01x19 & 01x20 - Absolute Power, Part 1 & 2

[bunniefuu]

[ Insects singing ]

[ Rapid footsteps ]

[ Rustling ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

I think I lost him.

Ultimate Kevin: Think again.

Kevin, don't!

It's me, Alan!

Ultimate Kevin: I know.

What did I ever do to you?

Ultimate Kevin: You have

something I need.

Ugh!

I'm made of fire.

I don't have anything else

on me.

Ultimate Kevin: It's mine!

Whatever you're looking for,

I swear, I don't have it.

Ultimate Kevin: All mine!

More.

Ultimate Kevin: Goodbye,

Alan.

Nrg: Enough, Kevin!

Ultimate Kevin: Let me go,

Tennyson!

Nrg: Um, no?

Alan, can you hear me?

[ Moans ]

[ Rustling ]

Ultimate Kevin: I want your

power.

Nrg: Yes. Come and get it.

Ultimate Kevin: I'm gonna

cr*ck you like an egg.

Nrg: Let go of me!

Ultimate Kevin: Shouldn't

have let you go.

You were doing me a favor.

Only one of us is walking away

from us, Tennyson... and it's

not gonna be...

Alan!

Your time is coming, Tennyson.

[ Moans ]

En: You're gonna be okay.

No, I'm not.

None of us are.

I got off easy.

You should have seen what he did

to the others.

Ben: Pierce? Helen?

And Manny.

And some guy named Dr. Vicktor.

I didn't understand what Kevin

wanted from us until now.

Ben: Your energy.

And he's never gonna stop...

unless I stop him.

For good.

Gwen: No, I won't help you.

Ben: If you won't use your

powers to track him down, I'll

just go find him myself.

Gwen: But it's Kevin!

Ben: Wake up and smell the

end of the world, Gwen... he's

out of control.

Gwen: He's our friend.

Ben: Was our friend.

Gwen: We'll figure out some

way to save him.

Ben: He's too far gone.

Either we save Kevin, or we save

the world.

Gwen: I won't let you hurt

him.

Ben: Out of my way.

Gwen: He's come out of this

kind of thing before.

Remember what he was like when

he was little?

Ben: Do you?

He's worse now than he ever was,

and you know it.

Gwen: There has to be

something we can do.

Ben: He's beyond our help.

We have to think about the

safety of everyone else.

Gwen: I'm not letting

you out.

Ben: Yes, you are.

Chromastone: Chromastone!

Gwen: I won't let you do

this!

Chromastone: Go back inside,

Gwen!

There's no way you can b*at

chromastone with your kind of

powers!

Gwen: Think so?

Facio Gravis!

Now you'll stay here.

Chromastone: Yeah?

What do u think Kevin's doing

while you're wasting my time?

Gwen: Tabesco Caix!

Terraspin: Terraspin!

If you think for one second that

Kevin wouldn't drain you dry...

Gwen: Some friend you are.

You won't even try to help him.

What if it was you?

Terraspin: I'm not going to

argue with you anymore, Gwen.

Gwen: Tardus Motus!

Nrg: Nrg!

Gwen: Ben?

Nanomech: Nanomech!

I dodged between the lava

droplets.

Gwen: Cloudo Doris!

Nanomech: Aah!

Gwen: Game over, cousin.

Check and mate.

Waybig.

Ben: You know why you lost?

Because you care
about not hurting me.

And that's exactly why you can't

do what it takes to deal with

Kevin.

[ Pounding, screaming ]

Lodestar: Kevin Levin.

Where do I find him?

I said, where is he?

[ Pounding, screaming ]

Gwen: I'm sorry to bother you

while you're still recovering,

grandpa.

Max: I'm always glad to see

you, Gwen.

Anyway, I don't have a lot to do

in this re-gen tube but float

and heal.

Gwen: We can't let Ben

destroy Kevin.

We've got to find a way to cure

him.

Max: Ben is right.

Gwen: I know, he...

wait, what?

Max: You are a plumber, Gwen.

A lot of people are depending on

you.

You've got to put your feelings

aside and do what's right.

Gwen: This is Kevin we're

talking about.

Max: If you can't be a

professional, then just stay out

of the way and let Ben do what

needs to be done.

Gwen: But, grandpa...

Max: I can't help you, Gwen.

Gwen: Then I'll find someone

who can.

[ Breathing heavily ]

[ Sniffing ]

[ Chewing noisily ]

Gwen: Look at you.

I never thought I'd see you like

this...

Michael.

You're not catching me at my

best.

Perhaps if you'd bothered to

call first before just dropping

by.

Gwen: It took a lot of going

through police reports to find

your hunting area.

Hard to believe you've been

reduced to draining energy out

of dogs in back alleys.

We all do what we must to

survive.

Where's Tennyson?

Gwen: He's busy.

And Levin?

Gwen: Busier.

Enough with the chit-chat.

Your manna.

It's as intoxicating as ever,

lovely Gwen.

You think I'm defeated?

I...

I can still...

Gwen: I'm not here to fight

you, Michael.

I'm here to help you.

Restituo Navitas.

Argh!

Gwen: Vis penetro intus.

No!

Gwen: Vigoratus per vita.

Why would you do this for me?

Gwen: Because...

I need your help.

[ Communicator beeps ]

Ben: I'm done talking, Gwen.

Max: I'm not Gwen.

But we are gonna talk about her.

Ben: She couldn't convince

me, so she ran to you.

Max: Something like that.

Ben: You agree with her?

Max: No. Kevin's a menace.

Your friendship aside, the only

responsible move is to take him

down with all necessary force.

Ben: Then I don't understand

why you're talking to me.

Max: It's the logical move.

It's the safest move.

It's the sensible move.

Ben: But?

Max: It's not the Ben move.

You trust people.

You give them second chances.

And they live up to your

expectations.

Kevin was a sociopath when you

were kids, but you trusted him

anyway.

Ben: And look how that worked

out.

Max: He's turned into a fine

young man.

A hero a dozen times over.

Ben: But now he's a monster.

Max: True.

And I'd put him down like a mad

dog.

But I never thought you would.

You always find another way.

Ben: Not this time.

When I thought you were dead, I

had to do a lot of growing up.

Max: You did fine.

Ben: For a while.

But then I let my fame go to my

head.

I've been as big a jerk these

past few months as I ever was.

Aren't you gonna argue with me?

Max: Not when you're right.

Ben: I've had fun, but I

always told myself that when the

situation got serious, so

would I.

Max: I'm not going to argue

with you, Ben.

I just wanted to make sure you'd

really thought about this.

Ben: I have, grandpa.

I'm sorry about what's going to

happen to Kevin.

Really, I am.

But this isn't kid stuff

anymore.

Playtime's over.

[ Footsteps approaching ]

Humongousaur: [ Roars ]

Why do you keep following me

around?!

Humongousaur: You've done

business with Kevin before.

Sure, you know I have.

He really puts himself into his

work.

If you know what I mean.

And I think you do.

Humongousaur: Where is he?!

Watch it!

I'm still paying for this!

Humongousaur: Answer me!

Not the arms!

They're the hardest parts to

replace!

They're always on backorder!

Humongousaur: I am not

playing games, Vulkanus.

Where is Kevin?!

Even if I knew, I wouldn't

tell you.

You didn't say please.

Toodle-oo!

Nobody likes a bully, you know!

Humongousaur: Stop holding

out on me, Vulkanus!

Spill!

[ Sputtering ]

Oh, if you keep it up, I'm gonna

[ belches ]

Humongousaur: Huh?

Gwen!

Gwen: Let him go, Ben.

You tell him, sister.

Gwen: Just listen for a

second, will you?

Humongousaur: Out of my way,

Gwen.

I'm gonna find Kevin, no matter

what it takes.

You'll never find him, but I

can.

Humongousaur: What are you

doing here?!

Why, I'm merely offering you

my assistance with your osmosian

dilemma.

Isn't that right, lovely Gwen?

Gwen: Don't push it, Michael.

Ben: You brought Darkstar

into this?

And he's going to act like he's

our friend again, right?

Gwen: He's the only one who

can help Kevin.

Ben: Sure.

But I can help, because you

don't understand Kevin, and

i do.

Ben: You're making even less

sense than usual.

Gwen: Shh! Give him a chance.

I can help you, Tennyson,

because I can predict Kevin's

next move.

Kevin and I are the same.

Ben: Uh-huh, you're both

evil.

We both have an insatiable

craving for energy.

Ben: And you're evil.

Gwen: Kevin's not evil.

Somewhere deep down, he's still

our friend.

No, lovely Gwen, he's not

your friend anymore.

He just looks like him.

He's...

An empty shell, knowing only a

hunger that must be fed.

That craving is his weakness.

Gwen: Michael has a plan to

cure Kevin.

Ben: I already don't like it.

When the Dominus librium was

destroyed, I managed to save a

piece of it.

Ben: The energy-absorption

thing you used to cure Kevin

before?

Precisely.

Ben: Great!

Unfortunately, it no longer

works.

Ben: Great.

But with a large enough power

source, we may still be able to

tap into its inherent abilities.

Ben: You're kidding me,

right?

Gwen's already wasted enough

time trying to find a cure for

Kevin.

It's too late for that.

Every moment he's on the loose

is a moment too long.

Now, for the last time, are you

going to help me find Kevin?!

'Cause if not, whatever else he

does, it's on your head.

Ultimate Kevin: [ Muttering ]

Gwen: Kevin?

Ultimate Kevin: Bad idea,

Gwen.

Gwen: What is?

Ultimate Kevin: Tracking me

here.

Gwen: I had to.

Ben's after you.

Ultimate Kevin: You brought

him here?!

Gwen: No, I came so we could

talk.

You and me.

Ultimate Kevin: Yeah?

Gwen: Yeah.

Ben is gonna do whatever it

takes to stop you.

Do you understand?

Whatever it takes.

But I've come up with a way to

help you.

If you just trust me, I really

think I can cure you.

Ultimate Kevin: [ Groaning ]

You shouldn't have come here!

Don't you realize I've been

trying to stay away from you?!

Gwen: Why?

Ultimate Kevin: Because I

knew what I'd do to you if I had

the chance.

Gwen: Incendia absum!

Don't make me hurt you, Kevin.

Ultimate Kevin: Give it your

best sh*t.

Gwen: Silicis Miles

suscitatio!

Ultimate Kevin: You summoned

Charmcaster's pet monsters?

I got to say, I'm impressed.

Gwen: I'm so sorry I had to

do this to you.

Ultimate Kevin: Thanks, Gwen.

And I didn't get you anything.

Gwen: [ Gasps ]

Ultimate Kevin: Hello, lovely

Gwen.

Gwen: [ Screams ]

Gwen: [ Strained ] Kevin!

Stop! You're hurting me!

Kevin: This is your fault.

You could have helped me with

your magic.

Gwen: No! I tried to...

Kevin: You tried.

Everybody tried.

But here I am, a monster, and if

I look the part, why shouldn't I

act it?

Gwen: I'm here to help you

now!

Kevin: Help yourself.

Gwen: [ Screams ]

Punctum contego!

Kevin, please!

Talk to me!

Kevin: I'm coming for you,

Gwen.

Gwen: Abeo exorior!

Ben: Thought we were gonna

have to come in after you.

Gwen: Not quite.

I suggest we prepare

ourselves for what's coming

next...And quickly.

Gwen: It didn't work,

Michael.

Kevin's just as dangerous as

ever.

Ben: Huh.

And I thought for sure you'd be

able to just talk him out of his

mindless revenge spree.

It worked perfectly, lovely

Gwen.

Levin has had a taste of your

power.

He's going to want more.

Ben: Okay, she's the bait.

What's the hook?

I still don't get it.

What's supposed to happen when

Kevin gets here?

I think that's where I come

in.

Ben: Do I know y...

Cooper?

I had a growth spurt.

Gwen: Yes, you did.

Hi, Gwen.

Always glad to, uh, y-you know,

help out.

Our twitterpated young genius

has agreed to help build a

machine that will allow us to

use the powers inherent in this.

Ben: The Dominus librium

again?

Still a bad plan.

Gwen: If they can get it

working, we can use it to cure

Kevin, just like last time.

Ben: And if it doesn't work?

You already know the answer,

Tennyson.

There is but one way to deal

with a mad dog.

Gwen: But it's not going to

come to that.

It's going to work.

I'll do everything I can,

Gwen.

Ben: It's obvious why

Cooper's helping.

You, not so much.

The same as always,

Tennyson... power.

Gwen: I promised him manna,

Ben.

If he helps, I'll give him

enough to keep him at full

strength for a year.

Ben: Yeah.

Great plan all around.

Gwen: It was the only way to

save Kevin.

Ben: We are way past that,

Gwen.

Gwen: No.

All we have to do is...

Ben: There's no "we."

Not this time.

I'm the one who put Kevin in the

position where he had to absorb

that energy.

It's my fault that he's lost

control.

And everything he's done since,

all those people he's hurt, al

those people he's going to hurt,

that's my fault, too.

Gwen: You got to let me try.

Ben: I will, but only because

i know you're going to fail.

Paradox already told us how this

one was going to end... I'm

going to do what needs to be

done.

If you can get Kevin to come

here, fine.

It's as good a place as any to

end this.

How long before that thing's

ready?

Um, a couple of hours?

Ben: You think we can delay

Kevin anywhere near that long?!

Um...Less?

Ben: In one hour, you get one

sh*t.

Then Kevin belongs to me.

Kevin: Gwen!

I know you're in there.

I can smell your manna

everywhere.

Max: She can't come out right

now.

Can I help you?

Kevin: Unless you want

another trip to the hospital,

old man, you'll step aside.

Max: Not before we talk.

Kevin: We got nothing to talk

about.

Move or die!

Max: Your call.

Kevin: [ Grunting ]

Oof!

Max: Sorry it had to end like

this, kid.

Kevin: Not as sorry as you're

about to be.

You think that's gonna save you?

I've had enough of your tricks!

Max: Too bad.

I'm just getting started.

[ Tires screech ]

Fire!

Kevin: Aaaah!

[ Groans ]

Max: Aah!

Kevin: Don't know why I ever

looked up to you.

You don't even have any power to

steal.

Put him down, Kevin.

Kevin: You don't tell me what

to do!

I said, "put him down"!

Are you listening to me, son?

Kevin: You're not my real

father!

You don't tell me what to do!

Max: [ Grunts ]

You're right... I'm not.

But you were years old when I

married your mother, and I

raised you like my own.

Kevin: So?

So?

So you're going to listen.

Kevin: You got nothing to say

to me!

You've tried to take my real

dad's place, you convince my ma

to kick me out on the street

when I was years old.

We didn't kick you out,

Kevin.

You demolished our house!

Kevin: Whatever.

If ma really loved dad, she

would have never remarried.

You watch your mouth.

Your mother loved your late

father more than she loved me,

and you more than either one of

us.

Kevin: Step aside, Harvey.

I'm here to see Gwen.

So you can drain her powers?

Max told me what you've been

doing.

I'm not gonna let this happen

again.

Kevin: How are you gonna stop

me?

You hiding my ma in there?

No. I'd never let her see you

this way.

She was so proud of what you

were becoming.

I won't let you break her heart

again.

Kevin: [ Grunts ]

I'm not afraid of you

anymore, Kevin.

Ben: I'll take it from here,

Mr. Hackett.

Kevin: Figured you were

around here somewhere, Tennyson.

Ben: Yeah.

Gwen had this plan where we'd

all talk to you, and you'd see

the error of your ways.

Kevin: Sounds like Gwen, all

right.

Ben: But you and I know

better.

We both know there's only one

thing you understand.

Big chill: Big chill!

Kevin: [ Grunts ]

Big chill: Good sh*t.

But I suppose that's cold

comfort.

[ Inhales ]

[ Exhales ]

Ben: I'm sorry I had to do this

to you, Kev... ungh!

Kevin: Always so sure you're

gonna win.

What do you got to say for

yourself now?

Ben: [ Weakly ] Spidermonkey.

Kevin: Ungh!

Where are you, Tennyson?!

Oof!

Spidermonkey: It's going,

going, gone!

That's Tennyson's th home run

this season!

Kevin: Tennyson!

Spidermonkey: May have to

call that a ground-rule double.

[ Shrieks ]

Kevin: Aah!

Max: Ben!

Spidermonkey: Uh, sorry,

grandpa.

Gwen: What are you doing?!

Spidermonkey: I said I was

sorry.

Anyway, you're supposed to be

hiding.

Gwen: And you're supposed to

be delaying him, not dropping

r. V.S on his head!

Spidermonkey: Uh, actually,

it was the other way around.

I know what the plan was, but

since I already b*at him, we

don't need the plan.

Kevin: Gwen?

Spidermonkey: Quick... what

was that plan again?

[ Panting ]

Kevin: You're in my way,

Tennyson.

Spidermonkey: [ Screeching ]

Max: Ben!

Ben: So, how's the plan

working?

Gwen: Like a charm.

Can you call me back?

I'm a little busy.

[ Grunts ]

Okay, I ditched him for a

minute.

Ben: You sure this is how you

want to play it?

Gwen: It's how you want to

play it, too.

Just let me try.

If we fail, then...

Look, we won't fail.

Kevin's a good man.

We have to trust that.

[ Truck horn blaring ]

Ben: What's happening?

[ Tires screech ]

Ben: Gwen? Gwen?!

Gwen: Run.

Kevin: I'm starting to think

you're deliberately avoiding me.

Gwen: Kevin, you're not well.

Think about what you're doing.

Kevin: I'm getting revenge on

anybody who ever did me wrong,

and I'm stealing your powers

because I want them.

I'd say I'm pretty clearheaded.

Gwen: Tempestas serrectum!

Stay back, Kevin!

Kevin: I'm not afraid of you.

Gwen: You should be.

Tempestas impetus!

Kevin: Aaaaah!

Ah, thanks for the pick-me-up.

Gwen: [ Grunts ]

I still believe in you, Kevin.

Ben: That's where we differ.

[ Omnitrix beeping ]

Echo echo: Echo echo!

Kevin: [ Grunts ]

Get off of me!

Echo echo: Wall of sound!

[ Screeching ]

Kevin: Aaaah!

Echo echo: Oh, no!

Kevin, you wouldn't!

[ Screams ]

Kevin: Now, where were we?

Gwen: [ Grunting ]

Ship!

Ship! Ship!

Gwen: Slow down, ship.

We don't want Kevin to catch us,

but we don't want to lose him,

either.

Ship! Ship!

Gwen: I can't believe how

hard Ben was fighting.

He was really trying to hurt

Kevin.

Julie: Kind of looked the

other way around to me.

You're sure he's okay?

Gwen: This is Ben we're

talking about.

Echo echo: Luckily, I always

keep a spare in the trunk.

That should be enough of a head

start.

[ Cellphone rings ]

This is Cooper. Go ahead.

Gwen: We're almost there, and

Kevin's right behind.

We're not ready, Gwen!

We will be.

I can finish from here.

Just slow him down.

How am I supposed to delay

Kevin?

This is an abandoned m*llitary

base.

Think.

Kevin: [ Grunts ]

That's it. I'm out.

Jie: Are you sure about

this?

Gwen: Not really.

Ship?

Gwen: This is the only way to

save him.

Go!

Kevin: What's it gonna be

this time, Gwen?

You gonna run, or you gonna

fight?

You stay away from her!

Aaaah!

Kevin: Trying to make time

with my girl, huh?

Aaaah!

Ben?

Ultimate echo echo: Yeah,

it's me.

This is a new one.

[ Whispering ]

Do it!

Kevin: You are really

starting to bug me.

Ultimate echo echo: I'm sorry

about that, but I can't let you

hurt anyone else.

Gwen: Ben, you promised we'd

try it my way first.

Ultimate echo echo: Yeah, I

lied.

Kevin: Aaaah!

I've had it with you,

Tennyson... always b*ating me

when we were kids, everything

always going your way!

I get turned into a freak, you

become a world-famous superhero!

Ultimate echo echo: I don't

even like being famous.

Between you and me, I wish I had

my secret identity back.

Kevin: My heart bleeds for

you.

Now you just bleed!

Ultimate echo echo:

[ Grunting ]

Kevin: Nice.

But I've got all your powers.

Sooner or later, you're gonna

make a mistake, and that will be

the last time.

Ultimate echo echo: I'll try

to make this as quick and

painless as I can.

Sonic doom!

Kevin: Aaaaaah!

Ultimate echo echo: One more

should do it.

Gwen: Ben, don't!

He's our friend!

Ultimate echo echo: He was

going to hurt you.

Gwen: It's not Kevin.

It's the power.

It's not his fault!

Ultimate echo echo: Paradox

said I was the one who will do

what has to be done.

I got to!

Gwen: Then do it.

Protect the innocent... that's

Kevin, too.

Ben: You better be right.

That's it.

We're ready to go.

Gwen: Are you sure it will

work?

Pretty sure.

I mean...Yes.

[ Machine hums ]

Kevin: [ Screaming ]

Aaaah!

[ Machine powers down ]

Gwen: Kevin!

[ Laughs ]

You pathetic imbeciles!

This was my plan from the

beginning!

The power is mine!

Nothing can stop me now!

Ben: Like everybody didn't

see that coming.

[ Beep ]

No!

What...Happened?

Ben: All the power you stole

and all the power Kevin stole,

it just went back to where it

belongs.

Kevin: And that's the least

of your problems.

Nice work, kid.

Gwen: You saved his life!

[ Gasps ]

Ben figured out Darkstar's plan

and told me what to do.

Kevin: Hey, since you're

kissing people...

Ben: Now, that's what I call

a happy ending.

I guess.

Max: You don't know the half

of it.

We expected heatblast and the

others to get their powers

back...

Julie: But even the energy

Aggregor stole went back where

it belongs.

And returned us from

oblivion.

Thank you, Ben Tennyson.

Ben: Wasn't me this time.

It was all of us.

Kevin: Listen, uh, when I

was, uh, out of control, I said

some things...

Ben: No need to apologize.

We're both kind of jerks.

That's why we get along.

Gwen: I'm not a jerk.

Ben: Good point.

If I were you, I'd apologize.

Kevin: Yeah, well, if I were

you, I wouldn't have been such

a wuss!

Ben: Wuss?!

Kevin: If you ever lost it

like I d, I would have taken

you down right away.

Ben: And if I had, you

wouldn't be here to call me a

wuss!

Kevin: So it worked out

great.

Gwen: Who wants to go with me

and help explain to my folks

what happened to their house?

Kevin: Mr. smoothie?

Ben: You buying?
