[GEOFFREY] Previously
on Marvel's
Runaways...

[JONAH] We can't fully revive
him without a sacrifice.

- Is he gonna be okay?
- That's what we're all hoping for.

Have you talked to your mom?
Does she have these same issues?

Oh, I don't know, I'm adopted.
My parents d*ed in a fire.

The Hernandezes were good people.
They didn't deserve this.

I saw her hand, Robert.

She b*rned herself on a frying pan.

- Is that a fact?
- Tina didn't do this.

Your parents sent me this
just before they d*ed.

There's a Metrolink. We'll go down
there in the morning if you like.


[GERT] Are you kind of into Nico? By
the way, I would totally support it.


- Yeah, so you could be with Chase?
- No, I don't like Chase.

- Could've fooled me.
- You're not being honest

about who you really like.

Neither are you.
Do you know what they do?

[FRANK] PRIDE? They raise money
for charity, honey,

- that school they're building.
- No, Dad, that is not it.

That is not it at all.

Then tell me what it is.

You can't keep the circumstances
of my sister's su1c1de a secret.

Well, if Amy was digging into Wizard,

maybe your mom was worried that she
found something out about PRIDE.

[NICO] Her laptop was wiped clean,
but we never found her phone.


I need to search her room again.

Got it all right here, all the proof
we need to put them away forever.

If something happens to PRIDE,
my dad dies.

This video can't get out.
Give me the laptop!

- It's not up to you.
- Hey! sh*t!

No, no, no! Chase, don't!

- Chase!
- What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry.

[SPEAKING SPANISH]

[SIGHS]

Hey.

Elian's gonna love
his new home, you know that?

I love you.

[COMPUTER] Incoming Wiz Chat.

Oh, thank God. We've been
trying to reach you all night.

- We saw.
- What's going on?


- Everything okay?
- No.

We got the new dig projections.

[DALE] Oh, great. Email 'em over.

No, you have to see these in person.

- You worried about Tina again?
- Look...

[DALE] If they are, you think
whispering's going to help, seriously?


[ALICE] It's not about
the risk assessment.

We dug up these rock samples.

- [DALE] Yeah.
- We can't explain it.

[STACEY] I think this dig has jack-sh*t
to do with renewable energy.


Now, I want to know what this
assh*le, Jonah, has us working on.


[DALE] Okay, you know what?
We will be right over.

[STACEY] And, Al, whatever it is,
we will figure it out together.


[DALE] We will. Don't worry.

- Alice?
- What?

Open it.

[BEEPING]

[ALICE] Oh, my God!

What is that?

Molly!

[TINA] Hello?

It's done.

[LESLIE] Gene and Alice
are no longer a problem.


You mean...

I handled it.

sh*t!

[GROANS]

Molly, sweetie, I made huevos.

Jeez.

[ROBERT] Hey. Lookin' for something?

Just tights.

So, you're back?

I-I know, it's strange, me being home.

Your mom's giving me a second chance.

I'm grateful, even if she doesn't
want me back in her bed yet.

You do realize we have a guest room.

Maybe it's weird,
but it gives me comfort...

being in here.

You don't mind, do you?

No.

I get it.

So, all of the data got destroyed

when Chase smashed the computer?

Yeah. Alex had no time to back it up.

I've never seen him so mad, but
now we're back to square one.

No evidence.

Listen, I think it's really brave,

what you guys have done,

but I think it's time
that you step back,

you let some adults take over.

One adult.

Me.

Dad, I appreciate you
letting me confide in you,

but what can you really do
about all of this?

Just give me a couple days.

But I don't want any of you kids

taking this any further.

If you're right about all this...

If?

Then it's too dangerous

for you to do this on your own.

[LESLIE] Frank?

I promise you, I got this.

There you are. Didn't you hear me?

Yeah, I was just saying
goodbye to Karolina.

Later, Gator!

- [FRANK] Gotta go, Buffalo!
- [LAUGHING]

- Bye, honey.
- Bye, Mom.

[JANET] This type of tumor
is particularly aggressive

and will require both surgery
and chemotherapy,


but anyone who knows my husband

knows he won't stop until he succeeds.

Unfortunately, the radical
therapy that he's pursuing


is only available overseas,

so he will retire from public life

while undergoing this process.

Our family ask for privacy...

[JANET] Does my voice
really sound like that?

When you lie, yeah, it does.

Where is he?

- What is happening with Dad?
- They took him.

- Oh, so he could be dead?
- I don't think so.

The man who's taking care of him

is very invested in his recovery.

Jonah? What the hell
is that guy's story?

Chase, I know that this
is the most difficult thing

that you have ever been through,

but I am begging you,

do not ask questions.

The less you know, the better,

about Jonah, about PRIDE,
about your father.

Just do not rock the boat in any way.

Making waves is only gonna...

Put Dad in jeopardy, I get it.

I was gonna say...

put you in harm's way.

Losing my husband, I could survive.

But losing my son, I could not.

What? You're actually worried
that I might die?

Who are these people, really?

They're no one you need to worry about

if you just listen to me.

Okay, but Mom, how did we get here?

How do we make it stop?

I wish I knew.

But I need you to be careful.

Can you just promise me,
just please be careful?

Okay.

[MS. TEZUKA] Chase!

We heard the awful news
about your father.

The whole school has your
family in our thoughts.

He's a great man.

Thanks, Ms. T.

He's a fighter, all right.

Hey! Chase. Chase.

I'm really sorry about your dad, man.

I know we've all been through a lot,

but, uh, your dad's the sh*t, so...

Yeah, man, hey,
we're rooting for you, buddy.

- For real.
- Wow. Thanks, guys.

Bro hug?

Got all these people
feeling sorry for him.

Doesn't need a hug; what he
needs is a punch in the face.

Another reason to miss Molly.

His dad is in rough shape,

wherever PRIDE has him.

His dad is just as bad
as the rest of our parents.

And Chase destroyed the only chance

we had to put 'em away.

It still might work out.

I'm not saying what he did was right...

Please do not try and defend him.

Even if you did hook up with him.

Could you please not tell everyone that?

What, like Nico
hasn't already told them?

How would Nico know unless you told her?

Why would it bother you if I did?

Yeah, no worries, right now

Nico isn't even talking to me.

He speaks the truth.

And I'm leaving.

- Stay. Let's talk through this.
- I've got a busted laptop

that says we're past the point
of polite conversation.

Wilder, I said I was sorry.

Are you sorry, Chase?

Tell me, what does that change, exactly?

Thanks to you, we don't know
what our next move is,

or if we even have one.

We can't win, not anymore.

My dad says he has a plan.

[NICO] So, what are you suggesting?

That we all break up?

Again?

No. No, we can't disband the group.

We never even gave ourselves
a cool nickname.

How about the Runaways?

For all the kids
we couldn't save or avenge.

- Too dark.
- Even for me.

Why don't we just go nickname-less?

[EIFFEL] Last chance to get your
tickets before the dance tonight!

I'm sorry, this does not concern you.

Chase, I'm so sorry
to hear about your dad.

You know, sometimes
a bad thing has to happen

for something good to come of it.

How about a free ticket?

I'll even save you a dance.

Um, I'm not sure I'm going.

You want one?

The water polo team will be there,

in case you're looking to diversify.

We'll take five tickets,
you hateful bitch.

We're all going together.

If there's nothing left for us to do,

then let's dance.

[TINA] Why are you smiling?

[ROBERT] 'Cause it's finally over,

the grip PRIDE had on our lives
for the last years.

I hope you're right.

When that drill starts up, we'll
finally get our lives back.

Our family...

our marriage.

What we've lost...

we're never getting back.

Hey, Amy, Mommy's home.

Hi, Mommy!

What did you do to the babysitter?

[LAUGHING]

Oh, that's for me? Thank you.

[TINA] I thought you were sick.

Oh, feeling much better,

thanks to all of you.

But mostly to you.

What did I do to deserve

such gratitude personally delivered?

Keeping the recording on your server,

standing up to the others.

I believed in you,
and you believed in me.

All I believed

is that you would
make good on your threats.

[JONAH] Hmm. Come here, sweetie.

Fascinating what you can learn
watching a child at play.

Hmm! She is a smart one, this one,

just like her mom.

Does the right thing. [CHUCKLE]

You're so lucky.

What a lovely family you have.

Come here, baby. Hi, oh...

They say that raising girls
at this age is easier,

but when they become teenagers,
watch out. [CHUCKLES]

That's when they turn on their mothers.

Hey, you okay?

Yes, you are.

- Ready?
- Almost.

You realize we're standing
at the edge of history?

Step on up and witness a great
leap forward for humanity,

all because of PRIDE.

- Where are all my guys?
- I've dismissed them.

We're gonna need a different level
of security moving forward.

And Leslie's church can provide that?

This is my neighborhood, my site.

And you have my word
it will be protected,

but this elite group of men and women

are far more dedicated
than your average wage drone.

- Hey, my guys are not...
- I, for one, am just glad

- this day is finally here.
- [DALE] Agreed.

Look, this renewable energy source
you've been talking about for so long,

I think maybe now it's time
for a few more specifics.

We've all sacrificed
a great deal to get here.

Some details would be nice.

Please, huh?

Let's not get distracted
from this joyous occasion.

Everything we've worked for
has finally come to fruition.

He never really answers a question.
You ever notice that?

[JONAH] You ready?

[MACHINE STARTING UP]

Oh, my...

Wow.

You gotta be kidding me.

Hurry up, man, get in the car.

So, what's going on?

I'm paying you to be my
eyes and ears in there.

What, you get a splinter or some sh*t?

Got fired. We all did.

Huh.

Okay, almost years
I've been waiting to see

what the hell old G's
gonna do with this sh*t.

I guess it's finally on.

[MOLLY] Gert!

[GERT] Molly?

- Oh, my God, are you alone?
- How's your new house?

- How did you get here?
- You missed some real sh*t last night.

- What are you doing here?
- Listen, Graciela's probably

already calling around looking for me.

I don't have a lot of time.

Which is why you decided to do
a show-and-tell on retrotech.

It's from my parents,
and I need you to help me.

Okay, well, uh, when I was in AV club,

we had an old VHS machine

that we used to stash
in the closet of the library.

Maybe it's still there.

What? It used to be a cool club.

- No, yeah.
- Definitely.

It's literally the club

they use in every teen movie

to show how uncool someone is.

Guys, come on, don't
take away his one thing.

You're all assholes.

This was left specifically for me,

something important.

Hi, baby.

- Molly, those are your...
- Yeah.

[GENE] Molly, since
before you were born,

we've been part of an
organization called PRIDE.


[ALICE] PRIDE does a lot of good
for the city,

but it's not the group's
reason for being.


[GENE] They're planning on
digging something up,

something buried deep beneath the city.

[ALICE] We were told

that it was a renewable energy source,

that would do good for the planet.

[GENE] But now we're not so sure.

Doesn't sound like this story
has a happy ending.

- And you're surprised?
- Shh.

And even if what's down there is good...

There's a blind fault
you can't see from the surface,


and if we disturb it, it will
cause a series of seismic events.


[ALICE] Catastrophic earthquakes.

[GENE] Hydrocarbons causing
explosions and massive fires.


Not to mention we found

some really weird stuff
in these rock samples,


and we don't know if it's caused
by a virus or a fungus...


[GENE] It doesn't... it doesn't matter.

The point is, if you're watching
this, we failed to stop it.


Baby, we love you so, so much...

and there's so much more
we wanna tell you.


But please know that
we are right beside you...


always.

You are our greatest joy.

[GENE] And we are so, so sorry.

This... this makes zero sense.

Maybe our parents don't
know what that dig will do.

Come on, of course they do.

They just went from serial
K*llers to genocidal maniacs.

I was hoping my parents
weren't a part of this,

but I guess they're as bad as the rest.

No, your parents thought that
they were doing something good,

and when they realized they
weren't, they tried to warn you.

Maybe they tried to warn the others.

Maybe that's why... they d*ed.

[ALEX] Forget turning our parents in.
We have to stop them.

Stop them from what?

What are they even doing,
digging a hole?

The school.

They're using its
construction as a cover.

The PRIDE meetings, the gala?
It's all been a front.

Basically our whole lives,

they've been planning on
how to end the world.

Getting rid of anyone
who stood in their way.

Which could include us next.

Anyone interested
in doing a semester abroad?

Oh, so you're cool
with letting California

just drop into the Pacific?

Exploding hydrogen! Mutant fungus!

No, I... but...

[KAROLINA] Maybe we should just
slow down and ask for some help.

Things are always changing.
It has been ten years.

What if nothing's changed?

Alex is right. We have to do something.

Maybe we're in way over our heads,

but I think our parents are, too.

Mine definitely are.

As much as it pains me to say it,

Chase is also right.

We have to stop this. No one else will.

I guess that means
we're not going to the dance.

Probably would've had
a better chance at a refund

if I hadn't called Eiffel
a hateful bitch.

Oh, no, the dance is still on.
It's the perfect cover.

Then I regret nothing.

Let's meet there tonight.

[ALEX] Drive separately,

dress nice, lie to your parents. Good?

- Yeah.
- Good.

Frank.

Jonah. Thank you for
agreeing to meet with me.

Of course. What is it
you'd like to discuss?

Taking a more active role in the church,

perhaps teaching a few lessons?

Jonah, they say that knowledge is power,

and if that's the case,
I'm feeling very powerful...

because of the knowledge...

that I have.

I'm just connecting dots for you.

Thank you, Frank,
I'm managing to follow along.

So, tell me, what is it you know?

[GROANS]

Mom, what are you doing?

There's no need to involve the
housekeeper in any of this.

PRIDE doesn't have a cleaner?

I thought every group
of shadeball criminals had one.

I think my membership's been revoked

until your father's back on his feet.

Turns out they didn't
appreciate me for me.

And they seem like
such nice people otherwise.

Look at you!

Mom, if you want me
to stay and help, I will.

No, it's good for you to go out and
do some normal teenager stuff.

You wanna take a car?

Take any one you want 'cause
your dad's not here to say no.

You could take the Leapfrog.

I'm gonna take a Lyft,

but I just wanted to say...

goodbye.

You didn't even tell me
who you're taking as your date.

Eiffel or Karolina?

I know you guys have been
spending a lot of time together.

And the more time I spend with her,

the less I think she wants
to spend with me.

Sorry.

No, doesn't matter.

Dates are so heteronormative.

Really, since when?

- That's what Gert says.
- Ahh.

Most of the time,

I don't even know what the
hell she's talking about.

Apparently there are
a lot of ways to offend someone,

but once in a while,
she does make a good point.

Well, you go have fun.

Hey. Bye.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATES]

Hello?

[NICO] It's me.

"He found out. Leave the house now."

So, at least two other people
knew that Amy was in danger.

- Whoever warned her...
- And whoever k*lled her.

God, and all this time
we blamed ourselves.

And it was never su1c1de.
Someone did this.

The message says "he," so at least
we know it wasn't your mom.

...if that's what you were
thinking, not that I was.

What about your dad?

Kincaid? He knew Amy was hacking Wizard.

If he's not the one who found
out, maybe he sent the text.

No, she has him in her contacts.

This is from an unknown number.

Do you think that maybe Amy
reached out to someone in PRIDE,

like one of the parents?

[ROBERT] You guys are gonna be late!

Your mom and I wanna take
a couple pictures before you go!

Yeah, pictures would be great.

You do look really, really nice.

Ooh...

Aw, you think I look nice?

I think you look great.

Too bad I don't give a sh*t anymore.

This is just our cover.

Nico, you know how sorry I am.

And yet not nearly as sorry as I am.

This doesn't change anything.

Hi, Graciela, it's Dale and Stacey!

We knew Molly would be home
from school by now,

and we are just missing her.

I'm sorry, but Molly's not here.

Is she out with a friend?

Because she's already so popular?

[STACEY] Don't be ridiculous,
she's at dance practice,

because she's already the star
of the squad, right?


She's not here because she left.

Okay, uh, when?

- She was gone this morning.
- [STACEY] And you didn't call us?

- We trusted you with her.
- Yes, but I don't trust you.

That's absurd and offensive.

Gene and Alice obviously
didn't trust you, either,

or they would've left the key with you.

- What key?
- I don't know.

Look, I'm sorry,

but leave that poor girl alone.

She's been through enough.

Well, remind me never to leave

any of our other children in her care.

Gene and Alice didn't trust us?

They loved us.

They left us the ranch
because they wanted us

to have someplace to escape to.

But they also knew that we
might become compromised,

which we were.

So I think it was actually smart of them

to leave something with Graciela,

something only for Molly.

Smart? It means they knew we'd fail.

But it also means they knew
what we were up against,

because they were up against
it too, and they also failed.

The lab was destroyed in the fire.
Did anything survive?

Unknown caller.

- Answer it! It could be Molly!
- Hello.

[JONAH] I do hope I'm not interrupting.

I'd like a group meeting, my place. Now.

How was Molly's Day Off,

steal a sports car or lead a parade?

Pretty much.
I rode the trolley at the Grove,

checked out the Tar Pits,

grabbed a slice of razzleberry
pie at Marie Callendar's.

Thanks for hooking me up.

You brought her?!

Figured we'd need some backup

if we're gonna save the world tonight.

I missed you, girl! Hi!

Are we the first ones here?

Chase was in a while ago.

He went inside,
and he left me with this.

Maybe I'll give the Fistigons a try.

- Do not touch anything.
- Even the x-ray goggles?

Especially those.

Looks like the Lyft armada has arrived.

I think I'm gonna look for Chase.

You sure look pretty for a mission.

I had to keep the cover story.

I've never seen
that necklace or that dress.

- Is it for him?
- No!

Go get him. Live your truth.

- Aw, stop, just stop, please.
- [LAUGHING]

Hi, girl.

[KISSES]

Go back.

[INDISTINCT ROMANTIC MUSIC PLAYING]

♪ May I have this dance? ♪

♪ This is the great ♪

♪ I love you ♪

[MUSIC CONTINUES INDISTINCTLY]

Can you believe we were
ever a part of this?

[SIGHS] I never really was.

What do you mean?

You wouldn't understand.

No matter where you go,

or what you do, people see you.


When someone like me
walks through a door,

no one really turns my way.

Unless I just barfed
orange juice onto my shoes.

- I remember that.
- That was one day.

There were a hundred
when you didn't realize

I was standing right next to you.

What do you care?

You thought I was an idiot.

I never thought that.

I may have said that often and loudly,

but it was a defense mechanism...

'cause I felt ignored.

Looks like my
invisibility's contagious...

and that Brandon stole your life.

He can have it.

That life was bullshit.

As messed up as things are right now,

at least we know the truth,

who our friends are,

who our parents are.

It might suck, but it's real.

I think the boy just became a man.

About time, I guess, since tonight
may be our last night on earth.

Yeah.

Well, if that's how it is,
I'd like one last dance.

[GIGGLES]

I got it.

No one down here.

We must've missed them.

We should go.

- Mm-hmm.
- Mm-hmm.

I'm not sure I understand the urgency
of bringing us together like this.

In , in New York City,
after weeks of unrest

and rioting caused by young people,

the news began to run a phrase

at the beginning of every broadcast.

"It's : pm. Do you know
where your children are?"

- If this is another thr*at, we...
- It's not a thr*at.

It's a legitimate question.

They're at a school dance.

Yeah, Gert said they went as a group.

- And you believe them.
- Why wouldn't we?

[JONAH] Because they're liars.

They've been lying to you for weeks.

Molly.

She knows.

[JONAH] They all know.

On the night of the failed sacrifice,

your children witnessed everything.

They attempted to go to the police

and discovered the involvement
of the good Detective Flores,

so at the gala,
they hacked the Wizard server.

- Oh, my God.
- They've been conspiring

against you for weeks,

and certain members of our group...

Yorkses and Wilders,
I'm talking to you...

decided to protect Molly
by sending her away.

- Why didn't you say something?
- Oh, why do you think?

- To keep this assh*le from hurting her.
- [DALE] Okay.

How do you know all this?

Because one of you did the
right thing and came to me.

Don't look at me.

I'm not saying I wouldn't, but I didn't.

I didn't know.

Neither did I.

When Victor was dying on the floor...

I was not your first call.

When you found out about Molly,
you did not alert me.

When I handed you the serum
that cured Victor's brain tumor,

it was not returned to me.

I suspect it's undergoing
a battery of secret tests

in your lab as we speak.

- No...
- Yes.

There are many difficult
decisions ahead of us.

If you question
my leadership in any way,

the consequences shall be severe.

So, let me ask you again.

Where are your children?

[SIGH]

He took the gloves.

The drawer with the g*n is still locked.

Thank God.

But he took a keycard from my desk,

the one for the PRIDE construction site.

- Ooh...
- It's the third time already.

Everything okay?

The baby's sitting right on my bladder,

so no, everything's not okay.

Why we gotta come here all the time?

We need to think about eating healthy.

You can eat wherever you want.
Nobody asked you.

Well, it seems like
if I want to see you,

I gotta look for
a Wilder construction sign.

You got a real problem.

Why can't you just
let go of all that sh*t?

Because something's goin' on
here, somethin' big.

You gonna get yourself k*lled.

You almost did already.

And now Andre disappeared,
your whole crew busted up?

I'm not raising this kid alone.

Listen, I saw some sh*t, Tamar.

A girl that glows.

A little one that can lift an SUV.

This stick that... I really
don't even know what it did.

And a glove that makes... lightning.

You said you were off the dr*gs, D.

This better not be a cr*ck baby.

Geoffrey Wilder was always
one step ahead of everybody.

Always.

Now he's into something new.

I want to find out what it is...

and then I wanna take it from him.

So, I guess you're sleeping
in your car again tonight?

I won't be sleeping.

I'll see you when I see you.

I'm going to Steak 'n' Shake.

[STRAINED SIGH]

[ALEX] All right, everyone
double-check that your phone's off

so our parents can't find us
using WizKidTracker.

[NICO] The invention of which we can add

to the long list of evil things
my mom has done.

We're a long way from Brentwood.

Hey, it's okay, we got this.

- Chase, Fistigons?
- Got 'em.

- Staff?
- Done.

- How do you feel?
- Ready.

- Molly?
- I'm so good.

- What about my secret w*apon?
- Um, she stays in the car.

- For now.
- cr*ck the windows, though.

This is LA. If anybody sees
an animal in the car,

they'll call the cops,
even if it is a dinosaur.

And what are you bringing
to the party, Alex?

Access. Stolen from my dad.

Now, once we get in there,
we destroy as much as we can

as fast as we can, then we get out.

All right, I'm sure
that there's plenty of security.

Gonna need some help with that.

Best case scenario,

we don't get caught,
we don't have to fight.

When was the last time any of us
experienced a best case scenario?

Look, I know that it's been
a shitty couple of weeks.

- Understatement.
- But we're friends again,

and I didn't think we ever would be.

I wouldn't wanna save the
world with any other crew.

Let's go.

Hey, excuse me! Stop right there!

Um, hi, I'm Alex. I think you, uh,
know my dad, Geoffrey Wilder.

This, uh, is his site.

Wilder Construction's
not in charge anymore.

This site's being run
by the Church of Gibborim now.

Oh, maybe you should call my dad
and have him authorize it.

- [GUARD] Oh.
- [DARIUS] Oh ho!

[KAROLINA] We have a school
photography project.

He said it would be okay.

Now this just got interesting.

Karolina, uh, Miss Dean.

This is a nice surprise.

- What's your name?
- Carl.

Ah, well, it is a pleasure
to meet you, Carl,

but if you could just hurry,

- we have a lot of work to do.
- [ALEX] Yeah.

Waited to the last minute, huh?

- I was like that.
- [KAROLINA] Mm-hmm.

Do you need his number?

No, I have it.

[PHONE RINGING]

- This is Frank.
- Hate to bother you, Mr. Dean,

but this is Carl
down at the construction site.


Your daughter is here,

and she said something
about a school project?

Wants to get into the site.

I'm sure it's okay,

but, uh, I just felt like
I should check.


She has a bunch of friends with her.

[FRANK] I really appreciate you
calling, Carl.

I should've let you know in advance,

but the day just...
got away from me a little bit.

Please just let her
and her friends on the site

and facilitate whatever they need.

- Happy to do it.
- Thanks, Carl. You're the best.

I think the church is going to thrive

under your leadership, Frank.

You're good. Let's go.

[MOLLY] Whoa.

[ALEX] This is gonna be
tougher than I thought.

[GERT] One step at a time.

Let's find a way
to shut this down for good.

My dad created this thing.
Maybe I can find the controls.

Molly, Karolina, let's see if we
can move one of these trucks.

- [MOLLY] To where?
- There!

I'll keep watch, shield you guys
if something goes wrong.

Let's go.

[ALEX] Over here!

What is this, an on-off switch?

'Cause that's about all
you could manage.

Are you mad at me about
what happened between us?

What, that we had sex in the
middle of the Tennenbaum wedding

and didn't even stop to talk about
it or define the relationship?

That was an hour ago,

and now we're trying to prevent

California from dropping into the ocean!

I'm not saying what happened
wasn't also important...

It wasn't. It... if it
was just a one-time thing.

It was?

Of course.

It was hormones. We're teenagers,

driven by biological imperative
to propagate the species.

Okay, well, I'm not sure
what you just said,

but, come on, let's just
focus on the mission.

Fine.

[GRUNTING]

- [MOLLY] [GROAN]
- [KAROLINA] Come on, Molly!

Aw, this thing isn't recognizing me.

It must only be for authorized users.

But this drill is a dangerous
piece of equipment.

There's gotta be some
sort of emergency system

that cuts the power.

Or not.

You mean something like that?
Should I press it?

I have a better idea.

Stand back.

[LAUGHING]

Come on!

- Come on! Molly!
- Oh, jeez.

[MOLLY] [GROANING]

[GERT] Molly, you can do it!

Molly, come on, you got this!

[ALEX] Come on, Molly, here we go!

- Come on, keep pushing!
- [SCREAMS]

[ALL] Whoa!

[ALEX] Wow, that is one deep-ass hole.

[GERT] Where are the guards?

Fill the hole!

Stuck around for more lessons, I
would've shown you how to do that.

- It's time to come home, son.
- I'm not going anywhere with you!

[CATHERINE] Alex, please.

[LESLIE] We know you have
a lot of questions.

You mean like how could
you m*rder kids?

[LESLIE] We promise you everything
we've done, we've done for you.

How can you even say that!

- Because it's true.
- We love you.

You guys don't get it.

We're not on the same side anymore.

Sides? There aren't any sides.

We're a family.

We are a family.

And we'll fight you if we have to!

Holy...

...sh*t.

Did you know about this?

No.

But it's what I was afraid of.
