01x04 - Kevin's Big Score

[bunniefuu]

[sniffs ]

Ha!

[ crunch ]

[slurps ]
Mmm.

[slurps ]

[ belches ]

[engine revs ]

[engine shuts off]

Kevin, buddy.

I've been waiting like an hour.

I said I'd be here,
and I'm here, Argit.

What's your proposition?

Aww,
why you gotta be such a downer?

After all we've been through.

Ain't ya glad to see your old
runnin' buddy?

[engine turns over]

No, wait.

I got that tech you're
looking for.

What makes you think
I'm looking for anything?

Oh, come on, Kev.

Octagon Friedle says you've been
vid-messaging

all the
underground swappers.

You're in the market for a
specific primo machino.

And I got it.

For real?

Oh, now you're listening --

now that I can
do something for you.

You are so off my contact list,
man.

[engine revs ]

Come on, Argit.

You've b*rned me on so many
deals so many times,

it makes me
forget how tight we really are.

Kev, buddy.

I can't stay mad at you.

[ chuckles ]
Not when there's money involved.

So...let's see it.

Uh...

I don't actually got it got it.

Aw, come on!

But I can make the connection
with the guy who does.

I have to warn you, though --
it's gonna cost ya.

[laughs ]

Hey, Ben. Look.

It's us in front of the old
Rust Bucket.

[laughs ]

That's so like Grandpa Max to
lose one dumper,

then run out
and find another.

That whole summer was
incredible.

Remember, Gwen?

Hero time, all the time.

Kevin was still a bad guy.

Kevin:
Let it go, Tennyson.

I know you're here to keep an
eye on me.

It's sweet that you
wanted to fix up Rust Bucket .

Not yet.

Ben:
Still not buying the
"nice guy" act, Kevin.

Ben...

[ beeps twice]

Okay, I'm gonna try
the engine.

[engine turns over]

Go, Kevin!

[tires screech ]

Ugh!

Come back, Kevin!

Ben!

[ beep]

Big Chill!

[engine revs, tires screech ]

[ beeping ]

[ beeping quickens ]

[exhales deeply]

[tires screeching ]

Aaah!

Ugh!
[ beep]

[exhales deeply]

Aaaaaaah!

[ beep]

[trees crunching ]

[tires screech ]

Nice try, but tonight, you're
minding your own business.

[ beeping ]

[tires screech ]

[electricity crackling ]

Ugh!

He got away.

Whoa.

I mean...oh, no!

How could I have let my
guard down?

He's a liar and a thief!

That was the old Kevin.

He's different now.

And we're different, too.

I can track him from this.

You kept his sweaty
handkerchief?

Got him.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah. Yeah.

All right.

It's a bucket of bolts, man.

[ beep]

[ beep]

Like I said --
a bucket of bolts.

But the aftermarket extras are
worth a fortune.

Think your guy will
take it?

Oh, yeah.

If he ever got the chance.

[ rapid whooshing ]

Aah!

Ugh!
[grunting ]

I can't move.

Oh, sorry, Kev.

See, this haul's worth enough
cashola to pay off everybody

I owe and finally live a little.

Ugh!

The Rust Bucket's all I have to
bargain with.

You should have held out on
me, buddy.

[door slams ]

When you can walk again,
you go see him --

a tech dealer named
Volcanus.

He says he knows you.

[engine turns over]

Says he wants you dead.

[tires squeal ]

Aah!

[grunts ]

[grunts ]

[grunts ]

[tires screech ]

Now, I know this looks bad.

Bad? Bad?!

If you don't get the Rust Bucket
back, I'll show you bad!

Doubt it.

What happens when this is all over
and grandpa comes home?

Where's he gonna live then?

Do I have to separate
you two?

He stole grandpa's home.

What kind of jerk steals an old
man's home?

One with a very good reason.

Right?

Yeah,
this is important.

Important to you.

One second.

[ beeping ]

You hid a tracking
device in the undercarriage.

Like I'd let anybody swipe a fortune

in Plumber tech
from me.

[engine shuts off]

[ beeping ]

Stripped!

Great.

So where's your fortune, Kevin?

What's this worth --
bucks?

Ugh!

We are supposed to be keeping
the planet safe

from an alien invasion,

and we can't keep a
motor home from being stolen?

Drop it.

Don't walk away from me!

[scoffs ]

Is this where you turn into an
alien and try to kick my butt?

I'm considering it.

[doorknob rattles ]

Shh!

[whistles ]

Score!

I knew I missed something.

[gasps ]

Uh-oh.

[ beep]

Echo Echo.

Don't let him get away.

No equals.

[ high-pitched whining ]

Ugh!

Hi.

[ high-pitched whining ]

Oof!

[ rapid whooshing ]

No! No!

Watch out!

Don't warn him!

[ rapid whooshing ]

Ugh!

No --
you watch out.

Oh.

[groans ]

[groans ]

Wall of sound!

[ rapid whooshing ]

[groans ]

[groaning ]

What?

[grunting ]

[quills creaking ]

Echo Echo:
I superglued them
to your head.

Everybody awake?

[snoring ]

Hmm. Close enough.

[ yawning ]

So, let's get this straight.

I'll give it to you straight.

You cannot trust that man.

Me?

Argit:
Do you know what
he was gonna do?

Steal your motor home and sell
it to another criminal.

Thank goodness I stopped him.

By stealing it yourself.

Yeah.

Yeah, I may be a crook,
but this guy's no good.

You can't trust him.

He'll s*ab you in the back just
for laughs.

Thanks, buddy.

This creep's got a point.

You're always up to something.

Self-serving, shifty, always
working some kind of angle.

Always a thief.

Well?

What do you have to say for
yourself?

You know what,
Tennyson --

I don't have to
explain myself to you.

Or you either.

I'm done with both of you!

Ugh!

[aliens chattering ]

[ chattering continues ]

Take me to the boss.

I hear you're looking for me,
Volcanus.

Well, here I am.

Volcanus:
Kevin Levin.

I can't decide whether to trade
with you or tear you to pieces.

Remember that

counterfeit-isotope scam a few
years back?

Yyyyyeah.

Sorry about that.

You left me holding the bag

and at the mercy
of the Plumbers.

I escaped,
but now I'm stuck on Earth,

swapping level tech to get by --
thanks to you.

Ancient history.

I'm here to make a deal.

I have the Plumber
gadget you want.

What'll you give me for it?

Look, completely straight --

I had this stash of Plumber's
technology, but I lost it.

You want to owe me?

Tell me what I have to
do to get it.

Huh?

Kneel.

Ugh!

[grunting ]

First, you're going to pay me
back for the double-cross.

Kevin:
I...can't...stop...
absorbing.

Because I don't
want you to.

You're recursively absorbing a
piece of taedenite,

the rarest, most precious living
gem in the galaxy.

[scraping ]

[grunting ]

This is the only piece of
taedenite

in this
spiral of the milky way.

Or it was...
until you came along.

You're garbage!

Aaah!

[aliens chattering ]

Volcanus:
You owe me.

I'm gonna take it out of your hide,

then sell you off,
piece by piece.

And I'm gonna do it forever.

Do what you want to me...

But Ben Tennyson gets that
Holoviewer.

[laughs ]

You're in a bad position
to make demands.

Big Chill:
He would be,
if he were alone.

But he's with us.

You followed me?

That whole
"get mad and storm off" act?

Please.

You have friends?!

Had friends.

Ugh!

[aliens chattering ]

Ugh!

Good way to break
your hand.

Told you so.

You wouldn't even be fighting if
you knew what he did to me.

He stole.

He ran.

That's Kevin.

Argh!

Ugh!

[aliens chattering ]

[aliens whimpering ]

[growls ]

I'm the injured
party here.

When the Plumbers came after me,
they blew up my ship!

[exhales deeply]

Ugh!

W-w-what are you doing?

Gwen:
Kevin!

You all right?

[groans ]

Easy.

Hey, what about him?

Volcanus:
[laughing ]

What about him?

We're even.

Wait.

That's what you were after?

Another Holoviewer?

I hear this one's
special.

Why didn't you tell me?

Think about it --
I'm an ex-con.

I've done a lot of stuff I'm not
proud of --

stuff that if you knew, you'd
probably never trust me again.

So, next time
I say "drop it," drop it.

That's not how it
works, Kevin.

It's not what you did that
matters

but what you're
going to do.

Uh-huh.

You gonna look at that?

[ beep]

Ben, if you found this message,
you must be in pretty deep.

There's a lot I can't reveal yet,

but here's one thing I can --
you can't go it alone.

By now, you're probably
meeting some

of the other Plumbers' kids.

But you have to find more.

You need to put together a team.
