SEASON 4 COUNTDOWN

This list will be updated if/when Delphine is mentioned. It will end when we get confirmation of her being dead or alive.

Cosima: I need you to tell me that Delphine is alive. (x)

(x)

Well, that was disappointing. While she hadn’t pushed her further against the wall, she wasn’t exactly giving Cosima room to get away from her.  “You know very much about science. Why are you going to the lab?” It seemed she was giving her another chance to be honest this time.

That wasn’t true, Helena knew about all of the copies. Thomas made sure of that, they could never be caught off guard by one. Good, now the copies were being punished by Him, helping her to get rid of them much faster. “Hm,” she grunted, looking Cosima over. “Do you have this bleeding?” Maybe she was already weak and would be easier to kill.

Helena didn’t move back, knowing she would try to run. Wouldn’t anyone in this scenario? There was no way she was letting her get away. At the mention of Danielle Fornier she gave a slight nod of her head. Of course she had heard of her before, she was always given lists of names. “Yes, it took her before I could find her. I did not know it was disease.” There were so many copies, some sick when she found them, some not. It hadn’t been enough for her to notice a common thread between all of the sick ones. Although it did jog her memory. “Do they cough blood?”

Some part of Helena wanted to believe that she was telling the truth now. That she wouldn’t lie to her. But, there was also reason to remain cautious and she kept a close eye on her body language as she spoke. “A disease?” That wasn’t something that had been mentioned by Thomas. Was it another punishment He had given these copies?

“Does it kill the copies?”

At her attempt to speak, she released her grip a bit. Maybe she would finally start giving her the information she wanted. Some times people just needed a little persuading and she had been trained exactly how to get it out of them. “You will not lie. Not again.” Her fingers tightened for just a moment before releasing the tight grip on her neck.

“You are scientist. What do you do about the copies? What do you know?”

Cosima was glad that she got some air again. She took in as much as she could just in case she wouldn’t be breathing ever again soon. This woman was clearly brainwashed and she felt sad for her but didn’t show. She couldn’t show any emotion now. “I won’t” Cosima gasped and pressed her lips together.

“Thomas said I should know. That I am important.” Cosima trying to convince her that she wasn’t the original only served to push her closer to the edge, nostrils flaring as her eyes bore into her. Her hand lifted, fingers attempting to squeeze around her neck. This one talked too much.

“There is no guilt.” Was she trying to make her feel bad? It wasn’t helping to save her. “You are not me, nothing like me.” Her other hand began to reach down for her knife, wanting this- no needing this to end.

Cosima nodded a little. She didn’t say any other word as this woman was squeezing her neck. She just studied the woman in front of her. If she didn’t want to kill her what else did she want? Because there was nothing Cosima could give her.
