Transcript
00:03Are you working with D.A. Sinclair?
00:05He can't fix his mistakes in prison, Mark.
00:08I will never work for you again.
00:11We can just leave.
00:13So are we dating or what?
00:14Didn't you listen to anything Mom or I said?
00:16We don't kill.
00:18No de-aging detected.
00:22You're back.
00:24My sister and niece are dead.
00:26My wife and child are dead.
00:29All because of you.
00:30I'm not crazy, right?
00:32There was a thing between us.
00:34I'm quitting, Rex.
00:35The Viltrumite campaign has become the scourge of the galaxy.
00:40We stand united against it.
00:42Who possesses the courage to dare free Battle Beast?
00:47Goodbye, my friend.
00:49It's not your time to die yet, pal.
00:51Did you guys do this?
00:53There are fewer than 50 pure-blooded Viltrumites left in the universe.
00:57Go!
00:58Destroy everything in your path.
01:00You're out of shit to explode.
01:02I've got my entire skeleton!
01:05Dickhead.
01:06You've given me no choice.
01:08More words.
01:10You were given orders.
01:12And yet I find this planet unprepared for the arrival of our Viltrum Empire.
01:18Eve, please.
01:20No!
01:21No!
01:22No!
01:22To honor my friend, I am changing my name from Rudy to Rex.
01:28I'm done.
01:29I've given this world enough.
01:31I don't think I'll ever get used to that.
01:33Is this really a wise decision?
01:36We don't have a choice, Donald.
01:37So if anyone else ever puts my family or anyone I love at risk, I won't hesitate to kill them.
02:01I'll meet you at the divine to break the spell.
02:12I'll meet you at the divine to break the spell.
02:41I know that you get my hands.
02:48If I get high, love
02:53Will I see you again?
03:03I'll feel my loss every night
03:08No, I'm too away
03:17And if I do this thing right
03:22I dream of our escape
03:29And we run, and we run, and we run
03:33And we run, and we run, and we run
03:37Until we break
03:42If I get high, love
03:48If I get high, love
03:55Will I see you again?
04:02Will I see you again?
04:09If I get high
04:16If I get high?
04:23If I get high
04:37If I get high
04:40And we run, and we run, and we run
04:43And we run, and we run, and we run
04:45Until we break
04:52And we run, and we run, and we run, and we run
04:59Until we break
05:06And we run, and we run, and we run, and we run, and we run
05:13Oh, my God.
05:43The world really knows how to kick us when we're down.
05:50Sir, it's late. Why don't you let me take it from here?
05:55Yeah, okay. If anything big happens...
05:59I'll come get you. Like always.
06:02The planet's in your hands, Donald.
06:05I'll try not to break it, sir.
06:29No!
06:39I don't know.
07:14Hey.
07:16Sup?
07:20Someone spotted Furnace downtown.
07:22We gotta go stop him before he set something on fire.
07:25I just got home.
07:28Yeah, so did I.
07:30So let someone else do it.
07:33Hey, what the hell?
07:34Just a few months ago, you were begging me to let you fight this guy.
07:37I've been out fighting guys all day.
07:41Yeah, well, there's one more.
07:43There's always one more.
07:45Just because Furnace escaped doesn't mean we have to stop him.
07:49There's other people helping, too.
07:50It's bad out there, Oliver.
07:52And a lot of heroes are gone.
07:54I know.
07:56Then get up.
07:59It's not my fault everything sucks.
08:02What did you say?
08:02Boys?
08:04Everything all right?
08:05I just want to play my game and go to sleep.
08:09Fine.
08:10I'll handle Furnace alone.
08:14Great.
08:19Mark.
08:22Oliver's been helping every day.
08:24I know.
08:26I just...
08:29Oliver's been helping every day.
08:32I know.
08:33I just...
08:36You're both doing so much.
08:39Take a night off.
08:42You don't see the way people look at me out there.
08:47So I don't get to be tired.
08:49Or take a night off.
08:51And neither does...
08:59Everyone, gather round.
09:01You've all been working together for the last few months.
09:04So why don't we make it official?
09:06You want us to rejoin the Guardians?
09:09It just makes sense, Rudy.
09:12Rex.
09:13We left for a reason.
09:15What you did to Mark?
09:17Was a precaution I had to take.
09:19We've worked things out since then.
09:21How do we know you don't have plans to take us down, too,
09:24if we step out of line?
09:25He does have those plans.
09:30Look.
09:31I need you all on the team.
09:32Not just because we do more good together,
09:35but because we need to show the world
09:36that even after everything that happened,
09:39the Guardians are still here,
09:41fighting to keep everyone safe.
09:45If you don't trust him, trust me.
09:48See, suppose any of that shit again,
09:50we'll all take care of it.
09:52Together.
09:53We will?
09:54I mean, we will.
09:57There you go.
09:58We accept your offer.
10:00With a fat salary increase.
10:03But the minute something smells off,
10:05we are gone.
10:07Done.
10:08My people will help you move back in.
10:10Britt will remain his team leader.
10:13Cecil, I agree that Britt's combat experience
10:17made him an excellent field commander,
10:20but...
10:20Oh, don't hold back
10:22because I'm in the room, champ.
10:25I believe a more strategic
10:27and preemptive approach to leadership
10:29is now needed,
10:30making me the logical choice.
10:32My intellect combined with...
10:34No.
10:38Cecil, I don't think you're...
10:41You walked away from the Guardians.
10:43There are consequences to that.
10:46Earn my trust again,
10:47and maybe we can talk.
11:05All right, we got to clear
11:07all this debris over here,
11:08and, uh...
11:10Hey, did you guys request
11:11an assist from Invincible?
11:14Uh, no.
11:16They didn't call for you.
11:19I did.
11:20First, let me thank you, Invincible.
11:24Your war costs so many lives.
11:27I know you think that's a tragedy,
11:30but costs so many lives.
11:32I know you think that's a tragedy,
11:35but you're wrong.
11:37What?
11:38Who are you?
11:39What do you want?
11:41Our planet is overburned and dying,
11:45or choking on our own filth,
11:48stupidly breeding like rabbits
11:50as we stumble towards extinction.
11:53But you...
11:54You gave us what no one else could.
11:58A chance at a better future,
12:00fewer mouths to feed.
12:05Go to hell.
12:07If only you stopped there.
12:10But you have to make up
12:12your mistakes, don't you?
12:14Push that needle back into the black,
12:17no matter what it takes.
12:20You're gonna ruin everything.
12:23Which is why you need to die.
12:30Every life you and your friends save today
12:35is ten lost tomorrow.
12:51You think I picked this moment by accident?
13:13Looks like you picked wrong.
13:19Come on.
13:23Come on.
13:25Come on.
13:30Come on.
13:31Come on.
13:41Come on.
13:42Nooo!
14:23Oh God! Please, please, don't hurt me, please! It's not my fault!
14:29What just happened? Where's the dinosaur?
14:32It's me! Man, it's me! But like, it's also not me!
14:36What are you talking about?
14:38It takes over! I wake up and it's done all this horrible stuff!
14:42It's killing people! You gotta help me!
14:49Come on, man! I said it was my fault! Please, it takes over!
14:55It takes over!
14:58Invincible.
15:15This guy turns into a dinosaur with some stupid ideas about saving the planet.
15:19Oh my God!
15:21Hmm.
15:22We'll bring him in.
15:26Mark, is everything all right?
15:29What do you think?
15:38That's correct.
15:40Yes, it's included.
15:4224-7 response.
15:44It's all in the contract.
15:46I'll email the paperwork tomorrow.
15:49Thank you for choosing Invincible Inc.
15:52Got another new client.
15:55What?
15:56It still feels weird taking people's money.
15:59We're not taking people's money, Mark.
16:01We're taking corporations' money.
16:03And we're donating all of it, just like you wanted.
16:05Yeah, I guess.
16:09What's up?
16:11Nothing.
16:12I just...
16:14had a weird day.
16:18Well, it's about to get a lot weirder.
16:51So, um, Mr. Wilkins, Eve tells me you work in the furniture business.
16:57Oh, well.
16:58I lost my job after the head office got demolished.
17:02In Chicago.
17:08Dad?
17:10Oh, wait.
17:11You already know this.
17:13Since you were the wrecking ball that took them down.
17:17Dad!
17:18We all know your boyfriend's history.
17:20No need to beat around the bush, is there, Mark?
17:24I guess not.
17:27We are two seconds from leaving.
17:30Samantha.
17:32It's okay.
17:33You promised.
17:34It's not a crime to look out for your daughter.
17:37Especially when her boyfriend's got a history like yours.
17:46These green beans are incredible, Mrs. Wilkins.
17:48What do you, um, what do you put on them?
17:56Here.
17:57Let me help.
18:18Oh, uh, no thanks.
18:22Don't smoke, huh?
18:23Samantha.
18:29She's still my little girl, you know.
18:31You'll get it when you have kids of your own someday.
18:36You can have kids, right?
18:39Uh, I think so.
18:47So, you care about Samantha?
18:50More than anything.
18:51Hm.
18:52I hate that she's one of you people.
18:55But I gotta admit, she's made of steel, been in a ton of scraps, and always comes out on top.
19:02I guess she gets it from me.
19:06Until now.
19:08What do you mean?
19:10You saw her in the hospital.
19:12Broken legs, broken face, in a coma.
19:16All thanks to one of your friends.
19:19They weren't my friends.
19:20She wasn't even better before she had to go back out there to save your ass, and got torn in
19:25half by that maniac.
19:27That, that wasn't...
19:34That wasn't my fault.
19:37Maybe.
19:39What I'm saying is, the only two times Samantha's almost died has been because of you.
19:48If you really care for her, maybe think about that.
20:06Mark seems very taken with you.
20:09I hope so. Otherwise, I'm making a big mistake.
20:12Oh, Samantha, don't talk that way. I'm happy for you.
20:16Not everyone is lucky enough to find somebody so special.
20:20Sometimes, good enough has to be, well, good enough.
20:25Wait. Who are we talking about now?
20:28Your father's a good provider and a good husband, even if he has his flaws, but that's just life.
20:33You roll with the punches.
20:35I know how to roll with punches, Mom. What are you saying?
20:40Nothing. Nothing. Nothing at all.
20:42Just, we'll see how it goes with Mark when you're older.
20:46When I'm older? Wait, what?
20:48Betsy, our show's on.
20:53Excuse me, dear.
21:05I told you we shouldn't have done this.
21:08Yeah, you were right.
21:10It's okay. We can leave now.
21:12Oh, God. Was my dad that bad?
21:16No.
21:17No, it's not that.
21:20Then what?
21:23I, uh...
21:24I almost, um...
21:28This talking dinosaur attacked me.
21:32And it said what happened with the other Miis, all the people who died, that it was good.
21:41And it wanted even more people to die because we're messing up the planet or something.
21:45And then...
21:48Then it turned back into this normal guy, and he didn't know what was happening, but I, I, you know,
21:53I felt like I had to do something in case it came back.
21:59The...
22:00Then the Guardian showed up and took him away before anything happened.
22:05Are you saying you were gonna kill him?
22:08No, I, I...
22:09I don't know.
22:11But your dad's right.
22:13I can't keep letting people get hurt because of me.
22:15My dad is not right, Mark.
22:18He is never right.
22:20Can we talk about it later? I, I'm just really tired.
22:28Here.
22:29Thanks.
22:34What's wrong with it?
22:37Oh.
22:40I'm sorry.
22:42My coffee's been terrible lately. I don't know what it is.
22:53Oh, burger night and I'm missing it.
22:57You're making time and a half. Dinner'll wait.
23:00That's what you think. You don't have teenagers. Like a pack of wolves.
23:04The last time, Anna had leftovers from me. They sniffed it out. Animals, I tell you.
23:10Huh. This way?
23:15Looks like it.
23:17Hey, bet you 50 it's rats again.
23:20In this section? Nah.
23:22Gotta be something bigger to clog these pipes.
23:25Oh, God. I hope it's not another fatberg.
23:30Actually, I haven't seen a single rat all night.
23:33They're usually swarming all through here.
23:38Kids and their fucking urban exploring again.
23:42Hey, remind me to tell Doug to get down here with a welder, will ya?
23:54Shit! What the hell was that?
23:57Nah, it's just a rat. The ones you swore weren't here.
24:01That didn't look like a rat.
24:05Okay, we're getting the fuck out of here!
24:10Jesus Christ!
24:12Berk!
24:14Berk!
24:18Oh, my God!
24:19instead, I'm so alone here!
24:19Oh, my God!
24:23volunteer.
24:31Open up.
24:48It's time.
25:19Finally.
25:28Finally.
25:29Finally.
25:48Show me the source of all this power.
26:11Hey.
26:12I just need breakfast first.
26:16Yeah, that's not why I'm here.
26:19The other night, I'm sorry.
26:22I know you do a lot and I know we can't be out there all the time.
26:26It's okay.
26:27I get it.
26:28Yeah, I wish you didn't have to.
26:31You and mom can't protect me from everything.
26:36Where is mom, by the way?
26:39You really haven't been home a lot, have you?
26:45Come back to bed.
26:47Uh, I'm up.
26:49You know, I like to get an early start.
26:53Stay for breakfast at least.
26:55I'm just not sure the boys should see me leaving.
27:03They know adults have sex, Paul.
27:05I mean, Mark and Eve.
27:08That kid should be a lot happier.
27:10Let me put it that way.
27:11And Oliver thinks it's hilarious.
27:13They're fine.
27:15I really shouldn't.
27:17I'll make pancakes.
27:20Brain check.
27:24Fine.
27:25I'll see you tonight.
27:29Hey, Paul.
27:31Want some cereal?
27:33Oh, no, thanks.
27:35I, uh, was just leaving.
27:38Why are you being so weird?
27:40Oliver.
27:42Seriously, we don't mind you being here.
27:45Yeah.
27:45You and mom make almost as much noise as Mark and Eve,
27:48and I never say anything.
27:49Dude.
27:52Mark?
27:53Hey, Eve.
27:54We were just talking about you.
27:57What?
27:58It's Invincible Inc.
28:00Someone's attacking a power station upstate.
28:03Not sure who yet.
28:04She doesn't match anybody I've heard of.
28:06Okay, let's go.
28:09I can come too if you want.
28:10We've already got plans this morning, Oliver.
28:13Remember?
28:14Change your mind about those pancakes?
28:17Heh.
28:22Hmm?
28:26Hmm.
28:44Oh, gross.
28:46Uh, anyone know what the hell this is?
28:49Yeah, I'm nervous.
29:01Uh-huh, no!
29:19You will raise this machine's output to its maximum capacity now.
29:24I told you, it doesn't work like that.
29:28Make it work like that.
29:30You have so much power.
29:33I could sense your world light years away.
29:37No, no, you don't understand.
29:39This plant powers half the coast.
29:41I...
29:43Fine, I'll do it myself.
30:33It's got pants and everything, just like you asked.
30:36Thanks, Art.
30:39That one's growing like a weed.
30:42Tell me about it.
30:43Yeah, I hear he's doing well, even with everything that happened.
31:16He spent a week in the hospital.
31:18I don't know.
31:19It's mine.
31:21That, uh, okay with you?
31:27This thing is ridiculous.
31:29It belongs in one of your circuses.
31:32The immortal was a fool to suggest this craftsman.
31:35Hey, now.
31:37The immortal sent you here because he's your friend.
31:40He knows dressing like other heroes will help people trust you.
31:44And it looks good.
31:47It does make my strength and power clear.
31:51Yes.
31:53It does.
31:56Hmm.
31:59I spoke prematurely.
32:01This will do.
32:03Good.
32:03Glad to hear it.
32:05You should have seen what happened when Darkwing decided he didn't like his new costume.
32:11He wouldn't come out of this game for a while.
32:16Oliver's more than his father's son.
32:19If he can pick his own battles, he can pick his own costume.
32:24He can pick his own costume.
32:45The blackout is spreading along the eastern seaboard, including the plant itself.
32:49If their cooling system doesn't get power back soon, we'll have a meltdown on our hands.
32:58Who do we have in the area?
33:01Eve and Invincible are responding.
33:02The plant signed up for their, uh, business.
33:06Give them some troopers for backup, just in case.
33:10Sirs, we have a priority situation.
33:19Forget about the plant.
33:21What do we have in the area?
33:24We have a meltdown on our hands.
33:37I'll clear the civilians.
33:46How dare you!
33:48Listen, lady, I don't know who you are or what you want,
33:51but this is over.
33:53My people are dying without this energy.
33:57Yeah, but you're killing these people to get it.
34:00How does that make sense?
34:13Mark!
34:17No!
34:18No!
34:19No!
34:21No!
34:23No!
34:24Shit!
34:31Ah!
34:34Ah!
34:47Shit!
34:58Ah!
34:59Ah! Ah!
35:09Ah!
35:10Ah! Ah!
35:17You've dealt with Secwidge before, so you know how bad this is.
35:23Luckily, the GDA planned for this eventuality.
35:31Right now, agents are deploying a containment dome.
35:37It's experimental, but it should buy us some time.
35:42Oh!
35:52Press the button, and your neural disruptor shocks all sequins within ten feet, making them drop off anyone they've grabbed.
36:00Then hit the civilian with a teleport dart to get them out of there.
36:04Lather. Rinse. Repeat. Until we've saved everyone.
36:09Without a host, these things go back to being slime that washes up on the beach.
36:13One other thing.
36:15I'm getting to that.
36:17If even a single infected person escapes our containment, they'll spread across the planet, and we lose forever. Got it?
36:41Wait. We can talk about this.
36:44I'm sorry. There's too much at stake.
36:58No! I have to do this!
37:02I've heard that before.
37:16Fool. Only the Chosen may touch the staff of leadership.
37:22Hey!
37:50What? What happened?
38:03Yeah!
38:09Huh?
38:09Huh?
38:10Huh?
38:12Huh?
38:14Huh?
38:28Too slow. Too weak. Too few. You can't stop us.
38:47Cecil, we're gonna need help. You okay? Yeah. How'd you do that? I'm not sure. Without the staff, she just
39:00went down. I think all of her powers come from it. All clear? Okay, hurry. Still, nice punch. I had
39:11to do something.
39:13What was up with your powers?
39:23I don't know.
39:28I need your help, both of you.
39:30We can't, Cecil. Eve's powers aren't working.
39:33What? Shit.
39:38Just you, then. The Sekwids, they're here and about five minutes away from being everywhere.
39:47Go. I'll be fine.
39:52No tricks. I swear.
40:14Hey, you. Come in.
40:20Hey, I wanted to apologize for this morning. Uh, I know. It was a little awkward.
40:26It's fine. Really.
40:29You were right. You know, the boys, they obviously are okay with me staying over.
40:34They just like to joke about parents having sex. It's probably healthier than how I acted at their age.
40:39Yeah, me too.
40:42They know you make me happy. One that makes them happy.
40:47You always know just what to say.
40:51Hardly.
40:52I mean it. I'm lucky to have you.
40:57Debbie, why don't we move in together?
41:01What?
41:03Sorry, it just came out. Though I've been thinking about it for a while.
41:07You just said we make each other happy when we're together. Maybe we could have that every day.
41:15I... I just hadn't thought about it yet.
41:18Of course. Think about it. Take your time.
41:26No. No, I... No, I don't need time. I need a future.
41:31And mine's with you.
41:41Let's do it.
41:43Okay. Okay.
41:46Shoot. Sorry.
41:51Oh, are the boys there?
41:54I don't know.
42:05We don't have extra disruptors, so get the hosts to someone who's got one.
42:09Let's do whatever you can to help.
42:11On it!
42:12Hmm.
42:25Broguelab, what are you doing? Keep moving!
42:27I've detected life signs under the streets in this area.
42:31It's rats or something. Ignore it.
42:34They're too large to be rats.
42:37We should look for additional human hosts hidden in the sewers.
42:40The dome goes underground. We'll get to them. Don't split up.
42:44I remind you, if we miss a single host, these creatures will retain their hive intelligence.
42:50Deal with the people up here first, robot. That's an order.
43:12Slimey, motherfuckers.
43:14Now!
43:18And that's for Mars. I'm from there. I'm from Mars.
43:41Dome stability at eight percent and dropping.
43:44Robot, how many left?
43:46Other than ourselves, there are six human life forms left on the city's surface.
44:17B-behind you!
44:27Three, two, one.
44:57They got my Disruptor.
44:59Mine too.
45:27Ah!
45:29Ah!
45:36Ah!
45:39Ah!
45:40Ah!
45:41Ah!
45:42Ah!
45:43Ah!
45:43Oh!
45:50Yeah.
45:52Ah!
45:55Ah!
45:59Ah!
46:01Ah!
46:02Ah!
46:04Ah!
46:06Ah!
46:10Ah!
46:15Ah!
46:22Anything else I can do for you, ma'am?
46:26No. Thank you.
46:29I'm fine.
46:43What happened now?
47:05I need a disruptor!
47:07You heard the man.
47:09Ah!
47:10Bulletproof!
47:12How did you get here?
47:14You brought us here.
47:16No. We made sure.
47:19Not sure enough.
47:26Dome integrity at 4%.
47:29Get that disruptor there!
47:34On my way!
47:43You'll get used to your new symbiosis.
47:47Humans have set with this one.
47:49Forever!
48:14Dome integrity at 1%.
48:19We're seconds from collapse.
48:31I'm sorry.
48:59Dome victory!
