HEY, LOOK, UNTIL I GET
THE WORLD WE STAY PUT.
AND THAT'S THAT.
HEY, SPEEDY,
WAS I TALKING TO MYSELF
OR DID YOU NOT HEAR ME
SAY NO USING OUR ABILITIES, HUH?
WHAT ARE YOU, FAST AND DEAF?
SO YOU THINK WE'LL BE OKAY?
YEAH, WE'LL BE FINE.
WHAT?
OH, HEY,
COME ON YOU'RE NOT USING
YOUR X-RAY VISION, ARE YOU?
NO, DON'T BE SILLY.
YEAH.
IT LOOKS PRETTY
GOOD FROM THIS ANGLE TOO.
PLEASE.
GOD, BRENNAN'S GOT TO
BE GOING NUTS TRAPPED IN
THE SAFEHOUSE
WITH THAT COUPLE.
YEAH, NOT KNOWING.
YEAH. NOT KNOWING.
THAT'S THE PART THAT
WOULD DRIVE ME CRAZY.
YOU DON'T THINK
HE'S GOT IT, DO YOU?
I WOULDN'T KNOW, JESSE.
WELL, CAN'T YOU DO ONE OF
YOUR TELE-EMPATHIC TUNE-INS
AND SEE IF HE'S INFECTED?
IT DOESN'T WORK LIKE THAT.
HM.
I'VE GOT TO GO
CHECK IN ON RICK.
YOU'VE GOT TO
STAY IN THERE, RICK.
JUST UNTIL WE FIND
A WAY TO MAKE YOU BETTER.
ADAM,
I'M YOUR LIAISON.
I DON'T
RECALL HAVING A LIAISON
LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDER
AS PART OF THE DEAL.
NOT MY CALL.
ALRIGHT, SO WHAT IS
YOUR MANDATE, MR MARLOWE?
REPORT YOUR PROGRESS
ON MR ECKHART.
JUST THE THOUGHT OF
WORKING WITH HIM AGAIN.
STOP KIDDING
YOURSELF, ADAM, YOU TWO
ARE JOINED AT THE HIP.
THAT'S AN UGLY THOUGHT.
YOU NEED ECKHART AS MUCH
AS ECKHART NEEDS YOU.
OH, I THOUGHT
I LEFT ALL THAT BEHIND.
WELL,
THE PAST HAS THIS FUNNY
WAY OF SNEAKING UP ON YOU,
DOESN'T IT?
YES, AND REARING
IT'S UGLY HEAD.
IT'S A TOUGH
THING TO ESCAPE.
SO, WHAT,
YOU'RE HIS EYES AND EARS
AROUND HERE, MR MARLOWE?
YES.
AS WELL AS MAKING SURE THAT
GSA TECHNOLOGY IS NOT USED
FOR DETRIMENTAL PURPOSES.
DETRIMENTAL TO WHAT,
THE IMPRISONMENT AND
THE MURDER OF NEW MUTANTS?
HEY, I JUST WORK HERE.
YEAH.
AND THAT DOESN'T GIVE
YOU PANGS OF GUILT?
NO.
IT'S A FREE
MARKETPLACE, ADAM.
MY SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE
TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
WHICH, BY THE WAY,
IF YOU WANT
TO MAKE A BID THAT
BEATS OUT GENOMEX.
WHAT, SO...
SO YOU'RE A MERCENARY NOW?
YES, I AM.
AND YOU BETTER GET USED TO ME
BEING ON THIS SIDE OF THE FENCE.
BESIDES, MY RETINAL SCAN
IS THE ONLY WAY TO GET ACCESS
TO THAT COMPUTER.
LIMITED ACCESS, I'M SURE.
OF COURSE.
OF COURSE.
HOW ARE YOU AND
SUNSHINE GETTING ALONG?
AFTER HE LEFT GENOMEX
HE MUST HAVE SUFFERED A
MAJOR PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA.
OR MAYBE
HE'S JUST A CREEP.
NO, PEOPLE
DON'T HAVE SUCH A CHANGE IN
PERSONALITY FOR NO REASON...
HIS ANGER'S
GOT TO HAVE A SOURCE.
THINK HE'S HAVING
A HARD TIME DEALING WITH
HIS NEW MUTANT ABILITIES?
WELL, THAT'S DEFINITELY
PART OF IT, YEAH.
DIDN'T TURN THE
REST OF US INTO CREEPS.
WELL, NONE OF YOU HAD TO
DEAL WITH HIS INVULNERABILITY.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HIS
POWER OF INVULNERABILITY.
NO, NO, LISTEN,
THINK ABOUT THIS NOW.
ALL HUMAN BEHAVIOUR AND ANIMAL
BEHAVIOUR, FOR THAT MATTER,
IS PREDICATED ON ONE SIMPLE
MOTIVATION - SURVIVAL, RIGHT?
YEAH.
ALRIGHT, SO WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN SURVIVAL ISN'T AN ISSUE?
WHEN THE
MOTIVATION IS TAKEN AWAY?
I GUESS THERE'S NO TELLING
HOW SOMEONE WOULD REACT.
EXACTLY.
UNPREDICTABILITY.
WHICH MAKES MARLOWE MORE
DANGEROUS THEN ECKHART.
TELL ME.
TELL ME!
HEY!
HEY!
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
I ASKED HIM A QUESTION.
I GOT NO
ANSWERS FOR YOU.
ALRIGHT, THEN YOU'RE
BANNED FROM THIS WARD!
YOU ARE A GUEST HERE!
YOU GET OUT OF HERE!
THIS IS NOT YOUR TURF.
YOU REMEMBER THAT, ADAM.
COME ON, RICK,
JUST HANG IN THERE.
COME ON, RICK.
EMMA?
EMMA, ARE YOU OKAY?
WHY DID YOU
DO THAT, JESSE?
YOU WERE IN TROUBLE.
WELL WE'VE
BOTH BEEN EXPOSED.
OH, MAN,
YOU DON'T GIVE UP, DO YOU?
WHAT YOU DON'T
UNDERSTAND IS THAT I NEED
TO GET OUT OF HERE, OKAY?
AND NOW.
WHAT'S YOUR RUSH, TODD?
WE'VE GOT NO PLACE TO GO.
I'M NOT IN A RUSH, JERRI.
OKAY?
I JUST WANT OUT.
EXCUSE ME.
SORRY ABOUT THAT, BUT
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE GOING
TO GET VERY FAR WITHOUT THIS.
WHAT THE HELL
IS THAT IN THERE?
IN WHERE?
THERE'S A
PICTURE IN YOUR WALLET.
I GOT LOTS OF
PICTURES IN MY WALLET.
OH,
YOU MEAN THIS PICTURE?
WHO THE
