00:08Previously on Sexuality
00:11There's only one reason you would have taken this risk
00:13To risk her
00:14Her life is in your hands, Helen
00:16I don't think you want to lose her over something as easily accessible as her own blood
00:20The cabal started infiltrating businesses
00:23Military think tanks
00:25All under their control
00:26Holy crap
00:28Yeah, I mean these guys are one James Bond film away from global domination
00:33So stealing their property
00:34No, no, no, no, wouldn't I go for well
00:36I'd be careful what you do next
00:39The people I work for aren't a forgiving type
00:42The climb
00:45Will come
00:53This case study shows an enlarged hypothalamus
00:57Nearly twice the size of a normal human
00:59Such increased scale is often the first indicator of abnormal abilities
01:03Which is why detailed brain mapping is often our best recourse when diagnosing new patients
01:10And now in this situation the patient was able to lower her body temperature to well below life-sustaining levels
01:16for days at a time
01:19Such examples of this simple genetic mutation are part of a larger scale trend we're seeing worldwide
01:26More appearances of extraordinary genetic abilities are cropping up at an ever-increasing rate
01:31Excuse me
01:47Miss Cusey
01:48An urgent matter has come up
01:51Can we take a short recess
02:08Helen Magnus
02:11Kiss me and I'll save your life
02:14And if I don't
02:16It's been over 60 years
02:17Just plant one on me already
02:23Nikola Tesla
02:25You always did know how to get attention
02:27And you're still boring as ever when it comes to giving a lecture
02:29But to business
02:31Cabal agents are all over the building
02:32If we don't leave now
02:33Things are going to get rather bullet-ridden
02:35Then why should I believe you?
02:39Assume you have a plan other than kissing me?
02:41Genius
02:41Remember?
02:49Beauty before brains
02:59Charming
03:00I know
03:01It's part of a 200-year-old system of catacombs underneath the city
03:05I'm assuming there are other exits further on
03:07Should be
03:07My contact said there would be
03:09Contact?
03:10Concierge at my hotel
03:11Don't you love Rome?
03:20Give me thermal imaging of these tunnels ASAP
03:23Make sure every possible exit is covered
03:25They either surrender or they die
03:27What else?
03:30What else would they do?
03:39Go
03:53Go
03:55Go
04:02Hey, big man.
04:04Didn't we have a staff meeting scheduled for this morning?
04:07Uh, it was canceled.
04:09When?
04:10Last night.
04:13Because...
04:13Ashley.
04:14Okay, look.
04:16Just because Magnus is away does not mean we stop going about business as usual.
04:20I mean, she put me in charge, and, you know, I want to take that very seriously.
04:24So, we've got patients to discuss, possible cases that need investigating, and, you know, other stuff that needs attention.
04:31Meetings are boring.
04:35Yeah.
04:36Yeah, they really are, aren't they?
04:43Okay, I'm cool with that. No meeting.
04:48So, uh, what do you guys do when you got the place to yourself?
04:53You got poker night, maybe a little blackjack, you got blast some tunes in the main library or something?
04:58Henry's in the lab.
05:00Squid requested a meeting with Ashley, and I'm making things look nice.
05:10Perhaps you have some work that needs attending, too.
05:17What the hell was that?
05:19I don't know.
05:21Shall I look into it?
05:23If you don't mind, because I actually do have some work I need to do.
05:36I'm not really in charge here, am I?
05:45Right.
05:53Squid!
05:54Got you some treats?
05:56Gotta say, I was surprised to get your message.
05:58I, uh, thought you said you didn't have any info for me.
06:02Squid!
06:16No, you're kidding me.
06:19No, you're kidding me.
06:33through here
06:36aren't the ring pissed at you what did you do
06:38stole three witches from a crypt in scotland
06:40stealing you i'm appalled
06:42shut up and help me
06:43my god you look sexy with a gun
06:51leave her alone
06:59nicola that's enough
07:08well that was exciting huh
07:10a little too much so
07:12you haven't stopped taking your medication have you
07:14no no no i just i just got a little excited
07:19come on helen i don't feed on humans
07:22i made that vow long ago and i intend to keep it
07:42your favorite power trick
07:44this way milady
07:46you haven't lost your touch
07:47i'll give you that
07:57any idea what could have done this
07:59many ideas
08:01none that makes sense
08:02yeah i guess none of the abnormals magnus allows to roam free would do this
08:06not if they wish to remain free
08:09crap in a bag what the hell did that
08:11just asking the same question
08:14scratch marks on the floor and walls plus damage on the inside to the electrical wiring
08:19whatever did this took live voltage
08:21maybe it's lying in the corner somewhere looking at swoons
08:23the problem is there's lots of corners in this place
08:26all our residents accounted for
08:28security systems would have gone off if something got free from the shoe
08:31still let's round up all the abnormals that are free and interview them
08:34i'll check security logs see if anything went goofy with the system
08:36okay plus if you have surveillance camera footage for this floor that'd be great
08:40on it
09:02come on there'll be more where they came from this is fun isn't it just like old times back in
09:07london
09:08i love that 42 43 i prefer not to think about it
09:11come on helen every major spy agency in the world was looking for me i needed your help
09:17and besides what's a fake death among friends
09:21whose harebrained notion was it to supply every allied government with plans for your death ray weapon
09:26well i thought they'd all share and that peace would break out
09:28i did i had my nobel speech all memorized
09:36the sector's clear let's move on
09:40how did you know the cabal were after me
09:43i watched them and they watched me
09:46we've had a few entanglements over the years but you know i've never done anything so stupid as to
09:50actually steal from them
09:52i've had my contacts keeping near to the ground for any cabal movement since they attacked my sanctuary
09:57i would know beforehand if they were going to make a move on me here in fact
10:02they didn't show up until after you arrived
10:05they're not after me are they they want you
10:10you haven't lost your touch either
10:25okay you can come out and gloat now if you want i'm awake
10:29there'll be no gloating i find that extremely ill-mannered
10:36well what's your next move then
10:38you're gonna teleport me to the top of the eiffel tower and leave me hanging by my underpants
10:42are you gonna make it fast
10:44neither
10:46then what the hell do you want from me
10:47honestly
10:51i need your help
10:52you have a kind of violent way of asking for help fyi
10:57i wish you no harm
11:00it was urgent that we speak
11:02and i'm listening let the insanity fly
11:04of course that's what you'd think of me
11:06that i'm unstable
11:09deranged
11:09that's pretty much what i call everybody who feeds me to lizard creatures
11:12but i can be a bit harsh sometimes
11:14ashley
11:15what happened before was
11:18deeply regrettable
11:21i apologize for my actions without reservation
11:26i can only ask for your forgiveness
11:28there are things you need to know
11:31about your mother
11:34she's in grave danger
11:36dude she's my mom she's always in grave danger
11:39please ashley there's little time
11:41i need to know where she is
11:44me handcuffed to a chair
11:46you babbling about time and danger
11:50no i don't see why i should help you
11:52i would like nothing more than to free you
11:57but you would undoubtedly try to kill me
12:01me
12:04did your mother not give you some sort of explanation as to who i was
12:07she told me you were someone from her days back in london before she set up shop here
12:14oh oh and that she was pretty sure you'd never return because
12:18she killed you
12:22trust me i'll be speaking to her about that talk about a blown call
12:25you don't have time for this
12:27my sole purpose in bringing you here is for your own benefit as well as hers
12:31you'll have to trust me
12:41you've always been reckless
12:42you were contacting me directly while the cabal was following you
12:45oh i know it's not one of my best ideas but here i had no choice
12:48i needed to see you
12:50then use the proper channels
12:52contact one of my facilities and have them arrange a secure location
12:55would you rather have me endanger one of your sanctuaries or just you
12:58oh neither
12:58nicola you dropped out of sight before the end of world war ii
13:01you have to be seen or heard from again
13:02well i did die a lonely impoverished pitiful old man
13:05thanks for the funeral by the way i heard it was quite nice
13:08i faked your death to save your life so that your work could continue
13:10i think i've learned an explanation as to your whereabouts since then
13:13hey perfecting the use of electricity and radio waves
13:16hard acts to follow okay
13:18but i have kept busy
13:19and at oxford all those years ago what we did was more than just pushing boundaries for me
13:23it was personal as it was for all of us
13:29you all changed
13:31whereas i found out who i really am
13:34and the more i embrace that
13:36the more i realize just how little i've accomplished
13:39your gifts to the world will live on long after you die
13:43whenever you actually die
13:44you think you can call this existence living
13:47the cabal haunt me at every turn
13:50but why
13:51you've been underground for decades
13:53we both know the cabal only go after what they perceive to be of value
13:58or a threat
14:13pull our people back
14:15get these guys out of here
14:17i want the lrad down here and set up in three minutes
14:19yes sir
14:27another one
14:28it's the second attack in two hours
14:30i never saw what it was
14:33it came from to see him
14:35oh move way too fast
14:38what about uh
14:39him did he see anything
14:41no
14:41i was
14:42i was
14:44he was meditating
14:46when it happened
14:49if it's in the elevator system
14:51yeah
14:51it can get to anywhere in the sanctuary
14:55all right let's get into the infirmary
14:56and then we'll
14:57meet up at henry's lap
14:58okay
14:59one
14:59two
15:00three
15:03footage of the first two attacks came up empty
15:05likely because whatever it is shorted out the power to the surveillance systems before it struck
15:11yeah but we should have caught something in the camera in the elevator
15:13yeah have no look
15:17you okay
15:18yeah it's just a flu going around now i'm fine
15:37wow
15:39whatever it is it's damn fast
15:42uh can you slow it down and enhance the image
15:51yes but take the safety off first
15:54i'm fine
15:57you have fever
15:59you should rest
16:00nah i can hack it
16:01no no maybe the big guy's right you should get some rest
16:04but listen before you go um can you bring up the footage of the corridors above and below where the
16:09attack
16:10let him rest
16:11he'll work later
16:14okay
16:14well just show me how to access the footage you're not allowed
16:17he's going to rest now
16:20oh okay
16:22get better
16:25why would the cabal see you as a threat
16:28i'm a vampire
16:29some people are threatened by that
16:31only part nicola
16:33pure blood vampires were wiped out centuries ago
16:35besides you alone are not enough to make the cabal this angry
16:39what's really going on
16:40the ancient ones
16:42they were intelligent
16:44gifted
16:44powerful
16:47until a bunch of church folk decided that our race was impure
16:51evil
16:52and not only did they hunt them down
16:54kill them off
16:55but they turned our species into a cultural joke
16:58ancient vampires were the caesars
17:00the pharaohs of civilization
17:02humans were enslaved
17:03they rose up with good reason
17:04if the world knew the truth
17:05humans were conquered because we were smarter and stronger
17:09and when vampires ruled the world it was a golden age
17:12science, art, architecture all advanced
17:15and after they killed them off what happened
17:18the dark ages
17:19and now people think that we're allergic to garlic
17:21and that we can turn into bats at will
17:24it's beyond insulting
17:27this way
17:30sir all teams have been pulled back
17:33good
17:38let's clean them out
17:43as though a vial of stale water blessed by some priest
17:47would have any other effect than a bad taste of my
17:50earthquake
17:51of course
18:04nicola
18:05nicola
18:22i want to suck your blood
18:26get down from there
18:34irony is
18:35i once owned the patent to that weapon
18:37i never should have sold it to edison
18:40cheapskate that he was
18:41do you think this is funny
18:44tricking me into helping you with whatever game you're playing with a cabal
18:48i don't appreciate being put in a line of fire
18:50helen
18:51you've always been like this haven't you
18:52selfish and arrogant putting your own desires before everyone else's
18:56i brought you here for two reasons
18:58because only you can help me finish what i'm working on and because i love you
19:02yes so you keep
19:04what
19:06i always have
19:10more than that lunatic druid ever did
19:16i misled you and i deeply apologize for that but i had to see you
19:21you're serious aren't you
19:31we knew each other in london your mother and i when we were young
19:37in fact we were rather close
19:39see now i know you're full of crap
19:41because she's 158 years old
19:43first off she's 157
19:46and i get that she's special it's some sort of accident of her genetic makeup
19:51but the chances of two people having the same defect
19:54i'm much higher if it's no accident
19:57yes sir
20:06this is tiniest
20:11can we talk here
20:13what are you doing
20:16what are you doing
20:17oh my god
20:19oh no stop it
20:22as i said this is a time i need to know where heaven is
20:32you knew how to disable the motion detectors
20:37made us blind on purpose
20:41it's that intelligent
20:43The most dangerous things are...
20:48Hey, check this out.
20:51A scale.
20:53Looks almost reptilian.
20:56You think it's still here?
20:59Unlikely.
21:14Dizepam.
21:15It's a garden-variety sedative.
21:17Treats everything from insomnia to seizures.
21:25Looks like whatever did this wanted something badly.
21:30What kind of abnormal has the ferocity and power of a wild animal?
21:36Combined with the cunning and intellect of a human.
21:41Other than, you know, you.
21:48Back at Oxford, the others used the source for power and for greed, but you...
21:54You altered yourself out of a pure desire for knowledge.
22:02You're the only scientist.
22:04Perhaps the only person I've ever really admired.
22:08Come on.
22:12This picture was taken by...
22:14Henry Salbot.
22:17Southampton.
22:191880, uh...
22:21Something, I forget the exact date.
22:23Where did you get this?
22:24A gift.
22:25From your mother.
22:27While we were both at Oxford.
22:30Though she was just auditing courses in those days, no women were allowed to enroll.
22:37A rule she railed against with a vengeance, believe me.
22:40You were college buddies with my mom.
22:43Yes, at first.
22:45Things became more serious between us later.
22:47Okay, dude, you have to stop referring to my mom as your ex, or seriously, I will kill you.
22:51Hmm.
22:57We were a part of something.
22:59Something we called the Five.
23:02A small group dedicated to expanding our knowledge of the physical world by the most unconventional means.
23:08How can you be old like her?
23:10Well, unlike what you've been told, the one that was not born with a genetic abnormality.
23:14Now she chose to become something different.
23:16We all did.
23:19I was so curious to know what humans could become.
23:22Evolve into.
23:24Given the chance.
23:26Who were the others?
23:28Who were the others?
23:28Well, beside your mother and myself, it was Nigel Griffin, Sir James Watson, and Nicola Tesla.
23:36As in the...
23:38Yes, the same.
23:40I still say he leeched off Edison and cheated Marconi.
23:46But I digress.
23:49Have you heard of the species Sanguine Vampiris?
23:53They are vampire.
23:55They're extinct.
23:57Not quite.
23:58They were all but exterminated by the church centuries ago.
24:01Those who lived through the purges were made sterile.
24:05Your mother was able to procure a very rare sample of ancient, untainted vampire blood.
24:12One that was collected before the sterilization of the species was carried out.
24:16Blood that supposedly possessed miraculous properties.
24:20No one had ever dared inject pure Sanguine Vampiris.
24:24Until your mother derived a serum from it.
24:29It's ready.
24:30You don't have to go first.
24:32Jon or I could have a go to start.
24:34He's right.
24:35No need for unnecessary heroics.
24:37The side effects are completely unknown.
24:40Thank you, gentlemen.
24:42But this experiment was of my design.
24:45I shall be the one to prove its worth.
24:47Helen.
24:49You're certain?
24:51We've risked too much to turn back now.
24:55We need to know.
25:01You may proceed, Nicola.
25:03Let's go.
25:16I miss you.
25:18You're scared.
25:20You're scared.
25:22I guess they'll come.
25:22I guess they'll come.
25:24I guess it was the only thing.
25:24No.
25:24You're very scared.
25:24No.
25:32Wait a minute.
25:35She's part vampire?
25:36No.
25:38She's human.
25:40And so much more.
25:42After each of us was injected,
25:44we received unique gifts as a result.
25:48Yeah.
25:48I've seen yours in action, thanks.
25:50Griffin's molecules became photosensitive.
25:53Watson's mind grew to new heights.
25:55And Tesla's reaction was the most dramatic.
25:58His genetic disposition brought forth vampiric traits
26:02which had laid dormant in his genes.
26:06But your mother?
26:09Well, her gift was the most simple and elegant.
26:15It's as though whatever's doing this can just disappear.
26:19Yeah, but there's nothing like that living here.
26:21That we know of.
26:22Could be one of our residents who's manifesting a new power.
26:25I don't know.
26:26Who?
26:27I thought it was star of a fever.
26:30An old wives' tale.
26:41You need nourishment.
26:43Oh, is that a mushroom?
26:45Yeah.
26:47Eat.
26:49So, were you down there recently?
26:51Where?
26:52Storage.
26:54I don't remember.
26:55I get around a lot in a day.
26:57When did that happen?
27:00Oh, that?
27:01I did that yesterday, moving some equipment in the lab.
27:04Why?
27:06Oh, we found some fresh blood on one of the boxes in the storage.
27:11Creatures?
27:12I don't know.
27:13With you out of commission and Magnus away, I haven't been able to run a detailed analysis.
27:16Well, when she gets back, I'm sure she'll get to the bottom of it.
27:22I'm just thinking, if the blood is yours, we can eliminate it as evidence.
27:26Listen, dude, seriously.
27:28I don't remember being down there.
27:29Will, he must rest.
27:33What was the piece of equipment in your lab that cut you?
27:35I don't know, Will.
27:37Something sharp.
27:38Did Magnus order a restock of dizepam?
27:39What?
27:40Will.
27:43Go.
27:46Sorry.
27:54Bravo and Delta teams close in from altered exit points.
27:57Yes, sir.
28:04I feel so safe when I'm with you.
28:06Quiet.
28:10We're going to have to fight our way out of here.
28:12No killing.
28:14So the woman with the gun to the vampire.
28:17Just follow my lead.
28:19It won't be necessary.
28:21I, for one, don't intend to get captured or killed.
28:23You won't.
28:24What do you mean?
28:34The playing field just got leveled.
28:42Bravo teams, check in.
28:45All teams, report.
28:47Watch for it.
28:49Let's do it next to you.
29:22Oh my god, what did this?
29:25It's not so much the what as the why that counts.
29:32This is your project, isn't it?
29:35This is what you've been working on.
29:36Tonight, you get to witness the rebirth of the greatest abnormal that ever walked the earth.
29:49My god, Nicola, what have you done?
29:53Welcome to the future.
29:58I realize you need time to process all this.
30:04That isn't a luxury that we have.
30:09I like your story. It's a nice story.
30:13Tesla's intent on making contact with your mother.
30:17Imminently.
30:19Now, whatever you may think of me, of the five, he's easily the most dangerous.
30:23Good twist. Not enough.
30:25Ashley.
30:29I am not your enemy.
30:32Not anymore.
30:34Baldy, you invaded our house.
30:36You fed me to a giant iguana.
30:38If that's not enough to make you my enemy, then what the hell is?
30:41I was wrong to try to reason with you.
30:43You're incapable of seeing the truth.
30:44What truth?
30:46That you have no concept of the meaning of your work.
30:51You just shoot, maim, and capture whatever mummy tells you, without a single regard for the consequences of your actions.
31:00That is not true.
31:01You're a killer, all right?
31:03You live for the thrill of the hunt.
31:05The exquisite rush of that moment of violence.
31:09You find it utterly intoxicating.
31:12I know the feeling very well, my son.
31:15I am nothing like you!
31:18Oh, you'd like nothing more than to kill me.
31:22Resurrect your wounded pride.
31:26Get some blood in your hands.
31:27The only reason you haven't really tried is because you aren't sure if you can pull it off.
31:35We don't have time.
31:37We have to go.
31:41I'm appealing to your judgment.
31:44To your intuition.
31:46I want you to think, not just act.
31:50See, I brought you here to help you, Ashley.
31:53Give you the chance to make a choice.
31:59To show you a world your mother has kept hidden from you, don't turn away from it.
32:04Trust me.
32:05Help me save your mother.
32:09What the hell are they?
32:11Well, in a very basic sense, they're me.
32:15You found a way to revive the species.
32:16Could I use my own altered DNA to turn a boring old homo sapien into a higher, more evolved species?
32:37And the answer is so simple.
32:44It will make you cry.
32:49Watch.
33:17What does Tesla want with my mom?
33:20Tesla's intent on creating an army of deadly creatures.
33:23Topple the cabal once and for all.
33:27Well, Helen will undoubtedly refuse his offer to join him in his efforts.
33:31And when she does, he will kill her.
33:37How do you know all this?
33:38Because he came to me first.
33:45My last encounter with your mother did indeed leave me close to death.
33:49But Tesla found me.
33:51Revived me.
33:54And when I refused him...
33:59Well...
34:00I think quite like electroshock therapy to clear the mind.
34:04My God.
34:04And the rage that once fueled me is gone.
34:11I'm whole once again.
34:19Together, we can save her.
34:23But I need to know where she is.
34:27I am your only hope.
34:30Please.
34:33I need to make things right.
34:38For you.
34:41For her.
34:46Well, thanks for joining the party.
34:51Now, uh...
34:52Go join the others.
34:56See, the cool thing about me using my own DNA to reanimate the dead is...
35:01They do.
35:03Whatever I say.
35:05They're practically mindless.
35:07I know.
35:08They're fast, vicious, strong, but they're as dumb as tree stumps.
35:13Which defeats the whole purpose of the project.
35:16You want me to help you make them intelligent?
35:18This is the culmination of everything we stood for as the Five.
35:22Pushing boundaries.
35:24Exploring realms of science that other people were afraid to.
35:27Just imagine.
35:33Sanguine vampiris.
35:37Reborn.
35:39They would only enslave us again.
35:41Well, I don't think human beings are doing such a good job of it right now, do you?
35:46Hmm?
35:47You and I could usher in a new golden age of thought and culture and peace.
35:56You're mad, Nicola.
35:57No!
35:59The Philadelphia experiment was mad.
36:03But this...
36:04is progress.
36:08Dude, I am not a shapeshifter.
36:10What about the treatments you've been undergoing with Magnus, which are so secret I'm not even allowed to know about
36:15them?
36:15That's personal.
36:16And I respect that.
36:17But I need to know what's been attacking people around here.
36:20I just want to rule this out.
36:22And you're just going to have to take my word for it.
36:24Covering this up, Henry, is only going to make it worse.
36:26I can help you.
36:27But if someone else is attacking...
36:28Get out, Will.
36:29I mean it.
36:32Go.
36:38We all know...
36:40the abnormals are on the rise.
36:43And now, we just need somebody to lead them.
36:47You.
36:50Us.
36:56You saw...
36:58how my mini-me's handled those trackers earlier tonight.
37:02Now, just imagine.
37:03An army of them.
37:04But massively intelligent.
37:07You and I could give the cabal...
37:14Ouch.
37:18Get her.
37:32Easy.
37:33Easy.
37:34Easy.
37:36Oh, my God.
38:19Henry.
38:23Why didn't you just tell me?
38:26He didn't want anyone to know.
38:29And I promised him no one would.
38:34Henry.
38:36Just lie still.
38:41Can we be certain they came down here?
38:46Definitely one of Mom's.
38:48She always carries a gun.
38:51Good reason.
38:54Not yet.
38:58Not yet.
39:02Back off.
39:11Helen.
39:15Nice shooting.
39:18I thought you loved me.
39:21Did I?
39:27I don't think it's going to work out.
39:31Well, I guess I can tell you that at Oxford, no one liked you.
39:38Oh.
39:39Was it because I was a genius?
39:41No.
39:42Because you were an obnoxious ass.
39:47Well.
39:49Guess who's still standing?
39:54John.
39:56Hello, Nicola.
40:03John.
40:04What the hell are you doing?
40:06Saving your life.
40:07Why?
40:09You've had a long night, Helen.
40:11I'm simply glad to see you safe and sound.
40:14The blood I gave you.
40:16It should have crippled you.
40:17Or worse.
40:18It did.
40:20Then how?
40:27Ashley can explain.
40:38Hey, how are you feeling?
40:40Fine.
40:41Just want to let you know we, uh, we chased that snake creature to the basement warehouse.
40:48Looks like it hatched inside of one of the artifacts that Magnus brought back from the Amazon a few months
40:54ago.
40:55Must have escaped and grown to full maturity inside the walls here.
41:05Listen, I was a jerk.
41:08I just didn't think what it must be like to carry this around with you.
41:14I'm sorry.
41:27And hey, uh, thanks for saving my ass.
41:42You're welcome.
41:44You're welcome.
42:17He's my father, isn't he?
42:21Yes.
42:37Never shown you Rome, have I?
42:42There was never time.
42:47I have a lot to make up for.
42:48I have a lot to make up for.
42:51Shall we?
43:05Yeah.
43:31Do you?
43:50I have a lot to make up for.
