Why play billionaire playboy,

00:00:08,842 --> 00:00:09,843
alcoholic industrialist,

4
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:11,745
or a mild-mannered
something-or-other

5
00:00:11,812 --> 00:00:14,282
when you can be a 24/7
champion of goodness?

NEWS ANCHOR: Cat-Man-Dude,
Hoboken's half-man,

7
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:19,553
half-cheetah superhero,
was arrested by police today

8
00:00:19,620 --> 00:00:23,424
for a series of maulings
outside a local YWCA.

9
00:00:23,491 --> 00:00:25,793
-MAN: Cat-Man, what happened
out there? -Listen to me.

10
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:27,061
Those people weren't mauled.

11
00:00:27,128 --> 00:00:28,696
They were mangled.

12
00:00:28,762 --> 00:00:31,399
I'm being framed by The Mangler!

00:00:31,465 --> 00:00:32,933
NEWS ANCHOR:
Another shocking development

14
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:34,202
in the Cat-Man-Dude case.

15
00:00:34,268 --> 00:00:35,469
In an unprecedented move,

16
00:00:35,536 --> 00:00:36,704
the district attorney's office

17
00:00:36,770 --> 00:00:38,639
has unmasked
the jailed superhero,

18
00:00:38,706 --> 00:00:42,510
revealing his true identity
as Mads "Murph" Murphy,

19
00:00:42,576 --> 00:00:45,346
a local dairy farmer
and owner of a sanctuary

20
00:00:45,413 --> 00:00:47,315
for retired circus animals.

21
00:00:47,381 --> 00:00:49,049
DETECTIVE GREEN: After the
papers printed his real name

22
00:00:49,117 --> 00:00:50,384
and photo,
The Terror's goons broke into

23
00:00:50,451 --> 00:00:51,885
Cat-Man-Murphy's compound,

24
00:00:51,952 --> 00:00:55,789
executed his puma wife and
their litter of child-kittens.

25
00:00:55,856 --> 00:00:58,292
-That's messed up.
-On a bunch of levels.

26
00:00:58,359 --> 00:01:00,027
So the Feds enacted
the 28th Amendment.

27
00:01:00,094 --> 00:01:02,730
Prohibits law enforcement from
exposing a super's identity,

28
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:04,498
or place of residence.

29
00:01:04,565 --> 00:01:06,367
Also means a lot of paperwork.

30
00:01:06,434 --> 00:01:08,469
You sure you want
to go down this road?

31
00:01:09,637 --> 00:01:12,740
-Tell us again what happened.
-Uh...

32
00:01:14,007 --> 00:01:15,609
(men grunting)

33
00:01:15,676 --> 00:01:20,047
It was like he was looking for
some place to keep his knife,

34
00:01:20,114 --> 00:01:22,516
and no place was good enough.

35
00:01:23,484 --> 00:01:24,852
This was the guy in black,

36
00:01:24,918 --> 00:01:26,620
the "robo-ninja," you said.

37
00:01:26,687 --> 00:01:29,290
No. I said that he was a
highly-skilled,

38
00:01:29,357 --> 00:01:31,825
tech-based stealth assassin
with a metal face

39
00:01:31,892 --> 00:01:33,527
and superhuman reflexes.

40
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:36,297
Okay. Well, I already wrote down
"robo-ninja."

41
00:01:36,364 --> 00:01:38,132
Look, only a superhero
can request protection

42
00:01:38,199 --> 00:01:40,100
under the 28th;
we don't have any of those here.

43
00:01:40,168 --> 00:01:41,669
Okay. Well, I am one,

44
00:01:41,735 --> 00:01:43,837
so, you know,
you can't unmask me.

45
00:01:43,904 --> 00:01:45,806
-What's your name?
-Arthur.

46
00:01:47,208 --> 00:01:48,676
Your superhero name is Arthur?

47
00:01:49,877 --> 00:01:52,313
Y-Yeah, yes.

48
00:01:52,380 --> 00:01:54,748
Yes.
My superhero name is Arthur,

49
00:01:54,815 --> 00:01:57,718
which is-- that is different
from my actual name.

50
00:01:57,785 --> 00:01:58,886
Registration number?

51
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,589
Your number with AEGIS.

52
00:02:01,655 --> 00:02:03,857
My number, my number with AEGIS.
Right, yeah, uh...

53
00:02:03,924 --> 00:02:05,426
It's, um, uh-- I'm sorry,

54
00:02:05,493 --> 00:02:07,761
I just haven't been carded
in so long. Uh, nine.

55
00:02:07,828 --> 00:02:10,164
(Arthur sniffs)

56
00:02:11,199 --> 00:02:13,334
Uh, o-one. Nine-one.

57
00:02:14,835 --> 00:02:16,570
S-Seven...

58
00:02:16,637 --> 00:02:18,339
uh, teen.

59
00:02:18,406 --> 00:02:20,274
Something you two need to see.

60
00:02:25,045 --> 00:02:26,547
(door closes)

61
00:02:26,614 --> 00:02:29,183
Security camera picked this up
just before units arrived.

62
00:02:29,250 --> 00:02:30,384
DETECTIVE GREEN:
Holy hell. Is that... ?

63
00:02:30,451 --> 00:02:31,719
DETECTIVE WHITE:
Overkill.

64
00:02:31,785 --> 00:02:33,321
Looks like the little guy
is telling the truth.

65
00:02:33,387 --> 00:02:34,755
I'm gonna cut him loose.

66
00:02:34,822 --> 00:02:36,424
You don't want to check him out
with AEGIS first?

67
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:38,158
That agency's
a bureaucratic black hole.

68
00:02:38,226 --> 00:02:39,693
Could be weeks
before we hear back.

69
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,762
Let's get a photo for the
database, then kick him.

70
00:02:41,829 --> 00:02:44,598
We got bigger problems
if Overkill's in town.

71
00:02:44,665 --> 00:02:46,300
-(gate closes) -Wait.
Overkill? That was Overkill?

72
00:02:46,367 --> 00:02:48,602
(camera snaps)

It's Overkill. It's Overkill.

75
00:03:21,702 --> 00:03:23,971
Overkill.

76
00:03:25,406 --> 00:03:26,840
(heavy thud on pavement)

77
00:03:26,907 --> 00:03:28,242
TICK:
Arthur.

78
00:03:28,309 --> 00:03:29,477
How we doing?

79
00:03:29,543 --> 00:03:31,612
Settling into
the whole destiny thing?

80
00:03:31,679 --> 00:03:34,147
I thought I might give you
a helpful hint or two--

81
00:03:34,214 --> 00:03:35,783
guidelines, really.

82
00:03:35,849 --> 00:03:38,452
-Uh, mainly about
all the stabbing. -What?

83
00:03:38,519 --> 00:03:41,955
Look. I saw what you left
of your attackers

84
00:03:42,022 --> 00:03:45,793
back in that alley, and, uh,
I have to say,

85
00:03:45,859 --> 00:03:50,030
I found your approach a little
bit on the murdery side.

86
00:03:50,097 --> 00:03:52,666
I didn't kill those men, Tick.

87
00:03:52,733 --> 00:03:55,102
Whew. I am so glad
to hear you say that.

88
00:03:55,168 --> 00:03:59,307
I was afraid we were gonna
have to have "the talk."

89
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:01,542
-That was Overkill.
-My thought exactly.

90
00:04:01,609 --> 00:04:03,644
No. I'm saying it was
this guy called Overkill.

91
00:04:03,711 --> 00:04:05,779
He was an agent for AEGIS.

92
00:04:05,846 --> 00:04:07,581
He spent years
in classified war zones

93
00:04:07,648 --> 00:04:09,783
as some kind of
government-trained assassin.

94
00:04:09,850 --> 00:04:11,552
They say he had
a psychotic break

95
00:04:11,619 --> 00:04:14,888
and just... went rogue.

96
00:04:16,223 --> 00:04:17,791
I'm lucky to be alive.

97
00:04:17,858 --> 00:04:20,328
That's the unmistakable rush
one feels

98
00:04:20,394 --> 00:04:22,630
just before embarking
on a manhunt.

99
00:04:22,696 --> 00:04:24,064
-Manhunt?
-Yes, man!

100
00:04:24,131 --> 00:04:25,966
Hunt! Let us hunker down

101
00:04:26,033 --> 00:04:29,269
over the spore of this
walking bloodbath

102
00:04:29,337 --> 00:04:31,605
-before the trail goes cold.
-Okay, Tick.

103
00:04:31,672 --> 00:04:34,308
I'm gonna go upstairs
and I'm gonna go to bed,

104
00:04:34,375 --> 00:04:36,444
because I have work
in the morning, okay?

105
00:04:36,510 --> 00:04:38,011
Fair enough.

106
00:04:38,078 --> 00:04:39,580
Wise not to stalk your prey

107
00:04:39,647 --> 00:04:41,549
-bereft of rested mind.
-No, I mean,

108
00:04:41,615 --> 00:04:44,117
I mean, I have, like, real work.
You know, my job?

109
00:04:44,184 --> 00:04:48,055
At my office. I-I work at
Fishladder & Sons Accounting.

110
00:04:48,121 --> 00:04:49,256
I promised my sister I would go,

111
00:04:49,323 --> 00:04:50,824
and she's picking me up
in the morning.

112
00:04:50,891 --> 00:04:53,727
Wait a sec. Is this one of those
secret identity deals?

113
00:04:53,794 --> 00:04:55,496
'Cause I have opinions on those.

114
00:04:55,563 --> 00:04:58,065
No, it's-it's my only identity,
okay?

115
00:04:58,131 --> 00:05:00,534
I'm-I'm done. I'm done trying
to convince the world

116
00:05:00,601 --> 00:05:02,002
that The Terror is still alive.

117
00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:04,004
I just want my life
to go back to normal.

118
00:05:04,071 --> 00:05:05,673
The longer I wear this suit,

119
00:05:05,739 --> 00:05:07,341
it just makes me a target

120
00:05:07,408 --> 00:05:08,876
and same for everyone else
I care about.

121
00:05:08,942 --> 00:05:11,812
That suit is the key to
unlocking the true Arthur.

122
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:13,781
Destiny bestowed it on you
for a reason.

123
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:16,950
Well, uh, you and-and Destiny
are not allowed in.

124
00:05:17,017 --> 00:05:18,586
You want me
to use the fire escape?

125
00:05:18,652 --> 00:05:21,722
No. I-I just, I want you
to leave me alone.

126
00:05:21,789 --> 00:05:24,758
Please. Just...

127
00:05:28,562 --> 00:05:30,964
(door closes)

128
00:05:31,031 --> 00:05:32,966
* *

129
00:05:42,142 --> 00:05:44,344
(door creaks)

130
00:05:47,948 --> 00:05:50,017
Hello?
Is there anyone here

131
00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:52,620
trying to kill me?

132
00:05:58,158 --> 00:06:00,628
(exhales deeply)

133
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,536
* *

134
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,643
(sighs)

135
00:06:15,709 --> 00:06:17,578
Wait. Stop, stop, stop.

136
00:06:17,645 --> 00:06:19,346
Look, I'll just
give you the suit back

137
00:06:19,413 --> 00:06:21,314
and we can pretend this whole
thing never happened, okay?

138
00:06:21,381 --> 00:06:22,750
This business on your wall.

139
00:06:22,816 --> 00:06:24,718
You had a 16-year-old
news clipping

140
00:06:24,785 --> 00:06:26,319
about a lab explosion.

141
00:06:26,386 --> 00:06:29,823
And you're trying to link it
to this new one in Urmania.

142
00:06:29,890 --> 00:06:31,058
Why?

143
00:06:31,124 --> 00:06:32,993
I think you know the answer
to that question.

144
00:06:33,060 --> 00:06:34,962
If I knew the answer,
I wouldn't be asking.

145
00:06:35,028 --> 00:06:36,664
-Well, unless you were trying to
toy with me. -(electrical zaps)

146
00:06:36,730 --> 00:06:38,699
Okay. It's The Terror.

147
00:06:38,766 --> 00:06:41,068
It's The Terror,
he's behind it and others.

148
00:06:42,770 --> 00:06:45,138
Where'd you get that from?

149
00:06:45,205 --> 00:06:46,774
Same M.O.

150
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:49,977
Experimental weaponry disappears
from laboratories, transports.

151
00:06:50,043 --> 00:06:52,780
Scientists get killed
in explosions.

152
00:06:52,846 --> 00:06:54,081
(mutters)

153
00:06:54,147 --> 00:06:55,348
The Terror's dead.

154
00:06:55,415 --> 00:06:56,584
I was there.

155
00:06:56,650 --> 00:06:59,252
I watched Superian kill him.

156
00:06:59,319 --> 00:07:02,590
I mean, they found his teeth,
for Chrissake.

157
00:07:02,656 --> 00:07:04,592
If The Terror was alive,

158
00:07:04,658 --> 00:07:06,760
I would be the one to know.

159
00:07:07,761 --> 00:07:09,630
What are staring at?

160
00:07:09,697 --> 00:07:11,131
Uh, nothing, nothing.

161
00:07:11,198 --> 00:07:14,201
I'm the only left
that knows who you are,

162
00:07:14,267 --> 00:07:15,503
where you live.

163
00:07:15,569 --> 00:07:17,705
The rest of my crew
is wiped out,

164
00:07:17,771 --> 00:07:20,007
-largely thanks to you and your
blue friend. -We had nothing

165
00:07:20,073 --> 00:07:22,275
to do with those guys
in the alley the other night.

166
00:07:22,342 --> 00:07:23,443
-That was all...
-Overkill.

167
00:07:23,511 --> 00:07:25,946
Yeah... I heard.

168
00:07:26,013 --> 00:07:29,850
Did he say anything to you
about me?

169
00:07:29,917 --> 00:07:31,652
What?

170
00:07:31,719 --> 00:07:33,420
Uh, n-no. He just...

171
00:07:33,487 --> 00:07:35,188
he said, you know,
"Take off the suit."

172
00:07:35,255 --> 00:07:38,559
And then, he, uh,
he said the... (stammers)

173
00:07:41,261 --> 00:07:43,263
What's so special
about this thing, anyway?

174
00:07:43,330 --> 00:07:44,464
I don't know.

175
00:07:44,532 --> 00:07:46,333
Maybe you should
ask your new buddy.

176
00:07:46,399 --> 00:07:49,036
(echoes):
Overkill.

177
00:07:49,102 --> 00:07:52,272
YOUNG ARTHUR: Christian Soldier
and his pious pooch, Onward;

178
00:07:52,339 --> 00:07:55,408
the Mighty Atlas, Human GPS;

179
00:07:55,475 --> 00:07:57,878
Sedona, the Wiccan Warrior;

180
00:07:57,945 --> 00:08:00,848
Sharp Shooter,
the Gregarious Gunslinger.

181
00:08:00,914 --> 00:08:03,383
-(humming tune)
-YOUNG ARTHUR: And their leader,

182
00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:05,786
Man of Platinum, Uncle Samson.

183
00:08:05,853 --> 00:08:08,556
Together, they make up
the fantastic fighting force,

184
00:08:08,622 --> 00:08:11,491
The Flag Five.
(hums tune)

185
00:08:11,559 --> 00:08:13,393
Arthur, buddy, it's late.

186
00:08:13,460 --> 00:08:15,563
-You got school in the morning.
-Okay.

187
00:08:20,734 --> 00:08:22,202
Why are you all dressed?

188
00:08:22,269 --> 00:08:23,236
Oh, I'm flying tonight.

189
00:08:23,303 --> 00:08:24,672
Can I fly?

190
00:08:24,738 --> 00:08:26,974
Well, maybe someday you'll...
(gasps)

191
00:08:28,408 --> 00:08:29,677
(groans, blood spurts)

192
00:08:39,787 --> 00:08:42,089
Morning, sunshine.

193
00:08:42,155 --> 00:08:43,791
(gasps)

194
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:46,594
(distant siren wailing)

195
00:08:50,397 --> 00:08:53,100
(sighs)

196
00:09:02,042 --> 00:09:03,143
Shit.

197
00:09:10,751 --> 00:09:12,152
(razor buzzing)

198
00:09:12,219 --> 00:09:13,253
(scope trilling)

199
00:09:16,323 --> 00:09:17,591
(razor buzzing)

200
00:09:23,597 --> 00:09:24,965
(razor stops)

201
00:09:25,032 --> 00:09:28,969
(scope trilling)

202
00:09:29,036 --> 00:09:31,204
(sighs)

203
00:09:39,980 --> 00:09:40,914
(sighs)

204
00:09:43,817 --> 00:09:45,418
Police have just
released the name

205
00:09:45,485 --> 00:09:47,821
of the landscaper
who was assaulted in his van

206
00:09:47,888 --> 00:09:50,557
and subjected to
a radioactive blast.

207
00:09:50,624 --> 00:09:52,793
Clifford Richter
of Notlob, Illinois

208
00:09:52,860 --> 00:09:55,863
was taken to St. Eva Marie
Presbyterian Hospital,

209
00:09:55,929 --> 00:09:57,164
where his condition was listed

210
00:09:57,230 --> 00:10:00,834
as stable, but growing
at an accelerated rate.

211
00:10:00,901 --> 00:10:02,836
Can I just get the usual
with no sugar, please?

212
00:10:02,903 --> 00:10:04,037
You need to do something first.

213
00:10:04,104 --> 00:10:05,505
Oh, the poncho. Yeah, okay.

214
00:10:05,572 --> 00:10:06,907
I have money.

215
00:10:06,974 --> 00:10:08,809
I'm talking about your friend,
The Tick Man.

216
00:10:08,876 --> 00:10:11,111
-TICK: Mmm.
-He will not leave my store.

217
00:10:11,178 --> 00:10:13,480
(sighs) Yeah,
I'll take care of it.

218
00:10:13,546 --> 00:10:15,415
-Arthur!
-Hi, Tick.

219
00:10:15,482 --> 00:10:17,050
What are you doing here?

220
00:10:17,117 --> 00:10:19,286
Not buying anything,
that's for sure.

221
00:10:19,352 --> 00:10:21,454
Arthur, this is Ouma,

222
00:10:21,521 --> 00:10:22,756
Goat's grandmother.

223
00:10:22,823 --> 00:10:25,092
-Goat?
-GOAT: What?

224
00:10:25,158 --> 00:10:27,027
-His name is Goat?
-Of course he's Goat.

225
00:10:27,094 --> 00:10:29,362
You should really learn
your neighbors' names, Arthur.

226
00:10:29,429 --> 00:10:32,032
It will make group hugs
less awkward for everyone.

227
00:10:32,099 --> 00:10:33,834
Ouma's thanking me
for saving her kitty

228
00:10:33,901 --> 00:10:35,903
with this delicious plate of...

229
00:10:35,969 --> 00:10:38,371
How do you pronounce this again?

230
00:10:38,438 --> 00:10:39,907
Tuwo shinkafa.

231
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:42,342
(laughs)

232
00:10:42,409 --> 00:10:43,911
Let's just call it "rice."

233
00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:47,047
Hey, do you mind if I have
a word with him quickly?

234
00:10:47,114 --> 00:10:48,381
Thank you.

235
00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:52,485
-Want some rice? -No,
absolutely not. Listen, Tick,

236
00:10:52,552 --> 00:10:54,788
I was thinking about what
you said the other night,

237
00:10:54,855 --> 00:10:57,090
and I think you're right
about going after Overkill.

238
00:10:58,325 --> 00:11:00,828
Now, that's the salve
for my burning itch.

239
00:11:00,894 --> 00:11:01,995
(pounds table)

240
00:11:02,062 --> 00:11:03,697
You and I delivering
that homicidal maniac

241
00:11:03,764 --> 00:11:06,800
to the unyielding bosom
of Lady Justice.

242
00:11:06,867 --> 00:11:10,170
No, no, Tick. Tick.
Tick, Tick.

243
00:11:10,237 --> 00:11:11,939
Not me, okay?

244
00:11:12,005 --> 00:11:13,673
Leave me out of this.

245
00:11:13,741 --> 00:11:15,442
I told you, I'm-I'm done with
this whole crime fighting thing.

246
00:11:15,508 --> 00:11:18,045
I think you should go
catch Overkill.

247
00:11:18,111 --> 00:11:20,247
See if he knows anything
about that suit you gave me.

248
00:11:20,313 --> 00:11:23,316
Question-asking is more
your métier, chum.

249
00:11:23,383 --> 00:11:25,152
I'm more at home with
the face-punching.

250
00:11:25,218 --> 00:11:28,055
Now, I say you slap on
said suit,

251
00:11:28,121 --> 00:11:30,523
and we both go
and take this character down

252
00:11:30,590 --> 00:11:32,960
mano a us.

253
00:11:33,026 --> 00:11:35,462
That's the thing,
I don't have the suit anymore

254
00:11:35,528 --> 00:11:38,098
because that electric witch lady
with the eye took it.

255
00:11:38,165 --> 00:11:39,699
Oh, Arthur.

256
00:11:39,767 --> 00:11:41,835
You let Miss Lint
take your suit?

257
00:11:41,902 --> 00:11:43,871
Not my suit.
It's-it's not my suit.

258
00:11:43,937 --> 00:11:45,873
I just think
it could give us a clue

259
00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:47,775
as to what The Terror is up to.

260
00:11:47,841 --> 00:11:49,176
What he's planning.

261
00:11:49,242 --> 00:11:51,979
And if we know that, then that
might lead us to find him.

262
00:11:52,045 --> 00:11:54,681
But you said you were done.

263
00:11:54,748 --> 00:11:56,716
Yeah. Yeah, because I am.

264
00:11:56,784 --> 00:11:58,685
Very much so.
I'm done with all of that.

265
00:11:58,752 --> 00:12:00,653
I-I have a normal life
to live, Tick.

266
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,457
I-I have a job to do,
and I have medication to take

267
00:12:04,524 --> 00:12:06,026
and I have responsibilities.

268
00:12:06,093 --> 00:12:08,361
Your responsibility is in
the fresh out there with me,

269
00:12:08,428 --> 00:12:11,698
fighting the ever-churning
butter churners of evil.

270
00:12:11,765 --> 00:12:13,366
That's the big time.
That's the show.

271
00:12:13,433 --> 00:12:14,868
That is who you are.

272
00:12:14,935 --> 00:12:16,469
Stop! Stop! Stop!

273
00:12:16,536 --> 00:12:17,871
Stop telling me who I am.

274
00:12:17,938 --> 00:12:19,072
Okay? You don't know who I am.

275
00:12:19,139 --> 00:12:20,407
You don't know anything
about me.

276
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:22,843
I don't know who you are.
I-I don't know what you are.

277
00:12:22,910 --> 00:12:24,444
I don't know
where you come from.

278
00:12:24,511 --> 00:12:25,979
-(phone vibrating)
-Oh.

279
00:12:26,046 --> 00:12:28,348
It's my sister.
She's waiting outside.

280
00:12:28,415 --> 00:12:32,385
Just... tell me
if you find him, okay?

281
00:12:36,556 --> 00:12:38,491
TICK:
Arthur!

282
00:12:38,558 --> 00:12:40,027
ARTHUR:
What, Tick?

283
00:12:40,093 --> 00:12:42,095
If I'm to procure this fiend,

284
00:12:42,162 --> 00:12:44,331
I'll need a finely-honed
description.

285
00:12:44,397 --> 00:12:46,800
Okay. It-- he's hard to miss,
okay?

286
00:12:46,867 --> 00:12:49,202
It's an all-black outfit,
skull helmet,

287
00:12:49,269 --> 00:12:51,304
-and smells like death.
-I'm on it.

288
00:12:51,371 --> 00:12:53,140
-Great.
-Right as soon as I go back and

289
00:12:53,206 --> 00:12:54,607
finish my delicious plate of...

290
00:12:54,674 --> 00:12:56,176
Tuwo shinkafa.

291
00:12:56,243 --> 00:12:58,178
(laughing)

292
00:12:58,245 --> 00:13:01,348
Good morning, Arthur's sister.

293
00:13:01,414 --> 00:13:02,749
It's Tick, right?

294
00:13:02,816 --> 00:13:04,417
And you're Spot.

295
00:13:04,484 --> 00:13:05,552
Dot.

296
00:13:12,492 --> 00:13:14,261
Mm-hmm.

297
00:13:14,327 --> 00:13:16,396
So, you gonna tell me
what's going on?

298
00:13:16,463 --> 00:13:18,832
That's the second time I've seen
you hanging around that guy.

299
00:13:18,899 --> 00:13:20,700
I'm not hanging around
The Tick, okay?

300
00:13:20,767 --> 00:13:22,335
He was just in the neighborhood.

301
00:13:22,402 --> 00:13:24,704
I thought you stopped trusting
superheroes a long time ago.

302
00:13:24,771 --> 00:13:25,873
Yeah, I did. I do.

303
00:13:25,939 --> 00:13:28,041
-Yeah.
-All right.

304
00:13:28,108 --> 00:13:29,509
Just after your small relapse,

305
00:13:29,576 --> 00:13:32,812
I just want to make sure
you're doing okay.

306
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:34,547
Do you still have
those nightmares?

307
00:13:34,614 --> 00:13:38,418
No. I haven't, I haven't
in a long time, so...

308
00:13:40,053 --> 00:13:41,922
Uh, so, remember,
you are helping me set up

309
00:13:41,989 --> 00:13:43,323
for Walter's birthday party
tomorrow.

310
00:13:43,390 --> 00:13:44,457
(sighs)
Oh, God.

311
00:13:44,524 --> 00:13:46,359
Are you really gonna
make me go to that?

312
00:13:46,426 --> 00:13:48,628
Yes. It's our stepfather's 60th.
You have to go.

313
00:13:48,695 --> 00:13:51,631
And you are going to be
nice to him for Mom's sake.

314
00:13:51,698 --> 00:13:53,533
He's just so weird.

315
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:54,534
Walter is not weird.

316
00:13:54,601 --> 00:13:56,703
He's always asking me
about my feet.

317
00:13:56,769 --> 00:13:57,905
(laughs)

318
00:13:57,971 --> 00:13:59,106
"Arthur,
how are your feet doing?

319
00:13:59,172 --> 00:14:00,874
Are your feet well?"

320
00:14:00,941 --> 00:14:02,242
All right, yes,
the feet thing, that's...

321
00:14:02,309 --> 00:14:03,576
-that's definitely weird.
-Yeah. Yeah.

322
00:14:03,643 --> 00:14:05,312
But to be fair,
he does that with everyone.

323
00:14:05,378 --> 00:14:06,679
Like that makes it less weird?

324
00:14:06,746 --> 00:14:08,048
That he does that
with everybody?

325
00:14:08,115 --> 00:14:09,582
Well, it's no weirder
than you palling around

326
00:14:09,649 --> 00:14:11,718
-with a blue bug.
-(snorts) I'm not pal...

327
00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:14,854
Don't worry about The Tick,
okay? He's harmless.

328
00:14:14,922 --> 00:14:16,623
NEWSCASTER (on TV):
And coming up,

329
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:18,926
-researchers at the Department
of Agriculture -(door chimes)

330
00:14:18,992 --> 00:14:21,962
continue to be baffled
by the depletion

331
00:14:22,029 --> 00:14:23,396
of the world's bee population.

332
00:14:23,463 --> 00:14:24,397
This perverse

333
00:14:24,464 --> 00:14:27,367
and, indeed, baffling phenomena
to be of grave concern

334
00:14:27,434 --> 00:14:29,302
-for the coming generations.
-(bottle cap drops)

335
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:31,604
Honey is something
we all need and love,

336
00:14:31,671 --> 00:14:35,408
and the bees' precious pollen
keeps the world going 'round.

337
00:14:35,475 --> 00:14:37,644
-(cash register opens)
-We may never know the cause

338
00:14:37,710 --> 00:14:39,279
of this sad development.

339
00:14:41,281 --> 00:14:43,650
This window's closed,
ne'er-do-wellers.

340
00:14:43,716 --> 00:14:45,452
No withdrawals today.

341
00:14:45,518 --> 00:14:46,954
What the hell is this?

342
00:14:47,020 --> 00:14:49,456
-Give us our money.
-I... I want to.

343
00:14:49,522 --> 00:14:50,557
I'm trying, trying.

344
00:14:50,623 --> 00:14:53,060
Now, before I send you
both packing,

345
00:14:53,126 --> 00:14:56,763
either of you reprobates
know of a fella named Overkill?

346
00:14:56,829 --> 00:14:58,631
Shoot this clown.

347
00:14:58,698 --> 00:14:59,933
(gun cocks)

348
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,900
(bullet ricochets)

349
00:15:00,968 --> 00:15:03,503
Ow! What the fuck, man?

350
00:15:03,570 --> 00:15:06,606
How could I have
possibly predicted that?

351
00:15:06,673 --> 00:15:07,975
You go and tell your boss

352
00:15:08,041 --> 00:15:11,111
-Ah! -this establishment
is under my protection.

353
00:15:11,178 --> 00:15:14,014
In fact, the entire block!

354
00:15:14,081 --> 00:15:15,448
-And the city!
-GOAT: Wait!

355
00:15:15,515 --> 00:15:18,518
Come back. I have your money.
It is here!

356
00:15:18,585 --> 00:15:19,652
Put your money away.

357
00:15:19,719 --> 00:15:21,488
They're going to kill me.

358
00:15:21,554 --> 00:15:23,656
Not on my watch.

359
00:15:23,723 --> 00:15:25,058
Well, got to go.

360
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:27,060
I'm off to hunt a villain,

361
00:15:27,127 --> 00:15:29,329
or perhaps an anti-hero.

362
00:15:29,396 --> 00:15:31,198
I'll know more
once I've found him.

363
00:15:32,099 --> 00:15:33,600
(door closes)

364
00:15:33,666 --> 00:15:35,468
SUPERVISOR:
Well, I, for one,

365
00:15:35,535 --> 00:15:38,771
am very grateful that
you're feeling better.

366
00:15:38,838 --> 00:15:40,573
We could really
use you right now.

367
00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,410
It's been an absolute madhouse
around here.

368
00:15:43,476 --> 00:15:47,614
We've had to double up
on work spaces.

369
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,216
Everest,

370
00:15:49,282 --> 00:15:51,851
sorry you weren't here for
the picking of cubicle mates.

371
00:15:51,918 --> 00:15:53,653
You got Jergen.

372
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:55,655
No, not Jergen.

373
00:15:55,722 --> 00:15:57,057
I can hear you.

374
00:15:57,124 --> 00:15:59,859
Oh, hey, uh,
sorry about that, Jergen.

375
00:15:59,926 --> 00:16:01,528
It's pronounced "Yergen."

376
00:16:01,594 --> 00:16:02,862
Apology declined.

377
00:16:02,929 --> 00:16:06,399
Well, I'll let you two
get reacquainted for a moment.

378
00:16:06,466 --> 00:16:09,169
But then it's back
to those 1021s

379
00:16:09,236 --> 00:16:11,071
and BRF forms.

380
00:16:14,174 --> 00:16:15,475
Thank you.

381
00:16:15,542 --> 00:16:17,410
So, Everest,

382
00:16:17,477 --> 00:16:19,979
what's your take on the
landscaper guy from the news?

383
00:16:20,047 --> 00:16:22,215
The one they say
is growing out of control.

384
00:16:22,282 --> 00:16:23,850
Oh, I-I haven't really...

385
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:27,554
Starting to call him V.L.M.:
the Very Large Man.

386
00:16:27,620 --> 00:16:30,190
Personally, I don't even think
he even exists.

387
00:16:30,257 --> 00:16:33,160
Probably some hoax started
by the liberal elite.

388
00:16:33,226 --> 00:16:35,262
Just a bunch of snowflakes,

389
00:16:35,328 --> 00:16:37,564
putting out their fake news
to scare patriotic,

390
00:16:37,630 --> 00:16:39,432
uneducated Americans.

391
00:16:42,102 --> 00:16:43,236
(grunts)

392
00:16:55,415 --> 00:16:56,616
MAN:
Hey, boss.

393
00:16:56,683 --> 00:16:58,085
Lint's here.

394
00:16:58,151 --> 00:17:00,520
Lint.

395
00:17:00,587 --> 00:17:04,224
Well, look at you.
Living up to your name.

396
00:17:04,291 --> 00:17:06,259
Said the man who adopted
the name of a pharaoh

397
00:17:06,326 --> 00:17:09,762
with a really,
really short reign.

398
00:17:09,829 --> 00:17:10,763
Hmm.

399
00:17:15,335 --> 00:17:16,969
What do you want, Ramses?

400
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:19,272
You know damn well
what I want.

401
00:17:19,339 --> 00:17:22,842
The suit that was stolen
from the Urmanian shipment.

402
00:17:22,909 --> 00:17:26,979
You swore to me you were gonna
get it back, so...

403
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:29,082
where is it?

404
00:17:29,149 --> 00:17:30,917
Looks like the guy
who ripped it off

405
00:17:30,983 --> 00:17:32,619
may have skipped town.

406
00:17:32,685 --> 00:17:33,686
Uh-uh. I don't buy it.

407
00:17:33,753 --> 00:17:35,955
I just got word Big Blue ran off
two of my collectors

408
00:17:36,022 --> 00:17:37,257
at some market.

409
00:17:37,324 --> 00:17:38,525
I'm not talking about him.

410
00:17:38,591 --> 00:17:40,227
I'm talking about his partner.

411
00:17:40,293 --> 00:17:42,562
The partner.

412
00:17:42,629 --> 00:17:44,897
You still haven't I.D.'d
that asshole?

413
00:17:44,964 --> 00:17:48,368
Hey, I've been a little hindered
ever since I lost my crew.

414
00:17:48,435 --> 00:17:50,437
You may want to
cut me some slack.

415
00:17:50,503 --> 00:17:52,639
I got all this pressure
pressing down on me,

416
00:17:52,705 --> 00:17:57,076
and the best you can do is blame
Overkill for your screwup?

417
00:17:57,144 --> 00:17:59,078
(clicks tongue)

418
00:17:59,146 --> 00:18:01,814
That's all I need is that psycho
cutting into our business.

419
00:18:01,881 --> 00:18:04,584
Rumor on the street is that
he's looking for The Terror.

420
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,390
Well, that's nuts.

421
00:18:10,457 --> 00:18:12,659
Terror's been dead
for more than a decade.

422
00:18:12,725 --> 00:18:14,427
There were remains.

423
00:18:14,494 --> 00:18:17,029
How much proof do people need?

424
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:19,499
Right. The teeth.

425
00:18:19,566 --> 00:18:23,603
I'll let you know when
I find your precious suit.

426
00:18:27,073 --> 00:18:30,177
(footfalls approaching slowly)

427
00:18:33,713 --> 00:18:37,250
Think you can just forget
about me, you little pissant?

428
00:18:37,317 --> 00:18:39,252
I don't think so.

429
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:41,854
Go ahead, try and bury me.

430
00:18:41,921 --> 00:18:43,256
Put me out of your thoughts.

431
00:18:43,323 --> 00:18:46,426
I'm never gonna leave you alone.

432
00:18:46,493 --> 00:18:49,196
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.

433
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:51,998
You're here.
Y-You're really here.

434
00:18:52,064 --> 00:18:53,800
I've always been here.

435
00:18:53,866 --> 00:18:56,203
Because I'm alive, you punk.

436
00:18:56,269 --> 00:18:59,639
Living inside
your pathetic little skull.

437
00:18:59,706 --> 00:19:01,941
That pain you feel
between your eye sockets?

438
00:19:02,008 --> 00:19:05,712
That's me, nailing up
my black light posters.

439
00:19:05,778 --> 00:19:08,648
You think you've got
what it takes to find me?

440
00:19:08,715 --> 00:19:12,285
To stop me?
I don't think so!

441
00:19:12,352 --> 00:19:14,921
'Cause you got nothing!

442
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:16,256
(yells)

443
00:19:16,323 --> 00:19:18,291
JERGEN:
The physics don't even add up.

444
00:19:18,358 --> 00:19:22,462
His giant lungs wouldn't be able
to absorb enough oxygen.

445
00:19:22,529 --> 00:19:24,597
He'd pass out in minutes.

446
00:19:24,664 --> 00:19:27,434
The government's just trying
to create public hysteria

447
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:30,737
as an excuse
to impose regulations.

448
00:19:30,803 --> 00:19:33,206
-(knock on glass) -TICK: Arthur!
-Just like they put fluoride

449
00:19:33,273 --> 00:19:36,443
in our water so they can
brain-control us all.

450
00:19:36,509 --> 00:19:38,511
TICK (muffled):
Arthur!

451
00:19:38,578 --> 00:19:41,914
JERGEN: Can't really think
and I'm trapped in this box.

452
00:19:41,981 --> 00:19:43,916
(Jergen continues muttering)

453
00:19:43,983 --> 00:19:45,852
(muffled): It's me! Hi.

454
00:19:45,918 --> 00:19:48,455
(whispers):
The window. That one.

455
00:19:48,521 --> 00:19:50,723
Mm.

456
00:19:54,861 --> 00:19:58,130
Hey, Arthur. You almost done
with this secret identity

457
00:19:58,197 --> 00:19:59,932
pretend-job thingy?

458
00:19:59,999 --> 00:20:01,968
Tick, I-I've barely been here
for an hour.

459
00:20:02,034 --> 00:20:03,703
I know, it's interminable.

460
00:20:03,770 --> 00:20:05,372
Okay. Have you found
Overkill yet?

461
00:20:05,438 --> 00:20:07,106
I looked. I asked around.

462
00:20:07,173 --> 00:20:09,376
I got confused about
who I was looking for again.

463
00:20:09,442 --> 00:20:11,811
And then I spent
about a half hour

464
00:20:11,878 --> 00:20:14,447
trying to find my way
out of a bus terminal.

465
00:20:14,514 --> 00:20:15,815
-You didn't find him.
-Alas, no.

466
00:20:15,882 --> 00:20:19,719
But I did figure out
what the problem is.

467
00:20:19,786 --> 00:20:23,556
I said to myself, "Tick,
you need Arthur's brain

468
00:20:23,623 --> 00:20:27,994
"and some kind of voice box
with which to express

469
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:29,762
Arthur's thoughts and ideas."

470
00:20:29,829 --> 00:20:32,765
And then it hit me:
Arthur has both of those things

471
00:20:32,832 --> 00:20:36,202
in a neat little package
called "you."

472
00:20:36,269 --> 00:20:38,338
-Tick, you're a superhero.
-Uh-huh.

473
00:20:38,405 --> 00:20:40,973
A-And you've managed
being a superhero

474
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,943
for-for a long time
before I came along, right?

475
00:20:44,010 --> 00:20:45,478
One would imagine.

476
00:20:45,545 --> 00:20:46,713
W-Well, what does that mean?

477
00:20:46,779 --> 00:20:49,148
-(inhales)
-You don't know?

478
00:20:49,215 --> 00:20:50,750
Well, here's the thing, chum.

479
00:20:50,817 --> 00:20:53,420
Didn't really occur to me till
you asked me the other day

480
00:20:53,486 --> 00:20:55,655
where I came from, but, uh,

481
00:20:55,722 --> 00:20:58,391
I'm a wee bit fuzzy about that.

482
00:20:59,426 --> 00:21:01,728
Define "a wee bit" for me.

483
00:21:01,794 --> 00:21:05,365
-I can't remember anything
before the last few days. -What?

484
00:21:05,432 --> 00:21:06,633
I said, "I can't remember
anything before..."

485
00:21:06,699 --> 00:21:09,436
Yeah, no, no,
I heard you, Tick, I ju...

486
00:21:12,138 --> 00:21:16,042
-D-Did you suffer some kind
of head trauma? -Okay.

487
00:21:16,108 --> 00:21:20,380
You actually just have
no idea who you are.

488
00:21:20,447 --> 00:21:21,848
Well, I do know a few things.

489
00:21:21,914 --> 00:21:24,283
I know that
I am definitely The Tick.

490
00:21:24,351 --> 00:21:26,419
I know I'm most definitely
a superhero.

491
00:21:26,486 --> 00:21:29,822
And I get a little confused
when you're not around.

492
00:21:29,889 --> 00:21:31,924
-Even though we just met.
-Did we?

493
00:21:31,991 --> 00:21:34,060
Yeah. Yeah, we did.

494
00:21:35,828 --> 00:21:38,064
Okay, Tick,

495
00:21:38,130 --> 00:21:39,566
-I'll tell you what.
-What?

496
00:21:39,632 --> 00:21:43,035
You help me with Overkill,

497
00:21:43,102 --> 00:21:46,038
and I'll try to help you
figure out your past.

498
00:21:46,105 --> 00:21:48,274
-You will?
-Yeah.

499
00:21:48,341 --> 00:21:50,510
Well, thank you, friend.

500
00:21:50,577 --> 00:21:52,912
You're a very caring
and thoughtful sidekick.

501
00:21:52,979 --> 00:21:56,082
I'm... not a sidekick,

502
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:58,385
but you're welcome.

503
00:21:58,451 --> 00:21:59,819
Now, unless Overkill is planning

504
00:21:59,886 --> 00:22:02,789
to murder me in my office
in broad daylight,

505
00:22:02,855 --> 00:22:04,857
I-I think it's probably smart
to search elsewhere.

506
00:22:04,924 --> 00:22:08,761
Got you. Good thinking,
Arthur's brain and voice box.

507
00:22:15,101 --> 00:22:18,505
(Tick grunts, whoops)

508
00:22:22,942 --> 00:22:25,077
(line whizzing)

509
00:22:35,321 --> 00:22:37,457
(man yelling)

510
00:22:40,493 --> 00:22:42,762
(groaning)

511
00:22:42,829 --> 00:22:44,363
(man grunts)

512
00:22:44,431 --> 00:22:46,365
Stosh, what are you doing?

513
00:22:46,433 --> 00:22:48,535
STOSH: This guy's got a slug
in his shoulder.

514
00:22:48,601 --> 00:22:52,271
-I'm trying to get it out.
-No.

515
00:22:52,338 --> 00:22:54,073
-What do you mean "no"?
-You don't remove the bullet.

516
00:22:54,140 --> 00:22:56,142
You just repair the damage.

517
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:58,511
Taking it out
can cause way more problems.

518
00:22:58,578 --> 00:23:00,212
-You sure about that?
-Of course not.

519
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:01,748
I'm only a licensed paramedic
and a medical student.

520
00:23:01,814 --> 00:23:03,049
What would I know
of such things?

521
00:23:03,115 --> 00:23:05,885
You watch too much TV.

522
00:23:05,952 --> 00:23:09,088
You really gonna
leave the bullet in me?

523
00:23:09,155 --> 00:23:10,356
That's the plan.

524
00:23:10,423 --> 00:23:11,824
Just think,

525
00:23:11,891 --> 00:23:13,560
every time you go through
a metal detector,

526
00:23:13,626 --> 00:23:15,795
you'll have a lasting reminder
of whoever shot you.

527
00:23:15,862 --> 00:23:17,664
(scoffs)
You don't need a reminder.

528
00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:21,801
You don't forget a giant,
blue, super man-bug.

529
00:23:21,868 --> 00:23:23,670
NARRATOR (on TV): It is only
then that the crew realizes

530
00:23:23,736 --> 00:23:25,572
the horrible mistake
they've made.

531
00:23:25,638 --> 00:23:27,507
CAPTAIN: Oh, it was clearly
the Mighty Sea-Man,

532
00:23:27,574 --> 00:23:29,141
King of the Briny Deep.

533
00:23:29,208 --> 00:23:31,678
In our rush to haul in
that huge school of sturgeon,

534
00:23:31,744 --> 00:23:33,412
he accidentally got swept up.

535
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,082
It was pretty embarrassing
for all of us.

536
00:23:36,148 --> 00:23:37,817
NARRATOR:
Now the captain and crew must...

537
00:23:37,884 --> 00:23:39,486
WOMAN (over PA):
Special report. Attention.

538
00:23:39,552 --> 00:23:41,353
-(alarm buzzes)
-This is not a drill.

539
00:23:41,420 --> 00:23:42,755
Please make your way toward
the nearest stairwell

540
00:23:42,822 --> 00:23:45,291
and evacuate the building.

541
00:23:45,357 --> 00:23:47,393
Attention. Attention.

542
00:23:47,460 --> 00:23:49,195
-Oh... man.
-This is not a drill.

543
00:23:49,261 --> 00:23:52,532
Elevator service is suspended
at this time.

544
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:54,601
(lights buzzing)

545
00:23:55,935 --> 00:23:57,369
-Oh, God.
-I need the suit, jackass.

546
00:23:57,436 --> 00:23:59,739
-I-I don't have the suit, okay?
-Don't you lie to me.

547
00:23:59,806 --> 00:24:01,474
I searched your apartment,
jackass.

548
00:24:01,541 --> 00:24:04,744
It's not in my backpack, okay?
Please just don't murder me.

549
00:24:04,811 --> 00:24:07,847
I'm not after you.
I'm after The Terror.

550
00:24:07,914 --> 00:24:10,182
TICK:
Excuse me, friend.

551
00:24:11,818 --> 00:24:13,486
I was just making my way
across town

552
00:24:13,553 --> 00:24:14,887
when I heard
the unmistakable sound

553
00:24:14,954 --> 00:24:17,724
of a zip line grapple hook gun
being fired.

554
00:24:17,790 --> 00:24:21,794
Overkill, you and I need
to have "the talk."

555
00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:24,797
-(beeps)
-Uh-oh.

556
00:24:24,864 --> 00:24:26,799
-Your hockey puck has a message
on it. -(device beeping)

557
00:24:26,866 --> 00:24:28,434
Oh!

558
00:24:28,501 --> 00:24:31,070
(laughing)

559
00:24:31,137 --> 00:24:32,138
Quite a kick.

560
00:24:32,204 --> 00:24:34,273
(Overkill grunting)

561
00:24:34,340 --> 00:24:36,075
That, not so much.

562
00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:39,946
Ha. Tickles.

563
00:24:42,048 --> 00:24:44,617
By the way, you're cleaning up
this mess, mister.

564
00:24:47,286 --> 00:24:48,855
(yells)

565
00:24:50,289 --> 00:24:52,792
Settle down, killer.
You're not going anywhere.

566
00:24:52,859 --> 00:24:56,596
(laughing):
Sensitive!

567
00:24:56,663 --> 00:24:59,265
(grunts)
Good night, Irene.

568
00:24:59,331 --> 00:25:00,633
-Damn.
-Tick, watch out.

569
00:25:04,136 --> 00:25:05,171
Yahtzee!

570
00:25:05,237 --> 00:25:07,073
(Tick chuckles)

571
00:25:07,139 --> 00:25:09,208
(grunting)

572
00:25:10,610 --> 00:25:11,611
Oh.

573
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:13,279
TICK:
Get off my nerves!

574
00:25:14,947 --> 00:25:16,549
Oh!

575
00:25:18,651 --> 00:25:21,988
(screams)

576
00:25:22,054 --> 00:25:23,455
Tick?!

577
00:25:23,522 --> 00:25:24,456
(Tick splats)

578
00:25:24,523 --> 00:25:26,192
(car alarm blaring)

579
00:25:26,258 --> 00:25:27,760
(woman screams)
