[Nolan] Hey, I need my costume back.
It's classified,
and I want it back.
Am I important to you, Mark?
I'm gonna do better.
Maybe if you didn't lose your powers,
you might have been there
to help the Guardians on their last day.
I'm not even sure I want to do this anymore!
Welcome to the world of the living, Clone.
I need your expertise in tissue growth.
I'm here for you.
Whatever you need.
You want to talk, I'll listen.
[Machine Head] Murder.
These.
Assholes!
No! No, no, no!
[Amber] I thought Mark would be here tonight.
I really did.
[teens giggling]
[laughing together]
[branches rustling]
[screams]
[burps]
Oh, hey, excuse me.
'Sup, ladies?
What the hell?
You scared us, you creep.
Why were you hiding in the bushes?
Oh, my god!
I wasn't hiding in the bushes.
I was drinking in the bushes.
But that's not important.
What's important-- [burps]
--is that I'm motherfuckin' Doug Cheston!
[gulping]
[belches]
Who?
My dad owns--
[body slumps]
My dad owns Cheston Pharmaceutical,
and like, half this univer--
--and like, half this university.
Didn't your dad hike up prices
on that baby medicine everyone needs?
Totally, yeah!
Anyway, I'm gonna inherit all that shit soon,
'cause my dad's mad old.
So...
Do one, or, ideally, all of you,
want to have sex tonight,
and get in on the ground floor of my inheritance?
-Gross. -Ew! No way.
[scoffs] You don't know what you're missing.
[laughs, scoffing]
Yeah, we so do!
It's me!
I'm what you're missing!
Me and my huge--
[grunts]
--trust fund.
[groans]
What the...?
Hey, where am I?
[DA Sinclair] Oh, hello.
[chuckles] I know,
you're confused,
but I'm sure you're used to that.
Just stay quiet and still,
and soon you'll be feeling better than ever.
What?
What's going on?
You're going through a metamorphosis,
a miracle
that will take you from useless boil
on the behind of this crooked world,
to a brave explorer
charting a shining future for all humanity--
Nerd!
[guffaws]
Who talks like that?
You do!
You're a nerd, nerd!
[grunts, straining]
[gasps]
[straining] Hey!
Let me up, asshole!
If this is some joke, or some weird sex shit,
my dad's gonna sue you into the Stone Age!
Oh, Jesus!
Oh! Oh, shit!
[grunting]
[screams]
What the fuck is that?
[DA Sinclair] No histrionics, please.
What the fuck did you do?
Or I'll be forced to--
-Oh, my god! -[blade slices]
[squelching]
[gurgling]
I think we can all agree
you're better without vocal cords--
[clang]
--and don't worry about those prototypes.
You're going to be different.
You're going to be beautiful.
You're going to be--
[paramedic] Make a hole!
Keep moving! Careful!
Prep O.R. 3, 6, and 8!
-Pre-op! -Clamp that vein!
Keep an eye on that for me.
I've got multiple skull fractures
and cranial swelling.
She's convulsing! Keep her airway clear.
These numbers don't make any sense.
Watch out!
Hot transit needs care immediately.
One, two, three.
She's drowning in her own blood.
Get her intubated, now!
Toss me the saline.
Blood pressure's cratering.
Someone get Dr. Barclay in here.
I'm getting a line started.
Find out what kind of blood she can take.
The needle won't go in.
Shit!
Uh...
I've studied Monster Girl's physiology extensively.
Please stand aside.
What?
Get him out of here! Security!
[guns cocking]
You can attempt to remove me,
you may even succeed,
but then she dies,
or you can assist me,
and we can save her life.
Choose now.
Shh... I'm here now.
Monster Girl's only hope
is if we can activate her innate healing abilities.
Begin a saline infusion of 2% belladonna root,
5% wolfsbane.
We don't have that.
Then get it.
Nano-sutures.
He's fibrillating!
[monitor flatlining]

Clear!
[shock thumps]

Huh?
[energy surging]
-What the hell? -[glass shattering]
[circuits crackling]
[energy surges and falls silent]
What just happened?
[man] I have no idea.
[heartbeat beeping steadily]
This is bad.
He's got a hole all the way through him.
[woman] Careful.
-Pulse is dropping, people! -I'm on it!
[woman] Spinal damage seems likely.
[man] Thank God, whatever tore him up was sharp.
[female voice, distant] Mark...
Mark...
Mark?
Mom?
[gasps] Oh...
sweetheart.
I knew you'd pull through.
[groans]
How long was I out?
Six days.
Six days?
No...
No, no, I was supposed to, um...
Amber--
It's okay, I covered for you.
Told her you got hit by a bus,
which, from the looks of you, isn't far off.
Black Samson?
Monster Girl?
Still unconscious.
It's not your fault.
Darkblood crack yet?
You know him.
He barely talks when he wants to.
Let me take a swing.
I'll make him talk.
As fascinating as it would be
to watch an unstoppable force meet an immovable object,
I prefer to keep these kind of things in-house.
Did he do it?
Did he murder the Guardians?
We don't know.
What's more interesting to me is why he would do it.
He's a demon.
There's your why.
I thought I knew him, that's all.
Mark never told you
he was taking on Machine Head
all by his lonesome?
Yeah, he told me.
Told me he wasn't gonna take the bait.
[chuckles]
What's so funny about that?
You're the most powerful man on the planet,
but even your kid won't listen to you.
What, this doesn't happen on Viltrum?
No.
It doesn't.
[chuckles] Hmm.
Mark's a human teenager, Nolan.
It's what they do.
It's reassuring, really.
[Amber] You do look like you got run over.
Yeah, that's me.
The guy who doesn't know how traffic lights work.
I still can't believe
you wouldn't let me see you in the hospital.
They had weird rules about visitors.
Eve only knew I was there
because, um, she heard from William.
What?
I'd basically already dumped you that night.
I know...
and I've thought a lot about that
these last couple of days.
Remember when I first called you?
After you made Todd give me your number?
Yeah.
I was terrified,
and I could barely talk straight,
and I messed it all up,
but you let me start over.
And?
Can we do that again?
Start over?
You're right.
Yeah, I don't deserve...
to start over.
Hey, handsome Mark Grayson.
I'm glad you've still got that pretty face of yours.
[chuckles]
Me too.
So, uh...
wanna hang out sometime?
Sure.
[♪♪♪]
[William] Both ways, Mark.
You need to look both ways before you cross the street.
Did you skip kindergarten the day they taught that?
[chuckles] Guess so.
Hey, we haven't hung out for a while. We should--
Because someone's the king of excuses.
"I've got to study."
"I need to help my dad with work."
"I'm infectious."
Blah, blah, blah.
Okay.
Well, there's no school on Friday.
Let's catch a movie or something.
Love to.
Can't.
Remember Rick?
The guy you couldn't stop talking about last summer?
You make it sound like I was obsessed or something.
Anyway, he's at Upstate U.
I'm going for a tour on Friday.
Staying over.
They have a very handsome
pre-med program.
Did I say handsome? I meant "world-class,"
but also, handsome.
Can I come?
What?
I want to come.
Okay...
And I want to bring Amber.
Hold on--
Please, William.
I need this.
[soft knock]
Eve!
Come in.
Mark, I wanted--
I never got to thank you
for talking to Amber when I was hurt,
so... [sighs]
Thanks.
Going somewhere?
Oh, this guy William's crushing on
goes to Upstate U.
William's going for a tour,
and I convinced him
to let me and Amber tag along.
Oh.
Oh, shit.
I'm sorry.
Um, if you want to come, that's totally cool.
I'm just trying to start over with Amber, you know?
Show her I'm serious this time.
That's okay.
I'm skipping college anyway.
What? Why?
Your grades are way better than mine.
When I was at the community center with Amber,
something clicked for me.
I think I can help more people
by just... helping them, you know?
I don't have to wait for some alien invasion
or the Lizard League's next attack.
I can irrigate deserts,
stop natural disasters,
bring food to the starving.
You know, make a real difference.
Yeah. I get it.
Huh.
I thought you'd try and talk me out of it.
Rex would have.
I really messed up downtown.
Black Samson and Monster Girl almost died
because of me.
So I get it.
Maybe fighting off alien invasions
isn't in either of our futures.
Maybe we both need a fresh start.
[Debbie calls] Mark!
William and Amber are here.
Okay, Mom!
-[soft whoosh] -So where are you--
You okay?
Yeah. Fine.
Just sore.
[bangs roof] Come on, slowpoke!
Let's hit the road!
Okay, be careful.
Don't have too much fun.
No drinking.
No drugs.
And no sex!
[William laughs, Mark groans]
No sex. Got it.
I'll take good care of them, Mrs. Grayson!
[♪♪♪]
[revs engine, tires squealing]
[horn honks, teens laugh]
Tell me more about this Rick guy.
Oh, man.
I can't wait for you to meet him.
He's like, first of all, tall.
Amazing hair.
Thick as a horse's mane.
That's good?
-Yes. -Yes.
Rick's style? Incredible.
A perfect combo of street and prep.
Did I mention his teeth?
Little white bricks of joy--
Going out?
Need to pick up some dry cleaning,
something for dinner.
I won't be long.
I'll come along--
You're on a deadline for the book.
Isn't that what you told me? Or was I mistaken?
No, that's right.
Then you've got work to do, don't you?
[car engine starting]
[William] I mean,
can a person even have an eight-pack?
Anyhoo,
I don't wanna bore you guys any more about Rick.
-Ooh, except that he's-- -We get it!
You're in love with the guy.
What? No.
I mean, Rick's amazing,
but love him? No.
Oh, my god, here he comes!
William!
Come here!
What's up, Rick?
These are my friends,
Mark and Amber.
We've heard so much about you.
Hey.
Nice to meet you guys.
Let me grab your bags.
I got my dorm room all set up for us.
[♪♪♪]
It's gonna be a great weekend.
I just don't understand
why can't you do your new superhero helping job
from here?
You know why.
[Dad, shouting angrily] Samantha...
Samantha!
-[banging on wall] -Samantha!
The back door is still there.
I need a fresh start.
Somewhere new. Somewhere that's not here.
What about school?
Or-or college?
I've got enough credits to graduate,
and college can wait--
Samantha!
I'm not going to watch you ruin your life
on some hippie-dippie find-yourself bullshit--
Adam!
I mean it.
This is the opposite of what you should be doing
with your life.
And what would that be, Dad?
You want a fresh start?
Give up this superhero crap.
You can't save the world, Samantha.
It's gonna get you killed.
The worst day of my life was when you got powers.
Wow, that hurts much more than I thought it would.
I just want what's best for you.
A normal life.
A house.
A husband.
Kids...
That's what's best for you, Dad.
Not for me.
Samantha!
You get your feet back on the ground now!
Bye, Mom.
Bye, Dad.
Samantha!
This place is pretty cool.
It's also one of the best med schools in the country.
That's why I arranged a little biology class sit-in
for you guys.
You're still thinking pre-med, right, William?
Yup.
[whispering] He remembered!
[chuckles]
[professor] It may look the same from the outside,
but the chance of heart failure doubles
with each decade of life.
What can we do about that?
Eat better, sure.
Exercise helps.
Drugs, hmm.
But fundamentally our parts wear out.
Our focus is therefore
on extending quality of life,
even if we can't extend life itself--
[DA Sinclair] Oh, please.
Ah, Mr. Sinclair.
Once again, it seems you have an opinion to share?
I have the truth to share.
Who's the dick?
[Rick] DA Sinclair.
He's here on a genius grant,
and makes sure everyone knows it.
When you want to travel quickly,
you don't run,
you get in a car.
When you need to fly to another country,
you don't flap your arms,
you get on a plane.
We're all aware how travel works, Mr. Sinclair.
Your point?
All human failings
are simply engineering challenges
crying out to be solved.
We're machines,
and the sooner we recognize that,
the sooner we'll reach our true potential.
Dramatic much?
I'm sorry?
I'm not. You're being a jerk.
What's your problem, Sinclair?
My problem?
My problem is this school of idiots.
[clears throat]
MIT courted me.
Yale offered me a lab--
You should take it.
[muffled giggles]
[exhales]
You're impressive, Rick.
Muscular.
Assertive.
Classic alpha male.
Hey!
Don't say those...
compliments to him.
Mr. Sinclair...
you can return when you're ready to learn.
Then I'll see you at exams.
Rick.
[students murmuring]
As I was saying,
quality of life, not quantity.

[Mark] What do you think about coming here?
Together, I mean.
If you want that to happen,
you need to get your grades up,
Mark Grayson.
You're aware
you need to apply to college, right?
I'm serious.
I think this is what I want.

It was well guarded.

Samson... good to see you awake.

Mark, you can bunk out here with us.
Oh, yeah, totally.
Sorry about this.
Oh, don't sweat it.
I'll go down to the store and grab some beer.
Maybe by then, things will cool down,

I'll stay here.

Yes.
That's why I hired you.
Exactly.
Now... what's it for?
And whose DNA did you steal?
Your work doesn't require answers to those questions.
Maybe, maybe not,
but our work does require payment.
When it's complete.
Then we might just leak liquid ammonia
into the growth chamber.
New cells don't like liquid ammonia.

No.

I'm not so sure this time.
Yeah, you might be right.
Now take me flying,

Hello?

[Amber] She just left.
Got invited to some party.
Oh, shit, should I have gone after her?
Get up!
Something happened to Rick.
We were on the phone, and it cut off.
We need to look for him.
I need to go after Amber.
What?
Just call him back.
He's not answering!
You don't want my help.
Every time I try to be a hero,
I make things worse.
What if it's that thing from earlier?
You saw me kill it.
It killed itself.
Whatever. It's dead.
Look, call me if you really can't find Rick,
but I gotta go after Amber first.
Sorry.

Maybe I should get my ass kicked more often.
Then rejoin the team at Guardians HQ.

Yeah, all right.

Are you there?
Rick?
[♪♪♪]
[Nolan laughs] And you...
you dressed him in plaid!
[laughing]
You know, he had to wear that suit
when he met the President.
Well, let that be a lesson to you,
never piss off your tailor.
[Nolan laughs]
What's the matter, Art?
You seem a little nervous.
No, no, just, uh, tired.
Lots of repairs this week.
I bet.
It's funny how quickly things can fall apart.
One day,
it seems like you have all the time in the world,
and then the next...
it's gone.
Oh?
Ah, don't listen to me.
I just wanted to swing by
and make sure our partnership is still going strong.
Like you said,
never piss off your tailor, right?
[music thumping, conversations]
[♪♪♪]
It's not all parties.
There's a ton of great programs here.
The profs are solid, the labs are new--
What?
You're a little nerdy for a frat guy.
[laughs]
My girlfriend says the same thing.
She's transferring here next semester.
I miss her a ton.
You seeing anyone?
[sighs]
I was.
[♪♪♪]
[cell phone rings]
Not now, William.
[muffled screams]
[groaning] Mark!
I can't hear you.
I'll see you back at Rick's dorm--
[signal crackling]
[gasps]
[♪♪♪]
[banging and pounding]
No!
[screaming in protest]
What did you do with Rick?
[grunts]
Why, the same thing I'm about to do with you.
[tool whirring]
Shit, shit, shit...
William!
[splashing]
[gags]
William?
What did you do with William?
Whoa!
[punching and struggling]
[groans]
[wall crumbles]
-Whoa, William! -A rematch.
Excellent.
I'm afraid I witnessed that first scrap
and made a few small improvements.
[groans]
Mark! Invincible!
He's turning people into those things!
You make me sound like a monster.
I'm not turning people into anything.
I'm fixing humanity's weaknesses.
[grunts]
[snarling]
[grunts]
[groaning]
[snarls]
[stomps, crushing rock]
[roars]
Oh, my god! Rick?
[groaning]
Stop! Don't do this!
It's no use appealing to his emotions.
I removed them myself.
No!
[screams in grief]
[groans]
[slamming]
[groans]
-[ribs cracking] -[screams]
Rick? It's us! It's me!
[Mark groans]
We met last year!
At the lake!
Remember last summer?
The boathouse!
It changed my life, Rick.
I know it changed yours, too.
[blood splashing]
We had sex by the water!
It was the best thing that ever happened to me!
Oh, that's a tad personal...
-[bone saw whirrs] -No!
[screaming]
[Rick groans] William?
Yes, Rick! It's me!
Help us!
[punches squelching]
[gasps and moans]
Are you crying?
No... No!
Stop! You'll ruin yourself!
[circuit shorts]
[roars]
[shouting in rage]
[squelching]
[circuits shorting]
You brutes have set humanity back decades!
[unsnapping shackles]
You're not going anywhere, asshole!
[grunting]
[roaring]
[blood splashing]
Don't you understand?
This is about progress!
Science!
Saving the human race from disease!
[gasping]
[grunts]
[gasping]
[slumps wetly]
[moans, mumbling]
[paramedic] Want to check his pressure?
I'm sorry.
[winces]
I just lost it.
Don't beat yourself up.
I would've done the same thing.
What are you going to do with him?
I figure the classic
lock him up and throw away the key.
Impressive technology, though,
especially for something built in a sewer.
Sick, you mean.
Hard to believe
they gave you a run for your money like that.
[paramedic] This guy's in bad shape.
Let's get him out.
Can you help them?
We'll do our best.
Go home, kid.
I'll take it from here.

[front door opens and closes]
[distraught] Why?
Why what?
Josef.
Darkwing.
War Woman.
The others...
Why did you do it?
I didn't do anything--
[grunts] Don't lie to me!
I know!
I know you killed them, Nolan!
You're drunk.
We'll talk about this tomorrow.
[grunts]
[breathing hard]
Fuck you, Nolan.
[door slams shut]
[glass shatters]
[fist slams]
[frogs and crickets chirping]
[shovel rasping]
I dunno, man.
My stepdad could lose his job at the White House
for this.
Stop being a wuss, Matt.
This is gonna be epic,
and when it's all over,
we'll be the ones calling the shots.
You sure it's gonna work?
You got the schnapps?
We dig up the Immortal,
drink from his skull,
and wham, we get his powers.
Easy as shit, man.
It's just a rumor.
Dude, I saw it on Reddit.
[gasps]
[Mauler] Don't believe everything you read
on the Internet... kids.
