02x05 - Only a Dream

[bunniefuu]

The world's greatest heroes.

And I thought I'd actually
have to break a sweat.

I'll be doing the breaking.

Yes, indeed.

You break very nicely.

Ha ha ha!

Well done!

Extraordinary!

Congratulations.

You've done what
even I couldn't do, mr...

Dee. John dee.

Ew. We'll have to
do better than that.

Let's see.

Dee. Dee.

Destructor?

Demolisher!

Time for that later.

First mr. Dee has to tell us

Exactly how this thing works.

The materiopticon?

Sorry. It's a trade secret.

That all right.

Grundy like you anyway.

You one of us now.

Easy. Easy.

Easy.

Huh?

Your turn in the barrel.

What's so easy, john?

You were talking in your sleep.

I was just dreaming
about my parole.

I think it's really
gonna happen this time.

I wouldn't bet against it.

You're not like the
other guys here.

You got a future.

Yeah, I got a real
date with destiny.

3, 2, 1.

And stop.

That's it?

I don't feel any different.

You're not supposed to.

Just let your mind go blank,

And tell me what comes into it

When I look at these cards.

Uh... A car maybe.

A tree.

A cow.

A house.

Sheez. So it's true.

This thing really
can give people e.s.p.

Only for a little while,

And I'm still charting
the side effects.

But think of the potential.

I'd sure like to keep
working with you on this.

Even after they let me out.

See what this
baby can really do.

What it could do
is fry your brain.

Hey, sometimes you
have to take a chance.

You know, for science.

I appreciate your zeal, but...

John, your parole report's in.

It's just a little
setback, that's all.

You said that last time
and the time before.

Listen, I'm working
on something new.

It's gonna change everything.

You've said that before, too.

Baby, this time it's
going to happen, I swear.

John, I found someone else.

You can't do this. I'm so close.

You can't do this to me!

Where's that happy
face today, dee?

Shut up.

Ooh.

Sounds like somebody's
getting out of here today.

You ok, doc?

What are you doing here?

I was worried about you.

Sometimes they take hostages.

Better lock up.

Right. Right.

Oof!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Aah!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Stop that.

It's ok. I don't think
he's home right now.

What's he working on, anyway?

I don't know, but it's
probably important,

So leave him alone.

But aren't you even...

Forget him.

Get over here.

Crankier than usual.

So?

Prison break.

Grundy. Copperhead.

Luminous. Volcana. And firefly.

Say no more.

I wasn't intending to.

What about j'onn?

I'm ready.

So what were you working on?

Nothing. I was taking a nap.

Something's blocking it.

Dr. Brooks? You in there?

Dr. Brooks!

Bill!

Ohh...

Warden.

John. John?

Get him to the infirmary. Hurry.

Yes, sir.

Volcana, firefly, you're
completely surrounded.

There's no way out.

How many times have I
heard that in my life?

Almost ready?

Oh, yeah.

That's your flamethrower?

Wait till you see how I use it.

That's all right, honey.

I think I'm in love.

I got your back.

Good. Now I can
really concentrate.

Oof!

Ugh!

Ugh!

Huh! Oh!

Are you good for anything?

You think this can hold me?

Knock yourself out.

What's happening?

Fire needs air.

And you just b*rned
up all of yours.

Two down, 3 to go.

Pretty routine
stuff for you, isn't it?

Sorry. Third night in
a row with no sleep.

Maybe you should...

Warden, dee's gone.

What are you talking about?

He's catatonic!

How could he be gone?

You better come
to the infirmary.

An e.s.p. Machine?

Kind of a dangerous thing
to have in a prison, isn't it?

Where else are you
gonna find volunteers?

Mmm...

It's probably too late,

But you should have someone
check the laundry room.

But... But what
happened to everybody?

Some kind of poisoning?

Yeah?

We've got the
other 3 pinned down

At the old west side refinery.

We'll be right there.

I'm staying.

What for?

You don't know if dee did this.

I don't know that he didn't.

Look, whatever he is,

He sure isn't in the same league

As grundy and the others.

He's a nobody.

Ever read the odyssey?

After odysseus was
caught by the cyclops,

He told that his
name was nobody,

So when he poked its eye out

And its friends
asked who did it,

All the cyclops
could say was "nobody."

Point taken.

What do you know about john dee?

I'll get his file for you.

I might be able to help.

Trouble sleeping?

Maybe it's your conscience.

Oh, I forgot. You
don't have one.

How'd you get in here?

I can go anywhere I want now.

Rick! Rick!

Get up! Get up!

Sound sleeper, huh?

What did you do to him?

Nothing.

But there isn't much
he can do for you.

Not even the justice
league can save you now.

John, please...

You know, I never
liked that name.

It's so... Ordinary.

Especially for someone who
has such big things in store.

You know, a destiny.

Oh. Destiny. I like it.

Dr. Destiny.

What do you think?

You're crazy!

I think you're finally
seeing the real me.

And now that I'm a doctor,

I think I'll perform
some surgery.

Aah! Aah! Aah!

Aah!

What? What?

Hey, you're just having
a nightmare, that's all!

Aah! Aah!

Penny, it's only
a dream. Wake up.

Aah!

Luminous!

Hold it!

Hold what? This?

Huh!

Ha!

Unh!

Huh! Huh!

I heard you knocking.

It was luminous.

Don't feel too bad about it.

He's fooled others a lot worse.

Hey, you ok?

Fine.

This way.

Grundy say this way.

But...

Hold it right there, grundy!

This is as far as you go!

Are you crazy?

No. Mad.

I'm so dead.

Whoa!

You can't leave now.

You haven't seen the ending.

This is supposed to scare me?

They're just illusions.

Unh! Unh! Unh!

They do pack a wallop, though.

I can make light solid, chump.

We just need to
take out the real one.

But which one is it?

That one.

Lights out.

You're flying me out
of here now, lady.

Well, get me out of here.

And what if I don't?

I'll give you your last kiss.

And you fall 40 stories.

Didn't really think
this through, did you?

He's as strong as we are,

But there's one
thing he can't do.

He'll live. You won't.

I'm not scared.

Then maybe this'll help.

You do anything to her,

And you won't even
make it to the ground.

Oh!

Good bluff.

Who was bluffing?

So who's left?

No one. There were
only 5, remember?

Oh, yeah. Right.

Just testing.

Let's call it a night.

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

I got here as soon as I could.

Do your thing.

You look b*at.

Come on. Time to hit the sack.

Uh, I mean. You know, I'll...

I'll take first watch.

No. I'm good.

But I could use some caffeine.

Hey, no prob.

One triple mocha
frappe coming right up.

That'll be $7.50, pl...

Oh!

J'onn?

He calls himself
dr. Destiny now.

He came into her dreams,

Did this to her.

Why can't she wake up?

It's a delusional state.

I'm going back in to see
if I can bring her out of it.

He wants us, too.

Us?

Why?

I never even heard
of him before today.

Ha ha ha.
