| Pilot In the year 2009, a group of genetically engineered children escape from a military installment in the Wyoming Mountains. Despite best efforts of COLONEL LYDECKER and his men, MAX and a few others make it past the perimeter guards and to freedom. Ten years later, the U.S. finds itself mired in a depression brought about by The Pulse, an electromagnetic shockwave that wreaked havoc on the world economy by obliterating every computer system in operation. Max now works as a seemingly ordinary bike messenger in Seattle. Unbeknownst to her friends, however, Max has an extraordinary hobby: she's a cat burglar who steals from Seattle's richest citizens to finance her ongoing investigation into her past. Unfortunately, so far Private Investigator DAN VOGELSANG hasn't been able to come up with anything useful that'll bring Max closer to finding ZACK, JONDY or any of the other Chimera that escaped with her in '09. It is during a seemingly routine burglary in a posh high-rise that Max stumbles across LOGAN CALE, aka "EYES ONLY," an underground cyberjournalist who is the only voice of truth left in the corrupt city of Seattle. Logan is using his fortified apartment to keep a source (LAUREN) and her daughter (SOPHY) out of harm's way. Lauren is a former employee of evil entrepreneur EDGAR SONRISA, and she has testimony that can put Sonrisa away for life. Obviously, Sonrisa would like nothing more than to silence Eyes Only and kill Lauren. Max bails on Logan's apartment at the first opportunity, but Logan tracks her down; he needs to make sure that she doesn't present a security risk to "Eyes Only." Although Max has no intention of compromising Logan's operation, she also has no interest in joining the "Eyes Only" crusade to save the world. Logan tries to change her mind by offering information -- he knows about Manticore, the military base where she and the others like her were trained. He knows about the escape, about her genetic make-up. He can help her, but he needs her help first: she could be invaluable in keeping Lauren and Sophy safe until Lauren can testify against Sonrisa. But Max has no interest -- she's too busy looking out for herself to risk her neck for people she doesn't even know. Max goes about her business, trying to ignore her conscience... until matters hit too close to home to ignore anymore. Sonrisa's men kidnap Sophy and shoot Logan, whose sacrifice allows Lauren to escape. To make matters worse, Sonrisa's nefarious business dealings cost Max's neighbor his life. After sneaking into Logan's hospital room to make sure he's okay, Max springs into action. She infiltrates Sonrisa's mansion during a party and convinces him that she can deliver Lauren to him. Instead, she turns the tables on Sonrisa and his thug BRUNO, who gun each other down. But the hard part is still to come. In order to rescue Sophy from Sonrisa's remaining goons, she has to sneak past the goons as well as Lydecker's men, who have gotten wind of her whereabouts by tapping Vogelsang's phones. Outsmarting the gun-toting villains, Max pits Lydecker's men against Sonrisa's, sneaks Sophy out the front door and returns her safe and sound to Lauren. A few months later, Logan has recovered sufficiently to return to his "Eyes Only" duties. He's paralyzed from the waist down, but he'll live. He thanks Max for her involvement in the Sonrisa case, and reiterates his desire that she join the "Eyes Only" team. Again, Max declines, and again Logan baits her with information -- this time, on Zack, the one Manticore escapee Max is most curious about. Logan and Max make a tentative agreement. Quid pro quo. She'll help him save the world if he'll help her put together the puzzle of her past, one piece at a time... Heat For the past few days Max has been suffering from a peculiar side effect of her hopped up DNA. Seems the scientists at Manticore added a dash of feline genetic material to her personal cocktail, and while it makes her musculature that much more efficient, it also puts her in heat two or three times a year. Max has been preoccupied the last 48 hours, desperately trying not to give in to her raging hormones. Max takes care of some bad guys for Logan, in exchange for his promise to further develop the information he has on Zack. However, once that's taken care of, she heads to Crash and takes home a young man named ERIC, with the intention of finally giving in to her baser impulses. Max is more than a little relieved when Eric passes out in a drunken stupor before anything can happen, thus saving her from herself. The next day, Logan pages Max and gives her the information she's been waiting for -- he's located HANNAH, the woman who picked Max up on the road the night she escaped from Manticore. Hannah lives just outside the city on Sedro Island. Logan warns Max that this could be a trap, and that Lydecker could be waiting for her, but she ignores him. If Hannah's in trouble, then Max is the one who put her there, and it's up to Max to get her back out. Max is getting the bike ready for a road trip when Eric shows up unexpectedly. She's all set to give him the brush off, when he tells her that his uncle is a big guy in the sector police. Since this trip to Hannah's will involve passing through checkpoints, Max decides to take Eric along with her. Unfortunately, at the checkpoint Eric confesses that his uncle is not nearly as important as he had implied (he's a janitor), and Max has to crash her way through. She leaves the hapless Eric on the dock to watch her stuff while she swims to Sedro Island. Max finds Hannah's house, and Hannah welcomes her in. She calls work to tell them that she'll be late, and she and Max talk briefly. Meanwhile, Logan pages Max and is surprised when Eric returns the call. Eric tells Logan that Max is on Sedro Island. Max tells Hannah that she knows the phone call she made before was really to let Lydecker know that Max was there, and that he must be on his way. Hannah cries and asks for Max's forgiveness. Lydecker had threatened to kill her if she didn't cooperate. Max assures Hannah that he'll kill her even though she did cooperate, which is why they have to get out of the house right away. Max and Hannah run for their lives while Logan hacks into Lydecker's radio transmissions. The island is now surrounded and crawling with soldiers. Max and Hannah come to a dam. There seems to be no way across, except by bridge, but the soldiers are converging on it from both directions. Max and Hannah hide, sure that they will be spotted at any second. Suddenly, a call comes through the soldier's radios that another team has already captured the prisoners. The soldiers on the bridge disperse. Max spots an old power cable. She grabs Hannah and they ride the cable across the dam to temporary safety. Meanwhile, Lydecker is waiting for his prisoners to be delivered, but when his men arrive they tell him that someone's been jamming their transmissions. We find that it was Logan, giving Lydecker's men false information to steer them away from Max and Hannah. The women get to the shore and find a boat, but Max can't get it started. All seems lost, until a speedboat coasts up to them, with Eric at the helm. The three take off, just seconds ahead of the bad guys. Later, Eric says goodbye to Max ("We are two very different people"), and Max reluctantly says goodbye to Hannah. But before they part, Hannah gives Max some information about her birth mother... Flushed Max is having a particularly bad time with her seizures. Needing extra Tryptophan to calm them, and not having any money to pay her supplier, Max "borrows" the cash that Kendra had collected from the other squatters in the building to pay off Walter Eastep, the cop. Max steals a gangster's ride and tries to sell it to replace the cash, but the fence can't pay her till the next morning. Max leaves empty-handed. When Max gets home, Kendra and Original Cindy are waiting for her. She's been acting odd lately -- sick, forgetful, short-tempered -- so they searched her things and found the pills. Assuming that the Tryptophan is a drug of some kind, they've tossed them down the drain and now want Max to get some help. Max freaks. Goes to her regular supplier for more, but she's out. Desperate, Max tries to steal more pills from the local hospital, but in her weakened condition she can't fight off the security guards when they discover her riffling the pharmacy. Max is arrested. Eastep arrives the next morning for his payoff, and when Kendra still doesn't have the cash, he has everyone thrown out in the street. Meanwhile, Max is getting booked. She meets BREAK, a militant clothing storeowner. Break has been through the system before, and he takes pity on the sickly Max, whose seizures are getting worse without the Tryptophan. Logan arrives at Jam Pony, looking for Max. Original Cindy gives him a piece of her mind, and accuses him of getting her girl hooked up on drugs. Logan figures out what's happened, and tells Original Cindy that without the Tryptophan Max will die. Original Cindy is devastated that she's unwittingly put her friend in mortal danger. With Break's help, Max attempts an escape, but she's captured before she can get over the fence. The WARDEN arrives. Instructs the guards to bring her up to his house. Logan's contact on the police force, DETECTIVE MATT SUNG gets Logan some more Tryptophan, and "arrests" Original Cindy so she can get into the prison and bring it to Max. Once there, Original Cindy meets Break, who tells her that Max has been taken up to the Warden's house. He uses his connections with a guard to get Original Cindy assigned to work detail at the house. Meanwhile, Vogelsang gets a call from a friend of his at the prison, telling him that a girl with a barcode on her neck has been brought in. He tips off Lydecker, who promptly mobilizes the troops and heads out. Max wakes up at the Warden's house and meets MARIA, the maid. She's sweet, very young, and seems happy that Max will be staying with them. Max, in her delirium, dreams that Maria is really LUCY, her former foster sister who was abused by their foster dad when Max was a child. Max still feels guilty that when she escaped the foster home she didn't take Lucy with her. It's clear that the Warden has been sexually abusing Maria, but Max is too weak to stop him. The Warden has plans for Max too, just as soon as she's feeling a little better. Original Cindy infiltrates the house, and Maria tells her where Max is being kept. Lydecker has arrived at the prison and is searching the population, but the Warden is smart enough to know he'll be searching the house next. He goes to get Max to turn her over, but Original Cindy has given her the Tryptophan and Max now handily overpowers him. Original Cindy grabs hold of the Warden's gun, and they force him to take them to his car. Max, not willing to make the same mistake she did when she was young, insists that they bring Maria with them. The Warden drives off the grounds while Original Cindy holds his own gun on him, and Max and Maria hide in the trunk. The Warden pulls a fast one and knocks Original Cindy unconscious. He's about to shoot Max and Maria through the trunk lid when Max bursts it open. Just then, a jeep full of prison guards arrives. Max takes them out and jumps behind the wheel of the Jeep. The Warden has trained his gun on Max, but she slams the Jeep into his car, which knocks into him and sends him off a ravine. Lydecker attempts to retrieve Max's prison records, but Logan has hacked into the system and deleted them. Logan also finds a home for Maria, and sends a personal "Eyes Only" video to Walter warning him to quit shaking down the squatters... C.R.E.A.M A young woman, ALINA, comes to "Eyes Only," asking him to help her find her missing father, NATHAN HERRERO. Herrero was a journalist, and he made a lot of enemies in his day. Two years ago he "disappeared" -- kidnapped from his home by persons unknown and has never been seen alive since. Alina wants "Eyes Only" to find out what happened to him. Logan discusses taking the case with Max. It becomes clear that, back in the days of the free press, Herrero was something of a mentor to Logan. Max, who finds herself naturally empathizing with a girl who's looking for her missing family, encourages him to help Alina. She also agrees to do the necessary legwork. Max's first assignment is to get Herrero's police file from the municipal building. She tangles with a security guard, but eventually retrieves the file and escapes on her motorcycle. Meanwhile, Sketchy has gotten himself into a jam. He's been working as a mule for a local mob boss/casino owner named RAFE, delivering packages of money. One package has disappeared, and Sketchy's on the hook for the missing $15G. Logan checks out Herrero's file and uncovers a lead -- Herrero's housekeeper, REBECCA, purchased an apartment soon after he was snatched. Logan suspects that she may have been paid off by someone, and sends Max to bug the place. However, when Max arrives at the apartment, she sees that Rebecca doesn't live there alone -- her "roommate" is the very-much-alive Nathan Herrero. Logan contacts Herrero and they meet. Herrero tells Logan that he fell in love with Rebecca and was tired of fighting the losing battles, so he faked his own disappearance. Logan tries to convince him that the struggle needs him more than ever -- Allan Lans, a major bad guy, is about to be elected police commissioner -- but Herrero feels he never made a real difference in the world. Now, he just wants to enjoy what life he has left for him. Logan tells Herrero about Alina, and how much she wants to see him. Herrero is surprised -- he admits he wasn't much of a father, but is willing to try to make it up to her. Logan is bitterly disappointed in his mentor, but Max sees things a little more clearly: Herrero is alive, and she's happy to go give Alina the good news. With business taken care of, Max and Original Cindy set about getting Sketchy's money for him. They dress up, and head out for Rafe's casino. Max calculates the speed of the wheel and the ball to win at roulette, but it's at poker that she really excels -- when she shuffles the deck she can see the corner of each card fall into place, and instantly etches them into her photographic memory. Max and Original Cindy win $15G, which they hand off to Sketchy in the alley. He promptly goes inside to pay off Rafe with his own cash. That night, Herrero's apartment blows up, and Logan and Max realize that they were played -- Alina hired them to find her father so she could sell him out to Allan Lans, who then had him killed for real. Max goes looking for Alina and finds her making her escape by train with a suitcase full of money. Max confronts her. They struggle, and the suitcase breaks open, scattering money out an open train car door and into the wind. At the same time, Logan receives a package. Inside is a tape from Herrero, made the day before. A thank you for helping to reunite him with his daughter, and some information he'd been developing that Allan Lans was responsible for the death of a Seattle District Attorney. Logan airs the tape as an "Eyes Only" streaming freedom video. Although it may not affect Lans' election to police commissioner, he's able to honor his mentor one last time... |
