• [last lines] 

  [lights come on in bathroom, he walks in, reflected in the mirror, takes his Cerebralolol medication out and pours it down the sink] 

  Stephen Jameson : [V.O]  My name is Stephen Jameson.

  [in the school hallway, catches up to Astrid] 

  Stephen Jameson : This is where I go to school.

  [John and Cara in their base] 

  Stephen Jameson : *These* are my friends.

  John Young : What happened?

  Cara Coburn : Stephen made his decision.

  [at Ultra headquarters, escorted up the stairs] 

  Stephen Jameson : This is where I work...

  [and into Dr. Jedikiah Price's office] 

  Stephen Jameson : ...and this is my new boss.

  Stephen Jameson : [aloud]  I'm in.

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : Welcome aboard, Stephen.

  [Jedikiah holds out his hand, Stephen shakes it] 

  Cara Coburn : [telepathically]  I hope you know what you're doing.

  Stephen Jameson : [telepathically]  Yeah, me too.

• [a black hood is snatched off Stephen's head. He's wrist-bound to a chair in a room with unusual acoustic tiling on the wall] 

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : [clears throat]  I'm sorry about that. Security precautions. Aw, speaking of which, you see the walls? Don't bother trying to teleport out of here. My name's Dr. Price.

  Stephen Jameson : You're one of them? Ultra?

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : I can only imagine what John has said. That I'm some... Boogeyman, systematically rounding up your kind and wiping you out. Did he say why I was doing this or just because I'm evil?

  Stephen Jameson : Yeah, because you're scared of us.

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : Well, I'm an evolutionary biologist. If anything, I'm fascinated. No, what scares me is what the rest of the world will think if they knew a paranormal species was living secretly in their midst. A species that could annihilate them.

  Stephen Jameson : They don't want to be found. Okay? They just want to be left alone.

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : You have no idea what this world would look like if I didn't find people like you and stop people like you. Look at this. We just found a 17-year-old who stole $70 million from the Federal Reserve. You got a 16-year-old who was caught trying to tag the Oval Office. An 18-year-old who was caught tweeting nuclear launch codes. And so many breakouts, Stephen. It's all over the world, unpredictable, uncontrollable. I'm not the bad guy here, Stephen. Not by a long shot.

  [Jedikiah picks up a big syringe with a long needle and flicks the tube] 

• Luca Jameson : [coming downstairs]  So, we have an uncle. Jedikiah? That's a little random.

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : You must be Luca. I hear you inherited your father's athletic genes.

  Luca Jameson : [exhales]  Hope that's all I got.

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : Yes. Let's hope.

• Damian : We have some leads on the file John stole. There are over 300 names. But when we focus on patients who suffer from both auditory hallucinations and somnambulism, only seven.

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : [seeing Stephen's picture]  That's him.

  Damian : How do you know?

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : I recognize the face.

• Stephen Jameson : What the hell are you doing here?

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : Reuniting my family.

  Stephen Jameson : You're not my family.

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : [taking a picture out of his blazer pocket]  That's your dad and I. Only I was born human and he was born like you. The whole reason I became a geneticist was to understand him and perhaps one day help him. Work for me, Stephen. Clearly, I underestimated you. We've only just glimpsed what you're capable of. If you let me help you hone your skills...

  Stephen Jameson : Ultra hunts down people like me. Why would I wanna help them?

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : For them. Your family.

  Stephen Jameson : Are you threatening them?

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : No, you're threatening them if you don't help me contain the spread of your species. Can't you see I'm offering you an opportunity to protect the people you love?

  Stephen Jameson : Yeah, and to be a traitor.

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : To whom? Some rebel runaways you met two days ago? Or to your mother? Your brother. Your friend. Astrid, is it? Therapy records. Very illuminating. Sooner or later, Stephen, you are going to have to pick a side.

• Dr. Jedikiah Price : Your new friends want you to believe that your father's a hero. That he's still alive. They lied to you.

  [handing Stephen a tablet with a video file playing, of a figure breaking into a car] 

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : That's your dad. After he broke into my office and sabotaged my research.

  [after the figure gets into the car, it promptly explodes] 

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : You don't want that to happen to you. Work with me, Stephen. Come be an agent at Ultra.

• Dr. Jedikiah Price : So you've decided to come home. Did you think he was gonna help you find your promised land? Is that it? It doesn't exist. And even if it did, you're sure as hell never gonna see it.

  Stephen Jameson : [Price fires his gun]  No!

  John Young : [seeing the bullet in mid-air]  Stephen, how are you doing that?

  Stephen Jameson : I don't know.

  John Young : Get us out. Now!

• Damian : Sir! There's been a breach.

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : [turning on a monitor; to Stephen]  Well, your friends are coming to rescue you. That's one way to get them out of hiding.

• Dr. Jedikiah Price : No one is going to hurt you. Actually, this might hurt just a little bit.

  Stephen Jameson : What is it?

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : Well, I could give you a boring lecture about recombinant DNA therapy, but the short story is, this will fix you. Return you to the way you used to be.

  Stephen Jameson : There's nothing wrong with me!

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : Shh. You're so much like your father. So much promise. But you don't want to end up like him, do you? I don't know what myths John has spun about who your father is, but they're not true.

  Stephen Jameson : Yeah? And I'm supposed to believe you?

  Dr. Jedikiah Price : Well, you can believe whatever you want. But your father's not coming back to save you or the Tomorrow People. Because he's dead.
