Original subtitles

Previously, on Charlie J. They told us parallel universes couldn't exist.

We were living a lie.

I'm a parallel universe.

The billion of the divinity. If that link becomes permanent, this universe

disappears. Your people poisoned your own world, and now you're gonna steal

ours. You don't even think she's a terrorist. You've been programmed,

What did you get in it? Maybe useful.

His name's O -1 Boxer. Crime Boxer's son.

I'm the one who can trap him. Our goal is the same. If the link is reopened, I

will blow it up. O -1 Boxer has done more to hurt Vex Coraline. Either one of

us. Yep. I have to deal with my son.

I'm going home.

I thought you were dead.

I couldn't get home.

At times like this, it helps to remember that that's not the person you loved.

Is that what you'd tell the sobbing widow when you were a policeman?

I want his head.

Who?

He's turned up security measures.

Didn't record a thing.

No proof.

Proof?

I'll have him picked up immediately, Chairman Romkin.

The probate bot will be shortly notify you of the contents of my will. And I

know that you want an explanation.

Since I'm obviously... How can I put this?

Well, I've gone to Gamma.

I have bequeathed my interest in Vexco to my son.

Oh, one box.

Yes, I...

I know it'll be very difficult, but blood is blood. Blood, blood, blood,

Blood is blood. Blood is blood.

Blood, blood, blood, blood. Is blood.

Blood is blood.

Vanessa, I trust that you will support my wishes that you always have.

Your loyalty is... It's big school strength.

one will need your guidance and support through a difficult transition period.

Thank you. Thank you one and all.

A chance to begin again.

Thankfully, you're a bridge to a world of opportunity.

Opening in 48 hours.

Probate vault alert.

Probate vault alert.

We regret... to inform you that your father, Brian Watson, passed away last

night at Vetscore Corporation.

You have inherited a controlling interest in the Vetscore Corporation.

24 hours after receipt of this alert.

Please hold. Your death is important to us.

of our world because we have found a

new world with unlimited resources from which we can replenish our dying world.

It took good care of the place.

It feels different though.

What did you say?

That it feels different.

It's all the same, Charlie.

Your difference.

Yeah.

While I was away.

What do you want to know?

So -so.

He took good care of you, didn't he?

You have no idea what he did for me.

I did what I could.

They know that.

I sent you to get that chip upgrade. You could have... What?

Become an executive?

You left me all alone, Charlie. You disappeared.

And then you took all your stuff.

What did you expect me to do, really?

Why can't you tell me where you went?

I don't even know where to begin.

So it happens now.

Have to go.

Yeah.

How long for this time?

I love what you've done with my place.

Can I get a seat?

Your stuff.

Thanks.

I talked to her.

What did she say?

Said you helped her out.

A lot.

That is suspicious, isn't it?

You and her.

Doesn't matter.

None of it matters.

Well, what does?

This.

And every citizen of our world.

That link is going to open in less than 48 hours.

What of it?

The place I went to.

Everything in it.

Everything. Every person, every molecule.

When this link opens, it's going to disappear. It's going to vanish into

air.

All the executives who went off -world disappeared.

That's where they were. That's right.

Six billion people in an entire universe are going to die so these people can go

swimming in the ocean.

I'm not going to let that happen.

Brian Fox has been murdered.

His son is the prime suspect.

Maybe they won't go through with it amidst all the chaos.

Oh, one's here?

He's dying to inherit the company.

If he isn't fed down for killing his father.

I gotta talk to him.

You can't.

Maybe he can help.

He can't help himself.

You don't know what he's capable of.

I do.

So I can pick rocks?

Yeah. Don't worry.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

I'm gonna crash on your couch, okay?

So, uh, are you gonna tell me what happened?

Yeah, I woke up.

Where's Charlie?

I haven't seen him in a few days.

He had a hunter.

I don't think he's coming back.

It doesn't change a damn thing.

I gotta take my score down, with or without Charlie.

What are you gonna do?

Get a glass of water, please.

You have a visitor.

Pretty please.

Welcome back to Cape City.

Hi, Charlie.

Couldn't stay away, could you? Yeah, it's your charming personality.

Back in prison again?

That'd be a great disappointment to your parents.

Next link open?

Nope.

Then how'd you get here?

The link's not open and I'd like to see it stay that way.

How about you?

Does he know?

Yeah.

I think I made myself pretty clear on how I feel about the link.

Hey. Hey.

I have something that might be up your alley.

Listen, I, uh...

heard anything from him. I know, and I've just been checking with John Doe's

the morgue. Nothing yet.

But I did find something odd.

It's not necessary.

You're harboring a fugitive, Carl. I will shoot you. Get out of the way!

What happened to Charlie happened to her.

Just think about what Charlie showed you. Charlie's not here, Carl.

Think about it.

It's Vex Corps that say that she's a terrorist.

Vex Corps!

Do you really want to do their dirty work?

Those men in the photograph, were they radioactive when you found them?

They put an assistant coroner in the hospital.

What do you know about them?

Can we go see the bodies? Why?

Because somehow they fit into all of this.

I know it.

I'd really like to help you guys out.

But you've got to get rid of that. The chain of over -linking him to the crime

is weak.

Essentially, she's been held on her orders.

You really think I killed my father?

I really couldn't care less if you killed your father.

What do we need to take down Esser Romkin?

Every one of us who's

gone over there, we've all been sent up to Esser, and none of us ever came back.

They shredded him. They what?

Dear old dad needed a transfusion.

I wasn't around.

Essa must have grabbed any freak she could find that had been through the

and squeezed his leg till the juice ran down his leg.

How'd you get back here, Charlie?

Still, we're sparkling tap figures.

You know that tingling you feel when you shift from one world to another?

That's you.

Changing.

On a molecular level.

That's you.

Dying. Little by little, amigo.

And those changing molecules... What? They're what kept dear old dad alive and

kicking? Etherum can murder this man.

That's just the cost of doing business.

It's been a while since I checked the statutes, but I believe killing

is still technically illegal.

For this transfusion, you'd need a lab technician, right?

So there's a witness.

We get him.

Can we take Essa down?

For about half an hour.

That's all you're going to need, right?

If I walk out of here, I inherit.

The link stays down.

This doesn't make us friends.

Don't go getting all sentimental on me. Well, if we're all done here, let's find

the technician.

Come here.

It's time to split up.

They're after me now.

Don't know how long this is going to work.

Find the missing person.

A misper.

Easy, right?

Done it my whole career.

Grab Romkin's technician, make him tell me what he knows, and switch her for

Boxer.

Yeah, easy.

So why was I feeling so edgy?

Like I'd never walked these streets before.

So -so found me the guy's name.

Bram Larkin.

He'd been missing for a week.

Three major ectoskin outages in Cape City. Now this guy's a techie. Sharp.

He's not going to count on blackouts. He's going to try and get off the grid.

Yes, you're right.

Lost position puts him near the graves.

But that suicidal atheter wouldn't last five minutes in the graves. No, that's

where he is.

He's going to try and fill up some tech.

Buy his way out.

Are you my last meal?

Kind of suspicious, don't you think?

Put son in jail.

Grab son's shares.

Stay chairman.

Your father brought a few of your mother's things back with him from his

Your wife.

I used to love it in here.

A whole neighborhood that operated outside the system. Just like I did.

If Larkin didn't want to be found by Vexcor, this is where he'd hide.

Are you selling that?

Not today, sister.

There's no signal in the graves, you know.

Yeah, I know.

Just making sure.

Why?

Somebody looking for you.

Maybe.

Where do I go if I don't want to be found?

Hello, friend.

I'll take you someplace quiet.

Yeah, let me guess.

The guy checks out the new fish.

I'm looking for one. His name's Larkin.

He'll be selling quality stuff.

I could tell you for a price.

Is that him?

You can't go poking.

this guy was spooked why was he running so hard from me what was he so terrified

of

False trauma.

They knocked him out before.

Ice pick in the ear.

Expert placement. Minimal bleeding. So you can sell the clothes up.

They can't sell the organs.

No hospitals in the grave.

Mexico. No question.

They're a step ahead of us.

This is interesting.

What is?

Fake skin.

Oh, recent surgery.

Who's this?

Okay, there's a break in the biometric data stream for about 20 minutes to 8

hours ago.

Data starts coming back.

It's different. It's someone else.

This is Larkin's chip.

There's no way that's his body.

So they switched chips. Larkin gave his to this man and went on the run.

A decoy.

Well, he's a dead decoy now.

How would do that?

Find out who he is. Then we'll know who's Chip Larkin's running around with.

Hold on a second.

That's interesting.

You betcha.

Follow the tattoo.

First thing I gotta do is find the connection between the real Larkin and

dead guy in the morgue.

Nice tat.

You know this guy?

Never seen him before in my life. You're holding up the queue.

This guy bothering you?

Great, my savior.

I think you're gonna need a couple more bouncers, pal.

I'm taking a break.

Try not to kill him.

You going to make my life difficult?

The lip.

You're going to need to learn how to curl your lip.

I'm still going, all right?

Sure. I try to be intellectually intimidating.

Yeah.

Somebody quit on you in the past couple days?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Yeah.

Janice could, yeah.

Knew how to curl his lip?

That's the dude.

Something happen to him?

Yeah, he's in the morgue.

Are you sure it's safe to be in here?

Especially after what happened to those coroners?

Yeah, that's because they opened him up.

Strangely enough, we found a high concentration of lead inside his body.

It must be shielding us as well.

Did you find a... a piece of equipment?

Something...

Like a device you couldn't identify, something.

I'll be right back.

I have an address.

The honest concierge has a minor criminal record.

And his chip is still active.

Even though he's dead, so they did swap chips.

Lorcan must have paid him to go on the run for him.

Nobody would do that for money. It's a death sentence.

Yeah, for what then?

What do you think, Charlie?

Man will do anything for love.

It wasn't doing that before.

Give me a few hours of this. I'll tell you what it does.

How do you know all this?

I don't know.

All right.

Now all I had to do was chase a real name and a real address.

Larkin was hiding inside the identity of his lover.

No wonder I was going to take the news.

Talk to you for a minute.

I'm on your side. I know what you saw.

Where is Janusz?

He's dead.

I got him.

I got him in the graves.

No. I'm sorry.

I told him not to.

He said he had the best chance.

I can go.

Oh, God.

It's like I killed him.

I killed him. Oh, my God.

We never should have switched chips.

Oh, God.

What your friend did, it was brave.

Don't let the company get away with his murder.

How am I going to live long enough to go up against S .R. Rumpkin? Come with me.

I can protect you.

It doesn't have to go this way. They don't have to win.

together. These two risk so much.

Still got ground down like every other poor bastard in this rat hole.

Well, not everybody's as clever as you are, Charlie.

Yeah, just like we thought. They switched chips.

That's odd.

He has a second chip.

The beers.

Why the hell would he be hiding to pierce that D -chip?

That might explain why he ran.

Get a reading on this.

The guy was brilliant.

He should have been C -2.

And in the other world, he could have been anything he wanted.

Must be pretty nice in your other world, Charlie.

Yeah. Oh, this is creepy.

The biometric record doesn't actually record a death.

Just parts of him are gone.

And then some more parts. It's like spinning through a giant shredder.

And there's someone else on a chip.

If I can just find it.

If you're seeing this, I'm probably dead.

And if I'm dead, I want everyone to know why.

We got her.

Furthermore, he did it on the direct orders and with the legal complicity of

Chairman Romkin.

What are you doing here?

Essa, this time you've gone too far.

Get out. Stay.

We've been unhappy with your stewardship for some time. And now you're

implicated in a sordid little murder.

It's the two cars.

Would you kindly escort Miss Romkin to a holding cell?

Of course.

that the company comes first.

Scandal's bad for business.

We shall overcome.

This is over. Reliance on the link has brought this company nearly to ruin.

She was a secretary.

Owen, we need to know that we can count on you.

That your colorful days are behind you.

Renew not.

Your chair is just vested.

You're recommending an installationless chair.

Effective immediately.

Welcome.

Oh, it's, uh... It's been a pleasure working for you.

Absolutely. But one that we're recovering from already.

VexCore is strong and healthy.

And with new blood, comes new solutions.

The future.

No, the present.

This moment.

Right now.

It's brighter than ever.

Hi.

We here at VexCore have realized that the present moment is all there ever is

going to be.

It's over.

I did it.

What did you do? Your VexCore are creating a better product for you and

families.

Just to let you know, I'm the new emperor of Vetskor.

Slate's real, amigo.

Authenticated all you like. I'll wait.

Just to let you know, the bounty hunter you sicked on Charlie Jade, I'm changing

her contract.

So if I'm you, I'm learning how to play the fiddle.

Rome's burning.

So you're a hero.

Yeah.

Why aren't you happy?

This place.

Everyone in it deserves more.

It just keeps getting worse.

I missed you.

So -so told me.

If you had a choice, who would you choose?

A choice?

Yeah.

Say it's up to you.

I love you.

I know that.

I know.

But if it was up to you...

You weren't here.

You never came home.

Even when you were here, you weren't here.

Not really.

Do you love him?

Would you trust him?

Does it even matter what I think?

You always made the decisions for me. Are you here, Charlie?

Are you ready to be here with me?

Now?

You deserve someone.

At once.

You, more than anything else in the world.

You do.

Are you going out?

Come home.

Malaysian workforce is over by 20%. Cut it.

Reschedule the debt payment at 20 months.

Sir. Charge back suppliers.

8 % across the board. They ran those projections.

I know that.

We need the resources from Gamma.

They say if the link doesn't go up, sir, you'll lose the company.

Thank you.

I hope you'll congratulate this person.
