00:08Jesse Reese
00:12I'm Detective Claude Martin
00:13Just transferred from Bloodhaven
00:17What can I do for you?
00:18They told me upstairs that if I'm looking for the bazaar
00:21I'm looking for Jesse Reese
00:23That doesn't sound too much like a compliment to me
00:25It wasn't to them
00:26It is to me
00:30I heard you got a corpse with a cause of death
00:32That could charitably be called screamingly weird
00:35I'm tracking a killer with a fairly bizarre MO
00:38You mind if I take a look at those?
00:45That's Arnie Graves
00:47Petty thief graduating from purses to wallets
00:49Gets his chest cavity burned out by acid
00:52Sound like your guy?
00:53It's hard to tell
00:54He never kills the same way twice
00:56Although
00:58This does have a special sick flair
00:59I've come to associate with his best work
01:04So Bloodhaven PD sent you all the way over here to catch this perp
01:07No
01:08They think I'm nuts
01:10When I saw the murder showing up in New Gotham
01:12I put in for the transfer myself in Bloodhaven
01:14They were happy to get rid of me
01:16Now my chief says this guy doesn't exist
01:18That no serial killer would use such a wide variety of methods
01:22And what do you say?
01:23I say this one does
01:24That's the problem with only looking for things you've already seen
01:28Makes you blind to the stuff that's right in front of your face
01:33Yeah, well I hear you on that one
01:34But you might just want to keep that opinion to yourself
01:36If you want to be taken seriously around these parts
01:39Ask me if I care
01:40Right
01:42Anyway
01:43Your chief assigned me to work with you
01:45Until your partner gets back from vacation
01:47So I guess he thinks I'm Mulder Jr. already
01:54All right
01:56Let's go check this thing down
02:05Hey
02:16Hey
02:19How high was that?
02:21What, ten stories?
02:22Not nearly
02:23Maybe five
02:28What?
02:30What are you doing here?
02:32Trying to track down info on a guy with a big old smoking acid hole
02:36In his chest
02:37Any insight?
02:39Yeah, maybe
02:39What do you know about it?
02:42I was trying to help
02:44Bet I solve it first
02:46What do you say?
02:47Cup of coffee?
02:49Loser buys?
02:51You know, I don't think coffee is such a good idea
02:52And I'm not all that thrilled about sharing information either
02:55Why not?
02:56I'll tell you why not
02:58Because I don't even know your name
03:00I have no idea who you are
03:02I'm the girl that saved your life
03:03I'm the girl that saved your life, remember?
03:07I'll tell you what
03:08Detective
03:10This name thing's such a big deal for you
03:12Fine
03:13You can call me Huntress
03:17That's still not good enough
03:18I mean
03:26So did you find out anything about that acid guy?
03:28Oh
03:29Nothing that makes sense
03:30That sample I took from Helena's clothes is the same stuff that killed him
03:33Which means he was murdered by exactly the same acid that he produces
03:38Two metahumans hardly ever have the same power
03:40So, um, what, acid guy ran into another acid guy?
03:44Who just so happened to be behind a dumpster?
03:46How likely is that?
03:47You mean an evil twin?
03:49I think that sums up our likelihood issue
03:50I've been through all my research files, checked the database
03:53I can't find anything on power duplication
03:55So we've got a metahuman mystery on our hands
04:00You know who we should talk to
04:01Now wait a minute
04:02No one knows the metahuman community better than he does
04:05So you go talk to him
04:06No, he's not going to tell a non-meta anything
04:07I mean, we need to put him here to the metahuman street
04:10There's a metahuman street?
04:12Yeah, just west of the Magic Kingdom
04:16Fine, I'll go to no man's land
04:18Thank you
04:19No man's land?
04:21Are there metas there?
04:23Can I go?
04:24On 4th Street, yes, and not on a school night
04:29How are you doing?
04:30It's exciting
04:31At home I ate at going to school
04:32There are no secrets in a small town
04:34I was a freak and everybody knew it
04:37Everybody
04:38But here it's like a fresh start
04:39You know, no one even knows who I am
04:41Well, you know what my class knows if you need anything
04:45Do you have your schedule?
04:47Block or sign?
04:49Hey, Barbara
04:50You're channeling June Claver
04:53Right, sorry
04:54Um, have fun
04:57I'll see you later
05:01Okay, I'm Dinah Redmond
05:03I'm new, thanks for having me
05:05Come on, Dinah
05:06We all want to get to know you
05:07Why don't you start with where you're from?
05:11Well, um, Opal, Missouri
05:13It's small
05:15Um, it's not much of a town
05:17Actually
05:18However, it is where the term zipper was coined
05:21So, if any of you have zippers
05:23You have Opal to thank for that
05:27And, um, that's where I'm from
05:30Can I sit down now?
05:31Uh, okay
05:37Invisibility
05:38That would be a good power to have
05:48Wait, hi
05:50Hi
05:52Uh, listen, about Tuesday night
05:55I was wondering
05:56I know it's really short notice
05:58But my folks are coming through town
05:59And
06:00Oh, oh, no, no
06:00I, I totally understand
06:02You, you need to cancel
06:03It's fine
06:04Actually, I was hoping you'd come to dinner with us
06:08Nice deer in the headlights impression
06:09Very subtle
06:11Well, wait, I, I don't know
06:14Maybe that's not such a great idea
06:15Don't worry about it
06:16They're great
06:17You're gonna love them
06:18I'm not worried about that
06:19I, I
06:20What if they don't?
06:23Don't what?
06:24See me the way you do
06:27Yeah
06:27Good point
06:30After all
06:31You're funny and interesting
06:32Maybe a little bit mysterious
06:34They'll probably run screaming
06:38They'll like you
06:40Know how I know
06:42How?
06:44Because I do
06:52So, uh
06:53Give me an idea
06:54What gets classified as bizarre in New Gotham
06:57I've seen some things
06:58There's just no sane explanation for
07:00I left my sanity behind a long time ago
07:03Slowing me down
07:04Yeah, I hear that
07:06I have seen perps
07:08They could shoot electricity out of their hands
07:10Who could jump ten stories straight down
07:12Land on their feet
07:13Perps who could turn into bugs
07:15Is that a lot of little bugs
07:16Or one big bug?
07:17Bullwuff
07:19Have you ever run across anybody
07:21Who could turn himself into water?
07:23What, like a liquid guy?
07:26No, that's a new one
07:27Even for me
07:28Yeah, tell me about it
07:30Morton
07:31You know we're talking about things
07:32That no normal person can do
07:34Because we're not talking about people
07:36We're dealing with something
07:38Very dangerous here
07:39Don't ever make the mistake
07:40Of thinking those creatures
07:41Or anything like us
07:42I think the word creatures
07:44Is a little extreme
07:44It isn't
07:47Look
07:48What if I could make
07:49All this make sense to you, Rhys?
07:51What if I could give you the answer
07:52To all the crazy things you've seen?
08:07You all right?
08:08You all right?
08:11Yeah, sometimes I
08:12I just get these headaches
08:14That knock me flat on my ass
08:15Like now
08:18Look, uh
08:19I gotta go home
08:21We'll finish this conversation
08:23In the morning, okay?
08:25Yeah
08:26Yeah, sure
08:44Building's closed, my friend
08:45You shouldn't be in here
08:53What do you want?
08:54I want you
08:55Hey man, I did nothing to you
08:58It's not about what you did
09:02It's about what you are
09:05Whoa, whoa
09:05You really don't want to push me
09:07Back off
09:10I warned you
09:12I warned you
09:50No way you heard me
09:52Quite right
09:56Lime mandarin soap
09:57With just a hint of new Gotham grime
10:00I recognize that scent anywhere
10:01You smelled me
10:05Come my delectable little peach pit
10:07Let me buy you a drink
10:09It's on the house
10:29Hey Frosty
10:31Helena
10:32Why such a stranger?
10:34Oh, you know
10:35All work
10:36No play
10:36Usual for me, Frosty
10:38And if memory serves
10:39Vodka rocks for the long now
10:41Coming up
10:41So the mysterious
10:43And provocative Huntress
10:44Has chosen once again
10:45To grace me with her presence
10:47It's been too long
10:48Funny, to me
10:49It never quite seems long enough
10:5023 days
10:5114 hours
10:527 minutes
10:52And 3 seconds
10:53Stop it
10:54Can't
10:55To never forget
10:56A sight, sound, taste, touch, or smell
10:57It's my gift
10:58And my curse
10:59I thought your curse
11:01Was to be the metahuman
11:02With the world's most annoying power
11:04Yeah, that too
11:07A meta pit pocket
11:08Was killed the other night
11:09Looks like by someone
11:10With the exact same powers
11:11Have you heard anything?
11:13Nothing
11:14In fact, I've never heard
11:15Of two metas
11:16With exact power overlap
11:18Do you think
11:18That's even possible?
11:20I don't know what I think
11:21Something strange
11:22Is going on, though
11:25Thank you for the drink
11:27Yeah, no problem
11:29I'll, uh, put it on your tab
11:30Oh, no, that's right
11:31You don't have one
11:32Because that would require
11:33More than a semi-annual visit
11:34Tell me something
11:36Is it the cocktail peanuts
11:37Or the metahony policy
11:38That makes you so uncomfortable?
11:40I'm half metah Gibson
11:41The other half is human
11:43Just keep your eyes open, okay?
11:45They always are
11:46And you know
11:47They never forget
11:49Come on, Helena
11:50How about another round
11:51With us poor lost souls?
12:18Hey, zipper girl
12:20How's it going?
12:23Zipper girl?
12:24Good, that was a good one
12:46Hey, you gotta call that, man
12:49I'm out of here
12:50All right, Frosty
12:51We'll see ya
12:51Me too
12:52All right
13:02What the hell
13:02Are you doing here?
13:04I just
13:05Am skipping school
13:06Yeah, I could see that
13:07How did you find this place?
13:10Have you been poking around
13:11In my mind again?
13:12Actually, I looked up
13:13In the yellow pages
13:15What about the
13:16Secret entrance?
13:17Yeah, there was this guy out front
13:18I sort of saw him coming out
13:24Look, school
13:26I'm not exactly fitting in
13:28Hard to do when you're not there
13:29Come on, I'm walking you back
13:32I'm not gonna be responsible
14:01I'm not gonna be responsible for you getting in trouble
14:01Technically, sleeping is true
14:01I just don't see the point of going to high school
14:03I mean, I already know what I want to be
14:05A superhero
14:06You don't need algebra for that
14:07You need it to have a normal life
14:09I don't want a normal life
14:12I want my life
14:13I've spent the last 15 years hating myself
14:16Because I was different
14:17I'm done with that
14:18I am what I am
14:19And I'm never gonna be ashamed of it again
14:21Not to interrupt the Meta Pride Parade
14:24So, thank you
14:24Thank you
14:24Thank you
