Family is the ultimate power
on The Gifted.

A lot of people have been
fighting this fight for a long time,

and now it's our turn.

Catch all-new episodes Mondays.

And check out our other
Fox programs-- The Orville,

Lucifer, and Gotham.

Gotham needs more people
who are willing to fight for her.

Only on Fox.

We need your help.

There are three of them.
Esme, Sophie and Phoebe.

They're politically connected,
wealthy; one of them

even infiltrated Senator
Montez's campaign last year.

That jackass is
a straight-up Purifier.

They've got the right enemies,
that's for damn sure.

-CAITLIN: We're leaving.

With Esme and her sisters back,
we can't stay.

I don't want to be here, either.

That's why we have
to stick together.

FROST SISTERS: We're here
about the Hound program.

-It's looking to expand.
-We want your help to stop it.

POLARIS:
And you can get us to Campbell?

We can end this?

We wouldn't be here
if we couldn't.

Your father was a member
of the Hellfire Club, a king.

You want to protect
the child? Join us.

They murdered a dozen people
without even blinking.

-Fire.

We need all the allies
we can get.

No, the X-Men
chose us for a reason,

and it's not 'cause we can kill.

CAMPBELL: We now have a weapon
that provides a solution

to our mutant problem.

Hounds bonded,
their powers combined.

Put together a demonstration.

Bring it to Washington
this week.

CAMPBELL:
Breathe a little deeper.

Come on, Jack, breathe for me.

JACK: I'm trying.
I just can't catch...

CAMPBELL: That's it, that's it.
That's good.

That's good. Just get it out.

Come on. Here.

Don't you got
a lecture to get to'?

-No.
-I'm all right, bro.

No, you're not.

Your lung capacity's down 30%.

We need to talk to your doctor.

It's not the doctors, Rod.
I'm running out of time here.

Hey, don't talk like that.

-JACK: Well, it's the truth.
-Come on.

Doctors told Mom that CF would
kill me before I hit 40.

I'm already bucking
the odds here.

Okay, okay, just...

Calm down.

-Here.

You're already late, bro.

Just go.

I'll be fine.

It's okay.

CAMPBELL:
One gene.

A tiny thing,
less than a micron across,

but so terribly,
terribly powerful.

A mutation in the DNA sequence
of a single gene

can mean the difference
between a long, healthy life

or a death sentence.

If I've learned one thing
in my years as a scientist,

it's that Mother Nature
shows us no mercy.

She's not our friend.

We're just another
species on Earth,

forced to struggle
for our survival.

For most of the last
two million years,

Homo sapiens weren't
the only species of human.

The Neanderthal--
stronger than we are.

Had better resistance to cold.

And contrary
to conventional wisdom,

they even had bigger brains.

So how did we stop them
from taking over the planet?

Why am I up here talking to you,

instead of some fellow
with a double

Because genetics
don't have to be destiny.

We worked together.

We out-communicated
the Neanderthals.

We built societies
to defend each other

and literally wipe our enemies
off the face of the Earth.

They had stronger genes,
no doubt about it.

But we managed to level
the playing field.

And now, once again,

Mother Nature has rolled
the evolutionary dice

and created a new breed

with powerful mutations
and abilities.

Some among us worry that
we're in danger of extinction.

Well, they're right to worry.

But we don't have to succumb

to the cosmic injustice
of genetics.

This time, we can harness the
power of science for ourselves.

But if, and only if,

we have the courage
to stand together as a species.

7|:

I just want to make
something clear.

We're working with you on this

because the Hound program
is a threat to all of us.

But if any of you think
that being here means...

-Oh,
you made it clear we're not.

We're just here to get
a job done, same as you.

Marcos, they're right.
Stay cool.

I don't see a move here.

The Hounds are
already out there.

They're kicking our asses.

ESME: It's a secret program.
We can kill it,

but it has to happen soon.

Our sources tell us Dr. Campbell

is working
his political connections

-to take it national.

He's attending
the Humanity Today Summit

-in Charlotte, tomorrow.

Is that seriously
what they call it?

-Mm.
-ESME: I guess they thought

it sounded better than
"Kill the Muties."

Every major anti-mutant figure
will be there.

Politicians, business leaders...

Purifiers.

Security will be massive.

There's got to be
a better... -We're out of time.

This is our chance
to grab Campbell and use him

-to smash the program.
-So we're kidnappers now.

I thought we're supposed to be
the good guys.

Let's not get
so high and mighty.

I don't suppose you've shared
your criminal past

with everyone here?

Do they not know
about your old friends?

Because we do.

But the past is in the past.

Right now, we have work to do.

It's funny.

Half of me can't believe
we're still stuck here,

and the other half is
happy to be home.

Just glad we didn't
lose our old beds.

Well, you are losing
your pillow.

I get the good one this time.

Uh, we're heading up
to Charlotte tomorrow.

Might be our only chance
to grab to Campbell; and once

we have him, we're gonna need
every angle we can get.

Did you have any luck looking
at your father's research?

Not much. He just gave me
his old notebooks.

And to be honest, I couldn't
follow much of the science.

THUNDERBIRD: Well, anything
you can get could be useful.

His research helped build
the Hound program.

If we're trying
to take it apart...

I guess it's best
to start at the beginning.

We'll work on it.

-Good luck up there.
-Thanks.

John. We need to talk.

Hey, listen, whatever the Frosts
said about your past, I don't...

No, it's...
|-| need to explain.

Clarice, we got a lot
to do right now, okay?

Will you please just listen?

Back in Clarke County, I had
trouble with some Purifiers.

Basically got run out of town.
I was pissed.

Started looking for people
who felt the same way.

I found some mutants
who were pushing back.

And it turned out that they were
part of the Brotherhood.

-I didn't join anything.

I helped them with a few things,
and when they asked me

to do stuff
I wasn't down for, I bailed.

Why didn't you tell us?

Sage asked me
what I was arrested for.

Nothing I did with them...

That's not how it works,
and you know it.

I know I shouldn't have
worked with them, but...

It's not about that.
It's about hiding it from us.

Look...

I didn't tell you this
before because...

for the first time in forever,
I felt safe.

I just didn't want to lose that.

You know, when you ran off,
and I went to look for you,

I did that because I thought
you were one of us.

I don't know.
Maybe I was wrong.

Mr. Wong, please tell me
you have some results.

Actually, Dr. Campbell,
we've run into some issues.

Issues? We handed you
an entire archive.

Reams of data from
Otto Strucker's research.

If he was able to suppress
the X-Gene in his son,

his conclusions
must be in there.

I know, sir, but it appears that

a significant portion
of his research is missing.

Then I suggest you look harder.

What you need to understand,
the Hound project

is the key to fighting them off,
but Otto Strucker's research

can help us wipe out
the X-Gene entirely.

If some of it is missing,
we need to find it. Understood?

Of course, sir.

-Hey-
-Hey-

Before we head out,
I... I want to talk to you.

Yeah. What is it?

It's about the Frosts.

What about them?

Look, we're working with them,
like it or not.

Yeah, I'm in the "not" camp.

I'm not asking you to change
your mind about them,

but we have a job to do.

What do you expect me
to do, Lorna'?

Pretend like we're
one big happy family?

No, of course not.

Come on. We're the family.

That's the point.

There's no way
they could come between us.

Look, don't do this for them,
do this for me.

Okay.

Are you seriously
reading that book again?

Why do you care'?

Shouldn't you be hanging out
with your boyfriend?

Wes went back to Augusta,
for your information.

You barely put that thing down.

So? There's stuff
about our family in here.

-No, thank you.

I know all I need to know about
our psycho great-grandfather.

He wasn't a psycho.

All right, this book
was written by humans.

It's totally biased against us.

Andreas and his sister
were trying to build something.

-Uh, a-a place for mutants.
-Andy.

Why don't you look around?

We are literally
in a place for mutants.

No, no, I don't mean,
like, a place to hide.

-That's all we're doing here...
-No. No, it isn't.

The Underground
is saving people.

Those people were murderers.

You've heard of
the American Revolution, right?

Nobody ever called
George Washington

a murderer for fighting back
against England.

This isn't some
war fantasy, okay?

Whatever.

Now everybody's freaking out

about the Frost Sisters
for some reason.

At least they treat us
like adults.

The Frost Sisters?

Don't tell me
they got in your head.

God.

-Those girls are liars.

Maybe they're the only ones
around here

who are actually
telling the truth.

GUARD:
Badges, please.

Good afternoon, Dr. Campbell,
Director Wolcott.

All right, you're all set.

7|:

MAN:
Everybody's saying it.

We just got to get ready, man.

Hard times are coming.
You know what I mean, man?

We just got to,
got to do something about it.

Great, look who's back.

Are you talking about me?

Let's just say
some folks were happy

when you left for Fairburn.

I don't know
what your problem is,

but we're on the same side here.

You keep saying that.

Doesn't make it true.

I-ley-

You Okay?

Mm. It's nothing.

-Not much.

Most of my dad's research

that we found is
from his grad school days,

but we can't find much
of his work on mutants.

There's something else.
We're not the only ones looking.

What are you talking about?

I've been checking
the genetic research boards.

Trask is talking to everyone
Otto Strucker ever worked with.

They're even sending someone to
an insurance company in Decatur.

Wait.

Southern Worldwide.

That's where your mom works.

Hey, speed demon.
You missed the bean sprouts.

Yeah, well, excuse me
for not being

a professional waterer guy.
This is stupid.

You think Campbell's gardening
right now?

The Underground is
going after him, okay?

We should be doing that, too.

The way those mutants
who ambushed us in Fairburn

combined their powers,
their hands were joined.

Campbell got that from us.
We should be doing something.

Like what?
Going out and attacking people?

That's not how it works.

This place is a team
and we're part of that.

CAITLIN:
Kids, we need to go.

Sentinel Services and Trask
is sending someone

to speak to my mom.

Grandma Ellen?
They already talked to her.

That was just harassment.

This time, they're after
something real:

-my dad's research.
-We need to get to her first.

-Let's go.
-Come on.

7|:

ECLIPSE: I thought we were
coming to a safe house.

-It is safe. -And it's a house.
-Hence the term.

It's just so bougie.

Well, if it'll make you
feel more at home,

we could bring in some mold,
smash some holes in the floor.

Don't worry about it. It's fine.

I'll see them inside.

I-ley-

Just here to do a job, remember?

Yeah, babe. I remember.

There's a full security system,

and we're set up for a variety
of interrogation methods.

Although, I should be able to
extract any information we need.

And you have a fully stocked bar
because...?

Breaking Campbell
could take a while.

Why live in squalor?

The X-Men started your little
crew before they vanished.

Our founders,
they left us with more

than a pat on the back
and encouraging words.

You're talking about
the Brotherhood.

So he's pretty and clever.

In half an hour,
our ticket into the summit

will be driving down a road
near here.

We best get ready.

This is your room.
Hope it's big enough.

Uh, yeah. Thanks.

Um, can we talk for a moment?

About what

I'm just really glad
you're here.

Sometimes it seems like
you're the only one

who knows what needs
to get done.

-Your boyfriend... -Okay,
let's not bring him into this.

Look, just because
he's concerned

doesn't mean he knows
what's best.

I'm not discussing this
with you.

Lorna, you can do things
others can't.

-Your friends, they don't...
-Stop talking about my friends!

Not bad.

You've been getting
stronger lately, haven't you?

I can see your father's power
in you.

You know, some people think
pregnant women are fragile.

But there is nothing stronger

than a woman
with something to fight for.

You know where
Grandma's office is?

Hopefully. I haven't been here
for a couple years.

Okay, call if you see anything.

If we run into trouble,
you two head back immediately.

Understand?

Come on.

-Yeah.

You Okay?

Yeah, just remembering what
happened when I saw my dad.

-Hey. This won't be like that.
-Hey.

Uh... aren't you...

um...

You guys are, uh...
l-l know you. You're...

Ally and Mark Young
from the party last year.

Hey. It's good to see you, man.

Yeah. |-| thought I...

Uh, will you say hello
to your wife for me?

We had, we had
such a great time.

Tell her,
"It's all about the donuts."

She'll know what
I'm talking about.

-Okay, sure.
-It's good to see you, man.

That was... wow.

Okay, don't be too impressed.

He's still suspicious.
Just keep moving.

Her office is over here.

ELLEN:
What does it take for somebody

to clean a coffee cup
around here?

Reed.

-Shh, shh, shh.
-Caitlin.

-Hey, hey.
-Hi.

-Stay calm.

-In my office.

Um, my-my assistant's
gone today.

-It's okay.

The police said--
How are the babies?

They're fine.
Look, I'll explain.

We don't have a lot of time.

Keep looking that way.
Sentinel Services comes,

they could drive up
in either direction.

What are you doing?

Something happens,
we need to be ready.

If we get into trouble,
we can make it worse if we...

If we what?

You understand
who we are, right?

What we can do.

Sentinel Services does show up,
we're not the ones in trouble.

They are.

Andy.

Look, our power comes
with responsibility.

The last thing we want is
for them to be scared of us.

Maybe they should be scared.

If they were
a little more scared,

they wouldn't be
coming after our grandma

just because
she's related to us.

I don't understand. How would
I know about Otto's research?

I haven't seen the man in years.

That won't matter to them.

We just need you
to come with us.

L-I have claims
to fill out and...

Ellen, I know this sound crazy,
but it's true.

If these people even think
you know something useful...

What could I possibly know?

And you want me to run?

You're asking me
to run away from my entire life.

-It's not that simple.
-I don't think you understand

how serious this is.

-They came for Dad.
-Perfect.

Then it's Otto's issue.
Let them talk with him.

Mom, they killed him.

What?
What

I was there, Mom.

They shot him.

MAN: And religious issues
break the same way.

About 30% of Evangelicals

think that God's message
was for humans.

A plurality believe the mutants
should be given sanctuary.

MONTEZ:
Listen, there's no question that

we've got a messaging issue.

Gun rights folks split

down the middle
on mutant issues, too,

but the tides are turning.

Well, I hope you're right,
Senator.

Look forward to your talk later.

-Oh, thank you.
-Sarah, good to see you.

-Yes.
-Senator Montez.

Dr. Campbell.
So good to see you again.

-Always a pleasure. Sarah.

-|, uh, heard about the tragedy
at Trask recently. -Ah.

-Was horrible.
-It was.

But ultimately
it just underlines

the importance of our work.

The mutants
wouldn't have attacked

if they didn't understand
we were on the cusp of victory.

Well, I'm just glad you got
to come to the conference.

It's so important to tap into
this energy and enthusiasm.

I'm not much into politics, but
it is nice to be around people

who see the issue
with clear eyes.

Well said. I'm looking forward
to our meeting.

CAMPBELL: So am I. I've got
some exciting developments.

Like to talk with you
about expanding our efforts.

-Yes.

No. We discussed this
when we visited Trask.

I am aware, but the situation
has evolved since then.

The agenda for today's meeting
is already set.

We're talking about fighting
for humanity's survival.

The senator is
in a unique position

to help us with our cause.

I think that merits revisiting

a few funding priorities,
don't you?

-|...
-Let's hear the man out.

-I'll see you soon.
-Till then.

Dr. Campbell.

The Frost sisters are supposed
to be so well-connected.

This was the best way
into the summit?

Look, guy's a big fund-raiser
for anti-mutant causes.

He attends the Humanity Today
Summit every year.

If we're with him,
we get past the gate.

Yeah, I looked him up.

Guy made a ton of money
in pharmaceuticals.

When he retired, he decided he
wanted to contribute to society.

Oh, yes. His way of giving back
was going after mutants.

This should be fun.

Lorna.

I will play nice if he does.

They're on board
with this, right'?

Yeah. They're in.

We're looking for
a silver sedan.

Should be through here shortly.

-V6 TY-

He has an appointment with
a certain reclusive billionaire.

Unfortunately for him,
the billionaire's a mutant,

-and a friend of ours.
-Mm.

Still angry I brought up
your checkered past?

How'd you even know about that?

If you're poking around
in my mind,

-I will portal you in front of
a moving truck. -Oh, please.

There was no need
for a mind reading.

We have quite the network,
and everyone talks.

I don't see what you're
so wound up about.

My point is that
we have a lot in common.

-YUP-

Let's do this.

Time to go.

You're asking me to believe
that my ex

And-and he kept it

-Mom, you must've had some idea.

-You lived together
for 26 years. -No.

No, not about this. No.

I mean, he had
his secrets, but...

Mom, I was there
when he used his powers.

But it's not just that.
You know when I got sick?

-Yes.

That was him using a serum
to block the X-Gene in me.

Oh, God.

And that serum is probably
what they're looking for.

If they find it,
they could wipe mutants

off the face of the Earth.

Please think.
Did Dad have another lab?

Not that I know of.

Was there anyone
who he worked with

-outside of Trask...
-Okay, we can talk

-about this later.

-We have to go.
-I can't.

-I can't just leave
out of nowhere.

Dad. Sentinel Services is here.

Have they seen you? You got to
get out of there before...

No, not yet. But they're coming.

Honey, thi-s is crazy.

Mom, what's wrong?

-We're running from the police.
-I know, I know.

-But we've got to keep moving.
All right'? -This way.

-Here, I'll take it.

Go, go, go. Hit it.

If they get to the back
of the building,

maybe we can find
an emergency exit or something.

There's no time.
What about the car?

We can ditch the car.
It's safer to get everybody out.

Safe for who

-We just have to hold them off.

Protecting our family.

Wait, that's one of
the Struckers.

Hands in the air!

Stop!

I said, put your hands
in the air.

Right now.
Where I can see them.

Leave our family alone!

Andy, stop! They're hurt!

-They still have guns.
-Andy, stop!

What the hell?!

CAITLIN:
Lauren

Let's go!

-Impressive.
-We've made great strides.

And with the proper
legislative support,

we could expand immediately.

I'm flying to D.C.
after the summit.

To be candid,
I can't do this alone.

Now, you know I've always
appreciated Trask's support.

But we do have to be careful

with the optics
on these types of things.

You're worried about
public opinion.

Getting tough on mutant crime
polls well,

but stuff like this?

MONTEZ:
Listen, we are still paying

for the mistakes
from the early days

of the Sentinel robot program.

With respect,
this is very different.

In the assault on the Fairburn
Mutant Underground station,

37 mutant terrorists captured,

not one Sentinel Service
agent hurt.

Still, rounding up
the kind of support we'd need

-to pass a new bill...

You have
a well-earned reputation

for taking this threat
seriously.

The public is hungry
for real solutions.

If you want to be more than
just a senator from Georgia,

there's far worse things
than being the man

who won the war
for humanity's future.

You're making a big mistake.

There'|| be people
looking for me.

I guess they're gonna be
disappointed, then.

I have to be in a meeting,
and if I don't show...

Oh, don't worry
about the meeting.

We just need you
to make a phone call.

WOMAN : Thank you
for calling Humanity Today.

Hello. This is Franklin Bennett.

Hello. This is
Franklin Bennett.

I need to make a change
to my security detail.

I need to make
a change to my security detail.

WOMAN: Of course, Mr. Bennett.
One moment, please.

These guard uniforms?

They have our shirt sizes.

These people aren't
screwing around here.

John. All this time I've spent
trying to convince you

of things, I could've just
bought you a nice shirt.

I know that you're not
about to go out

and start the Frost Sisters
fan club,

but if someone is gonna
offer me this kind of help

to take down the people
who killed Sonya

and killed Pulse, I'm in.

I'm going along with this
for you and for Lorna.

But... I got to tell you this,
I don't like it.

When I was in Afghanistan,
in the Marines,

I had to work with
a lot of folks I did not like.

But you fight the fight
that's in front of you.

Eyes on the prize.
We got to grab Campbell today.

I don't know what good
this outfit does.

One look at my eyes...

Yeah, they get close enough
to see your eyes,

my hair, or the fact that
three of us are the same person,

then it's over already.

Something piss you off?

Yeah. They tried
working on me, too.

Their whole "we're not
so different" thing.

Yeah, well, uh...

they might have
a point with that.

What are you talking about?

They, uh...

they talked about the guy
they think is my birth father.

-Said he was a part of all this.

Lorna, I know about this.

You don't get born
looking like me

without having major X-Genes
in your family tree.

You know, for a while,
I thought that mattered.

I thought that all the bad guys

in my family's past
made me one, too.

Took me too long to realize
that a tiny speck of DNA,

it doesn't take charge
of who you are.

I really hope you realize that
sooner than I did.

You think you're gonna
get away with this?

They're gonna track you down

and exterminate you
like cockroaches.

Is that so?

You don't even deserve
to breathe the same air

as human beings.

You don't want to breathe
the same air?

-Then stop breathing.

We can see inside your sick
little mind, Mr. Bennett.

We can see the videos you watch
of mutants being tortured.

We can feel the hate.

I-ley-

-That's enough.

You think torturing
some sad old bigot's

gonna make ourjob any easier?

Cut it out. Now.

You're no fun.

REED: Yeah, we got away,
but they saw the car,

so we're dumping it.

Okay, we'll be there.

Thanks.

You sure you're all right,
Ellen?

I'm fine, sweetie.

It's just a bit much.

I'm sorry, Mom.
I wish this wasn't happening.

I wish I could help you, but...

if your father had
some secret lab somewhere,

he sure as hell never told me.

Well, maybe it wasn't
another lab.

Maybe... maybe he used to
talk to someone?

Maybe he used to
go somewhere or...

What?

What is it'?

Um, it may be nothing.

There was this researcher.

She and your father used to talk
late at night, and...

and they went
on a trip together,

and I confronted him.

I was convinced he was
having an affair with her.

He promised that
he'd never see her again.

Did you ever meet her?

Yes. Once at the house.

She came to see you.

Uh, do you remember her name?

Madeline Risman.

It was decades ago.

Oh, Reed, I am so sorry.

For what?

All that time,
Otto was making you sick.

A-And I knew
there was something wrong,

but I was desperate, and he said
that he would cure you.

I should've protected you, baby.

-I'm sorry. -You did the best
you could, Mom.

We all did.

REED: The Underground is
sending someone to pick us up.

Is Grandma coming with us?

Yeah. You'll have to lay low
for a while.

LAUREN:
We've been staying with a group.

An underground group
that helps mutants.

-You'll like it there.
-Thank you, sweetheart.

But I can't go with you.

What?

-EHen,you“.
-Look at me.

|-| would just hold you up.
I saw what happened back there.

Those people who are after you,
they mean business.

But they're coming
after all of us now.

-You can't just go home.

Reed, do I look like
a complete idiot?

I have a friend in Boca Raton.

Lives way out of town.
I have enough cash to get there.

Uh...

Believe me, it's best.

LAUREN:
Grandma.

I know it's weird
that we're mutants.

But we're still the same people
we've always been.

Oh, no, sweetheart.

No, that's not true.

You're more.

You're so much more.

Andy.

-CHOIR: * America, America...
-And I couldn't be more proud

to introduce a man
who's been coming here

for more than a decade,

a man who has always fought
for our future,

a human future.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Senator Montez.

-* From sea to shining sea.

Thank you.

GUARD:
May I see your badges?

Welcome, Mr. Bennett.

All right, you're all clear.

Thank you. Them, too.

MONTEZ:
You know, I've always said

this summit is the birthplace
of great ideas.

And we need those ideas.

We need your energy
and enthusiasm.

We need it
to take our country back.

MONTEZ:
Since 7/15,

we've been a nation
under siege.

People live in fear while
the mutants who terrorize them

hide behind the Constitution.

Was that the founders' intent?

To prevent their sons
and daughters

from defending themselves?
Ladies and gentlemen,

the Constitution
is a human document,

written by humans for humans.

It is time to stop being
politically correct,

time to stop coddling
our enemies

and offering our friends
empty promises.

Which is why
I will shortly introduce

new legislation
to defeat the mutants

who are trying to destroy
our way of life.

Okay, the second
the speech is over,

I'll knock out the frequencies
for phones and walkies.

ESME:
You're gonna need to hurry.

Once communication goes down
in this place,

it's gonna be crawling
with security.

We can only keep them away
from the cars for so long.

We will not be staying
any longer than we have to.

Believe me.

This bill will help fund
next-generation programs

to wipe out our enemies
wherever they hide,

whatever their powers,

because we are done
being afraid.

We are done living under siege.

It is time
for humanity to prevail.

-Yeah.

-All right, we got to
make this quick. -Hey.

I can get us past the guards,
onto that balcony.

From there, you can take us
to the elevators, right?

Yeah, yeah, but I want
to say something first.

What you did earlier,
when you stopped the Frosts

from torturing that guy,
that was the right thing to do.

Okay, I think maybe
I was too hard on you earlier.

No, you weren't. I should have
been more honest about my past.

It doesn't matter,
doesn't matter.

What matters is who you are now.

That you're one of us.

Now, that felt real.

Let's do this.

7|:

You're lucky you made it
to your mother's when you did.

They sent another team
to her house.

But you think she made it out
of town without them noticing?

-So far.

Trask is not just after her.

Everyone who has ever met Otto
is getting a visit.

Well, hopefully
we're a step ahead of them.

-Did you get any leads
from your mother? -Maybe.

A researcher that my dad
worked with-- Madeline Risman.

It sounds like
someone we should find.

Right.

Okay, stop.

What happened
in that parking lot?

We came outside,
you were both on the ground,

and you haven't been
speaking to each other.

Just a disagreement. Right?

A disagreement?
You attacked those agents.

They were gonna shoot us,
I stopped them, and we got away.

-You almost killed that guy.
-Yeah, key word: "almost."

CAITLIN: Guys, I don't know
what's going on,

but we need to stick together
as a family right now.

-Tell her that, not me.

Last time I checked, I'm
the one person in this family

who's actually proud
to be a von Strucker.

Look, I know
it's frustrating, but...

But what?

This is just a phase?

No. But he's your brother.
You can work it out.

Mom...

something has changed in Andy.

He's not the same anymore.

ESME: Senator Montez
is done with his speech.

Your sisters finished
dumping Bennett?

They're on their way back.

Campbell should be
headed upstairs soon.

They look so happy.

Nothing brings people together
like hate.

-Yeah.

Such a neat trick.

Lorna did her thing.

It's time.

You'll wait outside while I meet
the other politicians.

He's coming up, with a few
guards in the elevator.

Wait.

Sounds like there's three more
in a suite down the hall.

-Then let's stay the hell away
from that suite. -Come on.

-Hey, Dr. Campbell.

-GUARD: My eyes!

Come on.

-Children! We're under attack.

We're under attack.
Just stay with me.

We don't want anyone
to get hurt.

Get back in the elevator.
Hurry!

Get back in the elevator.

Your move, Sunshine.

-Behind you!
-Run!

Get down!

Clarice! Get us out of here!

Come in.

Lorna, you have a visitor.

What you got there?

It's just a gift I got
a long time ago.

From someone my mom knew.

That's nice.

You can come in.

(woman speaking indistinctly
over P.A.)

-Hello, Lorna.

My name is Evangeline.

Your situation was recently
brought to my attention.

-I'm an attorney and...

-Well, according to

the court record,
you were involved

in a Purifier counterprotest
that turned violent.

You were given psychiatric care
as an alternative to jail.

Well, yeah. The judge's sister
had bipolar disorder, too.

-Lucky me.
-For now.

If that judge knew how half
a dozen anti-mutant protestors

"accidentally" fell off
an overpass,

you'd be in a maximum security
facility somewhere.

How do you know that?

I know a lot about you,
Ms. Dane.

Since 7/15, things are changing.

A hard time is coming
for mutants.

We need people like you.

-Fighters.

You've heard of the X

Yeah.
Aren't they an urban legend now?

World went to hell and, poof,

-they're gone. -Well,
they left something behind.

A network to help mutants
in trouble.

-It needs leaders.

I think someone screwed up.

You do realize this is
a mental hospital, right?

EVANGELINE:
Mm.

Well, maybe they see something
in you that you don't.

You think you're the only one

with demons inside you,
Ms. Dane?

We all have them.

It's what you do with them
that matters.

Where are they?

There's security everywhere
already.

-They're going to find us.
-They'll be here.

-If they failed, I...

There. There they are.

Wh
Where the hell is Campbell?!

We couldn't get to him.

-He shielded himself with
a bunch of kids.

-So, kids. -Do you know how many
people are gonna die if the

Hound program continues? We are
not leaving here without him!

-They're coming. We have to go.
-No! We can't.

-They're coming! We have to go!
-Damn it.

Suspects spotted. They're
fleeing in two black SUVs.

-DISPATCHER: Attention
all units.

Suspects are headed west
on Route 5 through Charlotte.

Two cars in pursuit.

MONTEZ:
There was a mutant attack here?

The threat has been neutralized,
Senator Montez.

-Well, it's my understanding

they're being pursued
as we speak.

The rest of the conference
events will be canceled,

-I'm sure, but we should go
to the airport.

You still want
to move forward with this?

Absolutely. This is exactly
the time to move forward.

This just shows how seriously
the enemy takes us.

This is our moment, Senator.
Now is the time to strike.

7|:

SAGE:
Something went wrong.

I wish I could tell you more,
but for now,

all we know is what we've
learned from the police reports.

-No, he got away.

Well, keep us posted.

REED:
Guys, we got some bad news.

Not a lot of details,
but it looks like

things didn't go well
in Charlotte.

Dr. Campbell got away.
They had to run.

Well, we should go out
and back them up.

LAUREN:
They're two states away.

By the time we get there,
it'll be too late.

REED:
Lauren's right.

They're on their own for now.

-So are we. -No, maybe
we can help. You don't know.

There are people to protect
here. When the X-Men founded

this place, they didn't say "run
off whenever you're pissed."

Our friends might not be
coming back.

-Of course I am.

-But we've got a job here.
-REED: Guys.

-We can't keep fighting each
other. -Your father's right.

We have to be strong
as a family.

I'm the one who wants us
to be strong!

You mean you want us to be
the von Struckers again.

You sound like
the Frost sisters.

What's wrong with that?
They're willing to face reality.

I mean, the humans
are coming after us.

The humans, Andy?

Am I coming after you?
ls your mom'?

I didn't...

You know what I meant.

What's the story?

The boy, Andrew Strucker,
attacked the agents here.

Family fled
before backup could arrive.

Well, maybe they didn't get
away as clean as they thought.

NOVAK:
Sir?

JACE: Dr. Campbell sent us
a new pair of Hounds.

One's clairvoyant,
the other one detects

organic molecules;
turns out, together they're

pretty damn good
at finding people.

Let's go.

Right over here.

Family came through
about an hour ago.

You got something?

Good. Let's go get 'em.

How could you just let Campbell
get away like that?

Uh, we didn't let him do
anything. What the hell are we

-supposed to do, attack
a bunch of little kids? -Oh.

You're worried about their kids?
Worry about your own!

-No, he is on his way to D.C.

with a Senator in his pocket
right now.

-After today... -We just
gave them a hell of an excuse

-to expand the Hound program.
-I'm sorry.

-Yes, this is your fault.

What we need to figure out
is where Campbell is,

so we can finish
what we started.

ECLIPSE:
I love you.

POLARIS:
I love you.

POLARIS: How are we supposed to
raise a baby?

We can barely
protect ourselves.

The Frost sisters are checking
all the airports in the area,

but Campbell's gonna
be ready now.

We're looking at
a full-on assault.

Babe, maybe we should
get out while we can.

Look for another chance
on our own terms.

And if there isn't
another chance?

-That conference.

I've never seen
anything like it.

All those people
focused on hating us.

Smiling.

Running in and attacking people
won't stop them from hating us.

-It'll only make things worse.
-We have to do something.

Look... I'm worried about you.

The way that you tore down
that telephone pole.

You haven't been sleeping
at all.

Do you think
that you might be...

Having a manic episode? No.

This is not about
my mental illness, Marcos.

This is about theirs--
those people at the conference,

the people
all over this country.

I thought if we had a child

that it would have it
easier than we did.

That we would build
a better world

where our kid
wouldn't have to hide.

We are building a better world.

It's just taking some time.

We have to have faith.

I always love that about you...

that you have faith.

-Grabbing my stuff.

I'm gonna go crash
with Naya and Skyler.

-It's just upstairs.

CAITLIN:
I know you were upset earlier,

A month ago, I had a bedroom
with an actual door,

where I could have
some space if I wanted.

-Please. Space.

Probably just wants
some independence.

Yo, uh, is it cool
if I crash here?

Knock yourself out.

You guys heard about
Dr. Campbell, right'?

Yeah. Crazy.
They say what happens now?

No. It's nothing good.

-Scary stuff.
-Yeah.

I mean, this is what Polaris
is training us for.

It's times like this.

I wish she was here right now.

I-ley-

Look, I know you're
going through a lot right now.

What happened at that lab
affected me, too.

Affected you how'?

I mean, you've acted
like nothing's changed.

Thatday
changed everything for me.

All of those people dying--
I can't get it out of my head.

But we have to focus
on making things better.

We rescued Dad and Lorna.

We helped save Trader
when he was shot.

-Yeah, of course it did.

But we're not little kids
playing X-Men anymore.

This is real. There are
people trying to hurt us.

And we have the power
to stop them.

You mean the power
to destroy them.

You're the one
who denied your abilities

and almost destroyed
the whole family.

Why would you want
to do that again?

JACE:
Director Wolcott.

I know you wanted an update
on our operations.

We're following up
on an attack in Atlanta now.

Making some good progress.
It appears to be

-related to the Underground.
-Well, stay on it.

The Humanity Today summit
just got hit.

What, by mutants?

Who else? Dr. Campbell's
working on getting

political support in D.C.
for expanding the Hound program.

-We need a win here, Turner.
-I won't let you down, sir.

I had the Hounds check the car
and the road.

-Two trails. One with Grandma

headed to the highway;
the other one follows

the rest of the Struckers
to the city outskirts.

All right, alert the
local police about Grandma.

We're following the family
to the Underground headquarters.

-Yes, sir.
-We're moving out!

You two, get in.

I know what you're thinking,
and you're right.

Your friends, your boyfriend--

they're not seeing
this situation for what it is.

Look, I have no idea
what you're talking about.

Yes, you do.

Campbell has to be eliminated,
one way or the other.

Someone has to make
some hard choices here.

And why are you so sure
that's me?

Because whether you like it
or not, you're like your father.

Ugh, this again.
Look, I have nothing to do with

the guy you think is my father
or the Brotherhood.

And I really don't care what
rumors you choose to believe.

Not what I believe.
What you believe.

Lorna, I'm a telepath.

I know that he gave you
that medallion

for your 13th birthday.

All he ever wanted

was for you to be proud
of who you are.

You know what has to be
done here... don't you?

What's wrong?

-Not exactly, sir.

Hounds are indicating

the trail heads off
into the woods up there.

Okay. And?

Well, sir, that area's a
toxic waste contamination site.

Whole area's off-limits.

Son of a bitch.

It's not off-limits anymore.

-Tell the team we're moving in.
-But, sir, they said

-a lot of people got sick
up here.

'Cause the mutants seem
to be doing just fine.

The humans they're
running around with, too.

-WOLCOTT: Wolcott.
-Sir, it's Agent Turner.

-I think we've got a bead

-on the Mutant Underground
headquarters. -Very good.

Take a run at them
with the SWAT team

-for the lawyers.

You still have that assault team
we used at Fairburn, correct?

-Yes, sir. -Use whatever force
you deem necessary, Turner.

Get it done.

All right, everyone,
I just spoke to the director.

We're going in. I...

Something's wrong, sir.

I think you're making a mistake.
The-the contamination...

I-I don't, uh...

-No.

No. No.

This is it, damn it.

The Hounds aren't wrong.
This is it.

-But, sir, I think...
-Listen to me.

My worst fears
have already come true twice.

We are not backing down.

Whatever you're feeling
right now,

you're gonna fight through it!

We're going in.

Sentinel Services!

: They're coming!
They're coming now!

Everybody, listen up!
This is not a drill!

We're evacuating
right the hell now,

so drop whatever you're doing
and move!

-Sentinel Services is coming.

We got to get
as many people in vans

-and out of here as we can.
-Get the kids.

-Yeah.

-Go find your brother.

You. I need you to help me
get the little ones out.

You'll drive the first van.

-Hide them.

Don't start that crap with me.

Hate me all you want
once everyone's safe,

but right now you will move.

I need all hard drives,
all communication devices!

"Andy!
-Hey_

-Sentinel Services.

-They're coming.

They're attacking our home.
Are we gonna fight?

We will do whatever we have
to do to protect these people.

That is our job.

-Can't get a hold of anyone
at HQ? -It rang a few times,

then cut out; and then when
I just called back, nothing.

John. I can't find Lorna.

What do you mean, you can't
find her? She was just here.

And now she's not.
I looked everywhere.

You're right.

And she's not
the only one missing.

I-ley-

Yeah, something's wrong.
We can't find Lorna.

She left with your sisters.

They're doing what you couldn't.

Campbell and Montez
filed a flight plan.

They fly out of Morrison
Air Center in 20 minutes.

The most important thing
is to make sure

-he doesn't get to D.C. Ever.
-BLINK: Whoa.

It's an assassination now?

Look, I hate
that son of a bitch...

-John. -...but that
goes against everything

-we stand for! No!
-Please. John, please.

If we start killing,
it's gonna make life worse

for mutants everywhere.

John, life is already worse
for mutants everywhere.

-You know I'm right.
-Ah, shut up!

-Marcos...
-Don't say another word!

Now, we are gonna go get Lorna,
right now.

And if I see your eyes
turn blue,

I swear to God I will be
the last thing you see.

Let's go!

It's noble, you wanting
to protect your friends

by keeping them out of this;
sooner or later they'll join us.

-It's a matter of survival.
-It's not gonna happen.

Mutant Underground's
everything to them.

The Hellfire Club protected
mutants once, too, you know.

That's why we're trying
to rebuild it.

We know what you're thinking,
but you have to remember,

-Marcos loves you.
-He'll come around.

Stay out of my head.

Kids.

Let's go. All right.

Come on, Zingo.
Here. Good boy.

-All right.
-Sit in the back.

It's gonna be okay, sweetie.

You know where you're going?

Yeah. Rally point's
Nashville station.

We'll follow as soon as we can.

Hey, good luck.

REED:
They're here!

Get out! Everyone inside!

We need the other van.
There's still more people.

-Get inside. It's too late.

Let's go.

That's great. Let's do another.

Reed, we got to figure out
what to do.

-Well, this should hold them off
for a little.

We're trapped in here.

Look, if these people
getcaughL

-they'll end up as Hounds.
-We have to get them out.

But they'll have teams
on all the exits.

What if we made a new one?

Maybe.

How about the southeast corner?

The vault--
it's partially underground.

They're not gonna have cover
on that side of the building.

If we could get through there,
we might be able to get away.

-I think we have to try.

Okay-

Everyone, listen to me.

We're not gonna give up.

We're gonna fight.

And we're gonna
get out of here today.

Now, I might not have
started out as one of you,

but I am now.

And I am telling you all,

we have a chance
if we work together.

If you've been in combat
training, we need you up here.

Everyone else,
help down in the vault with me.

We don't have much time!
Let's go!

JACE :
This is Sentinel Services.

We've surrounded the building.
Surrender immediately.

I repeat,
we have you surrounded.

Surrender immediately.

Everyone, grab what you can!
Clear a path!

CAITLIN:
You guys, come take this.

-Go.

Straight back in the other room.

-Got another one!

Go ahead.

Okay.

CAITLIN:
Okay.

-|'ll give it a shot.

I can't get through.
Foundation's reinforced.

Shatter!

Can you help us out here?

I got this.

Try again.

All right.

That's good. Just keep going.

Everybody, come help!

Pedro spotted them
coming from the road,

which means they're gonna focus
on the front.

So ourjob is
to stop them there.

-All we have
to do is hold them back

long enough until the others
get us out of here.

-There's no way.
-Skyler, it's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay
if we stand up and fight.

We got to remember
what Polaris told us.

We stick together,
we watch each other's backs,

and we got this.

Naya, Skyler,
you take the right.

Raghav and Zion and you two,

cover the back
in case they come around.

Andy and Lauren...
can you two take that window?

I'm down if she is.

Remember, we're trying
to save this place,

not settle some score.

I'll fight my fight,
you fight yours. Okay?

7|:

JACE:
On my go.

Move in.

We all go. at once.

You ready?

Come on.

Wait for it.

AGENT :
First team in position.

Hold, hold.

AGENT:
Second team in position.

-Advance!
-Now!

Go!

-Get 'em up!

We got gunshots
at the center window.

-Mutants on the left and right.

Damn it!

Just keep going!

Fall back!
All teams fall back now!

Good job!

Okay, stay sharp!

ECLIPSE:
Damn it! I should've known.

It's my fault.
I should've stopped her.

Marcos, you couldn't have known.

It's not like her to do this.

It's not? John, ever since
we broke her out

of that convoy,
you know she's been different.

-And with the baby...
-I know she's had issues

in the past.
Do you think that

-maybe this is...
-BLINK: No way.

I've had friends
who were bipolar.

Assassination plots
are not one of the symptoms.

She's right.

Lorna knows
exactly what she's doing.

You sure you can do this?

I'm sure.

We're not just talking
about your powers.

I know
what you're talking about.

-Your friends are coming.
-Okay, go.

They have to know
I'm not doing this for you.

7|:

CAMPBELL:
Senator,

I am so pleased we're moving
forward on this matter.

Well, as I see it,
getting mutant criminals

off the street
has to be the priority.

-We're saving lives.
-My feelings precisely.

How did you get into all this?

Thank you.

My brother had cystic fibrosis.

He suffered terribly.

I saw firsthand
the horror of genetic disease.

If it's just one person
or humanity itself,

I feel it's my calling
to ease their suffering.

I'll drink to that.

Yes.

Hounds are ready.

JACE: Once they breach,
our squads will follow.

If we're trying
to take prisoners...

No, no, we're not taking
any prisoners. We're past that.

Our instructions are
to end this station.

That's exactly what
we're gonna do. Move in!

AGENT:
Move in.

Let's go.

Move.

That's good.

Just keep going. We got to get
it big enough to crawl through.

I'll get the others.

-Mom.
-Be careful.

We're almost through.

How's it going downstairs?

We're close.
Just a few more minutes.

Well, that may be more
than we have.

We managed to hold off
the SWAT team,

but it looks like
they're bringing in the...

LAUREN:
The Hounds are back!

You take this.
And same as before!

Go!

Get down!

You Okay?

Go to the kids. I'll cover you.

Everyone downstairs now!

Come on!

Come on.

It's working.
They stopped resisting.

We got 'em.

They're getting in!

The barrier's
not gonna hold for long!

-We're through!

Okay, when you get out,
go down the hill.

Stay in the trees.

If they see us,
they'll know where we went.

-They'll catch us out there.
-Mom, Dad.

We can get everyone out.

-If we destroy the building

after getting everyone out,
then we can cover our tracks.

-Everyone will be safe.
-Wait, wait.

Y-You know what that means.

-Yeah, we know.

They're coming!

You did your part.
Let us do ours.

This is not good-bye.

-We will see you outside.
-Come on.

JACE :
If you meet any resistance,

end it.

7|:

7|:

Everybody out!
Everybody out now!

Fall back! Fall back!

Go, go, go. Go.

Lorna!

Babe, we just want to talk.

There's nothing to talk about.

This is just something
I have to do.

-Please stand back.
-We can't do that.

Whoa. Okay.

You're my friend, Clarice,
but don't...

don't try to get clever.

MONTEZ:
And when we get to Washington,

we'll have a narrow path
to push this through.

There's still support
for so-called mutant rights

in some states.

That's why we came to you,
Senator.

And I assume
they'll remember my support

during the next
presidential primary season?

Yes, of course.

Listen, Lorna,
you don't want to do this.

Marcos, I have to.

-For all of us.
-No. No, you don't.

You saw what happened when
innocent people died on 7/15.

Not everyone on that plane
is trying to hurt us.

Innocent people--
you take it down, they die!

There are innocent people
on this side, too.

If I don't take it down,
they die.

-You're wrong!
-You're not a killer, Lorna.

This isn't why
the X-Men chose us.

The X-Men made a mistake.
This is who I am.

ECLIPSE:
Please, just listen to me.

Now, we will figure this out.
I don't care about the X-Men.

I don't care
about the Brotherhood.

I care about my family.

That's what I care about, too.

But I'm tired of hiding.

-We have to take a stand.
-Not like this.

This changes everything.
This will change everything.

Our kid has to live
in this world.

It's time to make a new world.

ECLIPSE:
No, Lorna, please.

Lorna!

-PILOT: This is your pilot.

Please fasten your seat belts.

We're experiencing
engine trouble.

PILOT:
Prepare for emergency landing!

-I repeat,

-prepare for emergency landing.

Don't do it! No, no, no!

ECLIPSE:
Lorna? Lorna!

7|:

It was close,
but we got everyone out.

If it weren't for Lauren
and Andy, we would all be dead.

-It's gone.

Gone
It can't just be gone.

I'm telling you, gone.

It just... I've never seen
anything like it.

No one got out
but the Strucker kids.

You Okay?

Uh,just...

we sacrificed so much.

Uh... any, uh,
any word from Lorna?

Nothing.

I'm sorry.

You all right?

Just trying to wrap my head
around what happened.

-It was them or us. We had to.
-I know that.

They were mutants, too.

They didn't choose to be there.
Campbell made them.

We got out of that lab in time.
They didn't.

Lauren...

REED: Hey, guys.
I just want to say...

what happened today was hard.

But the fact is
you rescued all these people.

You, too, Cait.

I'm proud of our family.

7|:

WOLCOTT: We've reviewed
the operation, and so far,

I'd have to say,
there are grave questions

-about your judgment.

You launched this assault
without proper backup.

With all due respect,
I launched that assault

on your instructions.

My instructions were
to apprehend any terrorists

in a way that secured

the safety of our agents
and mutant assets.

Is this a joke?

We just got hit, and you're
looking for a scapegoat?

It's hardly a scapegoat,

and it's not just
the Mutant Underground.

We lost a United States senator
at the hands

of a mutant criminal
you failed to secure.

Had you been more careful,
both of these tragedies

-might have been averted!
!

You're talking to me
about tragedy?!

I sacrificed everything
for this agency.

I suggest you calm down.

Yeah, I don't need
your damn suggestions.

While you...

you cowards sit here
covering your asses,

real people are dying out there.

Our country-- our species--
is under attack.

You want to play your little...

little bureaucratic games?
You go right ahead.

You can do it without me.

I quit.

WOLCOTT:
Agent Turner. Agent Turner!

THUNDERBIRD: We need to start
thinking about next steps.

With the headquarters gone,

a lot of people
have nowhere to go.

John, we know
what we need to do.

-We need to rebuild.

You heard Sage.
The place disintegrated.

ECLIPSE:
Not about a building.

It's about the network
and the people in it.

Everything we have is gone.

Restart from nothing?
It's not possible.

Besides, anything that we build,

they're just
gonna smash it again.

CAITLIN:

That's not a reason to give up.
That's a reason to fight harder.

Listen,
I get you trying to help,

but you're not even a mutant.

I am. And my children are.

And the Underground
saved our lives.

If the Sentinel Services
comes after another family,

we owe it to them to be there.

SAGE:
I'm sorry, but the fact is

since your family came,

half our stations
have been destroyed.

CAITLIN:
You can't blame us for that.

The Hound program was coming
one way or another.

ECLIPSE:
Okay. Hey!

The X-Men didn't do this 'cause
they thought it would be easy.

They knew
it would be a struggle.

They knew it would
take sacrifice.

POLARIS:
There's nothing noble

about struggle, Marcos.

And sacrifice is just
a pretty name for losing.

Lorna, what are you doing?

I'm telling them the truth.

The Mutant Underground is dying.

That world
where we don't have to hide

that we've always talked about?

I want to build that.

For all of us.

For my baby.

That baby is ours.

And this is
where your family is.

Lorna, you know I will do
anything for you, but...

I can't help you do this.

No one's asking for your help.

The people we're here for--
they know who they are.

What the hell does that mean?

Wh-at?

Fade? Fade.

Sage.

I'm sorry, John.

They ended the Hound program.
This is just about survival.

ECLIPSE:
Guys.

You've got to be kidding me.

No. No way.

Andy, stay where you are.
You are not taking our son!

They're not taking me.
It's my decision.

This thing they're trying
to rebuild, the Hellfire Club,

it's something that our family
was a part of.

And you're the one who's always
talking about helping people.

A war between humans and mutants
isn't helping anyone.

I can't let you do this.

I'm not asking.

What?

Andy.

When we were kids playing X-Men,

we did that...
because they were heroes.

Because they saved everyone.

Please. Don't leave me.

The X-Men are gone.

We're not little kids anymore.

-Andy.
-Andy, no.

I'm-I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to do that.

I love you guys,

but you're my family;
I don't want to hurt you.

Don't try to stop me.

7|:

No.

No, no, no, don't. Don't.
