't a disease, Henry.
This isn't a disease, Henry.
All I know is
I can't control it.
Not as yet, no, but...
Look, Doc,
I have spent my adult life
working with abnormals,
learning to accept them,
even appreciate them...
Look, I can't account
for myself when I'm that thing,
and what if I hurt one of you?
I can't let that happen.
I spent a lifetime
more or less human.
You've yet
to discover your gift.
You only see the curse in it.
The difference
between you and me
is you can control your power.
And in time, so will you.
I got to admit,
at first it was a little scary
for me too.
but once you get the hang of it,
it's pretty awesome.
Awesome.
It's not a thing,
Erika, it's who we are.
Not if we want to be safe.
How did you do that?
See? You don't have
to be afraid.
I'm totally in control.
You know, I've never seen...
The HAPster?
I-I know it's like
asking Elton John
to sing at a party, but...
Oh... um, yeah, you know,
just, it's a little
bit complicated,
'cause, uh, there's this
whole part where I go naked.
Never mind.
Hey, uh, you feel up to
helping me out a little bit?
At your service.
All right, I've almost got
the audio hookup ready.
Can you hold a soldering iron?
Absolutely.
Uh... Um...
What is that?
It's shedding the last
of its old skin.
So we're running out of time.
We'll set up here.
Air current's flowing north.
It'll carry the gas down through both tunnels.
And then we'll move in, scoop up Sleeping Beauty...
And get on with our evening, such as it is.
At this point, I think we're talkin' drive-thru.
Okay, almost there.Just one last patch.
Can you pass me that USB?
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right. We are ready
to rock and roll.
We'll have 30 seconds
to vacate the area.
Ready to run?
On your mark.
Ow! Oh, that's working.
Henry...
He got it working.
Too right.
- The gas!
- No time, come on!
Let's go.
Whoa, this is not cool!
Oh, my God.
== Act V ==
You guys okay in there?
Um... yeah, we've been better.
Why is it doing this?
I don't know.
Hey, maybe it doesn't like
the sound of its own voice.
Th-That's it.
Turn the speakers off!
Go, go, go, go.
Uh, how did you...
It thought the sound
was another dude.
So it saw you as a threat.
Where is it now?
It's just
on top of the van, hanging out.
Well, can you catch it?
Not without
setting it off again.
I think this calls for
a woman's touch.
I don't...
- Ernie.
- It's Zimmerman.
Uh, who?
From the Sanctuary.
Uh-huh, so now
you want my help?
Hey, this giant gnat
wasn't supposed to hatch
for another month.
Are you questioning
my business practices?
No, no, let's just
move on, okay?
I take it you've reconsidered
my previous offer
of a package deal.
Just give me the female sound
that calms it down.
- Fine. As I mentioned,
- I designed it myself.
There are certain
proprietary rights...
Yes, we will pay.
Just send the file.
Look, buddy,
you gotta be more specific.
What kind of file?
Wav, Mp3...
Whatever's fastest!
Just send it!
All right,
I'm going to pull
the phone away from my face.
Please hold.
This guy...
What's going on?
I don't know.
Sending now,
but it's a lot of information.
Come on, come on...
It may take
a few seconds.
Hey, uh, while we're waiting,
perhaps I could interest you
in a refurbished cryo-chamber?
Got it!
You're welcome.
What's going on now?
- Yeah, still don't know.
- In the same van as you, so...
I hope it's good.
I think it likes you.
Not exactly the kind of action
I was hoping for tonight.
----
I'm sorry the night
got away from us.
Yeah. I had
such big plans for us.
Well, now that we finally
have a moment to ourselves...
- I want you to stay.
- I want you to come with me.
Um, that's
a first-class ticket to London
with my name on it.
It's beautiful.
I don't want you to leave.
You could stay.
Henry, I can't stay here.
I grew up in an institution
for abnormals.
No, the Sanctuary's
more than that.
It's a family.
Maybe for you,
but you've lived your life,
seen the world.
Now it's my turn.
Whoo.
Boy, this is, uh...
really not going how I imagined.
You could come with me.
I can't.
I'm needed here.
I'll visit.
Be safe.
----
I'm sure Kate won't mind
you borrowing these.
Oh, no, no, I shouldn't.
Are you kidding?
She's got, like,
47 pairs in there.
Oh, well, in that case,
maybe I'll keep them
for next time.
You are a glutton
for punishment.
Well, as long as it's fun,
I'll keep coming back.
Really?
What happens the next time
we get covered in sewage
and Moth man spew?
Well...
Hmm. Nice.
That's just an excuse
to get these dirty clothes off.
- Y...eah.
- I guess you're right.
----
Erika's gone?
Yup. The driver just left.
So, how are you doing?
You know, I'm doing
pretty good, actually.
I know it's weird,
but apparently
there's more to a relationship
than just being a HAP.
I've got something
I need your help with.
Doc, I'm pretty beat.
Too bad.
It can't wait.
There's nothing worse
than cold agnolotti.
----
Since when does
Alfredo's deliver?
They don't.
I have said it before,
and I will say it again.
You rock.
I'll drink to that.
Oh...
Will you be joining us for dinner?
Uh, no. We just came for some profiteroles.
Ah.
Oh... and the agnolotti.
And the, uh, agnolotti.
No...
Ciao.
He took the...
