NO,
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THEM.
YOU'RE GOING
BACK TO SANCTUARY.
NO.
WE CAN'T JUST LET
THEM GET AWAY WITH THAT.
SHH.
NO.
DOES HE NEED
AN AMBULANCE?
YEAH.
TELL THEM NOT
TO RUN ANY RED LIGHTS.
OW, OW, OW.
AH,
I THOUGHT YOU SAID THIS
WASN'T GOING TO HURT.
AND YOU BELIEVED ME?
IT'S CALLED
BEDSIDE MANNER.
NOW BE A GOOD
GIRL AND YOU'LL GET A
LOLLIPOP WHEN WERE DONE.
OW.
YOU THROW IN A BALLOON
AND I'M ALL YOURS.
SO WHEN DID ECKHART'S BOYS
START PLAYING SHOOT TO KILL?
THAT'S THE WEIRD THING.
I MEAN,
YESTERDAY I WENT CHASING
DOWN THIS GUY WHO'S HUNTING
A NEW MUTANT FOR THE GSA.
AND TODAY HE'S RIPPING THEM
OFF AND TAKING SHOTS AT ME.
OW.
OH, YOU'RE A BEAST.
YOU'RE A BABY.
HA.
IT'S JUST ONE OF
THOSE SITUATIONS, MAN.
YOU KNOW...
THE MINUTE WE GOT INTO
THE PETERSON BUILDING...
I JUST FELT FUNNY.
I WAS JUST TOTALLY
THROWN OFF MY GAME, YOU KNOW?
I... SHALIMAR, TAKES A BULLET
OUT OF NOWHERE AND THEN...
AND THEN TONY SHOWS UP?
SO TONY AND THIS GS AGENT TOOK
OFF WITH THE ANOMITE, HUH?
IT MUST HAVE BEEN THE
FIVE MILLION DOLLAR PAYDAY
THAT HE WAS CROWING ABOUT.
BRENNAN!
NICE JOB GETTING SHALIMAR
BACK HERE FOR TREATMENT.
THAT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN EASY.
COULD HAVE BEEN PICKING HER
ARM UP OFF THE GROUND AND SHE
STILL WOULD HAVE BEEN
OUT THERE TRACKING HIM DOWN.
WHAT'S THE WORD
ON THE LATE DR TORK?
I THOUGHT DR TORK WAS DIRECTOR
OF THE ANOMITE PROJECT.
APPARENTLY HE WASN'T
GETTING THE RECOGNITION
HE FELT HE DESERVED.
SO HE WENT AND TRADED
TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
RIGHT.
WHAT CONCERNS ME THE MOST IS
THAT ALL HIS RESEARCH IS LOST,
NOW THAT HE'S DEAD.
SO IT CAN'T BE RECREATED?
NOT WITHOUT
THE STOLEN PROTOTYPE,
WHICH MAKES THAT PRICELESS.
NO. NO, NO,
IT'S DEFINITELY GOT A PRICE.
IT'S A STEEP ONE.
HEY!
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M GONNA GO GET
SOME ANSWERS FROM TONY,
BEFORE ANYONE ELSE GETS HURT.
NOT ONLY WAS THE TRANSACTION
COMPLETELY BOTCHED.
BUT THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN
RECREATE THE FORMULA IS LYING
ON A SLAB IN THE MORGUE.
IT WAS MUTANT X AGAIN, SIR.
MUTANT X DON'T CARRY GUNS.
WHO KILLED DR TORK?
GS AGENT CARL AMES, SIR.
WELL, THEN, BRING ME
AMES AND THE ANOMITE.
THAT'S A TALL ORDER, SIR.
AND IF YOU CAN'T FILL IT,
YOU'LL FIND YOURSELF
ON A SLAB NEXT TO DR TORK.
DO YOU
REMEMBER THAT TRICK?
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO THROW
ONE OF THOSE AT ME, ARE YOU?
NOT UNLESS YOU MAKE ME.
YOU KNOW,
I ALWAYS KNEW THERE WAS
SOMETHING WEIRD GOING ON
WITH YOU BACK THEN.
WELL,
SINCE YOU KNOW ONE
OF MY LITTLE SECRETS,
WHY DON'T YOU
TELL ME ONE OF YOURS?
LOOK, MAN, I GOTTA GO.
WHO'S THE WOMAN
YOU'RE WORKING FOR?
I CAN'T...
THAT CASE THAT YOU
JACKED CAN PUT A LOT OF
INNOCENT LIVES IN JEOPARDY.
I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT.
WELL, I'M TELLING
YOU ABOUT THAT.
SOMEBODY I CARE ABOUT'S
BEEN SHOT OVER IT ALREADY.
LOOK, BRENNAN, WE'RE JUST
THE MIDDLE MEN, ALL RIGHT?
ALL I CARE
ABOUT IS THE PAY-OFF.
SO WHAT?
TO HELL WITH
ANYONE WHO GETS HURT?
IS THAT IT?
I CAN'T
THINK ABOUT THAT.
YEAH,
WELL I'M TELLING YOU
TO THINK ABOUT IT.
IF THAT CASE FALLS INTO THE
WRONG HANDS, I'M GOING TO HOLD
YOU AND WHOEVER YOU'RE WORKING
FOR PERSONALLY RESPONSIBLE.
YEAH,
RUN HOME TO YOUR LITTLE
GIRLFRIEND THERE, TONE.
GOD KNOWS HOW SHE'S
GETTING ALONG WITHOUT YOU.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
YOU DIDN'T THINK I'D
GIVE UP THAT EASY DID YOU?
I TOLD YOU,
I WANT THE CASE.
WELL, YOU'RE JUST TOO
GOOD TO BE TRUE AREN'T YOU?
AND YOU, YOU DIDN'T
TELL ME WE HAD COMPANY.
LORNA TEMPLETON.
BRENNAN MULWRAY.
THAT'S NEVER
HAPPENED BEFORE.
HE'S BAD NEWS, LORNA.
I WANT THE CASE
THAT YOUR BOYS TOOK.
IS THAT ALL YOU WANT?
YOU'VE SEEN
WHAT HE CAN DO.
NOT EVERYTHING.
JUST GIVE ME THE
CASE AND I'LL WALK AWAY.
NO QUESTIONS ASKED.
BUT THEN I MIGHT
NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN.
WHERE IS IT?
IN HERE.
YOU KNOW, THE FIRST TIME I
LAID EYES ON YOU I KNEW WE HAD
SOMETHING
EXTRAORDINARY IN COMMON.
THE CASE.
OF COURSE.
OPEN IT, PLEASE.
YOU KNOW, YOU AND I
WOULD MAKE AN INCREDIBLE
