"JANE:" "Previously on Warehouse 13..." "You are allowed to reveal the true nature of our work to one person." "I was insubordinate." "I drew my gun on Mrs. Frederic, and she fired me." "MRS. FREDERIC:" "We answer to a higher authority." "ARTIE:" "These are the Regents?" "(SCREAMING) Philip!" "You are the Guardian now." "Hey, I want you to meet my partner." "Mom." "PETE:" "You can't be a Regent, okay?" "You're my mom." "My mom can't be a Regent." "How can my mom be a Regent and not have told me?" "I'm sorry, Pete, just calm down and let me explain." "Okay, fine." "Explain." "Explain why you didn't tell me." "I wanted to tell you, Pete, but I..." "But you didn't, so I went on living my life on some kind of need-to-know basis." "No, it wasn't like that." "It was a lot more complicated." "Peter, please sit down." "I can't concentrate..." "Fine." "I'm sorry, darling." "I will explain it all." "Just let me start at the beginning." "MRS. FREDERIC:" "Some other time, Jane." "A time when the Warehouse isn't under attack, and someone isn't trying to kill you." "Arthur's researching the company that funded your mercenary." "A to Z Technologies." "We are not equipped for military action, yet it would seem we are at war." "A to Z Technologies." "There's something about that name." "I have a very bad feeling about it." "You what?" "You what?" "You have a feeling, you mean, like my kind of feeling?" "You get vibes, too?" "Oh, jeez, Louise, do I know anything about you at all?" "Peter, please." "Okay, just..." "(CLEARS THROAT) Just tell me this." "If the Regents hadn't been attacked, would you or you" "have ever told me?" "Yeah." "That's what I thought." "He needs time, Irene." "We don't have any time, Jane." "Jason, I'm just running to the store." "Oh, don't forget to stop at the drycleaners." "Okay." "I'll be back in an hour." "MAN:" "What was that?" "(INDISTINCT)" "(ENGINE SPUTTERING) Jason, the car won't start." "Jason?" "Jason?" "CLAUDIA:" "No, I'm not going to leave it alone because you still haven't answered my question, Artie." "Why did you fire Steve?" "Look, someone is picking off the Regents one by one." "We just can't sit here and do nothing." "I didn't, I didn't fire Steve, Mrs. Frederic did." "And we are not doing nothing." "Leena and I are fortifying the Warehouse, and Regent Security is investigating." "There's obviously more to this than you're telling me." "Regent Security?" "(BOTH ARGUING)" "Enough!" "Let this go, both of you." "We have a ping." "A man in Portland, he vanished from his driveway yesterday, in a brilliant flash of light." "And I am sending the two of you." "We can't work a case right now." "A ping?" "(BOTH ARGUING)" "Silence!" "This is not snag, bag and nag!" "When I say go, you go!" "Now!" "March!" "Not you." "(WHIMPERS)" "Stay." "Go back to your bed." "Yes." "See?" "Why can't they all be like you?" "Hey." "You, uh, want to talk?" "I know how hard it must be for you to find out about your mom like that." "I... (EXHALES)" "I can't imagine it if was me." "Well..." "You might feel like an idiot, and you might feel like you never really knew your own mother." "She's your mom, Pete." "Of course, you know her." "I mean, I even know her a little bit." "We did survive a crumbling building together. (CHUCKLES)" "And I think that she's a brave, strong, amazing woman who loves you very much." "Then why wouldn't she tell me?" "I mean, I'm a Warehouse agent." "It's not like I'm not in on the secret." "I don't know, but she had to have her reasons, right?" "Maybe she was trying to protect you." "Oh, right." "Or maybe my whole life's been one big lie." "I'm some pawn to the Regents and Mrs. Frederic." "Ever since I found out that" "Sam was killed because of an artifact," "I've started to wonder if we all are." "But I've also started to wonder if it matters." "It matters." "Are you happy?" "That's not the point, Myka." "Because I think you are." "And what difference does it make if it's a part of a master plan, or if it's just dumb luck?" "It makes a difference to me." "JANE:" "I've lied to him." "Violated his trust." "What kind of mother does that?" "A good one." "It's not easy for us, doing what we do." "We keep so many secrets, even from our own children." "It's different for you, Irene." "Your son isn't an agent." "You knew I didn't want this for Pete." "I was always afraid something like this would happen." "You went against my wishes." "Jane, he belongs here." "You know he does." "You raised him for this without even realizing it." "He'll come around." "But right now, I need for you to concentrate on A to Z Technologies." "I am trying." "If I could just somehow dig out that memory." "Of course." "Why didn't I think of that?" "Come with me." "Okay, so according to Mrs. Kinser, her husband was standing right there when he disappeared in a big flash of light." "Anything else?" "Clap of thunder?" "Poof of smoke?" "No." "No smoke, but she did say that after the flash, her car battery died, the porch lights blew, and the power around the entire block went out for a few seconds." "Okay, so what?" "Something magnetic?" "Maybe." "That draws its energy from the power sources around it." "Okay." "I'll call Artie and see if anything pops." "Could you do it from the car?" "I want to check out that T-shirt shop that Kinser ran downtown." "Yeah." "Okay." "VIOLA:" "Alien abduction." "It all fits." "The flash of light was the aliens transporting Mr. Kinser to their ship, and the power outage was caused by the surge from their engine boosters." "Well, that's a theory." "MYKA:" "Um, Viola, right?" "Are you the manager?" "I'm the manager." "Come on in." "Oh, God, Jeff." "None of this, none of that." "More glitter on that." "Wow." "Looks like glitter's making a comeback." "So Stan says." "Thanks to him, I have found it everywhere." "(CHUCKLES)" "You know, I even found some in my va-jay-jay." "STAN:" "Viola!" "Kinser laid off half the staff, but I'm the reason these guys are so efficient." "Kinser fired a lot of good artists, and he wasn't particularly nice about it." "Jeff McMasters, director of design." "So, Kinser was tough to work for, huh?" "Ugh, he was very businessy." "That's probably why the aliens wanted him." "JEFF:" "Jason Kinser only cared about the bottom line." "He had no respect for the art or the artist." "Was there anyone who was particularly upset about the layoffs?" "Anyone probably more upset than the others?" "They were all pretty postal." "Okay, well, we're going to need a list of names." "We have to talk to the rest of the employees." "Do you think that some of the people Kinser fired were body snatched?" "Maybe." "Hey, it's Brandon." "Buzz me in." "Look, let me in, will you?" "Look, I'm not mad, all right?" "I think I deserve an explanation, though." "I want to talk face-to-face, all right?" "What the hell?" "Look, I know you're up there." "I can see you." "I'm not leaving until you come down and talk to me." "Come on!" "Come on!" "ARTIE:" "We have another disappearance." "There was a second random power outage earlier today." "I cross referenced with missing-person reports." "A computer programmer called the cops and said his roommate went missing around the same time." "And so far, there's no connection between him and our first victim, Jason Kinser." "Probably because the connection's on the alien ship." "What?" "Nothing." "Don't worry, we're on it." "There has to be other ways." "Less risky ways." "Travel back in your memories and watch them?" "Oh, yes, hundreds." "You're joking, right?" "I'm very dry." "I understand your concern, Agent Nielsen, and I appreciate it, but someone out there is targeting Regents, and so far, we have nothing." "We have A to Z Technologies." "That information is buried deeply in Jane's memory, unless you've unearthed some answers" "A to Z Tech is a shell company within a shell company, within another shell company, but I've managed to trace it to the Cayman Islands, where I have a contact who could, if he's still alive..." "He could possibly..." "Okay, fine." "But you understand the dangers?" "You could get lost in your own memories, and you could wind up trapped there forever." "A chance I'm willing to take." "But you won't have to take it alone." "The artifact's dangers can be diminished if there's another person present." "Someone to ground you, to pull you back if need be." "Which is why I'm going with you." "No." "I want to go." "Into my memories?" "Well, it's my life, too." "At least, I thought it was." "(SIGHS) You each touch one of the shoes." "Jane, concentrate on what you want to see." "Focus on your question." "A to Z Technologies." "MRS. FREDERIC:" "Precisely." "The shoe will walk your subconscious to the specific memory you're seeking." "Keep in mind that you'll be observers only." "You won't be able to interact with anyone." "You won't be able to change the past." "What's so dangerous, then?" "Going back through old memories, sometimes the urge to stay is overwhelming." "And that would result in a permanent split." "That's why you have to be there to pull her back." "(SIGHS) We don't want our energies to interfere, but we'll be close by." "(SHATTERING)" "Mom..." "It's the house." "We're really at the house." "Hey, it's my BMX bike!" "Wrecked it when I was 13." "Doug Beam and I made that ramp." "Oh, my God, Doug Beam." "I wonder what he's doing now." "I can't believe it." "It's exactly the same." "This doesn't have anything to do with A to Z Technologies." "I shouldn't have let you come." "This isn't where I'm supposed to be." "Yeah, well, maybe it's where I'm supposed to be." "I'm going to go see Dad." "Oh, no, it's not this day." "(GASPS)" "Pete, wait!" "(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)" "I'm so sorry, Pete." "TOM:" "I know something's wrong because we were supposed to meet at the David Lynch Festival, and Brandon never misses David Lynch." "Do you know where he was before you were supposed to meet him?" "Yeah." "He was picking this girl up that he's been dating." "It's pretty serious." "It was the third date." "He was going to turn her onto Eraserhead." "Anyway, I tried calling her." "She didn't pick up, either." "Do you know this girl?" "No, but I've heard about her." "A lot about her." "And by a lot, you mean?" "She's got golden hair that smells like grapefruits, these sexy, spooky Lolita eyes, this rocking bod that makes you just want to..." "A lot." "Got it." "You get a name with that vivid description?" "Megan." "Megan Reese." "I know that name." "That name, I think is on the list of former employees." "Megan Reese used to work for Jason Kinser." "Dots now have been connected." "CLAUDIA:" "So, I guess the landlady didn't see anything, but she definitely heard Brandon out here, caterwauling the other day." "Caterwauling?" "Yeah." "Her word." "Not mine." "I like the way it rolls off the tongue, though." "(CHUCKLES)" "The neighbors reported that there was a power outage right about the same time that Brandon would have disappeared." "And that's Megan's apartment, right?" "Ugh!" "What do you want to bet we find her dead mother in a rocking chair up there?" "Oh, I think I like the alien idea better." "Claudia." "What is it?" "I don't know, but it looks..." "Familiar." "Mrs. Kinser reported that there was a flash of light, her porch lights blew, and her car battery died, right?" "It could have been caused by something like an electromagnetic pulse." "I've seen this before in photos of the aftermath of Hiroshima." "There were impressions, almost shadows, of the victims that were left after the bombs fell." "But Jason Kinser was in his yard, so there was no place to see a shadow." "Right." "Are we saying that whatever happened to Brandon might..." "Might be something nuclear." "LANDLADY:" "Oh, Megan Reese." "Late with her rent." "Won't come out, won't let me in." "I can't even get the handyman in there to fix the pipes." "Can't say I'm sorry you're here." "This looks like a good a time as any to tell her to pack up her things and skedaddle." "Ma'am, now might not be the best time." "Come on, Rapunzel, open up!" "You're in a truckload of trouble." "MEGAN:" "Go away, leave me alone." "See?" "See that?" "You're this close to eviction, missy." "MEGAN:" "Get away from here." "Get away from the door." "Hey, it's my door." "Ma'am, leave." "Now." "Megan, Secret Service." "Open up." "MEGAN:" "Go away, please." "Just go away." "I can't do that, Megan." "Open the door." "MEGAN:" "No!" "Go away before it's too late." "If you don't, I'll have to kill you, too, just like the others." "I warned you, and now, you're going to die." "Watch out!" "(GASPS)" "(GASPS)" "MYKA:" "Okay, Megan." "All right, it's okay." "We're gonna put these away." "All right?" "Myka, what are you doing?" "We're still here." "No one died." "Yet." "Megan, just give us the artifact." "What are you talking about?" "The object you're using to kill people, whatever it is." "There's no object." "It's me." "Every time I get upset, people explode." "I'm cursed, I'm a monster." "You're not a monster." "Just go away, please." "Don't you understand?" "I am going to kill you." "Please!" "Myka!" "Okay, okay, look." "Just calm down, all right?" "We're stepping away." "It's okay." "(GASPS)" "Myka, what the frak?" "She doesn't want to hurt us, Claudia." "She doesn't even know what the artifact is." "Artifact is unconscious?" "She's not in control of it." "Well, yeah, but you heard her." "People get whammied whenever she gets upset." "And if you hadn't noticed, our being here is making her very upset." "Right, so we'll just figure out whatever the artifact is." "Without getting flash fried?" "Oh, fun." "Claudia, look, the girl is in trouble." "Fine, but if her hair starts blowing around like Firestarter, we're out of here." "You still need to eat." "Oh, God." "My Jeannie." "Can I get you something?" "(INAUDIBLE)" "She can't see us, can she?" "I won't go through this again." "PETE:" "Mom." "Mom, look at you." "PETE:" "It'll get better, Pete." "It will." "Lattimer." "Even Ralph Brunsky was nice to me that day." "Mrs. Frederic." "Hey, what are you doing here?" "I thought this was only a two passenger..." "Mrs. Frederic was here?" "She knew me my whole life?" "MRS. FREDERIC:" "Jane, I'm so sorry." "We all are." "What?" "Tell me." "It wasn't a fire?" "An artifact killed him?" "No, there was no artifact." "He was a firefighter." "A very brave one." "Then why are you here?" "To extend our condolences." "And to ask you to come back." "The Warehouse needs you." "There's a situation right here in town that..." "No." "No." "Thank you for coming, Irene." "God, I wish I could laugh like that again." "Listen, whatever this is, the freakness, it can mess you up, but believe me, there is a way back, and we're going to find it." "What makes you so sure?" "Because I've been there." "I doubt it." "You'd be surprised." "There's nothing." "Megan, when did this start?" "(EXHALES) A couple months ago, back in Indiana." "I got mugged." "This guy grabbed me." "I got away." "(GRUNTS)" "And then, all the lights just blew out." "He was gone." "Then it happened to my boyfriend." "We got in this big fight." "He shoved me." "And I got mad, and then..." "I came here so I could get away from it." "But you couldn't." "I did." "I did." "It was okay." "(SOBBING) I got a new job at the T-shirt shop, and I met Brandon." "But then, this woman rear-ended me." "And she was yelling..." "And then..." "My boss fired me for being late." "And then, Brandon got mad at me." "Come on!" "What am I..." "What am I going to do?" "Megan, Megan, keep it together." "Don't meltdown." "The yearbook." "It's the yearbook." "Megan." "Bag it!" "Don't suppose you've seen any aliens, have you?" "(MYKA EXHALES)" "There is no such thing as just a Regent." "Your instincts have provided an invaluable perspective." "Stop." "I left all that behind when I had children of my own." "It's going to change now?" "(STUTTERS) So, did Dad know?" "Of course." "He was my one." "Of all the days to come here." "I wouldn't have, but we're facing a difficult decision." "The kind you've always been helpful with." "Warehouses have gotten along just fine without me for a millennia." "No, it's with people like you." "Jane, we need your particular expertise." "There's a child." "At least, consider it." "I'll be in touch." "PETE:" "Wow." "So, not just a Regent, but a Super Regent." "Man, if I'd have known, I'd have gotten you a mug that said," ""World's Greatest Secret Overlord."" "(GLASS SHATTERING)" "YOUNG PETE:" "Mom!" "You'd just break it like all the others." "Maybe..." "Maybe the artifact isn't here." "It's me." "People are dying around me." "I'm the problem." "Wait a minute." "No, no, no, no." "You were nowhere near your boss when he died." "Right, when your boss disappeared, you were here." "Could she have contacted an artifact elsewhere, and still be affected by it?" "The T-shirt shop." "That's the only thing that makes sense." "We need to go there, and you have to come with us." "Oh." "No, I'm not leaving here." "Oh, no, you could be a big help." "You know, maybe something about being there could spark some..." "Oh, wow." "Bad choice of words." "Anyway..." "Stop right there." "Where do you think you're going?" "Not good." "MYKA:" "Ma'am, go back inside." "Keep her away from me." "Go back inside." "Me away from you?" "You're two weeks late on your..." "Ma'am, go back inside for your own protection." "Don't talk to me that way." "Keep her away from me." "I know my rights." "Don't make me angry!" "I'm throwing you out!" "Ah!" "I killed her!" "No, Megan." "I killed her!" "No, no, no, no, Megan!" "Claudia, wait!" "In this state, she could kill us both." "What?" "The angle of the shadow." "I mean, the flash must've come from that direction to cast a shadow on the sign this way, but Megan was standing over there." "So, artifact thataway." "You try and find Megan, talk her down." "I'm going to check this out." "Yeah, you got it." "PETE:" "Oh, my God." "I remember this." "Oh, you couldn't possibly know." "Wait, wait, wait, wait." "Wait for it." "Yo, Mom, watch this." "(SNIFFING)" "(LAUGHS)" "(LAUGHING)" "Now, that was my best move, and I got nothing out of you, nothing." "You did it a lot." "Changing grape juice to milk doesn't make it new." "I was trying to cheer you up." "(PHONE RINGING)" "Hello?" "MRS. FREDERIC:" "Jane, have you had time to consider our invitation?" "The matter I mentioned needs to be resolved rather quickly." "Who's that?" "No one, sweetheart." "Eat your lunch." "Tell me more." "You were taking secret Regent calls in front of me?" "YOUNG JANE:" "All right, I'm on my way." "You're going to have to finish lunch without me, Petey." "I'll be back in time to make dinner." "Why?" "Where you going?" "It's a gorgeous day." "Call Ralph Brunsky." "WALTER'S MOM:" "Walter, lunch in 10 minutes." "WALTER:" "Okay." "Some swing." "Thanks." "Must be the star of your team." "I guess so." "Coach says I could even go pro someday." "But Coach says stuff like that a lot." "Sound like a practical man." "What else you interested in?" "Got any hobbies?" "Do I know you?" "Do you live around here?" "Just taking a walk." "Here you go." "(EXHALES)" "Well, that looked important." "Pete, you know better than anyone the delicate nature of dealing with artifacts." "(SCOFFS) There's always a downside." "That boy had an ability he shouldn't have." "Taking it away was a heart-wrenching decision." "What's the big deal?" "The kid wouldn't go pro." "Was it really worth lying to us?" "You know the truth now." "What does it matter now?" "I was 12 years old, and all I knew then was that you were keeping secrets, and I felt left out." "We all have things we have to do." "And I had to do this." "You know I couldn't tell you." "No, I don't know." "After Dad died, I..." "Why couldn't I have been your one?" "So, I asked myself where would I run to in the middle of the city if I wanted to get as far away as possible from anyone I could hurt." "I keep telling you we're a lot alike." "You vaporize people with your mind a lot, do you?" "I definitely have the "Make people disappear" curse." "I recently lost a really good friend." "Uh..." "He didn't, like, die or anything, but he's just gone." "Not exactly the same." "I have a boyfriend in the Witness Protection Program." "Impressive, but still..." "My brother disappeared into an inter-dimensional bubble." "What?" "Took me 12 years to get him back." "Fine, you're cursed, too." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Maybe we should start a support group." "Called the "Arm's Length Club."" "I don't think so." "The "Ten Foot Pole Society."" "Nice." "Better." "Sorry, I'm..." "It's been a while since I could just talk to someone." "Claud, did you find Megan?" "Safe and sound." "We're bonding over our ability to repel people." "Well, I don't think Megan's causing this." "Somehow, this thing can shoot radiation from a distance." "Listen, I'm on the roof, and I found glitter up here." "So, it's probably somebody from the T-shirt shop." "But it happened here in Portland, and back in Indiana." "Well, then they had to follow you." "The yearbook." "MYKA:" "Ha!" "Hey, Claud, look." "Jeff McMasters." "Okay, we interviewed him at the shop." "Megan, he went to school with you." "I hardly knew that kid." "MYKA:" "Look, Megan he's in a lot of your pictures." "And he's staring at you." "Looks like you have a stalker." "Megan, if this guy is willing to kill for you, then, your life is in danger, too." "The way that the stalker mentality works, you probably had some kind of exchange with him in high school." "Something that meant nothing to you, but that meant the world to him." "Ever since, he's been fixated on you." "And now he has an artifact, and he's using it to kill whoever he thinks is a threat to you." "He probably thinks he's doing it to protect you." "Protect me?" "He's killing people and wrecking my life." "And we're going to make him stop." "But first, we need to find whatever it is that he's using, and to do that, well, we're going to need your help." "PETE:" "It's Artie and MacPherson before he went all Dark Lord, I guess." "We've changed that boy's life forever." "No, we returned it to its natural course." "I only hope we did it in time." "The downside of that artifact would have been far worse than its upside." "Okay, so if being a Regent is that hard, how did Mrs. Frederic convince you to go back?" "She didn't." "(GRUNTING) JANE:" "Your father did." "You ever see a dead body?" "Now why do you want to go and ask that?" "You did." "Is it cool?" "It really isn't." "Any of the guys you ever worked with died?" "Well, um, yeah." "It happens." "I don't think I want you to be a firefighter anymore." "Pete, you're a big man, and I never want to lie to you." "It's a dangerous job, and sometimes, bad things happen." "Sometimes things happen that I'm not going to want to talk about." "Because they're gross." "And it isn't the fun kind of gross like you think." "But what I'm doing out there, I'm doing it for you." "I'm doing it for your sister, your mom." "Because if me and guys like me don't do this job, the whole town could burn down." "Guys like me make a choice, Pete." "To be the ones to keep the world safe." "Even if that means it takes us away from the ones we love." "But it's because of that love that we do it." "I want to be that kind of guy, too." "(CHUCKLES) You are that kind of guy." "All right, one more." "We should go now." "(GRUNTING)" "No, no." "I want to stay a while." "Peter, it's time to go." "(SHATTERING)" "Mom..." "Pete, it's all right." "No, look, Mom, when I found out about this," "I guess I thought being a Regent was more important to you than I was." "I was a Regent because nothing is more important to me than you are." "You and your sister." "And I had nothing to do with you becoming an agent, either." "You did that." "I was against it." "Wait." "What, why?" "Nothing, never mind." "Mom, I want to know." "You were always taking unnecessary risks." "Oh, my God." "This is like when I asked if I could out for football..." "And I wasn't going to facilitate your impulsive... (BOTH ARGUING)" "Hi, Jeff." "It's Megan." "I know." "Believe me, I know." "I was starting to wonder if you remembered my name." "What?" "Yes, I do." "Well, it's just you haven't said anything since that time you got Murphy and his morons to leave me alone." "On that field trip." "Field trip." "Right." "So, that's why you've been protecting me." "I thought after you had a reason to stay away." "So I followed your lead." "I hope I did the right thing." "Sure." "You did just right." "It's so cool to finally be talking like this." "To talk to you at all." "How are you doing it, Jeff?" "I mean, how are you making people just go away?" "Come here." "When I found these, I knew it was a sign." "Why are you talking to me now?" "What are you looking at?" "Jeff, listen to me." "Just put down the bag." "We're not going to hurt you." "JEFF:" "You lied to me!" "No, I didn't." "No, I didn't lie." "You don't remember anything." "I remember." "After all I've done for you, you bring them here?" "(SHRIEKING)" "No, Megan!" "Megan!" "Come on." "After all this time." "All those secret glances you gave me." "What, you decided you're done with me now?" "Stop it!" "The artifact's in his bag." "So keep your eyes out for it." "Legitimate question." "If he's toting a radiation shooting artifact do we risk our Teslas?" "Jeff?" "Listen, nobody else needs to get hurt." "We can find a way out of this." "Myka!" "Stay away!" "This is between me and her!" "CLAUDIA:" "Myka, look out!" "(GRUNTS)" "(GRUNTS)" "Hey." "(GASPS)" "He's coming." "You're going to pay for having lied to me, Megan!" "And your friends are going to pay, too!" "All the doors are locked!" "You can't get out!" "(GRUNTING)" "I told you to stay away." "You want me, Jeff?" "I'm right here." "I loved you, Megan." "(SCREAMS)" "(MYKA GRUNTING)" "You okay?" "Yeah." "Hey, you did good." "(EXHALES)" "The binoculars belonged to the pilot of the plane that dropped the bomb on Hiroshima." "He saw the blast through them, and they absorbed the horror of that moment." "So when Jeff found them and looked through them, all his emotions, his rage, just set them off." "So you were never actually cursed." "I'm guessing you weren't really cursed, either." "Now, see, that's just crazy talk, because I'm so totally cursed." "Right?" "(LAUGHING)" "Look, thanks." "For everything." "I hope you hear back from your best friend." "Bye." "Bye, Megan." "I'm going to make a call." "Claud?" "Yeah?" "Say hi for me." "Mmm-hmm." "(SIGHS)" "PETE:" "Well, it's like when you wouldn't let me grate the celery for the Thanksgiving stuffing." "And we were nibbling on fingers as a result." "Bad example." "Uh, did you find anything?" "I did, but I may have messed up what Mom was looking for." "Don't be so sure." "Artie, where is Collodi's Bracelet shelved?" "Collodi's Bracelet?" "Collodi..." "(STUTTERS)" "James and I bagged that, what, 30 years ago?" "I know." "You were so cute." "Carlo Collodi wrote the original story of Pinocchio." "For the most part he was an angry, bitter satirist." "In the original, when the little cricket tries to tell Pinocchio what to do, he flattens him with a hammer." "Here." "It was made out of the strings of a marionette that belonged to Collodi." "It fell into the hands of a young boy." "Named Walt Sykes." "MRS. FREDERIC:" "The bracelet gave him control of his own body, enabling him to walk." "But it would have planted a seed of darkness in his soul." "JANE:" "Aztec." "A to Z Technologies." "That's what I was remembering." "That young boy is now the man who is attacking us." "Walter Sykes." "The Guardian that now wears the shackle is under watch 24l7." "I don't see any way to get to her." "No need to." "Jane Lattimer and I are going to be getting together very soon."
