Previously on Sanctuary.

Pitting humans against abnormals.

Deciding who lives and who dies.

The cabal has to be stopped. It's why I started this mission more than a century

ago. Your mother and her colleagues will no doubt try to stop us. I promise you

they'll fail. You're going to help us complete our plan.

What did you do to me?

See? I told you you'd be better than before.

We know your cabal. You know who we are. Stop acting like a fool.

Name? Kate Freelander. For the record?

I'm not Cabal. So you're what, a freelance operative? Whoever pays me the

most gets my services.

Ashley.

What have they done to you?

Ashley, please.

Will, no!

She was waiting for us.

There wasn't any Ashley you'd know. They've used the source blood to change

her. It's not going to stop there.

They'll be more just like her very soon.

Six operatives are now ready for deployment.

Their first mission will be the most vital to our long-term interests.

The complete destruction of the sanctuary network.

Magnus?

Magnus, wait.

What are you going to do to her?

You know, this isn't bad.

Though I find the peas are a little overcooked.

The cabal location you gave us was a trap.

We barely escaped with our lives. Well, I could see how that would suck.

You set us up.

Okay, time out for a second.

I did not set you up.

You asked for a location. That's the only one I know. Don't blame me if the

cabal is one step ahead of you. It's what they do. Are you completely

incapable of understanding what's happening here?

They've turned my daughter into a...

I want to talk to your contact at the Cabal.

Now.

Dana Whitcomb?

Is that your real name or just the one we'll put on your headstone?

Helen!

Nice of you to call.

You have my daughter. I want her back. Before this escalates any further, I'm

willing to listen to your terms. Well, actually, they're very simple.

We would happily arrange for Ashley to be returned to you. Provided you're

willing to give us what we want. Which is?

Surrender the entire Sanctuary Global Network into our hands immediately.

Your daughter.

Or your work.

You choose.

Tell me you're not actually considering this. It's an impossible choice.

Is it?

If I did capitulate, do you honestly believe that the Cabal would honor their

end of the deal? She's our daughter!

Actually, I'm not so sure about that anymore.

What the hell is she, then? She's exhibited multiple powers.

Teleportation, speed, strength.

Healing powers, super reflexes, vampiric tendencies.

Sound familiar?

Multiple powers? In one very violent package.

Whatever the Cabal has done to Ashley, it's obvious that the source blood is a

key element.

We need to find a way to interfere with it.

You mean a weapon? Yes.

Helen!

To disable her.

Neutralize her powers.

Doc, I'm totally on board with all this, but we have no idea how much they've

messed with her genetic makeup.

Making a weapon to stop her kind of feels like a shot in the dark. Not to

mention neutralizing the effects of the source blood or any mind control drugs.

It could kill her outright. Then make certain it doesn't.

I'll need two weeks. We don't have that. You'll have every resource available,

Nicola. I want a working prototype ready immediately. Henry?

You'll assist.

Okay, so we know the Cabal's real agenda now. They want the entire sanctuary

network under their control. Or destroyed.

Either way, Ashley has intimate knowledge of our security protocols,

communication systems, defense designs.

We changed all the codes when Ashley went rogue, but if she's as powerful as

you say she is, we're going to have to alter every security protocol in the

network. I'll speak to the heads of every facility. Let them know what to

expect. With Ashley, they could bring this entire network to its knees.

Which means that every second is critical.

Work fast, gentlemen.

Spare me. You're intent on going to war while I'm pushing for compromise. So we

surrender every abnormal under our protection. I don't think so. We don't

have to get Ashley back.

We'll fight another day when we're stronger. We both know that day will

never come. You saw what they've done to her. How dare you?

You think your sentiments come from some generous place. They do not.

It's pure ego.

Ego?

Try regret.

Ashley and I did fine on our own, John. Don't waste your time on the past. You

misunderstand me.

Again.

My regret is not because I wasn't here to change nappies or watch her take her

first steps.

It's what I gave her.

What the Cabal has summoned from within her.

And the gifts she inherited from me.

My bloodlust.

You weren't always that way, John.

You were changed.

And like your condition, I'm convinced hers can be managed.

And if you are wrong, what's bread in the bone can't be

undone in the flesh.

You'd think with all the resources available to her, she'd have a more

updated facility.

This place is as backwards as Oxford before the war, the first war.

Yeah, well, I think Dr. Magnus likes to keep the old stuff around for old time's

sake. She trusts it more than the high-tech stuff I try to push on her.

She's incredibly cheap to boot.

I really can't comment on that.

What, paycheck that low?

You don't think we can make a working prototype in time?

Not even close.

A weapon to disable, not kill, someone who possesses the abilities of five of

the most powerful abnormals on Earth.

Ludicrous. Pass me that.

So, how do we instantly affect the viability of Ashley's altered blood?

Localized radiation burst. Obvious. What kind of radiation?

Beta, X, gamma, concentrated, focused exposure.

Possibly, but how to modulate the energy spectrum so that it has the desired

benign effect?

I'm still taking her out.

The reason I'm asking is because I don't know the answer.

And I'm me.

Oh, excuse me.

Back in five.

Well, I'll be here working.

Trying to save the world.

Single-handedly.

I don't understand why you can't just use what we gave you. A bedpan?

Dude, I draw the line at sitting on a metal salad bowl. Fine, but the cups

stay on. Yeah, I can deal. Just get me to a powder room. Fine.

Patient?

Friend.

You have got to be kidding me. Is that a... Yes.

For real?

Do you mind?

Do you know what one of those is worth on the black market?

Seriously.

More than you can make in ten years, dummy.

Lazarus firing?

But I heard there was a cure.

Let's just keep rolling.

Okay.

Good.

We're ready for mission start on your mark.

Start the clock.

You have a go.

I need you to take Nicola and I there right away. We need to get into this

fight. We can't help them. What are you talking about? Why?

Because the entire facility fell in 20 minutes.

Tokyo's gone.

Dr. Hiromata refused to evacuate until his staff were already out.

We found his body in the main lab.

Most of the residents got out safely, but if we'd been housing anything

dangerous at the time... We'd have a much larger problem on our hands. Do you

have any idea how they beat the EM shield?

That should have prevented them from transporting within the facility.

Teleporting within it would disrupt their molecular structure beyond

recognition. They targeted the EM shields right after the breach.

After that, we had no hope against them.

All our defensive weapons were useless.

Get in by brute force, turn off our best defense, take out the head of the house.

All in just minutes.

There's more.

We detected a remotely activated data burst just before the facility was set

on fire. How much information did they steal?

All of it, Dr. Magnus.

The EM shield is the only thing that can stop them. If they continue finding ways

to counteract it, we'll have no defense. Henry Foss is working with his

counterparts at all of your sanctuaries.

He's assembled a list of new security upgrades which include modified shield

codes and better perimeter safeguards. With all respect, Ashley knows every

facility, every security protocol. I'm aware of that.

Henry's new countermeasures were designed with Ashley's knowledge in

mind. That said, I've asked each of you to evacuate all residents and personnel

until this crisis is over. You mentioned a weapon that could potentially stop

these beings. When can that come into play? Soon, I hope.

In the meantime, we're working on finding out which of the sanctuaries

will be the Cabal's next target.

As much as I hate to use this terminology, we are at war.

and one that we are ill-prepared for. Can't we request assistance from the

intelligence community?

Our job is to handle situations exactly like this one. It's why governments

allow us to exist.

If we can't deal with this, there is no other line of defense.

Did you really inject your own blood into little Damien here?

We have to see the effects of the radiation blast on source blood

physiology, and I'm hardly going to do the test on myself.

I hope it doesn't make him too sick.

Oh yes, me too.

Stand back.

Dude,

it's losing its mind!

Interesting.

Hey, making Ashley crazy mad is not in the same category as disabling her. We

learn more from failure than from success, so I've heard.

Great, so basically, we're back at square one. That's awesome. Listen, the

Cabal have been planning this move for decades. I've had two days, a crappy

lab, and Tiny Tim for an assistant, so please cut me some slack.

If you think working with you is a party, think again, Vlad.

Good, you finally showed up.

Quit your whining and get to work.

You look happy.

You heard about Tokyo.

Hmm, sounded rough.

Look, you can help stop this from happening again.

And spare me the I don't work for free speech.

You know the Cabal, their strategies, their methods.

Look, this is a great opportunity for you to buy yourself some credibility.

The head of the sanctuary plus other key personnel were targeted in the Tokyo

attack. And I'm betting they send a remote data burst before they torch the

place too.

Yeah.

You're in for a world of hurt, my friend.

What are they planning?

The Cabal's been dying to cut off the snake's head off the network for

decades. But they can't get to Magnus directly.

But now, thanks to Ashley, they can work both ends against the middle. So they

plan to target the heads of every house.

And I'm betting Magnus Jr. knows all the codes, schematics, and protocols to get

her and her freaky friends into every sanctuary in the world, right? So they

want to isolate us.

Cut us off from each other.

Knock out the other sanctuaries before going after the crown jewel.

This sanctuary is the most heavily fortified.

Once they weaken the global network.

I'm betting they'll hit London as a dry run before coming here.

You seem to know a lot about us.

For somebody who's just a hired gun. You seem to know squat about the cabal.

Not good news for your team, Boy Scout.

Magnus knows a hell of a lot more than you think. Well, then she should use it.

What about Ashley?

You must know something about what they've done to her and how they've

changed her.

Uh-uh.

Like you said, I'm just a freelancer.

Really?

Well, you seemed important enough for them to want to kill you when they

thought you were compromised.

That doesn't mean I have an inside track on all things Cabal. It just means they

like to kill people they don't trust.

Honestly, I'm just here because I'm pretty sure they'll take this place

last. And I just want to enjoy the last remaining peaceful hours of my life

before I begin my career as a hunted fugitive.

You should do the same.

Thanks.

Declan. We just got word Moscow's been hit.

How badly? 15 human casualties, 12 abnormal.

Lots of damage. Beijing, New Delhi, now Moscow.

None of our new security protocols are making any difference.

Did you get the shipment I sent? Both species are in a secured area now. Good.

I want them ready for deployment as soon as possible.

If the pattern holds, we should have at least seven hours before the next

attack.

Welcome to London, gentlemen.

Will, Nicola, this is Declan McRae, acting head of the UK facility.

Dr. Tesla, it's an honor. Is it?

Surely James Watson told you about me before he died.

He did indeed.

In the most respectful terms.

Oh, then the honor is mine. You have big shoes to fill, Mr. McRae. We have a lab

set up for you to continue your work. All according to the specifications you

sent us. I'll need wine. The good stuff. Nothing cheap.

Of course. This way.

Will!

Hey! Clara.

Oh, my God. God, I missed you.

You seem well, Clara.

Hey, Dr. Magnus.

Mr. Durrett, nice to see you.

I see time in the Empire has taught you some manners.

Um... Can you guys excuse us for a bit?

I'm gonna rip Will's clothes off before the bad guys attack.

Okay, hold on a second.

What are you still doing here? I thought you were going to evacuate with the

other residents.

Well, I didn't join up so I could just run away when the going got tough.

I want to help defend the place, and I think I owe Magnus that.

But you heard what happened to the other sanctuaries. It's going to get really

bad here.

Invisible girl.

Really, we need all the help we can get.

Okay, so, they have all these old movies here, the ones with the old British

dudes acting in them.

Now, I don't have any bandages, but...

Okay, that's spooky.

I have control now, Dr. Zimmerman.

Um,

we don't have time for this.

You're going to be recalibrating the EM shield for the next two hours, and I

haven't seen you in weeks.

Okay. Two hours.

We have a tap on their security monitors, and we're detecting high

-spectrum EM frequencies covering the entire compound.

They have their shield up.

Very smart. Essentially takes Druid out of play.

Make it clear they cannot teleport until they disable the shield.

Do you have a preferred point for initial breach?

How about the front door?

Perimeter cameras show four targets outside the facility.

EM shield is active and holding.

Initiate countermeasures.

The front door, they're getting bolder. It's two-inch steel plate. There's no

way they can...

Initial defense is breached. They're beginning their sweep now.

Priority targets are Magnus, Druid, Tesla, Clara Griffin, and Lecrae.

Oh, and Zimmerman if he gets in the way.

Proceed to the databanks on foot until we can disengage the EM shield.

Stand down, Ashley.

They aren't talking to each other, but they're operating in sync.

Telepathic communication.

They'll head to the main databanks in the central lab.

Send their data burst from there. Then they'll target me.

I'm not quite ready to surrender yet, Declan. We stick to the plan.

Nicola, how long?

Almost there. Stop bugging me.

Tag. You're it.

Now that's what I'm talking about.

That's not cool.

How goes the home invasion?

Not as well as we'd hoped.

We're moving to Plan B, which means I need the weapon right now. Just finished

powering it up. But you should know it's hardly my best work. It'll have to do.

It's time you got into the fray.

Ashley's approaching the computer core now.

Your mother would be so disappointed.

Am I supposed to be impressed?

Are you okay?

You're kidding, right?

Magnus, Operation Exxon Valdez is a bust.

Can you draw them into the main lab?

Oh yeah, that shouldn't be a problem.

Seeing as they're trying to kill me and all.

Don't take it personally.

Okay, get going.

I'll give you a head start.

You stay out of sight.

Meet me in the main lab.

I'm impressed.

Two of them on their way.

Okay, it's officially a party now.

Ashley. She'll be right along despite my best efforts.

Sorry Ashley

They're

down life signs They're still alive

Good work Nicola. Believe me. I'm moderately shocked right now quickly get

them into secure cells

Ashley!

Come on, come on!

Someone prepared A to E?

We barely slowed them down.

Clara! Will!

Dammit! I suppression probe brought them in deactivated for the main lab.

They're locked in.

Release the elemental.

The EM shield should keep them from teleporting.

They're under attack.

Dear God.

Damage levels are increasing. We're losing epidermal viability.

How about the EM shield? Still up.

Our German device still hasn't cracked the code.

Abort.

Get them out of there.

There were only three of them in here. Fourth one must have broken them out.

We held the line.

That was the objective.

Though Churchill may have been wrong.

Victory at any cost?

Magnus?

Well, I'm so sorry. She wasn't supposed to be here.

She wasn't supposed to have any part of this.

What now?

We defend our home.

Goodbye, Miss Freelander.

You're free to go.

I heard about London.

I recommend you get yourself to one of the safe houses.

Things are going to get very unsanctuary-like around here. Look, I

can see why you don't trust me.

But let's face it, you could use me in this fight. I know your type.

Greedy, self-interested. I doubt you even know the meaning of the word

loyalty. We both know when things get rough, you'll simply disappear. I was

going to disappear. That was days ago. Or you're biding your time to see who

wins this war, and you'll offer your services to the winner.

Either way, I want you gone.

Hey, Doc.

EM shields at max power on a rotating frequency.

Perimeter defenses are set to long range. I brought a change of underwear

for the night shift.

Have all the residents been evacuated?

Yeah, everyone's been moved to secure off-site locations. Even the shoe's

empty now. It feels crazy.

I know.

Better news, it looks like we've broken the pattern.

23 hours, still no sign of the Super Ashley gang.

God, I'm sorry.

It's a coping mechanism.

It's fine.

You know, a lot of the residents wanted to stay and fight.

Told you I won't see any more abnormals hurt or killed by this war.

I'm just saying this is their home, too.

I understand this has been rough on all of us and I haven't been available much

to you or anyone.

Has he spoken to you?

He won't let us move him and he still won't take the treatment.

He's falling apart in there.

Like he wants to die Hey

doc you're

doing what you have to we've got your back Thank You Henry

You look better.

The others may question your choices.

Your beliefs.

I don't.

We've known each other too long.

We've always understood the need for space.

Freedom to live as we want.

It's the very thing that defines us.

Once we let go of who we are, what we believe to be true, who the hell are we,

for God's sake?

Chattel for the fates like everyone else.

I've always held that despite how complex this world is, compromise is for

the weak.

And the cost of that weakness is too high a price.

No matter how dire the circumstances.

Truth is... I've been wrong all along.

I won't be visiting you again.

I know, I know, I know. The spectrum settings were totally off. I'll fix it.

Nicola, did I ever tell you why my father founded the Sanctuary Network all

those decades ago?

Because he was a crappy doctor?

Because there was a need.

A multitude of beings lost in need of help.

The Sanctuary was founded more out of necessity than for science.

We protect the two dominant species of life from one another.

Humans and abnormals.

It's a fragile balance that cannot be compromised.

If we fail, fear and chaos would reign, and the Cabal would win.

You knew the weapon wouldn't work.

Helen. I asked you to make something that would only disable Ashley, not kill

her.

I realize now that was an impossible task.

Quite impossible.

This is Ashley's.

Before she was changed You realize if I

do this the weapon will be completely effective I Mean completely

Once more into the breach, dear friends.

Once more, or close up the wall with our English dead.

Or we could all just run away.

If only we were that smart.

So that's it?

Nicola promises me it's his finest work.

I'm sure it is.

Maybe somebody else should use it.

Has to be me, and we both know it.

Magnus, she's not Ashley anymore.

I know that's difficult for you to accept. You should leave while you can,

Will.

You've done more than your share.

Yeah, I should.

But like you said, I'm just not that smart.

This is Will.

Bloody hell.

What the hell?

Oh, come on. No way.

Ah, Magnus, we've been hit by a remote hack. I've lost links to all external

networks. It looks like it piggybacked on a cell signal. What about the EM

shield?

Yeah, it's still up.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

We just lost it.

Which means we're hooked.

Ashley and two friends just appeared in the main lab and sensors indicate three

more on the residential level.

Ashley, please.

For the love of God.

You think it'll go better this time?

Woodson Cutters, dear boy, will be fine.

I'm not British. You know, all that tally-ho crap doesn't work on me.

Someone slid a virus past our jamming countermeasures, targeted all of our

primary defensive systems.

Can you get the shield back up?

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm trying to do, but I need to get to the mainframe

already to do it.

Override.

I'm a slow bitch without my remote tablet, which I left in my room.

Henry, it's Will. I'm headed your way. I'll grab your stuff and meet you at the

mainframe. Awesome.

Listen, watch yourself, okay? Alright.

Big guy?

Come on, get in here before they kill you.

It's good to see you, man.

Nice!

Damage is bad. I gotta defrag half the commands in here. Yeah, well, you know,

take your time.

Ashley.

Listen to me.

Please. I don't want to do this.

You don't want to do this.

Ashley!

Do you remember when you were small?

You used to come into my room in the middle of the night.

You'd crawl into my arms and you'd say, Mommy, I'm afraid.

Ashley, I'm afraid.

Get that shield up!

Seriously, any time!

We're good!

Magnus, Druid, EM shield's active again.

You've got to move.

Ashley please.

Thank you.

Didn't hurt.
