"Previously on Dollhouse..." "As long as Clyde's partner is still out there," "Rossum will go on." "We have to cut the head off the snake." "And Caroline's the only one who's ever met that snake." "Where's the wedge?" "Gone." "Caroline's missing." "Saunders did this." "Rossum got to her." "A sleeper." "Do you recall your former neighbor, Mellie?" "You insisted she come along," "I insist she be someone who trusts you entirely." "We're about to go to war." "Go, be with each other, even if it's just for the night." "Any good battle plan must be fluid." "We'll be going into full lockdown mode." "Where the hell is security?" "Why me?" "Because you're very special." "You're going to help us in ways you can't understand." "And I'm just gonna trust you?" "With your life." "Two Years Ago" "I know what you're doing here." "I know all about Rossum's sick experiments." "So I gather." "You're quite the supersleuth." "You can't do anything to me." "People will find out." "People... will find out?" "Caroline, don't be silly." "We both know you could vanish off the face of the earth, and not a soul would notice you were gone." "Did you know that Rossum is the world leader in producing MRI machines?" "Congratulations." "Who cares?" "We're also on the cutting edge of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's research." "Developing the newest atomic force microscopes." "We have clinical laboratories in every major city in the world." "You know, like, if you've had your blood drawn to see if you're a suitable bone marrow donor for your cousin who has leukemia." "Rossum likely tested that blood." "What did you say?" "We like to keep the medical records of everyone who crosses our path, especially the interesting ones." "And, Caroline, you are definitely interesting." "At least on a microscopic level." "What the hell do you want from me?" " Just a few years of your life." " No way." "You're gonna have to kill me." "I won't need to." "You've committed terrorist acts." "At best, you're looking at a lifetime in a federal prison." "That's if they don't stick a needle in your arm." "Adelle DeWitt is downstairs." "She's going to make you an offer." "To what?" "Let you brainwash me?" "Not a chance." "Believe me when I tell you, Caroline, this is your only chance." "You are special." "You have amazing potential." "I want to see exactly how far you can go." "And I promise you," "I will protect you." "How do I know I can believe you?" "It's like I said." "You'll learn to trust me." "Present Day" "I don't want to go back." "I just found you." "The idea of letting you go... we can walk right out of this building." "Find a doctor to rip out the crap they put in our heads and never look back." "I couldn't live with myself." "Neither could you." "Yeah." "Actually, no, I probably could definitely get over it." "Ah, here we go." "Looks like the war started without us." "Dollhouse s02e12" "The Hollow Men" "Phones are dead." "Rossum won't be able to find us that way." "Chopper should be here any second." "We can't wait for them much longer." "We can wait." "How's the neck?" "A little sore." "I think the bleeding stopped." "Wasn't exactly a surgical procedure." "Sorry about that." "I'm not." "Thought of them being able to track me wherever I go..." "I'm just glad it's out." "Sorry." "I'm sorry." "They said the way I feel about you is just a program." "I'm..." "I'm trying to remember that." "It's okay." "I'm..." "I'm glad we're together, no matter what happens." "Look lively." "Someone's coming." "Is that them?" "Or Rossum found us." "Let's be prepared for either eventuality." "It's us." "Where's Echo?" "I need help." "Stop, it's on fire!" "It's burning me!" " What's wrong with her?" "!" " I don't know." "I don't know." "It's burning me." " What happened?" " We got attacked." " They're coming." " You're okay." "You're not burning." " Hold her." " It hurts..." "How did this happen?" " Why is she like this?" " Doesn't make any sense." "I imprinted her as Caroline." "I ate the butt of a rifle." "I wake up, and she's mental." "The wedge must have been too damaged." "No." "Bennett fixed the wedge." "She died fixing it." "Then maybe Echo and Caroline are not getting along." "We need to reevaluate the game plan here." "No." "Nothing's changed." "Boyd, you got shot." "Than shot before." "I've got plenty of meds." "We have to get to Tucson, break into Rossum and destroy that mainframe." "It's impossible now." "Caroline was the only one who could get us in the building." "She's the only one who could identify Rossum's founder." "Without her, we're screwed." "If we don't try, everything Echo's done, everything she's become will be for nothing." "It's up to us to finish this." "How do we even get inside, Boyd?" "We walk in through the front door." "There's no need to sneak around." "We have something Rossum wants." "Come on." "They got the hard drives." "No security footage." "They knew exactly what they were doing, exactly how to cover their tracks." "How do you feel about getting the hell out of here?" "Anthony?" "Look at this." "Must be some kind of program." "No, not a program." "A person." "This chair... it changes you into someone else." "Well, maybe it's somebody who could tell us what happened." "No." "We said we wouldn't do this." "No more technology." " But this could help us." " Or kill us." "We don't know who left that note there." "I don't want to lose you again." "Oh, babe." "Look, you said it yourself." "We have to help our friends." "And this chair right here might be our only shot." "And you know, no matter who I am, no matter what they put in my skull, I always remember you." "That won't change." "But if I turn evil..." "Shoot me." "I'm not going to kill you." "Well, seriously wound me, then." "Just, you know, try to stay away from the junk." "Okay." "Do it." "Oh, God!" "Uh, take it... take it easy!" "Oh." "Did it... did it, uh, not work?" "Where did everyone go?" "Uh, did they change their minds?" "Who are you?" "Oh... no." "That is not good." "That's very... bad." "What am I wearing?" "Tell me who you are!" "Oh." "It's me..." "Topher." "Geez, why are we arming the dolls?" "I'm not a doll." "I'm Priya." "Oh, interesting." "So, you're... you're you." "So, the question is... where am I?" "So, you don't know what happened here?" "Oh, God!" "Am I dead?" "Rossun Headquarters" "You're gonna want to come down here." "Good morning." "Can we help you?" "I very much doubt it." "I'm looking for the man in charge." "And you are...?" "Adelle DeWitt." "We haven't met, but I've heard all about you." "She killed Bennett." "She's not Claire." "He's quick." "Very quick." "What did you do with her?" "I guess I just sort of evicted her." "Tossed her out on the digital street, as it were." "I'm not big on sentimentality." "And you, my dear." "So excited to see you again." "You never know how these types of experiments are going to work out." "I am a lucky boy." "Right here at my doorstep." "All you're missing is the little bow." "Who the hell are you?" "Clyde Randolph." "Cofounder of Rossum." "I thought Clyde was stuck in the attic." "Not anymore." "My original got himself caught in a loop." "This world is for people who can evolve." "And does that include us?" "Isn't that what you're here to find out?" "This is terrible." "I want my body back." "It was a nice body." "I mean," "I cover it up half the time with plaid and cotton-poly blends, but I took pride in my physique." "I had a physique, do you understand?" "I mean, this body's okay and everything," " but, I mean, still..." " we don't know you're dead." "We don't know whose blood that is." "Then where am I, Sierra?" "Priya." "Is that really the most important issue right now?" "Who else would have left the Topher wedge behind?" "I mean, how could you have done that if you were dead?" "You have a point." "You have a point." "Right." "Right, right." "Why would I leave a backup wedge?" "Still thinking." "Well, something only Topher would know." "Yeah, frankly 90% of the things in my head; no one else knows." "It would help to get caught up on the state of things here." "I mean, for example, who are the dead dudes?" "Hit men from the Rossum," "I'm guessing." "We're at war with the Rossum Corporation, by the way." "Oh!" "Fine." "So, uh..." "Who killed them?" "We don't know." "The security footage was taken." "Shut up!" "I had a camera installed." "No one else knew about it." "See?" "I was trying to catch a thief." "I'm pretty sure" "Ivy's been stealing my Turkey jerkies." "Here's the last thing it recorded." "What was that?" "What's wrong with her?" "Back it up." "He threw something away." "What's this?" "Looks like a syringe." "I don't understand." "He drugged Echo." "Why would he drug Echo?" "Not Echo." "Caroline." "She was going to tell us who the founder of Rossum is." "Boyd's working for Rossum." "You know, Adelle," "I have to thank you." "None of this could have happened without you." "It's an exciting time, and you have been a good little worker bee." "I'm happy to be of service, Mr. Randolph." "Though honestly, I'm not sure I'm deserving of such high praise." "What?" "Above anything, Caroline is your success." "You nurtured her, fostered her growth." "Guided her to become what she is now." "And what is that?" "Our savior." "Caroline's going to save the world?" "No, no." "Not the world." "Just the deserving few." "You'll be happy to know, you'll be counted among them." "Unfortunately, in her present state," "Caroline isn't fit to save anyone." "I'm afraid we scrambled her head one time too many." "The mind doesn't matter." "It's the body we want." "He always knew you'd be the one to deliver her to us." "Our mysterious founder." "I'd like to thank him for his faith in me." "I know he's looking forward to that moment." "Do you think they're going to let us out of here?" "You'll be okay." "We'll find a way." "No, no, you don't want to do that." "That's just gonna loop back on you." "Topher." "What?" "Stop breathing on me." "Why did they take Echo?" "I don't know." " Got it." " You did that?" " You did that!" " They must have a weapons cache in this building." "Find it." " I'll take Topher with me." " No." "I need him." "We're going to go after Caroline." "Be careful." "They'll kill us all if they get a chance." "Good luck." "We've been betrayed!" "By my best man friend." "Soft spoken, mild-mannered, Benedict Boyd." "Although, I got to admit, I'm kinda of impressed." "Why can't I find Mellie?" "Chip's deactivated." "I mean, that dude can act." "I don't know whether I want to kill him or get his autograph." "Oh, we have to go!" "We have to help them!" "Uh, hold on, cowgirl." "How do you plan on doing that?" "If you haven't noticed, Rossum sort of has ways of doing, well, this a lot!" "I don't care." "I can't just sit here." "We have to fight." "That is so Ripley of you and it's supersexy, but can I make a suggestion?" "Anthony." "He's a soldier, right?" "I will sacrifice my personhood and give you back your boyfriend..." "And then some." "And then some what?" "Enhancements." "Mad skills." "Ninja, hacking, combat training." "Cooking?" "Doesn't seem that important now, but if you two end up getting married, you'll thank me." "If, if." "I could do you, too." "No." "No more imprints." "Not for Anthony." "Not for me." "Look, I get it." "I get it." "The tech is responsible for all of this." "But in this particular instance, why not give the good guys a fighting chance?" "Looks like they cleared the place out." "I want to tell you something." "Something important." "Echo..." "Caroline." "Whatever happened to her, it wasn't a bad wedge." "Bennett fixed it." "I saw it." "And anyway, if the wedge wasn't fixed, it wouldn't make Echo lose her marbles like that." "This is something else." "What do you think it is?" "I don't have proof, but I'll tell you what it feels like." "It's eerily similar to Sierra when nolan drugged her." "You think someone drugged Echo?" "How?" "It had to be someone in the Dollhouse." "I don't know who." "Yet." "But I'm working on it." "I left a little helpful something-something back at the ranch." "What does that mean?" "My backup wedge." "Topher 2.0." "I left it in the chair." "Hopefully Victor and Sierra came back, fired it up, and are on their way here with reinforcements." "Go team!" "Thank you for confiding in me, Topher." "Of course." "Bros before others who aren't bros." "D- level is clear." "D- level is clear." "I need you to stay here." "That guard has a firearm." "We could use one right now." "I've done my part." "Go do yours." "Hey." "How do you feel?" "I don't know." "I don't feel any different." "Maybe it didn't take." "Well... well, that's different." "Yeah." "I'm suddenly okay with this." "Looks like somebody from Tucson knows we're here." "What do you say we take the fight to them?" "You have to trust me." "They're not just experimenting with animals." "Did I fall a sleep?" "This isn't a nightmare." "What do they need babies for?" "Hang in there, Leo please!" "Don't leave me!" "Caroline!" "This is the shape of things to come." "I'm your girl, Leo." "You'll learn to trust me." "Boyd." "Maybe I should have a gun, too." "No." "What about a taser?" "Look at this... to be a kid in this sandbox." "I can only imagine the toys they have in here." "Seriously?" "You gotta show me how you do that." "Let's check it out." "What about Echo and everything?" "What do you make of this?" "That's my tech." "The one DeWitt handed over to harding." "I thought it would take Rossum years to realize my schematics." "Now that they have?" "We're even more screwed than we thought." "With this, you can wipe and imprint anyone." "No need for an active's cranial architecture in your coconut." "One zap with the laser..." "You're a doll!" "Whoa!" "Boyd, whoa!" "What is wrong with you?" "It doesn't work." "Well, good!" "Maybe they don't have the cojones to finish the job." "They're set up for mass production." "This is catastrophic." "What are you doing?" "Boyd, look around!" "They're going to weaponize the tech." "My tech." "Why?" "For weapons!" "Topher, think." "That's what got us here in the first place." "I'm going for mindless destruction now." "We can use this, Topher." "If the tech stays, in our hands, we control it." "We can stop Rossum, and get out of this building without taking another life." "All you have to do is fix one of them." "Can you do it?" "In my sleep." "Get to it then." "Oh, I don't think so." "I'm afraid." "So am i." "That's why we have guns." "Take it." " You have to learn to protect yourself." " Yeah." "I guess I can't rely on you to protect me all the time." " That's not what I meant." " I know." "But it's true." "Why am I here, Paul?" "I guess..." "I couldn't let you go." "That's very sweet." "I don't believe you." "I'm not real, Paul." " I know this." " Yes, you are." "I'm a program." "So am i." "And I decided, it doesn't matter anymore." "We feel what we feel." "And I didn't want to reach the end without you." "Okay?" "Okay." "What's next?" "We find the mainframe." "Oh, this is simple." "What's that?" "It can transmit an imprint via directional laser to the brain, but it doesn't know how to get the brain to answer." "It's not syncing." "Like when your Bluetooth can't find your cell." "What's the fix?" "The diode is reverse-biased." "Dope the semiconductors at the bipolar junction, voilà ." "A team of engineers couldn't crack that, but you," "Topher Brink, you did it in ten minutes." "You truly are amazing." "I'm glad I chose you." "Chose me for what?" "What are you doing?" "!" "Echo!" "Echo!" "Stop!" "Stop, it's Boyd!" "Echo!" "I have enhanced weapons skills." "Anyone care to see a demonstration?" "The brit goes first." "What the hell is going on?" "Boyd's the founder." "He was going to kill you." "What are you talking about?" "There is no way, not a chance on this earth..." "It's true, Mr. Brink." "Boyd?" "You?" "You really think I was going to kill Topher?" "Why bring him here?" "Not just me?" "Why the party charades?" "You really don't know?" "You're here 'cause you're my family." "I love you guys." "What is that?" "The cooling system." "The mainframe generates a lot of heat." "It takes just as much energy to cool it down." "This means we're getting close." "Come on." "What are you doing?" "What if it doesn't?" " Doesn't what?" " Cool down." "It might be all fun for you to shoot your way into a highly-fortified mainframe, but couldn't we just pull the plug on the ac?" "And overheat the servers." "Thank God you're here." "So, you're working with Saunders." "That means when she killed Bennett, you killed Bennett." "Everyone has had to sacrifice." "That's what's made you all so incredible." "Your commitment, your skills." "Everything I've thrown at you, you've taken, and asked for more." "Look at you, Topher." "Risking your life for the cause, choosing morality over self-preservation." "And you, Adelle." "You found a strength and conviction" "I'll bet you didn't even know you had." "I pushed you, and you pushed right back." "Wow!" "Wow, Boyd." "You're right." "I'm the tinman, she's the lion, and you're the head of the lollipop guild who's a traitor." "You've proven yourselves in so many ways." "I wanted you all with me." "Except for Paul." "There's always one relative you can live without." "And frankly, I never understood what you saw in him." "So you want us to keep you company, fiddling while rome burns?" "Thank you very much." "I'd rather be dead." "Death will be a blessing." "When it happens, you'll likely be imprinted and enslaved." "We have to face the facts." "The technology exists." "It can't be un-invented." "Once it gets out there, it will be abused." "None of us can prevent that from happening, but we can choose where we want to be, and on what side, when the end finally does arrive." "Do you want to be the destroyed, or the destroyers?" "You are spectacularly insane." "I believed you." "You pretended to care for me, and I believed you." "How could you do that?" "I know you're angry." "Don't touch me." "I did..." "I do care for you." "More than you'll ever know." "Who do you think allowed you to grow as an individual... as Echo?" "While they were sending you out to bed half of Los Angeles," "I was here making sure you had the space to become your own person." " Why?" " You're the key." "The key to everything." "You're going to save us all." "I won't save you, Boyd." "Given the first chance, I will kill you." "I have no doubt you'll try." "But the fact still remains that inside that body of yours is everlasting life." "Every time your nervous system blocks an imprint, it leaves neurochemical tracers in your cerebrospinal column." "We've tried to replicate it, but we can't." "It's unique to your physiology." "So we're going to harvest it from you." "What are you talking about?" "We're going to use your spinal fluid to make a vaccine against imprinting." "Is such a thing even possible?" "The mad scientist in me says, "yes."" "You come any closer, I will snap your neck." "I'm sorry, Echo." "I really am." "Tell me they taught you how to sabotage supercomputers at quantico." "Right after the course on toppling evil corporations bent on world domination." "Where do we start?" "How about here?" "I don't think there's an elegant way to do this." "Good." "I hate elegant." "Me, too." "Bring the secondary cooling system online." "I'll handle the rest." "There's a phrase I want you to say." "How does it go?" "Something about flowers in a vase." "Activate Mellie's sleeper protocol?" "I won't do it." "Go ahead and shoot." "I'm sure I'll be far more talkative with my brains splattered all over Topher." "What now?" "We're going to have company." "Come on." "Aim, breathe, fire." "It's set for single shots, so you don't need to crazy, okay?" "You just have to hold on until Echo finish the job." "You got this." "There are three flowers in a vase." "Mellie!" "Cover your ears!" "The third flower is green." "Mellie!" "It's me, Paul!" "I'm not going to shoot you!" "Listen to me." "You're not a killer!" "Mellie, remember us!" "Remember what we had!" "Paul?" "I..." "I can't." "You can." "You can fight this." "You know who you are." "When we were together, you made me feel like a real person." "No!" "There's no reason to be scared." "The entire process is designed to extract your spinal fluid without killing you." "Everything's going to be all right." "Go to hell." "Begin the extraction." "Get her out of that thing, or you're going to end up with a dozen holes" " in your back." " Okay, okay." "Move!" "Thought you two would be on a beach in cancun by now." "Never left a man behind before." "Not going to start today." "Besides, we're a family." "Do... do me a favor." "Call us whatever you want, just not family." "You know about Boyd?" "Yeah." "Didn't see that one coming." "He's holding Adelle and Topher in a research lab, same level, other side of facility." "Free them, then find Paul and Mellie." "Get everybody out of here." "What are you going to do?" "Something Caroline tried to do two years ago." "Shut this place down for good." "I did all this." "I'm the one who brings about the thought-pocalypse." "Thought-pocalypse?" "Is brain-pocalypse better?" "I figure, if I'm responsible for the end of the world, I get to name it." "I gave the plans to harding." "I'm just as culpable." "Thanks, Adelle." "You handed someone a piece of paper." "I invented it." "Which means, I have to destroy it." "Stop." "They'll kill you." " Are you all right?" " Take cover." "Excuse me?" "Now!" "Army of one." "Are you still me?" "Because I could use someone to shoulder some of the guilt." "It's Anthony." "With some enhancements." "Clearly." "What next?" "Mr. Brink?" "We destroy the prototypes, the plans for the prototypes, and every piece of equipment used to make the prototypes." "We wipe this tech off the face of the earth." "Who let the lab rat out of its cage?" "Claire..." "Whiskey, whoever can hear me..." "This isn't you." "Deep down, you know it's true." "You can overpower him." "Claire." "Still Clyde." "You know, this is the first time I can hit a girl without feeling bad about it." "You think Topher loaded me up with nice personalities?" "I will scrub the floor with you." "15 years of switching bodies." "I've made some improvements to the os." "Besides, I don't care what happens to this body." "You do." "What do you mean, she escaped?" "No." "I'll deal with it." "Mellie." "She killed Mellie." "What?" "Adelle." "She triggered Mellie, and..." "She killed herself." "I'm sorry, Paul." "She's evil, Boyd." "We have to stop her." "I know." "Whoever's running things got to her." "She turned on all of us." "Let's take that bitch down for good." "I know just where she is." "At this rate, we're going to kill each other." "I have 20 houses filled with bodies waiting for me." "Even if you're on life support, we can still tap your spine." "Echo?" "Paul, what are you doing?" "Take it easy." "It's..." "What did I miss?" "It's him." "He's the founder." "He's been lying to us this whole time." "Question is, who are you?" "Caroline?" "Echo?" "I'm everything" " you made me." " Good." "Then that means you still trust me with your life." "You said you'd protect me." "I believed you." "You son of a bitch!" "I did protect you." "Now it's your turn to protect all of us." "You're going to be the savior of the world." "I trusted you." "Shoot." "Don't think." " Shoot." " She can't." "Caroline doesn't know you, but Echo loves you." "She'd never..." "I wanted to keep you around because I like you, but I don't really need you alive." "I loved you." "I know." "Did I fall asleep?" "For a little while." "I want you to take this." "After I leave, walk into there... and pull the pin out." "Do you understand?" "Yes." "I try to be my best." "Good." "Everybody out!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "I got Saunders out." "Move!" "Move!" "Move!" "Where's Echo?" "She said she's coming." "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Let's go, people!" "So, did we save the world?" "I guess we did." "Ten Years Later" "Let them go." "We got to keep moving."
