[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Are you real?

I want to start
by welcoming you all tonight

under such unfathomable circumstances.

Our beloved Brink's death

- was not just a tragedy.
- Where the hell'd you go?

- I was getting some air. Chill.
- It was one of the darkest days

in Godolkin's history.

For Golden Boy to commit such an evil,

unspeakable act, it just...

[SHUDDERS, EXHALES]

But in darkness,

stars can truly shine.

Like Marie Moreau,

the Guardian of Godolkin.

[APPLAUSE]

That's right.

So let's give Marie and stars like her

- the future she deserves.
- [MAN] Hear, hear.

[SHETTY] A donation
to the #ThinkBrink Foundation

will provide long overdue upgrades

to the combat gym
and the recording studio.

So please open your hearts.

Give generously.

Right, Marie?

- [CHUCKLES]
- [LAUGHTER]

Any donation would be appreciated,

but, of course, a large donation
would be more appreciated.

- [LAUGHTER]
- But, really,

from the bottom of my heart,

- thank you. - [SIGHS]
- [APPLAUSE]

What happened to you?

Parents.

Say no more.

Vodka.

The expensive sh*t you save

for the big swinging dicks.

And two glasses.

Shall we?

[SENTIMENTAL PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

[WOMAN VOCALIZING]

Brink didn't just hone my skills.

He sharpened my mind.

He turned me into the curious,

intelligent man I am today.

Rest in peace, broseph.

Brink was like an uncle to my boy.

And thanks to him,

Andre's going all the way.

See, that's what made Brink
the real deal.

He could see the diamond
inside the rock,

the pearl inside the oyster.

[QUIETLY] Emma, why the f*ck
are you still down there?

- sh*t.
- He knew he belonged in the Tower.

And now...

[TIFFANY] Emma, I'm starting
to get a little worried,

so if you could please pick up
the phone and call me back...

... to one of the real ones.

Yo. Where do you think you're going?

I'm going to the bathroom.

- Did I do something to piss you off?
- No.

Then what? Because all
you're doing is f*cking up.

- I have a different kid all of a sudden.
- I'm trying to be a hero, Dad.

What are you talking about?

I didn't sleep through my interview.

There's some f*cked-up sh*t going on,

and that-that's why Luke k*lled Brink.

Because there's-there's
this underground hospital

where they keep everybody and...

Who else have you told?

- Nobody.
- Don't say

another f*cking word about this.

You hear me?

You're gonna get yourself k*lled.

Y... You know?

Drop it.

- [MAN] Hey! Polarity!
- [LAUGHS] Hey!

Kevin.

There you are.

Me and the boy want to chop it up.

[KEVIN] Oh.

[EMMA GRUNTS]

[PANTS] Whoa.

A tiny girl is such
an interesting choice.

[STAMMERS] Why would I do that?
What does it mean?

Uh, I don't understand the question.

Well, you're not real.
You're a manifestation.

But why would I imagine you? [CHUCKLES]

No, I'm r... I'm real!

- Prove it.
- How?

What's the name of
the stuffed animal I loved more

than anything when I was little?

I have no idea.

- What's the name?!
- Dipdop!

How 'bout Dip... uh, Dipdop?

How did I break my arm in second grade?

- f*ck, man, I don't know.
- Tell me!

[STAMMERS] On a bike!

Who-who the f-f*ck knows, man?

What's the name...

... of my all-time favorite movie?

Well, you're a white guy, so...

Uh, Godfather, Star Wars or Shawshank.

Waterworld.

Waterworld?

[LAUGHS] Jesus.

[CHUCKLES] Wait.

You're real.

For real.

[LAUGHING] Holy sh*t.

You do know this is
the dumbest test ever, right?

[LAUGHS]

Wha-What are you...
what are you doing here?

You could get in big trouble.

Sort of scouting ahead.

For what?

For you.

To get you out of here.

Oh.

Uh...

No, I don't... I don't think so.

No?

You are literally almost in a dungeon.

Oh, it's not so bad.

Uh...

I have a... beanbag.

Okay, a beanbag
is not a compelling reason

- to stay c*ptive, Sam.
- I've tried.

I've tried to get out before,
but people get hurt.

I get mixed-up.

I just... I started some new meds.

I think it's better if I stay here.

But thanks for coming by.

Your brother sent me!

Luke?

He did?

Yes.

He wants to get you out, so...

I mean, I guess I could give you

the codes to all the security doors.

They don't think I pay attention.

But I do.

You know the f*cking codes?

I just knew you'd be
great at this, Marie.

Bet you scored a million in pledges.

You're a f*cking superstar.
You saved my ass.

Your ass needed saving?

A dean's whole job is raising money.

After Golden Boy, the donations
were going down the toilet.

And so was I.

But then one look at that smile of yours

and their wallets just
cracked right open.

[SATICÖY: "FADED FROM COLOR"]

Good.

I'm glad I could be useful to you.

Oh. [CHUCKLES SOFTLY] So useful.

You're fantastic. Excuse me.

Brownnoser, one-upper.

Mommy and Daddy's perfect little hero.

Yeah, well, that's definitely not me,

because my parents are dead.

Because I k*lled them.

You happy?

Bullshit.

I didn't know I had powers

until my first period.

I couldn't control the blood,

and it sliced through my mom's body.

Dad came in. Same deal.

- f*ck.
- Yeah.

I'm the last person
who thinks they're a hero.

I f*cking hate myself half the time.

We were camping.

I was nine.

My parents were setting up the tent.

My little brother kept
kicking at my shins,

so I grabbed him by the arm
and I told him to go away

and never come back.

So he did.

He just walked right into the woods.

That was the first time
my powers showed up.

I didn't know.

Jesus.

There was a... search party.

Dogs. You know?

It went on for weeks.

But...

nothing.

My mom never touched me again.

Neither did my dad.

[STAMMERS]

I had no idea.

I'm so sorry.

It is not your fault.

Your parents sh*t you up
with a dangerous drug

when you were a baby

to make a buck off you.

No, my parents weren't like that.

Yes, they were.

They did this. You didn't.

Don't spend a f*cking minute
crying over them.

I k*lled my grandpa with my powers.

Me, too.

Oh, sorry.

Um...

You want some?

Oh, can't. If I eat, I...

Like Alice in Wonderland.

Exactly. Yeah.

Except with a lot more puking.

Sorry, I don't... That's gross.

[MUTTERS]

You're the furthest thing from gross.

You're, uh...

You're pretty.

And brave. I mean...

You're so f*cking brave.

Thanks.

I'm not at all, though.

You've gotten closer to
rescuing me than Luke ever did.

you were probably born with.

Or maybe cosmetic surgery.

Oh, no.

What is it?

Hey! Guys, uh...

[WHISPERS] I f*cked up.

What did you do?

It's about her roommate.

I-Is she okay?
