COMBUSTION.
HE CAN LITERALLY COOK
YOU FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
FROM THE LOOK OF HIS RAP
SHEET, IT DOESN'T TAKE MUCH
TO GET HIM
TO USE IT EITHER.
WELL, BECAUSE THE GUY'S
A COLD-BLOODED KILLING MACHINE.
AND ECKHART'S
USING HIM BECAUSE HE
CAN'T AFFORD TO LET THE WORD
GET OUT ABOUT THE
EXISTENCE OF NEW MUTANTS
ANY MORE THAN WE CAN.
YEAH, I MEAN,
WE WANT THE SAME THING,
BUT WE'RE NOT THE ONES
HIRING THIS MICROWAVE
WARRIOR TO KEEP THE
REST OF THE WORLD IN LINE.
TRUE.
ALRIGHT, SO HAVE YOU
BEEN MONITORING PROXY BLUE?
SO FAR,
NOTHING NEW.
BUT IT'S WHAT SHE'S
NOT REPORTING THAT'S
GOT ME A LITTLE NERVOUS.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
WELL,
PROXY DOESN'T HAVE
ANY NEW INFORMATION,
BUT IT'S AS IF SHE'S
TAUNTING HER INFORMANTS
TO COME FORWARD.
ALRIGHT, WELL,
IF THAT'S THE CASE,
THEN I'M BETTING THAT
SHE DOESN'T HAVE THE DISC YET.
HOW DOES MACKLIN
EXPORTERS FIT IN?
HUH.
WE HAVE NO IDEA.
WHY DON'T YOU
DIG INTO THE DATABASE,
SEE WHAT YOU CAN FIND OUT?
JAY,
I NEED YOU TO CONCENTRATE.
CAN YOU THINK OF ANYTHING
THAT MIGHT BE HELPFUL?
DID YOU OVERHEAR
ANY CONVERSATIONS?
HOW ABOUT WHEN YOU LEFT
FOR WORK THIS MORNING?
THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING.
THOSE PEOPLE WERE MY
FRIENDS, NOW THEY'RE DEAD.
THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
JAY,
WOULD YOU JUST FOCUS!
ALRIGHT, BRENNAN,
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT FOR ME?
NOTHING, SO FAR.
WELL, YOU THINK
HE'S HOLDING BACK?
I DON'T KNOW, IT'S HARD TO SAY.
ALRIGHT, WELL, I'VE GOT
JESSE AND EMMA DIGGING UNDER
THE SKIN OF MACKLIN EXPORTERS,
BUT IT'S NOT EASY CONSIDERING
LANCHESTER TORCHED THE PLACE.
ALRIGHT.
I'LL SEE IF I
CAN FIND OUT ANYTHING.
ALRIGHT, JAY.
THIS IS WHAT I NEED FROM YOU.
A LIST OF NAMES OF
ALL YOUR FORMER CO-WORKERS.
I ONLY STARTED TO WORK
THERE A COUPLE WEEKS AGO.
YOU JUST TOLD ME
THEY WERE YOUR FRIENDS.
YEAH, THEY WERE MY FRIENDS.
SO JUST CAUSE I DON'T
REMEMBER THEIR LAST NAMES...
I'M NOT LYING.
NO, OF COURSE NOT.
IN ORDER TO LIE,
YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO
TELL US SOMETHING.
SO FAR, YOU'VE
GIVEN US NOTHING.
IT'S ALL MY ID.
IF YOU WANT IT,
CHECK OUT MY APARTMENT,
YOU'LL SEE I"M
TELLING THE TRUTH.
AND THERE'S A LIST
OF AL THE OTHER EMPLOYEES
ON MY REFRIGERATOR.
ALRIGHT.
I'LL BE BACK.
AM I GOING TO DIE?
NO.
YOU'RE GOING TO BE OKAY HERE.
PLACE IS CLEAN.
NO SIGN OF THE DISC ANYWHERE.
MAYBE THIS MINHOUSE CHARACTER
WAS TELLING THE TRUTH AFTER ALL.
EITHER WAY,
HE DOESN'T GET A FREE RIDE.
HE'S A WITNESS, WHICH MEANS
HE'S A LOOSE THREAD WHICH
DESPERATELY NEEDS TO BE PULLED.
AH, HE'S BOUND TO SCREW UP,
TRY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH A
GIRLFRIEND, HIS MOTHER, SOMEBODY
WHO MEANS SOMETHING TO HIM.
WE FOUND HIS ADDRESS BOOK, WE'RE
SEARCHING FOR HIS NEXT OF KIN.
GOOD.
IT'S TIME TO SEND HIM A MESSAGE.
YES, IT WILL BE THE LAST
MESSAGE HE'LL EVER RECEIVE.
OTHERWISE,
MR. LANCHESTER, IT WILL
BE YOUR NECK ON THE LINE.
MANAGED TO SCROUNGE
UP A FEW THINGS.
I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU'RE HUNGRY.
YOU REALLY DIDN'T HAVE
TO GO TO THE TROUBLE.
YEAH, I DID.
I'M...
SORRY I CAME DOWN ON
YOU LIKE THAT BEFORE.
THAT'S OKAY.
I KIND OF LIKED IT.
SO THIS DISC CAN REALLY MAKE
YOUR LIVES MISERABLE, HUH?
YOU HAVE NO IDEA.
I MEAN,
IT COULD COMPLETELY
FORCE US UNDERGROUND,
AND WE'RE PRETTY MUCH
CUT OFF FROM THE REST
OF THE WORLD AS IT IS.
THAT'S GOT TO BE ROUGH,
HAVING TO LIVE A LIFE
OF SECLUSION LIKE THIS.
I DON'T KNOW.
I'VE BEEN DOING
IT FOR SO LONG,
I GUESS I KIND OF
NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT.
WELL, WHY CAN'T YOU JUST
COME OUT ON YOUR OWN?
SHOW THE WORLD
WHO YOU ARE, AND JUST,
YOU KNOW,
KIND OF TAKE IT FROM THERE.
YOU CAN'T HIDE FOREVER.
WELL,
I DON'T KNOW IF THE REST
OF THE WORLD IS READY
TO ACCEPT US YET.
HM.
WELL,
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE
REST OF THE WORLD, BUT...
I BET I COULD.
WHERE YOU
HIDING MINHOUSE?
WHAT DIFFERENCE
DOES IT MAKE?
YOU CHECKED
HIS PLACE, HE'S CLEAN.
HAND HIM OVER NOW,
I MIGHT NOT HURT YOU.
OKAY,
LET ME THINK ABOUT THAT.
UH... NO.
YOU SURE YOU
WANT TO DO THAT?
DON'T YOU THINK
WE'VE HAD ENOUGH
