01x04 - Rage's Burning Wheel

[bunniefuu]

This should be all the proof
washington needs.

Millions of dollars
in aid is lining

The pockets of panagua's
finance minister.

The guards will be looking
for a skeleton,

Not a businessman.

Daddy.

Karla, abby?

What are you
two doing here?

We flew down from miami
to join you for the fiesta.

Surprised?

Well,
i...floored.

But you're
a little late.

My business here
in panagua's over.

Oh, well,
that's a relief.

Then we can enjoy
the fiesta together.

Yes, come on, daddy.

Listen, munchkin,
it's too crowded.

Why don't we all just
go back to the hotel

And have a quiet
game of bingo?

But I wanna see
the skeletons.

Karla, wait.

Zeke, what's wrong?

Let's go.

There are even scarier
skeletons back at the hotel.

Really?

Would I lie to you?

That's him.

Karla, run, run!

Don't tell me.

Your company sold
the panaguan government

Some defective
computer equipment.

I'm afraid computer sales
is just a cover, abby.

I actually work
for the government.

You mean...?

Daddy's a spy,
right, daddy?

Well, you're right,
karla, daddy's a spy.

Now, how was
school today?

Don't look at me
like that, abby.

I was gonna
tell you.

I was just waiting
for the right time.

Falcon, this is raven.

I need backup,
and I need it now.

Repeat, this is raven.

I need backup.

It's zeke.

What's his status?

The guy's horse meat.

He's got half the panaguan
army on his tail.

So, what are we
waiting for?

Let's get him out.

Not without orders
to intervene.

And I mean direct orders
from the pentagon.

Falcon, come in.

Don't fly south
on me now, guys.

I need help.

Falcon, I've got
hatchlings with me.

Do you copy?

I'll get us out of this,
now have some faith.

You heard me
right, falcon.

Do not attempt
to intervene.

This country cannot afford
an international incident there.

But sir...

I repeat, boy,
the raven is on his own.

Falcon, I've got hatchlings
in the nest.

And if anything
happens to them,

I swear, there'll be
no place you can hide.

I'll hunt you
down like dogs!

Easy, jonny,
stay on the road.

Oh, race,
don't blame me.

It's this new mexican
goat trail.

Jonny, look out.

Hang on.

Everybody okay?

See, jess, I do brake
for lizards.

Lucky for you.

These are
fringe-toed lizards.

They're endangered.

Not anymore
they're not.

Keys, please.

Fringe-toed lizards are
usually only found

In california's
coachella valley.

Do you think that's what brought
dr. Smallwood out here?

No, jessie, it wasn't
fringe-toed lizards.

It was solitude.

Hugo got tired of all
that big-city hustle.

He's a naturalist
and this is nature.

But that bat creature
he told you about

Sounds almost
supernatural, dad.

Maybe he's been
on his own too long.

Believe me, if hugo smallwood
says he saw something

Strange in those caverns
then it definitely exists.

I believe it.

And we'll find it,
whatever it is.

Perhaps we should've
called from carlsbad.

Dr. Smallwood doesn't
believe in phones.

We just have to hope
our letter arrived.

It's right here,
in his sketchbook.

Whoa, the doc's
a pretty cool artist.

Hey, that looks like
the one I missed, jess.

And this looks like the bat
he wrote your dad about.

I wonder
where he is.

There's fresh tire tracks
leading off this way.

Race and I will
take a look around.

You guys stay put in case
dr. Smallwood shows up.

These sketches are
as good as a photograph.

Hey, we could see
for miles from up there.

Maybe we can spot
dr. Smallwood.

You go ahead.

One of us should
hold the fort.

Why should the wise tiger
follow his foolish cousins?

I guess it's
smallwood's truck.

One of his sketchpads
is in the front seat.

He must be exploring
these caves.

Come on, let's
take a look.

Hugo?

Hugo.

Benton,
is that you?

What happened?

We must get out.

We're in
terrible danger.

What the...?

What is it?

I don't know,
but I'll find out.

Behold the book of rage.

Race?

Run, benton.

Get out of here
before it's too late.

Jonny, look at this.

What is that?

It looks like some
kind of an air vent.

An air vent?

For what?

Jonny.

Jess, I got you.

Jessie, jonny.

You okay?

Yeah, I think
so, but...

What's that sound?

Hadji.

Hey, I thought
the wise tiger

Wasn't gonna follow
his foolish cousins.

A yogan has the right
to change proverbs.

We gotta find
another way out of here.

We could follow that
underground river

Below the falls.

It has to come
out somewhere.

I've never seen
so many bats.

Or smelled so many.

Perhaps now might be
an opportune time

To practice the breath control
I was teaching you.

You got it.

I guess that leaves me
to find a clothespin.

Daylight, and, oh,
man, fresh air.

We're not the first people
to discover this cavern, guys.

And I don't think it's marked
on the local tour map.

Looks like some kind of storage
facility for nuclear waste.

An unsavory leftover
from the cold w*r, perhaps.

Experimental nerve gas.

I wonder if my dad knows all
this stuff is buried down here.

Yeah, well, we can tell him
when we get out of here.

Come on.

Hello, there,
can you help us?

We're lost.

Lost?

You will be
lost no more.

Hadji, jessie, run.

Karla?

You're safe
now, karla.

Daddy wouldn't let anything
happen to his munchkin,

Now, would he?

The name's
jessie, pal.

Ezekiel rage will
deliver his punishment

To those
of little faith.

Punishment, karla,
punishment.

By the book.

Ezekiel rage?

Covert-operations agent.

Missing and presumed dead in
a failed operation in panagua.

Oh, silly little
race bannon.

You and the agency are what's
wrong with this world.

You have lost your morals
and your faith,

And you're not
even aware of it.

Well, I am
the new faith.

Like the phoenix risen
from the ashes

I have been reborn to avenge
the death of my family.

And I shall cleanse
this world of evil.

He went to
the dark caverns,

Where the weapons
of doom were buried

And found the smoke
of destruction.

Smoke of destruction?

He must mean
that nerve gas.

What are you
talking about?

There's a whole bunch
of nerve gas

And nuclear waste back
there in barrels.

Yes, foul rain shall
fall on those in power.

Those who left
my family to die.

I'll say one thing about
your precious covert operations.

Were it not for them I
never would have known

About this secret
little waste dump.

I'm sorry I got
you into this.

I had no idea what we
were dealing with.

A psychopath.

A violent, angry man
on a fanatical crusade.

Hadji, forget the yoga.

We need to get loose.

That is exactly what
I'm trying to do

But I just wish I had practiced
my yoga more dutifully.

Hey, we gotta move, boys,
we gotta clear those rocks out.

Please, race, one
minor obstacle at a time.

What I'd give for a couple
of sticks of dynamite.

Maybe there's
another way out.

Jess, those geckos
are what got us

Into this mess
in the first place.

Fringe-toed lizards,
not geckos.

And they must be coming
from somewhere.

Now give me a boost.

There's a passageway.

I think it's just big enough
for me to squeeze through.

Hey, not so fast.

You're not doing
this alone.

Jessie, jonny,
stay cool, be careful.

Just try to reach the truck,
hadji, and radio for help.

Come on, we gotta move fast
or we're gonna lose him.

We need help, hadji,
call the cops.

You got it.

Jess, come on, we're gonna
follow that lunatic.

He must be going back
for more gas.

Now's our chance
to slow this guy down.

Give me a hand
with this, easy.

Yes, the time of vengeance
grows near.

So saith
the book of rage.

The book,
where is it?

Without it,
I have nothing.

Come on, jess,
let's move.

Wait a minute, I just wanna see
what's inside this thing.

This crazy book of his.

Jonny, this must be his
wife and daughter.

That's all that's
in this book.

It's nothing but a picture
of his family.

My book, don't
touch my book.

The moment of judgment
is upon us.

Jonny.

The gas of destruction
has claimed him, karla.

Those are the breaks.

But this time,
you have survived.

Vengeance
shall be mine.

Karla, we will make
those fools pay.

The name is jessie.

And you're not going
anywhere, rage.

What...what have you done,
my little munchkin?

Is this any way to treat
your loving father?

Jessie.

Jonny, you're alive.

Yeah, thanks to hadji's
breathing lessons.

Too bad you're just in time
to go down with the ship.

Maybe not, if you don't
mind sharing a parachute.

Jonny.

One alone shall
be spared.

Better reread
the book, rage.

Hang on, abby.

I'm coming to meet
you, honey.

Hadji.

Am I dreaming?

I thought for sure
the gas had finished you.

Not a chance.

I held my breath so long,
I guess I fell asleep.

Looks like
the cavalry's arrived.

Late, as usual.

Dad.

I'm glad you're okay.

Jessie, what happened?

There was
an incident involving

Some ruptured canisters
of a classified substance.

Fortunately, it dissipates
rapidly in the air.

The nerve gas?

Luckily, you were too deep
in the caverns to be affected.

And what about the rest of
the stuff you got down there?

Now that its location
has been compromised

It will be removed
to another site.

They just keep burying
their mistakes.

But sometimes they come
back to haunt us all.

Like ezekiel rage.

I don't think he'll be coming
back this time, dad.

I felt sorry for him.

I know, jess, but all he
had left was his rage.

Perhaps now
the soul

Of the wounded tiger
will find some peace.
