Painkiller Jane

My name is jane vasco.

I could use you on my team.

I work for a secret government agency that hunts neuros.

People who can do dangerous things with their minds.

On my first assignment...

Something a little weird happened,

okay, something really weird.

Until I get some answers I'm getting on with my life,

doing my job.

Stocking up on aspirin,

because...

I gotta tell ya

pain's a bitch!

They say bad things come in threes.

I've had about eight so far today

so I gotta think I've had my quota.

Maybe not.

Can I help you?

Were we supposed to get together tonight?

It doesn't matter, thank god you're here

because I can't get my stupid key to work.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry, who are you?

Look, I've had a hell of a day.

All I want is a couple tylenol

- and a dozen glasses of wine. - Look, Miss, I...

I really don't have time for this.

Brian, it's not funny.

No, you're right, it's not.

Either go now or I am going to have to call the police.

Daddy

When're we going to eat?

In a minute, sweetie.

Who's she?

No one.

Why don't you go back and finish getting ready

mom'll be home soon, okay?

You're not going to believe what happened today, people.

Very weird.

Very neuro.

Hope someone has an explanation,

because I have no idea what the...

What the hell are you doing down here?

Joe.

Joe, it's me, jane.

I don't want no trouble.

So just get the hell out of here and leave me alone.

I need some answers, joe.

What the hell is going on here?

I'll shoot,

I'll do it.

Go ahead.

We both know I'll heal.

Andre, talk to me.

And tell me you know who I am.

Jane, listen to me,

they shut down nico,

they're destroying any evidence of the team's existence.

Joe's been re-programmed, they killed connor and riley.

They're getting close to me.

It's just a matter of time before they find you.

Why is this happening!

There's got to be...

You tell me.

Should I be paranoid right now.

Most of my team's been assassinated,

joe has been brainwashed,

and I can't even begin to understand

what's going on with my boyfriend.

I'm also about to be offed.

I hate the word "offed".

I hate the concept more.

Andre says they're trying to wipe out any trace of

the unit and what we do.

I can't let that happen.

Since I don't have time to write my memoirs,

I've got to find a way, and fast.

Which is why I'm thinking about Simon.

Well, I suppose I should be flattered,

an entire team

the best of the best,

devoted to following and finding people like me.

Your friend, Riley, his mind is a vault of information,

neuros...

That's what you call us.

At least I'm glad to know that I'm not alone in my uniqueness.

Today is your lucky day, pal,

because I'm about to arrange for you

to meet the rest of the freaks

so you don't feel so lonely.

If you ever want to see your friend again, intact,

that might not be the wise thing to do.

Wait

let's hear him out.

We don't even know if anyone can restore riley's memory.

Oh, I can.

I can steal knowledge, I can transfer knowledge

and I can restore knowledge.

It's jane vasco.

I need to see you.

A '71 latour should be savored not gulped.

Savoring's not in my life right now.

I don't even know if life is in my life right now.

Why are you here, jane?

My team has been taken out

and I'm supposed to be next.

If that happens,

the world will never know.

About us.

About what you did to us.

For good or bad, there needs to be a record.

And I thought you were here to chip me...

You're here for me to pick your brain.

Yes.

You realize...

That you're... dying.

I know.

But I still think you can get the story down

and put it somewhere safe.

Are you willing to help me?

Yes, I will help you.

So, how exactly does this work?

Take my hands.

Just envision your experiences.

But there's so many.

Start at the beginning

Have a seat.

Your current investigation has been terminated by the director.

Why?

She chose not to share that with me, agent vasco.

I could use you on my team.

Only I don't know what your team does, do I?

We hunt neuros, neurological aberrant,

six years ago the government became aware

of a genetic aberration appearing in the population.

Those with the aberration

posses a unique ability to influence others.

Welcome to the freak show.

Someone is dealing substandard medications

on the black market.

We believe there's a neuro behind the operation.

The drugs in question are made and manufactured by vonotek.

So we got to go back in.

Yes, but not solo.

I want you and jane inside.

You can play tag with hyde and watch each other's back.

He's vonotek's head of security.

Report to security on floor 1-14

take the express elevator.

Blue one's hyde, jane's on him.

Just landed on the 46th floor.

What the hell are you doing?!

It's me, it's jane!

Why am I not dead?

Agent vasco just survived a 46 storey fall.

Lacerations, contusions, internal organ damage,

she doesn't have any.

Not even a scratch.

Is she...?

Nothing in her blood work, tissue samples, brain scan

indicate anything related to what we're dealing with.

Listen to me!

Whatever the hell is going on with me,

I really need to know what it is.

Okay?

I'll answers for you, jane.

You have my word.

Despite their differences, we've discovered

a definable pattern in their gene code.

This aberration seems to affect the neurological center

of the frontal and cerebral cortex.

But we've encountered dozens of variations.

In how many people?

To date, almost 200.

What the hell are you talking about?

Obviously a neuro that can raise people from the dead.

Obviously.

I came up with at least a dozen other cases

of corpses missing from graveyards.

All within the last nine weeks.

They're all young.

And hot.

I didn't hurt anybody.

You know it isn't right.

You have to make it stop.

That's none of your business!

I know all about being lonely, eric.

This all started when albert died.

Albert's my friend.

And you missed him and you were lonely.

Why don't you chip the little bastard.

Can't get a clean shot without hitting vasco.

just dial the range vector to three feet beyond.

It'll pass right through her.

Eric, you're going to be okay.

All right? Nobody's gonna hurt you.

You're gonna be okay.

Let's go kiddo!

Where are you taking me?

I didn't hurt anyone.
