Three Inches Page #6

there was something going on

with you.

Not this, because this is

insane, but still.

And the hottie?

Watts.

What's, uh...

What's her superpower?

She can make you happy,

she can make you sad.

I meet a lot of girls like that.

[ Chuckles ]

And this, uh, Troy guy...

You trust him?

I don't know.. I did.

Why would he send you

after a little girl?

Does she have superpower, too?

I cannot believe, I

didn't see that till now

You're special, just like us.

What kind of powers

do you have?

Lots.

How'd you get them

I was hit by lightning.

Did it hurt?

Lots.

They were medicating her.

It's probably an inhibitor.

You think your powers

will come back if they stop?

Hope not.

Why?

I don't want to be different.

I'm only 10.

I wanna be a real girl.

Then I'm gonna take care

of you.

[ Breathing heavily ]

So this is how you fight evil?

You kidnap little girls

with superpowers?

I don't know what this is, okay?

Look, we should call Troy.

He'll know what do.

Listen, there's a client, right?

Somebody who wants her?

Looks that way.

She is scared to death.

I can see that.

What about this client?

What do they want her for?

I don't know.

Watts, we cannot

just give her to them.

Do you have a plan?

No, not yet.

Then I'm calling Troy.

Wait. Please?

Just give me till the morning.

I'll think of something.

Please.

Watts:
She left sometime during

the night or early this morning.

Her name's Cassie.

The package is a little girl.

She's just like us... she has powers.

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

Right now, the most important

thing is to find her.

You're dead!

I'm bulletproof.

We know there are at least

two teams in pursuit.

There's the guards

from the warehouse,

there's a backup crew

working with the guards...

Walter:
Literally?

Bulletproof?

Walter, he wears body armor.

She has powers.

That explains why they had her,

and that means that they'll do

anything to get her back.

We don't have much time.

Also, there's a mysterious

motorcycle rider.

What were you doing all night?

Running for our lives!

You let her get away.

Enough.

The only thing you need to think

about is getting her back.

Let me help... please.

Walter, go home.

It's been a long night

for everyone.

But...

Go home!

We'll find her. Count on it!

Watts!

[ Cellphone buzzes ]

[ Engine turns over ]

[ Beeps ]

Hey.

She's been there all morning.

You didn't talk to her?

Are you kidding me?

What if she has laser beams

in her eyes?

Look.

The mysterious motorcycle

rider's a woman.

Okay, look, easy rider...

I don't want to hurt you,

but if you provoke me...

Leave her alone!

Cassie, run!

Brandon?

Let go of me!

Cate!

Wh...

Hey, what are you doing?

Mission accomplished.

We transfer the package

to the client in the morning.

[ Car door closes,

engine turns over ]

Who are you?

[ Sighs ]

I'm her sister.

Cassie's special, isn't she?

Yeah, in ways no one understands.

When word got out,

they came after us.

Government, corporate, private.

I mean, they don't care

that she's just a kid.

So, we've been on the run

ever since.

I do whatever it takes

to protect her,

but, you know, it's never enough.

Do you know

who was holding her?

It doesn't matter

they all want the same thing.

Who do you work for?

It's a long story.

Who went you after my sister?

Well, there's a client,

but that doesn't mean...

A client.

Look, I don't want to hurt

Cassie. I want to help her.

Really?

Why do you think your

client is gonna need her?

They gonna probe and

measure my little sister

just like everyone else does.

Where are you going?

I'm going to get her back.

Dude, game over.

It's time to go home.

Walter.

Where you been?

I called and texted,

and you never...

You okay?

No, I'm not.

Well, look what the cat

dragged in.

We don't have a cat.

That's just an expression.

But if we did, I would have

spent the night telling snowball

that my son was missing

and he didn't answer my calls

and I was afraid he was lying

in the ditch somewhere...

You know, the default ditch

that every mother sees

in her head

when her child doesn't come home.

[ Voice breaking ]

I'm glad you're not dead.

Thank you.

Do you need anything?

No.

[ Sobs ]

[ Phone buzzes ]

Hello?

Her sister's name is Cate,

and all she's trying to

do is protect her.

And she says this client...

Whoever it is

who knows what they'll do to her?

Troy, you said it was a package,

but it's not,

and I don't see ...

I didn't come here to talk

about the mission.

I came here to make sure

you were all right.

You said I could help you make

the world better place.

And we didn't make it better,

did we?

Changing the world takes time.

Yeah.

Well, I don't think

I can do that.

I guess what I mean is...

Quit.

[ Sighs ]

Walter...

Your abilities

have been tested.

Sometimes when we're tested,

we start to doubt the things

that makes us special.

Is being special

always this hard?

It gets easier over time.

How is she?

Cassie?

She's safe.

What about the client?

The client expects

prompt delivery.

What kind of client is this, anyway?

Walter!

What about the sister?

Cate said she...

I'll handle the sister!

Cassie is at HQ,

safe and sound.

We transfer her to the client

in the morning.

You're off prep.

Back where I belong.

You?

I'm about to do

something stupid,

and I need your help.

Is it really stupid?

Cool.

Hope it's something

nice and sweet

[ Sobbing, sniffles ]

But since you came around

and you fed another hound

it's another

tv dinner cuisine

Hey.

How'd you find me?

I asked Todd

then I ask Ethan.

Ethan asked Annika.

What's on your mind, Walter?

I went home.

Good idea.

I can't stop thinking about Cassie.

Bad idea.

Cassie needs my help

so she can be a real girl.

But in the morning, they're

transferring her to the client.

I don't even know

who the client is.

And by then it'll be too late.

So I'm going rogue to save her,

and I don't care

what the consequences are.

Because, for the first time

in my life,

I know exactly what to do next.

Also, it would be great

if you came with me.

Good speech.

Thanks.

I usually practice them first.

[ Sobbing ]

What's with him?

Never mind.

[ Sniffles ]

How many superfreaks

are out here?

It's an HQ.

Not a sideshow door.

HQ is basically empty.

One guard on top, a couple below.

They're armed,

and they're bored.

What are you doing here?

We're gonna get her back.

Hang on a second.

What are you guys doing here?

Hey.

Huh.

[ Grunting ]

I'm starting to think

you enjoy that.

Wait, are you flirting

with me now?

Would it be a bad thing

if I was flirting with you now?

Hm.

Watts?

Shift change.

On whose orders?

Midnight... Snack.

For who?

[ Alarm beeping ]

[ Beep ]

Cassie.

Brandon:
Stop!

What the hell do you think

you're doing?

Go. Go.

Let's go. Let's go.

This is a bad idea.

I know.

What do you think happens next?

You're gonna try to stop us.

Oh, no.

Too late.

No, please.
