As the occupation settles in...
Release programs. This is general Tesler...
...Tron finds an unlikely ally.
Beck, be the next Tron.
And Beck struggles to keep his mischief a secret.
Stop! Programs!
But not everyone is a fan of Beck's alter ego.
Who do you think you are?
He's good, but he's no Tron.
This renegade Tron, whoever he is... he's causing a lot of problems.
I think we all know where this is going.
Don't like being taken against your will?
Guess what... neither do they.
Hey... I know you. From the park.
What, you don't remember me?
I'm the one who de-rezzed your friend... Cody.
I remember.
And you're never gonna hurt anyone again.
Derezz.
Aah!
S01E04 - Blackout
We need to go again.
Lets' try it in Argon square.
Loading simulation 7.
Did pretty good up until then.
Then you got de-rezzed. "Pretty good" won't cut it.
- You showed your face. - The mask gets itchy.
You let your emotions get the best of you.
Now let's go again.
I can't. Got a job, remember?
Able will kill me if I'm late.
You know, this whole "fight for freedom" thing would be easier,
if I could tell my friends what I'm doing.
All telling them will do is drag them into this fight
and put them in the crosshairs. Do you want to get them de-rezzed?
This fight isn't about you, it's about them.
Now let's go again.
- What was that? - I don't know.
But you'll find out.
You want time off?! Again?!
You know, it's only a job... if you actually do the work.
I need programs I can count on, Beck.
I'm sorry. It's a personal thing.
Hard to talk about.
Beck! You can tell me.
I... I can't.
What the...?! Oh, great.
So... about that time off.
No can do. With these blackouts I need all hands on deck.
Okay.
If... you can get someone to cover you.
Thanks! Zed just finished his shift.
I'll get him to pull a double!
Zed.
Zed?
Zed?!
So I'm in?
Oh, you're in... but you're gonna wish you weren't.
Good luck, kid.
Zed. What were you doing with those programs?
- Uh, can you keep a secret? - Yeah, I think I can handle that.
What's going on? Are you in trouble?
No, nothing like that.
It's the Argon race. It's no longer through the city.
Bartik and Hopper found some tunnels that run under the outlands.
Think you can beat those guys?
I know I can. Look what I've built.
Okay... that is pretty impressive.
I added an overdrive.
Thirty percent faster than anything anyone's used before!
- You know you're a little crazy? - So you won't tell anyone?
That you're crazy? No, that's already out there.
About the race.
Sure. But you gotta do something for me.
- Cover my shift? It's about to start. - Why can't you do your shift?
Just... don't feel like working.
- So, deal? - Hmm...
Look, will you just do it for me?
You're getting real lazy lately.
Takes practice. You're the best.
Where's he going in a blackout?
Why is the drill off?
How are we gonna mine the energy... with good intentions?
Turn it on. The mining caused a blackout downtown.
I was trying to prevent casualties.
Since when do I care if a few programs get de-rezzed?
- Yeah, since when do we care? - Now restart the drill!
Pavel, take over from here. I think you're better suited.
Wait. What?
- You've been sloppy lately. - Extremely.
I think I found the source of our blackouts.
Greed and stupidity... dangerous combination.
Uh!
If that drill goes down and hits the energy pool...
- We'll lose all our power. - Our lives.
Tesler's about to cause a massive explosion that will destroy Argon.
So we kill the drill.
What do I do, blast through those guards? Take it out?
- You wouldn't make it. - Hey.
You wouldn't. You need to enter through the tunnels.
- The tunnels? - Yes.
Plant this on the drill to cause a meltdown.
When it goes critical, make sure you're far away.
Tron, these tunnels...
the Argon race is about to start... inside them.
Then go. Now.
Stop that drill or no one will be finishing that race.
It should be here.
Or up there.
I hope you pack a punch. Huh?!
Ha ha ha ha!
The bomb!
Ah.
Paige may have tolerated your incompetence, but I won't.
Me.
That's right, you're lookin' at him... the big cheese.
The head honcho! King of the hill!
Numero uno!!!
Zed.
Welcome to the Argon race.
The only rule: There are no rules.
Programs... res' your engines.
Whoa!!!
Can I get a do-over?
Yeah.
Huh.
Oh, great.
Come on. That's all you've got?
Uh.
Aaah!
It... it was the renegade.
Oh, no. I'm too late. Think fast, Beck.
Uhh!
Three down, one to go.
You ready to go down?
Whoo-hoo!
See ya, ladies!
Ohhhh!
This race is over.
What do you care what we do?
There's a drill at the end of this tunnel with a bomb on it.
When it goes off, an inferno will rip through here.
Now go!
I don't have time to be messing with you, renegade.
So we're gonna go.
What?! What about the race?!
What do you care? You were losing anyway.
No... I wasn't.
A bomb, huh?
I'll take care of that. Thanks for the tip.
Sorry about this.
Hey! I built that, you know!
Oh! Be careful!
This drill isn't going fast enough!
Speed it up, you imbecile!
Danger.
Energy core unstable.
Please evacuate all personnel.
- Get back to work. - Sir?
If it were serious, there would have been a...
Core meltdown in 30, 29, 28...
...countdown.
You don't know what you're doing!
I'm bringing order to the Grid.
I don't think you know what you're doing.
17, 16...
Perhaps I should supervise from a safe distance.
Warm up the engines!
You hear that? If that bomb detonates
while we're still in these tunnels, we both die.
- I'm trying to save your life! - It doesn't need saving!
8, 7, 6...
5, 4, 3...
2...
Energy core overload.
Let's go!
What?
Keep going! It won't hold for long!
Your bike's not fast enough!
- Get on! - In your dreams!
- Get on. - Aaah!
I just saved your life. A thanks would be nice.
- Thanks! - Unh! Unh!
Unhh!
Really? You need that?
It's not for you!
Saved your life. Again.
- Let's just finish this. - We may not have to...
Uhh! Uhh...
See ya around.
He took Paige out in the explosion. They were both de-rezzed.
But I kept my head about me and saved our entire battalion.
Interesting.
Don't feel de-rezzed.
You're alive? I-I mean, it's a miracle!
- And renegade? - Survived too.
But I've got an idea how to handle him.
Hey. Mara told me what happened.
- How ya doin'? - I'm okay.
- Able got you workin' late? - Nah, just makin' a new bike.
Which, thanks to the renegade, is how I'm spending my free time.
He stole my old one.
I think he's just trying to make things better.
How come every time he tries to make things better, they get worse for me?
Zed, there's something I wanna tell you.
Yeah?
Word around town, you would have won the race.
Thanks.
- What's up, Zed? - What do you want?
Let me get this straight. You made this...
and the other one... from the race.
You mean the one the renegade stole? Yeah.
Um... can you make more?
What does it look like I'm doing?
I like this guy. You got attitude.
- We could use someone like you. - For what?
To stop the renegade.
I'm putting together a team to hunt him down.
Are you in?
Citizens of Argon, the nightmare is over.
The plot to sap your energy has been foiled,
and we know the culprit.
It was the work of a miscreant... who wears this profanity,
the mark of the traitor, the mark of Tron.
But fear not... Tron is dead.
And I assure you this imposter, this... this...
renegade will be brought to justice.
Never forget: We are here for you!
Yeah!
Tesler! Tesler! Tesler!
Excellent work, Paige. Any more ideas?
I have a few.
If we prevail in this conflict...
they'll understand.
