- Previously on Warehouse 13...
- I spent some time in a psyche research facility.
And I just told you I was in an institution.
- This is abigail chow.
Ms. Chow is the new owner of the bed-and-breakfast.
- What exactly did you do before you bought the b&b
- A lot of things. Why do you ask?
- Anything in the field of psychotherapy?
- Yes. - I killed someone I love.
- Let's talk.
[door clangs]
- [gasping]
[indistinct chatter]
Briggs! Where is briggs?
I shot him!
Detective briggs, I did it.
I want to confess!
- Okay, I got this.
I'm here.
What is this, purcell?
A joke? Huh?
Your lawyer made us cut you and your partner loose.
- [panting] I don't care.
I shot that guy. I killed him.
- If you say so.
Maybe your friend shultz'll have a change of heart next.
- So my client just ran into the station,
Waived counsel, and confessed.
Yeah, that's kind of hard to believe.
- You got a dozen witnesses.
- [chuckles] yeah, all cops,
And you're the d.A.
- Well, they don't do everything that I tell them.
- Why would he confess?
Your own lab said that there was no evidence.
- Actually, that's not quite correct.
My report said that there was insufficient evidence
To satisfy a judge.
- And thank you for saying that
In front of the defense, ms...
- Emily lake.
And to be clear, I did also say
That he's guilty.
Open wide.
I know it's difficult being the accused.
- You always friendly to confessed killers?
- No reason not to be civil.
We're all here to find the truth.
- I thought we were here to put bad guys away,
But whatever.
- Yes, let's just go with "whatever," shall we?
Hands, please.
Thank you.
Even you have to admit, detective,
His behavior is rather a...
[skin crackling]
Curiosity.
[mysterious music]
*
[rumbling]
- What--what the hell?
Ow.
Can't I read a book for five minutes?
- Really?
So she's not here to run the b-and-b,
Especially the all-important second "b"?
- Abigail's a therapist, Pete.
She's not a short-order cook, okay?
She's here to help Artie.
Make your own breakfast. You're an adult.
Sort of.
- That's gross.
- Well, this is awesome.
Now we have somebody who's gonna be analyzing
Everything we do, judging our every move.
- I thought that was Artie's job.
Hey, steve, you know how to make scones, right?
- I don't even like scones.
- I miss old stereotypes.
- [chuckles]
- Ooh! - Another stereotype shattered.
- [snickers] - [clicks tongue]
- That's it? Cereal?
Okay, who's in charge of breakfast?
Because wheat os is just not gonna cut it.
[Farnsworth buzzes]
- Yo.
- Did you guys feel an earthquake?
- No. - Has anything unusual happened
In the Warehouse at all lately?
- No, nothing.
Oh! Oh! What was that?
- Can you tell us why you're asking?
- No, later, later.
Meet me at the f.I.S.H. Asap.
- I'll just get dressed. - Oh, this isn't, um,
Like, therapist business.
He means agents only, so--
- Who says I do? Bring abigail too.
- But she's not dressed, and you said a.S.A.P.
- I'll just be two minutes.
[cell phone ringing]
[beep]
- Hello?
Helena?
So you're a lab tech.
- Forensic scientist.
Quite a natural fit for me, really,
With my aptitude for science
And powers of observation.
Any details I needed to play it convincingly
I was able to glean from the television.
- I'm really hoping it wasn't from dexter,
'cause that's--
- That's evidence,
And it's covered in bodily fluids.
[glass shatters]
- I understand how you're doing this.
What I don't get is why.
What happened? We--we haven't heard from you
In months.
- I was under strict orders not to contact anyone
While I had the astrolabe.
After returning it to the brotherhood,
I wanted a new life,
One far away from the world of artifacts.
Now, may I fill you in on the case at hand?
- Of course.
- The suspect's name is richard purcell.
He and a partner allegedly killed a mini-mart owner
During a robbery.
Both were released on technicalities.
Then purcell willingly returned and confessed.
And when I observed him during booking,
It was as if he was...
Transforming.
- Transforming? Transforming how?
Like dangerous, jekyll and hyde,
Werewolf, roseanne barr?
- [sighs] I don't know.
In all my years hunting artifacts,
I've never seen anything like it.
[dramatic music]
*
- I don't see any fish.
I don't even see any water.
- Did you stop for coffee?
Masks!
[device crackling]
[whirring]
[whooshing]
- That's the f.I.S.H.
Frequency-interfering surveillance holograph.
It's a scrapped cia project from the '50s.
- Yeah, it hides the Warehouse from aerial detection.
- Anything that flies over the Warehouse,
Radar, sonar, or spy satellite,
They see... [beeping]
This.
Now, in order for this image to be projected,
The f.I.S.H. Has to maintain a real-time scan
Of what is actually there,
Which is this.
This...
Bird's-eye view of the mountain and the Warehouse.
This should tell us what-- [beeping]
Okay! The mountain did not move.
It is just the Warehouse.
- So what's causing it?
- That is the question, isn't it?
All right, masks!
[whooshing and clanking]
All right, put it in the trunk.
See you at the Warehouse.
[easy listening music playing]
*
- So what are we missing?
- I don't know-- the artifact, the perpetrator,
Just about everything at this point.
- No, with h.G.
She wants to give up a life of endless wonder
To be a normal person?
She is not a normal person.
She's H.G. Wells.
- Well, maybe she just doesn't want to end up
Evil, crazy, or dead.
Let's just go talk to this guy purcell.
[rattling and rumbling]
- Artie... - Yeah?
- Are we sure abigail should be in here
When this is going on?
For her own safety, her being new and all.
- All hands on deck. We got a lot of ground to cover.
Why? You got a problem with her? - No.
[laughs] No.
[loud rumbling, crashing]
[screams]
- Hey. You all right?
- [grunts] yeah. M-muscle cramp.
Not enough potassium.
Abigail ate my banana.
- It was supposed to be a robbery.
I only had a gun to scare him.
But then he went for a gun too, and I--
- Why did you turn yourself in?
I mean, the cops couldn't make the case.
- I'm asking myself the same question.
- Well, what about your, uh, your partner,
Donald shultz?
They think he was with you.
He swears he's innocent.
- Donny is innocent.
He wasn't around that night.
He can prove it. - Why doesn't he?
- He...Can't...
Say where he was.
- Right. So we've got a guilty guy
Who blabbed after he got off
And an innocent guy who could get off but won't.
It's an irony artifact.
- Uh, mr. Purcell,
Think back.
What were you doing just before you came
To the station?
- [screaming] no!
No.
[gasping] No.
- Hey, hey-- - Everybody leave me alone!
[thrashing]
Leave me alone! [sobbing]
- Whatever that artifact is scared him so much
That he can't even think about it.
We need to find shultz.
- Please! Please!
I swear, ask purcell. I wasn't there.
[loud, distorted noises]
[screaming]
[skin crackling]
- Why is the secret service interviewing my prisoner?
Why--why are you even interested in this case?
- We have our reasons.
Purcell is--is too freaked out even to admit why
He made the confession.
- Donald shultz was just found dead.
So who would want to hurt these guys?
- Lots of people.
Have you seen their known associates?
Besides, shultz wasn't murdered.
The coroner said he died of a heart attack.
- Right, a totally healthy kid with no history
Of heart trouble.
- I'm not a doctor, and neither are you.
Maybe it was hereditary.
- Look, we did some digging.
Shultz was arrested the same night of the robbery
In illinois for being in a bar fight.
- So he couldn't have done it.
- Shultz had a sheet as long as your arm.
And whether he committed this crime or not,
Purcell did.
Look, this is an election year.
The last thing I need is the two of you
Poking holes in a solid public confession
Where an innocent citizen was murdered.
You talk to my prisoner or my officers again,
I will have you arrested for interfering
With a criminal investigation.
Now go protect the president or something.
- Is it possible that-- - Oh, look.
I have to make a phone call.
- Whatever this thing is, Artie,
It generates major fear.
- Yeah, are there any artifacts that can literally scare
Someone to death?
- Yeah, only-- only hundreds of them.
I mean, it could be anything from the inquisition.
It could be the first failed attempt at skydiving.
The showerhead from psycho.
- Oh, great, another hitchcock artifact.
The guy should have his own section.
- Yeah, w-- [rumbling]
- Artie, any luck with those tremors?
- Yeah, we're working on it. Working on it.
Uh, yeah, tell me more about the physical changes
That h.G. Saw.
That could help narrow it down.
- Well, she saw purcell's face change a bit
And his fingernails recede.
But, uh, she didn't see that much.
- But before that, what did the guy actually look like
When he first went into the station?
- Well, h.G. Got there later,
But I bet they have closed-circuit cameras.
- Yeah, but the d.A. Hates us.
And no, Artie, it's not because of anything I did.
[loud rumbling]
- All right, now, list--listen. I-I-I gotta go.
Keep me posted.
Find a way to get that video.
- Hey, mykes, you know the owner of the mini-mart
That purcell killed?
He had a family, right?
- Yeah.
- Well, if we had a nickel
For every time someone used an artifact for revenge,
We'd have, like, a billion nickels.
And in dollars, that would be, like...
[grunts] Well, in nickels, it w--
- I got it.
So...Great.
You go interview the family,
And I think I know how to get that video.
- This goes like this, right? - Uh--
Uh, care-- careful with that.
- Sorry.
- This building is old and falling apart.
- Yes, we have that in common. Ha ha!
Beat you to it.
- Yes, well, how much shaking can it take?
- Good point. The four of us could take weeks
To find the source.
- Well, you know, the geological survey
Has sensors in the ground at every major fault.
And depending on the intensity of the sensor,
They can determine the epicenter.
- And...
- Why would you have those at the Warehouse?
This is not the san andreas.
Forget I ever said anything. - Uh--
[loud rumbling]
- Oh!
- Claudia! - I don't know why!
- Wh--why what?
- Why--why nothing.
What do you want?
- The artifact removal detection system--
- Oh, yes, repurpose sensors that are already in place.
Of course.
- Then I could boost power to the system,
Make sure it feels every vibration.
- I will overlay the data onto a grid
Of the Warehouse and cross-ref.
- Yeah, that.
- Nice suggestion, doctor.
- Don't get a big head. [rumbling]
I almost got it. [beeping]
I got it, I got it.
- Yukon sector.
It's this way!
How long have you people worked here?
- I'm new.
[creaking and groaning]
[electricity crackling]
- Found it. - My.
- There! - There's the problem.
- What are those? - Expansion joints
For when the Warehouse automatically expands
To make room for artifacts.
For some reason, they're jammed.
I think that's what's causing the tremors.
- Great, well, that explains everything,
Except for the part where you said the Warehouse
Automatically expands.
- That's right. Surprise!
- Hi, Helena.
- Myka, what are you doing here? - Emily?
- I asked you to leave me out of this.
- Helena, it's just that we need help.
There's no-- - Emily, everything okay?
Hi. - Nate.
Adelaide.
Um, this is--
- A dear old friend of emily's
Who she hasn't seen in a long time
And is surprised to see now.
You're a police officer
Or something like the police.
You and emily solved cases together,
And you went on amazing adventures.
- How did you-- - Well, the old friends part
Is obvious from your body language.
The surprise I could just see on emily's face.
So you must be here from out of town.
And knew you were something like police
'cause, well, you're wearing a badge.
- Emily taught her that.
- Ah. [chuckles] - One correction.
There were no amazing adventures.
Myka and I were just roommates
At iowa tech.
- Right.
Crazy days on the quad.
- [chuckles]
- Someday I'm gonna go on amazing adventures.
- Mm-hmm. Come on. - Yes, you will.
- Please come in.
- Adelaide's exceptional. - And so's her father.
He's a solid, normal, kind man.
Yes, he's a civilian.
But that's one of my favorite things about him.
I'm trying something a little...Different right now.
- So how long have you lived here?
- About six months.
- I met nate at a cooking class.
[laughing] No, don't laugh.
Um, and then-- and then adelaide.
Myka, they invited me into their home,
Their lives.
For the first time in over a century,
I feel like--
I feel like I belong.
- So does nate know who you really are?
- I can't very well tell him I'm H.G. Wells,
The 147-year-old father
Of science fiction.
They'd put me away.
- So will you help us?
The cops won't, and we need that video.
- I can't.
Myka, I can't.
- Helena, people are getting hurt.
One's already dead.
And by the way, you called us.
So...
Don't you think you owe it to adelaide
To have one more amazing adventure?
- But the defense, the guy's gotta do something.
Ladies. She supposed to be back here?
This area's off limits to visitors.
- Officer...Curtis,
Uh, I'm sure over the years, you've impressed a lady or two
By giving her a tour of the station.
- Been known to happen.
- Well, uh...
- Oh.
[chuckles] Right.
All right. Rock on, ladies.
- You've been watching Claudia.
- [chuckles] we trade tips.
Okay, we just have to find the moment
Where purcell came into the station,
See what he looked like.
Here. [keyboard clicks]
- Hmm.
It's hard to see any detail.
What about before, in the parking lot?
- Uh... [keyboard clicking]
[eerie music]
Oh, my god, Helena.
[beeping]
[cell phone rings]
Pete, listen to me. I'm putting you on speaker.
It looks like the artifact evolves its victims
Into a primal state.
- Got it. Listen, the victim's family
Wasn't looking for revenge,
But they--they said some cop came by
And creeped them out with his promise
To get them justice.
Said his name was briggs.
- [stammering] briggs, I-I know him.
Uh, back up to before purcell entered.
[keyboard clicking]
[beeping]
There. That's briggs.
- What is he doing?
- Can you push in?
- He had his handcuffs ready.
- He knew purcell was coming in.
- Briggs is our guy.
Pete, our killer with a deadly artifact
Is a cop.
- Secret service! - Detective briggs!
[suspenseful music]
*
- A primal regression artifact
That may not just affect physical appearance.
The brain could devolve as well.
It sounds like you're dealing with something
That is affecting the brain's limbic system.
That is the core of our ancient fight, flight,
Or freeze responses.
- So overwhelming fear,
That's how shultz was scared to death.
- You could be dealing with something--
Something incredibly old,
Even prehistoric.
- Like a piece of cave drawing
Or an arrowhead.
- Be careful.
[electricity crackles, Warehouse rumbles]
It's still happening. Don't ask.
Now, listen, an artifact this old,
It could be extremely powerful,
Including the downside on whoever is using it.
And if his brain is affected too,
Then the artifact could be putting him
Into permanent fight mode,
Which would make him as much predator
As his victims are prey.
And look, I gotta go.
[Farnsworth snaps shut]
- Pete, why does briggs have
All of this info on Helena?
- Hi, there.
Ms. Lake around?
- Don't know yet. You are...?
- Uh, we work together.
Oh, my nephew takes karate.
Boy or girl? - Girl.
And I've been repeatedly told it's called kenpo.
- [chuckles]
She can't be emily's, though, right?
- What's this about?
- I need to get a message to her friends,
The secret service agents.
I figured they knew each other.
Her name isn't emily lake, is it?
What is she, in witness protection?
- All right, what are you talking about?
- You really don't know, do you?
Think about it.
- You need to get off my property right now.
- Tell you what.
You can deliver the message for me.
[artifact roars]
Now, you tell them back off.
Or I will find out who she's hiding from,
And ruin this perfect little life of yours.
[artifact growling]
Ugh!
[grunts] Agh!
- I assure you, detective,
You don't want to know who I am.
I count six ways I could kill you right now.
And the only reason you're still drawing breath
Is because I'm trying so hard not to do
That sort of thing anymore. - [laughing]
Check your boyfriend.
- [gasping hoarsely] - Nate!
Nate.
- [choking]
- It's gonna be okay. Just take deep breaths.
[tires screech]
Myka! It's there.
Put it in the bag, quick!
Quickly, please.
- [choking]
[gasps, breathes forcibly]
- It's all right. It's all right, honey.
- [gasping deeply]
[electricity crackles]
- The Warehouse was designed
To automatically expand to accommodate
The growing collection of artifacts
And their energies.
That's why it was built into the side of this mountain.
- And energy and matter can be converted
Into each other, right?
"e" equals "m-c" squared.
- So it's a self-sustaining system.
- Exactly. Einstein himself created
Those expansion joints.
It sucks energy in. Matter comes out.
- Oh, I get it, so the jammed joints
Are filling with energy,
And with nowhere for the matter to go,
The strain to expand is what's causing the quakes.
We need to stop the flow of energy
Until we can figure out why the joints are jammed.
Right?
- Yeah, it's just,
Most people take a little longer till they're comfortable
Speaking in "freakanese."
- Yeah, but good for you, doctor.
Good for you.
Now, obviously, in here,
Artifact energy is everywhere.
We can't just throw a net over the whole place.
- Well, so what if we found a way to cover
The joints with neutralizer?
Create a barrier that the energy can't get through.
- Yeah, just shoot some goo up there.
I'm so glad Pete's not here.
[loud rumbling] - Oh!
- Yeow!
Wow! That's a great idea, jinksy.
Let's go build us a goo shooter.
- Look for something in the schoningen armory.
[door clangs]
- So we need something that will reach all the way
To the ceiling-- and are you gonna tell me
What's going on, or what?
- Nothing.
Just admiring from afar.
- That's the second time that I've seen you get zapped.
What's up?
- I think the Warehouse is mad at me, okay?
It's been giving me these electric shots
Since we got back from england.
I think it's punishing me because I stabbed
Its "husband" or whatever.
So I figure, probably safer to stay
Outside the explosives aisle, you know.
Why give the old lady any ideas?
- Or maybe this isn't about you,
And it has something to do with this expansion thing?
I-- - I'm sorry.
Is your butt getting joy-buzzered every two minutes?
Is anyone else's? Exactly.
So I'm good back here.
- Okay, so tell Artie.
- With doctor head-shrinker listening in?
No, I don't think so.
They have very strong meds for people
Who think that buildings hate them.
- Wait, wait, you're worried about sounding crazy?
In crazy town?
- See, I got locked up for saying my brother
Was calling me from another dimension.
It didn't help I was right.
- You're lying.
You're not afraid abigail will think you're crazy.
It's something else.
- Oh! Oof.
[screams]
You see that?
Why couldn't we have needed something
From the soft fabrics aisle?
[Farnsworth buzzes]
Jeez. What?
- You find anything yet?
- We are working on it.
- Well, hurry up, because we figured out
What's jamming the joints.
[metal creaking]
- That big nail is doing all of this?
- That's not a big nail. That's a spike.
It's a very powerful spike.
It's from the trans-continental railway.
It draws things together.
- Okay, so the artifact's a jawbone.
Best possible match is this handsome devil,
The giant prehistoric hyena.
Favorite snack was--
Okay, well, us.
It could be that this guy's jawbone
Absorbed power to put people
In a state of primal fear.
- Look, you're saying words,
But none of them actually make any sense.
- I know, nate.
Look, you're not crazy, okay?
We are.
- What do you people do?
And emily, I mean, I thought I knew her.
I want to believe that I know her.
I don't even know her name.
She's lived in my house.
She's been in my bed.
I trusted her with adelaide.
- I know, all right, all right. Pull up.
Pull up, okay?
It's true. She's not who you thought.
- [sighs] - Okay, but she--no, no.
She is so much more.
It's her place to tell you, okay?
Not mine.
But what I can say is
You don't need to be afraid of her.
And no one that I have ever met
Will protect you or your daughter any better.
- Protect us from what?
If we're so safe, why couldn't she tell me
Her real name?
- [sighs]
- Every time the Warehouse and I mix,
Lives are ruined.
It's over.
- Don't you find it strange that you became attached
So quickly to a man with a daughter
Around christina's age?
- Excuse me? - Isn't it possible
That a part of you still wants to get christina back?
- Myka, how could you suggest--
This has got nothing to do with my daughter.
- Helena, I'm sorry,
But I can't help but notice--
- You can take your observational skills,
And you can leave right now.
- You are denying who you are to chase a ghost.
[phone ringing]
This life-- it's not who you are.
- What? No, no, no.
No! Don't you hurt her! Please.
- It's briggs.
He must've flashed his badge
At adelaide's karate school
And convinced them he was there to pick her up.
- Just bring that thing I left,
And everything will be great.
I'll text you and tell you where to meet.
[beep]
Your dad says we can get some ice cream.
- You work with emily?
- Yep. She and your dad are working late,
So they asked me to take care of you.
- I've got lots of homework,
So when can I go home?
- That all depends on emily.
- No, I don't understand.
Why aren't we getting help?
- We are the help, okay?
We're experts.
- At what? What are you an expert at?
- We'll get adelaide back.
- Why should I trust you?
Why should I trust any of you?
You're the ones who took this thing from him.
Just give it back. Give it back to him.
And you bring my daughter home.
- Nate, I-- - Don't.
- I'll talk to him.
- Helena--
- Myka, you-- you were right.
You warned me.
- About what? - I can't have a normal life.
I-I was being foolish.
Selfish.
How can I bring anything but misery to--
- No, that isn't what I meant, Helena.
- I know what I am.
I can't just sit here.
I know what I have to do.
[suspenseful music]
*
- Who are you?
- I'll explain when this is over.
[tires squeal]
- Hey! Hey, Myka! Where are you going?
- I can handle briggs.
Just stay with Helena and nate
And make sure they don't follow me.
- No. No, what--what-- are you nuts?
Just wait for us.
- This is my fault. I dragged her into this.
I'll get adelaide back. It'll be okay.
- Myk--
Wait, briggs.
He was gonna text instructions to your phone.
She took the phone.
- And the artifact.
- So how'd it get up there?
- Well, the attraction between the spike
And that suddenly expanding joint must've been so strong
That the spike just shot up to the ceiling.
Probably the first time that the yukon sector
Has ever expanded.
- We found an old r.P.G. Launcher
And pressure-loaded the shells with neutralizer.
- Behold the gazooka.
- Turning into the goo queen. You know that, right?
- It'll neutralize anything within a 20-foot blast radius.
- Look, look, look.
You're gonna have to be really quick.
As you may recall,
Einstein's whole mass-energy conversion thing,
That's what makes nuclear bombs go boom.
- [exhales]
[breathing heavily]
[booming]
[whoosh]
- Crap. I was so proud of that thing.
That's why you make two.
- I need higher ground.
- Okay, follow me.
Roy frances dived in platform for 40 years.
Frances dived off that thing into a shallow pool of water.
- Jeez, if you ever tell me cirque du soleil uses artifacts,
I'll never forgive you.
- Now, be careful, because this ladder's a death trap.
- Well, don't sugarcoat it for me.
- Go!
- [grunting]
- Careful!
- Oh, oh--whoa!
- Oh!
- Whoa!
Agh. I'm okay.
Oh, but no-- I'm not okay.
- Artie.
It's swelling up fast.
- Steve-- - I'm fine!
Look, I'll find a way down and help Artie.
- You two, you're gonna have to get closer.
You're gonna have to get right under that spike
And try again.
- Just go!
This thing is getting bigger!
- I guess it's just you and me.
[birds chirping]
- She lost someone, didn't she?
- Her daughter.
- Knew it when I met her.
I think it's what drew me to her.
Adelaide and I, we know what loss looks like.
- We're going to find your daughter, nate.
Now. [claps]
He has to have a place near the police station.
Right? Because purcell,
He was still evolving when he ran in,
And we think that this jawbone
Made briggs act like the predator
That it came from.
Which is...
Why I'm studying hyenas.
- Okay, what's she doing?
Looking for clues?
- That's what she does.
- Makes more sense than what you said.
[camera clicks]
- Nate.
I'm so sorry. I-I-I promise you that.
- Find anything?
- Yeah, yeah.
I have, uh, a shoe print,
Um, from a hiking shoe,
And from the lack of wear, I'd say they're brand new.
Not sure what--oh, hello.
Yeah, it's a price tag.
There's no store name.
- Hiking?
Near the station.
- What?
- Pete said he might have a place
Near the station.
There's a camping goods store there.
I pass it when I drop you off at work.
It just went out of business.
- Well done, nate.
We think we know where he took her.
- Crap. - What is it?
- Hyenas.
They hunt in packs, right?
One lures the prey into the trap,
Where the other is waiting to attack.
That's how briggs got back to the police station
Before purcell.
- Briggs isn't working alone.
He's got a partner.
- And Myka doesn't know that.

- Detective, I have the jawbone.
Look, I don't want any trouble.
Okay?
I just want to take adelaide home.
- Reach for your gun slowly.
And slide it over to me.
- Look, you have what you want.
Let adelaide go.
You're the one who killed shultz.
- Shultz died of a heart attack.
But he was just another loser
Making this city a dangerous place
To live in.
You don't care. You don't live here.
Good people afraid to leave their houses at night,
While killers get off on technicalities.
This let us do something about it!
- That has turned you int--
Look, I'm just here for adelaide.
She's just a kid.
She's not a part of this, so just let her go.
- No, you will try and stop us.
I-I can't let either of you go.
You didn't know that that was a part of the plan, did you?
Listen to me, briggs, okay?
That jawbone, it messes with your head, okay?
It makes you do things.
You used to be a good cop. I can tell.
- I'm still a good cop.
- Good cops don't kill little kids!
- Shut up! - Shultz was innocent too!
Did you know that? Yeah. He was arrested in another state
On the night of the murder.
He knows. Ask him.
- Is that true?
- Shultz was guilty of plenty
We never caught him for.
He got what he deserved.
- And when were you gonna tell me all of that?
- [grunts]
[groans]
Get her, or she'll burn both of us!
[electricity crackling]
- You're gonna have to do this.
- What? No, no, no, no.
I--look, I get that you don't like me.
- Why would you say that? - Really?
- Okay, I know why you say that.
But I honestly think you'd be safer in there than I would.
- Why?
- Because the Warehouse has been electrocuting me for days,
And if I go in there, it'll kill me.
- Claudia, if the Warehouse has been attacking you,
Why haven't you told anybody?
- [sighs]
Because the regents won't make me caretaker
If they find out.
They think I have this special connection
To the Warehouse,
But how can I have a connection
If the Warehouse hates me?
And I just barely realized
I want to be caretaker.
I want it a lot.
And I couldn't tell Artie with you around
Because you work for the regents.
It's your job to tell them what you think of us.
- Okay, I'm gonna stop you right there,
Because clearly, we don't have a lot of time.
First, I am not a snitch.
Second, if you have this special connection,
Did you ever consider that maybe the Warehouse
Is trying to get your attention?
And maybe zapping you is its way
Of asking you for help.
- You really think that's it?
- How the hell do I know?
But if you want to be the caretaker so badly,
Go care-take!
- All right!
You wanted my attention? You got it.
You want my help?
Then let me in!
Otherwise, if you want to kill me,
Here's your chance.
[sudden quiet]
[breathing softly]
[mystical music]
*
Well, that wasn't so hard, was it?
[dramatic music]
*
[metal creaking]
- [laughing]
[upbeat music]
*
- Now, that's a caretaker.
- I'm gonna need a silkwood shower.
- [laughs]
[suspenseful music]
*
- Briggs is mine.
- Hey, hey.
No killing.
Myka will be super pissed.
- [sighs]
- It's over, hofgren.
I said it's over!
- Pete.
- [groaning]
- I did warn you, detective.
- Agh!
[grunts]
- Myka. Are you okay?
- I'm all right.
Listen, adelaide is in the back room.
Yeah, I think that you should be the one to go get her.
- Take care of this for me, will you?
- Good luck.
[both grunting]
- Agh! - Ugh!
No!
[artifact snarling]
[screaming]
- [screams]
- [gasping]
No caveman jokes.
- I will not agree to that.
- Oh, come on. - [laughs]
- Adelaide?
- Emily! - Oh!
Come here.
- Oh. - God.
Bravo, my girl. Bravo.
Exactly as I would have done.
And my name is Helena.
- [laughs]
- What made you think the Warehouse
Was trying to get my attention?
- Something Artie told me about Leena,
That she "spoke Warehouse."
Thought maybe it was trying to talk to you.
You haven't had much positive experience
With therapy, have you?
- When I got electroshock therapy,
One of the gator clips was marked positive.
That count?
- I only use those on my car.
- [snickers]
- Look, I'm here to help. Or not.
Up to you.
- Hey, crazy question.
What--what kind of shampoo do you use?
- Nothing special. Why?
- [sniffs]
Weird. Thought I smelled apples.
- So is anyone gonna get me down from here?
- Oh, my god, that's my best friend.
- [laughs]
- Everybody seems okay.
- Well, adelaide's safe.
That's the main thing.
As for nate and myself...
Who knows?
- Right, well, good luck, okay?
'cause I really want to believe
There's an alternate Warehouse retirement plan.
So, you know, get in there
And book a win for all of us.
- I will do my very best not to let you down.
- Counting on you.
- [laughs]
[sighs]
So is this good-bye?
- Well, I would assume not.
- Fight for him.
I was wrong when I said that you weren't being
True to yourself.
Maybe I was just afraid of losing a friend.
But caring for someone--
You're obviously very good at it,
So make this--
Make this your home.
- Thank you.
And--and you will never lose this friend.
- [laughs] good.
[pop ballad]
*
So I guess I will see you around.
- Until then. - Right.
Ugh.
[clears throat]
- Maybe just coffee next time.
- Or save the world.
See what happens.
