Short filmTranscript
00:09Ladies and gentlemen, the Kleinar building has just been hit by a massive explosion.
00:14It's the Wendock Bombers, a terrorist attack.
00:19Superheroes are on their way.
00:20My name is Rachel Warren.
00:22I am now a full-time housewife.
00:26I'm the secret wife of the Star Sentinel Guardian.
00:28But I have another identity.
00:31Five years ago, I gave up my position as lead researcher at National Enhanced for Him.
00:36I truly believed it would always be his priority.
00:39Until today.
00:40I told you not to call me during work hours.
00:43Star Sentinel Guardian, you're a murderer!
00:47You sacrificed dozens of civilians just to save the president!
00:51How dare you show up here!
00:53I'm here for another photo op!
00:54There's no one important in there for you to suck up to this time!
00:58These civilians don't know a damn thing lecturing me a superhero.
01:03I wouldn't even be here if it weren't for my image.
01:13Rachel?
01:18It's her.
01:23It's Brian!
01:25Help me!
01:26I'm here!
01:28Brian!
01:29What are you doing?
01:30I'm right here!
01:32Rachel, why aren't you at home?
01:34What are you doing here?
01:36I was meeting a former colleague.
01:38My leg, I think it's broken.
01:41My ribs hurt too.
01:42Please, just get me out of here first.
01:44Just hold on.
01:45Those are just minor scratches.
01:47This woman, she's Chloe, the biggest singer in America right now.
01:51If I save her, my reputation turns around.
01:54And she's unconscious.
01:55Her condition is worse than yours.
01:57Brian, I am your wife.
01:59In your heart, am I really worth less than some singer you don't even know?
02:03Rachel, how many times do I have to tell you?
02:05I'm a superhero, not just your hero.
02:07I have a responsibility to the public.
02:10As my wife, why can't you be more considerate?
02:13Why don't you ever think about what I need?
02:16Brian Warren, I swear, if you choose to save her and leave me here, we are done!
02:23You will never see me again!
02:30If you've got enough energy to whine about divorce, you're fine.
02:33The other enhancer right behind me, they'll get you out.
02:35I need this win.
02:40Brian!
02:44So this is it.
02:46I gave up everything for him.
02:49And I don't even get a goodbye.
02:59Mrs. Warren, you have three fractures, five hairline fractures, and a moderate concussion.
03:04If Nova Man hadn't gotten you here when he did, you'd have lost the leg.
03:09Nova...
03:10Man?
03:10That's right.
03:11He found you in the rubble, flew you straight here.
03:14He's back out on rescue now.
03:15You should rest.
03:17Nova Man, a stranger in a cape saved me, while my husband walked off with another woman in
03:23his arms, and never looked back.
03:27It is Chloe!
03:28Chloe, and they're so sentinel!
03:30Oh my god, they're so cute together!
03:32Brian's here?
03:38Mrs. Warren, you can't get up!
03:48Miss Chloe, are your injuries that severe?
03:51The star sentinel hasn't put you down once!
03:54Honestly, it's just a tiny scratch on my leg.
03:57But he's such a gentleman, he just can't put me down.
04:03Protecting America's sweetheart, it's the least I can do.
04:07Sentinel, Miss Chloe, after this dramatic rescue, can we expect things to develop between
04:11you two?
04:15You'd have to ask him?
04:19Chloe is a very special woman.
04:22It's an honor to protect her.
04:32Five years.
04:33I gave up everything to be with him.
04:36And for what?
04:37His ratings?
04:39He left me to die in a crumbled building.
04:41When I was lying there, body broken, he didn't even look at me.
04:46Rachel?
04:49Oh my god!
04:51What happened to you?
04:52They just left you like this?
04:56I am so sorry.
04:57If I wasn't running late to the cafe, none of this would have happened.
05:02I'll get you a regeneration serum from the agency.
05:05You'll be back on your feet in no time.
05:08Zoe, remember the NEI's Dawn Project?
05:11The female superhero program?
05:14Well, I'm in.
05:16I'll be the first.
05:19Rachel, are you crazy?
05:21The success rate on genetic reshaping is 30%.
05:23And even if you survive, Rachel warrants has to disappear.
05:27Your own husband won't even know where you went, even if he is the Star Sentinel.
05:31That's exactly what I want, Zoe.
05:36Brian will be just fine without me.
05:38I'm done with him.
05:41Rachel, what happened between you two?
05:47So if Nova Man hadn't showed up, I might never have seen you again.
05:51And just now, Chloe basically just announced she's into him in front of the press.
05:54And he didn't push back.
05:56He loved it.
05:57That son of a...
05:59Rachel, Brian Warren was a nobody before you.
06:03When he applied for the enhanced program, he was broke.
06:06Look, he came on his knees, begged me to let him into the trial.
06:11If you hadn't vouched for him, hadn't worked around the clock to stabilize his gene sequence,
06:16the trial would have failed.
06:17There wouldn't be a Star Sentinel.
06:20You gave him everything.
06:22How dare he?
06:23How could he do this to you?
06:25He told me my injuries were nothing.
06:27And he carried Chloe like she was made of glass.
06:32That tenderness, that's what I fell in love with.
06:35But now, he's giving it to someone else.
06:41Ow!
06:42Rachel, be careful.
06:44Does it hurt?
06:45We gotta go to the ER right now.
06:47Brian, it's okay.
06:48The reporters are right outside.
06:50You'll be on every front page.
06:52Let them.
06:53You matter more than any of it.
06:58You've changed.
07:00But maybe we both have.
07:03I'm setting you free, Brian.
07:06Hold whoever you want.
07:08Save whoever you want.
07:10It doesn't matter to me anymore.
07:12Zoe, I want it back.
07:14Everything I ever gave him.
07:15I can't take the powers fine.
07:18But the fame, the money, all of it, I'm taking it back.
07:23I hear you.
07:25You'll get what you want.
07:29You know the drill.
07:31Three days after you sign, the agency picks you up.
07:33A death certificate goes to your next of kin.
07:36Brian, even other enhanced won't know who you really are.
07:39Not unless you tell them.
07:41Got it.
07:42Thank you, Zoe.
07:43I'll send it back the moment it's signed.
07:55Rachel, I heard you were admitted here, too.
08:00What is that?
08:05Hospital paperwork.
08:07Why?
08:07Curious?
08:08That thick?
08:09Yeah.
08:10Three fractures, five hairline breaks, a moderate concussion.
08:13Ambulance, surgery, you're welcome to check.
08:15All right, stop being dramatic.
08:16It can't be that bad.
08:17I'm here now, aren't I?
08:18Oh, so you do remember you have a wife.
08:20I figured you and Chloe were too busy getting cozy to remember the woman you left in a burning building.
08:25Chloe is a stunt.
08:27You know my approval tanked last month.
08:28She's the biggest pop star in the country.
08:30Only she can flip the narrative.
08:32You've always backed my career.
08:33You understand, right?
08:34Understand?
08:35My husband left me to die and I should be understanding?
08:38You're fine.
08:39I told you.
08:40Those were scratches.
08:41Rescue was minutes out.
08:42Chloe was different.
08:43How is she different?
08:44Because she's famous?
08:45Because she's trendy?
08:47Because she's younger and prettier than I am?
08:48God, Rachel, stop being such a nag.
08:51I'm out there every day risking my life for this city, this country.
08:55But you, you sit at home doing nothing.
08:57Have you any idea how exhausted I am?
08:59Who do you think I'm doing this for?
09:00If I don't keep up appearances, who's going to pay for these bills?
09:03Who's going to keep a roof over your head?
09:05Let me remind you, Brian.
09:06Without the gene activation serum I designed, you wouldn't have powers.
09:09You wouldn't have any of this.
09:10So what?
09:12Stop bringing it up.
09:13You did it because you wanted to.
09:14Nobody forced you.
09:16Yeah.
09:16You're right.
09:17And now I regret it.
09:19Giving you that serum was the biggest mistake of my life.
09:27All right, enough.
09:29Speaking of the serum, has Zoe got a new batch of the booster?
09:32I'm all out.
09:33Can you call her up and get me some?
09:34His reputation.
09:35The serum.
09:37That's all he cares about.
09:39He never loved me.
09:41The day I can't supply him anymore, he'll drop me.
09:46Sentinel, what are you doing in here?
09:48I've been looking everywhere for you.
09:51Wow.
09:52She looks so drab and all banged up like that.
09:57She's not your ex, is she?
10:00She's my...
10:01Say it.
10:02Say I'm your wife.
10:04Say I'm the one waiting for you at home.
10:06The one who cooks you dinner every night.
10:07The one who irons your super suit.
10:10My acquaintance.
10:12We used to know each other.
10:16Acquaintance?
10:17Not even a friend.
10:18In front of strangers, that's all I am to you?
10:21Really?
10:22Just an acquaintance?
10:23Wow, Brian, even now you won't admit it?
10:26What's that supposed to mean?
10:27Are you two...
10:28She had a thing for me for years.
10:30I never reciprocated.
10:31She's a little obsessed.
10:33Just ignore her.
10:34Oh my god, Sentinel, you are so kind.
10:36Coming to visit a woman like that?
10:38Any other superhero would have blocked her years ago.
10:41Can you take me home?
10:42My foot really hurts.
10:44I can't walk on it.
10:45And the paparazzi are camped outside.
10:48I'll never make it on my own.
10:50Of course.
10:51Anything for America's sweetheart.
10:53Well, catch-up's over.
10:55I'm out.
11:07Brian!
11:08You hold on!
11:09Don't you forget!
11:11You promised!
11:12You make it through this, and you marry me!
11:20The power's spiking.
11:22Gene's sequence is unstable.
11:23If he can't rein it in, he'll regress.
11:25He could die.
11:27Open the door.
11:28I'm going in.
11:28What?
11:29Are you insane?
11:30He doesn't even know his own name right now.
11:32He'll kill you!
11:39He'll kill you!
11:40Brian!
11:41It's me!
11:42Wake up!
11:43Look at me!
11:48Rachel.
11:48I'm sorry.
11:50I'm so sorry.
11:51You shouldn't have come in.
11:52I-I almost killed you.
11:54It's okay.
11:55I'm not going anywhere.
11:57No matter what, we'll get through it together.
11:59I'll push through.
12:00I'll be a superhero.
12:01And then I'll marry you.
12:04I'll protect you.
12:05I'll be your shield for the rest of our lives.
12:07We're over.
12:08You didn't protect me.
12:09I don't need you to anymore.
12:11From now on, I'll be my own shield.
12:15Today is supposed to be our fifth anniversary, but Brian's probably too busy with Chloe to
12:20remember.
12:21I'm not here to celebrate anyway.
12:24I'm just going to pack what I need for the lab and say goodbye to this place for good.
12:32Mrs. Warren, you're back from the hospital already?
12:34I heard you were seriously hurt.
12:36How are you feeling?
12:37Even the housekeeper cares more than my husband.
12:39I'm all right now.
12:40What brings you in today?
12:41You usually come on the weekend.
12:43Mr. Warren called me in, said you were in the hospital.
12:47Bless him, he's lost without you, doesn't even know where the trash goes.
12:55What's this?
12:56Oh, isn't that the necklace you couldn't bring yourself to buy when you got married?
13:01Mr. Warren must have wanted to surprise you.
13:03Go on, try it on.
13:07He didn't forget our anniversary after all.
13:09He even got me a gift.
13:11Beautiful.
13:12See?
13:12I told you, Mr. Warren really adores you.
13:15He's told me a dozen times your steaks are the only ones that taste right.
13:18All right then.
13:20I'll make him a steak for our anniversary.
13:22If he handles tonight well, maybe I can ask the agency to delay the Dawn transfer.
13:29I'm headed off.
13:30He'll be thrilled to see you when he gets home.
13:37Rachel?
13:39I told you, I told you, I told you you weren't that hurt.
13:44Zoe got me a regeneration serum from the lab.
13:47Otherwise, I would have been stuck for another month.
13:49You're gone two days and the place looks like a landfill.
13:51Fridge empty.
13:53Laundry filthy.
13:54You know how miserable it is going on a mission in a dirty suit?
13:56What's that around your neck?
13:59The necklace you left on the coffee table.
14:01I didn't think you'd be so far.
14:06That's for Chloe.
14:08Who said you could touch it?
14:14For Chloe?
14:18A necklace I couldn't even bear to buy myself for our wedding and you're handing it to a woman you
14:22just met?
14:22Don't start.
14:23I told you.
14:24I'm using her to win back my approval ratings.
14:26Of course I'd send her a necklace.
14:28It's just a thank you.
14:29Stop being dramatic.
14:36Overcooked.
14:37Chloe's personal chef makes it juicy.
14:38You sit around all day doing nothing.
14:41Couldn't you learn how to cook better?
14:42You've been to her house?
14:44Yeah, so what?
14:46I told you we're friends.
14:47It's work.
14:48Can you stop reading into everything?
14:57Chloe?
14:58What's up?
14:59Sentinel, did you forget?
15:00My first national tour kicks off any minute.
15:03Where's my special guest?
15:04Of course.
15:05I'm your tour opener.
15:07Wouldn't miss it for the world.
15:08And I've got a special gift for you.
15:10Be there soon.
15:18Wait, Ryan!
15:20Stop!
15:22Do you know what today is?
15:24Does it matter?
15:25You've been hounding me since I walked in.
15:26I'm out there fighting supervillains and I come home to an interrogation.
15:30Can you just give it a rest?
15:31So you don't remember?
15:34Figures.
15:36A concert means more to you than our anniversary?
15:40Anniversary?
15:42We can celebrate any time.
15:44There's always next year.
15:46But opening Chloe's tour?
15:48That only happens once.
15:50I'm going.
15:52What am I doing?
15:53What am I doing?
15:54What was I waiting for?
15:55I should have known.
15:56I already signed the contract.
15:58Why?
15:59The second I saw that necklace, why did I let myself believe again?
16:02No, Brian.
16:03There won't be a next year or next time.
16:06There is no us anymore.
16:11What are you talking about?
16:13What do you mean, no next time?
16:15Where are you going?
16:16Got it.
16:17You're mad again.
16:19I promise.
16:20As soon as the concert's done, I'll come straight back.
16:22I'll make it up to you.
16:24Okay?
16:28Wait up for me.
16:30I won't.
16:31You've used up all your chances.
16:46Time to go.
16:48Once you finish the transfer, the agency will hand your death certificate to him.
16:52After tonight, Rachel Warren is dead.
16:56You know the drill.
16:58The pain.
16:58It tears every cell in your body apart.
17:01Then rebuilds from scratch.
17:03It's worse than childbirth.
17:05Could be ten minutes.
17:06Could be ten hours.
17:07I know.
17:08Do it.
17:14It'll hit fast.
17:16Distract yourself.
17:17Your phone, music, anything.
17:34Slow down.
17:35I can't keep up.
17:39Ryan, keep running and I'll start ignoring you.
17:55How's the view?
17:58Beautiful.
18:01Beautiful.
18:01So beautiful.
18:02From now on, you're the only one I fly with.
18:05The rest of my life, just you.
18:18Why, why, why, why, why does my heart hurt worse than all of this?
18:27Hey, my hero.
18:30Fly me back to my hotel.
18:33Stay tonight.
18:35Don't go.
18:36Don't go.
18:37I know you want me to.
18:39Chloe, not tonight.
18:40I have to go.
18:41Go?
18:42You're gonna skip my opening night after party?
18:45Ditch me?
18:46Are you serious right now?
18:47I promised someone.
18:50I have to be home tonight.
18:51I'm sorry.
18:52Brian, walk through that door and you're blocked.
19:05Rachel?
19:16What the hell?
19:17She's the one who wouldn't shut up about our anniversary and now she disappears?
19:23We're sorry, but the number you have dialed...
19:26Phone off?
19:28Rachel, what the hell are you...
19:51I am Lumina.
19:55The world's only superwoman.
19:59From this moment on, I live for myself.
20:11Rachel.
20:18This must be another one of Rachel's stunts.
20:22Where is she?
20:23Hiding somewhere?
20:24Is it just because I went to play this concert tonight, she pulls this?
20:31Dead?
20:32She thinks I'd buy that?
20:33You go back and tell her I'm not falling for it.
20:36Mr. Warren, this is not a joke.
20:39Your wife, Rachel Warren, was in a serious car accident on her way home from the hospital.
20:43The vehicle caught fire.
20:44By the time first responders arrived, the remains were severely burned.
20:49Authorities are handling the case.
20:51When she comes home, she can see for herself what she's done to the place.
20:54Disappearing on our anniversary?
20:56Staging her own death?
20:58Real mature.
21:08On our fifth anniversary?
21:10You're jealous, Rachel?
21:11Faking your own death to drag me back?
21:13Nah, no way I'll let you guilt-trick me.
21:21Brian, what are you doing?
21:23I've been waiting for ages.
21:25You promised to take me back.
21:27You bailed the second the show ended.
21:30Do you know how bad that makes me look?
21:31There were cameras everywhere.
21:34Chloe.
21:36Rachel, you want to use this against me?
21:38Fine.
21:39I'll show you.
21:40The harder you push this, the less I'm coming home.
21:44Don't cry.
21:45I'm coming to the hotel right now.
21:52Finally!
21:53So you do remember I still exist?
22:05I knew it.
22:07I knew you wouldn't leave me hanging.
22:13You have no idea how long I've wanted to be here.
22:19Hold on.
22:21Let them see.
22:24The whole city.
22:25Let them see your mind tonight.
22:35I'm your god.
22:38Brian.
22:46Rachel.
22:47Don't.
22:48The day I signed that contract, he was dead to me.
22:52But, I'll admit watching him live like that pisses me off.
22:57So what's your plan?
22:58Let's call him.
23:00The stronger the denial, the harder we sell it.
23:15Hold on.
23:16Seriously?
23:17Right now?
23:20I have to take this.
23:25It's late, Zoe.
23:26What do you want?
23:30Brian, I don't know how to tell you this.
23:33Save it, Zoe.
23:34Did Rachel put you up to this?
23:36Decent acting?
23:37Better than that mailman earlier.
23:38But sorry, I'm not falling for it.
23:40Tell her to come out and stop wasting my time, or we're done.
23:43Brian.
23:45I saw it with my own eyes.
23:47Her body burned with the car.
23:50Brian.
23:51Rachel is gone.
23:53She's really gone.
23:55What did you say?
23:57I saw her body.
23:58I confirmed it myself.
24:01Brian, the funeral is in seven days.
24:03Come and see for yourself.
24:05Come say goodbye.
24:07Throw whatever stupid funeral you want.
24:09I'm not going.
24:10Unless Rachel comes out and gets on her knees and begs me,
24:13she can stay gone for the rest of her life.
24:17Brian, who's Rachel?
24:18Have you been seeing someone behind my back?
24:27Job stuff.
24:29She worked for NEI.
24:34Don't worry about her.
24:36You and me, that's all that matters.
24:45What?
24:46You just got here and you're leaving already?
24:48Emergency call.
24:50Hospital's been hit.
24:51Every enhanced is being deployed.
24:55Duty calls.
24:57See you, babe.
25:04Downtown Central.
25:06Bomb strike.
25:06The whole building's coming down.
25:08Every active hero is being scrambled.
25:11First mission, Lumina.
25:16Good.
25:17I've been bored for five years.
25:20You need a partner.
25:21Dawn Protocol.
25:22New hero must be accompanied by an experienced one on their first.
25:28Speak of the devil.
25:31It's you.
25:33Funny how life works out.
25:35The man who pulled you from the rubble of Klein Tower
25:38is now your first partner.
25:40You're that woman?
25:42Never imagined you'd end up as the world's first enhanced woman.
25:46It's an honor to be your first partner.
25:49So, Rookie, ready to rumble?
26:02Ready.
26:02Good.
26:03First step.
26:04Lift off.
26:05Your activation just completed.
26:07We don't know how stable you are yet.
26:09Show me your flight control.
26:11Don't worry.
26:11If you lose control, I'll catch you.
26:16Easy now.
26:18Not too hard.
26:19First lift off is all about control.
26:26Did she just bust through the ceiling?
26:28Lightspeed.
26:29Incredible.
26:31Fastest superhero I've ever seen.
26:33And she just activated.
26:35Unbelievable.
26:37Rachel Warren, you really are something.
26:40Go on and show them.
26:56Your flight control?
26:58First time out and you're already that good?
27:00You sure you only activated today?
27:02I've had five years of pent-up energy.
27:04All right, back to business.
27:06Main power's blown out.
27:07ER, ICU, third floor surgery all running on backup.
27:11Backup goes down, hundreds of patients die.
27:13Your job, protect the backup generators.
27:15Whatever happens, keep those generators on.
27:18Got it.
27:19I'll go handle ER evacuations.
27:21Stay sharp.
27:35Bombers again.
27:36They pick the worst moment every time.
27:38Got to wrap this up fast.
27:41Folks, we are live at downtown General Hospital.
27:44Every active superhero has been deployed.
27:47Who is that?
27:48Is that a woman?
27:50Are we looking at the first female superhero?
27:54What?
27:55A female superhero?
28:02That figure.
28:06Rachel?
28:10No.
28:12No.
28:12No way that's Rachel.
28:13She's still throwing a tantrum, faking her death.
28:16What am I even thinking?
28:18Also, what's a woman doing trying to play hero?
28:21This isn't a game.
28:22Did you see that?
28:23Did you see that?
28:23The one that just flew over?
28:25It's a woman.
28:26Gold suit.
28:27God, she's fast.
28:28That is so cool.
28:30Finally, a woman in the cave.
28:31What's her name?
28:32What's her name?
28:33Who is she?
28:37Folks, we can now confirm an unidentified female superhero is on scene.
28:43She might be the first enhanced woman ever.
28:46This is a historic moment.
28:52Spare me the excitement.
28:53You'll find out soon enough.
28:55Saving the world is a man's job.
28:57Women just slow you down.
29:00This isn't a playground.
29:01It's a battlefield.
29:05Perfect.
29:06With this many cameras on me, I'll show them what a real superhero looks like.
29:12Found you, little rat.
29:20Found it.
29:30Who's there?
29:32Who are you?
29:33A superhero?
29:34I've never seen you.
29:36When did the NEI start sending girls out?
29:38Lumina, remember the name.
29:40Because I'll destroy every last one back.
29:47A woman?
29:49The NEI must be desperate.
29:51What's wrong with being a woman?
29:53Women belong in the kitchen.
29:54But you?
29:55Wearing that tight suit playing superhero?
29:58Sweetheart, you're in the wrong place.
30:00We'll see about that.
30:06And here I thought you had something.
30:13Trying to protect those generators?
30:15Let's see how long you can keep it up!
30:18Don't celebrate just yet.
30:20I'm not done.
30:29You're strong.
30:31But you've already lost.
30:34My claws were coated in Wendugo neurotoxin.
30:38The harder you fight, the faster it spreads.
30:42You can't even lift your hand, can you?
30:48Told you.
30:49Girls shouldn't play superhero.
30:51You coward.
30:54Poison!
30:55This is war.
30:56Anything goes.
30:57Should have stayed home and cooked dinner.
31:00No!
31:04Your fight is with me!
31:06Nova man?
31:14Brian?
31:15Why is he here?
31:16He can't see who I am, can he?
31:20It's her.
31:21The female superhero.
31:23Already on the floor.
31:25Can't even handle this much.
31:27Like I said, this is a man's job.
31:30Step aside, ma'am.
31:31Leave the fighting to the Star Centennial.
31:33Ugh, that prick.
31:35Acting like he's the second coming.
31:38Whatever.
31:39Mission first.
31:41Don't pick a fight with him now.
31:42Star Centennial, listen to me.
31:44The backup generators are behind him.
31:47The OR and the ICU are running off it.
31:48Hit him all you want, just don't touch the generators.
31:52Stay out of my way, rookie.
32:02Did you hear me?
32:04The generators!
32:06Protect the generators!
32:07Get out of the way!
32:09This is a fight, not a repair job.
32:11God damn it!
32:13Always in the way!
32:21Move!
32:39Stop the generators!
32:42Star Centennial.
32:49Beautiful work, Star-Centiner.
32:52That punch did more for me than my whole tail.
32:55You...
32:56You absolute idiot!
33:04Generators are toast.
33:05Star-Center, much obliged.
33:07Without that punch of yours, I couldn't have brought down the entire systems.
33:15Ha-ha! Star-Centiner, you smashed the generators yourself!
33:20Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
33:22Every soul in that ER will die because of you!
33:25The Wendogs, thank you!
33:27What did he say?
33:28The Star-Centiner destroyed the generators?
33:30Folks, you heard it.
33:32A Wendigo member just claimed that the backup generators were destroyed by the Star-Centiner himself.
33:38Every critical patient in this hospital will die.
33:52What's happening? The power's out!
33:55Nurse! Nurse!
33:56My dad's ventilator stopped! His ventilator stopped beeping!
33:59What happened to the generator?
34:02Generators are gone.
34:03Lumina, she's in trouble!
34:05You. I told you to get out of the way.
34:08If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have hit those generators.
34:12Do you have any idea how many people are gonna die tonight because of you?
34:15How the hell are you gonna make this right?!
34:22You... you're...
34:29Good thing I came prepared.
34:32Excuse me.
34:33Get your hands off me.
34:35Those eyes.
34:37Why... why do they look so familiar?
34:39Don't pin this on me.
34:40I told you to watch out.
34:42Hundreds of lives are on the line.
34:44Do you...
34:57Useless woman.
34:58More trouble than she's worth.
35:00Good riddice.
35:06No.
35:07Nova-Man.
35:08Lumina, are you okay?
35:09That enhanced.
35:11He poisoned me.
35:12I can't move.
35:13Star Center.
35:14You're supposed to be a superhero.
35:16But when an explosion hits, you shield yourself.
35:19Did you forget what the cape's for?
35:24Here.
35:25Fast-acting antidote.
35:27Get it down.
35:30Emergency power's en route.
35:33But the ER patients...
35:34Patients can't wait that long.
35:36Can you convert your light into electrical current?
35:39Your light is energy.
35:41It should be possible, in theory.
35:42But I can't promise.
35:45I'll try.
35:46If it means there's a chance they'll live, I'll do it.
36:09Power's back.
36:10Power's back!
36:12Continue.
36:13Cardiac suture.
36:14Second strand.
36:15Ready.
36:19It's the hero woman.
36:21She's powering it.
36:22She saved everyone.
36:24She's the real hero.
36:25She fixed what the star surrendered wrecked.
36:27He's a freaking joke.
36:30Citizens, I have the situation under control.
36:33Please.
36:33Under control?
36:34The lizard guy said it himself.
36:36You're the one who smashed the generators.
36:37Yeah!
36:37He's right!
36:40Yeah!
36:41You always screw everything up and make someone else fix it.
36:43She saved your ass.
36:44If you can't do it, step aside.
36:47Folks, Star Centiel has just emerged from the generator building and is now in the plaza.
36:51As you can see, the public reception is hostile.
36:55I get it.
36:56You're angry.
36:57But I'm a superhero.
37:00My duty is to protect this city.
37:02Protect what?
37:03Tell us, what did you protect tonight?
37:09You almost killed hundreds of people.
37:11If those two heroes hadn't covered for you, who knows what could have happened?
37:14Some sentinel you are.
37:15You're just a fraud.
37:16Go home.
37:17Fraud!
37:18Fraud!
37:19Fraud!
37:19Shut all of you, you ignorant fools!
37:22What could you possibly understand?
37:27Everyone, please.
37:28The situation is contained.
37:30Emergency power is back on.
37:32The hospital is stable.
37:33You're safe.
37:35Yes!
37:35You're our hero!
37:36Our superhero is here!
37:38No!
37:40Superhero?
37:41You mean...
37:41Me?
37:43Miss, are you a new enhanced?
37:44Are you the first female superhero?
37:46What's your name?
37:48Just call me Lumena.
37:51Who we are?
37:52Who we are?
37:53Who we are?
37:54Female superhero?
37:56Yeah, right.
37:58She steals my credit, rides my coattails.
38:01Oh, sweetheart.
38:03This isn't over.
38:09One story has taken over the country today, folks.
38:11Who is she?
38:12Last night, in the rescue mission at Downtown General, an undenified enhanced woman made her
38:18debut.
38:19Her codename?
38:20Lumena!
38:21For ten years, this field has been dominated by men.
38:25With Lumena, that changes.
38:27She's proving everyone wrong.
38:30Finally, it's time for Superwomen 2.
38:35Superwoman?
38:36She just gets all the credit?
38:38I'm the one who hit that lizard.
38:41I'm America's protector.
38:43She just stole my moment.
38:50And you, faking your death?
38:53Bunch of ungrateful backstabbers.
38:55Enjoy it while it lasts.
38:57She'll slip eventually.
38:59And when she does, they'll remember who the real hero is.
39:03They'll come crawling back to me!
39:06Star Sentinel, after last night's incident at Downtown General, the committee has decided
39:11to sanction you for gross misconduct.
39:13What?
39:14What did I do?
39:15On what grounds, Zoe?
39:18You will be suspended for one month, during which you will not take any missions or appear
39:23in public in the Star Surventil uniform, nor use any superpowers.
39:27Return your uniform and equipment to HQ in 24 hours.
39:31Suspended?
39:32I save people every day.
39:34Without me, this country falls apart!
39:36Two.
39:37Before the suspension lifts, you must publish a written public apology through official channels.
39:41Three.
39:42All public appearances are temporarily prohibited during your suspension.
39:46On what grounds?
39:48I said it before, I did nothing wrong!
39:50Save it.
39:51The decision is final.
39:55Oh, one more thing.
39:57Rachel's funeral is in three days.
39:59It will be at HQ.
40:01All enhanced are required to attend.
40:03Skip, and you'll get worse sanctions.
40:05The NEI is hosting her funeral?
40:09You don't mean Rachel really...
40:13Enough, Zoe.
40:15You and Rachel having fun with this?
40:18Dragging NEI into your little stunt?
40:23They won't play along.
40:24I'm not playing, Brian.
40:26Dr. Rachel Warren wasn't just an NEI researcher.
40:28She was the most important one we had.
40:30At the funeral, the company will publicly disclose her identity.
40:34As the founder of our gene activation serum,
40:37every enhanced will be there to honor her.
40:40Founder?
40:40Rachel built the serum, sure.
40:43But she left the company five years ago.
40:45No way the agency is going to go that far for her now.
40:48We'll see.
40:49Funerals in three days.
40:51Show up.
40:52Decide for yourself.
40:56Fine.
40:58Three days, I'll go and expose your stupid game.
41:04That asshole!
41:06I hate him!
41:09Don't bother getting angry over him.
41:12How can I not?
41:14Listen to him.
41:15He still thinks this is all some prank!
41:20He's paving his own downfall.
41:22Whether he shows up to the funeral or not,
41:25I'm done holding back.
41:26Every superhero and reporter is going to find out
41:29about his secret marriage and affair.
41:32His reputation is about to go up in flames.
41:36Come pay your respects
41:37to the wife you destroyed.
41:44I'm sorry, Lumina.
41:46You went through hell.
41:47Am I being too cruel?
41:50Faking my own death?
41:51Ditching my husband?
41:53Orchestrating his public downfall?
41:55Most people would call me heartless.
41:57Lumina,
41:58I pulled you out of that rubble.
42:00He left you to die.
42:01There is nothing too cruel for someone like that.
42:06So I'm doing the right thing?
42:08Your only mistake was waiting five whole years.
42:10I'd have walked on day one.
42:14Thanks, Nova Man.
42:15For what?
42:16I'm your partner.
42:17I've got your back.
42:19And I'm an Enhanced too.
42:22I owe you.
42:23Without you, Dr. Warren,
42:25there wouldn't be a Nova Man.
42:26Let me reintroduce myself.
42:28Jackson Reed.
42:29Reporter,
42:30Metro Daily.
42:31Three years ago,
42:31I went to cover the Enhanced program,
42:32but ended up in the headlines myself.
42:34Rachel Warrant,
42:35former lead researcher
42:36for National Enhanced Initiative.
42:38Five years ago,
42:38I gave up everything for a man.
42:40Now I'm taking it all back.
42:43Nova Man really is a step up
42:45from that arrogant narcissist.
42:46Is that love I see?
42:51What did you say?
42:54Nothing.
43:05It's already five minutes past.
43:06Why haven't we started yet?
43:07Heard we're still waiting on a key person.
43:09But the CEO's here.
43:11Who could be more important than that?
43:13All right.
43:14Book the Memorial Hall.
43:15Nice.
43:15Now bring Rachel out, Zoe.
43:19Ice braid?
43:22Firewing?
43:24And the director of the NEI?
43:27You're all here?
43:29Wait.
43:31Wait, this...
43:32This is real?
43:35Brian,
43:36late to a funeral,
43:38and in your uniform,
43:39you're on suspension.
43:40Wow.
43:41Impressive.
43:43Truly.
43:44You got all the executives,
43:45heroes,
43:45and even the press?
43:47So what's the plan
43:48when Rachel suddenly comes back to life, huh?
43:50Brian.
43:51Rachel is dead.
43:52She's not coming back.
43:54You're standing in front of her casket.
43:56Can you just show some respect?
43:59Zoe,
44:00your acting's really getting better and better.
44:03Hear that, Firewing?
44:04I know Rachel put you all up to this.
44:06And I'll admit,
44:07I almost bought it.
44:09You win.
44:10Okay?
44:11Now bring Rachel out.
44:12Game's over.
44:14Brian, that really isn't funny.
44:15What is wrong with you?
44:16Bro,
44:17I'm telling you,
44:18don't fall for their pathetic little act.
44:20Rachel can't be dead.
44:21I know this is a sham funeral.
44:23The casket,
44:24the hall,
44:25all theater.
44:27Since the star sent Telner
44:28is so sure this is fake,
44:30let's just open the casket.
44:32See for ourselves.
44:34What do you say,
44:35Santelner?
44:37Now that is an idea I can get behind.
44:43Then I'll just open it,
44:44right, Zoe?
44:48Time to end your games.
44:52Nice prop.
44:55No, no,
44:57no,
44:57that body,
44:58that's Rachel?
45:00Now do you believe us?
45:04No,
45:05I don't.
45:07You probably grabbed some crash,
45:09Dommy,
45:09it's all makeup.
45:10How could anyone tell what that is?
45:12Where's Rachel?
45:13Bring her out.
45:14This isn't funny anymore.
45:16Brian,
45:16if you can't recognize Rachel,
45:18maybe you'll recognize this.
45:23Rachel,
45:24that's Rachel's wedding ring.
45:25It's really,
45:26it's really her.
45:29Rachel Warren,
45:31I survived.
45:33Will you marry me?
45:35I'll protect you
45:36for the rest of my life.
45:52Rachel!
45:56Wake up!
45:58Wake up!
45:59How could you die?
46:01How,
46:02how dare you?
46:03How dare you leave me?
46:07How could you,
46:08how could you die?
46:10Brian,
46:11how little did I matter
46:13that this is what it took
46:15for you to finally regret?
46:24I'm okay.
46:26What's up with the Sentinel?
46:28A second ago,
46:29he was going on
46:29about how Rachel and Zoe
46:31were teaming up to prank him,
46:32and now he's a wreck?
46:33The second he saw the ring,
46:35he lost it.
46:36What kind of colleague
46:38falls to his knees
46:39sobbing at a funeral?
46:43Do you think they
46:44were secretly married?
46:50Star Center.
46:52Last chance.
46:53Are you going to say it,
46:55or am I?
46:55Say it?
46:56Tell them I was secretly married
46:58to Rachel for five years?
46:59Tell them I went to
47:00Chloe's tour opener
47:01on our anniversary night
47:02and flew her around
47:03in my arms,
47:04in front of every camera
47:05in America?
47:06If I say it,
47:07I'm finished.
47:08I'll lose everything.
47:10Rachel.
47:12Rachel was just a researcher
47:14who worked with me
47:14during my activation.
47:17My...
47:18close friend.
47:24If you won't tell the truth,
47:26Sentinel,
47:26I will.
47:28Zoe!
47:29Nova man!
47:30What the hell, man?
47:32And Zoe,
47:32shut up!
47:33Ladies and gentlemen,
47:36I'm here to speak
47:37for Dr. Rachel Warren.
47:40But first,
47:43there's something
47:44the Star Siltiner
47:45won't admit.
47:46So I'll say it.
47:48Rachel Warren
47:49calibrated the gene sequence
47:51that turned the Star Center
47:52into a superhero.
47:53But for five years after,
47:55she was also married
47:57to the Star Center,
47:58Brian Warren!
48:01Star Sentinel
48:02was secretly married
48:04for five years?
48:05And his wife's body
48:06is in that casket?
48:07Then he and Chloe
48:08are having an affair?
48:10The wedding
48:10was never made public.
48:11He erased her
48:13from every NEI project.
48:15He turned a leading
48:16researcher
48:17into a housewife.
48:18She gave him
48:21every anything.
48:22So it was
48:23Rachel Warren's research
48:24that built every superhero
48:25in this country
48:26and her own husband
48:27erased her from the record?
48:28Three nights ago,
48:29on their wedding anniversary,
48:32he went to Chloe's concert,
48:34kept his arms around her
48:35the whole night.
48:36Rachel saw,
48:37went for a drive
48:38to clear her head.
48:39Then,
48:39the accident.
48:40she burned alive
48:42in that car.
48:43And he was denying
48:44her death?
48:45I fought beside him
48:46for years.
48:47Never once
48:48did he mention a wife.
48:49Not on once!
48:50Of course he wouldn't.
48:52How else could he stay
48:53America's most eligible
48:54bachelor?
49:00It's over.
49:01Everything I had
49:04is finished.
49:06Shut up!
49:07Fine.
49:08I'll admit it.
49:09Rachel and I, yes.
49:10We were married
49:11for five years,
49:13secretly.
49:13But so what?
49:15I'm a superhero!
49:16I protect this country!
49:18I sacrifice!
49:19Protecting the country?
49:21You didn't even know
49:22when your own wife died.
49:23That was an accident!
49:24How is that on me?
49:26And as for Chloe,
49:27that was just for show.
49:29I needed her to fix
49:30my approval ratings.
49:31She needed me
49:31as a bodyguard.
49:32That's it.
49:33Nothing happened.
49:33Nothing?
49:34You held her in your arms
49:36and flew her around
49:37the stadium
49:38for ten minutes
49:40on her opening night.
49:41The whole internet
49:42was watching.
49:44Nothing happened?
49:46That was theater!
49:47You don't know
49:48a damn thing!
49:49Rachel drove off
49:50on her own
49:51and crashed.
49:52How is that my fault?
49:54What did you say?
49:55She was Rachel Warren,
49:56founder of the
49:57Gene Activation Serum.
49:58She carried a hundred times
50:00the pressure you ever did.
50:02I used to think
50:03you had some distance
50:04for me.
50:04Brian Warren,
50:05you don't deserve
50:07to be here.
50:08Or say her name.
50:10You don't deserve
50:11to stand here
50:12in front of her closet.
50:15Fine, I'll go!
50:19Brian, how does it feel
50:20to be hated by everyone?
50:23Abandoned by the world?
50:25Sound familiar?
50:29Rachel, how could you die?
50:32How could you actually die?
50:35If you're dead,
50:36who's gonna iron my super suit?
50:38Or cooks me steak?
50:39Who's gonna wait
50:40at home for me?
50:41Rachel, do you hear me?
50:43Shit.
50:52Chloe?
50:52What are you...
50:53What are you...
50:58Is what they said
50:59on the news true?
51:02You're gonna leave me too,
51:03aren't you?
51:05Everything they're saying
51:06is true.
51:07I'm the asshole
51:08who abandoned his wife
51:09for fame.
51:10Go announce whatever
51:10to save yourself.
51:12Just leave.
51:16I don't care.
51:17I don't care
51:18what somebody says.
51:19I don't care
51:19what anybody says.
51:21So you were married,
51:22so what?
51:23Your wife is dead.
51:25Dead.
51:26There's nothing
51:27in our way anymore.
51:28We can be together.
51:29Out in the open.
51:31You hear me?
51:31Out in the open.
51:35Chloe,
51:36do you hear yourself?
51:37The whole country
51:38is screaming at me.
51:40Being with me
51:41makes you public
51:42and you're number one.
51:43I don't care.
51:43I just want you
51:44to want me.
51:45That's enough.
51:58No.
51:59I can't.
52:01Not in the house
52:01Rachel lived in.
52:02It's okay, Brian.
52:03I can wait.
52:04Chloe,
52:05thank you.
52:06I thought everyone
52:06had walked away.
52:07I thought you would too.
52:09I never thought
52:09why you drove this far
52:10for me.
52:11Does it hurt?
52:16No.
52:19You've been through
52:20so much, Brian.
52:21I'm here now.
52:22Sleep.
52:30Took you long enough.
52:31Ugh.
52:31The sacrifices I make.
52:44With this,
52:45I'll be able to open
52:47every top secret lab
52:48in the NEI.
52:49Thanks, Sentinel,
52:51for thinking with your dick.
52:58Shame your research,
52:59your wife is dead.
53:02Wendell could have gotten
53:03a lot out of here.
53:05Goodbye, Sentinel.
53:06You're no longer needed.
53:20Chloe?
53:21She's probably got work.
53:22She's the biggest pop star
53:23in the country.
53:24Yeah.
53:24Of course she is.
53:26Brian,
53:27get it together.
53:29For her.
53:31Emergency.
53:32All enhanced report
53:32to HQ.
53:33Headquarters is under attack.
53:35This is not a drill.
53:36The NEI headquarters
53:37are under attack?
53:44Movement near
53:45the basement labs.
53:46Who's down there?
53:53Iris verification required.
53:58Iris verified.
53:59Star Sentinel.
54:00Top level access granted.
54:02Perfect.
54:04The NEI's most classified,
54:06all in here.
54:07There you are.
54:09Finally,
54:10with the NEI's
54:11gene activation serum,
54:13I can become
54:13an enhanced two.
54:24LUMINON!
54:26LUMINON!
54:27you're part of Wendigo?
54:30Grab her.
54:43You're in Wendigo,
54:45but you were hurt
54:45in the rubble that day.
54:47Did Wendigo turn you
54:48because you got
54:48close to the Sentinel?
54:50You're sharp,
54:52but wrong order.
54:53I marked him first.
54:55Wendigo's first assignment
54:56for me
54:57was him.
54:58An egotistic
54:59Gnosticist,
55:00probably the easiest
55:02superhero in the world
55:02to play.
55:03Want to know
55:04what we call him
55:04in-house?
55:05The Gap.
55:06That blast.
55:07That was your people.
55:09The whole thing
55:10was a setup.
55:12Without a near-death
55:13meat crush,
55:14how would the Sentinel
55:15get to play hero?
55:16Even yesterday,
55:17played that idiot
55:18like a fiddle.
55:19Got his irie scan,
55:20strolled in.
55:21Wendani's been building
55:22up to this for years.
55:25Now we finally cash in.
55:31If I'd known
55:32all those years ago
55:33I never
55:34should have
55:35fought!
55:36And now you've
55:37shown the world
55:37that women can
55:38survive gene activation.
55:40So I'll take your serum
55:42and take Wendigo's
55:43top seat.
55:44No matter how
55:45brilliant you are,
55:48you'll never beat me.
55:52We'll see about that.
56:05Star Sentinel here!
56:06Stand down
56:07or I won't go easy!
56:10Help me!
56:11I was on a shoot!
56:12Lumina dragged me here,
56:13said I'd seduce you,
56:14said she was
56:14avenging Rachel!
56:15Star Sentinel,
56:16please,
56:17save me!
56:20Don't believe her!
56:21She's part of Wendigo!
56:23Last night she stole
56:24your iris!
56:25The door to this
56:25whole lab opened
56:27on your retinal!
56:28Open your goddamn eyes!
56:29She's still acting!
56:31Sentinel,
56:32you said you'd
56:33protect me!
56:34You said!
56:37Lumina,
56:38you dragged
56:39a civilian into combat
56:40and you call
56:41yourself a hero?
56:42Brian Warren,
56:43you absolute idiot!
56:45How are you
56:46still falling for it?
56:50Sentinel,
56:52I just heard them,
56:52they're after
56:53the serum Lumina.
56:55She's protecting it.
56:56If you take it,
56:57she can fight
56:57without holding back.
56:58She wasn't kind to me,
57:00but humanity needs you.
57:01Help her.
57:04No!
57:05Star Sentinel!
57:07Star Sentinel!
57:10You're much kinder
57:11than she ever was.
57:14No!
57:16No!
57:17No!
57:17No!
57:17No!
57:17No!
57:17No!
57:21Finally!
57:25Sentinel!
57:26What the fuck are you?
57:28Chloe!
57:29Catch!
57:29Get to cover!
57:34Serum's safe.
57:35Let's finish them together.
57:36Did you not hear a single word I just said? Did laser vision finally fry your brain?
57:40You just handed the serum to the enemy, you absolute fucking moron!
57:44Can't you just set aside your differences and work together?
57:50Thank you. Truly, Brian. Without you, I wasn't getting this visal.
57:57Chloe, what are you saying?
58:00Give me that visal!
58:08Chloe, get down! They're terrorists! This is dangerous!
58:13Sentinel, are you still not getting it?
58:16I know your best quality. Sheer stupidy!
58:22Once you decide something, you won't listen to anyone.
58:28Soon, I'll be the next enhanced woman.
58:34I'll superpass, Lumna. Become Wendigo's strongest weapon to exterminate you all!
58:41You're part of Wendigo?
58:43And it took you this long to figure it out? Dumbass.
58:49The serum.
58:50She stayed by my side this whole time, waiting for me to drop my guard to hit HQ.
58:57I'll be the last one.
58:58Ryan!
58:59You absolute idiot! You destroyed everything!
59:06You...
59:09Rachel...
59:11You...
59:12You're alive!
59:14You... You are Lumna!
59:15You... You are Lumna!
59:16You are Lumna!
