"Will?" "Will!" "Kate!" "Henry?" "Kate?" "Bloody hell!" "Henry!" "Henry, are you all right?" "Oh, head..." "Ow." "Head." "Ow..." "Oh, take it easy." "You've had a nasty blow." "I think you have a concussion." "Henry, what the hell happened, and where are the others?" "Uh.." "I don't remember..." "Henry!" "Sanctuary 3x12 Hangover Original Air Date on April 22, 2010" "Welcome back." "Wow." "At least I only see one of you now." "Making progress, then." "How are you feeling?" "Any nausea?" "No, but I do have the entire cast of Stomp in my head, and they're not happy." "Ah, gently, gently..." "Here." "Take these for the pain." "Thanks, Doc." "Holy crap!" "Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth." "What happened?" "Well, you tell me." "The place is a shambles, the front door was unlocked, the alarms were off." "There's no sign of Will, or Kate, or" "Let me think for a second." "What day is it?" "It's Tuesday." "No, wait, you're here." "I just got back from the conference." "So it's Thursday?" "What the hell happened to Wednesday?" "What's your name?" "Henry Foss." "And mine?" "Helen Magnus." "All right, so not total amnesia." "Probably just short-term memory loss resulting from the blow to your head." "Ah!" "Look at me." "I'm bleeding." "All right, all right, take it easy." "Think back." "What's the last thing you remember?" "Uh, it's Tuesday afternoon..." "You called me into your office." "I'm just about to leave for a conference." "I won't be back until the day after." "Then I'll fly in Thursday, meet you in the afternoon." "Perfect." "I'll have my car pick you up at the airport." "I'm sure you understand this is just a pro forma inspection, but in light of several events this past year" "Understood, and it's perfectly fine." "I look forward to welcoming you to the Sanctuary." "Until Thursday afternoon, then." "Goodbye." "Bye." "Wow, who's the hottie?" "She is the chief of the U.N. security team." "She also speaks four languages, was the American envoy at the G-20 Summit, and has three PhDs in international law and finance." "Oh, my apologies." ""Dr. hottie."" "Her name is Lilian Lee, and I trust you'll be on your best behavior?" "You need to work on your jump." "Dude, you're seven feet tall!" "That's an unfair advantage." "Sore loser." "I've got a plane to catch, but when I get back," "I want this place in tiptop shape for Dr. Lee's inspection." "You have a sizable amount of paperwork on your desk." "Yes, more filing." "It's my favorite thing in the world." "Could you please have it done by tomorrow?" "I want to be ready in case of an audit, and Henry, the new abnormal that arrived this morning?" "One cuddly little mollox ready for intake." "I am on it." "Check security protocols, and make sure that the armory is in proper order." "No stray grenades." "Check." "And I think we should lock down some of the more aggressive residents." "Especially the Kryton on Level Four." "You know how nervous she gets with new faces." "You think the U.N. Inspector would object to being pelted with acidic bile sacs?" "I think it's best if we play it safe." "Right, then, I'm off." "Cell phone reception can be a bit spotty in Gstaad." "Oh, poor you." "But I will be briefing the other heads on hollow earth, so you can reach me on a land line." "Doc, don't worry about it." "We've got everything under control." "We're going to pass this inspection with flying colors." "Absolutely." "You won't recognize this place when you get back." "Great." "See you in a day and a half, then." "Bye!" "Afteryouleft, I went down to the intake area." "One mollox..." "Country of origin, Sri Lanka." "Date of birth, unknown." "Name..." "Let's go with "Skippy."" "All right, Skippy," "I think it's lunch time." "Okay..." "Hey, you must be hungry, little dude." "Holy hell!" "Ah!" "Will, Kate, help!" "Come on!" "Oh, God..." ""Skippy," my ass." "And then after that, bupkiss." "Odd." "Yeah, tell me about it." "The mollox isn't a violent creature." "It's not even a carnivore." "Then why did it try to take a bite out of me?" "Good question." "Perhaps it's a virus of some kind." "It might have been infected during transport." "Containment?" "Perimeter sensors are intact." "I noticed that on the way through the main gates." "Okay, so nothing's escaped." "I need to find that mollox, find the others, and find out what on earth happened around here while I was gone." "Damn." "Security cameras are down." "What?" "That's impossible..." "Oh, what the hell?" "That video could've answered a lot of questions." "It's probably just a glitch." "Let me try a hot patch." "Maybe that'll reconnect the server." "I'm going to check on the shoe, make sure all the habitats are secure." "All right." "Here we go." "Excuse me?" "Oh, come on, what do you mean "access denied"?" "I'm the guy that wrote your code!" "Will?" "Kate?" "I found our mollox." "Yeah, deadly little bastard, isn't he?" "Quite the contrary." "He's his usual docile self, not showing any signs of viral infection." "What?" "Why'd he go all Tasmanian Devil on me, then?" "I'm running some tests, but it's too early to tell." "I also called Declan." "He's alerting the other Sanctuary heads that we have a breach, and back-up is standing by." "How are you coming?" "Okay." "I had to do a little backdoor double-clutching to reset everything, but this should gain me access to the new passcode." "Which is right..." "Right there." ""Geddy Lee?"" "Yeah, it's the lead singer of Rush." "Isn't that Will's favorite band?" "You don't suppose it was Will who-- locked me out?" "Hmm." "Know what else he did?" "He tried to wipe the server hard drive." "It's a good thing he didn't do a final delete pass." "This doesn't make any sense." "Why would Will compromise our own security system?" "I don't know, but I'll tell you what, when I find him, I'm gonna rip him a new" "Whoa, hang on." "There we go." "Can you clean up that image?" "No, not without doing a full recovery, which will take some time." "Hey, there's Will." "Clearly being pursued by someone." "Or something." "Or me!" "Why am I chasing Will?" "Why am I pointing a gun at Will?" "I shot him?" "Oh, my God." "I shot Will!" "What's wrong with me, Doc?" "Am I going crazy?" "Highly doubtful." "I have a feeling there's a far more prosaic reason for what's going on here." "Yeah." "Huh, okay..." "Why don't I remember shooting Will, then?" "Huh?" "I know I forget my cell phone number sometimes, or my Warcraft passcode, but shooting Will should kinda stick out in my memory." "That's the residential corridor." "I passed by that broken vase earlier." "Will wasn't there anymore." "I don't think you killed Will, Henry." "I think you just stunned him." "How do we know?" "Maybe I just stunned him so I could go back for the kill and then hide the body." "He's not answering his radio." "If will's alive, where is he?" "Let's not jump to any conclusions." "I'm going to start a systematic search of this facility, top to bottom." "All right." "Let me see if I can recover some more video footage." "Let's find out what else I've done that I don't remember." "Oh, come on!" "I have to go back to my lab and do a sector-by-sector recovery of these files." "Before you do, just give me one second." "Why?" "What are you doing?" "I need to take a sample of your blood." "Aw, yeah, see, there is something wrong with me." "The mollox isn't showing any signs of viral infection, but that doesn't mean we can't rule out any airborne contaminants that might have slipped past our quarantine protocols." "No blood." "Kate!" "I'm going to kill them!" "Who?" "Whoever did this to me!" "You don't know?" "No." "I just woke up and..." "I found myself lying here." "God, my head..." "I'm beginning to detect a pattern." "All right." "Tell me what you do remember." "Um..." "Uh..." "I don't know, I..." "I..." "I just finished organizing the armory and I passed by Will's office..." "Hey, I'm gonna get a sandwich." "You want anything from the kitchen?" "Uh, yeah, um, how about something sharp so I can slit my wrists?" "Uh..." "I don't suppose you want" "Yes!" "Yes, thank you." "You can take "A" through "L", and, Kate, I really appreciate this." "Oh, my pleasure." "Will, Kate, help!" "The new intake." "Henry?" "What the hell?" "Empty." "There's a walkie's gone." "So is his stunner." "I'll scope out the upper levels." "You take the lower." "All right, let the big guy know, and stay in radio contact." "SoI headedonto the residential corridors..." "Hank?" "Hey, will, I've got nothin' so far." "How about you, any luck?" "Yo?" "Come in, William." "Weird." "What's weird?" "First Hank puts out a 911, and then disappears, and now will's gone awol." "Have you seen either of them?" "No, but let's check the cameras." "There he is." "Hank, come in." "You okay?" "Dude, I can see you on the monitor." "Maybe his radio's off." "No, he just used it to call for help." "Something  is wrong." "Keep an eye on him." "Hey!" "You okay?" "Get the hell away!" "Okay, rewind." "You're the one who called us for help, remember?" "You almost gave Will and me a heart" "Holy crap, Hank!" "Are you nuts?" "The next thing I know..." "I wake up in the closet, and you're..." "You're back early." "It's Thursday." "No, but that means..." "You lost a day." "You and Henry both." "Oh, my God..." "Hank tried to shoot me!" "He-he probably doesn't remember it." "He certainly doesn't remember shooting Will." "Will got shot too?" "Yeah, and I've yet to find him." "This is giving me an ice cream headache." "Join the club." "It seems like everything went pear-shaped shortly after Henry processed the new intake." "You think an abnormal did this to us?" "I've checked the mollox." "There's no sign of any viral infection, and Henry's bloodwork came back clean." "Slight spike in adrenaline, but that could be due to stress." "So it's not contagious." "And it's not an airborne pathogen." "But something clearly altered our behavior and messed with our heads, right?" "What does Biggie have to say?" "I haven't found him yet either." "Okay." "What about the surveillance videos?" "As a matter of fact, I'm expecting an update." "Henry, how are you coming?" "Henry, come in." "Dammit." "I know, I shouldn't have left him alone." "I'm gonna kill you!" "Come on, come on!" "Bloody hell." "You son of a bitch!" "I'm gonna kill you!" "Stop it!" "Stop it, both of you!" "Get off him!" "Will, enough!" "I have business with him!" "I said time out!" "Somebody start talking, and it better be good!" "Tried to shoot me!" "One at a time!" "You first." "No, no, no, me?" "No, I'm not the one you should be concerned with." "It's these two who need to be locked up." "Me?" "What'd I do?" "Nobody is doing anything until I get some answers." "Now, it is obvious that the three of you have fallen victim to some sort of hallucinogenic pathogen." "I do not know the method of transmission, but I do know this-- we will only solve this problem if we approach it scientifically, and not emotionally." "All right." "Fine." "Fine." "Fine." "Now.." "Henry and Kate lost a sizable chunk of time, and I suspect you did as well." "They were able to tell me what happened up until the time they blacked out." "Now to you." "I was in my office..." "Sitting at my desk..." "Filing." "Level Four and the shoe, all secure." "Good." "Oh, hey, uh..." "Does that mean you're free?" "Why?" "Well, I could really use a hand with all this paperwork." "I'd love to, really, but my hands..." "What about your hands?" "Too big and hairy." "That's why I gave up needlepoint." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, so microsurgery you can handle, it's fine" "I've dusting to do." "But filing is..." "He's a big hairy liar." "Hey, I'm gonna get myself a sandwich." "Need anything from the" "I'm going to stop you there." "Kate, you said that Henry called for help, and the two of you came down here." "Yes!" "Yes, he was missing, and the two of us went looking for him because we care!" "I started on the lower levels, and then worked my way up to the residential area." "Henry?" "Henry?" "Henry, come in." "Hey, where you been, man?" "What the f" "Whoa, whoa, whoa..." "Hey, hey..." "Hey, it's me!" "Dude, it's me, okay?" "Don't make me" "Ah!" "Andafterthat?" "Well,I don'tknow, because after that," "I woke up on the floor with a splitting headache!" "How many times do I gotta say I'm sorry?" "I radioed for Kate, no answer." "Probably because he had already taken me out." "Guys, I'm sorry!" "I got in touch with the big guy, and the two of us went looking for him." "Aw, dude..." "No, no, no, do not "dude" me, okay?" "Do not use the word "dude"" "in reference to me ever again!" "Will!" "Come on." "It's obvious Henry was not himself, and he has apologized..." "For shooting you." "The shooting?" "Oh, I'm all over that." "No, the shooting was amateur hour compared to what happened next." "You want to sweep the north wing, and I'll check out the lab level?" "Sounds good." "Okay, we'll meet back in Magnus's office." "Stay sharp." "Yeah." "Kate, come in." "Kate!" "Whoa!" "Seriously?" "Ah!" "I'm not your lunch!" "Thanks." "De nada." "What is that smell?" "Uh... me." "Why?" "Garbage compactor tried to eat me." "You're being attacked too?" "Uh-huh." "Have you called Magnus?" "Tried." "All the com systems are down." "What about her cell phone?" "The em shields are at full strength." "Signal's scrambled." "Come on." "What?" "I'm not getting in that elevator." "This building's possessed, again." "It's not the building this time." "I got a good idea who it is." "Soweheadeddown to the mainframe." "Henry!" "Stay away from me!" "Henry, this is crazy!" "Henry..." "What the hell's the matter with you?" "Nice." "I'm shutting down security." "There's no telling what kind of death trap he's put on auto-pilot, and just to be safe," "I'm locking him out with a new passcode." "He'll have to be restrained." "Yeah, go ahead." "Where the hell is Kate?" "Hey, there you are!" "How come you haven't answered your" "Keep away from me." "Don't come any closer." "Oh, come on." "First him and now you?" "I'm warning you." "It's me, Will." "Why don't you just put the gun down-- or not!" "Can somebody please tell me what the hell's going on with everyone around here?" "That'swhen it all goes blank." "A few minutes ago," "I woke up in the basement," "I realized that Benedict Arnold here had hacked back into the security system, and since I didn't feel like being sliced apart by a laser" "Look, I said I was sorry, okay?" "I wasn't myself at the time, and I don't remember doing those things to you." "Or you." "What's a little gunfire between friends?" "Will, Henry is fine now, I assure you, as is Kate, and you seem to have stabilized as well." "Pfft." "So, what are we supposed to do?" "Just wait around until one of us snaps again?" "We're obviously dealing with an abnormal attack, some creature, or energy, determined to pit us against each other." "But to what end?" "Yeah, but what kind of abnormal gets its rocks off wanting to see us fight?" "None that I can think of, and that's the problem." "There's obviously a deeper purpose to this whole scenario." "Somebody who wants to eliminate us, or take over the Sanctuary, again." "Ethernet connection is up again." "Good, I want a video conference as soon as possible" "Uh-oh." "Emails are coming through, and there's one from Lilian Lee's office." ""My afternoon flight was canceled."" "Ah, thank God." ""I will be taking an earlier flight."" ""Will be arriving Thursday at 11:00 a.m."" "That was like three hours ago." "You don't think she's...jere?" "Did any of you..." "No!" "But we wouldn't remember anyway." "Ah, we are screwed." "All right, let's not panic." "Really?" "Because we have trashed the place, we've attacked each other, there's a psychosis-inducing abnormal on the loose, we may have killed the U.N. Security Inspector." "Call me crazy, but this seems like a pretty excellent time to panic." "You guys hear that?" "No, I don't hear anything." "What are you picking up?" "A bell." "In the south corridor." "All right, we'll check it out." "You stay here, get that video restored." "It's coming from in here." "Henry hasn't got the systems online yet." "All right, let's do it manually." "Took you long enough." "Hang on." "Whoa, dizzy." "Yeah, it's all the blood rushing from your head." "How long were you hanging up there?" "I don't know." "Who did this to you?" "It must have been something big." "Can't..." "Remember." "I thought all the abnormals were secured." "You..." "Whoa-ho, whoa!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "What did I do?" "You stay away from me!" "Oh..." "Henry." "Enough." "And then nothing." "Two minutes ago I woke up in the elevator." "You locked me in the closet." "Had to." "And you drugged us." "For your own safety." "Can we just declare complete amnesty for all past transgressions?" "Please." "The last thing I need right now is a bunch of in-fighting." "Fine." "Do you think we'll ever get back our memories?" "With time, I hope so." "If we could fill in those lost hours, we could answer a lot of questions." "Exactly." "For example, if everyone was knocked out by the sleeping gas, who strung you up in the elevator?" "Hey, Doc, come in." "Go ahead, Henry." "Think I've finally got something." "It ain't perfect, but" "I'll take it." "We're on our way." "Thanks." "Stop right there." "Isn't that" "Dr. hottie." "The U.N. Security Chief?" "Carrying a stunner." "Oh, this is not good." "How did she get in?" "Will shut down all the security protocols." "Because they were trying to kill me." "Where is she?" "I haven't seen her." "None of us have." "You think she's infected?" "Well, why else would she shoot Biggie?" "Self defense?" "I didn't touch her." "I don't think." "Henry, can you rewind the video back to the part where will was lying on the floor?" "You spotted Dr. Lee?" "No, but something, perhaps." "Nice." "Don't mention it." "Henry, go back again." "And slow it down this time, frame by frame." "There!" "Magnify." "Ugh!" "What was that?" "Aw, gross." "Doesn't even begin to cover it." "Don't worry." "Don't worry, it's not on you anymore." "How do you know?" "Because you're not trying to kill us." "Do you know what this is?" "It's called a Pinnepex, a creature so incredibly ugly that it's developed a unique defense mechanism." "It makes you crazy?" "It releases a powerful pheromone into the bloodstream that compels stronger creatures to protect it." "It must have come in hitching a ride on the mollox." "Oh, that's why skippy attacked me." "Skippy?" "On Tuesday, when Henry uncrated the mollox, the Pinnepex must have jumped over to him." "So, then what, I'm just under its spell after that?" "One of the side effects of the pheromones is rapid adrenaline production, which would account for your increased strength and aggression." "Okay, so any time any one of us was shot or taken out-- it jumped over to the next protector." "Exactly." "So you knew about the roofie monster?" "Well, this creature was supposed to have been extinct for the last 50 years." "I'm guessing that's why its biological signature never registered." "It was never in our database." "Oh, guys, I think I've found our Pinnepex." "She's headed for the catacombs." "We can't go in there unprotected." "If that creature were to jump onto one of us..." "Yeah, we could turn on each other." "Again." "I think I may have a solution." "The sex inhibitor pheromone of the red bollworm." "Pfft." "Why didn't I think of that?" "Ow." "Obviously this is a hastily engineered synthetic, but it should do the trick." "No sex?" "I don't need a shot for that." "It should provide us with temporary immunity to the Pinnepex." "Three of us will enter via the basement tunnels." "Henry, Kate, go in through the vaults under the courtyard." "Check." "And let's try it the easy way first." "Failing that, standard 3-2 formation with defensive extraction." "And stun only, please." "I want to capture both the Pinnepex and the U.N. Security Chief alive." "Tranqs it is." "So far, so good." "Do you see her?" "I'll hit the end of the basement by the boilers." "Maybe I'll go wide, do an end run..." "On second thought..." "Cover me." "Whoo!" "Dr. Lee!" "Lilian!" "We're not here to hurt you!" "Oh!" "Back off!" "Don't come any closer!" "So much for the easy way." "Will..." "Well done, everyone." "It's ugly." "Well, I'd rather be ugly than extinct." "You-- nah, too easy." "Don't you listen to them." "I think you're beautiful." "Okay, well, that's half our problem solved." "What about miss united nations over here?" "Well, luckily, like the rest of you, she won't remember a thing." "That's the final stage of the creature's defense system." "Once the pheromone wears off, the predator doesn't remember that the Pinnepex ever existed, so it doesn't go looking for it." "It's rather ingenious, really." "Right." "While she's sleeping this off, we've got some cleaning up to do." "...And so I agree with you, these new quarantine protocols are" "oh, dear, not again." "What..?" "Where..?" "I'm afraid you've had another episode." "Dr. Magnus?" "I was really hoping these little blackouts had stopped." "W-what blackouts?" "How did I..?" "You honestly don't remember?" "Well, at least your pulse is back to normal." "Now, tell me, what's the last thing you can recall?" "When I landed, I called." "I couldn't get an answer, so I took a cab over here." "And that's when you hit your head." "I what?" "Getting out of the cab." "I came down to the gate to meet you." "I apologized for not getting your earlier email, otherwise of course my car would have been waiting for you at the airport." "You were stepping out of the cab, and you struck your head on the door." "I did?" "Caused a total blackout." "You came to a few seconds later, but there have been a couple of recurrences." "It's all very odd." "Here you go, Dr. Lee." "Milk, no lemon, just like you asked." "Uh, doctor.." "Zimmerman." "I'm afraid we've had another blackout." "Okay." "I know you only asked for the last six months of security logs, but it was just as easy to pull the entire year, and besides, we've got nothing to hide." "You're telling me we've met?" "And I asked for those?" "Oh, another blackout." "Minor one." "I'm hoping it's the last." "In fact, I anticipate a full recovery -- just hang- hang on." "Something's not right here." "How about a sip of tea?" "What about a cookie?" "You may have low blood sugar." "It's starting to come back to me now." "It is?" "Yes." "Yes, the front door was unlocked." "The front door is never unlocked." "I walked inside." "On your own, without entering the security code?" "There was a chair overturned on the floor, and some crates stacked up high, and then a big, furry Sasquatch came straight at me, and-and..." "That's it." "Well, sometimes the mind can play tricks-- don't patronize me, any of you." "Do you think I got to where I am by being an idiot?" "No, we don't, I assure you." "Then please have the decency to be honest with me." "You're right." "The truth is, there was a situation with our most recent intake." "Which inadvertently admitted a psychosis-inducing abnormal into the Sanctuary." "Basically, we all went postal and trashed the place." "You came in at the tail end of the event, and were temporarily infected yourself." "But you're fine now." "We all are." "You realize, Dr. Magnus, that this is a very serious event." "I do, but there's something you must understand." "Our perimeter security was never compromised-- this time." "Dr. Lee..." "This is a Sanctuary." "It's not a zoo." "We deal with abnormal creatures, and, yes, sometimes they're dangerous." "That's why we're here." "It's what we do, it's our job, and quite frankly, we're good at it." "We've been good at it for 149 years." "I see." "So tell me..." "What exactly did happen to me?" "Come take a look." "This is Henry shooting me." "There's Will going after me." "Will, crashing through a table." "What the hell am I doing?" "Well..." "I believe you're trying to kill my colleagues, but I'm willing to overlook it." "Dr. Lee, in my work, the United Nations has always been a very powerful ally." "I hope you'll think of me in the same way." "Please, call me Lilian." "Thank you." "Now, if you're still interested, we'd be delighted to give you a proper tour of the Sanctuary." "I wouldn't miss it for the world." "This way." "You've done this before." "Once or twice."
